It was a grand affair and Home Lodge No. 2906 and Household of Ruth, No. 912 under whose auspices the sermon was conducted, did themselves much credit. They were out in grand numbers. The sermon was preached by Rev. H. F. Frazier, pastor of the New Hope Baptist church, who preached an elequent and instructive sermon. After th sermon, James L. Harper, D. G. M., made a few appropriate remarks. Their ceremony was good Tomorrow [Sunday] is the day set apart for the big rally at the New Hope Baptist church. Rev. Frazier desires to make this one of the grandest that has ever been there. He invites you to come down and take a part in the grand affair Go down and do your duty. The colored man who is alway harping about his "fluence wid de whi' folks" and his "poplarity" among the the colored people in a political way as a "ie'dr" should take the lesson of the proud peacock, "look at himself and his feathers would fall. Ofcourse there are none so simple in Wichita. Major Taylor, the colored cyclist and champion of America, is creating quite a sensation in England by his marvelcus and unsurpassable riding He has won many English races, and is now pitted against the best men there. He has well proven his right to be called the champion of America and England. The Topeka high school has purchased a statue of Diana. There are eleven cases of measles in one family in Harper county. Judge George W. McKay, of Harper county, is going to move into Oklahoma. 19 South Main St TON's-It pays.

Some men when they are candidate for some political office, will meet you and almost "talk your head off' but, oh my! after the campaign is over, they don't know you A list of these "campaign friends" should be kept to be used when such tellows bob up again for some thing. A fellow like that should never be put in public office and, if he should "happen" to get in should be hustled out at the first opportunity. We are not asleep, if we are not saying much. Items appear in all parts of Kansas about the large number of buggies and carriages that are being sold for cash to farmers. The New York dailies are airing a list of Kansas millionaires when it is probably true that Kansas hasn't one of them. Dr. Boyakin is coroner of Marshall county at the age of 93. He claims to be the oldest veteran of the civil war in Kansas. The trial of Jessie Morrison is the first on the docket of the term of court in El Dorado, which commences on June 11. Station A, of the Wichita postoffice has been established on the West Side in Wichita. Another carrier is added to the force. Colonel A. A. Harris, once a prominent lawyer at Fort Scott, died at Duluth, Minn. May 13. He had lived there since 1893. Among the causes for the great demand for dwelling houses in Wichita not the least is the enlargement of the two great packing houses there. Class color troubles continue in the colleges. The latest reported, from Winfield, resulted in five double black eyes and two cases in the police court. ENTERTAINED. Sunday afternoon a birthday party was given at the home of Mrs. S. E. Johnson, 323, N. Santa Fe, in honor of the 10th birthday, of Miss Mary Johnson. Those present were: Misses, Hattie Buford, Gasel Tucker, Ellen Miller, Laura Thomas, Frora Thomas, Mary Buford, Lillian Alexander. After music, a delightful repast was spread for the happy merry-makers. --- The great Russian pianist, Ossif Gabrielomitsch, is a recent interview in the Chicago Chronicle, has the following good word for the musical genius of the Negro. "One thing I can not understand," he said, running his fingers through his hair, "is the manner in which the American people regard the Negro. In my country my country we had slavery long before it was introduced into the United States, but with its abolition all feelings of caste vanished and today the sons of former serfs are eligible, if they are fitted, to the positions of highest trust in the nation, and we are not regarded as a republic, either. "Then, again, the colored man is superior to the white man in one way. He is a born musician. I have always found that music is nearly always the expression of the highest intellectuality, and the Negro is really one the first musicians in the world. His ear is true and his songs are beautiful, appealing to the senses as perhaps but few compositions of other races do. His songs are not savage or barbaric, but some of them are really grand in their conception." --- A number of prominent Negroes of Mississippi are making strenuous efforts to establish a large cotton factory. The project is being advocated by Wea'thy Negroes who say they are willing to put their money into it. They declare that the colored man's home is in the South where he was born and where he is best appreciated for what he is worth. KANSAS ITEMS OF INTEREST. A 56% pound catfish was caught in the Verdigris at Neodesha. Wichita has thirty-three passenger trains daily and all of them are usually full of people. Fred Beauchamp, a farmer in Pawnee county, died of heart disease while milking in his barnyard. The Medicine Lodge Odd Fellows have decided to surrender their charter; an extremely rare thing. The Kansas State Bankers' association will hold the 14th annual convention at Lawrence on May 28-29. The Union Pacific ballastling, working from the east, will probably be finished to Salina obout May 25. A large number of grafters were run out of Oklahoma City last week, the most of them coming into Kansas. There is a great demand for the session laws, but up to date the printer has been able to supply only the state officers. Nearly $5,000 has been expended within the last year on fruit trees for the different charitable institutions of the state. VOL.11.

