An Apostrophe to Idleness Retain Activity of Interest To Fathom Stars' Secrets VOL. 21. NO. 29. Whales are captured in nets by the Japanese. The whalers put off from the shore as quietly as possible and when they come within the proper distance of their objective the boats, which have hitherto worked in couples, separate and, dropping their nets as they go, work round to the rear of the whale and move the nets are made in large squares, each side being about forty feet long. One net is composed of six squares in line and the squares are fastened to each other lightly. When all is ready the boats which have worked round to the rear of the whale then commence to drive him gently toward the nets. Moving along lazily at first, the whale soon realizes that something untoward is happening, and, hurrying forward, bakes into one of the nets. This is the whale's first motion, and the hermen see that the whale is well in the center of one of the squares they raise a great shout and charge in upon him. When the whale is about spent a man chosen or his strength is needed. The whale is for fitness for Ah, dear Idleness, how shall I bodeck thee? Drew playmate, dreaming in the shade!

It is not that people live longer on the average than they once did—a disputed point of vital statistics—but that they live longer during a normal life in maintaining activity of interest up to the last. This is evident, despite an occasional and perhaps growing tendency to impose an age limit of forty in more strenuous physical service where, under pressure of competition, further pressure is required. In equal life, similarly, the peculiar badges and distinctions of age are increasingly discarded. The passing of a once familiar type of grandmother, at least, to the oldest of us, is an illustration—a lovely old lady in a black silk gown, wearing a cap with strings and a neckerchief, the inevitable book or work bag in her lap, conversation with her being supposed to be concerned principally with "what she did when she was a Waterford, Vt., a town containing many prosperous and enterprising farmers, is proud of Winfield S. Hastings, and Mr. Hastings is justly proud of his round barn, says the Boston Globe. Though built solely for use it has, nevertheless, attracted much attention, and over 2,500 persons have driven up the hilly road from the valley of the Passumpiscio to the high ridge of land where his 400-acre farm ties. Mr. Hastings runs a dairy farm and the barn was built in this way, as he believed it would be more serviceable than any other kind. It is eighty feet in diameter and the basement contains no posts, but is trussed with timber climbers 21 feet long, radiating from the center like spokes in a wheel. Around the wall are the nests for a flock of 100 heens, which contribute twenty-five dozen of eggs to the weekly product of the farm. Eight octagonal stiles, all connected, encircle the silo and furnish a home for forty pigs. Housed in a modest, unassuming brick structure standing just around the corner from Lake avenue, Profs. Barnard and Ritchey are just now beginning an important work in connection with the installation of the great Yerkes telescope on Mount Wilson, says the Los Angeles Times. Six months ago the proposition was made to the board of trade that if that body would agree to furnish a suitable site the observatory people would put up a workshop and manufacture all their delicate instruments in Pasadena. The offer was accepted and a committee raised the funds and presented the company the present site on Santa Barbara street. The workshop buildings have just been completed and are now in occupancy, giving employment to several score of men. By all odds the most interesting object in the workshop is the wonderful five-foot telescope, lens, which has THE APPEAL. his work then leaps upon his back and with a great triangular-shaped knife proceeds to cut two great gashes in his body just back of his head. Through the underlying blubber and these two gashes he passes a rope and, knotting it, makes a loop of it. He then repeats the same operation as far back on his body as he can. When the fight has been completely knocked out of the whale boats range alongside of him and by the help of the loops already mentioned the hapless cetacean is slung between them in such a manner as to minimize the danger of his carass' sinking. Then the boats form in procession, and make for the shore, there commences the most curious part of the whole affair, with real experience. In the most solemn manner possible, begin a chanting prayer for the case of the departing spirit by calling out, 'Joraku! Joraku! Joraku!' in low, deep tones.

The guests, including many notables of the day, paid their respects to her, exchanged a few words and then withdrew." This conformed to what was expected of the wife of payee monious deference to age according to an arbitrary distinction of birthdays. This change in social attitude toward age truly reflects, as is widely recognized, the changed actual attitude, the attitude of encouragement in continued activity in business, professional or political effort, regardless of conventional limit. That such a change contributes greatly to the promotion of individual happiness in the aggregate, however, it may handicap race efficiency in an industrial age, is hardly open to question. The silo occupies the center of the building and performs the double duty of storing 400 tons of onslage and supporting the rafters that radiate from it on each floor. The silo itself is even feet in diameter and fifty for high. The cows occupy the first floor of the barn and enter from the ground on an inclined plane. Arranged in a circle around the room are the stalls for eight-four cows and thirteen stanchions for the calves. Mr. Hastings has at present a herd of fifty grade cattle, a weekly butter product of 200 pounds. The big hayloft on the upper floor is entered from the ground through big doors. This room has a capacity of 175 tons of hay. The building is well lighted on every floor, while ventilators extend through every part of the building to the roof.

