THE RICHMOND PLANET XVIII NO 15 THE COUNCIL FAILED THE COUNCIL FAILED MT. OLIVET DECLINED TO PAR TICIPATE IN IT. Another Meeting in April—Moore S. Baptist Church The Place. The Council when met at the Fourth Baptist Church, Tuesday, Mareh 26th, for the purpose of settling the grievances of that church against the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, failed of its purpose and after the appointment of a committee of five for the purpose of inducing Mt. Olivet Baptist Church to meet that body, adjourned until April 2nd when it will assemble at the Moore St. Baptist Church. The original proposition was to call a Mutual Council and this was to be concurred in by both the Fourth Baptist and the Mount Olivet Baptist Churches. A committee was sent by the Fourth Baptist Church to the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church asking that body to join in such a call. The latter church, however wanted the purposes for which the mutual council was to meet defined. It also wanted to know whether or not the Fourth Baptist Church recognized its pastor, Rev. J. Andrew Bowler as a regularly ordained minister. The 4th Baptist Church, did not give the Mt. Mt. Baptist Church all of the answers to the questions it desired, and accordingly, that church did not join in a call for the mutual council. The 4th Baptist church sent out the invitations to the churches on its own account, and Mt. Olivet Baptist church issued a circular explaining why it could not join in the call for the mutual council and declaring that it would not participate in the aforesaid council. This caused many of the churches to dislike to send delegates, regarding it as useless so to do delegates both parties to the conoveray would have to abide by the decision of that body. Rev. Evans Payne is said to have re viewed it entire trouble. From the action of the council, it is plainly apparent that nothing will be accomplished. The 1st Baptist Church of which the late Rev. Dr. J. H. Holmes was pastor had previously withdrawn the right-hand of fellowship from Rev. Evans Payne and declined to send delegates called by the Fourth Baptist Church. The Ebeneszer Baptist and the Fifth St. Baptist Churches also did not send delegates. The general opinion prevails that the Fourth Baptist Church and the Mt Olivet Baptist Church will be left to settle the matter between themselves. SHOT HIM TO DEATH. A. Colored Man in Halifax Summarily Dealt With. SOUTH BOSTON, VA. March 22 — On Monday night, Mr. H. S. DeJarnette, who lives near "Stovals," in the north ern position of Halifax, had his stable burned, together with two mules, an horse, and some harness and forage. Tuesday morning, Mr. DeJarnette, with others, found tracks which they traced to the house of a colored person, thence to a field on the farm, where they found the colored man ploughing. The man was arrested and tried before Justice C. R. Walker on Tuesday. The evidence appeared conclusive that he was the incendiary. The justice sent him on to the grand jury and appointed Charles Shelton special counsel to take him to jail. The constable took charge of the prisoner, and was proceeding on his way to his home to stay all night and make the necessary arrangements to take his prisoner to jail early Wednesday morning. At 8 o'clock Tuesday night, while he was nearing his home, he was confronted by forty or fifty men, and the prisoner, whose name was Hubert Waller, was taken away from him by the crowd and was shot to death. An inquest was held Wednesday morning, and the verdict of the jury was that he was killed by unknown persons. Constable Shelton could not identify any of the men who did the shooting, although they were not masked. High Street Baptist Church of Dan. ville, Va. Gone.

Davis, of Washington Passes ed Army Examination For Lieut. Benjamin O. Davis, of the District of Columbia, has passed the examination open to enlisted men of the regular army or appointment as a second lieutenant. He is the first colored man to pass. The tests were held recently at Fort Leavenworth, Kauai, and the result have just reached the War Department. Of the eighteen enlisted men who entered, Davis, who is a sergeant major of the Ninth Cavalry (closed) passed third in order of merit. Under the law the successful candidates will be appointed to vacancies as they occur. Davis will be the first Negro soldier to rise from the ranks to a commission in the regular army. He is a son of M. ssienger Davis, of the office of the Secretary of the Interior, was educated here, and was Major of the Colored School Cadet Corps. At the outset the Spanish war he volunteered and was appointed a lieutenant in the Eighth Regiment of Immunes. After the mustering out he served for a commission in the regular service. The only way open was through the ranks. He enlisted as a private in the Ninth Ovaly, was advanced to sergeant major of a squadron, and had served in that capacity for about one year when he entered for the examination. There is but one colored officer in the army at present, Captain Charles Young, of the Ninth Ovaly, a graduate of West Point, now at Wilberforce College, Ohio.

