THE ORPHANS' HOME EXCURSION. A young man with a small bucket and a mop, symbolically expressed the evident intention of every one aboard the steamer leaving on the excursion given by the Orphans' home last Monday night. As he slowly perambulated around, followed by a crowd of friends, all eyes turned toward him. Not a word was uttered, but everyone understood that he intended to "clean up," and, consequently, every individual of the massive crowd followed suit. The excursion was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The cool-breeze from the river and the delightful music made everyone feel as if he disliked to return to shore. The crowd was so large that the only available breathing space was on the upper deck. Those on the committee were kept very busy serving refreshments. The boat left about 9:30 and returned at 11:30 p. m. The excursion was a treat in every sense of the word. The public would feel greatly indebted to the committee of the Orphans' home if they would kindly give another excursion similar to this one. Space will not permit a mention of those on board. The only way out of the difficulty is to say EVERYONE was there. Parker's Lodge No. 5, Benevolent Order of Buffaloes, August 10, at Hoehn's grove. ON HER VISIT.

Way back in the year 1858 the Original Ozonized Ox Marrow was used by Colored people in the north, and is now used all over the country from Maine to Texas and Oregon to Florida. The continued use of the preparation for such a long period of time is a positive proof that it gives perfect satisfaction to all. It makes kinky or curly hair straight, soft and beautiful. Stops falling hair, cures dandruff and makes the hair grow. Never fails. Warranted harmless. Only 50 cents a bottle. Get it from your dealer or send us 50 cents and we will ship you a bottle express paid. Address Ozonized Ox Marrow Co., 76 Wabash avenue, Chicago, Ill. IN TIMES OF PEACE. LET US PREPARE FOR WAR. Now is the time for the republican party to prepare for the coming contest. The republicans ought to stop bickering, and settle down with the determination of fighting the democratic party to the bitter end. A determined leader is all that is required. Without him, an attempt would only end in a failure. Let the republicans select as a leader a man who has proven his ability beyond question.

Mrs. Tillie Ross and daughter are still enjoying the stay in the Windy City, Chicago. THE EXHIBITION CENTRE The Varied Industries Building is a magnificent structure on the outer perimeter of the main picture of the fair. It comes into the view of the beholder immediately after he has passed through the main entrance gate. The building presents a facade of 1,200 feet on the north and south and 525 feet on the east and west, giving 656,250 feet of exhibition space all on the ground floor. It is a columned design embodying a free treatment of the Ionic order. There is an increase in the size of the columns used at the southern main entrance, but in such style and taste as not to interfere with the general design. In the center of the north facade is a low dome flanked by towers about 200 feet high. These towering feature --- JOHN A. MALAN DR. D. P. ROBERTS has just returned from his vacation.

These two gentlemen are graduates from an art and drawing school—Mr. Sexton from Cleveland, O., in 1895; Mr. Mitchell from the art and drawing school in 1892 and S. A. Calman. These experienced gentlemen now have a study at 2605 Lawton avenue, and the collection of their drawings has excited the most skeptical mind which proves their wonderful genius. It would be well for any person to call at their studio that they may be convinced that they are truly two great artists, and their work will commend them to the lovers of oil paintings and art in every particular. Of course, most persons have their doubts as to the genuine work by them, but if you will visit their studio you can see them with brush in hand at work on some of the most difficult pictures. You will then be convinced for their profession. They invite you to call and see for yourself at 2605 Lawton avenue.

The size and grace of this building adds materially to the beauty and attractiveness of the group of buildings forming the main picture of the fair. Van Brunt & Howe, of Kansas City, are the architects. It was the first exposition building for whose erection a contract was let. It was built by the Rountree Construction Co. at a cost of about $650,000. It was practically completed on Dedication Day, April 30, 1903, and was occupied by the members of the national guard who picketed the grounds and participated in the military parade on that occasion. The building houses exhibits of manufacturing processes and of manufactures. Milan H. Hulbert, chief of the department of manufactures, has charge of the exhibits in the structure. --- REMEMER FANNIE LEE. FOR RENT. St. Louis Palladium. J. W. WHEELER, Editor and Manager, ST.

It is amazing that so many cardinals should have been hustling for a job like that. A church recently dedicated in St. Paul was erected at a cost of $7,000, raised by 10,000 contributions of seven cents each. Herr Bebel, the well-known socialist member of the German reichstag, has had $100,000 left him by an unknown political admirer.

Sixty-eight applicants for teachers' certificates in Wyandotte, Kan., failed to spell the word "cachinnation" correctly. But why should anyone want to spell the word cachinnation at all? On the plea that the currents are uncontrollable and messages are liable to be intercepted, the Australian telegraph authorities have pronounced against the Marconi wireless system. An electric motor for unloading bananas has been introduced in New Orleans which handles 15,000 bunches an hour, working at three hatches, and the fruit is protected from the slightest bruise.

