Must Eat the King's Meat or You Can't Live. The Old Soldier Returns After Jefferson City, Mo., July 22nd, 1902. "You can't tell what is goin to happen these days" said the old soldier "I used to think I wuz some kind uv a prophet, but I don't claim to be now'cause just when you think you have read the writin' on the wall and understand it, you find that things turn out jest opposite to what you thought they would. I don't spouse I'm the only one who thinks this way either. I guess Judge Sherwood will bear me out since the Springfield convention, you see I wuz at that convention and in fact I have tended all the conventions, that's the reason that I haven't been round fur sometime. I didn't have nuthin to say, but I wuz jest listenn' and they say that I am always butt'n in where I ain't wanted, but I don't care for that so I always git next to "what is doin." I could tell that Sherwood's chances wuz not very good before "I left here, but didn't say nuthin" bout it. But that State house nig went there to give the Judge a back seat and gave it to him, too. You see Sherwood hasn't been obeyin orders very well and that means they have to go; the fact uv the matter is its a case uv, "if you don't eat the King's meat you can't live." Its jest like it is at Lincoln Institute—it ain't the question uv ability but uv obedience. You know that whole board said that Clarke sent in the best report that had ever been presented to them and that he wuz jest the man fur the place, but when he begin to talk about puttin a good teacher at the head uv them shops instead uv a blacksmith they soon told him to walk the plank. And he had to walk, and things is goin to remain that way till they git that new Board, and I'm mos certin that we will git it, too. You see Dockery and Stevens ain't speakin now jest about some pintments Steven wanted to make and Dockery ain't libel to pint any one back in office that Stevens put in an the members of the Board whose time is out next are Stevens men and don't like Dockery, 'cause they know he won't pint 'em back on that Board. You see Dockery liked Clarke and when he wuz makin his talk to the sheep before given them their sheep skins he said he wanted to build up that school and wuz willin to do any thing to build it up and one of the Stevens Board members wuz fillin one of the boxes at the end of the stage and when Dockery said that he had to go out of the hall, 'cause he wanted to git a drink and it "wuz so warm in there any way." When Dockery heard that Clarke had been let out he called up one of the Stevens men on the Board over the telephone, asked him why he voted to put Clarke out and he said 'cause he wanted to, and asked if that wasn't reason en'uf. Dockery hung up the telephone receiver and looked out the window in direction of the bridge and winked, course I told you what that means and there's somethin' else too 'bout things out on that hill but I'll tell you right now I don't 'tend on tellin' you, less you cross your heart twice and promise that you aint goin' to tell it, course it is a family secret, and I jes' found it out by buttin' in. You see the folks isjes' gittin' their eyes open an gittin' on to things out on that hill, an the grumblin' is goin' on all sides. Why a man in Joplin said I wuz crazy the other day when I told him they had all white janitors out the. Another man in Springfield said he had been thinking of sending his boy up here but since he heard that they jest had a blacksmith at the head of them shops, he didn't think he'd send him, cause he spected that boy to learn a trade. Well I must git home, I want to sow some turnips befo' the rain, but I must be sho' that you will not tell what I spoke 'bout fo' I tell you."

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & Co., Toledo, O.

The teacher who is day by day making himself useless to the boys and girls, is indeed, serving them well. There is no more important equipment for life than that masculine turn of mind usually termed mental independence. Slowly, carefully but surely, one by one, cut the leading-strings by which you have guided your charges along the uneven journey of school life, until before you leave them, you induce them to turn their faces resolutely from you and walk confidently forward to battle with the problems of life single-handed. Do not help too much at any time. Help less and less as your pupils grow older and stronger. Put more of simple direction and suggestion into your work and less of doing for your pupils. Stimulate and develop mental independence.—Missouri School Journal. Ministerial Union. The ministers of the several churches in Columbia have organized a ministerial union with the following officers: Rev. A. A. Adams, Pres.; Rev. J. A. Grant, Sec. They will meet every Monday morning.

