The major, standing near, nodded his head approving, but said nothing. The surgeon in his note book, for while the supplies naked form of the boy had excited his admiration, the veteran's practiced eye had detected in it the one quality that a soldier should not have. He had passed the boy because he had met the few recruits he had seen, because those regulations gave him no power to exercise discretion of the sort that was demanded by that particular case. He shook his head wisely and remarked: "Yes, his spirit is of the right sort, but I fear that his nerves will never stand the strain. He's balanced as an officer and will match. The turn of a hair wiltremake." As for the boy—a train took him to Tampa with his regiment, and when the fleet of transports raised the Santiago hills the boy was in the line of khaki-clad ships, with the fleet of the ships, watching with ill-concealed excitement the land he felt would either be his last resting place on earth or else the field of his glory. Slowly the mistery of the ships was revealed in a definite shape. Then the blue of those hills turned green, and at last the rugged, wooded shore lay but a mile or two over the bow. And the boy at the ship's rail gave himself up wholly to the glorious view of the sea, within him from the moment of the first alarm of war, awaiting but the sight of those hills to run riot through his brain. Had he been a fellow to the dull-witted terrorist at his side he would have cheered him out of the way, in the rattle of the anchor chain through the haspsewie as the transport came to a stop; but he was of a different fiber. He knew not that the deck lay in the water, clutched in a vice-like grip in his two hands. He knew only that the time had come that those hills meant death or glory—maybe both—and ever the blue of the sea. He tangleled on the shore were lost in the visions that danced before his mind's eye. "Would they never land? Would they never march, nort, fight, nor do aught but be a man, nor do aught but be a man, nor do the sea" he asked himself and the next him his-hundle-time and time again, in the delay that preceded the landing. How did not know, nor did he seem to tenda to an ox. He knew no fever of impatience. The boy did not know why, but his frame held a universe of surcharged wires and every minute of that hour he was an age. At last the orders came, but not to his ship. Other regiments were landed first. For hours the boats plied between the fleet and the shore. Soon the faint rain had stopped, and the men took his ears. Volleys came next and the green woods above the spot where the boats touched took on a tinge of blue over their green. The fight was on-only the men were on the ground, maybe, and the ladder was not there. By and by, his ship's turn came and the boats were clustered on the water about its gangways. His troop was assembled and the time came for him to follow the ladder. The enemy had fallen, he dropped his rifle when but half way down the ladder's length. His bunkle next him snuckered, his officers swore, but the arm had dropped into the boat and the incident was swallowed up in the How the had got ashore, as far as he knew, was this: There was a long pull over the water, a tossing and flinging of the boat through the surf and its boats crunched upon the sandy shore. There were many trees. There was much that needed doing because one had no time to do it. There was more that had to be undone because some one had done it wrong, and then there was a weary march through those woods along a narrow, rocking, stiff path. The physical suffering that attacked the lad then and he thanked God for it, for the vague fear of madness that presages the flight of reason had swept through his mind, and for the first time in those rolling ages of mind he felt the stunt of the taller men beside him strained the aching tendons of his legs. How the weight of his haversack and cartridge belt and gun tortured his upper frame. Why did the men beside him, who knew only the sense of physical suffering, drop the whitefaced and gaping in the trail? That was about the last that he knew of the march, for instinct he bade him shut off the wires to his brain and he obeyed. Henceforth he walked on, a mind asleep, neither hearing, nor feeling. His eyes were closed, and he loaded his gun. Then, when he had actually opened his eyes in the gloom about him he saw on either side and before him and behind him his comrades lying prone. He dropped among them and waited. Then came the battle at La Guasmas. A shot and then a volley began. "Oh God!" cried a stricken man beside him. "Ha-a-a-h!" sigged another and lay still. It was his bunkie. still. It was his bunkie. "Z-z: it was" went a bullet past the boy's head. And then turning the muzzle of his rifle toward the foe, he emptied it of ammunition. He then shot the shells remained in his belt. These he placed in his rifle, but the fight was over and he picked himself up out of the mire and stepped carefully over the prostrate forms about him and joined the nearest man. He then gored a gade rode by shouting orders to his colonels. The lad's own colonel passed also, but the lad only stood there, now and then glancing curiously at the silent form of his bunkie, and alternately passing fingers delicately along his empty belt. He shot so many bullets. He counted them. He shot them. Was that lying in the jungle pumping, pumping, pumping flame and bullets at an unseen foe, battle and glory? It was not that of which he had dreamed. Could he have killed any of his fellows? He could have killed any of his brothers. "How many did you kill?" he said to a soldier near him. No reply came and the said, as if he were addressing THE APPEAL. dead: "Would I feel the weight of having killed were I to know how many?" And the man nearest him stepped away with a feeling of aversion in his heart. The boy had spoken those words which most men dare only to think, and that not too often, he made was over and the troops were to camp on the field. The others spread their shelter tents and the boy did likewise. When night came all slept except the boy, the pickets and the men cared for him, and that cared this boy, fresh from his baptism. There was no pain in his body to put his mind