He has been taking lessons on that instrument for some time now, and is jubilant over his progress. COMING TO IOWA. The Republican State Central Committee has received a letter from John L. Waller, offering his service for the campaign in the state this fall. Mr. Waller has just returned from Cuba, where he is engaged on government business. He is one of the most prominent men of his race in the north-west and the committee is fortunate in receiving him. He was counsellor to the Island of Madagasca during the administration of President Harrison, and it will be remembered that he had troubebe with the French government, also his imprison-during the struggle of the French to obtain possession of the island and the treatment he received while in that prison. Mr. Waller has a host of friends that would be pleased to hear him on his return to the state. DO YOU KNOW That honesty is the best policy. That we need 500 new subscribers. That the BYSTANDER can do your job work. That the A. M. E. Church has a new preacher. That the A. M. E. Church should have a choir. That A. B. Cummins will be the next governor of Iowa. That indolence and laziness are the chief obstacles to success. That gambling and kindred evils are destroying the foundation of good society. That the young people should realize that it is a pleasure to do something for society. That those who will not pay their honest debts are millstones about the neck of the race. That a good literary society in each of our churches would be a good thing for the young people. That success and prosperity will crown the efforts of the one who will take of any honest work they may find. Why are 99 per cent of the anarchists in this country democrats will some one tell. It is the lower class that is against the colored man; it is also the lower class that is against this Government. Davenport Republican says: The Negro race may have its faults, but it has never produced an anarchist. The big Seni Om Sed midway and Horse Show will open next week. Promises to be one of the best ever given. Half-fare rates has been secured on all railroads running into the city. The portrait of the late president McKinley will appear on the next issue of $10.00 national bank notes to be made by the government. When the colored men of this state learn to stand together as do other races, they can do more for the race in the way of business as well as politics, which compel all business enterprises to recognize us. Thousands of dollars are spent annually by our people. The leading colored men of Alabama will hold a meeting in Birmingham this week to consider the new state constitution, which is ment to deprive them of their right to vote. The leaders of the race say that if the disfranchisement is sustained the colored people will migrate and settle in Porto Rica or the Philippines. And as men they demand the same treatment that is accorded to other men. That is what they will strive to find. BYSTANDER. NEGROES AS LAND OWNERS Indianapolis News: The accumulation of land by the Negroes, as set out in the July bulletin of the United States department of labor, suggests an element in the Negro problem for its wise settlement. In one of the oldest slave states already 490,000 Negroes have gained possession of over 1,000,000 acres of land. Surely such a work in one generation from slavery is enough to offset many discouragements. For the most part the Negro first got land by the gift of practically useless swamp lands, chiefly in pay for services. Such land they have redeemed, and it has been the basis for larger holdings that have gone on. Throughout the country, according to these statistics, there are 1,410,769 Negroe heads of families. Of these 264,298 own their homes and farms, while 1,146,481 are tenants. Advancement of this kind as well astn industrial education may be classed as among the silent forces that are working but the vexed problem, while apparently the relation of the races becomes more and more strained. For, while the black man is being steadily deprived of franchise, all the time he appears to be going forward, laying up more and more the accumulations of industry. MUSCATINE NEWS. Last Week Mrs Fannie Grooms entertained at supper Thursday evening Rev. and Mrs. Gordon, Mrs. Ousley, Misses Nora Taylor and Florence White, Messers. Henry Seay and Burton Powell. The Dunbar society met last Friday evening and elected officers. Mrs M. I. Gordon left Monday for Davenport, enroute for Chicago to attend Conference.

A free lunch was served, consisting of ham sandwiches, pickles and coffee and home-made taffy candy. M. S. R. Watson, the oldest member in the church, set fire to the papers, and as the flames leaped up, the applause was loud and long. It was a day that will never be forgotten. Rev. Gordon, our pastor deserves great praise for his untiring efforts in raising the amount of indebtedness. A farewell social was given at the church Monday evening for Rev. Gordon.

E. church were conducted last Sunday by Rev. Carter, principal of the Industrial school. Mr. Geo. F.

Sweetmeats for Wives At the "stag dinner" of the Fishmongers' company in London each man gets a casket of sweetmeats to carry home to his wife. And the outside caskets make neat workbaskets. --- OF TERN HATS seen made up ening... E BRADLEY, st Street. DANISH PROVERBS. Even crumbs are bread. Opportunity makes the thief. Faint praise is akin to abuse. Short flax makes long thread. Power often goes before talent. Death does not blow a trumpet. Gray hairs are death's blossoms. Praise a fair day in the evening. Alone in counsel, alone in sorrow A short cut is often a wrong ear New comers are always welcome. Every bird needs its own feathers. Let every bird sing its own note. Trust everybody, but thyself most. We must suffer much, or die young. Every man thinks his copper is gold. Every wind is against a leaky ship. Unwilling service earns no thanks. A woman's first counsel is the best. He that courts injury will obtain it. He who flees proves himself guilty. He who needs proves himself guilty. Do not wade when you see no bottom. It is bad to lean against a falling wall. Better the child cry than the mother sigh. We must sow even after a bad harvest. An ill-tempered dog has a scarred nose. Never let fools see half finished work. Even he gets on who is drawn by oxen. Big words seldom go with good deeds. It is folly to fear what one cannot avoid. He is easy to lure who is ready to follow. Little sorrows are loud, great ones silent. Riches are often abused, but never refused. Every fool thinks he is clever enough. Under white ashes lie often glowing embers. A thankless man never does a thankful deed. It is the raised stick that makes the dog obey. It is hard to pay for bread that has been eaten. WISE AND OTHERWISE. Love and philosophy are sworn enemies. Old age commands respect—except in poultry and jokes. Some men are in advance of their age, but women are always a few years behind it. The failure of a bank may not upset the depositor, but he is apt to lose his balance. You have to give some men a sound thrashing before you can command their respect. No matter how erect a general may be he is apt to learn more or less on his staff. The girl who used mucilage to keep her hair in curl has been much stuck-up ever since. Perhaps some people talk to themselves because they find it impossible to interest any one else. In order to retain her youth and popularity all a girl has to do is acquire a fortune and remain single. The average man does just as many queer things when he isn't in love as when he is, but they are less conspicuous. What a merry old place the earth would be if it were to lose its atmosphere. All bodies would then lose their gravity. Says a rural editor: "We trust our subscribers will pardon us for appearing a day late this week. Our wife borrowed our scissors to eat our son's hair." Fall Hats are ready—Mason's Caleb Powers and Number "13." 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 unhucky number. He was nominated for office June 13, 1899; arraigned July 13, 1908, 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. --- 图象 --- RACE ECHOES.

There has been over 3000 lynch- ings in America during the past twenty years, the majority of the unfortunates being colored. A colored man has been made captain of the British schooner Sarah E. Douglsss. He is Capt. Robert G. Sawyer, of Eleuthera island, Bahamas. Capt. Sawyer was born in the West Indies. In boyhood he followed the life of most colored boys in the Bahamas, which consisted in diving for conch shells, sponges and fishes, and owing to the geography of the country, they spend the best part of their lives in small boats, crossing the rivers, bays and sounds which honeycomb the island. Eighteen years ago the captain went to sea in deep sea vessels. He educated himself and mastered mathematics so that he could solve the intricate problems of navigation. He then became a navigator, and wts seen here in the West Indies schooners Brothers and Sarah E. Douglass as navigator of these vessels between the West Indies and Baltimore in the pineapple season.

One difference that suggests itself is that whereas Ellijah was fed by the ravens, Dowle is fed by the gulls. New York Herald. Candidate Not Tall Enough. A young woman at Conway Springs, Kan., advertised for a husband and the advertisement was answered by a young farmer living near Pratt. Correspondence followed and in time the pair became engaged. Recently the young fellow went to see his lady love for the first time. When he arrived at her house and before he could salute her she scanned him over critically and said: "I can never marry you. You are three inches shorter than my ideal and we never could live happily." And that ended the affair. Typhoid Killing British Soldiers.

Variations in children's gowns blossom out from time to time, even though they are very slight, and small girls rival their mothers in their ambition to keep up to date. Soft wool materials make up very prettily in this way. In figured French flannel the collar may be made of the same and trimmed with rows of narrow braid or velvet ribbon. Skirts of the small gowns are usually plain, but the older girls have some sort of trimming, either tucks, stitched bands, ruffles or velvet folds, stitched on. The long-waisted mode, in which the waist line rounds down low in front, is conspicuously evident among the gowns for girls over 10 years of age, and the small gowns for dainty little girls of 6 imitate this fashion as much as possible by having the long waist all around. Guimie dresses, which never seem to go out of style, are suitable for all ages, from 6 to the more mature years of middle age. Bolero jackets are very popular in the kingdom of small costumes, and the attempt to produce the effect of stolk ends is seen in one little gown, where narrow lace reverses are carried down the entire length of the front, as shown in the illustration. Another pretty effect is made by two box plaits in front, one at either side from the yoke to the hem, and two in the back, giving a long effect to the waist, which is defined with a narrow velvet belt ending in small velvet rosettes at either side of the front on the plaits. The skirt gathers on to the waist between the plaits, which apparently are a continuation of those in the waist. A sailor collar of lace covers the shoulders in the back and opens in front over a yoke of tucked white silk or batiste. Thin gowns of point d'esprit for party wear are variously trimmed with ruches, ruffles, lace insertion and rows of colored satin ribbon. A pretty feature of the small girl's costume is the coat and hat to match.—New York Sun. CAUSES SURPRISE. 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 $20,000 by taxation, and has spent $20,000 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.

Lawn collars with colored borders are the latest fad. Very long walsted effects are now the fashion for small children. Black greendadines, 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. Galnsborough and Duchess of Devonshire 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 challis 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 foulard, 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. Mald (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 551, 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.

