Gathered by Appaling Cyclone in the City of Gainesville, Georgia. HITS NEW HOLLAND the Southern Boll Telephone company. These wires were used by the surviv- Number of Killed, So For as Known, Eighty-Five. Immense Cotton Mills, Large Stores, Churches, Dwellings and Every class of Buildings Were Allike Cruashed Like so Many Egg Shells, Sending People With- In Them to a Horrible Shortly after the noon hour Monday a terrific cyclone swept through Gainesville, Ga., New Holland, just north of Gainesville, and White Sulphur Springs, six miles distant, scattering death and destruction in its path. The greatest loss of life is reported in the destruction of the Gainesville cotton mills on the outskirts of the city, where about eighty persons were reported killed and scores injured. Eighteen persons were killed in the city, where five large stores were blown down. The storm had driven many persons into these stores for refuge and they were probably all killed. There were five hundred persons a work in the cotton mills when the cyclone struck. The mill was a threestory building. The first story was left standing, but badly wrecked. The second and third floors were completely demolished and the employees caught under the wreckage and mangled. The Southern depot was blown down. The Galnesville iron works were demolished and several people perished in the wreck. The Galnesville Cotton Oil Mills were blown down. The old Piedmont hotel, used as a school and apartment house, was razed and halt a dozen or more people were killed in it. The Richmond hotel was wrecked and several inmates perished there. One hundred and twenty-five cottages, a school house and a church were blown away in the negro section of the town. Five brick stores on the main street were swept away. In all two hundred building were razed to the ground. Neither the Arlington hotel nor Brenau college was in the track of the tornado, and they escaped with their many occupants. The cyclone first struck the town in the southern portion. It came with a frightful roar and they day was turned into night. As people fled from the storm, they were caught in the wind and bodily blown in all directions. Houses reeled and rocked and then the fury of the cyclone burst upon the city. Some houses were torn into fragments; others were lifted from their foundations and carried intact for blocks; roofs sailed through the air like leaves and many persons were picked up in the storm and carried bodily over the trees and houses for long distances. Even above the roar of the cyclone could be heard the shricks of the injured-and the moans of the dying. Wildest excitement prevailed everywhere. The city was wrapped in inky blackness for a few moments. The cyclone was terrific in its fury. It swept railroad cars from the tracks and carried them out of sight in the air. The cyclone tore down all the wires leading into Gainesville except those of CASTRO BLOCKING TRADE. London Enters Vigorus Protest Against Closing of Custom Houses. The London foreign office has cabled the British minister in Caracas, Venezuela to protest against President Castro's decree closing the custom houses on the Gulf of Parla and at Ciudad Bollvar, cables The New York Herald's correspondent at Port of Spain, Trinidad. The enforcement of this decree means the stopping of the steamers of the British and American Orinoco companies and cutting off the west supply for Trinidad.

HORROR AT NEW HOLLAND. A car reached Gainesville from New Holland Springs at 12:40 Tuesday morning and the conductor stated that thirty-nine dead bodies had been recovered so far, and that there are 117 injured at that place. A courler from near White Sulphur Springs, six miles north of Gainesville, reports that that place was destroyed totally. White Sulphur is a summer resort, and, as it opened for the season a few days since, it is feared that fuller returns will reveal another horror. The place is one mile from the railway.

A dispatch from Manhattan, Kas, says: Not since the Galveston flood has water created such havoc and wrought such terrible destruction of life and property as has just been experienced in the Kaw valley of Kansas. The territory affected stretches from Brookville, Kan., to Kansas City, a distance of 200 miles by from three to fifteen miles in width. Almost the entire territory is submerged in water from one to fifty feet deep. The loss to cattle, homes, barns, fences and crops will run into the millions. Boatmen who have reached Manhattan report many persons missing: Keep Takes Oath of Office. Charles Hallam Keep, of Buffalo, recently appointed secretary of the treasury to succeed Milton E. Mills, resigned, has been sworn into office. THIRTEEN WERE VICTIMS. Complete List of Fatalities Resulting from Wreck on the Southern. A special from Birmingham, Ala., says: It is now reported that in addition to the eight traimmen who were killed in the Southern railway freight wreck at Bryan, five tramps, four negroes and one white man, were killed and burned. The bodies of none of the missing men have been recovered. Two engineers, Samuel Johnson and W. T. Acker, were taken out alive, but afterward died. All the other dead men were cremated. A score or more of loaded cars were burned SAVANNAH. GA. SATURDAY. JUNE 6. 1903. APPEAL FOR AID OF STORM SUFFERERS IN GAINESVILLE, NEW HOLLAND AND VICINITY. Further Details of the Horrible Catastrophe—Majority of Victims In Galnesville Cotton Mills Were Children of Tender Years—Pathetic and Hearttrending Scenes the Aftermath of Cyclone's Frightful Work—Revised List of the Krown Dead. Georgia's heart went out to storm-stricken Gainesville and New Holland Tuesday. In quick response to the appeals made by Governor Terrell and Mayor Parker, of Gainesville, subscriptions were raised in Georgia towns and cities from the mountains to the sea, and the city authorities at Gainesville wired to draw if any more is needed. The full amount reported Tuesday night as having been raised outside of Atlanta and Gainesville was $2,355. In addition to this, merchants of Augusta forwarded a car load of provisions to the sufferers. The amounts raised during the day as reported are: as reported are: Atlanta ..... $3,615.00 Athens ..... 850.00 Newnan ..... 460.00 Savannah ..... 300.00 Macon ..... 250.00 West Point ..... 155.00 Cedartown ..... 100.00 Dawson ..... 100.00 LaGrange ..... 100.00 Social Circle ..... 75.00 Toccoa ..... 75.00 Decatur ..... 25.00 Senola ..... 15.75 Total for the day ..... $6,195.75 Unutterable grief held storm-stricken Gainesville and New Holland in thrall Tuesday, and the people were weary with their weeping. A dreary rain fell gently through the darkened air and all nature seemed saddened by the great calamity. In long rows the dead lay offined and shrouded at the Pacolet mills, which miraculously escaped destruction. Only the strongest nerves could stand to look upon the horribly torn and disfigured bodies, and although thousands visited the building during the day, they moved with noiseless step and spoke only in whispers in the presence of this growsome testimonial to the power of the mighty force of the elements. Side by side, sleeping the last sleep, heeding not the bitter tears that were falling like rain upon their upturned faces, lay the bodies of thirty-three men, women and children. A little to one side rested a casket containing an infant, its little illly-white face showing no trace of neither fear nor of harm. The storm was kinder to it than to others and bore it gently across the dark stream. In another place lay the bodies of four young girls, their heads literally split open from the crown to the chin, and held together with bandages. An old man near them presented a face that was crushed so completely that not the slightest resemblance to a human being remained. A small boy near the end of one row of caskets had his face cut in two, in line with his mouth, and a bandage kept the severed parts together. The work of the tornado was complete. From the factory where it first descended upon doomed Gainesville to the hills beyond New Holland, where it rose into the upper air, the destruction of property is utter and the loss of life is appalling. Along this entire course, for a distance of perhaps two miles, there is not a fence standing, not a habitable house, most of the latter being reduced to strips like laths, and scarcely a tree left. Words cannot paint the picture in its true colors, and to exaggerate is an impossibility. At the Gainesville cotton mills, where the fury of the storm first made itself felt, the scenes were perhaps the most desolate, for here on the top floor, children of tender years were the victims of the storm. Girls and boys were hurled to death The Mississippi river has risen to thirty feet, the danger line at St. Louis and continues to rise at the rate of more than two feet a day. Indications are that the 34 foot stage predicted by the signal service bureau will be exceeded. A 34-foot stage at St. Louis means immense loss. Already tens of thousands of acres of soil, the most productivo in the middle west, on the Missouri and Illinois sides, are under water north of the city. from the top of the great mill. Buried in the debris of the roof and top floor of the wrecked structure, their bodies were found, crushed and mangled, some of them almost beyond identification. Little once, hurled from the spinning frames where they were working, fell to the ground and were instantly killed by the falling debris. Only two or three bodies were found in the building, most of them being discovered under the debris in frpnt of the mill. The cyclone struck the mill at exactly 12:45 o'clock, ten minutes after the 750 employees had filed into the great structure from their dinner. Ten minutes sooner, and not a life would have been lost in this mill.