to sleep, and he wandered from point to point, now helping to pick up and bear to his grave some man whose face he knew, now pondering over that unsolvable problem, standing alone, ever fingering the emptiness of the land, and found him doing volunteer sentry duty between a rock and a plantation tree beside the trail. Then came the breakfast. It was his first meal, and he had lived in many campages through in his mind's wild life that he perform muttered: "Again? That everlasting bacon!" and turned away to work at his problem anew, or, as he strode off, to him with fear, or, as he strode off, to what was becoming mad, and they knew it. Again came a march through more jungle, now with the rain pouring upon him, now with the sun making his clinging horse, until the hide of a sawening horse, until the hide of his legs and back again, and his mind, still obedient to the demands of his body, shut itself in and the pain outs into once more. It might have been a thousand nights that he had to walk the other day in camp came, more bacon more rain and more heat, but all that the boy knew was that some one was delaying. While the others rested he pace ceaselessly to and fro on the outskirts of the camp, and he walked through the rank, quivering undergrowth: his activity caught the eye of his colonel, who, not understanding, complimented him in this generous way and passed on. Then night came again. The man was still frightening, freeting at his inactivity brought back to the lad's mind his old problem. Then the ammunition was brought along and his cartridge belt was filled once more. After that the problem was not how many shots he had to fire before his fire the army should get into the real battle in the open day. But there was less tangible to think of in this question than the other one, and his hand was still utter the several orders of the charge. At length the army halted and the boy fell to the ground from the pains in his legs and the dreadful heat. While he lay thinking some one pulled roughly at his sleeve and a hand was clapped over his mouth. "We are to move for the attack," a voice said in his ear. "Silence is the order!" Then followed another weary march in the darkness, through mud and water knee deep, and when the gray light of that chame it found the boy standing in the dark, and the trail before him and a mule or so of his fellows stretching away behind him. Ahead of him, where the trail led, the Jungle end, the Heat came down the trail and a maddening thirst possessed him, for the fettled odors arising from the seeking mould had filled him with a fever. Unconciously he struggled for the mass of blood he had to about him when a stray trooper showed himself in the open and instantly the Spanish army, lying in their trenches beyond, opened a murderous fire. It had been the twitching of a finger to do it, and when the crash of the volley and the patterning of the bullets in the trees came, the boy's reason fed. Maybe it was this of the too sudden realization of those who had been in the darkness, who will know just how it was, for that instant every man in the line gathered his strength against the shock, daring not to think. The boy who had been, in the darkness, was to be, and in his stead meet a dame. "Charge!" he screamed, and then his hand seized the grip of the pistol at his belt. One he heard him then nor did any one see him, so unhindered he placed the gun in his hand, and then of a man in the next face before him and fired. Then he flung the smoking pistol in his captain's face and dashed out of the line into the face of the Spanish fire shrieking and laughing as he went. "That man is a murderer, fire!" shouted the captain, but not a rifle in the ranks spoke. "Fire!" said a grizzled sergeant upon whose cheek the blood of the dead man ran red and warm. And the captain turned away to hide his shame, the moment's fortune and stacked their rifles. They raised the quivering body of their comrade in their arms and bore it into the bushes beside the trail. Reverently they laid it upon the dank moss and drew the battered hat over the dead ranks. "Z-z-x-k" sang a little bullet, as it sped past the faces of the file and found a resting place in the heart of the grizzled sergeant. Him, too, the file laid on the moss, and, placing the rifles of the two men, left them there. Then the file grabs their rifles again and stood in the ranks. An officer in the front had seen the mad youth dash out of the cover and brave the fire alone and scarcely had the ranks been raised before they felt a victim the imminent attack. The column bounded forward, bending and swaying like a flying cobweb, and made the open. Up the hill after a madman they plunged up until the smoke of the Spanish powder was gone. Until the enemy had fed and Old Glory waved upon the hilltop. Then the shattered column rested, on their arms and blew the smell of battle from their nostrils. When the day was over, the line of unblinking tropical stars, thought of the madman and wondered where he was. And he? God only knows how, but he made the charge unharmed, and even then was wandering through the jungle, later when the army on the hilltop had leashed the water on the distant shore was stirred by the feet of a boy. It was the mad- ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 11.1900 LI HUING CHANG KWANG SU. PRINCE TUAN KWANG SU THE DIPPEDITION OF CHINA AS A CHILD. N the blood-red dawn that comes out of the water, it is one figure that looms into sudden direful prominence N the blood-red dawn that "comes up like thunder outer China 'crost the bay,' there is one figure that looms into suddenly afraid and another that shrinks into lamentable and mysterious nothiness. The first of these is Prince Tuan, head of the Boxer movement. The second is Kwang Su, the boy emperor of China. Who is he? He is the instrument of destiny? Where is the emperor, and is he dead or alive? These are questions to which all Christendom in arms awaits an answer. Prince Tuan is a newcomer on the stage of international affairs. He is a man of international developments point to the conclusion that in China he is "The Man on Horseback." What manner of man he is that commands the horses who have established a reign of terror in