In order to complete this convex lens a block of glass eight inches in thickness is being ground to a minimum depth of three-quarters of an inch, and so great is the precision required that the finished lens must conform to within one,2,000,000th of an inch of its proper measurement. This measurement must be taken by means of light and complicated figures, it being obviously impossible to take the measurements in the regular way. The great mirror will then be silveryed and mounted. The mounting is perhaps the most tedious thing of all, for it will require twelve plates to back up the crystal mass, each plate supporting exactly one-twelfth of the total weight of one ton. This great five-foot lens will be used in photographing dim nebulae and will have a focal depth of twenty-five feet. The temperature of distant stars will also be measured by them. Aged Custodian of Paine Monument Asks for Relief Tom Paine Monument At New Rochelle. Capt. George W. Lloyd, the aged custodian of the monument of Thomas Paine in North street, New Rochelle, is circulating a petition asking that the city of New Rochelle assume the task that he has been performing gratuitously for many years. Capt. Lloyd has reached his 86th year, and now that the infirmities of age are beginning to tell on his once rugged constitution he feels himself compelled toYet he is unwilling to give up his self-imposed duty until he is assured that it shall be attended to by some other responsible party. His desire is that the municipality of New Rochelle shall accept the monument of the author of "The Age of Reason" as a public charge and care for it in perpetuity. A great change has taken place in public opinion since Paine was buried in New Rochelle at the beginning of his career, and his followers prevailed against his teachings that the Episcopalians of the city would not allow a grave to be dug for him in the churchyard, and his followers buried his body near his old farm in North street. The funeral procession as it passed along the highway was derided by church people, and the church bells were rung in jubilation over his death. Now all of this spirit has melted away. It is probable that the Board of the church accepts the monument and see that it is properly preserved as one of the landmarks of the city. Recently the city authorities, in improving North street and converting it into a boulevard, moved the monument to a better location and enclosed it with an iron fence, adding greatly to the appearance of the plot. The monument marks the supposed location of the grave in which Paline's remains were laid in 1800 and from which they were stolen by direction of Cobbett, the English radical, ten years later. If the petition of Capt. Lloyd prevails, it is proposed to have the ceremony of turning the monument over to the city take place on July 4. For nearly forty years Capt. Lloyd has guarded the tomb and been the Tom Paine At New Ro chief apostle of the doctrines of Paine in New Rochelle. There has never been any pay attached to his duties. Capt. Lloyd has visited the monument regularly during all these years to see that it was not desecrated by religious fanatics, and on holiday occasions he has decorated it with flowers. Capt. Lloyd is an extremist on the subject of personal liberty and, like Palne, has risked his life in the defense of his convictions. In the days of the civil war he was so radical on the question of States' rights that he actually ran for office in New Rochelle on a ticket. The Confederate on the ground, and so angered the citizens that a mob attempted to hang him, and failing in this, drove him out of town. Horace Greeley, writing in the incident at the time, denounced Lloyd and said that he was "hungering for some of Jeff Davis' rations." The surmise was correct, for Lloyd, after fleeing from New Rochelle, joined the Confederates and became a spy. Until this day he is accused by some of the veterans of New Rochelle of having been one of the keepers of Liby prison, but he has always vigorously denied this charge. Capt. Lloyd's own account of his career is interesting. He says that he was born in Providence and attended two weeks, when he was turned out for kissing a girl in the classroom. His only subsequent education was obtained by reading the dictionary. A few years later his radical spirit burst forth and he became one of the leaders of the Dorr rebellion against property qualifications in Rhode Island. For his prominence in this affair he was obliged to flee to New York. Just previous to the outbreak of the civil war Lloyd went to New Rochelle and was appointed to an office in the New York Custom House under Buchanan. It was while holding this of Rochelle on the platform Indorsing the Confederacy. The feeling against him became so intense that on Oct. 16, 1861, a band of citizens visited his home at night and told him that he would have to hoist the Stars and Stripes or they would hang him and burn the house. Lloyd refused to comply with the demand. Despite the assistance of his wife, who attempted to defend the house with a small ship's cannon, the mob broke in and dragged him out. Lloyd fought with his captors and managed to escape to New York. This experience so enraged him that he decided to join the Confederate army as a spy. Hastening to Washington, he was introduced to John C. Breckenridge by a relative, and was told where he could join the Confederates. Capt. Lloyd walked seven days and seven nights until he reached Green River, in Kentucky. When within twenty-five miles of Pike's camp he met a party of cavalrymen and submitted him to a prisoner ofaten at once suspected him of being a Kaneke spy and demanded his pass. Lloyd had forgotten to obtain a pass from Breckenridge and despite his protests he was arrested and taken into the rebel camp. There he was taken before Roger Hanson, commander of the Second Kentucky Cavalry, who, after hearing his story, asked him to prove his loyalty by swearing himself into the Confederate army. This the prisoner declined to do, on the ground