Never before in the history of Kansas City has there been given an entertainment of so great proportions as that given by the joint Masonic Lodges at Convention Hall Tuesday night. Notwithstanding the inclement weather, so deep-rooted in the hearts of the people had the object of this entertainment taken hold, that early the gay, determined crowd began to gather. There was no failure. It was a success, one which places the Masonic Lodges of Kansas City on a firmer financial basis, one which reflects great credit upon the committees and managers, one which tends to uplift and gives a lesson of what a united movement in the interest of a worthy cause can accomplish. The people deserve to be proud of the entertainment. The success of the committees is the people's success. The attendance was large and appreciative. Dr. T. C. Unthank was the prime mover in this entertainment, and as a citizen is highly respected and de- In the Garden After the Resurrection serves, much credit for his untiring efforts to make the entertainment the success it was. Prof. R T. Cotes, master of ceremonies, deserves much credit. He delivered the welcoming address and made a splendid impression, as he has the ability. G. M. A. R. Chinn spoke in behalf of the jurisdiction. His was a splendid talk and was up to the standard of his practical and logical talks the boon of the jurisdiction. Judge Bradley spoke in behalf of Kansas. His talk was full of good sense, logic and was an able effort. George Teeter won the prize in the guessing contest. There were 450 people in the Grand March. The exhibition drill was up to date and pleasing. Mid the confusion of voices and dispersing drill corps could be heard sweet strains of the orchestra, soon all was silence and the ball had begun. The costumes were superb and were costly and as elaborate as seen in many balls given by the wealthy set. The ball room presented a pretty scene, for beautiful costumes, pretty faces and a profusion of flowers, as well as the guests in full dress, mid a profusion of lights, made an impression long to be remembered. The Rising Son extends good will and appreciation to the committees and managers. There was a reception given Mr. E. M. Carter, Grand Worthy Councillor of Independent Order of Calanthe of the state of Missouri at Mr. Cunningham's residence, No. 630 Campbell street, the Worthy Chancellor of Prudence Court No. 166 of Kansas City, Mo. The following guests were present: Mr. Grain Derry, Dr. J. E. Dibble, A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor for the State of Missouri K. of P., Mr. B. W. Walker, Mr. E. M. Curtis, in company with Mr. B. W. Walker, left for Richmond, Mo., where they expect to do some valuable work for the Court. LEXINGTON NEWS.

NUMBER 52 SHOULD COME TO US TRADE WITH CANADA OUR NATURAL RIGHT. Chicago Record-Therald Believes That Reasonable Reciprocity Would Strengthen Our Hold on the Markets of Our Northern Neighbor. In a speech in the House, Representative Dalzell of Pennsylvania announced "the reciprocity policy" of the Republican party. The announcement is a notification to the champions of the "iowa idea" that the stand-patters propose to control and shape the party policy upon the tariff question. Mr. Dalzell declared that the reciprocity of the Republican party "must be a reciprocity of protection." In other words, the only reciprocity that will be considered will be a reciprocity in non-competing articles. If we are to admit articles free of duty in exchange for the free admission of certain of our products to other countries the articles admitted must be such as we do not produce. This is the Dalzell idea of "reciprocity," and the one, we are assured, for which the Republican party will stand in the coming campaign. Gov. Cummins of Iowa has declared in his inaugural address last month and in numerous speeches that this is not reciprocity, and that such a policy tends to deprive American labor of its just rewards. Singularly enough, both Representative Dalzell and Gov. Cummins argue from the case of Canada, and each of them uses our trade with that country to prove his contention, the former maintaining that before the reciprocity treaty with Canada the balance of trade was largely in favor of the United States, and that while the treaty was in operation the balance was in favor of Canada. Upon this question Gov. Cummins, in his inaugural address, said: "In the last ten years American manufacturers have expended $100,000,000 in the establishments of plants in Canada which would have been kept at home, with all the labor which that implies, if there had been a fair and permanent relation existing between the two countries. Not only so, but every student of affairs knows that the chance we now have across the border will be completely destroyed unless we treat with our neighbors upon a fair reciprocal basis. "The farmers of Iowa have lost something in the foreclosure of the opportunity to feed the men who are operating the plants to which I have referred, and they will lose more when Canada raises the barrier so that England, France and Germany will supply the material for the wonderful development upon which she is just entering, and which we are so well prepared to supply." In an address at the annual Lincoln day banquet at Minneapolis, he said: "We want to sell Canada the things she must buy. We are better fitted to produce them than any other people in the world. Her needs are growing with greater rapidity than any other market which we enter. All that I say is that we are blind if we do not make an honest, faithful effort to maintain our hold upon that country and to increase our exports into its markets." Mr. Dalzell's conception of reciprocity is that of most of the party managers, while Gov. Cummins speaks for the dominant sentiment of the people of the West upon this question.—Chicago Record-Herald. Why They Hate the Tariff. "There is not a Democrat who does not believe in tearing down the tariff walls that limit commerce and breed corruption."-From the speech of Charles A. Towne, former United States Senator from Minnesota, delivered at the Democrat club in New York, Feb. 17, 1904. That is exactly the position of the Democratic party regarding the protective system. Here and there may be found a Democrat who is a protectionist at bottom or who is anxious to preserve protection for some industry or interest in his state or district, but when it comes to voting in Congress every one of them votes with his party to tear down the tariff walls. Not because the tariff walls limit commerce, for they have wonderfully increased commerce. Not because the tariff breeds corruption, for it does nothing of the sort; it breeds industry, breeds employment, breeds wages, breeds deposits in the savings banks, breeds plenty and comfort in the homes of many millions of people. It is not for these things that Democrats hate the tariff. It is because the tariff walls have for more than forty years stood between the Democratic party and the control of national affairs; because the tariff walls have all in all these years kept a million or more of Democrats out of office. That is the chief reason why all Democrats hate the tariff. Dangerous to Democracy. Republicans naturally oppose the agitation of the tariff issue, for the soundest of reasons. They hold primarily that the tariff is to-day in the hands of the party of protection; that it has been adjusted to suit the economic policy of the nation; that an agitation of the issue at this time would naturally tend to unsettle business, as it did in 1892. They believe in tariff revision by its friends. The Democratic motive in clamoring for a renewal of the tariff discussion in the coming campaign is little less than an indecent exposure of their unscrupulousness in politics. First, they do it with a view of unsettling business for partisans pur- poses. They would gladly accept Bryan's issue for the same reason, but they know that free silver can no longer frighten the business men of the country. It is no longer a dangerous issue, except to the Democratic party. Let them stir up the tariff question if they can find nothing else. It too, is a settled question, from the Republican standpoint, though by no means a "dead one." The opportunist Democracy will revive it in this campaign at their peril. It is not only settled, but it will stay settled. Dayton (Ohio) Journal. No Service Pension Law Those men who served in the civil war and who were even slightly disabled in consequence should, and do, receive liberal pensions. That is plain justice. Those who served and who are now impoverished—even though their poverty is in no way the result of their service—should, and do, receive liberal pensions. That is plain gratitude. But it would be an error to extend the already generous limits which now mark the pension laws and to pay pensions not merely to those who are in want or who were disabled but also to those who are at once sound, healthy and in comfortable circumstances. The service pension law proposes to bestow pensions of $12 a month on every man who wore the union uniform for ninety days, whether or not he was at the front and whether or not he needs a pension. Unless Uncle Sam has Fortunatus' purse this is unwise and wasteful legislation. Ample provision was made long ago for the pensioning of men suffering from disabilities due to service in the Mexican war. In 1887 congress passed an ill advised act giving all survivors above the age of 62 years a service pension of $8 a month. The advocates of service pension legislation ask congress to do on a grand scale what it did on a small scale seventeen years ago and to force pensions on something like 200,000 men who are not pensionable under existing liberal laws. A service pension law will be a costly affair, and congress should be slow to saddle new, heavy expenses upon the taxpayers. Since 1865 the disbursements for pensions have been $2,942,000,000, and while the country will not be ruined if heavy payment on account of pensions continue for several years, there ought to be some regard for economy. It is not because of the amount of money involved that the Tribune chiefly objects to service pension legislation, but because of the vicious principles underlying it. This paper protested when service pensions were given the comparatively small number of Mexican war soldiers, and it protests now when it is proposed to copy that evil precedent.