OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO WOMEN It is doubtful if any other newspaper in the United States caters so successfully to the varied interests of the home as does The Chicago Record-Herald.

Qui Vive's "Woman Beautiful" column, in which questions concerning the toilet, etc., are answered and useful hints are given; "Meals for a Day," including menus and recipes for the three meals every day; an installment of a highgrape serial story, and in addition the "Stories of the Day" column on the editorial page. S. E. Kiser's humorous "Alternating Currents," the boys' and girls' page and Dr. Withrow's article on the Sunday School lesson in the Friday issues; also entertaining and in the Sunday issues numerous special fashion, household and other articles, all very interesting to the sex, including the best full page of fashions appearing in any newspaper; "How to Be Healthy and Beautiful," by Mrs. Henry Symes, "a page for the Home Dressmaker," and two full pages, beautifully colored, reproducing the latest fashions. To the many friends who so kindly aided us in caring lor our beloved sister, Mrs. Sarah Smith, we extend to you all our hearty thanks. Mrs. Emily Terry Mrs. J. Morgan Miss Anna Terry Lrs.

They are brought out in shapes as at traverse as the fine silver, copper and good lined cooking vessels used in wealthy households. The stew pana terrapin dishes, coffee urns and tea-kettles of aluminum have now such beauty of contour and finish that they seem almost more appropriate to the dining-table table than to the kitchen. Expensive Invitations The latest craze in New York among the very wealthy is an extravagant style of invitation card. Net long ago the wife of a millionaire ordered 200 of these from a local firm and they cost her just $10 each. The cards were made of ivory edged with gold, the name of the guest and hostess being lettered in gold on one side, the other being hand-painted. Cards at $each are quite common. Asked and Answered. "What is a prodigy?" asked the boarding house landicid, as she looked up from a letter she was perusing. "A prodigy," answered the wise guy at the southeast corner of the table, "is something rare. For example, a rare steak would be a prodigy in this hash dispensary." Cause and Effect "You seem to be in a weak and nervous physical condition," said the medical examiner of the insurance company. "No wonder," replied the victim. "Your solicitors have made my life a burden during the past six months." IN WASHINGTON (By Robert Terrell.) Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the noted English composer, is in our city, and his visit to the Nation's capital is an event of supreme importance to colored Americans all over this country. He comes to hear the only society in the world that bears his name render his great work, "Hiawatha." He himself will conduct it, and this will be the first time in his brilliant career that he has wielded the baton for a chorus composed entirely of men and women in whose veins flow Negro blood—men women akin to him in this respect. This great chorus of more than 200 voices will have the assistance of the famous Marine band, as well as the inspiration that it must get from the presence of the great composer. Convention Hall is the most spacious auditorium in Washington, and it is here that the concert will take place on two nights, November 16 and 17, "Hiawatha" on the first night, and special works of Mr. Coleridge-Taylor (that is his name, not Mr. Taylor) on the second night. The success of the performance has long been assured in a financial way. There has been a big demand for tickets, and people, white and black, have exhibited the same anxiety to obtain choice seats as they do for the concerts of the great Boston Symphony Orchestra. Of course all of us, the singers and their friends, are on the tiptoe of expectancy, anxious to know what the renowned Coleridge-Taylor will say about, the rendition of his work by "The Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society." This orignization has won its way into the hearts of the music-loving people of Washington. How will it impress the genius and master mind. The Washington Post of today gives this excellent account of Mr. Coleridge-Taylor: "To a reporter the composer talked interestingly of his career. He began his education in music at the early age of six with the study of the violin, and was able to read music before he could read the alphabet. At the age of sixteen he became a student in the Royal College of Music in London, where he continued the study of the violin for nearly two and a half years, when his thoughts were turned in the direction of composition by a scholarship which was offered for the best musical composition, and his success in securing this scholarship decided his career. His instructor was the celebrated Sir Charles Villiers Stamford, the composer of the well-known opera, "Shamus O Brien." "The attention of the general public was first directed to S. Coleridge-Taylor by the production a the Gloucester festival of 1899 of an orchestral 'Ballade in A Minor' of his composition. This was followed in about three months by the first part of 'Hiawatha,' a dramatic cantata in three parts, which hast made him famous, not only in England, but also in this country, and which has been produced by the Royal Choral Society, of England, the society of the first rank in that country, and which contains over 1,000 voices. "Just before his departure for this country, the composer was appointed director and conductor of the Handel Choral Society, of London, which, after the Royal Choral Society, is the most important choral society in all Great Britain. This society is composed, to a large degree, of members of the nobility, and numbers among its members a son of Gladstone. "Of his own work S. Coleridge Taylor thinks that his latest composition, a sacred cantata called 'The Atonement,' is the best, though he admits that many of the public prefer 'Hiawatha.' "In appearance, though colored, the composer has clear-cut delicate features, and possesses a face of the greatest intelligence; his figure is slender and graceful, and his manner which is quite English, is most courteous and well-bred. He is twenty-nine years of age, having been born in London in 1875. "On November 16 and 17 S. Coleridge-Taylor will conduct the choral society which bears his name in the production of 'Hiawatha' and other of his compositions at Convention Hall. The Choral Society will be assisted by an oruhestra of fifty-two pieces of the United States Marine Band." Mr. Coleridge-Taylor says that he is very favorably impressed with what he has seen in America. The people of Washington are determined to make his visit not only pleasant but instructive as to condition, civilization and progress of the colored folks in the United States. Washington, D. C., Nov. 6, 1904.—New York Age. OBITUARY Mrs. Sarah Smith of 204 14th street, died last Saturday evening after an illness of sometime.

