RECEIVER MAKES REPORT
a Suit Against Charles M.
Schwab, Who Is Alleged to Have
Gobbled Up qhirty Mil-
lion Dollare,
A New York special says: Sons:
“stonal aitezations of misstatement,
falsifying and fraud fin the organiza-
tlon eq flotation of the United States
Shy pbuilding Company, of attempts to
“mislead and deceive the investing pub-
wile by erronecus prospSttus statements
“and of a deliberate plan to wreck the
- eampany dy withholding the earnings
- ©f the Behlehem Stcel Company, arc
®eontained in the report of Receiver
James Smith, Jr., of the United States
Shipbuilding Company, made public
Sunday.
. The report concludes with the rec-
ommendation that suit be brought
against all persons who received stock
Of Ae company without paying full
swale therefor, including the promot-
wets of the consolidation, the vendors
. “Sf the constituent plants and Charles
~ M. Schwah, to recover from them sucii
mmgunt as’ is necessary ta pay the
.tdebis of the company in full.
$ Receiver Smith alsd ‘recchamends
the sale of the Crescent ship yard
"plant In New Jersey and the Harlan
& Hollingsworth plant at Wilmington,
Del., subsidiary plants in partial opera-
tion, to avoid further loss by depreci-
, ation, and the enforcement of a re-
feelvership for tho Beblehem stock
held by the United States Shipbutli-
ang Company.
“n the words of the roport, the or-
ganization of the company is charac-
terized as “an artistic swindle,” Re-
celver Smith stating that the value
of;tho plants, their earnings and work-
ing capital, given in alleged thorough
report of exact accountants, vary 60
much from actual figures “as to impel
‘the belief that the figures were wilful
ly misstated.” i
#(fiskxtremely doubiful, says the
r rekefvbr, if such accountants’ reports
_ werd submitted at the organization of
the company; thet the organization
was effected by “dummy” stockhold~
ers, directors and officers; that state. |
ments in the prospectus issued on
June 14, 1902, were incorrect; that fot
Property wérth $12,441,516 the ship-
building company paid in .stock aud
bonis $67,997,000. |
The reefver adds that “the accom-
modating directors of the _ United
‘States Shipbuilding Company in ac. |
quiring these companies deliberately
ave away many millions of dollars In
the stock and bonds of their com-
pany,” “wholesale plunder,” the re- |
ccover jerms it, to a few persons and |
that, so far as the Bethlehem Steel
Company is concerned, its carnings |
have been withheld in a deltberate at-
tempt to wreck the United Statas
Shipbuilding Company.
The report dels fully with the name |
of Charles M. Schwab, and the nature
of the Bethlehem transaction, says Mr.
Smith, ts such as to “justify him,” |
(Mr. Schwab) in saying that be did
not sell the Bethlehem Steel Company, |
but took over the United states Ship- |
building Company, the directors of |
that company giving him $30,000,000 |
in stocks and bonds for taking it of |
their hands. '

GORMAN COMES AGAIN,
Maryland Senator Has More to Say
Regarding Presifert’s Polley
Ament the Race Issue.
| ,At a democratic mass meeting held
in Baltimore Friday night at the close
of the campaign, specches were mado
‘by Edwin Warfield, the candidate for
‘governor, and a number of leading
‘democrats, including United States
Senator A. P. Gorman. An immense
crowd was present.
Senator Gorman took occasion to
again denounce the policy of President
Roosevelt regarding the raco issue,
He sald in part:
“The Anglo-Saxon hag never, and
will never, tolerate tho social equality
or the political domination of the ne-
gro race. Th& south had passed
| through scenes of turbulence and dis-
order and rapo and riot. By amend.
ments to state constitutions and by
legislation the whites have secured
control, for time being, of their own
local governments, and the colored
race ig no longer a political factor In
any state south of the Potomac.
“For more than thirty years this
question has aroused sectional feeling
and divided partics. It has threaten-
ed the peace of the states, put in jeop-
ardy homes and paralyzed Industrial
efforts All thoughtful tmén realize
that this canker upon the body politic
‘must be climinated and the supremacy
of the white government assured.
| “While President McKinley kept his
party obligations as fully ap any maa,
che ceased making partisan war upon
the people of the south. But that,
‘people removed, at least temporarily,
the Incubus that oppressed them, The
action of the states was sustained by
the, courts and confidence was re-
stored. The old and young men of the
south took on new life. Developme:ft
and progress resulted both north ang
south, until the stream ot prosperity
and’ enterprise was flowing from one
‘end of the land to the other?*

It was decided that all members of
the association shall pay an Initiation
fee of $25 to $100, and all members
shall pay dues at 50 cents per annum
per employing members; the amount
in no caso to be less than $10 nor
greater than $200 per annum. —.
- Resolutions were then adopted.
They refer to strained relations be-
tween employer and employee, and
their bad effect on business condi:
tions; demand ‘ample’ protection for
all seeking to carn a Ilvelfhood and
continue in part: ‘In carrying on a
firm and uncompromising contest with
the abuses of unions as now constitut-
ed and conducted,at the same time ree-
ognizing the free right of workingmen

