From the days of old—to the days of gold Disraeli and Even in old age, when he was journeying to the grave full of honors, Lord Beaconsfield spoke proudly of his Hebrew ancestry; but Mr. Lucien Wolf is at some points to prove that the whole story of the Disraeli, is set forth in his memoir of his father, is, to say the least, unreliable. Says Mr. Wolf: "The statement that the name Disraeli had 'never been borne before or since by any other family' is only true of Lord Beaconsfield himself, for he was the first Disraeli. His father to the end of his days spelt his name Disraeli, and his grandfather, who first adopted the nobilious particle, was known in his young days, like his father before him, as simple Israel. Nor is it quite true to say that the name stands absolutely alone in the world's omnastich. Throughout the 8th century a Huguenot family, named Disraeli, was a resident in London. It became extinct* with one "The meeting of congress reminds me that it is one of the rarest things in the world to find a good reading clerk," said an old reporter, "and there is. I suppose, a very good reason for it. As a matter of fact, it takes a peculiar type of man to make a reading clerk. There are a great many men who can read well for a while. But the man wanted by the large deliberative bodies must be able to sustain himself, and in order to do this he must learn how to control his voice. In fact, he must be as careful of his voice as the artistic singer. "Reading clerks in legislative bodies often have a peculiar condition to deal with on account of the character of legislative halls. The men who read for Congress also read under difficulties. During the last national conventions of the Republican and Democratic parties I had occasion to appreciate the difficulties of finding good reading clerks. Each convention selected a number of reading On both sides of the great controversy which took such fearful shape in the middle of the seventeenth century, but especially on the Protestant side, the minds of men were devoted, not to seeking that peace which was breathed upon the world by the New Testament, but to finding warrant for war—and especially the methods of the chosen people in waging war against unbelievers—in the Old Testament. Did any legislator or professor of law yield to feelings of humanity, he was sure to meet with protests based upon authority of Holy Scripture.

This gavel is unlike most of the symbols of authority wielded by presiding officers. It consists of a piece of ivory shaped like an hour glass. Nobody knows the origin or age of the gavel, save that it has been used in the senate for more than 100 years. It is yellow with age and is slick and smooth as the result of long handling. "The history of this gavel," said Mr. Stewart the other day, "is wrapped in mystery.

Benjamin Disraell, of Beechey Park, Carlow, a rich money-lender and notary of Dublin, who died in 1814. There is also to-day, in Vienna, a family named Disraell, but they rather tend to confirm Lord Beaconsfield's hypothesis, since they have only recently adopted the name. Even in its most authentic form of Disraell the name was not unprecedented in the 5th century, for it had been borne with considerable distinction by Jews 500 years before, and it was still current at the time of the Spanish exodus." Mr. Wolf traces the obscure origin of the family from the time when a certain Benjamin Disraell was born at Certo, Ferrara, the family having probably come from the Levant. This Benjamin Disraell emigrated to England in his 8th year, and was the ancestor of Lord Beaconsfield. Mr. Wolf mentions incidentally the interesting fact that Mr. Pinero is a descendant of a collateral branch of the family. clerks, but the service was not at all satisfactory. It was impossible to hear the clerks a short while after they began to read. They would pitch their voices in a key so high that 60F lapse vocally was inevitable. The voices would soon become husky and the men could not be heard at all. Another man would be pressed into service with the same result. "On account of these difficulties it required the services of a number of men to get the platforms and resolutions before the conventions. And at that the reading was of a most unsatisfactory nature, for even the delegates who were required to vote on the various propositions involved could not hear and did not know what they were voting for.

The indiscriminate slaughter of whole populations was justified by a reference to the divine command to slaughter the nations round about Israel. Torture and mutilation of enemies was sanctioned by the conduct of Samuel against Agag, of King David against the Philistines, of the men of Judah against Adonibezek. Even the slaughter of babes in arms was supported by a passage from the Psalms, "Happy shall he be that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones."

