Wichita Searchlight

The Wichita Searchlight. SUCCESSOR TO PITTSBURG PLAINDEALER. Made on the floor of the United States Senate. I have exhumed the bloody shirt for a brief moment and am waving it like a reo flag to a bull and the latter will not fight or budge, and I will call the attention of my friends from the North—I have a great many on that side, I am proud to say—to the fact that they do not know yet, and never will know until they come South and live with us, just what we have had to contend against and just what we have to contend against even now. They do not realize it; they cannot realize it; and it is for the purpose of trying to have them study this question of race a little more and analyze it that I have attempted in my feeble way, to intrude on this body for the brief remarks I have made on this subject. I will tell you, while I am talking about negro suffrage, why they are so dangerous as voters. In any state where the whites divide—and the divide in every Southern state except mine and Mississippi—into Populists and Democrats the negro has been the balance of power, through which one side or the other has controlled the elections by means of bribery, for the negro voter was a purhasable one. Therefore we have been confronted by the condition of a large, ignorant debased vote, thrust upon us by the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. Other states, not so peculiarly situated as mine, have retained that negro vote. They have taken no steps looking to its elimination by educational qualification or any other system. That vote to-day stands as a menace to the freedom, to the purity of the ballot-box, to the purity and honesty of elections, to the decency of government, and it is there forever until there is a constitutional provision made here which will relieve us from it. I should be glad to see an education qualification throughout the North. I believe no man is fit to be an elector unless he is able to read and write aud understand something about government and May Negotiate Direct. May Negotiate Direct. Washington, Sept. 21.—Now the belief is growing that if the United States government is forced to a speedy decision as to the German proposition, it may resort to direct negotiations with the Chinese government, and, having settled its scores with that government withdraw from China, giving notice to the allied powers there of the arrangement made, in order that that arrangement should remain unaffected by any settlement that the allies may make thereafter as to China. They Want Pay for Overtime. Lowell, Mass., Sept. 21.—Two hundred employees of the Merrimac packing room struck in sympathy with the print workers, over 400 of whom are on a strike on account of being required to work overtime without any increase in pay. its great principles. But who hopes to see that? No party at the North will dare to undertake to limit suffrage in that way, because it would mean at the first election that the vote which they dread would go to the other party and they would be beaten, and the demagogues in both parties would plead that you must have equality of manhood without regard to patriotism or intelligence or decency or ability or any other qualification which makes a man fit to vote. * * Let me tell you how we were situated in our state. We had a hundred and twenty-five thousand negroes of voting age and we had a hundred thonsand whites. Now, can you lift yourselves over the fence with your boot straps and beat that by honest methods? Yet you stood up here and insisted that we must give these people a "free vote and a fair count." They had it for eight years, as long as the bayonets stood there, and in 1876 they sent more bayonets, because we had got the devil in ns by that time and we did not care whether we had any governmeut. We preferred to have a United States Army officer rather than a government by carpetbaggers and thieves, scalawags and scoundrels, who had stolen everything in sight and had mortgaged posterity; who ran their felonous paws into the pockets of posterity by issuing bonds. When that happened we took the government away. We stuffed ballot-boxes. We shot them. We are not ashamed of it. With that system-force, tissue ballots, etc.-we got tired ourselves. So we called a constitutional convention, and we eliminated as I said, all of the colored people whom we could under the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. --- Natives of Guam are Citizens. Honolulu, via San Francisco, Sept. 18.—The question of whether citizens of Guam are Americans was raised in the United States district court here. Judge Estee expressed the opinion that the native born people of Guam are Americans by virtue of the annexation of their country by the United States. Cash Receipts Overstated. Houston, Texas Sept. 19.—The following note was sent to the Associated Press correspondent at the request of Governor Sayers: Austin, Texas Sept. 19.