A great man does not always attain a ripe old age; in fact, hardly half of the greatest men of modern and ancient times have reached the limit of age set by the Bible.

Repulsive Canned and Unconcerned There is a widespread disapprehension in regard to the devastating effect of high exposives. When unconfined the effect even of large charges of them upon structures is comparatively slight. At the naval ordinance proving ground, so long ago as 1884, repeated charges of dynamite, varying from five pounds to 100 pounds in weight, were detonated on the face of a vertical target consisting of eleven one-inchrought-iron plates bolted to a twenty-oak backing, until 440 pounds of dynamite had been so detonated in contact with it, and yet the target remained practically uninjured, while at Braamfontein the accidental explosion of fifty-Ave tons of blasting gelatin, which was stored in railway vans, elevated but 30,000 tons of soft earth. Thus at Fort Lee, on the Hudson, but two tons of dynamite placed in a chamber in the rock and tamped brought down 100,000 tons of the rock; at Lambers, Wales, two tons and a half of gelatin dynamite, similarly placed, threw out 180,000 tons of rock, and at the Talcen Maur, in Wales, seven tons of gunpowder placed in two chambers in the rock dislodged from 123,800,000 tons of rock. ```markdown ``` KITCHENEES REPORT MADE. Seven Officers and Fifty Six Men Were Held at Vandouglin. London, June 5—Lord Kitchener in a dispatch from Pretoria says: "Dixon's report of the fighting at Vladfontein, forty miles from Johannesburg, May 29. just received. On our side, 1,450 men with seven guns were engaged. The returning to camp at Vladfontein filled the mud cover of a weld fire, rushed the rear guard, consisting of two of the Twenty-eighth battery and 330 men of the Derbyshires and the Yeomanry. They temporarily captured two guns. When the remainder of the force came into action the 330 men were recaptured and the Boer position was occupied.

Forty-one Boers were killed on the ground. The further Boer casualties are known. Reinforcements are being sent." London, June 5—The war office last night published the following dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, June 4: "Jamestown (Cape Colony) surrendered to Kitzmern in the afternoon and after four hours' fighting. The town guard and local volunteers were overpowered before our pursuing columns could come up. Our casualties were three killed and two wounded. The Boer loss is said to have been greater. The stores were wooled, but the enemy had been placed Gen, French in charge of the positions in Cape Colony." CUBANS HAVE SUSPICIONS. Thought That Flatt Amendment May Now Be Wholly Rejected New York, June 6.—A dispatch to the Herald from Havana says: "There is a strong impression here that it will be impossible to effect the acceptance of the Platt amendment a second time. A secret session has been called to take action concerning the form of the resolution adding that the Platt amendment would with the understanding that it means what the Washington commission reported that Secretary Root said it meant. "The conservatives say that the majority report of the committee on resolutions accepting the Platt amendment, including Secretary Root's interpretations, was first submitted to the president in a letter it satisfactory, but requested that the full text of the amendment be incorporated. This, they say, was done and Secretary Root approved it. "Several delegates attribute the attitude of the government to the decision of the supreme court in the insular cases, and suppose that the desire of the Washington government to impose direct over Cuba than the Platt amendment contemplates." NEW EXPLOSIVE IS ADOPTED. Maximite Is So Powerful That It May Resolutionize Warfare. New York, June 5- Maximite, the new explosive invented by Hudson Maxim, has been adopted by this country after a series of successful tests at the Sandy Hook proving grounds. The secret of the explosive has been sold to the government by the inventor, and the explosive, it is thought, may revolutionize warfare. It is especially in its character than yldite, yet so safely can it be handled that the danger attaching to its use is less than that incurred in transporting ordinary black powder. In an interview Mr. Maxim said: "Should the United States now become involved in war with any other power, we will be able to throw high explosive projectiles through the thickest armor of our enemies to explode inside their warships, while they in turn would be able only to penetrate our armor with solid shot, paying no bursting charge whatever." He thought the moral of these new developments is that the ponderous battleship must go, and be replaced by the small, swift torpedo boat or torpedo gunbat and cruiser. ALL SPAIN IN A FURORE. Situation Throughout the Country Is Believed to Be Ethical. Madrid, June 6.—The situation throughout Spain remains critical.

The railway men have struck at Vigo, and anarchist excitement is rife in Barcelona, where the "Reds" met in defiance of the civil governor's prohibition and passed secret resolutions. Senator Gamezo, leader of the disbanded opposition, interview characterized the crisis as "an exceedingly grave moment for Spain," adding: "The government must act with great energy with regard to the catalan and separatist movement to prevent the result from being irremediated." REFUSE TO GIVE AN INCH Prospect for Settlement With Machalists on Coast Is Gloomy. San Francisco, June 6.—The prospect for settling the Mechanists' strike is poorer perhaps today than it has been any day since May 20.

MADE A GHASTLY FIND. Remains of Thirteen Human Beings Known in an Embankment. Denison, June 5. - Section men on the Illinois Central have made a ghastly discovery about two and a half miles below Deloit. They saw some bones protruding from the top of a cut where the bank had caved in and upon investigation they were found to be human bones, which were buried about a foot below the surface of the ground. The bones had been there so long and were so near the surface that they were partially buried during the removal. Eleven complete skulls were found and several other pieces, so that the men believe that there were thirteen bodies buried together. They were taken back some distance and buried in a new grave. One of the skulls and one of the shin bones had been apparently perforated, but on account of the disintegrated condition of the remains nothing definite could be ascertained about the cause of their death. No arrows were found, and it is not known even to what race they belonged. The oldest settlers, who have been here fifty years, can throw no light on the subject, so the mystery is not likely to be cleared up.

Excursion trains were run from all directions, and upward of 1,000 came from Dubuque alone. The exercises were held in a large pavilion engaged for the occasion. The home is located on the western outskirts of the city, and is a dissonant structure, beautifully situated. Sympathy is like a game of blindman's buff—a fellow feeling for a fellow mortal. DR.

METZGAR FOR COMMANDER. Elected by Unanimous Vote of Grand Army Men. Dubuque, June 5.—The most important business before the state encompassed of the G. A. R. was the reading of the annual reports. Commander Davis's report covered a wide range of subjects. He also participated particularly in his criticism of the construction placed upon laws by the pension department.

At the beginning of the year there were 434 posts in good standing in the department, according to the records, but during the year there were 433 posts in good standing. Two of the posts surrendered their charters and the rest of the decrease is accounted for by the fact that posts from which no report had been received for some years were dropped from the rolls.

