VOL. XXI. Alleged Plot Brews to Assassinate Russian Autocrat. TERROISTS ARE ACTIVE The Assembling of Parliament and Great Influx into St. Petersburg Incentive for Added. Precautionary Measures. Advices from St. Petersburg state that although there are few surface indications of the fact, an earnest duel is in progress between the police and terrorists and revolutionists, who are thronging the capital, alert for any opportunity to strike Emperor Nicholas, or other marked men among the officials gathered for the national parliament. Precautionary measures on an extensive scale have been taken. The police have been reinforced by the keenest men from interior cities. The railroads are being watched most diligently, but a search of the baggage of three members of the lower branch of the parliament was the only public incident in campaign Tuesday by which several terrorists were so quietly bagged that the general public was not aware of the arrests. Troops and the police dispersed a meeting of the Economical Society on Tuesday night. Several members of the national assembly who protested against the dispersal of the meeting narrowly escaped being bayonetted. The members of the constitutional democratic convention were very much excited over the issue of the fundamental law and the dispersal of the meeting, and it required all the influence of the leaders to restrain them from doing something desperate. A mass meeting of "Black Hundred" held under the presidency of M. Dubrovin, poured oil on the flames by the exaction of an oath from all present to the effect that if parliament is found to consist of "traltors" they will offer their lives to protect the autocracy. The local authorities, with a genius for blundering, also inflamed the workmen Tuesday. Without warning they ordered many of the leaders of the workmen to leave the city. They were not even given time to remove their families. The matter was brought to the attention of a meeting of 122 peasant workmen, members of parliament, who denounced it as an attempt on the part of the government to bring about a strike on the eve of the assembling of parliament for the purpose of provoking a struggle and under cover of the disorder to dissolve parliament. ATLANTANS WANT EXPOSITION. Question Practically Settled at Enthusiastic Mass Meeting. A big mass meeting of Atlanta citizens was held Tuesday night to decide the question of holding the exposition in 1910, and when Colonel Graves, master of ceremonies, called for an expression from the 1,000 persons present, with one enthusiastic accord they replied: "We want the exposition!" Not a negative was recorded and not one word from any speaker discounted the great opportunity that exists for an exposition, and all joined in seeking to bring this out in all its interesting details. The crowd rallied to the views of the speakers in hearty applause and money. WHITECARS PLEAD GUILTY. Over Three Hundred Are Fined in Mississippi Court. Over 300 citizens of Franklin county, Miss., charged with being members of an alleged whitecapper organization, pleaded guilty Tuesday afternoon before Judge Niles on the charge of intimidating government homesteaders and were each assessed the minimum fine of $25 and three months imprisonment. The imprisonment was held up pending good behavior. NO CREDIT FOR 'FRISCO. United States Not to Guarantee Bonds of the City. The senate committee on finance Monday authorized an adverse report on the resolution looking to a national guarantee of credit to San Francisco. The report of the committee said it was determined unanimously that the relief plans "are without the legitimate province of congressional action, and therefore the appointment of a joint commission to consider their advisability is inexpedient." The Savannah Tribune. SAVANNAH. GA. SATURDAY. MAY 12, 1906. MAN-TRAPPERS ON TRIAL: Two Pennsylvania Women Arraigned In Court for Fraudulent Use of Malls for Fake Exploits. The feature of the trial, which was begun at Harrisburg, Pa., Tuesday, of Mrs. Lucile Patterson and her young niece, Edna Kirk, who are accused by the United States government of using the mails to defraud, was the testimony relating to Rev. J. B. Dozier of Ashburn, Ga. It is alleged that the woman ran a matrimonial paper and the Rev. J. B. Dozier read that Mrs. Patterson was seeking a loving husband and he forthwith wrote her. Several letters were exchanged; the clergyman proposed and was accepted. Then there came an appealing little note which told of the financial necessities of the prospective bride. She was poor, very poor, and she could not marry unless railroad fare was sent to her. Thirty dollars she thought would land her in Ashburn ready for the wedding. The Rev. Mr. Dozler wrote a letter full of hesitation and some doubt. But the next week there came a letter so touching that he was almost ashamed of himself. It told of Mrs. Patterson's work for charity, of her Sunday school class and the happy children she taught each week. It told of her uncle, her dear kind uncle, who was pastor of the church. It was accompanied by a letter of recommendation from her Sunday school superintendent. The Rev. Mr. Dozler later found that this was forged. No time was lost in sending the $30 to Lewiston, and the amable Georga pastor bought him a new suit, and began to spruce up the house for the coming of his bride. Days and weeks passed, and Mrs. Patterson did not appear at Ashburn. The Rev. Mr. Dozler grew nervous, and when his letters remained unanswered he appealed to the postal authorities at Washington. Other men who had sent money and received no bride as per agreement also wanted explanations, and an inspector took a trip to Lewiston and made inquiries. Mrs. Patterson, who was known in Lewiston as Mrs. Park, grew indignant when she was questioned, but when the inspector exhibited a package of letters she broke down. A few days later a United States marshal arrested her. The government detectives say the woman caught scores of men for sums ranging from $5 to $10. The arrest of Miss Edna Kirk, the niece, was made a few days ago. It is alleged that she was a most capable assistant of Mrs. Patterson. Edna is not yet 21 years old. She is pretty and fairly well educated. The government has only been able to connect her with one case, Gulver Strandford, a nympathetic youth, of Thief River, Minn., asserts that he was induced to give up $15. CANADA GIVES TO 'FRISCO. Dominion Parliament Votes $100.035 and Asks Acceptance. Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco elected applause by reading the following telegram at a meeting of the reconstruction committee Tuesday: "Toronto, May S.—1906—The Canadian parliament voted one hundred thousand dollars for the relief of San Francisco, which was declined by President Roosevelt. It is still awaiting acceptance: Will you take it it offered direct? Please rush answer. "TORONTO DAILY STAR." James D. Phelan, chairman of the finance committee, was asked to answer the message at once in the affirmative. MORE MONEY IS WANTED. Additional Three Millions Asked of Congress for 'Fleece Sufferers. A Washington special says: The president Tuesday transmitted to congress a letter from Secretary Taft regarding the appropriation of an additional three million dollars to meet conditions existing at San Francisco. LARCENY QUESTION ARGUED. George Perkins Case Heard Before Appellate Court in New York. Argument was begun Tuesday on the George W. Perkins case in the appellate division of the supreme court in New York. Mr. Perkins was formerly vice president of the New York Life Insurance company. He was brought before the court in March on a charge of testing the question whether the making of political contributions from insurance companies' funds constituted a crime. AFTER OIL TRUST President Sends a Special Message to Congress. ATTACKS SECRET RATES Roosevelt Says Giant Octopus Has Been Holding Up Railroads and the People—Transmits Garfield's Report. President Roosevelt Friday transmitted to congress the report of James R. Garfield, commissioner of corporations, giving the results of his investigation of the subject of transportation and freight rates in connection with the oil industry. In his message the president expresses the view that the report is of capital importance because of the effort now being made to secure such enlargement of the powers of the interstate commerce commission as will confer upon the committee power in some measure adequate to meet the clearly demonstrated need of the situation. That the Standard Oil company has benefited enormously, up almost to the present moment, by secret rates, many of which were clearly unlawful, the president says the report clearly shows the benefit thereby secured amounting to at least three-quarters of a million a year. On this subject he says: "This three-quarters of a million represents the profit that the Standard Oil company obtains at the expense of the railroads; but of course the ultimate result is that it obtains much larger profit at the expense of the public. A very striking result of the investigation has been that shortly after the discovery of these secret rates by the commissioner of corporations the major portion of them were promptly corrected by the railroads so that most of them have now been done away with." The statement is added that the department of justice will take up the prosecution of at least certain cases. Continuing, the president*says: "But in addition to these secret rates the Standard Oil profits immensely by open rates which are so arranged as to give it an overwhelming advantage over its independent competitors." Commissioner Garfield finds that the output of refined oil amounts to about 26,000,000 barrels annually, of which the Standard Oil company controls about 23,000,000 and approximately the same proportion of the other finished products of finished petroleum. Continuing, the report says: "The Standard claims that the location of its refineries and the use of pipe lines are natural advantages to which it is justly entitled. While in a measure that is true, it must not be forgotten that these advantages were in part obtained by means of unfair competitive methods after years of fierce industrial strife. The development of the pipe line system by the Standard Oil company was the result of special agreements with railroad companies. Furthermore those so-called natural advantages have been and are being greatly increased by discriminations in freight rates, which give the Standard monopolistic control in the greater portion of the country. "An immediate result of this delimitation of competitive area is shown by the exorbitant profits shown in the non-competitive fields." "In 1904 the secret rate received from the railroads saved to the Standard Oil company three-quarters of a million dollars, representing the difference between the open rates and the rates actually paid. "These discriminations," he said, "have been so long continued and so secret and so large in amount as to make it certain they were due to concerted action by the Standard and the railroads." FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY. Four Men Engage in Pistol Duel in a Birmingham Saloon. As the result of a general shooting affair Friday night in a saloon, in Birmingham, Ala., Tomas Hewlett is dead, John Shugart is expected to die, and Frank Lee is shot through the head, and Leonard Potts is shot through the ankle. The fatal shooting was done by Harry Haynes, who claims that Hewlett first opened fire on him, and that Shugart immediately took up Hewlett's fight and that he had to shoot them both. The other two men were bystanders. FRIGHTFUL TRAIN CARSH Takes the Lives of Ten People and Injures a Score of Others- Impact Terrific and Disastrous. A special from Altoona, Pa., says: The most disastrous accident on the Pennsylvania railroad since the disaster