As Drafted by Select Committee on Impeachment. MANY CRIMES ARE .LAID Is Styled as Unjust Judge, Accused of Obtaining Money Under False Pretenses and Passing Malicious Sentences. A Washington special says: The select committee of the house appointed to draft articles of impeachment against Federal Judge Swayne completed its work Tuesday by the preparation of twelve articles of impeachment. They embrace obtaining money by False pretenses; using the property of a bankrupt corporation in the hands of a receiver appointed by himself and without making compensation to the company; for disobeying the law requiring him to live in his district; for "unlawfully and maliciously" firing and imprisoning E. T. Davle and Simeon-Belden, attorneys at law; for alleged contempt of the circuit court of the United States; for "unlawfully committing to prison" W. C. O'Neal, on the charge that he had committed contempt of the district court of the United States. The first article, as formulated by the majority, declares that Judge Swayne, on April 20, 1902, at Waco, Texas, presented a false claim against the government for $230, knowing it to be false. The copy of the certificate made by Swayne is given in which he says that for sixty-three days "my reasonable expenses were $230." On this account he is charged with a high crime and misdemeanor. Article 2 relates to charges of $10 a day while at Tyler, Texas, when his expenses were less, and alleges that he obtained money from the government by false pretense. Article 3 contains similar charges, but cites another occasion. Article 4 charges Judge Swayne with appropriating to his own use, without compensation to the owner, a car belonging to the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West Railroad Company to transport himself,family and friends from Guyencourt, Dela., to Jacksonville, Fla., the railroad at that time being in the hands of a receiver, appointed by Swayne and that as judge he allowed the credit claimed by the receiver on account of necessary expense in operating the road. Judge Swayne is also charged with an abuse of official power and high misdemeanor. Article 5 charges that he appropriated to his own use the same car for a trip to California and a like allegation to article 4 against him is made Article 6 charges that Judge Swayne did not acquire a residence in the northern district of Florida, as provided by the statutes, saying "he totally disregarded his duty," and wilfully and knowingly violated the law and is guilty of a high misdemeanor. Article 7 alleges non-residence and carries the period of non-residence from July 23, 1894, to January 1, 1903, a period of about nine years, and alleges a violation of law and misdemeanor. Article 8 charges that "on the 12th day of November, 1901, at the city of Pensacola, in the county of Escambia, in the state of Florida, he did maliciously and unlawfully adjudge guilty of contempt of court and impose a fine of $100 upon and commit to prison for a period of ten days E.T. Davis, an attorney and counsellor at law, for an alleged contempt of the circuit court of the United States," and in said matter "is guilty of an abuse of judicial power and of a high misdemeanor in office." The last articles allege an abuse of judicial power in that he committed W. C. O'Neal to prison for sixty days for an alleged contempt of the district court at Pensacola, December 9, 1902, which the committee holds to constitute a high misdemeanor in office. Congressman Baker Accuses President of Such Ambition. The house Friday, passed the fortification appropriation bill and adjourned until Monday. After Mr. Littauer, of New York, had drawn a lesson from the siege of Port Arthur to show that submarine mines had proven of the greatest importance in warfare, Mr. Baker enlivened the proceedings by attacking President Roosevelt, who he said wanted to hold himself up as the "counterpart of Wilhelm II, the great war god." ADAMS INAUGURATED. Colorado Legislature Installa Democrat as Prelude to Most Strenuous Contest to Come. A Denver, Col., special says: Standing beneath the draped folds of the American flag while the walls about him and the floor beneath him trembled in response to cannon that roared a salute in his honor, Alva Adams was at noon Tuesday inaugurated governor of Colorado. At his side was the athletic form of the ex-governor, Jas. Peabody, who will inaugurate the most energetic contest that Colorado has ever seen for the right to fill the position that Governor Adams has just sworn to administer to the best of his powers. The inauguration ceremonies were simple in the extreme. Arm in arm, the two men, Peabody on the right, Adams on the left, entered the house, which was almost packed to suffocation. Lieutenant Governor Haggott, presiding over the joint session of the legislature, greeted both men as they stepped on the rostrum with a shake of the hand and seated Governor Peabody on his right, the governor-elect on his left. "The chief justice will now administer the oath of office to Alva Adams," he said. Chief Justice Gabbert stepped forward and in a few seconds the oath was given and taken and Alva Adams was the governor of Colorado. Lideutenant Governor Haggott, still reserving the seat of honor for governor of the state, requested Governor Peabody to change seats with Governor Adams, and the man who went out passed to the left of the presiding officer, while the man who came in 'took the post of honor on his right. In his inaugural address Governor Adams said in part: "During the past two years Colorado has had' many incidents to regret, many deeds to deplore, but much of our evil fame is due more to our own exaggerations than to facts. The truth has been bad enough without the partisan color. Lies need no press agent. It is not true that half the voters of Colorado are dynamiters and anarchists, nor is it true that the other half are shylocks or oppressors. We cannot complain if the world takes us at our own estimate. Hereafter when we print our own picture, let us use a