It Carries Death and Desolation to Birmingham, Ala. EIGHTEEN ARE DEAD, MANY HURT The Funnel Shaped Cloud Rushed Through the City by Leaps and Bounds: Leaving Destruction Wherever It Touched the Earth. Birmingham, Ala., March 26.—Shortly before 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon a fearful tornado swept over the southern section of this city, traveling in an easterly direction. The number of killed is 18, while 25 were more or less seriously injured. The property loss is $200,000. Following is a full list of the white victims of the tornado in this city: Dr. Chapman, Mrs. Robert G. Lowe, infant son of Robert G. Lowe, 3-year-old daughter of B. B. Hudson, and J. Dahlumpe, a German. The colored carrier: John Myron, 8-year-old Carrie Henry, Carrie E. Hudson, Maggie F. Stedmery (schoolgirl), Lizzie Goodlow, Lizzie Glenn and B. B. Hudson's cook. Dead at Irondale: John Gardner, white; Mamie and Clarence Hunter, colored, and two negro women missing. The storm struck the city in the extreme southwestern corner and plowed its way eastward, leaving a path 150 feet wide through the entire southern section, and continued its course on until its fury was spent in the mountains beyond Irondale, a small town six miles east of the city. The altitude of the cyclone was not more than 75 feet. The negro shanties and cottages in the lowlands in the south of the storm were the principal suffers. The larger residences on the higher ground suffered only slightly. The large trees on the hillside of the St. Vincent's hospital were torn up by the roots, and large masses of stone were twisted out of the ground and broken and scattered all over the driveways of the entrance to the institution. From Eighth to Tenth street the wind bounded like a rubber ball and when it again descended it struck a two-story house occupied by Joseph Busenhelder and almost razed it to the ground. The 11-year-old daughter of John Krunzey, a rolling mill man, was caught under the debris and severely injured. A house occupied by Taylor Hinson, near by, was unroofed and three small negro houses demolished. Onward the wind sped in its fury, demolishing trees and fences, until it reached Eleventh street, where a house occupied by John Hayes was levelled to the ground. Skimming close to the earth it swept through a small pine grove, tearing the trees up by the roots and hurling them through the air like arrows. Beyond the grove the storm cloud swooped down on a negro settlement and the frail cabins were crushed like eggshells, not one being left in the pathway of the storm. Carrie Elma, a negro, was buried beneath the debris, but most of the negroes escaped with slight injuries. Eastward the storm swept, cutting its way through an alley of woods, striking the Second Presidency, and at the corner of Avenue H and Fifth street, demolishing the structure. The debris were piled on top of the trees small oak table, which was used on the rostrum, was deposited on the topmost point of the wreckage. The storm then struck the more thickly settled residence portion of the city and its work of destruction increased. Almost a clean sweep was made of the district lying between Eighteenth and Twentieth streets and Avenue H and I, two blocks. Here the scene is one of completed demolition. The frame cottages were reduced to flattened piles of debris; every tree, large or small, was either crushed down or uprooted, and fallen telephone poles and their tangle of wires made a mass of destruction. Onward the cyclone swept, and at Irondale again repeated its work of destruction. Besemer, Pratt City, Ensley, North Birmingham and other suburban towns were visited by the storm, and in each of these places much destruction was wrought, but no loss of life is reported. Many houses were demolished at Pratt City, including a number of churches. At Powderly there was also much damage and destruction, and at Cleveland Mrs. George Hatt was struck by lightning and will probably die. The storm seems to have lifted after leaving Birmingham, and beyond giving Huntsville, Ala., a slight touch did not make itself felt until it passed over into Georgia. At Chambers, Ga., near Rome, a railroad depot was blown into a creek and washed away. At Rounsaville a big flouring mill was destroyed, together with many bushels of wheat. The handsome residence of the Rounsaville family was wrecked, but no one injured. The cyclone struck Buena Vista, Ga., at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The young child of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Harrell was killed, as was also a negro girl. The home of the Misses Woodall was wrecked and the occupants seriously injured. At Cartersville lightning struck a school house, killing two children. Owing to the tremendous rains the rivers In northern and northwestern Georgia are out of their banks. A Robber's Note of Apology. Paterson, N. J., March 7. — A robber who entered the residence of the late Vice President Hobart, Sunday night, and who departed without any booby on finding the silverware marked, left the following note in a loving cup which had been given to Mrs. Hobart by the Old Ladies' Home society for charitable work: "I humbly beg your pardon. I do not want to rob good people." Steamer Wrecked, Twenty-eight-Lost Melbourne. March 27. — Wreckage which has gone ashore on Gabo Island, near Cane Howe, the most southernern point of Australia, causes fear that the coastal steamer Federal, of Melbourne has foundered, with a loss of lives. PRINCE AND CHANGELLOR. Russia's Finance Minister May Become the Nation's Prime Minister come the Nation's Prime Minister. St. Petersburg, March 25.—In diplomatic circles here it is regarded as probable that M. De Witte, the finance minister, will be made imperial chancellor within a few years. They also believe the czar will first bestow princely rank upon him. M. De Witte's worst enemies do not deny his energy, mental capabilities and progressive MINISTER OF FINANCE DE WITTE tendencies. His desire to make Russia equally strong at home as abroad promises well for the world's peace. In the meantime his influence is growing so rapidly and steadily that it is considered that but a short time will actually exercise the chancellor's functions, even without princely rank. M. W. Kovalevsky, one of the chief employees of the ministry of finance and director of commercial and industrial affairs, may be made assistant finance minister when M. De Witte becomes chancellor. Prince Boris Galltzine is mentioned as the successor of M. Bogolliepoff, the minister of public instruction, who was recently assassinated by Peter Karpovitch. TRYING TO AVERT A STRIKE. Father Phillips Arranges a Confer- ence With J. Pierpont Morgan. Hazleton, Pa., March 26.—Rev. Father Phillips, of St. Gabriel's church, this city, and A. T. McAllister, secretary of the local board of trade, left last night for New York with the object of endeavoring to bring about an amicable adjustment of the threatened troubles between the anthracite miners and operators. It was expected here that Wilkesbarre and Scranton would also send committees from their boards of trade, to act jointly with the Hazleton committee. It was announced here last night, however, that after considering the subject the trade boards of those cities had concluded that there was no pressing need at present for sending representatives to New York to discuss the differences between the miners and operators. A dispatch from New York today announces that Father Phillips and Mr. McAllister will confer with J. Pierpont Morgan at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Killed in a Mine Explosion Connellsville, Pa., March 26.—The first and most fatal mine explosion to occur in the New Kliondike region of Fayette county happened yesterday. One man was killed instantly, James Wilson died tonight and for others are dying. The body of the man instantly killed, an unknown Italian missing. The dying men are James Murphy, Wilson Gilmore, Michael Seloka and George Peikiske. The cause of the explosion was an accumulation of gas in the heading of the Gates mine, one of the new mines opened up this winter by the American Steel and Wire company. Kentucky Killed Her Mother. New York, March 27.—An accident occurred last night at the residence of Peter Scanlan, a railroad contractor of this city, his wife, Bridget, was instantly killed by a fire from a revolver fired by Scanlan's 18-year-old daughter Nora. The revolver was the regulation police pistol and be longed to James Scanlan, attached to the city force. Nora, while handling the revolver, accidentally discharged it, the ball almost instantly killing the mother. The coroner investigated and exonerated the girl. PRICE 5 CENTS CHINESE MINISTER WU Criticizes Racial Prejudice and Religious Intolerance. ARE "MONSTERS OF BARBARISM." He Cannot Recall War Between China and Any of Her Neighbors Waged For the Propagation of Any Religion or the Enslavement of a People. New York, March 27.—A public meeting under the auspices of the Barons and Baroness de Hirsch association was held last night in Calvary Baptist church, this city. The attendance was very large. Gen. Thomas L. James presided. The object of the association is to erect a monument to the Hirsches and eliminate racial prejudice and religious intolerance. Many Hebrews as well as Chinese were present. The pastor of the church, the Rev. Dr. R. S. MacArthur, appeared on the platform accompanied by Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, and the other speakers. After the singing and the reading of a scripture lesson by Dr. MacArthur and prayer by Rabbi Silverman, Gen. James made an address. Letters of regret were read from President McKinley and Vice President Roosevelt. Wu Ting Fang then spoke. He said it was needless for him to say that he was heartily in sympathy with a movement to eradicate racial prejudice. "But when the secretary of this association went on to tell me," he said, "that the meeting was to be held in this house, the temple of God, and that eminent divines were also to speak, I felt a little nervous, and I remembered that I had a previous engagement which would prevent my coming. So I was obliged to decline. But the secretary wrote me that the meeting which was originally set for last month had been postponed. He said it had been postponed until I would come, and that I would come," The minister then produced a manuscript and read his address. He said in substance: "Racial prejudice and religious intolerance are two monsters of barbarism. In former days they seemed to stalk abroad hand in hand, setting nation against nation, people against people. The world was in constant turmoil, although the west suffered the most. What did the crusades accomplish but to inflict untold sufferings upon Christians and Mohammedans alike? Among the most destructive instances of such persecution was that of the Huguenots in France and the expulsion of the Moors from Spain. Such things, I am happy to say, are no longer tolerated, although in many countries laws still discriminate against the Jews or other classes on account of race or religion. It is remarkable, however, how little there has been of these two races among the eastern peoples. I cannot recall wars between China and any of the high bows waged for the propagation of a religion or the enslavement of a people. "The way to remove these evils is to remove the cause. Most men fear and hate what they do not know. Some men don't like snakes, but when a naturalist studies them closely her finds that most of them are harmless, and that even those that are venomous are comparatively harmless (handled right." The minister said that the progress of civilization continually broadens the minds of men, and the most highly armed men sympathize with the aspirations of all races. As examples he named, Lifetime Warrior, Gleddstone, Alexander II of Russia and Baron and Baroness of Hirsch. Other speakers were Rev. Hoben Newton, Rev. Joseph Silverman, Rev. Charles T. Walker (colored), Rev. Dr. McArthus, Rev. C. H. Eaton and Rev. Samuel Schulman. Edwin Markham read an original poem. St. Mary's, W. Va., March 24.—Sixteen times in the life of George Washington Anderson did marriage prove not to be a failure, but the 17th wife has sent him to the poorhouse. When the married state was entered into by Mr. Anderson for the 17th time he was a man of 68 and his bride was 74. It was less than a month ago that Anderson came to town, no one knows from whence, and in a short time had seen and loved Miss Martha Wells. In days he had proposed and was accepted. They went to Parkersburg the last of February and were wedded. Life was at first rosy, but then the husband got sick, and the new love grew cold, and one day in his pockets his new wife found a written confession, signed by her husband, that he had been 16 times wedded before he met her, and that nearly all of the 16 are living. This was too much for the aged bride, and she bundled him off to the poorhouse and has applied for a divorce. General French's Successful Sorte- Vryheld, March 27.-Gen. French with Dartnall's and Pulney's column arrived here Monday, having killed, wounded and captured 1,200 Boeens. He has also taken seven cannon, 2,000 rifles, 1,800 wagons and 226,000 head of horse, cattle and sheep. Chatty Diplomatic Gossip at the Courts of the World “Hadji Hassim Ghooly Khan, A fine old fellow from Teheran.’ it was a number of years ago, a dozen oF more, that these lines first appearec in a New York 95 funny paper, anc 4 3 from that were 7 ts scattered broad i cast by the press a of the country ¥ They referred to Bie the then Persian = minister accredit QW eosin LD and the first line nase Khan gives the honora Mofakhamed DoveR 1. oontle m a p's <B name. Hadji Hassim Ghooly Khan came of fine old Persian stock. He was gifted in all the learning of the east, also was he the possessor of fabulous riches and many fine clothes, all of which he came to Washington to display. But his name was too much for him. He had not been in the country a week; even worse than that, he had not yet reached our shores before the name of Hadji Hassim Ghooly Khan had been coupled with all sorts of things that would wake a funny rhyme. ‘These rhymes with caricatures of the owner of such @ name greeted him as he stepped from the vessel in New York; they followed him to Washington; the boys on the streets cried them at him when he went for a constitutional or to pay a state visit. He stood it manfully for awhile; he tried to bury the name before the dig- Bity of his office and his fine raiment, and then, just as the fun was beginning to lag a bit, he made his fatal mistake he complained to the state depart- ment of the treatment accorded him by the American press—and the boys. He did not understand the workings ef a free press in a free country, nor the inalienable rights of young Ameri- ea. That complaint started all the fun anew, and Hadji Hassim Ghooly Khan, in sheer desperation, packed up his fine clothes, took all his name with bim, and left for home, never to return. From that time until a few weeks ago Persia has been without a diplo- matic representative at Washington. ‘Then came s new one with the less rhymthical name of Isane Khan Mo- fakhamed Dovet. It is said that he. too, had much wealth and fine clothes, and that he is establishing a legation 4m Washington that makes al! previous efforts of his countrymen pale inte dnsignificance by comparison.

