Eddy, founder of the Christian Science church, is said to be dying, and an immense fortune supposed to be hers is missing. Many duels are taking place in Cuba to settle revolutionary grudges. New FIRST BRUSH WITH INDIANS. Soldiers Outwitted and Lose Band of Captured Ponies. Butte, Nov. 1.—A special to the Miner from Sheridan, Wyo., says: Reports of the first brush between troops and Utes have reached here by telephone from Birney. A troop of the Tenth Cavalry rounded up and attempted to drive off 50 head of ponies being grazed by the fugitive Indians. The herders sent the alarm to the main hand. As the soldiers were driving the ponies away a band of 100 bucks came riding up, and, circling the troops, succeeded in stampeding the ponies and recovered all but five, which were shot by the soldiers. The Indians did not fire, but their determined rescue of their ponies indicates their temper. The soldiers felt themselves unable to cope with the force and the shots killing the animals were fired as the herd was being driven away. The Indians are outwitting the troops now in the field. A troop of the Tenth Cavalry marched all Tuesday night in hope of capturing a small band of Utes on Bitter Creek, arriving there only to find the band had moved. Later a scout reported the Indians 20 miles away. The troops then made a forced march to Powder river. Soldiers are complaining bitterly against the actions of the Indian scouts, American Horse, Women's Dress and White Cow Bull, employed by the government. The Indians profess not to know the country, but the belief is growing that they are purposely leading the troops in a fruitless search in order to gain time. Another detachment of the Tenth Cavalry met and turned back a small band of Cheyennes under Chief Two Face. He said they were hunting and they were started toward the reservation. The band of a hundred Crows under Sweet Mouth, which hurriedly left Sheridan Monday night, was also met and turned back by the Tenth Cavalry. The Indians are making forced marches at night to elude the soldiers, and owing to the poor work or treachery of the scouts, the soldiers are unable to keep track of them. Railroad men running into Sheridan tonight report having passed a band of a hundred Sioux marching southeast within 50 miles of Sheridan. Neither Indians nor troops have arrived at Blunt. The settlers are fearful of a Cheyenne uprising if the Utes reach the reservation border near Ashland. Troops from Fort Keogh and Fort Meade are converging on Ashland. ALCOHOL, MAKING AND USE. Bulletina Containing Useful Information to Be Issued. Washington, Nov. 1.—The United States Department of Agriculture has in press and will soon issue two farmers' bulletins, Nos. 268 and 269, relating to industrial alcohol, the former treating of its sources and manufacture and the latter of its uses and statistics. These bulletins have been prepared by Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, and are designed to meet the popular demand for information in regard to denatured alcohol, relating to which a law was passed by Congress on June 7, 1906. These bulletins define in a proper way what denatured alcohol is, the sources from which it is obtained, the processes and appliances used in its manufacture, the cost of manufacturing, the uses to which it may be applied and the officials of the government charged with the enforcement of the law. The bulletins are illustrated and are for free distribution. Application should be made to members of Congress or to the United States Department of Agriculture. No Soldiers Need Apply. Leavenworth, Kan., Nov. 1.—Two soldiers of Company K, Eighteenth Infantry, stationed at Fort Leavenworth, were refused admittance to a skating rink here recently and Captain M. McFarland, commanding the company, who was appealed to by the men, wrote a communication to the Military Secretary of the War Department stating that the proprietor had said that he would admit soldiers only in citizens' clothing. Captain McFarland referred the letter to Lieutenant-Colonel William Paulding, who indorsed it by stating that "it is very unfortunate and to be deplored that the uniform of the Nation's Army should be held in such lack of esteem by individuals in this community, and it is to be hoped that some means may be found in correction." Badges to Identify Soldiers. Washington, Nov. 1—Acting upon the recommendation of Surgeon-General O'Reilly, Acting Secretary Oliver has ordered that hereafter identification tags of aluminum, the size of a silver dollar, stamped with the name, company, regiment or troop of the wearer, be suspended from the neck of each officer and soldier underneath the clothing by a cord or thong. These badges will be issued gratuitously to enlisted men and at cost price to officers. The importance of such badges is shown by thousands of graves of unidentified soldiers. Mint Buys Silver at 70.71. Washington, Nov. 1.—The Director of the Mint today purchased 100,000 ounces of silver at 70.71c per fine ounce, for delivery at the Denver mint. Oregon Solons Seeking Information on Public Matters. PENDLETON ENTERTAINS THEM Visit Washington's Jute Mill and Oregon State Normal School Pendleton, Or., Oct. 30.—Whether Oregon should supplant its stove foundry in the Salem prison with a jute mill was studied today in the Walla Walla jute plant of the Washington state prison by Governor Chamberlain, of Oregon, 33 members of the Oregon legislature, C. W. James, superintendent of the Oregon penitentiary, and others. While the lawmakers have not expressed their opinions on the subject freely, it is evident that many of them do not favor the change. This is the attitude also of Governor Chamberlain and Superintendent James. They argue that the stove foundry brings to the state a revenue twice as big as a jute mill would do, that a jute mill would launch the state in a business which is in large measure speculative and risky and liable to heavy losses because the raw product from India is manipulated by a trust; that the finished bags would be sold to consumers near the factory, thereby discriminating against others not favored by proximity to the plant; that Oregon's participation in the business would not regulate prices, because it could make only 12 per cent of the bags used, and the Washington plant doubled in size could make only 25 per cent of the bags used in that state; and that the change to a jute mill would entail upon the state an expenditure of perhaps $125,000. The Oregonians examined the jute mill with keen interest. It was not running, because the day was one of its alternate idle ones, the idleness coming from short jute supply. But several of the 70 looms were put in motion for exhibition. The visitors, headed by Governor Chamberlain, were conducted through the plant by Governor Mead and M. F. Kincaid, the new superintendent. The chief argument for the jute mill is that manufacture of grain sacks, unlike that of stoves, does not compete with free labor and that it gives farmers sacks cheaper than the market price. After viewing the Walla Walla plant, the visitors went to Weston to view the Normal School at that place and thence came to Pendleton, where they attended a dinner and smoker tonight, given by the Commercial Association. At the Weston Normal School the party was greeted by Robert C. French, president of that institution, and was led to the assembly hall of the school where some 240 students were gathered. President French, to show that the institution was not a local high school for Weston, asked the pupils residing in Weston to arise, then those whose homes were beyond the town. The latter number visibly exceeded the former. President French said afterward that of the 138 pupils in the normal department, only 22 are residents of Weston. In addition are 102 young pupils in the training department, all from Weston, their studies ranging from kindergarten to eighth grade The age of normal pupils ranges from 15 to 27, most of them being 17, 18 and 19. Governor Chamberlain spoke commendingly of the school, saying it would always have a place in his heart. Representative Davey, of Marion, encouraged the friends of the school by declaring that it is one of the indispensable educational institutions of Oregon. Representative Vawter, of Jackson, spoke the same sentiment and jocularly said that Governor Chamberlain's remarks had put him on record and that they would be remembered when he should pass upon the appropriation bill of the Republican legislature. Other speakers were Senator Smith, of Umatilla, and J. H. Raley, of Pendleton. The town of Weston took an afternoon holiday to receive the visitors. At the station, a mile distant from the school, numerous conveyances were waiting their arrival, to convey them up town. The keen interest of Weston in its normal school was evidenced by the appreciation its citizens showed of the visit of the Governor and the Legislators. At tonight's dinner Governor Chamberlain urged co-operation of Oregon and Washington for improvement of the Columbia river and the protection of salmon. Governor Mead responded that in improvement of that river Washington "ought to co-operate with your state." But he pointed out that Seattle controlled a great part of the legislative power of Washington that it was not so well informed of the needs of the Columbia river as it might be. Age THE REASON WHY Bourne Should Not Be Elected U. S. Senator The New Age has said before and it now says again that it does not believe that the next legislature will elect J. Bourne, Jr., to the United States senate. It has been said that our opposition to Mr. Bourne is inspired by prejudice, and that we can give no good reason for opposing him since he was regularly named by the republican voters for the office. We opposed Mr. Bourne during the primaries for the reason that we knew him to be unfit for the high office to which he aspired. First—That he is not a loyal and consistent republican. Second—That he is a traitor and political black-leg. Third—That he could not be depended upon to support Roosevelt. If he had been a loyal and consistent republican he would not have deserted his party in the hour of its dire distress, when the blight of Bryanism and populism overshadowed the country in 1906. But as a true and loyal republican would have put self aside and rendered whatever service he could for his party and his republican friends. If Bourne's will had prevailed and Bryan had been elected who can say that there would have been today a strong, invincible republican party in Oregon to honor him for his perfidy. The legislative session of 1895 was the