The Rising Son

Rising Son It Pays to Advertise In the Rising Son for It Reaches More Homes of Colored People than any other Paper in the State. VOLUME XI. KANSAS CITY, MO., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1906. NUMBER PROCLAMATION Ten Million Negroes Called to Prayer —Sunday, October 7, 1906, the Day. In these days, when so many men of power and influence, aided by a a prejudicial press, are using their offices of trust and honor to degrade and destroy ten million American citizens, and the greater majority of sixty million people look on in silence, it is time for the ten million thus oppressed to rise in their own defense. When the Israelites were oppressed, Modecai called them to their knees and he with them in dust and ashies, cried unto the God of the oppressed who heard them. At a crisis, in the early history of the struggle of the American people for independence, George Washington turned to that same God and the yoke of bondage fell off. When President Lincoln realized that it would take more than the generalship and strategy of a Mead to put an end to Northern invasion, he entered into covenant with Almighty God, that if He would save the day for the Union at Gettysburg, he would sign the Emancipation Proclamation. The day was saved and the proclamation was signed. Back of the eloquence of a Philips, behind the pen of a Stowe, inspiring the service of a Garrison, and above the eloquence of a Beecher, the prayers of four million body slaves but soul free Negroes, pled with God to draw nigh. They implored Him who sat on the throne until His presence could be felt and His hand seen, as he directed the course of events. It was a great struggle that reddened battle fields, enlarged grave-yards and caused mourning in all our land. But the clash of arms, the smoke of cannon was hushed when God whispered to the immortal Lincoln: "Enough, set those people free." And now this same God is calling this same people whom he set free free but who have wandered away from Him, to "return unto me and I will have mercy; I will make your enemies to be at peace with you." This is not, therefore, a call from man but a call from God through man. The Afro-American Council sends forth this Proclamation with divine authority. Ten million freemen, and yet slaves are called to their knees on Sunday, October 7, 1906, before the God who has promised, "I will answer while they are yet calling." By the authority vested in us, the Afro,American Council proclaims this to be the day of prayer for all citizens of color and all others who love righteousness, and beg that in their petition they beseech the Almighty to cause JUSTICE: The dread of all who do wrong, "The hope of all who suffer to be done to all the people in all the States and by all officials. The prominent negroes who attended the funeral of Prof. Baldwine were, C. G. Williams and wife of Boonville, Joseph Pellam of Hannibal, Charles Prentice of St. Louis, Joseph Herri- ford of Chillicothe. Antistrenuous. Rickett—I say, Easyun, how did you happen to marry a widow?

