Powers, the Kentuckian convicted of complicity in the murder of Goebel, may be excused if he put some faith in the idea that thirteen is an unlucky number. He was nominated for office June 13, 1899; arraigned July 13, 1900, as one of thirteen conspirators named; was defended by thirteen lawyers; his sweetheart was the thirteenth witness; the evidence showed that 1,300 soldiers were ready to defend him; he gave Culton $1,300 to pay the expenses of the mountaineers; he took $1,300 with him when he fled; the evidence closed Aug. 13.
ECUMENICAL
CONFERENCE
Bishop Walters' Speech in the Ecumenical Conference in England Creates Great Enthusiasm—The White Americans Trying to Destroy the Geod Opinion of the People of England Toward the Afro-American.
The Ecumenical Conference of the various Methodist Bodies of the world met in London, Wednesday. Fully 500 delegates composed the council, coming from every part of the world. Among the number are about fifty colored men from the United States and representing the several Methodist denominations in this country. Among this number is Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the Afro American Council which recently held its session in Philadelphia. Bishop Walters created a sensation by his impassioned plea for his race, and according to dispatches, he received the heartiest welcome accorded any of the American delegaees.
Bishop Walters recapitulated the lynching figures of the year of 1901, and declared that though 90 Negroes had been lynched in only 11 cases had it been proved that there was an assault on white women.
"The English people have always been our friends," declared Bishop Walters. "You gave us a refuge, and now, when we are struggling to implore ourselves, we look to you, our old time friends, to give us sympathy and encouragement, as you did in the past."
The bishop's asseverations of Negro morality elicited loud cheers from the English part of the audience, and several of the many southern delegates went out, while others did not conceal their disagreement with the speaker.
ANARCHISTS MUST GO.
Among the many overlooked evils that destroy a civilized country is anarchist, nihilists and communionist. In what country or where they live, the rulers of that country are always in danger of being assassinated. Within the past 20 years seven rulers of different countries have been assassinated.
Alexander II., czar of Russia, killed by the explosion of a bomb by Nihilists at St. Petersburg, March 13, 1881.
James A. Garfield, president of the United States, shot by Charles J. Guiteau, at Washington, July 2, 1881.
Jose Maria Reyna Barrios, president of Guatemala, shot by Oscar Zollinger, at Guatemala, February 8, 1898.
Ulisses Heureaux, president of Santo Domingo, shot at Moca, Santo Domingo, July 26, 1899. Humbert, king of Italy, shot at Monza, Italy, July 29, 1900.
From the above list alone would be sufficient reason for the expulsion of the anarchist, at least from all civilized countries. Their ideas are low bred, simply a deprived mind utterly void of any good. If we would be permitted to classify such a man as "Pitchfork" Tillman of South Carolina, with this class and dump the whole crowd into the middle of the ocean. We would say amen for the human family is better off.
THE LYNCHERS AND THE ANARCHISTS.
The American people it is claimed do not, nor have they ever lent their support to the encouragement of the riots, mobs or the work of anarchists. But we have always claimed that the
slow way in which courts and those in authority have delt with lynch law would be an encouragement of anarchy.
The open violators would take the law in their own hands. Since the close of the civil war thousands of innocent and helpless Afro-Americans have been brutally murdered, under the pretence of protecting the innocent, and to day such crimes have increased until with no more excuse then they have had in burning and shooting colored men, they have attempted to smite the chief magistrate of the nation. On this occasion, as well as all other important events where bravery, patriotism and love of country inspires one to face even death, the colored man knocked the would-be assassion down and disarmed him, and as we beieve saved the life of the president.
From the battle of the Boston massacre to the charge of San Juan Hill the colored man has in every instance proved himself loyal to the American people, and why is it that he has such little protection in this country? Will the American people have the moral courage to amend and enforce the law, which will compell those who are vicious and are fast paving the way for anarchy to overthrow this government, to deal fairly and honest with all its citizens. There is no braver man then Parker has proven himself to be.
We claim that the lynchers are no better then the anarchists and the sooner they are made to submit to the law and the government of this country, the better it will be for all concerned.
THE NATION'S TRAGEDY
Our nation last week in the midst of a peaceful, joyful happy season, with the Pan-American Exposition in the zenith of its splendor and enjoying a week of pleasure with the Chief Executive, beloved and respected by all nations, was there to partake of the festivities and receive the friendly greetings in the Temple of Music. There a villian, a coward, a fiend, a cold blooded wretch, a would-be assassin, an anarchist of the purest type, while attempting to offer the right hand of greeting, had a revolver in his left hand concealed in a handkerchief, with which he performed the hellish deed of shooting the president twice before stopped, without any reason or cause, (except he said afterwards that he was an anarchist and did his duty.) There is no greater betrayal since Judus betrayed our Saviour. Words are not strong enough to express our condemnation of such a terrible and distardly act, and certainly there is no punishment to severe to be administered; yet the mere punishing of the miserable wretch will not atone or appease our beloved suffering innocent president or restore the happiness to his family.
These hell-hounds of anarchist should be put to death whenever and wherever found. Look at this black record in the past few years: A president of France, a Prime Minister of Spain, an Empress of Austria, a King of Italy, the president of Santo Domingo. Such is what those oath bound murderers have done. Shall America or the civilized world tolerate them any longer? Nay, America has been too lenient on this class of foreign element. We have opened our gate to offal and tramps of all foreign countries, which in our mind is a grevious wrong. Our only hope and prayer in this our sad hour is for the hand that rules the world to

Bird Fans in Vogue
The newest and prettiest fan is quite small and composed of feathers from the breast of pheasant or the peacock. At the same time the tiny fan of lace or painted gauze, elaborately spangled, holds its own in fashion's favor. As a matter of fact, really good fans never look old-fashioned, and one wonders why a girl who has a large sum to expend upon her trousseau does not invest in a beautiful fan—a genuine antique, if possible; if not, a modern work of art.
Trees on the Webster Farm.
The trees now growing on the farm (near Franklin, N. H.) where Daniel Webster was born are to be cut up into friction matches, a manufacturing company having paid $2,800 for the standing timber upon it. The legislature of New Hampshire refused at its late session to pay $3,000 for the entire farm, though many patriotic citizens of the state petitioned to have it preserved as a perpetual memorial of New Hampshire's greatest son.
Birds Which Rise Early.
The greenfinch is the earliest riser among the bird family. It begins to pipe about 1 o'clock in the morning. The blackcap begins at 2:30. It is nearly 4 o'clock before the blackbird appears. It is heard half an hour before the thrush, and the chirp of the robinb begins about the same length of time before that of the wren. The house sparrow and the tomtit take the last stage of the list.
Commands Polar Expedition.
Emperor William appointed Professor Erich Drygalski to command the German south polar expedition. The objective point of the expedition is Kerguelen and thence southward. In case the south polar land is discovered a scientific station is to be erected and maintained for at least one year. The expedition must return in the spring of 1904 at the latest.
Binding an Agreement in China
Binding an Agreement in China.
When you engage a servant or make a bargain in China, it is not considered binding until "the fastening penny" has been paid. Although his bad faith is notorious in some matters, yet, to do him justice, when once this coin has been paid by you the Chinaman, coolie or shopman will generally stick to his bargain, even if the result to him be loss.
Wives of Henry VIII.
Three of the six wives of Henry VIII. of England bore the name of Catharine, viz.: Catharine of Aragon, his first wife; Catharine Howard, his fifth, and Catharine Parr, his sixth and last, who survived him several years. The others were Ann Boleyn, his second; Jane Seymour, the third; and Ann of Cleves, the fourth.
Serving Fruit Raw.
Three points must be observed in serving the raw fruit; first, it must be ripe; second, free from any indications of decay or fermentation, and last, but not least, to enhance the enjoyment of this delightful gift of nature it must be served ice cold. A suggestion of green adds greatly to the enjoyment of the fruit.
An Enormous Diamond
The largest cut diamond belongs to the Rajah of Mattan (Borneo), its weight being 376 carats and its value about $25,000,000. The second largest cut diamond is the Star of the South, found by a poor negress in Brazil. It weighs 254 carats and was once known as the Dudley diamond.
A. Burning Coal Mine
The "burning mountain" of Montet, in Aveyron, France, which is often mistaken for an active volcano, because a pillar of cloud rises from it by day and a pillar of fire by night, is in reality a coal mine which has been burning for several years.
Test for Diamonds.
For diamonds a good test is that of hardness. A genuine diamond cannot be sacrificed by a file or by quartz, and a ruby should stand a similar test; but emerald is not much harder than quartz and cracks easily.
Do Not Gratify Weakness
If thou wouldst conquer thy weakness, thou must never gratify it. No man is compelled to evil; his consent only makes it his. It is no sin to be tempted, but to be overcome.—William Penn.