The interest of Sir Ernest in the Japanese people existed before he was first sent to Japan during the days when civil war was ravaging that coun- ‘try, dnd his arrival in the land but quickened this interest. So assiduous- ‘ly did he apply himself to the study of ‘them that he often followed particu- lar characters representing different classes through the streets, or traveled with the countrymen for some distance out of the city when opportunity of- fered. One of these expeditions, some three Fears after his arrival in Japan, cost him his liberty for a time, and came near costing him his life. Rebel spies hovered about the city constantly, even though the headquarters of the rebels Were at Shimonoseki, far away to the south and west, and during one of his short pilgrimages in search of informa- tion he was waylaid by some half a dozen of these spies of the forcign-hat- ing rebels and threatened with death. In hope of reward from the rebel chiefs his execution was delayed for a time until they could be communicated with. In the'meantime, on September 5 and 6, 1864, the allied fleets had taught the rebels the power of the foreigners they were defying, and instead of the con- templated praise for his captors, and order for his prompt execution, there came an order for h!s release. Sir Ernest was born June 30, 1843, and is a bachelor. New Minister to Greeee. Col. Charles S.

Not only did he inherit his newspa- per property from his father, but he seems to have inherited the new post which be is to fill from him as well, as the father, John M. Francis, rep- resented this country at the Grecian court during the administration of President Grant. Later he was tran ferred to Portugal, and from there to the most responsible post in Aus- tria, During this time the son served as his private secretary, and now comes his appointment to the same position when he has reached exactly the same age as his father when he received his first appointment, While Col. Francis has been active in political circles for a number of years, being chairman of the execu- tive committee of the National Repub- lican Editorial association, he has never before held public office.

Such s change meant reduc- tion both in rank and salary, for the English minister to whom every for- eign envoy in Peking gave praise, and a corresponding rise to Sir Frnest, to whom England felt she would rather trust her interests during the peace negotiations. But England has recovered her equilibrium and seemingly wishes to make amends to Sir Claude for the in- jury done him. To accomplish this, it is rumored that the post at Tokio will be increased to the rank of ambassador, and that Japan will return the com- pliment by increasing the rank of her minister to the court of St. James to the rank of an ambassador, * ‘The English press says the change 1s to be made both on public and per- sonal grounds, the idea being to honor @ deserving public servant who bas suffered « wrong at the hands of the government, and at the same time ac knowledge the debt of the powers to Japan for her able assistance duriag the troublous times in China.

