The Wichita Searchlight. SUCCESSOR TO PITTSBURG PLAINDEALER. Lord Roberts to Come Home, But Leaves Actual War Behind. London, Nov. 5.—The South African situation is improving and Lord Roberts will shortly return to England with a majority of his staff. Arrangements are being made in Cape Town to send the first batch of refugees back to Johannesburg and accommodation is being provided at Bloemfontein for a garrison of seven thousand. Nevertheless, the activity of the Boers continues on October 26, a commando of 390 captured a garrison of 30 men at Reddersburg, but afterwards released them. Trains from the south to Pretorla are attacked by the Boers almost daily. On October 24 the Burgers occupied Koffefontein. On the other hand, General Knox has inflicted a reverse on General Dewett's forces near Parys, capturing two guns, one of them a weapon shot by the British in Sanna's Postaffair. The daily tale of British casualties is heavy. During the month of October the British lost 167 killed in action, including 15 officers, 7 wounded, 21 died of wounds, 21 died of accidents and 27 captured or missing, a total almost equal to the monthly average for the duration of the war.

Indications are that Long's plurality will reach 1504. Judicial Amendment Topeka, Nov. 9.—While no tabulation has been kept by the Republican committee, it is almost certain that the constitutional amendment to increase the membership of the supreme court carried. The proposition is to increase the number to seven. The court of appeals expires by limitation on January 1. If it should develop that the amendment is defeated, then the legislature will likely re-establish the court of appeals to relieve the supreme court. To Collect With a Cruiser- Tangler, Nov. 9.—United States Consul-General, Samuel R. Gunnerere is understood to have made further strong representations to the government officials urging the immediate payment of the American claims. It is also again reported that an Ameri-elin cruiser is to be sent to enforce the demand. California's Fruit Shipments- Los Angeles, Cal.. Nov. 5.—During the citrus season of 1900, 17,821 cars of citrus fruits were shipped from southern California, of which about 2,000 were lemons. By November 6th the movement of the new crop will have fairly begun and probably 3,000 cars will be shipped east for the holiday trade. The output for the coming season is estimated at over 20,000. Siberian Wheat. St. Petersburg, Nov. 6.—Official reports show the grain has been completely burned up by the drouth in portions of Siberia. The fields have not been harvested, and are used for pasture. The price of grain at Semipolitisak has advanced to a high price. October Philippines Revenue.

TREASURY STATEMENT. Also of the Mints—Circulation of Various Monies. Washington, Nov. 7.—The monthly circulation statement issued by the comprotiler of the currency shows that at the close of business October 31, 1900, the total circulation of national bank notes was $331,625,503, an increase for the year of $88,640,800, and an increase for the month of $3,289,530. The circulation based on the United States bonds was $289,841,300, an increase for the year of $90,920,526 and an increase for the month of $4,6'8,321. The circulation secured by lawful money was $32,784,203, a decrease for the year of $2,279,717, and a decrease for the month of $1,238,791. The amount of United States registered bonds on deposit to secure circulating notes was $301,123,580, and to secure public deposits $101,038,720. The monthly statement of the director of the mint shows the total coinage at the mints of the United States during October, 1900, to have been $9,508,610, as follows: Gold, $5,120,000, silver, $4,148,000; minor coins, $240,610. Flynn by 4,000 to 5,000. Guthrie, Nov. 9.—Dennis T. Flynn, republican, is elected to congress over Robert A. Neff, fusion candidate, by a plurality that will not fall far short of 4,000. It may reach 5,000. The territorial council will stand: Republicans, 6; fusionists, 6; antifusion populists, 1. The fusionists claim a tie in the lower house while the Republicans insist that they will elect seventeen members, fourteen being a majority. Dennis Flynn is disappointed because of his small majority but will not give an interview. Because of his free homes record Flynn confidently expected to get a majority of from 10,000 to 15,000. Republicans are now claiming that the campaign should have been made on national issues. Flynn discussed mostly territorial matters. Joint Ballot 111 to 54. Topeka, Nov. 9.—Complete returns from more than seventy counties and fragmentary returns from the remainder show that McKinley has carried Kansas by from 22,000 to 25,000; that the entire Republican state ticket has been elected by about 20,000; that seven Republican congressmen were chosen by decisive majorities; and that the Republicans have 111 members of the legislature on joint ballot, 74 in the house and 27 in the senate. The soldier vote in the Philippines will not be necessary to settle any contests, save possibly in the Third congressional fight. The Republican majorities everywhere are so decisive that the soldier vote cannot change the result. Michigan Congressmen. Detroit, Nov. 9.