THE RICHMOND PLANET VOL. XIX NO. 36 HORRIBLE CRIME IN HENRICO. A White Fiend Assaults Mrs. Keziah Banks. NOW IN HENRICO COUNTY JAIL. THE DEATH PENALTY—NO MOB ASSAULTS THE PRISON. One of the most horrible outrages ever recorded in this section was perpetrated by Charles Timberlake. A white man, upon Mrs. Keziah Banks, at 65 years, near the Bowling Green Road in Henrico county. Her husband is now confined at the Central Hospital at Petersburg, Va. Mrs. Banks went to the store to get a leaf of bread on July 19th, 1902, at about 8:30 in the evening. While there, the fland watched her and upon her leaving followed her, and criminally assaulted her. PLEADING FOR MERCY Mr. Alexander Board states that he heard screams and a voice pleading for mercy. He hastened to the scene and found that Timberlake had Mrs. Banks on the ground, endeavoring to stifle her face and was threatening her with death and kept quiet. He was using language himself for publication. It was with difficulty that he could be gotten away from her. CONTINUED THE OUTRAGE. Mr. Board yelled at him and he started towards him with a stick. This caused Board to retreat, whereupon Timberlake returned to the woman and continued the outrage. Finally, Mr. Engene Tate, white, came with his gun and fired over him. Thereupon, Timberlake grabbed the girl, Dora, who was trying to frighten him away. Board states that at this point, he knocked him down. He then went down the road. This affair occurred in the neighborhood of Chelsea Hill and created a scandal. Mrs. Banks' face and neck bear evidence of the terrible treatment she received, being scratched and bruised. A white lady also witnessed the outrage. Timberlake works at the Richmond Locomotive Works, and is said to be a tough character. TROUBLE ABOUT THE WARRANT There was difficulty in getting the authorities interested to the extent of issuing a warrant for the arrest of Timberlake. Justice Thomas investigated the case and Timberlake was sent on to the grand jury. He is now confined in the Henrico county jail, which is located in this city. Under the laws of this state criminal assault is punishable with death and those who attempt the crime and are not similar punishment. Board, who is chief witness, tells of a brutal assault告人 by Harry O'Neil, who is a friend to Timberlake. He returned the blow and has not been since molested. Help, Help, Help!

CUBAN TREATY READY CUBAN TREATY READY President Will Call Extra Session of Senate in November. NO DEFINITE DATE IS FIXED Mr. Roosevelt Hopes to Have Reciprocity Question Cleared Away Entirely Before the Regular Meeting of Congress. Washington, Aug. 13.—Advices received here indicate that President Roosevelt will call the senate in extraordinary session early in November. Ever since it became evident that nothing would be accomplished as to recubrocity with Cuba at the recent session of congress rumors of a more or less definite nature have been in circulation that the president would call an extra session either of the entire congress to enact Cuban reciprocity legislation or of the senate to ratify if possible a reciprocal treaty with Cuba. During the past week it has been stated that it was the purpose of President Roosevelt to call a special session of the senate as early as September. It can be stated by authority that he has no such intentions. His time and that of many members of the senate of both political parties will be completely occupied during September and October. It is understood to be the belief of President Roosevelt that a session of the senate held for the purpose of ratifying a reciprocity treaty with Cuba would be more likely to be fruitful of results if it is held after the November elections than if it was held before. It is assured that the question of the relations of the United States with Cuba will enter largely into the approaching campaign and it is stated that the president feels the Democrats will be less likely to offer serious opposition to a reciprocity treaty after the election than they would before that time. A treaty with Cuba practically has been prepared. It requires only the finishing touches and the signatures of Minister Quesada and Secretary of State Hay to make it ready for presentation to the senate. No definite date, it is understood has been fixed upon for the meeting of the session in November, but that it will be soon after the election is reasonably certain. The president, it is said, hopes to have the reciprocity question cleared away entirely before the regular session of congress. There is no doubt here that the present distress in Cuba is due to the failure of congress to give the products of that island an advantage in the American markets. The discussion in the Cuban congress and the passage by one branch or the other, of legislation carrying a big loan has had the effect here of intensifying the sentiment of relief to Cuba by way of reciprocity. WA8HED FROM THEIR GRAVES Awful Result of Cloudburst at Madison, N. J. Madison, N. J., Aug. 12—With scarcely a warning a cloudburst broke over Madison Sunday night, and within a short time had spread run on every side. Roads became rivers, bridges were swept away, and most terrible of all, the Presbyterian cemetery, on the west of the town, was flooded and hundreds of bodies were washed from the graves. News of the calamity spread, and soon nearly a thousand men were at work trying to secure the coffins with the bodies in them from the rush of waters. In many cases the rescuers were prevented by the flood from doing anything, but about a hundred corpses were taken from the water and carried to dry land. Undertakers from all over the county were summoned, and distaffectants were freely used to prevent any pestilence. In many cases there was no way of identifying the bodies, which were washed out of the coffins, and they will have to be interred again as nameless persons. The country for miles around is all excitement, and thousands of people are on the scene looking for traces of their dead. Besides the destruction of the cemetery the tracks of the Lackawanna Road west of Madison was destroyed by a washout and one train was wrecked as a result. The engine overturned and the brakeman was killed and the conductor and engineer perhaps fatally injured. The roads are impassable to vehicles for miles in every direction. —Father C, R. Uncles of Clayton, Del. was in the city and called on us. He will return to Epiphany College in September. He was looking well. —Mrs. Annie E.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1902. LETTER CARRIER WRIGHT SHOT A MYSTERIOUS CASE WAS IT ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION? The Wounded Man's Statement.—The Authorities Investigated.—Many Reports Circulating. Letter-carrier Jacob F. Wright was shot Saturday morning, the 9th inst., at about 8:30 as he was crossing 5th and Duval Sts., from the mail-box. The ball entered the right breast passin- g andung it and is supposed to have entered the back. It has not been removed and the effort to probe for it was unsuccessful. WENT TO HIS ASSISTANCE. Mr. Richard Bolling ran to Mr. Wright's assistance. Blood was flowing from the wound and also from his nose and mouth. He was led by Mr. Bolling and Mr. Lewis Braxton to the residence of Dr. A. W. G. Farrar, 808 St., which is about a block and a half a mile. A man named him of the serious nature of the wound carriage was ordered from Mr. A. D. Price's establishment and the unfortun- MAIL-CARRIER JACOB WRIGHT nate man carried to the Woman's League Training School and Hospital, where he was examined by Dr. R. E. Jones, Chief Surgeon and Dr. E. R. Jefferson and Dr. A. W. G. Farrar. It was deemed inadvisable to perform any operation at that time. All efforts to locate the bullet were abandoned. THE HEMORRHAGE CEASED. Mr. Wright continued to expectorate blood in copious quantities until Sunday. FIFTH AND DUVAL STREETS The above picture was made from taken by Editor Mitchell, Monday morning. Wright had just left the letter-box at which crossing the street about midway of the struck by the bullet. He staggered to a writing profusely from the wound. The picture is a view looking West. bulls came from the east, and Wrig is the man at the barrel. The above picture was made from a photograph of Fifth and Duval Sts., taken by Editor Mitchell, Monday morning, August 11th 1903. Letter-carrier Wright had just left the letter-box at which the little boy is standing and was crossing the street about midway of the further side of the pile of bricks when struck by the bullet. He staggered to the barrel, where he knelt down, bleeding on the land. The picture is a view looking Westward or towards Fourth Street. The bulls came from the east, and Wright was facing the same direction as is the man at the barrel. night, when the hemorrhage ceased. Editor Mitchell called to see him Sunday afternoon and found him comfortably situated in the front room on the third floor. The apartment was well lighted and airy. The patient's countenance seemed to indicate that he had undergone some suffering. He was cheerful however. Dr. Geo. Ben Johnson, who is regarded as one of the most skillful surgeons in the country had been called in and seemed to be of the opinion that the case was progressing as favorably as could be expected and that it was not advisable to perform the operation at that time. MR. WRIGHT'S STATEMENT Mr. Wright showed a disposition to talk and said; "I had just left the letter box on the corner of 5th and Duval streets and was crossing the middle of the street when I felt a blow in my right breast. It seemed to have come from above, and I thought that I had been struck by a rock. I crossed over to the barrel and put down my mail-bag, calling to Richard Bolling to come to my assistance. I opened my shirt and found that I had been shot. Lewis Braxton was passing at the time and he also came to assist me. I felt dizzy and began to spit blood. I then went to Dr. Farrar's and was brought from there to the hospital. There was no one in the square from Fifth to Sixth streets on Duval St. I feel no pain and I am resting easily. I am being disted. I felt very hungry yesterday evening and felt that I could have eaten heartily." SHOOTING AT A TARGET. Bidding him good-day a short time afterwards the Editor was in the neighborhood from which the shot was presumed to have been fired. In the meantime, the officer had investigated the matter and ascertained that the shooting was done by W. L. Gaines, (white), who is said to have been shooting at a target at the foot of 8th St. He was arrested. He claimed to have been practicing with an Iver and Johnson revolver, 32 calibre. The distance from where the shot was fired to where Mr. Wright was crossing the street is more than 3½ blocks, and would indicate that the shooting was done with a rifle instead of with a revolver. It was further ascertained by the Editor that the ball could not have been fired in a direct line from the foot of 8th St. and hat Wright could not have been struck unless the bull it had struck the new engine house wall and glanced downward to where the mail-carrier was crossing the street. HEARD MANY SHOTS FIRED. Gaines lives at 630 N. 8th St. Coming across the gully, the rear of a house on 6th St., was examined. About ten feet from the ground was a bullet hole where a bullet had entered about the time that Wright was shot. The men in the shoe-shop adjoining stated that they had heard four or five reports from some kind of fire-arm about that time. It seemed a miracle that some of them had not been shot as they were also in the line of the firing. In the mean-time kind, of rumors were in circulation concerning shooting. One report was that of a white boy, who resided at the south east corner of 5th and Streets had given himself up staring that he was cleaning his revolver at the time and had accidentally shot him. A WHITE LADY'S STATEMENT. The Editor called there and the white lady promptly denied the rumor. She said that she saw Mr. Wright stagger and go to the barrel where he knelt down. She called to a child to come and get some water and carry to him. This was all. Her statement was corroborated. Crossing over to the barrel on the edge of the side-walk could be seen the pool of clotted blood. No further light has been thrown on the mysterious occurrence. Gaines was admitted to bail in the sum of $1,000. Mr. Wright resides at 721 N. 8rd Street. Misses Isabelle and Sarah Davis will spend the rest of the summer in King William Co. Va., visiting there relatives and friends. M. C. Waller, who has been agent for the Richmond Beneficial Insurance Company for several years is no more agent for it.

J., Aug. 13.—Joseph Land, aged 10 years, son of a Philadelphia builder, and Daniel De Angell, aged 8 years, a son of John De Angell, of Philadelphia, an actor known on the stage as John Murphy, were drowned in the surf here yesterday in sight of thousands of summer visitors. Samuel Stagg, aged 11 years, whose home is in Newark, N. J., and who was bathing with Land and De Angell, narrowly escaped a similar fate. Land lost his life in a vain attempt to rescue De Angell. The latter was carried off his feet by a huge breaker and swept beyond his depth. Land went to his assistance, and both boys were drawn beneath the surface by the strong undertow. Stagg attempted to aid his companions, but was buffeted by the breakers to such an extent that he too would have been drowned had his cries for help not brought a life guard to his rescue. The bodies of Land and De Angell were recovered and heroic efforts were made to resuscitate the boys. The parents of the De Angell boy witnessed the drowning from the beach, and the mother fainted when the bodies were brought ashore.

The people who have been so loyal to that great man who has been the making of so many young men of his race and who has saved so many lives of our people calling for justice through his paper.