A Curious Deed.
A curious deed is on file in Northumberland county, Pennsylvania, according to the Sunbury Republican. I bears date of October 9, 1793. In a series of whereases it traces the ownership of the land conveyed from the Creator of the earth, who "by parole and livery of seizin did enfeoff the parents of mankind, to-wit, Adam and Eve, of all that certain tract of land called and known in the planetary system as the earth," down through the ages to the maker of the deed.
Great Britain and Ireland, according to the compiled census returns, has a population of about 42,000,000. The exact figures are: England, 30,805,466; Wales, 1,720,609; Scotland, 4,471,957; Ireland, 4,456,546; the Isle of Man, 54,758; and the Channel Islands, 95,841, making a total of 41,605,177. To this is added an estimate of 400,000 for the men in the army, navy and merchant service abroad and for the troops serving in South Africa.
Old Style Comes Back:
Glazed chintz in exact reproduction of the patterns in use forty years ago is again coming into favor for wall and furniture covering and is exceedingly quaint and cool looking with trails of old-fashioned flowers on a chalk white background. This material is exceedingly durable and after a couple of years' service for furniture covering, it may be reglazed and is as good as new.
Ornamental Designing.
The trades in which the ornamental designer is chiefly employed are the various branches of the textile industry, as the manufacture of cotton prints, carpets, curtain materials, dress goods, etc., and also wall paper and oil-cloth. The salary of a designer of course varies according to his capabilities, but one with artistic taste and originality is always well paid.
Chair of Historical Research.
The Italian government has created at the Royal University in Rome a chair for the advancement of historical research in connection with medieval and modern art. The new chair was created through the efforts of Prof. Venturl, who for the last eleven years has been in charge of the medieval and modern art classes at the university.
Two Calamitous Flres
The two most calamitous fires ever known anywhere in the world occurred in the United States within thirteen months of each other. In the first of these, in Chicago, on October 8-9, 1871, the property loss was $200,000,000, and in the second, in Boston, November 9, 1872, $80,000,000 of property was consumed.
United States Cities
The census taken on June 1, 1900,

MEMBERS OF PRESIDENT M'KINLEY'S CABINET SENDING AND RECEIVING TELEGRAMS AT BUFFALO.
The cabinet sitting at Buffalo has decided upon the character and scope of the bill for the punishment of persons who in the future may attempt to assassinate a President of the United States. It will make such attempts treason, punishable by death.
The bill will be drawn so that not only the President but the Vice President and members of the cabinet shall be included in the protection guaranteed by the measure. Federal courts will be vested with authority and power to deal with the offenders. Federal grand juries may indict them. If they should be apprehended and arrested by the State authorities of the county and district in which the crime happened to be committed the United

States marshal and United States district attorney for the district would be required to assume immediate jurisdiction over the prisoner and case. He could be tried in the Federal district or circuit court.
The cabinet ministers were at first indisposed to include themselves in the scope of the proposed bill, but were persuaded to do so by senators and representatives who happened to be in Buffalo. These members of Congress said that the measure ought to be broad enough in its scope and purpose to make it thoroughly effective.
Attorney General Knox was authorized to make a draft of the bill, which he will submit to his colleagues after their return to Washington. Later on it will be submitted to the President.
Senator Fairbanks of Indiana has consented to introduce the bill on the opening day of the first session of the Fifty-seventh Congress. He says he has no doubt that it will be passed.
General Grosvenor of Ohio will become sponsor for the bill in the House, and he says significantly in discussing its purpose, "I do not believe there will be much opposition to it."
ACCUSED OF KNOWING PLOT.
Man Arrested Who Offered to Bet President Would Be Killed.
On the theory held by United States secret service agents that the city of Camden, N. J., contained one or more persons to whom the plot to assassinate President McKinley was known, Ehelbert Stone, an employee of the New York Shipbuilding Company in South Camden, has been arrested by County Detective John Painter. The direct cause of Stone's arrest was a remark he made while engaged in a heated discussion with Oscar Hansen and Andrew Peterson, fellow employees, just previous to the receipt of news from Buffalo. Stone concluded his argument with these words:
"I will bet $5 that McKinley will be killed before 8 o'clock to night."
When the news of the attempted assassination was received a few hours later the remark was remembered and on Monday the employees told General Manager May about the matter. He asked the Camden police to investigate it.
When taken before Prosecutor Lloyd after his arrest Stone admitted having made the offer to bet, but insisted that it was a joke. This story, however, is not believed by the detectives.
A search was made of Stone's house at Ferry road and Seventh street and incriminating evidence, it is said, was secured.
PROOF HARD TO FIND.
Assassin Falls to Involve Other Anarchists
As events and circumstances begin to shape themselves the police of Buffalo and the men of the United States secret service who are there are being forced to the conclusion that Czoligosz acted without prearrangement with any living person when he shot President McKinley in the Temple of Music on the exposition grounds last Friday, says a Buffalo telegram.
This, too, is the opinion of Secretary Root and Attorney General Knox, who have heard accurate accounts of what Czoligosz has said to the police and the district attorney in the several interviews he has had with those officials. While they believe that he was encouraged to attempt the President's life by incendious writings and utterances of anarchists possessed of greater intellectual resources than himself, they have been forced to the conclusion in the light of all the facts that

have been laid before them that he acted entirely without consultation with a single person. Nevertheless these two astute lawyers of the cabinet are encouraging the work of the police departments of the country in running down every clew, every circumstance and every suspicious report that is brought to their attention. They are encouraged not so much in the belief that actual confederates of Czolgosz will be brought to justice as because they are confident that ratifications of the crime will be found in the groups that exist throughout the country and that perhaps some men and women who furnished Czolgosz with a motive for attempting the life of the President without actually en-

couraging him to commit murder may be enmeshed sufficiently to warrant their indictment for conspiracy.
EMMA GOLDMAS'S WANDERINGS.
Queen of the Anarchists Associated with Czoligosz.
The much sought for Emma Goldman is now in custody in Chicago, to await such action as the authorities may decide to take against her as accessory to the crime committed by Czoligosz. The story of her movements during the last six weeks shows that on the 12th of July (Czoligosz says the 17) she was in Chicago, where she had been stopping with the Isaaks. That night she was to leave for Rochester with Miss Isaak, and on the way to the station she met Czoligosz, who talked with her for some time. Miss Isaak says. Miss Goldman and her friend left that night and stopped at Buffalo en route. Three weeks later they were in Buffalo again, and went to the exposition, and Miss Isaak says they visited the Temple of Music.
Miss Goldman is not heard of again until Sept. 1, although the Buffalo chief of police says she was in Czol-

gosz's company in Chicago on Aug. 18. At the former date she was in Pittsburgh, visiting one Gordon, an anarchist agitator, and attending an anarchist meeting, accompanied by a young man, said to resemble Czolgosz. From Pittsburg she went to Cincinnati, where she staid until Sept. 5, when she went to St. Louis and attended several conferences with anarchists. On the next day the attempted assassination occurred, and the following morning she went to Chicago to be near Isaak, she says, in his trouble. This is all that is known to the public. What evidence the authorities may have is another matter. Meanwhile in his confession the wretch Czolgosz has acknowledged meeting her here in July, and the police have some reason to believe he had been with her in other places.
FRIEND OF CZOLGOSZ JAILED.
Street Speaker in Detroit Arrested for a Seditious Utterance.
Tom Bawden, a Detroit single tax advocate and street speaker, whose defiance of the police brought on the riot in the Campus Martius last May, has been arrested, just after he had declared, speaking of Leon Czolgosz: "I
wish to God that there were a lot of others just such men in this country." Bawden was speaking from his wagon on the campus. He led up to his incriminating remark by saying: "This man who attempted to assassinate McKinley, like many other men believed that the people are oppressed." After his utterance Supt. of Police Downey ordered Bawden to cease talking, and on his refusal arrested him on the charge of disorderly conduct and inciting trouble. Police Commissioner Andrews declares that all advocates of anarchistic doctrines will be driven out of town by the police says a Detroit dispatch.
SURE ASSASSIN HAD AID:
Part of Residents of Cleveland Certain
of Flot.
Public opinion in Cleveland, the former home of Czolgosz, is divided on the question as to whether Cleveland anarchists were concerned in the attempted assassination of the President. The police have utterly failed in their search for evidence of a plot and are convinced that none existed, at least in the immediate circle of Leon Czolgosz's friends and relatives. There is still a widespread belief that such a plot existed, says a dispatch from that city.
Residents of the Newburg district, particularly the workmen who are brought into daily contact with the foreign element of the population, are unanimous in the opinion that the responsibility for the crime does not rest upon one person. The meeting places and the homes of the foreigners are said to be the breeding places for anarchistic propaganda. They are stolid, uncommunicative people and it is little wonder that the city police have been unable to find evidence of a plot.
Makes a Marling Statement:
The police of Danbury, Conn., have been informed by employees in the shop of T. C. Mallard & Co, of that city that Albert Webber, a fellow workman, has stated since the attempted assassination of President McKinley that he was an anarchist and in common with several others of the cult in Danbury expected the attempt on the life of the President to take place during his visit to the exposition.
An investigation has been started which has thus far elicited the information, the police state, that there are about twelve anarchists in the city. Officers went to Webber's house, but he was not there.
Checkmated.
"I never felt so cheap in all my life," declared the well-known business man. "I am a great stickler for honesty and will not have anyone around me of whom I have the least suspicion; and when I find a man that I know I can trust I regard his honesty as a valuable asset and pay him accordingly. The result has been that I have gathered around me a force of whom I am justly proud, from the janitor up to the cashier. The other day my old office boy left me, and I was obliged to hire a new one.