east of Harrisburg nearly a year ago, when about twenty persons were killed, occurred Friday night about 10 o'clock on the Petersburg branch about 500 yards east of Clover Creek junction. The Chicago Mall, bound east, and the Chicago and St. Louis Express, bound west, two of the fastest trains of the system, going at full speed, met head on. Seven cars were wrecked, and both engines badly damaged. Six persons were killed outright, and four died later from injuries. About twenty of the passengers and train crew were more or less seriously injured, but as far as is known all will recover. Some hours before twenty-seven loaded freight cars had been wrecked on the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad at Union Furnace, 20 miles east of Altoona. Debris blocked all the tracks and fast passenger trains were run over the Petersburg branch. The Chicago and St. Louis express was sent from Altoona and the Chicago mail from Huntingdon. At Clover Creek Junction, about midway between Altoona and Huntingdon, where a single line traverses a heavy curve, the two trains crashed together with frightful force, the impact standing the locomotives on end and pilling the cars of the mail in a heap. One coach contained thirty-one passengers and none escaped injury. Officials of the Pennsylvania road state that the disaster was due to a misconception of orders on the part of the crew of the Chicago mall. Instructions had been given to pull on to a sliding near Williamsburg, two miles east of where the accident happened, the St. Louis flyer having the right of line. Heartrending scenes unnerved the rescuers as they worked by the glare of oil lamps in an effort to extricate the unfortunates, who were under the wreckage. Until a wrecking crew arrived from Altoona, two hours after the accident, human hands were impotent to extend succor to the malmed and mangled passengers. MINERS MAKE CONCESSIONS. Convention Unanimously Votes for a Return to Work. On the advice of President Mitchell, representing the sub-scale committee, the miners' convention at Scranton, Pa., Saturday unanimously voted to adopt the first proposition of the $ \rho $operators, a continuation of the award of the anthracite coal commission with the modification of the term for which it is to continue to be mutually agreed upon. The operators' suggestion was that it should be at least three years; The action of the convention, together with a request for a conference was telegraphed by President Mitchell to Chairman Baer of the operators' committee, and a conference in New York was agreed to. The only matters to be discussed are the length of time the award shall continue, and the provision that there shall be no discrimination against the men who cheyed the mine workers' suspension order. PLEA FOR THE CHINESE Made in Resolutions by Methodists In General Conference. One of the features of the Southern Methodist general conference at Birmingham Saturday was an address by Rev. Young J. Allen, a missionary who had devoted his life to the Chinese. As a result of his plea in behalf of the people of the Orient, strong resolutions were adopted by the conference to be sent to President Roosevelt, requesting the American government to give such interpretation to existing laws as will not allow discourtesies and hardships to Chinese students, merchants and others who may reach the shores of the United States. Bloody Battle With Strikers Occurs in Passale, N. J. In a battle between riotous Italian strikers and the police in Passale, N. J., Saturday, four of the rioters were shot and a number of the policemen injured. One of the men shot may die. Thirty-two men were made prisoners by the police. The riot took place about the building of the Daily Herald, which is being constructed and where a strike of diggers and shovel men was begun a few days ago. MANGLED BY BOMB Russian Officials In Moscow Victims of Dynamiter. ASSASSIN WAS KILLED Delegates to First Parliament of Russi- slans Begin to Assemble In 8t. Petroleum Outcome of Hul A bomb was thrown at the carriage of Vice Admiral Doubassoff, governor general of Moscow, as he was being driven to the palace Sunday. He was wounded and his alde-de-camp and a sentry was killed. The man who threw the bomb was killed. He wore 'an officer's uniform. Several bystanders were wounded. Vice Admiral Doubassoff's life was savde by the poor aim of his would-be assassin. The bomb exploded on the pavement several paces to the rear of the carriage, hurling the mutilated corpse of the terrorist backward and tearing off one arm and the face of an alde who was descending from the carriage. Governor General Doubassoff was thrown from his carriage. He was burned and bruised. The coachman's skull was fractured and he was taken to a hospital. It is thought the assassin was a student who wore an officer's uniform as a disguise. The throwing of the bomb caused a panic. It is believed that the terrorists have passed sentence of death on scores of high Russian officials and the attempt on the life of Doubassoff marks the beginning of the execution of the death decrees. First National Parliament Close at Hand—Delogates Arriving. The members of the national parliament and of the council of the empire are arriving in St. Petersburg on every train. Quite a number of distinguished foreign visitors and journalists already have reached the capital to witness a great historic event—the inauguration of the Russian parliament. The fears that the government might attempt to dissolve the parliament before it had the opportunity of accomplishing anything are vanishing, and despite the bomb outrage at Moscow and the continued irreconcilable attitude of the extreme revolutionists, there is a more hopeful feeling that Russia may enter smoothly into parliamentary life. This is due not only to the moderate attitude of the constitutional democratic majority, whose leaders are holding the extremists among them in check, but to the manifest desire of the government to avoid a conflict. The new cabinet has announced a policy of hands off, practically saying that the parliament shall have carte blanche, and that so long as it does not attempt to meddle with the fundamental laws of the empire the parliament will be allowed to offer its own solution for the crying agrarian problem. With the crying attitude of the government, if it is sincerely carried out, the constitutional democrats for the present are content. They believe their final victory when the emperor will be forced to grant a constitution is not far off—a few months at most—especially if in the meantime they are permitted to accomplish something tangible which will strengthen them with the country. M. Naboukoff, leader of the constitutional democrats, said frankly than his party had no desire at present to have a premier and cabinet even if it could. Such responsibility would place it upon the defensive, while by remaining in opposition with the country behind it, the chances of forcing a complete surrender were increased instead of being diminished. The little group of socialists of the extreme left has not yet shown its hand; but without the constitutional democrats who have a clear working majority it will be powerless to force a conflict. SMALLROX INVADES ZION. Bloody Clash May Follow Attempt at Vaccination of Cult. A physical clash and possible blood-shed following the outbreak of smallpox in Zion City, Ill., is threatened if the authorities at Waukegan, a nearby town, carry into effect their announced determination to quarantine and vaccinate the inhabitants. Vaccination means to the Zionites a violation of the basic principle of their religion. To submit to it would, in their minds, be a repudiation of divine healing. METHODIST DOCTRINES May Be Changed If Recommendations of General Conference Committee Carried to Conclusion. At Monday's session of the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, in Birmingham, a resolution concerning the preparation of a new statement of the doctrinal faith of Methodism was introduced by W. F. Tillett and W. R. Lambuth, of the Tennessee conference as follows: "While reaffirming our absolute faith in our articles of religion, we do not believe that in their present form they meet the existing needs of our church as a statement of doctrinal system of evangelical Methodist Armianism. Believing that the different branches of the world of Methodism as represented in an ecumenical Methodist conference can and should unite in the preparation of such a statement of our common faith as is needed, and believing that this general conference should take such steps as may be necessary to secure in the early future the co-operation of other representative Methodist churches in the preparation of a new statement of our faith, we therefore offer the following resolution: "Resolved, That the college of bishops be requested to appoint a commission of five members, one of whom shall be a bishop, which shall invite other branches of Methodism to unite with us in the preparation of such a statement of our faith and such an expression of our doctrinal system as is called for in our day, and this commission shall represent our church in the preparation of the same. "W. F. TILLETT. "W. R. LAMBUTH." With the introduction of the resolution, a motion was made to create a special committee to consider it. The special committee consists of the two ministers who offered the resolution and the Rev. C. W. Carter of Arcadia, La. A complaint against the episcopal administration of Bishop H. C. Morrison was also read and formally filed with the episcopacy committee. It relates to certain differences between the Wayne Memorial Church of New Orleans, and the bishop, and is signed by a majority of the stewards of that church, who are said to have resigned because Rev. Richard Wilkins, pastor, was transferred from Wayne church to a church in Monroe, La. A complaint was also filed by the German Mission conference, by which the admission of a bishop is questioned. FATAL DUEL WITH BURGLAR. Wealthy Staten Island Man Meets Death in Attack on Robber Charles L. Spier, a prominent business man of Staten Island, and said to be confidential agent of H. H. Rogers, vice president of the Standard Oil company, was shot and instantly killed in a duel with a burglar in his home in Staten Island, early Monday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Spier were awakened by the noise of a burglar who was gathering up the silverware in the dining room on the floor below. Arming himself with a revolver Mr. Spier ran down stairs and shot at the intruder. His first shot missed the man, who drew his own weapon and fired two bullets into Mr. Spier's heart. The burglar escaped, leaving behind the booty he had collected. WILL NARROW COURT REVIEW. Bittuation Anent Railroad Rate Bill Takes: Another Change. The situation of the railroad rate bill took another decided change in the senate Monday, and at the same time there was an additional step toward final agreement as to what the judicial review amendment shall be. The Allison compromise proposition met with such determined opposition from those senators who have fought against a "broad" court review that, despite President Roosevelt's acceptance of it, an agreement was reached by which several restrictions will be placed on the review proposition. Walved Examination at Preliminary Trial in Galveston, Fla. J. N. Strohbar, walved an examination before Justice Coleman at Gainesville, Fla., Friday, on the charge of embezzling money from the Atlantic Coast Line and was bound over in the sum of $1,000 for his appearance at the spring term of the circuit court, which convenes immediately. The preliminary trial was originally set for Thursday, but was postponed to Friday owing to the fact that important witnesses could not be reached. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums.