Few people would have believed that a new insurance company started in Richmond would have had such a grand send off. "The American Beneficial Insurance Company" Dr. W. F. Graham in three weeks time has the right of way. Just think of it, in two weeks time nearly 2000 members have been written up, and still they come in. The $10000.00 capital stock has been taken so rapidly until the Board will be compelled to make it $20000.00, over $4,000.00 has been paid in cash and still they come. The company is raising this large c$ amount so that the policy holders will be safe. The company is having a large number of stock holders because Dr. Graham believes that the company ought to be the peoples concern, because more of the people ought to be benefited, because the larger the number of stock holders, the stronger will be the company. In Richmond the agents can't get to the people fast enough to write them up Four of the best clerks who have spent many years in insurance work, Misses Florence E. Coleman, Ida Baker, V.

It is now an assured fact that the National Negro Business League, at the True Reformer's Hall on the 25, 26, and 27 of this month will be a success beyond our expectations, as has been clearly demonstrated in a conference between Prof. Booker T. Washington and myself, held in the city of Atlanta, Ga., on the 9th of this month. Now as it is the desire of our local league to have all the societies and business enterprises thoroughly represented at the said meeting.

A Thriing War Incident ta Striking: Ty Commemerated by One 3 ai eecan Whatever may be one’s views as to the ethical side of a project to preserve and immortalize a battlefield ‘of the civil war, the field of a north- em victory, it must be conceded that the government is slowly making of Gettysburg a most interesting and, im a way, instructive memorial of the great fight. ‘The approach to. the town by rail is made picturesque by the sudden appearance of equestrian vend other statuary marking various points of military interest, and situ: ‘Sted apparently at haphazard in field ‘or meadow, producing an effect rather startling to the unaccustomed Ameri- “an eye. When it is remem! ered that ‘over 160.000 men were engaged on both sides in the three days’ struggle, it is not surprising to note that the field itself comprises 16,000 acres, exclusive ‘of the cavalry battlefield, which is ‘situated about four miles to the east. ‘The country ix rolling and picturesque, ‘and the views from the many observa- tion towers of iron work, which have Deen erected at frequent intervals, are magnificent in extent and beauty. ‘The reat stretch of battlefield is dotted with monuments, of which no less ‘than 470 bave now been erected. In- dividual regiments have placed stones to mark their positions during the fight, and some of these are very good Fepresentations in bronze and stone of sharpshooters and kindred _sub- Jects, writes Louise Morgan Sill, in Harper's Weekly, One of the most interesting of the Private monuments, and a fair ex- ample of the kind that is being erect- ‘ed, is the shaft which bears the life- size bronze figure of @ union officer Remed Brown. Brown, in an excess of zeak disobeyed orders, and was thereupon relieved of his sword. Grasping a hatchet, he rushed, un- daunted, into the midst of the hot struggle, never slackening his impet- Rous onslaught until he had wrenched another sword from the hand of a con- federate officer, with which weapon Be continued his intrepid attack on the enemy. The monument represents Bim holding the confederate’s eword, ‘the hatchet lying at his feet. The government's monuments, as should be expected, are more costly and impressive.

Unfortunately there haw been @ bit of friction between the northern end southern ex-soldiers over some mooted points In the history of the Battle, and this hae acted very dis- eouragingly upon whatever intention Shere may bere beep. o-stiniulste the accumulation of confederate monu- ments. In one instance the ex-confed- erates claimed to have “taken” a cer- tain advantageous position om high ground. The unionists replied that the position was not “taken” at all, ‘ss it was merely abandoned by them. selves in favor of a better situation higher up. Under these dampening conditions both sides ceased arguing, and the spot remained unmarked: ‘The grounds are rapidly being ims Proved, and there are beautiful ave- nues—named for Sickles and other Prominent soldiers—which wind in and out through meadows or wood- land, and follow the course of battle, One of them leads past the “Devil's Den,” a mass of colossal rocks resting in natural poses, where some north- ern sharpshooters congregated and made bloody havoc in the opposing ranks. Some of the Gettysburg people are fond of calling John Burns their “hero.” Burns was an old man of 70 Yeare at the time of the great battle, who lived with his wife in a modest cottage. Aged though he was, he sal- lied forth to join the fighting men. When evening ‘came his friends, anx- ious for his safety, went in search of him. He was found severely wounded, and brought home ina wagon; but he Tecovered before long and lived to tell the story of his great experience, Strange as it appears, when one visits Gettysburg and sees the traces of warfare throughout the ¢own—the numerous bullet and shell holes stil remaining In doors and walls—only one citizen of the town was killed dur- ing the three days* struggle, and she & young woman of 20. Jennie Wade was in attendance upon a sick sister when the sharpshooter’s bullet killed her. In the course of a conscientious but somewhat scantily rewarded search for heroism, as it was displayed in Gettysburg itself, the people have now put up a monument. to Jennie Wade in the City cemetery.

A confederate sharpshooter, #0 posted ima tree that he could see to the rear of our breastworks, made a line shot to catch all of the three. He aimed well, but not well enough to carry out his purpose. However, the shot cut the shoulder strap on Col. Clancy's coat, cut the blouse of Capt. Sturgis at his belt, and tore a hole in the trousers of Lieut. Dutt near the ankle, Col. Clancey coolly remarked that the fellow who fired that shot was well up In his busi ness. “At Chickamauga Capt. Charles M. Barnett’s battery, company I of the Second Minois light artillery, upset the plans of a squad of confederate sharpshooters. Of to our right front was a ravine extending to the east In which were several large pine trees, all In good rifle range of the battery. A confederate sharpshooter climbed one of the trees in order to pick off some of the battery boys, He had made a few good shots when Capt. Barnett located him, sighted a gun himself, and cut the tree square off about 20 feet below the shooter. That stopped all attempts that day to pick off the men of the battery. “While this same battery was in action at Resacea it was under hot fire of the confederate artillery. Whenever the confederate guns would fire there would come from a battalion of infantry on the right, some 600 yards from us, two or three volleys, and the bullets would come down like hail on the artillerymen of our own battery. Finally, Capt. Barnett ordered his boys to change the guns to bear on the infantry part of the confederate line. They were instructed to load and fire us fast as possible, and to keep it up until he gave orders to quit. The fire waa £0 terrific and so unexpected that the perniclously active battalion was not heard from for several hours. “The ground we held at Resacca had been fought over before we oc- cupied it, and in the valley of a creek near'us lay between the lines a number of bright Springfield rifles that had been dropped by wounded men or by men killed. They were the exact pattern of our own, guns, and, as we looked at them, they seemed to be in very good condition. Haynes, of my mess, who never cleaned a gun, and knew he couldn't hire any of the boys to clean his rife for bim, said that, as inspection day was not far off, he would go into ‘the valley and get one of the new guns. He started out under a heavy fire from the contederate intrench- ments, but he went. forward, got the rife, and came back to us, not a a let having touched him. ‘1 coun that @ very fine display of courage.” The.

Paimer used this illustra. tion: “Awhile ago I met a literary man whose work is of significant conse- quence in the community, and I said to him: ‘How does your book come on?’ ‘Rather badly,” he said, ‘just now. An aged relative of mine has fallen ill. There is no place where she can be comfortably disposed, and she has been brought to my house and I must care for her. My family relations are disturbed and my work largely set aside.’ 1 said to him: ‘Have you no other duty, your duty to your book?’ He answered me: ‘One cannot choose his duty. Our duty falls upon us. It says: “Lay aside what you are undertaking and teiaicn= We do not doubt that that answers to the experience of many of us. When we start out in life we think that we can direct our ways. A goal, clear and shining, appears in the dis- tance. We say to ourselves surely it isa straight line from where I stand to that point of vantage. I have only to keep to the line and walk straight on to reach it. But before we have gone far some duty arises, and says: “Follow me; lay aside what you are undertaking and take me,” and for a true man there is no choice. ‘The voice of that unbidden specter in the way is Imperative. We do not take a summer's walk but the necessity of some fellow being whom we have never seen before may make it nec- essary for us to risk health or life. We cannot refuse the call and look at ourselves squarely in the face again, We feel that pleasure or profit or life itself kept on terms like those would not be worth having.

Brouardel's Address on the Measures Adopted by Different Nations for the Prevention ‘ol Coehamehton. ALCOHOLISM AND SUICIDE. Conclustons Which Are Drawn by Dr W. © Sullivan, of Pentonyiite, Priaoa, Eugiané. In 30 years the increase of aleohol- fsm in Great Britain is estimated at more than 100 per cent. During the same period there has been a steady increase in the suicide rate. As re- gardsattempts tocommitsuicide, there has been a similar and even more de- cided increase. Voluminous and con- vineing statistical evidence proves these two points. Tt in Hkewise shown by Dr, Tatham’s tables of occupational groups with a high rate of alcoholixm that these groups furnish a relatively high rate of suicide. Dr. W.C. Sullivan, of Pentonville prison, draws the fol- lowing conclusions: First. That the recent increase of suicide has colncided with a consider- able development of abortive suicidal attempts. These attempts, in such of their character as are ascertainable, have approximated to the type of alco- holie suicide, thereby confirming the clinical evidence, which attributes to alcoholistn the chief role in the genesis of abortive suicidal impulses. Second. That this increase of suicide has been, In a large degree, related to the influence of alcoholism, an influ- ‘ence which in the same period—as mor- tality statistics attest—has tended to augment. Third. That there is a type of alco- holie suicide, with characteristics dis- tinguishing it from suieideof other cau- saton, and that as compared with cases of deliberateandcoordinatesuicide due to other causes, alcoholic suicide is found to be more impulsive, more di- rectly and immediately related to or- ganic conditions in the individual. Fourth. The chronic intoxieation by alcohol, as we observe it, clinically pro- duces generalized disorders of viseeral function throughout the economy, whence there results an alteration and disturbance of those organic stimuli which form the groundwork of our per- sonality; those stimuli whose activity, as Maudsley pute it, in “even of more consequence In determining the tone of our feeling or of our disposition and the character of our impulses than that activity which follows impressions re- ceived from the external world.” The depressed emotional tone thereby in- duced prepares the suicidal impulse, which isaues into action when a super- vening Increase of intoxication has still further lowered the level of function the brain.

