PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. A FIRESIDE COMPACTION. It is true if you see it in THE BEE. VOL. XXV. NO. 32. Senator William Warn r One of the most conspicuous figures in the Senate of the United States is Hon. William Warner, of Missouri. He is looked upon as one of the greatest men in the United States and more especially the Senate, because he defeated the greatest man in the democratic party in this country. Senator Warner is a great man, because he has a record that commands respect and he is the admirer of the politicians. He has been one of the most valuable members of the Republican party in the West, and he is today the man to whom the politicians will look, should they be in need of presidential timber in 1907. Senator Warner is a man who can unite all factions and a man in whom all factions may impose confidence. Senator Warner is one of the most brilliant lawyers in the West. He is no doubt one of the leading lawyers in the Senate. He has a clean record as well as a brilliant intellect. The Republicans in the West admire him for his staying qualities. They fear him because he is against corruption. They honor him because he has been a brave soldier upon the field of battle. His record as a soldier will equal the most deserving and surpass many. He believes in the old soldier. He loves loyalty and admires patriotism. Senator Warner is a man easy to approach. He is not a selfish man and his constituents speak of him as the probable presidential nominee of the Republican party in 1908. If he is nominated no man in the Democratic party could be strong enough to defeat him. He also believes in the progress of the colored race. He has gone out of his way to defend and protect worthy colored citizens. It is quite evident that he will make as honorable a record in the Senate as he made in his state, and as he made in the late war of the Rebellion. The state of Missouri could not have selected a more brilliant and fearless representative. He is not only an honor to his state, but to the nation at large. The Bee gives the following brief history of the man who represents one of the most productive states in the Union: William Warner, Republican member of Congress, of Missouri, was born in Lafayette county, Wisconsin; educated in common schools; enlisted in 33d Wisconsin; mustered out at close of the war with rank of major in the 44th Wisconsin; elected commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic in 1888. He located in Kansas City, Mo., in 1865, and has been engaged there ever since in the practice of the law. He was elected city attorney in 1867, circuit attorney in 1868, to Congress in 1884 and re-elected in 1886. In 1892 he was the Republican candidate for governor; appointed United States District Attorney for the western district of Missouri in 1870, 1882, 1898 and 1902; chairman of Republican state committee in 1884-5; delegate to National Republican Convention in 1872, 1884, 1888, 1892 and 1896. He was recipient of degree of LLD, from the University of Michigan in 1905. March 18th, 1905, he was elected to the United States Senate to succeed Francis Marion Cockrell and took his seat Dec. 4th, 1905. His term will expire March 4th, 1911. THE SECOND BAPTIST LYCEUM. The Truthfulness of the Bible. The Truthfulness of the Bible. Dr. Kenyon V. Millard, of Indiana, the noted investigator, lecturer and archaeologist, addressed the Lyeum of the Second Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, December 17th, taking for his subject: "The Witnesses Found in Egypt, to the Truthfulness of the Bible." President Jno. P. Green, in a neat and fitting speech, introduced the speaker. Dr. Kenyon's address was not only pleasant variation from the monotonous and hackneyed subject of the race problem, but proved highly entertaining and instructive. Dr. Kenyon's audience was not large, but attentive and interested. He said that he was converted under the late evangelist, Dr. Moody, and though he believed he was advised by Mr. Moody to apply himself to the study of the scriptures, and enter the field of investigation and verify for himself, as he had done, the indisputable evidence of the inspiration of the scriptures. These evidences, or witnesses, as he termed them, he found in the language that the people used, which he found cut into the rocks, the custom of the people, and the archaeological remains or ruins, which he found in abundance in Egypt and along the Nile Dr. Kenyon exhibited views of points of interests on the river Nile. He also showed pictures of structures of historical and biblical references which, though in ruins, are in excellent preservation, considering their age. The writing of the first book given to Christianity, he said, was in Africa; and, in Africa alone, there is more evidence to prove the Bible true than is found in all the rest of the world beside! The apostle Luke was a doctor by profession, and practiced medicine in Alexandria, Egypt. Dr. Kenyon visited the church which Mark built. The building is in ruins, but portions of its massive walls are still standing. He also visited the spot where Moses was hidden in the bulrushes. Those bulrushes still grow along the banks of the Nile Moses, the lawgiver and leader, was born more than 300 years after his people moved to Egypt. He married an Ethiopian. The customs and dress of the Egyptians remain much the same as in the apostolic days. Their religion is Mohammedan, which believes in a plurality of wives. These wives are purchased at prices ranging from $40 to $65 apiece, according to quality and pedigree, and are the most patient women in the world, as they never scold their husbands. There are about twenty millions more Mohammedans in this world than Christians; these comprise men and boys as women are not taken into the church. He dwelt upon the cruelty and abuse of the Egyptian husbands, and urged upon his hearers the importance of christianizing influence for that benighted land. Those participating in the after discussion were Rev. S. L. Corrothers and Prof. Jesse Lawson. Efforts are being made to secure the services of a prominent member of the American Negro Academy, now in session in this city, for next Sunday afternoon. The public is cordially invited to attend. We are too far away from the scene of conflict to say who is responsible for the recent disorders at Howard University. We are of the opinion, however, that it was bad policy of the dissatisfied parties to incite the students to riot. The men who were displeased should have been manly enough to come out in the open and make the fight themselves. The students have a future to make, and their participation in the riot will forever handicap them. They are in a peculiarly dependent position, and have much to lose. We are of the opinion also that as they grow older they will see how foolish it is to lose their good standing by fighting the battles of those who are or should be well prepared to fight for themselves. Moreover those who incited this revolt should be uncovered so with united voice we could brand them cowards. There is a great deal of disappointment in the camp of Booker Washington in this city. They have failed to receive what they expected. The heart and soul of one of the Bookerites was set on the office of recorder of deeds. Booker is now in favor of recorder Dancy, that is, he told Dancy so. Mr. Harry Cummins' friends say that he will be appointed and in that event a deputy from Baltimore city will succeed Chief Dulton. It was Dulton who suggested placing the office in the classified service. It did not ignite with Recorder Dancy. New Jersey republicans will hardly be recognized. Theer are two factions in the state. The Pennsylvania colored republicans are not at all considered, although Booker Washington has made several promises to land a few of his faithful allies. Unless a man is the pupil and follower of Prof. Washington there is no hope for him. He was in town last week and stopped with his first love, McKinley. Mac is not looking well. He seems to be disappointed. Ex-Governor Pinchback thought that he would have landed long ago. Recorder Dancy is the only Bookerite who wears a broad smile. Daney is foxy and knows what please. Booker. There is a report prevalent that Prof. Vernon, of Kansas, the candidate of Mr. Washington to succeed Register Lyons must answer charges. If these charges are sustained, Long Williams, of Chicago, a Bookerite, will in all probability be appointed. But, the county wants Lyons to remain. There is not a single colored republican in the United States who favors the removal of Register Lyons. Mr. Lyons has been a faithful party worker and has rendered more solid work for the party than any other colored representative in the United States. He is the only representative on the national republican committee. Mr. Lyons may not be aggressive as some others, but he has at all times beved the party's call. Mr. Lyons does not wear the yoke of the Wizard. He has been silent on his virtues. The register has been a little coquettish with the Wizard, which did not please him. The Wizard doesn't favor flirtation. He likes broad smiles and loud sentimentality. Prof. Vernon is not certain, there may be a slip before many days. WASHINGTON †mang The Odd-Fellows Among the members of the Order who have died recently are P. N. F. Jackson S. White, of Traveling Pilgrims Lodge No. 2358, and P. N. F.