HERE were pirate craft quartering the Caribbean sea from the Island of Trinidad to Havana, and from Nassau to the Bay of Honduras. They sailed up and down the Gulf of Florida, and they hung about the Bataama bank and the Yucatan and Windward channels. Many a trader from the American coast fell into their hands, to be burned or sunk and the crew sadly misused, and the dread of the black flag lay heavy on the sailor's mind. Of all the men who, trusting in luck, event from the port of Salem to the Florida cape, Noah Hutchins was perhaps the most notable. In his old butter-box of a brig, the Lucky Sally, he raised out of Salem for the West Indies is clamily and serenely as he started off for Sunday meeting as ashore. On one occasion he would have been captured by a rover but for the advent of a sudden squall; on another the Lucky Sally owed her escape to a fog and brought home three solid shot fired into the hull; again a "long, low, raikish craft," flying the Jolly Roger, and come within range of her and was about to open fire when an English man-of-war hove in sight and sent the red rover scurrying. Capt. Noah had been a wildower for many years. For many years also he had had an eye on the "Widder" Skinner; when he got through taking out machinery and calicoes and bringing back rum and molasses he would ask her to "jine" with him. It was an understood thing between them. Each time that he sailed away the widow dimilsoned him to look out for black tags, and each time he returned home the thanked Heaven for his escape. As time went on he came to his last voyage. The pirates were still doing brisk business at the old stand, but the lock of the Lucky Sally would take her through, and then he'd sette down and have a home for the remainder of his days. On the night before the brig was to sail Capt. Noah went up as usual to call on the window. "Nancy, I shall be back in about a month," he said as he sat poking the fire and eating an apple, "and then I'll be around to milk the cow, feed the dogs and wind the clock." "Well, I shall be kind o' glad on it." she replied with a blush. "I do confess that it's sort o' handy to have a man around. By the way, Noah, did I tell you that the cow had lost her cud?" "N-o-o-a! You don't say so!" "Yes, she has. hasn't been herself or the last two weeks. When a cowoses her cud you can look for most anything to happen." "What d'ye spose made her lose it?" asked the captain after a solmn silence. "Dunno, unless she got to pining." "Pining for what?" "For a change of scenery, maybe. I've been thinking. Tais is to be your last voyage, and the cow has lost her cud. Being as this is your last voyage I want you to be comfortabler than usual. Being as the cow is pining, sposen you take her along and dive her a chanre of scenery? Both if you'll be the better for it." "She'd be in the way," replied the captain, slowly, "but at the same time there's the milk. Then she'd sort' remind me of you. If change of neenery will brighten her up, I'll fetch her back with her tall in the air." It happened, therefore, that when the Lucky Sally spread her wings next morning and sailed out of Salem at her usual lively speed of six miles an hour, the widow's cow was on board. Nothing happened for anyone to call over until the brig was headed or home and was trying to bound over the bounding billows to the westward of Caicos Bank. The sun had just climbed out of his bed when a sail was reported coming up astern. The mate and the crew almost at once declared her to be a pirate, but Capt. Noah was in no hurry about it. He ate his breakfast and smoked his pipe, and then took a long squint at the stranger through his glass. Her black flag had been thrown to the breeze and was visible to the naked eye before the captain carefully put away his glass and calmly observed: "Wall, now, but that's a pirate, sure 'nuff, and I shouldn't wonder if he was after us." The Lucky Sally cut along at her best pace, but two hours after the strange sail had been raised the rover craft was alongside. Luck had finally deserted the brig. As no resistance was made when a score of cuthroats sarrambled over the rail, no one was shot or cut down. Capt. Noah didn't get flustrated. He looked the situation over and then explained to the pirate leader: "Wall, captain, she's loaded with rum and sugar and won't make you rich, but we've got to take luck as it comes. I did hope to dodge jeest this once more, but being as I couldn't, I must make the best of it. What we going to do with we? By the usual rules and regulations governing the pirate business, Capt. Noah and his crew ought to have been made to walk the plank and the brig sent to the bottom after them, but all rules and regulations have exceptions. There was no dearth of rum and sugar in the black flag market, but such a cargo always came in handy. A trader's crew couldn't reasonably expect mercy from pirates, especially when they hadn't a dollar to give up, but the rovers reasoned it out that it would save their own muscle to let the crew of the Lucky Sally work her up to Acklin island, which was then a rendezvous, and break out the cargo. When they had served their turn they could be shot, hung or drowned, according to convenience. A crew of six fantastically dressed and serious-looking rovers were left on board as a prize crew, and the pirate craft took herself off in search of a richer prize. The brig's crew numbered seven, counting the cook, but as jackknives were their only weapons the pirates had no cause to fear a revolt. They had arms in plenty, and they also realized the moral effect upon the peaceful traders of their profession and presence. They took possession of the cabin and the captain's big jug of Santa Cruz extra, and though they drank and gambled and cursed and sang, they offered no violence to the helpless prisoners. I have treated the widow's cow as a sipher while relating the story of attack and capture. But for sight of the pirate sail she would have been milked at the usual hour in the morning. The chase and capture put her out of the thoughts of captain, mate and cook, and up to five o'clock in the afternoon she had neither been milked, watered nor fed. At that hour, when the pirates had ceased their roystering for a time to let their heads clear, and were assembled on deck, one of them suddenly espied the cow and cried out that he was both a farmer and a pirate bold. He would milk her, and there should be milk punch for night caps. Pail and stool were fetched, and, amidst much hilarity on the cut-throat set out to play the part of a dairy maid. The widow's cow was hungry and thirsty and suffering from want of milking, and, though not an excitable cow, the presence of the pirates had affected her somewhat. She had become nervous and irritable, and finally had a longing to break loose and battle for her bovine rights. She was in this mood when one of the black flags untied her and led her out upon the deck, and the man with the pail sat down to his task. The first move was a kick which rolled the milker on his back and confused his piratical ideas for full five minutes. The second was a charge which lifted the man at the end of the rope off his feet and let him fall with a crash. Then, as the four other pirates cried out and started back the cow pursued them. Two of them were picked up on her horns before they could escape, while the other two sprang into the rigging. Then it was that Capt. Noah Hutchins saw luck coming aboard and reached out to give her a helping hand. CAPT. NOAH LED THE COW. In two minutes they had four of the pirates fast bound, and the brlg was their own again. The cow kept charging about for the next ten minutes, not discriminating between pirate and honest sailor, while the two rovers in the rigging swore they would never be taken alive. All things come to an end, however, and in due time the cow was secured and the pirates were tied hand and heel. The milking had hardly been finished when the wind hauled four points to the west, the yards of the Lucky Sally were braced to the change and she went squattering away up the channel with all the dignity of a man-of-war. There were other rovers afloat, and there were squalls and fogs and head winds to be encountered, but one fair day the Lucky Sally sailed into the port of Salem with flags flying, everybody whistling and the cook beating on a tin pan. The story of the cow, the capture and the escape was known all over town almost before the brig had been made fast to the wharf, and everybody turned out to swing his hat and huzza and assist in a triumphal march to the Widow Skinner's. Capt. Noah led the cow with one hand and waved the American flag with the other. The cow was chewing her cud, and her tall stood up, just as he had promised. "Wall, Noah, I was 'specting ye back," said the widow as she appeared at the door. "So the cow has got over plunging?" "I'm a-believing she has, Nancy, and I've got the all-firedest pirate story to tell ye ever heard of. That critter saved the Lucky Sally and all the rest of us." "Shoo! Didn't I say that losing her cud and your last voyage had a bearing on each other? Wall, turn her into the barnyard and then scrape the mud off yer boots and come in and tell me about it." "And we are to be jined in marriage in two weeks," said the captain as he led the cow away. "La me, but what a man! If you say so I 'spose it's got to be, even if I have to put off making soft-soap and dyeing carpet-rags." For-Seeing: "Why don't you get up and denounce the trusts?" "I'm afraid to," answered the business man. "It might hurt my financial standing. Everybody will take it as a sure sign that I don't own stock in any of them."—Washington Star. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA DECISIONS OF THE COURTS. Admission of contributory negligence made by an injured person who subsequently dies from his injuries is held, in Georgia R. & R. Co. vs. Fitzgerald (Ga.) 49 L. R. A. 175, to be admissible in evidence for the defendant on the trial of an action brought by the widow of the decedent for damages on account of his death. Numerous persons who establish a ferry, buy ferryboats and hire a person to run the ferry within limits for which an exclusive franchise has been granted to another party are held, in Warren vs. Tanner (Ky.) 49 L. R. A. 248, to be guilty of violating that exclusive privilege, although their ferry is established exclusively for themselves and their families. Presumption against suicide is held, in Standard Life and Accident Insurance company vs. Thornton (C. C. App. 6th C.) 49 L. R. A. 116, to be decisive of the case until overcome by testimony, where a passenger on a sleeping-car disappeared from it in the night, and the next morning was found dead upon the track between the rails, with his overcoat on, under circumstances which excluded every hypothesis except suicide or accident. A dangerous practice of mail agents of throwing the mail from a moving train so as to endanger persons on the railroad premises is held, in Shaw vs. Chicago & G. T. R. Co. (Mich.), 49 L. R. A. 308, to make the railroad company liable to an intending passenger who was on the railroad platform and who was injured by a mail bag thrown against him, if the carrier had knowledge of the dangerous practice and had allowed it to continue. INDIVIDUALITIES Howard Wilson, who astonished Wall street by the shrewdness with which he manipulated the recent cotton corner, began life as an office boy. "Uncle" Solon Chase, of Maine, laughs at the medical authorities of West Point who rejected him 50 years ago as a consumptive with but a few years to live. John G. Milburn, president of the Buffalo pan-American exposition, is a prominent lawyer of Buffalo. He is a native of England, but came to this country at the age of 18. The wife of Russell Sage, writing in Success, gives this as her husband's favorite quotation: "To cultivate strength of will, to conquer self, is to develop character and achieve success." The brother of Andree, the missing aeronaut, despairing of his brother's return from the arctic regions, has finally opened his will. The tenor of it shows that the explorer hardly expected to return. Among those who recently received the congressional medal of honor was a Marcus A. Hanna, not the senator, however, but a sergeant of company B, Fiftieth Massachusetts infantry, in the war of the rebellion. It is said that insurance policies to the amount of $20,000,000 have been taken out on the life of J. Pierpont Morgan by business men whose investments might be expected to lose in value, temporarily, at least, by Mr. Morgan's death. A MIXED LOT. There are 75 doctors to every 100,000 persons in London. There were 295,752 marriages in France during the year 1899. A lock of John Hampden's hair, cut off at the exhumation in 1828, was sold by auction in London recently for £4 6s. In 1900 the output of the Wisconsin cheese factories sold for about $6,000,-000, the price being about ten cents a pound on the average. Although there are many cold winter days in northern Italy, third-class railway cars are never heated, and second-class cars only on express trains. Wisconsin has 143 state, 130 private, one savings and 84 national banks. All but the national banks are under the control of the state bank examiner. Seattle purposes to build a canal eight miles long from Puget sound to Lake Washington, which is 20 miles long, 200 feet deep, and will make an ideal harbor. All the trains that reach the new Orleans station in the center of Paris are brought there by electric power in tunnels. This is considered the ideal depot of the twentieth century. A Berlin journal reports that a petition signed by 34,000 bee-growers has been sent to the government asking that it be made illegal to use the word honey for anything but the natural product of the bees. TOLD IN FIGURES. Net earnings of the Tennessee prisoners in the last two years were $280,000. It is estimated that there are in Mexico 25,000 former residents of the United States. It is estimated that 2,085 wives and families in Chicago were deserted by husbands last year. Twenty-eight of the counties of southern Michigan have lost 40,000 rural population in the past ten years. There are 192,034 miles of single track operated by electricity in Massachusetts, of which 14,298 miles were constructed during the past year. It took a force of auditors a week to locate a discrepancy of 12 cents between the accounts of the city controller and the city treasurer of Philadelphia in a sum total of $60,000,000. The total number of publications issued by the United States department of agriculture during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1900, was 468, of which 95 were publications of the weather bureau. Qualit Customs in Shetland The only part of the United Kingdom in which the old style of reckoning time is adhered to is the archipelago of Shetland, and there Sunday, January 13, was New Year's day. But Sunday being with the natives a strict dies non for business or for pleasure, the next day witnessed the high jinks incident to the occasion. These included processions of "guisers" or mummers, and the drinking of various strange toasts, such as! 'Heit to man and death to da grayfish,' and the health of the 12 apostles. In Shetland the remnants of the old Norse language linger to such a degree that the dialect in almost a sealed book—even to Scotsmen. The last specimen of the great auk, whose eggs are now valued at something like 100 guineas apiece, was done to death there, but the little auk still retains a precarious footing on the lonely islet of Foula.—London Mail. Coldness in the Family The young married man was visiting at the house of a neighbor the other evening and of course he must take his wife with him. "By the way," he remarked, during a lull in the conversation, "I was over to your office this noon while you were at dinner. I was looking over your typewriter, and I like it first rate. What's the name of it? Suppose I could get one like it?" "Well, I guess so," said the neighbor, "her name's Mary and she's a twin. If you'll come to the office tomorrow I'll introduce you to her sister, who comes in every day about two o'clock." It took the young married man 15 minutes to convince his wife that he was speaking of the machine, not the operator, and he has not spoken to the neighbor since.—Omaha News. Were Fond of Children Although the czar of Russia—he is emperor as well as czar—is one of the busiest men in all Europe he makes a point to spend three hours a day with his children. Thomas Jefferson's happiest hours were spent in working and playing with his children and grandchildren. Charles Dickens found his best recreation in the same way. Abraham Lincoln soothed the anxieties of war days by romping with his boys in the white house. And New England's grand old man, Edward Everett Hale, has kept young in spite of a long life of hard public labor by cultivating the society of his children and their children.—Chicago Chronicle. Snow Shoes for Horses. When a man tells about putting snow shoes on his horse one immediately thinks that there is some joke on or that the man is talking about the arctic region, but it seems that such things occur nearer home. A farmer from Sidney was in Augusta, who said he came without much difficulty, as he had trained his horse to wear snow shoes. He said that without the aid of these it would have been almost impossible for him to have made the trip.—Lewiston (Me.) Journal. An Awkward Question. Sir Frank Lockwood was once engaged in a case in which Sir Charles Russell (the late lord chief justice of England) was the opposing counsel. Sir Charles was trying to browbeat a witness into giving a direct answer, "Yes" or "No." "You can answer any question yes or no," declared Sir Charles. "Oh can you?" retorted Lockwood; "may I ask if you have left off beating your wife?" Argonaut. "Crazyanthema." Bessie, our nurse girl, an Episcopalian of enthusiastic temperament, had not seen the big yellow chrysanthemums on the parlor table until she brought the baby in to be inspected by the lady donor of the flowers.