—The Republicans have increased their majority in the legislature on joint ballot by seven. Senator James McMillan's re-election by the next legislature is a certainty. The entire Michigan congressional delegation is Republican by largely increased majorities in most of the districts. In western Michigan, where it was expected the Republicans would suffer by reason of the loss of the Dutch vote, they have increased their majorities instead of losing. Congressman Miller. Topeka, Nov. 9. — Congressman Miller carried every county in the Fourth district. His estimated majority by counties follows: Osage, 150; Lyon, 150; Morris, *330*; Marion 800; Butler, 150; Greenwood, 200; Woodson, 300; Wabausee, 450; Chase, 50; Pottawatomie, 450; Coffey, 150. Total 3.205. A Single State Convention. Ardmore. I. T., Nov. 7.—A petition is prepared for circulation in both territories and if it be shown that a majority of the people favor such a convention, a call will be issued for a single state convention of about 500 delegates. South McAlester is the place now designated for holding this convention, and it is expected that the meeting will take place before Christmas. Leaders will meet soon for the purpose of outlining a plan of campaign work in connection weth this movement. Chinese Rising Premature. Hong Kong, Nov. 7.—Reports ay the East River rebels have moved up the riven. It is considered probable that the rebellion will shortly die out. The reformers admit that the rising was premature and that they had not a sufficient supply of arms. As the French demand the execution of the leaders in the Shek-Lung riots placards have been posted throughout the town urging the people to slaughter the foreigners if the demands are pressed. WICHITA, KANSAS. NOV. 10. 1900. TWENTY MILLION DOLLAR Law Suit Filed Involving Chic and Choc Lands. AGAINST LAND CLAIMANTS, South McAster, I. T., Nov. 8. There is filed in the United States court here a suit involving property and lands of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians valued at, approximately $20,000,000 and the citizenship claims for some 4,000 persons, commonly known as "court claimants." G. W. Dukes and D. H. Johnston, principal chief and govn rnr respectively of the Choctaws and Chickasaws, and some fifty other leading members of the tribes, including ex-Governor Green McCurtain, P. S. Mosley, William M. Guy, R. M. Harris, National Delegate J. S. Stanley and Holmes Colbert are the plaintiffs, and the Arnolds, the Brazells and all other court claimants are defendants. Under the act of June 10, 1896, these persons, it is stated, rushed into the Indian territory from the surrounding states and filed their applications for citizenship, and it is claimed by the tribes that in procuring the judgments upon which they rely they overwhelmed the courts with fraud, perjury and other irregularities. This suit is a bill in equity, praying that such decrees be declared void, and that these claimants be perpetually enjoined from seeking to enforce them against the property of the tribes, or from asserting any rights of citizenship. Latest New York Figures. New York, Nov. 9.—The official returns as received are not materially changing the state results and McKinley's plurality remains approximately 145,000 in the state. The Democratic nom nee for governor, ran ahead of his party's presidential electors, but Odell's plurality remains about 100,000. I seems probable that the congressional delegation from New York state will be 22 Republicans and 12 Democrats. A Republican gain of 5. Both houses of the state legislia ure are Republican by a large plurality. Ohio Congressmen. Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 9.—The largest previous plurality for president in Ohio was 60,000 for Lincoln. The total vote in Ohio was about 1,100,000, the largest ever cast in the state, and the vote for minor parties was smaller than usual. The Republicans carried all of the close or doubtful congressional districts, electing Jacob A. Beidler, in the Twentieth by less than 500; Robert M. Nevin, in the Third, by 121; an Emmett Tompkins, in the Twelfth, by a plurality of 16. Canadian County. El Reno, O. T., Nov. 9.—The election in Canadian county resulted in almost a clean sweep for the democratic legislative and county ticket. The only republicans elected were Tom R. Reid. who will go back to the legislature; A. A. Cosby who will succeed himself in the sheriff's office, and William S. Sitton, who was elected commissioner for the 3d district. Hon. Dennis T. Flynn's majority was cut down from 270 to 186. Joint Ballot in California San Francisco, Nov. 9.