They inspected the various departments of the institution and expressed themselves as highly pleased with the work being conducted at Tuskegee. The task of painting all the buildings owned by the institution is nearing completion. A Nortnern friend donated the money for this purpose. The buildings are brighter and add much to the cheering aspect of school. The young men in the divisions of wheelwrighting and blacksmithing are constructing a beautiful new trap, to be sent North, for exhibition purposes. A number of other articles will be included in the exhibit. Eastern Star Meeting RICHMOND, Ind., Special.--The twelfth annual session of the Grand chapter, O. E. S, was held here July 10 11 and 12th.

Subscribe for A NEGRO NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COLORED PEOPLE OF INDIANA AMERICA'S APPEAL Civic Decency Is In the Balance Against Threats of Dishonor. The following is an address delivered by the Hon. Theedore Roosevelt before the National Republican league convention at St. Paul on the evening of July 17. Gov. Roosevelt said: We have come here to begin the work of a campaign more vital to American interests than any that has taken place since the close of the civil war. We appeal not only to Republicans, but to all good citizens who are Americans in fact as well as in name, to help us in re-electing President McKinley. It was indeed of infinite importance to elect him four years ago. Yet the need is even greater now. Every reason then obtained in his favor obtains now, and many more have been added. Four years ago the success of the Populistic Democracy would have meant fearful misery, fearful disaster at home; it would have meant the shame that is worse even than misery and disaster. Today it would mean all this, and in addition the immeasurable disgrace of abandoning the proud position we have taken, of filinching from the great work we have begun. President McKinley has more than made good all that he promised, or that was promised on his behalf, and as the smoke clears away we see how utterly trivial are the matters because of which his administration T. E. B. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. has been criticised, when compared with the immense substantial gains for American honor and interest which under that administration have been brought about. We appealed for President McKinley before, asserting what he would do if president, from our knowledge of what he had done in lesser positions. Now we appeal for him in asking that the promise of a second term be judged by the performance of his first, and pledging that the wonderful work so triumphantly begun in his first term shall in his second be carried to an even more triumphant conclusion. We ask support for President McKinley because of what he has actually done, of what he now stands for and typifies and because of the marvelous work that has been accomplished under his administration. We ask the support of all upright citizens because against him are arrayed the forces of chaotic evil, because of the brooding menace to our moral and industrial welfare, which is implied in the present attitude and purpose of the Populistic Democracy. We know definitely what we believe and we say it outright. Our opponents who represent all the forces of discontent, malice and envy, formed and INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1900 SAME OLD PLATFORM. TO KANSTERS CITY PLATFORM BRYAN Why not construct a new one, up to date, colonel? formless, vague and concrete, can hardly be said to know what they really do believe, because the principles they profess, if put forth nakedly, are so revolting, even to their own followers, that they like at least to try to wrap the mantle of hypocrisy around them. They rant about trusts, but they have nothing practicable to advance in the way of remedy; nor is this to be wondered at, when one of the makers of their platform, the representative from New York, and the leader of their organization in New York, are both themselves among the most prominent stockholders in the worst trust to be found in the United States, the ice trust, which had justly exposed itself to the criticism which our opponents often unjustly apply to every form of industrial effort. They have invented the imaginary danger of imperialism, and about that they also rave. Yet so conscious are they of the hollowness of their attack, so well aware that to follow out their professions would mean to trail the American flag in the dust, that they are obliged to pretend that really after all they are for expansion. After infinite labor they finally did decide that they still believed in free silver. This decision was reached in their committee by a vote of 26 to 24; so that it appears that they only have 52 per cent of faith in their 48-cent dollar after all. Even this amount of faith they were able to reach purely by the aid of Hawaii, and yet four years ago they objected as much to our expansion over Hawaii as they now object to our expansion over the Philippines! There is an element of grim comedy in these builders having now perforce to take the once rejected stone to make out of it the foundation of their new platform. Their only unequivocal position is that in favor of free silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, for they have sought at least to make the pretense of qualifying, or at least of clouding what they mean when they ask for the relaxation of the bonds of justice and order and the abandonment of our position as a great nation manfully doing its part in the world work that must be done by all great nations. True to their nature, they have sought to subordinate the one issue on which they take a decisive stand, and they declare that they have subordinated the question of free silver to other questions. Now, as a matter of fact, they cannot decide which one of their various heresies the people shall regard as most important. The decision rests with the people themselves; and those who are primarily interested in our financial honesty and industrial well being cannot and will not admit that any possible difference is caused by putting the free silver plank in one rather than another portion of the platform. If a man announces that he believes in the doctrine of cowardly surrender and also in the doctrine of the repudiation of debts, it makes not the slightest difference as to the order in which he puts the two policies. Neither does it make any difference whether the Populist Democracy to which we are now opposed lays most stress upon its 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 Cleveland Plain Dealer. determination to degrade the flag. We are opposed to both propositions, and no self respecting citizen in making up his decision can afford to neglect either. There is little need to argue against free silver now. What need we say against a doctrine which would work a sweeping and destructive revolution in our financial system, and yet which is advanced by a party only after a violent contest in which nearly half of that party has opposed it? At Kansas City it took the Democrats two days to determine upon the free silver plank in their platform. The rest of the planks did not need an hour's work. And yet they solemnly ask that the two days' plank shall be relegated to a secondary position. Indeed, if their attitude on this question were not full of such terrible possibilities of tragedy to the nation, it would amount to a farce. My fellow-townsmen, Mr. Richard Croken, the arbiter of the destinies of the New York Democracy, has recently evolved a theory which is entirely worthy of serious consideration by men who are willing to take the Kansas city convention itself seriously. Mr. Croken has announced that he thinks congress should change the ratio every four years, so that the only thing certain about our dollar would be that no one ever could phophesy more than that length of time in advance what it would amount to. Mr. Croker's party associates appear inclined, it is true, to treat his views on finance with levity. But in reality he is just as much entitled to serious treatment from them as they are entitled to serious treatment from us. It is hardly necessary to say that not merely free silver, but the very threat of free silver would paralyze our whole industrial life. The election of Mr. Bryan would cause such economic and financial chaos as to reduce this whole country to a condition of fearful and acute distress that can not be imagined even by those who keep fresh in mind the dark days of '03, only seven years ago. Any representatives of the Populistic Democracy, as at present imposed, whom Mr. Bryan could appoint as secretaries of state and of the treasury, would inevitably bring the country to the brink of ruin; they would do far more to harm it now than they could have done four years ago. Now, as to expansion. It hardly seems worth while to waste any time upon what the Kansas City people call imperialism and militarism. The dominant note of the Kansas City convention was insincerity. The convention which nominated Mr. Bryan in 1900 was in character infinitely below that which nominated him in 1896. In 1896, for all their wild and dangerous folly, his advocates had at least the merit of sincerity in their bitter fanaticism. However wrong-headed, they knew what they believed and they stated it without fear. In 1900 their actions were determined purely by policy, and their pandering to the worst and most degraded passions in our national life, bad enough in all conscience sake in itself, was rendered infinitely worse because robbed of every vestige of honesty and sincerity. It took them two days to find out what they believed about free silver, and this was the only plank concerning A Great Advertising Medium Address THE RECORDER. which they took the trouble to find out their beliefs at all. They reasserted the doctrines of anarchy which they had prescribed in 1896, not because they longer believed in them, but because they hoped by announcing them to attract to themselves all men of unsound and violent mind. When it came to dealing with our foreign policy they deliberately strive to foster resistance to the national flag where such resistance already exists, and to call it into being where it does not exist, with the hope of gaining some petty party advantage at no matter what cost of ruin to the nation. They mouth about imperialism and militarism knowing that there is not one shred of truth in what they say, knowing if the know anything, that their words are putting a premium upon trouble in every island from which the Spaniards have been driven; and caring nothing because they wish to purchase party success even at the cost of dishonor to the flag, of death and suffering to the men who fight under the flag. Bitter, indeed, is the cup they hold out to the nation to drink, and thrice bitter it will be for the nation if it does not spurn it. What they say about Cuba and Porto Rico need not detain us for a moment. In Porto Rico we now have Gov. Allen in charge. We have established a system under which the island is advancing by leaps and bounds to prosperity. In Cuba we have put Gen. Leonard Wood in charge, and all the preliminary steps have been taken to give to the people of the island their own government. Our pledge to Cuba shall of course be kept. Gen. Wood's administration is a synonym for honesty and cleanliness, and the minute that fraud was discovered in the postal department, the wrongdoers were hunted down in unsparing pursuit; and the best possible proof was thereby given that we meant what we said, and that governmental cleanliness would be obtained in the only possible way by the unsparing cutting out of corruption wherever it was found. We now come to the Philippines, and to the general question of expansion. Many of the positions taken by the Populistic Democracy at the moment are so palpably dishonest and maintained in such palpable bad faith that to state them is sufficient. It is hardly necessary to discuss what they say about "the constitution following the flag." The Democratic party never championed the doctrine thus set forth save in the dark days when it had become the hand maiden of slavery and rebellion, and danced to any tune which the apostles of slavery chose to pipe. When under Jefferson the great west beyond the Mississippi was acquired, when, largely through the instrumentality of Jackson, Florida was added to the Union, the new provinces with their Indian populations, were governed precisely and exactly on the theory under which the Philippines are now governed. President Jefferson secured the Louisiana purchase just as President McKinley secured the Philippines, and Andrew Jackson warred against the Seminoles when we had acquired Florida from Spain precisely as Gen. MacArthur is now warring against the bandits among the Tagals in Luzon. Unless we are willing to deprive Jefferson and Jackson of the meed of honor which has been held to be peculiarly theirs, we cannot deny the same high praise to President McKinley. At Kansas City the men engaged in preaching the gospel of dishonor and repudiation solemnly asserted that "imperialism abroad will lead quickly and inevitably to despotism at home." You men of Minnesota and the Dakotas who are here this evening can appreciate the fatuousness of that statement, by the simple process of thinking whether your liberties have been abridged by the return of the Minnesota and Dakota troops who won such honor for themselves in the Philippines. There are geometrical propositions so essentially absurd that mathematicians hold their statement to be equivalent to their refutation. So it is with this proposition. If it were worth while I would Price 3 Cents point out its dishonesty and insincerity. But flagrant though these are, its absurdity is so much more flagrant that nothing need be said. So it is with their cant about militarism and "intimidation and oppression at home" as following what they are pleased to call "conquest abroad." We cannot argue with them on this proposition, because no serious man thinks for one moment that they believe what they assert. During the great civil war there were many preachers of the gospel of disloyalty among the so-called "copperheads" of the north, and these men, like their representatives among our opponents today, prophesied the subversion of the country when the great armies of Grant and Sherman came back from the war; but the great armies of Grant and Sherman returned to civil life and were swallowed up among their fellow citizens without a ripple. A considerable army was kept for a year or two on the Indian frontier and in some of the southern states, but it never entered the head of a human being to attempt what the copperhead prophets of disaster had frantically foretold. In 1808 or 1890 you yourselves saw regiments and brigades and divisions return from Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines to be disbanded and swallowed up in the mass of the people, if volunteers, and if regulars, to resume their ordinary work in fort and cantonment; and after greeting them on the day they returned, the bulk of people would never have been able to tell except by the newspapers whether they had come back or not. Of all idle chatter the talk of danger of militarism is the idlest. The army we have now is relatively to the population of the country less in size than it has been again and again during the last century and a quarter, in times when we had only our own Indians to guard against. In Washington's administration, General Wayne spent some three years in Ohio warring against the Tagalos of that day, with under him an army larger in proportion to the then population of the nation than all our present national forces, regulars and volunteers, combined, and there is just as little danger from the evils of militarism now as there was then. It is as utter folly to talk of our liberties being mened by the existence of a force capable of keeping order in our outlying possessions now as it would have been to talk of their being menaced in the seventies by the soldiers who followed Custer and his fellows against the Comanche, Apache and Sloux. No, our opponents mean nothing, and know that they mean nothing, when they prate about militarism and attempt to say that they favor expansion, but are against "imperialism." They used precisely the same arguments six years ago against our taking Hawaii that they now use against our taking the Phillippines. They pulled down our flag in Hawaii just as they now wish to pull it down in the Philippines. We had to undo their work in Hawaii just as in the end, but at an infinite cost of bloodshed and woe, we would have to do in the Philippines should they be successful in this election. Yet not one of them now would dream of saying that we were not right about Hawaii, if fact they would not do so, when by a strange irony the Kansas City convention had to rely upon the vote of Hawaii before it could be settled what its views were on the financial system of our country. As regards the Philippines, even the Kansas City convention felt that they had to propose some policy, and what they propose is that we should first give them a stable form of government; second, independence, and third, protection from outside interference. By the order in which they put these propositions they showed their estimate of their importance. Well, what we are doing now is precisely and exactly to secure a stable form of government in the Philippines, and the chief obstacle in our way is the support given to the bloody Aguinaldian oligarchy by their sympathizers among the people who were represented in the Kansas City convention. Moreover, now we actually are seeing that no outside nation interferes in the island. After we have secured a stable government, we intend to give them self government as rapidly as they are fitted for it. Our opponents say that they wish now to give them independence. To give "independence" now would be precisely like giving independence to the wildest tribe of Apaches in Arizona. It would mean the turning over of the most peaceful, law-abiding and prosperous part of the population to be plundered by the banditti who are following Aguinaldo. In China we Continued next issue.

