The National Afro-American Press Association convened at Bethel church, Indianapolis, Ind., Monday, August 27, President Cyrus Field Adams in the chair. After prayer by Rev. J. W. Carr of the Baptist church the Association proceeded with a discussion of the "The Afro-American in Journalism," led by T. Thomas Fortune of the New York Age, and participated in by R. R. Wright, W. M. Lewis, W. H. A. Moore. At the afternoon session, "A Solution of the Race Problem in Jamaica" was discussed by Cyrus Field Adams, W. H. Steward, R. B. Bagly, Register of the Treasury Lyon, Rev R. F. Hurley, Rev C. W. Newton, Geo. L. Knox, A. L. Manley, Jesse Lawson. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President -Cyrus Field Adams, The Appeal, Chicago, Ill. Vice President—Geo. L. Knox, the Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind. Treasurer—W. H. Steward, American Baptist, Louisville, Ky. Secretary—A. L. Manley, The Record, Washington, D. C. ord, Washington, D.C. The night session was opened by prayer by Rev. C. W. Newton, D. D. Then the Freeman Quartette sang several beautiful selections. Mrs. Thomas Fox read a paper on "Women in Journalism." Cyrus Field Adams told of "Some Pioneers of Afro-American Journalism." T. Thomas Fortune delivered an address on "A Syndicated News Service, Our Greatest Need." The following resolutions were adopted: The press that faithfully champions the cause of the people should always have the full sympathy and loyal support of the people. This support must be measured by the ability of the people to do, but when the press is faithful, in season and out of season, in defending the race against assaults, in commending what is good and giving timely warning against harmful and injurious words and acts, it should find favor with the people. We believe the tendency to discriminate against our people in the field of employment, in public accommodations, and our recognition in the shaping of policy that shall govern the country of which we are a helpful factor, is on the increase; and, believing a public sentiment to be the main weapon upon which we must depend for a reversal of existing conditions, we believe the Afro-American press was instituted for no other purpose and serves no other aim than the elevation., morally and influentially, of the Afro-American people. We view with grave apprehension the apathy and indifference manifest to a lamentable degree upon the part of many whom the press labors to serve, and see in that indifference the inevitable failure of the plans and aims of our papers which are the best champions of the rights of the people. The papers owe due allegiance to the interest of the people, and the people owe more generous support and patronage to such papers. One of the greatest needs of the press is an improvement in the business management of our papers, so that there will be substantial returns for the labor experienced and the capital invested. There can be no improvement in this respect as long as the subscription lists and advertising contracts are neglected and collections made a secondary consideration. We urge that more care be given to this part of newspaper management with the view of making the business management equal to the editorial management. The Appeal. WORDS OF PRAISE The quarterly meeting at Bedford, Iowa. Sept. 2, closed with interest. Rev. T W. Johnson is now en route to the annual conference, which meets in Minneapolis, Minn. The Rev. Johnson has labored successfully as a christian gentleman. The young people will give a pink tea contest in Clarinda for his benefit; the year ends with great credit. AFRO-AMERICAN COUNCIL.

Tillman of South Carolina, one of the political friends and advisers of William Jennings Bryan, and hence a Democrat of national importance, has done and said more to injure the material prosperity of the South, than any man of that section, living or dead. Tillman is a nearer approach to the infamous Titus Oates for villainy and mendacity and low cunning than any other living Democrat in the South and therefore is a dangerously bad man to sustain such intimate personal and political relations with the Democratic candidate for the presidency who does not now. (Although he is familiar with the code of political ethics which govern and control the utterances and the acts of this man) repudiate them as being out of harmony with the high moral political code to which he has consecrated his life and his talents as an elocutionist, and poser. The Spanish proverb "Tell me the company you keep and I'll tell you who you are" establishes the identity of William Jennings Bryan's democracy, at the following citations from numerous speeches of his friend Tillman, made in open Senate, will attest. On Feb. 26th, 1900, he said: "South Carolina has disfrachised all of the colored race that it could under the XIII, XIV and XV amendments. We have done our level best; we have scratched our heads to find how we could eliminate the last one of them." This would seem to indicate that the South Carolina Democrats are A 1 Imperialists, and that "Government by consent" is no part of their political creed. On page 2263, of the Record, Mr. Tillman is quated as saying "We have a governing race, just as you would have in Massachusetts if you had 750,000 Negroes and only 500,000 whites. And on page 2349: "We had 125,000 Negroes of voting age and 100,000 whites." and on page 2349: "We stuffed ballot boxes. We shot them. We are not ashamed of it, and again on same page: "We called a constitutional convention and we eliminated as I said all of the colored people whom we could." On page 2261 of the Record, he sayed: We have 114,000 registered voters" and on the following page: "I say 97 per cent of the white vote is Democratic." This is the most excellent showing and must be very gratifying to Mr. Bryan in that, by it he is assured of the solid Democratic vote of the Palmetto state, and that it will not be necessary for him to stir up the "pure minds" of the faithful in that or any other Southern state, who are even now ready and able to furnish him with the figures to prove the solidarity of the Southern Democratic vote. Perhaps Mr. Bryan does not wish to offend his Southern friends and admirers by objecting to their methods of procedure in piling up Democratic majorities in the manner described by his friend Tillman. But an honest man would scorn to profit by such bare faced fraud as that to which the unspeakable Tillman confesses with malicious and brazen effrontery. A NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Booker T. Washington Its President. It was the Greatest Gathering of Substantial, Reliable Honest Business Men ever held in the World. In response to a call issued by Booker T. Washington for a meeting of colored business to be held in the old historic Boston Aug. 23rd. More then 200 delegates from nearly every State in the Union assembled in Parker Memorial Hall, Boston, Thursday morning August 23rd. They came from Maine to Nebraska and from Illinois to Florida, representing every phase of industrial and commercial life They were a neat, well-dressed dignified manly set of men, each bearing the air of prosperity and independence possessed by the man who has surmounted obstacles and mastered adverse circumstances. These men have organized themselves into a permanent body known as the National Negro Business League. The committee respectfully recommends as follows: Resolved. That this convention enter into a permanent organization as a National Association, and that the officers of this convention, namely: For President, Booker T. Washington of Alabama. Vice President, Giles B. Jackson, of Virginia. Second Vice-President, Mrs. Alberta Moore Smith of Illinois. For Treasurer, Gilbert C. Harris of Massachusetts. For Secretary, Edward E. Cooper of District of Columbia. Compiler, E. A. Johnson of North Carolina. From the time the gavel fell Thursday morning at 10. o'clock and until 11. o'clock Friday evening every moment of the four intervening sessions were profitably used There were no points-of-order squabbles, no parliamentary wrangles, no disgruntled individuals to air there grievances, no Simple Simons with their silly sayings and most of all, no whinning or lugubrious complaints. Every individual who spoke was brim full of business and therefore his remarks were interesting, energizing and inspiring. Though the programme was a long and varried one, never did interest wane. The closest attention was given each speaker and boundless enthusiasm was the order of the day. The following was arranged and carried out to the letter with the exception of one or two slight changes, and the substitution of the name of Mr, R. C. N. Simmons for that of Mr W. C. Coleman, Concord, N. C., who was detained because of illness. August 23,10 A.M. Organization. Meeting called to order by Dr. Samuel B. Courtney, Chairman of Local Committee. Devotions. Prayer by Rev.

His paper was on "Negro Enterprise at the South" and a more interesting discussion of the subject we have ever heard. Mr. Hilyer was appointed by the U. S. Government to collect data concerning the business standing of the Southern Negro for the Paris Exposition, and his investigation brought out the following facts: For the year 1890: Number of Negroes in business, 20,020, among whom were agents and collectors, 1,172; boarding house keepers, 2,323; drugists, 139; grocers 1,833; hotel keepers, 429; hucksters, 2,516; bank officials and insurance agents 213; undertakers, 231; builders and contractors, 154; photographers, 596; journalists and publishers, 154; manufacturers, 461; besides barbers numbering, 17,480, 5,000 of whom were proprietors; butchers, 2,510 blacksmiths, 10,762; watch and clock makers, 61, and more than 700 of these business had been established more than 30 years. There was a great demonstration when he said that the Negroes had invested in business in 1890 $8,784,637. The next significant report was by Glies B. Jackson, Esq., of Richmond, Va., who told that the Negroes in Richmond, Va., owned real estate there to the amount of $170,000 besides the $55,000 worth to the credit of the True Reformers, and during the panic of 1893 the Bank of True Reformers made a loan of $100,000 to the Shool Board of Richmond to pay the teachers, after the board had failed to secure that amount from any of the other banks in the city. This news surprised ninety --- per cent of the delegates and all of Boston. The Idea of a Negro bank being established on such a solid basis and conducted on such business principles as to be able to lend white people money at a time when white people could not lend it to each other was a revelation. That the white people in Boston should hear this alone is worth all the effort put forth to have the convention. The race wants some reputation along monetary lines and this is the way to establish it. The paper read by Mrs. A. A. Casneau of Boston on Dressmaking was a literary treat. Mrs. Casneau is one of the most artistic dressmakers in Boston and has published a book on the subject of which has received high commendation from critical minds. Of course it is to be expected the Mr. William Lord Garrison, the son of the great Abolitionist, would hit the nail on the head when speaking on the Negro question, and he always does.—Afro-American. The County Treasurer Appoints a Colored Mr. John McKay, our newly elected Treasurer, has appointed John L. Thompson as one of his clerks in the Treasurer's office. Thompson commenced work this week. This is the first instance in the history of Polk county where a colored man has been appointed to a clerical place in the county office. Mr. McKay deserves much credit for his honesty, fairness and loyalty to the colored race. Certainly the colored people of Polk county will support and appreciate our Treasurer's act. It is the opening wedge for the other offices to deal fair by their colored friends. The following are the names of people going to Minneapolis on the excursion, September 15th.

Tomkins Avenue Congregational church of Brooklyn raised over $27,000 for missions during the year. The death roll in the Congregational ministry in Great Britain was unusually heavy during the year 1899. A congress of the history of religions will be held at Paris, France during the first part of September next year. The receipts of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, for the year make a total of $38,000, of which $17,000 is from pew rents. The annual cornell of the South African churches was held at Graaf Reinet, and owing to the preoccupations of the war, only thirty-eight delegates attended. Since his resignation from the Church of the Pilgrims relief from care has conducted to a marked improvement in the health of the venerable Dr. R. S. Storra. AS TRUE AS GOSPEL. There is always compensation. Our angels go out that our archangels may come in. Unhappy is the man for whom his own mother has not made all other mothers venerable. It is poor wit who lives by borrowing the words, decisions, mein, inventions and actions of others. What an absurd thing it is to pass over the valuable parts of a man, and fix our attentions on his infirmities. Virtue will catch as well as vice by contact; and the public stock of honest, manly principle will daily accumulate. A greater value should be set on having received instructive and useful lessons than of possessing great store of wealth; for the latter is transitory good, the former is durable. There is scarcely a generalization for one sex which does not apply equally to the other, so perfectly alike in nature are men and women. The difference is only in circumstances. Ingenuity. The following ingenious mode of crossing a river was once displayed by a kafir, who had for some time stood watching the vain attempts of a party of soldiers to cross the stream at a time when to ford it was attended by considerable danger. After smiling at their efforts with that sardonic expression remarkable among the se savages, he quietly raised a heavy stone, placed it on his head and then walked, with perfect ease, through the torrent to the opposite side. Sober Second Thought. Tom—"Was it hard to tell Miss Autumnal you loved her?" Jack—"Not half so hard as it was to explain matters after I got sober."—Chicago News. If we could only look at our own troubles as philosophically as we do at those of others happiness would come easy. OZONO IS KING OF ALL HAIR TONICS BE WARNED.