It is supposed that the readers of this most valuable paper will not construe the writer as attempting to revolutionize the progress which is so demonstrative along certain lines. For it is being clearly demonstrated by a number of the more thoughtful and intelligent of the race, that for the good of themselves and the great general one an awakening to sense of duty is necessary. We must apply ourselves to that which is more edifying than that of a mere butterfly existence. It is nearing the time when the various social pleasures are at their zenith; such as dancing, cards, etc. While these popular amusements offer much pleasure, why persist in them as the chief amusement of the hour. There comes a time, you will admit, in every intelligent man or woman's life when he or she becomes tired of pleasures, asks the question, are we advancing intelligently or are we advancing retrograding? That is the time, then, to listen to the voice of conscience. We are surrounded by a vast amount of intelligence. We have men and women of whom we need not be ashamed who are trying to do all that they can in the way of improvement both morally and socially. We have in our city an association hall where the young people can and derive much pleasure. The promoters are earnestly working to make it a success. Why not encourage them? We have musicians, executiveitor orators, many of these are not affiliated with any church or organizations, and we have also many intelligent women who are wasting their talent upon "the desert air." Why not come in touch with the woman's clu, a band of noble workers, laboring for the upkeep of the house, but no one is not desirous of that, there is other work they can engage themselves. Nature has provided us with certain faculties, not even one is adapted to the same, but there is something for each one to do. Do not let the talents, however small, lie dormant, but awaken to the fact that this is an age of progression. The opportunities are great if we only but grasp them. A momentous problem confronts us, what will we do with the boys and girls of today? We must train the mind, and with that properly trained we can train the hands. "Let us then be up and doing," with a heart for any fate. Still pursuing, still achieving. Learn to labor and to wait. —Mrs. Belle Banister. KEOKUK.