Merchants Are Too Conservative For Their Own Good. The intense conservatism of the British character is illustrated in the story of a young Englishman who came to America to seek his fortune and found it in a new process for manufacturing lamp black. The principal market for his product was Germany, but he found that the German buyers, in turn, sold it in England. So he conceived the logical idea of going to England and selling the lamp black direct, which appeared to be certain of success, for he was able to say to the English firms: "Instead of buying my lamp black through Germany and paying for unnecessary transportation, to say nothing of the middleman's profit, let me send you the product direct. You can then buy even cheaper than the Germans, to whom you now pay a profit." The head of one of the largest houses replied: "Really, Mr. Smith our house has always found the goods bought in Germany satisfactory. This house has been in existence 200 years and we can see no reason for changing satisfactory methods, you know." Poor Mr. Smith got this reply on all sides, and his trip was a failure.—Kansas City Star.

INDIANA The door of Sir John's study opens and shuts; there is the sound of firm footsteps crossing the hall and in another moment Major Penningdale's soldierly figure stands in the gloaming shadows of the pretty fire-lit drawing room. Doris Dudley rises nervously from her low basket chair by the old fashioned grate, and the major, advancing, takes the girl's shyly outstretched hand and retains it within his own. "Your father tells me that you have consented to become my wife," he says, gravely; "may I hope to hear you confirm my happiness with your own lips?" There is no note of triumph in his voice, only a respectful pleading tenderness that, despite her timidity, encourages the girl to meet the eager gaze of those kindly gray eyes. But her sweet face is ghastly white, and the words of her reply are spoken with evident effort. "Yes, it is true," she says, "I—I will try to—to do my duty towards you." "Only that, Doris?" the major asks, softly; "cannot you find it in your sympathetic little heart to love me?" "You know I cannot," is the reply, "Oh, Major Penningdale, don't pray, don't compel me to go over that aspect of the case again. I—I like you very much, indeed, I do, but I have before explained why I cannot love you." The hopeful light dies out of the major's eyes, and his stern, handsome face is contracted as by a momentary spasm of pain. "You mean, of course, what your father calls the boy-and-girl nonsense between you and young Clitherton?" he says, sadly. "It is no nonsense," Dories cries, hotly, "and papa is unjust and—and cruel. Bob and I have known each other since his father first became recorder here, 18 years ago. We have grown up from tiny childhood together, and until this money trouble of papa's, it was tacitly understood that we were to marry when Bob obtained promotion." Major Penningdale smiles a trifle, grimly. "You would have found even a captain's pay no great wealth, especially in a regiment like ours," he says, "and I understand that Mr. Clitherton has little or nothing besides." "No, but he has good expectations; he will come into most of his uncle's property some day, and I should not have minded being poor in the least. But it's no use to talk of all that now," the girl adds, hopelessly. "Pardon me if I disagree with you," is the response. "It is far better, I think, that we should understand each other at the outset. Forgive me if I pain you—there was no formal engagement, I believe; your father was never consulted?" "No, but he would have raised no objection at the time. It is only since his losses that he has told me I must marry money if I would save him from ruin." "He has been equally candid with me," the major says, coldly. "I suppose I must thoroughly understand it is my fortune and not me that you will wed." he adds, with a sigh. Doris hangs her head, for there is something in the other's voice that touches her in spite of herself. "I am so sorry," she says, gently; "it all seems very shameful, doesn't it?" Pennindale laughs mirthlessly, "Yes," he agrees. "I'm afraid it's not particularly romantic." He takes both her hands in his and looks into her tearful eyes with a world of suppressed yearning in his own. "I dare say, I appear a regular old brute to you—I nearly twice your age, remember, but it's not too late to draw back. Heaven forbid that you should be forced into this against your will." "No, no." Doris cries, hastily, "you must not think of that; indeed, you must not. I told papa yesterday that I would do as he wished; I feel I ought to be very grateful to you for your kindness." "Poor girl," Penningdale says, softly. "Do you know that somehow you make me feel a desperate villian? Well, we must make the best of things, I suppose," he goes on, with a rather lame attempt at cheerfulness. "I must try and suppress my ogrelish instincts as much as possible: I assure you I'm not such a very terrible ruffian when you know me." "I believe you are all that is kind and thoughtful," the girl says, cordially; "you deserve some one who would make you happier than I can." "That would be impossible," is the quiet answer. "I have never loved. I never shall love any woman but you." Then observing his companion's embarrassment, he adds, considerably, "but I shall frighten you away if I begin to talk sentiment. Have you heard that the regiment is ordered to South Africa?" "No; is it, indeed?" Doris cries, jumping gladly at the change of the subject. "Yes; things look very black there; they say war may break out at any moment, so, you see, you won't be troubled with me for some time, even if you don't get your release from me altogether." The girl slivers, "Don't, please, talk like that," she says; "you pain me unspeakably." "Forgive me," Penningdale responds humbly, "I am a brute. But you know, dear, it doesn't do to shut your eyes completely to the dangers of a campaign, so perhaps you will bear with me for a few moments while I tell you what I have arranged with your father. Of course, the marriage cannot take place until I return, but as Sir John's necessities are urgent I shall advance him a sufficient sum to relieve him of all immediate anxieties with regard to the estate. Should I fall, you will find yourself your father's creditor for the amount, and, from all I know of you, I don't suppose he'll find you a particularly unrelenting one." The last few words are said with a smile and an air of cheerfulness that is kindly intended to divert the girl's mind from the reference to possible disaster. Who could remain insensible to the tender consideration, ungrate- ful for the generous purpose of this noble-souled soldier? Not Doris, certainly. Her eyes filled with tears, her gentle heart goes out to him as he stands gazing thoughtfully into the flames. "Major Penningdale," she says steadily, "You are a good and a true man, and I thank you with all my heart." And before the major knows quite what is happening the girl has drawn down his head and kissed him on the lips. The South African sun shining brilliantly from a cloudless sky, a broad stretch of veldt, frowned upon by precipitous hills that echo the incessant rattle of the Boer fire, belching forth death from every bowler and kopje upon the handful of British cavalry below. This little scouting party has "located the enemy's position and drawn their fire" with a vengeance and they now prepare to fall back upon the main body. The bugle sings out a few chariot notes, the quivering horses are wheeled, and in another moment are thundering back amid the leaden ball. The two officers of the party. Major Penningdale and Lieut. Clitherton ride almost side by side. Suddenly the latter's horse pecks, stumbles on a yard or two, and then rolls over dead, pinning its rider to the ground with the weight of its body. The major, looking back over his shoulder checks his mettled but well-trained charger within a dozen yards, turns, and in a few moments is standing beside his prostrate subaltern, with the bridle hitched over one arm. A glance shows him how matters stand. Clitherton has become unconscious, stunned by the fall or overpowered by the heavy weight of the dead horse that is slowly crushing the life out of him. Phutt! A bullet strikes the saddle and several more hum alarmingly near but the major is calmness itself. With an effort that handicapped as he is is positively herculean he contrives to shift the dead animal sufficiently to allow of his dragging Clitherton from beneath. The guns on the hills growl and mutter like a giant bear angry at seeing its prey escaping. The air seems alive with flying bullets, but they might as well be peas for all Penningdale appears to care. Lifting the lieutenant in his arms he sets him with some difficulty astride the saddle, mounts himself, and with one hand supporting his insensible burden and the other on the reins, speeds back through the death-dealing shower. Clitherton opens his eyes before long and stares confusedly at the grim set face so close to his, but it is not until they are out of range of the Boer fire that the major pulls up and assists the younger man, now rapidly recovering, to alight. A flood of recollection breaks in upon the latter's half-dazed mind. "Major, you're a hero," he says, with grateful enthusiasm; "you've saved my life." The other responds by a question: "Are you wounded at all?" he asks. "No, sir, I don't think so; but that's thanks to you. The beggars were potting at me all the time I was struggling to get free. I fancy I've got a rib or two broken, that's all. And you, sir—my God! were you hit?" For the major had snuck suddenly to the ground, his face ashen colored and a bloody foam about his lips. "Yes," he says, weakly, as Clitherton, kneeling, bends anxiously over him. "Yes, they had me as I was dragging you out. Stay"—as the other signals urgently to some of the troopers who are riding back—"don't call any aid. I—I'm past it. Bend closer so. Tell—tell Doris I have given her release." He smiles faintly, half turns as a gush of blood from the lungs fills his mouth, and sinks back into his companion's arms—dead.—Ally Sloper. A Queer Lot.

