THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD. $1.00 Per Year in Advance. Presidents Life in Danger. PITTSFIELD, MASS., September 3.—The life of the President of the United States was put in imminent danger on the road between Pittsfield and Lenox this morning. One of his party, William Craig, a secret service agent, was killed. Several others, including Secretary to the President George B. Cortelyou, were bruised and cut. Prof. White Here. Prof. J. U. White, candidate for State Superintendent of schools was in the city Friday and called on the Professional World.

Master Georgia Caldwell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Moses H. Caldwell of Columbia is making a fine record for himself. Georgia attended school at Fisk University last year and is now in Chicago, where he has been working during vacation preparing to return to school in October next. Georgia is quite young to be battling for himself in the world, but it simply shows the difference in boys and what there is in them. Columbia has a number of boys or rather young men who could do as well as Georgia and should take him as an example. Notice to Subscribers Beginning with our next issue The Professional World will be published on Saturdays instead of on Fridays. Persons who live in Columbia will find it necessary to call at the office on Sundays in order to receive it before Monday morning. Auxyasse Notes. Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Bradley attended stock-sale in Fulton, Monday, while there Mr. Bradley purchased an excellent farm mare. Miss Janette Norton, of Mattoon, Ill., opened school in Auxvasse on the 1st. This is Miss Norton's 2nd year's work in Auxvasse. Before coming here she taught two years in the adjoining district with success. This speaks well for Miss Norton as a teacher. The health of the people of this community is generally good with few exceptions. There is more of a demand for a cook than for a Doctor. Notice.

When the present King Edward of England visited this country as the Prince of Wales for forty years ago, he was entertained at the White House in Washington by President Buchanan, his niece Miss Harriet Lane doing the honors as Mr. Buchanan was a bachelor. The King remembers so well the courtesies extended him then, that Miss Lane, who is now Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnson, was personally invited by the King to attend his coronation, among his especial guests. The Beef Trust, which has recently gained more disagreeable notoriety than any combine the people have had to do with, carried things with such a high hand that it was believed no power of the courts could be brought to bear upon it. But injunction proceedings were begun and Judge Alden Chester of the New York Supreme Court granted the injunction restraining the trust from fixing prices, thus breaking its power as far as the law can go. Diplomatic circles in Washington are pleased with the appointment of the Hon. Michael Herbert to succeed the late Lord Paucefote as English Ambassador to the United States. This country is also well pleased because Mr. Herbert is not only a man of ability, but his wife is an American woman, being the daughter of R. T. Wilson of New York City. Mr. Herbert is Secretary of the British Embassy at Paris, and will not take his position at Washington until September. Peace has at last come to the Boers and their submission to the English government is the price of it. As a special favor to President Kruger, he will not be asked to acknowledge the ascendancy of England. Lord Kitchener, through whose efforts the war was pushed to the 'end, will be made a Viscount and be granted a gift of $250,000. The terms of peace were advantageous to the Boers, if they will accept them in the proper spirit, but many will still refuse to submit. WORDS IN A LEAD PENCIL Ingenious Calculations Which Sle What Can Be Done With Sev Inches of Lead. Some one has been calculate the number of words in a pencil, and he has published the result in an Orleans "I have," he says, "been ing on the possibilities of wo a lead pencil, and you wou One of the best known colleges through the West and South, is Oberlin College at the town of that name in Ohio. It was one of the first colleges to admit colored students equally with white. Very many teachers have graduated from Oberlin. Its President, Dr. John Henry Barrows, died there recently, aged fifty-five years. New York is said to be the most charitable city in the world, and it should be, with all the people of vast wealth it has. A notable charity is that of the establishment all over the city of milk booths, where the poor may get a bottle of prepared milk for children at one cent a bottle, or of the ordinary kind, pure, for nothing. This charity has been dispensed by Mr. Nathan Strauss, a millionaire, for ten years past, and last year 800,000 bottles were sold and given away, and millions of glasses were sold at a cent a glass. The milk depots are kept open only during the summer months. THE MAKING OF A GENTLEMAN. Rev. Dr. Madison Peters, of Brooklyn, New York, tells the mothers of the land to make their boys gentlemen. He says: "Let your boy with the first lisping of speech be taught to speak accurately on all subjects, be they trivial or important, and when he becomes a man he will scorn to tell a lie. "Early instil into your boy's mind decision of character. Undecided, purposeless boys make namby-pamby men, useless to themselves and to everybody else. "Teach your boy to disdain revenge. Revenge is a sin that grows with his growth and strengthens with his strength. Teach him to write kindness in marble, injuries in the dust. "There is nothing that improves a boy's character so much as putting him on his honor-trusting to his honor. I have little hope for the boy who is dead to the feeling of honor. The boy who needs to be continually looked after is on the road to ruin. If treating your boy as a gentleman does not make him a gentleman, nothting else will. "Let your boy wait upon himself as much as possible. The more he has to depend on himself the more manly a little fellow he will show himself. Self-dependence will call out his energies, bring into exercise his talents. The wisest charity is to help the boy to help himself. "Happy is the father who is happy in his boy, and happy is the boy who is happy in his father. "Many sons of most pious fathers turn out badly because they are surfeited with severe religion, but not the religion of Christ, who was himself reproved by the prototypes of such severe men." THE LAY OF THE LAZY MAN. Winter is too cold for work; Freezing weather makes me shirk. Spring comes on and finds me wishing I could end my days a-fishing. Then in summer, when it's hot, I say work can go to pot. That's the way the seasons run. Seems I can't get nothing done. —London Express. Pointed humor from the Jackson County Judge: "There is a dead cat lying near walk between: Pleasant and Union streets on west Lexington, and its breath is very offensive." WORDS IN A LEAD PENCIL. Ingenious Calculations Which Shows What Can Be Done With Seven Inches of Lead. Some one has been calculating the number of words in a lead pencil, and he has published the result in an Orleans paper. "I have," he says, "been figuring on the possibilities of words in a lead pencil, and you would be surprised to know what a man can do with one lead pencil. How many words are there in a lead pencil? How many columns of newspaper matter? How many pages of a book of the average size? In the first place, the average pencil is seven inches long. The average diameter of the pencil used by men who write a great deal is one-twelfth of an inch. Considering the wood and lead the point of a pencil measures about one-half of an inch, one-quarter of an inch representing the lead portion. "Allowing for breaks and scratches," continues this ingenious statistician, "one-quarter of an inch of lead will write two columns of matter for the ordinary newspaper, assuming that the pencil is not of the extremely soft character. There are about 1,800 words in a full column of a newspaper of the average size. Two columns would represent 3,600 words. So we get this number of words out of one-quarter of an inch of lead. Out of an inch of lead we would get four times 3,600, or 14,400 words. Out of seven inches we would get 100,800 words. So far as the number of words is concerned we have in this result the possibilities of the lead pencil. Allowing 1,800 words to the column, this would mean 56 columns of solid matter, of an eight-page paper of seven columns to the page. NEW RULES FOR BARBERS Razors Must be Sterilized and Sponges Must Not be Used. In accordance with its determination to bring about a betterment of sanitary conditions in barber shops and barber's schools and colleges throughout Missouri, the barbers' state board of examiners has drafted a code of sanitary rules and regulations by which all such institutions must be governed in the future. This code has received the approval of the state board of health. The code becomes effective at once. The rules governing sanitation which apply to Moberly, are as follows: "All barber shops will hereafter be required to keep their premises in an absolute sanitary condition, as follows: The floors shall be washed and scrubbed with hot water, strong soap or lye frequently; the wood work and furniture shall be cleansed with a damp cloth, removing the dirt from the cracks and crevices. The brushes, towels, and linens must be sterilized or boiled before use. The razors, clippers and scissors must be cleansed and dipped in 10 per cent solution of formaldehyde on the completion of each customer. The hands must be thoroughly cleaned before beginning on any customer. Special attention must be given to the finger tips and nails, and the cracks of the palms of the hands. All articles used upon one customer must be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected before using the second time, in order to guard against the transmission of skin disease. "The use of sponges, powder puffs are strickly forbidden and shaving mugs, brushes and soaps must be thoroughly cleansed before used on any person, and under no circumstances will soiled towels be permitted for wiping or drying the face of patrons.

