Ing—Pontiff Was Ninety: « - three Years of Age and , «His Reign Most . Remarkable. Pope Leo XIII, the supreme pontiff of the Roman Catholic church, passed from carth in the vatican in Rome, . Italy, at four o'clock Monday after noon at the age of ninety-three years. To the last the pope fought for life, though to all he declared he was ready to leave. Just before the final end came, he moved his lps feebly, as though a parting messago struggled to find strength for expressfon. His Inst articulate-words were a benedic- tion. o The nows of the pope's death spread rapidly throughout Rome and caused @ most pronounced sensation though his demise had been hourly expected for two weeks. The whole city fs in mourning. Barly in the day a stop had been put to the visits which had been so fre- quently made to the room of the dy- ing pontitr, . Pope Leo died in harness, if not standing, as he declared he would be, at least performing his duties to the end. Immodiately following the death of the pope cable dispatches and tele- grams were dispatched to all parts of the ‘world, advising the soverelgns, rulers and foreign governments of the death, Before night fell many tele- grams of condolence reached the vati- can, coming from emperors, kings, po- Utfeal rulers and high church dignita- ries abroad. The vatican officers were deluged with these messages. | ‘The death of the pope brings about a widespread change In all the admin- {strative departments of the church and considerably influences questions of church policy. The obango within the vatican affects practically all the officials from the highest to the low- est, The chief international questions which ‘may be affected by the death of the pope are those connected with the suppression of religious orders in France, the change of the clergy in the new Spanish-American posses- | sions, the selections of tho: successor of the late Cardinal ,aughan and at-| tendant questions connected with the’ administration of the church In Eng-| Jand. . ‘All the newspapers in Rome, includ- ing those favorable to the present. tn-| stitutions, publish long eulogistic ar- ticles about the defunct. The only dis- cordant note was struck by the social- ist organ, Avant{, which says: “We soctalists, without disdain, but with {ndifferenco, parfs :bofore this corpse and await the new enemy.” ‘Tho Italian government has renew- ed the most energetfe orders, Pre- micr Zanardellf attending to the work personally, to insure order about the vatican, but ft cannot and will not take participation directly in tho ‘saaseealiesas’ _ Chronology of Pope Leo's Life.

Southern Car and Foundry Company Forced Into’ the Courts Through Big Floating Debts. Judge Kirkpatrick, in the~ United States ciroult court, at Trenton, N. J., Friday, appointed Thomas A. Gilles. ple, of ‘West Orange, NJ, receiver fer the Southern Car and Foundry Com- pany, a New Jersey corporation, with plants at Gadsden and Anniston, Ala., and Memphis and Lenore, Tenn. The Mabilities consist of about $2,300,100 of floating debts. The company had no bonded indebtedness, Tho asse!s consists of $500,060, the value of the Plants, and $100,000 bills _recetvable. There are also about $1,800,000 of ma. terlal and “supplies, the bulk of which has been pledged for loans and ware- house receipts given to cover the same, Among the Ilabilities are $50,000 due on tho purchase price of the An- niston plant and $325,000 due on notes to the Standard Steel Car Company, of Pennsylvania, upon whose applica: tion the recelver was appointed. The remaining Habilities are mado up al most exclusively of notes. | Application will be made at once for ‘the appointment of ancilliary receivers in thoso etates in which the company's ‘property is located, in order to pre- vent the taking out of attachments. In addition to th appointment of a recelver Jndge. Kirkpatrick made an order restraining the company from doing business. ‘The company was incorporated with a capital stock of $3,500,000, and of the stock of the company $765,000 worth is owned by the Standard ‘Stocl Car Company. A dispatch from Chattanooga says: A number of creditors have brought aults against the Southern Car and Foundry Company, which has plants in Gadsden, Anniston ‘and Birming- ham, in Alabama, and in Memphis and Lenoir City, in Tennessee., The First national bank of Birmingam was the first to take action, suing the company on an alleged indebtedness of $20,000 and taking out an attach- ment against the plant at Gadsden, Ala, placing it in the hands of the sheriff. This threw a number of men out of employment: Immediately fol- lowing this action’ creditors located at Gadsden brought sult and other at- tachments wero fssued against the plant in that city, Friday the Roane Iron Company, of Cliattancoga, attach- ed the funds belonging to the compa- ny In the Chattanooga national bank. ‘The company is the Jargest manu- facturer of cars {n we south and has been doing a tremendous, business, running the plants on full time at the places mentioned. No explanation bas becn’ made in regard to the suits, but the company claims that it fs not financially embarrassed. MORE GRACE FOR BLACKS. Epworth Leaguers Would Solve Race Problem Through Religlon, A special from Detrott says: There was no lessening of the enthusiasm among the Epworth Leaguers Friday night and Tent Ontario, Auditorium Epworth, the Detroit opera house ‘and Central Methodist Episcopal church, where mecungs were held, were again crowded. Dr. H. M. Hamil, of Nashville; Tenn,, talked on “The Field fear at Hand” at the tent miccting, and in his address referred to the negro ques- tion, “Wo have mado the negro,” ho sald, “a thing to bo batted to and fro by political parties and we have fcr- gotten his religion in a large measure. ‘What we need is to spend more timo in putting the grace of Christ in tho hearts of the black,people. What.wo need to do to solve the negro problem is to transform any instinct of savago- ry that may exist in the few of that race, in order to stop the lighting vf faggots and the raising of stakes. It is our only hope. And when you cf the north write resolutions condemn- Ing mob law, remember that {t {s not Methodist hands that pull tho ropes and light the fires.”* In Auditorium Epworth, Rev. M. N. Waldrup, of Bentonville, Ark, was chairman, and Rev. A. B, Leonard, of New York, spoke on “The Field Far Away.” Referring to the negro ques- tion, he said: “Whether It be Englishman, French. man, Turk, German or Portuguere that makes conquests in Africa, the African is his helpless victim. Nor is America treo from the shame and sin of oppressing and cruelly treating the chitdren pf Ham, Brought here, with- out their consent, as humian merchan- dise, Uberated after two centuries of slavery by the exigencies of war, they are how outcasts, socially and politi cally, and often denied the right of trial by jury, they are shot or hanged or burned at the stake, both in the north and in the south, American Christians must see to it that the ne groes shall have a fair chance in the race of life in America, and also do thelr utmost to give him the gospel in bis native lend” PORTS OPEN TO ALL Agreement Reached Between Russia and Uncle Sam.

Assur, ances have been recelved from the Chineso government that it will, In the near future, open as treaty ports several ports now close to the world's trade, Tho Russian govern. mont has conveyet formal assurance to tho United States government that it will not, "in any way, oppose such opening. While the ports to be open- ed are not yet specified, it is gathered from the communications received that they are Moukden, the principal inland port of Manchuria, and Ta Tung Kao, at the mouth of the Yalu river, It is now known that the negotla- tins which have terminated so suc- cessfully, so far as broad lines are concerned, for only detallg remain to be adjusted, were practically brought to their present phase by Sccretary Hay and Count Cassini, at a meeting at the Rucsfan embassy on June 28, the day the secretary departed for Newport, for tho ambassador then had in hand the necessary authorization from his own government to make the pledges which are now In process of redemption. These pledges were re- duced to writing by Mr. Hansen, the Russian charge, during his call at tho state department Tuesday. It remains for Mr. Conger to define, in the trade treaty which he Is nego- tating with China, the terms and con- ditions unaer which the new ports a-e to be opened.