Treasure Hunting on Cocos Island COCOS ISLAND BOAT ROCK SILVER AGE VAPE DAY CASCADE ROCK INTERIOR PLACE DEHSE TREES AND UNDERGROWTH MT IGLESIAIS HIGHEST PEAK 8800 FT 200 FT 600 FT PEAK 4580 FT DANGER HEAD XWX SILVER DEPOT X TREASURE SAVE PIRATE SHIP (From the RUBRIC.) If the tale be true, and many there are who say it is, chest on chest of Spanish gold, more than Aladdin found in the enchanted cave, more than the fabled treasure of Kidd, wealth to make the finder one of the money kings of the earth, lies awaiting the hand of a fortune seeker on the little island of Cocos, in the Pacific. Failure and desperate fighting have marked the last of many attempts to confirm the last line of the verse and "share all by the rule of thumb." Although not in the extremity of Stevenson's pirate ship, the Veronique, Capt. Morison, fitted out by Earl Fitzwilliam and Admiral Palliser, is returning to English shores after a voyage filled with disaster; the common fate of every expedition to the little bit of land which furnished the scenario of "Treasure Island." The story of Cocos island and its vast treasure rivals upon the Pacific the story of Capt. Kidd upon the Atlantic, and that of Lafitte upon the gulf coast. The story of the amassing of the treasure, what it cost in good ships scuttled, in men walking the plank, in fair maids dishonored and thrown into the scuppers "with a dirk slot sheer through the bosom spot," what flash of knives and shriek of shot, what lies and lust of, blood and gain, will never be told. The "There was chest on With a ton of plate in And the cabin riot of And they lay on That had With sightless And with While we shared all Yo-ho-ho and a bottle fierce actors in the tragedy did not live to enjoy their blood tithes on the commerce of the new world, and if tradition hold true it lies there yet, $60,000,000 in gold coin, silver and utensils, 300,000 pounds of bar silver in one hole, 733 bars of pure gold each 3 by 4 inches and 2 inches thick, jeweled swords of untold value, and kettle on kettle of Spanish dollars, and pieces of eight. Yet although more than a hundred expeditions have started on the quest, none of them has succeeded in overcoming the unvaried misfortune which has been the history of all, either to the extent of finding the treasure or of proving conclusively its nonexistence. In many respects the story is more authoritative and more credible than the tale of the buried wealth of Capt. Kidd. Did the latter exist it is impossible that the search which has extended to every nook and cranny of the Atlantic coast from Maine to Key West should not have disclosed some positive evidence of it. Besides, its existence rested upon the word of one man, about to be hanged for his countless crimes, and with pirate bravado, anxious to leave the world a legacy of mystery in keeping with his calling and wherewith to perpetuate his fame. The existence of treasure on Cocos island rests upon the stories of two men, members of the pirate crews who buried it, transmitted to their descendants and coming down to the Defective Page present through well authenticated sources. Three other arguments in favor of the story are also advanced; no one has ever made a search thorough enough to disprove it, one man, Kenton, is said to have recovered $75,000 of it, and the wealth which is supposedly on the island is known to have existed and its disappearance cannot otherwise be accounted for. Robert Louis Stevenson doubtless knew the story and drew from it his tale of "Treasure Island," although he laid the plot in the seventeenth century instead of the nineteenth in order to carry it back to the age of the truly picturesque buccaneers. Cocos island is a small bit of land rising abruptly out of the waters of the Pacific 300 miles off the west coast of Panama. It is but three nautical miles in extent and is not of sufficient importance geographically to claim a place upon any maps but the most complete nautical charts. It is doubtless of volcanic origin and is uninhabited save for the sea birds and a herd of half-wild cattle. Politically it is a part of Costa Rica, but as the commercial value of the island, with the exception of the doubtful asset of the pirates' treasure, is nil, the sovereignty amounts to little. The cache dates back to the liberation of Mexico from the voke of Last of Many Expeditions after $ 60,000,000. of Pirate Gold buried on Little Reef in the Pacific Proves a failure PIRATE SHIP.

