THE GREATEST SHOWS The great Wallace shows will exhibit in Des Moines, Monday, August 5. "The Great Wallace Show represents all that there is of the legitimate worth in the circus business. It is in charge of men who aspire to elevate the tone and purify the atmosphere of the calling, and we believe the thousands who have attended the performances during the past two days will certify that they have succeeded. Not only was the performance up to the highest professional and artistic standard, the managerie large and varid, and the trained animals of the best, but there was not in connection with the Wallace Show a single one of those discreditable and demoralizing features which have done so much to give the circus a bad name and to discourage the true friends of that otherwise wholesome form of amusement."—Post, Washington, D. C. A MINISTER'S GOOD WORK. I had a severe attack of bilious colic, got a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy, took two doses and was entirely cured," says Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kan. "My neighbor across the street was sick for over a week, had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him the next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it was almost bloody flux I asked him if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and he said, 'No.' I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose; told him to take another dose in fifteen or twenty minuets if he did not find relief, but he took no more and was entirely cured."

Connecticut Man Declares His Assessment Is Much Too Low. Robert M. 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 ahd value. The millionaires in some instances have not paid on 10 per cent of the property.

At the thirty-eighth annual commencement exercises at Wilberforce University, thirty six young men and women received diplomas from the University and thirty-six received certificates from the Industrial and Commercial courses. The orations delivered by the members of the graduating class were exceptionally creditable' and compare favorably with similar efforts of Wilberforce graduates in the past. Afro-American Progress. In an interview recently with the New York Tribune, Congressman Livingston, of Georgia, said: "I think the people of Georgia are against any disfranchisement amendment to our State constitution. We are getting along nicely with the Negro in Georgia. The States which adopt the amendments which have already been adopted by Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina may see the time when Congress will take the matter up with a view to affecting their representations which of course would bring turmoil and strife and reopen he tissue of the civil war." Vice President Roosevelt is a friend to the Negro race. Recently he appointed a Negro named Pinckney, who was his polite messenger when Governor of New York, messenger in the Senate. He was told that he had violated Senate precedent by appointing a Negro, and that he had better reconsider it. Roosevelt smiled, which showed that he was not to be frightened, and said firmly: "Pinckney is appointed." RICH EX-SLAVE. Left Home Penniless and Returns Almost a Croesus After 37 Years. The Danville (Va.) Register says that probably the richest colored man in America is visiting that city. He was born a slave and is named Edward Dillard. He escaped from slavery in 1863 and located in Pittsburg where he made $2.50 a day shoveling pig iron and lived on 40 cents a day until he had saved up $1,400 when he bought a horse and cart and began the peddling of coal and studying his books at night. He later went to Chicago and opened a drug store which was burned in the Chicago fire, for which he received an insurance of $20,000. He opened up the drug business, but soon sold it for $22,000 cash. He went to Australia and embarked in the cattle business and made a fortune. He has real estate in the heart of Chicago for which he recently refused an offer of more than $200,000. He owns valuable estate in Australia.

Most of them come from southern Europe and Scandinavia. Italy furnishes the largest quota this season. Most of them are coming west to work on railroad extensions on the Burlington, Union Pacific and Great Northern. Italians, it is said are the best track workers that can be obtained, and they are replacing the Chinese heretofore employed by the railroads on the Pacific coast. Latest End of Critics. The latest fad of critics, the New York Press says, is to rebel against the names of months. They point out that it is absurd for Europeans and Americans of today to dedicate one-sixth of the year to the memory of Julius Caesar and Augustus, to name a third after heathen gods and goddesses, to have two months of doubtful nomenclature, and to designate the remaining four by misleading numericals, September being obviously ninth and not seventh in order. "Papering Up" Silk Goods. Silk goods should not be folded in white paper, as the chloride of lime used in bleaching the paper will impare the color of the silk. Brown or blue paper is better; yellow India paper is better still. Silk intended for dress should not be kept in the house long, as lying in folds causes it to crack or split. White satin dresses should be pinned up in blue paper, with coarse brown paper on the outside, sewed together at the edges. Lord Chancellor of England. Lord Halsbury, the Lord Chancellor of England, is the son of Dr. Stanley Lees Giffard, who was editor of the London Standard for twenty-seven years. His grandfather, a noted Dublin politician of the union period, John Giffard, had for more than a generation the sole editorial control of the Dublin Journal, which had been startled and for fifty year edited by George Faulkner, the friend of Swift and Chesterfield. Orange Free State Flag. The Orange Free State flag is a simple rectangle of vivid orange. An orange tree in full fruit is the most distinctive feature of the arms of the Orange Free State. Beneath the tree are on one side a lion and on the other a number of oxen. An ox-wagon similar to that on the Transvaal arms and three suspended horns complete the whole. "Spes Bona"—good hope—is written underneath the arms of Cape Colony, the chief feature of which is a lion rampant. A figure of Hope surmounts the shield, the "supporters of which are a couple of native animals." The Fundamen al Principles of Cookery. The Mixing and Baking of Cake.

THE GREATEST SHOWS. The great Wallac shows will exhibit in Des Moines, Monday, August 5. "The Great Wallace Show represents all that there is of the legitimate worth in the circus business. It is in charge of men who aspire to elevate the tone and purify the atmosphere of the calling, and we believe the thousands who have attended the performances during the past two days will certify that they have succeeded. Not only was the performance up to the highest professional and artistic standard, the managerie large and varid, and the trained animals of the best, but there was not in connection with the Wallace Show a single one of those discreditable and demoralizing features which have done so much to give the circus a bad name and to discourage the true friends of that otherwise wholesome form of amusement."—Post, Washington, D. C. A MINISTER'S GOOD WORK. I had a severe attack of bilious colic, got a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy, took two doses and was entirely cured," says Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kan. "My neighbor across the street was sick for over a week, had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him the next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it was almost bloody flux. I asked him if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and he said, 'No.' I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose; told him to take another dose in fifteen or twenty uniuuets if he did not find relief, but he took no more and was entirely cured."

One of these grand, magnificent parks, like Lincoln Park in Chicago. That Buxton needs and ought to have a park was first realized by Prof. A. R. Jackson. He formed his plans, proposed them to Supt.

Connecticut Man Declares His Assessment Is Much Too Low. Robert M. 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 GREATEST SHOWS The great Wallacə shows will exhibit in Des Moines, Monday, August 5. "The Great Wallace Show represents all that there is of the legitimate worth in the circus business. It is in charge of men who aspire to elevate the tone and purify the atmosphere of the calling, and we believe the thousands who have attended the performances during the past two days will certify that they have succeeded. Not only was the performance up to the highest professional and artistic standard, the managerie large and varid, and the trained animals of the best, but there was not in connection with the Wallace Show a single one of those discreditable and demoralizing features which have done so much to give the circus a bad name and to discourage the true friends of that otherwise wholesome form of amusement."—Post, Washington, D.

He used them for three or four days without relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him the next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it was almost bloody flux I asked him if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and he said, 'No.' I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose; told him to take another dose in fifteen or twenty uniuuins if he did not find relief, but he took no more and was entirely cured."

Connecticut Man Declares His Assignment Is Much Too Low Robert M. 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 aha value. The millionaires in some instances have not paid on 10 per cent of the property. M A R B I N T T S G T T T T N L E C O R T I L I O A I L Y I P T U S , H I L S O H C E H NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL Des Moines, August 2, 1901. The first filings in the noted murder case of the state of Iowa vs. Margaret Hossack of Warren county have been made in the supreme court. A certified copy of the indictment, the record entries, the motion to set aside verdict, grant a new trial and for arrest of judgment and an amendment thereto have been made matters of record. No abstracts or arguments have yet been filed in the appeal. The case promises to be one of the most interesting of the approaching October term. The attorney, Berry and W. F. Powell, are said to be thoroughly convinced of the innocence of the defendant, Mrs. Margaret Hossack, now in prison at Anamosa, and they are prepared to make a desperate legal fight in her behalf. Attorney General Mullan will be drawn into the case on behalf of the state. The motion for setting aside the verdict and for a new trial is a lengthy and forthwith third grounds on which the new trial should be granted. These relate mainly to alleged errors of the court in ruling on objections and in giving instructions to the jury. The new rule of the supreme court for admissions to the bar has been issued in accordance with the provisions of the law passed by the twenty-eighth general assembly and which went into effect July 4 of this year. The new rules which will be used for the first time at the examination before the court at the next October will be issued from the rules under which the examinations have been conducted in the past. The principal change is requirement that the general educational qualifications of the applicants for examination shall be determined before allowing them to enter as to their legal attaintments and for purposes of the law. It is assured that the applicants shall pass a satisfactory written examination in orthography, reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, English grammar, United States and English history, elementary algebra, elementary physics, elementary economics and civil government, and on such other subjects as may be deemed necessary. The board may accept, in lieu of such examination, proof that the applicant is a graduate of a collegiate course in any university or college of good standing in the United States, or is a graduate of a three years' course in any high school having a course of high school preparation for to the state university, or in any school or academy prescribing an equivalent course. Governor Shaw has appointed Mrs. Louis Weinstein or nursington to succeed her husband, Louis Weinstein, as one of the state oil inspectors.

Major McKenzie of the firm of McKenzie & Ryan has arranged with Judge Holmes for a test suit to be brought in the district court to determine the right of Iowa veterinary surgeons who are now said to be practicing without having registered and who failed to avail themselves of the provisions made in the state veterinary law which went into effect January 1, 2009, point in point and of which the state termine the rights of Iowa veterinary board is very much in doubt, is whether or not these practicing physicians have the legal right to register at this date when in fact they have been practicing illogically since the first of the year, or when the new law went into effect, which are more than 200 to register at the beginning of the year, through ignorance of the law compelling them to do so, the result will be awaited with a considerable degree of interest. The report of the collections of the port of Des Moines has been made public by Collector Redman. It is for the fiscal year ending June 30, and shows collections amounting to $231.709 for the year. Des Moines is a port of delivery, where customs are collected on imports. Only a few Des Moines people have occasion to pay duty on anything that they buy and have shipped to them. The principal collections are upon tea and queensware. A considerable quantity of the goods traded in Des Moines come in free of duty. The Iowa Seed company annually imports a large quantity of seeds and bulbs, on which there is no duty. During the year 119 different consignments passed through the office. Duty was paid on 100 of these, and 18 came in without duty. The remaining one was simply entered to be rewerehoused. The total duties amounted to $23,072.01, and the fines, penalties and forfeitures amounted to $88.72, making a total of $23,170.93. The expenses of the office amounted to $809.05. Last year the duties were $25,145.78.