most spectacular in the history of Oregon and the King Pin of that session was J. Bourne Jr., whose malodorous record is even yet a stench in the nostrils of decent people. With a goodly supply of money and other corrupting influences the trick of thwarting the will of the people and debauching the honor of the citizenry was the special mission of this political montebank, who, now, ten short years afterward, has the brazen affrontery to seek this high and honorable position at the hands of the party, whose murder he conspired to bring about. In the light of the past record of Mr. Bourne, who is so unsuspecting as to trust him in the future? Does anyone who knows him, save his hired henchmen, think for a minute that he can be depended upon to stand up for republican principles and policies in the United States senate, and to uphold the hands of life-long, true and tried republican leaders in that body, and to "stand pat" with the party's matchless leader, mose profound stateman, patriot and humanitarian since the days of Lincoln—Theodore Roosevelt. NO. 28. Russia has her generals; we have our umpires. Alcohol is a good motive power. Note the speed at which it helps a man along to the poorhouse. Carnegie spells kissed "kist," but the change creates no change in the methods of going about the matter. It is quite possible that even the President will forget occasionally and spell some of them the old way. The first move of a spelling reform in Russia would be to take a cold chisel and knock off the ski's and vitch's. Perhaps the man who invented seedless grapes will now produce watermelons that will have handles to carry them by. Never having used tobacco in any form, Banker Hipple of Philadelphia might have lived to a ripe old age, had he not committed suicide. Threatened with a kiss, an Oklahoma girl jerked her head back suddenly and broke her neck. The moral of which is in the application thereof. The trouble is that after you have mastered the reformed orthography of 300 words the reformers will come along with 300 more equally as bad. Scientists declare that the Arctic ice regions will extend until they annihilate our civilization. In other words, if we do not get to the North Pole it will come after us. A Chinaman has been arrested in Chicago for "mashing." Can there be any further doubt concerning the yellow man's advancement in the ways of civilization? The captain of the American ship Bangalore reports having seen an iceberg nine miles long and 800 feet high, but it is too late in the year to arouse enthusiasm with a lie like that. Nature always does things about right. When she creates a man with a weakness for putting his foot in his mouth, she invariably provides him with an adequate breadth of mouth. Some newspapers are so thoroughly prejudiced against Mr. Rockefeller that they continue to print bald-headed portraits of him, notwithstanding he has gone to the expense of purchasing a wig. The Wall Street Journal is the latest to follow James J. Hill in teaching the farmer how to farm. It is a good deal easier and more delightful for a man who does not know a plow from a harrow to tell how to do it than it is do the same. As showing how the human race has succeeded in climbing upward during the last hundred years it is worth recalling that when General Plike discovered the peak now bearing his name he said no man ever would be able to reach its summit. Though the waste and suffering of the wars of the last half century have been terrible, they were not without compensation. As a direct consequence of some and an indirect consequence of others, what we regard as the beneficent principle of democracy has been immensely promoted in Italy, in France, in Cuba, and progress, we may be sure, has been made possible in Russia. It is not for merely selfish reasons that the governments of the modern world are very cautious as to the beginning of disarmament. --- The last generation has been remarkable for its development of colossal furtunes. It is well within a reasonable estimate to say that the combined fortunes of six great capitalists of to-day, fortunes which have been the product of the enterprise of the last thirty years, make a total of $1,100,000,000. In 1870 it would have been difficult to have discovered in this country six private fortunes which would have aggregated $250,000,000. This simple fact is perhaps the most striking illustration which could be given of the extraordinary growth of wealth in the United States in a few hands. It should not be forgotten, however, that the wealth of the country has in the same time increased from $30,000,000,000 to $104,000,000,000, and the per capita wealth from $779 to about $1,254. A remarkable example of the skill and preciseness of engineering achievements is afforded by the measurements which were taken before completing the junction of the tunnels under the Hudson River at New York, under construction by the Pennsylvania Railroad. It is shown that these structures, starting from the opposite shores and meeting in the middle of the river, have been carried forward under the river bed with such accuracy that they will meet and fit into each other with a variation of a sixteenth of an inch. In other words, hundreds of yards of subterranean construction through mud and water have been traversed with practically no more variation from the prescribed lines than if they had been laid out on an open plain. Joined with this is another record even more creditable. Although this sort of tunnel work is classed as extra hazardous and in similar enterprises fatalities have occurred, it is stated that not a single life has been lost in this construction. President Roosevelt's letter to Rean Admiral Thomas, commending him for his stand in the matter of the damage suit of a sailor who was excluded from a public place of entertainment because of his uniform, and inclosing a check for $100 toward the expenses of the suit, calls renewed attention to the discussion which is going on in the country over the attitude manifested toward enlisted men in the uniform of the United States. When soldiers or sailors are on parade or when, in time of public danger, they march to the scene of war or press forward to protect persons or property, they win public applause. Thousands have their emotions quickly stirred by the sight of the lines of blue and the flying flags. It is strange that the same soldiers or sailors, when out of ranks mingling with their fellow citizens, often fall to receive the treatment accorded to the meanest civilian. The soldier in war is a hero; in peace, it sometimes seems as if no one wants him around. The President makes a strong statement about the personnel of the soldiers and sailors: "There is no finer body of men in all our country than the enlisted men of the army and navy of the United States, and I cannot sufficiently express my indignation and contempt for any man who treats his uniform save with the respect to which it is entitled." If all agreed with the executive on this point there would be no insults offered to uniformed representatives of army and navy. There is great difficulty in getting good men to join the army and navy. The "rough and tough" often try to enlist, while men of fair common school education, physically qualified, are hard to get. The requirements of enlisting officers are severe. Not one-quarter of the men who apply are accepted. Among them are some low grade men so far as personal habits go, but as a rule they are even in this respect up to the average of citizenship. Still the temptations offered to them, owing to their mode of life, are trying and some of them yield easily. It is easy to show disrespect to the uniform if the wearer of it forgets his own obligation to it, but this does not often happen. The average American seldom comes in contact with a soldier or sailor. His opinion is likely to be adverse toward an enlisted man because of slanderous stories he has heard or owing to popular notions falsely entertained. For the soldier or sailor as a class he has little regard, because he knows little about life in the navy, except as he has read of it in the "tales for the marines," and possibly does not believe in a standing army. It is not difficult for the "plain citizen" to show lack of regard for the uniform, even though he knows the wearer of it has sworn to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution and the country, if need be, with the sacrifice of his life. With the new spirit in favor of a larger and better army and navy must come more general respect for the men who make them both respectable. The attitude of the President and admiral toward the case of the sailor at Newport will have great effect in creating a public sentiment opposed to discrimination against any worthy man in the uniform of his country. THE MOUNTAINS OF MYSTERY. A Rhapody Upon the Catskills of New York State. Rip's "Village of Falling Water," Palenville, lies at the base of old High Peak, in the Catskills, and from the summit, looking far out over a field of fleecy, cloud-tipped peaks, the gilded dome of the capitol at Albany toes back the sparkling sunlight which glistens in the silvery Hudson below as though seeking to detain it in its mad onward rush to the pathless sea. Side by side on the southern border of this forest mountainland, rising over 4,000 feet out of the valley beneath, stand as sturdy, silent sentinels Round Top and High Peak—the latter so graphically described by Cooper's Leatherstocking in "The Ploneera." Halfway up the northern slope of these twin guardians, from the rustic veranda of one of the artistic mountain homes within the confines of the restricted residential districts of Sunset, Santa Cruz and Twilight parks, looking out over thick branching tree tops, nature's color scheme presents a neverceasing change. Beginning with early morn, looking eastward through the clove across the valley of the Hudson to where the sun gradually wheels his broad disk up from behind the bold sky-line of the Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts, and throughout the midday, when the picturesque play of thick cumulous clouds presents unceasing attraction, as their softening shades silently creep from peak to peak, until, at fading eve, out through the glen westward appear silhouetted against the sky, massive banks of blazing fires, a dazzling prelude to the mellow afterglow of the declining god as he passes out over the threshold of another day—Four-Track News. "Can't I do something for you?" "No, thanks. I don't believe in quacks."—Life. The reputations of banks and women are easily affected.