-Chicago Triune. Panama Canal Commission. The Panama canal commission is composed of experts who will work harmoniously together and be a most efficient whole. In selecting the men who are to have charge of the greatest work any nation has yet undertaken, President Roosevelt was uninfluenced by political, personal or sectional considerations. He was properly deaf to appeals that he "recognize" a particular state by appointing one of its citizens a member. There are senators who are displeased because there is no patronage for them in connection with the canal. The public will not sympathize with them in their affliction. Something to Fall Back On. "The Democracy still has the tariff to fall back upon, and may be able to do something along that line."—Springfield Republican. The Democracy will, of course, fall back on the tariff. It must do so. It has no other issue on which to base an appeal to the people. Take from the Democratic mind its seated grudge against protection and you remove the last remaining reason why any man should continue to be a Democrat. The Presidential election of 1904 will be determined almost exclusively on tariff lines. British Free Trade a Failure. Last year the British government spent $35,000,000 more than its revenue. The foremost question at this time in the foremost free trade nation is a proposed return to protection. The battle may be a long one, with varying fortunes, but the fact remains that the system of free trade has been weighed and found wanting by the nation best prepared to sustain it. The United States had a treasury surplus last year and the balance will again be on the right side for the fiscal year ending with June. Loss a Billion a Year. Although the population of Great Britain has increased largely in the last thirty years, yet she sells about $110,000,000 worth of goods a year less to foreign countries than she did thirty years ago, while her imports have increased in the same period more than $800,000,000 a year, which is nearly a net loss of a billion dollars a year, or $165 for each adult male in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. No wonder they are thinking seriously about adopting protection as a national policy. Just a Suggestion. For the Democratic vice presidential nomination we take the liberty of suggesting Gov. Jeff Davis of Arkansas. He is the only man in sight who would have what might be called a fighting chance of being elected. TOP HOMANS EYE Confirmation or graduation dresses Dresses for the rite of confirmation and for the closing functions of the school year require to be simple at the same time that they are smart and are preferably made of some transparent material. This one includes the drop yoke and broad shoulders of the season with the shirrings that are so exceedingly fashionable and is made of white organdy with ruches of the same and Valenciennes lace. When liked the neck can be left low and the sleeves in elbow lengths so making the frock available for a variety of occasions. The ruchings on waist and sleeves are specially worthy of note and give the suggestion of a bolero which is both becoming and in the height of style. The costume consists of the waist and the skirt. The waist is made over a fitted foundation on which its var- ious parts are arranged, the yoke, that is cut in one piece, and the sleeves SIMPLICITY 4672 Confirmation or Graduation Dresses, 12 to 16 years. and waist that are shirred on continu- ons lines. The sleeves are large and full at and above the elbows but form long fitted cuffs below which extend well over the hands. The skirt is made of three pieces, the front gore and the circular side portions, which are shirred to give a yoke effect, and is arranged over a shallow yoke founda- tion to which the shirrings are atta- tched. The quantity of material required for medium size is $8\%$ yards 21 inches wide, $6\%$ yards 27 inches wide or $4\%$ yards 44 inches wide with 1 yard of all-over lace, $1\frac{1}{4}$ yard of silk for belt and $6\%$ yards of ruching. The pattern 4672 is cut in sizes for girls of 12, 14 and 16 years of age. Treatment of Velvet. We have to relearn and redress our impressions respecting the treatment of velvet, for nowadays we find fashionable gowns made in it are showing a succession of cordings below the waist, and trimmed halfway up with vandyked volants of tucked and gathered chiffon, whilst the sleeves are gathered into the shoulder pieces and end in a bell form above the elbow—the new bell shape, which is slightly drawn in to gatherings above the ruffle. Where real lace is employed this is often put on plain and not full. The chiffon which trims it need not necessarily exactly match, but may be shaded, as it often is. Plastron yokes of quite a distinct character are introduced, and generally beautifully embroidered, as often as not white or cream color. Velvet is employed with cloth as trimming, emphasizing the coloring, and often overlapped by heavy lace applique. Duck Covered Hats The woman who prefers a tint to the all-white costume might select pale blue linen. The blouse can be laid in tucks and embroidered, in the front, with wash silk in Persian or cross-stitch design. With a sailor hat and parasol, also of blue linen, and a pair of neatly fitting white canvas shoes, she can't fail to satisfy the most extravagant critic. The cotton-covered sailor hat is to figure largely in next summer's millinery. Linen, batiste and broderie anglaise will all be used as coverings for it. This new trimming—broderie anglaise—is also found to some extent on linen suits and shirtwalsters. On the thin gowns, such as mulls, dimities and so on, the soft laces are used in profusion. How They Wear Vells The French woman arranges hers just to include the tip of her nose, and allows it to fall in loose and graceful folds at the back. It is a style that is recalled from the beginning of last century. Brown and black Chantilly arranged in this way are very graceful. The Americans drape the vell over the back of the hat in another style no other nation seems able to copy. The English woman strains hers over her face, overlapping the chin. The itssian abjures them altogether. How to Prepare Fowl Boll the fowl until it is done and then take out and cut all the meat from the bones. Then make a number of slices of toast, trimming off the crusts, arrange them about the sides of a large platter, and then put the chicken inside of toast border. Then let the stock boll up and stir in a pint of cream or milk. Add salt and pepper, and when stock is well heated stir in a thickening made with a few spoons of flour stirred in a little milk. Pour this delicious cream gravy over it all, and see if your platter doesn't leave the table empty. Serve bolled potatoes and mashed turnips with this. To Clean India Rubber Hot-water bags, air cushions and soon are liable with use to lose their pristine fairness; it may therefore prove useful to know how this may be restored. Omnipotent soap and water again is called into requisition A piece of clean household flannel should be wet with lukewarm water and rubbed upon a bar of common yellow soap. When a lather is obtained, apply the flannel to the rubber and pass it briskly over the surface. This will speedily make the article clean, and it may then be set to dry in a cool place, but not by the fire or in the sun. Soft Taffetas Soft taffetas are again coming into vogue for evening as well as day wear. Rose color is a favorite shade just now in Paris, absolutely smothered with lace. Yak silk fringe and chenille form a popular trimming for pastel cloth frocks. Pale blue and whitty-brown shades are really pretty, but can only be worn by women with some pretension to chic, otherwise the effect is somber and even dowdy. Circular Flouances. Flat circular floures are very much used as trimming for the broadcloth skirt. Ornamentation now comes toward the middle of the skirt, the lower edge often being left untrimmed. Blouse Waist Cape effects of all sorts mark the season and are becoming to the generality of figures. This stylish waist shows a deep collar of a novel sort and one that is quite simply made. As illustrated the material for the blouse is white Persian lawn and the trimming embroidered flouncing and insertion. The flouncing makes the collar which is seamed at the shoulders where it droops well over the sleeves. All waisting materials are, however appropriate and the cape collar can be made to match the waist with the 4871 Blouse Waist, 32 to 40 bust. edge embroidered or trimmed in an manner that may be preferred. The waist is made with fronts and backs and is fitted by means of shoul- der and under-arm seams. The fronts are tucked at the shoulders to yoke depth and both fronts and back are arranged in full length tucks that give a double box plait effect at the center. The cape collar is shaped by means of the shoulder seams and its edges are attached beneath the outer tucks of these groups. The sleeves are full below the elbows, smaller above and are finished with straight cuffs in conformity with the accepted style. The quantity of material required for medium size is 4 yards 21 inches wide, $3\%$ yards 27 inches wide or $2\%$ yards 44 inches wide, with $1\%$ yards of embroidery 9 inches wide for cape collar and $1\%$ yards of insertion to trim as illustrated in medium size. The pattern, 4671, is cut in sizes for a 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40 inch bust measure.

