INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT During the recent general election there seemed to be an independent movement or revolt from the Republican party in the middle west and north-west by the colored voter. To illustrate this: In St. Joseph, Mo., the colored people put up a full county ticket and called it the Abe Lincoln ticket, which was supported by the only colored paper in St. Joseph, "The Spectator." In St. Louis the oldest and best colored journal there "The St. Louis Eagle" openly worked and advocated the election of the Democratic ticket. In Chicago there were three colored men running on the Independent ticket. In Denver, Col., one of the leading colored journals supported the Democratic party, while in San Francisco, Cal., a colored man wae nominated and run on the Socialist ticket for Congress. What does this independent idea mean? Does it mean that the colored voter is tired of the Re- THE NEW YORK TIMES M. H. H. J. FRANK BLAGBURN. The rumor of last week about J.

We rather think that the true principles of the republican party originally is disregarded and many bad selfish, mean prejudiced men are at the head of the party control, and those men disregard the colored voter in the distribution of their offices, or the employment of colored men to work. They think they are "alright." While they may be right today, but indications are that they may not remain alright unless looked after. The colored voter is beginning to think and investigate for himself, and all that he demands is fair treatment. REMOVED FOR ACTS AGAINST NEGROES Alabama Revenue Collector Bingham Ousted by the President. MENT FOR REBUKE. Exclusion of Colored Men from the Exclusion of Colored Men from the Convention Not Favored. (Special Dispatch to the Inter ocean) Washington, D. C., Nov. 10.—The President has removed from his office Julian H. Bingham, collector of internal revenue for the District of Alabama, and has appointed Joseph O. Thompson to succeed him. The change was made as a result of a political condition which recently arose in Alabama. Colored Republicans were excluded from participating in the Republican state convention and Collector Bingham was held responsible, at least in a measure, for their exclusion. --- Postmaster General payne visited the White House today and as he left the executive offices made public the following statement defining the reasons for the change: "The change in the office of collector of internal revenue for the District of Alabama nowise reflects upon the integrity or ability of Mr. Bingham, the incumbent of the office. It is one of those things which occasionally happens in politics. PRINCIPLE IS WRONG. "The position taken by the Republicans of Alabama at their recent state convention, as understood by the Republicans of the North, is looked upon as a perversion of the foundational principles of the Republican party, and Mr. Bingham is, in a measure, held responsible for that action, hence the change. "Neither the administration nor the Republican party of the North will stand for the exclusion of any section of our people by reason of their race or color, when, in other respects, such persons have complied with the laws 1910 J.

P. the position pays at the beginning will leave in a few days for and are eligiable under the law to full and free participation in political action, and are of a high standard of personal character. "In other words, there are now a hundred colored men in Alabama who came up to the requirements of the recently adopted state constitution and are eligible for participation in political affairs, and the action of the Republican state convention referred to in arbitrarily excluding them is not approved, no more than than such action would be approved if it were taken in Ohio or Indiana. Mr. Thompson, the appointee, is a brother of Representative Thompson of Alabama. He is a Republican, although his brother represents a Democratic district. The President has appointed John S. Webb postmaster at Tuskegee, Ala., vice Joseph O. Thompson, appointed collector of internal revenue. The BYSTANDER commends the President's manly stand for right and justice. If more leaders of the Republican party would recognize and adhere to those sacred and eternal principals for which the Republican party was born to foster, we as a race would be delt with as citizens, free men like any other class of the American citizen. That is all we ask and will be satisfied with nothing less. All credit to President Roosevelt, Postmaster General Payne 'and R. P. Clarkson. Copper Bull Mining Co. Capital Stock of $3,000,000.