"If weaves the entire corn crop of the state 1 would be willing from the present outlook to compromise on two-thirds of a crop. I mean that 1 believe two-thirds of the corn crop of the state have been saved by this change the weather; and that there will be 200,000,000 bushels of No. 2 corn. By No. 2 corn I mean good, profitable corn." Such is the opinion of Director J. R. Sage of the Weather and Crop Bureau. Continuing he said: "I believe that corn is now in a very promising and encouraging condition, and that the output will be 10,000,000 bus es, as compared with something of 6,000,000 last year, which was a phenomenal year. a phenom. Another encouraging thing that I would call attention to is the condition of the folder to be secured from the corn which will not show up so well in the producing of ears, but will be valuable for its folder. The folder this year will average in value $10 an acre and as there are over eight million acres planted you can see that the feeding value of the folder this season will be over eighty million dollars. "With two-tails of a corn crop and the splendid fodder that we will have the Town farmer will be very little worse off this year than last or than the average. The toddler last year was not husbanded, it was allowed to go to waste, it was not even so good on the average as it will be this year, when it will have better taken care of, oo. We have many lessons to learn this drought, just as we had in 1894, and the fodder lesson will be one of the best." OEAGRELED ABOUT A CALF. As a Result Willard Butenbach of Washington May Die.

Y., in charge of the national Catholic summer school there. SENATOR THUS DEFEATED. Failed to Secure the Nomination at the Convention. Muscatine, August 1.—George M. Titus, author of the famous and ill-fated biennial amendment, was defeated here yesterday for renomination for state senator from this district, composed of Muscatine and Louisa counties, F. M. Molesberry of Columbus Junction, Louisa county, was chosen by a vote of 19 to 13. The outcome was problematized to the end, and 'Titus was defeated by the defection of high of the Muscatine county delegates. A contest by the method of voting resulted in the defeat of the Titus forces, the Molesberry party carrying the point to a vote by the individual written ballot. 'Titus' hope was in a vote by delegations in which the undercurrent against him would be forced to display itself openly. The Wallace Shows at Des Moines. The great Wallace show, which will visit Des Moines soon has been repeatedly and emphatically commended by the city press and the critical people. Perhaps the most emphatic commendation came from the Commercial Travelers' club of Indianapolis. There is no class of men who are more free to express their honest opinion than the commercial travelers. They are posted and unbiased, thoroughly capable of passing judgment as to the merits or defects of any amusement. No matter where the great Wallace shows may exhibit, the management may hesitates to submit to the scrutiny of the commercial trumpet who may chance upon on show day." "The very best I ever saw" is the way these gentlemen invariably speak of the Wallace shows. The Commercial Travelers' club of Indianapolis made the following public statement: "A large number of the members of this club have seen the performance given by the Wallace shows, and the public was amazed at the performance, thus that the show is second to none, and the performances are of the highest class known to the profession." Similar statements could be readily secured from any association of commercial travelers. The great Wallace shows are billed for five tickets on Monday, August 5, at which time a program of choice and novel features will doubtless be witnessed by immense crowds.

