A Georgian statute makes it unlawful for a man to drink alcohol in the Cracker State. A statute of Colorado makes it unlawful to dock a horse's tail. A Florida statute makes the manufacture and sale of cigarettes a misdemeanor unless they are filled with alcohol. A Massachusetts law makes it a misdemeanor for a period of three days following the adoption of the statute, to shoot an eagle in that state, and Michigan has a law for barber shops, creating a board of barbers, and making obligatory an official certificate for barbers. The State of Pennsylvania has a statute regulating the use of second-hand liquor, and the state's secession of malt liquors. Oregon has a law as to the composition of and the ingredients that may be used in candy, and Illinois has a law as to gold and silver plating, prescribing what may be done and what is prohibited in respect to the display and plated ware in that state. These are but a few of the statutes adopted by state legislatures within the period of a year, and are a fair sample of the solicitude which is at times shown by the public register in public health, morals and good order, provide against the guille of unrighteous persons and secure to the people of their respective states the full enjoyment of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The last Wisconsin legislature adopted a statute requiring a public register to be kept containing the names of all lobbyists, the various bills to oppose or promote which they are employed. Within thirty days after the adjournment of the legislature persons or corporations employing lobbyists must make a detailed statement; or must instruct the secretary of state at Madison. North Carolina has a law setting to the lease of turpentine orchards, which provides that leases shall expire in January instead of April, as was formerly the rule. The lease is the sale of what is called, officially, reevaluated butter, and the State of Washington has a law which requires the capacity of milk cans to be stamped upon the outside of each by the town auditor. Missouri, a state poultry association, has a state statute that larceny to steal a dog listed for taxes. Vermont has a new bounty law, providing for the payment of $5 for each lynch, $1 for each rattlesnake, 60 cents for each fox killed in the attack, and 50 cents for miners to have certificates of compa-ence. Washington has provided for the establishment of boards of examiners of horsehorses in cities of more than 20,000 inhabitants, and Delaware has adopted a statute which requires gypsies to pay a license fee in that state.

The young princess is styled Nadeshaedo, and she is said to have which convey the ill news, and is said to be accompanied in her desperate step by a daughter of Osman Fasha, the illustrious hero of Plevna. In face of such perturbing particulars it is natural to hear that his imperial majesty the sulitan had been a victim of occurrence, which upsets all ideas of Oriental decorum, and will be attributed universally by orthodox Turks to the deplorable strict of strict and proper views upon religion and morals and to the ever-diminishing opacity of the yashmak, or the shocking events all but impossible.

Public attention thereto has been called by the press, and action therein by the political parties has been called for. Is there any danger that the state legislature will not quate to solve the problem? Let us have full and free public discussion of the problem. I believe that congress and the state legislatures have ample powers to handle the subject. There are two classes of corporations against which outcry is given. The state legislature mercie and others engaged in manufacturing, buying and selling merchandise. As to the first, I suggest an act of congress providing for the appointment by the president, with the approval of the legislature. If such an act is not object to removal at any time by the president, all corporations, by appropriate penalties, to be prohibited from engaging in interstate commerce unless licensed so to permit such commerce. If such commerce for such license is to be in writing, subject to the inspection of the public, stating the name of the petitioner, by what authority created its capital, the nature of the business, the nature of charter and what it asks and proposes to do. The commission to appoint a time and place of hearing and require petitioner, at his expense, to give specified information to appear and show cause, if any they have, such license should not be granted, a hearing to be had and a license granted if it appears that the objects proposed by the petitioner are for the public benefit; otherwise to be reforced. A license fee to be charged sufficient to meet the expenses of such tribunal. Such commission, on its own property, may be shown a contract or conspiracy by such license in restraint of trade or commerce among the states of any foreign country, or other good cause, to issue and cause show cause why such license should not be revoked. Make it a criminal offense on the part of any agent of such corporation to carry on such interstate commerce with such license or after its revocation. As to the other class of corporations, trusts not engaged in interstate commerce, each state may, by law, prohibit any foreign corporation from entering the state, and good faith should prevail between the states and there should be a uniformity of law on the subject. Could there not be an assembly able to make one or more from each state, to prepare such uniform statute, which many or all the states could be induced to enact, providing for the licensing of all foreign corporations and the revocation of such license upon it appearing that such state has not been made to combine or conspiracy in the form of trust or otherwise in restraint of trade? A public discussion of these questions in the press will throw light on the subject, its dangers and remedies, and what we can do, and I respectfully solicit such discussion. —Levl Henry. MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA How the Buzzing Tormentes Carry Disease to Man. Philadelphia Press: Dr. Ronald Roes, a surgeon in the Anglo-Inglian medical service, has been awarded the Nobel Prize in science by proving the connection between the two fields. His experiments have been known. They have been accepted by Dr. Laveran, the original discoverer of the virus, who has now been reported in the Royal society. mosquitoes and malaria has long been clear. The malaria, which feeds on the red corpuscles of the skin, is known as the victim of malaria soil and anemic. are also found in the mosquito. It was natal to the mosquito, and the bacillus to the veins of warm-blooded animals, mammals and birds, both of which suffer from malaria. Dr. Ronald Rose has completed the cycle. Hands that the malaria parasite, such malaria, produces by fusion or division, asexually, when it is infected with the parasite. Hands that produce its germs, and that these in due course are transmitted to the host. Dr. Rose experimented with birds and were conclusive of this cycle. He produced a strain of the malaria infected mosquitoes from birds with the malaria parasite in their veins. He proved that all the malaria comes from mosquitoes nor that mosquitoes prove that the mosquito plays an important role in the transmission of the malaria always accompanying the fever and which is its apparent cause. Such a discovery is a major step in the understanding of malaria. These discovered, prevention will follow, and on the presence of malaria rests dangers and difficulties of tropical climates.