Wichita first, last and all the time. Encourage home enterprise among our people here, then we can spread abroad. When you help the city you live in, you are helping yourself. Give us a race man who believes in "Home Interprises." Is race unity an irredescent dream? A man who will be a man is a man among men.

It is something that is badly needed in our city and will do much good to assist the young mind to take the right course in life. We wish her much success.

They want to "be white" and act "as white men act," talk "as white men talk," walk "as white men walk" so bad, that they were, unfortunately for the colored race born colored; and in all likelihood, when they die the colored race will be one "shy." Possibly, however, the world will not become overbalanced because of his absence upon it. --- Chetopa, Kansas Mrs. Rose Colman, of Vinita stopped over Sunday.

FIGHT FOR ARKANSAS RIVER FIGHT FOR ARKANSAS RIVER Now Being Argued in the United States Supreme Court. RIPARIAN RIGHTS ARGUED. Washington, May 15.—The long talked of suit on the part of the state of Kansas against the state of Colorado to enjoin the latter state from the diversion of the waters of the Arkansas river, has begun in the United States supreme court. The case was originally in the supreme court because of its interstate character. Assistant Attorney General West of Kansas, and Attorney General Post of Colorado are conducting the case. Mr. West declared that the Arkansas traversed the state of Kansas for 310 miles, and that 100,000 people owning 2,500,000 acres of land are affected by the appropriation of the waters of the stream for irrigation purposes. He claimed protection for residents of Kansas under the common law guaranteeing riparian rights. He asserted that Colorado claims the right to divert the water, whence it never returns to the river, thus appropriating all the water which nature had intended should flow down the Arkansas valley. Mr. West claimed that in consequence of this diversion the health of man and beast is injuriously affected; that the cities on the Arkansas are deprived of water for sewerage, and that in reality the rich valley is transformed into a desert. Attorney General Post responded by calling attention to the fact that the ditch owners of Colorado had not been made parties to the case and that the Arkansas river in Kansas is not a navigable stream. He said that no riparian ownership rights ever were exercised or recognized in Colorado and also calls attention to the fact that when some of the Colorado rights were acquired the territory now embraced in that state was a part of Kansas territory. He said each state had the right to utilize its own waters for the benefit of its own people. Ex-Governor Thomas, of Colorado, who has been employed as special counsel on behalf of that state in the case, was present as was Platt Rogers, representing the Colorado ditch owners. The Santa Fe's Advance Topeka, May 16.—The advance in wages made by the Santa Fe gives to all skilled mechanics formerly receiving under $3 a day an advance of 25 cents per day more than heretofore, and to those receiving $3, an increase of 10 cents per day. Gang bosses also receive an increase of 25 cents per day. The committee of machinists speak highly of the treatment which they have received. "Our treatment has been very courteous," said one of the members. "We had no wrangles; whenever we came to a place where we were not together we just talked it over and finally came to an understanding. We found it a pleasure to meet such men as we dealt with." The advance in all the mechanical departments is effective from May 1. Good Rains in Oklahoma. Guthrie, Okla., May 15.—The three weeks' drouth that has prevailed in Central Oklahoma is broken by a heavy rain, lasting five hours. It came in time to save the wheat, but oats will make a poor yield. Corn and cotton are in fine condition. The rain covered five counties. Waukomis.—A heavy all day rain has fallen here. Reports show that the rain was general in the entire Rock Island Belt. Wellington, Kas.—A good rain here. Reports from the territory say that there were hard rains at Enid, Oklahoma City, El Reno, Norman and Guthrie. Smallpox Condition In Kansas Topeka, May 14.—Dr. Swan, secretary of the state board of health, has issued a bulletin showing that there were, on April 30, 1,082 cases of smallpox in Kansas, with five deaths during the month. On March 31 there were 1,612 cases, with eight deaths during the month. Of the cases reported for April half were in Cherokee, Crawford, Phillips and Sedgwick counties. No Prize Fights in Michigan Grand Rapids, Mich., May 14.—Governor Bliss has forwarded positive orders to the sheriffs to prevent the Martin-Childs prize fight scheduled for this city for tonight. The promoters were confident of pulling off the fight, placing a great deal of reliance on the passage by the legislature of a bill permitting ten-round boxing contests in Michigan. Can Pay Out in Thirty Years. Pekin, May 16.—The answer of China to the statement of the ministers of the foreign powers as to the losses sustained by nations and individuals in China has been received. The answer commences with an appeal for mercy, saying that the country is impoverished. The answer explains that the utmost China can offer is $10,000,000 annually for the next 30 years. The ministers refuse to discuss this answer until it has been considered by them in meeting.

The wonderful success of his cures proves that the simple common sense remedies he employed were right. His theory was to go direct to the seat of the trouble and apply the simplest form of remedy there. The McLean way of reaching the trouble, which has stood the test of a half century of practice, is to move directly to the evil to quickly relieve suffering. practical method of going direct to the evil to quickly relieve suffering.