Address: SEARS, ROBEUCK & CO., CHICAGO recovery are slight. NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL Des Moines, September 7, 1900. In his decision in the Teamsters Union-Weitz litigation, in which the former is suing to recover the difference between a sum paid Ed Ryan for services rendered and the amount due according to a scale of wages agreed upon between the union and the contractors last May, Justice Halloran holds that the union is not entitled to recover for the reason that the character of the contract is contrary to public policy. He also contends that the point is applicable to all and that they are clearly violating section 3000 of the code, which says: "Any corporation organized under the laws of the state for the transaction or conduct of any kind of business in this state, or any partnership, association or individual creating into or becoming a member of, or party to any pool, trust, agreement, contract, partnership, association or individual to regulate or fix discourse, or to fix the limit, the amount or quantity of any article, commodity or merchandise to be manufactured, mined, produced or sold in this state shall be guilty of a conspiracy." In fact the construction put upon the term "commodity," which the American and English Encyclopedia of Law interprets as anything which is a benefit, "such as labor interest, etc." Mr. Halloran is of the opinion that unions are maintained contrary to the spirit of the code and against public policy and in direct violation of the statutes, which say, "any organization which has for its object the control of an commodity is guilty of arbitrary discrimination unlawable by law." That labor is a commodity Mr. Halloran says he does not believe any one will dispute and that unions have for their object the maintenance of labor is another fact no one will take issue upon. The eleventh annual convention of the Iowa State Epworth League will be held in Des Moines, October 25-28. The best program ever arranged for a state convention has been prepared, including among the principal speakers Bishop Isaac W. Joyce of Minneapolis, president of the league; Dr. J. F. Berry of Chicago, general secretary; Dr. W. P. Thirkield of Cincinnati, Mrs. Lacy Ryder Meyer of Chicago, Miss Nellie Sanborn of Des Moines, Miss Spencer of Spencer Central Christian Advocate, St. Louis.

It is expected that about six hundred leaguers will be in attendance at this convention, and the Des Moines committees are making preparations to properly entertain the crowd. The chairman of the entertainment committee is Mr. A. E. Read, 504 Eighth street, Des Moines. The convention will be in charge of the event. The chairman of the taborberry of Sioux City, Programs and credential blanks for the event will be mailed soon by the state secretary, C. B Roberts of Adel, to every league chapter in Iowa. It is planned to make the convention a grand closing century rally of the young people of Iowa Methodism. The board of control has awarded the contract for a year's supply of flour for the state institutions. Of the large number of bidders four only were successful, and it is particularly gratifying that these are all Iowa firms. The Mystic Milling company of Sioux City was awarded the contract for the College for flour of flour for the College for the Blind Vinton.

A deal has been closed between the Des Moines and Northern Iowa and New York contractors for the construction of the road and work will commence as soon as the frost is out of the ground next spring. The road will be built by Des Moines men and by Des Moines capital. Just at present the incorporators are arranging for a sale of the bonds. Blotting Increasing in China.

Anamosa, Sept. 4.—Emery Wood shot and killed his father, Axon Wood, at their home in Greenfield township, nine miles south of this city. He was prompted in the deed by the action of his father, who held a loaded revolver in his hand and was chasing his wife about her home. Death was instantaneous, the father falling in the cocked revolver, his son. No evidence of hearing has as been found, but the lad, who is 18 years of age, tells a straightforward story and his assertions are corroborated by the circumstances and appearances about the home; also be the people and neighbor living in the vicinity of the patricide. For many years has the man subject to its fits of temper, although he was not addicted to the use of intoxicants. STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. Over Eight Hundred Students Enrolled for the Annual Session.

Bodies of Two Men Found by Milwaukee Trialmen Mason City, Sept. 6.—Trainmen on the Milwaukee road discovered the dead bodies of two men near the track at Sexton, west of this city. Instead of being injured by some train, as at first supposed, it was clearly evident that they had been murdered and left near the track to give that impression. The officers rified of their contempt and everything which could lead to the identification of the murdered men was taken from the pockets. It is supposed they were stockmen. The officers are investigating. Northwestern's Big Bridge. Ames, Sept. 5. The great double-track bridge being built by the Chicago & Northwestern railway fourteen miles west of here across the Des Moines river and which is now nearing completion, is the largest double-track bridge in the United States. The cost of the steel work is estimated at $450,000 and the foundation is placed at $150,000, bringing the total cost of the bridge up to $600,000. This bridge is being built for the purpose of shortening the road from Boone to Ogden, which now embraces two of the steepest grades on the Northwestern line, the New York wrecks and much loss of life. The new line, besides doing away with these heavy grades, eliminates several curves in the road, enabling the Northwestern to shorten its time considerably between these two towns. It is estimated that the new bridge and short line will cost $1,000,000. Eser Wants $25,000. Chariton, Sept. 4.—Papers have been filed in a $2,500 damage suit against J. M. Harrison and Joe Ballon, railroad detectives for the Q. Eli Manning, sheriff of Lucas county, and the C., B. & Q. railroad, for false imprisonment and degradation of charitable gifts, and the suit grew out of a trial for attempted train wrecking last March. An attempt 'was made to wreck the Burlington fast mail No. 8, and Essex was arrested and charged with the crime. The first trial resulted in his conviction, but he secured a new trial and was acquitted, as he was also in the federal court on charge of obstructing the mails, and he now seeks redress in a damage suit. Murderer Peyton Indicted Sioux City, Sept. 6. - Frank Peyton has been indicted by the Woodbury county grand jury for the murder of Contractor Robson in Sioux City last December.

Phinney, an Illinois Central brakeman, was perhaps fatally injured here, although he was alive at last accounts.

Young Woman Killed. Dubuque, Sept. 5.—Miss Susie Dixon of Platteville, Wis., was killed by a runaway team striking the buggy in which she was riding. Working on Robson Case. Sioux City, Sept. 4.—Chief of Police James Nolan, who has returned from St. Louis, where Frank Peyton confessed to him that he helped kill John E. Robson in this city on the night Dec. 26, when he was most likely woken up the case, running Deyton's story to see if it is true. The officers are looking for Jack Mason, the man whom Peyton implicates. Peyton said he hid a revolver under the Fourth street bridge over Perry creek the night of the murder, but officers have been unable to unearth the gun in spite of a thorough search. CUMMINS WITHDRAWS. Announces He Will Not be a Candidate for Senator. Des Moines, Sept. 7—Hon. A. B. Cummins has concluded not to be a candidate for United States senator in opposition to Senator Doliver. He has made the following statement: "To My Republican Friends: Immediately after the appointment of Senator Doliver, by the death of Senator Gear, I was besieged by reporters, wanting to know whether I would be a candidate for the office before the republican caucus of the general assembly. Thinking that it was possible for me to defer a decision upon the question of the legislature, I replied, in substance, that I might be a candidate, and it is now generally believed that I will contest Mr. Dollier's election. "My experience in the short period since the appointment has convinced me that it is not practicable to postpone my conclusion. I am warned by events that have already occurred that if there is to be a contest between Mr. Dolliver and myself, it must begin now, indeed, that it has already begun. Under these conditions my decision is easily made, and I desire to say, 'I am not going to have to legally and unselfishly supported me, that I am not a candidate. I cannot say this to all of you by a personal communication, and therefore adopt the only other means that can be used for the purpose. "Many things have combined to impel me to the conclusion just announced. I had hoped that following the appointment there would be a period of absolute peace and quiet upon the subject, and that we might forget, for a time at least, that there had been a controversy between Senator dear and myself. The hope was not well founded, and I am not willing that my ambition shall disturb the party in the slightest degree during the important campaign now in progress. I am told that if it is understood that I am a candidate it will affect the seat upon which I am nominated, be submitted at the coming election, and I cannot permit my senatorial aspirations to become an obstacle in the way of a measure so wise and salutary. "A final reason, influential in my determination, is that my business imperatively demands my time and strength, and I cannot carry on a controversy that will consume both, during the long interval that must elapse between the present time and the meeting of the general assembly. "With unbounded gratitude for your unwavering, unequaled devotion in the long though unsuccessful fight I am, yours faithful." "A. B. CUMMINS." THEY RAISED THE BEETS. Ft. Dodge Will Now Lay Claim to a Beet Sugar Factory. Fort Dodge, Sept. 4.—Fort Dodge's prospects for securing a sugar beet factory were never so excellent as the present. President Theiden of the Minnesota Sugar company, whose mammoth plant is at St. Louis Park, Minn., spent last week in the city and his talks with local capitalists gave great encouragement to the promoters of the Fort Dodge beet sugar company. Mr. Theiden says that the soil of northern Iowa is ideal for the culture of the sugar beet, and so well pleased is he with the crop's prospects in Webster, Hamilton and Wright counties that he has decided that the harvest shall begin on September 20. "I have made a close examination of the beets of Webster county," said Mr. Theiden, "and the result is most gratifying. The beets here are of excellent size and shape, showing careful cultivation, and will no doubt give equally gratifying a turn when their sugar amylase is made. The beets grow well. The Budgerigar will be shipped to St. Louis Park as soon as harvested, and there converted into sugar. The growers will be more than pleased with the results." About 300 acres are in sugar beet cultivation here, and as the farmers are finding that the work of caring for the beets is far less than they at first supposed, the acreage will be increased many fold next year. An Iowa Man's Oueer Proceeding Chicago, Sept. 4.—The body of a woman shipped in a carload of furniture arrived here over the Northwestern road from Randall, Iowa. The health authorities took charge of the car. The body was that of the wife of J. E. Johnson of Randall. Wishing to remove to Chicago at the smallest cost, and bringing it home, Johnson and the body disinterested and boxed, then shipped it under the head of "household goods." Half a Million Pounds of Grapes Burlington, Sept. 4-The grape yield in Des Moines county will县能 that of last year by nearly twenty-five per cent. It will exceed half a million of pounds, and the fruit is finer and of a better quality than for years. The grape industry in this county alone will give employment for the next two or three weeks to over one hundred women and girls, who are almost exclusively employed in picking the grape crop. An Iowa Boy Killed Davenport, Sept. 6.—Private Henry W. Erickson, who enlisted at Davenport May 27, 1899, for three years, and was assigned to Company A. Nineteenth United States infantry, has been reported killed in action. August 22, on the island of Pansy, Philippine islands. Crushed by a Motor. Mason City, Sept. 4—William H. Brown, in the employ of the Electric Light company, was probably fatally injured. He and several others were raising a 3,000 pound motor from the basement to the second floor when the hoisting apparatus gave way, letting the motor come crashing down. It nearly caught the Gorman boys, and did pinch the foot of one. Brown was struck in the chest and other parts of the body. He was carried to a physician's office and given the best of treatment, but it is thought he cannot live. He was married just about a year ago. NEWS IN GENERAL NEWS IN GENERAL UNITED STATES REFUSES. Will Not Withdraw Troops From Pe- kking at Present Shanghai, Sept. 5—Dispatches announcing that the American government refuses to agree to the withdrawal of the allied troops from Peking upon satisfaction for the outrages upon and losses to its subjects is given, have been received here and are applauded by the entire foreign bolony in Shanghai. Any other policy, according to business with the Associated Press representative talked, would be a vital blow to the prestige of foreigners and would weaken their status in China. Local English papers fiercely denounce the proposals to evacuate Peking, and say the Chinese would interpret the evacuation us defeat. The masses of Chinamen now believe the Chinese arms are victorious. Chinese papers print pictures of the Chinese military accounts of alleged Chinese victories at Peking, Tien Tsin and Lung Chao, and shops in the native quarter display for sale lilid pictures of the Celestial army driving the Europeans soldiers into the sea at Taku and cutting them to pieces at Tien Tsin. They also show pictures of foreign admirals being tortured in the presence of vieiros. Vice Admiral Seymour is represented with his commissioned team attending before the threep. The people accept these reports and pictures as correctly representing the situation and consider the reports of the English press as "merely foreign lies." GEN. CHAFFEE IS HEARD FROM. Informs the War Department Fully of His Requirements. Washington, Sept. 4.—The following undated dispatch was received by the war department from Gen. Chaffee: “Taku (No date).—A written report of the operations up to the relief of the legations will be forwarded as soon as possible. The present conditions are that hostilities have practically ceased, only occasional shots being fired from cover. A small party is repairing the telegraph line and foraging. No considerable body of thieves roves (Boxwood) beyond the line of communication. We hear that Li Hiang Chang has full power, but he is not here. Will the United States keep a military force here until the terms of peace are arranged? There are now in China about 5,000 effectives, which I think is ample force for the United States, unless political reasons, not apparent to me, demand a larger force. I shall take 5,000 as the basis of my requirements for supplies. If the troops remain here they must winter in tents, and conical wall tents will be required, one tent to ten men. I expect the wagons must be loaded. The wagons will be required immediately. Have mules for the same shipped. No more pack trains are required, as wagon transportation is best. The water is falling in the river rapidly, and we must soon haul our supplies for eight miles. Am satisfied the railroad will not be repaired before the river freezes." All the transportation and tentage ed for by General Chaffee has been anticipated by the department and the company. The balance is due very soon.