THORNTON & MINOR, 999 Oak St. Kansas City, Mo: use of alum or other substances used to stop the flow of blood must be used only in powdered or liquid form. "When serving persons who have eruptions on the face or scalp, the barber shall immerse all metal tools, brushes and combs that have been used on such a person in 20 per cent solution of formaldehyde for one half hour before again using said articles. All towels and damp cloths used shall be boiled for one-half hour. The hands of the operator shall be thoroughly washed in soap and water, then in an antiseptic solution acid carbolic 10 per cent of formaldehyde solution 5 per cent before he will be permitted to serve another customer. "Every barber shop failing to comply with these rules will be judged incompetent and disqualified. "Any barber shop, whose proprietor or manager has been found guilty of a violation of any of these rules shall be cited to appear before the board and show cause why his or her certificate of registration shall not be revoked and upon failure to show cause said certificate shall be revoked by the barbers' state board of examiners, these rules being designed solely to prevent impositions upon the public." WHAT THE COAL STRIKE IS ABOUT. The following is clipped from the St. Louis Chronicle: The Chronicle complies with the request to restate the differences between the anthracite trust and the 145,000 striking miners who are on strike in Pennsylvania: The operators contend: First—That there is no possible scale that would apply to all anthracite coal miners, as each one is a problem in itself, and subject, therefore, to an individual scale of wages. Second—That all questions must be settled between the miners and their immediate superintendent. Third-That miners have no right to refuse to work with nonunion men, as the right to labor is inalienable, and the companies can not be a party to any agreement that would interfere with or hamper this right. Fourth-That the operators shall deal with their men as individuals. The miners ask: First-That the working day shall consist of 8 hours, with the same wages that are now paid for 10 hours' work. Second—That the miners shall receive an advance of 5 per cent in the contract price now paid for mining coal. Third—That coal mined shall be weighed wherever possible; that 2,240 pounds shall constitute a ton, and that the men shall have a representative to check the weights. Fourth—That a minimum wage scale for day laborers at the mines shall be established, similar to the scale that exists in the bituminous fields. Fifth—That the union shall be recognized. The miners have offered to submit the whole question, for any part of it, to arbitration, while the trust refuses to arbitrate the differences as a whole or any part of them. VOL. I. NO. 43. ORIGINAL WORDS OF "YANKEE DOOLE." While the English were yet in Boston, after the arrival of Washington at Cambridge in 1775, some poet among the British wrote the following piece of ridicule of the New England troops. It is the original "Yankee Doodle" song: Father and I went down to camp, Along with Captain Goodwin, Where we see the men and boys As thick as has hasty-puddin. There was a Captain Washington Upon a slapping stallion. A-giving orders to the men! I guess there was a million. And then the feathers on his hat, They looked so tarnal fine-a I wanted peckily to get— To give to my Jemima. And then they had a swappin' gun, Large as a big long maple, On a duced little cart— A load of father's cattle. And evey time they fired it off It took a horn of powder; It made a noise like father's gun— Only a nation louder. I went as near to it myself As Jacob't underpinin' And father went as near again— I thought the duce was in him. Cousin Simon grew so bold, I thought he would have cocked it; It scared me so, I shrinked right off, And hung by father's pocket. And Captain Davis had a gun, He kinder Clapped his hands on it, And stuck a crooked stabbing iron Upon the little end of it. And then I see a pumpkin shell As big as mother's basin, And every time they touched it off They scampered like the nation. And then I see a little keg, Its heads were made of leather; They knocked upon't with little sticks To call the folks together. And then they'd life away like fun, And play on corn-stalk fiddles; And some had ribbons red as blood, All wound about their middles. The troopers, too, would gallop up, And fire right in our faces; It scared me almost half to death, To see them run such races. Old Uncle Sam come then to change Some pancakes and some onions, For lasses cakes to carry home To give his wife and young ones. I see another snarl of men A digging graves, they told me. So tarnal long, so tarnal deep, They 'tended they should hold me. It scared me so, I hooked it off, Nor slept as I remember, Nor turned about till I got home, Locked up in mother's chamber. "Eloped with $80" is the way the Moberly Democrat heads the story of a young fellow who, it is charged, stole that sum from his grandfather near Jacksonville recently. The old man was probably wedded to his money. Four secret service men made a rush for President Roosvelt and surrounded him when the lights went out during the reception in Burlington, Vt. It is fortunate for the secret service men that the President knew who they were.

