E es Any Previou The greatest rally ever pulled off at a colored church in Wichita and Southwest Kansas, was brought to a successful close at A. M. E. church last Sunday May 16th. For enthusiasm a spirited finish and amount raised at this Rev. James Thomas Smith, PASTOR St. Paul A. M. E. Church His Rally of $1000.83 Last Sunday, May 16th Was A Splendid Record Breaker rally easily eclipses any effort previously made by any colored church in Wichita or Southwest Kansas, With Rev. Jas. T. Smith as their leader fearlessly undauntingly and conrageously every Captain of a club and members of every club marshalled their faces to the front with flying honors, Every club is to be complimented and deserves unstinted praise for their work. When this rally was set a few weeks ago no stated sum was named to be raised and no member or friend of the church was burdened with any large amount to raise but each club and each Captain was given full sway to do what he or she could do. We must make special mention here of the splendid work done by the literary society who were lead on to victory by their plucky nervy evergetic hustling little president Miss Lulu Parks who was backed up by a host of young people two numerous to J.

It was their new laundry and bakery plant, which had been the pride and talk of the town. It was owned by colored men principally, with a few white men as stockholders. The origin of the fire is not known but generally thought to be incendiary, and the company has offered a reward for the arrest and conviction of the guilty. It was a pity, a great loss to the race, as it was one of the greatest and most successful business venture among our race in the middle west. The plant building, etc cost about $9,000 00.

Y. in which the later requested his views as to the exact legal status of the United "The thirteenth fourteenth and the fifteenth amendments to the federal constitution were legally adopted as they are now incorporated into that document. They have the same force and power as any other provision of the constitution. There is no doubt about it. But on the other hand there is no doubt that these instruments are not always enforced. Yet they have always been recognized by the supreme court of the United States as the binding." Growth in Physical Education. From the Philadelphia Press The American Physical Education Association, which last met here in 1892 finds at its meeting in progress during last week, a profound change in the scope extent and public knowledge of its chosen task. Physical Education seventeen years ago when those who led this great movement were beginning their lifework for exercise and athletics in school and college and little more. England had given the world competitive games. Germany had contributed the turn verein and gymnasium apparatus Sweden had pointed the way to a ration al and systematic use of movement drills of all orders These had not been bought together. The gymnasium and playground were all any thought of in physical education. Special training in this field so as to fit for teaching it had but just begun. Physical education fills today the whol range of life. It begins with the youngest. It ends with the oldest All school years are effected. The public school has begun the work on an ungreedented scale. The significance of play is understod. The dance in all its varied forms has been added. Science, experiment system and clearheaded direction have succeeded the vague "exercise" of twenty years ago. Before the civil war, when there were comparatively few Afro-American churches in Boston was the custom in some of the white Protestant churches to set apart in a remote corner of the gallery pews for colored people who care to worship with their white sisters and brethren notwithstanding a Negro church had been established at Boston since 1796. This custom however, of setting Spring Re-union Colored Scottish Rite Masons May 27-28-29TH Everything is fast getting in readiness for the great Scottish Rite re-union among the colored Masons of the Vally of Arkansas Ill.

New York is the best market in the world for false hair and other artificial aids to beauty. And especially during the last year there seems to have been a perfect furore for false puffs and fluffs and all sorts of "base lendings" in the "very best society." Perhaps the women wear the big hats to cover up connections! At any rate, ately dressed hair usually ap and are shyest about removing Now I never would come cover."

Now I never would command the women in my congregation to "uncover." Oh, yes, a pastor has unquestionably the right to such a procedure if he wishes. But you know it's much better not to force women to do anything—they may do it, but there are—feelings. So—well, I've simply suggested. And I assure you I found a real response. But women are conservative, extremely so, and I do not expect quick success. Then there are real difficulties, I will admit. It is not pleasant to hold a large hat in one's lap during service—and, of course, the floor is out of the question. In my own church I have suggested making use of one of the chapels as a cloak room, where the ladies could leave their hats, as they may when they go to the theater. With mirrors and a dressing table, the hair difficulty might be adjusted. Why not a union of ministers for a grand crusade against the hat? Nearly all of us are opposed to hat-wearing in church by women. But we should organize and make our cause mighty. There is a third solution of the problem—but I frankly admit I wasn't clever enough to think of it. A woman suggested it to me. She said that some wise milliner should devise a small, unobtrusive but pretty and becoming hat for church wear exclusively—and universally. It should be as fixed and absolute as the opera hat for men. Variety in trimming might be allowed, but neither style nor season should change the general effect of flatness and smallness. And every woman in every church should wear it. Success Rewards the Man Who Sticks By HARRY I. HEIMAN names. The reason for this is iveness.