China? The very mystery of making his personality, his ambition, his aim to the fascination and the terror that his name already inspires in the civilized world. Two things about man are certain. He is of royal blood and he would exteren- ture foreigners. Beyond that all is darkness. The watchword with which he inspires the fanatical hosts under him—is an inver- LI HUNG CHANG GAR sion of the cry that thrilled California to not a few years ago. It is. "China for the Chinese!" That is the abstract idea, "China drives the foreign devils into the sea!" It is thus that Prince Tuan, brother of the late emperor and uncle of the sickly young emperor whose fate is in doubt, says that he has mustered under his bloody standard. But what end does he see? asks the New York World. Does he honestly believe that he can prevail against the emperor? He really a bigoted patriot fighting sincerely for a cause he believes to be righteous? Or is he a scheming pretender lusting for the throne and ignorant of the truth? Can he bring to bear against him? These are things to that Europe and America have yet to be informed upon. They have no means of gauging Prince Tuan's strength or two ago the man was unknown. He had done nothing to draw attention to himself, nothing to indicate the potentialities of mischief and murder that lurked in the city. That would hold a horrified world at bay. Prince Tuan is the son of the fifth Prince Tien of the house of Tuwangk. He is about forty years old. He is the father of Pu-Chun, the boy of fourteen who was named as successor to the throne in the remarkable edict issued by the Emperor Kwang Su last January. It was when that edict was cabled all man of the charge. He paused a moment as the cool wind blew across his forehead and the water laved his sides, and then, maybe, the demon of madness left him. He was in the water, water, water, sea and sky seemed commingled, lay the lights on the transport fleet. He was not mad then, and plunging into the water he swam outward. A mule that had broken from the train that day and taken to the water, spied the mule and placed his hand upon its neck and the two swan on together, seeking a refuge in the night. A sentry pacing the deck of one of the transports, spiced the two in the water. At the ship's side hung an owl, and deserted his post and drew his fellow man from the water. The sentry thought this refuge a deserter, and moved with caution. The mule, when left alone, winnited softly once and then swam away. The lad lay in a bunk below deeps, while the sentry paced his beat as before. At last peace came, and one night the boy lay beside his fellows again, silent and unconscious of the change. The ship and waves strange phantasms played through his brain. He listened to the rushing of the water beyond the darkness that had swallowed him up, but understood it. He then moved to him; then the life that was past, the present and the life to come, and none brought him a sensation. Sounds and Christendom was first directed to Prine Tuan. No small curiosity was felt in his personality, but not much could be about him. After he had hated foreigners, it was insistentomen that his son, designated to become the next emperor of China, was under the instruction and influence of two intensely anti-foreign tutors. It was learned, furthermore, that Prince Tuan was the emperor of the secret societies known as "The Great Swamp and 'The Boxers', which had been responsible for the murder of Mr. Brooks, the missionary, and the influence of which extended over the provinces of Chili, Shaungtung and Honan. This was at a time when boxers of European movement was first beginning to execlare. One thing more Christendom knows about Prine Tuan. He is an athlete. He keeps his body in a condition of perfect health. He is a boxer and is suading the young men of China to follow the same course. This in part accounts for his influence. Beginning as an athletic leader, he became successively a political and martial leader. The Boxers were athletes before they became assassins. As for the Emperor Kwang Su, he never at any time been more than a fly HYANG SU. INCE TIAN on the throne, a puppet in the hands of the king. He is a son of the seventh Prince Chung of the house of Tukwang, and therefore a nephew of the late emperor, Tung Chee. Tung Chee was completely unaware of the second slave-wife of the Emperor Hienfung, seven monarch in the present dynasty of Tsing. He was a military in China for an emperor to name his successor, Tung Chee toward the close of his short, wild life named the infant Kwang Su. This was the empress dowager's choice. She seized the throne and took the slickest of her nephews. She had ruled her husband, she had ruled her son, she means to rule a third emperor. The edict of last January pointed to the conclusion of the war, but from what Prince Tung has shown of his mottle it seems likely that if his son ever comes to the throne of China he will be doing some ruling on his own account. But then no one knows that he and the empress dowager have not been playing into each other's hands. Kwang Su, at all events, has led a miserable life. "He was a slave, a slave of liberty. He succeeded to the throne he was only four years old. From that moment he was a prisoner in the imperial palace at Peking. The empress dowager administered the empire and his nephew's character to suit her own plans. "Is he the only one of his company left?" asked a woman standing at the door, "What's the wharf?" "Won't some one help him?" A man sprang toward the boy, but the stare from those sunken eyes made him shrink away. On the heres a grotto. self-indulgent, of feeble will, given over to gross pleasures, timorous of responsibility, dependent upon her in everything, she bert the twig, and so the tree grew. The emperor of China was a manikin. His aunt was the ruler of the empire. He has been described as a small, delicate, intellectual looking youth, with large black eyes and a thin, pale face. He grand tutor for many years was Ung Tumu. He was strongly opposed to foreigners and Western ways. His enforced resignation two years ago was immediately followed by the proscription and flight of the leaders of the "Reformers," who had preeminence with satisfaction some indications of international relations to welcome European marriage. Kwang Su's marriage in 1880 was the first occasion of fatal violence between the young emperor and his aunt the dowager. He had chosen the daughter of Manehu military officer, but the emperor had already made a match for him, having chosen her own niece for the honor, and her will prevailed. The emperor submitted. In the edict by which he appointed Emperor 'tumu's son his successor, the emperor emperor—he really signed it—referred to the fact that LIVING, SU THE DIPPERON OF CHINA AS A CHILD. when he was appointed successor to Tung-Chi it was in the expectation that he would raise up helms to that monarch, "How bad was it?" and childless, the less the edified continued, "the edified continued, it found it necessary to appoint a successor.