—Governor Sayers has given out the following: "Reports sent out from this place by whomsoever may that $800,000 or $900,000 has already been paid in are absolutely false and made without authority and calculated to do great harm to the needy sufferers along our coast. No such sum of money has been received or anything approaching it. It is believed that the stories have done great harm in that they have prevented the contribution of money which is so solely needed at Galveston. WICHITA, KANSAS, SEPT. 22, 1900. The Next Clerk of the District Court. It is with pleasure we call our many readers' attention to the name of Mr. Thomas R. McCulley, Republican nominee for clerk of the District Court of Sedgwick county. He is a pleasant, gentle manly, successful business man and a Republican to the core, of the Abraham Lincoln sort. This gentleman is an Ohioan by birth, having been born in Guesnsey county, Ohio, Oct. 6, 1863. He was educated in the school of Kimbelton, O., and is a graduate of the Iron City Business college, of Pittsburgh, Penn. He was in business six years in the state of Ohio, and came to Kansas in 1882 for his health, and finding it a good country, decided to remain, locating in Sedgwick county, in Viola township in 1883, where he followed farming for five years, afterwhich time he engaged in the general merchandise and grain business in the town of Viola, where he is now engaged. He has proven to be a good business man, and one who will make a capable and careful clerk of the District court of this county. We recommend him to our readers. TRIBAL TAX MUST BE PAID. Evictions Will be Made After Ten Days Notice is Given. Washington, Sept. 18.—The tribal tax laws of the Chickasaw and Choctaw nations will be enforced by the United States government. This course is definitely decided upon and will be carried into effect at once. Mr. Hitchcock, secretary of the interior, has sent out definite instructions to the United States Indian inspector for the Indian Territory to this effect. It makes known the course of the government in the clearest language possible. It informs the government officials that all persons carrying on a business in the territory or feeding cattle within its boundaries, must pay the tribal tax in every particular within a period of ten days after the formal notice is given of the department's determination in the matter, or failure to do so will result in the eviction of such persons from the territory and the closing of their places of business. The department has decided to take no middle ground in the matter but the terms of the secretary's letter will be carried out with all the power and authority of the United States government. This action was a direct result of the decision of Mr. Griggs, attorney general of the United States, advising such course and declaring it to be the legal and proper one. Complain of Cruel Tactics. Hazelton, Pa., Sept. 21.—No negotiations for a settlement of the strike are yet in sight, and the situation in that respect is unchanged. The mine owners in the Hazelton district complain bitterly of what they call the "cruel tactics" of the union. They claim that the workmen who are still going to the mines are being intimidated and even threatened with serious bodily harm if they do not quit work. They also add that most of the men now idle desire to resume work, but through fear of assault they do not leave their homes. --- American Steel Cheapess. London, Sept. 20.—In steel trade consumers' orders are withheld because they say they can buy cheaper from American and German makers. Steel plates were brought from America to Glasgow for transhipment to the east at a lower cost, including freight and charges, than the price of the local makers. Tube makers import American strips very much cheaper than they can buy them at home and it is presumed American tube makers can and will compete with ours. And so on all through the steel trade. Hardly a steamer coming from America but has some iron or steel on board. Negroes Carry Santiago Results Of Recent Cuban Election Causes Whites To Favor Annexation. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept.21.— The election for delegates to the constitutional convention have resulted in favor of the Black Party through out this entire provine, and the white now openly declare that they are annexationist Ten thousand Colored men who had worked them selves up almost to a frenzy and wearing badges containing a skull and cross bones, signifying death to the Republ. can party, paraded the principal streets of the city. A mock funeral of the Republican party and was attended by 1,000 Colored persons. ATTEMPT FOR ARBITRATION. Debate Between Mitchell and Operator Markle. FATHER PHILLIPS AGAIN. Hazelton, Pa., Sept. 21.—There was a meeting at Jeddo of the employes of Markle & Co, who operate four collieries. President Mitchell, of the Mine Workers addressed the miners, urging the men to stop work, so as not to injure the interests of all miners. Mr. Markle was present and finally got a hearing. He said the company stood ready to arbitrate any differences with the men. He said the company had an arbitration agreement of long standing with the men, and that he would live up to it and expected the men to do the same. He also said that he would abide by the decision of the arbitrators, no matter what the award might be. Mr. Markle concluded his address by paying his respects to the United Mine Workers officials, calling them agitators and charging them with being responsible for all the turmoil in the region. Mr. Mitchell then got on the steps and, standing beside Mr. Markle, told the crowd that the United Mine Workers would not accept arbitration on that basis. It must be the whole region and not a part of it. Mr. Markle again addressed the men and said that he would accept Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia as an arbitrator, to which Mr. Mitchell replied that he would accept the archbishop on the basis that the United Mine Workers proposed—arbitration for the whole region at one and the same time. At this point Father Phillips, who was in the crowd, was called upon and delivered a speech favoring arbitration. He told the men that there was a chance to arbitrate their honest differences, and if they did not seize the opportunity they would be giving organized labor the hardest blow it has ever been dealt, and that all the men who refused the offer deserved all the hardships that the operators could put upon them in a hundred years. Berlin Still For Blood. Berlin, Sept. 20.