Portland, Oregon --- ```markdown ``` Frederick Lyman Tremain was still a student in college when the firing on Fort Sumter aroused the North and South to war. His only desire was to give his services for the union, but his father refused to allow him to enlist because of his extreme youth. It was in vain that he protested his desire. When the President's second call for troops aroused the country to the dangers that threatened the government, the father gave his consent. TOMMY first duty was assisting in the defenses of the fortifications around Washington. For fifteen months he devoted himself zealously to this work. The exposure and the climate told on him and he was stricken with typhoid fever. After his recovery he was placed in the cavalry. His first battle was the terrible one of the Wilderness, and in that he distinguished himself by the most gallant conduct, under fire. He won honors at Chickahominy. It was in this battle that a spent shell was hurled against him, wounding him severely. Throughout the entire campaign in Virginia Tremain was in every hot battle, and in every one displayed his courage and disregard of his own life when he might help to win the fight. It was in the battle of Hatcher's Run on the 6th of February, 1865, that Tremain received the wound that caused his death two days later. He died in the City Point Hospital, Virginia, giving up his life for the cause he served almost at the time that the cause was won. THE FUTURE CZAR OF RUSSIA. This picture of the future Czar of Russia, only son of Czar Nicholas, was taken at Peterhof palace, fifteen miles from St. Petersburg. At the time the little fellow was practically a prisoner 1910 ALEXIS NICOLAIEVITCH. within the garden walls of the palace, which were heavily guarded. Cossacks patrolled the neighborhood day and night and the royal children were also watched over by an army of guards, police agents and spies. The irony of fate reaches its climax in this photograph of Alexis Nicolae-vitch, the Czar of Russia's only son and heir. All unconscious of the ever nearer rolling wave of revolution which threatens to outrun the horrors of the French revolution, knowing nothing of the ever increasing terrors of massacre which daily strike horror to the hearts of the whole civilized world, the future Czar of all the Russias plays in the grounds of Peterhof with his sisters, a prisoner, close guarded by the few loyal soldiers left to his father. Little Alexis is chief of all the Cossacks and of many regiments, all of whom are in a state of open or secret mutiny. Prompter. Mrs. Prunes—When do you actors at the theater draw your pay?