As the result of indictments returned by the special grand jury a host of vagrant negroes have been rounded up in Americus by the sheriff and jailed upon charges of vagrancy. The grand jury sifted the situation thoroughly and in addition to indictments against negroes, included numerous whites of the half world as well. All the women promptly furnished bond for appearance in court three weeks hence. For Improvement of Roads. The people of DeKalb county are determined to improve their public thoroughfares, and with this end, in view they have decided to issue nearly a quarter of a million dollars' worth of bonds, the money for their sale to be used solely to better the roads of the county. This action was decided upon at a great mass meeting in Decatur, which was attended by leading and influential citizens from every section of the county. * * * Flames Destroy Depot and Cotton. Fire, presumably started by ratcating matches, destroyed the Central of Georgia railway depot at Marshallville, and two cotton warehouses with entire contents. The loss will probably reach $30,000, and is covered by insurance. The warehouses burned were those of the Frederick & Frederick and that of H. W. Taylor. The Frederick warehouse contained one hundred bales of cotton, and the Taylor warehouse 130 bales. Want Lower Rates on Peaches. Preparations for a persistent campaign against what is regarded excessive freight and refrigerating rates on the shipment of Georgia peaches was begun by the transportation committee of the Georgia Peach Growers association when the committee met in Atlanta a few days ago. The outcome of the meeting was the adoption of a resolution to the effect that the interstate commerce commission should be applied to immediately and that a case be opened looking to reduction of the present exorbitant charges. Crooks Under Heavy Bond. C. H. Clark and Thomas Newman, the supposed yeggmen arrested in the Cannon house in Atlanta a few weeks ago, were bound over by Justice of the Peace J. P. Carson at Forsyth a few days ago in the sum of fifty thousand dollars each, in default of which they were taken back to the Bibb county jail, where they will be held until the superior court convenes at Forsyth on the third Monday in August. Clark and Newman were arraigned on two counts, that of highway robbery, in that they held up and robbed the Forsyth marshal of his pistol, and safe blowing, it being held they blew open the safe of the Trio Manufacturing company at Forsyth. Justice Carson fixed a bond of $25,000 on each count for each of the prisoners. Wants to Meet Lawyer In Hades. J. G. Rawlings, convicted of instigating the murder of the Carter children, has written a most vindictive letter to one of the attorneys concerned in the prosecution. In it Rawlings said that he expected to meet and know the attorney in hell. "After being 10,000 years in hades, I expect to rise up and point the finger of scorn at you and cry, 'hurrah for the supremacy of the law and the punishment of the wicked,' calling the devil to witness what I have to say to you." Rawlings further says that when he reaches the lower regions he will tell why he left at the river the hack which he hired to carry him from Valdosta to his home on the morning after the murder of the Carter children, and many other things in connection with the case which have not been told. As already announced a respite to Friday, June 8, has been granted Rawlings, his two sons—Milton and Jesse—and to Alf Moore, their negro accomplice, by Governor Terrell. It is the third and last interference by the governor. Judge Mitchell will again pass sentence of death upon the four men convicted as well as a life sentence upon Leonard Rawlings.

