WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE Do you know it is a mother's place to train their daughters in the way they should go. Why not train them to read high-class literature, learn music, cultivate their voice or any other art that makes them refined. Will the time ever come when the young men of our race will stop making dirty remarks about their women. Why not have the utmost respect for them. Because if you do not respect your own women no one else has the right to respect them for you. First respect yourself and others will respect you. The greatest necessity of the colored man is education. Someone may say money. That is true enough, but the higher one is educated the more money he demands. I cannot see how any man expects to hold a first-class position of any kind without the proper amount of mental training which he is compelled to have in order that he might be capable. Education is the life blood of this nation; it rules the earth for all times and those who possess it will be its kings. Can an uneducated nation lead an educated nation? The answer is no. MADISON NEWS. The law firm of Bird & Rogers was wrongly accused by some envious party in our own county. Col. Bird and ex-Mayor Rogers would not be guilty of such a deed. They have been doing everything in their power to bring the Democratic national convention to our city. The Editor of the Wisconsin Weekly Advocate made a short visit to the capital this week. There have not been any positions offered to any colored boy or girl since the days of Gov. Hoard. How is this? While at the capital city this week we called at the law office of ex-Mayor Rogers and on directing his attention to the Sentinel article respecting his attitude toward the national Democratic convention coming to Milwaukee Mr. Rogers said: "I knew nothing about the Sentinel until my return home last week from the West, where I had been for two weeks before the article was published. I have not read the article and only know its contents by hearsay. I do know, however, that I am in favor of Milwaukee for the holding of the next national Democratic convention. I also know that Mayor Rose will remember that on the morning of the 20th day of last July he accompanied me to the room of Col. Bryan at the Sherman house, Chicago, where I made a personal request of Col. Bryan that he would not commit himself against Milwaukee. I have not written a letter nor have I mailed a newspaper to any member of the national committee relative to the subject. While I am not a member of the committee for securing the convention for Milwaukee I stand ready to do what I can to accomplish that end." WAUKESHA. WIS. It affords us great pleasure to make mention to our many readers of the name of the Hon. Mr. King, sheriff of Waukesha county. This gentleman is worthy of his position and deserves great praise. He has all the qualities which bring success to any man holding a position as sheriff. Everything in his office is kept in first-class order and nothing would please him better than to have his many friends call and see him. He is a gentleman in every sense of the word, and one of the best friends the colored people have in the state. We need not say anything about his staff because all of the gentlemen under Hon. Mr. King are all right. "SUNDAY CLUB" MATTEES. The Young Men's Sunday club met in the parlors of St. Mark's church last evening, and, as usual, had a very interesting meeting. The club is just beginning to get in good working order and the members hope, from now on, to furnish a first-class entertainment every Sunday. Attorney Green addressed the meeting upon the progress of the negro in the United States from both a collective and individual standpoint. His remarks were well expressed, and the statistics set forth by him showing the strides of the negro in all the avenues of life were, to the majority of the people present, more favorable than had been naturally supposed. His interesting discourse lasted for about the space of one hour, after which the meeting adjourned to meet next Sunday, the 21st inst., at 3:30 p. m. The programme for next Sunday will consist of a paper to be read by Will L. Hawkins upon "The Effects of Trusts to the Community at Large;" an address by Mr. Crawford White, subject, "Why I am a Vegetarian," and music will be rendered by the Sunday Club quartette. This club should receive the hearty support of all the colored men in this community, and, while the constitution of the club does not admit of lady membership, still, their presence is solicited and they are assured courteous treatment. It is the purpose of the Young Men's Sunday club, when the attendance will warrant it, to be addressed by prominent white men of the city. —Prince Louis Napoleon, who wanted to go to Africa and fight for the Boers, is the most prominent member of the Bonaparte family. He is a man in his early thirties, of a reticent and even saturnine disposition. He is a colonel of one of the Russian guard regiments, and it was the Czar that refused to grant him leave to fight the English. WHO IS THE ROEMER DRUG CO? BRASELL All lines of business have come to that point where cheap labor and shoddy goods, and adulterated foods and medicines are being palmed off on the unsuspecting public to such an extent that one must depend largely upon the honesty of the dealer. Thus it is the duty of every purchaser to know from whom they are buying. Being comparative strangers in this city and realizing that the people have this right and should demand to know from whom they are buying, we take pleasure in furnishing these few facts regarding the Roemer Drug Company. While we realize the fact that "self praise is no recommendation," yet we are at a loss to know how we can bring these facts before the public in any other way; hence we trust that they may be received in the same spirit in which they are given. The firm is composed of but two members—H. Roemer and F. J. Roemer—father and son. H. Roemer has his residence at Bellaire, Ohio, where he is President of the First National Bank, and also President and Treasurer of the Bellaire Stove Company. F. J. Roemer, who is the manager and treasurer of the Roemer Drug Co., received his training in the drug business at Bellaire, O., in a retail pharmacy and CREAM CITY NOTES. We call the attention of the subscribers and many friends of the Advocate to the cut of our headquarters, and advertisement of our work, published on the fourth page of this issue. * * * Mrs. Deweze of Chicago is the guest of Mrs. James Maxie of 41 Fifth street. She is looking the picture of health and feels much at home with her many friends. We wish her a jolly good time during her stay. * * * We have just received a few words from our friend, Mr. William Miller, now of Chicago. He has begun his work and no doubt will be a great leader of his profession some day. We miss him very much, as he was a constant visitor at our office. The Swift Packing company was very wise in selecting for its manager Mr. J. W. Bullard. This is one of the largest firms of its kind in this country. Its meats are the very best that can be gotten anywhere; the place is kept neat and clean. It is a source of pleasure to visit the building and it is an honor to the entire company. The staff is composed of the following: J. W. Bullard, manager; William C. Zima, salesman; Max Huilf, salesman; Max Miller, salesman, Frank Schmidt, salesman; Arthur Helmuth, traveling salesman; Paul Hauser, cashier; Frank N. Berry, collector; A. C. Douglass, book-keeper. The Roemer Drug company, wholesale and retail druggists. Mr. F. J. Roemer is manager and treasurer. This is a handsome gentleman. He is kind, polite, up-to-date in every way. He is also a staunch friend of the colored people. It is a source of pleasure to have the chance to visit his drug store. Everything is first-class and yet very reasonable. This company needs special mention for the fine cigars they carry; in fact, every article in the store deserves praise. Much success to you. Roemer. He is now on the subscribers' list for the Weekly Wisconsin Advocate. Y. P. S. C. E. The Y. P. S. C. E. held its last meeting of the year on December 31st, 1899, with very appropriate exercises. The singing was a feature of the evening's entertainment, as was also the paper read by Mrs. E. Blackwell of 256 7th St. upon the accomplishments of the local society during the present year. It hardly seems possible to an outsider not acquainted with the workings of this organization, that so many benefits would be found in a society of such a small membership, but it only goes to show that no matter how small a society is, if its purpose be a good one, and its members in earnest, success cannot help but be the result. The Y. P. S. C. E. has been a great benefit to St. Mark's church in a financial way, and its entertainments during the year have, to a great extent, increased the social sphere of the church. Mrs. * * * ```markdown ``` *** MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, JANUARY 18, 1900. at Wheeling, W. Va., where he was secretary and treasurer of a wholesale drug house. In September, 1897, he came to this city to look the ground over, but it was not until April, '98, that the present business was purchased from the Grand Ave. Drug Co. At that time the stock was very much run down and the patronage in a somewhat similar condition. Up to this time we have increased our stock over three-fold and the sales nearly four-fold. We account for this remarkable increase in about nineteen months from the fact that we base our business upon the Golden Rule. In our native city the name of "Roemer" is synonymous with honesty and integrity, and it shall be our aim to build for ourselves such a reputation here in this city. In charge of our Prescription and Drug Departments we have placed Mr. A. A. Shead, who is assisted by Mr. Hugo F. Wussow. Mr. Shead is very widely and favorably known all over the city, having in previous years been proprietor of three different drug stores in different parts of the city. Mr. Wussow, who several years ago served as a relief clerk, made many friends, as his work brought him in every part of the city. We bespeak for ourselves and our employes your patronage, as we believe we deserve your confidence. Blackwell's paper was very interesting, and brought out the facts before mentioned in a forcible manner. We regret very much that for lack of space we are compelled to make only a passing note of the same. The programme was further carried out by a very interesting essay written by Mrs. Robert Gant upon the moral accomplishments of the national organization of the Y. P. S. C. E. since its organization at Portland, Me., down to the present date. Mrs. Gant's paper was well written and showed considerable research and thought. One of the main points brought out was an illustration of necessity being the mother of invention. The Y. P. S. C. E. was termed, according to Mrs. Gant, on account of the necessity of finding some way to interest the new converts in church work, and at a meeting of converts, which was called in Portland, Me., in the year 1880 by the pastor of Williston church, twenty-eight converts signed the constitution of the present society, whose membership has now grown to 3,400,000. Some of the principal accomplishments of the society, as set forth in the above-named paper, were the obliterating, to a large extent, of the racial prejudice by constant intermingling of the white and colored organizations. The better observance of the Sabbath, due to the hostility of the society to every violation of the Lord's day; and its tendency towards making a general improvement in the condition of mankind. Mrs. Lottie Hughes rendered a very impressive solo. Mr. Bess sang a real touching solo. A paper was read by Miss Tillie Sharp: subject, "Education," which was well treated. The song "Thy Will be Done" was rendered by Mamie Anderson. Her voice was loud but sweet. After the musical part of the programme was over Rev. Knight made a few remarks, but to the point and encouraging. Didn't Understand the Menu. An old farmer, who was in the habit of cating what was set before him, asking no questions, dropped into a Memphis cafe for dinner, says the Scimitar. The waiter gave him the menu card and explained to the old gentleman that it was the list of dishes the cafe served for dinner that day. Accordingly he began at the top of the bill of fare and ordered each thing in turn until he had covered about one-third of it. The prospect of what was still before him was too overpowering, yet there were some things at the end that he wanted to try. He called the waiter and confidentially marking off the spaces on the card with his index finger, said: "Look here, I've et frum thar to thar. Can I skip from that to thar and eat on to the bottom?"