From his antediluvian dose. you don't believe it. ask the next circus man you meet) Clock Centuries Old. A clock which, it is believed, was used in the days of Columbus, has lately come into the possession of Emil Kuenhel of Manchester, N. H. When it was discovered recently in the garret of a house it was supposed to be of little value. The face is of wood and the figures representing the hours of the day were cut into the wood by a jackknife or some such instrument. The ancient timepieces was given to Chas. Wolf, who, in turn, presented it to Mr. Kuenhel, who had it cleaned up. On the upper part of the wooden face of the clock a profile of Columbus has been carved in the wood, while on the lower part "Anno, 1492," is neatly carved. Two bottles are used as weights. On either side of the clock the queer weights are attached to a cord, which runs over a little wooden cog wheel in the clock. One bottle is heavier than the other, and as the weight carries the other bottle up, the cog wheel over which the cord runs moves two other cog wheels, the hour hand of the clock being attached to one of them. Postal Charges In 1820. On the back of an old-fashioned clock recently taken to a Rockland, Me., jeweler for repairs was pasted the U. S. rates in force in 1820. The postal rates for a single letter carried 36 miles were 6 cents; not exceeding 80 miles, 10 cents; over 40 miles 25 cents. Double and triple letters cost in ratio to the above. If, for instance, a resident of Rockland wished to send a triple letter to Philadelphia it cost 75 cents in the year 1822, whereas the same amount of manuscript could now be sent for 2 cents. It cost 1 cent to send a newspaper, if not more than 100 miles. Quita Business at 112. Dolores Solnasia, the oldest man in Los Angeles county, and probably the oldest Mexican in California, has decided to retire from active life. Recently he refused his annual job of chopping and hauling wood for the people of Acton. Dolores is 112 years of age, and has for 50 years past lived the life of a recluse in a small, rudely constructed shack near the outskirts of that town. New York Journal. Origin of Land Surveying. The art of land surveying owes its origin to the fact that the Egyptians were unable to keep permanent monuments on land which was overflowed every year by the Nile. Under such circumstances it became necessary to have some means of re-identifying the various pieces of land. The instruments and mathematical methods of astronomy, with suitable modifications, were used by the Egyptians for land surveying. Stopped at Unlucky Moment. In a Buxton, Me., vestry two housewives had taken advantage of a psalm tune to exchange recipes for frying parsnips. Suddenly the wheezy old melodeon gave out, and the worshipers were astonished to hear a cracked old voice shrill out in the sudden silence. "Well, I fry mine in butter!" Had Ingenious Excuse. In the Portland (Maine) municipal court a woman got to the limit of excuses by saying that an apparent drunkenness was in reality only a desperate attempt on her part to break in a pair of new shoes and at the same time to walk on ice. Judge Hill smiled, but gave her thirty days. Divorce in Japan. If a Japanese husband divorces his wife he makes no provision for her, and she has no dowry from her family; but divorced women in Japan noarly always marry again. She brings him nothing but a gentle and obedient slave, and takes nothing away with her but the same value commodity. Has No Competition. John L. Tuckerman placed the halliards on the "Liberty" pole at Portsmouth, N. H., this year, as he has done in March for several years past. The pole is 114 feet high, and Mr. Tuckerman is 75 years of age, but few people care to volunteer to relieve him of the duty. Hearse as Place of Refuge. Few men would take refuge in a hearse in order to escape arrest for an ordinary infraction of the law, but that is what a Providence, R.

Jackson, of East Front St., Traverse City, Mich., says: "For twenty years I never knew what it was to have good health. Every physician consulted said I had liver trouble, but their medicines did me no good. Just before I began using Doan's Kidney Pills I was almost paralyzed. I could hardly stand on my feet because of the numbness and lack of circulation. Had a knife been thrust into my kidneys the pain could not have been more intense. My sleep was disturbed by visions of distorted figures, the kidney secretions were annoyingly irregular and I was tortured with thirst and always bloated. I used seven boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills. The boating subsided until I weighed one hundred pounds less, could sleep like a child and was relieved of the pain and the irregularity of the kidney action. My circulation is good and I feel better in every way." A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mrs. Jackson will be mailed on application to any part of the United States.

The most northern railway in the world is the line from Navik, in Norway, across Lapland, connecting the Baltic with the Atlantic and giving access to valuable ore deposits. It reaches latitude 68 degrees 27 minutes and thus lies within the Arctic circle. The White Pass railroad in Alaska reaches a latitude of 60 degrees.

D., March 28.—Quite a sensation has been created here by the publication of the story of G. W. Gray who, after a special treatment for three months was prostitute and helpless and given up to die with Bright's Disease. Bright's Disease has always been considered incurable, but evidently from the story told by Mr. Gray, there is a remedy which will cure it even in the most advanced stages. This is what he says: "I was helpless as a little babe. My wife and I searched everything and read everything we could find about Bright's Disease, hoping that I would be able to find a remedy. After many failures my wife insisted that I should try Dodd's Kidney Pills.

