HARRIS The familiar picture of Mr. James Brenton, is so well known to our readers that it is useless for us to enlarge upon the history of Mr. Brenton, who is the republican nominee for Mayor of this city to be voted upon next Monday. Mr. Brenton is one of the hard working republicans, but by his own energy and labor has risen until he has won the confidence and respect of the people of Des Moines and the party to which he is identified has made him the standard bearer; certainly he deserves our full and unselfish support. He is no doubt a true and tried friend of the colored race, having been found true to our race at all times and under all circumstances, hence he merits the unanimous endorsement of the colored voters. Having printed his history about three weeks ago we can only commend his candidacy to the voters of the city, and any support they may render him next Monday at the polls will be appreciated by the leading republicans. Carl Kahler Shoe Co., EASTER DAY is the time when shoe fashions change. The heavy, sturdy shoes of winter must give way to the light and more dressy shoes of spring and summer. To have your feet neatly dressed is more essential to good form then the simply wearing of a new hat or frock. The effect of many a beautiful Easter costume is lost by the wearing of a "shabby" shoe. Take this hint and be in line with a stylish, up-to-date pair of Kahler's Shoes or Oxfords by Easter Sunday.

From Illinois he moved to Sheldon, Iowa, where 17 years of his life were spent in farming and the performance of public functions. He was three times elected mayor of the city of Sheldon, twice without opposition, and also held the position of postmaster of said city. In 1888 he came to Des Moines and has resided here ever since, where his record as a citizen and mayor of the city is well known.

The announcement of Easter tide reminds one of the approach of spring-time. This sacred festival, Easter, has been observed with great solemnity by the christian churches and all christian believers for many ages. The observance of this sacred festival always comes the first Sunday after the first full moon, which occurs after March 20th of each year. It was original a church festival, solomnized by that body, but this latter age, and especially the 19th century it seems to be a festival whereladies are to display their new dress and hat costumes at the churches. They over look or neglect the church duties that day to look pretty, all which is shallow, light and irreligious. Let us as christians go to the churches next Sunday morning to honor the glory of a resurrected Saviour, who was dead and buried, but arose from the grave and triumph over death, hell and the grave, and ascended to heaven to prepare a dwelling place for the real christian. Oh if we would study the real meaning of Easter we would become to realize that it means so much to the christian civilization. OSCEOLA BUDGETARIAN Every one is making great preparations for Easter.

Norris of Minnesota, Minn., has come to our city to reaffirm. We give him a beauty welcome. Dae Mokse, March 27, 1993. The senate committee on pardons by a vote of 10 to 3 decided to report to the senate against pardoning West Missouri, who is confined at Ana- sia, for murdering his father and mother. The question was discus- sed of great length and the number of the committee is strongly in favor of him. It is understood that the house committee will report the case out without any recom- mendation at all. The house committee on appropriation has recommended for passage bill appropriating $150,000 to the St. Louis exposition. The committee is not a unit in favor of this, and it is quite said as many favor a quarter of a million as there are there. The committee voted down the bill, and appropriate $100,000 to the exposition. The senate committee has recommended $75,000. The committee also voted to appropriate $100,000 for the architectural building. There is a string tied to this, however, in a provision that the appropriation shall not be available unless the state receives the claims from the bonds and war warrants, and that the money shall be taken out secondary to the $60,000 that is to come therefrom for an arsenal and adjutant general building, except for municipal is authorized to buy much land as needful, which is supposed to be the land lying between the present west wing and Twelfth street. It is presumed that a man would build a built between the two wings. The amount asked to complete the building was $300,000. It is estimated the main building, which future assemblies are to build, would be $200,000. The committee killed the Searcure good food bill, which carried an appropriation of $10,000. The committee recommended for peace the bill that have been appropriated, appropriating $7,000 to the Benedict house of Des Moines, the Dubuque Rescue home and the Women's and Babies' home of Sioux City. Judge Holmes sentenced Albert Smith to twenty-five years in the penitentiary at FL Madison. By good behavior he can cut his sentence to thirteen years. Smith was convicted of killing Bruce Martin. When Smith was arraigned before Judge Holmes his attorney spoke in his behalf, insisting that Smith had killed Martin with abusive behavior he could be hoped he Judge the judge would be "easy on him." A life sentence might have been imposed. The house committee on public health has recommended a substitute for the bill creating a separate board of examiners for osteopaths. The substitute provides that the present board of examiners will be responsible who are graduates of incorporated colleges of osteopathy. This change the law so as to leave no discretion on the board, which at present has the power to decide whether a college or examination in all subjects in which the osteopaths' course of study is the same as that of the other physicians. They will be examined in these subjects with the applicants from other colleges or understood to be pass satisfactorily they will be granted certificates as osteopaths upon their showing diplomas from incorporated colleges of osteopathy. The osteopaths will be well satisfied with this measure, except that they would have liked to have been given a member of the board. The committee also recommend an invertebr hospital. This is the bill flavored by H. H. Abrams, his plan being to have one of the wards in one of the insane hospitals of the state into the hospital for invertebrs. The H. H. Abrams leaves of bread shall weigh at least one pound was recommended for passage. The house committee on suppression of intemperance recommended for passage the bill by Langan of Crawford, making it a misdemeanor to procure liquor for a minor, a person adicted to the use of intoxicating persons or person who has taken any of the so-called liquor cures. It was discovered in the house that the house had been concurring in senate amendments to house bills by a virae roc vote instead of repressing the bills by roll call. This is held to invalidate all bills so passed and those bills have been signed by the governor will have to be re-represented and republicated. Four have been discovered and the journal is being carefully inspected to reform the error. The requirement of roll call is constitutional; so that the defect would be vial.

A phonographic marriage was later performed in Oswego, N. Y. The married couple housed quarrels because of small differences and the presence of witnesses she spoke into a phonographic these words: "I, Nellie James," take this man James F. James, and take this woman her husband," etc. The register was then fernigated, and taken to the groom's residence, where the latter and a performer performed their part of the ceremony.