AND HIS "TUMMY"! Small boys, and many times large ones, and occasionally girls, too, big and little, suffer terribly from convulsive pains or "cramps" in the bowels and stomach—pain so violent that it "doubles up" the ones attacked, and makes it impossible for them to stand up. Some people call it colic, but most honest, plain-spoken people call it "belly-ache" and very properly, for the seat of the trouble is in the bowels, and caused by the violent efforts of the bowels to rid themselves of something which doesn't belong there. The small boy usually gets it from over-eating or from eating forbidden fruit, and suffers mostly in the summer time. It's spring now, and "in times of peace, prepare for war." Let the boys and girls and the big folks, too, for that matter, clean out the clogged channels filled with winter b.e and putrid undigested food, strengthen the 30-feet of bowel canal, liven up the liver, and "summer belly-ache" will have no terrors, because they won't make the body ache-proof is to use CASCAR system cleaners and bowel strengtheners.

Though Vice may don the judge's govn, And play the censor's part. And Fact be cowed by Falsehood's frown, And Nature ruled by Art; Though Labor toils through blinding tears And idle Wealth is might. I know the honest, earnest years Will bring it all out right. Though poor and loveless creeds may pass For pure religion's gold; Though ignorance may rule the mass, While truth meets glances cold, I know a law complete, sublime, Controls us with its might, And in God's own appointed time It all will come out right. —ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Ultimatum.

Co. of the various companies working in Mill Valley phosphate lands, the most popular among the employees was of Thomas & Jay—a fact chiefly up to the kindly deptartment and just one of its members. Walter Thomas, a junior partner, had gone from hey to Mill Valley and purchased considerable tract, and as it proved in phosphates, he was soon on road to fortune. A few months earward he had sold an interest to who was in needy circumstances, through a capable business man. The scream in which the partners were was especially demonstrated during the first strike of the laborers— week of rioting, called Black Week some of the companies; for Thomas Jay's men remained at work in spite every effort made to bring them A few days before Black Week Thomas announced that he was going to claim a month off, averring that he needed a change. "That's all right, of course," said me. "But I trust your health is not failing, Waldo?" "No," replied the latter. "There are rumors that many of the men are satisfied with the scale of wages; so you think you can get along by yourself if they go out?" I think I can. The truth is, I have no fears as to the course of our employees. I trust you will return re-renewed, so to speak." There was something in his part- A The Colonel protested. her's tone that caught the attention of Thomas. He looked up and noted a stroll look on his friend's features. "Come, now," said Thomas, slightly irritated, "what is the meaning of that horrible look?" "Is it horrible?" Jay laughed. "It was intended for a look of commiseration. Look here, Waldo—I'm on! Will you consider me presumptuous if I volunteer a little advice?" "What is it?" was as much as Thomas would agree, drawing at his finger with unusual energy. "Appeal to Miss Lovell's fear, if reasoning accomplishes nothing," beamed Jay. "I do not always sation --- --- An the methods of young Lochinvar—but old Colonel Lovell's objections to those who seek his daughters in marriage has become chronic. At least, in this case, he has no right to object. I suggest for once a run-away match." Jay had correctly surmised the cause of his friend's discontent. Love affairs are more difficult to be kept secret than the schemes of armies. All the parties concerned were residents of Sibley, and the unsuccessful wooing of Thomas was known and discussed by the gossips, though the young man was blissfully ignorant of the talk. Thomas was handsome, prosperous in his present undertaking, if he had not been before in other enterprises, and was the soul of honor. He had, however, at least two reasons for believing in the assertion of Joaquim Miller, that— "I tell you that love is the bitterest sweet. That ever laid hold on the heart of a man." One was that Colonel Lovell was unalterably opposed to his marriage to his daughter, Mary; the other was that Mary, while confessing her love for Thomas, was averse to becoming his wife without the consent of her father. Two of Coonel Lovell's daughters had been compelled to elope, for their lovers met no favor in his eyes. His wife considered them with more favor, and when she asked him timorously why he opposed them, had to put up with the reply, "Just because I am, and that's sufficient." The truth was that Thomas was in need of a little advice at the time his partner made his suggestion. Like a drowning man, ready to grasp a straw, he listened with patience to Jay, now that the subject had been mentioned. He very naturally asked: "What do you mean by appealing to the young lady's fear?" "Simply this: Tell her with all the resolution you can command that you propose asking her but once more to listen to love and reason; and that if she