Design for a Photograph Frame Which, If Well Executed, In Sure to Give Satisfaction. The delicate quality which a well-known writer on the subject has aptly defined as finesse in embroidery is characteristic, when worked of this charming design. The inspiration was one of the exquisitely worked waist-coats which, during the latter half of the eighteenth century, were dear to the heart of the man of fashion, and equally satisfactory to the embroideress of the day as affording scope for her skill. Succeeding generation workers have good reason to be grateful for the storehouse of treasures which this pleasing mode of our anestors has bequeathed to PHOTOGRAPH FRAME DESIGN. us, and which is equally inexhaustible as a source of instruction or of suggestion. Every variety of refined and defilet stitchery was called into requisition to suit the fashionable fancy, and the dandy of the period, as M. Ernest Lefebure tells us, and as examples preserved in museums and private collections testify, used even, when he felt he had exhausted European resource, to send his coats and waistcoats, ready cut, to be embroidered in China; so that not only does his luxurious wardrobe remain as an object lesson to the worker of to-day in the needlecraft of her own country, but sometimes introduces her to some of the finest methods and styles of oriental embroidery. The specimen on which the design is based is a delightful example of English embroidery of some century and a half ago, preserved at the Victoria and Albert museum, London. The ground is a creamy white satin, and the allies used the very finest floss; the whole piece is, indeed, the most delicate, needle-painting of the most delicate type. Very fine threads of filo-floss might be used nowadays for working it, care being taken to select the shades together so as to the light trelliswork, for example, is in the soft plum-bloom color, best described by its old-fashioned name of "puce," the dull tone of which, even when fresh, makes it blend so restfully with other hues. The small flowers intersected by the trellis are in pale silvery blue, and the little sprays filling the spaces are crimson flowered, with green leaves and combination of colors. The curious flower, with its cluster of small blossoms surrounding tall, upstanding stamens, is worked in blue, shading from the palest to a deep, dull indigo; the stamens are in light green tipped with maize and coral tints. The poppy shades from red to flesh pink; the small shower spray of flowers at the lower part of the bouquet is blue, while the pansy-shaped blossom above it shows delicate shades of pale mauve. The foliage is in greens, finely shaded from light to dark, and there is a touch of crimson in the flower-head standing erect above the others.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Evolution of the Wrapper. Time was when the wrapper played such an important part in the comic papers and was such an untidy garment that it was banished from any correct outfit; but the dainty wrappers of to-day and the pretty matresses make a charming style of morning dress and one that is comfortable and appropriate. The kimono and such flowing garments should be relegated to the bedroom, but a pretty wrapper, with a fitted lining, may have loose fronts and a Watteau plait in the back, and yet not look in the least untidy or too neglige. The crepons, cashmere, challies and India silks are all good for these wrappers, especially in light colors. White is the smartest, of course, but soils too easily to make it practical for the majority of women. White lace should be used in trimming all wrappers, for as soon as it becomes in the least soiled it may be taken off and washed or cleaned, and in this way is a much better trimming than ribbon or chiffon, which rarely look the same after cleaning.—Harper's Bazar. Laughter Promotes Health There is not the remotest corner or little inlet of the minute blood vessels of the human body that does not feel some wavelet from the convulsions occasioned by hearty laughter. The life principle of the central man is shaken to its innermost depths, sending new tides of life and strength to the surface thus materially tending to insure good health to the persons who indulge therein. The blood moves more rapidly, and conveys a different impression to all the organs of the body, as it visits them on that particular mystic journey when the man is laughing, than it does at other times. For this reason every hearty laugh in which a person indulges tends to lengthen his life, conveying as it does, distinct stimulus to the vital forces.—N. Y. Weekly. There are really four necessaries of life—air, water, food and clothes, in the order named. To the first, and by long odds the most important, we pay no attention. It is the most plentiful substance in nature, yet the most absolutely indispensable, and we never think of it until man or beast renders it disagreeable. Without it we can live a few minutes, without water a few days, without food a few months. and without clothes forever and a day. Death by suffocation is horrible, but quick; by thirst it is appalling and long drawn out. To find a substitute for water is to offset, and, indeed, to control nature. My old friend, Lieut. Edward S. Farrow, when scouting for the Nez Perces in Idaho in 1878, suffered intensely because of a lack of water, until the friendly Indians taught him to peel the bark from a pine and suck the moisture out of the velvety white inner skin. In a short time he and his soldiers were quite independent of aqua pura. With a pocketful of pine bark they could go for days without drinking. Perhaps this is a small contribution to science, or, at least, to the economy of nations.—N. Y. Press. Speculation and Theft Speculation and Theft. Some statistician, in emulation of Lombrosco, perhaps, has been figuring out the habitual employment of convicts. He concludes that more men and women whose employers are the national, state or municipal government fall into evil ways and come to untoward ends than those who work for private individuals or corporations. A very large proportion of the men and women who have been handlers of public money seem to yield to the constant temptation and begin to speculate, and some cynic observes that speculation is the corollary of speculation. As a matter of fact, most of the big and little thieves who confess how they were led to take money that did not belong to them declare that speculations of one sort or another brought them eventually behind the barn.—Chicago Chronicle. The Library. "Yes, this is Daniel's library. You know a man like him must have a place where he can get alone and think and cultivate himself. How much do you spose it cost to fix up this room? Nine thousand dollars! I could show the bills if had time. But, after all, it's worth it. We mustn't forget that we owe something to art and literachoor. Just look at all the books Daniel has gathered. I sometimes wonder how he ever done it, him being such a busy man—and every one of them just exactly as good as it was the day it come out of the store, too!"—Chicago Times-Herald. No Change. In a Sheffield workshop, when the men absented themselves, they were expected to produce a doctor's certificate. An Irishman, absent, however, on a second occasion, and told to bring his certificate, gave in the one used before. The manager, looking at it, said: "Why, Maguire, this is an old certificate!" "Sure, I know that, your honor," said Maguire, calmly. "And isn't it the same could complaint?"—London Spare Moments. Posters in Egypt The bill-poster fiend has made his appearance in Egypt, and has been "decorating" the magnificent ruins of temples and other remains of antiquity which are to be found scattered up and down in the vicinity of the Nile. It is a shame, protests the Cairo Sphinx, that spots so hallowed by age and tradition, and some of them world-renowned in history, should be desecrated by the billposter advertising a hotel or an infallible pill by means of the posters he plasters hapazhard on the ruins.—Troy Times. Blissful Ignorance. A lioness is said to have escaped from a menagerie in France recently, and, flattered by the attentions of an old lady, who, thinking the animal was a big dog, patted it on the head, followed her for quite a distance. The cries of people who discovered a lion in the paths frightened the beast, which took refuge in a lumber yard and was led back to her cage. N. Y. Herald. Women in Norway In consequence of emigration there is a greater preponderance of women in Norway than in almost any other country in Europe. The census of 1891 showed that there was an excess of women over men of almost 70,000, while in 1876 this excess only amounted to 43,000. Y. Sun.