T almost fact for fact the very way in which this last sadly subversive and regular affair happened. Then I took down from my book shelves a volume of works in Arabic, Arabic and another of the excellent, the hard-to-find, the difficult which Dr. J. C. Mardus is now making into French—the best version of the wonderful old world stories, to my mind, ever undertaken. Yes, here is the book of the 1920s 852d night, and entitled by that charismatic exhaustible Schaarzade "The history of All Ben-Bekar and the beautiful Schammennahar." If I bridge it here from these two essays—the original and the third, which I will sure to affirm a faithful account of what I have been befalling in these modern halls and alcoves which have succeeded to the ancient ones without much real transformations, to the story, therefore accurately rendered, although in some parts a little condensed. At Baghdad, under the reign of the Khalfah Haroun al-Raschid, there lived Abul-Hassan Ben Tahir, a young merchant, and Haroun al-Raschid. He was the most fashionable of all the men, the grand bazaar. Thus he was chosen by the chief eunuch of the palace to furnish the favorites with all articles, such as silks and jewels, of which they were of great value. He took up his good taste and discretion. He never failed to supply with refreshments the enchums and palace officers who called to bring him orders, now to present them to the king. He also took part in the bank of their miltresses. Young Abul-Hassan became, therefore, almost adored by all the women and slaves of the palace, so that the khalfah grew to know of him, and he took good manners and pleasant presence, and even accorded his free access to the palace night and day. Nay, since the young merchant had excellent gifts in the khalfah, who loved nothing better than the voice and graceful reeception, admitted him more than once to the royal supper table to eat and drink, and to make a sacrifice, the shoft of Abu-Husan was, in natural condition of well-bred young men, sons of emirs and dignitaries, and of ladies also, come with goods and ornaments in their veltas, wives and brides. One of the most frequent tendencies there was a young girl, of good birth and of handsome face and form. All Ben-Bekar. It was commonly given out that he had royal blood in his veins. Of a humming carriage, his cheeks were bright and his lips leaves his eyebrows arched like bowls, as white as pearls, and his speech rends melodious. He was, moreover, a poet, and no mean one. One day when the young man was seated in the shop beside his friend, the merchant, chatting and laughing, they ladies, beautiful in shape, were velled young ladies, beautiful in shape, were cent moon, surrounding an eleventh lady, who was mounted on a mule harnessed with stamped velvet hounds and fittings in a gold five fingers lady was robed in an inaz of roses, but at the waist by a silken girdle, bordered gold five fingers broad and studded with large pearls and other jewels. Her countenance was partly hidden by a gauze coat, but however, her eyes sparkled like stars. The delicious' color and softness of the ostrich egg, and her biennia-dyed fingers, loaded with diamonds, were as if carved in shells. Her form and figure gave to the eye a vision of fortelliness. Not being shy in *Aubut-Hassan*'s shop, the lovely creature raised her vel lilt the better to see the goods displayed. But no sooner did the young poet, All Ben-Bekar, catch sight of that lovely, adaptation than he was filled with an adulation.

Out of decorum he had risen upon her entrance as though to depart, but the hands had upon her a side noted his grace and made him share his sudden and irresistible emotion, she said to the merchant, with an ad- orable, accent, at the same time sweetly smiling. Let me not be the cause of the hands, but I am the customers. I pray that to invite this young man remain." Words so gracious enchanted the ear of All-Ben-Bekar. Obliged to say something, he bowed low and murmured, he layed low and lady of all hearts! If I made to go it, I came from fear of seeming fixed, but also been in gai- ging upon the there came to my mind those lines of the poet: Look'st then with love on the Moon? She dwells in the heights beyond measure, she will to reach her with wings' or that she will to state here that. When the lady heart these lines re- peated in a tote beneath despair, she was pleased with the delicacy of her lusion, and moved by the passionate air of the poet. Thus 'twas that she came on her a long regard of sympathy, and made a sign for the merchant to her, softly whispered: "Who is this young man, and whence com- hef he?" "He is Ali Ben-Bekar," quoth the dealer, of a noble foreign woman, and is honorable in handsome. He is also my dear friend. "Truly he do please me," she replied. "Beg now, Abut Hassan, if after my departure, I send one to bid them and him all the money I am owed to them. I would have him know that there are in Baghdad chambers as splendid, and ladies as courteous, and men as noble, and as any in the land he cometh from." And the merchant said, "Be it on mine eyes, and on mine head." On this the beautiful young lady replied, "On the ship, leaving behind her from her gar- the merchant and scarcely threw gloves.

