BUXTON, IA I regard your Buxton Souviner number a great issue well illustrated with good editorials. LEWI E. JOHNSON, SEC. Y. M. C. A. BUXTON, IA Accept congratulations, it was O. K send me 25 extra copies. C, N. SELLERS, BUXTON, IA Des Moines, Iowa. Sir: This comes to express my congratulation to you upon the very timely able editorial which appeared in the Bystander the 17th under the caption, "Colored Minutels a Monance to Progress." I am not an enemy to the stage at all; I am liberal enough to confess with others and all who are familiar with the progress the race has made, along all lines, that there are many Negro artists before the public today, who honor the race and do credit to the stage, but I have never been able yet to see anything uplifting for the race in a Negro minstrel. Such shows are only readers of prejudice, and place the race in a very wrong light before the white people. The caricatures of the Negro as Thomas Dixon Jr. has in his "Clansman" are precisely what the better class of white people are sick and tired of seeing the Negro act a fool. It was the hobo, cheap white trash with their smell of revelry, their soiled linen, their very presence presented a heedless spectacle indeed, while beside them sat Des Moines four hundred, Des Moines swallows, Des Moines best society. Old men and old women vied with each other to out run their children to get there, while on Sunday they abuse the preacher because their children are not being converted. Gne young man was bold enough to say, even though his words bespoke a reverence for the church of which he was no member, to say to me, "I looked for Graves, Porter, Johnson and Griffith; there were so many high church people there." Don't worry young man, this quartett may have their faults but they will never be made a fool of or suffer to act one away from home, and not even at home when company is present. The time has come wher the Negro must stop laughing so much if he would not be laughed at, and if he would be able to demand respect he must respect himself. Mothers, (there is not much expected of fathers any way by children, so far as setting example) if you want your girls to go to hell in six months, and your sons to join some cheap show company, remain from home six months and come back home wrecks for life, you take them up and go to every cheap show that comes to town. PEN HORACE N. GRAVES With Only One Toe It is not generally known that the small feet of Chinese ladies have commonly but one toe. This is, however, the fact. The great toe of the females of the first rank, and some of the inferior classes also, is the only one left to act with any freedom; the rest are doubled down under the foot in their tenderest infancy, and retained by compressed and tight bandages till they unite with, and are burted in, the sole.

One of the latest publications in the form of a book is the new book entitled "The Story of the Congo Free State," by Henry Wellington Wack, F. R. G. S. of New York, who is a member of the New York bar. The book deals with the social, political and economic aspect of the Belgian system of government in Central Africa. The book is beautifully illustrated with half tone and water color cuts of the natives, their industries and progress, also the work of the missionaries. In the preface of this volume the author says: "As a student of Mid-African affairs for the past seven years, and a close observer of the rapid progress toward complete civilisation now being made in that part of the world, I have felt it my duty to lay before my countrymen the true and complete story of the conception, formation and development of the Congo Free State. At a period of such bitter controversy concerning the government of the Congo Free State as the present, it is necessary that I should explain the circumstances under which I add this volume to the literature of that subject." Copies of this book can be procured of G. P. Putnan Son, s New York or London.