FOR STUDENTS OF HEREDITY Facts Carefully Gathered and Authenticated Will Be Enjoyed by Those Interested. Forty-four per cent. of the sons of mathematically minded men, including scientists, inherited the love of and aptitude for science from their fathers, and only 14 per cent. of the daughters of such men. In the case of mothers who were devoted to scientific pursuits, 100 per cent. of the sons inherited the gift, and not one among the girls. Girls showed a distinct tendency to copy any roving disposition which existed in the mother, the boys following in the father's footsteps in respect to either roving or stationary dispositions. The gift of clever talk and assurance in company, as well as the quality of self-study or self-criticism, was shown to come in every case in both boy and girl from the father, and in no case from the mother. All traits which gave evidence of good nature or sensitiveness were to be referred to the influence of the father, very rarely of the mother. Tendencies toward foibles or crime were to be ascribed almost wholly to the father. In the case of melancholia, dementia, epilepsy and imbecility, the father's influence prevailed in at least 90 per cent, of cases. Strangely enough to record, interest in sports, such as cycling, skating, hunting, fishing and parlor games, came almost invariably from the mother, likewise the tendency to be very neat in dress. On the other hand, punctilio in affairs of business and honor were ascribed entirely to the father's side—in no case to the mother's. In the matter of literary ability, evidence was conclusively in favor of the father, though artistic talent was, in the greater percentage of cases, traced to the mother. Only a fraction over two per cent, of all the mental characteristics traced were shown to be outside the sphere of heredity. The final conclusion is, therefore, that we must ascribe our particular talents and personal foibles, in the great main, to our ancestors, either mediate or immediate—New York World. A Just Rebuke. "My children, is it not as easy to speak a good word as a bad one?" asks an old-time minister of the Gospel. Capt. George Prescott of Concord, Mass., not only answered this question in the affirmative as far as he himself was concerned, but enforced its principle where he had command. An instance of his frankness and refinement is given by Frank Preston Sterns in "Sketches from Concord and Appledore." The incident occurred in the civil war, during the first few days of the camp at the Potomac. A cadet, freshly graduated from West Point, was directed by Gen. McDowell to drill the different companies in succession. Having but slight respect for volunteers, the young man gave his orders emphasis by a plentiful use of profane language. When he came to the Concord company, Capt. Prescott, who was standing by, walked across to him and said: "I must request you, sir, to give the orders in the plain men of the military code, for my men do not like profanity. If you do otherwise, I shall order them to march off the ground, and they will obey me, and not you." The drill continued on out. The drill continued without an oath — Youth's Companion. Study Mysteries of the Air Man has been born of woman for centuries upon centuries, yet he is as little wise to the control of weather conditions as he is to the truth of what comes after death. Must it be ever so? Is prophecy, even as it may some time be perfected, to remain the ineffective substitute for the power to regulate? The air throbs with wonders. It affords the medium of wireless telegraphy, perhaps of telepathy. The mystery of how it absorbs and restrains or lets loose the elements that make for storm or sunshine is infinitely better worth attention than are the short comings of a forecaster. Let some earnest seeker find a key to the riddle and see how the farmers and sailors and baseball players and Easter belles and all the sons and daughters of time sit up and take notice. Ever-Busy Woman. A newspaper writer, sympathizing with women because there is no longer any cradle to rock, or hardly a baby to care for, no home schooling necessary in the presence of the modern kindergarten, no sewing to do in this ready-made age, little houseworks in this day of flats and suites and restaurants and prepared foods, asks with concern: What are we going to do with the woman out of a job? Let him put that question face to face to his woman acquaintances and dollars to doughnuts he will find them all so busy trying to keep up with their engagements that they won't have time to answer his foolish questions. The Way of the Lion. The Masai, who still spear many lions, and in the old days killed many more than they do now, told me positively that when their warriors were charged by a lion they always stood stock still. To move meant death, to stand quite immovable meant that, before closing, the lion, if unwounded, would stand, too. Then came the spearman's one chance. The stories you hear of lions charging when unwounded, and from a distance, are generally liked the same sort of story told about rhino or elephant.—Rev. Dr. W. S. Rainsford in World's Work. Satterlee's Deal By ALFRED STODDART (Copyright, 1909, by J. B. Lippincott Co.) "It is a long time," said Middleton, "since we have sold Satterlee a horse." "That's so," answered the M. F. H. "Now I have a hunter I don't need. I think he would just suit Percy." "Well," he said at length, throwing himself somewhat precipitately from the pony's back, "I'm willing to trade you. Middleton, though I don't think your pony is half as good as mine. But what are you going to give me to "There's that brown cob that Higgins stuck me with," put in Ralph Goring. "I wonder if Satterlee wants a cob?" It was a warm afternoon in the early fall. There had been a little desultory polo, but the season was over and the game lacked snap. It was almost too soon to think of hunting yet, and so the Meadowthorpe crowd—or rather, the three or four members of it who sat on the clubhouse porch—cast about them for some other sport. "Percy wants a new hack pony," spoke up Tom Halliday. "I hear the one he has is a cribber." "H'm! I'm just out of ponies. My usual luck," growled Middleton. "And, speaking of angels, I hear the rustle of their wings—or the puffing of Satterlee's cribber, for here he comes." Mr. Percival Satterlee cantered up the lane which led to the club-house porch sitting back gracefully in his saddle, as became the rider of a pony with a rocking-horse gait. He pulled the animal back upon his haunches and alighted with something of a flourish, requesting a waiter to ring for a groom to take his pony. "Nice pony you have there, Percy," ventured Bradbury, the M. F. H., eying the rather good-looking brown hack. "Yes, pretty fair pony, but he's hardly up to my weight. I've a notion to let him go." "Is that the only fault he has?" "If he has any others, I haven't discovered 'em yet," returned Satterlee, thinking possibly that this was his opportunity to "do" some of the chaps who had done him so often. "I've got one that I might trade with you," mused Middleton reflectively. "Thought you just said you were out of ponies?" questioned the M. F. H. "Only one left, but he's a good one. Tell you what, Satterlee, my wife's in town and I'm dining here at the club. You stop and dine with me, and, mean while, if you will let my man ride your pony over to my place he can fetch my pony back. You can look it over after dinner, and if you like it we can trade. If not, I'll send your pony back the first thing in the morning." "Well, I'm game," answered Satterlee, "especially as Mrs. Satterlee is dining with her mother this evening." It is astonishing what an interest country gentlemen take in a horse deal, even such an insignificant one as an exchange of 14-hand ponies. In a short time Middleton's cosy little dinner a deux had extended itself to a dinner for the crowd. Five in all gathered around the table in the end—Middleton, Satterlee, Ralph Goring, Tom Halliday, and Bradbury, the M. F. H. Many subjects of conversation came up for discussion—the polo season just passed, the hounds, their hunters, the prospects for the fox-hunting, for the fall race-meeting—but eventually the talk always got around to the trade in ponies. It was evident that all the men present took more or less interest in it. Satterlee was in a rare good-humor. At last, thought he, his opportunity had come. If he could only succeed in palming his worthless cribber off on Middleton in exchange for any sort of a pony that would go on four legs, Percy felt that his ambition would be satisfied. And Fate seemed to be playing into his hands, for Middleton was apparently very much taken with the cribber. Middleton said his man should be there with his own pony by that time, and, sure enough, there was a groom leading a pony to and fro under the electric lights in the stable-yard. The pony was about the same size as Satterlee's, but his color was quite different. Satterlee's pony was a rich brown. This one was a dirty slate-color. Also he was thinner-looking than Satterlee's pony, and while the criber had two white forefeet, this animal's legs were of the same slaty hue as his body. He seemed quiet and well-mannered, which Satterlee noted with satisfaction. The stable-yard was large and well-lighted, and Middleton begged Satterlee to "throw his leg over him." The latter did mount the pony, after some persuasion and with no little difficulty, owing to the above-mentioned dining and wining. But as the slate-colored nag started off at a nice, easy canter and seemed perfectly bridle-wise, he became quite enthusiastic over him. It would never do, however, to betray his approval of the slate-colored pony, so he took what that celebrated hero of sporting fiction, John Jorrocks, M. F. H. of the Handley Cross Hounds, would have designated "the running-down tack." In the first place, the slate-colored nag wasn't up to his weight—not within 40 pounds of the brown pony. And he was not as handy as the brown pony, either. Yes, he knew what he was talking about. He had ridden the brown for six months and he was riding the slaty one now. Surely he ought to know. "Well," he said at length, throwing himself somewhat precipitately from the pony's back, "I'm willing to trade you. Middleton, though I don't think your pony is half as good as mine. But what are you going to give me to 'boot'?" "To 'boot!'" repeated Middleton in a pained and surprised tone. "The boot's on the other leg, Percy, and you know it. Why, your pony is not to be compared with this one." "Well, I'll trade you even," said Satterlee. "Not much. I'll tell you what I'll do. You throw in that Boston terrier puppy you bought the other day and 50 in cash, and the deal's made," said Middleton. Satterlee reflected. He had paid a big price for the Boston terrier, and the $50 besides seemed like throwing good money after bad. But he had taken a wonderful fancy to Slatestone, which Middleton said was his pony's name; and, moreover, he was anxious to impose upon Middleton with a cribbing pony. The money involved did not matter so much. Reluctantly, therefore, and fearful lest Middleton might come out ahead, Satterlee finally agreed to the trade, "Short reckonings make long friendship," said Middleton, and hence Satterlee obtained immediate possession of the slate-colored pony and Middleton folded a crisp $50 bill and put it into his pocket-book. Also he received from Satterlee an order upon his coachman for the Boston terrier puppy with which he immediately dispatched his groom to Satterlee's stables. "It's my opnion, Percy," cried the M. F. H., "that you've got a bargain in this deal. That slate-colored pony is worth three like your old one." "Don't know about that," answered Satterlee doubtfully. He was wondering what Middleton would say when he found out that the brown was a cribbber. "However, since you fellows seem to think I got the best of this deal I suppose it's up to me to open some champagne." "Most decidedly," answered Middleton promptly. And they straightway repaired to the tap-room of the club, whence Satterlee emerged about an hour later and mounted the slate-colored pony to ride home. It was late when he reached his own abode, and Satterlee was tired. He handed the pony over to the waiting groom at his front door and sought his downy couch, pleased with himself to think that for once he had gotten the better of such a sharp horseman as Dick Middleton. Next morning he was up bright and early and strolling out to the stables before breakfast. Benson, his head man met him at the door and touched his hat respectfully. "You've 'ad the brown pony clipped, I see, sir," he said, a curious smile hovering upon his face. "Had the brown clipped! What do you mean?" echoed Satterlee in astonishment. "Well, sir, 'e was clipped when you brought 'im 'ome last night. That's all as I knows." "But Benson I traded—" Just then they approached the pony's stall, and a familiar sound assailed Satterlee's ears. The slate-colored animal had taken a firm grip of the manger with his teeth and was sucking wind loudly—"cribbing." In short, Satterlee thought very hard for a few moments. "How about the white feet, Benson?" he asked in a subdued tone. "White as ever, sir, now as I've washed the lampblack out of them." Benson looked very hard at his master, but Satterlee did not vouchsafe any information. "By George, I'll sue Middleton for this!" Satterlee swore softly to himself. "Traded and gave fifty and a Boston terrier to boot and got my own pony back. I'll have him up in court or my name's not Satterlee. No, I won't either. I'd have the whole place laughing at me. I'll—I'll—I don't know what I do." He strode up and down the stable floor whileenson stood by respectfully awaiting his pleasure. Whatever that invaluable servant might have thought, his face was perfectly expressionless. "Well? asked Satterlee in a furious tone, stopping short as though Benson had addressed him. "Beg pardon, sir, I didn't speak," answered Benson, raising a forefinger to his forehead. "Confound it!" muttered Satterlee, "I guess I've got a right to have my own pony clipped if I choose to." "Certainly, sir, certainly," answered Benson. And his frate employer marched stiffly out of the stable. Very little was said about the pony trade. Somehow it never leaked out very generally. But among a select few of the hard-riding Meadowthorpe crowd it is not an infrequent occurrence to hear Satterlee asked in a quiet way whenever he beasts too much about his horses—which is also not very infrequent — whether he wouldn't like to swap ponies. It has been found to be very effectual on such occasions. All Who Would Enjoy good health, with its blessings, must understand, quite clearly, that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best, each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to living aright. Then the use of medicines may be dispensed with to advantage, but under ordinary conditions in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time and the California Fig Syrup Co. holds that it is alike important to present the subject truthfully and to supply the one perfect laxative to those desiring it. Consequently, the Company's Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna gives general satisfaction. To get its beneficial effects buy the genuine, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and for sale by all leading druggists.