We have baited in tree warm, clear waters We have planted in the sea, wave-tossed sea and have dived in the salty main Butturine makes us back, with long- time our purpose. To jump once more in cays of yore in our boyhood's swimming hole! Twas just below the high tresle, and as the trains passed near We were wild hands from the warm shore sands and gave them a lusty cheer. Happy young racsals were we then, play, and a thoughtless roar from the new cat came to reach us there at the dear old swimming hole! The big boys dived from the trestle, some ten feet high or more. When the young one dropped, feet first, or hopped from the old springboard on shore. And oh, the thrill of that moment when From the trestle height, in the envious sight of the others who were afraid! How well we had noted the danger—the spot where the barbed lay; The strewn place, and the jagged face of the rock where the big crabs stay; Over there is the sunken log; and here's where the blood-suckler lies; On the other bank where the weeds grow in which were the snakes and the stinging files. But oh, we would love these dangers, could we only meet the trains passed near and shout in the boyhood way! In spite of the great green ocean there's a hole to dive once more as in days of yore in the dear old swimming hole! —Colorado Springs Gazette What the Sounder Said By DAVID HILL. waiting for the train, eh? Well, Sir, you'll wait just twenty minutes. No. 8 is off its beat tonight—hot box on one of the rear coaches. Won't you come in? Here, take a seat. Line is quiet just now, so I've a moment to spare. Queer messages pass over the wires? Oh yes! at least—sometimes. Joy, sorrow, business, pleasure—it makes no difference to the wire. Frequently a sprinkling of tragedy, too. Why, sir, one happened in this same office. Same time of year as this, express late same as to-night, and the party waiting for it—bless me! you are occupying the self same chair. There!—there! don't be frightened—lightning seldom strikes twice in the same place. "It was like this. The wire that night was working badly. Dots and dashes run together until it was well-nigh impossible to distinguish the letters. Adjusting the relay, tightening the different screws, cleaning the zines, and adding vitrol to the batteries failed to remove the cause. Whatever the fault, it hindered the perfect transmission of messages, if nothing more. "While working at the machine a form darkened my office window. 'Is the train nearly due?' was asked, "Overdue," I answered, petulantly. People will ask such questions, you know, with the time card staring them straight in the face. Looking up and recognizing the speaker, I added: 'The express is one-half hour late. Won't you come in, Mrs. Hadley?' "I'm looking for Charlie,' she said, as I motioned her to a seat. Same chair you are now occupying. Char- SHORT LINE SHE STAGGERED AND PITCHED FORWARD INTO MY ARMS lie's my boy, you know. He left home five years ago. It has seemed a long time—those five years—and I have missed him so much. But tonight he is coming home.' "I knew Charlie well. He was the only child and support of his widowed mother, and at the time he went away was nineteen years of age. Model youth he was, too-noble, upright, honest. Traits inherited from his mother, who was a Christian woman in every sense of the word. A noble inheritance—these fine traits of character—and sure to bring their reward. So it proved in his case. A position was offered him in New York—in some bank, I think—and he felt it his duty to accept. So did his mother. Good positions are not always picked up in that way—just for the asking. "Ah! the relay scratched just then. Did you notice it? You probably wouldn't, not being familiar with the sound. 'Stuck' some operators call it. 'Stuck' or 'scratched,' it all amounts to the same thing, nearly. So it worked on the night of the tragedy. Finally the line brightened up. That is, the 'scratching' ceased and the relay clicked in better shape. Each office holding delayed messages began fighting for the wire. A '12' silenced them, and Jack, our train dispatcher, rattled off orders for the express. Then there was another rush, and the wire was secured by 'W' of the Central, the day repeater on our division. How 'W' could sling electricity! But 'at' neither here nor there. I simulated to him with one ear, and the other to Mrs. Hadley, who was talking about her 'dear Charlie,' "Charlie was such a good boy," she still, and I can see just how she looked on she said it. "So thoughtful, too, every Tuesday when I go to the office—there is Charlie's letter in the box. How I would miss that letter if it failed to arrive. But it never will—not while Charlie is alive and well. He loves his old mother, Charlie does, and I love him better than any one else on earth. I can hardly wait, so anxious am I to clasp him in these arms." "While she was talking the sounder clicked: 'B—N—B—N.' That was my office call, so I answered it. Then, listening to Mrs. Hadley with one ear and to the sounder with the other, I copied this, one of the most hateful messages that ever passed over a wire: "Man fell from express. Lived to exclaim that his name was Charles Hadley. Home at your place. Last words were: 'Break it gently to mother,' and died." "Break it gently to mother!" Think of that! Think of it, I say, and with that mother sitting where you are, in the self same chair. Glaring at the message blank, I read and reread it, and wondered if I dreamed. I feared to give the 'O. K.' least I had misunderstood. Instead, I grasped the key and wired: 'G. A.—B. G.' (go ahead from beginning), and the message was repeated. It was the exact duplicate of the first. Then, giving the 'O. K.' I reluctantly turned and glanced across the room. I tried to speak, but the effort was useless. The words stuck in my throat. I could only stare at that mother, who continued talk like this: "Charlie's room is all arranged just as he left it when he went away. I know his little peculiarities, you see, and so have humored him in every whim. Neither could I eat alone to-night, and so have arranged the table for two. We will eat together, just as we used to in the past. Ah, shr. the gloom surrounding the old home has disappeared. It's all sunshine to-night—all sunshine. It did seem when I started for the train as if the flowers in the vases looked brighter, and the canary bird sang sweeter, and the old clock ticked with a livelier sound. I must have imagined all this. It would be quite natural, you know. Happiness makes the world look bright. and I am happy to-night, for Charlie is coming home.' "‘Coming home.’ Dare I tell her how her boy was coming home? It seemed like murder to speak the truth. I picked up that message blank, twisted it around, then desperately unwound it and twisted it over again. But my tongue was mute. Then came the whistle of the express. The crisis had come. Mrs. Hadley started to her feet. She turned toward the door. Hardly knowing what I did, I rushed toward her, grasped her by the arm, and crieled: ‘Don’t go!’ “She looked at me in surprise. “My Charlie has arrived.” “Your Charlie,’ I cried, ‘the sounder says your Charlie is dead.’ “The deed was done. She stared at me a moment—glared, almost—and then, realizing the truth, staggered and pitched forward into my arms. See the top of that Balm o’Gilead over the hill? They sleep beneath it, side by side—Charlie and his mother. Here is your train, sir.”—N. Y. Times. PLOWING WITH ELEPHANTS Barnum's Witty Reply to the Farmer Who Asked Whether It Would Pay. It may be said of P. T. Barnum that he was the majordomo or lord of laughter and fun, the protean dispenser of amusement. How well he became known through this function one curious incident, certifies, writes Joel Benton, in Century. Some years before he died, an obscure person in some remote part of Asia wrote a letter, which he dropped in the post office near him, directed to "Mr. Barnum, America." The letter reached its destination without an hour's delay. The great showman unaffectedly enjoyed being known from the very beginning of his celebrity; and when he found his celebrity was a tremendous factor in his success, he did everything that he could think of to extend the exploitation of his name. This was not to nourish vain imaginings or because he felt exalted; it was to promote business. Around his successive homes at Bridgeport, Conn., he was fond of putting something that suggested a show. Queeriy marked cattle, the sacred cow, or an elephant, were frequently among the stock to be noticed in his fields. On one occasion he had an elephantengaged in plowing on the sloping hill where it could plainly be seen by the passengers on the New Haven & Hartford railroad, an agricultural innovation that he knew would get notice of some sort in every newspaper in the country. It was even said that he received letters from farmers far and wide asking how much hay one elephant ate, and if it was more profitable to plow with an elephant than with horses or oxen. His replies were invariably frank, and were of this purport: If you have a large museum in New York, and a great railway sends trains full of passengers within eyeshot of the performance, it will pay, and pay well; but if you have no such institution, then horses or oxen will prove more economical. Once more remember the roses. It is easy enough to sigh and wish for those floral darlings now when other people have them abloom in plenty. But it is quite easy to forget until the same thing happens another summer. Buy good bushes now, and you will be happy instead of envious next year. Cautious Patient "I see you pay your doctor's bill by check and sent it by mail." "Sure. If I took him the money he might charge me for another visit."—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

An Unusual Burden Bravely Borne Resulted in the Blessing of a Sacred Memory. "Misfortunes never come singly," it is said, and sometimes, double-yoked, they tread hard on the heels of our long-expected joys. Bessie Pierson had returned from her wedding trip, established herself in her new home with her husband, and was getting accustomed to her new name of Mrs. John L. Sawyer when the misfortunes began. There were several minor ones, and then her father died, but this sorrow was followed by one even worse. Her mother suffered a severe paralytic stroke, from which it seemed at first she could not recover. Her life was saved, but the mind was nearly gone, and Bessie and her husband had no alternative but to bring her to their own home, already overhadowed by a great sorrow, and narrow their home life down to a care which would probably last for years, and which it was certain that nothing but death could relieve It is an old saying that a living sorrow is worse than a dead one. There is some real comfort in a grave which can be covered with flowers. It is the open grave that chills the heart. But in the great trouble which had come upon the young couple so soon after their marriage, there was one great consolation, as Beasle said to her nearest friends; and John was unweary kind and sympathetic. There was never a word of complaint from him, and his bearing throughout was that of a dutiful and loving son. Nevertheless, the burden pressed heavily on the shoulders of the young wife. For several weeks she had been unable to go to church. When she went she found a stranger in the pulpit. She was late, and the prayer was just beginning. There was something in it that attracted her attention from the outset, and gave her a feeling of reverence and of comfort. The minister prayed for the congregation before him, and the homes from which the people came; for fathers and mothers and little children, and finally for those children who had reversed their own relations of youth and had become the guardians of the parents who once had cared for them. It was a most unusual petition. Bessie did not remember ever to have heard such a one before. It was the very prayer which she felt she had need to offer. Her heart responded to it, and she went home comforted, cheered and strengthened, to take up her burden with new and greater courage. The brighter side of her task soon began to show itself. Changed as her mother was from what she had been, she was still amiable and sweet-spirited, and there were times when there shone through her mental weakness some glow of former recollections. Two years later the transition came. Death was kind, and the sufferer went smilingly and without pain. Above the coffin in which she lay with a look of peace on her face the young husband and his wife dropped tears, not of regret, but of genuine filial sorrow. When they returned from the grave the home was empty, as if they had lost a little child. But they had the joy of a duty performed uncomplainingly and in a spirit of love. There are many homes which have similar burdens, some of which must be borne without the knowledge of the world. It is something to support such a burden to the end, but to those who will receive it God gives grace to make the sorrow a blessing and a sacred memory.—Youth's Companion. Anti-Saloon Campaign in France. The French Anti-Saloon society, in pursuance of its campaign against strong drink, is displaying on walls and other suitable places in Paris small bills on which are printed short sentences calculated to give pause to bibulous people, such as the following from eminent personages: "Alcohol nowadays is responsible for more ravages than pestilence, famine or war."—Gladstone. "Alcohol gives neither health nor strength nor warmth nor happiness. It does nothing but harm."—Tolstoi. "Alcohol is no more a digestive than an appetizer. In whatever shape it presents itself it is a poison."—Fransique Sarcey. "Do you know what the man is drinking from the glass which shakes in his trembling hand? He is drinking the tears and the blood and the life of his wife and children."—Lamonnis. THE HIGHER FEAR. Is Not That of Punishment for Wrong Doing, But of Failure to Live Nobly. There is a lower fear and a higher fear; each is used as a motive to a right life. The lower fear of punishment for wrong doing has been preached in the past with wonderful effect; it is still needed for some men, for it is the only My friend and myself had gone to Tomahawk lake on a quest for muskies, with which the waters abound. The Northwestern train that left Chicago in the evening landed us at the little station early the following morning. By the aid of the hotel proprietor we found our way to the hostelry and registered for a few days' stay. Breakfast over we were ready for a whirl at the muskies, and it was then that we found Tom or Tom found us. He was sitting on the bow of the boat we were to use, ready to cast off as soon as the passengers were aboard. It was evident that other Tom or the landlord had taken it for granted that we wanted a guide—which was true; it was evident also that Tom was considered a good one and fully equal to our most exacting demands—which was doubly true. Though we had not engaged a guide we accepted Tom, as Heaven sent and asked no questions, nor did Tom explain as to the whyfore of his presence. "Tom." That was the only name we knew for two or three days. He, of course, had another, but we asked no questions at first, nor did Tom vouch-safe any information on that point—or any other. Between "strikes" I studied him as a matter of personal amusement, and had decided in my own mind that he was born a down-east Yankee, raised to early manhood on a Vermont or New Hampshire farm, and that he had spent the last 30 years of his life as a northwestern woodsman. It is probable that I should have gone on thinking this of him had not my friend's curiosity prompted him to ask questions. That is the way with my friend. He wants to know things, and when he does not see or hear what he wants he asks for it. He has made a success in life, and, viewing him from a newspaper man's standpoint, I think this trait accounts for much of his success. It was my friend who asked Tom his nationality. If I am to take Tom's word for his nativity I should say he was born in France, named in Ireland—his last name was Makoney—educated in New England and lived in the Wisconsin pine woods. For the last he had the dialect of the woods, and he had the stories when once you could get him started in telling them. He can tell tales by the column of the early days of log rafting down the Wisconsin and Mississippi rivers to St. Louis. In his way Tom was a diplomat. I carried a supply of cigars, and my friend was generally supplied with "bait." Tom was a user of both at times, and it depended on which he wanted at the moment as to which received the greatest attention. "Now if you will cast your line right over beside that log you will most likely git a 'strike.'" he would say to my friend, when he wanted a tap at the "bait." But the logs and other favorite spots so well known to the old guide were pointed out to me when Tom wished to smoke. In time we got to know this trait of his and rather cultivated it, for we usually got just what he said we would when we obeyed these little dictates. Because of this latter fact Tom never failed to accomplish the desired result so far as drink or cigar were concerned. Another trait of Tom's character was his evasiveness. He was never quite sure of anything, save the location of a fish when a drink or cigar was wanted. motive to real action that they will recognize. The everlasting penalty for an unrepentant sinful life still has its place in the creeds of the churches. The Prebysterian church recently reaffirmed it and the Massachusetts State Association of Congregational Churches lately refused to set aside or alter its old creed with this clause in it. About the only way to get around the Scriptural statements, which are quite explicit, is to say that they are figurative or to claim that the persistently unrepentant soul is finally extinguished; this has been a decided relief to the bad man, for he does not like to contemplate an eternity of punishment. The Scriptures taken as they read, however, show the sharpest contrast between the future state of the repentant and unrepentant; it is the dread of a dark future that has opened the eyes of many a man to his evil courses and led him to turn to God. There is a higher fear which, when it is effectually preached, is more powerful than the lower fear in leading men into the ways of righteousness. It is a fear, on the part of men, not of being lost or punished forever, but with glorious opportunities and possibilities lest they should fail to realize them. With work of the highest kind for their fellow men and the service of God, it is a fear lest they should not attain to that which is expected of them. The dread of some students in school is lest they shall fail in examinations and be placed in a lower class; the fear of others is lest they should not win first rank and the prizes; the effort of the first is to get through, if only on the smallest margin, to be saved from disgrace. The higher fear is the incentive to larger attainment in the Christian life; the motive in Christian culture and education. Prof. Huxley once said; I protest that if some great power would agree to make me always think what is true and do what is right, on condition of being turned into a sort of clock and wound up every morning. I should instantly close with the offer. The New Testament makes that offer, but not on the clock condition; certainly those men in the early times closed with Christ's offer and found in the fear lest they should not attain to the greatest things a sufficiently strong motive to set every power in them to work at its best. The maker of the lower fear is sin; no man sins against his body, mind or soul but that he fears the penalty. The maker of the higher fear is love; no man loves with his whole heart but that he fears to offend the object of his love; he strives to be worthy of that which moves his whole being—Chicago Advance. WORDS OF WISDOM I refuse to be disappointed; I will only praise—John Hannington. Do you know, I think religion is more than anything else just being thankful—Carnie Simpson. No one perseveres in the exercise of kindness in the face of so much gratitude as God.—I. O. R. Seek to cultivate a buoyant, joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life. — Alexander MacLaren. That which makes our homes and our property and our liberties secure is conscience, the feeling ingrained into the heart of the people that right is right and wrong is wrong, and that some day they will have to answer for their conduct.—Rev. Dr. Coyle. The submerging of self, its passions, its desires, its impulses, its ambitions, and the cultivation of that which enters to take possession—"Christ in you, the hope of glory." It is this that makes the Christian faith such a tremendous reality.—Rev. Dr. Clampett. Cultivate the habit of truthfulness. No liar can be a man. Truthfulness is the foundation of every other worthy quality of manhood. It is the basis of all personal excellence. It reveals itself in rectitude of life—truth in action. Truthfulness is a man's bond; it is his guarantee to others that he can be trusted.—Rev. Dr. Carson. The To-Morrows. We are all of us living in the to-morrows of life. It is true we sing, "Lord, for to-morrow and its needs I do not pray," but yet we are looking to to-morrow and its victories. We are able to endure and serve in the present by the fond hopes we cherish for some better to-morrow. He whose best days lie in the yesterdays of life is virtually dead; he is existing in the changed past. The real man lives in the future; but his greatness depends on the horizon line of that future. If his to-morrows are finally bounded by the horizon of the physical life, he has not yet learned the greatness or dignity of God's crowning glory in creation—man. Only as he looks out with a hopeful heart, and gathers into his hope the endless years of God in which he is promised a part, can he with proper poise carry the burdens of the present day. Thank God for yesterday; take courage for to-day; praise Him for the wonderful to-morrows that await us!—Baptist Union. She—Is there a sequel to that novel?