Princeton, Oct. 25.—This has been a red letter day in the history of Princeton University. Dr. Woodrow Wilson was to-day inaugurated as President of the institution, succeeding Dr. F. L. Patton, who has served for so long a period of time. Many distinguished educators and men of affairs have been present today, chiefest among them in importance being former President Grover Cleveland, Dr. Henry Van Dyke, Dr. William T. Harris, Director of the Department of Education, Washington; President C. C. Harris of the University of Pennsylvania; President Hadley of Vale University; President Butler of Columbia University; former Speaker Thomas B. Reed. President Harper of the University of Chicago; Hon. Robert T. Lincoln; Dr. Edmund Clarence Stedman; Dr. S. L. Clemens (Mark Twain); Dr. Bliss Taylor, editor of the Atlantic Monthly; Mr. Walter H. Page, editor of the World's Work, besides hundreds of others representative of America's foremost academic life. All who took part in the parade wore academic gowns with hoods lined with the colors of the universities from which they had graduated and from which degrees had been received. Canspiecious among these representatives as foremost American thought was Dr. Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute, the only representative of the race present in the parade. Dr. Washington wore a hood lined with the crimson of Harvard from which he received the degree of Master of Arts, and the green of Dartmouth College from which the degree of Doctor of Laws was received by him. A pleasant incident, and one which attracted much attention as the procession proceeded to Alexander Mall where the ceremonies were held, was the recognition given Dr. Washington by Mrs. Grover Cleveland. She called Mr. Washington from the parade as he passed along and very heartily shook hands with him, expressing her pleasure at the opportunity of meeting him. No visitor to the exercises attracted more attention than Dr. Washington. Most of the distinguished guests were honored with invitations to lunch by members of the faculty and wealthy residents of Princeton. Dr. Washington was invited by Mr. and Mrs. Marquand, donors of the magnificent Marquand Chapel at Princeton, to have luncheon with them. At this luncheon many of the notable guests named above were present. Just before leaving the university campus, Dr. Washington was notified of his election as a member of the American Whig Society, the oldest of Princeton's societies, and was requested to return at the first convenient period for initiation. FAREWELL TO ROB SPENCE. Not in the history of the Republican party of Iowa has there been a more narrow color blinded man at the head of our party, chairman Rob Spenc of Mt. Ayr has been, for during the past two years that he has managed the Republican party of Iowa, he has not this year had a colored Republican rally, nor employed a single colored speaker in Iowa, neither did he even employ a single race representative on his large number of clerks in the headquarters. We know that Mr. Spence's career is ended here and hope that if he has political ambition he will have to account for those impartial treatments. Au revoir.

Writer in the Coomopolitan Gives Some Good Advice. My young friend, Jimmy Banks, was married a little over a year ago. He had previously spent twelve months in the most furious courtship. The girl at first had not cottoned to Jimmy very much, but he moved heaven and earth so vigorously that she at last consented. Now, the other day who appears before me but Jimmy, who very much, has moved, plaint that the baby keeps him awake nights. "Good gracious, Jimmy!" said, "didn't you know that babies all way do that? A baby has to have some relaxation. Go home and be thankful that it isn't twins." There is the reverse side to every joy. You can't have the advantages of back-hood and married life at the same time. You buy everything with a price—leisure, family, office, learning, wealth, fame, position. Nothing you pay you want the article, pay the current price and enjoy your possession—Cosmopolitan. COULD NOT USE SIDE SADDLE. Old-Fashioned Woman Turned Down by Livery Keeper. "It is hard these days," says a popular actress, "to be an old-fashioned woman even with the best intentions. I was resting at a rather fashionable little place not long ago and wanted to get some horseback exercise, of which I am very fond. So I want to a pretentious looking livery stable and applied for a horse. The proprietor inquired how I intended to ride. "As a woman should ride a horse, with a side saddle, of course," I answered. Then you can have no horse of ours"; we would ride. A side saddle unites the best of horses to the horse; it's an invention of the devil and as injurious to the woman as it is to the horse." All my wiles were powerless to overcome the horse owner's objections and I was forced to forego equestrian pleasure." Miceher Female Politician. to ex-correspondent Hawley of Texas, is crediting the cleverest, female politician ever in ington. She is conversant with every county in Texas, knows every man of prominence in the state and attends to nearly all details of federal patron- age there. It is related of her that she once went to see a cabinet officer in regard to a place for a Texas con- stituent. The official was not disposed to give the place to her applicant, but in a pleasant and courteous manner am I sorry to disappoint you after looking at such pretty brown eyes." "It is going to then was the quick answer," that he ought to have it." The cabinet officer was so pleased with the retort that he made the appointment.