She told a friend of mine that I was an old cat. Miss Capsicum—I wouldn't mind it, dear. She knows as well as I do that you're not 40 yet.—Chicago Tribune BLAMED IT ALL ON GRANDPA. Parishioner Evidently Had Taken to Heart Pastor's Sermon. They are telling a very good story in a certain church congregation of one of the large cities. Recently the pastor of a church preached a sermon on temperance. He expressed himself of the belief that intemperance was frequently a disease, and that sometimes those afflicted could trace back the inception of their desires to their grandfathers. He said he had known instances of sons of sober, temperate men who became victims of the drink habit. On tracing back it was found that their grandfathers had held strong desires for drink. Now, the sermon made quite an impression, particularly upon a member of the congregation who was known to have occasional love for liquor. Not long after the sermon was preached the minister was walking home_ at night, and he met the member of his congregation who had lapses from sobriety. The man was decidedly the worse from liquor, but he recognized his clergyman, and, not waiting for him to speak, said: "Good evening, Mr. ____. Don't you think for a minute that this is me that's drunk. This is my grandfather. I'm all right." TIRED OF PROLONGED SILENCE Mourner Dispelled Gloom of Funeral by His Remark. It was a sultry afternoon for a funeral, and everyone but the corpse was restless and uneasy. Harry Kay, the deceased, came from Yorkshire, England, early in the '70's and settled on a farm near Scarboro, Me. They were waiting for the minister to arrive and begin the last rites, and the conversation of the mourners, as is usual at a funeral, had been carried on in whispers, and the pauses between were growing longer. Still no minister appeared to break the monotonous silence. Finally, the stillness and inactivity growing more oppressive than he could bear, a ruddy-faced farmer, changing knees and shifting uneasily in his chair, looked up suddenly with a twinkle in his English blue eyes and said, with a good old Yorkshire drawl: "Oo spoke lars?" Not R. Kipling's Mulvaney. Patrick Mulvany was on the witness stand during the trial of Capt. Hammer and Hubbard before Judge Cabanniss, says the San Francisco Chronicle. Mulvany objected to going on record as Patrick. He preferred "Pat," as his friends at Fort Bragg did not know him by any other name. Mulvany, besides being a good witness for the defense, was alry and humorous. As he was leaving the stand, Judge Cabanniss asked him: "Have you ever been in India, Mr. Mulvany?" "No, sor." "Then you don't know your great compatriot Mulvaney?" "No, sor." "Have you ever heard of Rudyard Kipling, Pat?" "No, sor, I have not. But, yer' anner, he don't live in Fort Bragg. I am sure av that," and Mulvaney left the dais with a puzzled look, amid roars of laughter from the assembled crowd Why We Call It "Studio." "Studio" is one of the many foreign words that have acclimatized themselves in the English language. It is a recent import from Italy, unknown to Johnson's dictionary, and apparently not occurring before the nineteenth century; but it has supplied a want. "Study," which is the real English for "studio," suggests a room for reading and writing, and "workroom" lacks distinctiveness. The French get along with "ateller," which literally means a place in which small planks are prepared—in other words, a carpenter's work shop. The Old and the New. The man who gives up the morning paper foregoes reading news 12 to 24 hours old. The man who gives up his afternoon paper loses the news fresh as it happens.—Memphis News-Scimitar. LINCOLN INSTITUTE The enrollment at Lincoln Institute is breaking all former records and now at the close of the first month of the fall term, September 29, over 400 students are in attendance and the number increases daily. For the first time in the history of the institution it has become necessary to use the gallery of the auditorium during devotional exercises. That Lincoln Institute professors and "Lincoln Institute Ideas" are in demand is indicated by the facts that Professor Garnett of the department of classical languages recently has been elected president of Western college, Macon, Mo. That Professor John Wheeler, last year superintendent of industries for young men, is now employed in the Baltimore High school; that Miss Fredrica Sprague, last year in charge of the department of domestic science, is now in charge of similar work in Lincoln High school, Kansas City, and that still other professors have had "silent calls." At the first musicale of the season, given under the directions of Miss Florence Pigeon, department of instrumental music, Miss Ida Burrell of Philadelphia, head of department of domestic science, charmed the audience with her beautiful and well-trained voice, and was literally forced to respond to encore after encore. Among students who took part in the musicale and reflected much cedit on their teacher were Misses Nellie Akers, Beulah Corneal, Josephine Yates, Nellie Pollard, Eva Venters, Zerelda Gordon and others. The orchestra also performed its part in a very creditable manner. Among the violinists were Miss Pansy Phelps and Master Russell Crossland, both of St. Joseph. Grant Tayers, of the department of art, has received from President Allen an order for four large fruit painting for the decoration of the dining hall. Among interested visitors of a few days since, we note Mrs. Rosa Branche of Kansas City, Kan., who came to enter her daughter, Miss Gloria, and to visit the institution. Mrs. Branche, a teacher of wide experience and extensive travel, spoke very highly of the atmosphere of culture and refinement that pervades the institution and was well pleased with its various appointments, its teachers and general management. President Allen spare no palms to make it pleasant for visitors and is always glad to welcome them to the institution. Deformed Chicks. While the faults of incubation are responsible for many of the deformities found in the chickens, and undoubtedly weaken others in ways which are not so apparent to us, one cannot state that the chickens which come from the egg in developed condition and can eat ever die on account of weakness due to the incubation, says a report of the Rhode Island experiment station. In my experience so far the weak chickens, when properly handled, seem to have developed and grown as rapidly as the stronger. However, those which were hatched incompletely developed or with crippled members, as the legs or beak, have not been able to survive in all cases. Under the even temperature system, however, the weaklings, when separated into hovers by themselves, grow unexpectedly well, and may attain some weight. As a practical matter, however, all such weaklings and cripples should be destroyed as soon as hatched. To the poultryman who can devote but little attention to them they would prove an annoyance. Case of Necessity. "H'm! Starvation, I presume..."— Judge. KANSAS CITY. KANSAS. Prof. G. W. Ward, who has been quite ill, is able to be around. We are glad to see Miss Ella Mathews home from Cripple Creek. Mrs. Anna Scott of 5th and State street was thrown from an electric car in Kansas City, Mo., and one limb badly bruised. The Junior choir of the First A. M. E. church, Sunday had their vacation; as it was the Sunday winding up each conference year. Mrs. David Over, of Ottawa, formerly of Kansas City, Kan., was the gues. of Mrs. Polly Bradford and daughters for luncheon Sunday. Mrs. Sam Dilbert of 7th and Troup, was severely scalded at the packing house a few days ago, is much improved now. Mrs. Dilbert also has been quite ill. Miss Mabel Wilson, who has been confined to her home for some time with typhoid fever, is so far unable to attend to her school duties as she mends slowly. Rev. A. W. Ward, the much loved minister of the First A. M. E. church, and community at large, will be at his post of duty Sunday for another conference year. Miss Ada Bland of Bonner Springs, Kansas, and Mr. Ollie Groves of Edwardsville, Kansas, were quietly united in the holy bonds of wedlock Friday evening, by Rev. Jackson of the Eighth Street Baptist church, at the residence of their cousin, Mrs. David Smith of 614 Jersey avenue. Success to this couple in their noble undertaking. Whereas, in his omnipotence, it has pleased the Almighty Father, the creator, of all that is good and sublime, to bid a dear beloved companion, J. W. Baldwin, to lay down his working tools on earth and work no more, farewell to square, level and plumb, and Whereas, believing that all things work together for the good of mankind, fully realizing that happy indeed are those who die in the Lord, they rest from their labor, be it therefore Resolved, that the heartfelt sympathy and condolence of St. Paul Chapter No. 4, Royal Arch Masons, be extended to the bereaved family, and while regretting his untimely demise we realize that he is not dead but only gone before, to wait the clarion blast of resurrection's trumpet on that final judgment morning when all shall be judged according to their deeds and works. And be it further Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be presented to the stricken family and bereaved relatives as a token of the high esteem and sterling worth of Companion Baldwin, and that a copy be spread on our minutes, and a copy be given to the Rising Son. Committee:—J. W. Crowe, chairman. NOTICE! NOTICE!! NOTICE!!! NOTICE! NOTICE!! NOTICE!!! The next rehearsal of the Great Unbleached Minstrels will be Tuesday evening, October 9th, at 2436 Montgall avenue. BITS OF PHILOSOPHY. "Ask and ye shall receive"—if you have the price. Gallantry is not flattery, but a little flattery does not spoil it. A town is never so dead that a circus can not put life into it. People often have more money than they need, but very few of them more than they want. The Republican Party has been true to this principle, and it has done more for labor through its economic policies than has any other cause or force. By protection to American industry, it has brought about a revolution in the condition of labor. It abolisheed slave-labor, and its protective policy has more than doubled the daily wage since the election of Abraham Lincoln. It has written into law all the reforms that have been made to protect employees through factory inspection, mine regulation, the prohibition and regulation of child-labor, the protection and regulation of women who work in factories, the prohibition of the importation of convict labor, and the restriction of the sale of convict labor products at home. There is a good sized volume of Federal law relating to labor, and there are many volumes of such law by Republican States in the North. This law is not simply made for those who are members of labor unions. It is for all labor, and there are according to the census figures, nearly 34,000,000 people in the United States who are in gainful occupations—wage earners. This is nearly 40 per cent of the entire population. The American people are all living by labor. Ours is a labor country and the Republican Party has, in the last century, done just what Mr. Gompers says has been done. It has legislated for labor, to make labor dignified, to better its condition and place labor on a higher plane here than anywhere in the world. The man who wants to identify himself with the real labor party, when he reads the economic history of the United States, will identify himself with the Republican Party and vote the Republican ticket, that President Roosevelt may continue to have a Congress that will follow his recommendations in legislation for still further improvement in the condition of labor in this country. This nation is prospering now as no nation has ever prospered. The voters of the country will have it in their own power next November to continue the era of material prosperity by retaining in authority the party under whose policies it has been made possible. They also have it in their means to check the wave of progress by placing the Democratic Party in control of one branch of the national legislature. Chicago Milkmen Prosecuted. The Illinois state dairy and food commissioner has brought about 100 suits against Chicago milkmen for the breaking of the state law relative to signs and names on wagons, selling skim milk for whole milk and for watering milk. Much of the milk being sold for the use of children in the poorer quarters was found to be watered. Some of the cases are due to the use of formaldehyde in the milk, but these cases are not reported numerous. The best part of the prosecutions consists in the publication in the daily papers of the names of the men being prosecuted and the charges against them. Thus in the list printed last week we find that there are charges against 17 for selling adulterated milk, charges against ten for having no labels on their cans of skim milk and also for selling adulterated milk, and against nine for selling skim milk contrary to law and violating the label law. The other prosecutions are for the violation of the label law. Eight-Hour Day for Society. There should be an eight-hour day for "fashionable" women. We cannot talk scandal continuously for 12, as we do now—the excitement and the strain upon the imagination are terrific.—London Truth. NUMBER 11 Good is a reality and a power, and a greater power than the evil. Every age has had its saints, from the days of Abel until now. Human virtue has grown beside human vice. In some of the darkest characters there have been gleams of light not of the evil one. Amid some of the most violent scenes of human history have moved spirits of purity and kindness like sisters of mercy over rough battlefields. And steadily mankind has moved upward into a better present. And jealously does the present cherish the best that has come down to it out of the decay of the past. Now, it is every man's privilege to help this victory of the good over the evil. He cannot do it by pressively watching the battle. Each one must overcome the evil in his own life by persevering resistance. But merely repressive measures are nevar adequate. It is not enough that vice be absent. Negative virtue is for an aggressive goodness, for a positive virtue. The farmer is never satisfied merely to have his land free from weeds; he wants it covered with grain. As the easiest and surest way to keep the weeds from a field is by giving good grain a good start and cultivating it, so the best way to free a life and a world from evil is by finding the good and encouraging it. By seeking and cultivating the good will the evil be overcome. By simply making the most of the best he discovers in himself and in all his fellowmen, and by making this a habit, a man will be rendering an incalculable service to the cause of righteousness and truth in the world. And now it is for men to gain the fearless faith of Christ that the fondest hopes of their hearts are not impossible of realization; that the noblest ideals in their minds are not impracticable; that they should believe in the power of good more than in the power of evil, and lose their despair and pessimism in the grandeur of His faith and hope and timeless goodness. He Goeth Before "He goeth before you." Matthew xxviii:7. "He goeth before us." Is it infancy? He went before us there, in being Him,elf the Babe of Bethelheth! Is it youth? He "goest before us" in the nurturing home of Nazareth, sanctifying early toil and filial obedience. Is it hours of weariness and faintness and poverty? He "goest before us," an exhausted traveler to the wells of Jacob, "sweary with His journey." Is it temptation we have to struggle with? He "goest before us" to the wilderness of Judae, and to the awful depths of the olive groves of Gehschemane, to grapple with the hour and power of darkness. Is it the loss of friends? He "goeth before us" to the grave of Bethany to weep there. Is it death (the last enemy) we dread? He "goeth before us" wrapped in the cements of the tomb, descending into the region of hades, uncrowning the king of terrors, trampling his diadem into dust! Is it entrance into heaven? He "goeth before us" there. Having overcome the sharpness of death, He has opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. He shows us the path of life leading into His own blessed presence, where there is fullness of joy, and to His right hand, where there are pleasures for evermore.—Dr. J. R. Macduff. Christlike Living. We should seek to be like Christ in His wonderful optimism. If we find ourselves turning every sight and sound of earth into sadness, we should take ourselves resolutely in hand. We are living wastefully, sinfully, while we submit to such moods, and we should set ourselves to work to change the miserable trend and habit into something more beautiful and wholesome. Part of the work of Christ in us is to transform us into songful, cheerful, rejoicing Christians. St. Paul learned during his long life, in whatsoever state he was, therein to be content. He carried the secret of content in his own heart, so that he was not dependent on this world's weather for the temperature of his inner life. Women are like men in one respect; some are good and some are not. STUDY LOCO WEED. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BOTANISTS AT WORK. Immense Losses Sustained by West ern Rangers Has Induced the Gov- ernment to Investigate This Peculiar Plant. Department of agriculture botanists are making a study of the locc word to ascertain which particular element in it is injurious to cattle. The experiments are being made as a result of the losses sustained by western rangers through the peculiar disease produced by the plant on their cattle. Whole herds of sheep are known to have become locc by eating the wood and the resultant loss to the raiders has been extremely heavy. The experiments are unusual and interesting. A large supply of the different species of the plant has been sent to the department from the states in which it is found, principally Montana, and is undergoing a chemical analysis in the laboratories of the botanical division. One form of the experiments is the tests made on live animals. The poison is extracted from the wood and fed to a rabbit. The effect is similar to that of intoxicants on human beings. For the next several hours the rabbit finds itself on a glorious spree and its antics are like those of a drunken man. Unable to keep its balance, and seeing double, the rabbit finally collapses completely and falls into a stupor, from which it awakes, maybe, with an awful headache. So amusing have the antics of some of the animals been that photographs have been taken of them while they were under the influence of the stimulant. One of these pictures shows a locked rabbit which had been perruited to go on a particularly strenuous jag. The snap shot shows him lying on his back with his feet stuck up in the air. On his face is a foolish grin. His half-closed eyes are bleared. His fur is ruffled and mussed. His mouth is half open, giving him the appearance of an inebriated man who is trying to tell a story, but can't make it seem to have any sense. Altogether the phographs give the impression of overindulgence in spirits. In addition to these tests the department is making experiments at stations in various parts of the west. In fact, the latter experiments have been in progress for several years and the innovation lies in the introduction of the work in the local laboratories. The experiments carried on here are, however, entirely different from those made in the west. The latter consist mainly of observations made on various ranches of the effect of the weed on animals. The loco disease has been generally known for many years, but in spite of unceasing investigation its cause has never been exactly disclosed. Even now there is some skepticism as to whether it is attributable to the so-called loco weed or to some other source. A number of raisers believe the disease may be produced in sheep by their eating large quantities of the alkali soil. On the other hand, many of the cattlemen hold that sheep are less apt to become locoed when regularly salted than when they eat large quantities of alkali, while the large majority are of the opinion that there is no connection between loco and alkali. Experts in botany believe that the most reliable observations of the disease indicate that it is the result of the animals consuming certain weeds. The disease assumes either an active or chronic form. In the active form the animal lives only a few days, while in the chronic form it may live for two or three years and manifest the same symptoms in a milder degree. It has been found that horses and sheep are the animals which are most frequently affected by the disease. Cattle occasionally acquire the habit, but the cases are comparatively rare. In certain parts of Montana the habit became so widespread some time ago among horses that the raising of them was abandoned until the locoed animals were disposed of and other horses which hadn't acquired the habit it were imported. Speaker Cannon's Double. Speaker Cannon has a double in the person of "Uncle Ed" Trueblood, an account collector living in Portland, Ore. And because of this fact Mr. Cannon's face adorns many boxes of five-cent cigars in and around the city named. This is how it came about: Mr. Trueblood was on a visit to Washington some time ago and when seated in a hotel lobby was accosted by a is the design I spoke to you about and brusque young man who said: "This we will start off with 500,000 boxes Everybody knows you and the cigar is bound to be a go. Of course, we will keep you supplied for life." The Oregonian saw what was intended and realized the young man's mistake, but he gravely gave the required permission and eve, since then the speaker has been receiving boxes of cigars which come in handy in campaign times. Old and Young Speakers. Joseph G. Cannon is the oldest mar ever elected speaker of the national house of representatives. He was also longer a member of that body before becoming speaker than any other presiding officer. The youngest speaker the house ever had was R. M. T. Hunt er, of Virginia, who was only 30 year old and in his second term when chosen to preside. WORK FOR ARMY OFFICERS. That They Have Nothing to Do Is a Mistaken Idea. Persons who think officers of the regular army have nothing to do but sit around their clubs attired in their nattiest unifroms enjoying life would doubtless be surprised to see them minus blouse and starched collars swinging axes, hewing timber for trestle bridges, digging trenches with pick and shovel, carrying sod for fascine reverments and making pallades in time of peace, says the Dayton News. There are three colleges at Fort Leavenworth for the instruction of army officers in the art of war—the infantry and cavalry school, the signal school and the staff college. All are under the supervision of Brig. Gen. J. Franklin Bell, aided by a body of officers, designated as a personal staff. One interesting feature of the college course is the engineering department, where the student officers have to do real work, and have no enlisted men to aid them in any manner. In this they are called upon to construct lying, kneeling and standing trenches, palisades, facades and gabions, reverments or sandbags and loopholes of sod on parapet, wire entanglements, bridges with framed trestles on land and water, trestle bridges of round timber, bridges of canvas pontoons, barrel and log rafts, double-lock spar bridges, with trestle approaches, bridges with wooden pontoons and with pile trestles and a flying bridge. The suspension bridge is 100 feet long between two supporting towers. Two of the bridges, with reserve equipage wooden pontoons, are each of 12 bays and 240 feet long. Each bridge is tested by driving a loaded army wagon across it. The flying bridge, to carry troops across streams too wide to be bridged, was constructed on the Missouri river. It is made by sinking a large stone, to which a cable is attached. Pontons, either two or three, or long rafts are attached to the cable and the current is made to force the raft across the stream by means of a rudder placed at a certain angle. The officers are taken to different parts of the big reservation and in charge of their instructors build trenches and bridges, the majority of which are left standing. They have been viewed by high army officers and pronounced perfect in every detail. WAR OVER MONEY MATTERS. Strife Between Executive Departments and Congress. It is a constant warfare between the heads of the executive departments and congress over money matters. Many schemes are devised by the department heads to wring money from congress. The new commerce department has been treated with special pizzardiness. Immigration matters have absorbed most of the time of Secretary Metcalf of the department of commerce during the last year, except when he was sent to San Francisco as the special representative of the president, after the earthquake. When Mr. Cortelyou organized the department of commerce and labor he did much to make the secretary responsible for all sorts of detail, such as the heads of departments generally leave to competent subordinates. Consequently Mr. Metcalf fell heir to a tough job. Also it may be said, congress has pruned down appropriations for this department, and Mr. Metcalf has barely enough money to get along with. Still he does the best he can. Secretary Wilson gets plenty of money for the department of agriculture, and, according to plans he has been working on for some time, he intends to put the cotton boll weevil and the Texas cattle tick out of business during the next year. Incidentally, he and his civil service inspectors hope to so control the beef packers that the people can eat all sorts of meat with perfect safety from his time forward. Mr. Wilson is a steady-going Scotchman that has been worried only once since he has been in the cabinet. That was last summer, when the officials of the Southern Cotton association were in the control of Wall street speculators. The secretary of agriculture has recovered from that shock, however. Senator Will Again Take Seat. A member of Senator Chauncey M. Depew's family is authority for the statement that when congress meets next December the senator will be found in his seat. "Senator Depew's recovery has been slow but the gains he has made have been held," he said. "At no time within the last year has he been in such good health and spirits and the doctors assert that if the improvement continues he will be equal to the strain of another session of congress." For several months Senator Depew has been in retirement at his home at Dobbs Ferry. The nature of his malady has never been made known, but was generally understood to have been in the nature of a nervous breakdown. Mexico's Worthy Representative. Mexico's Worsty Representative. The ambassador from Mexico, Mr. Casasus, is a very amiable and accomplished man. He is still on the sunny side of 50, a landed proprietor, lawyer, banker, political economist and practical financier. He speaks English and French and reads German. His Spanish translation of "Evangeline"—made when he was a young fellow of 20—is very highly thought of in Mexico. He never touches liquor or tobacco. He is an early riser and a hard worker. He looks more than a little like the Rev Dr. Parkhurst. WOMAN AND HOME As a general thing the winter milliner is to exercise her ingenuity in trimming felt hats. The "felt" share is almost universal, and the good old days have returned when hats were trimmed, and not made. This is true even of the dress hats, which have flowers, fruit and feathers loaded on plain felt shapes. For instance, one of the prettiest hats of this class ```markdown ``` was a black felt in slightly oval shape, the brim surrounded with beautiful pink velvet and silk roses, and a large white feather pointing backward. It also was bound in black velvet for a half inch over the brim, which is one of the little finishes which is to be used a great deal. There are two or three exceptions to this felt hat rule, two of them still in the realm of dress hats. One is the covered velvet sailor, or broad brimmed hat, trimmed heavily with curled ostrich wreath, or flowers put on in the same way, or grapes and other fruit, and flowers mixed, and the tulle and lace hats made on wire frames, which in black will be used a great deal. There also is the "cone" used this summer in Neapolitan, but which now comes in felt. It can be converted to dress purposes, but is best adapted to the little knockabout street hat. IDEA FOR DRESS GARNITURE Many Ways in Which Design Can Be Made Effective. The illustration gives an idea for a dress garniture of most original character. A wide cream or white ribbon or a band of cream striped silk might be used as background, and the work should, of course, be done in a ```markdown ``` frame to insure the perfect mounting of the little medallions. These are of black or myrtle green satin, each having a tiny flower spray painted or embroidered upon it. It would be best to back the medallions with fine and rather stiff net. They can be applied to the background either with a narrow border of satin or buttonhole stitch or with a little outline of small, close-set paillettes in gold or silver. The connecting ribbons would have a particularly light, graceful effect if carried out in fine silver cord and pearls, or they might be simply embroidered in some soft color to suit the dress for which the trimming is intended.—Montreal Herald. Empire scarfs have taken a firm hold upon la Parisienne's affections, and are used chiefly for accomplishing that spot of color that all Paris is outdoing itself over. To the home milliner who dreads the stiffness of a shaped hat these are easy of manipulation. They simply are "knocked in," and are allowed to dent as they will, the more carelessly the better. They are stiffened by a small wire crown slipped underneath, to which is fastened the bandeau. They usually are trimmed with velvet and grebes, or a bird, at one side, and are sometimes faced around under the brim as could be done with a felt hat. An extremely pretty one was in navy with lining draped in of mirror velvet in the same shade. The facing ran into the cache peigne, and also into a great wheel rosette built up on the left front. Topping this was a paradise feather of the lovely parrot green, tipped with purples and bronzes, which is so fashionable in combination with blue. As a general thing the blocked hats are easy for the amateur. Of these. ```markdown ``` felt sailors, in all heights and sizes, the little round hat that becomes oblong when turned up at the side, are the most seen. Small, narrow, or close hats for early wear and larger ones later to be loaded with luxurious trimmings for dress wear, is a safe rule for those who buy but one or two hats. SHOWING THE WEDDING GIFTS. Charming Exhibitions Made at French Bridals. In Paris most charming conceits are devised to enhance the effect of an exhibition of wedding gifts in the bride's home. Sometimes the furniture is removed from one or two rooms to give space to show cases, where is made a tasteful array of the most delicate parts of the trousseau, and numberless blovels. The heavier articles are suspended from screens or round the walls from hanging ribbons, pictures, or even dados of crinkled papier velours in some subdued shade. One of the most telling arrangements is dispersal against the walls of small tables covered with mignonette-green silk, and on which are artistically displayed the bridal treasures, to each of which is attached with a pink ribbon the card of the giver. The contents of every table are partly veiled by vaporous tulle held up to the wall by some bracket lamp, high statuette, and draped at the sides with large choux in pink satin. The coloring depends evidently on the prevailing tones of the house decoration. Such a treatment is light, tasteful and not too expensive. A scheme which involves larger reception rooms and a greater ontlay of time and money consists of a triumphal arch in bamboo at the entrance to every door, often covered with climbers, whilst through the whole suite of rooms are distributed in profusion palm trees, jardinieres, tall vases and corbellies full of flowers, giving the impression of a bower of flowers and foliage, in which are nestled the marvels of the bride's outfit and of her friends' generosity and taste. Hinta from Paris. The latest craze continues to be the Pierette neck ruffle, usually of white tulle or of point d'esprit, ornamented with long ends of black velvet. Some are made of the exact color and shade of the hat donned, and the effect is very good; but all white or all black is oftenest seen. Stripes, and still more stripes, are being used, but the ways the stripe is achieved have surely taxed the ingenuity of designers and manufacturers to the utmost. Silk volle makes some fascinating costumes, one strikingly pretty one of cerise finished with a touch of black taffeta. Amber hatpins are even more popular than they were in the spring, and some of the new ones are very claiborate, embellished with incrustations, perhaps, of diamonds or other precious stones. Chiffon vells in all the pastel shades, whether intended for motor use or for picturesque draping of the dress hat, have velvet dots of varying sizes. Light blues with brown coin dots is liked, as is also light tan color with the same color decoration. Poets and students of astronomy have a faraway look.