Who Slew the Philistines. Sunday school teacher, a pretty miss, with snapping black eyes and rosy cheeks, was catechizing her class. The boys did not know much, and she wished to learn just how much, so as to enable her to lay her plans for their future instructions, says the Detroit Free Press. "Tommy," speaking to a fat young rascal with a marked unwillingness to learn anything good, "who slew the Philistines?" "Dewey," he responded unconcernedly, as though that were something a babe ought to know. "Now, Tommy you ought to know better than that. Tell me, some one, who slew the Philistines?" "Sampson," piped up a little treble from the corner. "Aw gwaw! watcher givin' us?" growled the big boy in the far end. "Sampson wasn't there at all. Schley did the trick." The Bluebirds.

Tabb I have used kipis tablets with so many satisfaction that I can cheerfully recommend them. Have been troubled for about ten years with a cough that lasted for 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 attack was mild. I had kipis tablets in all the papers but had no in them, but about six weeks since a friend induced me to try them. Have taken two of the tablets, and have had no 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 kipis tablets. I have many testimonials you doubtless have in your possession now. A. T. D. Waivry. ONE GIVES RELIEF. R.I.P.A.N.S The modern standard Family Medicine: Cures the common every-day ill of humanity.

The father had forbidden the boys to call on his daughters, and so he was included in the plot. Eliza testi- fied that she saw the boys and their guns outside the house before the shooting. ‘The girls’ story made a profound sensa~ tion, as the defendants had established a tentative alibi, and it was the general be- Nef that they were Innocent.

The Amer- ican and French consuls, while congratu- lating h..n on these commendable pur- poses, reminded him of his pledges to protect foreigners and to preserve peace in southern and central China, Earl Li replied that he must obey the summons to Pekin, but that he had taken all nec- essary precautions. He added that ho had recelyed important cables from Lord Salisbury and M, Deleasse, demanding protection for the foreign missionaries in Pekin and threatening to take life for life If the ministers were murdered. He told the consuls that he was the only man in China who dared to transmit such messages to the Empress, To the Amer- ican consul, who inquired about the ac- tual safety of the foreign ministers at Pekin, Li answered that he had recelved no news from Pekin within the past week, but that if they were alive he was almost certain matters could be ar- ranged satisfactorily. ‘If they are dead,’ he sald, ‘it is hard to tell what may hap- pen. Iam going to Pekin practically un- armed, except for my body guard of twa hundred men, and that ought to be evi- ence that I do not favor any fighting. I am old and in poor health, and it is per- sonal sacrifice to undertake such a jour- ney.’ After a moment's thought he said; ‘If your ministers are killed, do you think my life may be taken in retaliation while en route?" This question received a strong negative reply. He then asked the con: suls to wire to their respective admirals to respect his own flag and to allow him a safe conduct to Pekin. He was evi dently exceedingly anxious about the ministers, for, returning to the subject, he sald: ‘My heart Is sore about them I know them all personally, and I am or the best of good terms with them.’ * EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE, Congress Muy be Soon Called Upon to Deal With Chinese Question, Washington special: In military elreles it Is believed that sooner or later an ex- tra. session of Congress will be necessary, Military men argue that the President has the authority, but lacks the re- sources to deal with the Chinese situa- tlon, the required troops not being avall- able, Adjutant General Corbin is able to muster not to exceed 12,000 troops, and this number is deemed entirely inade- quate to take care of our interests in China, or to compel reparation and main- tain our dignity as a nation. ‘The logic of events places us in an aggressive, not a defensive attitude, and such an attitude ean not be sustained without a consid- erable force, It is fully realized, {f not acknowledged, that the fullness of the reparation we may expect will depend on the extent of the force displayed by. this government. From a military point of view the choice is simply between with- drawal and a very substantial Increase of our army in China, and no one regards withdrawal ay an honorable possibility. FAITH CURISTS IN JAIL, An Innocent Babe Dies Without Recelving ‘Any Medical Attention.

They are H, B, Sollenberger and Wzra Sheets, who came here about three months ago from Lincoln, Neb,, said to bo the headquarters of the association. ‘Phe place occupied by them here was a small six-room house, in which were found nine children and five adults. An autopsy developed the fact that the child’s death was due to gastric enteritis, and the testimony showed that no med. feal attention was given to the infant. Both men said they had not solfetted medical attention because it was against thelr religious principles, adding: “We are children of God, and believe in curing disease by prayer.” ‘PRAIN SPLITS A BUILDING, A String of Freight Cars Pushed Through ‘a Factory With Disastrous Kesults, St. Joseph, Mo.. special: A Rock Island passenger train Sunday pushed a freight train off the track and through a bulld- Ing seventy feet square owned by the St. Joseph Plow Company, completely de: Stroying the structure.

