Savannah Tribune

Presentation of His Play Almost Causes a Riot. HAPPENED IN COLUMBIA Young Men of South Carolina Capital Anxious to Get at Author of "The Clarsman," But He Refused to Go Out and See Them. The appearance in Columbia, S. C., Saturday night, of "The Clansman," Thomas Dixon, Jr.'s new play, which deals with the reconstruction period, under negro rule in South Carolina, was the most largely attended of any play that has been presented in the Palmetto State capital in recent years. That the large audience was not due to approval of the drama was manifest by the blissing of the audience throughout the performance. This, however, was more especially emphasized when, at the end of the first scene in the third act, after scattering calls, the author made his appearance in front of the curtain; immediately there came hisses from all parts of the theater mingled with hand-clapping, and it was full two minutes before Mr. Dixon could proceed. After referring pleasantly to the fact that there has been friendly criticism of his play, he told of his close ties in South Carolina. He said he would give $1,000 to any person who would point out an historical inaccuracy in the play. He said: "Go ordained the southern white man to teach the lessons of Aryan supremacy." In concluding, he said that he had always observed that there are two divisions in the south; those who would hiss and those who would applaud the ones who are trying to portray the true ideals of the south. "There were scalawags then and there are scalawags now," he said very pointed, amid uproarious applause, but this was not all. The unusual spectacle of prominent young men gathered in front of the author's hotel, with hostile intent, was witnessed at an early hour Sunday morning; the performance being very long, it was almost midnight before it was concluded. The young men sent a note to Dixon's room asking him to come down to see them. It cannot be said whether Dixon anticipated trouble with his callers, but their request was declined. As if determined to acquaint the author with their sentiments of his play, the young men set about to prepare a note expressing their opinion, which was sent up to Dixon's room. Here the incident was closed. The audience was composed almost entirely of white people, there being scarcely a dozen negroes in the gallery. From these there were no demonstrations. The auditors were all democrats, so there could be no charge of partisanship. Rev. Richard Carroll, the most prominent negro educator in South Carolina, witnessed the performance, by invitation, standing in the rear of the orchestra. Carroll declares that the play is one of the most horrible things that has ever visited the south, and will do more toward injuring the prosperity of the south than any other could do. In an interview he said he told Dixon after the performance that he was making "blood" money off the negro. Although having intended to spend Sunday in Columbia, Dixon received a telegram calling him to Savannah, and he left the city early Sunday morning. Van Riper Not Indicted. John W. Brainsby, an attorney for L. C. Van Riper, states that the report published, stating that his client was indicted by a federal grand jury in Washington in connection with the cotton leak scandal was absolutely untrue. BAD DAY AT PENSACOLA. New Fever Cases and Death Rate Both Higher Than Usual The official yellow fever summary for Tuesday at Pensacola was as follows: New cases 13, total 430, deaths 5, total 62, discharged 195, under treatment 173. The report shows the largest number of cases for several days, and also a heavy mortality rate. State Health Officer Porter is by no means discouraged, however, as he and his corps of assistants believe that the fever can be stamped out in a few weeks. Rev. Stuart Defames Methodist Divines and is Called Down Hard and Heavy by Bishop Hoss. A stormy session of the Holston conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, in session at Bristol, Tenn., was brought to an abrupt ending Saturday afternoon by a well known minister of the conference openly denouncing as false certain statements made by Evangelist George R. Stuart, in an animated speech in which he scathingly arraigned a prommet bishop of the church and his cabinet. Rev. Mr. Stuart was expressing his sentiment of ministers who are addicted to the tobacco habit, and referred to the bishop and his cabinet having occupied a room at a home where they were recently entertained, and the lady of the house, showing him the room after they had gone, which, he said, "was in such a bad condition from the use of tobacco that it was necessary to take the carpets up and repaper the room. "The room looked as though it had been occupied by hogs rather than men, and I tell you, brethren, this is a disgrace to the church and your calling. This lady told me she would never entertain another bishop and his conference, and I don't blame her." He threw hot shot into the use of the leading stimulant at soda fountains as a beverage, which, he says, is a curse to our young men and is debauching their mental and moral natures, besides undermining their health and rendering them unfit for the responsible positions of life. He then offered a resolution recommending the prohibition party in Tennessee for temperance legislation, which was finally passed by a majority of three votes. The address of Rev. Stuart provoked a heated reply from Bishop Hoss, of Nashville, who was presiding. Rising to his feet in a passionate speech, the bishop resented the remarks of Rev. Stuart on a bishop of the church, and he said he was clean himself and a gentleman and knew his colleagues were also clean and up to a high standard of morals. He declared the clause of the resolution referring to political parties was improper and also the one referring to the soda fountain beverage, as he didn't believe they could be established by cold facts. The assembly became confused and numbers were trying to speak when a hurried motion was made and carried to adjourn. NEW ORLEANS FEVER REPORT. Nineteen Cases Saturday's Record. Quarantines to Be Lifted. Quiarities to be Lived. The official report in New Orleans Saturday was as follows: New cases 19, total cases to date 3,305, deaths 5, total deaths to date 428, cases under treatment 156, cases discharged 2,721. The remarkable feature of the report is that only seven of the new cases are below Canal street and eight above, which is the first time since the fever started that the preponderance has been uptown. Sunday's report showed only nine new cases and three deaths. Many of the parishes have agreed to raise the quarantines immediately. Ten positive answers have been received. The opening up of Baton Rouge has resulted in a rush to that town. Reports from the country were very light. The reports from Mississippi were: Vicksburg, one new case; Natchez, three new cases; Port Gibson, three new cases, one death; Gulfport, one new case. PORTLAND FAIR CLOSES. Attendance During: the Exposition Showed Grand Total of 2,545,509. When the gates of the Lewis and Clark exposition closed at Portland, Oregon, at 1 o'clock Sunday morning, a total attendance of 56,960 for the day had been registered, making the grand total for the entire fair period 2,545,509. The Record for Five Years According to Herald's Figures. Forty-five deaths and hundreds of serious injuries, is the record of football for the last five years, according to a canvass made by the New York Herald. In almost every instance the death or injury, was due directly to heavy mass plays, against which President Roosevelt and the country at large are now protesting so vigorously. OVERRULED By Decision of High Court in Noted Chain-Gang Case. NO POINT IS SUSTAINED Had Court Sustained Jurist Every Chain Gang Prisoner In State of Georgia Could Have Occured A Washington dispatch says: The well known Wimbish-Jamison case, from Macon, Ga., was decided in the supreme court Monday. The action of Judge Emory Speer of the southern federal district of Georgia, was reversed and the case remanded. The effect of this is to uphold the recorder's court of Macon. E. A. Wimbish is superintendent of the Bibb county chalangang. This is the case in which United States Judge Speer interfered with the sentence of a prisoner, Jamison, a colored man, by a recorder's court of Macon, to work on the streets. The opinion of the court, rendered one week from the day of argument, was the occasion of some surprise. It was contained in a few words only, and contrary to the usual custom, was not even reduced to writing. Henry Jamison was arrested on March 13, 1904, on a charge of being drunk and disorderly, and being tried before the recorder of the city of Macon, plead guilty and on two counts was sentenced to pay a fine of $60 or be committed to the county chaining for $10 days. Four days later the prisoner, instead of taking advantage of the usual remedies under the state laws, presented a petition for a writ of habeas corpus cum causa to Judge Speer of the federal court, alleging that his arrest and punishment were illegal, because they were "without due process of law," and because he was subject "to infamous punishment . . . . in violation of the constitution of the United States." The case was finally argued in June, 1904, and Judge Speer, after having it under advisement for a week, ordered the discharge of Jamison, holding, among other things, that "Jamison was detained of his liberty and subjected to infamous punishment without due process of law." "Besides," the judge ruled, "the sentence against him is void, for want of due process of law and void because one man cannot adjudge infamy." The contentions of Wimbish, the respondent in the lower court, were in part as follows. "That Jamison should be remanded to his custody as superintendent of the chalangang, and should not be discharged upon a writ of habeas corpus, for the reason that he held him under a sentence from a police court of summary powers, with jurisdiction over the person and the offense, as provided by the law of the state. "That the case did not imperatively demand Jamison's release by writ of habeas corpus." The case involving the determination of a right claimed under the constitution of the United States, it was appealed to the federal supreme court, with the result already stated. The decision quashes the writ of habeas corpus and dismisses the petition. Had Judge Speer been upheld, a federal district judge would have been given the power to release every person confined at hard labor under the processes of state courts, and the rule that punishment by hard labor is infamous punishment, contrary to the fifth amendment to the constitution, would have been established. COWHIDING AT THE TRIAL. Sensation Grows Out of Murder Case at St. Augustine, Fla. The preliminary trials of the four Osteen brothers, accused of the murder of George and Edward Carter, at Moultrie, Fla., was held in St. Augustine Monday. Judge Mackay decided to hold all the defendants under $1,000 bond each to answer such indictments as may be found at the November term of the circuit court. The fifth brother, James Osteen, has not yet been captured. A sensational affair grew out of the trial shortly after the court adjourned at noon. Louis Micler of Diego attacked and severely cowhidled Perry Greene of Moultrie before the affair was stopped by outsiders. It was said that Mickler had been bitter against Green for years on account of an insulting letter Green is alleged to have written to his wife. The two attended the trial and the cowhiding followed. PEACE TREATY SIGNED. Oswar of Russia and Emperor of Japan Perform Last Act in Bringing the Bloody War to a Close. A Washington special says: The emperor of Russia and the emperor of Japan, Saturday morning, signed their respective copies of the peace treaty, thus officially ending the war. Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador, called at the state department at Washington and saw Secretary Root. While he had no official advices on the subject, information had reached him to the effect that the emperor of Russia had early in the day affixed his signature to a copy of the treaty drawn at Portsmouth. It was not necessary for the ambassador to convey this information, officially, to the state department, for, according to the plan previously arranged, the Russian foreign office was to advise the French government of the act of the signature and that government, in turn, was to advise the Japanese government. A few minutes after 10 o'clock, Saturday morning, Minister Takahira appeared at the state department with a message stating that the emperor of Japan had signed the treaty at Tokio. A cablegram was immediately dispatched to Spencer Eddy, charge of the American embassy at St. Petersburg, who was instructed to inform the Russian foreign office that the emperor of Japan had performed his part, and so both copies of the treaty having been duly signed and each of the great nations, lately engaged in hostilities, having been officially informed of the fact, the Russo-Japanese war, which began February 8, 1904, terminated officially October 14. Little remains to be done to meet the official requirements. Later copies of the treaties will be actually exchanged. Admiral Enquist's squadron at Manila and the Lena at Mare Island, which have been interned, will probably be released whenever the Russian government makes the request. REVOLUTIONARY FLAGS WAVED. Sunday Demonstration In St. Petersburg. But No Bloodshed. For the first time since the advent of M. Trepoff as head of the government of St. Petersburg, demonstrations on a large scale took place in the city Sunday, the occasion being the removal of the body of Prince Troubetskoy to the Nikolai station for shipment to Moscow. Students, workmen and spectators gathered in thousands in the streets, and demonstrations with red flags paraded boldly through the Neysky prospect, the city's main avenue. The crowds and the processions were several times charged and dispersed by the mounted police, but, fortunately, with no grave consequences. BIG WAVE CLAIMED FIVE. Paesengers on Conunard Steamer Campa- pania Sweet Overboard. A New York dispatch says: Five lives are known to have been lost and more than thirty persons injured, some of them seriously, on the Cunard steamer Campania last Wednesday, when a gigantic wave rolled over the steamer and swept across a deck thick with steerage passengers. So sudden was the coming of the disaster, and so great was the confusion which attended and followed it that even the officers of the steamer themselves were unable, upon the vessel's arrival in port, to estimate the full extend of the tragedy. THE AGREEMENT SIGNED. Printing Offices In Birmingham Grant Eight-Hour Day. Four of the largest printing establishments in Birmingham, Ala., have signed an agreement with the local typographical union to allow the eight-hour day to go into effect on January 1, with the prevailing nine-hour pay. The eight-hour day agreement goes into effect in all local newspapers January 13. WANT TAFT ON THE LID. Panamans Ask War Secretary to Be Present on Anniversary. If the wishes of the people of Panama are to be acquiesced in, Secretary Taft will time his intended visit to the isthmus that he may be there November 3, the anniversary of the separation of Panama from Colombia. This day is to be celebrated as a national holiday, and a special and urgent invitation has been extended to the secretary and Mrs. Taft to participate in the celebration. AWELCOMED FROST Brings Joy and Hope to Fever Stricken States Temperature Varles from Snow in Pennsylvania to 43 Degrees in Georgia—Quarantine May Be Lifted at Many Points. The weather bureau at Washington issued the following bulletin Thursday morning: "The frost line extends this morning into the northern portions of the gulf states, while heavy and some killing frosts occurred in the Ohio valley and in the Mississippi valley as far north as Memphis." Snow In Pennsylvania. The first snow of the season was reported Thursday from various parts of western Pennsylvania. An inch of snow fell in the mountains and at Greenville, Pa. Snow fell for five hours, causing hundreds of trees to break. Train Inspection Curtalled. Heavy frosts have prevailed in Tennessee, North Mississippi and Arkansas. Dr. Albright of the state board of health said that he would immediately issue orders' curtailing the train inspection service in the more northerly parts of Tennessee. Earliest Frost at Jackson. A good sized frost was visible in Jackson, Miss., and surrounding country Thursday morning. This is the earliest date on which frost has appeared in several years, and it means an early lifting of the quarantines. The Mobile, Ala., weather bureau has received reports of light frost from places in Mississippi and Alabama as far south as Jackson, Ala., and Waynesboro, Miss., and Thomasville, Ga. The latter place reports a heavy deposit with a temperature of 43. Lake, Miss., reports a killing. frost with a temperature of 36. Last year the first frost to occur as far south as Waynesboro occurred on October 21. WILL Lift Quarantines. A Birmingham dispatch says: There was a heavy frost all over north Alabama Thursday night. Cool weather continues, and it is expected that quarantines will be raised at once. Because Chattanooga had a heavy frost the board of health has withdrawn all inspectors and guards from trains entering the city. Joy Reigna In New Orleans. A New Orleans special says: Still colder weather, the mercury going to 58 at New Orleans and under 40 in many others parts of the state, with frost in the middle section of the state, Thursday increased the probability of the early extinction of yellow fever throughout Louisiana and Mississippi, the two states which have been infected since August last. In both states conditions are considered to be of the brightest and with fear practically passed and people generally utterly tired of the restrictions put upon travel, it is anticipated that the era of quarantine will soon be over. YE PURSE-POOR EDITORS. Burlesque Demonstration as to How Immigrants Are Admitted. Members of the Chicago Press Club visited Ellis Island, New York, on Thursday, where they were given a realistic demonstration of how immigrants are inspected before being allowed to enter this country. Each guest was labeled with a tag like a real immigrant just arrived from Europe and was subjected to the regular examination for admission. Two of the newspaper men were declared ineligible to land and become American citizens. They did not have enough money to assure the inspectors that they would not become public charges. ESTABLIGH "JIM CROW" SCHOOL Race Row Over Drawing of Color Line in the Quaker State. The board of education of McMahon borough; a suburb of Monessen, Pa. has stirred up much ill feeling between the white and colored citizens by establishing a Jim crow school. The Afro-American republican league went into the county court at Greensburg and secured a writ of mandamus against the school board, compelling it to show cause why, nego. children should not be permitted to attend the public schools. SOUTH'S GREAT PROSPERITY. Washington, October 10. — Recent government reports indicate a great wave of prosperity sweeping over the south, and it would seem that this prosperity in the fair land of Dixie is not confined to any particular section or industry. It is widespread. From every state south of the historic Potomac river comes the glad tidings of good times. This phenomenal prosperity abounds in storeworkshop, mine, factory and in the construction and improvement of railways. Not one discordant note is heard on prosperity's lute in the land of cotton and magnolia blossoms. Farmers are blessed with bountiful crops, for which they are receiving magnificent prices. The cotton manufacturer finds himself put to a strong test, to fill the orders for goods he has from both foreign and domestic buyers, and railways are busy constructing new lines to new industrial centers springing into being day by day. But the greatest evidence of prosperity at the south is to be found in cotton milling and the manufacture of furniture. In the past fifteen years cotton mills and furniture factories have sprung into being all over the south, especially in the states of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, and this good year 1905 finds them working overtime to meet the demands for their products. These cotton mills and furniture factories draw on the fields and forests of all the states of the south for their raw material. The railroads are assisting them very materially in their strides toward making the south a manufacturing empire by a most liberal policy in the matter of freight rates, both on raw materials and manufactured products. The cotton mills of New England have hitherto had a monopoly of cotton manufactures in this country. The advantages enjoyed by that section in water transportation which guaranteed to eastern spinners very cheap freight, has in the past enabled yankeedom to maintain a complete monopoly in cotton milling. It is different, far different, today, however. The great railway systems penetrating the south, the home of raw cotton and virgin forests, concluded to aid struggling manufacturers in the south and build up cotton milling and other manufacturing in that section. They reduced the freight on raw materials to the mills and factories, and on the manufactured products from the mills and factories to the markets of the east and west, which reduction placed the southern mill men and manufacturers on an equal footing with the cotton mills of New England and the furniture manufacturers of the west, so today the southern mill men and manufacturers are enabled to market their products at the very doors of the eastern and western manufacturers in competition with them. As before stated, this liberal policy in the matter of freight rates on the part of the railways leading to the south has been the chief means of building up her manufacturing industries; the real cause of her present unbounded prosperity and the southern people owe a debt of gratitude to these land transportation companies they will never be able to repay in full. Japan's fisheries employ 3,000,000 people, and 10,000,000 men, women and children are supported thereby. COFFEE. NEURALCIA Leaves When You Quit and Use Pestum. A lady who unconsciously drifted into nervous prostration brought on by coffee, says: "I have been a coffee drinker all my life, and used it regularly, three times a day. "A year or two ago I became subject to nervous neuralgia, attacks' of nervous headache and general nervous prostration which not only incapacitated me for doing my housework, but frequently made it necessary for me to remain in a dark room for two or three days at a time. "I employed several good doctors, one after the other, but none of them was able to give me permanent relief. "Eight months ago a friend suggested that perhaps coffee was the cause of my troublea and that I try Postum Food Coffee and, give up the old kind. I am glad I took her advice, for my health has been entirely restored. I have no more neuralgia, nor have I had one solitary headache in all these eight months. No. more of, my days are wasted in solitary confinement in a dark room. I do all my own work with ease. The flesh that I lost during the years of my nervous prostration has come back to me during these months, and I am once more a happy, healthy woman. I enclose a list of names of friends who can vouch for the truth of the statement." Name given by Postum Co., Battie Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Ten days' trial leaving off the use of using Postum is sufficient.