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1900. FOR PRESIDENT: WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Ohio. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: THEO. ROOSEVELT, of New York. It will be remembered that Senator Tillman, he of the pfortketch, helped to write the Kansas City platform which expresses such tender regard for the rights, liberties and independence of the brown man. But on the floor of the Senate of the United States this same Senator, while speaking of the black man, said with pride: "We stuffed ballot boxes, we shot them; we are not ashamed of it." The Senator must be an expert on the relation existing between shades color and the degree of liberty that ONLY FILIPINO DRUG CLERK IN THE UNITED STATES The only Filipino drug clerk in the United States, as far as can be ascertained, is Raymon Riles, who is employed by the Sherman-McCunnell Drug company of Omaha. He has had a very interesting career for a boy of his years. He was born in Burlington, a small city on the eastern coast of the Island of Samar. His father is a herchant, and young Riles received a good Spanish education, but not being a native of the Philippines village, and not seeing matters always as his father viewed them, he ran away from home and went to Hoio, where he worked in a factory. He afterward enlisted in the Spanish army and was at Manila when Dewey annhilated the Spanish fleet. He was twice wounded in battle—once slightly in the chest by the fragments of a bursting shell, and once received a rifle ball Democracy should portion out to each. Owing to the result of the recent election in North Carolina, in which white supremacy was engrafted on the state, Representative Hardwick will introduce in the next session of the Georgia legislature a bill providing for a constitutional amendment, similar in form and provisions as that adopted in the old North state. This enforces property and educational qualifications on suffrage, which practically disfranchises the Afro-Americans. In one breath the Democratic orator will assure his hearers that McKinley has no backbone, that he is a creature controlled by those around him, and with the next breath will accuse him of shaking the Republic to pieces in order to erect a throne on the ruins thereof. Chairman Jonas thinks one may be able to pick enough Democracy from the Kansas City platform to stand upon. There are a great many distinguished Democrats who are not inclined to the Jones way of thinking. At all events Bryan can collect material for another book. But in place of calling it the Second Battle, it would be well to acknowledge defeat as gracefully as possible and call it the Lost Cause. Those who vote for Bryan vote to abandon a condition more prosperous than any ever before enjoyed by any nation, for the purpose of trying a financial experiment condemned by all nations. Mr. Altgeld has pronounced Mr. Bryan the greatest man in the civilized world; and Mr. Bryan has all along contended that Mr. Altgeld is one of the best judges of greatness extant. The Republican administration goes to the country upon its accomplishments. Incidentally, it will be materially strengthened at the ballot box by the mistakes of the Democracy. Of the several nominees for the presidency, Mr. Bryan is far the wealthiest, and he made all of his money during the prosperous times brought about by the McKinley administration. Bryan sees danger in our National prosperity, and those wishing to do THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER through the right hand. He was taken prisoner by Uncle Sam's soldiers, and after his release came to America on a transport. He was one of the Filipinos who were on exhibition at the Philippine village during the Greater American exposition. Young Riyes is a bright, energetic and please young man. As the accompanying cut shows, he is rapidly becoming Americanized. He is in love with the United States and says he has no desire to return to his native home. He is a devout Catholic. He is studying English and speaks it quite readily considering his short residence here. Now, standing his limited opportunities and being entirely among strangers he promises to be useful and patriotic citizen. He says he would defend "Old Glory" if opportunity arises and there are reasons that cause one to believe he is sincerer. him justice must admit that, should his opinions prevail, such a source of danger would be speedily removed. From the silence of the Democrats on the tariff question it would seem that they have decided to take the views of one of their former candidates and call it a local question. Bryan is opposed to a front porch campaign, as the collections made from the rear end of a Pullman are always better than those made at lawn socials. William J. Bryan has exchanged his lecture called "What I Know About Wheat" for a new one entitled "What I Know About the Republic." The small boy whose representations concerning the jam closet have been discredited naturally wants to paramount some other question. Bryan should establish a rigid censorship over his thinks or there will be trouble before November. If the silver question is out of politics, why was it hammered into a political platform? The Democratic party never pointed with pride to any business measure that it ever enacted. It is not believed that Mr. Bryan's new farm is worked so thoroughly as it is photographed. AT PARIS.