Dubuque, June 7.—The Grand Army encampment closed with the installation of officers. Eighteen delegates and eighteen alternates to the national encampment were chosen. These were appointed a council of administration: D. W. McElroy of Keounk, Wm. D. of Tupelo, G. L. Des Moines, G. H. Welsh Boone and W. H. Barker of Sioux City. The state G. A. R. encampment today decided to meet at Des Moines next year. Conductor Lukens Killed. Bassey, June 4.—Conductor George Luken, in charge of the Wabash morning passenger train, was almost instantly killed here. He jumped off the train at the railroad crossing near the station, as is his custom, and was violently thrown to the ground. He was picked up and the train started on its way. He was to have been taken to the hospital at Albia, but died at Hamilton, the first station east of here. Stopped Escaping Gurglar New Hampton, June 7—Charles F. Johnson, charged with burglary, was shot twice while trying to escape. He got from behind the bars for a few minutes to consult an attorney, and saw an opportunity to escape. Sheriff John B. Hammond, at him, two of them taking effect. The prisoner was returned to the jail. Babe Dles While Drunk. Davenport, June 4.—Dora, the four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Schmidt, was found dead in bed yesterday morning. The child in bed was a girl, who had been drinking and whisky for a cold. After the parents had retired it got up and drank a gill of whisky yet remaining in the bottle. Alarmed at Dora not awakening at the usual time, the parents were taken to the hospital her life had gone out while she slept. coroner refrained a verdict of death from acute alcoholic intoxication. Abundance of dollars begets indifference to pennies. NEWS IN GENERAL SOUTH CAROLINA INCIDENT. Both Resignations Withdrawn, But McLaurin Again Leads. Columbia, S. C. June 6—Senator Tillman, protesting against the governor's right to reject the senatorial resignation, last night withdrew his resignation. In his letter to Governor McSweeney, Senator Tillman says: "My chief regret is that I am forced by your action to engage in it, but the outside world will consider a game of my resignation after Senator McLaurin's undignified and puerile action; but the purpose for which it was tendered has been thwarted by Senator McLaurin's precipitous acceptance of executive advice. Bob Acres has been outdone for once. I have already said I had no motive or purpose in resigning except to force me to resign; it is nothing for 'me to do but accept the situation and withdraw my own resignation, if it be lawful to do so." Columbia, S. C., June 6.—With the governor's "last word" at Senator Tillman and the withdrawals of the senator's resignation all would seem to be over, but last night Senator McLaurin, after speaking to the senator, made the declaration that if Tillman will now tender to the governor the unconditional surrender of his office, he (McLaurin) would consider this a direct challenge to him and would likewise resign and enter the contest for Tillman's place. COLD WEATHER IN OREGON Mercury Fall Six Degrees Below the Freezing Point at Baker City. Baker City, Ore, June 7.—The coldest June weather for a period of twenty years has been recorded at Baker City. The mercury fell six degrees below the freezing point. Ice over an inch thick was formed in pools of water on the streets. All fruit, such as cherries, apples, pears, prunes and plums were killed and frozen. Ice formed by far as known growing grain was not seriously injured. Boise, Idaho, June 7.—This vicinity was visited by a severe frost, the like of which has not been known at this season for fifteen years. The government weather bureau at Boise reports a temperature of 30, while phases throughout the valley report temperatures as low as 26 degrees. Fruit is damaged seriously, though the extent of the loss cannot yet be determined. In the Grande Ronde valley of Oregon there was snow. DISMISSED FROM WEST POINT Charles S. Perry of Iowa Detected Drinking at a Newburgh Bar. West Point, N. Y., June 6.—Two cadets, members of the coming first class, have been summarily dismissed from the United States Military academy. They were Stephen B. Verner of Syracuse, N. Y., and Charles S. Perry of Iowa. They were court-martialed upon a charge of having falsely obtained permission to have the grant his thesis, and having been granted them they were subsequently detected by an army officer, drinking at a bar in Newburgh. They were dismissed without travel pay and started for home immediately. Fifty-six of the fifty-nine men who were appointed cadets to the military academy since March 1, last, report that they were dismissed yesterday. Among them were B. M. Gibson and John Land of Iowa and J. B. Shouse of South Dakota. CONDITION IS STILL UNIMPROVED Washington, June 5—Dr. Rixey was at the white house an hour and a half last evening and on leaving at 10:30 in answer to inquiries concerning Mrs. McKinley's condition, said: "There has been no important change in Mrs. McKinley's condition. She is resting very comfortably. 06 course there are fluctuations in her condition; at times she is better and at times worse, but she is certainly not losing ground. In fact, she is possibly gaining very slowly. There is no more immediate danger now that she has been for some time." A visitor at the white house last night said that it was conceded that Mrs. McKinley was in a very grave condition. There was hope of the outcome, he said, but it was a very slender hope. ROUTS BEYER'S COMMAND. Colonel Wilson and Kitchener's Scouts in a Successful Attack. Pretoria, June 7.—Col. Wilson, with 240 of Kitchener's scouts, has surprised and routed 400 Boers belonging to Beyer's command, thirty-four miles west of Warmbaths. The Boers resisted stubbornly, but finally broke a hundred prisoners and all their warges and supplies, including 8,000 cattle, in the hands of the British. The loss of the latter was three men killed and fifteen wounded. Later Beyer's main command arrived on the scene soon after the envelopment to recapture the supplies. Beyer was thus left practically without any transport or supplies. Desperate Act of Prisoners. Toronto, June 5- Routledge, Rice and Jones, the three men extradited from Chicago on the charge of burglary, were being transferred in a cab from the court to jail when a man was arrested. The robbers shot Constable Body dead and jumped from the cab and boarded a street ear, which they attempted to seize. The motorman struck Routledge over the head with a motor bar, carrying him, and the other two were captured after both had been wounded. Protest Against Land Opening. Guthrie, O. T., June 4—Chiefs De los, Lone Wolf and Quannah Parker and one thousand other Indians of the Comanche and Kiowa tribes are holding a council at Anadarko for the purpose of selecting a delegation to Washington to protest against the opening of the Indian reservations. It is asserted that if Col. Randlett allows them to go to the national capital a great many state secrets of how the allotments and the selection of the pasture lands have been made, will be dilugulged. Never shun a duty, but proceed cheerfully to do it. CIVIL PLANS GO FORWARD. No Extra Session of Congress Over the Philippines. Washington, June 5.—The cabinet has unanimously decided that existing conditions do not warrant the calling of an extra session of congress this summer. Secretary Root and Attorney General Knox both rendered legal opinions to the effect that authority to govern the Philippines vested in the amendment was ample. These opinions were concurred in by all the members of the cabinet. It can be authoritatively stated that the Dingley rates upon goods from the Philippines entering the United States will remain in force as heretofore. The president will put into effect such changes in the tariff duties on goods going into the Philippines as the Taft commission may recommend. The establishment of the government in the archipelago can proceed without interruption as soon as the military authorities consider the time ripe for its establishment. MISSIONARIES ARE EATEN German Expedition Attacked on Saint Flatthias. Berlin, June 7.—The Tagblatt prints special correspondence from New Guinea; containing a full account of the massacre of the members of the first German South Sea expedition on the cannibal islands of St. Matthias. They were all killed and eaten save a Dr. Heinroth. The Colonial Zeitung, the official organ of the German colonial society, furnishes details of the massacre. It seems that the vessel which carried the expedition to the island of St. Matthias left after a few days for Herbertsho, New Britain, to get coal and fresh supplies. During its absence the savages, who had hitherto appeared friendly, although known to be rabid cannibals, planned to kill and rob the party. The plot was carried out one morning while the members of the expedition, who had a body guard of forty men, were attacked by rifles, which they had taken apart. Suddenly eighty of the islanders broke from the bushes, raising fierce war cries, and brandishing spears with which they stabbed to death the leader of the party. Dr. Mencken (heretofore cabled as Merkee or Mencke), his secretary, Herr Caro, and a white sailor, who was asleep under a tent. Dr. Heinroth emptied his revolver into his assailants, while the body guard in the meantime retired to the boats with the wounded and Dr. Heinroth, leaving twelve dead. The boats put off to an island not far distant, where the expeditionary vessel rescued them. Subsequently the survivors returned to the island of St. Matthias, where they found that the bodies had been devoured and the camp absolutely looted. ALARM IN THE PHILIPPINES Resnit of Porto Rican Decision Feared by Filipinos. Manila, June 7.—The fragmentary news received here of the Porto Rico decisions has caused apprehension that there will be such a deficit in the Philippine revenues that congress will need to make an appropriation to meet it. Fears are also expressed as to the result of the application of jury trials and other features of the constitution not suited to the conditions of the Philippines. Congress are preparing claims for a refunding of the duties paid. General Chaffee and his staff were conveyed direct to the Malacanan palace today, where a private conference between Generals Chaffee and MacArthur took place. General Chaffee informed the correspondent of the Associated Press that while he was not sure of the Orientals' general capacity for self-government, he favored the establishment of civil control in the Philippines at the earliest practical moment. He was in full sympathy with the commission's plan for native development because the United States' interests and naval interests lie in the same line. CARNEGIE GIFT REVISED: University Heads Thought the Proposed Plan Imptactable. London, June 7.—The principals of the four Scotch universities—Glasgow, Edinburgh, St. Andref's and Aberdeen—to the free students of which Carnegie munificently gave $7,500,000, have decided that the scheme proposed for the utilization of the gift is impracticable. So Mr Carnegie has consented to place his gift in the principal's bank. The secretary for Scotland, who is now engaged in consultation with the principals and drawing up a modified scheme. The money will now be applied mainly, if not wholly, to an endowment for scientific and technical instruction, in which the Scotch universities are far behind those of America and the continent. The principals would prefer to have the money given in a lump sum to each university, leaving to the discretion of the governing bodies how it should be applied; but Mr. Carnegie does not take the same view. Russian Loss in China. London, June 5.