"Tips" Given by Monarchs. King Edward disburses a good deal of money in tips every year. Each visit to one of his subjects costs him from $1,000 to $3,000. At shooting parties the gamebeaters $15 each and the gamekeepers $25 or $50 each. When he goes abroad he does still better. On the occasion of his recent visit to the kalser he gave away nearly $10,000 in this way. When the czar visited England he left behind a check for $15,000 to be distributed among servants who attended him. CURED OF GRAVEL. Not a Single Stone Has Formed Since Using Doan's Kidney Pills. J.

Women at forty, or thereabouts, have their future in their own hands. There will be a change for the better or worse, for the better if the system is purified by such a tonic as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. D. C. Wedding, of Hartford, Ky., writes as follows concerning the difficulties which affected her: "I was seriously ill and was confined to my bed for six or eight months in all, during two years. I had chills, fever, rheumatism. My stomach seemed always too full, my kidneys did not act freely, my liver was inactive, my heart beat was very weak and I had dizziness or swimming in my head and nervous troubles. "I was under the treatment of several different physicians but they all failed to do me any good. After suffering for two years I learned from an Arkansas friend about the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I decided that I would try them. The very first box I took made me feel better and when I had taken four boxes more I wasentively well, weighed fifteen pounds more than when I began, resumed my household duties, and have since continued in the best of health. I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to many people on account of what they did for me, and I feel that I cannot praise them too strongly." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills restored Mrs. Wedding to health because they actually make new blood and when the blood is in full vigor every function of the body is restored, because the blood carries to every organ, every muscle, every nerve, the necessary nourishment.

A JEWISH PEDDLER By E. CRAYTON McCANTS Since the summer had come, I had left my office in the town and had gone out to that old plantation upon which I was reared and which recently I have purchased. No lack of occupation have I there, nor of friends. For me the river murmurs and the old-fashioned roses bloom; for me at sundown the negroes chant their plaintive melodies; and for me the warm night falls, the twinkling stars come out, and the moon rises over the pines. Also Isaacsohn is accustomed to visit me there. Now Isaacsohn represents the restless energy and the kindly genius of a wandering commercialism, for he is a peddler, and goes from door to door bearing a voluminous pack and an ant and ready tongue. when he purchased there not in even sunshine and the far foresight, the farm man's skill—and paying for the imn of Isaacsohn. "Now tell me w town are doing?" A look of shat over the trader's "I know nodings-dere," he confessed goodt, sqire. If town do you know idt? I confessed my probable course of event. "And what it?" I asked. It was ten o'clock in the midsummer morning when last this cheerful fittuer came my way. Overhead the sun shone with exceptional fervor, and out in the dusty middle-stretch of the highway the heatwaves rose and shimmered until the white dog-roses in the farther nedge seemed but the shadows of blossoms grown faint and tremulous. Through this quivering haze I beheld from my seat on my broad vine-shaded plaza an odd figure coming down the road—a figure humped like a camel and equipped with two M. W. H. "Dot Iss Lofely." legs and a staff. A closer look enabled me to discern the face of a man, who, when he reached my gate, unlatched it and turned inside. "Ab! Goodt morning, sqvire! A hot morning idt lss." I recognized Isaacsohn. To tell the truth about the matter, I was tired of my own company, and was not sorry to see the face of the man. "Come in!" I called, as the fellow stood hesitating and mopping his hot brow with a bright red handkerchief. "Come right in, my friend, and tell us all the news of the countryside and the town." The peddler smiled his appreciation, came forward to the steps, lowered his heavy bundle, and unfastened the encircling straps. "Vill you buy, skvire?" he inquired, insinuating. "What have you this morning?" I asked. Isaacohn spread his hands. "I haf vat you vants," he said, with confidential interest. "I haf efferydlings!" With a flourish of his forearm he dived among his parcels, cast a wrapping aside, and brought a woven counterpane to light. "Dot iss loely," he commented. "Dot shread iss chust vat I bringt for you, sqire. See de pattern of ut, de closeness of de veque—dere iss not, no neffer vill be no shpreads like dot any more." "Come, now," I remarked, with confidence, "there are others of the same pattern. I guess. At least you must admit that the man who wove that one could weave another like it if he wished." Isaacohn shook his head vehemently. "No," he said, with emphasis, "no." Then he lowered his voice to a whisper "Sqvire," he confided to me, "dot man vove dot vun shpread undt den—he died!" Really I did not want the filmsy counterpane, but I drew out my pocketbook and paid for it immediately. Does one buy mere inert materiality We wish the city merchant to build up, but we also desire the country merchant to prosper. I do not believe in the mail-order citizen. If a place is good enough for a man to live in and to make his money in, it is a when he purchases an article? Was there not in even this poor fabric the sunshine and the rain; the merchant's foresight, the farmer's labor, the craftsman's skill—and Isaacsohn? I was paying for the immediate personality of Isaacsohn. "Now tell me what the people in town are doing?" I suggested. A look of shamefacedness spread over the trader's mobile countenance. "I know nodings—I didt not shtay dere," he confessed. "Dot town iss no goodt, sqire. If so be I owned dot town do you know vet I vouldt do vid idt?" I confessed my ignorance of his probable course of action in such an event. "And what would you do with it?" I asked. "Vell," he went on, reflectively, "I would run a vire fence through de middle of idt undt i would turn out both sides into de pasture-land." I laughed. "From what you say, I gather that you are opposed to towns," I remarked. He shook his head. "Nodt all of dem," he replied, "chust dot vun-horse town ofer dere. Now dere vun vun nice lettle town back up de shate. Vun time Rebecca she liffed dere." I lifted my eyebrows. "Rebecca?" I queried. "Who was Rebecca, Isaacsohn?" "Ah," said Isaacsohn, with a shrug and a smile, "she vas chust mine shvehtheart vun time long time ago. I vas nodt den so oldt as vat I iss now, undt Rebecca she lookt schveet to me. I like her pooty vell, you see, undt she like me pooty vell—sometimes I go to see her more as two times a week. Vunce I say: 'Rebecca, vill you kiss me, dear'" "She shake her headt undt laugh. 'I kisses no-such vicked man,' she say, 'like dot Isaacsohn.'" "I feels me pooty badt. 'Rebecca', I say, 'I liss no such vicked man.' "She answer qvick. 'But, yes,' says she. 'You say no prayers—you know no prayers. You say vun prayer undt I kiss you right now, qvick.' "Den I vas gladt. Idt seem to me dot I chust kneel me down dere undt moe my lips so she can see undt dondt says nodings. "But Rebecca she vas schmart—she too schmart for foolishness like dot was. 'Isaacsohn,' she say, sorter shordt, 'you say dot prayer out loud!' "Den I feels me pooty badt again—I been vun vicked man, undt I chust dondt know no prayer." I was interested. "That was indeed unfortunate," I interpolated. "What happened, pray?" Isaacohn drew up his shoulders and extended his open palms. "I chust triedt to think," he replied. "For vun minue I said nodings—den I opened mine mouth undt dltt de best dot I could. 'Oh, Lordt,' I say, 'make me thankful for dot vich now I am aboubt to receive!'" When I had sufficiently recovered myself to bid him farewell, Isaacohn shouldered his pack, but as he would have passed to the gate my Irish setter—a gentle and harmless dog—stood up an I barred the way. He turned to me. "De dorrg!" he ejaculated, apologetically. "Oh, it's all right—go ahead!" I said. "Everybody knows my dog—he won't bite." My friend dropped his pack and made his customary gesture with his palms. "Ye-es!" he responded, earnestly, "I know, undt you know—e-ferybody know—do dorrg? Do he know?" Whereupon I arose in silence and escorted Isaacsohn to the road. I felt that he had earned a free passage from the premises as well as the price of his counterpane. (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)