Washington, Sept. 6.—Within the last twenty-four hours the United States government has received from its representatives at foreign capitals much material information in regard to the attitude of the powers on the international to evacuate Peking. These give the general nature of the responses made to Russia by certain of the powers. It is stated authoritatively that if there was at any time a prospect of a serious international clash this has been very largely, if not entirely, removed by the harmonious character of the communications the several governments are making. The exact response is not public for the reasons is often apparent, for there are yet some replies to be transmitted and until all of them are in the negotiations are considered in such an incomplete form that they will not be made public. It is said, however, that the answers go much beyond the tentative character of those heretofore referred to and are of a conclusive nature, so far as showing the purposes of the governments, although not necessarily in accepting or rejecting the particular proposition advanced by Russia. On the whole, the general tendency of the responses is such as to give entire satisfaction here as to the course of the negotiations. WILL ACT WITH RUSSIA. Chinese Minister at Berlin, Says German Troops Will Leave Peking. London, Sept. 4.—The Shanghai correspondent of the Times says: "Li Hung Chang has received a telegram from the Chinese minister in Berlin asserting that Germany is prepared to act in concert with Russia with a view to a settlement, and that, therefore, it is probable Germany will follow Russia and withdraw her troops from Peking. "Two American correspondents, who left Peking Aug. 21 with a party of forty American missionaries, arrived here yesterday. The British residents at the time the Americans left were preparing in a leisurely manner to proceed to Tien Tsin. Fighting had entirely ceased, and hardly any Chinese were met in reply. "An official telegram from China Tu Fu reports that Kwei Chun, vice-roy of Chuan, and the Tartar general, Sze Chuan, have both been dismissed by imperial edict, showing that the empress dowager is still guided by vindictive reactionaries." MUST MAKE REPARATION. The United States Government Makes Known Its Position. Washington, Sept. 6.—The president and his cabinet propose to the central government of China three things: 1. Reparation by indemnity for the injuries to foreign citizens and property. 2. Guarantee against the recurrence of such evils and of order and protection throughout the various provinces of the empire. 3. The foreign troops to remain on Chinese soil by stipulation and not merely as invaders. 4. A number of the cabinet expresses himself in follower: "We no longer have any doubt that responsibility for the a attacks upon the legation in Peking must be placed upon the empress dowager and her government. We have received information through official channels which settles this point beyond peradventure." Operations in the Philippines. Washington, Sept. 7.—The following was received at the war department from General MaeArthur: "Manila, Sept. 5.—The details of the outbreak in Bohol, developed that Pedro Samson, commandant of police, Anglican ostensibly to help the price of the various towns. This he did until heard from in Carmen with followers threatening to attach the garrison at Ubay. Two detachments were ordered to Carmen and found the town peaceful, with no trace of insurrection. A detachment of twenty-seven men under First Lieutenant Leback, August 31. was attacked near Carmen by 120 bolzen. The men of the detachment over a hundred being killed. Our loss was as previously reported. A movement in the interior is now in progress." Gold Medal Awarded Walter Baker & Co Paris, Aug. 20.—The judges at the Paris exposition have just awarded a gift to Walter Ricker & Co., Ltd., Dorechester, Mass. U.S. on their preparations of cocoa and chocolate. This famous company, now the largest manufacturers of cocoa and chocolate in the world, have received the highest awards from the great international and other expositions in Europe and America. This is the third award from a Paris exposition The Election in Vermont. White River Junction, Vt. Sept. 6.—The republicans of Vermont elected their state and congressional tickets yesterday by a plurality of at least 25,500 and a majority over all of 31,000. The Republicans and the republican representation in the general assembly will be substantially 290 out of a membership of 246 Blotting Increasing in China Washington, Sept. 7.—The Japanese legation was informed yesterday by telegraph by the foreign office at Tokio of the receipt of a dispatch from the Japanese consul at Amoy stating that the riots against native Christians in Chang Chow and Lung Chi have assumed serious proportions. Will Oppose Germany: Shanghai, Sept. 4.—Two French priests reached Kiao Chou from the far interior, escorted the whole way by Chinese soldiers furnished by Governor Wang shang. They assert the authority of the army. They reach Kiao Chou, disposed apparently with a view to opposing any attempt at German expansion. New York Republicans Saratoga, Sept. 6.—The republican state convention nominated B. E. governor. First Wodruff was governor. First Woodruff was governor. Peace Commissioners Are Violent Reactionary Manchus. London, Sept. 6.—The Chinese minister here has communicated to the foreign office an imperial edict; the Tai Yuan Fu, appointing commissioners to negotiate terms of association with Li Hung Chang. Grave dissatisfaction is felt at the commissioners. Earl Li had asked that Viceroys Liu Kun Ty and Chang Chih Tung and Prince Ching should be nominated with him. The court has ignored this suggestion for the nomination of the reforming Yang Tse viceroys and appointed instead Prince Ching, Yung Li and Han Tung. The two last named are violent reactionary Manchus. Little hope can be entertained of successful negotiations with a board thus constituted, and it is hoped that the powers will decline to treat with the two Manchin nobles. It is clear that southern vioceurs are to be proscribed and persecuted for declining to join in the recent anti-foreign movement, and unless pressure can be brought to bear in their favor by the powers their lives and liberty may be in danger. This revelation of the persistent anti-foreign policy of the Chinese government makes the Russian proposal seem more than ever impolite. So far from being frightened into repentance, the empress dowager and her faction are steadily engaged in enforcing on the crusade against alien influence. Some more striking measures may be required to produce the requisite impression, whereas, if the troops should withdraw from Chine, Chinese insolence and audacity will receive a fresh impetus and reform will be indefinitely postponed. It is possible that the replies of Germany, Austria and Italy to the Russian proposal may take the form of a statement of the conditions unproven by those powers will be prepared to counter peace with China, with reasons against withdrawing from Peking until the terms are arranged. GERMANY WILL STAY IN Decides That It Is necessary for Her Troops to Remain in Peking. Washington, Sept. 7.—The attitude of the German government in the Russian proposal to withdraw the troops from Peking has been made known to the United States, and is to be assert that Germany considers it necessary to retain her forces in Peking. The answer in substance states that Germany, while anxious to avoid any friction between the powers, regards the conditions at Peking such as to require the continued presence of German forces there. Almost at the same time a message was received from the United States to Germany, saying that the attitude of the French government is favorable to the position taken by Russia. NEEDS ALL TROOPS Reinforcements Still Leaving England for Lord Robert's Army. London, Sept. 4.—A dispatch from Pretorian says most of the burghers are said to have retired eastward to ward the harbortown mountains. Then if they endeavor to make a star they should be hemmed in by a British army, which has 40,000 troops available, and compel the majority of the occupants to the majority of them will, perse to their own homes, perish with the hope of again joining to commandees if they see a fair chance. A minority of the fighting burghers, with Kruger himself and with Louis Botha, Lucius Meyer and other officers, have gone to Lydburg, and in this wild and broken country resistance may be prolonged for some time longer. A new swab of bands are in the field, several other portions of the disputed territory. There has been fighting between Theron's commando and the British to the south of Johannesburg, but the censorship has not permitted the particulars to be made known. Delarey and Groebler are also at large in the western Transvaal and D Wet has now moved his way back to Oorde of the Orange Free State. His present following is small, but his name and reputation may gather adherents around him. Finally at Ladybrand, between Bloemfontein and the Basutoland frontier, a burgher force has appeared on the hills and threatens the British garrison of the town. All this seems to show that even if the regular operations of the campaign are soon to be brought to close no considerable number of Lord Roberts' army can yet be allowed to leave South Africa. It was hoped by the ministers that troops might be streaming home the general election in October. This is not now likely and this fact may, after all, throw back the appeal to the country to a later date. Re-enforcements are still going out to Roberts, who has lost one men by death, wounds and sickness and has several friends more in need of present time. hospitals. It is significant that the imperial authorities have asked the Canadian government to allow a portion of the colonial contingent, whose period of service expires this month, to remain in South Africa some time longer. **Lind for Governor of Minnesota.** St. Paul, Sept. 7.—The democratis in this city and the populists in Minneapolis, in their state convention, nominated John Lind for governor. **Strength of Troops in China.** Washington, Sept. 2.—11 is given out that the total number of troops of the allied forces now in China numbers 173,000. Of this number, 7,000 are Americans, 12,000 English, 16,000 Germans, 65,000 French, 50,000 Rus, sians, 3,000 Japanese, 20,000 Italians and 70 Austrians. The field armament consists of a total of 311 guns and thirty-six machine guns. It is not thought that the force in China will be greatly enlarged, the authorities deeming the number now there capable of carrying through all the plans of the powers. x xix not Six St xb x nt sb NOE Si SOA ht tL OO NO Nt i Se | ‘ ag 7 * i i .

They rode all night straight on without a halt, It was a desolate country, uninhablted by native or white man, and far removed from any railway line; but Rothes felt certain {t was the direction taken by Moore in ‘order to get into the Free State, It was in the early dawn that they came to a narrow sprult (stream), whose banks were different from the dry, sandy veldt, soft and muddy. Here they dismounted, and Henrich, the little Zulu, examined the mud at- " fentively, uttered a little cry. “Baah! "horses and of men! One, two man’s Targe footmarks, and one small wom- fan's or child's. We have tracked them and they are not before us; I am sure of that" Rothes sprang to his side and soon convinced himself that Henrich was right, His excitement could hardly be kept in check. “We must press on, Henrich!” he exclaimed. “It {8 hard on the poor beasts, 1 know, but there is no time to be lost. Have a drink of water, boy, and. you can eat your biscuits rid- ng.” ‘Once more they pressed forward. The ‘marks’ continued a bit along the don- fa, or water course, then they rose up sgain to the plain, and of course were Jost there. They’ were now close to some of the wildest and most precip- “tous of the rocky range of mountains, and as they approached the. pass Rathes felt In doubt as to whether he should go through it or continue in the di- rection he had been pursuing. Sud- denly Henrich, giving a low, hissing sound between his teeth, turned to his master, his round, wild eyes blazing. “Baas, baas, look! Straight before us! There 1s a horse standing beside the rock! Do you see him? There! ‘There must be a man there, also.” Rothes' eyes were not so Keen, but as they approached nearer he distizet- 1¥ saw the animal standing motionless by the rock. As they pressed their horses on he saw, too, what Henrich first pointed out—a man’s figure, lying prostrate on a tuft of short grass un- Gerneath the rock He did not move until they were elose to him. ‘Then Rothes saw he was acnative, and wag not dead, as he had ‘at first thought, but sound asleep. as thought Rothes whipped out jeVolvér and covered the prostrate J Are with it, while Hearich, obeying ignal from his master, crept stealth- if,,| to thes” 3a, placed his knee on hls spy stand nf sited both his hands. joy ith a yell the man started up, fad seling violently, but the lithe Zula “bound his hands firmly, and Md Aes’ revolver pointed straight at Dithead. eTask him who he is, Henrich, and he has seen a man and woman pass / ais way,” sald Rothes. “Tell him I 4ahall shoot him if he does not answer ‘at once and tell the truth.” But the crafty native, who was no other than Gerald Moore's “boy,” was readier with his answer than Rothes had hoped. “Give me gold plece—one. two three —and I tell you all you want to know, aas," he sald. Rothes produced the gold. “T will give you that it you can tell ‘me anything about a man and a wom- an on horseback who came from New Kelso, near Ladysmith,” said he. The man showed his teeth in a hor- Ably ugly smile. “I can tell you more about them than any one in the world, bas, ‘The man was my master, and his name fs Mr, Moore.