Failed to Bring His Wife to Indianapolis on a Recent Visit for Fear of Criticism by Own People. (From the Indianapolis Sun.) Local colored society has been shocked by what seems to be a verification of the rumor that was current for some months to the effect that Dr. Harry W. Furniss, of Indianapolis, lately promoted by President Roosevelt from the position of consul to Bahai to the post of minister to Hayti is married to a white girl. The marriage, coming so soon after Dr. Furniss' promotion in the foreign service, is being widely discussed among negroes, and it is said he is being condemned for turning his back on his own people in his choice of a wife and in marrying a girl who was not shocked by the idea of race amalgamation. The announcement of the marriage was made to Indianapolis friends after a visit to Indianapolis about a month ago, when Dr. Furniss was entertained royally by the members of his race. With the announcement was no infor- M. mation as to who the wife was. Relatives Denied Rumor About a year ago the story became current that Dr. Furniss had married a white woman, but the rumor was denied by relatives in a position to know the facts. The rumor seemed so well authenticated, however, that it did not die. Indianapolis negroes did not forget about the story, and when Furniss was promoted by the president, even over the protests of prominent white politicians, the old report was again given life. Dr. Furniss at the time of his promotion visited the United States, and it is said was greeted warmly by President Roosevelt and complimented on his work as consul to Bahia. He lived in princely fashion at Washington for several days, the story goes, and then came to Indianapolis. His wife, however, was not with him. It is said efforts were made in Washington to find out something about the white wife. In George L. Knox's paper, the Freeman, in Thompson's weekly review, special correspondence to the paper, the writer spoke of the marriage of Dr. Furniss to the white woman, who, he says, is a woman of rare culture, great beauty and high social accomplishments. The writer even went so faar as to say that it was the culmination of a romance as sweet as the courtship of the president's daughter and the congressman from Cincinnati. What Freeman Says. The story in the Freeman was as follows: "It develops that your correspondent was not astray as some persons imagined when he gave publicity more than a year ago to the rumor that Dr. Harry W. Furniss, the then counsel to Bahia, was to take unto himself a wife. The event happened but the facts did not leak out until the return of the fortunate groom to this country this month, to accept his new post as minister to Hayti. Little is known of the bride, as she was on a visit to friends in Europe at the time Dr. Furniss' appointment was made, and the necessity for him to report at once at his post rendered it inexpedient for her to undertake the long journey to America in the brief time allowed. Madam Furniss is said to be a Spanish lady, of rare culture, great beauty and high social station. Those in possession of the particulars of the marriage say the alliance is the outcome of a romance breathing the atmosphere of Castillian days, and as interesting and noteworthy for its idyllic character as the courtship of Miss Alice Rosevelt and Nicholas Longworth. We may be able to speak of it at length by and by." Fear of the Results. Indianapolis negroes, who have no ambition to see the amalgamation of the races, say there was one other reason why Dr. Furniss did not bring his wife along to America when he was promoted by President Roosevelt and when he made his recent to his parents. That reason is that it would create such a furore not only among the whites but also among the colored people that it would jeopardize his chances for the promotion. The south, it is argued, would have risen in a body to object to the elevation of Dr. Furniss, and such a promotion would have overthrown all the admiration that the president won on his recent visit to that section. It is also said that the story of the Castillian romance is all fiction and that the wife is a German. Dr. W. H. Furniss, superintendent of special delivery service in the Indianapolis postoffice, father of Dr. Furniss, said that he knew nothing about the marriage. He said his son told him on his recent visit to Indianapolis that he was married, but did not tell him much about the bride. The son told the father that he would bring the wife to Indianapolis as soon as he could arrange it. The elder Furniss said that he did not know absolutely that the son's wife is a white woman. He said, however, while he did not believe in the intermarriage of the races, he did not condemn those who did believe in it; that if a colored man chose to marry a white woman is was nobody's business but that of the parties involved. Indianapolis negroes predict a stormy is white. They cite the case of Frederick Douglas, who was minister to Hayti, and who was also married to a white woman. The Haytians objected to the alliance so much that Douglas had to be retired as minister. A DENIAL FROM PROF. GREGQRY. Manual Training and Industrial School, Bordentown, N. J., December 26, 1905. W. Calvin Chase, Esq., 1109 I street, N. W., Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Chase: Your letter of December 24th inquiring if there is any truth in the charge that I drew the color line at the wedding of my daughter, has been received. Hitherto I have entirely ignored the report, since those of responsibility who live in this vicinity know that there was no foundation for the report and that the information was maliciously furnished to the papers by persons unfriendly to me or the school. Since, however, you are a friend of mine, I will state that there were present at the wedding both white and colored guests of prominence, but I deny that I authorized any separation according to color, or that there was any such discrimination. I thank you for your further proof of friendship in writing me in regard to this matter. Very sincerely yours, James M. Gregory. DR WARFIELD SPEAKS. BR WARHIELD SPEAKS. Washington C., Jan. 3, 1906. Editor of, *The Editor of the Bee: I notice in the Bee of last week a statement to the effect that Dr. Warfield, against the advice of friends, filed a bill asking the court to appoint a receiver in the matter of the Capital Savings Bank. And further, that this was a bad move because arrangements had been made by certain officers and directors to pay dollar for dollar to the depositors. Without discussing the wisdom of my action in asking the court to appoint receivers, I want to refute the statement, that arrangements had been made by certain officers and directors to pay dollar for dollar. There is absolutely no truth in that statement, and if there is any one who can disprove what I say, be he an officer, director, depositor or any other person, let him speak. Very truly, W. A. Warfield, M. D. 69862 MEDIUM WS BY MISS BEATRIZ L. CHASE Manning C. Palmer, who was charged with misappropriating funds of the American Exchange National Bank, of Syracuse, N.

C. CURIOUS LEGRI. POINT. Shall Cremated Corpse Pay Same Rate for Carriage as Body in Coiffn? Paris.—A curious case now before a French tribunal invokes a point which has not yet come up for legal settlement. A certain, New York doctor, whose name thus far is withheld, recently accompanied a wealthy western American to Italy, where his patient after a lingering illness died. In order to avoid the trouble and formalities of carrying the body to the United States in a coffin the doctor on his authority had the corpse cremated. The ashes were placed in a small urn, which was then packed carefully and shipped as ordinary freight on which he paid the usual tariff according to weight. The doctor landed on the American side all right, but the steamship company discovered his secret and demanded the price of carrying a dead body in a coffin, which amounts to nearly $150 more than the doctor paid for the urn's transportation. This he refused and the case must be decided at Paris, since it was at a French port that the urn was shipped. The impression here is that the company will lose the case. TO DUPLICATE EVERY GUN. Precaution That Is Deemed Necess sary by the Naval General Washington.—Every gun in the navy have its duplicate to guard against any emergency and accident, if the recommendation of the naval chief of ordnance is carried out. The naval general board, it is believed, thoroughly approves of it, and consequently the naval estimates to go before the next congress may contain a formidable item to cover the cost of producing the new guns. Such accidents as have happened in recent years, particularly to the big turret guns of the battleships, would compel the ship to go into action in disabled condition or be laid up for months in a navy yard. The idea is to keep spare guns in stock at convenient points to immediately replace the damaged ones. Growth of Lings Out West A correspondent of the Cherotah (L. T.) Times, and for whose veracity that paper vouches, tells the following: "The terrible news comes from the western part of the Cherokee Nation that a boy climbed a cornstalk to see how the corn was getting along, and now the corn is growing up faster than the boy can climb down. The boy is clear out of sight. Three men have undertaken to cut the stalk down with axes and save the boy from starvation, but it grows so fast that they can't back twice in the same place. The boy is living on nothing but raw corn and already has thrown down over four bushels of cobs." Decorated Chef. King Edward's chef. M. Menager, was among those to receive birthday honor on the occasion of his majesty's recent birthday. He is believed to be among the most accomplished chefs in the world. He was decorated with the Victorian medal. Other recipients of that distinction are understood to feel that in conferring the medal on a cook King Edward has rather cheapened the honors.

