THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD. $1.00 Per Year in Advance. The Old Soldier on Labor Day. Would Like to see Tubbs in the Legislature Again. Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 10th, 1902. "Did you ever git your picture tuk?" said the old soldier as he came into the Monroe house to night. Well I don't care if I never have mine tuk again. You see the old woman has been noyin' after me to git mine struck fur sometime, and as I told you I don't take no stock in sich, but last Monday week bein' labor day I want doin' much an she jest made me git out of my tater patch an go up to the picture shop with her. So when we went in she said to the man "I want to git my husband's picture tuk, and he asked if she wanted whole length or bust, and 'fo' she could speak I tole him since he wuz at it jest to take the whole length and if the durn thing busted I'd pay fur it. Then the old woman got mad and jirked my coat tail and said she wuz running that picture biznes and I should stop buttin' in. She said the man jest wanted to know if I wanted my picture made from my head down or from my waist up. Then I got my temper up, and tole them to take it any way they wanted to, and I want perticler 'bout which part they tuk. So while I wuz tryin a pipe uv long green tobacker that I had got down on the streets and want watchin' him he said look pleasant, an' 'fo' I could git in shape fur anything, he said "thats all" and I said what's all, and the old woman said "come on out uv here the longer you live the less you know." And the man said they would be ready in a few days and if I wuz goin to be hung I couldn't tell when he tuk them pictures. But what do you think 'bout the Labor Day celebration anyhow? They say Dockery made the speech uv his life that day, in fact he opened the campaign. They say the administration is gettin' scared 'bout the next legislature, and they are goin' to enlist everybody they can git their hands on to carry it the same old way. You see a new kind of legislature might change up things at Lincoln Institute. Cause they got after that board out there once, and made 'em show the book. You see Tubbs of Osage wuz well posted and he stayed in the legislature 'till he jes got tired comin' back. And the Lincoln Institute Board wuz glad when he got tired. You know Tubbs always talked out in meetin', and made 'em explain things to' him right out in company. Once that board worked the legislature for $1000 to run that agricultural farm with and next time they ask fur a another thousand. Tubbs got up and said he wanted to know what they done with what they had befo' and demanded that they submit a report, and the report showed that they had spent a good portion of that $1000 for feed fur the mules that they keep fur the janitors to take their families out picnicing with. And Tubbs wanted to know what kind uv a farm that wuz that didn't raise enuf feed fur two 50 YEARS' EXPERIENCE PATENTS TRADE MARKS DESIGNS COPYRIGHTS &c.

So they decided that they didn't need the $1000. So next thing they wanted wuz $1500 to beautify the grounds with and they got it and dug a pond in the yard and it dried up before one season wuz gone. If Tubbs wuz in that next legislature he would git 'after 'em again. He'd want ter know why they had to 'lect 5 heads fur that school in 10 months time, and why they dropped one of the matrons and the only colored janitor they had and hired 3 white janitors, and what makes 'em keep on foolin' the government 'bout that agricultural farm, and what become uv that 500 they had to git books with and why they pay the janitors as much as some uv the professors git. If I could see Tubbs I would try to persuade him to run again. I'm goin' down in Gasconade purty soon on a hunt, an I think I'll git to see him. Yes I guess I'll give you one uv my pictures when I get 'em, if they suit to give away And I'll be in one night next week and we'll discuss things 'bout that school that you ain't hurd of yet but understand I'm goin' to hold you to your promise ter keep it between us two, you know. ```markdown ``` A The "OLD SOLDIER," of Jefferson City.

It is unlucky to steal an opal ring and get caught. --- COLUMBIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, SEPT. 12, 1902. Gleanings. Very few newspaper readers have not heard of "Uncle Joe" Cannon, the veteran Congressman from Illinois. He is a Republican of the stalwart kind, and he is the Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, and lately has been getting more than usual public notice from his attempts to cut down the sums to be expended. In a speech he said to Congress; "I say to you that the extravagance of appropriations must be stopped. We are face to face with a deficit if we don't quit." The features of the late Lord Pauncefote, British Ambassador to this country, were familiar to many people from his frequent pictures, but pictures of Lady Pauncefote, his widow, are less in evidence. She sailed with her three daughters for England in June, and before leaving, her photograph got into the public prints. As will be seen she is a handsome woman. If King Edward of Great Britian should die, as may occur at any time in his present condition, he will be succeeded on the throne by his oldest living son, George Frederick, Prince of Wales. He was ```markdown ``` born in 1865 and is reported to be most progressive in his ideas, and a good speaker. His wife is the Princess Victoria May of Teck, daughter of the Duke of Teck. She was born in 1867, and they have three children. She is an Englishwoman, and is very popular. Blacking boots at five cents a shine in City Hall Park, N. Y., is a bootblack known as "Herman," who a few months ago was worth $25,000, made in betting on horse races. Herman quit blacking boots when he had money, but like many others, it turned his head, and he didn't stop with what he had, but tried to make more, as he had made the rest. In a very short time Herman was as poor as ever, and had to get back to shining again. Edward Marks, Treasurer of the Metropolitan Turf Association and one of the best known book-makers in this country, died recently in New York, thus dissolving a partnership of years with Edward Burke, another book-maker. This partnership was remarkable in that no agreements of any kind were entered into, but they divided all gains and losses equally, taking each other's word for all transactions. At one time Burks asked Marks for $60,000, which was --- A passed over to him without a word, as representing Marks' loss of a bet of $120,000, and at another time $25,000 was passed between them, as profit on a winning bet of $50, .000. No question ever rose between them and they had implicit confidence in each other. Marks left a fortune of a million dollars. Outing at Auxvasse. Auxvasse Mo. Sept. 8th, 1902. Several families made up a purse and bought four lambs and all went down on the creek and Mr. Henry Branham barbecued the lambs just to suit the taste of every one who could eat anything at all. In addition to this well cooked lamb there was ice cream, cake and lemonade in abundance and every one ate to their heart's content, and left the grounds feeling much pleased with their outing. We will just say if any one wants any lambs cooked in alright style and suited to a queen's taste, just call on Mr. Branham. This was the second annual outing of this kind, it having been inaugurated last year, but we hope it will not be the last one. Mamie Woods, of Macon City, opened school three miles west of Auxvasse, this is Miss Woods second year as teacher here. After the Boodlers. City attorney Folk, of St. Louis, is certainly going after the boodle gang who have been robbing the people of St. Louis and depriving them of their rights by selling their votes to corporations. The crusade should not cease until they have all the portion in due season. St. Louis is probably not the only place in the state where boodling is going on, only on a smaller scale. NEW YORK'S SMART SET. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 5—Henry Watterson in the Courier-Journal makes another scorching attack on the New York 400, referring to them again as a flock of unclean birds. The editorial occupies two columns of space and says in part: "The term 'Smart Set' was adopted by society to save itself from a more odious description. The distinguishing trait of the 'smart set' is its moral abandon. It makes a business of defying and overleaping conventional restraints upon its pleasures and amusements. 'Being titled as a rule, and either rich in fact or of getting money how it may, it sets itself above the law, both human and divine. Its women are equally depraved with its men. They know all the dirt the men know. They talk freely with the men of things forbidden the decent and virtuous. They read the worst Paradise! N COLUMBIA.