The Mail and Times the social paper of our city which is printed in magazine form is a beauty this last week as it is a special library number well illustrated with half tone cuts of many authors, also many private libraries of the homes of our leading citizens. HOUSEHOLD ECONOMICS. We are glad to note the activeness of some of our chairmen. A meeting that becomes active only at convention time harms instead of helps. Mrs. Anna Bettus and Mrs. Amy Junkins sends out the following circular on household economics. It has been said, "All good comes to those who wait," and we will not decry the virtue of patience; but can the present homemakers afford to wait until they are relegated to grandmother's armchair before they see the ideal home. Homes are the manufaeturers of men and as the homes are so will the men be. Need we then vex ourselves over so many social problems when there are so many needed reform in our homes. "The home is the center of the universe and the mistress is the center of the home." In her hands are the keys of home happiness. She is the disbursing end of the marriage partnership and on the wisdom of the spending depends the financial prosperity of the family; on efficient home management depends the comfort and happiness of the family; on proper care and guidance by the mother depends in a large measure the character and life success of the children; on the selection of the food and preparation, together with the sanitary character and care of the house, depends largely the health of the family; on prompt action in emergencies, on the immediate recognition of disease, and on proper care in, convalescence oftentimes depends the saving of life itself. In view of these facts, the committee recommend, that as far as possible each club inaugurate a department for the study "Household economics." That clubs send their papers to the Reciprocity Bureau distribution among clubs generally. We recommend the following subjects for discussion. Household Hygiene: Dampness, darkness, dirt; importance of sunshine, window ventilation, ventilation at night, sources of drinking water, surface water, water, etc. Principles of cookery: waste through injudicious buying. The value of fruit as a food, milk as a food, as a poison. Eggs:-their many uses, composition, food depending on eggs for lightness. The food value of meats M. Varieties of flour. We further recommend that each club correspond with the committee concerning this work and report papers sent to the Reciprocity bureau. Mrs. Amy Jankins. FORESTRY COMMITTEE Mrs. Georgia Gray of Cedar Rapids sends out the following circular for the sake of forestry: Believing that many things concerning this work must be taken up in spring summer and autumn I hasten to outline our work. The committee would call your special attention to the general outlook and special character of forestry work that has engaged most largely the activities of the clubs of the General Federation. Thirty-four states have taken up this work and the committees are enthusiastically spreading the propaganda of tree planting and forest preservation. A very general activity is manifest throughout the length and breadth of country in arboriculture or lined on both sides by trees for you have seen it beautifully. Than let us plant trees on the highways as a first step to village improvement. We would encourage the planting of fruit trees in our yards, they are serviceable, not alone for shade. Second: Let us have pretty yards, it is an attractive setting for any home. Plant your gardens artistically and add a few flowers here and there. Third: we would encourage little journeys to the woods, that we may get acquainted with the trees; that we may learn more and more of the beautiful world at the beauty spread out before us, that our hearts will swell with love for nature, for mankind, and above all for the creator. TOPICS. The object and need of forest preservation. Tree planting on streets and highways. The economic value of birds to the state. Artistic home gardens. We sincerely hope all clubs who take up this work will report to the committee. Number of visits to the woods; number of trees identified; number of birds discovered; number of trees planted. MRS. G.

If Thomas Dixon who is the author of the "Clausman" has a sane mind it is very likely when he publishes another book, he will not make suub fligrant and falacious statement, it seems as though the leading papers throughout the United States as well as a number of literary connoisseur have expressed their displeasure of his book in manner which is not very encouraging to a man who is supposed to have at least a fair education and a would be author.

They take everything as a matter of course, and imagine that they show their superiority by so doing. They little dream that they never get the best service owing to their niggardiness in showing their appreciation. It is surprising how a little word of praise stimulates to new effort, and puts life and interest into the work of those about French Duel Lasted Long A duel, which was fought in Paris recently lasted nearly two hours and a half. There were twenty-three encounters, and as neither man was touched the second declared that the two opponents gave proof of an equal courage and insisted on recognition. Blance for a Month A curious custom prevails in Bulgaria which must be a hard penalty for the woman who loves to hear the sound of her own voice. All newly-married women are obliged to remain dumb for a month after marriage, except when addressed by their husbands. When it is desirable to remove this restriction permanently the husband presents her with a gift, and then she can chatter to her heart's content. Seeking a Wife. When a man wants a wife he does not apply to the intelligence office nor to the secretary of the reform club. He doesn't ask a woman if she can make good pie crusts and darn socks so they won't be knotty—Not nowadays at any rate. He just goes blindfolded into a ballroom or a pigtail tea or a fancy dress fair and walks out idiotically happy with a rose in his mental buttonhole—Reefer: Rowland's "Digressions of Polly."

Although only seventeen years of age, she had the record of having filled eleven lovers in two years. The eleventh put a close to her promising career by plunging a dagger in her heart. A peculiar custom prevails in regard to interments in the cemetery at Labruck, Connemara, Ireland. A box of short clay pipes is brought with the coffin, and a pipe with to bacco is served out to each male mourner. The pipes in the coffin itself has been filleted in and the ashes are solemnly knocked out on the grave and the pipes are broken and left behind. No bird, beast or creeping thing will touch a castor-oil plant. It is shunned by all animals.

Fraser, Idaho, May 27th (Special)—Mrs. Martha M. J. Lee has given for publication the following statement, concerning Dodd's Kidney Pills: "I was down with Rheumatism three times," she says, "and each time Dodd's Kidney Pills helped me. The last time they cured me, and now I am able to get around and do all my work, though I am fifty-five and I have Sunday school every Sunday. Before I took Dodd's Kidney Pills I was so bad I could use neither hand nor foot. I shall keep Dodd's Pills on hand all the time." Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid crystallizing in the muscles. Healthy kidneys remove all Uric Acid from the blood. Diseased Kidneys cannot remove this Acid which collects in the blood and poles every vein and artery. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure Rheumatism by curing the Kidneys; by healing and strengthening them, so that they can rid the blood of all impurities.