of the numerous applicants I selected a bright and honest appearing boy and put him to work. Then the old question arose. Was he honest? I am old enough to realize that appearances are oftentimes deceitful, and I resolved to test the boy in a mild way. So one night when I departed for home I left a nickle prominently displayed on my desk. After reaching home I felt sorry for what I had done. I realized that by my act I had been placing temptation in the boy's path, and that there was little to excuse my plan; so I was very much relieved the following morning to find the nickel where I had left it. Then I saw that there was something there that I had not left, and that was a bit of paper upon which the money lay, and upon which was written in the new boy's hand the inscription: 'To be left until called for.' I've got a smart lad in that new boy. Too smart, I'm afraid.'
Wife—There is a burglar down in the cellar, Henry. Husband—Well, my dear, we ought to be thankful that we are upstairs. Wife—But he'll come up here. Husband—Then we'll go down in the cellar, my dear. Surely a 10-room house ought to be big enough to hold three people without crowding.

The attempt to assassinate President McKinley, and above all the failure of the surgeons to locate the second bullet, of course turns the thoughts of every one to the plight of President Garfeld when he lay for eleven weeks and more suffering from the effects of Guiteau's bullet, the whereabouts of which the surgeons failed to discover until the knife laid bare its course at the autopsy.
Gulteau's Bullets.
Gen. Garfield was shot at 9:30 o'clock in the morning of Saturday, July 2, 1881, in the ladies' waiting-room of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad in Washington, while he was walking arm in arm with James G. Blaine. He was taken first to a private room in the station and thence removed to the White House. He had been shot twice, first in the right arm, just below the shoulder, and the second and fatal time in the back, just above the right hip and near the kidney. The surgeons who were hastily summoned probed for the bullet without success, but announced that its course had been downward and forward into the groin, and that the wound was serious but not likely to be fatal. The wound in the arm did not amount to much, save for the pain it caused. The President retained consciousness, and when he reached the White House he dictated a telegram to Mrs. Garfield, who was at Elberon. When he was shot down he was on his way to meet her in Jersey City, whence with some members of his cabinet he was to make a trip into New England.
Shock Caused by Shooting.
President Garfield's recovery from the shock of the wounds was very gradual. Later attempts to find the bullet failed, but there no signs at once of serious internal hemorrhage and there was little external bleeding. Both of these symptoms developed later in the afternoon, with vomiting, and at 3:30 o'clock the physicians said that the patient could not recover. A former physician of Gen. Garfield's said that the President had very few chances. The President maintained his courage, kept a clear head and continued cheerful through Sunday, but he asked the doctors to tell him if he was going to die. Hopes of the medical men rose on Sunday, but on Sunday at midnight they had vanished. Serious inflammation had set in during the evening and at 9 o'clock Vice President Arthur was awaiting a summons to the White House to take the oath of office.
Kelleying the Pain.
By noon of Monday the doctors had relieved the pain, which till then had been constant and which the patient had complained of all the time as being in his legs and feet. It was due to the injury of the nerves supplying the extremities. One New York surgeon said after the President's death that these pains he complained of showed that there was trouble in the sciatic muscle region and that this indication should have led the surgeons to make an incision there which would have let out the pus-which afterwards caused so much trouble. At 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon Gen. Garfield said he felt better than at any time since he was shot. He had then a pulse of 110, temperature 100 and respiration 24. The examination up to that time, it was announced, had only demonstrated that the bullet was in the neighborhood of the liver.
Error of Physicians.
From then until the autopsy disclosed their error the aurguese spoke of the President's wound as having penetrated the liver and statistics were evoked for an illustration of the chances of life with such a wound. It was found that of 160 or 170 cases of similar liver wounds in the Civil War, twenty-three were treated successfully. The great danger in President Garfield's case was acknowledged to be, as in the case of President McKinley now, in peritonitis, which it was said then was almost always fatal. On the first evening brandy and cracked ice helped Gen. Garfield to rally. But presently he could not retain that. On the second evening champaign and cracked ice aided him. Then his diet fell to milk and lime water, with, later, some chicken broth and rum of old vintage.
Waiting for Developments.
On the Tuesday following the shooting the patient had as comfortable a day as could be expected and on Wednesday there was the same waiting for developments, which it was hoped might be good, but feared would be bad. All that the doctors could do was to try to keep the patient's strength up. They feared blood poisoning all the time, but could do nothing to prevent it, as they did not know the course of the bullet. They were all ready for instant operation should it develop, as if it did there must be instant operation or death would be certain. The patient might appear to be getting well, but suddenly the blood might come into contact with the putrid matter sloughing from the wound and be turned to gall, and then the patient would die. The operating instruments were kept to hand and the surgeons stood guard.
The Physician's Bulletins.
The newspapers were printing extra editions almost hourly and the physicians were issuing frequent bulletins, but it was well understood—the doctors even saying so—that the bulletins gave little real information. They
merely recorded the pulse, temperature and respiration and left the public to make its own deductions. No diagnosis was made public. From the rise of the surgical fever on July 3, the variations of the pulse to July 6 were from 98 to 126, of the temperature from 98.9 to 101.9, and of the respiration from 19 to 24. Gen. Garfield was told that the bullet had perforated his diaphragm and on that account he mustn't talk. He liked to converse and the doctors wanted to keep him very quiet. They got him to the point where he would even ask mutely for water by putting his hand to his lips. Later he lost all desire to talk.
Appearance of Pus.
Not until Friday was pus—which the physicians said showed that the wound was healing—seen. Ten days after the shooting the patient's temperature reached the highest point—102.8. The doctors all this time believed that the bullet had passed between the eleventh and twelfth ribs, through the liver, and to the abdominal cavity, where they said it had lodged in the anterior wall of the abdomen, from which they expected to be able to remove it readily. in due time, without danger.
Appearance of Evil Symptoms:
Appearance of ELI symptoms.
It was only learned by the public on July 13 that the President had "circumscribed peritonitis," and that he had it since the second day of his illness. This circumscribed peritonitis was defined by a tenderness in the abdomen and it was believed by the surgeons that this located the bullet. They thought that the tenderness due to the peritonitis marked where the bullet had found lodgment, but a little lump there which they thought was the bullet they concluded after the autopsy must have been hard pus at the end of a canal which it had bored for itself from a point near the beginning of the bullet wound. The pus worked forward, while the bullet had gone sidewise across the back; but it was many weary weeks before this was learned, and the sufferer, from abundant health in midsummer, had passed through all the stages to the knife of the post-mortem examiner just before the autumnal equinox.
The "Induction Balance."
The surgeons who attended President Garfield had not relied solely upon the manifestations of the pusworkings, but had employed upon more than one occasion the "induction balance." There had been at least two occasions of serious relapse in the latter part of July and at length Dr. Agnew made an incision. Explorations were made along the pus canal, the supposed course of the bullet, where there was a channel several inches deep, but the results were not satisfactory, so experiments to locate the bullet were made by the induction balance under the direction of Prof. Graham Bell and an assistant. The report of one of them on Aug. 1 said:
Surgeon's Report.
"Under the supervision of the attending surgeons, Profs. Bell and Taintor this morning made another application of the electrical apparatus known as the induction balance, with a view to completing the tests of last week, which were not entirely conclusive, and ascertaining definitely and certainly if possible the location of the ball. * * * They tried this improved apparatus on the President's body for the first time last week, and although it indicated faintly the location of the ball, it was afterward found to be slightly out of adjustment, and the experiment was not regarded as perfectly conclusive. The results of this morning's tests, however, are entirely satisfactory both to Profs. Bell and Taintor and to the attending surgeons, and it is now unanimously agreed that the location of the ball has been ascertained with reasonable certainty, and that it lies, as heretofore stated, in the front wall of the abdomen, immediately over the groin, about five inches below and to the right of the navel."—New York Sun.
Barren Baffin Land:
When Peary practically outlined the northern coast of Greenland early in the last decade, geographers began to think they had overlooked an important section of the earth's surface, and so they placed Greenland at the head of the list of islands. At last Baffin Land looms up as an island 1,005 statute miles in length, with a breadth varying from 200 to 500 miles, the average being 305 miles. Its area is, therefore, about 300,000 square miles. In other words, the island is larger than the state of Texas by about 40,000 square miles, or about ten times as large as either Scotland or Ireland. Although it takes its place as second in the list of islands, Baffin Land appears to be of no great value, since it is composed, as far as we know, of barren rocks, partly covered with ice. The twelve largest islands of the world, in order of size, are: Greenland, Baffin Land, New Guinea, Borneo, Madagascar, Sumatra, Nippon (the largest island of Japan). Great Britain, Celebes, New Zealand (South Island), Java and Cuba.-Sun