The very question of sex becomes interchangeable, and sometimes it is the sissy earls and always the horsy girl who kicks out of the traces and drags the set through the mire. The women of this smart set no longer pretend to recognize virtue, even as a feminine accomplishment. Innocence is a badge of delinquency, a sign of the crude and raw, a deformity, which, if tolerated at all, must carry some promise of amendment; for among these titled cyprians the one thing needful is to know it all. "In London and in Paris and at Monte Carlo in the winter and at Trouville and Aix in the summer, they make life one unending debauch, their only literary provender, when they read at all, the creeds of De Annucio and Burget; their Mecca, the roulette table and the race course; their heaven, the --- VOL.

"It is true that we have come to a beautiful pass if the simpering johnies and the tough girls that make Sherry's and Delmonico's hum; that irradiate the corridors of the Waldorf-Astoria with the exhalations of their unclean lives and thoughts, emulating the demimondaines of the third empire, are to be accepted even by inference as the best society, whilst the good and virtuous of the land, even though quite able to pay their way at home and abroad, must be relegated to the middle class and dismissed as simple 'bourgeois.' "Must these unclean birds of gaudy, and therefore of conspicuous, plumage, fly from gilded boughs to boughs fouling the very air as they twitter their affectations of social supremacy and no one to shy a brick and to cry, 'Seat, you devils!'

The accounts of John Rose, the city treasurer of Wabash, who mysteriously disappeared on Tuesday night, are now said to be over $11,000 short. The demand for government bonds is steadily improving, probably because they are wanted by national banks as a basis for increased circulation.

Special trains are bringing in additional crowds, and the rush for these lands promises to be almost as great as the opening last fall. There are about 1,500 farms in the strip. The census bureau Wednesday issued a statement showing the decreasing age of the population from decade to decade. The statement gives the result, computing the meridian, instead of the average, age. The meridian is such an age that half the population is under it and half over it. The meridian age of the total population in 1900 was 22.8 compared to 21.9 in 1890.

Dublin, Sept. 9.—Patrick A. McHugh, member of parliament for North Division Leitrim, was released from Sligo jail today at the expiration of a sentence of a month's imprisonment for contempt of court. He was accorded a great reception in which the mayor, town councillors and 2,000 Nationalists took part. The streets of Sligo were decorated with flags in McHugh's honor. In an interview McHugh heatedly denounced the methods of his political opponents, which he described as only comparable in malignity to tribunals which Robespiere set up during the reign of terror. "While I was a prisoner," said McHugh, "Crown Solicitor Fenton, my accuser at the time of the scene which led to my imprisonment had me adjudged a bankrupt, looted my premises and closed the offices of the Sligo Champion. As long as this horror is allowed to oppress and terrorize the land under sanction of the law and judges, men must need fly from Ireland as from a land where justice is not." SHAMROCK III. TO BE A CUTTER Will Be Similar to Recent Cup Racers in Type and General Appearance —Work Progressing. London, Sept. 9.—The idea mooted in New York that the Shamrock III will be a schooner is unfounded. She will be a steel cutter similar to recent cup racers in type and general appearance. Sir Thomas Lipton, accompanied by Captain Wringe and William Fife, yacht designer, visited Denny's yard at Dumbarton, Scotland, this afternoon, and had a long interview with the heads of the firm, fixing details regarding the building of the Shamrock III. A long time was spent in the shed under which the cup challenger was built, and which is carefully guarded from outsiders. Work is now progressing therein and it was apparently very interesting to the Lipton party. Sir Thomas and his companions also went to Greenock and inspected the work being done on the Shamrock I, with the view of keeping her in readiness for use as a trial horse. PALMA IS GIVEN FULL POWER. Cuban House of Representatives Adopts Measure to Provide for Issuing Bonds. Havana, Sept. 10.—The loan bill passed the house of representatives by a vote of 48 to 2. President Palma is authorized to make the loan in the name of the nation for the amount of $35,000,000, the minimum price of the issue to be 90 and the maximum rate of interest to be 5 per cent. According to the bill, the loan is payable in 40 years, payments to begin ten years after the date of issue. Four million dollars are to be devoted to encouragement of agriculture and the cattle industry, and the sum of $31,000,000 is for the fulfillment of obligations contracted during the revolution and payment of the Cuban army. The executive is authorized to issue the loan in whatever series he may deem fit; he is also authorized to guarantee its operation with custom receipts of the nation. In order to provide for the appearance in the regular budget of funds for the payment of interest and maintain a sinking fund a consumption tax on alcoholic drinks is specifically imposed, besides 10 per cent of the total receipts from customs. The bill will go to the senate conference committee. Boers Off to Holland. London, Sept. 10—Boei Generals DeWet, Botha and Delarey started for Holland today. They were given hearty cheers by crowds. It is understood one of the requests that the visitors made to Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain was for permission for the Boer refugees in Europe to return to the respective districts in South Africa without taking the oath of allegiance. Secretary Chamberlain, however, did not agree to either this or the suggestion that certain holders of offices under the late South African government should be reappointed to their old positions. Situation in Martinique. Paris, Sent, 9. — A cablegraph has been received from M.

