THE RICHMOND PLANET VOL. XIX NO. 30 ASSAULTED IN SENATE Mr. Bailey Made a Vicious Attack on Mr. Beveridge. RESULT OF SHARP CONTROVERSY Texas Senator Seized Beveridge By the Threat With Both Hands, and When Dragged Away By Onlookers Made a Threat About Killing. Washington, July 1.—Senator Bailey, of Texas, assaulted Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, last night just after the senate had adjourned from executive session. The Texas senator was dragged away and separated from his opponent by some of those about the senate. He was very angry and threatened severe harm to the Indiana senator. The episode was the result of a heated controversy which the two senators had during the afternoon, when Senator Beveridge had said that Senator Bailey had made "an unwarranted attack" on Solicitor Penfield, of the state department. In executive session Senator Beveridge, like other senators who spoke, lighted a cigar and took a seat on the Republican side. He was still sitting there when the senate adjourned. Senator Bailey crossed the aisle and walked through the seats until he was facing Senator Beveridge. "Beveridge," he said, "I don't want to have any trouble with you, but I want you to withdraw those words which charge me with making an unwarranted attack upon Penfield." "I didn't intend to insult you," replied Senator Beveridge, "and there is nothing in my language that you could consider offensive." "I don't allow any one to say that I libel a man, and that is what you do in making the charge. Now, if you won't withdraw the words when I ask you I'm going to make you withdraw them." Senator Bailey had been getting more and more angry and excited as he talked. He had been sitting down part of the time or leaning against the desk immediately in front of Senator Beveridge. The latter, in reply to Senator Bailey's last remark, still remaining in his chair, said: "I repeat that I did not intend to insult you, and that I have nothing to retract." As those words were uttered Senator Bailley threw himself upon Senator Beveridge, who is a man hardly up to the average in physique, and seized him by the throat with both hands. The rush was so sudden and fierce that the chair in which Mr. Beveridge was sitting was pushed back against a desk and the desk was toppled over. Before the assault could go any further senators who had been sitting near had moved up between the desks. Senator Hansbrough, of North Dakota, seized Senator Bailey by one arm and Senator Spooner seized the other. The Texas senator is a powerful man, and it was with great difficulty that the two senators were able to drag him away from Senator Beveridge, and when they succeeded a part of the Indiana senator's neckwear was ripped and torn away in the vigorous grasp of Senator Bailey. Senator Bacon, of Georgia, and Barney Layton assistant doorkeeper, came quickly forward and assisted in pulling the Texas senator further away. Senator Bailey meanwhile struggling to get free and lunging toward Senator Beveridge. As he was removed a little distance he was heard to utter something like a threat about killing. Without further effort, however, he walked away when Senator Bacon urged him to be quiet and led him toward the Democratic side. Senator Bacon engaged Senator Bailey in conversation for some time, advising him to cool down. Senator Spooner also went across the alley and discussed the matter with the Texas senator, arguing him to apologize and if possible fix it up at once, but Senator Bailey refused all such proffers, declaring that Senator Beveridge had insulted him in the senate and that he had taken the only course left, as the Indiana senator had refused to withdraw his remarks. Senator Beveridge remained in the chamber for some little time and continued to smoke his cigar. He remarked to those who spoke to him on the subject that, it did not amount to anything. He made no effort to resist or resent the attack made on him. In fact, the whole thing was over in a very brief interval before much resistance could have been offered. Mr. Beveridge last night denied that he had been choked by Mr. Bailey. According to his version, the Texas senator had made a lunge at him, but his arm was caught by Senator Spooner before the threatened blow landed. Wages Six Cents a Day. Vienna, July 1.—A great strike among the agricultural workers in Galicia is in progress. The strikers desire an increase of the present wages of six cents for men and three cents for women per day, to double that amount. Rioting by the discontented workers is general, and troops have been called out and are now occupying thirteen villages. Want Cleveland On the Stump. New York, June 30.—Some Tammany leaders have been so impressed by the speech which ex-President Cleveland made at the Tilden Club that they intend to request him to speak in the support of the state Democratic ticket in New York city just before election. Memorial to Cecil Rhodes. London, July 2.—At a meeting held at the Mansion House yesterday, under the presidency of the lord mayor, it was decided to erect in London a national memorial to the late Cecil Rhodes. IMPORTING COAL Steamship Company Will Not Pay High Failure Costs By Shift High Prices Caused By Strike. Philadelphia, July 1.—The announcement is made that a steamship of 4,500 tons capacity has been chartered to load coal at Cardiff for Philadelphia. This movement is taken as indicating the unwillingness of steamship companies to pay the prices now demanded for bunker coal at this port, owing to the miners' strike. This, it is said, will be the first cargo of British coal ever brought to Philadelphia, and other shipments will follow unless the strike is adjusted soon. The vessel chartered is one that has secured outward business from Philadelphia and carries back the cargo of coal merely in lieu of ballast. Her name has not been made public. 8ewell Died a Millionaire New York, June 30.—The late united States Senator William J. Sewell, of New Jersey, left an estate valued at $1,373,050, according to an appraisement just made under the laws of the state of New York. The value of his personal property in this state is fixed at $62,690. He left no real estate here. From the estate $35,475 will have to be deducted, including $5,400 for funeral expenses and expenses of administration, and $3,000, the estimated commissions of the executors. Ground to Pieces On Railroad Norfolk, Va., June 30.—An unknown man created a row on the last train from Virginia Beach Saturday night and was put off by the conductor. He then fired twice into a crowd on the platform, but hit no one. As the train pulled out he jumped upon a rear truck, and yesterday morning his mangled body was found on the track about five miles from Norfolk. The supposition is that he fell from the truck and was ground to pieces. WOMAN SENDS MINERS $10.000 Mrs. Stone Hopes They Win Fight Against Operators. New York, July 2.—The striking coal miners have received $10,000 from Mrs Montgomery Stone, widow of the iron king, Sebastian Stone. In a statement she says: "The strikers ought to win their strike. Their work is dangerous in the extreme, and it should be well paid for. I am convinced that they have right with them. I might send them a message to the effect that I sympathized with them and hoped they would win, but this would put no bread in the mouths of their starving wives and children." Soft Coal Strike Dwindling. Bluefield, W. Va., July 2.—The coal strike is dwindling and more coal is being loaded each day. Eleven miners and agitators were arrested yesterday at Simmons by Corstable C. A. Bailey for intimidating miners desiring to work, and were lodged in the Bluefield jail last evening. One striker was arrested for attempting to shoot Jenkins Jones, a mine operator, in the back. Seven Ladrones Killed Manila, June 30.—A detachment of United States marines and a force of the native constabulary have had an engagement with a large body of ladrones in Morong province, Luzon. One marine and seven ladrones were killed. The President's Fourth Washington, July 2. The last cabinet meeting of the summer was held yesterday by President Roosevelt and his advisors in the temporary White House. Tomorrow afternoon the president will leave for Pittsburgh to take part in the Fourth of July celebration at Shenley Park and to be the guest of honor at several functions during the afternoon and evening. Notable among these will be the luncheon to be given by Henry C. Frick, the steel magnate, and the dinner tendered the president by Attorney General Knox at Shenley Park Hotel in the evening. President Roosevelt and his party will leave Pittsburg at 3 a. m. next day for Washington as first planned, and then go directly to his home in Oyster Bay, L. L, there to remain until he begins his several speech-making tours in the latter part of August. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1902. CONGRESS ADJOURNED Wild Scene of Enthusiasm Took Place in House. STORMY DEBATE IN THE SENATE At Last Moment of Its Existence Congress Approved Conferences' Reports On Phillipine and Naval Bills—Sang Patriotic Songs. Washington, July 2.—Amid a scene of enthusiasm that has not been paralleled since the exciting and stirring days of the Spanish war, Speaker Henderson at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon declared the house of representatives adjourned without day. In doing so he said that no house of representatives since the adoption of the Constitution had done so much work as this one. The audience to which he made his brief adress was a brilliant one. The galleries were banked to the doors, and almost two-thirds of the members were in their seats on the floor. The speaker's appreciative words to the members in thanking them for their co-operation during the session had touched a responsive chord and they gave him a remarkable demonstration of their friendship and good will. While the cheering and applause were still in progress the members on the floor began singing "My Country, 'Tis of Thee." It was taken up by the correspondents in the press gallery over the speaker's chair and by the spectators in the surrounding galleries, and soon the vast hall was ringing with the swelling chorus. Other patriotic airs followed as the members exchanged farewells, theStar Spangled Banner" alternating with "Dixie." The speaker came down from his nostrum, his appearance on the floor being greeted with "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," and a perfect rush of members to grasp his hand. Standing in the area in front of the clerks' desk he, too, joined in the songs, and there was a wild scene when General Hooker, of Mississippi, the old one-armed Confederate veteran, took his place by the side of the speaker, and together they sang "Dixie." Mr. Chandler, a Mississippi Democrat, jumped upon a desk and let out a yell of jubilation that fairly shook the rafters. For almost an hour the jubilation continued. All this time the spectators remained standing in the galleries, watching the animated scene below and joining in the singing. The adjournment came at the end of seven and a half hours' session, during which much minor business was transacted. In all 70 bills and resolutions were passed. The general good feeling in the house had been heightened by the victory won over the senate on the item in the naval appropriation bill for the building of a battleship in a government yard. In the Senate. After a session marked by some of the stormiest debates ever heard in the American congress, the senate adjourned sine die at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The conference report on the Philippine government bill was adopted without very serious opposition, and then when the desks of the senate were cleared for adjournment, Mr. Carmack called up his resolution providing for a continuance of the investigation of the Philippine committee and for a visit to the Philippine islands by the committee during the present summer. This started the trouble, and for more than an hour a battle of words was waged. Mr. Spooner delivered a scathing denunciation of the minority of the Philippine committee for what he declared was an attack upon the American army. Mr. Carmack denied that any attack had been made upon the army, and declared that any fool could charge such a calumny and any parrot could be taught to repeat it. The resolution was referred to a committee, thus effectually killing it. Just before adjournment the usual resolutions were adopted, including one offered by Mr. Cockrell, the venerable Democrat from Missouri, cordially thanking President Pro Tempore Frye for "the dignified, impartial and courteous manner in which he had presided over the deliberations of the senate." Just before the senate adjourned finally, Senator Allison, chairman of the committee on appropriations, presented a statement showing the total appropriations for the session by bills as follows: Agriculture, $5,208,960; army, $91,- 530,136; diplomatic and consular, $1,- 957,925; District of Columbia, $8,647, 526; fortifications, $7,298,955; Indian, $9,143,902; legislative, etc., $26,398,31; military academy, $6,627,324; navy, $78,678,963; pension, $139,842,230; post office, $138,416,598; river and harbor, $26,726,442 (exclusive of contracts authorized); sundry civil, $60,125,359; de- The National Negro Business Lodge with this city August 26th, and 27th, 1908.