SENSATIONS IN LEVICH TRIAL Attorney McHenry Blume City Administration and Gambia for Flakelstein's Murder and Says Lerch Was Selected as a Victim. Des Moines, Nov. 14.—Either a gigantic conspiracy has been formed by the city authorities to railroad Harris Levich to the penitentiary for a crime which he is not guilty, or else the circumstantial evidence against Levich is much stronger than has been the popular supposition. This was the impression left after the first day's testimony of the most wholesale character has been carried on or else Harris Levich has told stories of his whereabouts on the night of August 5 which he was accused of for him by his attorney in his opening statement. Five witnesses yesterday, four of them members of the police department and one of the fire departmentment, sore point blank to threats and criminal accusations which Levich's attorney denies. The defendant's attorney threw down the ganklet in his opening address, and charged the police department with having protected the ganklet during the alteration and of having selected Harris Levinica to be the victim of a conspiracy to escape responsibility for the Finkelstein murder. Mr. McHenry mentioned Mayor Breston by name, and asked him to explain why he knew who committed the murder, declared that the police department did not dare pursue an investigation in the right quarter for fear of the police department. The speech of Walter McHenry created a surprise through certain admissions contained in it. He did not claim that Levinica went directly to his home, but admitted that he had his own car and drove to the west side. The state is attempting to show that Levinica went to the Whitechapel district and met Walker; the defense says he used Levinica's pawnbash on West Walnut, not finding him there went home. Mr. McHenry also created a sur- vival room where he had borrowed a revolver the evening of the tragedy. He explained it by saying that he was a watchman in one of his houses. CHURCH TO FIGHT LIQUOR. New Denomination to be Started in Creston Creaton, Nov. 13.—A movement has been suggested here in this city by one of the ministers and plans, it is understood, to that effect are being made to establish a church unlike in one respect at least, to any now in existence. John A. Earl, of Waterloo, the detested prohibition candidate for congress from the Third district, has had in mind the establishment of a church similar to the one the Creaton divine contemplates, viz: one of the conditions of membership must be hostile to the liquor traffic, but as yet Mr. Earl's plans have not been consummated. It is now proposed to institute a series o degrees in the church, somewhat after the manner of the Masonic order, to be the stead of thirty-five degrees. They are to be as follows: First—Christian profession. Second—Church membership. Third—Good standing and activity. Fourth—Systematic and proportionate living. Fifth-Complete abolition of the liquor traffic and all narcotics. Each local church may define these degrees and outline methods of promotion in the church as a systematic form. Figures denoting these degrees may be worn and a list of members in each degree actually kept. W. weneen promotion is to be done with an impressive service. The first four degrees, so it is claimed by the originator of the plan, will prove the pentacost to any church, will reformation in civic righteousness for which the Christian world has been praying through the years. OIL PEOPLE COMPROMISE. Pay Nearly $15,000 to the Nashua Party.

Several weeks ago three fatal accidents using of kerosene oil mixed with gasoline. Most of the merchants of this city buy their oil of the standard Oil Company. Prior to the accident the tank was filled with liquid filling the supply tank at Charles City and about 1,400 gallons of gasoline were poured into it.

There was no ob- jection to the change of defense the defense to Madison county. The change is granted on the ground of influence prejudice in Warren county against the defendant. The granting of the change is re- sulted in a defense and renders it likely that a different verdict will be secured at the next time. Mrs. Hossack Wants Change. Indiana, Nov. 8.—A motion has been filed in the case of Mrs. Hossack, under life sentence for murder, ask- ing a change of venue to some other county. If Judge Gamble grants the change it is likely the case will go to either Madison or Marion county and will be tried there in January. Mrs. Hossack is living with her husband, Mrs. E. M. Henry, in the city where she greatly improved in health and was treated from the good health. THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION Governor Calls Upon People to Res Blessings of Hope member Bleeding of Year. Des Moines, Nov. 10. The annual Thanksgiving proclamation issued by Governor Cummins is as follows: By the Governor: The long-continued PROCLAMATION. The long-continued and faithful observance of Thanksgiving day by the people of the United States marks at once our recognition of the hand of God in the affairs of men, and the recognition of our providence, which have never failed, and which grow richer as time passes on. The year just gone has been one which stirs the profoundest depths of Christian patriotism. It has been a year in which the honor of fundamental growth and unzamzed prosperity, and of health, content and happiness. It has been a year in which farms have been fruitful, business profitable, and been efficiently employed and generously rewarded. It has been a year in which, if the moral forces of society have increased their power, and all the material elements of industrial society have been their strength. Passing for a moment to reflection at the high point we have attained and comparing the past with the present, it is difficult to conceive conditions more gratifying than the conditions around the citizens of this commonwealth. Moved by these, and many other manifest reasons, and in accordance with the usual custom as beautiful in its origin as it is beneficial in its result, and acting in conjunction with the other members of the state, Albert B. Cummins, governor of the State of Iowa, do hereby appoint Thursday, the 27th day of November, instant, as a day of praise and thanksgiving, recommend that during the whole of that day the people suspend, in so far as practicable, their usuravations, and devote themselves to such services as will most fittingly express their attitude and appreciation of the fortunate circumstances under which they live. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state of Iowa. Done at Des Moines, this 8th day of November, A. D. 1902. Albert B. Cummins. B. November 18, 1903. TATE WINS FIRST ROUND. Counter Claim of the Clarkson is Thrown Out Des Moines, Nov. 12—County Clerk J. C. Tate has won the first round in his legal fight against R. P. Clarkson, formerly editor of the Iowa State Register. Judge McHenry sustained a motion to strike that portion of Clarkson's amended and substituted answer in which he asked, in cross petition, $25,000 damages alleged to have been sustained by reason of certain speeches made by Prouty, Cyrshire and others during the campaign. The plaintiff is affected on Captain Hull and his supporters. The court also made three important rulings favorable to the plaintiff as follows: The plaintiff's parte affidavit is not a privileged publication even though it is filed in court, unless pertinent to some judicial rule. Second—That a libel of a whole child, no individual being mentioned, does not right of action to the one individual. Third—That a publication is not privileged because the publisher believes it to be true, or because it has been published there prior to the time he publishes it. The above are the three points the plaintiff asked to have stricken from the defendant's amendment and substituted answer including the motion to strike the cross petition in which the defendant asked the sum of $25,000. FIFTEEN INEBRIATES ESCAPED. Veritable Hegira of Dipsomaniacs From Mt. Pleasant Des Moines, Nov. 12—Dr. C. F. Applegate of Mt. Pleasant hospital has submitted to Governor Cummins a list of the fifteen inebriates that have escaped from the hospital since July 15. Dr. Applegate says he has notified the clerks of the counties in every instance, and urged that they order the sheriff to arrest the patient and return him to the county county clerk and sheriff have been negligent, and have returned but two escaped patients. The doctor's letter sheds some interesting light on the situation at the hospital, where the patient has to run a hospital and a penitentiary, too, for in some instances men committed to the institution would not remain here under any circumstances unless put in barred rooms, and such patients, he says, want all the liberty on the grounds, and when allowed it, frequently escape. Governor Cummins will take prompt measures to have escaped inebriates to the hospital, and says he will authorize scrieres to make arrests and returns of escaped parties. BURNED TO DEATH. Lost Life in the Flames of His Humble Cottage. Chariton, Nov. 12—Thomas Baxter, aged 80, burned to death in his little three room house in the west part of town. The alarm was turned in and the volunteer company at once responded, but the building could not be saved. Baxter was inside the room, but lost it. It was not known at first that the old man was in the building, but it was suspected, and investigation soon after confirmed the possibility. The house, however, that when help arrived it was impossible to save any of the contents. When the body was found it was within the head and the rumor was immediately started that Baxter had been murdered for his money and the fire started to conceal the crime. Later it was found that Baxter's savings were in the financial bank, and the suspicion of murder has died down. Accidentally Shot. Cedar Rapids, Nov. 11—Frank Kelka of this city, while hunting squirrels near Montesquia Sunday afternoon, stood between his companion and a squirrel and was shot through the spine of the animal, the spinal column and partially paralyzing him. He is not expected to recover. Nine Court House for Winneshiek, Decorah, Nov. 12—Winneshiek county is to have a new court house. At the election last week the question of tearing down the old building, 79,200 is bound to pay for it was begun upon behalf by the veterans It would be a useless waste of energy and a needless tax on patience for me to relate in detail the manner in which we passed the days immediately following the disappearance of Maligni and Nita Barliotti. But the skill of the pursued was greater than the skill of the pursued. Dambo and Tortoni were gone—evaporated—vanished—as completely as though they had never existed in New York at all. We communicated freely and constantly with other cities, and did every thing that could be done to prevent their departure from the United States without detection. One day, two weeks after Maligni had disappeared, I, nervous and fretful, sat in the office of the Board of Park Commissioners, of which Major Simmons was now president, pouring out to him my bitterness of spirit over the failure to trace Maligni. While I was there, a heavy footstep was heard outside, and both looked up at me. The door opened and the lion-tamer entered. It was at once evident from the expression of his face that he had learned something. "Well, lion-tamer," said the major, "what is new to-day?" "The hut is ended, so far as this continent is concerned," was the reply of Maubluckeck, as he quietly sat down near us. "Ended!" I exclaimed, excitedly. "Have you found them?" "No. But I have traced them," he said, with a grim sort of satisfaction. "Malignl and Nita are on board to steer the ship, which sailed from this port three days ago. Of course, they are en route to Italy, or, more particularly speaking, to the island of Sardina, where Malignl intends to make Nita his wife. "I have just left police headquarters," the lion-tamer went on. "The superintendent was about to send for you and me when I arrived there. The police explain their failure to find Maligni while he was in New York by saying that he was aided by his fellow-countrymen here to outwit all pursuers. Even when he said he did so under the name of Lulgi Barioli. The record of passengers, so the superintendent says, shows the names Lulgi Barioli and his daughter, Signorina Barioli, and Mariana, the attendant of the signorina. From various descriptions gathered by the police, Signorina Barioli, and Mariana, they concluded at once that they were the persons sought. And I am inclined to agree with