State Ledger

INTER-STATE Journal Kans.. and Missouri. By F. L. JELTZ. EDITORIAL Co your way you will soon forget Justice is the worst thing to obtain in this world- The world is a stage and every one has to play their own piece. There being no reason for alarm we continue business, Friends are few when they cannot be depended on to do a gracious act. The farmer generally locks his barn when the horse is stolen. The devil tries hard to pursue us but we don't care for that, we are used to his tricks. A man who has an "ad" in this paper is in jail at Clay Center for hotel stealing. Humbugs and blackmailers are in the land look out for them with "tin ears", authority. If the newspapers did not expose crime there would be dull times in this country. There are people here and there who take little notice to the number of falschools they tell you. Marshall John Favor is now at the head of the city agen in after several years in the employ of "Uucle Sam." There are a series of grandrascality going on in Topeka. And remember all that looks nice and glitters is not gold. The public may be aware of the fact that the very moment of a man's life of success is also doomed to disappointment. Above all things we detest a grand, moral hence the best way out of it is to show your colors of independence. We are informed that Senator Burton lives in Abilene and Mr Dewey is law partner resides in Topeka perhaps this may be news. The good people over Kans. are supposed to be pretty good judges of the paper they all say kind words of it "Hurrah for the LEDGER." There are said to be upward of 35 colored residents and children in Abi ae and they could buy property at every low price but only a few seems to have the price There is no Justice no longer people can be bought up for a few "paltry weels." We know of no precise case- if bribery but we think it all the name. It doesn't surprise us at all. It seems to be a delightful past time for many of the young fellows to congregate on dry goods boxes in Abigail, Solomon and Salina and tell each other how drunk they was Saturday night. In fact, Saturday night is the greatest of all nights in these Burgs. Those people who will do the fixing method can now have a chance to act. A scoundrel called our residence this week and remarked the fixing method and he has a game at the same some along "old boy" we are waiting for you. There are some one or two "fired policeman" who we understand are making the rounds of the city insulting and using the "tin star" bluff among descent families, for the benefit of these scoundrels we would advise a "cut out" as a hell surely awaits them at certain places if they repeat the act. If Chief Goft wants to know who they are we can be found at this office. DIDN'T WANT A GIRL Seattle.

The devil can't narm us we are to old for that. The truant officer in these large cities of Kansas are reaping a harvest at $75 per month Save the boys seems to be working pretty close up to date most of them are in school, and no one can hire one on said account. Don't let a few grand rascals frighten you but stand your ground and you can readily see the flight of these grand rascals. Many people kick to soon. Some kick for not being known, others for not being "in it" others because they are not the "whole show." The "dirty little liar" of the Chanute Sun, should come to ToPeka and call at our office perchance he would say I am not the only stinker on the "shore" neither am I the "whole show" he may further remember that he is only a rudimentary scholar he says we are nothing, if not above board, a d-m tool" wou'd horn DUTTQN HOUSE CHANGE. Mr. J, F. Buzzell who has been in this city for 20 years has assumed the management of the Dutton Hou s where he will be pleased to meet his many friends who remember h n many years as a business man of this city. The Dutton is all right now and you will be served kindly. We have spent a few days in the city of Abilene the home of Senator J. R. Burton. Fortunately we arrived there on Oct 1st which is a remarkable day in Abilene. All the pretty young ladies who fancy the occupation are mustered into service on that day doing a turn at collecting for any and all the merchants. These young ladies are the pride of many well to do citizens of Abilene and take great pleasure in collecting and keeping the "fellows" on the run. There is nothing that these young ladies cannot study out and do by being first of the month collectors they generally return with face a-glow which means more than anger in fact it is seldom you see a male collector on the streets of Abilene and we are informed that these young ladies most High School and college students are clever at the work and it would be butterly impossible for an Abilene merchant to turn one of them down for the most noted male collector.

WOULDN'T TEACH NEGROES Arkansas City, Kan. — Ever since the city schools opened there has been a shortage of teachers and nearly every teacher who proved that she was capable of holding the job was given a position. Miss Georgia Grimes of Paris, Ky. applied by letter for a position and was told to come and she would be given a school. She arrived here yesterday accompanied by her father. Miss Grimes was given her choice of three rooms and looked them over. It so happened that in each of these rooms there was a colored scholar of two, and that this was too much for the kentuckians. The father at one irrefused to allow his daughter to teach in a mixed school. They were informed that in kansas there is no law authorizing the separation of the two races and that if she wanted to teach school in Arkansas City she would have to accept things as they were found. The father who is J. B. Grimes, of Paris, Ky., said that if his neighbors in his own state ever found that his daughter was teaching little Negroes he would be a social out cast and his position in society in kentucky demaided that she give up the position. In all the correspondence between the young lady and the school board no mention was made of the colored children in the school. The rather and daughter left for home this morning. Milton E.