—The Exchange Telegraph company has published a dispatch from St. Petersburg saying the Russian casualty list in China, including the storming of Peking, the officers and 632 men killed or died of wounds. A good many people who are struggling for luxuries imagine that they are struggling for an existence. WALDERSEE LEAVES PERING. Peking, June 4.—The departure of Field Marshal Count von Waldersee from Peking was marked by a great military display by the allied troops, the booming of artillery and the playing of bands. The entire diplomatic body escorted the field marshal to the depot. Von Roech, the aide-de-camp, and nephew of Count von Waldersee, will receive the escort Prince Chuan, the emperor's escort Berlin, where he will formally apologize in behalf of China for the murder of Baron von Ketteler. NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL Des Moines, June 7, 1901. The statement of the condition of the state and savings banks of Iowa at the close of business April 24, compiled from free reports furnished in response to the recent call for that date, has been issued by Auditor Merriam. It shows a tremendous growth in the amount of money on deposit in the state and savings banks since the last statement was issued, based on reports at the close of business December 13. The increase in deposits in April 24 was $14,493,921.69. Since June 30, 1900, the increase in the amount due depositors has exceeded $21,000,000. In the same period the number of state and savings banks transacting business in the state has increased from 448 to 472. The statement of the condition of the savings banks shows that at the close of business April 24 they had assets of $53,642,085.25, and liabilities of the same amount. The sum due depositors in savings banks was $71,755,804.75. The number of savings banks shown by the tatement is 255. There were 217 state banks at the close of business April 24, with total assets of $53,625,013.80. The amount due depositors in the state banks was $40,709,459.55. Secretary of State Martin has indicated his intenton to follow the law pertaining to the compensation of the state binder strictly. If this policy is followed out it will mean a saving of the state of several thousand dollars. Mr. Martin was recently called upon to pass a bill for binding the fire insurance report of the auditor. The bill submitted was at the rate of $720 for the 4,500 paper bound copies called for by statute. The proper compensation for the binder as Mr. Martin figured it according to law would be $297.10. Mr. Martin has refused to allow the bill presented at the rate of $720, instead the rate making a difference of $429.00 on this single job of work to the state. As the life insurance report is to follow shortly and a number of others, there is no question the new policy will effect a saving of several thousand dollars a year to the state. The state board of control has modified its order prohibiting the use of tobacco by convicts and hereafter the weed will be allowed in limited amounts to all first and second class prisoners the grade to be established by the behavior of the convicts. At a meeting of the executive council it was decided to ask all county auditors for statistics that will aid the council in equalizing real estate taxation at the meeting to be held for that purpose the second Monday in July. The plan is to have furnished a list of real estate transfers to each of which the same dates ten, twenty and thirty days with the consideration of the transfer and the taxable valuation. Considerable criticism of the action of the council in assessing railroads has been made and the council is endeavoring to arrive at some arrangement whereby the assessments can be fairly and equitably considered. The board of control has prepared a statement showing the sums of money expended at the different state institutions for music, musical supplies and instruction in the year 1900, and other facts of interest pertaining to music in the institutions. The total outlay on music in the year 1900 is shown by the report to have been $8,643.54. The board is thoroughly converted to the belief that music is of formidable value in caring for the wards of the state, and that the expenditures for music are productive of good results. "Some of the patients in the hospitals," said Judge Kinne, "sit for hours listening to music and appear to be completely up and entranced by it. Strangely up and entranced by it, of the best and the better it is the more they enjoy it. One might think that something like Yankee Doodle would be as serviceable as anything, but that is not the case. For the most part, the orchestra at the institutions render nothing but classical selections and they are thoroughly appreciated." Articles of incorporation of the Des Moines, Nevada & Eldora Railway company have been filed for record with the county auditor. The authorized capital stock is $50,000, with the right reserved to increase this later on, while provision is made for a bonded debt of $16,000 a mile long. The propriators are J. S. Polk, president of Des Moines City Railway company; H. H. Polk, president of the Des Moines Interurban Railway company; Simon Casady, of the Des Moines Savings bank; G. B. Hippee and A. G. Malish, of the Des Moines City Railway company; F. C. McCall and Park S. Davis, of Nevada, and Judge John Porter and Mark J. Furry of Eldora. H. H. Polk is president, Mr. Casady, treasurer, Mr. Swayze, vice president, and Mr. Hippee, superintendent. The purpose is to build an electric car from a connection with the Des Moines Railway, through Nevada to Eldora, in Hardin county, and eventually to extend it north and east. Both Resignations Are Refused Columbia S. C. June 3.—Governor McSweeney has rejected the resignation of Senators Tillman and McLaurin to give them time to consider their action. Fire in Forbidden City. Pekin, June 6.—Lightning struck a building inside the gate of the American end of the forbidden city, causing a fire. Three buildings were burned. The American and Japanese guards did all possible to prevent a spread of the flames. A heavy rain saved the forbidden city. One of the buildings burned was a library containing many valuable manuscripts and numerous historical records of the dynasty. Due care should be exercised that we offend no one. What a blessing a contented state of mind is. Mildred Trevanion BY THE DUCHESS. CHAPTER III. Miss Frances Syllerton, only daughter and heiress of Lionel Syllerton, Esq., of Syllerton Park, was the most intimate friend that the Trevanions possessed. She was about Mildred's height, and was not altogether unlike that young lady in respect of features, though differing widely from her both in expression and general demeanor. She had handsome eyes and fair brown hair, a good-humored mouth, and a beautiful manner of holding herself. She was quick-witted, clever and affectionate, could talk a good deal of slang without appearing in the least vulgar, and was rather fast and independent, according to the usual rules laid down for the proper guidance of young women. what is due to 'birth and position,' as Dame Deverill has it. Being strangers too, they cannot be up to all my frightful crimes and misdemeanors just yet, you know; and so I dare say they will be gracious to me until I frighten the daughter and young Younge—there is a 'young Younge, isn't there?" "Oh, yes," Mildred answered, with a shrug of her pretty, uncivil shoulders which showed plainly that she wished there was not. "Oh, well—who knows?—perhaps he will condescend to fall in love with me," chattered on Miss Syllerton. "only I forgot—of course he is head over ears in love with one of you two girls long before this." Which of them is it?"—appealing to Lady Caroline. She was a stanch friend to all the Trevantons, from Sir George down, except, indeed, Charles, between whom and herself there seemed to exist a perpetual warfare, a guerrilla sort of entertainment that smoldered occasionally only to break out again with redoubled energy. Just now the contest was at its height, and Charles Trevanton had left home the last time to join his regiment without so much as riding over to Sylverton to touch his enemy's hand before his departure. This was an unheard-of piece of incivility, and proved clearly that something more even than common had occurred between the belligerents, though what that something was history reported not. Eddie was a prime favorite of Miss Sylverton's; his affected insolence just suited her rather excitable temperament, and so they argued, and quarreled, and abused, and liked each other persistently from year to year. She had gone, a week before Younges' arrival at King's Abbott, to spend a month with an uncle of her's an adjoining county and so was not expected back for some time—a great source of regret to the Trevanians. Said Lady Caroline to her daughter Mildred about a week after the Younges' advent: "Mildred, my dear, whom shall we ask to meet them the day after tomorrow?" "You mean Monday," said Mildred—"well, let me see. We have shown them to the Gruntieys and the Blounts, so I suppose we had better say the Deverills, and perhaps the Stanleys, and—oh, two or three of those men from the barracks, and that will be enough." "Yes, quite enough," her mother returned, though rather dejectedly. "The only thing is, Mildred, those Deveril girls are so provokingly stupid. Mary is well enough if her mother would let her alone; but Jane is—Oh, how I do wish Frances Sylverton was at home!" "So do I," said Mildred, "with all my heart. But where is the use of wishing? We all know Frances is worth half a dozen of them put together; but saying that won't bring her." "Won't it?" cried Frances Sylvester's own voice gayly; and then the door was pushed farther open, and Frances herself entered joyously, dressed in blue cloth from shoulder to foot, with the daintiest riding-hat imaginable, and proceeded to kiss them both immediately. "So I am worth half a dozen of them," she exclaimed. "Poor creatures! How I do wonder who they are!" "Good gracious, Frances," cried Mildred "who could have expected you!" dred, "who could have expected you?" "My dear," said Lady Caroline, "I am so very glad to see you. You have come just at the very time we most wanted you, and were beginning to feel your loss most severely. But how is it that you are here? I fancied your uncle had you safely for a month to come." "Oh, we quarreled, as usual," explained Miss Sirlylent, alir—"all but came to blows, you know, and separated by mutual consent, which was a great relief for all parties concerned. I cannot think why he asks me down there to his musty old Grange—as he persists in doing once a year regularly—as it always ends in the same way. We are at daggers-drawn now, but, bless you, I shall get a long, affectionate invitation from him, if he is alive, this time next year precisely. I suppose he feels that a downright good 'blowing-up,' such as he gets from me, is beneficial to his constitution—something like a tonic, or a douche bath—and that is why he continues his obitine hospitality." "I am afraid you are a terrible child," laughed Lady Caroline; "but I am sufficiently interested in your return to make all manner of excuses for you, as I want your help next Monday night to entertain some friends we have staying with us." "Oh, yes—papa was telling me of them," said Frances; and then she stopped. "They are cotton merchants, old friends of papa's, and of no family whatever." Mildred explained, calmly; and, though she neither blushed nor looked confused, Miss Sylverton could see plainly that it was a sore subject. "What a comfort," said she, briskly. "I am seasick of all this cold, good blood that surrounds us. You need not look shocked, Mildred, because I am, and feel quite gay and festive at the mere idea of being in company of anybody who cannot remind me of what is due to 'birth and position,' as Dame Deverill it. Being strangers, too, they cannot be up to all my frightful crimes and misdeemances just yet, you know; and so I dare say they will be gracious to me until I frighten the daughter and young Younge—there is a 'young Younge,' isn't there? "Oh, yes," Mildred answered, with a shrug of her pretty, uncivil shoulders, which showed plainly that she wished there was not. "Oh, well—who knows?