DEPARTMENT COMMANDERS CALL FOR MORE TROOPS, seve es Pa een a Tontaarsonoetaes roo aa anes ae et em ore soldiers” is' the demand which is coming to General Mac- Arthur from every department of the islands. Recent events have worked to vindicate General Lawton’s judgment that 109,000 troops would be needed to es- tablish American sovereignty over the Philippines. Until they attempted to hold provinces of two or three hundred thou- sand hostile people with a regiment or two the American commanders hardly realized the size of the Philippine islands, The present foree is not large enough to garrison more than half the important towns, and in some of the most im- portant islands, among them Cebu, Pa- nay, Samar, Leyte and the great Moham- medan empire of Mindanao, only. the commercial ports are occupled. ‘The Moros are a cloud or. the horlzon. ‘The offlecrs best acquainted with condi- tions in Mindanao and the Sulu islands tell the Associated Press correspondent that they consider serious fighting there mevitable. If it comes the two regiments which are scattered in smail garrisons, some of them, hundreds of miles apart along the coast of Mindanao, an island nearly as large as Luzon, may have se- rlous work, The Moros are fighters by nature, do not fear death, have many guns, though of antiquated makes, but do the best execution by lying in the thick jungles and cutting down soldiers who pass through with their terrible knives and spears, General Young is holding seven of the most mountainous provinces of Luzon with four regiments and expects severe work during the rainy season. For some two months after his bewildering inva- sion of the north in December, the insur- gents were paralyzed, but, finding ample opportunities to reorganize, the insur- gents have avafled themselves thereof. ‘The troops have worn themselves and horses down to the limit of endurance in marching about the mountain trails, striking the Flipinos wherever they could get track of an organized band. Hun- dreds have been slain, but much of the work has been Uke brushing away mos- quitaoes, which swarm down upon a new spot. General Tinlo has a nomadic com- mand whose warriors can hide their guns and become “amigos” if it sults their interests, As few of them wear un- forms and the people combine to shield them from detection the Americans are jsteatly handicapped. ‘The church has become a troublesome factor in Young's territory. Aglipay, the priest who has proclaimed himself as archbishop of the Philippines, an ex-com- munieated archbishop of Nosealeda, ts In the field as @ general. His forces at- tacked Captain Dood, of the Third Cay- fairy, at Batoe, where more than two hundred Filipinos were slain. Aglipay commanded in person, and there is an lunproved report that he was among the slain, His followers fought with the recklessness of Mohammedan fanatles. They approached the Americans in three Uines—an advance guard of women, ar- ranged with the expectation that the Americans would not fire upon them; at- fer the women a line of bolomen and oth- srs, armed only with wooden swords, no more @angerous than policemen's clubs, and behind the bolomen the riflemen. Happily the women threw themselves flat upon the ground and sought shelter at the first fire, so that few of them were injured. ‘The soldiers thought they were men dressed in women's clovhes. The onslaught of the bolomen was like the descent of the Mahdi's fanatics upon Kitchener's squad at Khartum. They kept coming on faster than the soldiers sould shoot them down, until they were so close that our cavalrymen had not Ume to load but went through them with clubbed carbines. Archbishop Chapelle has taken no un- certain stand on the question of tho friars, which the Filipino people regard as the key note of all thelr troubles. The archbishop bas expressed his opinion treely to many of ns and to civilians with whom he has talked, although he declines to give any formal interviews for publl- cation, His conclusions summarized are these “phat the Filtpinos owe to the monastle brotherhood all the education and ctvili- zation they possess. That tt would be a great injustice to the friars to expel them from the field wherein they have worked for centuries, or to deprive them lof the estates which they have acquired honestly and have administered for the public good. That it would be impossible to replace them with other priests, be- cause there is no other clerical force ac- quainted with the country and the lan- guages of the people and the Filipino priests are not competent to hold any but subordinate positions In the church. That the opposition to the friars {s an artificial propaganda, fostered by the insurgents ‘and by the Filipino priests, who are themselves leaders in the Insurrection, land who are using it to obtain control of the church in the islands.” Ar INDIANAPOLIS.

A feature of the speeches was that they all paid tribute to what the Democratic party has done 4n the past, though they unsparingly de- nounced the present Democratic State administration and the Democratic Lee- Islature, thus indicating a purpose. to welcome into the Republican party all Democrats who are opposed to the Goebel election law. ‘There was no nomination to be made by this convention except for Governor, as this year’s election in Ken- tucky is an extraordinary one to fill the vacancy in the governorship made by the death of William Goebel. ‘The present Governor, Beckham, will hold his office only untit his successor 1s elected and qualities, unless he should himself be elected Governor, AT BLAVOGREHENSK CHINESE ATTACK RUSSIANS AT AMUR'’S CAPITAL. Garrison Held Ont Bravely But Was Over whelmed-China Declares War Against Russia. London, July 18.—The Daily Mall pub- Ushes a sensational dispatch from St. Petersburg, dated Monday, which asserts that there is no doubt that China has declared war against Russia, “The Russian press,” said the corre- spondent, “is restricted to the publication of official details, and the publication of many dispatches from the front has been prohibited. I hear, however, from a re- lable source, that the Chinese troops and the boxers ‘seized a Russian transport vessel laden with munitions near Aigun, (on the Amur river, about elghteen miles from the Russian frontier), killing almost. the entire Russian escort. They next sud- denly attacked and bombarded the town of Blavogrehensk (capital of the Amur government on the Amur river. The gar- rison held out bravely, but was finally overwhelmed. Nearly all perished and the town was burned.” KILLS HIS WIFE AND BABE, Shoemaker Louls Eisen Then Cuts His Own ‘Throat With a Razor. Baltimore special: Poverty, ill health and a weak-minded wife impelled Louis Elsen, a shoe maker, Sunday, to kill him- self, wife Sarah and a 13-months-old son, Morris, with a razor and to wound his three-and-a-half-years old son Harry, who will probably recover, ‘The tragedy occurred in squalid apartments on East Lexington street. When the police en- tered the.room they found the corpse of Hisen lying in the middie of the floor with his head almost severed from his body. Beside him lay a bloody razor. ‘The body of Mrs. Bisen lay across an old mattress in the corner of the room, hor throat cut from ear to ear, and the in- fant’s little body was in a baby carriage behild the shoe maker's counter. A most pitiable and distressing sight was the little boy Harry, standing near the body of his dead mother with blood streaming from his throat, looking won- deringly at the policemen as they exam- ined the corpses to sce if there was any sign of life. MOB ATTACKS CHINAMEN, A Kansas City Crowd Starts An Antt caus Waiiaiaatoaheie, Kansas City special: Incensed at the Boxers’ murders, a crowd of men and boys gathered about the Jaundry of Ah Sing, a Chinese laundryman, Sunday, and started a demonstration that caused Sing to call on the police for protection. ‘The crowd passed the time throwing stones into the laundry and calling out to the Inmates that they would xill them. A squad of policemen dispersed the crowd quickly, and at the instigation of Sing, who is one of the most intelllgent of the several hundred Chinese in Kansas City, guarded the place during the night.

London, July 13.—Lord Roberts's dis- patch reporting still another unfortunate occurrence throws a. serious. light on the state of affairs in South Africa, There has been some comment recently regard~ ing the virtual absence of progress by the immediate army under command of Lord Roberts, but few could have been found to believe that the scattered Boers were ‘able to inflict such a defeat so near Pre- toria.. Instead of the surrender of all of the remaining Boers being imminent, as. recent telegrams had hinted, {t seems that they have been making a concerted attempt to surround or recapture Preto ria, with so much success that in the re- gion which was supposed to be pacified and in which no attack was expected, they succeeded tn inflicting a serious de- feat and capturing two guns and some two hundred men. It ts evident that Gen- eral Botha has a considerable force, see~ ing that he fs able to press Lord Rob- erts's Iines at a half dozen points around Pretoria. Following is the dispatch re- celyed from Lord Roberts, under date of July 12: “The enemy, having failed in thelr at- tack upon our right rear, as mentioned im my telegram of July 9, made a determined, attack on our right flank yesterday, and, I regret to say, succeeded in capturing Nitrai’s Nek, which was garrisoned by a squadron of the Scots Greys, with twa guns of a battery of the Royal Artillery and five companies of the Lincolnshire Regiment, The enemy attacked In su- perior numbers at dawn, and, selzing the hills commanding the nek, brought = heavy gun fire to bear on the small gar- rison, Nitral's Nek 1s about elghteen miles from hero, whero the road crosses tho Crocodile river, It was held by us In order to maintain road and telegraphio, communication with Rustenburg. ‘The, fighting lasted more or less throughout the day, and immediately on receiving In- formation early this morning of the on- emy’s strength, I dispatched reinforce ments from here under Colonel Godfrey, of the King’s Own Scottish Borderers. Before, however, they reached the spot the garrison had been overpowered and the guns and a great portion of the squadron of the Greys had been captured, owing to the horses being shot; also. about ninety men of the Lincoln Regl- ment. A list of the casualties has not been received, but I fear they are heavy. Simultaneously an attack was made om our outposts near Durdepoort, north of, the town, in which the Seventh Dragoons were engaged. ‘The regiment was handled. with considerable skill by Lleutenant Colonel Low, and kept the enemy im check until they retired on thelr supports and would probably haye suffered but slight loss had not our troops mistaken some Boers in the bushes for our men.’ KILLED AND EATEN, Bushmen Devoured by the Bloodthirsty. Cannibals of New Britain, ‘Victoria, B. C., special: Busnmen from Cape Oxford, according to a letter re-~ ceived by the Miowora from Sydney, wore killed and eaten by cannibals on the coast of New Britain. The German gov- ernment 1s taking steps to punish the cannibals. The bushmen had been trad- ing, and when they got to the landing the canoes they were in were fired on and, ‘at once sunk, Many were killed and their bodies carried ashore, But the most hor- rifying tneldent was when several men were captured alive and dragged to the actual scene of the feast thelr bodies were to provide. They were clubbed, and afterward roasted or baked and eaten. ‘This tribe of native ghouls is one of the most notorious on the island for man- eating. They are not head hunters in the Solomon islands sense of the term, but blood-thirsty Kanakas who kill for food solely. ‘The victims were not all killed at once, some of them witnessing the killing of their comrades and the first part of the cannibal feast. A Sewn Wane Oak. Parkersburg, W. Va., special: The little town of Salem, about fifty miles east of here, suffered a terrible loss by fire ‘Tuesday afternoon. Salem had the Iarg- est woolen mill in the State. It took fire, but just how will probably never be Known. The fire raged three hours and then struck an open field and died out, jeaving but little of the town standing. ‘The buildings burned are the woolen mill, livery barn, two private stables, and six- teen dwellings. Two persons will lose their lives, a man named Davis and an unknown woman, The loss was $00,000, A Farmer Murdered, Mt. Vernon, Ill. special: William Reed, of Farmington township, was shot and instantly killed while riding ina wagon with his wife and children at 5 o'clock Bunday.