Mexico was the richest of Spanish colonies on the western hemisphere. The court of O'Donouj (a Spanishiard of Irish descent) rivaled in splendor that of the Montezumas in the time of Cortez and in elegance the courts of Europe. When in 1821 Spain gave up the long-drawn struggle to hold her colony and O'Donouj surrendered to Gen. Iturbide there was a rush upon the part of the nobility to transfer their wealth and their precious selves to the Philippines, where they hoped to re-establish the vice-regal luxury and license. Everything of value was converted into bar gold and silver, and the Spanish nobility embarked upon a fleet of vessels and set sail to the westward. Piracy at that date was not what it was during the two centuries preceding, and most of the great exponents of the profession, such as Sir Henry Morgan, Laftte, Blackbeard and Capts. Flint and Kidd, had long since passed to their reward, but some bold spirits still existed to whom the expedition to Manila was a tempting plum, and it had not proceeded far upon the voyage when the dread command "Stand by to go about" was heard, their vessels were boarded, and, presumably, although history is silent upon the details, their crews and passengers walked that terrible journey off the end of a plank. --- Masters of the gold, the pirates, so the story goes, put into Cocos, buried the treasure and, knowing of the unsettled state of affairs in Mexico, returned thither in search of further loot. Two of the pirates, Thompson and Chapel, who were Englishmen, either sickened by the bloody work they had witnessed or from motives of revenge, deserted upon the landing in Mexico. They made their way to Valparaiso, where they laid information of the plans and whereabouts of the pirates with the English government. England sent a man-of-war against them and laid the entire gang by the heels. They were all hanged in chains at Jamaica. Some of the treasure in the West Indies was found, but that upon Cocos island was untouched, notwithstanding the efforts of a Liverpool company to recover it. An expedition sent out by this company was unable to locate the island. Thompson and Chapel died without revisiting Cocos. They transmitted to their descendants the story of the treasure, together with all the maps and charts necessary to locate it. These charts are said to be still extant and in the possession of Capt. August Gissler of San Francisco, Costa Rica and wherever else fortune may lead him. Capt. Gissler, who styles himself "Lieutenant Governor of Cocos for Costa Rica," is the self-appointed guardian of the pirates' treasure. He claims to hold a concession from the Costa Rican government for the exploitation of "all the natural and acquired resources" of the island. He has claimed a residence on the island since 1888, and lays claim to the cattle upon it. Expeditions in search of the treasure are almost annual affairs, but only a few of them have gone prepared with the tools, machinery and blasting apparatus necessary to an effective search. In 1902 the search took on some unusual features which promised for a time to cause international friction. Two expeditions started from the Pacific coast, treasurebound for Cocos, the Herman, Capt. James Brown, from COCOS ISLAND San Francisco, and the Blakely from Victoria, B. C. The Hermann was ostensibly on a pleasure trip, but it was said she carried between decks several barrels of blasting powder and an equipment for unearthing and handling the treasure. She also carried a rapid-fire gun. The expedition was said to be backed by the Alaska Commercial company. The departure of the Herman and the rumor of the Blakely expedition aroused Capt. Gissler, who was then at San Francisco. With the aid of Capt. John Ross, a hardy skipper, he enlisted a crew of during adventurers to go in pursuit of the rival expeditions. Leaving Ross to follow, he sailed for Costa Rica with the intention of asking the government for a gunboat to head off the treasure seekers. The threatened war in a teapot failed to break, however. The blusterings of Capt. Gissler died away as suddenly as they arose. The Herman steamed back into San Francisco bay with all the mystery which marked her departure. The Blakely, however, gave Capt. Gissler the slip, if he really was in pursuit, and spent twenty-four days there sinking shafts and crosscuts near where the crew of a British warship and the treasure hunting schooner Aurora had delved on former occasions. The island was, deserted, not a soul being seen during their stay there. Hundreds of shafts and tunnels were seen, the traces of former expeditions. Whether they sought for something which was not or whether they lacked the requisite information, the Blakely party found no trace of treasure and sailed away, reaching Victoria Aug. 7, 1902, after being out of that part 213 days. Meanwhile the treasure of the fleeing Spaniards rests undisturbed by the hand of man, waiting to endow with boundless wealth the fortunate one who will some day follow the right trail and lay bare the ironbound chests of gleaming bars of silver and gold.—Frank L.

Saved Friend from Bore Lynx-Eyed Russian Spies Electric Power for Plows Illustrating the frequent ignorance of his own wares displayed by the selling agent, the following (true) story is told by H. W. Lanier in "How to Buy Life Insurance" in World's Work: There are to-day some thousands of varieties of life insurance policies, each of which has a technical name and is capable of being made quite unintelligible to the average man. Some unscrupulous agents trade on this; many do not fully understand the meaning of terms themselves, but have learned their lesson parrotlike, and most of them apparently find it unnecessary to describe in plain English to those about to insure what they are contracting for. The result is a mass of misinformation and confusion about the whole subject. For instance, an agent was trying to insure an editor on some new plan. The editor had a theory that any fact could be put into plain everyday English if the man behind the fact really knew what he was talking about. After listening to an involved flow of "premiums," "deferred dividends," "cash surrender values" and "optical choices" he said, gravely: "Pittsburgh Phil" and his characteristics have been discussed in nearly every sporting headquarters by men who had known him before his death. "Phil was, in a class by himself like Jeffries," said Sam Summerfield. "He was quiet, unassuming and probably has less of a following than any big better ever had. In his method of going at it he was different. He was unlike Drake or Gates, who go it blind and on stable information from Riley Grannan, Steve L'Hommeur or Davy Johnson. Grannan would go through the ring with bunches of money in his hands. Phil always came in quietly, walked from behind the book, made his bet and walked away. Since his dispute over a marker twelve years ago with George Wheelock, president of the Metropolitan Turf association, "Pittsburgh Phil," in his biggest operations never bet a marker. In his way of hating he was like an Indian. He never forgot. To vent his feelings against Wheelock he bought a clean horse, named it Wheelosl. "You appear to be unusually glad to see me," remarked a man surprised at the effusiveness of the greeting of which he had been made the object in entering the office of a friend whom he was accustomed to see every day. "I am always glad to see you," said his friend, subsiding into his usual manner, says the Washington Star, "but do you know that when you have in sight it was just as I was going down in the water for the third time and help had unexpectedly come to my rescue." "Curious sensations for a man to have during business hours in his office, far from any water," said his friend, who began to look him over with rather grave face. "Well, perhaps, the figure is rather overdrawn," he admitted, "still there is no doubt about the relief your coming gave me. You noticed the man who left after you came in. He would have been here yet if you had not come in. He had been talking steadily for half an hour and he is one Russia is pre-eminently the land of spies. Democratic and socialistic France has raised the spy system to a state function, but in Russia it is the very soul of the state. In Moscow, in the streets, agents of the police are stationed every five hundred yards; in addition, secret agents watch the houses day and night—one being allotted to every four houses, and in every house is another spy, the porter. Go where you will, you are never out of the watchful eye of the police. You brush against spies in your hotel, as in the theaters; in a restaurant, as in the drawing room of a friend. It is ridiculously easy to recognize those you meet in the fashionable resorts. They have evidently been instructed to disguise themselves as gentlemen, and for one of them the livery of a gentleman is a frock coat, a silk hat, and, always—by rain or sunlight—an The Societa Elettrotecnica Italiana of Turin has invented and constructed devices for the application of electric power to plows and other farm machinery, writes Consul Cuneo from Turin, Italy. The experiment of plowing by electric power was recently made near this city in the presence of representative men from different parts of Italy, and, it is reported, with gratifying success. The device consists of two power cars, which are stationed at each side of the field, and between which are stretched tables attached to the plow. The electric current is taken from a trolley line; a current of about 500 volts is said to be needed. Each car is salt to communicate twenty-five $2.40 PER YEAR.