We fear they will not be thoroughly undeceived when they reach St. Louis. Though more populous than this country, the Russian empire has but 800 newspapers. The number in this country is 22,000. Newspapers can be summarily squelched in Russia, but few Americans would prefer the czar's methods or the privilege of living under them. Many English doctors are now convinced that the eating of pigs' flesh in different forms is greatly responsible for the increase of cancer. They point out that it is common among the poor, whose chief meat is that of pigs while the disease, is extremely rare among the Jews. Japan's military ambition has crippled her financially. It is maintaining a standing army of 157,829 officers and men, or double that of the United States, and it holds in the reserves and in the militia 445,287 additional, making a grand total of 603,116 officers and men in active service and subject to call. Then, again, although its commerce is small, it has been striving to build up a powerful navy without apparently counting the cost of its creation and support. The growth of freight traffic in the United States is interesting to note. In 1893 the returns showed 93,588-000,000 of ton miles, or 15½ per cent more than 1891. In 1894 the freight traffic figured up 89,355,000 of ton miles; 1896, 95,328,000,000; 1899,123,667,000,000; 1900,141,599,000,000; 1901,147,777,000,000. From 1894 to 1897 the increase was 18½ per cent; from 1897 to 1901, 54½ percent. This growth in five years is without parallel in the history of commerce. No other country has as much traffic as the bare increase here. If the son of Peter, by grace of assassins' bullets king of Servia, is an imbecile—as the Russian specialist has pronounced him—it is a pretty prospect that opens before the people who took the dispensation of Providence into their own bloody hands and invoked wholesale murder to effect a change of dynasties. Before he took up the dripping crown, Peter talked of handing it over to this son and it is known that he cherishes for him that peculiar blind and doting affection which parents often indulge toward mentally-deficient children New Pontiff One of the Greatest Preachers of the Church. DATE OF CORONATION NOT SET Sarto Was Regarded as the Compromise Candidate and His Elevation to the Throne of St. Peter is Hailed as a Peace Step. Rome, Aug. 4.—The conclave, after being in session for four days, to-day elected Guiseppe Sarto, patriarch of Venice, as pope to succeed Leo XIII., and Sarto now regns at the vatican and over the Catholic world as Pius X. To-night all Rome is illuminated in his honor. His election and the assumption of his holy office were marked by a striking demonstration and impressive ceremonies at the vatican which ended only this evening. To-morrow the new pope, clad in his full pontifical robes and with all the ritualistic ceremony, will receive the members of the diplomatic corps, the cardinals and the pishops, who will then offer their official homage. Date of Coronation Not Settled. The date on which the coronation of Plus X. will take place has not yet been decided, but the impression prevaus that it will take place on August 9. Although the election was over at 11 o'clock this morning, and was announced to the world 45 minutes later by the appearance of the new pope at the window of St. Peters, the conclave was not formally dissolved until 5:30 o'clock this afternoon. The cardinals then returned to their various apartments in Rome, with the exception of Cardinals Rampolla and Orelegia, who temporarily retain their official suites in the vatican, and Cardinal Herrero Espinosa, who is too ill to be moved for several days. It was to the sick cardinal that the new pope paid his first visit after being formally proclaimed pontiff. The cardinals will remain in Rome for to-morrow's ceremonies, and, should the coronation be fixed for next Sunday, they are not likely to return to their homes until after that ceremony. Election Unanimous. The election of the patriarch of Venice this morning was unanimous. After Monday's ballot it was a foregone conclusion that he was the only candidate sufficiently acceptable to all to secure the necessary two-thirds that the laws of the church require. Members of Sacred College Satisfied. When the first ballot was taken it showed that the sacred college was divided into two groups, the stronger one for Rampolla and the lesser one for Serafino Vannutelli. The other votes were scattered, but included four for Sarto. On the subsequent ballots, while the two principal parties were losing ground, Sarto gradually gained, drawing strength from both ends and the middle until the ballot on Monday afternoon, when his vote had increased to 37, within six of the necessary two-thirds. Sarto Overcome With Emotion. When the result of this ballot was announced in the conclave Cardinal Sarto was to overcome with emotion and so touched by the unlooked-for confidence reposed in him that he could no longer control his feelings and to the surprise of all he broke down, declaring that such responsibility and honor were not for him and that he must refuse it, if offered. Tears rolled down his cheeks and he seemed firm in his determination to refuse the dignity. He was so palpably sincere that consternation reigned in the conclave, and the cardinals spent the who evening and much of the night in convincing him that his election was the will of providence and that he must accept. Almost Faints as Vote is Recorded. Several times he almost fainted and had to be revived by the use of salts. He seemed happy, but broken down, even after all the other candidates had retired, and, on the final ballot, he looked a statue of resignation. Cardinal Casetta, as scrutineer, was reading out the vote. When 42 votes had been recorded for the patriarch of Venice, the scrutineer arose and lifted his red zucchetto, saying: "We have elected a pontiff." But from many sides cardinals cried out: "Continue." As the vote approached 50, however, the cardinals, as of one accord, surrounded the new pontiff, and, according to tradition, demanded to know if he would accept the pontificate. Cardinal Sarto's lips trembled so that he could hardly articulate, but after a visible effort he said: "If this cup can not pass from me—" There he paused, but the cardinal around him insisted that it was no es- sory for him to answer, "Yes" or "No." Thereupon, he replied, firmly, "Yes." Catholic Church to be Congratulated. Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. 5.—"The Roman Catholic church is to be con- gratulated on the speedy election of a successor to the late Pope Leo XIII," said President Joseph P. Smith of the Mormon church Tuesday. "Cardinal Sarto has achieved enviable fame as a model bishop, and in his office as patriarch of Venice for ten years is re- puted to have given evidence of wisdom and piety. He is a man beloved by Catholics and one in favor by the Italian government, his election augurs well for peace and good will in Italy and in the Catholic world." ST. LOUIS SWEPT BY STORM One Killed and Several Injured, Many Buried in Wreckage. Workmen Employed at World's Fair Blown From High Buildings—A Number Fatally Injured. St. Louis, Aug. 6.—In the storm which swept St. Louis Wednesday afternoon one man at work on the World's fair buildings was killed and 30 others injured, eight seriously. All were blown from the buildings or fell with falling scaffold. Some of the injured can not live. The workman killed and those injured were at work on the World's fair buildings when the storm rose. As the strength of the wind increased they started to climb to the ground, but were carried from the scaffolds by the gale and thrown to earth. The chief loss was on the Agricultural building. Twenty-five men were at work on a scaffolding at the southeast corner of the building when it was blown down, carrying all the men with it. The injured and dying men were buried in the debris. One is known to have been killed and four others fatally injured. At least three men were blown from the scaffolding of the Machinery building. A number who were only slightly injured were unconscious for several minutes. All telephone and telegraph communication with the fair grounds was destroyed when the storm began. Theo, Richter, a florist at the Agricultural building, was the only man killed outright and no other deaths had been reported, although the physicians said several of the injured men could not live. Much damage was done in the city by destruction of shade trees breaking glass, etc. SEVERE STORM IN KANSAS. Terrific Storm Comes Near Putting Lawrence, Kas., Out of Business —Grent Loss of Property. Lawrence, Kas., Aug. 6.—The most terrific windstorm that has occurred here in years took place about eight o'clock Wednesday night, trees were leveled in all parts of town. Roofs were blown from buildings, signs from their places, the electric light and telephone plants put out of businesses and streets made impassable by debris. The storm lasted about half an hour, and was accompanied by thunder, lightning and very heavy rains, which drenched stocks where the roofs were torn off. There was no loss of life and no person was seriously injured. ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP TRAIN. Dynamite Used to Wreck a Northern Pacific Train—Engine Badly Damaged. Helena, Mont., Aug. 6.—An attempt was made one mile west of Bozeman to wreck a Northern Pacific train by dynamite. Engine 29, pulling westbound train 53, was wrecked by an explosion which broke the headlight, shattering the windows of the cab and otherwise damaged the locomotive. Engineer Dean was not injured. The perpetrator of the outrage is supposed to be the same person who tried to blow up a Northern Pacific bridge over the Yellowstone river at Livingston Sunday. SENSATIONAL KIDNAPING. Mother Armed With Revolver Takes Desperate Needs to Recover Her Child. Cincinnati, Aug. 6—A sensational kidnapping by a mother armed with a revolver took place in Newport, Ky., Wednesday. Mrs. Arville Turner, who is living separately from her husband, accompanied by a woman, went to the home of Mrs. Taylor in Newport, and at the point of a revolver demanded admittance, to get her child, six years old. Mrs. Taylor, frightened, ran up stairs. Mrs. Turner broke open the screen door, followed up stairs and still brandishing the revolver, secured the child, and, rushing to the street, escaped in a wagon. WAR SERVICE NECESSARY. President Refuses Promotion On the Ground that Applicants Must Have Civil War Service. Washington, Aug. 6.—Col. Henry Lippincott, of the medical department, who was among those designated to be appointed a brigadier general and placed on the retired list, will not be promoted. Under the direction of the president those officers to be promoted must have a civil war service of one year, and it was decided that Col. Lippincott did not come within that provision. The matter was called to the attention of the war department and referred to the president, who gave directions to have Col. Lippincott's name taken from the list. Oldest Relic of Its Kind. New York, Aug. 5.—A bronze tablet, which is believed to be the oldest relic of its kind in the world, has been purchased in Paris by the Metropolitan museum. The relic, which is in a state of excellent preservation, is believed to date from about 700 B. C. Suicide of a Trained Nurse. New York, Aug. 6.—A bronze tablet, years old, student at a training school for nurses here, committed suicide because of the alleged objection of her parents to a contemplated appearance on the stage AMERICANS ENJOY GREAT PRIVILEGE The Honor of Being the First Pilgrims Received by Pius X. CARDINAL GIBBONS' INFLUENCE American Pilgrims Receive Special Benediction and Apostolic Blessing-leave the Vatican De- Rome, Aug. 5.—The spirit of "The king is dead, long live the king," which has been repeated through all the long ages upon a change of sovereigns, was the dominant note to-day at the vatican among those gathered there, not to acknowledge the earthly sovereign, but to accept without reserve Pope Pius X. as their spiritual king. Not only had America enjoyed the honor of first announcing the accession of the present pontiff to the chair of St. Peters, but to-day Americans enjoyed the far greater privilege and honor of being the first among those of many other countries who were to follow to convey to his holiness the homage of the nations. The American pilgrimage, conducted by John J. McGrane, of New York, and Father Lynch, of Niagara university of Buffalo, N. Y., which left the United States for its pious journey to Rome to receive the blessing of Leo XIII., arrived while the conclave was sitting. Its members lingered until the nevertobe forgotten moment yesterday when the election of the new pope was announced and then decided reluctantly to leave to-day. Gibbons Arranges Reception. Gibbons Arranges Reception. Cardinal Gibbons had been asked yesterday to try to arrange for the reception of the Americans and had promised to do his best, at the same time explaining how unprecedented it would be for a pope, the day after his election, to receive a foreign pilgrimage, when there were scores of high dignitaries who had not yet been admitted, including, even the diplomatic body. Nevertheless he used his influence with the happiest result and secured the consent of the pope to receive his fellow countrymen. They trooped up the high stairway, 100 strong, and on through the corridors, bending their heads to pass through the openings in the walls which had been erected for the conclave. Bricks were still lying about on the flagstone. Through the beautiful loggia of Raphael they passed to the unique hall of inscriptions, where a halt was called. After a considerable wait there was a murmured "Hush, hush," and two Swiss guards entered from a corridor. Before the pilgrims could quite realize it, the pope stood among them. He walked slowly, but with the firmness of a young man, down the long kneeling line, accompanied by Cardinal Gibbons and Mgr. Kennedy, and gave to each of the pilgrims as he passed his hand to be kissed. He spoke a few words to almost every one. Plus X. was arrayed completely in white, without a gleam of color except that which sparkled from the huge emerald on his finger. Cardinal Gibbons was on his right in red robes and Mgr. Kennedy on his left in purple. Pope Plus X. appeared to be very much interested when Father Lynch presented to him a box containing a white zucchetto, saying: "We would be extremely gratified if your holiness would accept this gift in exchange for the one you wear." "I will cheerfully do so," the pope replied. Pilgrims' Offerings Accepted. Thereupon Mgr. Bisleti liftea the zucchetto which the pope wore from his head and replaced it with the one which had been presented by Father Lynch. Mr. McGrane handed to Plus X. the offerings which the pilgrims had hastily put together after luncheon today. The pope spoke specially to the members of the Lante family, of Philadelphia; Rev. John E. Burke, pastor of the church of St. Benedict, the Moor of New York, and Father Wall, who expressly represented Archbishop Farley, and to Rev. James Robert Matthes, of Washington. To Father Burke he gave a special benediction for the colored people. Occasionally as the pope passed along he laid his hand upon the head of one of the pilgrims. When Plus reached the persons who waved two flags yesterday at St. Peters, who were carrying them to-day, he exclaimed: "Cara, cara, America, dear America—44 stars, eh?" When he reached the last person in the line he turned and while all the pilgrims knelt he gave the apostolic blessing, ending with the words: "I recommend myself to your pious prayers." Cardinal Gibbons, upon leaving the vatican, said that he had been delighted to present the American pilgrimage to the new pope under such happy circumstances. Renounces His Allegiance. Chicago, Aug. 6—John Alexander Dowie, general overseer of the Christian Catholic church, was made a citizen of the United States, Wednesday, upon renouncing in the superior court his allegiance to the sovereign of Great Britain and Ireland. No Attempt on Kings' Life. Madrid, Aug. 6—Because of the rumor that an attempt had been made on the life of King Alfonso the government has issued a statement officially contradicting the report and further denying that the king is indisposed. An enthusiastic praise service was held in the First Baptist church in Macon, at which the mortgage indebtedness of $3,000 that has existed for about three years was announced discharged and the document was burned at the conclusion of the service. Secretary Ellis, of the Missouri state board of agriculture, predicts that the state's corn crop will be 125,000,000 bushels short of last year. Much of the early corn on flat land has tasseled very low. On August 1, 1902, the condition of corn in the state was 101, while the year it was but 72. Dewey Myers, the five-year-old son of J. M. Myers, of Dexter, has lived for a week with a bullet wound through his brain and his condition has improved each day since the wound was made. The wound is the result of an accident from a carelessly handled pistol, the ball entering the right eye and coming out the crown of the head. His physician thinks he will recover. It is claimed for a daughter that was recently born to Mr. and Mrs. Bert Dummitt, of near Monett, that it has more living relatives than any other child in the United States. It has, among other kin, 2 grandmothers, 2 grandfathers, 3 great-grandmothers, 2 great-grandfathers, 15 great-great aunts, 9 great-great uncles, 14 great uncles, 10 great aunts, 8 uncles and 8 aunts. Benjamin Wright, of Richland, Ore., and his brother, Daniel Wright, of Trenton, are visiting together at Trenton after a separation of 50 years. Benjamin Wright started for California in 1852. Near St. Joseph he and his team and freight were captured by Indians. He escaped a few days later and went on west empty-handed. This is the first time since then that he has been in Missouri. He is 77 years old. An old bachelor living about six miles from Richmond was a large beneficiary of the flood. He had lived for several years in a little old shanty. The flood was washed it away, but left in its place a new, well-built, six-room house, which is well furnished throughout. The bachelor tried to find out where it came from. Having failed, he has decided to take what the Lord provides, and is living very comfortably in it, and thinking of making an addition to his household. It is told on what seems to be reliable authority that Matt W. Hall, of Saline county, will become a candidate for the second place on the democratic ticket, making three gentlemen who seek that post—Senator Tom L. Rubey, of La Plata, who succeeds to it as president pro tem. of the senate since the resignation of John A. Lee; Judge William E. Fowler, of Excelsior Springs and Mr. Hall. Mr. Hall represented his county in the legislature four terms. At present he is going over the state working up interest in county exhibits at the world's fair. John Summerville and Fred Winters, while returning to their homes at night, were shot from ambush, Summerville receiving wounds in the shoulder and Winters being injured by a bullet which struck him in the forehead. The scene of the shooting was near the residence of John Karns, four miles northwest of Jasper. The men were riding in a wagon when the shots were fired. An investigation made by Prosecutor Attorney Martin resulted in the arrest of John Karns and his two sons, Frank and George, upon a charge of felonious assault. Col. H. H. Gregg, superintendent of mines and metallurgy of the Missouri World's Fair commission, has just returned to St. Louis from an extended trip through the southeast Missouri mining district, looking after the state exhibit interests. Col. Gregg is much enthused with the assurance of cooperation received in the lead and iron belt. "Missourians do not realize," said Col. Gregg, "the greatness of the southeast Missouri mining resources and the immense strides that section of the state is making in their development. Only a few years ago that portion of the country between Bonne Terre and Doe Run was a literal wilderness. To-day it is inhabited by 18,000 people, all of whom are engaged in mining." Three Macon county farmers have within the last few days received drafts from some man in Ohio who has been having trouble with his conscience. Judge Gran Goodson, of New Cambria, has got $25, J. W. Gilleland, of La Crosse, $25 and a merchant at New Cambria $25. Each draft was accompanied by a letter stating that the sender some years before had stolen some money from the recipient, the exact amount of which he had forgotten, and that he wanted to return it. All the letters were in the same hand. Judge Goodson thinks it came from a man who worked for him in harvest in the '80s, and whom he suspected then of taking some money from his vest as it hung on a fence. The other two men had no idea they had been robbed. Neither, however, has refused to accept the money. In 19 counties in Missouri the pay of public school teachers of both sexes is less than $30 a month and in 41 counties the pay of women teachers is below that figure. One county pays men teachers $28.80 and women $23.90 a month. Another county pays men $27.98 and women $23.74 a month. At the recent session the Pennsylvania legislature passed a law that no teacher in the public schools should receive less than $35 a month, and the effect is an increase in the salaries of 1,200 teachers. A similar law in Missouri would result in an increase in more than half the 114 counties. Efforts to Keep Them From Being Introduced. TELEGRAPH MEN OBEY LAW Grand Jury Investigating Attempt to Secure Money From Brewers—John A. Lee Breaks Down and Weeps in Jury Room. Jefferson City, Mo., Aug. 7.