THE colored man who has no confidence in enterprises of the race is a back number and a retarder of progress. ASSURANCE has been given that the books of the receiver of tax returns will not be closed until Monday. Delinquents should make their returns today. THE governor has reappointed Judge Norwood to the city court judgeship. The many friends of Col. Cann hoped for his elevation to that position. THE two colored companies of South Carolina are in camp this week at Beaufort. In this they are ahead of Georgia. THE colored citizens who were sufficiently enterprising to purchase that large tract of land in the county are to be commended. The people or person who is not the owners of property will amount to but little in the affairs of men. It was announced that Congressman Lester would not be a candidate for reelection. This rumor has been denied. In event that he is out of the way, the honor would surely go to Soliciter General Osborne, who would be a worthy successor, unless it was a Republican. THE TRIBUNE takes pleasure in announcing; that Collector Orum has contradicted the interview recently published saying that he was in favor of lynch law. It would have been far better if the Collector had compelled the Inter Ocean to retract the assertion if it was untrue. DR. WHITE in the Georgia Baptist has been giving the money lending snorkers hard raps in the short ribs. He has not been sparing either of the Judas ministers who are creating sentiment in favor of those human leeches. Like Augusta, Savannah is infested with money-lenders who are sapping the very life blood of many of the ignorant hard working men and women of our race. WHILE passing a squad of convicts on the road during the week, the appalling sight of a boy apparently not ten years of age was seen among them. No doubt that this boy was convicted of some petty offense, but he was sent among hardened criminals which will but make him the worse. This case appeals strongly for a reformatory. At any rate this youth should be at the poor farm rather than among hardened criminals. By the death of Associate Justice Lumpkin, this position was offered Judge Pope Barrow. After mature deliberations the judge declined the honor. Since his incumbancy of the judgeship of the Superior Court, Judge Barrow has proven to those who know but little of him before, an able, conscientious, and human judge. He is well thought of by the colored citizens who would have congratulated him on his elevation, but prefer him remaining where he is. It has been rumored during the week that the Board of Education had purchased the property of St. Paul C. M. E. church on Maple street at the intersection of Russell street. THE TRIBUNE made inquiry of Mr. LeRoy Myers who is directly in charge of that part of the work of the board, who denied it. While THE TRIBUNE and the citizens interested are anxious for another school building for our children, yet it is felt that the location spoken of is not suitable. In fact the lot is entirely two small and the surroundings too crowded. THESE are just words, and too, prophetically uttered by Associate Justice Brewer of the United States Court: "Every man who participates in the lynching or the burning of a Negro is a murderer pure and simple. The principal participants in the crime can be held by any court in the land for murder in the same degrees as if the crime were committed by an individual. There is going to be a reaction against the atrocious crimes with which the papers have been filled. I expect that it will come soon. I cannot say what form it will take, but there will be an uprising of popular feeling against lynchings, which will result in legislation or a remedy in some other form." Enterprising Colored Men Bought Big Summer Resort. The biggest land deal ever made in this county by colored men was perfected last week. For the past two months attempts have been made to purchase the Pembroke tract near Isle of Hope. Mrs. Walden was seen and offered the tract for a certain amount. Those interested raised the initial payment, but when she was approached she stated that a larger offer was made and therefore the deal was declared off, much to the dislike of the interested ones. She finally sent for Mr. A. L. Tucker the first part of last week and told him that she was prepared to carry out her original offer. Mr. Tucker immediately bestirred himself and in a few hours on Friday, a thousand dollars were raised to make the first payment. Satisfactory papers were arranged soon after and the same turned over. The success of this deal was made possible by the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company, the directors of which offered and did become responsible for a major part of the amount in event the subscribers failed to show up. On Monday afternoon the subscribers met to organize. This was done by the election of Mr. A. L. Tucker as temporary chairman and Mr. W. S. Scott, secretary and treasurer. A committee of five was ap pointed to arrange plans of organization. This committee reported at a meeting held yesterday afternoon. By appointment, a number of the subscribers visited Pembroke on Tuesday and went over a small part of the river front. The tract contains three hundred and twenty-five acres. It has a frontage of nearly two thousand feet on Herb river and extends back to Sandfly station. The Electric Railway line runs through a part of the tract. It is one of the finest pieces of property in the county and by far the best between the city and Isle of Hope. Its front on the Herb river is ideal, commanding a view most excellent. The road facing the river is finely paved from the city and is the most popular as a pleasure drive. The tract is bounded on the north by the cozy home and property of Mr. Gus. Moore and Mr. Alexander McHardy, known as Cattle Park. On the south it adjoins the beautiful property of Judge Thomas M. Norwood, of the city court. The location is ideal, being well wooded, containing many mossy bough oaks of majestic statue and a topography that can be easily made one of the most beautiful places in the county. Lawyer A L. Tucker worked hard for the securing of this place and through his efforts mainly can credit be given for the same. It is the intention of those interested in the deal to make it an ideal place. At present there is no place for our people to go on the salts that is easily accessible. This will fill a long felt need. Among the embryo plans are the immediate erection of a commodious pavilion, bath house, a spur track from Sandfly station, digging of an artesian well, fencing in and improving the tract for the resort, etc, at a cost of several thousands and dollars. Those who are interested in the affair have done themselves much good, and with proper management will be able to realize handsomely from the investment. Besides benefitting themselves they will be giving the better element of our people a place where they can go and while away the time undisturbed by discrimination. This will also appeal largely to visitors from the interior. It is the intention of the subscribers to place a limited number of shares on the market to accommodate a few friends who are desirous of being identified in the enterprise. Those who fathered the dealers; Mrs. Anne Nutall, Messrs. A. L. Tucker, C. McLester, S. M. Jackson, Paul Clark, E. E. DesVernay, J. H. Johnson, L. E. Williams', J. H. Bugg, M. D., C. F. Jones, L. M.

Pearson Pointers. The educational abilities of our people seem to be awakened. On the third instant, Miss Annie E Collinns of Savannah closed her third term of school in this town. The exercises of the day were largely attended and the parents felt proud over their children's work on the black board. They begin to see that the children are working great a woman as Miss Collins is approved. Rev J H Johnson, pastor of the Baptist church addressed the congregation on the responsibility of the parents to the education of their children. Rev Graham of the A. M. E. Church was present. On Friday night the A M E Church was crowded to see the performance of the children of which they gave the audience a fine treat. The parents have employed Miss-Collinns to teach an independent school for three months which began Monday. Among the speakers for the night was Prof. B. A. Judkins of Savannah. He gave the audience satisfaction. The Mt. Olive Baptist Church is running a revival and is expecting good news every night. He will be giving presentations in time of revivals regardless of denomination more good would be done. J. D. Bryant. Georgians at Hampton. It was a Georgia night at Hampton Institute on last Monday night, July 20, in Cleveland Hall Chapel. The five hundred teachers who are here attending the Summer Normal were given a rare treat of what the folks from Georgia can do along the line of music and literary production. The Georgia teachers who are attending the Normal arranged a most delightful programme that was enjoyed by all. Special mention should be made of the reading by Mrs. A. McNeil Herndon, of Atlanta, who is stopping with her husband, Mr. Herndon, at the Bay Shore Hotel, Buckroe Beach. This is her first appearance in Virginia and she received a hearty applause from the entire institute. She wore a beautiful gown of spangle Brussel necklace. The solo, "Love's Sorrow" by Miss Estelle Taylor of Rome and the reading of the "Natural Bridge" by Miss Estella Hall received a continued appl use. The mandolin and guitar duet by Miss Rosa Taylor of Rome and Mr. C. W. Scott of Savannah was up to the mark, also the solo by Miss Leila Jones of Savannah who sang "Silken Bands" and won lots of praise for herself. St. Philip's Dots. It was so very hot on Sunday the congregation was not so large, however those who managed to be out heard a good sermon by Rev. Sims. His discourses are always beneficial in more than one way. At 8 p.m. Rev. Sims again delivered a grand sermon and there was a fairly good congregation present and the sermon was animating and inspiring. Our people are getting more familiar with Rev. Sims and are going to get right down to hard work and cancel every debt we owe. Rev. Sims is not new in church work. He knows all about its spiritual and financial side. We want everybody to remember that on Monday morning July 27 at 9 a.m. St. Phillips church will leave wharf foot of Whitaker street by Stesmer Clifton for Beaufort for a day's outing on the sea. All kinds of refreshments will be on board. The committee will spare no pains in making it pleasant for all who may go because every body knows the reputation of St. Phillips. We need say any more. Fare for adults 50 cents, children under 12 years and nothing but those under 12, 25 cents. The usual services will be held on Sunday. First Bryan Church Dots.