Pekin Surprised at Apprehension Felt in United States. The statements to the effect that there is apprehension in the United States that the Chinese boycott is growing have caused surprise in Pekin. All the information obtainable shows that the movement is waning. The customs report for 1905 just issued shows the American imports were 77,000,000 taels, compared with 29,000,000 in 1904. ISLAND STRIKE INDORSED. pouses Cause of Porto Ricans. The executive council of the American Federation of Labor has given its endorsement to a strike among 3,000 agricultural laborers in the Arecibo district, Porto Rico.

Tho two young men got pretty well acquainted the first evening and the bookkeeper thought he should like his companion immensely. Before morning he changed his mind. He knew he should hate him. The room- mate snored. It was not any infant snore, but a fully deyeloped, mighty ‘snore, such as he had never heard in all bis yarled experience. He spoke about it while they were dressing. “Snored, did 12” said -the room- mate. “That's funay.

That night the bookkeeper brought home a newspaper clipping wich he had run across in the course of the day. “If people who snore would take a tablespoonful of cayenne pepper and a tablespoonful of olive ofl before re- tiring they-will find the mixture a positive cure for snoring.” That was the gist of the paragraph. After dinner the bookkeeper went to the drug store and bought a plentiful supply of both ingredients. “I tell you what it 1s," he sald, when he came back. “If a little of anything ‘is good, a whole lot of it ought to be still better. Instead of taking two tablespoonfuls of this mix- ture you ought to double the dose.” Notwithstanding his promised do- cility the roommate demurred a lit- tle, but the other persisted, and after much gasping and weeping the fiery dose was swallowed. The roommate dhad taken to the sofa several nights before that. He sought the couch agala that evening and the bookkeep- ef, being left In sole possession of the bed, slept peacefully the whole night through, undisturbed by a sin- gle snore. The next morning he sat up and looked at the silent form on the couch, - “Hello, old man,” he said, “that stuff worked like a top, didn’t it? Nary a snore, eh?” There was no answér from the mo- tionless figure. * . “Say,” he went on, “are you still asleep?” ‘Tlie figure sat up then. Its “face was flushed, its eyes bloodshot, its hair rumpled. “Asleep?” it bellowed, “Asleep? Don't speak to me. I hate you. I'm burning up. If Mount Pelee were in my stomach I couldn't be any hotter than I am now. No, I am not asleep. I haven't been asleep all night, I never expect to sleep again. No won- der I didn't snore.”"—New York Press. ‘Wine Cups. a. : Cp py ‘Wine cups in ancient days were made of precious metals. One form was like a broad and shallow bowl, with a handio at the side.

FIND FOREST OF BURIED OAKS. k —— Trees In England Have Been Under ground 2,000 Years, | A wonderful relle of the past has ‘been brought to light at Yazley, Pe- terbofough, in the discovery of what is most probably a buried forest. At a depth of seven feet have been found a number of oak trees which have lain buried for some 2,000 years. Most of the trees are almost perfect fn condition, and are being sold to furuiture manufacturers and others. Altogether about elghty treos have been raised, and hundreds more are left in the grourd untouched at a depth of five or six feet. In nearly all the cases the roots are found at- tached, The frees are in clusters of three or four, polatiog in different dl- rections, ard in somé instances they He across each other. .

LIQUID AIR FOR COMMERCE. donaul Describes Results Obtained by a French Inventor. Consul Brunot, of Saint-Etienne, writes to the State Department, Wash: ington, that a group of savants of thé Academle des Sciences, Paris, very re- cently paid a visit to a factory at Boulogne-sur-Seine to witness the man- ufacture for industrial purposes of ,enormous quantities of oxygen and nl- trogen, extracted in a liquid state from atmospheric air, Georges Claude, the inventor of the process, furnished the explanations. As the liquid oxygen fowed out fxm the generator it was of a bluish hue, while the nitrogen was colorless, Several ‘experiments were made for the visitors to prove the importance of having an abundent supply of oxygen at one’s dis- posal; a forge set up in: the grounds showed the wonderful effects of the gas. The fire, which bad almost dled out, was immediately rendered incan- descent by a current of bydroxide from the biowplpe. A bar of fron was brought to a red heat and then melted like eed. ‘Two pleces of tron were welded in a few minutes by the ald of a powerful flame from the blowplpe. Much costly and tegious riveting will be no longer necessary;-{ron will be ‘welded against fron, copper against copper, ete. The doctors already fore- see the possible treatment with lHquid air of certain affections of microbian origin, such as osteomyelitis, anthrax, and the malignant disease of the skin termed lupus. ‘ Liquid alr has been tried in mines as -an explosive agent, and for this pur- pose marl fs wet with petroleum and then saturated with liquid alr, The paste thus formed constitutes a good explosive when fired with fulminate, and has the advantage, when it bangs fire, of belng without danger, as the liquid air evaporates very rapidly, ‘The price of oxygen, according to M.

The White House at Washington, which has heen the “King’s Palace” of the American People since it was first occupied by President Madison in 1809, has recently undergoue a tics ougk*courze-of remodelling, renovation and repair., Every American citizen {s owner of an undivided elghty or eighty-five millionth part of the White Honte, as well ax of the other Public Buildings and Monuments in the Cap- {tol City. An item in the renovation of the remodeled White House was repainting. Every yisitor in Weshing- ton knows why the White House Is so called—because 4: {s literally a “white house.” The exterior paint must there- tore be white. Now while the pure white surfaces and simple I{ues of the ‘White House, set in the midst of green lawns and beautiiul trees, produce a very satisfying effect of dignified simplicity, white palat from a practical polut of view, Is about the most un- satisfactory Lind of palnt that could have been selected by the original de- signers. First, because any white Daint fs easily discolored by smoke and dust, and, second, Secause ordinary white paint itself gradually turns gray or brownish yellow from exposure. But white the White House Js, and white it must remain or it srould no longer be the “White Houze.” So the Tenovgtors, maklig the: best of a dis- couraging situation, sought for the best kind of white paint procurable. The average citizen if asked {o guess what kind of paint they finally decided on would probably answer—‘white lead and ofl,” but be would guess wrongly. ‘The paint selected as the best obtatn- able, was :. teady-mixed pasut, such a can be bought in any well-furnished village store, such as is used by more than half of the eighty or elgbty-fve million ovners of the White House ov their own homes, That one brand of mixed paint was used instead of an- other 12 a mere accidental detail— there are fifty or a hundred brands on the market wat might have oeen se- Jected in other circumstances, and, in fact, a different brand was “sed io painting the Capitol. . Every property owner, ‘therefore, who paints his house with a high grade zeady-mixed paint, is following the example set by the Government Authorities at Washington, Who used ready-rmixed paint, because they could find nbthing else as good. ‘Mourning Colors, . ‘The following are the varlous col- prs used for ‘mourning in different countries, together with reasons glv- en for the selection: « Black expresses privation of light worn throughout Europe and Amerl- ca. ‘Yellow, the sere and yellow leaf; Egypt and Burma, In Brittany -wid- ows’ caps ‘among the peasants are yollow.

REPAIRING BRAIN, ‘A Cortain Way By Food. Every misister, lawyer, journalist, pbysiclan, author or business, man is forced under pressure of modern con- ditions to the active and sometimes over-active use of the brain.