—At two o'clock Thursday afternoon Superintendent Paine of the Postal Telegraph Co. and Superintendent Frankel of the Western Union Co. appeared before Judge Hazell in response to the order commanding them to produce the telegrams passing between Lee and Kelly and Kelly and other members of the legislature between February 1 and July 31, 1903. Mr. Paine stated that he was unable to find any telegrams of the nature requested. He was thereupon excused by the court. Telegrams in Grand Jury's Hands. Superintendent Frankel, through Attorney Smith, stated to the court that he had several telegrams, but did not think it proper for them to be used by the grand jury. If the court made a specific order, however, he would comply with it. Judge Hazell selected eight messages which he ordered Superintendent Frankel to submit to the jury. Mr. Frankel accepted the court's ruling and proceeded at once to the jury room. Investigating Beer Compromise Bill. The grand jury is investigating a report that an attempt was made to secure money from brewers to effect the passage of the beer compromise bill by which brewers were released from paying fines for violation of the beer inspection law on the condition that they pay a stipulated sum into the state treasury and obey the law in the future. Tony Stuever, C. J. Lemp and Philip Stock, St. Louis brewers, were before the grand jury in the afternoon, and are supposed to have given testimony on the matter. Contract Labor in Penitentiary. J. W. Hensley, representative from Gasconade county, was also a witness. He was a member of the committee appointed to investigate the contract labor system at the penitentiary, and it is supposed he was questioned regarding attempts to hold up contractors at the prison. Hensley resigned from the committee, claiming that he was not permitted to see evidence taken by the body. Whitecotton Before Grand Jury. Speaker Whitecotton, who made charges on the floor of the house that boodle was used in the text book legislation, and which started the boodle investigation, appeared before the grand jury. Lee Breaks Down and Weeps. Former Lieut-Gov. John A. Lee was again a witness. It is believed he identified the Lee-Kelly telegrams and told of the transactions to which they related. He broke down while in the jury room, and wept, and it was some time before he could resume composure and continue his testimony. OBJECTED TO DEMOCRATS. Defense in the Caleb Powers Trail Claim Discrimination in Selec- tion of Jury Was Made. Georgetown, Ky., Aug. 7.—In the trial of former Secretary of State Caleb Powers for complicity in the Goebel murder Judge Robbins, Thursday, over- ruled a motion of the defense, chal- lenging the jury panel which, Wednesday, was provisionally accepted. An affidavit alleged that of the 95 jurors only two were republicans and that deputies, directed by several democ- ratic politicians, discriminated in the selection. The grounds for overruling the motion was that "political affiliation" is not a disqualification for jury service- at-law. On peremptory challenge the defense excused seven of the prospective veniremen. The court was then engaged in filling their places. FEMALE FORGER ARRESTED. Confesses to Raising Postal Order- Number of States Victimized by Her Operations. Philadelphia, Aug. 7.—Annie E. Shap- ley, who was arrested in New York on Tuesday and brought here to answer the charge of raising United States postal orders, Thursday confessed that her operations had been carried on since May 25 and that the New York city, Trenton, Newark, Yonkers, Brook- lyn, New Rochelle and other post offices in New oYrk, New Jersey and Pennsylvania had been victimized by the raising of postal orders. The postal inspectors say Mrs. Shapley is one of the clearest women forgers in the country. Santa Fe Passenger Train Wrecked Kansas City, Aug. 7—Santa Fe passenger train No. 202, known as the Southern Kansas, due in this city at 6:30, collided with a Santa Fe freight. Thursday night, at Elizabeth, Kasa three miles this side of Olathe, as a result of which five persons were injured. The passenger train was a half-hour late and running at the rate of 50 miles an hour when the collision occurred. The freight train was trying to make a siding to allow the passenger to pass, but it was too long to clear the main track. St. Louis Palladium. ONE I KNEW. He never tried to preach or set you right; He thought all others better far than be; And so he showed by life, instead of words, The wondrous beauty of humility. He did not worry to reform the world. He know God's ways, though slow, were always sure; He only struggled to reform himself By steadfastness and patience to endure. He would not prate about the want of love. Nor yet the lack of faith, in human mind; He never spoke about these things at all, Only he never failed in being kind. One single passion held his heart in sway; An earnest craving for the pure and true. And though at times God's face felt far away— His earth-dimmed eyes so deeply yearned to view— Still in the dark as in the light, he smiled! The KIDNAPPED MILLIONAIRES A Tale of Wall Street and the Tropics A By FREDERICK U. ADAMS Copyright, 1902, by Lothrop Publishing Company. All rights reserved. CHAPTER XV.—CONTINUED. A thorough search revealed none. They then proceeded to make a careful study of the map, but it threw no light on their position on the broad surface of the globe. All that the map showed was the contour of the bay, the course of the brook to the reservoir, and a little to the west of it, also the location of the bungalow and the small island in the bay. There was no scale, and the waters to the east were designated by no name. "For all that this map shows we may be on the moon," said Mr. Kent. "Al that we know is that we are alive and well, and somewhere in the tropics. We may be east or west or north or south of Cuba. For all I know we may be off South America." "Well, we can consider this later," and Mr. Morton. "Let's get down business. It would not be right for good Americans to do anything about an organization, and I move Mr. John M. Rockwell be madeerman, and that Mr. Sidney Hampton act as secretary. All in favor of the motion say 'aye!'" There was a chorus of "ayes," in which Mr. Rockwell joined with a laugh. "Gentlemen," said Mr. Rockwell, "I have presided at many meetings, and with varied success, but this is 1. Morton's Bay 2. Island 3. Bungalow 4. Pence's Reef 5. Flagstaff 6. Reservoir 7. Park 8. Underground Brook 9. Low Hills 10. High Range of Hills 11. Brook 12. Denise Thicket 13. Rained City 14. Gateway to Bay 15. Sea Cliff MAP OF "SOCIAL ISLAND," (or Hestoria.) the most interesting and perhaps the most important in my experience. I will make a formal speech when we are out of the woods; or more properly perhaps, out of the ocean. What is the pleasure of the meeting? "In my opinion, Mr. President," said Mr. Morton, "our first duty is to change the name of the island. Its present; name is distasteful to me. I move you sir, that in view of the character of the men who now inhabit it, that we call it 'Social Island.'" The motion was carried unanimously, said applause in which a flock of perrots and cockatoos joined. Saw, Mr. President," continued Mr. Morton, "it occurs to me that there are three divisions of work that should engage our attention. The first is our sustenance during the time we are compelled to remain on this island. It can be classed under the broad head of housekeeping. The second is a thorough exploration of the island, and as careful an estimate of our whereabouts as possible. The third is to plan and provide means of escape. I move that the president appoint committees to su- pervise and be held responsible for the performance of these duties." The motion being carried, Mr. Rockwell pondered a few moments and said: "I am of the opinion that all members of the Social Island Colony should serve on the committee on housekeeping. If the work is shared by all, the task will be light, but if it devolves on one or two men it will be mere drudgery. I am going to appoint Mr. L. Sylvester Vincent as general superintendent of the Social Island bungalow, and of all the lands and game preserves thereunto appertaining. He will have full authority to call on the services of any member not employed at the time on other duties, and in case of dispute the president will render a decision. The president will also be subject to Mr. Vincent's authority in the matter of household duties. It will be accepted as unwritten law that each member must keep his own room in order. Mr. Vincent, will you accept this commission?" "Yes, sir-or Mr. President, rather," said Mr. L. Sylvester Vincent. He was delighted with the title of general superintendent and by the extent of his authority. "I shall appoint 'Mr. Hammond chairman of the committee on exploration,' said Mr. Rockwell. "He will be assisted by Messrs. Kent and Pence, both of whom are great explorers." "I don't want to explore," protested Mr. Pence. "I would prefer to go on some other committee." "The chair will accept no resignations," said Mr. Rockwell, and he hammered on the table with a ruler to indicate that the question was settled. "Mr. Andrus Carmody will be chairman of the committee on escape; Mr. Morton and that Haven will serve with him on that committee. The president volunteers his services on any and all these committees. Is there any other business before the meeting? If not we stand adjourned, subject to call at any time. Adjourned." "That is the way to do business," said Mr. Morton. "Each man knows his duty and can go about it." Mr. Vincent walked out into the kitchen and in a few minutes re- "MAKE HIM GO AWAY," PLEADED MR. PENCE. turned. He stood in the open door and looked over the gentlemen who were variously engaged. Mr. Pence had sunk back in his chair and was examining a book which Sidney left on the table. He lifted his eyes over his steel-rimmed glasses and gazed languidly at Mr. Vincent. "You can come to the kitchen, Mr. Pence," said Vincent, "and pare the potatoes for luncheon." "What's that?" exclaimed the astounded millionaire. "Pare potatoes! Me pare potatoes? Absurd!" There was a general roar of laughter. "I am on another committee!" exclaimed Mr. Pence, "the committee on exploration." "You now seem to be on the escape committee!" said Mr. Kent. "Take him along, Vincent." Mr. Pence looked at Mr. Rockwell appealingly. "I have nothing to do with it." Mr. Rockwell said, "unless Mr. Hammond urgently needs and demands your services on the exploration committee. If not, you will have to obey Mr. Vincent. He is general superintendent, and you voted for him and his authority." Sidney said that he did not need Mr. Pence at present. That gentleman arose, and with a woeful expression followed Vincent to the kitchen. A few minutes later he donned a white apron and entered on his new duty. He proved an adept, and Mr. Kent looked in at a side door and regarded his work with approval. "He is the best man you could select," said Mr. Kent, addressing the general superintendent, who was critically watching Mr. Simon Pence. "He can cut the thinnest paring you ever saw. The potato will weigh more when he gets through with it than it did when he began. He is a wonder. You ought to see him pare a dividend." "Make him go 'way," pleaded Mr. Pence. But Mr. Kent had disappeared. Mr. Vincent went in search of more help. He found Mr. Haven. "I shall have to ask you to chop some wood." he said. "Certainly," said Mr. Haven, with surprising alacrity. "Where is the ax? I was a dandy at chopping wood when a boy. How long do you want it?" In a few minutes the sugar magnate was hard at work, and at the end of three hours he had accumulated a goodly pile of wood and a ravenous appetite. During the day Vincent went about his duties in a most systematic manner. He took each member of the colony in charge, and showed them the mysteries of the storeroom and kitchen, and the exact location of all foods and cooking utensils. After dinner Mr. Rockwell was detailed to wash dishes and Mr. Kent to wipe them. It was worth a journey around the world to watch the great capitalist scrape a frying pan or a kettle, and to see the deftness with which the famous speculator handled a towel on the knives and forks. He was giving a pan a finishing touch when it dropped to the floor with a crash. "Tin plate seems to be going down," observed Mr. Haven, who was watching Mr. Kent with much interest. "Yes," drawled Mr. Kent, "what do you suppose sugar is doing in New York while you are away? I'll bet it is not going up." It began to rain during the forenoon, and Sidney was compelled to postpone an expedition he had planned, in which he proposed to follow the brook to its source, which he calculated would be the highest point of land on the island. CHAPTER XVI AN EXPLORATION Thursday was a perfect day after the storm. The air was fresh and cool from the ocean. Sidney was up at an early hour and took his observation of the time of the sunrise. It was Mr. Kent's turn to get breakfast, and he did himself credit. In the meantime Sidney had been preparing for the exploration of the island. He looked over the stock of guns and selected a rifle and a shot gun. He found these weapons in fairly good order, but oiled and cleaned them carefully, and tested both several times. It was about eight o'clock when Sidney and Mr. Kent disappeared in the thicket through which the brook took its course. Mr. Pence had been detailed to explore the north shore of the lake, and from the expression of his face he did not relish the task. He refused to take a gun, and armed with a heavy club set out on what he regarded a most dangerous expedition. It was low tide, and the beach was clear of water to the frowning rocks which formed the gateway to "Morton's Bay." For the first quarter of an hour Sidney and Mr. Kent found it fairly easy to follow the course of the brook. A trail had been cut along the winding bank the preceding year, but such is the virility of tropical vegetation that already it was well-nigh closed. On both sides was a jungle so dense as to be impenetrable. At the end of an hour's hard work they came to a cleared space and found where the dam had been built across a gorge between two rocks. The dam was about 12 feet in height. Above was the reservoir; a lake covering perhaps 20 acres of ground, from which the timber had been denuded. The character of the forest around this artificial lake was far different from that through which they had passed. It was more open. Instead of the jungle of chaparral, Spanish bayonets, and other forms of thorny plants, brush and tree, the plateau on which they now stood was a noble tropical forest—a veritable park with glades, rocks, picturesque ravines and gentle hills. "This is more like it," said Sidney as they took a seat on a rock beneath the spreading branches of a magnolia tree. "If the rest of the island is like this our task is an easy and pleasant one." Their view was one to entrance a poet. They were at the edge of a glade covering about 40 acres. Here and there a rock showed above the waving grass and flowers, but otherwise the vista was unbroken. "This is a superb spot," said Sidney. "Did you ever see such flowers and trees? How tame the products of conservatories seem compared with nature's work! There is a bunch of roses which would be worth $100 in New York. What kind of a tree is that?" Sidney pointed to a medium-sized tree about 15 feet in height, with broad spreading leaves. "Why, it's a banana tree," he exclaimed in great delight. "And what is more, it is loaded with bananas." A huge bunch of yellow and yellow-black bananas hung from the point where the broad leaves spread like a stalk of celery. Sidney took out his knife and cut several from the bunch. "You are sure these are bananas, are you?" asked Mr. Kent. "Don't poison yourself." "They certainly are," said Sidney, "and they are delicious. These are the first ripe bananas I have ever tasted. The stuff we get in New York is no more like this than potatoes are like pears. They pick them green, months before they are ripe, and ship them north to ripen in basements or in tenement houses. Did you ever taste anything so delicious?" "They are fine," said Mr. Kent. "Cut some more." They found scores of banana trees with bunches of fruit in various stages of development. They knew that life can be supported for an indefinite period from the banana tree alone, and while they had no intention of remaining on the island, the thought was a comforting one. They returned to the brook and followed it in a northwesterly direction. For some time they had heard the sound of falling water, and soon circled a ledge of rock and had a full view of a beautiful cascade. The brook leaped 80 feet; not from the top of a precipice, but from a point fully 40 feet below the top. It came welling from a cavern and fell unbroken into a pool below. There could be no mistake as to this. On the crest of the rocks there were trailing vines and ivy directly above the tunnel from which poured the waterfall. "There is the end of our brook," said Sidney as he studied the view before him. "I remember now that underground rivers and brooks are common in these southern latitudes. There are lots of them in Mexico and especially in Yucatan. I wonder if I can scale those rocks?" "I know that I cannot," said Mr. Kent as he sat down on a boulder. "Go ahead and I will stay here and watch you." It was a hard climb, but Sidney made it. He stood at last directly over the waterfall. Withcut stopping to admire the view spread out before him, he plunged into the forest which sloped upward. It grew thicker as he advanced. Suddenly he came to a solid mass of trees and brush, woven into a thicket so dense that no animal larger than a rabbit could penetrate it for a yard. Sidney walked along the edge of this jungle for half a mile or more, but his search for an opening was stopped by the fact that the vegetable barrier finally extended to the edge of the cliff. The explorer then selected a tall logwood tree, and after a hard struggle "shinned" up to the lower branches and climbed nearly to the top. From this elevation he had a fair view of this part of the jungle, but could only guess at its extent. He found that it continued unbroken to the top of a hill fully a mile away, and beyond he made out the outlines of other and higher hills, probably four or five miles away. Sidney Hammond was not unfamiliar with such jungles, having encountered them in the mountains of New Mexico, but those northern thickets were not to be compared to the tropical mass which now confronted him. He sat in the branches of the tree for some time. Suddenly he realized it was hot, and at the same moment the sound of two shots came from the valley. He was fearful that his companion was in danger. Mr. Kent had selected the shotgun, hoping to shoot grouse or quail. These birds had been seen in abundance, but it had been decided to bag none until the time came to start for camp. In a few minutes Sidney was at the bottom of the cliff. Mr. Kent was not to be seen. Sidney ran to where he had left the millionaire speculator. He then yelled at the top of his voice. An answering call came from a ravine to the left. Sidney ran in that direction. Mr. Kent was standing under a tree, with the shotgun half raised. He was looking intently at a jagged pile of rocks a short distance away. At his feet was a dead deer. "Hurry up!" said Mr. Kent as Sidney approached. "Do you see that fellow on that rock over there? See him?" [To Be Continued.] WHO EXECUTED CHARLES I.? The Name of Richard Brandon Is Most Widely Connected With the Deed. In the burial register of Whitechapel, under the year 1649, is the following entry, says Harper's Magazine: "June 21st. Richard Brandon, a man out of Rosemary Lane. This Brandon is held to be the man who beheaded Charles the First." A less distinguished candidate for the infamy was one William Howlett, actually condemned to death after the restoration for a part he never played, and only saved from the gallows by the urgent efforts of a few citizens who swore that Brandon did the deed. Brandon was not available for retribution. He had died in his bed six months after Charles was beheaded and had been hurried ignominiously into his grave in Whitechapel church yard. As public executioner of London, he could hardly escape his destiny; but it is said that remorse and horror shortened his days. In his supposed "confession," a tract widely circulated at the time, he claims that he was "fetched out of bed by a troop of horse," and carried against his will to the scaffold. Also that he was paid £30, all in half-crowns, for the work, and had "an orange stuck full of cloves, and a handkerchief out of the king's pocket." The orange he sold for ten shillings in Rosemary Lane. Cnt Both Ways. "I want my hair cut, and no talk," said a 16-stone man, with an I-owned thearth air, as he walked into a Swindon barber's shop and sat down. "The—" commenced the man in the apron. "No talk, I tell you!" shouted the heavy man. "Just a plain hair cut. I've read all the papers, and don't want any news. Start right away, now." The man in the apron obeyed. The man in the apron obeyed. When he had finished, the man who knew everything rosa from the chair and surveyed himself in the glass. "Great Scott!" he exclaimed. "It's really true, then? You barbers can't do your work properly unless you talk." "I don't know," said the man in the apron quietly. "You must ask the barber. He'll be in presently. I'm the glazier from next door."—London Answers. The Modern Equivalent: Blueblood—Have you any armor in your hall? Newrich—No; but I have three football suits—Puck. Willing to Carry.

