McGuire, Mr. E. A. Washington. Resolutions in Respect to P. W. O. Thomas W. Mitchell. Whereas, our heavenly Father has removed from his earthly field of labor our esteemed and honored P. W. O. Thomas W. Mitchell, who departed this life Friday, June 15th, and Whereas we do humbly bow to the will of Him who has bereft us, we nevertheless feel with deep sorrow the departure of this our worthy brother, who was so faithful and earnest, so kind and ever ready to do all in his power for the advancement of the Court. From its foundation to his death, he was the same. His plain and affable manner, his constant and unewarring adherence to duty, his kind and amiable disposition were but few of the stars that shone so brilliantly out from his true and honest character, and Whereas, we do miss him so much for his worthiness and help as a member of this Court ever ready with willing feet and hands to do services for the uplifting of those around him and for the welfare of the order of Calanthe. So nobly has he defended her name, so uncompromisingly has he stood up for her principles, so jealousy has he guarded her honor and so proudly has he followed her teachings and Whereas, we so deeply feel the seering of the golden chord that bound us together, and here mourn our sad affliction, trusting in that fidelity and love that shall in due time harmonize every grief and bring sunshine and joy for every tear. Therefore, be it ordained that this expression of our love and respect for him be made a part of the record of the Court, that special prayer be off-ered in meeting assembled for God's blessings upon his faithful wife and children, that a copy be sent to the family and published in our weekly paners. "Well done, faithful brother, Peace to thy rest." Sylvia Court, No. 105, Independent Order of Calanthe. Mrs. Harriet Thompson, W. C., Mrs. Heater L. Williams, R. of D. Resolutions of Condolence on the Death of Sister Sarah Weeden, by Sylvia Court, 165, I. O. of C. Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to remove from our Court and her dear family our esteemed sister Sarah Weeden; and Whereas, Sister Weeden was a faith- ful, consistent member of the Court and was usually found at the post of duty, therefore be it Resolved 1st; That Sylvia Court, No. 105, I. O. of C., sustained a great loss in her death. Resolved 2nd; We bow in humble submission to the will of our heavenly Father. I resolved 5d: That the court cheerles for her a most loving memory and extends its heart of sympathy to the bereaved family, whom she leaves behind and commend them to the great Keeper of mankind, who doest all things well.

THE PLANET Before a Country Justice MAY I go along, Uncle Tom?" said John, as he heard the discussion at the breakfast table. The talk was all about "old man Timberlake," who had been arrested the day before for working on Sunday. The old man was a terribly industrious fellow, and his wife and all the folk being away on a visit he had been "baching it," or leading an enforced life of bachelorhood for a week or more. Meanwhile he had been plugging along in his usual way, working early and late, and just more than digging into the weeds with the cultivator. He always calculated Sunday by seeing "Uncle Bill Jimmerson" go by the road with the mail for Stromberg of a Friday. But Jimmerson had a "turn of rheumatiz" and was late one day, and so Timberlake rustled the bay mules out and went into the fields, just as he always did. He thought it was Saturday, but it was Sunday, and thereby came his discomfiture. For as every man of any determination of character is sure to have one or more enemies, so it was with Timberlake. And when Bob McClanahan came driving along going to the Baptist church and saw his ancient foe plowing the weeds out of the corn, he saw an opportunity of getting even for what he deemed had been an injury by Timberlake. The warrant was sworn out and the arrest made. Old man Timberlake didn't know what it was about at first, and he posted off clear to Dorinda and got a lawyer to defend him. The whole country round was talking about the case and, as John's uncle was going, the boy also was anxious to attend. A CROWD OF, MEN STOOD OUTSIDE THE SQUIRRE'S OFFICE. His uncle finally agreed that the boy could come, and at eight o'clock they started for "the squire's." It was about six miles to his place, and when they got there the place was festoned with teams whose owners had come to the trisl. There were single and double rigs, "buckboards," farm wagons, two buggies and any number of ponies. A crowd of men stood outside of the squire's office, and the partisans of both men gathered in little groups and discussed the matter. The squire's "office" was nothing more nor less than his parlor, or "best room." A portrait of George Washington, very uncompromising in expression, hung from one of the walls, and a wild-looking chromo, depicting a storm at sea, faced it from the other wall. There were two stuffed chairs that went with the sofa in point of time and upholstering, and a sheet iron stone stood in one corner of the room. There was a mantelpiece back of the stove on which rested a clock with a green rural scene painted on the glass below the countenance of the clock. This represented various festive May day swains and swainesses, but the paint had been gradually wearing off until the picture was ragged and grotesque. Next to the clock was an odorous kerosene lamp. Next to that was a candlestick with candle and a pair of tin "snuffers." There was a rag carpet on the floor with red and blue stripes predominating, and a black cat stretched his legs back meditatively as the litigants peered inquiringly into the room. The "squire's" wife, thin, nervous and with an added sense of her importance, gossiped eagerly, with a couple of the "women folks" who had come along, and the family dog, a big, yellow brute, shuffled from one place to another, evidently hugely disgusted with the stir and bustle of the court. John sat on the fence and listened to the talk. Some of the men thought old "Bob" 'ort to be fined for workin' on a Sunday, even if he didn't know for a fae' that hit wuz a Sunday." They backed up their opinion by the rule that "a feller ort to keep it in his head what the days of the week wuz, 'lout reckonin' on no mall carrier." Others were more merciful in their views of Mr. Timberlake's offense. One tall, jeans-shirted farmer said that "sometimes a feller kain't git the rights of the time, an' the question with him would be whether a man reely allows to do a thing he ortn't to do, or whether he done something the law says he kain't do, an' he, the feller, does it becz him fergils, or becz him he gits the wrong idea." In the meantime an unusual stir and gathering at the doorway of the office denoted that the hour was drawing night, so the boy slid off the fence and joined the crowd as it squeezed into the "courtroom." Hats off was the understanding of the day the neighbors entered the sacred precincts of the halls of justice, and a general elbowing off of headgear com- menced. All the men there were soft hats of some year's vintage or other, excepting the lawyer who appeared for the defendant. This gentleman had a tall "stove-pipe" hat, which was a genuine curiosity in those parts. The lawyer was quite conscious of the interest excited by his appearance, and was gravely making the most of it. The "plug" hat, which was a part of his stock in trade for awing the uninitiated, was very ostentatiously brushed and set on the mantelpiece. Then he got out a couple of lawbooks from his saddlebags, and with spectacles astride his nose he pondered over those books like one waterlogged with deep thoughts. The defendant, Bob Timberlake, was a typical Saxon in appearance—all but his complexion. He was a big man, yellow of beard and hair, and with much evidence of locks and whiskers. His eyes were bright blue and his nose was hooked like a hawk's. He had, in fact, the look of a bewildered birds of prey. He apparently did not know whether he wanted to fight or not. The squirre was as impassive as a shock of corn. He was an iron-faced man with chin whiskers like wire. He sat in the shadow of the statutes of Iowa and asked odds of no man. The audience shifted and whispered, and finally the solemn-visaged lawyer announced that he was ready to go on with the case. The prosecuting witness, together with a wagon load of people, testified to the fact that on the previous Sunday at about the hour of eight o'clock in the morning, they were all going to church, and as they passed the Timberlake farm they saw Robert Timberlake plowing in the fields with a "cultivator." The lawyer for Timberlake merely cross-examined them as to the well-known enmity existing between the house of McClanahan and that of Timberlake, and then excused them from the witness stand. Then he put on the mail-carrier, who testified that he had been obliged to lay back a day with the mall, and in consequence of that fact had come by on Saturday instead of Friday, as had been his custom for five years. The carrier further testified that he saw Timberlake in the field on that day and "hollader" to him and tried to get him to come over to the road, but the old man "jus" hollered back and druv over the ridge." Then Timberlake took the chair and testified that he thought it was Saturday when he got up in the morning, for the reason that the mail went by the day before. That he had seen people going by on their way to church, but that he had no notion of what it meant. That he thought it must be some plonic or something. That he had an almanac in the house, but that he had depended on the mail-carrier for Sunday except when his folks were at home, and then "the old woman" always hauled him out for church. He did not deny the crime, but he said that it was committed under a misapprehension of the day. The evidence all being in, the lawyer for the defense drew his authorities and started his speech. This was really what the audience had been waiting for, and they leaned forward and drunk in every word of the discourse. It was simply an elaborate and vivisecting exposition of the character of Samuel McClanahan. As such it was really artistic. He read from his books, and he likened the complaining witness to Judas, the Pharisees, to Nero, a jay-bird and a yellow dog. Johan had never heard anything like it in his life. He soared into the regions of American Liberty with a roar like the wind in the "big woods," and he let his voice drip down in the valleys of pathos as soft as a turtle dove coiling to his mate. He ridiculed the idea that McClanahan was actuated by any other motivethan petty revenge, and made a very pretty figure about the Lord in the fields on a Sabbath day. McClanahan squirmed and reddened and clinched his fists under the tirade. Old man Timberlake, on the other hand, beamed and glowed and smiled and chuckled as the speech progressed, and when it ended with a thunder burst of several-syllabled abuse, he was the happiest man in the room. The justice never quivered during the argument. His decision he rendered immediately. He said that Mr. Timberlake didn't deny working on Sunday; that he had known him for upward of 20 years; that he knew Mr. Timberlake had honestly made a mistake. But that didn't alter the fact. Under the law, and he was bound by the law, it was his duty to judge facts only, and let the bark fall where it might. He would impose a fine of fire dollars. Old Bob paid it, and then went into a corner and paid his lawyer. He was still smiling when he left, and shook hands with the "squire" before he went away. As John and his uncle rode away, the tall farmer was saying: "By cat, if I could pick the feller to git me brought up for workin' on a Sunday, I'd hire that feller from Dorindy to defend me, an' git into the field next Sunday. It's a great way to git even with some fellers."—Chicago Daily Record. What Ends It. A young lady (matrimonially bent apparently) left her prayer book behind her one Sunday in church instead of bringing it home with her as usual. Inside of it she had written the following effusion: A bunch of flow'rs, A look or two, A little billing, A little coo— A little coming And going, till They go to church And say: "I will"— And that ends it. On looking at the book on the following Sunday she observed that some one had pencilled this effusion in it: My lass, you're wrong— You surely are; You worked that rhyme Just one too far; It ends right there— Oh, no if don't! For coming home She says: "I won't!" And that begins it. Democrats Who Don't Drink. David B. Hill neither drinks nor smokes. Richard Croker is also a teetotaler. THE RICHMOND PLANET RICHMOND VIRGINIA Antiguan Nodes of Punishment for Petty Larceny, Wife-Beating, Ete., Are Still Quite Popular in the Little State. The recent whippings at the Delaware whipping post, at Dover, of criminals who have been indicted and found guilty by the court of petty larceny and other crimes where the post and pillory are the penalty, have created no little interest and talk. The efficiency of this mode of punishment for criminals has been discussed perhaps more than ever in the last few years, owing to the fact that there has been an effort made to have both post and pillory abolished from the statute books of Delaware, on the ground that they are a most barbarous and inhuman method of punishment of criminals; also because Delaware is the only state in the union which still holds to these relics of olden times. Much can be said, however, in favor of the whipping post and pillory in Delaware. While not an absolute preventive of petty larceny, yet their success in this direction is appreciated by the law abiding citizens of the state, for the reason that seldom does a criminal, sentenced by the court for the larceny of chickens or anything else in that line to suffer 10, 15 or 20 lashes at the post before a crowd of several hundred people, come back for the second dose. While undergoing the punishment of the pillory the victim is almost perfectly motionless, hardly able to move his head or hands. In some instances, however, where the neck of the prisoner is small, he can move it enough to keep him from getting THE PILLORY AT DOVER. (A Form of Punishment Obtaining Only in Little Delaware.) the cramp in it, as is often the case. There have been cases where a prisoner has chewed tobacco during the whole time of his incarceration, which is never less than one hour, and in aggravated cases sometimes is two hours. While in the pillory the prisoner is allowed to wear his coat and hat, which serves to lessen his shame to the eyes of the gazing public, who generally flock around the prisoner as soon as he is placed therein. If the pillory were the only punishment inflicted upon the violators of the law at each session of the courts, little if any objection would be offered, as this part of the infliction is nothing compared to the whipping which immediately follows. The prisoner in this case is stripped of his shirt and coat, and, with his back exposed, his hands in iron cuffs, fastened with spikes, he leans forward hugging the post, as it were, while the sheriff applies the lash. The mark of the rawhide is plainly left on the culprit's back, who endeavors to bear up under it, but coming as it does in rapid succession and almost in the same spot, invariably he squirms and twists, as if to stay off the effects of it. When the last lash has been laid on the post gives a sigh of relief, as if a load had been lifted from his heart and mind. For cases of minor larceny the sentence of the court is not over 10 or 15; occasionally, however, when an old offender is arraigned before the court, he gets 20 or sometimes 30. The highest number ever given in Delaware was 60 lashes, but they were laid on lightly by the sheriff then in office. The order of the court used to be that a man should be whipped according to the gravity of his crime, to be either "well laid on" or "laid on light." This, however, is not observed here any more, but the sheriff uses his discretion in the applying of the lash, according to the enormity of the crime. Best for the Congregation. One of the strange infelicities which are sometimes found on gravestones in ancient churchyards seems to have been perpetrated in the inscription on the tablet erected in memory of the late Rev. Dr. John Hall, which has been placed in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church in New York. After giving the name and mortuary record of Dr. Hall, the inscription says: From Nov. 3, 1867, to Sept. 17, 1898. There Remainth, Therefore, a Rest to the People of God. If Dr. Hall could read it, he would not feel flattered. No man who had preached 49 years would like to have it said that the people enjoyed a rest after his departure to the skies.