—The majority for McKinley and Roosevelt in California continues to grow and the indications are that it will reach 40, 000. The Republicans have elected all seven congressmen. The legislature is republican by a majority of 26. The state senate contains 33 Republicans and 7 Democrats. The assembly stands: Republicans 58; Democrats 22. Prof. Blake's Invention Lawrence, Nov. 7.—Prof. L. L Blake, of the electrical engineering department of the University of Kansas, has been granted four weeks' leave of absence for the purpose of carrying on experiments for the perfecting of a gold separating machine which he has recently invented. He will spend the time in the Colorado gold regions, where his machine is now being thoroughly tested in practical work. That Santa Fe Lumber Line. That Santa Fever Lumber Line. Topeka, Nov. 6.—The largest tract of forest now remaining in the United States is the long-leaf pine district in Southern Texas. The Gulf, Baumont & Kansas City railway, recently acquired by the Santa Fe system, runs through the heart of this great tract and derives an immense traffic from the numerous mills. The territory tributary to the Santa Fe system east of the Bocky mountrins and north of Texas is comparatively barren of forests, and the demand in this region for the Texas lumber is large and increasing.

It will be a long long time before a great political party in this country will a gain put up as its candidate for the presideucy a class agitator and an advocate of dishonest money. Bryanism, with all that name implies is dead. It will not be reserected. The Democratic party is as sick of it as the country is. In the midst of defeat thousands of Democratic leaders are thanking heaven that the party will no longer have to carry its load. Bryan was given all the rope he asked for and he has hanged himself most effectively. The death of Bryanism means the retirement of Bryan. The man is so closely identified with his platform that the two must go to gether. After two consecutive de feats of auch a sweeping character it would be a foolhardy party in deed that would consent to be led again by such a standard bearer. Even the most ardent admirers of the Nebraskan must acknowledge that his usefulness, as a leader, has gone. If left to his own choice, Bryan in all probability would continue his candicy and be the mill stone about the neck of his party for 4 more years. But it will not be left to his choice, and he probably has sagacity enough to know it. By Bryan and Bryanism being permanently overthrown, the Democratic party will have an opportunity to begin again and build anew. The process will necessarily be slow and arduous, but there are intelligent leaders who are willing and ready to undertake the work. In overthrowing Bryanism the American people—particular the business interest—have simply proceeded on the principle of self preservation. All business and industry have been menanced by the possibility of a Bryan victory. The feeling of relief at the result of the recent election is experienced in every avenue of commerce and throughout every branch of industry. Every cloud is lifted from the horizon and the bright sunshine of prosperity is dimmed by no dark shadows. VOL. 11. NO. 24 ANNUAL SGIVING LE. LINENS. Monday Nov. 12th. here,in the mean- window display STORE Cherryvale, Kas. One Colored man kills an- other. The Republican rally of Friday night was somewhat mared by the announcement of a murder that had been committed at the depot at Indepeudence on the arrival of the excursion train from that place. It seems that a prominent Colored man named Ed Langston, who had been employed about five yrs. by banker Guernsey of that place, had had some trouble with a disreputable Colored man named Walker during the parade there, which culminated in Walker sending a bullet through Langston's heart. Walker was arrested and is now in jail, as it has only been about a week since he tried to shoot his wife, it will go very hard for him. On the other hand,the dead man bore a good reputation,was a member of the Odd Fellows,and several other orders and was popular with both white and black. Mrs.Julia McBurgess came in from Iola to visit friends. G W.Parker and Elijah Landis attended the funeral of Ed Langston at Independence Sunday. A regular riot took place on the Coffeyville train that left here Friday night after the Republican rally. Several Colored men were badly bruised up. Even car windaws were broken and the train men were powerless to stop the fray. Too much "booze" was the cause. Geo.Everett aud Will Flake passed through the city enroute to St. Loufs. Tom Radcliff,Nath Landis, Joe Robinson and Mitchell Ha' is left MoTday ior Oswego. Quite a number from Independence and Coffeyville attended the Republican rally here Friday. Bud Robinson made a flying trip to Coffeyville Sunday. Quite a number attended the funeral of Ed Langston in Independence Sunday. Read The Searchlight! W. N. MILLER, Editor.