Please inform your people. Yours, etc. J. G. GALLEMORE, July 23, '02 Salisbury, Mo He Knows It All. From an Unknown Poet. "I love that man who knows it all, From east to west, from north to south; Who know all things, both great and small, And tells it with his tireless mouth; Who keeps the wondering world in awe The while he works his iron jaw." A man's ideas on reform in politics from day to day are very much biased by what kind of a breakfast he had. It is when little girls begin to sniff at little boys that it is time for their mammas to begin to keep an eye on them. When a woman makes love to a man it is a sign that he is going to get away from her unless some of her male relatives step in. When a man has reached the point where he thinks he knows all about gardening he has got foolish, he thinks he knows something about women. The first time a bride ever had a quarrel with her lord and master she asks him to forgive her; after that she asks him to ask her to forgive him. Good, hot biscuit are a stronger argument for domestic peace than many sermons and much exhortation. The man who knows how to build a fire in the parlor is a great deal nearer to the accomplishment of the unattainable than he ever dreams of. When a man's appetite for dinner is not as good as usual his wife begins to fret right away about whether he is wearing the right weight of underwear. MOSES H. CALDWELL 803 Ash St., Columbia, Mo.

TAFT. ‘He Says There Never Was a Fairer or More Impartial Man in the White House—Scores Catholic So- cieties—Says American Catholics Should be Forever Grateful for the President’s Noble Action. | President's Noble Action. St. Paul, July 28—Archibishop Ire- land, in an interview with the Asso- ciated Press today, reviewed at some length the progress of negotiations be- tween Judge Taft and the vatican, and took to task certain Catholic organiza- tions that have assumed to question the fairness of the administration toward the cor-religionists. ‘The archbishop reviews the progress of the negotiations at the vatican, and the success attending them, emphasizes the denial already made that the pope is displeased at the action of the car- dinals, and confirms the report that the pontiff is entirely satisfled with the re- splts thus far. He pays a high tribute to Governor Taft's ability and sense of Justice, ‘Then he pays his respects to those who have alleged proselytizing of the Catholics was being allowed in the Philippines, and says: “And now it is to be hoped that there will be among certain classes of Cath-' olics in America a cessation of move- ments and declarations such as we have had recent oceasfon to hear of regard- ing religious matters in the Phillp- pines. The pope teaches those Catholics to trust the American government, as they seemingly have been perfectly un- | willing to do. In his conversation with Governor Taft he expressed the highest esteem for American methoils of treat- ing church matters and remarked that he had more than once pointed towards the United States as setting an example well worth copying. His words ought to signify to those who profess to take him as their leader and guide. At any |rate the direction of Catholic affairs is his business, not that of irresponsible chureh societies or other persons; and when he informs Catholics that any one matter is in his hands they ought promptly to step aside and allow hii to have charge of it. The question of religion in the Philippines now is for- mally and officially his own, and it should be considered as such. “A few there may remain who will still believe they have a better under- standing of it then he has, and will in- sist on telling him how to handle it: but such as those are the few, and at Teast it will be clear that they ‘hold no brief whatever from the Catholic body at large, “Agitation, such as it was In certain Catholic quarters, did no honor to those who participated in it. As is now proven, they spoke and acted without due knowlege, and certainly without proper regard for the government of thelr country.” The archbishop suggests that those who have been finding fault should first have been certain that the abuses really existed, then proceed in a proper man- ner in seeking a remedy. It was to be expected in making such radical changes as were necessary in trans- ferring the government of the islands to the United States there would be some hardships. But “it was the rank- est rashness and rankest injustice to intimate that the government intended to proselytize the Filipinos or to do aught to detach them from the Catholic faith.” In continuing, Archbishop Ireland says: “To know in the slightest de- gree President Roosevelt, Secretary Root and Governor Taft Is to be certain that nothing of the kind could have heen thought of or could have been tolerated. Never did there reside in the white house a man more fair-mind- ed and impartial in religious matters, more resolute to give all classes of citi- | zens the religious rights granted them by the Constitution and protect them in these rights than President Theodore | Roosevelt, During his administration ‘Tit is unqualifiedly absurd to imagine governmental acts could be such as to | deny or impair the religions rights of any people or tribe over whom floats || the American flag.” | "He then quotes the letter of Father |. McKinnon, now residing in the arch- ‘Jepiscopal palace at Manila, to prove |Governor Taft had not the slightest trace of bigotry. Archbishop Treland -| admits there may have been individuals | who did the things complained of, but | they in no manner represented the gov- ernment, and if their wrong-doing had been reported to the government it | would have been summarily reproved, "|" “What stronger proof of the fair- | mindedness in settlement of the re- “|ligious question in the Philippines {|could the administration have given || than to respond graciously to the wishes }|of the vatican that a messenger from ‘| the American government should go t¢ "| Rome to discuss matters directly with the pope and his advisors?” asks the _| archbishop, and continuing says: {| “The American Catholics should b | forever most grateful to Presiden | Roosevelt for his noble action in this | regard. | “And as to schools in the Philippines, || why not—when the presence of non: '\Catholle teachers is talked of—stat | that out of a total of 5,000 teachers * | 8.500 ave Filipino Catholics?