C., four smok- ing cigars, two smoking pipes, nineteen smoking cigarettes, and only four not smoking, and this percentage being nothing unusual either in the street car or on the street; eleven young ladies of Washington's smart set meeting afternoons in a supposed "4 o'clock tea" and substitution boys from eight to fifteen years of age buying a package of cigarettes in a tobacco store on a prominent business street, light the cigarettes directly front of the store in the midst of passers by, and then each one puffing away walking down the street evidently proud of the achievement; twenty-one out of twenty-seven boys and six out of ten girls in a seventh grade in a Washington public school admitting that they smoke cigarettes a fourth grade Washington public school acknowledging that they smoke cigarettes; forty girls in four schools admitting that the cigarette was no stranger to their lips; fifty boys in one school stating that they have seen as many school girls smoking the "coffin mail"; positive knowledge of the "three mall"; positive knowledge of the "city under the care of a prominent physician each in a dangerous physical and mental condition caused by the made by reputable the cigarette; statements made by reputable the cigarette; sale of certain "favorite" brands made especially for the ladies, and the large sale of cigarette holders, so that the telltale "yellow fingers" may not appear; the appalling admissions of the boys and girls as to the general use of the cigarette and the further statement of the boys that the girls "catch on to inhaling in great shape"; the fact that three boys ten years of age, without any question of the seller, purchase cigarettes, cigarette to sell, plugging up of eighteen to twenty-three dealers of tobacco; and lastly, the knowledge of the death of boys, yes, of girls, in hospitals and homes, caused by the cigarette. These observations lead me to make the statement that Washington, of all cities visited by me West or North, is the worst in its use of the cigarette in particular and tobacco in general. "Gentlemen will refrain from using tobacco in this room." It was in a church of Washington, hanging over each gas chandelier and on the walls of the building, and the signs containing this admonition are one of our well known denominations was being held. The preachers and delegates were very gentlemanly, and no smoke was visible in the room, but on many a face of a worthy exhorter was pictured this desire, "Oh, for a place to split!" But the boys and girls. By unanimous consent of the broad of trustess of the public schools of the District of Columbia we were permitted to talk with the scholars. Of those who smoke or have smoked the cigarette the percentage in fourteen schools runs as follows: Boys from 7 to 10 years of age, 25 per cent; from 10 to 12 years of age, 33 1-3 per cent; from 12 to 14 years of age, 50 per cent; from 14 to 18 years of age, the seventh and eighth grades, 33 1-3 per cent. In the rooms below the seventh grade, the scholars are from 6 to 12 years of age, the boys and girls are about evenly divide, but in the two higher grades, as well as in the high school, there are about 20 per cent more girls than boys. In the high schools fully 50 per cent of the boys smoke, and many of the girls. The statement that girls smoke sounds shocking, and it is because so little attention has been paid to this phase of cigarette smoking that the girls have felt secure. It is not hard to imagine that they will be young men cigarette boxes, both filled with decorate them with ribbon, and hang them upon the walls of her room, might be induced to smoke one or more, and especially if she had 100 boxes so decorated and hung, and every box was filled as in the case of one young girl. Of the boys who have admitted smoking, we know that the anti-cigarette campaign, have taken the pledge of the Anti-Cigarette league, which reads: "I do hereby pledge myself upon honor to abstain from smoking cigarettes or using tobacco in any form at least until I reach the age of twenty-one years, and to use my influence to induce others to do the same." Strange to say few girls will agree to take the pledge. The younger girls, of course, are unanimous in pleading solves, but of the girls of fourteen and over, not more than 60-per cent will agree to sign the following pledge: "Abstaining myself from cigarettes or the use of tobacco in any form, I promise to use my influence to induce others to do the same. I also promise never to adhere to the rules of the school or give presents suggesting its use." Washington has now 6,000 members of the Anti-Cigarette league, and will have, when all schools have been visited, at the same rate 20,000 members. Each public school has a boy and a girl superintendent and these have selected the regular boys' and girls' organization. The work is being carried on by the federation of young peoples societies of the District of Columbia, which number 140, thus utilizing the already organized forces of the Epworth leagues, Christian Endeavors, Baptist union, Brotherhood of Young People's Christian union, Y. M. Others. This gives the movement permanence and character, and it is owing to these auspices that the movement in Washington has had unparalleled success, far eloping a like movement in any accomplishing positive and lasting