MARY HARRIS Miss Emma Smith of this city who has for the past two years been a member of the Blind Boone Concert Company, had her first opportunity of appearing before an audience of her home people on Wednesday evening at Allen Chapel. The reception she received at their hands was eminently fitting to one of her rare talent and most highly gratifying to her many personal friends. The marriage of Miss Anna May Long to Mr. Edward Gillam took place at the vine street church on Tuesday night, April 19, at 8 o'clock. The Rev. Thomas H. Ewing performed the ceremony. Miss Carrie Long was maid of honor. Misses Myrtle Jackson and Clara Wilson were the bridesmaids. Mr. Ed Hayes was the best man, assisted by Messrs. Joseph McCarty and James Ford. The bride wore a white Persian lawn, trimmed in white lace, and carried American beauty roses. The bridesmaids wore white dresses and carried white roses. The groom and best man wore full dress suits and Miss Lelia Christian played the wedding march. The ceremony was attended by about 450 people. Messrs. Wm. Marshall and William Harris were the ushers. The ceremony was followed by a reception at the home of the bride, 1410 East 19th street. The house was decorated with white and pink carnations and roses; the dining room was decorated with white and pink carnations; white and pink ribbons were strung from the ceiling to the corner of the table where the bride's cake sat. Punch was served in the corner of the dining room by Miss Maggie Long. Refreshments were served about 10:30 to about 200 people. The reception was followed by an infare at the residence of Mrs. Derrick, 2115 Vine St., Wednesday night; about 75 people attended. The bride received many beautiful presents. W. C. HARRIS. CHICAGO. ILL. The first grand piano recital was given at St. Mary's A. M. E. church, Monday evening, March 14, by Prof. Samuel Lee and his pupils. An excellent program was rendered, which showed the ability and the progress the pupils have made in such a short period of time. Prof. Lee is a graduate of one of the leading conservatories in America, and all who employ him will find him a highly competent teacher. Last Monday evening, notwithstanding the inclementy of the weather, the church was packed. While some of the teachers in the colored schools do their duty by colored enterprises, others lay back and criticise the efforts of others, but you must learn to help the things that help you. We can be used, but you must be used likewise. A NEGRO MUSICAL PRODIGY. Blind Boone, a Negro and a Missourian by birth, is the surviving Negro musical prodigy with a fame equal to that of Blind Tom. Blind Boone exhibited a wonderfully peculiar talent for music at a tender age. His first musical instrument was a tin whistle, on which he could play any ordinary air after once hearing it. Later on he was presented with a mouth harp. On this simple instrument, without preparation, or practice, he played the popular airs in such a manner that brought THE FATHER OF THE FAMILY BLIND BOONE AND MANAGER LANGE. both charm and admiration to his hearers. Blind Boone's aptitude for music brought him in favor with some of the leading white families of Warrensburg, Mo., his home, several of whom raised a purse to be devoted to securing him an education and trade at the St. Louis Blind School. This effort was of no avail, however, for his inclination ran counter to everything except music, and at the sound of a piano he was restless until afforded an opportunity to get to the keyboard. Finally Blind Boone was dismissed from the St. Louis institution and he wandered around, giving exhibitions of his musical skill on every instrument he could hold of. Presently he organized a little company of three, whose respective instruments were the tambourine, triangle and mouth-organ. The trio started out on the road and as change was scarce they more frequently took the dirt road and tramped from town to town. In many places they drew large audiences but not the kind that give freely and thus the company endured many hardships and was finally disbanded. Shortly afterward Blind Boone formed the acquaintance of John Lange and a mutual admiration sprang up between the two. Mr. Lange was a Sunday school teacher in Columbia, Mo., and he employed Boone to play for his class every Sunday. He also contracted with Boone's mother to give him a musical education and put him on the road. After Boone acquired the necessary training in music a company known as the Blind Boone company was formed and for nearly twenty years it has been giving concerts and exhibitions in the various cities in the United States and Canada with exceptional success. Blind Boone is the drawing card of a company which is composed of thorough musicians. John Lang, who is manager of the company, is well fixed financially, the former holding real estate of considerable value in Kansas City.

JACKSON. IMPOSING EXERCISES AT GARRISON SCHOOL A few weeks ago Principal R. T. Coles, of the Garrison school, received a letter from Mr. Francis Jackson Garrison, of Boston, son of William Lloyd Garrison, inquiring if the school was named for his father. On being informed that it was, he sent himself large portrait of his father and five handsome volumes of his father's life for the Garrison School library. The boys in the manual training department framed the picture, and on Friday afternoon a large crowd of patrons and friends joined with the children in appropriate exercises when the picture was unveiled. It was one of the most impressive as well as instructive meetings ever held in the school. Many in the audience shed tears when the speakers referred to our benefactor and how he suffered and sacrificed for the liberation of the slaves. 1. Invocation, Rev. W. M. Hawkins. 2.

The four-volume life was written by Mr. Garrison's children and presented to the school by Mrs. Fannie Garrison Villard. The following is Mrs. Jackson's address: We have assembled to-day to do honor to one of America's greatest sons, the best, most loyal, most unselfish friend our race ever had. Perhaps this statement may seen extravagant, but when we review the anti-slavery movement in this country, the truth of the above statement is forced upon us. Says Johnson, "No careful student of history can fail to be struck by the fact that in every crisis of human affairs men have been raised up with special qualifications for the work needed to be done at that particular time. The hour strikes for the achievement of a great reform and lo, a man' appears upon the stage commissioned and equipped of God for the task." He gives the key-note to rallying thousands; he sounds the charge against an iniquitous institution, mighty in aspect but ripening for destruction. He calls a nation to repentance for its crimes against humanity and warns it of divine retribution for sin. Succ 3. Remarks, by the Principal. 4. Hymn—Enlisted Men. Teachers, Pupils and Friends; men are prophets of God in their generation—misrepresented, persecuted, maligned, and sometimes slain, but always honored of God and sure at last to be honored of men. What a catalogue of such men "of whom the world was not worthy," might be culled from history—men whose bloody footsteps are the way marks of human progress and to whom under God, we owe what is most valuable in our civilization and most beneficent in the application of Christianity to society and its institutions. One of the greatest of all this host, the prophet of one of the grandest reforms that the world has ever witnessed, is William Lloyd Garrison. Born of humble but worthy parents, he inherited his literary tastes and inclinations from his father, his unswerving Christian faith from his mother. They tried to make a shoe-maker of him, but he would not; they then apprenticed him to a printer, and here he seemed to find his life work and the composing-stick the most formidable weapon in the warfare he waged against sin and oppression. Your principal was most happy in the selection of the name of this great man as the name for this school, because if the boys and girls who attend this school are made familiar with the story of his life, it will be a constant source of inspiration to them and teach them a lesson