He was born in New York City, October 27, 1858, his father, after whom he was named, being a prominent merchant, a patriot, a philanthropist, and a moving spirit in the Civil War. The elder Theodore Roosevelt went to Washington after the first Battle of Bull Run, and warned President Lincoln that he must get rid of Simon Cameron as Secretary of War, with the result that Mr. Stanton, the "organizer of victory," took his place. When the war was fairly under way, it was Theodore Roosevelt who organized the allotment plan, which saved the families of eighty thousand soldiers of New York State more than five million dollars of their pay; and when the war was over he protected the soldiers against the sharks that lay in wait for them, and saw to it that they got employment. Through his influence the New York newsboys' lodging-house system and many other institutions of public benefit and helpful charity were established. There were four children in the Roosevelt family, of whom Theodore was the second. There were two boys and two girls. A younger brother was killed in a railroad accident, and the hopes of the father were centered on Theodore. At the age of five or six, Theodore gave little promise of maintaining the prestige of the Roosevelt family line. The President's Early Boyhood. One President's Early Boyhood. He was a puny, sickly, delicate boy. Some one who knew him in those days of the Civil War described him as a "weak-cyed, pig-chested boy, who was too frail to take part in the sports of lads of his age." When he arrived at the age of six, he was sent to the famous old McMullen School, where he remained for eight years. It was not, however, in New York that the boy Roosevelt spent with most profit the months to which he looks back with pleasure. The elder Roosevelt believed that children best thrive in the country. He selected a beautiful spot near the village of Oyster Bay, on the north shore of Long Island, and erected a country house which well deserves its title, "Tranquility." Here it was among the hills which border the sound and the bay, that Theodore Roosevelt and his brother and sisters spent the long summer months. At fourteen Theodore was admitted to t. t. Cutler School, a private academy in New York conducted by Arthur H. Cutler. He here took the preparatory course for Harvard University, making rapid advancement under the careful tuition of Mr. Cutler, and graduating with honors. Becomes an Athlete. By careful attention and plenty of gymnasium exercise and out-of-door life his frame became more sturdy and his health vastly improved. It thus happened that when young Roosevelt entered on college life at Harvard, in 1875, he suffered little by comparison with boys of his age. While he did not stand in the front rank of athletics, he was well above the average, and had no reason to be ashamed of his physical prowess. Never for a waking moment was he idle. It was either study or exercise. In addition to his regular studies and special courses he took upon himself the editorship of the college paper, and made a success of it. He was democratic in his tastes and simple in his mode of living. Theodore Roosevelt was graduated from Harvard in 1880 with high honors. In spite of severe study, his health was but little impaired, and he at once started on a foreign journey in search of instruction, pleasure and adventure. He distinguished himself as a mountain climber, ascending the Jungfrau, the Matterhorn and many other peaks, and was made a member of the Alpine Club of London. Begin Study of Law. On his return to America he studied law, and in the fall of 1881 he was elected to the State Assembly from the Twenty-first District of New York, generally known as Jacob Hess's district. By re-election he continued in the body during the session of 1883 and 1884. He introduced important reform measures, and his entire legislative career was made conspicuous by the courage and zeal with which he assailed political abuses. As chairman of the Committee on Cities he introduced the measure which took from the Board of Aldermen the power to confirm or reject the appointments of the mayor. He was chairman of the noted legislative investigating committee which bore his name. In 1884 he went to the Bad Lands in Dakota, near the "Pretty Buttes," where he built a log cabin, and for several years mingled the life of a ranchman with that of a literary worker. From his front door he could shoot deer, and the mountains around him were full of big game. Amid such surroundings he wrote some of his most popular books. He became a daring horseman and a rival of the cowboys in feats of skill and strength. In 1886 Mr. Roosevelt was the Republican candidate for Mayor against Abram S. Hewitt, United Democracy, and Henry George, United Labor. Mr. Hewitt was elected by about twenty-two thousand plurality. In 1889 Roosevelt was appointed by President Harrison a member of the THEODORE BUSY ROOSEVELT'S LIFE. 26th PRESIDENT of the U.S. United States Civil Service Commission. His ability and rugged honesty in the administration of the affairs of that office greatly helped to strengthen his hold on popular regard. Police Commissioner in New York Roosevelt continued in that office until May 1, 1895, when he resigned to accept the office of Police Commissioner from M. for Strong. He found the administration of affairs in a demoralized condition, but he soon brought order out of chaos. Says James A. Rlis, who is an intimate friend of President Roosevelt: We had been trying for forty years to achieve a system of dealing decently with our homeless poor. Two score years after the department had pointed out that herding them in the cellars or over the prisons of police stations in festering heaps, and turning them into a landfill, way from door to door, was indecent and inhuman. Since then grand juries, academies of medicine, committees on philanthropy, and disregard, but to no purpose, Pestilence ravaged the prison lodgings, but still they stayed. I know what that fight meant, for I was one of a community that waged an effort to be offended every time, until Theodore Roosevelt came and destroyed the nuisance in a night. I remember the caricatures of the newspaper editor, while the yellow newspapers pursued him at the label, labeling him the "poor man foe." And I remember being just a little uneasy lest they wound him, and not being so, but not he. It was only those who did not know him who charged him with being hasty. He thought a thing out quickly, and, having thought it out, suctioned action to his judgment. Of the consequences he didn't think at all. He made sure he was right, and then went ahead with persistence that things would come out right. His Advice to Organized Labor. Mr. Hils says he never saw Roosevelt to better advantage than when he once confronted the labor men at their meeting-place, Clarendon Hall: The police were all the time having trouble with all the men and their "plokets." Roosevelt saw that it was because neither party understood fully the position of the other, and, with his usual directness, sent word to the labor organizations that he would like to talk it over with them. The police were not in the meeting. It developed almost immediately that the labor men had taken a wrong measure of the man. They met him as a politician playing for points, and hinted at trouble unless their demands met. Mr. Roosevelt broke them off short: "Gentlemen!" he said with that snap of the jaws that always made people listen—I asked to meet you, hoping that you would be willing to meet her. Remember, please, before we go further, that the worst injury anyone of you can do to the cause of labor is to counsel violence. It will also be worse for himself. Understand distinctly that order we can proceed. I was never so proud and pleased as when they applauded him to the echo. He then applauded for the hearsay that the best in them had come out on top, as he expected it would. papers. It was of this incident that a handle was first made by Mr. Roosevelt's enemies in and out of the police board—and he had many—to attack him: It happened that there was a music hall in the building in which the labor men met. The yellow newspapers circulated the letter he wrote when he saw the scene and difficult story was repeated until actually the liars persuaded themselves that it was so. They would not have been able to understand with, had they tired. Accordingly they fell into their own trap. It is a tradition of Mulberry Street that the notorious Seeley dinner raid was planned by his enemies, in the belief that the head, in the belief that they would catch Mr. Roosevelt there. The dinners were supposed to be his "set." Some time after that, Mr. Rils was in Roosevelt's office when a police official of superior rank came in, and requested a private audience with him: They stepped aside and the policeman spoke in an undertone, urging something strongly. "We saw him straighten up as a man recoils from something unclean, and dismiss the other with a sharp: 'No, sir! I don't fight that way.' The policeman went out crestfallen. Bloody took too much evidence to the floor. He evidently with strong disgust. He told me afterward that he had come to him with what he said was certain knowledge that his enemy could that might be taken to be that it was his alleged habit to visit. His proposition was to raid it then and so "get square." To the policeman it must have seemed that we throwing a good shot at him, and then they way; he struck no blow below the belt. In the governor's chair afterward he gave the politicians whom he fought, and who fought him, the same terms. They tried to give him a chance, but nothing to expect from him. But they knew and owned that he fought fair. They back him to gain an advantage. Never again to gain an advantage. A promise given by him was always kept to the letter. Assistant Secretary of Navy. Early in 1897 he was called by President McKinley to give up his New York office to become Assistant-Secretary of the Navy. His energy and quick mastery of detail had much to do with the speedy equipment of the navy for its brilliant feats in the war with Spain. It was he who suggested Admiral Dewey for commander of the Asiatic station. Dewey was sometimes spoken of in those days as if he were a kind of fashion-plate. Roosevelt, however, had faith in him, and while walking up Connecticut avenue one day said to Mr. Riis: "Dewey is all right. He has a lion heart. He is the man for the place." No one now doubts the wisdom of his selection, and naval officers agree that the remarkable skill in marksmanship displayed by the American gunners was due to his foresight. He saw the necessity of practice, and he thought it the best kind of economy to burn up ammunition in acquiring skill. A characteristic story is told regarding Roosevelt's insistence on practice in the navy. Shortly after his appointment he asked for an appropriation of $800,000 for ammunition, powder, and shot for the navy. The appropriation was made, and a few months later he asked for another appropriation, this time of $500,000. When asked by the proper authorities what had become of the first appropriation, he replied: "Every cent of it was spent for powder and shot, and every bit of powder and shot has been fired." When he was asked what he was going to do with the $200,-000, he replied: "Use every ounce of that, too, within the next thirty days in practice shooting." His Cuban War Record. His Cuban War Record. Soon after the outbreak of the war, however, his patriotism and love of active life led him to leave the comparative quiet of his government office for service in the field. As a lieutenant-colonel of volunteers he recruited the First Volunteer Cavalry, popularly known as the "Rough Riders." The men were gathered largely from the cowboys of the west and southwest, but also numbered many college-bred men of the east. In the beginning he was second in command, with the rank of lieutenant-colonel, Dr. Leonard Wood being colonel. But at the close of the war the latter was a brigadier-general and Roosevelt was colonel in command. Since no horses were transported to Cuba, this regiment, together with the rest of the cavalry, was obliged to serve on foot. The regiment distinguished itself in the Santiago campaign, and Colonel Roosevelt became famous for his bravery in leading the charge up San Juan Hill on July 1st. He was an efficient officer, and won the love and admiration of his men. His care for them was shown by the circulation of the famous roundrobin which he wrote protesting against keeping the army longer in Cuba. As Governor of New York. and he was nominated in the convention by a vote of 753 to 218 for Governor Black. The campaign throughout the state was spirited. Roosevelt took the stump and delivered many speeches. His plurality was 18,079. As the campaign of 1900 drew near, the popular demand that Roosevelt's name should be on the National Republican ticket grew too imperative to be ignored by the leaders. The honor of the nomination for Vice-President was refused time and time again by Roosevelt, who felt that he had a great duty to perform as governor of New York state. Says Cal O'Laughlin, apropos of the Republican National Convention, which was held in Philadelphia on June, 19, 20 and 21, 1900: Nomination at Philadelphia. And, when the nomination was declared to have occurred, triumphantly carried it about Convention Hall. After his nomination, Roosevelt said: I held out as long as I could. I had to give in when I saw the popular sentiment Now that it is all over, I want to say that I appreciate fully the sentiment which accompanied my nomination. The unanimity and enthusiasm of the convention for nomination never will be forgotten by me. During the political campaign which followed, he traveled 16,100 miles, flashed through 23 states, delivered 459 speeches, containing 860,000 words, and made his appeal directly to 1,600,000 persons. His Capacity for Work. Mr. Rlis says that the thing that beclouds the judgment of his critics is Roosevelt's amazing capacity for work He says: He can weigh the pros and cons of a case and get at the meat of it in less time than it takes most of us to state the proposition. And he is surprisingly thoughtful. His judgment comes sometimes as a shock to the man of slower ways. He does not stop at conventionalities. If a thing is right, it is to be done—and rightly robin in Cuba, asking the government to recall the perishing army when it had won the fight. People shook their heads, and talked of precedents. Precedents! It was not the army that robin them most of his time. But is there anyone today who thinks he set that one wrong? Certainly no one with me saw the army come home. It did not happen. It was more infailible than the rest of us. Over and over again I have seen him pause when he had decided upon his line of action, and review it to see where there would be issue. The only man he would issue his order with the same comment: “There, we have done the best we could. If there is any mistake we will make it right. The fear of it shall not deter us.” The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.” Enforcing the Low Referring to Roosevelt's strict enforcement of the Sunday excise law, the San Francisco Argonaut's New York correspondent, "Flaneur," wrote under date of September 2, 1895: The law is not a Republican law. It was passed by Tammany, as a means of blackmailing saloonkeepers who refused to yield up tribute. It is a Democratic law. It was passed by a Democrat of Tammany, was passed by a Democrat of legislature, and was signed by a Democratic governor, David B. Hill. Senator Hill is now trying to make political capitals, but poaching Roosevelt for enforcing the law, but plunging into questionable position. When a man is the leader of a party in a state, when his party passes an excise law, and when he himself signs it as governor, he certainly signs it as governor, and he embraces a political opponent, he fights an enforcement of the very law which he himself passed. The opponents of enforcing the law are having a rather hard time. Nobody denies that the law exists; he is not a hardship to enforce it." But who is to the relative severity or mildness of the laws? Commissioner Roosevelt himself frankly says that he does not believe in such a severe Sunday law, but as it is the law, he is not a hardship. And he is certainly doing so. There is good deal of humor in the American people, and in this great city there are many thousands who are smiling sardonically over the plight of Tammany caused by Tammany's revenues come largely from the blackmailing of liquor saloons. President kooseveit has been a student of political economy since boyhood. He has been an omniverous reader, and has pursued his studies with the same zeal and energy that have characterized all his acts in civil and military life.—San Francisco Argonaut. It costs a good deal to feed a monarch; the cheapest of them are most expensive luxuries. The sultan of Turkey is a most costly article of bric-a-brac, especially for a bankrupt nation. The cost of the mere necessaries of life for him and his household amounts to about $7,500,000 a year. This seems an enormous grocery and butcher's bill, but it must be remembered, that, including his 300 brevet wives, the palace eunuchs, and the servants and officers of the imperial household, no less than 6,000 people are catered for daily when Abdul Hamid is "in residence" at Yildiz or Dolma Bagtche palace. Enormous quantities of bread are consumed by the sultan and his household, the palace bakeries turning out no less than 18,000 pounds daily. The bakery staff is a small army, for, besides the bakers, there are the buyers and the slaves who purchase the flour and rye and the fuel for the fires. One ton of rice is used daily in making the inevitable "pillaf" or pilaul without which Turk thinks he has really made a meal. This dish consists of rice boiled with mutton, kid or fowl, and flavored with raisins, spices, butter and the cook only knows what else. Then there are consumed daily 600 pounds of sugar and a like amount of coffee, not to mention huge quantities of other groceries, fruit and vegetables. The water for the household is brought to the palace in great round casks from two streams which empty into the Bosporus. As every part of the Turkish administration is nearly as rotten as Tam- A Man's Point cf View. "What should I say makes girls attractive?" answered a society man to whom the above query was put. "Well that is a very hard question to answer. Different men (for I take it by asking me you wish to know what makes a girl attractive to a man) like different attributes. You probably mean generally attractive—what you might call a popular girl in society. Well, I should say one of the most important traits is the power of making another feel that—for the moment at least—his personality and what he says are of paramount interest. Many young women let their eyes wander while you are talking to them, as if they were looking for other men. This is certainly not complimentary. Still, even absent-mindedness is not much worse than a too great interest of expression, which is apt to bore one. One feels any affection of interest instinctively. Interest must be genuine and spontaneous to be agreeable. A pleasing voice and sympathetic laugh are also great adjuncts. I know several girls who score a lot in that way. It is a pleasure to talk to them for no other reason. It is the general opinion that beauty attracts a man more than any other quality. This is This for Mothers. On one of the trains entering New York a few weeks ago, a woman afforded her fellow passengers an unconscious, but powerful, object lesson. With the woman was a little girl about six years old. The day was warm, and through the open windows the dust drifted in a fine gray cloud. Every passenger was exceedingly uncomfortable, but each forgot his discomfort in the spectacle of that suffering child. The mother began operations by seating her little daughter beside her with a thump that made the infant's teeth rattle. Then, at intervals of one or two minutes during the weary journey she paid the child these maternal attentions: She took off her hat; she smoothed her hair; she put the hat on again; she removed the child's little jacket, and put in on again; she straightened her collar; she wiped her face with her handkerchief; she removed an imaginary cinder from her eye; she smoothed her hair again; she took off and retied the ribbon on her hair; she stood her up ONE FARE FOR OCTOBER 7 TO 12.

