CHINESE RULER HELPS BOXERS
Dowager Empress Makes No Effort to Suppress Them.
MURDER AND PILLAGE INCREASE
Eight Americans Are Missing Minister Conger Says Situation Is Critical.
A cable dispatch from Pekin, China, says: The most alarming reports are constantly arriving from the country, especially from Pao Ting Fu. The telegraph wires from Pekin to Pao Ting Fu are cut and all news comes via Tien Tein.
A serious crisis exists at the palace. The ultra-conservative party advocates not taking repressive measures, urging the dowager empress to allow the "boxers" to finish the work of driving the foreigners out of the country, the moderate party, led by Prince Ching, representing the serious danger of provoking a conflict with the powers.
It is impossible to confirm or deny the report, but significant indications of the feeling of the government toward foreigners are contained in the attempt to arrest Lin, Chinese manager of the Pekin syndicate; Kia, chief of the Shan Si commercial bureau, and Fan, a leading banker of Shan Si, on the ground that they were "dangerous characters," but in reality, because they are concerned with new British enterprises. Fortunately all of them were absent and they have not yet been arrested. The British minister, Sir Claud MacDonald, has addressed a note to the tsung fl yamen, demanding why the arrests were ordered.
A Shanghai dispatch says: A number of desperados, disguised as passengers, have pirated the British Yang Tso steamer Kutwo. They committed wholesale robberies, terrorizing the passengers, who were quite unable to offer resistance.
RIGHT AMERICANS MISSING.
Further advices from Tien Tsin state that two more of the party of foreigners who fled from Pao Ting Fu have arrived there. One of them was badly injured. The relief expedition has returned. The mounted Cossacks, who started in pursuit of the refugees, returned Sunday evening. They reported that they had a fight with the "boxers" at Tuli, killing sixteen and wounding many. Lieutenant Blensky, Dr. Hamilton, a trooper and a civilian were wounded.
It is reported from Pao Ting Fau that eight Americans and three members of the China inland mission are missing. The missionaries are in great danger.
It was reported that Pao Ting Fn was attacked Sunday night. Mr. Robinson, of the north China mission—not Mr. Stevenson, of the Church of England mission, as cabled previously, is missing and five native Christians have been murdered at Zang Ching. Mr. Norman, of the same mission, has been captured at Wu Chia Ying, two miles from Yang Ching, and is in great danger. The British cruiser Endymoin and the torpedo boat Hart have arrived at Takn.
CONGER SENDS ADVICE.
The following cablegram has been received at the state department from United States Minister Conger at Pekin:
"Pekiv, June 4.—Outside of Pekin the murders and persecutions by the 'boxers' seem to be on the increase. The Pao Ting Fu railway is temporarily abandoned. Work on the Pekin and Hang Kow line is stopped. All foreigners have fled. The Chinese government seems either unwilling or unable to suppress the trouble. The troops show no energy in attacking the 'boxers.'"
Grave as these advices are, they have not induced the state department to vary the line of action it has laid down. The naval force of the United States near Pekin, now represented by one vessel, the Newark, has not been strengthened, but if occasion should arise Admiral Kempf might be reenforced to almost any extent likely to be needed in three or four days, from the numerous American fleet still at Manila and vicinity.
Owing to the peculiar character of the Chinese coast naval vessels of formidable type are unable to approach the populous provinces in China, and especially are these boxer-afflicted communities inaccessible to naval vessels. The state department does not contemplate the use of the United States troops and it would be difficult to spare any from the force now operating in the Philippines, even it were, found expedient to employ the military arm.
MAY BE AGUINALDO.
Americans Kill Filipino Officer Who Is Thought To Be the
Muchly-Sought Leader.
A special from Vigan, Luzon, via Manila, under date of June 3d, says; Maj. March, with his detachment of the 33d Regiment, overtook what is believed to have Aguinaldo's party on May 19, at La Gat, about 100 miles northeast of Vigan. The Americans killed or wounded an officer supposed to be Aguinaldo, whose body was removed by his followers. Aguinaldo had 100 men. Maj. March 125.
The American commander reached Labeagan, where Aguinaldo had made his headquarters since March 6, on May 7th. Aguinaldo had fled seven hours before, leaving all the beaten trails and traveling through the forest along the beds of streams. Toward evening, May 19th, Major Marchtruck Aguinaldo's onpost about a mile outside of La Cat, killing four of the Filipinos and capturing two. From the latter he learned that Aguinaldo had camped there for the night.
Although exhausted and half starved, Major March's men entered La Gat on the run. They saw the insurgents scattering into the bushes or over the plateau. A thousand yards beyond the town on the mountain side the figures of twenty-five Filipinos, dressed in white, with their leader on a gray horse, were silhouetted against the sunset. The Americans fired a volley and saw the officer drop from his horse. His followers fled, carrying the body.
The Americans on reaching the spot caught the horse, which was richly saddled. Blood from a badly wounded man was on the animal and on the ground. The saddlebags contained Aguinaldo's diary and some private papers, including proclamations. One of these was addressed "To the civilized nation." It protests against the American occupation of the Philippines. There was also found copies of Senator Beveridge's speech translated into Spanish and entitled "The Death Knell of the Filipino People."