If you'll write that proposition out in ordinary English, so that an ordinary man can understand it, I'll not only take the policy, but I'll publish that explanation as an article and pay $100 for it." "Will I Sure, I will!" exclaimed the overjoyed agent, thinking he had indeed struck an easy job. And he departed, adjourning the editor not to forget. A week passed by. The agent called up on the telephone to say that he was working on the thing. There was less exultation in his voice. Two weeks more elapsed. The editor had forgotten the whole thing, when the agent's card came in one day. It was followed by the man himself. "Well," said the editor. "Got my article?" "N-no," said the agent, sheepily. "The fact is, I guess, I can't do it the way you want, after all. Let's call it off." It is hardly too much to say that this is typical. which he said was Wheelock's name in Russia. "I should say his age at his death was 37. I remember that he once had $4,000 on a 20 to 1 shot, his horse winning, only to be disqualified on a foul. I believe his largest winning was on King Cadmus, when he was reputed to have won from $100,000 to $500,000. I think the real amount was either a little above or a little below $100,000. "Phil was cold-blooded and business-like in his methods. He wanted to know things, not rumors. He didn't want anybody to tell him. He went himself to see. He was a man who never dissipated. This plan of life undoubtedly lengthened his life. I believe he suffered from tuberculosis for over ten years. His life was like his actions in the ring—quiet and unassuming. There is no doubt but that his huge operations were regarded as a menace to the turf and that is why the Jockey club warned him.

He held me with his eye and his tongue ran on. When you arrived a diversion was possible, and the warmth of my greeting left no doubt in his mind that I wanted to see you. At any rate he realized that the spell which such men throw over their listeners had been broken, and so he hastened away." "I understand the situation perfectly," observed his friend, "as I have acted the role of a life-saver before this. Some men do not realize the amount of good they can do by dropping in on an acquaintance who don't seem to have the faculty of getting rid of robes. There are, of course, some men who can take care of themselves, whether in their offices or elsewhere. But then there are others who fall victims through some hypnotic influence, and they need the aid of their friends." umbrella. The famous third police! A stranger might fancy that, in an open cab—talking French or English to his friend—he would at least be safe from surveillance; but his friend will touch him significantly and speals of the weather. The fat cabby on the box, somnolent, with white hair and good paternal eyes, may be a spy, more skilled in the languages than the traveling stranger; and if the cabman has been found loitering near the great clubs, the hotels, or the embassies, the chances are strong that he is.

The plow is pulled by the cables from one side of the field to the other, and when it reaches the end of the furrow it stops automatically, the current being cut off. It can be run backward or forward with ease. One man manages the plow, and each car is operated by one man. Thus three men do all the work. Of course, much depends on the condition of the soil, but it is said that from seven to fifteen acres can be plowed in twelve hours. These power cars are said to be as easily managed as traction engines, and their power can be applied to thrashing machines, corn shellers, pumps, grain drills, etc. HAVE YOUR READ THE APPEAL ADAMS BROS.

We have read in the daily papers that Lady Mary Gray, a blood relative of the seventh ear of Stamford and Worrington, England, who lives in South Africa may if she chooses go to London and no one may legally dispute her right to be presented at the ear of a catholic daughter. Lady Mary Gray is twenty-four years old and is a daughter of the eighth ear whose wife is a fullblooded African woman. Her mother the Countess of Stamford removed the title to marry another man after the death of Lady Mary's father. The daughter now resides in Worrington and as such she is recognized in the official peerage. As Lady Mary Gray is a mulatto, which foot would not delar her from the official or social courtesies her rank would entitle her among the royal families of the earth we are familiar with and the organisation would be given her should she visit the United States?