from Florida in refrigerator cars of

Sociologists see in the motor car a
possible way out of more than one of
our difficulties. Mme. Schmahl sug-
gests its use as a kitchen which would
travel over a regular route leaving
Yeady-cooked meals at the houses of
ite patrons and would thus reduce the
labor of the household without taking
away any of the pleasures of the fam-
ily life. A perambulating restaurant
for supplying suitable food to the sick
is already in operation in Berlin.
‘Washington as = Lumber State.
‘Washington ‘s the principal lumber
state in the Union. It has an esti-
mated two hundred billion feet of mer-
chantable timber, an amount that
would allow of cutting at the present
rate for 100 years before its exhaus-
tion. But the same wasteful methods
prevail there which have denuded some
of the older states of their timber, and
there is the same lack of provision for
the future.
epics eeteoe
The slowness of the process of tan-
ning is largely due to the difficulty
with which the tanning penetrates into
the hide. As the penetration progresses
the outer part of the hide becomes
converted into leather and is thereby
made impervious, consequently the
rate of penetration decreases. Months
of soaking in the tanpit are therefore
necessary for thick hides.
About Wax Matches.
The best matches used in this
country are imported, and come from
England. No other manufacturer in
the world, it is asserted, has mastered
the art of making a wax match that
will remain stiff in the warmest cll-
mates. Moreover, the English wax
match has an ivory finish which others
have never been able successfully to
imitate.
‘The Horses of London.
It has been estimated that 25,000
horses are employed in the London
metropolitan carrying trade, that their
value is a million and a quarter, and
the cost is, for food alone, £800,000 a
year. A rule prevails of foraging the
horses on 3d an inch per week; that is,
a horse costs as many shillings a week
as it stands hands high.

‘The Making of Pens.
In 1820 pens began to be made by
Gillott, who manufactured them of

great advance upon the fron-barreled
pens that had been previously mad.

LITERARY NOTES.
E. Nesbit’s new story, which will be
published in the autumn, will have the
queer title, “The Wouldbegoods.”
S. R. Crockett’s new book, “Love
Idylls,” will be published soon. I¢ will
be uniform in size with “An Engttsh-
woman's Love Letters.”
Maurice Thompson's “Alice of Old
Vincennes” is to be published in Great
Britain, as is also “The Story of Eva,”
the Chicago novel by Will Payne.
Few persons are aware, even in Eng-
land, that a privately printed collec-
tion of unpublished writings from the
pen of Robert Louis Stevenson Is
about to be issued.
In Dr. Minot J. Savage’s new book,
“The Passing aud the Permanent in
Religion,” the author tries to make
clear the great positive elements of re-
ligion which cannot pass away.
Henry James was recently told that
Sarah Grand, the novelist, says she
was 14 years old before she ever
learned to read or write. “She hasn't
learned to write even yet,”. he re-
marked.
Edmund Gosse is about to become
a publisher. His first venture will be
a collection of the poems of his friend
Austin Dobson which have been writ-
ten since July, 1899, when the last edl-
tion of his collected poems was pub-
ished. The new book will contain
about thirty pieces, among them being
poems on the war and on the late
queen. Mr. Gosse intends to charge
$3.20 for each copy.
A new book on “Modern Strategy,”
which is said to be a work of import-
ance, will be published soon. It is the
work of Capt. Walter H. James of the
British army. It is a treatise on the
strategy of today and deals with the
effect which railroads and telegraphs
and the increase of newspapers have
had on war. The campaigns chosen to
{uustrate it are chiefly taken from the
Napoleonic wars and those of recent
times. At the end of the book a chap-
ter has been added on the effect of
modern weapons upon tactics.
IN A NUTSHELL
an size, not counting colonies, the
European powers stand in this order:
Russia, Austria, Germany, France,
United Kingdom, Italy.
Imeteration from Earope.
More immigrants are said to be a
riving from Europe this year than ever
before. Most of them come from
southern Europe and Scandinavia
Italy furnishes the largest quota this
season. Most of them are comin
west to work on railroad extensions 01
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 Fad 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
@ third after heathen gods and god-
desses, to have two months of doubt-
ful nomenclature, and to designate the
semaining four by misleading numer-
fcals, 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 im-
pare the color of the silk. Brown or
blue paper is better; yellow India
paper is better still. Silk intended for
ress should not be kept in the house
Jong, 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 out-
alde, sewed together at the edges.

; A MILE A MINUTE,
igh Speed by Trolley Car im fhilee
dolphia.
In whatever other respects Phlladel-
shia may be slow she bas a trolley car
which sweeps through the city in the
gray hours of dawn and which, taken
jay by day, is swifter than anything
tise of its kind or class in the world,
jays the New York Sun. It starts from
the heart of the city just after the
aewspapers are out of press and tears
away through the silent streets in a
northerly and westerly direction, up
and down hill and along valleys, with
accasional stops to throw out bundles
until twenty-seven minutes later tt
sests on the northern summit of Chest-
aut hill, fourteen and three-quarter
niles away. This is at the average
rate of thirty-five miles an hour, in-
sliding at least one stop every three-
fourths of a mile. Sometimes on Its
coute it has run a mile in a minute
and an eighth and it has made the dis-
tance in twenty-five minutes, includ-
Ing the stops, which is just the sched-
ule time of the steam express trains for
practically the same distance between
the same places, though on neither the
Reading nor the Pennsylvania rait-
ways do the trains make any stops.
Sometimes, as on market day, there
are interrugtions, when sleepy teams
get on the lines of metals, and occa-
sionally another trolley car gets be-
hind time ‘and doesn’t give it the right
of way promptly, but despite the occa-
sional delays, for two yeas, in all
conditions of weather, facing rain or
snow, With mechanical Incidents ad-
verse to its career, it has ma‘lz on an
average thirty-five trips out of thirty-
five on time and only once has it been
longer than forty-five minutes in cov-
ering the distance. "On that occasion
the wreck of a hay wagon was on the
read and for this the Eagle Flight
trolley was not responsible. From the
fact that this car carries the morning
newspapers for distribution it might
be thought to be a journalistic enter-
prise in Philadelphia, but this is not
the case. It is an experiment by the
Union Traction company to test the
maintenance of high speed and the
evenness of schedule time under con-
ditions peculiarly favorable for secur-
Ing exact factors for all the problems
it is sought to solve. Every trip is ob-
served by electrical experts, the induc-
tion is estimated, the power measured,
the state of the metal, the thermomet-
tical and barometrical conditions noted
‘as well as the humidity and fog at the
| different elevations along the line, and
jwhen 1,000 trips have been mude the
data thus gathered will be considered,
with a view of formulating a result to
be applied in such directions of econ-
omy and accelerated speeds as may be
‘spened up.

CAUSES SURPRISE.
Gonnecticut Man Declares Bis Asses
ment Ia Much Too Low.
Robert M, Bruce, one of the mil-
Honaires of Gieenwich, Conn., a former
cotton broker and a friend of EB. C.
Benedict, has caused surprise by ap-
pearing 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 piid any attention to the
making ont of his list of taxable prop-
erty, leaving {t 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 asses-
sors promised to comply with his
wishes and it is understood that they
will raise the taxes of all other mil-
jonaires there to some extent. Mr.
Sruce’s example is the subject of much
comment, For wany years past Green-
wich has raised $90,000 by taxation,
and has pent $30,000 more than it
raised, The debt has rolled up to
nearly $i,000, The town appointed
in investicuing ‘committee and the
embers ivnoried that more money
must be ta! oJ by taretion. Fixing up
the taxes Inet fall was pit over until
next spring, ‘The assessors figured up
che amount ef inxable property and an
nerease of the tax rate seemed prob-
ble. Perbuus who have looked up the
matter say that there appears to be