The small aloe of this repaint was too孏ing to inspect, and while the visitors joyously patched the little slave waived on them sandwiched gold with perfumed water, and gave them embroidered towels, pouring from a woven of cleded gold woven with rulers and EASTERN DEMOGRACY T IT TAKES A FARMER TO RAISE pour pooisson jouette ou souffle au diamonds, and full of rose water, with which she stroked the hands. Afterward she brought them essence of aloe blossom in a crystal mask with which she perfumed their garments. This done, she opened the door, and, in a moment, she stepped into the noble apartment of exquisite design. It was indeed a hall roofed with a dome sustained by twenty-four pillars of pure transparent alabaster, the bases and capitals of the pillars. The sections of the dome were delicately painted in lovely colors on a ground of gold. In the vacant spaces stood great cups and vases cut in jasper, agate and marble, and by a pavement of pretty mosaic work like the pattern of a garden into a garden green, and bright and fragrant under the blue sky. There in the garden All and his friend perceived sitting in a circle ten young girls, with black eyes and roxy cheeks, each of them holding a stringed instrument. And at a sign from them struck up together a prelude of such sweetness that the eyes of the young poet. Then breaking off, with voices and strings and silver tambourines they chanted this strain: Sky be glad! the Moon and Sun Meet within thee, and are one; Moon be glad! the Moon and Sun He thou lovest, rises soon! Shine thy Bightest, golden Sun! He thou beest outdone. And again: Look, delighted eyes! and see Moon comes in her brilliance; Cones to greet the sun, who pays their respect. Homage to her silver rays. Herewith the poet, who proudly heard himself called "the sun," was with eacsty heard twelve young negroes approach, who wore a white dress, a shirt of glittering silver, draped with veil, which was seated a lady, covered with a silk veil from head to foot. The black girls, with barbed limbs and golden cloths round their waists and headdress, furnished, with their silver chair and the rose-colored veil, an effect to dazzle the beholder. The chair was set down in the garden, and then a white hand parted the draperies and showed the lovely face and form of the woman, with her royal robe of blue silk, intertwined with gold and broidered with seed pearls and sparkling gems. At the moment of laying aside her mantle the princess completely removed her dress and salutation to All and his friend. They signs to the singers, and one of them, touching her -rabah, softly sang: O Fate! when fond hearts meet, drawn thus Loving and loved -mingle -tell us whether not this, He happy lovers; take and tell us. Thus in the story goes on the exchange of melodious allusions and accompaniments, until the fair princess sinks into the arms of the young poet, Abul Hassan having discreetly retired and the at hand around the enamored pair. By and by when the first emotions are calmed, there is an exquisite collation spread, with more music and singing, and "with fruits and cakes and sweet dishes on the pearled skin of the woman who chooses delicate morres and places them between the lips of Nedim, that is to say, of All Ben-Bekan" and then they wash their hands in water scented with musk, and bring cups of agar agar upon saucers of even more bidden wine, all going gagly, with fresh music and singing, until suddenly the frightened slaves ruin in and report that Masseur Alf and the enuches of the approach to announce the approach of the kings, and ultimately dangerous scene is broken up amid much confusion and apprehension. Something very much like this must have been occurring, it is to be feared, at least, between the impulsive princess and the nothing at all. In some unexpected way, at the dallah's shop, or by the sweet waters, the All Ben-kar of to-day and the Schamsenmahnae of the palace have met and found their descent, and have a less tragic ending than in the ancient city by which I have here attempted to illustrate the modern incident. FILIPINO WOOD CARVERS Evidences of Their Beautiful Work in a Manila Church. In a Manila Church. These hands in the old walled city of Manila make a beautiful beauty, should win it a place among the temples of the world. It is the Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola, and, as the name would indicate, was erected by the Jesuit fathers. The ten years that elapsed between 1670 and 1880 were certain that was truly artistic crowned the effort of a decade. The exterior is neither imposing nor artistic, but it was upon the interior that effort was centered, and few structures in the world can boast of a more beautiful exterior. Practically the entire interior of the native hardwoods of the Philippine islands, that have been carved by master hands. A remarkable fact in connection with the work is that it was all done by natives. The designs were all made in the Philippines, and the men who so closely followed their models. This incident illustrates a peculiar truth in the Filipinos. They lack originality, but they are wonderful imitators. Give their carvers a model and they will duplicate to perfection. Let their painters see it, and they will reproduce it on their own instruments. Probably the most artistic piece of carving in the church is the pulpit. It is a massive affair affixed to one of the rail. On its sides are a series of pulvar rail. On its sides have been carved scenes deplaining important scriptural events. The pulpit has a beautifully carved base, and upon the side of the balustrade are the figures, and the figures have all been perfectly carved, and the wood is wonderful regard for detail. Proportions are perfect, and the effect is at once harmonious and artistic. A prodigious amount of labor was expended upon the carving of the Francisco Simo, one of the rectors of the church, whose direction much of the work has been done, relates that the carving of the base of the pulpit consumed two years, and that the balustrade occupied much of the pulpit, the ceiling, which is entirely carved wood, attracts the most attention. There are a series of intricate designs that show the genius of art and the skill of the carver, and the effect is admirable, columns, capitals and arches have also been columns, capitals and arches too, enhance the beauty of the chisel, the altara—one main and two side—are also of wood, and show splendid specimens of the skill of the carvers. The floor is also of wood, and the sheen of its lightness is brightened the general effect. Most of the wood is best of all the fifty varieties of hard wood that grow in the Philippines. It is capable of resisting any of the insects that attack wood, and neither heat nor water affects it. Steel is the only thing that affects wood, and the fashioning of it is very difficult, but the excellent results obtained make it worthy of the effort. The art of wood carving has long been taught to the Philippines, and the traveler in their work it has reached its highest perfection. The Jesuit college at Manila, and the work in the Jesuit church is incomparably the best so far done. Twenty-three years ago the students of the college sent an elaborate piece of carving to the Jesuit college of Boca Raton with it won first prize—San Francisco Chronicle. Beginnings of Greatness.

The cases involving the Kentucky governor, whose State's supreme court today, a brief judge appointed counsel for both Taylor and Beckham joined, was filed at the same time, asking for early hearing.