Pittsburg, Pa.—Announcement is made here that 35,000 employees of iron and steel companies having headquarters in this vicinity, will receive an advance in wages averaging ten per cent the first of June or the first of July. Some of the manufacturers have already posted notices of the increase and others, it is said, will do so within a few days. The United States Steel Corporation has made no announcement of an increase in wages, but it is said the Jones & Laughlin Steel company, the Republic Iron & Steel company and other independent companies will restore the wages paid prior to the first of last April when a general cut was made. At the general offices of the Republic Iron & Steel company notices have been posted of a revision of the wage scale on June 1. The Republic Iron & Steel company employs about ten thousand men at Chicago, Massillon, Youngstown, Birmingham, Moline, Ill., East St. Louis, Muncie, Ind., Gate City, Ala., Thomas, Ala., Sharon, and Newcastle, Pa. The Jones & Laughlin Steel company employs 10,000 men in this vicinity and their wages, it is said, will all be increased. It is also announced that after June 1, the independents will not accept any orders for steel at the present prices. Beggar Burned the Temple Tokio—Sojaji, the famous Buddhist temple situated in Shibe park, Tokio, was completely destroyed by fire a few days ago, the damage amounting to about $200,000. Only those who know the pride of the Japanese in their temples can conceive the effect of this irreparable loss on the people. The Sojaji temple, next to the great temple at Nikko, was probably the most famous and popular as a show temple in Japan. The fire was set by a beggar who was living in a hole underneath the floor of the temple. The man was cold and started a little blaze with a newspaper and a few sticks for warmth. Capt. Hains Sentenced. Flushing, N. Y.—Unless some unlooked for legal obstacle is interposed Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., U. S. A. who was convicted of Manslaughter in the first degree for killing William E. Annis at the Bayside Yacht club last August, will be taken to Sing Sing and at once will begin serving the sentence imposed by Justice Garretson in the supreme court. The sentence is an indeterminate one, under which the minimum period of imprisonment will be eight years and the maximum 16 years. And his time in prison must be spent at hard labor.

To Cut Express Rates There Lincoln, Nebraska. — The state has won the first round in the litigation to enforce the Sibley act reducing express rates 25 per cent in Nebraska. J. J. Sullivan, referee, appointed by the supreme court to take testimony, has reported that the act was not confiscatory and that judgment should be entered in favor of the state. Many Mules Burned Kansas City, Missouri—Between 150 and 200 mules were killed in a fire at the big barn of the Guyton & Harrington Mule company here. About 100 miles escaped, some of them galloping across the town east by way of the cable car viaducts. Only Two Bills. Washington, D.

New York.—Representatives of the business interests of the country from every state in the Union assembled at the Waldorf Astoria for the first session of the fourteenth annual convention of the National Association of Manufacturers. Bubonic Plague Epidemic Amoy, China.—Official estimates place the number of cases of bubonic plague in Amoy about forty weekly. There is a severe epidemic at several of the interior towns BUSINESS. TARIFF BILL HOUSE SENATE MAY DETROIT HOURAN WIND RAIN AND HAIL EASTERN AND CENTRAL KANSAS DRENCHED. Tornadoes Reported near Hoisington and Floods at Leavenworth—Emporia Suffered From Hall. Topeka, Kansas—Hard wind, rain and hall storms, at places reaching the velocity of tornadoes, occurred generally over the eastern and central portion of Kansas. The hardest storms occurred at Hollis, where a boy was killed, several persons injured and many houses wrecked and near Hoisington four buildings on the Walker ranch were demolished and the residents driven to a cyclone cellar for protection. A hard hail storm occurred at Emporia, hall stones as large as hen's eggs falling, accompanied by a hard rain, the precipitation amounting to over two inches. Leavenworth, Kansas.—Reports received here indicate a demoralization of railway traffic on all lines in this locality.

After receiving judgment in the lower court he died but his widow will receive the damage awarded him. The First Roosevelt Trophies. Nairobi, East British Africa.—Edmund Heller, one of the zoologists of the Roosevelt expedition, came into Nairobi with some 50 specimens of animal and bird life that are to be cured and preserved here.