—The foreign office has sent a circular to all the powers announcing that it German government considers that an indispensable preliminary to the beginning of peace negotiations with China is the delivering up of those who are responsible for the outrages. London, Sept. 20.—The Morning Post gives voice to the general sentiment among the powers upon the vote, thus: If the real authors and investigators of the uprising should prove to be identical with the personnel of the Chinese government, it can hardly be expected that they will deliver themselves up, and that, if the Chinese government should be designated as guilty, it would be under the ban of the powers, a condition of things only terminable by the conquest of China or a revolution producing a new government. Human Heads in Sacks. Victoria, B. C., Sept. 20.—Among the advices brought by the Breconshire from China were stories of the arrest of Chinese with the heads of foreign soldiers in sacks. It seems that head money of fifty taels is paid for each head. This fact was brought to light by the discovery of the private papers of Viceroy Yu Lu of Tien Tsin. In his daybook there is on entry which reads: "Taels 100 paid for the heads of two Americans killed in the advance to the relief of Tien Tsin. Taels 50 for two guns captured on the same ossasion."

Hitchcock, chief of the section of foreign markets of the agricultural department, has prepared a bulletin showing the value and character of imports from each foreign country for the five fiscal years, 1853-1900. It shows that our agricultural imports have an average annual value of $366,964,708, of which more than one-half came from tropical countries. Brazil, the leading source of our coffee supply, sent us 15 per cent of our total agricultural imports, the United Kingdom coming next with 9.3. Minister Conger's Advice. Shanghai, Sept. 21.—Mr. Conger, the United States minister, says that Pekin must be occupied by foreign troops until some settlement is effected, as otherwise all the value of the expedition will be lost. General Chaffee has issued orders prohibiting the American troops from shooting from boats, looting or foraging. Every facility is to be given to Chinese who desire to re-open their many shops and everything taken must be paid for. Going to the Border a Waste of Time Anadarko, Sept. 20.—Speaking of the opening Agent Randlett of the Kiwas said there were leases made with the cattlemen that did not expire until March 31, next year and as it is especially stated in the bill opening the country, that these leases are not to be abrogated, the earliest day in which the opening could occur, would be April 1, 1901. It would simply be a waste of time and money for people to come and stay on the border hoping for an earlier opening day. What Will Waldersee Do? Washington, Sept. 19.—Count Von Waldersse, who will command the allied armies, is expected to arrive at Shanghai this week. There have been no announcements of his purposes, but it is expected that these will be developed as the results of instructions which he will receive on arrival. Although a military commander, it is the understanding among officials that he will probably exert considerable influence on the diplomatic situation, as he is a diplomat as well as a soldier.

A special train of twenty cars all loaded with cotton was taken out of Texas and will be rushed through to New York, where it will be shipped to Liverpool, England. These twenty cars of cotton are not only the first shipment of this year's crop in from Texas, but it is also the advance shipment of a heavy export trade which will go east from Texas and the South. Memphis Road Will Not Extend. Kansas City, Sept. 21.—The report from Oklahoma City that the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis railway was to build an extension from Miami, I. T., through the Indian territory and Oklahoma is denied by officials of the company. R. R. Hammond, general superintendent of the Memphis, and other officials of the company, are in the territory on a hunting and fishing trip. It was reported they were laying out a route for the immediate extension of the Memphis. German Loans Taken Rapidly New York, Sept. 19.—Bankers engaged in financing the German government war loan are busy receiving subscriptions. Over $1,000,000 of the notes have been ordered by telegraph from outside points. It is believed that requests thus far received represent a wide range of territory, indicating a very general interest. Milwaukee and other western points where the German population is large are expected to send in generous subscriptions. Orient Construction Company. Kansas City, Sept. 18.—The Kansas City and Oklahoma Construction company, which was organized to build a portion or the Kansas City and Orient railroad, has increased its capital stock from $200,000 to $400,000.

