Rush of Tourists to Alps Starts New Roll of Rush of Tourists to Alps Starts New Roll of Death The dangerous spot of climbing the Alps is spreading its allurements before tourists, and a never-ending stream is turning toward the snowy heights, Grindewald, Zermatt and Ghamouin, being, as heretofore, the chief points of attraction. There will be deaths in number, for never a season passes but several hundred lives are lost to the ambition to scale the ice-bound precipices. It is never possible to get an account of the total number of casualties in a curving around Northern and Western Italy and touching in several countries cannot be made to yield absolutely accurate statistics. The nearest approach is the roster of the Alpine club, in which is filed the name of every person meeting death in the Swiss Alps, as far as can be discovered. This shows that in six years, from 1898 to 1904, there were 514 fatal accidents. As the Italian yield at least an equal number, it will always around 200 people. The loss is increasing, not diminishing. The Alpine mountainers seek to make light of catastrophes, and say that they could have nearly all been prevented the parties been in charge of competent guides, but this argument does not hold good in the light of the facts. A typical accident, the story of Mr. Sloggett's fall on the Matterhorn, is fairly descriptive of the dangers that menace every climber, even in the hands of guides. With Pietro and Gentinetta, this young Englishman was coming down the mountain after an ascent. At one spot it was necessary to cross a couloir, or gulley of snow and ice, and down this channel fall most of the stones that detach themselves from the shattered face of the peak. Furrer, the leading guide, was making his way over, when a stone, dropping from a considerable height, struck him RESTING ON SUMMIT OF JUNGFRAU. on the head and instantly killed him. The two others, attached by their rope to his dead body, were unable in their precarious foothold, to resist the shock, and were immediately swept away down the couloir at terrific speed. heights. Lost in mountains of ice and snow, bruised and battered by far hundreds of feet, are the bodies many unfortunates, whose last cuz no one heard, and whose fate remains a mystery to this day. Their axes were torn from their grasp, and Gentinetta, who never lost consciousness, was convinced that death mus await them at the end of that awful journey. He retained his presence of mind. About 800 feet below the spot where the party was carried off, a small bergschrund, or crevassse, ran across the ice slope which forms the base of the Matterhorn on its eastern side. Beneath the crevasses are ice cliffs, and any one shooting the bergschrund and falling over these would have a sheer drop which would be fatal. At the time of the accident the cauldron was several feet wide, and into it the two live living men and their dead companion were killed. The chasm was partly filled of stones and sand, and Mr. Sloggett fell face down. His jaw was broken, and he was almost suffocated. Gentinetta, though terribly bruised, seized the helpless form of his employer and pulled him out of the position in which he lay. They were still in great peril, for the accident happened at the hottest part of the day, and every little while falling stones and ice, being freed by the thaw, plunged down the coulur. By an effort that was almost superhuman, Gentinetta managed to take his employer, without the aid of axes, BAT'S SIXTH SENSE One of the Peculiar Effects of Living So Much in Darkness "If you blind a bat," said a biologist, "the creature, somehow, will still see.

Another party came to their assistance later, and the remainder of the descent was safely accomplished. The body of the other guide was recovered from the crevasse the following morning. The body of Henry Arkwright, who CROSSING A DANGEROUS CREVASSE was lost in 1866 by being caught in an avalanche, lay in a crevasse for thirty-one years, till it was recovered in 1897. The ice had served to preserve the body, which was in excellent condition. Even this slight consolation has been denied the families of many of those lost on treacherous mountain.

At the foot of the Gross Glockner, in the Eastern Tyrol, is a little cemetery, where is it said every other grave is the last resting place of the victim of an Alp climbing accident. It is estimated that every summer a matter of some three million persons visit the Alps. Many of these, with the daring of the uninitiated, scout the talk of danger, and insist on going to places which have officially been termed dangerous, and where the guides only go with greatest reluctance. SSE AT SUMMIT OF MONT BLANC. The worst feature of most of the Alpine accidents is that the unfortunates get into predicaments from which no outside help can come to them, even though other persons be near. For example, the guests of a hotel in Southern Switzerland stood on the veranda for three hours and watched two men wage a losing fight with death. They were climbing to a peak over the edge of a vast abyss, having slipped to it from a path above owing to the breaking of a rope. Guides made every effort to reach them but long before any one could make the mountain the strength of the unfortunate was haunted, and those on the veranda had the horror of seeing the men, one by one, weaken, and drop, falling into a chasm so many thousand feet deep that there was no hope even of recovering their bodies. Four students attempted to go up the Olperer in the Swiss Tyrol. They were caught in the path of a landslide without a moment's warning, and with not a chance in the world to themselves, they were swept over the brink of the mountain to die on the rocks below. The fatalities this year are maintaining the average, and have already passed the hundred mark. Woman Commandant. Mrs. Albert H.

Woman Can Double Her Charm by Mastering Facial Expression The woman of to-day who would exercisethe full limit of her charms must educate her features. It is not enough that she be young, pretty and know how to dress. Unless she is mistress of all the changing shades of countenance, she will fall short in attraction of another woman not so well equipped in the essentials, but who knows how to make a mirror of her face. The education of the features the plaited person may take on a certain amount of good looks, while a beautiful woman may become absolutely radiant. The face is capable of an infinite variety of expressions. A good part of the art of the actor consists in knowing how to so dispose his features as to give them the varied expressions of grief, horror, amusement, whimsicality or affection. Why the average pretty woman, so willing to go the limit in other directions to make herself more attractive, has permitted the fertile field of face education to be monopolized by the theatrical people is a riddle. The best things can be done with the eyes and the mouth. Not much is possible with the nose, that is fixed rigid. It can not be made to dimple a tilt be turned into classic Greek. As if to compensate for this, is the fact that almost any shade of expression can be thrown into the mouth and eyes. The mouths of those who are sullen, morose or unhappy are nearly always turned down at the corner.

By constant use of the muscles that pull down the corners of the mouth, a forbidding appearance has been imparted to a face that ought to be cheerful and happy. The remedy for this is not to twist the mouth into a perpetual grin, for this just as uglly as a fixed frown. But keep the lines of the mouth straight normally, so that the occasional smile may seem to spread sunshine over the whole face. Regarding the eyes, it must be remembered that it is the lid of the orb, and not the eyeball that gives expression. The eyeballs themselves are entirely of any possibility of change, any more than marble would be, but in the manner that the eyeballs either drape or expose the eyeballs is possible some of the most wonderful charms granted to the human face. The brows also assist materially in this performance, and if a woman has only average good eyes, she can get wonderful effects from them merely by understanding just what set of muscular actions can produce at will the varied shades of affection, surprise, coyness, the roguish, the vivacious, coquettish, or appealing. These muscles can be trained just as readily as those of the arm or leg, but many women have had the wisdom of the man to attempt the machine is easy, and no instructor is needed. The man is always to be found in the boudour of any woman from queen to peasant, a mirror. Seated in front of this the woman who aspires to train her features should let her face take on its various expressions. She can make them natural by thinking of some events that have especially pleased, and then indulging in expression that is evoked instinctively at the thought of pleasure. Judged Others by Himself. Corporal James Tanner was talking in Washington about a grafter. "He thinks all men are grafters," said Corporal Tanner, "because he is one himself. So does the coward think all men share his cowardice. There is a story about a young recruit who, in his first engagement, lost heart. The ping-g of the bullets terrified him.

Houston of Washington, D.C. at present a Grand Director of the Sub-Committee of Management of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, has been put forward by his friends for the position of Grand Master of that Order, to be elected by the Biominal Velocity Committee which meets in Richmond, Va., from October 2nd to 6th. Mr. Houston is a man of capacity and integrity, and is unusually well fitted for this position. His election cannot fail to result in satisfaction to the entire membership and great benefaction. Order. He is a lawyer by profession; he is a judge of the court; and his judgment, clearly reflected in his splendid service for the past four years on the Sub-Committee of Management. His work on the Board has attracted the attention of the Fraternity and turned the majority of minds to him as the one who should be chosen to serve the Order during the next administration. The various branches tells of his morality and capacity. He serves as secretary of his lodge, is prominent and useful in the Household, Council and Patriarch, having given much time and service to each of those organizations. His unassimil and valuable labor serves for him the coveted honor of being him a member of an honorary member of the Old Fellow Association—an association which demands 25 years of faithful connection with the Order as a requisite to membership therein, and which has conferred honorary membership on only seven persons in the entire Fraternity. He visits visiting lodges, gives his name and visits the church whenever and wherever solicited. Mr. Houston is an enthusiastic Old Fellow, stimulating and creating interest for the Fraternity wherever he goes. He W. L. Houston is a fluent, impressive and eloquent speaker, possessing the graces of the real orator; winning his audience with ease and holding his attention to the details of his speech, when denoted on fraternal occasions; when denoted on principals and purposes of the Order are presented by him in such an attractive way that a favorable and lasting impression is always made. Last impression was made at the Lodge of Virginia and Maryland their annual sessions, delivering addresses that were received with great applause. He was the orator on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Lodge at Alexandra, Va.—the first lodge of the Lodge, ed Order of Odd Fellows established south of the Potomac river—and his speech at that time evoked an enthusiastic demonstration and received the most complimentary mention in the news. He occupies an unusually prominent place in the proceedings of that meeting. Mr. Houston's knowledge of parliamentary law, legal training and fine-tuning combine to make him an exceptionally able presiding officer; these abilities will strongly endorse him for the position, where he will enjoy friends as place him; because a man with these qualities is needed to preside over the deliberations of a great body like the B.