that Kentucky was not a Confederate state because she had not seceded. The cavalry commander was angered by Lloyd obstinacy that he drew him into the guard house. One him into the guard house. He was W. P. Breckenridge, then a private, who had been court-martialled for sleeping, on sentry duty. For several days before the Confederates received a telegram from their Secretary of War saying that Lloyd was all right he was kept busy helping the cook and playing the fife at guard mount. He then went to Richmond. On the way he stopped a week later and met the widow of the widow of President James K. Polk, whom Lloyd describes as one of the most accomplished women he ever met. In the siege of Richmond Lloyd did duty for various generals as a spy, often personating a bedier and going within the Union lines. He was arrested on several occasions, but was released because that he was released from custody. In the great seven days fight he drove an ambulance and helped to e Monument rochelle. bring in the wounded to the hospitals. It is during this period that Lloyd has been accused of having been a keeper in Libry prison, and there are old soldiers in New Rochelle who declare to this day that they saw him peering into the prison pen at them. Capt. Lloyd denies this, but it is certain that he knows more about the prison than he has ever told. During his stay in Richmond Lloyd took a course to make 10,000 couches, for which he received $1,000 in Confederate money. With his earnings sowed in a belt he sent out for New York in 1864 in disguise, carrying also 500 letters from the Provost Marshal of Richmond to Northern sympathizers of the Confederacy. He remained in New York, making secret visits to his wife and family, until the war closed and it was safe for him to return to New Rochelle. For many years Lloyd followed the sea, for a living, running a fishing smack on Long Island Sound and renting boats. A few years ago his fishing boat was sunk by some mischievous boys, and the old man, "sick and torn to pieces," as he expressed it, gave up seawatching. Capt. Lloyd is a wellread man. He has numbered among his acquaintances George Francis Train, Senator Tillman, Tom Watson and William Jennings Bryan. When Capt. Lloyd appeared at the Populist convention in Cincinnati a few years ago he was so patriarchal in appearance that the delegates selzed on him and attired him to represent Uncle Sam. Lloyd accepted the part with his characteristic good nature. He was so bitter against the gold standard at that time that he paid his fare to Cincinnati and return with silver dollars—New York Sun. Case of Pie Versus Tart. Usage alone must decide the issue between "pie" and "tart," which has returned to us with the gooseberries. Philology, at any rate, draws no clear distinction. It only traces back "tart" to the Latin "tortus," twisted—the pastry being the twisted part, of course; while it is very doubtful about "ple." On the whole, Skale's conjecture that this expresses the miscellaneous nature of the contents is paralleled back to the original one, the magpie—in Latin, "plea"—from whose black and white aspect come "pied" and "plebald." The old ordinal or service book was called "pica" or "ple" because of the appearance of the black letter type on the white page; and the edible plea, having equally mixed contents, may have been christened after this by medial humor. Printers language retains the "ple" and "ple" for type all lumped up—London Chronicle. HOW TO CONTROL A VOICE. British Officer Says Nature Is Not the Sole, Regulator. To a recent issue of the British Medical Journal Medical R. F. E. Austin of Intarfa, Malta, contributed a paper on commonly overlooked factors in vocal mechanism, in which he asserts that the universal idea that all naturally possess either good, bad or indifferent voices is wrong and contends that nature is directly responsible for one and only one of these conditions, and that the others must be attributed to man's unconscious departure from nature's laws. It will be news to many that by far the greater number do not possess full control of the adductor muscles of the cords and are therefore unable to place and keep the cords in the position they are supposed to quickly. The authors that it is surprising what a number of professional voice users, as well as amateurs, fall in this respect. According to his thinking, the majority of voices are lost not from overwork but as a result of improper emission. Major Austin contends that in order to obtain quickly the thorough control of any muscles or set of muscles they should be developed by brisk movements, which fully contract then in the case of the adductor muscles of the cords this can only be done by using the voice in a most inartistic although physiological manner. This is to say, words should be spoken or written in acute penetrating tones ("pat-wat-quack" be given as an excellent phrase for the purpose). The voice should be extended in this and down, note by note, in this manner until the limits of the compass are reached. Classification into soprano, baritone, etc., Capt George W. Lloyd Custodian of Pante Monument should not be attempted before this has been done. Just Meandering. A city girl writes: "It is a fond dream of mine to be a farmer's wife and meander with him down life's pathway." Ah, yes, that is a nice thing; but when your husband means off and leaves you without wood and you have to meander up and down the lace pulling splinters off the fence to cook dinner, and when you mean along in the wet grass in search of the cows till your shoes are the color of rawhide and your stockings soaked and when you meander out across twenty acres of plowed ground with a club to drive the hogs out of the corn field and tear your dress on the floor. You can go back home to the house, find that the billy goat has butted the stuffin' out of your child and find the old hen with forty chickens in the parlor, you'll put your hands on your hips and realize that meandering is not what it is cracked up to be—Osborne (Kan.)