We May Cover Up for a Time, Defects of Character But Time Exposes Such Deceptions. In the palmy days of Rome many of its principal citizens built themselves marble palaces. Once in awhile there would be a flaw in the marble, or a bungling workman would chip off too large a piece, and then, if he or the contractor was dishonest, the hole would be filled in with a kind of cement, known as wax, colored in imitation of the marble. For a time it was impossible, except upon the closest inspection, to detect the fraud, but after awhile, on account of the action of the atmosphere and the rain, the wax would become discolored, thus revealing the imposition. When the practice became known the builders put into their contracts the stipulation that the work should be done sine cera—without wax—and from the phrase comes our word sincere. Build without wax—be sincere, which is merely another way of saying, Be honest. Do not ever attempt to cover up defects by any deception. In the first place, highly resolve that there shall be no defects. If, through any blunder of yours, the work has been marred, says Wellspring, make it good if you can, even though it be at considerable cost to yourself. In the second place, if you cannot remedy the matter, frankly point out the imperfection and take the consequences, whatever they may be. No carpenter can afford to put a rotten scantling in a building, even though in the progress of the work it will be hidden. For he is building a character, and that rotten scantling becomes a part of his character. The more rotten scantlings he puts into his houses the more he puts into his character, so that in time it is sure to break down altogether. That is what we all are doing—building character; and that should be done sine cera—without wax. Into that we want to insert nothing but the best material, well put together, polished in true workmanlike manner, carrying out as well as we can our great Architect's instructions. If at any time we have spolled the material or have put in poor stuff—"wood, hay, stubble"—let us not attempt to conceal it by a deceptive exterior, but cast it out, replacing it with that which is both lovely and durable—"gold, silver, costly stones." Paul, who was himself a "master builder," warns us that "Each man's work shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is" (1 Cor. 3:13). It may possible for awhile to cover up defects of character, but in time the wax will be so discolored that the faults cannot be hidden; or some fiery trial will melt it so that the hideousness underneath will come into view. Build without wax—sincerely, openly, carefully, strongly. The Perfect Pattern. The Perfect Pattern. Rev. N. Dwight Hillis, D. D., speaking of the Perfect Pattern, as embodied in Christ, says: "Of old, a young apprentice picked up the chips of glass dropped by the master who was completing an oriental window for the cathedral. Bringing those chips together so as to repeat the face of a lustrous angel who had appeared to him in a vision of the night, the boy constructed from the fragments one of the priceless gems of art. And if thy duties seem humble, thy hours fragments, thy tasks broken and obscure, behold, the Christ can transform these fragments into a dream of spiritual beauty. All inspirations toward knowledge, all stimulants toward supremacy of mind, have their supreme excellence in that Divine One who is higher than earth's noblest spirits, wiser than earth's most gifted teachers, purer than earth's whitest martyrs." WHERE IS YOUR YESTERDAY? The Glory of Life Comes Not from What We Do or Know, But What We Are. Was the record of that yesterday one you could fold away in your memory with a feeling of satisfaction, knowing that the angel who stopped with you through its short hours went home to the Father and repeated with joy your efforts to do some good? Your courage in the face of pain, your steadfastness when temptation assailed you, and the joy was mingled with sympathy at the remembrance of the crucifixion of self that had to be for another's happiness. Did you do good by your sweetness and cheerfulness, bringing not only a little sunshine, but a faint breeze of hope to a discouraged soul—and perhaps better than all—if you are one of His did you tell it? Not in words, perhaps, but in acts that breathed the spirit of the Master, helpful acts that steadied and strengthened one weaker than you. If your record reads thus, then you can be sure where your yesterday is, in the Father's keeping, and the work you did He will increase a thousandfold, so that you will stand awed at the wonderful results that have been enlarging through the years from your one little day of service. Where is your yesterday? How many yesterdays we have striven—and are still striving to forget. We would not have kept their record if we could have persuaded memory to leave the pages blank, but something must be written each day, and there is no bribing memory to write falsely. The record she keeps is well-nigh faultless, and we dare not deny the truths she so patiently and faithfully inscribes upon our minds and hearts. There have been "yesterdays" that we would live over again just for the gladness of them; bright, happy comfortable days, when we felt it was easy to be "good" because life was sweet and the world—our little world—smiled on us so brightly. If service was needed it was quickly rendered, for light hearts bear burdens easily and happiness grows from the dividing. These "yesterdays" are precious memories, but how of those in which we failed even in the desire to be of service? The selfish days when our own will—pleasure, controlled us. The eventime came, and we could think of no good accomplished; we had simply lived, not expanded, nor advanced; dwarfed, rather, because we had refused to grow, and not because God willed it so. But even those "yesterdays" are not so disastrous as the ones in which we have been the means of another's stumbling. We were not only selfish, but cruel, when we stood in the way of some who trusted us, perhaps, and who through their very love were easily influenced to follow us into some by-way of sin. True, they may have fought their way back through the darkness to light again, but they must bear the scars sin always leaves as reminders of its one-time dominion over the soul. It is not strange that such days as these are the ones we may never forget. It is the law of retribution. We were intended to help and not hinder one another, and to each of us has been given the power to do so if we will, but when we forget our God-given mission and give rein to evil desires or passions, we just as surely bring into some other life something of the evil that influences our own. To many a repentant soul the memory of "yesterday" brings remorse that is all the deeper because the day is done, the act recorded, and the result must live on in another life until at the time of final readjustment One far wiser and more just than we separates the good and bad in each life and places it where it belongs. "The glory of our life Comes from what we do or what we know, Put dwells forever in what we are." —Burlington Hawkey. RELIGIOUS TRUTHS. What is defeat? Nothing but education; nothing but the first step to something better.—Wendell Phillips. I can easier teach 20 what were good to be done, than to be one of the 20 to follow mine own teachings.—Shakespeare. All my happiness I owe to the central effort that my father and mother made to make home the happiest place on earth.—Edward Everett Hale. There are many parables which I don't understand, but in Christ's teaching what I do understand I find to be wholly above me and not below.—James Hinton. Love is delicate; "love is hurt with jar and fret;" and you might as well expect a violin to remain in tune if roughly used as love to survive if chilled or driven into itself.—Sir John Lubbock. The grace that liberates also illuminates. The grace that brings "redemption" also confers "wisdom." Our opened eyes are to be fed and feasted with ever more glorious unveilings of the Eternal. We are to obtain more and more spacious conceptions of truth, richer and profounder knowledge of God.—J. H. Jowett. Religion comes through men to make man perfect. Since it does not come to man as already perfect, it falls necessarily under the law of human progress. You cannot create moral character. A perfect physical creature may be created, but a perfect moral character is incapable of creation. He must act, he must be disciplined, he must be taught; he is made perfect by the things which he suffers.—A. M. Bairbalm. Manhood. The manhood that reigns and survives is the spiritual man, which gradually, under divine guidance, comes into possession of its powers, and at death passes through the gates beyond the years.—Rev. G.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (6) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences.