TERRIBLE SUFFERING TERRIBLE SUFFERING THIS YOUNG WOMAN APPEALED IN VAIN TOR HELP. When Hope had Almost Settled Into Utero Despair Relief Came from an Unexpected Source, Mrs. Emma Heidcheder, of No. 1325 Joy street, Burlington, Iowa, whose husband is an employee of the Rud Lumber Co., tells a story of pitiful suffering: "For about five years," she says, "I had a host of physical illies that kept me invalid and puzzled the doctors. Some of them thought I was going into consumption. At times I was so weak that I could not comb my hair or even wash my face. Then exercising pains made my thigh and I had to be carried to the doctor, and I could no longer do my work and the drain upon my husband's purse was very heavy. I craved food but what I ate only gave me discomfort. My liver was torped, and often I had to be carried to the door for air to save me from suffering. "The worst was the pain which scened as if my thigh were being pushed out of my body. The best doctors could do was to deaden it by maracotics. Once they thought I could not live for more than two days. In one of my worst attacks, a friend said : 'Why don't you try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills? They are the only thing that ever helped my rheumatism.' "I look his advice. After using one box I felt better, and I continued to use the pills for three or four months with steady improvement until I was well. For four years I have been able to do all my household work, and no longer have to take medicine for any serious trouble. I gave one box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to a man on crutches because of rheumatism and advised my market woman to take it when she was ill. I heard he was soon able to throw his crutches away, and she told me she had got rid of the rheumatism by the use of one box and could not thank me too much." Testimony multiplies as to the magnificent curative powers of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in cases of rheumatism, neuralgia, nerves headache, palpitation of the heart and all forms of weakness in either male or female. They are sold by all druggists throughout the world. During the football season the yeller peril is ever present. "What is worse than the sting of a wasp?" asks an Ohio editor. Two wasps!

THROWN ON THE COURT'S MERCY END OF FAMOUS MINING CASE Napoleon of Finance of the White Swan Mining Co.-His Sentence is Delayed-Balliet Refuses to Talk-Plea of Guilty is to Save Expense Des Moines, Nov. 17.-Leston Balliet, accused and once convicted of defrauding through the mails, known as a "Napoleon of finance," has pleaded guilty to the charges against him and has thrown himself upon the mercy of the court. The plea was entered by his attorney, Judge George H. Carr, yesterday afternoon in the United States district court before Judge Smith McPherson. Judge Carr was accompanied by the father of the accused, Judge S. F. Balliet. Judge McPherson announced that sentence would not be imposed for fraud. Judge Munger of Omaha heard the trial before. It consumed several weeks, and some of the testimony was long time and finally returned a verdict of guilty. Balliet got eighteen months' sentence and a heavy fine, and appealed to the United States Court of Appeals which reversed the decision. The opinion of that court was of a character which indicated that the defense would better plead guilty than to the guilty trial, and this was decided upon. The plovet of the case was the intent of Balliet to defraud. The government alleged that he circulated advertisements for which he made charnous sums of money to him, and that the revenue he derived from stock sales went into this exploitation instead of into the development or the mining property. He denied that he had no intention of spending the revenue he received on the mine and that he had no intention of exploiting the exploitation of himself as a Cecil Rhodes and in advertising the stock so as to acquire a greater revenue out of it. The question rose as to whether the court might assume his intent in the sale of the stock by his firm, and that it was truly the defense showed that he had funds on hand, that he had plans for the future development of the property and that what he expended had been legitimately spent in furthering the interests of the company; but the mine and that had been done by him, and that the advertisements were paid in exploitation, weighed against him in determining his intent. Facing this legal situation, with adverse decision on the point of intent, it was deemed better to enter a plea of guilty and await the judgment of the court, admissible in mercy. FREIGHT RATES INEQUITABLE. Gov. Cummins Says Interstate Ad- Justice is full of inequities. Dubuque, Iowa, Governor Albert Benton, in a minibus, in a Dubuque yesterday, went on record as favoring the establishment of a government tribunal empowered to fix, adjust, revise and recreate interstate freight rates, and declared himself prepared to prove that the "present adjustment of these rates, full of the government's utilities," Governor Cummins' address was the feature of the day's session and created quite a sensation. Its reception by all present was a most flattering compliment to the governor, who was interrupted by the heartiest applause and when he had concluded there was a spontaneous outburst that lasted several minutes. Then every delegate and others present surrounded the governor and congratulations were given to him, which was delivered in the most interesting and eloquent manner that the governor has ever been heard here.