This matter of traveling expense will be a great saving to the Order, which now has under the suspicious task of erecing a one hundred thousand dollar office building. Mr. Houston enjoys the esteem and confidence, not only of the members of the Order, but men everywhere who have the pleasure of knowing him; he is a man of fine character, pleasing to the convictions and an enviable individual.

GETHEN When Joe Robins was little over 20 he decided to bring home a wife, and with doubts and fears his mother consented, for the girl was a young creature living in "Pleasant" alley, where the domestic arts of needlework and cooking were hold of very small account. The wedding took place one Sunday morning, and many of the inhabitants of the alley went to look on. They considered flowers and rice the chief essentials of the ceremony, and when Joe and his bride emerged from the church a shower of rice overtook them, stinging painfully on necks and ears; and when the couple met until the couple finally started off run, and by sheer speed they distanced their pursuers and took refuge breathlessly in "Pleasant" alley. Joe's mother, Mrs. Robins, thought of her own wedding day 'midst sweeter surroundings than those, for she'd been married down in the country on a lovely morning in May. But she brushed off the rice from her new daughter's fine line, and smoothed down the pretty woolen gown—her own gift, of which the girl was inordinately tall. The two actions were typical of Mrs. Robins, for she brushed aside small annoyances and smoothed down every difficulty she could, making their rough lives more endurable. Her grandchildren were a great joy to Mrs. Robins, and her favorite was a second little Joe, who "took after his father," she said. But, alas! there came one bitter winter when work was very scarce, and strikes had so far only made the wages lower. "Even the weather is agen us," said hollow-cheeked men to each other, whilst the hungry-eyed women kept indoors. Then Mrs. Robins fell ill, and her son and his wife had no work, and the children grew pinched and poor looking, though they fared better than most. "Tis the soup kitchens and free breakfasts at the schools as saves them from sickening like me," said the poor grandmother, who lay fading away. "You'd be far better in the infirmary," quoth the doctor one day. "Go there at once my good woman, and you'll have an even chance yet." He was a kindly man and a wise one, and he'd known the poor woman for "I Want My Grannie!" years, and noticed her patient endurance when the wolf was not far from the door. "Yes, I'll go there now, doctor," she said, meekly, "but not for the chance as I'll have. I'm past wishin' for aught for myself, sir; but 'twill be easier for Joe and his missis and the children. Why, my grandson, Joey will get the bite and soup as I costs 'em." So the ambulance came and took her away, but the children made loud lamentation, and little Joey cried himself to sleep, and wanted grannie in his dreams. When visiting day arrived they all went up to the infirmary to see her, but the small Joey was comforted by the dear old lady's food content. She had a snowy cap on her head with its little white flap filling on her very hair, and on her shoulders there rested a thick warm crimson shawl. Her daughter-in-law touched it gently. "Why, mother, how smart, you do look!" and poor Mrs. Robins smiled back in return. "I thought it was different to this, and at first I was fearful to come. Folks talk so much of the porchouse and counts it somehow a disgrace. But there, we all of us says more than we mean, and I'm comfortable, yes, I am; Joe, I'm warm, and I have plenty to eat; doctors say I may pull through yet, and come back to plague ye as soon as possible." But the "plenty to eat," and the warmth, and the doctor himself, were too late, and Mrs. Robins had a hard SENATOR PLATT FORGOT GOLD When the stepdaughter of Senator Thomas C. Platt was about to be married the noted New York leader decided to give her one of his presents $1,000 in gold. He asked his secretary, Mr. Howe, to get from the treasury the amount named, newly minted and never used. The gold was given to the secretary and ribbon and brought to the senate chamber. Mr. Platt tossed the money from one hand to the other for a few moments and then laid the bag on the floor. Presently he became interested in the senate debate and, forgetting all about it, left the bag there at adjournment. A few moments later the secretary found the bag and put it in the safe in the senator's room. About two o'clock next morning Senator Platt remembered the bag of gold and called up the secretary by telephone, saying, "when you want to go to the senate, please make sure you see if you can find that $1,000 in gold. I dropped "it up there and get all about it." Howe told him he had it in the committee safe. "I am glad of life, and the cruel pressure of winter had proved to be more of a strain than she could bear, but she was quiet and contented, and the nurses did their best to pull her through. One day when she was feeling a little better she told the nurse who was siting near her at work about her life in the slums, and how she disliked it at first; and about little Joey (the father she meant, not the child), and of his innocent, successful appeal to the neighbors to take care of his mother. "And they've done it. You would never believe it, my dear, but the roughest and rudest among 'em took care of my Joey and me. They are very good hearted at bottom and they'd have kept me to die there amongst 'em, willing and cheerful they would. But 'tis the Lord's will as I die in the workhouse, and I'll go off as quiet as a lamm, and thanking you for all your trouble when my time comes. But I ain't to be buried as a pauper, you must know. I couldn't die peaceful if there was that shame to be faced. 'Tis the neighbors, them as lives or starves in the old alley, as has promised to me decien. I'm to have a plain, varnished coffin, with my name put plain and the lid; it's bespoke, nurse, already the b暮k, and the neighbors will follow when my time comes. "Dont feel 'tis, sees 'tis," said the nurse — kindly and motherly creature. 'You must try to live and do us credit you. I know. I won't forget what you've told me. . . I think I should like to see your alley; they must be very kind neighbors down there.' "That they are," rejoined the failing woman; "but they're low, indeed they're very low. You'll not take offense please, will you, if they seem to speak a little bit rough." Although care and skill not save Mrs. Robins, yet they patched her up for awhile, and she taught many lessons of patience as she lay there content in her bed. Suffering was no new experience to one who had lived in "Pleasant" anatomy. In the infirmary her sorrows were, she felt, lightened by care, kindness and skill. "It's fine to have everything done for you," she would say in her wristful voice. "I've been doin' for others just always. I've been lookin' forward to this. It's for me, like as if we was ladies, for each woman she wants for herself. Yet actually some of em grumblies! Well, to be sure! I suppose at heaven's gates there'll be grumbling if Peter's a bit slow with the keys." After a few weeks of peace and quiet Mrs. Roblins fell asleep, and the alley rose nobly to the occasion; they shut up their tenements and went in a great procession to fetch their old favorite away. Seeing that great stream of people many wondered, for it was indeed a curious sight, all so wretched, and so poor and ragged looking, yet quiet and subdued. Joe and his wife and children—little Joey foremost with the in' as ever left the alley. The house was left empty—not a creature strayed behind." (Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.)

ABBY SHAW MAYHEW, Assistant Professor of Physical Training, Wisconsin University. Corsets, waist bands, abdominal repressers, waist stocking supporters, two-piece underclothing or two-piece suits of any kind should not be worn by girls or women. There are three principles to if we wish to dress healthfully and comfort is perhaps all-inclusive, and that is, free one has perfect freedom of movement—that for.