WAS FOUND DEAD ON ROADWAY It Is Believed Victim Was Killed During a Night Attack On Mine—Foreigners Made Threats, and Sheriff Was Called to Preserve Order. Wilkebarre, Pa., July 2.—The William A. colliery of the Leigh Valley Coal Company, at Old Forge, was the scene of a shooting affray early yesterday morning which resulted in the death of one man. The victim was an Italian laborer, Anthony Guisippe. He had only been in this country about nine months. When the miners' strike was declared he went out with the other laborers. He had not been seen in the vicinity of Old Forge for some weeks past. At an early hour yesterday morning a peddler discovered his dead body lying in the roadway just outside of the barricade of the William A. colliery. There was a bullet wound in his throat. A doctor who examined the body said death was undoubtedly instantaneous. The coroner of Lackawanna county was notified and gave a permit for the removal of the remains to Seranton. The coal and iron policemen at the William A. colliery have had some narrow escapes ever since they went on duty. Only last Friday a number of sticks of dynamite were thrown over the fence surrounding the colliery, with a view of blowing up the colliery office and the guards. Fortunately, the explosive was discovered before it did any damage. In the stillness of the night shots were fired through the fence at the special officers. One of the policemen exhibits a coat where a bullet passed through one night last week. Monday night firing at the guard was renewed. It is though that the men behind the barricade responded and the Italian fell dead from a bullet fired from a Winchester. The friends of the dead man claim he was an innocent victim. Their version is that he was walking in the roadway near the colliery fence when he received a bullet intended for another. When the coroner completes his investigation some of the deputies employed at the colliery may be placed under arrest. There was much indignation among the foreign residents over the shooting, and they made all sorts of threats. The guard at the colliery was doubled last night, and Sheriff Schadt aweed in a special posse to preserve order. When darkness came 1,000 people collected in the vicinity of the mine, and an attack would undoubtedly have been made on the guards had not the sheriff's posse kept the crowd in check. A telegram was sent from strike headquarters to President Mitchell in the west yesterday that there was no truth in the reports that the strikers were weakening. On the contrary, the situation was stated to be about the same as when he left, and that the miners were putting up a noble fight. Three of the big coal companies in this region now claim that they have all the engineers and pumpmen they need. The Delaware and Hudson Company has a surplus of engineers. There is no question but that the companies are gradually getting back a great many of the engineers and pumpmen who quit their services June 2. The firemen, however, are standing firm. Not a single fireman who went out in the Wyoming region has returned to work, and it is said that none have made application for work. RECOVERY A MATTER OF TIME King Edward's Condition Continues to Improve. London, July 1.—With the exception of the mention of a somewhat unsatisfactory condition of the operation wound, the official bulletin regarding the king's condition posted at Buckingham Palace yesterday, continues to be of the favorable tone of those issued for the past three days. The doctors are now hopeful of passing tomorrow without any untowards symptoms. If they succeed, the king will then be quite out of danger, and well on his way towards convalescence. Yesterday's bulletin is generally accepted as satisfactory, though the doctors' repeated mention of pain in the wound causes a certain uneasiness, as this is known to be the point where complications are most feared. The public, now that the immediate danger of complications is past, is concerned with the date of the coronation The London correspondent of the Birmingham Post says that from the time the king is out of danger—that if when the doctors ease to issue bullets—there will be three more months before the king will regain his usual health. It is possible that the coronation will occur in October, but whether it will be held then will depend upon the character the king desires to give the ceremonial. King Edward Still Improving. London, July 2—The steady progress of King Edward is fully maintained and his majesty takes light nourishment with keen enjoyment. He is allowed a light cigar a day. The following bulletin was posted at Buckingham Palace last night: "The advancement in the king's condition is maintained. His appetite is improving, and the dressing of his wound is less painful. His majesty is still easily fatigued on the least exertion." CHINAMAN ACCUSED OF MURDER Buffalo, N. Y., July 2.—Charley Wee, a Chinese laundryman, was arrested yesterday and held on an open charge in connection with the murder of Mary Murphy, a 6-year-old girl, who mysteriously disappeared on June 27, and whose body, bound with ropes and wrapped in newspapers and coarse cotton cloth, was found floating in a small pond in Forest Lawn Cemetery. The autopsy showed that the child had been outraged and strangled. Public feeling runs high, and all the Chinese laundries in the city have been closed and policemen stationed in front of them. Wee's place was thoroughly searched, and the police say they found ample evidence on which to hold the Chinaman. Pieces of rope similar to that on the body were found in the shop. In a room used by Wee as a bed chamber the police found blood-stained bed clothing. The wall behind the bed was bespattered with blood. A second Chinaman who was visiting Wee at the time the arrest was made was also taken into custody. INVENTED NEW LIGHTING GAS Discoverer Claims He Makes It From Air. Cleveland, O., June 30.—A gas that is cheaper than any other now in use, and which gives off a light exceeded in brilliance only by electricity. Is what Henry Soeader, of this city, claims to have discovered. Soeader is now using it to light his store and do the family cooking. He claims that he makes the gas from the air. Soeader has been working for years to perfect the invention, and he has been a thorough student of chemistry. A company has been formed to manufacture the gas. The gas, it is claimed, can be made without trouble by a person of no experience, and can be safely piped through the house. SHOT FRIEND IN BACK Williams J. English Fired Four Bullets Into F. J. Crowell. Atlantic City, N. J., July 2.—William J. English, 15 years old, of Germantown, Philadelphia, Pa., shot and seriously injured F. J. Crowell, said to be a church organist, on the meadows yesterday. Crowell is in the hospital with a bullet in the small of the back near the kidneys, another in the shoulder and one in the hand. At the hearing last night Recorder Babcoh held English without hall to await the result of the injuries inflicted. Crowell is still in the hospital, and unless blood poisoning sets in will recover. The motive for the crime was brought out last night by the police, who ascertained that on Monday night English had witnessed the receipt by Crowell of $40. Early yesterday morning English went to Crowell's boat house and is reported to have asked him to take him in his launch to a point on the meadows where he said he had concealed some goods which he said he had stolen from Edward M. Graham, of East Washington lane, Germantown. Crowell took him to Kisutch, and English, it is alleged, pointed out a house standing alone, and said: "I want to go there." The two left the boat, and Crowell led the way along a narrow path. English suddenly shot him in the back, the bullet luckily striking a suspender button and cawing but a flesh wound. Crowell turned and exclaimed: "My God, Will, what are you shooting at me for?" and in reply English fired four more shots, three of which took effect. Crowell did not fall, and English, seeing that his attempt at robbery had failed, tried to escape. Steel Trust's Earnings. New York, July 2.—A statement of net earnings of the United States Steel Corporation for the quarter ending June 30 was issued yesterday.

New Jersey Legininture tas Just Passed a Law Which All Other 7 gees Sawihlt Geek Through Senator Minch, our coun- cil has succeeded in getting a law passed by the New Jersey legisla- ture, on forest fires, A law that we urge all good citizens to understand and sustain. Friends of forests in other states may do well to seek similar legista- tion in their respective common- wwealths. Animal and plant life and health are so dependent on forest conditions, as influencing climate, that forestry is an interstate ques- tion, It ix also such a question in respect to streams for water power, and for navigation. For prevention of floods and the regulation of rain- fall. The rainfall section of it alone is one of many millions a year tc any one of the United States, It rain comes at the right time a farm- ser may clear say $300 @ year more than if not so coming. Every 10,006 such farmers in that state have $3,- 000,000 annually at stake. Similar figures apply to climate respecting saicknens. A citizen of a town, as “well ws im farmer, may lose $300 by sickness that would be prevented by wise forest regulation. Forest foli- age is the chief protection from ma- larial ‘enemies in the air; and the great dispenser of healthful oxygen. Forests are the main and practical- ly the only regulation of rainfall. Fire is the greatest of the many enemies to the forest. The person, or the corporation, starting such a fire should suffer severe penalties. To, this end our forest council has secured the passage of the law re- ferred to. We believe it to be one of the best ever enacted for this purpose, It will repay citizens to understand this law and sustain it. “The great work for good citizens, under it, is to secure investigation of forest fires, and see that each town- ‘ship committee selects a fire marshal. Local civil engineers are often the best men for marshals. Citizens of other states not hav. ing good laws protecting from for est fires should demand similar ac tion to that of New Jersey from their respective legislatures, and ther sustain the same.

Searctty of Hired Help. ‘The continued scarcity of hired help is not an unmixed evil. The in- evitable result must be machinery in- doors and out; better business prin- ciples will be applied; greater atten- tion given to that which is of most ‘worth, useless and unprofitable work dispensed with. When stern neces- sity compels one to rest from la- bor awhile, he will find that there is a deal of unprofitable and awkward work done indoors and out, and that many hours have been given to. toll that might better have been used in devising ways to accomplish the same end with less work.—Farm and Fire- side.

Much land is not well adapted to ‘froit trees, and crops other than ‘fruit trees may be more profitable “for market, but all summer and fall fruit should usually be grown on the farm, anyway.