TWENTIETH CENTURY MEMORIAL: Asked in the Form of $2000 which will Assist in Erecting a Female Seminary Where the Light of Education is Much Needed. Monrovia, Liberia, West Coast of Africa, Aug. 29, 1899.—Hon. John G. Jones, 33, Most Illustrious Sovereign Grand Commander—Sir and Brother: The establishment of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Free Masonry and the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine and the Council of Royal and Select Masters of the Cryptic Rite of Free Mason in the republic of Liberia have already carved your illustrious name high upon the escutcheon of fame and will be a landmark to generations yet unborn. Yet here is one more crown I want you to win, and that is to use your influence in the United States of America with our illustrious craftmen and the National Grand Court of Daughters of Sphinx and other citizens and raise $2000 as a Twentieth century Masonic thanks offering unto God. The same to be styled "The John G. Jones Masonic Memorial Female seminary." I am engaged in the educational work here at the Ricks institute, but tremble for the future of this grand negro republic when I look over the country from Cape Mount to Cape Palmas and from the Atlantic to the Soudan, and nowhere can I see a female school and no one seems to be interested about the matter. What is the use of us spending money and time educating the boys in Liberia as the girls who are to be the future mothers of our statesmen and Presidents in the future, if they are to grow up in ignorance. As I said in the beginning, you have made your name immortal if you do no more, but through your great and illustrious name now I appeal to you to push this very important question before our illustrious craftsmen and the National Grand Court, Daughters of Sphinx, and the people everywhere to raise $2000 for this female seminary. I have the land already secured, a beautiful and healthy location just one mile from the city of Monrovia, Liberia. The $2000 can be raised in the United States through the aid of the Masons and the people generally and not be felt. Two or three grand banquets would settle the whole question for that purpose. Let me hear from you at an early date, saying that you will do what you can, then I will have a basis to work on in Liberia and Europe in raising the balance of $8000. You have wonderfully pleased the white Masons in Europe in so successfully establishing those higher degrees of Free Masonry in the Republic of Liberia, Africa, so much so that European statesmen speak of you in glowing terms, and when you visit Europe and Africa your reception will eclipse that of any other American Negro who has ever set foot on European and Eastern soil. Now, as every church, state and country are trying to do something as a Twentieth century memorial, and our honorable and illustrious order of Free Masonry is in advance of any and all other social and beneficial orders in the world, and you are now the recognized head of Free Masonry all over the globe, now get unto yourself more glory by taking hold of this "John G. Jones Masonic Memorial Female Seminary" at Monrovia, Liberia. You can, through your influence with the illustrious craftsmen and the National Grand court, Daughters of Sphinx, and the people everywhere, give Liberia a grander boom still than the one she has received already. My heart is in this work and I turn to you for help. I will send an appeal to the Leader at Washington, D.C., and other papers. Please send me your endorsement to accompany my appeal. Hon. Owen L. W. Smith is well. Fraternally yours. R. O. Gray. 32 Didn't Know the New Name. The San Francisco Bulletin describes a visit by Joaquin Miller, "the poet of the Sierras," to his former home: "Creek channels have been diverted in the hunt for gold and many old landmarks have been swept away, but Joaquin Miller's unerring memory aids him in relocating the exact spots on which many historic things occurred. But sometimes the changes wrought upon the past by the present are painfully evident. Mr. Miller employed a driver to take him about the hills of this vicinity. When near old Shasta town the poet recalled a certain small stream where he and several of the Shasta pioneers, who were pupils, held Sunday readings in the '50s. They named the stream Meander rivulet. Miller mentioned the name to his driver and asked to be taken there. After beating about for an hour the driver asked a description of Meander rivulet. When it was given him he exclaimed: "H--! man, you mean Tadpole creek!" The art of paper making has reached the point where it is possible to cut down a growing tree and convert it into paper suitable for printing purposes within twenty-four hours. FROM CUBA. WHERE THE GREAT EXILE DIED People of St. Helena Are Happy and Crime is Almost Unknown. Few people even think of St. Helena except as a rock in the sea on which Napoleon lived a while miserably and then more miserably died. That the greatest of anti-climaxes was not the end of the little island's history is hard to realize, because a poet or romancer would have made it the end, and a continuation is therefore more or less unnatural and absurd. Be that as it may, St. Helena has remained the abiding place of ordinary human beings who concern themselves very little about the colossal ghost generally supposed to be the island's only inhabitant, and the report to the English government just made by their governor shows exactly like those of the folks dwelling in places less tragically famous. For instance, the revenues of the island last year were £9152, a decidedly comfortable sum, but alas! the expenditures amounted to £12,349, and that is an excess of outgo not comfortable at all. The governor says, however, that the bad balance was due to some extraordinary drains upon the island's resources, and that he anticipates a substantial surplus for the current year. A recent increase of the garrison and extensive improvements now making by the colonial and imperial authorities assure the immediate prosperity of the islanders. St. Helena has no public debt, but is paying off by small annual installments a non-interest-bearing grant of £5000 made by Parliament in 1871. The imports, chiefly foodstuffs and building materials, amounted last year to £62,985, and the exports, almost wholly potatoes, to £4.391. Lace making has been introduced among the girls of the island with great success, and the governor is experimenting with the manufacture of brick and tile. The whalers have now entirely deserted St. Helena, the few ships engaged in that industry keeping far to the north or south. The total population of the island is 4543. The governor hopes that winter visitors from England may be tempted by the salubrity of the climate to try St. Helena, which is superior, he says, in some respects to that of Madeira and the Canary islands. He says the people as a whole compare favorably with the English agricultural population; with few exceptions all can read and write, and the language is spoken with greater purity than in many districts at home. As a rule, the people are happy and contented, with little crime among them and much kindness in helping each other. Strangers are greatly impressed with the general civility to them by old and young.—New York Times. The California Missions The first California mission—that of San Diego de Alcala—was founded in 1769. By the year 1800, there were eighteen missions, dotting a line 500 miles long, north and south. Three more were established in the present century. The most successful of the twenty-one—as it is one of the most beautiful—was San Luis Rey. In its glory it had over 2800 Indian neophytes at one time. The total number of converts of all the missions was nearly 90,000—not a bad record for less than sixty years among savages. There are those to whom it is comforting to believe that this "converting" was done "at the point of the sword." This, however, is not history. Imagine, for a moment, a frontier outpost; two priests, four soldiers, two thousand Indians; sixty miles away a similar establishment; fifteen hundred miles away—and no railroads—considerable reinforcements. Anyone who likes to think this was coercion, is welcome to. Looking upon these noble piles, built a century ago in a land farther from civilization than anything we have left for a frontier; buildings larger than any our forefathers were at the same time building upon the Atlantic seaboard; the monastery at San Fernando, for instance, is 240x66 feet), and indisputably of better architecture; remembering that the workmen who built these "American Pyramids" were not Yankee mechanics, but naked Indians who had never built houses for themselves; that where there were no contractors and no supplies, churches were built which could not be replaced for $100,000 in the California of today—why, one has to feel respect not only for the zeal, but for the "horse sense" of these bygone missionaries.—Charles F. Lummis in Truth. Gambling in New York. A dapper, fashionably-dressed member of the gambling fraternity rode downtown with me the other day on the elevated road. I had not seen him in three years, says the "Tip of the Tongue" man in the New York Press. "How and what are you doing?" I ventured. "You appear prosperous." "Just making a bare support," he said. "I'm running a poolroom in Harlem, but after putting up with the police there ain't much left." "Many rooms open?" "All over town." "Where is your brother? I haven't laid eyes on him in half a decade." "Oh, he's running a room away downtown. Got good patronage." "He isn't a bad fellow." "Well, he'll flag you, but there's worse than him." Wanted, a "Best Your Uncle." An old man and his nephew went out walking one day. The latter, who made good use of his eyes, noticed over many shop windows the word "Restaurant." Every time they passed an eating house the nephew would say, "There's another restaurant." The old man could not take in such a long word, and in his ears it sounded very much like "Rest your aunt." Presently, feeling rather hungry with his long walk, he caught hold of his nephew's arm, and said: "See here, ladie, keep your eyes about, and the next eating house we come to where it says 'Rest your uncle,' let me know, and we'll go in and sit down."

If he has spoken falsely, then her feeling's one of pain; But if his statement is sincere, joyous tears she can't restrain. Twas at the dinner table—he into her eyes did look.

I do not like to take up personal cases, as we detectives call a certain class of work, so when Miss Angell of Broadside street sent for me to take up a "small personal mystery" I responded with a poor grace. Scarcely had she begun to tell her story, however, than I became so interested that I begged her to continue and tell me the details as far as possible. Miss Angell was engaged to Mr. Cloud—a peculiar combination of names to begin with, and was devotedly attached to him. In fact, she confessed with tears in her eyes that his love was more, or had been more, than life to her. The rest of the story I will let her tell in her own words. "Mr. Cloud," she said, "is in the habit of calling on me almost every evening. About a week ago he came to dinner, invited by mamma. He was to attend a supper of the Phoenix club at 10 o'clock, and wore evening dress. "At the table we noticed an exquisite shield pin he wore. It shone so brilliantly that it caught the eye at once. Mr. Cloud took the pin off and it was passed around the table for us all to examine. "It was a shield as large as a quarter with the outside edge bordered with pure rubies, blood red, all of a size and without a flaw. The center of the shield consisted of a large diamond cut not very deep, yet too deep to be sunken, so it was elevated in a wire setting. Around the diamonds were perfectly matched black pearls. The combination was so unusual that we exclaimed as we danced the jewel and I remarked that I had never seen it before. "When we had finished examining it Mr. Cloud said: 'That is my Phoenix club badge. tI belongs to the president. When I was elected the badge was presented to me by the members and when I resign, and a new president comes in, I must give up the badge to him. It is the president's badge, to be owned by him during his term of office. Of course, it is only to be worn at the meetings.' "Mamma spoke of its great value. Yes, said Mr. Cloud, 'it is indeed very valuable. It is worth thousands. If I were to lose it I should feel ruined, as I could never hope to replace it." "As he spoke Mr. Cloud's face became very serious. 'We once had a case of that kind,' said he—a most curious case. The president lost his badge and committed suicide next day. You see he was suspected of having sold it.' "After we had looked at the badge and talked about it, I very foolishly asked to wear it, and in a fit of waywardness I reached across the table, took it up and put it in the bow of ribbon at my throat. "At the close of the meal, Mr. Cloud asked me for it, but I, to tease him, said I meant to keep it, and ran up stairs with it on. "After they were seated in the parlor I stole quietly down the stairs and placed the pin in the lining of Mr. Cloud's overgait, directly under the lane. "I went back up to my room and came down stairs again. I found mamma and my sister seated alone in the parlor. Mr. Cloud had gone out to send a telegram. He would be back in a minute. "When he returned, which was after half an hour, he came in for only a minute, to say goodbye, he said, and to ask for his pin: 'Come, Mazie,' he said, 'you have teased me long enough. Let me have the pin now. I must go.' "I gave it back to you,' I said, 'and you have it now. Then I stood up and running my fingers along the lapel of his coat felt for the pin. It was gone! felt the color leaving my face, I said: 'I gave it back.' "My mother looked up surprised and Mr. Cloud stared at me, 'Yes, I gave it back. I put it on your coat. You must have it.' "Why, Mazie,' said Mr. Cloud, 'how can you say so.' I passed over the disagreeable scene which followed. I will not mention Mr. Cloud's chagrin or my mother's amazement, even as I explained how I had stolen down the stairs and had fastened the precious pin in the lapel of the coat, just for fun and how I intended after teasing him to tell him that it was there. As I talked I could see my mother's incredulous looks and Mr. Cloud's absolute dismay. They did not believe me." "After the most painful quarter of an hour which I ever expect to spend Mr. Cloud left, shaking hands cordially with my mother and saying a cold goodnight to me. "After he had gone my mother said: 'Mazie, my darling girl, tell the truth. It is not too late.' "There is nothing more to tell, mother.' I said. 