After a delightful stay in the old Bear State (Arkansas) I returned to the good people of St. Paul in the middle of last week. As usual large congregations met me Sunday all day, and from all appearances the day was the most profitable of any of our sojourn in the city. I am very much indebted to brother Newman, our fine local, who preached most acceptably to big congregations in our absence. I am not unmindful of the loyalty of the membership of St. Paul and its large following of young people who are divided into fourteen different departments. Next Thursday is Thanksgiven day and no doubt it will be the history marking day about St. Paul.

FACTS ABOUT THE WELLESLEY STORY The following letter was sent. The New Rork Age from Booker T. Washington, concerning his daughter at Wellesley, which gives the facts in the case and should stop all future discussions as to why she left that college. In the first place, this whole matter was started very largely by the group of colored people who publish that colored newspaper and who, of course, have always been opposed to me. After the colored newspaper started it, the matter was snatched up by the Boston Post and some the same ambition I had in preserving and promoting the plantation singing. She has always kept this in view in her music studies. After she had been in Wellesley for some months, and I had advised with her teachers from time to time, both her teachers and I felt sure that she would make better progress in her musical studies if she had more foundation in the way of literary preparation, and in order that she might better prepare herself, her mother and I decided to have her take a regular seminary course at Bradford Academy, where she now The parsonage was most happily visited by a storm party Monday night while the pastor was at the Trustee meeting.

Layman, the 1st deputy under John McKay as treasurer, was appointed by, the county Board Tuesday as treasurer to fill out the unexpired term of Mr. McKay, who resigned to accept the Postmastership. Mr. Layman is a candidate for County Treasurer, so is Chas. Merrow. They were both candidates before the board for appointment, but Mr. Layman received 3 votes while Mr. Murrow received 2. IT LOOKS LIKE CANNON FOR SPEAKER. From political observations it looks as though Hon. Joe Cannon will be selected as the next speaker of the American Congress to succeed Hon. D. B. Henderson of Iowa. Congressman Babcock of Wisconsin pulled out this week, and the Iowa Congressional with the Wisconsin delegation declared for the Illinois man. It looks as though he had a sure thing. He is well equipped from long service in public affairs and his many years in Congress has fitted him for said office. Iowa has joined hand with her sister state to help push the middle west to the front. THANKSGIVING Again the President, and governors of the various states have set aside next Thursday as the day of Thanksgiving and praises to the great Jehovah for the blessings that the American people enjoyed this year. This has been a year of plenty, of happiness and prosperity, hence we all should give thanks. This custom was first inaugurated by the discoverer of this country, Columbus, and renewed by the father of our country, George Washington, emphasized by the savior of our country, Abraham Lincoln. And this Thanksgiving day we American people today can say that we have reached the highest degree of civilization on the western hemisphere. While our civilization is not perfect by any means, yet we should continue onward and upward to make mankind better. WHAT'S THE M. L.TTER WITH COLORED MINISTERS. It is indeed a great surprise to us the way that the Chicago Broad Ax goes after some of the so called big Chicago ministers. We have never read such bold statements and such terrible things that Editor Taylor allege that those ministers are guilty of. This week's issue of the Broad Ax gives a three column writeup on the black and unsavory record that Rev. A. J. Murray had while in Indianapolis and also in Chicago now, if those things are true his license to preach ought to be revoked, we believe that the pulpit ought to be purefied and kept pure. Broab Ax, you may be right but you have a big task we know. The way to succeed nowadays is to have had success first. FACTS ABOUT THE WELLESLEY STORY The following letter was sent The New Rork Age from Booker T. W. Washington, concerning his daughter at Wellesley, which gives the facts in the case and should stop all future discussions as to why she left that college: In the first place, this whole matter was started very largely by the group of colored people who publish that colored newspaper and who, of course, have always been opposed to me. After the colored newspaper started it, the matter was snatched up by the Boston Post and some correspondent on the Post sent the matter to all of the leading Southern daily papers about two weeks ago. Such papers as the Montgomery Advertiser and the Atlanta Constitution telephoned me that they had the matter but refused to publish it until there was enough foundation in the story to warrant their doing so. I should say that perhaps three or four Southern daily papers published the matter two weeks ago. The facts in the case are these: My daughter being here on the grounds and having superior advantages, finished the courses here, both literary and industrial, at a much younger age than is true of 1910 M. B. DES