ZACK MULHALL The Famous Cow-Boy King and Friend of President Roosevelt, with his Famous Cow Boys, Cow Boy Band, Rough Riders and Indians. MISS LUCILE MULHALL, The Greatest Girl Rough Rider and Wild Steer Roper in the World. HALF RATES ON many Hall (but not quite), there is little doubt that a portion of this enormous amount of food is disposed of as perquisites by the palace officials; for even 6,000 people scarcely could consume all that the sultan pays for daily in the shape of food. The sultan himself is a small eater. His breakfast consists of fruit, coffee and a roll, and at lunchtime he eats pilau, fruit and some sweets. He seldom drinks spirituous liquors, but indulges in large quantities of sherbet and eats an incredible amount of ice cream. All the food for the sultan is prepared by one man alone, and is cooked in dishes of silver, and sometimes even of gold. Each dish is sealed when it leaves the kitchen, and when brought on the table the seal is broken in the sultan's presence by the chamberlain. In order to test the food for poison, the chamberlain takes a spoonful out of each dish before his imperial master touches it. The food always is served to the sultan in the same dish in which it is cooked, and the padishah eats out of the dish with his fingers, never using a plate or a knife or fork except on occasions when he has some foreigners to dinner with him. Sometimes he will use a spoon, but prefers his fingers to all extraneous aids to dining. As each course is served two slaves approach the sultan, one bearing bread and the other pancakes upon golden trays; so it takes twice as many slaves as there are courses to get the sultan through his meal. Only the sultan and the higher palace officials are allowed pancakes with their meals; the underlings have to be content with bread—New York Press. by no means the case; in fact, as a rule the beauties do not have half so good a time as pretty women who are less self conscious. There are many beautiful women who completely lack charm. There is one thing about a woman's personal appearance that appeals particularly to ninety-nine meaus of a hundred and that is neatness and smartness. Women, as a rule, do not realize this. In their efforts to look pretty and have their belongings becoming they often completely overlook tidiness, and so spoil everything. A neat shining head always excites a man's admiration, while becomingness every American mother. "Each is with him quite a secondary consideration. I have often seen my sisters look in the glass, arrange their crimps with the greatest care, and quite overlook the fact that their heads were far from looking trig and tidy—two great essentials, to my mind. As for lasting attractions! Ah, for those men look below the surface more than women suppose. A man's instinct seeks in the woman he cares for something better than himself. He may not say much about it, but he feels it all the same. These qualities I have mentioned may attract, but it needs other to attach." and smoothed her down; she unfastened the bow at her neck and retied it. Over and over she followed this program while the awe-struck passengers looked on. The child accepted the situation with grim endurance. Evidently she had been used to it all of her short life. The world to her was a strange place where mothers exhausted their nervous energy in useless attentions to little girls. Her small face was pathetically sad and tired. When the journey's end was reached she arose wearily, was put through it all once more, and got languidly off the car. Among those who watched the scene was a prominent New York specialist in nervous diseases. He turned to the writer and summed up the entire situation in one sentence which has in it a sermon for touch," he said, grimly, "pushes that child a little nearer to the doors of the sanitarium that will some day open for her."