Though he is still alive, no hopes of his recovery are entertained. Firm language is used in a conversation between partners. NEWS IN GENERAL NEWS IN GENERAL CORN KING PHILLIPS IN TROUBLE Recent Order of Court Causes Embarrassment for the Operator. Chicago, August 2.—Gco. H. Phillips, the "corn king," has transferred all his trades to McKeynolds & Co. He closed all his open trades Wednesday and said to a customer that up to that day he considered himself worth $500,000; adding, "Now I don't know that I am worth a cent." The Phillips company is credited with having done the largest commission house business in the Chicago board of trade last year. The business is valued today. Board of trade and business circles generally were started by the announcement; that the George H. Phillips company, which became famous through its pool operations in the Chicago corn pit during the past year, had transferred all its open trades to McKeynolds & Co. Lack of facilities for the proper clerical needs of the concern, which had acquired an enormous commission trade, was, according to a statement given the Associated Press by Attorney John S. Goodwin, who as a representative of the law firm of Black & Goodwin, has taken charge of the company's affairs, the sole reason for temporarily suspending business. The tangled condition of books became apparent some time ago, when the board of trade directors ruled that the Phillips company should furnish to each member of the May corn pool a detailed account of the entire transaction. A large force was then put to work on the books of in their efforts to dismantle the multitudinous trades it became apparent that every trade on the company's books since November, 1500, would have to be checked over, entailing an enormous amount of work. As the firm's business kept increasing at a remarkable rate, the machinery of the house was found inadequate, and, at midnight July 31, it was decided to simply transfer all trades and for the time being show the books into other halls until aplete new set of books shall have been compiled. Mr. Phillips, while regretting the necessity of this action, said it was absolutely the only course open to him. "This does not mean we are quitting business," he said. "On the contrary, we shall execute all orders, but will have to accept usual margins accompanying all orders until our books are checked over." SOUTH AFRICAN WAR NEWS Boers Are Charged With Butchering Defections Beilsh. Lorenzo, Marquez, August 2—A Boer command with two guns has entered the Portuguese territory, encamping at Guanetz. Five hundred Portuguese troops are already at Guanetz, and artillery left here for that place this week. The Boers are in addition are in readiness to proceed unless the Boers surrender. London, August 2.—A dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, yesterday, says: "French reports that he has received a letter from Kritzinger (a Boer commander), announcing his intention to shoot, all natives in the area, and many unarmed. Many cases of cold murder of natives in Cape Colony have recently occurred." Another dispatch from Lord Kitchener, from Pretoria, dated yesterday, says: "On July 28, an officer of a patrol of twenty yeonarry and some native scouts followed two carts and a few Boers fifteen miles from Riksburg at Doorn, where they were cut off by 200 Boers, and after defending themselves in a small building, they surrendered when their ammunition was exhausted. Three yeonarry were wounded. After the surrender the Boers made the native scouts throw their hands up and shot them in cold blood. They afterwards shot and wounded a yeonarry. The remainder were wounded. The reason for shooting the yeonar that they thought he was a Cape 'boy'. Evidence on oath has been taken of the murders." SCILLEY BEGINS HIS CASE. Lawyer Parker Granted Permission to Examine the Logs of the Ships. Washington, July 31.—Admiral Schley has already begun the preparation of his case. At his request James Parker, his assistant counsel, made application for permission to examine the logs of the ship and confound the movement of ships on the south side of Cuba and this permission was granted. Mr. Parker was given access to these documents and is examining them. Both Admiral Dewey, president of the court, and Admiral Benham were at the department yesterday. The latter has formally acknowledged the receipt of the order of Secretary Long detailing him on the court. It is not possible to tell where an officer is physically able, and Admiral Benham expects to be present when the court convenes September 12. Great Accumulation of Gold. Washington, August 1.—The stock of gold in the treasury now is the largest in the history of the government, and is accumulating at the rate of $4,500,000 to $5,000,000 a month. Yesterday's figures are $504,354,297, of which $438,500 is from gold, but which the $150,000,000 gold reserve. Since July 1, 1900, the stock of gold on hand has increased about $81,000,000. Most people have the church instinct in their blood. Edward's Title. London, July 27.—In the house of lords, Lord Salisbury, the premier, introduced a bill authorizing King Edward to assume by proclamation within six months of the adoption of the bill, such title as he may think fitly recognized his dominion beyond the seas. The premier added this title would probably be as follows: Edward the Seventh, by the grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and monarchs beyond the Sea, King, Defender of the Faith, and Emperor of India." Five Masked Men Held Up a Baltimore & Ohio Limited. Chicago, August 1—The Baltimore & Ohio passenger train from the cast, which was due to arrive in the Grand Central depot at Chicago at 9 o'clock last night, was held up by five masked men at 8 o'clock between Edmore and Grand Calumet Heights, Ind., thirty-one miles out of Chicago. One of the mail cars, which contained no money, was dynamited and wrecked. The attempt at robbery was made after the two mail cars had been detached from the train and run a quarter of a mile ahead. The failure of the robbers to make a rich haul was due to the fact that the express car, which contained the train's treasure, was in an unusual place. It was the third car in the train. After wrecking the mail car and obtaining ro booty, the robbers disappeared in the darkness without attempting to rectify their mistake. The only loot that they carried away with them as a result of the adventure was the gold watch of the engineer. ROBERTS REWARDED. House of Commons Votes the General $500,000. London, August 1.—In the house of commons yesterday, proposing a resolution granting Field Marshal Earl Roberts £100,000 for his services in South Africa, A. J. Balfour, the government leader, in the course of a eulogy of the field marshal, said there was no doubt that but for Lord Roberts' daring and strategy, and the rapidity with which his plans were carried out, Kimberley and Mafeking would have fallen, 11,000 British would have been starved into submission at Ladysmith and there would have been a general rising of disloyalists in South Africa. The country was saved from this by the genius of the man he now invites to award by a unanimous vote, irrespective of political differences. He statement called forth rests from the Irish nobility. The liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, conquered in the motion. John Dillon, Irish nationalist, strongly opposed the vote. He declared Lord Roberts had shown the greatest inhumanity in South Africa, and said he had employed barbarous methods and had proved himself a dismal failure. Mr. Labouchere, radical, protested against granting gratuities to military men while nothing was given to civilians who were dead for something other than their country. Mr. Kern-Hardy, socialist and independent labor, took a similar view. He declared that in the opinion of experts at home and abroad, Lord Roberts' failure primarily was responsible for the continuance of the war. Mr. Swift MacNeil, Irish nationalist, said he considered Lord Roberts' operations were conducted with a maximum of cruelty and a minimum of humanity, and that his farewell speech at Cape Town was horrible hypocrisy and blasphemy. He fought against the measure. Mr. Balfour moved the closure, which was carried by 257 to 108 votes. The resolution was adopted by a vote of 251 to 73. ALL CLAIMS ARE DRAWS. Government Land Lottery in Oklahoma Is at an End. El Reno, O. T., August 2.—The drawing of winning numbers in the United States land lottery was concluded yesterday, 13,000 envelopes having been taken from the wheels, 6,500 for each land district. The crowd about the platform on which the drawing took place was, with smaller than 6,125 names in each district will be called daily for sixty days for the filing of homestead entries. The estimate is made by a government official that in each district 1,000 of the 6,500 numbers will not be taken in the sixty days because of homesteaders who will be disqualified, or who will claim to their claims, to be worthless. This will leave only 5,500 persons who will make entry in their respective districts. Two thousand claims will be left for the wagon emigrants and others who have been in the country for months and failed to draw a number. At the end of sixty days those persons can go immediately to their land office and file, or, if they settle upon a homestead in advance of any other person they can remain there on three months before filing their entry. Homestead speculators who registered for the sole purpose of selling their prize, if winners, are already seeking to sell relinquishments of their claims. CHANGE WILL NOT BE MADE. Long's Precept in Schley Case Must Remain as It Is. Washington, August 2.—The navy department has refused to accede to Admiral Schley's suggestion that the language in the fifth specification of the precept to the court of inquiry be modified. The admiral in his letter challenges that specification, which states as a fact that he had disobeyed orders and suggested that it be modified. The department in its reply declines to make the suggested modification on the ground that according to the official records Admiral Schley himself acknowledged that he had disobeyed orders. The disobedience of orders was an established fact, whether unwillingly or willingly. Columbia Won the Astor Cup. Newport, R. I., July 30.—The Columbia yesterday defeated the Constitution, boat for boat, in a splendid race, by 2 minutes and 54 seconds, and won the $1,000 cup presented by Colonel John Jacob Astor. Her victory was decisive and convincing. The behavior of the Constitution, on the other hand, was disappointing in the extreme, and last evening Mr. Duncan announced that his boat would not take part in the races until her rig had been altered. Three immense battleships will be built by Great Britain this year, at a cost of $6,250,000 each. MOVING ON BALKANS Troops Being Concentrated Near Boundary Lines. St. Petersburg, August 2.—Strong Russian forces have been quietly concentrating near the frontiers of Austria and Roumania since June 1, on the pretext that they are preparing to take part in the usual summer maneuvers. It is believed, however, by those who are behind the scenes that the mobilization is a precautionary measure, in view of the well known fact that Austria and Roumania have concluded an offensive and defensive alliance. Baron Lexa A'kehrenthal, the Austro-Hungarian ambassador, it is true, denies that such an alliance exists; but Count Lamsdorff, Russian foreign minister, and General Europokline, minister of air, thoroughly informed to all that is going on between Vienna and Bucharest. The object of the alliance between Austrian-Hungary and Roumania is to frighten Russia away from the Balkans and to prevent a Slavonic federation against Austria-Hungary and its allies. It is expected that when King Alexander of Servia and Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria arrive here in September the federation of Russia, Bulgaria, Servia and probably Montenegro will be arranged and ratified. London, August 2.—A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Budapest says: "In consequence of the agitation in Albania, Austria has ordered every garrison in Bania and Herzegovina to be immediately placed on footing. Additional regiments love Vienna this week for Serajevo and Banjaluka. All the officers on furlough have been ordered to rejoin their regiments. Nothing has been received here to confirm the news contained in this dispatch, and, outside of Vienna, scant attention is paid to the alleged political intrigues which are asserted to be at the heart of the war in Albania. According to a sensational Austrian newspaper, Italy and Montenegro started the Mussulmans in Albania on their present anti-Christian campaign, with the view of obtaining an excuse of some kind for intervention, the object being to checkmate the enemy in the event of its separation from Turkey. Italy has several times denied these alleged designs on Albania. SAILS FOR NORTH POLE. American Expedition Leaves Norwegian Part for, Venturesome Voyage. Tromsø, Norway, July 31.—Evelyn B. Baldwin, at the head of what is said by experts to be the best organized and equipped expedition that ever entered the Arctic, has sailed in the voyage in which he hopes to win for the American flag the distinction of being the first to be furled at the north pole. The explorer expressed confidence that the American money and energy expended in the enterprise and the novel methods brought to its aid would bring success to the efforts of himself and his associates. Three vessels, then provisioned, a large number of scientists and everything in the way of equipment that experience could suggest, make up the expedition, and all are now on the seas, bound northward. Mr. Baldwin, on the steamer America, the flagship, will go first to Archangel, where he will take on 425 dogs, fifteen Siberian ponies and six Siberian dog trainers. Forty-two men in all will accompany him or the innerties. The first of the Siberian ponies have been used in Arctic exploration, and the voyagers expect important results from the experiment. OUTBREAK IN VENEZUELA. Five Thousand Rebels Said to Be on the Colombian Frontier. Willemstad, Island of Curacao. August 31.-Dr. Rangel Gardiras, at the head of 5,000 men has revolted against President Castro of Venezuela. The insurgents are near San Antonio de Tachira on the Colombian frontier. The Venezuelan government has sent 10,000 troops to the scene of the uprising. The situation is grave. Other outbreaks are expected. The whole country is to rise against President Castro. Constitutional guarantees have been suspended and complications with Colombia are feared. South African War: Durban, Natal, July 31. Details received here of what at first seemed an ordinary skirmish between a British column and a Boer commando near Nquta, July 28, shows that a hard, all-day fight occurred, in which the British narrowly escaped the loss of a gun of the Sixty-seventh field battery. Four hundred Boers repeatedly rushed the British position, killing Major Edwards and Gunner Carpenter. The gun was limbered up and taken at a gallop for three miles under heavy fire. One British was killed. The land office this day framed the Lord Kitchener; "General F. W. Kitchener, after a long chase of Ben Viljoen's commando, caught up with it. A sharp fight ensued. We captured a pom-pom and twenty-two wagons and took thirty-two prisoners. The British had five wounded." Colonies Must Fout the Bill. London, August 1.—The supplementary civil service estimate asks for £7,013,910, of which £6,500,000 is required by the colonial office as a grant in aid of the Transvaal and Orange River colonies. Three millions of this will be considered an advance to the colonies, to be repaid out of the first loans issued by them. Naval Attaches Must Not Talk. Washington, July 30.—Secretary Long this morning issued the following general order: "All persons in the naval service are strictly enjoined to refrain from any public statement concerning the subject matter of the court of inquiry requested by Rear Admiral W. S. Schley. (Signed) "John D. Long." An heroic cure for a corn was tried by Jacob Gannon, an old gentleman of Cincinnati. For years a corn on his great toe had troubled him. He sharpened a chisel, and with it cut off the afflicted toe. Mildred Trevanion BY THE DUCHESS. This terrible announcement she uttered as though it could not fail to strike despair and remorse into the hearts of her hearers; and, indeed, in early Caroline's breast it awoke mingled feelings of joy and terror, though in those of Mildred and Mabel the joy reigned supreme. Lady Caroline attempted a faint remonstrance, but was sternly silenced; and on Wednesday, two days earlier than that on which she had originally decided, the old lady, Bagb and baggage, swept out of King's Abbott, very much to the relief of those she left behind. And now came the most trying time in all poor Mildred's life. During all of the past weeks that she had been suffering violence at the hands of her relatives, Lord Lyndon had become a constant, uniting visitor at King's Abbott, taking no rebuffs, nor open sights, nor petulant actions to heart, but, as might a faithful animal, attending all the more assiduously to her wants who was his acknowledged mistress. Patience, assisted by perseverance, has ever been known to work wonders, so it followed that in process of time he became—though so imperceptibly that it was without her knowledge—necessary to Mildred; so much so indeed that fewer and fewer grew the slights and unkindnesses on her part, while in their place a certain winning friendliness came and increased, raising false hopes in Lyndon's breast that should never have been there. The end of all this was that close upon Christmas-time, somewhere about the middle of December, while all their minds were fully occupied with Lady Eagleton's sayings and doings, Lord Lyndon proposed for Miss Trevianon, and was rejected. This blow might perhaps have effectually daunted another man; but Lyndon, still following up his trusty instincts, determined to Mide his time and never surrender hope until a more favored sutor took his place. Mildred, having lively recollections of the treatment she had received on a similar occasion, thought well to keep her own counsel in this matter; and so it was agreed upon between them to hold the entire circumstance a secret from the rest of the family—to insure which, things of course went on in the usual way, he calling every other day and she accepting his attentions—which were never of the obtrusive description—in the same manner as formerly. So well did they sustain their several parts that even Lady Harriet's keen old eyes failed to detect that anything was amiss. Sir George's affairs at this time were going from bad to worse. He had been hard at work for the past two months trying to find the ways and means to ward off the inevitable day of reckoning, and had suggested plans and pursued theories, all of which his man of business had frowned at and pooh-pooed as utterly impracticable. Nothing but the possession of a large sum of money—and that to be written in five figures—stood between him and complete ruin; and how to secure the money was the difficulty—a difficulty beyond all surmounting unless somebody could be found who for pure friendship's sake would lend it for an indefinite period, trusting to time and chance for repayment. Such a friend was hard to find. One evening Mildred, on her way to her mother's room, was stopped by a servant with the intelligence that Lord Lyndon had just called, and was in the drawing-room. "Would Miss Trevianon go down and receive him, while she informed her ladyship of his arrival?" To which Mildred made answer that she would tell Lady Caroline herself, and went on to her mother's apartment. When she came to the bedroom she found the door closed, but opening it passed on toward an inner room beyond, where Lady Caroline usually sat, and whence voices, suppressed yet distinct, reached her. As she approached still nearer, they rose still higher, and words became intelligible to her ears. "If I do not get this money without delay we are simply ruined," said Sir George, irritably. "Then I suppose there is nothing left you but to ask Mr. Younge for it," returned Lady Caroline, in a reluctant tone. "I suppose not," said Sir George. Ask Mr. Young! Ask the father of the man whom she had not considered good enough to marry for money! What could it all mean? Mildred stopped short and pressed her hands tightly together. Surely she had not heard aright. They could not mean—— She drew her breath hard and swept like a whirlwind into the room. "Papa," she said, "what are you thinking of? What have you been saying? I heard you as I came along. By what right do you intend to ask money of Mr. Young—of him of all men? What claim have you on him?" "Mildred, you do not understand," began her father. "I speak of a loan." "Yes, I do understand," broke in the girl passionately—"only too well. You speak of a 'loan'; when, then, do you intend to return it—in months, in CHAPTER XII. years? Why, you yourself told me only the other day you could not hope to see the time the estate would retrieve itself. I ask you, therefore, is it honorable to borrow? "Something must be done," Sir George urged feebly, "else we must starve." "Then let us starve," cried Mildred, vehemently; "far better do that, or work for our daily bread as others have done before us, than live comfortably on other people's money. Let us be honest, whatever we are; and surely to borrow without hope of being able to repay is the very acme of all dishonesty." Lady Caroline rose, pale and trembling. "Mildred," she said, "how dare you speak so to your father? You have altogether forgotten yourself, I think. How can you presume to dictate to him what is right or wrong? Is he not your father? Are you not his child? Ah, it is because he has been so good to you that you now fail in love and obedience to him!" It was the first time she had ever rebuked Mildred within her memory, and her voice shook with the unwonted agitation. "Do not speak to her like that," interrupted Sir George, gently. "She is right; she has but spoken the truth. I can now see for myself that my intention was dishonorable and dishonest." But Lady Caroline was still stung to the quick. "And you, you ungrateful girl," she went on, taking no notice of her husband's speech, "how can you claim to have any voice in the matter at all—you who could have saved us all by putting out your hands and would not?" "Hush, Carry!" interposed Sir George, authoritatively. "We have had enough of that subject. I will hear no more of it. Thinking it ower of late, I can see no just reason why Mildred should sacrifice herself to please her family. If I am to be beggared in my old age," he said, with a wretched attempt at a smile, "the sooner it comes to pass the better." An awful pain arose in Mildred's heart; her mother's words had sunk deep into it. Was she indeed the cause of all this cruel suffering? Was it through her fault that sorrow had fallen upon the closing years of her father and mother? CHAPTER XIII. Mildred descended the stairs and hurried across the hall, giving herself no time to think of or meditate on what lay before her, and, going into the drawing-room, found Lord Lyndon standing with his back to the fire. She went up to him, and held out her hand. "I want you to do something for me," she said, in a low, choked voice—"will you do it?" "Of course, I will," he responded in his pleasant, cheery way. "Why do you ask me that? Have you yet to learn that there is nothing in the world I would not do for you if I could?" "Hush!" she said. "I would rather you did not promise just yet. Wait until you have heard my request, for it is no ordinary one. I do not think you can grant it. I shall not think it in the least strange if you tell me you cannot." At least let me hear what it is," he requested, gently. "I want you to lend me, for an indefinite period, fifteen thousand pounds." Lord Lyndon was so taken aback that at first he scarcely recognized the importance of an immediate reply. He was rich, certainly—richer far than many men who were accounted well possessed of this world's goods; but fifteen thousand pounds was a sum that few could put their hands on at a moment's notice. He hesitated, therefore, for a little, and then recovering himself said quietly: "What day shall I bring it to you? Or would you prefer paying it in anywhere?" "You will give it to me, then? You really mean it? Are you sure—certain? Think what a large sum it is, and how small is your hope of repayment, and do not speak in too great a hurry." "I am sure," he said. "I promise you." "And about securities?" questioned Mildred, trying anxiously to recollect all that she had ever heard about money matters, and not succeeding at all. "We will not speak about securities," answered Lyndon, gently. "Let it be an arrangement between you and me alone; I shall trust to you to repay me the moment you are able." The utter kindness and nobility of his nature touched her to the heart. his nature touched her to the heart. "What shall I say to you?" she said, in a low tone, while a strange trembling pervaded her voice. "How shall I thank you?" "Say nothing—do not thank me at all," he answered, in a hurried, palmed manner, moving back a few steps from her. Meanwhile time was flying. One, two, three minutes passed, marked by nothing except the small ormolu ornament on the chimney piece, as it ticked away its little monotonous existence. He, gazing absently in the fire, be- thought him of what all this might portend; she thought of nothing—remembered nothing—beyond the fact that, for her, life's sweetness, liberty and tender sympathy were not. At length, rousing herself with an effort, she went up to Leydon and placed her hand on his. Her heart was beating wildly, her face was ashen. "Do you remember a question you asked me about two weeks ago?" she said. "Do you still care to remember it? Because, if so, I have a different answer to make you now." "Two weeks ago I asked you to marry me," he replied, in a forced, unnatural manner. "And then I said 'No,'" she murmured faintly; "now—now—I would say 'Yes.'" She covered her face with her hands; a thick, dry, tearless sof escaped her. "But I have not asked you to say it," observed his lordship, coldly, still keeping down with firm hand the rising hope that was consuming him. "What, Mildred, do you imagine that, because I have been able to help you in this little matter, I have a claim on you? You are doing both yourself and me a great injustice." "You are too good for me," said Miss Trevionan; "and yet I know you love me. If you still care to marry me, I will gladly be your wife." "Mildred, Mildred, what are you saying?" he cried, all the icy brave reserve breaking down in an instant. "Think what your thoughtless words must meet to me—life, happiness greater than I have ever dared to dream of—and beware lest I take advantage of them. If you are saying all this—as I feel you are—from a mistaken sense of gratitude or pity, I implore you to desist and leave me as I was before." "Listen to me," entreated Mildred, determined honestly to advocate her own doom, and holding out to him her hands, which he gently took and held. "If I tell you that I do not love you with that passionate love with which some women love the men they marry, but that I respect you above all living men, will it content you—will you take me as I am?" "If I were quite sure you would be happy," he began, reluctantly. "I am quite sure I should be happy," she interposed, and burst into bitter tears as she spoke. After a little she recovered herself. "I feel nervous," she declared, trying bravely to appear her usual self, and smiling a wan, fatal smile, though heavy drops were on her lashes; "you should have come to my rescue—it is not every day the proposal is made by the woman." "My darling," he said, tenderly caressing the small hands, of which he had again possessed himself, "I hope I—think—you will never regret it. Mildred, if I were quite certain that this was for your good, and that you would never wish unsaid the words you have uttered, I believe I might feel satisfied." "Be satisfied, then," she returned, but there was a terrible, dull aching pain at her heart, as she gave the expected assurance. When he was gone she went upstairs again to the room where she had left her father and mother, and found them still there—Sir George standing at the window gazing out upon the snow-covered ground, Lady Caroline before the fire, as though in the act of warming herself. The traces of tears were still upon her mother's cheeks, and even as Mildred gazed a heavy drop fell upon her lap. "Mamma, be comforted," cried Mildred, coming suddenly forward from where she had been standing unnoticed, in the shadow of the door; "I have done what you wished me to do—I have got the money for you." Lady Caroline started and turned toward her; so did Sir George. WILL NOT LEND THE BOOKS. Collectors of Rare Volumes Have a Horror of the Borrowers. A noted book collector of New York, one whose library is filled with some of the rarest treasures of the bibliophile's heart, recently complained of the total lack of the collector's spirit among literary men. "I was recently asked by a literary man to send him a copy of an extremely rare book that I have on my shelves to aid him in some work that he is doing. Now, I want to help him all I can, and if he will come to my house he can have the use of the book as long as he wants it, under the most favorable circumstances. But send him the book—no, under no circumstances! It is not the fact that it is worth hundreds of dollars anywhere in the market, but the fact that if damaged or lost it would be utterly replaceable that makes the collector shudder. If it were lost or spilled Mr. Literary Man would send an abject letter expressing his deep contrition at an untoward accident, perhaps with a check inclosed, but of the real horror of the situation I think he and his tribe could have no inkling." Improvements Upon National Capitol. About $300,000 will be expended upon the capitol at Washington during the congressional recess. Many desirable improvements will be made, and the architect of the capitol has been authorized to prepare and submit plans for the reconstruction and fireproofing of the central portion of the building and the renovation and redecoration of the rotunda. Plans are also to be prepared for a new fireproof building adjacent to the capitol grounds to be used for additional committee rooms, storage and power plant. TEMPERANCE TOPICS Verimine. So he passed that was the man. Cover over the memory! Such there were since song began, Never more than two or three Stopped from God's lips hymning sweet To lie and kiss a satyr's feet. Reaching hands that less and less From the reedy-deep morass Lifted ever longfully Down to hushed depths that it hated. Carrying a sweet flame, belated, That had once shook songtully— So it set in mist and rain. The sad star of Paul Verlaine. Star is set and flame is dead. Leave alone the agony! Hidden in his sullen head Was an angel's pedigree. They know not the flame he bore Who knew naught to love him for. They neer saw that soul of his, (For its wrinkled chrysalis That was gashed and tore with it) Sick to loathing with the knotted Satyr-scented and besotted Body that it bore with it. Poor, dead flesh that lay in pain Chaining what was Paul Verlaine. —Post-Wheeler in New York Press. Moonshiner Unique Among Criminals. Prohibition That I4 Effective. In many cities of the United States the authorities have issued positive orders against police officers entering saloons except in the line of duty; to drink a glass of liquor while on duty is punishable by fine and suspension, and if persevered in the officer is dismissed from the service. The same rule is also made applicable to members of fire departments. If there is any public or private service that re- quires a cool head and clear brain, they are the police and fire departments, for life and property are dependent upon prompt action. A policeman who drinks in a saloon when he is on duty is not apt to have the keeper summoned for violation of the license law. Over in the United States many of the leading railway corporations will not allow an engineer, fireman, conductor or brakeman to drink intoxicating liquors while on duty—and these employees are considered to be on duty all the time, for they are subject to call at any moment. The only time they can lodge in a lively jag is when they take a lay-off; and if that occurs too often they are liable to be dropped from the pay-roll. In the state of Ohio a railway company is subject to a fine of $200 for allowing a train to go out with an engineer in charge of it who is addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors. A railroad engineer requires the moment that he sets foot upon his engine, and railroad corporations in the past have found it to be a costly thing, in the loss of life and property, to trust a man in such responsible places whose brain is in the least clouded by the use of liquor. The business world is moving in this direction, and men who spend their leisure hours and money in indulging their appetites for strong drink are dropped out of the list. There was a superstition at one time that only drinking men were geniuses and skilled in the mechanical arts; that the best workmen were those who went to bed every night drunk. The men who are making their mark today in the business and mechanical world are the ones who live temperate lives. Charles Schwab, the man who was recently appointed president of the United Steel corporation at a salary of $1,000,000 a year, attributes all his success to abstemious habits, and he urges upon all young men to leave liquor alone if they wish to win success and happiness.—Hamilton Spectator. Mrs. Nation's Work. The Presbyterian Banner (Presbyterian, Pittsburg) presents the following resume of the situation in Kansas, and of the results of the Mrs. Nation crusade: Saloons, or "joint's," have become common in the larger towns and cities. Out of 129 towns recently visited by an agent of the State Temperance Union, 27 protected the joint on their paying stipulated sums of money at stated intervals; 34 allowed them to run through some kind of collusion with the authorities; and 40, or less than one-third of the whole, appeared to have no such places. Attempts to close these places by legal action have been futile. When information was made by private citizens, the officers would not bring the offenders to trial; or juries would not convict, or nominal fines were imposed and the joints kept on running. Lawabiding citizens were growing discouraged and desperate at the state of affairs. At this point Mrs. Carrie Nation appeared on the scene. She is intensely conscientious and superbly brave, but is narrow and bigoted in mind, impulsive and rash in act, and so emotional as to be easily swept across the border of sober judgment in hysteria and irrationality. Her first husband died of drink, and she has been stung by this serpent. For years she fought the saloon. She used to grind out temperance songs from a hand-organ on the streets and pray in the gaols. As she saw the futility of these means and brooded over the situation she grew desperate. She felt that more strenuous means should be used and that it was time to hew Agag in pieces before the Lord. About a year ago she stoned two joints in the village of Kiowa. The local newspapers treated the affair humorously, and the world heard nothing of it. Mrs. Nation determined that the world should hear and that something should be done that would move earth, if not heaven. She went to Wichita and smashed the finest bar in town. When she was arrested and taken to the police station she laughed at the magistrate, and set up the defence that she was only destroying illegal property. She was let go under bail, but she went and smashed another joint. The same scenes were repeated at Topeka and at other places. Of course her method was lawless, and cannot be technically defended. Even John Brown was wrong in his method. Sometimes technicalities and even some of the commandments get strained and broken when great wrongs are being smashed. People who stop to define with great nicety the boundaries of permitted action seldom effect great reforms. Mrs. Nation was bound to do something, and she did it. What has she done? She has stired Kansas with a new sense of the need of legally and rigidly enforcing its temperance legislation. A great temperance wave is now sweeping over the state. In the spring elections that were held last week, temperance was the main issue, and it won a splendid victory. "Down with saloons and gambling houses," was the battle cry, which won a signal victory for law and order in four-fifths of the towns of the state. Other western states are catching the same spirit, and there is a widespread determination that the illegal saloon shall be rooted out and kept out. It is to be hoped that this determination will be maintained and made permanent. And is there not need of a similar determination in other parts of our country? Legality of Beer Sale. It has been judicially decided in Troy that although Vermont is a prohibition state, a debt for beer sold to parties within the state, if contracted for in New York state, is legal. It is reported that only 40 British novelists are able to live on the profits of their books. ```markdown ``` When the Cosmopolitan, in its April number, published an essay, at once clever and philosophic, on "The Ideal Wife," a demand was created for a paper on "The Ideal Husband" by the same author—Levinia Hart. The August Cosmopolitan comedy which few people agree—which is certain not only to prove widely interesting, but to cause lively discussion. A very valuable feature of the August Delineator is that which illustrates by photographic process the latest dress materials, accompanying the latest fashion, and the material, so as to guide those who wish to have the fullest knowledge of materials before going shopping. This is one of the features of a practical character that makes the Delineator so highly esteemed by women. The Delineator is a fashion fabric into the subject of trimmings and other dainty accessories of dress. "What a Train Dispatcher Does"—and his duties are calculated to shatter the strongest nerves—will be told in the August Century in an illustrated article by Charles De Lano Hine. The writer is a young ex-officer of the army, who has turned railway manager, and has been a prominent experience of a dispatcher's duties. The August Atlantic is most entertainingly and strikingly a Fiction Number. Besides the dramatic conclusion of Miss Jewett's "Tory Lover" and the romantic continuation of Miss Johnston's "Audrey," it contains no less than six complete stories or sketches by such popular and practiced bands as Abraham Chan, Dufrenbore, Obsen, and Duval. Each will insure its becoming a favorite with readers of summer fiction. The World's Work for August gives ap most of its space to the Pan-American Exposition—making a large and handsome souvenir number. The description and interpretation of the Exposition, within and without, are strikingly interesting and valuable. Mr. Walter H. Page, the editor of the magazine, has been the director of the fair—the spectacle, the illumination, the architecture, sculpture, and color, and the cosmopolitan crowds that visit Buffalo. "The Kidnapped Millionaire," by Frederick Upham Adams, has recently been issued by the Lothrop Publishing company, Boston. This is a startling story of certain great American millionaires kidnapped from Wall street and marooned in the south seas, and the results that came of their' disappearance. It is an absorbing and thrilling story and mingles adrenaline and remarkable manner. This paragraph from a full page review in the Chicago American will give some idea of its worth; "What the reading public really wants is a book which will be exciting enough to force itself upon the attention during the dog days, with enough solid thought behind the image, to reflect the reflection through the coldest weather. This is the sort of book Fredric Upham Adams has written under the altering title of 'The Kidnapped Millionaires.' It is not an easy task to accomplish, but the manner in which the result is reached simplicity itself—anybody can do it, now Mr. Adams has shown them how." "A Princess of the Hills: A Story of Italy," by Mrs. Burton Harrison, is announced by the Lothrop Publishing company, Boston. Mrs. Burton Harrison is a charming story-teller. Her admirers are thousands, and not one of them will be delighted to know of the latest story from her pen. Unlike her other romances, "A Princess of the Hills" is not a romance of the colonial times. It is the story of an American tourist who retreats from a broken engagement at Venice to the solitude of that section of the North Italian Alps known as the Dolomites. Here he encounters a daughter of the soil, striking in form and feature, the last of a once noble race, but now a humble peasant girl, a real princess of the hills. The complications of the situation; the aroused interests of the American; the rival lovers,—English, American, and Italian; the love of the English; and the love engenders; the struggle for possession and its unexpected outcome and denouement,—are told with mastery skill and with an interest that remains unflagging to the end. In the Midsummer Fiction Number of McClure's Magazine, Clara Morris, whose "Recollections of the Stage and Its People" has proved such delightful reading, the author has failed dismally. He was an understudy in a leading role in "Mazeppa," and when called upon to assume the part, owing to the tragic death of the principal, he did not take advantage of his opportunities. As the "fiery untainted steed," he was an understudy in a roaring farce. Walter M. Glackens' pictures are almost as amusing as the text. The speech in the house of lords of the bishop of Hereford on the subject of gamoling recalls a story told of Bishop Potter of New York. The bishop, traveling through Louisiana some years ago, addressed inquiries to his fellow passengers with a view to obtaining information regarding the orchards and fruit interests of Louisiana. "Then you press the Louisiana?" inquired the bishop. "We do," replied the Louisiana, who was a better authority on poker than on horticulture, "if we have threes or better." It is said that when President Polk visited Boston he was impressively received at Faneuil Hall market. The clerk walked in front of him down the length of the market, announcing in loud tones: "Make way, gentlemen, for the president of the United States," The president of the United States! "Make way, rover!" "The chief had stepped into one of the stalls to look at some game, when Mr. Rhodes turned round suddenly, and, finding himself alone, suddenly changed his tone, and exclaimed: "My gracious, where has that darned ior got to?" The Jewish population of London has more than doubled within twenty years, CAMPAIGN EXPENSES. On National Contents the Neovictor Outlay Is Near the Close. The most expensive work of a national campaign is done during the last three weeks before the election. Every doubtful state and city is closely watched by men prompt to discover every change in the political tide, and money is transmitted in large sums to the localities in which it is believed it will produce the best results. A few days before the election in 1888 West Virginia received $44,000 from the democratic national committee and the Republicans sent $50,000 to the same state. About the same time the Democrats sent $100,000 into Indiana; and three nights before the election Chairman Quay of the Republican national committee sent $300,000 from New York to trusted lieutenants in Fort Wayne, Ind. A fortnight before the election in 1896 the Republicans became doubtful about Iowa, says World's Work. Chairman Hanna at once resolved upon a personal canvas of every doubtful voter in the state. He proposed that every voter not classed on the polling lists either as a downright Democrat or a downright Republican should be visited by some zealous and tactful member of the Republican party. Before election day the thousands of such men in towns, in cities and in the country were sought out and appealed to by the Republicans most likely to win them; and this canvass is said to have cost the Republican national committee more than $200,000. Reckoning all the expenses in all the states, it may be roughly estimated that a presidential campaign, including also congressional, gubernatorial and lesser campaigns, causes the total expenditure of perhaps $20,000,000. EARLY STEAMERS. Incidents Concerning Beginning Line of Bonta. The Collins line of American steamers was established in 1847. Two years later, on April 27, 1849, its first vessel, the steamer Atlantic, sailed from New York. The line was withdrawn in 1857, soon after the government had refused to renew the mail contract with it. The history of its steamers briefly told, is as follows: On September 27, 1854, the Arctic came into collision with the French steamer Vesta and was sunk, only a few of her passengers being saved; on January 23, 1856, the Pacific sailed from Liverpool with 240 persons on board, including the wife of Mr. Collins, and was never heard of afterward; the Atlantic was broken up in New York in 1879; the Adriatic, built at Greenpoint, N. Y., by Steers, was sold to the Galway company, and was afterward used as a coal hulk in England; the Baltic was in the government service during the civil war as a supply vessel, and was afterward sold at auction; her machinery being removed and sold as old iron, she was converted into a sailing ship and used as a grain carrying vessel between San Francisco and Great Britain until 1880, when she was broken up. When the civil war began the New York and Havre Steam Navigation company, to which the Fulton and Arago were chartered, was withdrawn; the Arago was then sold to the Peruvian government, while the Fulton became a United States transport vessel for awhile, but she soon became useless and was broken up.—New York Weekly. Benjamin Harrison's Lunch. Ex-President Benjamin Harrison, one of the ablest men who has figured in our public life, has always been handicapped by his unresponsive, cold manner. When he was in the senate, at Washington, D. C., in the early '80s, he always brought his luncheon to the committee room. He carried it in his coat pocket and would eat it while he went on with his work. One day when he got it out as usual from his pocket he looked it all over ruefully, for it did look rather flat and dubious. He finally remarked to those near by that he guessed he must have sat on it accidentally. One of his colleagues—one who had recently been ignored by Harrison—spoke up impulsively: "Well, by Jove, Harrison, if you've sat on it, I'll bet you a sixpence it is frozen solid," and of course a shout went up from the whole committee. Harrison took the joke kindly and joined in the laugh. Shot an Exulting Englishman. The British and the Boers at Pieters Hill were crouching behind bowlers scattered over a wide surface. The moment a man on either side emerged from his cover he was at once the target of the enemy's bullets. A Boer, partly, it seemed, in bravado, made a sudden sally to join a neighbor. An Englishman who had long watched the rock and was becoming sick with hope deferred, took aim and brought the daring one down. So delighted was he with his luck that he threw himself on his back behind the shallow shelter of his bowler and kicked his heels into air. In his transport his heel rose above the rock, as he was instantly made aware by a bullet transfixing his fluttering ankle—New York Tribune. Diseased by Eating Dead Bats. One whole family and two guests were the other day afflicted with trichinae poisoning from eating sausage, in Nicollet county, Minn. A microscopic examination of some of the muscular ittue from one of the bodies confirmed the diagnosis of trichinae poisoning. The hog whose raw flesh was used in the sausage, after being merely smoked, was raised and killed and is supposed to have contracted the disease by eating dead rats. It is said by the physicians that rats are almost always afflicted by the disease, and that rats often die of it after eating them.