OUR GUIDE TOM A REMINISCENCE OF A FISHING TRIP IT WAS THE BIG ONE THAT GOT AWAY. E, THAT is a friend and myself, found Tom at Toma-hawk lake. I say we found Tom, but it is a debatable question as to whether we found Tom or Tom found us. These are the facts. “This looks like big one, do you tell them?” they miffed. “Well, some hev then some others reply. "French," replied Tom, without hesitation. "French!" I exclaimed. "Why, you are a down-east Yankee." "Speaking of cities," I said, as he completed a tale of a trip to St. Louis by way of the river, "have you ever been in Chicago?" "No," he replied, "an' never want to go. Got all I want of cities after seein' St. Louis." "Tom, do you think it will rain?" I asked one day as we were starting out, and the clouds were black and low. "Well, it may, and then agin it may not," he replied. "A wise man never makes the same mistake twice." "Well, but what about second marriages?" "That's another mistake."—Judge. The Commandments. Christ lived up to the commandments, hence His power, and men who have lived up to them have led powerful lives.—Rev. Dr. Van Dyke. W "This looks like a likely spot for a big one, do you think we will get them?" my friend would ask. "Well, some hev got 'em here, an' then some others hev not," he would reply. And so it would go all through the long list of questions that the fisherman invariably asks of a guide. To none was there ever a straight answer returned, unless, perchance, Tom needed a drink or cigar. He would sometimes risk his reputation for either of these. But while Tom was evasive he was also an optimist. There was nothing pessimistic about his character. He was certain that if we but stald long enough we would get the big ones, and the big ones in this case were represented by two muskles the state fish commission had captured in a seine and afterwards turned back into the lake. One welighed 84 and the other 102 pounds. They were the prizes for which we wished, though we would probably have been satisfied with half that weight. "Now a man here last week got one what weighed 42 pounds, and another might nigh as big," Tom would tell us when our spirits seemed to lag a little. "It's only a matter of time. They're in this here lake all right enough," he would add. Like all fishermen we occasionally lost a fish, and I noticed that Tom never attempted to estimate the weight of one until after it was in the boat, excepting the ones we lost. So long as the fish remained hooked Tom held his peace, and said nothing. If we landed the prize he would glance at it and say "well, 'tait very big, but the big ones is here all right enough," but the fish that got away, were all big ones. I remember losing one that I should have said would have weighed some five or six pounds only, and I am rather inclined to be generous in the matter of weight, but the instant the line parted and the muscle was free to seek his own pleasure in the waters of the lake. Tom pronounced him a big one. "It's a gol'darn pity you hed to lose that um," he said. "It wasn't a bit under 24 pounds." That was but another instance of Tom's diplomacy. We were paying him wages, and the wages would stop when we left unless some other guest should happen that way whom Tom could find. All these traits of character were rather admirable, but Tom had one that was not so. That was his stubbornness. There was one bay in the lake that we wished to try. We had been everywhere else but that bay, and my friend proposed time after time that we take a try at that. "Ian't there any fish down there, Tom?" my friend would ask. "Well, some folks catch 'em there, an' some folks don't." Tom would reply. "One man got a big one there last week." "Take us down there for awhile," my friend would say, and Tom would deliberately pull the boat the other way. But altogether we liked Tom. He was the typical guide; the type of genuine woodman that is always likeable, and whether he be French, Irish or down-east Yankee we shall always wish to find him or be found by him when we fish for muskles in Tomahawk lake. WRIGHT A. PATTERSON. P. S.-Since the above sketch was written I have received a local paper from one of the northern Wisconsin towns in the vicinity of Tomahawk lake in which I found the following notice: "Tom Maloney and Martha Jenkins were married by Justice Squeems on Tuesday of last week. The boys of Camp Three gave them a charivari at night." I saw Martha in the spring when we were there; Tom pointed her out to me, but he said nothing of his matrimonial intentions. She is a buxom lass of about half Tom's age, and his marriage to her will probably add to both his diplomacy and his evasiveness. A Natural Accompaniment.

New York Judge Tella Woman she Can Have All Her Husband Will Give Her. Magistrate Flammer, New York, decided a case in a novel manner in the West side court, and in such way as to satisfy both complainant and defendant. William Keim, a barber, haled his wife, Annie, to court, charging that she was an habitual drunkard. He said that within the last five years she had knocked his teeth down his throat, and in other ways had abused him. Both husband and wife are Germans, and the wife speaks little Eng- GETS ALL SHE WANTS TO DRINK. lish. To facilitate matter Keim acted as interpreter for the court. "What do you drink?" asked Magistrate Flammer of the defendant, who is a comely, jolly-looking woman. Keim interpreted the question to his wife, who burst into a hearty laugh. "Why, you know," she replied in German. "She drinks milk-punches," said Keim. "Why do you drink too many of them?" asked the magistrate. Again the woman laughed. "She says she only drinks what I give her," interrupted Keim. "Is that so?" said Magistrate Flammer. "Well, I don't know," answered Keim; "I do give her drinks." The whole proceeding appeared to appeal to Mrs. Keim as a huge joke. She laughed continuously, and even the dignified magistrate was affected by her good humor. "Now, I tell you what to do," he said to Keim; "will you be satisfied if your wife drinks only what you give her?" "Yes," he answered. "And you will promise not to drink any more than your husband gives you?" the magistrate asked Mrs. Keim. "Sure," she laughed; "but he gives me too much." "Well, go away, the two of you," said the magistrate. As Mrs. Keim stepped down from the bridge she said: O, that'll be all right; he gives me all I want." WISE LITTLE PIGS. They Surprised Their Owner by Addressing Him Familiarly by His First Name. In the days before Hugh J. Chisholm, of New York, had become the president of the International Paper Company and a dozen lesser concerns he lived in Portland, Me. A great delight to him, says the New York Times, was a fertile little A farmer looks on as pigs play in a muddy field. "HEUGH! HEUGH!" farm which he owned in the suburbs, and in whose management he took great interest. Frequently he relieved the tedium of the business life with a trip out to the farm to inspect the place. On one of these visits he strolled out to the piggery. The ever-ravenous porkers heard him coming, and, persistently on the look-out for feeding time, they scrambled into the trough and braced their feet against the side of the pen. As Mr. Chisholm peered over the fence the hungry swine, with a huff and a puff, began to grunt, "Heugh, heugh." "Now, how," chuckled Mr. Chisholm, "did those cute little critters know my name?"