It is a wonder the professional thieves don't organize a steal trust. Mr. Harry Lehr has been quite commonplace for more than a fortnight now. The advertising that some men get doesn't cost them anything but reputation. Britannia may rule the waves, but the Yankee yacht can beat her skimming through them. At one of the equine watering places it is common gossip that Major Delmar is running after Lou Dillon. What a clash there will be if the unspeakable Turk declares war against the unpronounceable Bulgarian! Perhaps the Colorado earthquake was for the purpose of leveling the snowdrifts that the wind had piled up. A woman can get as much fun out of a letter of condolence as a man can out of an old pipe with a cracked stem. The man who is always trying to get something for nothing generally ends by getting nothing for something from a swindler. A branch of Yale university in Chiba would at least determine to what extent the pigtail can be taught to handle the pigskin. The king of Portugal has just been made an admiral in the British navy, but he will not be called upon to fight if England goes to war. Another squaw doctor has been killed because she failed to effect a cure. Doctors in civilization have much to be thankful for. Even vast wealth has its disadvantages. John D. Rockefeller receives more anonymous letters than any other man in the whole country. Even if you are now in doubt how to pronounce Miss May Goelet's last name, if you will wait two months you may pronounce it Rocksburrow. Another attack on the women's clubs in the name of the "home." Of course men, being at home all day, are at liberty to go to their clubs in the evening. The use of automobiles in war will prove a great success if the enemy can be persuaded to sit on the fence while they go around the track until a tire bursts. A New York office boy has broken down from overwork. Another argument against this epidemic of double-headers at the close of the baseball season. John Atkinson of Boston said it was a "terrible" mistake when he was arrested and fined for spanking women on the street. What the women said is not reported. 'A society of the girls who have been engaged to Hobson would be too unwieldy. Better organize a society of the girls who have not been engaged to Hobson. Dr. Arnold Tompkins, addressing 400 teachers in a normal school in Chicago the other day, said grammar is no longer essential to success. Certainly not—in Chicago. As long as the industry of assassinating Christians is not interrupted the sultan probably feels that he need not particularly mind the spectacular demonstrations of the powers. It is reported that the dwellers in the island of Papua are gradually losing the use of their legs. Perhaps this is a rest cure retreat for the American telegraph messenger boy. The indorsement by the navy of "The Star Spangled Banner" may serve to dispel the notion in our insular possessions that "A Hot Time in the Old Town" is our national anthem. No wonder school teachers are scarce in Pennsylvania. Some of the unromantic school boards there require each teacher to give a bond that she will not marry until after the term is ended. Those Paris aeronauts who are preparing to cross the ocean in a balloon argue with much force that their method of travel insures immunity from seasickness, card sharps and collisions with icebergs. The news that convicts in the Philadelphia state prison have been busily engaged in counterfeiting will be discouraging to all the hopeful people who believe that prisons are instruments of moral improvement and reform. Editor Stead is greatly concerned about the problem. What shall the world do with its multimillionaires? There is only one more important question, and that is, What more will the multimillionaires be likely to do to the rest of us? A Chicago girl went fishing and caught a pair of trousers containing $8.13. That's nothing. Miss Goellet's angling has just landed a whole suit of clothes containing a duke with a rent roll of $300,000 a year and a string of titles as long as her own petite self. The Deutschland, with her record of 5 days, 11 hours, 54 minutes from Cherbourg to Sandy Hook, is the Reliance, the Lou Dillon, the Dan Pash and the Albert Champion of the transatlantic steamship fleet. HE SHOT TO KILL CRAZED BY JEALOUSY. A. F. GEB HART TRIED TO MURDER WIFE. TWO BULLETS FIRED TOOK EFFECT Woman's Daughter and Aged Father Was Done in Mrs. Gebhart's Kansas City, Kan., Home—Woman Witnessed the Crime—Shooting May Die. KANSAS CITY—(Special). In a fit of jealous rage, A. F. Gebhart, a gas fitter, shot and seriously wounded his wife, Mrs. Lillie Gebhart, at her home, 2401 North Mill street, this city, Wednesday morning. It is believed that but for the act that she grappled with her husband, Mrs. Gebhart would have been killed outright. Gebhart fired three shots, but two went wide of their mark. One bullet struck Mrs. Gebhart behind the left ear and ranged downward through the cheek, into the mouth and passed out under the chin. Another struck her in the breast about three inches above the heart, and glanced to the right, stopping under the right arm. While neither struck a vital organ, Dr. Milner, who dressed the injuries, says that the wound in the face may result fatally. She was taken to Bethany hospital. Mrs. Gebhart was shot in the presence of her daughter, Clara, who lives with her, and her aged father, E. T. Cox, who also makes his home there. Mr. and Mrs. Gebhart had been living separately for about seven months. During that time they have seen each other very seldom, and Gebhart had never been inside the home until the day of the shooting. When he arrived Mrs. Gebhart was alone in the front room of the building which faces north. Her daughter and father were in a rear room. He approached the door, Mrs. Gebhart says, without warning, and began to ask her about a man whom he had seen help her on a street car at Fifth and Main streets, in this city, last Saturday. In the meantime her daughter had heard his voice, and anticipat MARKS INNOVATION SAM SALVADOR MARKS INNOVATION IN SHIP BUILDING. SAM SALVADOR Queer Steamboat Now on Voyage to Brazil. A dispatch from New Orleans says the most curious sea-going craft that has arrived in port in