Estimates still vary as to the number of fatalities. This is due to the fact that the list is being continually increased by the death of those fatally injured. ESTIMATE OF PROPERTY LOSS Occasioned by Cyclone Which Whelmed Gainesville and New Holland. The losses to property occasioned by the cyclone is estimated at $600,000. The Gainesville Cotton mills is worth $550,000 and employed 750 hands. The stock on hand Monday at noon was valued at $100,000. The Pacolet mill was capitalized at $1,250,000 and worked 1,300 hands. The loss here is confined solely to cottages occupied by employees. It will be between $25,000 and $50,000. The property destroyed between the two mills will make the total loss near the $600,000 mark. The Southern railway is a heavy loser in damages to the pumping station, the depot and the destruction of rolling stock. Both the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph companies lost poles and wires. The North Georgia Electric Company is also a heavy loser HEAVY SENTENCE FOR POISONER Will Adams, Colored, Given Twenty- Five Years in the Pen. In the suprarior court at Brunswick, Ga., Tuesday Will Adams, a negro who poisoned a number of prominent people at a social party a few weeks ago, was arraigned and sentenced to serve twenty-five years in the penitentiary. Adams pleaded guilty to the charge, there being three cases against him, but there could have been sixteen, as that is the number of persons that he poisoned. Adams stated that he placed rough on rats in the ice cream to poison the cook and not the guests SCENE OF APPALLING RUIN MOST DIRE DISASTER Situation in the Two Kansas Cities Also Most Appalling. FLOATING HOUSES AFLAME Dwing to Inability to Traverse Flooded Sections, no Accurate Account of Lives Lost or Amount of Destruction Wrought Can Be Secured With 175 or 200 lives lost, millions of dollars of property destroyed, hundreds of pistol shots as signals of distress, blended with the agonizing cries of unwilling inhabitants of treetops and roofs of houses, and the waters creeping upward and then slowly subsiding and alternately changing hope to despair, Topeka, the capital city of Kansas, passed the most memorable Sabbath day of its existence. Through all this discomforting condition of affairs was added the presence of a dismal rain. The ardor of the rescue work of the heroic rescuers was not abated by the conditions which confronted them. For long dreary hours, knee deep in water and sometimes in water up to their necks, they worked with might and main. Briefly stated, the condition of the flood at last reports was as follows: One hundred and seventy to two hundred people drowned; eight thousand people without homes; four million dollars' worth of property destroyed; identified dead five; floating bodies seen, twenty; people missing, two hundred; banks collapsed, two; wholesale grocery stores flooded, two; big business blocks almost ready to crumble, fifty; wholesale commission houses deserted, six; city water works plant useless. The known drowned are: Karl Rupp, Orlvillele Rupp, two Rupp girls, G. H. Garrett's, 5-year-old son, twenty bodies unidentified. Leading men have made a careful examination of the flood and all its conditions, and as a result of their investigation they give 150 as the probable number of lives lost. A more conservative estimate places the number of dead at 175. The higher number is as apt as the lower. The number of dead is merely a matter of estimate. Twenty members of the rescuing parties tell of how they saw people drop from houses only to be swept away by the flood and others tell of men who, terrified at the approach of the fire, dropped into the water, where they sank and did not reappear. This estimated number of dead does not include the large number classed as missing who cannot otherwise be accounted for. Neither does it include the number who are supposed to have lost their lives in the fire. In the latter class there is absolutely no means of arriving at even an approximate number of victims. The water was so high and the current so strong that all that could be done immediately was to rescue those in the buildings surrounded by water. It will be at least three days before the correct number of dead will be decided on. Work of rescuing the victims of the flood is pushing forward with great vigor. FLOATING HOUSES AFLAME. The following special was sent out from Topeka Saturday night: The fire which began in North Topeka, already surrounded by water, Saturday afternoon raged until past midnight. Four hundred houses have been burned, and, as near as can be learned, about one hundred and fifty persons are dead. Most of these were burned to death. Burning houses were floating about, setting fire to others. The lower story of the burning buildings contained ten feet of water. The current was so strong that no boat could approach any of the burning buildings. People were gathered on the tops of houses and met death either by fire or burning. The cries for help could be distinctly heard a mile away. The whole city was wildly excited because of the fact that no air could be extended to the sufferers. The river at North Topeka is five miles wide. No possible estimate of the financial loss is obtainable, but it can be stated that it will reach into the millions. North Topeka was the manufacturing district of the city. Three large NO 35. flour mills, three woolen mills and other manufacturing enterprises are entirely destroyed. The water supply of the whole city has been cut off. Rain began falling shortly after midnight and this had a tendency to check the fires in the dwellings. KANSAS CITY INUNDATED. KANSAS CITY INDATED. With the Kaw and Missouri rivers nearly four foot above the disastrous level of 1881, and their swollen tide spread over 12 square miles of the city and its suburbs, Kansas City Sunday night was in the worst'ood of its history. In the valley of the Kaw, or Kansas river, between Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kans., a report has it that a number of lives has been lost. One report says fourteen and another fifty. Twelve bodies were counted as they floated past during the day. The financial loss has been increasing and bds fair to continue. The heaviest loss is at Armourdale, where the losses to the packing industry and others is placed conservatively at $2,500,000. Argentine, another suburb, has suffered losses estimated at $500,000. Other losses which cannot now be estimated will increase the total very materially. Armourdale, with a population, of 16,000 people, is deserted, and its site marked only by the tops of buildings and a number of fires. The Kansas City, Mo., Times of Monday morning published the following list of dead: James Deerman, William Herbert, express man, Armourdale, drowned with two others; five persons, three men and two women, drowned by capsizing of a boat noar Union Pacific bridge; three persons, a man and two women, in capsized boat, disappeared north of the Missouri Pacific shop; unknown man, seen to fall from an abandoned Belt Line, locomotive into the flood; William Heisler, truck driver, drowned in the east bottoms; two men reported drowned at Electric park; Philip Ware, negro, aged 10 years, drowned; unknown man, body drifted under "L" bridge. No bodies have been recovered. A message to The Times from Kansas City, Kans., by way of Leavenworth, at 2 o'clock Monday morning, was as follows: "Twenty-seven men were on the Union Pacific bridge, which spanned the Kansas river, when it went down, and all of the men were drowned. It is said that many persons saw the helpless men drown." At Kansas City, Kans., and in the suburban towns of Armourdale and Argentine and at Harlem and Sheffield, Mo., near Kansas City, Mo., an aggregate of 10,000' persons have been forced to leave their homes and eight thousand employees of the numerous packing houses and railroad shops in the bottoms are out of employment. The situation summarized follows: Kansas—North Topeka, 7,000; near Emporia, 500; Salina and vicinity, 800; Lawrence, 500; Kansas City, Armourdale and Argentine, 10,000. Missouri—Harlem and Sheffield, 700. Iowa—Des Molnes, 6,000; Ottumwa, 200. Nebraska—Lincoln, 200; Beatrice, 200. Financial Losses. Kansas—North Topeka, $1,000,000; Lawrence $100,000; Concordia, $100,000; Abilene and vicinity, $300- 000; Salina and vicinity, $150,000; Solomon, Chapman Detroit and Woodbine and intervening country, $400- 000; Des Molnes, $500,000. STORM STRIKES ATLANTA. One Death and Three Fires by Lightning—Traffic Badly Blockaded. One death, three fires; the disruption of the street car system and the crippling of the telephone, electric light, telegraph and police signal systems, were the more serious results of the storm which visited Atlanta, Ga., Sunday afternoon. Miss Lula Higgins was struck by lightning and almost instantly killed. The Georgia Avenue Presbyterian church was struck in two places by lightning and was burned to the ground. Two residences, which adjoined the church, were badly damaged by fire. Thirty-eight troley cars of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company had their fuses burned out and became inoperative. Four others were derailed by sand and mud being washed upon the track. The entire system was disrupted for about two hours. The electric lighting system of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company was rendered inoperative from about 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon until 7 o'clock at night. --- The Savannah Tribune.