The development of restaurants in Park City and Bunyan has led to the development of the fruit. That they wish, the one that is the most popular. SENATORS BY DIRECT VOTE House Passes Hugh Resolution by a Large Majority Dan M. McKee—The house yesterday, by a vote of 87 to 16, passed the Hugh resolution asking for the call of a convention of the states to provide for an amendment of the constitution. Sweley of Woodbury offered an amendment striking out that part of the resolution which says the state of Iowa joins with other states in respectfully requesting the call of a convention, but the amendment was lost. Hughes declared that the national house had four times passed a resolution asking for the election of senators by a direct vote of the people, and that the measure in the measure concurred in the senate. He said that the senate now showed signs of waking up to the situation and if the senate did not pass the resolution congress must, upon petitions from two thirds of the states, call such a convention. The resolution, after the preamble, reads: "Be it resolved by the general assembly of the state of Iowa. That the legislature of the state of Iowa shall constitute an amendment to the constitution which shall provide for the election of United States senators by popular vote and joins with the fully requesting that a convention be called for the purpose of proposing an amendment to the constitution of the United States senator, and that such amendment shall provide for a change in the present method of electing U. S. senators so that they can be chosen by the direct vote of the people. Be it further." "Resolved, That a copy of this joint resolution, and an application to concur in the action, be sent to the secretary of state of each of the United States, and that a similar copy be sent to the president of the United States, and the maker of the house of representatives. INCREASE REPRESENTATIVES. House Passed Constitutional Amendment Proposed by Temple. Des Moines, March 26. The house passed the joint resolution introduced by Temple proposing an amendment to the constitution of Iowa relative to the membership of the house and senate. Under the provisions of the bill the number of members in the house will be increased to 108. The membership will be increased at the rate of 10% at by dividing the total population of the state by the number of counties. Each county, however, is to have one representative. Each county having a representative is to add the total number addition to the ratio for one member is to have an additional member. Only the nine largest counties, however, are to have two members. They are the counties of Burlington, Wattamie, Linn, Dubuque, Scott, Clinton, Lee and Des Moines. Under the bill it is not likely that counties other than the above will ever have two representatives. Temple introduced the same resolution six years ago; it passed both general assemblies as provided, but was lost sight of my the people and defended them. The resolution will be submitted to the Thirtieth general assembly, provided it passes the senate, and after having been passed by that body will be submitted to the people at the general election in 1994. BOARD OF CONTROL HEARD Argue Successfully for Liberal Apt correspondents Des Moines, Marca 28—A joint conference of the entire membership of the general assembly was held last evening in the house chamber for the purpose of hearing members of the board of control in regard to the omnibus bill recommending appropriations for state charitable institutions. Senator Ball was made chairman. The three members of the board, Chairman Cowie, and Judges Kinnne and Robinson, were present. They were joined by a number of same manner as argued in the biennial report to the legislature. The object of this joint session was for the purpose of relieving the appropriations committee of the responsibility of making necessary primary appropriations, each with appropriate suit in an increased tax levy. The appropriation committees desire that whatever honor or stigma which may be attached to the voting of such appropriation be made the legislature instead of by the minority comprising such committees. Throughout the entire session last night few expressions were heard which would indicate any great desire to increase the amount of appropriations recommended by the committee. It is generally believed that the omnibus bill will suffer few changes so far as the aggregate appropriation is concerned. BRIGHAM APPOINTED. Great Western Engineer Made State Labor Commissioner. Des Moines, March 26.—Governor Cummins has named Ed D. Brigham, of Des Moines, state labor commissioner, to succeed C. F. Wennertram, of Des Moines. The strum was a candidate for reappointment, but after much consultation and discussion the position was given to Brigham. He had the endorsement of about 100 people of the state that were heard from in regard to the appointment. This is the last important appointment that Governor Cummins will make for some time. The only offices that remain are held at present are office inspectors. Mr. Brigham, the appointee, is well qualified for the position. He has been an engineer on the Great West.

Des Moines, March 28—Governor William summoned the Molsberry bill, better known as the "merger measure." The bill removed the limit of indebtedness per mile that may be contracted by railways running through Iowa. It has been persistently claimed by those opposing the bill, as was in question addressed through by the Burlington railway's lobbyists for the purpose of enabling that corporation to take over the Nortenur Securities company's stock in case the latter loses its case in the federal courts. A hustle filled the room, when a shaken test tube message from the governor was announced. It was felt at once that it was a veto upon the much discussed Molsberry bill. On motion of Porter the message was read and proved to be the return of Lae bill without the governor's approval. The message pointed out that the bill was unconstitutional in that it created a class legislation opposing the principle that all laws should be general and of uniform application but it were not contrary to the constitution and did not give it his approval anyway. corporate power to issue stock and incur indebtedness needs restraint rather than greater freedom. Not a state railway or a state railway the unlimited power to incur indebtedness, and to take off suca limitation in this state was to confer a license which had no parallel. The measure is unconstitutional for the reason that it favors one class of corporations, namely railways, over other corporations and that it discriminates in favor of the railways operated by the state. The state state limits by removing the limitation of indebtedness as to them while leaving the law in force as against lines wholly within the state. The state also enables the two or three roads to improve their property but to overcome real or imaginary difficulties in the purchase of stock by certain roads, which he specified in the agreement associated with it in the Northern Securities company. AFTER WHITECHAPEL. State Accuses Women of Violating the Mulct Law. Des Molines, March 28—County Attorney John McLennan, backed by the Good Citizen's League of Des Molines, has commended the efforts of Whitechapel, who are said to be engaged in the sale of liquor contrary to the Iowa mutel law. Fourteen original notices were placed on the hands of the judges to serve on parties in Whitechapel and other sections of the city where this lawlessness is said to exist. These notices have been served and accepted and are being served to defend the defendants from selling liquors anywhere within the limits of the Ninth Judicial district of Iowa. Judge Holmes of the criminal division will issue the tem- County Attorney McLennan stated that the prosecution of Whitechapel habitats, and others known to be violating the provisions of the state liquor law, was being amended. The Good Citizen's League, which is behind the county attorney, is already gathering more evidence to be used in obtaining inquiries against others. Members of the league and detectives, hired for the investigation, are in the investigations with a view to ascertaining who is engaged in the illegal sales. As fast as this evidence is obtained it will be turned over to the county attorney, who will employ it in obtaining temporary restraining orders. The proceedings in temporary injunction will, in all probability, lead to wholesale indictments against the women of Whitechapel and in other sections of the city where it has been discovered or the liquor law practiced. Assessor French upon hearing of the action commenced or the girls of Whitechapel district assessed the owners of the property in which these cases are conducted in quarterly assessments of $150. They are twenty of these property holders in all. VOTED AGAINST THE BILL. Railroad Taxation Reform Is Strongly Opposed.

Hohl meat market shortly after midnight and spread to the Lacona Leader office and residence of the leader, including building contents to ashes, except some furniture is saved by Tidden. The total loss is estimated at about $9,900 with insurance. Once during a heated debate between Senator Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, and Senator Joseph W. Bailley, of Texas, the question of law in Texas and law in Ohio came to Foraker, by way of a secret shot, to told Bailley that if he would come to Ohio he would learn a great deal of law that he did not know. "If there is so very much law to be learned in Ohio," remarked Bailley, "I must advise the senator to spend all his spare time there. He neeches it." Thomas A. Edison is deaf, but, like many whose hearing is defective, he sometimes understands what is said when it is least expected. There very visible signs of hearing, whom as usual, he was polite, although busy, and he patiently answered many questions unnecessarily shouted at him. Finally one of the visitors, the humorist of the party, said to another: "I bet he'd hear, I bet he'd hear," said Edison, looking directly at the man, and smiling. "I would; but no thank you, not today." Some years ago a Philadelphia preacher inaugurated in his Sunday school the practice of having the children quote some scriptural text as they dropped their pencil. On the first Sunday in question, a little shaver walked up, and said: "The Lord loveth a cheerful giver," and in dropped his penny. "Charity shall cover a multitude of people," he said. It is more blessed to give than to receive," quoted the third, and so on. Just then, up walked a little fellow with the unmistakable remnants of molasses candy on his chubby face, dropped his cent he baked out. "A fool and his money are soon parted." The late Lord Dufferin was fond of relating an amusing experience which occurred when he was returning to Ireland from a diplomatic mission to be married, and his engagement to the beautiful Miss Hamilton had just been announced. He landed one country station near Clandeboye, and hired a driver to take him the four or five miles, but he was so muffled up that the driver failed to recognize him. Presently Lord Dufferin asked: "Any news about here?" "No news," grumply replied the man, "except that he was the Hamilton going to marry that ugly fellow, Dufferin!" The Tillam-McLaurin incident recalled a heated debate which once took place in the senate between Senator Henry S. Foote, of Mississippi, and Senator James M. Theississippi statesman had been accusing Senator Hale of being "as guilty as if he had committed highway robbery, in promoting a certain individual to attack on the institution of slavery, Turning to Senator Hale, he said: "I invite him to visit Mississippi; and I will tell him before hand, in all honour, that I have been sent into the interior before he would grace one of the tallest trees of the forest, with a rope around his neck, with the approbation of every honest and patriotic citizen; and that, if necessary, would myself assist in the operation." It has been urged that doctors at least should be "absolutely vaccinated." To show what is meant, Dr. Arthur Maude states that after four vaccinations at intervals of seven to fifteen 1832 revaccinated himself four times at intervals of a month, the effects decreasing to no reaction at all; and since that time he has regularly vaccinated him, he has been vaccinated that the physician should have this protection, which gives no inconvenience after two applications.