E. church third quarterly conference was held last Friday night with Rev. R. M. S. Taylor P. E., of Savannah District. The conference was opened with the order of devotional services, after which the P E commended the pastor, Rev. S. C. Powell and the members for the great work on the church. After he had made his remarks all of the reports were submitted, which showed great work, such as remodeling the church, putting in new pews, painting on the inside and much other work that is too numerous to mention. Rev. Powell's equal is hard to find. There are only 137 members to this church and they are hard workers. This church paid its assessments to the P. E. and left $7.40 in hand. The conference adjourned until October. We extend a welcome to all who would like to visit Bethel A. M. E. church on East Broad and Gwinnett street lane. W. L. Vickers, Secretary. Brutally Tortured. A case came to light that for persistent and unmerciful torture has perhaps never been equaled. Joe Golobic of Oolus, Calif, writes. "For 15 years I endured inafferable pain from Rheumatism and nothing relieved me though I tried everthing known. I came across Electric Bitters and it's the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble. A few bottles of it completely relieved and cured me."

The main feature of the camp is Middleton's Military Band under the leadership of Prof. James Middleton. This band is one of the oldest and best in the state. It is quite a compliment to the members to have been selected for camp duty. They are giving entire satisfaction and beside are being complimented by the officers. It is hoped that the members of Electa Chapter will attend the special meeting to-morrow afternoon at the lodge room at 5 o'clock. A special meeting of Josephine Court, H. of J., will be held on Wednesday night next. The members are urged to be present. Capt. Bugg is determined to bring his company up to a standard second to none in the service.

Important Advice. Savannah, Ga., July 22, 1903. Euroton Dear Sir--Please permit me, through the columns of your paper to remind those who have not made their state and county tax returns to do so at once today, certainly by Monday. To my certain knowledge Mr. Daker is doing all he possibly can to reach those who have not made their tax returns and thereby save them from being double taxed. I earnestly advise that the preachers take this in hand on Sunday and remind their congregations of this fact and thereby save them this double expense. Sincerely yours, A. J. TUCKER. J. H. H.

The catcher started this trouble and the umpire must settle it. Find them. A CONDESCENSION. Gwendolen Jones was chubby and sweet, And her age was half-past three; And she lived in a house on Wellington street, In the yard with the walnut tree. Harold Percival Marmaduke Smith Was almost half-past four; And he said, when they gave him a hase- ball and bat, That he'd "play with the girls no more." Gwendolen Jones she gazed through the fence, At an end were all life's joys. As she saw the friend of her youth depart "To play with the great big boys." Harold Percival Marmaduke Smith Up to the field marched he; But his eye was blacked and his head was whacked. And his hall no more did he see. And the boys called him "Baby" because he cried. Did Teddy and Willie and Tim, And they chased him away when he threat- ed to die. And said they "no use for him." "And said they'd 'no use for him." Gwendolen Jones came down to the fence, And her face wore a joyful smile When Harold Percival Marmaduke said He'd play with her 'once in a while.' --St. Nicholas. THE MAGIC BOTTLE. Get a piece of pith, paper pulp, or some other light substance, three or four inches in length, and about half an inch in diameter, and trim it into the shape of a bottle. Cut a bullet in two and fasten the bottom of the bottle to the flat side of one of the halves. Make a hole down through the centre of the bottle, and provide a piece of heavy wire to slip into the hole easily, with its end out of sight. You can make the hole more readily before attaching the half bullet. The bullet must be covered neatly with paper, so that it will not be noticed, and the whole device should be painted, as this will serve to conceal the trick. Now, you tell the onlookers that the bottle will obey your commands, and having ordered it to stand up, you place it on the table without inserting the wire, when nothing will keep it Baseball The catcher started this trouble an from an upright position, but holding it down. It is the weight of the bullet, you see, that keeps it standing. Then you order it to lie flat on the table, and as you take it in your hands to give the order you defy insert the wire in the hole, and lay the bottle down, when the weight of the wire will keep it in that position. As the ```markdown ``` wire goes far enough into the hole to be out of sight no one will suspect its presence. This is a neat and mystifying trick, if skillfully performed. One minute the bottle will insist in standing upright, and the next minute it will tumble down as often as it is set up.—Brooklyn Eagle. THE WALKING CORK Thrust two knives into a cork at opposite sides. Then, into the base of the corn insert two pins deeply enough so that they will not bend under the weight which they will have to support. Place the whole upon a flat ruler slightly inclined and give it a slight rocking motion. The weight of the apparatus will now fall upon the pin (A), while the whole turns upon that pin. The knife placed upon the side B will tend to restore the apparatus to its first position, but, the movement of oscillation continuing, the pin B will in its turn support the entire weight and the pin A will take its position at the other point A, indicated in the illustration. The walking cork will continue its march along the assigned route, affording an illustration that all bodies are attracted by the earth and that, disarranged from their usual position of equilibrium, they become obedient to its solicitations. THE BRUSH BRIGADE. Not long ago I heard a mother tell her boys that intimate and constant acquaintance with brushes goes, a great way toward making a gentleman. The remark struck me, and I asked how many brushes one needs to be familiar with. "Tell her, boys," said their mother, and the merry fellows shouted: And one to give our hats a switching, To make us all look very bewitching. And that's the song of the Brush Brigade. "Willie always twists everything they have to remember into a jingle. Puzzle. and the umpire must settle it. Find them. and then they don't forget," said the mother smiling, as the brigade went off in a vivacious procession to practice on their brushes. "Tramps went out, but gentlemen came back," said the clever little mother, when they came in again, presenting each of the brush-improved four with an apple turn-over for his lunch-box. "Cleanliness is next to godliness, and dirt is an abomination," said grandmother from her corner. "It runs in the family," I heard one of the boys say as they put on their coats. "I guess gran brought up her boys to brush just as mother serves us. Never mind, all her boys are gentlemen clear through, and I s'pose we'll be the same if we stick to the brushes." —Wide Awake. A BALANCING TRICK. Stick the blade of an open knife into an ordinary lead pencil, which latter you will be able to balance on your fingers after one or two attempts. A balance will be obtained by opening or closing the knife as required. FOR FAIR READER FOR THE HAIR. A good wash for the hair is made from an ounce of borax, half ounce camphor, dissolved in a quart of boiling water; when cool bottle. Use about half a cupful in a bowl of warm water. The white of an egg beaten lightly and a very little water added to it, if rubbed into the scalp and then rinsed off thoroughly, leaves the hair soft and silky. A TOUCH OF COLOR. That all white has been popular almost too long a time is evidenced by the introduction of color in the trimmings on gowns and waists, and in the lace or lace and batiste waists there is now visible a faint blue, green or pink touch of embroidery, or there will be a lining of some color. As yet the all black is untouched, but that, too, will undoubtedly soon have color introduced in some fashion, and white lace on black waists is already coming in style, while fancy laces and passementeries are thought smart. Crepe de chine waists are most practical for hard wear, if made in black or dark colors, and even when made of white or light shades are a good investment, as crepe de chine cleans so well. WHEN WORDS OF WISDOM TELL "Mother, dear," said a frank young woman to her parent, who had just been giving her a lecture, "if you would only stop when you have scored your point and said what I feel is a truth you would make so much more impression, but you always go on and on, and say so much that it puts us both out of temper, and you lose all the advantage you have gained." Moral teachers always make a mistake when they do not stop at the right moment. Many a truth would be carried home to a culprit and do good work if it were not diluted with discursiveness to such an extent that its effect becomes obliterated. But the fact is that the generality of people talk too much about everything, themselves, their affairs and their neighbors. Talking never does any good, and it is apt to do a great deal of harm: New York Tribune. THE DOVE TURBAN. The wings of a dove form one of the very smartest millinery adjuncts of today, and dove color is sure to enjoy a triumph in the near future. It looks very old-world and beautiful materialized in straw to form one of the very smart peaked toques which share with it the honor of being among the millinery novelties of the season of 1803. A recently made dove-colored turban was strapped with perfectly plainly applied bands of velvet ribbon to match the straw in color. The said bands were looped over the brim and crown of the turban, and terminated at the left side in a rosette, which was almost hidden by the tall feathers of a large scarlet bird most cunningly placed on the outside of the brim a little to the left of the wearer's full face view. It was on a rose-colored toque that the dove's wings just mentioned were disposed, two on the crown lying almost flat, and the tips of two beneath, where they looked exactly like the sculptured wings of nimble Mercury. Birds of striking colors are decidedly being made fashionable by the smartest milliners. It is to be hoped, however, that the vivid orange bird that so beautifies and renders amazing a creamy white turban, and the brilliant red creature already mentioned, are the result of millinery skill and not of the slaughter of real songsters.—New York Commercial Advertiser. FÔR MILADI DAINTY. Few of us would care to have a man fall in love with us because of the beauty of our finger nails, as, befall one fair mald. We would rather be loved for something of more moment. But rosy, dainty finger tips certainly are a great charm, as much of a pleasure to their possessor as to the observant one who notes them. It is really not much trouble and little expense to keep one's hands dainty. The finger nails improve so rapidly under cultivation it is a wonder that any woman can prefer dough, ugly, dull-hued ones to those of a sheeny, transparent shell-like appearance. Four implements will do the work—curved blade scissors, nail file, chamois covered polisher and orange wood stick for keeping the scarf skin pushed back from the nail. For preparation there is the bowl of warm, soapy water, with a few drops of ammonia or tincture of benzolin and a little perfume. This softens and cleanses the nails. Nails should be kept just the length of the fingers and should be cut, or filed in a graceful oval to protect the finger tips and give them additional strength. While soft from the sony bath the scarf skin should be pushed back with the orange wood stick to show the pretty half moons.at the base of the nails. This should be done gently to avoid hang nails and consequent soreness as well as ugliness. If this part of the operation has been neglected for some time there will be found some difficulty which only care and time will remedy. To be luxurious a tinted cosmetic and a nail powder should be provided, and both cost but little and last a long time. They should, howeyer, be used no oftener than twice a week.—Philadelphia Telegraph. The Duchess of Marlborough is introducing a fashion of drawing room statuettes. The first city in Germany to grant women active participation in municipal administration is Offenburg, Grand Duchy of Baden, where eight lady Supervisors have been appointed recently. J. Pierpont Morgan's great rival in the iron world is Miss Antolnette Bertha Krupp, heiress to the great Krupp gun and iron works in Germany. Miss Krupp probably is the richest young woman in Europe. One of the latest additions to the many societies of women is that for promoting man indifference. Each member must be over seventeen, be proof against the charms of man and must abhor marriage. This club is in Guilford, England. The Balcony Club, of New York City, is a women's club run by men who seek to give their wives pleasure. During the dramatic season the club meets twice a month and dines at some down-town restaurant at the expense of the men; then it adjourns to the theatre. There are no dues on these occasions, each man paying his share. An effort is to be made to establish at the University of Michigan a memorial to Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, the distinguished educator, who was President of Wellesley College, and who graduated from the Michigan University in 1876. If a fund of $10,000 can be raised a fellowship will be established, but if the amount subscribed should be only $5000 a scholarship will be created. Queen Wilhelmina some time ago received an odd letter from two small Dutch school boys. It ran thus: "Dear Queen: Please do see tilt up our teacher will not be sent away. She is good to us and we are fond of her, and really she has not done anything. Father says that you are powerful and good and that you even pardon murderers because you want wicked people to become good again." This appeal touched as well as amused the young queen, and she sent a reply stating that the case of the teacher threatened with dismissal would be investigated. The Indian work for belts and chains, the latest notion, is seen on every side. Plaid straw effects are seen in many very stylish hats of the less elaborate kind. Plain yet handsome club and coaching parasols are far and away the most favored. The very diaphanous plain black silk stocking is now more swagger than lace hosiery. The Ascot stock ties worn by the tailor girl have much shorter ends than last season. An ultra touch of Paris origin, finishing many smart toilettes, is a dainty little pelerine. Hand drawnwork effects are in the front rank of separate stocks of thin white lawn or linen. One beautiful creation in cream etamine was trimmed quite elaborately with inch-wide ecru fringe. Fruit patterns have been so extensively used for laces that exclusive women have discarded them. The general effect of the new stocks is delicate and dainty. The heavy stocks of a few years ago are conspicuous by their absence. Soft satin ribbon in Dresden or Pompadour designs are favored for girdles of gowns of thin material where the material of the dress is not used. Girdles and belts commencing at the under-arm seams and leaving the back in one unbroken line are much seen. This is especially noticeable upon semilong coats with a tight back and blouse front. The hanging of the skirt is one of the marked features of the smartest costumes on view. In fact, Paquin predicts by autumn the clinging skirt will be entirely superseded by the gown that flares.