Why Bourne? an honest legislator asked himself, As candidly he mused an hour alone. Should this high seat be deftly bought with sordid pelf? Should people, asking bread, receive a stone? Must I, a conscientious, true Republican, Help foist upon this grand, afflicted state This spotted, scheming, selfish, party-wrecking man Deserving less its honor than its hate? O, yes; I know he had a slight plurality Of reckless or venal people's votes, enough To pull him through, and so to Oregon's shame to be The candidate, because he had "the stuff." And foolishly, because a thoughtless clamor rose, I like a gudgeon, swallowed Statement One. But that can't bind me when from such a promise flows An act my conscience says must not be done. Better by far a foolish promise bravely reft, Than by keeping it the people to betray; Better the unworthy winner by a scratch be left Than clarion call of duty disobey. We all do know what Bourne has done years past, and how, The baleful work, and by what means, he wrought. His schemes, his crookedness, his character, and now Tis said the seat by him was fairly bought. No, now if ever, we should let the nation know That Oregon's senate seats are not for sale; The constitution is our guide, and we should show That in doing duty we'll not flinch nor fail. ANOTHER'S OPINION. O Jonathan 'll git thar; he'll make it slick enough; Fer he's a foxy feller, an's got the yeller stuff. He knew the proper method the victory to win. An' so he scattered freely the chunks of tempting tin. In a senatorial race a feller'd travel slow. Unless he's got an' spends a plenty of the dough. They say he's been a bolter, an' cost the people dear. But didn't he set 'em up—an' better, too, in beer? They say he's been a trickster an' played a crooked game; But he's made a lot of fellers jolly all the same. As a bangup, straight out statesman, maybe he won't shine. But he'll let 'em know he's got a perducin' gold mine. It's boodle nowadays, that gets a man the seat. An' Jonathan's up to snuff, an' sure he can't be beat. Politics seems to have a firm grip on the colored people of Chicago. Not even in a Presidential election has there been shown a more widespread interest. This is, of course, due to the fact that there are three Afro-Americans on the Republican ticket, and their success will mean that a liberal share of the state, county and city patronage will fall into the laps of the would-be statesmen and party workers of the race. Much is at stake—that is to say, coal, house rent, overcoats, etc., cry out for Republican workers all along the political line. It is feared by the wise ones that the frequency of lynchings and riots in the South and the consequent poisoning of the public mind against the colored man will not contribute to the chances of the colored candidates, who cannot be elected without the normal Republican white vote. The colored voters of Chicago feel that they are in the presence of a great responsibility. If they bring weakness instead of strength to the ticket, the result may prove fatal to future ambitions. El Pueblo Libre, a Cuban newspaper is urging the great Negro majority on the island to organize so that their rights may prevail at the coming elections. The recent revolution was at bottom an attempt of the blacks to gain the rights from which the Palma government had excluded them. SOLDIERS AS INFORMERS. Perhaps one of the most extraordinary orders ever issued at the instance of a President of the United States was that read to the troops of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, stationed at Fort Reno, that unless they should give up the soldiers who were mixed up in the Brownsville fracas some time ago they would all be dishonorably discharged from the army of the United States. The troopers are wanted by the civil authorities of Texas. It may be that the President has a right in law to issue such an order through the War Department and to execute it, in the event that the soldiers refused to betray their comrades, if, indeed, they know who are the guilty ones, if guilty there are any; we are not informed on the question of law in the case, but we doubt if there is any such law. However this may be, up to latest accounts, the soldiers have refused to comply with the order, if they are able to do so, which is an open question, and the troops had not been dishonorably discharged. When President Roosevelt made his Southern tour some months ago, on two occasions he laid stress upon the importance of colored people helping the officers of the law to run down alleged criminals of their race; and now when a case in point has come under his authority he seeks to enforce what should be in every instance the voluntary act of the individual or individuals. It may be that the members of the troops not concerned in the fracas have no information as to the identity of their comrades, or if they have that it came to them in the usual course of camp gossip. The theory has gained ground of late, that it is the business of the whole Afro-American people to turn out in a given locality and help the officers of the law hunt down alleged criminals about whom they know nothing and with whose criminal acts they have no sort of sympathy. This demand upon the colored people that they should do police duty without warrant in or of law is not made upon any other people in the country, and is engaged in on a large scale by no other people in the country, except the Southern white people, who have by usurpation of the authority and function of the police and the courts in most criminal causes brought the entire system of criminal procedure into contempt throughout all of the Southern States. This irresponsible conduct of the citizens, in disregard and contempt of the police and the courts, began soon after the War of the Rebellion and culminated in the overthrow of the regular State governments and the establishment of a series of corrupt and vicious oligarchies in which a considerable element of the citizenship has no standing whatever in the estimation of the police or in the administration of the courts. Individuals take criminal matters into their hands as often as they please, and the police and the courts rarely interfere with them. They are considered to be a police force and courts all unto themselves. It is high time that the doctrine be preached from the housetops that the police and the courts should be left to protect the life and property of the citizen and to hunt down and convict violators of the law, and that private citizens should be made to attend to their own business. The belief that the mob is superior to the police and the courts is gaining ground all over the country, and will lead to serious consequences at no distant day if a period shall not be put to it. It is to be regretted that President Roosevelt has allowed himself to get drawn into the matter in such wise as to seem to encourage the individual citizen to interfere in the work of the police and the courts.-The Age. George W. Chatters, an ex-slave, has been nominated for congress in the old "Shoe String" district, once represented by John R. Lynch, and will speak in various parts of the district. The Democratic party in the state of Oklahoma has imparted the race issue and is trying to carry its ticket by appeals to race hatred. Inconsistently enough, the Democrats are trying to teach the Indians to hate the colored people and class themselves with the whites. It is feared the Indians are open to persuasion in this direction. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON MERIT IS THE TEST. Almost at the very hour when at Atlanta and elsewhere savage Saxons were committing all sorts of crimes in the name of white supremacy over black people, a little 12-year-old colored girl, Hazel Handy, in Chicago, won a notable prize against a host of white competitors. The Chicago American has been carrying on a spelling contest among the school children of the city. When it came to award the prizes to the winners, it was discovered that the first prize belonged to a little colored girl. The American promptly awarded her the prize in the form of a check for $72. The little prize winner is the daughter of humble folks, and in a contest where mental brightness counts would scarcely have been thought of as coming within the range of a contestant. Perhaps it would not be uninteresting to note another incident of juvenile precocity in connection with the above. In the corridors of the Wendell Phillips High School in Chicago the other day everyone noticed a little colored boy confidently holding in his little arms some books, the size and title of which seemed far beyond his years. He seemed clearly out of place, and those who first noticed him thought he had mistaken the high school for a low-grade school. He, however, quickly undeceived them by showing that he had quickly and successfully passed all the lower grades and was, by virtue of successful examinations, passing to his seat among the high school students. These instances of mental precocity are not rare. In hundreds of schools these little students of poor and unlettered Afro-American parents are quietly and increasingly contradicting the false philosophy of a divinely appointed inferiority. Mr. R. W. Thompson, one of the ablest writers of the race, author of Thompson's Weekly Review, which appears regularly in "The Freeman," has the following to say anent the Supreme Court vacancies: Since law is so largely a matter of construction, it is of the highest importance to the people of this country that the Supreme Court should be made up of Justices who can be depended upon to construe the statutes in harmony with the best interests of the entire body politic. If the question as to what is "good law" is so largely a matter of individual opinion, every citizen of the republic is vitally concerned as to the kind of men whom the President places in a position to affirm or reject the legislation designed to relieve the ills that the masses complain of. Before a justice is named for our court of last resort, we are entitled to know, at least in a general way, what his views are touching the questions that affect our liberties and otherwise fix our status in the citizenry of the nation. President Roosevelt is about to fill the vacancy on the Supreme bench caused by the retirement of Justice Brown, of Michigan. It is widely known that Secretary Taft could have had the place, but it is pretty generally understood now that he will not accept the assignment, preferring to remain in the Cabinet. Rumors have been flying up and down the country to the effect that the President's choice will be a jurist who will reflect his off-repeated declarations that this is a "Nation" with a capital "N"—a man who will be favorable to the enlargement of the powers of the federal government, as against the traditional sovereignty of "States' rights." This later sentiment has long dominated the Supreme Court and it has colored every decision of moment, to the detriment of the development of the Nation, as such, and contrary to the popular feeling of this generation, which prefers to regard the fetish of States' rights as one of the relics of the late Confederacy that ought to have been her metically sealed in the grave dug for the putrid corpse of secession on the fateful field at Appomatox. In short, the report has gained currency that the President will appoint to the Bench a Justice who believes in a strong centralized government, and in the subordination of the state to control over only such affairs as are strictly local.