Kansas can accomplish what ever she undertakes. And she always gets what she wants and goes after," said Secretary ils on of president McKinley's cabinet, when in Topeka on his recent visit to Kansas. "The west is the seat of empire. The exposition should be held by all means so that the state's resources may be known. The site having been selected and the preliminary work started it now remains to make a pull and pull together to the big show a success. The different counties of the state should be organized for the work and the collection of exhibits begun at once I have no doubt whatever, that the exposition will be a great success and it should be, for Kansas is a state that does things.' Kansas Is Well Again While there is no surprise in the result in Kansas, there is immense gratification. The state which was formally rock-ribbed Republican seems to have returned to its old place with an emphasis which indicates a purpose to settle down and abide. The restless character of the Kasas people is well understood. It was this restlessness which caused them to become disatisfied with the old order of things and to strike out into new fields of experience. They tried Populism. They talked populism a great deal and voted very earnestly, but practiced it but a wee bit They framed laws based on its doctrines, but either failed to pass them or soon found that they were inoperative and void. Their contemplated reforms were mostly national in scope and character, consequently there was no chance to test them. Meanwhile the Republican party recovered control of the government and so outraged all Populist theories by restoring prosperity without the aid of any of their re forms that they were compelled to see their error. So Kansas has csst aside her isms and crankery and enrolled her name with a strong,bold hand in the list of commonwealths which make up the safe Republican colmn and is ready to go on for an indefinite time in the enjoyment of prosperity and a good conscience. Kansas may be escentric,but she is sound at the core.And she is going to grow and flourish within the next ten years as she never grew and flourished before.

MY HALF SISTER CHAPTER V.—(Continued.) "Oh, I know you think us the dirt beneath your feet!" he sneered, his face livid, as he twirled his little black moustache and glared at her with unwilling admiration. "We are nothing, no no; but it is that you win laugh, oh, yes! I snap my fingers at Reverton, for which we are not good enough; but they shall accept us, though they did not my amiable uncle, whom, I allow, you had no cause to love." "I shall certainly let all Reverton know if I am made unhappy here," she answered, with a sudden flash of comprehension, under which Henri winced. "For Mr. Barlowe, I had little cause to like him; but he is dead! he came to a terrible end! Have you any chance of discovering who killed him, or why?" So intent had they been in their conversation that they had been onlivious to the clang of the garden gate and the sound of wheels. As Mollis turned quickly to see Madame Dubois driving up, the horses lathered by their reckless speed, but well in hand, she did not notice that Henri's face had gone a sickly yellow, that the fingers holding a cigarette suddenly crushed it as in a vice. Madame looked from Mollis's flushed face, to her son's sullen, dark one, as she drew up, and her lips tightened; but the girl entered the house before her, and, once of sight, dashed to her own room What was she to do? she thought, as with clenched hands she paced her room. What could she do but keep her eyes open, and bear it? She was surprised to find that she was neither frightened nor dismayed; indeed, wondering more what Reggie would think if he knew—Reggie, whose blue eyes had given a sudden flash as that "Mollee" had caught his ear. Yet it was a matter of relief when madame appeared as usual at dinner, even making a little show of affection for her, though looking pale and distraught, while Henri was effusively polite. But nothing could prevent the evening being dreary and constrained, and as early as she could, she bade mother and son good night. At the far end of the large square hall was the handsome oak door of Mr. Barlowe's study, and she paused at the foot of the stairs to regard it with a felling akin to awe. What scene had that closed door witnessed 12 months ago that very night? What was the secret of Leonard Barlowe's tragic death? Well indeed it was for Mollie that the future is hidden from us; that she could not foresee the manner in which the truth would be revealed! As she went slowly up stairs the drawing room door opened suddenly and madame came out and walked swiftly across to the closed door, her usually stately step faltering and uneven, her face wild and haggard; but ere she had gone many yards Henri had slipped after her, caught her by the arm, and pulled her roughly back. "Let me go!" she cried excitedly. "Have you not tormented me enough?