many a day is the steamboat San Salvador, owned by Robert Wall and commanded by James Chapman. It is from Chicago and bound for Brazil. The boat is flat-bottomed, with steel hull and draws only four feet of water. It was constructed at a cost ing trouble, ran into the room and got between her mother and father. Mrs. Gebbart says her husband drew a revolver while the girl was still between them, and she cried for him not to shoot. This frightened the girl and she ran into the yard screaming for help. Mrs. Gebhart says she grappled with her husband as soon as the daughter had moved from between them, and pleaded with him not to kill her, but despite her efforts to push the weapon aside he began to shoot. The first shot missed, but when he fired the second time Mrs. Gebhart says he placed the muzzle of the weapon against her head. She moved backwards, and instead of entering her brain, the bullet passed through her ear, cheek and mouth. By this time Mr. Cox, who is feeble, had gained the room, and Gebhart started to run, firing the bullet which struck her in the breast as he went. After shooting his wife, Gebhart ran northwest to Quindaro boulevard and disappeared. He went to the home of W. A. Hooker, 715 Greely avenue, and no one being at home, sat down on the porch. Here he was found at 11 o'clock by Mr. Hooker, who had been to a lodge meeting. Hooker persuaded Gebhart to go with him to the police station and give himself up. Gebhart told Sergeant Kinman that he hardly realized that he had shot his wife. He said he went there to effect a reconciliation, and that when she refused he became desperate. RICHMOND, VA.—(Special.) Registration books have been closed in Richmond and the result shows that 5,000 negroes have been disfranchised. Less than na thousand are now qualified to vote and they are no longer a factor in local politics. Inquiries in the state at large justify the belief that at least five-sixths of the negroes in Virginia have not now the right to vote, and they will no longer have to be reckoned in the calculations. Deluge in Arizona. KINGMAN, A. T.—(Special.) One of the greatest stormins in years fell over this part of Arizona Wednesday. At the Gold Road mining camp the storm was in the nature of a cloudburst and filled the canyons with a flood of water whi carried away everything in its way. To the east of Kingman, the storm fell on the mountains and a vast body of water rushed down against the tracks of the Santa Fe, ten miles east, washing out five miles of track. ried twenty-four years ago, but of recent years they did not agree. About four years ago Mrs. Gebhart secured a divorce, but on September 27, 1901, they remarried. Last March they again separated, and Gebhart moved to this city, rooming at Fourteenth street and Grand avenue, and following his trade as a gasfitter. About two weeks ago he went to Belton, Mo., to do some work, but returned from there last Friday. The next day he saw his wife at Fifth and Main streets. She says she had been in this city to purchase some furniture, and the man who sold her the bill helped her to get on the car. She saw her husband standing on the opposite corner, and said that she expected trouble from him. This is the circumstance about which her husband asked just before shooting her. Mrs. Gebhart says this is the third time her husband has tried to kill her. Always before she says she was able to take his revolver, and she thought she could do the same Wednesday. Mrs. Gebhart's father, E. T. Cox, is one of the oldest settlers in Wyandotte county. Mrs. Gebhart was born in Kansas City, Kan., forty-two years ago. There are four of the Gebhart children, and Mrs. Gebhart has several brothers, among them Samuel Cox, a member of the Kansas City, Mo., fire department. Her children are Mrs. Al Standish, who lives in Kansas City, Kan., and Fred, Frank and Clara Gebhart, who have been living with their mother. Frank is a clerk in the office of the Wyandotte Gas Company. MADISON'S BODY FOUND. Murderer of Three Kansas Women Suicided in a Cornfield. COWLES, NEB.—(Special.) The dead body of Tom Madison, the supposed slayer of the Smith county, Kan., family of three women, was Wednesday found in a field near here. He had been shot, supposedly by himself. He had apparently been dead a number of days. The body has been positively identified as that of the Kansas fugitive and has been turned over to the coroner for an inquest. The fugitive had seemingly been hounded so closely by various posses IN SHIP BUILDING. of $15,000 and owing to the curtains shape no underwriting firm will insure it. They believe the voyage will be perilous to a flat-bottom craft. Mr. Wall owns large interests in Maranham, Brazil, and he had the vessel constructed in Illinois to avoid the heavy import duties on materials in Brazil that he was compelled to take his own life in order to escape his pursuers. He shot himself under the chin with a revolver, and the bullet came out of the left side of the temple. A box of rat poison was found in his coat pocket, together with an ear of corn, which was half eaten. A letter found in the clothing makes it certain the body is that of Madison. Mrs. Eliza Payne, a widow, aged 65 years, her daughter, Mrs. Edith Williamson, a grass widow, aged about 35, and the latter's little daughter, aged about 12 years, were all murdered in their bed about 1 o'clock on the morning of September 16, fifteen miles north of Lebanon, Kan. On the bed was found a corn shovel, its heavy iron shank covered with blood and hair. The victims' heads were crushed and the wallpaper was spattered with blood. An hour later the body of Mrs. Williamson was found in a draw 200 feet east of the house, her skull also crushed. A bloody trail showed where Mrs. Williamson had been dragged from the house. Murder at Indian Territory Murder at Indian Territory Dance. DAUGHTERY, I. T. — (Special). William Johnson, a well-to-do citizen of this place, shot and killed a man by the name of Deel while a dance was in progress at the former's home Wednesday night. Deel was one of the invited guests, and while drinking attacked Johnson with a knife, after trying to cut the latter's wife. Johnson surrendered after the shooting. He claims he acted in selfdefense.