To the colored people ‘in the Southern States: A greatfmany.cquestions relating to our progress as a race, it is Important for us to consider and keep clearly before us. One of the questions just now of fundamental importance is that of secur- ing facilities for a sound common school education of the masses of our children especially in small towns aod country dis- triets, ‘The large majority of our children will never have, perhaps, the opportunity toreceive any’ school education except what they get between the ages of five and fourteen years and will never have oppor- tunity to attend any other than common public schools. And yet here in our southland hardly more than one-fifth of the Negro children, five to nine years of age and hardly more’ than one half from ten to foutteen years of age were reported by the U. 8. Census to have attended school at ‘all ia 1900. And of all our children who attended school during that ‘school year, over three fifths attended le<s than six months. Ic many cases while tHe schools are open. pareats are caréless about secing that their children attend school each day. This fault should be remedied. I use these figures because they express compactly thought, of course not exactly a condition of utmost gravity. And remember that such figures give no hint of the squalor of so many of our schools and the incompetence of so many of our teachers. . I wish, through this letter, to Urge up- on our ministers, teachers and leaders of whatever character, to put forth special and immediate effort to see to it that the school facilities in each community are improved and brought up toa high stand- | ard of efficiency. If this is not done, | many thousand of onr children will grow upin ignorance. Whatever the reason may be, the plain fact is that in many communities our people are not being provided with education in public schools. have recently beard of several communi- ties where only $15 per month were ap- propriated from the public fund for the colored school, aud this for only a term of four months. ' We must face the fact thiat the public schools in many sections are! not being improved, and, in some parts of the South they have gone backward. It is probable, that the children of the race have increased faster than the facillties for their education in some places. ' At the basis of our educational opportu. nities, I say, is the public school, and I think it wise to make that school, the cen ter of interests and activities. We should not fail to make prominent at all times and cling tothe fundamental idea of the American comtion school, that all of the property of the State should educate im- lially all the children of all the people, ftis not anerely the man who enter ihe tax office who really pays the taxes the laborer, who pays one mill mére tothe pound lor « commodity because of license tax, really pays the tax, however indirect the payment. By close’ examins- tion, I find that in many communities the small amouat of money received for the public schools is ia large degree wasted and dissipated by reason of denomina~ tional differences and wrangles over the school. For example, £ know of one -ommunity that bas three small schools of weak character, when these should be only one, and, that one.good. The Bap- at have a school in. one part of the town, he African Methodist, a school io another part, and the Zion Methodist a school ia till another part. Denominatfonalism has 20 place in public school edncation, and aur people should crush that tendency to et denominationtism divide and overcome the public school.

The teacher may be weak in other matter, but if he is morally wholesome, he may Breatly help the people 2. A good teacher cannot be kept in a community from year to year without a teasonably good salary. A poor salary means a poor teacher in most cases, one who remains only afew months and’ then goes to some other community, It is cheaper in the long run to pay a large sal- ary for a goedfteacter than to pay a small salary for a poor teacher, 3. If the public school authorities do not provide a decent and comfortable school house, andevery effort of the peo- ple to stimulate them to do so has failed, the people in the community should tax themselves in order that a good, comfort- able school house may be Duilt. Some of the schovlhouses in which our children are taught are fitter for cattle than for human beings.’ 4._ We should get the public offfeers to provide for as long a school term ax possi- Ble. But no people can be educated when the schools are in session only four or five months during year, No commiuni- ty should be satisfied until its school is in session seven or eight months during each year, If our people will save some of themoney that they now throw away, especially during the fall of the year, for whiskey, snuff, and cheap jewelry, they can with little dificulty add two or’ three months to the public school term. ~ 5. Let us make up nur minds that, des- pile difficaltiesand many disadvantages, our children in every section of the South, shall havea decent education. We should never cease to agitate in every locality for Proper school facilities.