THE YOUNGEST SPY. A Ten-Year-Old Confederate Sat Up- on @ Gate Post Four Days ‘end Deeded. Henry S. Garr, now deputy at the county jail, was one of the youngest spies in'the services on elther side in the war between the north and the south. At the age of ten Mr. Garr re- ceived his first instractions, says the Loujsville Courter-Journal. It was the year that the Louisville forts were built. The order for all able-bodied men of certain ages to assist in the construction of the forte had been issued and many southern sympathizers were looking about for some way to evade the edict. Judge 8. A. Garr, father of the dep- uty jeiler, openly declared that he would do no work for the soldiers from the north. He also declared that his negroes should not help to build the forts, and the officer in comand of tht federal troops heard of it. A squad of soldiers was dispatched at double- quick time to the Garr homestead, which was within 100 yards of Western Park. When the soldiers arrived, they found ‘@ barefooted boy sitting upon a fence post, He was swinging his legs and whistling, as only some boys can. A lieutenant was in charge of the sol- diers, and he drew rein when he saw the boy. He inquired for Judge Garr. ‘The boy shook his head and answered that he did not know him. The soldiers passed. An hour later they returned, and the boy was still upon the gate post. All day the soldier. searched the woods, and all day the boy sat upon the gate post. The follow ing morning the soldieas returned, and again the boy was upon the gate post. “I sat there for about four days,” said Mr. Garr. “My father and sev- eral neighbors and all of theirnegroes ‘were hid in the woods, and by means of a signal code we were able to commu- nicate with one another. “Two or three men were stationed in the treetops. We all had white hand- kerchiefs.

Wooed, won and wedded within the short period of four weeks as the re- sult of a practical joke—this is the experience of Helena Schwartz, a pretty Jewess Of McKeesport, Pa. ‘The bride and her husband are now on their wedding tour in Europe, where they will spend @ short honey- moon at the girl's former home. | In addition to the general celebra- tion of the feast of Purim at the pafuogoyses-e aauaban of the-saost Prominent Hebrews of McKeesport arranged for a private celebration at the home of Samuel Firestone. Several of Mr. Firestone's intimate friends got their heads together and decided that the event would pass off more pleasantly i? some member of the party were made the victim of a practical joke. Lote were cast aa to who would be the victim and Mr. Max Friedman was selected. A mock marriage ceremony was ar- ranged and Mr. Friedman was request- ed to act as bridegroom. His friends assured him that he would hare a beautiful young woman to stand up with him during the mock ceremony and he readily consented toghe plans. | The details of the ceremony were carried out with great elaborateness. ‘Bridal flowers were ordered and trivial gifts were to be presented to help out the fun. Two or three days betore the ceie- bration Mr. Friedman became impa- tient ts learn the name of the pretty maiden who was to be his partner and insisted upon being presented to her.

Friedman's friends were at their wits’ ends until somebody suggested the propriety of introducing the vic- tim to Miss Schwartz, who had been making her home with Mr. Firestone for some time. Miss Schwartz at once entered into the spirit of the joke and consented to carry out her part. She met Mr. Friedman that evening and spent considerable time in his company. They met two or ‘three times after that before the evening of the celebration, and it was observed that Mr. Friedman was a ‘trifle more attentive to Miss Schwartz than the ethics of a mock ceremony seemed to require. On the evening of the proposed cele- bration Mr. Firestone’s home was bril- tiantly illuminated and crowded with friends whe had been “tipped off” re- garding the fun that was to come. The man who was to act the part of the bride had donned his female attire, and a heavy veil and everything was in readinem for the ceremony, when the guests were astounded by Mr. Fried- man's smiling announcement that he regretted very much to spoil the ar. rangements for the evening, but that no mock marriage would take place Instead, he delared, there would be 2 real engagement ceremony between himself and Mise Schwartz. Before the managers of the joke and the guests could fairly recover from their surprise, says the New York World, Mr. Friedman led Miss Schwartz into the room and asaked Rabbi Edelman to publicly hear thet: betrothal vows. A pretty ceremony was performed and a felicitous addres was made by the rabbi. Mr. Friedmat gave bia betrothed a beautiful en Ragement ring. ‘At the feast which followed, th whole story of the change in the cere mony wes told by the young couple Both confessed that it was a ease love at sight, and Mr. Friedman de clared that he at once determined t win Miss Schwartz, and, if possible, t have @ real ceremony, instead of : mockery. He succeeded in getting Miss Schwarte's promise to marry him | but she insisted upon three weeks time, at least, in which to get ready ] She agreed, however, to help him tur: | the tables on the practical jokers. || Mr. Friedman declared that he coul never thank his friends enough for se lecting him as the victim of their joke “It brought me the prettiest, sweates || Wetle wife in the world,” he said, “an she is a6 giad of the joke as I am.” ‘Child Widows ta India, In India there are 6,016,759 girls be- tween five and nine years of age who have been or are wives.

Why is suffering-crushing, agoniz ing hopeless—allowed in God's world: Why does it fall In numberless cases, 08 those who clearly do not deserve it: Why are some of the purest lives born into its shadow, and passed in pain: What useful efid Has ever been dTscov- ered for the most and worst of hu- man anguish? Why is this inex- plicable burden laid by an all-power- ful God on the weak shoulders of man? These questions will not down. The more the love of God is preached, and “His Fatherhood, the more insistent ‘they become. They are not asked by the skeptic or the mocker alone, but “by those who would believe if they could. Evolution cannot answer them any more than original sin eould Though Christian Sefence denies the very existence of suffering, it cannot remove the awful fixed fact of human Pain, What does such a fact mean iv the creation, if the Creator is all-lor. ing, all-seeing, all-powerful, and if man is the child of God? There is only one answer—the an swer of the cross. Why we suffer we do not know; but we know that Christ entering the life of the race, found an¢ accepted this fixed fact of pain, an¢ that God made no exception for Him, sinless and obedient as He was. Christ deserved joy; He received and accepted agony, instead. His title to human brotherhood is that He was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief He was no ascetic; He did not seek pain; His agony in the garden shows how He recoiled from it. But it was given to Christ matateualans) to under- stand every depth of human sorrow— poverty, homelessness, defeat, loneli- ness, utter disappointment, physical Pain, weariness of spirit, the shock of disloyalty and betrayal, an agonizing and shameful death. When any one of us can parallel the sufferings of Christ, we may feel, indeed, an im- pulse to murmur egainst the love of God. But—it is Himself, out of His agony, who has proclaimed to the world that God is love. It was upon the cross that He called upon God as His “Father.” Gathering all the spears of human sorrow into His own | bosom, He conquered for all those who follow Hint an entrance into eternal -vietory and eternal joy, there to be with Him. The rebellious personal question: “Why must I suffer?” is answered by the patience of the suffering Christ The sad impersonal question: “Why must the innocent suffer?” is answered by the unshaken faith of the betrayed and crucified Christ in the purposes and love of the Father. The answer of the crosa is a mysterious answer. But any man who takes it into his heart finds full satisfaction and new strength in it. “I, if I be lifted up, shall draw all men unto me.” From the lifted cross, out of the brotherhood of suffering, the Man of Sorrows, the Som of God, draws those who sorrow to Himself, and to that eternal love whicli shall some day make the reason of His -agonies plain to each soul that trusts and endures.—N. Y, Outlook. OBEDIENCE. Not Merely Outward Conformity Wanted, But the Loving Ful- ‘Ailing of God's Wil. have been thinking much of late about obedience. Why does the Bible lay so much stress upon it?—obedi- ence to parents, to masters, to rulers, to God. I think it is because only the obedient servant can be trusted with God's important work. Not only in the broad, general sense of the term, but in the slightest details. Let me WMustrate from the body. In the healthy body the will is the master to whom muscles, nerves and every thought must be in subjection. If the muscles are disobedient there is dis- ease—paralysis, or palsy. But there must be more than gen- eral passive obedience if any degree of skill Is to be attained. Why does the musician spend hour after hour practicing upow the piano? It is that Ms fingers may be trained into exact and instant obedience in the produc- tion of rare harmony. We would not teust a delicate surgical operation to the hand that had not been trained into the most thorough obedience to the will of the operator. If fora single moment it refused obedience, or yield- ed it to nerve instead of will, the direst consequences might follow. You see my meaning without multiplying examples. So, I have thought, in spiritual life, God needs souls trained Into the most exact and instant obedience, to whom he may commit his most delicate and important services. There are clod. hoppers enough; He would use fine artists and artisans. Bur by obedience I mean more thar eu outward conformity to the require. ments of His commands. Obedience is more than doing a thing simply in or. der that the thing may be done; it is the loving fulfilling of God’s will whict makes us more like God Himself, and more fitted for His service.—May Fiel¢ McKeen, in Baptist Union. “As Ye Would.” Everyone of us knows how painful it is to be called by malicious names, to have his character undermined by false insinuations, to be overreached in a bargain, to be neglected by those who rise who have stronger wills and stouter hearts.

You occupy the position of a noncombatant Dearing arms im violation of the laws of war. It seems to me that you de- serve death.” Darrell was mystified. He could see ‘no earthly reason why ‘Kilziar should treat him with severity. “Will you answer me one question?" be said. “Is Vera Shevaloff within the Cireassian lines?” “She is @ princess of Circassia,” said Kilelar, saluting, “and will be its qaeen when the state is free.” “Do you think she would desire my Geath?” “I don't think ft would matter to ber one way or the ether,” replied Kil- wiar, “If there were any reason to Suppose so, I would spare you until her wishes could be learned.