"The history of our country and our state records many good years, but we have seen no year so rich in the gifts of Providence, so laden with the favors of nature, and so fruitful with the gifts of art and craft, drawing to its end. Peace and good order have prevailed. Free government has been vindicated by still further experience. Good morals have been more firmly established. Wise leaders have been more fair and fair fairs. The people have had opportunity to labor, and the rewards of honest toll have increased. The sentiment for uprightness, both in private and official life, has been strengthened. Among our citizens, prosperity has been the rule; adversity the exception. "To summarize it all, while the goal toward which we are striving is far off, our faces are turned in the direction of the future, to be done, much has been done, and well done. A consideration of these most gratifying conditions should bring us to the day of thanksgiving deeply grateful for the tender care and kindness of the Divine Leader of mankind. "Now, therefore, I, Albert B. Cummins, governor of the state of Iowa, in harmony with the action already taken by the president of the United States, do hereby appoint Thursday, the twenty-fourth day of November, instant, as a day of thanksgiving; and I earnestly request that throughout the year, we build their ordinary avocations and spend the day in such manner as to them will most fittingly express their gratitude to God for His love for the sons and daughters of men, and for His guidance in all their affairs."

WILL BE WAR TO BITTER END Categorically Denies Possibility of Intervention—Sees No Possibility of Ending War Until Victory Is Won By Russia. Washington, Nov. 15.—"Russia will pursue the war in the far east to the bitter end, that is, until Russia has conquered." These are the opening words of an emphatic statement made at the Russian embassy today by Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador. Several times recently the ambassador, in the name of his government, has categorically denied the possibility of any intervention in the war, but the recurrence of rumors that the powers contemplated mediation has caused the ambassador to reiterate on behalf of his government its position regarding intervention or mediation of any kind. The statement continues: "I deem it my duty to reiterate what I have so often said, that Russia will not suspend in any case her military operations in the far east. All rumors and reports remain true, and direct overtures for peace which Japan is said to have made to Russia, and regarding the mediation of the powers in my opinion, are started for the purpose of convincing the public that the end of the war is close at hand. In this way it is hoped that the enemy may be led to believe that Japanese loans offer attractive investments. "Russia can no more admit of interference than Great Britain can in the Transvaal; than could the United States in her war with Spain. There the presence of a country is necessary and must be put aside. Some people may think that fiscal difficulties will influence Russia to end hostilities. "Such an opinion is based on the false assumption of Russia's fiscal resources. There is no doubt whatever the government needs, it receives one billion dollars, cannot be influenced in her attitude toward the outcome of the war by the amount of war expenditures. Is it not altogether out of the question that Russia, who did not expect war, should receive her army and is sending corps after corps in fighting readiness to the far east, suddenly call a halt on hostilities, particularly after she has for nearly a year, without any difficulty or recourse to extraordinary measures to carry all the extra expenses? "It is not within my scope to comment upon the now 'Japanese loan. That is an affair for the bankers and for the public who are able to decide what advantages or disadvantages the investment offers. But there can be no necessity for commending upon Russian banks with the Paris exchange is able to convince himself of the solidity of Russia's finances." MISSOURI FOR ROOSEVELT Folk, Democrat, Is Given Good Plus rality for Governor. St. Louis, Nov. 12—After three days in which every effort to secure complete and accurate returns has been exhausted, the Republic (democrat) and the Globe-Democrat (republican) have met in the morning showing the result of the election in Missouri for president and governor. According to the figures received by the Globe-Democrat, the republicans earned a plurality of the ticket by a plurality of 30,923. While the result of the Republican's canvass also gives a republican victory, its total is much lower. Roosevelt having a plurality of 29,923, the figures secured by the two papers agree more closely on the result of the gubernatorial election, the Globe-Democrat giving Folk, (democrat) a plurality of 29,956, and the Republican giving a plurality of 26,983.

Colson, a well known resident of this place, and he does not hesitate to say that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills. The reason Mr. Colson is so firm in his opinion is that he had those terrible pains and is cured. Speaking of the pain, "I am only too happy to say Dodd's Kidney Pills have done me lots of good. I had awful pains in my hip so I could hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney Pills stopped it entirely. I think they are a grand medicine." All scilatic and Rheumatic pains are caused by Uric Acid in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kidneys, and healthy Kidneys strain all the Uric Acid out of the blood. With the cause removed there can be no Rheumatism or Sclatica.