Allow these to cook together for five minutes and serve with croutons. A Tip For the Cook. ‘Tke commonest mistakes we make In cooking potatoes are that we tse too many fried and boiled potatoes.” Fried Potatoés are less easily digestible than food cooked in other ways. The most wasteful way to cook potatoes {s to peel them, put them in cold water and bring them slowly to a boll. This method allows the water to penctrate to thé centre of the potato so that a good deal of the starch may be dis- solved and lost and the potato becomes soggy because it has not been “cooked dry.” On the other hand, Jf you put peeled or cut potatogs into bolling water the gluten is hardened at once (as 1s that other common albuminons tood—the white of an egg), thits pre- venting the water from getting to the starch and thereby ensuring a mealy potato. . The best way to codk potatoes is to bake them, because a dry heat being used none of the food valne is lost. Next in nutritive order is the bolling of Potatoes with thelr skins on. Next comes steaming, which everyone should practice instead of the common way of olling, because it wastes less starch, while giving the same kind of flavér and texture. Frying is the least ra- tional process. Of the “fancy” meth- ods “rielng” 1s one of the easiest and most attrective, and {t has the great advantage of being useful for potatoer unfit for other uses.—Good Housekeep ing. . ‘ CFOR TITHE.

LINCOLN’S WIT. hat and Kidicale Were His Weapons of Osense and Defense. Wit and’ ridicule were Lincoln's weapons of offense and defense, and he probably laughed more jury cases out of court than any otber man who practiced at the bar. “I once heard Mr. Lincoln defend 2 man in Bloomington against a charge of passing couuterfelt money,” Vice- President, Stevenson told the writer. There was a pretty clear case against the accused, but when the cbiet wit: ness for the people took the stand he stated that his name was J. Dirker Green, aud Lincoln reverted to this the moment he rose to cross-examine. ‘Why J, Parker Green? What did the J. stand for? John? Well, why didn’t the witness call bimself Jobn P. Green? That was bis name, wasn't It? Well, what was the reason be didn't wish to be known by bis right name? Did J, Parker Green have auyuilng to conceal, and if not, why did J. Parker Green part his name in that way?’ And so on. Of course the whole ex- amination was farcical.” Mr. Steven- son continued, “but there was some- thing irreststIbly funny in the rarsing tones and inflections of Mr. Lincoin’s volce as he rang the changes upon the man’s name; and at the recess the very, boys in the street took it up as a slogan and shouted ‘J, Parker Green! all over the town. Moreover, there was something in Lincoln's way of Inton- ing his questions which made me sus- piclous of the witness, and to this day bare never been able to rld my mind - of the absurd impression that there was something not quite right about J. Parker Green. It was all nonsense, of course; but the jury must have been affected as I was, for Green was dis credited and the defendant went free.” From Frederick Trevor Hill's “Line coln the Lawyer,” in The Century, ‘The Town Kicker. ‘This bit of philosophy is being passed around by the country papers: The (d¢kers on the farm are not as bard to get along with as the kickers in the towns.

Y.-The New York Avenue M. E. Church was crowded to its utmost capacity Sunday morning when Bishop McCabe preached the Conference sermon. Bishop McCabe preached for nearly an hour. His sermon was a typical, old-style Methodist oration, and evidently pleased his hearers intensely, for his remarks were punctuated from start to finish with cries of "Amen," "Hallelujah!" "Yes, yes," and frequent laughter. Bishop McCabe's subject was "The Preacher's Commission," and he took for his text the passage in Haggal: "And the desire of all nations shall come." He said: Haggal was one of the prophets who went to the captive Israelites to help to rebuild the walls of the ruined temple and of their destroyed city. Zechariah was the other one. They were both men of vast hope and mighty faith, and God gave them vision to read the future, and, because they saw the future, they were optimistic men. They did not believe that anything was too good to be true. We need such men. We have enough men who tell us how much better the past was than the present, and who discourage us, and we need men who talk hopefully men who speak of the future with delight, because they know that the Lord's prayer—that the will of God shall be done on earth as it is in Heaven—will some day be fulfilled. These two prophets went to the Israelites, to Jerusalem, and struggled to rebuild the temple, and they were greatly needed. Cyrus, the King of Persia, allowed them to go. Cyrus was the conqueror of Babylon, and these Jews had fallen into his hands and he treated them finally. Cyrus was a man who believed in religious liberty. It is strange that 2500 years ago there was a man in a high on earth position who believed that every man had a right to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience. I know Cyrus believed in religious liberty because he was not a Jew, and yet he allowed these Jews to go and rebuild their temple and ruined city. I think God lowed Cyrus on this account. I know He did, because He sent him a message by Isaiah, "I will go thee and make thee way straight before thee." Cyrus would have made a great Czar of Russia; there would be no more massacres of the Jews. And what a great Sultan of Turkey he would have made! There would be no more massacres of Armenians simply because they were Christians. I trust in God that the time will come when a great man like Cyrus will occupy every throne on earth, and when the idea that one man can control the conscience of another shall pass away forever. I have myself seen 580 instruments of torture which were used by men and devils—for I think the devil inspired men to use such instruments of torture—to make all men think alike. I looked with amazed interest at the "Maid of Nizemberg," a terrible instrument called by that name. It consists of great, wide doors, in which I counted nine spikes, several inches long. When the victim was asked for the last time "Will you repent?" if he said "No," these doors were slammed, and the vridim quivering on these spikes would suffer more anguish than Jesus Christ did on the cross. Men and women to-day would rather die than give up this old Bible, or surrender the right to worship God according to the dictates of conscience. We enjoy liberty to-day because such men and women have lived in the world. Let us prize the boon which they purchased with suffering and blood. These Israelites had been, in captivity for seven years, 42,300 of them went to build the temple. Some were old and some young. The young, men shouted for joy, for they did not remember Solomon's Temple, but the old men did, and they wept. They wept, first, because of the contrast between the amount of money which David gave Solomon to build the temple with and the sum they had now. Secondly, because of the contrast between the number of men—Solomon had 90,000, and now there were but 42,300. Solomon had 3600 overseers to keep the people at work—walking delegates, if you please. I wish all walking delegates were for that purpose. I wonder if they ever had a strike among them. I wonder if 16,000 of these $0,000 said to the older eighty-four percent: "Unless you join our society you cannot work at all." It would not have been allowed in Solomon's time. I had a letter yesterday from a prominent man in this city, asking me if the church was the friend of labor. I want to state publicly the creed of the M. E. Church. We are the friends of labor; we are the friends of all labor—of every man and woman who has to earn a living by the sweat of the face. We are the friends not only of the sixteen per cent. but of the $0,000, of 100 per cent. of labor, and anybody who is not a friend of 100 per cent. is not a true friend of labor. That is the creed of the M. E. Church, and I state it for them because they do not seem disposed to state it for themselves. And I believe I state the creed of all Protestant churches in this country. Then, again, I think the old men wept because of the contrast in the plans of the two temples. "The Desire of All Nations." That is one of the names of Christ. He had over 300 different appellations. Jacob called Him "Shiloh;" Job. "The Deliverer;" David, "The Shepherd;" Isaiah, "Wonderful," "Courier," "Mighty God," "Everlasting Father" and "Prime of Peace;" John the Baptist, "The Lamb of God;" Paul, the "Forerunner;" at the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said: "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the bright and morning star," and John called Him "King of Kings and Lord of Lords." But the sweetest name of all is Jesus. Or what a sweet name it is. He is my Saviour. It took an angel to bring that name. Gabriel said: "His name shall be called Jesus—that is the sweetest name of all—"His name shall be above all names. "At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow." Jesus, my Saviour, to Bethel cemes, Born in a manger in sorrow and shame; O, it is wonderful. bless his name, Calling for me! Calling for me! He did come, "and His own received Him not." The Jews are still looking for Him. That is the most pathetic thing in human history. A great Hebrew scholar has translated' the New Testament into Hebrew as a literary venture, and a rich man in London is spending a large fortune in circulating it. I hope it will fly around the earth. Let us get' the Jews converted, for that is the quickest way to convert the world. Do you know that there are 500,000 converted Jews? Let the glorious work go on. Now, "what think ye of Christ?" Is the wearer of all these glorious names divine or human or an angel? Some think He was a good man, a typical man, the best man in the world, but say He was not divine. They do not even admit that He was an angelic being. Some think He was God-man, "God manifest in the flesh." Jesus is divine. Peter believed that. Paul believed it. He said: "By Him all things created that are in Heaven and in earth, visible and invisible; all things were made by Him." Such things cannot be said about an angel or a human being. I think the epistle to the Hebrews was written by Paul to prove the divinity of Jesus. Some scholars say Apollo wrote it, and not Paul, but Paul wrote it. There was not anybody else great enough to write it. We must have a divine Saviour. No angel or human being could do what we need. He must be an Almighty Saviour. One who is "mighty to save and strong to deliver." Our sorrows are too great for human consolation; our sins are too mighty for the power of any man or angel. We must have a divine Saviour—and we have Him. Do you believe Jesus Christ can save a soul in an Instant? I know it; I have seen Him do it a thousand times. He can do it. He stands ready. Will you have Him? Do you desire Him? Brethren in the ministry, it is your business to preach Christ's Gospel to the world. Hurry with the Gospel. This is a sad world. There is one religion that teaches that sorrow is so inescapable, that the best thing that can be done is to be blown out like a candle, and 500,000,000 Buddhists believe it. Hurry with the Gospel. Read John xiv: "Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in Me." The presence of sorrow affects me strangely. I have never got used to it. It ought to awaken the sympathy of every human heart. I read a story of a Pullman car when, in the night, all was quiet except a baby's voice. One man called out, angrily: "Where is the mother of that child? I wish she would keep it quiet." The father of the child answered: "The mother of my babe is in her coffin in the baggage car. I hope the passengers will excuse me; I am doing the best I can." The other man rushed out and said: "Sle, forgive me. I did not understand. I would not have said it if I had known. Let me take that babe. I will keep it all night and you shall rest; you must be tired." His heart was changed and full of sympathy. Oh, the world is full of sorrow and sin; but we have the remedy. Let your feet be like the roe's upon the mountains. God grant the commission anew to-day to preach the Gospel. The Time is Short. Ah, my dear friends, you who are letting miserable misunderstandings run on from year to year; you who are keeping wretched quarrels alive because you cannot quite make up your mind that now is the day to sacrifice your pride and kill them; you who are passing men sullyly on the street, not speaking to them out of some silly spite, and yet knowing that it would fill you with shame and remorse if you heard that one of those men were dead to-morrow morning; you who are letting your neighbor starve till you hear that he is dying of starvation, or letting your friend's heart ache for a word of appreciation or sympathy which you mean to give some day<if you could know, and see, and feel all of a sudden that "the time is short," how it would break the spell! how you would go instantly, and do the thing which you might never have another chance to do!-Phillips Brooks. Responsibility For Restraints Do you wish more strength? But if you had more and misused it your condemnation would be greater than is your reproach now for work undone. Do you wish more money? But if you had more its rust would the more surely eat your flesh as fire, while the responsibility for its proper use would burden the soul. Do you crave a larger field of work and influence? But what if, when gained, the field were untilled and the influence that of an evil star? A young minister had few to hear his best sermons; he complained to John Brown, of Huddington, and this was the reply: "You have as many hearers every time you preach as you will care to answer for at the day of judgment."—Pacific Baptist. Nearer Heaven. Bless God for the wilderness; thank God for long nights; be thankful that you have been in the school of poverty and have undergone the searching and testing of much discipline. Take the right view of your trials. You are nearer Heaven for the graves you have dug, if you have accepted bereavements in the right spirit; you are wiser for the losses you have bravely borne, but you are nobler for all the sacrifices you have willingly completed.—Dr. Joseph Parker. Live Holiness. It is better to live a good life than to be talking about it, better to live holiness than to proclaim that one lives it. If the sun makes a noise we do not bear it. The brilliant electric lights blaze forth without crackling. The lighthouses flame out their rays over the perilous seas without the proclamation of bells or the firing of cannon. So the truest, purest and best lives simply let their light shine, as the blessed Saviour commanded. Xcel of Backbone. A contemporary suggests that one thing which Christians as well as others need at the present day is backbone. Not a backbone like a ramrod, that cannot yield or bend, but a well articulated, spinal column, which is strong enough to hold a man upright, and keep him from being crushed beneath the burdens that press upon him. These are days of easy going plerty; and men are too often rule by compromise rather than by conscience.