—perhaps he will condescend to fall in love with me," chattered on Miss Sylverton; "only I forgot—of course he is head over ears in love with one of you two girls long before this." Which of them is it? "—appealing to Lady Caroline. "My dear Frances," said her ladyship, "he has been here only a week or so and is a necessity that he must lose his heart in that space of time? He shoots all day with Eddle, and sees Mildred at dinner time, and talks to Mabel for half an hour before bedtime—and that is the extent of his love-making. So, you see, the field is quite open to you." "I see," Miss Sylverton rejoined, turning her clear violet eyes first on Lady Caroline and then on Mildred; "he talks to Mabel—which means that Mildred will not look at him, in spite of his unlimited thousands. Well, I thank heaven I was not born with aristocratic tendencies; and I think Mabel is right. I be handsome?" "Very," answered Lady Caroline, seeing that Mildred would not open her lips on the subject. "Rich, handsome and young, in every sense of the word," cried Frances, gayly "why, what more is wanting? With your permission, Lady Caroline, and without Mabel's, I shall certainly marry this young man," and then the door opened, and Eddie came into the room. "Frank!" he exclaimed, with undisguised delight; "my dear fellow, is it indeed you? I never anticipated such a happy surprise when I came here to hunt my pipe. Why, what has brought you home so soon? Is it indeed your very self in the flesh?" "Rather," said Miss Sylverton. "It came to this you see, that, as usual I couldn't see the old boy's line of conduct, and so I bolted, quite as much to his relief as my own." "I can readily believe that," put in Eddie innocently. "Besides, the country down there was stupid, and I was getting bored to death." went on Frances. "Can't you say out boldly and honestly that you couldn't do without me?" said Eddie mischievously; and Miss Syltervon instantly rose to the combat. "You shall have your ears soundly boxed for that piece of unwarrantable impertinence," she declared, and laid down her little silver mounted riding whip preparatory to commencing operations. Having chased Eddie successfully into a corner presently, Miss Syltervoun laid her pretty hands about his ears with great rapidity, until he had cried peccavi several times, when she desisted, and they both looked up to see Denzil Younge standing in the doorway, laughing heartily at the whole encounter. He looked so extremely handsome, and the entire scene was so out of keeping with all propriety, that for once in her life Miss Syltervon blushed crimson. "You there—and you never came to my rescue!" said Edde when he had recovered his breath, looking reproachfully at Denzil as he spoke. "Well, I would not have believed it of you. However, the longer we live, the more we learn, and I suppose it is the way of the world. Miss Sylverton—Mr. Younge." "Oh, Mr. Younge, indeed I did not know you were there." Miss Sylverton murmured, demurely, looking as if she could not hurt a fly to save her life; "and, besides, Eddie and I are such old friends." Here she made the discovery that she was excusing her conduct to a strange young man—a thing Miss Sylverton had never before been guilty of. "Well, wonders will never cease. I declare she is actually ashamed of herself," exclaimed Eddie, who was enjoying her unwanted confusion immensely. "I verily believe she is blushing." "No, I am not," returned Miss Sylverton, promptly, quite ready now for a war of words—or from it. "If that is how you treat your friends," broke in Danzil, "I should like very much indeed to put my name upon your list, Miss Syllerton." "Would you?" she said coquettishly. "Are you not frightened? Well if you behave pretty and make up your mind to endure a good deal of ill-treatment. I dare say I shall be able to make room for you. But I must have time to judge of you first." "Thanks, and for how long am I to be put on trial? Don't make it too long," pleaded Denzil, in his lazy, musical voice. For the life of him he never could refrain from softening his tone when addressing a pretty woman. "For just one week," answered Frances. "I could understand Machiavell himself in a week, so next Friday you may come to me for my decision." "In the meantime, Miss Trevanlon, I hope you will put in a good word for me," Denzel said, turning to where Mildred was standing. "Certainly. I will even put in two for you on this occasion—it is such an important one," Miss Trevion turned, smiling on him her sweet smile, which somehow had the effect of sending the blood throbbing back into his heart; and then the conversation changed. "Where is Mabel?" Frances asked presently. "I have seen nothing of either her or Sir George." "Papa went to Pinchley Common an hour ago," Mildred answered; "but I can imagine where Mabel has hidden himself so effectually." "I think he went with Rachel into the garden," Denzel said, "at least they were talking of examining some flowers when I last saw them." She came in a few moments later with Rachel Younge, and, seeing Frances, dropped all her flowers upon the floor. "Frances!" she exclaimed, and ran forward and kissed her friend with honest, undisguised delight; after which Miss Younge was introduced, and made the faintest, stiffest little inclination in return for Frances, careless, graceful bow. "She is unbearable," Miss Sylverton assured herself upon the spot, and then told Mabel all about her unexpected return. "And now that I have succeeded so fortunately," she added, "in getting out of the lion's clutches without suffering any severe damage, I think the county ought to celebrate my escape by some public rejoicing. Don't youthink so, Mildred? And don't you think it is high time old Dick Blount gave us a ball?" "It does seem a long time since last he gave one," Miss Trevion answered, assentingly. "A dreadful time," declared Frances, who was in the habit of adorning her conversation with innumerable notes of admiration, mingled with startling adjectives—"so long a time that I have quite forgotten what I wore at the last! I say, Eddie, have you finished the ration of that desk? Because, if so, I should like you to get a horse and ride over with me to the Grange, when we will find Dick, and make him give us a dance before next week is ended. What do you say to my plan?" "I am willing," Eddie said, and left the room to order his horse. "I vote that we all go," exclaimed Mabel. Why not order the pony phaeton and accompany them? It is a charming drive." "Charming—and so is your idea," Mildred said; "only I don't think I will go. Mab, my dear." "Oh, why not, Mildred, when there will be plenty of room?" cried Mabel. "You and Mr. Younge can sit in front, and Rachael and I behind. Do come, my dearest." "Not today, thank you," Miss Trevian returned, blushing faintly. "An' if she won't she won't." quoted Mabel, "Mr. Younge, I have failed, so I leave you to try the power of your persuasions while we go and dress—I dare say you will be more successful. Come Rachel!"—and then she and Miss Younge went out of the room. Mildred prepared to follow. "Miss Trevanion. I wish you would come with us." Denzil said, softly eagerly, as he held the door open for her. "The drive will not be the same thing without you. Will you come?" "It is very good of you to wish it," she answered, bestowing upon him for the second time that morning, her beautiful, indifferent smile, "but I do not think I will—thanks." "Why not?" he asked, impatiently, still standing before her, and gazing almost angrily down into her calm, unutterably lovely face. "Why not? Tell me." Miss Trevanion raised her eyes and looked full at him. (To be continued.) "Waterfalls" Are Threatened A few attempts are being made to lower the chignon, to bring the back hair into a low coll. In full evening toilette certain types of women, those who are tall, wide of shoulder, and having well formed, but small heads, look their best colfee in this manner. And with a single large rose worn low on the left, this style of hair dressing is fairly ideal in grace. But folly would it be for every woman to follow this lead, as the majority of them loss all cachet with their hair worn low on the neck. Surely for day wear nothing could be devised so unbecoming as it is not difficult to recall the Launtry days, and the untidy coll of hair resting upon the necks of bodices.—Vogue. Fresh Air for Consumptives. The fresh air cure for consumption is to be tried in Scotland. A specially built house has been opened at Banchory, on Deeside, for the treatment of consumption and other diseases of the lungs. The institution is to be conducted on the same principle as the Nordach institution in Germany, and months were spent in selecting a site that will give the best air all the year round. Banchory has a fine, dry, drying air, and its winters are mild compared with the rest of the country. The house is constructed to hold forty patients, and it has thirty already. The cost has been £21,000. Alr the Closets. Closets should be aired the same as bedrooms, and the coming architect, if a woman, will see to it that closets in which clothes are hung are provided with a window, but it ever so small, going out to the yard. This window will be so protected that in nearly all weathers it may remain open and supply the closet with fresh air and light. Empty compliments and senseless abuse are on equal footing. GEN. CHAFFEE'S CRITICISM Says Allies Have Forfeited Right to Reproach Chinese. SHOW LACK OF DISCRETION. Natives Are Inflamed by the Unnecessary Expeditions—Protracted Stay of the Foreign Forces Decarated to Have Been an Unlawful Move. Manila, June 7.—General Chaffee has arrived here from China, and is the guest of General MacArthur. General Chaffee, in talking of the Chinese question, said he believed that the allies had lost all their gains by their protracted stay. They had forfeited every right to reproach the Chinese by their persevering aggressiveness, unnecessary expeditions, which had inflamed the natives, and their insistence upon executions, all of which had placed foreigners in a more unfavorable light in Chinese eyes than before the Boxer troubles. Russia's strong influence at the court has been improved by her moderation. General Chaffee went on to say that a settlement of the Chinese question hinges on a satisfactory allotment of the indemnity. He does not expect definite developments until this matter assumes tangibility. The entire attention of the Chinese, the General said, is directed to obtaining the evacuation of the province of Chihli by the foreign troops, and hence they are willing to accede to all reasonable demands. They earnestly desire to resume their government, but the question of guarantees for indemnities is a serious one which will require much patience and forbearance to settle. Meantime lawlessness is spreading in the province, as no imperial troops are allowed there. After the evacuation by the allies the return of normal conditions will be gradual. Until then China will have no opportunity to prove her sincerity. It is manifestly impossible for her to do so before normal conditions are re-established. In conclusion, General Chaffee said that the Chinese problem was not yet solved. He believes that Russia intends to maintain her present influence in North China, but does not intend to extend it, except in Mancheoiria. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