To dress so that one has perfect freedom of movement—that is what we should strive for. To dress so that we can stand and walk easily and correctly, so that we can use all our lungs and so that we shall not be conscious of our clothes—that will mean much in bringing health and vigor to many women who have made themselves slaves of dress. There are four points of the body which we restrict more or less. They are the neck, the waist, the knees and the feet. To free the waist we must discard corsets and bands and wear all our clothes in one piece as far as possible. Healthy, free waist muscles mean far more than we dream—a fine poise, good digestion and a better performance of all the functions of the body. The wearing of tight shoes, I had thought, need not be preached against, but a shoeman made the statement the other day that many young women wear shoes one or two sizes to small for them. The broad toe, straight last and low heel are essential if we would have well-formed feet. The second principle of good dress is: The weight of the clothing should be equally distributed. This is most easily accomplished by wearing the one-piece under-garments and by having the waist and skirt of the gown thoroughly fastened together. The third principle is that there should be an even distribution of thickness. Unless we wear union suits we double the thickness around the waist and abdomen. The heated parts become the relaxed parts, and are therefore more subject to disease. it," said the senator. "It might have me kept a few minutes think- Siberian Roofed Lake A roofted lake exists in Siberia, near Obdorsk. This lake is nine miles wide and 17 miles long. Its roof, a natural one, is made of salt. Geologists say that long ago a great part of the water of the lake of Obdorsk must have suddenly evaporated, leaving huge salt crystals afloat on the surface. These crystals in time caked together. Thus the water was entirely covered over with them as if frozen. The lake in 1878 dropped three feet; it found an underground outlet into the Obi river, but the salt crust was so thick upon it that it retained its own level. Not dropping at all, it formed a roof of salt three feet high over the whole body of water. A roofted hikinshi peninsula, in the Caspian sea, there is another lake that has a roof of salt crystals thick and strong enough to allow men and horses to cross it on foot. --- rest—had a shabby carriage to take them to the distant burial ground. All the others followed as they best could—on their feet when other methods failed—but every kind of truck and cart was required, and the people, most of them, had at least a scrap of crape about them. And so they passed on, quite unconscious of the paths of their poverty. Next day at dusk the infirmary ward was suddenly invaded by the porter, who called in somewhat hasty accents for the nurse; she came at once. "What is it Simmons? Is there anything the matter?" In response the man put his hand behind him and pulled forward a little tearful, muddy, foot-sore urchin. "Nurse, d'you know this boy? He saw him got his granite, and he wants her." And looking closely at the tiny figure, nurse made answer: "Why, it's poor old Mrs. Robins' boy! How did he come all that weary way? He's but a baby to be out alone." But little lonely Joey wailed his answer. "I want's my grannie! They put the big box in the ugly pit-hole, but I want grannie. Where's my grannie? There's lots of grannies here," he went on sobbing, "and 'they got red shawls, too. But where's my grannie?" The doctor came in at the moment and stood within the room; the firefighters had to put out his rain of tears and pretty wisteria face, and by him knelt the nurse, her arm around him, holding his cold hands towards the kindly blaze. The solemn porter looked annoyed and puzzled at this departure from all printed rules. The patients, aye, the patients! The tears were falling down many a deeply furrowed cheek. Then the doctor, stepping forward with that keen bright eye which noted all things, said: "What's all this about, boy? What's your name?" "Please sir, I am Joe, and I've walked up from the alley to look for granite." "How far is that, I wonder? Simmons, what'd you say?" "Why, sir, 'it three miles sure and sartin', said the 'wondering porter;' and "he's a baby to be out alone." Then the doctor, still as brisk and quick as ever: "Nurse, I shall admit this patient for one night. He is heartily pleased." So Joey found a resting place, and many "granites" claimed him lovingly; and every Sunday afternoon henceforward his father brought him up "to call on granite's nurse," and the story of his wanderings was told to each new intimate of that large infirmary. And big Joe's wife—the little Joe's mother—would proudly tell her children of her own grand wedding, when she had a fine new gown and a real bouquet, and half the alley looked on.

Some Pretty Ways for Entertaining the Fortunate Modern Bride—The "Book Shower" One of Them or Games for Children —Game for Children. The bride of today is a very lucky individual, for, besides her wedding presents, she has all sorts of delightful affairs given by her intimate friends. There are "stocking," "handkerchief," "plate and cup and saucer," "linen," "flower," "kitchen" and "novelty" showers. Some or all of these functions are likely to fall to the lot of a girl who announces her engagement, and who gives her friends this opportunity to show their good will. Great care should be taken that only one's nearest and dearest friends are asked to parties of this kind; strangers or more calling acquaintances should not be asked to contribute; should be embarrassing both to the giver and the recipient; this is one of the instances where a hostess must be given to a guest; a bride elect would like to be present. Re remember that the "gift without the giver is gare." One of the very latest fads is a "turnover collar shower." Each guest is asked to bring material for a turnover and her thimble, and at the conclusion of an afternoon the fair (we take it for granted that adjective applies, as it seems to be the prerogative of a bride to be termed thusly) bride-to-be will have a number of these useful accessories to her trousean. The "book shower" must be arranged by a person who can find out what volumes the recipient does not possess, so there will not be dupliates. The name of the donor with an inscription will greatly enhance the value of the gift, and is safe to say that this collection will be more than prized when placed upon the bookshelves of the new home. The hand-kerchief and linen showers are both pretty. Each article can be thrown at the bride until she is fairly buried under the white offering. The "china" shower is always a favorite, and a unique way was devised for the stocking shower by having a large "shoe" candy box in the center of the luncheon table with a ribbon going to each place; when the ribbons were pulled all drew out favors except the honored guest, who drew out a number of white packages, all rolled tight in white tissue paper—a pair of silk hose from each guest present. A flower shower is the very prettiest of all, and should be given the day before the wedding. Each guest brings a bunch of flowers, and the bride is literally showered with blossoms from a huge floral ball suspended from a large ball made of wire, cover with a large fill closely with flowers; carnations make a perfect sphere. The ball is made in halves and filled with rose petals. When farewells are being the hostess pulls a ribbon which separates the two halves, releasing the petals, which fall upon the young woman who is about to leave the new and unknown way. Thisattering rose leaves on the pathway of a bride is a very old custom. A Game for Children. Form a circle and cast lots or take a vote as to who shall be the "huntman." When chosen, the hunter proceeds to give a name to each person—one becomes his coat, another his hunter, one becomes his man, the hunter then walks around on the side of the circle, and calls for each article in turn. As they are called each person arises and takes hold of the person in front of him, the first person having attached himself to the hunter's coat tails. When all are going a rather rapid pace, the hunter denotes the man, all including the hunter, rush for a seat and the one left must become the hunter. MADAME MERRI.