of gratitude that will broaden their sympathies, deepen their charity, toward our oppressors of to-day. It is chiefly of the lesson that we may learn from this noble, unselfish life, that I wish to emphasize in my talk. No ecology of mine could add anything to his greatness. It stands out clearly defined, unique and alone in our country's history, like some lofty peak silhouetted against a clear sky, whose grandeur nothing can dim or enhance. From printer to editor seemed but a step to this new prophet. He became interested in the slaves through Lundy, a Quaker, who seems to have been the only one to keep alive the spark of liberty for the slaves. The whole country at that time seemed to be utterly oblivious to the wrongs of their black brothers in chalns, tarrison left New England and went to Baltimore to assist Lundy in the publishing of The Genius of Universal Emancipation, but Lundy was a Quaker and Garrison a stern, unyielding New England, and how were two men of such opposite opinions to get along? Lundy preached gradual emancipation; Garrison immediate emancipation. They compromised matters by signing their initials to their articles. It was not long before such a bold spirit who dared to strike at slavery in its stronghold should be hampered, should be persecuted and J. Principal R. T. Coles, organizer of the Garrison school and one of the most practical and successful educators in the city. not tolerated in a community whose permit me to go minutely into the prosperity depended on the slaves and anti-slavery movement, but a brie the fruits of their toil. summary will show what was accoun An article appeared denouncing the slave trade as practiced in Baltimore, no better than the foreign slave trade, which was termed piracy. This so incensed the owner of the ship who had taken a cargo of slaves to New Orleans, that he had Mr. Garrison arrested and tried. A heavy fine was imposed and as Mr. Garrison had no money it seemed as if he would have to serve a term in jail, but a friend from New York paid the fine and he was released. To a spirit less intrepid this experience would have cooled his ardor; what was he to gain by waging war on sin and oppression. The cause of a down-trodden race only brought enmity, hatred and all uncharitable upon any one who dared assert that the blacks had as much right to liberty as the whites. In the face or this storm of rising indignation Garrison never for a moment lowered his standard or thought to temporize, to consider expediency or to compromise. His imprisonment broke off the partnership with Lundy and he went to Massachusetts to continue the war he had begun. My friends, think of a young man of 25, without money, without friends, without home, presuming to do battle against the whole country in behalf of the slave. Can the mind picture an act more sublime? Think for a moment what he had to fight against. The church, one would think, would have risen up and in no uncertain tone spoke in behalf of the slave, but did she? No, a thousand times no. She turned her back on Garrison and her minister called him a fanatic, reviled him and helped to persecute him. The state winked at the persecution of him and his followers, the press cried "away with him," and there seemed no place for him to turn for sympathy or help but the mighty arm of the Lord was about him and would not let him fail. He began publishing the Liberator in Boston, and vigorously assaulting slavery in the South and its sympathizers in the North, and nothing daunted or caused him to falter in the course he had chosen. Time will not NUMBER 4 the Garrison school and one of the ors in the city. permit me to go minutely into the anti-slavery movement, but a brief summary will show what was accomplished by Mr. Garrison because he believed in right and never wavered or turned aside for one moment in his effort to establish the right and beat down the wrong. The first Anti Slavery society was organized in Boston on a dark, stormy night in the lecture room of a colored church on December 16, 1831. They numbered twelve, and thus began the organized warfare to overcome a great moral wrong, whose small beginning gradually gathered around it a mighty host whose influence caused the mighty to tremble and whose momentum not even the mighty armed forces of the South could stop. Did this happen in a day, a year? No, patient, unceasing toil brought it about through the divine providence of God. From 1831 to 1861 is a far cry, "But truth crushed to earth will rise again—the eternal years of God are hers—But error wounded writhes with pain and dies—Among her worshipers." We come to day bearing the outer branch of hope to the boys and girls of Garrison school. What is there for them to hope for in this country, wallowing in the slough of prejudice and rank injustice? Are we less brave than Garrison, were the times more propitious for the success of his cause than ours? Yet he lived to see the shackles of the slaves broken and the slaves made free citizens. Did he weary because every door was closed in his face? No, he forced them open, not by violence, but by the justice of his cause. Did his faith in God waver because his church and her minister passed him by on the other side? No, his faith remained steadfast in spite of all. Did he grow weary of the struggle because so few were willing to identify themselves with an unpopular movement? No, he became more tenacious of his purpose. Can we do less for ourselves and our race than did Garrison? We feel that whenever you look upon the kindly face of your patron saint, that every little bosom will heave with the determination to make the race better and stronger for having lived. FILIPINO A STUDENT NOT FIT FOR SELF-GOVERNMENT, SAYS JUDGE TAFT. He Is Opposed to Any Move Which Would Encourage Their Desire for Independence—Grave Responsibility Rests on American Voters. The Philippines independence committee to which Secretary Taft referred in his speech at Chicago, consists, as he said, of "a number of excellent and prominent gentlemen." Among the members are nearly a dozen university presidents, including Eliot of Harvard, Schurman of Cornell, Jordan of Leland Stanford, Jr., King of Oberlin, and Alderman of Tulane at New Orleans. We select these names because they afford convincing evidence that membership is not confined to any small section of the country. Aside from that, the appearance of the name of the president of Cornell in the list is peculiarly interesting because of Dr. Schurman's service on one of the Philippines commissions. Another member is Judge George Gray of Delaware, who is supposed to have done some violence to his own opinions when he signed the treaty by which the United States acquired title to the Philippines. Various branches of the Christian church are represented by Bishop Potter, Bishop Spalding and Dr. Parkhurst, while among the other signers to the independence petition are Charles Francis Adams, Andrew Carnegie, W. O. Howells and Horace White. It will thus be seen that the excellent and prominent gentlemen are fairly well distributed, not only geographically, but also as regards their pursuits. On the other hand it would no doubt be very easy to make up a large list of representative men who would disent from their views and agree with Mr. Taft that it is not wise for our political parties to pledge themselves to the independence of the Philippines. If we appeal to names for authority this fact must be taken into account, and of course very great authority attaches to the name of the secretary himself. But where there is such a division of authority on a great public question there are the strongest reasons why each individual citizen should give it earnest consideration, and that brings us to a very difficult aspect of the Philippines problem. The sovereignty of the islands is actually reposed in the voting population of the United States, which acts in its own affairs as a democracy. And while this electorate is very jealous of its own rights, much alive to its own interests, and thoroughly well informed on the subjects that immediately concern it, there is no prospect that it can ever fully comprehend. strange people removed from it by thousands of