One-third of the Dominican navy is now at the Norfolk navy yard for repairs. It consists of the 600-ton gunnoat Presidente, which hasn't been overhauled before for seven years.

A play is to be brought out in New York with John D. Rockefeller and Ida M. Tarbell as two of the principal haracters. Let us hope, in the interests of propriety, that there may be no rig pulling. New Jersey joests of a men 76 ears old who can neither read nor write and has seen only one loomocive, and that at a distance of half a mile. Only think of boasting of a man like that! King Alfonso killed forty-one wolf girls while he was out hunting with the kaiser. This doesn't mean necessarily that he would be willing to help our Yankee farmers with their pig killing if he should come over here. The amount of letter writing that is lone daily in New York is illustrated by the fact that 235,000 letters on an average are collected there every day between 4:30 and 7:30 p. m. and they aren't all love letters, either. In order to prove that the eternal feminine does not change with the procession of the centuries, it is only necessary to point out the fact that every time a woman becomes a great genius she marries a millionaire. Walter Vaughan Morgan, the new Lord Mayor of London, being a bachelor, has selected his niece, Mrs. Hornby Steer, to be the lady mayors. In the absence of particulars, we are inclined to suppose that Mrs. Steer is from Texas. There have been 165 accidents among mountain climbers in the Alps this year, of which sixty-five were fatal. Lazy people have never been able to understand why mountain climbers should be willing thus to risk their lives. Hear from Chancellor E. Benjamin Andrews: "Played under due supervision, football breeds not callousness but kindness and restraint." Somebody has fooled the gentleman. He has been watching a game of croquet.-Chicago News. The Emperor of Japan has summed Field Marshal Oyama to report concerning his campaign against the Russians. Owing to the fact that Oyama didn't once regret to report, the emperor has probably had no means of finding out what happened. (From the Chicago Journal, Nov. 9, 1905.) When Commissioner Garfield went to the Chicago packers and asked permission to inspect their books, the condition was made that no information he might obtain therefrom would be used in court proceedings against them. Mr. Garfield gave this pledge, it is stable, and the packers allowed him to study their business in all its details from the inside. Now it is announced, the results of his study have been turned over to the government department of justice to be employed in legal prosecution of the packers. Commissioner Garfield would not have ventured to give the pledge that was demanded by the packers without instructions from Washington. He pledged, no matter what, but the government's, it is not his good faith, but the government's, that is in question now. The Jour. it has no concern for the packers, except as they are citizens of Chicago. If it can be proved that they are guilty of engaging in a conspiracy in restraint of trade, they ought to be punished. But their guilt, if they are guilty, must be fairly proved. They must be given a square deal. The government has elevated its vision to such a height as to overlook the nest of defiant criminal trusts in New Jersey, almost within the shadow of the capitol dome, in order to fasten itself a thousand miles away upon Chicago, the government and the President cannot be too careful to avoid suspicion that they are more anxious to prosecute western offenders than offenders in the east. Some of the methods already employed in this case have not been particularly distinguished for decency. When the government breaks into a packhouse, it dumps his private papers, when it dries the bags of pack-house employees into court and puts them under heavy bonds, it is hardly dignified, not to say honorable, nor even respectable. A new industry has been started by a stenographer in Berlin. He attends the funerals of prominent persons and takes down verbatim the addresses of the officiating clergymen. He prepares engrossed copies of these and sells them to the friends of the enologged dead. He is doing a profitable trade.

Every housekeeper should know that if you will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—whole loaf of Cold Water Starch put in 8% package packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12 oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. Defiance Starch is printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 oz." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks.

A Hungarian of Presburg has invented a washing machine which cleans clothes by electricity.