them." "True enough." I said. "The search is ended. Now the chase begins. Of course you will follow them." "Mr. Wilberton," said Maublacke, extending his right arm, as long as there is one drop of blood flowing through my veins, it flows for Nita Bartoli. There is an arm that has before been raised in her behalf, and which will be again, and there is another like it, equally quick to strike; and these two arms, working together, will tear limb from limb that man who injures Nita Bartoli, or marries her against her will, be he in America, Italy, or at the corners of the earth. I shall follow." "Good!" I said. "We can get away at once. When shall we call!" Maublacke looked at me in surprise. The majestic heels heed the chair around and moved me. "We! We!" he ejaculated. "Are you going to italy?" "I am going wherever Maligni goes," I replied. "He has something that I want as much as Maublacke wants Nita. The red box. We will go together, lion-tamer, and hunt the scourdrel down." "Think well over this, Mr. Wilberton," said Maublucke, "before you decide finally to go. Hunting a man in Sardinia, where Maligni is certainly going, is very different form hunting him in New York, where you have the assistance of a great police force. There are dangers to be met with there that cannot be imagined. Once you know can kill the who follows him, and will not suffer for the crime. If anything happens to me, you would be at the mercy of the most dangerous lot of brigands in the world." I laughed at this. "Brigands there may be, Maubluck, but all Sardinia is not given over to the industry of brigandage. I am determined to follow Maligni and obtain that red box, or wring from him the secrets it contained when he got it" "I then I will say no more," and the non-tamer. "If you insist upon going, then go with me. I thought only of your own safety. Personally, I shall be glad to have you for a companion." So it was settled, and, after a little more talk, the lion-tamer and I started uptown. It was with a feverish haste and impatience that I made my final arrangements to leave New York. Our program was laid down by Maublkeck, who naturally assumed the leadership of our expedition. And, as he had said in the presence of the major and once since, that he knew something of Sardinia, the place of leader seemed rightfully to belong to us. Of course the purpose of our journey was known to no one but the major, Maublkeck, Dilkins and myself. And even Dilkins had not been let into the full significance of my share in the hunt, for his tongue could not be trusted. When the hour of departure had come, Major Simmons and Dilkins were at the harbour to bid us aden. It would be foolish for me to say that I was perfectly calm at the moment of leaving. At that moment I began to feel some misgivings as to the wisdom of my resolve, and almost wished that I had not engaged passage. This feeling, as well as but momentary, I shook it off as unworthy of me, and resolutely set my face to the future and gave no sign to my friends that I had weakened even for the moment. Maukiblock was like a man of iron. His countenance was immobile, and the keen, stern eye and set jaw boded ill for the enamy who fell within the range of his giant arms. At last the bell rang, and the fognorm voice of a gold-bladed officer ordered all hands not, going to see the enemy, and not minding his hands with us once more, and I felt a pressure in the major's grip that was warmer than usual. With this last grasp they hustled over the gang-plank and stood on the wharf shouting their farewells at us, while the Queen slowly swung off and her screaming tug churned the water into foam. When we had passed through the channel, the tug had been released, the place tugged to the swiftly gliding boat that bore a number on her sail, and the Queen was plowing along, concretely churning headway throughout the thoroughly motion of our first ocean voyage, and the exhilarating effect of the salt air made me feel like a new man. Our first day out passed without event. And in the evening we sat on deck and smoked, Maublacke near me, lying back in a deck chair, his eyes fixed on the stars that shone brightly above us, his face unchangeable, his jaw set, his whole appearance being that of a mysterious man of nowhere, everywhere, and particularly here. I sat and watched him, furtively at first, and then, seeing that he was paying attention, he turned in my scrutiny must have touched him, or an electric current from my brain to his must have brought a response, for as we were separating for the night he turned to me and said: "Mr. Wilberton, you perhaps think I am a strange and uncommunicative man, and so I am, compelled, as I have been, by circumstances to withhold from persons I cannot trust all information concerning myself. But it is due to you, who have thrown your fortunes in with mine in this pursuit of Maligni and the girl I love, that I make you acquainted with me—not as I seem, but as I am. But my story is long, and I will not weary you with it now. To-morrow I will tell you who and what I am." "I do not seek your confidence, Maublack," I answered. "If there is anything your life that you wish to conceal, that your business must have. Had I for one moment doubted your honor as a man I would not have accompanied you. On the other hand, if there is anything you wish to tell me, I shall be glad to listen." "Thank you," he said simply. "Tomorrow I will tell you the story of my life." Then bidding me good-night, he went to his stateroom, and soon after I left the deck and retired to my own. CHAPTER V. During the night the wind gathered force and the Queen pitched and rolled with the waves beating against her bows. The result to me was inevitable. I was as seasick as mortal man had ever been. My illness effectually drove from Mauklecke's mind and my own all thoughts of the confidences he had proposed to unfold to me on that day. In fact, about the only thing that could have pleased that would have been pleasing to me was the promise that I would speedily die and end it all. But this the ship's physician refused to give. So two days and part of the third passed, and I was still unable to leave my burth. In the evening of the third day of my illness the lion-tamer sat near me, looking over some papers I had brought from New York. Now and now