brush that will not hide all our virtues and intensify our faults. "While strikes may not be forbidden we may dream of the reign of justice, we may hope for conditions and laws that will make strikes unnecessary. "First among these enactments, in obedience to the expressed mandate of the people should be an honest eighth-hour law. This both parties promised the people. Let that promise be kept. "Next, an amendment to the arbitration, nor does it lead to a compulsory submission of any grievance or difference between employer and employee. This is not compulsory arbitration, nor does sit lead to a compulsory decree, but it does compel a conference, and where the parties to an industrial conflict honestly confer, a settlement is almost certain. "The elections in Denver, Teller, Pueblo, Las Animas and several other counties indicate a needed change in our election laws. No assault upon free government is as serious as, a corrupt ballot. The public ballot is the very heart of our governmental system, and where that fails, democracy is a failure and a free republic a delusion. In framing your election laws, see that the meshes are strong enough to hold the big election thief as well as the small." POSTMASTER SKIPS OUT. Meeks Alleged to Be Short In Accounts to Amount of $2,300. The little town of Nichols, Ga., on the Atlantic and Birmingham railroad, 12 miles east of Douglas, has a sensation in the mysterious disappearance of its postmaster, Gilbert Meeks. It is alleged that his office has been checked up and that he is found to be $2,300 short in his money order department accounts. SHIPWRECKED CREW ARRIVES. Seven Survivors of Ill-Fated Marpesla Are Landed at New York. Seven survivors of the ill-fated Norwegian ship Marpesia, which was wrecked at sea on Christmas day by an explosion of naptha, resulting in the death of eleven members of our crew, arrived in New York Tuesday, on the steamer Trinidad from Bermuda. They had been rescued by the Danish steamer Gallia, which happened by just at the moment when the Marpesia was blown into a shapeless mass. ADAMS WINS OUT Legislature of Colorado Declares Democrat Elected. PEABODY WILL CONTEST After Strenuous Wrangle of Solons at Denver, Col., Alleged "Dove of Peace" Brings Order Out of Chaos. A Denver, Colo., special says: Alva Adams was declared by the legislature Saturday night to be the duly elected governor of Colorado. The returns showed Adams 123,028, Peabody 113,304. Plurality for Adams, 9,774. A cheer greeted the announcement of the resplit of the election when made by Lieutenant Governor Haggott. The republican candidates to all the other offices were declared elected. Under the terms of the agreement reached during the day by the various factions in the legislature no notice of contest will be filed by Governor Peabody until after the inauguration of Mr. Adams, which was set for 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. When the legislature convened Saturday morning Representative William Griffith, of Cripple Creek, asked for a recess until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, giving as his reason for the request that "the winged dove of peace is about to light on the dome of the capitol." It was nine long hours before the dove came down, and many and devious had been her flights before she lit. It was a day given over to secret caucuses, to conferences, to proposition and counter proposition. It was finally agreed at 5 o'clock in the afternoon that the vote should be canvassed, that Alva Adams should be declared governor, and that no contest should be made for the office until his inauguration at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. Throughout the entire struggle for the governorship the chief aim of both democrats and republicans has been the appointment of two new judges to the supreme court. The question of whether Peabody or Adams sat in the governor's office was a secondary matter. The Wolcott republicans were insistent in their demand that they be recognized in the appointment of the judges, and it was finally agreed that the appointees should be George W. Bailey of Fort Collins and L. W. Goddard of Denver. The Wolcott men made a strong fight for Judge M. E. Leads of Colorado. Springs, whom they preferred to Goddard, but they finally withdrew. When the republican leaders called upon Governor Peabody to inform him of the conclusions they had reached, and to tell him that his only hope of a second term lay through a contest in the republican legislature, they were met by a wrathful and indignant man. He refused to accede to their wishes, and for hours his friends labored with him. It was only the personal pleadings of some of his closest friends that finally induced him to agree to the plan proposed and to send in the names of Bailey and Goddard to the senate for confirmation. Governor-elect Adams is quoted as saying: "I do not know whether Governor Peabody will make a contest or not, but I expect that he will. I am in much better position for such a proceeding now than I was two days ago. At that time the investigation was confined by the court to the city and county of Denver. Now, it includes the whole state, and I feel confident that the democrats can show as many or more fraudulent republican votes, in the outlying counties as the republicans claim were cast by the democrats in Denver. "I am certain of the result if the entire, state is brought into the contest, as it must be, if Governor Peabody decides on such a course." MOODY, RESUMES ARGUMENT. Attorney General Hurle Shafts at the Beef Trust-in High Court. Monday, Attorney General Moody resumed his argument on behalf of the government before the supreme court of the United States in the case of Swift & Co. vs. the United States, commonly known as the Beef Trust case, begun last Friday. Mr. Moody declared the inquiry had narrowed down to only two questions for the determination of the court. Whether the commerce in the case was commerce among the states, and if so, whether the agreements constitute