This remarkable woman, whose maiden name was Estes, was born in Lynn, Mass. February 9th, 1819, coming from a good old Quaker family. For some years she taught school, and became known as a woman of an alert Yours for Health Lydia & Bridham and investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympathetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature's own remedies—calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and experience many-of-them gained a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvest-fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the palms to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies expressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medicines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combination of the choiceest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses peculiar to the female sex, and Lyda E.Pinkham's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them. All this so far was done freely, without money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn. Its length and severity were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property sweep away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world. The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to The first turbine steamer on the Pacific will be the new steamer Maheho, of the Australian-Canadian line, sailing from Vancouver to Sydney, New South Wales, calling at Honolulu, Fiji and Brisbane. RUNNING SORES ON LIMBS. Little Girl's Oustinate Case of Eczema Mother Says: "Cuticura Remedies a Household Standby." "Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physi- ician's prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Fills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sore. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are a valuable household stand- by, living as we do twelve miles from a doctor, and where it costs from twenty to twenty-five dollars to come up on the mountain.

They argued that the medicine which was so good for their woman friends and neighbors was equally good for the women of the whole world. The Pinkhams had no money, and little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then came the question of selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medicine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others, and the demand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the family had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until today Lydia E. Pinkham and her vegetable Compound have become household words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture. Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward years ago, but not till she had provided means for, continuing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself. During her long and eventful experience she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful to preserve a record of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advice—and there were thousands—received careful study, and the details, including symptoms, treatment and results were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and represent a vast collaboration of information regarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be equaled in any library in the world. With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She was carefully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast correspondence. Tq. her hands naturally fell the direction of the work when its originator passed away. For nearly twenty-five years she has continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up. With woman assistants, some as capable as herself, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work, and probably from the office of no other person have so many women been advised how to regain health. Sick women, this advice is "Yours for Health" freely given if you only write to ask for it. Such is the history of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; made from simple roots and herbs; the one great medicine for women's ailments, and the fitting monument to the noble woman whose name it bears. ```markdown ``` Reliable Frick Engines.