B. F. and S. M. T., has met and passed, another grand body, the Knights of Pythias, will meet in St. Louis on August 26. This powerful organization will make its session one to be remembered. A grand time is anticipated. Companies from all sections of the United States will assemble here. A parade a mile long will pass through some of the most important streets of the city. Hohen's grove has been engaged for one week, for the purpose of entertaining strangers and native St. Louisans. A drama, followed by a grand ball, will be held at the exposition. This order is composed of men from every walk of life, from the professional to the humblest workman. They are joined, however, under the same band of F. C. and B., and St. Louis heartily welcomes all who assemble at this, one of this city's most notable events. Somewhat Ambiguous. Parke—I wish you would drop in to dinner on us any night.

Under a decision rendered by the Secretary of the Interior under the Cleveland administration, May 27, 1893, in the case of Charles T. Bennett, the Commissioner of Pensions organized a Board of Revision in the Bureau of Pensions for the purpose of taking from the files claims that 'and been allowed under the act of June 27, 1890, for a re-examination; as a result of that re-examination, under instructions then given, pensioners were reduced or dropped in at least 25,000 cases. Upon a careful examination of the action then taken, Assistant Secretary of the Interior Webster Davis has issued the following Order relating to appeals pending before the Department in such cases: "Department of the Interior. "Department of the interior. "Washington, Feb. 26, 1898. "Order: "It is directed that the pending appeals from the action of reducing or terminating of pensions granted under the second section of Act of June 27, 1890, in accordance with the decisions rendered May 27, 1893, in the case of Charles T. Bennett (7 P. D., p. 1), shall be examined with great care. "In cases where the evidence filed, or the certificate of examination, indicates that the pension originally allowed was warranted under a just and impartial construction of the law, they should be returned to the Bureau of Pensions for a special examination, or another medical examination, or both, as may be deemed necessary. "It is held to be proper and just that such pensioners shall be granted a fair hearing, and be allowed an opportunity to show by competent proof that they were disabled in the degree, and on account of the causes alleged at the date when the pension was reduced or terminated. "It will be understood that this action disposes of the pending appeal in such cases by reversing the action taken by the Bureau of Pensions, and remanding the case for further investigation, the reasons therefor being fully set forth. "(Signed) * WEBSTER DAVIS, "Assistant Secretary." This Order will result in giving all soldiers affected by the Bennett decision of a chance to be heard, which is what they have been contending for ever since that decision was promulgated. IMPORTANT TO ALL MEMBERS OF ANY STATE MILITIA. Under the latest ruling or the Hon. Secretary of the Interior all persons who were regularly enlisted in any State Militia organization and temporarily in the United States service, or serving under United States officers, are now entitled to pension on account of any disability (wound, injury or disease) that was incurred or contracted while in the United States service, even though they were never regularly mustered into same. This ruling affects all state militia men called into active service by order of the United States officers; provided, the disabilities were incurred while performing duty under such orders. tf. BOUNTIES TO VOLUNTEERS. 11. All soldiers discharged by reason of wounds received in battle, or in line of duty, are entitled by Acts of March 3, 1863, March 3, 1865, and Joint Resolution of Anni! 12, 1866, to receive the same bea* they would have received if they ad served their full term of enlistment. The word wound, as used in the foregoing, is to be understood in the sense of injury, hurt, damage, as contradisfigured from disease or sickness. The bounty can only be allowed when the soldier was actually discharged by reason of the wound as soferaid. 12. The time for filing claims under the act of July 28, 1866, known as the "Additional Bounty Act," expired July 1, 1880. Claims under that act, not filed within the time limited, cannot be considered by this Office without further legislation by Congress. IMPORTANT TO SOLDIERS AND SAILORS WHO ENLISTED UNDER AN ASSUMED NAME Under the act of Congress approved April 14, 1890, for the relief of soldiers and sailors who enlisted or served under an assumed name in the army or War of Rebellion, they can now secure, under proper proof of identity, new certificates of discharge or orders of navy of the United States during the acceptance or resignation setting forth the true name of the soldier or sailor provided the name under which the service was rendered was not assumed to cover a crime or to avoid the consequences of a crime. Hundreds of soldiers on entering the service enlisted under assumed names for trivial or no special reasons, who have since often wished that they could secure a discharge showing their true names. it A New Law. "That any person who was duly appointed or commissioned to be an officer of the volunteer service during the war of the rebellion, and who was subject to the mustering regulations at the time applied to members of the volunteer service, shall be held and considered to have been mustered into the service of the United States in the grade named in his appointment or commission from the date from which he was to take rank under and by the terms of his said appointment or commission, whether the same was actually received by him or not, and shall be entitled to pay, emoluments, and pension as if actually mustered at that date. Provided, That at the date from which he was to take rank by the terms of his said appointment or commission there was a vacancy to which he could be so appointed or commissioned, and his command had either been recruited to the minimum number required by law and the regulations of the War Department, or had been assigned to duty in the field, and that he was actually performing the duties of the grade to which he was so appointed or sent by reason of wounds, or in hospital by reason of disability received in the service in the line of duty, at the date of issue of his appointment or commission, if a vacancy existed for him in the grade to which so appointed or commissioned, shall be entitled to all the benefits to which he would have been entitled under this act if he had been actually performing the duties of the grade to which he was appointed or commissioned at said date: Provided further, that this act shall be construed to apply only in those cases where the commission bears date prior to June twentieth, eighteen hundred and sixty-three, or after that date when the commands of the persons appointed or commissioned were not below the ner of war, or who may have been abminimum number required by then existing laws and regulations.