HOME FOR PAPAL DELEGATE New Residence to Be Erected in Washington for Use of American Representative of Pope. Washington. At a meeting of the Catholic university the other day a committee, consisting of Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Farley, of New York, and Archbishop Ryl, of Philadelphia, adopted plans for the new residence to be erected in this city for the use of the delegate to the Catholic church in this country. The present residence, which was bought about ten PROPOSED RESIDENT: LOR APOS- TOLIC DELEGATE: WASHING- TON years ago, has been found not to be suitable for the purpose and so the new structure is to be put up as soon as the work can be done. The new structure is designed in the style of the French renaissance. It will be built of stone and will be entirely fireproof. It will have a frontage of 63 feet and a depth of 99 feet, and will be three stories in height, with a basement. On the first floor will be a large reception hall, two large drawing rooms, dining-room, billiard room, offices, kitchen, etc. There will be a marble staircase leading to the second floor, which will contain a chapel 48x21 feet and two stories in height. There will be six large rooms and two baths on this floor. The third floor will contain seven rooms and two baths. In the rear portion of the building will be the quarters for the servants, which will have a seprate stairway. The entire first floor will be treated in a highly decorative manner. BATTLE MARKER UNVEILED. Vincennes, Ind.—With impressive ceremonies and before 2:00 p.m. spectators, the Fort Sackville Chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution the other day unveiled a marker in this city on the site of Fort Sackville, the scene of the battle between the Americans under SITE OF FORT SACKVILLE CAPTURED BY COL GEO ROGERS CLARA FROM THE BRITISH FEB 25. 1779 RESULTING IN THE U.S. ACQUIRING THE GREAT NORTHWEST TERRITORY EMBRACING THE STATES OF INDIANA, OHIO, ILLINOIS MICHIGAN WISCONSIN AND MINNESOTA THE BATTLE MARKER (Unveiled on Site of Fort Sackville at Vincennes, Ind.) George Rogers Clark, and the British garrison. The marker is a stone pillar, presented to the Daughters of the Revolution by Robert Reed, of Bedford. It stands six feet high and bears a bronze plate inscribed: "Captured by Col. George Rogers Clark, from the British, February 25, 1779, resulting in the United States acquiring the great Northwest Territory, embracing the States of Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota." Mrs. R. G. Moore. Miss Mary Love, Mrs. Samuel B. Judah and Mrs. Frederick W. Calverley, all of this city, composing the Fort Saackville chapter, presented the marker to the city. Ancient Wines. "The tombs of Ben Hassam," said an antiquary, "are interesting on account of their realistic paintings. In these tombs, which are 5,000 years old, are many pictures of drankards. Drunken men, waving wine cups in both hands, are being carried home by sneering slaves. Drunken women lurch through the streets, followed by little mocking children. All this, mind you, 5,000 years ago. Alexander the Great used to hold drinking contests. He who could drink and carry off the most wine won. Promachus, the skilled Promachus, won a g'd cup from Alexander by drinking 14 quarts of wine. Fourteen quarts! The Romans used to serve at their banquets wines 80 and 100 years old. They would mix with these wines turpentine, resin and sea water. Thus they thought, a fine flavor was gotten. I once tasted a wine 200 years old. It was so thick we had to dig it out with a spoon. Its flavor was so horrible that turpentine, resin and sea water would, no doubt, have improved it." The library of the late Rev. Charles Th. Spurgeon is to come to this country. It has been purchased for the William Jewell college. of Liberty Mo., a Baptist institution. The collection is very rich in literature relating to the authors. NEW BRITISH LEADER. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, Head of Liberal Party, Honored by King with Premiership. London.—With the downfall of the conservatives and the resignation of the Balfour cabinet the task of forming a new cabinet was intrusted by the king to Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, leader of the liberals in the house of commons. He has accepted the post of premier in the new body. "G.B." has been leader of the opposition since 1899, when Lord Rosebery C. SIRHENRYCAMPBELL-BANNIERMAN (Premier of Great Britain Who Has ceeded Balfour) SIRHENRYCAMPBELL-BANNIERMAN (Premier of Great Britain Who Has ceeded Balfour) resigned the position. He disguised himself by his fight on the government's South African polio and by his opposition to the war with the Boers. He is 69 years old was born in Scotland, and has been a member of the house of commons uninterruptedly since 1868. He was financial secretary from 1871 to 1874, and from 1880 to 1882. From 1882 until his party went out in 1885 he was Irish secretary. In 1886, when Gladstone returned to office Sir Henry was made secretary of war. With Gladstone was defeated on the home rule bill Sir Henry went with the rost. He returned to war office under Lord Rosebery 1892, and remained until the defeat the liberals, in 1895. He was knighted in 1895. He is a Scotchman, the son of a Glasgow draper, who made an enormous fortune, and a statesman who learned the trade as a pupil for 10 years under Gladstone. It is prediced that Sir Henry will have a hard row to hoe when he undertakes to head a liberal government as he will not be able to command the support of the anti-home rule wing of his party. OMAR KHAYYAM'S TOMB. Resting Place of Famous Astronomer Poet of Persia in Province of Khorassan. London.—The photograph of Omar Khayyam's tomb at Naishapur from which the accompanying drawing was made, was supplied by a member of his majesty's mission in Persia, who recently traveled, through Khorasan, the northwestern province of Persia of which Meshed is the capital. The great astronomer-poet of Persia familiarized to us by Edward Fergald's well-known Rubavat to have predicted that his tomb would be "in a spot where the north may scatter roses over it," and did OMAR KHAFFAM S TOM! (Situated Just Outside a Garh shapur, Persia) belot wrote: "Years after, when I chanced to visit Nashapur I went to his final resting place and let it just outside a garden and the laden with fruit stretched their hous over the garden well and draped their flowers over his emb We fear, however that a sight Omar is in saintly company the in a wing of which the poet is bred having been erected over the town some saluted descendant Prophet Mohammed, no less a cs can at present fall upon his gray Freedom Not Desired. "In Zanzibar and Pemba slaves are very slow to take advantage of the regulations that give them the right to claim their freedom." says a navier. "They realize that so long as they are well used their position is superior that of the man whose freedom is the sole asset. I have found the same attitude in North Africa. From Morocco to Tripoli one sees most of the slaves well content and flourishing. The famine, the locuets, the drought and the tax collector have no terror for them; work keeps them healthy, they have enough to eat and drink and the future has no meaning at all. There is promotion; there are confidential missions to governors and friends that elevate a slave, if only in the eyes of his fellows, and there is always a chance of manumission when the owner dies and wishes to have some good deeds recorded in the books of Islam's recording angels. The sorry truth of the matter is that slaves under Mohammedan rule are much better off than they ever were under the rule of white men—in America and elsewhere." . ob : “Ae DEL. rusuisueD at 109 Eve St, N.