Slight Hope of Mediation—Mitchell Says the Strike is Still On and It Is Up to the Operators—Some Movement Now on Foot—Unusual Activity in Movement of Coal Cars at Scranton. New York, Sept. 9.—Gov. William A. Stone of Pennsylvania, who came to this city made an effort during the day to see what could be done towards settling the anthracite coal strike, returned to Harrisburg, Pa. tonight without apparently having been able to accomplish a settlement. There were rumors afloat that the governor's visit had results, but George W. Perkins of the J. P. Morgan company, denied tonight there was any change in the situation. Word to the same effect was received by long distance phone from President Truesdale of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad, who is out of town. Governor Stone was acc-maniped to the city by Attorney General Elkin of Pennsylvania and Senator Plynn of Hickory The City of Hickory had several officers' curation with P. A. Widener of Philadelphia in the offices of the United States Steel corporation. After the conference had lasted an hour Widener went to see J. Pierpont Morgan at the latter's office and asked him to use his influence to end the strike. Ten minutes later he returned to his fellow conferees and told them Morgan declined to interfere. Governor Stone gave out the following statement: "Attorney General Elkin. Senator Flynn and myself have been in consultation for several hours today with P. A. B. Widener, Philadelphia, who is director of the United States Steel corporation, and associated with Morgan in many business interests. Widener was very anxious to see the strike settled today and took the matter up with Morgan. We are doing what we can." Up to the Operators Wilkesbarre, Sept. 9.—President John Mitchell, United Mine Workers of America, tonight denied in most emphatic terms that the coal miners' strike had been declared off. He said: "I've received no proposition from the other side and I ve made none to the operators. The strike is still on, and will remain so until declared off by the Mine Workers in convention. It is up to the operators." The End Hinted At. Scranton, Sept. 9.—General Superintendent Rose of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad company Mine department, said today he had no knowledge of any negotiation which could possibly lead to a settlement of the strike. The opinion prevails here, however, that mine superintendents have knowledge of some movement which will likely soon end the strike. During the past few days there has been unusual activity in the movement of coal cars on four coal-carrying railroads whose mining operations are centered here. Long lines of coal cars have been placed on things convenient to different collieries. The President's Views. Cincinnati, ent. 9.—A guest of President Roosevelt during a portion of his trip through Ohio, when asked today if the subject of the settlement of the Pennsylvania coal strike was discussed, said it was. The president said the printed interview with him on the subject was imaginative. The guest of the president went on to say that no man deplores the present condition more than the president does, but he does not see clearly how he could take any part in adjusting the difference. Any interference on his part except by request of both parties would be construed into a threat to use the great power of his office to coerce one side or the other. If that there were really so action would be interference, not arbitration. If both sides should request the president to select an arbitration committee he would be glad to do so, but he could not give personal time to an investigation of the subject to the end of arriving at a just conclusion. Unless both sides make a request, voluntarily, he will not feel at liberty to interfere in the matter. The Latest. Philadelphia, Sept. 10—The North American this morning says J. Plerpont Morgan assented to the plan proposed by Governor Stone of Pennsylvania, for ending the coal miners' strike. The plan, according to the North American, was submitted to Morgan yesterday by P. A. B. Widener, this city. It is for the mine workers to return to work without a signed agreement; the operators, by concessions, to adjust differences existing between the men and companies; if after waiting a reasonable time the operators fail to do this, an arbitrator to be appointed, and if the men deem the decision of the arbitrator unjust then the men can again go on strike. The paper also says Governor Stone immediately telegraphed President Mitchell for a conference. Gov. Stone at Home Harrisburg, Sept. 9.—Governor Stone returned from New York tonight. He said he was doing everything possible to settle the differences between the miners and operators. He invited Senator Flynn of Pittsburg to accompany him because the senator employed 10,000 men and had never had a strike. He said he believed Flynn's advice as to the best means of ending the strike will be carefully considered by the operators. Wilkesbarre, Sept. 10.—President Mitchell early this morning said he had received no information from Governor Stone in reference to a conference; so far as he knew the strike situation is unchanged.

Grand Rapids, Mich., Sept. 9.—Despite a paralytic stroke which he suffered a week ago, from which he he is now slowly recovering, Judge George H. Durand of Flint will remain Democratic candidate for governor, and will head his party's ticket in the fall campaign. This decision was arrived at this afternoon at a special meeting of the Democratic state central committee held here. L. T. Durand, the judge's brother, appeared before the committee and made a detailed statement of his brother's condition. He said the judge's family left it to him to decide whether or not the judge's name be left on the ticket. All things considered, Durand said, he did not feel like requesting the name to be taken off. He left the matter to the committee to act on as it thought best after hearing of Judge Durand's condition. After a short secret session the committee adopted a resolution declaring Judge Durand's name will be left at the head of the ticket in view of the present encouragement for his speedy recovery. A formal address accepting the nomination which Durand was to read to the committee here today was read this afternoon by his brother, it having been written before the judge was stricken. Colorado Democrats. Denver, Sept. 9.—Edward C.

Chicago, Sept. 9.—The Denver Gateway of the Union Pacific, which has remained closed since 1896, has been thrown open to the Rock Island road for freight and passenger traffic, and to the Burlington for freight traffic. This radical change in the policy of the union Pacific caused great surprise today when it became generally known. A new agreement regarding traffic was entered into early in August, but has been kept secret until today. The greatest advantage to the Rock Island will come in traffic destined for North Pacific const points, which hitherto has been turned over to the Union Pacific. Under this agreement the Rock Island will enjoy a long haul on all this business, thereby securing an added advantage of over 1,000 miles.