SATURDAY.....AUGUST 16 1903. THE LYNCHING OF CRAVEN. Mr. does seem that the officials of London Oe., mean business and that the lynching of CHAS. CRAVEN at Leesburg, Va., will be atoned for by the punishment of this murderers. It should not be forgotten that it has never been conclusively proven that CRAVEN murdered WILSON. He went to his death proclaiming his innocence. It seems to be a case of "giving a dog a bad name." Because CRAVEN was a worthless character, it was presumed that he murdered the victim. The lynching of CRAVEN took place July 31st, 1902, on the Washington carn-pike, 1/2 mile from Leesburg, Va. This was almost in sight of the national capital at Washington. We confess that we cannot understand the position of Sheriff RUSSELL or Mailer LAYCOOK in their explanation of why they did not protect the prisoner. The mob was there to break into the jail. This of itself was a felony. It was there to commit murder. This was the highest crime known to the state. It was the sworn duty of these officials to prevent this at the risk of their lives. No true is this that the law provides and specifies that it is the duty of every citizen to prevent the commission of a crime. If the mob believed that it would cost dozens of lives to lynch Oraven and that some of them would be selected as principals to officiate at the funerals, there would have been a long pause, one that would have lasted even up to this day. If the colored people in that locality land taken time by the fore-lock and notified the hot-headed elements that a night would ensue and blood flow through streets of Leesburg, it would not have flowed and the delay would have been of a sufficient duration to allow Governor Montague to have hastened state troops to that locality. Lawless lynchings are getting more frequent than legal hangings. The feeling is getting the upper hand throughout the state. We must finally decide that we must protect ourselves. It seems strange that the white men who constitute mobs can not or will not realize that the lynching of a victim is an attack upon the laws as enacted by the commonwealth. The death of the victim is really of secondary importance. Troops are hurried to the scene in order to uphold the majesty of the Law. This sheriff and this jailer should have stood shoulder to shoulder in an effort to carry out their sworn obligations. The action of Judge Terns in this charge to the grand jury deserves the warmest commendation. He tells the whole story and exhorts the officers of this court to do their duty. The treatment of CRAVEN was barbarous. He was hunted with bloodbounds and no wild beast was treated with less consideration. What in consequence is it for colored men to surrender to the officers of the law? Shall we find protection in the jails of the common- wealth, or is it a short route to the gallows? Then again, granting that a lynching does not does not take place; what security is it when the court-house is surrounded by a howling mob, demanding the life's blood of the prisoner? What chance has a man for his life? He might as well die "with the ague as with the fever." ROBERT CHARLES OF Louisiana knew this. WILL HENDERSON of Alabama knew this and CHARLES CRAVEN has that information now, although he paid for it with his life. The others died like heroes and he went to his fate like a coward. It is not difficult to choose between the methods of taking off. Let us hope that Gov. MONTAGUE and the judge of Loudon county may be sustained in their efforts to bring about respect for the law. The lyncher is a murderer and an anarchist and the sooner he is outlawed and punished, the better for all concerned, while he has full sway, no citizens life is secure. SENATOR MoMILLAN DEAD Expired at His Summer Home In Massachusetts of Heart Failure. Washington, Aug. 11.—A dispatch was received here yesterday announcing the death of James McMillan, of SENATOR JAMES M'MILLAN OF MICHIGAN. Michigan, at an early hour yesterday morning at his summer home at Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass. Death was the result of heart failure, following congestion, after an illness of a very few hours. The news came as a great shock to his friends here, as when the senator left Washington shortly after the adjournment of congress he appeared to be in good health and looked forward with much satisfaction to a quiet and restful summer. Senator McMillan was a native of Ontario, having been born in Hamilton, May 12, 1838, but in early life removed to Michigan, and for many years has been prominently identified with the business interests and political life of that state, having for a number of terms been chairman of the Republican state committee. He has been a member of the senate since March 4, 1889. BARCELONA SACKED BY REBELS Battle In Venezuelan City Continued For Six Days. Port of Spain, Island of Trinidad, Aug. 13. Details of the fighting at Barcelona, Venezuela, received here by boat show that a terrible battle started on Sunday, August 3, and that on the following Wednesday the revolutionists entered the city. They kept up a continuous firing day and night, destroying houses one by one to reach the center of the city. At midnight on Thursday two-thirds of the city was in the power of the revolutionists. On Friday the government strongholds were carried, and the last survivors of the government officers tried to escape by the river to the sea, but falling in this, they made one last stand, after which, at noon Friday, they surrendered to the revolutionist commanders. Generals Francisco Monagas and Platero. Among those taken prisoners are Martin Marcano president of the state of Barcelona and commander of the government troops, eight generals and 22 colonels The dead on both sides numbered 167. All houses in the city were sacked, and in some instances inoffensive women and children were maltreated and killed. All the stores were pillaged, especially those belonging to foreigners, and the French cable office was robbed. The American, Italian and Dutch consulates were pillaged, and the consuls have asked for men-of-war to protect life and property. United States Minister Bowen at Caracas has cabled the United States cruiser Cincinnati to go to Barcelona without delay and to take provisions. The Topeka is anchored at Porto Cabelo, the Marietta is on the Orinoco, the German warship Falke is at Curacao, and the Italian cruiser Glovani Bausan and the British cruiser Palias are at La Guira.

The yellow glow in her snow-white hair As she sits on the poreh in the open air, That seems like a golden crown. Watching the cloak with dreamy eyes— I wonder what Grandma sees? In the sunshine the skies, That change and sade as the sunlight dies. Above the distant trees? All her life she has done her best To walk in the narrow path; Where she has seen the inflections of the blast. Where longing hearts find peaceful rest, In never-ending day. And now she is old and her work is done. Her treasures safe on high; The sands of her life are almost run; Heaven is the light and won, And Heaven draweth nigh. What does she see in the summer sky, Watching the sun's last ray? A shining path to her home on high The lighter grows as the days go by. And— Frank Beard, in Ransom's Horn. By H. K. WOOLEY THE Cynical Optimist reposed upon the front steps and smoked the pipe of peace. The Little Woman sat enthroned in a rattan rocker and valiantly fought mosquitoes. The gleeful shouts of playing children came through the evening air. The drone of a ceaseless and heavy bass voice sounded from a neighboring porch. In the distance a brassy toned phonograph held away. The Cynical Optimist and the Little Woman were enjoying their after- dinner siesta in the fashion of all good Americans on a warm evening. "My!" exclaimed the Little Woman. "Aren't the mosquitoes awful tonight?" The Cynical Optimist swatted his brow with a mighty swat, and gazed reflectively at the flattened remains of a large and juicy specimen. "Flerco," he assented. "Does that man ever stop talking?" he added, referring to the base-voiced one aforementioned. "That's Mr. Rosenbaum," explained the Little Woman. "He's a widower. "I'm not surprised," replied the Cynical Optimist. "I'd die too if I had to stand that all the time!" Again the silence prevailed, laden with the laughter of the children, the growl of the Rosenbaum and the tortureful strains of the phonograph. "If we were down on old Marsh's farm now," began the Cynical Optimist, "we'd hear the katydids singing to beat the band—and the frogs down in the creek bottom." "I'd like to start to-morrow on the four-hour, cindy, eunshiny railroad ride that it takes to get there. Some folks think a ride on the train is a bore. I don't. I like the humming motion, the undulating telegraph wires, the hurried march of the fields rushing by, the crush of the passed stations, the novel on my knees that I forget to read, the anticipation of what's waiting for me at my particular little red-painted station, the growing hunger for the good things that I'll soon be stowing away in my longing interior. "It's just about five o'clock in the afternoon when you descend the car steps, with an uncertain sensation in your knees, a whiskey feeling in the soles of your feet, and a bundle of wraps over your arm. Hert Marsh is waiting there with a hospitable grin and the double-seated wagon. You recognize old Jumbo in the shafts and remember the time you painfully rode him to town on a plow-horse trot. Jumbo looks around and winks a knowing eye. "You hunt around for your trunk, which you find ignominiously left on the end of the platform. You never know what an enormous, ancient relic that trunk is until you see it at the end of that platform. You resolve upon a new one next year if you can afford it. "Then for the four-mile trip out to the farm! "Oh, that four-mile, quiet, scented ride through the country twilight! You don't want to talk. You lean back in your seat and breathe deep, and just exist. It's the time of year for primroses to be blooming. They line the road with their beauty and fragrance. You sneeze, and Bert turns around to say that you'll be having 'rose fever' if you don't look out. "Now we strike the old corduroy road. Your teeth r-r-r-r and you become conscious of your spinal column while the wagon wheels grind over it. On each side in the marshland, flaunting buoyant blossoms and many-colored grasses, with a glint of water shining here and there." "Here is a quick turn and the horses' feet thud over an ancient and pictureque bridge. Then for the valley of the shadow—a hopeful and restful valley of the shadow—roofed by the whispering branches of many trees, lined with berry bushes and climbing vines and tall greesee, and the pink and yellow roses. Streaks of the low sun come glancing through, and you think in all the world there can be no happier spot than this. "But here's the home turn! The horses prick up their care and strike a faster trot. There's the house, and there's Al at the front gate, and Pa' Marash—and coming down the walk, white-aproned and of a generous wilderness, is that beloved and jolly old lady, 'Ms' Marash. Then the huggings and kissing and hand-shaking, and 'Wa-e-l, now, I never!" "We smell the dinner that's waiting for us, and we hasten to separate the travel dust from our countenances and our hands. That dinner!" "There's fried chicken—as only 'Mas' Marsh can can' chicken. There's a white mountain of mashed potatoes, dotted with luscious butter pats. There's a steaming dish of yellow beans and another of green peas, rich and tempting. There are great, generous outs of homemade bread and golden corn bread that makes your mouth water! And crisem-leaved race and deep saucers of cream. Honestream! "My gracious, how we do eat! Te' and Ma' seem to have conspired, to keep our plates full and our jaws working. "After the dinner the chat on the front porch—a tired, desultory chat—for the journey and the dinner are too much for us. Then to bed in the wide, many-windowed east room, to delicious rest, lulled by the song of the katyydids and the frogs down in the Nippersink. "We wake up early next morning—it's a year of mornings since we've seen the sun rise. We go tramping down through the dew-wet grass. Is that Bert over there beckoning? Sure! We run like two children. Bert's going to milk the cows! "We stand with bated breath and watch the white streams as they suz-z-z-suz-z-z into the tail pail. Bert produces a well-worn tin eup from somewhere and dips it into the warm bubbly stuff. Um-um-um, but it's good! No milk-trust taste about that milk! "There's 'Me' Marsh's ample form filling the kitchen doorway. Breakfast already! "I can hear the salt pork slizzing on the stove, and the splutter of the eggs as 'ma' breaks them into the pan. Oh, my! Oh, yum-yum! How I wish I was there!" "Me, too," chimed in the Little Woman. You make me just too homesick for anything to go down there." "There isn't a spot in my anatomy that doesn't ache for it." returned MILKING THE COWS. the Cynical Optimist, "but I expect I have to stay here and stew for a month or so yet—can't leave the business now. However, you can go when you like, you know." "Do you suppose," indignantly spoke the Little Woman, "that I'd go away anywhere for a good time and leave you here steaming and fretting and worrying without anybody to smooth things down for you? Why, you'd have to eat in restaurants and things and your temper would be something dreadful" "You wouldn't have to worry about my temper if you were away," he insinuated. "Wouldn't H!" knowingly retorted the Little Woman. "Well," placidly, "I'll confess that I'm not like the men you read about in the newspapers. I'll admit that I'm dependent upon one woman for most of the best things of life. I'll concede that I'd rather come home for a decent dinner and a quiet evening here than to go out and play cards with the 'boys.' But I thought maybe you'd like to get rid of me for a while. Say—these mosquitoes are getting too bloodthirsty. Let's go in." The Cynical Optimist arose and yawned cavernously. "Biff—bah! P-p-p-p—aw—yah—oo!" he suddenly spluttered. "What's the matter?" asked the Little Woman. Swallowed "bout a thousand of em!" shouted the Cynical Optimist. "Like to know what they take my mouth for anyway!" "For an invitation probably," laughed the Little Woman. "I wish," growled the Cynical Optimist, "that blamed phonograph would let up on The Holy City." I hate "The Holy City!"—Chicago Record-Herald Eating Mushrooms. In the light of modern inquiry there seems to be no reason for believing that mushrooms possess any greater food value than other ordinary fresh vegetable foods, and in many respects they compare unfavorably with them, say the Lancet. Still, the fresh, tender mushroom is undoubtedly easily digestible, and as it contains carbohydrates in addition to some diabetic value. The value is not comparable with that possessed by essential foods such as meat, milk and eggs. The mushroom, however, contains an unusual proportion of potassium salts. Few will deny that the mushroom is an excellent adjunct to many dishes; it has an appetizing flavor, and this quality alone makes it diettically valuable.