remains obdurate, you are going away with the firm determination to forget her. I am quite sure this will bring her around—she's a woman, you know! Then when she consents, let the next thing be a wedding before the old man can change her by appeal or threat." Thomas felt that this was the dernier resort, and he would adopt it. If it should fail, he would be in no worse condition than at present. He accordingly repaired to Sibley. While there vacillating between his resolve and trepidation, and almost decided to press his suit no farther, he received this letter from his partner: "The men have gone out on their threatened strike at last—that is to say, all save ours. An ugly feeling prevails. The companies are trying to get other laborers by train, but the strikers declare they shall not work the phosphate beds if they come. I fear trouble. Both sides are equally determined, but the sheriff appears to be in sympathy with the laborers. Have you delivered that ultimatum yet? Be sure that you do not let your courage ooze out at the last moment. It is sure to work. "WILLIAM M. JAY." This decided Thomas. He had an interview with Miss Lovell at once which must have proved satisfactory, for that evening he wired his partner as follows: "Will arrive by 4 o'clock train, or at latest by 4:40. Have Rev Whitman at City Hotel." Jay smiled, notwithstanding the seriousness of the labor situation, and went about putting things in readiness; then waited impatiently for the earliest train. It was delayed, for it was crowded with laborers coming to take the place of the strikers, and there came nigh being a wreck at one place. At last the 4 o'clock train hove in sight, but just behind was also the 4:40. What if Colonel Lovell had learned of the elopement and followed on the latter? The mob of miners surrounded both trains, and refused to let any one get out. There was a great hubbub, and it was made worse as men in charge of the laborers succeeded in breaking through the cordon of miners. There were two or three shots fired, and, rushing to the window, Thomas saw that Colonel Lovell had got out of the hindmost train and was making frantic efforts to reach the one in which he and Miss Lovell were. The old gentleman was very red in the face, and he was not using the choiceest language as the strikers endeavored to check his advance. After the report of firearms sounded, Thomas heard the sheriff demanding to know who had made matters worse by such a resort to violence. "See that old gentleman yonder with the long gray hair and side-whiskers?" said Thomas quickly, directing the sheriff toward Colonel Lovell. "He is the man most to blame; arrest him, and I think comparative quiet can be secured." The sheriff rushed off and seized the colonel. The latter protested, but his protests were ignored. He was dragged off by a deputy at the suggestion of the sheriff, and was soon out of sight; though before he disappeared he shook his fist at Thomas, who knew by that that he had been seen, and that the sheriff had in all probability given the name of his accuser to the old gentleman in durance vile. Late that evening, while Thomas and his bride were sitting in the parlor of the City Hotel, Colonel Lovell came in in custody of an officer. He had recovered from his rage, and there was a grim smile on his face. "The fool sheriff does not seem to A "The sheriff doesn't seem to know me!" know me," he said. "I guess, Thomas, you will have to become bond for my appearance before the magistrate tomorrow. I don't want to pass the night in jail!" Took Him at Him Word. A Chicagoan tells a most amusing story of an incident in the experience of a newspaper friend of his. The friend was city editor of a great daily, and in the course of his manifold duties it fell to his lot to take to task one of his reporters. The reporter in question was an Englishman, slow of thought and action and miserly of speech. Through the tirade to which he was subjected he said nothing, and when it finally ended he left the presence of his superior without any comment. But, as the result proved, he did some tall thinking. City editors when "riled," as is well known are not particularly choice or economical in the language they bestow on their unfortunate reporters, and among other things the Englishman had been told that he was no better than—in fact, was—a crazy man, and that his proper habitat was a lunatic asylum and not the hall bedroom of a Chicago boarding house, which he occupied. The Englishman took his part of the city editor's remarks as his text and acted upon them. He promptly went to an asylum, had himself thoroughly examined by three or four alienists, and secured from them an official certificate to the fact that he was sane. With this he appeared at the office of his paper the next day, and, entering the city editor's sanctum, he slapped it down before his astonished and dismayed superior. "Now, you go and get one," was his only comment, and for once that city editor capitulated. Father and Son Are Kings. By a curious chance, George, the second son of the king of Denmark, has reigned for a longer period than his father has over his native kingdom. George having been elected king of the Hellenes in March, 1863, while King Christian did not ascend the throne until six months later.