I would glance at me. If I was in need of his attention. The worst of my illness was over, but I was very weak. "Maubluckeck," I said, almost smiling at the weakness of my own voice, "why do you sit in this close stateroom? You have been wonderfully good and kind to me. I can never forget you and you need not trouble you as any more. Go on deck and get a whiff of fresh air." Maublkeck smiled "The air to be had on deck," he said, "is not so invigorating as you think. There is a dense fog. We are creeping along, barely keeping headway. Nothing can be seen. It is a damp, chilly evening, the sea is running high, and atogether it is uninviting on deck. I will sit here awhile and then go to bed." He resumed his reading, and I lay still, listening and thinking. Suddenly there was a shock and crash, a cry of horror, a shout of anger, and the船 seemed to be driven by some tremendous force, and shivered and trembled, like a frightened maulbuck leaped to his feet. "There has been a collision!" he said, "Stay where you are, Wilberton. I will come back." He rushed from the stateroom, and I fell to wondering what the result of this new horror would be. I was so weak that I did not fully realize my own position. It is true, I felt and knew the danger. But my senses were so benumbed by my illness and this new shock that at first I was almost indifferent to my own fate. But the sounds of excitement had their effect on me, and I was soon groping for my clothes and struggling to get them on before joining the trample mob on deck. I succeeded in getting myself clad, as regards shirt and trousers. At this point I became panic-stricken, and feeling that I was surely doomed if the ship sank, I breathed a prayer and Edith's name at the same time and sank on the floor. Just then the door of my stateroom was flung open and Mabuhkeck appeared. He picked me up from the floor, wrapped my overcoat around me, and taking me in his arms as if I was a child, he hurried out and up the companionway onto the deck. Here was a scene of almost indescribable confusion. The lights on the deck glimmered but dimly through the fog, and the whole scene was enveloped in blackness. Yet I could distinguish the faces of the shrugging mildly to the floor, curing, shrugging and crying, having no aim except to save themselves, regardless of the fate of others. But how grandly different was the ilon-tamer! With me in his arms, he sped over the slippery upkill deck to a place at the rail where a boat was being lowered. I saw the forms of women in it, and realised that the Queen's officers had insisted upon the rule at sea of saving the women first. Maubieck was about to toast the women with "Stand back here!" some one shouted. "There's room for only one more in here!" "You go!!" said. "Nita needs you." "Keep still!" she said saintly, and as calmly as if nothing stood in the way of our safety. Callir; to the officer in charge of the boat, the lontamer tamed; "Here! If there is room for one more, take him. This is Mr. Wilberton of the Lotus Club, New York. He is ill. Do your best for him." I felt myself taken by other hands, and gasped out a word of gratitude to my preserver. "Listen!" he said. "If you are saved and I am not, save Nita from Maligni." "I will save her at any cost," I answered, at the same time thinking that my promise amounted to little, so weak was I, and so poor a stick in this emergency. But there was no time for further words. The boat that I was in plunged out into the darkness, and all I could see was the great black hull looming up in the fog, her bows now almost under water, and through the thick, black night came the agonized cries of those who had been left behind. And as I looked at the hull of Maukbeck. That noble, stalwart hero, standing there—I could almost see him, so clear was it in my mind—peering out into the darkness to watch if possible the progress of our boat, and not a murmur nor a sound of fear over his own probable fate. Other boats had been put off, and the hope of those in our boat was that their loved ones might be in one of the other boats, and might, therefore, be rescued by some passive vessel. It was unanimously agreed that for those who remained on board the Queen we had no hope. All night we were buffeted by the waves and chilled by the damp, cold air that swept around us, and from which we had no protection. That night seemed interminable. If time could be measured by misery, it was nigh unto eternity before the morning broke. The sailors were weary and nearly exhausted by their labors at the oars. The murmuring and sobbing of the women had given way to a condition that, even a severe misery ends sometimes without being relieved by the great Destroyer. (To be continued.) IT'S ALWAYS THIS WAY. Topeka Capital Telle of Tendency of Modern Citizen Yesterday a man called at the Capital office with a grievance which he wanted the paper to take up. He wished the Capital to go into the matter and smash things generally. He wasn't satisfied with a certain state of things in a certain neighborhood, and he wanted the Capital to start something, and start it good and hard. But the funny part of the matter was that when he was asked to give his initials to the Capital, he wanted his name used, and refused to give his initials after he inadvertently let his last name be known. It was explained to him that what he knew of the matter, which is a common offense—and has no relation to the liquor trouble—would be of service in abating the nuisance; but he said that he "didn't wish to be dragged into it," and that if it was such a common thing perhaps it wouldn't be worth while to go to the trouble of stirring it up, after all. It always was the case. People are always called to take up abuse and push for their relief, but they balk when asked to take an open hand in the game themselves. From past experience the Capita feels sure that it would be impossible to gain anything for the public by taking the action suggested by the gentleman who called yesterday.