FIRST KNOW THYSELF. If we could pull back the curtain That conceals some of our lives, See the uaked heart and feel it, To be good we all should strive. Often times it would be better If we only knew ourselves, We could love each other better; Others faults we could not tell. If we knew the sobs and sorrows We could tell the pain and woe. We can't tell), what will tomorrow Come and face us at our door Would the grim eternal roughness Seem and wonder just the same We should never try to hinder Those that worship Jesus name. THE RIVALS LAMENT. Let us think over all our pleasures That we've spent together, dear, For they are now at their closing And we can think without a fear. Can you remember those loved moments, When we walked the lover's trail, Of how I swore to you of love, dear. That I said should never fail. Oftimes at the close of evening g And also at break of morn I have thought of you, my darling, But all of this was doomed to not last long. You can, love, also remember That you never once courage said, As if my love and fair attention Should some day be classed as dead. You often said that I could love you As you knew that I would do With my heart all filled with pleasure With my heart all filled with pleasure Thinking, love, only of you. But I never thought you loved another Just as well as I loved you Just as well as I loved you And looked upon me as a brother So much unlike you, Oh! is it true? But I shall never cease to love you As you have never ceased to do. And the path we both walked in Must now be divided into two. If our paths must be divided, Say that you will friendly be; And when I am walking mine so lonely, I will think, loved one, of thee. LUTHER H. S.

THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE 10 MET IN CHICAGO. consultation with the officials of the National Negro Business League and friends throughout the country, it has been decided to call the next session of the League to meet at Chicago, Ills., Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- day, August 21,,22 and 23. It is generally conceded that the meeting held in Boston last August was one of the most suc- cessful gatherings ever held in the history of the race, and that it gave an encouragement and impetus to the race in all lines of business in a way that is now ap- parent in all parts of the country. Any person engaged in any commercial enterprise or properly delegated to represent any indi- vidual or individuals engaged in commercial enterprise, is entitled to membership under such regu- lations as may be adopted. Wom- en as well as men engaged in business should be represented. It is strongly urged that Local Leagues be established in every part of the country where no such leagues riow exist and those already organized be strength- ened wherever necessary, and that these local leagues send del- egates, so far as possible to the National organization, and keep in close touch during the year with the officers of the National organization; that these local or- ganizntions hold meetings month- ly as far as practical; that every- thing possible be done in these local organizations to discourage complicated and useless parlia- mentiary machinery, and that parliamentary and technical dis- cussions be avoided, as far as pos- sible, with a view to concentra- ting time and strength on the real objects of the organization. It is the desire of the officers of our people as well as of the per- persons engaged in business. "These photographs should show both outside and inside views as far as possible, and they should be forwarded to the President of the League at Tuskegee, Ala- bama, as early as convenient. The time has eome for the race to take a long step forward in establishing itself permanently and more generally in the busi ness of the community where it resides. Let no legislaticn or attempted legislation discourage or dis hearten us. There should be no doubting or halting. Every move should be a forward one. To gain recognition and success we may have to struggle harder and longer than others, but out of the very struggle we shall gain a strength that we can get in no other way. The influence and power of intelligence, high char- acter and high standing in the business world, are sure to place the race in the end in a position where it will be honored and treated with justice in every part of the land.