'I have told you the whole truth.' "After a while my mother saw that I was in earnest and she believed me. But as next day came and passed, and no word came from Mr. Cloud, I saw that he doubted me. The third day there came a formal note saying that if I would return the pin he would give me its value in money, paying me as rapidly as his circumstances would permit. As it was valued at many thousands, it was then beyond his means. "I tore the note into bits and did not reply. "That was a week ago. For the first three days I was too much overcome by mortification to take any steps toward establishing my innocence. But now that I am in a soberer mind I wish to learn, if possible, what became of the pin after I placed it in the lining of the lapel of Mr. Cloud's coat and where it now is." The recital took some time, for the young lady's emotion overcame her more than once. And I must confess that I, too, felt indignant for her. First that fate should have played so unkind a trick upon so beautiful a young girl; and secondly, that her lover, Mr. Cloud, should have doubted her so easily. "I am willing," she said, "to spend any amount to clear myself of this disgraceful suspicion, and hope, with your assistance, to solve the mystery." "It is so long a time," I began, "if you—" "Yes, I know," said she, impatiently. "Still," I said, "I will do my best. But you must allow me to talk with Mr. Cloud. That will be absolutely necessary." At this she became greatly alarmed, but finally consented. That same day I called on Mr. Cloud and was received by him in his private office. He was not cordial, and I soon saw that, while he would not accuse the young lady, he thought she had kept the pin. He told me that, on leaving the parlor, he had put on his overcoat and had gone to the nearest telegraph office to send a message. There, meeting an old friend, he had gone into a cafe and taken a drink, after which he had returned to the house of his fiancee, having been gone about half an hour. "Tell me the name of the cafe," I said. Having carefully noted the names and addresses of all concerned during that half hour, I left Mr. Cloud and I will do him the justice to say that I think he was half-convinced that he might have made a mistake. Going first to the telegraph office, I waked from there to the cafe. At that moment a wagon stood in front of the door and they were bringing out the soiled table linen. An inspiration came to me, and I said to the driver: "How often do you take away the linen?" "Twice a week," said he. "But this week we had a breakdown and we are late, and it's almost eight days." As the driver started away I said: "I want to search that load of napkins and if you will drive them into that vacant lot I will pay you well for your trouble." Once in the lot I overhauled the contents of the wagon thoroughly; and was finally rewarded by feeling a hard jump of something which hurt my hand as I pinched it. Looking closer I saw tangled in the fringe a glittering jewel, which, as I extricated it, proved to be the diamond set in the gorgeous pin which had been so accurately described to me by Miss Angell. I did not let the driver know of my booty, but making an excuse that I could not find what I wanted. I walked away, nor did I stop until I had telegraphed to Mr. Cloud. A few minutes later I sat in the parlor of Miss Angell's residence talking to her. When I had told my story and laid the pin in her lap her joy knew no bounds. Just at that moment Mr. Cloud was announced, and Miss Angell then and there gave him the pin. I never saw a girl so happy. She almost hugged me. As soon as Mr. Cloud saw his mistake he was humbly apologetic and tried to fall at her feet, but she waved him away, and Mrs. Angell delicately suggested that as his presence would always remind them of a painful character it would be better if he were to go away and stay away! I may add that when Mr. Cloud went into the cafe the pin was in the lapel of the coat, but, becoming entangled in the fringe of his napkin, was pulled out and would have been lost forever had it not been for the perseverance of the plucky Miss Angell.—New Orleans Times-Democrat FLOWERS OF THE VELDT. Varied and Remarkable Flora-A Place Where Everything Grows. It is an old disproved libel on South Africa to say that her birds are without song, and her flowers without smell. Neither statement is true. The flora and fauna of the Cape Colony, Natal and the Transvaal are various and fascinating. Many of the birds sing and many of the flowers have perfumes peculiarly their own. The gigantic Cape disa and the glorious Table Mountain heaths, of hundreds of varieties, have certainly no heavy perfume, but, on the other hand, the thousands of quaint little peeping veldt flowers, from pimpernel to orchid, have subtle suggestive odors which are exquisite and refreshing. In the Cape Colony for many miles between the Peaarl and Cape Town the line is bordered with so-called "pig lilies." These are none other than our carefully tended and garden-produced arums. But in South Africa they grow wild and in luxurious profusion. Near Ceres there are great fields full of these snowy-white blooms with their orange-yellow pistils; and to see a couple of little nigger children playing about in this amplitude of whiteness is a delightful study in black and white. Up in the Transvaal, if a farmer cultivates flowers at all—and all Boers are not unappreciative of beauty as their detractors suggest—he almost always has on his stoop, or veranda, a couple of tubs containing plants of keitje perring. This is the gardenia of the commercial London buttonhole. It is smaller, certainly, but equally exquisite in scent, and with a little care it flowers in great profusion. The tuberose also flourishes amazingly in the open air with but the smallest attention and cultivation. The bulbs, shoot up their three-foot or four-foot stems, each bearing very sweet-smelling flowers, in an incredibly short space of time. In Pretoria roses are prolific—in fact, most of the streets are bounded by rose hedges throughout their length, and they bloom with a frail pink monthly rose blossom for three quarters of the year. In public places, such as the Burghers park, the profusion of roses, lilies, carnations and tuberoses is bewilderingly beautiful. The wild orchids of Swaziland are famous. They are of at least twenty different kinds, and, although now no longer rare or valuable, they are extremely curious, and with a little care and extra heat they can be induced to develop into very wonderful plants. Everything grows in the Transvaal, if the trouble is taken to plant it. The soil being all practically virgin and naturally rich, the very smallest amount of attention is required, and the results obtained in only a few months are simply marvelous. The blue gum, or common chalcyptus tree, flourishes amazingly, and from a tiny seedling grows to twenty feet height within three years. This seems surprising, but it is hard, solemn fact. A well-known English tenor who was traveling in the Transvaal once remarked that he verily believed that if you planted walking sticks you could reap umbrellas in a fortnight. On nearly every veranda in Johannesburg grows the easily-trained and useful grenadilla. This is a species of passion flower, with a pretty little feathery starred flower and a very delicious egg-shaped, crinkled-up brownish-green fruit, containing a yellow pulp with many flat black seeds. It has a cooling, slightly acid, flavor, which must be tried to be appreciated. The grenadilla grows easily and quickly, and in flower, in fruit and in foliage is very beautiful. London Mail. Story of a Brave Girl. A novel sight was enjoyed by a large crowd, which for nearly an hour surrounded the platform of the West Somerville depot of the Boston & Maine railroad on Thursday afternoon. An express was ordered to take a trunk from a Francesca avenue residence for transportation by train to Boston. About 1:30 o'clock the expressman left the trunk on the platform. In white paint on the front side appeared in large letters the legend: "Bride's Trunk. To be Married Dec. 14." As might be expected, the curious sight attracted a large number of people. They laughed, joked and wondered, and then their curiosity was increased a hundredfold by the sudden appearance of a handsome young woman armed with a quantity of cloths and a bottle of naphtha. Not in the least abashed by the inquisitive throng of "rubbernecks," she at once got upon her knees and set to work washing off the unwelcome lettering. It was a slow task, but for half an hour she stuck to the work until it was completed, never once paying any attention to the good-natured bantering of the onlookers. After the lettering had been removed she remained twenty-five minutes at the depot window, keeping close watch for the possible reappearance of the practical joker. He discreetly kept out of sight. The lady saw the trunk checked and started to Boston on the 2:30 train, after which, with a smile of satisfaction, she quietly walked up Elm street in the direction of her home.-Boston Journal. BAYONETED THE BOERS. Enemy Forced to Retire with a Loss Rensberg, Cape Colony, Monday, Jan. 15.—The Boers this morning attempted to rush a hill held by a company of the Yorkshires and the New Zealanders, but they were repulsed at the point of the bayonet. The Boers had twenty-one men killed and about fifty wounded. CINCHED BY THE CENSOR. No News of the Moving Armies will be Allowed to Pass. London, Jan. 16.—2:50 p. m.—The complete absence of news from Natal up to this hour proves that the censorship will allow nothing to pass until Gen. Buller's plans are executed or have failed. Even Gen. Roberts in his report of yesterday evening refrained from mentioning a word about Natal or Gen. Buller. From the other columns there is little news of moment. Modder river advises of yesterday's date only report daily long-range shelling, from which the Boers are supposed to have suffered severely. A dispatch from Sterketroom dated Monday, January 15, reports that Gen. Garacre's troops had made a demonstration beyond Molteno, in the direction of Stormberg, in the belief that the Boers intended to seize Molteno. The burghers were not sighted and the British remained at Molteno. Arrivals from Stormberg estimate that there are 4500 Boers at that place, mostly revolted colonists and Free Staters. President Steyn's brother is in the landdrost. Gen. French continues to shell the Boer positions, but nothing decisive has taken place. LADYSMITH IN SORE STRAITS. The Last Attack was Disastrous to the British Pretoria, Saturday, Jan. 13. As a result of the bombardment of Mateking yesterday the British fort at Eastward was demolished and the British retired. One Boer was wounded. Advices from the head laager at Ladysmith report that the attack on that place January 6 was disastrous to the British and that Ladysmith appears to be in sore straits. GEN. BULLER'S PLANS. Report that Warren is Across the Tugela 1s Discredited. New York, Jan. 16.—A dispatch to the World from London says: Mr. Williams, the war expert of the Morning Leader, writing for this morning's paper with the best information obtainable says this regarding the report that Gen. Warren had crossed the Tugela river; "Gen. Warren, with his division and something more, was yesterday five miles to the northwest of Springfield, where Gen. Buller then had his headquarters. Consequently the censor at Durban has been having a little amusement with the local press for the purpose of deceiving any spies the enemy may have and then confusing them. "All the inferences drawn from any telegrams which have so far runched us must be erroneous." One and for all Buller's movement is by the left. There he has his strength. His plan is to turn the heights north and northwest of Colenso and thus compel their evacuation, and then to attack any Boers left between him and Gen. White and make connection with Gen. White's force. After that he may keep the Transvaalers on the run through Natal to Laing's Nek or Charlestown; or he may decide on separating the Free Staters from the strong men of war and make with his main force for Harrismith and Bloemfontein. News of the first success of these operations should reach us about Wednesday or Thursday. "All that can be said actually is that Gen. Buller up to yesterday was still at Springfield. Gen. Warren was on a hill nearly midway between Springfield and Bethnay, and Gen. Buller had assuredly one, and it is believed two, passages of the river on his hands. "Gen. Buller can spare a sufficient number of irregulars to send a flying column or them into Zululand, nominally to check the Boer cattle raiders, but really to work around the extreme eastern flank and head for the Utrecht and Vryheid districts, unless they can cut in on the Transvaal communication and find themselves at or near the Ladysmith & Newcastle railway." The attacks on the war office and the information bureau have been renewed in several quarters. It is declared, here that, when Winston Churchill first arrived in Natal he had maps of the northern portion of the colony procured from foreign sources, which were better than any possessed by the generals there, and he loaned them to the commanders. The newspapers now say that experts in the war office have been operating with a large scale map of northern Natal, printed upon seventy sheets, which was borrowed from the German war department after the situation about Glencoe and Ladysmith became critical. GEN. METHUEN'S BLUNDER Magensfortein Disaater Has Alien- ated His Entire Force. London, Jan. 16. Evidence accumulates that Gen. Methuen's blunder at Magersfontein has lost him the confidence of his entire force to such an extent that, it is declared, it is doubtful if the troops would follow him in another attack on the Boers. The war office is understood to be in possession of a letter written by Gen. Wauchope the night before the battle saying that would be the last letter he would ever write, as he had been asked to perform an impossible task and he had either to obey or surrender his sword. An immediate change in the command of the force may, therefore, be expected. It is anticipated in some quarters that Lieut.