McKINLEY SHOT BY AN ANARCHIST
Assassin Tries Kill President.
Terrible Act at Buffalo
Done While Thousands Were Greeting Chief Executive.
While shaking hands with the public from a platform in the Temple of Music at the Buffalo exposition at 4 p.m. Friday afternoon President McKinley was stricken down in the act of extending his hand in kind and friendly greeting to Leon Czolgosz, his murderous assailant. Receiving the warm hand-clasp of the head of the nation the man who sought his life fired two shots with the other and stood back to view the terrible work of the
PRESIDENT WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
PRESIDENT WILLIAM M. KINLEY.
THE MEMORIAL
assassin. The first shot struck the president in the breast, the 32-caliber bullet flattening on the bone. The second and serious wound was a bullet hole in the abdomen, about five inches below the left nipple and an inch and a half to the left of the median line. The bullet which caused that wound penetrated both the interior and posterior walls of the stomach, going completely through that organ. It was found that as a consequence of the perforation the stomach fluid had circulated about the abdominal cavity.
STORY OF, THE SHOOTING.
Authentic Account of Attack Made by Cozolgosz
Many hundred people had shaken nands with the president, one of the last being a burly colored man. He murmured his acknowledgements of the honor and moved on to make way for a heavily built young fellow about 28 years old, who was slowly following him in the long line.
Carried a Handkerchief.
There was nothing to mark him from the thousands around him, except that he carried a handkerchief in his hand and even that, perhaps, was scarce worthy of note, for the building was small and crowded, the weather was sultry and thousands of handkerchiefs were in constant requisition. The young man moved rapidly to a position immediately in front of the president, so close that he could have shaken his hand. As he had done so many hundreds of times in the preceding half hour, Mr. McKinley bowed, emiled genially and extended his hand. But the young man did not grasp it, so quickly that the watchful eyes of the president's bodyguard had no hint of the menace in his movement, he raised the hand in which the handkerchief was held and fired two shots at the president. The handkerchief had covered a revolver, which he had carried thus openly through the crowd.
At the sound of the shots Detective Ireland of the secret service force leaped from the man like a tiger and close behind him came the colored man who had just shaken hands with the participant. While they struggled with him on the floor President McKinley took a step backward and was instantly clapped in the arms of Detective Gerry, another member of his bodyguard. The president did not fall, nor did he reel, although both bullets had struck him. Half turning his head to the officer, he asked:
"Am I shot?" Evidently he had been so stunned with surprise that he had not felt the impact of the bullets. While he was speaking the officer and Secretary Cortelyou had been leading
him backward to a chair and had torn open his vest. Blood was on his shirt front and Detective Gerry, answering his question, said: "I fear you are, Mr. President." Secretary Cortelyou sank on one knee beside the president's chair and gazed anxiously into his face. Tells Friends Not to Fear.
Tells Friends Not to Fear.
"Do not be alarmed," said the president, "it is nothing."
His head sank forward Into his hands a moment and then he raised it briskly, while the stream of crimson welled from the wound in his breast and spread in an ever-widening circle on his white shirt front.
"But you are wounded," excalmed Mr. Cortelyou, "let me examine."
"No, no," insisted the president, "I am not badly injured, I assure you."
With a bullet in his breast, and an-
JOHN H. HARRIS
other through his stomach, he did not lose consciousness. He sat almost as stanch and straight in his chair as though his assailant's shot had missed, and he seemed the calmest and least perturbed of the immense gathering. President Milburn and Secretary Cortelyou were almost frantic with alarm, but the wounded man continued to assure them that his injuries were trifling. This dramatic scene upon the little platform was enacted in the midst of a terrific tumult, which continued uninterruptedly for many minutes.
Secret Service Men Active.
When the secret service men and the colored man first threw themselves upon Czolgosz, the assailant of the president, and pinned him to the floor lest he should try to use the revolver again, twenty more men hurled themselves upon the scrambling quartet and buried Czolgosz from sight. Every man in that struggling, crazy throng was striving to get hold of Czolgosz to strike him, to rend him, to wreak upon him in any way the mad fury which possessed them instantly when they realized what he had done.
The greater part of the crowd was stunned for an instant by the enormity of the crime they witnessed, but when the reaction came they surged forward like wild beasts, the strongest tearing the weakest back out of the way and forcing themselves forward to where the prisoner was held by his captors. All the time a tumult of sound filled the place, a hollow roar at first, punctuated by the shrieks of women, swelling into medley of yells and curses. Men said unintelligible things as they pushed and crowded toward the center of the swaying mob. They wanted to lynch Czoligosz, whohever he was. They wanted to see him and they shouted vainly at the police officers in front to drag him out.
Mad Efort to Kill Czolgosz.
The little force of exposition guards, penned in by the clamoring mob, fought desperately to hold their prisoner from the bloodthirsty crowd. They had Czolgosz safe and fast. His revolver had been wrenched from his hand in the instant that Detective Ireland fell upon him, and he was helpless, bruised and bleeding. His face was cut when he was thrown to the floor and a dozen eager, vicious hands had struck at him and reached him over the shoulders of the officers.
Slowly, very slowly, the little force of police made way through the crowd, dragging the prisoner between them. They were determined there should be no lynching. Things were bad enough as it was, and a lynching would have been the crowning horror of the day.
From outside the building, where the news spread from lip to lip, more
PLAN OF THE BUFFALO EXPOSITION, SHOWING TEMPLE OF MUSIC WHERE THE PRESIDENT WAS HOLDING RECEPTION WHEN SHOT BY ANARCHIST (ZOLGOSZ.
thousands pushed and jostled and shouted in their eagerness to enter the building. Those inside were struggling in two directions—the more timorous to escape from the place before a stampede should crush out their lives, and the hot-headed to reach Czoligosz—only to reach Czoligosz was their one idea.
President's Self Control.
And thus the contest raged while the president sat, pale but calm, in the midst of the excited little group on the platform. It was impossible to take him away at the moment. Every doorway was jammed with a crazy, shouting mob moving in two directions, trying to escape and trying to enter. Toward the main door the police were fighting their way with fists and biliies to get Czoligosz out of the crowd and place him behind the bars. Upon the minutes which were speeding might depend the president's life, for no medical aid could reach him in that maelstrom, and it was evident that he was sorely wounded.
More police came plunging into the crowd from headquarters, where the direful news had sped. They hurled themselves upon the swaying mob, they stuck and pushed and shouted commands, and it slowly gave way just enough so they could reach the little band struggling to save Ccolgosz from a sudden and frightful death. They dragged him out, hustled him away through the beautiful exposition grounds and threw him behind barred doors, where he was saved for the law to deal with him.
Removal to the Hospital.
Massing their men where they could best handle the excited crowd, the police cleared a passageway to one of the doors for the bearing away of the president, and on the stretcher of an ambulance which had come clanging to the door he was tenderly carried from the building and borne in the ambulance to the emergency hospital, near the service building, within the exposition grounds.
Though this takes long in the telling, probably it was not more than five minutes from the time the shots were fired until the president was in the hospital, and a hasty examination was begun by the surgeons. They discovered that one bullet entered the breast almost directly in the center or on the median line, but whether or not it had passed into the lungs could not be determined except by probing. The other had struck in the abdomen five inches below the left nipple and one and a half inches .o the left of the median line. Immediately under that spot is the stomach, and the gravest fears were entertained regarding the consequences of that shot. The president was subsequently removed to the house of President Milburn, where the best medical aid was at hand. It is from the residence of Mr. Milburn that the bulletins are so eagerly awaited by the sorrowing American people.
CONFESSES HIS GUILT.
Leon Czolgosz, Without Remorse Tells
of Attack on President.
Leon Czolgosz, the accused and self-confessed assassin, has signed a confession covering six pages of foolscap, in which he says that he is an anarchist, and that he decided on the act three days before and bought in Buffalo the revolver with which it was committed. He is unmarried. He claims to be a member of the Golden Eagles. Czolgosz has seven brothers and sisters in Cleveland, and the directory of that city has the names of about that number of persons of his name living on Homer street and Ackland avenue, a Polish settlement in the far southwestern part of the city. Some of them are butchers and others have different trades. Czolgosz's father lives on a farm about eight miles from Cleveland. The assassin is detained at police headquarters pending the result of the president's injuries. Czolgosz does not appear in the least uneasy or penitent for his action. Czolgosz shows no sign of insanity, but is very reticent about much of his career. While acknowledging himself an anarchist, he does not state to what branch of the organization he belongs. As near as can be learned the facts contained in the confession are as follows: The man's name is Leon Czolgosz. He is of Polish-German extraction. His home is in Cleveland, where he has seven brothers and sisters. He is an avowed anarchist and an ardent disciple of Emma Goldman, whose teachings, he alleges, are responsible for his attack on the President. He denies steadfastly that he is the instrument of any body of anarchists or the tool of any
coterie of plotters. He declares that he did not have a confederate. His only reason for the deed, he declares, is that he believed the present form of government in the United States is unjust, and he concluded that the most effective way to remedy it was to kill xxthe President. These conclusions, he declares, he reached through the teachings of Emma Goldman. Five alleged anarchists were arrested in Cleveland and taken to police headquarters After a rigid examination they were released.
Immigration Commissioner Urges Exclusion From United States.
Washington telegram: Commissioner of Immigration Powderly is bitter toward anarchists and in an interview said: "The immigration laws can be amended so as to exclude from landing in this country persons known to be anarchists abroad by requiring of every immigrant to present a certificate from the municipality in which he resided at home to the effect that he was a respectable, law-abiding man; that he was not in any way identified with any anarchist organization, and that he was of good character. In order to make such a law effective representatives of the immigration bureau should be stationed in foreign countries whose duty it should be to carefully examine into the character of the immigration tending toward the United States.
"I recommended in my annual report for the fiscal year 1900 that all persons landing in this country be liable to deportation during the term they reside here before becoming naturalized or for the period of five years. It is all very well to talk of the United States as the asylum of the oppressed. That did very well years ago, but that was before immigration began to flow so rapidly to our shores. The need of an asylum is not so great now as it was and the danger of making this country a prison and an asylum for vagabonds is increasing every year.