HIG IDEA OF A GENTLEMAN. Cardinal Newman's Estimate Is Well Worthy the Attention of All. Cardinal Newman's definition of a gentleman has probably never been surpassed. Here it is: "It is almost the definition of a gentleman to say he is one who never infriits pain, he has one eyes on all surfaces, he has tender toward the gentle, hought toward the distant and merciful toward the absurd; he can recollect to when he is speaking; he guards against unreasonable allusions or topics which may irritate; he is seldom prominent in conversation and never wearisome. "He makes light of favors while he does them and seems to be receiving when he is conferring. He never speaks of himself except when compelled, never defends himself by a mere retort; he has no care for amurder or gossip, is scrupulous in interlacing motives to those in interfere with him in an intercept everything with his intent. He is never mean or little in dispute. He never takes unfair advantage, never mistakes personalities or sharp sings for arguments or insinulates evil which he dare not say out." HOW TO OPEN A BOOK. Right and Wrong Way in This as There is in Everything. Many people, when they first come into possession of a new book, are apt to spoil the back by not knowing how to open the book properly. Here are a few hints as to the best way of opening a volume. It should be opened with its back on the spine, but the leaves be held in one hand. Next, the other board cover should be let down. Following this operation, a few leaves should be opened at the back, then a few at the front, and soon, alternately opening back and front, gently pressing open the sections till the center of the volume is reached. The best results will be obtained if this is done two or three times. The book is violently or carefully opened in any one place, the back will very likely be broken - Poorson's book.

Sugar a Universal Need "Sugar has modified the history of Europe and of the world in more ways than one," says a writer. "Used four centuries ago, almost exclusively in the preparation of medicines, and long afterward an article of luxury only accessible to the rich, it has by enlightened production and changed mankind's health, brought within the reach of all. The universal use of this preciately pure carbohydrate, which is not only a freely burning fuel and predeed spar, but a muscle food, increasing the power of doing work and lessening fatigue, must have had widespread and beneficial effects on the general health.

They have more sense than men, for the simple reason that a man has to be a specialist, and a specialist has to be a fanatic.

A decoction of cherry bark and spruce bark, boiled and strained, is an old Indian remedy for coughs, which has been largely sold under various names for years by vendors of patent medicines.

Concerning King William IV. of England the following story has appeared, the countess of Strafford being responsible for it. The king was at dinner. "Next to him was a titled woman whom he was entertaining with some extraordinary anecdotes, which the lady found it impossible to believe were true. She therefore answered: 'Oh, sir, I beg your pardon, but I really do not think that can be true.' To her surprise he instantly replied. "You are quite right, marm, there is not a word of laugh in it. It is a lie, marm, marm, marm." In fact, he did not lie; we can't help it. We had it from our mother! This" concludes the countess of Strafford, "was the biggest lie of all, for Queen Charlotte was a very truthful person, never given to lying."

They might have stopped it by an earnest gesture. M. Thiers contented himself with this state. He made in his war our certain ruin; he knew our terrible inferiority in everything; he could have In Chapter 11, the author says: "If there is one thing clearly established, it is that the Constitution, which formed the Constitution; who, recognizing the importance of Christian civilization, inconsistently for which the colonies had contended, and which constitute the basis of our Republic, refrained from inserting in it any other form of freedom. We must conclude that they were not content with the government of that day. There was no state feeling that it was injurious to society in no sense dependent upon sectionalism. We are certainly confidently expected: emancipation was to be the rule. This came early northward, and we must suppose that if there had been no inhibition of the African slave trade, emancipation would have been Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky and "Opposition to the institution of slavery arose from religious convictions as to its policies. The resistance of those who with Mr. Jefferson condemned it because he believed that religious beliefs became an impatient as his oracular suppression of political forces; while that having its source in religious feelings played a role in the formation of the third party.

On the arrival of Prof. Du Bois in company with Mr. F. L. McGhee he was welcomed by the hostess and received with the Chautauqua saute. Miss Hattie Loomis then rendered a vocal solo. The address of welcome was then made by Mrs. Janper Gibbs, president of the State Federation of Women's Clubs. Prof. Du Bois responded in a very happy strain. His remarks were very timely and we well received. After the close of his remarks each present was personally presented to the distinguished visitor. Refreshments were served and thus closed a most pleasant afternoon's entertainment. In the evening Prof. Du Bois spoke at House of Hope church under the auspices of the Men's Sunday Club. The president of the club, Mr. H. B. Howard called the meeting to order and stated its object and then called upon Mr. F. L. McGhee to preside. A special chorus rendered several pleasing selections. Miss Gladys Alexander gave a most delightful soprano solo. Prof. Du Bois then presided upon "Atlanta University," which was listened to throughout with evident interest and pleasure. The chorus again sang and a liberal collection was raised for the benefit of Atlanta University and the meeting adjourned. BROTHER GONE TO REST. Two Prominent Ladies of St. Paul Lose a Brother. Mr. R. D. Hyde, brother of Mrs. O. D. Howard and Mrs. H. F. McIntyre, came to St. Paul in July, 1904, in search of lost health, but there was no improvement. He returned to his home, Wick, Iowa. Feb. 19, 1905, and died Feb. 25th. Mr. H. F. McIntyre accompanied by Mrs. Harriet Stillwell, Mr. Hyde's mother, and his son William Hyde left last Saturday night to attend the funeral which was held Tuesday, Feb. 28, 1905. The ladies have the sympathy of their friends in their hour of bereavement. Have you seen the new magazine, "THE VOICE OF THE NEGRO?" See notice elsewhere in this issue. Handy Thing.