MILLARD LEE HUNG
Pays Peitalty-far thé Murder
of Miss Suttles.
EXECUTION -IN ATLANTA
Crime Was Committed Eighteen
Months Ago and Murderer Re
spited a Number of Times
” by the Governor. +
Millard Lee, who murdered Lilla May
Suttles on Sunday, May 26, i802, im
Wesley chapéi, Hiéar’Béen Hill, Ga,
was hanged Friday morning in the At
lanta jail. ‘Thirteen minutes later he
‘was pronounced dead.
‘With a smile of content on his face
and without a tremor in his frame,
Lee walked to the gallows, stood on
the death trap and prepared for the
doath he knew must come.
“Have. you anything to say, Mil-
lard?” asked Sheriff J. W. Nelms &
ininute before the trap fell.
“Only that young men should read
‘their Bibles and pray. Take warning
from me. Oh, God, have mercy on
Biy soul!” were the last words of the
young murderer. .
‘Lee was the most composed man ‘in
the gallows room. Save for the con-
stant movement of his fingers and the
oceastonal twitching of his lips he
displayed no emotion as he marched
to the gallows or as ho stood while
hia arms and legs were being tled.
Tho vxecutlon was very orderly and
there was not tho'slightest hitch from
begitning to end. Everything had
been so caréfully arranged that theré
was not a second’s delay, *
Leo died a professed Christian, and
said he was going ‘straight td heaven,
there to ineet the girl for whose mur-
der he paid the penalty on the gallows.
Dr, J. M. Suttles, father of the dead
girl, was one of the men present In
tho gallows room when Lee plunged
through the trap to death. During the
entire oceasion he spoke to no ote.
His faco was !mmobjile as the slayer
of his daughter went to death. He
loft the Tower within a few moments
after the hanging had been completed.
A great crowd gathered around the
Tower early, despite the fact that they
knew they could net be admitted to
the jail. The rain which fell just be-
fore the hanging did not drive them
away,
Story of the Crime.
On Sunday morning, May 23th of
last year, just as the last notes of tho
doxology were dying away, and as the
hundred wershipers In the Tittle Wes
ley Chapel, at Ben Hill, a settlement
seven miles from Atlanta, bowed
their heads in prayer, Millard Lee, son
of a well‘known planter living in the
neighborhood, shot and instantly kill-
ed beautiful Lilla May Suttles, a play-
mate from childhood and the object
of bis devotion In mguhood. Unre-
quited love was the cause of the trag-
edy.
Lee ascaped from the church, but
was captured next morning, just at
daybreak, at Mabelton, 15 miles 7rom
the placo where he shot his sweet-
heart, He had gone there with the
evident Intention of boarding a train
for Alabama, which was duo to pass
within a few moments after he show-
ed himself to the officers.
Almost from infancy Lee had loved
Lilla May Suttles, the daughter of Dr.
J. M. Suttles, a neighbor to the Lees.
‘The two had been playmates in child-
hood and had been thrown together
much 2in the frolics cf the country
side. Lee's queer actions, his evident
desire to shun every living man and
his brusqueness turned tho girl away
from him and she began to avold him
in every way. This made Lee ever
more sullen and morose.
Six times since he committed the
murder he had been resptted by Gov-
ernor Terrell, awaiting new trials and
action on tho’ pert of the supreme
court. Every court, however, ,declar-
ed him to,be sane and to have com-
mitted a murder.
The final decision was handed down,
by the state supreme cour} Thursday,
only one day betore the execution.

A number of beantifal homes are
being erected by our people in the
city. This iss grand omen of race
progress.
CorozED voters in New York
City claimed that the fusion 2d-
ministration failed to recognize
them and for that reason many of
them refused to support the ticket
on Tuesday.
THE fair opened on Wednesday
and will be continued during next
week. No efforts have been made
to interest the colored citizens in it,
or evea induce them to attend and
for that reason they feel that they
are not wanted and to a great extent
will stay away. -
Ler us take renewed hope. On
Monday the Order of St Luke at
Richmond Va, inaugurated a bank
with Miss Mary L. Walker as presi-
dent. The first day deposite
amounting to $75,000 were received.
‘There are several banks among our
people in Richmond and each one is
reported in good condition. The
colored people in Savannah should
gain incentive from those of R ch-
mond and learn, to capitalize their
means.

that if Maryland went democratic it
would force the race question prom-
inently before the people as an is-
sue. Well, Maryland, a democratic
state, went democratic and why did
it go that way? After the Republi-
cans won during the McKinley
landslide and at the next election
the Democrats secured control of
the legislature, they passed a con-
stitutional amendment restricting
the large per cent. of the Republi-
can vote, which unrestricted would
have given the State to tne Repub-
licans on Tuesday.
, THE election is over and the Dem
> ocrate are jubilant because their par-
ty was yictorious at places that were
always democratic. ‘They were vic:
toriousin New York city, one of
their strongest holds, algo in the oth-
er southern states where elections
were held. They succeeded in not
@ single northern or western state
excent in electing the governor only
in Rhode Island. On the other
hand the Republicans. have more
cause for rejoicing. .A concentrated
effort was made to defeat their state
ticket in Ohio and prevent the elec-
tion of Senator Hanna. In this ef-
fort the Democrats were foiled: The
Republican candidates were elected
with increased majorities and Sena;
tor Hanna is assured of reelection
on a joint ballot of neatly one hund-
red. ‘There is no room for the:
Demferats to secure comfort out of
the ‘lection. They have not a
ghost of a chance to win next year.