The third time they made the attempt the negro tollman shut his gate, and brought them to a stand. With indignation the half-dozen occupants of the car declared they were entitled to ride free. "Look at your own board," said the spookman. "It says, 'Every carriage, cart or wagon drawn by one beast, 2 cents; every additional beast, 2 cents.' We're not drawn by any beast at all." "No, but here's where ye come in, sah," replied the darky, pointing to another clause, as follows: "Every half-dozen hogs, 4 cents.' An three times four is twelve," he added.

MINNESOTA Method of Killing Seals Is Paradise for Pirates The Joys of Reminiscence Queer Dishes of Chinamen Fire Worship in Scotland Fire Worship in Scotland John Scudder McLain in his "Alaska" thus describes the business of securing sealskins: "The killing is always done early in the morning when the temperature is lowest. It was 5 o'clock in the morning when we left the ship. The killing season was practically over, but the agents had arranged a drive for our benefit. The seals were bulls, or 'beachmasters', as they are called, and the cows and their pups occupying the rocks nearest the water, while the bachelors, the young unmatched males, are forced to go farther up the beach. As only the bachelors are killed for their skins, this natural division facilitates the work of the drivers in making their selections. Two or three drivers slip in and 'cut out', as the cowbows would say, a bunch for the day's killing. They proceed to the pier, where they plunge pieces of boards together and beating on tin cans. The seals are frightened and the squirmig huddling mass is gradually forced away from the rookery. "Now here they come, bieating like a flock of sheep, ambling in their awkward fashion through the tall grass. The young males and the few females which the drivers will not try to separate from the herd until the killing ground is reached offer no resistance. But the two or three old Piracy flourishes in the Canton delta and along the China coast in that vicinity. The last report of the British consul-general at Canton has an interesting story of this modern piracy. During the past year there were half a dozen serious organized attacks on British steam launches. Chinese passenger launches and boats are frequently held up and plundered. Complaints are made to the local authorities, but nothing is really done to protect trade. Even within the precincts of the harbor pirates and robbers plunder and root with impunity. These are themselves best they may and such is their fear and dread of having anything to do with Chinese authorities that no man, whatever his grievance or wrong, will readily venture to apply to the magistrate for assistance or redress.

The flower has a peculiar flavor and requires a taste educated by many trials before it can be fully appreciated; but Chinese epicures and a few New Yorkers who enjoy Chinese foods frequently pay fancy prices for chrysanthemums, which they take to the Chinese chefs to have prepared for them. The old-fashioned nasturtium, the rose and the violet seem to please the American taste. For luncheon an element of intercourse is always added by introducing the chafing dish at table. The flower desserts are particularly adapted for luncheons because of the blossoms' beauty and fragrance as well as the novelty of preparing them for food. To make the dessert, or the "blossom delight," as some enthusiasts call it. Recrinitescences of the pre-Christian days of Baal worship and fire worship are still to be found occasionally in Scotland. A few years ago, a traveler wrote: "On the last day of the year, old style, which falls on Jan. 12, the festival of the 'clavie' takes place in Burghead, a fishing town near Forres. On a headland in that village still stands an old Roman altar, locally called the douro.