Broughton St., Savannah, Ga. JcW; ARMSTRONG, . Vicé-President,-. Star and Charley are ready—there's nothing to do but go; The wide blue sky and the brown fields call; and the pines are singing low. We're off to the twenty-acre field—it's a good big piece to play. And the rain's beea keeping us back a spell, so we're good and ready now! Up to the edge of the wide blue sky the twenty-acre climbs. A mocking bird in the hilltop pine is stinging his rippling rims. You hear him laugh as he swings and on the topmost twig of the tree At us three fellows here working hard—old Star and Charley and me! Laugh little-brother! We're glad to hear a laugh as happy as that! He's making like he's a brown thruh now; and now he calls like a cat, And a catbird answers innocent-like, and he throws back a silver tril, And laughs again as Star and Charley and me go round the hill. OOD-BY, old fellow," I said, wringing Tom's hand, we stood together on the wharf, "Don't neglect to keep me advised on all the news, and—I rely on you to take bare of Eve. Drop in to see her as often as you can, and don't let the poor girl fret for me." "All right. You may depend on me, Carl. Good-by." I hastily crossed the deck of the steamer, and Tom's broad shoulders disappeared among the noisy crowd on the wharf. Tom and I were natives of the same village, had been playmates in infancy, schoolmates in boyhood, college chums in more mature years, and for the last year partners in a flourishing business in New York. What is of still more importance—in my story—had both in the aforementioned school and college periods, been in love with the same girl, rosy, round-hulbed, laughing Eve Mallory. Why Eve should have preferred me, plain, blunt-spoken, feebulous as a hand, to handsome, debonair Tom Burroughs, is of course, a mystery. But so she did, and Tom, like the honorable fellow lie was, retired from the field and after the usual, or rather an unusual amount of courting—for Eve was something of a coquette—Eve and I became formally engaged. I thought it rather hard lines that after a brief two months of lovers' paradise, I should be compelled to make a voyage of very uncertain length to South America. But business was imperative, so I shade my mother an affectionate good-by and kissed away the tears from sister Nell's cheeks, and took an agonized farewell of Eve. The agony was apparently all on my side, however. For though I could see that Eve trembled, there were no signs of tears in her bright eyes. She blushed furiously when I kissed her, and struggled free from my farewell embrace. But it was like her to fight shy of all demonstrations of affection. I had never get succeeded in obtaining a willing kiss from her, and I suppose that was one reason why I set so high a value on them. "Good-by, Eve, darling," I said, as we stood together at the gate. I know my face looked white and woeful enough. "Be true to me." "Good-by, Carl," she said, smoothing back her curly, golden locks. "Just see how you've rumped my hair. Of course I'll be true to you, unless some fellow I like better comes along," and she turned hastily and ran up the narrow path and disappeared within the vine-covered porch. Her parting words rang in my cars. Ob, what would I not have given to know that our separation grieved her one-half as sorely as it did me. Of course I wrote soon to Eve; and remembering her fancy for feathered pets, I bought—though I had always detested that species of bird, myself—a gorgeous and lightly accomplished native parrot, and sent it on as an addition to her collection. In a few weeks letters reached me from home. One from Eve, quiet, friendly; but I knew her too well to look for any demonstrative endeavours, or lover-like rhapsodies. She acknowledged the arrival of the "rare bird," and was full of thanks for what she was pleased to call my "musilfish consideration of her taste." There was also a letter from Nell. "Eve is quiet and sad for her. But she bears the parting bravely. Tom called her last night, and we went over there together. "At first I could see that it cost her an effort to be cheerful, but before we left she was quite her old self. She was dressed very simply in a fine white muslin dress, and you can imagine how lovely she looked. "What would I not give for that dazzling rose and lily complexion of hers, and that slim, soft, round shape, Tom was provoking silent when I went into raptures over her, on our way, home, but I noticed that his eyes never left her for a moment all the evening." All of which ought to have been very grafting to a food lover, but somehow if left a sting behind. If it had been anyone but Tom—good, honest Tom, whom I trusted as I did, my own soul, I should have been madly jealous—but, of course, it was all right. Had I not asked him to look after her? Still, there was that little sting. As for Tom, he was strangely silent about business affairs. All matters of business were regularly transmitted, but I do not think that Eve's name, or that of sister Nell, was ever once mentioned. It was fully six months before I could begin business satisfactorily, and G BY FRANCIS BARINE turn my face homeward with a heart that fluctuated, wildly between hope and despair. I had received no letters from home for five weeks, and the last was a hasty little scrawl from Nell, hoping I would soon return, but making no mention of Eve. A man of more sanguine nature would have said that "No news is good news," but my dark temperament foreboded the worst. I stopped a day in New York, but Tom, who did not expect me till three days later, was not at the office. He had "gone up the country," the head clerk informed me. "Gone to see Eve," I said, savagely, to myself. That evening I took passage on the little steamer that ran up to our village. It was a lovely moonlight night in early June, and the boat was crowded. Among the passengers I noticed two very pretty girls whom I knew by sight as residents of our place, but whose personal acquaintance I had not the pleasure of possessing. I secured a seat in the upper cabin—the decks were jammed—and soon became aware that these two girls were scanned on deck just outside of the window behind me. Now and then various familiar names saluted me as they chatted together. At last Eve Mallory was mentioned, and you may be sure I pricked up my ears. "Her devotion to that Tom of hers is just perfectly ridiculous," exclaimed one sweet voice. "He goes everywhere with her, and I've heard that she actually kisses him—before folks, too. Considering that everybody knows how she got him, I should think that she'd have a little more delicacy." "Kisses him!" repeated the other in a tone of mingled amazement and disgust. "Well! that's more than I could stand." It was more than I could stand, too. With a muttered exclamation, which I will not repeat here, I rushed from my seat, fearful of hearing still more dreadful developments, and spent the remaining three hours till, our arrival in a state bordering on frenzy. Eve Mallory, my afflianced wife, spoken of publicly in connection with that "tom Tof hers!" So she was "devoted to him," was she? Was known—o horrors!—to have "kissed" him! To think of that, when my utmost coaxing and blandishments could never win the faintest cares from those false lips. O fickle, treacherous, perfidious Evel Because of you, in that mad, hour, I foresaw all faith in forever more. The house was closed for the night when I reached home, but mother came down at my well-known knock. "How pale you are, my dear boy," she said, looking at me sharply after the first rapture of material welcome was over. "You look quite worn out, I declare. I never saw you with such a haggard face. Now I shall make you take a good, long rest before I'll let you go back to that horrid business again." I would not let her wake Nell, and the next morning, when I unexpectedly came upon the dear girl in the hall, she almost falted with delight. Well, at any rate, I was sure of their love. Her first remarks were like mother's—"How pale! How worn!" "And now," said she, as she finished her breakfast, "I must run right over to Eve's with the news—or do you wish to go?" and she turned to me. "No," I said, briefly; "I shall not go." Nell looked surprised; but she swung on her garden hat, and run up the village street. "Have you seen Tom Burroughs lately?" I asked mother. "Not for over a week," she replied. "Not for over a week! If he had been in the place yesterday, do you think you would have known it?" "Oh, yes," she answered, quietly. "But the clerk told me he had gone into the country, and where else do you think he'd be?" "Oh," said mother, smiling, "the frequently goes up to Kingston; maybe he is there now. I am sure he is not in our village, for he always comes here for his first call." "Ah!" thought I, "I fancy Eve Mallory could tell a different story. So he comes here, does he! I marvel at his impudence!" Then my thoughts turned to business. Of course I could not remain in partnership with a man who had become my deadly enemy, as I now regarded Tom. I concluded to write him a letter explaining my views in very plain language. On my way to the postoffice, whom should I see coming toward me but Tom, himself. A pleased smile lit up his face as he recognized me. SAW THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA. N appearance of a new island in the Japanese seas calls to mind other rapid risings of land, in the ocean. An island suddenly canne to digit off the coast of Sicily, remained for two months and as quickly disappeared. Sabrinia, near the Azores, retired from public life before it was fairly charted. The Gulf of Mexico has witnessed the advent and subsidence of small islands. These upheavals of the bed of the ocean suggest all sorts of mysteries connected with the unknown depths. An uncanny experience is related in the Pall Mall Magazine. Our ship was out twenty-three days from Manila to the Sandwich Islands. It was a silent, dead black night. The lead showed deep sea. Suddenly we felt as if we had grounded. The mate suggested a sunken wreck, but the skipper stuck to the theory of earthquake. Subsequent events showed that he was right. Daybreak revealed a low and misty sky. We lay as if becalmed in the midst of an oily sea, strangely discolored in patches. Suddenly the water trembled. I can use no other word. The ship rolled, and in the distance rose a huge, balloon-shaped mass of vapor, steam or smoke. There was not the slightest sound, but a long line of chafing water stretched across the streaky calmness. Then the vapor settled over all, and we could hear but not see the seetling and pouring water all about us. The captain ordered a bucketful to be drawn up. It was hot, and smelled like gas works. "Ifn't!" remarked the old skifter, as he sniffed it. "They're poking up a new continent. I wish we were out of it." The air grew more oppressive every moment. The vessel gave a gentle side roll, and word was passed that we were aground. Over went the lead and came up corred with blue, cozy mud. We were wallowing in sludge, the darkness was pall-like and the atmosphere, suffocating close. Then the air was rent with reports, awful to hear in that blackness. There were three of the deafening, roaring blasts, and all was again still. When the light came, red and unnatural, a strange sight met our eyes. It was as if the bottom of the Pacific was laid bare. We were helpless in a son of thick mud. The sulphur fumes were choking, and we had to take refuge below. Hour after hour we gasped, facing the probability of a death by suffocation. Suddenly we felt that we were afast. Whatever the bank of mud that held us, it had disappeared, and after a time we made our way out of the grewshoe spot. When we reached Honolulu the crew deserted. "There's no luck in a ship that has seen the bottom of the sea," they said. DAUGHTERS OF DORCHESTER. Dorchester, Massachusetts, has just celebrated its two hundred and seventy-fifth anniversary. There are many contrasts between the little town of nearly three centuries ago and the Dorchester of to-day, one of which is brought out by a comparison of the school reports. Early in the first settlement a schoolhouse was built on the Meeting House Hill. The records say that the parents of each pupil were obliged to provide two feet of wood, or two shillings, sixtime, otherwise their children could have no "privileges of fire." This sounds primitive, but not more so than a second statement to the effect that no girls were to be allowed in the school. The people of Dorchester, however, did not propose to debar their daughters from all education. They could be taught at home, and on one afternoon each year the girls were admitted to the public school. This was for the purpose of a general catechizing, and each girl was expected to answer at least two questions correctly. It could hardly have been a season of enjoyment for the poor mails, for one reads that the master always put the most difficult questions to the girls in order that the "benefits the boys received from his instruction might be more apparent." But the lack of schooling did not render the young women of Dorchester useless. Judging from a story told of King Philip's War no culture could have added to their prompt action in time of need. An Indian once tried to enter the house of the Minots. There was no one in the building but a maid and two small children, and the maid had never been to school. Her first act was to hurry the little ones under two enormous brass kettles. "Now life still!" she commanded, and then she ran for the family musket. The Indian shot through the window, but missed his mark. The girl did better. She hit the savage on the shoulder, which increased his fury and his determination to enter the house. He forced a door, but the girl was ready. With a quick movement she dashed a shovelful of burning coals fulf in his face. Giving a terrificell, the Indian fled, and was afterward found dead in the woods. The government of Massachusetts presented the heroin with a silver "wristband" engraved with her name and the words: "She slew the Narra-gausett hunter." There is no pitfall more to be dreaded by the mountain climber than a glacial crevasse, especially if it is masked by snow. A plunge into one is almost certain death. In the sum "The hypocrite! the scoundrel!" cried between my teeth. "Why, what's the matter, Carl?" he exclaimed, as he came near, enough to read the expression of my face. "Are you ill? Has anything happened?" "How dare you speak to me?" I cried; furiously raised my cane, as though to strike him. "Villain! Traitor! Liar!" It was twilight when I walked up the little familiar path, and entered the vine-covered porch, where I had had the last gimple of Eve. The front door stood open, no lamps were yet lit, all was still. I walked boldly into the little parlor. The room was shadowy and dim, but over in the bay window, the