A surplus of over $81,000,000 for the last fiscal year is a pretty good showing for Republican party government considering that heavy war expenses, as well as the ordinary expenditures of the Government were paid out of the receipts. When we add the nation al debt has been decreased to some $40,000,000 in the same time, the showing becomes phenomenal. RESCUE RIDERS. The colored voters of Anderson have organized into clubs which will be known as "Rescue Riders" commemorating the heroic charges of the famous Ninth and Tenth Cavalry, colored, at El Caney, San Juan Hill, and Santiago, Cuba, during the Spanish-American War. The term "Rescue Riders" is really meritorious and is synonomous of what it conveys. It should be adopted as the name of all the organized political clubs of colored men the country over. The name will certainly do credit to what ever club or organization that it attaches itself to. As we well remember, had it not been for the timely charge of the Nith and Tenth Cavalry at El Caney, the Seventy-first N, Y, regiment and Roosevelt's Rough Ridcrs would have been annihilated by the Spanish troops. We urge the colored voters to see that the deeds of these heroes live in the minds of the people. As we all well know that an act by one of ourselves, let it be ever so heroic or grand, gets but little credit is but short lived, seemingly, as far as history and the knowledge of the common people are concerned in the details of such occurrences. Now it would be well to remember the deserving heroes—who so willingly gave their lives that others might live—by organizing clubs of "Rescue Riders" and letting the name become the household word of every family, more especially colored. We feel that the colored voters all over the United States will remember that this is the only name coming from the last war that indicates, that there were colored troops engaged in it, The Democratic Boer celebration in Washington has come to an inglorious if not a dishonest end, The treasurer of the association, which received subscriptions for the benefit of Boer widows and orphans, has published a statement showing that of the sum $1,100 contributed, all but $18 was expended in caring for the Boer envoys at the celebration in Washington City Among other things, the treasurer states that $140 was spent champagne for the envoys, The country may console itself with the reflection that one more defeat will sweep Bryan, free silver, demogagism and fanaticism into one grave. Brethren let us proceed to sweep. The President has acte in regard to China at exactly the right time. His declaration that no war is intended against that country although Americans will be protected to the fullest extent, and that the United States will endeavor to "maintain the territorial and administrative entity" of the empire, joined with the dispatch of additional troops, shows to the world that he proposes to maintain American interests despite greedy self-seekers abtoad and cavilers at home. Col, Bryan, having insisted on putting the 16 to 1 plank in the platform, will let it stay there and decline to brandish it during the campaign. But he would lift it quickly enough if he should win. The Democraes apologize for omitting the civil service question from their platform on the ground that they forgot it entirely. It doesn't matter much, as it would naturally have come down towards the end of the platform, and when a reader comes to the silver plank he naturally throws the paper aside and reads no further. A business directory and fair souvenir, published by editor Benjamin of the Lexington Standard, has reached our office. It is a very attractive booklet, and is replete with information concerning the colored people of Lexington and vicinity. Some of the Southern editors who detest anarchy, depise free silver and believe in expansion, yet find it possi- to support Bryan because some one has told them that the Republicans intend to disfranchise the South.

It commenced on the evening of the 14th of April, and lasted through the next day of the 15th, with religious ceremonies and national rejoicing. The Jews went up to Jerusalem was the capital of the Nation, Jews would go from all parts of the world to this great national celebration to commemorate their wonderful emancipation from Egyptian slavery under the mighty hand of God: which was marked by the destroying angel of that passed over in the night; and the breaking into of the Red sea, which let them out. This was the beginning of the national independence of the Jews It is to them what our Fourth of July is to us. They ce ebrate theirs in a religious way, while we celebrate in a civil way. Ours is only for a big time while theirs is for the purpose remembering God for their deliverance and national beginning. All nations have some kind of annual holiday to mark the manner of their beginning. This is just what the Jewish Passover Festival means. The Jews raised nothing from fields, herds or flocks, but what the first killing, gathering or harvesting was by the form of religious ceremony offered to God, intoken of gratitude for the gift. The Passover came in the month of Barley harvest, therefore the Jews on the 16th of April, would all bring a sheaf of baaley from the fields and wave it before God over a burnt offering as an expression of thanks for the full plenty of the barley crop. The Passover lasted generally a week in religious services, in visiting and rejoicing. Old friends would meet who had not seen each other for years and it served to keep the national and spiritual unity. Coming from all parts of their own country, and wherever they might have colonized in other parts of the then civilized world, would bring to Jerasaleum on Passover days about two million people. Distinguish ed people from the races would come too, as the Jews made a good many Proselytes to their faith. On the 14th of May the following month, the second Passover would take place for all who could not attend the first, such as those who could not attend the first, such as those who had to be at home while the others were away at the first Passover. These usually were servants and slaves and such as might not be able to reach Jerusalem on account of distances, sickness or other causes. Nympers 9-10, 11. Second. Feast of Weeks called Pentecost, because it came fifty days after the Passover and Pente meane thk fiftieth day feast also in that feast the Jews celebrate the giving of the Law on Sinia, which was given fifty days after they left Egypt. This observing the gift of the Law is something the Jews arterward attached on. The Feast as instituted of God was intended as a Harvest or Agricultural feast. It took place on the 6th of June in the time of wheat Harvest. In this God was to be honored with a religious service in which was presented him the first fruits of the wheat haryest, Leviticus 23-17 to 20; and the first fruit of all the ground. Exodus 23-19. Duet. 26-2 Third. Feast of Trumpets. A feast among the Jews, held as a celebration of the new year, on the first and second day of the month, Tisri, the seventh month of the ecclesiastical year, It derived its nsme from the especial use of trumpets in its solemnities. The Jewish time of holding this Festival corresponds with October 1, Numbers 29-1, on the tenth day of the month was the great day of attonement, one day in each year the high Priest would enter into the mast holy place with the blood of an animal, and sprinkle it symbolically, for the sins of the people and by the laying on of the hands of the priests, send a scape goat into the Wilderness to bear off the sins of the people. Leviticus 16 chap. Fourth. On the fifteenth day of the month, (October) was the Feast of Tabernacles, which was an annual festival to celebrate the tent or tabernacle life of the veins in the wilderness. To give expression to the occasion, the Jews would gather at Jerusalem, and build branch booths and in these live an aut door life during the Festival which lasted eight days. This would make it a kind of a play house holiday. It was a very happy occasion. Leviticus 23-34. This festival came at the time of gathering all fruits of wine and ale, grapes and olives. Duet. 16-13. Fifth, Twenty-fifth of December Feast of Dedication, a feast instituted at the liberation of Jerusalem from the Syrians by judas Maccabaeus, about 165 B.

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 odor 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 it that it 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 of Mr Major's advertising, which now amounts to over $5000 a month, throughout the country.