New ork, Sept. 9.—A gale which began Thursday night is sweeping Lake Ontario from the west and paralyzing passenger traffic, says a Rochester, N.Y. dispatch to the Tribune. Only the largest steamers have been able to put out, and they have had some exciting experiences. The storm is causing most trouble to the hundreds of tourists, who, flocking from the Canadian lakes, are in the north shore ports, unable to reach home except by train, which means a roundabout trip by way of Toronto. The United States life saving crews along the lake shores have doubled their watches. Springfield, Ill., Sept. 8—Mrs. Catherine Ann Blair, grand niece of President Buchanan, died today at her home in Illopolis, aged 75 years. Died of Peritonitis Omaha, Sept. 8.—Jay Jordan Dickey ten-year-old son of J. J. Dickey, superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph company, died tonight of peritonitis after a weeks illness. Christine Nillson Widowed Paris, Sept. 9.—Count de Miranda husband of Christine Nillson, is dead at Cambo. Madame Nillson has been summoned to Sweden. ST. LOUIS SENSATION WARRANTS ISSUED FOR 18 ALLEGED MUNICIPAL BOODLERS J. K. Murrell Tells the Story—Returns From Mexico and Surrenders to the Circuit Attorney at Missouri Metropolis—Held the Key to Box Containing Large Sum Which Was to be Divided Among the Boodlers. St. Louis, Sept. 9.—A sensation was caused today by the issuance of bench warrants for the arrest of eighteen members and former members of the house of delegates on confession of Delegate J. K. Murrell, who fled to Mexico last spring, after being indicted for bribery by the December grand jury in connection with alleged boodling operations of the municipal assembly in granting street railroad franchises, and who unexpectedly returned to the city through the posts of the Post Dispatch, and surrendered. He is now in custody of Circuit Attorney Folk and will, it is stated, be granted immunity from punishment for turning state's evidence. Following are the names of alleged combine members for whom bench warrants have been issued, charging bribery and perjury in connection with the suburban street railway and other legislation: Ed E. Murrell, John H. Snettlett, Charles F. Kely, T. E. Albright, George F. Robertson, Louis Decker, John Helms, Charles A. Gutke, Adolph Madera, H. A. Faulkner, Julius Lehmann, Edmund Bersch, Otto Schmacher, John A. Sheridan, Charles J. Denny, Wm. Tamblyn, J. J. Hannigan and Emile Hartman. Warrants were served on E. E. Murrell, Schnettler, Albright, Robertson, Helms, Gutke, Faulkner, Schumacher and Hannigan, Albright or Faulkner were released in bonds of $30,000 each. Others arrested were allowed to go to their respective homes in custody of deputy sheriffs, who will remain with the accused until they shall have furnished surety for their appearance in court when the cases are called for trial. With the exception of Tamblyn, who was a member of the last house of delegates, and is now said to be in Cleveland, all the indicted delegates are believed to be in the city. Delegate Kelly telephoned the district attorney this evening he would surrender tomorrow and give bond. Police are watching the bridge and other possible avenues of escape from the city. J. K. Murrell made the following statement for publication today: "I have surrendered unconditionally to Circuit Attorney J. W. Fok and made a full confession to him. I am not permitted to give details of the evidence. I will all come out in the trials and I am willing to go on the stand" and tell all I know. I held the key to the box in the Lincoln Trust company containing $74,000 bribe money to go to house delegates upon the passage of the suburban bill. The money was put up as the purchase price for the votes of the combine, the price having been agreed upon. "The combine of house delegates was composed of 19 men. When the suburban matter came up before the combine I was selected to negotiate with Philip Stock, representative of the suburban railway as to the best price we could get for our votes upon the passage of the bill. The purpose of the combine was to control and sell legislation for the benefit of members of the combine. Shortly before the suburban bills, the combine sold its votes on lighting bills for $47,500. Each member of the combine received $2,500. I was present and saw that money paid to the various parties. These are only two instances, but there are others, evidence of which is in possession of the circuit attorney. "We did not look upon what we did as a serious crime. As it had gone on long without interruption it was not recognized by those who participated in it as morally wrong. Until the present circuit attorney took office no sincere effort, apparently, was ever made to punish what was being done as crime. The practice to combine in the assembly in taking bribes was so frequent I went along with the trade, and did not realize the enormity of the offense. My conscience was seared in that regard. 'After my indictment and commitment the boodle prosecution gang got together and raised money for the purpose of fighting the cases, and to retain supremacy of the gang. Lehman, Bersch and Helms acted as coaches for the witnesses who were to appear before the grand jury, though it seems these were not very successful. "I feel better, happier and my mind is easier now than for months. I propose to give the state all the aid in my power, and hope my conduct will be such in in future years that I may regain the confidence of my fellow citizens." It is stated Murrell returned to St. Louis last Friday and surrendered. The fact was kept secret until today. Charles J. Kratz, member of the council, who was indicted for bribery in connection with the suburban deal, and escaped to Mexico at the time Murrell went there, has not returned. UNITE THE PRESBYTERIANS Movement on Foot to Merge Cumberland Presbytery and Presbyterian Churches. Washington, Ind., Sept. 9.—The Morgan Presbytery of the Cumberland and Presbyterian church have voted in favor of uniting the Cumberland Presbyterian churches and Presbyterian churches. Similar action was taken at Decatur, Ill., and it is thought united action will cause the general assembly to take the matter up and discuss it favorably at the next meeting at Chattanooga in May, 1903. ELECTRIC RAILROAD PROJECT. Toledo, Monroe & Detroit Electric Road to be Extended From Monroe to Detroit, Mich. Detroit, Sept. 9—It was announced here today that Matthew Slush of Mount Clements, Mich., and Charles Hamman of Council Bluffs, Ia., have acquired an interest in the Toledo, Monroe & Detroit Electric Railroad company, and work will be begun at once to extend the line from Monroe to Detroit. The line has been in operation between Toledo and Monroe for some time. GEORGE DIXON IS DEFEATED. Pedlar Palmer, the English Light-weight, Outpointed Plucky Colored Fighter in 15-Round Fight. London, Sept. 8.—Pedlar Palmer of England defeated George Dixon of America, in a 15-round bout at the National Athletic club tonight for $500 a side and a purse of $500. Dixon was the favorite at odds of 5 to 4, but after the second round the odds turned in Palmer's favor. Dixon seemed unable to cope with the Englishman, although in the 12th round, when Palmer's hands were rather damaged, he made a determined effort, which he kept up until the end, but could not offset Palmer's big lead of points secure! in the early rounds. Four ounce gloves were used and the weight limit was 120 pounds. Weinig Defeated Chicago, Sept. 8.—Billy Stift of Chicago was given the decision over Al Weingin of Buffalo in the second round of a scheduled six-round contest tonight. Stift displayed better science and had Weingin in bad condition at the close of the first round. In the second, after receiving a hard left on the jaw, Weingin went down for a count of five. After he rose, he went down again without being struck and was disqualified by Referee Siler. LOCOMOTIVE FIREMEN MEET. Convention Opened at Chattanooga Yesterday—Over Six Hundred Delegates in Attendance. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 8.—Considerable work of importance lies before the biennial convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fremen, which was opened today. The address of President Roosevelt excluded all other business for the day and the real work of the convention will not be taken up until tomorrow. There are over 600 delegates present. A number of changes in the constitution and in the beneficiary will be considered. An interesting contest for the successor to Grand Master E. P. Sargent is expected. It is understood the contest will be between Grand Secretary Arbold and Acting Grand Master J. J. Hannahan. ALL TRAILS LEAD TO NORFOLK Fifty-fifth Annual Convention of the Red Men Opened at Norfolk, Va., Yesterday Morning. Norfolk, Va., Sept. 8.—The Great Council of Red Men began its 55 annual session in Norfolk today with prominent members of the order in attendance from all parts of the country. Only routine matters received attention. The council assembled in Elks' hall at 9 o'clock and listened to addresses of welcome by Mayor Riddick and others. The response was by Dr. Edwin D. Wiley, the present head of the order. The council will continue in session until Friday, and considerable important business will be disposed of. Reports will be read and Thomas G. Henderson, of Indiana, will be advanced to the highest chieftaincy. ATTLE SPOT NOT FOR PUBLIC M. P. Grace, Brother of New York's Ex-Mayor, to Use Historic English Pile as Residence. New York, Sept. 8. It appears that M. P. Mace, brother of ex-Mayor Grace of New York, the new tenant of Battle Abbey, does not intend that the historic pile shall continue to be a show place through the year, as heretofore, says a London dispatch to the Tribute. When the abbey was in occupation by the late duke and duchess of Cleveland the public was afforded the privilege of inspecting the interior every Tuesday and the Hastings townpeople, who have always looked upon the place more as a natural monument than a private residence, are much concerned regarding this new turn of events. Plea to the Court Justice Giegerich of the supreme court, who has a fine summer house on Staten Island, is fond of sailing, and a few days ago he invited a friend of his, a lawyer, to go down the bay with him. At the start, the wind was quite brisk, but soon freshened in a gale, and caused the little craft they were in to tos and roll in a manner that soon caused the lawyer's features to twist into expressive contortions. Justice Giegerich, noticing his friend's plight, laid a soothing hand on the latter's shoulder and said: "My dear fellow, can I do anything for you?" "Yes, your honor," replied the lawyer in plaintive tones, "you will greatly oblige me by overruling this motion." —New York Tribune. MARKET REPORTS. St. Louis Livestock.