Chronic Bronchitis - How Baldness May Be Cured - An Insect That Kills Bugs - Its Only Mission Is to Exterminate Caterpillars - Scientific Notes. CHRONIC BRONCHITIS. While an attack of acute bronchitis in adult life is usually of brief duration and of little gravity, its repeated occurrence is to be dreaded as possibly leading to the much more serious chronic form. This form occurs for the most part in persons beyond middle life. It may supervene upon an acute attack which has been neglected, or it may come on more gradually after a succession of such attacks, each one adding a little to the bronchial irritation left behind by its predecessor, until the actual disease is fully established. Subjects of the so-called uric acid diathesis are very prone to suffer from chronic bronchitis, and so are patients with heart and kidney disease, and hard drinkers. The two main symptoms of chronic bronchitis are cough and a more or less profuse expectoration. The expectoration varies considerably in different cases, and in the same case at different times. In some cases it is rather scanty and sticky, and the effort to expel it results in frequent and violent paroxysms of cough, quite resembling whooping cough. In other cases the secretion in the bronchial tubes is watery and easily expelled, but is formed in such quantity that the cough is almost incessant. Pain is seldom complained of, but shortness of breath is quite common, even at the beginning, and is constant in the later stages of the disease. At first this difficulty in breathing is noted only on exertion, but later it is habitual and becomes asthmatic in character. It is the result, usually, of dilatation of the air cells in the lungs caused by the strain of cough. Chronic bronchitis, like all other catarrhal affections, is much less troublesome in summer than in winter, and in those who live much in the open air than in the house-bound. From this simple observation may be drawn the lesson that the best remedy for bronchitis is pure air. This is generally conceded in the case of consumption, but the world—even the medical world—is slower to recognize that an abundance of oxygen—pure air—is equally essential to the cure of bronchitis and other chronic diseases of the organs of respiration. The good result is due not only to the improvement in the general health, but also to the direct effect of the oxygen upon the diseased bronchial membrane. The patients should pay great attention to the care of the skin by cold or cool bathing, friction, and so forth, should dress warmly, and should change damp clothing immediately on entering the house. TO CURE BALDNESS. The use of gas to make the hair grow is one of the latest medical discoveries. The gas employed is oxygen. A large cap fits tightly round the head and is supplied with oxygen from a bag which is slung over the patient's shoulders. It is worn for a few hours every day, and even in cases of absolute baldness, it is said to produce a more or less luxuriant crop of hair. The discovery was made at the Oxygen hospital, London. The gas is used for the cure of quite a number of diseases. A woman was undergoing the oxygen cure for skin disease, and one of her arms had been for many days placed in a light, air-tight box filled with the gas. It was soon noticed that on the part of the arm that was unaffected by the disease the growth of hair was much stimulated, and this naturally suggested oxygen as a cure for baldness. The first experiment was made upon a woman who had completely lost her hair, and A APPARATUS FOR CURING BALDNESS APPARATUS FOR CURING BALDNESS. It was found that after a few weeks' treatment there was quite a strong growth. The gas has also been found beneficial for weak eyes, and is used in a very similar manner, a hollow flexible cup being placed over the upper part of the face. This is connected by means of an india rubber tube to a small gas bag, and is worn day after day until a cure is affected. But by far the greatest service that oxygen is to perform is in the cure of consumption. The patients inhale the gas for ten hours every day, and find almost immediate relief. The germs of the disease cannot exist in oxygen alone, though in common air they multiply rapidly. This is, at present, the only weak point of the system, for it is found that in practice the patient loses during the night almost all the benefit that he has derived from the inhalation of oxygen during the day. But this objection is to be swept away when a new laboratory has been built where consumptives will be made to breathe the gas day and night until a cure has been effected. IT IS A BUG ERRANT. Nature has once more proved that she knows how to manage affairs in THE CATERPILLAR'S ENEMY. her numerous departments. While the suburbs are still bewailing a plague of caterpillars she has begun the work of extermination. She has sent a bug to do the work, and it is a wonderful bug indeed—a bug errant, one might say, for it has a lance and a suit of armor and just as much devotion to duty as any knight one ever read about. This remarkable bug does not seem to have any mission upon earth except to fight caterpillars. It would rather fight than eat, and whenever it fights it eats, so that it takes an enthusiastic interest in the campaign. Its appetite would be disgraceful in a bug of less exemplary pursuits. There is a specimen in the Philadelphia North American office, says that paper, which has devoted more than ten times its weight in caterpillar in one day. But the most remarkable thing about this ferocious insect is its method of attack. It does not use sharp claws like some beetles, nor poison, like spiders. It has a little way of its own, says the Chicago Daily News. Fastened by a flexible joint to the lower part of the body is a lance and with this deadly weapon the bug does rapid execution. It attacks a caterpillar like a torpedo boat attacking an unprotected cruiser. It creeps on its prey quietly, then makes a sudden rush. Raising itself when near the victim, it lets the lance drop forward, then leaps upon the poor, fuzzy thing and drives the sharp point home. There follows a violent struggle of course. The caterpillar squirms and twists and rolls itself about, but the lance holds and there is no escape. AN ANIMAL CURIOSITY There are not very many transparent animals, but recent studies of two larval eels which possess this peculiarity, and which belong to the National Museum, seem to show that among the possible advantages of being transparent is economy in personal decoration. In ordinary opaque animals the color markings are symmetrical on the two sides of the body, but this is not the case with the transparent eels. Each of them, when looked at from one side, appears to have seven large black spots arranged at nearly regular intervals along the length of its body, but closer examination shows that in each case three of the spots are on the left side and four on the right, and irregularly spaced, but in such manner that, on looking through the body, all seven appear in a symmetrical row. QUALITIES OF QUARTZ TUBES Experiments with transparent tubes made of vitrified quartz show that they possess many remarkable advantages over glass tubes. They can be plunged suddenly into an oxy-gas flame without injury, as their substance remains practically solid up to a temperature of 2,700 Fahrenheit. They do not break if plunged into cold water, or even into liquid air. It is believed that such tubes can be employed for thermometers intended to measure very high temperatures, tin, or some other metal, in a molten state, being substituted for the mercury of ordinary thermometers. SCIENTIFIC NOTES. Electricity In Abbey. Electric lamps are to be used in the place of gas jets in England's famous abbey. It is averred that gas has proved injurious to the great church by setting up chemical change in the limestone of which its walls, arches, vaults and carvings are composed, thus hastening the disintegration of the building. Microbes on Raw Vegetables. Signor Ceresole of Padua has discovered the existence of more than fifty noxious microscopic parasites and microbes in the washings of vegetables from market gardens. Among the micro-organisms found by him was the bacillus of tetanus and another analogous to that which produces typhoid fever. He ascribes the infection largely to the contents of watering pots. The approved cooking utensils are of aluminum. There's no danger in them. NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL Des Moines, Oct. 4, 1901. The friends of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson living in Iowa and Des Moines have discovered that the movement to induce President Roosevelt to name F. D. Coburn, secretary of the Kansas board of agriculture, for Mr. Roosevelt's decision that is becoming aggressive. They are not disposed to regard the movement as likely to result seriously, but think that some attention should be paid to it and steps taken to show that in the majority of the agricultural states a change is not wanted. It has developed that influential politicians of Nebraska have joined forces with those of Kansas in an effort to secure the change, and that overtures being being made to them and thekkle publicians to lend their support to the movement. The attack so far seems to consist of criticisms of some of the reports of the department and of a recent interview given out by Mr. Wilson. This interview reported him as saying that Kansas and Nebraska cannot be counted as corn producing states; that after getting out a distance from the river there is no assurance of moisture sufficient to raise a crop. Statistics have been used to make it appear that it shows lack of information on the part of Wilson. It has been learned that these were prepared personally by Coburn. Correspondence that has passed between the Kansas and Nebraska people and those whom they have been seeking to enlist in their cause construes this criticism to be a criticism of the entire trans-Missouri river country and one calculated to work to its injury and prevent its feeling that this will not be an effective and that it will be quickly disposed of, but propose, if it becomes necessary, to make a showing that will corroborate the claims of the secretary or that will at least be an answer to his critics. The supreme court has reversed the case of State vs. Thomas King, a prisoner in the Anamosa penitentiary who made his escape from the guards by secreting himself in a natural crevice in a stone quarry where he was employed. He was rearrested and sentenced to serve a year in prison to his original imprisonment. He has held hands that his offense was not an escape from the penitentiary and consequently King was not amenable to the statute under which he was rearrested. Mrs. J. W. Butler, representing the syndicate of capitalists in Cleveland, Ohio, that has been building interurban electric lines all over the middle states, has called upon members of the city council with a view to securing a franchise in Des Moines. She explained that right-of-way and a tax had been secured at Colfax and that most of the right-of-way had been secured from here to Newton. The line has been surveyed from Des Moines to Newton and north to Marshalltown. Mrs. Butler exhibited unruly attitudes to show that she has authority to publish unlimited backing. She demonstrated that the Cleveland company means business by showing that it is rapidly constructing lines in a number of places in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and other states, and that the expense it has already gone to here would not have been incurred except with a view to carrying out the project. It is stated the line will be completed next summer. More papers have been filed with the supreme court in the Hossack case from Warren county. The attorneys, Henderson & Berry, for Mrs. Hossack, filed a denial of the amendment to the evidence as filed by the state. This relates to the question of identity of the protographs which are with the paper as an exhibit, and also to the space of the listing of the marriage of the Hossacks. To set at rest all doubts about the testimony on the marriage question the transcript of the evidence on that point is given in full. Bert Johnson, alias Nelson, has been indicted by the grand jury for obtaining money under false pretenses. Eight counts on that charge are included. Al complainants are servant girls from whom Johnson seized payment for sewing machines. It is said Johnson secured about $150 in the scheme, and that he carried out like deals in Boone, Carroll and several other towns. Yuchi Race n Fuku New York, Oct. 2.—Yesterday's attempt to sail the second of the present series of international yacht races for the blue ribbon of the sea proved a dismal failure. Between 25,000 and 30,000 people who crowded the pleasure fleet off Sandy Hook lightship in the hope of seeing a repetition of the thrilling sport of last Saturday, witnessed instead more of a drifting match than a race. The yachts were lined up on the rails, was not sufficient at any time to make the racing machines heel to their lines. At the end of four and a half hours, the two yachts having covered less than one-half of the prescribed course of thirty miles, and as there was no possibility of their finishing within the time limit, the regatta committee declared the race off. In four-fifths of the hotels and restaurants of Germany the waiters receive no pay, and are expected to live on their tips. Bad Year for British Farmers. New York, Oct. 1.—This will rank as a bad year for the farmers throughout Great Britain, says the Tribune's London correspondent. Alike in England and in Scotland the acreage sown to wheat and barley are smaller than they were last year, and there is a decline in the number of cattle, sheep and pigs in England. Nor is the decline an unimportant one. In many respects it leaves British agriculture in a more restricted plight than for years. In Scotland the position is not so bad as in England. A penitent burglar has just made restitution of jewels to the amount of $8,000, which he had stolen two months ago from the jewelry house of Wm. Washburn & Co., in Anderson, Ind. They were returned through Father E. A. Murphy of St. Mary's church, Chicago. As the admission of guilt was made under the seal of confession, the clergyman, of course, did not reveal the burglar's name. At an annual dinner of the St. Nicholas society, Embassador Joseph H. Chateau was down for the toast "The Navy," while Senator Depew was to respond to "The Army." Depew began by saying: "It's well to have a specialist; that's why Chateau is here to speak about the navy. We met at him again till we reached Liverpool. When I asked how he felt, he said he thought he would have enjoyed the trip over if he had had any ocean air. Yes, you want to hear Chateau on the navy." Choate responded: "I've heard Depew hailed as the great after-dinner speaker. If after-dinner he heard described and as I believe it he is, the art of saying nothing at all, then Dr. Depew is the most marvelous speaker in the universe." A FEARLESS PHYSICIAN. Benton, Ill., Sept. 30th.—Much comment has been caused by the action of Dr. R. H. Dunaway, a physician here, who for over a year has been recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to those of his pa. events who suffered from Rheumatism, Bright's Disease, Diabetes or other Kidney Troubles. Dr. Dunaway also published an open letter last May stating positively that he himself had been cured of Diabetes by Dodd's Kidney Pills, and that, after he had concluded he was going to die. He is a well man today and says he feels it his duty to do as he has done and is doing because Dodd's Kidney Pills saved his life. The secret of success is constancy to purpose.—Disneeli.

The Real Cause of Dandruff and Baldness. At one time dandruff was attributed to the result of a feverish condition of the scalp, which threw off the dried cuticle in scales. Professor Diana, Hamburg, Germany, authority on skin diseases, explodes this theory and says that dandruff is a germ disease. This germ is really responsible for the dandruff and for so many bald heads. It is the result of it some about in the right way. The right way, of course, and the only way, is to kill the germ. Newbro's Herpicide does this, and causes the hair to grow luxuriously, just as nature intended it should. Lots of men would rather lose a friend than a dollar.

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.

This mater- fal is exceedingly durable and after 9 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 indus- try, ag the manufacture of cotton prints, carpets, curtain materials, dress goods, etc., and also wall paper and oll-cioth, The salary of a designer of course varies according to his capa- bilities, but one with artistic taste and originality is always well paid.

The new chatr Was created through the efforts of Prof. Venturl, who for the last eleven years has been in charge of the me- dieval and modern art classes at the ‘university, ‘Two Calamitous Fires. ‘The two most calamitous fires over known anywhere in the world oc- curred 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 prop- erty was consumed.

Beme of the Oud Tricks of Claatd Al Liquid air is, perhaps, the coldest thing in the world. It is so sold that a cake of ice is like a flerce fire as com- pared with it, for a kettle of liquid alr placed on a cake of ice will boil just as water boils over a hot fire. It freezes mercury so hard thet one can drive nails in it. The story is told that Mr. Charles EB.

The waiter browgnt in a hot broiled steak and placed it in front of Mr, Tripler. As soc as thy waiter’s back was turned Mr. Triple: hastily opened the can and exzosed the meat to the liquid air. Instintiy the steak was frozen hard as a rors. Whe: the waiter came back his custome: complained that the steak was frozen So the waiter called the heat waicer and the head waiter blamed ‘t all o: the cook and the cook was at & loss ¢ explain, and the result was that the frozen steak was taken back tnto th Kitchen as a mysterious curicnity. 4 new steak was broiled for Mr. Tripte ‘and this one he ate with much relict ee © WM wee en} Jo wIMer pazivey -ploo A[Sujmees ogy wey} JomuEM 20739 oLou Youu v Uy ou|0s Pes Ise ama Sujsopo Afuaz snq3 ‘pouado soqu3 aq) pur ‘Wf Joao ,peovid sy o[owydese 203 ‘Paty 04 0} S| aAuIS oY puL seAO 5] IY WaUA ‘JUjod yusyueaoD v 0} paps pue AuouM1a9 07} 07 stofAoid Wades UIT PANG st erezdedor SUL su9es Sujoq wosy WIyITA WIG 9y3 JOA 21d 0} pausisap pue ‘aze3 our 0} do} oy) wo1y Suypuayxe ‘upeqIN o[qIxXeD BS} WoIy ONL, “T1UJ 0} SBUEIUOD Oy Morte 07 pouedo Suseq Jo eqvdeo eq 0} Se poSuLise 95 J0NEL ON} UT OIVF B pUC ‘m0}}0q puL sapIs eTqeNoeI UIA ‘opeidooos ¥ Jo 83s{sU00 31 “sIeUINOW peareieq eq} 0} _AtomTe109 eawsd oy Jo woe, Sup your oT ‘uygoo om wodn 3p oT Jo Suraoay (enjow 943 e[qissod se Juz se [ea0T09 03 Due ‘paramo, Uosq sey TWOO em JOYE TRAV WPA SAvIZ OM T1Y 07 PIUSTS -oP Sf ‘BMO] ‘woIBuyTIN JO ‘UosoMIrD ‘a Asuayy yo worueauy oxy ‘soav.d Fuponsysu0o uy osm JOZ 9o1/P V sored Sua che'o ‘Be aka Cicbake eet: Cardinal Gibbons was formerly frequent visitor to Cape May ané usually took Jong walks morning and afternoon by the seashore.

A perfect highway from New Yor: to San Francisco, in as near a straight line as it is possible to make it, with » width of 120 feet, for the use of auto: mobiles and bicycles, as well as for the use of the farmer, is a thing that th Automobile club of America will try to bring about. The subject was seri ously discussed at a banquet, in honor of members of the National Highway Commission, at the Waldorf-Astoria, in New York, when plans weve made end the route announced. Besides a direct path from New York to Sar Francisco, passing through Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and Ogéen, the club wants a highway along each coast. Congress will be asked to appropriate one-third of the expense, and the states, counties, townships and cities en route wil! be asked to pay the rest; the owners of property benefited to donate the right- of-way. ‘The club and highway com- mission have on their list of mem. bership the names of some of the ‘oremost men of America. i ae ae ‘Mr. B.