Round entrance halls are a novelty that is taking quite well for more pretentious houses. Summer Upholstery Reversible armures are among the most recently exhibited stuffs for summer upholstery. Old-time glazed chintzes and French cottons are great favorites also. An Ideal Parlor. The concentration of interests in a room is by no means an unworthy study. Many rooms are spelled without it. It has been successfully accomplished in a parlor overlooking a square. One side of the room is taken up with a large bay-window. The other side, at right angles to it, is taken up by the fireplace sunk in a recess, and so carrying out the line of the window. The study of the mistress has been to make two centres to her room, one around the window, which is always charming by day, and one around the fireplace for the night. Her table therefore, with its writing materials and its reading lamps, has been placed in front of the fireplace, with two easy-chairs before it, where she and her husband can read when the logs are lighted. On the left of the table there is a soft facing the window with its pretty view, while grouped before it are more chairs. Here she takes her afternoon tea. Harper's Bazar. Freezing Furs-and Meths: Once upon a time a woman who had cedar chests in which to store her winter belongings was considered a fortune being indeed and looked upon with envy by her sister housewives. Now cedar chests, camphor and mothballs are all scoured as old-fashioned and inadequate by the patrons of cold storage warehouses, where furs are taken care of and costly draperies, rugs, etc., are sent for protection from the moths. The expert furriers say that heat and not moths is the chief danger that threatens furs. A month's wear in warm weather is harder on fine furs than years of use with the thermometer at freezing point. Heat takes the life out of fur and pales the color, leaving it limp, dull and faded. In the modern storage house the furs are kept in rooms where the air is dry as a bone and the temperature many degrees below freezing point. Any daring moth that found its way into this room would be at once frozen stiff. Sealskins, skunk and other furs which have a furry odor, however faint, are not as apt to attract the moth as are sable, chinchilla andermine. Great attention is paid to the way the fur is smoothed when garments are laid away by fur-packers. Each hair has to be in its proper place or a rough, rubbed appearance will be the result when the garment is taken out for use. One of the biggest furriers in town believes in heroic treatment as a preventive of moths. All the furs in his establishment are kept hanging in cedar closets, and once a week all year round each garment is taken out and well beaten and examined. New York Commercial Advertiser. HOUSEHOLD RECIPES Gooseberry Pie—Stew three cups of gooseberries slowly without water on back of range, add one and a half cups of sugar mixed with one tablespoonful flour. Bake between two crusts in brisk oven. Do not fail to cut an opening in upper crust to allow escape of steam. Coffee Ice cream—One quart of rich cream, one-half pint of strong Mocha coffee, fourteen ounces white pu'verized sugar, yolks of eight eggs. Mix these ingredients in a porcelain-lined dish, place over the fire to thicken, rub through hair sieve into the dish and freeze as usual. Potato Turnovers—Mix one pint of hot mashed potatoes with one egg, season with salt and pepper and roll in flour. Make into balls, and press out thin; put a tablespoonful of meat minced and seasoned on one-half, fold over and press the edges together and brown on both sides in butter or sausage fat. Mock Bisque Soup—Season nicely one pint of tomatoes, stewed and strained, with one teaspoonful of onion juice, a little pepper, one teaspoonful of salt, and a dash of mace. Thicken a quart of milk in a double boiler with two tablespoonfuls of flour and two of butter rubbed together. When ready to serve, turn the tomatoes into a tureen, add a scant quarter of a teaspoonful of soup, pour in the milk, mix and serve at once with squares of toasted bread. Poulette Sauce—Take a pint of white sauce made with chicken or veal stock instead of milk, beat four yolks with a half a cupful of cream, remove the sauce from the fire and add it slowly to the eggs and cream, stirring all the time. Put it again on the fire a moment to thicken, but do not let it boil or it will curdle. Add one tablespoonful of butter slowly, a small piece of thyme, the juice of half a lemon, a tablespoonful of chopped parsley and a dash of nutmeg. Serve at once. The sauce should not be put together until it is time to serve, as it is likely to curdle after the egg and lemon juice are in it. After constantly for a moment after removing from the fire. ; HD : : Jowa Baptist Sunday Schoo! Convention. To be Held With the Third Baptist Sunday School, Davenport, Iowa.