Dr. Loye tells the following strange story, taken from the archives of an Austrian police officer, and relating to an execution said to have taken place in Vienna in 1680: A well-known bandit named Schavenburg was caught, together with four of his associates, and they were all condemned to death. They were already on their death route to submit to their fate, when Schavenburg addressed the judge, asking that his four companions might be ranged in single file in front of him at a distance of eight feet from each other. "If," he said, "after I am beheaded I get up and walk to the first of my comrades, will you pardon him?" The judge thought he was pretty safe in complying with the request, "But if I walk up to the second, the third, and the fourth, will you pardon those also?" The judge replied that he would obtain their pardon from the emperor. The bandit was satisfied, bent his PILLOW FOR THE SOFA. Design That Is New, Pretty, and Easily Worked. This design for a sofa pillow is a patchwork square enlarged. It is supposed to be a "daisy" square, but is made of red silk, the circle at the base of the petals and the small Effective Sofa Pillow Cover. inner circle in the center of yellow silk, the outer circle (center), stems and diamonds (leaves) of green silk, the whole appliqued on black satin. It is finished with a large yellow and black cord. BOTH PRETTY AND EFFECTIVE. Description of Costume Worn at French Bathing Resort. Yesterday afternoon, on the planches, I saw a most effective white frock, accompanied by a big Tuscan hat and a very long veil of dark emerald-green gauze, writes a correspondent from Trouville, France. The whole turn-out was chic as possible and entirely uncommon; the woman who wore this pretty costume THE WORLD'S FINEST DRESS White Frock and Tuscan Hat. was very dark, with a complexion of ivory and with vivid red lips. The bright green veil suited her to a charm. In Paris it certainly would have looked bizarre, but near the sea it was quite suitable. Pale blue veils are generally becoming, but pure white is best of all; it is always flattering to the skin and with burnt straw or Tuscan it is adorable. "Nan" Promotes Beauty. Some people have the gift of sleep and others haven't. The secret of more than one notable instance of beautiful mothers and grandmothers is acknowledged to be due directly to the power of sleep, to take a quiet little nap at any time of the day, when a busy afternoon or long evening is needed. It people seem open to one of the clearest attainments open to the eternal feminine, this capacity of capturing 40 winks whenever she pleases. Health Precautions in Paris By a police order now in operation, in Paris laundries must disinfect all garments as soon as they are received. Clothes must be conveyed to the laundries in hermetically sealed bags and, on their arrival, be scaled in an antiseptic solution. The work people are to wear special clothes, which also are to be disinfected. head, received the mortal blow, and his head rolled down; but to the great surprise of the judge and the spectators, the body got up, walked alone, passed the first, second, third and fourth of the condemned men, and fell down. The occurrence was told to the emperor, who, according to promise, pardoned the four criminals. Jackets and Skirts. The jackets, so diverse in shape and style, often are elaborately braided on the back and front, while on the skirt there is only embroidery just around the hem. Again, the skirt will have the most of the embroidery and on the jacket there will be only the sleeves and the collar with the embroidery. Altogether, it is decidedly puzzling to tell just which style is the most to be desired, and the rule is that what is the most becoming and has the smartest effect should be chosen rather than to let the fine work cast the deciding mark. It is remembered that too coarse, material brodery are not desirable purchases unless economy does not enter late the calculations at all. Seasonable Entertainments and Suggestions for Social Functions By EDITH A. BROWN Society Editor of the Chicago Record-Herald. Farewell Dancing Party for the College Boys and Girls—"Hop Vipers" for Decoration—A "Hop Pole" Dance—Fall the Time for House-Warmings—Key Souvenirs Signify Hospitality—"An Ideal House" Content. September is a bit early for a dance, and yet for the younger sets the "time to dance" is any time the opportunity affords, no matter what theature records. In June we arranged a reunion party for the college boys and girls. In September a farewell party for those same boys and girls would give quite a pleasure, for everyone is getting in readiness for the winter's separation. With them the dance is the thing, so why not arrange a "hop" party? If ever it has been your good fortune to be in the northwest states just at the hop season, it will be easy for you to realize how beautiful this "hop" party may be made. The northwest is the hop country. In some sections of Washington during August and September, as far as the eye can reach, it rests upon great draperies of the hop vines—field after field of latticework bearing the green leaves and the fruit of the vine like a mammal's nursery. For the northwestern hostess, therefore, this "hop" party will be particularly easy—if she persuade the hop merchant to part with her to her—but even the hostesses of the country where hops are not as plentiful as in the northwest may find some good country woman who still clings to hop-raising for the making of her own bread yeast. The invitations to the hop party may be the regular dancing invitations or they may assume the more informal and mystical form of the following: All your good friends will be there Come to feast your eyes on beauty. To say 'good-by' to friends and care." Underneath write the date and care. of the party. For the decorations, use hops only. The rooms may be dragged throughout the house in this vine, for nothing is more beautiful as a decoration. The walls may be draped, the cellings can 掇, the doorways curtained with the hop vines and the house may be con- tained and the proverbial bower. The hostess and the students gowns of decorate green; in fact, every detail should be carried out in this color as nearly as possible. If the house in which the party is given possesses a ballroom, one end of the room should be set aside for the after-supper fancy dance, which will take the place of the usual coil- lion. For this erect an old-fashioned hop pole and arrange long strands of the vine as it would cling to the pole, naturally. When the time comes for to take the place of the tribal May-pole, and a sort of May-pole舞 may be danced. Otherwise let the dance programme be the regular "hop." If the supper is informal, and is to be served in buffet fashion about the dining-table, use the hop pole as a central decoration for the table, allowing the vines to wander out over the board and fall from the sides in natural draperies. If the affair is to be given a formal and very elaborate touch, seat the guests at small tables, each bearing its own decoration of the central hop pole, the four strands wandering to the covers and bearing the place cards on the end. The menu, carried out in green, should be intrusted to the caterer, and is guided by the formality of the affair. During the dance serve lemonade or the ordinary punch. The young women assistants may alternate in preside- ing the dance, which should be sunk in a nest of the hops in the booth where the punch is served should be hung with the hop vines and gowned in dainty green, so attractive a picture will she make that it will not be difficult to persuade the young woman to forego a few dances for the privilege of being mistress of this green bower. For the close of the evening have the musicians play familiar airs, closing with Auld Lang Syne, and asking the young people to pledge each others' health with the lemonade or punch, as they sing. A college stein song would please the young guests for this part of the programme, also. Woe Evanim House Party." With the close of September come the housewarmings. The young folk who have been married during the summer months are throwing open new homes, and the folk who have a number of wedded years to their credit are often doing the same or are just getting settled after another fall fitting. Ordinarily a housewarming may be nothing more than the giving of the new home over to the possession of The clergyman could word of Spanish and he to preach his first sermon. He could not go because there was no sheet on the bed was; and he was a large man nothing for him to do on the bed and hope the members of his congregation come to the house.

After ex been made the men pre and went to the statistic parson's trunk and he dress. HEAVIEST ENGINE IN THE WORLD.

The "Decapod" just completed it in England and is intended for hauling heavy freight rails over mountain gradients in the Great Western railway. When it reaches 79 tons, 10 cars friends for an evening, closing with a dance, but it can be made quite original. The house may be decorated or not, as the hostess chooses. The decoration should be simple—autumn leaves or dahillas would be good for this season of the year. As the guests enter they should be given small keys tied with a bit of ribbon or a keycard to the old meaning of giving the key of the city to an honored guest—a means of expressing that during the visit the city behold him. These keys should be of many sizes and kinds, duplicates to be given the men and women—the way for finding partners for the dining room later in the evening. After the new home has been seen, paper and pencil should be furnished each guest. The men are requested to draw plans for their ideal house and the women are asked to write out a description of the furnishings for an ideal home. Of course in this the room in the house must be designated. The papers are numbered and collected, and judges who have been appointed will pass upon the merits of every paper. For the man who wins the prize for the best plans for a home, a doll's house may be purchased; the woman who is given first place in the furnishing contest may be given a set of doll furniture. She is in the regular manner, Simply throw open the dining-room where the table will be heaped with small cakes, apples, pop corn, bonbons, and sandwiches, with coffee served at the side, if desired, which better illustrates true hospitality. The guests are supposed to wander in at will and choose what they wish to eat. The keys may serve as souvenirs of the evening or toy coffee pots, coffee mills, cake sweepers, clothes pins, and one product of homely articles of household ware may be given. The affair may be called "one evening house party." Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles. HOOK AND LINE THIEVING. Mexico Turns Out Some Artists in the Line of Petty Larceny. In Mexico the sneak thief has his business down to a science. The favored manner of stealing is from the houses. Most of the buildings are but one story high, and the doors are kept closed and locked. The windows are as large as the doors and extend to the floor. To keep the thieves out of the house they are protected with heavy iron bars, but the Mexican sneak thief has found a way to overcome this difficulty. Because of the lowness of the window he can look into the room and "spot" the article he wishes. Then he waits until the occupant of the room is in some other part of the house. A bamboo pole about as long as a fishing rod is produced, to which is attached a piece of string with a fish hook on the end. The thief by practice can cast the hook so that it will catch on almost any article in the room, no matter how far it may be from the window. Slowly it is drawn forward and pulled through the bars. In this manner articles are taken off the bureau or tables, rugs snatched from the floor and bedclothes from the bed. Clothing left on chairs or hanging on the wall is easily removed. The thieves do not even wait until the night, but the day, if all cases. There have been cases where men and women who were undressing in their rooms have lost clothing while their backs were turned to the window. A short time ago the wife of a well-known mining engineer was dressing to go to a dance. She had removed part of her clothes from the wardrobe and turned her back. Hearing a noise she turned just in time to see her dress disappearing out of the window, but before she could explain what had happened the thief had escaped. An Episcopal minister who went to take charge of a congregation had a sad experience. The congregation was a large one for Mexico, and he expected to live in a modern rectory. However, there were no American houses for rent in the town. He was shown to a typical Mexican house, and as he was tired went to bed as soon as the committee had retired. He was instructed not to place anything movable near the window. He heeded the advice and, drawing a chair near the bed, placed his clothes in a sitting room where he awoke he was shocked. When that his clothes and shoes were missing. He looked for his grip and saw it near the window. It had been opened and every stitch it contained taken out. The satchel would have been taken, too, if the thief could have pulled it through the iron bars. The clergyman could not speak a word of Spanish and he was expected to preach his first sermon that morning. He could not go out in a barrel because there was no barrel. The sheet on the bed was a small affair and he was a large man. There was nothing for him to do but to sit down on the bed and hope that some of the members of his congregation would come to the house. In about half an hour after the time set for the service the committee which had escorted him to the room in the evening arrived. The doctor was found huddled up on the bed with the little sheet wrapped around him. After explanations been made the men procured a wagon and went to the station and got the parson's trunk and he was able to dress.