The Easter Sacrifice PS of Bet Brown It was now painfully evident to the {nhabitants of Swampton that Betsy Brown would be irreconcilable over the installation of a new singing teacher in the village. Not only did she express forcibly her opinion on this subject, but Mrs. Parker, the first lady of Swampton, took it upon herself to discuss tho weighty mat ter; hence the good people were in no further doubt as to what would be the outcome, “There ain't no use talkin’ ag’in ‘bout 4ie-matter to Betsy,” sald Mrs. Parker. “You kin mark my word that human power can't move or alter the bent o' her mind, You know, Sister Bingham, as well as I do, the mean in’ o' her no—she ain't been a citizen o' Swampton fur these thirty year far everyfody not to understand that much ‘bout her make-up—an' if she ain't answered s vehement ‘no’ to every mention o' this matter, I don’t know when she ever did.” After this declaration from thelr leader the ladies ceased mentioning before Betsy the results of thelr in: vestigations toward securing a new Se ° : C ie ° “i Mm uy Singer. Betsy quickly noticed the “direct snub,” as she termed it, and her ire, already so strongly aroused, was far from being soothed by this last manifestation of thelr disregard of her advice, “It's all the doin's o' them New England Conservatory girls, who boarded at Mother Jones’ last sum: mer,” Betsy mentally reiterated as she went about her Iittle cottage com pleting the various daily tasks which formed a necessary part of her lonely Mfe. “All their doin's, They poisoned the minds 0’ these people ag'in me. Ain't {t my own?” she flercely ques- tloned herself. “Ain't I earned a right to at least this territory ‘round about Swampton? 1 should think they'd feel like showin’ me a Ittle mite o' consideration after I've served ‘um, an’ served ‘um #0 uncommonly well, fur the last thirty year. Well, they'll find they can't keep mo fur one o' ‘their citizens an’ inflict on me, fur all my past services, such an’ indignity as that. No, sir. Betsy Brown never'lt stand it now no more'n she would thirty-eight year back, when he tried to torment her by makin’ love, under her very eyes, to—to—the other un, Never. As much as I hate to leave this Httle home, where I've been least ways middlin’ contented, I'll pack my traps an’ go back to live with Sarah Ann, where I'm certain of bein’ al ways welcome. No young stuck-up will have the fun o' witnessin’ my downfall.” She let drop her broom on the Kitchen floor, walked into her bed- room, stationed herself before her mirror, and, with her arms akimbo, silently regarded her likeness for some minutes. Then she sadly shook her head and said: “No, no, Betsy, your beauty's all left you. He'd never take you fur the sprightly, plump, an’ rosy-cheeked Betsy 0’ one time.” She brushed a tear from her cheek as she smiled faintly and continued, “Though, I'll tell you, Betsy, he might learn to re. member you by your willfulness. But this matter ain't worth considerin’, Betsy, fur even if you should ever meet him ag'in, an’ even if you had all the bloom an’ beauty o' your girl. hood days, he wouldn't care now no more'n he did then.” The evening before Easter great, excitement reigned in the village, for tomorrow morning thelr new singer, | who had come to them all the way from Boston, would make her debut at the Methodist church. She arrived at Mother Jones’ Saturday morning, and, during the afternoon, almost the entire village population called on her—attempted to call, would be stat- ing it more accurately, for Mother Jones had seen fit to direct other wise. | “I-aln’t @-goin’ to let nobody disturb, the poor mite to-day,” she repeated to every caller, “She's worn out with travelin’, an’ I mean to see that she gite a little rest.” Despite this lady's declaration, how. ever, one saw her, and that one was Betsy. “What under the heavens posscssea me to go a-borrowin’ eggs this after- noon o' Mother Jones?” queried Betsy to her mizror, wien she entered her Utle bedroom. “I might a-known nN |b ’ on her there in the kitchen was ar ordeal! Oh, my head!" she moaned a8 she let it rest on her hands. Yot must go straight to bed an’ to rest, Botsy, or you'll never git away alive frum Swampton. But you won't be a-findin’ rest in your bed this night will you, Betsy? No, not with that name a-ringin’ in your ears an’ that face, so like her father’s, a-floatin ‘round in your mind's eys, So uncom: monly queer! ‘Then he married her, after all. No, Betsy, you rever thought {t was more’n a flirtation, did yout You never thought he was a man that ‘ud go to the extent o' marryin’ any. body, Oh, poor, old Betsy, you never was in such a muddle afore, was you now?" she whispered, as she c!imbed {nto her bed and cuddled unde: the covers. Her drawn, tense features alone told that depth of agony her simple words failed to convey. Easter morning so crowded was the little church that all available standing room was occupied. Grim and silent sat Betsy Brown fn the Seat nearest the door, not among the singers this morning. As the choir filed into their seats, the attention of the audience was con- ceatrated on a small, timid-looking young girl, who headed the proces- ston. “Don't see how even Betsy could help lovin’ her,” whispered Mra. Park- er to Mrs, Bingham. “Why, she's @ perfect beauty! An’ ‘stead o' haughty. like, she's so mild an’ gentle-lookin’.” ‘That's just 80,” responded Mrs, Bingham. “But, mercy, she's 80 lit. tle, I don’t see where her voice’s a comin’ frum."* It took only a few notes, however, to convince Swampton's people that the strength of a volce cannot be measured by the size of the body, and to convince them, also, of other great qualities in that sweet, full voice as it swelled richly forth ‘or murmured gently at the singer's will. “God brought me here to show me the Imposter that 1 am,” mused Betsy in another part of the church. “But {t won't be fur the sake o' her voice that I'll make this sacrifice. No, itl be fur his own sake. Livin’ or dead though he may be, 1 know well enough he'd iike me to treat his daughter this way. An’ I'll do it.” As the pastor pronounced the bene+ diction, Betsy Brown walked firmly up the aisle and waited her turn to shake hands with Gertrude Shaddock, Presently she grasped heartily the lit- tle hand, and asked the owner to dine with her, That afternoon, in Betsy's dismantled dining room, amid half- packed trunks and scattered rubbish, the two women related to each other the sorrows of thelr lives; for the little singer was not without her own grlefs. Besides losing both her moth- er and father, she had, like Betsy, loved and lost, therefore she had gladly accepted this position, not merely to maintain herself, but, for a time at least, to hide away with her grief from the world. Before she left that day, Betsy announced her inten tion of turning over ail her pupils to the tutorship of Gertrude, or remain- ing herself in Swampton, if Gertrude would allow her to remain as a board: ef, and of settling, at once, on her new friend twothirds of her small fortune, which, however, was an am- i Ui ut if y at) ba , iH bans cies aA ple amount for the comfortable sup port of both, Later the villagers, at a loss to com Prehend the motive for Betsy's sudden change, could only volce Mrs. Park: er’s opinion that ‘twas all because Gertrude Shaddock had charmed her rival by her beautiful singin’.” But had they seen the worn, bent little figure, Easter evening, creep tc a closet drawer, take out from many wrappings a man's faded picture, kiss ft amid showers of tears, and whis per, “I did it all fur you, dear, all fur you, although you never cared fur me,” their bellef in the charm. of the singer's volce over at least one of their Inhabitants would have perished —New York Times.