ROOSEVELT ON TRUSTS ANSWERS CRITICS IN SPEECH AT FITCHBURG, MASS. Thousands of People Applaud Him—Stands by the Position He Took While Governor of New York—Opposes Evil in Trusts—Greeting According Chief Executive on His Arrival in Springfield. Fitchburg, Mass., Sept. 3.—The first important stop of President Roosevelt after he had resumed his travels through Massachusetts today was at this city, where he found the people keeping a general holiday. A stop of an hour was made and the president delivered an address. The president had a restful night at Northfield. He took his train promptly at 8:20. The first speech of the day was at Miller Falls. At Athol and Gardner speeches also were made. At the latter place fully 10,000 people greeted him. Harvard flags were everywhere in evidence, and as the president ascended the platform a number of boys gave college yells. He spoke of the necessity for good citizenship in order to be successful in life. President Roosevelt in his address at Fitchburg devoted himself almost exclusively to the trusts, which he intended as an answer to his critics. He said in part: "If some of those who have seen cause for wonder in what I have said this fall on the subject of the great corporations, which are popularly though not technically known as trusts, would take the trouble to read my messages when I was governor, what I said on the stump two years ago and what I put into my first message to congress. I think that they would have been less astonished. I said nothing on the stump that I did not think I could make good and shall not hesitate now to take the position which I then advocated. I am even more anxious that you hear what I say should think of it than that you should applaud it. I am not going to try to define with technical accuracy what ought to be done when I speak of a trust. But if by trust we mean merely a big corporation, then I ask you to ponder the utter folly of the man who either in spirit or rancor or in a spirit of folly says 'destroy the trust' without giving you an idea of what he means really to do. I will go with him if he says destroys the evil in the trusts gladly. (Applause.) "I will try to find out that evil. I will seek to apply remedies, which I have already outlined in other speeches. But if his policy from whatever motive, whether hatred, fear, panic or justice or otherwise, is to destroy the trust in a way that will destroy all of our prosperity, no. Those men who advocate wild and foolish remedies which would be worse than the disease, are doing all in their power to perpetuate the evils against which they are nominally at war, because if we are brought face to face with the naked issue or either keeping or totally destroying a prosperity in which a majority share, but in which some share improperly, why, as a sensible man, we must decide that it would be a great deal better that some people should prosper too much than that no one should prosper enough. So that the man who advocates measures which would paralyze the industries of the country is at best a quack and at worst an enemy to the republic." Referring to the conditions existing in 1893, he said: "There was no trouble about everybody making too much money then. The trusts were down, but the trouble was that we were all of us down. Nothing but harm to the whole body politic can come from agitation carried on partially against real evils, partly against imaginary evils, which would substitute for the real evils, evils just as real and infinitely greater. Those men, if they should succeed, could do nothing to bring about a solution of the great problems with which we are concerned. If they should destroy certain of the evils at the most of over throwing the well-being of the entire country, it would mean merely that there would come a reaction in which they and their remedies would be hopelessly discredited." In the afternoon at Worcester the president lunched with Senator Hoar. At Springfield another hearty greeting was given President Roosevelt. An address there was followed by a brief visit to the National armory. On the way to the train the president's carriage stopped in front of the Veterans' Memorial home, and he spoke a few words to the old soldiers who were drawn up in front of the house. In the course of his tour of the New England states the president has availed himself of each opportunity to make complimentary references to the members of his official family. Tonight Secretary Cortelyou came in for praise. At Westfield, the scene of the boyhood days of the president's helper, a stop of half an hour was made. The applause was loud and continuous when he mentioned the secretary's name. THE NATIONAL VETERINARIANS Most Prominent Members of the Profession in This Country and Canada in Session. Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 3.—The foremost veterinarians of the United States and Canada are attending the 39th annual convention of the American Veterinary Medical association, which began its sessions today at the West hotel.