MOINES' NEW POSTMASTER Hon. John A. T. Hull has decided and announced to the public that he will recommend the Hon. John McKay, Sr., as postmaster for Des Moines for the next four years, his term beginning December 22, 1902. The appointment is a popular one and the most deserving out of the many applicants. In fact Mr. McKay was the choice of fully two-thirds of the people of Des Moines. He is honest, clean, punctual and a good conservative man. He is a friend to all classes and races, with ripe age and well matured ideas. He regards a man from his ability, his honesty and his character and not his complexion. He was 69 years ago and came worked in the mines in the he was elected alder First ward and from elected county treasurer first and only man in appointed a colored murer because he thou owd race was entitle sentative in that on many white republic colored man as a depain that the 1,000 profoundly grateful to wish him success in h the average student. She finished two of the industrial courses, cooking and dressmaking. She has always from a child been attracted to instrumental music, and as she was not old enough to begin teaching here, or elsewhere, we decided to have her perfect herself in music with a view of returning here and teaching it. In this connection I wish to add that she has always had $3.00 Three Dollar SHOES The New Three Dollar Ladies' and Gents Shoes we have just received ARE WONDERS the same ambition I had in preserving and promoting the plantation singing. She has always kept this in view in her music studies. After she had been in Wellesley for some months, and I had advised with her teachers from time to time, both her teachers and I felt sure that she would make better progress in her musical studies if she had more foundation in the way of literary preparation, and in order that she might better prepare herself, her mother and I decided to have her take a regular seminary course at Bradford Academy, where she now is studying and is doing well in every respect. There was nothing during her entire stay at Wellesley which, indicated that any one had the least perjudice or feeling against her on account of her color. In fact, from the beginning to the end of her school life there she has been treated with the greatest kindness and consideration by students and the teachers. She did not board in the hall for the reason that no one except those taking the regular college course is permitted to board in the hall. There is a colored girl at the present time, much darker than my daughter, in the Senior class who boards in the hall. Besides, I pre 1930 complexion. He was born in Scotland 69 years ago and came to this country, worked in the mines for many years; he was elected alderman from the First ward and from her ward; he was the first and only man in Iowa that ever appointed a colored man deputy treasurer because he thought that the colored race was entitled to one representative in that office even though many white republicans opposed a colored man as a deputy. When he was elected voters felt profoundly grateful to Mr. McKay and wish him success in his new office. sume nearly a half dozen colored girls have graduated at Wellesley since it has been founded. For your personal reading, I send you the last letter which I had from my daughter, which will give an idea as to how she is getting on.

FOR MURDER OF FINKELSTEIN Several Mild Sensation Are Spray By Each Side in Levish Trial-Attorney Eman Saw Man in Allay, But Natlern Was Levish or Walker. Des Moines, Nov. 15.—In the Levish murder trial yesterday Sam Calloway, Policeman De Long, Henry Payton, Pearl Burton, Beach Embody and H. H. Church were the state's star who kept his head and made a favorable impression, testified to seeing Walker, whom he knew, in an alley two blocks from the murder after S o clock on the chunky white man with a big sandy moustache." The description fits Levish as far as it goes. Calloway refused positively to identify Levish, although a fellow calling him strongly resembled him. On cross examination Mr. McHenry laid the foundation for what will be undoubted an attempt to impeach Calloway's testimony. The defense will be following it in the court at the time he said he saw Walker. Policeman De Long testified that at about 7 o'clock the night of the murder he was taking with Levich, he was told to take him, who was to have come over the night before to slug Finkelstein. That while they were talking Walker came up and Levich nudged him. He heard Walker say he would be unable to find him the previous evening. Henry Payton of hitching up Levich's horse for him after the murder, and said that Levich told him not to take his wife that he took the horse out. Pearl Burton said that he was with Walker between 9:30 and 10:30 the night of the murder in Whitechapel, and that Levich drove up and called Walker to the buggy, in the theory that he was after Levich. Walker came immediately to the west side and that Levich came over either to pay him or to tell him that Finkelstein was dead from the blow, and that he must be careful. The hawkeeper at Kennedy's saloon,诉诉 him that Levich borrowed a revolver from him the night of the murder, saying it was to kill a dog. H.H. Church, who lives in the saloon, confirmed the revolver story, and sai. that he took a drink with Levich and hid him to look in the morning papers, and that a gang was after Finkelstein. S. A. Press testified to meeting Levich in his buggy on his way to the west side after 10 p. m. Palmer told him that he had to be killed. Deputy Marshal Peterson testified Levich had told him he would get Finkkeinstein. Edward Abraham corroborated Whiteside as the suspect. Deputy Marshal Levich cigar store early in the evening the night of the murder. H. R. Boyle testified Levich told him he would not be in Finkelstein's shoes and he would have been victims McNutt and Brothers testified to Levich's statements after his arrest and to threats they had heard him make. Molines. Nov. 18.