(Copyright, 1901, by Authors' Syndicate.) 1901, by Authors' Syndicate.) An unmarried man in the hotel! That is the condition which confronted 15 desperate spinsters in Belleview house, at the north end of Long lake. The lake itself spread from the front plaza in an expanse of light blue in OT an unmarried man in the hotel! That is the condition which confronted 15 desperate spinsters in Belleview house, at the north end of Long lake. The lake itself spread from the front plaza in an expanse of light blue in sunshine and dark blue in shadow. His surface crinkles into white, the stroke of strong waves. Its precipitous shores were swathed in hemlock and balsam pine, and ...e healthy resinous odors of these invaused the nostrils. The prevailing colors of t. s landscape and waterscape were blue and green—dark green. The air was like wine. Nothing lacked to make Belleview house and Long lake a summer paradise, except men. He came, and, of course, made a commotion. The commotion was decorous and under the surace, but it was there. One of the girls, gazing disconsolately from her window near noon, saw him dismount from the red road cart of the hotel. He abstracted a valise and a couple of fishing rod cases in a businesslike way, and walked into the office. He was out of her sight, but not out of her mind. She went in succession to the rooms of the other 14, rapped on the doors, called softly through the transms: "A man!" and hurried to dress. A little later, grouped about the register, they read his name: "Harvey Rowland, New York," written in a large, black, sprawling hand. Curiously enough, the writing seemed to convey that the fingers which held the pen were used to something heavier. The man himself, the badgered clerk said, had immediately taken a boat and gone out to catch fish; he would not return before dinner. This was unsatisfactory, but better than nothing; he was there, anyhow. The girl who had seen him became a center. Really, she had seen only a sturdy figure under a soft brown hat, but she was not hampered in drawing his portrait. He was young, strong, well dressed, evidently of refinement. She should say that he had blue eyes and a sweeping golden mustache. One hand was gloved, but the other was white and shapely, and she thought that she had noticed a brilliant upon a finger. When she had detailed the story for the tenth time she knew the man so well that she felt akin to him; she would have known him anywhere. They saw him that night at dinner and took stock. He varied in particulars from the verbal pictures. He was more than $0, heavily built, with a dark skin, plenty of black hair and dark gray eyes. He had a mustache, but it was as jetty as the wing of a raven. He was quiet in demeanor, surveying them casually and respectfully, but without tremor. He had a large chin and resolute jaw. His hands were brown and powerful—capable looking hands. He spoke seldom, in a deep, even voice, and he had an excellent appetite. After dinner he did not hang about the plazas waiting to be introduced, but, knowing the thing in store for him, walked into the woods, where he smoked a cigar, and, returning, to bed. He was voted distinctly disappointing. Among these young women, some of whom were chaperoned and some were not, was Winifred Bray—unchaperoned. She was 25 years old, and able to take care of herself. She was a woman of the world and a woman worker—a writer for magazines and the press—and had come to the lake for rest. She liked solitude; the man liked solitude. Since they wanted to be alone, they found themselves mysteriously drawn together. There was something in her which led him to seek her society; there was something in him which compelled her. Her absorption of him did not please her women acquaintances, and she did not care. As for Rowland, he knew nothing about it. It is sure that if made aware of it, he would have cared even less than she. In respect to his life and deeds he was a singular man. He found it sweet that summer. Love is the noblest passion of which humanity is capable, but in its origin, at least, it is sexual and propinquity is the strongest factor in its creation. At the far end of the boat was an olive face with serious brown eyes, red lips and rounded cheeks and chin. Her figure was strong, upright and beautifully molded; her voice firm and tuneful. They had many things in common. Their likes and dislikes suited. He had a strong sense of humor, strongly the intricacies of the European capitals at his tongue's end; she had read wisely and experienced much. She grew into his heart and became a part of it. Being sensible, she underwent no lengthy throes of mental dissection in the effort to determine whether or not she liked him. She loved him and knew that she loved him, and she waited for him to speak. Rowland was not a good man, but he was strong mentally and physically. There had been much in his life to make him a hater of the world. Hitherto he had not been worried by the fact that he had been so worried that he had rather liked it. Now it seemed to him that he had missed much. He could not condemn the woman to a life of solitude—and there were other reasons why he should not take her to him. It was characteristic of him that he never doubted her love for him. Indeed, she made no effort to conceal it, though between them there had been no declaration of it. As he was strong the temptation assaulted him in double force and he fought with it mightily. Let it be set down to his credit that the better part of him won. There was good—much good—in Rowland, if only he had been permitted to show it earlier in life. On a soft and brilliantly moonlit night, when the hemlocks cast black shadows upon the water and the demonical laughter of a floating loon came from far, he rested upon his oars and spoke to her. His face was a dead white and he gripped the ear-handles until his knuckles showed white also. He said: "I love tomorrow; I should have gone long ago. Do you know that I love you?" She answered soberly: "I do." "Do you love me?" Again: "I do." "I knew it; I felt it; I was afraid of it! Yet the knowledge is sweet. Do not think that I have staid on and on in the desire to win you. I would have gone if it had been possible to me, but you held me. I cannot ask you to go with me now! I cannot ask you to come to me in future. There is a gulf between