miles. In other words, if the Filipinos are generally ignorant from lack of schools, we, their governors, are now and are destined to be exceptionally ignorant as regards them from lack of contact and lack of racial sympathy. References to the examples of other powers do not solve the problem or eliminate the serious nature of what is undoubtedly a grave anomaly among American political institutions. It would therefore be a most happy escape for us if we could dispose of the Philippines as we disposed of Cuba, and this is what the independence committee desires. Secretary Taft thinks, however, that the time is not ripe; that the Filipinos cannot learn self-government by independent practice, but only under a very long course of tutelage. He argues, therefore, that it would be a great mistake for our political parties to give them the platform encouragement that is advocated by the committee, because it would inspire a host of native agitators to a dangerous activity. That may be so, but neither the generous impulses of our people as they are expressed in legislation, nor the fact that their delegated authority is temporarily in good hands can be said to clear the situation of its perplexities. This much only is certain, that if we are to hold the islands we must give them the benefit of that eternal vigilance without which the liberties of no people are safe. The Chasm in the Democracy. ExUnited States Senator Pettigrew, one of the Bryan stalwarts, says he will bolt the ticket if Cleveland or anybody like him is nominated. Pettigrew is not quite so big a personage as he was a few years ago, but he has a pull yet among the Democrats of his state. His views on the Cleveland matter are undoubtedly held by a large majority of his party in South Dakota and vicinity. These views, in fact, are very popular among Democrats in nearly all the states west of the Mississippi, and they are entertained in some of the states between the big river and the Alleghanies. How does Pettigrew stand on Parker? The presumption is that he is against him. The Democrats of South Dakota, by an immense majority, are going to Hearst, according to accounts. The New York editor and congressman is making something like a clean sweep in the prairie and mountain states. He will come to St. Louis with a big delegation behind him. Pettigrew will be one of his supporters. In his interest many of the former Bryanite cheftalts, including Bryan himself, will work. This is the way things are shaping among the Democrats of the trans-Mississippi states. The principal significance which this has for the country at large is that it shows the charm in the Democracy is still open. As the convention approaches it is likely to get wider instead of narrower. The old guard of the Bryanites will vote for Roosevelt if Cleveland or anybody conspicuously identified with the ex-president's element of the party should be nominated. This has been announced many times. Ex-Senator Reagan of Texas declared recently that as between Roosevelt and Cleveland he is a Roosevelt man. Many of the Bryanite contingent of the party hold this attitude. Probably Reagan is opposed to a man like Parker also, for Cleveland is understood to favor the judge's candidacy. The St. Louis convention of 1904 is likely to see a fight which will make that emulate in Chicago in 1896 seem like a love feast. The Democrats know they can not win in 1904 in any case, and the opposing bosses in the party therefore are anxious to have their feuds fought to a finish this year.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Make No Promises. "The hope of success in our work in the Philippines," says Secretary Taft, "is tranquillity of the public mind." That is one reason why he can not agree with the well-intentioned and ill-informed gentlemen who have petitioned the two great party organizations to insert in their platforms a promise to the Filipinos that they will ultimately be given independence. The secretary assumes the Democrats will do what is asked of them. No doubt they will. They have a habit of blundering where the Philippines question is concerned. As for the Republicans, they will make no mistake on this point. Vague promises of "ultimate independence" in party platforms will commit the country to nothing, but they will be seized on by the malcontents in the archipelago and made the basis of a new agitation. The action of the political organizations will be falsely represented to a densely ignorant population as meaning speedy independence—next month or next year. There will be turmoil and tumult. The restless and turbulent spirits will reassume their ascendency. The peaceful and educated Filipinos, who are satisfied with the present situation and who ought to be the leaders of their people, the afflicted with timidity. They will keep quiet while "the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing." The time for decision as to whether the Filipinos should be given independence cannot arise, says Secretary Taft, who knows them better than any other American, "for a considerable period, probably several generations." It would be criminal folly to throw firebrands among the Filipinos by promising them "ultimate independence." They should be promised, and be given without delay, better transportation facilities in the form of railroads and highways, the untaxed admission of all their products to the United States, and all other practical gifts that will promote prosperity and, consequently, peace. Not So Poor as We Thought The shrinkage of security values that began with the Northern Pacific panic of 1901 has not had all the effects that were feared at the time. Really hard times did not come. Speculation did indeed collapse, and investment tottered. But the great industries and the great commerce that connects producer and consumer went on, more slowly—much more slowly—but still steadily. What we lost in the heavy weather was not the ship of prosperity itself, but some of its sails. What we suffered from most was not decline of producing and consuming ability, but loss of confidence. However, the crops have been large and more valuable than in previous years. Bank clearings and railway earnings are showing to-day the increasing activity in commerce. Fluid capital is so plentiful that gold goes abroad because it is cheaper here than there. We were better off than we knew. The future cannot be said to be wholly clear. But the great legal and financial issue made by the Northern Securities case has been met without revolutionary procedures. Common sense in the adjustment of labor disputes is plainly increasing. With a wise choice as a result of the political campaign now impending there seems no reason why the American people should not find their prosperity in 1905 not only substantial but general. A. Great Economic Question The question of the protection and development of our home industries is not one of party politics, as the adherents of the protection idea are found in all of our great political parties. Protection is a great economic question, and we see what wonderful effects it has brought about in this country, and also in Germany, and the efforts that are now making in England to change the economic theories of that country, which they have run along free trade lines for six decades.