Nominated for Congress Madison, Sept. 2.—Captain Jack Silbaugh of Viroqua was nominated by the Third district democrats this afternoon to oppose Congressman J. W. Babcock. Daughter of President Baer of the Reading Road Injured While Her Companion Meets Death. Lancaster, Pa., Sept. 3.—Mrs. J. Stewart Walker of Lynchburg, Va., is dead, and Mrs. William N. Appel of this city is in a serious condition as the result of a runaway accident which occurred here yesterday morning. Mrs. Appel is a daughter of President George F. Baer of the Reading Railroad company. Mrs. Walker, with her four children, was on a visit to her mother. Yesterday morning she and Mrs. Appel started from the latter's home for a drive. They had just bid a merry goodbye to the children and were scarcely on their way when a trolley car approached from the rear, while at the same time a countryman with a load of milk drove close up behind them. The milkman's horses became scared and, dashing into Mrs. Appel's carriage, broke it and scared her horse into running away. Mrs. Appel made a plucky effort to regain control of the frightened horse, but the carriage striking a telegraph pole, was overturned and both ladies were thrown violently to the street. They were picked up unconscious and bleeding from abrasions of the face. They were carried in that condition to the general hospital. Mrs. Walker had a compound fracture of the skull, and she died at 7 o'clock last evening without having regained consciousness. Mrs. Appel is suffering from concussion of the brain and severe cuts and bruises. The physicians hope for her recovery, though her condition this evening is very grave. President Baer hastened to the bedside of his daughter on a special train, arriving here late this evening. VOLCANO KILLED THOUSANDS. Dispatch Regarding Awful Loss of Life from Second Eruption of Mont Pelee. Paris, Sept. 3.—The Havas Agency has received an undated dispatch from Fort De France, Island of Martinique, announcing that about one thousand people were killed and several hundred were injured from the violent eruption of Mont Pelee on Saturday, August 30, which destroyed More Rouge and Ajoupa Billinon, two villages near the volcano. The village of LeCarba was damaged by a tidal wave, which was also felt at Fort D France, where the people were stricken. The French cruisers Suchet and Tage, are embarking people in the northern part of Martinique. THE WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS. Believe They Will Have a Fighting Chance to Win With Men Named Today. Milwaukee, Wls., Sept. 3.—Delegates by the score have been arriving constantly today to attend the Democratic state convention, which will be called to order here tomorrow morning. The Democrats are firmly convinced that they have more than a fighting chance to win this year and as a consequence extraordinary interest is manifested in the convention. Though once divided on the silver issue, the Democratic party in Wisconsin may be said to be now united and there is a determination to take advantage of the situation in the Republican party, whose ranks in the state are hopelessly divided by the refusal of the state administration to endorse Senator Spooner for re-election. Mayor David S. Rose of Milwaukee, who is regarded as possible Democratic vice presidential timber in 1904, is considered the leading candidate for the gubernatorial nomination. The fact that there are six other candidates, including such prominent party leaders as former Senator Vilas and National Committeeman Edward C. Wall, is regarded as likely to aid in the nomination of Mayor Rose. His managers today declare that he will be named on the first ballot. The nature of his campaign speeches is practically decided upfront in addition to references to the national issues it is understood that he will make the Republican state administration's treatment of Senator Spooner one of his strong arguments. He will also feature the school book scandal. OIL TANKS BURN AT PERRY. Town is Saved from Destruction Owing to the Absence of Perry, Ia. Sept. 3.—The oil house belonged to the Penn Oil Co. burned yesterday afternoon. The fire is supposed to have originated from sparks from a passing engine on the Milwaukee road. There were several barrels of kerosene and gasoline in the house and it made a very hot and dangerous fire. The entire fire department of the city fought the flames for an hour and a half, and hundreds of people witnessed the scene. It was with difficulty that several near-by residences were saved, and the Milwaukee stock yards were also partly burned. The fire occurred shortly after noon, and as there was no wind blowing, was all that enabled the department to keep the flames confined to the oil house. BIG FIRE IN BLOOMINGTON. A Conflagration This Morning Destroys Property to Amount of Two Hundred Thousand. Bloomington. Ill. Sept. 3—At 1 o'clock this morning fire started in the south side of the public square and is still in progress, threatening the entire business district. The drug store of Ripley & Strickland is completely destroyed. Loss $25,000. The large dry goods store of A. Livingstone Sons' adjoining, where the fire originated, loses its entire store, valued at $100,000. The hardware store of Holden, Miner & Co. is also burning and the loss will be heavy. A number of other concerns will suffer heavy loss from water. At 2:30 a.m. the fire was practically under control. The total loss is estimated at $200,-000. THE MIDDLE STATES REGATTA Rowed Monday on Speedway Course, Harlem River—Scholes, Canadian, Prominent Sculler.

Six Officers Wounded in Overpowering Desperado and His Wife New York, Sept. 2.—Patrolmen John McKenna and Arthur Brill were fatally injured and Police Captain Darey and three other policemen were seriously wounded tonight in besieging and capturing Jerry Hunter, a negro desperado at North Beach, Borough of Queens. This afternoon Hunter shot at a man passing along the beach but failed2to hit him. McKenna, patrolman, was sent to arrest Hunter, who shot out both his eyes with a load of buckshot. Three other patrolmen were sent to effect Hunter's capture. Patrolman Brill received a load of buckshot in his face, destroying one eye. He will likely die. The reserves were then ordered out and 20 policemen surrounded the house. After two hours' shooting on both sides the Hunter house caught fire. Hunter's wife ran out the front door and attacked the men with an old sabre. In the excitement Hunter escaped by the rear but was run down and captured. Police Captain Darey and the three men were taken to the hospital and are seriously wounded. Both Hunter and his wife were found to be bounded when finally overpowered. BRITISH TRADES CONGRESS Delegates Representing a Million and a Half Trade Unionists in Session in London. London, Sept. 2.—More than 400 delegates, representing 1,500,000 organized trade unionists, were present today at the opening of the annual session of the Trades congress of Great Britain. Among the prominent delegates present were Keir-Hardie, Tom Mann, John Burns, Henry Broadhurst and Patrick Dolan of the United Mine Workers and Henry Blackmore of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, the fraternal delegates from the American Federation of Labor, and who were given a hearty reception upon being escorted to the platform. After the congress had been called to order and the welcoming addresses made the secretary presented the program prepared by the executive committee for consideration. This recommended the adoption of about a dozen resolutions. These were mainly along the same lines as in the past and related to the further extension of the 8-hour day, amendments to the factory act and the appointment of competent factory inspectors.

Independent Service Inaugurated for Conveyance of Parcels by Cunard and White Star Lines. London, Sept. 2.—The various attempts of the British government to conclude a parcels post arrangement with the United States having resulted in failure, the British postoffice department has arranged an independent service, which was inaugurated today. The new arrangement provides that the Cunard and White Star lines shall convey the parcels to the United States, to American Express company. The weight and size limitations of parcels accepted under this service are the same as those now adopted in the British inland parcels post—a maximum weight of 11 pounds, and a maximum size of six feet for length and girth combined. A similar service is to be inaugurated from the United States to Great Britain.