This alcove will help to carry out the late Mr. Green's wish of making this library "the best 30,000 volumes for a university reference library in the world." SOMETHING NEW.

A novel form of traction wheel has been invented, having a series of tubes radiating from the central hub, with pistons inserted in the tubes and carrying at the outer ends pivoted T heads, which are surfaced with rubber and tilt to adjust themselves to the surface of the road. WHAT ONE WOMAN THINKS. Kindness is the secret of courtesy. A man is poor indeed who is poor in charity. Children behave when out as they behave at home.

It is no longer a puzzle as to who's got the button. Every smartly-gowned woman can solve it.

Because They Are More Affectionate and Tractable—Nothing Offensive in Their Odor or Voices. Gray wolves are the most favored domestic pets on the ranch of A. J. Bothwell on the Sweetwater river, Wyoming. The children romp with them fearlessly and have taught them many of the amusing tricks that earn applause in denser centers of civilization when performed by French poodles. There is never a thought of fear in the relationship. These wolves were captured as pups a year ago. They were only two weeks old and their blue eyes had not been open. From the sang den in which their wise old mamma was beginning their education they were dug out by human hands and carried off to the ranch. From the very first these wild foundlings exhibited lovable qualities. They repaid caresses and kind words with every demonstration of gratitude and gambled with their captors in a way that was irresistible. Like more civilized puppies, they had a tendency to chew shoes and slippers, drag tablecloths from their appointed places and dig holes in the most treasured flower beds, but they never attempted to bite their friends. As they grew bigger a playground was fenced in for them with stout wire netting. There to this day they disport themselves, quite contented in captivity so long as the children of the ranch frequently go in to play with them and teach them new tricks. They are grown up wolves now with all the strength of their species. They have the gleaming eyes, the great fangs, the blood red tongues, the speed and activity that have aroused the horror of mankind from Little Red Riding Hood's time to this; but the eyes gleam with fun, the fangs are shown only in mirth, the tongues beslaver the hands of those that are kind to them, the speed and activity are used in frolic. In a word, these great hounds of the forest have exerted all their doggish GRAY WOLVES AS PETS. gifta to prove that the wolf has from time immemorial suffered under the most unjust aspersions. When one sees a charming American girl in shirt waist and straw sombrera fondling a wolf big enough to bite her hand off, and a healthy western boy almost overwhelmed with the blandishments of wolves bigger than himself, one marvels at the verdict of Buffon, who wrote: "There is nothing good in the wolf. He has a base look, a savage aspect, a terrible voice, an insupportable smell, a nature brutal and ferocious, a body so foul that no animal or reptile will touch his flesh. It is only a wolf that can eat a wolf." But inter writers point out that when Buffon penned this diatribe he was in no mood for unbiased judgment, since his sheepfold had been visited by wolves and one of his captive cubs had wrought havoc in his menagerie. There is no one in Mr. Bothwell's ranch, infant or adult, what would not hasten to the defense of all the family of wolves against the attack of the learned but choleric naturalist. The allegations of a "base look" and "savage aspect" are disproved by the pictures here presented. These show expressions of greater availability than many domesticated breeds of dogs can show. The bulldog is an extreme case in point, but there are less ferocious looking dogs enjoying the friendship of mankind which lack the blandly smiling aspect of these wolves. As for the "terrible voice," the young people of the ranch testify that the efforts at conversation made by their pets are far more melodious than the baying of a St. Bernard or the yapping of a Yorkshire terrier. The "insupportable smell" is also a gross exaggeration. Mr. Bothwell's wolves have a "doggy" smell and nothing worse. A teacher of music in one of the public schools of the south desired to impress the pupils with the meaning of the signs "f" and "f" in a song they were about to sing. After explaining that "f" meant forte he said: "Now, children, if 'f' means forte, what does "f" mean?" Silence reigned for a moment and then he was astonished to hear a bright little fellow shout: "Eighty! Wisconsin's Little Me Paul Robinson, widely known for his small stature, died recently at the age of 70 years. He was about 40 inches high, but he was a capable business man. German Potatoes. In times of a scant crop in this country potatoes have been imported from Scotland, Ireland and Germany. Potatoes of a peculiar variety, which are used in making potato salad, are regularly imported from Germany in comparatively limited quantities, says the New York Sun. In American potatoes it is counted a desirable characteristic that they shall cook dry and mealy; just the opposite quality makes the so-called German potatoes prized for the purposes for which they are used; they cook oily or moist, cutting like some kinds of cheese. German potatoes are found on sale in some grocery and vegetable stores, and they are found in the form of potato salad in some delicatessen stores, and especially in German restaurants. The potatoes of this variety at their full growth are small in size; they cook much like the early new potatoes of the ordinary kinds; they cost here about twice as much as ordinary potatoes. About 15,000 bushels annually are imported. An Incident in the Philippines. An incident of campaigning in the Philippines, as related by James Doug, las, a Phillipsburgh soldier boy, says the Kansas City Journal: "During my first watch I wanted a chew of tobacco. I had to loosen my belt to get it, and so I set my rifle down. I had just taken a chew and fastened my belt, and was in the act of reaching for my rifle when I heard the report of a rifle and felt a stinging sensation along my right side. I dropped to the ground, and as I did so I saw a rebel in the act of taking any other bead at me. He fired and missed and then started to run, but I caught him on the go. The bullet hit him just at the nape of the neck and passed through his brain. His first shot took my 'first aid package' out of my right shirt pocket and just burned my side. I was scared, too. I can tell you." New Partridge. One would imagine that, with the modern facilities for traveling, the hunters had long ago discovered all the game birds and their haunts in every corner of the world. But, to the surprise of everybody, a brand new partridge has just turned up. It is called the Siberian partridge. It is found in the mountains of southern Siberia, although Manchuria is believed to be its real home. It feeds upon little wild nuts which give to its meat a peculiarly delicious flavor. The birds are killed in the winter, and, after a thorough freezing, they are packed and sent by rail to Liban to the Baltic. From there they are taken to London where they are sold for something less than a dollar a brace. As many as $30,000 brace have already reached the London market. Fox Farms. The fur of the blue fox has become so valuable of late years that "fox farms" now exist on some of the islands of the coast of Maine as well as on the Aleutian islands and the Pribilof islands of the Behring sea. One of the problems now confronting the fox ranchers is how to provide more abundant food for foxes in winter time. On the Aleutian islands they have been fed with dry salmon when other food gives out. They will even eat sea-urchins, searching for them on the beach at low tide—Youth's Companion. Parrets Are Natural Gymnasts Parrots Are Natural Gymnasts. The curious gymnastic feats which parrots sometimes perform in their enges have been ascribed to the desire of the birds to vary the monotony of their life in captivity. That was the opinion of Mrs. Maudsley, the wife of the Central American explorer, until she lived in the forest region near Copan, where she saw the parrots, in a state of perfect freedom, indulging in all the feats practiced by their caged cousins.