ONWARD is the march of the colored man's progress. It is quiet, but effective notwithstanding the alarmist. THE TRIBUNE acknowledges an invitation to attend the thirty-first commencement exercises of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo. This is one of the oldest and most progressive institutions of learning in the country. THE TRIBUNE feels proud of the fact that it is presided over by a Georgian in the person of Prof. Benj. F. Allen of this city. EXERCISES as those recently held at the State College and other institutions of learning have a tendency of bringing out some, of the leading men of the opposite race and there they can see a large number of our best people, that they can see at no other place. There they can here the sentiments expressed and behold the several abilities of our boys and girls. THE TRIBUNE notes that several thousand acres of land have been bought in Alabama for a distinct colony of white people. All, of the farm work, etc., is to be done by white helps. It is experimental and is for the purpose of demonstrating that white help is superior to colored help. Can not our people "read between the lines" and act in a manner that will benefit themselves? LAST Sunday in the midst of his sermon, the Rev. Babbitt of the Brooklyn church of the Epiphany said in speaking of the treatment of the Negroes in the South: "They, are rapidly robbing Negroes by a deliberate system not only of their inalienable rights to life, liberty and happiness as citizens of the great republic, but we see state after state in the south concocting in the devil's worship their own brand of legislative nullification. We see some northern ministers applauding them and applying the approbious epithet "nigger" to the hapless black man." FREQUENT complaints have been made of the conduct of a certain class of immoral white men who molest colored ladies and girls on the streets especially at nights. Some of these fellows are bold enough to attempt their familiarities in the day. The most recent case that we have been informed of occurred on Saturday night. Two respectable young girls had occasion to do some shopping for their parents on Broughton street. They were seen by one of these fellows who followed them and flaunted a dollar bill in their faces at the same time spoke insultingly to them. The girls undertook to shun him, but were followed. Finally they had to appeal to a gentleman who was passing for protection, whereupon the white fellow slunked away. These girls did the proper thing to appeal for protection and what they did should be emulated by others when molested. These fellows who insult our females should be apprehended and lawfully dealt with. College Commencement. shop, Mr. Boston had some as pretty cabinet work as one would wish to see. In the shoe shop, Mr. Golden had as fine specimen of shoes as could be found anywhere in the state. In the tailor shop, Mr. Lewis had some as fine suits as the most fastidious dude could desire. Mr. Hazel of the paint shop showed what a master hand he had in the fine graining and painting of the reception room. The display of sewing under the skilled Mrs. McLester was enough to suit the most particular. The Peabody Dairy under the charge of Messrs. McDew and Gray showed the carefulness of these young men. Miss Jackson's store room, kitchen, dining room and dormitories showed what the hand of a master could do. Superintendent McLester had the farm looking neat and clean. The rains have been unkind to him but he did the beat he could. President Wright's class in sociology will have chance to practice on the people. Vice-Pres. Suggs will hasten to N. C., to see the madam who looks longingly for his face. Prof. Pearson the mighty nimrod of the campus will have plenty of time to kill sparrows and mosquitoes. Prof. Cobb, after twelve years of service, leaves to accept the principalship of the Waycross school. Our best wishes go with him and hopes for a prosperous life. The faculty presented some very fine resolutions of good will to Prof. Cobb and bespeaks for him the good will of the people of the wire grass section. Prof. Cobb has trained some very fine young mathematicians, and the state has been greatly helped by his service. The following is the list of graduates: College, Mr. Julius C.

The baptism of adults and children will take place at 3 p.m. The communion will be administered at 4:30 and be continued at 8:30 p.m. Our big rally day comes off on the third Sunday in this month. Every member must be ready to pay his or her assessment of $200. We must raise $500 00. We have some very important debt to pay and must have the money. If any of our friends wish to help us, whatever given will be thankfully received. St. Philips church is going to give an excursion to Beaufort, S. C., on Monday June 27 and we want our friends to wait and go with us as we will make it enjoyable for all who may go. The Sunday School' excursion and picnic to Blufton on last Wednesday was quite a success and every body enjoyed themselves. The following services will be held on Sunday: Prayer-meeting at 5 a.m.; preaching at 11; Sunday School at 2 p.m.; communion at 3 p.m.; preaching at 8 p.m. Second Baptist Church. Rev. T. M. Williamson, late of the Balton street church, preached a very acceptable sermon to an appreciative audience at 11 a.m. last Sunday. The pastor was absent being in attendance upon the baccalaureate services at the State Industrial College. At 8:30 p.m. Dr. Durham preached from Rom. S:1-2, subject "The blessed condition of believers. The excursion last Tuesday evening was a success, and was highly enjoyed. Rev. E. W. D. Isaac, D. D., is national secretary of the B. Y. P. U. of the United States, and who preached the baccalaureate sermon at the Georgia State Industrial-College last Sunday, will preach at Second Baptist church to-mor- row at 8:30 p. m. Dr. Isaac is one of the ablest men of the race, a great pulpit orator, and those who hear him are always pleased, interested, benefited. Dr. Durham, delivered the annual address to the literary societya of the College last Tuesday night and also the commencement address at the Albany Normal school, Albany, Ga., Wednesday of last week. In speaking of the doctor's address at Albany, the Albany Daily Herald (white) has the following to say: The address of Rev. J. J. Durham was a model lecture for the occasion. The speaker choose for his subject "The Utilitarian Idea of Education," and he handled it in a manner that at once demonstrated the fact that he is a man of learning, with common sense views upon the usages of education. He drew largely from the Bible, and a high Christian, moral tone pervaded the whole address. There were a number of white citizens, including two prominent clergymen, in the audience, and they all agreed that the address of Dr. Durham was above criticism. With such men to teach them and preach to them the negroes in Georgia will be educated to some purpose and the race will show more and more evidence of advancement on moral and material lines. The Evangelical Union The Evangelical Ministers Union convened on Tuesday morning, Rev. James Jackson presiding. The devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. W. M. Caldwell. The organist Rev H. R. Elli opened with the beautiful hymn "Blessed Assurance." Rev Caldwell offered a feverish prayer and read the lesson from the 14th chapter of John. It was one of the most interesting sessions of the year from both the temporal and spiritual hypothesis. Matters of vital importance to our people occupied the attention of the Union throughout the session and many brilliant speeches and helpful suggestions were indulged in by leading divines. He refereed especially the orator, George W. Newton, L. W. Word, H. R. Ellis, G. T. Fantoy, W. M. Caldwell, J. L. Coleg, E. G. Gatlin, Samuel J. Thomas and Rev. J. S. Jenkins. Dr. Word delivered an address with considerable uction of spirit in which he referred to the seekng neglect of the sick and afflicted amongst us, and especially the poor inmates of the two colored hospitals of the city, the Charity hospital and the Georgia Infirmary, many of whom may be suffering for want of some kind of spiritual consolation as well as from physical pain. The outcast and abandoned who belong to no church and who have no priest advice or consolation from the word of God are rapidly a passage from time to eternity without a word of hope or comfort from the few chosen messengers of Christ. After further discussion of the matter, on occasion of Dr. Newton, many of whom may be preparing a register of the ministers with their residence, and telephone numbers of those using phones, for the benefit of the sick and afflicted at these two hospitals who may desire the services of a minister at any time.

