HORROR IS NOW IN OREGON! Town Whelmed by Cloudburst and Hundreds Find Watery Grave. VOL. XVIII. HORROR IS NO Town Whelmed b Hundreds Find MAY REACH FIVE HUNDRED Gigantic Avalanche of Water Swooped Down Upon Victims Without Warning. One-Third of Population of Little Vill age of Heppner Sent to Their Doom—Besides the Dead, Over Two Hundred are Injured—A Diro Calamity. Following a cloudburst, a wall of water 20 feet high rushed down the gulch of Willow creek at dusk Sunday and urowned nearly half of 1,250 inhabitants of the little village of Heppner, Oregon. The furious water carried the residence part of Heppner away. So great was the force of the water that bewilders weighing a ton were rolled along the gulch, crushing everything in their path. Wires, bridges and railroads were swept away and complete reports have not been received. The most reliable reports, however, say that the loss of life at Heppner will be at least 500, though the number of dead probably is larger. A report from June, 17 miles from Heppner, says that 300 bodies carried there by the flood have been recovered. The flood came with such suddenness that the inhabitants were unable to seek places of safety and were carried down to death by the awful rush of water. Some of the business part of Heppner, which is on the high ground, escaped. Early in the afternoon a thunder storm occurred, covering a wide region of country, and later a heavy rainstorm set in, many of the small streams overflowing their banks in a short time. Bridges were swept away like straw, and the darkness of the night soon made the situation more appalling. As soon as possible after the flood subsided the work of relief was begun by the surviving residents. Dozens of bodies were found lodged along the bends of the stream, and in several places they were piled two or three deep. Up to 2 o'clock Monday afternoon 200 bodies had been recovered within the town. Many of the buildings which were not carried away were moved from their foundations or toned over. Hundreds of horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, that had gone into the creek bottoms for water, perished. As soon as possible news was sent by courier to the nearby town asking relief for the stricken people. The Oregon Railway and Navigation Company started a relief train, with doctors and supplies, from The Dalles shortly after noon with a party of 100, including three doctors, four nurses and supplies of all kinds. At 1:30 o'clock Monday afternoon a relief train, with doctors and supplies, started for the scene from Portland. The citizens of Portland started a relief fund as soon as the news of the disaster spread over the city, and within a few hours $5,000 was raised. Supplies will be rushed to Heppner. Fifteen buildings in Lexington, 9 miles below Heppner, on Willow creek, were washed away, but no loss of life, the inhabitants having time to save themselves from the surging torrent. At Ione, 17 miles away, damage was done to buildings, though no loss of life is reported. All Houses Swept Away. Heppner is situated in the narrow valley of Willows creek. Advices to The Portland Chronicle stated that a great storm was raging Sunday afternoon at 5:30 and a cloudburst occurred a short distance above Hepp- TERROR REIGNS IN JACKSON. People of the Town New Fear Flames as Well as Bullets. The second wee kof court in Breathitt county, Kentucky, opened at Jackson, Monday, with a reign of terror. One term of court was overlapping another. While the petit jury continued hearing testimony in the murder, cases of Curtis Jett and Thomas White, the grand jury was hearing evidence in the cases of Josepr Crawford and Edward Tharpe, teamsters for the Hargis brothers, who are held on the charge of arson for burning the Ewen hotel. The Savannah ner and a wall of water like the Columbia river rushed down the valley. Had No Warning. The roar of the storm desensed the roar of the water and the people had no warning of the oncoming flood. Suddenly it rushed through the town, sweeping houses from their foundation and drowning the people in the wrecks of their own homes, the dead bodies and wreckage being borne down the valley. Scores are still unaccounted for. The food subsided quickly. The railway, telegraph and telephone lines were badly damaged in the valley. At Heppner the residents suffered most, though the business section was flooded. The county authorities are taking care of the sufferers. Besides the dead from 100 to 200 people are reported injured. JEWS CRY TO ROOSEVEL. Prominent Delegates from the B'Nal Brith Call at White House and Present Grievances. Through their representative association, B'Nal Brith, the Jews of America, Monday morning, laid the case before President Roosovelt and Secretary Hay. By appointment at half past 10 o'clock, the executive council of the association called at the state department. They were Leo N. Levy, president, of New York; Jacob Furt, vice president and treasurer, of Cleveland; Solomon Sulzberger, honorary secretary, New York; Joseph D. Coons, Wilkesbarre, Pa.; Adolph Moses, Chicago, and Simon Wolf, of Washington. Secretary Hay received the council and spent three-quarters of an hour listening to their representations and commenting upon them. Then the secretary escorted his callers to the white house, where they were received by President Roosevelt and again set out their views and listened to what he had to say in reply. The interviews with both the president and Secretary Hay were extremely satisfactory to the council, although it soon became apparent that positive action could not immediately be had upon the betterment of the condition of Jews in Russia. HAD PISTOL DURING TRIALS. Surprised Jailer at Elizabeth City. A special from Elizabeth City, N.C., says: Jim Wilcox, twice convicted of the murder of Nellie Cropsy, left the city Monday in charge of Sheriff F. T. Winslow, to begin his thirty years' sentence in the penitentiary at Raleigh. Previous to the arrival of the officers at the jail, he offered to sell the jailer a pistol, and, to the latter's amazement, took a thirty-eight caliber revolver from his pocket and fired three shots, then gave it to the jailer. He claims that he carried this pistol during both trials. It was fastened to his leg by his garter. SERVIANS ELECT NEW KING. Without a Ripple of Excitement, Peter of Jaw-Breaking Name, installed. With scarcely the excitement which marsk an ordinary fete day in the capital, Servia Monday instituted a new dynasty. Within less than two hours from the time of meeting in the wing of the royal palace where King Alexander and his queen were shot down, the senate and skupstina, in joint session, had legally and with due formality elected Prince Peter Karageorgeovitch king of Servia. Reward Offered for Cornwall The governor of Alabama has offered a reward of $300 for the arrest and delivery to Jefferson county jail of the defaulting Bessemer bank president, T. J. Cornwall, of Bessemer. WANT FRANCHISE LAW PROBED New York Republican Club Asks Congress to Make Investigation. At a meeting Monday night the Republican Club of New York took up the negro question and adopted resolutions urging congress to make speedy and thorough investigation into the conditions in the south where suffrage is abridged in violation of the amendments to the constitution of the United States and demanding that measures be taken at once to render these amendments effective. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1903. MRS. TANNER BOUND OVER. Young Woman Must Answer to Charge of Poisoning Husband The commitment trial of Mrs. Onie Tanner occupied the entire day at Galnesville, Ga., Saturday, in justice court, and the room was packed from the opening at 9 o'clock until the conclusion of the hearing at 5:30 in the afternoon, when the defendant was bound over to the superior court to answer to the charge of poisoning her husband on May 23 at their home in Clinchem district. A majority of the citizens of Clinchem district were present, either as witnesses or as interested spectators, and every word of the vast amount of testimony was cagely listened to. Especially was the testimony of State Chemist McCandless given close attention, as he went into details of the analysis he made of the stomach and vessels from which milk was poured. John Tanner, father of the young man who died, was the first witness, and he was put through an examination lasting for two hours. His testimony recited the details of his son's death, the conversation with Mrs. Onie Tanner relating thereto, and the investigations made by him into the cause of his son's death. He reiterated the confession Mrs. Tanner is alleged to have made to him and went into details as to when and how the alleged confession was made. Various other witnesses testified, but no new sensational evidence was brought out. At the conclusion of the argument in the case, Justice Dorsey bound Mrs. Tanner over to the superior court, holding that she was either guilty of murder or was as innocent as a babe, there being no middle ground upon which a compromise verdict could be reached and he deemed this the proper course for the case to take. Mrs. Tanner was taken to the county jail soon after the case was concluded. She was not placed in a cell, but was allowed the privilege of one of the rooms down stairs, in the building occupied by the sheriff's family. SUICIDED WITH DYNAMITE. Love-Lorn Crane Blows Himself to Quilty Breeding Rescue Scratch Quick Doom in a Passenger Coach. Joseph L. Crane, who resides at Rossville, Ga., committed suicide on a Central of Georgia train near Lafayette, Ga., Saturay afternoon about four o'clock in a most unusual manner. He went into the toilet room and there exploded a stick of dynamite, which frightfully mangled his body and blew out the rear end of the train. There was no one sitting near at the time and Crane was the only person on the train that suffered. Crane boarded the train at Cedartown, and was seemingly all right until Trion was reached. Here he was heard to say: "I am going to blow this train up and kill everybody." No particular attention was paid to him and in a few moments the man retired to the gentlemen's closet with a small satchel in his hand. Soon a deafening report was heard and for a few moments the most intense excitement prevailed. Investigation disclosed the fact that the man had exploded a dynamite shell in the closet, fearfully mangling his body and shattering the sides of the closet and a portion of a side of the car. "Written at Rome, by J. M. Crane, June 12, 1903. "Ty My Friends, and Relatives—I was born October 13, 1878. At date of this writing I am 24 years and 8 months of age. To be printed if any one wants to. "The cause of my death is I love Mrs. E. C. Adington, of Rossville, Ga. I love her dearly. Of course, I hate to have my people grieve over me, but it will not hurt them any worse for me to do this way than to take sick. "I have only got one time to die, and just as well this way as any, and I am ready to meet my Savior and God. To all my friends, I want to meet you in heaven. My dear mother, do not weep; I have gone to rest, to the heavenly rest. I am willing to die, perfectly willing, and hope I will meet my dear grandmothers and fathers and my dear mother and father in heaven. God bless and be with you all row and forever is my hearty prayer. JOSEPH M. CRANE." LEVEE GUARD KILLED. Riot Occurs In East St. Louis and Soldier Loses His Life. Shortly before midnight Saturday night a riot occurred in the eastern portion of East St. Louis, resulting in the killing of Clifford Hanley, of St. Louis, a member of the naval reserves, and in the arrest of John S. Bratton, a breeder of fine horses. Word was received in East St. Louis that a bang was at work cutting the levee near the Bratton stock farm. A crowd rushed to the scene and a riot followed. A company of naval reserves was hurried to the spot. Oyer a hundred shots were fired. GOD IS GIVEN PRAISE In Church of Servian Capital for Work of Assassins. A "TE DEUM" RENDERED Words of Prelate Gives Pleasure to Assassins Present—Deputation of Officials Go to Geneva After King Peter. Tuesday's advices from Belgrade, Servia, were as follows: The town is perfectly calm and quiet is apparently assured. Guns boomed frequently during the day in honor of King Peter, and the church bells rang merrily. The portraits of the late King Alexander are being removed from the walls of public places. Workmen have been busy at the palace removing all signs of the tragedy and repairing the damages caused by flying bullets, preparatory to the installation of the new ruler. It appears very unlikely that any official account of the crime will be published. The absence of all expression of regret among the educated classes is most striking, and leads to the conclusion that either the assassinations were extremely popular or the Servians are the most impassive people in the world. As a matter of fact, the whole country is governed by a few men and in general the peasantry are ignorant of the cause of the change. A deputation of the two chambers, composed of four senators and twenty deputies, headed by the presidents of the two houses, left Belgrade by special train Monday night for Geneva to inform King Peter of his election to the throne. The officers who have been appointed to attend the king went on the same train. Te Deum for the Butchery. The chamber met at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning and adjourned for the purpose of going to the cathedral, where a great thanksgiving service, including a "Te Deum" was celebrated. The ministers attended the service, which was carried out with all the gorgeous ceremonial of the Greek church. Half of the congregation was composed of army officers in full uniform. The ministers wore dress suits, and all their orders. The metropolitan, in a brief address, congratulated the nation on the restoration of the Karageorgeovitch dynasty, a dynasty which had included so many brave and noble men. While deploring the necessity for recent events, he thanked the army for what it had done and praised its behavior. The officers audibly expressed their pleasure at these remarks from the prelate, who concluded with invoking a blessing on King Peter and expressing the hope that under him Servia would enjoy peace and prosperity. Only a Royal Captive. The position of King Peter promises to be little more than that of a royal captive and the real government of the country will be a military dictatorship under the leaders of the revolution, Colonel Maschin and Colonel Mitschitch. The new king is almost without any personal adherents, and the ruling splits of the army, it is thought probable, would just as readily murder him as they did his predecessor, should he oppose their aims. At the present moment the whole country is under military rule. Minister Jackson Reports. The following cablegram was received at the state department Tuesday from United States Minister Jackson, at Belgrade, Servia: "Prince Karageorgeovitch has been elected king. Delegation to notify him has been selected. Perfect quiet prevails." Mr. Jackson, who went to Belgrade to present his credentials to the late King Alexander, will now be under the necessity of awaiting the arrival of fresh credentials from Washington directed to King Peter. COLLECTOR CRUM NOT IN. Was Called on to Play Host in His Official Capacity. Dr. W. D. Crum, Charleston's negro collector, was called on Tuesday to play host in his official capacity for the first time since he has been in office, but was not present to receive his and the nation's guests. The German cruiser Gazelle is off Charleston. Her commander, Count von Oriola, was paying official visits Tuesday. In person he called on Mayor Smith and he sent Captain Turk, of his staff down to the custom house to call on the collector. Dr. Crum was not in, and Captain Turk left a card. A GREAT PRODUCTION. The Original Paly's Last Days of Pompeil at Atlanta. In the great production of "The Last Days of Pompeil," Mr. H. J. Palh "The Fireworks King," presents all of the magnificent effects, those weirdly beautiful and grandly terrifying features of a volcanic eruption. The clouds of flame, smoke and ashes! The floods of red hot lava which are belched from the volcano's crater and falling form incandescent rivers down its towering sides; the thunderous noise of the mountain, the incessant earthquake shocks and the falling of immense quantities of material completely burying the doomed city, while the gaily dressed multitude rush hither and thither in a mad but ineffective effort to escape. "The Last Days of Pompeii," as given by Pain, has been witnessed by millions of people in Europe, and hundreds of thousands in America. The gay, rich city of A. D. 79 is beautifully pictured on thousands of square yards of scenery; actual buildings of ancient style of architecture occupy the foreground, while Vesuvius towers above in the distance; the many people on the picturesque streets of Pompeii, await the arrival of the grand procession and the commencement of the day's sports in honor of Isis, their favorite goddess. Vesuvius frowns placidly on the scene below; now and then a little smoke emerges, but the sight is too common for serious thought from the people, who are wholly given to pleasure. A trumpet sounds the approach of the grand pageantry, marching Roman soldiers, followed by slaves with banners and trophies; dancing girls, senators, noblemen under canopies, fan-bearers and slaves, gladiators, big circus acts and musicians; the whole forming one of the most beautiful pictures ever presented. A big military band will render the incidental and other music. At the conclusion of each exhibit, Pain, the king of all pyrotechnics, will make a special display of his celebrated Manhattan Beach Fireworks, introducing the latest novelties and effects, both aerial and aquatic. Special excursions have been arranged on all railroads, and cheap rates have been made whereby all may avail themselves of the opportunities thus offered to visit Atlanta and witness this great spectacle. SON PROTECTED HIS MOTHER. Dg. T. J. Buchan, a prominent citizen and physician of Eastman, Ga., was shot and killed by his son, Ogletree, Sunday morning at 9 o'clock. The coroner held an inquest and the jury brought in a verdict of justifiable homicide. In his statement the son said he was in an adjoining room and heard his father threaten to shoot his mother. A moment later he heard a scuffle. He looked up and saw his father and mother scuffling for a pistol that was in his mother's hand, she seemingly trying to get the pistol out of the way. He said when he first saw them his father had one arm around his mother's neck and was reaching for the weapon. She called to him for help, and when he got in about three feet of them his father succeeded in getting the weapon and pressed it to his mother's breast. Quick as a flash the boy drew his revolver and fired at his father, the bal entering the heart and causing instant death. RAILROADS ARE HARD HIT. Mississippi Commission Makes Enor- ginal License to Acquire mous increase in Assessment. The Mississippi railroad commission, Monday, made a three-million Collar increase in the assessment of railroads operating in the state. The railroad assessment last year was $30,709,611 and the increase in mileage during the past year has been 137.8 miles. All of the roads are expected to protest against the raises made. The main lines of the trunk systems were increased from $13,000 to $15, 000 per mile, and the increase on branch lines and minor roads average from $500 to $2,000 per mile. BODIES FOUND IN MUD.