In face of such perturbing particulars it is natural to hear that his imperial majesty the suliman dumalik, the most famous of occurrence, which upsets all dulun Oriental decorum, and will be attributed universally by orthodox Turks to the deplorable decay of strict and proper views upon religion and morals and to the ever-appealing smile of Osmanik, or face veil, which used to make such shocking events all but impossible. But were they ever impossible? asks Sir Edwin Arnold in the London Daily Telegraph, having been moved to write a book about the lives of any better than hares or huts, ever keep out the little god who "laughs at locksmiths" and is stronger than all alums and fewer? If anybody desires to be a locksmith, may befall, even in the precincts of the august Yildir Yildir Kieke itself, and in spite of eunuchs, dunnies, dwarfs, guards, and jealous turbaned knanen, he needs only a life and manners, the immortal "Thousand and One Nights." As I myself came upon the distressing communication relied on the escapade of her too susceptible royal life, and the immortal me of a story which unobably describes REHSE DEWEY TO HIMSELF: DID I almost fact for fact the very way in which this last sadly subversive and regular affair happened. Then I took down from my book shelves a volume of "The All Laila," in Arabic, and another of the same title, translated, translation which J. C. Martinez made into French—the best version of the wonderful old world stories, to my mind, ever undertaken. Yen here is the book I read on, the 125d night, and entitled it with exhaustible Schaarzadee "The history of Ben-Bokar and the beautiful Schamennahar." If I bridge it here from these two essays—the original and the second—I will attempt to inform a faithful account of what has happened in those modern halls and alcove which have succeeded to the ancient ones without much real transforma- tion, the story, therefore, accurately rendered, though in some parts a little condensed. At Baghdad, under the reign of the Khalfah Haroun-al-Rashid, there lived Abul-Hassan Ben Tahir, a young merchant of the most fashionable of all the dealers in the grand bazaar. Thus he was chosen by the chief enchant of the palace to furnish the favorites with all articles, and the most fashionable of all the dealers had need, and these ladies trusted him to his good taste and discretion. He never failed to supply with refreshments the enchants and palace officers who called him, and presented them each time with gifts suitable to their middlesteers. Young Abul-Hassan became therefore almost adored by all the women and slaves of the palace, so of him, and showed him favor for his good manners and pleasant presence, and even accorded his free access to the palace night and day. Nay, since the Khalfah Haroun-al-Rashid gave the gifts in singing and reciting poetry, the who loved nothing better than a fine voice and graceful reputation. him more than once to the royal supper table to eat and drink, and to make Arabic verses. So the shop of Abu-Hulai, in natural course always full of well-behaved enemies of enirs and dignitaries, and of ladies to buy goods and ornaments in their vells, wives of nobles and chamberlains. One of the most frequent attendants the young air, of good birth and of handsome form, will, at Bon-Behar, it was common to have he royal blood in his veins. Of a charming carriage, his chests were bright and fresh as rose leaves his eyebrows and white as pearls, and his speech grew and melodious. He was, moreover, a poet, and no mean one. One day when this young man was seated in the shop beside his friend, the man saw arrive at the door and laughing, they saw arrive at the door and young ladies, beautiful in shape and cent moon, surmounting an eleventh lady, who was mounted on a mule harness with stamped velvet housings and fittings and a large ring, who was robed in an inar of rose silk, waist by a silken circle, bordered with gold five fingers broad and studded with large pearls and other jewels. Her county veil was partly hidden by a gauze vell, though the velvet, her eyes sparkled like stars. Her eyes the delicious' color and softness of the ostrich egg, and her biennially dressed, loaded with diamonds, were as if carved into shells. Her form and figure gave to the eagle a vision of fondness, looseness. Not being shy in Hassan Hassan's shop, the lovely creature rushed her well a little the better to see the goods displayed. But no sooner did the young poet, All Ben Bekar, catch sight of that lovely visage than he was filled with an admiration DEWEY PRESTONING BOOK EVER OCCUR TO YOU, GEORGE, THAT CHICKENS? with a passion never before experienced. Out of decorum he had risen upon her entrance as though to depart, but he had upon her ads noted his grace and kindness, and his sudden and irresistible emotion, so she laid to the merchant, with an adorable, accent, at the same time sweetly smiling. Let me not be the cause of the customers. I pray, thee to invite this young man, "remember." Words so gracious enchanted the ears of All Ben-Betul. Obliged to say something, he bowed low and murmured, with a lofty, o lady of all hearts! If I mands to you a sense from fear of seeing bold, but also being in gaturing upon there came to my mind those lines of the poet: Look at them with love on the moon? she dwells in the heights beyond mountains. Thine to reach her with wings; or that she will stop from her state there? When the lady heard these lines repaired of gentle despair, she was pleased to meet her, softly whispered, and moved by the passionate air of the poet. Thus "twas that she cast on him a long regard of sympathy, and then, making a sign for the merchant to see, softly whispered: "Who is this young man and whence cometh he?" "He is All Ben-Betay," quoth the dealer of a noble foreign race, and is as honorable as he is kindness. He is also my dear friend. "Truly he do please me," he replied. "Beg now, Abut Hassan, if after my departure, I send one to bid them and him together. I would love to be tended to. I would have him know that there are in Baghdad chambers as splendid, and ladies as courteous, and dancers as skilled, and music as moving as any in the land he cometh from." And he said, "I will do as much as I can to mute eyes and on mins head." On this the beautiful young lady replaced her vel with care, and went forth from the shop, leaving behind her from her gar- the knail! On all believing himself himself transient, Allen believed a humble woman of the humble man is beautiful beyond the tongue of man to describe. But the little slave afforded him no time to express admiration, for, striking her hands one against the other with a great gold gild upon her hands, with a great gold gild upon her hands, with roast mortars and confectionary and fruit, which also set down upon an inlid knail. The amniol of stone, gold with perfumed wafer, and give them embroidered flowers, pouring from a glove of chased gold embroiled with rubis and EASTERN DEMOCRACY T IT TAKES A FARMER TO RAISE All Ban-Beelor for some time could not pure poojaapurje jo courthouse can symm