a monopoly on any part of it. FACTS ARE COMING FACTS ARE COMING Census Bureau to Furnish Information Anent Cotton. Under Resolution Adopted by Representatives, Director North Will Make a Full Report Without Delay. The resolution requesting the census bureau to furnish a detailed statement concerning reports made to it by cotton ginners was offered in the house Monday by Minority Leader Williams of Mississippi, and, by unanimous consent, was immediately called up and adopted. Information from the census bureau is to the effect that the facts asked for will be sent to congress without any delay. One statement will show the number of bales of cotton ginned in each county in the cotton belt up to the four dates on which the four census bureau reports issued so far this weapon have been based. Another will show the amount ginned by each gin in two typical counties in each state up to the four dates mentioned, together with the location of each gin. This will make possible an exact and complete check in twenty-four counties and a general check in every county that grows the staple. Census Director North is in full accord with the movement, the sole purpose of which is to bring out all available facts which will tend to show whether ginners have held back or padded their returns, and consequently whether the census bureau reports are accurate, too large, or too small. The typical counties named in the Williams resolution were suggested by a congressman from each state affected, as follows: Texas, Beall; Georgia, Bartlett; Louisiana, Braceae; Alabama, Clayton; Arkansas, Robinson; Mississippi, Williams; Florida, Lamar; South Carolina, Lever; North Carolina, Patterson; Tennessee, Sims; Indian Territory, Lovering of Massachusetts; Oklahoma, Burleson of Texas. Chairman Crumpacker of the house committee on the census included in the report a very interesting letter sent to Mr. Burleson by Census Director North, which, in part, is as follows: "In reply to your request, I beg to state that the cost of gathering under your resolution the statistics of cotton consumption, stock held by manufacturers and cotton exported, assuming that the information is to be collected by correspondence on the blanks furnished by the census office, in franked envelopes supplied by it, would be inappreciable in amount and would require no increase in the appropriation already provided by the house of representatives for carrying on the work of the office during the coming fiscal year. The monthly statistics of cotton exports are already collected by the government, and can be included without any expense whatever. "It would cost a large sum of money to collect this information in any other way than through the malls. There were, 1,550 cotton manufacturing establishments in the United States in 1900, located in 35 different states, and their number has since ed States, and their number has since largely increased." WARSHIPS HEADED SOUTH. Great Sea Fighters on Their Way to Winter Maneuvering Grounds, Headed by the first class battleship Kearsarge, flying the blue pennant of Rear Admiral Barker, eighteen warships of the United States navy, left Norfolk Monday night on their way down the coast to the winter maneuvering grounds after having been inspected and reviewed in Hampton Roads during the day by Secretary of the Navy Paul Morton and Admiral George Dewey. WIDOW MARCUM WINS SUIT. Jury Awards Her $8,000 for the Assassination of Her Hueband. At Winchester, Ky., the jury in the case of Mrs. Amelia Marcum, who sied Judge James Hargis, exsults senator Alex Hargis, Sheriff Ed Callahan, of Brethlitt county, and Attorney Fulton French, for $100,000, for alleged conspiracy with Curtia Jeff and Thomas White to slay her husband, James Bi Marcum, returned a verdict for $8,000 against James Hargis and Sheriff Callahan and found for the defendants in the case of French and Alex Hargis. STOESSEL MEETS NOGI Vanquished and Victorious Generals Felicitate Each Other at Specially Arranged Conference. The meeting of General Nogi and General Stoessel at Port Arthur Saturday was as dramatic as the conclusion of the siege. It had been previously arranged to take place at noon in the single undamaged house of the village of Shuishl. The house was a miserable hotel called Plum Tree cottage. Through a misunderstanding General Stoessel rode to the meeting place an hour ahead of time. When the two generals faced each other they cordially shook hands and Nogi, through an interpreter, expressed his pleasure at meeting the hero, the general who had fought so bravely and gallantly for his emperor and his country. General Stoessel thanked General Nogi for the pleasure of meeting the hero of the victorious army. General Nogi explained that he had received a message from his emperor asking that the greatest consideration be shown to General StoeSEL and his officers in appreciation of their splendid loyalty to their emperor and country. Because of that wish, he added, the Russians would be allowed to retain their swords. General StoeSEL expressed his gratitude to the Japanese emperor for thus saving the honor of his (StoeSEL's) family and said his descendants would appreciate the thoughtful kindness of the emperor of Japan. The general also expressed the gratitude of his officers and thanked Nogi for sending the message from StoeSEL to Emperor Nicholas and transmitting his majesty's reply, which read: "I allow each officer to profit by the reserved privilege to return to Russia under the obligation not to take further part in the present war or share in the distinction thereof. "I thank you and the brave men of the garrison for the gallant defense." Both generals then mutually praised each other and their officers for their bravery. The conversation afterwards turned on the explosion of the mine at Sungshue mountain fort. General Stoeckel said the entire garrison of the fort was killed or made prisoners. Continuing, General Stoeckel said he had heard that General Nogi had lost both of his sons and praised his loyalty in thus