The evening was spent in social conversation, mingled with the strains of music from a graphophone. On their porch was a number of chairs and a hammock, and the light from the Japanese lanterns with the beautiful rays of moonlight made it a pleasant place for those present.

Hope of Philadelphia charges a phonograph with the word of praise she wants the parrot to learn, and then shuts him in a room alone with the machine. The bird listens to the oft-repeated sound and tries to outdo. the brazen throated trumpet, so that with no expenditure of human strength, and in shorter time than personal attention would consume, he masters one lesson and then is put upon another. 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. These 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 porage. 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. Useless Advice to Soldiers. The London News calls attention to the fact that when the building that is now Wellington barracks, Dublin, was a jail it had the words, "Cease to do Evil—Learn to do Well," ciselled over the gateway. When it became a barracks the authorities, perhaps realizing the uselessness of such advice in some cases, had the words, removed. Proving His Proverb "He makes me so angry," remarked Miss Bute; "he's forever remarking to me that 'beauty is only skin deep.'" Hurts Flour Trade The Chinese boycott is being felt by the flour men of California. Two years ago the Stockton mills were shipping 10,000 barrels a year to China. New they are shipping only 4,000. --- BEEK TO END CUBAN WAR WITH OUT FURTHER FIGHTING. Hostilities Have Been Practically Suspended Awaiting Negotiations for Agreement That Would Be Satisfactory to Both Sides. Havana — Peace is in the air, and on all sides there is hope that matters will be arranged between the government and the insurgents so as to avoid further bloodshed. However, there has been no tangible advance towards an agreement to a definite arrangement of a basis for negotiation. In the meantime fighting has been practically suspended. Delegates informally chosen by a small group of veterans started Wednesday to the camps of Pino Guerra, Col. Asbert, Guzman, and others of the insurgent leaders, with the purpose of learning what will be acceptable to the actual fighting leaders of the revolution. A similar committee started for Cienfuegos to consult under a flag of truce with the insurgent leaders in Santa Clara province. Peacemakers Are Busy. Late Wednesday Gen. Menocal, Gen. Cebreco and other veterans held a conference with Alfredo Zayas, the leader of the liberal party, which, however, did not result in reaching any understanding. At the same time the executive committee of the moderate party was holding a conference at which the subject of peace was excused discussed although no determination was reached. The commanders have been directed to suspend active field operations until it can be determined what can be done to end the war. To Pass Acts of Amensty The propositions which the promoters of the peace movement have in mind are, generally speaking, those already noted by the press and which include a special session of congress to pass acts of amnesty for the holding of municipal elections within 60 days to be supervised by members of both parties and a new general election law providing for minority representation in all branches of the national and municipal governments. These propositions seem to appeal to the public, although liberals are inclined to demand also the resignation of all high officials, including the president and members of the cabinet which the government, of course, never can consider. It is feared that the demands of the field in the field will be much more exacting than those of insurgent sympathizers in the cities, who ostensibly at least assume to be noncombattants. Would Appeal to Country. In the conference with Senor Zayas Gen. Menocal and others stated that they had no plans formulated, but that they wished to hear from him. Senor Zayas, rather enigmatically responded that while he was desirous of assisting the peace movement he could not use his influence unless it was to be either a temporary peace with an opportunity to arrange details later or a peace procured at all cost. He said the whole matter was a political question which had taken the form of an armed protest and that it must be treated from the political standpoint. Senor Zayas was the president of the liberal senators and representatives even those who were not elected at the last election to resign if their opponents would do likewise, and make an appeal to the country. GIRL'S HAIR CAUGHT IN BELT Young Woman's Scalp Dragged From Head by Shafting. Minneapolis, Minn.—As a result of her hair being caught in the shafting of one of the sewing machines at the Bemis Bags company's factory, Annie Shema, 22 years old, is now at the city hospital with her left ear and the entire scalp lion. Little is known of the accident, further than that the girl was taken sick and lay down on a bench with her head within a few inches of the shafting. In some way her hair became entangled in the machinery and the girl was dragged from her place on the bench.