Other bodies found during the day were those of Mrs. Nellie Watson, Mrs. Minnie Prayers and George McDougal. ONLY PRIVATE SNAP Proctor Reports on Crookedness in Postal Department. PUBLIC INTEREST WAS NIT Chairman of the Civil Service Commission Gives Some Hard Raps to High Officials of the Department. A Washington special says: Chairman Proctor, of the civil service commission, on last Saturday, submitted to Postmaster General Payne the report made by the commission, at the request of the postmaster general, with reference to the charge of violation of the civil service regulations in the Washington postoffice. The inquiry covered the following points: (1) Whether all of the employees outside the force of carriers were regularly in the service and entitled to their positions; (2) whether the civil service rules had been observed in the employment and assignment of laborers, and (3) whether there had been a general observance of the civil service law and rules in the administration of the Washington postoffice during the incumbency of the present postmaster. In addition to the report proper, a transcript of the testimony taken, Mr. Proctor presented a summary of the findings. This summary conclude, in part, as follows: "A departure from the observance of the civil service rules appears in the promotion of certain employees in the Washington postoffice which have been directed by the department, although reports of efficiency are neither requested nor received by the department. "The information disclosed by the investigation seems to warrant the statement that appointments to classified positions in the Washington postoffice without examination, by the method of appointment in small unclassified offices, or in offices about to be consolidated, and subsequent transfer, and the appointments of those laborers who were appointed and separated during the administration of the present postmaster, show a wide departure in policy from a strict regard for the public interest and afford indications that the department used the Washington office for political and personal purposes to an extent which left the authority of the postmaster in transfers and appointments of this sort but little more than nominal and placed the office in many respects in the relation of a bureau to the department. Directed by High Officials. "The investigation seems to show clearly that most of the irregularities herein mentioned were directed by the department, or requested or suggested by high departmental officials, and in either case came to the postmaster with all the force of a direction. "The investigation indicates that the employees who entered the service by transfer and without examination are, in general, inferior to those appointed through competition. Rural Free Delivery Service. Rural Free Delivery Service. "Nearly all of the clerks and messengers in the rural free delivery service who were covered into the classified service were in positions in Washington, D. C. One hundred and thirty-three of them were appointed prior to July 1, 1901; twenty-six were appointed in the four months immediately preceding the classification and fifty-six were appointed in the twenty-six days preceding classification. How many of these were appointed for reasons other than the needs of the service, it is, of course, impossible for the commission to determine, but that the service was packed with employees in the interests of the individuals is indicated by the fact that the number of appointments in the month of the classification was more than twice as great as for the preceding four months. "The appointments made under the circumstances above set forth resulted in a congestion of the service, and when a reduction is to be made the employees appointed for political or personal considerations are cared for, sometimes at the expense of persons appointed upon merit and without influence. In relieving the branches of the service thus crowded with employees, transfers are made to other parts of the service, to the injury, of eligibles in line for appointment by reason of their ascertained fitness." Three men, three boys and a woman were killed and a number of persons were injured as the result of a fire at a whisky distillery in Glasgow, Scotland. Thousands of casks of spirits exploded, bringing down a wall adjoining. The victims were hurled beneath the debris. The Savannah Tribune. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W. St. Julian Street. Ga. Phone 574. The paonage system is common in several parts of this section. But little can be expected, of the man or woman who does or says aught against race enterprises. Let the progressive sentiment pervade the breast of every young man. The old ones are not precluded. The Afro-American Council will meet in Louisville, Ky., July 1, 2, and 3, next. A large gathering is expected. We have strong friends in this country who do not fall to speak out in our behalf. For these friends we are ever grateful. The young man with pride will endeavor to better his condition by either saving a part of his earnings or secure property. The Negro Business League is doing much good. Wherever there is one organized, the people are taught to patronize race enterprises More of the business men of this city should join the local league. If fifty per cent. of the lodges and various organizations of the city would give their deposits to the Wage Earners savings department this company would in a few months time give employment to no less than a half dozen of our young men and women. LAST week THE TRIBUNE contained an article about the semislavery condition that exists at the camps of the McRea of Lowndes county. To this deplorable state of affairs the attention of the United States Court of this district is called. Judge Speer is too just to allow such a state of affairs to exist in his district and it is hoped that he will have steps taken to apprehend the guilty parties. Muon discussion so being made over the Dick bill. Under this bill the militia of the country is being reorganized. Many southerners, especially a few in this city are against it, because they say that it gives too much power to the President, or it may be the means of giving colored troops the ascendancy over them. Such assertions are for effect only. The colored troops have endorsed the Dick bill and readily enlist under its provisions. In this matter they are joined by ninety-five per cent. of the white troops of the state. EFFORTS have been made and are being made to have all of the societies of the city do away with the use of carriages at funerals. The step in a wise one. It is useless for these societies to spend large sums of money at each funeral they attend simply for carriages when they can reach the cemetery for the outlay of a few dollars. These societies should not only do away with the carriages but also encourage its members to have more race pride by patronizing business conducted by members of the race. Instead of having their savings in banks that discriminate, they should patronize their own. ON Sunday morning last Rev. T. B. Lillard at the First Congregational church preached a sermon to young men on the subject "Quit you like men be strong." It was along just such lines that the pastors of every church should occasionally preach. Our present needs are for strong young men, men with pride and progressiveness, young men who will not falter but press forward even in the face of defeat, young men who have much love for their race. Rev. Lillard's sermon was a timely one and, nothing but the highest enconiums have been paid him by all who heard the sermon. O. E. S. in Americus. Pearl Chapter No. 28, O. E. S., of Americus, turned out in full on last Sunday in honor of their third anniversary. Quite a crowded house was present to witness the exercises.