Mr. Oscar Everhart, who was supposed to leave for the South as chief bartender on the steamer Alliance, took the hint the reporter gave him and refused to go near the water.

Hill. Master Herman Hill Jr. gave a social to a few of his many friends. The evening was spent in playing cards, dancing and singing. Refreshments were served and the party, after wishing the boy to become a president, vanished for their homes. Among those present were Miss Bertha Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Griffin, Mr. and Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Kebble, Mr. M. McHinton and Mr. Wm. Duncan Sr. The last time he was heard from his minstrel troupe was stranded and Bing was found on top of a stump singing first "You're As Welcome As the Flowers in May," and then he looked into an empty bottle of Po land Club whisky and sang, "I Wonder if you miss me just as much as I miss you." After looking into the bottle a few minutes he began singing, "I'm going back, back, back to New Yorkorem. I did it before." NOT SO SCARED AS HE SEEKS A smart young drummer was his hired team along a bit of Wyoming road when he owed a rather dignified old gentleman was walking in the direction in he was driving. "Have a lift?" inquired "o' Simpson" genially. "Thank you, sir;" and the o' tleman took a seat in the buggy the drummer. The team happened to be a half-broken broncos—a fact which the drummer enlarged fully as he slackened the lins gave the horses their heads. They were off at a jump, and a buggy swung violently around the old gentleman was all but. Hello, Kiddo! Are you ready? 'Course you're goin'?' Going? Going where?' Is it possible I must now stop getting ready to tell you the big affair, when it's so close that it's almost time to begin to dress? Where've you been for the last decade? Surely you've heard: the breezes ablowing lately haven't you? Honest to goodness; some folks make me——' Here! Here! What's coming off anyhow? I may be a hankey-pank and a snoozer but don't be waste any more time if it's so close. Don't let what——? Snoozer? Snoozer, did you say? Well, I should guess yes. As a sleeper you must be in the Rip Van Winkle class, only you need if you have an earl of the Grand Ball on Thanksgiving. You're the first person I have seen that was not going and ready. The Willamette Club is giving the ball. That's a pretty good bunch at the head of it. It will certainly be me for the dizzy duds and the alais phiz on that P. X. for sure. Look for me. What's the admission? "Only fifty cents." "Alright, I'll grab me a bunch of girlarines and use my own judgement." "Skiddo! So long Mary! Don't forget the place and date—Foresters' hall. Nov. 25th.

Paris, Nov. 2.—The Cabinet has decided to include in its Parliamentary program the purchase of the Western Railway, and a bill providing for the abolition of the death penalty. War Minister Piquart's plan for the reform of courtmartial amounts to their entire suppression, substituting therefor civil procedure in the case of offenses punishable by common law, while disciplinary courts will deal with infractions of discipline.