diamonds, and full of rose water, with which she had been a teacher after she brought them ascence of aloe blossom in a crystal mask with which she perfumed their garments. This done, she opened the door, and, praying to follow her into a praying room, she could see the sun. It was indeed a hall rooftop with a dome sustained by twenty-four pillars of pure transparent alabaster, the bases and capitals being carved, with a most subtle art. The sections of the dome were delicately beaded with gold. In the vacant spaces stood great cups and vases cut in jasper, agate and crystal full of flowers and this hall opened by a pavement of pretty monolith work like the pattern of a carpet into a garden and bright and fragrant under the blue sky. And there in the garden All and his friend perceived sitting in a circle ten young girls, with black eyes and rosy cheeks, each of them holding a stringed instrument, and slaves these struck up together a prelude of such sweetness that tears came into the eyes of the young poet. Then breaking with, with voices and strings and silver fambourines they chanted this strain: Bry be glad! the Moon and Sun Bry be glad! Drop thy well of cloud, fair Moon! He thou lovest, rises soon! Drop thy well of cloud, fair Moon! Lost by the herb best outdoors. And again: Look, delighted eyes! and see Come to greet the Sun, who pays her respects. Herewith the poet, who proudly himself called "the sun," saw with coytitude twelve young, negresses approach, who bore upon their shoulders a chair of glitter, and who, in the midst of the sun, was seated a lady, covered with a silk well from head to foot. The black girls, with bare lips and golden cloats round their waists and head, furnished, with their silver chair and the rose-colored vell, an effect to dazzle the beholder. The chair was set down in the garden, and then a white hand parted the draperies and showed the lovely face and form of chameleon. She was dressed in a royal gold and broidered with seed pearls and sparkling gems. At the moment of laying aside her mantle the princess completely removed her vell and made smiling salutations. Then she gave signs to the singers, and of them, touching her-rabbit, softly sang: O Fate! when fond hearts meet, drawn thus It is the fault or the misuse of me, you happy lovers, take and give the kiss. Thus in the story goes on the exchange of melodious allusions and accompaniments, until the fair princess sinks into the water, the poet, Abel Hassan having, discreetly reentry, tendants continuing to dance and sing around the enamored pair. By and by, when the first emotions are calmed, there is an exquisite collation spread, with more cakes and sweets than cakes and sweet dishes on the pearled stool, the princess, with her own fingers, chooses delicate maces and places them between the lips of Nedjim, that is to say, of All Ben-Bekan" and then they wash their hands in water scented with music, upon saucers of vermilion, filled with golden wine, all going gaily, with fresh music and singing, until suddenly the frightened slaves ruh in and report that Maourou Aff and the enchucks of the people are coming to announce the approach of the brilliant danger scene is broken up and much confusion and apprehension. Something very much like this must have been occurring, it is to be feared, at the heart of the between the impulsive princess and the queen, the aspiring French in some unexpected way, at the dallas' shop, or by the sweet waters, the All Ben-Bekar of to-day and the Schamann palace have met and found their destiny, and the enduring ending in the ancient story by which I have here attempted to illustrate the modern incident. FILIPINO WOOD CARVERS. Evidences of Their Beautiful Work in a Manila Church. There stands in the old walled city of Manila a church whose rare beauty should win it a place among the famous temples of the world. It is the Church of the Sacred Heart, whose name would indicate was erected by the Jesuit fathers. The ten years that elapsed between 1879 and 1889 were consumed in its construction, and a succession of churches was built over a decade. The exterior is neither imposing nor artistic, but it was upon the interior that effort was centered, and few structures in the world can boast of the craftsmanship of the church. Practically the entire interior is done in the native hardwoods of the Philippine islands, that have been carved by master hands. A remarkable fact in connection with the architecture of the natives. The designs were all made in Europe, but every credit is due to the workmen who so closely followed their models. The churches in the Philippines. They lack originality, but they are wonderful imitators. Give their carvers a model and they will duplicate to perfection. Let their painters see it. They will reproduce it on their own instruments. Probably the most artistic piece of carving in the church is the pulpit. It is a massive affair affixed to one of the giant sides are a series of panels on it. On its sides are a series of panels on which have been carved scenes depicting important scriptural events. The pulpit has a beautifully carved base, and upon the base a balustrade are the figures of saints. The pulpit is perfectly carved, and there has been wonderful regard for detail. Proportions are perfect, and the effect is at once artistic and artistic. A prodigious amount of wood has been placed upon the pulpit. The Rev. Father Franks, one of the rectors of the church, under whose direction much of the work has been done, relates that the carving of the pulpit consumed two years, and that it was nearly as much time. Next to the pulpit, the ceiling, which is entirely of carved wood, attracts the most attention. There are a series of intricate designs that show the genius of art and the skill of craftsmanship. The columns, capitals and admirable. The columns, capitals and admirable. have also been done in wood, and they, too, enhance the beauty of the church. The altars—one main and two side are also of wood, and show splendid speculations. The floor is also of wood, and the floor is polish serves to heighten the general effect. Most of the wood used is malle, best of all the fifty varieties of hard wood that grow in the Philippines. It is the wood that attack the insects that attack wood, and neither the water affects it. Steel is the only thing that will outlast it. It is so hard that the fashioning of it is very difficult, but the excellent results obtained make it worthy of the effort. The art of wood, Philippines, and the traveler in their islands sees many samples of their work. It has reached its greatest perfection at the Jesuit college at Manila, and the work in the Jesuit church is incomparable. Years ago the students of the college sent an elaborate piece of carving to the centennial exposition at Philadelphia, and with it won first prize—San Francisco Chronicle. Beginnings of Greatness. The man in the for-trained overcoat, who had returned, stared at the book of thirty years, to his book of books. He took my letter. It was here I laid the foundation, and then I began to write.