THE HISTORY OF POLICEMAN FLYNN BY ELLIOTT FLOWER "If I had me wa-ay," said Policeman Barney Flynn, with conviction, "every wan iv th' po-lis magistrates iv th' city wud be out carryin' a locust fr' to prepa-are thim fr' their juttes on th' blinch." "Locust" being a technical name for a policeman's club, the full import of this remark must be readily apparent, and Policeman Flynn had good reason for making it. His beat at the time lay in a district where there was a most troublecome gang of hoodlums. Among them were some who had passed from what may be termed "hoodlumism" to actual crime, although of a somewhat petty nature. Just on the verge of manhood—possibly about 18 years of age—the lived Vincent They Played Tricks on Him. in that atmosphere of lawlessness where youths develop early, and they not only led the younger ones in a sort of general rebellion against law and order, but they were personally guilty of many troublesome and occasionally costly depredations. Naturally, they made life a burden to Policeman Flynn. They played tricks on him, they get up mock fights to fool him, they jeered at him, and finally they began to amuse themselves by throwing stones at him whenever they could do so with reasonable safety. He knew that they were responsible for the minor crimes of which complaint was frequently made, but he lacked evidence, and it was not until he had narrowly escaped being brained by half a brick that he finally took two of the ring- leaders to the station. "What's the charge?" asked the police magistrate the next morning. "M-m-m, well, they 's a bad lot, an they was heavin' r-rocks at me," answered Policeman Flynn. "Did they hit you?" demanded the magistrate. And when the policeman admitted that he had succeeded in dodging the missile, the magistrate added: "Oh, well, boys will be boys, and we mustn't be too hard on them. If they d' hit you it would be different. Discharged." "Luk at that, now," commented Polleman Flynn. "A big chunk iv b a brick come r-right fr me head, an' I duck, an' that lets thim go free. 'T was fr me, I sup-pose, to ha-ave me head shplit open fr to ma-ake a case. Oho! ' is a fine thing, is th' ha-aw iv th' magistrates. 'Ha-ave ye ye-er head with ye?' says his honor. 'I ha-ave, says I. 'Ye ha-ave no bus-ness to', says he; an' thin he says. This day-findent is discha-arged fr th' reason that Officer Flynn comes into coort with his head on, thereby vlatin' th' la-aw. 'I'd like to ha-ave a ton iv that la-aw fr to thrown in r' river. Ye've got to ha-ave th' ividence, a ca-art load iv it. 'It is like this: A felly comes cr-reepin up behind a ma-an with a knife in his ha-and. 'T is me juty, says I to mesif, 'fr to arrishe him. 'Wait, says th' la-aw to me, 'fr he'll kill th' ma-an, an' thin yell' ha-ave a good case. Oho! ' it is a gr-eat thing to know th' law.' Fortunately, however, these remarks were not made in the hearing of the court, and Policeman Flynn returned to his beat. Naturally, his troubles were not lessened by his failure to secure a conviction, for the gang became bolder and more demonstrative than ever. But the policeman patiently awaited his opportunity, and before long he had the same two in custody again, with what he believed to be a good case against them. "T was like this," he explained in court the following days. "Th' door iv th' grocery is open, an' th' two pris'ners is r-runnin' awa-ay. I foilles thim an' shtumbles over a ham, which they dr-ropped." "Did you see them drop it?" asked the boys' lawyer. "Iv coarse not," answered Pollicenan Flynn, "but 't is not to be sup-posed th' ham wa-alked down th' alley be its-slif. They 's a lot iv fruit, too, leadin' all th' wa-ary to where th' byes is r-rounded up, an' they ha-ave a pocketful iv cha-ange taken from th' till." "Because 'tis not in th' till low," replied Policeman Flyn. "Oh, well," said the judge, at the conclusion of the hearing, "there is nothing to show that they are the ones who dropped the ham and the fruit, and they give a very plausible expla- nation of the possession of so much small change. The evidence is purely circumstantial, and to send them up would be only to start them on the downward path. I'll give them another chance." "Sta-art thim down he sindin' thim up," muttered Policeman Flynn to himself, as he left the courtroom. "Oho! 't is a hum'rous ma-an th' judge is. 'T is a sha-ame he's not editin' a comie pa-aper, it is that. Sta-art thim! Why. 't is thim same la-ads toa't r-idin' a tandim bi-sickle on th' down'ard pa-ath with with th' br-rake br-roke." That night, as usual, he told his troubles to his wife, but he got little sympathy from her. "If ye're an injane-yus ma-an," she said, "ye'll land thim fellies with th' goods on thim. 'T is th' only wa-ay, an' ye're long enough on th' foorer fce to know it. Don't talk to me iv' th' judge. He knows what he wa-ants, an' it is fr' you give to it to him." Policeman Flynn shook his head with the doleful air of a man who thought the whole world was against him; but he always shows best in adversity. In his own language, he "wint out after thim la-ads," and he got them. He marched them into the station house one night about two weeks later, and two more dejected specimens of humanity never appeared there. One of them was carrying a mantel clock heavy enough seriously to tax his strength, and the other was loaded down with brass and irons. One of the officers in the station made a motion to take the booty away from them, but Policeman Flynn instantly interfered. "Lave thim alone!" he cried. "I ha-ave thim with th' goods on thim, an' I'll not lave thim put th' things down till th' magistrate sees thim. I've wa-alked thim from a mile awa-ay an' they not be out iv me sight this night." "Walked them!" cried the sergeant. "Why didn't you call the wagon?" "T wu'd n't do," answered Policeman Flynn. "I c'u'd n't keep me eye on thim. I follied behind thim with a gun in me ha-and, an' ma-arched thim all th' wa-ay, an' they 's no wan takes thim things till th' judge sees thim. Oho! I ha-ave th' ividence this time. I caught thim comin' out iv a house with th' goods on thim." "But they can't possibly hold those things until they get into court," urged one of the other officers. "It would wreck an Atlas." "M-m-m, well, I'm not posited on jography, but I know a bit iv po-lis coorts, an' I've larned a few things iv evidence." returned Policeman Flynn. "Me back's near broke, an' me arms is fallin' off," whined one of the culprits. "Shtand up, there!" commanded Po- L. "I'll Show Thim to th' Judge with th' Goods on Thim." liceman Flynn. "Ye've been playin' ta-ag with me long enough. Put th' clock on ye-er other shoulder an' shift ye-er fut. 'T will give ye a bit iv a-rrest. Oho! ye had a good laugh on Barney Flynn Fr not bein' able to put ye over twicet befour, but 't is not the sa-ane now." "You'll kill them, Barney," said the sergeant. "Either of those loads would tire a Samson out in 15 minutes." "I'll show thim to th' judge with th' goods on thim," persisted Policeman Flynn, doggedly. "I'll ha-ave no more monkey-toolin' with th' laads." "I'll draw a picture of them, and you can show that to the judge," suggested a policeman of artistic inclinations. Policeman Flynn hesitated. He had no desire to inflict unnecessary hardship on his prisoners, but he did not wish to take any chances. He could not forget that they had been discharged twice before. "Will ye all sign it an' shwear 't is th' wa-yay I br-brought thim in?" he asked. "We will!" was the prompt reply. "We will," was the prompt reply. And when the evidence was produced in court the next day it was pronounced conclusive. (Copyright, 1966, by Joseph B. Bowles.) (Copyright, by the Century Co.) Expert Testimony.

Happenings in Gotham New York Financiers Converted by Wave of Religion—Big Pay Roll of City--Countess de Rilly Seeks Divorce—Big Bore Completed--Other Interesting News. NEW YORK—With the remarkable achievement of having converted Wall street to his credit, Rev. William Wilkinson, street preacher, has ended his labors in the financial district and will seek other fields for his evangelistic labors. While few have suspected the reformation that was going on among the men who promote trusts, water stocks and strip the fleece from the guilleless lamb, it is said confidently that the work has been thorough and that Wall street has resolved to go and sin no more. Men of millions as well as clerks, messenger boys and truckmen, went to old Trinity church to say farewell to Rev. Mr. Wilkinson, who has gained the title of "Rector of Wall Street," and he closed there one of the most remarkable missions ever known in New York or anywhere else. For five days a week Rev. Mr. Wilkinson, who often calls himself plain "Wilkinson," has stood at the noon hour in front of the customhouse and those of every station in life have stopped in the midst of the temples of Mannon to listen to him. Bankers, brokers and merchants have sought him out after his services and have invited the evangelist of the street to their homes. They have taken him to luncheon, offered him the use of their offices and have done everything possible to help him. front of the custom-house and those of every sta- in the midst of the temples of Mammon to listen and merchants have sought him out after his serv- evangelist of the street to their homes.