The civil service commission has received a call from the Philippine government for 150 male teachers, and will hold examinations at various cities on October 19 and 20. The salaries range from $900 to $1,200 per annum. The postoffice at Louis, Greer county, O. T., has been discontinued; mall to Lincoln. The comptroller of the currency has authorized the First National bank, Perry, O. T., to begin business with a capital of $50,000. G. A.

M. Carlotta, the wife of Maximilian, the Austrian Archduke who conquered Mexico, has been insane since Napoleon III refused her pleas that he aid her husband, who was finally captured and shot.

Calling for her dead husband Carlotta, widow of Maximilian, once emperor of Mexico, is dying in her prison, the Chateau de Bonchat, near Brussels. She still holds a mock court daily, fancying herself yet Empress of Mexico, for she has been bereft of reason for thirty-seven years. To humor her the attendants pretend that she presides over their entertainments. LEAVE THE FEUD DISTRICT. Famous Hatfield Family to Live in the West. The Hatfields, famous in Kentucky and West Virginia for their feud with the McCoys, have deserted the old battleground and gone to the far west. About fifty strong, they have bought land near Cheahs, Wash., where they will settle. It is nearly half a century since the feud began between these two families. Ever since then the trouble has been more or less of a terror in the mountain border land of Kentucky and West Virginia, scores Carlotta was seventeen when she became Maximilian's bride in 1857. It was a love match and the ten years of their wedded life were a continuous honeymoon. But Maximilian was overthrown, captured, led out behind a hill at daybreak and shot by the "execution guard." Before the capture of the Emperor the Empress pleaded with Napoleon III and with the Pope to aid her husband. Her prayers were unanswered. The first symptoms of mental derangement were manifested on the day on which she had her last interview with Napoleon. Her mania is harmless, and by humoring her belief that she is still empress and in a palace in Mexico, her attendants find her easy to manage. With the limited funds allowed her by her family she has always found much fault, because "the palace," as she styled the castle that is really her prison, was not kept up in better style. King Leopold seldom sees her. It is a public scandal that he dissipated her fortune. The most pathetic feature of Empress Carlotta's fate is her hallucination that her husband is alive. She talks of him frequently, and often begs courtiers to send her husband to her at once. "Why does he stay away from me so long?" she asks pitifully. Christian University for China Lawrence Thurston, who has been sent to China to found the proposed Christian university to be established by the missionary society of Yale University, is but 28 years of age. He will locate the new institution in some important city. Sons of prominent Chinamen will be secured as students, with the hope that their conversion may have a wide influence. The proposed university will have a four years' course and a postgraduate school of journalism. Mr. Thurston was born in Connecticut and was graduated from Yale in 1898. Twelve other members of his class have become foreign missionaries. City Executive a Yale Student. Charles Henry Leeds, mayor of Stamford, Conn., will be among the political science in a three-year course. Mr. Leeds will not resign as students of Yale university when that institution reopens this fall. He will devote himself to the study of mayor, to which position he was elected last November by a large majority. His friends are planning to make him democratic candidate for governor next spring. The mayor graduated from Princeton in 1895 and is only thirty years of age. Old Guard to Retire. "Shotgun Dick" Bullock, the old-time "gold guard," who has guarded $300,000,000 of gold from the Black Hills to civilization during the last twenty-five years without the loss of an ounce of "dust," is soon to retire from the business and will be pensioned by the Adams Express Company, whose treasury cars he has guarded most of the years since the Black Hills became a gold-producing country. Author May Be Alderman Richard Watson Glider, editor of the Century Magazine, has been asked to run for alderman in New York on the fusion ticket, and may do so. George Haven Putnam, publisher, has signified his willingness to run for alderman on the same ticket. Strange Reason for Suicide. David Lake of Harrison, Ohio, attempted suicide the other day. When asked for the reason for his act he stated that his relatives proposed taking him to Cincinnati to live, and sooner than reside in that city he preferred to die. LEAVE THE FEUD DISTRICT. Famous Hatfield Family to Live in the West. The Hafields, famous in Kentucky and West Virginia for their feud with the McCoys, have deserted the old battleground and gone to the far west. About fifty strong, they have bought land near Cheahals, Wash., where they will settle. It is nearly half a century since the feud began between these two families. Ever since then the trouble has been more or less of a terror in the mountain border land of Kentucky and West Virginia, scores of lives having been wiped out on each side. For some time there has been comparative peace. The present exodus is due to the influence of friends who have already colonized in the northwest. The Changes of Time: The Changes of Time. Bishop Potter tells of a New York clergyman whose views when he took his present charge were far in advance of those about him. By degrees new ideas crept in and a young minister, thoroughly imbued with these advanced notions, was called in to assist him. Said the young man one day: "Doctor, I have always been told that you were a high churchman, but I don't think you are high church at all." The elder preacher replied: "My dear young brother, when I first took up my residence in New York I lived 'way upown. Now I live 'way downtown and yet I have been living in exactly the same house all the time." Crders Coat of Tiger Skin. Miss Anna Morgan, daughter of J. P. Morgan, whose prowess in the hunting field has been much written about, allows her fondness for wild animals to color her taste in