No one knows how the custom of appointing Thursday originated, but some light is doubtless thrown on the subject by a controversy over a proposal to change the day of the week, about 1690, when the dissenters argued that Thursday was preferable, because of the Thursday lectures, or midweek religious services, that took place every week in communities of considerable size, a joint observance of the two days rendering it unnecessary, of course, for many to sacrifice a day's labor, especially for Thanksgiving. Although the pilgrims were the first to observe Thanksgiving on this continent, the Salem colonists, on their voyage over here in 1629, observed Thanksgiving on shipboard, in which everybody, passengers, captain and crew, took part, as an acknowledgment of a favorable breeze that had followed a preceding day of fasting and prayer. *Winthrop colony, in 1630, also observed a Thanksgiving, apparently entirely without any inspiration from the pilgrims, but in accordance with their former custom in England, the motive in this case having been gratitude for the safe arrival of their fleet at Charlestown, where purely religious services were held beneath a tree, for it was in hot weather, July 8. The Winthrop colony's second Thanksgiving here, which is commonly spoken of by historians as their first, was about eight months later, Feb. 22, when having moved over to the peninsula of Shawmut and taken up their abode in log houses, huts, hovels and even holes in the side of Beacon hill, their number sadly depleted by diseases caused by purified food, and even absolute starvation, the arrival of their fellow townsmans, Capt. William Peirce, with a shipload of provisions from Ireland, and, best of all, "good store of lemon juice" to arrest the ravages of the scurry, furnished them with good cause for devout thanksgiving and gastronomic dissipation as well. The colony probably comprised 200 or less, no church had yet been built, and it is doubtful if there was any public religious observance of the day. Neither can the bill of fare of any of the households have been sumptuous, according to our ideas, judged by the record of the ship's cargo, which shows that the best the Boston cuisine could have then af- forced was corned beef or boiled salt park, oatmeal or wheatmeal mush, without milk or sirup, and ship's biscuit with cheese. Yet who shall say it was not deemed a rich feast, when we learn from one who participated in it that a repast consisting of "meal, water and a little salt, boiled together, was so good that none could ask for a better meal." Digestion was facilitated by copious drafts of ale, if it could be had, from a single large pewter or wooden tankard, which was passed around from one to another at the table, after the fashion of the modern loving cup. The household environment of those early Boston martyrs who had come 3,000 miles into the savage wilderness, to escape persecution, was as rude and as simple as their bill of fare. Household furniture there was practically none, save a table of rough boards or planks, and enough treelegged stools to accommodate the members of the family. There were tablecloths of very coarse linen, but neither table divines nor forks, the fingers and spoons of either wood or iron meeting all the requirements of the then prevailing table etiquette; china was unknown, and as tea and coffee had never been heard of, the cream pitcher and the sugar bowl were not needed. Trenchers, usus or plates or platters, were made by scooping out a hollow in a piece of plank, about 10 or 12 inches square. For sixty or seventy years, if not longer, the religious phase of Thanksgiving differed in no appreciable way from Sunday, from six to seven hours having been spent in church, divided between forenoon and afternoon. It is evident that in those days the dinner must have been decidedly a minor affair. It was not till 1721 that the afternoon service was abolished, against vigorous protests from some of the church members, although the change was brought about by fear of the smallpox, then prevalent in the town. A third Thanksgiving was observed in the Massachusetts colony Nov. 11, 1621, to express the popular joy at the arrival of Gov. Winthrop's wife and another shipload of provisions from the old country. Whatever may have been the bill of fare of the average Boston family on that day, one family, at least, must have enjoyed a beautiful and variegated dinner, for the country people who poured into Boston on the arrival of the ship, a few days before Thanksgiving, overwhelmed the governor and his wife with gifts of fat hogs, kids, poultry, venison and other kinds of game. During the succeeding fifty years there appear to have been Thanksgivings averaging about once in two years, and appointed to mark some specific and remarkable event, as a victory in the Indian wars, or a happy solution of some troublesome problem, either religious or political. During all those years, and for many afterward, fast days were even more numerous than Thanksgivings, because the trials of the Puritans far exceeded their blessings. In some instances there were serious differences between the general court, which then appointed Thanksgiving, the magistrates and the ministers—for the latter always advised in the matter—as to which was proper for the occasion, a thanksgiving or a fast. It is to be noted that the custom of appointing a Thanksgiving simply as an annual custom, and without regard to any specific or important occasion was almost unknown until well into the last century and was never habitual till within the last thirty years. Indeed, the theory was advanced more than 200 years ago that a too frequent observance of Thanksgiving, and for insufficient cause, tended to make men "too carnal-minded." A printed proclamation of that Thanksgiving, the earliest broadside of its kind known to be in existence now, is in the library of the Massachusetts historical society. The general tone of the composition reminds one of another Thanksgiving, some years later, which was observed only in Boston, for the purpose of thanking heaven for sparing Boston, while Charlestown, across the river, was threatened with depopulation by the yellow fever. A Boston menu of this period, which is in striking contrast with the early dinner of corned beef and mush, enumerates roast beef, turkey pie, boiled pork, fowls and tarts. Plymouth, which was not yet united to the Massachusetts colony, had its Thanksgiving that year Aug. 17, five days after the killing of King Philip in Rhode Island, and it so happened that Major Church and his little band of heroes arrived in Plymouth just at the close of the Thanksgiving foronion service, bringing the great chief's head, which was borne by the major's Indian guide, who had himself shot Phillip. 900 DROPS CASTORIA A Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS & CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest.