See te it, Varnek." “One moment,” said Darrell, “You seem to be a stickler for military law. Is this your idea of a court martial?” “Yes,” said Kilziar calmly; “it is my idea. How do you like ir?” “It has the charm of novelty.” an- swered Darrell, “and the merit of fit- Ung the needs of a cowardly murderer like yourself!” Kilziar chewed his cigar fercely, as {f seeking a retort. Then suddenly he waved his arm toward Varnek, “Take them away,” he said. Immediately a guard fell im around the prisoners, and they were taken to @ small room in the rear of the house. It seemed to have been a place for storing perishable food In summer, be- ing below the level of the ground, hay- ing near the ceiling a little slit of a window, barred and covered with a wire screen and flush with the pave- ment of the court without. Darrell was a man not prone to de- spair, but he could not see a way of safety here. It looked like the end of this world to him, and the fate was harder because It was incomprehenst- | ble, He could not understand Kilziar's action. Surely It was not based upon any idea of military justice, for it must | @ave been obvious to the dullest mind that Darrell would not seriously have resisted the invaders of Gredskov. Could “it be that Kilziar credited the story that Darrell had betrayed Vera to the Parisian police? The idea be- longed in the realms of delirium. Then where could a legitimate explanation be found? “I hayen’t time to think {t out,” said Darrell to himself. “I must make some sort of play for Nberty. Can my guards be bought?” He still had the money which had es- caped the searchers in his cell at Stav- ropol, and it was a sum to tempt a sok dier. Darrell kicked upon the heavy wooden door of the room and cried out in Russian to the guards, but there was no responee. He was not even or- dered to keep quiet. An hour passed in this vain attempt; then suddenly the door was flung opes, and he beheld with surprise the face of the Circassian officer, Korna, whom he had seen in Paris. 3 Sag A re = SORS coat, covering an oMcer’s uniform —® colonel’s, as it seemed from tke glimpse that Darrell had of it where the overcont was open at the throat. “Come!” said Koruna boarsely. “Has the moon risen?” asked Darrell, while Kevski, who had been sitting up- on the floor, staggered to his feet, with mae “I have not come with a fring par. ty.” answered Korna, “and my life ts MTT beet heen ge) Pua WOR ban WS DFP ay a" INE ME ET TA OM A Pee \\ i a 1 RON eS: | | , ie a y a, Li h Paget | 4 So wy N ‘ <J£\* “Come,” said Korna hoarsely. 4p more peril than yours.

They crossed ‘the Seld and came to the very spot where Darrell bad been stationed dur- } ing the siege of the city. A sentry challenged them, and Korna advanced to meet him, giving the countersign and adding: “These are men with a message to Geliver. They must leave the city in secret.” Then in a whisper to Darrell: “If you are grateful, have Motman Khan transfer me to bis staff. If I remain with Kilziar, be will kill me and dishonor my name. 1 am taking desperate risks.” “I will not forget," said Darrell, clasping bis band. “There are pickets beyond the city,” said Korna, “but to such a broken cosntry. you cannot fail to pass them. Farewell. This is a strange thing I am dong, but it is my only chance.” _ | Darrell and Kevski were lowered over the wall, and when they touched ‘the ground the Russian said in a trem- biingywhisper: “Now lam alive. For a long time I have seemed to be dead.” “My friend," sald Darrell, “you bad reason.” They passed the picket line without trouble—indeed without having any evi- dence that such a thing existed. About midnight they halted tn the midst of a deep wood and there lay down to sleep. It was hunger that wakened Darrell, and bis fire* consciousness was of an anxious attempt to remember when be had last had food. It seemed a: lapse of weeks. He threw a bit of wood at Kevski, who was slumbering heavily on a bank of moss, and the Russian, sitting up, witb blinking eyes, laid a hand upon the region ‘of bis empty stomach and groaned. Keyski struggled to his feet and stumbled up out of the little hollow in which they bad slept. He vanished among the trees. but returned present- ly to say that he had got his bearings and believed that he knew where food could be obtained. “Wait here,” said he, “and 1 wi bring you some. If we both forage, Wwe shall never meet again, for you do not know the country, It is necessary, therefore, for you to remain in a place ‘that I can find again.” Darrell agreed, and Kevski struck off @mong the trees at a good pace. AD hour passed. Darrell began to experi- ment with the bark of a tree that had An agreeable odor, but was not particu- larly nourishing. The time dragged nlong until Darrell felt sure that it was past noon. The situation was becom- ing serious. He ventured out of the hollow a little way in the direction that Kevski_bad taken, but could gain no hint of what had become of him. The sun began to sink toward the west. Darrell was positively starving. It Seemed impossible to walt longer. El- ther Kevski bad been captured or had hopelesaly lost his way. es evening approached left his hiding place and struck out in the general direction taken by Kevak!. He proceeded with caution, for in reality ‘Be Was between two foes. Ie captured ‘im that region by the Circassians, bé Would be taken back to.

It was not dificult to remember a better meal, but few bad ever satisfied a greater need. Refreshed by the hard fare, he was about to continue his way toward Via- dikaukes when suddenly ‘he was aware of the trampling of many boofs on the road that ran before the house, and through a window he tebeld a considerable body of cavalry advanc- ing. Among the officers at the head of the column be descried, to his utter amazement. the burly form and barsh countenance of Prince Kilziar. ‘This road must be a main highway, dut what had brought Kiteiar out of Gredakov?

At that moment Darrell was lying upon the Boor af the attic, almost di- rectly above Kilziar’s head. He had @ good view of the prince through a chink, and he could bear as well as the men tn the room below. “This seems to be the best place to halt them.” Kilsiar continued. “1 will teach these shrewd fellows not to dodge their toll.” ‘The game was obvious to Darrell. ‘The prince had got wind of some rich caravan that would ordinarily have ‘passed through Gredakov, but, bearing ‘that the town was held, had clreied It, well knowing what tribute would be exacted by the revolatioulsts. It was not long before a babble of voices came from the direction of the road, and then there appeared five ‘Turkish merebants under a guard of soldiers. ‘The scene that ensued began by be- ing geimly amusing and ended tn piti- ful tragedy. For as much as he could understand of the bargaining it seem- ed to Darrell that the merchants were being royally bled, but apparently the prince understood them better than the American did. Having received certain sums tu gold that was careful- ly stored away tn bags, Kilziar dis- missed four of the merchants and de- tained the Mfth, who was the youngest of them, a sharp looking fellow, tall, smooth shaven and rather handsome. By Kuiziar's orders he was left alone with this man, and immediately an ac- rimonious discussion ensued, the prince asserting that he had been cheated re- gardiog the value of the caravan and that many rich jewels were among its merchandise. The tall fellow denied it boldly, and Kiziar’s temper rose, Sud- denly, to Darreli’s unspeakable horror, the prince whipped out his sword and struck the offending merchant dead at a blow. It was a murder of the coars- est brutality, and if there had been a second's time for interference Darrell would have been unable to witness such a crime without an effort to pre- vent it, but the decd was done in a fash. Instantly there came a loud rapping at the closed door, and a yoice without erled: “Excellency, it is Korna with a’ mes- sage from Motman Khan!” “Bid him enter,” rald Kilziar, “Alone.” ‘The young man came In hastily, but us he ratsed his hand to salute he saw the body on the floor and started back. “Have you never seen a dead man be- fore?” growled Kilziar. “Come!

It Meant as much, if not more, to him as to them, for the tidings were that a body of Russian troops had been en- countered fifteen rales south of Vindi- Kaukas, a force that barred Darreli’s way to the city and cut off the com- Paratively smail command of the khan from the main army under Kilaiar in Gredskov. As a reault of the conference the car- ‘avan was withdrawn from the road in- to tho shelter of a wood. Darrell learn- Jed that there was hope that the Rus- stan foree, which bad been /marching toward the east, might pass on, leay. ing the way clear for rasuming the Journey on the morrow. He himselt cherished no euch delusion, eres well that the main road would 6 ‘not be Teft Unguarded. The caraval would never get through until the mit- itary operations of the Russians should be transferred to another field, It might be possible, however, for one man to get through the lines or to work his way around: them without too great expenditure of time. When the night bad fallen, Darrell crept out of the camp which lay so silent in the wood, a man guarding ev- ery animal and ready with a knife in hand to cut its throat if it should dis- turb the stillness with such yolce as nature had given it. For a. mile or more he followed the edge of the high- way, and then, without warning from eye or ear, he was as near as possible to running straight toto the arms of Russian pickets. He dropped into « clump of bushes not 100 feet distant from the guards and there lay qulet for awhile, undecided what to do. Upon his left was bare and open ground. ven under cover of the darkness be scarcely dared riak crossing {t. To go the other way was to approach the head of the army, for it was moving eastward, and he was afraid it might throw down a spur toward Gredskor and thus cut bim off completely. The better course would be to work to the ‘westward, though that would involve crossing the army's line of communica- ton with its base, wherever that might be.