TEXAS FUEDISTS DIE.
Clans Shoot Out Quarrels In the Public Square at San Augustine.
Three prominent men gave up their live in a shooting affray at the court house in San Augustine, Texas, Monday. They were Felix Roberts, correspondent of The Galveston News; Sid Roberts and Sheriff Noel Roberts. A few weeks ago Sheriff George Wall was shot to death by Curd Borders, as the result of an old feud. Wall's nephew, Noel Roberts, was appointed sheriff. Last Saturday the second life was taken in the quarrel, when Engene Wall, son of the murdered sheriff, killed Benjamin Brooks, a member of the opposing faction.
Monday the contending factions met in San Augustine with the result as above stated. More trouble is feared, and telegrams have been sent to Governor Sayers requesting him to call out the militia.
A VOLUNTARY PRISONER.
Convict Surrenders In Order to Plead His Case Before Commissioners.
Julius Bone, the young convict who escaped from the Dade county, Ga., convict camp, May 29th, is in jail in Atlanta.
The apprehension of young Bone is not due to the skill of the detectives nor the vigilance of the police. He is a voluntary prisoner.
He visited Atlanta Friday morning for the purpose, as he says, of personally going before the state pardon board to tell the prison commission that he is the victim of a judicial error. This, he asserts, was the only motive of his escape from the stockade.
TO BLUE AND GRAY
Shaft Commemorating Antietam Presented to Government.
President and Cabinet Officers, Members of Congress and Others of Prominence Take Part In Excises.
A special from Hagerstown, Md., says: Another link in the chain which binds together the once warring factions of the north and south was forged Wednesday by the dedication of a monument erected to the memory of the men who wore the gray as well as those who wore the blue, and who died in mortal combat on the bloody field of Antietam.
This event, which is possibly without a parallel in the history of the world, was graced by the presence of the president of the United States, accompanied by many members of his cabinet; a score or more of United States senators, as many members of the house, the governor of Maryland and prominent men of the states. There were present hundreds of veterans who fought for the "dost cause" and thousands who fought for the side that proved victorious. Side by side they stood with uncovered heads throughout the ceremony. Colonel Benjamin F. Taylor, as president of the Antietam Battlefield Commission of Maryland, then presented the monument to the national government and Elihu Root, secretary of war, in a brief address accepted if on behalf of the United States.
Then followed short addresses, mainly of a reminiscent character, by Generals John B. Brooke, James Longstreet, Orlando B. Wilcox, J. E. Duryea, Senators Foraker, Butrows and Daniel and others who were prominent on the opposing sides in the great struggle. These were followed in turn by Representative George B. McClellan, of New York, and other members of both houses of congress. The band played "Hail to the Chief" and General Douglas introduced President McKinley, who delivered the address of the day. The president said in part:
"Mr. Chairman and My Fellow Citizens—I appear only for a moment that I may make acknowledgment for your courteous greeting and express in a single word my sincerely approval of this occasion for which we have assembled today.
"In this presence and on this memorable field I am glad to meet the followers of Lee, Jackson, Longstreet and Johnston with the followers of Grant and McClelland and Sherman and Sheridan, greeting each other not with arms in their hands or malice in their souls, but with affection and respect for each other in their hearts. (Applause.)
"Standing here today one reflection only has crowned my mind—the difference between the sections and that of thirty-eight years ago. Then the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray greeted each other with shot and shell and visited death upon their respective ranks. We meet after all, these intervening years with but one sentiment—that of loyalty to the government of the United States, love for our flag and free institutions, and determined men of the north and men of the south to make any sacrifice for the honor and perpetuity of the American nation. (Great Applause.)
"My fellow-citizens, I am glad, also, of the famous meeting between Grant and Lee at Appomattox. I am glad we were together, aren't you?" (cries of 'yes, yes')—"glad that the union was saved by the honorable terms made between Grant and Lee, under the famous apple tree, and there is one glorious fact that must be always gratifying to us—the American soldiers never surrendered but to Americans. (Applause.)"
"The followers of the Confederate generals, with the followers of the federal generals, fought side by side in Cuba, in Porto Rico and in the Philippines, and in those far-off islands are standing together today fighting and dying for the flag they love, the flag that represents more than any other banner in the world, the best hopes and aspirations of mankind." (Great and long continued applause.)
A "PEACE" RESOLUTION
Introduced In the Senate By Mr. Mason,
of Illinois.
A Washington dispatch says: Senator Mason introduced the following
resolution Monday:
"The United States hereby expresses the hope that the war in
South Africa may cease at an early day upon terms of fairness to both
England and the Transvaal."
Boer Peace Envoys At Cleveland.
The Boor envoys and their party received a number of callers at Cleveland, O., Monday morning. At 1:30 p.m. they gave a reception, several hundred people attending.
VETERANS IN PARADE
Old Soldiers at Last Given Chance For an "Outing."
Exercises Commemorating Jefferson Davis' Birthday Was Closing Event-of Confederate Reunion.
The last exercises connected with the tenth annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans occurred at Louisville Sunday when the ninety-second anniversary of the birth of Jefferson Davis was observed at Reunion hall, with services in memory of Mr. Davis, Winnie Davis, the "Daughter of the Confederacy," and the Confederate dead.
Although thousands of the Confederate reunion visitors had left the city, 5,000 persons attended the exercises. They were largely of a religious character, but nevertheless there was applause at times from the audience. General Stephen D. Lee, who presided, suggested that there be no demonstrations. The Rev. J. William Jones of Virginia, who delivered the sermon of the occasion, earnestly made the same suggestion, and a few minutes later caused not only loud applause, but one cheer, by relating a well known incident of Scottsylvania.
Mrs. Hayes, the daughter of Jefferson Davis, and her daughter, Miss Varina Hayes, were on the platform, but as the services were concluding, had to hasten to a railroad station to catch a train. After they had left General Stephen D. Lee held up to the sight of the audience a battleflag bearing the same crepe it bore when it waved over the grave of Winnie Davis, who had always heretotore attended the reunions of the Confederate veterans. General Gordon had been expected to preside and, also to address the audience, but he was called away from Louisville and his place was taken by General Stephen D. Lee.
OLD VETS PARADED.
Although the reunion proper had adjourned, the veterans who had not left the city paraded the streets of Louisville Saturday. There was no formal parade, although about 5,000 veterans were in line, and fifteen musical organizations made the air ring with "Dixie." Every band in line played "Dixie," and the veterans yelled themselves hoarse. "Dixie" was the order of the day.
The big parade had been called off, but when the sun broke through the dismal cloudiness of the week the old fellows could not resist the temptation and fell into line, marching through the principal streets of the city.
OLD OFFICERS RE-ELECTED.
While the exercises of the reunion were in progress all the officers of the United Confederate Veterans were reelected by acclamation. The election was put in record time, the whole thing taking less than one minute. The list of officers is as follows:
General John B. Gordon, general commanding.
Lieutenant General Wade Hampton, Army of Northern Virginia department.
Lieutenant General S. D. Lee, commanding army of Tennessee department.
Lieutenant General W. L. Cabell, commanding Trans-Mississippi department.
The reunion was one of the most successful from a standpoint of business ever held. The work was done in a manner entirely satisfactory, and the demonstrations made cause the officers to believe that any feeling of unkindness that had existed toward the foe of the sixties has been wiped out.
Deficiency Bill Passes.
The last of the appropriation bills, the general deficiency, was passed in the senate Saturday, as was also the emergency river and harbor bill providing for numerous surveys and for certain other public works.
Mrs. Gladstone Slowly Dying.
It is announced in London that Mrs. Gladstone is in a semi-conscious condition and that her strength is declining steadily.
STEPHEN CRANE DEAD.
Drilliant Young American Novelist Passes Away In Europe.
Stephen Crane, the American author and war correspondent, died at Badenweiler, Germany, Tuesday, aged thirty years.
The death of Crane was not a surprise, as his condition had been extremely unfavorable for some weeks.
The lamented author of "The Red Badge of Courage" was as much admired in England as in America and Baden mourns his passing. Crane was a native of New York state. His rise in letters was rapid to a degree, as his first short articles brought him at once into notice.
Outrage indicates That Chinese "Boxers"
Ar Unheld By Government.
A cable dispatch from Pekin, China, states that Mr. Norman, a missionary of the society for the propagation of the gospel was cruelly murdered at Yung Chingon June 2d. The viceroy of Pe Chi Lihas officially notified the British minister. The outrage is undoubtedly due to the complicity of the Chinese government in the disturbances caused by the boxers. A secret olicit issued two days ago forbade the soldiers to fire upon the boxers. The soldiers who were killed at Huang Tsun offered no resistance and were simply guarding the railway.
It is indisputable that the chief supporters of the boxes include Prince Tuan, the father, sad Hsu Tung, the guardian of the heir apparent, as well as Tung Fun Siang, the general commanding the hordes of Kan Su soldiers who have long menaced the safety of the foreigners in Pe Chi Li.
HANNA DENOUNCES PETTIGREW.
Senator Bacon of Georgia Makes a Sensational Speech.
Senator Bacon of Georgia, in a sensational speech in the senate Tuesday precipitated the liveliest row of the session.
"The most remarkable statement ever made on the floor of this senate," said he, "was when a senator made the statement that the Cramps of Philadelphia contributed $400,000 to the Republican campaign fund in 1896, with the understanding that the firm should be given contracts in building ships to amply repay the contribution and leave them a handsome fortune besides.
"That statement was made in the presence of the chairman of the Republican national committee, and he did not open his mouth, to challenge it. A direct charge of corruption in the very face of the manager of that campaign without a resentment." Senator Hanna heard the Georgian reiterate the charge of Senator Pottigrew, and this led to the most scathing denunciation of a man ever heard in the chamber. It was poured upon Pottigrew by Hanna.
FIFTY PER CENT DIVIDEND
Declared By Southern Mutual Insurance Company at Athens, Ga.
At the annual convention of the policy holders of the Southern Mutual Insurance Company held Tuesday at the company's office at Athens, Ga., a dividend of 50 per cent declared by the directors for the fiscal year ending April 30th, 1900, was affirmed by the convention.
The fifty-second annual report showed premiums for the year of $267,703.17, while the losses were $114,823.83. The losses for the past year were greater than for many years, principally on account of the two large fires in Augusta.
The dividend of 50 per cent means the return to the policy holders of over $132,000, which was the profit from premiums and interest receipts.
PROSPECTORS ASSASSINATED.
Two Prominent Frenchmen Murdered and Robbed By Mexicans.
Owing to the active service of the Federal government the mysterious murder of two French gentlemen traveling in the loneliest part of the state of Guerrero, Mexico, has been cleared up.
Mm. Courmont and Depin, cultivated Frenchmen, went together into the state of Guerrero to look for investments and took with them considerable cash. On the banks of the Balsas river they were killed and it was given out that they met their deaths in a fight with boatmen:
It now develops that the unfortunate men were assassinated as the result of a deliberately laid plot to obfain possession of their money.
JURIES-REDEEM THEMSELVES.
Ten Convictions a Day In Circuit Court at Chattanooga.
A Chattanooga dispatch says: Juries in the circuit court Tuesday reversed their record of a few days ago, when they acquitted everybody charged with a crime. Every case tried during the day resulted in a conviction. Ten cases were heard and a total of forty-one years in the penitentiary was the aggregate of the verdicts given. The parties were negroes, and the charges were burglary, larceny and highway robbery!
WHEELEB A BRIGADIE2.
Nomination Made By McKinley Is Con-
firmed By the Senate.
A Washington special says: The senate Tuesday night confirmed the nomination of General Wheeler, of Alabama, to be a brigadier general.
- Sale of Cocaina Must Stop.
The Chattanooga city council has passed an ordinance prohibiting the sale of cocaine and all poisonous drugs in the city limits except on physicians' prescriptions. The penalty is a large fine to be imposed by the city recorder.
EASY VICTORY FOR ROBERTS
Johannesburg Occupied By British Without Trouble.
BOER OFFICIALS NOT OUSTED
English Troops Were Escorted Into the City and Flag Holsted With Ceremonials.
A cablegram was received in London Saturday from Lord Roberts dated Johannesburg May 31st; but which was not dispatched from there until 8:30 a.m. of June 1st, which says: 'The occupation of Johannesburg passed off quite satisfactorily, thanks to the excellent arrangements made by Dr. Kraus, the Transvaal commandant here, and order prevailed throughout the town.'
"Dr. Kraus met me on my entrance to Johannesburg and rode by my side to the government offices, where he introduced me to the heads of several departments, all of whom acceded to my request that they would continue to carry on their respective duties until they could be relieved of them.
"Johannesburg is very empty, but a good crowd of people assembled in the main square by the time the British flag was being hoisted. A royal salute was fired and three cheers for the queen were given.
"At the end of the ceremonies the Seventh and Eleventh divisions marched past with the naval brigade, the heavy artillery and two brigade divisions of the royal field artillery.
"General Ian Hamilton's column and the cavalry division and mounted infantry were too far away to take part in the ceremony. The troops looked very workmanlike and evidently took keen interest in the proceedings." According to, delayed dispatches reaching Pretoria, Johannesburg was formally handed over to the British at 11 o'clock on the morning of May 51st, in an orderly manner. Lord Roberts was accompanied by a small force. The banks are being guarded. There was a alight engagement outside Johannesburg, and some Australian scouts were shot in street fighting. After this a message was sent to the nearest British general notifying him that the town would not be defended.
Lord Lansdowne, secretary of state for war, has received the following from Lord Roberts, dated Orange Grove, June 2d:
"Johannesburg is quiet. The people are surrendering arms and poncey. Only three Boer guns were left in the fort. The Queenslanders shipped May 30th, a Creset, with eleven wagons of stores and ammunition. Commandant Botha, of Zoutpanberg, his field cornet and one hundred prisoners were taken in the fighting around Johannesburg, some belonging to the foreign contingents and the Irish brigade. The Thirteenth Yoesmanry were attacked May 29th between Kroosstad and Lindley. There were some casualties."
PRESCH NEAB PRETORIA.
* A London special of June 4 says: There is no direct news from Pretoria of later date than Thursday evening. General French's cavalry were then at Irene, eight miles south of Pretoria, and firing was heard there. Lord Roberts' messages about secondary operations elsewhere and the situation at Johannesburg, dated at Orange Grove, a farm four miles northeast of Johannesburg, show that on Saturday, at 5:10 p. m., he was twenty-five miles from Pretoria.