Martyr Pie What girls, art student girls, would feed to their pigeons—so that he might imitate and thus win the good will of the flock—had become suddenly a tantalizing mystery to Burrick. He stopped his sketching and meditating, gazed out of the window, over the four-tin roofs, with their square orchard of chimney pots, to the opposite Window, in which sat the several girls > his ladies of the pigeons. A fortulius, architectural blessing had provided that the buildings in which Burrick and the girls had their separate studios were four stories high, while the intervening structures had ignobly and fortunately but three doors to their credit. Nannie untwisted herself from the model's chair when Burrick's crayon paused. Nannie did not merit a model's throne—her nose was out of killer, her hair was stringy, she had small eyes and large freckles. Burrick's experience with her had proved that her disposition was fairly good, however, and he could not understand how she had ever come to assault the policeman on her beat with a heavy skillet. The assault on the officer had merited for Nannie newspaper notoriety. Her picture had to be published and Burrick was detailed to make the sketch. Nannie had found posing for him such a pleasure during the five minutes of his stay in the kitchen that she had volunteered to appear at his studio every day, if he wished. She made a convenient model, and did not insist on the regular rates. She would, too, wash Burrick's steins on the morning after his chums visited him. She had a deal of information, and had always been eager to answer questions put by the youth. She might know the difef of pigeons. He put the mystery to her. "Nannie, what do you think those girls feed their pigeons?" He waved his crayon toward the open windows. "Cake and stuff," answered the girl, in her succinet fashion. Then, with a raucous note in her voice, she commented on the art girls. "They look like dead ones to me, sure. Do youuse know them?" "No such luck." "Youse couldn't get acquainted wid them as easy-as wid me, eh, Kid?" the girl asked qualtly. "Every one isn't as sociable as you, Nannle," Burrick put in discreetly. It wouldn't do for her to develop a contrary strain which might lead to expensive mutiny. "Let's get back to our picture." He sketched intently and in silence for some minutes. White pigeons flirting-by the window aroused him again to the interests over the roofs. "Say, Nannle, do you think we could grab one of those birds?" "Oh, gee, and kill 'em; that would be great! Wouldn't them girls be fierce, though!" Nannle was enthused with a joy that was inexplicable to innocent Burrick. In an instant she was off the model's chair, had gone to the cupboard and gathered a handful of doughnut crumbs. She scampered out of the window, suddenly, and when Burrick looked she was crouching behind a brick chimney. A snare of doughnut remnants was alluring a rash pigeon beneath the girl's hand. There was a flurry of wings, a desperate fanning of the air and Nannle scrambled into the room again, holding a beautiful pigeon in her hard little hands. She swung the bird by one leg. "Shall I wring its neck?" she asked calmly. "Lord! Stop—don't—you're hurting it." "Why not? It belongs to them girls there," replied. Nannie, superiorly, making a face across the canyon which intervened. She had that infallible logic which only comes to savage little girls. "Let me have it," crled Burrick, making a sudden grab. He held the trembling thing so tenderly that its fluttering ceased. He caressed the bird, and then slipped it into the huge pocket of his jacket, while he fumbled among his papers and uncovered, a calling card rather fresh. On it he scrawled, "How d'ye do!" "Give me a place of your hair ribbon, Nannie," he pleaded. The girl obeyed automatically. Having acquired the ribbon, Burrick mercilessly slashed off its cleanest edge, and by that thread attached the card to the bird's pink leg. Nannle, in a rage, nearly fell out of the window as she made a dash for the escaping homer. She atamped her foot and said a naughty word, a very naughty word for a seventeen-year-old little girl to say in the presence of a young man. She slammed the door fiercely as she went out. Without a thought, of the girls irritable departure Burrick gave his eyes to the flight or the pigeon. It wagged a direct way to the window where the other art students were at their work. Coverly peering across the abyss the young man saw the bird received in the arms of its patronesses. He knew that the engraved name upon his card would be effective. With great self-restraint Nannle did not refer to the pigeon nor the pigeon girls when next she came. Burrick was afraid she would not return at all, but she did appear the next morning, and after much coaxing and flattering agreed to pose. In a fortnight she was herself again. Then Fate grew careless. One morning a white pigeon flew into the window. From one of its legs buttered a red ribbon and a card. Nannie pounced on the bird and endeavored to read the message. A portion of it was clear enough. "Miss Vandane" was engraved decently on the pasteboard. But in a corner, in the sprawling confusion of the art nouveau of chirography was written, "Thursday evening—pinochle," "What does that stuff in the corner say?" asked the puzzled Nannle. "Thursday evening—pinochle." That means 'come around Thursday evening and we will feed you on pinochle,'" Burrick explained. "Qh," said Nannle. Then she lapsed into deep thought and later went home. While preparing for the pinchle function Burrick discovered unmistakable signs that his room had beenransacked during the afternoon. He found that all his belongings were intact, with the possible exception of some stationery and a doughnut. He put the offence at the door of some friend and was undisturbed. He forgot all about his trivial loss when he later learned from Miss Vandane that her pet plgeon was missing. The girl was inconsolable. The mystery was tragic. It was more tragic the next morning when in his mail Burrick received a card reading: "Miss Nannie, Friday evening—plgeon ple."—Arthur Price in San Francisco News Letter. THE FIGHTING GERMAN ARMY. Largest and Most Efficient Military Organization is the World. The German army of today is the largest and most efficient fighting organization that world has ever seen, and it has served as a model for the armies of most other countries, says the World's Work. The Austrian army has been organized on methods copied exactly from the German system. The Japanese army also took its methods in organization as well as in strategy and tactics from Germany and German officers. The Chinese army has now adopted German methods. Nearly all the smaller countries of Europe with aspirations to military efficiency have borrowed officers from the German army to instruct their troops. The Turkish army was so organized. In the recent war the largest forces met which had ever opposed one another in any conflict. The German army, however, could put in the field a perfectly equipped military force eight times larger than the victorious Japanese army which gained the battle of Mukden. It consists of more than four millions soldiers. But in addition to four million trained soldiers, Germany could enroll six million more men who, although not trained for service in the fighting line would nevertheless forma valuable reserve for the protection of lines of communication, and such duties. A very large number of these reserves have had at least some military training, and in case of necessity could also be employed in active service after a brief period of drill and military exercise. Thus the stupendous number of ten million able-bodied men could be inustered under the imperial banner of the German Empire; hence the statement that all Germany is an "armed camp." The German Emperor, who in times of peace shares the authority over the army with his fellow-German sovereigns, the Kings of Bavaria, Saxony, and Wurtemberg, becomes in time of war supreme and commander-in-chief, or "war lord" of the entire military forces of the Empire. The standing army of Germany consists approximately of 600,000 men. Nearly half of this number pass out of the standing army every year and are replaced by an equal number of fresh recruits. Germany thus produces year by year more than a quarter of a million trained soldiers. The first reserve consists approximately of 1,100,000 men, and the "Landwher" consists of 1,700,000 men, of whom 900,000 are in the first class, and 300,000 are in the second class. The organization of the army is as simple as it is efficient. The unit of organization in the infantry in the "section," consisting of 20 men under the command of a corporal. Two sections form the "semi-detachment," or 40 men under the command of a sergeant. Two semi-detachments form a "detachment" of 80 men under the command of a lieutenant. Three detachments form a company of 240 men under a captain. Four companies make a battalion of 960 men under a major. Three battalions form a regiment under a colonel, and two regiments form a brigade under the command of a major general. The "Army Corps," which is the largest military unit, consists of two or three divisions. Eugene Vallat, a well know United States engineer, with a long and favorable military record, died recently at Detroit. In 1864 he was appointed chief engineer by President Abraham Lincoln. MADE JAPANESE SHORT: Mr. Uchida Tells How Fashion of Sitting on Chairs Went Out. Custom is responsible for the comparative small stature of the Japanese race, in the opinion of Sadauzuchi Uchida, Japanese Consul in New York. Fashion ruled about three hundred years ago that in sitting upon a mat one's feet must be crossed beneath and behind the body instead of being crossed in front of the body, as had been the custom for untold generations. "Pictures of our forefathers of four or five hundred years ago," said Mr. Uchida, "show that they were considerably taller than my people are now, and invariably they are pictured as sitting with their legs crossed in front of them. This custom of crowding the legs beneath the body is, I think, more responsible for the smaller stature of the race than lack of sufficient nourishment or of food of a proper quality, as Baron Takaki said in Philadelphis. "Proof of the correctness of this theory is found in the remarkable increase in stature, of our young men, since we began to use seats in the schools instead of mattings. It is not at all unusual nowadays to see men twenty or twenty-five years old more than six feet tall, and the next generation will doubtless see their number greatly increased. "But I cannot see," he added, "where any great advantage is to be gained by having a race of six-footers. It is the brain that counts. A man six feet tall cannot alm a gun any better than one of four feet, for instance, and now that the day of fighting at close range is practically past, I cannot see where any advantage is to be gained, in military strength, at any rate. "That there is a strong determination on the part of the Japanese to increase theiler stature, is beyond question. By returning to the use of chairs, which were common a few hundred years ago, and even by reverting to the old custom of sitting with the legs crossed in front, the Japanese are consciously making every possible effort in that direction. My own little boy wrote today to a man who says he can make men grow taller. Various departments of the government, especially the Department of Education, are working together to this end, and within a comparatively few years there is hardly a doubt that several inches will be added to the average height of the Japanese. "It is not true, as I have seen stated, that men in different parts of my country are inclined to be short or tall. The condition there is the same as in this country. You will see tall men and short men together in all sections of the land, but the taller ones are generally the younger men, who were brought up in school on seats instead of on mattings." While Mr. Uchida is in accord with Baron Takaki in the belief that the Japanese are proving successful in their efforts to increase their stature, he strongly dissents from a statement by Baron Takaki that in a short time English will become practically the language of Japan. "Rather lef me believe," Mr. Uchida said, "that Japanese will take the place of English in Great Britain and the United States. The Japanese have no thought of abandoning their language; their national pride is too great, aslide from the fact that it would be next to impossible to change the language of a people of fifty millions. "It is quite probable, however, that the Roman alphabet will take the place of Japanese and Chinese characters in writing the Japanese language. I have seen nothing printed on the subject in this country, but a commission is trying to solve this very problem, and I expect a report in a year or so. It will require two generations before the Japanese alphabet can be dispensed with in every-day life and the change must be gradual, but that it will come is the opinion of most educated Japanese. "We have forty-eight characters in the Japanese alphabet and have to learn about four thousand Chinese characters, but we would have to use only twenty-four of the Roman letters, having no sound of 'l' or 'v' in Japanese." Mr. Uchida is a member of the language revision commission to which he referred. The Little End of It. There are many stories told of the queen of Italy's acts of kindness to her poor subjects. The following, however, shows that even the good intentions of queens are not always fulfilled. Her majesty recently noticed a pleasant faced little girl and spoke to her. There was a short conversation and the queen asked the child what she could do in the way of needlework. "I can knit stockings, signora," replied the girl. "Do you know who I am?" continued the queen. "Yes, signora; you are the queen." "Well, then, make me a pair of stockings and send them to the palace." A few days afterwards the articles arrived, and the queen, in return, for the gift, sent the child a beautiful pair of silk stockings, one filled with sweets, the other containing money. Next day the queen received a letter from her little friend, as follows; "Signora, your gift caused me many tears. My father took the money, my big brother took the sweets, and, as for the stockings, why, mother took them for herself." -Tit-Bits. Touched Upon in Discussion of Railroad Rate Bill. PROTEST BY DEMOCRATS Senator Foraker Precipitated Lively Racket by Coupling Jim. Crow Feature with Anti-Pass Amendment. Jim crow cars were discussed in the senate for several hours Monday in connection with the rate bill, with the final result that, with the aid of twelve republicans, a provision for "the same or equal accommodations" was stricken from an amendment introduced by Senator Foraker. The Ohio senator presented a strong anti-pass amendment, but coupled with it was this Jim crow car feature. Senator Bacon led the fight against it, insisting that its introduction was for the purpose of embarrassing southern senators in their action upon the pass question. He argued for a division of the Foraker amendment. Senator Money, Senator McLaurin and other southerners took virtually the same stand. Senator Bacon based his objection not so much on the metis of the proposition, for the reason that the laws of all the southern states which call for separation of the races upon trains also provide for equality of accommodations, but he argued that the effect of the incorporation of such a provision in the interstate law would be to act as an incentive to people seeking to stir up strife over the race question, a thing that should be avoided. Senator Culberson introduced a substitute for the Foraker anti-pass amendment even more stringent on its terms than that of the Ohio senator, but shorn of its reference to the Jim crow question, and this was adopted by a vote of 28 to 36. The twelve republican senators who joined with the democrats were Messars, Knox, LaFollette, Frye, Dolliver, Clapp, Burkett, Long, Warner, Nelson, Southerland, Nixon and Kittedge. The senate spent the major portion of its time on one amendment to the Hepburn railroad rate bill, but instead of accepting it, adopted a substitute. The discussion took a broad range covering first the pass question and then the race question in the southern states. The race issue was raised in connection with the clause relative to discriminations which was interpreted as referring to separate cars for the races. "Can it possibly be the design of the senator to incorporate this subject of discrimination with that of free passes in order to strengthen it?" asked Mr. Bacon, referring to the separate car system of the south for negroes. The provision, he said, touched upon a matter of vital importance to the south. "There could be no question raised of more vital importance to that section," he said. He insisted that the two matters should not be coupled together. "Does the senator object to equal accommodations for the same pay?" asked Mr. Foraker. "No," responded Mr. Bacon, "but I do object to giving the interstate commerce commission supervision over the matter." "And that I insist upon," declared Mr. Foraker. "In view of the fact that two-thirds of the senate are republican, I presume that he can make good this boast," said the Georgia senator with warmth. Mr. Foraker disavowed any purpose to boost, and Mr. Bacon proceeded with his argument against the coupling of the two propositions. Jury Will Probe Insurance. The special grand jury, which is to investigate insurance matters and especially political campaign contributions' was empaneled at New York Monday.