-Gen. Tucker will succeed Gen. Methuen. BOER DEAD AT LADYSMITH. British Guns Seem to Have Worked Hayes Among the Bodies Ladysmith, Monday, Jan. 8.—(By messenger to Weenen, Jan. 16.)—A representative of the Associated press visited Saturday's battlefield this morning and saw large numbers of Boer dead. The British guns seemed to have worked great havoc. One Boer was completely disembowled, another had his head clean shot off and a couple of others were killed by the same shell, evidently while eating their luncheon, as half eaten hard-boiled eggs lay beside them. Some Natal Dutchmen were recognized among the dead. A number of Boer bodies and carcasses of horses have been washed down Intombi sprout, which became a raging torrent during a heavy thunderstorm. The British while digging graves were fired on by the Boer artillery and several of them were hit. Soft-nosed bullets and dum-dum cartridges have been found on wounded prisoners. Volunteers carried the Boer dead off the hill and handed the bodies over to their comrades at the bottom. Over ninety were thus carried off Wagon hill alone. SPECIAL SERVICE SQUADRON. Some of the Warships will Go from Gibraltar to South Africa. London, Jan. 16.—The Associated press learns that while it is still uncertain that the entire special service squadron is going to South Africa, when relieved at Gibraltar by the channel squadron, a portion of it will be detailed to convey the new naval brigade being formed for service at the front in Cape Colony. This brigade, consisting of 720 men, eight 4.7-inch guns, 24 Maxims and 8 10-pounders, will be taken to Gibraltar by the channel squadron when it sails January 30. VACCINATE MULES. England Has Lost Too Many Animals from Glanders. New. Orleans, La., Jan. 16.—The American mule must be vaccinated before he can be enlisted in the British army service in South Africa in the future. The admiralty has passed upon his case and the decree is final. Seventy-five or a hundred, possibly more, of the mules died of glanders or a kindred disease after they were landed on African soil. The animals are separated, temperature taken, and virus injected. The vaccination of the mule is what has caused the delay in loading the transport company in them. Honolulu, Jan. 9 (via San Francisco, Cal., Jan. 15). The plague situation grows worse and worse. New cases are constantly appearing, and at points distant and scattered from the original center of infection. Up to date twenty-two deaths have occurred from the bubonic plague. Practically every case so far has proved fatal. There have been no recoveries, but hopes are entertained of four cases now in hospital. About 2000 people have been removed from the infected quarter and are now herded in quarantine camps. The council of state has appropriated $20,000 for a garbage crematory and $250,000 with which to put the city in sanitary condition and guard against the spread of the plague. No vessel, steam or sailing, will take any passengers from here to the States. the Orient or Australia, for fear that if it does it will be put in quarantine on arriving at a point in any of these countries. Nor are through passengers or members of the crews allowed to leave the vessels while in this harbor, and the vessels themselves do not come up to the wharves. Many tourists who are here are thus unable to get away. Manila, P. L. Jan. 16.—Three additional cases of the bubonic plague have been reported. REBELS GOING SOUTH. Gen. Bates! Men Continue to Drive Insurgents Before Them Two Soldiers Killed. Manila Jan. 16.—Part of Gen. John C. Bates troops are operating about Lake Taal. The insurgents continue to retreat south. Col. Hayes, with the Fourth cavalry, is supposed to have reached Lapa, where many Spanish prisoners are held. Col. Anderson, with the Thirty-eighth infantry, took Talisay, on the north shore of the lake, with but little opposition. Maj. Cheatham, with a battalion of the Thirty-seventh, on his way to San Pablo, dispersed 400 insurgents, whom the cavalry are pursuing toward Alaminos. A troop of the Third cavalry lost two men killed and three wounded in an encounter with the insurgents near San Fernando de la Union January 12. Washington, D. C., Jan. 16- Gen. Otis has cabled the war department the following list of casualties: Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 16.—Anderson Gause, colored, was today found hanging to a limb of a tree near Henning, Tenn. It is supposed he was lynched for aiding in the escape of the Ginerly brothers, colored, who recently murdered two officers near Ripley, Tenn. Negro Murderer Hanged. Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 16.—William Newman, a negro, was hanged in the yard of the county courthouse at 10:30 o'clock this morning. Death resulted from strangulation. The crime for which he was hanged was the murder of his mistress, Alice Warner. Gen. Wheeler Coming Home. Manila, Jan. 16.—Gen. Wheeler will return to the United States this week, making a stop at Guam on his way thither. The Lawton Fund. Washington, D. C., Jan. 16.—The total of the Lawton fund is now $90,909. WORK OF CONGRESS. Thursday, Jan. 11.—Listened to a debate on the Philippines between Mr. Lodge and Mr. Pettigrew, the former urging full publicity on all matters connected with the issue and the latter bitterly attacking the administration. Heard Mr. Stewart in opposition to the currency reform bill. Passed the bill conferring additional authority upon the director of the census. Passed the bill increasing to $2,500,000 the limit of cost of the new Indianapolis public building. Adjourned to Monday, January 15. Monday, Jun. 15.—Spent most of the day in debate on various Philippine resolutions. Opening speech made by Mr. Bacon. Mr. Pettigrew concluded his speech begun last week, vigorously attacking the administration. Mr. Walcott replied, scoring Dakota senator. Consideration of financial bill then resumed. Mr. Rawlins spoke in opposition to measure. Tuesday, Jan. 16.—Received a petition from Mr. Culliom, signed by 3200 colored persons in Illinois, asking congressional action to protect negroes from lynching. By a vote of 41 to 20 laid on the table Mr. Pettigrew's amendment to Mr. Hoat's Philippine resolution calling for the instructions to the peace commission. Heard Mr. McLaurin in opposition to the financial bill and in advocacy of conferring authority upon state banks to issue circulating notes. Wednesday, Jan. 17.—Agreed to take final vote on gold standard bill February 15. Passed Mr. Hoat's resolution of inquiry regarding conduct of Philippine war as substitute for similar pending resolutions. Adopted resolution offered by Mr. Hale as to seizure of flour by British authorities, but only after spirited debate and after resolution had been materially amended. House Friday, Jan. 12.-Mr. Sulzer (Dem., N. Y.) presented for immediate consideration a resolution for the appointment of a special committee of nine members to investigate the relations of the secretary of the treasury with certain New York national banks and the transactions relative to the sale of the New York custom house. Mr. Dalzell (Rep., Pa.) objected on the ground that the resolution should go through the box in the regular way. He then asked unanimous consent, but Mr. Hopkins (Rep., Ill.) objected. Adjourned until Monday, January 15. Monday, Jan. 15.—Mr. Cannon (IL), from committee on appropriations, reported urgent deficiency appropriation bill and gave notice he would call it up for consideration Tuesday. Resolution adopted calling upon secretary of state for information relative to status of the agreement between Great Britain and United States which prevented United States from building, arming or maintaining more than one war vessel upon great lakes. Rest of day devoted to consideration of District of Columbia business. Tuesday, Jan. 16.—Devoted the day to debate on the item appropriating $150,000 for rural free mail delivery contained in the urgent deficiency bill, and listened to an attack on Secretary Gage by Mr. Richardson of Tennessee and his defense by Mr. Hopkins of Illinois. Wednesday, Jan. 17.—Decided by vote of 174 to 138 that census bill reported by Mr. Hopkins (ill.) was privileged. Mr. Barney (Wls.), from the committee on appropriations, reported pension appropriation bill. Passed urgency deficiency bill. SPORTING ITEMS. Baltimore has at last fallen in line with other Eastern cities and has decided to cast its lot with the association instead of the National league. This evidently means that John McGraw and Wilbur Robinson have decided to cut away from Hanlon et al., and try their fortune alone in the new venture. If such is the case it is a good bet that they have done so owing to the fact that John T. Brush tried to force Baltimore into the Eastern league in order to open the way for a reduction to eight clubs. McGraw and Robinson have especially stated that they would not enter a league which was considered in the minor class, and as the Eastern league is a minor, they have no doubt decided to join the American association, being convinced that it was the only course left open to them. George August Banker, the well-known international professional cyclist, who has been racing abroad for the past eighteen months with such good success, returned to his home in Pittsburgh last week for a short visit. Banker is one of the few American cyclists who have been successful as an all-ground racing man in Europe, having repeatedly won the blue-ribbon events of all the European countries and the only rider in the world who has competed in and twice won the professional championship of the world. He will remain at home only a few weeks before he will again sail for Europe with the foreign riders, at present in the South, and the greatest aggregation of American speed merchants that has ever crossed the Atlantic. The party, will include the old-time champion of champions, Augustus Zimmerman, with whom Banker went to Europe in 1894; Harry Elkes, the boy from Glens Falls, who, by his fine work, just season, placed himself in the lead of American middle-distance men; Herbert Ross, the little New Yorker, who has been dubbed the second Michael, and, in all probabilities, Maj. Taylor, the colored rider, who is without doubt one of the most-talked-of riders in European cycling circles today. Besides these the pick of the N. C. A. champions of last season will no doubt follow in quick succession, and will include Tom Cooper, Earl Kiser, Owen Kimble, Stevens and others. Tim Hurst has matched Gus Rubin to fight Jack Finnegan, who recently beat Jim McCormick and fought a twenty-round draw with Jack Bonner. Rubin and Finnegan will box before the Utica club. Finnegan 31, for twentysounds Jack Daly and Eddie Connelly, lightweights, have signed articles of agreement to box twenty-five rounds before the Olympic Athletic club of Buffalo on January 25. Frank Childs of Chicago, colored heavyweight, says he is anxious to meet McCoy in a six- to twenty-round fight before club offering largest purse. Matters are progressing favorably toward an eight-club circuit for the National league, the latest evidence that such a state of affairs will exist next season being the announcement of N. E. Young, president of the league, that he has just been instructed to prepare an eight-club schedule. His orders previously were to make up two schedules, one of ten clubs and one of twelve.—Dispatch from Philadelphia. Interest in baseball in Two Rivers for the coming season is already manifesting itself. The indications are that the city will put on the diamond one of the fastest teams it has ever sent forth. This statement is based upon the fact that several very fast players from last season's team have again signified their intention of playing there. These include Al Buege, pitcher, formerly of the Milwaukee City league; Ed Dillon and "Red" Simon, formerly with the Chicago Edgars; and Hy Wendt, formerly of Berlin. Tom West and Jack Root, who recently contested six rounds at Tattersalls in which Root was declared the winner, may meet in a twenty-round contest at San Francisco. Harry Forbes and Walter Bloom will meet in a catchweights' contest at the Chicago Athletic association gymnasium Saturday night. At the Olympia club, Grand Rapids, Jack Bain of Cincinnati succeeded in knocking out "Scotty" Cross of Detroit with a right-hand swing on the jaw. Emil Sanchez, known as the "Cuban wonder," fought sixteen rounds to a draw with "Buck" Stelzer of Columbus. What promised to be an excellent pugilistic exhibition at Baltimore was spoiled by the hotheadedness of Referee George Mantz. The principals were George McFadden of New York and Jimmie Murray of Cincinnati. The contest, while it lasted, was a hot one. Both men forced matters from the jump. Murray was by far the cleverer and outpointed McFadden two to one. McFadden then started to rough it, and because Murray tried to protect himself from McFadden's rough tactics by clinching, he was disqualified by Mantz in the fifth round. Tommy Dixon's seconds threw up the sponge in the fifteenth round in the match with Billy Ryan at Ulen, N. Y. A telegram from Kid McCoy, who is now at his home at White Plains, N. Y., says he has canceled all engagements outside of New York in order to at once prepare for his coming meeting with Chornski, his last meeting with whom resulted so unsatisfactorily. C. A. Samson, the strong man, who recently beat a record for weight lifting in England, has arrived in New York.