Let the Negro search himself and
see if he is not the cause of many of
the ills that he is inflicted with.
The man who advises the Negro to fight for certain rights, is a fool and the sooner his blatant mouth is caused to be shut, the better off our people would be.
The present condition of affairs calls for men of conservatism and discretion. These two principles will do more for the Negro than ought else.
THERE are a number of fool-killers in the north who are continually giving free advice to our people of the south. In certain respects they are no better off than the people of the south. Let them first make needed improvements then those of us in the south will listen more attentively to their advice.
THE death of Mr. William G. Cann which occurred last week in Philadelphia, caused many sadden hearts in this city. Mr. Cann was one of our citizens who was thoroughly identified with and interested in that which would develop the city most and has in many ways showed his friendliness to our people. Where right and justice were concerned, he was always found on that side. We can only ill afford to lose such citizens.
The last week's issue of the Georgia Baptist contained a short article clipped from the Washington Bee, bearing on the recent tragedy that occurred in Augusta. Because of this clipping a number of a certain class of citizens of Augusta took offense and held an indignation meeting. At this meeting the editor of the Georgia Baptist, Rev. W. J. White, was denounced, and an organized movement was made to visit him and cause his retraction. Another part of them even wanted to demolish his office. For protection he had to be cared for by the city officials.
This entire affair is to be deplored. Dr. White is among our oldest and most conservative citizens. In all of the trying events that have occurred in the state, his course has always been a conciliatory one; he has ever advocated moderation. It was not necessary for a mob to have visited him or to have organized to cause him to retract anything that was offensive. His regard for the good feeling of the races and love for law and order would have prompted him upon the least intimation from any citizen to undo any wrong that was committed.
The white men who congregated in a mob to do him violence, or to destroy his property showed a lawless tendency, and should have been dispersed by the police authorities. We are thankful though, that there were cool and thoughtful ones among them that caused them to act more moderately. The feeling at this writing is better, and there is no indication of further trouble.
Exchange Notes.
There is no wholesome and sensible minister who does not wish to have the good will of every class of his congregation, but he especially covets the respect and confidence of the young men. This is not because they are wiser than their elders, not because they are more spiritual, but because they are unconventional and sincere to the last degree.—Ian Maclaren, in the June Ladies Home Journal.
A newspaper cannot be published on "hot air," as some people seem to think who take them and forget or refuse to pay their subscription. They imagine that there are no financial obligations the publisher is in honor bound to meet every week, which he owes his printer, his paper house, the post office department etc, to say nothing of the duty he owes his family and creditors.—Kansas City Observer.
If the church treated her ministers generously in the matter of holidays she would reap all the gain. For every new idea which comes to the minister's mind, and every new book he reads, and every new sight he sees, and every new gallery he visits during his holidays pass into his words and into his life, and the thoughtfulness and generosity of congregations would come back to their own souls with usury of reward.—Ian Maclaren in the June Ladies Home Journal.
There was a strange scene in Batimore recently when a young colo
ed lawyer stood before a woman and a white jury to defend him from the penitentiary a white man who not so many years ago held the colored lawyer's mother as his slave. Verily time brings its revenges. An exchange commenting on the incident says:
"Lawyer Lewis of Baltimore, who so ably defended, the ex-slave master of his mother in the courts of that city, last week delivered one of the most eloquent charges to a jury ever heard at any bar. An ex-slave defending his ex-master is as pathetic as it is remarkable. The charge against the accused was forgery. He was acquitted. The Baltimore American favors this instance with very agreeable comments.—Conservoir.
The average so-called Negroleader lives the Lord knows how. He is two-fifths mouth and three fifths wind; he clamors for office when he should be working the county road. He tries to practice law when he ought to be splitting store wood; he tries to preach when he would be better clearing knob land. He attends social entertainments five times a week and take a bath once.
He talks politics while his wife is breaking her back over the wash tub. He is so absolutely afraid of hard work that he wears himself out dodging employment. He spends dollars on excursions in summer and lets the city buy bread for his children in winter. he would rather stand on the corner all day discussing a subject he knows nothing about than to work an hour for a square meal. He would rather walk two miles to a political speaking than ride one to get a job. But still with all these trilling exceptions the average Negro leader is alright—In his own estimation—Lexington Standard.
"We's Risin."
This is one of the many fables sung into accepted truth by the poetic license of a faithful bard. Not many, many years ago in a city not by any sea, but hard in the fastness of our Georgia red hills, there stood at the door of a missionary school an urchin knocking at the door of this temple of knowledge. The goodly yankee instructress swung wide the doors and the urchin with "the open mouth of ignorant wonder" entered, and after stumping his toes two or three times on an even floor—a feat only performed by one embarrassed—was seated and enrolled.
Now this was a yankee school for the new made ebon hued "southern yankees," and the good ladies who taught there were anxious always for the world to know of their good works. One bright beautiful morning-only as our southern morninge can be the school was honored with a visit from that great warrior, bhilanthropist, the battle scared veteran of a hundred fights of the civil war, General O. O. Howard. As the general was invited to speak, the goodly Miss Fitch took her seat bedind the pupils, who sat in rows on benches. It happened that Miss Fitch was sitting just behind the urchin who stumped his toe on the even floor, that we first spoke of.
When General Howard had finished a most interesting talk, he asked of the pupils what message he should carry for them to their friends in the north. There was a long silence and the failure of a message to give the general was irritating and embarrass to the teachers. Again, the general asked for a message, and good Miss Fitch, not to be outdone, whispered to the urchin in front, "Get up and say, we are rising." The picaninny started to rise but faltered. Again General Howard asked for a message. Miss Fitch this time pulled the full part of the urchin's pants and said; "Richard if you don't get ub and tell the gentleman 'we are. rising,' I shall whip you at the school of school." Quaking with fear, with chattering teeth and tremblous knees and with a memory of the quality of Miss Fitch's strap, Richard bobs up and in attempting to say what Miss Fitch had told him, exclaims "We's risin," The general caught the idea, but didn't see the declaimer. He went north, repeated the incident and John Greenleaf Whittier immoralized it in his stituring poem, "We are rising," We have given for the first time the true account of the history of what the poem "itself tells not. We are moved to give the real facts since the Barbara Freitchie and Sheridan's Winchester ride discoverer. The true history places all the incidents as really no incidents; occurrences that never occurred. The Georgia professor who says he was this toe stump and declaiming urchin, above referred to, will take the dry grins at this statement of fact, but the time to corrector errors is while those who know the truth are in life and not have posterity imposed upon.