Langton tells a story of an occasion when he was invited to go with a yachting-party on Long Island Sound, and couldn't make it. "Just for a joke," he relates, "I sent a note to my host saying that I was sorry I couldn't go, but he could make it right by just sending me what he thought I would have won on the trip. That evening a bob brought a message, collect, and the message ran: 'Dear Langton: You lost $37.45. Please remit by bearer.' "And what you do, deceived him, "money." Not so, you sent him across the note, "Opened by mistake—J. H. L., and fired it back. The boy collected double charges on the other end." CONVINCING EVIDENCE That Dr. Williams' Pink Pilts Will Cure Rheumatism. "People can cure themselves of a good many common ailments at a very small cost if they go about it the right way," said Mr. Hoare, recently. "For instance, I have just cured myself of a very painful disease. I might have begun to treat it sooner, that's all the misinformation, and the difficulty and I picked out the right remedy without the aid of a doctor. "It was really all in my blood. I first felt a twinge in my left foot and ankle in the middle of last January, following exposure to cold. Now I feel really warm from bad blood. Cold simply develops it. Then my hands and feet were cold and clammy even in hot weather, and numb a great part of the time. I conceive that I am sick and poor and the circulation sluggish. After a time my feet and ankles swelled so badly that I could only tie my shoes half way up. My legs swelled so much that I could barely distance before giving out completely. "When I read of the curse of all kinds of blood diseases, that had been effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I was convinced that they were just the remedy for the disease, and I see that they were benefiting me before I had quite used up the first box. The improvement was decidedly marked after I had taken two boxes. Three more boxes restored my hands and feet and legs to natural size and feeling and strength. I have been living and have since been perfectly well." Mr. F. Le Roy Hoover lives at No. 132 Constitution street, Bristol. R. I.