us, wide, deep, impassable. What my life would have been with you to guide and sustain it I cannot say; but I know what it has been and is. It is damnable. If you belonged to me I should smirch you, and I love you too well to blacken you. I cannot ask you to come; I do not believe that you would come if you knew the truth, and it would be necessary to me to tell you the truth." She had had her dreams within the past month and now they were shattered, but she was brave and looked at him straight as she replied: "I accept your words at their face value. You only know yourself," what you have been; what you are; what you will be. If there is contamination in you do not ask me to come in touch with it, because I should refuse and it would go hard with me. I do not want your secret. I know that you have not spoken idly. Let me remember you as you came into my life and dwelt there for a little while. It will be a dear memory." "I—" She raised one slender hand in the moonlight and the words were stilled on his lins. The boat grated at the pier and she walked alone up the path on the hillside that wound threadlike among the pines. Once in an open space she turned toward him. The silver bars sifted through the branches and fell upon her and she waved him a good-by. Winifred Bray, taking up her life work where she let it fall and doing her duty as she saw it, with an ever lessening poignancy of regret, coming in time to think of her vanished summer as something dead, to be put away into dust, did not read this paragraph in the daily press and would not have remembered it if she had: "Sweetwater, Minn., Nov. 10.—Burglar's last night blew open the vault of the first National bank at Homewood, 20 miles east of here. This morning the local police attempted to arrest two strangers who reached here in a wagon. A desperate fight followed in which one of the men was slain; the other escaped and a posse is in pursuit. The wagon contained the cash and a kit of tools. Letters in the dead man's pocket were addressed to 'C. J. Howard.' He is believed to have been 'Black Cyrus' Howard, the notorious cracksman from Boston.' HE DIDN'T KNOW THE LINGO New York Tribune: A Harvard graduate tells this story on himself. Says he: "The summer after graduation I was traveling alone through Germany. Before landing in the country I had thought that I knew considerable about the language, having spent two years in the study of it, with a finish of Goethe and Schiller. But I soon found that a reading of the poets or the Niedelungen Lied did not help me when I wanted to order a beefsteak at a hotel or was inquiring the distance to the next town. Indeed, as I went further up the hill, I found myself more and more confused if I heard I finally made up my mind that an American cannot learn the German language out of the textbooks, or even by a week's sojourn among the German people themselves. "I had reached this sober conclusion when I entered one evening a small inn, or 'gashaus,' just outside the town of Heldealberg. Thirsty from the hot sun and dusty road, I managed to order a glass of beer. While the heavy German innkeeper was drawing another I put my feet on the table to better ease my legs. At the other end of the table sat a number of German soldiers drinking and smoking together. A few moments later one of the soldiers arose hastily, and, taking off his cap, addressed me at some length. Not knowing a word that was said, I concluded that yes would be a proper answer, and so I said politely: 'Yah, yah!' The document's pause, and then a second soldier sprang to his feet. He repeated over the speech of the first soldier, and then, all the group in uniform started at me. By a natural inference I now decided that if 'yah' was wrong, a negative answer must fit the question, so I smiled pleasantly and taking off my hat, answered, 'Nein, nein, nimmer.' "All the soldiers now sprang to their feet, and there might have been international complications at the present time between the United States and Germany if the hotelkeeper who knew a bit of English, had not said: 'Young man, they have asked you two to take a fee of the table and asked if you do not that they will throw you out of the house.' "At this the stars and stripes were pulled down before I realized that I had beaten a retreat." Human Desires Make Civilization. Human Desires Make Civilization. Civilization indeed consists in the attempt to minimize the evils, while conserving the benefits of the hitherto inevitable conflict between material resources and human desires. As long, however, as this conflict endures, the primary explanation of human life must continue to be the economic explanation—the explanation of the adjustment of material resources to human desires. This adjustment may be modified by aesthetic, religious and moral, in short, by intellectual and spiritual; forces; but in last resort it still remains an adjustment of life to the wherewital of life.-- Political Science Quarterly. WASHINGTON IN THE NURSERY Forgot His Dinner to Play With the Children. Children's Visitor: I read a very pretty story the other day, which I must tell you, because you all like stories; and it is about one whom you love. It occurred more than a hundred years ago. One winter night a large house in a Northern state was brilliantly illuminated; the table was spread with all the silver and glass and bright decorations, while a number of good things were provided for eating. A guest was expected, and the dinner was spoiling. The domestic said that the guest had arrived an hour before, and had been shown to a room so that he could rest and wash before dinner. As he did not come down, the host excused himself to the other guests and went upstairs. On his way he passed the nusery and there sat the missing guest, a baby astride his foot. He was "riding the child to Boston" and singing quite lustily, "How the Derby Was Won," to the delight of another child close by. When he say his host he was a little confused, but finished the song, then rose and bade the children good-night. "Say 'Good-night, and thank you, General George Washington,'" said the father. "Good-night, and thank you, General George Washington!" the children called after him. How happy those children must have been through life to remember the time when Washington forgot his dinner to play with them. HOW'S THIS?