big bay window among whose vines, and flowers, and gilded bird cages I had proposed and been accepted, a white-robed figure stool leaning against the window frame. She was sobbing. I could not be mistaken—sobbing softly to herself. "Oh, Tom," I heard her murmur at last, "you love me, do you not?" I climbed my fist. Where was Tom? In the darkness I could see no figure but her own. Before I could move, however, a harsh voice vociferated: "Tom loves you. Tom loves you." The next moment it added: "Carl loves Eve," and followed up the announcement with n. discordant cackle that set my teeth on edge. "No, no," she cried, mournfully. "Carl does not love me. Carl has forgotten me!" I could keep silent no longer. "In Heaven's name," I cried, "what is the meaning of this?" Eve turned, stared wildly, and, with a shurli scream, fell fainting at my feet. In an instant the room was filled with a crowd of children and sergents. Eve's father and mother appeared on the scene, and a general bubbub ensued, in the midst of which an immense green and gray parrot coolly issued from its cage and, perching on the centre table, hoarsely announced: "Tom loves Eve. Carl loves Eve. Carl and Eve are going to be married!" "Here, Nancy, put that noisy Tom in his cage, and run for smelling salts," commanded Mallory. So that was Tom! That croaking, green and gray abomination my deadly rival! The rest of my story is soon fold. Explanations, apologies, forgiveness, reconciliation all round. But after Eve and I were married, I had that odious parrot transported, for, though I am not nearly so jealous as I used to be, I do not want to see my wife, lavishing devotion and kisses on an unappreciative feathered bliped, when there is a human being at hand who could enjoy a good deal more of that sort of thing than he is ever likely to get. Tom's frequent visits to Kingston are accounted for by the presence of a saucy, little brunette, whose "big brother" waits to marry sister Nell—New York Weekly. Incomes of Grand Dukes. The Russian imperial family numbers at the present time something like sixty Grand Dukes and Grand Duchesses. It is a fact they would one and all be wholly dependent upon the reigning Emperor, whose wealth is practically boundless, were it not that a former Gzar, Paul I, set aside a certain number of estates to which he gave the curious name of "the imperial appanages." The income of these vast stretches of fertile land is devoted to the maintenance of all those members of the imperial family who are not in the direct line of succession. At the present time this source of income produces $10,000,000 a year, and the imperial appanages stand in the proud position of being the largest land owner, the most important and prosperous farmer in the Russian Empire. This is the reason why Russian Grand Dukes are so amazingly wealthy. Chicago Journal. Caught in Fence. A large rattlesnake was found imprisoned between two rails of a fence near Ellensville and was killed. The snake had come upon a flock of young quail, caught one of the birds and swallowed it. The survivors ran to the other side of the fence, where upon the snake crawled between the rails until it caught another luckless bird, which it also swallowed. The result was that the snake, owing to the bulge made by the first morsel, was unable to move forward, and because of the second protuberance, was unable to go back. Thus its greatness led to its death—New York World. A Moulting Lobster. Recently a lobster in one of the aquarium tanks cast his skin. The process, lasted about half an hour. A split appeared in the thin skin just in front of the first joint of the tail (abdomen), and though this opening the lobster slowly withdrew the forepart of his body, legs and feeters. Then with a jerk the tail was withdrawn. The old skin was left intact and absolutely perfect—Letter in London Mall. Italy patrols its beaches to prevent poor people from evaporating seen water for low-grade salt. IN A CREVASSE. mer of Mott's a party of Impishmen exploring this Sussexian Rockies set out to climb Mount Gordon, a peak more than 10,000 feet high, which had never been scaled. On the way, near the similitude, a crevasse interposed between their puffy skin and their goal. Over it lay a bridge of snow, and on this all crossed in safety except the last, Mr. Thompson. The bridge gave way with him; and he disappeared from view far down in the ice mass, where he could be heard calling for help. Mr. Colle, the geographer of the party, being the lightest of the number, was sent down into the crack on a rope to attempt a rescue. In his book, "Climbs and explorations," he describes the experience. I put my foot into a 160p of the rope, was pushed over the edge of the abyss and swung in mid-air. On one side the ice fell shear, on the other it was ruther underent, but again bulged outward about eighteen feet below the surface, making the crevasse at that point not much more than two, feet wide. Then it widened again and went down into dim twilight. When I descended sixty feet, almost the entire length of the rope, I became tightly wedged between the walls, absolutely incapable of moving my body. My feet were close to Thompson's, but his head was farther away and three feet lower than his heels. Being face downward and covered with fallen snow, he could not see me. I shouted for another rope, and when it came down I managed to throw one end to Thompson's left hand, which swayed about until he caught the rope; but when it was pulled it merely dragged out of his hand. Then with some difficulty, putting my hands above my head, I managed to tie a noose in the rope, and with it lassoed that poor, pathetic arm, which was the only part of Thompson which could be seen. Then came the tug of war. If he refused to move I could do no more for him. Moreover, I was afraid that any moment he might fall. If that had occurred, I do not believe he could have been got out at all, for the force of the fall had jammed him farther down than it was possible to follow. Slowly the rope tightened as it was pulled by those above. I could hear my heart thumping in the ghastly stillness of the place, but at last Thompson began to shift, and after some time he was pulled into an upright position. To get a rope round his body was of course hopeless. Partly by wrigling and pulling on my own rope I so shifted by that straining one arm over my head I could get my two hands together, and then I tied the tightest jamming knot I could think of round his arm, just above the elbow. A shout to the rest of the party and Thompson went rapidly upward, dragged by one arm, till he disappeared round the ice bulge forty feet above me. I was full of dread lest the rope slip and he come thundering down atop of me; but the rope held, and he got safely out. I followed. Most marvelously, no bones had been broken in his fall. His pack must have saved him. Perhaps it acted as a brake in the first narrows. But he emphatically gave it as his opinion that whatever scientific explorations might be necessary on the summit of the Rockies, investigations made alone, sixty feet below the surface of the ice, in an-inverted position, were extremely dangerous and unworthy of record. LESSONS FROM A BOAT. A boy who early learns to handle a boat has achieved more in education than he who graduates at the head of his class in the city high school, writes Mr. Thomas Dixon, Jr., in "The Life Worth Living," and gives his reasons as follows; A boat teaches him the first lessons of life, law and obedience, in vital ways. A boat says to him: "Keep in harmony with the law and I am your swift and willing servant. But if you take your hand off that sheet in a gale, or forget to ease my sail to that catpaw in the wind, I shall dump you overboard." A boat is a specific for conceit. When a boy reaches the advanced age of thirteen and begins to instruct his father and mother on the conduct of life and the meaning of things, give him a boat and turn him loose in tide-water. He may get wet, but he will be saved early from many afflictions. I told my boy one day not to venture in his little sailboat too far from the yacht in the wind and tide of the hour. He waved his arm in lordly gesture and informed me he could sit it anywhere in sight and get back all right. I said nothing, and let him go. An hour later, I came out of the cabin and went ashore in the inptha tender for supplies. The wind was blowing a spanking breeze and the tide was running like a mill-race. I saw my mynpotent young navigator off to the leeward a mile, anchored, and with a distress signal flying. I ran the launch within a quarter of a mile of him, but paid no attention to his frantic gestures for help. I passed on to the shore, and an hour later returned. Again I passed him waving his arms and bellowing for a tow. When I got back to the yacht, I took the megaphone and asked him why he didn't come in to dinner. The wind was against him, and no words, from him, of course, could be heard, but the rapidity of his pantomimic explanations of the impossibility of lifting his anchor in the terrible tide or making headway against it, would have been luminous to a wooden Indian. I allowed him to think another hour, and then sent the jachack to tow him in. He was quiet and humble for twenty-four hours. A surgeon in Vienna has successfully repleated a main's lost middle finger with one of the patient's second toe, amputated for that purpose. "There are between 400 and 500 artists in Chicago alone and many more in other big cities who do plaster work for the big houses," said David G. Kensington, of Chicago, at the Charles Hotel. "A few months ago the managers of the stores were considering a plan to cut down the pay rates an hour and steps were at once taken to organize the artist into an union. The movement promised to be so successful that the dealers gave up the idea, and the old scene of wages was maintained. The painters work in water colors, oils and crayon and pastel and paint anything they are told to. They work at their homes for the most part and get orders every few days for, say, 10 landscapes at $3 each, or 600 water scenes at $70 each, or 200 animals pictures at $20 each. They give just as much time and attention to their work as they are paid for. Of course they do not put their names to their pictures, but sometimes the firm requires that the firm name be affixed on some of the better grades. The dealers ship the pictures all over the country to the smaller art stores, and the pictures for which the painters get $3 or $5 apiece are sold for $20 or $30 to the connoisseurs of art who delight in their private collections. Such a scheme as that course takes all the artistic temperament out of a painter, but they do it to keep the wolf from the door and make a living in the way in which they think an Almighty Providence endowed them. Every one of these men and women hope at some time to be noted artists, but the chances are a hundred to one against them. Most of them will be slaving away at it all their lives, giving what talent and ambition and love of art they have to the traffickers for a mere pittance. And the joke of it all is that the buyers of oil paintings and water colors and other works of art believe that they are getting the finest kind of work. Not one in a thousand who buy pictures can estimate their value."—Millvanken Wisconsin. Free to Wander. Boston has find to stand much joking on the subject of its crooked streets. Every one has heard of the arranger who, lost in the tortuous ways, desperately caught the coat tails of the man in front of him, and got along very well until an abrupt turn revealed the fact that it was his own coat tails to which he was clinging. Nearly seventy years ago a Frenchman gave an interpretation of the deviousness of the highways which is both pleasant and patriotic. It is found in a book three-quarters of a century old, called a "Trip to Boston," by E. C. Wines. "I have passed a delightful morning in Boston," writes the author, "We went to Charlestown in an omnibus, passing through a considerable portion of the city. The irregularity of the streets is amazing. It is a common saying that Boston was laid out by cows, and I can well believe it. The labyrinth of Crete never equaled it. I do not say the irregularity is disagreeable; on the contrary the effect is pleasing. To a stranger it is a perpetual surprise." Sixty years ago the Marquis of Chatelet visited Boston. "Marquis," said an apologetic citizen, "you will find Boston streets very crooked. They turn and twist in every direction." "Ah, ver' good, ver' good," replied the courteous nobleman. "It show do'liberte." Youth's Companion. A Fire Horan Sacrifice. The Horse Ranch, fire horse of the tender of engine No. 19, knew what he was doing yesterday, notebly crin toll. Tom is dead, so he can not. He was clattering through Twelfth street, near Ninth avenue, when a little girl, Lulu Schulz, aged seven, of 257 Ninth avenue, ran in front of the tender. Rose Prandegast, of 447 West Thirty-third street, ran out into the street to save the girl. Just as she was about to smash Lulu, Tom jumped as far out as he could. His shoulder struck Miss Prandegast and she was sent spinning to the gutter. But the horse had jumped so far out that the little girl's life was saved. As she fell, the two horses passed, one on each side of her, as did the wheels of the tender. She didn't suffer a scratch. An elevated pillar was directly ahead. Tom could not turn and ran head first into the pillar. He fell dead as though shot. The tender smashed against the pillar, Kircher and, his crew of four being spilled. Miss Prandegast was found to be practically unhurt—New York World. How to Detect Arsenic. How to Detect Arsenic. One of the familiar tests by which a chemist recognizes the presence of arsenic is the odor of garlic, given off when one of its compounds is heated in the blowpipe flame. The same smell of garlic is produced when certain fungal grow on substances containing arsenic. And it is interesting to note that one species of fungus found to accomplish this task of chemical analysis more effectively when it is grown in connection with yellow algal cells in other words, what forms the plant association known as lichen. The above method of detecting arsenic seems specially applicable to cases of poisoning where the distance is mixed with organic matter which would form a sulphuric acid for the culture of the fungi Globe. a ON ON ME a a ER RELY SS ome ee Ts TE ss ane} Ait 1 tee ae | aa: INANE ae eae? 1 il al s zt eE ; se a THINGS Vann Ds EH ae | me Ng 4 } ee SR @ { | ey ZW NMC IMIEINU “SVOMAN'S: UNIVERSAL WEAPON. herléss’ white lace rufies, the lor We were shawn on Monday a tre-| ne caught into a amall putt at the moendous rattlesnake thet Mad thirteen| bow: ‘The skirt, which cleared Fattles. and yas about five and one-| Zround by about on inch, was 1 half feet long.