—The state closed and the defense opened yesterday in the Levich murder trial. On the whole it was an exceedingly good defense, although the state's lawyers said the case had been materially weakened. The witnesses introduced by the state were I. M. Pearson, fireman on the Northwestern railroad, George O'Neill, fireman on the Northwestern railroad, Carpenter testified to meeting Levich coming to the west side after the murder, Frost corroborated H. R. Boyle's testimony on Friday that on Sunday before the murder he was murdered by Boyle and Frost.inkelstein ought to have his head knocked off, and Fireman Pearson testified to meeting Finkelstein 100 feet west of the place where he was murdered. He said the fatal alley he saw a heavy set man and annoter man about thirty feet up the alley. These men were undoubtedly the murders. After giving evidence for the defense, he said that he came down Walnut street, stopped at the Hyrum Levich cigar store and saw Harris Levich there. If this testimony correct Harris Levich was the victim of the crime when committed. The most important witness for the defense was Tom Littleton, clerk in the Simon clothing store, who swore point blank that he was at the Levich cigar store from about 8 o'clock to the 10 o'clock, and that Harris Levich came shortly after 8 o'clock and sat in a chair within a few feet of him all the time he was there. Mr. Littleton was an exceedingly intelligent witness, and so far as shown he no interest preemptively in the case. Hyman Levich, Sol Sondolusky and Harry Feerlong corroborated Littleton, although they could not sweat Harris Levich was at the cigar store the whole evening. 19 — The feature of the Levich trial yesterday was the testimony of L. H. Evans, a Des Moines attorney, that on the night of the Finkelstein murder, at about 9:45, as he was going home, he saw two men in the alley at the mouth of which murdered the jury, committed Evans to the jury the following story: "I came down town about 8 o'clock the night of the murder and was in the vicinity of East Fifth and Walnut home, going east on the north side of Walnut street. I walked the drug store at the corner of Walnut and East Sixth and walked up toward the alley. Just before we got to the door from the alley I saw a man stick his head out around the corner of the alley, or the house that stood on the west side of it, and look cautiously traced by attention and aroused my suspicious. I sheered off as far as I tragedy in Davis County, Bloomfield, Nov. 18.—A sad accident occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jake King, who reside on a farm southwest of Pulaski. Mrs. King's brother, John Mozingo, oldest son of Mrs. Isabel Mozingo of this city, accused John of reading and Lacy play John of saying. "I'll shoot you." John took up the gun lying near him and Lacy had loaded it as that morning. could and was as near the curb line as possible as I passed the alley. I was watching closely as I passed the alley and I saw two men standing in the alley, one with a flashlight the light would permit. Both were colored men. One was smaller than the other, and of rather slight build and spare faced. The larger man, I should say, was a man who looked out from the alley in my direction as I came up the street was the smaller man, and I looked and saw he was a rather sharp featured colored man, I know he was a man who looked out from the court room. Neither one I saw was John Walker'. Mr. Evann, who was a witness for the defense, was subjected to a merciless cross examination by Mr. Brennan, the attorney for the defense, in its essential features, although the fact was brought out strongly that the witness had never come to the police or the court, and that he had murder, or to the grand jury with his story of what he alleged he had seen He said that the first person he had spoken to of the two men seen in the courtroom was the defendant, and two or three weeks ago. He told Mose Levich, he said, in the latter's place on business on West Walnut street, and that he was the defendant, or for the defense, called upon him and he told the story to him. The effort of the defense to connect the gamblers with the murder was objectionable, and he was required to permit evidence along that line. Des Moines, Nov. 21.