—The Louisiana Planter and Sugar Manufacturer. What It Claims. The free trade Philadelphia Record sneeringly remarks that "the Republican party is the claimant of all the country's prosperity, including the rise in the price of wheat." Oh, no, it is not. It merely claims to be the earnest supporter of policies which tend to promote and maintain the country's prosperity. And the beauty of the contention is that experience has proved it to be correct. The lean years when the Democratic policy of free trade was in operation are all that need be cited to attest the fact—Troy Times. King Edward's Auto. King Edward's new automobile is capable of making sixty-five miles an hour. TOP HOSMINS EYE Missa' Walking Skirt. The rule of generous flare about the feet with snug fit round the hips for the fashionable walking skirt is as tenaciously held to by young girls as by their elders. This very stylish model is adapted to all the range of seasonable materials, but in the case of the original is made of blue flacked etamine stitched with as by their elders This very stylish model is adapted to all the range of seasonable materials, but in the case of the original is made of blue flacked etamine stitched with corticell silk and is exceedingly attractive and pret- 4677 Misses' Walking Skirt, 12 to 16 yrs. corticelli silk and 4677 Missen* Walking is exceedingly attractive and pretty. The full length gore at the back gives a long line which is always admirable in addition to allowing for greater freedom of movement. The skirt consists of the circular portion, which is tucked across the hips to give the effect of a yoke, the flounce and the back gores, which are kilt plaited. The lower edge of the circular portion has a deep hem under which the plaited flounce is attached and stitched to position, the effect being a deep tuck overlapping the plaits. The quantity of material required for the medium size is $5\frac{3}{4}$ yards 27 inches wide, $3\frac{3}{4}$ yards 44 inches wide or $3\frac{3}{4}$ yards 52 inches wide. The pattern 4677 is cut in sizes for girls of 12, 14 and 16 years of age. Flounces and Tucks. Really, flounces are not imperative. There are always tucks, and there were never more tucks than this season. Many of the charming thin light silks have long flowing skirts finished with inch or two-inch tucks around the bottom. A lovely lavender silk is so made, with a most pleasing distinction. This consists in the alternation of the tucks with bands of white lawn of the sheerest quality. The silk is cut away from under the lawn and both these insertions and the tucks are a little over an inch in width. The effect is quantify effective and newer than lace insertions, although a soft white silk near at hand, in which the same idea is carried out with lace, is pleasing. In the lavender silk the sleeves are formed of alternate silk tucks and lawn strips and there is a full puff of lawn at the wrist. Skirts of New Gowns. All the new gowns have moderately full skirts. One needs only to glance at the beautiful models at the "openings," where the freshest conceits from abroad are shown, to discover in what charming ways this full skirt can be attained without exaggerating the size of the hips. A favorite mode is to hold the fullness flat in clusters of fine pinch tucks for a few inches below the waist, from whence they flow out into the required sweep. Or box plats stitched flat over the hips are used. The skirt yoke proper is passe, but one sees odd little emplements of the material fitting tight over the hips, to which is gathered the fullness of the skirt. All of which means that it is a long pull and a hard one to get women's consent to the really full skirt, which begins to eddy out as soon as the waist line is past. Fancy Blouse. All cape effects are much in vogue and are to be noted upon the best and handsomest of the season's designs. The very pretty waist illustrated shows one of a novel sort that is adapted to many materials and combinations but is shown in pale blue Habutai trimmed with applique of cream lace and stitched with corticelli silk. At the waist is a crushed belt of Liberty satin. The drooping shoulder line that is given by the cape is ex- 4678 Fancy Blouse, 32 to 40 bust. 4678 Fancy Blouse, 32 to 40 bust. 4678 Fancy Blouse, line that is given 32 to 40 bust. by the cape is exceedingly graceful as well as fashionable. and the sleeves can be either in elbow or full length as may be preferred. The waist consists of the fitted lining on which the tucked front and backs are arranged, the closing being made invisibly at the center back. Both front and backs are tucked to yoke depth only and form soft folds at the belt. The sleeves are tucked at the shoulders and gathered at their lower edges where they can be finished with frills or with deep cuffs as shown in the small view. The cape collar is in two sections, which are tucked from the shoulders to the neck and allowed to fall in folds over the sleeves. At the neck is a crushed collar which harmonizes with the belt. The quantity of material required for the medium size is $5 \frac{1}{2}$ yards 21 inches wide 5 yards 27 inches wide or $2 \frac{1}{4}$ yards 44 inches wide, with $5 \frac{1}{8}$ yards of all-over lace, $5 \frac{1}{8}$ yards 21 inches wide for belt and 5 yards of applique. The pattern 4678 is cut in sizes for a 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40 inch bust measure. Sleeves for Evening Gowns Angel sleeves adorn many of the evening gowns, and very beautiful they are, because the soft drapery is in the silken tissues, liberty silk, chiffon or mousseuse de sole, or some such clinging material. A charming toilet has a trained skirt of heliotrope satin, with three scant flouces, each supporting a flounce of valenciennes lace. A lace jacket is worn with this white valenciennes, made up over a helliotrope satin lining. But the lace sleeves barely reach the elbow, and from them descends long angel drapery of violet-tinted liberty silk, the gauzest of fabrics. The drapery is caught up again and held in to the undersleeve at the wrist. A necklace of Swiss crystals, amethyst-colored, run on a purple cord, is worn about the throat. Fashionable Trimmings. Gold is present also in embroideries in impressive quantity. Much embroidery is of the raised and filled sort and cloudlike materials now and then seem almost overweighted with such embellishment. Fringes are going to continue their winter vogue to judge by the quantities of them on the shop counters. The narrower sorts seem in the lead. For dressy get-ups ruchings are to be a much-favored means of ornamentation. Lace trimmings become of greater value when sheer fabrics are seasonable. Model dresses suggest with some force that there is to be a whimsical fancy for the use of heavy laces on delicate fabrics and of filmy ones on firmer goods, but this notion need not worry those who at first thought do not approve it. Such may follow their own taste in lace and be stylish without trace of freakishness. Misses' Blouse Eton Blouse Etons with shoulder capes are among the newest coats shown and are peculiarly well suited to young girls. This one is made of mixed blue chevot stitched with corticelli silk and makes part of a costume. The stole is both smart and becoming, but, when liked, the lower portions can be omitted and the sleeves allow of choice of the plain bell and the shaped model shown in the small cut. 4881 Misses Blouse Eton, 12 to 16 yrs mixed blue chevlot stitched with corticelli silk and makes part of a costume.

The cape is in two portions and is finished with the stole, the lower portions of which are joined to the upper beneath the points. The sleeves are in one piece each and at the waist is a stitched belt. The quantity of material required for the medium size is $3\frac{1}{4}$ yards 21 inches wide, 3 yards 27 inches wide or $1\frac{1}{4}$ yards 44 inches wide. The pattern 4681 is cut in sixes for girls of 12, 14 and 16 years of age. Sweetbreads With Oranges. To prepare tails choice Southern dish allow several large sweetbreads to blanch in cold water, then dry on a cloth, pull off the tubes and score lightly with a sharp knife. Dip each into melted butter mixed with an equal quality of orange juice, sprinkle with salt and pepper and place on a flat baking pan. Cook in a very hot oven for thirty minutes, basting three times with the butter and orange juice. Melt and brown one heaping tablespoonful of butter in a saucepan, add a tablespoonful of flour, brown again, then stir in gradually one cupful of good beef stock, and when smoothly thickened add one-quarter of a cupful of strained orange juice and two tablespoonfuls of chopped orange (with the rind) and season to taste. Serve the sweetbreads on individual plates in a bed of cress and sliced orange and pour over each serving a spoonful of the gravy. Salted Almonds. This is a chef's way of salting almonds: Blanch and dry the nuts, put them on a baking sheet and roast them in a hot oven to a light brown. Sprinkle them with a solution of a little gum arabic and water, dust with fine table salt, and stir them gently until dry.