A smart young drummer was driving his hired team along a difficult bit of Wyoming road when he overtook a rather dignified old gentleman who was walking in the direction in which he was driving. "Have a lift?" inquired "our Mr. Simpson" genially. "Thank you, sir;" and the old gentleman took a seat in the buggy beside the drummer. The team happened to be a pair of half-broken broncos—a fact upon which the drummer enlarged gleefully as he slackened the lines and gave the horses their heads a trifle. They were off at a jump, and as the buggy swung violently around a curve, the old gentleman was all but thrown out—to the great amusement of the smart young drummer. When this occurred a second time the old gentleman said politely: "If it is all the same to you, sir, I should be obliged if you would drive a little more slowly." "Oh, if you are afraid," sneered the young man unpleasantly, "perhaps you had better do the driving." The old gentleman looked at him for a moment with a look in his eyes which the drummer never forgot. "Perhaps you are right, sir," he said, with the utmost politeness, as he took the lines. Then he reached for the whip in the whip socket, and, leaning over the dash-board, he lashed first one bronco and then the other. "Be you fraid, sir?" he demanded, the drummer, but before the terrified drummer could reply he threw both lines out of the buggy, and the runaway horses, with the lines dragging, toore around the curves at a pace at which "our Mr. Simpson" never had ridden Both men were thrown out and the buggy splintered. The old gentleman, the first to arise from the wreck, stood over the prostrate drummer as he returned to consciousness, and again demanded: "Are you afraid, sir?" arrau, sr. The smart young man learned ultimately that his passenger was Major Wolton, whose reckless courage is a bword throughout Wyoming—Caroline Lockhart in November Lippincott's. M'Cresery to Be Minister Mexico City, Oct. 31. was stated here last night that Fenton R. McCreery, who for the past nine years has been secretary of the United States Legation and Embassy here would be appointed United States Minister to Columbia to succeed Minister Barrett, who is to be made United States Minister to Brazil.

OUR CHICAGO LETTER Chicago', Oct. 24th, 1906. Dr. D. H. Williams has gone to Texas on a visit. Miss Florence Hawkins of Lincoln, Neb., is in the city. Dr. A. C. Barner has gone to Little Rock, Ark., on a visit. Mr. James E. French has returned from the state of Kentucky. There is a great falling off in the attendance of the colored churches in Chicago. Bethel church is very poorly attended. Chicago has a murder craze among the colored people. Every day and night some colored person is killed by another colored person. Rev. W. H. Sanders of the St. Mary' A. M. E. church and Rev. Jessie Woods of the St. John's A. M. E. church are doing a splendid work in this city. People have a high regard for them. Dr. Alexander Lane, the colored candidate for member of the legislature from the first senatorial district of Chicago will be elected by a large majority. Dr. Lane is popular with the people. Especial session of the United Supreme Council of Scottish Rite Masons will be held in this city next week. The session will be presided over by the Sovereign Grand Commander, John G. Jones, of Chicago. Mr. Daniel Macon is making some very hot speeches against Oscar DePriest. This man, Oscar DePriest, who is a candidate on the Republican ticket for county commissioner, was placed on the ticket over the objection and protest of all the leading colonies of Chicago and they are going to see to it now, that Mr. DePriest will be defeated by 10,000 votes. At a meeting held last night by Calumet Club, Mr. Gray offered a series of resolutions which were adopted severely criticizing the conduct of Miss Alberta M. Smith, the Probation Officer of the Juvenile Court and stigmatizing her as wholly unfit for the position. A public meeting will soon be called in this city on the matter where speeches will be made by several prominent persons. It seems that great complaint has been made about what some of the Colored Probation officers have been doing. It is reported upon good authority that a club will soon be organized for the express purpose of communicating with the people throughout the country to prevent the election of Rev. A. J. Cary of this city and Rev. E. W. Lampton, now of Washington, D. C., to any position at the next general conference, that will be held in 1908. The very thoughts of such men as Rev. A. J. Cary of this city trying to be elected to a position in the general conference and the continuance in office of Rev. E. W. Lampton has raised a storm of indignation in this section of the country and the people will not be satisfied, until both of them are relegated to the rear. Miss Georgia Wilson who has been confined to her bed for several weeks is slowly recovering. Of interest to a wide circle of friends is the announcement of the marriage of Miss Barber Watson to Mr. Ham Harris, one of our most popular young gentlemen of our city. The musical entertainment given by the Household of Ruth was a grand success. After the program was rendered dancing took place until the wee hours of the morning. Mr. Bradshaw of our city, met with a sad accident while working on his house last Wednesday afternoon. He fell from a two-story house, breaking two ribs. He is now at the Fancapdock hospital. At this writing he is mending slowly. Mrs. P. A. Tanna entertained at dinner in honor of Mrs. Mitchell of Seattle. Among those present were Mrs. Mitchell, the honored guest, Mrs. E. F. Edson, Mrs. N. Simon, Mrs. P. Lawhorn, Mrs. Estella Gibson, Mrs. Duval, Mrs. L. Clark and Mrs. D. W. Gibson. Can't Fool Him on Turkey. Richmond, Va., Nov. 2.—The President, Mrs. Roosevelt and Surgeon-General Rixey, at Pine Knot, got up early this morning and started on a hunt for wild turkeys. The President has never potted a wild turkey and it is his ambition to add one to his record. Some of his neighbors undertook to play a joke on him by turning a floor of domestic turkeys of the mammoth bronze variety into the woods and driving them so that they would fall a prey to the President's gun, but Mr. Roosevelt would have none of the domestic birds.

Peterson of Columbia university has advanced the theory that the habit of daily newspaper reading leads to mental deterioration. He says that the man who habitually scans the newspaper, reading a bit here and there and gathering a disorderly array of unstable impressions, is affecting his brain by wearing out "the faculty of the tissues for permanent registration," and that he is cultivating the art of forgetting. At the same time, Dr. Crichton-Browne, the London physician, dealing with the same subject, says that the newspaper is the antidote to corrosive egotism, and glives the worldwide horizon to the purblind and shortsighted. He adds that if newspapers were suppressed we should have to enlarge our lunatic asylums. Test of Dunnite Shell. A torpedo shell loaded with 150 pounds of dunnite was exploded at the Sandy Hook proving grounds in the presence of members of the army board of ordnance and fortification, with the result that a steel caisson representing a section of the underwater body of a modern battleship, was sunk. This test may revolutionize naval construction, as radical changes in the plans of battleships will be necessary to enable them to withstand the force of this new explosive. The torpedo was placed at a depth of 15 feet distance from the caisson. It was 12 inches in diameter and 6 feet in length, so hung that its nose pointed downward at an angle of 45 degrees, to simulate the path of a shell fired from the mouth of a mortar or cannon. President Urges Religion: During the bicentennial of Christ church at Oyster Bay President Roosevelt said he could not understand why any American citizen fails to appreciate the essential need of religion for the welfare of his country. He thought that the different creeds were coming closer together all the time. Chicago's Summer Outing. The Chicago bureau of charities, in its weekly journal, Co-Operation, reports that 12,323 country outings have been given to the poor of the city's congested district. The transportation lines by rail and boat rendered effective assistance, and country committees aroused local interest by providing temporary homes for the "shut-ins." The total was nearly 4,000 more than last year. The one-week camp outings numbered 1,302, and the one-day outings came to 7,078. Besides this many settlements maintained their own summer camps. --- JUCHEMICH & CRAMER, Props. Manufacturers of Carbonated Beverages, Syrups, Extracts, Mineral Waters and Champagne Cider.