sacrificing his sons, who had died fighting for their emperor and country. General Nogi, smilingI replied: "One of my sons gave his life at Nanshan and the other at 203-Meter hill. Both of these positions were of the greatest importance to the Japanese army. I am glad that the sacrifice of my sons' lives had been in the capture of such important positions, as I feel the sacrifices were not made in vain. Their lives were nothing compared to the objects sought." General Stoessel then asked permission to present his charger to General Nogi as a token of his appreciation and admiration. General Nogi expressed his thanks for the Russian general's kindness, but said he could not accept the horse, but, he continued, he would accept it for the army, since he considered that the Russian horses were the property of Japan and felt he could-not make General Stoessel's charger his personal property. The Japanese commander requeste1 General Stoessel to continue to occupy his residence at Port Arthru until arrangements were completed for the return of himself and family to Russia. FARMERS BURN COTTON. Lively Time Enjoyed by Planters In Stratee of Little Alhambra Town Streets of Little Alabama Town. The streets of Brantley, Ala., "were very lively Friday afternoon; occasioned by a bonfire of cotton. The cotton was furnished by the farmers of Crenshaw county, and the burning was witnessed by crowds of people. Fire works were displayed and shouts from bystanders went up as the cotton was seen to burn. GARRISON EVACUATES FONT. Only Eighty Russian Officers Accept Parole Offered by Japs. Advices from Port. Arthur state that only, eighty Russian officers, have accepted people. All the regular Russian troops have marched out of Port Arthur, and will leave for Port Dainy. Japanese troops surrendered the city. Thursday to keep open. Noncombatants, are allowed the option of remaining at Port Arthur. The Japanese, gave is removing the mines and the Japanese bulks at the harbor mouth. All the detainees have been taken over by the Japanese. Czar Says to Stop War Now Would Be a Disgrace. An Associated Press dispatch from St. Petersburg says: Regarding the peace talk abroad, M. Souvorin, editor of the Novoe Vremyn, in a signed editorial in that paper Friday, passionately declares that the voice of the nation should give an answer is order that the world might understand once for all Russia's position. The emperor, he added, should consult with the representatives of the land, as his predecessors did before the days of John the Terrible. While papers abroad now say that peace could be concluded without dishonor, if peace were made they would declare it disgraceful. What the people want he (M. Souvorin) possibly cannot affirm, but the idea of ending the war at this juncture is abhorrent to him and, he believes, to the Russian people. The army; M. Souvorin further says, holds the honor and fate of Russia in its hands. M. Souvorin then reviews sorrowfully the record of bitter humiliations suffered thus far and the chances for the future. In concluding, he declares the government must decide and weigh well the consequences, but the editor insists the people must be united, as "disunion, riots and revolution mean the downfall of the Fatherland." A Washington special says: Japan has made no overtures for peace to Russia, directly or indirectly, through the United States or any other power, and contemplates no such action, and now that Port Arthur has fallen, proposes to press the war in the north all the more vigorously by reinforcing the Japanese armies at Liao-Yang, with the greater part of the troops which have been besieging Port Arthur. This, in brief, represents the views of Mr. Kogoro Takahim, Japanese minister, who has recently resumed charge of the legation at Washington after a long illness at New York. "The fall of Port Arthur," said the minister, "is but a step in the war which Japan is waging for a principle. Certainly it is an important step, but nothing could be further from the truth than the assumption that because Japan has captured a stronghold, the fall of which has long been expected, the Japanese government will now make overtures for peace. Japan is too busy fighting. We are as much in earnest today as we were at the outset of the war. We have made no overtures for peace, either directly or indirectly, nor have the powers approached us with any idea of intervention." At the Russian embassy it was reiterated that Russia would fight all the harder in view of the temporary loss of Port Arthur. Europe, it is feared, is firmly of the conviction that; however dark the outlook for peace at this moment when the prospect brightens, it is to President Roosevelt that the neutralis, as well as the belligerents, will look as the intermediary through whom peace negotiations will be initiated. As a European ambassador says, the American government is practically the only government to which both belligerents will be willing to look for assistance in reaching a settlement when the time comes and aside from this fact, the high personal regard in which the president is held both at St. Petersburg and Tokyo makes it all the more probable that through him when Russia and Japan have fought their fight, the powers must hope for peace. HAMPTON ROADS REVIEW Distinguished Party, of Naval Officers | Leave Washington | The disappointed boat Dolphin sailed from the navy yard at Washington Sunday with a distinguished crew bound for Hampton Roads for the pose of reviewing the results of the North Atlantic fleet preparations to their participation in the naval exercises in the Caribbean sea later in the winter. The party included Secretary Monton, Admiral Dewey, Captain Browne of the general board, and Lieutenant F. manders F. T. Champin and Spencer S. Wood. BLESSED is the man who is able to make friends and retain them. Those of our farmers who have cotton and are able to, should not sell. The price will not remain at its present standard. It can not be said other than the Colored men who are