Chief among those who have accorded recognition to the missionary is James Stillman, the president of the National City bank and one of the leaders of finance. Following the lead of Mr. Stillman, others in the street did all they could to accord to the evangelist recognition and support. Hundreds of those prominent in the commercial and the financial worlds, now count themselves his parishioners. Protestants, Roman Catholics and Jews are all the same to him, and on his "attendance committee" the "Rector of Wall Street" has representatives of all races and all creeds. Few who saw Rev. Mr. Wilkinson begin his missionary labors in the street would have believed that he would have obtained such a following. Those who are familiar with evangelistic work thought that he could not have chosen a less promising field, but in less than a week he had all Wall street listening to him. There is nothing of the hackneyed revivalist in his methods of preaching, and all his appeals were directed to reason and to the higher ideals of men. CITY PAYS MILLIONS TO EMPLOYES. The city of New York has 60,948 employees on its pay roll. The total pay roll is $57,068,253.13. This fact appears from a report submitted to the board of estimate by the commission named by the mayor early in the year to reclassify and regrade all the employees in the city departments. The commission was composed of Joseph Haag, secretary of the board, and the various secretaries of the members of the board of estimate. The report of the commission shows that the slackest sort of methods prevail in the establishing of titles and in the correspondence of the titles to the civil service regulations. The commission reports that the same position and grades have been created by the same departments several times since January 1, 1902, and that the titles created do not in many instances correspond exactly with the titles used in the civil service regulation, thereby creating much confusion. being paid to persons holding the same title and de of work. A general reclassification and regard- departments is recommended, one of these being a department at $3,000 a year. The corporation count at $12,000 a year, four assistants at $10,000 a year, $2,550 and two at $2,250. The commissioners of ac- cer at $6,000 and an examining engineer at $3,500. Different salaries are being paid to persons holding the same title and performing the same grade of work. A general reclassification and regarding of the places of all departments is recommended, one of these being a chemist for the finance department at $3,000 a year. The corporation counsel wants a first assistant at $12,000 a year, four assistants at $10,000 a year, two junior assistants at $2,550 and two at $2,250. The commissioners of accounts want a chief engineer at $6,000 and an examining engineer at $3,500. COUNTESS TIRES OF SECOND HUSBAND. Countess Eugenia De Rilly, otherwise known as Mrs. George Shroter and presently the wife of George Shroter, mining expert of Denver, Col., has left Mr. Shroter and is about to appeal to the courts for a divorce. The former countess left Mr. Shroter because he refused to spend his good money to redeem the de Rilly estate. The de Rilly properties and titles are regarded as an asset by the government of Greece, and the count, taking the official view of the case, had mortgaged them to the limit. Countess de Rilly began a suit for divorce some little time ago in this city. The count did not contest and after the decree was granted the countess married Mr. Shroter. According to the countess, Shroter is of noble birth and could have a German title if he cared to pay for it. Also according to the countess, Mr. Shroter refused to buy a German title or to ginger over the de Rilly estate in Greece.

She stated that he ate like a pig. That his "form" was distinctly bad, and that he bore no resemblance to a gentleman. Mr. Shorter bore this for a "time and then there followed a scene. The beautiful countess gathered up her dainty skirts and, leaving her magnificent apartment, took up her residence at the Hotel Seville. It is said that she will remain there until she has made application for divorce, and is quite free to look for another title and some money. MORE LAWYERS HIRED FOR THAW. Two additional lawyers have been retained for the defense of Harry Thaw. The lawyers are John H. Iselin and Howard S. Gans. The latter was formerly an assistant under District Attorney Jerome. Gans and Iselin will be associated with "Cliff Hartridge in the defense of Thaw. Mr. Iselin stated that it had not yet been decided who would conduct Thaw's defense at the trial. He admitted that David T. Watson, of Pittsburg, would be retained as an advisory counsel. A notice of motion has been served on Assistant District Attorney Garvin by counsel for Thaw that in the supreme court, they would make a motion for the removal of the indictment for murder in the first degree against Thaw from the court of general sessions to the supreme court. Accompanying the notice were two addifalvies signed by Thaw's counsel. One by Hartridge is signed by Thaw's counsel. One by Hartridge is to the effect that his client wants a speedy trial because the case has caused widespread discussion. The second affidavit is signed by John B. Cleason and states that in a recent talk with District Attorney Jerome he was informed that owing to the large number of cases on the calendar Thaw would not be tried until the middle of November. and wants a speedy trial because the case has caused the second affidavit is signed by John B.

The first train to run under the North river from New York to New Jersey made its trip the other day, 6,000 feet from shore line to shore line. The two ends of the great North river tunnel which the Pennsylvania road has been building were brought together. When the two ends were connected it was found they met in perfect alignment, and the most sanguine anticipations of the engineers in charge of the work were realized. Indeed, it might be said that these anticipations were more than realized, for the running of the first train took place just one year ahead of scheduled time. The rapidity of the construction work is all the more remarkable because of the unforeseen obstacles that were encountered as the work progressed. The divergent rock and soil formations through which the tunnel had to be carved much unlooked-for trouble, together with the dank the piercing of gas pockets and other natural hin- much detail work to be accomplished, and it will be the long tubes are ready for the regular traffic of is an accomplished fact.

The divergent rock and soil formations through which the tunnel had to be carried were responsible for much unlocked-for trouble, together with the dangers encountered through the piercing of gas pockets and other natural hazards. There still remains much detail work to be accomplished, and it will be a long time still before the long tubes are ready for the regular traffic of the road, but the tunnel is an accomplished fact. For the first time a man can walk dry shod from Jersey to Manhattan. The work has been under the personal direction of Charles M. Jacobs, chief engineer. It is said of him that he has had to do with the building of more tunnels then any man now living. His principal assistant was James Forgle. PEACE BE WITH YOU, LITTLE ONE WALL ST.

IN KANSAS CITY, TWICE ALL THE REST. The paid circulation of THE RISING SON is more than double the combined circulation of all the other Kansas City Golored weekly newspapers. The Negro's destiny is in his own hands—let him draw the line. The less we say about our diamonds the better it will be for all Negroes. The immoral woman has no place in the front ranks of anything that is to uplift. It seems that the Mayor and the Councimen have reached a place where the people of this city will have natural gas. Cheap gas is the proposition now before the people of Kansas City. Cheap gas is what they want and cheap gas is what they ought to have This is to the political bosses, you can fool us some time, but not all the time. Away with the leadership of T. C. Unthank as Negro leader of Jackson county. The policy of the Son has always been Republican, and will not leave the party on the account of one or two men. We believe our salvation politically yet lies in the Republican party. Negroes need to pay more attention to the inside. There are some things that face powder and hair straighteners cannot do. Clean thinking tells in the countenance and clean living speaks for itself. Our enterprises fail because we do not begin right. No institution, religious or charitable, can expect to prosper so long as it has immoral women at its head. The foundation must be right and the motives must be good and pure. Negroes are not the first people that have been scourged for unfaithfulness. The Israelites had a hard time of it, before they learned to cast away their idols and seek protection from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and we must make our churches something stronger and holier than mere money exchanges or meeting places to vie with each other in showy clothing and give invitations to parties and dances. We must demand more of those whom we allow to pose as leaders, and especially of those who teach our young. It is high time that our school teachers felt the responsibility of their positions enough to cause them to seek out good families in which to find homes, and so conduct themselves as not as to bring reproach upon no one. What can we expect of children who daily discuss the moral life of their teacher? And now we have another vital campaign issue, thanks to the Democratic managers, who are appealing for money to enable them to elect a Democratic House of Representatives, in order to institute an investigation into the management of the Executive Departments. One would presume from the appeal that such investigation would disclose all the various forms of corruption that could be enumerated, for Chairman Griggs, of the Democratic Congressional Committee, says: "A Democrat can will investigate every department of the Government. With all these honey-combed with 'graft,' the edges of which only have been touched by recent exposures and prosecutions, there will be a revelation of rottenness that will astound the country and create a demand for a Democratic Administration to clean the Government workshop." Such an issue is most important though not a novel one. It was raised in 1884, and after Grover Cleveland was elected with a Democratic House and each Department had a Democratic head, the most thorough investigation was made but with bare results. Not a penny had gone astray, not an official was found to be corrupt, not a single malfeasance was disclosed. In 1893 the Democrats came into full power and control of the Government, and again every nook and corner was searched, and again it was found that under Republican management not a cent had been stolen, and not an official or clerk had been corrupt. THE NEGRO AT THE BAR OF JUS TICE, IN ATLANTA, GA. The alleged outrage which was perpetrated upon the white women in the South is to be regrettably deplored. It goes without saying that every law abiding citizen, black and white is ready to punish any man for such an atrocious crime upon a woman. But the Rising Son would like to ask in this case like many others where white men have simply become bloodthirsty after some negro's blood and would not take the time to hunt down the guilty one, but just like raving maniacs must go out and massacre innocent people. The act which the Negro perpetrated upon the white women, if so, is a great shame, and we say punish them to the full extent of the law. But one wrong and then another wrong never adjusts the thing. The way that the Negro was mangled and murdered upon the streets of Atlanta was not a shame, but it was a disgrace to the flag, the country and the state in which it was committed, and also to civilization. The Rising Son believes that this kind of treatment has a tendency to make some Negroes vicious in certain sections of the country instead of bringing him to a more normal state of civilization. Agitation also is another dangerous thing, as it only gives food to sentiment and urged on by the press makes mobs commit outrageous crimes. The Kansas City Star in its editorial of Monday said the one great way to get rid of the bad nigger was all to goin hands, the good Negro with the white man and help get the bad ones out of the way. While the Son admits this is true, it should be used to work both ways in order to get rid of this mob violences. It seems to us that the Negro who has given to this country his labor and his presents by force and ordained as a citizen should now enjoy the rights of a citizen. The animals of the forest are more lenient in his wild career than some of the white people is to his brethren in black when he thinks that he has been intimate or forced his way upon some white woman. A Negro who desires a white woman need not go out into the highways and force some helpless woman to be submissive to him. We strenuously condemn all such actions upon the part of our race. It is a curse to the race as well as a disgrace. Let every negro resolve to profit thereby by doing what he can to elevate his brother in black from doing this so-called rape or assaults upon white women. Where is the civilization of this country drifting? What big and strong white man will stand conscienciously up with the power of God behind him stem this mighty mob of inhuman people marching against the Negro? PROTECT THE MAN IN UNIFORM. Let the government in Washington beware lest it be stamped by the clamor which is being raised against the Negro soldiers at Brownsville. Several of the soldiers undoubtedly committed offenses against the law. But the aggressors in the first place were not the black soldiers, but the white citizens. A Negro soldier, in uniform, was knocked down by a white man for passing a party of white men and women on the street. So far as learned, the soldier behaved himself. He offered no insult to anybody. He violated no ordinance, municipal or divine. The streets of Brownville, in theory at least, are open to all sorts of people, red, black and white, who conduct themselves with propriety. After the insult and maltreatment to their comrade a party of Negro soldiers raided a saloon, and in the disorder which ensued one or two lives were lost. This is deplorable, and the Negro culprits should be punished. But what about the white offender who started the disorder? Is there to be no punishment for him? Is the black man, even when he wears the United States uniform, to be assailed when he walks the streets peacefully. Race prejudice is strong in Brownville. So it is all over Texas, all over the south, and throughout part Union National Bank KANSAS CITY, MO. As made to the Comptroller of the Currency at the close of business. June 18. 1906. Director—C.

Zea if the north and west. This is unfortunate for both whites and blacks. But when a black man wearing the uniform of the United States is assailed on the street for no other offense except that of having a black skin it is time for the government which he defends to come to his rescue. A long trip through the South in a dirty, ill-ventilated, poorly-equipped "jim-crow" car will convince the most violent opponent of the late Foraker amendment to the rate bill that the defeat of that measure by the hysterical clamor of certain short-sighted individuals around Boston was a racial calamity. A law insisting upon equal accommodations for equal fares in the South would not have fastened the "jim-crow" policy upon the North, and the gang that lobbed against the well-intentioned Foraker amendment ought to have had sense enough to have known it. CAREFULLY THOUGHT OUT. While the fool ponders the wise guy acts. Opportunities are far more powerful than prophets. If you would discourage trusts neither borrow nor lend. Poverty isn't a crime—unless it furnishes one with prison fare. Man can see a sorrow at twice the distance he can see a blessing. It is easier for the landlord to raise the rent than it is for the tenant. Misfortune is no respecter of persons—and neither is fortune, for that matter. When people actually carry out their good intentions the milenium will be in full blast. With the march of civilization come innumerable chances to make a dishonest living. Contentment may be better than wealth, but the most of us are compelled to jog along without either. A New York physician has succeeded in making a mute woman talk. Still some folks imagine that it is impossible for a doctor to outlive his usefulness. POOR RICHARD, JR.'S, SAYINGS. Love is great, good and beautiful, but it hates arithmetic. Vacation weather generally begins after the close of vacations. When a man knows what he does not know he begins to learn. It makes little difference what has been in the empty pocketbook. That low rumbling sound in the distance is caused by the reassembling of the football teams. No mental process is so rapid as the decision of the average man to remain home from church on a rainy Sunday morning.