But he's here; But I 'spose they went and bought him, For last week the doctor brought him, Ain't it queer? When I heard the news from Molly, Why, I thought at first 'twas jolly; 'Cause you see I just 'magined I could get him, And our dear mamma would let him Play with me. But when once I looked at him I cried out: "Oh, dear! Is that him? Just that mute?" They said: "Yes, you may kiss him!" Well, I'm sure I'd never miss him, He's a fright. He's so small, it's just amazing, And you'd think he was blazing. He'd so red: And his nose is like a berry, And he's bald as Uncle Jerry On his head. He's no kind of good whatever, And he cries as if he'd never, Never stop. Won't sit up—you can't arrange him; Oh, why doesn't father change him At the shop? Now, we've got to dress and feed him, And we really didn't need him, Little frog! And I can not think why father Should have bought him, when I'd rather Summer Drinks. Since the invention of the soda siphon the best of ice-cold soda can be easily served at home with any desired flavoring. A delicious lemon soda is made of the juice of a fresh lemon squeezed into a large glass with plenty of sugar added. Shake the sugar and lemon juice together after adding a large tablespoonful of shaved ice. Use a tall tin cup that will fit closely inside the glass the lemon juice and sugar are put in, so as to prevent it leaking out when it is shaken. As soon as the lemon juice and sugar are well mixed add enough clear, ice-cold soda water to fill the glass half full; if more is added it will run over. Serve the soda water at once. Make a strawberry or a raspberry syrup of a pint of the clear juice of either berry and a pound of sugar. Boil the syrup three minutes. Add the juice of one lemon, let it boil again and bottle it in cans. Pour out about an eighth of a large, tall tumbler of the syrup, two tablespoonfuls of rich, ice-cold cream and fill the tumbler half full of soda from a drilled syphon. Ginger beer is a favorite beverage for the haying field. This should be made at night and allowed to stand over night to rise, and it should then be bottled. Take three-quarters of a pound of root ginger to make the beer. Dried ginger will do if green ginger can not be had. Clean and bruise it and pour two gallons of water over it. Let it boil slowly for one hour. After this add 10 gallons of cold water, 10 pounds of sugar, the juice of a dozen lemons and the grated peel of eight. Add also half a pound of honey and three pints of strong yeast. It is easy to make this beer with a pint of the perpetual yeast if one-third the rule is prepared. This will make four gallons of the beer, all that a small family would likely want to put up and bottle at a time. After the ingredients are thoroughly mixed let the beer rise over night, as directed previously, and bottle it in the morning in stone bottles if you have them, tying down the cork, or use bottles with patent stoppers, which save a great deal of trouble. This beer is excellent in three or four days and will keep a long time, even two months in a cold cellar, where it should be set as soon as it is bottled. We have been asked to repeat the rule for old Connecticut root beer. Take one portion of wintergreen leaves and stems, or of sweet yellow birch bark, or half of each, as you please; then take half the same quantity of tender young spruce twigs and one-quarter of prince's pine. Sometimes a little sweet Cicily root or a few french leaves were thrown in, but neither are necessary. Sometimes about as much benzoin shrub twigs as there was prince's pine was added, more because of its fragrance than for any superiority it gave the root beer. Cover the twigs and other ingredients selected with an abundance of water and let them simmer slowly for an hour, or even longer. A pound of sugar and half a pint of yeast was added to every gallon of the herb decoction off. The beer should stand over night to rise, and as soon as it has risen should be bottled and set away for several days in a cool cellar.—New York Tribune. Home Ideas. Unbleached cauton flannel makes good dish cloths. A very hot iron should never be used for flannels or woolens. The great majority of small fresh seed fruits are laxative. Flannel should be ironed as little as possible, with a moderately hot iron. The cost of maintaining a lamp is one-eighth that of any other luminant. Don't think water should be added to spinach to cook it. It is a mistake. Don't fail to add a drop or two of vanilla flavoring to a pot of chocolate. It is a great improvement. Mattress Covers. Covers for the mattress, which most houscekeepers now consider an essential part of the furnishings of every bed, are made of strong white muslin with a flap to button over at the foot. It is better not to use the unbleached muslin since it is apt to give a yellow tinge to the most snow white linen. These covers are a great protection to the mattress, but they require frequent washing, and after being exposed to the dust and dirt all summer long this is one of the first things which needs attention when putting a house in order. The mattresses themselves should they require making over can be sent to the upholsterer, who can generally be prevailed upon to return them the same day. Many ladies prefer to employ a visiting upholsterer to do this work under their direct supervision, but it requires a room to be given over to the purpose, which is not always convenient. Stylish Linens. Linens of all tins and weights are extremely fashionable, and some of the prettiest are made of pure linen towelning. These, of course, call for rather narrow skirt gores, but every seam is an excuse for stitching or strapping of some sort. Getting linen of this quality gives you a coarse, heavy effect in a material which is really cool and light and laundries beautifully. The oftener it is washed the prettier it becomes. Linen duck is well liked, too, but is so much stiffer and does not have the really swell look of pure linen crash. Go to the department where they have table linens, rather than to the dress goods counter, if you want the nicest and most correct materials for your cool, dainty runabout dresses this summer. Both linens and linen ducks are often attached in colors, red, blue, green, yellow and brown, all being seen in this way. The difficulty is in getting silks or linen threads which are absolutely fast in color. Tables and Shelves Well scoured tables of hard, white wood, like the floors, are a delight to the eye, but to keep them in proper condition entails too much hard work. Painted and varnished shelves look well and are less care. Enamel oilcloth coverings, however, look well and the work of taking care of them is very light. When tacked on with brass-headed tacks they add very much to the neat appearance of kitchen and pantry. Heat destroys the enamel, and therefore hot dishes should not be placed directly on the cloth, but small stands, which come for the purpose, used to protect the cover. Blue Denim Skirt. Blue denim for skirts is having a vogue. It is more serviceable than either duck or linen and can be made up to better advantage without a lining, as it is so heavy that its weight gives a graceful sweep. Much better denim is found in the art departments of the stores than at the regular linen counters. Serving Fruits Grapes are daintier served in a flat, open basket, decorated with their own foliage. Cherries are palatable raw, but without doubt they are more digestible when cooked. Peaches are more attractive when served in their own skins. Serve just at the right temperature, not warm, but still not overchilled. This makes all fruits sour. Watermelons and cantaloupes are always best served simply chilled—not cold enough to be unpalatable and tasteless, but with no tinge of warmth. Plums, if served raw, may be put in a flat dish or basket garnished with greens and passed just as one would serve peaches. They should be peeled before eating. Pears and apples may be served in the same way. Raspberries and blackberries do not, as a rule, require washing. They must be handled carefully in looking them over; being soft they are easily bruised. Arrange the raspberries on a flat glass dish, sort of tossing them up into a pyramid. One may sprinkle over a small amount of currant juice and serve them with powdered sugar. Neckwear. The strips of lace and mull are finding their way into the thinnest stocks, just a plain strip to go around the neck with long ends to tie in front. Mull ties are made now as the ribbon ones were earlier in the season, the straight piece which goes around the neck having in the center four or five heavy cords to give it body, the ends being of the plain mull and long enough to cross in the back and tie in front. They and the stocks are frequently edged with lace. Simple little waist ties are made of silk about the width of an ordinary soft silk necktie pointed at the ends and simply hemmed around the edges on the machine. They are long enough to pass around the waist and tie in a small bow with rather long ends. Children at Meals. The table is the place to teach children self-control, thoughtfulness for others, the petty sacrifices that Emerson says make us good manners. The little three-year-old who is required to wait patiently her turn on the pain of being lifted down, is learning a valuable lesson, and the comfort of the whole family is enhanced incidentally while it is taught. To make this still more effective, each child—particularly the boys—should have some part in the serving to do, helping the butter, pouring the water or similar tasks. In many households this is left entirely to the girls. Why should the boys, who need it so much more, be exempt from this discipline? Two Ice Creams. Three quarts of perfect, ripe berries; sprinkle with one pound of sugar and let stand two hours; then strain through a coarse sleeve or cheesecloth. Heat one quart of cream with a pound of sugar until it is thoroughly dissolved, and when cool add another quart of cream. Freeze according to directions, adding the fruit juice when the cream is half frozen, and if desired, one cup of the whole berries. This can be made without scalding the milk or cream by mashing a quart of berries; add one pound of sugar; beat thoroughly into one quart of good fresh cream and freeze. Never cook the fruit juices with the cream. Cocanut ice cream and coconut water ice are two dessert dishes that are liked as a change from the regulation list and the former is made thus: Put six ounces of grated coconut in a saucepan with a quart of milk and cook over a slow fire until the coconut is soft and all the flavor extracted; strain the milk off and squeeze the pulp dry; set the milk aside to cool; beat three eggs and the grated rind of one lemon and put with the milk in a saucepan over the fire; cook slowly until it begins to thicken, strain and cool; then add the juice of one lemon, one and one-half cups of sugar and a pint of cream; freeze. MUNCIE MAN SPEAKS UP. Accounting for the Way in Which Certain Citizens Have Behaved. A well-known clerk in one of the departments here, on being closely questioned, confessed at length that his home was in Muncie, Ind., but added: "Muncie has gained a reputation which it does not deserve. Even two or three swallows do not make a summer, and all Muncie's population are not ladrones. In fact, this little outburst in Havana may be a sort of indication of a desire for retribution on the part of some of the Muncie people for an affair which happened a few years ago. Muncie, in a spurt of ambition, made bids for factories to come there. Among those which came was an enameling concern from Columbus, which is not only the capital of Ohio, but the home of John Lentz and the seat of the penitentiary. A large share of the laborers in the factory were convicts, and many of these remained in it after they were released from jail. So it happened that we imported with our factory a gang of the worst thieves in the State of Ohio. They had been pretty well known to the Columbus police and were carefully watched there, but when they reached our rural region we welcomed them as honest men. Well, they robbed the town of everything they could carry off. Some borrowed from all the enterprising and loyal citizens they met, but most of them simply pilfered right and left. The result was that the town fell into a panic of fear, which lasted until the whole gang were driven out and the works closed. So I have thought that these recent developments in Cuba have perhaps indicated a desire on the part of certain of our citizens to get even with the rest of the world."—Washington Special in New York Post. Mines That Burn For Years. A number of good-sized mines are now on fire in the United States, and have been for years. The Vulcan mine on the Green River, opposite Newcastle, in Colorado, has been on fire since the great explosion several years ago, when about eighty persons lost their lives. All efforts to quench it have proved fruitless. In Butte there is a mine which has been afire since 1884. It has been treated with carbonic acid gas generated on a large scale, quicklime and acids, and all the strifing devices that genius and experience could devise, but so far without effect. In Pennsylvania there are steadily steadily burning mines, and in one place where the outlet of natural gas is very great the spectacle it affords is of surpassing interest. For miles around a great tower of fire may be seen, day and night, and the dense black smoke which it gives off settles upon the surrounding country. How a mine gets fire is easily explained, even though the greatest precautions are taken to prevent it. Coal seems to exude a gas, varying in quantity according to the pressure and the quality of the deposit, which gas, when mixed with air in certain proportions, is about as explosive as gunpowder.—New York Post. Genius Among Colored Men Genius Among Colored Men. It apears William Dean Howells has come to occupy a position of patron saint of the negro in his artistic endeavors, and to be, as it were, a "discoverer" of the colored man struggling toward artistic achievement, as was Dr. Robertson Nicole, of the "kail yard" novelist some years ago. He has recently found much to commend in Charles W. Chestnut, the author of "The Wife of His Youth," and "The Conjure Woman,' and speaking of Mr. Chestnut and of the "colored people" who are almost or quite as white as the palest Caucasian (and Mr. Chestnut is one of these), he has recently said: "They need not be ashamed of the race from which they have sprung and whose shame they share, for in many of the arts it has already shown, during a single generation of freedom, gifts which slavery apparently only obscured. With Mr. Booker Washington, the first American orator of our time, fresh upon the time of Frederick Douglass, and with Mr. Dunbar among the truest of our poets; with Mr. Lewis, a black American out of the only three Americans from whom the French Government ever bought a picture, Mr. Chestnut may well be willing to own his color."—New Orleans Picayune. Getting the Right Name "I don't see," he said thoughtfully, as he looked over the bill for his daughter's tuition, "why they call it a finishing school." "What would you call it?" demanded his wife. "A preparatory school," he replied "As near as I have been able to find out its aim is to prepare a young woman to enter into a social career and incidentally to assume the duties of wifehood. It's all preparatory. I can't see that it finishes——" Here he paused and gradually the light of a new understanding came into his eyes. "Ah, yes. I have it now," he said at last. "It finishes her father's bank account."—Chicago Post. AGRICULTURE. NATURE'S MELODY. All things are wrought of melody, Unheard, yet full of speaking spells; Within the rock, within the tree, A soul of music dwells. A mute symphonic sense that thrills The silent frame of mortal things; Its heart is in the ancient hills, And in each flower sings. To harmony all growth is set, Each seed is but a music note, From which each plant, each violet, Evolves its purple note. Compact of melody, the rose Woos the soft wind with strain on strain Of crimson; and the lily blows Its white bars to the rain. The trees are peanuts; and the grass One long, green fugue, beneath the sun; Song is their life, and all shall pass, Shall cease, when song is done. —Madison Cawlein, in Truth. BUCKWHEAT. A Midsummer Crop That Will Bring Profit and Keep Down Weeds. All varieties of buckwheat flourish best on rather light soils without fresh manure. If the soil is too rich and the season favorable to its growth, it is apt to lodge before it is well filled, and is very difficult to harvest. It is generally sown on the poorest land on the farm, not because the poorest land will produce the best crops, but because land which will yield a tolerably good crop of buckwheat may be too poor to produce a paying crop of any other kind of grain. Buckwheat will grow on poor land, with more careless cultivation than any other grain, but it will do better on better land, and respond quickly to more generous treatment. The writer has had the best success, one year with another, when he sowed buckwheat on a moderately fertile soil that had not lately been manured. Buckwheat contains a larger proportion of bran than wheat, and the flour contains a smaller proportion of aluminoids, a larger proportion of starch and a rather larger proportion of oil. It is a popular belief, founded on this chemical reason, that buckwheat is less strengthening but more fattening for man or beast than wheat. There is a widespread belief that when buckwheat cakes are used as the principal article of food they produce a poisonous principle in the blood, which manifests itself in eruptions on the skin, sometimes called the "buckwheat itch," and because of this tendency of buckwheat when eaten to excess some doctors condemn it as unfit for human food. It is not likely that their condensation will ever be heeded by people who have become accustomed to eating warm buckwheat cakes well buttered and sweetened with honey or maple syrup, and who find no bad effects from their use. Buckwheat is a good feed for poultry and pigs. Its fattening principle is probably not equal to corn, weight for weight, but my father fattened his hogs more than once on ground buckwheat and they seemed to gain as fast as if fed on corn. I have often fed it to hogs, mixed with corn and other ground grain, with good results. The lard, however, like the lard of hogs fattened on beechnuts, was soft like oil after being "tried out" and remained in nearly a liquid state except during very cold weather. Ground buckwheat and buckwheat bran are an excellent feed for making cows give a large quantity of milk, and mixed with about one-fourth their weight of cornmeal will make milk of very good quality. The belief is quite general among poultry raisers that a proper proportion of buckwheat for hen food is necessary for the greatest production of eggs. Less buckwheat is raised in the United States than of any of the other cereals, and the increase of production has not kept pace with the increase of population nor with the increased production of other grain. New York and Pennsylvania have been the leading States in the production of buckwheat for fifty years past, in 1879 producing 63 per cent. of the United States crop. Relatively a larger proportion of buckwheat grows at higher altitudes than of either of the other grains, and a larger proportion grows with a lower temperature than any other grain except rye. It seems naturally to belong to the cooler and rougher regions with billides and thin soils. The time for sowing buckwheat extends from the month of May to the middle of August. The usual time in northern Pennsylvania is the latter part of June and first of July. The ground is prepared by plowing and harrowing the same as for wheat and rye, and should be prepared as well, though buckwheat will endure lumps and clods better than any other grain. The yield is more uncertain than any of our other cereals. While frequently falling as low as 5 bushels it sometimes rises above 30 and even to 40 and 50 bushels per acre. The average yield in the United States according to the last census was not quite $14\%$ bushels per acre. The largest yield ever reported in this country (Bradford), which produces more than any other county in the United States, was 44 bushels, machine measure—equal to about 50 bushels struck measure. The seed is usually sown broadcast and from three to five pecks per acre. It does not tiller like wheat and rye, a kernel-throwing up only one stalk, but it branches like an apple tree when thinly sown. It is especially liable to injury from frost coming before it is ripe. The later it can be sown, however, and get ripe before frost comes the better will be the yield. As it is greatly injured by a hot sun and dry weather at the time the kernels are forming, some farmers sow late, preferring to risk an early frost to a scorching sun. It is cut with either a cradle or machine, set up in small conical bunches, usually without binding, as the intertwining of the branches will hold it together well enough for handling, but sometimes a small band is twisted around the top of the bunch. The most popular variety is the Silver Hull or gray. A few years ago the Japan was introduced. The kernels are black and larger than any of the other varieties, and it was hoped that it would prove to be a valuable acquisition, but it has not met with the favor expected, and most farmers have abandoned it. It does not branch so much as the other varieties and the kernels are chiefly found on the top of the main stalk. Buckwheat blossoms are very sweet and full of honey and many farmers who keep bees raise a field of it, not so much for the grain as to supply forage for the industrious little workers. In Georgia and Tennessee it is common to sow buckwheat fields solely for bed pastures, and never harvest the grain at all. Sheep will eat a little buckwheat straw, but it is not considered of much value for forage, and is too often left to rot down in the field where threshed.—J. W. Ingham, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, in Ohio Farmer. Hay Harvest Points. Plenty of help and tools help to lighten hard work in haying and harvesting, says the American Agriculturalist. An extra man at just the right time for one or two hours may mean the saving of one or two loads of valuable hay. With a good stand of grass it does not take long to cut down a few loads, but with threatening weather it is sometimes quite a task to secure the hay in good shape. All tools should be thoroughly overhauled and put in good condition before the season starts. New sections and rivets for the mowing machine, and some extra guards should be obtained, as well as a few bolts of various sizes, so as to make as little delay as possible in the case of a breakdown. The guards should be sharpened as well as the knives, especially if there is any thick, fine grass to be cut. On small farms two wagons are usually enough to handle the hay. The forks should also be cleaned up and the tines sharpened. Start the mowing machine as early in the season as possible, as early cut hay is worth a good deal more for feeding. Do 'not cut any grass while wet with dew or rain, for it will dry much quicker when standing than after being cut. The mower should be started as early in the morning as the grass is dry and run for a few hours. Then start the tedder and in the middle of the afternoon rake in windrows and put into high, small bunches toward night. Open these out the next morning so that the bottom will be toward the sun, and as soon as fairly dry begin to draw to the stack or barn. Clover and oat hay will need sometimes two or three days of good weather in which to cure. On some of the Western ranches very little hay is drawn on wagons. It is cut and cured in the usual way and the horses are hitched to each end of a big sweep and the hay drawn to the stack. In Pennsylvania and Maryland, where the farms are often long and narrow, or in sections where large farms exist, it is customary to use four horses for a team with a hay rigging twenty feet long, but on small farms and in hilly countries a rigging twelve or fourteen feet long is large enough. The Care of Lambs. Lambs seldom are attacked by cholera before they are ten days old. Sometimes they are attacked when only eight days old. When they are old enough to begin to nibble grass they should be watched for symptoms of cholera, for there seems to be a tendency to the disease at that time. This tendency remains until the lambs are old enough to chew their cuds properly. After that point they are safe. When the cholera signs appear a simple remedy may be prepared by mixing a pound of common salt with a pound of baking soda, stirring the mixture thoroughly. This quantity will provide one dose for each member of a flock of from forty to fifty ewes. Dose the alling lambs with this two days in succession, skip the third day, and, if the signs of the trouble still show, dose again on the fourth day. By that time the lambs will have undergone the stomach change that will permit them to graze without further trouble. When a lamb is first troubled give it a lump of soda as large as a corn kernel with a drop of peppermint essence and eight or ten drops of brandy. Continue this until improvement takes place. All these substances are cleansing, germicidal and fitted to correct the stomach conditions that cause the illness of the lambs. The grinding of corncobs in meal for little lambs is not to be commended. The cob is largely indigestible, and, therefore, is liable to prove an irritant to the intestines. Furthermore, the part of the cob which the lambs can digest supplies matter not needed by the young animal. Let the lambs grind their own oats and corn. A good ration for lambs is made of oats, corn and wheat bran, mixed in equal parts. This mixture, with clover hay or green grass, will quickly develop lambs intended for mutton, and it will pay well. Lambs, to be kept free from parasites, should not be allowed to follow old sheep upon pastures. Indeed, it is well to keep the young lambs entirely away from the infested old sheep if possible—New York Farmer. Didn't See Him. "He says he was right in the social swim all season."