The poet read the stanza—then carefully reread it—then read it again, while all looked on with bated breath. At last he spoke: "I can not recollect what I meant when I wrote it, but I do remember that it was one of the finest things I ever wrote, and you can not do better than devote your lives to the discovery of its meaning."—Chicago News.

"Section seven, isn't it, Bert?" she asked, glancing over her shoulder. "Yes, dear," he said, in so low a tone that no one but she could hear him. They escused themselves in their seats and he arranged the baggage. As she took off her hat some rice fell out of the folds of velvet. They both smiled, writes Marie Rue, in New York Herald. "Are there any white bows and placards on our trunks?" she asked. "There were a whole lot, but I tore them off. Do you know who put the sleighbells on the carriage?" "I fancy it was Jack. Next month, when he and Nan are married, we can pay them back." "How well everything about the wedding went off," Bert remarked complacently. "Yes," replied Grace, "but I was rather confused at the reception when every one came up to congratulate us. They all said the same things, and it sort of dazed me. Ralph Brownell was among the last, and when he said that he knew I was happy I said: 'Not at all, not at all.' He was tremedously amused, and I don't suppose that I will ever hear the last of it." "Poor little girl," said Bert, smiling at her fondly, "I am afraid that the excitement has fatigued you." "I am not tired, but just dreamy," Grace replied. There was a little silence. The train pulled slowly out of the station. "This is the day we have looked forward to for two years," he said, looking at her lovingly. "Yes," she said, with a contented little sigh. Then she added, merrily: "How we have scrimped to get ready for it! But I think that one enjoys things far more when one has to contreactive about getting them instead of their being a matter of course." "Yes, indeed," he asserted. "Gad, how awfully economical we have been! Why, I wore my overcoat three winters, and I did not send you flowers and things or take you to the theater half as often as I would have done if I hadn't had to save up for this trip. Well, now we are fairly started and we'll be as rashly extravagant as we choose, just for once. We will stay at the Waldorf and dine at Delmonico's and ride in automobiles instead of street cars." He paused for breath. "Yes," she exclaimed, "and we'll go to the theater and afterward to supper at those queer Bohemian places you have told me of." She laughed and clapped her hands in anticipation. He was delighted with her enthusiasm. "And you must wear your light gowns every night, and I will wear my Tuxedo. No one will suspect how little money we really have," he said boyishly. "I wonder if every one can tell that we are bride and groom," she said, dimpling. "I am so happy that I cannot conceal it, and I dare say that people will guess right away." He looked at her tenderly. "I mean to make you as happy as I can," he said earnestly. They were both silent for a moment. The porter came in with a footstool and a pillow, and Bert put his hand in his pocket to get some money with which to tip him. As he drew out the change, Grace espied a tobacco pouch. Playfully seizing it she tossed it out of the window, explaining rather playfully, "Why, bert, you made me a wedding present of a promise not to smoke!" He turned deadly pale, and gazed at her in a dazed sort of way. She looked at him in vague alarm. "What is the matter?" she asked, excitedly. "That package," he said, contained all the money I had saved." Unfortunately the Only Way. "Of course, you wouldn't marry a title." "Not if there was any other way of getting one," answered the severely practical girl.—Chicago Post. The Only Way. Tite—There's only one way to get civil service. Jenks—How's that?