The cost of first-class funerals has constantly grown, until it falls with crushing weight upon people in moderate circumstances. Death comes to us all, and the wise man provides in advance for meeting the expense of his own funeral or that of members of his family. The Des Moines Funeral Reform Association has been organized for the purpose of providing first-class funerals for its members at a moderate cost, and thus avoid excessive charges. Any person may become a member of this Association for a period of ten years for the sum of one dollar, and as such members will be entitled, in case of death in the family, to a well-trimmed casket, the use of a hearse, five hacks, the undertaker's services and chairs for the sum of forty-five ($45.00) dollars. Don't be deceived by misrepresentations made by interested parties, who may in the past have charged you twice what we are charging for the same service, but call on us at 1115 Locust street, see our service, and be prepared to provide intelligently in case of a need in our line.

Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good.

Bruce, one of the millionaires of Greenwich, Conn., a former cotton broker and a friend of E. C. Benedict, has caused surprise by appearing before the board of assessors of the town and asking them to have his assessment raised 50 per cent, says the New York Sun. He said that he had never paid any attention to the making out of his list of taxable property, leaving it with the assessors. He had looked the matter up recently and had decided that he was not paying all that he should into the town treasury and he asked for the raise. The assessors promised to comply with his wishes and it is understood that they will raise the taxes of all other millionaires there to some extent. Mr. Bruce's example is the subject of much comment. For many years past Greenwich has raised $90,000 by taxation, and has spent $30,000 more than it raised. The debt has rolled up to nearly $400,000. The town appointed an investigating committee and the members reported that more money must be raised by taxation. Fixing up the taxes last fall was put over until next spring. The assessors figured up the amount of taxable property and an increase of the tax rate seemed probable. Persons who have looked up the matter say that there appears to be one law for the poor man and another for the rich man. The law says that each property owner must put in a true list of the real value of all property, real and personal, but the general rule among persons of moderate means has been to pay on 60 per cent of the value. The millionaires in some instances have not paid on 10 per cent of the property. LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. Sketch of the Career of the Hen. D. ial H. McMillan. The birthplace of Col. D. H. McMillan, the new lieutenant governor of Manitoba, was in the county of Ontario, near the town of Whitby, in the Province of Ontario. The years of his boyhood and early manhood, however, were spent in the town of Collingwood. He received his education in the public schools and the collegiate institute of that town and in the city of Toronto. His early ambitions were largely towards military life; and it was his cherished desire to enter the British army. He took a course of training in the military schools of Toronto, where he was eminently successful, obtaining first class certificates in both the infantry and the cavalry schools. He was identified with military organizations in Ontario for a number of years, and served there during the Fenian raids at Niagara in 1864, and at Port Colborne in March and Fort Erie in June. 1866. In 1870 he was selected for the position of captain in the first Red River expedition under Colonel Wollseley. The young captain remained in Winnipeg with the force for a year, and returned to Ontario in the summer of 1871. Coming to Manitoba again in 1874, Mr. McMillan engaged in Winnipeg in the milling and grain business, with which he remained connected from 1875 until three or four years ago. He built, in 1870, the first flour mill ever erected in the province; and, in the following year, exported to Minnesota the first shipment, as a commercial transaction, of Manitoba's wheat. He did not, meanwhile, lose his interest in military matters, but was ready for active service whenever troops were required. He was major of the Ninetieth Battalion until just before the Northwest rebellion in 1885, when he resigned, intending to give up military affairs; but when the trouble broke out, the old martial spirit was revived, and he organized, along with Col. Scott, the Ninety-fifth Battalion, and went with that force to the Northwest. He was then senior major, but was afterwards in command of the battalion.—Montreal Herald and Star. LADIES DON'T WORRY.

Proposed Highway for Bicycles A perfect highway from New York to San Francisco, in as near a straight line as it is possible to make it, with a width of 120 feet, for the use of automobiles and bicycles, as well as for the use of the farmer, is a thing that the Automobile club of America will try to bring about. The subject was seriously discussed at a banquet, in honor of members of the National Highway Commission, at the Waldorf-Astoria, in New York, when plans were made and the route announced. Besides a direct path from New York to San Francisco, passing through Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and Ogden, the club wants a highway along each coast.

Grave Filling Device A device for use in constructing gaves, the invention of Henry D. Cumeron, of Burlington, Iowa, is designed to fill the grave with earth after the coffin has been lowered, and to conceal as far as possible the actual throwing of the dirt upon the coffin, the most trying termination of the grave ceremony to the bereaved mourners. It consists of a receptacle, with detachable sides and bottom, and a gate in the latter sc arranged as to be capable of being opened to allow the contents to fall. The front is a flexible curtain, extending from the top to the gate, and designed to prevent the earth within from being seen. This receptacle is filled with earth previous to the ceremony and carried to a convenient point. When all is over and the grave is to be filled, the receptacle is placed over it, and the gates opened, thus gently closing the last sad scene in a much more fitting manner than the seemingly cold-hearted return of the earth with a epade. Caused by a Cow's Tail. Lock Haven (Pean.) Spe. Philadelphia Inquirer: Mrs. Joseph Ross, of Pleasant Gap, met with a most peculiar accident. When she went into the barnyard to do the milking a cow switched its tail, which caught in the handle of the milk_bucket. The hook on the bucket handle caught in the palm of Mrs. Ross' hand. Then the heifer started to run, dragging Mrs. Ross about the barnyard until she was seriously if not fatally injured, the hook at last releasing her after tearing completely through the hand from the fleshy base of the thumb diagonally across to the little finger.

Nor is there to be found anywhere else such a pleasant combination. Game abounds everywhere and nowhere does it afford such perfect amusement. A noted sportsman writing of the favorite pastime says: "There is one particular spot where I saw a man drop seventy mallards one morning and bring them all to bag, too, for they dropped in open water or on flat prairie. At the right season of the year you can see black lines and triangles cut sharply out against the sky all round you, moving very swiftly, and you begin to wonder whether you have enough cartridges to hold out. You can hear the prairie chicken crowing like barn-door fowls, and a little to the northeast is a bit of marshy ground, cattle-poached and dappled with gleaming pools, where the snail are nearly as thick as mosquitoes. A thin column of blue smoke curling in the distance shows you where a few wandering Indians have pitched their camp, but there is no other indication of civilization in sight. Still, the neighborhood is well-settled, and a short drive will bring you to a farmhouse, where you can buy the finest butter and the freshest eggs for uncivilized prices. A very short railway journey will bring you to a country full of deer and the lordly wapiti, the king of the deer tribe the world over, and down on the flat, boggy land by the lake shores the moose will stand knee deep in water on the summer evenings ready to lie down when the flies get bothering. All day you breathe the wild free air of the prairie, and at night you are lulled to sleep by the surge and ripple and splash of the waves on the beach, broken now and then by the wierd banshee-cry of strange water-fowl.

A Blacksmith's Strange Experience Goodland, Kan., June 3—N, E. Albertson, our leading blacksmith has been a great sufferer from rheumatism. He was so bad that he could not sleep for the great pain in his arms and shoulders. He had been afflicted for years, but lately he was so much worse, that he thought he would have to give up his shop altogether. Then a strange thing happened. A friend of his recommended a new medicine called Dodd's Kidney Pills, said to be a cure for Rheumatism. He commenced to use them, and at once began to recover. His pain has all left him, and he is a well man today, and entirely free from any symptom of Rheumatism. To say that he is thankful, is putting it very mildly. He is delighted. Dodd's Kidney Pills deserve credit for having cured this very severe and almost hopeless case. From recent reports, there does not seem to be anything that they will not cure, as very bad cases of Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Dropsey, Rheumatism, and Heart Trouble, have been cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills, even after having been given up by our best doctors.

Naught to Show That the "Babylonish Woman" Message Was Intended as a Reference to Mrs. Woodbury—An Appeal Now Promised. Boston, Mass., June 17—Mary Baker G. Eddy did not libel Mrs. Josephine Curtis Woodbury, according to the decision of the court which heard the case here. Mrs. Woodbury lost her suit for $150,000 for alleged libel. The suit, which was brought against the woman who is the founder and general administrator of the Christian service faith, ended in a victory for Mrs. Eddy and despite the threat of an appeal the verdict is considered by believers in the doctrine as ending the charges interest in the religious world during Bell, presiding in the first session of the Superior court on motion of Samuel J. Elder, chief of counsel for Mrs. Eddy, directed a verdict for the defendant and dismissed the jury thus ending a trial which has aroused more interest in the religious world during the four days of its progress than any litigation of recent years. The judge took the stand that there was not sufficient proof that the "Babylonish woman" message was intended for Mrs. Woodbury. After the decision was given Mrs. Woodbury, pale but calm and dignified, immediately left the courtroom, and, calling a carriage, was driven to her Back Bay home. She declined to be interviewed. Fredrick W. Peabody, Mrs. Woodbury's principal counsel, also refused to talk of the case further than to say that he would appeal the case to the Supreme court and fight it through the tribunal of last resort. Judge S. J. Hanna, who is the editor of all the Christian Science publications, first reader of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, regarded as Mrs. Eddy's executive officer, and himself a defendant in a suit for $50,000 for alleged libel, also brought by Mrs. Woodbury and based on the "Babylonish woman" message, appeared highly gratified with himself and pleased with the decision, but he would not talk about the outcome of the case. He shook hands with the lawyers for the defendant, said something to them in a low voice, and then went home.