The picnic by Electa Chapter at Lincoln Park on Tuesday was well patronized.
We learn through Bro. Geo. F. Thomas of Hawkinsville that two deserving young men, Prof. J. A. Nelson and Mr. William Dingle, became full pledged masons of St. Matthews lodge.
The members of the various lodges are requested to meet at the Lodge Room, at 6 o'clock Sunday June 24th, for the purpose of going in a body to Beth-Eden Baptist Church, Rev. Alex. Ellis, pastor, where a sermon will be preached in celebration of St. John's Day. It is hoped that the brethren will turn out in full.
It is anything but amusing to listen to men who know nothing of the Masonic Fraternity when expressing themselves in regard to its merits or demerits. The ignorant friend of the Order is really more apt to disgust with his silly twaddle than one who has formed an unfavorable opinion, and has fallen into the very common habit of talking about something of which he has very little, if any, knowledge. It is entirely proper to investigate and form opinions after such investigation, but the investigation must not be too much in the nature of a grand jury inquest, which never establishes guilt and is one of the anomalies of our criminal law. To investigate Freemasonry one must, first of all, form a favorable opinion of the Order. This becomes necessary to an honest man, before he can consciously sign a petition, which means that an honest man can be made a mason while holding to the opinion that Masonry is inimical to religion, good government or the family relation. The idea prevalent among ignorant persons that Masons are always ready to assist each other in business, or that Freemasonry is a very rich Order, is not only absurd, but is very annoying to members who really know its precepts and have sufficient acumen to understand that it cannot be managed as a business institution; that it does not teach social equality or socialism, but rather puts each member on his individuality; demanding that he shall be no drone, but that he shall make the best possible use of the powers which God has given, and take the place in the temple for which he is best fitted. There is but one perfect temple; its walls are not of stone and cement; its beams are not of flesh and blood; its ornaments are not the product of human skill. Rameses, Diana and Solomon built well, from a material standpoint, but desolation and ruin followed. We build speculatively, necessarily of imperfect material, but the rejected stone of to-day may be accepted to-morrow, the rough ashlar of the quarry may become the perfect ashlar in the house not made with hands. Masonry demands that we fit ourselves for a place in God's temple.—Los Angeles Freemason.
In Memoriam
Of George Stephen Johnson, of St. Philip's A. M. E. Sunday School, who died April 21, 1900, age, 5 years and 4 mos.
"In the midst of life we are always in death. The sad thought comes to us we all must part; but thanks be to God, we can meet again! In that home, George Stephen Johnson, a lovely boy, is absent; his little chair is vacant. How the sad tears trickle down the cheeks of that poor father and mother as they look at that chair!
As a member of the Sunday school George was faithful, which is more than many of us can say. Here he received his knowlede of truth, life, and happiness. He has left us to enjoy evermore. How sad to think that buds must die before they blossom and ripen into the golden fruit of youthfulness! but God knows best and doeth all things well.
We bow in humble submission to His will and exclaim "The Lord gave and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord. Let us learn by his little life, which was worthy of enulation, a good lesson. Let us try to follow his good acts and cherish his sweet disposition, and so live that when it comes ours to die we too can enjoy a happy home beyond. May he sleep on and God grant his father, mother and sister, grace sufficient to meet him in the sweet bye and bye, where no sickness, sorrow, pain or death, will ever separate us again."

Earnest.
‘HORE AMERICANS ARE LANDED
Adratrat Kempf and Minister Con-
" ger Both Reiterate tiie Seri-
|. Susness of Situation.
‘The secretary of ihe navy has re-
ceived‘the following cable from Ad-
niral Kempf, commanding the Umted
States steamship Newark, lying ut the
Taku forts at the mouth of Pei Mo
siver, dated Taku, China, Juno 5:
‘Engagement has commenced.
Have landed force of fifty sea-
men more—battalion of marives.
“Kewrr.”
_ The cipher mesrage is not entirely
legible, and it is supposed at the navy
department the udmiral means that ho
has landed fifty seamen to reinforce
the band of marines already ashore.
~ Minister Conger, at Pekin, cabled
.Wednesday that the situation was
‘worse at Pekin, and this statement,
taken in connection with Admiral
Kemp's alarming cablegram, decided
the state department to strengthen the
naval forces nearest the scene of trou-
“ble. Accordingly a cablegram was
sent to Admiral Remey, at Manila, di-
recting him to dispatch at once to Ad-
iral Kempf's commend the gunboat
lens, or if that cratt is uot at Ma-
ia and ready for immediate service,
n some craft of correspondingly
ht draft and power.
Dispatches from Shanghai state that
ithe soldiers dispatched to attack the
Boxers have fought en engagement
quite closo io Pekiu. Many were
illed on both sides. .
In consequence of the representa-
fore of Japanese tho Janding of o
large Russian force to Taku is alleged
to have been stopped.
It is believed in Shanghai that
Fshould Ruesis perrist in ending a
prepondering military force to the
front a collision with Japan will inev-
itably result. .
Alarming reports are current of tho
\urried completion of the mobilization
{ the Japanese fleet,
News from Tien Tsin is to the
ét that the Chinese servants of a
jor cogineer, who left Pao Ting
two days after the Belgiaus, saw
five foreign and two Chinese dead bod-
ies in the grand canal, one being the
body of a woman. A boxer placard
threatens the exfermination of he for-
eigners in Tien Tsin on June 10th.
Violent dissensions are reported to
exist between the Chinese commander-
in-ehief of the forces, Jung In, ond
Prince Ching Tuan, who, in accord-
ance with the wishes of the dowager
empress, is strongly supporting the
cause of the boxers,
The mobs who murdered the Eng-
lish missionaries, Robinson and Nor-
man, mutilated and disemboweled the
bodies.
“BOXERS” ARE SEMI-DANDARIANS.
More or Jess uncertainty and igno-
ranco exists in the public mind relative
to the Chinese secret socicty, known as
the “boxers,” whoso preseut activity
threatens ta precipitate the long an-
ticipated partition of the celestial em-
pire. According to The London
Daily Mail the Chinese Society of
Borers constitutes in reality a great
clan of murderers, estimated tv con-
tain in its rarike over 11,000,000 semi-
barbarians, well organized, well arm-
ed, and as savage in their fanaticism
as the Soudan dervishes.
The society was originally formed
with the beneficent intention of pro-
tecting honest men in China from
bandits. It was called To Tao Hwri,
which means “The Society of the
Great Sword,” a title which seems to
have been changed at a comparatively
recent date to the more familiar name
which so often appears in our news-
papers just now. When avd where
the clan or@rinated is not certain.