This {dea originated among the subjects of the Pharaohs, from their close ob- servance of the habits of the scarabs, or sacred beetle, which buried its ball In the grave it had made for iteelt. in the hope, as they thougbt, of a speedy resurrection, It never occurred to them that the pellets contained eggs, which in the fullness of time were brought to maturity by the warmth of the sun, When the {n- sect appeared once more among them, they were contented to believe It was the original one they had seen bury Itself in the same spot, now brought to life again by the sun god, So the beetle was reverenced by them as a sacred thing, because it gave them hope of a similar resurrection of their mummified bodies, Among the ancient Exyptians every soldier was compelled to wear a ring, upon which a scarab, or sacred beetle, ‘was engraved. The object of this was to make him valorous in battle, the scarab being the symbol of regen: eration or resurrection, _ By the Jews the egg was looked upon as a symbol of the duration of the human race, and of their succes: sive generations. It entered into all the mysterious ceremonies called apocalyptic, and occupied a prominent position on the household table dur- ing the paschal season, The only food laid before mourners on return: ing to the home after a funeral con. sisted of hard-boiled eggs and salt, the symbols of regeneration and in- corruptibility. In accordance with the traditions of the Persians, the world was hatched from one egg in the begin ning, at the season of the year which corresponds with the vernal equinox, for which reason eggs are popularly presented as New Year gifts by the modern Persians, It was from this custom that the northern nations came to regard the paschal eggs as emblematical of creation, or the re creation of spring at the yerna) equinox, When Christianity usurped the pagan rites and observances of the Saxons, the paschal eggs were in. vested with a new significance, name- ly, that of the resurrection of Christ These eggs were at first colored red, in allusion to the blood shed for the salvation of men, Gradually the Easter-egg custom has become universal over the world Millions of people eat their Easter eggs on this great festival day, cele. brated in remembrance of resurrec: tion, but only a very few are acquaint- ed with the origin of the custom. The eggs are not now painted red only, but they are dyed all possible bright colors, Also, mottoes are written on the shells. In European countries hundreds of artists are occupled pre. parag Easter-egg sheils for gale, These shells show on their outside paintings of landscapes, figures and even portraits, Imitation eggs are now manufactured, which are to be pened, and which lovers present to | gach other, having made them more | precious by putting in jewelry, etc. | And when a couple {s married at Eastertide, in Germany, the wedding ings are presented In the shells of | Easter eggs. | In most of the German cities bands of musicians walk through the streets performing the so-called “Easter. | music.” When they stop in front of | residences they are presented with Easter eggs. In smaller towns ana villages it is the custom for the school children to walk in long pro cessions through the streets, singing the Easter choral, and when they re- turn to the schoolhouse they are pre- sented with scores of eggs, which the inhabitants of the place have sent for them in a big basket, Very often when these children pass houses, people come out and join them in the chorus, It is a@ fashion that all ministers, especially those in the country places, are presented with many eggs by the members of their congregations, ‘These eggs are then given away again by the clergymen to the poor people of the parish, But the greatest festival for chil- dren In Germany is the “Elersuchen” (seeking for eggs) on Easter morn- ing after church service. It can be said as a fact that there is no family in the whole of Germany where this “Elersucben” does not take place if there are children in the home, The ees are all hard bolled, and colored in Dright colors. If the weather is food, the mothers hide dozens and dozens of these eggs, putting them in different places in the grass, in bushes and flowers in the garden, If the weather is bad, the parlor is used for the “Elersuchen.” It is one of German children’s greatest pleasures to find these eggs, and each one found is welcomed with @ loud hun rah, Very often there are added egge made of candy and chocolate, For “grown-up” young folks, also, Rs parties are given, at which “Eler- suchen” takes place.’ Then girls and boys exchange their eggs they have found, making love to each other, Observances During Lent. ‘Theer are many old customs of gly. ing or scattering money or broad and cake at some time during Lent, In some places on Palm Sunday cakes Were cast from the steeples of parish churches to be scrambled for by small boys, to the amusement of the by: standers, Says an old writer: “Then cakes must bo caste out of the steeple, that all the boys in the parish must Hie scrambling together by the eares, tyl al the parish faileth a laughing.” Henry VII ordered that the carry- ing of palms should not be discontin: ued but this was soon left to the peo: plo as a voluntary service, and only the more or less secular customs con- heeted with it were continued.

This, although the theory, must be taken with modification in actual practice, because ecclesiastical dictum — fixes the vernal equinox Invariably on the 2ist of March, though this may not be the astronomical fact; because the full moon is fixed at the Lith day and because the beginning of the Paschal moon ts determined by the table of epacts, which only approximate the fact.

THE REPUBLICAN CITY TICKET. The class of men selected for the several city offices at the Republican convention last week must necessarily appeal to the citizens and tax-payers of Kansas City. Thep represent the highest type of men and the most progressive. They are men of repute and worth and executive ability. If the ticket is elected the tax payer can retire at night with satisfaction and peace of mind, The Democrat, the So- cialist, the Populist, the Prohibitionist, in fact the citizen of every political faith can afofrd to vote for the nom- inees of the Republican ticket. WHY THE NEGRO SHOULD VOTE THE REPUBLICAN TICKET. Because the Republican party gave the Negro the right to the ballot. Al so made it possible for him to cast the ballot, enabling him to have free schools and in fact all the legislative powers given to the Negro have been given him by the Republican party In this country. ‘To the brother in black, you that believe in good government, equal rights and Justice to all, it {s your duty i yourself, wife and children that you shauld vote the Republican ticket, if you have never voted the Republican ticket, this is your time to vote the Re- publican ticket. ‘The selection of Mr, Walter 8. Dickey for the chairmanshp of the city central committee is an important one, It means that the Republican cam- paign will be handled in a business- like manner and carried to a success: ful close. Col. E. 8. Jewett, a member for the Upper House need no introduction to the voters of Kansas City, He is ono of the old-time Republicans, A PROTEST AGAINST THE BURN: ING AND LYNCHING OF NE- GROES. ee eee Re Nee ene [The following letter was ea printed in the Birmingham Age-Her- ald, Monday, February 29, 1904, and was also sent out by the Associated Press to the newspapers of the coun- try] Within the last fortnight three mem- bers of my race have been burned at the stake; one of these was & woman. Not one of the three was charged with any crime even remotely connected with the abuse of a white woman. In every case murder was the sole ac: cusation. All of these burnings took place in broad daylight and two of them occurred on Sunday afternoon in sight of a Christian church. In the midst o fthe nation’s busy and prosperous life few, I fear, take time to consider where these brutal and inhuman crimes are leading us. | The custom of burning human beings has become so common as scarcely to excite interest or attract unusual at- tention. I have always been among those who condemned in the strongest terms crimes of whatever character committed by members of my race, and T condemn them now with equal severity; but T maintain that the only protection of our civilization is @ fair and calm trial of all people charged with crime and in their legal punish: ment if proved guilty. || There is no shadow of excuse for de parture from legal methods in the ‘}cases of individuals accused of mur '|der. The laws are as a rule made by || the white people and their execution 1: ‘Jin the hands of the white people; sc '|that there is little probability of anj guilty colored man escaping. These burnings without a trial ar In the deepest sense unjust to m ‘|race; but it is not this injustice alon which stirs my heart. ‘These barbar -|ous scenes, followed as they are b; *| publication of the shocking details ar more disgraceful and degrading to th t| people who inflict the punishmen "| than those who receive it. | If the law is disregarded when | Negro Is concerned, it will soon be dt | rogarded when a white man is cor } cerned; and, besides, the rule of th s-| mo destroys the friendly relation | which should exist between the race a | ana injures and interferes with th material prosperity of the commut ¥ | ties concerned, e-| Worst of all these outrages tal r-| place in communities where there ai ie} Christian churches; fm the midst e-| people who have their Sunday school us| thelr Christian Endeavor Socletl is}and Young Men's Christian Assoc! no | tions, where collections are taken 1 or! for sending missionaries to Africa at ny|the rest of the so-called hoath m- | world. ch] Is it not possible for pulpit a co} press to speak out against these bur of! ings in @ manner that shall arou ;a|a public sentiment that will comy as| the mob to cease insulting our cour jco| our governors and legal authorit he | cease bringing shame and ridicule 1 of] on our Christian civilization? he BOOKER T. WASHINGTON | Tuskegee, Ala,, Feb, 22, 1904, DUEFE AND REPP. ‘The enterprise and business sagac- ity of Kansas City merchants is a source of pride and inspiration—teit alike by citizens in every walk of life. ‘To no line of trade 1s this assertion more applicable than that of the furnt- ‘ture business, In the front van guard of the representative furniture dealurs are always to be found the magnifi- cont structure of Duff and Repp, 1216, 1218, 1220 and-1222 Main street. When we recall the fact that Kansas City merchants and bankers have their money invested ini the land that grows the timber, in the mills and factories that transform the raw material into @ finished product, and in the rail- roads that reach both the raw material and the hundreds of thousands of out. of-town consumers, to say nothing of the tremendous home demands, it {s little wonder that Kansas City ranks high as a central distributing point in this line of trade. The enormous busl- ness carried on by this firm is a fine tribute to the fair and Nberal business men whose name the firm bears. No man, woman or child, it matters not what his station in life may be, is ever accorded less than the most re. spectful and courteous treatment un: der the roof of Duff and Repp. TEACHER'S SALARYS. ee ee ene et ee tere Dear Sir: Grant us space in which to make a few statements relative to teachers and the raise of salaries. We have been pained by the fact that while the leading business men of this city are writing strong letters to the papers, showing why teachers should have more money, and are doing all they can to create a senti: ment in favor of this movement, some of our own men who have dented them: selves actual necessities of life in order to enter a profession or engage in business that must die if it has not the support of our own people, are loudest in urging voters not to vote for the raise of salaries, Suppose it is time, as they say, tuat the colored teachers do not know what to do with their money. Onc thing is certain, they will put it inte circulation and this of itself will bene fit all who have business relation: with them, There are two strong reasons wh; colored voters should fall into linc and vote for progress: First—In order to show the com munity that they are civilized enougt to protect and support all that Is goo for their women, Second—That they may not shor themselves to be such dogs in the manger that they will defeat the wil of leading citizens and some day, wake up to find themselves disfranchise because they do not know how to us the ballot. Where are all these superior colore men, anyway? If they were half s manly as they think they are, ther would be afew more comfortabl homes in this city and perhaps a fev less women in the school rooms with out enough business sense to handl money.

Mercenary Love. It was the Dominie's turn to tell a story. "Or you can sing a song if you prefer," suggested the Judge with a suave air. "Or I dare say you would accept a cake walk," returned the Dominie, as he arched his eyebrows and looked around at the company. "We'd prefer it," said the Colonel promptly. "I'll touch up the plano with a little ragtime." "I refuse to gratify your scandalous wishes," replied the Dominie stoutly. "I'll not only tell a story, but I'll see that there is a moral tacked on as becomes one of my cloth." "Can't you give us the moral first, then we won't have to be dreading it?" asked the Judge. "Yes, I'm willing to do that. The moral is: Beware of selfishness, least you be hoist with your own lyddite shell. It all happened up at my town last fall. There's a widow living there who has three daughters, very estimable young ladies, but, alas, the two older are exceedingly selfish. They are both somewhat farther along in life than the average unmarried woman—I don't know how old they are—I hope I'm too much of a gentleman to know anything about a lady's age—but just for the sake of the story we'll call one of them slightly over thirty and the other slightly under. The third daughter I'm willing to come out boldly and call twenty—we're on safer ground when we get down in that neighborhood, you know. And better yet, this girl is one of the most unselfish creatures in the world. She is, in fact, a most charming girl in every way, with a pretty face and a quiet, unassuming manner which never fails to win with its simple charm. If she has any failing it is that of too great humility and an inclination to allow herself to be imposed upon. But probably this has been brought about largely by her being constantly domineered over by her older sisters. There is, I believe, a sort of unwritten law among women that daughters must marry in rotation according to age, though instances of rebellious younger sisters who marry before their elders are common enough. But certainly in this case Dorothy, which we'll name the youngest, had not the least idea of ever doing anything so improper. It might seem to her that her older sisters had had a fair chance, and that they were unconscionably long in getting out of the way, but still she was patient and willing to wait. "Indeed, Dorothy was very closely looked after by her mother and older sisters, and little opportunity was ever given her even remotely to contemplate the idea of marriage. It was not until last fall that anything in the guise of a man was allowed to approach within halling distance. Then she was given the privilege of receiving some circumspect calls from a neighboring young man named Harry Lambert. He's one of the best young fellows in town, only a year or two older than Dorothy and altogether desirable in every way. During the fall he was accustomed to drop Under the tree on the lawn. around Sunday evening and spend an hour with Dorothy on the front porch or sitting on a beach under a tree on the lawn. Her mother approved, though the older sisters were accustomed to sneer and to question the propriety of the proceedings. Though you must not gather that the older girls had no attention—far from it. Mr. Edward Edgewater has been reg- ularly paying court to Elizabeth, the oldest, for a number of years. Mr. William Jackson has been doing the same by Ruth, the second daughter. I don't know why, but the progress of Messrs. Edgewater and Jackson has been exceedingly slow. They have called with clocklike regularity every Sunday evening, but the joyous wedding bells have refused to ring. "So during the fall things ran on as I have indicated, each of the young men finding happiness in the company of the lady of his choice every Sunday evening. But with the approach of cold weather the prospect A woman in a long skirt stands facing another woman in a dress, who is standing with her hands on her hips. In the background, there is a man in a suit. for Dorothy changed. The porch or the lawn were all very well under the soft influence of the harvest moon—perhaps preferable to any other place—but the austere November moon is another thing. Right here I ought to mention that the widow's house, though comfortable, is far from large. It accommodated Elizabeth and Ruth very pleasantly for courting purposes, but there was really no place for another. So there was nothing for Dorothy but to throw herself on the generosity of the others, and beg them to share with her, since Sunday evening was the only time that Harry could conveniently call. She