The fish in each instance were between three and four inches long." In 1898 the astronomical world was deeply interested by the discovery of an asteroid, Eros, whose mean distance from the sun is less than that of the planet Mars. Now comes the no less interesting and remarkable news that an asteroid has been found whose mean distance is greater than that of the planet Jupiter. This body was discovered at the observatory of Heldelberg last February, and since then the calculation of its orbit has revealed the fact that when at aphepion the little planet is about 4,000,000 miles outside the orbit of Jupiter. The provisional designation of the new asteroid is "1906 T. G.' This discovery increases the probability that the minute satellites recently discovered circling round Jupiter are captured asteroids. More and more the attention of the military authorities of the great nations is concentrated on the means of adapting the automobile to the transportation of field artillery. A French writer points out that the idea of a self-moving carriage for field-guns was suggested by the engineer Cugnot as early as 1760. At present, efforts are directed to the perfection of a form of automobile suitable to take the place of horses in drawing the artillery wagons. Many different forms of iron-clad automobiles, carrying light guns, have already been invented and tested, with more or less success; but the main problem is to adapt the automobile to the transportation of guns mounted, as at present, on their own carriages. In other words, it concerns the abolition of artillery horses. Australia's emus are being destroyed wholesale by the wire fences which have been erected to prevent the ravage of that country's rabbit pest. Every year the emu makes a migration from east to west, the return journey being made at the beginning of the dry season. The march of death begins in the westward journey, when the birds, striking the fences, find further progress barred and die in hundreds from thirst. A boundary rider in a journey of six miles found no fewer than fifty dead birds; while in a stretch of about sixty miles it was estimated that no fewer than 300 had perished. But in other districts matters appear to be even worse, boundary riders reporting that when riding along these fences they are hardly ever free from the stench of putrefying bodies. A complete track is found on the east side of these fences, worn by the maddened birds in attempting to find a passage to the coveted water. Only a very few appear to have the courage to charge the barrier and these, once over, make off westward at top speed. MRS. ARTHUR PAGET. An American Woman of the British Smart Set. We hear a great deal in one way or another about the pitiful failures and mistakes of American girls who marry foreigners. But there is another side to the story. These failures are the exceptions rather than the rule, and if one were to enumerate all the successes he would need much space for the list. Some of the foreign marriages are ideal and the glow of a beautiful domesticity is ever present in their lives. Such a one is the case of the daughter of the late Paran Stevens, a distinguished and MRS. ARTHUR PAGET. wealthy New Yorker. She married Arthur Paget, son of a well-to-do British family associated with the nobility and considered leaders in the smart set. Her married life has been very happy. She has a number of children, one of whom married a daughter of the late William C. Whitney of New York.

There is frequently more real love for humanity in the soul of the man who removes the banana skin from the pavement than in the heart of the donor of the memorial window in the church. Politeness, like all other faults and virtues, may become habitual. It is surprising how many small acts of kindness, how many little deeds of helpfulness, one may do in the course of a day when there are inclination to be kind and a lookout kept for the opportunity. One may set out with this intention in the morning, and the footing up at night—not to others, but to one's own secret conscience—will be cheering and encouraging. _____ Urgent Need of Information. The learned traveler had delivered his great lecture on the manners and customs of old Japan. "And now," he said, in conclusion, "I shall be pleased to answer questions pertaining to any peculiarities of this interesting people whom I may not have touched in my discourse." "Professor," eagerly asked a young married woman in the audience, "what do the Japanese do to plum juice to make it jell?" In the Opera Box. Miss Peachley—What funny sleeves yours are! Miss Capsicum—Yes; I have been laughing in them at that gown of yours. To Make Harness Last Longer. A little economy, which sometimes means a good many dollars to a man, is the proper care of harness, carriage tops, etc. Leather in daily use, exposed as it is to sun and wind, soon becomes dry, hard, inelastic, and unable to stand strain. Then, very likely at the most unfortunate moment, a break occurs, and precious time and money are lost. All this is easily prevented by a little forethought and care on the part of the owner. Every one owning horses should be supplied with a good leather preservative, and a good axle oil. These two things are necessary to the largest economical use of a working outfit, or a pleasure equipage. Observation has shown that no oil penetrates leather so deeply, and resists the drying effect of sun and wind so well as Eugreka Harness Oil. Neatfoot and some other inferior oils sometimes used, easily become rancid, or because of containing acid, hurt the leather. Stable men and others posted on the subject, invariably use Eureka Harness Oil. When harness is given an occasional dressing of this oil, and wagon spindles greased with Boston Coach Oil, a very large reduction is made in the necessary repair bills. Boston Coach Oil, by the way, is very much superior to Castor Oil. It has splendid lasting qualities, will not gum or corrode, and is more economical in every way. People who are after economical in stable management will do well to ask for these oils.

Knowledge of direction seems to be instinctive with the Burmans, says the author of "A People at School." They always reckon by the needle, not by relative position. They do not say "Turn to the right," but "Turn to the west." If a table in a room has two tumblers on it, one of them will be the east tumbler, the other the west, and the table itself will be not the "table near the window," but the "table In the east of the room." So they speak of the north or south side of a street or of a tree, not the shady or sunny side. Even in rain or mist they know the direction at once. An English traveler, walking in the Burman forest on a foggy morning to find all trace of the road wiped out by rain and every apparent means of ascertainting direction gone, was at a loss what to do, but his Burman servants knew at once. "That is north," they said, pointing, "and that is east. Our course lies between," and straight to the northeast they marched unerringly. HAD TO USE A CANE.