IN this discourse Dr. Talmage, in his own way, calls attention to that part of the human body never perhaps discoursed upon in the pulpit and challenges all to the study of omniscience; text, Psalm xciv., 9, "He that formed the eye, shall he not see?" The imperial organ of the human system is the eye. All up and down the Bible God honors it, extols it, illustrates it or arraigns it. Five hundred and thirty-four times is it mentioned in the Bible. Omnipresence—"the eyes of the Lord are in every place." Divine care—"as the apple of the eye." The clouds—"the eye-lids of the morning." Irreverence—"the eye that mocketh at its father." Pride—"oh, how lofty are their eyes." Inattention—"the fool's eye in the ends of the earth." Divine inspection—"wheels full of eyes." Suddenness—"in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump." Olivetic sermon—"the light of the body is the eye." This morning's text, "He that formed the eye, shall he not see?" The surgeons, the doctors, the anatomists and the physiologists understand much of the glories of the two great lights of the human race, but the vast multitudes go on from cradle to grave without any appreciation of the two great masterpieces of the Lord God Almighty. If God had lacked anything of infinite wisdom, he would have failed in creating the human eye. We wander through the earth trying to see wonderful sights, but the most wonderful sight we ever see is not so wonderful as the instruments through which we see it. It has been a strange thing to me for thirty years that some scientist with enough eloquence and magnetism did not go through the country with illustrated lecture on canvas thirty feet square to startle and thrill and overwhelm Christendom with the marvels of the human eye. We want the eye taken from all its technicalities and some one who shall lay aside all talk about the pterygomaxillary fissures, the sclerotic and the chiasma of the optic nerve and in plain, common parlance which you and I and everybody can understand present the subject. We have learned men who have been telling us what our origin is and what we were. Oh, if some one should come forth from the dissecting table and from the class room of the university and take the platform and, asking the help of the Creator, demonstrate the wonders of what we are! If I refer to the physiological facts suggested by the former part of my text, it is only to bring out in plainer way the theological lessons of the latter part of my text, 'He that formed the eye, shall he not see?' The Window of the Soul. I suppose my text referred to the human eye, since it excels all others in structure and adaptation. The eyes of fish and reptiles and moles and bats are very simple things because they have not much to do. There are insects with a hundred eyes, but the hundred eyes have less faculty than the two human eyes. The black beetle swimming the summer pond has two eyes under the water and two eyes above the water, but the four insectile are not equal to the two human. Man placed at the head of all living creatures must have supreme equipment, while the blind fish in the Mammoth cave of Kentucky have only an undeveloped organ of sight, an apology for the eye, which if through some crevice of the mountain they should go into the sunlight might be developed into positive eyesight. In the first chapter of Genesis we find that God without any consultation created the light, created the trees, created the fish, created the fowl, but when he was about to make man he called a convention of divinity, as though to imply that all the powers of Godhead were to be enlisted in the achievement. "Let us make man." Put a whole ton of emphasis on that word "us." "Let us make man." And if God called a convention of divinity to create man, I think the two great questions in that conference were how to create a soul and how to make an appropriate window for that emperor to look out of. See how God honored the eye before he created it. He cried until chaos was irradiated with the utterance. "Let there be light!" In other words, before he introduced man into this temple of the world he illumined it, prepared it for the eyesight. And so after the last human eye has been destroyed in the final demolition of the world, stars are to fall and the sun is to cease its shining and the moon is to turn into blood. In other words, after the human eyes are no more to be profited by their shining the chandeliers of heaven are to be turned out. God, to educate and to bless and to help the human eye, set on the mantel of heaven two lamps—a gold lamp and a silver lamp—the one for the day and the other for the night. How God Honors the Eye. To show how God honors the eye, look at the two halls built for the residence of the eyes. Seven bones making the wall for each eye, the seven bones curiously wrought together. Kingly palace of ivory is considered rich, but the halls for the residence of the human eyes are richer by so much as human bone is more sacred than elephantine tusk. See how God honored the eyes when he made a roof for them, so that the sweat of toil should not smart them and the rain dashing against the forehead might not drip into them; the eyebrows not bending over the eye, but reaching to the right and to the left so that the rain and the sweat should be compelled to drop upon the cheek instead of falling into this divinely protected human eyesight. See how God honored the eye in the fact presented by anatomists and physiologists that there are 800 contrivances in every eye. For window shutters, the eyelids opening and closing 30,000 times a day. The eyelashes so constructed that they have their selection as to what shall be admitted, saying to the dust, "Stay out," and saying to the light, "Come in." For inside curtain, the iris or pupil of the eye, according as the light is greater or less, contracting or dilating. The eye of the owl is blind in the daytime, the eyes of some creatures are blind at night, but the human eye so marvelously constructed it can see both by day and by night. Many of the other creatures of God can move the eye only from side to side, but the human eye, so marvelously constructed, has one muscle to lift the eye and another muscle to lower the eye and another muscle to roll it to the right and another muscle to roll it to the left and another muscle passing through a pulley to turn it round and round, an elaborate gearing of six muscles as perfect as God could make them. There is also the retina gathering the rays of light and passing the visual impression along the optic nerve about the thickness of the lamp wick, passing the visual impression on to the sensorium and on into the soul. What a delicate lens, what an exquisite screen, what soft cushions, what wonderful chemistry of the human eye! The eye washed by a slow stream of moisture whether we sleep or wake, rolling imperceptibly over the pebble of the eye and emptying into a bone of the nostril, a contrivance so wonderful that it can see the sun 95,000,000 of miles away and the point of a pin. Telescope and microscope in the same contrivance. The astronomer swings and moves this way and that and adjusts and readjusts the telescope until he gets it to the right focus. The microscopist moves this way and that and adjusts and readjusts the magnifying glass until it is prepared to do its work, but the human eye without a touch beholds the star and the smallest insect. The traveler along the Alps with one glance taking in Mont Blanc and the face of his watch to see whether he has time to climb it. Oh, this wonderful camera obscura which you and I carry about with us so from the top of Mount Washington we can take in New England, so at night we can sweep into our vision the constellations from horizon to horizon. So delicate, so semi-infinite, and yet the light coming 95,000,000 of miles at the rate of 200,000 miles a second is obliged to halt at the gate of the eye, waiting until the portcullis be lifted. Something hurled 95,000,000 of miles and striking an instrument which has not the agitation of even winking under the power of the stroke. An Anthem of Praise. There also is the merciful arrangement of the tear gland by which the eye is washed and through which rolls the tide which brings relief that comes in tears when some bereavement or great loss strikes us. The tear not an augmentation of sorrow, but the breaking up of the arctic of frozen grief in the warm gulf stream of consolation. Incapacity to weep is madness or death. Thank God for the tear glands and that the crystal gates are so easily opened. Oh, the wonderful hydraulic apparatus of the human eye! Divinely constructed vision. Two lighthouses at the harbor of the immortal soul under the shining of which the world sails in and drops anchor. What an anthem of praise to God is the human eye! The tongue is speechless and a clumsy instrument of expression as compared with it. Have you not seen the eye flash with indignation, or kindle with enthusiasm, or expand with devotion, or melt with sympathy, or stare with fright, or leer with villainy, or droop with sadness, or pale with envy, or fire with revenge, or twinkle with mirth, or beam with love? It is tragedy and comedy and pastoral and lyric in turn. Have you not seen its uplifted brow of surprise, or its frown of wrath, or its contraction of pain? If the eye say one thing and the lips say another thing, you believe the eye rather than the lips. The eye of Archibald Alexander and Charles G. Finney were the mightiest part of their sermons. George Whitefield enthralled great assemblages with his eyes, though they were crippled with strabismus. Many a military chieftain has with a look hurled a regiment to victory or to death. Martin Luther turned his great eye on an assasin who came to take his life, and the villain fled. Under the glance of the human eye the tiger, with five times a man's strength, snarls back into the African jungle. But those best appreciate the value of the eye who have lost it. The Emperor Adrian by accident put out the eye of his servant, and he said to his servant, "What shall I pay you in money or in lands—anything you ask me? I am so sorry I put your eye out." But the servant refused to put any financial estimate on the value of the eye, and when the emperor urged and urged again the matter he said, "O emperor, I want nothing but my lost eye." Alas for those for whom a thick and impenetrable wall is drawn across the face of the heavens and the face of one's own kindred. That was a pathetic scene when a blind man lighted a torch at night and was found passing along the highway and some one said, "Why do you carry that torch when you can't see?" "Ah," said he, "I can't see, but I carry this torch that others may see me and pity my helplessness and not run me down." Samson, the giant, with his eyes put out by the Philistines, is more helpless than the smallest dwarf with vision undamaged. All the sympathies of Christ were stirred when he saw Bartimeus with darkened retina, and the only salve he ever made that we read of was a mixture of dust and saliva and a prayer with which he cured the eyes of a man blind from his nativity. The value of the eye shown as much by its catastrophe as by its healthful action. Ask the man who for twenty years has not seen the sun rise. Ask the man who for half a century has not seen the face of a friend. Ask in the hospital the victim of ophthalmia. Ask the man whose eyesight perished in a powder blast. Ask the Bartimeus who never met a Christ or the man born blind who is to die blind. Ask him. How it adds to John Milton's sublimity of character when we find him at the call of duty sacrificing his eyesight. Through studying at late hours and trying all kinds of medicament to preserve his sight he had for 12 years been coming toward blindness, and after awhile one eye was entirely gone. His physician warned him that if he continued reading and writing he would lose the other eye. But he kept on with his work and said after sitting in total darkness: "The choice lay before me between dereliction of a supreme duty and loss of eyesight. In such a case I could not listen to the physician, not if Aesculapius himself had spoken from his sanctuary. I could not but obey that in- ward monitor. I know not what spoke to me from heaven." Who of us would have grace enough to sacrifice our eyes at the call of duty? But, thank God, some have been enabled to see without very good eyes. Gen Havelock, the son of the more famous Gen. Havelock, told me this concerning his father: In India, while his father and himself, with the army, were encamped one evening time after a long march, Gen. Havelock called up his soldiers and addressed them, saying in words as near as I can recollect: "Soldiers, there are two or three hundred women, children and men at Cawnpur at the mercy of Nana Sahib and his butchers. Those poor people may any hour be sacrificed. How many of you will go with me for the rescue of those women and children? I know you are all worn out, and so am I, but all those who will march with me to save those women and children hold up your hand." Then Havelock said: "It is almost dark, and my eyesight is very poor, and I cannot see your raised hands, but I know they are all up. Forward to Cawnpur!" That hero's eyes, though almost extinguished in the service of God and his country, could see across India and across the centuries. But let anybody who has one good eye be thankful, and all who have two good eyes be twice as thankful. Take care of your eyes and thank God every morning when you open them for capacity to see the light. I do not wonder at the behavior of a poor man in France. He had been born blind, but was a skillful groom in the stables. A surgeon, riding up one evening, gave his horses into the care of the blind groom. Late at night the traveling surgeon went to the stables and found the groom still at work upon the horses, and the grateful and sympathetic surgeon resolved in the morning to reward the blind groom with money. But in the night the surgeon bethought himself that perhaps he could give the groom something better than money. In the morning he said to the blind groom, "Step out into the sunshine! You are forty years of age. I could surely have cured your blindness if I had seen you sooner, but come to Paris, and I will give you sight if you do not die under the operation." Paying the poor man's way to Paris, the operation was successful. For the first time the man saw his wife and children, and having taken a good look at them he turned and said, "Let me look on my friend the surgeon, who has opened all this beautiful world to me and shown me my loved ones." Was not that glorious? Only those who have been restored from utter blindness can appreciate the omnipotent blessing of eyesight. The All-Seeing Eye. The Earl of Bridgewater, in his last will and testament, bequeathed $40,000 for essays to be written on the power and wisdom and goodness of God as manifested in creation, and Sir Charles Bell, the British surgeon, fresh from Coruna and Waterloo, where he had been tending the wounded and studying the formation of the human body amid the amputating horrors of the battlefield, accepted the invitation to write one of those Bridgewater treatises, and he wrote his book on the human hand, a book that will live as long as the world lives. To-day I have only hinted at the splendors, the glories, the wonders, the divine revelations, the apocalypses, of the human eye, and I stagger back from the awful portals of the physiologist miracle which must have taxed the ingenuity of a God to cry out in your ears the words of my text, "He that formed the eye, shall he not see?" Shall Herschel not know as much as his telescope? Shall Fraunhofer not know as much as his spectroscope? Shall Swammerdam not know as much as his microscope? Shall Dr. Hooke not know as much as his micrometer? Shall the thing formed know more than its maker? "He that formed the eye, shall he not see?" The recoil of this question is tremendous. We stand at the center of a vast circumference of observation. No privacy. On us eyes of cherubim, eyes of seraphim, eyes of archangel, eyes of God. We may not be able to see the inhabitants of other worlds, but perhaps they may be able to see us. We have not optical instruments strong enough to descrry them. Perhaps they have optical instruments strong enough to descrry us. The mole cannot see the eagle midair, but the eagle midsky can see the mole midgrass. We are able to see mountains and caverns of another world, but perhaps the inhabitants of other worlds can see the towers of our cities, the flash of our seas, the marching of our processions, the white robes of our weddings, the black scarfs of our obsequies. It passes out from the guess into the positivé when we are told in the Bible that the inhabitants of other worlds do come to this. Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation? The Eye of God. But human inspection and angelic inspection and stellar inspection and lunar inspection and solar inspection are tame as compared with the thought of divine inspection. "The eyes of the Lord are in every place." "His eyelids try the children of men." "His eyes were as a flame of fire." "I will guide thee with mine eye." Oh, the eye of God, so full of pity, so full of power, so full of love, so full of indignation, so full of compassion, so full of mercy! How it peers through the darkness! How it outshines the day! How it glares upon the offender! How it beams on the penitent soul! Talk about the human eye as being indescribably wonderful—how much more wonderful the great, searching, overwhelming eye of God! All eternity past and all eternity to come on that retina. Oh, my friends, our most hidden sin is under the burning eye of God. He is not a blind giant stumbling through the heavens. He is not a blind monarch feeling for the step of his chariot. Are you wronged? He sees it. Are you poor? He sees it. Have you domestic perturbation of which the world knows nothing? He sees it. "Oh," you say, "my affairs are so insignificant I can't realize that God sees me and sees my affairs!" Can you see the point of a pin? Can you see the eye of a needle? Can you see a mote in the sunbeam? And has God given you that power of minute observation and does he not possess it himself? "He that formed the eye, shall he not see?" Tom—Harry told me recently that Miss Gotrox had kindled the fire of love in his bosom. Jack—Yes; and I heard yesterday that her father had fired the rest of him. It is said by naturalists that the story of vipers swallowing their young, when in danger, has a foundation in fact.