holding important federal positions are discharging their duties faithfully and efficiently. THE American Baptist, published at Louisville, Ky., has reached its twenty-seventh year. The Baptist is one of our punctual and most valued exchanges. Editor Steward is among our oldest and ablest editors. JEFF DAVIS, the newly elected governor of Arkansas, has declared, in his inaugural the separation of the school fund by dividing the taxes paid by the races. Legislation on this line will not prove beneficial to the best interest of the state, nor to its citizens. THE Farmers Conference at the Georgia State College next month will be an interesting affair. Well-known, and able speakers will be present. Each farmer in this section should make it his business to be present. Chatham County should be the banner County for attendance. MR. FELDER in his speech before the Democratic electors last week bemoaned the fact that the Democrats of the South are ostracised so far as recognition in federal positions are concerned. Mr. Felder nor one else should complain about this matter. They represent the party that predominates in this section, but does not hold sway nationally, therefore should not complain if another party is in ascendency and its adherents recognized. THERE are certain men of the opposite race who make it their business to be continually harping about the appointing of Colored men to office. To hear these men speak would lead one to believe that Colored people monopolize all of the offices in the South. The claim that they make is not upheld by facts. There are but few Colored men holding offices in the South, by far less than there should be. There are not more than a dozen of them holding first class positions in the entire South. Their fealty to the party in power should cause the appointment of many more of them. It is not clearly understood why so much fuss should be made about these few men, other than it is a case of enviousness. As before stated the number holding first class positions is small and we are sure that President Roosevelt will not adhere to the bickerings of those of an opposite party and cut down in any manner that number. Best and Recreation. Along the line of justifiable extravagance let me make a plea for more recreation for the busy housewife. In caring for her home and loved ones she is too apt to forget the duty she owes herself, and almost before she is aware of the fact she is growing nervous, feels discouraged and irritable. At such a time let her pause and consider not how much she will save by continuing in the same old rut, but how much she will gain by laying aside her work for a time, that she may rest and recuperate. Do not wait until tired Nature calls a halt, but make a practice of taking one or two vacations every year—going where you can, really rest, and have time to think not of the work you have left behind (that will take care of itself), but of the benefit yourself and loved ones will gain. These short separations "make the heart grow fonder," and the dear ones will also learn from your absence how necessary you are to them. Time and money spent more freely this way will "really pay in the end," will mean better health for wife and mother, a large bank-account happier home—January in a Home Companion. Farmers Conference. Sixth Annual Farmers Conference to be held at the Georgia State Industrial College Feb. 16-17. Is all the talk. Pres. Wright is daily receiving, assurance from different counties of the State that some of the best farmers will be present.

Well, some facts are even reader, but these are not the kind that The Tribune Almanac deals in. By way of verifying that, just take a cursory glance over the issue for 1905, which is now on sale. It is not an Almanac in the dictionary sense of the word, but is really a ready reference and guide book, containing everything that such a compilation ought to have. And the material has been garnered and sifted and tested with the utmost care so as to secure absolute accuracy, or at least get as near to it as honest, painstaking endeavor will bring one. Herein will be found a perfect gold mine of information on topics of interest, not only to every American, but likewise to all who care to know about us, our laws, population, officials, and so forth. (And, by the way; if you have any friends in Europe, just send them a copy and see if they dont appreciate it.) There isn't anything missing in the way of records which the average man will want to know about. It doesn't matter what the subject—pension legislation, sporting, statistics, facts about universities, colleges, patriotic societies, population, public officials, to say nothing of a condensed guide of New York City, a map of the underground railroad system, showing the location of stations, and a table telling railroad distances, fares, etc. In fact, it is really not an exaggeration to say that of the hundred and one things a sane person wants to know, at least ninety-nine, will be found in The Tribune Almanac.

THE OUTLOOK FOR 1903. ‘ The fashion outlook for this. season was never so bewilderingly complex as ut the present moment. Never were there so many absolutely: diverse styles to choose from, each and every one bearing the all mark of the very “latest design, and also belng indescrib- ably j'smart.” Crinoline is more than hinted at, for there are underskirts made to wear with street and hous2 gowns that have two and three pleces of feather Lone inserter, ia tucks or cordings, so tbat the skirt stands out almost as dld the crizioline skitts of olden time. In truth, ‘Some ald is necessary to hold out sneh ‘width of skirt as 18 required in the fashionable gown. intended «for late autumn or carly winter wear. * Cloth co:tumes will be extremely fashionable, s> also will velvet and Nelvetecn cossumes, while among the mew msterials are many so-called vel- vets and yelveteens that bear the strongest pcssible resemblance to plush—but with rather a shorter nap ‘than was fashionable when plush was Jast ia favor.