THE wave of lawlessness now sweeping over the country has been emphasized and felt by brutal exhibitions in the Senate of the United States. When Senator TILLMAN of South Carolina assaulted Senator McLAURIN of the same state, the country was amazed and the body itself astounded. Those who knew of the inside conditions in that state were prepared for anything which might take place. Senator TILLMAN's talk about his honor was the subject of derision for he had bluntly declared in a previous debate that his hands were stained with the blood of the dark-skinned citizens of his own state. Texas now springs into the arena and its junior Senator, Joseph BAILEY on last Monday, after the adjournment of the Senate made a most unjustifiable attack upon Senator BEVERIDGE of Indiana, claiming that he had grossly insulted him by charging him with making an unwarranted attack upon a government official. By his action, Senator BAILEY proved the truth of Senator BEVERIDGE's assertions. Colored men are observing these performances with interest, as it is a practical realization of the biblical maxim, "as ye sow, so shall ye reap." Forty years after the War of the Rebellion, and the enslavement of the Negro, we see white men occupying the places once held by us. To be plain, the assaniting of Negroes has led to the assauling of white men; the robbery of the Negroes of the right to vote has led to the robbery of white men of the right to vote. The denial of the protection of the laws to Negroes has led to the denial of the protection of the laws to white men. The Negroes may have been the bone of contention, they may have caused the beginning of the trouble; but they can now stand back with evident satisfaction and see the white men receive the blows that they once received. They see white men charging white men with robbing white men at the ballot-boxes. They have seen and are still seeing the votes of the better class of white men nullified and the most disreputable white men installed in office. Retribution has come. It began in the southern states, spread to the north and west and may now be seen at the capital of the nation. It's all right—God's hand may now be seen in the history of the world. Evil agencies are made in time to do his will. Colored men, let us labor on regardless of the oppression which surrounds us. We have no time to pause in our march forward. Corruption is everywhere manifest and dishonesty is seen in high places, but let us keep our eaves on the guiding star of racial advancement, trust God for the future, and rely upon our own efforts for the present and all will be well with us. HURTS WHITE FOLKS MOST. THE unconstitutional "Constitutional" Convention after doing all the damage it could to the Negro has decided to adjourn. That it was a failure goes without saying. There is scarcely a sensible man in the state who doesn't wish that it had been drowned before it was born. It came to this city for the avowed purpose of injuring the Negro, curtailing his rights and abridging his privileges. When its labors were completed, the howls were mostly from the white men, with a limited number of protests from the Negroes. The latter had been least injured. The Democratic white men in convention assembled at Norfolk, Va., agreed to the calling of a Constitutional Convention with the understanding and promise: 1st, that no white men would be disfranchised. As a matter of fact, white men have been disfranchised. 2nd, that the revised Constitution should be submitted to the people for ratification. It was not submitted to the people for ratification, not even to the white people. All colored men had been put out of office and all white men put into office. The unconstitutional "Constitutional" Convention proceeded to put white men out of office by abolishing certain offices. The colored men were not injured, because they held no office. The unconstitutional Constitutional Convention reduced the tax rate from 40cts to 30cts per hundred dollars. This benefited the white man because he owned property and it benefited the colored man because he owned property too. The unconstitutional "Constitutional" Convention dealt a blow at trusts by establishing a corporation commission. As only white men owned the railroads, this affected the white men and did not interfere with the colored1. The unconstitutional "Constitutional" Convention decided that no officer of the stave should enjoy the luxury of a free railroad pass. As the colored folks held no office and did not have any railroad passes, this was a blow at the white brother and he is crying yet, reminding one of a colicky baby yelling for its mother's milk. Colored employees of the railroads are not affected by this provision and their families ride as heretofore, free of charge. The unconstitutional "Constitutional" Convention decided that all men who did not pay as much as $1.50 in taxes should not vote, and also that many who did should not exercise the privilege. This caused some colored folks to complain and nearly all of the poor white folks to howl, but in as much as the colored people had been trying to vote and when they did vote, their ballots were not counted, or if they were counted, they went to the credit of the other fellow for whom the colored brother did not vote, the thoughtful ones can not see much difference in this game of chance. The result is that the white man has been dancing a jig ever since his own unconstitutional "Constitutional" Convention began its sessions and he is hoping and praying that somebody will take the matter into the courts and thus relieve him of the most unfortunate predicament in which he now finds himself. The new instrument is bad enough for the colored folks, but from our point of observation from the howls now coming from the white man's barn-yard, it has done most damage in that quarter.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Frederick the Great. Leaving the discussion of the political aspects of this matter to wiser heads, we may turn with considerable interest, nevertheless, for a casual study of Frederick the Great himself. What did he stand for especially, with relation to America? That is a question which has vital interest at this time. Was his attitude one of friendliness, or was it parallel with that of Great Britain's when we were struggling for independence. Information on this point is meager for the reason that he died (1786) before our republic was fairly under headway, and before we had come to be a serious factor in the world's history; nevertheless, in spite of the fact that Frederick the Great was often harsh in war and advocated extreme measures, when he thought them necessary, and of the fact that he displayed no apparent compunctions when it came to the partition of Poland, there is evidence that he was a man of tolerant mind towards the weak and oppressed. He accomplished many reforms of a generous nature in his own land, and his insight into the needs of the people was often so sympathetic that we 1830 are tempted to the opinion that his intentions were always good. In one letter which he wrote to Voltaire—with whom he carried on such continuous and voluminous correspondence covering a long period of years—we find a record of his disgust at Great Britain's hiring of Hessian troops with which to fight the colonists in America. These troops were probably not mercenary at heart. They came to America because there was no help for it. Mercenary princes sold them to the British after the latter's attempts to buy troops of Russia had been scorned by the czarina in no uncertain words; and the popular feeling in Germany over the matter was one of intense indignation. Indeed, we are told that these Hessian troops, when marching through German-American sections of the colonies, "fraternized with the new world Germans to such disastrous effect that many of the mercenaries deserted from the British service." It is one of these mercenary princes to whom Voltaire refers in the following letter to Frederick the Great (quoted in part): Sire: You will be astonished when you cast your eyes over the small pamphlet which I send your majesty. Could you imagine it to be written by the landgrave of Hesse? His genius has developed itself, his knowledge of your newenh, and has read your works. If you know that he publishes own this small book, but I certainly know it to be his. It is a picture which we easily discover to be by a painter of your school. You have given me the men and princes. In how many various ways will your name astonish posterity? "I am returned from paying a visit to my demi-savages of Prussia; and, to increase my pleasures, I found the letter which you have been kind enough to write to me. I have been sent a production which I did not mind of Kings, a production which I did not mind of Kings, the pen of the landgrave of Hesse. You do me too much honor when you attribute his education to me. Had he been a disciple himself, would never have become a Catholic (the priest) who was a professed agnostic); neither would he sold his subjects to the English, like as we sell black cattle for the slaughterhouse. This latter trait but ill agrees with the man, a prince who presumes to act the preacher; the sordid passion of interest in the scion cattle unworthy proceeding. I pity the poor Hesse.

Are Often the Very Things That Would Put Us Right with a Little Effort. The young man was having a hard struggle to make his way through college, and now he sat talking over his discouragements with his friend, the professor. "It is not the hard work that discourages me," he said, "but the fact that when we have done our best, and used all the foresight and skill and wisdom we have, some hitch in the machinery we may throw the whole thing out of shape. I never worked harder in my life than I did last vacation, but I came back poorer than ever, and I have to live from hand to mouth this year." "But still you are living," replied the professor, "and learning, as well; and there are more serious things in life than to be compelled to pray: 'Give us this day our daily bread.' So far you are overcoming the hitch." "I cannot wholly overcome it," said the young man. "Well, so much the better," replied the professor. "I have been waiting to say a word about your hitch in the machinery. Let me tell you a story. "Not many years ago the common screws which carpenters used were made with blunt points, and had to be started into the wood with a gimlet. It was a serious disadvantage, but no machine had been found that would point a screw and cut the thread upon it. "One day a workman in a Rhode Island factory had trouble with the machine at which he was working. He attempted to adjust it, but without entire success, for when he started the machine again the first screw caught and was jerked out of place, and turned down to a point with a thread cut all the way. The workman stopped the machine and picked up the screw, and behold! it was pointed like a gimlet. "A careless workman would have glanced at it and thrown it aside as defective, and hammered away at the machine to compel it to make blunt screws again; but this man had sense enough to see that here was the very thing that they had been seeking for years, and by patient study he found out precisely how to construct a machine that would constantly impart that twist to the screw and finish it to a threaded point. "He took his idea to his employers, and they encouraged him to work out the plan, and provided money to construct a machine and get it patented. The workman is an old man now, and has lived in a fine house for many years, with plenty of money in the bank. It was no mere lucky accident that accomplished this result; it was the ability to appreciate the blessing of a thing that went wrong. "I am less anxious that our college shall furnish an annual output of young fellows for whom things have been, and must be, made easy, than to impart to each of them what God, in His goodness, gives to some of you—that extra twist and jerk which is to enable you to bore your own way through life. The Lord does not take such special pains with a man unless He counts him worthy of it. Some day you will thank Him for the blessedness of the things that go wrong."—Youth's Companion. TERSE TRUTH Shall I not call God the beautiful, who daily showeth Himself to me in His gifts?—Emerson. It is as great a mercy to be-preserved in health as to be delivered from sickness.—John Mason. “The sunrise is the song of the day; the sunset its lullaby. Even so youth rhymes all things to song and old age chants the requiem.” The danger of a small sin is in what it draws after it. One link, in itself, never yet bound a victim; but link by link the chain is found to fetter at last.—Young People. As we must spend time in cultivating our earthly friendships if we are to have their blessings, so we must spend time in cultivating the companionship of Christ.—Henry Drummond. Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections. For love which hath ends will have an end, whereas that which is founded on true virtue will always continue.—Druden We have read of a pastor who prayed for the absent members of his congregation "who were prostrated on beds of sickness and on sofas of wellness." The latter stand in greater need of prayer than the former.—United Presbyterian. Reel—Figures don't die. Roomy—Don't know about that. You ought to see Miss Slim in a bathing suit—Princeton Tiger. Farmer Dunk—That 'ere hired man of yourn is pretty slow, nin'the, Ezy? Farmer Hornbeak—Yuss. He's too golvummed slow to make a successful pallbearer.—Judge. Attitude of Frederick the Great to America Emperor William's Ancestral Uncle Was Evidently Friendly to the Colonial Revolutionists. slans, who are to terminate, so unfortunately, and so ineffectually, their career in America." That the king was sincere in this statement is made doubly apparent by the orders which he issued to his custom house officers concerning such of the Hessian soldiers bought by the English as should pass through Prussian territory. He charged these officials to levy a tax upon them as upon "cattle exported for foreign shambles." It may be argued, of course, that his attitude concerning the Hessian "mercenaries" arose from shame and humiliation rather than from any regard he had for the American patriots. Yet this view would not seem to be substantiated by the peculiarly amiable tone of the first treaty between Prussia and the United States, ratified by Frederick the Great September 24, 1785, and by the congress of the United States May 17, 1786. This treaty is known as the "Treaty of Amity and Commerce between," etc. Its first article declares: "There shall be a firm, inviolable and universal peace and sincere friendship between his majesty, the king of Prussia, his heirs, successors, and subjects, on the one part, and the United States of America and their citizens on the other, without exception of persons or places." This is followed by the most liberal treaties, first setting out and defining the privileges of the sub- ```markdown ``` FREDERIOK THE GREAT. jects of Prussia in the United States, and vice versa, and then covering every possible contingency likely to arise between the two governments. Frederick the Great was a man whose biography, for the most part, the Yankee might study with appreciation. He was a hater of shams; and he was a shrewd, keen, broad and vigorous man, of remarkable ability in the affairs of state, war and even in literature. The following anecdote fittingly illustrates his dislike for foolish pretensions; The lady of the president of the court of justice, and the lady of the president of the chamber of revenues, at Cleves, had frequent disputes about precedency; and the former asserted that, in all public assemblies she had a right to take place of the other. This enraged her rival to such a degree that she wrote to the king and desired that his majesty should determine which of the two ladies had the right to walk first. Frederick returned this answer: "Let the greatest fool walk first." Frederick II., along with the many qualities that made him "the Great," was at heart a humorist. He loved nothing better than to joke at the expense of his listeners, and the anecdotes which are told of him bristle with humor and satire. A princess who had ordered some "stuffs" from abroad, found that they were detained by the collector of customs. Highly incensed, she sent word that she would pay the duty and asked the collector to come himself with the goods for that purpose. When he arrived, however, she immediately took the goods from him and gave him several sound cuffs. The collector, enraged at this treatment, addressed a long memorial to the king, setting forth how much he had been dishonored in the performance of his duty. Frederick replied: "The loss of the duty must be placed to my account; the stuffs must remain with the princess; the cuffs with him that received them. As to the dishonor, I cancel it at the request of the complainant; but it is of itself null; for the white hand of a fair lady cannot possibly dishonor the face of a custom house officer."