SINKS NEAR HAMBURG. Accident Happens on the River Elbe —Yacht Primus Out in Two— Thirteen Bodies Had Been Recov- ered at Last Report—Loss of Life and Destruction of Property in Baltimore—Other Casualties. Hamburg, July 22.—The steam yacht Primus of the Hamburg-American line with 185 passengers aboard was cut in two and sunk by the tug Hansa on the River Elbe at 12:30 this morning. Bo far as ascertainable about. 50. persons were drowned. Thirteen bodies have already been recovered. The Primus ‘was an excursion steamer from Buzte- hude, province of Hanover, Prussia. ‘The disaster occurred between Blakens and Mienstedten, Among the passen- gers were members of the Eilbeck Male Choral society. At the time of the accident the Primus was crossing the river channel near Blankenes, from the southern in- to the northern Faitway. According to witnesses aboard the Hansa the move- ment was made too precipitately. The Primus struck the tug’s engine room and the Hansa endeavored to push her ashore, but the tug grounded and the ships parted. The Primus then sank. In the Interval, however, apout 50 of her passengers were able to reach Han- sa by means of ropes and ladders. Sev- enty more were picked up by the tug- boats while the others swam ashore. ‘The terrible panic that occurred on the Primus when the Hansa struck her rendered the efforts to save the passen- gers almost useless, Fortunately, the steamer Dolphin came up immediate- ly and sueceeded in saving 60 of those on the sinking steamer, while other boats assisted. Survivors furnished graphic deserip- tions of the disaster. Acording to their story the band was playing and many couples dancing when the crash came, ‘The vessel gave a great list the deck taking such an angle that it was im- possible for the passengers to keep thelr feet. Those below scrambled up the companionways, but most of the persons in the saloon were drowned, Men fought for their own safety re- gardless of others, “In the midst of the confusion the boilersexploded, adding to the horrors of the scene, More of the Primus’ pas- sengers would have been saved by ropes thrown from the Hansa had it not been that before those who seized the ropes could be hauled on board they were pulled off from the lines by others struggling in the water, and all were drowned. ‘This morning enor- mous crowds poured out from Ham- burg and the shore was thronged with thousands of friends and relatives of those aboard the sunken steamer. Many sad scenes were witnessed as bodies of the lost were washed upon the beach or brought ashore by divers, It is as- serted that divers have already recov ered 45 bodies but as yet it fs impossi- ble to verify the death list. An at- tempt will immediately be made to float the vessel, and when this is done it is believed more bodies will be found. ‘The estimated number of dead fs from 50 to 60. Hurricane at Baltimore. Baltimore, Md., July 21.—Thirteen persons perished and millions of dol- lars’ worth of property was destroyed by a hurricane which swept through Baltimore Sunday afternoon. The storm broke shortly after noon and came almost without warning, The wind swept all before it. Rocts were Sent whitling like so many cards, trees were stripped and uprooted, buildings were wrecked, fences blown down, and big windows’ in the business houses smashed, St. Mary's star of the Sea church was. demolished, entailing a great loss, while the roof on the Mer- chants’ and Miners’ steamboat pier was blown off, permitting the water to leak in and catising the goods there to be damaged to the extent of $400,000. In North Baltimore, where a camp meeting was in progress, a tree blew over on the tent, causing it to fall. The worshipers were buried under the can- vas, and one man was killed and many hurt. It was along the water that the reatest loss of life occurred. Being an extremely warm day, the shore re- sorts were liberally patronized by feas- ure seekers. All of the fishing boats along Middle and Black river were taken, while Spring Gardens and adia- cont Patapsco streams were alive with pleasure craft of every description.