FAIRFIELD. ‘The Board of Trustees of Howard University has accepted’ the resigna- tion of Dr. John Gordon and desig- nated Prof. Fairfield to act as presi- dent. Prof. Fairfield is high-spirited and honorable. He possesses the same ideas that Dr. Gordon possesses: Prof. ‘Fairficld believes that the university is in need of a reorganization. He believes that the university is in need of teachers who will teach and earn their salary. Prof. Fairfield has been at the university for a, number of years and he has won the respect and confidence of the people. The board of trustees will name a new president at the proper time, but it is quite evi- dent that a reformation will take place at the university before the new president is inducted into office. No president, no matter who he may be, will succeed at Howard University if the students and a few disgruntled teachers are permitted to run the in- stitution. There are some people who are jubilant over the retirement of Dr. Gordon. These people will be convinced in a few days thar Dr. Gor- don is not the man that he has been painted by his enemies, - . Our estecmed contemporary, the Daily Post, in an editorial a few days ago, advocated the ‘appointment, of a colored president, colored teachers and everything else colored. There are some educated people amiong the colored population who believe that the- Post means what it says in this direction. The Post means nothing more than ridicule. If the Post will read the charter of that institution it will sing a different song. Our edu: cational colored men and women ought not to conclude that the Post means all it says at any time. Col. ered people who can not get along with those who help them, will cer- tainly disagree among themselves. A certain colored ritember of the "faculty remarked that Dr. Gordon could have succeeded at Howard Uui- versity if he had declared in loud tones for the negro. He should have spoken of the negro oftener. He fur- ther remarked that the principal of the Hampton Institute succeeded, al- though he ‘doesn’t know very much. _ It is because he declares for the ne- gro. Those are the remarks of so- called cultured and educated negro teachers at Howard University. Such remarks from an uneducated person are excusable, but coming as they do from the educated, it is surprising as well as ridiculous. What the colored man wants now are friends, He is in need of them. REFORM aT HOWARD UNI. VERSITY. . The case at Howard University has never been presented to the public on its merits. It has been charged against Dr. Gordon that jhe is inocu. lated with color prejudice; that he is incompetent, and that he desires to industrialize Howard University. On this last issue The Bee in conjunction with The Guardian opposed Dr. Gor- don, and by action of the trustees the industrial department was abolished, and instead a course in manual train- ing(an altogether different thing from industrial training) was established and made part of the teachers’ col- lege. At the time of Dr. Gordon's in crimination in the treatment of Pre auguration as president of the un ident Crogman of Clark University Atlanta, Ga. and in the seating ot the audience at the First Congrega ‘tional Church, where the inavgura! exercises were held. But no one heard a syllable.of complaint from Prof. L. B, Moore, Prof. Geo, W. Cook, ar W. A. Sinclair. As The Guardian states it, Sinclair was “optimistic,” and Moore and Cook were “optimis- tic.” Sinclair ceased to be “optimis- tic’ the moment his salary as financial agent was stopped; Moore ceased to be “optimistic” when he was told he could not serve two masters, be pas- tor of a church and dean of a depart- ment in the University at one and the same time; and Cook ceased to be “optimistic” when his position as dean of the commercial department was in jeopardy. As a matter of fact the only interest there three gentlemen had in Howard University was their salaries. Howard nught have become industrialized, Gordon might have been incompetent, and he might have been filled with race prejudice, but it would have made no difference with them so long as they were secure in their respective positions, “The proof of these assertions is to be found in the fact that rot one of them mur- wured until he was personally in- volved. Leaving, aside the questions settled by the acceptance of Dr, Gordon's resignation, no rational person can deny that there is merit in the recom- mendation that those who teach in the university shall do that to the ev- clusion of all other callings, and that those who deliver lectures in addition to teaching a subject, shall first ob- tain leave of absence. These two Tecommendations are right and ought [to be adopted, LOTS TO DO. There is a great deal to do in this city among the colored people. The condition ‘of the poorer classe? de- mands that the well-to-do colored peo- ple help to improve the condition ot those in oppressed “circumstances. Colored men in business are doing a great deal to demonstrate their bus- iness qualifications. . “The outlook is encouraging, It is indeed gratifying to sce so many business enterprises spring up. What we mostly need now are shoe stores, dress goods and mil- linery esédblishments. We had a first- class shoe store some time ago but it died for want of support. There is a way to get rid of everything in the nature ot a “Jim Crow.” ‘There is no need of colored people patronizing places that do not’ appreciate their trade. “There are thopsands of white people in this city who are friendly to the colored people and are doing all they can to assist them” Let-us con- tinue to do antl help cach other, * A GREAT OFFER.

Tt is the people’s defender and-it keep: Q correct record: of events, The investigating committee at Howard University has not as yet concluded its work. Tt is an aphorism too true that “He vho laughs last laughs best.” ‘The Yoward University gentlemen should wait. > The gentleman who sent Professor Fairfield a letter of congratulation and received no answer, is marked for slaughter.

Saturday night a pumber of friends sand members of the Metropolitan A. ‘M. EL Chureh tendered Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Scott a generous surprise. A min- sterial suit for Dr. Scott, tea-gown, wrapper, bed-spread, etc, for Mrs. Scott; clothing, toys of every descrip- tion for the little ones, a handsomely decorated Christmas tree, baskets of provisions and everything to make the season a happy reminder of the many friends of Dr. and Mrs. Scott. The presentation address was made by Mrs. Cornelia Wilkinson, who spoke feelingly of the deep appreciation of the labors of the pastor, of the unpre- cedented success of the church during his pastorage, both financially and spirit- ually. ‘, Dr. Scott stands for progress and the highest Christian standard. He is a man of intellectual strength, a leading pulpit orator and a man who not only loves hisrace, but stands ever ready to defend its, interests. The surprise was in charge of Mrs. Amanda Bailey, Mrs. Mary Talbrett nad Mrs. Wilkinson. "The Christmas tree decorations were looked after by several young people, led by Miss Marie Morgan. After spending a most delightful hour the friends exchanged Christmas greet- ings and parted to meet again at the § o'clock praise service Christmas morn- ing. * * ‘The lecture room was comfortably filled at this service. The song service of Sunday night was the best ever heard in the church, Madam Priolean was casily the star. Her rich sweet tones and her wonder- ful control of the sustained notes cap- tured the audience. During the week Bishops Gaines, Lee and Grant were the guests of Rev. Scott at’ the parsonage, 1444 S street Northwest. HISTORIC PAINTING FOUND. Supposed Long-Lost “Last Supper” Is Located in New York in Deposit Vault.