—Mrs. Finkelstein was put on the stand yesterday to show the relations existing between the murdered man and the defendant. She was preceded on the stand by Mr. Finkelstein, who told of a quarrel he heard between Levich and Finkelstein in the police court room on July 31. Mr. Smith indicated that the dispute was over a bond and that high words were used to describe the need to have Levich indicted for furnishing houses for purposes of prostitution and Levich retorted in kind. Mrs. Finkelstein's testimony related to first part of the same quarrel. She was told that she had been asked with her husband and that as they got off the car on West Second and Locust streets Levich came up and angrily asked what Finkelstein meant by medding in his business. Finkelstein deceived her by saying that he had continued. Mrs. Finkelstein said that she called to her husband to come away, but that the two men stood mere quarrelling. The other important testimony of the day was Witness Frank Gottstein, who was married to Harris Levich about 9:30 in front of his store, a block away from the murder, while the alibi of the defense is that Levich at that time was at his cousin's cigar store. Gottstein was apparently an unwilling man, and the near Levich, did not say what it was or give a description. The defense scored heavily with a witness introduced at the last minute in sur-rebuttal, who swore that he stopped in the car and saw there two men, both colored, one large and one small. TELEGRAPH CO. RESPONSIBLE. Schriver Brothers Recovered $8,873 From the Western Union. Fort Dodge, Nov. 19.—It took just twenty-eight minutes for the jury in the case of Schriver Bros. vs. the Western Union Telegraph Co. to decide that the telegraph company is responsible for bogus messages sent to their fleet. It was indicted for $9,000 damages. The award of the jury was for $8,873, deduction being made for four cattle of the bunch which were shipped by plaintiffs to a swindler named Barnes on receipt of a false notice. The jury awarded interest at 6 per cent from the time when the message was sent, March 1922. The case was hard fought and its abrupt determination excited much surprise. The jury found that the company did not excuse duty in care as ensuring themselves of the authenticity of the message. The telegraph, which purported to certify to the validity of checks, was telephoned to the Western Union operator at Denison, i.e. FAMOUS BREEDERS ASSIGN. Lack of Ready Cash Forces Failure of C. B.

As hour after hour went by, the fog seemed to be lifting, and it was the saw that the misery of that had saw the dawn of the early morning—the dawn chasing away the horrid blackness of the sight. Our greatest trouble now was thirst, and I knew that the misery of that had but commenced. And I also knew that in a few hours hunger would add its pangs to the other horrors of our situation, and our hope lay in the discovery, in the coming daylight, of a passing vessel. At last morning broke. The fog was banished by the warm glow of the rising sun, and the chill began to depart from our bones and flesh. Consequently our spirits rose and we scanned the sea for a ship. There was none in sight. The faces of the poor women were the same as one stick with impotent ply. One or two of them seemed to have lost consciousness and perhaps they were better off than the rest. Suddenly, when the cup of our bitterness seemed full, one of the sailors joyfully pointed to the westward and shattered "A sail! A sail!" The others looked, and having verified his joyful utterance, they sang and laughed and shouted like men beside themselves, notwithstanding the fact that the sail was still far away and might bring no succor to us at all. One of the sailors pulled off his shirt and tying the sleeves to an oar, made a signal of it, which he held aloft. The sail grew slowly but steadily larger, larger and larger, proacproaching vessel out to be a brig. When it became evident beyond chance of error that the brig was coming to our assistance, the joy of all in our little boat, save the two women who were but half conscious, burst forth in shouts and cries of thanksgiving. And it was with a feeling that I cannot describe that we saw her heave to and heard the captain hall us. In whom we were—or at least the officer in charge of our boat did—and after a few strokes at the oars by our weary sailors, we were alongside the brig. The women were tenderly placed on board first. Then I was assisted up the ladder, and the other male passengers followed. Then the sailors clambered aboard, and the boat was sent adrift. The rescuing brig proved to be the Janette from New York, bound for Liverpool. The captain, James Southey, was part owner, and she was engaged in a private carrying trade, being assigned to a well-known shipping firm. Within twenty minutes after getting on board the Janette we had a smoking and savory meal set before us, and it is needless to say that we did it without a cap. I was provided with a jacket by the second mate, who was a man about my own build. He also gave me a cap. I chatted with the officer from the ill-fated Queen, who had been in command of our small boat. From him I learned all that was known of the accident. The first officer had been in command. The fog was so dense that nothing could be seen a hundred feet away. Even the lights were almost useless. Suddenly, through the fog, the dull outlines of a hull were distinguished directly ahead, and almost under the bows of the Queen. The gong to reverse the engines was sounded, but it was too late. The hull was entered into the obstructing hull, and the result was too well known to all. "The accident is a strong argument," continued the officer, "in favor of the destruction of derelicts by warships. The hull which sent the Queen to destruction was no doubt one of these wandering menaces to navigators, which are to be met with when they are least expected. It was certainly a deserted vessel, and probably a dismasted one." Captain Souther