If, notwithstanding the vigilance of the federal secret service, this wideawake country is occasionally flooded with counterfeit money, it is natural to expect that less watchful nations would sometimes get into very serious difficulties through the counterfeiting of the currency. A case in point is Corea, which apparently is the counterfeiter's paradise. Part of the trouble arises from the attempt of the government to establish a nickel coinage, the intrinsic value of which is only about one-eighteenth its face value. Consequently nickel is being imported in immense quantities. The British vice consul at Chemulpo is authority for the statement that there are regular market quotations on counterfeits. For instance, the official coinage is quoted as first class, the best counterfeits as third class, and the poorest imitations as fourth class.—New Orleans Piscayne. MONEY.

The people of Alexandria, Va., propose to erect a monument to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of George Washington. The first president, in his youth, was one on those who helped to survey the old city of Alexandria in 1749. After a lapse of several weeks, Andrew Carnegie has again taken up his British benefactions. He has offered to donate $150,000 for the establishment of free libraries in the borough of Marylebone, on condition that the borough provide maintenance. A strange case is that of Mrs. Mary Elvira Gillespie, who at the age of 84 has just been admitted to a hospital in Denver. She is the mother of 37 children, including 15 sets of twins, but all have drifted away from her and she knows not the address of one of them. The centennial anniversary of Louis Kossuth's birth will be celebrated in Hungary on Dec. 17 next. The municipality of Buda-Pesth is making preparations for a solemn celebration, including a procession to Kossuth's grave, where the foundation stone of a mausoleum will be laid. Dr. Ales Hrdicka has just returned to New York from a visit to the hidden sacred caves of the Hutchol Indians of Jalisco, Mexico, bringing back with him many specimens of their handicraft. Charles M. Schwab, the steel trust magnate, cannot be in as precarious a state of health as has been reported. On the dining car where he lunched on his way from Plattsburg to New York the other day he disposed of the following viands: Soup (two plates), roast chicken (one-half), green corn, potatoes, Lima beans, cantaloupe, lemon pie (two pieces), coffee (one cup). No one has amassed millions so rapidly as Alfred Beit, the South African millionaire, who is reputed to be the wealthiest man in the world. His fortune is said to exceed $1,000,000,000, and he has an income sufficient to make ten new millionaires every year. The whole of this colossal fortune was made within a period of 25 years. Charles Becker, an expert forger, who is about to be released from the California penitentiary, has agreed to quit his old business in consideration of a pension that is to be allowed him by the bankers. Five hundred dollars a month is to be his allowance, and the bankers think they are buying him off cheaply at that price. Rear Admiral Thomas O. Selfridge is the oldest living officer of the navy, but is so sensitive and secretive about his age that his closest friends can only guess at it. The records show that he entered the navy as a midshipman on Jan. 1, 1818, at which time he must have been at least 15 years old. He is, therefore, probably 99. His e oldest son, Rear Admiral Thomas O. Selfridge, Jr., is 66 years old. The most remarkable divorce suit of modern times is probably that just brought by Mrs. Evelyn Moore, of Hiawatha, Kan., whose husband is a Presbyterian preacher. In her petition Mrs. Moore alleges that Mr. Moore made a paddle out of a plank and that when he became enraged at her, which was frequently, he would spank her cruelly with the paddle, causing great bodily pain and much mental anguish. There is to be a gathering of the Robinsons and their kinsfolk at the Hotel Surfside, Gloucester, Mass. This is the second meeting of the association, which was inaugurated under the auspices of the Old Colony Historical society at Taunton, Mass., July 18, 1900. The association is national in its character, embracing all of the kin who are descended from the original stock of immigrants to America previous to the year 1700. The commissioner of patents has affirmed on appeal the decision of the examiner of trademarks, refusing to Stillson Hutchins, of Washington, D. C., registration for the word "telegraph" as a trademark for apparatus for recording and reproducing sounds, signals and the like. Registration was refused on the ground that the word was descriptive, and, therefore, it was unnecessary to discuss any further reasons for refusal. Prof. William H. Wright, of the astronomical staff of the Lick observatory, has been chosen to take charge of the D. O. Mills expedition, to spend two years in Chili in making special researches among the stars of the Southern hemisphere. Director W. W. Campbell will go with the party to personally direct the erection of the observing station. Harold K. Palmer, fellow in the Lick observatory for the past four years, will be Professor Wright's assistant. General Greely, chief of the United States signal service, has sailed for Alaska, where he will superintend the building of the government telegraph system from Valder to Eagle City. Is this the beginning of the government control of the telegraph? It is announced that owing to the difficulty of maintaining the land lines from Dawson to Ashcroft, the government may lay a land cable over the most difficult mountains. At present during severe storms or freshets the lines are interrupted by the falling of trees, etc. The entire estate of William Lidderdale, late governor of the Bank of England, who died not long ago, amounts to only $5,000. He was an authority upon all questions of British finance, and for years was a power in the operations of the English exchequer and London Stock Exchange. His power was immense, but it had to be exercised in accordance with law and with strict regulations. His position, instead of bringing him opportunities to gain wealth, deprived him of such opportunities. On the coast of Brazil is a large deposit of monazite sand, resembling sea sand, but somewhat more yellowish and brownish, which contains several per cent of the oxides of thorium and cerium, says the Gas World.