Do you pretend to be wiser than the whole country side?" "By no means, my love." "Well, every one says the place is full of ghosts!" "Yes, my dear." "What every one says must be true." Mr. Magnum did not dare to say no. "And so the place is haunted," replied his better half, triumphantly. "Ugh! I would not live in that old house for the whole world," said Kitty, shrugging her shoulders. "Does Mr. Cowley like it?" asked Mrs. Magnum. Mr. Magnum coughed and looked embarrassed. "My dear, Mr. Cowley is a very peculiar man—very. I am afraid he generally does what he likes, without consulting his wife." "And she lets him?" exclaimed Mrs. Magnum, shutting her lips, viciously. "I am afraid she does." "Well, if women will be fools, they must. But I only wish I was Mrs. Cowley! Do you feel tired, Miss Marjorie? You don't look quite well." "I am rather tired," replied the governess, very quietly. "Then pray don't sit up longer than you like." Miss Marjorie took the hint, put away her work, said good-night, and left the room. Two pairs of eyes followed her with anything but loving looks. "Nasty, proud thing! I hate her!" said Kitty, in a low tone. "And so do l!" replied her mother, with emphasis. "But she will be going next month, so we need not trouble ourselves about her." Miss Marjorie did not, however, go to her own room. She took a cloak from its peg in the hall, threw it over her head, opened the front door softly, and went out. Mrs. Magnum would have been shocked out of all her propriety if she had seen her pacing up and down the garden walks alone; but just at that moment Miss Marjorie cared little for Mrs. Magnum, or anything she could say. The night was dark and starless, the air chill and raw. But after that heated room it was a positive luxury to feel the fresh, damp wind coming from the hills. After those sharp, unnerving voices it was soothing to listen to the leafless trees breathing and whispering of the coming of the rain. Storm and cold and darkness—they were all preferable to that snug parlor and its disagreeable inmates; and so Miss Marjorie paced up and down, up and down, and thought. Thought of another time which had been far happier than this! A time when she was also a companion, but not Miss Magnum's companion! A time when there was one voice that always softened when it spoke her name; when there were eyes that brightened at her coming—lips that welcomed her as only privileged lips might do! She thought of long, pleasant evenings, spent with books and work, music, around a cottage fire. Of quiet walks and talks by summer moonlight. Alas! where had those blissful moments fled? Why had the dearest, the sweetest of ties failed her? Why, from that wealth of love and tenderness had she been cast out into the cold world alone? She had been fouly slandered; she had been cruelly distrusted; she had been heartlessly deserted! Over and over again she said this to herself. Yet on that night, as she walked up and down the gravel path, the sense of injury and of wrong seemed to die away and in their place came a wild yearning for the olden time—but for one moment of the happiness of yore! "Oh, that it were possible In this dull life of pain, To find the arm of my true love Around me once again!" Around me once again! she murmured, as she clasped her hands above her aching heart. Where was he? What was he doing now? Beautiful and bright, he had risen like a star above her lonely path; had won her heart, and worn it for a time; had bound her to him by the most sacred ties; then left her for years, perhaps forever! Where was he—where was he? And she stretched out her arms to the sullen night sky in her vain and passionate appeal to him who would come no more. The sky grew darker. A drop of rain touched her cheek. She turned to go in, yet, with a strange, uneasy feeling, she lingered a moment beside the gate looking out upon the dark road that led into the village. Then her eyes wandered away beyond Banley, and out towards the hill where the haunted house stood. How strange the unseen and unacknowledged link that bound her to the people there! What would they say when she went to them and told her tale? Would they think her mad or would they take compassion upon her for the sorrow she had undergone, and admit her to their family circle as a welcome and honored guest? Was it likely? Had they ever heard her name? Yet how well she knew theirs; and how much she could tell of their daily life and "By no means. my love." "Yes, my dear." "No—I think not." "Then why does she stay?" CHAPTER VIII "Oh, that it were possible habits, from the stern banker down to his favorite daughter, Rose! "Cousin Rose! Cousin Rose!" She said it aloud twice, and then started and flushed guiltily, lest any one should have heard her. Some one had heard! Not Mr. Magnum—not even Kitty, but a tall, handsome young man, who had been walking along the public road, with his hands in his pockets and his head bent down. He had passed the garden gate without even looking that way, but the low voice made him start and turn round. In an instant he had leaped the iron fence, and stood by Miss Marjorie's side. "Have I found you at last?" he exclaimed. "I have looked for you all over England, and in vain. Now, Marjorie—" But Miss Marjorie looked in his face, gave a low cry, and fainted He caught her in his arms and kissed her passionately. "Marjorie, my love, my darling, look up and speak to me!" Slowly she revived. Slowly she came to the knowledge that life was no longer a blank—that he had returned, and that he loved her still. "Oh," she sighed, "is this a dream?" "No dream, but truth, my darling." "Are you sure? I have dreamed so many times." "But you are awake now, Awake, to hear me say that I wronged you—that I was a jealous, suspicious fool to listen to a word against you; awake to see me kneel at your feet and ask your pardon! Look, Marjorie! I won't rise till you say you have entirely forgiven me!" "My love—my love!" answered Miss Marjorie, bending over him with a radiant smile. And then the long misery of the past was wiped away and forgotten. "But where have you been?" she asked, when the first surprise was over. "Where have you been, and how did you know I was here?" "I have been in Australia, my love. I would not come back till I could lay a fortune at your feet, as some amends for all I have made you suffer; and I can do it now. Thanks to a spade and pickaxe, I am a rich man, and you shall have a new silk dress every day, and eat off gold and silver plate, if you like, Marjorie!" "As if I cared for that!" she said, kissing him. "No, I know you are not mercenary; but still, money is one of the best things you can have, my child. Money and love—love and money; any one who can get those two things may think himself remarkably well off in this vale of tears, Miss Marjorie! And you have both; and if you don't feel obliged to me for getting them, you are a very