How a Tin Bucket Game Back to He Sowner After It Had Been Worn by Bruin as a Sort of Rakish Helmet. "I lost an eight-quart tin pail on the Pocoono huckleberry barrens one summer in a manner that was certainly extraordinary," said John Gilbert, the traveling groeserman, to a Chicago Inter Ocean man, "and it same back again in a way that was quite as extraordinary. "I was up there soaking rest, and, with strange inconsistency, get it into my head one day that I would go out huckleberryying. To make this trip of mine I borrowed an eight-quart tin pail at the farm where I was living, and, accompanied by the farmer's very intelligent abepherd dog Sandy, saliled forth. "The berry barren was a mile or so away, and along toward noon I had my pall pretty near filled with nice, big berries. I had enough and was thinking about starting back heme, when I heard Sandy barking in a peculiar manner off in the brush, and I went to see why he was doing it. "I carried my pall of berries along with me, as the course toward the spot was homeward. When I opened the bushes and stepped into the opening beyond them I saw at once that it was a great pity I wasn't a bear hunter, for then I would perhaps have swelled with joy. "As it was the slight gave me no pleasure at all. It was a bear that seemed to me to tower up at least eight feet as he stood erect on his haunches. "I was so scared that I couldn't move, but when the bear came near enough I mechanically raised my pall of berries and brought it down on his head like a trip hamnes. The blow had no effect on the bear, but it made SANDY RETURNED THE PAIR. a very skid-looking utensil out of the pail. And it spilled all my berries. "The bear came right on, and in my desperation I jammed the hattered pall down over his head. The pall handle dropped down and caught under his lower jaw. This took him by surprise. The pall was well down over his ears, and the handle held it securely in position. "The bear dropped on all fours and made frantic efforts to scrape the pall off, first with one paw and then with the other. Sandy assumed that his strategic move had worked to the proper result, and he retired from between my legs and attacked the enemy in the rear. "The bear at once abandoned the attempt to get the cumbering pall off of his head, and turned on the dog. The dog at once renewed his strategic tactics and took his position between my legs again. "I hadn't moved on inch from my original stand. When the bear, with the undoubted impression that the dog had shown the white feather again, saw him in his old place between my leg, he advanced to the charge again, the pall still perched on his head, and cooked to one side in a raidish way, giving him a most comical appearance in spite of his rage—something as a helmeted soldier might look with a jag on. "The bear came on and Sandy retreated. A good-sized stone lay near me. I picked it up and threw it at the bear. I hit him alongside the head and he bowled like a mad bull. "Then Sandy came back and pitched in again, and I took advantage of the engagement to streak it toward home. I turned once and looked back. "The bear, still with his rakih helmet on, was doing his best to get his slutch on the dog, and the dog was dodging him and nipping him every now and then in the rear. If Sandy wanted to stay there and fight it out with the bear, I thought that was his own business. It was me for home, and I wasn't long in getting there. "Maybe it was an hour after I got in that I was standing in the road and saw Sandy come trotting along, looking a little tired, but with never a hitch or a halt. And in his mouth he had the eight-quart tin pail. "The pail couldn't have been buttered worse if a wagon had run over it, but it was the pail, and Sandy had it. He never noticed me, but went on to the house and put the pail on the book stoop. "How he got the pell away from the bear, of course we never knew, but Sandy was never chummy with me after that, and I always thought he had is on his mind that if I hadn't run away from him that day we might have got the bear, too."

Engineered by the Champion Mean Woman of Washington. Her Dearest Enemy Got the Dress She Wanted Herself and Then She Bought Another to Get Even with Her. The address of the champion mean woman of Washington doesn't make any difference, but for the sake of con- venience she is designated in this story as Mrs. Gethunk, by the Washington Star. Mrs. Gethunk's dearest feminine enemy is another young matron who lives next door in the same row of houses. Mrs. Howsad will about fit her for the purposes of this narrative. A few weeks ago a Washington department store exhibited for sale in one of its windows a couple of "Paris model" pale blue pique dresses. They were mighty tidy looking affairs, both of the dresses. One of them was a little more elaborate as to the bottom of the skirt than the other, but they were both distinctly handsome and stylish, and, being samples, they were marked at a sacrifice figure. Oddly enough, Mrs. Gethunk and Mrs. Howsad, next door neighbors and perfect loves of enemies, contrived to make a dead heat of it in getting into the department store after those gowns. They both wanted the one with the more elaborate trimming around the bottom of the skirt. The wrangle waged pretty fiercely, but as Mrs. Howsad had crossed the wire, as it were, just a fraction of a second ahead of Mrs. Gethunk, she got the slightly more desirable gown. Mrs. Gethunk must have framed her little scheme up then and there, for she took the other plique dress. But she didn't wear it. She watched for Mrs. Howsad to emerge with hers, and she was bound to confess to herself when Mrs. Howsad did appear ```markdown ``` MRS. HOWSAD AND LILY. with her "Paris model" pique that she looked mighty stunning in it. On the following Saturday morning Mrs. Gethunk, from her kitchen window, heard Mrs. Howad, who was in her back yard, attending to her flower beds, tell the young woman in the next yard that she intended going to the White lot that evening to listen to the Marine band concert. When Mrs. Gethunk heard this her eyes sparkled. "It will cost me $15, the price of the dress," one can imagine her murmuring to herself, "but it will be worth the money." "Lily," she said aloud to her likely looking yellow maid servant, "I've bought a nice new pique dress for you, and I want you to wear it to the White lot concert this evening." Lily executed the appropriate grin of delight, which changed to ecstacy when Mrs. Gethunk brought the unworn dress downstairs and handed it over to the servant. Lily slipped up to her room and tried the dress on, and it fitted her to a T. "Your beau has half a day off on Saturday, hasn't he?" inquired Mrs. Gethunk of the colored girl, and the reply was in the affirmative. Lily's beau, as Mrs. Gethunk knew, was a ragtime-looking young yellow individual who drove a doctor's buggy, and who arrayed himself like a cake walker during his leisure hours. "Well, get him to take you to the White lot concert, then," suggested Mrs. Gethunk, and Lily hustled out to nail the young colored person to the appointment. That afternoon Mrs. Gethunk helped to tug Lily out. She even fixed the flowing green veil around Lily's hat, for she knew that Mrs. Howsad was addicted to the green veil habit, and would wear hers to the concert. It went through magnificently, and just as Mrs. Gethunk had arranged it, Mrs. Gethunk, very neatly clad, was on the White lot, with her husband, waiting for Mrs. Howsad to see the dusky Lily in a makeup identical with her own. She saw the meeting between the two. Except for their difference in color it might have been thought that Mrs. Howsad and Lily had dressed so as to be taken for twins. Everybody saw it, and of course everybody grinned over it and chucked over it. As soon as Mrs. Howsad came full tilt into the grinning Lily she flushed many tints of scarlet, and raced off the lawn for a car. She hasn't worn her pique model dress since, but Lily is more than reveling in hers. TELEPHONE INCIDENT. Havedropper on a Party Line Is Taught a Lesson Which She Will Never Forget. Telephone party lines have their amusements as well as their discomforts. When the telephone rings for a neighbor across the way it is the greatest temptation in the world for some women quietly to take down the receiver and hear what is going on. One woman who has been quite annoying to the other people on her party line got a lesson the other day she will doubtless remember. The telephone, says the Kansas City Journal, rang and, as usual, she went to it and quietly took the receiver "YES, MRS. M—YOU KNOW." down so that the two who were trying to talk could hear each other only indistinctly. "Hello, hello, Mrs. Brown. Oh, dear, somebody's got down their receiver. Can you hear me? Oh, I wish they'd stop that!" The woman who was listening heard her distinctly. "No, I can just barely hear you," came the answer indistinctly. "It's so provoking, isn't it. Now, I want you to come—" The rest of the sentence was lost. "Hello, Mrs. Brown—hello! Can you hear me now?" "Yes, a little—that woman across the street has got her receiver down—that's Mrs. M. you know. I guess she rushes to the telephone to hear what I've got to say every time my 'phone rings." "Indeed, and I don't do any such a thing," came the third voice, and the two women who were trying to talk heard the receiver go up with a soft click. "I guess she got excited and forgot herself," said Mrs. Brown. "Yes, I rather think she did," came the answer. The party line of that neighborhood works better since the incident.

A Rint for Bon Vlyants A great deal of the so-called champagne drunk in this country is really made in France of American apples. The apples are here coed, sliced and dried, sent to France, and there converted into cider.

MARTYR TO SCIENCE. Tries to Get Tuberculosis to Prove His Pet Theory. French Doctor Believes That Consumption Can Be Transferred from Cows to Human Beings and Inoculates Himself. Paul Garbault, a young and promising French physician, has placed his life in the balance in order to prove or disprove a theory. He does not believe with Robert Koch, the eminent German scientist doctor, that the tuberculosis of men and animals is so widely different that neither can be inoculated with tubercular germs taken from the other, and in order that the world may know which is right Garbault has taken a step which he believes may end his life. Unlike most persons who offer themselves up for the benefit of science, Garbault has gone into the matter from a positive standpoint. Heretofore, when scientists have been desirous of proving that such a condition is, or is not true, they have taken up the problem on its negative side, and have shown how various contagious and infectious diseases cannot be acquired. Thus the subjects upon whom the experiments are performed are reasonably sure of passing through the ordeal and coming out safely enough. But Garbault occupies another position. He believes it is possible for man to contract consumption by inoculation from bovines. Soon after Dr. Koch had conclusively proved one-half of his claim by demonstrating that cows inoculated with germs of human tuberculosis would not become infected with the disease, Garbault, who was intensely interested in the experiment, offered himself as a subject to test the validity of the other part of the claim—that the same results would be obtained by inoculating a human being with bovine tuberculosis. Dr. Koch was too conscientious to burden his soul with any such experiments, for, while he was convinced of the truth of his conclu- COFFEE BAR WANTS TO GET TUBERCULOSIS. slon, he was not willing to go to extremes in proving it. Garbault, however was not so easily satisfied. He argued that the world should know wherein Dr. Koch's arguments were correct and wherein they were lacking in fact. He was young, in perfect health, had received the degree of doctor of natural sciences, and had held the position of chief of the researches in zoology and comparative anatomy at the University of Bordeaux. Therefore when he offered himself to Dr. Koch for purposes of demonstration there was a perceptible stir among medical men. Dr. Koch consistently refused to consider the offer and Garbault continued his investigation to show that the theory of the German scientist with reference to tuberculosis inoculation was incorrect. When he offered himself to science he was firmly convinced that he would catch the disease and in all probability could not be cured. He spent a year or more in further research of cases of tuberculosis with the avowed purpose of refuting the Koch thesis. Even then he was not satisfied. He still believed that a practical test should be made, yet he was not willing to ask for or accept volunteers, so in order that the world might be made the wiser he determined that he himself should carry out the experiment which Dr. Koch had refused to attempt. With this end in view he gathered about him several eminent French physicians, and with them went to the great butchers shops of La Villette in Paris to carry out the demonstration. Baring his right arm, the courageous physician with an unfinching hand cut a wound in the forearm. Then for more than two hours he applied to the wound a fragment of a bronchial ganglion affected by tuberculosis and perfectly fresh, coming from a cow that had been seized by the sanitary inspectors of the stockyards because it was infected with the disease. At the same time a fragment of the ganglion was taken to be applied to another animal. Thus Garbault inoculated his blood with the deadly germs of tuberculosis and exposed himself to a terrible death should his claim that the theory of Dr. Koch is untrue prove to be correct. If however, the outcome is contrary to his expectations, he has already fully decided to begin anew by using a form of injection still more dangerous being that of application between the veins. Garbault's experiment has attracted widespread attention, and medical men throughout the world are eager awaiting the outcome. bathing suit is cut a trifle low? Patron—All right.

"Each spring when I listen to the learned graduation essays of a class of wealthy men's sons at a college commencement I feel that I won't be able to hold my job two weeks after those smart youths get out hustling for their daily bread in competition with me," mused the gloomy-eyed middle-aged man in the back seat.