The New York Times tells of a New York woman who had a slight cold. She was advised by a faith healer to consult one of the cut, but she was told the cold disappeared, but in its place came a bill for 45 with the information that by absent treatment she had been cured by a healer she was ignored, but it was followed by others in quick succession, and, finally, from a truly American distaste for a row, it was paid.

The house committee on pardons by a vote of 4 to 3 decided to report to the Senate against pardoning Wes- ler killing, who is confined at Anna- sine, for murdering his father and mother.

The house committee on appropriation has recommended for passage a bill appropriating $150,000 to the St. Louis exposition. The committee is not a unit in favor of this, and it is quite alike as many favor a quarter of a million as there are there. Less sensitive votes down less sensitive votes up to appropriate $100,000 to the exposition. The senate committee has recommended $75,000. The committee also voted to appropriate $100,000 for the historical building. There is a string tied to this, however, in a provision that the appropriation shall not be available unless the state reimburses claims from the land bonds and war warrants, and that the money shall be taken out secondary to the $80,000 that is to come therefrom for an annual and adjunct general fund to buy so much land as needful, which is supposed to be the land lying between the present west wing and Twilight street. It is presupposed that the building is built between the two wings. The original amount asked to complete the building was $300,000.

The substitute provides that the present board of examiners will be appointed who are graduates of incorporated colleges of osteopathy. This change the law so as to leave no discretion with the board, which at present has the power to decide where the college will be located "or not. Under the proposed law the simple fact that they are incorporated will meet with all the requirements. Ceremonies must also be issued by examination in all subjects in which the osteopaths' course of study is the same as that of the other physicians. They will be examined in these subjects along with the applicants from incorporated colleges of osteopathy.

The house passed by of 67 to 16, passed the Hughs resolution asking for the call of a convention of the states to provide for an amendment of the constitution. Sweley of Woodbury offered an amendment striking out that part of the resolution which says the state of Iowa joins with other states in respectfully requesting the call of a convention, but the amendment was lost. Hughes declared that the national house had four times passed a resolution asking for the election of senators by a direct vote of the people, and that each time the measure he passed was in by the senate. He said that the senate now showed signs of waking up to the situation and if the senate did not pass the resolution congress must, upon petitions from two thirds of the states, call such a convention. The resolution, after the preamble, reads: "Be it resolved by the general assembly of the state of Iowa. That the legislature of the state of Iowa should constitute an amendment to the constitution which shall provide for the election of United States senators by popular vote and joins with the senators of the United States in fully requesting that a convention be called for the purpose of proposing an amendment to the constitution of the United States as proponent of the constitution, which amendment shall provide for a change in the present method of electing U. S. senators so that they can be chosen by the election of the people. Be it furrowed." "Resolved, That a copy of this joint resolution, and an application to constitute a copy, be sent to the secretary of state of each of the United States, and that a similar copy be sent to the president of the United States, the maker of the house of representatives. INCREASE REPRESENTATIVES. House Passed Constitutional Amend ment Proposed by Temple Ment Proposed by 26. The De Moines, March 26.—The house passed the joint resolution intending by Temple proposing an amendment to the constitution of Iowa, relative to the membership of the house and senate. Under the provisions of the bill the number of members in the house will be increased to 108. The membership at the state will be divided the total population of the state by the number of counties. Each county, however, is to have one representative. Each county having addition to the ratio for one member is to have an additional member. Only the nine largest counties, however, are to have two members. They are wattamie, Linn, Duquette, Scott, Clinton, Lee and Des Moines. Under the bill it is not likely that counties other than the above will ever have two representatives. Temple introduced the same resolution six years ago; it passed both general assemblies as provided, but was lost sight of by the people and defended. The resolution will be submitted to the Thirtieth general assembly, provided it passes the senate, and after having been passed by that body will have been passed at the general election in 1904. BOARD OF CONTROL HEARD Argue Successfully for Liberal Ap proprations.

They were joined by a number of same manner as argued in the biennial report to the legislature. The object of this joint session was for the purpose of relieving the appropriations committee of the responsibility of making extraordinary appropriations in an increased tax levy. The appropriations committee desire that whatever honor or stigma which may be attached to the voting of such appropriations should be based on the minority comprising such committees. Throughout the entire session last night few expressions were heard which would indicate any great desire on the part of the legislature to reduce appropriations in the appropriation mended by the committees. It is generally believed that the omnibus bill will suffer few changes so far as the aggregate appropriation is concerned. BRIGHAM APPOINTED. Great Western Engineer Mado State Labor Commissioner. Des Moines, March 26—Governor Cummins has named Ed D. Brigham, of Des Moines, state labor commissioner, to succeed C. F. Wennerstam, of Des Moines. The brigham strum was a candidate for reappointment, but after much consultation and discussion the position was given to Brigham. He had the endorsement of Governor Cummins and the institutions of the state that were heard from in regard to the appointment. This is the last important appointment that Governor Cummins will make for some time. The only offices that remain be held at present are oil inspections. Mr. Brigham, the appointee, is well qualified for the position. He has been an engineer on the Great Western for many years and has held all subjects pertaining to labor. His appointment will be entirely satisfactory to the labor organizations of the state, and was only made by Governor. Cummins after being appointed to the other walcants. Brigham's appointment will take effect on April 1. VETOES " MERGER" BILL GOVERNOR CUMMINS RETURNS THE BILL TO THE SENATE. the Governor Says the Act is Class Legislation and Unconstitutional. Des Moines, March 28—Governor Cummins yesterday announced his veto of the Molarsbury bill, better known as the "merger measure." The bill removed the limit to the number contracted by railways running through Iowa. It has been persistently claimed by those opposing the bill that it was in the interest of the nation to bring the railways' lobbyists for the purpose of enabling that corporation to take over the Northern Securities company, which has lost its case in the federal courts. A hush fell upon the senate when, shortly after ten, the message from the governor was announced. It was felt at once that once the governor had discussed Mollery bill, the motion of Porter the message was read and proved to be the return of the bill without the governor's approval. The message pointed out that the bill was unconventional in that it created legislation opposing the principle that all laws should be general and of uniform application but... it were not contrary to the constitution, he could not give it his approval anyway. Corporations to issue stock and indebtedness needs restraint rather than greater freecom. Not a state had been found that conferred upon railways the unlimited power to incur indebtedness, and to take off suicidation in this state was to confer a license which had no parallels. The measure is unconstitutional for the reason that it favored one class of corporations, namely railways, over other corporations and that it discriminates in favor of the railways operating lines both without and with the real law. The limitation of indebtedness as to them while leaving the old law in force as against lines wholly within the state. The real application would not be to enable the two or three roads to improve their property but to overcome real or imaginary stock by certain roads, which he specified by the Burlington, and other lines associated with it in the Northern Securities company. AFTER WHITECHAPEL. State Accuses Women of Violating the Mulct Law. Des Moines, March 28—County Attorney John McLennan, backed by the Good Citizen's League of Des Moines, has commenced a lawsuit against Whitechapel, who are said to be engaged in the sale of liquor contrary to the Iowa mule law. Fourteen original notices were placed on the hands of the plaintiffs to serve on parties in Whitechapel and other sections of the city where this lawlessness is said to exist. These notices have been served and accepted and the plaintiffs are demanding the defendants from selling liquors anywhere within the limits of the Ninth Judicial district of Iowa. Judge Holmes of the criminal division will issue the tem- County Attorney McLennan stated that the prosecution of Whitechapel habitus, and others known to be violating the provisions of the state law, were the focus of four courtroom mentioned. The Good Citizen's League, which is behind the county attorney, is already gathering more evidence to be used in obtaining injunctions against others. Members of the league and the court said to be making investigations with a view to ascertaining who is engaged in the illegal sales. As fast as this evidence is obtained it will be turned over to the county attorney, who will employ it obtaining temporary restraining orders. The proceedings in temporary injunction will, in all probability, lead to wholesale indictments against the officers of the city where it has been discovered violations of the liquor law have been practiced. Assessor French upon hearing of the officers of the city of Whitechapel district assessed the owners of the property in which these cases are conducted with quarterly mult assessments of $150. There are many of these property holders in all. VOTED AGAINST THE BILL. Railroad Taxation Reform Is Strongly Opposed.