Public Labor Exchanges France is going to try the experiment of suppressing paying employment agencies and to conduct a public labor exchange in connection with the local municipal government, a register setting forth the offers and demands for work and situations to be maintained at the mayor's office in each community of less than 10,000 inhabitants, and larger communes are to conduct free municipal agencies. Factories for Mexico. Mexico is bidding for industries and she is getting them on a large scale. Great factories are being erected in every part of the republic and their products are being protected by the laws of the country. Hundreds of thousands of people who were once idle have learned to work in the mills and factories which have been started. Odorless Flowers The majority of flowers have no perfume whatever. A chemist, who has for some time been making researches into the subject, declares that out of 4,119 varieties known and cultivated in Europe, scarcely 400 have any odor, and of these nearly fifty have an odor which is, if anything, disagreeable. Origin of Golden Bee Emblem. It is said that when the tomb of Childleir, a king of the first Frankish dynasty in the fifth century, was opened in the seventeenth century hundreds of golden bees were found in it. So when the French empire was established the golden bee was adopted as one of its emblems. Modern Foot Is Smaller. It is asserted by a sculptor that the human foot is becoming smaller. The masculine foot of twenty centuries ago was about twelve inches long. The average man's foot of to-day is easily fitted with a No. $ \frac{1}{2} $ shoe, which is not above ten inches and seven-sixteenths in length. Production of Rubber The general impression prevails that rubber is a product like wheat or corn to be obtained from a given tree. The idea is quite erroneous. It has been estimated that 1,000 different species contain rubber, though commercial quantities have been obtained from only forty or fifty. Jews in New York. According to the most authoritative estimates, there are now about 700,000 Jews in New York, the total population of which in 1903, as estimated by the census bureau, was 3,716,139. Perhaps the Jews may be about one-fifth of the present population. As to Eyebrows. "I always look at a man's eye brows before employing him," says a successful tradesman.

But too many idlers, tramps and beggars in our cities, and in the country regions also, turn deaf ears to such appeals and refuse tempting opportunities to earn honest and comfortable living. The vagrant spirit, the "dead-beat" centre to get along without working, is too conspicuous everywhere.—New York Tribune. Fall Millinery.. NEW STYLES OF Fashionable Millinery has arrived here.