Area, Population of the South Af 75,000 are Boers or of Dutch descent; about 100,000 are of British birth or descent, about 20,000 German and 10,000 American. The Boers mostly are farmers; the other white inhabitants mostly are miners or have mining interests, or are employed in the town. The first Dutch settlement in South Africa was about 1652. The British took the Cape in 1795, returned it to the Dutch in 1803, captured it again in 1806, and received the formal cession of it from Holland in 1815. The Dutch farmers have, from a very early date, pushed their settlements into the wilderness, doubtless looking to escape beyond British control, but in every instance creating new British territory, since they were British subjects. From the first they made slaves of the natives, and the English act of manumission throughout the British colonies led to their great emigrations, called "treks," reported as comprising 6,000 persons, in 1835, and a large additional number in 1838. In 1848 a British proclamation of authority, extending to the Vaal River, led to a Boer emigration seeking "peace and freedom" beyond. This led to the Sand river convention in 1832, by which the Transvaal Boers were granted independence, and to a similar treaty with grant to the Orange Free State Boers in 1854. The latter treaty stood unchallenged and unchanged up to the time of the last war. With the Transvaal, the British government has had successive disturbances. In the act of manumission, appropriating $100,000,000 in payment for the slaves in all the colonies, more than $80,000,000 was assigned to the slave owners in South Africa. The Boers in Cape Colony protested against the act for various reasons, but especially as robbing them of their slaves; and when they had migrated beyond the Vaal, one of their first acts after proclaiming their new independence is recorded to have been a great slave-hunt by 400 Boers against the Bechuana. It was about 60 years ago, and it was to be presumed that the cruelties practiced could be allowed among them now; but the record shows that it is not wonderful that the British government should have repeated difficulties with them and should have incurred their hereditary dislike. KIRK STREET, PRETORIA, SHOWING T Teeth. THE PLANET IN TIME OF DANGER. Many Lives Saved by What Is Called Presence of Mind. Men, Women and Children Who Averted Death by Thinking and Acting Quickly—Story of a Canine Hero. There are certain mysterious attributes of the human mind which baffle even the most searching scientific investigation. For instance, who can account with any degree of satisfaction for that mental condition inspired by emergency and commonly designated as presence of mind? Hundreds of lives are saved every year through the brain function which makes it possible for human beings to think and act quickly with seemingly supernatural powers, yet no one can say positively whether he possesses a mind so endowed until opportunity opens the way for a practical demonstration. By considering cases where lives have been spared through presence of mind it will be seen that even in accidents of the most shocking character persons are snatched out of the jaws of death by the ability of the mind so remain active even under exceedingly trying conditions. Oftentimes it is the person who afterwards is heralded as a hero who displays wonderful presence of mind, and not infrequently it is the victims themselves. But the general principle is the same in both cases. Another remarkable feature about the mental activity known as presence of mind is that it is as well developed in children as among grown persons. This fact is proved by the heroic conduct of 6-year-old Edith Ruthem, of New Brunswick, N.J. The tot started from her home to take her small brother for a walk. The children passed directly in front of a rapidly approaching trolley car. The mother shrieked a warning and with wonderful coolness the little girl pushed her brother out of harm's way and then, unable to escape, jumped into the fender of the 1902 LITTLE GIRL SAVES BROTHER. car and hung on until the motorman, white with fright, brought it to a standstill. She was unhurt save for a slightly bruised side. It was surely presence of mind that saved Kate Collins from a horrible death in a silk mill at Haverstraw. While working near a rapidly revolving machine her hair caught in the wheels and she was being drawn with terrifying swiftness to a frightful death when her presence of mind asserted itself and she grasped her hair with both hands and pulled with all her might, thus retarding its progress. Then she fainted and a young man, who also had presence of mind, rushed to the power wheels and threw off the belt. The fact that Gregory McGregor, a master plumber of Elizabeth, N. J., was a thin man with presence of mind, also saved his life. He was crossing the iron girder bridge of the Jersey Central when an express train overtook him. To continue across the bridge was an impossibility, and there was no way for him to get out of the path of the train except by pressing himself tightly against the iron work of the bridge. The situation flashed across his mind in an instant, and, by accepting the one avenue of escape, he saved his life. Animals are frequently no less heroes than human beings, and an incident of the recent burning of the steamer City of Pittsburg near Ogden Landing presents a striking illustration of this fact. Michael Burt and his family took the steamer at Owensburg, Ky. It was a family of 13, and but one survives, a girl of ten years. When the family boarded the steamer a large Newfoundland dog followed them on the boat in spite of the fact that every effort was made to keep it off. When the animal saw that it would be forced to leave the steamer it ran in hiding until the boat was under way, and during the trip would sulk along and lide, afraid to come out for fear of punishment at the hands of the master or some member of the crew. When the fire broke out on the steamer the dog saw members of the family perish, and finally the ten-year-old child, with whom it was accustomed to play, plunge into the water. The child had no sooner fallen than the faithful animal went after her, caught her dress in its teeth, and swam with her to the shore, where it kept watch until the child was taken in charge by rescuers. Bernard THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING AT PRETORIA. Area, Population and History of the South African Republic HE Transvallal area is about 120,000 square miles; its population is probably about 1,000,000, the Kaffirs and other blacks number probably less than 800,000, whites, only 70,000 or 200,000. In 1877 the Boers of the Tranvaal found themselves in serious difficulties as an independent nation. Their government was in financial straits and in general confusion. A powerful chief of the warlike Kaffir within their own territory was harassing them, while they were also manaced by an invasion of the Zulus. Their condition was deemed by the British to involve peril to all the South African colonies; and under a show of British force, and partly for protection, they assisted to the annexation of their territory to the Empire. But the English governor was either ill-chosen or unfortunate in his methods, and in 1880 they roose in a courageous and well-directed revolt, which was ended by a grant to them, in the London convention of 1881, of self-government "subject to the suzerainty of her majesty." The revolt above referred to soon ended in the crushing defeat at Majuba Hill, where a force of a few hundred British troops was almost annihilated by a large Boer force of expert marksmans, firing mostly from behind rocks or other cover. This made known the Tranvaal riflemen as most dangerous foes. It was near the beginning of the revolt; and when the British reinforcements arrived the Boers, as military authorities agree, could have met only defeat, at which point the British government, then led by Mr. Gladstone as head of a liberal ministry, granted a conference, whose final issue was, as above noted, the self-government of the republic under British suzerainty. With this as one step out of the immediate difficulty, the Boer was quieted. But KIRK STREET, PRETORIA, SHOWING THE STATE CHURCH IN THE DISTANCE.

Suzerainty was a term not to his liking. Still less was he ready to welcome a British suzerainty. Britain was the one enemy that had been dogging his steps, and his father's steps, and his grandfather's steps; and now his last supreme effort to rid himself of the hateful presence, which was also a hampering control, had come to naught. President Kruger, in 1883, visited London with a petition to Queen Victoria for a revision of the articles of the convention in 1881. He was graciously received; and the British government in 1886 conceded to him a new wording of the clauses against which he, in the name of his people—rather, in the name of the Boer portion of them—had entered his protest. It was this new wording, with its interpretations, that served as the nominal ground for the last dispute which ended in war, and the war has now ended in a British victory, and the union jok again flies from the flagstaffs of Pratortia and Bloomfein. AMERICANS IN SOUTH AFRICA At the Forefront of Great Industrial and Mining Enterprises. "British and continental capitalists have recognized the superiority of American men and women in the United States. It is an expression not born and received their transmits, but is a success of a South African enterprise is being discussed: 'Who is' the Yankee? The fact that almost all the Americans who went to South Africa after the discovery of gold had been well fitted by their experiences in the United States, for the work which they were called upon to do on the Randt, and owing to their ability, were able to compete successfully with men from other countries who were not so skilled. South African Farms. At the time of the breaking out of the war there were some 50,000 acres of land under cultivation in the Transvaal. The farms numbered 12,245, of which 3,036 belonged to the government, 1,012 to outside owners and the remainder to resident owners and companies. The agricultural pro- grams were far from sufficient to meet the demand for crop importation, and food products figured heavily in ports. The number of farms in the Orange Free State was 10,498, with more than 300,000 acres under cultivation. Transvaal Church Membership Church membership in the Transevali is divided about as follows: The United Dutch Reformed church—the state churches, 30,000 communicants; other Dutch churches, 32,768; English church, 30,000; Wesleyan Methodist, 10,000; Catholic, 5,000; Presbyterians, 8,000; other Christian churches, 5,000; Jews, 10,000. Transvaal Gold Production The value of the gold production of the Transvaal in 1808, the banner year of Transvaal mining, was £18,044,135.