Hill and Royal Matron Mrs. Minnie Harris. "Guide me O Thon great Jehovah," was sang; prayer by Bro. L. B. Hill. The grand honors were given. Address by Bro. I. W. Smith. The Grand Royal Matron Mrs. Viola Hart, spoke on the origin of the Order of the Eastern Star which made all feel proud of the Order, and insist that every mother should begin to let the Star shine in their homes among their little ones, that the light may be seen at all times. The annual sermon was preached by Elder G. W. F. Phillips and he gave the Star one of his best. All present returned home with new inspiration. Unien Baptist Church.

E church was announced to have preached on last Sunday at 11 a. m., but for some cause left just as Rev. Newton was reading the morning lesson so it became Rev. Newton's duty to deliver the morning sermon though unprepared for the task. He delivered one of the best discourses. At the close of the service Bro. S. J. Howard, announced to the congregation that Rev. Newton on account of failing health has a leave of absence from Bishop Turner and had resigned from St. Philips church as its pastor. The announcement was quite a surprise to the members of the church. Rev. Newton made remarks, stating nothing but falling health the cause of his leaving and thought by taking a sea voyage to Brazil some three thousand miles away it might restore his health. Rev. Newton complimented the church and its officers on the good treatment he had received since being his pastor. Rev. Newton preached his farewell sermon on Tuesday night to a large crowd. Rev. F. R. Sims of Gaines Church.tery street, will take charge Tuesday night and will be pastor of the St. Philips church until the annual conference which will meet in Savannah in December next at St. Philips Monumental church New street.

The concert given at Duffy street hall on Wednesday for the benefit of St. Philips church under the management of Mr. J. A. Nelson was quite a success. The usual services will be held on Sunday.