—Topeka Capital. Increase in Cremation. Cremation is one of the oldest forms of disposal of the dead, yet it is a form that lapsed from use for centuries. It appears to be in process of restoration. True, it has made but little head against the custom of burial, yet there is an increase every year in such proportion that we may look for a wide adoption of it within the next quarter century. There are cremations of human remains, cremations, yet this is against the eighteen years ago, and the number of cremations is 2,500 or more a year. When statistics were first collected on the subject, eighteen years ago the annual cremations numbered sixteen. It is because they are common and have so ceased to be an occasion of comment that an impression may have been created which is contrary to this fact of growth, but the truth that about 40,000 cremations occurred in the United States, which added to the large number in Europe certainly indicates an increase. The Proboscis Monkey A monkey with a nose that was made some progress on the road to becoming a trunk is a decided curiosity. On that account the new Ape House at the Zoological Gardens will probably have plenty of visitors for some time to come, in order to see the young specimen of the proboscis monkey—the first of its kind brought alive to England. In that, however, the nose is far from having attained the size which comes only with mature age. These animals are found only in Borneo, always frequenting the tree tops of the rainforest. They are also migrate in small groups or family parties. The general coloration is red-dish-brown above and white beneath; in young animals there is more red on the forequarters and the face is blackish. Horndaay, the well-known collector, said that if the proboscis monkey were not eclipsed by the orang it would be the most famous quadrumn of the East Indies. The average man is kept so busy criticizing the faults of his neighbors that he has no time to correct his own. ALMOST MIRACLE Case No. 49,763.

Some weeks ago Dr. G—, a very reputable and widely-known physician, living on C— Street, was called to attend a very complicated case of Rheumatism. Upon arriving at the house he found a man about forty years of age, with a severe condition, with his whole frame dangerously affected with the painful disease. He requested for the patient, but the man continued to grow worse, and on Sunday evening he was found to be in a very alarming condition. The knees and elbows and larger joints were greatly inflamed, and could not be moved. It was only with extreme difficulty that the patient was able to walk of three or four persons. The weight of the clothing was so painful that means had to be adopted to keep it from the patient's body. The doctor saw that his assistance would be of no avail, and left the house, the members of the family following him to the door, weeping. Almost immediately the grief stricken ones were addressed and humbled, and heard of the despair of the family, and now asked them to try his remedy, and accordingly brought forth a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. The poor wife applied this remedy. The first application caused the patient very much; after a few hours they used it again, and, wonder of wonder, the patient was sent another application improved the patient, and in two days he was well and out. When the doctor called a few days after, he was indeed surprised. "I wouldn't care if that poet would bring in a hundred poems a day," said the country editor. "He knows how to write 'am, don't he?' asked the office bottle author, "their songs in written on shiners."

THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoyment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians-would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effect, is—Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and genius. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination or the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable drummers at fifty cents per bottle. **GRETTS NEW LAUDYBOW SOAP** Washed clothes without rubbing and is guaranteed not to injure the most fabrics.

Green County's Sensation. Catskill, N. Y., November 10th.—Ulster and Greene counties are ringing with the news of the wonderful recovery of George F. Ayers, who lives at 16 Division street, in this city. One year ago Mr. Ayers was suffering from Bright's Disease of the Kidneys, and the doctors gave him little relief and less hope. To day Mr. Ayers is as well as many old wish. He tells the folly story: "About a year ago I was at West Camp, sick with Bright's Disease and without hope of ever being better, when an old gentleman from Bath, N. Y., advised me to take Dodd's Kidney Pills, telling me they had cured him of the same disease. "I had tried so many remedies that I was past hoping and told him so, but when he bought me a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills and coaxed me to try them I did so just to humor his life." "That was the means of saving my life. I took that box and half a dozen more. Thanks to that old man and Dodd's Kidney Pills, I am cured." In justice and love go hand in hand. It is a case of blind leading the blind. Tired Nervous Mother A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysteria, is unfit to care for children; it ruins a child's disposition and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weakness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that governing a child involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and shattered nerves caused by a derangement of the uterine system with backache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge of nervous prostration. When a mother finds that she cannot be calm and quiet with her children, she may be sure that her condition needs attention, and she can not do better than to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This medicine will build up her system, strengthen her nerves, and enable her to calmly handle a disobedient child without a scene. The children will soon realize the difference, and seeing their mother quiet, will themselves become quiet. Mrs. May Brown, of Chicago, Ill., says: "Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—Honor to whom honor is due,' and you deserve both the thanks and honor of the mothers of America whom you have so blestedly helped and benefited. I use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound when I would feel run-down, nervous and irritable, or have any of the aches and pains which but few women escape, and I have found that all else me at once and get our out strength.