In fever cases the bed clothes should be as light as possible. A thin sheet may serve the purpose of a spread and with a light blanket is sufficient. The linen and night clothes should be old and soft. Let cheese-cloth take the place of handkerchiefs, burning the squares as soon as used. This is an important precaution against the spread of disease, especially in diphtheria and tuberculosis. When the bed linen is removed it should be carefully folded up and soaked for a couple of hours in water containing carbolic acid. Afterward it can be boiled in soap and water. The floor should be wiped up every day with a cloth dipped into carbolic water. A grate fire is a useful adjunct to the sick room, because it is not only cheering, but is an excellent means of ventilation besides serving to burn up pieces of linen or rags that would spread infection. The temperature of the room should be about 65 degrees Fahrenheit—never higher. In summer, bowls of ice set about have a very cooling effect. Food should never be left to stand in the room, for the reason that it absorbs the germs in the air. There should be a refrigerator in the room, otherwise the food should be left in an adjacent room. All articles of tableware should be washed thoroughly and kept in the patient's room during the illness.—American Queen. CARE OF PALMS. Once every week the surface of the leaves should be sponged off. Gloves should be worn when the operation is performed, as contact with the hand turns the edges of the leaves yellow. Palms should not be watered from above unless they are immediately wiped off, as each drop of moisture allowed to stand on the leaf causes it to turn yellow. When a room is swept or dusted, the plants should be covered, as the dust will otherwise settle on the leaves and clog the pores through which the plant breathes. Most palms and ferns do not like gaslight, and often when left in an atmosphere charged with it will droop. The windows should be opened and the room well alred twice a day. The plants should be turned around each day, so that one side after another is exposed to the light, as the leaves will naturally grow out toward the sunlight. A recently published table of the British census gives the respective ages of all the married couples in the kingdom. There is one husband of ninety-five years who has a wife of twenty-one, while three husbands ranging in age from eighty-five to ninety-five have secured wives of twenty-five. Elderly wives and youthful husbands are rarer, and the greatest disparity in this direction is between a wife of sixty-five years and her husband of twenty. The oldest couple in the last are aged 100 and ninety-five years respectively, while the youngest pair have only numbered sixteen and fifteen summers respectively. Would you like to go to Europe in four days? In a little while you can, by the turbine line. And still there will be others who prefer ambling along, let us say, in the old-fashioned tub, with leisure at the prow, says a writer in the Boston Transcript. It is only the constant crosser who replines because eight days' rest is enforced by an ocean trip. RECIPES. Fried Frogs' Legs.—Only the blind legs and quarters are eaten. They come from the market dressed and ready for use. Wash thoroughly, dip in egg and cracker crumbs, fry in hot lard or butter and season with pepper and salt. Clam Fritters.—Add the liquor of twelve clams to one pint of milk, three well-beaten eggs, salt, and as much flour as is needed to make a thin, smooth batter; chop the clams and stir them into the batter; fry in very hot lard. Barley Food.—Stir one tablespoonful sifted barley flour into one small cupful of cold water; mix well and stir into two cupfuls, boiling or hot milk; add one-half teaspoonful salt; boll and stir constantly two minutes; sweeten with pure sugar or milk sugar. Cake Fritters.—Cut stale cake in slices one inch thick; dip each piece in cream, put a little butter in the frying pan, when hot, lay in the slices; when a little brown, lift them to a platter, spread over a little preserve, or sprinkle over chopped almonds and powdered sugar. Baked Egg-Plant.—Put a good sized egg-plant into boiling water and cook ten minutes; cut in halves, scoop into the center, leaving a wall one inch thick, chop that taken from the center and mix with four tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs, twelve chopped almonds; season with salt and pepper, mix well and fill the egg-plant; stand in a baking pan; cover with greased paper and cook slowly in the oven until soft; dish carefully without breaking. Toasted Sandwiches.—Often after a picnic or entertainment a housewife has a number of bread-and-butter sandwiches left, too stale to serve. They may form the basis of a bread pudding, or they make an attractive dish for breakfast, luncheon or supper in the shape of toasted sandwiches. Do not take them apart; lay them between the wires of a toaster and hold over a clear, red fire. The butter will melt and the inside, left soft, warm and buttered, with the outside a crisp, golden brown. BEDROOM WATER SETS. One pleasant thing in house furnishings is the decided improvement in the style of bedroom water sets. Out of the commonplace is a dark blue daisy set of Doulton make, the stiffly decorated design almost wholly covering the cream ground. Some of the patterns originally used by Josiah Wedgewood are now being reproduced in Wedgewood. Qualnt in decoration and coloring, yet possibly a little tall and ungraceful in shape, is an old time landscape design. A wistaria-Jecoration in pale yellow and green is a third-neat and cool looking set from Germany, with a good broad, low bowl and a pitcher dignified and steady.-Philadelphia Record. KEEPING BERRY BOXES. When the season of berries is over collect all the crates and berry boxes and store them away for next season's use. The farm not only looks better for having the crates and boxes gathered from the field, but also indicates a careful and thrifty farmer. There were berry fields every winter where boxes and crates are strewn in confusion everywhere, and about the railroad stations are piled crates and boxes exposed to wind and rain. With such management berries do not pay. OPPRESSIVE KNOWLEDGE: He was a man so passing wise That he could take a wildwood flower *A disaffy and analyze* *And talk about it by the hour.