SEASON'S LATEST TRIMMINGS. Every fashionable suit with one ex- ception, aud that is the strictly tailor- made, is trimmed and frequently it reaches to stich a desree of claborate- ness that tho suitsappear Just the least Dit over trimmed. The latest walking suit also has the same fault if St may de termed eo, and in fact everythloz ‘which fs new this season has a large amount of decoration. When fur is uscd great care must be taken to sec that the effect is not too foreign. That is, little dabs of fur cannot be used, as =ro other trimmings, but among the suits on which fur has been employed it is noticeable that it 1s used entirely tegether. Skirt trimming fs a rather risky undertaking at any rate, and the ‘greatest caution must be taken when the wearer is either. too short or too sigider. A novelty has been discovered for the use of straight bralds and the fashionable modistes are using the straight silk quality, and making thelr own designs. Some of the newest em- brojderies show exquisite combinations in the Idtest shades, and one has a stunning golden thread woven.in and ‘out of the little flower designs. “Some of the Imported appliques, which bring forth the latest blendings ia colors, are workmanship of the high- est art and never before have they Deen known to be made with such ini- ‘nite taste—New Haven Register. HOME MADE BEAUTY. ‘They are telling many tales of Lady Feversham in England these days. Her daughter, Lady Ulrica Duncombe, who is declared by artists and sculptors to be the most beautiful unmarried woman in Eagland soclety, 1s soon to marry Colonel Everard Baring, brothet of Lord Revelstoke. It is sald that Lady Ulrlea’s beauty $s largely due to the extraordinary vigilance and com- monsense of her mother, who superin- tended in every particular the regimen Jed by her daughters when they were children. It seems that when Lady Ulrica was 2 child her mother never permitted her to go out in the sun without a veil, This prevented tan and ‘freckles, and Kept the face soft tind tender. Every ‘hour was subdivided into perlods for alternate study and rest. Her food yas carefully selected, welghed and jmeasured in order to insure ‘not only health, but to produce beanty of form and perfect coloring. Lady Ulrica did not go in for ath- Ietics. ,Shé swam and walked, but she hever played tennis or' golf in the hot ‘yun or danced till morning in hot halt Tooms., She cared hothing for society, nd after graduating from Girtotly Cambridge, became a trained huss and spent, years in the slums of Lon- don, Wheb asked once how to diet for beauty, Lady Uirlea laughed and said: “Eat meat only once a week, or never -more often than once a day, Drink tea or milk instead of wine; bread and butter instead of pastry.” She recom- mended also plenty of fresh air and cold batbsPhiladelphia Inquirer, “BLUEBELL” LIKE HYMN TUNP. One of the most whistled songs of the season has been “Bluebell.” Its composer is Theodore Morse, formerly employed In Ditson’s music store and the composer of “The Cocoanut Tree” and “['ye a Feellng For You.” ‘One of the rarely sung hymn tunes of the Protestant Episcopal Church is “Watermouti,” the name of the bymn composed hy H. A. Mann in 1879 for Frances Ridley Havergal's “Oh Save four, Preclous Sayiour.” . A’ correspondent of the New York Sun, George Fentrick, has called at- tention to the striking similarity be- tween the chorus of the song and the hymn, “The, two were submitted yes- terday to a musiciau in charge of the publishing department-of a large mu- sie house. He played both numbers through on the plano and to the lay ear they were identical. , “There ig a Ittle chavge in the rhythm, for the song chorus is in march time,” he sald, “but the notes of the melody are identical. It may be that Mr. Morse never heard of the hymn and the jientity of the two com- positions may be entirely accidental. It can be sald that they really are the same alr and could not well be more altke. ‘The composer of “Bluebell” has drawn large réyalties from the sale of the song. He is connected with a song publishidg concern in West ‘Chirty- seventh street. : “{ never saw or heard of that hymn “Watermouth’ to my knowledge,” Mr. Morse told a Sun reporter yesterday, “and if ‘Bluebell’ resembles it so strongly It is mere colueldence. I have a German song written years ago that is very much like ‘Bluebell’ which 1 heard after thé song lad been pub- lished, and finally got hold of it with difficulty. “Then there is a little English song called ‘The Star,’ published more than fifty years ago. I heard it after *Blue- Dell’ ‘was, popular, and after a great deal of difficnity I got hold of it. They are, very much allke, almost the same, but I had never seen St before’my at- tention was called to it. Only a short time ago a man sent me a song from London which he had written some time ago, and wrote me that I ought to be ashamed to steal his song. It was like ‘Bluebell’ I sent him back the two old songs as an answer.” TO MOTHERS. T would fike to say some words or cheer and encouragement to the tired shothers who think thelr hearts and hands are full to overflowing. Take courage, dear motlers, the ttle ones will soon grow up, and perhaps all too soon they will be gone from our homes. Mothers, take tinte to love your little ones and enjoy their company. Only show your love for them und see how quickly they will respond. The thought that their being naughty makes mamma feel bad will restrain them more than any scolding, which never does any good. Ask God for strength and guidance and He will surely help. Never mind if their clothes cannot always Ue In the latest style; have them as neat as you can, says a writer In the Farm, Stock and Homie. I want to say to those who are griev- ing gver Jarge faimilies, don't do it You little know how soon thelr num- ber may be broken. I had a family of slx, but in one short week I'was called ‘upon to part with two of my darling sts. ‘So I want to say to the tired ones, take:cotirage; love them, and let them love you now, as this is the only, time we are sure of. | A woman that can raise and do for a large family skou'd be very happy. | She has woman's rights, right In band. I think a good, true wife and mother, well eared for, has all the woman's rights she needs of should want.