FIRE AGENTS MAY BE PROSECUTED For Violations of the Famous Blanchard Law During Last Year. BUT IT IS HARDLY POSSIBLE Auditor Carroll Declines to be Quoted to his *As His Plans—De Moines Underwriters' Club* has been Abandoned. Des Moines, Nov. 29.—Speculation is indulged in among insurance men as to whether the fire insurance underwriters who were instrumental in forming the clubs through the state after the decision of Judge McPherson against the validity of the Blanchard anti-compact law, are in danger of prosecution under that act for violations of it pending the appeal to the supreme court of the United States which has just reversed Judge McPherson and has upheld the validity of the statute. There is some legal question as to whether the agents who were in those organizations, formerly prohibited by the Blanchard law, may be amenable to the law for the things done on the strength of the McPherson opinion, even pending the appeal. Auditor Carl said yesterday that he could not answer the fact that he did not answer in his office. He will cross the bridge when he comes to it. The fire agents are given credit for having observed the letter of the law until the decision of Judge McPherson, which seemed to destroy the act. It is assumed by the authorities that they will immediately give heed to the decision of the highest tribunal. The decision of that court, incidentally, absolutely disposes of the case, which does not come on for rehearing on account of the reversal of Judge McPherson. The Des Molnes Underwriters' club through' which the agreement to adhere to uniform rates on fire risks was maintained in this city, was abolished yesterday at a meeting of the members. George C. Newman, who has been secretary of the club and stamping agent, resigned and henceforth the agents will act independently. SPECULATION NOT FORM OF GAMBLING Des Moines, Nov. 25—An Iowa court for the first time has decided that speculation on the board of trade is not a form of gambling. In a case tried in the Dallas county court before Judge Applegate the jury late Saturday evening gave its decision that a speculative contract made by W. Heiss of Perry with the firm of Ware & Leland, members of the Chicago board of trade, was legal and binding. Heiss bought wheat for delivery last September, at a time when the markt was widely fluctuating. The decline was greater than the credit of Mr. Heiss with the brokerage firm amounted to and he was called on for margins amounting to $1,050. This he refused to pay and when sued for the markt made the defense claim that the contract was of a gambling nature not binding. The decision of Judge Applegate is of much importance and interest to board of trade men in all parts of the country. So far as can be ascertained this is the first time that an Iowa court has uphold a contract of trade firm for future deliveries. In giving instructions to the jury, Judge Applegate drew the definition that a contract was legal and binding, provided one party or the other made it in good faith that the commodity would be actually delivered. Ware would have delivered gifts, presented evidence that actual delivery was offered. NEWTON FACTORY IS DESTROYED BY FIRE Newton, Nov. 27.—The factory of the Hawkeye incubator company of this city was totally destroyed by fire early morning yesterday, with a loss of about $25,000, with only about $1,300 insurance. The alarm was turned in at 3:15, and the two fire companies rushed at once to the fire, but not in time to save the main building and adjoining room alone was saved. The content of both buildings was totally destroyed. The main factory is a two story brick building, 60x100 feet and the shed 60x100 feet. A large amount of the stock for the year was on hand, as the incubator season was just opening. Several cars of lumber has just been received, which was all destroyed. The cars will of the factory building fell into the street, but no one was injured. The fire originated in the paint shop on the second floor, but the cause is unknown. The total loss may reach $30,000. Four Leading Business Firms Are Burned Out. Adel, Nov. 30—Fire of an un known origin, which was discovered at an early hour yesterday morning resulted in a loss of about $65,000, destroying four brick buildings and much of their contents. H. V. Rickerson's clothing store, Heston's drug store, Riggs' dry goods store and the store of the Adel Furniture Co., were the heavy losers. Des Moines sent a fire chief, some men and a chemical engine. Murderer Given Life Sentence. Sigourney, Nov. 25—Johnston T. Martin, convicted of the murder of Arthur Lynch last December, was yesterday sentenced to the pleuplary at Fort Madison for life. Independence, Nov. 25.—Mrs. William McWilliams and her five children were yesterday afternoon found murdered in the kitchen of their farm home six miles south of Independence. Their skills had all been crushed with a carpenter's hammer, while their bodies were literally butchered with a large knife. The husband and father, William McWilliams was arrested here last night and there is every evidence that he was the perperator of the horrible crime. Opinion is divided as to whether he is insane, or whether he killed his family out of murderous malice. Late last night he was being put through a "sweat box" inquisition in the hope of being forced to confess to his deed. Never before have the criminal annals of this section of the state borne the record of so brutal a murder. The victims had evidently been called in one at a time into the kitchen, where the bodies were round in a row, and struck with a hammer, not once, but many times, until dead. Then the murderer hacked and stabbed at each lifeless body until it was horribly mutilated. The mother apparently had been at work preparing dinner when she met her fate, for when the murder was discovered a meal was still on the stove cooking, and there were other evidences of the interrupted preparation of a meal. The oldest child, a son 18 years of age had evidently been called from a corn floor near by, for, as he lay on the floor, he had on a pair of husking gloves and he was otherwise attire for work. The babe of the family a little toot not more than two or three years old, had been called from its place and it had in its lifeless hands a piece of bread and butter, one blow had suffused for it, and the inhuman fluid placed its lifeless body in the arms of its mother. The only evidence of a struggle was found in the death of the oldest daughter of the household, a young girl of 16 her hands were badly cut, as though she had grasped the murderer known to her right. Two of her children were about 10 and 8 years old respectively. The crime was first discovered by a milkman named Sanders, who regularly visits the McWilliams every other day. He called at about 4 o'clock yesterday to get his milk, amount of milk, but found no one in the kitchen. He walked to the kitchen, looked in and there saw the six bodies in a row. He has tended away to give the alarm and officers at once started for the scene of the crime. They found McWilliams nowhere about the house or premises, but they discovered an abandoned suit of clothes of his which he had taken home. Blood. They extended their search for him and last evening located him in Independence, when he was taken into custody. McWilliams has for some years been considered a peculiar man, especially since he suffered a sunstroke about two years ago, which has been with him, having little with his neighbors, and at times displaying an ugly disposition. Independence, Nov. 28.—The coroner's jury last night returned a verdict holding that Mrs. McWilliams and five children, who were found dead in the house of their death at the hands of William McWilliams, the husband and father, who is now in jail here. The evidence before the coroner's jury simply substantiated the preceding stories of the crime. Relatives of the victims were guilty and testified that he has had insane spells for the past four years. FIRE INSURANCG COMPANIES LOSE Washington, Nov. 28.—In an important opinion handed down by the United States Supreme court yesterday, Judge Smith McPherson was fatally reversed in the case of Beryl F. Carroll, auditor, vs. the Greenwich Fire Insurance company of New York and other fire insurance companies. Justice Holmes delivered the opinion of the court and upheld the constitutionality of the Blanchard law of 1836 prohibiting fire insurance companies in Iowa from entering into combinations or agreements as to rates, commissions, etc. The decision is a victory for Attorneys General Mullan, who, with Co. Chase A. Clark of Cedar Rapids, recently granted the constitutionality of the law before the court. The case has attracted much attention in the east, because of the large number of foreign fire insurance companies doing business in Iowa that were interested.