So it smiled and grew the sweeter with every passing hour;
And all the little fairies, in moonlight, dusk, and dawn.
Rejoiced and sang around it on the dew-bespinkled lawn.
BATTLE OF THE BUTTONS
There were forty of them, twenty Reds and twenty Blues, marching in long straight lines across the carpet, with the rubber ruler at their backs. You might have thought that they were only buttons, but Willie could have told you better, for he knew that they were two armies at war and that the blue button with the gold rim was the captain of the Blues and the red button, twice as large as the others, was the captain of the Reds, and that the fighting was going to begin very soon.
The Blues were on the table-land made by the rug before the grate and the Reds were in the valley, where there came the bunch of green leaves and purple flowers in the carpet. They would have liked to reach the table-kind, too, but the Blues would not let them, and that was how the battle started.
Two Reds had come close under the edge of the table-land when a Blue sharpshooter saw them.
"Bang!" came the rubber ruler down upon one of the Reds, and it was the end of him, for he turned square over on his little red stomach.
Then his comrade fired back.
"Bang!" came the rubber ruler down upon the Blue sharpshooter, and he never fired again, but turned square over on his little blue stomach.
And then the Reds came running up to help their man, and the Blues came running up to help their man (only he was dead), and there was a steady "bang! being bang!" in six Reds and seven Blues ha' ha' ha' over on their little stomachs, but then taken from the field.
It was just about this time that the captain of the Blues noticed most of the Reds in a long, straight line and shouted (or Willie shouted for him): "Boys, see there. Give em grape and cannister."
So the rubber ruler came down. "Boom!" along the whole line at once and three of the Reds rolled over all at one time.
That was a dreadful thing and in a second the captain of the Reds shouted (or Willie shouted for him): "Scatter, boys. Spread out. Don't let him do that thing again."
So they spread out, and right there was the turning point of the battle. One of the Reds (he had a little white spot of him) crawled close up to the table-laud again and took deadly aim straight at the captain of the Blues.
"Bang!" he fired, but it was no use. That captain only bounced—he never turned over at all.
"Bang!" fired back the Blues, but that white-spotted Red never budged. "Bang!" he fired once more, but this time the captain of the Blues jumped straight up in the air and fell over the edge of the table-land and rolled down among the Reds and was captured. The white-spotted Red saw the discouraged Blues retreating and with all his might he shouted (or Willie shouted for him): "Bring the Bridge! Bring the scaling ladder." And when three men had brought the bridge, which was a stiff, white sheet of paper, they set it against the table-land, and all those Reds went marching up. The Blues by this time had rallied and began to fire again, but it was too late. The Reds had already climbed to the table-land and—
And just then little Ruth came running in and tripped over the tableland and sent every soldier flying into the air, and when they came down every one of them was roiled over on his stomach, excepting that whitespotted Red.
"And what happened then?" asked mamma, when she had comforted little Ruth and taken up her mending once, more.
"Well," said Willie, "the Reds were just going to beat, but there came an awful, awful earthquake and it killed every man of 'em but one."—Frederick Hall, in Chicago Record-Herald.
THE ROMANTIC BUGLE.
Ralph D. Palme was one of the adventurous b弯cancers of the Three Friends, the famous illbustering craft of the Cuban war. The grim yet humorous study of his adventures 'is in Outing, Says Mr. Palme:
"Jack Gorman, the cavalry bugler, had refused with scorn the new Mauser rifle offered; him by the leader of the expedition, but had brought along
an old Springfield. He explained several times each day that the Cuban Junta in New York had promised to pay him $1000 for each Spanish officer he should shoot. Gorman had 150 pounds of Springfield ammunition in his haversack, and considered himself already possessed of a fortune of exactly $150,000. It was as safe as money in the banks. 'One hundred and fifty officers at $1000 each.'
"In the haversack was also a battered bugle mouthpiece, treasured as a souvenir of the fight with the United States Cavalry at Wounded Knee. In the middle of the skirmish with the gunboat Gorman opened fire with the Springfield from the afterdeck, shooting with the same earnestness and deliberation to be imagined if he had been bowling over his $1000 with every cartridge. He became really and unexpectedly effective when he ceased biring, pushed the bugle mouthpiece into the muzzle of the Springfield, threw open the breach block and began to blow the calls he knew from Boots and Saddles' to 'Assembly.' The extemporized bugle was a triumph. The sound of it seemed to transform the Three Friends into a war vessel. It was learned later from Havana that the officers of the Spanish gunboat were alarmed by this indication that the vessel they had attacked was an armed and disciplined gunboat with a naval equipment. The bugle calls made the disreputable Three Friends a formidable foe in the darkness. Having blown his 'musical' repertoire through the barrel of his rifle, Gorman pulled out the mouthpiece, jammed, a carriage into the other end and resumed his fire at the wide, wide world."
WHY RUN FROM RAIN?
"Do you know," said the Observant Citizen, according to the Philadelphia Press, "the habit of running through the rain is based on a definite fallacy? It is a common habit. But does it tend to minimize the amount of water falling on a person exposed to the rain? I am convinced that it rather aggravates the situation. By experience, in passing the distance of a block, running one time and walking the other, and at times when the rainfall was about the same, I found that my clothes picked up more water and were consequently damper when I covered the distance in a run than they were when I walked it.
"There seems to be a good reason for the rather curious fact. Rain falls irregularly. Sometimes there is a space of five or six inches between the falling drops, as we have noticed on smooth surfaces, like a stone flagging, and again only the fraction of an inch will separate the drops. Water occasionally falls in sheets, but this is not usual. But while the fall is irregular, considered with the respect to the perpendicular lines described in the descent, looking straight ahead and through the lines we will find before us a sheet of water that is well-nigh solid. We can understand that running against this sheet of water will have very much the same effect wind would have if its direction forced the rain in our faces. We simply pick up the water, and the fact that the spaces between the drops perpendicularly considered are greater than the spaces in any given direction horizontally will explain to us the fallacy of the whole thing.
I will put it in another way. Suppose you stand perfectly still in the rain for a space of sixty seconds, then you run through the rain for the same period of time. Is it not reasonable to assume that you will pick up more water in your flight than you will in your stationary attitude? I think so. I have tried it, at any rate, and have found the fact to be that way."
MOUNTING LARGE ANIMALS.
At one time or another in his life, every boy who is a boy has been fired with a desire to "stuff" an animal of some sort—either a favorite dog which has met with an untimely fate, or an unfortunate cat, or some wild animal which has fallen into his hands. As a rule, however, something has gone wrong with the operation; either the skin has been ruined in removing it, or it has been spoiled by insects after it was removed; or, if both of these difficulties were gotten over successfully, the result has looked so awkward and shapeless that it has soon been thrown away.
This is not surprising when it is understood how much skill is needed to properly mount an animal, large or small, and how thorough a knowledge of its anatomy is required to make it look lifelike.
Nowadays small animals are modelled in plaster of paris almost as if they were intended for statuettes, and then have the skin drawn over them carefully, while the frames of large animal are constructed of wood, covered with laths, over which quantities of excelsior are fastened, or with wire netting, over which plaster is carefully molded to fit the animal. -Crittenden Marriott, in St. Nicholas.
New Theological Students.
The number of theological students in Germany has diminished gradually from 4267 in 1530 to 2149, or less than half, although the population has doubled since 1830.
is no matter, for the opening is for one, not for the many, and that one would probably be that rara avis, the business woman who finds her work entirely to her mind and a real pleasure. An establishment something on this order is flourishing in Sewickley, having grown from a modest little shop for the sale and exchange of books to a widely known place where one may revel in rare volumes and antique furniture.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
The season's importations of hosiery include very elaborate and handsome designs. Fifty dollars is the price asked for some of these richly embroidered silk stockings. An artistic pair in white silk shows chiffon leaves and flowers set in the fine mesh. The same design is in black. In another pair of black stockings tiny white and shaded blue beads are closely imitated in embroidery, producing quite a Japanese effect, the design showing tiny birds flying across the fabric in regular "tap" style. Another costly stocking is ornamented with exquisite drawn work in unique pattern—Brooklyn Eagle.