It Lasted 217 Days and Both Sides Are Said to Have Behaved Well—Col. Baden-Powell's Courage Rewarded at Last. Mafeking's remarkable siege and defense lasted just 217 days. The town and its story will furnish one of the most interesting episodes of the history of the war. Gatacre's reverses, Buller's failures and Kimberley's famous mines did not divert attention from the gallant defense made by the handful of men at Mafeking under the command of Col. Baden-Powell. The little half-British, half-Bechuana settlement in the north on the Transvaal border was in reality hardly worth the siege or the defense to either side. But it was attacked vigorously and defended valiantly. On October 12, only two days after the arrival in England of the Boer ultimatum, the burghers crossed the Transvaal border 40 miles south of the town and cut off railway and telegraph communication. From that time the people in the place were compelled to subsist upon the stock of provisions in Mafeking at the beginning of the war. Baden-Powell's scouts and runners brought news to the outer world occasionally telling of attacks and repulses, of the sufferings of the besieged and of hunger and sickness, but always with the word that the heroic commander could still hold out. Two days after the siege began the Boers opened an attack, thinking they could take the city at once. They met with a bewildering repulse which Baden-Powell described in the following message: "Fight Monday. All right." After this, the burghers settled down to a bombardment which lasted KHAIRUTI 341 DAYS SEBASTORI 3327 DAYS PARIS 167 DAYS HAFKING 217 DAYS KIRKSTY 252 DAYS PLEVNA 244 DAYS BARACOBA 62 DAYS LAWRENCE 66 DAYS SIEGE OF MAFEKING. (Diagram Shows Duration of Other Sieges Famous in History.) almost up to the very day when the town was reached by the relieving forces. After a few weeks of shelling and waiting a Boer messenger with a white flag approached the British works and asked for a surrender Baden-Powell was sleeping when the messenger arrived. He was awakened at once, and after giving the Boer an excellent luncheon he told him to return to Gen. Cronje. "Tell Cronje," said the undaunted colonel, "that when we have had enough we will send out to him and let him know." About this time Reuter's correspondent wrote: "Col. Baden-Powell is always smiling. When the people see him walking down the street whistling they take heart." After the return of their man the Boers were inactive for severa. weeks. Then the colonel sent them this message: "You can't take us by sitting down out there. Why don't you come in and get us?" This started up the bombarding again. Week after week the shells shrieked over Mafeking. The convent was hit, the hotel hurt a little, and the famous dog was killed, but no British. Early in the siege Baden-Powell's men made a few sorties and inflicted some damage with their bayonets. The children became so accustomed to shells that they watched for them to burst and then fought for possession of the fragments. On December 28 Mafeking prepared a sortie and carried death up to the very trenches of the enemy. Capts. Vernon and Sanford were killed and Lords Edward Cecil and Charles Cavendish Bentinck were wounded. On January 6 word came from Baden-Powell: "We are making up our minds to stick this out as long as need be, and have food for another three months." Col. Baden-Powell must have figured in his horses and mules as available food supply, for Mafeking had soon to begin dieting on that kind of fare. Toward the end of February, says the Chicago Times-Herald, the people of Mafeking began to feel the pinch of hunger, and to realize what a siege really means. On February 19 it was reported that the garrison had been placed on the shortest possible rations. By this time the besieged were growing accustomed to horse meat, and that, too, in small quantities. Everybody was fed, but nobody was surfeited. Then began several relief movements toward the town, with the chief and successful one marching from the south. The last attempt of the Boers to take Mafeking was made on May 12, when they were repulsed with severe loss. Check on Tardy Employees.

Somewhere, in a sheltered valley, Peace enfolded, calm and still, Lies a comely little village In the shadow of the hill. Whitened shines each little cottage, Like a pearl in emerald set, And the air is sweet with fragrance Of sweet peas and mignonette. And the sunlight loves to linger On each humble sanded floor, On each tiny latticed window, Loves to steal within each door; And the air is filled with music By the pleasant ceaseless flow 'O'er the rocky heights and shallows Of the brook just down below. How the trees delight their branches Tenderly to interlace, 'O'er the quant and straw-thatched roof- In that sweet and quiet place! And the people, men and women, Working faithfully for bread, Know the dignity of labor. They have time for life and loving. Time to feel; yes, time to pray; Kings and priests, each one his Maker Worships in a simple way. Happy peasants! happy valley! Would that I might offring give vain pride, and in such shelter Tremely safely live! Dear dream knight could but find it. There, methinks, when day was spent, I could pass from out life's knowing With a sweet and calm content. And by true hands gently carried I lay forward on the steep. There could I quiet Blissfully forever sleep. —Beatrice Clayton, in Philadelphia Public Ledger. By Bortha Gerneaux Woods. [From the Youth's Companion, by Permission.] It was a dry, stifling day on the prairie. The south wind blowing with hot, irritating persistency across the plains raised clouds of dust that almost hid the view from the woman at the window of the sod house. She could see only faintly the burnished golden cups of the prickly pear or the deep crimson of the pincushion cactus blossoms breaking the monotony of the brown stretch of land. The creamy hills on the yucca were dimmed with the dust of the plains. In the small, square sitting-room, although the windows were tightly shut, a gray coating lay on the furniture and mantel, on the row of rose geraniums and the little pot of heliotrope in the window. Hester Gilbert's lips were tightly compressed and there was a sad look in her eyes. That south wind was blotting out from her view more than the flower-dotted landscape. It seemed to dim all remembrance of the long days of perfect weather, when the prairie seemed an Eden, and strength and hope grew large with the fresh, bracing air. Some one came in with a heavy, weary step and stopped a moment on the threshold to look at the drooping figure. Then he approached her with awkward tenderness, laying his toll-roughened hand on her shoulder. "What's the matter, Hester?" he said, softly. There was a smothered weariness in the tones, but her cars seemed deaf that morning to anything but the wind's piercing voice. Half unconsciously she drew a little away from his hand. "It's everything," she said, "everything! Why did we ever come here, to such wretchedness as this?" He did not attempt another caress, except with his anxious blue eyes, and her face was turned away from them, hidden in her hands. He slipped something back into his pocket. Hester did not see the motion. It was only an Indian arrowhead that he had found half buried in the soil, and had unearthed, thinking it would make a pretty addition to her cabinet of curiosities. She was so tired now that she would not care for it; some other time, he thought. Her nerves were all quivering; it was always so when the south wind blew. "Hester," he began again, gently, "I've been thinking for several days—I don't know but we ought to fix it some way so you can go back east for awhile quite soon—sooner than we planned. You've had a hard time of it out here. I know how hard it's been, with the homesickness and all, and—" "No," she interrupted, "I can wait. We'll go together later, just as we planned all along. You couldn't manage it, John. Why, how could you?" "Oh, I'll get along some way—that'll be all right. I've been thinking I could spare a little of the stock, after all. You know Brown would be glad to buy what I could spare." He spoke bravely, and Hester smiled faintly up to him. In the depth of her heart she felt sure she would never consent to such a sacrifice. They would wait until they could take the long planned trip together, or not go at all. But just now, with the wind making her grate her teeth together, she did not protest. She was in the mood to enjoy the imaginary self-indulgence, re- gardless of what it would cost the one dearest to her. "We'll see," she said, briefly. "There's so much to think over first. But it's good of you John, to plan it so." She would have called after him and clung to him if she could have seen the look on his face as he went out—all the weariness of it, and the patience and the brave anticipation of the loneliness to come. In just a few minutes he was back at her side. "Hester," he said, rather anxiously, "what would you say to letting two people come in for a little rest? They restopped the wagon just a little way from here. She seems a childish young thing, and he looks as if the world had been too much for him—he's so thin and sickly-looking. What do you say to bringing them in?" "O John, how can we, when it's so hard to keep up as it is?" "He looks real sick and worn," repeated her husband; and that brought the response he knew it would. "Go ask them, then," said Heater. "If we can make it a little easier for them, we ought to, I suppose." "You come with me," coaxed John. "Go get on your hat, and we'll ask them together." She gave a slight protesting laugh, but went, nevertheless, clinging to his arm, and almost resting her face sometimes on his shoulder. "What a country!" she said, half under her breath. "Dust, dust, dust everywhere! You breathe it and taste it and get your eyes blinded by it!" They were very near the travelers now. The tired horses, with dejected, down-bent heads, were snatching what little rest they could. In the covered wagon sat the man and woman—such a hollow-checked, large-eyed man, and such a little slip of a wife! The hot wind flapped the canvas cover, and sent swirls of dust over the two occupants and their sexy possessions. That they were very scanty, indeed, Hester could not help seeing in the briefest glance. A dry, untempting lunch the wife was taking from a basket. Some of the self-pity that had darkened Hester's face all the morning faded out of it, and was replaced by a purer, nobler look. "You ask them, John," she said, softly. "They'll like it better from you," whispered her husband. The face of the little wife in the big wagon brightened visibly at her approach. "You must be tired out," Hester began, without preamble. "We want you to come up to the house for a little rest and to have dinner with us. Won't you?" A pleased smile breaking over the young face seemed almost to fade out the little worried line between the dark eyes. An answering gleam stole over the worn face at her side, but they both protested faintly. They couldn't give so much trouble; it would not be right. "You come right along!" said John, with kindly authority. "We want you, so don't make any fuss about it. We'll take the horses into my barn; let 'em try my feed and a good bucket of my well water." The two men went off together, Hester and the little wife beating their way back to the sod house. A look of cheer and comfort seemed to be in its brown walls now. "How good it will need to rest in a house!" said the little wife, with a happy sigh. "Wouldn't you like to lie down a little while till dinner is ready?" said Hester. "Come right into my room, and just feel that you are at home." A protecting kindliness had sprung up in her heart for this little creature with the appealing eyes. "You must be so hot and uncomfortable! There's cold water in that pitcher, and I'll bring you some warm. No, it isn't a bit of trouble. Then you must just rest until dinner." Unpleasant thoughts were far away as Hester prepared the simple dinner, trying to make it as attractive as possible. She would get out some of her wedding china—why not? John would enjoy it, and it might make a bright spot in the day for the strangers. She even picked a bunch of astragalus, making a centerpiece of the white, furry leaves. A sprig of wild geranium was laid at each plate. There were cheery faces around the table, and Hester's was not less bright than the others. The gaunt stranger sat a little more erect now, and his face, after even this brief rest, seemed less sharply outlined. The warm, human kindness as well as the outward comfort had wrought the change, and in some way made it easier to remember in Whose larger protecting care they were, and would still be when rolling over the brown prairie. Bit by bit their story came out. The man told how he had been a carpenter and builder in Iowa; what a happy little home it had been, and why they were flying now to the untried world of Colorado, that Mecca for consumptives. The gaunt man and the young wife avoided the dread word; they said, instead, "people with any sort of lung trouble." Hester's dish of canned wild plums seemed to meet with special favor from the gaunt man. He accepted the pressing offer for a third saucerful with an apologetic laugh, and Hester mentally schemed to convey a generous supply to the canvas-covered wagon. "I don't know when George has enjoyed anything so," said the little wife. "Everything is so good! And oh, how nice it feels to be rested! Traveling wil be so much easier now!" They went back to the sitting-room. John and Hester talked cheerily of the prospective home in Colorado, and brought out a book of views of the wonderful scenery. The gaunt man and his little wife bent over them with keen interest. "It'll be a great move for us," he said. "It seemed to be the only thing for us to do, and I'm glad we're so near there. I feel more heartened up to-day than any time since we started. We won't forget your kindness, I can tell you." "Oh, pshaw!" said John, and "Don't speak of it!" said Hester, in a breath. "It's been so pleasant for us to have you!" It was necessary to take up the journey again. The two men went out to the barn together. THE BICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA The eyes of the little wife sought Hester's. "You have been so good," she said, almost in a whisper, "so good to take us in! This awful dust and the heat! I wouldn't have minded them so much for myself, but it has been so bad for him. It makes the cough worse, and that always frightens me. Sometimes when we have been going so slowly the horses have just seemed to creep, and when the dust has almost seemed to choke him, I have felt as if I should go frantic! All these days that we have been on the way I have longing so to reach Colorado. I have felt as if I couldn't wait, when the waiting might mean everything to him, and it has been so hard, so almost impossible, to keep cheerful before him! That is always very hard, don't you think so? When your life is all wrapped up in somebody else's, to keep that one from feeling how you suffer? And of course if they knew, that would make it all so much worse." The Reign of Lawlessness THE TREE How the poor young thing was emptying her heart out! It was as if all the grief and anxiety of the days in the covered wagon, rolling over the brown plains, had burst its bounds, and must pour itself out to this listener. "I wanted you to know," the excited little voice ran on, "how kind you have been—what a comfort it has been to me! Don't you see how much less tired he looks? And he hasn't coughed near so much, not near! You have cheered us up, too. It has been so strange—all this journey—every day taking her farther away from home, and the trying to choke down the hoosickness—and—" She broke off short, with gratitude and tears shining in her eyes. Number of Persons Lyncked from January 5th. There was just time for Hester to take the little brown hand in hers and press it close, when the two men came back. The man with stooping shoulders and the flush on either cheek went up close to the little woman with the bright, eager eyes. "Well, little woman, are you 'most ready?' he said, patting her shoulder. "You've had a fine rest, haven't you?" He coughed sharply as he spoke, but she smiled up at him brightly that he might not know how much more it racked her chest than his. "You'd better get on your bonnet, little woman," he said; "it's time we were going. I don't know how we're to thank you and your wife, Mr. Gilbert, for all you've done for us, but we feel it, sir, we feel it." "It wasn't anything at all!" John protested. "It has done us good to have you here." Hester and the little young wife went into the tiny bedroom together. The wind had stopped its maddening song outside, and the air was clear again from its burden of dust. The furniture would have to be dusted for the third time that day, but the thought brought no scowl to her forehead now. The little traveler pinned on the rusty black hat, and turned to hold out both hands impulsively to Hester. "Thank you again," she said; and then, in a whisper: "Colorado is a wonderful place, isn't it? Haven't you heard about the way people get cured there—people just as bad off as George, or worse? You feel sure it'll do him good, don't you?" She searched Hester's face as if to read her fate there. It was hard to meet the girlish eyes. "I've never been farther west than this myself," she said, "but everyone says it's a wonderful climate in Colorado for people with trouble with their lungs. I'm so glad you're going there, and when he's grown well and strong, you'll be coming back this way to see us." The delight of that possible future was in the young wife's eyes. "If he only does!" she said. "Oh, if he only does!" There were hearty hand-clasps exchanged a few minutes later. Then the "prairie schooner," with its freight of human love and anxieties, rolled slowly away. The two left behind in the little sod house stood long at the window—till the wagon was seen, a dark blot, above the sharp horizon. With a quick, impulsive movement Hester's hand stole into her husband's. "How good you are!" she said, almost solemnly. "And while I have you, what do I care about other things? Did you think I would really go east without you? Why, John, I couldn't bear it, away from you!" Far off in the big wagon a little woman sat with her round cheek pressed against a shabby coat-sleeve, and the cry of her heart was like that of Hester's. "What are other things," she was whispering, "while I have you, dear?" The Giraffe's Timidity A giraffe is very timid on hearing slight sounds, but is indifferent to loud ones. A writer in the Leisure Hour says: Noisy sounds, like a man walking with hobnail boots, it does not notice; but a lady coming in with hardly more sound than the rustling of her dress makes it start, with pricked ears and eyes distended. We remember well, after a terrible explosion of gunpowder on a barge on the canal, asking the keeper of the giraffes of that day how they had taken it, and he said he was surprised how very little notice they took; they jumped to their feet, but almost at once lay down again, when they found nothing happened. "But," he added, "if I were at night time to creep along that gallery in my socks, they would be so scared that I believe they would dash themselves to bits." They fear the lurking foe, and a big bang scares them less than a faint, rustling sound. They are in that respect very deer-like. Too Common.

SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1900 We cannot afford to be discouraged We must struggle onward. THE Democratic Party is antagonistic and the Republican Party indifferent to our interests. COLORED men should save their money and engage in business. This is the only way to succeed. THE Filipinos are about the liviest dead people Uncle Sam ever came across. The great question is how to let them go, without showing that he was forced to do it. THE CHANCES Hon. WILLIAM J. BRYAN has been nominated for the presidency of the United States and around his standard will rally all of the discordant elements of the country. Can he be elected? If he is elected what will be his attitude and that of his party in dealing with great questions now confronting the colored people of this country? Will he consult only great principles and ignore petty prejudices or will he yield and join the multitudes of his party in their denunciation of the colored people? There is one powerful force which must be considered in the settlement of the contest. Can the business interests of the country afford to permit the Democracy of the nation to triumph without any effort to defeat it? Will its influence be thrown on the side of Mr. McKINLEY or on the side of Mr. BRYAN, or will it remain indifferent? Of course, viewed from a reasonable standpoint, it would seem that Mr. McKINLEY is as good as elected. He has the United treasury practically at his disposal and his gifts of patronage have been practically unlimited. Moreover, the trusts and the combines between him and Mr. BRYAN would accept him every time. These are the vital questions and yet it is beginning to be realized that INDIANA may go against the Republican nominee, but New York will undoubtedly be held in line for him. ILINOIS has rarely deserted the Republicans in a presidential year and Ohio is as safe as Pennsylvania under similar circumstances. The passage of of the unconstitutional constitutional convention propositions for the purpose of disfranchising the colored voter and the enactment of humiliating "Jim Crow" Car legislation reinforced by the demand for the repeal of the 15th Amendment will keep even the independent colored vote nearer to the Republican Party than to the Democratic even though it may desire to roam in the field of political independence. It is evident that with shrewd management and a consultation of great principles, Mr. BRYAN could be landed in the White House of the nation this year. He is frittering away his chances however and we shall see the blunders o' the past repeated and the Republics in all probability successful at the polls. THE "JIM OROW" OAR The "Jim Crow" Car law went into effect on Sunday last, and all of the railroads provided separate cars or compartments for colored and white passengers and thus emphasized again the fact that the Negro-hating contingent in this state will have its way in any matter which may be presumed to carry with it the humiliation of the citizen of color. However, the effect of the change has been anything but comfortable for the white people of this common wealth. The experience of other states south of us has been duplicated here. The accommodations upon all of the great railroad lines are separate but equal. A few colored people could be seen occupying a whole car to themselves while their white neighbors were crowded together like "sardines in a box." Our people need not be discouraged. All radical movements on the part of the Negro haters have finally redounded to our benefit. We must continue to respect ourselves and frown upon those classes amongst us who seem to have not as yet learned of culture or ever been introduced to good manners. We can win our way in this country. We can save money here despite the persecution. We withstood two hundred and fifty years of galling slavery and came out of it stronger for the test. We are multiplying both in numbers and finance. Our progress has been phenomenal, and while we may not get all of our rights at once, we are on the road, to the place where they may be ultimately secured. It has been gratifying to note that pride existent in the Negro, which says to a white Negro-hater, "If you do not desire my company, I can assure you that I have no wish for yours." However, this spirit of separation is going further and colored and white people are asking, "Why should we have white teachers in colred schools? Why should the white hotels be allowed to bar out colored patrons, instead of providing separate accommodations for them? Why should they commingle in the stores and why should not equal, but separate arrangements be made for the two races?" But one of the most prominent characteristics of a race prejudiced person is inconsistency. The colored people of the state have decided to yield an unwilling acquiescence to the law and those who expected trouble find themselves keenly disappointed. We are a law abiding people. THE TIMES AND THE SEPARATION THE Richmond, Va., TIMES in its issue of the 4:h inst., says: "The separate car act went into effect on July 1st, and reports from all sections are that the law is working admirably well. The colored people have opened their eyes to the fact, which this paper so often asserted last winter while the bill was pending, that the law is not designed to humiliate or inconvenience the m. It is provided that each race shall have the same accommodations and the blacks are as much protected against the presence of disagreeable whites as the whites are protected in their apartments against the presence of disagreeable blacks." While admitting that our contemporary is making a fair statement of the proposition, we nevertheless cannot agree that the great majority of the white people who clamored for this pernicious measure did not do so for the purpose of humiliating and inconveniencing the colored people. They made a virtue of a necessity and gave us equal accommodations because the Supreme Court of the United States had decreed that it should do so. Who believes that this Negro-hating element would have hesitated to place us in the smoking cars if they could have done so? Who doubts that the railroad companies would have accepted such a proposition and thus save themselves unncessary expense? To tell the whole truth, after such an agitation of the subject, and the opposition to it on the part of the better class of white people, these Negro-haters became ashamed of their work and the companies proceeded to comply strictly with the law. For this they deserve credit. It is a notorious fact that in states south of us the accommodations are not equal. The TIMES is unusually fair when it remarks: "There is something to be said on both sides of this question. Every now and then it has happened that black passengers of bad manners have made themselves offensive to white passengers on railroad trains, but it is equally true that white people of bad manners have made themselves offensive to respectable colored people." Oh, if the Times and its multitude of Negro-haters would always state the case as fairly as it has done in this instance. We cannot however accept the following statement as conveying an idea of the true conditions: "Hereafter there will be better order on our railroad trans, for ill-mannered whites will behave better when they are in a car with people of their own race only, and ill-mannered blacks will behave better when they are in a car with respectable people of their race." THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. A thug, disrespectable character or drunken sot, so a rule has no respect of persons unless that person is clad in the habiliments of a police-offiser and armed with a revolver or a shot-gun. Our point is that all discriminations whether equal or unequal, that are based upon race, color or previous conditions of servitude are repugnant to the XIVth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. We can see where the discrimination can be based upon behaviour, but it should apply to the white as well as to the colored and vice versa. In other words the self-respecting well-behaved white and colored people should make common cause against the other element of both races. This separation "business" is causing a people whose interests are identical to drift apart and misunderstand each other. This gives the white and colored demagogues the opportunity to get in their work and the whole people suffer. No, this "Jim Crow" Car measure is a temporary expedient, soothing the feelings of one element at the expense of the other; but causing the increasing of the friction which in time will aggravate the trouble and bring to the front new economy and racial ailments which will be far more serious than those which we have vainly attempted to cure. The right way is the best way, and the Golden Rule holds as good to-day as it did when it was preached to the law-givers of Israel by the lowly Nazareth. FROM HARTFORD Rev.