For Bluetiell’s chance had come and had been taken. ‘When night was beginning to fall they came to the river again. Blue- dell thought it was still the Tugela river, but she was not sure, They had to seek carefully for a “drift” by which to pass over. Bluebell was by this time so utterly exhausted as to be hardly able to keep her seat, but her mind Was as fixed on some oppor- tunity to escape presenting iteelf as ever. She was quite prepared to seize It instantly whenever it should come. They rode down towards the river, Moore a little in advance, Bluebell with her native guide behind her. Moore did not utter a word, but she guessed that he was rather doubtful ‘as to the eafety of crossing the “drift.” Her hedrt beat so hard that it almost choked her. What it her chance were coming now? Moore rode down the grassy slope of the river very cautiously, but evident- ly before he was aware his horse's forefeet had plunged into the stream. He ‘turned and called: “Come on, Chipanga; it fs all right!” Bluebetl's guide urged forward her ‘harse, which, however, seemed loth to ‘take the plunge. Her eyes were fixed ‘on Moore, whose horse was now wad- ing in comparatively shallow water be- fore them. A wild thouzht rushed through ter mind. Should she spring e® kor horse in midstream, trusting to fore her pursuers could reach her? Sh might be drowned. Although she coulé swim, her clothes would be an almost insuperable obstacle. But death by such gentle means would be preferable to the fate before her. ‘They were just about to plunge inte the water when Chipanga gave a sud. den cry: Bluebell’s startled eyes, tol lowing Moore, saw his horse sudden! stumble in the water. Moore made desperate effort to keep himselt up; but’ as the horse, endeavoring to re gain its footing, made another blun. dering step, his rider was thrown clear over his head and disappeared. “He is drowning! Run, run! Hel him!" cried Bluebell. ‘She hardly knew afterwards what wrung the cry from her, whether it was real horror at the accident that had happened tc her persecutor or the sudden wild con: vietion that the chance had come t¢ her. In & moment Chipanga nad plungei into the river. He was holding the reins of Bluebell's horse, and endenv. oring to draw him after him; but th animal resisted, lifting up his forelegs and Bluebell breathed an agonizet “Thank God!” The next instant she had slipped from the horse’s back and was run ning with Incredible speed up th bank. The grass was so long that it stood above her head, but once she got on of it she was in a short, stubbly un dergrowth of grass. Without looking back, hardly breathing, she flew on It was so dark that she felt sure in a few seconds she would be beyond th sight of her enemies, On, on, on! stumbling over tufts o grass, plunging into bushes, tearing herself out again, not knowing whith er she was going, hardly caring, onl} determined to put a distance betweer herself and the hateful fate that had seemed so near. Bluebell was hardls able to draw breath. It came in sob: bing gasps from her dry and parched lips. Her ears were strained to catch the sound of her purstter's horse's hoofs or at least a shout, No sound came and presently she ventured to slacker her speed. What had happened: Could the man have been drowned? But she had to think of herselt She must find some hiding’ place fo the night at least. Though she wai warm, panting and perspiring with he breathless run, she knew that present ly it would be intensely cold. She hac loosened the heavy cloak which cov. ered her almost to the heels as sh ran, and carried it on her arm. She dared not drop it, though it impede her flight, for that would give her pur suers a clue, She was on the sandy plain at last where walking was at least less un: even than on the dry grass. Sudden! she saw before her a little hillock; might have been an ant hill from tt siae and appearance, Bluebell was s001 at it, It was not an ant hill, but th deserted hole of an ant bear, as sh discovered. She crawled into it, I was dry and warm “They will not find me here.” she thought. “Even if they followed or my’tracks, they could not see the beat ole in the dark.” She threw herself on the ground— she could hardly sit upright, so smal was the hole—and for the first tim faced her position. She had no food and no means of procuring any. Sh ‘was lost on a pathless veldt, not know ing where the nearest wagon tract was. Wholly ignorant of her wherea Bouts as she was, what was to becom of her? If she could not find her way to any human habitation she must in evitably die of starvation. ‘The girl bent her face on her claspet hands, and surely as earnest a praye as ever rose to the ears of the Al mighty Father ascended from tha strange hiding place. “Oh, merciful Father, Thou who ar able to save Thy children when the; ery to Thee, grant me Thy help now I commit myself to Thee.

Strange to say, sleep came to he presently; and in that deserted bea hole, in the midst of a lonely and des olate veldt, alone in the world, as 1 seemed, Bluebell Leslie slept soundly She awakened suddenly. It was a ter rible sound I:ke that of distant thun der that broke her slumber. Bluebel sat up, shivering with an uncontrolla ‘ble terror, for she had heard tha sound once before, and knew what i was. Tt was the distant roar of a lion. She crouched down in her hiding Place, shaking from head to foot ‘What if the terrible king of beast should discover her “spor” and trac her to her shelter? The thought o the horrible death that would then b protecting Arm that had shielded het from the terrors of tho night. She crawled out of her hiding place and looked around her, A great flat plain stretched on every side; one or two small kopfes, covered with tawny bushes, broke the monotony; but no river or hill could she see anywhere, There was nothing to guide her as to the direction in, which she was to go. She was absolutely lost on the terr!- ble veldt! Bluebell knew what that meant, She remembered the terrible cases of which she had heard of people—in one case it was a child—being lost on the plain, and never heard of again. She pictured to herself the agony of a liv- ing death by starvation., and shud- dered before the unknown horrors of it, But at least she had escaped from what was fae worse than death—un- less her dreaded persecutor found her again. If he were alive he would be hunting her now. ‘There was no time to lose. Sho must set off at once, and trust to Providence to guide her in the right direction. Bluebell looked up at the sun, the oaly indication of the direction in which she should set her face, She knew that Moore had been going west- ward; she would turn southward She took off her long cloak; for it was now growing very warm, hung it over her shoulder by the straps, and began that terrible journey. She could make no toilet, and her fast she could not break. Already she was beginning to fecl desperately hungry. Bluebell had begun to realize the full horror and physical pains of her position, ‘The hot noonday sun beat down on her unprotected head, giving her a racking headache and almost blinding her. The dry red dust, covering her face and, as it seemed to her, every inch of her body, and causing her hor- rible discomfort, left her mouth and throat parched and dry, and her thirst, was well-nigh intolerable. “Oh, God, how long can I endure it? Have mercy and pity me! Guide me to water!” She moaned aloud. At that moment all she wanted was wa- ter. The anguish of thirst had swal- Jowed up all minor pains. ‘At last she sank down on the dry sand, stretching appealing hands to the pitiless sky that was as brass above her. “It there is no help for me, then let me die outright, O God, before this in- tolerable anguish maddens me!” But there ceme no answer from those oppressive skies, and for the mo- ment it seemed that God was as piti- less ag men. Two days later a small body of English soldiers came briskly riding across the red, sandy velit. They be- Yonged to a Welsh regiment, and had been pursuing a flying body of Boers from Estcourt. They had gone fur- ther than they had intended, and were hurrying back before night overtook them. “Hallo! what have we here?” cried young Lieutenant Preston to his com- panton, pointing to something lying on the red sand. He paused, and, slipping from his horse, picked It up. “Look, Greene! a woman’s slipper, and a very small one at that.” Lieutenant Greene examined it care- fully, then pointed to a light, almost indistinct mark on the sand, “That's what those Boer fellows would call a spoor, Preston. There's a woman somewhere hereabout. Look, there's a kopje to the left covered with shrubs. Let's ride round that way, Order the men to ride slowly.” Preston, who was in command, gave the necessary order. The two young officers rode quickly round by the kopje. Both had an instinctive feeling that they were on the verge of some discovery. (To be continued.) ‘Mud Paths, Mud baths were common among the ancients, the mud on the seashore and the slime of rivers especially prized for this purpose.

Aug. 1, 1883, witnessed the opening of the ex- Position at Loulsville, and the central figure was President Arthur. Upon hs arrival on the soll of Kentucky the president was met by the then gover- nor of the state, Luke B. Blackburn, and in response to a speech of welcome by him the president made a gracious reply. The train then sped onward through the state until Loulsville was reached. Here the presideat was met by a delegation of prominent men of the elty, headed by the mayor, Charles D. Jacob. At night a banquet was ten- dered to the distinguished guest at the Gault house, at which he was called upon to respond to a toast. At about 11 p, m, the president, secompanied by. the committee appointed to look atter his comfort while in Loulsville, start- ed for the suite of rooms which had been set aside for him at the Gault house, and after a chat of about halt aan hour with the members of the com- mittee, which comprised some of tha prominent men in Louisville's affairs, excused himself and retired. After the president had withdrawn one of the committee suggested that the party, while away a couple of hours with a game of poker. No dissenting voice being raised, the cards and chips were brought forth and the game was on. For a solid hour or more nothing could ‘ve heard but the clinking of the chips and the subdued voices of the players as the bets were made, When the game was at {ts helght, and the eyes and the ears of the players were so intent ly fixed upon the cards and the bet- ting as to be totally oblivious to thein surroundings, a tall figure clad in a white night robe appeared from behing the portieres of a communicating room: und, coming up behind one of the players, gently tapped Mm on the shoulder. To the astonishment of thia player, upon looking up he beheld by. hls side the president of the United States. ‘The president sald he had been Iying in bed since the game be- gan, listening to the rattling of the chips and the betting, which was g0- ing on in the adjoining room, and, though tired, he could not persuade himself to go to sleep until he had taken a hand in the game, With one voice the committee extended an invir tation to the president to take a seat at the table and join in the game, which he did.