Oom Pauls Alleged Christian Policy Denounced, with Prisne for Gen. Joubert-The Natives Absolutely Without Any Political Rights. The shocking brutality of the Boers in their treatment of the black race in South Africa is described in a letter just received by the Indianapolis superintendent, G. H. Agnew, an American missionary, the Rev. Mr. Agnew has been in the Transvail for fifteen years and left Johannesburg at the outbreak of the war. He gives the reasons of the blacks for sympathizing with the British in the following timely letter, which also throws additional light on the reports that President Kruger has deposed Gen. Joubert and why: "Enquenubi, Near Harding, Natal, Southeast Africa, Feb. 7, 1900. We are opening a new mission station here near Mt. Kilimanjaro, miles south of our mission at Fairview. A great war is raging here in South Africa. Already thousands have been landed, and the end is not yet. The Booth mission, and we have been forced to leave our work in the Transvaal for the time before we are a question of who shall be dominant in the new colony. We arelish. Boer domination would mean slavery for the colored race. Whatever the poor natives have ground under the attack of oppression. People talk much about the plight of the natives, Ged-zearing, etc., but missionaries, have labored in their country, know the plight of the natives. Ged-zearing has lately tended to make a new mission, or about 100 natives still not exceed 10,000. "Under a Boer government, at least in the colonies, the most important persons have absolutely no political power, hold property, cannot engage in business, have absolutely nothing to do, no vote, and have absolutely nothing to do in the diplomatic or governmental affairs. In the colonies, the most important persons can hold property, can business for themselves, and, uncerious, can be free from the prohibition, in all the British colonies colored people, leewed to walk on the sidewalk; in the colonies, the most important persons can be prohibited, and the punishment for a person who violates the law were—five fine, or fifteen lashes, or bath, or five green nails, in ignorance of the law; and for walking a few steps a day, mercifully for walking a few steps a day, plagging a native to death was public punishment, read (or senate chamber), by Smuts, or be a senate attorney of the Transvaal, to be his deputy. "I do not remember of hearing of a white man in the Transvaal or of a punitive native. Even policemen, in broad daylight, will pound natives unmercifully, but the police by whites are punished, and many of them have flogged two native girls to death. He their kidneys protruded. Two other girls delay he was sentenced to two years prison when hard labor. As this happened in prison about a week case, where two Boers deliberately until they broke both jaws, until they broke both jaws, ants were discharged. In still another case, when death, the "landstro" remarked to the murderer, who was a rich man, that as a general affair, he would have to fife him $250. "At our marshalist's court in Volksburg, we were mercifully. Flozing was their daily portion. They were lashed for the smallest of offenses, but other compounds, for belux outside them, came to us for medicine, with a mass of a raw flesh, and we realized that commanded by the government of the country, our respect for Boerism was not satisfied. We were sent as the Boers serve out to the nation as the Boers serve out to the nation as the South African colonies. "Individual British colonists occasion-ation of individuals as individuals" Boer do. That is, there are some bad English and some good Boer; there is absolutely no comparison. It is not absolutely no comparison. In South African fibres are hostile to African fibres. The Bausatons armed to the teeth, have appealed to the British government to send them to Boer territory. The Zului, who, if they had seen grievances against the British government, would haveunity of redressing their wrongs, are, strange to say, British to the core and anxious to take part in the campaign against the Dutch. In all my visiting of the Dutch, I have had a good coming across one a good word from Boer. Why is this? Simply because we are the chief planks in the Boer platform is and relentless cruelty to colored people. Another fact in regard to the Trans-Alaska military official, from President Paul A. Allen down to the latest recruit of the police, is that the dynamic monopolies have full control over the production, law, and the prosecution, law, and the thou-ness are supplied with liquor, the eyes or the hands of the officers by brikes. Every Sunday, from the cannery of natives, streaming out in outxicators, while government officials perks up the workforce, made of some individual who has not made of some individual who has not from that the whisky kings openly defy the law and the bribed officials dare not Defective Page privileges under Boer government, I can only say in their behalf, as one who loves Paul and Boer domination and gross injustice, Good Lord deliver us.

What is sauce for the goose ought to be sauce for the gander. Winnie Smith, an Afro-American, has just brought suit against the Louisville & Nashville Railroad company for violation of the separate coach law. The plaintiff says that on April 3 she boarded one of the defendant's traps at Bardstown, being a first-class passenger. She took a seat in the "colored coach" and several white men entered the coach with a string of fish. She says they smoked, drank whisky and cursed, and that her protests were ignored by the conductor and other employees. It is bad enough for Afro-Americans to be compelled to pay first-class fare and then be compelled to ride in the miserable coaches which are provided for them, without being subjected to the further indignities which are heaped upon them by unprincipled, unmannerly brutes, who choose to force their presence upon them. Bishop Handy, the venerable presiding officer of the Virginia conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, in session at Norfolk, Va., created a sensation last week by announcing he had received letters making charges of drinking, dishonesty and immorality against several of the teachers then on the conference door. He said he would place the entire matter in the hands of an investigating committee and that the guilty teachers need expect no quarter, that's right. These moral lepers should take the beams out of their own eyes, before they should be allowed to undertake to get the motes out of others eyes. When the present war broke out in the Transvaal we had considerable sympathy for the Boers, as we felt they are fighting for their rights, but when we learned more of their history, such as we furnish on our first age today, we changed. England may be wrong in this matter, but the Boers deserve to be kicked for their fatality to the natives, and we hope England will give it to them. We have received of Prof. Booker. Washington a splendid lithograph of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute at Tuskegee, Ala. It is a very handsome piece of work and gives one an excellent idea of the magnitude of the institution of which he and all of us may well be proud. Entire System Consists of a Single Line of Ancient Pattern. The fact that the entire railway system of the Philippine islands at present consists of a single line of antiquated pattern, having a length of less than 125 miles, gives some idea of the neglect of this economic form of travel and transportation under the long Spanish regime, says Cassier's Magazine. The road intersects the rich peninsula northwest of Manila and connects that city with Dagupan, a town on the east coast of the island of Linon, which will eventually become the largest station on the coast, length of the line is 122 miles. The gauge is three feet six inches, and the ties are of the finest hardwood, obtained from the forests along the line. On the entire length there are sixty iron bridges. As compared with the fairly substantial character of the roadbed, the rolling stock is very light. In speed and capacity the locomotives are insignificant, being of less than ten tons burden. The usual speed from fifteen to twenty miles per hour, the army troops took possession their rolling astonished the natives, the speeds being frequently doubled. Compartment coaches are used, and these are divided into three classes or apartments, each apartment seating eight passengers. The few first-class coaches are provided with comfortable cane chairs, while the second-class apartments have rough wooden benches and the third class are bare and are usually crowded with natives carrying baskets and bundles of all description, most of them of eight or ten carriages, most of them third class, and the fare ranges from two to five cents, Mexican, per mile. The bulk of the freight new car is being made up of rice, sugar, hemp and building material, and the rates on all classes of traffic are considerable. CHINESE EMPRESS Flayed in a Pamphlet Written by s Young Reformer. The reason the Empress Dowager of China has offered a reward of 100,000 taels for Kang Wu Yel is that this bold young reformer recently published and circulated extensively through Her Majesty's domains a pamphlet of a most outrageous nature. It was devoted exclusively to the career and character of the venerable empress, and purported to be an accurate biography, and purported to be of every virtue, crims in the calendar of her murder and treason to petard larceny, and was both insulting and indecent in its language. This of course is an unparadonable sin, and Kang must pay for his audacity with his life sooner or later. Since he fled from the palace at Peking, at a warning from the emperor himself, on the night when the empress resumed power, he has had several marvelous escapes. He has twice stood in the presence of officers who were searching for him. Once his attention was drawn to the British officials, and he is now supposed to be living under British protection somewhere in the East Indies. He has been driven out of Hongkong and Japan, and came over to Vancouver last year, when it was supposed that he would seek protection either in the United States or Canada; but it appears that his only object in visiting Vancouver was to publish his attack upon the Empress and to make sure that he would not it to any printer in China. There are many treasonable secret societies and Chinese exiles in British Columbia and on the Pacific Coast of the United States who are supposed to have contributed money to pay for the printing. Kang could not visit the United States because of the exclusion law, but he found everything he wanted in Vancouver. Not only has he a reward been offered for his capture, dead or alive, but also for the tombs of his ancestors razed to the ground, which is the severest punishment that can be inflicted upon a Chinese gentleman, because the graves of the dead are the most sacred possessions of the living—Washington Cor.-Chicago Record.