Crockett’s new book, ‘Love Idylls,” will be published soon. It will be uniform in size with “An English- 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 1s about to be issued, In Dr. Minot J. Savage's new book, “The Passing and 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 Tearned 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 edi- tion of his collected poems was pub- lished. 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 ihustrate 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.

Sleeping. ‘Tiere is said to be a lawyer in Phil- adelphia who possesses a trick of the voice to which a certain measure of his success in United States Supreme court practice is due. The trick consists in waking a judge. Whether it is a com- mon practice for the high dignitaries of the federal supreme bench to in- dulge in a nap In the course of a Jong and tedious argument, such happen- ings are not unknown, and it {s well for an able logician of the bar to be prepared for it. ‘The trick of waking a sleepy judge would seem to be some- thing in the nature of slamming a law book under his nose or connecting his personality with the current of an electric battery. But the trick is ex- plained as purely a matter of sound {involved in the skillful control of the voloe, It is said that a barrister prac- ticed in the art and rhetoric of address- ing the bench can gather all the waves of sound from his throat into a focus and deposit it in the orifice of the judge's ear with the general effect of a bomb.

Pierre remembered hearing the news towards the end of February, 1815, that the Emperor, with over 1,000 followers, had sailed away in feluccas bound for Provence, ‘The lad used to carry eggs and fruit to the kitchen of the Em- Peror and one day that famous poten- tate caught him stoning a dog and sharply reproved him.

Figures may not lie, but they are often disappointing. Census figures, especially, are apt to fall below what fs expected of them. ‘The recent cen- sus of Canada shows a population of 6,838,833, which is an increase of 505,- 694 over the total of 1801. The gain of about ten per cent in ten years seems to many Canadians a meager result of a decade of prosperity, and of energetic efforts to promote immigration. But it fs the rule nowadays nat city popu- lations grow faster than rural, and Canada has few cities. Only eighteen places in the Dominion have more than ten thousand juhabitants. But there remains the consolation that not all the elements of national greatness are measured by a count of heads. Several articles of jewelry embedded tn the flesh were discovered in the making of an autopsy on the body of Paul Shirvell, a Russian, who was killed in a mine in Pennsylvania, In the leg was a miniature dumbbell ‘about the size of a cuff button.

Des Mofnes, Sept. 30.—Seventy-five pages of the forthcoming report of Buperintendent KR. C. Barrett of the department of public instruction will be given over to the considera- tion of questions of consolidation of rural independent districts and the transportation of pupls. Superintendent Barrett intends to make the treatise on these subjects in his report a valuable one that will be replete with information on these important questions of school policy. He will present letters from county superintendents in many parts of the state and from teachers and oth- ers interested in educational matters Jn Iowa, showing their views on’ con- solidation and transportation. He be- Teves the testimony an dopinions of these persons will be of much more value and interest than a discussion Of these matters by himself only would be. ‘The report will make an Interest- ing showing as to the growth of the movement for consolidation and transportation in lowa. ‘Two years ago pupils were being transported in twenty-five counties of the state and to forty-eight schools. Since that time the plan has been tried ina number of additional counties and districts. It is not yet ascertained just what the increase is, but Mr. Barrett says it will be considerable. ‘One of the most interesting phases of the extension of the system of transportation of pupils is that of its being taken up in some of the city districts. Mr, Barrett has a let- ter from Supt, Clifford of the Council Bluffs city schools, in which the lat- ter tells how transportation — was successfully utilized there. Lying at the outskirts of the independent dis- trict of Council Bluffs was the Wood: bury School, The attendance was not large and the progress of the pupils Was not satisfactory, —inas- much as the teacher had the time to give but a few minutes to each of her classes. The egst of the school to the district was $80 per month. It was decided to abandon the Wood bury school and transport the pupits to the most convenient ward schools. The district has been able to do this satisfactory at a cost o. $0. per month, thiis effecting a saving of $50 per month by the change and giv- ing the pupils much better eduea- sotial aiivaitecen: NATION'S GHAUN De LERS, Very Frofitable Ove.

A. Lockwood, a Des Moines man, was re-elected president in recognition of his ser- vices in behalf of the organization, The state has Leen benefited, in that all of the southern delegates were here for the purpose of perfecting ar- rangements with Iowa grain men for the shipment of oats and hay to the south, which produced little hay or corn this year. It is expected ‘that these two commodities will reach a high price because of the great de- mand for them in the south. Towa is also honored in the selection of G, A, Stebbins of Red Oak as secre- tary of the association, C. 8. Clark of Chieago was re-elected to the see- retaryship, but declined, owing to private interests. ‘The convention has resulted ina peter understanding as to the grad- mg of grain and has shown Towa zrain men how their samples compare with the best from other sectios of the country. Another outcome was the organization of a national asso- tiation of grain inspectors, Memphis won the convention of 1902 mainly on the proposition that pundreds of grain men from the south would become aftiliated with the association if they could be in- Auced to attend one of the conven- tions.

P., speaking last night at Oldham, ‘deseribed the situation in South “Mrica as “serious and disquieting.” He said the war could rt be ended by proclamation of threats, but only by Vigorous military operations. ‘The Daily Mail and the Daily Chron- cle comment upon the fact that the huge British army is seemingly only able to remain on the defensive. The Standard says: “the Boers are fighting with a de- termination and « contempt for their own lives as were seldom shown in the early periods of the war, ‘Their plan is to Keep Lord Kitchener's army busy in the north and to give the roving commandoes in Cape Coions an opportunity to raise the Cape Duteh against Great Britain.” CUP WILL KEMAIN HERE Columbia's Second Victory Assurcs aie heatianene: New York, Oct. 4.—In a glorious whole sail breeze, which heeled the big cup contestants down until their lee rails were awash in the foaming seas, Herreshoi’s white wonder, the Columbia, yesterday beat Watson's British creation over a triangular course of thirty miles by two min- utes and 52 seconds, actual time. With the 43 seconds ‘which the Irish sloop must allow the American boat on account of the larger sail plan the Columbia won the seeond race of the series by 3 minutes and 35 sec- onds. The fastest race ever sailed in a cup contest, it was not only a royal struggle from a spectacular point of view, but it was absolutely decisive as to the merits of the two racing machines. ‘There is not a yachting sharp who witnessed the race yes- terday who is not firmly convineed that the defender is the abler boat, blow high or blow low, beating, reaching or running, and that Sir ‘Thomas Lipton and his merry Brit- ishers are doomed to return home empty handed. Again the ancient piece of silver- ware brought across the western ocean fifty years ago is safe. Again American supremacy in marine ar- chitecture has been vindicated. Sir ‘Thomas has been wishing for a breeze that would bury the Sham- rock's lee rail, and yesterday he had it, just as he had a similar breeze in the concluding race two years ago, when the Columbia, in a’ driv- ing’ finish, beat the Shamrock over six minutes, SCALEY COURT OF ENQUIRY. Washington, Oct, 4—After Lieuten- ant Doyle, formerly of Commodore Schley’s flagship, the Brooklyn, had ‘completed his testimony before the Sehley court of inquiry yesterday, Capt. Wm. C. Dawson of the mefrine corps was called, and was followed by Lieut. Chas. W. Dryson of the bu- reau of steam engineering of the navy department, Capt.