BERYAN'S POSITIVE DECLARATION While the Democratic Presidential Candidate Will Take No Hand in the Vice Presidential Contest, His State Delegation Favors Towne. Kansas City, July 3.—The vice presidential situation has not cleared up, and this morning it is apparently in as much doubt as it was when the delegates to the national Democratic convention were elected. There was a hitting of the scene yesterday when Bendon, N. Shively, of Indiana, was taken out of the race by his emphatic statement to the Indiana delegation. Not only the Indiana men, but other delegates in the city accepted the statement of Mr. Shively, and he is now considered a probability in the race. As the contest stands after Shively's retirement the two leading candidates seem to be Col. Towne and William DAVID B. HILL. Sulzer, with some man from New York, like Judge Van Wyck or Elliot Danforth, as a possibility under certain contingencies. Maryland will present the name of Governor John Walter Smith in case of a deadlock on the vice presidency. Ex-Senator Hill returned from Lincoln yesterday, and it may be said that his return did not cause as great a sensation as did his departure. The mysterious silence which he maintained and which he explained by saying that "Mr. Bryan and myself agree that nothing should be said regarding the conference between us," did not serve to whet the political appetite very much. It is generally understood that, though summoned to Lincoln by Mr. Bryan, the New Yorker made no impression on the national leader as to a modified platform. Indeed, this is emphasized by Mr. Bryan himself in a speech to Colorado delegates. There has been much talk about a letter said to have been sent to Mr. Bryan, signed by national party leaders, urging him to agree to an elimination of a specific 16 to 1 plank, but if such effort has been made it will be futile. In a speech delivered to Colorado delegates who visited him at his home in Lincoln yesterday Mr. Bryan emphasized his position on the money question in a brief speech in which he said: "I want to say to you that when Colorado forsakes the principle of 16 to 1, and when the people have ceased M. CONGRESSMAN SULZER In their support of the principle, I will be found still fighting, even though alone. There is one great principle to be fought for in the coming campaign, and that is whether or not the dollar shall be placed above the man. Whenever man and the dollar come in conflict the Republican party stands for the dollars first, the Democrat stands for the man. Where there was one reason in 1896 for carrying Colorado for the Democratic ticket there are sixteen reasons now." The arrival of the Nebraska delegation, fresh from conference with their leader, was mainly instrumental in showing Mr. Bryan's attitude. They were hardly off the cars before they met in caucus and formally put forward a declaration of principles. This expressed "unalterable opposition to any surrender of the principle of bi-metalism and a demand for a financial plank making a specific pledge for the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, independently of what any other nation may do." When James Dahlman, the next national committeman from Nebraska and a close friend of Mr. Bryan, was asked if Bryan was for Towne he said: "I have talked with Mr. Bryan recently and I think his attitude could be summed up in about this way. He is not favoring any candidate. He wants us not to make our wishes too prominent, as it will look as though this reflected his views, whereas he wants to keep entirely out of the vice presidential contest. But we feel that we should express ourselves for Towne, who is a favorite with most of the delegates, and our work will be for him." Mr. Dahlman also gave definite assurance of a dramatic climax to the nomination of Mr. Bryan by his appearance on the floor of the convention, for a speech that will electrify the convention and serve as a campaign keynote. Marlboro, Md., July 3.—Yesterday the local train from Washington, on the Chesapeake Beach railroad, collided at Pushow, near Chesapeake Beach, with the west bound express. Engineer Francis E. Maler and Fireman Charles Zier, of Nottingham, of the local train, were killed. Engineer Richard Shouster and Fireman John Hurd, of the express, saved their lives by jumping. The accident was caused by a misunderstanding of the schedule which went into effect Sunday. HARTONA The Grandest of all Preparations for the Hain! BEFORE USING HARTONA. AFTER USING HARTONA.

No trouble is reported on any of the lines centering in this city. Charleston, W. Va., June 29—John Fadeley and Oscar Dennis, two young men, were given a hearing today before Justice Gallagher on a charge of disturbing the public. Fadeley was sent to jail for 60 days and fined for firing a pistol, and Dennis was fined for being implicated. The affair occurred on Wednesday night near the Baltimore and Ohio depot. Huntington, W. Va., June 28.—At a meeting of the executive board Prof. D. W. Shaw, of Philippi, W. Va., was elected president of Barboursville college, to succeed Rev. S. F. McClung, who resigned. Prof. Shaw is an educator of extensive experience. He served several terms in the state legislature and was once speaker of the house. He recently resigned as superintendent of the State Reform school at Pruntytown, where he had charge for several years. Knoxville, June 27.—Of 16 of Tennessee's 24 delegates to the Kansas City convention polled by Tha Sentinel, nine express themselves unqualified for Hill; two more are for Hill, with reservations; four are for "a man who can carry New York" and one for a man "on whom New York and Indiana unite"; one is for the strongest man in full accord with the platform." No delegate expressed himself specifically in favor of any other candidate than Hill. Richmond, June 28.—Last night burglaries made an unsuccessful attempt to break into the Farmers' bank at Martinsville, Henry county. They were attempting to pick a lock of the back door when the watchman discovered them and shot at the party. The robbers left a considerable quantity of dynamite and a straw hat behind them. The latter may be the means of identifying the robbers. The sheriff says, however, it is useless to follow up the gang, as Governor Tyler has declared he has no money in his contingent fund with which to bring back fugitives. Roanoke, Va., June 28.—A special from Wise Court House says William Queen, King Montgomery, Joseph White, Alfred Howding, James Powell and Bumb Hazlewood, the six men charged with robbery of Norfolk and Western cars at Toms Creek and Coeburn, Va., were tried at Wise Court House and all sent to the penitentiary. Queen was given 15 years; Powell, White and Montgomery 5 years each, Howington 3 years and Hazlewood 2 years. Forty-one indictments were made against these men, and they will likely be brought back after serving 909 East Main Street, RICHMOND, VA ms and tried on the nents. Norfolk, June 23.—A switch engine backing out at high speed met in the auburbs an incoming express from Virginia Beach, which was making nearly 50 miles an hour. The two came together with an awful crash, causing consternation among the hundreds of passengers on the express train and killing Fireman Savage, of the freight engine. Savage's body was frightfully mangled. Engineer Quillen, of the freight, and Engineer Purcell, of the passenger engine, jumped, and although hurt they will recover. Quillen was ordered to run behind an outgoing passenger train. He mlsunderstood his orders, went ahead of time and forgot about the passenger train. Warrenton, W. Va., June 29—It is reported here that Rev. W. D. White, of late years a resident of Staunton, but formerly of this county, and a son of the late Rev. Robert White, of Prince William county, mysteriously disappeared from his boarding house in Alexandria Saturday, April 14, 1900, after the adjournment of the Chesspeake presbytery, of which he was a member, that nothing has been heard of him since and that his whereabouts are unknown. Grave fears are felt, it is said, for his safety, and a greater effort will be made by his relatives and friends to solve the mystery that Las already deepened on account of the long lapse of time. When he left he stated that he would return two days later—the 16th. Charleston, W. Va., June 23—This morning Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Detective Miller, assisted by two officers of this city, found and arrested 15 hobos while in the act of eating breakfast in their camp on the South Side.

A description of the alleged safe blowers followed, and in order to make it sure the whole camp was arrested. The hobos are in the city jail here and will remain there until Chief Tyree comes and identifies those he wants, if any such be among the squad. Miller is confident at least five of the men are wanted for the job. Newport News, Va., July 1.—The month of June, which closed yesterday, in spite of certain adverse conditions broke all previous records at this port in several respects. Not only were the exports about $350,000 ahead of those of June, 1899, but the imports were considerably in excess of those of last month, which was, prior to June, the largest in the city's history in this respect. This June's imports are more than double those of the same month a year ago. Both the exports and imports, however, would have been considerably larger had it not been for the strike of the 'longshoremen in Liverpool, which delayed several of the vessels coming to this port several weeks, Exports for the month amount to $2,755,036, as against $2,402,535 for June, 1899. Last week there was shipped from this port 51,429 bushels of corn; 70,000 bushels of oats, 19,819 barrels of flour and 428 barrels of meal. Commandant Botha, Out on Ball.