The woman whose purse will not permit of extravagant purchases has found in it, as the present season has known it, a means of dressing becomingly and at the same time in considerable variety, without going beyond the limit of her dress allowance, and it has been quite as popular with the wealthy classes who have worn it, not because it was cheap, but because it was attractive. All through the Newport season I have noticed the blouses, their chic and charm, and now I propose to call the attention of my readers to a few of those that have caught my fancy great may history at various times. The illustrations will tell, even better than words can, of the beauties of these blouses, and the novelties in construction which they offer. One is a delightful slip of the fashionable ecrane tinted point 'd'esprit, and introduces into the yoke, by means of insertions of figured mousseline, sundry wreaths of tiny blue and white flowers, outlined with a fancy stitching. Below the yoke and its bordering band of lace insertion, the net hangs in a pouched fullness, where other flowery wreaths are introduced before it is eventually caught into a folded waistband of soft blue silk, finished off at the back with a flower-like rosette. When these flowers and this belt are in rose-pink, the effect is equally pretty, and, of course, the slip worn beneath would repeat the coloring of the flowers. In another you may note the smartness of a slip of black point d'esprit when trimmed with insertions of creamy lace in a true lover's knot design, and with narrow frillings of the lace gathered closely on the pouched fulness in front, and encircling, many times, the deep bell-shaped frill which finishes off the elbow sleeves. In yet another pictured model that well illustrates the lace blouse where DAINTY FALL We are to be favored with many dainty novelties in fall coats, of which the two models shown above are fair samples.

NE YANET CHRISTENDOM NOT CHRISTIAN Some of the Things That Would Happen If I Were So—A Great Transformation. Take up the stumbling block out of the way of my people—Isaiah 57:14. Christendom is the stumbling stone of Christianity. Christendom has the name of Jesus Christ, but lacks His spirit. Make Christendom Christian, wholly obedient to the will of Christ, and earth would become an Eden. Christendom betrays Christ—offen for gold. It was not so at first, when Christianity had no Christendom back of it, no heavy load such as Constantine, Charlemagne and Henry VIII. to carry. Note some results of making Christendom Christian. 1. Changed lives. The religion of Christ had suffered much from nominal Christianity. The Sermon on the Mount shows what the Master requires of His followers—that they be upright, honest, sincere, pure, holy. But the lives of many Christians do not harmonize with the rule of Christ. On the other hand, unholly lives reproach and betray Him. The mistakes of Christians turn the hands on the dial plate of progress backward. Holy living is the great argument. Purify the lives of Christians and soon the Master would rule the world. 2. Governments would be revolutionized. Christianity lays down rules for nations, but often these are disobeyed and shameful crimes are committed. The Golden Rule has in too many cases failed to regulate national conduct. Blood has been used as ink to write the history of many nations. Cruelty, greed, lust of gold and injustice have marred the conduct of nations bearing the name of Christ. Great states have crushed small ones, grinding them to dust with a heel of steel. We may dream of the millennium, but it will not dawn until nations regulate their conduct by the laws of Jesus Christ. 3. Christian principles put into practice would have a beneficial effect upon commerce, which has opened up the world to Christian influences. Commerce has spread its white sails upon the ocean highways of the world, and with it have gone noble men and women with messages of hope, love and salvation. But commerce has often betrayed Christ because not dominated by Christian principles. Unparalleled greed has marred commercial transactions, as when Christian nations have fitted out slave vessels and sold into perpetual servitude thousands of the race. Not long ago opium was forced upon the Chinese by bayonet and cannon; and to-day Christian nations—England, Germany and the United States—are pouring barrels of rum down heathen throats for gain. Unchristian commerce curses, blasts and withers all it touches. If men would act upon Christian principles in business there would be fewer failures and suicides and more contentment, prosperity and happiness in the world. 4. Christian literature and art would be transformed. Christianity owes much to the printing press. While there are more good and wholesome books than ever before, still there are men who run their presses night and day producing papers and books fit only for the fire, since these pollute the minds of youth. Bad literature retards Christ's kingdom and advances Satan's—which is a kingdom of darkness and death. Make unchristian literature Christian and the world would be a fitter place in which to live. What of art? Much is good, much immoral and degrading. Sad indeed it is to see Christian people willing patrons of an immoral art, covering the walls of their homes with pictures which in their effect are degrading. Art should have a fine moral purpose and enthrone beauty, purity and loveliness—in a word, Christ. Ruskin affirms that art should make religion, not luxury or pleasure, its first object. 5. If Christendom were Christian heathenism would disappear and universal peace soon bless the world. If Christians in heathen lands would let their light shine, if Christian nations would act in a Christian manner, Confucianism, Buddhism and Mohammedanism would soon cease to exist, since these forms of error would not be able to endure the white light of Christianity. "If," says Dr. Seely, "all men were true and loyal disciples of Jesus Christ wars would cease, oppression and slavery would be no more, vied and crime of every sort would disappear; there would be purity and love among all men, and the spiritual life which the Christian faith enkindles would furnish the unfailing impulse to all intellectual growth and all industrial activity. Not only righteousness but knowledge would flow through the earth, while the wilderness and the solitary place would be glad thereof, and the desert rejoice and blossom as the rose." It should be the high aim of every Christian to make the principles of the holy religion of Jesus Christ dominant over all the movements and forces of the world. Then the coronation day of Jescus Christ will come.-David G. Wylie, in N. Y. Herald. The true laws of Christian growth is to look right forward doing the duties of to-day in the light of conscience and plan better things for the future.—Rev. Dr. Harris. Pretty Fashions That Distinguish This Remarkable Season of Extravagance. O OTHER feature of the seasonable fashions has been so much in evidence during the summer as the blouse. It is popular with everyone, and deservedly the old-ivory tone of the Arab lace is set off by the rosy pink or silken bow in front, while as the gulltess of a collar band, this pretty thing can quite well be for living. THE LADY OF THE ROW THREE DAINTY NOVELTIES IN SUMMER BLOUSES DAINTY FALL COAT MODELS SMINTY FALL COAT MODELS N THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA the old-ivory tone of the Arabesque lace is set off by the roay pink of the silken bow in front, while as the neck is guiltless of a collar band, this very pretty thing can quite well be worn for dinner or theater. There is another I have seen, of which I do not give a picture, that is charming for morning wear. It is of colored glace silk which fastens in front with three cut-c steel buttons below a tucked vest, where a number of tiny black velvet bow cluster closely together, the neckband being of transparent lace edged with velvet baby ribbons, which tie at one side in a jaunty little bow. There is, too, a deep collar of tucked white mousse线 with insertion medallions of ivory lace, and the bell-shaped sleeves, with their edging of lace and velvet, give place at the elbow, to a fulness of the mousse线 A and lace, which is eventually caught in at the wrist by a cuff of lace. The smart bathing dresses of the year are of taffetta red, blue, black or white, but the trimming is invariably bands of some contrasting color, stitched or lined with braid. The fashionable skirt is well fitted to the figure around the hips and flaring abundantly around the knee— where it is finished with a deep band of silk, a band of lace insertion set in above the hem, or a plain hem of the same silk cross-stitched on. Fancy girdle belts and sashes of silk are conspicuous details, while the bodice, always a blouse, is almost invariable finished with a deep collar and chemisette vest. Hand embroidered polka dots are a pretty finish for vest and collar. In color on black they are especially pretty with a band of silk of the same shade around the edge. Another pretty mode of trimming is a wide linen colored embroidered beading run through with a band of bright silk set in above the hem and around the collar and sleeves. Pongee bathing suits are one of the novelties of the season, finished with white or colored pongee collars and belts embroidered with black rings. Wool veilings are also used for bathing suits—besides the ever serviceable mohairs. ELLEN OSMONDE. COAT MODELS the design.

Dreyfus has not even yet completely recovered from the effects of his rigorous treatment on the He du Diable. It is now stated that his eyesight is seriously affected and that there is danger of his becoming blind. Lord Curzon, of Kedleston, is sure of a step in the peerage when his Indian viceroyalty comes to an end, says the London Chronicle. He will then be in the rare, though unique, position of holding a rank greater than his father's. Herr Goldberger, the German commercial privy councilor, who spent about eight months in the United States, returning in June, will begin the publication of a series of articles on American economic affairs under the title of "The Land of Unlimited Possibilities." Emperor William is keeping close track of the millionaires of America. It is said that he gave Pierpont Morgan a surprise the other day by proving to him from some old records brought from Welsbaden that John D. Rockefeller is of German blood. The Welsbaden records showed furthermore that Mr. Rockefeller's great-grandfather had at one time worked on a farm in Ireland for an English landlord at the wages of $2\frac{1}{2}$ cents a day. Famous men are often curiously little known in the localities where they live. A correspondent recently traveling in a part of Gloucestershire, England, which is noted for the growth of plums, got into a conversation with an old resident who told him a great deal about plum culture. "Yes," he wound up, "there's good seasons. And then the good time makes up for the other and you forget your losses.

"Poor little horse!" exclaimed four-year-old Mabel the first time she saw the zebra at Lincoln park. "He's been leaning up against somebody's painted fence." Mother—"Tommy, if you don't sit still I'll have to punish you. Why can't you be patient?" Tommy—"I's pose it's hard for me to be patient as it is for you, mamma." "Mamma," said little Georgia, "does a deaf and dumb boy talk with his fingers?" "Yes, dear," replied his mother. "Well," continued the small interrogator, "how do you suppose he says his prayers if his fingers are sore?" A bright little fellow, who had been sleepy only five minutes had a dream that covered a period of nearly a week. On being told how short a time he slept he exclaimed: "My goodness, but it takes an awful long time to sleep five minutes!" "No, Johnny," said the father, as they sat at dinner, "you can't have a second piece of pie. One is enough for you." "There 'tis again," rejoined the little fellow. "You are always sayin' I must learn to eat pie with a fork, an' you won't gimme a chance to practice." —Chicago Daily News. PRETTY LITTLE NOVELTIES.