E. church, who finished his conference year in this city last Sunday, shewed that he raised $1,804,00. Paying all floating debts against the church, and paying the interest on the main debt up to and including Jan. 1st, 1901; reducing the main debt from more than $1,000,00 to less than $850,00, and adding 39 persons to the roll of the church. This $1,804,00 does not take into account the money raised to aid the sick, etc. This shows that Rev. Terrill did a grand work during the year, and we sincerely hope he will be with us again the ensuing year. HAS DONE WELL The administration of Hon.. W.E.

The blow had been so crushing, so unexpected—that he had not seemed glad to see her, that his heart had not leapt out to her, as hers did to him, that his eyes did not rest for one moment upon the boy, was bad enough; but that there should be another woman in her place! Oh, that was anguish intolerable! At last she spoke. "You love her, Alan?" she asked. "Better than my life!" he answered passionately. "Oh!" She gave a little shudder. "Then I will go and leave you to your happiness," she said quietly. "It's the only way—the only way. I will take our boy and go!" "But you cannot go!" he groaned. "I made you my wife, Veronica, and as long as you live you will be my wife, although my heart and hers may break." "I break your heart?" cried Veronica. "Why, I would give my life for you. I would not have you unhappy for a moment if I could help it. I love you as much as in the old days, Alan, before the shipwreck. Oh, why was I saved?" He looked at her, and poor Veronica's heart failed her. There was no love in that look. All the love of Alan's heart was given to Joyce. There was pity and despair, but no love. When a woman loves a man she can soon see the difference. He could not say that he praised God that she was saved, and he did not. "Tell me about it," he said mechanically. If she talked he would be able to think what it would be best to do for her. But as for him, the despair of his heart almost choked him when he thought that in about half an hour he must pull down that beautiful fabric of their lives, must ruin Joyce forever! He could scarcely think of Veronica in his overwhelming agony; but she spoke, glad to see his interest. "I was washed in shore, into a sandy bay, Alan. I had gone through the anguish of dying; but when the people found me they brought me to, but the shock had been too much for me; I could not remember anything. And then in about five months baby was born, and then it all came to me slowly. I was ill and weak and could do nothing; I could scarcely think. Then at last when I wrote the letters were sent back to me, and I heard a rumor that you had gone back to England. I was penniless. I did not know if you wanted our marriage acknowledged, so I did not write to Mr. Dempster; but as my strength returned my courage did also. I began giving singing and guitar lessons. People were good to me. I worked hard, and at last scraped together enough money to take me in a sailing boat to England. I hate the sea. I was afraid of it; but you were there, and I came. But it was a year before I could find anything of you, and I should not have found you at all but Hutchinson told me he had seen you and had spoken to you." "When did he tell you that?" "Two days ago. But he told me that he had seen you two months ago, and you had spoken of me. You had told him we were married, Alan, which he had not known. He tracked me home from a music shop, where they get me music lessons; but I cannot tell why he delayed." But Alan could. Hutchinson, in his cruelty, knew that it would be the ruin of Joyce's life as well as his own if this marriage with her could be consummated first. He knew Hutchinson hated him, so this was his revenge! He tried to think of Veronica, but it was of no use. Joyce's image came before him whenever he tried to think of the poor girl who was his wife. The little boy, also, was looking at him with his, Alan's, own blue eyes, which were so great a contrast to his curly dark hair. That these poor creatures, dependent upon him for love which he could not give, troubled him. "Veronica," he said at length, "will you go back to where you live and I will write to you when I have seen her?" "The wife you love?" asked poor Veronica. "Yes," said Alan. "Will you do that? You know that you can trust me." "Of course," said Veronica, simply. "I will do what you say always. It is misery to me to think that I have made you so unhappy, when I thought only to make you happy." "My poor girl," he said, deeply touched by the contrition in her tone and by her sadness, "you would have done very wrong if you had not come." She gave him her address and left him. When she had gone a little way from him she took her boy in her arms and hugged him fiercely. "He never looked at you, my own," she said "never once! But you are mother's joy! Oh, Alan, Alan," she wailed, "why was I saved!" But Alan was standing where she had left him. He told himself that he