BURNING PAPER TRICK Tell somebody that he will not be able to hold a strip of paper about six inches long with his fingers as soon as you light the upper end of it. You offer him the strip of paper, he will hold it between thumb and index finger. You BURNING PAPER TRICK hold a match to the end a few seconds and your friend will drop the strip as if somebody had knocked it out of his hand, because the strip has burned his hand badly. The strip of paper is prepared in the following way: Take a strip of paper 12 inches long and bend it in the middle, curl both sides by pulling them through your thumb and a knife held in the hand in such a way that they stand out like two clock springs. Lay the strips together, holding the two ends between the thumb and index finger, and to try it on yourself light the other end. As soon as the paper is burned through the two parts of the strip will spring back over your hand and you will drop them in a hurry.—Chicago Tribune. Then the Storm Broke. Brown had a habit of keeping late hours, and although his better half made it uncomfortable for him at times she failed to cure him of his nocturnal homecomings. At last she hit upon a plan to frighten him, so when he came in one night at his usual hour he saw a white shrouded figure gliding toward him along the passage in the moonlight. "Wh—wh—w—w—what's that?" "Wh—wh—w—w—what's that?" gasped Brown. "I am the family ghost," a sepulchral voice replied. Brown heaved a sigh of relief. "Great Scot!" he said. "How you frightened me! I thought it was the missus."—Tit-Bits. Raccoon Whips an Eagle. Until recently Isaac Brandiff, of Salem, N. J., had two pets—a big bald eagle and a raccoon. He still has the coon, somewhat the worse for wear, but the bird of freedom is dead. There was a fight, and the little 'coon, after a desperate battle, won. Five-Pointed St With One THE story goes that Betsy Ross refused to make a six-pointed star for Gen. Washington, and said that the five-pointed one which she could make with one snip of her scissors was much prettier. Betsy Ross was Washington's shirt maker. She was a seamstress of more than ordinary skill, and so when the flag committee of congress wanted a design worked up, Washington, who was a member of the committee, suggested the deft-fingered Betsy. She accepted the commission and members of her family made the flags for the United States for sixty years. Oddly enough these flags were made of English bunting, and with English thread, until some time in 1870, when Gen. Ben Butler established a bunting factory. He then got the contract to furnish bunting to the United States for its flags, and it was not till that time that the flags became all American. It is quite easy to make Betsy's star, though it has often been disputed that it could be done. Follow directions exactly, training the eye as to evenness of fold, and you can soon do the folding --- REMARKABLE MONKEY. He Ate with Knife and Fork, Was Very Polite and Polished His Mistress' Shoes. A woman tells of a monkey which she saw while in Paris, which was so well trained in good manners that it was almost impossible to believe that he did not understand what was said to him. The Japan Weekly Mail describes the animal's accomplishments: When the woman met the monkey suddenly on the stairs one day, the creature stood in the corner to allow her to pass, and when she said "Good morning!" he took off his cap and bowed. "Are you going away?" she asked. "Where is your passport?" Pulling off his cap, he took from the crown a paper, opened it, and showed it to her. When some one observed that her dress was dusty, the courteous monkey took a brush from the table, and carefully brushed her dress and then her shoes. When anyone gave him food he always made a low bow before taking it, and then ate it slowly and daintily. He had been taught to eat eggs with a spoon, and to use a knife and fork. He could lock and unlock a drawer, thread a needle, uncork a bottle, and polish his master's shoes. He seemed to take great pleasure in gay company, and paid close attention to the conversation, looking in turn at each speaker as if he understood what was said. This remarkable monkey was never placed on exhibition. He died at an early age, of pneumonia. TRICK WITH MATCHES. An Amusing Experiment and One That Never Falls to Create a Lot of Surprise. In a plate or basin filled with water place eight matches in the form of a star, as shown in the accompanying picture, taking care that only the lower part of each match shall become wet, and next prepare a magician's wand in such a manner that it will resemble a short ebony staff with two ivory tips. A suitable ebony staff can be made by putting a coat of black varnish on a small tin tube, and as substitutes for the ivory tips a small cylindrical piece of soap and another of sugar must be used. Seeing these white objects at the two ends of the staff, the audience can readily be made to believe that they are ivory tips. If you want the matches to come together, all that is necessary is to dip the sugar tipped end of the wand in the MANIPULATING THE MATCHES water about the center of the star, for the sugar will at once begin to draw the water into its pores, and naturally the matches will crowd together in the same direction. On the other hand, if you want the matches to move away from each other, all that is necessary is to dip the soap-tipped end of the wand in the water, for the soap will at once begin to melt, and the water, thrust back by the fat which has gathered on its surface, will, naturally, break up the starlike formation and drive the matches in various directions. This is an amusing trick, and one which never fails to create a good deal of surprise.—N. Y. Herald. A Matter of Atmosphere. A body weighing one pound on earth would weigh $27\frac{1}{2}$ pounds upon the sun. ar Made Snip of Scissors with your eyes shut. The proportion of the paper should be about five and one-half to six and one-half inches. Fold it the long way, directly in the middle. Then fold over the upper corner as in first cut, observing the proportions as set forth there and relative angle of the fold. Fold the fold exactly over upon itself which will make the line of the fold come a little below the right-hand point. Then you will have figure two. Take figure two and double the fold back upon and under itself, and you will have figure three, so that the top sloping line will be exactly even with the left or longer line, which will give you the semi-triangular figure of number four. Cut the paper along the dotted lines. If you want a very sharp-pointed star cut it higher toward the left point, but leave the right-hand point of cutting the same. By practicing with pieces of paper you can soon get it correct. The star can be made on a scale of as large a size as is wanted by preserving the proportion of one or two.—Washington Star. Chafing Dish and Table Devices and Inventions HOUSEHOLD OLD BEYOND HER AGE. As a Child Wife of the British Colonial Secretary Was Companion of Her Parents. The wife of the colonial secretary of Great Britain is not only an Endicott, of Massachusetts, but she is lineally connected with the Crowninshields and Peabodys, two of the famous families of New England. Because of her early training and natural reserve of manner, Mrs. Joseph MRS. JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN. Chamberlain has been able to meet the responsibilities of her social position abroad. As a child she was old beyond her years, through constant companionship with her parents and grandparents in Salem, at the Nahant summer home and on the farm at Danvers. The Danvers house was built by the great Salem merchant, Joseph Peabody, reverted to the son George, who in turn left the estate to Mrs. Endicott, whose only son, W. C. Endicott, still makes it his summer resort. It was while her grandfather was at the farm that Mrs. Chamberlain and her father went there pleasant days on horseback or in carriage. Many were the family picnics. Two beautiful gardens are connected with the Danvers house. One was the favorite of Mr. Peabody, laid out in old-fashioned style, with all the flowers that were so well known in his childhood. The other was designed by Mr. Chamberlain, a sun-dial in the center. They are kept in their original condition. Once, when Mrs. Endicott was visiting her daughter in England, the gardener left in charge undertook to beautify the grounds. He changed the old garden into a modern one with the rarest and most fashionable plants. Mrs. Endicott came home and immediately ordered the gardener to undo his work. The Danvers house is where Mr. Chamberlain has tarried during his many visits to America. Simple Methods Are Best. It is always best to try simple methods of removing stains before resorting to strong chemicals, such as chloride of lime, which is one of the most powerful chemicals for removing stains. It is so strong that it may be very destructive if not used carefully. EVER desirable and welcome are devices and conveniences for the table and chafing dish which, if they are not actually new, assume an air of newness that serves the same purpose. They claim attention from the housewife with her large or small EGG POACHER BREAKFAST CRUETS SILVER HOT WATER JUG establishment as the case may be; from the bachelor girl and also from the up-to-date bachelor who likes to display his culinary skill in the manipulation of a chafing dish. The novelties are few, but each season finds the manufacturers introducing some dish or utensil or apparatus that wins attention, if not on the score of newness, then for its practical value or artistic form. Even the most prosaic of household utensils represent nowadays the combination of beauty and utility, as witness the handsome agate ware, bright nickel and shining copper with which the modern kitchen is equipped. When it comes to the table ware or chafing dish fitments—to use an English term—this tendency toward the union of the attractive and useful is even more pronounced. It is not decreed that the china, silver and glass in daily use shall be costly, but A SEASONABLE HINT. Dyed Laces, Which Are Quite the Correct Thing Now, Can Be Made Very Attractive. Those who own lace collars, light or heavy, and who find them sadly soiled, can make them very attractive by giving them a taste of the dye pot, selecting a shade that goes well with any gown. Dyes of every color are used upon laces and upon the choicest laces at that. It seems like sacrilege to treat a delicate bit of lace to a coat of scarlet dye, but it is the fashion to do so. The dyed laces, made to match the gown exactly, are worn at evening functions, sometimes in the shape of a shawl to throw around the shoulders, but more often in the shape of a deep flounce, or as a vest, or as a wide shoulder cape, or yet, as a very deep lace collar. One of the newest articles of wear in the lace line is a lace collar which is made out of a yard or so of piece lace. The cape part is cut circular to fit over the shoulders. In the front there are two wide stoles that hang below the waist line. The whole is edged with a very narrow piping of liberty silk. Another lace collar, made out of piece lace, is circular, with the upper edge gathered upon a band of white silk which is fitted to the neck in such a way that it lies flat, below the stock. The lace collar is really a ruffle with a border of white chiffon ruching no wider than a match.—Chicago Examiner. AN AGED HORSEWOMAN. Mrs. Sally Lamb Hayden, Aged Ninety, Is Still Fond of Riding on Horseback. In the little village of Gill, Mass., a suburb of the ancient town of Greenfield, lives Mrs. Sally Lamb Hayden, who, at the age of 90, frequently rides on horseback. She has lived in Gill for more than 50 years, and has been a member of the Methodist church nearly all her life. Her husband, who was several MRS. SALLY L. HAYDEN. (Ninety Years Old, She Takes Daily Exercise on Horseback.) years her senior, died a number of years ago. The pony Mrs. Hayden rides is a gentle one, and seems to appreciate the dignity of his aged burden. Mrs Hayden has to be assisted into the saddle, of course, but the rest of the ride is unattended in any way. When Greenfield gives a coaching parade Mrs. Hayden is always in line, and after the last parade the members of the club gave her a handsome present. She has two spinning wheels at home, and is usually busy over them when not taking her exercise on horseback. it has become an unwritten law among people of refinement and taste that everything pertaining to the table shall be as dainty and as pretty as is possible without detracting from its usefulness. In the accompanying group, taken from the Brooklyn Eagle, are shown a few of the season's latest productions in the interest of the household. The egg poacher is an imported device for the chafing dish, by the use of which three eggs may be prepared at once. The second chafing dish accessory, the so-called "hanger," is also a device of foreign manufacture which can be adjusted to the lampstand of the dish so as to allow any sized saucepan (smaller than the proper pan belonging to the chafing dish) being heated over the lamp. The dainty little cruets for use on the breakfast table need no special reference, while the graceful form of design of the hot water jug is certain to commend itself to those whose fancy in silverware tends toward simplicity in design. The butter dish which completes the group SUGAR BOWL IN FERN PATTERN. CHAFING DISH HANGER. is noticeable for the effectiveness of the fern leaf pattern, set in relief by the fluted edging. The bowl is of sterling silver with lining of gold and the water pitcher and cruets are likewise of sterling silver. 900 DROPS CASTORIA A Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS / CHILDREN Promotes Digestion.

(1 Sam., 18-5-16) & And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants. & And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tablets, with joy, and with instruments of music. & The women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. & And Saul was very wroth, and the saving displeased him, and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands; and what can he have more but the kingdom? & And Saul ceyed David from that day And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house; and David played with his hand, as at other times; and there was a javelin in Saul's hand, for he said, I will smile David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice. And Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul. Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people. And David behaved himself wisely in his ways; and the Lord was with him. Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him. But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.