Further Particulars---Boer
Army [ntact.
See eee See
Vatil the situation in the neighbor.
hood of Pretoria is enlightened the
officials in London, as well as others,
will find difficulty in prognosticating
Lord Roberts’ immediate program,
At appears evident -that the Boer
commander-in-chief, General Botha,
with all his gus, withdrew in good
order, probably ‘along tho Delagos
bey railroad with the view of joining
President Kruger.
So the Transvaal forces remain
practically intact with President Kru-
ger; President Steyn and General
Botha and Secretary of State Reitz all
safe and iu u position to continue the
direction of affairs, The most opti:
mistic see in the fact thet President
Krnger’s wife aud General Botha’s
wife wero left at Pretoria, au indica-
tion that the presideut does not count
on a long resistauce, in any caso it
will probably take Lord Roberts at
least a week to organize a campaign of
pursuit,
Wedresday Lord Roberts telegraph-
ed to tho war office as follows:
Pretoria, June 5, 5:33 p, m,—The
occupation of the town passed off most
satisfactorily, and the British flag is
uow hoisted on top of the government
offices. Tho troops met with a mach
more enthnsiastic reception than I
anticipated. The Third battalion of
the Grenadier Guards lived the equare
when the march past took place.
Owing to their having been on duty
atzome distaneg around tho town, very
few cavalry and infantry were able to
take part in the ceremony.
Several of our officers who had been
prisoners were among the onlookers.
FIONTING NEAR PRETORIA,
Some dispatches are to hand which
feft Pretoria Monday while the fight-
ing was going on outside the city.
They come by way of Lourenzo Ma¥-
ques. One of them says:
“Toward the end of the dsy, when
the British naval gans were shelling
the southern forts, a number of,pro-
jectiles burst, damagivg the snbarb.
‘All day armed burghers have been
leaving Protorie, going east. The
greater part of the railway rolling
stock bas been removed.
“General Botha was fighting an
essentially rear guard action, his ob-
ject being not to defend Pretoria but
to delay Lord Roberts natil the rail-
way awitch had been cleared and the
main part of the Boer army had started
to withdraw, The British as ap-
pears to have left open to'the Boers
the best line of retreat along tho rail-
way.” a.
CANNON HELD’ HOUSE.
Adjournment Program Was Not Carriea
Out In Gonrequences
A Washington special says: After
everybody had felt assured of adjourn-
ment Wednesday eveniug withont any
trouble the Republicans of the house
got into a wrangle among themeelves
and the result was a recess natil
Thursday at 10 o'clock,
The cause of trouble was the item
intended to take,from’ the coast .and
geodetic survey much of its work and
‘hand it over (0 the navy.
Tho navy people have been palling
hard for this and the senate has boon
with them, but the house, under tho
special leadership of Caunon, chair-
‘man of the appropriations committee,
has made n fight for the const and
geodetic survey, claiming that the
senate provision would kill that branch
of the government.
Cannon attacked the house confer-
ees, charging that they bai not acted
in good faith, ‘This brought on a
general fight with Fost, chairman of
the committee, aud Grosvenor aud
others. There were charges and coun-
ter charges of a highly interesting na-
ture and these brought in tho sharpest
kind of an exchange of personalities.
Finally Cannon succeedeil in doing
something that is very eeldom done,
and that was to bring ‘about the sub-
stitution of a new set of conferees,
CAUGHT ON TRESTLE,
‘Two Children Crushed to Death and An-
other Hadly Injured,
A special from Selma, Ala., says: As
Mrs. Harper, Birdie Suttles, a young
Jody and Hugh and Edward Suttles,
small boys, attempted to cross a tres-
tle abont lialf o mile from Lako La-
nier, they ‘were ran down by the
Southern passenger tral from Merid-
ian, Horror stricken, they soreamed
and made an effort to get off the tres-
tle, but too late, the iron monster was
upon them, carrying death, instant
and fearfal, in its wake.
Mrs, Harper hastily jumped from
thetrestlo into the small stream be-
low, and escaped injury. :
Birdie Suttles was struck by the en-
gine, instantly killed and horribly
mangled,
Hagh Sattles was also strack and
instantly killed, his body being man-
gled almost beyond recognition. =

with his life, but onearm was terribly
manglod, and it is s question whether
or not he will recover from the sheck.

FOR A NEGRO PARTY
First Steps Looking to Such an
Organization Ate Taken,
THE LEADERS’MEET IN PHILADELPHIA
Suggestions Fie Beeildend acl Vico I'res-
ident—Bishop Turner Expresses Views:
. Concerning the Movement.
‘Tho Giret steps looking to the organi-
zation of a natioval negro party bave
been taken in Philadelphia, Prpmi-
nent negrocs—bishope, ministers, ed-
itors and Inwyere—at a meeting last
‘Tnesday decided to place a presiden:
tin! ticket in the field with negro cau-
didates, ‘I'Le plaa is to orgauize the
party in every state of the Union
Yand nominato candidates for state and
congressional offices.
Names mentioned for president in-
elude ox-Judge E. J, Walker, of Bos-
ton, with P. B.S. Pinchbsck, ex-lien-
tenant governor of Lonisians, as run-
ning mate; Bishop W. B. Derrick, of
New York, with Professor Debers as
running mate; Bishop Grant, of Illi-
nols, with the Rev. J, P. Sampson as
vice president; Bishop Turner, with
Booker T. Washington, of Alabams,
as vice president, and Bishop Walters,
with TT. Allain, of Louisiana, as
vice prestdent.
“Tho platform,” said H. 0. 0, Ast-
wood after the meeting, ‘rill insist
upon the observance of thé constitu-
tion of the United States, the civil and
political rights of every -citizen with-
out regard to race, color or condition.
The Monroe doctrine and opposition
to monopolies, traéts and rings, and
the duty of the government to control
all public conveyance such as rail-
roads, etc., and all telegraph and tele-
phone operations, ro as not to burden
the peoplo with unnecessary taxa-
tion.”
Bishop H. M. Turner, who was not
present at the meeting, expreases
doubt as to any practical results from
the organization of a negro party if it is
intended to be a political’ party in the
ordinary sense, for the reason that the
negroes compore a small minority of
the voters. Having said this, he
added:
“T am in favor of a national negro
parly if it is intended to secure an ap-
propriation which will enable the ne-
groes to move toa place ‘where they
can be by themselves, I take no stock
in any movement which does not con-
template tho separation of tho races.
This is a white man’s country and
will remain so. ‘The negro has con-
tivually to contend with the opposi-
tion of the low and vicious classes of
the whites. White gentlemen take no
stuck 1u this, and if they give the no-
gro any thonght at all, it is with an
idea of his botterment or his employ-
meat; but for fear of boing called ne-
gro lovers the better class of white
people say little ou the subject.
"In ordar to reach the highest de-
selopmout of which ha is capable the
negro shoulit be by himself, where be
will not occupy a secondary position."*

Candon, dated Jone ith, saya Major
P. C. March's men of the Thirty-third
regiment returned {9 Canday that day
by steamer from Aparri. A majority
of the men aro ready for the hospital.
They aro thin and weak, having trav-
eled 250 miles in tho mountains, dar-
ing which they suffered greatly from
hunger.
Of the fifty horses which started
with the battalion thirteon survived.
The remainder died on the march or
fell into canyons, The battalion prac-
tically collapsed at Plat, thirty miles
from’ Maguegarao, as the result of
fevers and exbaustion.
Eighty-seven of the men were con-
veyed from Plat to Magaegarao in bult
carts, ard those falling on tho way
were carried in litters by the Igorottis
with the colanin.

The city fs to pay the contractor the

the equipment, ineluding power-houses
and generating machinery, which the
elty fs to purchase at the conclnsion of
the lease, at a valuation to be deter:
mined by arbitration, 4
Under this arrangement the city ob-

‘and without burden on the tax-payers,
Teeause the contractor fs to pay the in-

pal, after which the whole rental will
be net profit; while, on tlic concluston
of the lease, the elty can make a new
sue on undoubtedly vastly better
terms, The attractive fentures to the
contractor are equally strong. He Is
saved all expense of finanelug; for the
price patd by the eity for construc