As'the animal continued to remain absolutely indit- ferent, the crow friend flew into the air, suddenly swooped down, and struck the dog’s spine a tremendous blow with its beak.

LOOKING FOR RIRDS. ‘What is the best place to look for birds? Why, every Kind of place has its charm for different kinds of birds. ‘Along the Ittle streams or lakes you can find dainty sand pipers, green her. ons and phoebes. ‘A kingfisher’s rat- ting ery may catch your ear; you may even see him plunge headlong into the wwater and come out with 2 gleaming shiner in hls big bill, In the marshes are the beautiful clear piping redwings and the chuckling marsh-wrens, and you may startle a big brown bittern. Along the roadways the vesper spar- rows may fly ahead of you, showing their white tall feathers as they go. ‘The great thing to learn about birds, after you have come to know a num: der of kinds, are: First, that every kind does things, in its own way; second, that they group themselves naturally into families as much by similar habits as by what sclentific men call “charac ter.” Thus, fiycatchers dart out and catch fnsects on the wing, with a snap of the bill, returning to thelr perch to walt for another victim. Sparrows like to be near or on the ground. Wood- pecker’ like to climb abouit in the trees, bracing on thelr stiff tails, head up. It has been ascertalifed that, in the main, birds Uke to follow valleys when they ean, even golng batk for short dis- tances to enter a valley that will lead them in their true diréction, Many birds do not migrate at all, like the crows, chickadees an@ many Hawks and woodpeckers; whije others, like the red-poll-Iimnets, ‘snowflakes,“cross~ bills and butcher birds, come to’as only" with very cold winfers—St, Nicholas. + HERO OF THH ALPS. +.