Thirty lottery tickets for the June drawing of the Hamburg lottery, said to be owned by the German government were confiscated. Protest Against Tea Tax. New York.—A letter of protest against an import tax on tea as proposed in an amendment to the tariff bill offered by Senator Tillman was sent by the National Coffee and Tea association to Senator Aldrich, chairman of the committee on finance. An Earthquake Recorded. Washington.—An earthquake estimated at 3,600 miles distant, was recorded at the Cheltenham, Md., magnetic observatory of the United States coast and geodetic survey. Seven Western Railroads Object to Merchandise Rates to Denver. Chicago, Illinois.—A petition was filed in the United States circuit court here by seven Western railroads asking an order restraining the interstate commerce commission from enforcing its order reducing class rates on merchandise shipped from this city and St. Louis to Denver. The order of the commission will become effective June 1. It was issued in the Kindel case, March 2. The railroads seeking relief from this are the Chicago, Burlington & Qincy, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, the Chicago & Northwestern, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, the Missouri Pacific and the Wabash. The railroads claim that the new rates will give Chicago shippers an advantage of 25 cents a 100 pounds in rates over Missouri river shippers and an advantage to St. Louis shippers of 23 cents a 100 pounds. It is alleged in the petition that the loss to the seven railroads annually will amount to $1,000,000 if the commission's order is allowed to become effective. The railroads maintain that the middle west has grown up as a result of the existing rates and that the commission now seeks to change the system with a result tending to give advantage to the East. Prison Life in Russia. St. Petersburg.—The Socialists have introduced in the Duma an interpolation drawing a terrible indictment against the administration in the Russian prisons which are described as veritable torture cells, seething with typhoid and scurvy. It is declared, as an instance of the awful conditions that the prison at Yakaterinoslav, which has been provided with accommodations for 280 prisoners contains 1,200 prisoners, 192 of whom are suffering from typhoid fever. Prisoners in the fortress at Tiflis it is asserted who venture to the windows for air, are shot without warning. Tributes to Meredith London, England—The British public and press are making ample atonement on the death of the foremost English novelist, for any neglect he suffered during his lifetime. Not even the death of Swinburne called out such unicersal warm tributes of admiration and affection as that of George Meredith. The death of the novelist is felt as a more intimate personal loss than that of the poet. Prison Sentence for Hains. Flushington, New York.—Captain Peter C. Hains, jr., U. S. A. faces a prison term of from one to 20 years. Despite the testimony submitted by the defense as tending to show insanity, he was convicted of manslaughter in the first degree for killing William E. Annis at the Bayside Yacht club last August. Kansas Woman Died On a Train. Hiawatha, Kan.—Mrs. Adam Schilling, a pioneer resident of Hiawatha, died on a train in Colorado while making the trip home from California where she has been for about a year. Her death probably was due to heart failure on account of the high altitude. A Lid By Socialist Stillwater, Ok.—The "lid" has been put on in Stillwater by the new Socialist mayor, A. F. Rogers. Even bootlacks cannot operate on Sunday. Three negro "shiners" were arrested for violating the ordinance and fined $7.50 each. Cologne Cathedral Crumbling. Cologne. — The architect of the Cologne Cathedral has informed the authorities that the condition of the building is unsatisfactory, although there is no immediate danger. Necesary repairs will cost millions. Sage Gift Opened. New York, N. Y.—The addition to the naval branch Y. M. C. A. building near the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Mrs Russell Sage's $500,000 gift to the men of the navy, was opened with appropriate ceremonies. Discharged Grand Jurors Attack Federal Attorneys Tulsa, Oklahoma.—Sensational allegations concerning the official conduct of Sylvester H. Rush, special assistant to the attorney general, an the United States district attorney, Mr. Gregg of the Northern district of Oklahoma, are made in two petitions filed at the federal court here in connection with the Muskogee town lot fraud cases. One of the petitions is signed by certain members of the grand jury that was discharged last Saturday by Judge John A. Marshall upon motion of District Attorney Gregg, who asserted that the jury had been subjected to improper influences. Washington, D. C. — After receiving a long telegram sent by Henry E. Asp, counsel for the defendants in the Oklahoma land fraud cases, to Senator Curtis of Kansas, and forwarded by the latter to the department of justice, Attorney General Wickersham decided to suspend further proceedings in those cases pending the receipt of testimony in support of charges alleging improper conduct on the part of the government attorneys. THE INSURGENTS ARE STRONG. The Aldrich Bill Finds More Opposition Than Was Expected. Washington—From now on the daily sittings of the senate will commence at 10 o'clock in the morning. The hour has been advanced in the hope of expediting final action on the tariff bill by more rapidly disposing of the long speeches as well as of the detailed discussion of the various disputed schedules. The consideration of the measure has developed greater opposition on the part of a dozen or so of Republican senators than was expected, and the supporters of the bill feel that every possible effort must be made to exhaust their criticism and bring the bill to a vote. So far, however, they have received no encouragement from the "insurgents," and the Republican leaders are quite in the dark as to when the end may be reached. Indeed they are finding less difficulty on that point, in dealing with the Democrats than in dealing with the independent Republicans, and the opinion is freely expressed that but for this antagonism a day might soon be set which would decide the fate of the measure. Says Hancock Was Right. Washington.—Republican though he is, Senator Depew of New York in a speech in the senate endorsed Gen. Hancock's declaration that the tariff was a local issue. "General Hancock uttered pregnant truth," asserted Senator Depew, "and his fame is likely to be embalmed in his phrase 'the tariff is a local issue everywhere.' It is breaking party lines in states where its productive energies are producing prosperity. The favorite method of attacking the protective principle is to proclaim loyally to the principle and oppose its application." Gold More Plentiful. Washington.—A preliminary summarization of a series of tables bearing on the production of gold prepared by the bureau of statistics is made public. According to the figures presented the world's stock of gold has increased about one-half in the last decade and doubled in the last quarter of a century. The stock of gold money has meantime grown in even greater proportions, being practically seventy-five per cent more than a decade ago. Postponement for Pierce Austin, Tex.—Another postponement was agreed to between counsel for the state and defense in the case of H. Clay Pierce of St. Louis, president of the Waters-Pierce Oil company, who is under indictment in Texas charged with false swearing in connection with the ouster suit against the company by the state. The trial was set for Monday, October 11. The Bride is Seven Years Old. Addis Areba, Abyssinia.—Prince Lidj Peassu, aged 13 years, grandson of King Menellik and heir apparent to the throne was married to Princess Romani, aged 7, the grand daughter of the late Emperor John and niece of Emperor Taitou. The marriage is of great importance politically as it unites the two dynasties and the families of powerful chiefs. New Kansas Freight Rates. Topeka, Kansas. — The board of railroad commissioners is preparing to issue a new classification which will establish new freight rates for lime, brick and cement in Kansas. The legislature passed a law providing new maximum freight rates on grain, brick, stone, lime and cement and some other building materials. Broken Motor Cycle Records. Los Angeles. Cal.-Two world's records for professionals were broken by Jake D Resloser of New York in the motor cycle races at the Coliseum saucer track. He made ten miles in 8:05.