Newton, on account of failing health has tendered his resignation the same being accepted on above conditions by the Bishop; and we as officers, and members will very much feel the loss of such a wise and safe leader, in the person of Rev.

It is thought the high heel decreases, the ap- nt size of the foot. high heels are more generally wornaris than in any other city in the d; but in Vienna, where they much in vogue some time ago, the r-made costume has been the as of bringing in the square heel. THE HEAD. ough the collures are still picture, they are neater and closer than were a few months ago, and many are parting the hair in the face. Wise people adapt the fashion their own requirements, especially in hairdressing. They must be led to suit the form of face and hair. The broad style, which is used from the Gainborough days, led to the introduction of lace and interthreaded through the hair, is a cap-like effect to many a girl, and the idea would seem the originated entirely in the facade of one milliner, who had studied fashions of the seventeenth and eighth centuries with good effect.

UTILITY PARASOLS. Ever sq pretty are the little sunshades for morning use. No longer, in order to be serviceable, must our wearables be plain. For instance, one parasol for morning is of green silk, plh spotted in white. At the edge there is a broad band of plain white silk laid in tiny trays. About the tip at the top is an arrangement of white satin ribbon, looking like a half-open rose. Isn't that prim prettiness for you? Another, in the popular green and blue silk, with little cross-bars of white in it, has a deep border of the plain blue silk, over which the top proper falls in a loose edge, like a deep fold, of plain green. It look, as if there were a deep border effect of plain blue and green in folds and then a plaid top. It is very pretty and dainty, yet quite the practical thing for morning and practical use.--Philadelphia Telegraph. Boydoir CHAT: In the United States the majority of librarians are women.

A patent on an improvement on a typewriter was devised by Miss Emma D. Mills. The invention necessitated the construction of special tools and these she made also. The House of Commons ordered war medals to be presented to the five American women nurses who served on the hospital ship Maine in South African and Chinese waters.

The Italian Minister of Marine has decorated with a silver medal for valor Luigia Feliciotti, a girl seventeen years of age, for two conspicuously brave deeds. She first rescued from drowning at Porto Recanati, her native place, a man much her senior, and afterward swam out from the shore to perform a similar service for a girl who had fallen out of a small boat. FADS FANCIES The belt is a prominent feature of the most swagger summer toilettes. The new full skirt, with its very much fuller back, is now seen everywhere. Wide cuffs and collars—so wide as to be almost cape-like—are the favorites of fashion. Patent leather ties, with the high military heel, are holding first place for walking shoes. A wide girdle, with sash ends, is an exceedingly smart and much-liked finish for summer bodices. Black and white are still the favorites for the most desirable costumes, but tan and brown are close seconds. "Ensemble" gowns are very modish now and particular attention is paid to matching the sunshade, gown and hat. Before the end of the summer lace open-work hosiery is to be superseded by the filimest of plain silk or lisle hose. The general outlines of the newest skirts are a full back, smooth over the hips, falling from there full to the ground. The cape and capelet effects are the necessary accompaniments to the large hats in vogue, to provide a becomingly broad basis for the head. The restaurant gown and picture hat to match are now indispensable to the complete feminine wardrobe, so popular has dining in public become. Linen suits of ecru, white, green and blue, with an instep length skirt and long-skirted, slightly bloused cont, will be among the smartest of the summer. Black patent leather and red morocco belts about four inches bread, perfectly plain and with a very simple buckle, are among the new taller gown accessories. A nine-inch knotted fringe, as an edge finish for the deep shoulder collar of a smart taffeta walking suit, is an advance idea that promises to be quite popular. For the flower-trimmed hat the mauve shades of lavender are the fashionable red, adorned with illias, wisteria or a larger blossom that resembles the oaklea.

It has been fully demonstrated that mankind can do much toward inducing birds to colonize on his premises. This is justifiable upon an economic basis as well as from the aesthetic, ethical and educational value of our feathered friends. There is not a bird that lives near the abode of man excepting the English sparrow that will not do far more good than harm and many times each year fully repay all efforts in his behalf. One of the best means of inducing PUZZLE OF CAP Captain Standish and his men return Indian chief. Find two other Indians. the birds to nest around the premises is to provide them with suitable nesting boxes or houses. The sooner in the spring these are put up the more likely will the feathered tenants be to accept them. Just as soon as birds come to us in the spring they commence to look for good nesting sites. There are not nearly as many old hollow trees and stumps with holes as there used to be, and even rail fences, which contained holes that were selected for bird homes, are rapidly disappearing. The chief kinds that nest in Loxes, logs or holes are the following: Bluebirds, wrens, chickadees, tit-mice or "tom tits," king birds, pewce and some other fly-catchers, martins and swallows, besides the omnipresent English sparrows. The latter can easily and effectually be discouraged by a few well-directed charges of the shot. When they find the battle is against them they soon learn to avoid the region in which they are made unwelcome. We proved this last year by driving away the English sparrows, while the song sparrows, bluebirds and wrens remained and nested. A few fundamental principles should guide a person in putting up nesting conveniences. Any kind of material may be used that has a cavity large enough to fully contain the nest and birds. Boxes, kegs, tin cans, skulls of animals, specially constructed houses, hollow knots and limbs, and particularly hollow logs may be used. The logs may be sawn into proper lengths, the ends boarded up, a hole of proper size cut and then used gas boxes or houses. The external shape of the structure is not important to the birds. The interior should be large and roomy. Small holes or cracks should be made in the eastern and southern sides to admit air and light. The light is needed for the parents to see to feed their young, and the air is necessary for the comfort of the young birds in hot weather. There should be but one hole large enough for use as a door, and that should be of a size quite ed to the kind of bird for which it is intended. For wrens, chickadees and tilt-mice it should be one and one-fourth inches in diameter; for bluebirds, fly-catchers, etc., two inches, and for the purple martins two and one-half inches. No platform or pin should be attached outside the hole for a perch, as this would afford a good foothold for attacking birds, especially such as the English sparrow, which might attempt to drive away the desired occupants. The hole should be nearer the top than the bottom, so that it will not become filled and closed by the nesting material. Each article to contain a nest should be firmly fixed to its place so that it will not be turned down at a critical moment, as during a storm, and the eggs thus broken or the birds killed. It should be protected from cats, squirrels and small boys by bands of tin and barbed wires being fastened around the support below it. Do not place them in groups or clusters excepting for the purple martins and swallows. Most birds prefer to have their nests some distance from others, especially of the same species. For martins and swallows the boxes should be on poles in open spaces, but for other species they may be more or less concealed, protected, or placed in trees, under roofs, etc., if desired. Do not put tin cans or metal-covered houses intended for nests where the hot sunshine will fall on them during the middle of the day. Do not permit the eggs to be handled, or the nests to be closely inspected too often. Do not feed the young birds directly. If desired, food may be placed where the parents will find it and use it as their CAPTAIN STANDISH. return to Plymouth with the head of an instinct tells them.—Pittsburg Dispatch. ARMS AND LEGS. According to the result of many measurements made at the Anthropological Laboratory in London, the right arm in human beings is, in a majority of cases, longer than the left arm, while on the contrary the left leg is longer than the right one. Sometimes, however, the relative proportions are exactly reversed, but very seldom does perfect equality exist between the two sides. The tendency of the right arm to exceed the left arm in strength is somewhat greater in men than in women, while equality of strength in the two arms occurs almost twice as frequently with women as with men.