KEEP A LIGHT BURNING So that Officers Can See that No Business is Being Done—Hotels the Worst Offenders. Madison, Wise, Jan. 17—Madison saloons must hereafter be closed promptly at midnight. Not only this, but they must have the front curtains or screens drawn back and a light burning inside, so that the police and other passers-by can see that no business is being done. An ordinance requiring this has been on the books for some years past, but some of the saloon men have grown lax in its observance. Chief of Police Baker today sent each saloonkeeper in the city a notice containing the main provisions of the ordinance with the injunction that it must be lived up to, and has instructed the officers to see to it that it is observed. The chief says that the hotels are the worst violators of the ordinance. DEMAND FOR FARMERS A Total of 251 Students Taking the University Short Course in Agriculture. Madison, Wis., Jan. 17. [Special.] The largest number of students which has ever attended the winter school of the agricultural department of the university is enrolled this year, there being 251 taking the course. A considerable percentage of the students comes from other states, there being men present from states as far east as New York and as far west as California. Illinois has thirty-six representatives. This course is intended only for the winter months and gives the students chance to get back to the farms before the spring work begins on the fields. There is a demand for men who have taken the short-course agricultural school certificates in excess of the number available. TANNING INDUSTRY. Extensive Operations of Fayette Shaw & Co. at Mellen and Other Places. Mellen, Wiss. Jan. 17. [Special.] Fayette Shaw & Co., who conduct tanneries at this place, Medford, Rib Lyke, Phillips, Westboro and Perkinstown, operate more extensively from this point than at any of the other towns where they have plants. From May to August they employ from 300 to 500 men peeling hemlock bark, and from August in every year until the middle of January their skidding is done. When snow comes they commence to haul the bark to the tannery—150 cords per day. The firm buys the bark or hemlock timber scattered over several sections and the owner of the timber sells the logs. When the tannery people purchase the land they sell the logs to the George E. Foster Lumber company, a Wausan concern which has located here, leasing the sawmill owned by Fayette Shaw & Co. The hides used in the tannery here come from China and India, about 200,-000 a year. The manufactured leather goes into the Chicago and Boston markets at an advance of 8 to 4 cents over prices of last year at this time. In 1899 there was a curtailed output among all tanneries in the United States. A scarcity of product has caused a brisk market. The George E. Foster Lumber company is sawing hemlock, hardwood and basswood and expects to manufacture 12,000,000 this year. The mill is running day and night and sawing 100,000 feet a day. REV. MR. WINTER RETIRES. Madison, Wis., Jan. 17. Rev. Henry A. Winter, for twenty-five years pastor of St. Paul's German Presbyterian church on this city, has resigned and will pass the remainder of his years in private life. He is now 74 years of age, and says that the duties of his pastorate are too onerous for one of his advanced age. He has served in the ministry in Wisconsin since 1853, during which period he built twelve churches and served eightteen. His church here was built in 1846 and was the first house of worship erected for white people west of Milwaukee. For years it was the leading church of Madison and included among its congregation many men since grown prominent in politics. ENGINEER BADLY BURNED Kenosha, Wis., Jan. 17.—[Special.] Edward Donnell, an engineer on the North West Coast railroad, was terribly burned by the explosion of a valve in one of the oilcups on his engine this morning when the train was at Winnetka, Ill. Donnell was badly disabled, but as it was impossible for him to secure a substitute he remained in his cab and brought the engine and train into this city on time. The sufferings of the man were most intense. He was taken to the office of Dr. Farr when the train arrived here and later he was sent to a hospital in Chicago. RETURNED FROM ALASKA. La Crosse Man Says There Are 5000 Cases of Typhoid at Cape Nome. La Crosse, Wis., Jan. 17.—[Special.]—Thomas Kelley has returned to his home in this city, after an absence of several months, direct from the Alaskan gold fields in and about Dawson. Both coming and going he had exceedingly rough passages on the Pacific. He made the trip from Skagway to Lake Bennett by rail. He has in possession a number of valuable gold nuggets, but he does not expect to return, neither does he advise anyone to go to Alaska in search of gold or a fortune. When he left for home there were over 5000 cases of typhoid fever at Cape Nome. CAUGHT IN A FROG. Rance White, of Chinpewa Falls, Killed by a Freight Train. Chinpewa Falls, Wis., Jan 17.

High Price for Old Rails. La Crosse, Wis., Jan. 17. [Special.] The La Crosse City Railway company recently took up the old steel that has been doing service on the trolley lines in the city, replaced it with heavier rails and threw the old rails into the rubbish heap. The Little Rock (Ark.) Street Railway company heard of it and sent on a representative, who bought up the old rails at almost the original purchase price of some years ago. The rails will be shipped to Little Rock. 44B1 605 v1qhA baggraw slam board 22 koll VSSL 79 1007 M. C. Ring and His Friends Acquitted of the Charge of Voiating Game Laws. Medford, Wis., Jan. 17.—[Special.]—Some weeks ago dispatches to the St. Paul and Milwaukee papers, purporting to have been sent from here and from Barron, were published, announcing that five of the most prominent citizens of Clark county, and giving their names as ex-Senator M. C. Ring, ex-Sheriff J. W. Page, ex-District Attorney George B. Parkhill, ex-Undersheriff James Connors and L. O. Garrison, merchant and banker, all being members of the Thorp Gun club, had been arrested upon a charge of hunting deer with dogs, contrary to law, upon complaint of Special Deputy Game Warden J. W. Stone of Barron. All the dispatches emphasized the prominence of the men charged, and stated that the warden had spent four or five weeks in getting the testimony to make their conviction sure. When the time came for a hearing the parties voluntarily appeared, ready to meet the charge and prove its falsity, but neither the warden nor his witnesses appeared and the case was dismissed. This was on January 3. About a week later the warden instituted a new suit, this time taking it before Justice S. C. Miles of Stetsonville. January 16 was agreed upon as the date for trial and the parties voluntarily appeared. The case was prosecuted by District Attorney Buckley and Second Assistant Attorney-General Hamilton and defended by Attorney E. H. Schweppe of this place. The much-heralded testimony was submitted to the court and it so utterly failed to make out any case against any of the parties charged that the court promptly found there had been no violation of the law and dismissed the case. EIGHT ARRESTS MADE. Authorities at West Superior Have Difficulty in Securing Evidence in Carison Case. West Superior, Wis., Jan. 17.—Eight different persons have now been arrested charged with the murder of Abraham Carlson in this city on December 23. Richard Rehnstrand, the eighth suspect, was taken in custody today. At the same time, however, Peter Lesman, another charged with being implicated in that crime, was discharged. The evidence against him, it was decided, was not sufficient to warrant his being held. Rehnstrand is the son of the proprietor of the saloon over which the affair is said to have occurred. There have been many different sets of witnesses found and none of them can agree as to particulars. The district attorney has not had to deal with such a difficult case during his term. Almost every day a different story turns up to implicate new parties. FOR $10,000 DAMAGES. La Crosse, Wis., Jan. 17.—[Special.]—The first of two sensational breach-of-promise cases that are to be tried at this term of the circuit court was taken up last evening by Judge Wyman. The plaintiff in this action is Annie Jacobs of Leon, Monroe county, who seeks to recover $10,000 damages from Henry Poelling, a hardware merchant of West Salem, La Crosse county. Last evening the jury was selected and the case opened by the attorneys, but it is not expected that the first day's proceedings will develop anything that has not already been printed. The case is being bitterly contested, and a quite unusual feature of the action is that the principal attorney for the defense, E. C. Higbee, is himself defendant in an even more sensational breach-of-promise case that is to be tried at this term of the court. Defendant Poelling was the first witness sworn by the plaintiff. The plaintiff next testified. Three other witnesses were sworn. Developments proved highly sensational. Defendant was sworn in his own behalf. LUMBERING OPERATIONS Recent Fall of Snow Aids Loggers in Rushing Their Contracts. Ashland, Wis., Jan. 17.—[Special.]—The Northern Pacific Railroad company has closed contracts with loggers for over 500,000 feet of logs. Ashland will receive about two-thirds of the stock and Duluth the remainder. The D. J. Murray, Manufacturing company of Wausau has the contract for building the Murray Lumber company's sawmill, which will be ready to saw logs by the time navigation opens. W. H. Gilbert is the principal owner. He controls large holdings of timber tributary to Ashland. The recent snow has aided loggers materially in rushing their contracts. The late fall of snow in the woods will average a foot in depth. FELL OFF A FENCE. Wautoma, Wis., Jan. 17.—[Special.]—J. J. Richardson, a well-known farmer residing near Poysippi, went out hunting. In climbing over a fence he fell and his shotgun went off and sent the entire charge through his heel. The result was the complete shattering of the bones, the back part of the foot. The heel all torn to pieces and the wound will leave the victim more or less crippled for life. Richardson has held the office of chairman of his town for a number of years and was quite prominent in politics. Calumet, Mich., Jan. 17.—[Special.] Three hundred and fifty miners and surface employees at the Arcadian mine were paid off today. They claim the showing underground is so poor that this action was necessary. Two hundred surface employees were discharged two weeks ago, reducing the working force to 400 men. John Limbact, a miner, married, was crushed to death last night, having been caught in a mill runway in South Hecla mine. Baraboo. Wis., Jan. 17.—[Special.]— There is a smallpox scare at Mauston. A short time ago a man from the Southern states stopped at a farmhouse four miles from Mauston, where he was taken sick and the disease has proven to be the one above mentioned. The house has been quarantined and all of the people in that vicinity are being vaccinated. Sentenced for Burglary. Madison, Wis., Jan. 17.—[Special.]—Ed Ross, who pleaded guilty in the municipal court yesterday afternoon to burglarizing Dick Smith's saloon January 8, was today sentenced to two years and a half in state prison. HOW THE LAW WORKS. Increased Collections Shown by the Annual Report of Revenue Collector Wells. La Crosse, Wis., Jan. 16.