—you, for whom I have borne everything; you, whom I have shielded?" "There, don't make a fuss and rouse the place!" he said hoarsely. "For heaven's sake come back and calm yourself. What is the use of getting in a frenzy because an unfortunate event has happened in the house, and the servants say it is haunted? Come back, I say!" And the drawing room door closed again on their angry voices without either having perceived Mollie's presence on the stairs above. She went on to her room down the dimly-lighted corridors, for madame was economical in lights in some instances. There was a feeling of unrest and mystery abroad in the house tonight, more to be felt than described, which unconsciously influenced her. She wished she were not so young. How long it seemed since she had left her peaceful German life behind, and been plunged into a sea of difficulties; yet she would not have gone back. Unbidden rose the thought that there was no Reggie in Hanover. She took her Bible and read a chapter, trying to fix her thoughts on the Easter day that would soon dawn, the day our Lord rose from the dead. The warm old dressing gown in which she was wrapped accentuated the brightness of her hair, and her lovely face showed sweet and thoughtful in the gas light, but as she closed the book it was with a sigh that she put her elbows on the toilet table and dropped her white chin into them. All the evening her thoughts had been back with her mother—remembering her corrobs and sufferings—and yet there kept running in her mind a so the words she had just read, "Love your enemies." Ah! how impossible it seemed; to how many more than poor little Mollie has it appeared too hard a precept to follow! But she struggled for it, asking help from above to forgive Leonard Barlowe, and endeavor to live in peace with her relatives, returning good for evil. A hasty rattling at the door handle, Kate's voice screaming, roused her, and, running to open it, the child almost fell against her, her thin little face colo:less, her tiny hands grasping, as if for dear life, at the folds of her dressing gown. "Let me stay with you, dear, dear Mollie!" she sobbed and sighed. "I cannot—cannot stop alone; I should die!" It was terrible to see the nervous excitement, the fear that shook the child from head to foot, and as Mollie caught her up she only remembered that she was her mother's baby, the little sister she had tried to love. Shutting the door, she carried her to the window, pausing to wrap a rug round her, for she was in her small night gown, just as she had jumped out of bed, and shivering violently. "Yes, yes, you shall stay with me," she said soothingly, in her round, soft voice. "But what is the matter? Where are Jane and Harriet?" "Jane has gone; she said she was not going to stay in this house tonight for anything we could offer her. She just got the gardener's boy to take her box after dark, and went. I don't know what Aunt Clare will say, and harriet will not sleep in my room without her." "What! they both slept there?" "Yes, because of the strange noises and—and things. I woke up and called out, and when I got up and felt Harriet was not there, and her thanke's were gone, my heart seemed to stop beating—I could not breathe. All I thought of was you; I should be sae' if I could get to you. Something passed me in the passage; I felt it brushing against me. It was a ghost, wasn't it?" And she cowered down into Mollie's arms, a pitiful object indeed. Kate was almost beside herself, and it was long ere Mollie could calm her agitation. Inwardly the sister's heart burned with wrath against the two malds, who in their own ignorant fear had left this highly-strung child alone at such a time, after the shock of the preceding year. Seriously alarmed, she rubbed the icy little hands and feet, talking cheerfully the while, and then rocked to and fro, until the breathing grew quieter, and the flaxen head lay still on her shoulder, whi e she hummed the old lullaby which had sounded in her own drowsy ears when she was a little child. "Mother sang that," Kate said, suddenly looking up with a faint smile. "When I found I was alone, I said aH I could remember of my prayers—'Our Father' over and over again." "I am glad of that," replied Mollie simply. "I feared you did not, Kate." "I am a Freethinker in the daytime; but at night in the dark, when I am frightened, I always say all I can think of," said