Boat crews which, on Wednesday, strained their energies to the point of exhaustion in resuing the prisoners of the flood occupied themselves Thursday in saving property and in bringing to higher ground belated refugees. There were no reports of drownings during the day, nor were any bodies recovered. LIFE SENTENCE FOR EASTERLIN. Florida Youth Convicted of Murder in Trial at Newberry. The jury in the case of John Easterlin, charged with the murder of Tom Clark, at Newberry, Fla., last October, brought in a verdict Wednesday morning of murder in the first degree with a recommendation for mercy. This verdict fixes the penalty at life imprisonment in the penitentiary. Dewey's Cousin Round Over. Chauncey Bowey and his companions were bound over at St. Francis Kansas, Wednesday, without ball for the murder of the Berry family. EWEN HAS LEFT JACKSON. Relief Fund Started for Victims of Feudist Incendiaries. A special from Jackson, Ky., says: The secret departure of part of the Ewen family and arrangements for the rest to get away indicates the feeling that Ewen's life was not considered safe even after all of his property had been destroyed. The captain and his family greatly appreciate the efforts of the press, soldiers and others to raise funds to secure them a home. Contributions are coming from all parts of Kentucky and other states. In addition to the subscriptions from different parts of Kentucky and other states, Mrs. Shreve Ransom, of Louisville, offered the Ewen family a house in her city for a year free of rent. A petition was circulated at Lancaster, Ky., for Governor Beckham to recommend a legislative appropriation to reimburse Captain Ewen and Lexington has offered him inducements to locate in that city. JURY CONVICTS LAWYER Received Stolen Money from Miller of 520 Per Cent Fame. At New York, Wednesday, Robert A. Ammon was convicted of feloniouslyreceiving stolen money, the proceeds of the 520 per cent Franklin syndicate. The amount specifically stated in theindictment was $30,500. Ammon-took the verdict nonchalantly. Just before he was taken back to his cell he said: "Well, I have got as much nerve" "Well, I have got as much nerve with me as Miller had." GIRL SLAYS STEPFATHER. Protected Little Brother Who Was Being Whipped—Used, an Axe. A special from Sneedville, Tenn., says: Lewis Bolin, aged about 60 years, was murdered by his 13-year-old step-daughter, who struck him in the back of the head with an axe, sinking the blade of the weapon deep into his skull. Bolin was chastising one of his stepsons, when the boy called to his sister for help. The little girl responded with the above result. These two and another step-child are in jail at Sneedville. ALLEGED FIRE-BUGS SET FREE. Jury Drawn from Dominant Faction, and Action is no Surprise. The arson cases at Jackson, Ky., were disposed of Tuesday when Crawford and Thorpe, teamsters for Hargis, were set free and no indictments returned by the grand jury. It is stated by those who will talk even secretly on the matter, that the grand jury was composed of residents of Breathitt county drawn by those who are identified with the dominant faction, and that no indictments for anything were expected from a jury drawn in the county. "GRUB VENDERS" ON STRIKE. Guests of Many Large Hotels in Chicago are Left Hungry. Union men In twelve of the largest hotels in Chicago struck early Friday morning. Approximately 2,000 men, chiefly waiters and cooks, are out. The large family hotels are the principal sufferers from the latest developments, the down-town hotels not being affected up to a late hour. The Sherman house, however, suffered 350 men walking out, sitting up the dining room and bar services. THEY were both very young, tremendously in love, and astonishingly inexperienced. And to this, in itself, sufficiently distressing mixture of youth and love and inexperience—she added a worldly-minded mother, and he—the very smallest thing that could possibly be called an income. Also they shaped the measure of their joint unhappiness with such trifles as unfalling obedience to the maternal voice, a reliance that was child-like on the maternal wisdom, a self-deprecating fear of hurting a beloved object, and all sorts of malleability and gentlemanly scruples behind the age, but not by any means less fresh and sweet for that. They hadn't the suspicion of a vice, a selfish thought between them, and they were so obviously and entirely made for each other that it was, from the first, quite inevitable that they should be parted. They proved, indeed, only too easy to part. Even the world-minded mother would have been better satisfied with a victory not so quickly won. Her daughter's tears hardly moved her more than the young man's gentle, so-faced reasonableness, and together they almost persuaded her to overlook the microscopic income, though neither made any but the most passive efforts to achieve that so desired end. But she hastily summoned her worldly-mindedness, and by its ally decided, once for all, that it would be a pity to disturb their angelic resignation for the sake of a poor and preposterously commonplace marriage. And she urged the man to accept a post that had been offered him in India with a voice so tenderly like her daughter's that he very nearly refused to comply—he missed from it the sting, goading to sacrifice, which he had lately come to associate with himself and Fate. However, he did comply. The offered work held out hores of advancement, of moderate but sufficient wealth, in the vague middle distance of life. And who can tell what other mad hopes were bred of that solitary hope, wedded to desire, in the mind of a man very young, very inexperienced, very much in love? But he did not say anything to the girl about waiting for him and his future fortunes. He had promised her mother not to, and he was the very pattern of an honorable youth. And thus the girl, while he was away, was hurried into a marriage which she told herself would break her broken heart afresh. At any rate, it broke her spirit. But, then, she had never been conspicuously spirited. ACT 16. Herein lies a story often told already. So many times written, so many times read, that the greatest indulgence of reader and writer alike are surely craved for it. She, tricked by a mitaken idea into a marriage much against her inclination, to become a self-facing but never interesting wife, the pale mother of pale children. He, ignorant for years of the full extent of the barrier dividing them, lured by a forlorn hope across half a lonely lifetime. His figure had lost its old boy'shuness, his hair was thickly flocked with gray, but his pockets were comfortably lined and his position assured, when, quite casually, he learned that the woman whose fidelity he had clung to through all their separation and silence had failed him within twelve months of their parting. He told himself that every dividing year, every hard-working day, every long, breathless night, had built his old love more firmly into the fabric of his being. In the early twenties, knowing her to be false, he might have put her image from him and lived to be no less ultimately happy for the healed wound. But, coming now, so late, after so long, it unmanned him. He told himself again that he was heartbroken, and, absorbed in that sex, betrayed by a single individual, belief, forgot to rat at the whole false which is the acknowledged panacea of the broken-hearted. The news had reached him not only tardily, but with a singular lack of detail—just the bare fact of her marriage at that far-off date, and nothing more. No doubt, he might have collected further information from the same source, but he shrank nervously from doing so. To know what manner of man had supplanted him—what good could that do him? That any man had been allowed to appropriate what he had so long looked upon as his own seemed in itself a sorrow dense enough to darken the remainder of his days. Habit chained him for a time to his work, but his interest was gone and his health began seriously to fail. How much that was due to continuous residence in a trying climate, how much to the blow, it would be difficult to determine. He, at any rate, exonerated the climate. But for all that, he was forced to leave it. His friends carried him, too. There is a road to yesterday, And each one knows its start— The portals to this wondrous way Is held within the heart; From there the pleasant courses lead It rests on many a golden deed And many a memory, —W. B. Nesbit, in Chicago Tribun weak to protest further, on to a homewardbound ship. They never thought of consulting him. Of course, he would want to go home. What Englishman of them all, chained by circumstance to the land of threatening liver and ever-present mosquitoes, would miss the chance of a break-down to take him back to England? So it was that he awoke from the lethargy of extreme weakness to find the salt sea breezes blowing health back to him, whether he would or not found the strong, hearty winds urging him to the pursuit of new ideas with a life renewed; found the restless waves hurrying him to the land he had so long weared to see. Waves and winds cared nothing for his change of mind. As he sat brooding on his deck chair, he seemed to hear laughing bolsterously together over the frail fancies he held so sacred. "There are as good fish in the sea as ever came out of it," they seemed to say. (Waves and winds are proverbially blustering and course of wit.) "Why, she may he fat; she must be nearly forty, to judge by you! In England, the land of healthy, pretty women, a man may soon find healing for love-sickness. Man alive! What is one woman among many, when all are fair? Choose a malden fresh and youthful, and in her smiles forget a pale myth of an outlived age. You have managed without her all these years, and not done so badly—come now, own up! How much pleasure has there been mingled in your pretty presence of sorrow? Even now you might be in a far worse case. Why, you might be hound, irretrievably bound, to a woman worn and aged, and changed in a thousand ways from the girl you remember—a woman you would not know if you passed her in the street. And, instead, youare free as alu—as free as we are—to make a fresh choice; to make love awew to a fresh heart—how much better than you could teach it were you raw and ignorant yourself you alone know!" But he put his lean, brown hands over his ears; he would not listen to the voices of winds and waves. He clutched with all the despair of a drowning man at his frayed belief in his own perfect faithfulness. He defied the pagan creed of the unattended seas. He passionately vowed, for the sake of his cherished middle-aged self-respect, to marry no young girl. ACT III. And he kept the letter of his vow. He certainly married, and only a few months after his return; but the wife he chose was nearly of an age with himself—a widow, frail and delicate, and faintly reminiscent of a bygone prettiness. The first time he saw hey, before they were introduced, she reminded him of his old love. He could not have said how or where, but it proved an attraction strong enough to chain him to her side, to bring him quickly to her feet—he who had never done anything before without the utmost delibration and thought. And she was not by any means generally fascinating, only one of those gentle-colless women who fail to interest even their friends, but who generally succeed in obtaining and holding fast the warmest attachment of a certain class of quiet, shy men. Her past was peopled by her former husband and her atiling children, now all lost to her, but she did not find much to tell him about them. She spoke to him more about an early attachment that had proved unfortunate. She shook it out of the rose leaves and lavender of memory in which she had long laid it for; his inspection—a crumpled, faded reille of her girlhood. "We were both very young. His name was Brown, too," she said, with her uncertain smile. He remembered afterwards that she seemed to look at him rather curiously, as though expecting a question, he did not put; as though she was surprised but not ill-pleased that he should let the subject drop. At the time he was only afraid of distressing her with continuing it. He believed she had made a special effort on his behalf, and he was unwilling that she should take trouble to please him when he was so well pleased without. He had been quick to notice that, as a rule, beyond her little aliments and the most trivial passing events, few things stirred her to conversation. Yet he fell honestly in love with her; fought and conquered for her sake his' ingratiated reluctance to set any woman in the place of the woman who had failed him. This was the sort of woman she might have grown into, he said, in self-defense. An occasional trick of speech or gesture in his new job would remind him quite startlingly of his old idol; but he decided that women were more alike, after all, than he had thought them. Although he half-despised himself for unfaithfulness, he half-excused himself because, at least, he was faithful to a type. The love of his youth seemed very near to him as he gave himself unreservedly to the love of his middle-age. He seemed to know this woman by instinct. He had no question or need to worry her to learn all he required to learn about her. Then, one day, she returned to the dropped topic of her early love, and there was the merest trace of excitement in her voice. "His name was Charlie," she said, "that boy I told you about. Don't you think that makes it more than ever a coincidence—our love—since your name is Charles?" "I used to be always called Charlie—one," he said, absently, for he was looking very intently at her. Her pale cheeks flushed almost youthfully. "I wonder," she went on, "you have no story to tell me—no old romance. Surely you met some one abroad—or before you went abroad?" She was looking younger and brighter than he had ever seen her. It was marvellous, the transformation of just that touch of color in her cheeks—how it rounded them, helped her to shake off the marks of trouble, the hand of Time. To-day she had laid aside her heavy black—black never suited her—and her hair was more loosely twisted, perhaps. And then, in her eyes—a most unusual thing—was a stray gleam of fun and mischief, showing her alive to the comedy that springs sometimes from heart-breaking issues: in this instance the comedy of her having recognized him at once, although so much had come into her life between them; of his having failed to recognize her, although she had never for a clear hour left his thoughts. But he knew her now. "How can you ever forgive my blindness?" he said. But it seemed, his blindness and pleased her, "Cannot you see," she asked, "that I might prefer to be loved for what I am now rather than for something I was once but never can be again? Now I know that you love me because I reminded you of a girl you used to love, but also for myself—woman growing old. You do not only love me because you used to love me and think it is your duty never to leave off doing a thing you have once begun." And she owned to having done what little she could to keep up a delusion that had come by chance; the chance that had kept him dreaming of a girl still as a girl for—well, long past her girlhood. So, in the end, he married his first love, having fallen in love with her the second time. So two hearts, once set aside as broken, were very credibly patched for further use—Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. * Fade in Wrapping Paper More and more is the esthetic creeping into trade. It has even extended to wrapping paper. In this respect the druggists are the leaders, as the purchases at pharmacies are not bulky, and the proprietors can afford to be artistic in small details. The druggist who wraps up a small paneel or bottle in white paper and ties it with a red string is behind the times. The up-to-date pharmacist pays almost as much attention to getting attractive wrapping paper as he does to the purity of his drugs. "I have adopted this soft, dull-tinted unglazed gray as my shop color," said one druggist. "It is distinctive and acts as a sort of advertisement for me, for customers become acquainted with it. For tying I use not nothing but this orange cord. I have not noticed a marked increase of custom from my efforts to make the bundles things of beauty, but I am convinced it will pay. Naturally we feel we are doing a great educational work when we turn a bottle of bitter medicine into a symphony in gray and orange."—New York Press. Froza In Sandalune. While excavating for a basement under a store building at Muskegon, Mieh, workmen unearthed, three live frogs in the sandstone eighty feet below the surface. The soil in which the frogs were found is a mixture of hard, dry sand and rock, and it is certain the frogs have been buried at least thirty years. The spot on which the building stands was at one time the shore line of the Muskegon Lake, but as the city grew the edge was filled in until now the water's edge is nearly 300 yards from the building, and a brick paved street now runs where thirty years ago the lake's waters rolled. All three frogs hopped about after they had been exposed to the sun for a few minutes. All three were cutly blind. The frogs were green-black in color and their skin was tough and corrugated—Chicago Inter-Ocean. On the Altar of Beauty. It is customary, according to the evidence of a doctor at an inquest at New Delaval yesterday, for girls and young women in certain colliery districts in Northumberland to eat uncooked rice, oatcal and starch, in order to induce a pale complexion, which is held in those parts to be a mark of beauty. In the case under investigation a young woman named Jane Mold had died of perforation of the stomach caused by eating uncooked rice as an aid to beauty. Other cases arising from the practice are, it was stated, under treatment—London Mall Gold Medal Wedding Cake Cousin Madge, writing in London Truth about the recent Cookery- and Food Exhibition in that metropolis, says: "Viollette's lovely cakes created quite a sensation. Her wedding cake won a good medal. It was in three tiers, and was splendidly ornamented with freehand piping, the lowest tier in a design of small white roses, the second tier covered with 'piped' lily of the valley, and the upper one raised in the form of a temple, the walls of which were of the mobsaps of lily of the valley" and the pillars were formed of plaster room.