results. This work has been formed in the churches, in direct charge of the Young People's society of the church attended by the member. The excellent law relating to the sale of tobacco passed by congress in 1921 which is as follows: "Be it enacted by the senate and houses representatives of the United States that no person who breaches no person in the District of Columbia shall sell, give, or furnish any cigar, cigarette or tobacco in any of its terms to any minor under sixteen years' age; and for each and every violation this section the offender shall, on conviction, be fined not less than $2 nor more than $10, or be imprisoned for not less five days nor more than twenty days." D.P. This extremely stylish gown is of white foulard spotted with dark blue and having a border trimming of dark blue and white spots. Deep cream sleeves and a lace trimming are also used. This gown is very actively used in bordering the blue bands on the skirt. A distinctive feature in this costume is its upper skirt with the inverted pleat down the front. Has it been so openly vandalized, that since its passage the prosecutions for its v olave averaged but two per year. It took two hours, four boys and twenty-three dealers to secure nineteen arrests for violation of the above laws. Italian fruit stands, fashionable drug stores, large lioboque establishments and corner grocery stores have been the target to get the pennies and nickels from the boy. The order issued by Willis M. Moore forbidding employees of the United States weather bureau using cigarettes and one of the largest mercantile houses of Washington discharging all employees who were addicted to the habit, has had a splendid influence for good. The boys also noticed many advertisements in the paper heading "Boys Wanted" closing and "Young People's Temperance need apply"—Willis J. Brown, President of the Young People's Temperance Society. WHEN BATTLE COMES. (Continued From First Puge.) saw the dull, hollow eyes sit with a new light. He saw the thin, gaint arms reach out as if to grasp something—his gun, perhaps. The nurse raised the dying boy in her arms, his eyes turned to his colonel's face in inquiry. The colonial read his glance and hardening his face the old commander obeyed the behest: "Charge!" he cried in rincing toes. "Charget" answered the boy, and died. —New York Sun.

ON THE MAGICIAN Hqw Bill Nye Once Turned a Joke Upon Herrmann A few years ago Bill Nye and James Whitcomb Riley were touring the country together and one day when in a Chicago hotel were seated at a table in the dining room opposite Herrmann, the magician. Although each was known to the other, no sign of recognition passed between them. But Herrmann, who was always playing practical jokes upon his friends, had prepared one for Nye. While the latter was about to investigate the mysteries of a salad that had been placed before him, he saw beneath a lettuce leaf a superb and scintillant diamond, set in a very fine gold ring. Without showing the least surprise he lifted the ring from the salad bowl, slipped it on his finger, conscious all the while that every eye was upon him, and, turning to Riley, who sat next to him, remarked, with his dry, inimitable drawl: "Strange how careless I am getting up to be in my old age, James, I am forever leaving my jewels in unlikely places." Herrmann was dumb-founded at the sudden manner in which his trick had miscarried, but he was destined for a still greater shock: for, when the darky waiter who presided over the table brought on the next course, Nye turned to him and, soberly handing him the gem-set ring, said: "You are a very good waiter, Joe." "Yes, sah, I guess I is sah," "And you always will be a real good waiter, Joe?" "Yes, sah; I boun' mout da best, sah," "I believe you, Joe. I believe you; and, as an evidence of my faith in you, I want you to accept this little trifle. Wear it, and always remember the man who most appreciated your services." The darky eyes bugled. Herrmann's fork rattled to the floor and he tugged at his great mustache, but was far too clever to cut in with an explanation at such an inopportune moment. There were half-suppressed titters all around the board during the rest of the meal, which the professor of occult art did not appear to enjoy. At a late hour that night Herrman was heard in loud argument with the dusky recipient of the diamond ring, trying, in two languages, to convince him that it was all a joke on the part of Mr. Nye. Finally, after disbursing a tip of more than customary liberality, Herrmann got back his ring. He afterward avowed the stone alone was -worth $2,000 and that Bill Nye's nonchalant presentation of it to a grinning man had spoiled a whole evening's performance in legerdemain. MRS. PIPER'S TRANCES. A Description of the Mode of "Communications" Made by Her The mode of "communication" is somewhat as follows: Mrs. Piper goes into a "trance"—some state of insensibility and unconsciousness of whose nature we know little or nothing—her head resting on a pillow placed on a table, says Harper's Magazine. A pencil is placed in her fingers and the "communications" are written out on a pad provided by the sitter. Mrs. Piper is not touched in the meantime, so that muscular suggestion is excluded from consideration. The sitter simply remains in silence until he finds it necessary to ask a