LABOR DAY'S HISTORY LABOR DAY'S HISTORY ITS OBSERVANCE DATES BACK JUST TWENTY YEARS. The United States the Only Country in the World Which Has Set Aside a Legal Holiday Devoted to Celebrations by the Wage Earners—Something About the Origin of the Day. Washington, D. C., Sept. 2.—The celebration of Labor day this year possesses more than ordinary significance to the ranks of the organized toilers as it is just 20 years ago since the observance was begun. The United States is the only country in the world which has set aside a legal holiday devoted to celebrations by the wage earners. Labor day is now almost a national holiday, the laws of nearly every state and territory of the union recognizing it. The origin of Labor day is found in an agitation begun in the city of New York in 1882. All the great labor organizations of the country participated in the effort to secure this recognition of labor's cause, the initiative in the movement being taken by P. J. Maguire, then national secretary of the journeymen carpenters. But it was not until five years later that the efforts bore fruits in legislation. Then it was that the far Western state of Oregon, which passed a law setting aside the first Saturday in June for this observance. This law was passed February 21, 1887. Six years later to the day this law was amended, and the present date, the first Monday in September, was selected. New Jersey was the second state to legalize this holiday, an act being passed in the legislature of that state April 8, 1887. New York followed in May of the same year. Colorado and Massachusetts followed in line the same year, but it was not until after 1890 that the other states took similar action. Ohio passed a Labor day law April 28, 1890. Illinois passed its law June 17, 1891; Indiana March 9, 1891 and Minnesota April 18, 1893. West Virginia and North Carolina did not legalize Labor day until 1899. Recognition of the rights and dignity of labor—this is the spirit which moves in the event. It began in a parade, and is usually so celebrated. In 1882 a great labor demonstration was held in New York. The Central Labor union of that city, consisting of numerous affiliated labor organizations, arranged a great parade. Thousands of men were in line with floats, banners, transparencies, badges and carriages. It chanced that the Knights of Labor were holding their convention in that city at the same time, and they were invited to witness the turnout from Union Square. This was September 5, 1882. The invitation was accepted and the occasion was a great success. The parade from that time was referred to as the "Labor day parade." Remembering the success of the previous year the New York labor organizations turned out again in 1883, only the date was changed to the first Monday in September. In 1884, when the Central Labor union met to discuss a third observance, George B. Lloyd, a Knight of Labor, arose and offered a resolution that the first Monday in September he declared Labor day. This was adopted and steps were at once taken to secure enactment by the state legislature making it a legal holiday. A bill was introduced in the legislature — the first one for this purpose—but it did not receive favorable consideration until 1887, by which time two other states had passed such a law. Labor organizations in other states made common cause with the Central Labor union and the movement became general among unionists to get state legislatures to take action. In less than five years a majority of the states had fallen into line, and by 1900 nearly all the states had declared the first Monday in September a legal holiday. In addition to making a display of numbers by its annual parade, union labor intends this day for discussion and public meetings. Its purpose is said to be largely educational. In its call for this year's observance the executive council of the American Federation of Labor recommends to all organized workers in national, state central and local unions "that they concentrate their attention to a discussion of the abolition of injunctions in labor disputes and the passage of resolutions demanding at the hands of congress and the legislatures of their respective states the enactment of laws conforming to that purpose." At San Francisco. San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 2.—Labor day in San Francisco was celebrated by the labor unions, which gave a public demonstration of the strength by parading through the business section of the city 30,000 strong. Commissioner of Public Works Michael Casey was the grand marshal and in company with the city officials and other invited guests reviewed the parade from a stand in Van Ness avenue. Following the parade literary exercises were held with addresses by prominent speakers. At Sioux City. Sloux City, Ia., Sept. 2—Never before has Labor day been observed with greater enthusiasm. Fully 10,000 unified marchers were in the parade, which was the most imposing in the history of the city. An interesting program followed at Riverside, and athletic events of all descriptions were given. The speakers included Mayor Caldwell, F. R. Conaway of Des Moines, and M. J. Sweley, member of the state legislature. At Youngstown. Youngstown, O., Sept. 2.—The largest Labor day parade seen here in many years occupied the early hours this morning. A picnic and outing at the fair grounds followed. At Des Moines. Des Moines, Ia., Sept. 2.—Labor day was observed as a holiday here, all the big stores and factories shutting down to allow their employees to participate in the festivities. The morning was given up to a parade of unusual size. Following the parade there were races and athletic contests at the fair grounds, together with addresses by several public men. Richmond Observes the Day. Richmond, Va., Sept. 2.—Labor day was celebrated here by a parade of working men estimated at from 5,000 to 8,000. It was the best appointed procession ever seen here on Labor day. The streets were lined with interested and applauding spectators. St. Paul's Celebration. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 2.—Labor day was celebrated here on a more extensive scale than ever before. A large parade passed through the business streets this morning. A new feature was the participation of many women, members of the garment workers, waiters and servant girls' unions. Following the parade the wage earners adjourned to Harriet park for a basket picnic. At Pittsburg Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 2.—Pittsburg was given over to the "sturdy sons of toil" today, who paraded the streets many thousand strong in celebration of Labor day. The interest, owing to the miners' strike, was never greater than this year, and in the procession were workmen from every organized trade. The marchers were greeted with enthusiasm all along the line. Celebration at Indianapolis. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 2—Indianapolis labor unions rounded out an even dozen of Labor day celebrations today, the first observance of the day in this city having been held 12 years ago. There were 5,000 persons in the parade, including several hundred women. The molders had the place of honor. After the parade thousands of people boarded street cars for the state fair grounds, where the exercises of the day took place. These consisted of automobile races, a baby show and athletic contents of various kinds. At the National Capital. Washington, D. C., Sept. 2.—Labor day was extensively observed in Washington today. Government departments and most of the business places were closed and the labor organizations held picnics and excursions in various directions out of the city. At Toledo Toledo, O., Sept 2.—Labor day was observed here with a parade, followed by speeches and general festivities at local parks and pleasure resorts. More than half a hundred unions were represented in the line of the parade, and it is estimated that there were 5,000 marchers. At Knoxville: Knoxville, Tenn., Sept 2—Five thousand working men marched through the streets today. The celebration of the day was held at Fountain City, where an oration was delivered by J. W. Howe, president of the district organization of the United Mine Workers. Mine workers from many of the unions of East Tennessee took part in the demonstration. TRAGEDY BY A MAD MAN.