Three Hundred Dead in a River t Front Conflagration, .. FIVE OCEAN STEAMERS BURNED ‘Ten Millions—Inhumanity of Tag- Bont Men, Who Wanted salvage. Hoboken, N. J., July 3.—fFire which swept the river front Saturday night caused the loss of probably 200 lives and the destruction of five ocean steamers and a third of a mile of wharves, piers and warehouses. The money Joss will foot up close to $10, 000,000. The terrible loss of life was Accompanied by scenes of horror. Many Seeking to escape the more terrible death were drowned in. the tiver. Scores perished miserably bel6w the decks of the doomed vessels, where they were trapped without moans of escape. At the portholes of the burn- ing Saale appeared white faces, with death creeping slowly on as the craft Settled and the water blotted them out while fire raged about them. So swiftly and awful was the sweep of the flames that hundreds were pen- ned upon the piers and had to leap for life into the river and. take chances of being picked up. The burned steamships ‘were the Saale, the Bremen and the Matn, of {he North German Ziovd line, andthe Pennsylvania and Phoenicia, e Hamburg-American line. The flames were discovered by a watchman among a large pile of cot- ton bales on Pier 2, of the North Ger man Lioyd’s Steamship company, where the Saale was docked. They spread with such remarkably rapidity that in 5 minutes the entire property of the company, taking in over a third of a mile of water front, and consisting of three great piers, was completely en- veloped in a huge blaze. ‘The fireboat Robert A. Van Wyck, which arrived on the scene first among the river fire fighters, presented a Picture of horror and ghastliness as she lay at her dock in the ast river yesterday. ‘The decks were cove With cotton, saturated with the blood ef the victims rescued by the brave men aboard. The firemen were at work cleaning the boat and picking Up the stained remnants of clothing which were torn from the burning Bodies as they were pulled aboard the fireboat from the pit of the fire. Pieces of human skin clung to the scarlet Tags, and the dreadful experience of the ‘firemen of the day previous was Bronght again to eyes and memories which sought to forget the horrible spectacle. “Lieut. McGinnis said: “I should say there were passen- Kers uboard the Sale. ‘They tooked Uke passengers, and surely were not members of the crew. They were locked down in the hold of the vessel a8 securely as ever a convict was im- prisoned in a cell. ‘There wa no es- cape for them after the vessel began to take water. We got about 30 out of there while we were allowed to work from the decks. It was then we witnessed the awful elghts of human agony. “A hundred arms, with the flesh torn from them, and blackened with burns, protruded from the small port holes, which were but a foot or Tess in diameter. If those port holes had been larger, sufficient to admit the Passage of a human body, the rescues would have been many more in nume ber than they were. ‘The 30 men we Fescued were raving maniacs when Re fot them aboard. They could not Fealize they had escaped the horrible death that threatened them but a few minutes before. In their delirium they fought each other after they were Fescued. ‘They wera as black as coal, and their burnt and charred flesh peel: d off with their clothing. “The most agonizing sight I witness- ed was that of a woman who was burned. We could see her face and arms as she reached out and got & handful of water, with which she washes her face, ‘seeking to cool it and gain relief from the terrible heat, She never onco uttered a scream. We Passed her a cup of water. She grab- bed it eagerly and drank {t. She could Rot speak English, but murmured in 8 foreign tongue and in a tone which apparently denoted she was praying. We spoke words of cheer to her. The Boat gave a lurch, water filled the compartment which she was {n, and she sank from our sight and wo saw her no more."" Through the port holes of the Saale, only a foot in diameter, people on other boats who had put out in the hope of Tendering assistance talked with many of the imprisoned ones until they sank back in the flames. Christian Guenther, one of sixteen men who.passed almost unharmed through eight hours of torture in the Main, says that the first he and the coal passers in the lower hold knew of the trouble was when coal falled to come down the chute. it had been pouring down from a canal boat, "Af. ter waiting for some time for more coal to come one of them crawled into the chute to see what the trouble was, and dropped back to report that there Was flame all about the outside of the ship, Then the rush for the exits took place. There was no way of getting out, and they retreated as the fire de. scended toward them, back to the lowest tier of coal bunkers. ‘Thelt Fefuge proved a good one. Here they rematned for almost eight hours, while the fire raged over them, plates above their heads being so hot the men could Rot touch them with thelr hands: When the men were taken out one man had bis eyes burned out by the in- tense heat, and two were temporarily mado insane. Sevanty-seven bodies of victims of the awful fire have been Tecovered. ee *wiul fire have been recovered 4\3 Bisnce of humanity. And the halt ‘has not yet been toid, as all the bodies which were brought to the surface yesterday were caught on grappling hooks. “About the first of next week people will realize the appalling loss of life, as it will then be time for the bodies that are now lying at the bot- tom of the river to come to the surface of the water on their own accord. Of the recovered dead 31 have been tine Positively or partly identified, most them, 90 far as have been discovered, being victims from the steamship Saale. Among the victims are Capt. Mirow and First Officer Busch, of the Saale. ‘Those who will undoubtedly swell the list of dead are the 240 odd men from the steamships, including of- ficers, sub-officers, seamen, ollers, ma- ebinists, coal passers and trimmers, the greater loss of course being among the men who were below decks and could not get to the open before the flames choked them back and the heavy falling debris beat them down to their death. Of these the greater part are foreigners. Then, too, there are some 35 people who were on canal boats, lighters and about the docks in varlous capacities. ‘The Main and the Bremen lie in 28 feet of water a quarter of a mile out from the Communipaw ward of Jer- sey City. No bodies have been recov- ered from these vessels, anf should any dead be found the bodies will be be- yond recognition. ‘This applies more to the Main than to the Bremen, as the former is nothing but a mass of twist- ed fron. That the Main is damaged beyond redemption is the concensus of opinion of not only wrecking ex- perts, but also the opinion of Capt, Peterson, of the Main. The ship is now nothing but a redhot hulk. Rumors exist among the wreckers that four or five bodies were thought to be in the steward’s quarters of the Main, but a glance through the super- heated gas and steam exhibited only several berths full of white ash, and until further investigation is made pos- sible by the cooling of the ship nothing can be said as to whether the ashes are those of men or the remains of beds and clothing. It is estimated that the Temains of not more than 20 persons ure board the Main, and should there be a hundred, or even more, {t {s cer- tain none will ever be identified, or -even the exact number known, Second Officer Sander, of the Saale, said this morning that ‘several of the officers of the steamships would issue & signed and sworn statement that the captains of the tugboats did not do all in their power to help the ships that Were lying in their docks. His ship had been cut loose from the pier, and he and another officer stood at the stern of the ship with men ready to man lines of tugboats. He said they shouted to the tugboat captains, a number of whom were close under his ship, but that no response was made, the tugs simply lying by until they gould get near enough to the great Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse to render enough assistance to claim salvage.

This announcement to the house of commons by William St, John Brod- rick, under secretary of state for for- eign affairs, was recelyed with ex- clamations of astonishment and dis- may. Mr. Brodrick read the dispatches re- ceived yesterday and said the total allied force available is now about 13,000, as troops have been rapidly ar- riying, adding: “We do not yet know what arrange- ments have been made locally regard- ing the command of an expedition, but it has not yet been thought possible to attempt a further advance. The consuls have been in communication ‘With the viceroys in the Yang Tee re- gion, and they are quite aware that ‘support will be given them by her ma- Jesty’s government in preserving or- der. It is obviously impossible that the representatives of the powers at Pekin should be consulted, as no com- munications are passing with them.” “The situation s desperate. Hasten.” ‘These words from the message of Von Bergen, a member of the German le- gation at Pekin, countersignea by Sir Robert Hart, inspector general of cus- toms, and dated nine days ago, are the theme of all private comment. They ‘aan sammeteee Quart manion me Qobem took 7 = fy : x) vA we BS A tragedy. Nine days ago the ammunt- tion of the little garrison defending the foreigners was running low, and their food was nearly exhausted, while around them was a horde of Kan-Su braves having at their service Krupp guns and repeating rifles. Pekin was in the hands of the revolutionaries. While nothing but sinister news comes from northern China, southern China is seemingly breaking away from the empire. All the provinces south of the Yellow river whose vice- Toys and governors maintain friendly relations with the powers through the consuls have been informally consti- tuted Into a confederacy, with Nankin as the capital. According to an express cable from Shanghai, dated July 2, the southern viceroys wholly disavow Prince Tuan’s government. They have practically constituted an independent state, ex- tending from the Hoang-Ho to. the British and French frontiers. Little else to flluminate the profound ob- scurity of the situation reaches cable points, The Chinese wires at Chefoo ‘appear to be interrupted. ‘The powers look more and more to Japan to supply the force necessary to grapple with the formidable rebel- Hon. The United ‘States govetument has from the outset accorded Japan a free hand, as Japan alone is prepared to throw into China as many troops as may be needed. ROBT. FORRESTER, _ FLORIST, 215 E.

When Her Stingy Lesser Half Refused to Make Her an Allowance She Raised Money by Pawning All His Valuables. "I know a woman," sadi a man of large acquaintance to a Detroit Free Press reporter, "who had a husband of a kind which I honestly believe is in the very largest minority among husbands, and I am glad to say that he is, or was, because he is now dead. She was good looking, and loved all the better things of life, and he was neither young nor good looking, but he had a bushel of money. I am sorry to say, too, that if he had not been rich the woman would not have married him. But that is neither here nor there, and we can't always blame women who marry men for their money. Notwithstanding this chap had plenty of money he was mean with his wife and gave her just as little as he could possibly let go of. They had a good social position, and he was compelled to spend something extra on her, but he did it grudgingly, though he had a fine wardrobe and expensive jewelry himself. It wasn't so much that he was stingy as that he just wanted to beugly with his wife. "Well, one day she evened up with him in fine style. She had been invited to a house party, and it was necessary for her to have some new dresses, and she figured on $1,000 worth as about right, and told him of it. He refused fatly to permit any such expenditure. She simply told him he would have to do it, and she went off and ordered what she wanted. They were to be done on the Thursday day of her departure, and she so notified her husband on the evening of the day she gave the order. Each morning thereafter she sent for him to come to her room before he went downtown to business and told him she expected a check for $1,000 on Thursday morning, and each time he told her to go to the hot place, or words to that effect. He did the same on the morning the goods were to be delivered and paid for, and as soon as he had left the house she WHAT SHE HAD TO OFFER sent out for a furniture van, and into that she had the servants put all her husband's clothes and other effects, and sent the load to a pawn shop of high respectability. She followed it there with his jewelry in a hand bag and had the whole lot piled up on the floor of the shop. "I want $1,000 on that," she said, briefly, to the astonished pawnbroker, and he demurred because, as he assured her, he never loaned money on clothes. She told him he might think differently when he had looked the lot over, and when she told him who she was, he concluded to look the lot over. The result of the negotiation was $1,600 in money and a pawn ticket, and she was ready to pay the bills when the dresses came. That afternoon she went away merrily to the house party, but before she left she wrote a pretty little note to her husband inclosing the ticket. She came home after a pleasant week in the country, and her husband never said a word to her about the ticket. Never a word, but she noticed that during her absence he had had burglar proof locks put on all his closets. Now that was the kind of a woman that kind of a man should have for a wife, wasn't it?" Precious Stones in Alaska. A recent traveler says in a Washington interview that such scientific men as have examined the sand of the Alaska district, or the chance specimens of it that came their way, unite in perhaps some other precious stones, might to be found in it. Of course, there are two good reasons why thus far they have not been found. The first is that they have not been sought, and the second is that if found by chance there is probably not a man in the country who would know a diamond in the rough. But the answer to the riddle is already at hand. The traveler in question says that when his party goes back this season he will take along a diamond expert and begin a careful and systematic search for the gems. He Expected to Ride Free. One of the companies whose steam-boats ply on the great lakes has a standing rule that clergymen and Indians may travel on its boats half fare. A short time ago an agent of the line was approached by an Indian preacher from Canada, who asked for free transportation on the ground that he was entitled to one-half rebate because he was an Indian, and the other half because he was a clergyman. Was a Notable Event. George Croal, still in Edinburgh, was present at the annual theatrical fund dinner in 1887, when Sir Walter Scott proclaimed himself the author of "Waverley." He distinctly remembers the great enthusiasm aroused on that occasion. SPRINKLER WAS LEAKING. Dennis Maloney Tried to Stop It and Got a Drenching Which He Will Never Forget. Dennis Maloney was most profuse in his apologies when he appeared before Justice Dooley in the Maxwell street police court at Chicago charged with disorderly conduct. Maloney got into trouble because he sought to do a favor. He received information in the morning that his opportunities for securing a city job were good. The news sent joy into his heart and he celebrated the good fortune the entire day. His mind, he says, was rather hazy when he started for home near Raf- MALONEY GETS A DRENCHING ferty's cabbage patch in Bridgeport. A sprinkling wagon was rumbling along Halsted street, hundreds of tiny streams being sprinkled on the dirt-covered street. Maloney thought the big wooden tank was leaking, Waving his arms and shouting loudly in a rich Celtic tongue, he ran after the vehicle and ordered the driver, Emil Weisman, to stop. "Irish, vat you want?" inquired Weisman as he brought his horses to a stop. "Vat't the reason about it?" "Sure, ye blackguard," answered Maloney, "yez be losin' all the water yez have in the tub." "Och, Irish, such a fool you vos," answered Weisman. "Don't make monkey business out of me. I don't like it." "Don't yez call me between me name," answered Maloney. "Oi tells yez again that the tub is leakin', and that yez are losin' all de water therein." The driver of the sprinkling wagon gave a look of pity, and, tapping his head significantly, informed Mr. Maloney that his wheels were in need of oiling. "Does yez mane ter insinuate that Oi have wheels within me head?" inquired Maloney. "Sure," answered Weisman. "I leaf it to anybody. I can see them turning around mineself." The subject of the German emperor then dropped a lever and started his horses forward, streams of water rushing forth from the many exits, and Maloney was given a drenching. Then he wanted to fight everything and everybody. A policeman came along and Maloney was taken to the police station. To Justice Dooley he explained that his mind was a blank as to the happenings of the day of the celebration, but, promising to sign a pledge and celebrate no more, he was permitted to go his way. CAT IN CASH DRAWER. Tiny Kitten Creates Consistration and Superstitious Alarm in a Chicago Police Station. A diminutive kitten of the "tiger" variety kept the Stanton Avenue (Chicago) police station in a turmoil throughout one night, and the men on duty in the building were kept in a nervous state of by strange noises GAVE A YELL AND TURNED BLUE that they vainly sought to explain. When David Clark, the colored janitor, arrived in the early dawn to commence cleaning up for the day, he went to the cash drawer to procure the keys. He gave a yell and turned blue, his companions bolted for a place of safety. When they turned about they beheld the cause of all the trouble—a tiny kitten skipping playfully about the top of the big desk. The officer suppose that some facetious member of the day staff hid the kitten, thinking the drawer would be used during the early hours of the night. Pooch-Bah of Wilkesbarre P.O.