Photography as an art has attained such a standard of excellence that no paints are too infinite to enhance its effectiveness. While the primary object in any likeness, is to portray the features, the pose, the individual, yet it cannot be gainsaid that much of our pleasure in viewing the countenance, however perfectly depicted, may be seriously marred by the unhappy selection of an unbecoming gown. It is a mistake to wear one's richest and most sumptuous costume instead of one whose design, being less pronounced, is, consequently, less apt to look grotesque a few seasons hence. Certain materials are risky, to say the least, in a photograph. Satins or silks with high luster throw lights and shadows which are harsh and unexpected in reproduction. Translucent fabrics are by far to be preferred. Softly folding, easily draped, and not pronounced are crepes, either silk or wool, and chiffon. Tulle, nets and such lace-like transparent effects depend so much upon the materials which are used as foundations that, in a general way, they are to be considered as secondary in importance, although as draperies they may be styled par excellence. Stiff, starchy effects are to be strictly tabooed unless it be the translucence of swiss or organdie. Stripes and large patterns in lace or silk are failures, big broacades or plaids something to make one weep, especially the photographer who foresees a demand for second sittings when the proofs are shown. Velvet and fine furs are especially happy selections, and such accessories as a handsome opera cloak or long ostrich fan are deemed happy adjuncts with full dress. Gloves should always be worn with street toilets which include a hat, but since a glace glove would be shiny, one of undressed kis is far better. With very light colors the hand should always be lifted or placed against a background darker than itself since the pink dress will naturally take darker than the light fabrie. Jewelry adds much to an evening dress, especially in the way of ornaments about the top of a low-cut corsage. Pearls photograph exquisitely made-up jewelry, in necklaces or long chains, which may be brought up and knotted once or festooned from a single ornament in front of the corsage.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. MISS VIVIAN SARTORIS: Gen. Grant's Charming Granddaughter to Be Married to a Rich Young New Yorker. An engagement which, though not formally announced, is acknowledged by both families, is that of Miss Vivian Sartoris and Timothy Nichols, of New York city. Miss Sartoris is the elder daughter of Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, and is one of the belles of Washington. Mr. Nichols is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Gillman Nichols, of New York city, and is a popular young clubman of the metropolis. The attachment between the young people dates from two years ago. MISS VIVIAN SARTORIS. MISS VIVIAN SARTORIS. (Granddaughter of Gen. Grant, Who Is Soon to Be a Bride.) when they met at the international yacht races. Mr. Nichols has been an ardent lover, and it is stated by his close friends that the wedding will take place some time this year, and that the engagement will be formally announced as soon as the date of the marriage is settled. Miss Sartoris is a tall, graceful brunette, and bears little resemblance to the Grant family. She has been a belle of two capitals, London and Washington, and has counted her admirers by the score. It is a subject of much congratulation to her family that she has chosen an American. Her venerable grandmother, Mrs. U. S. Grant, is especially well pleased, as it was a great grief when her daughter married an Englishman. She was not filled with enthusiasm when her namesake and granddaughter, Julia Dent Grant, wedded a Russian, even if he was a prince. Care of the Eyeglasses Spectacles and eyeglasses are much benefited by a bath now and then—mice a mere wiping or rubbing with chamois or tissue paper, but a real good bath. The process is simple. Have a basin of warm water, a cake of soap, and a soft tooth or nail brush; put the glasses into the basin and leave them to soak for a little while, then apply soap freely and rub off with a brush. After this give them a polish with any ordinary tooth powder, and finally clean them with tissue paper. Occasionally a few drops of ammonia in the water in which they are given the bath will be found excellent. A Severe Aggression "I reckon our boy Josh must be reg'lar genius," said Farmer Corr tossel.

Dot friendly calls, yet off, across the way between our homes, we friendly greetings say, And ask of mutual cares that fill each day. When by some kindly chance, Each meets an answering glance. A cheerful life speaks through each window pane From morning light till slumber falls again Upon the home, and, passing in and out, The children dance with merry bound and shout. And slower feet, that ever go about Each the appointed way Of duty day by day. Gentle of heart and full of kindly cheer my good neighbor; blest to know her near, And feel assured her welcome waits for me It, then touch the busy day, an moment free From care I find, so I can go and be Close to her pleasant smile And sweet low voice a while. The tones of late have held a harmony, A deeper music than the melody. Of daily life—while one goes went Out from that home, one whom the Fa- ther sent As strength and stay for her; in one were blent Their lives through joy and pain; He went—nor came again! But for the loved ones left she walks her way Of kindly life, with cheer from day to day; Yet in her smile there seems a distant gaze As she saw the "parting of the ways" Of lifelong feath, and in her voice, the lays That heavenly lays repeat Give earthly echo sweet. They close her blinds! They drape beside her door The green fronds so short a time be- fore They placed for him she loved; she doth not stand Now weeping by his bier, but, hand in hand They walk together in that heavenly land Where "entered into rest" They live, forever blest! I look across, and brush away the tear That speaks my loss. Let not the shadow, heard The homes she left, bereaved, hide from our sight glimpse of her dear smile, now full of light For votes in packings clear: →Isidor D. French, in Boston Transcript. The ELECTRICAL ROBBERY By PHILIP MIGHELS. SAY, you fellers can talk about your highwaymen and your road agents and your train robberies and your "hold ups" generally, but they ain't any of them in it with the one I was fortunate enough to see. Did I say fortunately?—well, it's all the same—it was fortunate some ways, but boys, say, the novelty and engenuity of that thing was worth 500 and a gold watch any day. That's what. Right out there in California. Oh, I tell you California is a great country—biggest oranges, biggest apples, biggest watermelons—say, I've seen a watermelon as big as a yearling self—and girls—um—the prettiest girls you ever saw; the most flowers, biggest roses, and the most enterprising, bold, inventive and all-round champion road agents on earth. I was out there a little less than a year ago, travelin' for the same house—been with 'em now for five years and they're stuck on me yet. Why I can sell their goods in a graveyard; say, I can just sell those lines in Philadelphia; oh! it's a great house! I sold things all over the state of California. Nothin' like knowin' how. But, as I was sayin', I was covering California; had just been in Arizona, Nevada, Utah and New Mexico. Say, that Arizona is a great country. Bova HE HAD A GREAT SYSTEM. are great lads, free and easy, no formality, no stiffness. Well, I got up to Redside, Redlands or Red something, and stayed over a day. Friend gave me tip on some business at Yellow Dog Gulch and I decided to go over there. Guess you never went to Yellow Dog Gulch. Well, you're just as well off. Nice climate, lots of air, scenery just lay around loose everywhere, but the toughest basken you ever saw. Mining amp—just a plains little mining camp, that's all. Few stores and $3 saloons. Congenial, though—everybody's congenial. We went to Yellow Dog Gulch in a stage. Hard to; no railroads there. Drive through about 50 miles of canyon, ravine, little meadows, chunks of forest, all along hillsides, all that sort of thing. Fine, when it ain't too dusty. Stage packs bullion out from Yellow Dog Gulch mines every week. Not so very much, 'bout $10,000 to $20,000 worth. I guess, or a little more or less, mostly gold. The bloomin' route went to such an out-of-the-way camp that nobody ever thought it was of much importance, so nobody ever held up the stage and they got careless—no messenger, no shotguns, no anything. I climbed up on the box with the driver when we left the Gulch, an' I wasn't sorry to leave, for that benzine was awful, though I did make some good sales; as I said, I can make sales in a sheep pasture or anywhere. That's what. When I got that driver to talkin' he just limbered up and gave me more pointers about hold ups than anybody could. He's been on a dozen stage lines an' had half of his left ear shot off an' a bullet in his shoulder; game, though, game as they make 'em. He could tell the best stories about road agents you ever heard; why, he told me stories for about two hours. One was a corker, yes, sir, a corker; lone man held up two stages at once where they met an'—but I'll tell you that some other time. We, well went up a stretch of hill an' everybody got out of the coach exceptin' two women to walk an' ease up their legs an' get the air. Four men besides me an' the driver. The men were mostly strangers in California; been to Yellow Dog Gulch on business an' glad to get away again, same's me. When we got on top of the hill the "GOSH, HOW HE DID GO!" men climbed in again and we bowled along lively for quite a patch. Driver slowed the horses up around a bend where a bunch of willows or alders or chapparal or something grew close to the road, an' just as we turned the corner we came bang up against a man with a double-barreled cannon up against his shoulder. The man looked at us over the sight and says: "Stop her. Throw up your hands and climb down." Well, I never climbed down with my hands up in the air before, but it comes easy when you get used to it. We came down without waiting to discuss any tariff questions. The folks in the coach came spilling out like peas running out of a gourd—couldn't get out fast enough. When I got on the ground I noticed out of the corners of my eyes a queer machine by the side of the road, like a tricycle or something. I say the corners of my eyes, because I was using the middle of them to see that Mr. Highwayman didn't think I was hostile. Don't pay to be hostile when you’re "held up"—just be calm and generous an' undeceiving—don't try to keep anything back, but your feelings. When we were all out and down, with our hands up, Mr. Man lined us up an' says: "Ladies and gentlemen, you will confer a great favor upon me by moving over out of the road, to that machine which you will observe near by." We all went because the request was so reasonable and polite. I always do like a highwayman to be a gentleman, a polite gentleman. When we were near the machine the gentleman desired us, in lovely language, to take hold of the long iron bar on top of the tricycle. No sooner did we all have hold of that thing than Mr. Road Agent just turned a jolt of electricity into it that nearly lifted us off our feet. By jinks! he hit us hard! Storage battery affair, see? The women screened and the men yelled-all but me and the driver, but we didn't let go—no, we didn't let go—we couldn't. We just hung on for dear life, and that nice, gentlemanly fellow dispassionately laid down his cannon an' went through our pockets for himself—systematically, too. Oh, he had a great system. He found one or two pistols, which he unloaded an' flung out in the brush, but he was careful to keep all the watches and money. I noticed that. He gave me back three St. Louis beer checks, though, which was square; no use to him, anyhow. After our pockets were cleaned out, the gentleman climbed onto the stage and got down the treasure box himself, not troublin' anybody to help him. Course, we were hangin' on all this time and feelin' numb and paralyzed with the bloomin' electricity. Bymby he got everything in the crowd which was worth havin', resumed his cannon an' turned off the current of electricity. Some of the passengers just slumped right down - done up-felt a little queer myself, not very much, but still a little. Driver couldn't climb on the box for half an hour. Mr. Robber just moved us away from that machine, jumped onto her, turned on his everlasting powerful electricity an' away he sailed on the thing, like a train of cars. Goal! How he did go! Taken a streak of chain lightning to have caught him. No use talking, boys, this here electricity is getting into everything - going to supplant everything, can't stop her, can't stop these modern impr- ements- that's what. A. Diffraction.