—[Special.] The anti-pass law has borne further fruits here. The first city official to retire from office owing to the fact that he is a railroad employee stepped down and out, when E. G. Perkins, trainmaster of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul on the Southern Minnesota division, and a commissioner of the board of education, tendered his resignation to the common council. The regulations of the railroads on the point of transportation for employees and a conflict of the anti-pass law brought about this action on the part of Mr. Perkins. S. Y. Hyde, grain commission and banker, was elected to succeed Mr. Perkins. J. W. Losey, who is president of the city police and fire civil service commission and also is attorney for the C., B. & Q. and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroads, still retains his position in the city government and uses his passes. Prof. E. W. Guenther of Rochester N. Y., one of the foremost turning teachers of the country, has arrived in the city and taken charge of the turning classes of the Deutscher Vercin, the leading German society of the city. Deputy Internal Revenue Collector W. N. Wells of Sparta has completed his yearly report of business done in this, the Fourth division of the Second collection district of Wisconsin, which comprises the counties of Pepin, Pierce, Buffalo, Trempealeau, La Crosse, Monroe, Vernon, Jackson, Juneau and Adams. It shows that during the year 1899 there was collected in this division over $500,000 in internal revenue taxes of all kinds, stamps, special licenses, etc. The total amount of beer brewed in the entire district was 169,621 barrels, against 160,350½ in 1898; 6,662,063 cigars were manufactured, as against 5,690,469 the year previous; tobacco manufactured shows an increased production also of over 3000 pounds. The tax collected on beer and tobacco in the city of La Crosse in 1899 was $298,078.42, as against $223,019.51 in 1898 and $85,381.13 in 1889. W. W. Cargill, recently elected president of the Sawyer & Austin Lumber company, has purchased the stock held in that company by Mrs. L. J. Sawyer, Mrs. M. B. Austin and Mrs. Mollie S. Austin. This leaves Mr. Cargill in possession of a majority of the stock of one of the largest lumber companies now operating in the South. The company has just completed and started in operation another big sawmill at Pine Bluff, Ark. Prof. George P. Perry, principal of the Seventh district of the city schools, died last evening. About two months ago a small pimple formed on his left hand from the prick of a needle, it grew worse gradually and resulted in blood poisoning which was the cause of his death. Deceased was born fifty years ago at Richmond, Va. Mrs. Elizabeth Sonkup died last evening, aged 54. Deceased was born in Spoli, Bohemia, and had been a resident of La Crosse for many years. Burt S. Harrison, a young architect of this city, is to go East and take a position in the office of Architect Cass Gilbert, formerly of St. Paul. Mr. Harrison will be employed by Mr. Gilbert on the Minnesota state capitol job in St. Paul and on the new custom house and postoffice in New York, which Mr. Gilbert has designed and will superintend. Wolves in large numbers are reported to be devastating the sheep herds in Hamilton and other towns of La Crosse county. A general wolf hunt is being organized. BOUNDARY DISPUTE. Two Janesville Men Quarrel and One Strikes the Other with an Axe. Jamesville, Wis., Jan. 16.—[Special.]—Before Judge C. L. Field of the Rock county municipal court was today called the case of the state of Wisconsin vs. James, T. Robey. The parties reside in the city of Evansville, Robey is charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm. Byron Babbitt, a prominent business man of Evansville, is the complaining witness. Robey and Babbitt had a row over the boundary line between their residence property. It is alleged that Babbitt made an attack on Robey, with a club. Robey then stepped back on his own land and when Babbitt followed him up Robey dealt him a terrible blow on the head with the flat side of an ax that he was carrying at the time. The blow knocked Babbitt insensible and made a bad hole in his head. Both men have their numerous friends in the present trial and on account of the prominence of the interested parties, the outcome of the trial is awaited with much interest. Many witnesses have been subpoenaed at Evansville and vicinity. ORATORICAL CONTEST. Mr. Slauson and Miss Merrick Win the Honors at Platteville. Platteville, Wis., Jan. 16.—[Special.]—A spirited preliminary oratorical contest took place at the normal school last night. There were five contestants. D. R. Slauson of Platteville won the first place on the subject, "The Conquest of Liberty," a plea for woman's rights. Miss Jessie Bee Merrick of Lodi won second place with an oration on "The Spirit of Science of the Nineteenth Century." The judges were: George Beck, Platteville; Prof. Steyens, Darlington; Mrs. Lowrey, Lancaster. The successful contestants are to enter the state oratorical contest at Milwaukee. SUSTAINED THE WILL. Unsuccessful Contest Over Estate of Andrew E. Opdale. Racine, Wis., Jan. 16.—[Special.]—In the circuit court this morning Judge Belden handed down a decision in the matter of the last will of Andrew E. Opdale, who died last February, leaving to one daughter the larger share of an estate of $15,000. The other two children brought suit to set aside the will, claiming that the testator was of unsound mind. The decision of Judge Belden sustains the will which is admitted to probate.

Secures the McCord Mill at Superior with Timber to Last Ten Years. Marinette, Wis., Jan. 17.—[Special.]—Gov. Seofield has formally closed his big contract for sawing over 300,000,000 feet of pine for the Edward Hines Lumber company of Chicago. The McCord mill at Superior has been purchased and George Seofield, the governor's son, announced today that he would leave Marinette this week to reside at Superior and look after the governor's interests there. The mill will start about Aphil I and will run alight and day. The intention is to cut about 40,000,000 a year and the contract is expected to last about ten years. A crew from here will be taken up to put the mill in shape for operation. The deal is a very large one but the governor and his son decline to say what the consideration was CONVICT'S CONFESSION. Kenosha, Wis., Jan. 17.—[Special.]—The apprehension of Fred La Felle as the alleged slayer of William J. Tulis at Burlington on the night of October 14 last, is the one topic in police circles today. Sheriff Timine returned last evening and the story connected with the apprehension of La Felle was made public. The arrest of La Felle is based on a confession of Frank Smith, recently sent to the state prison at Waupun from this city. Smith told a strange story of the murder of Tulis. He said that he was one of the men who had knowledge of the crime and that there were five others implicated. The other two whose names were given were La Felle and John Raymond. Two of the others are confined in the state reformatory at Green Bay, while the sixth one and Raymond are still at large. Smith stated to the sheriff that the men went to steal some liquor and when they saw the watchman it appeared he was about to shoot and they fired, killing the old man instantly. Smith refused to tell who had fired the shot. After the crime was committed, Smith said, the men escaped to this county. Smith and La Felle were arrested for committing a series of burglaries in the western part of the county. Raymond escaped on a technicality, but the other two were arrested and committed. Some trace has been found of Raymond and an attempt will be made to secure his arrest. FINAL PAYMENT NEXT MONTH Beloit People to Celebrate Liquidation of Bonded Indebtedness. Beloit, Wis., Jan. 17. Next month the city of Beloit will make the final payment of its bonded indebtedness, a debt that has hung over the city for forty-four years. It was incurred by the building of the Great Western & Mississippi railroad, now a portion of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul system, and when the town voted to bond itself to assist in the building of the road, years of litigation followed. The city was defeated, thousands of dollars of back interest being added to the principal. Then the city began a systematic payment and at last the obligations have been met. At the meeting of the common council last night arrangements were made for a public meeting in celebration of the event. For a generation the city has paid a sum in liquidation of this debt equal to its municipal expenses, and the release from the tax burden is a thing of great congratulation. DESIGN FOR BABCOCK MEDAL. Spink & Son of London, Eng., the Successful Competitors. Madison, Wis.. J&n. 17.—The design for the $300, medal voted to Prof. S, M. Babcock of the state university by the Legislature last winter was selected yesterday afternoon by the special committee appointed by Gov. Seofeld some months ago. Spink & Son of 17 and 18 Piccadilly, London, submitted the successful design, which is an unusually pretty piece of art and one that quite surprised the expectations of the committee. Eleven designs in all were submitted to the committee. They came from artists in Italy, Holland, England and the United States. Regent Ogden H. Fethers of Janesville Senator John W. Whelan of Mondovi and Secretary John M. True of the state board of agriculture composed the committee which selected the design. AFFLICTED WITH BLACK-LEG. A Form of D sease More to be Dreaded than Lumpy Jaw. Janesville, Wis., Jan. 17. [Special.]—Dr. E. D. Roberts of this city was recently called to several farms in the vicinity of Stougaton to inspect several head of valuable cattle. A close inspection soon convinced the doctor that the animals were suffering with what is known as black-leg. This disease is most generally found in calves and sheep. It is characterized by a settling of gelatinous matter in the legs and sometimes in the neck. It is more dreaded than lumpy jaw. After being taken ill the afflicted animal lives but a short time. The disease soon works its way from the legs to the loin portion of the back. The whole system is then soon involved and death follows. DEGREES CONFERRED. Semi-Annual Meeting of Trustees of Beloit College. Beloit, Wis., Jan. 17.—[Special.]—The trustees of Beloit college held their semi-annual meeting last night and today. The meeting was chiefly of a private business nature. The degree of D. D. was conferred on Henry Burton, class of '62, a prominent preacher of England, and that of doctor of literary on Prof. William M. Whitney, formerly of the college, now librarian in an Eastern city. There was great expectation that something would be announced concerning the new gymnasium, but in this the athletic contingent of the school were disappointed. Baraboo, Wis., Jan. 17.—[Special.]—For some time the Chicago & North-Western has been trying the experiment of running their freight trains all the way from Chicago to Elmo without changing crews. The distance is 215 miles and often the men were on the road twenty-four hours, which has proven to be more than they can endure. Hereafter the crews will change at Baraboo, which is 175 miles from Chicago. Farmers Alarmed. La Crosse, Wis., Jan. 17.—[Special.] Considerable alarm has been manifested lately over the reported presence among the cattle in this vicinity of lumpy jaw. Dr. Clute of Marinette, the state veterinarian, has been notified to come here. Creditors Receive a Dividend. Stoughton, Wis., Jan. 17.—Receiver B. E. Waite paid $50,628.75 to the creditors of the Dane County bank, being a dividend of 30 per cent. This is the first payment made. SNOW NEEDED VERY MUCH Chippewa Falls, Wis., Jan. 15—Not only the loggers throughout this section, but those all through Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan are praying for snow. Throughout the entire white pine country there is as yet practically no snow. While logging has gone on at a very good gait thus far, the time when cutting and skidding must be stopped for lack of snow is near at hand. Ice roads are being built wherever good grading has been done, but even these are not in the best of form. In the location where snow is necessary for the building of ice roads hauling has not yet begun, and the getting of logs in scattered tracts is almost blocked by lack of snow. Thirty new piers will be built in the river this winter by the Chippewa Lumber & Boom company. Appleton, Wis., Jan. 15.—The order adopted in the Canadian council at Toronto, prohibiting the exportation of spruce, pulpwood cut from crown lands, will have no effect on the Wisconsin paper mills supply of pulpwood from Canada. Marquette, Mich.; Jan. 15. Twenty million feet is the estimate placed by well-posted lumbermen on the quantity of hemlock which will be cut this winter along the line of the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic railroad between Marquette and Bessemer. The leather trust is suspected of designs on Lake Superior hemlock. The Pennsylvania forests are nearly exhausted and the trust has had cruisers all through the region between Sault Ste. Marie and Duluth making careful estimates. On these will be based its bids for the hemlock lands. As a result the tanning industry is likely to become centered in the Upper Peninsula. It is estimated that 20,000,000 feet of hemlock will be cut this season. Many owners are holding their timber until there is a market for the bark. Wausaukee, Wis. Jan. 15. [Special.] Four inches of snow fell here last night, which is a boon to the loggers. Teams are scarce, while men are plenty. La Crosse, Wis., Jan. 15.—[Special.]—The figures of the 1890 lumber cut in the La Crosse district have just been completed. The total cut of the ten mills operated is as follows; Lumber, 138,172,000; shingles, 60,195,000; lath, 20,992,000. This is somewhat under the 1898 figures and probably represents the last big cut of lumber at this point, as several firms have quit business here, the supply of logs tributary to La Crosse having become exhausted. The stock on hand December 15 last aggregated as follows; Lumber, 73,243,000; lath, 6,322,000; shingles, 25,063,000. Marinette, Wis., Jan. 15. The annual convention of the Northwestern Cedar men's association was held here Saturday. Over fifty members from Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and Illinois attended. Cedar dealers generally report prosperity. The association decided to advance the price of shingles 10 cents a thousand on all grades. An advance of 10 per cent, was made in the price of posts and a slight advance in poles. a slight advance in poles. The following officers were elected: H. S. Gilkey, Janesville, Wis., president; C. H. Worecester, Fisher, Mich., vice-president; F. E. J. Lang, Hermansville, secretary, and H. W. Reade, Escanaba, treasurer. Menominee, Mich., Jan. 15.