Box No. 5, Station B. spaw MRS. MARTM, the world renowned and highly celebrated business and test Medium reveals everything. No imposition. Can be consulted upon all affairs of life, business, love and marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all troubles and estrangements, challenges any Medium who can exceed her in startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember she will not for any price flatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, etc., with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies etc. Her advice upon sickness, change of business, law suits, journeys, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH tells your entire life past, present and future in a DEAD TRANCE, has the power of any two Mediums you ever met. In tests she tells your mother's full name before marriage, the names of all your family their ages and description, the name and business of your present husband, the name of your next if you are to have one, the name of the young man who new calls on you, the name of your future husband, and the day, month and year of your marriage, how many hi lden you have or will have; whether your present sweetheart will be true or not if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart, will you tell you when you will marry him, his business and date of acquaintance. All your future will be told in an honest clear and plain manner and in a dead chance. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts or intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all, do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Madame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a Medium, but such beliefs are contrary to the truth. It is only from the lack of discrimination that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not every one who placards himself or herself as a medium that can stand a test of what he or she claims. And a person of an enquiring mind may ask the reason why. It is simply it these advisers do not take the tible to study hun an nature. They do not spend their thoughts for a moment with acquiring the art of phaseology and kindred branches that will have a tendency to make the pathway to the road of the business clear and devoid of all obstacles. It is an undeniable fact that persons will come for advice in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they confront a Medium they try their utmost endeavor to dispel from their minds what they know so as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out or a person is the art used by many unprinciped mediums, but to take hold on the head and gain control of the mind thereby is a matter of impossibility to most of them. And yet this can be done and by consulting Ms. Marth the seeming mystery becomes a realization. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. So it proves conclusively that although there are infringers in our midst with oily tongues perhaps the gates of wisdom have not been closed to the entire profession. It takes a great deal of study to become an accomplished medium and by a continuous and uniting effort, the key to the wall of apparently unfathom able mysteries has been secured by MRS. MARTH for the benefit of humanity. ADVICE BY LETTER, $1.00 HOURS FROM 10 A. M., TO 8 P. W. MRS. M. B. MARTH, 246 W. 31st St., (near 5th Ave.), New York City. Enclose stamp for reply.