BY THE DUCHESS.
CHAPTER XIX.—(Continued.)
"You should not hit a man when he is down," he said, reproachfully.
"I don't think you will be long down," returned Blount with an encouragement nod that somehow made Denzil's heart beat high, though he did not dare to take the words in their under meaning. "And now I must be off. No, thank you, my dear—I can not stay to dinner; I have so many things to attend to before seven. But tell Sir George I will look him up again in the morning. And give my love to the girls; and tell Mildred that I know, and she knows, there is but one man in the world can ever make her happy."
He looked kindly at Denzil as he spoke, but the latter would not accept the insinuation conveyed in his words. Mrs. Younge, however, noticed both the glance and the significant tone, and a light broke in upon her.
When Lady Caroline had followed Dick Blount out of the room she went over and knelt down by her son.
"Denzil," she said, lovingly, "I know it all now. But am I never to speak of it?" And he answered as he kissed her: "Do not let us ever mention it again—there's a darling mother."
But all that night Mrs. Younge gazed at the girl and wondered, pondering many things and blaming, woman-like, yet feeling in her heart the while that the choice her son had made was indeed a perfect one.
After this Denzil made rapid strides toward recovery, growing stronger, gayer and more like the Denzil they had known in the first days of their acquaintance than he had been for some time before his illness. He could now walk from room to room and take long drives, though Stubber still insisted on some hours in the day being spent on the sofa. Miss Trevionan Denzil saw daily, though seldom alone—and who shall say how much this conducted toward the renewing of his strength?
It wanted but a fortnight of Charlie's wedding day, and Denzil, who was feeling a little tired, and was anxious to attain perfect health before the event came off—having promised to attend in the character of "best man"—was lying on the lounge in the library when Mildred came in.
"I did not know you were in from your drive," she said. There was less constraint between them now than there had ever been. "Did you enjoy it?"
"Very much indeed."
"So you ought," she said. "Could there be a more beautiful day?" She threw up the low window as she spoke and leaned out. "The air reminds me of summer, and the flowers are becoming quite plentiful, instead of being sought longingly one by one."
"Yes," returned Denzil, vaguely, thinking all the time what an exquisite picture she made, framed in by the window and its wreaths of hanging lvy.
"By the bye, did you like the bunch I gathered for you this morning? See—there they are over there."
"Were they for me?" asked Denzil, looking pleased. "I did not flatter myself that they were."
"Well, yes, I think they were chiefly meant for you," returned Mildred, carelessly. "Invalids are supposed to get every choice thing going—are they not—though indeed you can scarcely come under that head now."
She threw down the window again, and came back toward the center of the room.
"Mildred," said Denzil suddenly—he had risen on her first entering, and stood leaning against the chimney-piece—"there is something connected with my illness, a dream it must have been, that, whenever I see you, preys upon my mind. May I tell it to you? The vivid impression it made might perhaps leave me if I did."
"Of course you may," answered Mildred, growing a shade paler.
"Come over here then and sit down; I can not speak to you so far away." She approached the hearth rug and stood there.
"I will warm my hands while you tell me," she said, determined that, should it prove to be what she half-dreaded to hear, he should not see her face during the recital.
"Well, then," he began, "I thought that, as I lay in bed one evening, the door opened, and you came into the room, and, walking softly over to my bedside, stood there very sorrowfully looking down upon me. We were alone, I think"—passing his hand in a puzzled manner over his forehead, as though endeavoring vainly to recollect something"—at least I can remember no one else but us two, and it seemed to me that presently you began to cry and stooped over me, whispering something, I forget what, and I took your hands like this"—suiting the action to the word"—and then some figures came toward us, but I waved them back, holding you tightly all the time; and"—here he paused, his eyes fixed earnestly upon the opposite wall, as though there he saw reacting all that was struggling for clearness in his brain"—and I asked you to do something for me then—something that would aid my recovery more than all the doctor's stuff—and you—"
"No, no, I did not!" cried Mildred,
vehemently, unable longer to restrain
her fear of his next words, and trying passionately to withdraw her hands.
"Yes, you did!" exclaimed Denzil, excitedly; "I know it now. It was not fancy—how could I ever think it was!—it was reality. Oh, Mildred, you kissed me."
"How dare you?" cried Miss Trevanton, bursting into tears. "You know I did not; it is untrue—a fevered dream—anything but the truth."
"Do you say that?" he said, releasing her. "Of course, then, it was more imagination. Forgive me; I should not have said it, but the remembrance or it haunts me night and day. This room, too, fosters all memories. Here for the first time I told you how I loved you; and here, too, you refused me, letting me see how wild and unfounded had been my hope that you also loved me in return. Do you remember?"
"Yes, yes, I remember," Mildred answered, faintly, turning her face away.
"Over there"—pointing to a distant couch—"we met again, after weeks of separation and oblivion—since you say that past thought of mine was but, a dream—and I felt when you enter" the room how undying a thing is love You see this place is fraught with pain to me, and yet I like it. I like to sit here and think, and picture to myself those old scenes again, only giving them a kindlier ending." "Do you still care to recall them?" she asked in a low, broken voice. "I shall always care to recall anything connected with you," he answered, simply; then—"Did I ever thank you, Mildred, for coming to my assistance on that last hunting day? I think not. I have no recollection of all that occurred, but they told me how good to me you were." "It was the very commonest humanity," she said.
"Of course that was all. You woul have done the same for anyone. I know that. Still I am grateful to you. Then suddenly, "Why did you break off with Lyndon?" "You have asked me that question before," she said, "I know I have, and I know also how rude a question it is to ask; and still I cannot help wishing to learn the answer. Will you tell me?" She hesitated and then said, slowly: "He discovered, or fancied, that I did not care sufficiently for him; and he was too honorable to marry a woman who did not accept him willingly of her own accord." "When did he make that discovery?" "We ended our engagement the evening of your accident," she answered, evasively, and with evidant reluctance.
"Mildred, if I thought," he began, passionately, trying to read her face, "if I dared to believe what your words appear to imply I might be mad enough again to say to you words that have ever fallen coldly on your ear. I would again confess how fondly I love you—how faithfully during all these wretched months I have clung to the sweet memories of you that ever linger in my heart."
She shrunk away a little and covered her face with her hands.
"Do you still turn from me, Mildred? Am I distressing you? Darling, I will say no more. It is indeed for the last time in all my life that I have now spoken. Forgive me, Mildred; I am less than a man to pain you in this way; but, oh, my dearest, do not shrink from me, whatever you do; do not let me think I have taught you to hate me by my persistence. See, I am going, and for the future do not be afraid that I shall ever again allude to this subject." He drew near her and gently kissed her hair. "Good-by," he said, once more, and then, slowly almost feebly, walked down the room toward the door.
Miss Trevianon stood gazing after him, her blue eyes large and bright with fear; she had an intense longing to say she knew not what. Oh, for words to express all that was in her heart!
Her hands were closely clasped together; her lips, pale and still, refused to move. It was the last time—he had said so; if she let him go now it was a parting that must be forever; and yet she could not speak. Her love, her life was going, and she could not utter the word that would recall him. Already he had turned the handle of the door; the last moment had indeed come—would he not turn?
"Denzil!" she cried, desperately, breaking down by one passionate effort the barrier that had stood so long between them, and held out her hands to him.
"My love!" he said, turning. And then in another moment she was in his arms and all the world was forgotten.
A Good Cook.
To be a good cook means the knowledge of all fruits, herbs, balms and spices, and of all that is healing and sweet in the fields and groves, and savory in meats. It means carefulness, inventiveness, watchfulness, willingness and readiness of appliance. It means the economy of our great grandmothers and the science of modern chemists. It means much tasting and no wasting. It means English thoroughness, French art, and Arabian hospitality. It means, in fine, that you are to be perfectly and always ladies (loafgivers), and are to see that everybody has something nice to eat—Ruinik.

Who is it that does not wish to be out in the open air or alive in some field of sport, whether it be with the bat, rod or gun; whether we go coasting over the hills and vales on the wheel or sailing over rough waves or into serene coves, it is all sport, and the springing muscles seem to need it. It is bound to happen that some mishap will occur. Thus it is that we have sprains in abundance. Light sprains, sprains that cripple, sprains that give great pain, sprains that rob us of sleep, but sportsmen of all kinds have come to know that there is nothing better than the old reliable St. Jacob's Oil. Have it with you for use; you may rely on its cure of the worst sprain and restoration to the comforts of life.