was no coward, but that his heart failed him for this. There was no way out of it. He and Joyce, his wife of six weeks, must part! At last he roused himself; it was getting late. Joyce already would be uneasy about him. The thought of her pretty wifely solicitude, and how after today it might never be put to the test, overcame him altogether. To feel that Joyce was living, and that he must give her up, that they were both young and loving, and must go on living apart forever, was too much for him. "My God, help us to bear it!" Afterwards it came back to him with profound regret that he had never thought of Veronica at all; but he could be thankful that he had seen her and had not hated her. He crept home slowly, like a wounded animal going to its lair. Home! The very word hurt him. And he and Joyce had only this morning talked of buying the pretty house for their summer residence. This morning was it, or years ago. Could it be only an hour or so since he left the station, all unsuspicious of what was to befall him? For he had been unsuspicious. He had entirely forgotten the woman who he now easily identified as Veronica. He had been happy as it is given to few mortals to be happy. He groaned aloud as he opened the door which led into the pretty hall. His throat was dry; he could not call Joyce. But she had evidently heard the opening door, for she came out of the morning-room, which they furnished with the hangings they had bought on the day he had seen Veronica. She called gaily to him and a little reproachfully. "Oh. Alan, how late you are, you naughty boy! And our ride—will you have tea first?" He simply could not answer. It was impossible; his tongue clove to the roof of his mouth, and his dry throat could not articulate a sound. "Alan," she called again, "come along, darling." "I am coming." His voice was, however, so muffled, in a moment she was alarmed. She came running out to him. "Alan, Alan, what is it? Are you ill, dearest?" Her unconsciousness almost killed him, together with the thought that he would have to tell her. Then she came up to him and saw his face. In an instant she knew that something awful had occurred. Her jaw fell, and she staggered up to him, putting out her hand and feeling as if she were blind. She was unconscious no longer, for she remembered vividly the day when he had turned so white, and had told her the reason afterwards as they sat together at the hotel. Her quick mind told her that his ashy greyness and the misery on his face had something to do with his dead wife. Hand in hand they went together into the pretty morning-room, into which the sun was shining, and they sat down speechless. A bird in a bush close by set up its joyous song. Nature was full of gladness. Then suddenly he wrenched his hand out of hers and threw himself headlong upon the couch. Sobs broke from him and his shoulders heaved. For a moment she let him weep, and then she knelt down beside him and flung her pretty, soft arms round his neck, and pressed her cheek, down which the tears were running, against his, so that their tears mingled together. "Tell me like this," she said. But he could not speak, his grief was uncontrollable. And so in whispers she began: "It is something about your wife, Alan—your first wife, I mean, poor Veronica." He groaned, and an awful knowledge came to Joyce—a knowledge that clutched her heart and made her very being stand still. For a moment she saw nothing distinctly, heard nothing distinctly, only felt Alan's tears upon her cheek. Then, when the mist cleared away: "Is she alive?" she whispered. "Yes!" he cried. "Alive? Oh, my poor heart! Alive! Your wife? And I—I—" He sat up then and grasped her hands in his. "You, you!" he cried. And the agony of his voice came back to Joyce for years after. "You! I've got to give you up, Joyce! You, the wife of my heart, my own, my soul! You've got to be as nothing to me! How can I do it" "I don't know," she said feebly. "And yet, Alan, we must!" "Do you think I don't know it?" he cried. "Do you think I would have you live with me while my wife was living? Do you think I should let one person in this world point a finger of scorn at you? Do you think I should let you soil your beautiful white soul for me? Oh, Joyce, I love you too perfectly for that, you are too dear to me for that! I will say good-by to you, my own, and never look at your face again; but I will not let you live disgraced. But the parting—the parting!" Joyce's white face uplifted to his, Joyce's hands grasping his, Joyce's whole being suffused by love for him, and he had to give her up! No more exquisite agony had to be imagined than this moment's, and yet, when it came to the actual doing of it, it so far transcended the imaginings of it that this interview almost seemed sweet in comparison. "The parting?" she cooed. "The parting? You mean that we must cease living in the same house, in the same place, together? Alan, can we do it? Will strength be given us? Or what shall we do?" What the Leading