added his testimony as to the danger of the derelicts at sea, and said he hoped it would not be necessary to destroy the necessity for action and sent out war vessels equipped for destroying them. If the sleeping accommodations on board the Janette were meager, the supply of food was not. We had plenty to eat and drink, and now that I was restored to nearly my usual strength, I could look with equanimity upon our disaster. But I had lost Maubkeck. Of course, my condition was worse than that of a g骆 low-unfortunate, many of whom had lost loved ones, members of their own families. With these I could only sympathize and offer to them what little comfort and consolation there might be in kind words. But in spite of all that Captain Southey and the others could do, the Janette carried a load of misery toward Liverpool. I found among the rescued passengers two gentlemen who were, like myself, comfortably up a handsome purse and made up a handsome purse and made it to Captain Southey as an expression of our gratitude for his kindness to us in our extremity. With the warmest expressions of friendship we parted, most of the passengers being taken in charge by the company that had owned the Queen, but I, to continue on my journey to Sardinia to rescue Nita Barlotti from her master's abdomen for my own purpose as well as for hers, the red box that had been given by her father, at his heath, to the Italian into whose keeping he had also placed his beautiful daughter. **CHAPTER VI.** My stay in Liverpool was not a long one. I at once communicated with my friends in New York, assuring them of my safety. I spent considerable time hovering around the offices of the steamship company thirttling for a word or hope for Maublakeck and those who had left on board the ill-fated Queen. But the only thing that was really known was that four boats left the Queen at the time of the collision, and ours was the only one heard from. And as the boat we were in was the last to leave, those who remained on the steamer must have shared her fate. There was besides my anxiety on Maublakeck's behalf, a motive of haste in my resolve. If Maublakeck was really lost, as no one who had seen the dark form of the sinking Queen melt away in the fog as I had could doubt, then I was wasting time in Liverpool and be on the trail of Malgal. I felt a terrible yet almost holy responsibility resting on me, now that Maublakeck was gone. He had given me my life at the cost of his own. And in that last moment of parting, when I had but half realized the full purpose of his heroic action, he had cried out to me from the fog and blackness to find and rescue Nita Bariotti if I reached land alive. And now those last words of my preserver rang in my ears like an imperative call to perform a solemn duty. In obeying Maublucke I was but furthering my own purposes. But I may say truthfully, that so heavily and solemnly did that last cry of Maublucke weigh upon my soul, if the carrying of his wishes involved the relinquishing of my own, I would have gone on his errand unhesitatingly, and let my own ambitions sink out of sight when my debt to his memory was far up past. Thus it was that, having given up all hope for Maublucke, and having provided myself with all the things needful to replace those I had lost on the Queen, I was anxious to start at once for Sardinia in quest of Malliini and his slave. Nita. On the deck of a smoothly-gliding steamer that was rapidly entering the port of Cagilari, the chief southern seaport of the island of Sardinia, I stood, with my marine glass levelled, taking in with interest the scene that was being opened up before me. The city of Cagilari has a population closely approximating forty thousand. It is the most important city—de facto the capital—of the exception of what little trade and commerce goes to Sassari, on the north, Cagilari is the emporium of trade of the island. Before leaving Genoa on the steamer I had performed two duties—one for Maublcke and one for myself. The one in behalf of Maublcke was simple. I had telegraphed to Liverpool to learn if any news had been received of my ill-fated fellow-passenger. I was sent from a president of the company that made the boats—a companion to the one I had been in—had been picked up, and ten more unfortunates had been saved from destruction. But nothing whatever had been heard of the Queen or any who had been left on board, and it was finally concluded that the junk, and the marine insurance had been paid. The duty to myself was the employing of a guide and interpreter. Fortunately for me I had recollected that the banking house of Dorr & Company of New York, with which I had had a long-standing friendship, had a branch at Genoa, and I had called upon them, made myself known, and informed them that I was on my way to Sardinia and wished to engage the services of an honest guide and to come close to course I did not tell them what about a object of my excursion into the island. I gave them to understand that I was merely bent on pleasure—a hunting trip after moulton. The mouflon is a small animal of the sheep tribe and thrives in a wild state on the Sardinian mountains. It is not unusual for French, German or English sportsmen to go to Sardinia to hunt them, and as a reason for my voyage, the mouflon served very well. Signor grandert, the head of the Game of Dorr & Company, was a quiet, affable gentleman, very polite, and spoke