Council Bluffs, March 28.—An unknown benefactor, or one who does not wish his name to be made known, has given $25,000 to the Christian home he is benefactor to.

Holl meat market shortly after midnight and spread to the Lacona Leader office and residence of the den, reducing building contents to allow ground-surfaced furniture covered by Tidens. The total loss estimated is about $2,940, with insurance of $1,000. Once during a heated debate between Senator Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, and Senator Joseph W. Bailley, of Texas, the question of law in Texas and law in Ohio came up, the passage became obscure, the told Bailley that if he would come to law he would learn a great deal of law that he did not know. "If there is so very much law to be learned in Ohio," remarked Bailley, "I must advise the senator to spend all his spare time there. He needs it." Thomas A. Edison is deaf, but, like many whose hearing is defective, he sometimes understands what is said when it is least expected. There were visitation one time, usual, he was polite, although busy, and he patiently answered many questions unnecessarily shouted at the hummor. Finally one of the visitors, the humorist of the party, said to another: "I bet he had heard it." I bet Edison, said Edison, looking directly at the man, and Edison, looking directly at the man, and not thank, "I would; but no, thank you, not today." Some years ago a Philadelphia presacher inaugurated in his Sunday school the practice of having the children quote some scripical text as they dropped their pennies on the first Sunday in question, a little shaver walked up and said: "The Lord loveth a cheerful giver," and in dropped his penny "Charity shall cover a multitude of money in an inpiration in more than to give than to receive," quoted the third, and so on. Just then, up walked a little fellow with the unmistakable remnants of mollasses candy on his chubby face, and as he dropped his cent, he beamed in foolish joy and his money are now spared." The late Lord Dufferin was fond of relating an amusing experience which occurred when he was returning to Ireland from a diplomatic mission to be married, and his engagement to the beautiful Miss Hamilton had just been announced. He landed on the island, placed on a country station near Clandeboye, and bired a driver to take him the four or five miles, but he was so muffled up that the driver failed to recognize him. Presently Lord Dufferin asked: "Any news about here?" "No news," grumply replied the man, except he went to a nice Hamish Dufferin going to marry that ugly fellow, Dufferin!" The Tillamah-McLaurin incident recalled a heated debate which once took place in the senate between Senator Henry S. Foote, of Mississippi, and Senator James M. The Mississippi stateman had been accusing Senator Hale of being "as guilty as if he had committed highway robbery," in promoting a certain conspiracy to attack on the institution of slavery. Turling to Senator Hale, he said: "I invite him to visit Mississippi; and I will tell him before hand, in all honour of the man who has come into the interior before he would grace one of the tallest trees of the forest with a rope around his neck, with the approbation of every honest and pathetic citizen; and that, if necessary I would myself assist in the operation." It has been urged that doctors at least should be "absolutely vaccinated." To show what is meant, Dr. Arthur Maude states that after four offences at the institutions at seven to nine years ago 1882 he revived himself four times at intervals of a month, the effects decreasing to no reaction at all; and since that time he has regularly vaccinated him with the vaccine. That the physician should have this protection, which gives no inconvenience after two applications. Butter is now packed in a manner that permits of its carriage from Australia to Europe without losing its freshness. A box is formed of six sheets or ordinary window glass, and a lid is formed of a plastic cover. This box is then enclosed in plaster of paris one-quarter of an inch thick, this being again covered with special paper. The plaster is a bad conductor so the temperature inside the box remains low. It is made to hold 200 pounds of butter, and the cost of packing is 1d a pound. The New York Times tells of a New York woman who had a slight cold. She was advised by a faith healer to consult one of the cut, but she was not sure. Later the cold disappeared, but in its place came a bill for $5 with the information that by absent treatment she had been cured by a healer she was not sure. But it was ignored, but it was followed by others, in quick succession, and, finally, from a truly American distaste for a row, it was paid. A good many loose habits are nothib and night robes.

Pekin, Minnesota, imperial government has telegraphed, by the order of the empress, to the viceroyes of Kwang-Tung, and Kwang-Si that they will be held personally responsible for any further spread of the southern rebellion, which is causing the gravest alarm in Pekin. London, March 25.—The news from China is most alarming to England and other powers desiring to see the continuance of peace. The rebellion against the Manchu dynasty, which, to use a Chinese expression has "lost its face," in its surrender to the foreigners. The native feeling has always been strong in southern China, but the Manchu are an agitating as intruders, and societies exist with the object of driving them from the throne. These societies are numerous and powerful and they are protected by an elaborate system of ceremony. Chinese Masonry by people who know nothing about Masonry.

Medical men say that a good nurse in a difficult case is better than medicine, but when we can get a good nurse and good medicine, the patient stands a much better chance of recovery. The few words of advice given below by nurse Eliza King, are well worthy the attention of all readers: "I have constantly used St. Jacobs Oil in the various situations I have occupied as nurse, and have invariably found it excellent in all cases requiring outward application, such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections, neuralgia, etc. in cases of pleurisy it is an excellent remedy—well rubbed in. I can strongly recommend it after several years' use and experience. It should be in every household." Sister CAROLINA, St. Andrew's Hospital, writes: "I have found St. Jacobs Oil a most efficacious remedy in gout; also in sprains and bruises.