Then lend the eye a terrible aspect; Let it pry through the portage of the head Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'r- whelm it As fearfully as doth a gallled rock O'ceng and jutty his compounded base. Swill with the wild and wasteful ocean. Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide. Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit To his full height. —Shakespeare. A Low-County Fued. BY C. AUGUST MITTELL. right, 1901, by Authors' Syndicate.) ATTON had come from a state farther north. He had been in the low-country for years; but these had not served to entirely eradicate the traditions and the inborn teachings of his home state. Wild, uneducated, untutored, he savage still. ATTON had come from a state farther north. He had been in the low-country for years; but these had not served to entirely eradicate the traditions and the inborn teachings of his home state. Wild, uneducated, untutored, he was a savage still. He had a brother. Younger, less wild, and weaker, this brother appealed strangely to his love and to his protection. When Tatton came to the low-country his brother had remained behind. For months he did not hear from him. At length he received word from a friend. For the moment he was stunned and could not understand the reality. Tom so the friend wrote, had become involved in a quarrel with a man in the section—one with whom Tatton was well acquainted—and in the course of the personal encounter that ensued he was shot and killed. After much labor Tatton had managed to read the letter. It was slow work, for he could not read so well as in the old days when he had casual attended the little school out by the branch. Distrusting his own knowledge, he moved to a village some distance away. There he persuaded a friendly storekeeper to read it for him. It was indeed as he had read for himself. Tom was dead. Tatton dumbly thanked the man, took the sheet of paper, and silently left the place. Out into the woods he made his way, towards the Old Fort swamp. Once there, he seated himself on a log, one that had served the purpose before, and bit by bit went over the information he had received. It was woefully brief and insufficient in its details. Tom had become involved in a quarrel with one Ben Jenkins over a hog. One word led to another, each pulled his gun, the tusilidae that followed him, fell with the tusilidae through his head. Jenkins gave himself up to the authorities, was tried and acquitted. He had killed Tom in self-defense. That was all there was to it. Tatton went over the meager details time and again, until they were indelibly engraved on his mind and heart. That morning, just prior to receiving the letter, another blow had been administered to the man. The woman who kept the house where he took his meals was a Mrs. Hawkins. Long had Tatton observed her, for she was good to look at. There was a grace in her every movement that he could not understand, but which he admired. Her face was pretty, and he felt that he could look at it forever and not grow tired. He did not know what love was; but he would lie out beyond the fence, in a clump of low pine saplings, and watch her for hours as she passed to and fro in the pursuance of her duties. Sometimes there was a child with her, a girl of perhaps 7 years, and Tatton admitted to himself that she was like unto his conception of an angel. During these months that he had been in the low-country his shrewdness and industry had not gone unrewarded. He had saved some money. One day, some weeks before, the thought had come to his mind to ask Mrs. Hawkins to marry him. Night after night he lay sleepless, thinking it over, and weighing his chances of failure or success. Finally he decided to put it to the test. He called on Mrs. Hawkins and made known his desire in his blunt, straight-forward way. No less blunt and straightforward was her answer. She was married, her husband was still alive, and in fact she expected him home that very evening. He had been away for a long time, but today he would return. Tatton saw the look of joy in her eyes, heard the ring of gladness in her voice. He turned from her and left the house. As he walked defectedly to the front gate, the little girl ran after him, shyly slipped her hand into his, and told him not to look so that her papa was coming home that night. Tatton stopped abruptly, took her in his arms, and held her close for a moment. Gently placing her on her feet again, he continued his way to the woods, while the little girl returned and told her mother what the man had done. When he came to the village the letter, notifying him of Tom's death, was given him. Out by the Old Fort swamp he brooded over it all. He wondered in a mechanical way how much it would cost to reach Kentucky. Once there he would shoot Jenkins. Tom would rest easier in his grave if he knew of it. Late that evening he came to the Hawkins house. He came late purposely, that he might miss seeing Mrs. Hawkins' husband. As he approached the house to took refuge in the clump of saplings, to see if the road were clear. A glance convinced him that it was not. Coming towards him, along the path, a man and woman; before them, in childish glee ran a little girl. He knew the three at a glance. As they came nearer something about the man seemed familiar. Tatton watched him closely. The man raised his face to look at the full moon in the east. There was no mistaking him—it was Ben Jenkins. Tatton's first emotion was one of ferocious pleasure. His blood surged hot within him, and then ran cold. Already was his enemy within his reach. He paused not to think how he came, or why he came; but pulling out his pistol was prepared to do bloody work. One second he hesitated and then it was too late. Softly he replaced the pistol, and as softly slipped from the sapling thicket deeper into the woods. "It mout scare Mits' Hawkins an' the leetle乳气," he muttered; "I'll come back tonight an' gk him w'en they ain't so closet to him." True to his word, two hours later he returned with his rifle. Long he paus- ed in the thicket, but he could see no one about the house. Finally he slipped up close to the front door and lay in hiding. From within came the sound of voices. Soon Jenkins appeared on the small front porch, and with him came the little girl. She climbed into his lap as he sat on the step, and called him "papa." Up to this time Tatton could not conceive of Jenkins' relation to Mrs. Hawkins and her daughter. With a sudden shock it now came to him. He remembered having heard that Hawkins was Mrs. Jenkins' maiden name. For some reason she had adopted it when her husband went to Kentucky. Tatton had just raised his Winchester when the words of the little girl came to his ears. At this moment, from within doors, came the sound of Mrs. Jenkin's voice in song. Sweetly the words throbbed in his ears. It was the old song, dear to every loyal heart of the old state. "She was bred in old Kentucky." Tatton thought the gates of paradise had opened, and that this was the fragment of an angel song. Enraptured he listened until the last word floated on the night air and died away. He dropped the muzzle of his gun, arose to his feet, softly slipped out to the pine thicket, and thence along the path to the Old Fort swamp. Kings Not Crowned. King Christian of Denmark, father of Queen Alexandria, has ruled almost 40 years—since 1833—and has yet to be crowned. He was also king from the palace of Christiantham. The new king of Italy has not been crowned, and if Victor Emmanuel follows the example of his father, Humbert I, he never will be. This is the more strange as the crown of Italy—the Iron Crown of Lombardy—is the most ancient and historic crown in the world. The iron part of it, which is hidden almost completely in gold and jewels, is said to have been made of nails from the cross on which the Savior was crucified, and the gold was laid on for the protection of the precious metal. In its present shape the crown dates from 395. It was one of the most valued possessions of the Emperor Constantine. It crowned the Lombard kings. The last two occasions on which it was used for coronation purposes was in 1805, when Napoleon, who had carried it off to Paris, made the pope crown him with it in the Cathedral of Notre Dame in 1838, when Ferdinand I of Austria was crowned with it at Milan. Its last public appearance was on the bier of the assassinated Humbert, two years ago, as a saint threaten. The coffin he made to the tombs who have in charge the Iron Crown before they would allow it to be placed on the coffin. Significantly enough, the Sultan of Turkey prefers to be invested with a sword instead of a crown upon his accession—St. Louis Republic. MEN AND WOMEN.