By THOMAS COBB. F course, its intrinsic value is very slight," I said, as Theodorn stood holding the ring in her right hand, "Is that why you are offering it to me?" she de- F course, its intrinsic value is very silight." I said, as Theodora stood holding the ring in her right hand, "Is that why you are offering it to me?" she demanded, glancing up brightly. ! "Because," I explained, "it is supposed to bring the owner all manner of luck." "Then," cried Theodora, "it is a kind of charm!" "A tailsman!" "What is it supposed to do?" "O, well, the idea used to be that it received an influence from the planets." "I wonder which planet?" asked Theodora. "The stone is green." I answered, "and green was the color of Venus, you know. Anyhow, it is supposed to protect your house from visitations of evil spirits—" "Your house," she remonstrated. "It is the same thing." I insisted, and Theodora's face grew rosily red. "Oughtn't a tailsman to have some mysterious writing on it?" she asked. "Every occult condition is fulfilled." I assured her, and she carried the ring to the window. But after an endeavor to read the words which were minutely engraved on the inner face of the thin gold band, she gave it up with a sigh. Taking the ring from Theodora's hand, I held it to a more favorable position. "To give and keep!" she read, then turned her head with an inquiring expression: "Is that right?" she asked. "Quilt right," I answered, and I shivered as her hair brushed my check. "Do you feel cold?" she asked, looking at the fire. , "Not in the least." "I will ring for Edwards to put some more coal on," she suggested, going towards the bell. "You haven't made out all the words yet." I insisted, and after a momentary hesitation, she returned to my side. "It is extremely ridiculous," she exclaimed, "because how can you give a thing and yet—" "It must be done in order to bring out the full virtue of the charm." "But if you give it away—" "Precisely what I am endeavoring to do!" "Then how can you keep it?" Theodora demanded. "Suppose you try to read the remaining line," I said, but she read it cautiously to herself before repeating it aloud. I saw her lips moving. "To give and keep; Nor lose nor weep," she read. "It is supposed," I explained, "to be a translation of an old French couplet, and you perceive that the last line contains the moral." "And the first an impossible condition!" "In the Greek Kalends," said Theodora; with a smile. "Much sooner, I hope." "When?" she asked, turning away her face. "If it is left to me, I should say a month at the latest." Turning to face me again, she held out the ring at arm's length. "I shall refuse to have anything to do with it," she cried. "Why?" I asked. "O! I detest things I can't understand." "You ought to try to have more faith," I urged. "In what?" asked Theodora. "In me, of course. I promise, if you take it, the ring shall bring good fortune." "I was thinking of you," she murmured, "at the moment." "Then the spell begins to work!" I exclaimed. "What, better luck could it bring than to make you think of me?" "To me or to you?" she demands. "It looks rather ancient," she remarked. "You see, it has been a family relic for generations." I explained. "Then it has always been kept?" "Evidently." "And consequently it has never been given away!" "At regular intervals." I insisted. "Well," she faltered, "I-I don't understand." But I fancied she did. "If you study the words carefully," I began, when she interrupted me with a solemn expression. "Besides," she cried, "even if the condition could be fulfilled——" "It could." I answered. "Even then," she continued, "haven't any of its owners either lost or——" "They have never lost the Tallman." "Ah!" said Theodora, "it must be a very wonderful thing if it always keeps away tears." "You mustn't judge by its present ef- fect," I urged, and she became suddenly indignant. "What do you mean?" she demanded. "I fancied there were tears in your eyes—" "Why should there be?" "Why?" I whispered, drawing closer. "If only the Tallman might do as you say," she murmured. "My father gave it to my mother," I explained. "Then he didn't keep it!" "The whole includes the part, you understand. He gave her the rings; she gave him back herself." "And—and yet he lost her," murmured Theodorn. "Yes, he lost her." "And I suppose, for all their love, there were tears now and then," she suggested. "Ah, 'well—" "So that your Tallman was of very little effect," said Theodora. "Perhaps," I urged, "the translation was not literal; but anyhow, you need not be afraid to accept it." "It isn't that I am afraid," she exclaimed; but still she held out her right hand once more, and the ring was in her fingers. "You are not going to give it back to me. I exposulated. "Why, yes," she returned, and I felt compelled to take it in my hand. For a few moments I stood gazing at it, a little foolishly perhaps, then I looked into her face. "The tears should be as few as I could make them, Theo," I said. "O, I know, I know," she faltered. "Don't you think you can change your mind?" I urged, and she met my eyes with an expression half perplexed, half indignant. In her own there were still traces of tears; some sensitive chord had, perhaps, been touched, of which I had no perception. "Change my mind!" she cried. "Let me give and keep——" "I thought you would like to put it on," said Theodora, and as I took her left hand and pushed the ring over her third finger, it seemed that the Tallisman began to take effect at once, for her tears dried like April rain, and no sunshine was ever brighter than her smile. But Theodora insists that her Tallisman is something different altogether—Philadelphia Telegraph. Yonkeo Enterprise in Honolulu Yankee Enterprise in Honolulu. No more applique illustration of Yankee energy can be afforded than the telephone system of the city of Honolulu. The wires run everywhere, even far out into the suburbs. They do not disfigure the view as in American cities, but seem a part of the vires and creepers which leap from wall to tree, from tree to tree, and tree to house. Nearly every house and store is connected, and the rates are so low that they would make an American stockholder weep with sorrow and disgust. Most notable of all, the company owns small submarine cables, and for a mere pittance will connect a man-of-war or a merchant ship anchored far out in the harbor with the city. Naval and maritime folk are socially important, and this ingenious innovation proved an invaluable boon to the salons ashore and the ships afloat. In the stores you can hear the captains, stewards, pursurers and paymasters ordering goods over the wires, growling at dilatory messengers, or making inquiries regarding a hundred subjects. On one occasion a friend arranged a dinner party of twelve persons, including the invitation to two naval officers on their ship, invitations to the other guests, ordering supplies and engaging waiters, in half an hour, without leaving the hall in which her telephone was situated. — Washington Post Athena's Isolation. Athens, the only capital in Europe which cannot be reached by rail, is separated by several hundred miles from the European main railway system, of which Brindisi, Salonika and Constantinople may be regarded as the three southern terminal. The projected line from Athens to Salonika will bridge the last gap of the chain. It is to have the standard continental gauge of four feet eight inches, and when completed it will be possible to run through carriages from Calais to Athens, and the Greek capital will be brought within three days of London. At present the quickest transit is five days, via Brindisi and Patras, which involves a sea voyage almost as long as that between Brindisi and Egypt. Another anomaly is that Athens is the only European capital to which there is not a daily mall from Great Britain, a privilege enjoyed by the "Europcan capital" even of that semi-clivilized country Morocco. The cost of the journey to Athens is greater than that to any other continental capital. It is not surprising, then, to find the country, which, next to Italy, is the richest in historic and artistic interest in all Europe, is hardly known at all to the average tourist. It is still the preserve of the leisure and wealthy traveler, with his entourage of courtiers and dragomans. — London Chronicle. Plover Caught by a Clam On the seashore many curious accidents happen to birds. Hunters are recording peculiar incidents that come under their notice. There is the case of the plover which got caught by a clam. In hunting on the exposed fats at low tide it must have caught sight of a tempting clam, which was enjoying the scenery with shell half open. The plover's greed might have proved destructive to it if a nearby hunter had not discovered its plight. The clam closed its shell with a vise-like grip as soon as the bird's bill struck it, and the bird fluttered violently and vainly tried to escape. It is not very often, however, that the shore birds get caught in this way, for they give a wilde berth to all of the mollusks whose power of contraction is sufficient to imprison them. Things Quaint and Curious Gathered Here and There TO MAKE MEN+LIVE 140 YEARS. Prof. Metchnikoff Claims to Know the Secret. In the Scriptures it is written: "My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh; yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years." Prof. Metchnikoff, of the Pasteur Institute, Paris, declares that the Scriptural promise is reaching fulfillment and that discoveries have made it possible for man to reach this extremo age. For those, willing to live by scientific hygiene, the fear and agony of death is promised to be done away PROF. METCHKOFF with, and man shall live until he actually longs for the end of his existence. This longing is known as the "instinct of death" or the "fullness of days," so often referred to in Holy Writ. The diseases to which flesh is heir scup upon man before he reaches the point where the desire for the end comes to him. These diseases are brought on by the 128,000,000,000,000 microbes which swarm in our great intestine and produce what we know as old age. If these microbes are successfully fought man's days may be prolonged. To get rid of these Prof. Metchnikoff speaks highly of the genera' use of "Kaffee-milk" (milk that has been subjected to lactic and alcoholic fermentations), or, perhaps better still, merely sour milk (or buttermilk), because the alcohol of the former may in time weaken the higher cells, while it is the lactic microbes alone who fight the microbes of putrefaction. "Already a great result" says Prof. Metchnikoff. "And, finally, beware of all uncooked products of the microbe-infested earth—salads, artichokes, strawberries, melons, onions, cucumbers, celery, radishes, and so forth. Unless thoroughly cooked (to destroy their microbes with intense and continued heat) do not touch them on your life." Most Spoken Language. The most spoken language is Chinese; but as there are so many dialects in the language, and as these differ so greatly in the confines of Mongolia and Tibet from those around Pekin, it is scarcely correct to say that 382,000,000 Celestials all speak one language. Putting, therefore, China aside, the most spoken languages in the world are as follows, in millions: English, 120; German, 70; Russian, 68; Spanish, 44; Portuguese, 32. If we were to measure these in ratio on a two-foot rule, we should get the following results: Portuguese, 4 inches; Spanish, $ \frac{1}{2} $ inches; Russian, $ \frac{1}{2} $ inches; German, $ \frac{1}{2} $ inches; English, 1 foot 3 inches. Negro Art. The African negro is in no way deficient in art ideals. The illustrations Made by Black Men. herewith will afford an inkling of what the 'black man at his best can do. Fig. 1 is a mask in copper work, from the Lower Niger; Fig. 2, an elephant, also fashioned in copper, from the Ivory Coast; and Fig. 8, an idol in copper, from the Gaboon. A Sllkworm of the Sea Silk is obtained from the shellfish known as the pinna, which is found in the Mediterranean. This shellfish has the power of spinning a viscid silk which in Sicily is made into a regular and very handsome fabric. The silk is spun by the shellfish in the first instance for the purpose of attaching itself to the rocks. It is able to guide the delicate filaments to the proper place and there glue them fast, and if they are cut away it can reproduce them. The material when gathered (which is done at low tide) is washed in soap and water, dried, straightened and carded, one pound of the coarse filament yielding about three ounces of fine thread, which, when spun, is a lovely burnished golden brown color. Coolles Push the Car. A curious street tram line is that between Atami and Yoshihima, two coast towns in the proxieve of Izle, Japan. The line is seven miles long, and the motive power is furnished by a couple of muscular coolies, who push the car along wherever power is necessary Robert C. H.