Shows How Bryan Urged Ratification of Spanish Peace Treaty, Taking in Philippines. Having Been a Member of the First Philippine Commission, He Speaks with Authority on This Subject. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 27.—One of the most distinguished acquisitions to the patriotic cause represented by William McKinley is that of Hon. Charles Denby, of this state, who was United States minister to China under President Cleveland and who was a member of the first Philippine commission. Mr. Denby is one of the most distinguished democrats in the United States. He has for many years been a leader of that party and is a man of ability, character and force. No man in the country is better informed on the Philippine situation than he. In announcing his position supporting McKinley Mr. Denby made a strong statement from which the following extracts are taken: Minister Denby's Statement. Minister Denby's Statement. "In his speech of April 17, 1900, in the senate, Mr. Hoar said that he could not forget that Mr. Bryan, 'unless he is much misrepresented, used all his power and influence with those of his friends who are ready to listen to his counsels to secure the ratification of the treaty,' meaning the Paris treaty. There were 17 democratic senators who voted for the ratification. A two-thirds majority was necessary. The treaty was ratified by one vote. "Mr. Bryan has squarely assumed the responsibility of the ratification. "We had taken Manila on August 13, 1898. In December, 1898, Spain had made a treaty ceding the islands to us. We had occupied them until February 15, 1899. On that day Aguinaldo made war on us. "Our soldiers had to fight for their lives. The treaty was ratified on February 7, 1899. Mr. Bryan advised his friends in the senate to vote to ratify the treaty after the battle of February 5 had been fought. He knew that war had begun. He might readily have foreseen what complications might possibly occur out of the existing conditions. "Then was the time to have talked about the 'consent of the governed,' and not now, when every speech he makes adds ten names to the roll of our dead and 100 to the Filipino dead. "Mr. Bryan, having the undoubted power to prevent the ratification of the treaty, actually by his own confession advised its ratification. Neither in law nor in morals can he be permitted now to secure political advantage from denouncing a course of conduct which he himself advised. Bryan Responsible for Phillippines. Bryan Responsible for Philippines. "Mr. Bryan gives as his reasons for advising ratification that he thought it safer to trust the American people to give independence to the Philippines than to trust the accomplishment of that purpose to diplomacy with an unfriendly nation. This puts Mr. Bryan in the attitude of desiring independence for the Philippines very ardently. "Why should he become so suddenly imbued, with antagonism to the democratic principle of expansion as exemplified by all democratic statesmen from Jefferson to Voorhees? Bryan Created "Imperialism" for His Own Ends. "If he could stand the annexation of Hawaii, why balk at the acquisition of the Philippines? Mr. Bryan's own explanation is as follows: 'I believe that we are now in a better position to wage a successful contest against imperialism than we would have been had the treaty been rejected.'" "Here, then, we have the real reason for this strange parody of Jekyll and Hydel! He wanted to create the bogy of 'imperialism' in order that he might fight and overcome the monster! "If Mr. Bryan had opposed the ratification of the treaty the Filipinos would have gone their way, either into the arms of Spain or of Germany or into discordant, warring and petty states. At all events we would have been done with them. This would not have suited at all, because Mr. Bryan wanted to wage 'a successful contest against imperialism.' And so imperialism was born, and its actual father was William Jennings Bryan! He is now endeavoring to destroy his own children. Let it be remembered that this extraordinary dread of 'imperialistic rule' was from a gentleman who has accepted the nomination of the fusion populists or people's party. The populist platform demands that the country should own and operate the railroads in the interest of the people. Is that not imperialism? Government for Filipinos. Mr. Denby then reviews the work of the first Philippine commission, which was appointed in January, 1899, and continues: "Another commission was sent to establish a civil government for the Philippines. It is now at Manila and the government it has framed will be put in operation September 1, 1900. Is it not fair and right to ask that it be tested into practice before it is condemned? "It is believed by the insurgents that Bryan's election will insure their independence, and they are encouraged to hold out. The success of the democratic party means success for them. If the Tagalos quit fighting and take the oath of allegiance, on the moment the 'paramount issue' is dead, and so is the democracy. In this contest the democrats stake their all on the continuance of fighting. "It strikes one as odd that a great party should base its hopes of success on the killing and wounding of our troops. "Will not a flame of patriotism rise up over the land which will testify at all hazards we will stand by the flag, and, let come what may, we will not turn our backs on the Philippines, a disgraced and dishonored nation? The Real Question in the Philippines. "Disguise it as you may, the real question before the people is whether the armies of the United States should be withdrawn at once, now and forever, and the islands turned over to the Tagalos. "Mr. Bryan would, as commander in chief, have the power to recall the armies, and if he did he would let loose the horrors of a terrible revolution. "We should not grant the Filipinos immediate independence because we have assumed by the treaty obligations to the world which we must comply with. We have also assumed obligations to the friendly Filipinos and we should not abandon them to a dreadful fate. We have promised these people a stable government, and we ought to give it to them. We have property interests in the islands which should be protected. It is desirable for us to have a foothold in the east, so as to foster and increase our commerce. We believe that association with us will elevate the Filipino and improve his condition." CAN'T FOOL THE GERMANS. Democratic Attempts to Lead Them Astray on "Imperialism" Fall Altogether. Des Moines, Aug. 30.—The democrats had a conference in this city yesterday, in which they managed to find a good deal of hope of success in four congressional districts n Iowa, namely, the Second, Sixth, First and Eighth districts. Since the nomination of Henry Vollmer in the Second district they do not have as much hope of carrying that district. In 1896, when the issues were almost identically the same as they are now, Mr. Vollmer stumped the state for Palmer and Buckner and denounced William J. Bryan in his usual intemperate and violent style. He attacked them especially on the money question and because of their championship of the 16 to 1 theory he denounced them without reservation as anarchists. Now he swallows these words, supports the platform declaring for 16 to 1 and asks the votes of these "anarchists" to elect him to congress. The democrats resolved in this conference to devote their energies exclusively to the so-called imperialistic issue, and particularly to try to deceive voters of foreign birth into the belief that the United States is about to inaugurate a foreign policy which will require a great standing army, similar to the armies maintained by the European nations. They are especially trying to frighten the Germans by their unsupported assertions that the country is to be taxed and its citizens impressed into the army as the men of Germany are. The democrats are following their old policy of appealing only to the passions and prejudices of men and they are, as usual, without proof to support their assertions. The most careful investigation shows that the German voters of the state are not being affected by these appeals, which are not complimentary to Germans because they presume ignorance on the part of the Germans. The latter have been looking into the matter for themselves as they find how the democrats are trying to deceive them, and so the imperialistic issue has no terrors for the Germans. They are too busy making money under the protection of the United States government, with its sound currency laws, to be led astray by scheming politicians trying to get their votes to their own injury to serve the ends of democratic schemers. The Germans are thoroughly devoted to the sound money cause. They have no sympathy whatever with any attempt to debase the currency. They know that the safety of all business lies in a safe and stable money. They see that the democratic party stands for the repudiation of debts and for a debasement of the currency that will cut values in two, just the same as it was in 1896. And so they will vote as they did in 1896 in support of the party that stands for a dollar that will always be worth 100 cents, just as much to-morrow as it was yesterday. The German newspapers of the country have a very large circulation in Iowa, and these are nearly all supporting the republican party in this campaign for the same reasons that they did in 1896. In his Topeka speech Bryan affected to state the opinion of Lincoln as to the consent of the governed. The states from which Bryan will get the bulk of his electoral votes are not under the impression that Lincoln consulted the governed when they undertook to divide the union.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Plenty of Hot Water in New Zealand. In New Zealand geysers and thermal springs are plentiful and portions of the country are constantly disturbed. In 1886 Tarawera was in violent eruption, covering villages with stones and ashes for many miles. The beautiful terraces near Mount Rotomahana, the admiration of many tourists, were destroyed. One township was covered with mud. Sixty square miles suffered from this eruption, and 100 people were killed. Flooring Hewed with Adz. There are millions of feet of flooring in the Philippine islands which have been hewed, out with the adz. Some of the floors of the best houses of Manila are of this kind. One can see the through places where the chips have been cut out, but the grain of the wood is so fine that, from daily sweeping and scrubbing, it has taken a polish like that of a plate-glass mirror. He Wasn't the Dog. A citizen walking past a butcher shop in Beatrice, Neb., saw the butcher and a customer rolling over the sawdust floor in a lively rough-and-tumble fashion. He pried them apart and then learned that the customer had come in to buy some dog meat. The butcher nonchalantly asked: "Do you wish to eat it here or shall I wrap it up?" Then the trouble began. To Filter Water. An easy way to filter water is to take a clean, deep flowerpot, and put a compressed sponge in the bottom. Over this put a layer of pebbles an inch thick, then an inch of coarse sand, a layer of charcoal, and over all another layer of pebbles. The water will filter pure and clear through the hole at the bottom of the flowerpot into another vessel below. Why They Are Called Hangern. Wall paper does not hang, and yet the person whose business it is to paste it up is called a paper hanger. The reason is simple. Long before the introduction of wall papers Arras, a town in France, was famous for its tapestries, called "arras." These were used as wall coverings and the "nen who were employed to put them up were called hangers. Diggling Baked Potatoes. Near Binghamton, N. Y., farmers are digging baked potatoes from their fields. The fields adjoin a peat bog and the peat runs back under the land. Recently the bog tock fire and has been burning ever since.

Clark of Johns Hopkins university has been appointed by the governor of Maryland commissioner on behalf of that state, to act with a similar commission of Pennsylvania and the superintendent of the United States coast and geodetic survey in the re-establishment of the old Mason and Dixon line. Takes Plant Boarders. A Philadelphia woman makes a comfortable living in summer by taking plants to "board." When the wealthy residents of the city close their homes, preparatory to spending the season at the seaside, the woman calls and gets their plants and takes them to her own conservatory.

He is now completing his work as superintendent of the state natural history survey of Illinios, and will not assume his new duties until the first of next year.

Among other things, it has never succeeded in successfully transferring to canvas the "human form divine."

"In his speech of April 17, 1900, in the senate, Mr. Hoar said that he could not forget that Mr. Bryan, 'unless he is much misrepresented, used all his power and influence with those of his friends who are ready to listen to his counsels to secure the ratification of the treaty,' meaning the Paris treaty. There were 17 democratic senators who voted for the ratification. A two-thirds majority was necessary. The treaty was ratified by one vote. "Mr. Bryan has squarely assumed the responsibility of the ratification. 'We had taken Manila on August 13, 1898. In December, 1898, Spain had made a treaty ceding the islands to us. We had occupied them until February 15, 1899. On that day Aguinaldo made war on us. "Our soldiers had to fight for their lives. The treaty was ratified on February 7, 1899. Mr. Bryan advised his friends in the senate to vote to ratify the treaty after the battle of February 5 had been fought. He knew that war had begun. He might readily have foreseen what complications might possibly occur out of the existing conditions. "Then was the time to have talked about the 'consent of the governed,' and not now, when every speech he makes adds ten names to the roll of our dead and 100 to the Filipino dead. "Mr. Bryan, having the undoubted power to prevent the ratification of the treaty, actually by his own confession advised its ratification. Neither in law nor in morals can he be permitted now to secure political advantage from denouncing a course of conduct which he himself advised. "Mr. Bryan gives as his reasons for advising ratification that he thought it safer to trust the American people to give independence to the Philippines than to trust the accomplishment of that purpose to diplomacy with an unfriendly nation. This puts Mr. Bryan in the attitude of desiring independence for the Philippines very ardently. "Why should he become so suddenly imbued, with antagonism to the democratic principle of expansion as exemplified by all democratic statesmen from Jefferson to Voorhees? Bryan Created "Imperialism" for His Own Ends. "If he could stand the annexation of Hawaii, why balk at the acquisition of the Philippines? Mr. Bryan's own explanation is as follows: 'I believe that we are now in a better position to wage a successful contest against imperialism than we would have been had the treaty been rejected.' "Here, then, we have the real reason for this strange parody of Jekyll and Hydel. He wanted to create the bogy of 'imperialism' in order that he might fight and overcome the monster! "If Mr. Bryan had opposed the ratification of the treaty the Filipinos would have gone their way, either into the arms of Spain or of Germany or into discordant, warring and petty states. At all events we would have been done with them. This would not have suited at all, because Mr. Bryan wanted to wage 'a successful contest against imperialism.' And so imperialism was born, and its actual father was William Jennings Bryan! He is now endeavoring to destroy his own children. Let it be remembered that this extraordinary dread of 'imperialistic rule' was from a gentleman who has accepted the nomination of the fusion populists or people's party. The populist platform demands that 'the country should own and operate the railroads in the interest of the people.' Is that not imperialism? Government for Filipinos. Mr. Denby then reviews the work of the first Philippine commission, which was appointed in January, 1899, and continues: "Another commission was sent to establish a civil government for the Philippines. It is now at Manila and the government it has framed will be put in operation September 1, 1900. Is it not fair and right to ask that it be tested into practice before it is condemned? "It is believed by the insurgents that Bryan's election will insure their independence, and they are encouraged to hold out. The success of the democratic party means success for them. If the Tagalog quit fighting and take the oath of allegiance, on the moment the 'paramount issue' is dead, and so is the democracy. In this contest the democrats stake their all on the continuance of fighting. "It strikes one as odd that a great party should base its hopes of success on the killing and wounding of our troops. "Will not a flame of patriotism rise up over the land which will teatify at all hazards we will stand by the flag, and let come what may, we will not turn our backs on the Philippines, a disgraced and dishonored nation? The Real Question in the Philippines. "Disguise it as you may, the real question before the people is whether the armies of the United States should be withdrawn at once, now and forever, and the islands turned over to the Tagalos. "Mr. Bryan would, as commander in chief, have the power to recall the armies, and if he did he would let loose the horrors of a terrible revolution. "We should not grant the Filipinos immediate independence because we have assumed by the treaty obligations to the world which we must comply with. We have also assumed obligations to the friendly Filipinos and we should not abandon them to a dreadful fate. We have promised these people a stable government, and we ought to give it to them. We have property interests in the islands which should be protected. It is desirable for us to have a foothold in the east, so as to foster and increase our commerce. We believe that association with us will elevate the Filipino and improve his condition." CAN'T FOOL THE GERMANS. Democratic Attempts to Lead Them Astray on "Imperialism" Fail Altogether. Des Moines, Aug. 30.—The democrats had a conference in this city yesterday, in which they managed to find a good deal of hope of success in four congressional districts n Iowa, namely, the Second, Sixth, First and Eighth districts. Since the nomination of Henry Vollmer in the Second district they do not have as much hope of carrying that district. In 1896, when the issues were almost identically the same as they are now, Mr. Vollmer stumped the state for Palmer and Buckner and denounced William J. Bryan in his usual intemperate and violent style. He attacked them especially on the money question and because of their championship of the 16 to 1 theory he denounced them without reservation as anarchists. Now he swallows these words, supports the platform declaring for 16 to 1 and asks the votes of these "anarchists" to elect him to congress. The democrats resolved in this conference to devote their energies exclusively to the so-called imperialistic issue, and particularly to try to deceive voters of foreign birth into the belief that the United States is about to inaugurate a foreign policy which will require a great standing army, similar to the armies maintained by the European nations. They are especially trying to frighten the Germans by their unsupported assertions that the country is to be taxed and its citizens impressed into the army as the men of Germany are. The democrats are following their old policy of appealing only to the passions and prejudices of men and they are, as usual, without proof to support their assertions. The most careful investigation shows that the German voters of the state are not being affected by these appeals, which are not complimentary to Germans because they presume ignorance on the part of the Germans. The latter have been looking into the matter for themselves as they find how the democrats are trying to deceive them, and so the imperialistic issue has no terrors for the Germans. They are too busy making money under the protection of the United States government, with its sound currency laws, to be led astray by scheming politicians trying to get their votes to their own injury to serve the ends of democratic schemers. The Germans are thoroughly devoted to the sound money cause. They have no sympathy whatever with any attempt to debase the currency. They know that the safety of all business lies in a safe and stable money. They see that the democratic party stands for the repudiation of debts and for a debasement of the currency that will cut values in two, just the same as it was in 1896. And so they will vote as they did in 1896 in support of the party that stands for a dollar that will always be worth 100 cents, just as much to-morrow as it was yesterday. The German newspapers of the country have a very large circulation in Iowa, and these are nearly all supporting the republican party in this campaign for the same reasons that they did in 1896. In his Topeka speech Bryan affected to state the opinion of Lincoln as to the consent of the governed. The states from which Bryan will get the bulk of his electoral votes are not under the impression that Lincoln consulted the governed when they undertook to divide the union.