BRITISH POST OFFICE PONTA A-POLLICA SERVICIO PERO HOTEL Where Paul O. Stensland, the Fugitive Chicago Banker, Was Captured. TRAVELER RECEIVES A WARM GREETING AT LINCOLN. Republicans and Democrats Join In Reception to Noted Man and His Family. Lincoln, Neb.-William Jennings Bryan returned Wednesday evening to his Lincoln home, and the "home folks" welcomed him with every evidence of approval and satisfaction. It was a neighborly welcome, planned as such, and carried out in its entirety with that understanding. Lincoln has more Republicans than Democrats, and Mr. Bryan has in the past good-humoredly expressed the belief that it would be a task to reform the city politically, but there was no line of partisan division, and the welcome extended to both Mr. and Mrs. Bryan was sincere and open-handed. Everybody showed good nature; nobody wanted to quarrel about politics, and nearly the whole population showed that it was genuinely glad that so well-known a man as Mr. Bryan lived here. It is doubtful whether Lincoln ever held a larger crowd. The weather, barring the heat, was as nearly perfect as it could be; it was a half holiday in the city, and every train from over the state arrived loaded down, bringing not only Nebraska people, but many from nearby states. The city was handsomely decorated for the homecoming, the fronts of business houses being a mass of flags and bunting, while in the residence districts lithographs of Mr. Bryan in the windows, together with the national colors, were very seen. The nonpartisan nature of the reception emphasized in every way possible. Following Mr. Bryan's speech the formal reception took place in the corridors of the capitol, in which Mr. Bryan shook hands with the thousands who passed before him. Editor Rosewater Dead Omaha, Neb.—Edward Rosewater, proprietor and editor of the Omaha Bee, and prominently identified with the political, financial and business affairs of Omaha and the state of Nebraska for 40 years, was found dead in district courtroom No. 6, on the third floor of the Bee building, early Friday. Mr. Rosewater had evidently sat down on a bench in the courtroom, had fallen asleep, and died of heart failure. Fight Goes to Gans- Goldfield, Nev.-Battling Nelson deliberately fouled Joe Gans in the forty-second round of the best and longest sight seen in many years.

BRYAN FAVORS EIGHT-HOUR DAY Declares It Best for Workingman In Speech at Detroit. Detroit, Mich.-When William Jennings Bryan arrived with his party of about 100 in Detroit, at noon Monday, over the Grand Trunk, he passed to his carriage through a cheering, applauding crowd. At the fair grounds a large crowd greeted the Nebraskan's approach with applause and cheers. After declaring that he was glad of the opportunity to take part in the exercises of the party, he departed to the interests of those who formed so important a part in all affairs of the country Bryan said: "I believe in the eight hour day, and this in why: I believe that the laboring man is justly entitled to it and that society at large would be better if he had it. You cannot separate a man from society—you cannot deal with society. You cannot class. No line should be drawn between the boy and his aspirations. Those who say the laboring man would waste his time if allowed fewer hours argue no more soundly than an old colored man I met in Alabama. In reply to my question, why he didn't learn to write, he said: 'Oh, I knew once who learnt to write. He forged not only a pen and to the penentiary, so I never learned.' YOSEMITE STAGE IS HELD UP Single Bandit Makes Passengers Disgorge Their Wealth. Wawona, Cal.-Three miles from Ahwheanea, a Yosemite stage was held up Monday afternoon. It was driven by bright Gillespie, who took President Roosevelt and his party through the park on their visit here three years ago. The robber appeared at a bend in the road and told the driver to come on up. The driver drove until he was within a few feet of the robber, then stopped. The robber ordered the passengers out. The driver was told to come some 50 feet more. The bandit lined the passengers up in the road. Wertemer Bishop of New York was the first searched and $7.50 taken from him. Mr. Bishop snapped the robber's picture. He says the robber's voice was very low and calm.