Suffering intensely from the effects of a fall from a twenty foot trestle which resulted in the fracturing of both his legs and serious injury to his spine, John Leonhardt of Columbus, O. lay beside the Pan-Handle spur back of the state hospital from 1 o'clock in the morning until 4 o'clock when his faithful St. Bernard dog awoke the injured man's father by barking and scratching at the door and led him to the spot. Seeing what had happened the elder Leonhardt called Pletcher's ambulance No. 1 and had the injured man sent to the Protestant hospital, where he was attended by Dr. Howell. Leonhardt was on his way home. He lives with his parents west of the state hospital. He was walking along the spur track and by a missop陪 lurched over the trestle. LAND SINKS 15 TO 20 FEET. Sunken Portion Varles in Width from a Few Feet to Several Rods. A few mornings ago people who reside on the road between Afton lake and the Susquhanna river, near Cooperstown, N. Y., were astonished when they went out of doors to see that during the night the land for a distance of an eighth of a mile had dropped from 15 to 20 feet. The sunken portion varied in width from a few feet to several rods. The trees and shrubbery on the sunken land remain standing just as before. Fortunately there were no buildings on this particular strip, although there were some near it. The theory is advanced that there is a subranean river beneath the land there. Such a condition would solve the problem of the outlet of Afton lake, which has always been a subject of much discussion.—New York Sun. LEFT AN ILLUSTRATED WILL. Pittsburg Woman Shows Just What Monument She Wants. The will of Sarah Jane Wright, which was filed for probate last week, will go down on record as an extraordinary instrument, inasmuch as the paper is illustrated to show the nature of the tombstone that the testatrix desires to have placed over her grave. The will first provides that all of the debts of the decedent shall first be paid. It then continues: "My funeral is to be respectable but plain, to-wit, at least $500. I also direct that a tombstone similar to cut, costing about $500, be raised on my lot; $100 to be put in the Manufacturer's bank and interest accruing on same to be used to keep up the grave of my lot."—Pittsburg Dispatch. Dancing In A Vat. A dance under somewhat novel conditions took place the other day in a mining camp in Washington state. Two new cyanide vats were being put in, and it was decided, in order to celebrate their completion, to hold a dance inside. Four sets of dancers were going simultaneously in each of the big vessels, the couples having to climb down ladders to reach the floor. Coffee Urn for Firemen. A number of ladies have presented the fire brigade at Summit, New Jersey with a huge coffee urn, mounted on wheels. It will be taken out to big fires to provide the men with refreshment.

It cost only a dollar, and John T. Meehan of New York, says it is the cheapest set of engrossed resolutions he ever bought, but he will have it framed and hang it alongside the gold-framed sets of resolutions presented to him by Typographical Union No. 6 for saving a "print" from death in a prison by getting him pardoned. It is all written in a big, round, boyish hand, but it breathes the true spirit. At a special meeting of the Monroe Athletic club the following resolution was unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That in consideration of the liberal donation tendered to our club to insure a good start (which donation was gratefully accepted), we do hereby send a vote of thanks to our liberal beafactor, the Hon.