By Andrew J. Stone, Explorer and Naturalist. O undertake to give people a correct conception of Arctic America, or any part of it, is difficult. Although they know that the country is much larger than the United States, they look upon it as being all alike—a country of long, dark winters, fields of ice and snow, and barren wastes. In truth, within Arctic and sub-Arctic America there is much diversity of climate. And in this beautiful summer-land of Alaska, there are in midsummer endless fields of beautiful plant life. Many times I have left my camp at the foot of the mountains, and passing through a little meadow where a variety of wild grasses waved their tops above my head. I would commence to climb among the dense, tangled, and almost tropical jungle of alders, where grew several varieties of the most beautiful ferns. Reaching the upper limits of the alders, great, waving fields of the purple lupine and dainty red columbine covered acres and acres of the high, rolling hills. Among them, wild celery and wild parsnip grew many feet high, and other luxurant foliage plants gave my surroundings an almost tropical appearance. A little farther, many little ponds grew beautiful, yellow illies, with their great leaves resting on the surface of the water, and the purple fris bordered the shores. Still higher came the yellow sunflowers, white and purple daisies in endless fields, and higher yet, violets, plinks, forget-me-nots, buttercups and bluecells, aird dozens and dozens of daffyn, blossoming plants in many colors. Purple is the predominating color, then white and yellow and blue and pink dividing honors. But few red flowers were seen. I have traveled many miles where every foot of my way was one grand profusion of beautiful flowers in many varieties—Scribner's. A Look Into the Future. By President Roosevelt.