Effect of Telephones, Rural Mail and Trolley Lines on Villages. Indianapolis Journal: Telephones, rural mail routes, interurban and trolley lines have had the effect, it is said, of making small villages more quiet than formerly. A little cross-roads settlement, with a general store, a postoffice, a blacksmith shop and a doctor's office as its chief business establishments is not at any time a very lively center, but the coming and going of the persons with affairs to transact at these places creates whatever slr there is and at times bring about the appearance of considerable activity. But now that the farm telephone has come into use its owner does not "hitch up" and go to the village as formerly to do his errands. He telephones to the stone keeper his order for good and asks him to keep them out by trolley or the first man traveling that way, he consults the doctor's telephone and talks with his friend in the village in the same way. The mail is brought to his gate, and thus relieves him of the necessity of a daily trip. His relations with the blacksmith remain unchanged, for no way has been yet devised whereby that useful personage can shoe a horse or mend a wagon without having horse and vehicle present. But these needs are not of daily occurrence, and so it happens that the little street or open square which was wont to seem almost crowded with horses and vehicles at certain hours every day or on certain days in the week now often wears a deserted look and the residents are conscious of a sense of loneliness. They say, too, that when once a man gets on a trolley car with intent to make a purchase he passes by the little country store and goes to a larger town, and that this is particularly true of his wife or daughter on similar errand. All this is a natural but rather curious development following the extended use of modern conveniences and what remedy the village has is not plain. Its only hope is apparently to establish attractions of a social or educational nature that will offset the loss in other directions and will draw its rural neighbors there for amusement and entertainment.

Kansas City, Mo. Indian Gets Divorce. The luminous wings of civilization are rapidly spreading over Oklahoma, where Mr. Spah Pah Beur—which is Pawnee French for butter—has obtained a divorce from Mrs. Maud Beur. The offense is not cited, but as Maud was not in court and interposed no objections, it is likely that it was of a serious and detrimental nature. Civilization is doing much for the noble red man. In former days, when a Pawnee lady was a little too gay for conjugal forbearance, she played a leading part in very painful rites, but the spread of the gospel and contact with the white man have resulted in the establishment of beneficent laws and dignified measures of relief. Pawneees may now put away their wives without putting them under ground, and Pawnee wives may find blessed relief when the plowing is too hard and constant. Even more exciting doings may be looked for when the Pawnee Woman's club is started, and the poor, down-trodden squaw receives the first assurance that she is it.—Chicago Evening Post.

Returning to his house on the same evening, he heard some one following him. Grasping his dagger, he turned just in time to save his life by plunging it into the assailant's body. The relatives of the servant promptly declared a vendetta. He replied, by messenger, that he would ride on the third night following to their village, accompanied by a servant only. He did so, and expected every moment that some one concealed behind a rock would fire at him. But no one molested him, and when he reached the village early in the morning he was met by several old men dressed in white, carrying bread and salt. They begged him to eat of this and be their friend, as they had never before heard of such courage. CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED. with Local Applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

Rub carefully between the hands and rinse immediately in cold water, then lay the piece on a towel or cloth of the same size, place another over and roll up. In an hour or less it will be ready to iron, as it dries very quickly in this way, always iron on the wrong side, then turn the piece on the right side and go over with a small iron the part that is plain. Hot water and the sun are foes to embroidery, and will fade them very quickly, hence great precaution should be taken in having the water lukewarm and never hang embroidery out in the sun to dry. Never hang an incongruous lot of pictures on flowered walls. Let such paper itself take the place of decoration. Only soft, colorless gray and black or black and white are permissible on wall paper with floral or conventional designs, and only a limited number of these. In decorating your walls, reserve the gold patterns for hallwalls and the plain tints for library and reception room, and on these plain walls place your colored works of art in combination with engravings and etchings. The platinotypes now reproduce in perfection celebrated paintings of the old masters, and these every one should strive to possess. Photographs especially of scenes visited are always interesting, and should be hung in easy range of the eye and good judgment is necessary in placing them to the best advantage for correct lights and convenient heights. To preserve the straws of a broom from becoming damp, always hang the broom by the liie device attached to the handle, or in the absence of this, tack on a loop in a convenient place, but in any event do not let the straws stand on the floor. A good plan, when through sweeping, is to soak the broom a few moments in warm soapsuds. Shake it thoroughly and hang it up immediately. A broom treated this way will last twice the time of one standing on the floor. When the straws become bent a broom is very soon rendered useless. tables for 5 o'clock tea are now made with two shelves. The upper one, in the form of a tray, can be removed with its contents after the service, leaving a regular fancy top. On this try place only cups and saucers and dishes necessary in serving, cream pitcher, sugar bowl and tea urn, while on the lower shelf the sandwiches, cakes and fancy wafers may be placed. Face steaming is always good for pimples, if followed by closing the pores by dashing it with cold water. Funnels can be procured from any of the tin shops, which if put in the nose of a tea kettle will make a splendid home affair for steaming the face; or a clever tinsmith can make one, throwing a towel over the patient's head to keep in the steam. Freckles can be remedied by touching them twice a day with lemon juice or buttermilk, or with scraped horseradish and milk mixed in the proportion of a tablespoon of the former to a teacupful of the latter. For perspiring feet, add a little borax to warm water before bathing, and these should be powdered with lycopodium after bathing. For corns, use a corn-knife, smoothing the corns with pumice stone. An excellent wash for the eyes is made by mixing 15 drops of spirits of camphor with one teaspoonful of boric acid and two-thirds of a cupul of boiling water. Strain through muslin and apply twice a day. Splendid for weak, tired or inflamed eyes; also for eyes that weep over things they shouldn't. Egg-Plant. Stuffed egg-plant may be improved in appearance by sewing it in the shell. Secure an egg-plant with the green stem on; this is to serve as a handle. Cut a piece from the top of the egg-plant for cover. Remove the inside carefully, so as to not break the skin, shop the pulp and add to it— 2 cups of grater bread crumbs. 1-3 cup of water. 1 cup cooked tomato. Pepper. Salt. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a frying pan, and the egg-plant and seasoning, and cook until the egg-plant is soft. Serve very hot in heated shell. Stuffed Peppers. For stuffed peppers, one needs the green Spanish sweet pepper. Cut a thin slice from the stem end and remove the seeds. Then cover with water and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain and fill with following dressing: 1 cupful water 2 cupful chopped cooked veal 1 cupful water 2 tablespoonbulls of butter. 1. Mix together, fill pepper, sprinkling the tops with bread crumbs. Bake for 15 minutes in a hot oven. Fruit Salad. Their name is legion, but the foundation of this particular one is a pineapple. Pare it, and remove the eyes carefully; then shred with a silver fork. Pile in the center of a low dish in its original shape, and heap any fruit desired around it. Sprinkle with sugar and lemon juice. Marachino may also be used. Cool on the ice for several hours before serving. Frozen Watermelon. Cut the watermelon into two-inch squares, sprinkle with sugar and wine, pack in a freecer, and freeze for an hour. Watermelon on Ice. Cut the watermelon in halves, and with a large spoon scoop out spoonfuls. Freeze these as in the recipe just given, or simply chill through on ice. Serve cracked ice, and garnish with sweet pea. The color scheme in this is very attractive. Peach Snow. Select large ripe peaches, pare and halve. Sprinkle with sugar, allowing half a cupful of sugar to a quart of fruit. Chill for several hours before serving. Serve in a glass dish, cover with whipped cream, and sprinkle blanched almonds through and over it. The peaches may be simply placed on ice or put in a freezer and packed in ice and salt for two hours. Frozen fruits are often served instead of punch after the meat course at dinner.)

NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM. Farmers Enthusiastic Over What is Called the Bee Remedy. Harrisburg letter: Is there a new cure discovered for rheumatism? We have heard of so many new propositions of the effect of chemical constituents n the human system recently that it is hard to tell what may or may not be. Farmers and others coming into town here are enthusiastic over the cure of William Swively of Shady Grove, a lifelong sufferer from rheumatism who, after being terribly stung by a swarm of bees, has been apparently cured of his trouble. Some of our local doctors have formed the theory that there is in the sting of the bee a quantity known as formic acid, which is a direct antidote for uric acid, well known and acknowledged by the best authorities to be the basis of the poison which gives rise to rheumatism. However it may be, it seems clear that since Mr. Swively was so badly stung his rheumatism has completely disappeared. An experience which bears out the supposition entertained in this connection is that of Charles E. Kemp, a well known, wealthy and retired gentleman of Roland Park, a suburb of Baltimore. Mr. Kemp some time since purchased a couple of swarms of bees in order to follow up the ideas of the Belgian philosopher, Maurice Maeterlinck, so that he might study their habits. In fact he made a hobby of the bee question, much as Maeterlinck. In the course of his observations Mr. Kemp, who has been a life-long sufferer from rheumatism was stung many times. He has found that since these experiences his rheumatism has disappeared and his joints have become as supple as they were before he contracted the disease. Others in his vicinity have experienced similar results and the two states are agog with the question of whether the acute sting of the bee, or rather, the poison conveyed by it, is really the long sought specific. Of course it is impossible to say whether or not it is the shock experienced from the stinging of the bees that has temporarily driven these rheumatic pangs into abeyance or if the stings really have an antitoxic effect, which it is possible they may have. Violent poisons naturally have their counteractants. Salicylic acid as it is administered in allopathic doses, is considered the specific for rheumatism. It is one of the strongest drugs used. Recently some physicians have upheld the idea that the poison of the rattleskin, not conveyed as believed by a sting in its tail but from a little sac in the side of its head opened by the action its of foretooth, is a specific CENTREAL N.

A humorous view or idea that rheumatism can be cured by the sting of a bee is, of course, tenable, but so long as so many alleged cures are being made of physical troubles by antithetical means it may perhaps be advisable for the matter to resolve itself into scientific discussion. Philosophically the bee has taught us many lessons. While rheumatism cannot be called a lazy man's complaint it is largely due to the sluggishness of the important organs. Hence if the active bee can furnish its antidote there should be "no kick coming." A Point Well Taken. Gen. Lloyd Wheaton made a good point when he said that if American occupation of the Philippines had resulted in the destruction of thousands of the natives it had, on the other hand, shaved the lives of hundreds of thousands of others by reason of the sanitary precaution instituted by the army and the civil commission. Smallpox had always been epidemic and had annually cost tens of thousands of lives until the United States stepped in with wholesale vaccinations and strict quarantine; the bubonic plague, which, under the Spanish rage, would have killed a large percentage of the population, endangered the ports of the world and destroyed commerce, was promptly stamped out, and cholera, which is now in evidence, would undoubtedly be tenfold worse if Uncle Sam was not on hand.—St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Inloe, candidate for congress in this, the eighth congressional district, is preparing to give "Old Shack" the race of his life for his seat in congress. The republicans of Cole County never had a better ticket in the field than they have this time and every indication points to the election of the entire ticket. Dr. J. P. Porth, who so ably represented this county in the last legislature is a candidate for re-election and is sure to "get there."

THE Christian religion in the panacea for all the ills from which we suffer. Practical faith and the practical Christian life are the essentials to real happiness. The popular belief that the Christian must always sing, "My Way is Cloudy" is [radically [wrong]. It's the way of the transgressor that is hard.—The Nashville Clarion. In commenting on the great negro conference recently held in the south, Sidney Ormond, who writes for Colliers weekly, thinks it very remarkable that there was no shouting and so on during the devotional exercises held in the congress. It is gratifying to note that the negroes are leaving off this unreasonable frenzy and emotionalism, and is realizing that there is logic in religion as in other things. The Great Negro Conference. The largest and most significant negro gathering ever held in the world, was held in Atlanta, Ga. during the month of Aug. known as the young peoples Christian and Educational Congress, which lasted five days and was attended by fifteen thousand delegates, called together for the purpose of urging aggressive Christian work among the negro youth of the land and to encourage vital prin- DR.

Bishop W. Gaines of the A. M. E. church was chairman of the gathering. Speeches were made by such men as Booker T. Washington, I. Garland Penn, secretary of the convention, D. Webster Davis, the great negro poet, Dr. Bowen and many others. Doubtless much good was accomplished by this great gathering, where men and women met, coming from every section, and exchanged ideas of how to bring about a more stable progress, and a more uniform advancement. If the congress did no more than to cause the young negro to think, the time was well spent, and the most important move towards solving the so much talked of race problem has been made. 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.