Mrs. Nettle Catlin, who ran for mayor of Hartville, Wyo., stands as a novel figure in politics. Although she was defeated the campaign doubtless will be a precedent that will be followed in other Wyoming cities. The women of Hartville, not being pleased with the city government, held a caucus and named an independent ticket, with Mrs. Catlin at the head. The campaign doubtless will be a precedent that will be followed in other Wyoming cities. The women of Hartville, not being pleased with the city government, held a caucus and named an independent ticket, with Mrs. Catlin at the head. The race was a close one, but Judge J. J. Hauphauf was re-elected mayor for the third time. No woman ever ran for mayor in Wyoming before. Mrs. Catlin is the wife of Dr. Geo. S. Catlin, a prominent mining man, well known throughout Wyoming and Colorado. American Tools Popular Not only are American mowers, harvesters and hay rakes in use in all the farming districts of South Germany, but our smaller agricultural implements, such as forks, garden and lawn rakes, hoes, shovels, spades and hand potato diggers, have also rapidly grown in favor and are now on sale in nearly every local hardware store. Telephones In New York. Twelve hotels in New York city have more than 300 telephones each. Francisco and the northwest territories of Canada. Members of Mr. Brock's family will predeed him by rail and will be in waiting at the various points of interest to greet the automobile party on its arrival. No time limit has been fixed for the completion of the tour, which is in every sense a pleasure excursion. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS HOW TO CLEAN COPPER. Half a lemon dipped in salt will clean copper beautifully, and the best part of it is that a lemon from which the juice has been squeezed does just as well as a freshly cut one. After rubbing with the lemon and salt, rinse the copper in clean, hot water and dry and polish with a clean soft cloth. MAKING FRUIT JUICE. The making of fruit juice at home is an easy matter, and one has the assurance that, she has the material for dainty desserts at hand, in an emergency at no great cost. To each quart of strawberries, currants or raspberries add one-half the bulk of sugar and heat in a double bottle for one hour or longer, until the fruit is very soft. Strain through a jelly bag and heat one hour, but do not allow the juice to boil. Use a thermometer, and see that the juice keeps at about 200 Fahrenheit. Bottle and seal. This fruit juice will require some diluting when used. If the bottles have been thoroughly boiled before pouring in the juice there will be no danger of souring. TO DECORATE HAMMOCKS. Hammocks are greatly improved by a little decoration. The easiest way of making a hammock look gay and pretty is to make a short figure of flowered chintz and sew it on each side, then put in wooden extension sticks, and make four cushions of the same chintz, two at each end. Embroidered salicloth makes pretty hammocks; the salicloth is cut the length required, and a pattern in outline stitch is worked on it wit: a large darning needle and double zephyr wool. At each end a hem is made, large enough to slip a brass or wooden rou through. A small curtain rod can be procured for this purpose, cut the length desired, with ball ornaments at either end to screw on. A brass chain can be bought by the yard, and cut in three lengths, about three-quarters of a yard long, the centre one a little shorter, so that when fastened to the rod and brought to a point on a ring the hammock will hang comfortably. To the ring which holds the chains ordinary hammock rope can be spliced and hung in the usual way. A small silk ruffle on either side of the embroidered salicloth serves as a finish.—Philadelphia Telegraph. DAINTY BEDSPREADS. The busy housewife-who has a taste but no time for embroidery, yet would like to have pretty bedspreads, toilet covers, screens and other dainty things in her bedroom, will find a few suggestions useful. An extremely, pretty bedspread is made by taking a new linen sheet, and with a dinner plate and small dessert plate or saucer make intersected circles with a hard lead pencl at regular intervals over the spread. When this is done, the foundation lines are made for a pretty design of wreaths, on which it is easy to draw flowers or leaves. One wreath of wild roses or another of daisies has a good effect. The smaller circle of green leaves, and the larger of any simple flower, is a good idea. When the flowers have been sketched stain them the color desired with a fast dye. There are several dyes that will stand careful washing, violet ink or red ink, for instance. After the designs have been stained outline them with single zephyr worsted, which washes admirably. Wash silk is pretty and dainty, but it is not so effective and takes more time. The easiest outline stitch is to sew around the design with simple, running stitch, and then going over it again catch each stitch in over-and-over fashion. This gives a rope effect which looks well. A bureu cover to match the spread made in the same way with smaller circles; would be decorative, and panels for a screen look effective done in this way.—New York Journal. Asparagus in White Sauce—Boll asparagus in boiling salted water until tender; cut in inch pieces; add it to a white sauce; allow one cupful of sauce for each bunch of asparagus. Stewed Cold Potatoes — Cut cold boiled potatoes in large cubes; put them in the frying pan with a little boiling water; let simmer; add a large jump of butter, salt and plenty of pepper; let cook until the potatoes have thickened the water; serve very hot. Pineapple Filling—Carefully remove the outside and "eyes" of a pineapple, then grate the flesh from the core. Simmer until well reduced. To each cup of reduced pulp add three-fourths & cup of sugar and cook to a marmalade. When cool spread between the layers of cake. Sweet Cucumber Pickles—Let small green cucumbers stand two days in a brine that was poured over them hot. Drain, wipe and put in jars, pouring over them a spiced vinegar, made by adding one tablespoonful of celery seed, mustard seed and pepper corn, one pod of red pepper, a little ginger and horseradish root, and two pounds of brown sugar to three quarts of vinegar. Heat the vinegar and splices on three consecutive mornings, cover with homeschool or grape leaves, a plate, and weight, and in a week they will be delicous.

Hounston was visited by the reaper Death and carried to its abode. Mrs. Hounston has been ill for over three months. Even before that time she was not enjoying the beat of health, having had a paralytic stroke some years ago, the effects of which she had not recovered. Everything that medical skill could do and tender nursing accomplish were at her bidding. During her entire illness she displayed a power of will and fortitude rarely seen. She had the tender care of those who were near and dear to her and that with the hope she maintained, caused her to be contended. The funeral services took place from the Second Baptist church on Sunday afternoon. The church was crowded with the relatives and friends of the deceased. Rev. J. J. Durham, D. D., conducted the services, assisted by Rev. Alexander Harris, and Rev. A. C. Randall. The pastor paid high encomiums to the memory of the deceased and was followed by Rev. Harris who spoke in a reminiscent strain. Both speakers paying glowing tribute to the deceased as one who maintained a model home. Rev. Randall offered a fervent prayer. The remains were followed to the cemetery where the services terminated. Mrs. Houston was a lady of a quiet and amiable disposition. She was pleasant in her manner and favorably impressed those who came in contact with her. She was sixty-five years of age, and lived to see each of her children become of mature age and of excellent standing in the community. She was the relict of Mr. Henry Houston who died some years ago. She felt four daughters, Miss Rebecca G. Houston, Mrs. Marion E. Tolbert, Mrs. Florence H. Robinson, and Miss Nettie A.

The series of games of base ball played here last week between the Chickamauga Giants and the Chathams were played before a large attendance each day. The Chickamauga Giants attracted much attention while on parade, the team being composed of so many big fellows, and with their size and reputation they easily drew a crowded park. The giants made an excellent showing, but the small size of men on the home team seemed to have assisted them much in being much more handy around the bases, and they succeeded in taking three straight games from the big fellows.