The Pharmacuteal College occupies a unique position in supplying the demands for first-class pharmacists. The advantages offered students are unequalled. Students are thoroughly drilled in chemistry, pharmacotechnical and laboratory skills are given practical experience in compounding and dispensing drugs and chemicals in the Dispensary of Freedman's Hospital. The development of the South has created a demand for Afro-American pharmacists much greater than the supply. The fact that white druggists do not have the advantage of Afro-American people has underterprising Afro-Americans to open drug stores of their own. The field is not overcrowded and there are dozens of cities begging for druggists whose demands cannot be supplied. In a number of which cities, companies are formed, waiting for a good pharmacist to come and open a drug store. They are also most likely to himself. To young men desiring a professional career, pharmacy offers flat tering inducements. INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH. 3825 Dearborn Street. Sunday—Preaching 11 a. m.; 7:45 p. m.; Sunday school 1 p. m.; 4 p. m.

Wathier First Ward Ward 2 publican Comm. John F. Found Comm. John F. Charles A. Wathier, for twenty years a prominent figure in Republican politics of the First Ward, died while sitting in a chair at his home, 365 Fifth avenue. apparently from heart disease, shortly before 6 o'clock Sunday evening. Wathier was found dead by one of his sons, Albert Wathier, when the latter returned home for supper. Wathier returned Sunday morning from a ten days' outing at Mt. Clemens, where he had gone hoping to benefit his health. His hopes, apparently were fulfilled, and he appeared to be well. While his wife was preparing the evening meal the poll- PETER H. HARRIS Charles A. Wathier. tician sat in the parlor reading the Sunday newspapers. When he was found by his son a newspaper was across his lap and he seemed to be asleep. The son called Wattler, realizing something wrong. The family was informed, and Dr. George Woodchick, 353 Fifth avenue, was summoned. The physician, upon making an examination, announced that the man was dead. Mr. Wattler's latest political office was in the state board of equalization, which place he held when his death occurred. His introduction to politics in official capacity was as deputy collector of internal revenue under Collector Stone. In 1883 he retired from the place, having served also under Collectors Maitland and under Sheriffs Gilbert and Pease. During all of the past twenty years he was identified with First ward politics in one form and another, having been a member of a county central committee, senatorial committee, and state central committee. He was a member of the Hamilton club and political and social organizations. ST.

Distrust all who would have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. —President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 15, 1906. ENFRANCHISEMENT WAS RIGHT From an editorial in the Washington Post, we extract the following: "The entrenchement of the freedmen was an unmitigated curse to both races, the malign influence of which has not yet ended. And that entrenchement is not a reality; it is only on paper. It is now clearly and almost universally seen to have been a gigantic blunder, and the political perry responsible for it abandoned it and still stays in the text of the Constitution to stay there, for we do not amend that instrument; but it is absolutely dead." The Post does not inform the world by what means it made so many notable discoveries, but probably does not feel called upon to render a reason. But it may be remarked that the enfranchisement was the work of men who are not generally regarded as idlets or dreamers, but as among the wisest and greatest whom the nation has produced. The result of the measures they adopted was to restore the political union, with the states enjoying their normal relations to the general government. It remains to be shown that a better, or more effective plan could have been adopted, under circumstances as then existent. The intent of the plan was to prevent the South from being solid; and it was successful. That plan must be revived, if the solidity of the South is ever destroyed. But it is fated that, the J. 6. Ex-United States Consult at Vladivostok, Who Will be Given a Good Berth in the Consular Service. KLEA Speaker of the House Indorsed for President by Illinois State Republi can Convention: Mindful of the great responsibilities of the office of President of the United States, hoping for a continuation of the successful policies and wise administration of the Republican party, with full confidence in the experience, ability, mental equipment and lofty patriotism of the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, Illinois for the discharge of these duties and great responsibilities Illinois must favor favors and recommends to her sister states and the Republican national convention to be held in 1908, the nomination of the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois to the high office of President of the United States. solid south, like the deacon's one horse shay should go to naught, "All at once and nothing first," Just as bubbles do when they burst, because it is a product of ignorance or utterly opposed to the advancing civilization of the age. The stars in their courses are fighting against it. LYNCHING BY LAW The news heralded throughout the country that an Afro-American in Kentucky, who was accused of criminal assault was tried, convicted, sentenced and executed within the space of 55 minutes does not excite the admiration of a correspondent of the Chicago Chronicle. He says: "The quality of the justice in this case is indicated by the fact that every preparation for the hanging was made before Mathis reached Mayfield as well as by the fact that it took only fifty-five minutes to try and execute the accused. Mathis probably deserved hanging, but the haste was uncalled for and was the reverse of conducive to the doing of justice. It was a ghastly travesty upon judicial proceedings and very conclusive proof that there was a deliberate purpose to hang the man anyway. TO THE APPEAL the occurrence suggests the idea that our southern brethren have bethought themselves of a new plan—one that will not excite so much hostile criticism as a conventional "lynching bee." That plan is to have some kind of farcical trial which will have some slight resemblance to the gags of a civilized people; and thereby, gags of gainssayers. They forget that it will also prove the fact that their courts are as corrupt and bloodthirsty as their mobs and deserve as little respect. The whole gang, mobs, courts and officers are tarred by the same stick and are relapsing into barbarism. A curious phase of the color question has developed in Cincinnati. It seems to be a well-established fact, that in 1874, Lafcadio Hearn, the brilliant author, married Alethea Foley, an Afro-American woman in Martinique, or Cincinnati, it is little difficult to say which. With this woman he lived for three years, when she left him, on account of his eccentricities. Subsequently, Hearn indulged his taste for a dark-skinned companion by marrying a Japanese woman, and now both of the widows are claimants of his estate. But the claim of the Afro-American woman is resisted upon the ground that, at the time of her marriage to Hearn, the laws of the state prohibited such inter-racial marriages. But the fact of the marriage is established by the testimony of competent witnesses. The case is a peculiar one, and we shall await the outcome with interest. THE BRYAN CRAZE The Southern brother is repeating his craze over Bryan, as shown by utterances of Representative Candler, of Mississippi, Mr. Candler is of the opinion the Republicans will be forced to again nominate President Roosevelt to overcome the effect of the Bryan sentiment, which, he declares, is sweeping across the country and in ultimately will put Mr. Bryan in the White House. So far as the political complexion of the next House of Rep resentatives is concerned, Mr. Candler says it has gone beyond the stage of a possibility, and there is now a great probability that the Democrats will control the Lower House of the Sixteenth Congress. Mr. Candler's performance is by no means new—Hope springs eternal in the Southern breast—and is by no means based upon common sense. It is inspired simply by the wishes of the person, and does not imply any reasonable calculation of probabilities. In his last race, Mr. Bryan displayed himself as a visionary crank, and has done nothing since to change the opinion of the nation. But our southern brother has always relied to a great extent upon a furious beating of the tom-tom as the most potent of political instrumentalities. But that kind of thing does not count at the polls. THE BLESSINGS OF CIVILIZATION The Kaffirs seem not to appreciate the blessings of civilization and Christianity, as administered by their British brethren, and are said to be planning to make an insurrection. The indications have reached such a stage that it is great alarm among the white people of Johannesburg, who are arming to defend themselves. The trouble is attributed to the Ethiopian church" which is charged with being a political organization, which is sending emissaries throughout the country preaching "the sinister doctrine" of Africa for the Africans. An impartial reasoner would, probably, discover in the above contention a basis of equity, not a sinister doctrine; but in the ethics of civilized nations might make right, and the Negro has no rights which the white man is bound to respect. Nor, in fact, is this convenient principle applied only to dark-skinned races, as shown by the division of Poland, and the absorption of Alsace and Lorraine. But the dark-skinned races have been the most unfortunate races; for every white race in Europe has been extending its sphere of influence an euphemism for a system of plundering only rivaled by the atrocities of Genghis Khan. The Goths and Vandals never rivaled the doings of the so-called Christian nations. For reasons easily understood, the Southern journals are criticising the Northern folks for their discriminations against the Afro-American, and are thus doing a good work. As an instance, the Charleston News and Courier thus comments upon a raid made by Filadelphian policemen upon an Afro-American gambling-house: How many white gambling houses in the Quaker City have not been raided we have no means of knowing, but there are hundreds of them there. The police know where they are, and yet they are never, or hardly ever, disturbed. We know how it is. The "coon" who shoots craps is punished as an enemy of society; the white gambler who plays for big stakes is not disturbed because he is a respectable citizen." Yes, and the South Carolina editor might have added that his statement is just as true of Charleston as of Philadelphia. Our state militia seems to be fast becoming of the Russian type, so far as being safe to rely on in suppressing a mob. 8 THE LADY OF THE TOWN MME.