G&J This have always been diversely known for their thick, durable and sturdy, to it is also its experiment with other BICYCLE TIRES G&J TIRES CO., LIMITED 123 WEST 12TH ST. Boston, MA 02116 --- The Promotion of the Admiral --- (Morley Roberts, In The Strand.) Continued from next. When the man woke, which he did after half an hour's shaking, administered in turns by three of the California's crew, who were anxious to know where he had stowed his bottle of water, he was still confused by the "dope" given him ashore. And then he rose and rested on his elbow. "Where am I?" "On board the California, to be sure." "I'm dreaming." said the admiral, "that's what it is. To be sure, I'm dreaming." The admiral sat up suddenly, and by no doing brought his head into violent contact with the deck above him. This woke him thoroughly just in time to receive Mr. Simpson, mate of to the California, like a cyclone inquired after health. "Did you ship as a dead man?" asked Mr. Simpson, "for if you did I undeceive you." And with that he yanked the admiral from his bunk and dragged him by the collar out upon the deck at a run. He rose at the end of his undignified progress and stared at the mate. "Who am I—oh, who am I. Well, I oblige you by statin' once for all that I'm mute of this ship, and you're my dog. Now, you lunatic, take this here ball of twine and go overhaul the gear on the main. And if you open your mouth to say another word I'll murder you." And though he could not believe he was doing it, Sir Richard Dunn carcass soft and did what he was told. He was stunned. "I—I must be mad," thought the admiral. "Now, then, look alive there, you dead crawling cat," said Mr. Simpson, "or I'll come up and boot you off the ya... Do you hear me?" "Yes, sir," said the admiral, meekly, and he murmured, "I suppose I never was an admiral after all; I don't seem to know what I am." And the hardest nut among the admirals of the active list wiped a tear with the sleeve of his coat and came down to the ground. When the crew were at breakfast next morning, trouble began. "Say, are you an admiral?" asked Knight, the biggest tough on board except Simpson and Wiggins. "Mind your own business," he said. And Knight hove a full pannikin of sea at him. This compulsion was received very quietly, and the admiral rose and went on deck. "I wish to have your permission to knock the head off a man called Knight, for'ard. He have a pannikin of tea over me just now, and I think a thrashing would do him good and conduce to the peace and order of the foe's clef." You think so?" said Simpson. "Very well, you have my permission to introduce peace there." "I thank you, sir," said the Admiral. He touched his hat and went forward. He put his head inside the foe's clef and addressed Knight: "Come outside, you bully, and let me knock your head off. Mr. Simpson has been kind enough to overlook the breach of discipline involved." And Knight, nothing乳, came out on deck, while Simpson and Wiggins stood a little way off to enjoy the battle. And in five minutes his mates carried Knight into the foe's clef. "I don't know when I enjoyed my self more," said Simpson, with a sigh. After that the Admiral had peace and learnt something every day, and not least from Knight, who proved by no means a bad sort of man when he had once met his match. The Admiral and Simpson never had a cross word till they were south of the Horn. Then by chance the mate and the captain had a few words which were the worst of it. As luck would have it the Admiral was the handiest to vent his spite on, and Simpson caught him a smack on the side of his head that made him see stars. And when the Admiral picked himself off the deck Simpson made a rush for him. The Admiral dodged him and shot up the poop-ladder. At any other time Blaker, the captain, would have gone for the seaman who dared to escape a thrashing for the moment by descrastinating the poop, but now he was willing to simpson. "Well, what do you want?" he reared. "Well, sir, I wanted to know whether Western Ocean custom comes here. I've been told that if I thrash your mate I shall have his job. They say forward that that's your rule, and if so, sir, I should like your permission to send Mr. Simpson forward and take his place. Blaker laughed. He went to the break of the poop and addressed the mate. "Do you hear, Mr. Simpson?" he inquired, gently. "Kick him off the poop, sir." "Are you willing to stake everything on your fightin' abilities, Mr. Simpson?" And when Simpson said "Aye" through his teeth, the Admiral jumped down on the main deck. Now, according to all precedents, the fight should have been long and arduous, with varying degrees of the admiral's never regarded precedents, of ten seconds Mr. Simpson was lying totally insensible under the spare topmast. To encounter the admiral's right fast was to escape death by a hair's breadth, and it took Charles Simpson, able seaman (vice Mr. Simpson, chief officer), two hours and a quarter to come. "And I don't he could sound," said the skipped skipper; "come right up. Mr. Simpson gasped. Mr. What's your-name, you're the man for me. There ain't no reason for you to trouble about my second mate, for Simpson could lay him out easy. All I ask of you is to work the whole crowd up good. And I don't care if you are an admiral, you are the right sort all the same. I guess that Simpson must have reckoned he struck a cyclone." And Blaker rubbed his hands. Like Simpson at the fight between the admiral and Knight, he did not know when he had enjoyed himself more. He improved the occasion by going below and getting far too much to drink, as was his custom, and the promoted man brought a chair of the desk. "Ability tells everywhere," said Sir Richard Dunn. "I didn't rise in the Richard Dunn. Ship me where you like, and I'll come to the top. If I didn't take this hooker into New York as captain and master I'll die in the attempt." He had quite come to himself, and was beginning to enjoy himself. His natural and acquired authority blossomed wonderfully when he took on the new job, and, as Blaker never swore, the admiral's gift of language was a great vicarious satisfaction to him. Wiggins accepted the situation without a murmur. Even Simpson himself bore no malice when his supplanter not only showed none, but after knocking the bo'sun head against a bollard gave his place to the former officer. He was a man of intellect and got the last ounce out of them, none of them were down on him. "I tell you he's an admiral," sure. "I tell you he's an admiral, sure," they said. "He's got all the ways of one, I own," said Bill, an old man-o-war's man. "I spoke to an admiral myself, once; or, rather, he spoke to me." "What did he say?" asked the rest of his watch. "He said," replied Bill, proudly, "he upped and said, 'You cross-eyed son of a dog, if you don't jump, I bash the ugly head of you.' And you bet I jumped. Oh, he's all the ways of some assistance, or none," said the rest of the crowd, "things goes on pleasanter than they done when you was mute, Simpson." And Simpson grunted. "And he gets more work out of us than you done, either, Simpson, for all yer hammerin' of us." "I'll likely be hammerin' some of you again shortly," said Simpson. And as he was cook of the walk in the foc'sle, whatever he was in the ship, the others dried up. Nothing of great interest happened till they were well east of the Horn and hauled up for the northward run. And then Blaker took to religion (or what he called religion) and rum in equally undiluted doses. "I'm a miserable sinner, I am." he said to the Admiral; "but, all the same, I'll do my duty to the crowd. I am accustomed to be arrested to for two hours. And when one man yawned he laid him out with a well-directed belaying-pin. The next day, when it breezed up heavily and they were shortening sail, he called all hands down from aloft, on the ground that their souls were of more importance than the work in hand. "Come down on deck, you miserable sinners," said Blaker, through a speaking-trumpet. His voice rose triumphantly above the roar of the gale. "Come down on deck and listen to me. For though I am a miserable sinner, too, there's some hopes for me, and for you there is none unless you mend your ways in accordance with what I tellin' you." Even with the speaking trumpet he could hardly make himself heard over the roar of the increasing gale and the thunderous slating of the turre topsails in the spilling lines. "Don't you think, sir, that they'd better make the topsails fast before you get the aquiline. 'No I don't.' replied Blaker, "not much, I don't by a jugful. For if one of 'em went overboard I'd be responsible before the Throne. And don't you forget it." "He's mad, said Sir Richard, 'mad as a March hare. She'll be shaking the sticks out of her soon." He leant over the break of the poop and called up Wiggins. "Mr. Wiggins, one word with you." Wiggins came up, as Blaker roared his head through the trumpet. "Will you stand by me, Mr. Wiggins, if I knock him down and take command?" "I will, but mind his gun," said Wiggins. "When he's very bad he'll shoot." It was not any fear of Blaker's six-shooter that made the Admiral hesitate. To take the command even from a madman at scis is a ticklish task, and may land a man in gaol for all his being a Shanghailed admiral. "I tell you, Mr. Wiggins, that Simpson is a good man. I'll bring him affronted. And Wiggins made no objection when Simpson was called up by the Admiral. "Mr. Simpson," said the mate, "this is getting past a joke. Have you any objection to taking on your old job if I secure this preaching madman and take command?" Simpson was "full up" of the *to e'sle*, and as he had a very wholesome admiration for the admiral he was by no means to return to his old quarters. "I'm with you, sir. In another quarter of an hour we shall have the sticks out of her." And still Blaker bellowed Scripture down the wind. He was still bellowing, though what he believed was not Scripture, when Simpson and Wigglus took him down below after five minutes of a row, in which the deposed captain showed something of his ancient form as the terror of the Western Ocean. As they went the admiral, now promoted to being captain of a Cape Horner, picked up the battered speaking trumpet and wiped some blood from his face which had been in collusion. topals fast," he roared. "Look alive, man look alive!" And they did look alive. For "Dickey Dunn" never needed a speaking-trumpet in any wind that ever blew. When things were snugged down and the California was walking north at ease, the gulf coast gave me to easy man again. He turned to Simpson and Wiggins with a happy smile. "Now we're comfortable, and things as they are should be, Mr. Simpson, let the men have a tot of grog. And how's Mr. Blaker?" "Waal," said Simpson, cheerfully, "when we left him he wasn't exactly what you would call religious nor resigned." If Blaker was not happy the Admiral was thoroughly delighted. "Now you see what I said was true," he declared at dinner that night. "If I hadn't been an admiral and a man born to rise, how could I have been shipped on board this ship as a foremast and come to be captain in six weeks? I be bound you never heard of a similar case, Mr. Simpson." "Was it Shanghai Smith, do you think, as put you here?" he asked. The admiral had never heard of Shanghai Smith. "When I get back I'll find out," he said. "And if it was I not trouble the law, Mr. Simpson. I never allow any man to handle me without getting more than even." "You don't," said Simpson. If his manner was dry it was sincere. "But I don't bear malice afterwards. Your health, Mr. Simpson. This kind of trade breeds good seamen after all. But you are all a trifle rough." Simpson explained that they had to be. "When the owner's scheme is to have one man do three men's work, they have to get men who will make 'em do it. And when the owners get a bad name, and their ships a worse, then men like 'shanghai Smith have to find us crews. If you could get back to Francisco and hammer an owner some of us would be obliged to you, str." "Ah! when I get back," said the Admiral. "This will be a remarkable yarn for me to tell, Mr. Simpson. still feel in a kind of dream. Would you oblige me by going to Mr. Blaker and telling him that if he continues to hammer at that door I'll have the hose turned on him." And when Simpson went to carry this message the Admiral put his feet on the table and indulged in a reverie. "I'll make a note about Shanghai Smith and settle with him in full. But I shall rise higher yet. I know it's in me, Steward!" "Yes, sir," said the steward. "I think I'll have some grog." He drank to the future of Admiral Sir Richard Dunn, master of the California. THE DEATH VALLEY BORAX Lucky Discovery Changed Lives of a Settler and His Wife. In 1880 Aaron Winters lived with his wife, Rosie, in a guknown as Ash Meadow, not far from the mouth of Death Valley. He was so fond of his wife that he would not allow her to be long absent from him, although their little hut on the side of the mountain was 100 mfs from the nearest neighbor, in a wild, rugged, forsaken country. He had a dry tramp camp along and spent the night at the Winters home. He told the hunter about the borax deposits of Nevada. When he went away Winters thought that he had seen deposits of the same kind on his explorations into Death Valley. Accordingly he and his wife went together to make the search, having previously provided themselves with certain test chemicals, which, when combined with borax and ignited, would produce a green flame. Having prepared the oil of the substance with he believed to be borax, his and wife waited for nightfall to make the test. How would it burn? For years they had lived like Plutes on the desert, entirely without luxuries and often wanting for the very necessities of life. Would the match change all that? Winters held the blaze to the substance with a trembling hand, then shouted at the top of his voice: "She burns green, Rosle! We're rich! We're rich!" They had found borax. The mine was sold for $20,000, and Winters took his Rosle to a ranch in Nevada—Chicago Tribune. Ancient London Church With a history reaching back to the days of Alfred the Great, a special interest attaches to the Church of St. Thomas, quaintly situated in a backwater of Regent street, and which is now celebrating its bicentennial. A site granted by Alfred's niece to St. Peter's church, Ghent, was in the reign of Henry V., in accordance with an act for the suppression of alien priories, settled upon the Carthusian Priory at Shene. In 1530 Henry VIII, appropriated it to the Crown. The next stage was reached in 1637, when Thomas Tensilion, afterward Ariadhishop of Canterbury, sold his old property, a wooden "oratory" and then in 1702, the present building At length the Charity Commissioners thought fit to upset the original scheme and with the funds of the trust built the Tensilion Schools in Leicester Square. Thanks to the present vicer, a freehold site has been purchased and parish buildings have been erected at a cost of about £,000, where the parochial work involved in caring for the three thousand people of the parish—most of them poor—can be carried on. The vestry has an interesting collection of portraits and prints of the interesting people connected with the church. Sir Isaac Newton, for instance, was a trustee. Here Canon Knox little served his curacy. The amount of money in circulation in the United States to-day is $2,250,256,250, or thereabouts. Share and share alike, with the greater capita.