Has Been in Public Life Ten Years More—Story of How He Lost Presidential Nomination Through Washington.—With the opening of the Fifty-ninth congress the other day Senator Allison entered upon his thirty-third year in the senate, and his forty-third year in congress. He has not only served a few days longer in the senate than any other man, but has been in continuous public life longer than any other except the late Justin S. Morrill, of Vermont. Mr. Morrill served 12 years in the house of representatives—from 1855 to 1867—and 32 years in the senate—from 1867 to 1899. He died in January of that year. If he had lived until March 3 he would have completed his forty-third year of consecutive service. Mr. Allison entered the house of representatives December 2. 1863. He was sworn in as a senator March 4, 1873, and has been reelected five times. His present, and sixth, term expires March 4. 1909 and if he lives to that date he will be 60 years and ne day old, having been born March 4. 1829. And he will have served 36 consecutive years in the senate and 46 consecutive years in the congress of the United States. Twenty years ago men used to assure to succeed Allison. They have earned better since. Nobody thinks of such a thing now. Men are satis- SENATOR WM B. ALLISON. The Iowa Statesman Has Begun Forty- Third Year of Public Service.) SENATOR WM B. ALLISON. The Iowa Statesman Has Begun Forty- Third Year of Public Service.) Ted to hope that they may live as long as he will. The senior senator is the object of something like reverence all over Iowa. Although he is not a "mixer." everybody in the state knows him be- cause he has been as fixed as the pole star. Senator Allison has taken an active and leading part in all the financial legislation from the act of resumption of specie payments down to date. He has twice had the support of Iowa's delegation for the presidential nomination of the republican party, and once came so close to the nomination that Senator Hoar, writing of that convention years afterward, said that he doubted if any man ever came to near the presidency and missed it. that referred to the convention of 1888, which nominated Harrison. Senator Hoar's story was that Chauncey M. Depew was responsible for putting Millson out of the running. New York had proposed Depew, and the middle western group, including Iowa, had protested with upraised hands against naming the president of a great railroad system. That protest made Deew impossible. Later in the convention, when the eastern interests, one by one, had settled down to Allison is the "good western man" on whom all should unite, Depew burst into the conference, which was fast setting the details, with an answering protest. "If a New York railroad resident is too strong for those Iowaans, then New York must refuse to accept an Iowa candidate," was Deew's ultimatum. And he was not to be moved. The pins had to be set up again, and next time the nomination went to Harrison. Allison was not in any way to blame for the Iowa protest against Depew. Senator Allison has never considered any other position seriously except the presidency since he entered the senate. He has been tendered billet positions in a majority of the imministrations and has refused them. The senator possesses a very odest fortune. His home is in Duquesne, and he owns houses there and in Washington. He has been a widower for many years. Year by year the annual appearance of the senator before the official gathering of Iowa republicanism at the state convention becomes a more distinctive occasion. The ovation is each year longer and more enthusiastic and more ardent than it was the year before, and every time the modest, benevolent looking old gentleman appears more embarrassed than at the preceding convention. Each year he responds to the calls with a few remarks about the glories of Iowa and of the party and the current tariff—whichever one it may chance to be—and Iowa feels prouder than ever of her fine old senatorial leader. The Japanese cigarette has made its appearance in London. It consists of half an inch of broad strips of chocolate-colored tobacco, to which is attached a cardboard tube an inch long.

Wis.—Hunting rattlesnakes for their skins has furnished a new and hazardous occupation for many men who reside among the hills and rocky bluffs of the Upper Missouri valley, where the rattler attains perfection as to size and color. The snake must be taken alive and decapitated before he has an opportunity to strike himself, for once the deadly poison is injected the skin loses luster and value. The price paid for perfect tanned skins is about one dollar each, and in addition the oil obtained from the snake commands a high price from its supposed value as a cure for rheumatism and kindred diseases. Each rattler captured alive means about $1.50 to the hunter. Among the most successful hunters is Alfred Johnson, of this place, who possesses many large and beautiful skins. His latest capture was nearly seven feet long and carried 19 rattles. Mr. Johnson has succeeded in domesticating a large number of young rattlers, which allow him to handle them as he will, and follow at his call like well-trained puppies. Short Period of Insanity Intervenes Between Alleged Cruelty and Wife's Plaintiff. Carlinville, Ill.—A peculiar suit for divorce has been filed in this county, involving the construction of the law which prohibits the granting of a legal separation because of insanity. So far aa is known, no similar proceeding has ever been filed in Illinois. Mrs. Georgia Klitzmiller, wife of Former Representative James V. Klitzmiller, is the complainant. Cruelty is the charge, and the acts complained of date back 13 and 14 years. They consist for the most part of threats. In 1903 Kitzmiller was adjudged insane, and sent to the hospital at Jacksonville. He has spent much time there, and it is understood that he has quite recovered his reason. Recently he returned to the home of his father in Girard, where he is now living. Whether the acts of cruelty complained of, and which occurred so many years ago, can be set up as proper grounds for divorce in a case where a period of mental irresponsibility has Intervened, is the important question to decide. Merciful Death Engine The new bullet now served to the French army is in massive bronze pointed like a lead pencil, and shaped like a small cigar. It pierces at a distance of 400 meters six four-inch caken boards placed four inches apart, and is capable in the same flight of burying itself a yard deep in a clay target. It is counted the most humanitarian engine of death yet on the market because its speed and force in entering its man makes a clean wound, without microbial complications from bits of clothing and without indigestion smashing of veins and organs. CASTELLANES PREPARING RECEPTION FOR CARLOS. They Will Spend Entire Year's Income in One Day—Gossip of French Count and His American Wife. Paris.—Count and Countess Bonl De Castellane are preparing a splurge which will cost them a whole year's income and keep them in retirement in the country for at least 12 months. The king of Portugal is to be their guest at a fete at their city house, which will be the grandest thing that has been given in Paris for many a year. More than 1,000 invitations have been issued, and it is not likely that any will be declined. The Castellanes are the heroes of the smart set, for they alone of the French aristocracy secured the glory of twice entertaining Carlos of Portugal. After the reception, which is to be a splendid fete in itself, there is to be a comedy and a sort of dignified variety performance and supper on A. COUNT BONI DE CASTELLANE. (Who Will Spend $200,000 to Entertain Portuguese King.) a Sardanapalian plan, followed by a ball. People professing to be in the secrets of the Castellane menage say they have sent prudence to the winds and are spending on this fete and its incidentals, including a queenly robe for the countess, a whole year's allowance, and unless they can persuade the trustees of the Gould estate to exceptional lenency, will have to explain this excess by a long period of retirement at their country home. Since 1901 Countess Boni De Castellane's income has been only $200,000 a year, Justice Beach, of New York, having signed a mandamus forbidding George J. Gould as trustee of the Gould estate to pay any more to her until the few millions of debts which she and her husband accrued should have been paid. Her income from the share of the Gould estate is $600,000 a year, and the remainder of this is being paid to the creditors. George Gould was also appointed her trustee by a Paris court. The trustees are especially odious to them, in view of this great day, for the niggardly allowance has forced the Castellanes to leave their main salon absolutely made of furniture and decoration, except for the magnificently painted ceiling, and they depend on their guests to furnish it for them by mere numbers strolling about it, as at the theater foyer It is still a joke in Paris that the only part of the house completely furnished is Count Boni's bath, a luxurious marble swimming tank, which is always shown to guests. Boni manipulating the tape with schoolboy pride. "All that now remains," said a sarcastic guest one day. "is that you get Mary COUNTESS DE CASTELLANE. In yourself to show us what you can do." Visitors who are admitted to the countess' private apartments, up the curious twisting staircases, say the same singular spirit of display is shown there; the countess has her boudoir lined with glass show cases in which are arranged, as in a shop, all her wedding presents, fans, silver, jewels, lace, pictures, bronzes and lingerie. Everyone is pitying the little countess in anticipation of the reception to the king. for she is notoriously unhappy on these great occasions, so nervous as to be utterly unable to do more than give a sickly smile and murmur unintelligible phases intended to express a welcome Count Boul, on the contrary, is gay as a schoolboy, his pink cheeks flushed with excitement, hopping around with a happy smile and fitting word for everyone. "He is such a charming hostess," they say of him. In fact, he is a great favorite, even with those that laugh at him. Admiral Dewey Says Men on American Battleships Excel Those of Any Other Nation. Chicago.