dress. She has just given an order to a New York furrier for a coat of tiger skin. The astonished tradesman protested that while rugs of the striped skin were undoubtedly beautiful, no garment of the fur had ever been made or worn in New York. The young woman replied that this was a matter of no consequence to her, and next winter she will astound her friends with the novel costume. Popular Italian Professor De Prof. Francesco Pepere, dean of the law faculty at the University of Naples, whose death, at the age of 89, was recently announced, had been connected with that university fifty-four years. He was the idol of the students, although those who came from other parts of Italy sometimes found it difficult to follow his lectures, because when he became very much interested in his subject he spoke in broadest Neopolitan dialect. Indictment of "East Set." Bronson Howard, the dramatist, indignantly denies that New York women, outside of the "400," are addicted to drink, but declares that those of what has come to be known as "the fast set" indulge to a deplorable extent. Such women, however, are in his opinion ignored by refined persons. Mr. Howard says that stories are heard daily in New York of women who become more or less intoxicated at dinners and other functions. Veteran Trainer and Driver Charles Taylor, the oldest trainer and driver of trotting horses in the country, is nearly 97 years old, but is still hearty. He lives at White River Junction, Mass., where he keeps busy looking after horses on a farm. This is the first year since his boyhood that he has been off the track. Taylor was born in Canada in 1896, but has lived nearly all his life in the United States. Plans Enormous Art School. Alfred Gilbert, the English sculptor, has undertaken an art school of unusual magnitude at Bruges. He has hired an enormous disused factory which yields, besides great studios, living accommodation for 300 pupils. He purposes doing all his work in the presence of his classes. Vermont Village in Luck. The will of Silas L. Griffith of Danby, the Vermont lumber king, which has been probated at Rutland, makes bequests of more than $100,000 for the improvement of the little village of Danby, where Mr. Griffith spent his entire life. NO FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE IN NEW ENGLAND NOW. The Agricultural Department's Service to Stockmen—Disease Was Eradicated Under Most Serious Difficulties—3,900 Cattle Slaughtered and 200 Premises Disinfected. WASHINGTON.—(Special.) Secretary Wilson said that the receipt through the state department of an official notice that Great Britain had removed its embargo on cattle and sheep from the New England ports was the conclusion of the great work which the department had been engaged in since December 1 for the eradication of foot and mouth disease from the New England states and the restoration of traffic to the condition it was in before this outbreak occurred. The secretary regards this as, in effect, the most important and valuable piece of work that the department had done for American agriculture. "No country," he said, "before has succeeded in stamping out such an extensive outbreak of this disease. The work was accomplished under great difficulties. The weather in New England last December was very inclement and the inspectors and their assistants were obliged to work in the open country with the thermometer far below zero. Some of the men had their extremities frozen and were disabled. Notwithstanding these obstacles, the work went forward constantly and rapidly. It is difficult, even at this time, to understand how the pits were dug in the frozen ground for burying the carcasses, and how the disinfectants were applied with everything of a liquid mature frozen in a short time after it was exposed to the atmosphere. But the work was so thorough that in not a single case where the disinfection was conducted by the department's representatives did the disease reoccur when fresh cattle were introduced. "During this work 3,900 cattle and 590 hogs and sheep were slaughtered and paid for, and over 200 premises were disinfected. The total cost of the work was less than $300,000. Since the last diseased herd was slaughtered, all animals in the infected district have been carefully examined three times without finding any traces of the disease. "Arrangements are now being made for forwarding cattle and sheep for export through the ports of Boston and Portland, and shipments will commence in a few days. The department has been working in connection with the state department since the 1st of July to secure favorable action from the British government, and is much gratified that the trade can now be resumed." Secretary Wilson gives much credit to Dr. Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal industry, and his assistants for the effectiveness of the work done. Charles Dickens' Birthplace. CHARLES DICKENS LONDON—(Special.) The birthplace of Charles Dickens, 387 Commercial Road, Landport, near the Portsmouth dockyard, where his father was a clerk, in which the author spent the earlier part of his life, was sold by auction at Portsmouth recently and bought in for $5,625 by the mayor, representing the city of Portsmouth. There was a large attendance at the sale, which was followed by speeches congratulating the municipality of Portsmouth on its action, to which the mayor responded. It was announced that a Dickens museum would probably be established in the house. Find $2,350 in Miser's Cabin. FERGUS FALLS, MINN.