The approved way of making up all disphanous fabrics, such as lace or mousse-line, for evening gowns is with an interlining of chiffon or mousse-line, with many fluffy little ruffles about the feet, this in turn being mounted over silk with one or more dust ruffles. Smart wraps are of white cloth, with a collar of sable and lining of pale gray satin and endless frills of white accordion-pleated chiffon. The front is draped l'Empire and outlined with exquisitely wrought guipure or passmenterle around the short waist. A feature of these wraps is the large sleeves, edged with fur and made muffy inside with chiffon and lace. Very elegant wraps for afternoon wear have collars of lace instead of fur.

Which way is forward, is a question which is liable to occur to one under certain circumstances in life, and yet is not always easily answered. A person walking in the forest or in a dense fog, may easily mistake backward for forward, and move in the direction of the point whence he started, rather than in the opposite direction. The same difficulty often presents itself in the moral and spiritual life. There may be times when it will be exceedingly difficult to say which way is forward. But we may be helped by remembering that nearer to Christ is always forward, and that the office of the Spirit is to afford illumination in just such circumstances. The Word of Appreciation The Word or Appreciation. Suppose the word of appreciation is never said to you, suppose your life of self-denial is accepted merely as a duty—then what shall you do? It seems like cold comfort, but you must try and be as brave as you can and keep on doing that which is right. The knowing that one is doing the best that one can for those who need help is, after all, a great reward. The knowledge that somebody else is a little warmer, has a little better food, or that a younger brother or sister is being trained to be helpful—this is fine, even if the word of commendation never comes in this world, and with it to feel in your heart that God approves. Unsanitary Graveyard. Sanitary caution is not new, though doubtless it has grown. An eighteenth century rector was burying one of his parishioners in the churchyard, when he was interrupted by a woman who demanded immediate speech with aim. "You must wait until I have finished," said he. "No, sir, I must speak at once." "Well, then, what's the matter?" he inquired. "Why, sir," exclaimed the poor woman. "you are burying a man who died of the small box next my poor husband, who never said it."—N. Y. Tribune. Spread of Contract System The contract system of supply, the London Mall remarks, is being extended to every branch of the public's accessories. A London firm, for $100 a year, received in installments, if desired, will supply one dress suit, one lounge suit, one morning suit, one flannel suit, one frock coat suit, two overcoats, one winter, one summer. A Manchester firm supplies other clothing, hosiery, shirts, gloves, etc., for a fixed quartely sum. Sleeping Sickness Spreading. It is estimated that from 400,000 to 500,000 natives have died in Africa of sleeping sickness in the last ten years. The disease is, moreover, spreading with alarming rapidity, yet nothing is done to check it. The weight of opinion is that no person once infected ever recovers. Despite its name, sleep is not an important symptom, as it occurs only toward the end of the disease in a small number of cases. Explaining Popularity of Toast. The Lancet thinks that the increasing popularity of toast indicates that the public resents the insipidity of modern bread. If bread possessing the peculiarly attractive flavor which characterized it in the days of stone milling were placed on the modern breakfast table the preference for toast would, it thinks, very sensibly diminish.

Co., OW PRICES The Etiquette of the English Royal Household Glimpse of the Manner of Life of the Functionaries of the King and Queen A woman sits in a chair, reading a book, with a piano in the background. Another woman stands near the piano, playing it. The room is decorated with flowers and plants. Singing and Playing to Her Majesty, the Queen. The outside world knows very little of the inner life, of the ordering and working of the vast machinery of the English royal household, which must indeed go with clocklike precision to ensure that absence of confusion which is absolutely imperative. There are several hundred persons on the staff, each one of whom has a clearly defined duty, from which he seldom deviates, for court etiquette, taken on the whole, is precise and formal, and many observances which prevailed in previous generations still hold good, the same things, in fact, being done in the same way. There are several departments appertaining to their majesties' households, the head of each one being responsible to the monarchs for the due performance of duty by every individual under his or her authority, and there are offices which are departments in themselves. Needless to say, each responsible person must possess the highest qualifications for his Singing and Playing to post, and an abundance of tact in his dealing with all persons with whom he comes in contact. The lord chamberlain, as is known by many, is a prominent figure at all state ceremonies, and at their majesties' court he it is who makes the actual presentations—that is, reads out the names of the presentees to the king. But there are many other duties connected with his lordship that the public knows nothing about; for instance, he and his department have the absolute charge of all the furniture and fittings of each palace. Needless to say, this is a very onerous charge and a most accurate system of detail is requisite. Every article within the palaces is entered in a huge volume, one of a series styled "inventories"—at Windsor Castle SIR JOHN M. BROOKS The Earl Gramard, One of the New Lords-in-Waiting. alone there are 50 such—in the pages of which appear particulars of origin, description, and artistic value, together with date of acquisition. Nothing whatever which comes under the category of furniture or fittings is received in or sent out of the royal residences without the signature of the lord chamberlain's deputy. The lord chamberlain also has complete control of all officials coming under the title "above stairs," this including the chaplains and physicians, the singers and musicians as well as a clerical staff. The lord chamberlain holds a permanent post, not going out with his party as do certain others—such, for instance, as the lord steward. --- The master of ceremonies, another great official, really comes very little upon the scene, except at state functions; but it is his special province to introduce to his majesty visiting or newly appointed ambassadors and other persons of great note. Each monarch has a private secretary, whose duty it is to open all correspondence and deal with it, the only exception being such as have the hall-mark of relationship or the "cousinship" of friendly monarchs. Then there is the master of the horse, and it is interesting to note that he takes rank really as the third great officer of the court, and has entire superintendence of the stables. The office of "mistress" is always held by a duchess, and is vacant each time a minister retires. The duties are rendered chiefly on state occasions, when the mistress rides immediately in front of her majesty, walking in close attendance in any procession. She also stands or sits near o Her Majesty, the Queen. the queen at royal courts, state concerts and balls; while for the last century she is often called upon to take part in the royal set of the opening quadrille. The mistress also looks over, passes, and signs the bills for her majesty's wardrobe, and also signs all warrants issued for this department. Of course there are a number of officials of the royal households whose offices are almost sinecures, such as the state pages, gentlemen ushers, pages-of-honor, etc.; these only appear at court ceremonies during the season, or at the opening of parliament. But there are numbers of others who take their turns in very active duties, these being lords-in-waiting grooms-in-waiting, esquerries, maids of honor, and women of the bed-chamber. The lords-in-waiting and the esquerries are in close attendance on the cach side of his majesty's carriage in state processions. These gentlemen may be called upon to help receive distinguished guests at the castle or palace, or receive alone those of lesser standing, and in many instances conduct guests to assigned apartments. A lord-in-waiting would receive a bishop or a nobleman of high degree, while commoners would be received by an equerry. And the degree of rank regulates whether a guest should be met at the station the palace entrance, or merely received in a saloon. The same rule applies to her majesty's household, save that Hon. Charlotte Knollys, woman of the bedchamber, who is always in attendance on the queen, does the major part of the reception of her majesty's lady visitors. Miss Knollys also does much of the queen's correspondence, at any rate that of a personal nature, while some of the other is done by the maids-of-honor, who also wait upon the queen. These young ladies have to undergo very special training to fit them for their posts. They must be fluent linguists, accomplished musicians (a part of their duty being to sing and play to her majesty), good elocutionists (as they are often requested to read aloud), expert horsewomen, and clever drivers, and must have a knowledge of a variety of outdoor and indoor accomplishments and games. They are also occasionally deputed to pay visits which the queen cannot pay in person, and they have certain duties with regard to her majesty's purchases. MARY SPENCER WARREN. THE WOMAN'S CORNER ADVICE BY EXPERT. EASY MEANS OF ATTAINING A GRACEFUL FIGURE. Simple Exercise Recommended by a Famous Physical Culturist—Mistakes of Beginners. An English physical culturist has invented some exercises which he calls the empire exercises. He took them to Paris, but he found that the women there did not need them. And now he has sent them to this country. These exercises, gathered together briefly, are these: They are called the empire exercises, and they are for the reduction of the belt line. Only this, and nothing more, unless one is full in the throat, when there are exercises for making the throat smaller. Most people practicing the empire exercises will tighten up the belt. But this is not the way. The belt should be very loose to give the waist muscles full play. The corset should be taken off while one is exercising. The empire exercises are simple enough. Put on something loose and do this: Step forward and sink upon knee. Regain your position and step forward with the other foot and sink upon the other knee. One foot goes forward and the other knee bonds. That is the way to do it. The rule is to keep on until you are pretty well tired out. The English instructor advises moderation. He says amateurs do too much in the beginning, and the result is a serious relapse. They get so tired that they take to the couch, and then there is no more exercise for weeks and months. Maybe the IDEAS FOR THE HOSTESS. Some Novel and Simple Ways to Entertain Guests. A Handkerchief Shower. A Hankerkern Shower. This affair for a prospective bride was arranged in a very clever manner. Twelve intimate friends were invited to luncheon with the request to bring the gift "mouchoir" rolled up into the smallest package possible. Before going to the dining-room the hostess took all the packages and disappeared. When luncheon was announced, with one voice the guests exclaimed "how pretty." Suspended from the chandelier there was an inverted Japanese umbrella, from each rib there was a smaller umbrella and from this hung by ribbons there was a gilded watering can the sprinkler of which had 12 holes with baby ribbons of different colors coming out. At the end of each ribbon there was a tightly rolled package. The effect was lovely. The place cards were miniature "Jap" parasols with the cards tied to the handles. The candle shades were ornamented with these same tiny parasols and small lanetrins filled with candied puffed rice were at each place. The mint sherbert, which was the dessert, had similax twiped around the tall glass with another little umbrella in the top of the glass. Novel Flower Party. At an afternoon party given for 15 or 20 girls, each was requested to come wearing something to indicate a "flower." It certainly was a regular "flower garden of girls" that assembled on the broad flower decked porch. The hostess gave out little hand-painted flower shaped booklets for the guesses to be written in and a prize of a huge bouquet of asters was awarded to the girl who guessed the most and a box of marshmallows to the one having the least correct guesses. Some of the representations were exceedingly clever; a row of pins conspicuously worn on the front of the gown was "rose," several pink bows of huge proportions was "pinks," while a button fastened on with a nail was "bachelor's button;" a girl resplendent in silver stars proudly said she was a whole bouquet of "asters." Space forbids giving any more examples, but it will be readily seen how this idea could be adapted to almost any entertainment. Ice cream was served in individual "flower" molds. Riddles Here is a most ingenious riddle by Bishop Wilberforce which will afford keen amusement arranged as a contest. At the head of the paper write: "I am a singular piece of mechanism, as every one admits;" then write the following questions: 1—I have a carpenter's tool box. 2—Two lids. 3—Two musical instruments. disgusted beginner gives it up forever. The next of the empire exercises consists in bending from side to side. This is hard enough, and most likely a strain upon the muscles. But the enthusiast can take hold of a chair by way of assistance, and not bend too far either way. The idea is to bend the body until it feels supple. The more one bends in moderation the better. The neck must be small if one is going to get the empire figure, and THE FANCY DANCE next winter one must have this figure, even though one does not plan to wear an empire gown. All dresses are to be a little shorter in the waist line, and not a word is heard about the straight front. 4—Ten articles used by a carpenter. 5—Two lofty trees. 6—Two good fish. 7—A number of shell fish. 8—A fine stag. 9—A number of small animals, swift and shy. 10—Two playful animals. 11—A number of weathercocks. 12—Two established measures. 13—Two implements of war. 14—Whips without handles. 15—The steps of a hotel. 16—The sides of a vote. 17—Fine flowers. 18—A fruit. 19—Two scholars. 20—Two places of worship. 21—Ten Spanish noblemen to wait upon me. 22—A way out of difficulty.