What Situation Was Worth The Importance of Proper Breathing Proprigty of Keeping Up Appeer- ances Impressed on Officer Holding Important Corpore- tion Position. Somé months ago an officer holding an important executive post in on0 of the greater corporgtions received a kindly, almost nelghborly, call from ‘one of his fellow directors. This of. ficer had returned ‘from a brief yaca- tion trip. The fellow director said to him that In« view of thefr long friendship and their respect and ad- miration each for the ability and achievements of the other, he Was g0- ing to speak somewhat plainly to that officer. Then he put this question bluntly to him: . “What will you be willing to pay to keep your place?” It seemed a strange question. ‘The executive officer did not know at first what to make of it. He saw, of course, that there was some kindly, although hidden, purpose in the question and so he answered in the spirit in which the inquiry was put. He sald that, of course, if it were necessary and was the proper thing to do, he would rather pay a large sum of money than a eT ee | rend Tuberculosis. | Alr is made to enter the chest, by enlarging the chest cavity, or thoraz. ‘This {s accomplished by a downward moy2ment of the*diaphragm and an outward movement in all directions of the 2ateral chest walls. "This is large- ly accomplished by the muscles which lft the ribs and pull them outward from the center of the body. The lungs”are emptied by the natural re- turn of the arts to » passive state, when the muscles ‘cease their pullmg upon the chest walls, In ordinary deep respiration, when the breathing movements aro not interfered with, the movement conaists chiefly. of an enlargement. of thé trunk in the re- gion of the waist. ‘There. is at ‘the sama ‘time ‘a marked’ bulging forward pf the abdominal wall.

At the usual meeting of the board of directors of the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Oompany, Mr. W. 8. Scatt, the very efficient and faithfal secrétaty and treasurer of the company, rendered an annual statement which showed the phe- nominal growth of the company in each department. -During the year the number of shares sold, and de- posits received nearly doubled that of last year, and the net earnings are over sixty per cent. more than the’ last. The directors decided to de- clare a dividend of twelve per cent. to the st¢ck holders payable Noy. 1, which is larger than any other cor- poration in this section has given. The excellent showing of this company willbe good news to its large number of share holderg, and it also speaks volumes for the, care- fal mansgement and untiring efforts of its.officers led by President L. E. Williams, who is a most capable fia- ancier, and throngh whose’ labors much of the success‘of the company ie due. .

How many women realize that the most critical period in a woman's existence is the change of life, and that the anxiety felt by women as this time draws near is not without M. AEGRland How many women realize that the most critical period in a woman's existence is the change of life, and that the anxiety felt by women as this time draws near is not without reason? If her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, it is at this time likely to become active and, with a host of nervous irritations, make life a burden. At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, dizziness, headache, dread of impending evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inquilude are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period of life when woman's great change may be expected. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the world's greatest remedy for women at this trying period, and may be relied upon to overcome all distressing symptoms, and carry them safely through to a healthy and happy old age. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound invigorates and strengthens the female organism, and, builds up the weakened nervous system as no other medicine can. Mrs. A. E. G. Hyland, of Chestertown, Md., in a letter to Mrs. Pinkham, says: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I had been suffering with falling of the womb for years, and was passing through the change of life. My womb was badly swollen. I had a good deal of soreness, dizzy spells, headache, as was my nervos. I wrote you for advice and commanded treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as you directed, and I am happy to say that all those distressing symptoms left me, and I have passed safely through the change of life a well woman." For special advice regarding this important period women are invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. It is free and always helpful. Prices up in Nome correspond with the latitude.

"No tongue can tell how I suffered for five years with a terribly painful, itching and bleeding eczema, my body and face being covered with sores. Never in my life did I experience such awful suffering, and I longed for death, which I felt was near. I had tried doctors and medicines without success, but my mother insisted that I try Cuticura. I felt better after the first bath with Cuticura Soap, and one application of Cuticura Ointment, and was soon entirely well. (Signed) Mrs. A. Etson, Believeu, Mich."

It absorbs the gas, disinfects the stomach, kills the poison germs and cures the disease. Catarrh of the head and throat, unwholesome food and overeating make bad stomachs. Scarcely any stomach is entirely free from taint of some kind. Mull's Anti-Belech Wafers will make your stomach healthy by absorbing foul gases which arise from the ingested food and any irritation on the lining of the stomach, enabling it to thoroughly mix the food with the gastric juices. This cures stomach trouble, promotes digestion, sweetens the breath, stops belching and fermentation. Heart action becomes strong and regular through this process. Discard drugs, as you know from experience they do not cure stomach trouble. Try a common-sense (Nature's) method that does cure a soothing, healing sensation. We know Mull's Anti-Belech Wafers will do this, and we want you to know it. SPECIAL OFFER—The regular price of Mull's Ant-Belch Wafers is 50c, a box, but to introduce it to thousands of sufferers we will send two (2) boxes upon receipt of 75c. and this advertisement, or we will send you a sample free for this coupon.

I neglected it until one day a twinge felled me like a log, made me crawl, on hands and knees.