the child, with quaint innocence, all the self-importance knocked out of her for the moment by terror. She listened very quietly when Mollie tried to show her that this was wrong, and then her thoughts went back to the last Easter eve, and she spoke of her father. "It was very cold—oh, very!" she said reflectively. "He took me out in the dogcart, and I cried with the cold, so he was cross. I did not know he was going to die, you see, or I would have tried not to." "But you loved him. Kate?" "Pretty well," she responded truthfully, for she had not words to express what she was sharp enough to know—that her father had cared for her for what she had represented to him. "When I went to the study to say good night to him, he called out he was busy, so I went away. Next morning when I awoke the snow was thick, and I heard screams and shrieks, so I jumped out of bed and ran to the top of the stairs and looked down, and all the servants were there at the study door, looking in and wringing their hands, and crying, and Aunt Clare, with her hair streaming about, calling out that they must get a doctor and send for Henrli. I went further down the stairs and asked what was the matter, and they shrieked more, and said: 'Take the child away!' But I would not go until nurse caned me, and she told me my father was dead. I asked what made him die, and she said: 'Want of breath.' And then heaps of people came, and there was a bequest." "Inquest," corrected Mollie, with a shiver, the little girl's words bringing the whole scene before her with startling vividness; then, as she felt that Kate was again shuddering in her arms, she added: "But we will not think of it any more." "I can't help it!" she moaned, trembling. "Something in black has glided up and down the passage ever since. That door is heard to open and shut when every one is in bed. All the servants know this, and won't stay. Ask them." "Oh, Kate, this is really nonsense!" Mollie exclaimed in horror; then, drawing back the blind she pointed to the still, quiet night without, where the soft breeze was sighing through the budding tree, the moon riding serene in the dark blue sky above. "And see, even the weather is different this year. Look at the beautiful world God has given us to live in! And if we are good He will certainly take care of us; we need fear nothing. Why, even a little sparrow cannot fall to the ground but what He sees it; and we are His children, whom the Lord Christ came to save." Kate drank in her words with a look of old intelligence that made her seem as if she had never been a child. But as Mollie put her into bed, two slight arms were suddenly flung round the soft white throat, and she whispered with passionate fervor: "Oh, I am glad—I am awfully glad that God has given me you for a sister, Mollie." But long after the little one had fallen asleep, Mollie sat by her, thinking, thinking—what did it all mean? CHAPTER VI. Who had killed Leonard Barlowe? For days Mollie pondered over the question, and another one that would keep coming back to her—had the DaBois any private knowledge that not been published to the world? They must have known more of Mr. Barlowe, his past life and enemies, than any outsider could possibly do. Henri had hated his uncle, she knew, yet surely he had had n' hand in sending him out of the world; that could not be the meaning of madame's wild words! That he was cold-blooded and cynical to a degree about everything save himself was clear; but it was incredible that he could have committed such a crime undetected; besides, Kate said that he had been in London at the time. She thrust the thought from her, and determined to try and think no evil—a good resolution put to a very hard test when she discovered that her freedom was gone, and that madame was always making slighting remarks upon the Anstruthers, implying that Mrs. Anstruther was a worldly mother, who had engaged her daughter to a rich man, and was now seeking an heirress for her son. About this latter, indeed, she shook her head ominously; she had heard tales of him—he was a terrible firt, or worse. It was in vain Mollie protested hotly that the young naval officer to whom Joyce was engaged was far from rich; that she had never heard a word against Reggie, that Mrs. Anstruther was kindness itself and had loved her mother. Madame nodded her handsome dark head mysteriously, and said her dear Mollie was very young and innocent, and all young men were not like Henri, so good and wise and trustworthy. Certainly she had plenty of opportunity of discovering these virtues in Henri, had they existed for he spent the greater part of his time hanging about her, and she grew heartily tired of