The choir of St. Thomas' mission assisted by Miss Mayme Weir, the Twin Cities favorite dramatic reader, and the Swauene Quartet will give a concert and entertainment on next Tuesday evening, March 7th, at Knickerbocker hall, corner Ninth street and Fouth avenue south. Minneapolis. The choir has been in active preparation, and the most excellent program is used. The ladies guild will serve refreshments. Admission 15 cents. That's What the Varsity Circus and Menagectic is—Don't Miss It. The World's greatest indoor circus will be given at the University armory next Friday and Saturday, March 10th and 11th. Three performances will be given with a complete change of program for each performance. The circus will be given under one of Ringling Bros.' huge tents within the armory. There will be three rings, four bands of music and five hundred performers. Fourteen elegant displays have been arranged besides an after concert, side shows and a wonderful menagerie, containing all the animals known in captivity; the wonderful white elephant, the blue cow and the tall giraffe with a knot in his neck. Among the side show attractions will be seen Wang Chow Chow, king of the opium smugglers, who was captured at San Francisco through the disloyalty of his subordinates. He was surrounded by eighteen revenue officers, the cream of the service, and even then he would have escaped had he not been brought down by a blow from a crowbar on the back of his head. The men were killed in the attack and not escaped uninjured. His countenance resembles a cross between a corkscrew and a scrambled egg. Wang Chow Chow will be on exhibition at every performance of the big show. Other attractions are the wonderful Louisiana mud man, who cannot live a moment out of his pool of mud, Uncle Sam's pet chicken, the glass eating newsboy, etc., etc. Society will turn out in force to attend this big show, many society people having already subscribed for reserved seats. Gov. Johnson, Mayor Jones, Mayor Smith and others present. All who miss the great show will miss one of the greatest opportunities of seeing a big show that was ever offered. THE APPEAL ARTICLE On the Connor Murder Brings the Authorities to Time. The article in THE APPEAL of last week stating the action of the Hennepin county authorities in reference to the shooting of Richard Connor had the effect of awakening them to a sense of their duty in the matter. Even so soon as Sunday the county attorney's office put itself in communication with Mr. J. H. Dillingham by 'phone which resulted in several conferences with the county attorney and finally Mr. Dillingham and other witnesses were summoned to appear before the grand jury. In the meanwhile a requisition was obtained from the governor and a deputy sheriff started for the east to bring back the accused. W. R. Morris, Esq., was appointed as an assistant in the office and he was sent to Pittsburgh to determine his witnesses were needed to the Williams & Walker company. The grand jury has had the matter under advisement and it is confidently believed that it will return an indictment for murder in the first degree. Mr. Dillingham has expressed himself as very highly pleased with the manner in which the county attorney has worked on the case since, he learned the true facts in the same and he seems to be sparing neither money nor labor to bring the accused to the bar of justice. He also feels much satisfaction in thus being able to show his interest in and friendship for the Connor family. Have you seen the new magazine, "THE VOICE OF THE NEGRO?"

There was an excellent man who, after serving his fellow citizens in Glasgow as a councillor, at length was promoted to the dignity of bailie, or alderman, as the rank is called in England. Though he was none the worse on that account, it is the simple fact that his education had been neglected. This he proceeded to prove—himself happily unconscious—in his speech of thanks: "I canna but say, my friends, that I am proud of the honor of being made a bailie of this great city; and I am even, I think, entitled to the honor, for I have gone through a' the various stages o' degradation that a bailie has to do to reach it!" This recalls the famous story of the councillor who objected to a proposal to place a candelabra in the council! chamber on the ground that they would need to pay one to play it! Her Transformation. She drank quantities of water, ate a lot of starchey foods. She exercised every day; She assimilated hictc and a case of multied goods. But it seemed her fate to have to fade away. She so mourned attenuation, with a vage like an owl's. That smile upon her face was never seen; While below her mouth were wrinkles, and above her eyes were scourds, And those was like a hutched in between. But one day she fell to laughing in a strange, hysteric way. Just in thinking how ridiculous it proved. And it mellowed to a cackle that was sane enough, they say. And she she giggled out she moved. Why, she chuckled out her wrinkles, and she snucked off her frowns. And she took out all the things she shouldn't do; Now she's grown as fat as butter, and she laughs away at that disaster, too. —Elliot Walker in the Woman's Home Companion. Turquoise the Stone of the East. The best turquoise are found in the celebrated Nishapur mines in Persia, in which district are two whole villages inhabited by turquoise miners, who work at a depth of eighty or ninety feet below the ground, breaking the rock with hammers. Upon a turquise being discovered, it is laid aside in its rough state, and afterwards extracted from its matrix by an elaborate method. Besides these mines, there are others known as khaki (earth) mines, in which the gems are found in loose soil, two or three feet below the surface. No Oriental, however poor, but manages to become possessed of a turquise, even if it is only in a tin setting. Spaniels Always on Duty. Spaniels are full of resource, and their exploits in retrieving wounded birds are wonderful. A small brown and white spaniel, broke its foreleg, which was set in stiff bandages hardened with some preparation. It could only go on three legs, but hopped out after its master with the other dogs when these were taken for a walk. There had been a pheasant shoot, and the little spaniel could not resist slipping off to smell down the side of a small belt. It discovered a winged cock pheasant, dashed after it on three legs and caught and retrieved it, hopping into the road with the big bird in its mouth.—County Gentleman (London). Cultivate the Memory. Many people complain of having a poor memory, and that yet faculty can be developed as easily as can the biceps muscle. Nor is it necessary to go to any professor of memory or to master any elaborate system in order to accomplish this result. One does not have to go to a gymnasium to strengthen the arm or back. Chopping wood or rowing a boat will do it. Similarly, memory may be cultivated by an effort and amid ordinary pursuits. First Life Insurance Policy First Life Insurance Policy. The first life insurance policy of which the details are on record resulted in a lawsuit: William Gybons insured himself on June 15, 1583, for £383 against dying in twelve months; he did die on May 18 of the next year—and the disgusted underwriters (the company of those days) contested payment on the plea that he had lived twelve months of twenty-eight days each—The World's Work.