W. ALLN Supreme Voyager, 834 W. 58rd Street, New York City THE PLANET SATURDAY JULY 7, 1900 FOR MY LADY'S LETTERS. The coquille paper, which has an egg-shell finish, is much in demand. The newest papers are known as organdie, chiffon, coquille, Tarlatan and Dongola. Monograms and crests are smaller than they were at the beginning of the winter, and are invariably inside a circle. The majority of the tinted papers at present are made with a very narrow white border. Both the oblong and the square envelopes are used. Deep-tinted papers, with the exception of the new fad of khaki, are seldom used by the woman of refinement. The pale tints are the fashion of the moment. Delicate hellotrope, pistachio green, pale blue and faint gray are all in favor. An envelope novelty which promises to be a favorite is oblong in shape, with the flap extending diagonally across the back of the envelope, and the point, instead of being in the center, as usual, is at the extreme lefthand corner. Khaki paper is much used by the young person addicted to fads. But it is not an attractive paper. Khaki color, that dull shade of Manila brown, is anything but pleasing. The khaki paper can be bought plain, and also with a narrow red, white or dark blue border. The organdie paper is a special favorite at present. There is just a suggestion of resemblance in its weave to the organdie so much used for summer gowns. It can now be bought in the bond paper, as well as a thicker quality, and comes in heliotrope, blue and white. The woman who always does the correct thing never perfumes her note paper. She never uses paper of a strikingly pronounced tint, and she does not change it with every whim of fashion. She adopts a style of paper which she intends to make distinctively her own, and then clings to it. The most approved tint for writing paper at present is pistachio green. And the women who are fortunate enough to have a country house have the name of their summer house printed in white letters at the top of the green sheet. It is a matter of individual fancy whether the paper has a white border or not. It is equally correct either way. The pistachio green paper is also stamped with the owner's monogram in very small white letters inside a circle of silver. FROM OTHER QUARTERS Switzerland is particularly rich in water power and deficient in coal. The 33 largest towns of England and Wales have a total population of nearly 12,000,000. In Belgium, by a recent regulation, all bulls and cows are to wear earrings as soon as they have attained the age of three months. At Damascus the Vali of the city is reported to have discovered a library which escaped annihilation when Tamerlane destroyed the city in 1401. Teutonic peasants were the providers of blonde hair for rich Roman princesses, who loved the contrast of its faxen hue with their black eyes. A section of the tree over David Livingstone's grave, bearing the inscription carved at the time by his native followers, has been received by the Royal Geographical society in London and placed with the other Livingstone relies in its possession. The tree had decayed, and an iron telegraph pole now marks the spot where the great explorer died. The big block with the inscription was carried on men's backs from Chitambo's village, near Lake Bangweolo, in the heart of Africa, to the coast. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY To treat a child in convulsions place him in a hot bath to which mustard has been added. Wring a cloth out in cold water and wrap it about his head, changing it when it becomes hot. Sponge him and roll him in a blanket. To stop a bleeding nose, keep the patient's head thrown back and his arms raised. Hold a cold cloth to the nose and press the fingers on each side of the nose where it joins the upper lip. At the back of the head place a piece of ice. To care for a person who has fainted, lay him down, keeping the head low, and loosen the clothing. See that he has plenty of fresh air and dash cold water in his face. Use stimulants and smelling salts when consciousness has returned. When the boy's knife works too well, bathe the cut with clean cold water. Cut strips of plaster an eighth of an inch wide. Draw the edges of the cut together and strap it, leaving a space between strips. Cover the whole with absorbent cotton. DON'TS FOR BOOK LOVERS. Don't borrow books from private libraries. Don't leave a book "face down;" i.e. open. Don't mark a book in any way unless it's your own. Don't buy cheap books if you can afford better ones. Don't keep books on open shelves if you can avoid it. Don't scorn cheap books if you cannot afford better publications. Don't shut a book up with anything bigger than a narrow ribbon in it. Don't forget that bookcases with dust-proof glass doors are best. Don't lend books. No one will treat your books as you yourself do if you love them. Don't forget that good books are the best company in the world if read understandingly and appreciatively. Kansas City Times. American Patriotism. In discussing the questions that have led to the broadening of American interests and character and the increase of patriotism it would be very foolish to give the whole credit to our present experience in the far east, or to the events which led up to them. As a matter of fact, says the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post, the great work has been done, and is being done in our own country. We are rounding out the greatest decade of patriotism that we have ever known, and it has largely sprung from the organization of societies which, by associating the descendants of persons who have played active parts in the colonial and national life, have directed and stimulated that larger feeling which has become a power in the land. It has improved education, increased real charity, and given more interest and value to the thought and conversation of society. Furthermore, it has helped wonderfully to kill sectionalism and to strengthen the common loyalty. There are to-day more than 1,000,000 good people who are members of these various societies and the number is increasing every year. Buried with $500 in His Pocket. It is not often that a man is buried with $500 in his pockets. His relatives generally look to that. But such a case has actually happened in this city, says the Two Republics, of the City of Mexico. A few days ago Don Sabino Trujillo died and was buried in Dolores on Monday last. After the funeral the niece of the deceased informed the relatives of the dead man that he had at the time of his death the sum of $500 in one of his pockets, for he was buried in his ordinary clothes. She had seen him pay the doctor a short time before his death, some money, and put the remainder, $500, in his breast pocket. As no one had thought of looking for the money, and as the young lady was prostrate with grief at the death of her uncle, and so did not remember anything about the matter until after the funeral, the money was buried with the corpse. Czar Punlakes a Coward. Rough and harsh as he was, Nicholas I., czar of Russia, had a measure of chivalry in his disposition. While driving through the streets of St. Petersburg on one occasion he caught sight of an officer of his household in the act of upsetting an old begar woman, whose hands were raised in a prayer for alms. The official was quite unmindful of the august witness of his act and was rather pleased when a few hours later, he was summoned to the imperial presence. Nicholas soon undeclared him, and in the presence of a dozen courtiers cut him to the quick with his indignant reproof. "Enough," said Nicholas, finally; "you walk up and down that corridor all night, and every time you turn you will say, in a loud voice: 'I am a puppy! I am a puppy!'"—Chicago Chronicle. Post Offices in America There were 903 post offices in 1800; to-day we have 75,000—that is, in America alone. It took a letter 16 days to go from Philadelphia to Lexington, Ky.; 21 days to Nashville, Tenn. The cheapest letter postage was eight cents, and to send a letter more than a hundred miles cost a shilling. Three million letters and papers were then sent in a year; at the present time the post office handles about 30,000,000 pieces of mail in a single Jay.—Ladies' Home Journal. Why She Refused Him. Ida—Why under the sun did you refuse, him, then? Ada—Because I could never be happy with a man who is so careless in his dress. "Why, I always thought him immaculate in his attire." "You were mistaken. When he proposed to me he had on, with his dress suit, a lawn tie which he hadn't tied himself."—Philadelphia Bulletin. A Disappearance The golfers went forth in the morning. In a few minutes they returned awestricken. Somebody in the night had blasted the land on which they were wont to play till it was unrecoognizable. It was indeed a case of the missing link—N. Y. World. Very Suspicious. Mrs. Brown—I must be going back to the city at once. I've had three letters from my husband in two days. Mrs. Gray—Why, you poor dear! I know just how you feel. Two would be suspiciously attentive—but three! I really am afraid he has been doing something very reprehensible—Brooklyn Life. One More Convert Miss Wellon stood in front of the mirror, looking at the reflection of her once golden hair, now thickly streaked with silver. "I am tired of the double standard," she said. And she proceeded to make arrangements to place it on an exclusively gold basis.—Chicago Tribune. Inclined to Doubt. "A man who threatens a woman is a coward," exclaimed the earnest friend, "Well," answered Mr. Meekton, "I don't know about that. Of course he's a scoundrel and no gentleman, and he ought to be arrested. But I shouldn't lay it down as a rule that he's exactly a coward."—Washington Star. Appropriately Named. "Why are they called pyramids, pa?" asked George, who was looking at a picture of those wonders of Egypt. "They are called pyramids, my son," replied the father, without hesitation, "because, you see, they appear amid the general desolation of the desert."—Tit-Bits. Appraised at Full Value. "There, now," said Borem, after a long and tiresome dissertation, "there's a little good advice for you for nothing." "Yes," replied the long-suffering friend, "that's just about what it's good for."—Philadelphia Record. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. WILLIAM D. WASHBURN. Minnesota Republicans Would Like to Have Him Nominated for the Vice Presidency. Former United States Senator William D. Washburn, who has been indorsed by the Minnesota republican convention for vice president, has been an eminent citizen of this state for upward of 30 years. His public career as member of the legislature, then of congress and latterly of the United States senate has been pleasing to the people who now seem inclined to give him larger honors as their favorite for the vice presidency. He is a man of WILLIAM DREW WASHBURN. (Indersed by Minnesota Republicans for the Vice Presidency.) WILLIAM DREW WASHBURN. (Indersed by Minnesota Republicans for the Vice Presidency.) broad culture and no little scholarship. He is a lawyer and business man. His friends believe he would make a capital presiding officer of the senate and would bring to that station all the dignity it deserves. William Drew Washburn was born in Liverpool, Me., January 14, 1831, was graduated at Bowdoin in 1854, admitted to the bar in 1837, and began practice in Minnesota. In 1861-65 he was surveyor general of that state. Subsequently he settled in Minneapolis and engaged in manufacturing. He became president of the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad, and in 1878 was elected to congress, where he served for three terms, ending on March 3, 1885. Subsequently he was chosen United States senator, serving with distinction for several years. THE BICYCLE TROLLEY. Detroit Inventor Has an Idea. Which Is Interesting Even Though It May Not Be Practical. If the dreams of a Detroit inventor are realized there will soon be a network of wires stretching across the country on which owners of bicycles will be able to travel at their ease and without paying any attention to the condition of the roads. The invention, as the Detroit man has patented it, consists of a steel frame suspended from a wire, the frame being so built that it will hold an ordinary bicycle, together with the necessary mechanism for communicating the power to the wheels running on the trolley wire. When a bicycle is fitted into the frame of the "bicycle trolley" its rear THE BICYCLE TROLLEY. (A System Which Enables Wheelmen to Laugh at Bad Roads.) wheel rests on a flat belt running over two small wheels. An upright steel rod with a bevel gear top and bottom transfers the power generated by riding the bicycle in the ordinary way to the wheels running on the trolley wire, so that the frame, bicycle, rider and all will be carried swiftly along beneath the wire. The inventor contemplates the formation of a national company, with toll gates, to control the wire roads and telephone service all along the route. The peculiar condition of the atmosphere over southern England and western France on January 11 gave rise to extraordinary exhibitions of solar halos, or sun-dogs, described in the scientific journals of both countries. The phenomena were very beautiful, the sun being surrounded with concentric circles and inverted arches showing rainbow colors, while mock suns appeared among the halos. They were caused by clouds of minute ice-crystals floating at a great elevation. Books by Negro Authors. Daniel Murray, of the congressional library, who is making a complete list of books and pamphlets by negro authors for the Paris exposition, has already compiled a list of over 1,000 names. Thirty thousand women are employed in the British postal department. There are 150 head postmistresses and over 5,000 subpostmistresses. ALL SORTS. There were no strikes in North Carolina last year. The Japanese population of San Francisco has reached nearly 20,000. Milwaukee business men have contributed about $100,000 this season in funds to entertain conventions. New York derives a yearly income of $6,500,000 from corporations for privileges enjoyed in the use of the streets. It is estimated that during the past 14 months upward of 10,000 wolves have been killed in Wyoming, in addition to mountain lions, wildcats, lynx bear and coyotes. A good government movement has been started at Portland, Ore., in which a Roman Catholic archbishop, a Jewish rabbi, a Presbyterian minister, a Unitarian clergyman, and others of diversified views are working together. Ben. William Bull, superintendent of the Buffalo police department, will not tolerate drinking by patrolmen while on duty. A patrolman was recently reprimanded and fined $75, although a charge of intoxication was not sustained. Mayor Hart, of Boston, has suspended the issue of the City Record, a weekly paper started under the administration of Mayor Josiah Quinley to give news and information concerning the municipal departments, city advertising, and statistics. It has not been a success, and its paid circulation has been small. One of the most unique laws ever passed will shortly go into effect in Winchester, W. Va. The city council of that place passed a law requiring every citizen to pour kerosene oil on every open pool and that every open rain barrel shall have the spigot at the bottom. The town is infested with mosquitoes, and the law was passed in order to make the place an attractive resort for summer boarders. OF FOREIGN INTEREST. Roasted grasshoppers are still esteemed a great delicacy by the natives of Morocco. Bombay receives its water from three large lakes, which receive their supply from a region that is intensely malarious. The municipal authorities of London are engaged in the establishment of sterilized milk plants in different parts of the English metropolis. Berlin postal authorities estimate that no fewer than 160,000 postal cards without any addresses at all are mailed in the German empire every year. "Oberammergau is a quant place," says a traveler. "The whole town is practically controlled by the Lang family. They are the leading spirits in the production of the play. They have more or less charge of the various taverns, inns or hotels for the accommodation of the travelers and in a general way supervise everything." In Italy, as in the British isles, the propagation of infective disease by oysters is now a recognized danger, and at various points on her coasts—particularly where populous seaports discharge their sewage—the oysterbeds have become neither more nor less than fever preserves. At Taranto the alarm aroused by the suspected propagation not only of typhoid but of diphtheria by its justly celebrated oysters has led to the appointment of a "Commissione Sanitaria" to inquire into the condition of the beds. FOR TEACHER AND PUPIL Provision must be made annually in the Boston public schools for 2,500 additional pupils. A museum of art and archaeology will be established at the University of California next year. According to the School Review, only 41.51 per cent. of the pupils in American high schools are boys. The pupils of one school in Syracuse brought in in one day 29,000 cocoon clusters of the tussock moths, under the stimulant of prizes offered for such work. The Illinois state university is to have a department of household science, Miss Isabel Bevier has been called from Lake Erie college at Painesville, O., to fill the chair. The effort made by male students at Syracuse university to have women students excluded from oratorical contests have failed, as the faculty decided that women have as much need of oratorical accomplishments as men. At the University of Wisconsin the old practice of requiring theses on some particular line of investigation or research before granting a degree to graduate may be abolished. The faculty has had the matter under consideration and it seems that the objection of crowding too much work into the senior year will stand and that the system will be changed or entirely done away with. JAPS AND CHINAMEN In Japan it is the custom to set food before guests at whattime of day they call. Of the total area of the Japanese empire—147,000 square miles—hardly 12 per cent. is cultivable. In coining such modern words as "telegram," "photography," etc., the Japanese have recourse to the Chinese language, as we do to the Greek. The tea used in the immediate household of the emperor of China is treated with the utmost care. It is raised in a garden surrounded by a wall, so that neither man nor beast can get anywhere near the plants. At the time of the harvest those collecting these leaves must abstain from eating fish, that their breath may not spoil the aroma of the tea; they must bathe three times a day, and, in addition, must wear gloves while picking the tea for the Chinese court.

He is Hiram Cronk and is 100 years old. He lives at Dunn Brook, Oneida county, N. ¥., and is the only pensioner of that war. He was born in Frankfort, Herkimer county, N. Y., of sturdy Holland Dutch stock, of the family which has become famous through its litigation to regain the Cronk estates in the fatherland. While Hiram was still a beardless youth, his spirit was aroused over the Sz Wi Am 2 i y BZ 4 i S\ Zh WN aaa Ba sks he t+] Hf i af — ee eee (Only Male Survivor of the Anglo-Amer- fean War of 1812) issues of the war and he, with his fa- ther and two brothers, John and Jeptha, enlisted in the United States army and went to Sackett’s Harbor, where he served for about 100 days. Hiram was so young and of such slight built that the other soldiers tried to joke with him, saying that if need be his father could pick him up and carry him into a place of safety. Such an act was, however, unnecessary, for in skirmish with the British the youthful soldier car- Hed Misssslt go. well sad with sack « military bearing that Capt. Davis, who had command ef the troops, said that if he had a regiment of such soldiers he could go into Canada and fight the enemy on their own grounds. For his services Mr. Cronk receives pension of eight dollars per month. Mr. Cronk cast his first vote for Andrew Jeckson and has epntinued to vote for the democratic. ticket on down through the years, his last vote being for Cleveland. He is a devout ‘Methodist, and often, while in con- versation, will start out in a fairly clear voice on some old familar hymn. It gives him special pleasure to have anyone listen to his story of his conversion and it is one well worth the time. A family reunion was held on his hundredth anniver- Sea TO BE MADE KING.

To the Colored People of America, RECOGNIZING the Fact that there are many so called hair growers and straighteners now being offered on the market, and knowing to a certainty that most of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight forward statemont to the colored people of America threugh its best paper,the Planet. In the year 1871, our present Secretary through a fortunate circumstance acquired the reseipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or pushed to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and et with marked suc- cess. After a thorough test by the leading colored people of that time, it wa pronounced an bonost, legitimate remedy. True to all we claimed for it and worthy in every respect of the confidence and attention of every membere the colored race. Because they found it to cause the hair to GROW LONG AND STRAIGHT, soft and fine and as beautiful as an April morning. It also cures all forms of itching, humiliating scalp diseases, stops the hair from fall- ing out, and causes a new growth to grow on the baldest heal. Now, when- ever s genuine article appears on the market, there are always s lot ef people who imitate and make espital out of the merits of other people’s goods. See- ing our marked success numerous to-ealled hair growers and hair straighten. ers were put on the market. Of course the colored people had no way to tell that they were being fooled and bought most of them to their sorrow. Now we ask ins question.