question, which is addressed to the medium's hand. In the meantime, and without any suggestion or question, all sorts of "messages," comprising incidents in the previous life of the "communicator," may be written down, all unknown to Mrs. Piper, and often unknown to the sitter, but verified aheadward among those at a distance whom he may interrogate. To many these facts will seem trivial, but their value consists in that fact. The first problem for the psychical researcher is the personal identity of the alleged discernate spirit, and only the most trivial incidents can make that certain. Generalities, profound philosophy, poetic description, and similar phenomena would only condemn all claims to spiritism. Personal experiments which I conducted show that living, intelligent men choose trivial incidents to prove their identity, and that the choice of them does not serve as an index of their character or conditions of life and cond. A girl will most always try to dress right after she has asked a man what it's a sign of when her lip itches. Marriage helps a man. Ananias would probably never have got celebrated if it hadn't been for Sapphira. When a man gets married there are always a lot of women who go around wondering what either of them could have seen in the other. GAMMON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

The dog ap- pears depressed with lowered head and tail, or uncomfortably excited, anda kind of thrill precedes the sounds, On the other hand, both cats and dogs appear to be uaconscious of the sounds they utter until experience or definite teaching has shown them the result, To make a dog utter sounds voluntarily fs often very diMeult, and those who can “sing” to order seem to exercise a painful tension of will. Again, excitement will strangulate the volce of the dog. like that of a shy girl ‘at a singing lesson, so that his strong- est impulse to appeal is mute. So, too, cats often silently open thelr mouths when they demand food. Such facts seem to point, to the conclusion that the noise is not purposely produced, and that though sounds may give warning or guidance to other animals, the utterance is dependent on physical impulse. When the impuise te imita- tive {t may depend ultimately on such sensation as is felt by some people in the throat when a Bourdon stop 1s on the organ, and by most people when they hear, for instance, the cheering of large crowd.

HE FOUND A DIAMOND Guttering In the Midst of a Pioco of ‘ein Gea ‘Mrs, William Playfair, the wife of the well-known physician, is the possessor of a diamond to which a very special interest is attacked, says the Chicago News. Some years ago Dr. Playfair, while attending a patient from the Orange Free State, happened to notice in this lady's drawing room @ plece of bright blue stone, “from which a tiny brilliant point pro- truded. Seetng that his attention was attracted by this specimen, the pa- tient begged him to examine it, told him it was a mineralozical curiosity, that diamonds were rarely found un- der these particular geological condi- tions and finally begged his acceptance of the stone, adding that the gift was oniy valuable as 2 curiosity. Dr. Play- fair willingly accepted the interesting memento of a very pleasant acquain- tance cnd for some time the pleco of blue clay, with its tiny glittering ap- pendage, was an object of deep inter- est to all his friends. One day it ocurred to the doctor to show his bit of blue clay to a jeweler ‘who was considered an expert in stones and to suggest that the latter should break up the lump and see how much of the gi'tering matter lay hid- den from view. To this, however, the Jeweler was distinctly averse, saying That they could see all there was of value in {t and that in breaking up the lump of clay they would spoil a very interesting specimen. Dr, Playfair, however, insisted upon having his own way, with the result that a very valu- able diamond was shortly afterward brought to light. Needless to add, the Orange Free*State was at once ‘communicated with, but the giver of the “interesting” gitt ‘would not hear of the stone boing sent out to her and it now sparkles in tho center of a very handsome pendant that is one of Mrs. ‘William Playfalr’s most cherished pos- sennlons. een enesion VO? | | ©UR GRA ermine 0 Rare rae mance leicearicsns Is Saar pene ea Suse sarereae wlS...

Political Points. The platform of the Kentucky Democrats make them accessories after the fact. A political party that puts forth a platform and then tries to explain that it doesn't mean what it says naturally invites the suspicion of the voters. In case Mr. Crocker fails to rally the young men of the country, the work might be turned over to the Tammany Ice Trust. It has a business-like way of going after things. Ex-Senator Gorman noodily proclaimed the outer Gorm that the Kansas "City platform it 'a well-written document." He declined, however, to touch upon its hair-trigger contents. If your Democratic-talking politician is hasty tempered, and you wish to avoid warm words, do not ask him, "Well, how about the price of wheat and the price of silver?" A Boston judge fined a "divine healer" $1,500 the other day. Yet the orators who go about the country predicting the downfall of the Republic are not molested by the law. *** Enough cities have subscribed to assure the "Prohibition Special."