This Comb, in connection with ELECTRICAL HAIR RESTORATIVE, the great hair grower, causes the hair to grow long and straight. This great electrical invention, by its marvelous magnetic power, gives life to the hair, causing it to grow long and straight. The effect is seen at once. The hair commences to grow straight as soon as the use of the Comb is commenced. Look at the BUG. This is a hair germ parasite. They are invisible to the naked eye, but under the rays of a powerful microscope the above picture is what they look like. The hands of these game burrow at the roots of the hair, destroying the life of the hair, and causing it to fall out; also causes all forms of Scalp Diseases. If you have dandruff or any scalp disease, if your hair is thin and short and harsh and brittle; bald or thin on the top of the hair, if your hair is thick and hard and brittle; it is caused by this germ. The MAGNETIC COMB, together with ELECTRICAL HAIR RESTORATIVE, destroys these, thus enabling the hair to grow long and straight, soft, silky, and beautiful. Two boxes of the great hair grower, ELECTRICAL HAIR RESTORATIVE, are sent with each Comb. For $45.00 hundred and any address, prepaid, on receipt of price. The Comb positively requires no heating.

In New Zealand geysers and thermal springs are plentiful and portions of the country are constantly disturbed. In 1886 Tarawara was in violent eruption, covering villages with stones and ashes for many miles. The beautiful terraces near Mount Rotomahana, the admiration of many tourists, were destroyed. One township was covered with mud. Sixty square miles suffered from this eruption, and 100 people were killed. Flooring Hewed with Adz. There are millions of feet of flooring in the Philippine islands which have been hewed, out with the adz. Some of the floors of the best houses of Manila are of this kind. One can see the rough places where the chips have been cut out, but the grain of the wood is so fine that, from daily sweeping and scrubbing, it has taken a polish like that of a plate-glass mirror. He Wasn't the Dog. A citizen walking past a butcher shop in Beatrice, Neb., saw the butcher and a customer rolling over the sawdust floor in a lively rough-and-tumble fashion. He pried them apart and then learned that the customer had come in to buy some dog meat. The butcher nonchalantly asked: "Do you wish to eat it here or shall I wrap it up?" Then the trouble began. To Filter Water. An easy way to filter water is to take a clean, deep flowerpot, and put a compressed sponge in the bottom. Over this put a layer of pebbles an inch thick, then an inch of coarse sand, a layer of charcoal, and over all another layer of pebbles. The water will filter pure and clear through the hole at the bottom of the flowerpot into another vessel below. Why They Are Called Hangern. Wall paper does not hang, and yet the person whose business it is to paste it up is called a paper hanger. The reason is simple. Long before the introduction of wall papers Arras, a town in France, was famous for its tapestries, called "arras." These were used as wall coverings and the men who were employed to put them up were called hangers. Digging Baked Potatoes. Near Binghamton, N. Y., farmers are digging baked potatoes from their fields. The fields adjoin a peat bog and the peat runs back under the land. Recently the bog took fire and has been burning ever since. In places the fire has worked back under the potato patches and the potatoes have been nicely roasted in the ground. Mason and Dixon Line Prof. W. B. Clark of Johns Hopkins university has been appointed by the governor of Maryland commissioner on behalf of that state, to act with a similar commission of Pennsylvania and the superintendent of the United States coast and geodetic survey in the re-establishment of the old Mason and Dixon line. Takes Plant Boarders A Philadelphia woman makes a comfortable living in summer by taking plants to "board." When the wealthy residents of the city close their homes, preparatory to spending the season at the seaside, the woman calls and gets their plants and takes them to her own conservatory. Professor of Embryology: Dr. Charles Atwood Kofold has been appointed assistant professor of embryology in the University of California. He is now completing his work as superintendent of the state natural history survey of Illinios, and will not assume his new duties until the first of next year. The Shah Is Progressive The shah of Persia has sent an agent to this country for a brief examination of the electric trolley system of Greater New York. The shah purposes to establish a trolley car line between Teheran and a port on the Caspian sea, a distance of 93 miles. Japanese Art. Japanese art, according to Albert East, is "great in small things, but small in great things." Among other things, it has never succeeded in successfully transferring to canvas the "human form divine." Tobacco as Brain Stimulant. Thomas Nelson Page is the latest author to testify to the virtues of tobacco as a brain stimulant. He is himself a smoker and always smokes just before taking up his pen and more or less while writing. To Honor Mrs. Gladstone. It is proposed to commemorate the late Mrs. Gladstone's useful and beautiful life by endowing a Catharine Gladstone ward in the Women's hospital in London as a fitting monument. Stevenson's Christian Name. Adlai E. Stevenson has a great deal of trouble with his acquaintances over the pronunciation of his Christian name. Not one person in a dozen, he says, pronounces it properly. Men Dye More Than Women. A New York druggist said recently that according to his experience men use hair dyes to a much greater extent than women.

Owing to the Vast Numbers Who have been Unable to see the British Doctors, these Eminent Gentlemen have Extended the Time for Giving their Services Free for Three Months to All who Call Before October 17th. Owing to the large number of invalids who have called upon the British Doctors at the office room, 204, and 205 Marquardt Block, and who have been unable to see them, these eminent gentlemen have, by request, consented to continue giving their services free for three months to all invalids who call upon them before October 17th. These services will consist not only of consultation, examination and advice, but also of all minor surgical operations. The object in pursuing this course is to become rapidly and personally acquainted with the sick and afflicted, and under no consideration whatever will any charges be made for any services rendered for three months, medicine excepted, to all who call before October 17th. The doctors treat all forms of disease and deformities, and guarantee a cure in every case they undertake.

SPECIAL NOTICE—If you cannot call, send stamp for question blank for home treatment NEBRASKA THE LAND OF PLENTY I wonder why it is that so many men spend their days working hard on rented farms, barely making enough to get along, with no great prospect ahead of owning their own house when within a few hours' job; is a land of plenty—NEBRASK where all kinds of grain and fruit are raised with the least amount of water; where cattle and hogs fed on it bring a handsome profit; where a climate is healthful and churches and schools abound; where land is cheap and can be bought on very easy terms. Think of this, and if you want information about the country send to me for "The Corn Belt," a beautiful illustrated paper that tells all about Nebraska, and also for "The West Nebraska Grazing Country," an interesting illustrated booklet containing a large sectional map of Nebraska.

The following is from the editorial page of the Chicago Tribune. Eight white men have been sentenced to imprisonment for life at Austin' Tex., for lynching James Humphries, and two sons over a year ago. The Humphries were respectable white men and were lynched by their neighbors on the charge that they had stolen a hog from a farmer. It was not clearly established that the victims stole the hog, but assuming that they did it was a ridiculous pretes for lynching and the eight lynchers richly deserve their punishment. It is a gratifying sign that a white man has been punished for lynching in the South, but the gratification is somewhat dampened by the fact that the victims were white also. Had the latter been black the eight men who hanged them would probably have escaped punishment. There is no case on record yet in that section where a white man has been punished for lynching a Negro, though many Negroes have been lynched for causes as insignificant as that which led to the death of the Humphries. The Tribune expresses our views, and we certainly congratulate the Tribune for their timely editorial. In recent years the white southern barbarians have been trying to suppress the associated press from [sending reports of the lynching to the northern press and when such a strong article in our behalf is seen on the Editorial page of one of the greatest Dailies in the West it proves to us that "The Forum of the People" has not forsaken us.

[Portrait of a man with a mustache and a hat, set against a backdrop of a large tree and a house with a porch.] The above picture shows the house where George Dewey was born December 26th, 1837. It was occupied by the Dewey family until after the death of the Admiral's father. It then came into the possession of Captain Edward Dewey, who said it to its present owner and occupant, T. K. Gordon, of Captain Gordon, who moved to New York in 1850. Famed for his service to the Navy, 1890, and has occupied it until the time that Mr. and Mrs. Gordon are unfailing in their courtesy to the thousands who visit this shrine, the birthplace of Admiral Dewey. A recent letter from T.R. Gordon to the Peruna Drug M'Tg Co., Columbus, Ohio reads as follows: *reads us follows:* "It is with great satisfaction that I find myself able, after an extended trial, to* *do what I have done of the good work.

KIDNEY TROUBLES OF WOMEN Miss Frederick's Letters Shew How She Relied on Mrs. Pinkham and Was Cured. "DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:—I have a yellow, muddy complexion, feel tired and have bearing down pain.

"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:—I have used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound according to directions, and can say I have not felt so will for years as I do at present.

I doctored with one of the best physicians in the city of New York, but received no benefit. I had been ailing for about sixteen years, was so weak and nervous that I could hardly walk; had continued pain in my back and was troubled with leucorrhea. Menses were irregular and painful.