OFFICIAL BLACKMAILING Where Every One is Touched by the Powers That Be. Onlooker: It is not required that I name rumsellers, gamblers and brothel ministers of vice; their history as ones harrowed of blackmail is already too well known. It is not too much to say that, in this criminal hand or that, no fewer than $50,000,000 of blackmail are wring from the people of New York ear. And do you not think a practice of defense, against these pirates, a plan which will buckler the vulture, the weak from the assaults of these rogues of office—who turn on or turn off the law as one might water at a hydrant, and as drowning or by drought compel the victim to surrender—do you not think, I ask, that a proposal of defense against these iniquities, one which will work out, enmish in practice, would as an issue sweep the town? The best-walking police alone, despite the Scotch proverb which speaks ill of hawks that pick out hawks' eyes, are blackmailed an average of $40 an annual head, or an aggregate of over a quarter million, by the obliging force of 'transfers'. That champion of right who will draw blade against the system of blackmail which in every avenue of the town's life prevails and offer a working business method of defense against it will bring 90 of every 100 votes to his shoulder. The town is blackmailed to death. Not alone by the police; but by folk in every department, executive, clerical, legislative, and whether, for land or water—streets or docks. There be land rats and water rats, land thieves and water thieves', said the Stratford playwright, and he told the story of New York city three centuries in advance.

PRESS OF THE MISSOURI STATESMAN. Col. Henry Watterson is trying to convince the New York "Smart set" that they are not so smart after all. SOME people have an idea that it is their duty to advise everybody they see doing anything, just how to do it. Do not be so free with your advice until it is sought and ask for.

No excuse can be given now for not subscribing to it, other than lack of race pride. No man should remain away from the polls on election day, because the argument is presented to him that there is nothing in the election for him. But he should consider it his imperative duty and a citizen to help select men to fill public offices and to make laws by which he is to be governed. Most all schools and colleges have opened and the attendance at them all seems to be good, but it could be much better. Many young men and young women who should be in some good college, can be found parading the streets of our cities only waiting for time to land them in some gambling den or house of ill-fame. Fathers and mothers are too careless about their children's welfare and are to willing to let their children work out their own salvation. No More Hair Straighteners. The management of this paper has decided to carry no more advertisements in these columns that are usually brands for negro Journals, such as "Great hair straighteners" and "Wonderful face bleaches" etc. All such ads are misleading fakes. None of the remedies do what they are represented to do, besides no intelligent person should loose any time or money trying to change the color of his or her skin, or producing un-natural hair. Enough money is spent every year for such trash to straighten the brains of many youths. TO LIVE LONG. Most people are eager to have a good, tried recipe for longevity. There are many such about, few are really practicable or really reliable, as what has proved good in one case has not done so in another, but the advice offered by Sir Henry Thompson to those who would like to reach old age, as he has done, and remain vigorous and hardworking as well, is really possible for all to follow. He does not pretend that longevity can be attained quite easily. On the contrary, his system involves much self denial; but, at least, it is not an eccentric one. His theory, based on practical and personal experience, is that strict temperance in food as well as drink will pro- DR. D.W. OULP long life. In early life one may eat freely, but as middle life is reached one must "slow down."

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

Lucas, a negro preacher who is field agent of the Young People's Christian Educational Congress, has been preaching to large congregations of negroes in Mobile. Here are some things he said to his colored brethren: I have decided that the only way to get rid of the "jim crow" car is to get rid of the "jim crow" negro. If I could use 200,000 bars of soap the unwashed negroes that travel on trains and hang around depots, I would solve the negro problem about 20 per cent. Lazy, ragged, barefeet fellows longing for silver slippers and long white robes and counting themselves worthy; neglecting to provide for their families on earth, and yet claiming a house not made with their hands in God's heaven. The white man is trying to make this earth blossom as a rose, and the negro is getting ready to die. The white man is organizing business enterprises and the negro organizing societies to turn out to their funerals! Now I object to a hundred dollar funeral to a 50-cent negro. The negro eats up and dresses away all he makes One square meal on Sunday sweeps away all the wages of the week. He reminds me of the mule which ate the shipping tag from his leg: An old negro exclaimed: "Gee, dat mule done et up whar's he gwine." That's what the negro does. He eats up his living. PARENTS. TAKE CARE. From an Exchange. Now that schools are opening it may be well for ambitious parents who are asking the teachers to "push their children forward" to take time to consider the question suggested by the following newspaper clipping: "Brain fever at 12—and we are left alone." "We pushed her, and God knows we have suffered for our mistake." "She graduated, but she never recovered, and in two years we had no daughter." "I thought more of a diploma than I did of my child. Now I have only the diploma." "Everything that love and skill could suggest was done. But our eyes had been opened too late." "Promotion! Promotion!" was our cry. Then our little girl was promoted. But not in the way we hoped." "We placed an education above health, and the life of a promising boy of 18 is the price we paid for our mistake." "It was music and painting added to a tired brain. Now our house is still, a monument to our thoughtlessness." "What would not my husband and I give of our means to-day if we could undo the past and bring our child back! That is the hardest part to bear, the feeling of what we might have done. From the housetops we would cry out to parents to take care!" Administrator's Notice.