Perhaps her shoulders are strong enough and broad enough to bear the weight of despite France's confidence in the stability and financial resources of the region.—Mike R. ```markdown ``` HENRY GRAY Enbaiming and Funeral Directors. 1116 Locust St. Mutual 106 Residence 1488 Woodland EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT MUNGER'S LAUN DRY is the best in the city.

Many a man gets groggy over nothing stronger than a pipe dream. A young girl marries in the hope for the future, the widow to forget the past. A critic is a moral butcher who will cut into, and cut up, and cut out anything. There is a lot of incense burned on the altar of love that goes up in smoke. Tact is the art of making people think they are right when you know that they are all wrong. I admire the fellow who succeeds in borrowing all that he wants. He has the nerve that converts itself into hard cash. They say that a giraffe's tongue is long enough to go around a woman's waist, but a woman's tongue will waste even more than that. Women worship money, but the man who stands for it gathers the foggy incense to himself and smiles a self-satisfied, hard cash smile. When a woman speaks of her husband as being such a domestic man you can gamble on it that he is always hanging around when he is not wanted, and poking his nose into everything. When a man proposes to a girl he should be extremely modest. A woman likes to think it a lovely piece of condescension on her part to accept any man, even though she may be more interested in (for his) husband his auto or his yacht—but what on earth am I talking about, anyhow?)—Kate Tyson Marr. MEMORY You are not only what you are now, you are everything you have ever been. Whoever lives entirely in the present does not know the meaning of sympathy. Your childhood is in you; your youth is in you; every hour of your life is still being lived. Consider, then, the importance of the present time, which in its turn shall form a part of the future. Bring back your youth—it is thus you shall understand youth, with its laughter, its gayety, its enthusiasm. Live again your childhood—it is thus you shall understand the intensity of every childish joy and trouble. Bring back your hours of trial, the dark hours of suffering, and no one shall come to you in vain for consolation. Somewhere in your life the experience has been that shall give you a fellow feeling for every happiness, for every sorrow. Among my fellow men I see too many who are prisoners of the present. They shut themselves out from the past. Now and then the memories force themselves upon them. They sigh and shake their heads and turn away. But you—you shall live your life again and again. All the wealth in the world shall not buy you the rapture of a single chosen memory. The sunshine of the past shall pour upon you, flooding your footsteps with a golden light. THE CYNICAL GIRL SAYS. If a man is a failure he is sure it is some woman's fault. If all men were wise all women would seem sensible. Women value dress because men value it so much more. Women don't idealize men, for they never have a chance to. Men are not nearly so wise as women let them think they are. The average man meets more than his match in the average woman. More women would be angels if more men cared anything about heaven. Most men look at a pretty girl as if she had been born expressly on their account. Most men divide women into two classes—their mothers and sisters and all other women. Some men are so stupid that they think women careless for not keeping their shoe laces tied. A man generally reforms on account of some woman—and then takes all the credit to himself. Many men in a restaurant give the impression that they are there not so much to eat as to talk to the waitress. APHORISMS Generosity is the flower of justice.—Hawthorne. decease & elsease poor, but poor by its own fault.—Johnson. Children have more need of models than of critics.—Joubert. A man of integrity will never listen to any reason against conscience.—Home. The more one speaks of himself the less he likes to hear another talked of.—Lavater. Flattery is a base coin which gains currency only from our vanity.—Rochefoucauld. We cannot control the evil tongue of others, but a good life enables us to despise them.—Cato. Contentment with the divine will is the best remedy we can apply to misfortunes.—Sir W. Temple. It depends on education to open the gates which lead to virtue or to vice, happiness or to misery.—Jane Porter. He is happy whose circumstances suit his temper; but he is more excellent who can suit his temper to any circumstances. H. C. Mavemyer's Generosity. Until a few days ago Henry C. Mavemyer had a claim of $15,000 against the First Presbyterian church of Greenwich, Conn. The church was built ten years ago, at which time Mr. Mavemyer contributed $20,000 toward a residence for the pastor. In 1900 he remitted $5,000 and last spring noiled the pastor that if the congregation raise $5,000 more he would cancel the remainder. The required amount has just been subscribed and the church is now free from debt. EVERY DAY IN THE YEAR. The Northern Pacific Railing that their popular overland LIMITED," will be continued due.