The Republicans again are in power at the City Hall and again the Negro voters are in receipt of recognition and patronage at their hands. When the Democrats were in charge, not a black fact was ever seen in the hall, except possibly a tax payer. Of course every Negro who wants a job cannot be accommodated, because there are not enough to go around. But the pie is going to many Negroes at this time who were not in a position to get a piece a while back. Mayor Neff and the Republican administration are indeed to be commended for the recognition which they are giving the Negro voters. The Baltimore Lancet, speaking of jim crow matters, says: "The St. Luke Herald is not by itself when it seeks to know why the 'jim crow' car does not produce the 'jim crow' store. The reason probably lies in the fact that there are so many 'jim crow' Negroes who are satisfied with anything that the white man does to him." When Booker T. Washington was in Chicago speaking at Bethel church, he asked the hundreds of well dressed ladies at his meeting how many of them wore hats trimmed or purchased at Negro millinery stores. The ladies all smiled and were mum. Just pass the question around, please. An exchange says that "President Roosevelt is the best friend the Negro has ever had in the White House, and if he wil do as much for himself as the president will do for him, he will be among those who will have no regrets when the President goes to make up his jewels." Roosevelt is not distinguished by his friendship for the Negro especially, but by his love of fair play and equal opportunity for all men, regardless of race or color. It is hardly probable that the President loves the Negro any more than he does the Irish, the German or the Italian. In fet, it is the love of fair play and not love of anybody that makes the President a great big man. KEEP GUESSING If they keep on guessing long enough some one will be sure to hit the right nail on the head. Here is what a prophet of York, Pa., prophesies and predicts: York, Pa., April 1.—The prophesies of Lee Spangler, a York merchant, are creating a stir here. During the past 12 years Spangler has issued pamphlets and tracts warning people to prepare for the end of the world in June, 1908. The lates of his prophecies which he alleges were fulfilled were the death of Senator M. A. Hanna and th breaking out of the war between Russian and Japan. Spangler claims his prophecies are revealed in visions. Spangler says: "When the Maine was blown up in Havana harbor it was told to me in a vision that a foreign country would perpetrate a terrible crime against this country. There has been no peace since. The war now going on in the East is insignificant in comparison with wars that are to follow. Within a year Europe and most of the Asiatic countries will be fighting. The United States will be at war with foreign countries and there will be race wars at home. The severity of next winter will be great. We will have cool summers and rigorous winters until the world is destroyed by fire three and one-half years from now. Before the destruction anarchy will hold sway. There will be famine and epidemics. God's wrath will be especially visited upon women. They will become so unsightly that all men and children will shun them. President Roosevelt will be re-elected, but he will sigh a thousand times for private life. King Edward will be the last king of England." Spangler has planned to close out his store and preach his prophecies. The Rising Son wishes to commend those ministers who have appealed to their congregations for assistance for The Old Folks' and Orphans' Home, and thereby greatly lessened the strain upon the managers of the home. The institution is being manged in a most systematic manner by Miss Shepherd, the matron. It is pleasing to see the harmony that exists among the old people and the order and freedom shown by the children. "WESTERN UNIVERSITY, QUINDARO, KANSAS." Second Anniversary of the Chautauqua Meeting. To the Public: One year ago we issued a call for a meeting of those interested in any and all movements calculated to inure to the benefit of the race. This call met with such a generous response on the part of all Race lovers in the west and was productive of such good results that all felt usified in effecting a permanent organization, which was done at the last meeting, one year ago. The purpose of the Chautauqua is as declared by its motto "The Unity and Uplift of the Race." To that end, the condition of the Race was discussed in all its phases, and plans formulated for a furtherance of the work. That all attempted might not be visionar yand impractical, but permanent in all its results, bureaus were appointed to inquire into the condition of the Negroes of the West, and through the direction of such report on the work, status and progress of the Race along the lines comprehended under these bureaus, respectively. At the next meeting to be held in June, members of these Bureaus with others interested will read papers and discuss questions arising from the same. Many of the leading Negroes of the country have signified their intention ti be present and participate. The following departments will be represented this year—Educational, Ministerial, Agricultural, Business Men's, Industrial, Legal, Medical, Press, Woman's Club and Fine Arts. Systematic work is being done in these departments and reports will be made at the next meeting. The sessions this year will be held on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Monday, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th of June.) Larger and more varied programs will be had at this session. The public is requested to co-operate in this effort for the betterment of the Race. Other announcements will be made later. Yours for the advancement of the Negro. W. T. VERNON, President. J. N. GARRETT, Secretary. When Constructing Drains. A drainage engineer gives the following advice to a land-owner about to construct drains: 1. Employ a reliable drainage engineer to make surveys, and plan your system of drainage. Otherwise you are very liable to throw away part of your money. 2. Require from your drainage engineer a complete map or plat of your drains, showing the exact location, sizes, grades and depths. Remember that your drains will be out of reach (except at much cost and trouble) after they are covered. 3. Make your drains of ample size. Drains which are too small fall when you need them most, in wet seasons. 4. Put your tile down to a good depth. Otherwise they will not draw well to any considerable distance. Make them four feet deep in the lowest ground if possible. The extra cost of good depth is small in proportion to the total cost. 5. Have your drainage engineer inspect the work during construction and test the grades of the drains and see that the work is well done. Many tile become choked with mud because not laid true. 6. Be sure to protect the outlet. Build a bulkhead wall of brick or stone to hold the end. Also use a piece of iron pipe at the end, if tile is not too large, or for large drains use a few feet of sewer pipe cemented. 7. If you are obliged to construct an open ditch, make it at least five to seven feet deep, if possible, to give good outlets for tile, and to avoid choking up. 8. The bottoms of open ditches should be at least three feet wide, and the sides should be given slopes of at least one foot horizontal to one vertical to avoid choking. Dirt should not be piled near the edges of the bank. Good Service, Up-to-date DAN Vendome Academy 1734 Grand. EVERY MONDAY AND THURSDAY EVENING AND THURSDAY AFTERNOON. John S.

Spaulding, at a meeting of Kansas Swine breeders, said: At weaning time the boar pigs should be separated from the gilts, and, if possible, put into a pasture with plenty of water, shade and grass. This pasture should be away from any other lot or pasture where other hogs run. It would be better to have all the pigs in one lot than to have them in adjoining pastures. By being together they become acquainted, but if separated by a fence they will fight through it, become restless, stop eating, and go to fretting or rooting. When they get to that state, the only thing to do is to put them into a small pen, each one separate from others, where they cannot see or hear other hogs. After pigs have been running together it is a bad plan to put other pigs into the same lot; it will always stir up the whole drove. As to feed, the pasture, if of clover or blue grass, will form a large part of their rations, no matter what you may give them. Corn is the grain most used in this or any other corn-producing country, and when used with grass and oats, and shorts and milk, makes the ideal feed for pigs. With these a breeder can raise his boar pigs so they will be useful to the buyer. Evolution of Trade Unions.

KELLEY'S BEST HIGH PATENT ```markdown ``` Sale of Furniture Sale of Carpets, Rugs sale of Draperies TEETH WITHOUT PLATE THE necessity of a practical contrivance for straightening refractions or too curly hair has long been apparent. The many men and women, endowed by nature with unruly and rebellious heads of hair, have found ordinary combing unproductive of results. It is comparatively an easy matter to curl straight hair but almost an impossibility to straighten curly hair. The Magic Hair Straightener quickly, effectively and satisfactorily brings under subjection the most uncontrollable head of hair or beard. It's use a few minutes daily, following instructions, will straighten the hair where hours of combing will not. It will save the loss of hair that excessive combing produces. It is positively the only device that will accomplish such results. The use of the Straightener after the shampoo, will dry the hair quicker and better than the many methods ordinarily employed, and less-en very decidedly the risk of catching cold. The Straightener consists of a steel bar with a handle of comfortable grip. The bar is heated to an ordinary heat by means of gas, lamp or common stove; the comb then attached parallel to it, by an ingenious arrangement, and is then ready for use. The teeth of the comb can be regulated to suit the requirements of the user. The full length of the teeth is best adapted for women's use and straightens a heavy head of hair as fast as combed. The teeth shortened is preferable for men's hair and beard. It will be found an indispensable article of toilet by all who take pride in their personal appearance. It has the endorsements of physicians. price $1.25 SAVE YOUR DOLLARS Invest them for good earning and safety. You can put them in safe and reliable oil stocks in the Chanute Kansas Oil district.