The compliments of the Companion to fifteen millions of boys and girls who again take their seats in the schoolrooms and pick up their books! A most respectful bow to the four hundred thousand teachers whose summer vacation should send them back to their sacred task with freshened energy and joyous enthusiasm! And three times three for the public schools of America! A lively scrap between a clergyman and a layman was witnessed at a baptizing ceremony in Stanchfield Lake, Minn. George Tomlinson had agreed to be baptized there by the Rev. Mr. Orrock, but his nerve deserted him at the last moment. The clergyman attempted to use force, and there was a struggle, the convert angrily resisting. After a prolonged contest, the minister succeeded in ducking the unwilling conversion in three feet of muddy water. The death is announced at Genoa, at the age of 98, of Pierre Maurier, a Frenchman, who lived on the island of Elba when Napoleon took up his compulsory residence there in April, 1814. Pierre remembered hearing the news towards the end of February, 1815, that the Emperor, with over 1,000 followers, had sailed away in feluccas bound for Provence. The lad used to carry eggs and fruit to the kitchen of the Emperor and one day that famous potentate caught him stoning a dog and sharply reproved him. Maurier was presented to Victor Emmanuel in 1863 and the King was much interested when he heard from Pierre's own lips his memories of the great Napoleon. Figures may not lie, but they are often disappointing. Census figures, especially, are apt to fall below what is expected of them. The recent census of Canada shows a population of 5,338,833, which is an increase of 505-594 over the total of 1891. The gain of about ten per cent in ten years seems to many Canadians a meager result of a decade of prosperity, and of energetic efforts to promote immigration. But it is the rule nowadays that city populations grow faster than rural, and Canada has few cities. Only eighteen places in the Dominion have more than ten thousand inhabitants. But there remains the consolation that not all the elements of national greatness are measured by a count of heads. Several articles of jewelry embedded in the flesh were discovered in the making of an autopsy on the body of Paul Shirvell, a Russian, who was killed in a mine in Pennsylvania. In the leg was a miniature dumbbell, about the size of a cuff button. In each instance the jewelry had been fastened in the man's flesh, which had grown over the article, completely hiding it from view. On the body of Frank Lorenz, who committed suicide at White Haven recently, was found similar ornaments embedded in the flesh. It is believed Lorenz and Shirvell were political exiles from Siberia, and that the fastening of jewelry in their bodies was a part of the punishment inflicted by prison authorities. Commodore Perry is a name high in honor in the United States navy, having been the title of two famous brothers—Oliver Habard and Matthew Calbraith Perry. On September 10th, eighty-eight years ago, the elder brother, a young lieutenant who had never seen a naval fight, fought that fierce Battle of Lake Erie, which saved the Northwest to the United States and gave the world the dispatch: "We have met the enemy and they are ours." Forty-eight years ago last July the younger brother landed in Japan with a message from the president which practically opened that country to the world. The Matthew Perry monument recently unveiled at Kurihama, Japan, is a shaft thirty-three feet high made of a rare native stove and bearing an inscription in gold written by Marquis Ito. A dense crowd of natives witnessed the ceremonies, both Japanese and American battleships fired salutes from the harbor, and one of the speakers was Rear Admiral Beardshee, who, as a midshipman under Perry, was present at the original entry. Henry J. Furber, Jr., professor of political economy at the Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., has been decorated with the Cross of the Legion of Honor, in recognition of his interest in the educational affairs of France. About five years ago Prof. Furber suggested to the French Minister of Public Instruction certain changes in the rules governing foreign students attending the French universities. The suggestions were adopted, and the change was followed by a marked increase in the number of American students in French colleges. THE NEWS IN IOWA THE NEWS IN IOWA TRANSPORTING OF PUPILS. System is Growing in Favor in Many Parts of the State. Des Moines, Sept. 30.—Severty-five pages of the forthcoming report of Superintendent R. C. Barrett of the department of public instruction will be given over to the con- tion of questioning of consolidation of the superintendent districts and the transportation of quilts. Superintendent Barrett intends to make the treatise on these subjects in his report a valuable one that will be replete with information on these important questions of school policy. He will present his own county experience in many parts of the state and from teachers and others interested in educational matters in Iowa, showing their views on consolidation and transportation. He believes the testimony an opinions these persons will be of of more value and interest than a discussion of the matters by himself only would be. The report will make an interesting showing as to the growth of the movement for consolidation and transportation in Iowa. Two years ago pupils were being transported in twenty-five counties of the state and to forty-eight schools. Since that time the plan has been tried in a number of additional counties and districts. It is not yet ascertained just what the increase is, but Mr. Barrett says it will be considerable. One of the most interesting phases of the extension of the system of transportation of pupils is that its being taken up a year, or more, Mr. Bennett has a letter from Supt. Clifford of the Council Bluffs city schools, in which the latter tells how transportation was successfully utilized there. Lying at the outskirts of the independent district of Council Bluffs was the Woodbury school. The attendance was not large and the progress of the pupils was not satisfactory. Instead, the teachers were time to give but a few minutes to each of her classes. The cost of the school to the district was $80 per month. It was decided to abandon the Woodbury school and transport the pupils to the most convenient ward schools. The district has been able to do this satisfactory at a cost o. $30 per month, thus effecting a saving of over $100 per year on the change and giving the pupils much better educational advantages. NATION'S GRAIN RI. LERS. The Convention at Des Moines Was a Very Profitable One. Des Moines, Oct. 4.—The sixth annual convention of the National Brain Dealers' association came to an end yesterday. The convention was the best in the history of the organization. Members of the Cereal club, upon whom devolved the care of the visiting delegates, were repeatedly congratulating by the visitors, who expressed themselves agreeably surprised at the manner in which the convention had been entertained The convention did much for Des Moines and Iowa. B. A. Lockwood, a Des Moines man, was re-elected president in recognition of his services in behalf of the organization. The state has been benefited, in that all of the southern delegates were here for the purpose of perfecting arrangements with Iowa grain men for the shipment of oats and hay to the south, which produced little hay or corn this year. It is expected that these two commodities will reach a high price because of the great demand for them in the south. Iowa is also honored in the selection of G. A. Stebbins of Red Oak as secretary of the association. C. S. Clark of Chicago was re-elected to the secretaryship, but declined, owing to private interests. The convention has resulted in a better understanding as to the grading of grain and has shown Iowa grain men how their samples compare with the best from other sectios of the country. Another outcome was the organization of a national association of grain inspectors. Memphis won the convention of 1902 mainly on the proposition that hundreds of grain men from the south would become affiliated with the association if they could be induced to attend one of the convention's public shows; President, B. A. Lockwood; first vice president, T. P. Baxter; second vice president, H. S. Grimes; secretary, G. A. Stibbins. Waterloo Dauage Sult. Waterloo, Oct. 4.—The Rapid Transit company has been notified of a suit for $10,000 damages instituted by the heirs of John Durfey. Mr. Durfey met his death in a runaway several months ago. He was not killed at the time, but received injuries from which he died. He was a brayman and his team became frightened, it is claimed, at the car and from the constant ringing of the gong. Collision at Murrah town Marshalltown, Oct. 4.—A Northwestern passenger train and an Iowa Central freight train collided at the Third street crossing in this city. One engine was demolished and half dozen cars completely wrecked. The coaches of the passenger train were badly damaged. No one was seriously hurt. The property loss is heavy. The progeny of a pair of rats, under favorable conditions, will in three years number about one thousand. Potatoes Pay for Land. Traer, Sept. 30.—There have been many instuttures up west where farmers marketed enough wheat or flax from $15 to $30 land in one year to pay for the land, but a North Tama farmer raised enough potatoes to try for the land at the present high prices of this vicinity. Arthur Wood of Buckingham had eighteen acres of potatoes this year. Although the crop here is very light, he gets 800 bushels to the eighteen acre field. The price here at present is $1.25 to $1.50, which gives Mr. Wood a return of $1,200 this year, or $66.66 per acre. GIRL BURNED TO DEATH. Miss Elsa Price Meets Horrible Death at Mitchellville. Des Moines, Oct. 3—Miss Elsa Price, a paroled inmate of the girl's reformatory institution at Mitchellville, and a present employee of that institution was burned to death in a horrible manner. The shocking accident in which Miss Price lost her life occurred at 10 o'clock p. m. She had just returned from a walk down town with one of the other institution employees and had retired to her room, which as she sat in a remote part of the building. A few minutes later a piercing scream was heard, and the woman on watch in the corridors ran to Miss Price's room to find her standing in her nightclothes in the middle of the room, enveloped in flames. She was so overcome by the fumes she had inhaled that she could give no account of the accident, and although the life of everything was done, the Miss Price room at 4 o'clock a. m. in terrible agony. Superintendent Fitzgerald at once notified the board of control and the girl's parents, who live at Cordyon. The supposition is that the girl had undressed for bed without lighting the lamp, as it was moonlight, and that before retiring she struck a match for some purpose and ignited her clothes by accident. RENEW THEIR SUBSCRIPTIONS. Charles City Electric Railway Project Lake Shore, Willow Bay, Begin- Charles City Electric Railway Received and Won Belle, Charles City Oct. 4. *The Charles City Electric railway project is having the usual experience of delay in getting started.* Ninety thousand dollars was subscribed in stock, $30,000 of it on condition that $100,000 be taken, but through various causes the remaining $10,000 has not been secured. This releases the subscribers. The survey profile has been completed and the right of way between Charles City and Power is practically secured to the telephone and the first ordinance, and was renewed by the city council August 6, extending the time to July, 1902, but with the proviso that work be commenced within ninety days. A few nights ago the stock subscribers met and voted to renew their subscriptions unconditionally, and raised the amount of money needed to commence the work before the ninety day limit had expired. The stock subscribers will begin before October 12, and in the early part of 1902 will be completed to Powersville, and thence to some point on the Shell Rock, probably Clarksville. REMARKABLE OPERATION. Removal of a Tumor Weighing Eighty- six Pounds from a Woman. Sioux City, Oct. 1.—In an operation at Samaritan hospital on eighty-six pound tumor was removed from a woman, who when relieved of the great ovarian cyst weighed but little more than it did. It was the largest tumor ever removed in an operation in Sioux City. The surgeons stated this size, but it is very rare, as invariably they are removed before they become so dangerously large. In this case, however, the tumor was allowed to grow because the woman was a believer in Christian science and she insisted that the demonstrations of healers and her faith would remove it. Five or six years ago its presence first became known, but its insistence that the cure be the arguments of her husband and the pleas of her friends she refused to permit an operation. She is on a fair way to recovery. TRAGEDY IN HARDIN. James Lane Shoots His Son-in-Law, Then Kills His Wife. Alden, Oct. 2.—A family quarrel of long standing culminated at the homes of the parties, a few miles south of this place, when James James Lane fired a load of bookshelves with his shot in-sin-law, through the window of Barhite's house. He then went to the home of another son-in-law, where his wife was stopping, and shot and killed her. He then returned to his own home, barred all doors, and windows and refused to handle what officer armed and threatened to fire the building. Later he gave himself up. Fatal Hunting Accident. Eldora, Oct. 3.—Chas. Fannon, about 19 years of age, living in this city, met an almost instant death here. He and another young man were going for a hunt and were waiting for a team by the roadside. Young man was a humble, timid relief of the gun toward himself, and it instantly went off, the shot taking effect in the head. He was a barber by trade. Woman Shot By Boys. Tama, Oct. 3.—Two boys of Mrs. Wm. Chappel were trying to extract the loads from an old 22-caliber revolver, when it was accidentally discharged, the ball striking Mrs. Chappel in the abdomen and inflicting perhaps a fatal wound. Mrs. Chappel is the wife of Mr. Wm. Chappel, express messenger between Tama and Sioux City. Both Legs Cut Off. Lamoni, Oct. 3.—A serious accident happened to Willie Mayhew at Woodburn. The day before he and a few boys went there to work on the railroad and while in the discharge of his duties he fell under the wheels of a moving train and lost the lower part of both legs, one just below the knee and the other just above the ankle.

NEWS IN GENERAL NEWS IN GENERAL SCHLEY COURT OF INQUIRY Washington, Sept. 29.—In the Schley court of inquiry yesterday Captain McCalla, of the Marblehead, concluded his testimony which was begun yesterday, and the court heard the testimony of Lieut. Commander W. H. H. Sutherland, who commanded the Eagle during the Spanish war, and also that of Lieut. Cassus B. Barnes. The latter is a cipher expert in the navy department, and his evidence was devoted to showing that the dispatch from Commodore Schley to the navy department of May 28, 1898, saying that he could not, must, to his regret, obey the order to the department, as printed, the official reports of the officer translation of message as forwarded from the Harvard at Kingston. Commander Sutherland explained the condition of the Eagle during the campaign and told of the part that vessel played. He said the slow progress made in the cruise to Santiago was due to the fact that the vessel was one-third full of water, the ship was still sailing the ship to inform Commander Schley that the Spanish squadron was not in the harbor at Cienfuegos. Captain McCalla said that he had suggested to Schley after the battle off Santiago that there was glory enough in the victory for all. Washington, Oct. 1.—Rear Admiral Evans, who, as captain, commanded the battleship Iowa during the Santiago campaign, was a witness before the Schley naval court of inquiry yesterday. His testimony covered the entire period from the time the Iowa left the port of Key West on the 20th of May, 1898 until the 5th of October, when Admiral Evans certified he had a conversation with Admiral Schley concerning the battle of the 3d. He described in detail the principal battle off Santiago, and also gave particulars concerning the bombardment of the Colon on the 31st of May. Other witnesses of the day were Capt. Theodore F. Jewell, who was commander of the cruiser Minneapolis during the Spanish war, and Commander James M. Miller, who was in command of the collier Merrimac, until that vessel was turned over to Lieutenant Hobson to be sunk in the mouth of the harbor at Santiago, Admiral Evans had not concluded his testimony when the court adjourned for the day. Washington, Oct. 2.—The Schley court of inquiry made good headway again yesterday, concluding with Admiral Evans and hearing three new witnesses, although the testimony of one of them was not concluded when the court adjourned for the Admiral Evans' testimony was along the same general lines as was his statement of Monday, but some points were presented in greater detail in response to questions by Mr. Rayner. The new witnesses were Captain Sigsee, who commanded the scout St. Paul during the Santiago campaign, Mr. Thomas M. Dienale, who commanded the battle on the Texas during the battle of July 3, and Chief Yeoman Gustave E. Decker, who was a clerk to Admiral Sampson during the war. Captain Sigsee's testimony covered his communications to Commodore Schley upon the latter's arrival off Santiago, May 26, 1888, and at subjection of the weather at that period. He was asked a great number of questions by the court. Mr. Dienaide described the loop of the Brooklyn, as seen from the Texas, Mr. Becker testified as to dispatches sent by Admiral Sampson to commotore Schley. War was given on Oct. 2.—An interesting turn was given in the Schley court of inquiry yesterday by the introduction of the first witness in Admiral Schley's behalf. This was Lieut. James J. Boyle, who was a watch officer on board the flagship Brooklyn during the war with Spain. The fact that Lieutenant Doyle was put in charge of the many department has concluded the presentation of its side of the case. Mr. Doyle was called by the department, but as it also has been the purpose of Admiral Schley to summon him, advantage was taken of his presence on the stand to question him as an original witness for "the applause of the people" by Mr. Rayner in the interest of the admiral when the court adjourned for the day. Before undergoing examination at Mr. Rayner's hands, Lieutenant Doyle at Captain Lemly's request explained his part in the battle of July 3 and his original entry in the ship's log concerning the famous loop and his alteration of that entry because he subsequently discovered that his first encounter had been unsuccessful. Lieutenant Commander Sharp, who commanded the Vixen during the Spanish war, also gave his testimony during the day, giving especial attention to notes of the battle of July 3 made by Lieutenant Harlow of his ship. Admiral Evans, Captain Sigsee and Correspondent Dienaide were all recalled for the purpose of correcting their testimony as given the day before and all made additional statements. July 4, when Commander-in-Chief Admiral Sampson arrived there, the smallest bird is the hummingbird of Brazil. It is a little larger than the common honey bee, and weighs about five grains.