Lionel though a middle-aged man, natriromonial acquisition, and was known of all possible to be his favorite. It was, irritated, reported, and, in proved, that the diamond bowon, as it undoubtedly mother, would be placed on regerger by Mr. Mapleton in the people not only as a day or two before the tour. Cercaldine did hear it, she hat ping-pong had never been the position that it put her n and it was certainly for inviable one. Her people irritably well off, there mother had urged her some before to encourage Mr. Mapleton much as possible, pointing out to the great advantages that such a n would bring to her family. ) all this Geraldine had said not for only that evening she had but truly what love meant; had not en it, had not heard it. had only it—not in words, in declara- in another's eyes; but Wilfrid ton's prospects were almost nil, therefore, he kept silence; but uline understood. was because of all this that she confronted with one of the first table turnings in her life; whether should do her best to win the tournment and gain a diamond ring and a husband, or lose and reap the love a man to whom all her heart went to reciprocation. Up to the moment the first game she had not decided. There were a lot of people there; petitions in their legions, all dressed, not to win, at least to look their it in losing; old ladies—mostly thers, curious to see the final rees and greedy of their daughters'cess—and young men, silent supporters of some individual girl's play, fact, almost the whole of Fenches' was there. Lionel Mapleton greeted them all with the same affability, though to everybody present it seemed that he did more graciously at Geraldine as led her to the table for the first me in the tournament. Then it all immenced. At first Geraldine's impulses of winning were strong within, and she played to the best of herILITY, winning the game casily widest the solicitations to the loser ad the congratulations of Lionel Ma At the congratulations of Eloise Katon, which made her shudder when she thought of what it would be at be end when she won. For the next two games she was a ye, listening to her mother's congratulations, and wishing that the whole ging was over and that she had lost. At last her turn came again, and gain she won, and following that, yet gain; now she was certain to be in the semi-final, and every one was saying already that the tournament was hers. In a breathless silence she played the semi-final, though she herself seemed callous of winning, and, accordingly, her strokes told, one after the other, for her opponent, though in good player, was stricken with nervousness, and again and again the little celluloid ball fell off the table, as point by point Geraldine brought the game up to herself. Frequently she was applauded or her strokes; and Mr. Mapleton, unable to keep still in his excitement, walked in and out between the spectators, unable to conceal his evident desire that she should succeed. Even as the games were, each of ERALDINE MAY HW had earned for herself a reputation, and in one respect it seemed to outsiders to be an enviable one. In the small select and ting the best player, but nowledgement of his arco- at as these, though they ate me in reaching the cars le most concerned in them, by do arrive at length at tion. them almost brought to deuce and vantage, for Miss Borthwick was Geraldine's most dreaded combatant, the latté succeeded in winning; and, with the clapping of many hands, she sat down to rest for the final game of the tournament. The other girl who had, by being a bye, been left for the final, was short, unprepossessing, plain to a degree, and wore glasses to add to her lack of interest. It certainly was scarcely her fault, but, as is the way of the world, her supporters were few in number; moreover, she was a poor player, and for Geraldine every one knew it to be a foregone conclusion. Many more visitors had come in since the tournament had begun, and as Geraldine stood up to play the final game a pair of black, eyes from the back of the spectators gazed into hers, and she read in them despair, pride, but deepest of all, the great love that she had seen there once before. In that moment, as she took up her racket to begin the game her mind had decided, and her course of action showed more plausibly than words could have done what that decision was. At times she played brilliant strokes, as though to show the assembled company that no power of hers was failing. Occasionally she would drive the ball so near the edge of the table that its reaching at all was a stroke worthy of applause, and moment by moment every one in the room realized that intentionally she was throwing away the game which had almost been placed in her hand. Only twice during the three sets that were played, for she lost the first two and won the second, did she look up, and each time the same eyes were silently regarding her, now with admiration, and now, as she played a brilliant stroke, with fear. Her mother, though she scarcely understood the game at all, and thought that druce was an improper word to use before ladies, was almost crying with vexation in the corner where she was sitting, for they reported to her that her daughter was losing. Geraldine played the last sort better, though she never forgot, when, having won a stroke to let her opponent win the following one and accordingly the sets stood at one all, and the games four-five; the next would grant her another chance, or lose her everything. One incident entirely decided her, Mr. Mapleton brought out the diamond ring and placed it on the mantelpiece in the room where every one's eyes—Geraldine's included—could see it. The action disgusted her, as it was so obviously a species of bribery that she threw away every stroke, and lost the last game of all—to love! It was soothing to her vanity that the uninteresting girl thought she was the better player. With the best grace that he could muster, and it was but poor, Mr. Mapleton handed the little velvet case to her, as Geraldine retired to a vacant seat. It was a few days after the evening of the tournament, when Feuchster was beginning to rest from the breathlessness of its surprise, that Geraldine encountered Wilfrid Lawton as she was returning from making a poor call in the parish. The long and narrow little lane that led to her garden gate was dark and damp with the foggy mist of evening that was rising from the earth, and she could barely see her way, and so she started when a footstep came, behind her and a voice pronounced her name. "Mr. Lawton!" she exclaimed. "Why didn't you tell me it was you?" He apologized. "I'm very sorry," he said, "but I wanted to speak to you." She stopped. "What is it?" she said, and it was with difficulty that she could keep the tremor from her voice. "Every one in Fountainchester is curious," he began, "and I am anxious to know why you throw away all your chances of winning that tournament. Believe me it is not an idle curiosity that prompts me to ask—and will you tell me?" She hesitated for a moment. "Because," she said at length, "because I did not wish to be under any obligation to Mr. Mapleton." "There were many girls there that night who would have given worlds to have been in your position." "Probably," she replied, "but there are higher things than a mere position, Mr. Lawton." They were still standing in the growing darkness of the little lane, and the glooming gave him confidence, for his hand reached for her shoulder and rested there. "And do you seek the higher things?" he askel quietly. "Yes," she whispered in answer. "I have sought them." "And where have you looked?" he asked, dallying with the pure delight of the moment. "In your eyes," she said, whispering again. "And could you find them?" "Even in the dark?" she replied, as her head sought his shoulder.—Philladelphia Telegraph. Kensing For Paris Shopgirls. The latest development of the scheme for providing rational and healthy exercise for Paris working girls—dressmakers, milliners and others—is a class for fencing. After singing, dancing and declamation; "Mimi Pinson" is now being taught to handle the foils, and a few nights ago, at an exhibition at the Conservatoire Populaire, the young women showed that they could thrust and parry in quite a remarkable fashion. The one thing that annoys them is that they are compelled to hide their pretty faces behind unprepossessing masks, but this, in the opinion of the fencing mistress, is a small drawback compared with the splendid result of the vigorous exercise upon girls who are imprisoned all day in stuffy shapes and ill-ventilated workrooms.—London Mail. Reform in Education. Reform in Education. By Professor Eliot, President of Harvard University E all know that there is no real line between the elementary and secondary schools, neither is there a definite distinction between the secondary school and the colleges. The whole process should be one. the child had best go away from its home for its education. Our country has found that the moral character of its youth has been pretty thoroughly developed at the age of eighteen. That age is a good one to take the child away from home. Don't we know what changes really need to be made? The change is in the order of the subjects taught in the High School and the order of all the subjects from the ages of six to eighteen. Don't we know that the High School to-day is positively bad; that the study of languages is erroneous? Any child of nine can master any domestic or foreign language, and so also an observation subject such as botany. Yet the study of these subjects' is deferred to the age of fourteen. We are beginning to get the observation studies down into the primary grades, but we have got to get them there more than they now are. Every child in the whole country ought to have a chance to attack the language and observation studies. The blindness to this system lies in the fact that certain studies are held back for High School study. Increasing the High School course to six years would be a distinct help. By Charles A. Conant. HE discovery was made long before our time that a piece of property or a new enterprise could be given mobility and divisibility by putting the title of its ownership into transferable shares. The creation of share companies enables the small capital of individuals to be gathered into the large funds necessary to build factories and railways. It divides the risk of an undertaking among many persons, and places the enterprise beyond the accidents of a single human existence by giving it a fictitious body dowered by law with perpetual life. We mobility to the shares thus created, it is necessary that they should market. It would be comparatively useless to divide an enterprise into there were no means of transferring these shares readily from hand. Therefore, a market for the shares and bonds issued by such enterer one of the vital necessities of their creation. Such a market is after the stock exchange. The fact that the stock market is sometimes by people who go into it in a gambling spirit, who know nothing of losses and who are incapable of understanding the mighty influences dominate it, is no reason for treating it as a harmful excrescence on the title. Railways have not been abolished because a locomotive runs occasionally and kills them; banks have not been abolished because slomally suspends; and enlightened judgment had been used. Legislation never have been enacted in Germany and seriously considered in countries for stamping out or hampering the operations of the stock and markets.—The Atlantic. Distinctive Feature of Our Constitution To give mobility to the shares thus created, it is necessary that they should have a market. It would be comparatively useless to divide an enterprise into shares if there were no means of transferring these shares readily from hand to hand. Therefore, a market for the shares and bonds issued by such enterprises is one of the vital necessities of their creation. Such a market is afforded by the stock exchange. The fact that the stock market is sometimes abused by people who go into it in a gambling spirit, who know nothing of its purposes and who are incapable of understanding the mighty influences which dominate it, is no reason for treating it as a harmful excrescence on the body politic. Railways have not been abolished because a locomotive runs over men occasionally and kills them; banks have not been abolished because one occasionally suspends and if enlightened judgment had been used, legislation would never have been enacted in Germany and seriously considered in other countries for stamping out or hampering the operations of the stock and produce markets.—The Atlantic. The Distinctive Feature of Our Constitution By Justice David J. Brewer. OUGHTFUL men, the world over, have not been lacking in praise of our constitution and system of government. As the years go by it becomes more apparent that the distinctive feature of the constitution is its judicial system, with the Supreme Court at its head. Net in the mere fact of a judicial system, for courts were a part of our Anglo-Saxon inheritance. Indeed, long before the settlement of this country executive, legislative, and judicial departments and functions were in existence. But the significance is in the powers given to the Supreme Court, and given in a Republic formed by a union of States, which, though surrendering some of the absolute key of a Nation, were continued in possession of a large amount of input authority. All ours a Federal system of government. It is Federal because there are States within and a part of that Nation—a Nation supreme in affairs and in foreign relations, and yet powerless to control the local interest of the separate States. We rightfully speak of the as a nation possessed in its relation to the nations of the world of all initial attributes of nationality, yet we know that the nation, that Conciliate legislative body of the nation, is impotent to regulate the police of the smallest village in any State. Over local affairs the States are mere as though they were not integral parts of the republic. Extension of a new nation with all the elements of nationality, with control over national affairs and foreign relations, and yet composed as having a like absolute control over the local affairs of the com-mit within their limits, would, in the nature of things, result in contro-tween the Nation and the States as to their relative control in many That such disputes might be settled peacefully required an indebtual, and so the constitution provided the Supreme Court, and to yet were given vast powers.—From "The Supreme Court of the United in Scribner's.