CONSUMPTION St. Louis Jury Returns Verdict Against the Famous Statesman. USED INFLUENCE OF OFFICE Practiced as a Lawyer Before Post-office Department—Will File Bill of Exceptions to Verdict and Appeal to the Supreme Court. St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 26.—Senator J. R. Burton of Kansas was last night found guilty on all six counts in the indictment upon which he has been on trial for the last week in the United States circuit court charging him with having agreed to accept and having accepted compensation from the Rialto Grain and Securities company of St. Louis, to appear for the company in the capacity of an attorney before the postoffice department. The case was given to the jury at 10:35 and at 12:56h this morning the verdict of guilty was returned. Senator Burton was ordered to appear in court at 10 o'clock Monday morning, when his counsel announced, a bill of exceptions would be presented and an appeal asked for. Court threw out the bill. Senator Burton, on advice of his counsel, refused to discuss the verdict. Senator Burton was indicted on eight counts, two of which were quashed before the case went to trial. The penalty provided by the statute is not more than two years imprisonment, but the judge ordered each count and a forfeiture forever of the right of holding a position of trust or profit under the United States government. Unless the verdict is reversed in the supreme court, Senator Burton's case in the upper body of the national court will be vacant. The term for which he was ejected expires March 4, 1907. Washington, D. C. Nov. 28. -The situation between Turkey and the European powers having become so serious during the last few days, great interest is felt in military and naval circles in the question of the Turkish defenses of the Dardenelles. Turks have a good deal of money on the defenses of this island, and it is expected that she can put up a successful fight against a modern fleet. The principal fortifications of the Dardenne, which is a narrow strait of about three miles in length, are found on the end nearest the sea of Marmora. At the entrance in the Algean there are two old castles transformed into new fortifications and grow again much smaller and at that point the chief fortifications are built. The Dardenne at that point are about three miles broad, then growing larger and afterward grow again much smaller and at that point the chief fortifications are built. The Dardenne at that point is divided into two straights by a small island. On the other side there are other fortifications. The first of these has twenty-one Krupp guns of 35 centimeters. On the Asiate side there are 35 centimeters. On the Asiate side there are fortifications. One of these has twelve Krupp guns of 35 centimeters each. These fortifications are manned by two regiments. Their position is strong and as they are situated on the high banks of the straits they are able to hold up a much larger naval force without much danger to themselves. The only way to make them secure is by hey on the land from the high hill on the land side. To prevent this a continual line of fortifications have been built closing the peninsula off from the European side. These fortifications have all been built under the supervision of European military authorities and are well armed with the newest guns. An attacking fleet will have the advantage of having to proceed one by one, and without much delay, the naval missions could take some of the Turkish islands the opinion of many naval officers here is that they will not be likely to try to sall up to Constantinople. St. Petersburg, Nov. 23. —The workman's council threatens the country with another general strike to compel the employers of St. Petersburg, who locked out about 70,000 men yesterday, to reopen their doors. The men had refused to return to work under the old conditions. Delegates have been dispatched to cities in the interior to ascertain whether they will support the movement. Destitution is causing many workmen here to turn against the agitators. During the last strike actual starvation prevailed. The men had more money than they would or he'd need. There were cases of workmen remaining naked in bed at home, having pawned every stitch of clothing to relieve the hunger of their families and themselves. Chicago, Dec. 1—The football season, ending yesterday, shows a total of nineteen killed and 203 seriously injured. Of the latter, six will probably die and more than forty are permanently crippled. Public sentiment has been aroused to the pitch where it is demanded that the brutal features of the college game be eliminated and slugging forbidden. It is thought that the game will be more open play, thus giving the umpire and spectators an opportunity to detect slugging, in which case it would be minimized. Russian Stronghold of Sebastopol May Fall to the Soldiers. OFFICERS ARE CAPTURED Held By Their Own Men, Who Join Red Flag--Only Remaining Regiment Cheers Muteineers, But Remains Loyal Up to Date of News. Sebastopol, Nov. 26.—The sailors of this port and the Brest regiment have mutinied and joined the workmen who are holding a meeting under the red flag. The city is in a state of panic. Odessa, Nov. 26.—Troops have been sent here to quell the disorders at Sebastopol, which are reported to be increasing. Railway traffic with Sebastopol is interrupted. The wounds of Admiral Pisarevski, who was shot by the mutinous sailors, are serious. St. Petersburg, Nov. 25.—Details of the mutiny at Sebastopol are not available at the admiralty, the dispatch to the Associated Press from the war port giving the first intimation of the outbreak. An officer of the staff said that four equipages and the Black Sea fleet were at Sebastopol at present. He explained that in addition to other long existent causes of discontent the sailors had been stirred up by their retention in the service as reservists, the mase releasing many of them from the sea, and the loss of their equipment yesterday. The infantrymen of the Brest regiment had hilbiter been considered entirely reliable. Sebastopol, Nov. 27.