procures his capital on the basis of
the city’s credit as against the rate a

Pablo Picasso
It was the morning of February 5, 1899, and all Manila was girdled with smoke and flame. From the shores of the beautiful bay opposite the Bocano do Vitas at the north, away around in wild sweep across the Pasig and thence to old Fort San Antonio Abad at the southern suburb, long lines of American soldiers were pitted against the opposing forces of the native army, led by Aguinaldo's host and bravest generals.
As early as the middle of December it was only too evident that armed conflict was imminent. All the same, orders required that Agninaldo's officers be received with every courtesy, and the rank and file with kindness. They came and went within our lines at their own free will. Their soldiery, their women and children in swarms would visit the American outposts and claim a share of the ample rations, and profess undying regard for their Amigos Americanos; yet in hundreds of native homes rifles and ammunition were stored to be used when the day of battle came, and some of the convents and many of the churches proved to be veritable arsenals.
And it is about one of these, the big stone church at East Paco, the easternmost suburb of Manila, that there hangs a story not soon to be forgotten by the men of Anderson's Division of the Eighth Corps—a story of heroism and devotion to duty that may well be remembered by the youth of America.
Crossing the Estero de Paco by a massive bridge of stone, the Calle Real—the main street—passed within a few rods of the windows and towers of the church. It was the broad thoroughfares over which went most of the travel, and much of the traffic between Manila and the thronged towns and villages up the Pasig River and around the picturesque Laguna de Bay. It was lined on both sides with houses the lower story of which, at least, was of stone, solidly built to resist the earthquakes sometimes so destructive in this volcanic land, and on its northern side were strung the telegraph wires, two in number, of the signal corps of the army, connecting the outermost blockhouse, Number Eleven, with the field headquarters of the general in command of the First Brigade of the First Division of the American army of occupation, and with those of his superior officers, Major-General Anderson at Division Headquarters in West Paco, and Major-General Otis at the Palace within the walled city of Manila.
With the early dawn of that lovely Sunday there came galloping along the hard-bcaten road a wiry little Filipino pony, ridden by a slender young soldier in brown knaki uniform. From underneath the curling brim of his drab felt campaign hat a pair of clear, dark-brown eyes peered cagely, searchingly along that line of wire and up and down every pole. From the fact that the sentries at the bridge presented arms as the young rider spurred along, and that there was a single silver bar on each dark blue shoulder strap, it was evident that, despite his youth, the young rider was an officer, a first lieutenant, and the device on the collar told further that he was of the signal corps of the volunteer army. He was a handsome fellow, with regular features, dark, wavy brown hair and a face bronzed by tropic suns, but radiant with the health and spirit of youth.
Only a few minutes before, two men of the First Idaho had been shot almost in front of the building where the young signal officer sprang from the saddle to make his report to the adjutant-general.
"Lines all safe as yet, sir," he said, his hand going up in salute, "but the fire is pretty sharp along the road, and the sentries say there's occasional shooting around them. The worst of it is that they can't tell where the bullets come from, now that it is light, and the enemy uses smokeless powder. The Wyoming regiment is in reserve, by General Anderson's order, behind those buildings across the bridge, and they say, too, that they hear shots every little whilo."
An ambulance, driving rapidly, came rattling down the street from the firing line at the eastern skirt of the village. A pale-faced soldier, his arm freshly bandaged, sat beside the driver, and both soldier and driver trembled with wrath and excitement as they drew up in front of the building.
"We were fired at from three of those nipa huts up the road, right there this side of the bend!" said the driver angrily, and then, lowering his voice, "I've got two desperately wounded men inside, too." Then a hospital corps soldier, springing from the step, corroborated the statement.
"I could see them in one shack niming at me," he said, "and the bullets flaw close as—that," and he whaked his hand back over the shoulder, almost shaving his ear.
"The general's over at Battery
For these dear things to eyes that soo
Not common are nor plain;
Beauty to its supreme degree
Lives in their homely grain.
And when God's sweet-toned scrape band
Canion's mystery sings,
It is they are in their common land.
Were made life's common things.
Briley D. Baunders, in St. Louis Republi-
c
Knoll with the guns," was the answer of the chief of staff. "There they go now!" he added, as with a year and shriek the long shell leaped from the brown muzzle and went tearing through space toward the Krupps in the river reductions. Then followed a distant crash—it had burst just above the hostile parapet. "We can't get orders to advance yet, and when we do he wants you to follow us right up with your wire. Communication must be kept by telegraph. It's as much as a man's life is worth to attempt to ride this street, and I hate to send an orderly with a message."
"Can you leave men enough to guard the line?" asked the young signalman, anxiously. "They'll be cutting it in a dozen places otherwise."
"We haven't got 'em!" was the impatient answer. "Sooner or later the order must come to pitch in; then every man will be needed at the front. They are calling for re-enforcements even now at Blockhouse Eleven. The general sent in two California companies, and then rode over to Dyer's battery. You might go to him there, if you like. He'll want to know this, anyhow."
But even as he spoke, up the street at a sharp trot, and followed by a single orderly, came the brigade commander. The crash of musketry at the front, and the choers of the Californians, as they drove in through the rice-fields to the support of their comrades of the First Washington, had deadened the sound of the ponies' hoofs. Silently, but with intense interest, the general listened to the driver's story of the fire from the nipa huts on the skirts of the town, and even before it was more than half-told, excited exclamations among the soldiers called his attention away. Lashing his pony to top speed and bending down on his neck, an orderly came tearing in from the front, running the gauntlet between two rows of native houses from which the sharp, vicious crack of the Mauser, and the heavier report-of the Remington, could be plainly heard.
"Send a platoon to thrash those fellows and burn those huts at once!" was the instat order. "Send a company back toward, Paco Church, Did they fire at you from there?" asked the general, turning suddenly on the signal-officer.
"I think so, sir," was the modest answer. "At least they fired several shots from somewhere close at hand."
"You'll have hard work keeping your wires up to-day, my lad," said the commander, thoughtfully, "and I can't help you very much, either. But all the same, I shall have to rely upon you."
"You may, sir," was the answer, and the old soldier and the young shook hands and parted.
Two hours later came the longed-for order, "Advance!" With crashing volleys and ringing cheers the men of California, Washington and Idaho plunged through the muddy stream at their front, and charged home upon the intrenchments to the south and west of Sauta Ane, and then, wheeling to their left, drove the insurgent force poll-mell to the banks of the Pasig, many of the enemy, indeed, drowning in their frantic efforts to swim to safety on the farther shore.
Meanwhile the extreme right of the brigade, in hot pursuit of the insurgent reserve and rear-guard, drove on eastward along the highway, overwhelming the enemy every time he strove to make a stand, and at last, worn and breathless, halted for the night. On the back of a pasteboard cartridge case their brave leader, Colonel Smith, of the First California, wrote to his commander the brief, soldierly report of their success, and sent it back to Santa Ana by galloping orderly.
"Wire this news at once to General Anderson," was the order, as the brigade commander turned his horse's head up the river road, and spurred away for the extreme front. The wire was in Santa Ana already, so energetic had been the work of the signal corps, but when the operator touched his key a moment later the line was lifeless—dead.
"Wire's cati" said he, briefly, and went leaping down the stone steps in search of his young chief. In another moment the tall lad in brown khaki was lashing his pony back along the corpse-strewn road to Paco. Through a lane of blazing nips huts he tore his way, keenly scanning the newly string wire. Over the scarred. Concordia bridge, where the battle raged so hotly in the early morning, the plucky little racer bounded to the Manila side, and so on down the Calle Real between the smoldering ruins of the native huts, from which had come that treacherous fire in the rear that killed and wounded members of the sacred band who serve under the protection of the Red Cross.
Dense volumes of smoke and flame were pouring from the roof and windows of the great church and convent in Paco Square. "And yet," said the soldiers, huddling in the shelter of the nearest building, "there's a gang of 'em in the stone tower the flames
can't reach, and they are dring at every man who shows a head along the street."
Peering through the murky veil, the young officer could dimly see other crunching forms of blue-shirted soldiers firing upward at the tower window—wasted shots that only flattened hardness on the archway above the hidden heads of the daring occupants, who poured through narrow slits a deadly fire on the roadway. Over at Battery Kuoll Captain Dyer had trained one of his guns to bear on that lofty little fortress, and now and then a shell came screeching over the roofs, and burst with crash and crackle at the tower; and still any attempt on part of officer or man to run the gauntlet along that road was met with the instant crack of a Mauser and the zip of a bullet. It was a lane of death—but duty beckoned on.
Deepite a vigorous balk and protest, the little beast war urged into a trot, and the brave lad with his eyes on those precious wires, rode sturdily on. Another second and he was scorn from the tower, barely two hundred yards away, and then down came the hissing bullets. Like angry wasps they buzzed past his cars, and the brave young heart beat hard and fast, but duty—duty always led him on; and just a block away, under sharp fire every inch of it, he came suddenly upon a soldier of his corps crouching in the shelter of the stone wall at the roadside, and pointing helplessly to where the secured wire hung, limp and useless, from a tall pole close to the abutment of that perilous bridge. One way and one way only could it be repaired. Some one must climb that pole in the very face of those lurking robbs in the tower.
If the smoke hung low it might apothel his aim. If it lifted, and it was lifting now, he could not hope to escape. Yet that wire must be restored, and duty bade him make the thrilling, hazardous effort.
Springing from saddle and crouching at the wall, he made his hurried preparations. From the nervous hand of his subordinate he took the clamps and the few tools necessary, stowed them in the pocket of his blouse, and then, with who knows what thought of home and mother, with who knows what murmured prayer upon his lips, with the eyes of admiring and applauding comrades gazing at him from the safe refuge of the walls, he sprang suddenly to the swaying, pole, and liths and agile, climbed swiftly to the top.
Madly now the Mausers cracked from the bellyfry. Fiercely the Springfields barked their answer as the cheering lads in blu sprang out into the open, and poured rapid volleys to keep down the rebel fire. Clamping the polo with his sinew legs and using both hands dettly, quickly, he drew together and firmly fastened the severed ends.
Then, just as he was about to slide to the ground and out of harm's way, zipli tore a bullet through the other wire, and down, dangling, it fell to the ground.
Inspired by the heroism of his young chief, the soldier below leaped for the wire, and clamboring part way up, passed it to the lad, who, with clinched teeth and firm-set lips, clung to his at the top.
Another minute of desperate peril, and the work was done.
Cheered to the echo by the few soldiers—an officer and perhaps a dozen men—who saw the gallant deed, the brave lad sidel unharmed to the shelter of the wall; and at last the wire hummed with life again, and bore to division headquarters and to an eager nation thousands of miles across the sea the brief, stirring story of sweeping victory from the distant front. And that was the exploit that led not long after to the recommendation that the coveted medal of honor be awarded Lieutenant Charles E. Kilbourne, of the Volunteer Signal Corps, on duty at Manila.