CHICAGO BANKER ARRESTED CHICAGO BANKER ARRESTED PAUL O. STENLAND CAPTURED AT TANGIER, MOROCCO. State's Attorney Olsen Follows Fugitive Through Europe and Finally Makes Him Prisoner. Tangier, Morocco—Paul O. Stensland, president of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank of Chicago, was arrested here Monday morning by Henry Olsen, assistant state's attorney, who had followed the fugitive from Chicago through England and Spain to Gibraltar and this port. A telegram addressed to Stensland by his son announcing an important remittance and which was addressed to Gibraltar or Tangier, put justice on the track. Olsen who was in Paris on vacation, was at once instructed to follow up the clew and arrest the fugitive. On his arrival at Tangier he was convinced that he was on the right track, as Stensland had presented himself at several banks and tried to get letters of credit for large sums. He had been effected a deposit of $12,000 in the Company. Washington—it is now said at the department that there probably will be no difficulty in fetching Stensland away from Morocco on any merchant vessel, providing the ship does not touch a French port. There is no provision in the existing extradition treaty between America and France for the surrender of persons guilty of embezzlement, the technical offense charged against Stensland. If Stensland, therefore, got in the French indictment he might through counsel secure intervention by the authorities, and it is suggested the French officials might feel obliged to move in the matter on its own account to escape liability for a civil suit for damages which might be brought on the ground of illegal imprisonment on French territory. No such difficulty would be met if the fugitive were brought into Gibraltar or to a Spanish or Portuguese indictment the extradition treaties would permit of his surrender to American authorities. PRESIDENT REVIEWS SHIPS. Great Assemblage of American War Vessels at Oyster Bay. Oyster Bay, N. Y. On the waters of Long Island sound, within view of Sagamore Hill, the president of the United States reviewed Monday the greatest fleet of American warships ever assembled. There was a ship of war for every state, 45 in all, ranging in size from the magnificent 16,000-ton Louisiana, just completed, to the fleet little torpedo boat and the submarines and including one troop ship and colliers. As the Mayflower dropped her anchor at the head of the fleet on the completion of the review the president descended from the bridge, his face wreathed in smiles, and enthastically throwing his arms around the shoulders of a group of senators and members exclaimed. "Any man who fails to be patroltically inspired by such a sight as this is a mighty poor American, and every American who has seen it ought to be a better American for it." "And you, gentlemen," he said, ad dressing the naval committee, "are responsible for it. It is your hands work and it has all been done within the past ten years. Every one of these ships is a fighter and ready to go into action at a moment's notice. Again the navy is in the interpenations for the target practice, for there is where the American navy excels. Our men can shoot and shoot straight, and therein lies our naval strength and our superiority." WILL PRCBE HARVESTER TRUST Kansas Attorney General to Determine if States Laws Are Violated. Topeka, Kan.—Investigations of the International Harvester company have been instituted by C. C. Coleman, attorney general of Kansas, to determine whether the concern is operating in violation of the state anti-trust laws. Attorney General Coleman stated that in the district courts of Reno and Shawnee counties all of the implement dealers in Topeka and Hutchinson would be subpoenaed to appear before District Judges Dana and Galle and tell what they knew about the operations of the company. The company has storage houses for its implements at Topeka, Hutchinson, Wichita and Salina, and it was decided to begin with the investigation at two of these points. The commissioners applied the subpoenaes prepared by the attorney general allege that "secret arrangements and agreements exist between dealers in various lines." The application specifies that all contracts entered into between any of the dealers and the International Harvester company for the years 1904, 1905 and 1906 be brought into court.

My complexion got yellow, and I lost over 50 pounds. My thirst was terrible, and there was sugar in the kidneys of my tissues. My doctor kept me on a strict diet, but as his medicine was not helping me, I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me at once, and soon all traces of sugar disappeared. I have regained my former weight and am perfectly well." Sold by all dealers, 50 cents a box Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y.