It is Federal because there is a Nation and States within and a part of that Nation—a Nation's supreme in national affairs and in foreign relations, and yet powerless to control the purely local interest of the separate States. We rightfully speak of the republic as a nation possessed in its relation to the nations of the world of all the essential attributes of nationality, yet we know that the nation, that Congress as the legislative body of the nation, is impotent to regulate the police affairs of the smallest village in any State. Over local affairs the States are as supreme as though they were not integral parts of the republic. This creation of a new nation with all the elements of nationality, with absolute control over national affairs and foreign relations, and yet composed of States having a like absolute control over the local affairs of the communities within their limits, would, in the nature of things, result in controversies between the Nation and the States as to their relative control in many matters. That such disputes might be settled peacefully required an independent tribunal, and so the constitution provided the Supreme Court, and to that court were given vast powers.—From "The Supreme Court of the United States," in Scribner's. We Can All Help to Make Life Pleasanter if We Will By Margaret Stowe. HE question that is naturally asked is, "How on earth can I help to make life more pleasant? I have no money to give, no influence and no time." As far as your understanding goes now that seems perfectly true, but wait one moment. Let the idea of money go and let us take up the question of influence. You have influence. Unconsciously you are influencing people every minute of every day with your thoughts. Influence derived from position in life is nothing compared to or you have in your thought world. Begin by looking out from within for a moment. Are your thoughts cheerful, or gloomy and dull? You can make your mental attitude toward the world such as will have the power, the influence, or the force to strengthen and uplift. It is good to see on every side evidences of the fact that people are beginning to realize the power of thought and to know that through that channel they are a help in the world. In this strenuous life of ours we need to cultivate and spread all the good cheer, happiness and contentment that we can; and each one of us can if he determines to do so. The main stumbling block to man is self. Do not be so taken up with your own interests that you can think of nothing else. Do not, in other words, be a hindrance. "It is the ignorant man who seeks his own ends at the expense of the greater whole. It is the ignorant man, therefore, who is the selfish man. The truly wise man is never selfish." The question of time, or no time, is an absurd excuse. Instead of wasting time telling friends about your aches and pains and troubles, which, by the way, no one wants to hear about, why not spread good cheer and talk health and happiness? Instead of fussing and worrying over business on your way home from the office why not send out to everybody strengthening and loving thoughts? Think of others who are tired and depressed, and help those around you by your cheerfulness and kindness. You can benefit them and yourself as well, for it is by giving that we receive. Try this a week and see if you are not the gainer. It is true, it is common sense, and it is demonstrable. In the degree that you are kind and cheerful will you shed that light upon the lives of those around you. In the degree that we love will we be loved. "Thoughts are forces. Each creates of its kind. Each comes back later with the effect that corresponds to itself and of which it is the cause." So if you want love, happiness and contentment send out thoughts of love, happiness and contentment, for like attnets like; but if you live in the thought of malice, criticism or worry, those very conditions will come back to you and consequently breed weakness. Think over the fact that thoughts are forces and the help that you can give is unlimited—New York American. W the child had been found that the developed at the c from home.

I believe that the line is this, and that it is the only line I know of in the whole process of education; it is the age when HE discovery was made long before our time that a piece of property or a new enterprise could be given mobility and divisibility by putting the title of its ownership into transferable shares. The creation of share companies enables the small capital of individuals to be gathered into the large funds necessary to build factories and railways. It divides the risk of an undertaking among many persons, and places the enterprise beyond the accidents of a single human existence by giving it a fictitious body dowered by law with perpetual life. HE question that is naturally asked is, "How on earth can I help to make life more pleasant? I have no money to give, no influence and no time." As far as your understanding goes now that seems perfectly true, but wait one moment. Let the idea of money go and letus take up the question of influence. You have influence.