Less than four months before the latter was ad- judged a bankrupt it had paid on these the sum of $14,600. When the affairs of the bankrupt company went into the hands of a referee, Trustee 8. L. Swarts moved that all claims of the bank be expunged unless it surrenders the $14,- 600, which had been paid on the notes it held against the company. The ref- eree granted the motion and the bank appealed to the federal district court, which directed the referree to deny the motion, Swarts made an appeal of the ease to the circuit court of appeals and had the judgment of the lower court re- versed, TERRIFIC STORM AT HASTINGS Chunks of Ice Weighing About a Quarter of a Pound Fell for Fifteen Minutes.

MILLION A WEEK TO BE RAISED . AS LONG AS STRIKE LASTS. A Stirring Address is Issued to the American People—Miners Deter- mined to Fight to the Last the Threatened Destruction of the Union—Question Not Entirely One of Wages. Indianapolis, Ind., July 21—At 1 o'clock this afternoon it was conceded that the United Mine Workers had ad- Journed after declaring against a gen- eral strike, and providing for the rais- ing of funds with which to ald the strik- ing anthracite miners, and issuing an appeal to the American people for sup- port. The recommendations brought in by @ special commission appointed in ex- ecutive session yesterday are practical- ly identical with those suggested by President Mitchell in his address on the first day of the convention, and were Unanimously adopted by the conven- ion. ‘They include an appropriation of $50,~ 000 by the national treasury, districts to donate such amounts as they can af- ford; an assessment of 10 per cent to be levied on earning members; local un- fons to work to secre employment for as many idle miners as possible, and the appointment of a committee to se- cure subscriptions outside of the un- fons. An address to the public was drafted sending forth the line of action deter- mined upon and the reason for such course, The address discusses rela- tions with combinations which control the coal industry and miners, declaring the former so powerful that no miner can hope, through individual effort, to ‘secure a just share of the wealth ‘bis labor has produced, “The extremely low wages paid the anthracite miners,” says the address, “and the refusal of the coal companies to have coal properly weighed, or per- mit miners to employ a man at their ‘own expense to see that the coal has been mine weighed, measured or credit ed; the great number of hours a miner must work each day in the most un- sanitary conditions; the cruel and un- just manner in which they have been treated by the petty bosses; the arbi- trary assumption by employers that neither the miners nor the public have any rights that are entitled to consider- ation by them, have forced us to organ- ize, not for the purpose of asking from operators that which belongs to them, but for the purpose of securing, by bus- iness methods, better treatment than we have received in the past, and fair recompense for our labor.” The address then considers at length the various efforts to change conditions and recites failure. It alleges that the question is not entirely one of wages, but a determination of the operators to destroy the union. “We believe,” say the miners, “we have within our reach the means by which that purpose can. be thwarted. No legal power can com- pel us to work if we desire to remain dle.” ‘The declaration is made that the struggle will be continued until the de- mands are granted or arbiters “have declared we are wrong.” The address appeals to the “people at large to bring all possible pressure to bear on officers and stockholders of the anthracite coat carrying railways and other anthareite interests to treat considerately the ap- peals of their employes for arbitra- tion.” In conclusion the address asks con- tributions of money from trade union- sts, every citizen whose interests are involved and others to assist in raising $1,000,000 a month as long as the strike lasts. ‘The report was adopted by a rising vote, every delegate being on his feet. ‘The miners of T!linois announced to- day that they had appropriated $50,000 for support of the anthracite strike. ‘Ohio gave $10,000 and Towa and Indiana promised contributions to be made Tater. President Mitchell expects the unions to contribute half of the $1,000,000 now in their treasury.