went to Elizabeth first and laid the case before her, and asked for the use of the parlor occasionally—perhaps once a month. The older girl proved colder than the November moon. She replied in effect that she was in the habit of entertaining Mr. Edgewater in the parlor each Sunday evening and that she had no intention of giving it up for a chit who ought to be in short dresses. Hardly! Dorothy had better go back to her dolls. "Poor Dorothy wiped her eyes and sought Ruth. This lady was dumb-founded. The idea! She was accustomed to see Mr. Jackson in the dining room each Sunday evening, and she thought she saw herself giving it up to a minx who ought to be wearing her hair in a long braid. Oh, yes! Dorothy had better go back to her dolls. Dorothy had a quiet cry, then she bethought her of Maggie. The kitchen was not just the place to receive Harry, but—any port in a storm; so she sought out Maggie. "The lokes of that! Well, I never! And me in the habit of receiving Officer Donovan here ivory Sunday noight, with the consint of the missus. And him a proper young man, and on this beat, and that his only noight off, indade. Oll not! Oll will give notice first! It's a wonder that Miss Dorothy don't go back to her dolls!" "Poor Dorothy! She retired to her own room and had a good cry. Fate was against her; there was no hope. It was Saturday; the evening paper predicted a cold wave. There was a little touch of snow on the ground the next morning. Dorothy cried some more. This was really all there was left for her to do. "But next evening Harry came. He had feared the worst, and was provided with his winter overcoat and a pair of heavy goshes. Dorothy put on her winter cloak and took her muff and together they spent an hour trampling briskly up and down the path beside the house. Their teeth chattered considerably, but they managed to carry on a conversation, and to some purpose, as appeared subsequently. At the end of the hour Harry said good-night at the front steps "Indade. Oi'll not. " passed out the gate, sneezed furiously three times and hurried home. "The next afternoon Dorothy and Harry called at my house. Harry asked me to marry them then and there. Dorothy told their story, and explained that they had not intended to be married for a couple of years, mainly out of regard for the feelings of her sisters, but that now there was nothing for them but to be married or give each other up, which they could never, never do. So I married them. "The marriage, I heard, produced some excitement in the widow's household. Elizabeth and Ruth are reported to have said things, especially when they got a note from Dorothy while away on a little three-day wedding tour, asking them please to look after her dolls, and see that they were fed regularly and put to bed at seven o'clock. Messrs. Edgewater and Jackson were also said to have been rendered thoughtful by the occurrence, and when I met Officer Donovan on his beat the next day I noticed he seemed preoccupied. So if you haven't forgotten my moral you see where it comes in. Be generous. At least, don't be too selfish." AFTER THE BIG FIRE. Humor of Incidents In Connection With Baltimore Conflagration. On Water street, near South, the big granite-based buildings were mashed to a mass of barely recognizable ruins. In one of them, however, right over the door way to the side was a big sign. All about this sign demolition was spread by the wild fury of the flames and falling walls, and the building looked like it had been at the mercy of a miniature Kansas cyclone. But just the same, like the celebrated flag in Francis Scott Key's immortal song, the sign was still there, and it read, "For Rent—Desirable Offices in the Basement." The basement, or what was left of it, was all that remained of the former five-storied building. Not a block away was another peculiar freak of the fire. There was a cigar store on the corner of Lombard and South streets, in front of which there was evidently a sign advertising a certain brand of cigars. The building was in ruins. Every sign of life was destroyed. Ruined buildings and fallen electric wires made passage-way very difficult, but the advertisement, or at least a great portion of it, was still observable. The lower part of the sign stood out in strong relief, reading, "The Best Smoke in Town...Baltimore World. HE BUILT HIS OWN POORHOUSE Queer Trick Which Fortune Played on a California Gold Miner. The Murphy family was very numerous in California in the "days of 49." Some members struck it rich in the mines and held onto their fortunes, others were not so lucky. One Murphy in particular is remembered by all the old time miners. He made a big fortune in the gold mines and started to build a magnificent country residence near San Jose, the noted fruit center of California. The elegance of the place was the talk of the whole community. But one day, to the surprise of his business associates, Murphy slapped a big mortgage onto the property. Rates of interest were enormous in those days, and as poor Murphy had been unable to meet his payments, one day the beautiful home went under the auctioneer's hammer, and was bought at a great bargain by the county for its poorhouse. Things went from bad to worse with Murphy, and in a few years the proud old frishman was obliged to enter his old home as an inmate, a county pauper. Something About Coral. Those irregular branches, so prettily red and shining, are all small skeletons of tiny animals, lower in the natural order than insects, and they come from the Mediterranean, where for ages and ages they have been growing at depths of five or six fathoms. What a vast multitude of coral animals there must be to rear whole reefs of coral underneath the waves, structures so firm and well built that that they form islands on which men live and form cities and ply commerce. Bermuda, so near our own shores, is guilt on formations of coral—red, white and black, the latter being so far the rarest and most valuable; white coral is not worth much. It is found near Ceylon. Coral has often been made use of in sculpture. There was formerly in the Tulleries at Paris a chessboard and set of chessmen carved from this pretty substance. The Newest In Skirts For the benefit of the more men, we reproduce the explanation of a New York dressmaker as to how women will manage to walk in the new spring suits, which are made as long in the front as they are in the back—and that is just five inches on the ground. A circular flounce of canvas is set all round the bottom of the skirt inside, reaching up to the knees. "When in repose," says the dressmaker, "the skirt flares out around the feet, lying about five inches on the floor all 'round. Naturally, a step forward without canvas and without a kick would entangle the wearer in a mass of frills and ruffles, but the canvas and the kick save her. She gives the canvas just the least little kick with the toe of her slipper, the canvas backed ruffle swings out in advance and enables her to take a step with out stepping on the skirt." How lovey! J. H. G. The career of Sir Edwin Arnold, who died in London last week, was one of peculiar interest, from the days of his prosperity to those of his affliction. Since the author began to fall in health his devoted attendant has been the charming Japanese woman Sir Edwin Arnold, one of the oldest of England's literary and journalistic knights, is dead of old age, after suffering for years from partial paralysis. As poet, Orientalist, and newspaper writer he had been easily in the fore front of literary circles for a full quarter of a century. His work was almost as widely known in America as in England, and his fame had spread to the four corners of the world. Even within the last month articles from his pen on Japan and the crisis in the far East have been published in the American papers. Sir Edwin always had a soft spot in his heart for the mystic East, from which he got his third wife, and which inspired much of his better work. He was an authority on every modern Oriental nation, and was never tired of singing the praises of the hardy Japanese, and especially his Japanese wife, whose gentle disposition has done much to mold English public opinion and bring it to the active support of the Mikado's claims in the present war with Russia. Sir Edwin was born June 10, 1832. Educated at Oxford. Sir Edwin Arnold, best known to the public as the author of "The Light of Asia" and "The Light of the World," was educated at University College. Dingen Lady Arnold. Japanese Widow of Sir Edwin Arnold. Oxford, being a prizeman there in 1853. He became master of King Edward's school at Birmingham in 1854 and remained there until 1856. From the latter year until 1861 he was principal of the