—(Special). F. W. Trombler aged 70 years, a miser who has been living alone in a miser- able hut on Mill street, is dead. Neigh- bors who searched his house found $2,350 secreted in various nooks and cavities, and now the search is being continued, under direction of the pro- bate court. It is said he has nephews in Omaha, who will inherit his wealth. Little Hope for Him. BALTIMORE—(Special). A consultation by house physicians of the St. Agnes sanitarium, was held on the case of Archbishop Kain, of St. Louis, late Tuesday afternoon. It was decided that, owing to the debilitated state of the patient, an operation at this time would be inadvisable. A general breakdown, due to overwork, an affection of the kidneys and a weakness of his heart action renders the condition of his grace so critical that an operation is deemed impracticable. Alaskan Maps Wrong. He Says. LONDON. — (Special.) When the Alaskan boundary commission resumed its session Tuesday morning Christopher Robinson, G. C., restumed his speech in behalf of the Canadian claims, although, at the suggestion of Chief Justice Alverstone, he remained reated. Mr. Robinson dealt vigorously with the fallibility of the maps of the district under contention. He alleged that the American deductions therefrom dere, therefore, weak. Cossack System to Be Given a Trial. CAMP YOUNG, WEST POINT, KY. —(Special.) Tuesday's work in the army maneuvers involved the drilling of outposts and it is believed that the Cossack system of this branch of field work recently adopted by the army, will be given its first trial. The militia from various states began to arrive Wednesday. An Atchison girl of 18 is making wedding clothes which her mother will wear next month; another milestone in the march of Progress. POWER TA COLOMBIA'S RULER A Report That the President Can Now Make a Canal Treaty. NEW YORK—(Special.) A dispatch received from Colon by a newspaper here says advices received there from Bogota are that the Colombian congress has passed a law authorizing the president to conclude a canal treaty with the United States on a certain basis without the approval of congress. Representatives of the Colombian government here have received no information on the subject. As the State department has instructed the United States minister at Bogota to arrange, if possible, an amicable adjustment of the affairs of the Central and South American Telegraph company with the Colombian government, the company has instructed its engineers to delay cutting out Buena Ventura until further orders. Because of the statements that the Colombian government has ordered the telegraph company's Panama office to be closed in the event of the company closing the Buena Ventura office, the Central and South American Telegraph company has asked that the United States government protect it, under the treaty of 1848, from any interference on the part of Colombian officials. HIS GIRL ILLEGALLY WEDDED The Allegation of Claus Spreckle in the Watson Property Suit. HONOLULU.—(Special). The attorneys for Claus Spreckles assert that the marriage of Mrs. Thomas Watson, a daughter of Mr. Spreckles, to Mr. Watson is void. Mrs. Watson, now of England, is suing her father for the recovery of Honolulu property valued at $400,000, which she conveved to him soon after her marriage in 1854. The marriage led to an estrangement between daughter and parents, and Mrs. Watson returned the property which had previously been presented to her by her father. The present suit is based on the fact that Mrs. Watson's deed of conveyance did not bear her husband's signature. Mr. Spreckles's attorneys allege that Mr. Watson had been previously married in 1869 and that the divorce which he secured in Utah in 1876 was illegal and that consequently his second marriage is void. TO CHURCH IN EVENING DRESS The Death of Dr. Kerr Gray, Originator of the Custom. NEW YORK.—(Special). Dr. Kerr Gray, originator of the society for Sunday evening dress service, was found dead in bed at Edinburg Monday, where he had been spending a short vacation. His best known work was in connection with St. George's chapel, of which he was the incumbent. Troubled over the smallness of his congregation, he appealed to fashionable Mayfair to come to the service in the attire in which he had dined. The service was timed to suit the ways of society. Thereafter there were rows of diamonds and stately ranks of shining shirt fronts in the pews. The minister was high in the regard of the theatrical world, and many popular actresses sany in his chair. BRICK WALLS STOPPED THE FIRE Billings, OK, Had No Water Service to Fight Its Wear Plants. CILLINGS, OK. —(Special.) Three business houses burned on Monday night, causing a loss of $5,000. The buildings destroyed were of wood and burned rapidly. The progress of the flames was stopped by a stone structure occupied by Bennett's grocery store. There is no water works system in town, which, for this reason, was practically at the mercy of the flames. A bucket brigade, composed of about all the able bodied men in town, was unable to accomplish anything towards stopping the fire's progress. Senator Hanna in a Wreck SENATOR Hanna in a Wine BERLIN HEIGHTS, O. — (Special) The private electric car carrying Senator Hanna and others from Cleveland to the Republican meeting here struck a derailing switch three miles east of Berlin Heights Tuesday and jumped the track while running at a rapid rate of speed. All the occupants of the car were thrown into a heap at one end of the coach, but aside from being badly shaken up, all escaped injury. An Innovation in Church Fellowship. LINCOLN, NEB. — (Special) A church fraternity on the order of the college Greek letter fraternities has been organized at the University of Nebraska. A house has been rented and furnished for the accommodation of student members of the Episcopal church in the university. Bishop Williams was the originator of the plan and a clubhouse will soon be built. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

CHRONICLES Eugene E. Lario, of 751 Twentieth Avenue, ticke t seller in the Union Station, Denver, Col., says: "You are at librery to repeat what I first stated through our Denver papers about Donna's Kidney Pills in the summer of 1899, for I have had no reason in the interim to change my opinion of the remedy. I said when first interviewed that if I had a friend and ac- quaintance suffering from backache or kidney trouble I would unhesitably advise them to take Doan's Kidney Pills. I was subject to severe attacks of backache, always aggravated if I sat long at a desk. It struck me that if Doan's Kidney Pills performed half what they promised they might at least help. This induced me to try the remedy. It absolutely stopped the backache. I have never had a pain or a twinge since." A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mr. Lario will be mailed to any part of the United States on application. Address Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. For sale by all druggists.