This is quite an unnatural state of affairs, and shows that something is wrong. Those who go much among the schools of the very poor know that it often means lasitude from want of proper nourishment. If it occurs in the children of the better off it shows that vitality is low, and that for some reason or another the food is not giving the strength it should do.—Exchange. Kent His Word. A Sedalia man at a church meeting the other day said: "I never drink red liquor. I don't believe in it." The next day he was seen in a saloon by a man who heard him say it, just as he was ordering a drink. "I thought I heard you say you didn't touned red liquor," ventured the man. "You did," said the other man. Then, turning to the bartender, he said: "I'll take a little gin, please." American Cars for Germany.

Something to Think Over.

PURSVED BY HIS SHADOW A German Version of the Proverb That Faint Heart Never Won a Fair Lady "Isn't it heavenly?" she asked. "Splendid," he groaned, bracing his thin legs against the heavy swing in which they were standing opposite each other until it flew into the foliage of the oak from a branch of which it was hung. Things began to go round before his eyes. It was not dizziness that laid hold of him, but fear—downright fear. He saw nothing, was conscious of nothing, but the outlines of her girlish form, and to the latter his glance was riveted as if the glorious vision were his only means of safety. Suddenly she dived with a daring hand into the foliage and tore off a bunch of leaves. The action gave the swing a jerk as if its chains were breaking. "For heaven's sake! Suppose you were to turn dizzy—" "Oh, there isn't the slightest danger; but, Roderick, your face looks like—buttermilk. Well, on my account—no, on yours, I mean—" Another swing or two, and then she jumped off. She bit her lips when he cautiously climbed after. "You weren't afraid?" she inquired, hearing him draw a breath of relief. He smiled constrainedly. "I know no fear!" How haughty that sounded. "It was anxiety for you, Gerda, you know, or at least suspect, that I—" "I suspect that you were going to say something pointless. Besides—Oh, how do you do, Assessor?" Roderick looked out of the corner of his eye, like a chained dog, at the light-haired giant in the uniform of an official of the Woods and Forests Department, who was just emerging from the park. Could he have been listening to their conversation? Well, at any rate, the interloper met with no better treatment at Gerda's hands than he. Roderick. He had made her acquaintance at a ball in the city, and they had become such good friends that he had found time to remove the dust of oblivion from his somewhat remote bond of relationship with "Uncle Fritz of Derenthal." These were Mr. Lienhardt's words as he received his "nephew" with a suspicious cordiality, while Aunt Bertha at once decided that she would energetically further possible designs on her only daughter. Roderick was what is called a good match. He had money enough to quit his profession, that of law, and retire into private life with a package of new visiting cards. Mrs. Lienhardt looked upon him as an ideal husband for her daughter, while Uncle Fritz, who could not imagine a decent man without some form of activity, persisted in calling him a wax doll. Mr. Lienhardt much preferred Asessor Heinz Steinbauer, who sometimes went deerstalking with him, as a prospective son-in-law. The young Begue " isn't it heavenly?" she asked. man, to be sure, had no money, and would have many years to wait before he could expect a paying position, but—Well, he was a man! Miss Gerda shared her father's opinion, though she did not say so. That night Dr. Roderick Mappes did not sleep comfortably. Why should this distant tower-room, connected with the rest of the house only by a spiral stair which was shut off by a door from the floor below, have been assigned to him? The view, which Aunt Bertha had praised so highly, could be seen only by daylight. But at night—and especially this night, after a supper during which the assessor in his caspering phlegmatic way had referred to the story of Mr. Llenhardt's predecessor, who, after a wild career, had ended his life by a revolver shot in this very room! Then Uncle Fritz had treated them to a long dissertation on the many superstitions which foolish people attached to the tower. Even during the preceding nights Dr. Roderick had felt uncomfortable in the room, but now he needed all his strength of will to put out the light. "I believe you will end by being afraid of your own shadow," Assessor Steinhardt had muttered that morn- JOHN BAIN He was as if paralyzed. ing during the hunt, when Roderick had refused to shoot a stray cat sitting on a willow branch, excluding himself by saying that the thing might jump down on his head. And now, shivering until his teeth chattered, he was pursued by that suggestion until, at last, completely exhausted, he fell into a tortured sleep. Murdered men, wild cats, ghosts and ladies in white, a whole army of grewsome visions, thronged in upon him. Then came long, sleepless hours during which the awful nightmare continued with unendurable vividness. Finally he was frightened with his own shadow. It was sitting in Gerda's swing, stretching out gigantic arms which grew longer and longer for every movement of the swing, until they caught him by the feet. Gerda was standing by. He saw her eyes sparkle, heard her mocking laugh, while the arms of the shadow closed about his body, tighter and tighter, until he had to fight for his breath—fight—fight. He awoke in a bath of perspiration. The weather vane on the roof was creaking and groaning, and from the same direction came a peculiar crooning sound. He was as if paralyzed. Something not discernible to the naked eye seemed to be coming nearer. He must flee—he must get where he could feel the presence of living beings, even if he had to spend the night beside the dog Hector on the hall floor. He sprang from his bed, seized his trousers and, without stopping to put on anything more, snatched his hastily-lit lantern and escaped from the room. But on the wall of the stairway in the light thrown upon it by the lantern, his shadow was hovering. A draft from an open window extinguished his candle. Panic-stricken, he flew rather than walked down the stairs, while an uncanny something was pursuing him. It caught at his feet just as he pushed open the door at the foot of the stairs. A sudden light blinded him—only for a moment, but long enough for him to recognize a human form. To this unexpected rescuer he clung with the strength of despair, groaning: "Help! Save me from my shadow!" A piercing shriek and a loud crash was the reply. Then a door opened and in it stood Mr. Leinhardt, dressed for hunting. An amazed, "Well," came from his big chest at the sight of Martha Stevelin, the stolid chambermaid, half unconscious, in the arms of his unconventionally attired guest. Behind Mr. Leinhardt, Heinz Steinbauer was holding his sides with laughter. When Martina could speak at last, she uttered a contemptuous: "You ought to be ashamed of yourself, sir." Then the tortured man came to himself, and turned fiercely upon the assessor. But something caught him from behind, and threw him into a new paroxysm of fear. "Fasten your suspenders, my boy," Uncle Fritz said. "You are stepping on them. Martha will bring you a cup of coffee after your fright. Come in here but look out that you don't step on the pieces of the lantern. Well, here is my wife so early in the morning." The lady of the house, waked by the noise, was standing there in a morning gown, trembling with wrath over what Martha had shouted to her on the way to the kitchen. The explanation did not help matters. "You had better dress or go to bed again." she remarked icily to the annihilated Roderick. "The pigeons on the roof won't do you any harm." Some weeks later, in his bachelor quarters, Roderick Mappes read the announcement of an engagement between Heinz Steinbauer and Gerda Lienhardt.