PEDPED" THE FILIPINOS. UST before the volunteer regiments were ordered to the States for muster out, General Funston, then Colonel of the Twentieth Kan- UST before the volunteer regiments were ordered to the States for muster out, General Funston, then Colonel of the Twentleth Kansas, was on one of his famous hikes north of San Fernando. When near the swamps of Candaba, a little way from Arayat, he noted signs of the enemy, and to escape an engagement before he knew something of his strength, he sent out a detachment of ten men to recountre, locate him, and if possible, ascertain the character of his intrenchments. Jack*Devinnie*, of Company M₃ was among the number selected to perform the important but dangerous mission. As his name suggests, he was of Erin's blood, and next to the green he loved the yellow, for he was a son of the eruptible Sunflower State. When on his good behavior Jack was looked upon as the peer of any man in his regiment for scout service, or service of any sort that required sagacity and mother wilt. More than once he had received the gracious thanks of his company and regimental commanders for the successful performance of duties in which his life hung in the balance. The detachment was placed under the command of a Sergeant, and it was soon hid in the bush of the adjacent forest, the edge of which had been selected for the night's bivouac, unless, perchance, the force of the foe and his position had been fixed beyond perpendicular. Hour after hour passed, for the detachment according to instructions, had made a wide detour and did not get back until just before sundown, when, for the first time, it was noticed that Devinnie's place in ranks was vacant. This caused no unciness at first, for it was supposed that he "fell out" for urgent reasons and would soon put in an appearance. But darkness came and no Jack. Then there was anxiety. Some expressed the fear that he, had got lost in the mazes of the underbrush, but his company companions, who knew him best, insisted that he would turn up in due time. Cold snacks were issued, sentinels were posted, and the regiment sought its rest with the trusty Krag by the side of each man. Funstoh's men were not to be caught napping. "Corporal of the Guard No. 2," rang out upon the air about 10 o'clock. The answer was made post haste and there stood Devinnie with three Mausers and three gugu prisoners in front of him, and the sentinel was on his guard to see that not even Jack got away. The corporal and the missing man exchanged a few words, and on insisting he was taken before Funston. His company commander was not good enough for him just then. The little man who ran the coup on hiking Aggle was overglad, to see the missing scout, and it didn't take but a minute to see that he had some prizes to turn over and a story to tell. Jack stood behind his prisoners, and with his Krag at right shoulder, he brought his left hand briskly to the small of its stock, giving the proper salute, and stood at attention. "Surrounded 'em, Jack?" queried the Colonel, with a merry twinkle in his eye. "No, bogorra," said he, "I sniped you." Jack then explained that he was at the right of the detachment, which was moving in order of skirmishers about twenty feet apart, and that to escape an impenetrable jungle he moved still further to the right, tripped on some creeping vines and pitched headlong into a gulch, where he lay for some time in a dazed condition. On coming to himself he went opposite to the direction taken by the rest of the detachment, and ultimately sped his three prisoners coming toward him. Hiding himself in a cope practically secure he awaited them, but they had evidently tired, and scatted themselves to rest within thirty yards of his place of concealment. He then resolved on capturing them and their arms. So he bided his time, crept upon them, and when they were in the midst of their "hablas," he demanded their surrender with such unction that they gave up without even reaching for their guns.—Manila Critic. A GALLANT FIREMAN The personal bravery of Captain Swenie, late Chief of the Chicago Fire Department, at a fire might have been called the most abandoned recklessness had he not been such a superb general and fighter. Great as were the risks he he took never took one unnecessarily, and never asked his men to go into a place of danger into which he was not glad and willing to lead them. While he was still a boy volunteer his first act of conspicuous gallantry was recorded in the archives of the department. A two-story frame building, a paint store below and living rooms above, caught fire late one night. The inmates, panic-streken, fled down the narrow passageways and jumped from windows, but a servant and a two-year-old baby were abandoned to the flames and given up for lost. Their absence was discovered just as Swenle's company, with their old hand engine, reached the place, and the boy, without waiting for orders, or heading the attempts of his fellow firemen to pull him back, got into the burning store, and scrambling along a passageway leading upstairs, reached the room where the girl, and child were lying unconscious. The stairs were half-gone and the whole building was a whirling mass of fire, but Swenle never lost his head. He picked the two up in his arms and groped his way back to the stairs he had ascended, only to find all means of escape cut off. Fighting through the fire in the room he reached an outside window, attracted the attention of the firemen below and waited while they got a ladder up to him. Then he carried his burden down in safety. His hair and eyebrows were burnt off and his whole back and hands were badly scorched, but in a week he was running again with the Red Jacket, willing and eager for another chance to risk his life for the lives of others. That was not a bad start for a boy. It pointed to still haver deeds in future years, and it is hardly enough to say that Swenle fulfilled the promise of his youth. WIFE WORE SOLDIER'S UNIFORM That "love will find a way" is again verified in the case of Mrs. Alma Bays, who is temporarily stopping at 220 North Liberty street, Baltimore, Md. In order to be near her soldier husband, who had been ordered to the Philippines, Mrs. Bays, then a bride of less than a year, donned a soldier's uniform and traveled half way across the Pacific on an army transport crowded with men. Ft. Thomas, Ky., was the scene of the beginning of Mrs. Bay's romance for there she met and married Bays, who was a musician, attached to the Sixth Infantry. Later the regiment was sent to Ft. Sam Houston, near San Antonio, Texas, and was stationed there when the cable brought the news of Dewey's victory. Less than two weeks later the regiment was ordered to Manila. The plan to accompany her husband was made up almost as soon as the orders came. From the regimental quartermaster was obtained a regulation uniform to fit Mrs. Bays, and when the special trains carrying the regiment moved westward for San Francisco, Mrs. Bays was on board. The trip to San Francisco was uneventful, but it was only with considerable difficulty that she was smuggled aboard the transport. Then her troubles began to multiply, for officers were moving constantly about the ship. "The men who were in the secret," said Mrs. Bays, "kept near me, and when inspections were ordered, I was generally stowed away under a lot of saddle bags and blankets. For a week everything went along well, but as we neared Honolulu one of the regimental surgeons happened to see me and the secret was out. I was ordered out, and as soon as we reached Honolulu was sent ashore, and came back to this country on the next ship. Another lady, who went with her husband just as I did, escaped detection and was carried all the way to Manila." Mrs. Bays never saw her husband again after bidding him goodbye in Honolulu. He went on with his regiment, which was later stationed on the island of Negros, and one day white in bathing he was ambushed by the natives and killed. She is a Virginia woman, coming from a good family which lives near Lynchburg—Cincinnati Enquirer. CALLED DOWN KITCHENER Lord Kitchener is celebrated for his stern and exacting manner and his subordinates are apt to shake in their boots when "K. of K." comes along inspecting their boots. But on one occasion even the redoubtable conqueror of the Soudan met his match and proved the fine quality of his nature by acknowledging the fact. It was in the days when the railway was being driven across the desert to Khartoum. A young Canadian officer of engineers was in charge of the work, which was progressing satisfactorily, when one morning the slidar (as Kitchener was then) appeared on the scene and expressed his disapproval of certain features of the work with his usual scaithing brevity. The young officer scathed until his chief had finished and then quietly inquired, "Am I bossing this railway, sir, or are you?" Kitchener looked at him, recognized the breed as one after his own heart, nodded his approval and went away.—London Tattler. A good story is told in the English papers of how the Somali Mad Mullah worked one of those "miracles" which drew many warriors to his banner. An English man-of-war was sent to demonstrate off the coast, and at night threw a scarchlight onto the jungle-covered mountains. Abdullah was in hiding there, and knowing from his visits to Aden what it was that his followers hailed as a new star, told them that the light was seeking him. When the electric rays actually flooded his encampment he cried in triumph: "Will you deny now that I am under the eyes of God?" The Somali fell on their knees; beat the earth with their foreheads and replied: "Thou art truly the Elect, the Chosen, the Mullah, the Master. Our goods, our existence, our souls belong to thee. We place ourselves entirely at the disposition of thy will." A few weeks later came the news of the rising of some 4000 of these Somali, New York Tribune. Her Justification: Very few women deceive a husband without making themselves believe it is for his own good that they do it. New York Press. FOR THE AIR SHE HAS 4000 GODFATHERS. Princess Henry of Prussia, whose recent indisposition caused so much anxiety, is the goddaughter of about 4000 soldiers, besides those relatives who stood sponsors for her. The multiplicity of godfathers came about through the wish of Prince Louis of Hesse, who asked all the officers and men of the Hessian regiments serving under him in the war of 1866 to stand godfathers to his little girl. NOURISH THE ROOTS. Draid the hair loosely in one strand at night and try to study out several different ways of plining it up by day, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Hair should not be worn tightly twisted and pinned, nor steadily, for any great length of time, in one style. Lightweight and very open-toothed combs should be employed in making the pompadour, and night and morning, when arranging the hair, dip the dressing comb several times in clear water. In a climate where there is little moisture in the air it is a positive necessity to dampen the locks frequently. The hair is nourished as much by what one eats as the blood and flesh, and many hair specialists treat it through the stomach instead of paying local attention to the scalp. Brown bread, cracked wheat, plain, boiled vegetables, mutton and a simple dietary in every respect are advised. Beautiful, soft, bright hair cannot be grown from a diet of fine, boiled flour bread, cake and salads. If one wants a fine head of hair one must eat with due regard to the albumen and gelatine required for color and softness. In the spring a dose of sulphur is a good thing, and from time to time prunes and spinach and crabberries must be taken to supply the proper amount of iron needed. UMBRELLA HANDLES. Umbrella handles this season are very beautiful and very expensive. They come in all kinds of new art designs worked out in gold, silver, shaded enamel and gun metal. The handsomest ones are to be found at the jewelers' and come put up in a case with the tips and ferrite to be mounted to order. Studies in dancing girls, sea nymphs and flowers are carried out in the merals mentioned. A garlanded column forms the main piece of an up-to-date handle, with a girl's figure done in pale tinted enamels, the swirling skirt being gracefully fashioned. Ivory in several tints is the foundation of the most expensive umbrella handle of the season. Many of these are made symbole of popular sports, such as automobiling, hunting and fishing. Brown is the fashionable shade for umbrellas, with green pressing it hard. Red and blue are still favorites, but the durable black is always to the fore when service is in requisition. The summer sunshade is perfectly gorgeous. No other word expresses its filmy beauty and costliness. It is the ambition of every woman to have a parasol made expressly for her, and to further this end all sorts of odd and lovely affairs are made. Orchids, represented in different shade of mauve, are original; also artichokes and any flower one fancies. Even leather is used as a material in some of the more substantial parasols, and they are extremely fetching—Washington Star. COMMON SENSE SKIRTS Elsie De Wolfe may not be a great actress, but she has earned the gratitude of everybody save the doctors by advocating the short skirt for women in business. Miss De Wolfe is supposed by the press agent to be an authority on fashion, and if she can help on the vogue of dresses which clear the street she will have done so much good that she is fairly entitled to the free advertising—like this—which she gets out of it. She is said to have posted on her call board a rule that all the women of her company shall go to the theatre in short skirts. In explanation she said that she was forced to adopt such a rule when her company was on the road to protect the health of her acceses; that railroad stations, sidewalks and theatres in small towns were so dirty that not until she established the reign of short skirts were the members of her company to be depended upon. The actress added that the only woman who had any business to wear a long skirt on the street was the woman who rode in her carriage; that is, the woman who has no business and so is privileged to humor her whims. The women who ride in carriages here are a minority that do not count, so far as street fashions go. The long skirt, which was made for them in Paris, is adopted here by women who must walk or ride in street cars, under the impression that when they wear carriage dresses people cannot tell them from women who have carriages. After they have worn their long skirts about twice on the street the distinction is clear to the most unobservant. After a gown has been trailed through the mud for a fortnight the sense of smell reveals the fact that if it was made for a carriage it never saw the inside of one. The long skirt in this country is a silly affection. Perhaps it has some subtle connection with the notion that because an American woman who walks is "just as good" as the one who rides she ought to wear the same clothes. Sensible women ought to quit it. If the women who have plenty of places for their trained gowns would keep them carefully off the street perhaps their sisters for whom the big stores are their chief parade ground would follow the good example.—Brooklyn Eagle. Bovdoir CHAT: The office of Superintendent of Public Instruction in Colorado is held by a woman. The salary is $2000. Queen Helena of Italy has a strong passion for flowers, and has many that are natives of her Monteegro home transplanted to the milder climate of Italy. An American girl, Dr. Annie G. Lyle, has been appointed assistant to Professor Erhech in the University of Vienna. Professor Erhech is a noted specialist in the diseases of children. Mrs. Lee C. Harby, of Charleston, S.