When the admiral woke, which he did after half an hour's shaking, administered in turns by three of the California's crew, who were anxious to know where he had stowed his botte of rum, he was still confused by the "dope" given him ashore. And the man and rested on his elbow. "Where am I?" "On board the California, to be sure." "I'm dreaming," said the admiral, "that's what it is. To be sure, I'm dreaming." The admiral sat up suddenly, and by no doing brought his head into violent contact with the deck above him. This woke him thoroughly just in time to receive Mr. Simpson, mate of the California, who came in like a cyclone to retrieve after his heist to the table. "I did not take a dead man!" asked Mr. Simpson, "for if you did I undeceive you." Mr. What's-your-name, you are the man for me. There ain't no reason for you to trouble about my second mate, for Simpson could lay him out easy. All of you is of you to work the whole crowd up good. And I don't care if you are an admiral, you are the right sort all the same. I guess that Simpson have reckoned he struck a cyclone. And Blaker rubbed his hands. Like Simpson at the fight between the admiral and Knight, he did not know when he had enjoyed himself more. He improved the occasion by going low and getting far too much to drink as was his custom, and the promoted admiral took charge of the deck. "Ability tells everywhere," said Sir Richard Dunn. "I didn't rise in the service for nothing. Ship me up to the top if you didn't take this hooker into New York as captain and master I'll die in the attempt." And with that he yanked the admiral from his bunk and dragged him by the collar out upon the deck at a run. He rose at the end of his undignified progress and stared at the mate. "Who—who are you?" he said. Mr. Thompson guarded. "Who am I—oh, who am I, Well, I obligate you by statin' once for all that I'm mute of this ship, and you're my dog. Now, you lunatic, take this here ball of twine and go overhaul the gear on the main. And if you open your mouth to say another word I'll murder you. And though he could not believe he wawled aloft and did what he was told. He stunned. "I—I must be mad," thought the admiral. "Now, then, look alive there, you dead crawling cat," said Mr. Simpson, "or I'll come up and boot you off the ya... Do you hear me?" "Yes, sir," said the admiral, meekly. "Or I'll suppose. I never was an admiral after all; I don't seem to know what I am." And the hardest nut among the admirals of the active list wiped a tear with the sleeve of his coat and came down as he was bid. He were at breakfast next morning trouble began. "Say, are you an admiral?" asked Knight, the biggest tough on board except Simpson and Wiggins. "Mind your own business," he said. And Knight have a full pannikin of the admiral, the compliment was received very quietly, and the admiral rose and went on deck. "I wish to have your permission to knock the head off a man called Knight, for'ard. He have a pannikin of tea over me just now, and I think a thrashing would do him good and conduce to the peace and order of the foe'sle." You think so?" said Simpson. "Very well, you have my permission to introduce peace there." I thank you, sir," said the Admiral. He touched his hat and went forward. He put his head inside the foe'sle and addressed Knight: "Come outside, you bully, and let me knock your head off. Mr. Simpson has been kind enough to overlook the breach of discipline involved." And Knight, nothing came out on deck, while Simpson and Wigglins stood a little way off to enjoy the battle. And in five minutes his mates carried Knight into the foe'sle. "I don't know when I enjoyed myself more," said Simpson, with a sigh. After that the Admiral had peace and learnt something every day, and learned the right, who proved by no means a bad seaman when he had once met his match. The Admiral and Simpson never had a cross wound till they were south of the Horn. Then by chance the mate and the captain had a few words which ended in Simpson getting much the worst of it. As luck would have it the Admiral was the easiest to vent his spite on, and Simpson caught him a smack on the side of his head that made him see stars. And when the Admiral picked himself off the deck Simpson made a rush for him. The Admiral dodged him and shot up the poop-ladder. At any other time Blaker, the captain, would have gone for the seaman who dared to escape a ship's moment by deserciting the poop, but he was willing to annoy Simpson. "Well, what do you want?" he roared. "Well, sir, I wanted to know whether Western Ocean custom comes here. I've been told that if I thrash your mate I shall have his job. They say forward that that's your rule, and if so, sir, I should like your permission to send Mr. Simpson forward and take him. Capt Blaker laughed. He went to the break of the poop and addressed the mate. "Do you hear, Mr. Simpson?" he inquired, gently. "Send him down, sir," said Simpson. "Are you able you can pound him?" Simpson gritted his teeth and foamed at the mouth. "Kick him off the poop, sir." "Are you willing to stake everything on your fightin' abilities, Mr. Simpson." And when Simpson said "Aye" through his teeth, the Admiral jumped down on the main deck. Now, according to all precedents, the fight should have been long and arduous, with varying fortunes. But the admiral never regarded precedents, and inside of ten seconds Mr. Simpson was lying totally insensible under the spare topmast. To encounter the admiral's right fat was to escape death by a hair's breadth, and it took Charles Simpson, able saenian (vice Mr. Simpson, chief officer), two hours and a quarter to come to. "And I thou'k he could fight" said the admiral akibet; "more up right Mr. Simpson gasped. Mr. What's-your-name, you're the man for me. There ain't no reason for you to trouble about my second mate, for Simpson could lay him out easy. All I ask of you is to work the whole crowd up good. And I don't care if you are an admiral, you are the right sort all the same. I guess that Simpson must have reckoned he struck a cyclone." And Blaker rubbed his hands. Like Simpson at the fight between the admiral and Knight, he did not know when he had enjoyed himself more. He improved the occasion by going below and getting far too much to drink, as was his custom, and the promoted and charmed chapters of the attack. "Ability tells everywhere," said Sir Richard Dunn. "I didn't rise in the service for nothing. Ship me where you like, and I'll come to the top. If I didn't take this hooker into New York as captain and master I'll die in the attempt." He had quite come to himself, and was beginning to enjoy himself. His natural and acquired authority blossomed wonderfully when he took on the new job, and, as Blaker never swore, the admiral's gift of language was a great vicarious satisfaction to him. Wiggins accepted the situation without a murmur. Even Simpson swore, the mallie when his applauder not only showed none, but after knocking the bo'sun's head against a bollard gave his place to the former mate. Though he kept the men working, and got the last ounce out of them, none of them were down on him. "I tell you he's an admiral, sure," they said. "He's got all the ways of one, I own," said Bill, an old man-o'-war. man. "I spoke to an admiral myself, once; or, rather, he spoke to me." "What did he say?" asked the rest of him. "He said," replied Bill, proudly, "he upped and, You cross-eyed son of a dog, if you don't jump, I bash the ugly head of you!" And you bet I jumped. Oh, he's all the ways of admirals, he has!" "Well, admiral or none," said the rest of the crowd, "things goes on pleasanter than they done when you need them." Mr. Simpson grunted. And Simpson grunted. "And he gets more work out of us than you done, either, Simpson, for all yer hamernin' of us." "I'll likely be hamernin' some of you again shortly," said Simpson. And as he was cook of the walk in the to'e'st, whatever he was in the ship, the others dried up. Of great interest happened till they were well east of the Horn and hauled up for the northward run. And then Blaker took to religion (or what he called religion) and rum in equally undidated doses. "I'm