HOW SHE SAVED IT Miss Della Jones of Calvert, Tex., Relates an Interesting Experience. Used a Free Trial Package of a Remedy and the Result Was Wonderful. Nothing can be more unfortunate to a lady than to lose her hair. To see it gradually getting thinner and thinner and the bald spot growing larger and larger day by day is apt to cause melan choly and be a cause of taking cold and serious sickness. Miss Delia Jones, prominent in Calvert. Tex., colored society was having serious trouble with her hair but fortunately saw the notice of of the celebrated Foso treatment. She sent for a free trial package and says: "It affords me the greatest pleasure to say that everything regarding the treatment is just as represented. I had no need of it, since it costs nothing to try I used it and then I saved and restored to its original growth. Am very much pleased to recommend such a valuable and remarkable treatment. The remedy also cures itching and dandruff, sure signs of approaching baldness and keeps the scalp healthy and vigorous. It also restores gray hair to natural color and produces thick and lustrous eyebrows and eyelashes. By sending your name and address to the Althenheim Medical Dispensary, 2811 Butterfield Building, Cincinnati, Ohio, enclosing a 2-cent stamp to cover postage, they will mail you prepaid a free trial of their remarkable remedy.

MARTH, the world renowned and highly celebrated business and test Medium reveals everything. No imposition. Can be counsulted 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 priceATER you; you may read more gain facts without nonense. You can be consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love,ship. Marragele Friends. ete. with description of future companion She is very accustomed to describing missing friends, enmits business, law suits journeys, contest ed wills, divorce and speciation is valuable and reliable She reads your destiny—good or bad; she withhold nothing. MRS. MARTH tells your entire life past, and present in a DEAD TRANSE, 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 children you have or will have; whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart she will tell you when you will have and his name, the date of acquaintance. All your future clean and plain manners and de trance. Mother's should know the name 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 knew all, do not let silly religion encycloped prevent your consulting. Madame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL, MADB 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 able to study human 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 of a person's Medium, it is the art used by many unprincipled mediums, but to take hold or 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 writing it, Marth the seeming mystery be a realization. This subject has made little attention by eminent men and even college professors. So it proves conclusively that although thore are infringers in our midst with ely 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 untiring effort, the key to the well of apparently unfathomable 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. M. MRS. M. B. MARTH. 246 W. 81st St., (near 8th Ave.) New York City. Enclose stap for reply.

It costs about $450,000 @ year tc maintain the poor in Wisconsin. About 15,000 marriages occur annual ly in Wisconsin, 30,000 births and £2, 000 deaths. There are'19 colleges, academies and semivaries in Wisconsin, having a total attendance of 3,005. Wisconsin ranks second in the list of cheese producing states, coming second to New Yorks, In the 858 banks of all kinds in Wis consin the resourees on December 13, 1900, were $227,589,216.72, ‘There are 7,242 school buildings tn Wisconsin, with a seating capacity of 524,192, There were in these buildings 2403 male and 10,660 female teachers employed. Orasmus Cole, who was elected to congress from the Second district in 1848, and Daniel Wells, Jr., who was elected in the First district in 1850, are Doth alive and residents of Milwaukee. When Wisconsin was admitted as a state in 1848 the new state was allowed two members of congress. In 1849 the number was increased to three, in 1861 to six, in 1871 to eight, in 1881 to nine, in 1801 to ten and in 1901 fo 11. ‘The total number of persons em- ployed annually in the woods of Wis. Sonsin is about 13,000, and the monthly ‘wages vary from $108 to $24. Of this number 2,200 men are employed at log driving and are patd wages which vary trom $1.40 to $3 a day. FOREIGN FACTS OF INTEREST. In the year 1899 the number of boys born in France was 432,330, ef girls, 415,201. Berlin is to have a school for coach- men, in which drivers are to be taught how to get along im the crowded city streets. Norwegian legislators Propose that girls who do not know how to knit, sew, ‘Wash and cook shall be refused permis. sion to marry. Danghters of wealthy men are not to be excepted.

RICHMOND VIRGINIA. aaa UNIQUE TITLES OF RAILROADS | of which the obligations ineurrea by] ae A Texas road, the Kansas City, Beaumont & Gulf, is merely called Kaysee, cutting off the last part of ft. Sap is short and sweet. It has been contracted from S. A. P., mean- ing San Antonio & Arkansas Pass, one of the principal lines in Texas. Because a little road up in Nova Beotia with the ponderous title of the Dominion & Atlantic reached the land made faiftous in Longfellow’s poem tourists have given it the title of the Evangeline road, and perhaps this is more appropriate than the other, It is certainly more pictur- esque. Down in Texag and the neighbor- ing states they have a habit of handling the railroads without gloves when it comes to giving names. A favorite plan is to take the princi- pal initials of a road and spell them out, Only a native of the southwest- ern ranches would know that Pee Gee stands for the Kansas City, Pitts- burg & Gulf road. A little road in Mississippi, the Chester, Perryville, Sainte Genevieve & Farmttizton, had Me Wrigest title of any in America. This contains no fewer than 43 letters, but two other lines are tlose to it, the Richmond, Nicholasville, Irvine & | Beattyville ‘and the Southwestern, Arkansas & Indian Territory. ‘The Chester line ‘only 27 miles long. Only one man has had the honor of having his name used in connec- tion with one of the largest systems. The late Henry, M. Plant has a mon- ument in the Plant Railway and Steamship company. He started the system which has expanded from a few miles until it extends through Georgia, Florida and Alabama, repre- senting in all 2,000 miles, not includ- dng several steamship lines. OF CHURCH INTEREST. ‘There are 618 Catholic priests in ac- tive service in Wisconsin. Australia has 6,100 churches, 210 for every 10,006 sf her population. Last year there were 61,570 pupils in the Catholic parochial schools in Mas- sachusetts, It is estimated that there are now 23,000,000 communicants of Presby- terian churches. A feature of some 50 Congregational churches are men’s clubs which aim to keep up good fellowship and secure concerted action on matters of munici- pal reform. ‘The remarkable longevity of the So- elety of Friends has been fully sus- tained during the last year, the aver- ‘age age at death from 1 to 100 years in the United Kingdom being 61 years % months and 7 days. Two members (both females) were over 100. Gen. Booth, being asked with others: “What in your opinion is the chief dan- ger, social or political, that confronts the coming century?” replied: “Tam ef opinion that the chief dangers which confront the coming century ‘will be religion without Holy Ghost; Christianity without Christ; fongive- Ress without repentance; salvation without regeneration; politics without God; and Heaven without hell.” | COLLEGE ATHLETICS. The University of Pennsylvania ts trying to raise $4,000 to send its erew to Henley to compete against Oxford and Cambridge. ‘Thirty-five of the 2,650 students of Yale university responded to a call for a mass meeting to pass on rules for the eligibility of athletes, The thirty-five made the rules for 900 Baseball, football and track men.