—New York Sun. DID NOT NEED ADVICE. Young Lawyer Sharp Enough to Make His Own Way. A prominent judge and a young lawyer were taking a holiday jaunt together, and having a very jolly time of it. One day the younger man said to his companion: "Judge, I wish you would tell me what it is to which you attribute your very unusual success in the law." "Well, I don't mind doing so; but it must be on one condition, and that is, that you agree to pay the rest of my traveling expenses on this trip." To an ambitious young fellow of considerable inherited fortune that was not too much to do, and so he agreed. "It is simply this," said the judge; "I always make it a rule to deny everything and insist upon proof." His friend acknowledged the remark with a simple "thank you," and nothing further was said about the matter. The judge did not limit himself in his wines and other expenses, and was running up a pretty bill. When their stay at that hotel was ended, and they went to the desk for their accounts, the judge received his, and passed it to the younger man with a twinkle in his eye. "Why, what does this mean?" he asked. "Mean!" said the judge, "it simply means that you agreed to pay all my expenses on this trip, and here's my bill." "Judge," said the other, "I deny everything, and insist upon proof." Not to be Limited. Bishop Littlejohn of Long Island, who died at the age of ninety, refused up to the day of his death to accept the assistance of a coadjutor bishop, declaring that he was perfectly able to perform his duties and care for his people. At a meeting of the clergy in the last year of his life, Archdeacon Bryan was requested to call the meeting to order. The archdeacon arose and requested the delegates to give attention, remarking: "The bishop wishes to say a few words." "A few words, sir, a few words!" interjected the bishop. "I would have it understood, sir, that the bishop will say as many words as he pleases."—New York Times. Unable to Answer. Judge Hewitt was on the bench in the western district of the state, and Col. Billings was trying a case before him, says the Philadelphia Ledger. The judge overruled so many of the exceptions of the lawyer that Billings got out of patience, and spoke so severely that the judge at last demanded. in a voice of thunder: "What does the counsel suppose I am here for?" Col. Billings looked sadly disconcerted, scratched his head, thought a moment and at last, with a bland smile, replied: "I confess, your honor has got me now." A Gold Brick Patron. An old lady, whose uninterrupted residence on a farm in the lower section of Berks county had made her a stranger to modern city conveniences, recently paid a visit to some relatives in Reading. The first evening she retired, as was her custom, very early. Some time later the smell of gas reached the other occupants and a hasty invasion of the newcomer's room revealed the cause. "This gas," shouted one of the party to the latter, "is leaking." "Well, well!" replied the rural visitor, sitting up in bed and eyeing the floor. "Did it spoil the carpet much?" I Thank Thee. God. For light and life, for strength and work, For solemn hours and days of mirth, For and shower, for death and birth, I thank thee, God. Fear thee, for thorns for thorns that lurk, For those who scorn, for friends of worth. For love of old refound on earth, I thank Thee - Elaine in Boston Ideas. Immense Canteloupe Patch. Minnesota Canteau Patch. The largest cantelope "patch" in the world will be that which is to be planted near Greeley, Colo., the present spring. It will embrace 2,000 acres. Hitherto cantelope raising in Colorado has been mostly confined to the famous Rockyford district, in the Arkansas valley, but the farmers of northern Colorado have now determined to enter that very profitable field of horticulture. THE BANK OF THE UNITED STATES Looking Down on the Government Building from the Missouri Building- Any effort at exaggeration, in attempting to describe the World's Fair at St. Louis would more than likely result in failure. One's imagination would indeed be abnormally developed if he were to conceive more glories, more beauty, more majestic splendor, and a more comprehensive gathering of men and the works of men, than has been assembled on two square miles comprising the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. More than a thousand native Filipinos are living in the 40-acre Philippine tract at the World's Fair. Their homes have been reproduced in St. Louis and they are counterparts of those left behind in the Pacific archipelago. The Filipino colony embraces representatives from many tribes, and Americans and Europeans will be interested in seeing the subjects that Uncle Sam acquired with the Philippine islands, and in learning of their lives and habits. Besides the native villages, the Philippine commission, which has expended nearly $1,000,000 on the exhibit, has erected replicas of many of the most famous buildings on the islands. Several bits of old Spanish architecture are sure to delight all visitors. Patagonian giants are even less known than Filipinos. And there are a number of these strange people domiciled nearby, while a little further on may be found another strange race—pymeles from darkest Africa, whose very existence, until recent years, was doubted. The Ainus, the aborigines of northern Japan, are another strange race that may be seen Looking Down on at the World's Fair. These queer people are small of stature and their bodies are covered with hair. They are quite a different race from the modern Japanese. Japan, indeed, is in the front rank of nations at the great World's Fair. The site selected by Japan for her group of buildings is one of the choicest allotted to foreign nations, and the enterprising Japanese have made the most of their advantages. On a high hill overlooking Machinery Palace workmen from the Mikado's realm have built a number of quaint and beautiful pagodas and have embellished the surroundings with just such gardens as have won the Japanese the enviable reputation of developing and perfecting such flowers and plants as they cultivate. An Experience. One of Allentown's young ladies returned recently from her first trip to New York. On reaching the metropolis she had accepted an invitation to a matinee. It was a brilliant production and left an impression which was dimmed only by a visit some time later to the opera in the evening. She was giving a glowing account of the first experience to some friends the other day, one of whom interpolated enviously: "Yes, I have seen it." "But," continued the other, "did you ever attend a matinee in the evening?"—Philadelphia Ledger. Why Cooperative Colonies Fall. Co-operative colonies fail because they get out of touch with the great world around them," said a lecturer recently who had been a member of the famous colony of Zoar. "All the property and all the earnings of the Zoar colonists were divided equally," said he. "As a result there was less energy and thrift. Petty jealousies interfered with the colony work and when its leader died it gradually went to pieces." Canadian Route Is Shorter At a recent meeting of the royal transportation commission in Halifax, reports and maps were submitted showing that the Canadian route between Europe and the East was 680 miles shorter than those from United States ports. Rusalan Ship Canal. Surveys, which have just been completed, for a ship canal across Russia to connect the Baltic and Black seas, show that the distance will be 1,468 miles and the cost $180,000,000. Never was the United States government so deeply interested in an exposition as it is in this 1904 World's Fair. Already the government's investment has reached the $11,000,000 mark, and this does not include the Philippine expenditures, which were paid out of the insular treasury. The result is the greatest exhibit ever made by Uncle Sam. One of the interesting government exhibits is the great map of the United States, worked out in growing crops, each state being represented by crops chiefly grown in that state. This map covers six acres of ground. One who has not seen the map may have an idea of its immense size when he is told that Illinois on this crop map is 75 feet long. The boundary lines between the states are gravel walks and the World's Fair visitors stroll at will through the states, and receive simultaneously a lesson in geography and agriculture. The largest timpiece in the world is at the World's Fair, and may be seen on a slope on the north side of Agriculture Hill. The dial of this great clock is 112 feet in diameter. The frame work is steel, of course, but it is so covered with flowers that it appears to have been built entirely of flowers, and for that reason it is popularly known as the "foral clock." Germany's