WHEN YOUR CLOCK STOPS Striking and your Watch goes on Strike; consult W. H. BROWN, Watchmaker and Jeweler, 605 West Broad, Corner Charles St THOSE WHO WANT. Parson Dozier, Fleeced Through Matrimonial Paper, Squeals. Miss Lucile Patterson and her niece, Miss Edna Kirk, both of Lewiston, Pa., are charged with fraudulent use of the mails. By means of a matrimonial paper, the government secret service agents say these women collected sums of money from men all over the United States who wanted wives. In the very peaceful community of Ashburn, Ga., the Rev. J. B. Dozier read that Mrs. Patterson was seeking a loving husband, and he forthwith wrote her. Several letters were exchanged, the clergyman proposed and was accepted. The bride-to-be wrote, asking for car fare from Lewiston to Georgia. The pastor sent $30, but the bride was not forthcoming. The Rev. Mr. Dozier grew nervous, and when his letters remained unanswered he appealed to the postal authorities at Washington. Other men who had sent money and received no bride as per agreement also wanted explanations. A large number of other victims to the tune of from $20 to. $35 each, have complained to the postal authorities of Mrs. Patterson's matrimonial negotiations. Miss Kirk is alleged to be an accomplice. American Interests on Island, Menaced by Uncontrollable, Moh. Guadaloupe, the French West Indian island, is under mob rule, according to a dispatch received at the state department Monday from G.

At the request of the state department, the navy department has ordered Commander Southernland of the fleet at San Domingo to send a warship to Guadaloupe to protect American interests. "HOLY ROLLER" GETS DESERTS. At Seattle, Wash, Monday, Frank E.