The vas dark.—Fun. girl had slipped away from every care and was out in the fields delighting in the first faint flush of dawn and the pure air on her cheek. It had been a long while since Margaret had been out of doors. There was such joy in every step that she could not stop with the fields, but kept on down the road until she bells were ringing with gladness for Easter morning, and the children were carrying flowers to church. Margaret entered softly and took her old place in the dim corner, facing the window pictured with the story of Mary in the garden. How good it seemed to be there! The altar cloth was glistening white, A woman is helping a man put on a shirt. OUR CHILD IS GIVEN BACK. the dim ales are sweet with the perfume of lilies that filled the chancel, a few silent workspirits knelt at their feet, and the head with thoughts as pure and sweet with gratitude as the breath of the flowers. Now as she knelt in the quiet of that holy place, Margaret wondered to hear with the chiming bells, soft silvery strains of music, such as were never heard before, to feel the touch of a gentle hand laid on her hair. She looked up to see the beams of the morning sunshine stream- ing down upon her and the stained window palpitating with glorious light and color, but wonderl—as she looked again the stained window was no longer there at all; instead opening before her on every side was a lovely garden. "This is too good to be true," she cried, rising in a kind of rapture as she felt the soft balm of the garden air in her face. "Nothing is too good to be true," said a voice at her side, but Margaret could not discover any one. "What is it?" she asked in the garden? Margaret asked of herself, thinking of her poor, shabby dress, faded and patched, which she was always glad to hide in the dim corner of the aisle. But as Margaret, doubting, asked this question, the sun shining upon her dress, showed it to be glistening white as the altar cloth and the lilies in the garden, her coated eyes were on her hands to her eyes to see if she were awake or dreaming, but every moment the vision grew more radiant. The broad stream of light now appeared a pathway along which angel children were passing to and fro, and they smiled on Margaret and embraced her and drew her tender with their love. "Margaret, dear little sister! We are so glad you are here! Have you come to stay with us?" and they made music for her delight and showed her beauties of the garden past words to express, then went their way to appointed tasks. Then walked on in the garden, borne by a kind of winged cestasy rather than by any touch of her feet, she came upon the Gardener taking care of his garden, and He turned and looked at the girl. "Sir," entreated Margaret, falling upon her knees, "may I stay with you? May, help you take care of this garden?" "Margaret," said the Gardener, taking her by the hand—and then Margaret knew it had been His hand on her hair and His voice at her side. "You may help me, Margaret, in another garden. You may work for me in the garden of human hearts and cultivate and beautiful thoughts and make them grow." "But I am so tired of the old life—of the pain, the poverty, the hardship of it all!" and Margaret began to weep bitterly. "I cannot go back to the old life! My child, it is a new life I give unto you." "But I must leave you!" "I shall be with you always." "But we must leave this heavenly garden!" "Margaret, my child, the garden shall be where we are." It was in the old gray house at sunrise on Easter morning, that the father was saying with humble gratitude: "Thank God, our child is given back to us." "The Lord is merciful," sobbed the mother. "Blessed be His loving kindness." So Margaret was once more given health and strength, and as she went about her daily tasks the radiant vision of Easter was always present with her and these words were always singing to her heart: "A new life I give unto you—I am with you always—the garden shall be where we are." EASTER DAY. Clang! Clang! Clang! The penitential days are done, Jehovah's joy bells 'ring; And 'neath the glorious Easter sun We hail the Lord, our King! Clang! Clang! Clang! Op wings our spirits soar— In earnest words, in hymnal rhyme, In organ peal and beiflry chime We hear the story o'er! Clang! Clang! Clang! Christ rises once again— Perfection of creation's sum, Grand miracle of martyrdom, To free us from our pain! At Easter Breakfast It was at the Easter breakfast table, and little Mabel asked: "He's dyeing eggs," somebody responded. Mabel opened her eyes in wonder. "Do dying eggs come from dead chickens, mamma?" "Here, Jane, take away, this omelette," gasped, Mabel's father, "and broil me a bit of steak." Consumption in New York Attention has been drawn to the prevalence of consumption in New York by the report of the state board of health which shows that 12,367 persons died of consumption but that state last year. The board further states that there are 15,000 consumptives walking the streets of New York every day and endangering the lives of every one they pass.

CUR, Salts the Finet mazar: Whe Chester R.