Widow on Trial for Murder Kansas City, Mo., June 7—A jury has been secured in the case of Lulu Prince Kennedy, charged with murdering her husband, Philip H. Kennedy, and Prosecutor Hadley made his opening address. He said the state would show that the prisoner's motive for killing Kennedy was to avoid the publicity incident to the trial of the dead man's suit to annul the marriage into which he alleged her father and brother had forced him. It also would be shown, he said, that another motive was to cover the conspiracy to which the defendant and her relatives were parties. Trollax Wreck Injuries 35: Syracuse, N. Y., June 7—A trolley car on the Syracuse, Lakeside and Baldwinsville railway jumped the track, injuring about twenty-five persons.

Wife Wounded Fatally, and Mother shot lz Others Are Fired at, but Not Hurt—Brother-In-Law Stops Career of ieee Beaverton, Mich., June 7.—William Arnell, Jr., proprietor of the Commer- cial House, while insane from liquor shot and Killed his 4-year-old daugh- ter, Rea, fatally wounded his wife, shot his mother, Mrs. William Arnell, in the arm, and also fired a bullet at his sister, Mabel, and at another sister, Mrs. Samuel Dopp, but failed to hit them. He wounded his brother Frank in the arm. Samuel Dopp secured a shotgun and wounded the murderer, but not seriously. Arnell was captured and hurried to the county jail at Glad- win, eleven miles distant. The excite- ment was intense, and the man prob- ably would have been lynched but for the prompt action of the officers in taking him out of the village. After his arrest Arnell recovered his reason and declared he knew naught of his series of crimes. There was apparently no motive for the deed, except that Arnell was insane from liquor. He had been on a spree for a week. Little Girl Hides Under = Bed. Arnell returned home at 10 a, m., and went up-stairs. His little daughter, Rea, heard him coming and hid under the bed. The father peered under and, catching sight of her, deliberately fired a bullet into her body, killing _ her. Mrs. Arnell, hearing the shot, ran to find what had happened to Rea, when the husband met her and shot her in the head, inflicting a fatal wound. The mother, Mrs. William Arnell, who has been a victim of paralysis for years, was sitting helplessly in her chair when Arnel saw her. He fired at her. ‘The bullet struck the aged woman in the arm, inflicting a painful but not serious wound. Arnell went into the street, where he met his sister, Mabel, and fired at her. Mrs. Samuel Dopp, another sister, was the next object of his wrath, and he shot at her, too, but neither bullet took effect and the women fled. Stopped by a Charge of Shot. Arnell’s brother, Frank, and Sam Dopp heard the shots and hurried to the scene. Frank tried to stop the murderer, and was wounded in the arm by a bullet fired by Arnell. Dopp got a shotgun, and, when it became evi- dent that the madman would not desist so long as the ammunition held out, shot. The charge took. effect in Ar nell’s head, and he fell. MISS ANTHONY STILL A POWER. Close of Annual Convention of National Wornan's Suffrage Association. ‘Minneapolis, June 7—Aside from the coming into power of the younger ele- ment in the National Woman's: Suff- rage association, the most notable feat- ure of tke annual convention which has closed here was the influence wielded by Susan B. ‘Anthony. The word of the venerable honorary presi- dent of the association is still law on nearly all important questions of pol- icy. In the morning the amendment to the constitution making all conven- tions movable was brought up, and was killed largely through the influence of Miss Anthony, who said that to take the biennial’ meeting away from Washington would be to undo the work of thirty years. After the de- feat of this plan Henry Blackwell pro- posed a compromise, which was adopt- ed, to the effect that a biennial confer- ence be held following each Washing- ton convention in the capital of some state. Invitations were extended for the convention of 1903 by Milwaukee, Atlantic City and New Orleans. It was voted to hold the conference next year in Charleston in connection witi the Interstate and West Indian expo- sition to be held there. DAILY MARKET REPORT. Chicage Board of Trade, ‘Wheat— Open.

Over a century ago Benjamin Franklin discussed the property qual- ification tor voting in Pennsylvania. A man owned a donkey of sufficient value to enable him to vote; but be- fore the next election the donkey died, and the man’s vote was refused. “Now,” said Franklin, “who voted at the previous election—the man or the donkey?” ‘The question, “Who was Bismarck?” which was put by a German officer to his men, called’ forth some curious answers. Nine said that he founded the German empire, several thought he was an emperor, a great number pictured him as a general, one said that he was a poet and another that he translated the bible. The neatest answer was that he was “the Kaiser's greatest enemy.” An old Georgia negro arose in pray- er meeting the other night and said: “Brederin’ and sisterin’, I been a mighty mean nigger in'my time. 1 had a heap er ups an’ downs—'special- ly downs—since I jined de church. I stoled chickens and watermillins. 1 cussed. I got drunk. I shot craps. TI slashed udder coons wid my razor, and I done a sight o’ udder things, but thank de good Lawd. bredderin’ an’ sisterin’, I never yet lost my re- ligion.” It is said that Gladstone one day said to the witty Father Healey: “When I was in Italy the other day, I saw a notice in one of your church- es to the effect that a plenary indul- gence could be had for a sum of about thirty shillings. How do you explain that?” “If” answered the father, “my church were prepared to give you a plenary indulgence for all the sins you have been guilty of for thirty shillings, I think you would be let off uncommonly cheap.” A few weeks before he returned to America, Mark Twat went to consult a well known West End dentist in London noted for keeping his pa- tients waiting a tong time, and for indifference to the age of magazines and papers left on his waiting room table to beguile their tedium. Mr, Clemens was kept waiting for a solid hour, and when his turn came his patience had given out. But he contented himself, as he entered the consulting room,’ with the caustic remark: “I see by your papers, that there is prospect of war with the Transvaal!” ? | Fl the good of the tobacco Do You or because the maker offers i if a cheap oes which you never get? you chew to- Chew Tobacco’ bacco for the consolation; for the satisfaction of it, you HEW, will find Wetmore’s Best by far the best you ever tasted.

The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen—““Although my school does not believe in patent medicines, I have found it to be a fact that Peruna Is a grand and valuable medicine. I have known it to cure Mrs. Sampson, suffering with an inflamed womb, aggra- vated by malaria, after the doctors had failed to help her. Another of my former patients suffered with a complication of female diseases; she was so thin, nothing but skin and bones, but Peruna cured her and she is to-day in good health and good flesh. Facts prove that Peruna revives lost strength and restores to the sick that most wonderful blessing of life—health. Lucy Annie Heiser, If all the tired women and all the nervous women, and all the women that needed a tonic would read and heed the words of these fair ladies who have spoken right te the point, how many invalids would be prevented and how many wretched lives be made happy.

Curtis. --- They Were Lost for Centuries, but Have Been Rediscovered. What are known as the emerald mines of Cleopatra lie in the mountain range that extends for a long distance parallel to the Red sea and a few leagues west of its coast. In a latitude rather south of Eofu, on the Nile, says his Geographical Journal. This, like some other parts of the region—such as the porphyry quarries of Jebel Dokhan—was far better known than it is now, and more thickly people'd, about twenty centuries ago, and only during the present one, so far as we know, have isolated explorers at long intervals found their way into the treasure house of ancient Egypt. When its rulers first used the emerald for personal adornment is uncertain. Whether the large, clear stones which, according to ancient authorities, ornamented the Egyptian temples were really emeralds is a matter of dispute, but as this gem —owing to its regular shape, which is commonly a six-sided prism—and its beautiful tint stands less in need of the lapidary's art than many others, it probably formed part of the regalia of princes at a very early period. That it was known to the Romans is certain, and the mines now revisited used to send their treasures to the gem cutters of the capital. Ever since then the stone has been highly esteemed. These mines of the northern Ethal seem to have remained untouched since the decline and fall of Rome caused them to be deserted. According to Mr. MacAllister, the workings are only small passages, hardly more than burrows, excavated in the emerald-bearing cyst and sometimes extending for a long distance. Many scattered ruins may also be seen—dwellings, watch towers and tombs, besides those of few settlements. In these, no doubt, the mining population used to live, and the difference in style suggest they were occupied for a long time. Some are mere hovels, very roughly built; others show a more careful construction, while a third group are well finished. Mr. MacAllister also found three rock-cut temples, for the soft stone lends itself to that kind of architecture. He thinks that their pillars, though very primitive in nature, indicate Egyptian designs, with traces of Greek influence. One, indeed, contains a crumbling inscription in that language. Broken pottery, sometimes ornamented, is abundant, but there is no evidence that the neighborhood attracted visitors for any but business purposes. Notwithstanding this, there was in those times a settled instead of a nomad population, and travelers once must have been rather frequent, for in one place many drawings of persons, animals and tribal marks are scratched upon the rocks. Some of the figures evidently are much older than others, but as a whole they recall to memory the Sinaitic inscriptions which some forty years ago were believed to be memories of the wanderings of the Israelites. 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 part 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.