Now, in 1903, in the altered conditions, we must meet the changed and changing problems with the spirit shown by the men who in 1803 and in the subsequent years gained, explored, conquered and settled this vast territory, then a desert, now filled with thriving and populous States. The old days were great because the men who lived in them had mighty qualities; and we must make the new days great by showing these same qualities. We must insist upon courage and resolution, upon hardihood, tenacity and fertility in resource; we must insist upon the strong virilia virtues, and we must insist no less upon the virtues of self-restraint, self-mastery, regard for the rights of others; we must show our abhorrence of cruelty, brutality and corruption, in public and in private life alike. If we come short in any of these qualities we shall measurably fall, and if, as I believe we surely shall, we develop these qualities in the future to an even greater degree than in the past, then in the century now beginning we shall make of this republic the present and most orderly, the most just and mighty Nation which has ever come forth from the womb of time.

Surely a Buddhist HD Indian's side of any controversy between him and the white man has never really been presented at all. History has necessarily been written from the white man's standpoint and largely from the reports of commanding officers, naturally anxious to secure full credit for their gallantry or to conceal any weakness. Take as an illustration the so-called "battle" of Wounded Knee. A ring was formed about the Indians, and after disarming most of them one man resisted, and the troop began GUARD WIRES Required For All Overhead Troller Lines in England. Guard wires are required wherever telegraph or telephone wires, unprotected with a permanent insulating covering, cross above, or are liable to fall upon or be blown onto the electric conductors of a tramway. Each guard wire should be well grounded at one point at least, and at intervals of not more than five spans. The earth connection should be made by connecting the wire through the support to the rails by means of a copper bond. Guard wires should, in general, be of galvanized steel, but may be of bronze or hard-drawn copper in districts where steel is liable to excessive corrosion. In general these wires must be installed at a minimum height of twenty-four inches above the trolley wire. Where there is butone trolley two wires parallel to this—one or each side, at if horizontal distance of eight inches from the trolley wire—are necessary. If there are two trolley wires not more than twelve feet apart, but the telegraph wires do not, weigh more than 100 pounds per mile, two guard wires are sufficient, stretched a minimum distance of twenty-four inches above the former, and on the outside at a horizontal distance of eight inches from the trolley wire. If the telegraph wires weigh 100 pounds or more per mile, this latter arrangement is sufficient if the trolley wires are not more than fifteen inches apart. Where the trolley wires are separated by a distance of from fifteen to forty-eight inches, three wires are required parallel to the trolley—two on the outside, a horizontal distance of eight-inches, and the other midway between the two trolleys, all at a minimum distance of twenty-four inches above the trolley wire. If the distance between the wires is over forty-eight inches, and the telegraph wires weigh more than 100 pounds per mile, two guard wires are required for each trolley wire as for a single wire. Guard wires are also required where telegraph wires do not cross the trolley wire, but are apt to be blown against it. Where a telegraph wire may fall upon an arm or span wire, and so slide down on to a trolley wire, guard locks must be provided—New York Evening Post. Funny Things Done in Javan. Funny Things Done in Japan. They do funny things in Japan. For instance, in their second-class railway carriages white stripes are painted across the glass of the windows. This was because when the railroads first began to run the Japs, unused to glass windows, kept forgetting and trying to poke their heads out without raising the window. The bill for broken glass-amounted to a large sum in the course of a year, until some one conceived the bright idea of painting two white bands across the windows about half way down. These bands call attention to the fact that there is something solid there, and broken windows are now no more common there than on railroads in other countries. Stage management in Japan is somewhat eccentric. When, in the course of the play, one of the characters is killed a man in black rushes on the stage and holds a large cloak before the supposed corpse, who arises and runs off. This is a necessary proceeding, as a Japanese play begins at 10 o'clock in the morning and last for twenty-four hours, with no shift of scenery, and it would not do to have the supposed corpse lying about the stage all that time. People go to the play provisioned for a day and take their children with them. In the intervals between the acts the children climb on the stage and make a playground of it. sometimes giving very clever imitations of the actors who have just gone off.—New York Press. Sixty Miles an Hour by Balloon A balloon, with the aeronaut Melaudri and three other passengers, recently accomplished an all-night voyage of 450 miles, having left Paris at 5 on Saturday evening, and having descended at Arles, in the south of France, after breakfast on Sunday. The travelers attained an altitude of 9000 feet, where they encountered a wind that blew them along at sixty miles an hour and a temperature that sent their thermometer down to five degrees Fahrenheit (twenty-seven degrees of frost) and froze their bottles of Vichy water. Not liking the look of the Mediterranean they decided to descend. They fell nearly two miles in ten minutes, and beyond being quite deaf when they reached terra firma were none the worse for the trip—New York Press. The Record Wind Storm What is believed to be one of the longest and hardest blows on record is reported in the Monthly Weather Review as occurring at Point Reyes, on the California coast. For forty-eight hours the wind had an average velocity of seventy-two miles; for the succeeding twenty-four hours the velocity was seventy-two miles, followed for twelve hours with an eighty-four mile wind, culminating in a six-hour blow of an average of eighty-eight miles". The maximum velocity of the storm was 102 miles per hour, or a mile in thirty-five seconds. This is probably a record high wind.

The Hotel and Restaurant Employees Alliance No. 238, composed of employees of the hotels of this city, declared a strike on last Saturday night after supper. There seemed to be some hitch in the strike as some of the members failed to walk out with the strikers. A prominent member of the local was seen by a TRIBUNE representative and after being pressed for a statement said: "It is a case in which a permanently organized body of men decided to ask for an increase of pay not because they have formed a union but because $20 per month the highest wages paid to walters, you know, is not enough for a man with a family. It is true that we have made out with this, but it was under the most adverse circumstances. Well, in a meeting held for this purpose, we drew up a scale of wages only asking for a small increase of pay and a readjusting of the extra time system, officially signed it and sent it to the different proprietors. They held a meeting and just as the daily papers said, paid but little attention to the demand. We notified them that unless an agreement we would walk out Saturday night. They would not come to an agreement with us and according to notice we walked our. We were surprise that so many of our members went back on their promises, but as far as the head waiters are concerned they are always less to be depended upon in a case of this kind. If the strike is a failure we have nothing of great importance to loose, because we can only simply say that our jobs were better than no job at all." Locals. After a most successful term the private school of Mrs. M. A. Cole closed on Friday. Recitations dialogues and singing constituted the program which was much enjoyed.

The public is invited to the Conference and to take a part. James, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Clark, was injured by an automobile while going up Drayton street one day last week. To avoid collision with another vehicle, the automobile was suddenly turned on the crossing and struck young Clark. At the time it was thought that the injury was slight, but since then much swelling has developed around the ankle which prevents the doctor from ascertaining whether there are any broken bones. Next week the opening services of St. Paul C. M. E., church will be held in its newly purchased building on West Broad and Maple streets. On Wednesday night there will be preaching by Rev. J. J. Durham; Thursday night preaching by Rev. J. A. Hadley and Friday night by Rev R Kemp. On Sunday, Bishop L. H.