—"I believe we have as good a navy as any nation in the world. Our ships are as good as the best, our officers are the peers of those of any country that files a flag, and our enlisted men are absolutely the best in the world." These words from the lips of Admiral George Dewey were the signal for a remarkable demonstration at the Merchants' club banquet here the other evening. Admiral Dewey spoke impromptu. His address was entirely unexpected. "My admiration of the American seaman—the man who stands behind the gun—is so great that I firmly believe, if all of the officers on an American ship were killed in action, the sailors could take command of the ship and fight her to victory," continued the white-halred hero. Again prolonged cheering interrupted Admiral Dewey. Almiral Dewey then expressed the hope that the new training school which is being established near Chicago would be successful in drawing recruits to the navy. "It's the young men from the great middle west who make the best sailors. They are the men who learn to manipulate the delicate machinery of a man-of-war. It isn't necessary any longer that the fighting sailors of our navy should have pedigrees as seafaring men. It is men with good mechanical ideas, good educations and good habits that are depended upon to keep up the present standard of the navy. I didn't come here to make a speech—in fact, this is the longest speech I ever made in my life," said the hero of Manila as he resumed his seat. ANCIENT COMMUNION CUP. First Used in Baptist Church of Avon, Mass., in 1785 and Recently Brought to Light. Boston.—An article of historic interest is the first communion cup used by the Avon (Mass.) Baptist society, which recently celebrated its one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary. The cup is now in the custody of Deacon W. Elmer Crane. of Avon. It is of pewter, and holds about half a pint. Originally there were two cups presented to the society, but there is no record of the present location of the companion cup. The society was organized in 1784, and for some time previous to the build- ```markdown ``` ing of a church services were held at various places. The first communion was administered on the first Sunday in March, 1785, when this cup was used. Upon the discontinuance of the early form of service the cup came into the possession of Deacon Charles Packard, who some time previous to his death, many years ago, presented it to Marcus M. Porter, now a resident of Stoughton, who at that time lived in Avon, and was a deacon in the Baptist church. Few persons knew of the existence of the cup until a few weeks ago, when, at the celebration of the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the soelety, Mr. Porter presented the cup to the society. There is no inscription on the cup, but the officials of the society intend to have one engraved on it. Aged Telegraph Operator. Ziba Nickerson, of Chatham, Mass., who has just turned his eighty-second year, probably is the oldest working telegraph operator in the world. Just 50 years ago a telegraph office was established in his store and Mr. Nickerson has been at the key daily ever since. He is an expert operator, and even now a 3,000-word press dispatch does not worry him. A year ago, when sending an account of a shipwreck off Chatham, the old man's wife, died. He was relieved by his son at the key and the press dispatch suffered only a moment's interruption. Skeados & Skeados New York Candy Kitchen M DERTAKER AND EM BALMER. 1715 14th St., N.

Knowledge of Geology Brings Wealth to Plucky Girl with Valuable Idea. St. Paul, Minn.—Knowledge of geology, combined with pluck and enter, prise, has brought wealth to a Minne-sota school-teacher. Time out of mind, up to two years ago, there has lain next to the village of Mentonne, in the central part of the state, a marsh containing a square mile of land and so surrounded by elevated plains for several miles that it would cost thousands of dollars to drain it. It coincides almost exactly with the section lines of a section of land, and for 30 years or more belonged to an estate, the heirs of which live in Maline. They did not value it highly enough to pay the taxes on it, and as no one would buy it in for the delinquent taxes, the title never passed from them, except to the extent of the state's lien thereon. Miss Gwendoline Murphy, a pretty teacher, who has made a special study of geology, geography, mining and allied sciences, astonished her friends two years ago by using an inheritance of $1,000 in the purchase of the square mile of marsh and in clearing up all the taxes on it. Then, as soon as winter weather had frozen the marsh solid, she began digging a well, six feet in diameter and 107 feet deep, through the strata of solid yellow clay and blue clay, underlying the marsh, to a stratum of sand and coarse gravel which her nature studies had led her to hope to find about that distance below the surface. The top of the well was then surrounded by a porous wall that would permit the water from the marsh to flow through, but would exclude mud and refuse. When spring opened the entire marsh was drained dry, the water that had flooded it and had been supplied by perennial springs on the edges being conducted through channels to the top of the well. SUNSHINE A CANCER CURE Frankfort. • Ky.-Dr. Kirschberg, whose cure of cancer by sunlight has attracted attention, explains the cure as follows: "Last winter I discovered that I was suffering from a skin cancer of the ear and consulted noted experts on the necessity of an operation. Before going under the knife I concluded to gather strength on a little vacation and went to Lake Geneva. There I promenaded daily for a good many hours, persistently turning my ear toward the southern sun. After a week or so I noticed that the cancerous growth was disappearing and crumbling off. "I ascribed this to the exposure to the sun, and, of course, sought the exposure more than ever. After exposing the afflicted ear to the strong sun for a whole month the inflammation disappeared and the ear looked as natural as its mate." The doctor says the cancer cells were destroyed by the rays of the sun and advises that sufferers spend the winter in high altitudes, in a mild climate, because the intensity of the sun's rays is greatest in high altitudes, while the air is free from bacilli. The doctor added that he cannot advise too strongly sun baths in high altitudes. He tells of a case in Alland where a young girl, suffering from consumption of the throat, cured herself by sun baths. ROAD ENGINE HAULS OATS Bozeman, Mont.—A load of oats weighing 26,266 pounds has been brought in a novel way from the ranches in the valley to Bozeman. The oats, in sacks, were loaded on five wagons coupled together, and the train of wagons thus made was hauled by a thrashing engine. The load was the first of its kind to be hauled in the valley, and was taken from C. Crandall's and J. T. Witener's ranch, a distance of more than six miles, in two hours, making an average speed of three miles per hour. The grain was received by the Bozeman Elevator company, a new concern which has just begun operations. As it was such a success the men in charge of the transportation of the grain are going to haul the remainder of the crop in the same manner, and then, perhaps, they will haul grain for others. Oak Coffin for Bulldog. Inclosed in an oak coffin with a metallic lining, a French bulldog which was the pet of a wealthy family of the Hill section in Brooklyn. N. Y. was buried with unusual honors. Dr. L. McClean, a veterinary surgeon, attended the dog during its last illness, and the coffin was made to order to fit the animal's body by undertakers. Both the doctor and the undertaker refused to give the name of the sorrowing owner of the bulldog, and both professed to be in ignorance of where the interment was made. Still a Corn Husker George Benninger, a Swiss laborer who went to Wooster, O., a few weeks ago from Cleveland, has received his share of his grandfather's estate, amounting to $59,000, though a Cleveland bank. Benninger does not seem to be carried away over the good fortune, and spends the time husking corn. LITTLE WORKS HAVOC IN SOLDIERS' HOME. Indianapolis, Ind.