—The long expected mutiny of sailors who have been on the verge of revolt for months has come, and Russia's stronghold or the Black sea is in danger of failing completely into their hands. The situation is very critical. At the shore equipages, numbering 4,000, many open rebellion, having driven their officers awa or taken their prisoners. The Brest regiment of infantry has gone over in a body to the mutineers General Napoleon, the commander of the fortress, is a captive. The Bielostok regiment, the only other unit in city, received the mutineers with cheer, but thus far it remains royal. Some of the artilleryists have also joined the men in revolt. Besides the Bielostok regiment the two battalions of artillery and a battalion of the fortress have mutinied. The mutineers are still obeying the orders of Vice Admiral Choukain, but the crews are disaffected, and there is grave doubt whether they can be restrained from joining the mutineers and greater doubt that they will fire muskets. The Seventh army corps and the commander of the corps have been hastily summoned from Slimeropol, eight hours distant. There is every evidence that the mutiny was deliberately and perfectly planned by the social revolutionaries, the mutineers, that their purpose ganda with great energy since the St. Petersburg strike was organized to save the Cronstadt mutineers. Silver Service Worth $25,000 Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 25—In the presence of many state and city officials and officers of the United States navy now at the League Island navy yard, Governor Pennyacker on behalf of the state, yesterday presented to the armored cruiser Pennyania a handsome silver service, consisting of 143 pieces, weighing nearly 750 pounds, and costing $2,000. Puts Ban on Football New York, Nov. 29—Columbia university has abolished the game of football, as at present played, as one of the sports in which students of the university will be permitted to engage. MRS. ROGERS MUST PAY DEATH PENALTY Washington, Nov. 28.—The supreme court of the United States yesterday affirmed the decision of the United States district court of Vermont in the case of Mrs. Mable Rogers, who is under sentence of death in Vermont for the murder of her husband. The effect of the decision will be to again place the responsibility of dealing with the case in the hands of the state authorities and if in the meantime neither the governor or the state courts take action in Mrs. Rogers' behalf her execution must occur on the same day. The court held, in effect, that it was without jurisdiction in all the points raised. Vienna. Nov. 29.—Yesterday marked a new epoch in Austrian history, for the Austrian people throughout the entire land made known to the crown their imperial demand for equal frage, and even as this demand was being voiced, the crown, through Premier Barn Gauch von Frankel thur, in parliament was assuring the people that its will would be done. The premier promised to bring in by the end of February a bill providing for the free universal equal and direct suffrage. The people made known their demand by a series of monster demonstrations in all the principal cities and towns of the country. From only one town, Austerlitz, are serious orders reported. There the troops fired on disorderly demonstrators, killing two and wounding thirty, while the troops were characterized by the maintenance of order and dignity. Industries in St. Petersburg are Paralyzed to a Great Degree. RELIEFIN SIGHT FOR POLAND Cabinet has Decided to Raise State of Martial Law—Telegraphic Communication with Interior of St. Petersburg Suspended. St. Petersburg, Nov. 30.—It is celt mated that 100,000 workmen are locked out in St. Petersburg. The cabinet has definitely resolved to raise the state of martial law in Poland. This probably will be an insured tonight. St. Petersburg, Nov. 30—Communication with the outside world ceased at 3 o'clock this afternoon when a strike was called in the general telegraph offices. By a ruse, however, the management had succeeded in reopening the cable shortly after 6 o'clock. At 3 o'clock when the strike went into operation, many of the Russian operators were reluctant to leave, but a walking delegate promptly smashed the door and the frones soon drove them from their keys. The most disquieting reports are in circulation regarding the disaffection of the guard regiments, two of which the workingmen have definitely resolved not to fire on the people. The government still manages with the aid of the administrative offices along the line to keep communication open with Sebastopol. The manager of the Moscow offices is himself working at a key there. The contents of the eipher dispatches received by the emperor from Vice Admiral Birdle, the however, are carefully guarded. The navy department is closed not only to the public but to officers except of the general staff. No official statement on the subject of the battle of Sebastopol yesterday has been issued and the public remains in the dark, compelled to be content with the less rumors which are in circulation. It is reported from a semi-official source that although the Otokahok, the Dnieloper and a transport were set on fire and sunk during yesterday's battle all the mutineers have not yet surrendered. Rear Admiral Chokunka was in command of the loyal vessels, some of which, including the Pantolemon, participated in the engagement, the commander of the Seventh army, commander of the Seventh army corps with 21,000 infantry and artillery, was in chief command ashore. The newspaper accounts of the details of the fighting at Sebastopol, which was based on the reports circulating in the city, are very conflicted. The police are at about 5:30 yesterday afternoon when the shops of the mutineers surrendered. The Novosti says that five thousand men perished on both sides. The leaders of the mutineers, it is added, have already been executed and many have been blown up and mines have been laid at the entrance of the roadstead. Constantinople, via. Sofa, Bulgaria, Nov. 29—Detachments from the international fleet landed at Mytilene Sunday afternoon, in accordance with the instructions of Rear Admiral Ritter Von Jodina, and occupied the customs and postal buildings. The governor protested but his protestations were not availing. During the daimum festival, beginning yesterday at 10 a.m., the governor of November 30, the fleet will take no further action, but if the sultan does not utilize the interval) to accede to the demands of the powers the fleet will occupy the Island of Nenедо, off the coast of Asia Minor. The Porte continues its efforts to obtain a modification of the financial control scheme so as to make it more acceptable to Turkish views. The grand vizer, Ferdia Pasha, the report of whose formation, M. Zinovleff, the Russian amassador, that the scheme in its press shape is too unattainable. The grand vizier offered to agree to the establishment of four new civil agents with the same functions as the existing agents of Austria and Switzerland, and declared that no alteration in the demands of the powers was possible. St. Petersburg, Nov. 28—The last day of grace accorded the mutineers at Sebastopol expired at midnight with no signs of surrender on the part of the men. The bills towering above the harbor of the Russian stronghold in the Black sea may resound this morning, as they did in the days of the Crimen war, with the roar of musketry and cannon, should the government attempt to carry out its announced intention of crushing the revolt with the mailed fat. The allusion to the bloody battles waiting game and apparently have full confidence that the guns of the flee will not be turned against them. If they have not actually disregarded the summons to haul down the red flag they seem determined to make the authorities show their hand.