ungrateful young woman, I must say." "Oh, I do, I do, but in the world did you know I was here?" "I did not. This is the strangest part of the story. I came home to England lonely and sad enough. For three years in Australia I have been trying to find you out, through agents and advertisements, in vain. Where have you been?" "I taught in a school at Brixton for two years after I lost you; and then one of the pupils, daughter of this Mr. Magnum—" "The gentleman who owns this house?" "Yes; his daughter was educated at that school, and she thought I would make a suitable companion for her mother, who is ill, or who fancies herself so, at least. I have been here a year. I shall leave the place in a month's time." "In a week—in a day!" was the impetuous reply. "Do you suppose I am going to have you slaving here now I am home again? You will pick up your traps to-night and be ready to go with me when I call for you to-morrow, which will be as soon after breakfast as I can get over from Banley. Do you hear?" "Yes, but I must give some notice." "Not a bit of it. Are they kind to you?" "Not very." "Do you like them?" "Not at all." "You don't mean to say that they have ill-used you?" "Oh, no." "But, in fact, you hate them?" "Exactly." "Poor darling! And you have had a year of this drudgery?" "Never mind; it is all over now." "That it is." "But finish your story. Tell me how you happened to find me here." "Do you know that my uncle Cowley is here?" "Yes." "Shut up with all his family in a house full of ghosts?" "I went straight to his house in Mecklenburg square, only to find it empty. The housekeeper gave me the present address, and, on reaching Banley, I found his name in everybody's mouth. If he had seen half the sights and heard half the sounds villagers relate he must be a lunatic by this time. In the place of waiting till to-morrow to pay my visit, I thought I would go to-night, and see if there was any truth in these marvelous tales. And while I was walking along, thinking of ghosts and hobgoblins, I heard a little voice plainly say in the darkness, "Cousin Rose!—Cousin Rose!" It was the voice I had bean hungering and thirsting to hear for three long and weary years. Now you know the whole. Were you thinking about Rose?" "Yes." "You will like her dearly. She is a good little thing, and will make a sister of you the moment I tell her your story. Will you go there with me to tomorrow?" "Will they welcome me?" "Of course they will, you goose! Oh, Marjorie! My own Marjorie! they will love you for my sake, even as I love you for your own, you wicked, fascinating, cruel little monster!" "He! he! he! That's prime!" exclaimed a boyish voice in the shrubbery; and Marjorie started from her lover's arms. "Julius, is that you?" she cried. "I should rather think it was!" the promising youth replied, standing out upon the gravel path. "I've been watching you for ten minutes at the least, and haven't you been going on kissing and hugging! Oh, my! won't mother go into a tantrum when she hears of it! I shan't have to learn any more Latin lessons! You'll have to pack, Miss Marjorie, as sure as eggs is eggs! Heigho, jeminy, and a rigidum!" His exulting dance was speedily brought to an end. Mr. Cowley, who had kept silent so far from sheer astonishment, now grasped him firmly by the collar. "You young scoundrel!" he exclaimed, "how dare you speak in that manner to Miss Marjorie?" "She's my governess; I'll say what I like to her!" was the impertinent reply. "And she is my wife! And if you dare to say a word about her—to look at her insolently—to insult her in the smallest way—I'll give you such a flogging that you will never want to utter a lady's name as long as you live! Do you hear, sir?" and he shook him in the ear as a terrier shakes a rat. "Oh, my! let me go! I'll call my father!" said the frightened boy. "Hold your tongue, you whelp! Where is the key to the garden gate?" "In the hall, sir." "Go and get it—and don't let anyone see you! Be quick!" Julius, thoroughly subdued, ran up the steps, and in a moment reappeared with the key. "What are you going to do, Charles?" inquired Miss Marjorie, wonderingly, as he opened the gate and held out his hand to her. "I am going to take you away with me." "IImpossible." "I don't know what that word means!" "But I have not even got on my bonnet." "Never mind, your cloak will protect you, and we have not far to go. Into that house you shall never step again, after the specimen of your treatment I have just seen." He drew her out upon the footpath, and turned to the boy, who stood with open mouth at the gate. "Lock it, and go in," he said. "But what am I to say to mother?" "But what am I to say to mother?" "Tell her that Miss Marjorie has gone away with her husabd," was the laughing reply. "Come, my love, draw your cloak well round you. I never ran away with a lady before; but, upon my word, this eloping with one's wife is a very pleasant business!" And so, while Julius ran in with his wonderful news, and sent Mrs. Magnum into a fit of screaming hysteric, the strangely re-united pair walked on arm in arm right through the darkness towards the haunted house. (To be continued.) NO TIME FOR CHARITY. Mrs. Russell Sage Sage Fashionab'o' Women Are Too Busy Mrs. Russell Sage, wife of the New York capitalist, says that fashionable women have no time to devote to charitable work, and, provided they give of their means to worthy objects, they should be excused from the active duties of distributing benefactions. She resents the assertion, however, that society women are lacking in sympathy for the distress of others and says that as a rule they are not extravagant. She asserts that there are not twenty families in New York who spend more than $200,000 a year and not fifty families in the United States whose yearly expenditure equals that amount. There are a few who may exceed that amount. "Do you think, Mrs. Sage, that a New York society woman has much time for anything but her social duties?" was asked, "Is it your opinion that she can give part of her time to charity?" "I think her social duties take up every minute of her time. She would be the last woman I would approach for assistance in active charitable work. I have lived in New York thirty-eight years and in that time I have never received assistance from the source you mention. I do not mean to say that they do not give generously to many worthy causes. They simply have not the time to do charitable work and keep up their social obligations." She spoke most beautifully of Helen Gould and mentioned their joint interest in several charitable institutions. She also spoke of a prominent leader of society who is known to all New Yorkers who inherited an income of $200,000. Out of that she kept up her position as one of the first leaders of society and established a very worthy mission school. He that would have fine guests, let him have a fine wife.-Ben Johnson.