Many of the starches now being used in washable fabrics contain ingredients that break and blister the goods so that after a few washings they are of little service.

CONSUMPTION
Physicians Elated at Result of Night Consultation.
Food Remains on the Stomach, and There Seems Little Danger of Relapse or Any Complication—Mrs. McKinley Makes Regular Visit.
Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 13.—President McKinley continues to show remarkable recuperative powers and thus far there has not been the slightest unfavorable symptom. If he were an ordinary man he would be pronounced cured by the surgeons, but subject, of course, to the usual supervision of a family physician. This is the condition of President McKinley at present. His temperature has been reduced until it is far below the danger line and his general physical condition is such that he needs little attention except the care of his family physician, Dr. Rixey, and the trained nurses who are in attendance.
Night Consultation Cheering.
The night consultation of the physicians furnished, in some respects, the monosensuring news which has et come reassuring a problem. A microscopic count of the blood had been made during the day by Dr. Wasdin. At the evening conference the result was submitted and found to be perfectly satisfactory. There had been no abnormal increase of white corpuscles such as would have existed had blood poisoning set in, and the doctors had the satisfaction of announcing officially that the count of the blood corroborated the clinical evidence of the absence of any blood poisoning.
President Flinced In New Bed.
The President was bathed and given nourishment while all the doctors were present and afterwards was placed in his new bed. The members of the Cabinet were all below stairs while the consultation was in progress and remained until after the bulletin was prepared and issued. They were so elated over the improvement in the President's condition and the absence of any unfavorable symptoms that Secretary Root announced that he felt free to depart and that he had decided to go to New York tomorrow. The surgeons have nothing to do now except to watch for unusual conditions. They say the public should be on its guard against rumors as to sudden changes in the President's condition.
Indications of Relapse May Come.
It is more than probable that within the next few days the President will have restless hours and his temperature may increase slightly. There may even be strong indications of a serious relapse. The physicians in attendance are anxious that the people should understand this fact, so that they may not interpret these inevitable setbacks as something dangerous. President McKinley at the present time is in splendid physical condition, in spite of his wounds, and he has entirely recovered from the shock incident to the operation. He is, therefore, in a position to resist and overcome ordinary difficulties, which might not be the case if he were weak or if there were serious complications.
Mrs. McKinley Sees Hubbard.
Mrs. McKinley saw the president in the morning. When the doctors arrived at the house for the consultation they passed her sitting in the upper corridor of the residence at work on her knitting. She was in good spirits, and after the visit of the doctors they gave their assent to her entering the sick room again. She remained only a minute, as the physicians are avoiding any sapping of the president's strength by prolonged visits, even by those nearest to him.
Now Takes Much Nourishment.
Dr. McBurney laid particular stress on the fact that the president is able to take a great deal of nourishment, which was an important factor in the treatment of his case. It was this one thing needed to strengthen and build him up after the ordeal which has so weakened him. He is now taking about an ounce of beef juice every hour, and so far the stomach has not rejected any of it. The wound, which it was found necessary to redress, is progressing satisfactorily and Dr. McBurney said it had improved considerably.
Early Morning Bulletins.
Milburn Residence, Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 12, 3:00 a. m.—So far as outward signs go there is no change in the condition of affairs at the Milburn house. All appears quiet within. The nurses says the president is still sleeping.
Milburn Residence, Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 12, 1 a. m.—President McKinley has been sleeping well for three hours. The last bulletin issued by the doctors, at 10 p. m., follows:
"The president's condition continues favorable. Blood count corroborates clinical evidence of absence of any blood poisoning. He is able to take more nourishment and relish it. Pulse, 120; temperature, 100.4.

M'Kinley Calls For Illinois Day.
Chicago, Sept. 13. At the personal request of President McKinley the program for Illinois day at the Pan-American exposition next Monday will be carried out in full as planned.
The spielers at the Midway at the Pan-American exposition are a quick-witted lot of men, and take advantage of every remark, good, bad or indifferent, made by the spectators who listen incredulously to their harangues. One of them, however, waxed so eloquent a few nights ago, in depicting the attractions of the entertainment which he represented, that brawy tiller of the celli who stood before him, ejaculated: "By gum!" "No, buy tickets!" shouted the spieler, quick as a flash, and he had the farmer's half-dollar before the latter realized what he was about.
A few seasons ago, Denman Thompson put on on a piece called "The Sunshine of Paradise Alley," in which Richard Jose, the sweet-voiced tenor who has been appearing at the Orpheum, was to sing with a quartet. Thompson wrote a small stuttering part for him, and, although he mastered the lines, on the first part, instead of stammering, the words dropped. You never saw a more disgusted man in all your life." says Jose, "than Bob Eberle, the stage manager. Since then I have stuck to my singing, have given up minstrelsy and intend to stay in vaudeville."
One day, just as Pere Monsabre, the celebrated Dominican preacher of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris, was preparing to ascend the pulp, a message came to him that a lady wanted to see him who was worried about it, and after much waste of time she came to the point. She was given up to vanity. That very morning, she confessed, she had looked in her looking glass and yielded to the temptation of thinking herself pretty. Pere Monsabre looked just at her and said, "That's all." "Well, my child," he replied, "you can go away in peace, for a mistake is not a sin."
Couldn't Wear Shoes.
Sumpter, Ill., Sept. 9th.—Mrs. J. B. Flanigan, of this place, had suffered with dropsy for fifteen years. She was so very bad that for the last three years she has not been able to wear her shoes. She had doctored all the time, but was gradually getting worse. Last winter Mr. Flanigan, who was very much discouraged, called for some medicine at Mr. J. J. Dale's drug store in Carmil. Mr. Dale persuaded him to have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and he bought six boxes. His wife used five out of the six, before she was entirely cured. She is now as sound and well as ever she was, completely restored to health, and free from any symptom whatever of dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanigan is pleased at her wonderful deliverance does not half express her feelings, and she and Mr. Flanigan are loud in their praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of Mr. Dale for recommending this wonderful remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills cured Mrs. Flanigan of such a severe case of dropsy, after the doctors had given her up, has made them the most talked of remedy ever known in White county.

Easy Come. Easy Go.
The man who creeps along bent over, with his spinal column feeling in a condition to snap like a pipestem at any minute, would readily give a great deal to get out of his dilemma, and yet this is only the commonest form by which lumbago seizes on and twists out of shape the muscles of the back. This is commonly known as backache, a crick in the back, but by whatever name it may be known, and however bad it may be, 10 minutes vigorous rubbing with St. Jacob's Oil on the afflicted part will drive out the trouble and completely restore. It is a thing so easily caught, it may be wondered at why there is not more of it, but because it is so easily cured by St. Jacob's Oil may be the very reason that we hear so little of it.

BISHOP GRANT, OF INDIANAPOLIS.
Bishop A. Grant of Indianapolis,
Ind., writes the following letter:
Gentlemen—"I have been using Peruna for catarring and can cheerfully recommend your remedy to anyone who wants a good medicine."—A. Grant.
Prominent members of the clergy are giving Peruna their unqualified endorsement. These men find Peruna especially adapted to preserve them from catarring of the vocal organs which have always become the name of public speaking and general catarral debility incident to the sedentary life of the clergyman. Among the recent utterances of noted clergymen on the curative virtues of Peruna is the above one from Bishop Grant.

Writes His Recommendation for the Famous Catarrh Remedy, Pe-ru-na.
The day was when men of prominence hesitated to give their testimonials to proprietary medicines for publication. This remains true today of most proprietary medicines. But Peruna has become so justly famous, its merits are known to so many people of high and low station that none hesitates to see his name in print recommending Peruna. He letters from pastors who use Peruna speak for themselves. Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, of Greensboro, Ge writes: "My little boy had been suffering for some time with catarrh of the lower bowels. Other remedies had failed, but after taking two bottles of Peruna the trouble almost entirely disappeared. For this special malady I consider it well nigh a specific."—Rev. E. G. Smith. Rev. A. S. Vaughn, Eureka Springs, Ark., says: "I had been prostrated by congestive chills and as almost dead so soon as be, I needed the use of Peruna. I took five bottles; my strength returned rapidly and I am now enjoying my usual health."—Rev. A. S. Vaughn.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his written opinion. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, OH

WHAT IS WORTH WHILE?
What is worth while?
Asked a lady, with a smile,
Of a young man with sober mind,
But not with thought oppressed,
For he was not refined.
He asked her then,
Did poets, bards, and sages
In good old olden times
When they, in search of knowledge,
Such questions have in mind;
And do young men of to day
With smile and happy song,
Who never pick life's pathway
Ere give thought to such a thing?
Or do they all go wrong?
And do mothers who, with babies
Just nursing at their breasts,
Think it worth while to teach them
Their proper course through life?
Do fathers with experience
Of many thihgs in life,
Give warning to their boys
That keeps them out of strife?
And young girls, when they marry
Not for worth, but for style,
After years begin to worry
And ask "Was it worth while?"
People of all nations
Born in every clime:
Don't stop to ask such questions
Or think "Was it worth while."
Then I, who, young and inexperienced
Nor in nature's school been drilled
Do not these things give hindrance,
But wish my brain was filled
With that important question:
For, in truth, then I could smile
And say unto all nations
The thing that was "worth while."