MAKES TALK IN CHICAGO Nebraskan Alleges That Cleveland Stood In With Corporations and that Odium Still Persuces the Democracy. At Chicago, Saturday, William Jennings Bryan addressed several thousand enthusiastic democrats at the Chicago democratic picnic at Brauds park, in the outskirts of the city. He was received with cheers and waving of hats when he stepped to the center of the platform after a short introductory speech by Mayor Harrison, and was frequently interrupted by applause. His oration was toned with special reference to the possible candidacy of Grover Cleveland in 1904, and his supporters came in for some severe exorcism at the hands of the speaker. He said in part: "Surely if there ever was a time when the preaching of the democratic gospel ought to be opportune, now is the time. The character of our party is to be determined by the manner in which it meets an opportunity, and the manner in which it meets an opportunity will be determined by the ideal that dominates it. Will our party hesitate or take counsel of its fears? Will it abandon its championship of the people's interests in the hope of conciling relentless foes or of purchasing a few officers with campaign contributions that carry with them an obligation to be made good out of the pockets of the people? The democratic party must appeal to the democratic sentiment of the country, and this sentiment is far wider than any party. Wherever the question has been submitted in a way that it could be acted upon independently, there always has been an overwhelming majority in favor of that which was democratic, and our party can appeal successfully to this democratic spirit if we but convince, the people of our carpiness and of our fidelity to those principles. "We are handicapped just now by the fact that the last democratic administration that we had was more subservient to corporate dictation than any republican administration that had preceded it, and the record of that administration has been a millstone about the party's neck ever since. The influence exerted by Wall street over the administration's policy, the use of patronage to reward those who betrayed their constituents and the employment of the most reprehensible of republican methods made the administration a stench in the nostrils of the people and kept in the republican party many who were disgusted at that party's course. The odium which Mr. Cleveland's second administration brought upon the party which elected him did more to defeat the party than any one plank of the Chicago platform, or even than all the planks that were most severely criticised. But for the reputation of the administration it would have been impossible to make any campaign at all, and even the repudiation, thorough and complete as it was, could not completely disinfect the party. "The greatest menace that the party has to meet today is in the probability or the possibility of the party's return to the position that it occupied in 1892 to 1896. "If the democratic party would stand erect, face the future with confidence, defend the rights of the people and protect their interests wherever attacked—whether the attack comes from the financiers, the monopolists, the tariff barons or from the imperialists—it can look with confidence for a revolution of sentiment that will give us victory having had, and this victory, when it comes, will not end as the victory of 1892 did—in the demoralization of the party, but in the building up of a democratic organization which will deal aggressively with all of the evils of the government and find its bulwark in the affections and confidence of the masses." PETITION INCIDENT IS CLOSED. Secretary Hay 'Notifies B'Nal Brith of Russian Rule's Action. A Washington special says: It is stated by the secretary of state that the, incident created by the question of the presentation of the Jewish petition to Russia is closed. The state department Friday made public the correspondence that has, taken place respecting the petition. It is stated by Mr. Riddle, United States charge at St. Petersburg, that the foreign office would not receive it under any circumstances, and Secretary Hay has so informed the B'Nal Brith committee in a brief telegram. BY POSSE OF NEGROES Florida Negro Tramp Is Sent to Hla Doom for Crime of A assault. A negro tramp by the name of Adams was lynched by negroes Thurs day night in Santa Fe swamp near Lake Butler, Fla. The negro had brutally assaulted a colored woman a few days previously. Colored men in Bradford counts gathered and hunted Adums down Beloved Associate Justice of Georgia Supreme Court Stricken by the Grim Reaper. Samuel Lumpkin, associate justice of the supreme court of Georgia, died very suddenly in Wilkes county early Saturday morning. The immediate cause of Judge Lumpkin's death was hemorrhage of the lungs, though he had been in falling health for more than two years. Judge Lumpkin's death was very sudden and wholly unexpected. So quickly did the stroke come that it was impossible for a physician to reach his bedside. Judge and Mrs. Lumpkin had been in Wilkes county at the home of Mr. Richardson only a few days. Friday Judge Lumpkin attended a fish fry on Dry Fork check, and while he was not feeling well, he was in two best of spirits and his wit and humor contributed greatly to the pleasure of the evening. He intended leaving Sunday morning for Atlanta. Saturday night he retired as usual, saying he was tired from his day's recreation and wished to get a good night's sleep. Just at daylight he was seized with hemorrhage of the lungs and expired almost instantly. There were no premontory symptoms of serious lung trouble, indeed, no symptoms of any affections of those organs, and the manner of his death was as startling as the death itself was sudden and unexpected. The news of the sad event created a sensation throughout the state, for aside from the prestige of his high office, the rare personality of Judge Lumpkin had won him friends throughout the length and breadth of Georgia. When the news was flashed to Atlanta the supreme court, with whom he was never to sit again, met hastily to discuss the dread event. Grief was depicted on every face and voices trembled with the emotions of strong men. The governor sent out messages of condolence to the widow, and he and the supreme court made preparations for doing honor to the distinguished citizen, taken so suddenly. Judge Lumpkin comes from a famous family in Georgia, a family that has long been identified with public life in Georgia, and that has given many distinguished men to the state. Judge Lumpkin was 56 years of age, and would have been 57 had he lived till October. He was born in Oglethorpe county, near Lexington, and had lived there a greater part of his life. He attended the common schools of Oglethorpe county until he entered the University of Georgia at Athens. He remained at the state school for three years graduating there with first honor in a class of 56. He studied law after leaving the university and after serving several terms in the legislature, he was appointed judge of the Oconee circuit, a position he held until he was elected judge of the supreme court in 1891. Judge Lumpkin's grandfather came to Georgia from Virginia in the early days of the state and was one of the first members of the Georgia legislature. Judge Samuel Lumpkin married Miss Mary Richardson, of Alabama, and it was at the house of her brother that Judge Lumpkin died. No children survive the judge. He leaves only his wife and one sister, Mrs. Lucy Oliver. FOUR KILLED BY TRAIN. Victims Were Walking on Track and Were Literally Ground to Pieces. A Cincinnati dispatch says: Two boys and two young men were in stantly killed Sunday afternoon near the Avondale suburban station, on the Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern division of the Pennsylvania railroad while walking on the tracks. While in a deep cut on a curve they got out of the way of an outgoing expulsion train and were struck on the other track by an incoming passenger train, all being ground to pieces.

Some of these Portuguese are now at work near Newborn on farms. Of forts were made to induce all of them to locate in North Carolina. NEGRO WOMAN EXECUTED. Pald Penalty for Murder of Girl. "White Man Also Swing Up. At South McAlerest, Ind. T., Friday, Dora Wright, a negress, was hanged for the murder of Annie Williams, a 7-year-old negro girl. She mounted the scaffold without a tremor. Charles Barrett was also hanged for the murder of John Hennessy, an aged man, whom he shot from ambush. Robbery was the motive. MALARIA AND MOSQUITOES. Why There Are Attacks When Mosquitoes Are Not Present. Much interest was shown at the International Medical Congress, recently held in Spain, in the debate of the section which discussed the subject of malaria. The Medical News gives a report of the proceedings. Spanish physicians hold that Grassi of Italy and not Ronald Ross of England, was the real discoverer of the fact that malaria was transmitted from one person to another by mosquitoes, which first bite a sufferer, then develop in their own bodies a certain form of the parasite and by bliting healthy persons transmit the disease to them. It was brought out that the recurrence of malarial attacks at times when mosquitoes are not present to transmit the parasite is due to a continuous cycle of development of the germs in the human body which bridges over successive epidemics. Certain forms of the parasite seek the internal organs during the disease and, as it were, in wait for the young mosquitoes the next season. These, as soon as they are infected, are ready to produce a crop of estivotal autumnal parasite, as they call the fall malaria of the Roman Compagna and other countries subject to this particular form of disease. Dr. Ascoll of Rome, reported that malaria in epidemic form often appeared in Italy in June, notwithstanding the fact that at this time there could be but few infected mosquitoes. Most of these patients showed, however, an antecedent malarial history, proving, he thought, the fact that the recurring attacks within the individual were what kept malaria in readiness to infect the young mosquitoes. The consensus of opinion at the congress was that the wholesale slaughter of mosquitoes was a rather expensive method of disposing of malaria, notwithstanding the fact that it might make the life more tolerable to those who live in mosquito-infested countries. It was decided that the best way to eliminate malarial infection is to screen every patient with mosquito netting in order to prevent the mosquitoes infecting themselves. In as much as the individual cases suffering from malaria can be better looked after and taken care of than can the mosquitoes of the woods and streams, this method, if followed as thoroughly and carefully as isolation is observed in smallpox, would soon limit the transmission of the disease and render epidemics in low, mosquito-breeding lands almost unknown.

"Peruna has performed so many wonderful cures in San Francisco that I am convinced that it is a valuable remedy. I have frequently advised its use for women, as I find it insures regular and painless constriction, cures lowrises and ovarian troubles, and builds up the entire system.