English well. He seemed eager to do whatever he could for me, and promised to furnish me with just the person I needed. Signor Branderl rang a bell in his private office, where we had been sitting, and a clerk responded. The banker spoke to him in Italian, and the clerk bid and went away. Shortly thereafter another person came and stood respectfully before us. It was my interpreter. I told Signor Branderl, in Entrance, "I have an engagement for you. This gentleman is a friend of our house in New York, and is about to visit Sardinia to hunt mouns. You are to accompany him as guide and interpreter. You will bear in mind that Signor Wilberton has the great friendship of our house, and his interests must be carefully guarded. Do whatever the signor desires." "I am at the service of Signor Wil伯ton," said Mutterell, bowing. "And I may say to you, Signor Wil伯ton," continued the banker, "that I recommend Mutterellii highly. He knows all about Sardinia from cagliari to Sassari, and is brave and intelligent." The fact that he knew all about Sardinia made Mutterello a valuable man in my eyes at once. "Very well," I said. "I thank you, Signor Branderl, for your kindness. And Mutterellii will have no cause to regret his faithful attention to my interests." Mutterellii bowed again. "When will the signor start?" he asked. "As soon as possible—by the first steamer," I replied. "Which is to morrow. I will arrange everything," said Mutterellii. "I will go now and engage our passage." Thus it was that as I stood on the deck of the steamer moving into Cagliari, Mutterelli stood by my side. On the voyage from Genoa I had asked if I would be allowed to see and if my questions related more to persons and politics than to mouton and other game, Mutterelli did not show any surprise, but answered all inquiries with a directness and promptness. I proved that Slimer Barduch, also mate of my guide's knowledge of the island was not too high. But while I asked questions, I said nothing about the real object of my visit. I preferred to withhold that knowledge until we were actually upon the island which was to be the scene of action. "I am that in building, Mutterelll" I asked, pointing to two high steeples about half-way up the hill. "That is the cathedral, signor," he replied. "It was built during the fourteenth century." "And that?" I continued, directing his attention to a broad, white building with many windows, which stood facing the bay. "That is the university, signor," he replied. "It is a fine institution. It has the departments of theology, law, medicine and philosophy. It has three academers and about four hundred students." "And the castle on the hill top, Mutterelll" "That is the Prefettura, signer. It was once the castle of the King of Sardinia, but now it is the legal residence of the prefetto and the headquarters of the army of Sardinia and of the police." One after another of the imposing buildings I pointed out to him, and answered in this prompt and efficient manner. Mutterelli was given guidance. There was no gainsaying. At last we reached the dock. Mutterelli assumed entire charge of our debarkation, and we were soon in a carriage, rumbling along the quay toward the best hotel of Cagliari, where I had requested Mutterelli to procure comfortable quarters. I had cautiously, as if by accident, given my guide to understand that close observation of my wishes would be well repaid, and that I was willing to accept the kind come rarely to Sardinia, it can be well understood that I had the best that Cagliari could produce and Mutterelli could procure. The Grand Hotel (Hotel Grande) stood on a prominent corner of Cagliari, with one narrow, crooked street running past it from north to south, and another equally narrow and more crooked street passing east and west. As my willingness to pay was well known by Mutterelli, I had the best hotel a hotel could afford. Mutterelli had skillfully concealed all curiosity about my trip. He had not asked a single question. But now, having arrived at our hotel, one thing puzzled him. I had brought no guns. "You must have good guns to shoot the mouton, signor," he said, when he had asked me if I had any. "Most all hunters bring their rifles with them. But I can obtain some good ones here. It is just as well." FAMOUS DOGS ARE EXTINCT Last of Newfoundlanda Disappearing From the Face of the Earth. Dog lovers are discovering with regret that one of the finest canine species has become almost extinct. The Newfoundland is practically no more in this country and in England. The fast-vanishing breed is native in the island of Newfoundland, and old records say early settlers found the Indians in possession of magnificent specimens. It is generally supposed, however, that the Newfoundland was the result of a cross of some English strain and the native dogs. At any rate, this particular animal is celebrated in history as the embodiment of courage and intelligence. It is the highest type canine excellence. Landseer, in his famous painting, "The Child's Best Friend," rendered the species immortal. In spite of this, it is a fact that the valuable dog, in its original habitat, is quite extinct. And he was most useful there, too, in saving drowning persons along the stormwave coast, where shipwrecks are frequent. Nevertheless, it is charged that it was through starvation and neglected that dogs died out in Newfoundland itself. The British government has lately been obliged to purchase for the Newfoundland life-saving station a new breed of dogs to take their places. These are the Leonbergs, a cross between Newfoundlands, St. Brinards and the Pyrenees wolf dog. They are the most powerful built dogs in the world and stand more than four times tall. They are also used to land the British government paid from $250 to $400 aple for, and some specimens have sold for as high as $500. 