Col.-One man was killed and several seriously injured in the workings of the Roosevelt tunnel at Cripple Creek by drilling into a missed shot. JUDGE MARSHALL OVERRULES MOTION TO DISMISS. MANY WITNESSES ARE THERE District Attorney Gregg Declares Only Evidence Furnished by Government Has Been Submitted to Grand Jury. Tulsa, Okla.-The third federal grand jury called to reinvestigate the Muskogee town lot frauds was completed here yesterday afternoon. A motion of the defendants to dismiss the jury was overruled, and after Judge John A. Marshall had instructed the jurors, the examination of witnesses was immediately taken up. George W. Strawn of Wagoner was selected as foreman of the jury. Judge Marshall instructed the jury as to what constitutes a conspiracy, explained the statute of limitations, and the nature of competent evidence. He called attention to the Creek Indian agreement, under which the lots in question were scheduled. Witnesses Are Many. Twice as many witnesses as attended the two other investigations are here. Most of them come from out of town. District Attorney Gregg, in defense of the motion filed by the defendants yesterday, charging him with gross misconduct, made this statement: "I am not responsible for these prosecutions. I have not made a personal investigation of any of the cases, and have acted solely on instructions fro the department at Washington. I submitted to the grand jury no evidence except that which was furnished me by the special representatives of the government." Tulsa, Okla.—At the conclusion of the empaneling of the third grand jury in the alleged land fraud cases, Attorney Asp, for the defense, moved the panel be quashed. The motion was based on the claim that only one grand jury could be legally drawn in one term of court and that the alleged crime had been committed in the old Northern district, and a jury drawn in the Western district was not competent to pass on the case. Judge Marshall denied the motion. RUSSIAN GENERALS AT LIBERTY Commanders In Ill-Fated Conquest Leave Prison Walls. St. Petersburg.-Lieutenant General Stoessel and Admiral Nebagaloff, who were pardoned yesterday by Emperor Nicholas, his majesty having taken advantage of the anniversary of his birth to perform this act of clemency, walked from the fortress at St. Peter and Paul yesterday afternoon. General Stoessel was found guilty by court martial of surrendering the fortress at Port Arthur, and was serving a sentence of ten years imprisonment. Nebogatoff was sentenced to be interred in a fortress for the same length of time for surrendering to the enemy at the battle of the Sea of Japan. Emperor Nicholas has extended mercy to eight other officers who were dismissed from the service for their part in this naval engagement. These men include admiral Rojet- vensky's chiefs of staff, Colonel Ongue, Captain Baranoff and Colonel Thilitoff. H. H. Rogers Dies from Apoplexy. New York.—Henry H. Rogers, vice president of the Standard Oil company, moving spirit in the organization of the Amalgamated Copper company, builder of railroads and philanthropist, died at his home here at 7:20 o'clock yesterday morning from a stroke of apoplexy. Death came a little more than an hour after Mr. Rogers had risen for the day, mentioning to his wife that he was feeling ill. At 7 o'clock he lapsed into unconsciousness and before the family physician arrived he was dead. Mr. Rogers was 69 years old. Mrs. Rogers, three married daphters, a son, H. H. Rogers, Jr., and Dr. W. J. Pulley, a physician who was hastily summoned, were at the bedside when the end came. Just how much money Mr. Rogers leaves is not known. His fortune is variously estimated at from $50,000,000 to $75,000,000, which will make his son, H. H. Rogers, Jr., one of the richest men in the country. Emporia Girl Hangs Herself. Kansas City, Mo.—Miss Katherine Stuckey of Emporia, Kan., secretary to the president of the state normal school there, committed suicide in a sanitarium in Grand View, Kan., across the line from here, early yesterday, hanging herself with a rope made from her bed clothing. Miss Stuckey entered the sanitarium three weeks ago, following a breakdown due, it was stated, to overwork. Miss Stuckey was 33 years of age and came of a prominent family in Kansas. Mr. Henpeck—It's no use. We can't agree on a single subject. Mrs. Henpeck—You're wrong, dear. I always agree with you on the weather. A Boomerang. At a small country boarding-house sort "down in ole Virginie," this past summer, the girls decided to give a dance in the town hall on the mutual benefit plan, so to speak. Half of the expenses of the hall, music and refreshments, it was planned, should be borne by them and the other half by the men. The fair chairman of the refreshment committee, in exhorting the prospective dancers to make no mistake in the details agreed upon, wrote: "The girls will furnish the sugar and the men will bring the lemons." Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Standing Fad. The wandering agent who was selling cigar-bands found Remus sitting on the porch mending his fishing lines. "Do you have any fads down here in Dixie?" asked the agent. "What am them, mister?" inquired Remus, curiously. "Why, take the collecting fad. Do you make any collections of anything down here?" Remus laughed. "Oh, yeas, sah," he chuckled, "do same collections we've always made. De collection of pickaninnies en dogs, sah." Only Sure Cure for Tuberculosis. In view of the constant agitation and misrepresentation with regard to the treatment of consumption, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has issued a statement in which it states that the only sure cure for this disease is fresh air, rest and wholesome food. Hardly a week passes without some quack "doctor" or "eminent specialist" informing the public that he has at last discovered the sure cure for tuberculosis. After examining every one of these so-called cures, several hundred in number, the National association states that, one and all, they are misrepresentations or fakes. WHERE PAT DREW THE LINE Patient and Long Suffering, But No Man with a Face Like That Could Work with Him. Pat had been at work for three days digging a well, and as the foreman wanted it finished within the week he had promised Pat another man to help him. It was getting on for 11 o'clock, and Towser, the foreman's bulldog, was looking over the edge of the pit, when Pat said to himself, "Smoke-o." He had just filled his pipe, and was about to light it when he glanced up and beheld Towser's handsome features. Slowly removing the pipe from his mouth, he said: "Be-e-gorra, Ol've wor-rked wid Germans and Hengar-rians, and Ol've wor-rked wid Oltalians and naygers, but if a man wid a face like that comes down here to work besoide me, I gets up." LIGHT BOOZE Do You Drink It? A minister's wife had quite a tussle with coffee and her experience is interesting. She says: "During the two years of my training as a nurse, while on night duty, I became addicted to coffee drinking. Between midnight and four in the morning, when the patients were asleep, there was little to do except make the rounds, and it was quite natural that I should want a good, hot cup of coffee about that time. It stimulated me and I could keep awake better. "After three or four years of coffee drinking I became a nervous wreck and thought that I simply could not live without my coffee. All this time I was subject to frequent bilious attacks, sometimes so severe as to keep me in bed for several days. "After being married, Husband begged me to leave off coffee for he feared that it had already hurt me almost beyond repair, so I resolved to make an effort to release myself from the hurtful habit. "I began taking Postum, and for a few days felt the languid, tired feeling from the lack of the stimulant, but I liked the taste of Postum and that answered for the breakfast beverage all right. "Finally I began to feel clearer headed and had steadier nerves. After a year's use of Postum I now feel like a new woman—have not had any billious attacks since I left off coffee." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human later. W. N.

LATTER CONCEAL HIS IDENTITY Quarrel with Supposed Parents Brings to Light Story of His Adoption — "Cyclone Kid" Now Seeking Relatives. Des Moines fa.—"The Cyclone Kid" they are now styling Charles H. Bennett of Melbourne, La. It isn't because "he is there with the wallop," is the spiritual souls of the prize ring put in, but because he was kidnapped by a cyclone when he was too young to have developed the western instinct for the cyclone cellar. Bennett has just finished a search for his relatives, and in his success has come the unfolding of the story. The hero of the unique event was born on a farm at Leon, Ia., a few miles north of the state line. The region was, as nov., in the vicinity of the cyclone belt, and strong winds frequently threatened to lift the roof of the Bennett homestead. One August afternoon 18 years ago, when Bennett was only 6 years old, there developed suddenly a wind storm of arois proportions. The little boy, who had been playing in a field near the house, sought to run under cover, but a deluge of wind caught him in its grip and made him leave his feet in a jiffy. And then away he went clear over the fences that had been, sometimes being rolling along the ground, at other times lifted up into the heart of the maelstrom. His mother, who had seen him knocked off his feet, tried to pursue him, but the tail of the cyclone struck her down, so dazing her that she knew little or nothing for several hours. Meanwhile the youngster was easier prey for the winds. Once he was dropped in the middle of the road. With what little strength he had left, he strove to regain his feet and maks for shelter. In his bewildered and breathless state, he had no chance at all against the rapidly moving cyclone. He was picked up again and carried into the distance. Late that evening Mr. and Mrs. James Hudson of Harrison county, Mo., decided that the cyclone had left their neighborhood and that it would be safe to venture out of doors for an inspection of their property. Only a few yards from their threshold they came across a bundle of rags. It was such a soiled-looking mass that they thought it must have been unearthed from the bed of a stream or from a mud hole. WORKMAN HAS THRILLING EXPERIENCE WHILE SUSPENDED OVER DEEP CHASM. Trenton, N. J.—John Hutchinson, a blaster at the workhouse quarries along the Delaware river, had a midr encounter with a big pilot snake that resulted in the suspension of all Escape Was Impossible. Jerry work for the remainder of the day. A hundred quarryman watched the fight, unable to give assistance. Hutchinson had been lowered over the side of the quarry and was suspended about a hundred feet from the top and 75 feet from the bottom of the hole when his attention was attracted by a secular gliding movement on the rope above him. First he thought the rope was giving way, but a moment later he saw that the movement was that of a large pilot snake, which had slid on to the rope from a projecting crass and was leisurely making its way in his direction. Escape was impossible and Hutchinson's danger was increased by the fact that he was carrying in his hand a stick of dynamite and a small drill. He failed not drop the dynamite for fear of the consequences and it was impossible for him to put up a fight with in his hand. He managed to throw the dynamite in a pocket and then They were much astonished when they discovered that the object was a small boy, and still more astonished when they felt his heart beat. So they carried him into their kitchen, washed the soil of the road and fields off him, gave him a little stimulant and put him to bed. He awoke the next morning and cried for his mother. He made the mistake of thinking that Mrs. Hudson was she, a fact which pleased the woman so mightily that then and there she decided to make no effort to learn the identity of the newcomer, but to adopt him. Eventually the Hudson family moved to Louisiana, and there the foster child grew up. He never knew up Away He Went Into the Heart of the Maelstrom. till last winter that he was no kin of Mr. and Mrs. Hudson. The story came out when he had a tilt with the father and declared that he was going out into the world to seek his fortune. Then, as a result of an interview, I departed to look up his family. In Leon he met many persons who remembered that a terrific cyclone had carried away the Bennett child. From them he also learned that his father was dead, and his mother was living at Long Beach, Cal.; a brother, James, in Fairfield, Neb, and a sister, Mrs. Benjamin Richardson, at Villison, Ia. Bennett recalls his experience with the cyclone only dimly. Now and then he says, he has a feeling that he was once carried through the air like a bird. But he is willing to accept the evidence of his mother, his foster parents and Leon persons that he was kidnaped by a terrific hurricane. prepared to give battle with the small drill as a weapon. As the snake came within reach Hutchinson aimed a blow at its head but the swigging of the rope made the blow a glancing one and the snake continued its downward course, while its fangs carted out menacingly. The second blow was more successful and seemed to stun the reptile, which maintained its hold on the rope, but swung its head from side to side, as though dazed. Another blow ended the fight, the snake uncoiling from the rope and dropping into the pit below. Hutchinson was nearly exhausted when he arrived at the top, and the other quarrymen who witnessed the struggle were so unstring that they refused to go back to work. Bolt Robs Girl of Garter. Columbus, Ga.—Miss Hilda Clark is nouring a costly jeweled garter, one silk stocking and one slipper because of a prank played by a boit of lightning. Miss Clark was swinging in a hammock on the veranda of her home when the boit came. Her left leg was hanging from the hammock and her dress was a bit elevated. The flash of lightning came, and with it a scream from Miss Clark. She was found sitting in the hammock dazed. The boit had struck the garter clasp, torn of the garter, ripped off the stocking and shattered her slipper. The boit then passed into the floor, making a hole. Miss Clark soon recovered from the shock. The only mark on her it a blue streak on her left leg, where the garter was worn. Coffin Shoal Stirs Hamlet Peoria, Ill.-The sight of r num ber of coffins floating in the Illinois river above Ottawa recently caused a profound sensation among the residents and stories of grave robbers and ghouls were soon in circulation. The talk resolved itself into the possibility of employing an armed guard for the local cemeteries. An investigation however, revealed that a number of coffins were stored in an old mill and were pushed into the river by boys when used by them as floats while swimming. Cat Catches Black Base Towanda, Pa.-A large cat owned by Dr D. Leucard Pratt of this city has developed into an evident fisher and now several times a week taken home to Dr. Pratt a good sized fish caught in the Susquahhanna river. The cat has caught no less than 15 bliss, bass and has taken them all to the doctor. Omaha Nebraska New Tabernacle Organized Amelia Level Tabernacle No 19 was organized and set in motion by Dtr.