As they are driven to the killing grounds their gait is a sort of canter, as they raise themselves on their flippers and then pull their heavy bodies up.

Those who do the killing are natives who are expert at the business, each armed with a stout club about five feet long and three inches thick at the heavy end. They cut out twenty or thirty of the struggling creatures, and striking each one on the head, crush the soft, thin skull. Death is instantaneous. As the club falls with a thud upon each graceful head those that have escaped the first crushing blow seem to become conscious of their impending fate and their appearing eyes, soft as those of a deer, the plaintive claws and their accompanying efforts to escape would certainly stay the arm of a schoolboy by years to do this work.

From the silk districts come repeated complaints of blackmailing by local bandits. Foreign goods sent into the interior under transit passes are pirated and only in one single instance, after eighteen months of arguing and battling with the officials, has a foreign consul succeeded in obtaining the recovery of a few articles and the arrest of a few men, who the magistrate gravely says are the culprits. In one case a Hongkong junk was pirated and the cargo landed in broad daylight under the eyes of the local officials by the villagers, yet nothing in the air matters remained. The Kwangsi rebellion, which has taxed all the resources of the provincial government to suppress, was the direct outcome or corruption and peculation.

For a stolid and stupid indulgence of race prejudice, the Caucasian of the United States is the most unreasoning and unreasonable biped that struts upon the face of the earth. He regards it as one of his faults. He invokes the crown of King Crow and defraud and lynch the man of different color at his pleasure, provided, always, that the victim aforesaid is defenseless. So, the our Caucasian brothers having daily satisfied himself that the Chinaman was substantially defenseless, has for several years, been "going for that heathen China," and he has taught the hapless Asatic that Jordan is a hard road to travel. That eminent statesman, Dennis Kearney, attained great distinction as the high priest of the cult of harrying the Chinee. Sanctimonious divines seeking new jobs or trying to hold old ones, prove that when St. Paul asserted the God of offspring all mankind of the earth, he was running for the office of treasurer and seeking to capture the votes of the hill-billies like Jeff Davis and Vardaman. And all went merry as a marriage bell up to date, but within a short time the discovery has been made that the heathen Chinee is not defenseless; the American goods and the American processes. He is perhaps the largest consumer of certain classes of American products; and moreover it is becoming evident that John knows how to handle his defensive weapons and proposes to do that very thing. The heathen Chine will boycott American goods and any merchant caught handling them will be heavily It is evident that the China has discovered that the heel of the American Achilles has not been dipped in the river Styx; that he can listen with great consideration to the dollars and dollars and dollars and dimes. He certainly has learned from Mosea Bigelow, that "Taint a known 'kind of cattle,' that is ketched with mouldy corn." So he has learned that the tocin has been sounded; and the fuzzy-guzzy will be brought into requisition in due time. The leading papers all over the country have taken up the matter and demand that the Chinese give them what the Chinese. There is no sentiment about the matter, no question of humanity; the considerations are all material; but the press is very much in earnest for the great American pocket book has been touched. What has caught our white brother has to say for the luxury of making the Chinaman wish that he had never been born, is the shutting down of the New England mills and factories, and the cotton bales a drug on the market. revise some of their color-line theories.

The American people will day's session an automobile expedition will carry visitors about the city and through Central Park, visiting all points of interest; on the afternoon of the second day a large excursion delegates for a ride up the Hudson river; on the evening of the third and last day a banquet, being arranged to eclipse any similar affair ever given here, will be tendered the delegates.

There was a time when the unwashed Democracy delighted in describing the President as a spectaculair performer on the flying trapeze, who was always on dress parade, and who would light in the Nation into useless war. But just at the time when they had as they supposed made an unanswerable demonstration of that proposition, the President pulverizes all their flapdoodle by stepping in between the parade and the Nation attaining the unattainable. The "one-gallus fellers" may now join in singing the following lines: But soon a wonder came to light. That showed the rogues they led. The man recovered the bite, and that died. At the conclusion of the singing they may "Flee to the mountains of Hespidam where the young lion roareth and the whangdooodle mourneth for its first born." There is room for hoping that Plug Ugly Gorm's scheme for Jim-Crowning Maryland, in order to perpetuate his tenure of office may be defeated.