LIFE IN MARTINIQUE DISTINCTION MADE BETWEEN WHITES AND BLACKS. Caste Distinctions Are Made Prin- cipally on Differences in ‘Wealth, merchant, and his wife were not at St. Pierre, Martinique, at the time of its destruction. They were in the West In- Giles and intended to visit St. Pierre, but on account of the Martinique quar- antine, came straight to New York in- stead, arriving a week before the erup- on, In speaking of Martinique and its people, Mr. Everstadt sald: “In Martinique there is no color tine, no race distinction, and 1 dowbt if there is any other pjace in the world where this great quesfion of race color differ- ence is as lightly considered, and yet where there are barriers of class dis- tinction in other lines which are Insu- Derable, the class distinction between money ‘and poverty always remains, and is as closely drawn as is the color line in the United States. “Another characteristic is the self-re- lance of the people of Martinique, Some years ago the hurrieane wiped out srops, homes, houses, churches and took many lives. Then, for the first time in her history, Martinique appealed to the outside world for aid, “The French chamber of deputies enerously voted 3,000,000 francs for the relief of the stricken colony. Strange to say, Martinique never got one cent of the money. “The money was deposited in Paris to the credit of the Bank of Martinique, Dut the islanders, encouraged by the vote of the French parliament, applied themselves with renewed vigor to the task of rebuflding and restoring their devastated plantations. Loans were hegotiated by the planters and the funds voted from the French treasury were to asmall extent used as security for these loans. Not one cent of the money, however, was, withdrawn, and through ‘her pluck andjenergy, assisted infinitely by the fertility and abundance of her natural resources, Martinique recovered from the blow and resumed once more her wonted prosperity and position. “For all that T know, the 3,000,000 franes may still be in the Paris deposi- tory. The loans to the planters were all repaid by them. “To illustrate the commercial pluck of the average Martinique merchant, 1 will tell you about a man who carried on a general importing and exporting business in St. Pierre, and was among the victims of the Pelee eruption. His account with our house in New York was one of old-time standing and a considerable credit was frequently al- lowed him. “At the time of the hurricane he ca- bled us: ‘A terrible hurricane; every- thing lost. I cannot pay immediately.’ In reply we telegraphed him to draw on us for any sum he needed. “His answer was indicative of the sterling qualities of the average Mar- tinique merehant: ‘What have I done that you should treat me as a child?’ That man accepted nothing from us nor from anyone else. In a year his account was on a level. “When the great fire of 1880 came he was again wiped out. Again came the cable announcing disaster and ruin. He was bankrupt this time, he said. and craved indulgence until he could get on his fect. Thinking that this time ke might be glad to avail of our services, we cabled him to draw for all his wants. He never ace-pted a cent, and since then until the time of his death in the recent disaster he has been transacting his New York business through another house, considering that we had slighted and insulted him with our offers of assistance. “Of the commercial houses In Mar- tinique, fully one-half are owned and managed by colored people. ‘The man of whom I just related that little inci- dent was a colored man, “When I first visited Martinique, in the early 70's, I took with me letters to a certain gentleman naraed De Paz. He was a white man, and his manners of the old school made a deep impres- sion on me. Our acquaintance lasted until his death two years ago, ana for many years olr New York house trans. acted all his American business. “From him T learned how deep was the old royalistic prejudice against the colored man at that time. He was the agent in Martinique for the Perinell family of France, who for centuries car- ried on the suger industry in the West Indies with unparalieled success. His ideas were of the 18th century, and he lived in a veritable palace, which was like a reduced copy of Versailles. There he died, without ever having received or having been approached by a color- ed man. Thus did he draw the distinc- tion of color. K “On the other hand, in 1880 there was living—no more than a mile from De Paz's magnificent house, a fvlend of mine who was in color as dari as the darkest inhabitant of the Congo. M. Lallung was respected by his_ fellow townsmen, and he had held the office of mayor of St. Plerre for many years “When these two men met by ¢hance no street in St, Pierre was wide enough and when they spoke to each other, i was always with a statement of regret that the other was of the opposite race Bach died without ever having taker the hand or having spoken to the oth: er. ‘ “Now, to show you how things in Martinique have changed since then when my wife and I arrived. in St Plerre last November, ous first call was on young M. Lallung, the son,of my colored friend, who died ten or 15 years ago. With a courtesy and gentlenes: of manner inherited from his father, M Lallung at once invited us to pass ‘the remainder of the Gay with himyat his country villa Morne Rouge. = “In an instant there was a éarriags at the door, but we had hardly.starte when the young man stopped the car meeting in undiguised affection. “Both young men met the same fate ‘They and theirs perished in the fright- ful catastrophe of Mont Pelee, “Thus it is in Martinique. The two races divide equally the trade and com- meree of the island, and in all matters they are firmly united. In fact, nu merically the better class of colored people slightly predominate in Mar- tinique.” DIED IN THE DESERT. Death of John Brown's Grandson in the Colorado Waste. Tuma Sentinel: J, A. Adams, a tor- mer resident of Arizona, and a grand- son of old John Brown, whose “sou! goes marching on,’ wondered away from his camp on the Colorado desert on May 19 and perished for want of water. The story of his disappearance is graphically told by Charley Fay, one of the party, us follows: “We went ont on the desert pros- pecting for gold. An Indian whom we had employed to show us where to find water on the desert caught his foot in the stirrup while mounting his horse and fell on his back. “The horse started to run, dragging the Indian by one foot. As the ground was covered with Jagged rocks, the In- dian would have been killed had not Adams run up and taken the horse by the bit. ‘The animal, with fright, reared and plunged. Adams was twice thrown upon the rocks, and once the horse’s hoofs hit him, but he still gripped the bit until Mr, Lamere and I succeeded in releasing the Indian, “After the danger was over, Adams “sat down npon a rock and began laugh- ing, and when asked if he was hurt. he replied: ‘Oh, no. I'm only a little tired, but T guess you'll have to help me set this arm.’ We then started for Yuma, Adams riding some 25 miles that afternoon and never once complaining though we could see by his drawn fea: tures thathe was suffering intense pain. “At dusk we camped for the aight and within an hour the injured man was delirious and raving like a maniac Some time during the night he left camp, As soon as we discovered that he had gone we made every effort tc fing him, but we could not do much until daylight, when we found his tracks In the sand. We followed the tracks all that day and until about ‘ o'clock the next day, when we came tc a had, rocky place at the foot of some rock rills. Here we lost the trail, and try as we might we could not find i again. “For three days we searched the hills but not a trace of the man conld we discover, thongh we well knew that somewhere within a radius of 20 or 3! miles lay the body of one of the bravest men that ever lost their lives in that great death-trap—the Colorado desert.’ ‘There is more Catarth in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be Incurable, For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local dix. ease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