HEM PLANET TEMPERANCE NOTES True Story of How a Maine Father Came to Clear Out the Cider in His Cellar. It was "way down in Maine," near the sea coast, where the story happened. Mr. Israel Knowiton, so called, because there were so many brothers and cousins of the same name, lived on a pleasant farm just out of 'Quidnic village. He was an energetic, generous man, and had a fine wife and three handsome boys. He was a Christian, too, but his wife thought he was not quite consistent on one point. "Now, husband," said she (and it was not the first time), "just think of you being a church member and keeping those cider barrels in the cellar. I can't get over it. Our boys are growing up, and we've got to look out for them." "Nonsense," said Mr. Knowlton. "You're 'mazin' afraid of cider all to once. Your father kept it in his cellar, and my father kept it in his cellar, and you and I are none the worse for it, as I can see." "But times have changed, and we see the evil of it." persisted his wife. "Look at Cider Hill! When we were children it was the prettiest place in town, with big orchards on every farm. How is it now? The farms are run down, and people that used to come to church never come now. What did you say yourself about the Runnellses, and the Dickson, and the Lows? You said their cider mills had ground them up, body and soul, didn't you now?" "Well, well," retorted Mr. Knowlton, rather testily, "that may be. Some folks don't know enough to CIDER ROLLED THEM OUT INTO THE BACK YARD. keep out of trouble. They've got slight blood in their veins to start with. But as for our cider barrels, they're in the cellar, and in the cellar they'll stay." "You'll have to take them out, or the boys—" "There, now, wife, that'll do," and Mr. Knowtown took his hat and started for the door. "Stands to reason that with all the cider that's drunk in 'Quidniec our boys' take their share, and I'd rather have 'em drink it here than go to that little, mean, low place on the corner, where Eph Low sells it at five cents a pint." Then Mr. Knowtown went out. "You can't move a Knowton, more'n you can move a mountain," was a common saying in 'Quidnio, so, of course, the cider stayed in the cellar; and Frank, Burton and Phil went down regularly to fill the blue-banded pitcher for themselves and their father. Phil was only ten years old, but his glass was always emptied with the rest. It happened that one day in early winter not long after the conversation referred to Mr. Knowlton went to Portsmouth, not intending to return until late in the evening, but it was still early when he came jogging into the village, and welcome lights were gleaming from quiet homes on either side of the long, winding street. As he reached the corner he found the "mean little grocery" well lighted and well filled. His tired horse was walking slowly, and as the sound of talking, laughing and singing rang out on the still air, he heard a voice he recognized. Jumping from his loaded wagon, he left his horse standing in the street and stole up to the window. There were the well-known loungers of the town, several tipsy sailors; two or three old men sat on fish-kegs drinking, smoking and telling stories, and some boys, among whom were Frank and Burton! These last were evidently making themselves merry over cider, as a large pitcher was before them. One long look was enough for Mr. Knowlton. Feeling weak and almost stunned, he groped back to his team and drove homeward. Entering his kitchen a little later, he sat down silently by the fire, refusing the nice supper his wife had provided. "Let me draw you some cider, father," said Phil. "That'll warm you up." "No!" said his father, so forcibly that the blue-handled pitcher, already in Phil's hand, nearly dropped. A very unsatisfactory half-hour passed, and then Frank and Burton came singing and rollicking up the path. Mr. Knowlton turned upon them fiercely as they entered. "Boys," said he, "you've been in Eph Lowe's mean little grocery. Now, what does that mean?" The two culprits were covered with confusion, for they had not expected their father to return so early, and were sure of his displeasure. "We wanted some cider, and the other boys offered to treat, and—and—" stammered Frank. "Don't you know there's cider in the cellar? Don't you know you're never to go to that miserable saloon?" "Well, father," interposed Burton, "I can't see the difference. If it's right to drink it here, what's the harm to drink it there? And it's a great deal jollier." "I mistrust I've been a fool," said Mr. Knowlton, bringing down is fist upon the table. "Boys, take the lamp and come down cellar with me." Wonderingly they obeyed, and Mrs. Knowlton and Pil brought up the rear of the little procession. The leader of the same did not pause until he reached the cider barrels. One by one he seized and rolled them out into the back yard, pulled out the "plugs," and sent the contents gurgling down through the garden under leafless trees and shrubs. "Why, father," cried Phil, "you're wasting our nice cider. Mother, don't let him!" and the little fellow wrung his hands helplessly, wondering how he could save what seemed to him so precious. "Philip, you won't see any more here! Never! Now boys—" and he turned toward the awe-striken group standing near, "will you quit drinking cider everywhere, and always as long as the stars shine, if I will?" Mrs. Knowlton raised is hand toward the clear, starry heavens as he spoke, and they felt sure he was taking a solemn pledge. "I will, father," said Frank. "I's pose I have to—yes, I will, added Burton, slowly. "I don't want to," said Phil, almost crying. "I like cider, and it'll be awful hard to get along without it. Can't I have just one juggul?" Mr. Knowlton took is little son's hand, and there were tears in his voice, as he said: " Phil, if you feel so, it's high time to give it up, God knows! Be a man, now, and quit with the rest." His mother then threw her arms around him, and, with entreaty and tears, at length persuaded her "baby" to yield. But it was a long time before Phil could see or smell cider without longing for it, and having a terrible struggle to keep his pledge. Those boys are good, temperance men now, and their father is so earnest in the cause that some people call him a "fanatic," but that only makes him laugh. One thing, however, he says to Quidnie people, which they think is true: "If you want to keep your boys from drinking cider in mean, low places, begin by clearing out your own cellars."—Mrs. O. W. Scott, in National Advance. WANTS TO CHECK DRINK EVIL. Count Douglas Presents Bill in Prussian Diet for More Rigid Restriction of Liquor Traffic. Count Douglas, a descendant of a Scotch soldier of fortune, has proposed a resolution in the Prussian diet, asking the ministry to bring in a bill imposing more rigid restrictions on the liquor traffic. All parties, except the radicals, supported the measure, and the radicals did not speak against it. The resolution of Count Douglass set forth that he was no abstainer himself, and that on proper occasions he liked a good drink. But he was deeply impressed with the injury inflicted in Germany by excessive indulgence in drink. The Germans, he added, spent 3,000,000 marks per year in drink, twice the amount of the army and navy budget, and 180,000 persons were brought before the courts through drink. The number of criminals was increasing by 10,000 annually, and the number of convicted persons had increased from 299,249 in 1882, to 478,139 in 1899. In the insane asylums intemperance furnished 30 per cent. of the inmates, and 80 per cent. of Germany's idiots were the children of intemperate people. The loss to industry through excessive drinking was incalculable. Germany, while leading the world in social reform legislation, has done practically nothing against drinking. The United States was far more advanced than Germany in this respect. He condemned the drinking cult in the universities, saying it was a jolly life while it lasted, but it had many tragical sequels. The practicing physicians followed with statements drawn from their own experience. Dr. Endemann asserted that alcoholists succumbed to tubercule bacillus much more easily than others, and Dr. Martens said the mortality in all diseases was three or four times greater in the case of alcoholists than among abstainers, comparing persons of equal physical strength. The Psychiatric association, of Berlin, has recently drawn up a scheme of reform in the treatment of inebriates and declares that special institutions are necessary for the isolation of victims of the drink habit. These may be open like general hospitals or closed after the manner of insane asylums, and only institutions adopting the principle of total abstinence should be permitted. The admission of inebriates into these institutions may be voluntary, at the request of the party concerned, or compulsory, under such safeguards as are required in the case of admission to insane asylums. At the head of these special institutions should be physicians possessing special knowledge of mental and nervous diseases.—Journal of Inebriety. Generous to a Fault.