Sport on His Supposed Deadbed Wanted to Bet With Parson. "That story about Ed Butcher, the noted old lowa racehorse man, reminds me of a tale the boys used to tell of Butcher," said Morris Lynch recently to the Des Moines Register and Leader. "Butcher was a good fellow, as the men who follow the races go. His family was religious. One time Butcher got sick, very sick, in fact. His wife, fearing the end, sent for a minister. Butcher talked to the minister, who urged him that he should not stay away from his God. The road to salvation was not very plain to Butcher. He questioned the minister closely about what he thought would happen if he should reform just prior to his death. The minister told him he would be saved. "Will I have wings just like the picture angels? asked Butcher. "You most certainly will,' replied the minister. "Well, then, I just bet you $5 I can beat you flying when you meet me." retreated Butcher, his eye lighting up with the acustomed flash. "The minister left in despair and Butcher recovered and followed the races for many years afterward." Where the Mule Draws the Line. "When you git home fer your vacation," wrote the old man to the youth at college, "you'll find two young mules I've just bought 'specialy for you to plow; but I warn you in time that you mustn't swear at 'em in Greek, as I don't want 'em to learn any language above their station. I was plowin' my exécute main man I was working with the mules he plowin'扎 he made a few remarks in Latin. So, be keerful!"—Atlanta Constitution. In Chapter I, the author says: "If there was slavery I was deprecated by the men who formed the Constitution; who, recognizant with Christian civilization, inconsistent with Christian civilization, inconsistent with the great principles of civil liberties and which constitute the basis of our Republic, refrained from inserting in that constitution the taint of slavery and the weeping from the sense dependent upon sectionalism. Its ultimate extinction was generalized to be the rule. This came early north of Maryland, and it is not unreasonable that the abolition of the African slave trade, an institution would have followed in Delaware, North Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee." "Opposition to the institution of slavery was sinfulness or from economic and social policies. The resistance of those who with Mr. Jefferson condemned it because impotent as his or succeeds to the viciousness of other denominations in the employment of its source in religious feelings played an important part in the creation of a more just society, or in other denominations in the employment of outspoken utterances in the P-eschyrian, Baptist and Methodist churches at an important place in Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee." "Some years ago one who had been conspired with the anti-slavery endeavor to endow his faithfulness of current history in dealing with faithfulness of modern abolitionism, thereupon he was entitled to be styled the first Apostle to the Church of Jesus Christ who challenged "the truth of history," clearly established the claims of Apostle John Lundy or Garrison, but strangely overlooked the claims of another whose career was particularly interesting and of his anti-slavery sentiments. "When about 26 years of age he sought to arouse the consciences of slaveholders and wrote an essay entitled 'Constitution of the United States' his death in 1772, his journal, which was published, had a wide circulation. It shows that he was a victim of the punishment.

When Mr. Buchanan was born in 1750, he was an executive.

FURNITURE SENSE Some people who are not given to thinking imagine that a house that sells on the installment plan necessarily carries trashy merchandise. Nothing is farther from the truth, so far as this house is concerned. For 22 years we have catered to the wants of the people of the Northwest and never a dissatisfied customer. The goods we carry are made by the VERY BEST MANUFACTURERS in America, and the only difference in this house and others which claim to be exclusive and high-class is that we make good furniture easy for the man of modest means, while the so-called exclusive houses shut him off entirely by making him pay cash. Again, it is thought by some that an installment house asks higher prices than those which sell for cash. This is another "visionary theory," which is so far from the truth as to be ridiculous. One visit here will explode it. We sell at lower prices than any exclusive house, and WE GIVE YOU CREDIT BECAUSE WE KNOW YOU NEED IT, and because we can sell twice as much merchandise that way as we can for cash. Take these matters home and think them over. They are worth the consideration of any sane man or woman. The Colonnade Dancing Academy had a splendid crowd on last Wednesday evening and all enjoyed themselves. The splendid music by Prof. Lafayette Mason and Armant's orchestra gave the usual satisfaction. Armant's orchestra will be present at all the assemblies of the Colonnade Dancing Academy, corner of University and Farrington Aves. Be sure to attend next Wednesday evening, Arthur Winstead, principal. The Colonnade Dancing Academy seems to be pleasing the public immensely as the number of patrons is constantly on the increase. The hall is a very nice one, has a fine floor and everything is as snug as can be. Despite all counter attractions every Wednesday night the usual large and highly pleased crowd is present. Principal Winstead is constantly on the lookout to please his patrons and especial attention is paid to beginners.