a miserable sinner, I am." he said to the Admiral; "but, all the same, I do my duty to the crowd." He called them aft and preached to them for two hours. And when one man yawned he laid him out with a well-directed belaying pin. The next day he laid him up heavily and they were shortening sail, he called all hands down from aloft, on the ground that their souls were of more importance than the work in hand. "Come down on deck, you miserable sinners," said Blaker, through a speaking-trumpet. His voice rose triumphantly above the roar of the gale. "Come down on deck and listen to me. For me, you are the one who has there's some hopes for me, and for you there's none unless you mends your ways in accordance with what I'm tell'n you." Even with the speaking trumpet he could hardly make himself heard over the roar of the increasing gale and the thunderstorm shattering the turtle topps. "Don't you think, sir, that they'd better make the topsails fast before you speak to them?" said the Admiral. "No, I don't." replied Blaker, "not much, I don't by a jugful. For if one of 'em went overboard I'd be responsible before the Throne. And don't you forget it." "He's mad," said Sir Richard, "mad as a March hare. She'll be shaking the sticks out of her soon." He leant over the break of the poop and called up Wiggins. "Mr. Wiggins, one word with you." Wiggins came up, as Blaker roared his text through the trumpet. "Will you stand by me, Mr. Wiggins, if I knock him down and take command?" "I will, but mind his gun," said Wiggins. "When he's very bad he'll shoot." It was not any fear of Blaker's six-shooter that made the Admiral hesitate. To take the command even from a madman at sca is a telltish task, and making a mugger for all his being a Shanghaled admiral. "I tell you, Mr. Wiggins, that Simpson is a good man. I'll bring him up again." And Wiggins made no objection when Simpson was called up by the Admiral. "Mr. Simpson," said the mate, "this is getting past a joke. Have you any objection to taking on your old job If I secure this preaching madman and take command?" Simpson was "full up" of the fo'c's'e'le, and as he had a very wholesome admiration for the admiral he was by no means to return to his old quarters. "I'm with you, sir. In another quarter of an hour we shall have the sticks out of her." And still Blaker bellowed Scripture down the wind. He was still bellowing, though what he believed was not Scripture, when Simpson and Wiggins took him down below after five minutes of a row, in which the deposed captain showed something of his ancient form as the terror of the Western Ocean. As they went the admiral, now promoted to being captain of a Cape Horner, picked up the battered speaking trumpet and wiped some blood from his face which had been in collation. topasil fast," he roared. "Look alive, man look alive!" And they did look alive. For "Dickey Dunn" never needed a speaking-trumpet in any wind that ever blew. When things were snugged down and the California was walking north at an easy but treacherous gate be felt like a knife. He turned to Simpson and Wiggins with a happy smile. "Now we're comfortable, and things are as they should be, Mr. Simpson, let the men have a lot of grog. And how's Mr. Blaker?" "Waal," said Simpson, cheerfully, "when we left him he wasn't exactly what you would call religious nor resigned." If Blaker was not happy the Admiral was thoroughly delighted. "Now you see what I said was true," he declared at dinner that night. "If I hadn't been an admiral and a man born to rise, how could I have been shipped on board this ship as a foremast and come to be captain in six weeks? I'll be bound you never heard of a similar case, Mr. Simpson." "Was it Shanghai Smith, do you think, as put you here?" he asked. The admiral had never heard of Shanghai Smith. "When I get back I'll find out, he said. "And if it was I will not trouble the law, Mr. Simpson. I never allow any man to handle me without getting more than even." "You don't," said Simpson. If his manner was dry it was sincere. "But I don't bear malice afterwards. Your health, Mr. Simpson. This kind of trade breeds good seamen after all. But you are all a trifle rough." Simpson explained that they had to be. "When the owner's scheme is to have one man do three men's work, they have to get men who will make 'sm do it. And when the owners get a bad name, and their ships a worse, then men like Shanghai Smith have to find us crews. If you could get back to Francisco and hammer an owner of us would be obliged to you, sir." "Ah! when I get back," said the Admiral. "This will be a remarkable yarn for me to tell, Mr. Simpson. . . still feel in a kind of dream. Would you oblige me by going to Mr. Blaker and telling him that if he continues to hammer at that door I'll have the hose turned on him." And when Simpson went to carry this message the Admiral put his feet on the table and indulged in a reverie. "I'll make a note about Shanghai Smith and settle with him in full. But I shall rise higher yet. I know it's in me, Steward!" "Yes, sir," said the steward. "I think I'll have some grog." He drank to the future of Admiral Sir Richard Dunn, master of the California. THE DEATH VALLEY BORAX Lucky Discovery Changed Lives of a Settler and His Wife. In 1880 Aaron Winters lived with his wife, Rosie, in a guknown as Ash Meadows, not far from the mouth of Death Valley. He was so fond of his wife that he would not allow her to be long absent from him, although their little hut on the side of the mountain was 100 m³ from the nearest neighbor in a wild, rugged, forsaken landscape. One day a desert tramp came along and spent the night at the Winters home. He told the hunter about the borax deposits of Nevada. When he went away Winters thought that he had seen deposits of the same kind on his explorations into Death Valley. Accordingly he and his wife went together to make the search, having previously provided themselves with certain test chemicals, which, when combined with borax and ignited, would produce a green flame. Having provided the substance to the beloved to be borax, Winters and his wife waited for night-fall to make the test. How would it burn? For years they had lived like Plutes on the desert, entirely without luxuries and often wanting for the very necessities of life. Would the match change all that? Winters held the blaze to the substance with a trembling hand, then shouted at the top of his voice: "She burns green, Rosie! We're rich! We're rich!" They had found borax. The mine was sold for $20,000, and Winters took his Rosie to a ranch in Nevada.—Chicago Tribune. Ancient London Church. With a history reaching back to the days of Alfred the Great, a special interest attaches to the Church of St. Thomas, quantitatively situated in a backwater of Regent street, and which is now celebrating its bicentennial. A site granted by Alfred's niece to St. Peter's church, Ghent, was in the reign of Henry V., in accordance with an act for the suppression of alien priories, settled upon the Carthusian Priory at Shene. In 1530 Henry VIII, appropriated it to the Crown. The next stage was reached in 1637, when Thomas Tensison, afterward Archbishop of Canterbury, secured the old property and built, first a wooden "oratory," and then in 1702, the present building. At length, the Charity Commissioners thought it to upset the original scheme and with the funds of the trust built the Tensison Sculpture, the present house. Such a holdout site has been purchased and parish buildings have been erected at a cost of about £,000, where the parochial work involved in caring for the three thousand people of the parish—most of them poor—can be carried on. The vesty has an interesting collection of portraits and prints of the interesting people connected with the church. Sir Isaac Newton, for instance, was a trustee. Here Canon Knox Little served his curacy. The amount of money in circulation in the United States to-day is $2,250,262,300, or thereabouts. Share and share alike, this is $2,787 per capita. The problem with the enterprising man is to get as many per capita as he can. DAN GROSVENO D. H. RON. DAN. A. GROSVENOR, OF.THE FAROUS ORIO FAMILY.