The Central American Soldier These barefooted soldiers are antagonists not to be despised. Nearly worthless in attack, they are nevertheless tenacious in holding a position, a trait that comes from their Spanish descent probably. In the Cuban campaign Gen. García is said to ha ve said in reply to the remark of an American officer: "The Spaniards never attack us, but we are at the main, but the defense of the trenches at Caney showed that the Spaniards would hold a position with as much courage and tenacity as any other troops. The Central and the South Americans have not generally showed much steadiness in war, but there have been occasions when their troops gallantry, and all the virtues which to go make up the stalwart soldier.—N.

Eruption Broke Out In Spots All Over Body's Wounds Only Body's Wounds Only "The Cuticura Remedies cured me of my skin disease, and I am very thankful to you. My trouble was eruption of the skin, which broke out in spots all over my body, and caused a continual itching which nearly drove me at times. I got medicine of a doctor, who did treatment and when I saw in a paper, and I sent to you for the Cuticura book and I studied my case in it. I then went to the drug store and bought one cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura Dimention and one vial of Cuticura Pills. From the first application I received relief. I used the first set and two extra cakes of Cuticura Soap, and I had suffered for two years, and I asked for cuticura for my cure. Claude N. Johnson, Maple Grove Farm, R. F.

The protests against the automobile omnibuses of London have received a powerful reinforcement by a declaration of Sir James Dewar on the chemical basis. He is undoubtedly among the high chemical authorities of the world, and his condensation of the motor buses and freight vans seems conclusive unless invention provides innocuous motive power. Sir James Dewar states that the combustion of petrol or gasoline in these motors throws off vast quantities of noxious gases. Some of these are absolutely poisonous and all in the London is bad enough already without the addition of carbonic acid gas, the sulphurous gases, and, worst of all, the asphyxiating carbonic oxide. Moreover, while he admits that science can improve motors, he declares that it is impossible for it to burn petrol and render the resulting gases innocuous. Vanishing Rural Industries. The gradual cessation, one after another, of the countryside industries is one of the principal reasons why the peasant owner has vanished from the land. Tatching and woodcraft have been killed by rural councils, with their craze for plated roofs, and with the substitution of other materials for timber. The cottage can no longer be built on any coal, since his fireplaces are not fashioned for the consumption of fagots—London Estates Gazette. GOOD AND HARD. Results of Excessive Coffee Drinking. It is remarkable what suffering some persons put up with just to satisfy an appetite for something. A Mich. woman says: "I had been using coffee since I was old enough to have a cup of my own at the table, and from I have suffered agony hundreds of times in the years past. 'My trouble first began in the form of billious colic, coming on every few weeks and almost eroding my life. At every attack for $ years I suffered in this way. I used to pray for death to relieve me from my suffering. I had also attacks of sick headache, and also to suffer from catarrh of the stomach, and my dyspepsia.' For about a year I lived on coffee and water. Believing that coffee was the cause of all this suffering, I finally quit it and began to use Postum Food Coffee. It agreed with my stomach, my troubles have left me and I am fast gaining my health under its use. "No wonder I condemn coffee and tea. No one could be in a much more critical condition than I was from the use of coffee. Some doctors pronounced it cancer, others ulceration, but none gave me any relief. But since I stopped coffee and began Postmum I am getting well so fast I can hearly recommend to all who want to Nana, Nana of Postmum Co.