Doctors Work in Shifts Physicians in Germany propose to divide the day and night between them. They object to being subject to the call of their patients at any hour of the twenty-four. The patient is not to be left in the lurch, however. His opportunity to spend his money on medical attendance is not to be curtailed. The German doctors propose, as a matter of simple justice to themselves, a day of twelve hours. This means night and day shifts, and as doctors need rest the same as all other human beings, and can do their best work only when they have it, the change proposed seems to be as clearly in the lay interest as in that of the profession.

FAIRCHILD Republican Candidate for Nomination for County Commissioner. H. S. Fairchild. Ask a hundred voters what four of the 28 Republican candidates for County Commissioner will be nominated and nearly every one will say at once H. S. Fairchild will be one of them but few of them have decided opinions as to the other three. Put down your guesses and see how near you come to M. W. FITZGERALD. Republican Candidate for Renomination as Register of Deeds Ramssey Mr. Fitzgerald is no stranger to the voters and taxpayers of Ramssey County. He is a candidate at the earnest level of attorneys, real estate nominators and bankers with blim. He is efficient, straightforward, honorable, upright and his intelligent management of the office makes it one of the best conducted in the State. He is running Mr. Fitzgerald's incumbency that the Torrors system of transferring real property was authorized by the legislature in the counties of Ramssey, Hennepin and St. Louis. Stace the passage of that law which constitutes the register of deeds of Ramssey county, the register of deeds of Fitzgerald, devoted great deal of time and effort in the adaptation of the system to this county. He has labored incessantly upon the system, preparing forms, arranging details, and attending to the thousand and one things necessary to facilitate and perfect the operation of the new law. This in itself has involved much effort. Fitzgerald feels that his efforts have been amply rewarded by the results. Aside from all considerations of politics, M. W. Fitzgerald deserves the support of the electorate. He has proved his worth by his daily work, and there is no excuse that can be justly advanced in favor of a change. He is a strong advocate of public duty, for small compensation, can now be better rewarded than in the re-election of M. W. Fitzgerald. As the Afro-Americans in large numbers are acquiring property it behooves them to take an interest in the matter of the titles to the same. Then too Mr. Fitzgerald has shown something of his own by passing classes by giving employment at times to several Afro-Americans in his office. [Name not visible in the image] HON, F. C. STEVENS.

Public funds will do the most good. Mr. Lohmann is conservative, active and very prompt in his business methods, and what is more, no one will ever say that he took a dishonest penny anywhere. His excellent recount of the events is without favorably known to need mention. Such men should be elected and the public interest will be in safe hands and everybody get a square deal.

McCreeken, which is very tangible, ocular evidence that his heart is in the same place. Mr. Stevens is a candidate for nomination, he should be nominated and if nominated he will surely be elected; and, all who help him may feel sure they are helping to keep Mr. Stevens in his position. Tuesday to vote for him on next Tuesday. Republican Candidate for Legislature 37th District. Thomas F. Conroy who seeks the Republican nomination for the Legislature from the 37th District, composed of the 16th and 11th wards, the country and the 7th, 8th, 10th, 13th, 14th and 16thincts of the eighth ward, needs no introduction to the people of his district.

Captain Henry A. Castle, a resident of Saint Paul for forty years and always prominently and actively at work for the city and for his party, is now a candidate for Clerk of the District Court on the Republican ticket. Captain Castle has some points that specially appeal to the colored Republican voters. He fought during the war in the Civil War and was severely injured in the war, and speaks in Minnesota in 1867 favoring the State Constitutional Amendment granting manhood suffrage. He has in all public and private capacities shown a spirit of fairness toward the people and a keen interest in its advancement. From 1897 to 1903 he was Auditor for the Post Office Department at Washington. Among the 600 employees under him were 100 colored men from Chief of Division downward from Sangers and laborers. It is the universal testimony that no bureau officer in Washington ever treated this element with more justice and consideration. When Captain Castle resigned many of his subordinates sent him voluntary expressions of their regret. Among these letters was one from Dr. Geo H. Richardson, for nearly 30 years Clerk in the office, now in the highest grade. Dr. Richardson was, also, under Presid. McKinley, one of the Trustees of Public Schools of the District of Columbia. From this letter we quote: "As for me, I feel that I have lost a very dear friend and I am sure the colored clerks in the office and out of it here in power, will miss my last kind readiness. You will know that on last Tuesday evening, a resolution was passed by the Bethel Historical and Literary Society, before which body you deliver two splendid lectures, expressing respect for the people and a friend of the colored people, and your self and the hope that your future, as THOMAS F. CONROY. Thomas F. Conroy. reer might be as noble, self-sacrificing and helpful as it has been while here in Washington. By this time I suppose you have received a copy of the same. This, in some measure indicates about how you are regarded by the colored people in the city. "When you tell the many kindnesses you have shown, you fought for our advancement, against enemies; how you have gone into our the cabals and machinations of our several literary societies and there poured forth your eloquence and timey advice; how you went to our public schools and did all in your power to stimulate ambition and inspire hope in the minds of our youth. I can but feel the kindred people of this community have loved us and persisted champion and true friend. "I shall ever remember the day Henry A. Castle. when, with Col. Holland and your whole staff, you went over to the M. St. High School and made that memorable speech. The professors and the were delighted, the vistors enaptured and could see in the faces of those seven hundred colored boys and girls, the glow of new hopes and brighter anticipations. "I was never prouder of being a School Trustee, than on that occasion when could point to my official Chief, as the one who had done all these good things. "I am surely sorry that you have been unable to help me with portunity to thank you for what you have done for me and my race and with health," she said. "I am satisfied with health." RUFUS A. HOYT. Republican Candidate for Clerk of the District Court. Rufus A. Hoyt. Mr. Hoyt's work for his state and city is known to all.

The voters of the Seventh Ward and of the Third and Fourth precincts of the Eighth Ward will again have the opportunity to return to the legislature, and the House will preside Tighe, who served his constituents so satisfactorily four years ago, in the same capacity. Mr. Tighe as every one knows, is prominently fitted for teh job of a House member, and the member of the House will hold him in good stead now. Mr. Tighe is a very genial, fair-minded gentleman who believes in the brotherhood of man and mankind, in the idea of "all men up." Remember to put an X opposite his name Tuesday. C. E. KELLER.

Not a Good Person to Associate With Too Exclusively. Every self-respecting person has a fairly good opinion of himself. That is as it should be. Yet we should not lose sight of the facts that a man learns but little from himself, and that there are a great many other self-respecting people—people, perchance, whose conditions in life are very different from our own—whose companionship and council are well worth seeking. "I" is the person in whom we are naturally most interested, but it isn't a good idea to associate too exclusively with "I." a hermit is not a man of parts. So do what lies in your power, in your own interests, to get away from yourself at times, and to change your scene, a different environment, and new influences. All these have a developing tendency; they lift you up of your well-beaten rut, and give you new thoughts and inspirations. They are likely to prove the impulse that will carry you on to success. A change of scene sometimes changes our ambitions and quickens our energies, and that often turns the tide of our affairs into better channels. The world has much in store for you, if you do your part; if you are willing to go in search of the "goods the gods provide." You remember the story of the old darky who found a great difference in results when he prayed the Lord to send him a turkey and when he sent the Lord to send him after a turkey. The best things of this world come to us as the reward of effort on our part. LIGHTNING'S STRANGE FREAK. Paints Picture of Bird and Snake on a Woman's Arm. Mrs. Thomas Lynch was picking lettuce in her garden at 416 Fulton street, Union Hill, N. J., when the remarkable storm descended on Sunday afternoon. She went to her gate with a glass dish in her hand. Just then lightning struck so close by that her hand, touching the gate, felt the shock. She found that her fingers clasped the dish so tightly that she could not put it down. After some hours a feeling of numbness left her arm, her hand lost its cramp, and she could lose her hold on the dish. Next morning the arm became black and swollen. On it, between the shoulder and elbow, pale figures began to appear. Finally they showed plainly printed on the skin a picture of a bird resembling a pheasant, a picture of a snake, and characters like the Chinese inscriptions on boxes of tea. JUSTUS C.