Crockett's new book, "Love Della" will be published soon. It will be uniform in size with "An Englishwoman's Love Letters." Maurice Thompson's "Alice of Old Vienna" is to be published in great Britain as is also "The Story of Eva," the Chicago novel by Will Payne. Five persons are aware, even in England, that a privately printed collection of unpublished writings from the poet of Robert Louis Stevenson is about to be issued. In Dr. Minot J. Savage's new book, "The Pissing and the Permanent in Religion," the author tries to make clear the great positive elements of relation which cannot pass away. Henry James was recently told that Sarah Grand, the novelist, says she was 14 years old before she ever learned to read or write. "She hasn't learned to write even yet," he remarked. 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 written since July, 1899, when the last edition of his collected poems was published. 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 importance, 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 campaign chosen to illustrate it are chiefly taken from the Napoleonic wars and those of recent times. At the end of the book a chapter has been added on the effect of modern weapons upon tactics. AN OLD DOCTOR'S TIP. A Simple Rule That Helps Him to Acquire a Lacrimal Practice. A physician of long standing in this city who has a practice that any of his colleagues might envy—and, many in all probability do—recently gave this advice to a young doctor who was just starting out in his profession. The older man is a type of the kind of doctor that is said to be going out of style—the family physician. Whether he is destined to disappear or not, this kind of a physician followed a highly profitable kind of career while it lasted. Many young men used to regard this sort of practice as that to which they all applied. THE FAIR 504.506.508 EAST LOCUST ST To-Day, To-Morrow and To-Morrow Evening.