Prosperity in Alaska. According to the statements of Will Wizlinski, who has just returned from an extended trip in the north, in which he visited all the important points along the Yukon, Alaska is enjoying far greater prosperity than is generally supposed. Mr. Wizlinski states that business in the Yukon district is blooming, and that all indications point to a steady and rapid improvement in trade conditions all through Alaska, with the exception of the more remote districts. "The large amounts of gold that have been taken out of" the olains along the Yukon and the prospect of an exceptionally large cleanup next spring have resulted in a state of prosperity and stability never before seen in the northern districts," said Mr. Wiltziski. "Merchants and miners have been heavy buyers of all foodstuffs, implements and clothing, and the majority have laid in a supply which is calculated to last them all winter. During the winter season the business in the northern part of Alaska is naturally restricted to some extent by the extreme cold, and most of the miners and prospectors lay up enough provisions and other articles to last until spring, thus avoiding the higher prices that they are compelled to pay during the season when navigation on the Yukon becomes impossible."-Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The Recession of Nlagara Falls. Horeshoe Fall has receded more than 260 feet within the memory of living men, and is now travelling toward Lake Erie at the rate of fully 500 feet a century. At present the crest of this fall, as its name implies, has the general outline of a horseshoe, and its length is about 2,000 feet, but if the present rate of erosion continues the length of the crest may reach 8,000 feet or more within the next half millennium. Now the Canadian end of the Horeshoe Fall is a few rods upstream from the spot whence Table Rock has fallen into the Gorge, but the indications are that this end of the cutaract will gradually retire toward the Dufferin Islands, leaving a bare cliff as the apex cuts its way upatream.-Alton D. Adams in the Scientific American. Reasoning Power of Animals Reasoning Power or Animals Men apparently conceive ideas from a "clear sky," but such genius could not manifest itself were not the mind already highly cultivated by much conscious effort—reasoning—and experience. On the other hand, animals and small children become conscious of much knowledge by merely witnessing the intelligent movements of others, and in time, without thought or effort on their part, they suddenly discover that they also are competent to do the same thing, or, in other words, they begin to imitate. It is a general impression among psychologists that animals probably do not reason; they have no ideas as we have—A. F. Shore in the Scientific American. Taking His Turn. The other day, as I was walking along the Strand, I almost ran into the arms of one off my old parishioners from a parish in the north of Yorkshire. He was in gala dress and looking radiantly happy and pleased with himself. "Halloc, Mr. Blank!" I said, in greeting my friend, "and what are you doing in town?" "Oh," said he, a bit bashfully, "Tee on me honeymoon." "Dear me! That's interesting news," I said, "and I am, sure I congratulate you heartily. But where is the bride?" "Tmissus?" said he; "oh, she couldn't come. Her mother was taken bad on t'twedding day, and she had to go and nurse her, soa I thouw I'd come honeymoonin' myself.

A Scientific Treatment for Whiskey, Opium, Morphine, Cocaine, Chlorine, Tobacco and Neupharthia or Nerve Excavation. The Only Loyal Institute in Georgia 235 Capitol Ave., ATLANTA, GA. TAKE a common Clay Pipe. Put a simple "Acetylene" Gasburner on its stem. Bind the two in position with a tight-fitting piece of Rubber Hose. Then fill the bowl of the pipe with fine-ground Calcium Carbide. Next tie a flag over head of the bowl to keep in the Carbide. Now put the pipe into a Glass of Water, as in picture. There you have a complete Gasplant for 25 cents. Touch a match to the Burner—and you'll get a beautiful White Gas-light. Of course, this is, only an experiment, but it shows the wonderful simplicity of Acetylene Lighting. That very simplicity gave Acetylene Light a setback at first. It seemed so simple to turn Calcium Carbide into Gas-light that over 600 different kinds of "tanks" and "Acetylene Machines" were invented, patented, and marketed for the purpose, by about as many different people. It seemed so simple to turn Calcium Carbide in Gas-light that over 600 different kinds of "tanks" and "Acetylene Machines" were invented, patented, and marketed for the purpose, by about as many different people. Well, the thing to be expected certainly happened. About 530 of these "Acetylene Machines" had been invented and sold by people who knew more about Tinware than they did about Gas-making. The "Calcium Carbide" was all right all the time but 530 of the machines for turning it into Gas-well all wrong all the time. So Acetylene Gas "got a bad name," though it clear enough now that it never deserved it at any time. It was like selling Wood Stoves to burn Hard-Coin, and then blaming the Coal for not burning. Lots of things happened to grieve the Owners these 530 makes of alleged "Acetylene Machines." But very few accidents occurred from them even in the days of rank experiment and dense ignorance among, "Generator" Makers. Of course, a gun will go off unexpectedly, now and then, if the trigger be pulled by a person who "didn know it was loaded."

Because, they have to pay the bills, if Fire or Explosion occurs, from any one of the Acetylene Generators they authorize. And, here's a proof of their good judgment. Though there are now Two Million people using Acetylene Light in America, there have only been four Fires from it in one year, against 8865 Fires from Ketotone and Gasoline. Though there are now Two Million people in Acetylene Light in America, there have only been fires from it in one year, against 8865 Fires in Cerosene and Gasoline. There have also been 4691 Fires from Elecylene Fire from City Gas, and 520 Fires from Cerosene. Besides these, there have been 26 Fires from Cum's rays, But, only four Fires from Acetylene. That shows how careful the Insurance Boat in its examination of Acetylene Generator, a permitting" only the 70 makes that were aboard, out of the 600 experiments that were on the market. Well—the boom in Acetylene Light made prices possible on the material it is derived from calcium Carbide, a material that looks like Gout acts like Magic. Today, Acetylene Light is a still third cheaper Kerosene Light, or Gasoline Light, per Candle. It is not more than half the price of Electricity for three-fourths that of City Gas. If I can't prove these statements to your action my name is not "Acetylene Jones". But Acetylene is more than the safest and cheap of the year roos. It is also the Whistle Light—the nearest to a sunlight in health-giving Blue and Violet light because of its freedom from flickers the easiest of all Artificial Light on the Eyes. It is so much like real Sunlight that it has plants grow 24 hours per day in dark cellars who twice as fast as similar plants that only light the day of day-time, half the time. That was proven by Cornell University in months' experiment made this very year. Now, I've saved up for the last a point more important to you than all the others about Acetylene. It consumes only one-fourth as much of the oxygen from the Air, of Living rooms or beds either Kerosene or City Gas-Light consumes. That's a tremendous difference in a lifetime—three-fourths of a difference. Because, Oxygen is Life. And every bit of Oxygen stolen from the Living, Children and Men, through Lighting that can never be made good again. A 24 Candle-Power Acetylene Light costs two-fifths of a cent per hour. That's about $5.85 per year, if burned every year for four steady hours. A Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost third more, viz.: three-fifths of a cent per hour, Kerosene alone, or $7.75 per year. That's exclusive of broken lamp chimneys,icks, and the everlasting drudgery and dank, cleaning, filling and trimming daily.

There have also been 460r Fires from Electricity, 1907 Fires from City Gas, and 590 Fires from Candles. Besides these, there have been 26 Fires from the Sun's rays, But, only four Fires from Acetylene. That shows how careful the Insurance Board was in its examination of Acetylene Generators, and, in "permitting" only the 70 makes that were above suspicion, out of the 600 experiments that were once on the market. Well—the boom in Acetylene Lighting-made lower prices possible on the material it is derived from, viz. Calcium Carbide, a material that looks like Granite but looks like Magie. Today, Acetylene Light is a still third cheaper than Kerosene Light, or Gasoline Light, per Candle-Power. It is not more than half the price of Electric Light, nor three-fourths of City Gas. If I can't prove these statements to your full satisfaction my name is not "Acetylene Jones." But: Acetylene is more than the safest and cheapest Light of the year 1905. It is also the Whitest Light—the nearest to natural Sunlight in health-giving Blue and Violet rays, and because of this, with its freedom from flicker, it is the easiest of all Artificial Light on the Eyes. It is so much like real Sunlight that it has made plants grow 24 hours per day in dark cellars where no ray of Sunlight could reach them. It made them grow twice as fast as similar plants that had only the Sunlight of day-time, viz. half the time. That was proven by Cornell University in three- months' experiment made this very year. Now, I've saved up for the last a point more important to you than all the others about Acetylene Light. It consumes only one-fourth as much of the vital Oxygen from the Air of Living rooms or bed-rooms, as either Kerosene or City Gas-Light consumes. That's a tremendous difference in a lifetime, mark you—three-fourths of a difference. Because, Oxygen is Life. And every bit of Oxygen stolen from the lungs of Women, Children and Men, through Lighting, is a loss that can never be made good again. A 24 Candle-Power Acetylene Light costs you only two-fifths of a cent per hour. That's about $5.85 per year, if burned every night in the year for four steady hours.