THE SASKATOON DISTRICT, | uring the past year or two a largo number of American settlers (those going from the United States to Can- ada), have made homes in the Saska- fa district in Western Canada. They have found the climate all that could be desired and their prospects are of ‘the brightest. In writing of it a cor- respondent says: ‘The lands for sale are choice selec- tions from a large area, and every farm is within easy distance of a rail- way station, Experience hasshown that this district enjoys immunity from summer frost, from cyclones and bliz- zards. The South Saskatchewan, flowing through the tract, is one of the finest rivers in the country, be- ing navigable and having an average width of stream of 1,000 feet. ‘The agents of the Canadian govern- ment, whose’ advertisement appears elsewhere in your paper and who will be pleased to furnish full information, tell me that within the limits of the tract there are two distinct varieties of soil. One is a rich black loam, and the other is a somewhat lighter loam, containing a smal: admixture of sand. There appears to be no appreciable difference between the fertility of these two kinds of soil. Both are alluvial in their characteristics, both are mar- velously productive, and both rest upon a subsoil of clay. The ad- ventege cf this formation is that it retaina the her: of the day during the night, and is favorable {0 the eariy maturity of crops. Every kind of crop will here attain the highest per: fection of quality. The tan@ is admir- ably adapted for stock-raising and dairy farming, as well as growiag grain, Some idea of the richness of che natural grasses of the prairig may be formed from the fact that more than 200 tons of hay were gathered within a short distance of Saskatoon and stored up for use during the win- ter. A growth so luxuriant demon- strates beyond all possible question the suitability of the land for pasturing cattle, and no doubt this important in- dustry will be largely carried on. Nature has been lavish in her gifts to this territory. Not only is the soil of unexampled fertility, but the climate js delightful and healthy. Such is the testimony of every settler, and this testimony is confirmed by enthusiastic opinions from every traveler, explorer, missionary or newspaper correspond- ent who has ever visited this far- famed Saskatchewan Valley. In form- er years vast herds of buffalo came here to winter from the elevated storm-swept regions south of the United States boundary line, proving thereby the adaptation of these rolling prairies to the purpose of raising stock. The land is dry, with sufficient, but not excessive rainfall, capable of early cultivation in the spring, and free from summer frosts. The config- uration of the country renders artifi- cial drainage unnecessary, and pre- [vents the accumulation of -ateguant pools; mists and fogs are seldom seen. The days of summer are full of sun- ‘shine, under the genial influence of which erops rapidly ripen. Autuma is characterized by an almost unbroken, succession of fine weather, during which the crops are safely garnered. In winter It is cold, but extremely ex- jilarating and pleasant, owing to the wonderful dryness and bracing quali- es of the air. The winter is a source of profit as well as enjoyment to the people, being far healthier than a humid climate. | Water and fuel—these two prime ‘necessaries of life are plentiful ‘throughout the district.

Garnanit has lately read a pa- per before-the academie des Sciences dealing with the therapeutic action of light, and mentioning a number of eases in which he has used this treat- ment with success.