St St Paul in 1802, went to school tn Bt tho last seventeen years hat been prom Inently deneited with the business de vvelorment of the city. His patents eam to this city by stage {n 1850.” For more than thirty years his father, Birdsey W. Smith, of the rm of Smith & Lewis, was ‘engaged fn the wood and coal business on Bast Seventh street Seventeen years ago Mr. Smith left the cofice of his father to embark im Dusinee for himseit tn the firm of Smith & Tay- Jor. ‘During that time he and la fir Rave bull up one of the largest rea ‘estate and loan businesses In the city, and have acauired property and bulldings tn all parts of the elty. ‘Theirs waa one of the important real estate firms. thet, through careful management and bust ness foresight, was ablo to weather the pane of 1892." During his years of bust hese activity Mr. Smith has been inter ceied in the construction of scores 6 Dulldings and houses tn different portions of the city, and there fe not a laboring man ever in his employ that tm not out shouting and ready to work for his elec tion. Chester R. Smith has not only. demon: strated to the people of Bt. Paul that he Dosserses the business ability that should make him a capable mayor, Dut has Proved himself to have rare’ executive ability He has been chairman of the Re- ‘publican tty and ounty organization uring the past two years, and it was Targely due to his energy and dlscern: ‘ment that the Repubilean tleket. was lected almost to a mana year ago last fall. He fo the first vice president of the ‘state agricultural association, and. in great measure responsible for the ex fellent showing made by the associa tion Inst fall. ‘The judges of the district court, ree ognizing the value of ‘bis good jude. ment and his interest in the affairs 6 the city, appointed Mr. Smith as one of the Afteen men to prepare & new charter for the city. He was one of the original advocates of the idea of placing the police department under the control of the board of police com. missioners and taking that department out of polities. To ‘him as much as any member of the charter comroission the adoption of the polles commission chapter is due. Since the chrater com- malssion was first organized there Das been scarcely @ meeting that Mr. Smith was not present For ‘nearly three months he has given, two. and three evenings a week of his time and jattention to preparing’ an ideal city charter. Mr. Suilth is a resident of the Bighth ‘ward, where he has resided for years with his wife and family of two boys. ‘He went into the campaign at the so Heltation of friends, who believed that he would be selected, no ‘matter how many cindidates there might be in the eld. He and his friends were not anti-any one, he made no plédges and Jexpects to enter upon the duties of his ‘office unhampered. Foutien Forts. DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER ‘TO-DAY, LAST DAY. POLLS OPEN FROM 6 A.M. TO SPM IF YOU DON'T REGISTER YOU CAN'T VOTE. ‘The Democrats are sald to have col- Jonized a large number of illegal vot- fers, Watch out for them on election day and don’t let them vote. It isa penitentiary offense to vote illgally: P. J. Quint, the candidate for the dis- trict east of Wabasha street, was ‘chosen two years ago to the same posi- tion and his re-election is assured, ‘William P. Fountain, who is the Sixth ‘ward candidate, is making-a campaign which Is sure to end in success in the ‘word where he is best known. He is thouroughly reliable and competent and will make a capable official. Arthur Caines, Jr., who was chosen ‘as the Republican nominee for the po- sition of constable west of Wabasha street, Is an active, successful young man, and he is hustling for the whole ticket just as he has hustled to estab- lish himself in the business world. He is one of the most widely known and popular young Republicans of the city, having been prominently tdentified with the organization for some years Auigust Pitzer ts proving himself as /a good campaigner when his own in- terests are at stake, as he has been for these many years in the interest of Republican candidates and Republican prineiples generally. Few men have a wider acquaintance than the Repub- Hucan candidate for the city treasurer- ship or are held in higher regard by their friends. Mr. Fitzer has entered into this contest with the same earn- estness that has always characterized his efforts in polities, and is making votes every day, not only for himself, but for the ticket trom top to bot: tom, ‘The approaching election finds the Republican committee and candidates working in thorough harmony with each other, and everything in excellent shape for the round-up May 1. Every ‘man on the ticket is hustling for the whole ticket as well as for himself, and the most encouraging reports are re- ceived daily and nightly from the dif- ferent wards, Chester R. Smith is in- creasing the size of his majority with jevery day of his campaign, gaining votes as fast as he gains friends and /acquaintanees throughout the city. As the voters meet him face to face they realize that he is a straightforward, frank business man, who has nothing in his personal or business record to conceal, while he has the prestige of success in his previous undertakings. Our first advice fs, a5 Republicans, to vote the Republican ticket straight. But if there should be some candidate on the ticket you do not care to vote for, just let him alone and don’t vote for his opponent. Whatever you do, however, vote for Chester R. Smith Jand the chartre. VOTE FOR ‘CHESTER R. SMITH AND FOR THE CHARTER, WHAT- EVER YOU DO. ‘There will be only one more chance for dilatory voters to get thelr names jon tho registration lists, and that will be TO-DAY. The Judges will be on hand from 6 in the morning till 9 at night, thus affording ample time for Jany voter who does not forget his duty. All who forget, or neglect thelr duty ‘will he shut out of particfpation in the election, as the law makes absolutely /no exceptions to this rule. With 10,000 Voters $0 far unregistered, there is work ahead if a proper showing is to be made on the last day. | PR a a i Netsow’s STRAIGHTINE Hvar s BEFORS ALTER” i \ : e \ ja. - .

An examination made yesterday of ‘the registration In. the Second, Third, Fourth and Fitth pre- cinets of the Fourth ward showed that Out of 439 names registered on the ‘two days of registration, 259 were new jones that had never before appeared upon the ists of those — precinets, While all of the new names are not ‘those of persons improperly reg'stered, the investigators belleve that many of the mate. ‘They have unearthed some suspicious cases and do not propose ‘to stop prosecutions with the arrest of Michael Devitt, tte former Democratic Policeman, who is in custody op the charge of’ ilegal registration.

However, as the meeting lasted juntit midnight, many came there, atter the show, and the house was’ com- pletely filled. ‘The first speaker was Alderman William Donahower, who gave an excellent talk. Ho was tol. lowed by Alderman J. W. Shepard, F. D. Parker, Charles S Hoff, Frank i Baker, J. Q. Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Arthur Caines, John H. Dillingham, J. Blackburn, James Woodfork and others. ‘The speakers all ‘made en- couraging addresses, which were well received. Late in the evening the next Mayor ot St. Paul, Choster R.