If the Liberty bell comes to St. Louis, it will be the sixth journey which the bell has taken.

The other four journeys of the bell have been to American expo- sition: To Chicago, in 1893; to Atlan- ta. in 1895; to New Orleans, on the east bank of the Mississippi river, in 1885, and to Charleston, in 1901-'02.

Regulations Governing the Action of | Bishop Dudley’s Story of His Meetin the Treasury. With a Sociable Drummer. New York Evening Post: Inquiries are received daily at the United States subtreasury in this city respecting the redemption of mutilated or burned cur- reney. It often happens that portions of United States notes are destroyed, ‘or become so disfigured as to render them unfit for cirenlation, These are always redeemed when accompanied by proper affidavits accepted by the gov- ernment authorities. But the most dif- ficult cases with which the officials have to deal concern instances where the en- tire note has been destroyed or lost. In these cases the government can do nothing but reject the application, there being no warrant in law for the redemption of currency except in in- stances where portions, however small, of mutilated bills are returned. Treasury officials have the right. to return the entire face value of a mutil- ated note to its owner if he presents satisfactory evidence of the loss. In such cases the circumstances have to be reported to the treasurer of the United States at Washington for action. But where three-fifths or more of ‘a bill is presented at a subtreasury the offi cials are permitted to redeem in full Without reference to Washington. In cases where only half the bill has been preserved. the owner {s reimbursed for ‘half the face value, Government officials are governed in their action by these sections of treas- ury cirewlar No. 32, promulgated March 23, 1900: United States notes, treasury notes of 1890, gold certificates and silver cer- tifleates, unfit for circulation, when not mutilated so that less than three-fifths ot the original proportions remains may be presented to the treasurer ot any assistant treasurer for exchange at face value for new United States pa- per currency. Fractional currency notes are redeemable in lawful money. « United States notes, treasury notes of 1890, fractional currency notes, gold certificates, silver certificates and na. tional bank notes, when mutilated sc that less than three-fifths, but clearly more than two-fifths of the original proportions remains, are redeemable by the treastirer only at one-half the face value of the whole note or certificate. Fragments not clearly more than two: fifths are not redeemed, unless accom- panied by the evidence required t paragraph 13 (below). Fragments less than three-fifths arc redeemed at the face value of the whole note when accompanied by an af- fidavit of the owner or other person: having knowledge of the facts that the missing portions have been totally de: stroyed, The affidavit must state th cause and manner of the mutilation and must be sworn and subscribed t before an officer qualified to administer oaths, who must affix his official sea thereto, and the character of the af flant must be certified to be good by such officer or some one having an of ficial seal. Signatares by mark (X must be witnessed by two persons whe can write, and who must give thel places of residence. ‘The treasurer wil exercise such discretion under this reg ulation as may seem to him needful t protect the United States from fraud Fragments not redeemable are rejectes and returned. Paper currency whict has been totally destroyed cannot b redeemed, The department does no furnish blank forms for affidavits.