PLACE-Glbeah, where Saul had his royal residence, about four miles north of NOTES AND COMMENTS. Two different accounts are given of the introduction of David to King Saul, which are somewhat confusing. After his anointing by Samuel, David was summoned to court to charm away "the evil spirit that troubled Saul" by means of his talent with the harp. But the narrative studied last Sunday introduces David as a stranger to the king. Of course David's visits at court may have been few, and Saul's failure to recognize him at Scooch may have been due to his older and altered appearance, or to the fact that Saul had seen him only during his fits of madness. David's appointment as armor-bearer, mentioned in 16:21, was doubtless subsequent to his victory over Goliath. The slayer of Goliath had been promised the hand of the king's daughter. But he won instead the hearts of the king's son and all the people. The adulation heaped upon him by countless admirers and the honors bestowed by the king were a severe test of his sturdy character than was the conflict with Goliath. But David was unspoiled by success. "Behaved himself wisely." This is emphasized three times in the narrative. "When David returned," Not from killing Goliath, but some time later. This celebration was later in the same war with the Philistines, which had continued. The immoderate flattery of the women was the beginning of David's trouble. "Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you." His excess of popularity proved his undoing. He would have been far better off without it, for it aroused the king's jealousy. "And Saul eyed David from that day." Anger, jealousy and suspicion rushed in the king's heart because of the praises of the popular hero. Heretofore David had been but a shepherd youth in Saul's eyes. Now he views him as a rival. He remembers, with a guilty uneasiness, the keen words of Samuel warning him that Jehovah would "rend the king-dom from him and give it to a neighbor who was better than he." The very thought brings on his old-time madness, and when David, as before, tries to comfort and calm him with his music, the jealousy king in a burst of passion hurls his javelin at him David twice escapes. Saul was superstitious (see 28:7), and because David so readily escaped his javelin, he believed him to bear "charmed life." Therefore he begins to fear him. He feels constrained, however, to assign him to duty as an officer in the army, because of his popularity. When fear is added to jealous suspicion, treachery soon follows. Fearing to oppose David publicly, Saul secretly plots to cause his death. His hope that he may die in battle is not realized so he urges him to special deeds of boldness in order to win in marriage the king's daughter, Michal. The plot is a mean one, but David passes the ordeal unscathed and wins the prize, becoming the king's son-in-law. Constantly baffled in his jealous plans, Saul nurses his wrath and bids his time. a hard head may go with a tender heart. Overcome evil with good rather than be overcome with evil. Solitude is as necessary to the soul as companionship is to the character. The best place to criticise your neighbor is in front of your own mirror. The only way some people expect peace is by making their own opinions prevail. When you have killed your enemy with kindness you have created a friend HARRY FAULKNER IS FOUND GUILTY Convicted of Perjury in the Suburban Railway Boodle Case. THREE YEARS IN PENITENTIARY Took Jury But Twenty Minutes to Convict Former Member of House of Delegates of Perjury—Third Trial for Same Offence. St. Louis, Aug. 6.—The jury in the case of Harry Faulkner, former member of the house of delegates, returned a verdict at 3:30 Wednesday afternoon, finding the defendant guilty of perjury and fixing his punishment at three years in the penitentiary. The jury was out 20 minutes. This is the third time Faulkner has been tried for perjury. He was convicted in July last year and his punishment fixed at two years in the penitentiary. History of the Case. The supreme court reversed and remanded that case. Last week he was tried again. The jury failed; after 18 hours' deliberation, to agree upon a verdict, and was discharged. Judge Douglas immediately reset the case for trial Monday. A special venire of 100 men was ordered, from which to select the jury. The jurymen were all qualified Monday, and the taking of testimony began Tuesday. Faulkner was surprised at the verdict. He and his attorneys expected an acquittal, especially as his chief counsel, ex-Gov. Charles P. Johnson, had put up a stronger defense than at the previous perjury trials. **Motion Filed for New Trial.** Faulkner's counsel immediately filed motion for new trial. Judge Douglas fixed bond in the sum of $15,000, which was promptly given, with Col. William Swift and Tony Steuver as securities. Faulkner had little to say other than that he was confident of ultimate acquittal. Ex-Gov. Johnson stated that the verdict was due to the position assumed by the court in his instructions. The contention of the defense was that Faulkner, to have been guilty of perjury, should have seen the money, that any other knowledge on his part would have been mere hearsay evidence. The state rested its case Tuesday, and before adjournment the defense introduced several character witnesses but offered no other testimony. **Instructions to the Jury.** Judge Douglas' instruction to the jury in the Faulkner case, Wednesday afternoon, made clear the definition of the word "knowledge," used in the indictment. The court stated that if the jurors believed from the evidence that during the latter part of 1900, during all of 1901 and during January, 1902, the defendant was a member of the house of delegates and that the defendant, John K. Murrell and other delegates formed a combine, at a meeting at which the defendant was present and participating, agreed to demand the sum of $75,000 as a bribe to secure the votes of the combine in passing the ordinance known as the Suburban bill, and if the evidence showed that the defendant was privy to Murrell's agreement with Philip Stock, representing the St. Louis & Suburban Co., to secure the money for the combine's vote, and if the defendant, prior to the time when he testified before the grand jury, learned from Murrell that the money was deposited in the deposit safe of the Lincoln Trust Co., then the jury is warranted in finding that the defendant did know of the existence of the $75,000 and the purpose for which it was so deposited. RAILROADS ASK EXTENSION Want Time Limit Extended In Which to Equip Their Rolling Stock With Safety Appliances. Washington, Aug. 6.—The interstate commerce commission gave a hearing, Wednesday, on the applications of various railroads for an extension of time within which the equipment of their rolling stock with safety appliances must be completed. The law fixes September 1 next. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad asked that the requirement of grab irons on front or sides of road engines be dispensed with or else that the time for such equipment be extended. Eleven railroads were represented by counsel or by one or more officers. The railway employees were represented by P. H. Morrissey, grand master Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen; John J. Hannahan, grand master Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen; Frank T. Hawley, grand master Switchmen's Union of North America, Buffalo, N. Y., and A. B. Garretson, assistant grand chief Order of Railway conductors, Cedar Rapids. Niagara Fallis, N.

Hanna, Wyo., Aug. 6.—The coroner's jury that investigated the mine disaster of June 30 found that the explosion was caused by ignition of gas in some manner unknown. "Red Tape" by the Yard. One of the soldiers who had been reported killed in a certain battle in South Africa and against whose name in the regimental books a note to that effect had ben made, afterward turned up and reported himself. Then the sergeant made another note in the book, and the man was placed in the hospital, and a few weeks after succumbed to the injuries he had received. This fact was communicated to the sergeant through the colonel of the regiment, and then a third note was made: "Re-died by order of the colonel."—London 'V.

L. Butler was very ill. The doctor said he had some disease of the spinal cord, and treated him for two months, but he grew worse all the time, and finally the doctor told Mr. Butler that he did not know what was the trouble. He was ill, and said he was dying. He would be nervous and trembling and want to run out of the house, saying he saw ugly things which frightened him. His father was very much discouraged till one day he saw a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney was advertised, and he also bought some and began to give them to his boy. He used altogether eight boxes before he was entirely cured. He has not been troubled since. Mr. Butler says. I feel it my duty to tell what Dodd's Kidney was done for my boy. All this remedy needs is a fair chance and it will speak for itself." A. Fussier-What would you do if I kissed you? Mary McLane-I would scream for help.

Another club woman, Mrs. Haule, of Edgerton, Wis., tells how she was cured of irregularities and uterine trouble, terrible pains and backache by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "A while ago my health began to fall because of female troubles. The doctor did not help me. I remembered that my mother had used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound on many occasions for irregularities and uterine troubles, and I felt sure that it could not harm me at any rate to give it a trial. "I was certainly glad to find that within a week I felt much better, the terrible pains in my back and side were beginning to cease, and at the time of menstruation I did not have nearly as serious a time as heretofore, so I continued its use for two months, and at the end of that time I was like a new woman. I really have never felt better in my life, have not had a sick headache since, and weigh in unhastily. I ever did! I unhesitably recommend Vegetable Compound."—MRS. MAY HAULE, Edgerton, Wis., President Household Economics Club. —$5000 if felt original of above letter proving genuineness cannot be produced. Women should remember there is one tried and true remedy for all female ills, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Refuse to buy any other medicine, you need the best. Supposed Kidney Diseases, Heart Troubles and many similar ills are but some form of indigestion or stomach troubles. The stomach is the great nerve center; hence the beginning of sickness is usually in the stomach and here the symptoms multiply and spread in every direction. We positively guarantee much pain in my back; as time went on I could hardly endure it; I could not stand a moment of silence; a time; I grew weak and exhausted; I could not even do light housework; I could not stop or be bent; I was in pain from my head down to my heels; centering in the kidneys it was a heavy, steady, bracing pain; rested nights, and got up mornings weak and tired. I thought I was about done when my Pills advertised. Within a week after commencing their use I began to improve, and from that time on rapidly boxes in all and was cured."

THE STATE HALL 1 signed the four facades subservient to this principle. In the south front, towards the hill, the main entrance shows a triple arcade with flanking pavilions in the center. The north front of 1,000 feet has an arcade of seven arches as a center feature. The two axes of these central features are 100 feet apart, and in our ground plan we have formed on each of these axes a cross-aisle and nave of 80 feet in width. These two aisles are connected by a lower room, with lantern light above. "The east facade shows a comparatively low building centered by two gables and smaller entrance feature. The re-entering angle on the south-west corner is very interesting in its development. The other corner fea- --- U. S. POSTOFFICE.

BRENT, THE STATE HALL OF MADRID tures are each made with a triumphal arch entrance taken from the principal motif, with two of the principal pavilions in the line of the facades. As a land mark we have used two large towers, raised in the center of the immense main aisle of the structure, and immediately back of the large arcade feature of the north facade. The towers are safely built upon massive piers, and form a magnificent corner turning feature in the general complex of exposition buildings, the Machinery Building being the end one of the main group. "The plan has been arranged with special reference to the admission of daylight, which enters, through clerestory windows, all the principal cisles. These windows afford ample --- Afro-American Dept. ventilation and are intended to be readily accessible for opening. "The axial measurement of unit in the building is 20 feet, and the width of the various aisles are multiples of this unit, being 40, 60 and 80 feet wide, respectively. The main aisles are 65 feet in height, and the secondary aisles 30 feet, affording an abundance of clerestory light. The construction of the building is of the simplest and least expensive kind, and is to be covered on the outer side with staff, with enriched spandrels and other ornamental features, and surmounted by occasional sculpture groups where desired." This building houses the exposition power plant, the largest power plant ever shown as an exhibit, and just west of it is the boiler house. The structure was erected by the Smith & Eastman company. The Machinery Building will contain exhibits collected by the Department of Machinery, of which Mr. Thomas Moore is the chief. Newly Fitted. We have been looking for it.

Mr. Robert Johnson, of 209 South Fifteenth street, was born in 1815; therefore, was a slave forty-five years; he passed through the civil war in the commissary department, rnd since that time, through friends, he has secured several good positions; in 1881 he was employed by the late Hon. John W. Turner, Street Commissioner under Mayor William L. Ewing, then under Hon. D. R. Francis, who was Mayor of St. Louis. For the past ten years he has been a patient sufferer; not being able to do any hard work, yet he was always willing to do something for a living. He is now a newsdealer, selling papers; by that means he makes a fair living. He sells the St. Louis Palladium, and if you wish to help him, you can do so.