Blends of Lesser Combines Will Be Asked to Agree to Another Confer- ence with the Men—Urging Garland to be Peacemaker. Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 2.—The Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers' national executive board has received a negative reply from J. P. Morgan in answer to the proposition that five additional plants be allowed the union. The refusal was not unexpected. Mr. Morgan said he stood upon his proposition, made to President Shaffer and Secretary Williams in New York on Saturday, that the tinplate, sheet, and hoop companies would sign the amalgamated scale for the mills that were union on July 1. This did not include Clarke's, Painter's, and Lindsay & McCutcheon's mills in Pittsburg and the plants at Wellsville and McKeesport. Falling to get any concession from Mr. Morgan, the amalgamated officials are now trying to secure a reopening of the conferences with the representatives of the constituent companies. The latter offered them four mills—Wellsville, McKeesport, Salesburg, and the Old Meadow plant at Scotdale. They think they can, at least, get these four mills from the manufacturers. President Shaffer called on Joseph E. Schwab, assistant to President C. M. Schwab, and Veryll Preston in the Carnegie office building today. There were rumors that a conference would be held tomorrow, but Mr. Shaffer denied this. Officials of the association say the settlement of the strike is now up to Mr. Morgan and the steel combinés. Those who do not agree with President Shaffer's policy have urged former President M. M. Garland to take hold again of the peace negotiations where he left off last week. Mr. Garland is the surveyor of the Port of Pittsburgh, and is influential on both sides of the controversy. He was making rapid progress toward a conference last week. One of the highest officials of the United States Steel corporation side-tracked him by having President Shaffer and Secretary Williams brought to New York. Mr. Garland stepped aside, thinking that some good would come from the visit. Tleup on Coast Continues.

While here he was accompanied by Governor Yates and Senator Fairbanks. Golf Player Is Drowned. Cleveland, O., Aug. 2.—Walter Snider, son of Martin Snider, a Standard Oil company official, was drowned in a pond on the grounds of the Euclid Golf club at Euclid Heights, a suburb. He was 19 years of age. Players at the links drive the ball over the pond, and then cross on a narrow footbridge. It is supposed young Snider lost his footing while crossing the pond and fell into the water, which is from six to ten feet deep. Two safe-blowers overpowered jaller at Devils Lake, N. D., released three other prisoners, and escaped. The Limited Express Stopped by Robbers Near Chicago. Through Mall Attacked by Mistake and Error Discovered Too Late for a Change—The Robbers Secured Only a $30 Watch. Chicago, Aug. 2.—Masked men, four in number, held up the incoming limited train of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in the darkness of the marshes a little to the east of Edgemoor, Ind., just thirty-one miles from Chicago, at 7:40 o'clock last night. It is thought they made their escape in a boat. Firing a fusillade of shots the length of the train to intimidate the passengers and train crew as a warning against interference, they wrecked a mail car with dynamite, mistaking it for the express car. The car was laden with through mail. At the point of a revolver they forced the fireman to uncouple the first two cars, compelled the engineer to run them 200 feet ahead of the broken train. Then threatening to kill him unless he did their bidding, made the engineer himself apply the dynamite which shattered the car. The United States Express car, carrying thousands of dollars and valuables from New York City, Baltimore, and the East, was the third car from the engine and, discovering their mistake too late to make an effort to get this treasure, the robbers jerked the engineer's watch from his hands and fled over the sand into the darkness of the woods lining the track at this point. They secured no other booty than this $50 watch, and as no one was in the mail car the two charges of dynamite which were fired caused no loss of life. A great ragged hole near the forward door told where one charge of the explosive had torn it the car. The twisted iron supports and the shattered woodwork in the interior of the car told of the terrible force with the sticks of dynamite had exploded. Officials of the United States Express company are reticent as to the amount of money in their car, but it is said the safes contained $50,000. At 2 o'clock this morning a special train, consisting of locomotive and one coach, left South Chicago for the scene of the robbery. The superintendent of the Baltimore and Ohio telegraphed to the police to spare no expenses in pursuing the robbers. Police from the South Chicago station patrolled the beach as far down as the state line on the lookout for any craft in which the robbers might have escaped, and the life saving crew sent a boat out on the lake. Every police station from Hegewisch to Evanson was warned to be on the lookout for "fresh water pirates." Later, special details of men were made to watch along the shore of lake and river. Captain Shippy sent one of his men to Edgemoor to secure the five O'Leary blood-hounds that are kept three miles from the town. A reward of $500 was offered for any information leading to the arrest of the robbers, and it is thought that a greater amount will be offered today. The train was the New York and Washington vestibule limited, due to reach Chicago at 9 o'clock. It was in charge of Engineer J. W. Collins and Fireman F. S. Deveny, both of Garrett, Ind., and Conductor C. A. Cross. MAY DELAY DEDICATION Workmen on New York Y. M. C. A. Naval Beach in a Squabble. New York, Aug. 1.—Work on the new naval branch of the Y. M. C. A. being erected by Miss Helen Gould at a cost of $250,000 as a memorial to her parents has been delayed by a fight between the Amalgamated Society of Plumbers and Gas Fitters of New York and the Plumbers' Union of Brooklyn. Brooklyn plumbers, it is said, asked the employment of Brooklyn plumbers only. This being refused the Brooklyn carpenters, steam fitters and housemitters were called off, and while some few remained at work the completion of the building must wait for a settlement of the difficulties. The ceremonies of the opening day, set at first for Oct. I, are elaborate, but it is feared now they will have to be postponed. It is proposed to invite President McKinley, Secretary of the Navy Long and many officers in the navy are expected to be present. It is also said that the North Atlantic squadron will be ordered to the navy yard at that time. Sentenced for Fifty Years. Dallas, Tex., Aug. 2.—Gregorio Cortez was convicted and given a sentence of fifty years' imprisonment at Gonzales for murdering Henry Schnable, a member of a posse that was pursuing him during the long and exciting man hunt on the Lower Río Grande several weeks ago. Cortez will now be taken to Karnes county for trial on the charge of murdering Sheriff Morris. After that he is to be tried for the murder of Sheriff Clover of Gonzales Killed by a Texas Officer El Paso, Tex., Aug. 1.—At Gleason, Ariz., Jack Koen, who belongs to a prominent Boston family, was shot and instantly killed by Constable Mart Moore. The shooting occurred during an excitement incident to the attempted escape of a prisoner whom Moore had in custody. Koen was accused of aliding the prisoner, who made a break for liberty. The town is greatly excited and further trouble is expected. THE ARREST OF MURRILLO. Official Reports of the Affair by the Governor of Bolivia. New York, Aug. 1. The report of Gov. Valez of the department of Bolivar has been carried to the legation at Washington by Senor Arturo de Brigard, the Colombian consul-general in this city. In his report Gov. Velez points out that Murrillo was designated by Gen. Uribe-Uribe as his peace agent. It being known that Uribe-Uribe was disloyal to his government, officials at Bogota decided that the agent could not be working to any loyal end. In fact he was reasonably suspected of having compromising letters in his possession. It was learned that Murrillo was about to leave Colombia and the police at Barranquilla were ordered to request him to delay his departure until Gov. Velez could have an interview with him. The report goes on to say, that when Murrillo arrived at Cartagena and the local police informed him of the governor's desire to consult with him, Murrillo, in an ugly, abrupt manner, replied that he was well satisfied on board the Allegheny, and if Velez wished to see him he would have to come to his cabin. The governor was much provoked at this discourse, and ordered the proper officers to enforce his request. The incident described in late newspaper reports then ensued. Gov. Velez indicates that he was much incensed by the disposition of both the crew and passengers to prevent the arrest of an offender. Murrillo was not immediately committed to prison, and it was the intention of the governor to hold him under surveillance at Cartagena until his papers could be searched. The governor does not refer to the possibility of an international question arising with Germany. DAILY MARKET REPORT. Chicago Board of Trade. Wheat—Open. High. Low. Close.