FARMERS ASK FOR PROTECTION If Troops Are Not Sent to Prevent Raids They Will Appeal to the Sheriff—Soldiers Feeding Hungry Women and Children. Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 12.—Complaint was made to brigade headquarters yesterday that strikers are foraging in the rich agricultural district of the Catawissa Valley, which spreads its broad and fertile length along the other side of the mountains north of this city. The life of one farmer has been threatened because he attempted to protect his property, and the raids have reached such serious proportions that the farmers are preparing to take some concerted action to stop further depredations. The complaints reached headquarters yesterday afternoon, and it is not unlikely that cavalry will be sent into the district for the purpose of stopping the raids. If the cavalry is sent there it is probable that a platoon of the troopers will be left in the valley to patrol the farms day and night. The farmers are drawing up a petition asking for protection, which will be sent to the sheriff in case General Gobin decides not to send the troops into the valley. 4 Lucien Munbeck, a farmer, reported that for some time past raids have been made on his place by parties of men. Early yesterday morning he caught a man tearing out whole stalks of corn. He ordered the man off the place, and as he was leaving he fired two shots at the farmer. The latter was armed, but did not shoot. A widow who owns a farm reported that several men come on her premises and started to dig out potatoes. She ordered them off the patch, but they paid no attention to her, and did not leave until they had taken all they needed. One farmer has several men patrolling his farm day and night. The foragers do not confine themselves to stealing crops, but also take away with them chickens and geese. The soldiers in camp are daily feeding several hundred women and children. They come there, saying they are hungry, and as there is more than enough food in the camp to supply the wants of the men, the officers permit the soldiers to give something to the needy applicants. The number that came last week was small, but it is increasing every day. Some of the women and all of the children come to the camp in their bare feet. Many of them bring sockets to carry the food home. It is a common sight to see some of the women and children take scraps from the leavings of the soldiers. Colonel Hoffman, of the Eighth Regiment, was asked if all of these persons were foreigners, and he replied that a good many belonged to the English-speaking classes. The officials of the Mine Workers' Union deny there is any actual want. They maintain that the local unions are well able at this time to take care of all cases of distress. The strike situation remains unchanged, and the region hereabouts is peaceful. The estimated cost of the coal miners' strike to date is as follows: To operators, $30,500,000; to strikers' wages, $14,500,000; to other workers made idle, $3,000,000; to business men in region, $10,300,000; to business men outside, $6,000,000; maintaining deputies, $775,000; maintaining non-union men, $330,000; damage to mines, $6,000,000; wage loss of lace mill strike, $120,000; cost of troops in field, $75,000; total $71,700,000. LIVELY BATTLE AT THROOP Deputies and StkRhe Exchange Shots, But Hit No One. Scranton, Pa., Aug. 12.—A lively battle occurred last night between deputies and strikers at Throop, an isolated mining village six miles north of here. Scores of shots were exchanged, but as far as is known no one was hit. The one colliery in the village is operated by the Panocean Coal Company, a branch of the Ontario and Western coal department. Last Tuesday the washery was started under the protection of armed deputies. There has been some stone throwing at the deputies and clubbing of workmen, and on several occasions the deputies discharged their guns to frighten away the boys who pelted the washery with slings shots. Yesterday at noon the four deputies guarding the company's pumping station, located on the river bank, were driven to cover by a volley of shots from the opposite shore. They returned the fire and silenced the attack. Last night when darkness fell the attack on the pump house was renewed. The company anticipated it and had a big force of deputies on hand. For an hour bullets flecked and fast. The attacking party seemed to concentrate its fire on the pump house, for it was fairly riddled with bullets. The deputies shot into the bushes on the opposite shore, only 100 feet away, making a target of the spot where the flashes of the assaulter's guns were seen. The strikers evidently quit because of their ammunition being exhausted, and this put an end to hostilities. Corporation Choir to Tour America. London, Aug. 18.—The choir which sing at the corporation of the kine in Westminster Abbey last Saturday sailed yesterday from Liverpool to make a tour of the United States and Canada. EDWARD VII CROWNED Impressive Ceremonies Held in Westminster Abbey. SERVICES WERE SHORTENED Coronation Procession Was a Beautiful Spectacle. CHEERS FOR KING AND QUEEN Their Majesties, Drawn By Eight Cream-Colored Horses, Presented a Splendid Appearance and Were Enthusiastically Applauded—After the King Was Crowned the Archbishop of York Crowned the Queen, But With Less Elaborate Ritual. London, Aug. 9—King Edward VII of England was crowned at 12.39 o'clock today, and shortly after, at 12.56 p. m., Queen Alexandra's crown was placed upon her head. The cere monies took place in Westminster Abbey, and were much shorter than those arranged for last June. One of the Royal Crowns. The procession to the Abbey started from Buckingham Palace at 10.30 a.m. First came a group of mounted officers of the headquarters staff in red and gold uniforms, stars and medals sparkling on their breasts. Following them was a detachment of the Household cavalry, the most gorgeous troops of the empire, with their German silver helmets, long horsehair plumes, red tunics, culmasses of polished steel, white leather breeches and high top boots. Over their saddles were sheepskins, and the horses, as well trained as the men, kept perfect step and line. Then came eight coaches with outriders and escorts, the coaches containing the king's brothers and other members of his family and also the grand dukes and other representatives of foreign royalties. Following them with another troop of household cavalry was a coach, only less splendid than the king's own, in which were the Prince and Princess of Wales. The coach was drawn by six jet black horses with flowing tails. The crowd, which up to this time had been murmuring applause, broke into cheers as this coach came in sight. The princes and princesses acknowledged the cheers by bowing cordially to right and left. The crowd was hardly through shouting with admiration when more waving plumes of the household cavalry betokened the king's approach. Drawn by eight cream-colored horses, with their outriders and escort, the cavalcade presented a splendid appearance. King Edward and Queen Alexandra, not wearing their crowns, were easily visible through the coach windows, and the crowd yelled rapturously. The king seemed proceculed with the ceremony ahead of him and bowed rather absently. The queen was more alert and bowed with smiling appreciation in the direction where the cheers were for the moment loudest. After these came the Duke of Bucleugh, captain general of the Royal Company of Archers; Earl Waldegrave, captain of the Yeomon of the Guard, and the Duke of Portland, master of the horse, followed by the equerries in waiting and the royal grooms. The rear division consisted of an escort of the Royal Horse Guards and the reserve squadron of the Second Life Guards. At the Abbey. As the royal party approached the middle of the abbey and the tanfare of the heralds' trumpets died away into silence the organ pealed, and the choir of the sweetest boy voices in England began the anthem "I was glad when they said unto me, We will go to the house of the Lord." The archbishop of Canterbury in his episcopal robes, preceded by the Garter king of arms and accompanied by the lord great chamberlain, the lord chancellor, the lord high constable and the earl marshal, stepped to the front of the dais and a clear voice said: "Sira, I have present unto you King Edward, the undoubted king of this realm. Wherefore all of you who are come this day to do your homage, are you willing to do the same?" Immediately everybody in the abbey shouted, "God save King Edward! God save the king!" repeating this many times until the voices merged into a general shout of acclimation. As it did down the heralds fitted their trumpets and blared a saints. The Crowning. The archbishop, standing before the sitter, took the crown in his hands and prayed God to crown the king with all princely virtues. The king who had knelt during this prayer, sent himself again in the chair, and the archbishop, attended by other bishops and the dean, advanced to where the king sat, and the archbishop, very slowly placed the crown on the king's head. There was absolute silence, and then the moment the touching the King's brow every one shouted loudly and well together, "God save the king." The heralds blew their trumpets, and outside guns fired a salute. At the same moment the peers and the kings at arms put on their own coronets. The tumult of shouts lasted some moments. When it had subsided, the archbishop prayed, and the choir sang the following strains: "Be strong and play the man. Keep the commandments of the Lord thy God and walk in his ways." Then, when the king had been presented with a Bible and blessed by the archbishop, the choir spiritedly sang the "Te Deum," while the king returned to the chair on the dals near the throne.

The archbishop of York then crowned the queen in much the same manner in which the king had been crowned, but with a less elaborate ritual. As the crown was placed on her head all the peeresses put on their coronets. In passing to her throne, which she took without further ceremony, the queen bowed low before the king. The two chairs or thrones on which their majesties were seated during the greater part of the ceremony are very fine. The one for the queen has been specially made. They are big and roomy, are upholstered in ruby velvet, with a small, tasteful design of the rose, shamrock and thistle. The top of the chair is surmounted with the royal crown with the lion and unicorn. Presented Osborne House to England as Coronation Memorial. as Coronation Memorial. London, Aug. 11.—King Edward has signaled his coronation in a memorable manner by the munificent gift to the nation of Osborne House, one of the favorite residences of the late Queen Victoria. The gift is made in the following message to his people, addressed to Prime Minister Balfour. For reasons apparent in the document itself, his majesty makes his intention public: "Buckingham Palace, Coronation Day, 1902.—Under the will of the king's much lamented mother, the Osborne House estate is, as Mr. Balfour is aware, the private estate of the sovereign. Having to spend a considerable part of the year in the capital of this kingdom and in its neighborhood, at Windsor, and having also strong home ties in the county of Norfolk, which have existed now for nearly 40 years, the king feels he will be unable to make adequate use of Osborne House as a royal residence, and he, accordingly, has determined to offer the property in the Isle of Wight as a gift to the nation. As Osborne House is sacred to the memory of the late queen, it is the king's wish that, with the exception of those apartments which were in the personal occupation of her majesty, his people shall always have access to the house, which must ever be associated with her beloved name. As regards the rest of the building, the king hopes it may be devoted to national purposes and be converted into a convalescent home for officers of the navy and army whose health has been impaired in rendering service to their country. "If, in order to give full legal effect to the king's wishes, it is found that application to parliament be necessary, the king trusts that Mr. Balfour will see that the necessary steps are in due course taken." JUDGE GRAY'S SUCCESSOR President Appolina Oliver Wendell Holmes to the Supreme Bench. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. 12.—President Roosevelt yesterday afternoon announced that he had appointed Hon. Oliver Wendell Holmes, chief justice of the supreme court of Massachusetts, to be an associate justice of the United States supreme court, vice Justice Gray, resigned. The resignation of Justice Gray was due to ill-health. Several months ago he suffered a stroke of apoplexy, which some time later was followed by another. He has not appeared on the bench since he was stricken the first time. His advanced age—74 years—told against his recovery with serious force, and he decided to resign. He was appointed an associate justice by President Arthur on December 19, 1881, his service extending, therefore, through a period of nearly 21 years. Judge Holmes, whom the president has selected as Justice Gray's successor, is one of the most distinguished lawyers and jurists of Massachusetts. His career on the bench, particularly as chief justice of the Massachusetts supreme court, has attracted wide attention. Like Justice Gray, he is a native of Massachusetts. He is a son and namesake of the late Dr. Holmes, the poet and essayist. Purchased Terminal Site. Baltimore, Aug. 13.—The Western Maryland Railroad company has purchased 125 acres of land in South Baltimore for terminal purposes, and it is said work will be begun immediately on improving the property for railroad purposes. The site is located west of Fort McHenry on the middle branch of the Patapsco. Water frontage on both sides of the point has, it is said, been acquired. It is understood that the price paid for the property was $600,000, but the details of the purchase are not available. The land for the most part has never been improved. Explained.

New Dr. Heinrich Stern, of New York Would Deal with the Criminal Alcoholia. Judges of criminals, prison wardens and the police unanimously concede that at least 70 per cent. of all perpetrated ormes are directly or indirectly attributable to alcoholism. This unusually large percentage applies principally to such offenses as the disregard of the rights of others and contempt for law and order, and to such crimes as assault, rape, disturbance of domestic peace, manalaughter and robbery, for to, all of these the habitual drunkard seems to be particularly prone. Such misdemeanors are frequently committed in a moment of passion, hence entirely unpremeditated, and so soon as the perpetrator regains his normal senses he is seized with remorse. While the sober man, it is well, is also subject to sudden and violent emotions, he is, nevertheless, by exercise of his will power, able to curb and control the impulsive and irrational dictates of his passions. He is well aware of the consequences awaiting him upon the perpetration of a crime, and, weighing them in his mind, will either abandon his project or exert his utmost precaution while executing it. While the sober man is master of his impulses, the drunkard is a slave to his emotions and passions. At the slightest provocation the inebriate may commit an assault or even manalaughter, and if an opportunity offer itself, he may commit moral delinquencies, as rape, etc. But he rarely commits such offenses as are the result of premeditation or design. Of all those convicted of perjury, but 26 per cent. or 27 per cent. are addicted to alcohol, for perjury is based on some subtle motive—either love of money or the endeavor to save another from punishment—in fact, motives originating only in the unclouded mind of the sober. Furthermore, amongst alcoholies we find but 45 per cent. are alcoholics, for arson is premeditated and usually exceeded with a distinct purpose in view. Alcohol habitually uses effects principally the brain and nervous system, which lose their normal degree of resistance, their vitality and healthy activity are reduced, and a general deterioration of brain and nerve substance is the inevitable result. More remote consequences are general retrogression of intellect, debased standard of morality, and complete or partial loss of will power. We need not descend to the confirmed drunkard to find evidence of general deterioration. Even in the malder form of habitual drunkenness we find similar conditions. The habitual alcoholic shows signs of premature deterioration, his mind is more or less inactive, his general bearing is unignified, his sentiments are more vulgar, and his sense of truthfulness is deficient. His standard of morals is toward, his love of family gradually declines, and an indifference as to the future of his offspring becomes apparent. Furthermore, he develops ruder and brutish affections, becomes irritable, jealous and peevish, and oblastively adheres to his preconceived irrational ideas and notions. The "bonhomic and congenially of certain drinkers is virtually but a species of indifference, but one of the protein manifestations of chronic alcoholism.