Fifty-three years ago France began giving medals to women for bravery in war time. Since then thirty-three decorations have been bestowed on brave women. The first to be decorated was Jennie Rossini, on June 7, 1839. The California State Federation is vigorously pushing the long-restled claim of the Fremont heirs, in behalf of the-daughter of the great explorer. The death of Mrs. Fremont, whose pension ceased with her life, left the daughter almost penniless. A Chicago woman, Mrs. M. H. Knowles, has been honored by the French Government, which has bestowed upon her the much coveted decoration, "Les Palmes Academiques." This was for her work in fostering the study of the French language in America. Mrs. Julius L. Brown, of Atlanta, Gn., has secured, unaided, pledges, from over 2000 women of her State that they will not in future use the plumage of wild birds on their hats or bonets. Through her efforts over 2500 of the school children of Atlanta have subscribed to a pledge not to harm or annoy wild birds. Four-year scholarships at the Syracuse University have been secured by Miss Ethel Mensch and Miss Emma Paulkner, both of Delaware. Both young women were clerks in the bathing pavilion at Ocean Grove, near New York City, and one day rendered some special service to Professor Scott, of the faculty at Syracuse, who rewarded them with scholarships. There is a woman in Greater New York who has built up a large trade by decorating old furniture. She takes the pieces and repairs them, finding she can get more artistic effects than the regular upholsterer. At first she worked on a commission basis with a second-hand man, but she has now developed such a thriving business that she is able to hire a ground floor flat, and says she has all the work she can take care of. Never were parasols so elaborate. In dress gloves many women still prefer the soft suede. Lonk silk gloves show handsome lace appliques in the long arm part. Though white is more modish a black glove is always effective with a black costume. Royal copper has invaded the wrist bags, with fish scale and coat-of-mall designs as popular as ever. Turquoise and phk-tourmaline in alternation furnish a pretty color scheme in the decoration of gilt purse frames. Walrus leather belts, gilded or silvered, have silver or gold clasps in the back and harness buckles in the front. Art nouveau and floral designs are in the lead for belt and sash pins, and their variety and beauty is almost bewildering. Exquisitely graceful are some of the flower forms in pins and brooches, achieved, by means of pearls set on very slender gold stems. Moussseau foulard is the name given to a gauzy mixture of silk and linen. One of the dahntest pieces is in pale gray, striped and dotted with white. A stunning new hat is of white malline. The up-rolling brim is draped with Irish croquet lace, and brim and crown are trimmed with clusters of green, black and white daisies. Front tabs are newer and therefore more used this year than the erstwhile prominent postillon back. These front tabs are sometimes of the material to march the belt and sometimes a metal ornament. In ornamentation fish-eye pearl button effects are much liked, while studied Oriental metal trimmings appear upon many of the most desirable girdles. Cut-steel ornaments are also in high favor on belts of black elastic. One of the prettiest new wrist bags has square corners and is flat. It is of green suede mounted with gold frame, huge gold bals for clasps and gold chain. The same gold mountings finish a walrus wrist bag of the same shape. In line with the prevailing craze for pendant effects all sorts of hanging ornaments are observed on the season's belts—chains, fancy bell buttons, tassels, both silk and metal; knobs, both plain and jeweled, etc.—mostly in military effect.

Tell him what you want the road Tell how his tongue can serve the need To get them out at such a speed Is quite astounding. I ask him for a basket to accommodate replies. In other words, I beg that he will hear me. He listens to each answer with a pair of roving eyes. For some things he plainly see, has awakened his surprise. And all his thoughts are far away. And nothing I can do or say Will keep them near me. From bud to bud of knowledge like a butterfly he goes. And lingers not around them for a minute. But off again, unsatisfied, to find another rose. And if you meet Alphonso and will ask what he knows. He'll answer or you thoughtless look. Then glancing through his "wisdom book." Find nothing in it. Now those who will ask questions should be patient for replies. And an old you find Alphonso, please to mention. That wisdom asks for knowledge or it never would be wise. But waits to hear the answer ere it seeks a new surprise. Do well who treasures the harvest fair. That truth is keeping everywhere. Must pay attention. -Chicago Record-Herald. PAPER GAS WORKS. TOUCH HOTTED MART TO JET OF GAS. CONE OF PAPER SET FOR TO THE JET. - Twist a large piece of wrapping paper into a cone and make a small hole in the side near the point. Hold it with the mouth obliquely downward and set fire to the rim. A jet of gas produced, by the distillation of the paper will issue from the small hole and will burn if a lighted match is put to it. HOW SNAKES SPEND WINTER. The snakes are retiring for the winter now, but they make little preparation for their long sleep. They simply crawl into holes in the ground, fissures in rocks, or beneath the roots of trees, and there remain in a tethered condition until the warmth of spring awakens them. Sometimes a lot of them gather in a hole some distance from the surface of the ground, roll themselves into one large ball, and thus pass the winter. Such a ball is sometimes composed of hundreds of snakes so closely interwoven as to be quite difficult to separate.—Woman's Home Companion. INGRATITUDE. "Yes, Towscer, after I've served this family faithfully for ten years they've gone and bought a phonograph."—New York Journal. TO MAKE A PAPER STAR. The five-pointed star which is seen upon the uniforms of military men is called in geometry the regular pentagon star. Its construction with the aid of the rule and compass is long and complicated, so complicated, in fact, that the description of the process would be useless. But for those who wish to make the star quickly there is a better way. Take a simple band of paper in which make a knot as indicated in the two figures on the left of the design. At the top is seen the commencement of the knot. Then draw it, holding the band of paper very flat and fold it following the lines A E and C D. There is thus obtained in a twinkling the ordinary regular pentagon A B C D E. If now it be folded so that the edge C F takes the direction A E, and then the pentagon be placed before the window or in front of a light, the charming star of five points will appear in the transparency, owing to the differences in the thicknesses of the paper. FLOATING SPIRAL BOTTLE OF SOAP SURG A spiral of fine wire will float if it is well oiled and laid gently on the surface of water. Then if a drop of a strong solution of soap is applied to the centre the spiral will make several turns in the direction shown by the arrow—that is, in the direction in which a clock spring turns when it is being wound up. When the motion has ceased the application of another drop of soapsuds will renew it and the process may be repeated many times. Alcohol or strong distilled liquor may be used instead of soapsuds with similar results. ROPE DANCER. Cut out of cardboard and color the figure of the dancer and fasten it by one foot with sealing wax to the head of a large needle, the point of which is stuck in a cardboard circle as close as possible to the stage. Out of a larger piece of cardboard cut a circular hole of just twice the diameter of the first card. If the small card is placed within the hole in the large one and made to roll around, its edge it will be seen that the needle and the figure move in a straight line along a diameter of the large circle and that the danger turns completely round once during each complete trip back and forth. If a thread is stretched just behind the figure on a level with her toes she will appear to be dancing to and fro upon it. In general the line (called a hypocycloid) which is described by a point in the circumference of one circle rolling inside of another is a more or less complicated curve, but it becomes a straight line when one circle is just half the size of the other.

About one-half of the population of the world depends upon rice as its main food supply. If we look, however, at maps showing the distribution of cereal crops we shall find a great difference between the distribution of rice and that of other grains. We shall see that maize, wheat, rye, oats and barley are scattered over wide areas covering, perhaps, the half of continents. The rice areas, on the contrary, appear small and patchy. They lie in long, narrow bands among the margins of the sea or in river valleys. The reason is, of course, that they are confined to low swampy districts where paddy fields may easily be flooded. Nowhere does rice spread out over areas of wide extent except in southern Asia, where the extensive low lands are flooded or the valleys among the mountains are irrigated with infinite care. Within the past four years the dream of a few theorists has been realized on the plains of Texas, and in 1902 over 210,000 acres around Houston yielded 2,500,000 bags of marketable rice, worth $8,000,000. In 1891 the year after the rice boom struck Texas, 80,000 acres were in rice in the neighborhood of Houston, and this year it is expected that 300,000 acres will be planted, all of it land that five years ago was worth only $1 or $2 an acre for grazing and could produce only four or five bushels of grain to the acre. Costly irrigation has wrought this transformation. It has been proved that the very best of rice crops can be raised on these prairie lands by spreading water over them and that the industry pays a large profit. A few years ago that part of our southern coastal plain which might easily be flooded was producing only about one-half the rice consumed by our people. We are still importing rice, but at the same time we are selling our home product in Hawaii, Porto Rico, Cuba, Mexico and Central and South America; and agents of the Rice Association of America are looking to Europe for a market, confident that before very long we shall be able not only to fill the home demand, but also to contribute important quantities to foreign markets that are now dependant upon Burmah, Slam and Cochin China. In five years we have increased the home product nearly one-half. We are changing the nature of our rice imports, which are now largely of the lower grades known as "brewer's rice," used in the manufacture of beer. Rice culture on lands that can be flooded only artificially was the problem of Texas; and its triumphant solution is turning a region of scanty production into very profitable farming lands—New York Sun. PREVENTING FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE. Frequent outbreaks of the cattle epidemic have occurred in Germany, and more experience has been gained than in most sections. A recent authority believes that the most important operations are immediate removal of affected animals, and nutritious dieing of animals which have been exposed. For the purpose of preventing the disease it is urged that susceptible animals be rendered as resistant as possible by keeping them in a healthy and well nourished condition, and that the virus of foot and mouth disease be kept attenuated or be destroyed by abundance of fresh air and direct sunlight. In other words, well fed cows in a sunny, alrty stable are less likely to take the disease, or, for that matter, any other disease. AMERICAN RICE.