A German chemist has discovered that one of the most striking characteristics of naph- thaline is the fact that it is not Inju- rious to man and the higher animals, whether breathed as gas or used in substance externally or _ internally, while it has a very different action on the lower organisms, both animal and vegetable, such as fungi, insects, ete., for they are not able to endure the ac- tion of the gas for any length of time, ‘These, however. are the very proper- ties that a good antiseptic ought to possess. It is now used as a protec tion against moths by fur dealers and others, and is also useful in ridding houges of other insect pests. For de- stroying that minute msect known as phylloxera, <o troublesome to. grape vines, it has been found exceedingly useful, Thyt a. sweetening. agent should come from coal tar Will bea surprise to many, but such is. really the case. By a novel treatment of one of the components of coal tar a com- pound may be obtained possessing very similar sweetening properties to the best cane or beetroot sugar. ‘This saccharine preeents the appearance of a white powder and crystallizes from its aqueous solution in thick short prisms soluble in warm water. Sac- charine forms salts, all of which pos- sess a very sweet taste, and physicians are looking to this product as a sub- stance by means of which diabetic persons may enjoy food which has hitherto not been safe for them. Light from the gas in the making of coal tar is a refuse and a species of sugar obtained from that refuse are prob- ably such a combination of “sweet- ness and light” as never was dreamt of by the sweet singer who has given us that term. CURE FOR EAR DISEASES. Medicated vapors have already. been used in the treatment of diseases of the throat and nasal passages,and also for lung troubles, but it has remained for Michael Polich of California, to apply this treatment of disease to the ear. it would seem that no bettaer method could be found for applying medicines © the interior of the head, as the ap- oMeatton of liquid for this purpose is not at all pleasant to the patient, and falves do not penetrate to the depth desired. In applying this form of treatment a sheet of fabric is rolled into conical shape, the fabric having een previously saturated with the de- sired ‘medicament and allowed to dry in order that when the small end of the cone is inserted in the ear and the large end ignited the medicated gases produced by the combustion will pass upward through the tube into the ear to treat the disease. When the gases MES Swe Ce 5 Ea’ Y LAE ES - AN \ 3 \ AS SAWS FA NY ST QQ \\y MN cS WY AN USE OF MEDICATED VAPORS. become too much heated to be comfort- able it will indicate the approach of the flames and the appliance can be withdrawn. ‘The inventor claims that the device may be reversed and held with the small end down with equally good results, the smoke and gases Passing through the small end in what- sver position the tube is held, itera ae eeWick. The utilization of sewage is a most important question, but apart from the chemical and agricultural uses to which it is now put, there is yet to be solved the problem of utilizing the waste with which every river to a less or greater degree is polluted. This is one of the things that they seem to manage better in France, for in a most interesting article which appeared a few months ago in the “Leisure Hour” it was pointed out how the floating de- bris of the Seine has for years been a source of profitable manufacture In obtaining from it greases and other products of commercial value. The utilization of animal waste pre- sents an extensive field. In the large pig-killing establishments in this coun- try, and in some in England and Ire- land, there {s literally nothing lost— save the squeal. Whether horse flesh will ever become in this country an article of food it is difficult to say, but an organization in Paris known as the Society for Promoting the Use of Horse Flesh claims to have pro- vided Paris, between 1866 and 1881, with 67,809,460 pounds of meat. With us the worn-out and dead horses come out from factory yards, the flesh as oil for soapmakers and leather dress- ers, and the bones as oil, fat, glue and manure, to say nothing of the large quantities sold for cat's meat. The manufactures of butterine and oleo- margarine as substitutes for butter are now products from animal and vege- OAL OD MUSICAL SAND. Perhaps the most interesting experi- ence of musical sands is that recorded- by Kinglake in his journey across the desert. He says: “As I dropped my head under the sun's flerce fire and closed my eyes against the glare that surrounded me I slowly fell asleep—for how many minutes or moments I can- not tell—but after awhile | was gently awakened by a peal of chureh bells— my native bells—the innocent bells of Marlen, that never before sent their music beyond the Blagdon hills. “My first idea naturally was that I still remained fast under the power of a dream. 1 roused myself and drew aside the silk that covered my eyes and phinged my bare face into thelight, ‘Then, at least I was well enough awakened, but still those old Marlen bells rang on, not ringing for joy, but properly, prosily, steadily, merrily ringing for church. After awhile the sound died away slowly.” Kinglake thovght he had been the vietim of a hallucination, but it is probable that he heard actual musical sounds, either issuing from the rocks bencatli the sand or caused by the friction of the particles of sand over Which the travelers were walking, as in the case of a curions mountain which Darwin visited in Guiana. It is called by the natives El Bramador, or the Bellower, because of the sound given forth when the sand covering is put in motion.—Chamber's Journal. CULLINGS AND SCRAPINGS. In the great cotton plantations of the Southern states cottonseed was for generations thrown away, but it is now a recognized commercial. com- modity for the blending of lubricating and cooking oil in the mixing of feed cakes for cattle. Oil ropes, after they have been picked by prisoners, are served up again as material for caulk- Ing ships. The refuse from candle works comes out as glycerine, and that of soap works a8 manure. Some of the most delicately scented perfumery comes out of waste rubbish. Use has been found for the refuse of tanneries and curriers’ shops, Much of the ma- terial formerly wasted In these trades is now used for making the soles of boots and shoes. The leather cuttings and scrapings are cleaned, dampened, compressed and dried, the refuse in this process being in turn manufac- tured into what is known as leather board. Waste paper is converted into a great variety of useful things, into pails, cups and even into car wheels and building. Soup Bodtes for Ministers.