Among other things Miss Bradshaw says: "I had Kidney Trouble with the various unpleasant symptoms which always come with that disease, and I have found a cure. I would strongly advise all who may be suffering with any form of Kidney Complaint to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which I have found to be entirely satisfactory. "This remedy is within the reach of all, and it is all that it is recommended to be. I found it so, and therefore feel it my duty to tell others about it."

If ever the "light that never was on land or sea" glorified a human face it glorified the one that lay before her on the pillow. Great dark eyes of that rare color so seldom seen, violet, deepest violet, wonderful eyes like two deep wells; one could look and look yet not fathom their depths; brown hair pushed back from a broad white brow. Every vestige of sin and earthly dross washed free from the small, perfect features by physical pain. Circumstances and environment made him a street gamin. God made him beautiful. she pressed the little lily outside the cov. Presently he said she had to lean down words, "Wonct I hear barricks, 'bout a fel in de sky and love know dat one?" "Perhaps I do, de like this?" and Bart refrain of that swee sing, "Suffer Little Unto Me, Jesus Said. A joyous light brass and a gleam of ra She had entered the room reluctantly, dreading to look at the bed where he lay. Unused to such scenes, she shrank from the sight of pain and suffering. An hour before she had come to the hospital to sing for the children. Just as she was leaving a nurse had followed her and told her of this boy dying upstairs. He had heard her through the closed doors singing to the others, and begged to see her. Her glance began at the foot of the bed, and moved up gradually over the motionless limbs to his face. When she met the glance of those wonderful eyes every feeling but tenderness and pity vanished. She was beside him in an instant kneeling there. "You wanted to see me, little boy?" she said. "Did you want to hear me sing?" A slow wavering smile swept over his face. "Yer bet!" he whispered. "I heard you down stairs, singin' ter de odder kid, and nurse said she'd bring yer." He spoke in the vernacular of the streets, in the slow drawl, and the mutilated English, but the voice was clear and sweet. Barbara thought a moment. "What shall I sing you, dear? What kind of songs do you like?" "Oh, I don't care; anything dats a song. I hain't perticlar. I ain't never heard such an orful lot. Wonst I went to Koster's and heard some gals sing, and wont Jim and me went ter der show at Miner's. But I likes de songs what de Salvation army sings best—makes yer feel kinder quiet and good, you know." Barbara began in a low voice, singing under her breath, hymns she had learned when a child. He lay with his eyes closed, drinking in the music. When she had finished he did not stir, and she thought he had fallen asleep. She bent over and quietly touched his forehead with the tips of her gloved fingers. Instantly his eyes opened and smiled into hers. "I was just listin'", he said; "I'd like hear yer sing agin something right out loud." And Barbara, there on her knees in that small, barren room, with Death's messenger so close that the very shadow of his wings seemed to enfold them both, sang as she had never sung before. Never had the glorious voice God had given her sounded more beautiful, more wonderfully sweet, than when it rang out in that narrow room. "I know that my Reedemer liveth"—liquid, clear, like pearls of dew from heaven. the notes fell. Never had Barbara Randolph, who had sung to every great and fashionable audience in that great city, received such homage, such rapt, adoring homage, as t that silent, motionless little figure on the bed paid her. She knew by the unerring instinct of genius that she struck a responsive note of harmony in the boy's soul; that uncouth, uneducated, homeless, nameless walf from the streets that he was, in his soul dwell the love of exquisite harmonies and music; that her voice was the key that unlocked the gate of that soul, and for the first time in his short life, that had been crowded so "Do you want to hear me sing?" full of the harsh, the coarse, the unlovely experiences of poverty and distress; just as his soul was hovering on the border of that land whose light even now was glorifying his face, he experienced joy. When her voice died away he drew a long, deep, quivering sigh. "Gee! Ain't that a corker! I hain't never heard anything like dat before—nevir." Oh, the pathos of it! The rough, coarse slang of the streets, the only language he knew, to express the emotion of that beautiful soul. The tears sprang to Barbara's eyes and she pressed the little, cold hand that lay outside the coverlid, to her lips. lay outside the coverlid, to her lips. Presently he said in a voice so low she had to lean down to catch the words, "Wonct I heard a song at de brickrs, 'bout a feller what lived up in de sky and loved kids; does yer know dat one?" "Perhaps I do, dear; was it anything like this?" and Barbara hummed the refrain of that sweet hymn children sing, "Suffer Little Children to Come Unto Me, Jesus Said." A joyous light broke over his face and a gleam of radiant brightness came into his eyes. "Yes, dats it, dats it. Sing it again!" The nurse came quietly in at the door "Do you tink He'd care fer a little feller like me?" "Do you tink He'd care for a little feller like me?" and framed the words with her lips. "Go quickly." Her trained eyes told her what was coming. But Barbara shook her head and walked over to the window. The nurse molested his lips with some stimulant and tried to help him. But the pain was