Men of All Professions Earn in England. It pays to be at the top of things. Money is always attendant upon reputation, for nowadays the successful man is well rewarded for his ability. Diplomacy seems to be one of the most paying professions to follow. "The salary of an ambassador," is a well-known saying when any one wishes to indicate that such and such a person is possessed of great wealth. Sir E. J. Monon, our ambassador at Paris, is the most highly paid of all those vigilant gentlemen who guard our interests abroad. He receives for his services the princely income of £2,000 a year. After him comes Sir H. Humburg at Vienna, with £8,000; Sir F. C. Lacelles, at Berlin, with the same yearly sum, and Sir Charles Stewart Scott, who draws £7,000 from the public purse to represent us in St. Petersburg. All the English diplomats are well paid. Here is a list of some of them, giving the place at which they reside and the income that comes to them for it: Washington, £6,500; Rome, £7,000; Turkey, £8,000; Toulouse, £4,000; Egypt, £6,000; Tehran, £5,000—a list taken at random, which serves to show the large earnings of our representatives. The English church is still a paying profession for the men at the head of it. The archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Temple, enjoys, and indeed earns, the nice little sum of £15,000 a year, while his colleague of York is, like the bishop of London, paid £10,000 for his arduous and never-ending labors. The earl of Minto, the governor of Canada, has the list of governors with £10,000, and after him comes Sir Alfred Milner of Cape Town with £8,000. Lord Bencham of New South Wales gets £1,000, as also does Gen. Grenfell, who looks after that island fort, Malta. Sums of £6,000, £5,000, and £4,000 are common salaries. Consul-general are munificently paid. Two of them, Viscount Cromer of Cairo and Sir M. Durand of Teheran—each receive £5,000 a year. For being first lord of the admiralty Mr. Goshen draws £4,500, while Sir Richard Webster, until the last few days, enjoyed as attorney general £7,000. Mr. Chamberlain has besides his own large private fortune £5,000 as his official salary, while to commanding the army Lord Wolsele gets £4,500. The home secretary, Sir Matthew White Ridley, has £5,000 in salary. Despite the large figures give above, no one, not even the archbishop himself, can compare in his earning with those of a successful barrister Of all "tip-top" men, your leading counsel is the most fortunate. Low Russell of Killowen as a barrister made something like £20,000 a year-London Mall. SUPPLY OF IRON World Consumes About 90,000,000 Tons a Year. A good deal of anxiety has been felt during the last two years as to the available supplies of iron ore and fuel. The total world's consumption of iron ores in 1899 was probably more than 90,000,000 tons. Of this quantity the United States contributed more than 22,000,000. But in all countries alike exceptional efforts were made to increase the output so as to overtake the greatly stimulated demand. These efforts are still being continued, says the Engineering Magazine. Spain has been ransacked from one end to the other, in order to increase the available supplies. France is opening up new sources of supply in Greece, North Africa and elsewhere. The Germans have sought to acquire almost a monopoly of the supply of Swedish Lapland—within the Arctic circle—for a number of years to come, and have concluded arrangements which point to their belief that iron ores are likely to become increasingly scarce. This is a general apprehension, and if it is justified by the facts, then it seems to be probable that this condition may mainly determine future supremacy. Mme. de Stael once observed that "Providence fights on the side of the biggest battalions." In the war of commerce and industry it is conceivable that Providence may in future seem to interpose on behalf of the nation that has the largest available supplies of cheap iron ores—Chicago Record. President Receives About $90,000. The president receives a salary of $50,000 a year, his house free, and this includes the heating and lighting. The grounds are cared for, his conservatory is filled with flowers, and the gardener who cares for it is paid by the government. The only servants whose wages the president is called upon to pay are his own personal ones, for the doormen, messengers, clerks, and, in fact, every one connected directly or indirectly with the executive department are, of course, government employees. He receives, also, as the head of the army, fodder for his horses and his stable is the property of the government. There are other allowances and, taken all in all, it is estimated that the president receives in various ways between $80,000 and $90,000 a year, or its equivalent. Marshall Owen Roberts, who became a naturalized British subject a few days ago, is a son of the late Marshall Owen Roberts of New York, a mining king, who died in 1880, leaving an tate valued at $3,000,000.