It will pay us to be strict with our little ones and teach them the way of right, whether thelr sheets and night dressés are Jroned or not. We will have something to be proud of some day. If we are careful in rearing-our own there will be no bad company for others, and they will make good, loy- ing busbands ‘and fathers, wives and ‘mothers, in thelr turn.

If the alr pressure could be otherwise it- creased, no water at all would coing iit For mbre than half « century this principle has been inade use of in sub- marine boats to provide a mode of egress for a diver. ‘In the Lake boat there is an “air-chamber" forward, in which the air pressure {s made a trifle greater than the water pressure outs aide. When a door in the bottom of the car fs opened no water comes in, and those in the boat, reaching down with a short rake, are able to plek up oysters, sponges or whatever they see on the bottom of the oceau. ‘The professor was a learned man, and he knew all about the theory of the case; but still be had not quite enough falth to trust- himself under rwater Ju a bottomless bont. fr. Lake took him into the diving compartment to exhibit it. = * After closing the airlock door be ‘noticed beads of perspiration standing ‘on the professor’s forelead. ‘When the compressed air came in with, a great noise, the professor grabbed one of the frames and looked longingly at the closed door. “By the way, professor.” sald Mr. Lake, turning off the air, “are you troubled with heart disease?” “Why, yes," he sald, “my heart is‘a little affected.” “Well, never mind,” sald the in- Yentor, “this Ilttle distance will not disturb you. If youfeel any pain, swallow as if you were drinking water.” ‘He turned on the alr again, and the professor began to swallow. During the half minute or so following, while the pressure wgs increasing, he swal- lowed enough, the Inventor sald after- ward, to have drowned himself. When the pressure was right, Mr. Lake stooped and began to unscrew the panel in the floor. “What are you doing?” demanded the professor. “Lam going to open this door so you can see the bottom.” “No, no,” sald the professor, throw- ing out his hamds, “don’t do that. 1 ould not put you to all that trouble for tle world."+ ‘Just then, however, the door dropped open. The professor, who bad turned deathly pale, started forward. Not a drop of water entered. As he saw the calm surface of it there beneath his feet, as unrufled as Sf it"had been the very top of the ocean, instead of al- most the bottom, the color came back to his fgce and he drew a great sigh. “Well!” he exclaimed. “Well! Of course I knew it wouldn’t come in. I know why it doesn’t come in, But if I had not seen it I should never have Delieved it?” EXAMPLE OF JAPANESE PLUCK It was a matter of less than half an hour before the Japanese held the main ridge to the left, or west, of the village of Suitean-za, aud the great flanking movement over the bills was ready to begin, from the point gained, about 9 o'clock. It was broiling hot at this hour, and she motionless air and the glaring sun promised ‘to make the land a veritable furnace before nightfall. The dirty khaki uniforms of the stockily bullt soldiers were wringing with water, but they marched forward briskly and avith no display of exhaustion, though they had been up all night and had al- ready worked three hours in a swelter of heat. ‘The fourteen hours’ march made by that regiment of.the Guards, in thd flanking movement, would have killed off half the men in any European or ‘Amerlean force long before the Jap- anese had finished {t, and were still keen to fight, and, notwithstanding this, the official report sayg.that the left-wibg division did not 4a) so well as was expected.