Repeated Prophecies Have Been Found False. London, Oct. 3.—"For months past we have been told," says the Daily Graphic this morning, "that if the Boers would only abandon their elusive tactics and come to close quarters, we should see what we should see. The Boers have taken us at our word, and the results are not encouraging." The chorus of dissatisfaction the inertia of the government totally gathering force. Churchill, killed last night at Oldham, described the situation in South Africa as "serious and disquieting." He said the war could not be ended by proclamation of threats, but only by vigorous military operations. The Daily Mail and the Daily Chronicle comment upon the fact that the huge British army is seemingly only able to remain on the defensive. "The Boers are fighting with a determination and a contempt for their own lives as were seldom shown in the early periods of the war. Their plan is to keep Lord Kitchener's army busy in the north and to give roving community in Colony Colony the ability to raise the Cape Dutch against Great Britain." CUP WILL REMAIN HERE Columbia's Second Victory Assures Her Supremacy. New York, Oct. 4.—In a glorious whole sail breeze, which heeled the big cup contestants down until their lee rails were awash in the foaming seas, Herreshoff's white wonder, the Columbia, yesterday beat Watson's British creation over a triangular course of thirty miles by two minutes and 52 seconds, actual time. With the 43 seconds which the Irish shop must allow the American to account of the win, the boat plan the British win the second race of the series by 3 minutes and 35 seconds. The fastest race ever sailed in a cup contest, it was not only a royal struggle from a spectacular point of view, but it was absolutely decisive as to the merits of the two racing machines. There is not a yachting sharp who witnessed the race yesterday who is not firmly convinced that the defender is the abler boat, the faster boat, the closer to reaching or running, and that Sir Thomas Lipton and his merry Britishers are doomed to return home empty handed. Again the ancient piece of silverware brought across the western ocean fifty years ago is safe. Again American supremacy in marine architecture has been vindicated. Sir Thomas has been wishing for a breeze that would bury the Shamrock's lee rail, and yesterday he had, in juice as he a sinister man, in the encclading two years ago, when the Columbia, in a driving finish, beat the Shamrock over six minutes. SCHLEY COURT OF INQUIRY. Washington, Oct. 4.—After Lieutenant Doyle, formerly of Commodore Schley's flagship, the Brooklyn, had completed his testimony before the Schley court of inquiry yesterday, Capt. Wm. C. Dawson of the marine corps was called, and was followed by Lieut. Chas. W. Dryson of the bureau of steam engineering of the navy department. Capt. Dawson was signal officer on board the battleship Indiana during the naval engagement off Santiago, and he was removed from recollection of the behavior of the various ships of the American fleet during that battle. He said that the Brooklyn had gone about 2,000 yards to the southward before joining the pursuit of Cervera's ships. Lieut. Dryson was introduced to testify concerning the coal supply of the flying squadron, but the court adjourned the day before he could be heard to any extent. CHINESE UPRISING IS CONFIRMED.

C., Oct. 2.—Seventeen men are dead as a result of a fire and explosion in Extension mine N. 2, belonging to the Wellington Co. livery company. The flames start from a curtain which caught from a miner's lamp. The fire broke out at the batter of level No. 3 and was communicated across the slope by one of the containers.

South Russian Bank Failures London, Oct. 1.—The Odessa corporation of the Times says that a recent bank failures in South Russia were caused by the general feeling of insecurity among commercial cities in the south. The collapse of the Kharkoff Land bank, with liabilities of 7,000,000 roubles ($3,570,000) and almost no assets had a special injurious effect. Kharkoff business concerns have lost their reputation to such an extent that Odessa trade have told them openly that if the want goods they must pay cash down ..The Filibusters of Venezuela.. Or the Trials of a Spanish Girl By SEWARD W. HOPKINS. Copyrighted 1900 by Robert Bonner's Song. We have already spoken of Pedro francisco, the wealthy planter, the love of Senorita Jacinta, and the confident and agent of Ferdinand Gomez. Francisco was a man about thirty years of age, and had inherited from his father, Spaniard of the type of Don Garza, not only the broad lands that made him wealthy, but the fierce and haughty spirit of the true Spanard, and the love of the pomp and disy of royalty that Don Juan possess- The hatred of the republican government was as strong an emotion in the part of Francisco as his love for Jama Salvarez. He had thrown himself to the conspiracy with fervor. The access of Philip of Aragon would only reward him. With Salvarez in power, he could not hope to win Jacint. If the republican power was crushed, he would not only see his beloved hurt and courtiers, royal glory and military pomp, but he would have Salvarez in his power and Jacinta should his. The plan of Gomez to begin the war in the valley of the Coronil, and a selection of Francisco as his chief organizer there, was but another proof the boundless genius of the man. All the cupidity of the Zambos had been well worked upon by Gomez and Jacint, and they were organized,ady for the revolt against the government having been promised a rich reward for their services. These creatures were under the immediate command of one Mattazudo, half-breed, but not a Zambo. Mattazudo was half white, that is, Spanish, a half Indian. He was shrewd, unguulous and cruel as Gomez could wished him to be. Moreover, he unlimited sway over the Zambos. Gomez was wonderfully well informed of events of which General Salva was entirely ignorant. He had received full instructions from Gomez and knew just when and how to meet the Turtle.

"The army of the Republic— portion of it south of the Orinoco commanded by Salvarez, who has of the men at his castle.

The prolonged ance of Salvarez filled his wife and mother with alarm.

The Castle Falls ing completely and leaving no trace of the manner in which they want. An hour later the followers of Philip and Gomez had all crossed the Coronii, and the standard of the new king, Philip of Aragon, floated from the flagstaff of the castle of Salvarez. There was one person in the retinue of Philip of Aragon whose joy at the successful capture of the castle of Salvarez was not entirely without alloy. This was Pedro Francisco. He knew that Senorita Jacinta was not with her father at Bolivar. He had dwelt upon the pleasure with which he would make her his prisoner, to win release only by making her captivity lifelong—by becoming his wife. His chagrin, therefore, when the castle was found to be unoccupied was very great. He knew nothing about the secret passage. Neither did Gomez, or any one else in the royalist army. Meanwhile the returning battalions of Salvarez heard the flying rumors. of Salvarez need the lying tumors. Salvarez, who was slowly riding ahead, accompanied by Medworth and Tempest, was startled at seeing three horsemen coming at full gallop toward him. The general spurred forward to meet them. "What is it? You have news?" he said. "The castle! The castle!" cried one. "The Spaniard!" cried another. "The people have gone over." "We are lost!" exclaimed the third. General Salvarez turned pale. "What do you mean?" he demanded, "You cry 'the castle!' Has anything gone wrong at the castle? Has the enemy come? My wife and daughter—where are they?" "All is lost, I tell you?" was the reply. "The whole country has risen in revolt. An armed force, consisting of hundreds of men, under Francisco and the half-breed Mattazudo, attacked the castle. We fought bravely. We killed over a hundred, but they were too many for us." "Silence!" roared General Salvarez. "Fear has turned you into garrulous old women. You say the castle is taken? Where, then, are my wife and daughter." "Alas! We do not know. They either escaped or were captured." "Likely," said Tempest, speaking in English to Arthur. "The ladies are either free or in captivity, alive or dead. No denying that fellow's brilliant intellect." "Hush!" said Medworth. Salvarez turned toward them, with a pale, but stern face. "My young friends," he said, "the worst has befallen us. We have been outwitted—tricked—in the most skillful way. While we were in Bolivar, the enemy has entered at another point and now occupy my castle, and have no doubt captured or killed my wife and daughter. There is hard work before me. The castle must be retaken. forward!" He spurred his horse forward. The news spread among the men. They pressed on close behind him. At the rear came the lumbering artillery—the guns he had taken to Bolivar to prevent the landing of the enemy. After a wearisome march they came in sight of the castle, and from its staff floated a peculiar flag. "It not that the flag of Spain?" asked Medworth. "No," replied Tempest, whose venturesome life at sea had made him familiar with the flags of all nations and the languages of most. "It is the flag of no known country. It is modeled closely after that of Spain, but is not quite like it. A flag no doubt designed and chosen as the standard of the royal party in Venezuela." The column was now halted. Salvarez called several of his officers to him. As was perfectly natural and proper, Medworth and Tempest were not admitted to this council of war. They slipped from their horses and walked away toward the Coroni. Some of the soldiers of Salvarez looked at them, but none tried to stop them from going. It was Medworth's idea to get below the bank of the river, which at this point was high, and, thus screened from observation, creep toward the castle and endeavor to obtain some information of the actual situation there. Carefully they crept up the river, drawing nearer each moment to the castle, now and then peeping over the bank to take bearings. The path was beset with difficulties. At one place they came to a small stream that flowed into the Coronli, and to cross which they must find stones or logs to make a stepping-way. The road to the castle, along which the troops of Salvarez were marching, crossed this stream over a bridge a quarter of a mile away, but Medworth did not know that, and if he had, it is not likely he would have left the shelter of the river bank to go to it. After a time they found themselves near the castle. At this point there was a deep, thick growth of vines and low trees along the river, and they had a view of the castle only in one place where the road was cut through down to the landing place of the general's flat boats. They hurried passed this, and found a secure place among some vines and bushes on a low spot between the river and the higher bank, about ten feet from the water. Here they halted, and if they spoke at all, spoke only in whispers, while they peered here and there to see if there were any human beings near them. Suddenly Mdworth was startled at seeing the thick vines on the side of the bank move. A hand appeared—a small, jewelled hand—and then a woman's face. Medworth clutched Tempest, and they remained hidden, wondering what sort of hiding place that was. Two women—one young and pretty, the other mature, but still handsome—emerged cautiously from some secret place, looked this way and that, and moved slowly away up the river. They had not gone beyond the sight of the young Americans, when, with a loud shout, a man rushed upon them and seized the younger. The Americans heard her scream and knew that she needed protection. All thoughts of their own safety fled, and as they saw two others come to the assistance of the first, they rushed out. "Are you not the wife and daughter of General Salvarez?" asked Medworth. Jacinta looked up into the handsome face of the young American, and said: face of the young American, and said: "We are, senor, and this man is our enemy." It is, of course, apparent to the reader that Jacinta's assailant was Pedro Francisco. He made a gesture as if to draw his knife, but before he could use it, the sledge-hammer fist of Tempest caught him square, and he went cursing and howling to earth. His two companions attempted to help him, but Medworth, who was a strong man himself, though not equal to Tempest in strength, knocked one of them down, and Tempest nearly killed the other. The Americans then, to end the affair before others came, drew their revolvers, and Francisco and his companions sneaked away, crestfallen and swearing vengeance. The Americans were overwhelmed with thanks, and Jacinta's black eyes were devouring Medworth's face and figure, while her tongue was uttering soft words of gratitude for his timely assistance. "What a handsome man!" she was saying to herself. "I wonder who he is. I hope I shall meet him again." "Senors," said Dona Maria, who had no thought of the romance in the situation, but hungered for news of her husband, "do you know where General Salvarez is now?" "He is about a mile below, with his soldiers," replied Medworth, who spoke Spanish better than Tempest. "We left him to hurry forward and gain some knowledge of the situation. We will escort you to him." So they started back down the river, Medworth helping Jacinta, and Tempest having Dona Maria under his care. Jacinta smiled fascinatingly upon Medworth, and asked him where he came from. "I came from New York with my friend," he answered. "A beautiful girl is in the hands of the men who have captured your castle, and we have come to rescue her." Then Jacinta did not look so pleased. "Is there any secret approach to the castle?" asked Medworth. "No," replied Jacinta, boldly; "there is none." When they had escorted the two ladies to that point where they could see the faces of the approaching army, they bade them adieu, and again receiving thanks, turned back toward the castle. "Quite an adventure," said Tempest. "By Jove, though, that girl's a stunner! What eyes! But what are we going to do now?" "Those women escaped from the castle by some secret way," said Medworth," and we saw them emerge apparently from the very ground. It's my belief that there is a cave or something there, perhaps with a communication with the castle." (To be Continued) EXAMINING THE DOCTORS. Partially Educated Physicians Menace Health of the Public. Medical examinations in this state are strict, but not severe, says the Philadelphia Times. Certainly no person should be allowed to take human life into his hands unless he was able to answer the few questions that are asked, and yet those who fail consider their fate a personal hardship. They probably forget the interests of the people they would practice upon, if allowed to hang out their signs. Consider for a moment that in many other states in this country young men enter at once into the practice of medicine from imperfectly managed schools which turn them out in short order. If put to the Pennsylvania test, they could never practice medicine, but with imperfect educations, with scant training, and as a rule with little natural aptitude for the work, they physic the body and occasionally operate upon it with knives and saws. Considering the thousands of partially educated doctors who are turned upon the country every year, it is wonderful that the longevity of the nation is increasing. Still that may be explained by the fact that most sensible people nowadays are not t.king medicine except under compulsion, and many of our best doctors are stronger in demands about food, exercise and fresh air than they are about their prescriptions. The wife of one of the most successful and most noted physicians in this country complained the other day that she never got an opportunity to give her children medicine, except when the doctor was called out of town—Philadelphia Times.