him and the tales of his gay Parisian life. Why did he not return to it? she thought wearily. Why did he stay on here, rolling his black eyes at her sentimentally, and pretending that Reverton was now more to him than Paris? "It is because I am an heiless," she thought wrathfully, when he had accompanied her to the Anstruthers, and kept so close to her that she had been unable to have the good grumble to Joyce that would have relieved her pent-up feelings. "Oh, this hateful money! My mothers' life was ruined for it, and they would ruin mine. But I am not so gentle as she; and madame will find that I have a will of my own. I think she suspects it, for sometimes I see her eyes fixed on me with such a strange expression. God forgive me if I wrong them; but somehow I mistrust them utterly." (To be continued.) Made Some Queer Wagers Gen. Francis V. Greene's story of the queer bet made by officers at Gettysburg recalls other strange wagers. Harmon, at the Stanwix hotel, in Detroit, several years ago, bet he could hold his head submerged in a bathtub for 125 seconds without taking air. He won. In Philadelphia some years ago a gentleman made a wager of $100 that he could jump into water eight feet deep and undress himself complete. Any one who has ever made the attempt to remove his clothing after being thoroughly drenched to the skin, even when standing on terra firma, with plenty of room to "hop around on one leg," will at once realize the difficulty of accomplishing the feast while in the water. However, it was done in the instance noted. A chap named Curtis in Berkshire county, Massachusetts, for a wager of a horse, ran five miles in forty-one minutes, and wound up the race with a jump of eleven feet six inches. An Englishman named Head won $5,000 by walking 600 miles in ten days, but the exertion so used him up that he never walked much afterward, either on wagers or otherwise.—New York Telegraph. To Mount Photos on G'ast To mount photos on glass proceed follows: Soak four ounces of gelatine in cold water for half an hour, then place in a glass jar, adding sixteen ounces of water; put the jar in a large dish of warm water and dissolve the gelatine. When dissolved pour into a shallow tray. Have your prints rolled on a roller, albumen side out; take the print by the corners and pass rapidly through the gelatine, taking great care to avoid air bubbles. Hang up with clips to dry, and when dry squeeze carefully on to the glass. The better the quality of the glass the faces the effect. Knights of Pythias.

Not long ago an Arizona rancher posted the following notice on a cottonwood tree, not far from his place of abode. "My wife Sarrah has left my ranch when I didn't Do a Thing Too her, and I want it distinctly understood that any Man as takes her in and Keers for her on my account will get himself Pumped so Full of Led that some tender not will locate him for a mineral claim. A word to the wise is sufficient and orter work on fools." The Chinese Situation. The cause for the present Chinese entanglements is the abuse of the Chinese immigrants by the foreign powers.

Mrs. Jack Astor of New York and Newport is regarded as a veritable mascot by the yachtsmen of the seaboard. She has an unbroken line of yacht-sailing victories to her credit and is in great demand by the skippers of the thirty-footers at present. The finish of a race is a foregone conclusion when Mrs. Astor steps aboard. Mrs. Astor braved the elements one day last week in the race for the cup offered by Harry Payne Whitney. Gowned in a natty costume of black, with the ends of a white feather boa about her neck streaming out in the fresh breeze, she made a beautiful picture. There was quite a sea on the outside, but the little races made better weather of it than the seventies, and Mrs. Astor added to her triumphs MRS. JACK ASTOR. by bringing victory to the Pollywog, which was sailed by Mr. Whitney's brother-in-law, Almeric Hugh Paget.

Peck of Chicago, commissioner general to the Paris exposition, has renounced her titled foreign suitors. She is true to her early determination to wed an American. The engagement was announced last week in Dayton, Ohio, of Miss Peck and William A. Simms of Chicago. MISS ARLINE PECK. The family will return from Paris in December, and it is expected that the exquisite lingerie, gowns, hats and cloaks, which are piling up in Miss Peck's Parisian trunks, are to be part of her trousseau, and that the wedding will take place shortly after their return. It seems to be the growing fashion in the smart set for the sisters of one family to marry the brothers of another. Miss Peck's elder sister is the wife of Mr. Charles Simms, a brother of William.

Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed To Cure or Money Refunded by Your Merchant, so WhyNot Try It? Price 50c Me Lived a Man and Died the Death of a Hero. My life as a cabin boy on board of the Saracen was a hard one. The Saracen was a fine steam packet of the early days, which carried the mall between New York and Liverpool. She took first and second cabin passengers, immigrants and a general cargo. It was my first experience as a sailor, and I ooessed that it did not come up to my expectations. Every one seemed to take the greatest pleasure in abusing me and making my life miserable generally. I was kicked and ordeed about f om morning until night. Every menial vice that could be thought of I was made to do. My greatest tormentor was the second mate, a man named Douglass. He was a good sailor, but by mature he was a brute, a coward and a bully When we arrived at Liverpool my work from experience had become easier, and, as the men were fully employed on other matters than bothering me, I began to take some sort of interest in life. One of the crew, deserting, was replaced by a man named savage, who was a big, powerful fellow, with an honest, upright face that attracted everybody who met him. Somehow he took a fancy to me and after that nobly but the second mate ever abused me, and by dint of caution I managed to avoid him very successfully. We soon had our cargo below the hatchers and after dropping down the stream the tender brought off the passengers and we got under way, homeward bound. We had an ordinary, uneventful passage until we arrived off the Grand banks, where we ran into a dense fog and the weather beca'ed cool. The fog was so thick that it seemed as if we were sailing in the clouds and the moisture dropped from aloft like rain. A restless and oppressive feeling seemed to till the air, and the passengers and crew paced silently up and down the decks, pausing every now and then as if they had heard some strange sound. Why we should have been so affected is more that I can explain. I was standing on deck and Savage was passing me, when he stopped and said: "I think there are bergs around. Don't you feel it getting colde?" I had felt it, and was asking him questions about bergs, when the look-outs both cried, "Starboard, sir! Ice ahead!" Before the ship could answer her helm, I saw an immense shape to white towering high above us, and the next minute we crashed into a solid mass of ice, which looked like a mountain. The shock was terrific and dislodged a huge fragment, which fell crashing through our decks, and we heard the rush of the water, as the vessel began to fill and sink with incredible rapidity. As soon as they could collect themselves every one rushed to the boats. Savage and I managed to crowd into the second cutter. She was soon lowered away, and we shovee off and lay to a little distance from the ship. We were packed in so tightly that it was next to impossible to even turn around, and the gunwae were barely awash. I found that Mr. Douglas had charge of the boat, and my heart sank with fear. We saw two other boats get away before the Saracen throwing her stern high in the air, and amid a great rush of water, sank from our sight. One of the other boats was caught in the vortex and swamped, throwing the occupants into the water. The suction drew our boat in among them. Those who could grasped our gunwales and endeavored to climb aboard, but Mr. Douglas drove them back with bumps from the tiller, and cursing us for our clumsiness bade us get out the oars. The boat was so greatly crowded that this was difficult to accomplish, but after a good deal of trouble we managed to ship them, and had already taken a stroke when the gunwale was grasped by a woman holding a child in her arms. Mr. Douglas, with an oath, hit her with the tiller, but, although she groaned from the pain, she still hung on with a grip like death. He raise the tiller to hit her again when Savage stood up from his oar, saying: "Hold on. sir she can have my place," and without another word he slid overboard, and had moved the woman in among us, before we had recovered from our astonishment. As he swam away I call him to come back, but he only turned and waved his hand, and while we were gazing after him he disappeared in the fog. The sea remained calm and the next morning we were picked up by the bark Mohasset and landed in Philadelhia. Savage was never heard of again. He must have perished, but he dled a hero and like many others who have performed the noblest deeds that man can do he is utterly unknown. — Leut. J. H. Scott, U. S. R. M., in romance. If you are in a hurry avoid the train of thought. Why do people have best clothes? They always look better in their every day ones. When Senator Frye was at Rangeley Lake, Me., a native approached him and said: "Mr. Frye, I am puzzled to know whether I should call you Mr. Frye or Senator Frye." "Well," replied the Maine statesman, "if I were in Washington my friends would probably say, 'Good morning, Senator,' but plain Bill is good enough up here." Hand Organ Censor. Boston has an annual hand organ recital. On a certain day all the hand organs in the city are gathered at one place, and each organ grinder in turn plays for the benefit of the censor. If the music is up to the Boston standard a license is granted to the organ grinder; if it be of the wheezy, squeaky variety, he gets no license.