Book News Reviews. Anthony Flala, an Arctic explorer, is getting out a book called "Fighting the Polar Ice." He has been on two of the Zlegler expeditions, and on the last expedition he was in command. He tells many exciting stories of his adventures, and of one occasion when he nearly lost his life. The conflict of man with vast masses of ice is an unusual proposition. It is a conflict wholly new to us, and very interesting. Mr. Flala, at the time he made his last trip, was engaged to a Southern girl. Of course communication with any one at the North Pole is well nigh impossible, so that it was two years before his fliancee finally got word by cable that he was out of danger and on his way home. The new Kipling book, "Puck of Pook's Hill," is a collection of imaginary tales written for children but so much concerned with historical fact that they will arouse the interest as well as require the interpretation of older readers as well. These stories, like others which Kipling has written of late years for juveniles, were originally prepared for the entertainment of his own children, and it is said that the royalties on the book will go directly to the youthful readers who have been its first critics. Two imaginative children, Dan and Una, acting "Midsummer Night's Dream," out of doors in a part of England singularly rich in historical association, unwittingly call up Puck himself, who, by his magic makes them hear and see the events of ancient days. "Puck of Pook's Hill" will be published simultaneously in the United States, England, Canada, Australia, and in fact in all English-speaking colonies. The book will be illustrated by Arthur Rackman. No part of Mark Twalu's autobiography, which is now appearing serially in the North American Review, will be published in book form while he lives. Mr. Clemens says that he has already written 250,000 words of his autobiography, which he began many years ago. Not nearly all of this will appear serially. The autoblogger has not been at pains as to the form and system of this story of his life. It follows what he calls a "systemless system." His aim, he declares, has been to set down the things which have interested him in his lifetime. This seems to be a sensible idea; what interests the autoblogger is likely to be treated of by him in a more readable way than he might treat of subjects selected merely because they might interest the reader, Mr. Clemens says he confided his plans to Mr. Howells, who approved of them, which, as the autoblogger remarks, was wise and judicious. "If he had manifested a different spirit I would have thrown him out of the window. I like criticism, but it must be my way." Bram Stoker's "Personal Reminiscences of Henry Irving" is crowded with anecdotes and personal touches concerning Irving and his many friends and acquaintances, including most of the notabilities of the latter half of the nineteenth century. Naturally through his association with Irving, Stoker had many interesting experiences. He has many amusing stories of Irving. The following one illustrates the actor's modesty and lack of self-consciousness. The first year that Irving acted as examiner of the class for dramatic study in the Royal College of Music he received in answer to his report a genial and friendly letter of thanks for his services signed by the chairman. In acknowledging this letter to Sir George Grove, the director of the college, Irving added by way of postscript, "By the way, is our genial friend, Mr. Edward? I do not think I have met him." He got a horrified letter sent by a messenger from Sir George explaining that the signature was that of "Albert Edward"—now His Majesty Edward VII. Farragut's Pig. David G. Farragut was but thirteen years old when he served as midshipman under Porter in the battle of the Essex against the Phoebe and Cherub. He was taken to the Phoebe as a prisoner of war, says his latest biographer, and came aboard crying from mortification. At the same moment, however, a British middy also came alongside with a young pig in his arms. "A prize! A prize!" he was shouting. "Ho, boys, a fine grunter!" It was a pig that had been a pet in the steerage of the Essex, where it was called "Murphy." Farragut at once claimed it as private property. "You are a prisoner, and your plg, too," repiled the British milddy. "We always respect private property," said Farragut, grabbing the plg, and determined to hold on till forced to surrender. "Go it, little Yankee!" cried the oldsters present. "If you can thrash Shorty you shall have your pig." A ring was formed, and "Shorty" came at Farragut hammer and tongs; but the American was handy with his fists. He quickly laid his opponent low. The British bluejackets cheered him heartily, and the pig was declared to be his. Why should a woman feel flattered to be told she looks like an actress: Perhaps she looks like a one-two-three actress. The men have always contended that the eating is the best part of any party, and lately the women are beginning to agree. JOLLY JOKER "What is a practical joke?"

He was challenged with the usual, "Who goes there? After pondering a few moments, and the challenge being repeated, and thinking he might avoid punishment, he answered: "Kitchener." He was immediately knocked down with the butt end of a rifle. While he was on the ground ruefully rubbing his head, the sentry exclaimed: "Why, it's Callaghan! What did ye say it was Kitchener for?" "Shure," came the answer, "when ye would do this to Kitchener, phwat ye would do to Callaghan?" Baited the Wrong Fish. It sometimes happens that the cure is worse than the disease. It was in the case of the mother who tried to break her little Theodore of the habit of taking sweets off the sideboard. "We often have bonbons when there are guests to luncheon," she said, "and although Theodore promises not to touch them he always does."

"I carefully removed the inside filling from a chocolate drop and stuffed the shell with red pepper." "Did it work?" "It might have worked," replied the neighbor, "if Johnny had happened to spy it. As it was, I forgot all about it in the press of other matters, and at dinner-time the guest of the evening got it." CASTORIA The Kind You Have Always Bought has borne the signature of Chas. H.

Wit and ridicule were Lincoln' weapons of offense and defense, and he probably laughed more jury cases out of court than any other man who ever practiced at the bar. "I once heard Mr. Lincoln defend a man in Bloomington against a charge of passing counterfeit money," Vice President Stevenson told the writer. "There was a pretty clear case against the accused, but when the chief witness for the people took the stand he stated that his name was J. Parker Green, and Lincoln reverted to this the moment he rose to cross-examine. 'Why J. Parker Greene? What did that J. stand for? John? Well, why didn't the witness call himself John P. Green? That was his name, wasn't it? Well, what was the reason he didn't wish to be known by his right name? Did J. Parker Green have anything to conceal, and if not, why did J. Parker Green part his name in that way?" And so on. Of course, the whole examination was farcalal," Mr. Stevenson continued, "but there was something irresistibly funny in the varying tones and inflections of Mr. Lincoln's voice as he rang the changes upon the man's name; and at the recess the very boys in the street took up the slogan and shouted J. Parker Green!" all over the town. Moreover, there was something in Lincoln's way of intoning his questions which made me suspicious of the witness, and to this day I have never been able to rid my mind of the absurd impression that there was something not quite right about J. Parker Green. It was all nonsense, of course, but the jury must have been affected as I was, for Green was discredited and the defend-ant went free." Avoiding Temptation Slopay—Let's go up this side street; I see my tailor coming down the avenue. Diggs—Why, I never knew you to go out of your way to avoid meeting a creditor before. Slopay—Yes, but I happen to have money in my pocket this time, and I might be tempted to pay him. At the Night School.