—Cupid in his most alluring garb is at work among the veterans in the State soldiers' home at Lafayette. In the last year seven or eight marriages have taken place at the home, and it is said there are enough courtships in progress to promise many more matrimonial alliances next year. "It looks as if we'll have to find a way to head, off the little god," declared R. M. Smock, commandant of the home, at G. A. R. headquarters. The total population of the home is 1,003. Of this number 495 were women—thewives or widows of soldiers. The commandant says the mortality rate at the home seems to be increasing. Included in the population are seven or eight Spanish-American war veterans, mostly young men. Said the commandant: "The per cent. of deaths is very much greater among the Spanish war soldiers than among the veterans of the civil war. The experience in tropical countries in which many of them had to serve seems to have lowered their vitality, and, besides, the boys who went out in the Spanish-American war were not nearly so well able to stand hardship as those who went out in 1862." Commandant Smock spoke of many old couples in the home who seem perfectly happy. They have little work to do and are furnished with plenty of clothing and food. The commandant is inclined to encourage matrimony at the home. He says that among all the marriages that have taken place there since he took control only one has resulted unhappily. After their marriage the mismated pair left the institution. The husband has returned, however, and has sued his wife for divorce. The husband was formerly a member of the Indianapolis police force. MONARCHS LOSE PRESENTS Gifts Shah Wa's to Have Sent Them Now Repose in Pawnshop—All Won't Take Them Back. Vienna.—President Roosevelt, the kaiser and a king or, two have been robbed of the Christmas presents which the shah of Persia intended to give them. Each potentate was to have a diamond studded miniature portrait of himself, and Ali-Bagair, a Persian jeweler in this city, was commissioned to do the work in true oriental style. All had finished the portraits of Mr. Roosevelt, Emperor Francis Joseph and Kaiser Wilhelm, when he was obliged to go to Paris for more diamonds, and turned the finished portraits over to another Persian, Machmed Baga, for safe keeping. When All returned he found a nice little letter awaiting him but no Baga. The missive contained a fine assortment of oriental greetings, wishes and kotows—and a pawn ticket. Machmed, it seems, pawned the shah's portraits the day he received them and immediately set out for Italy. He was subsequently arrested in Florence, but had only a few hundred frances in his possession. The shah has refused to take the portraits out of pawn, and All declares it would ruin him to do so. BOBTAIL STEERS AND COWS Tails of Range Cattle Cut Off to Make Ropes—Hogs Robbed Redding, Cal.-W. B. Elam, an extensive stock raiser of Tehama county, came to Red Bluff and complained to the sheriff that parties unknown to him were cutting the tails off the stock on his ranges. He thinks there must be as many as 100 bobtailled steers and cows on the range about Hunter's station. He says the mutilation is done by thieves, who want the hair to use in the manufacture of hair ropes. Mr. Elam claims that the men who rob the cattle of their tails slip up behind them while they are lying down, and with a sharp knife do the work quickly. Ross McRaye, of Payne's creek, also in Tehama county, went to red cluff and swore to a complaint charging that a neighbor had stolen 17 hogs from him. Later 16 of the hogs turned up at the home place, but all of them had been clipped clean of ears. These two complaints, coming so closely together, are a novelty in criminal proceedings in northern California. Writes 4.917 Words in Hour. Ray T. Vanettisch, Colorado service editor of the Pueblo Chieftain, broke the world's typewriting record for both the 30-minute and one-hour tests, taking 2,600 words during the first 30 minutes and finishing the hour with 4,917 words. The dictation was received over the long-distance telephone from Denver, a distance of 120 miles. The previous hour record, 3,830 words, direct dictation, was made by Paul Munter at Madison Square garden. New York, November 4, 1905. Sun Will Be Cold. Sir Oliver Lodge, the great scientist, declares that one of the recent sun spots observed in the solar eclipse was so large that the earth could be dropped into the cavity with a clear space of 1,000 miles all around it. The sun shrinks very slowly, adds Sir Oliver, and Lord Kevin has calculated that in 20,000,000 years it would be incapable of warming the earth. London. — Interesting experiments with blue light as an agent for producing analgesia, or insensibility to pain the discovery of Prof. Redard, have been carried out by Dr. Harvey Hillard, anaesthetist to the Royal Dental hospital of London. In an article in the Medical Times and Hospital, Dr. Hillard states that he found that a blue light had on himself a most distinctly calming influence, a desire to close the eyes and sleep is experienced, and, after some minutes, sensibility to pain is lessened. For instance, the difference between a light pressure made with the tip of the little finger and a needle could not easily be detected, and surgical needles could be pushed into the face, lips, gums or arms and blood drawn thereby without actual pain being felt unless a still deeper pressure were exerted. "I believe that the presence of a blue lamp suitably placed might give satisfactory results in the treatment of insomnia, owing to its calming influence. I have tried it with some benefit in one case, and similarly in restlessness of infants suffering from a mild illness, and in asylums in case of mania it is conceivable that blue light rays might be of value. This view is supported by the fact that red lights have been found to have a beneficial effect upon smallpox, as it is inimical to the vitality of the germs of that disease." Dr. Hillard gives instances of the utility of the blue rays in the case of the extraction of teeth. One man said under its influence he felt no pain when the molar was extracted, and returned to have two others removed by the same agency. WORKS FARM LIKE A MAN. Wife of Man Who Becomes Insane Saves Property by Her Exertions —Complimented by Judge. Knightstown Ind.-The final settlement in the Henry circuit court of the estate of George Shewmaker reveals the story of how a plucky little woman made a brave fight to save the farm, support two children and maintain the family respectability after she had been deprived of a husband's help when he was sent to the insane hospital. A few years ago, when Rufus Shewmaker was murdered by John Thrawley in the northern part of this county. George Shewmaker, a brother of the murdered man, went insane from brooding over his brother's untimely death. Shortly before he had purchased a farm and when he was committed everyone thought the farm would revert to the original owner. Not so, however, for the brave little wife set heroically to work, met all the notes as they fell due, paid the taxes regularly and the court has just authorized the administrator of the estate to turn the farm over to her. All the while Mrs. Shewmaker worked the farm herself, marketed the crops and did all the farm work without male assistance and at the same time she sent her children to school. When Judge Morris issued his order he publicly complimented the little, woman for the brave sight she had made and declared that it was more than many men could have done. WHO OWNS THESE TEETH? That Is Mystery That Is Agitating Ypsilanti, Mich., Mail Carriers Who Get Queer Package. Ypsilanti, Mich.—There is a new version of the Cinderella story which is more up to date than the original which has done duty through several generations. According to the new one the modern prince is going about Ypsilanti inspecting the mouths of would-be princesses to see whom a wandering set of upper teeth may possibly fit. Recently, when the post office carriers made their collections from the city mail boxes one of them discovered a set of false teeth in one of the boxes. The teeth were not wrapped up or labeled as to their destination nor was postage prepaid. So that the authorities have no idea as to their ultimate destination Just how they came there is also a mystery and whether some night wanderer tried to swallow the mail box and got too big a mouthful, or whether the teeth were destined as a gift for some member of the force, is not known. The teeth will be kept a week and then returned to the dead letter office as unmalled matter. LEFT FORTUNE BY A "VAG." Denver Sheriff Befriended Stranger, Who Wills Him $32,000 at His Death. Denver, Col.—Felix O'Neill, formerly sheriff of Denver county, has just received $32,000 by the will of a man named Garrity, who was serving a sentence for vagrancy when O'Neill, then a detective, became interested and helped him upon his feet. Garrity told the officer that he had come west to make his fortune and was penniless, and O'Neill, with a kindly heart, took the man to his home after he had left jail, fled and clothed him and gave him a start. The old man soon left Denver, but often returned and O'Neill never had a truer friend. Uncle Sam's Loose Change All the money in the world now amounts to $12,500,000,000, of which $6,000,000,000 is in gold and more than $3,000,000,000 is in silver. Of the gold nearly one-fourth and of the silver more than one-fifth is held by the United States, the amount in both cases being more than that held by any other nation. HARTFORD, CONN., BUYS HERD WITH LAND. Sixteen of the Animals on Preserve Are Nearly All Full Grown—Bucks, in Bad Temper, Flight Among Each Other. Hartford, Conn.