E. church is due much credit for the very remarkable work which has done since coming to our city as pastor. He landed in Wichita with credentials from Bishop Abum Grant as the pastor of this church on the last Thursday in October 08 and filled the pulpit of the A. M. E. church for the first time on Sunday morning Nov. 1st 1908. He found the church $1800 00 in debt for the lots on Elm & Water and the church organization was much scattered. Since Nov. 1st 08 he has managed to raise $1000 83 to apply on the debt has kept up all the current expenses of the church and his own salary and support and has the church better organized and working more harmonously than ever in it history There is not a hitch in any part or department of his church and he has built up a most magnificent congregation at each of his services on Sunday and week day He has organized a Junior Choir of 22 voices the best in the state and has organized the best interesting and lively literary society in the west they are ladies and workers. He has added new life new energy to his Senior Choir. The Junior choir of 22 voices furnished music for the Sunday morning services and the meetings of the C. E. L. at 6:30 Sunday evening while the Senior the champions of Kansas—furnished music at the Sunday eve. services. To appreciate either of these choirs one must hear them sing. Rev. Smith has also aded about thirty members to his church and is moving along nicely. He is respected and admired by all both saint and sinners. And in his educated refined and christian manner he is destined to do still great- The Power of Enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is one magnet of power. You must fire every event with it, touch thoughts and acts with it; it will transmute dross into gold, drudgery into delight. What matters is the soul which lives beside you is cold and selfish. Set him a good example! Joy is sunshine and he will feel it. Every irksome task is a chance for power. For the qualities which they bring out are God's gifts which fit us to enjoy better things. Easy things will come, if you have spent your heart's blood on gaining strength, for the very goal of power is the ease which comes from strength. We laugh at things and people who used to cow or annoy us, we do gracefully and swiftly the tasks, once so hard. One by one, we have unriveted our chains, we are free! Nautilus. ANUFACTURING electricity." That is the simple explanation of why far, far out on the lonely, wind-swept wave-beaten tip of Cape Cod at South Wellfleet, Mass., four giant skeleton towers rear themselves 210 feet into the air, each forming one of the four angles of a square. "M From their lofty tops stretches a mesh of wires, interlocked with spring. At their feet is a small building in which are housed two great engines and mighty dynamos, a roomful of powerful batteries and a lot of instruments which few people could understand. This is the high power station of the Marconi wireless—the station from which messages can be sent 1,500 miles to sea. It matters not—press dispatches, commercial messages, love words from a woman to her sweetheart or husband far out on the bosom of the ocean, stock quotations to the business man; this is the place from which they are sent to the last limit where the wireless from the shore can be picked up at sea. It is the jumping off place for the United States. In a bungalow, in the shadow of the mighty towers, dwell five men—the me nwo make it possible to reach ships at sea, the men who can save life by imparting the information they have about a disaster and calling other ships to the rescue. Two of them are operators—Marconi operators—and two of them electric engineers—Ginman and Simpson; Campbell and Nickerson. The fifth man is the steward, who cooks the meals for these lonely men so far from home, and makes their beds. There is a sixth man, H. C. Welby, who, prior to this time, was in charge of the station, but he is going to Seattle to erect another station there, just as he went to Jolo, in the Philippines, several years ago to put up one which the United States needed to get in touch with Manila. But the chief of them there now is Ginman—A. H. Ginman, the man who got the famous "C. Q. D." from Jack Binns of the Republic, and got to work to get help from ships far out at sea. Everybody takes his hat off to Binns, who stuck to his ship to the last, calling for aid. But had it not been for Ginman, who kept his wits, the news would never have reached the land nor would the ships that started at once to the rescue have heard the danger call, "C. Q. D." Mr. Ginman is just back from a well merited vacation in England, whence he halls. It was he who received the famous "C. Q. D." at Siasconset, on the end of Nantucket island, which resulted in the saving of every soul aboard the Republic. To him it was nothing—it is his business. To him the mere sending of a message out to sea is nothing more nor less than pumping at a big telegraph key for a few moments. To the layman it is a marvelous mystery. A representative of the press saw Ginman at work and spent the night in the office with him—the first person ever permitted within the bounds of this station, the biggest in the United States. "What are we doing?" laughed Ginman. "Why, we are manufacturing lightning, that's all! That's what long distance wireless really means." And then he led the way to this little station on the bleak confines of Cape Cod, to show how it is done. The big plant is surrounded by a barbed wire fence. Nobody may enter except the employees. Summer visitors may come to the edge of the fence, because nobody can buy up the ocean front, but they can't come in. Nobody can stop them from gazing at the four big towers, which can be seen for miles around the desolate, flat country, but there can they go and no further. How Marconi men send their short distance messages—250 miles or less—is no secret. That much of the process Ginman could explain. But what is done when words are flashed to ships half way across the ocean—the Marconi men are the only ones who can do it—is a real secret. There are four rooms in this little building which has so much to do with the ways of the world. One is filled with engines and dynamos. Another is crowded with batteries. A third holds the long distance apparatus and a fourth is where the operator sends his messages and receives them. "It is strictly against the rules," said Ginman, with a smile, "to allow any one to see how we work the long distance. But let me show you the short distance work. We'll let you hear us work the long distance—that's all. Here we are!" He led the way into a tiny room with a desk and a table. On the table was a telegraph key, ten times magnified, and a switch, just as large. Attached to two wires were two telephone receivers—exactly the same things that any office boy might put to his ears in an office which had a private branch exchange. To the left was an induction coil capable of a ten-inch spark and a mahogany box in which was fixed a small clockwork motor, surmounted by two small vulcanite disks connected by a band of iron wire. "Now," explained Ginman, "this is our short distance apparatus. With this we can send and receive for 250 miles in any direction. As a matter of fact, this is a long distance station, and we are called upon to send very few messages for short distance. Our business is to reach ships far out at sea. "Now, let me show you. I will call up Siasconset, on Nantucket island, 60 miles away, and get him to send you the famous letter S, the first letter which Mr. Marponi managed to send clear across the Atlantic, from the coast of Ireland to the coast of Nova Scotia." Ginman pulled down the switch, turned a lever which got him in "tune" with Nantucket and began to send. The great induction coil shot out its spark in blue special Master E. V. McKeever lied report to this effect in the supreme HOME of the WIRELESS OPERATORS phone receivers from his ears. "Put them on now and get the answer," he laughed. In about three seconds came back three little clicks in the ears—the letter "S" in the Continental code, which is used in the Marconi system. It was perfectly plain. Anybody who knew the telegraph code could easily read any message coming in. "Now I am thanking him," said Ginman, as he jolted out a few more blue sparks. Then he put the receiver to his ears. "He's answering," laughed Ginman. "He's saying: 'Ha! ha!'" But there were signs of business about the plant by this time. The engineers and electricians were on duty now. Mr. Webby had come in to send out the night's bulletins by long distance. In his hands was a resume of the day's news of the United States sent there by land wire by the Associated Press. This was to be sent by long distance wireless to all the ships at sea within a radius of 1,500 miles. "With this news," explained Mr. Welby, "we are going to reach the Regina d'Italia, La Provence, the Nieuw Amsterdam and the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria. They are all within our zone." Then he showed what is known among wireless men as "The Communication Chart." Every steamer for the month which is fitted with wireless is plotted on the chart by straight lines, showing her position on every given day, according to her average speed. The lines which cross at the date show just which steamers are within the radius of the long distance wireless. "Of course," explained Mr. Welby, "we can't tell just where they are, because no steamer could carry such a powerful plant as we have here, so they cannot answer us. But it is 9:30 p. m. here now, and they are all waiting to hear from us; while we can send, they cannot reply, and this is the prearranged hour, no matter where they may be at sea." "All right," was the call to the engine room. "All right!" came back the answer. "Here's some cotton," said Mr. Welby, "better put it in your ears. Most of us have to do it. It bores into your ear drums pretty badly." Suiting the action to the word, he plugged his own ears. "We are going to have a little thunder storm close at hand," laughed Ginman. It was almost uncanny—these men in rubber gloves, sitting on stools placed on rubber mats, their ears protected with cotton, getting ready to flash their news 1,500 miles to great ships on the bosom of the deep. Then the great engines chug-chugged and the dynamos began hissing. The power was at hand. Everybody was excluded from the room except the operator, Mr. Welby. He began to send. It was like a cannonade. Great sparks lighted the entire building as Mr. Welby shot out his news—north, east, south and west. The crackling of the electricity was intense—no wonder the cotton in the ears. It would have deafened a man not used to it. And this is a sample of what is sent: "Nashville: Coopers found guilty murder second degree, sentenced 20 years. Ball $25,000, each pending motion set verdict aside, because announced disagreement Stop Barrow-in-Furness: Gangway connecting battleship Vanguard wharf collapsed under 50 workmen. Vickers Maxime yards, three killed, 40 injured Stop Evansville: Nearly all of 37 miners Sunnyside Coal mine here believed killed by explosions afternoon Stop Grade: Alarm over possibility war Austria subsiding rapidly. Russian minister long conferences Milovanovich yesterday, to-day. Nothing officially given out but reason believe peaceful settlement controversy now only question hours. Stop." The word "Stop" means the end of a news item and that another is coming in. Of course, all these abbreviated wireless messages are filled out and published on the various ships in more extended form, some as bulletins and others as regular daily newspapers. Because of those ugly, grizzly, gray hairs. Use "LA CREOLE" HAIR RESTORER. PRICE, $1.00, retail. flashes. "You see," went on Ginman, "I am telling Nantucket that I want him to send back the letter 'S'—three dots, like this." And ashe spoke Ginman shot out three dots—or rather jolts—through his instrument. The motor kept turning around those two little disks connected by the band of iron wire, passing a magnet. Then he took the tele- "Start her up!" was the order. A. H. GINMAN tances; others are not. That depends on their plant. tances; others are not. That depends on their plant. "Every ship has its code signal—the Baltic is BC, the Lucania is LA, the New York is NK, the Minneapolis is MS, the Caronia is CA. Each wireless station has its code number, too. This station at South Wellfleet is CC; Siasconset on Nantucket island is SC. "When we get the danger signal from a ship we drop all commercial business and press dispatches and start to find the ships within our radius. We know from the chart just which they are and where they are. "The particular moment when Operator Irwin got the news from the Republic that the ship was rammed by an unknown steamer, Mr. Irwin came over and woke me up. It happened to be his eight-hour trick at Siasconset, because there we worked in eight-hour watches. I knew it was up to me to get help. I looked over the regular chart and found the steamers that were within touch with us. "Binns kept sending us his wireless messages with the information that his 'juice' was giving out and that it wouldn't last much longer. By aid of the submarine bell on Nantucket Shoals lightship his captain could tell the ship's latitude and longitude in the fog. This information he sent to us. "We found that the Baltic was closest to us. We kept sending out B C till we got her answer. Then we told them the story. Then we tackled the Lucania, and got her with the same news. Next the New York, and then the Minneapolis, tuning our instruments to catch each one. We even reached the Caronia, which was too far away to be of any service. "But that's an old story. Wireless is very simple—the simplicity of the thing is wonderful. If we have trouble we can find it out right here. On a telegraph line they have to employ a big force of linemen, and when anything happens they have to go out to see what's the matter, and even then they can't tell just where it is." And just then came a business message from a man in Chicago to another man on La Provence, nearly 1,500 miles away. It had been sent to New York, from thence another operator had hustled it along to Boston, and from Boston it had been sent out to Cape Cod, 103 miles away. La Provence was in midocean, but across the line which divides the European stations from the American stations.