Among the Egbert's passengers are: Stanley W. Finch, examiner for the department of justice for Nome; Isaac Hamburger, secretary to ex-Senator Thomas Carter of Montana; Mrs. Mattle Johnson, wife of Deputy Marshal A. W. Johnson; Mrs. B. A. Perrin, wife of a government clerk at St. Michael; Mrs. J. Flannery, wife of Ordnance Sergeant Flannery of Nome; J. R. Pilcher, acting hospital steward, and Privates R. P. McAdam, F. W. Michiel, Charles Wood, and F. W. Wyatt, for Fort Gibson. The recruits are under command of Lieutenant Patrick Mullay, formerly of the Eighteenth infantry. Garcia's Idea of the Tariff. New York, Aug. 1.—Gen. Carlos Garcia, eldest son of the late Gen. Calixta Garcia, and inspector general of Cuban penal institutions, who arrived on the steamer Morro Castle, interviewed upon the Cuban situation said: "It is necessary that Cuba have a reduction in tariff on sugar and tobacco. Between 800,000 and 900,000 tons of sugar were raised this year, and the next crop will be larger than any Cuba has ever gathered. We can not do business, however, without a reduction on sugar." Coal Trust Raises Prices. New York, Aug. 2.—The price of anthracite coal will go up 10 cents a ton more in the local market. This will be the fifth in the series of monthly advances which the trust decided on some time ago. By September 1 the price of white ash will be $7.55 per ton or 75 cents more than was paid in April, 1900. Advances in the price of other grades will be in proportion. Killed by a Constable. Boise, Idaho, Aug. 1.—A special to the Statesman from Weiser, Idaho, says that W. T. Green was shot and killed by constable Nevins. The shooting occurred at a ranch six miles from town. Nevins had a warrant for Green's arrest, and as soon as the constable put in an appearance Green opened fire, but missed. Nevins then shot him through the head. Forbids Poisoning Insects. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 2.—The farmers in the state who have been fighting the grasshopper pest with poison have been warned by the state game warden to cease doing so, as the loss of birds and game is greater than the benefit obtained by killing comparatively few insects. Hundreds of birds have died from poison meant for grasshoppers. Bound for the Philippines San Francisco, Aug. 1.—William N. Schuster and Charles A. Conant, representing the tariff and financial bureau of the war department and more particularly the division of insular affairs, have arrived in this city on their way to the Philippines where they will co-operate with the civil commission. Mad Dog Bites Child. St. Joseph, Mich., Aug. 2—Lizzie Mills, 10 years old, was attacked by a mad dog and badly bitten in several places. She fainted at the first attack, and when rescued by neighbors was unconscious. PROTEST MADE BY SCHLEY Objects to the Word "Disobedience" in the Precept. Aiminal Contends That The Phrasal Differences Radically from "Cannot Obey Orders" — The Quoted Words Here Given Are from Schley's Digpatch. Washington, Aug. 2.—In compliance with the request of Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, the Navy Department will modify the fifth specification of the precept appointing a court of inquiry to investigate his conduct during the Santiago campaign. Rear Admiral Schley's acknowledgment of the receipt of the precept reached the department on Monday, but the naval authorities would admit only today that they had it in their possession. The text of the letter the department declined to make public, but it is known that the admiral objects to the direction of an investigation into "the circumstances attending and the reasons for the disobedience by Commodore Schley of the orders contained in its dispatch dated May 25, 1898, and the propriety of his conduct in the premises." Admiral Schley contended that there was a great difference between "disobedience of orders" and "cannot obey orders," the latter being the phrase he used in his dispatch in answer to the instruction from the department. It is, of course, impossible to give the exact language in which the specifications will be written, but there is every reason to believe that it will be about as follows: "The circumstances attending and the reasons for the action of Commodore Schley in cabling the department in response to the orders of the department contained in its dispatch dated May 25, 1898, 'Much to be regretted, cannot obey orders of the department,' and the propriety of his conduct in the premiss." As this is a quotation of Admiral Schley's own words undoubtedly it will be entirely satisfactory to him. The successor of Admiral Kimberly has not yet been selected. Secretary Long is now considering the matter, and will advise Mr. Hackett of his choice The latter will then issue the order. SEEKS MONEY FROM CARTER. "Uncle Sam" Tries to Secure Part of $2,250,000. New York, Aug. 1.—The government has begun its effort to secure a portion of the $2,250,000 alleged to have been stolen by Oberlin M. Carter, serving a sentence at Leavenworth, Kas. Bills filed yesterday in New York and New Jersey seek a decree declaring that certain property held in New York by the defendants was purchased with the funds intrusted to Capt. Carter as disbursing officer, and by him through conspiracy with the contractors fraudulently converted to his own use. The property, it is charged, is now being held in the name of Carter's uncle and brother for his benefit while he is serving out his sentence in the penitentiary under conviction for the fraud. Under the bill Judge Edward B. Thomas, presiding in the United States Circuit court here, passed an order for service by publication on the non-resident defendants for appearance on Sept. 12, 1901. Frank W. Hubby was appointed temporary receiver for the 8th avenue property, not disturbing the tenants therein until the non-resident parties can be heard. A similar order was made by Judge Andrew Kirkpatrick appointing Mr. Hubby temporary receiver in the New Jersey district, with like powers as to Orange (N. J.) property. Shot Down in the Streets Rice Lake, Wis., Aug. 2.-W. H. Coffin was shot and fatally wounded on Main street by H. A. Sapp. The street was crowded with people at the time. Sapp and Coffin met on the sidewalk, and after a few words the former pulled his revolver and fired four times, two of the shots taking effect. The encounter was the result of an old feud, originating over Coffin's daughter, who until recently had been employed as a clerk in Sapp's store. Both men are prominent in the Methodist church. Lightning Disaster a Man Aguilar, Col., Aug. 2.—Jesus Mestas was completely disrobed by lightning while working in an alfalfa field. A bolt from the sky tore his hat into shreds, stripped his clothing into ribbons, passed down through his body, emerging at the feet, pulling off a heavy pair of brogans, and carrying off the stockings. Mestas was found naked and unconscious. He will recover. Georgia Man Short S34.242 Rome, Ga., Aug. 2—V. T. Sanford, tax collector of Floyd county, was indicted by the grand jury upon charges of embezzlement. It is alleged in the indictment that Sanford is short $34,249, $15,423 being due the state of Georgia and $18,823 to Floyd county. A guarantee company of Baltimore is on Mr. Sanford's bond for $125,000. The bond company claims it is not liable. Student Killed by a Train Ann Arbor, Mich., Aug. 2.—While assisting Railroad Engineer Adams in surveying in the railway yards Henry L. L'Homedieu, son of Superintendent L'Homedieu of the Michigan Central and a student in the engineering department of the university, was struck from behind by the Grand Rapids express and instantly killed. Captain of the Criatobal Colon Says the Admiral Is Brave. New York, Aug. 1.—An interview has been obtained at Madrid from Captain Diaz Moreu, who commanded the Cristobal Colon during the naval conflict off Santiago. Says Captain Moreu in reference to the movements of Admiral Schley: "All the American officers, without exception, did their duty in the naval battle of Santiago. So did we, although it is certain that we were quashed by superiority of force. It is absurd and unpatriotic to make any exception in the case of Admiral Schley. It is absurd; because the Brooklyn was in the thick of the fight throughout. She was at the mouth of the harbor when we tried to pass out, and engaged us with a terrific fire, doing frightful damage to the end. In the pursuit of the Cristobal Colon was surrendered to the Brooklyn forty-five miles west of Santiago. "The Brooklyn was the first to encounter us as we were coming out, and the first to lead in the pursuit, and she kept up the lead, with the Oregon vastly aiding. The Brooklyn landed a shell just ahead of my ship, and with the Oregon helping her, there was nothing left for me to do, but run ashore. "The Brooklyn's conduct was brave, hence Commodore Schley was brave Schley was on post, where he was put by Sampson. After the battle commenced each commender acted according to circumstances and events show that the Brooklyn bore a brave part. I should say that Schley was not only brave, but very competent, as is Sampson, whom I know personally. I don't know Schley, but I am a friend of Capt. Cooke of the Brooklyn, whose photograph I have. On the back of it you can read the following: 'Duty to our flags brought us together in strife. The sea made us friends. May God preserve your life and give to you that measure of blessing which your courage so richly deserves.' "Of all the American ships the Brooklyn was the most exposed to our fire and that of our batteries. Commodore Schley's own report was a model of a plain, sailor-like and gentlemanly statement. Schley directed that our officers retain their personal effects. A coward is never generous. The suggestion of cowardice probably comes from cowards. "I have read in 'El Mundo Naval' that this attack upon an honorable naval officer has a low political basis. The navy should be left outside of politics. "Admiral Sampson's own official report is evidence of the Brooklyn's active part and of Schley's competency and bravery. The adverse criticism is obviously an after-thought. As a naval officer, I deplore it, because the navy should be as sensitive as a woman about its honor." New York, Aug. 1. A cablegram today from Manchester, England, announces that the Guardian, which is known as one of the most reliable and influential newspapers in Great Britain, prints the following story: "John D. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil magnate, while touring England, visited Blddefore, Gloveley, Ilfracombe and Lyton. Mr. Rockefeller was so pleased with the country that he intends to make his home there." Ordinarily a notice of this kind would attract little attention. It is, however, vouchered for by the Guardian, which is famous for accuracy and the exclusive information it frequently obtains from sources not available to others. Among multi-millionaires who have gone abroad to spend wealth amassed here one of the most prominent is William Waldorf Astor, who even renounced his American citizenship to become a British subject. Wildman Wil's Aro Eiled. Wildman Wills Are Filed. San Francisco, Cal., Aug. I.—William F. Aldrich has filed for probate the last wills of the late Consul General Wildman and his wife, the late Lettia Aldrich Wildman, who, with their son, were lost in the wreck of the Rio de Janeiro. The wills were executed in 1899 and in them the consul general and Mrs. Wildman each bequeathed what he or she owned to the other, and, in case of the death of both, to the children. The property will now be distributed equally among five surviving heirs at law. Lightning Kills Two. Bloomington, Ind., Aug. 1. Lightning fired the barn of Willis Alken, near Ellettsville, and destroyed it with contents. Human bones found in the debris led to the belief that two persons had sought shelter in the barn and perished. George and Joseph Prothers, farmers, were instantly killed by the lightning, which struck a tree under which they had taken shelter. Indicted for Perjury. Chicago, Ill., Aug. 1.—Indicments charging perjury have been returned against John A. Hinsey and Henry B. Stolte, former president and secretary respectively of the Endowment Rank Knights of Pythias. Two indicments were returned against each defendant. Walter Decker Nates Dead Walter Decker Nates Dead. New York, Aug. 1—Walter Decker Nates is dead in the city hospital, Brooklyn, of appendicitis. He was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society and the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity. Martial Law Suspended. BEYOND THE HEAT BELT. Mountain Hbreaks and Mountain Sports Available for Those Who Would Be Shocked Heat. Out beyond the plains of Kansas, where the snow capped peaks raise their heads, in Colorado, is the Mecca for swuttering residents of the Hot Salt. There has not been such a season of torridity for more than a third of a century, and it is beginning to tell upon the powers of the people. Their minds are less active, and their bodies are tired, and their systems deblitolated. The best remedy is close acquaintance with nature, fair, and robed in cool greens, and swept by invigorating breezes and fortunately the opportunities are at hand and may be taken advantage of by everybody. The Missouri Pacific Railway with its system resembling a net work of lines in the great southwest, runs fine trains of palatial cars by a direct and agreeable route to Pueblo, and there connections are made with America's most popular scenic route, the Denver and Rio Grande Railway, in whose cars the pullic are carried into the very heart of the great mountain range, through canyons of dizzy depth and along the busy sparkling waters which came from Snowland and brought its coolness with them. There are very many delightful sports in the Rockies and plenty of sport for the hunter and fisher. He displays excellent judgment who steals some time from his business and uses it in the pursuit of a favorite sport and for the benefit of his health. The Rio Grande Western is a natural connection of these two systems already mentioned, carrying their passengers still further toward the western outposts, into still more remote sporting country, and where forest and canyon wear their natural beauty the longer, and so, to the Desert City by the Great Salt Lake. There is no more delightful short tour, and it can be accomplished with comparatively small expense. Sizzling over a desk in the heat of summer is unprofitable and unremunerative self sacrifice and should not be endured when coolness and health are so near at hand. These railway systems make travel a pleasure, and nature, ever kind, is the great restorer. If you have not yet decided to take a summer trip, decide now to do so, and get out of the heat into the coolness of Colorado and Utah. A ripple of laughter is worth a flood of tears.