Bishop Dudley's Story of His Meeting | With a Sociable Drummer. |_New York Tribune: The Rt. Rev. Thomas Underwood Dudley of Ken- tucky, one of the eminent bishops in ‘the Episcopal church, enjoys a good story as well as if he did not wear the cloth. He tells this one on himself: “A number of years ago he was going by train to one of the smaller towns of his diocese to hold services, He was enjoying a cigar in the smoker, and upon the seat facing him was a’ very large valise, containing his clerical vestments. ‘A drummer sitting back of him, noticing his jaunty traveling cap, leaned forward and inguired: “Traveling man, eh?” “Yes,” answered the bishop. “What, house d'ye represent?” “The biggest house in the world.” “Shillito?” (the largest house in Cin cinnati) asked the drummer, “Bigger than that,” “Marshall Field?” “Bigger than that.” “A. T. Stewart's?” “Rigger yet.” “Well, what house is it? Those are the best I know.” “1 represent, sir,” said the bishop, | impressively, “the house of God.” | The salesman gave a gasp, then glancing at the mammoth vallse, ex- claimed: “Well, all I have to say is, you carry a prety full line of santples,” MANY DISCOVERIES HERS. College Girl Whose Delight in Litera ture Interested Friends. New York Tribune: When speaking “tn Praise of Books” at the commence= ment exercises of Bryn Mawr colleke, Richard Watson Gilder told of a good friend of his who found. in almost every new book taken up something to surprise her. “Something so very much in the nature of a discovery,” he said, “that it became a sort of joke among us—these ‘discovertes’ of hers. “A. party of ns. were making that ever-wonderful Hudson river trip once,” he went on, “and this woman, whom f regard as one of the ablest of an.ablo sex, had a great deal to tell us of the workings and appearances of the devil idea in literature, both sacred and pro- fane. It was obviously her latest dis- covery, and her enthusiasm was such that at Peekskill one of the party went ‘ashore and wired a mutual friend In New York. “phe telegram did not reach its des- tination until quite late that night, and ‘the recipient was feeling a bit under the weather, It was this combinstion, taken with the seeming triviality of the message, that Inspired the reply: ‘Tell Emma to follow up her discovery.” HANDKERCHIEFS FOR A WEEK. One For Each Day Shown in a Down- Town Store. “Bridal sets of handkerchiefs,” which ure shown in a down-town store, are as dainty as their name would indicate, In each set are seven handkerchiefs, one for each day in the week. The squares are of the finest French linen, hand-woven and hand-embroldered, They are finished with a hemstitched border one-quarter of an inch wide, In one corner is embroidered, with exqui- site daintiness, a floral design In which is introduced the name of the day of the week: Monday's handkerchief has a cluster of violets—the flowers and foilage— caught with a graceful lovers’ knot. Tuesday has a pretty design of a rake, hot, springling can, and garden hat, with vines twining in and out, with the lovers’ knot effectively introduced, For Wednesday there is a cluster of clematis caught with the lovers’ knot; for Thursday, a Louis XV. basket, with scattered daisies and a fluttering but- terfly. In the corner of Friday's sheer linen square is a dove—the symbolic Jovebird—brooding among pretty vines, Tiny daises with the lover's knot are embroidered in the corner of Saturdays ‘handkerchief, and on Sunday's is a ‘dainty design of Cupid's boy and quiv- jer, the true love knot and forget-me- nots. ‘War and the Birth Rate. ‘War not only influences the mortali- ty of the army in the field, but has a maleficient effect on the birth rate and death rate of the country which is fighting. A low birth rate may be ex- plained, to some extent, by the fact that when a nation is at war her people at home are less prosperous:and conse- quently marriages are not so frequent, ‘The Increase of the death rate oc- curs, probably, for the reason that food is scarcer and also because at a time when a country 1s engaged In a disas- trous war the minds of its Inhabitants are adversely affected. Those who are in delicate health, or who are attacked with sickness, succumb much more readily when ‘the spirits are low than when in @ normal condition.

Look up the record of the men on your ticket before voting in November. Columbia should try paving one street just to see how it goes, broadway for instance.