DISCOURSES ON CHRIST AND THE CHURCH. The Most Beautiful Flowers and the Best of Fruit—Why the Saviour Picks the Choicest First — The Day of Salvation. (Copyright, 1900, by Louis Klopsch.) This sermon Dr. Talmage sends from a halting place in his journey through the valleys of Switzerland. It seems to have been prepared amid the bloom and aroma of a garden midsummer. The text is Song of Solomon v. 1: "I am come into my garden." The Bible is a great poem. We have in it faultless rhythm and bold imagery and startling antithesis and rapturous lyric and sweet pastoral and instructive narrative and devotional psalm; thoughts expressed in style more solemn than that of Montgomery, more bold than that of Milton, more terrible than that of Dante, more natural than that of Wordsworth, more impassioned than that of Pollock, more tender than that of Cowper, more weird than that of Spenser. This great poem brings all the gems of the earth into its coronet, and it weaves the flames of judgment into its garlands and pours eternal harmonies in its rhythm. Everything this book touches it makes beautiful, from the plain stones of the summer thrashing floor to the daughters of Nahor filling the troughs for the camels, from the fish pools of Heshbon up to the Psalmist praising God with diapason of storm and whirlwind and Job's imagery of Orion, Arcturus and the Pleiades. My text leads us into a scene of summer redolence. The world has had a great many beautiful gardens. Charlemagne added to the glory of his reign by decreeing that they be established all through the realm, deciding even the names of the flowers to be planted there. Henry IV. at Montpellier established gardens of bewitching beauty and luxuriance, gathering into them Alpine, Pyrenean and French plants. One of the sweetest spots on earth was the garden of Shenstone, the poet. His writings have made but little impression on the world, but his garden, the "Leasowes," will be immortal. To the natural advantages of that place was brought the perfection of art. Arbor and terrace and slope and rustic temple and reservoir and urn and fountain here had their crowning. Oak and yew and hazel put forth their richest foliage. There was no life more diligent, no soul more ingenious than that of Shenstone, and all that diligence and he brought to the adornment of that one treasured spot. He forged £300 for it. He sold it to for several And. yet I am to tell you today of a richer garden than any I have mentioned. It is the garden spoken of in my text—the garden of the church, which belongs to Christ, for my text says so. He bought it, he planted it, he owns it, and he shall have it. Walter Scott, in his outlay at Abbotsford, ruined his fortune, and in the crimson flowers of those gardens, you can almost think or imagine that you see the blood of that old man's broken heart. The payment of the last £100,000 sacrificed him. But I have to tell you that Christ's life and Christ's death were the outlay of this beautiful garden of the church, of which my text speaks. Oh, how many sighs andears and pangs and agonies! Tell me, we women who saw him hang! Tell me, we executioners who lifted him and let him down! Tell me, thou sun that didst hide, ye rocks that fell! "Christ loved the church and gave himself for it." If the garden of the church belongs to Christ, certainly he has a right to walk in it. Come, then, O blessed Jesus, today. Walk up and down these aisles and pluck what thou wilt of sweetness for thyself! The Church Is a Garden. The church in my text is appropriately compared to a garden, because it is a place of choice flowers, or select fruits and of thorough irrigation. That would be a strange garden in which there were no flowers. If no where else, they would be along the borders or at the gateway. The homeiest taste will dictate something. If it be only the old fashioned hollyhock or dahlia or daffodil. But if there be larger means then you will find the Mexican cactus and blazing azalea and clustering oleander. Well, now, Christ comes to his garden, and he plants there some of the brightest spirits that ever flowered upon the world. Some of them are violets, inconspicuous, but sweet as heaven. You have to search and find them. You do not see them very often perhaps, but you find where they have been by the brightened face of the invalid and the sprig of geranium on the stand and the new window curtains keeping out the glow of the sunlight. They are perhaps more like the ranunculus, creeping sweetly along amid the thorns and briers of life, giving kiss for sting. And many a man who has had in his way some great black rock of trouble has found that they have covered it all over with flowery jasmine running in and out amid the crevices. These flowers in Christ's garden are not, like the sunflower, gaudy in the light, but wherever darkness hovers over a soul that needs to be comforted there they stand, night blooming cereses. But in Christ's garden there are plants that may be better compared to the Mexican cactus—thorns without, loveliness within—men with sharp points of character. They wound almost every one that touches them. They are hard to handle. Men pronounce them nothing but thorns, but Christ loves them, notwithstanding all their sharpnesses. Many a man has had a very hard ground to cultivate, and it has only been through severe trial that he has raised even the smallest scrap of grace. A very harsh minister was talking to a very placid elder, and the placid elder said to the harsh minister, "Doctor, I do wish you would control your temper." "Ah," said the minister to the elder, "I control more temper in five minutes than you do in five years." It is harder for some men to do right than for other men to do right. The grace that would elevate you to the seventh heaven might not keep your brother from knocking a man down. I had a friend who came to me and said, "I dare not join the church." I said, "Why? "Oh." he said, "I have such a violent temper. Yesterday morning I was crossing very early at the Jersey City ferry, and I saw a milkman pour a large quantity of water into the milk can, and I said to him, "I think that will do." And he insulted me, and I knocked him down. Do you think I ought to join the church?" Nevertheless that very same man who was so harsh in his behavior loved Christ and could not speak of sacred things without tears of emotion and affection. Thorns without, sweetness within, the best specimen of Mexican cactus I ever saw. There are others planted in Christ's garden who are always radiant, always impressive, more like the roses of deep hue that we occasionally find called "giants of battle"; the Martin Luthers, St. Pauls, Chrysostoms, Wylffs, Latimers and Samuel Rutherfords. What in other men is a spark in them is a conflagration. When they sweat, they sweat great drops of blood. When they pray, their prayer takes fire. When they preach it is a Pentecost. When they fight, it is a Thermopylae. When they die, it is a martyrdom. You find a great many roses in the gardens, but only a few "giants of battle". Men say, "Why don't you have more of them in the church?" I say, "Why don't you have in the world more Humboldts and Wellingtons?" God gives to some ten talents, to others one. In this garden of the church which Christ has planted also find the snowdrops, beautiful but cold looking, seemingly another phase of winter. I mean those Christians who are precise in their tastes, unimpassioned, pure as snowdrops and as cold. They never shed any tears, they never get excited, they never say anything rashly, they never do anything precipitately. Their pulses never flutter, their nerves never twitch, their indignation never bolls over. They live longer than most people, but their life is in a minor key. They never run up to "C" above the staff. In their music of life they have no staccato passages. Christ planted them in the church, and they must be of some service or they would not be there; snowdrops—always snowdrops. Most Beautiful Flower. But I have not told you of the most beautiful flower in all this garden spoken of in the text. If you see a century plant, your emotions are started. You say, "Why, this flower has been a hundred years gathering up for one bloom, and it will be a hundred years more before other petals will come out." But I have to tell you of a plant that was gathering up from all eternity and that 1,900 years ago put forth its bloom never to wither. It is the passion plant of the cross. Prophets foretold it, Bethlehem shepherds looked upon it in the bud, the rocks shook up in its bursting and the dead got up in their winding sheets to see its full bloom. It is a crimson flower—blood at the roots, blood on the branches, blood on the leaves. Its perfume is to fill all the nations. Its breath is heaven. Come. oh winds from the north and winds from the south and winds from the east and winds from the west and bear to all the earth the sweet smelling savor of Christ, my Lord! His worth if all the nations knew. Sure the whole earth would love him too. Again, the church may be appropriately compared to the garden, because it is a place of fruits. That would be a strange garden which had in it no berries, no plums or peaches or apricots. The coarser fruits are planted in the orchard or they are set out on the sunny hillside. But the choicest fruits are kept in the garden. So in the world outside the church Christ has planted a great many beautiful things—patience, charity, generosity, integrity. But he intends the choicest fruits to be in the garden, and if they are not there then shame on the church. Religion is not a mere flowering sentimentality. It is a practical, life giving, healthful fruit, not posies, but apples. Christ Takes the Best Flowers. It has seemed as if Jesus Christ took the best. From many of your households the best one is gone. You know that she was too good for this world. She was the gentlest in her ways, the deepest in her affection, and when at last the sickness came you had no faith in medicines. You knew that the hour of parting had come, and when, through the rich grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, you surrendered that treasure you said: "Lord Jesus, take it. It is the best we have. Take it. The art worthy." The others in the household may have been of grosser mold. She was of the finest. The heaven of your little ones will not be fairly begin until you get there. All the kindnesses shown by immortals will not make them forget you. There they are, the radiant throngs that went out from your homes. I throw a kiss to the sweet darlings. They are all well now in the palace. The crippled child has a sound foot now. A little lame child says, "Ma, will I be lame in heaven?" "No, my darling, you won't be lame in heaven." A little sick child says, "Ma, will I be sick in heaven?" "No, my dear, you won't be sick in heaven." A little blind child says, "Ma, will I be blind in heaven?" "No, my dear, you won't be blind in heaven." They are all well there. I notice that the fine gardens sometimes have high fences around them, and I cannot get in. It is so with a king's garden. The only glimpse you ever get of such a garden is when the king rides out in his splendid carriage. It is not so with this garden, this King's garden. I throw wide open the gate and tell you all to come in. No monopoly in religion. Whosoever will may. Choose now between a desert and a garden. Many of you have tried the garden of this world's delight. You have found it has been a chagrin. So it was with Theodore Hook. He made all the world laugh. He makes us laugh now when we read his poems. But he could not make his own heart laugh. While in the midst of his festivities he confronted a looking glass, and he saw himself and said: "There, that is true. I look just as I am—done up in body, mind and purse." So it was of Shenstone, of whose garden I told you at the beginning of my sermon. He sat down amid those bowers and said: "I have lost my road to happiness. I am angry and envious and frantic and despise everything around me just as it becomes a madman to do." O ye weary souls, come into Christ's garden today and pluck a little heartsease. Christ is the only rest and the only pardon for a perturbed spirit. Do you not think your chance has almost come? You men and women who have been waiting year after year for some good opportunity in which to accept Christ, but have postponed it 5, 10, 20, 30 years, do you not feel as if now your hour of deliverance and pardon and salvation had come? O man, what grudge hast thou against thy poor soul that thou wilt not let it be saved? Some years ago a vessel struck on the rocks. They had only one lifeboat. In that lifeboat the passengers and crew were getting ashore. The vessel had foundered and was slinking deeper and deeper, and that one boat could not take the passengers very swiftly. A little girl stood on the deck waiting for her turn to get into the boat. The boat came and went, came and went, but her turn did not seem to come. After awhile she could wait no longer, and she leaped on the traffail and then sprang into the sea, crying to the boatman: "Save me next! Save me next!" Oh, how many have gone ashore into God's mercy, and yet you are clinging to the wreck of sin! Others have accepted the pardon of Christ, but you are in peril. Why not this moment make a rush for your immortal rescue, crying until Jesus shall hear you and heaven and earth ring with the cry "Save me next! Save me next!" Now is the day of salvation! Now! Now! Some Flies Are Balloonists. According to I. M. Aldrich and L. A. Turley, two well-known European zoologists, man is not the only living being who delights to go skyward in a balloon. There are certain files, they say, which invariably go through the air in balloons whenever they get tired of flying in the ordinary way. These airships are composed of small bubbles, which are exuded from the bodies of files and the air in which suffices to support the insects whenever their wings become weary and the fancy takes them to ride through the air on their tiny gossamer bladders. They can go, it is said, in any desired direction by simply swaying their bodies toward the goal which they expect to reach. In one of these curious airships the zoologists found the body of a very small insect, and they are now wondering whether it got in there by chance or whether the proprietor of the balloon thoughtfully placed it there with the object of feeding on it during its aerial journey. As an argument in favor of the latter hypothesis they point out that files while traveling in balloons cannot satisfy their hunger unless they return to the earth.—New York Herald. Detroit's 200th Anniversary. Detroit, Mich., besides being one of the prettiest of American cities, has the distinction of being among the oldest with the exception of those on the immediate seaboard. As a trading and military station it was held by the French as far back as 1610; in 1763 it was transferred to the British; after the Revolution it passed to the United States. The 200th anniversary of its foundation as a city is about to be celebrated, and arrangements are in progress for the commemoration of the event by the erection of a handsome monument. It will be situated on an island in the Detroit River, and will be 220 feet high. Groups of statuary will adorn its base, which will be surrounded by a court, attached to which will be a marble colonde 900 feet long. with wings at each end of 300 feet in length. Princes in War No fewer than five princes are actively engaged in the South African war. They are Prince Christian Victor, Princes Adolphus, Alexander and Francis, of Teck, and Count Gleichen. Most of them had previously been engaged in military operations in other parts of the world. Prince Christian served in Ashanti, the Soudan and other campaigns, Prince Alexander of Teck did good work in Matabeleland, and his brother, Prince Francis, served as a captain in the Egyptian war of 1897-98, while Count Gleichen took part in several of the Soudan expeditions. Twine for Tiring Wool. The Michigan experiment station asked this question of some of the largest dealers in wool: "Is the use of inferior twine and too much of it common enough to make it admirable to explain to wool growers the best grades of twine to use, the amount to use, etc.?" It publishes the following answers: Answer by No. 1.—The use of inferior twine, and too much of it, is certainly a great drawback to the marketing of Michigan wool, and under all circumstances should the use of sisal or binding twine be avoided, manufacturers discriminate strongly against fleeces tied up in this manner, as the vegetable substance gets into the yarns and ruins them unless the wool is carbonized. The latter process takes the life out of the fiber and also weakens it, hence carbonized wool is only used in inferior fabrics. We think six to eight feet of twine is sufficient to tie the wool in such manner that the fleeces can be marketed in. good shape. Answer by No. 2. — It is advisable for the grower to use as little twine as possible, and such twine should be of the best grade. It should simply be wound round the fleeces once. Answerers by Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 9—Yes. Answer by No. 6. — A small hard round twine should be used, tying up the fleeces once across each way, the same as you would tie a up a box, not using any more twine than is actually necessary. A thick fiber twine is very detrimental and most especially that called sisal. Answer by No. 7. — The use of inferior twine is a disadvantage. Answer by No. 8. — The use of sisal twine is a very serious injury to wool, and causes such damage in certain kinds of manufacture that manufacturers are obliged to use foreign wools to escape the risk of damage to their goods. If your efforts can prevent the use of sisal twine throughout, the state it will make one step towards popularizing Michigan wool. The bulletin further says: Besides weight there is still another reason why buyers object to coarse twine. The coarse, hard fibers of the twine are apt to work in among the wool fibers. Manufacturers find it difficult to separate these foreign fibers from the wool, and unless they are removed they work injury to goods manufactured from such wool. We believe the time has come when Michigan wool growers should adopt a small twine of better quality. A small linen twine used by nearly all wool growers in Australia is to be recommended in every way. While such twine costs about 25 cents per pound it runs nearly 2,700 feet to the pound. A pound of linen twine should therefore tie 270 fleece, allowing twenty feet to each fleece. This linen twine is a soft twine and should the fibers become mixed with the wool fibers there would be no injury done. Number 18 breeds also to be recommended. They about sixteen hundred feet of twine to the pound and it can be chased for about 10 cents per pound. The only objection raised to the use a small fine twine for tying wool that it was hard on the wool pad hands. Winter Wheat for Nebraska Press Bulletin 15, Nebraska experiment station, says: In the fall of 1896 thirty-seven varieties of winter wheat were sown on the station farm. Of these, all but three varieties killed out so badly that it was not considered worth while to harvest them. The three varieties that lived through were Turkey Red, Big Frame and Currell. In the fall of 1898 there were sown more than a hundred varieties, and only five came through the winter in good condition. Those just mentioned were three of the five. Last fall forty-two varieties were sown, of which seven did not germinate and nineteen winterkilled. The same three varieties were among the best, but the yields have not yet been ascertained. In order to test the relative meits of the seed thus selected and that of the same varieties from some other sections of the Turkey Red variety, seed from the Ohio and Iowa experiment stations and the Turkey from Kansas. The latter is very similar to the Turkey Red variety was also obtained from the Maryland experiment station. None of these did so well as the Nebraska variety did so well with the possible exception of Kansas Turkey. Contrary to expectations, this wheat matured earlier than the Nebraska Turkey Red. It did not lodge and not badly infected with rust. In these respects it was the Nebraska-grown wheat. Both the Ohio and Iowa Turkey Red lodged and rusted badly and matured later than the Nebraska Turkey Red. The Currell from Maryland made a ranker growth than the Nebraska Currell, but lodged and rusted badly. It is the aim of the experiment station to extend the area of winter-wheat culture over as large a portion of the state as possible. To this end a very large number of varieties of winter wheat have been tested by the station during a period of several years. Those strains of Turkey Red and Big Frame varieties that have been grown on the station farm for several years have proven themselves very hard. Seed wheat of either one of these varieties will be sent on application, free of cost except transportation charges, as long as the supply lasts, to parties living north of the Platte River and also to those west of the one hundred meridian.—T.