HYGIENE OF THE HAIR.
In order to give your hair the hygienic care which it demands it is necessary, ladies, that you should know:
First, that the scalp dislikes dampness, which soaks it, and is hurtful to its vitality.
Second, that the scalp requires constant airing, to assist the evaporation of perspiration and other secretions of the skin, which have as injurious an effect upon it as dampness.
Third, that both the scalp and the hair dislike violent twisting and pulling, which put their strength and solidity to a hard test.
These three fundamental principles being known, they should be remembered and applied in the best way, and as frequently as possible. Woman's Home Companion.
THE WOMEN OF ENGLAND.
The fashionable Englishwoman cramps and fluffs her hair, until it "pumps" all around her head like a rather stiff halo, and then she tides it all down with a hair net, both fore and aft. But the hair is such a pretty color and they have the most beautiful complexions and brilliant coloring to be found in the whole world. There are no middle aged women here; they are either young and fresh or old and beckoned. When the wrinkles begin to come they are immediately and persistently chased away by an electrical contrivance, massage and plenty of expensive cold cream. One rarely sees a gray haired woman—at least, not a fashionable one—for when the hair begins to whiten she tints it until it is a beautiful reddish blonde brown, and then she goes tripping down the ladder of life utterly and gaily unconscious of the devastating footprints of Father Time.—Linda Hull Larned, in Good Housekeeping.
THE BEST DRESSED WOMEN
One of the reasons why the Parisienne has been recorked the best dressed woman in the world is that she invariably suits her attire to circumstances. Undoubtedly it would be a good thing if her example were more widely followed; demand for hats would be increased and the profit likewise. It is more to the advantage of the milliner to sell two or three hats than one, and smart hats do not necessarily have a wider margin of profit than more simple ones. Frequently the opposite is the case; more often than not what is charged for is the style and novelty, and it is not always possible to raise the price in exact proportion to the value of the trimmings and materials employed. Many milliners here have a certain scale of prices. Their minimum price is a high one and between this and the maximum there is not so great a difference as might be supposed—The Military Trade Review.
THE OLD-TIME PELERINE.
Capris will be worn for the good and simple reason that woman who have invested a thousand dollars or more in sable circulars are not likely to throw them aside, but as far as asl mode is concerned, they have given place to pelerines, the old-fashioned tippet pointed on the shoulders, such as were worn *hundred years ago*. They are delightfully warm, for the sloping shoulders reach on either side almost to the elbow, and cover both back and chest well. They have this merit, that, unlike a coat or jacket, they can be easily thrown off in a room and resumed on going out again. It has been for years a fruitful source of colds that we have become too heated when paying visits by over clothing retained indoors and have felt the effects when going out into the cold air. There are many shapes in pelerines, and narrow stoles, and many styles. The sable, mink and stone marten stoles have tails at each end as well as half way down and at the back—New York Commercial Advertiser.
WOMEN AS BOOKSELLERS.
London curio shops are largely in the hands of women, but though women writers of books are legion women sellers of books are conspicuous by their absence. Has the trade of the bookeller no charm for women? It has suggested, and with apparent reason, that a charming woman, with delicacy of feeling and tact, might establish a book shop in any fashionable thoroughfare and attract to it all the most famous and fashionable people of the day, making it, in fact, something of a sadon. Of course, specially personal qualifications would be necessary, and probably they are not often found in the woman possessing the requisite capital, still, that
Is no matter, for the opening is for one, not for the many, and that one would probably be that raa avis, the business woman who finds her work entirely to her mind and a real pleasure. An establishment something on this order is flourishing in Sewickley, having grown from a modest little shop for the sale and exchange of books to a widely, known place where one may revel in rare volumes and antique furniture.—Pittsburgh Dispatch.
THE DUTY OF PARENTS.
Duty to children is not summed up in feeding, clothing and sending to a better or worse—at present usually worse—school. The parents' duty begins long before. It is as necessary that we should live healthfully and happily before our children are born, as that we should clothe them afterward. Only by being in the best condition ourselves can we give the proper heritage to a child. To bring a being into the world and handicap him by your own tolles and negligences is a poor trick; and yet it is just the trick that nine-tenths of the parents play on their offspring. Treat your child at least as well as you would a fellow-man, and be thoughtful of his future. Then, having once given him the good heritage, see to it that his home life shall be such that his mental and moral nature may be rightly developed. Sick or weakly children will in their turn produce weaklings; halting, cowardly matures will have children who are dwarfed in the same way; and instead of the race being helped by these, its general average will be lowered. Consider, then, your duty to your children through yourself. Live in youth and manhood the sanest, cheerfulest and fullest life, and make your home reflect these virtues. So shall your children be in truth the gift of God, and you can say with the psalmist, "Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them."—Woman's Home Companion.
THE ROCK OF DISASTER.
There is just one excuse for debt in the household—unsuitable money allowance by the head of the family. There are plenty of men who expect to secure all the comforts and a few luxuries at home without making proper provision for them. Every wife is justified in her request for a money allowance, out of which are to be paid the household expenses and those attending her personal needs. It is absolutely impossible to secure comfort by depending upon erratic gifts of money. A stipulated sum alone insures permanent home happiness, and that should be on a scale corresponding with the husband's income and the needs of the family. Where the wife handles the family income the question of allowance never comes up.
Many wives have only themselves to blame for the straitened circumstances in which they find themselves. Men are creatures of habit and will be likely to stand by whatever arrangements are made in the honeymoon period.
It certainly seems strange that men expect a certain sum of money to go just as far after a baby or two has arrived as it did when there was just man and wife. If it took $10 a week when they were first married, $10 is all that is handed out when the family is four instead of two. They argue that babies eat so little. They are dumfounded that expenses become heavier every year of married life. But children mean extra help, and help means waste, and wastage means the disappearance of money.—Philadelphia Telegraph.
FASHION OUTLOOK FOR 1901.
The fashion outlook for the winter promises a great diversity in coloring, material and design. As has been the case for several seasons, individuality of taste is allowed full sway, yet anything crude or too striking will not meet with approval. All crudities must be toned down and modified to insure artistic results.
As yet it is impossible to say that any type of dress is to be the one for the coming winter. There is evident a desire to return to the old-fashioned styles that prevailed a generation ago, a desire to do away with the exaggerated long waisted effect, and to bring in the founced wide skirts in place of the close fitting and almost too clinging ones that have found such favor for the last two or three years, to accentuate slenderness, and have tight fitting waists rather than the loose, graceful ones, and to bring sharply into prominence the lines of the bust. But that this has already been proved impossible is seen in the great diversity of gowns, and also in the combinations of the diverse ideas. There are very few waists made with the exaggerated straight front and disproportionately long waist, and yet there are evening gowns with very long narrow points in front and quite high on the hips. There are wide bodices and girdles in the place of the narrow belts, made of the same material as the gown, and yet there are any number of exquisite creations of the models favored where the narrowest possible belt is used, so that there shall be no dividing line at the waist. But on the whole the wide, draped, pointed belt promises to be one of the marked features of the season's gowns. These belts are draped over the fitted and boned waist, and as a rule a little pad of sachet is tacked inside the lining just above the waist to improve the line of the figure.—A. T. Ashmore, in Harper's Bazar.
Ice Heavier Than Water
By experiments of greater accuracy Professor Babcock, of the Wisconsin University, shows that half a ton of ice weighs more than the water obtained from melting that quantity of ice. Therefore the weight of a body increases as its temperature falls.