T, qive his baseball men the “good eye” Coach, Stagg, of the University of Chicago, has his candidates turn their backs to the batsmen and turn quickly around. when they hear the bat hit the ball, It requires much action on the part of the candidate, and brijliant one-hand stops were a feature of the practice. SCIENTIFIC DATA, ‘The male mosquitoes do not bite, but live on the juices of flowers and plants. In the pupa state the Hessian fly can scarcely be distinguished from a flax- seed. ‘The ggeater part of the earth's crust, the water and the alr, consists of but few elements. Oxygen forms one- half by weight, silicon a quarter; aluminum, iron, calcium, magnesium. sodium and potassium form 23 per eent., leaving about two per cent, for all the other elements. One of the chiet governing instincts among wild birds is the sense of fear. ‘This feeling of fear is not apparent in birds until ten or twelve days after birth. All perching birds acquire the instinct of fear at from eight to ten days after birth, and this instinct be- ‘comes the controlling factor inthe sub- sequent experiences of the bird, being either lessened -or increased by cir- cumstances. PEOPLE ON THE STAGE. Mme. Bernhardt bas played 112 dit- ferent roles. Bertha Galland, now in the support of James K. Hackett, will be placed at the head of her own company by Dan- iel Frohman next season. “It's queer how the uninitiated think the malady called stage fright is pe- cullar to novices,” says an actor of long standing. “As « matter of fact, the oljer players sometimes have it worse than do the new ones ia the pro- fession.” ’ FACTS ABOUT STATE DEBTS. ‘Texas, Kentucky and West Virgin- ta have small debts, In 1900. the debt of Mlinois was $1,184,000; iowa, $245,000; Montana, $167,000; Nebraska, $253,000; Nevada, 01,0005, Cattornla: Gusts.

In 1800 only 4 per cent. of the people ‘of the United States lived in cities. To- day 30 per cent. live in cities. Within the century the population of the world has doubled. ‘The population of the United States has been multi- plied by 14. President Jefferson presided over a country of 900,000 square miles; Presi+ dent McKinley presides over a country ‘of 3,602,090 square miles, There were in the whole United States a century ago 1,002,037 negroes, whereas the number of them to-day is about 8,000,000, Though they have multiplied so largely, the proportion they bear to the white population is only about two-thirds what it was in 1800. The territory northwest of the Ohio fm 1800 gave returns of a population numbering 45,365; Mississippi territory reported 8,850, and Indiana territory 4,875. In New York state were enumer- ated 20,613 siaveo; in New Jersey 12,- 422 slaves, and in Pennsylvania 1,706 slaves, HERE, THERE AND ELSEWHERE ‘The area of Venezuela is larger than all Europe, leaving out Russia, Some time ago German post offices were established in the cities of Smyrna, Beyroot and Jerusalem, in Asiatic Turkey. Among the queer episodes in this year's unusually severe winter in aouthern countries was a foot deep fall of snow at Jerusalem in January. ‘The savings banks of Australasia, as Detweem 1871 and 1808, showed ‘in- creases in the number of depositors of 811 per cent., and in the amount of de- posits of 766 per cent. The British colonies comprising Aus- tralasia possess between them the {m- mense area of 3,000,000 square miles, nearly aa large as that of British North America, and more than three times as large a that of British India, ODDS AND ENDS.

Uncle Sam still paddles his own canoe, but in these Gays paddles are expensive. Greencastle (Ind.) women who in- vaded a saloon and began to sing hymns were routed by the production of the section of the law which forbids music in saloons. A man in western Kansas keeps ten others at work digging snake root and rosinweed from the prairies for the @rug trade. In the past 18 months he has shipped 95,000 pounds, some of it to Europe, Municipal and county debte have been increasing in the United States so rapidly of recent years asto furnish a theme for the moralizing of reform- ers. State debts, on the other hand, through the skillful management of those in charge of the financial ar- rangements of the various states, have been either decreased or entirely ex- tinguishd, EDUCATION ABROAD. ‘In the year ending March, 1900, the number of boys and girls "educated free in Berlin was 207,510, Among the 2,754 students at the Uni- versity of Edinburgh last year there ‘Were 252 women and 168 students were trom India. ‘The schools of Vienna are to hare medical attention.

Prof. Lyle, of the University of Mel- bourne, urges that a professor of mill- tary science in that university ehould be appointed and that instruction should be made compulsory on all male students who are British ubjects and not physically unfit. In this way, he says, all the advantages of a militery college in Melbourne would be gained at a small expense.

Portsmouth, Va., March 22.—The home of Tobe White, a well known colored farmer in Western Branch district, Norfolk county, was destroyed and two of his children burned to death this afternoon. The fire was caused by the children, who lighted paper in the fireplace and applied the blaze to the paper on the walls. Murfreeboro, Tenn., March 25.—Miss Eliza Burrus, a well known young woman of this community, committed suicide Saturday. She saturated her clothing with coal oil and set fire to it.

No harm as yet come to the Schneider home, although the demands were not compiled with. Glenville, W. Va., March 22.—The overflow of the great Copley oil well and other gushers in the Sand Fork field has tainted the water of the creek and through it the waters of the Little Manawha river, so that thousands of fish have died the last four months, and those that remain are not fit to eat. Sportsmen along the stream, and on other streams in the state similarly affected, have applied to the state fishery commissioner to prosecute those responsible for polluting the waters. While in the case of the Copley well the oil was uncontrollable, there is great carelessness in other quarters. Norfolk, March 24.—Pocohontas coal is going in large quantities to Bermuda for the use of the British warships, as well as for the local trade. The demand for the coal is greater than can be supplied just at this time. Coal in Bermuda has advanced from $3 and $4 ton to $12. The unprecedented increase in coal ton was due to the large number of vessels bound for New York and New England ports which through stress of weather were obliged to put into Bermuda to replenish the depleted coal bunkers. So great was the number that coal dealers were obliged to advanced the price until now $2 per ton is the figure. Petersburg, Va., March 24.—The trial of Thomas M. Gilliam for the alleged betrayal of Miss Nannie Sterne, which has occupied the attention of the county court of Prince George county for the past nine days, was concluded last night.

The case has exited much interest in this section. Gilliam is about 45 years, and before the alleged offense was committed was a prominent merchant. Miss Sterne is about 13 years of age, and a daughter of a well known baker. Milner Contemplates Resigning. London, March 27—The Dally Express prints a rumor that Sir Alfred Milner is dissatisfied with his qualified authority and has asked the government to give him "either a free hand or no hand." Mr. Chamberlain is said to have replied that it would not be advised to dissociate the authority of Sir Alfred Milner from that of Lord Kitchener, and the rumor goes that Sir Alfred contemplates resigning an open secret," says The Dally Express, "that Sir Alfred Milner has long chafed at having Lord Kitchener at his elbow to check or modify his proposals." The Brute. "Which proves," said the laudability, concluding her discourse, "that there are other ways to kill a dog besides choking it with butter." "Yes," the rash boarder agreed, "in some cases it might be just as effective to make the poor brute smell the butter."—Leslie's Weekly. Reasonable. Mrs. Hoon—I have read an item which declares that insanity can often be cured by music. Mr. Hoon—The theory is a probable one, I should say. The average amateur cornetist would throw the ordinary lunatic into fits, and almost any physician can cure fits.—Puck. Looking Forward "And he was always so courteous to the customers!" sighed the bank manager, referring to the missing teller. Firm Believer. "Tommy, does your father believe in flannels?" "Yessum!