VAULT BUILT BY ROMANS. English Archaeologists Delighted Over Rare Find. An old Roman vault has been uncovered at Chiswick, in England, by workmen who were preparing for the foundations of a modern flat building. Now the vault, with its red tiled floor and other marks of Roman days, lies open to the twentieth century skies. The vault measures about fourteen or fifteen feet each way and appears to have been part of the villa of some old Roman centurion. It is directly beneath the cellars of old Sutton court, a great place in the time of Cromwell. Many pieces of valuable pottery of centuries ago have been found, as well as what is believed to have been part of a subterranean passage between Sutton court and the neighboring Chiswick house. It is imagined that the vault and passage figured in the plots and counterplots of the stormy times of Cromwell when his third daughter, the vigorous and strong-minded Maria, lived at Sutton court. The deceived wife may feel that there is no balm in Gilead, but alimony is a pretty good substitute. When you come to say goodbye to old sins, it is unwise to hold a farewell meeting. When a man is complimen'ed, he may not swallow it all, but he thinks there is something in it.—Atchison Globe.

Hamilton, one of the best known barbers in the city, was stricken down Wednesday morning with apoplexy in his shop, corner 15th and Hennepin avenue. He was hurried to the hospital where medical attention was given him, and after several hours he regained consciousness. He is improving slowly. Mr. Lew Johnson, manager of the Twin City R. R. Porters' Club, arrived in the city a few days ago from his six weeks visit to Chicago, St. Louis and for Spring, the plum health and says he is teeling fine and would be glad to meet his friends at the same old place, 112 Fourth street south. GENTRYS EASTERN SHOW. Will Visit St. Paul for First Time Gentrys The circus season in this city is not complete without the annual appearance of the Gentry Brothers' shows, which will play a three days' engagement with two performances each day commencing next Monday afternoon at Dale street near University. The Gentry shows will visit St. Paul's next Monday, the known as their Eastern Circus, and have been constructed on such a scale that only the larger cities are visited. Besides the regular trained animal exhibition they have added a number of big and sensational circus acts this year. The Eastern shows this season comprise 200 highly educated ponies, 150 dog actors, 75 monkeys, baboon and gobbon comedians, two herds of performing elephants, two drove of Siberian camels, and other animals. Among the big circus acts are the marvelous Abachi troupe of Arabian acrobats, ten in number, who are now making their first appearance in this country. The street parade, the finest ever presented by this circus firm, will leave the show grounds at 10 o'clock sharp Monday morning. THE NIAGARA MOVEMENT. Inauguration of New Effort for Better A conference was held in Buffalo this week engaged in mapping out lines of work for the welfare of the race. The conference was called by Prof. W. E. B. DuBois of Atlanta, Ga., author of "The Souls of Black Folk." Representatives were present from fourteen states, and the result of the gathering was the formation of a national organization to be called "The Niagara Movement." This organization has for its officers a general secretary, a general treasurer and an executive committee, composed of state secretaries, who, in turn, are the heads of state committees. A short platform was adopted by the conference espousing the principles of equal education, civil, economic and political opportunities and rights, and advocating freedom of criticism, opposition to a subsidized race press and a united effort to realize these ideals under a wise, pure and courageous leadership. Professor DuBois was elected general secretary of the movement and George H. Jackson of Cincinnati, general treasurer. Among other things the movement will work for compulsory common school attendance for Americans and an increase in high school facilities in the South. There is denunciation of the habit of employers of importing Afro-American laborers in emergencies and then failing to afford them police protection and also the discrimination against Afro-American labor in unions. Rewards are asked for the black soldiers. The people are urged to vote, to respect the rights of others, to work, to obey the laws, to be clean and orderly, to send children to school and to respect themselves. The man who puts heart into his work will always get ahead of it. If a man feareth or faileth to appreciate humor, hard thump his wisdom and there will come a hollow sound. Though the love of money is said to be the root of all evil, it does not follow that the lack of money is the root of all good. Sometimes when it seems that our own particular little world has been knocked into chaos, and all things for us have come to an end, it is merely that we are being born to better things.—Cora Lapham Hazard in New York Tribune.