Nelson A. Luce, Sate Superintendent of Schools in Unorganized Townships in Maine, has returned from a four weeks' trip of inspection of about forty schools in the woods, and makes an encouraging report of their work. Many of these forest schoolhouses are most primitive. At West Sebois an old freight car is used for sixteen pupils. In some of the townships the residents have built log houses, the State contributing nothing. At Twin Lake School there are American, French, Provincial, Italian and Indian pupils. The only man teacher is at Moose River, and his duties include ferrying the children back and forth.
Many families have the misfortune to include one member who, perhaps from some congenital defect, is not trustworthy, observes Harper's Weekly. Yet they hate to give him up, and hoping, as he goes from one disaster to another, that he will yet learn his lesson, they keep on finding chances for him to throw away. To raise up such a person is simply to add to the height from which he must fall. To protect his reputation is simply to furnish him with means to deceive whoever trusts him. The sooner he gets down to the level he belongs in the better for himself, his friends, and society. Help him on, but not up. Pay his board, but don't find him a job where he can betray confidence. Keep him out of the poorhouse and out of jail, if possible, but most of all keep him out of mischief by making serious mischief inaccessible to him. To put a defective, irresponsible man, who is used to ease and the comforts of life, into social and commercial competition with persons of his own social grade is to invite disaster. Let him be known, if he is known at all, for what he is, and thereby minimize the risk involved in his existence.
HOW TO BUILD THE LOG FIRE
HOW TO BUILD THE LOG FIRE.
The season when a good log fire is comfortable in the evenings is at hand. To make an attractive one, which does not have to be coaxed with applications, of kindling wood now and then, shake out a double-sheet newspaper and leave the edges loose so that it will light easily. It will take longer to ignite it crushed and spoils the effect of the kindling wood, which is thrown on the paper against the androirs. The black log should be of the largest size the fireplace will hold. Green wood is preferable at this time of the year. It should be put close back to the wall. If it is a split log, the inside should be turned towards the front. Three logs are enough to start a fire with. Give it a good start, and then let it alone. Nothing is worse than a smoky, constantly poked wood fire—New York Times.
Sabbath observance in Belgium is optional, especially in regard to the delivery of letters. Postage stamps have a tiny coupon at the bottom, on which is the legend, engraved both in French and Flemish: "Not to be delivered on Sunday." If the sender of the letter be a person of strong religious views, who believes in observing the Sabbath in every form, he permits the coupon to remain attached to the stamp, and the letter, which might be delivered on Sunday, does not go out of the receiving office until the following day. If, on the other hand, the sender of the letter has no scruples, he tears off the coupon, and the letter is delivered on Sunday, the same as any other day. A fine is imposed on the carrier for violating the instructions of the coupon.
THE THREE BROTHERS WHO BE CAME TREES.
(An Indian Legend.)
There were once three brothers who went to seek the Lord of Life and win their hearts' desires. One, though tall enough, wished to be taller still. He had tried in many ways to make himself taller, because he wished to be admired and looked up to by smaller people, and win the love of the beautiful Indians of his tribe. To make himself appear taller than he really was he put soft clay into his moccasins, to raise him on his feet, and he plastered up his hair to stand high, and on top of it was a long turkey tail. But what he wished for was to be taller still. The second brother asked that he might live always, where he might behold all the beauty of the land, and rest in peace forever; the third brother asked to live to a great age, and always to be healthy till he died.
Now when the Lord of Life heard his servant, the Earthquake, and commanded him to set them firmly with their feet fast planted in the ground, and when this was done, the three brothers were to pine trees. The Lord of Life paid heed to their wishes, for he gave them what they most desired.
He who would be tall overtopped all the trees in the forest; even the turkey tail was not forgotten, it waves to this hour, and summer days the giant tree sways and murmurs with pride.
The second brother, who wished to dwell in peace upon the earth, will do so while he is rooted to the ground; and the third, who wished to live to the end in perfect health, is still standing straight and sturdy in the forest—Pittsburg Dispatch.
A DELICIOUS CAKE.
A thoroughly delicious cake, which has the additional merit of not being common in use, can be made with a pineapple filling. For the layers no receipt is better than the old established one, which calls for a cupful of butter, two of sugar, three of flour, four eggs and a cupful of milk. Beat the sugar and the butter to a cream. Separate the whites from the yolks of the eggs and beat the yolks until they are creamy and the whites to a stiff froth. Sift the flour. Add the yolks to the sugar and butter, then stir in the flour, alternating with the milk. Beat the whites in briskly, add half a teaspoonful of vanilla flavoring and bake in jelly cake tins. For the filling make a boiled-icing of two cupfuls of granulated sugar and the whites of two eggs, half a teaspoonful' of cream-of-tartar and a cupful of boiling' water. Boll the sugar and the water together until it forms a thread. Beat the eggs to a stiff froth, then add the cream-of-tartar and the syrup a little at a time, beating all the while. Boat 'until cold and thick, flavor with orange juice, and spread over the layers of the cake, sprinkled with grated pineapple, which has been sweetened.