DEPOSITORS ARE INDIGNANT Are Employing Lawyers to Probe Into Situation—Adolph Segal and Two Men Arrested With Him Are Held for Trial After Hearing. Philadelphia, Pa. Sept. 7.—Receiver Earle's plan for the reorganization of the defunct Real Estate Trust company was given to the printer last night. It will be mailed to the depositors today. It provides for the reopening of the bank by the payment of 30 per cent in cash to depositors and 30 per cent in preferred stock guaranteed by collateral bonds, 40 per cent to be paid within sixty days. The directors of the Real Estate trust company are to raise the necessary capital to make this settlement. Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 7—Rumors of arrests of directors of the looted Real Estate Trust company fill the Air District Attorney Bell declares that the directors will be spared in the effort to bring to justice those responsible for the dissipation of the depositor's money. The statement is made that two diagonal bars, the bar, have profited to the extent of $75,000 in the last three years by accepting fees from Adolph Segal for passing on securities tendered by him for loans from the bank aggregate of $100,000. The warrants have not yet been issued for these men, but the public is awaiting with breathless interest senational arrests of directors who have been charged before the crash and exposure came. President Hipple's plaintive cry from his grave, "Segal it all," has aroused the depositors to a high pitch of indignation. Lawyers representing him are making an active part in the investigation of the affairs of the trust company, and the facts are coming to light almost hourly revealing new evidence that men entrusted with the depositors' money and the trust funds of large and small estates. Investigation shows that the looting of the trust company will cost the Presbyterians $100 million, and that faith are congratulating themselves that President Hipple chose an opportune time for committing suicide as far as the church is concerned, the funds and deposits being for this purpose. The receiver Earley expresses the opinion that President Hipple was "money mad," and there seems to be no end to the means by which he juggled the funds and concerns his hands and concerning which he sought to deceive the directors. JIM HILL DEFIES STATE COMMISSION St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 7—James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern railroad, has defied the authority of the state railroad and warehouse commission to subpoena him as a witness before that body. Last Saturday the commission issued a subpoena to President Hill to testify against the commission in witness against the railroad, to serve. The subpoena cited Mr. Hill to appear before the commission Sept. 18, and give testimony in the case of the citizens of Hastings against the Chicago, Milwaukee & Chicago, Waukee & St. Paul railways coal for the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific between the twin cities and Hastings. When the hearing came to an abrupt close last Saturday it was brought about mostly through the efforts of Mr. Olson, who was the chairman of the commission to bring Mr. Hill into the hearing. When Commissioner Staple stated that the commissioners had decided to put the proposed schedule it brought that particular hearing to a Mr. Hill be supposed then insisted that Mr. Hill be supposed to the Hastings case relative to a reduction of the coal rate at that point. The subpoena was issued, signed by Ira B. Mills, chairman of the commission, and A. C. Clauseen, secretary. The commissioner to Mr. Hill to lay aside all other duties and bestead and appear before that body on Sept. 18. Mr. Olson called upon Mr. Hill yesterday and handed him the subpoena. Mr. Hill read it and said: "I am to defend that meeting. I have much to do on hand. I don't think I will be in the city at that time, anyway." FIGHT PHILIPPINE TARIFF CONCESSION FIGHT PHILIPPINE TARIFF CONCESSION Boise, Ida., Sept. 7. — Governor Chamberlain of Oregon was yesterday elected president of the National Irrigation congress. The congress voted to meet next year at Sacramento, Cal. The committee recommended the following resolution in relation to the tariff on sugar from the Philippines: much as the sugar beet industry in irrigated America returns to our farmers an annual avenue of over twenty millions, and as the production at home of the sugar we now import from the tropics would afford us a market for nearly $100,000,000 a year, and as it has been urged that the United States congress further stimulate the sugar industry of the Philippine islands to produce all or a portion of our sugar we of said America had hoped to produce. "Therefore we protest against any further legislative concessions in favor of Philippine sugar and urge that legislative agitation and attacks the sugar production of this industry of the Americas may be fully developed."

Persistent Anemia Cured by Dr. William'a Pink Pills After Other Remedies Had Failed "When I began taking Dr. William Pink Plills," says Mrs. Nathaniel Field St. Albans, Somerset county, MA. "I was the palest, most bloodied you could imagine. My tongue and gums were colorless and my fingers and ears were like wax. I had two doctors who pronounced my trouble答案. I had a doctor not to mention, could not in fact, did not mention, to I had much the after eating. My monach was filled with gas which caused a awful gas. The backache I suffered at almost almost unbearable and the less irritation made my heart beat so fast that I hardly breathe. But the worst of all which the splitting neuralgia headache made never left for seven weeks. About this time I several numb wounds. My limbs would be cut and without my feeling and the most deadly sensation would come over me. "Nothing had helped me until I began taking Dr. Williams' Pills, in days.