A Third Term—Why Not? the People say. Fault of Office Seekers a Merit to the People. Dispatch Refers to Krahmer as Able Seaman. THIRD TERMS AND ABLE SEAMEN. When Oliver Twist held up his little bowl and asked for more, the presiding officer, who dispensed the gruel, promptly knocked him down with the lade. In the old days of local nominating conventions, the third term aspirant met with similar treatment, the patiards "knocking" him with great naimity. Whoever the tertium quid he was badly chewed up. Somehow that cardinal principle of the convention ethics does not seem to have commended itself to the people since they have been making the nominations themselves. In vain the jealous politician, whose opponent is running for a third term, quotes the unwritten rule that a person becomes obliterated in vain he invokes the vengeance of a delity defunct. Perhaps the difference is to be found in the respective mental attitudes of the politician awaiting a turn and the voter choosing his candidate; of politicians prorating patronage pie and citizens selecting civil servants. The average citizen who is not seeking office himself does not understand the dedication he has to two or more terms on his he is otherwise suitable; in fact, experience in the office is an element of strength to the candidate. Even in convention days the office of city comproller seems to have been an excepted case for the anti-third termers. When the people were convinced that they had an absolutely unreliable demand and pressure for keeping him there was too strong for the politicians. For forty-three years the people have elected just three men to that office; and the tenure of one of those was ended by his death; of one other still continues. For that exception is that the office of city comproller, like that of county auditor, is not a fee office, and in both those offices the official, if a good man, really earns all the pay he gets. In each of those offices, especially that of county auditor, the duties are so multifarious, the machinery so intricate, that leaving the question of the office is undesirable for good service to the public to be making changes often. The ship-of-state is an old smile, but very suggestive in this connection. A sailor makes his first long voyage rated as a "green hand." Next time, if he has labored and learned as he has learned, he will be rated as a "seaman." Perhaps he never gets beyond that rating, but if he is earnest to learn all a sailor's duties he may after or three years' service qualify as an able "seaman." Now, it is very essential that such a ship of state as a sailor be able to charge an of the "able seaman." If our policy is to be to develop a man into an "able seaman" and then three hibs overboard, it does not appear that we are furnishing a very strong incentive professional movement or that faithful service is required to the ship on her beam-end, as she has EDWARD G. KRAHMER. been, or the victim of pirates, as sha has been, such would be the natural fruit of that policy. Edward G. Krahmer is the "ablo seaman" now in charge of the county auditor's office. It seems wise to re- engage him for the new voyage. ROMAN ROSES FED MEAT. This Accounts for the Fact They Are So Hardy and Prolific. "I have yet to see a rose equal to those grown in Rome," said the amateur horticulturist. "They bloom in the greatest abundance all through the winter and they are as large and rich and velvety as American Beauties, living out of doors, climbing like or bony suckle over the crumbling marble walls of ruined temples, gleamming in limbs and masses upon ancient columns, giving to the trim mest and sediment of medieval palazos an air of gayety and youth. "One day on the Vlaikia, as I passed the garden that had once been the garden of Lucullus, I saw an old man tending the superb roots that grow there. He was pouring on their roots a dark, rich looking field, and we are the Roman roses so beautiful and abundant!" I said to the old man. "Because they eat meat, he and swerved. "Eat meat? Nonsense," said I. "Well, they drink meat—meat extract, which is the same thing," said the man. "The Roman gardeners have for centuries catered our roses three a week with a rich decoction of fresh beef—a rich grade of beef tea. They are meat eaters. That's what roses of Rome are as hard and profile as weeds and at the same time as richly, delicately beautiful and as sweetly perfumed as flowers grown under glass." Not a New Idea "What is your idea of true love?" asked the romantic maid. "I answered the practical young man, "is it saying nothing and trading kisses." DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

Republican Candidate for Nomination for County Treasurer, Hennepin. THE DUTY OF THE CITIZEN. Address by W. D. Washburn, Jr. at Zion Church, September 9th, 1906. One should always remember that the future of the Republican government depends upon the performance of duty by every citizen. When we have done our duty to the family, we should see that we maintain the state in good order so that our children may enjoy the benefits of a government just as pure and just as good as that bequeathed to us by our fathers. The life of Theodore Roosevelt is one of the best examples of public duty properly performed that we have seen in our own circumstances, times and under all circumstances, he has been led by his duty to the state. He has maintained the law without fear or favor regardless of color, race or individual. He should receive 'our support in his further attempts to maintain the law and to preserve the traditions of free government. The great Civil War abounds in the striking examples of public duty properly performed that the Nation might live and we who now survive might enjoy the rights of government of and for by the people. During this great struggle your own race has shown bright examples of the love of country and of civic duty. Over 200,000 of your own citizens Over 200,000 of your own citizens followed the National colors to the field of battle and few of these devoted freedmen ever returned to their native home. They fell in open battle and were decimated by slaughter and disease. At the assault upon Fort Wagner, thousands of colored men were slaughtered in cold blood in defense of their adopted flag. They were thrown helter skeletter into one great grave, and above them all, was thrown the body of their white leader, Col. Shaw. "Bury Shaw with his Niggers," was a curt order of the commander. Today one may see in the City of Boston, one of the great master pieces of the world by Saint Gaudens. This represents the white man, Capt. Shaw, advancing in battle at the head of his colored troops. Upon the graven stone one may almost see the movements of these men as they advanced to battle. This is a great monument to the idea of civil duty. While this stone remains intact, men will see it and will say that at all times the colored man has done his duty to the state that gave him freedom. A greater monument in the eyes of all time is our own free government which white and black men joined to save that we their children, may enjoy equal and exact rights in a land where there is no distinction of race or color. In the Southland we see today hundreds of thousands of intelligent colored men who own their own lands and whose labor are at the base of the prosperity of the southern states. These are the people who were supposed to be fit for nothing but the lash and labor beneath the oversight of others. Slowly and in silence, they have raised themselves to high position in economic and industrial life. Their present condition is a great tribute to the idea of civic duty. We today enjoy free government, won through the tears and blood of our fathers both black and white, who fought the great fight that the Republic might live on. Is it not a small thing to ask that, we their children, should maintain this government free and pure by proper citizenship and by the proper use of our electoral rights? These gave life and fortune that we might live. We have to but maintain these rights by the simple, peaceful performance of our duties toward the state. This is a small thing to ask and we should see to it that we pay this small tribute to the great dead—that we vote conscientiously and right, so in the failiness of time after we pass hence, our children shall not say—"Our parents were lacking in their plain duties and did not maintain the great free structure which their parents left to them cemented by the bicod and countless tears of those who fell in the great struggle for human liberty." Attention to good government is not alone a duty that we owe our own prosperity. It is a sacred duty that we owe the dead. S. T. JOHNSON. Republican Candidate for Nomination for City Treasurer. Mr. S. T. Johnson was formerly Public Examiner of Minnesota. While Public Examiner he stopped railroad tax dodging. Also the same as to Telephone, Express and Pullman Car Companies, and made them pay up their back taxes.

ONLY A TRACE OF JENKINS Chemist inquires Anxiously for a Friend of Long Ago. A chemist who for many years was the manager of a concern in Massachusetts manufacturing various high-grade explosives recently revisited the place of his former employment. During a talk with his old friends of the institution, he made inquiry with reference to a certain colleague of the name of Jenkins. "By the way," said the chemist, "what has become Jenkins? Fine fellow." "Fine chap, indeed!" agreed the foreman, "and very skillful in the use of chemicals. But a little absent-minded—Jenkins. So that discoloration on the wall over there?" "Why, yes; but what has that to do with Jenkins?" "That is Jenkins." The opportunity is always ripe for the man who is ready. THE TRIANGLE AND INNER CIRCLE CLUB TUESDAY EVENING, SEPT. 25th.

Mr. Hall is a member of the firm of Hall & Kochner, lawyers, N. Y. Life Building. He will do stand upon the following platform. Our Country's Need. PETER H. BURTON The American people want a continuance of William McKinley's Republican policy, as vigorously applied by the administration of Theodore Roosevelt. That will insure the perpetuation of our present prosperity. Under this policy, and through prompt constructive legislation, will come the many needed reforms, among them, effective control of Railroads, and later, gradual Government Ownership.