They will be much lighter, and during the day they will be coaxed into parlor cars.

From the great dificulty of reaching
there it fs not surprising to find that
no European lias tried to exploro these
mountains, and there{s no literature on
the subject in English save a short
translation of about twenty lines from
4 paper read before the Imperial Rus-
sian Geographical Society. Professor
Sapdzinokof, of the Tomsk Untyersity,
‘with four companions climbed 13,300
feet from the south side of Bela dur-
ing the summer of 1900, and then it
was estimated that the moutitain was
14,500 feet high. Ar, Turner intended
to try to confirm Professor Sapo-
zinokof’s measurements.
It was in the late winter, and though
the Russian authorities were heipful,
they declared auy ascent was “Impos-

It'was first of all necessary to ex-
amine Beluka. Accordingly Mr. Turner
climbed one mountain 17,800 feet high,
and did so alone, for the bunter he took
with him refused to run any risk, and
stopped at a lower altitude. The fol-

and stood ready to make short work of
him, but’he didn't show himself; and
Defore we could “devise any way to
stie him out, night came om
“Let's smoke him, koys," somebody
proposed: And while some of lis stood
guard aréund thé tiger's den, the others
went to piling dead brush ngainst the
hole. When there was a good sized
pile we set fire to it.
‘The snowy brush burned slowly and
‘smoked a great deal. As the fire be-
gan to crackle the tlger began to
growl, aud hen the smoke worked
into the hole ke growled louder. My
uncle called out: +
“Be rendy, boys! It’s elther come
through that Drush pile or suffocate;
and ho'll come through the brush pile.”
- We backed off, several yards, and
every gun gvas almed at the ‘point
where the tiger was expected to ap-
pean It was dark by this thme—piteh
dark pverywhere except around the
fire. For a time we could bear the
tiger growling under the rocks.
We waited nnd waited, but st{ll he
didn't show himself, ‘The fire climbed
among the loosely piled brush until
the whole pile was ablaze. ‘Finally
somebody—Simpson, I believe it vas—
spoke up: ®
“He's smothered to death, boys.
‘That's why we don’t hear bim any
mote. No animal could live in that
hole with that fire in the mouth of
it. He was so afraid of the fire that
he ue rather suffdeaté than come
through tt”
After standing guard a while longer,
we all agreed that the tiger must be
dead. None of us knew that there
was a little cave under those rocks.
Now we closed yp around the fire
and stood with our gunstocks on the
ground, warming ourselves, We felt
Jolly over getting rid of our trouble-
some, dangerous enemy, and were go-
ing to pull straws for the stin. In
fact, Slmpson was azranging the
straws, when suddenly something bap-
pened to the fire. As nearly as I can
describe \t, that blazing brush heap
esploded?
‘There Was a roar bebind it, and the
next inoment the brush was fiying. and
the panthers frightfyl form came
crashing throngh. As the big, savage
brute burst out of the fire, he knocked
one man down, and two or three more
fell over onc angjher trxing to get
out of the way. I jumped back to
dodge the flying fire, and stumbled
over a dog.
_ The dog howled, and as I tumbled
backward the hammer of my musket
struck something, and the old mus-
ket exploded with a roar. The load
of nulls went off through the woods,
but I thought 1 was killed.
‘The second leap carried the tiger
away from the fire, and another car-
ried him into the ‘darkness. About
this tlme the men recovered from the
panie and began to shoot; and they
kept banging away down the ravine.
The heavily loaded guns spurted fire
and roared till every report seemed to
split the very trees as it went echoing
through the woods.
When the excitement was past, wo
gathered round the fire again. Most
of us felt rather sheepish over the
escape of the tiger; but Several de-
clared that he must be mortally wound-
ed, and that we'd find him dead come-
where. But’as we couldn't track him
in the dark, we all returned to our
homes.
‘The next morning we came back and
tgok up the trail. We fonnd several
badly scarred trees; but thére wasn't
any blood on the snow, or any other
evidence that the tiger had been hit.
In fact, there was pretty good evi-
dence that he wasn't hurt at all; for
we tracked him as far as we could
into the swamp, and the last we saw
of his trail he was still going, fifteen
feet at a jump. He must have been
pretty badly scorched, and ne was
eertainly badly scared.
For a year we half expected him to
come back, but be didn’t; and after
that night we never beard of him
again, I suppose his experience with
the fre convinced him that life on the
uplands wasn't very attractive. So he
went back to his native swamps and
stayed there—Youth's Companion.