Wines, Liquors and Cigars -- 40 East Third St., ST. PAUL. Mighty Picturesque, with Hospitable Notions of His Own. An artist in New York has a Moor for a servant. The artist found him dancing in a side show at the fair, and they had a little chat between dances. It was a one-sided chat for the Moor knows little English, though he knew enough English or human nature to say that he had been a servant of the Sultans. Before the Moor danced again the artist had asked him to be his servant. "The Moor could not say, modestly, "What, in this attire?" for his scarlet robes and turban were gorgeous; but he did murmur something about being dressed differently from American servants. The artist wanted him as he was, and said so. So as he is, in scarlet grandeur, he waits on the artist's studio apartments. The guests hold their breath a little when the enormous man in red enters the room to do the tea chores. The artist, however, breathes evenly. The Moor has a trick of hospitality toward his employer's guests of which, perhaps, it would be well for the artist to break him, as it proves nerve shattering to the unitized. He solemnly takes it upon himself to greet each guest, as he or she arrives, with profered hand and the plaintive murmur, "My friend." Perhaps the artist thinks it is better not to correct the Moor. He is a very big man, and the artist treats him politely. LITTLE TROUBLE TO LEARN. Sandy's First Attempt at Feat an Unqualified Success. A Scottish gillie was invited by the laird to take a pull at his flask after gaffing the first fish of the day. "I canna trink out of a bottle," protested the gillie, with a frown of disapproval. "Aweel, try, Sandy," said the laird encouragingly. And Sandy tried—tried so thoroughly that the laird gazed in lamenting awe and admiration as the whisky gurgled and gurgled out of the flask down the swarthy throat, until, with scarce a heel tap left in it, the "pocket pistol" was handed back to the owner. "Hoot, Sandy, maybe ye were right—maybe ye canna trink out of a bottle," gasped the laird, with a mighty sigh, "but, eh, mon, ye'd soon learn!"—Bailey's Magazine. When Cannon Were a Novelty. There is an amusing description by Munro, an old Scottish soldier, of the effect of cannon, when they were new weapons of warfare. "For a long time," he says, "used for the battering down of walls and cities, they were at last used in the field to break squadrons and batallies of horse and foot. And how soone the trumpet did sound the enemy was thundered on so that they were cruelly affrighte, men of valor be suddenly taken away, who before were wont to fight valiantly and long with sword and launce. But now men are martyrised and cut down at more than half a mile of distance by those furious and thundering engines of great cannon." Love's Way. Love makes the heart so light, so light, Like thistle-down its upward flight; Like a flower in the wind; And heaven so very near the day. Love comes a-knacking at our door. Love comes a-knacking at our door. Care cannot hurt, nor sorrow blight The heart that love has made so light. Will Cheapen Old Violins. Are we about to witness a slump in "Strads" and other old violins? A letter received in Rome, from Bucharest, states that an Italian artist named Antonio Bonardi, long resident there, has found a method of greatly improving the quality of tone in violins. This result is secured by a certain modification of the shape, especially at the narrower part, rendering the instrument at the same time more elegant in form. It is stated that at a recent musical conversazione, the Bonardi instrument, although made of new wood, was tried against an old Guadagnin with triumphant results.—London Globe. Keep Plant in Room With Piano. Keep Plant in Room With Piano. A growing plant should be kept in the room with a piano, says a pianotuner. As long as the plant thrives the piano will. The reason that a piano is injured by a dry, overheated room is that all the moisture is taken out of the sounding board. The board is forced into the case so tightly that it bulges up in the center and though the wood is supposed to be as dry as possible when this is done it contains some moisture and gathers more on. An Assumed Right. It would appear that marriage gives to the husband in Jamaica peculiar rights, if one may judge from the remark of a native woman who came to a magistrate to make complaint because a man had knocked her down. She closed her complaint by saying, in an aggrieved tone, "And he had no good right to knock me down; he is not my husband."—Woman's Home Companion. Position in Sleep. According to Dr. Fischer of Berlin, the most effective position of sleep for obtaining intellectual rest is to keep the head low and the feet slightly elevated. Failing this, the body should, at any rate, be horizontal, so as to irrigate the brain well. The habit of sleeping with head low and feet high is, according to the doctor, a remedy for brain troubles and some internal maladies. It can be adopted gradually.