Three pounds of black rye bread are included in the daily rations and if any is left over the men are at liberty to sell the remains.

We have already spoken of Pedro Francisco, the wealthy planner, the love of Senorita Jacinta, and the confident and agent of Ferdinand Gomez. Francisco was a man about thirty years of age, and had inherited from a father, Spanlard of the type of Don San Garza, not only the broad lands that made him wealthy, but the fierce and haughty spirit of the true Spanish, and the love of the pomp and disy of royalty that Don Juan possess- The hatred of the republican government was as strong an emotion in the art of Francisco as his love for Janta Salvarez.

"My young friends," he said, "the worst has befallen us. We have been outwitted—tricked—in the most skillful way. While we were in Bolivar, the enemy has entered at another point and now occupy my castle, and have no doubt captured or killed my wife and daughter. There is hard work before me. The castle must be retaken. korward!" He spurred his horse forward. The news spread among the men. They pressed on close behind him. At the rear came the lumbering artillery—the guns he had taken to Bolivar to prevent the landing of the enemy. After a wearisome march they came in sight of the castle, and from its staff floated a peculiar flag. "It not that the flag of Spain?" asked Medworth. "No," replied Tempest, whose venturesome life at sea had made him familiar with the flags of all nations and the languages of most. "It is the flag of no known country. It is modeled closely after that of Spain, but is not quite like it. A flag no doubt designed and chosen as the standard of the royal party in Venezuela." The column was now halted. Salvarez called several of his officers to him. As was perfectly natural and proper, Medworth and Tempest were not admitted to this council of war. They slipped from their horses and walked away toward the Coronil. Some of the soldiers of Salvarez looked at them, but none tried to stop them from going. It was Medworth's idea to get below the bank of the river, which at this point was high, and, thus screened from observation, creep toward the castle and endeavor to obtain some information of the actual situation there. Carefully they crept up the river, drawing nearer each moment to the castle, now and then peeping over the bank to take bearings. The path was beset with difficulties. At one place they came to a small stream that flowed into the Coroni, and to cross which they must find stones or logs to make a stepping-way. The road to the castle, along which the troops of Salvarez were marching, crossed this stream over a bridge a quarter of a mile away, but Medworth did not know that, and if he had, it is not likely he would have left the shelter of the river bank to go to it. After a time they found themselves near the castle. At this point there was a deep, thick growth of vines and low trees along the river, and they had a view of the castle only in one place where the road was cut through down to the landing place of the general's flat boats. They hurried passed this, and found a secure place among some vines and bushes on a low spot between the river and the higher bank, about ten feet from the water. Here they halted, and if they spoke at all, spoke only in whispers, while they peered here and there to see if there were any human beings near them. Suddenly Mdworth was startled at seeing the thick vines on the side of the bank move. A hand appeared—a small, jewelled hand—and then a woman's face. Medworth clutched Tempest, and they remained hidden, wondering what sort of hiding place that was. Two women—one young and pretty, the other mature, but still handsome—emerged cautiously from some secret place, looked this way and that, and moved slowly away up the river. They had not gone beyond the sight of the young Americans, when, with a loud shout, a man rushed upon them and seized the younger. The Americans heard her scream and knew that she needed protection. "Are you not the wife and daughter of General Salvarez?" asked Medworth. Jacinta looked up into the handsome face of the young American, and said: "We are, senor, and this man is our enemy." It is, of course, apparent to the reader that Jacinta's assailant was Pedro Francisco. He made a gesture as if to draw his knife, but before he could use it, the sledge-hammer fist of Tempest caught him square, and he went cursing and howling to earth. His two companions attempted to help him, but Medworth, who was a strong man himself, though not equal to Tempest in strength, knocked one of them down, and Tempest nearly killed the other. The Americans then, to end the affair before others came, drew their revolvers, and Francisco and his companions sneaked away, crestfallen and swearing vengeance. The Americans were overwhelmed with thanks, and Jacinta's black eyes were devouring Medworth's face and figure, while her tongue was uttering soft words of gratitude for his timely assistance. "What a handsome man!" she was saying to herself. "I wonder who he is. I hope I shall meet him again." "Senors," said Dona Maria, who had no thought of the romance in the situation, but hungered for news of her husband, "do you know where General Salvarez is now?" "He is about a mile below, with his soldiers," replied Medworth, who spoke Spanish better than Tempest. "We left him to hurry forward and gain some knowledge of the situation. We will escort you to him." So they started back down the river, Medworth helping Jacinta, and Tempest having Dona Maria under his care. Jacinta smiled fascinatingly upon Medworth, and asked him where he came from. "I came from New York with my friend," he answered. "A beautiful girl is in the hands of the men who have captured your castle, and we have come to rescue her." Then Jacinta did not look so pleased. "Is there any secret approach to the castle?" asked Medworth. "No," replied Jacinta, boldly; "there is none." When they had escorted the two ladies to that point where they could see the faces of the approaching army, they bade them adieu, and again receiving thanks, turned back toward the castle. "Quite an adventure," said Tempest. "By Jove, though, that girl's a stunner! What eyes! But what are we going to do now?" "Those women escaped from the castle by some secret way," said Medworth," and we saw them emerge apparently from the very ground. It's my belief that there is a cave or something there, perhaps with a communication with the castle." * * * (To be Continued ) Partially Educated Physicians Menace Health of the Public. Medical examinations in this state are strict, but not severe, says the Philadelphia Times. Certainly no person should be allowed to take human life into his hands unless he was able to answer the few questions that are asked, and yet those who fail consider their fate a personal hardship. They probably forget the interests of the people they would practice upon, if allowed to hang out their signs. Consider for a moment that in many other states in this country young men enter at once into the practice of medicine from imperfectly managed schools which turn them out in short order. If put to the Pennsylvania test, they could never practice medicine, but with imperfect educations, with scant training, and as a rule with little natural aptitude for the work, they physic the body and occasionally operate upon it with knives and saws. Considering the thousands of partially educated doctors who are turned upon the country every year, it is wonderful that the longevity of the nation is increasing. Still that may be explained by the fact that most sensible people nowadays are not t.king medicine except under compulsion, and many of our best doctors are stronger in demands about food, exercise and fresh air than they are about their prescriptions. The wife of one of the most successful and most noted physicians in this country complained the other day that she never got an opportunity to give her children medicine, except when the doctor was called out of town—Philadelphia Times.

Favorite dinner dishes include "stche"—a cabbage soup—potatoes, peas, beans, macaroni and various kinds of porridges, eaten with onions and lard. Only half a pound of meat is allowed each man daily, and the Russian pound is ten per cent less than in this country. Mushrooms are consumed in great quantities when in season. Three pounds of black rye bread are included in the daily rations and if any is left over the men are at liberty to sell the remains. As the soldiers' bread is very nourishing and purer than the ordinary bakers', the extra rations sell well. In the way of drink, beer is too great a luxury for him, so he quenches his thirst with "qvas," a cheap substitute made from fermented black bread. On high days the soldiers are regaled with vodki, often at their officers' expense. Their games are of the most primitive character.

The pastor announced as his text Ephesius ill, 17-19: "That ment something like a banjo, which will keep them amused for hours. Singing, however, is the soldier's greatest pleasure, and chorus singing is a great feature in the Russian army's accomplishments. The number of songs an ordinary soldier knows is beyond belief. Singing is encouraged by the officers, and the men with the best voices are especially rewarded. Among illiterate people the singer will always be able to exert a great influence. One has hardly to see a Russian regiment on the march to understand what moral power the singers can give the soldiers. According to the latest returns for 1901, the statistics for the Russian army are as follows, on peace footing: Infantry, 900 battallons of foot, or 450,000 bayonets; cavalry, 59 regiments, or 51,000 sabers; artillery, 400 batteries, or 1,700 guns; Cossacks, 58,000 men and 108 cannon. The general total on peace footing, including those not in the ranks, garrison troops, and local reserve forces, amounts to 950,000 men, with 350,000 horses.

A great pantheon at Washington would rather separate him from the people than bring him to them. It would have too much of the official stamp, would have but one narrow significance as regards all its dead tenants, whereas the grave in the distant cemetery gives to the idea of the presidency the broadest significance possible. It is through belonging to his town, his county and his state that a president belongs in the most intimate way to the nation. --- PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WOR- THE CAPITAL.

The Japanese Maid. A Japanese maid is now an absolute necessity to the society woman who desires to be strictly up to date. Prominent women in New York are all adopting the idea, and they are finding that the pretty Jap women can attend to their wants far better than the French maid, who for so long has been in such demand by the smart set. There are several reasons why the Japanese woman makes a better maid than the French, German or English woman. In the first place she is the most cleanly person on the face of the earth, and that counts for a whole lot. Then she knows how to dress the hair better than any of her sisters and she knows more little secrets which are of value in milady's boudou than the woman of any other nationality.

But while the last resting place of the body may be in Canton, or Springfield, or Cleveland, there is no reason why a national memorial should not be erected at Washington, if any president or for all the presidents. As single magnificent presidential arch would have room for many inscriptions covering the succession for many years. Or if it were desired to select one man for special honor the structure might be made a beautifully artistic tribute of regard for him and his work. Such monuments could be built most appropriately in the capital and without affecting the question of burial. ---