Recently during the illness of her husband, Mrs. John Bucher directed all the work in a blacksmith shop, a sawnill and the management of a farm, besides taking care of her five children and nursing her husband during a protracted period of sickness. A Philadelphia captain of detectives tells of one of the Malaprops of his force, who, despite his deficiency in education, is a clever operator. Responding to an inquiry, he explained to a friend the possession of two names by a prisoner by saying: "Jim Henry is his real name; Percy D. Klyne is his ananias." Nothing verbal could be much more delicious than Joseph H. Choute's definition of the dinners of the New England society of New York as "Those gatherings of an unhappy company of Pilgrims who meet annually at Delmonico's to drown the sorrows and sufferings of their ancestors in the flowing bowl, and to contemplate their own virtues in the mirror of history." Ex-Speaker Reed was in the supreme court at Washington, D. C., recently, when the justices were slow in assembling. Mr. Reed waited with an elephantine patience. Presently a friend of his leaned over to him and whispered: "Mr. Speaker, can't you count a quorum?" A look of grave reproach overspread the retired statesman's face. "Sir," said he, in a tone of dignity, "you forget that when I counted a quorum there always was a quorum." An unusual tribute was frequently paid to the late Mlle. Cenjette, the French actress. For months she enacted the part of a woman who is poisoned by strychine, and to prepare herself for a faithful representation of the symptoms produced by this drug she had studied its effects on dogs. So realistic were her agonies that medical professors brought their students in the Theater Francais to learn to recognize, through her manipulations, the symptoms of the terrible poison. A clergyman, taking occasional duty for a friend in one of the moorland churches of a remote part of England, was greatly scandalized on observing the old verger, who had been collecting the offertory, quietly abstract a half crown before presenting the plate at the altar rails. After service he called the old man into the vestry, and told him, with emotion, that his crime had been discovered. The verger looked puzzled. Then a sudden light dawned on him. "Why, sir, you don't mean that ould half crown of mine! Why, Ol've 'led off with he this last fifteen years!" When a toper in Denmark is so drunk as to require medical attention, the doctor's bill must be paid by the proprietor of the tavern where the inebriate secured his last drink. Females in Russia are not permitted to study in a university unless they are married. Many girl students form temporary unions with male scholars, to secure the privilege of study. An heroic cure for a corn was tried by Jacob Gannon, an old gentleman of Cincinnati. For years a corn on his great toe had troubled him. He sharpened a chisel, and with it cut off the afflicted toe. Kipling's Impressions of Yellowstone Canon. Of the Grand Canon of the Yellowstone, Rudyard Kipling writes: "All I can say is that without warning or preparation I looked into a gulf 1,700 feet deep, with eagles and fish hawks circling far below. And the sides of that gulf were one wild welter of color—crimson, emerald, cobalt, ochre, amber, honey splashed with port wine, snow-white, vermilion, lemon and silver gray in wide washes. The sides did not fall sheer, but were graven by time and water and air into monstrous heads of kings, dead chiefs—men and women of the old time. So far below that no sound of its strife could reach us, the Yellowstone river ran, a finger-wide strip of jade green. The sunlight took these wondrous walls and gave fresh hues to those that nature had already laid there. Evening creep through the pines that shadowed us, but the full glory of the day flamed in that canon as we went out very cautiously to a jutting piece of rock—blood-red or pink it was—that overhung the deepest deeps of all. Now I know what it is to sit enthroned amid the clouds of sunset as the spirits sit in Blake's pictures. Giddiness took away all sensation of touch or form, but the sense of blinding color remained. When I reached the main land again I had sworn that I had been floating."

The Wabash is placing the first of the large order of equipment, consisting of two baggage, 8 combination passenger and baggage, 30 coaches, 10 chair cars, 3 care cars and 2 dining cars into service. The trains running from Chicago leaving at 11:00 a. m., 3:03 p. m., 9:15 p. m. and 11:00 p. m., respectively, will carry this new equipment. Much comment has been made upon the elegant broad vestibule chair cars in this service. In addition to this extra equipment, the Pan-American Special, running between St. Louis and Buffalo, leaves St. Louis at 1:00 p. m., arriving at Buffalo 8:20 a. m. Returning, leaves Buffalo 1:30 p. m., arrives St. Louis 7:56 a. m. This train has been equipped with the large broad vestibule chair cars and cafe library and observation cars, something entirely new, an innovation in the passenger service. --- The Atlanta Constitution reports the death of L. N. Calvary, a curious character, near Fayetteville, N. C. Calvary was found dead of heart disease in his home. His age was 70. He lived alone. His body was found sitting in a chair. He was the most eccentric man in all North Carolina. He came there thirteen years ago from Newburg, N. Y., bought 100 acres, started a vineyard, built a large house, which he handsomely furnished. He worked on his vineyard and truck farm steadily, but never made a shipment. Each year's harvest was allowed to rot. He worked ten hours a day, timing himself as if working for hire. He recently returned from New York, where he had his bank account. In his house is much fine silverware. He had $300 on his person when found. He sold a twelve-acre vineyard on the Hudson River for $12,000. The "Alice" Society. There is a society in America called the "Alice" society, which obliges everyone to be thoroughly well up in Lewis Carroll's two books, "Alice in Wonderland" and "Alice Through the Looking Glass." The ceremony of initiation appears to be that the sentence, "Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise" has to be learnt in five minutes from verbal dictation. The society appears to have no particular object but that of fraternity. When a member of the "Alice" society goes into the country for the summer, and there discovers other members of the same fraternity, afternoon teas are got up, and one of the rules of this society is that when anyone gives a tea they must have something original in the way of refreshments. The society seems to be rather refreshing and unique.—The Onlooker. Housewife Scalds a Rattlesnake Providence Correspondence of the Boston Journal: Mrs. Claus Peterson, a resident of South Auburn, had a thrilling encounter with a big rattle snake today, and the ever handy kettle of hot water undoubtedly saved her life. As she stood in her cellar kitchen near the cook stove, she was startled to hear a rattling noise, the like of which she had never heard before. She was charmed at first and then terrified at the long reptile which was winding its way down the cellar stairs. When she recovered from her fright somewhat she started toward the snake with a rolling pin, and it curled into an ominous coil. Then its rattle rang out furiously and she retreated to the stove, and seizing a kettle of hot water threw it on the snake. The reptile writhed and soon died. Some time afterward Mrs. Peterson went into the yard and found her cow dead, killed by the snake. Engines Using Petroleum Fuel Engines Using Petroleum Fuel. The Southern Pacific company on its Pacific system has 779 engines, to which have just been added fifty engines, ordered last year, and to which are to be added 103, for which orders are now outstanding. The company now has ninety-five engines using petroleum fuel, while an order has been issued for the equipment of all engines for burning petroleum. Estimating the consumption of the engines at twenty-one barrels of oil each day for 300 days in the year, the consuming power of the engines will be 5,884,200 barrels. Compared with coal, the use of oil fuel, when established throughout the system, will represent a saving to the company of $4,203,000 annually, as determined by previous experience of the road in the use of oil. The Composition of Gas Mantels The mantel used in the Welsbach light is made of a combination or mixture of two rare earths, known as thoria and ceria, and to produce the proper effect they must be combined in a definite proportion, says the Philadelphia Record. If combined in equal quantities they give practically no light, the mantel merely becoming red hot. The effective combination is 99 per cent of thoria and one per cent of ceria. Why this very slight addition of ceria to the thoria should so enormously increase the light is not yet thoroughly understood. It has been found that a mantel made wholly of either earth will give only about one-eleventh as much light as one made of the proportions just named. Society Is Hollow. "Oh, pa!" exclaimed the dear girl, her sapphire eyes brimming over with tears; "how can you say society is hollow?" "Why shouldn't I?" retorted pa, with a coarse, throaty laugh, that betrayed the fact that he paid more attention to making money than acquiring polish. "Why shouldn't I, when I have to pay the bills for feeding the gang that you have here at your blow-outs?"—Exchange. Agricultural Scientists Honored. The authorities of the Paris exposition have awarded a gold medal to Professor W. G. Johnson of Springfield, Mass., formerly state entomologist of Maryland. The medal is bestowed in recognition of his scientific research in the interest of agriculture and as a collaborator on the exhibit of the United States Department of Agriculture. A certain wealthy benefactor of Harvard humorously complained of President Eliot's treatment. "He comes to me," he said, "for my money and my advice; and, like the women in the scripture, the one is taken and the other left." Senator Bailey of Texas has a face like a cherub. It is round and soft and full of color. One day, in the corridor of the senate, he was approached by a giggling young woman, who asked, rapturously: "Oh, senator, where in the world did you get your pretty pink complexion?" Bailey was embarrassed only for an instant. Looking straight in the eye and tapping her lightly on her slightly rouged cheek, he very gravely asked: "Where in the city did you get yours?" Rev. Dr. John Watson ("Ian Macaren") and others recently dined with W. S. Caine, M. P., Mr. Caine offered to give fifty pounds to a hospital fund through the man who would make the best pun on his name within five minutes. Brains cogitated for awhile, and then, just as the time was about to expire and Mr. Caine thought he was to escape, John Watson said: "Don't be in such a hurry, Caine." If this story be true, that two hundred and fifty dollars was about the easiest money that Dr. Watson ever earned. Six Doctors This Time. South Bend, Ind., July 29th: Six different doctors treated Mr. J. O. Landeman, of this place for Kidney Trouble. He had been very ill for three years, and he despaired of ever being well. Somebody suggested Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr. Landeman used two boxes. He is completely cured, and besides losing all his Kidney Trouble, his general health is much better than it has been for years. No case that has occurred in St. Joseph County for half a century, has created such a profound sensation, and Dodd's Kidney Pills are being well advertised, as a result of their wonderful cure of Mr. Landeman's case. The wealthy lawbreaker usually gets less justice for his money than the poor one does. NIP IT IN THE BUD. First Appearance of Dandruff a Forerunner of Future Baldness. That such is the case has been conclusively proven by scientific research. Prof. Unna, the noted European skin specialist, declares that dandruff is the burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp, caused by parasites destroying the vitality in the hair bulb. The hair becomes lifeless, and in time falls out. This can be prevented. Newbro's Herpicide kills this dandruff germ, and restores the hair to its natural softness and abundance. Herpicide is now used by thousands of people—all satisfied that it is the most wonderful hair preparation on the market today. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man know when the baby cries.