—It is expected that the city of Hartford will soon number among its assets the herd of 16 deer now on the Colt estate, as it is thought that they will go with the property and continue to ornament the grounds, where deer have been for 30 years or more. The deer, now in their preserve, on the Colt property, are all practically full grown, as the youngest ones are over a year old. They are now wearing their winter suits, a trifle darker in color than the leaves that strew the ground in their little park, and they all seem as contented as if they were assured that a future of prosperity awaited them. Things do not run smoothly in deer-dom, however, for the bucks are in bad temper and have been for a month or two, a characteristic of the male during the rutting season. They fight one another, and resent attention on the part of humans for that matter. Within a few days one of the men on the grounds found two of the bucks lying on the grass, each with his horns hopelessly interlocked in the other's, while one. in addition, had caught his fore legs in the other's antlers, so that movement on his part was out of the question. Assistance was secured and the two animals were finally disentangled. They were exhausted and lay quietly on the ground for some little time after they had been released. Whatever their difference had been, they had forgotten. It by the time they were able to walk about again. Had they been wild deer they would have starved to death where they lay. No one now on the Colt estate can remember the time when the deer were brought there. though it is thought that they were secured by or given to Mrs. Colt after the death of her husband. The herd is now somewhere near high water mark, as for many years there were only seven or eight of the animals. While they are more numerous now, they are snowing the effects of in and in breeding, for it is said, they do not average as large as their ancestors were 20 years ago. Most of them die natural deaths, though there have been some notable exceptions to the rule. One, said to be the finest buck ever on the grounds, was shot 12 or 13 years ago because he had become so ugly in disposition that his presence was dangerous to his fellows as well as to human visitors. He was an animated breach of the peace, and Mrs. Colt was forced to have him killed. DEER INCREASING IN JERSEY Tuckahoe, N. J.—The great swamps in New Jersey's three lower counties, Cape May, Atlantic and Cumberland, and fair soon to rival the best deer hunting grounds in the country. Old residents of these counties declare that the deer are now as plentiful as they were half a century ago, when it was an easy matter to shoot five or six in a day's hunt. Six years ago deer were exceedingly scarce in the South Jersey woods. They were hunted so reentlessly that they kept to the most inaccessible swamps, and even at that the extermination of the animals seemed likely. Then the legislature interfered. In 1901 a law was passed forbidding deer shooting for three years. During that period the deer increased so rapidly that the legislature passed another law making it unlawful to kill deer for a further period of two years and then they could be hunted only on Wednesdays in November. Many sportsmen are in favor of continuing the closed season for three or five years longer and allowing each hunter to kill only two deer in a season. Left unmolested for the last four years the deer have become tame, and it is almost a daily occurrence for farmers to see them near their orchards and barnyards. NEW CAR DOUBLES SPEED. Inventor Says Motor-Cycle Car Will Run from Chicago to New York in Eight Hours. Syracuse, N. Y.—James N. Vandergrift, in a paper before the Syracuse Technology club, announced that the Westinghouse company is building a car invented by him which will run at double the speed now attained, and will carry passengers from New York to Chicago in ten hours less than the Twentieth Century limited, and from Syracuse to New York in an hour and a half. His plan is to have four wheels on the car, placed one ahead of the other, running on a third rail between the two rails now used. The cars are to be pointed at the ends, to reduce the resistance of the air and to lessen the danger in case of a collision. "The motor cycle train" is to be kept upright by the wheels or rollers running on the two outside tracks. Swiss Elect President. Switzerland has just elected a new president without even stopping to take a long breath. The only thing the Swiss people ever permit themselves to get excited over is the arrival of a new millionaire from America. "SOUL BLINDNESS" LATEST Case Discovered Where Person Soes Normally, But Cannot Name Objects He Beholds. Berlin.—"Soul blindness" is the name given by Prof. Schuster to the latest discovered disease. An elderly man who had received a good education arrived recently from Russia and placed himself under Schuster's care. He was suffering from curious lapses of memory and mental association. Schuster put him under observation and found he could not read, but the series of letters forming words, perfectly familiar to him conveyed no meaning to his mind. The patient spoke quite coherently and showed no other symptoms of disease. He was asked to write the simple sentence: "I am hungry," but when Schuster asked him to name the individual letters and point them out, he could not do so. His sight was normal; he recognized and named all the objects around him, but when the objects were sketched on paper he was utterly at fault and unable to say whether a boot was a tree or a house. Prof. Schuster explains the disease by saying the connection between his visual organs and his powers of associating ideas has been sundered, and it is doubtful whether the connection will ever again be made. Equally singular is a discovery made by Dr. Hertwig, of Stuttgart, who has a woman under treatment who, while in a state of somnolency, is in possession of all waking faculties. When addressed she answers clearly and sensibly. In speaking to her it is not necessary to raise the voice above a whisper. Her eyes are closed as in ordinary sheep, but when spoken to she sees everything around her with which she is familiar steeped in a blue atmosphere. Pennsylvania's Weather Prophet Promises Comfortable Season After Goose Dinner. Reading, Pa.—Ellas Hartz, aged 22, the goosebone weather prophet, helped to eat his first goose of the season re- cently. Looking at the breast bone after it was dried, Mr. Hartz saw very little of the usual purple coloring, and at once declared emphatically that the coming winter would be very mild. Along about the holidays, or during the early part of January, a sharp drop in the temperature is indicated, but it will not last more than a few days. The remainder of that month will be mild. About the first of February seven cold weather with plenty of snow, and probably a blizzard, may be expected. Real winter weather is predicted for that month, and it may extend into March. The bone is perfectly clear until the middle of winter, when a dark spot is shown. Then it again clears and remains so until the closing month of the winter. The discolorations of the bone are in sharp contrast compared with those of the two previous years. The one for 1991-1995 showet from the dark color all the way through that the winter would be severe from start to finish. HOG FASTS FOR SIX WEEKS Found in Abandoned Ice House, Where It Was Locked Up Near New London, Mo. New London, Mo.-A long-missing hog belonging to H. A. Pritchet, a farmer near here, has been found in an abandoned ice house on the farm, where it had been for 42 days without food. The animal was rescued by the wife of Mr. Pritchet, who discovered a while inspecting the house. Lying in one corner of the deserted place, with its eye staring open and its body reduced to hide and bones, not able to move even its tail, the hog was found. When Mrs. Pritchet looked into its face to see if it was dead. It evinced much happiness by what appeared to be a smile, faint and almost undiscernable though it was. The woman hurrelly summoned farm hands and ordered the dog movel, and, carefully and by degrees, food was administered, until the animal grew stronger. After several days it was able to stand on its feet, and its owner says it will be fattened until it is again the big, fat beast it was before. GETS HUNT PERMIT TO WED Confused Bridegroom Secures Papers for Chase Instead of Altar in St. Louis, Mo. St. Louis, Mo—Louis Bell was so frustrated when he entered the city' hall to procure a marriage license that he stood in line waiting for huntmen's licenses, and when his turn came, said: "I want one of them, too." The clerk issued the license, and Bell returned to the home of his bride-elect. The guests had all arrived, and the ceremony was about to proceed when the minister discovered that the license was wrong. Bell inspected the document and found it to be a hunter's license. While he was hunting happiness, he did not want just that kind and so told the clerk when he returned to city hall. The old license was canceled and the marriage license issued instead. The wedding then proceeded. An Indian wants to go to the senate from Oklahoma when that territory is admitted as a state. If he pulls through it may be taken for granted that he will speedily become a bad Indian. The greatest house in the city to please your taste. SHERRIES Pedro Domceq's Sherries.