Mr. Bryan made the platform upon which he desires to stand. The gentlemen who are trying to twist its meaning by the "paramountment" process are acting wholly upon their own responsibility.

Church now Oc cupped by Rev. A. I. Murray. Rev. A. R. Murray, the pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church was born in Ypsilanti, Mich. In 1863 His early training was under the captain, his parents having died when he was very young. He attended the public schools of Charlestown, Ind., until 1882, at which time he entered the school at Greencastle, Ind. Here he completed a common school education and subsequently became a student at De Pauw university. After a course of years he was graduated with high honors. He was invited to serve for the ministry and in 1887 was licensed as a local preacher by the Rev. D. A. Graham. Mr. Murray's first charge was in Brazil, Ind. Here he found no church and only a few members. After working for one year he succeeded in arousing new interest in the members and the church of a good church edifice. In 1880 he became the Methodist church at his former home, Greencastle, Ind. Here he built a new place of worship. In 1891 he was ordained elder and transferred to the Michigan conference. While stationed at Jackson, Mich., he erected a church of nearly $4,000 and added thirty names to the church membership. In 1892 Mr. Murray was sent to Vincennes, Ind., where he received 100 persons into membership. In 1896 he was appointed pastor of Allen chapel, Indianapolis, Ind., where the best of his life's work has been accomplished up to the present time. Here he found a large field for usefulness, his pastoral duties having increased considerably. While he was pastor Allen chapel was completely remodeled at a cost of about $5,000, all of which is nearly paid off. During his five years' successful service in Indianapolis he enrolled on the books of the church membership over 100 names. His intelligence and unselfish devotion in all matters relative to the church and the amelioration of suffering charity, have won for him many friends inside the church. Fourteen years later, Mr. Murray married Miss Ella May Belcher, a graduate of the high school at Charlestown, Ind., and an accomplished Mr. Murray comes to Chicago cordially recommended by the church people and many representative men of Indianapolis. Prominent among them is the Governor, the Hon. James A. Mount. Mr. Murray is a preacher of the gospel pure and simple. He teaches "the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man," and is free from narrow sectarianism. The demand for such a ministerer than the supply therefore the members of BJD Church consider themselves fortunate in procuring a minister of his true.

What Girls Hate Most in Men In a recent issue of a London weekly its readers were invited to give an opinion as to what ten characteristics were considered to be the most hateful in men, and it was announced that the competition should be decided by the votes recorded. A very large number submitted opinions on the subject. The bad features of character in men, judging from the lists sent in, were many and varied; but, after a careful checking, it has been found that according to the votes of readers the following were the ten characteristics considered most hateful: 1. Drunkenness. 2. Cowardice. 3. Selfishness. 4. Conceit. 5. Meanness. 6. Laziness. 7. Deceit. 8. Untruthfulness. 9. Gambling. 10. Cruelty. Immense Encyclopedia The most voluminous encyclopedia work in the world is in the Berlin Anthropological Museum. It is in twelve hundred volumes, in Chinese. It embraces literature, philosophy, astronomy, natural science and industries. Each volume has one hundred to one hundred and fifty pages. Originally only one hundred copies were printed and those were not put on sale. But recently a new edition was put forth, which sells at $300 for the set. It is splendidly illustrated with maps and pictures. The largest private library in America was owned by the historian, H. H. Bancroft. It consisted of fifty thousand volumes, valued at $200,000. Girls in Greece. In Greece girls are betrothed at a very early age, and their dowry consists of household furniture and linen rather than money. Although most Greek girls are naturally very pretty, they begin to paint and powder from a very early age—the cheeks bright red, the eyebrows and lashes deepest black and veins delicately blue. The result is that they are withered old women of 40, and thus nowhere are uglier females to be found than beneath the blue skies of this classic land. Every Greek family who can afford to do so keeps a French nurse or maid, for French is almost universally spoken in society. Painting and music are quite unnecessary, but girls are carefully trained in dancing and drilled to conduct themselves with elegance. Lastly, household duties are taught—how to make rose jam, Turkish coffee and various delicate sweetmeats The Rev. Dr. George T. Purvis has been installed as pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church. This is the church of which the late Dr. John Hall was pastor. During the last few months the congregation has raised over $40,000 for benevolent purposes. A Congregational minister at Iowa City inserted a four-column advertisement in a local evening newspaper recently, calling attention to his Sunday services. The advertisement shocked some of the more conservative people of Iowa City, but it resulted in an enlarged congregation. The United Presbyterian church synod recently passed a unanimous resolution in favor of a union with the Free church, Scotland, and it is said that the latter will pass a similar resolution during the present month and that a meeting to complete the union in a formal manner will meet in Edinburgh in October.