'TWIXT SUMMER AND AUTUMN. Hard to Determine the Status of August, Especially in the East. "One thing that has been puzzling me ever since I struck this part of the country is the easterner's division of the seasons," lamented the man from Milwaukee, according to the New York Times. "Out where I come from we always count August as a summer holiday in the New York-New England population—and especially the theatrical portion thereof—evidently classify it otherwise. "I have reached this conclusion by reading the advertisements on the billboards. You may travel the length of any prominent theatrical street in every good-sized eastern city and take occasional peeps into the adjoining streets, and at the entrance to business you will see this sign: "Closed for the summer. Will reopen in August." "Now what I want to know is, what is the status of August in this part of the country? Is it a summer month, or a fall month, or a winter month, or has it been lopped off from all the divisions of the year established by the calendar and been made to constitute a season by itself?"

THE AIR taken into the water by the descending PERFECTION # 100 PLANTATIONS ARE RUINED Vulnerable Properties Buried Under From Five to Seven Feet of Akes-Earth- quakes Destroyed Many Buildings- Great Loss of Life. San Francisco, Nov. 20. —The first of the refuges -es from the devastated lands of Guatemala arrived on the Pacific mail steamer city of Para. They came through, districts laid washe by sand, ashes and pumice before reaching a railway station. They made the journey thence by rail to Champico and there took steamer to San Francisco, sailing November 7, when the volcano was still smoking and rumbling and giving evidence of eruptions to come. These people fled from their plantations in fear for their lives, eschewed the clothing they wore. The refugees confirm stories of loss of life. They say that the victims for the most part are Indians. They had not heard of any white people being lost. They were buried or buried in the sand. Miles of plantations are under ashes and absolute ruin is the lot of many planters whose all was invested in the plantation. Within a half hour's ride of General Sanchez and brings the information that the general and his family are safe. A cablegram received here when the first eruption occurred stated that Barillo had been asphyxated. The refuges state that it is not the crater of Santa Maria that is in action, but a small mountain rising from one oak tree above of Santa Maria, called El Rosalso. The people left behind on the plantations, it is said, are in danger of from starvation of the food supply and way to send in supplies to the afflicted districts.

Great quantities of pumice were found floating on the water and some of the pieces were destroyed of the volcanic eruption. The sea was covered with the stuff. During the night of November 6, just a few hours before the City of Para sailed out of the port, lour- rumblings of the were heard and heard the port as of distant ther- der came from the direction of the volcano.

Earthquakes destroyed many build- ings. In the territory about Palma, San Felpe, Pueblo Neuvo and Retalquie was buried under ashes. Many of the plantations were buried under from five to seven feet of debris and the five neighborhood for miles was a burning wilderness. **THREE TO KILL PRESIDENT.** Startling Story Told by Mrs. Lena Dokhaimie of Hoboken. New York, Nov. 19.—Mrs. Lena Doxheimer, who says that, until she became a member of the First Methodist Episcopal church at Hoboken, two years ago, she was associated with an anarchist society of that place, and whose mental balance is questioned, is reported to have related to the Mothers' club and the pastor of the church a story of an alleged anarchist plot against the life of President Roosevelt. According to Mrs. Doxheimer, there have been in the last fourteen months three persons assigned to the task of removing the Frenchman named Melov, she says, persuaded to return to Paris, where he was killed by a street car. She professes to believe that he put himself in the way of a car to save his relatives the humiliation of regarding him. Next, according to Mrs. Doxheimer, the assassins' task was assigned to a man named Mueller, living in avenue B, this city, who a few days later died of poison self administered. The last person to be arrested was the work, Mrs. Doxheimer allages, was a Mrs. Schroeder of Hamden, who also ended her life by means of poison. Mrs. Doxheimer asserts among the plotters were several million of her children, and that a millionaire is indicated by her statement that these men "owned houses." Mrs. Doxheimer says that recently she has been under suspicion of her husband from place to place, so they have required the protection of detectives. The Rev. Charles L. Meade, Mrs. Doxheimer's pastor, will make no statement regarding the so-called confession. Cholera Epidemic in Jerusalem. Jerusalem, Nov. 19. The cholera epidemic is spreading rapidly.