cases of this sort deponds op“the con-
dition of the vaater as to its cleanll-

to those with not dverstrong constitu

“The best thing I know of to bring

Disastrous Wrecks.
Carelessness is responsible for many a railway wreck and the same causes are making human wrecks of sufferers from Throat and Lung troubles. But since the advent of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, even the worse cases can be cured and hopeless resignation is no longer necessary. Mrs. Lois Dragg of Dorchester, Mass., is one of many whose life was saved by Dr. King's New Discovery. This great remedy is guaranteed for all Throat and Lung diseases by Knight's Pharmacy Price 50c, and $1.00. Trial bottles free.
A Just Strike.
It is not generally known that there is a strike in the city. The reason of this is that the strikers have in a quiet and dignified way made their demands and are, acting in an orderly manner thereby making more friends for themselves and which will have a tendency of securing what they are justly contending for.
The men who are on the strike are the freight handlers of the Merchants and Miners Transportation and Ocean Steamship Companies. These men are all members of the Inter National Longhoremen, Marine and Transport Workers Association, Local No. 442, with Mr. Josiah A. Cohen as president. Several months ago the association authorized the president to communicate with the managers of the ocean liners, requesting an increase in pay. The request was only for five cents an hour more for all workers and ten cents an hour for over time and on Sundays. The amounts that the men were getting are fifteen cents an hour for those on the wharf, or truckers, seventeen and a half cent for those in the ship and twenty cents for the headers. The request for an increase was substantiated by facts showing that the increased cost of living caused it. For a time this request for an increase was ignored by both companies and when the managers were confronted and told of the grievances of the men, they made light of them and refused the increase. The men then "went up the hill" and have not returned to work. The companies were then placed in a straightened position; ships continued to arrive without helps to unload them and those in port unable to leave for want of freight. The surrounding counties and cities were scoured for helps which resulted in the securing of a number of green hands who caused more trouble than good they did. Many of them also were badly injured on account of their inexperience.
The demand of the freight handlers for increase pay is a just one. While at work these men are faithful and efficient; they never leaved at work but to the contrary are always going as some say "like race horses". Persons who visited the northern terminals of these lines and compare the freight handlers there with those at the southern end can easily see that the southern helpers are more valuable, and in fact the amount of work done by one of them doubles that done by a northern worker, yet these workers get a considerable larger amount than the men on the strike. The companies should look at the matter in this light and accede to the demands of these faithful workers
By refusing to allow the men the very small amounts that they asked for, the companies have lost thousands of dollars and at the same time delaying the delivering of the merchants' freight. The sympathy of every laboring man is with these strikers in their just demand, and they are working to prevent green helps coming here to take the strikers' place. Last week Mr. W. M. Chisholm visited Charleston in the interest of the strikers and advised the laboring men not to come here. He distributed thousands of circulars con- containing the following:
"The strike is Still On! We ask you to hands off, and let us manage our own affairs. We as Union Freight Handlers who are working for the Ocean Steamship Lines of Savannah asking for an increase of five and ten cents on the hour. We also ask every race loving man to help us in the struggle by staying away, so that manhood rights and justice will be maintained. We are your brothers in black, L. F. H. 422."
It is hoped by the strikers that these circulars scattered throughout the surrounding places will have the desired effect in keeping away undesirable helps. The city is already flooded with many that have caused the low price of labor. It is far better for them to stay away unless they will maintain the proper price for labor. The strikers are determined to stay away from the wharves until their demands are granted. They are loyal to their organization and are holding daily meetings. They are of a class of men that does much to build up the city and especially the retail merchants, and every ad should be given them in their contention for a more amicable adjustment of the price for their labor.
On Wednesday afternoon the union was visited by Messrs Walter S. Scott, L S. Reed and THE TRIBUNE representative, each of whom made short talks of encouragement.

Mrs. L. C. Glover, Vice Pres. Milwaukee, Wis., Business Woman's Association, is another one of the million women who have been restored to health by using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: I was married for several years, and no children blessed my home. The doctor said I had a complication of female troubles and I could not have any children unless I could be cured. He tried to cure me, but after experimenting for several months, my husband became disgusted, and one night when we noticed a testimonial of a woman who had been cured of similar trouble through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, he went out and bought a bottle for me. I used your medicine for three and one half months, improving steadily in health, and in twenty-two months a child came. I cannot fully express the joy and thankfulness that is in my heart. Our home is a different place now, as we have something to live for, and all the credit is due to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Yours very sincerely, Mrs. L. C. Glover, 614 Grove St., Milwaukee, Wis." Vice President, Milwaukee Business Woman's Ass'n.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that is curing women, and don't allow any druggist to sell you anything in its place.

Chicago In Babylonia.
President Harper of the University of Chicago has succeeded in securing from the Sultan the right to explore the ruins of ancient Babylon. The university has now obtained permission to excavate in Tel Ibrahim. Application was made to the Sultan for permission to explore the ruins of Babylon and its neighborhood in 1900, and after long delays it was granted. But further delays occurred and the trade was not issued. Then it was discovered that the Germans had received permission to explore the same territory. It is believed that the ruins of the temple in which Nebuchadnezzar offered sacrifices in 580 B. C., and also an extensive library of clay tablets, will be uncovered.