Home Life in Porto Rico
To one unacustomed to tropical conditions, the furnishing of the Porto Rican home would at first sight seem meagre; but it is quite ample. A short residence will demonstrate that nearly 500 years of experience with the unpleasant features of life in the West Indies have been crowned by a survival of the fittest in housefurnishing as in other matters.
Austrian bout-wood furniture, and also wicker-work and willow-ware, constitute the main equipment of the parors and living-rooms. Upholstered furniture is unknown and undersired, little or no attempt being made at decoration except in the matter of embroidery and fine hand-made lacework, with which the 'bedrooms are elaborately supplied. Hundreds of yards of crochet-work are used in the embellishment of a single canopied bed. This work is the chief delight of the Porto Rican housewife.
The walls are for the guest part bare, but here and there a painting of merit may be seen. The sofa pillow is the one great feature of the home; it is everywhere, in every conceivable size, shape and material. Ferns of gigantic size and exquisite formation, as well as broad-spreading palm leaves, are used to testoon the walls and arched doorways. Cut fresh from day to day, they render the cool, cool rooms inviting and attractive. Potted tropical plants in great variety abound within and without the home.—Harper's Bazar.
A Watertight Watch:
A novelty just placed on the English market is a watertight watch which is particularly designed for soldiers and others exposed to hard service. The back is screwed on and the stem-winding apparatus is protected by a screw top. One of these timepieces has for months been running, and keeping perfect, time submerged in a jar of water in a London window.
NEWS AND NOTES FOR WOMEN.
How the crowns of the new hats seem to bulge, even if they are not of the drawn bag pattern. The little girls of ten or twelve years seem to be provided with hats of that description, and very becoming they are to a young fresh face, and the flowing hair of that period of adolescence. The velvet or silk ribbon passes trinly around and under the bulging crown and is tied with a smart bow with plenty of loops and ends. This model is extremely popular especially in the gold and cream colored straws.
Royal Women at Home.
Queen Marguerite of Italy loves to go about incognito, and in this way indulge her great fondness for mountain climbing and bicycle riding. When she travels in the Alps she goes as a commoner, and very few learn her identity. She stops at chalets for the night, sharing the simple food of the Alpine folk, and, as her costume is in the simplest style, she passes for anything but a queen. When she began to ride a bicycle it was her habit to go into the royal park unattended. On one of these solitary wheeling trips she was unceremoniously arrested by a royal guard and conducted, in spite of her protests, before the captain of the force. The guard laughed at her statement of her identity, considering it an evidence of a particularly bold imposition. At headquarters, however, he was told of his blunder by his horror-striken captain, who promptly recognized his royal mistress. Queen Marguerite asked that the offender should not be discharged nor punished, and as he prostrated himself at her feet, she gave him a gold coin at her face, she gave him it, laughingly advising him to study it well, that he might recognize his Queen when he saw her. *Harper's Bazar.*
What Women's Colleges Lack.
"There is no doubt that the average girls' college would be more useful to girls themselves, and to American domestic life in general, if the practical components of a woman's life entered a little more into its curriculum," writes Edward Bok, in the Ladies' Home Journal. "Girls are turned out by our colleges with diplomas telling us how efficient they were in the physiology class, and yet they have absolutely no practical knowledge of their own healthy dressing or hygienic eating. I must confess that in my editorial experience I have come across atrocious chirurgie in letters from college girls than I would have believed possible. Some day our girls' colleges will wake up to the fact that for a girl to be able to write an intelligent letter, properly punctuated, and in a handwriting which does not drive a man clear to profanity, is likely to be more value to her than the gift to glibly decline a Latin verb. It is a better mixture of the practical with the less useful that is needed in the management of girls' colleges. As it is now, the college gives a girl only mental resources. It should go further, and give her also a fund of practical knowledge from which to draw when she becomes a wife, a mother and a homekeeper. That is the field for the woman's colleges—not, by any means, becoming mere practical outfitters, but adding the practical to the mental."
Beauty's Gravest Foe.
Bad temper and worry will trace more wrinkles in one night than hot and cold bathing and massage and complex brushes and creams and lotions can wash out in a year's faithful application. Physicians assert that an immense amount of nerve force is expended in every fit of bad temper; that when one little part of the nervous system gets wrong the face first records it. The eyes begin losing the luster of youth, muscles become flabby, the skin refuses to contract accordingly, and the inevitable result is wrinkles, femininity's fiercest and most insidious foe. There is no use attempting to reason with a woman about the evil effects of ill temper while she is in an ugly mood. She knows perfectly well that it is bad form; that it savors of the coarse aid underbred; that it is weak and bolstilling and immoral, and that it hurts her cause to lose her temper. But she does not stop at just that time to think about it, and to remind her of the fact only adds fuel to the flames.
But when she is cool and sarcine and at peace with all the world, if you can convince her that each fit of temper adds a year to her age by weakening her mental force and by tracing crow-tracks about her eyes and telltale lines around her mouth, she will probably think twice before again forgetting herself. For no matter what she asserts to the contrary, woman prizes youth and beauty above every other gift the gods hold it in their power to bestow upon mortals.—Adele E. Shaw, in Woman's Home Companion.
Women the Wide World Over.
The number of women in the drug business is increasing.
It is calculated that 200,000 women are employed as dressmakers in Paris.
The Queen of Greece is said to be the finest needlewoman among European royalists. Five cantons of Switzerland have admitted women to the business schools, and report good results. The Czar of Russia's army is the only one in Europe that can boast of feminine medical officers.
"I regard Miss Helen Hay," said William Dean Howells recently, "is one of the most promising women now writing verse."
The Dowager Empress of China has ordered the Chinese Minister to France to have 500 large photographs of the exposition buildings, etc., taken for her.
When Queen Victoria travels she goes in her own private car, whose apartments are fitted up in every way like her rooms at Windsor in miniature.
The Empress Eugenie is the only royal woman who owns a steam yacht. The Thistle, which belongs to her, is one of the host known pleasure craft on the Mediterranean. The vessel is fitted up in luxurious style.
The late Mrs. Mary J. Furman, whose will left $25,000 to Vanderbilt University, also provided for a $26,000 monument to be erected over her gravey, and that the monument be taken care of by the university.
Miss Jessica B. Peixote, of San Francisco, has passed an examination at the University of California for the degree of doctor of philosophy. She is the fourteenth to receive this degree at Berkeley, and the second woman.
By the Wyoming statute law, no discrimination is made in pay on account of sex when the persons are qualified and the labor is the same.
In the Wyoming State University one-fifth of the teachers are women, two of whom are full professors.
Although the ladies of the Diplomatic Corps in Washington have left their cards for the wife of the Turkish Minister none of them has ever been received by her, and she has never returned any of the calls. Etiquette does not permit a Turkish woman of high caste to go visiting. Nettie Dickey, of Stanton, Del., has recently returned to her home after leading the life of a tramp for several years. During that time she chopped wood for a living, slept in empty box cars and lived in cheap lodging-houses. She visited the principal cities in the United States, and is now willing to abandon her roving life and settle in Stanton.
According to Mrs. Boland Lincoln, of Boston, the fact that so many more women are coming forward to apply for the work of rent collecting shows that they themselves feel that it is work which they can do. The woman agent can offer suggestions about brightening the rooms, keeping windows open, etc. She can sympathize with the sorrows of her tenants and help them to bury their dead.
A woman who has done much to improve the roads in this country is Miss Rella C. Harber, of Trenton, Mo. Her father was Postmaster there, and at his death Miss Harber was appointed to fill out his term. After that, she sought and secured the position of traveling road agent. She arrauged for and booked practically all the conventions held on the route of the grand tour of 1893, covering 35,000 miles.