State Notes. The Canning Industry. Tipton special to Chicago Record: The Indiana pea crop is larger this season than for many years, and in Indiana the raising of peas is quite an important industry. Hundreds of acres of land in this and other counties is devoted to the culture of peas, year after year, and the profit is such that the industry is increasing each year. In the vicinity of Tipton alone there are over 650 acres in peas, and factories located in Tipton county are daily turning out 150,000 quart cans of 'French' peas. These factories are giving employment to more than 200 people, and in addition provide the farmers with a good market for their product. Every acre planted in peas is good for a net profit of from $20 to $35, and the industry in this county alone this year is good for $200,000, which is much more than will be the revenue from the county's wheat crop. Indiana now stands second in the list of States as a canning center, and furnishes 25 per cent. of the canned goods put up annually in the United States. Maryland stands first, having a slight marrow over Indiana, and New Jersey third. The canning industry started in Indiana in anything like a big way about six years ago. It was at first confined almost entirely to tomatoes. Beans were then added. Then came corn, and then a combination of the two, and a combination of pork and beans. The list runs the range at present and even as far as condensed milk. Peas are the latest addition. There canned goods are distributed to all parts of the world. One firm at Indiana has given the industry a great impetus and at present sells Indiana canned goods for the use of almost every army in the world. Statistics of a few years ago showed that Indiana produced 1,100,000 cans of tomatoes and the total output of the nation was 4,000,000 cans. As an indication of the growth of the use of canned goods Indiana turned out 3,000,000 cans last year and the aggregate for the nation was 9,000,000. Indiana and Kentucky were the first States to take up with the now popular tomato. It was along the banks of the Ohio that the tomato had its domestic "birth." It was once thought that the tomato was a rank poison, a disturber of the mind and a sure route to the insane hospital. New Albany special: John House, the magistrate who has married more couples than perhaps any man in the world is again restored to health, but the operation he has had to undergo at the hospital has left him a cripple for life. Four weeks ago he was taken to the hospital and the surgeons informed him that his leg would have to be amputated or he would not recover. The leg was taken off and though on crutches he is again at his desk and ready for business. For a great many years Jeffersonville has been the Gretna Green for eloping couples from across the Ohio river and from many other places. The principal duty of the justicees of the peace there are to offate at weddings. 'Squire House has had by far the widest reputation and has married couples from all parts of the world. During his life as a magistrate 'Squire House has united for better or worse more than 5,000 persons. These include representations of every scale of social life from the humble mountainer of Kentucky to the sons and daughters of millionaires, Congressmen, Senators, Governors, ministers and celebrities. Many of these ceremonies have been performed under unusually romantic circumstances. As an instance, a couple recently visited him and requested that they be married at midnight and the shadows of the great bridge that spans the Ohio from Jeffersonville to Louisville; another couple wanted to be married in a carriage that was standing in front of the magistrate's door, and others were married on the ferryboat. The magistrate has always been accommodating and has compiled with the requests of his patrons, no matter how unusual or how absurd they may have been. Salem special: William Hazard, the dishonored son of Sir Francis Hazard, lives a reuse in this city. He was dishonored because he married his mothers waiting maid, and came to America. Hazard is a short, stocky, white-bearded man of C, and lives in a small brick house at the edge of town. There is no carpet on the floor, and posters from illustrated editions of newspapers take the place of wall paper. On a small cook stove the old man prepares his fugal meals. As a young man, Hazard gave up the law and entered the English army as an officer, and took part in the Sepoy contest and in the Crimean war. When he married and came to America, in 1885, he intended to enter the United States army. The bounty scalpers of New York stripped him of his money, and left him and his wife penniless. Finally, in despair, they drifted to Salem, where his wife obtained a position in a hotel, and Hazard became a comm laborer. On account of his drinking, his wife finally left him, and, with her two sons, went to Wisconsin, where they are now living. The two boys entered the volunteer army and fought before Santiago. Hazard has quit drinking and spends most of his time at home. He is well educated and speaks several languages. An "Indiana Man" Abroad.