SAWYER Republican Candidate for Nomination for Representative from Forty-first District Chickens With Cards A Bala woman has been much annoyed by the treaspassing of a neighbor's chickens, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat. The other day she died with stout thread to large grains of corn cards whereon was written: "Please pen us in better. We are spilling Mrs. Dash's garden." She scattered these contrivances over her lawn. The chickens, trespassing as usual, ate the corn, and from their mouths that night they spoke the woman's message to their shocked master. Thereafter they trespassed no more. Razor Strops From Old Batting. "Some of the best razor strops in the world are made out of old bolting." said Daniel M. Hendricks, a miller of Minneapolis. "A good razor strop is worth $4 or $5, and its value lies in the fact that the grain of the leather must not run one way. "Old belting which has been in use for a couple of years and subjected to an enormous pulling power during that time is found to fulfill every requirement of the ideal leather, if it is not too oily. The oil can be removed, however, by using pumice stone. Many razor manufactories get their leather by buying an old belting." Too Great a Risk He desired to take out a life policy for $50,000. Smiling eagerly, the agent drew forth the blank form and began the usual series of questions. "Query six," he said at length—"are you an automobileist?" "No," was the ready rejoinder, "I am not." "Motor cyclist, perhaps?" "No." The agent, with a sigh, laid down his pen. "I am sorry," he said, "but we no longer insure pedestrians." --- NO DOLLAR SUBSCRIPTION FROM WEALTHY BANKER. Grimson at Least Had the Satisfaction of Making Mean Man Shell Out, Though It Cost Him Double the Amount. Grimson is not* popular in Wall street. His silent manner discourages familiarity and his abrupt speech does not lend aid to frivolous conversation. Way down in his heart he is not mean, but whenever he is ruffled or inconvenienced he takes a saturnine satisfaction in pushing the trouble along and making some one else uncomfortable. His office is well organized, but somehow two ladies got by the office boy sentinels the other day and were into Grimson's private office before he could retreat. Announcing somewhat timidly that they were representatives of a fresh air fund, they asked for his subscription. Grimson scowled as he took the list. Beggars in an office were a nuisance, but women, well dressed, pretty women, were a thousand times worse. Grimson was swearing under his breath as he reached for his pen, but suddenly his face was illuminated by a smile, a smile that made him look almost handsome. His eyes had been scanning the names on the list and there at the bottom of the column they had rested on * John Henry Brown.....$1 "Madam," said Grimson to the eldest and least attractive of the two women, 'Mr. Brown subscribed only one dollar?" Brown is a banker of national reputation, and his wealth runs far up into the millions. His bank is in the same building as Grimson's office. The ladies explained that Br. Brown put his name down for just one dollar, saying that was all he could afford. "What's that—all he could afford?" repeated Grimson. "Mr. Walters!" The head clerk of Grimson's establishment instantly appeared and stood at attention. "Ascertain my balance in Mr. Brown's bank, Mr. Walters, please, and let me bank at once. Lads, I Grimson Was Swearing Under His Breath. Grimson Was Swearing Under His Breath. will ask your patience for a few minutes." The clerk reappeared in a few moments and announced: "It is $272,640, sir." "Fill out a check for that amount," said Grimson, "in your name, and I will sign it." The check signed, Grimson handed it to the clerk with the terse command: "Draw this at once." The clerk departed, and in a minute or two in burst Brown himself, the check in his hand. "My dear sir," he exclaimed breathlessly, "what can be the meaning of this?" Grimson pointed coldly to the fresh air fund subscription list. "I have just learned," he said evenly, "that you could afford to give only one dollar to the children's fresh air fund. This made me think things were looking pretty fishy at the bank. I decided to draw out." Brown expostulated and argued, but Grimson was obdurate, and the unhappy banker was compelled to add two ciphers to his subscription before Grimson would agree to reconsider his decision to withdraw his account. The latter then put, his own name down for double the amount extorted from Brown and bowed the women out, cold and impasive as ever. But they are almost certain they caught a gleam of humor in his eye as Brown left the office and waddled back down to his bank, hot, perspiring and cursing charities of every description. Now Watch Your Eggs. "It is usually possible," said a chicken to "tell from an egg's looks whether it will hatch out a rooster or a hen. The egg that will hatch out a hen is smooth at both ends. The one that will give a rooster is wrinkled at the point. Sometimes this rule fails, but generally it holds good." Fought Battler to Save Son Her little son Harry being about to grasp the tail of a large rattlesnake which he thought was a field pod, Mrs. Alonzo W. Barrett, of Weston, Conn., attacked the reptile and after a struggle succeeded in killing it with a large stick. The rattler was five feet long and his tail was tipped with 18 rattles. It weighed 12 pounds and is believed to have been the largest rattlesnake ever killed in Fairfield county. The snake was in the back yard of Mrs. Barrett's home when she discovered the boy about to pick it up. Orange a Long-Lived Tree The orange is the longest-lived fruit tree. It begins to bear the third year after budding and for a hundred years it will yield abundant crops. Orange trees have been known to attain to the ripe age of 300. The orange requires less care and attention than any other fruit tree. Its early growth is rapid. In the first two years it grows more than it will in the next 50. This refers, of course, to its height and breadth alone; its fruit stems and consequently its crops increase more rapidly after the first ten years. Corner Sixth and Cedar Streets WILL. E. MATHEIS CO. Opening of Our Fall Styles of Furniture In selecting our Fall Stock we have brought together a "different" kind of Furnishings—the most striking change in evidence is in our Furniture Section. In planning our buying several months ago Mr. Matheis made a special trip to Grand Rapids and New York, to get the advanced ideas, and secured the rarest and best now produced by the Crafts. However critical you may be we are certain the selection will meet with your approval. Craftsman Furnishings By special arrangement we now represent in this city the industries of the Craftsman Workshops. Not the crude imitation variously known as "Mission," "Dutch" or "Weathered Oak," but furniture that is the result of carefully thought out original designs founded on sound principles of construction, to which is added the best possible workmanship. Designed for use and comfort and durability, the beauty of its fine plainness harmonizes with the most luxurious surroundings as well as the most simple. Beauty and Quality in Upholstered Furniture The beautiful sets and pieces of upholstered furniture, while varied enough to suit every taste, all conform to certain well defined lines wrought out by master minds. In having this furniture made to our order we have insisted on materials and workmanship of the very highest quality. Quality is the keynote of our policy. The illustrations in this ad were made directly from the new furniture. They give but a hint of the splendid assortment. We cordially invite every one interested in the better kind of furniture to visit this store. GOLDEN GRAIN BELT BEERS WOULDN'T THIS JAR YOU? So Much he Better—That's What It Is Intended to Do. Getting jarred is, in plain language, the latest cure for seasickness. The method is described in the Technical World, which asserts that success has attended the trials of the new device. The apparatus, which is of German invention, is very simple. It is merely a comfortable chair, the seat of which is set rapidly vibrating up and down by the force of an electrometer connected to the electric lighting wires of the steamer. Those wishing to prevent an attack of seasickness sit down on the vibrating chair. They have about the same sensation as in riding a automobile. The vibratory motion makes the rolling and pitching of the shirless felt, the slow downward motion of the vessel being counteracted by the numerous short vibratory shocks occurring in an upward direction. Got the Mitten. Built a Mill. "The finest mill in the world is the one in Guadalupe Creek, In San Jose, Cal." said D. M. Hendricks, a Minneapolis miller. "It was built by James Lick as a result of his having got the mitten from a young girl when he was a young man. "Lick came from Pennsylvania, where he loved the daughter of a miller. He sought the band of the young woman, but the miller gruffly turned him down with the statement that it was not the girl he sought so much as the grist mill. Lick angrily replied that the old mill was no good, that he didn't want it, and that some day he would build a good grist mill, and make it out of mahogany. He went to South America, griffed into California and made a fortune. He made good his threat by building a mill entirely out of hard wood. It has been a profitable mill, also. Lick never married." Japanese Lacquer Tree Japanese lacquer is a very curious substance. A simple tree sap, like maple sap, it is, yet when applied to wood or metal quite indestructible. A coat of lacquer is proof against alcohol, against boiling water, against almost all known agents. The lacquer tree of Japan is very large. It is always cut down at the age of forty years, as thereafter it begins to dry up. Each tree yields on its demolition about six barrels of lacquer sap. The Japanese are very careful not to let foreigners into the secrets of lacquering. Like and Unlike. The literary work of a wealthy amateur was being lauded in a Philadelphia club. John Luther Long laughed and said: "I always compare our friend's products with Tolstoi's. This comparison edifies and illuminates, for both the resemblances and differences between the two men are marked and striking." A friend of the rich amateur's smiled eagerly: "What are these resemblances and differences, Mr. Long?" he said. "Both men," the novelist answered, "offer their works to publishers free, but Tolstoi's are accepted." No Cotton in Palestine All the efforts made by a Liverpool firm to promote the cultivation of cotton in Palestine have been fruitless, even though labor costs only 25 cents a day and land is one-tenth the price of Egyptian land. The chief cause of the failure is said to be the incapacity and laziness of the natives. L. L. May & Co.'s Is the Place to Get Your . . . FLOWERS . . .