Unique Campaign of Gubernatorial Aspirant in Vermont. Travels In a Private Car, Wears a Dress Suit, Walks Behind a Brass Band and Has Rag- Time Outdoors Percival W. Clement, the high license local option candidate for governor of Vermont, has set aside every political precedent existing in that rock-ribbed prohibitory state, and is conducting one of the most startling ante-convention campaigns on record. Instead of attiring himself in a flannel shirt, high boots, and overalls, and rattling about in an old lumber wagon or a broken-down buggy when he goes into the country districts, Mr. Clement conducts all of his evening meetings in full dress and rides from place to place in his own private car. Such high-handed deviation from political custom was a startling thing for a candidate for the nomination for governor to countenance, let alone to put into practice, yet Mr. Clement acts on the theory that farmers are the hardest people on earth to deceive. He argues that they know he uses a private car when traveling about on business, and that he wears a long-tailed coat when he goes out in the evening. He wants to go before them honestly, so clings to both of these luxuries in his political campaign. Mr. Clement always appears on the rostrum in evening clothes. He usually marches from his car to the hall where the meeting is to be held wearing a long Inveness overcoat and a crush hat. Often he takes his place behind the local brass band for the march to the hall, for he is not particular about riding in a carriage. The campaign of Mr. Clement has been so unique in all its features that his band of campaigners is styled "Clement's all-star vaudeville and circus combination." He is accompanied on his tour by the Poinceau quartette of young col- IN FULL DRESS REGALIA. ored men. They give a concert when the meeting opens, then the candidate starts in to expose the fallacy of prohibition for two interesting hours, and the colored quartette closes the evening with more melody. The local band plays, and Mr. Clement meets the voters on the platform. After the meeting is over the leaders of the local option movement discuss the local situation with him in his private car, and add to the long list of complaints against the prohibitory law by telling incidents of local happenings. It is a violation of all precedent in Vermont for a man who wants this office to go out and meet the voters on their own ground. The Grand Isle, Mr. Clement's private car, is his own personal property. He has traveled all over the United States, and part of Mexico in it. The car is luxuriously furnished, with sleeping berths, a dining-room, a large observation-room, and a commodious kitchen. The car on this campaign is generally attached to some regular train, but if he has a long jump and connections are not good, Mr. Clement hires an engine and runs a special. Before the car gets to the town where the meeting of the day is to be held, Mason A. Green, editor of the Rutland Herald, has preceded it. Mr. Green arranges the preliminaries. He hires the hall, has some posters printed and distributed to advise those in outlying sections and adjoining towns of the date of the rally. In large type at the end of each flyer is printed this essential announcement: "No collection," because there is always a collection at the rallies in behalf of the prohibitory law. By the time Mr. Green reaches the hotel he finds a delegation of leading local option men of the town anxious to assist in carrying on the campaign. At his suggestion they select some well-known citizen to present the candidate. There are always half a dozen volunteers. By the time the Grand Isle is set off on a siding near the station there is a working force of local option men, enthusiastic and determined, to get out the vote at the caucus. Then they go down for a chat with the candidate before the meeting. By the time they arrive it is generally after six p. m., and Mr. Clement receives them in his evening suit on board the Grand Isle. Coat That Sheds Bullets It is said that only the steel bullets of the Austrian Mannlicher rife can pierce the bullet-proof coat of finely textured silk recently invented by M. Szezepank. Against the ordinary bullets, as well as saber cuts and thrusts, the garment affords perfect protection. "Yes, we're great friends, you know; that is—well, he calls about twice a week," and her big blue eyes studied the carpet until she felt that Joe was looking at the clock. Then she resumed: "By the way, can't you come to our Browning club meet Thursday? Char—Mr. Hughes is to be there, and you ought to begin to 'mix' a little, as they call it. He's going to give a reading of some sort. You and I "Will you go with me?" Joe was alert now. "You may be sure I will." So they agreed to go to the Browning symposium, and Ingham went home with a new hope and an indomitable determination in his guileless heart. They were in the west-bound cars, radiant, expectant and happy, going to the club, and sure of the old cameraderie, when Ingham, seeking for a topic, said: "By the way, Miss Marie—" "Just Marie will do," she corrected. "All right, Marie, but talking of Hughes—you said he was on to-night's programme—do you remember the medal he got for that essay junior year?" "Yes, indeed, it was about woman, wasn't it?" "Well, yes; about mothers—the title was, 'The Christian Mother.' How do you like that?" "It was grand! Don't you remember how everybody carried on over it? Why, I never did take any interest in Char—Mr. Hughes—till he delivered that oration. Don't you know how mamma cried over it? It was a glorious thing! I never suspected that he had so much soul, did you?" "Well, he never had, as a matter of fact," whispered Joe Ingham, handling the conductor a dime. "Fact, is, I wrote that oration myself, wrote it for him because he was eaten up with a desire to get a medal. You know he never had much ability, and his father was everlastingly nagging him to distinguish himself. He did distinguish himself that night—with my oration. I don't begrudge him the honor, but he never showed me any gratitude. On the contrary, he always boasted that no man of '99 could have written such a masterpiece." "Why, Joe," said Marie, coming closer, and with her face drawn and her eyes abroad. "Joe, you don't mean it? Why, it wasn't honest; it was a fraud; surely Charley Hughee wouldn't have stooped—" "Oh! It was all right to palm off the oration, Marie, but it was the way he acted afterward that hurt me. You know the last time he was at Creston he never so much as called to see me." And little Marie, wondering and fluttered, waited till they were off the car before she said: "Joe, I'm sorry I didn't know you and Mr. Hughes were on bad terms. I've promised to let him escort me home to night, and—" "Why didn't he take you to the entertainment also?" Mr. Ingham was nettled. "He said he'd be too busy—a lawsuit or something. Oh, he's dreadfully busy, Joe. But I told him I'd go to supper with him afterward and—and-I hope you'll not be offended." "Not at all, Marie," he said, coldly. "Go ahead. I'm accustomed to 'getting left.'" And poor Marie was most unhappy when they entered the crowded hall. The usher could not find two chairs together for them, so Marie sat in the front row and Joe Ingham, in aullen mood, sat three rows behind her. When the time came for Charles Hughes to appear, the chairman of the meeting stepped forward and said: "The next number on the programme is a paper by Mr. Charles Hughes, the eminent young lawyer. Is Mr. Hughes in the house?" There was a bustle about the doors and directly Mr. Hughes—"Stupidity" Hughes, as the college boys used to call him, entered and rushed forward with a great show of bustle. He mounted the stage, took a sip of water and said: "Ladies and Gentlemen of the Browning Club, Friends and Fellow Citizens: I have been so busy with numerous new and old law cases within the past few days that I've been unable to prepare a set address. However, in a few moments of leisure this afternoon, I dashed off a little paper, entitled "The Christian Mother." At the words Marie Franz looked around and her blue eyes blazed when Joe Ingham smiled a knowing smile. Then Mr. Hughes, "the eminent young lawyer," launched into the resonant and rounded periods of his "dashed-off" address. Joe and Marie met in the crush at the door when the show was over. Mr. Hughes was yet the lion of the dissolving audience. Women were weeping as they shook his hand. "Well, good-night, Marie," said Joe, with a quizzical look in his eyes. "Was it your oration?" she whispered, looking resentfully at the crowd about Hughes. "Word for word," answered Joe. "Let's go home, Joe, dear," she murmured. And when the orator of the evening came for the praise that was to be the breath of his mostrills the hall was very empty—Chicago Record-Herald An Organised Protest "What do you think of this 'ere new laundry trust, Weary?"

Golden Fowl's Victories Result in Imprisonment of Bird and Then of Farmer Parker. Game Protector Barger, of Lockport, N.

Parker says that during the terrible snow storms of February the pheasant FOLLOWED THE ROOSTER. came to his barnyard and shared the fowls' meals and shelter. When the warm days came the wild bird continued its visits. It fought every rooster on the farm and invariably was the victor. It then tackled the gobblers and defeated them. The domestic fowls were demoralized by the intrusion of the Mongolian. One day it followed the rooster into the coop, and one of the Parkers shut up the troublesome bird. They had it in confinement 13 days, when Protector Barger discovered the technical infraction of the law which protects golden pheasants until 1905.

Pupils Are Taught to Simulate Paralysis, Epilepsy, the Loss of a Limb, the Absence of Sight and Other "Grafts." In a dingy old building in New York close to the uginess of Chatham square more than two score of men are made cripple or blind every morning and are made whole again at night. These modern day miracles are performed upon a well organized gang of mendicants, who make their headquarters in what is known as "No. 15," and it is from here that they branch out over all of New York to wax fat upon the credulity and generosity of an uninquiring public. As evening comes a stream of poorly dressed men, bandaged or on cratches, men who have lately stood in some busy thoroughfare pitiable spectacles of misfortune, blind or paralyzed, hurry up the dingy stairways to living rooms, soon to emerge without their badges of sorrow as whole as any man and ready to enjoy the fruits of a day spent in befooing the easily humbugged public. The place where these mendicants are taught the art of deceiving the public is known, according to the Chicago Tribune, as the American hotel. On the ground floor is a saloon and above are the sleeping-rooms, where these professional beggars assume their garb of misfortune in the morning and discard it again at night. The chief of the gang of motley city bandits is a Bowery character known as "Whitey." He is a tall, well-built man of 30, who never leaves the shadows of Chatham square and does not beg himself. He is in reality business manager and stage director for the mendicants and directs their movements when they go out to beguile people in the streets. "Whitey" and two assistants map out the city and assign the beggars to certain localities, taking particular care not to place too many of the PLEASE HELP ME QUIND TWO OF WHILEY'S PUPILS. blind or of the halt in one section. It is their duty also to instruct novices in the art of becoming "good grafters." With surprising success they teach their pupils to simulate paralysis, epilepsy, the loss of a limb, or the absence of sight, and when a beggar is turned out of this novel school he is usually, an adept "Whitey" is in reality an artist, with a well grounded knowledge of human nature and of how to start the well springs of human sympathy to flowing. The "Brotherhood of Grafters," quick to recognize talent that can teach them new tricks when the old_ones have lost their effect, consider him worthy of his hire, and he is in reality their king. "Whitey" produces blind men at the rate of several a day. He also teaches his pupils how to throw an epileptic fit and make it seem natural; he instructs them in the deaf and dumb language; hides an asm or a leg as naturally as though it had been clipped off by a surgeon; in short, demonstrates all sorts of deceptions that will result in getting money without work. Epilepsy is easily simulated by a few simple twists of the face and body. The frothing at the mouth is produced by chewing a small piece of soap. By practicing these artful devices an energetic beggar can earn from $1.50 to $3.50 per day. "Whitey" gets a certain per cent of this for furnishing the brains and the rest usually goes across the bar of the American hotel during the evening, when most of the mendicants give themselves over to wild revelry. Those who make a particularly good haul and feel inclined to hear some music drift around to the Chatham club at 8 Pell street. The club is on the first floor of a rickety building and is furnished with about 100 chairs ranged about the walls and a few tables. It boasts of a piano and a concertina. In this place music and dancing are kept up all night, and the unfortunate mendicant of the day becomes the loud roostersteer of the night. Here, also, the common beggars, are reenforced by "second-story men," "pickpockets" and "soft-shoe men," and there seems to be a certain bond between the various branches of the fraternity of evil-doers. After having had as hilarious time as they wish and dissipating the money out of which they have "conned" the public during the day, the men return to No. 15 Bowyer, where most of them live. Many of them have made their homes there continuously for years, and it is seldom indeed that an arrest is made. Between Friends. Gladys—No! I would not marry a man to reform him.

Wanting Negro Servants North Professor Counsell has been receiving a great many letters from Nebraska, Illinois and other states asking for Negro servants. This week, he has a very urgent letter from a lady in Potsdam, New York, asking him to try to get up a colony of various kinds of servants for that section. The writer ask that a "black mammy" be selected for her. These letters are very significant, and indicate clearly that, where prejudice does not interfere, there is a wide field for competent Negro servants, and they will not only continue to be the preference of the South, but the North, East and West will gladly welcome the honest, faithful, loyal and competent Negro everywhere.