It is said that Jiminez owed his success largely to the fertility of Wright's brain, which was the directing power in establishing Jiminez as President. Wright was a first Heutenian in the recruiting service prior to the Cuban war and deputy secretary of state under W. D. Owen. Dublin special: D. E. Mullen & Co., Dublin, is one of the most remarkable firms in existence. Mullen drives a hack from Dublin to Cambridge City, and says the Lord is the other member of the firm. He considers the partnership seriously, and, although his income is small, he conducts his business with a great deal of red tape, keeping a ledger which he balances frequently, religiously devoting one-tenth of his income to his "partner." Will Die From Shock. Kokomo special: Mrs. Joseph Shields, 65, weighing 300 pounds, broke through the floor of a closet. Tuesday night, and will die from the shock. The closet was over what had been the old county jail well, and was 30 feet deep. It took eight men to pull her out. A Priest's Glass Factory Muncie special: The Rev. Father Dhe, priest and manufacturer of Hartford City, was here Wednesday in the interest of a prescription bottle glass plant which he will construct at Hartford City. The contract for the extensive buildings was let Wednesday. The Rev. Father Dhe denounces the press reports to the effect that he is out of the manufacturing business. The plant will be put in operation as soon as completed and will furnish employment to several hundred people. Father Dhe, who is President of the company, claims that the works will furnish work to most of his Hartford City parishioners. He says that the manufacturing business with him has been a great success financially and a source of great pleasure in furnishing work to men. Besides this, he has large interests in plants in Eaton and Montpelier. He is probably the only priest of the Roman Catholic Church so extensively interested in the manufacturing business in connection with his parochial work. Fort Wayne special: A severe electrical storm passed over the city Monday lasting for five hours. Much damage was done to property, several houses being struck by lightning, while the heavy rain flooded streets and cellars. One man, James Olive, was shocked by lightning and may not recover. Lebanon special: Willoughby Lewis, a lumber dealer, assaulted and seriously injured Judge J. L. Pierce, a prominent attorney, Saturday night. Pierce was Mrs. Lewis' lawyer in divorce proceedings and incurred Lewis' enmity. Pierce was badly beaten about the head, and may lose one eye. Lewis was driven off Pierce's prostrate form at the point of a revolver in the hands of John Wurtzier, in whose meat market the affray occurred. Columbus special: Ed Mooney and family were pleasure driving. Sunday evening, when their horse scared at a dog and ran away, throwing all violently to the ground.

Muncie special: Cyrus, the 4-year-old son of Homer Laughlin, a glass worker, was burned to death Monday evening in the rear of his home, where some children of the neighborhood were playing at "camping out." The contents of a straw tick had been emptied in the place and Cyrus alone went into the building and is believed to have lighted a match and the straw caught fire. The door became locked and he could not escape, his cries bringing help too late.

Kennedy, manager of Armour & Co.'s Exhibit at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition at Omaha, Neb., writes the following of Peruna, as a cure for that common phase of summer catarrh, known as indigestion. Miss Kennedy says: [Image of a woman with a headband, wearing a dark dress with a decorative border.] "I found the continual change of diet incidental to eight years' traveling completely upset my digestive system. In consulting several physicians they decided I suffered with catarrh of the stomach. "Their prescriptions did not seem to help me any, so, reading of the remarkable cures effected by the use of Peruna, I decided to try it, and soon found myself well repaid. "I have now used Peruna for about three months and feel completely rejuvenated. I believe I am permanently cured, and do not hesitate to give unstinted praise to your great remedy, Peruna." The causes of summer catarrh are first, chronic catarrh; second, derangements of the stomach and liver; third, impure blood. Such being the case anyone who knows anything whatever about the operations of Peruna can understand why this remedy is a permanent cure for summer catarrh. It eradicates chronic catarrh from the system, invigorates the stomach and liver, cleanses the blood of all impurities, and therefore permanently cures by removing the cause, a host of maladies peculiar to hot weather. The cause being removed the symptoms disappear of themselves. "Summer Catarrh" sent free to any address by The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. New Postoffice Swindle. A device for swindling the postoffice has just been discovered at Brussels. It consists in pasting a piece of thin transparent paper over postage stamps after these have been affixed to the letters. The transparent paper receives the postmark. When the letter reaches its destination the transparent paper is removed by damping, and there is the stamp unused and ready for further employment. The practice has been extensive with respect to stamps of high value. Why Wigwag Rejoiced. Mr. Wigwag—Did the new carpet arrive all right? Mrs. Wigwag—Yes; it came intact. Mr. Wigwag—Hooray! Hip Hip!

If your hair is short and harsh and kinky; if your scalp is covered with germs and dandruff, or itch, or eczema, it is doubtless your fault alone.