Famous Flagship of Perry to be Raised The Niagara Will Be Preserved as a Memorial of the First American Naval Victory Off the West Shore of Put-In-Bay Island, and Scene of the Battle of Lake Erie. For seven years now there has been a growing sentiment for the raising of the Niagara, the famous old flagship of Commodore Perry when he fought with the British fleet in Misery bay, Lake Erie. This sentiment assumed practical form during the last session of congress and that body appropriated $20,000 for the raising of the old ship, under the direction of the secretary of the navy. The ship will be placed in a permanent building of brick and stone on the grounds of the soldiers' and sailors' home at Erie, Pa., as a memorial of the first victory of an American fleet over a foreign foe. The fact that the Niagara lies at the bottom of Misery bay was first called to the attention of the public by Former Representative S. A. Davenport, of Erie, as a result of a conversation in Washington in the spring of 1899. At that time the question of the rehabilitation of other historic ships was being widely discussed, and it was suggested that among other famous ships the old Constitution should be restored. Then some one announced that the Niagara was still intact in the little bay near Erie. The knowledge that Perry's flagship was still in existence came as a surprise to many representatives, who manifested the greatest interest in the project soon after proposed by Mr. Davenport. The events of the next session of congress were Off the West Shore of Put-In-Bay Isla n Erie so closely crowded one upon the other that no opportunity was found for introducing the measure, but the matrer was suggested to Mr. Bates, who succeeded Mr. Davenport, and the result was the law of last session. While the movements of Perry's fleet have been clearly followed in nearly all the histories, it is not generally known how the Niagara came to be in her present position. Soon after his battle Perry was ordered to winter his vessels at Erie, and the Lawrence, which was the first flagship; the Niagara, the Scorpion, the Porcupine, the Tigress and the others were anchored in the little body of water opening into the eastern entrance to Presque Isle, or Misery bay. The Lawrence and the Niagara were refitted the following spring and joined the expedition against Mackinaw. Upon their return to Erie the Lawrence was found to be unseaworthy and was sunk with the Detroit and Queen Charlotte, both captured British ships, in Misery bay. The Lawrence was sunk in the northwestern part of the bay, where the water is quite shallow, and she gradually became the victim of relic hunters, so Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry. that now hardly a vestige of the old vessel remains. For several years the Niagara was used as a receiving ship, but finally becoming too old even for that service she also was sunk in Misery bay; but she lies in the northwestern part of the bay, where the deep water has protected her. The story of the battle is interesting reading. After Perry had built his fleet he waited several weeks before he could bring on an engagement. While waiting in the bay at Sandusky word was received that the British were on their way to give battle to him. Perry at once gave the order to sail, and, hastily gathering his vessels together at the head of the lay, proceeded to the scene of action. At sunrise of September 10 the enemy's ships were sighted from the masthead of the Lawrence. The decks were cleared for action, and Perry, surrounded by his officers, unfurled a blue flag, with the inscription in white letters: "Don't Give Up the Ship." This he told them was to be the signal for action, and he explained that on account of the small guns with which his vessels were manned it would be necessary to fight at close range. There were few preliminaries to the battle. First a bugle on the Detroit was heard, followed by cheers. A second later a puff of smoke came from a porthole, followed by the sullen boom of a cannon, while a shot richocheted along the surface of the water and splashed harmlessly near the prow of the Lawrence. This opened the action. The squadrons were a mile apart. Perry, with every inch of canvas spread, left his consorts far behind. The Detroit fired again—this time from a long gun—and the shot passed through both bulwarks of the Lawrence. Perry did not respond. He was reserving his fire for close action, knowing that his small guns would be ineffective at a distance. The wind was light and he advanced slowly, so that during the ten minutes he was approaching the Detroit his ship was suffering terribly from the raking fire of the long guns. Raked fore and aft, the Lawrence still made a plucky fight. One after another her cannons were dismounted. Her bulwarks were beaten in. The shot passed through her sides like needles through sail cloth. nd, and Scene of the Battle of Lake le. Heavy smoke hung over the decks, which were strewn with dead seamen and slippery with blood. The sails and rigging were hanging in tatters over the sides. The yards were splintered. The rudder was in atoms. Still the wounded fought on. Bleeding and faint, Lieut. Yarnall the second time appealed for officers. "Mine have all been killed," said he. "I have no more to give you," said Perry. This was after an hour and a half fighting. There was but one gun left on the Lawrence and not enough men to man it, and so Perry, an officer and the chaplain served it till a shot dismounted it. At half-past two in the afternoon the Lawrence was entirely disabled, with only 18 of her crew remaining alive. But Perry did not despair. Forest, the second officer, saw the Niagara in the distance. "That brig does not help us," said he; "see how he keeps off." Perry took in the situation at a glance. "I'll fetch him," he cried, and springing into a small boat and wrapping around him the flag bearing the words of Lawrence, he was pulled toward the Niagara. The shot fell all about him, but he reached the ship in safety. As he mounted the deck of the Niagara he looked back and saw the Lawrence drop her colors, while mainly there came to him the cheers of the British seamen. Perry took immediate command of the Niagara, and, without a moment's loss of time, bore away for the British line, again with topsail spread and his signal for close action flying. The breeze had freshened, and the Niagara cut through the waves, splashing the water before its bow. As the vessel approached the Detroit that vessel tried to come about so it could present its starboard broadside to its enemy. The Queen Charlotte was under the British flagship lee, and, as it did not follow the maneuvers with sufficient alertness, the two vessels fouled. At this psychological moment Perry passed under the bows of the Detroit, almost poking his guns upon her deck, and poured into both English ships a broadside of grape and canister. Simultaneously his port guns played into the Prevost, while the American marines' with their muskets cleared the British ships of every living creature above rails. Then, passing adroitly to the leeward of the ships, Perry emptied his starboard broadside into the Queen Charlotte and the Hunter, some of the shots going clear through the former into the Detroit. The small ships of the American fleet now came up, firing into the British vessels and completely disabling them. In a few minutes every English gun was silenced. The Queen Charlotte struck her colors, closely followed by the Detroit, the Hunter and the Lady Prevost, and in seven minutes after Perry broke into the line all the British colors were down. --- When a cheerful, brave, light-hearted woman is suddenly plunged into that perfection of misery, the BLUES, it is a sad picture. It is usually this way: Shg has been feeling "out of sorts" Mrs. Rosa Adams for some time; head has ached and back also; has slept poorly, been quite nervous, and nearly fainted once or twice; head dizzy, and heart beats very fast; then that bearing-down feeling, and during her periods she is exceedingly despondent.

Defiance Starch—Never sticks to the iron—no blotches—no blisters, makes ironing easy and does not injure the goods. Offer Reward for Brigand. The Russian government has offered a reward of 10,000 rubles for the capture, dead or alive, of Murad Kislun, the famous Caucasus brigand. He is said to have killed over 300 Russian soldiers and policemen. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. BEES CLOSED A MINE. Swarmed in Millions and Men Were Unable to Work. There are instances in great number where mining operations were temporarily suspended by a shortage of funds or by water flooding the property, but it remained for Mohawk, a small station along the Southern Pacific, to furnish a new cause which is unique in the history of mining. The company affected owns the Red Cross mines in the Mohawk mountains. Millions of bees, attracted by the water at these mines and forced from their hives in the mountains by the drought, took possession of the water supply, and their numbers were so great that it was found impossible to drive the swarms away. Consequently the mines have been shut down until the rainy season sets in, when it is hoped the bees will return to their mountain homes.—Sacramento Bee.

Every housewife is more or less interested in sandwich fillings. Here are several good ones worth trying Use walnuts, pecans, almonds, or a mixture of the three. The addition of a few black walnuts gives a pliant flavor of which many people are fond. Brown or grahmn bread is nice for these sandwiches. The nuts are chopped quite fine. The bread is cut very thin, and on each slice is laid a lettuce leaf. A teaspoonful of rich mayonnaise dressing is spread over the lettuce, and this is sprinkled thickly with the chopped nuts. The top slice of the sandwich, after being lightly spread with butter, has also a spreading of mayonnaise dressing. Some people like a grating of Parmesan cheese with the nuts, and this can be used or not as desired. The granishing of this dish should be leaves of delicate green lettuce, and set in each a shelled half walnut. The remains of cold fowl and of cold ham or tongue can be used up, the mixture being especially tasty. The meat in equal portions is put through a chopping machine until it is fine enough to be almost paste. Pepper and salt and a very tiny pinch of ground nutmeg are used for seasoning. The mixture should be wet with some strong chicken stock. If no stock is handy it should be well mixed with some good melted butter, sufficient to make it soft enough to spread easily. White bread, lightly buttered, is used for these sandwiches which are cut in squares or diamond shapes. Use the remains of cooked poultry, game or shellfish, cutting them into small, neat pieces. Lay the meat on thin slices of buttered toast. Spread with a thick sauce. For poultry or fish mayonnaise is preferable, while for game a thick, white sauce is best. Garnish the tops of the sandwiches with white of egg and pickles chopped fine. GIFTS FOR THE BABY. Dainty Trinkets Designed for the Household Tyrant. A little ring chain of gold, so fine as to be almost invisible, is made to pass around a tiny wrist and fasten to a finer ring, inside the hand, so securing the ring if it is large enough to slip off easily, which is usually the case with a baby's first ring. Baby armlets made of narrow shirred pink or blue ribbón and trimmed with diminutive bows or lace rosettes look like Lilliputian garters, but are meant to hold up baby sleeves in place of the fancy pins generally used, says the New York Sun. Small powder puff bags, sponge bags, etc., are made in pink or blue silk or lingerie stuff over silk and daintly embroidered with the baby's name and a garland design. The sponge bags have, of course, a thin rubber lining. Lovely little comb, brush and powder sets are shown in white, pink or blue celluloid, painted by hand, and are really more babyish and pretier in the baby basket than costlier sets of enamel, silver or ivory. Padded cloths hangers, covered with pink or blue ribbon and reproductions in minatures of the pretty coat and bodice hangers made for women, are used for baby's cloaks and dresses that must not be crushed and rumpled. DOMESTIC SCIENCE. Always put the sugar used in a pie in the center of the fruit, not at the top, as this makes the paste sodden. Keep the cake griddle in good condition by the vigorous use of sandpaper occasionally, using very little grease for frying the cakes. Water should never be put on gilt frames. They should be wiped with dry cloth or chamols. This applies to all metal and lacquered goods. A piece of soda the size of a pea in a quart of stewed rhubarb or gooseberries greatly reduces the amount of sugar required without impairing the flavor in the least. Among the artistic materials in use for walls now, none is more charming than the Japanese grass cloth, with its interesting handloom weave and attractive silky gloss. It is, of course, not inexpensive. Roll all pieces of wrapping paper not good enough for further use that are usually thrown into the fire into hard, tight balls. These will help along wonderfully in the kindling basket for the morning's fire. Plenty of soap and cold water and no soda are the secrets of success in washing board floors, and the wood must be scrubbed the way of the grain and not round and round if you want to get the dirt off. Change the water often. You can't expect boards to be a good color if they are rinsed in dirty water. Air All Linens. Often. Linens should be given a thorough airing every now and then—most thorough of all, of course, just after they have come upstairs from the laundress. Plenty of light and air, as well as soap and water, are necessary to keep them in spotless condition, for what occult reason only some one wise in the laws of physics can tell. But the results will tell their own tale—airings are the best preventives of "freckles" and mold and mildew. To Freshen Atmosphere. To freshen the atmosphere of a room that has become somewhat stuffy, place a few drops of oil of lavender in an ornamental bowl half filled with boiling water and open the window. BABY'S TORTURING HUMOR. Ears Looked as If They Would Drop Off—Face Mass of Sores—Cured by Cuticura in Two Weeks for 75c. "I feel it my duty to parents of other poor suffering babies to tell you what Cuticura has done for my little daughter. She broke out all over her body with a humor, and we used everything recommended, but without results. I called in three doctors, they all claimed they could help her, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away; her ears looked as if they would drop off.