government Deccan college at Poona, Bombay. Returning to London in 1861 Sir Edwin became connected with the Daily Telegraph, doing much editorial and literary writing. The winning of the Newdegate prize at Oxford in 1853, the subject of his poem being "The Feast of Belshazar," marked Arnold as a man of far above average ability. On the death of Thornton Hunt, editor of the Telegraph, Arnold succeeded to his post and for many years was the most Bounded by Their Child Reunited by Their Child. Rather a dramatic wedding ceremony is reported from Fort Scott, Kansas. Some months ago Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Hallowell were divorced because of incompatibility. They had one child, a small lad, and the youngster refused to adjust himself to the changed conditions. At last, on his account, the couple decided to remarry. As they stood before the probateudge for the ceremony the boy took his station between them, holding tight to a hand of each. he married in the far east in 1897. Grieved and shocked by his marriage to the oriental woman—his third matrimonial venture—the family of Sir Edwin was won over to the little wife of the talented Englishman. She was Miss Tama Kurokawa. voluminous writer on the London press. As long ago as 1889 he said: "The hardest work of my life has been done on a daily newspaper. I have written more than 8,000 editorials." "The Light of Asia" was begun in September, 1878, and the finished epic in eight books was put in the hands of the printer, published and on the market by July 1879. It made a great stir and ran through many editions. Sir Edwin was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1888. He was often honored with titles. He was a fellow of Bombay university and of the Royal Asiatic society, officer of the White Elephant of Siam, also of the Crown of Siam and the Rising Sun of Japan, second class of Imperial Medjidie, third class of Osmanli, and commander of the Lion and Sun of Persia." Sir Edwin was three times married, his first wife being Katherine Elizabeth Biddulph of London, who died in 1864. His second was Fannie Channing of Boston, who died in 1889. In 1897 he married Tama Kurokawa of Sendai, Japan. She survives him. A curious fact in regard to "The Light of the World" is that it was entirely dictated in a Japanese garden to a Japanese secretary. In the death of Sir Edwin Arnold a star of the first magnitude disappears from the sky of literature, a writer of marked ability from the ranks of journalism, a publicist of renown from the field of diplomacy, and a gentle and loving spirit from the human brotherhood. He was, first of all, of course, a poet, and while some poems have to achieve greatness his poetical productions had greatness thrust upon them. Homer nods and so does Sir Edwin, but he also scintillates, and those who have devotedly followed the trail of his poetic genius have gathered perhaps as many pearls of thought as have been strewn by any other poet of his era, it will be a long time before "The Light of Asia," "With Sadl in the Garden" and "Japonica" are consigned to that limbo to which the advancing materialism of the race has sentenced all poetry. As Sir Edwin was long a resident of Japan, and married a Japanese wife and was perfectly united in heart to that land and nation, it is a pathetic feature of his death that he should pass away just as Japan is about to realize his fond and insistent prophecy that she would take rank with the most progressive, civilized and powerful nations on the globe. Condemns Youthful Marriages Condefining Youthful marriages. Judge William D. Dickey of the New York supreme court took occasion the other day severely to condemn clergymen and justices who marry minors. While holding court in Middleton Judge Dickey granted an interlocutory decree annulling the marriage of a 16-year-old boy and girl who had eloped a year ago and were married by a justice in Narrowsburg. In issuing the decree his honor said it was a shame that ministers of the gospel and justices of the peace could be persuaded to marry children for the sake of a $2 fee. Society Woman an Authoress. Mrs. Clarence Mackay, who has just published a fairly successful novelle, wrote the story in a log cabin situated a mile from her luxurious palace home, Harbor Hill, at Roslyn, L. I. The most important object in the place is a type-writing machine on which Mrs. Mackay wrote the story. In fine weather she walked to and from her secluded workshop and carried her luncheon in a basket. She is a young matron with some years to her credit on the sunny side of 30. DPINION OF THE EDITOR OF THE "NEBRASKA FARMER." He Expresses His Approval of American Emigration to Canada. During the winter months the head of the family consults with the other members as to the prospects for the future, and doubtless one of the most interesting topics discussed is that of moving to some district where it is possible to more easily secure what is necessary for a comfortable existence, where it is an easy matter to become possessed of sufficient farm land to assure a competence for the future. This, not only interests the head of the family, but every individual member of it. Having before me the knowledge where he can secure a home with the expenditure of but little money, it is well for him to obtain all information possible regarding the productiveness of the land in the country that he may select. For several years past a large number of Americans have removed to Western Canada, and as nearly as it can be ascertained almost all of these have expressed themselves satisfied with the conditions that exist there. During the past summer a number of the editors of farm papers throughout the United States made a personal visit on a tour of inspection and the reports of these gentlemen prove interesting reading. Mr. H. E. Heath, editor of the "Nebraska Farmer," a paper enjoying a wide circulation as well as the confidence of its subscribers, after giving some idea of the extent of this wonderful country says: "Western Canada is the last unoccupied and unimproved good agricultural land in America available to-day." He then discusses its possibilities for raising live stock and the advantages it possesses for dairying, farming and wheat growing, and says, "What has been said about the country as to the ability of the soil, the yield of wonderful crops of wheat, is quite justified." To quote further from Mr. Heath, he says, referring to climate: "These people (skeptical ones) do not know or realize that altitude more than latitude makes climates; that large bodies of water, both fresh and salt, that never freeze over, exert a wonderful influence on climate. Another influence on climate, more potent than those named above, which applies more to the Alberta district, is the warm Chinook breeze from the Pacific ocean, which is 600 or 700 miles nearer than Colorado or Wyoming, besides the Rocky Mountain range is not nearly so high nor half so far from the ocean as it is down in the States. "In further considering the climate of the Canadian prairies, we should not lose sight of the fact of the influence of the rains; the total average rainfall for the season is but 13.35 inches for the territories, and 17.34 inches in Manitoba, and that the amounts falling between April 1st and October 1st are respectively 9.99 inches and 12.87 inches or about three-fourths of the entire rainfall. From the middle of June to the middle of July there are over two hours more daylight in every twenty-four hours than there is in Nebraska. The main reason why Western Canada wheat grows to such perfection is the effect of solar light, or longer period of sunshine it gets each day. This is what makes seeds or grain more perfect, grown in this country than elsewhere. This extraordinary rapid growth of vegetation under the influence of this long continued sunshine exceeds anything known in lower latitudes. "We do not wish it understood that wheat alone is the main product of this country; it leads in that, yet it is destined to become famous for its cattle, horses and sheep and for its dairy products. We saw more and larger bands of cattle and sheep grazing in Assinibola and Alberta than we ever saw on the western plains of the United States. One band of cattle numbering 5,000 head were grazing on the rich grass, and sheep without number." The government of the Dominion of Canada is still using the same energetic efforts which have been used for the past 5 or 6 years to settle up these western prairies, and on application to any Agent of the Canadian Government the settler will be able to secure a certificate entitling him to a low rate which will give him the opportunity of visiting any portion of Canada's grain producing domain.