participation in this World's Fair surpasses anything that great nation has ever done at any other international exposition. The National pavilion, on a high hill overlooking the Cascades, is a faithful reproduction of the ancient castle Charlottenburg, and the gardens sur- on the Government Building from the rounding it are gems of the landscape architect's art. Germany's immense pavilion, of white and gold, in the mammoth Palace of Agriculture, is one of the features of that interesting building, while the Palace of Varied Industries contains another German exhibit of unique interest. Most interest naturally centers in the races of the airships. To win the grand prize of $100,000 the successful aeronaut must cover the 10-mile course at the speed of 18% miles an hour. Santos Dumont has several of his wonderful machines on the ground and is sanguine of success. Other noted aeronauts are prepared to contest vigorously with the famous little Brazilian. The historic stage coach in which SHE WANTED TO KNOW. Girl's Question That Paralyzed Gunnery Lieutenant. She was a dear little girl, and had spent most of her life in a country rectory. It was not surprising, therefore, that her knowledge of things maritime and warlike was not extensive. The young gunnery officer of H. M. S. — had been showing her round the battleship. It was the very first warship of any kind she had ever visited, and her mind was full of the wonderful sights presented. Being an industrious and a thorough young man, the gunnery lieutenant had explained very fully the mechanism and the use of the torpedo in warfare. She examined the long, deadly, cigar-shaped engine of war critically and fearfully. Then she tapped it with the point of her parasol and let her glove run over its burnished side, and finally paralyzed the gunnery officer with the question: "How does the crew get inside?"—London Tit-Bits. California's Building. California is erecting a pavilion in the agricultural building at the world's fair that will attract universal attention. Its exterior is entirely covered with dried fruit, four tons of apricots, peaches and prunes being exhibited. Many Varieties of Mosquitoes. In Louisiana's world fair exhibit there will be shown ninety-eight varieties of mosquitoes. They are in cases and are guaranteed not to bite or sting Hank Monk drove Horace Greeley into Placerville "on time" is seen daily in the Gulch. Mark Twain and Artemus Ward, in the early days, made Hank Monk and the old coach famous by their vivid descriptions of the celebrated ride. The landscape of the World's Fair is a feature of diversified beauty. It embraces hill and valley, plateau and lowland. In the Cascade region alone more than 4,000,000 brilliantly colored flowering and foliage plants are used in the creation of the Rainbow Gardens. More than 30,000,000 plants are used in beautifying other sections of the grounds. All of the main avenues are delightfully shaded with rows of silver maples, and in several sections there are great groups of forest trees that ever afford a delightful shade. The largest engine in the world is an exhibit in the Palace of Machinery. This monster with a power equal to that of 5,000 horses, occupies a space in the center of the great structure, and towers 35 feet in the air. It is as large as an ordinary three-story house. Altogether the engines develop a power of 50,000 horses. At the Chicago exposition ten years ago, which more nearly than any other similar enterprise approaches the present in magnitude, the greatest power developed was 12,000 horse power. The Pike is a most alluring place. It is a broad boulevard more than a mile long, with the shows of all nations arranged on either side in the most captivating array. The architecture of The Pike is that of all Missouri Building. ages and countries, from the prehistoric ages to the present day, and everything that is new, strange and interesting is shown in this street of all nations. After night The Pike is a blaze of glory and myriads of electric lights accentuate the beauties of the quaint architecture. In one newspaper article but few of the places of interest may be touched. A large volume would be required were each feature mentioned in a single line. The visitor who can find time but for a week's stay at the Fair will see more glories than he ever dreamed of, and were he to lengthen his stay to the seven months of the fair he could pass every moment in profitable and interesting sightseeing. Center of Lamb-Raising Industry. Greeley, Colo., is becoming almost as noted for its lamb, as for its potato industry. Shipments of young lambs from Greeley to Eastern and other markets, are now being made, at the rate of from 75 to 100 carloads a week. The experiment of feeding lambs during the winter months on a food composed, in large part of sugar-beet pulp, from the many beet sugar factories in that section of the State, has been proved a success in northern Colorado. Tens of thousands of sheep and lambs are now being fed in that manner at Greeley, Ft. Collins, Loveland and elsewhere, in the region referred to. Real Case of Broken Heart. "Died from a broken heart"—an old woman of 74, who married her fourth husband, aged 72, in December last, at West Ham, was deserted by him a fortnight after the wedding. She died suddenly on Sunday, her last words being: "My heart's broken!" and a coroner's jury, on Wednesday, found that the cause of death was valvular disease of the heart.—Philadelphia Ledger. Noted Scientist. Dr. Maximilian Nitse, who just a quarter of a century ago, invented a luminous apparatus for looking into the stomach and other internal organs, is still living in Berlin, where he is an instructor at the university. Telephone Statistica. In the United States there are upward of 20,000,000 families and at least 5,000,000 places of business, making a total of 25,000,000 opportunities to place telephones. Of these about one-eighth are now equipped.

Brief Business Letter That Brought Immediate Results. Se Nae H. Earle Kimball, business manager of one of the institutions of Milford, has the art of collecting bills down to a science. Of course there are no fixed rules on this subject, as each case must be tried by itself, the ste- cess of expedients being very much “as you reach the other fellow.” At times a Incky accident, however, will bring the desired results, as evidenced by a good story of Mr. Kimball, who relates: “A certain firm owed us consider- able and was always asking for more time. One day I lost patience, as I knew they could pay, so I said to our typewriter: ‘Write to this firm im- mediately.” “What shall T say, sir?” “Don't you know how to write a letter of this kind? Say something, or nothing, and that quick!’ “The incident passed over, but the return mail brought a check for the full amount. Quite pleased, 1 asked the typewriter: ‘What did you write to this firm? “Just what you told me, sir, The letter is in the copy book.” “Hastily turning to it, I found the typewriter had taken me literally and written: “Blank & Co: “Dear Sirs—Something or nothing and that quick!" “And the letter brought the money where a more elaborate one woul have probably reached their waste basket.—Boston Globe. CITIES IN KEEN RIVALRY. Even Youngsters of Tacoma and Beattie Are Jealous. See Care. rw eres. The Youth's Companion prints a story to the effect that notwithstand- ing the disparity in size between Seat- tle and Tacoma, the rivalry in other respects between the two cities is ag keen as in their earlier days, when they were young “boom” towns. A curious instance of this is seen In the names by which tho towering mountain that lifts its tall peak to the southeast Is known in the two places. In Tacoma it is treason to call it any: thing else than “Mount Tacoma,” while in Seattle it is “Mount Ranier.” A traveler when about half way be- tween the two cities saw two boys fighting by the roadside. Before he could separate them one of the boya got the other down, and after bang. ing the victim's face into the soft ground, sat panting but victorious astride of him, “What's the name o' that mountain, now?” the victor demanded, in exult ant tones, “It's——," humbly replied the van- quished lad. The effort to free his mouth from the mud and grass which his opponent had rubbed into it made ‘the answer unintelligible to the trav: -eler; but the victor was satisfied and : let him up.