That nation is England, which has a splendid school at Shoeburyness, where the British artillerymen receive the higher technical training necessary for all soldiers to have who serve in this particular branch of the service. The officers of the national guard coast artillery organizations of the various states are welcomed as students at the new school, and the government has great numbers of them taking advantage of the opportunity to make themselves proficient in their particular branch of the civilian arm of the service. The school is divided into two divisions, and these divisions in turn will be subdivided into many departments. The first division has the training of the student officers, while the second division has the training of the enlisted young fellows, who are at stated periods every year ordered to Fort Monroe to take the course that is expected to make them so proficient in their profession that they could exercise the command of a fort should the emergency ever render that duty on their part necessary. In the officers' divisions there are two main depart- izes him with the chemistry of all known explosives. He has to study the manufacture of all the explosives from the cheap black powder right up to the terrible nitrocellulose powders, such as the British lyddeite, the French mellite, the German "88," the Italian peritite, the Australian ecrasite and the Japanese shimose. He must also know, if he gets his diploma, everything about a projectile, how much powder it takes to shoot different projectiles different distances, how to manufacture them, and all about the effect of humidity on the speed of a projectile, how to handle powders of all kinds, how to preserve them, how to prevent explosive accidents, how to tell when there is danger in time to prevent the accident, and how to keep powder years and years without the composition losing power. In defense and offense the instruction is just as thorough, problems that are supposed to represent war conditions being given the students from time to time to work out, these problems being intended to familiarize them with their duties in all possible situations in time of war. There will be nothing about great guns that they won't be given a chance to learn, and this instruction will render them capable of caring for these great engines of war so that they will always be ready for instant service night or day. In range finding, elevation of rifles, in armor attack, how to ventilate magazines, everything imaginable about the use of the barometer and thermometer in these magazines, and the manufacture and construction of every device connected with modern coast artillery armament, the instruction is just as thorough as it can be made. In the department of electricity and mine defense the instruction in the use of the searchlight in defensive and offensive work from the shore is one of the most important subjects in this department, for than the searchlight there is no greater adjunct to the night work of the coast artillery corps of the present time. The officer must know everything about the telephone, the telegraph and the teletautograph, and he must be as nearly perfect as he can be made in understanding the operation and manufacture of the instrument. A curious tree grows in one of the numcrous islands which are studded about the Pacific ocean. It grows, at its full height, to nearly 30 feet, with branches spreading like a huge umbrella, yet it is completely leafless, the species having never been known to show signs of a single bud. Its sap is useful as a medicine, but as fuel the wood is worse than useless, being as hard as iron and quite as difficult to burn. GOVERNMENT TEACHES THE ART OF WAR. The United States Coast artillery school at Fort Monroe, Va., is where the officers and enlisted men of that most scientific branch of our modern army are trained and is the greatest and biggest institution of the kind. Maj. Thomas Ridgway was acting commandant of the school but gave way as commandant to Col. George F. E. Harrison. main departments: (1) The department of artillery and gun defense and (2) the department of electricity and mine defense. In the department of artillery and gun defense the student officers are as thoroughly trained as expert artillery can train them in all the important subjects of artillery proper, artillery defense, explosives, ballistics, while the department of electricity covers the great field of electricity, the student officer being taught the relation of electricity in all of its hundreds of branches to the coast artillery service of the present day. For instance, the officer when he is graduated from the new school, and the diploma will in this case be a true certificate of merit, will know nearly all that there is to know about practically every known means of electrical communication; he will be an expert in handling the searchlight as a means of defense and offense in war; he will know all about dynamos, how to operate them, and how to fix them; and, if necessary, he can come very near manufacturing one of them should the emergency demand it when he leaves Fort Monroe a graduate of this splendid establishment.