It is so sold that a cake of ice is like a fierce fire as compared with it, for a kettle of liquid air placed on a cake of ice will boil just as water boils over a hot fire. It freezes mercury so hard that one can drive nails in it. The story is told that Mr. Charles E. Tripler, the experimenter in liquid ice, recently took a quart can of the remarkable substance with him on a visit to a friend. On the way he stopped in a restaurant to eat a beefsteak. The walter brought in a hot broiled steak and placed it in front of Mr. Tripler. As soon as the walter's back was turned Mr. Tripler hastily opened the can and exposed the meat to the liquid air. Instantly the steak was frozen hard as a rock. When the walter came back his customer complained that the steak was frozen. So the walter called the head walter and the head waiter blamed it all on the cook and the cook was at a loss to explain, and the result was that the frozen steak was taken back into the kitchen as a mysterious curriculum. A new steak was broiled for Mr. Tripler and this one he steed with much relish Good morals make the best manners A man must be greater than his work. Bridling sin is like harnessing serpents. The church that upholds the world cannot uplift it. The devil never misses the church business meeting. Greatness is not in being lifted up but in growing up. The kingliest are those who are kin to the King of Kings. The wrath of God is like that of the sunlight with darkness or dirt. If the Gospel is impracticable here then heaven is impossible there. Christ would not shield you from storm, but he can save you from wreck. They who live on public opinion will probably die of popular opprobrium. It is sad when we are not on good enough terms with God to call Him Father. He who is crowned by his conscience cares not if he is condemned by the crowd. He who resolves to be better, expecting to fail, surely he shall not be disappointed. The spendthrift who is always spending upon himself is as selfish and mean as the miser. The man who places the highest things first will be the first to get the highest place. It is folly to ask pity for your pains as long as you continue to make your couch on the devil's thorn bush. God will reward some according to the sheaves they bear and some according to the seed they have scattered. Deeds are the only measure of our days.—Ram's Horn. SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY. Heed not the blusterer; beware of the silent man. A new-born babe has no past and its future is uncertain. Teeth resemble verbs; they are regular, irregular and defective. Absence may increase true love, but it is rough on the counterfeit. A miser is a great lover of generosity—in everybody except himself. Women either love or hate; there is no happy medium in their affections. With the exception of success some people willingly forgive anything in a friend. No man's ability should be rated by what he finishes and not by what he attempts. Few men have sufficient confidence in their own veracity to believe all they say. Adam was probably created in the afternoon—at least it was a little before Eve. The more blunders a man makes the more expert he becomes in framing apologies. The coat of a horse is the gift of nature. The coat of a donkey is often the work of a tailor. A lot of different tools come under the head of sin, but a lie is the handle that fits them all. Old men often give advice to young men—and they also give up money to confidence men occasionally. A wise old tiller of the soil speaking of the relative value of grains says grains of common sense are the most valuable. It is folly to attempt to please everybody. It matters not in which direction a man faces he must of necessity turn his back on half the world. The farmer of today reads the papers and refuses to invest in "gold bricks," but he ne steps up to the polls and votes for the candidate who promises the impossible, just as he always did. WHEN SUMMER COMES. Tucks will again be in evidence. Lace gowns will be worn as of yore for both day and evening. Hip yokes, both deep and narrow, will be a feature of skirts of gowns. Dotted muslins in solid colors with contrasting dots will flourish in feminine favor. White duck or butcher's linen will be used for the shirtwaist for strictly taller-made wear. Crushed raspberry and dark and light faded blue will be the popular shades in colored shirtwaists. Lovely edgings and insertions from Vienna, Lyons and Paris will charmingly adorn warm weather toiletttes. Practical gowns will be of chambray, linen crash, denim and other firm wash goods, trimmed with white or colored pique or embroidery. White and tinted chiffon, in the forms of various kinds of flowers, some with jeweled centers and petals simulating dewdrops, will be used on handsome evening round hats. Soft chips and Neapolitan straws which can be manipulated easily into any shape are promised features of millinery.—Philadelphia Times. A Sprained Ankle Quickly Cured.

Mandarins and Rich Men Congregate o Social Pleasures Club life in China is not an innovation from the west. For centuries the rich Chinaman has had his club, and as a rule it is quite as elegant an affair as are the aristocratic clubs of New York and Chicago. Most of the large Chinese cities, such as Cantor and Pekin, contain a club for mandarins and rich men with pretensions to rank. Some have a political taint some are merely social, but all have one peculiar feature. This is a room or oratory set strictly apart for religious exercises. In the oratory the image of a Chinese god is placed. From time to time members of the club enter the sanctuary to offer their devotions. Apparently it is no uncommon thing at the beginning or successful ending of a great enterprise—such as, say, the murder of an enemy or the consummation of a political conspiracy—to see a Chinaman hastening from the secular part of his club bearing a rich offering or a prayer for the god in the club sanctuary. He observes his devotions with a gravity that bears witness to his sincerity. Some devout Chinamen visit the god the moment they enter the club building and again prostrate themselves the last thing before leaving. The club god is not usually a war divinity, but now, in the centers where the "Boxers" hold sway undisturbed it is more than probable that the "Boxer" god has been placed in all the clubs. Arctic Night. Icebergs dotted the blue surface of the sound, and far into the haze of Baffin bay we could see them drifting southward. The air was as still and clear as on a quiet, moonlit winter night at home, and the level sun rays streamed through in a glory of Italian pink. Enfolding all, as was the "peace that passeth knowledge," like the serenity of a soul that has won, through toll and storm, the strength and poise of enduring calm. It was well-nigh overwhelming. In ill-disguised necessity we turned from the vision to the sight of heaps of crumpled dead birds in the boat, and talked of shooting, and agreed that nowhere in the world was there promise of better sport than here. Then silence fell again. In spite of us, our eyes were drawn outward; and through all the peaceful beauty we felt once more the poignancy of its awful purity. He would be a man of spotless soul indeed and of assured faith who, seeing the stainless loveliness of the scene, would feel no pang. Not one's self only, but one's world came there, as into the presence of the great white throne, and stood condemned in a stillness that was unbroken.—From "With Arctic Highlanders," by Walter A. Wyckoff, in the September Scribner's. About Slate Penella Slate pencils were formerly all cut from slate just as it is dug from the earth. Pencils so made were objected to on account of the grit which they contained. To overcome this difficulty a scientific man devised an ingenious process by which the slate is ground to a very fine powder, all grit and foreign substances removed, and the powder bolted through silk much in the same manner as flour is bolted. The powder is then made into a dough and this dough is subjected to a heavy hydraulic pressure, which presses the pencils out in the required shape and diameter, but in lengths of about three feet. While yet soft the pencils are cut into the desired lengths and set out to dry in the open air. After they are thoroughly dry the pencils are placed in steam baking kilns, where they receive the proper temper. English Learn from America. The ice habit is making rapid progress in Great Britain, says Marshall Halstead, United States consul at Birmingham, due largely to the incessant clamor for ice in hotels and public places by the thousands of traveling Americans. Not very long ago the attendants of public places in England where nearly everything except ice was provided, would be insulted if one complained because ice could not be had. Today all first class places have a few small lumps swimming in a glass dish, and you pick these out with sugar tongs; and in country inns and even in second class public houses they apologize for not having it. Eminent in Letters at 49. Dr Adolph Harnack, for many years professor of ecclesiastical history in the University of Berlin and the author of "The History of Dogma," has just elected rector of the university for the ensuing year. His election was opposed by the orthodox party, which objects to his somewhat liberal views, but the selection of this eminent scholar, whose services as the historian of Christian dogma are appreciated in both hemispheres, is warmly approved by the whole body or German scholars. He has attained this eminence at the exceptionally early age of 49. White House Visitor About 900 persons a day... average visit the white house the year round.