Affiliated with Thompson's Eye Water NEW PHASE OF FEUD. Ewen Hotel at Jackson, Kentucky, Burned and Five of the Hargla Faction Arrested. At 6 o'clock Sunday morning Joe Redman, a watchman at the lumber yard of Swann & Day, discovered flames issuing from the roof of Ewen's hotel, situated on the mountain side, 300 yards from the depot. The alarm was given, and Lieutenant Kinnard, with the provost guard, turned out to render assistance. Soon, hundreds of people were on the scene. Heroic work on the part of the soldiers and citizens saved possibly the entire south side of the town. The Ewen hotel is at the end of a long row of miners' cottages, all of which were in grave danger. When those in the hotel were notified, the fire was under such headway that the guests who had not arisen had only time to save part of their clothing. John Carey, of Louisville, a telegraph operator, who was sent by the Postal company to Jackson to handle the matter sent to the newspapers during the feud trials, was asleep on the second floor. In the excitement he was not awakened until the flames had shut off escape from the front stairway, and he was almost suffocated while coming out of the rear stairway and fell unconscious and half dressed on the ground, when he finally freed himself from the danger. Mrs. Ewen and her children were left poorly clad and lost everything. The hotel and furniture had been insured, but only a week ago Captain Ewen was notified that on account of the threatening conditions in Jackson the company had decided to cancel his policy. The house and fixtures were valued at about $10,000. The property represented the savings of a lifetime, and Ewen and family are homeless and dependent on the hospitality of the troops in camp. Gray and Jim Haddicks and Jerry Luntz, workmen at the Swann & Day lumber yard, reported having seen Joe Crawford and Ed Tharpe, wagoners for the Hargis brothers, come across the bridge and return just before the blaze was discovered and Major Allen ordered these men arrested. They were taken into the military camp by the soldiers and manacled in the guardhouse. Gray Haddicks was detained by the provost guard as a witness. Soon the Hargis people were active. They sent after Attorneys John O. Q'Nell, of Covington, and B. B. Golden, of Barbourville, defending Jett and White, and swore out writs of habeas corpus before Judge Redwine, making them returnable at once. VESSEL HAD FALSE BOTTOM. Wrecking of Immigrant Sbeamer Puts Uncle Sam "Next" a Smuggler. The treasury department has received information that the steamer Vera Cruz, from Cape Verde islands, which was wrecked on Oerackoke Inlet, N.C., recently, with a large number of immigrants on board, was a smuggler. An examination of the wreck shows that the vessel had a false bottom, where was secreted a quantity of rum, which the members of the crew have since been selling in the vicinity of Newbern. A SPECIES OF SLAVERY For Corporations to Be Forced to Employ Only Union Men. Sixteen strikers, alleged to have violated an injunction obtained by the Kellogg Switchboard and Supply Company, were fined $10 each in Judge Holcombe's court, at Chicago, Saturday. "For a corporation to be compelled to contract with a union to have in its employ only union men," he said, "is a species of slavery and unlawful." WILCOX MUST SERVE TERM. Appeal of Nellie Cropsey's Slayer is Turned Down by Court. The North Carolina supreme court has handed down its opinion in the case of Jim Wilcox, the murderer of Nellie Cropsey. No error is found and the verdict of thirty years' imprisonment against Wilcox stands. The New York Tribune observes that the new animal houses in the Central Park Zoo give wild beasts a wider range of comfort than the tenement dwellers in the crowded districts on the East Side of Manhattan have known for generations. "It's Reliable," been in use since 1844, "is more rescentive." Just the thing for hot weather. In Atrocities Perpetrated By Benighted Servians. DEAD·BODIES·MUTILATED Later advices from Belgrade state that King Alexander and Queen Draga, who were assassinated early Thursday in the royal palace, were buried during the hight in the family vault of the Obernivitches in the chapel of the cemetery of St. Mark. The interment was carried on with complete secrecy between 1:30 and 3 o'clock Friday morning. The strictest privacy was maintained in order to avoid hostile demonstrations. Two coffins were brought in by servants and carried up to the room where the bodies of the late king and queen were irzg. The corpses were then put in the coffins and the latter were placed in a hearse which was hurriedly driven to the old cemetery, where the other members of the Obernovitch family are interred. In addition to the attendants only two priests were present at the funeral. The Metropolitan of Belgrade was absent. The whole ceremony lasted only a few minutes. The body of the late Premier Markovitch will be buried with military honors. Colonel Naumovics, who was killed while forcing an entrance into the palace with dynamite, is described in the official notice of his death, as "dying on the field of honor for his fatherland." It is now confirmed that only Queen Draga's two brothers were killed. Her sisters were taken to Panavysa by some of the conspirators. Sensational stories, many of which are undoubtedly sent for the purpose of political effect, are published in Belgrade, the most revolting of them being that the soldiers outraged Queen Draga, and mutilated the body of King Alexander, and that those who were admitted to the palace Friday to view the remains spat and stamped on them. The dispatches sent out have every indication of having been mutilated and censored. All telegraph lines and post stations have been seized by the newly declared government and only certain dispatches, such as would put the new ministry in a favorable light, are believed to be sent out. History of Servia. Servia, one of the four Balkan States, was settled by the Serbs in the seventh century. In 1459 Servia was conquered by the Turks. It was ceded to Austria in 1718; reconquered by the Turks in 1739 and its independence was practically established in 1829, was recognized in 1878 and proclaimed, a kingdom in 1882. The population of Servia by the last census was 2,312,484, about 90 per cent Servians. The Slavs population, 3,731; Roumanians, 159,510; Egyptians, 50,000; and 5,000 Jews. Belgrade, a city, population of 59,000 people, is the capital. The government of Servia is administered by a king and council of eight ministers. Military service is compulsory between the ages of 21 and 48. In 1897 the army consisted of 1,248 officers and 21,000 men. The war strength is 353,366 men. The kingdom of Servia occupies twenty thousand square miles. The surface of the country is very mountainous. Almost equally dividing the kingdom is the great river, Morava. The Danube river forms the northern boundary, separating Servia from Austria-Hungary. To the east of Servia is Roumania and Bulgaria. To the south lies Turkey in Europe and the city of Montenegro. The climate is healthful and invigorating, but inclined to tropical excesses. Servia is rich in mineral deposits, carries on a large live stock industry and its marketable products are many. It possesses modern railway facilities, telegraph lines and many school houses. The education of children is compulsory. TWO BANKS ARE CLOSED. Recelvers Named for Bessemer Institutions Wrecked by Cornwall. The doors of the Bessemer Savings Bank and the Bank of Commerce, both located at Bessemer, Ala., failed to open Thursday morning as the result of the shortage and night of T. J. Cornwell, president of the first named bank. Receivers have been appointed for both banks. The closing of the Bank of Commerce was a surprise, as first reports stated that this institution would not be affected. FIRED FIRST SHOT OF WAR. Major Gibbs, of Columbia, South Carolina, Joins Silent Majority. Major W. H. Gibbes, who is said to have fired the first shot of the civil war, upon Fort Sumter, died in Columbia, St C., Friday. Major Gibbs was a gunner in-Captain George James' company, to whom General Beauregard sent the order to open fire upon Major Anderson. He served as postmaster of Columbia under President Cleveland. DOCTOR ADVOCATED OPERATION---- PE-RU-NA MADE KNIFE UNNECESSARY. C ATARRH is a very frequent cause known as fertility weakness. Catarrh of the pelvic organs produces such a variety of disagreeable and irritating symptoms that many people have no idea that they are caused by catarrh. If all the women who are suffering with any form of female weakness would write to Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio, and give him a complete description of their symptoms and the peculiarities of their troubles he will immediately reply with complete directions for treatment, free of charge. Mrs. Eva Bartho, 133 East 12th street, N. Y. City, N. Y., writes: "I suffered for three years with leucorrhea and ulceration of the womb. The doctor advocated an operation which I dreaded very much, and strangely objected to go under it. Now I am a changed woman.

Something for Mothers to Think About Lives of Suffering and Sorrow Averted Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills When All Else Fails. Every child born into the world with an inherited or early developed tendency to distressing, disgusting humours of the skin, scalp and blood, becomes an object of the most tender solicitude, not only because of its suffering, but because of the dreadful fear that the disgustion is to be lifelong and mar its future happiness and prosperity. Hence, it becomes the duty of mothers of such afflicted children to acquaint themselves with the best, the purest and most effective treatment available, viz. The Cuticure Treatment. Warm baths with Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and scales, gentle applications of Cuticura Ointment, to silky itching, irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and mild doses of Cuticura Jesolvent, to cool the blood in the severer cases, are all that can be desired for the speedy relief and permanent cure of skin tortured infants and children, and the comfort of worn-out parents. Millions of women use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for preserving, purifying and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair and hands, for annoying irritations and weaknesses, and for many sensitive, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves.