"Oh, sir," said a poor woman to a Scottish minister who was by no means a popular preacher. "Well do I like the day when you give us the sermon." "Indeed," said the minister, flushing with pleasure. "I wish there were more like you, my good woman. It is seldom I hear such words from any one." "Maybe their hearing's stronger than mine, sir," said the woman, promptly, "but when you preach I can always get a good seat." —New York Tribune.
Consumption of Coal on Steamships.
The Paris and New York of the American line (20 knots) burn about 300 tons of coal daily to produce 18,500 horse-power. The Cunarders, Lucania and Campania (22 knots) burn 475 tons to produce 30,000 horse-power. The Kaiser Wilhelm burns more than 500 tons and the Deutschland more than 560 tons daily. The coal bunkers of the American line contain 2,500 tons, while those of the Deutschland have a capacity of 4,800 tons.
Champagne Cup
Cut two ripe nectarines into slices, also half a large orange and a lemon, taking care to remove the pips. Scatter two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar over the fruit, then add a wineglass of brandy and half the quantity of chartreuse. Place the jug containing the ingredients either on ice or in an icebox for an hour, then add a quart of ice champagne. Remove the fruit and pour in a pint of ice seltzer or apollinaris water.
Six Ex-Governors of Tennessee.
Six former governors of Tennessee are living. They are James D. Porter, who was first elected in 1874 and served two terms; Alvin G. Hawkins, the solitary Republican incumbent in recent years; William B. Bate, who is now one of the United States senators from Tennessee; Robert L. Taylor, who served three terms, though not consecutively; John P. Buchanan, and Peter Turney.
Posting the Editor
The following unique letter has been received by the Philadelphia Record: "If my wife writ eny stuf to you in regard to a young Ladie in yuer city do not writ her up in yuer paper as the ladie will bring slander and damages against the Reckerd if you do as there no need of my wife being jlous of that Ladie as that young Ladie is all right and a perfect Ladie."
Buying Cotton from Egypt.
We purchase from Egypt, strange to say, over forty-four million pounds of cotton annually. Efforts are being made to produce substitutes for this cotton by hybridizing. There is every prospect that we are succeeding in producing the long, fine staple that now comes from the land of Pharaohs, and for which we pay over $6,000,000 annually.
Woman Produces "Cold Light."
A "cold light" has been produced by a woman, Mme. Currie, of the Municipal School of Physics, Paris. It is called radium and is due to the action of certain salts on uranium salts. When treated the substance becomes permanently luminous without heat. Placed in gunpowder it creates a glow, but there is no explosion.
Wants Essay in Era-
Sir Thomas Lipton, the London tea merchant and yachtsmaster, offers a reward of $250 for the best essay in Erse on Brian Boru. A similar prize will be given for the best essay written in English on "The Early Institutions of Ireland." The Irish Literary Society of London is to be arbiter.
Ingenuity.
The following ingenious mode of crossing a river was once displayed by a kaffir, who had for some time stood watching the vain attempts of a party of soldiers to cross the stream at a time when to ford it was attended by considerable danger. After smiling at their efforts with that sardonic expression remarkable among the se savages, he quietly raised a heavy stone, placed it on his head and then walked, with perfect ease, through the torrent to the opposite side.
Tom—"Was it hard to tell Miss Autumnal you loved her?"
Jack—"Not half so hard as it was to explain matters after I got sober."—Chicago News.
If we could only look at our own troubles as philosophically as we do at those of others happiness would come easy.
FORECAST OF FASHIONS.
▲ fichu effect of Hamburg is pretty on a wash frock.
Lawn collars with colored borders are the latest fad. Very long waisted effects are now the fashion for small children.
Black grenadines, both plain and figured, are offered in great varieties. A popular style of trimming for the street and everyday hat is the draped silk scarf. Gainsborough and Duchess of Davonshire hats appear among the high-priced millinery. Rich, dull black is exceedingly becoming to golden-haired, fair-complexioned women. Embroidered pongees appear beautiful in the excellence of their fiber and needleworked design. Costly netted fringes add greatly to the grace of the sweeping, clinging gowns of soft fabrics.
Long, unlined sleeves are again the mode of evening gowns. They are made long over the hands.
Entire gowns of crape for either the street or the house are exceedingly handsome, and always becoming.
Plaited and flounced skirts will be worn the entire summer season for morning, afternoon and evening.
French chalis and sheer nun's velling are two very favorite materials in the preparing of the summer outfit.
Black and white is perhaps the most favored combination of the season, and some lovely effects are to be seen in simple materials.
All waists have a becoming fullness at the front and skirts are extra full at the bottom. Puff effects are also noticeable on the sleeves.
Striking-looking parasols are those made of silk of broad pronounced stripes, running around the upper part of the parasol, while the lower part is of chiffon and silk. Mercerized sateens, which very closely resemble satin fouiard, and soft silk and linen mixtures in dainty colorings, striped, dotted, and plain of surface, are among the favored materials for shirt waists for morning wear this spring.
HAPPY TIT-BITS.
"Poor Matie, her marriage was a disappointment." "Was it?" "Oh, yes; she didn't get half the nice presents she counted on."
"You are not addicted to any kind of athletics, are you?" "Athletics?" Gracious man, I earn a good living for a family of seven.
"The doctor says I must go away for a change of climate," said Mrs. Dukane. "If that's all you need," replied Dukane, "stay right here, and the change of climate will come to you."
"Wait a minute," she said to the young man. Now, the young man, being a wise party, immediately went to the telephone and told his friends he would possibly be with them in two hours.
Mistress—Bridget I am tired of your carelessness. Only look at all that dust lying about on the furniture; it is six months old at the very least. Maid (very dignified)—Then it is no fault of mine. You knows, very well, mum, that I have been with you only three months.
WHAT THE LAW DECIDES.
A loan made to a married woman on her credit, although she gave notes therefor payable to her husband, which are void, is held in National bank vs. Tyndale (Mass.), 51 L. R. A. 447, to sustain an action at law against her estate upon the common counts for money lent or money had and received. Bona-fide residence of the plaintiff in a suit for divorce is held, in Bell vs. Bell, U. S. Adv. Sheets 55i, to be necessary to give jurisdiction of a suit for a divorce against a resident of another state, and a recital of facts necessary to give jurisdiction is held not to be conclusive on the courts of another state.
Actual notice of proceedings for divorce in a court of the state which has always been the domicile is held in Atherton vs. Atherton, U. S. Adv. Sheets 544, not to be necessary to bind a non-resident defendant if reasonable efforts to give her actual notice are required by the state statutes and are actually made.
ODDS AND ENDS.
There are now fifty-eight factories, with 250,000 horse-power in the French Alps.
The number of Japanese at present living in the United States is estimated at 35,000.
The population of the German empire includes 3,000,000 who use the Polish language.
The Neodesha·(Kas.) Register has a report of a shale bed that shows the prints of horses' feet, shod.
In New Hampshire the state government pays a bounty on dead grass-hoppers at the rate of $1 a bushel.
"Tartar" morocco is the leather of which the new card cases and purses are made. The colors are delicate and artistic.
Although the letter carriers have been ordered to wear shirt waists, they are not forbidden to deliver mail in wrappers.
Godmother on Wholesale Scale.
Ex-Empress Eugenie of France is not only godmother to the children of an immense number of personal friends, but also to 3,384 of her husband's subjects who were born on March 16, 1856, the day that her son, the ill-fated prince imperial, first saw the light.

WHAT IS WORTH WHILE?
‘What is worth while?
Asked a lady, with a smile,
Of a young man with sober mind,
But noc with thought oppressed,
For he was not refined.
He asked her then,
Did poets, bards, and sages
In good old olden times
‘When they, in seareh of knowledge,
Such xuestions have in mind;
And do young men of to day
With smile and happy song,
Who never pick life's pathway
Ere give thought to such a thing?
Or do they all go wrong?
And do mothers who, with babies
Just nursing at -heir breasts,
‘Think it worth while to teach them
‘Their proper course through life?
Do fatbere with experience
Of many thihgs in life,
Give warning to their boys
‘That keeps them out of strife?
And young girls, when they marry
Not for worth, but for style,
After years begin to worry
And ask ‘Was it worth while?”
People of all nations
Gorn in every clime:
Don't stop to ask such questions
Or think “Was it worth while.”
‘Phen 1, who. young and inexperinced
Nor in nature’s school been drilled
Do not these things give hindrance,
But wish wy brain was filled
With that important question:
For, in truth, then I could smile
‘And say unto all nations
‘The thing that was “worth while.”