NOT A COMMON THIEF
The charge against the prisoner at the bar was embezzlement. It was alleged in the Indictment that he had "maliciously and feloniously appropriated and embezzled, for his own use, the sum of $500,000." "What say you?" he was asked. "Are you guilty or not guilty?" "The amount involved," haughtily responded the prisoner, "is a sufficient answer to that question. When a man gets away with half a million it is not embezzlement. It is merely diverting money into unconventional channels."—Chicago Tribune.

AN APPALLING 'DISASTER
Passenger and Freight Trains Collide in Indianapolis Suburbs, Scattering Death and Destruction. Sixteen Dead; Fifty Hurt.
A special from Indianapolis, Ind., says: Fifteen persons were killed and over fifty injured, some fatally. Saturday morning by a collision between a special passenger train on the Big Four railroad and a freight engine drawing coal cars. The accident happened in the edge of the city.
The passenger train of twelve coaches was carrying 954 persons, nearly all of whom were students of Purdue university, and their friends from Lafayette to Indianapolis, for the annual football game between the Purdue team and the Indiana university squad for the state championship which was to have been fought Saturday afternoon. In the first coach back of the engine were the Purdue football team, substitute players and managers. Three players, the assistant coach, trainer and seven substitute players of the university team were killed and every one of the fifty-three other persons in the car were either fatally or seriously injured. From Joy to Gloom.
From the twelve passenger coaches were coming the joyous cries of a thousand rooters for Purdue, clad in gala dress with colors streaming, while in the front coach sat twenty muscular fellows trained to the hour, on whom the hopes of a brilliant victory on the gridtron were confidently placed.
Around a curve at the Eighteenth street cut, Engineer Schumaker found directly in front of him the freight engine and coal cars moving slowly from a switch leading to a gravel pit. He reversed his engine and jumped.
The crash hurled the passenger engine and three front coaches against the steel freight cars loaded with coal that plowed their way through and hurried under a pile or wreckage weighing many tons fully sixty human belings.
The first car, in which were the players, was completely demolished, the roof being torn away and landing across a car of coal, while the body of the car was reduced to kindling wood against the side of the steel freight cars. The second coach, containing the band of musicians, was partially telescoped, while the third was overturned and hurled down a 15-foot embankment.
The other coaches did not leave the track. Immediately after the shock the passengers,men and women, began the work of tearing away the wreckage and pulling out dead and dying classmates and fraternity brothers. The young women performed heroic work. Though the bodies were in several instances horribly mangled—one completely and one partially beheaded—they took upon their laps the heads of the dying and injured and soothed their sufferings as best they could until the surgeons arrived.
A general alarm was sounded and every assistance the city could afford was rushed to the wreck, which was three miles from the business center. While the dead and injured were being carrid to the morgues and hospitals, the work of tearing away the wreck and rescuing those pinned beneath went on. Big muscular students wept aloud as they stood over the bodies of their dead friends and fellow workers or gazed helpless on the sufferings of their college mates writhing in pain. To add to the horror the wreckage caught, fire, but the flames were extinguished by the students after a hard fight.
While the work of rescue was going on there arrived in the city the opposing team and over nine hundred cheering followers of the red and white of Indiana university at Bloomington. As the happy and excited students poured from the train news of the tragedy to the black and gold of Perdue was received. Instantly all was sadness and sympathy. The strong melted into sorrowing groups that separated to search the morgue and hospital for friends or took cars for the scene of the wreck to lend any possible aid.
The Sixteenth Victim.
William Bailey, of New Richmond, Ind., sub-player on the Purdue university football team, died Sunday afternoon from internal injuries received in the Big Four wreck. This is the sixteenth death.
Fourteen dead bodies were shipped to their homes during the day.

How a Farmer was freed from Misery
ORTHY of a higher recommendation than I can find words to express." This is what Mr. J. H. Plangman (of Sherman, Tex.) says of Doan's Kidney Pills. He tells his experience in the following words: He says, "Sometime in September I was taken with a dull aching pain across the small of my back, directly over the kidneys. I paid small attention to this at first, thinking it would pass off. But instead of getting, better it became worse and in a short time the pain centered through my left hip and
Pain across the small of the back.
It does not always show itself at first, but appears just in this way, when some unusual movement or action brings sharp pains and exhaustive aches, telling of slick kid-pees.
So Mr. Plangman's experience bore this out. Continuing, he says: "I did not know the cause of the trouble, but I am led to believe now that it was first brought about by jumping in and out of the wagon and in some way I may have strained my back.
"I was constantly growing worse," he continues, "and I became very much alarmed about my condition. I know that something had to be done or serious results were sure to follow. I went to a specialist here in Sherman, and underwent a rigid examination."
Then he relates how the doctor told him that it was a serious case, but that he could cure him for fifty dollars.

However, necessity knows no law and Mr. Plangman paid half down and took the treatment and followed it faithfully for four weeks. Naturally, he thought that he would soon be rid of the trouble, but in spite of the doctoring he goes on to add, "I was in such misery that it was almost impossible for me to do my work." "It was at this juncture that Doan's Kidney Pills came to my notice and I procured some from the drug store of C. E. Craycroft. I used these pills according to directions and to my surprise I was considerably relieved on the second day and in a short time completely cured."
Kidney Pills came to my notice and I procured some from the drug store of C. E. Craycroft. I used these pills according to directions and to my surprise I was considerably relieved on the second day and in a short time completely cured."
This is the universal experience of those who have been sufferers from Kidney trouble and who have been fortunate enough to test the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills.
There is nothing wonderful or magical about this remedy, it simply does the work by direct action on the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only and this accounts for their speedy and certain action.