Fill a book One of the Best Known of Devotees of the Ancient Game. One of the best golfers that ever laid out a course or drove a ball was old Tom Morris. They called him "old" to distinguish him from his son, who was the most brilliant player of his time, and to whose memory a fine monument was erected over his grave in St. Andrews. Once, when old Tom was greenkeeper at Prestwick, in Ayrshire, he took part in a foursome, his partner being Capt. Wolfe Murray. Next day the postman handed Tom a letter simply addressed to "The Misser of Short Putts, Prestwick." This shows how well known Tom was, and also what had been wrong with his play in the match. When the question of Sunday play was being discussed, Tom was asked for his opinion. "Well," he said, "if man doesna need a rest, I ken the green does." He retired from the post of greenkeeper to the Royal and Ancient Club of St. Andrews at the age of 82 years, but in spite of his great age, played a fine game to the very last. PLAYED WITH POSTAGE STAMP. Wide-Awake Youngster Kept Quiet While Father Worked. "I've found a new use for my postage stamps," said a pater-familias the other day. "I was left at home to take care of our ten-months-old boy while my wife was out bargain hunting. It was my plan to put the little fellow to sleep, then get at the pile of unanswered letters on my desk. My plans miscarried—for awhile. The little chap persisted in 'staying awake and clamoring for my attention. I devised many forms of amusement for him, but none lasted long enough for me to get really to work. "In looking about for something which should insure me more than a breathing spell I caught sight of a bright, new two-cent postage stamp. I thought of the little fellow's love for color—took the stamp and pasted it securely on the palm of his hand. It was a grand success. He played with that newly decorated hand for an hour—then relief came in the return of his mother." Benny on the Boa Constrictor. Benny on the Boa Constrictor. The boa constrictor is a large snake with scales on its outside and a stomach sixteen feet long. It lives in warm countries, where there is a great deal of rain and jungles, and has a tongue that looks like a streak of lightning flashing athwart the pale horizon. When you see a boa constrictor in a cage you think how much better it would feel if it could go out and stretch itself, but alas, it cannot. When my Uncle Hiram was kind of sick once he said he saw a red boa constrictor with horns on its head, but no one else in the apartment could see it. The boa constrictor can be trained so it will let a lady with her hair all frizzled take it out of a box and bend it around her neck, but I would rather play with a pet kitten, which is warmer and more affectionate—Chicago Tribune. The Original Telegraph. Claude Chappe, who drowned himself in a well on January 3 a hundred years ago, was described in his time as "the inventor of the telegraph," says the London Telegraph. It was not the electric telegraph that we know, of course, but a very primitive wireless contrivance, a semaphore, in fact, consisting of an upright post, a transverse bar on the top and two arms working on pivots at the ends of this bar. By means of a code and the placing of a series of these posts so that each could be seen from the next, messages were carried over fifty leagues in a quarter of an hour. The French legislative assembly adopted the system; but insinuations that Chappe had stolen it from others preyed upon his mind and drove him to suicide. How can we doubt that God's above When those we love return our love? The future's dream and dark or bright To match the dreams you had last night Resisting an Officer. The truth of the following is vouchered for by a correspondent: An Irish drayman in small village was elected constable. The morning after election, while doing his customary business with a pair of old horses that had seen many better days, and with a long stick for a whip jabbing first one and then the other, he was heard to say: "Git up, here, git up, ye lazy ould crow bats, git up. I never seed the like of ye zef. I'll have yez arrested for resisting an officer of the la."—Law Notes. Turquoise a Man's Gem. Two or three centuries ago, no gentleman thought his hand adorned unless he wore a fine turquoise; but the gem was less a favorite with ladies. It was esteemed as the noblest and most valuable of opaque stones, and was supposed to relieve or prevent headaches, reconcile lovers, and appease hatred. In astrology, the turquoise is symbolic of Saturn. The stone derives its name from Turkey, where it is found. Triumph of Good Manners. Before the gentler measures of international high breeding the mischievous maxim, "Our Country, Right or Wrong," must increasingly give up the Contury. Willingness to acknowledge a fault, disinclination to medice in the affairs of others, sympathy for the weak against the oppressor, patience and reason as against petulance, rashness and force, are as possible to a nation as to an individual. A people should be as jealous of the national, gentlemanliness as of the national credit.