The revivalist continued: "Who ever saw a perfect woman?" At this juncture a tall, thin woman asked, "Do you mean to say, madam, the evangelist replied, "that you have seen a perfect woman?" Well, I can't just say that I have seen the woman repiled. "I have heard a powerful lot about her; she was my husband's first wife." A young lawyer received a call from a farmer in need of legal advice. The lawyer looked up the statutes, and told the farmer what he should do. "How much?" said the farmer. "Well, let's call it three dollars," said the lawyer. The farmer handed over a five-dollar bill. The lawyer seemed embarrassed. After searching his pockets and the drawings of his desk, the lawyer and his bill as he reenrolled for a digest, I guess, neighbor, he remarked, as he resumed his seat, "I shall have to give you two dollars" worth more of advice. Though enormously rich, the Duke of Westminster never by any chance has money in his pocket. The other day he went to London to make some purchases, leaving behind the man servant who attends to his small disbursements. He met an intimate, but impeccable, friend, and the two spent a day in a hammock cab. Before starting for home the duke borrowed a couple of dowries from his friend, and then forgot all about it. in a day or two he received a reminder in the shape of a bill written thus: "For the privilege of riding in a hansom with a duke, £2." His grace promptly mailed a check. When Your Grocer Says he does not have Defiance Starch, you may be sure he is afraid to keep it unstored.

Expensive Invitations. The latest craze in New York among the very wealthy is an extravagant style of invitation card. Not 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 $6 each are quite common. Mr. Ed Sumberg, the popular constable of Justice Christie's court, has recently been called the "first lady of headaches" Arnz.

Horses In Shrimp Fishing. Horses play an important part in shrimp fishing along the Belgian coast. A procession of weather-beaten fishermen starts from the shore, each man mounted on the back of a trained horse, dragging the triangular purse-shaped net, which scoops in the shrimps as it passes over the sands. Those fishermen on horseback frequently make hauls of several hundred weight in a single trip. Frozen Meat. Frozen meat will keep any length of time. It undergoes a change, however, and is of the quality of secondrate meat after long staying in cold storage. It is thawed by being allowed to stay some hours in a warm atmosphere, never by being put suddenly to the fire. It is useless to attempt the cooking of frozen meat. Thawing must take place first.