cruel, twisting and torturing the poor, mangled body. Barbara stood holding on to the casement of the window, drawing her breath in great gasps as if that could help him. When the paroxysm had passed he lay back on the pillows exhausted, Barbara crept back to the bed. Slowly the deep violet eyes opened and the same exquisite smile he had greeted her with crept over his face again. His lips were moving. Barbara caught the words: "Jesus, what loved de little kids! Do yer tink He'd care for a little feller like me?" "Oh, little boy, little boy, I am sure he would. I am sure he would," said Barbara. Again that marvelous smile, just touching the corners of his mouth. Just then the light went out of the dark eyes, and the quiet peace of the Easter morning streaming in at the open window wrapped them close. Another little white soul had joined the angels, and in Barbara's heart until she died she could hear the child's voice. "Do yer tink He'd care for a little feller like me?" The Term "Quaker." A firm of Surrey, England, bottlers proposes, if it can secure the trademark, to place on the market a certain drink to be called "Quaker Beer." But sometimes other bodies than the advertiser have to be reckoned with, and in this case the Society of Friends is not sure that the phrase is likely to add to the prestige of Quakerism in the same proportion as it may to the beer. Inquiries made at the headquarters of the society clicked the fact that the firm in question had been gently expostulated with by the recording clerk or secretary of the Society of Friends, and asked to withdraw their application. The firm, however, politely but firmly declined. Their defense is that the "word Quaker is a picturesque and obsolete term" admirably suited to their purpose. Under these circumstances the "Meeting for Sufferings"—that is, the monthly committee meeting of the society—has given directions that the application be vigorously opposed. Names of Roman Horses. At the recent excavations in the Roman forum an inscribed stone in honor of Avillus Teres, a charlot driver of the time of the Emperor Domitian, was brought to light. It will probably interest modern sportsmen to learn that the inscription gives the names of the horses with which Avillus Teres won his triumphs in the arena, their birthplaces and their colors. The names are eighty in number and include the following: Wolf, Sparrow, Robber, Bee, Dove, Pearl, Emerald, Jewel, Eagle, Red Fox, The Most Lucky One, Desolator, Dagger, etc. The naturalist will find an important historical hint in the fact that the great majority of the horses named upon the stone are described as "Africans." There are only single indications of a Spanish, a Gallic, a Thessalian and an Aetolian horse having assisted the renowned Avillus to gain his victories. WORN OUT, DRAGGED OUT. JOSEPHINE MORRIS, 236 Carroll St., Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "Peruna is a fine medicine to take any time of the year, but I have found it especially helpful to withstand the wear and tear of the hot weather. I have taken it now for two summers and feel that it has kept my system free from malaria, and also kept me from having that worn-out, dragged skin from the sun. "I therefore have no hesitation in saying that I think it is the finest tonic in the world."—Josephine Morris. Peruna is frequently used as a mitigation of the effects of hot weather. What a bath is to the skin, Peruna is to the mucous membranes. Bathing keeps the skin healthy, Peruna makes the mucous membranes clean and healthy. With the skin and mucous membranes in good working condition, it can be withstood with very little suffering. Frequent bathing with an occasional use of Peruna is sure to mitigate the horrors of The are gene- form of s Dyspe- pation, L Kidney a duce an spirits, lo Don't feel happy.

MARPALUS ABULA There is health and satisfaction in a steak and its simple fixings, or a meal of fish fresh from the sea with a dash of something on the side; but the menu which runs from cocktails at 7:30 in the evening to black coffee at 10 p. m. is a delusion and a snare.

England's first book titled CAR A novel style of tramcar has just been introduced at Southport, says an English paper. It is known as the "one-man" car, and is believed to be the only one of its kind in England. The car, which is of neat construction, can be worked by one man, the driver, who will be in a position by which he will be able to take payment, and give tickets, the services of a conductor thus being dispensed with. Forests in Germany. In the official count of 1900 the area covered by forests in Germany aggregated 34,988,672 acres, of which 17,443.188 acres belonged to the states and municipalities. These, as also the woodlands of private individuals, are kept in a high state of scientific cultivation, as the preservation of forests is considered to be a matter of great importance for economie and hygienic reasons. Successful Novels It is stated that nine of the most successful of modern novels aggregated a sale of over 1,600,000 copies. The paper on which these books were printed was made of wood fiber—cellulose—and the Pawtucket Gazette figures out that it required about 4,000 trees to furnish this paper. He Knew the Blouse He (as they were seated in a quiet nook near the links)—"Are you quite sure we never met before this season?" She—"Yes; quite positive." He—"And you haven't a sister?" She—No; why do you ask?" He—"Well, I am positive I hugged that blouse before, somewhere." British Gulana.

"For five years I really did not know what a perfectly well day was, and if I did not have headache, I had backache or a pain some-thing, and not worth the effort I made to keep going.