J. CRAIG, General Passenger Agent, Wilmington, N. C. H. LEAHY, Passenger Agent, Savannah, Ga. Founder of the Smithsonian Institute James Smithson, Englehman, who founded the Smithsonian Institution in Washington; died in 1829, and was buried there. The memery wherein his bones lie he abandoned, and the land's treasures as a stone quarry. All the coins in it are to be removed. The agents of the Smithsonian propose that James Smithson's remains shall be brought to this country and reinthe. So in the grounds of the institution which is so noble a monument to its founder, James Smithson was the natural son of Hugh Smithson, who became Duke of Northumberland. From the family of his mother, a we'll born woman, he inherited a fortune. He became a noted scientist with a strong political preference for republic institutions. He never married, and when he died nearly all his estate "to the United States of America to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men." The money, £104,960, was sent to the United States in 1835, and the institution was established by Congress in 1846. Smithson once wrote: "The best blood of England flows in my veins. On my father's side I am a Northumberland, on my mother's I am related to kings; but this avails me not. My name small live. In the memory of man when the titles of the Northumberlandlands and the Percys are extinct and forgotten." He hitched his wagon to the right star and his goaetac is well on the way towards fulfilment. Graham Bell, one of the Regents of the Smithsonian, strongly advocates bringing them over seas, and has offered to pay the expenses of removal.-Harper's Weekly. WINDOW GARDENS. A window-garden will transform the plainest room into an attractive abiding place. Delicate plants and flowers with their graceful foliage and delicious, subtile perfume have charms impossible to furniture or decoration. Their freshness and fragrance permeate the atmosphere and effect not only the physical senses, but also the mind. A delicate add artistic plant that grows the year round is the asparagus fern. It grows luxuriously in dry or moist atmosphere and produces long, graceful, feathery fonds from 12 to 15 inches long. Another standby is the begonia, of which there is a variety of shades, from the vivid coral to the pale and brilliant plinka. The gloxinia is another decorative plant for the window. The blossom is trumpet shaped, and the icaves are very handsome. The plant is a dwarf and is very easily cultivated. The bulb should be planted in a 5-inch pot. Chinese lilies and white narcissus are planted in a 6-inch bowl of gravel and water for each bulb, and in a larger bowl if more than one are planted at a time. Hyacinths and jonquills are the force runners of spring and can flourish in narrower quarters than other plants. As many as five bulbs will grow in a 6-inch pot. The most fastidious, artistic temperament, as well as the more ordinary mortal, could not fail to admire a window box of delicate yellow jonquils peeping from a bed of green moss or surrounded by a fringe of green foliage. A few favorite plants for window boxes are the abutition, begonia, sweet alysum, fuchsia, ivy, geranium, mignonette, petunia and the new creeping latana.—American Queen.

Health Of Women Health and beauty are the glories of perfect womanhood. Women who suffer constantly with weakness peculiar to their sex cannot retain their beauty. Preservation of pretty features and rounded form is a duty women owe to themselves. When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation, weakness, loucorrhea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating (or fatulence), general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, "all gone" and "want-to-be-leaf-alone" feelings, blues, and hopelessness, they should remember there is, one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound removes such troubles. Case of this Prominent Chicago Woman Should Give Everyone Confidence in Lydia E. Pinkhara's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: It affords me great pleasure, indeed, to add my testimonial to the great number who are today praising Lydia E. Plinkham's Vegetable Compound. Three years ago I broke down from excessive physical and mental strain. I was unable to secure proper rest, also lost my appetite, and I became so nervous and irritable too that my friends trembled, and I was unable to attend to my work. Our physician prescribed for me, but as I did not seem to improve, I was advised to go away. I could neither spare the time nor money, and was very much worried when, fortunately, one of my club friends called. She told me how she had been cured of ovarian troubles, and how like my symptoms were to hers, seven bottles of your medicine cured her, and she insisted that I take some.

I will say that I have never seen a Well Drilling Machine that would equal the "Chip" Machine for the country. It is the largest machine in earth or rock that ever seen, and I am well pleased with it. I have had no trouble with it since parties willing to have the Well Machinery Jarties BUILDING to buy the Kind of Wool Machinery from LOUIS MACHINE TITAN Cotton THE FARMER'S DOG. It goes without saying that a farm is incomplete without a dog. Since he is so important to the farm, I would ask, is he properly cared for and housed. He needs shelter as well as cattle and sheep, though he is but a dog. The dog is quick to discern the difference between a harsh and a kind word. Continual use of harsh language makes him indifferent and unmindful of what you want him to do. It is therefore imperative to use kind words always. When he does a praiseworthy act, pat him on the head, and reward him with one or two kind words, and you will soon notice a great difference. Never kick or cuff a dog. If he needs severe punishment, use a willow or a peach switch upon him, and it will prove far more effective. Be patient with a young dog. He can't learn it all in a day. When the dog is old enough to be trained, it is well not to allow anyone else to attempt to teach him anything. The dog soon learns to understand you, if you repeat your commands in the same tones, using the same words. Others, however, will use different words and perhaps violence, thus confusing the animal and causing him to forget what you have taught him. A dog can be trained for several years after he has attained his growth, hence there is no need of beginning when he is very young. Professional dog trainers often pick up big dogs and teach them to do wonderful tricks. There are several good breeds of dogs that are useful on the farm. The collie, or a cross of this and some variety of watch dog, will serve more different purposes than any other. The collies certainly have collapsed nearly all other varieties in intelligence, and if money is a measure of value, they also stand quite well at the top.—American Agriculturist. The Lost Fraction of Time. If one grain of sand on the shore of the ocean were lost, and scientists were to spend years in trying to find it, they would be attempting a task resembling that to which the leading astronomers of England and France are now devoting themselves. One sixteenth of a second is missing, and no one can tell where it has gone. Between the sun's time as recorded at Greenwich and as understood at Paris, there is that brief and seemingly unimportant discrepancy. No expense is being spared to trace the missing fraction. A special building has been erected at Paris, costly instruments installed, a corps of mathematicians engaged, and a process that may take years to complete has been commenced. The inaccuracy is more important than will appear to the lay mind. Longitude is calculated on the basis of Greenwich time. It determines the boundaries of many countries. A slight variation of time may change the nationalities of thousands of people. The pursuit of the missing fraction of a second $f_2$ therefore, of world-wide importance. When it is found not a grain of the sands of time will be missing.—Tid-Bits. HANDICAPPED "Why did Miss Specle refuse to clope with you?" "She declared that she could not bear the odor of gasolene."

Mise Camilla Chartier, 5 West Lexington St., Baltimore, Md., writes: "Late suppers gradually affected my digestion and made me a miserable dyspeptic, suffering intensely at times. I took several kinds of medicine which were prescriptions but still continued to suffer. But the trial of one bottle of Peruna convinced me that it would rid me of this trouble, so I continued taking it for several weeks and I was an excellent health, having gained ten pounds." -Miss Catarh. Charter. Summer Catarrh. Mrs. Kate Hohn, 1109 Willoughby Ave., Brooklyn. "When I wrote you I was troubled with frequent headaches, dizzy, strange feelings in the head, sleeplessness, sinking feelings, painfulness and numbness. Since I came to the office I found food wounds my throat after every meal, and my bowels were very irregular. "I wrote you for advice, and I now take pleasure in forming that relationship in a very indeed. I did not expect to improve so quickly after suffering for five long years. I am feeling FINING HIM "I am undone." said the hero. "That's all right," replied the vilain in a sibilant, hissing whisper, "I'll soon do you up again."

JAR A. LANIAM. The Way It Goes. "It was over-at Allegash, the other day, for the first time. In four years," said the Kohack Pililosopher, just a bit sarcastically, "and I found my nephew, Luther, and his estimable wife still squabbling over the same question that they were quarrelling about when I was there before. The only change that I was able to detect" was that, while in the first place they appeared to know what they were jangling about, by this time they seemed to have forgotten what the original bone of contention was, and were quarrelling monotonously along without any way of knowing when they had finished. "Well, when my appearance interrupted them, Luther was startled to see how much thinner I had grown in four years, and his wife was astonished at the way I had, grown fat. And at it they went, quarrelling over that, and the original question was shelved for good and all. I came away feeling amply repaid for taking the trip. It is a satisfaction to know that you have done a helpful act, and I expect I did them a great favor by breaking the monotony, and giving them something to wrangle over."—June Smart Set.