DONT vote for a republican because he is a republican or because "Abe" Lincoln was a republican, but vote for him because you believe he is the best man for the office to be filled. We had the pleasure of publishing last week the largest list of new subscribers we have yet published at one time, this is encouraging and shows that the Professional World is growing. A good news paper in central Mo., has been a long felt negro want so get your name on our list. The Professional World never misses an issue. It is claimed that under the new registration and election law of North Carolina fully twenty-five thousand white men have been disfranchised because of their failure to pay poll tax by July 1, which is one of the provisions of the law. The law was intended to disfranchise the Negro voters of the state, but it was thought that the white voters would pay the poll tax as they could qualify otherwise under the provisions of the law without let or hinderance, but this has been a disappointment to those who gave the assurance that the law would allow every white man to vote and disfranchise nearly every Negro. It is seldom that these measures which are intended to discriminate do not prove in the long run objectionable in more ways than one and always prove harmful.—American Baptist. 50 YEARS' EXPERIENCE PATENTS TRADE MARKS DESIGNS COPYRIGHT & C.

THE BIG FAIR—1902. Some of the Things You Will See Here August 5 to 8. We are asked to say to the merchants and business men of Columbia, that if any wish to offer special premiums for displays at the Columbia fair they will be permitted to do so, though no canvass will be made for same. There will be on exhibition a $3000 quilt, which took the premium at the Paris exposition, and is well worth seeing. It is secured by Mr. J. E. Crumbaugh, who will have charge of the floral hall. The wool exhibit of Missouri at the Charleston and Buffalo expositions will be on display at the floral hall and should be seen by everybody. There will be big, corn, pumpkins, grass, wheat, vegetables, fruits, and everything usually seen at an old fashioned county fair. Fine stock will abound; fast horses and pretty woman will make the old-timers think they are back in old Kentucky. The fact is you can't afford to miss the Columbia fair. The managers assure us it will be bigger and better than ever. Missouri Medals. Something of what Missouri is in matter of agriculture may be seen in the show window at C. B. Miller Company's shoe store. The window is decorated with medals and certificates given for various products at the Charleston and Buffalo expositions, such things as wool, corn, seeds, apples, mineral, and a dozen others. There is also a photograph of Liberty Bell; of Missouri's Agriculture and wool displays, and other interesting things. They were brought home by J. E. Crumbaugh, and placed in Mr. Miller's window for inspection of the public. Double Tragedy at Marshall. Marshall, Mo., has had its recent tragedy, and is up with Columbia and Mexico in this respect. Saturday night George Wiley called on Miss Dovie Lynch, they quarreled and Wiley shot her, then put the revolver to his head and blew out his brains. He shot the young lady on the veranda. The two had been sweethearts. Marriage Licenses this Week. L. L. Hart and Mary W. Meredith, of Shaw. Charles Herndon and Minnie Beshears, colored. D. T. Day and Mrs. Minnie M.

Wilson, who was a bachelor, died Dec. 28, 1898, leaving Press Oliver his sole beneficiary. Relatives sought to break the will on the ground of duress and undue influence, but the circuit court, presided over by Judge John A. Hockaday, has unpheld the will. Record-Breaking Wheat. A special from Ellsberry, Mo., says:—A record breaker for this season on wheat yield and quality was received at the elevator here this week from W. O. Mayes. Ninety acres made forty bushels to the acre, and weighed sixty-one and one-half pounds to the bushel. Postoffice Not an Advertising Medium. The World's Fair canceling stamp that has been used by Postmaster Baumhoff of St. Louis for some time and which has advertised the Fair all over the country will have to stop its good work. Its use is contrary to the postal laws, and dispatches from Washington state that Postmaster Baumhoff will probably be requested to cease its use in a few days. At the time of the Pan-American Exposition the Buffalo postmaster secured permission to use a canceling stamp to advertise the exposition. The idea became popular and requests came in from all over the United States asking the privilege of using such stamp canceled to advertise small county fairs and other exhibitions of minor importance. Because of this the postoffice department decided to refuse all such requests. The postmaster at Charleston was not allowed to use such a canceling stamp either before or during the exposition in that city. The Bible as a Serial. The Assumption Independent, a weekly newspaper, published at Pana, Ill., announces that it will begin the publication of the Holy Bible this week, commencing with Genesis and continuing until the whole is published.

Harrisburg can boast of more ex-postmasters than any town of its size in the state.

If this can be beat in any one neighborhood in the county, we would like to hear from them. The Railroads. WABASH Time Table—Columbia Branch. GOING SOUTH. No. 33, Arrive Columbia... 8:15 a. m.