Radford, No. 61 Fifth Ave., Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. A cottage house with a chimney in front to break the monotony of a plain gable end is illustrated in this plan. Houses of this size and style have been built for a good many years. They are comfortable houses, but because they are cheap they have been crowded together in the poorer sections of some cities until the cast of fashion has discriminated against them. There is no good reason for prejudice against any house so simple and comfortable, but it is difficult to eradicate a prejudice, especially in house construction. In this plan, however, the one new feature, the main chimney, has so altered the appearance that it doesn't look like the same house. Ordinarily these gable-end cottages are built all on one floor, but not necessarily so, because there is considerable room under the roof that in these days of economy should be utilized to advantage. In this case there are three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, besides plenty of closet room. These upper rooms are large enough to be comfortable, and they may be built at very little extra cost over the ordinary one-story house. The big chimney in front helps to make the living room the most pleasant part of the house. This fine, large room is well lighted from three sides and it is large enough to hold every member of the family and a visitor or two to enjoy the open fire during winter evenings. This plan gives five rooms downstairs, which, with the three bedrooms on the second floor, makes an eight- room house; but you would never suspect it from the outside appearance. Of course the length of the house makes the eight rooms possible, the size being 27 feet 6 inches in width by 43 feet in length, exclusive of porches. It is seldom you find two bathrooms, even in a large house. For some unaccountable reason, or no reason at all, one bath is considered a luxury, two baths an extravagance. Why people have been denied bathing convenience for so many years is a CLOSET BATH BED ROOM 100'0" KITCHEN 30'0" PANTRY 100'0" BED ROOM 100'0" DINING ROOM 100'0" LIVING ROOM 100'0" FORCH 240'0" First Floor Plan mystery. But we are coming to our senses slowly. The time is coming, in fact, it is already here, when houses without bathrooms will be difficult to rent and they won't sell at any price. It is noticeable that when houses are vacant they are either shy on improvements or else they are so expensive that people cannot afford to live in them. But such is not the case with this gable-end cottage, for it may be bulld so cheaply that even a man on small salary can manage to build it and own it. I often think how much better it is for a young man to start in with such a property than it is to go along paying out good money for rent; money that never returns. The same rent money would pay the interest on a house like this and make a nice little payment every year on the principal. --- A great convenience is the back cellar way. It is all right to go down cellar from the house if you want to, but there are many times when an outside cellar way is almost a necessity. In fact, no house should be built without one, especially when there is a furnace and a laundry in the cellar. However, it is difficult to get people to understand this. In this plan the cellar wall is carried well up above grade. This costs a little more than the recent fashion of stopping the wall two feet lower DEDROOM 170' X 160' DATH 180' X 160' DEDROOM 180' X 160' DEDROOM 180' X 160' Second Floor Plan and piecing it out with studding. The studding will support the house all right if the work is well done and you can make a fair job of it, but to carry the wall up and put in a sill in the good, old-fashioned way is better. It is a question if the new-fangled stilting is sufficiently economical to render the new style of cellar wall construction desirable. It don't look right to me to build a cellar wall four feet high, then start a sort of trestle work reaching up THE HOME OF THE HERITAGE CENTER from the wall to the first floor. You are building a house to last a good many years. In my opinion it is more desirable to have it solid and right in every way, then you have no after regrets. How often one hears the expression: "If I had it to do over again, I would do better." Hindsight is often better than foresight, but that is because people build without proper plans. This is the cheapest kind of roof to build. The width of the house at the front and at the back is narrow enough so that two-by-four rafters may be used. A two-by-four rafter supported by a partition is stronger than a two-by-six reaching from the plate to the peak and unsupported, as many roofs are. The shape of a roof has a great deal to do with the strength of the building. Every carpenter realizes the fact that each shingle nail driven into the roof helps to stiffen the building—he can feel it as the building grows under him. But the man who pays out the money to have the nails driven is not always so well posted, otherwise there would not be so many freak roofs on dwelling houses. Where Liars Go. A little brown-eyed girl was called yesterday before Magistrate Furlong as a witness in the Gates Avenue court, Brooklyn, against a woman who was accused by the child's mother of calling her names and using improper language in the little one's presence. The judge asked the child: "Now, little one, do you know where little girls go who tell lies?" "Yes, sir; they go to jail." "Well, where do they go when they die?" the judge asked. "I know," said the child; "they go to the cemetery."—New York World. Eccentric and Irreverent.

During, superintendent of the Philadelphia City mission, has for many years devoted his life to the poor. Dr. During is the inventor of the pretzel test for street beggars. When a street beggar pleads starvation, you buy him a big German pretzel at the nearest stand. If he eats the pretzel, he is honest; if he refuses it, he is a fraud. Dr. During in his work among the poor has learned many odd, quaint things that he relates superbly, for he is a born story-teller. In an address at Bala, apropos of the hard, rough lives of the children of the poor, he related a dialogue between two little girls in Rum alley. "Maggie, wuz ye ever kissed?" said the first tot. "On'y wunst in me life wot I kin remember.' said the second. 'When I wuz in de Honnyman hospital wid a broken arm one o' de lady nusses kissed me, an' I blushed like a child.'" Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. A Slight Misunderstanding.

Thousands of women have written the story of their suffering, and have told how they were freed from it by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound—for thirty years these reports have been published all over America. Without great merit this medicine could never have gained the largest sale of any remedy for woman's ills—never could have become known and prized in nearly every country in the world. Can any woman let prejudice stand between her and that which will restore her health? If you believe those who have tried it you know this medicine does cure.

It was entitle "The Negro Pew" Being an Inquiry Concerning the Proprity of Distinctions In the House of God on account of color. It was published without the author's name by Isaac Knapp, at Cornhill in 1837. Without doubt and reason of prudence caused the writer to withhold his name because the slavery question was already acute at Boston. "Suppose" says the author, a church should set apart a seat for red haired people. Would a red headed man or woman ever be found in that church? Or suppose there should be a row for the exclusive use of the humpbacked. Would it ever be occupied? "No man would be willing that his constitutional peculiarities which God gave him should exclude him from equal privileges in the house of God. It therefore follows that no one ought to desire any of his fellow beings to be subject to such exclusion for a similar cause. The real cause of prejudice, however, is not color, but the caste feeling He called the fear of amaganation a scarecrow and said that the mingling of the races was going on all the time, even at the north, and that in the South it had made rapid strides. He give this illustration: "A young physician went to the south, where he became acquainted with a worthy young woman who was at service without having the sliffhtest suspicion that there was a drop of Atrican blood in her veins. They were married and had lived happily together for some time when a gentleman called, took the husband aside and informed him that the wom an was his property. The astonished husband was obliged either to pay the man his price for his own wife or have her exposed at public sale. He chose the former. On informing his wife of the circumstances she remarked, with tears, that she had supposed the gentleman, seeing her well provided for, would not molest her especially as he was her own father.