Has Fasted for Thirty-Seven Days and Is Still Strong and Confident—Laughs at the "Ignorance of the World"— Claims to Be Gifted with Divine Power. Here is a picture of Dr. Henry Reuel Wallace, who is now incarcerated in a Chicago jail as a defendant in a breach of promise case. He claims to be ob- serving an ordinance of God, and is fasting for forty days. Up to date he has passed into his thirty-seventh day, substisting solely on coffee, sugar and water and salt. The doctor began his strange trial in good health, and has continued in the same condition. In DR. R. H. WALLACE fact, it is said by Cook County Jall Physician Francis W. McNamara that the doctor is even in better health than when he began his self-imposed task. He has fallen away somewhat in weight, going from 150 pounds to 125, and losing about six inches of girth. But his health has kept excellent. The endurance of the doctor is looked upon as remarkable by the jail officials, who, despite a sharp watch constantly kept up, have failed to discover the prisoner partaking of any food except such as has been named above. The doctor says he has absolutely touched nothing in the way of food but sugar and salt dissolved in water and coffee, except what angels bring him at night. The doctor claims to be gifted with divine power and that he is fed by angels who bring him food at night and sing to him. ENGLISH DOCTOR'S FEES Larger than in Other Countries and Fortunes Have Been Amassed. Fortunes Have Been Amassed Perhaps the physicians of England receive larger fees than their brother practitioners in other countries of the world. The greatest medical feature of the century, as might have been expected, has fallen to the lot of Sir William Jenner, who died a short time ago at the ripe age of 33 years. Sir William, who was always liberal in his expenditure and his charities, left a personal estate of the value of £355,000. In his palmiest days Sir William more than once made £2,000 by a single week's work, although naturally his average earnings were much below this amount. He himself, however, estimated his aggregate professional income for the last 30 years of his active life at over half a million pounds sterling, and yet this king of doctors has been known to travel to a distant suburb and take a two-guinea fee with a smile and a "Thank you." Some of the largest recorded medical fees, however, fall to his lot, and he is said to have received £20,000 for his attendance on the late prince consort and the Prince of Wales in one case fatal, illnesses. Sir William Gull, who had nine years less of life, amassed £344,023, the second medical fortune of the 146,746. It is significant that some of the medical men who have reapted the largest harvests have been proprietors of private asylums. Dr. Pauler, proprietor of the Camberwell House Private Asylum, amassed over £100,000, and Dr. William Wood, of the Priory Private Asylum, Roehampton, left £67,000. Fifteen physicians who have died quite recently left behind them an aggregate fortune of £2,000,000, or the gratifying average savings of £133,000. Sir Morell Mackenzie is said to have received £20,000 for attending Frederick the Noble, but at his death left only £21,953. These fortunes become intelligible when we consider that a fashionable physician frequently earns from 100 to 200 guineas in a couple of hours' morning consultations, and that there are many days on which his fees amount to 300 guineas or more. An ordinary fee for attending a patient at a distance of 200 miles from town would be 250 guineas, and for an operation at this distance a fashionable surgeon would get considerably more.—Utica Globe. Every woman has a story about a man whose wife died and his hair turned gray in a single night. A woman with a bad temper is seldom the rage. It is easier for a person to bear all the misfortunes of his neighbors than a single one of his own. Editor with Blood in His Eye. "Next week," announces a determined if not desperate north Missouri editor, "we will be running this paper as Jesse James would have run it. Delinquent subscribers may expect a call from us with their accounts stuck in the muzzle of a six-shooter. Otherwise this paper will have to be run as the sheriff would run it." Depreciation of Money. In 1873 a silver dollar was worth one dollar and sixth-tenths in gold, and in 1896 forty-five cents. Money may depreciate but there is one standard medicine, which has not changed in half a century, and that is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It always has been the one remedy for indigestion, dyspepsia and kidney troubles. Vlcar Sat Down on Bishop. The vicar of an East London parish was one of the first London clergymen to grow his beard. The then Bishop of London wished to stop the practice, and as he was going to confirm in that church sent his chaplain to the vicar to ask him to shave it off, saying he should otherwise select another church for the confirmation. The vicar replied that he was quite willing to take his candidates to another church, and would give out next Sunday the reason for the change. Of course the bishop retracted. Times are changing.

That daughter is a precious legacy, and the responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the mother. The mysterious change that develops the thoughtless girl into the thoughtful woman should find the mother on the watch day and night. As she cares for the physical well-being of her daughter, so will the woman be, and her children also. When the young girl's thoughts become sluggish, when she experiences headaches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits an abnormal disposition to sleep, pains in the back and lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude, and a dislike for the society of other girls, when she is a mystery to herself and friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptly. At such a time the greatest aid to nature is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It prepares the young system for the coming change, and is the surest reliance in this hour of trial. The following letters from Miss Good are practical proof of Mrs. Pinkham's efficient advice to young women Miss Good asks Mrs. Pinkham for Help. "DEAR MRS.