His features were cast in the regular mold, yet no one thought of saying he was handsome. "Not bad looking," accompanied by E was tall and strongly built. His features were cast in the regular mold, yet no one thought of saying he was handsome. "Not bad looking," accompanied by a shrug of the shoulders, was generally the acme of praise awarded Justin Seymour. He had fine, dark eyes—eyes which looked at you half searchingly, half suspiciously—eyes which told you in a glance that he had little faith in his fellow men. But no cynical light gleamed in those eyes now, for they rested on the earnest face of Myra Blaine. Myra's earnestness was too much for him—his cynicism vanished before it. She talked to him as no one had talked to him before; she cast some influence over him—an influence he tried to resist at first, but seemingly he yielded to it now, for every morning found him sitting here in this pleasant room, where Myra came with her handwork. "Justin Seymour has considerable of his Satanic Majesty in his composure but I believe, my dear Myra, that he has an attraction for your sex. He been deceived and disappointed he hasn't any faith left, but he's a good sort of fellow, for all that." He was what Philip Aymer. Myuntended husband, said to her the he brought Justin Seymour with on a visit to her father's house, and instantly her pure heart went out in pity to this strong man, who was, he thought, so much in need of a helping hand. Ah, dangerous pity! Myra's embroidery lay in her lap. She had not set a stitch in it for the last fifteen minutes. Her great, earnest violet eyes were raised to Justin Seymour's dark ones, as she sat talking to him. A footstep sounded in the hallway without, and Justin Seymour rose and abruptly quitted the room as Philip Aymer sauntered in. What meant Justin Seymour's sudden departure when Philip entered? This same thing had happened before, but Philip noticed it now for the first time. He looked over at Myra. With cheeks aglow her head was bent over her embroidery; nor did she raise her eyes to see who entered. He crossed over to the window and looked out for several moments, and still Myra did not raise her eyes to look at him. "Myra," he said, suddenly turning from the window, "you are getting interested in 'm Mr. Seymour, or he is getting interested in you—which is it" "Perhaps we are getting interested in each other," said Myra, smiling. "Myra, you should not get interested in Justin Seymour. He is not a good man—he had led a hard life—" "Philip Aymer, for shame! to speak of your friend in such a manner! Do you forget, sir, that you have left this man, who is so very bad—who has led such an awful life—and me to entertain each other every day since you came here?" cried Myra, indignantly. Philip Aymer's face turned scarlet. He crossed over to Myra's side. "Don't touch me, don't! I cannot bear it!" said Myra, drawing from him, and, frightened at her own words, she covered her face with her hands. "So it has come to this!" thought Philip, every vestige of color leaving his face. They were engaged to be married. Their parents had managed the engagement for them while they were too young to do it themselves. But Philip was very well satisfied with the parental arrangement, not that he was desperately in love with Myra, but he liked her, and she possessed a fortune—and money was Philip Aymer's god. And Myra was willing to please her parents. Philip was handsome, she liked him, but love she knew nothing about it until—until just now, when Philip put his arm about her, and she knew just as surely as she did in the days that followed that she loved Jus- in Seymour. "Myra, I think your conduct needs an explanation." "Yes, it does," said Myra, quickly, her hands aropping from her face. "I never understood my own heart till today. Philip, I do not love you; I can never be your wife." "You do not love me, but you love Justin Seymour—a man who never cares for anybody but himself—a rover on the face of the earth; he is here today, and away to-morrow, having faith in no one, caring for no one but himself." "Philip" came reconchally from Myra's lips, but he turned away with a frown, left the room and went in search of Justin Seymour. It was evening of the same day. "Miss Blaine, I am going away to-morrow morning, too early to see you, so I will say good-bye now." The book Myra had been reading fell from her hands, her heart seemed to rise to her throat and suffocate her as Justin Seymour hurriedly entered the room and, making his way over to her side, uttered the above words. It was true, then, what Philip had said. This man would never care anything for her; he was here to-day and away to-morrow. Myra struggled for composure. "This is quite unexpected, Mr. Seymour. I hope we haven't failed to make your visit here a pleasant one?" said Myra, looking straight before her. "Miss Blaine, if it will give you any pleasure to know it, I am leaving your happy home a far better man than I was when I entered it." Myra looked up quickly and met the dark eyes of Justin Seymour fixed tenderly upon her. "Oh, I am so glad, Mr. Seymour!" she cried in her old, impulsive, earnest manner, and, laying her hand upon his arm, she continued: "I may never again see you in this world, Mr. Seymour, but I hope you will live so that I shall meet you there——" she was going to add, "where we will know no more parting." "Good-bye, Myra," was all the answer he made her. His voice was husky. For a moment he held her hand in his, and the next Myra was alone. Myra sat in a dazed state where he left her. Again she heard him call her Myra, again she felt his hand tremling like a leaf. And this man cared nothing for her. A year passed away. Myra Blaine was visiting an aunt in a distant village. It was Sunday, and she sat in the village church by her aunt's side, sat electrified, listening to that rich, powerful voice that led the village choir. Surely, there was but one owner for that voice. "Who is it that leads the singing, aunt?" said Myra, carelessly, after services, as she walked across the churchyard with her aunt. "It is Mr. Seymour. Do you like his singing?" "I think I know Mr. Seymour," said Myra, instead of answering her aunt's question. "Has he lived here long?" "This is his native place. He was away from here quite a while, though. He must have sowed his wild oats while he was away, for since he came back he is a changed man. There is his mother's grave." Myra paused before the handsome monument which her aunt pointed out, on which was inscribed that simple, but most beautiful of all names, "My Mother." "I will remain here a little while, aunt," said Myra, and her aunt left her. How long she stood there leaning against the railing she didn't know. She was roused by the sound of a footstep on the gravel walk near her. She was not in the least surprised, but he drew back as if doubting his eyesight. Myra held out her hand. "Mr. Seymour, this is, indeed, a strange meeting." "Mrs. Aymer," was all he said, as he took her proffered hand. "My name is not Mrs. Aymer; I am still Myra Blaine," said Myra, smiling. "You are not Mrs. Aymer" cried Justin, his eyes beaming with delight. "Before I bade you good-bye that evening a year ago Phill told me that you were to be his wife in a few weeks." "Philip Aymer told an untruth. I was nothing to him that night. The engagement between him and me was broken that morning," said Myra, with downcast eyes and blushing cheeks. He took courage from the expression of her face. Her hand was still in his, and he put his arm about her now. "Myra, here at my mother's grave, let me tell you that it was because I loved you that I left you so abruptly that evening. I could not stay to see you his wife." "And it was because I loved you a year ago that I refused to marry him," said Myra, softly. And at last her pure love was crowned with happiness—New York News. Chippanzee With a History. The zoological garden at Cincinnati, Ohio, has purchased a big chimpanzee from Hagenbeck, of Hamburg. It is larger than the famous Pat Rooney II., who died last April, and has an interesting history. It was purchased by one of Oom Paul's secretaries from a trader, and he taught it many tricks. The animal was so affectionate that he took it with him on his travels with the army, and about a month ago he was captured by some British soldiers. One of Hagenbeck's agents saw the animal, and, as it was so intelligent, and chimpanzees being almost extinct, he purchased it, paying a good price. Ever since Pat Rooney II.'s death the Cincinnati zoo has had a standing order with Hagenbeck for a chimpanzee, and as soon as the concern heard that its agent had secured such a fine specimen the management of the zoo was notified.

The poor man who is going down hill needs a substantial check. Secretary of State Hay is one of the most patient of men. He likes to be helpful to newspaper correspondents, and receives them freely in his office and gives them such information and hints as the proprieties will permit. Even the representatives of the sensational or yellow papers are treated with courtesy, though naturally with due caution. Imagine the secretary's surprise one afternoon during the heat of the Chinese crisis, says Walter Wellman, when he was up to his ears in work and anxiety, to hear from the lips of William, his faithful messenger, these words: "Mr. Secretary, the New York _____ wants you to step to the telephone." Mr. Hay gasped, caught his tongue in the nick of time, recovered his diplomatic urbanity, and replied: "Say that the secretary expresses deep regret that just at this moment he is very much engrossed in important work." Unfortunately what he said under his breath could not, under the rules of the telephone exchange, be sent over the wires. NO! FOR OKLAHOMA!