Frills of Fashion.
Lace effects in hosiery will be very popular for summer wear.
Embroidered mulls of all kinds are used for afternoon toilets.
The shirt waist still exists, but if has lost some of its former poplar larity.
The useful old blouse is still in favor, and it has reached a state of perfection that is truly alluring.
Campbell cloth, canister wool and squadron serge are the names of new utility fabrics for tailor costumes for traveling, golf and yachting wear.
Thus far among the Frouch models shown there are more gowns made with shirred, plaited or trimmed skirts than with short or long over-dresses.
The rage for plaiting and tucking is certain to last all summer. Tucks laid in various ways on an gown are one of the most economical ways of trimming it.
A chic model of black crepe de chine has a plaited skirt set onto a stitched yoke. On the hem are placed five-inch bands of black cloth. The cloth also appears in the bodice in the shape of a very short bolero.
Striped material and trimming which give the effect of a stripe are in great favor, stripes showing up again among the new ribbons, which have lengthwise stripes of white, with a hostitched finish on one or both sides.
Hemstitched afairia in underwear are more popular than cheap lace or embroidery. There is a new material which will appear in fine chemises, corset covers, etc. It seems thinner in substance than silk mull, and is certainly most dainty.
The long sleeve is doomed. The elbow sleeve will be universally used on thin gowns, and there is even a rumor that it will be the rule on all costumes. Some of the new sleeves are long on the outside of the arm but they never reach below the wrist.
The pompadour becomes gradually less almost weekly. The hair is crimped, slightly puffed out at the sides and arranged quite flat on top. Sometimes there is a suggestion of a part on the side, and the hair is carried across the forehead. Again little fuzzy curls are allowed to rest on the brow.
Many of the daintiest creations open in the back, and they certainly add much grace to the figure, especially now that all bodices again blonse considerably in the front. Naturally a garment buttoned up the back is not as handy to get into one resembling old Grimes's coat, but such trifles must be waived if it adds to the effectiveness of a costume, to fasten it in the back.

"Young-Sammi Spender is carrying out his governor's wishes faithfully, isn't he?"
"How's that?"
"Why, the old gentleman left instructions in his will, that after his death his dust was to be scattered to the winds."—Life.
Preliminary Instruction.
MoJigger—"Has Prudentz bought his automobile yet?"
Thinggumbob—"No, he hasn't finished his course of instruction with Professor Philip Flopp yet." McJigger—"O| he's teaching him how to run one, eh?" Thinggumbob—"No, indeed. He teaches acrobatics."
Decapitive Appearances.
The One—"Now, you wouldn't think that shabby old worth coming across the street was worth a million, would you?" The Other—"No, I would not. I should say about $100,000. He doesn't look poverty-stricken enough for a millionaire." -- Indianapolis Press.
Kind Nature.
"Strange how nature equalizes all things," said the philosopher. "I mean to say that nothing is lost in nature. What may be lacking here is given twofold there."
"Ahl" remarked the novelist, "how about the loss of sleep?"
"Just the point I was going to make. The sleep you lose over the writing of a novel is frequently gained by those who attempt to read it."—Philadelphia Press.
Had Flipped It Out.
"You think," scornfully exclaimed the girl, "I have refused you because you are comparatively poor. I wouldn't marry you if you were made of gold!" "No!" he thundered, "I told you my weight once, and you know that if I were made of gold I should be worth just $33,250. Yoff have set your heart, proud, ambitious woman, or marrying a "man worth $40,000!" Chicago Tribune.

PRETORIA LOST.
ENDS THE WAR
The Boer Capital Is Sarrendered
to Lord Roberts.
AFTER A LIVELY SKIRMISH
Event Is carats in England
With the Wildest Enthusiasm--
“Bobs” Redeems His Promise.
| oS ICSU SPeulal Sayre ss ee ee
Tuesday asftersfoon, almost eight
months after the declaration of war,
Lord Roberts entered Pretoria.
While the cammander-in-chief o!
the greatest army Great Britain. ever
put in the field was fulfilling tae
promise he -made to the guards a!
Bloemfontein to lead them into the
capital of the Transvaal, England was
celebrating the event with wild entha-
siasm. Throughout the length and
breadth of the country the news
spread like wildfire.
Based on the recollection of recent
Enropean wars, when the occupation
of the enemy's capital signified the
end gf hostilities, Lord Roberts’ terse
telegram was taken to mean the prao-
tical finish of tho war which has tried
Great Britain's military resources as
they were never tried before.
Lord Roberts’ Six Miles spruit dis-
patch was hardly printed by the ‘‘ex-
tras” before the union jack of the war
office was. hauled up the flagstaff, and
the brief message was passed from
month to mouth: "Pretoria occupied."
Judging from Lord Roberts’ phrase-
ology the occupation of Pretoria was
not accompanied by any loss of life.
What has happened to the Boer forces
which so insistently opposed the Brit-
ish advance at Six Miles can only be
surmised, but, presumably, they have
got away for the present at any rate.
The latest presa dispatches from a
representative of the Associated Pres«
at Pretoria, dated June 3d, quote Gen
eral Botha as saying:
“So long as we can still count
on oar tEbuanads of willing men
we must not dream of retreat or
throwing sway our independ-
ence.” *
‘The war office has information that
one of the first things done by Lord
Noborts after the occupation of Pre-
toria was to direct General French to
relieve the British prisioners confined
at Watorval.
The lord mayor of London has
cabled to Lord Roberts as ‘follows:
“The empire will never forget
what you sand the forces under
your command have accomplished.
Accept tho grateful congratulations
of the citizens of London,”
‘The war office bas received the fol-
lowing from Lord Roberts:
“Pretoria, June 5, 12:58 p, m.—
Inst before dark-yesterday the enemy
were beaten back from nearly all the
Positions they had been holding and
Ian Hamilton’s mounted infautry fol-
lowed them within two thousand yards
of Pretoria, through which they re-
treated hastily,
“De Lisle then sent an officer with
a flag of trace into the town, demand-
ing its surrender in my name, Shortly
before midnight I was awakened by
two officials of the Sonth African re-
public, Sandborg, military secretary
to Commandant General Botha, and a
general officer of the Boer army, who
brought me a letter from Botha, pro-
posing an armistice for the purpose of
settling the terms of surrender.
“J replied that I wonld gladly meet
the commandant general the next
morning, but I was not prepared to
disense any terms, as the surrender of
the town must be unconditional. I
asked for a reply by daybreak, os I
had ordered the troops to march on
the town as soon as it was light.
“In his reply Botha decided not to
defend Pretoria and that he trasted
women, children and property would
be protected. Atl a. m. today, while
on the line of march, Iwas met by
three of the principal,officials with a
flag of truce, stating their wish to sur-
render the town, @
“Tt was arranged “ that Pretoria
shonld be taken posce3sion of by her
majesty's troops at 2 ofclock this after-
noou.”” a
MUCH DOUBT EXISTS.

Reports From Lourenza Marques Are Va-
riéd and Confiteting.
‘The London Times‘ has the follow-
ing from Lourenzo! Marques, dated
Juno Ist. J!
“Reports of the most conflicting
character are current here due to the
activity of the Boer agents. While
one section declares that President
Kruger has returned to Pretoria for
the purpose of arranging term of sur-
render, another asserts that the Brit-
ish have been ropulsed outside of
Pretoria, Nothing authentic is known
here regarding Mr. Krnger’s where-
abonts or the situation in the Trans-
vaal.” .