Washington, Nov. 21. —The report of the first assistant postmaster general ior the year ending October 30 shows that Iowa has more rural mail delivery routes than any state in the union. This state is credited with 1,092 established routes. Illinois is next with 988 and Ohio third with 885. Indiana has 877 and alichigan 637. No other state has to exceed 500 routes. November 1 ten additional routes which had been approved would be added to the service, making a total of 1,102 now actually established. In all 1,957 applications for routes have been filed from Iowa and 1,000 from Indiana pending the report shows it has been reported on favorably by inspectors, which means this number will soon be added to the route being served, 110 have been reported unfavorably, and 100 applications are pending. In Iowa 71,06 per cent of the applications have been considered. The table shows that in Iowa the work has been more systematically than in any other state in the union, and it is important to consider the state by counties with the view of completing the service for whole counties at a time and that nineteen counties in Iowa are now fully applied, while applications when acted on will complete the service in a majority of the counties in the state. The increase in the number of routes established in the state has been over 50 per cent in the past year. No other state makes as favorable a showing in number of routes applied as Iowa, but in two other states the total number of applications filed exceeds the total in Iowa. Illinois has filed 2,007 petitions and that Ohio has rural routes. BANK OF ARTHUR LOOTED The Vault And Safe Doors Were Blown Open. Ida Grove, Nov. 19—The bank of the farmer's Loan and Trust Co., at Arthur, a small town seven miles east of here, was looted by burglarars and from two to five thousand dollars secured.

If your druggist does not keep PARIS MEDIC Manufacturers of LA THE TEST OF TIME Mrs. Clara J. Sherburne, professional nurse, of 257 Cumberland street, Portland, Maine, says: "I heartily wish those who suffer from some disturbed action of the kidneys would try Donan's Kidney Pills. They would, like me, be more than surprised. My back annoyed me for years. Physicians who diagnosed my case said it arose from my kidneys, and worm out with constant nursing, and when I contracted it myself it left me in a very serious condition. I could not straighten nor do the most trivial act without being in torture. The kidneys were too active or the secretions were too copious, and I knew what was wrong, but how to right it was a mystery. It seems odd for a professional to be so involved with experience with medicines, to read advertisements about Donan's Kidney Pills in the newspapers, and it may appear more singular for me to go to H. H. Hay & Son's drug store for a box. But I did, however; and had anybody told me before that it was possible to get relief as quickly as I did I would have been loth to believe it. You can send anyone who wishes to take medicine to me, and I will be only too glad to tell them personally. As long as I live I will be a firm advocate of Donan's Kidney Pills." JUDGE CONFIDENTIAL "Doan has strengthened my good opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills, first expressed in the spring of 1896. I said then that had anybody told me that it was possible to get relief as quickly as I did I would have been able to believe it. Years have passed and my continued freedom from kidney complaint has strengthened my opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills and given me a much higher appreciation of the work I have done."

Pittsburg Pa. The jury in the case of Dr. Anna B. Rollins, formerly Schultz, of Chicago, against ex-Superintendent of Detectives Roger O'Mara, Detective Richard Kelly and ex-Detective Charles McGovern for $25,000 for false arrest, brought in a verdict to-day in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of $2,037 against the three defendants. The jury in giving a verdict for the plaintiff estimated the damages on the value of the time lost by the plaintiff as a result of her detention in Pittsburgh by the alleged false arrest made by the defendants. Dr. Anna B. Rollins is one of the leading colored doctors in Ceicago, and a highly respected citizen. She was passing through Pittsburgh enroute last summer on a visit when arrested, and at the trial she was vindicated of the charges preferred against her. Hence the verdict by the jury.