In Use For Over 30 Years. BRAVED ANGER OF KING. Lafayette Flaunted Liberty Medal In Face of Louis. Shortly after Lafayette's return to France from his second sojourn in America, he was at Versailles, where the king was about to review a division of troops. Lafayette was asked to join in the review. He was dressed in the American uniform, and was standing by the side of the Prince de Conde, when the king, in his tour of conversation with the officers, came to him, and, after speaking on several topics, asked him some questions about his uniform and the military costume of the United States. The king's attention was attracted by a little medal attached to the general's coat, and he asked what it was. Lafayette replied that it was a symbol which it was the custom of foreign officers in American service to wear, and that it bore a device. "And what is the device upon yours?" asked the king. "My device," said the young general, pointing to his medal, "is a liberty pole standing on a broken crown and scepter." The king smiled, and with some pleasantry upon the republican propensities of a French Marquels in American uniform, turned the conversation into other channels. Conde looked grave, but was silent.—The Sunday Magazine. RIGHT HOME. Doctor Recommends Postum from Personal Test. No one is better able to realize the injurious action of caffeine—the drug in coffee—on the heart, than the doctor. When the doctor himself has been relieved by simply leaving off coffee and using Postum, he can refer with full conviction to his own case. A Mo. physician prescribes Postum for many of his patients because he was benefited by it. He says: "I wish to add my testimony in regard to that excellent preparation—Postum. I have had functional or nervous heart trouble for over 15 years, and part of the time was unable to attend to my business. "I was a moderate user of coffee and did not think drinking it hurt me. But on stopping it and using Postum instead, my heart has got all right, and I ascribe it to the change from coffee to Postum. "I am prescribing it now in cases of sickness, especially when coffee does not agree, or affects the heart, nerves or stomach. "When made right it has a much better flavor than coffee, and is a vital sustainer of the system. I shall continue to recommend it to our people, and I have my own case to refer to."

THE LAXATIVE OF KNOWN QUALITY There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the "IF YOU DON'T GET BACK Y THIS IS WHAT YOUR DRUG OXI HE DOES TH IT WILL CURE O IT IS MADE IN TWO B (Sweet, children like it).

One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrap of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to contribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming constipation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active principles and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy.

Owes His Life to Gentle Hearted Southern Lady Who Used Heroic Methods to Cure Him of Pneumonia. "I've been in tight places in battle," said the G. A. R. man in reminiscent mood, "and manly acquitted myself honorably. But once I was—yes, a hero." "Several youngsters of us, wild with enthusiasm, had gone into the army from college. Such a trifle as consulting our families couldn't stop us. After some rough experiences in camp, there was a skirmish in which several were wounded. These and others of us, sick from exposure, were deposited in an improvised hospital in a small village. "Medical supplies were few, there was only one doctor, and some officers' wives, left at the place, did what they could in nursing. The dangerously wounded got the attention, the rest of us fared anyhow. The doctor had given me about two minutes and rushed away, muttering something about pneumonia. "As I lay on my hard couch, forgotten, despairing, my thoughts were not—according to romantic ideals—'soldierly.' I had enlisted without consulting mother.' Boy as I was, my fear of death was not so much the fear of actual dying as it was that of the naughty child come to grief in his naughtiness and now about to be found out. "A slip of a girl—who I learned later was a colonel's wife—was giving me a drink of water when the doctor dashed by. 'My dear child,' he expostulated, 'you shouldn't be here—what will the colonel say?' 'I don't care,' she retort, spirtedly. 'I've got to help these poo' sick boys—you can go along, doc tab. an' the colonel, too!' "So here was another young thing out of place, threatened with rightful authority! I opened my heart to her —I was going to have pneumonia, no one was doing anything for me, and if I died, what would my mother say! "Poo' boy,' she cooed. "I reckon the doctah hasn't a minute foh yoh. But I'll cure yoh, if you'll jus, do what I say. "I'll do anything,' I rashly promised, and off she went, all important with her charge, returning presently with something in a cloth. "Yoh mus' keep it on two houahs,' she said, impressively. 'It'll hu't awful—but yoh promised.' "She shed tears of pity, as with the help of an old negro, she wrapped me front and back, in a mustard plaster the like of which never was. 'Poo boy, I jus' feel how it hu's, but membah how mad youth mothah would be if yoh didn't get well!" "Did I keep it on I did, for two 'bouahs,' manfully remembering mother or hearing my little nurse's 'You promised.'" "And," concluded the veteran, "I'd give a great deal to see my nurse again. She not only saved my life, but made me a hero for once—perforce! Besides, I've always wanted to find out if the colonel was as mild with her as mother was with me—when she found me." New American Industry. The infant industry of raw silk production gives promise of developing into sturdy and vigorous manhood, even though protective duties and the aid of state or national bounties be denied it. The father of the present movement to establish seri-culture as a permanent and profitable branch of American industry is Louis Borris Magid, a German by birth, an Italian by descent and an American by choice and adoption. At Tallulah Falls, Ga., he owns 3,500 acres of land, on which he has planted more than 200,000 mulberry trees, which are now from three to five years old, and which are designed for the feeding of millions of silk worms. The land will be subdivided into many small farms and leased or sold to persons willing to engage in silk culture. Mr. Magid has proven that silk can be produced as cheaply in America has in any other country and that the $100,000,000 or more expended annually for foreign silks might just as well be kept at home for the benefit of American farmers, workmen and manufacturers. —Technical World. Why He Married Her A country justice of the peace, when upward of 70 years of age, married a girl about 19, and being well aware that he was likely to be rallied on the subject, he resolved to be prepared. Accordingly, when any of his intimate friends called upon him, after the first salutations were passed, he was sure to begin the conversation by saying he believed he could tell them news: "Why," said he, "I have worried my tailor's daughter." If asked why, the old gentleman replied: "Why, the father suited me so well for 40 years past that I thought the daughter might suit me for 40 years to come." American Civility Criticized Owen Owen, a dry goods man, who is in a large way of business in Liverpool, tells in the Draper's Record of what he saw on a recent visit to the United States. He speaks with wonder of the many attractions and convenences American dry goods men furnish for their customers, but remarks: "One hardly ever hears the phrase 'Thank you' in an American shop. Without being actually rude, the assistants seem to lack some of the polish which is expected from them in this country." HAD TO BE CULTIVATED. Friendship With Senator Not Likely to Be Spontaneous. ExSenator Chandler, of New Hampshire, is known as a man of uncompromising adherence to his own ideas of right and wrong, and, like many men of his kind, has little diplomacy, carrying at times a large chip on each shoulder. These qualities made him one of the chief irritants of the upper house of congress during his membership. Senator Hoar's sweetness of temper, however, was not lost on the irrasible Chandler, and no difficulties ever entered into their relations. Hoar, however, was not blind to his colleague's failing. A senator from the middle states, fresh from an encounter with Chandler, sunk into a seat beside Hoar, exclaiming: "By thunder, Hoar, I've had just about enough of that autocrat from New Hampshire. You're about the only man here who can bear him. How do you manage to endure him?" "Well," replied the Massachusetts man, with one of his familiar smiles, "I like Chandler; I really do; but, my friend," and here he lowered his voice, "I must admit that it's an acquired taste." Prof. Metchnicoff Has Simple Scheme to Secure Longevity. It is well known that the average length of human life has been considerably prolonged in the last century owing to a better understanding and better fulfillment of private and public hygienic conditions. Few, however, attain old age, especially that of 100 years or more, and among these very few enjoy all their physical and mental powers. Prof. Metchnicoff, of the Pasteur institute of Paris, shows the causes of decretitude, of premature weakening. He demonstrates that certain cells constituting the human organism become mutinous and devour the nobler cells of the body. He points out a special danger, the intestinal germs and the poisons or toxine elaborated thereby, which penetrate the system and cause the hardening and degeneration of tissues. The professor goes further and says that man can educate and improve these intestinal germs and their toxins. The most practical and easy way is, said he, to drink a beverage which contains the germs of lactic acid fermentation, whose antagonism to the bad germs he has demonstrated. Great Men Fond of Tea. Like all things in the world tea met with opposition at the first thought or knowledge of it. There were some who called it a filthy custom, while others held that it would dwarf the body and destroy personal beauty. Samuel Johnson tells us that he was "a hardened and shameless tea drinker, who for 20 years diluted his meals with only the infusion of the fascinating plant; who with tea amused the evening, with tea solaced the midnight, and with tea welcomed the morning." Thackeray, Shakespeare and Lamb were all devotees to the teacup. "Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things." Sixpences on a Tombstone. Sunday morning 21 owl widows of the parish of St. Bartholomew, West Smithfield, went to the churchyard at the close of the morning service to pick up the sixpipences which are annually deposited on the tombstone of a parishioner who died several centuries ago. The origin of the custom dates back to Saxon times, and it was revived some years ago by Mr. Butterwick. The little graveyard is raised several feet above the level of the pathway, and to mount to this eminence the elderly dames are assisted up a stepladder lodged against the stone coping of the wall—London Daily Chronicle. Long Words or Short. Which shall we prefer in speech and writing? Almost everybody will vote for the short word, and almost everybody will be voting for the best candidate. The short words are usually the strong words. They make up in muscle nad liveliness what they lack in size. And they are readily in the eyes of men who have thoughts that they wish to lodge in other minds. A man who should run out into the street and yell "Conflagration! Conflagration! Conflagration!" when his house was burning would be thought to be making a jest of the affair. And so in all matters where ideas are to be handed out quickly and clearly, the short word has first choice. Fish as Pets. Many boys and girls who cannot keep pets have been able to make pets of wild birds and animals. Even fish in a pond will come to know you if you feed them regularly, and they will follow you round the edge of the pond and at last grow so tame as to take food out of the hand. They will even come into the shallows and allow themselves to be patted. You will find it easiest to make friends of fish of the carp family. Shocked. "A girl out west was driven insane by the sight of a railway train the other day." "Gee! It must have been on time" —Houston Post. In his first success at Drury Lane, Edmund Kean overheard a knot of old stage carpenters discussing vigorously the various players of Hamlet they had seen in their day. "Well," said one, "you may talk of Henderson and Kemble and this new man, but give me Bannister's Hamlet—he was always done 20 minutes sooner than any of 'em."