It was 10 o'clock in the morning when te saw coming ott from thelr hiding places 4 smidi{ band of Russian soldiers, That was the beginning of the fierce onslaught. It was as if some- body had revived in this civilized day of‘ ours the scenes from the old story vooks, when swords, spears, bows and arrows were the only weapons of war, and men slashed away at each other. It*was actually a hand to hand en- counter. It was'just at this time that we saw a Russlan officer rise from the ranks, and, leaping over the dead bodies of his men and, comrades, and putting -himself at the head of the tanks, try by his dating example to revive the spirits of his-men. Against the lurid background of blood and fire he made a supetb figure, always rush- ing in front of his men, his sword gleaming ever over the heads of the fighting men. ‘At last this officer rushed out, call- Ing always'and loudly upon bis men to follow. When he was within a few feet of our men he turned his head’ to see whether his men were obeying bis order. Instead of following at his heels, his soldiers were trampling upon each other in the mad effort to run away. ‘The sight broke bis heart, evi- dently. He turned the point of the sword he bad held against himself. An instant later he fell with bis heart plerced through.—A Japanese Officer, in Leslie's Monthly Magazines SAW THE OKAPL Major James Harrison bas just re~ turned to England after a prolonged Journey through the dense forests of Central Africa, during the course of which he saw the okapi in its natural -habltat. Major Harrison penetrated the Stanley Forest to the region peo- pled by the pygmles, in search of this animal. His efforts in this country were, however, not successful, so he directed his way to Jabir, and thence into the great forest of De Melley. ‘This forest is particularly dense, the trees being thickly interwoven with dense creepers and tangled under- growth; in fact, it,could only be pene- trated by crawling on the hands and knees, a most difficult and .arduous operation. On the sixth day afte: be had entered this forest, his party en- countered the spoor of the okap!. This was followed for several hours, when suddenly the party came upon the ani- ‘mal some fifteen feet in front of them, ‘The animal was startled by their ap- (proach, and before.the Major could ob- tain his rifle from one of the natives accompanying him, the animal had darted into the thick undergrowth. ‘The view that the hunter obtained, however, was sufficlently long to en- able him to observe its general char- acteristics. The animal stood between ten abd eleven feet in helght, was of 2 general tawny color about its body, ‘and was striped over the loins. The truth of Major Hatrison’s story is vouched for by the natives and pys- mles who accompanied him on the ex- pedition, and they say he is the first white man who has seen the animal In Sts, native haunts.

C., writes: "Through my own experience as well as that of many of my friends and acquaintances who have been cured or relieved of catarrh by the use of Hartman's Peruna, I can confidently recommend it to those suffering from such disorders, and have no hesitation in prescribing it to my patients."—Robert R. Roberts. Catarrh is a systemic disease curable only by systemic treatment. A remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centres. This is what Peruna does. Peruna immediately invigorates the nerve-centres which gives vitality to the mucous membranes. Then catarrh disappears. Then catarrh is permanently cured.

GA-ALA BUSINESS COLLEGE. Macm Ga The question of when and how to shake hands with guests is a difficult one. A hostess should shake hands with every guest who comes to her house, whether her own friend or the friend of her friend, both on their arrival and departure. A young girl introduced to an older woman should await the action of the elder, who, if kindly disposed, will shake hands. Any man presented to a woman—unless he is decidedly elderly or distinguished—must wait for her to make a movement toward shaking hands, and when one woman presents to another the man who is accompanying her it is the duty of friendship, as well as hospitality, for the man to be met with a cordial handshake.—New York News.

Reichenberg, wife of the well-known jeweller of 148 Fulton St., New York, says: "I had a friend who was justly proud of her complexion. When asked what gave her such a brilliant and lovely complexion, she replied, 'A healthy woman can be sure of a fine skin if she will do as I do, use plenty of Cuticura Soap and water.' She insisted that I follow her example, which I did with speedy conviction. I find that Cuticura Soap keeps the skin soft, white, and clear, and prevents redness and roughness."

"Aside from soliciting business on our own hook we must attend to calls from persons who write direct to the office. The other day I was sent to a small apartment not far from Tammany Hall. The man who wrote opened the door himself and invited me to take a chair. Just as I was about to sit down a huge snake uncoiled himself, dropped from the chair to the floor with a bang and scurried off to a basket behind the steam heater, hissing defiance at me as he went. To say that I was scared but feebly expresses my feelings. "Don't mind Peter," said the man as calmly as though he had been speaking of a pct dog. "He won't bite unless you step on him. He is the soul of good nature, is Pete. Lie down, old man." "In a rocking chair I found another snake. The man told me there were five snakes in this room, which he used in his business as a showman. But I could have sworn I saw fifty of them. He noticed my nervousness and led the way into his bedroom. There was another snake curled up on his bed, stupefied. It was on the sick list and he had given it dope. "Yes, he wanted me-to insure his snakes. I believe the company made some sort of a deal with him, but I never went back a second time."—New York Press.

They know what they want, are easily suited and are not fussy. They have a genial way that makes them easier to satisfy than women are. Their manners are not so stiff. "No man ever crushes a salesgirl with a haughty stare. Men seldom haggle over prices. They may easily be persuaded to buy a higher priced article if they have the money, and you can convince them they are getting their money's worth. Men show good taste and judgment in buying articles they know little about. Their fondness for large sizes borders on the ridiculous, sometimes.