—[Special]—Four carloads of bird's-eye maple logs, aggregating 20,000 feet, were shipped from Bark River, Mich., to London, Eng. The shipment was valued at $2,000. Manawa, Wis., Jan. 15.—[Special.]—Lumbermen and others who have a large amount of hauling to do this winter are much encouraged over the snow which this section of the state has received. —Mrs. Charles V. Gridley of Erie, Pa., widow of Capt. Gridley of the Olympia, will attend the Dewey reception at the Brooklyn Union League club on Thursday, February 8. POSTPONED UNTIL SPRING. Elaborate Programme for Installation of White Buffalo. Black River Falls, Wis., Jan. 15.—[Special.] The installation of Thomas R. Roddy, Chief "White Buffalo" of the Winnebago Indians, will not take place until spring, according to a letter received from Mr. Roddy. (The reason for the postponement of the big event is the fact that the tribe are all in their winter quarters and are badly scattered at this season of the year. Many of the Sionx, Chippewa and various other tribes desire to be present, which would be difficult and inconvenient for them during cold weather. White Buffalo writes that the ceremonies will be carried out to the letter as soon as the weather will permit. He expects the feast which he will give to the assembled tribes will cost $1000, and the interesting ceremonies will take place, illustrating historic battles when the question of supremacy was fought to a finish between the Winnebago and the northern tribe many years ago. The festivities will last for a week, and White Buffalo will pay the freight for the honors. Incorporation of Wisconsin Valley Advancement Association. Madison, Wis., Jan. 15. [Special.]—The Wisconsin Valley Advancement association, with headquarters at Tomahawk, filed articles of association with the secretary of state today, its purpose being the advancement and development of the agricultural, manufacturing and mineral interests of Wood, Portage, Marathon, Lincoln, Oneida and Vilas counties. The association is organized without capital. The incorporators are ex-Senator Neal Brown, ex-Attorney-General W. H. Mylrea and John Barnes. The officers are; President, W. H. Bradley of Tomahawk; vice-president, W. E. Brown of Rhinelander; secretary, L. A. Rose of Wausau; treasurer, F. Oberbeck of Centralia. The board of directors includes ex-Senators Riordan and Kreutzer and ex-Assemblyman Yawkey. HOLD COMPANY RESPONSIBLE. Verdict of Coroner's Jury in the Ritterbush Accident. Madison, Wis., Jan. 15.—A coroner's jury investigated the accident by which Brakeman Louis Ritterbush lost his life and returned a verdict that Ritterbush was killed while coupling cars; that the coupling was defective on the side opposite the platform, and he was compelled to make the coupling on the side next the platform; that the platform was wrongly constructed, being only from three to twelve inches from the edge of the cars, and that after making the coupling Ritterbush was caught between the car and platform and carried a distance of about forty feet, crushed between the two. The verdict holds the railroad company responsible for the death. fidus hominem esse solitum sed et dada radii or an omnibus virithi sed vates" leaph sit or passus de plausum of "in esse" leaph sit or passus de plausum of "in esse" leaph sit or passus de plausum Snowfall Creates Demand for Men and Teams to Go to the West Superior, Wis., Jan. 16. [Special] On account of the snowfall of last Saturday there is a big demand for teams and teamsters to go to the woods. All season there has been a larger supply of horses than the demand called for and horseflesh had taken a slump. The prospects now are, however, that the demand will be fully as great as the supply. One team with a teamster is paid from $00 to $75 per month with board for horses and man and it is expected that there will be an increase in this if the snow does not melt. The logging camps in this county are presenting scenes of great activity.

BRILL, - Proprietor. Terms $1.00 Per Day. NORTHWESTERN ~ NEWS OF THE COURTS. ae See ee ee The manner in which James K. P. Hiles was led to attach his signature to three checks drawn on the Marine bank, calling for the payment of $2000 in the aggregate, forms an important factor in a suit on trial before Judge Johnson in which Byron M. Evans is the plaintiff and Mr. Hiles is defending. Mr. Evans seeks to recover $2000 on the checks, the payment of which was stopped the day after they were drawn. The checks were signed July 1, 1897. In his answer Mr. Hiles alleges that the plaintiff and A. J. MeCabe were etgaged in the operation of a gambling room known as the Oriental saloon, at 128 Third street. While he was under the influence of liquor, Mr. Hiles charges, he was induced to sign his name to the checks, which were to be used in gam- bling and were taken for gambling pur- }poses. Mr, Hiles states further that plaintiff, with Mr, McCabe, institated snit on August 9, 1897, against him for the purpose of reeovering on the checks. Upon the service of an answer, he as- serts, the suit was discontinued. Say. orink Wrecked Thiir Home. Mrs. Martha. Wheelock, who was prom- inent in west side German social circles before her marriage to William G. Whee- lock, today instituted suit for divorce. The marriage of the couple took place in Oshkoshe March 18, 1897. The complaint tells a tale of cruel treatment, resulting largely from the use of intoxicating liq- uors by the defendant. | At the time of the marriage the de- fendant was employed as a traveling man for the Jewell Belting company of Hart- ford, Conn., and had a salary of $250 a month and expenses. According to the complaint he lost his position on July 1, 1898. A few days later, plaintiff charges, defendant began to treat her cruelly and began to drink. From that time until August 1, 1899, plaintiff charges defend- ant was under the influence of Hager more or less. The couple resided at Pot- tawomb, Rhode Island. Not Sent to Sparta. Judge Pereles today declined to send 13-year-old Thomas Welch to the state school at Sparta. The lad is an ort phan and a sister with whom he resided was unable to care for him longer, ac- cording to the statement made to the court. The application was made by Supt. Whitehead of the Humane socie- ‘ty. A brother of the lad, however, “agreed to pay $2 a week for his support and the court agreed to his being taken into a private family and cared for in that way. McGuckin Will Contest. The contest over the estate of the late Isabella McGuckin will come before Judge Sawyer of Hartland, sitting in the county court, tomorrow. Mrs. Me- Guckin, some time before her death, ex- ecuted a will devising her property to children and grandchildren. Shortly be- fore she died she executed another will devising the property to a son. The estate is valued at about $4000. An ef- fort is being made to have the second will set aside. Granted Two Divorces. Judge Elliott had his first experience with divorce cases this morning and freed Mamie Connor and William V. Wight. from matrimonial alliances which were | asserted to be burdensome. Mrs. Connor charged her husband, W. H. Conner, with having treated her cruelly. - They lived together but one year. Wight is a musician at the Soldiers’ home and said his wife, Catherine E. Wight, had treat- ed him cruelly. Court Notes. Judge Johnson has signed an order di- recting A. E. Fletcher, receiver for the stockholders of the Plankinton bank, to turn over the assets in his hands to Re- ceiver Herman. Mr. Fletcher is to re- ceive $100 for his services. Replying to the suit of the assignee of F. T. Day to recover for alleged services and expenditures, Judge Jenkins has tiled answer denying the indebtedness. Judge Jenkins says Day acted not as his agent, but speculated for his own benefit. Judge Ludwig this morning granted Oscar Heinrich a divorce from Henrietta Heinrich. Ella M. Duffas was divorced from Edward Duffus. The defendants were in default. Henry Herman applied to Judge John- son this murning for leave, as receiver of the Plankinton bank, to sell five shares of stock of $100 each in the Manistique bank of Manistique, Mich., to the bank | for $500, and to pay a claim of $364.80 out of the proceeds. Mr. Herman said the claim was preferred. Permission was given if Mr. Herman deemed the sale for the best interests of the creditors. — Milton S. Mack today released claim to a legacy of $2500 contained in the will of Mrs. Bertha Mack. The release is a part of a contract between Mr. Mack and his sister Alma, in considera-_ tion of her discharging the estate and the executors, himself and M. R. Engel, | of such claims as she might have against them arising out of their conduct as her guardian, Joseph Le Roy, fireman of the fast mail train on the Milwaukee road run- ning between Chicago find this city, was ordered by Judge Ludwig this morning to pay his wife $5 per week alimony and her attorneys $25, in a.diveree suit which she has instituted. Martha Bennhold received an allow- ance of $3 per week from Herman Benn- hold, by_order of the court, until the di- vorce suit is settled. Judge Johnson went to Madison this morning, necessitating a continuance of all matters in his branch of the circuit court. _ All of the answers in the suit of the county et Mrs. Mary Pettit, save that of Mrs. Pettit, have been filed. All of the defendants, who have been gar- -nisheed, say they have no funds or prop- /erty belonging to Mrs. Pettit. A Pension System for the British Army. The duty of the state seems to be to consider the whole subject of providing an ample pension system for its soldiers at a time when the public have before it the fact that it is only by charity that the deficiency is supplied. Either by some insurance scheme of its own or by the or- dinary method of insurance in accident and life assurance societies, the state should place the soldier who suffers dis- ablement or death in its service in the same legal position as the ordinary _in- surer against accident or death. ~ The mode of insurance and the amount of the policies are precisely the matters which would be disputable; but whatever the amount of his policy might be the soldier would have the legal right to recover it or, in the case of a policy payable on death, to dispose of it by will, or to leave it upon intestacy to become part of his estate going to his family in the usual course of law. Consider the proportion of peace time to war time and the pro- portion of soldiers killed or disabled to the whole number in active service. and it is reasonable to expect that actual cal- culation would show that no high pre- mium would be necessary to secure a sum large enough to provide a working man’s competency.—London Saturday Review. “Women and cats.” said the youthful boarder, “are alike.” “Wrong. young man,” said the cheerful idiot. “A wom- an can’t run up a telegraph pole and a eat can’t run up a millinery bill.”—In- dianapolis Press. ae: SOMETHING ABOUT KIMBERLEY Diamonds Dug Outside of South Afri- ca Would Not Supply Philadelphia. | “Kimberley proper is built around a hole big enough to hold the entire white populaticn of South Africa,” writes Al- lon Sangree in Ainslee’s. “This is the excavation above the Kimberley mine, made when diamonds were mined from the surface. Nowadays shafts are sunk and levels formed, whence the blue ground is blasted out and hauled to the surface in elevators. The diamond is different from other precious stones in that it is found in soft clay, while the amethyst, ruby and emerald are embed- ded in quartz. This makes the diamond easy to conceal in the mouth, nose, and by swallowing, and every year the De Beers company gets from the workmen $2,000,000 worth of stolen goods. The inclination to pilfer these precious stones is so intense that the crime is severely punished. In South Africa the first com- mandment is ‘Thou shalt not steal dia- monds.’ What rape is to Georgia is I. D. B. (illicit diamond brigand) to South Africa. For murder a man may get ten years; for having a diamond found on his person that is not registered, twenty years. At Cape Town is a great convict station called the ‘Breakwater,’ where sons ef prominent American families and English’ aristocrats join in lockstep with Lascars and Kaffirs. They have all vio- lated the first commandment. In Kim- berley 1000 negro convicts sort the dia- monds under the muzzle of Martini ri- fles. They are kept in a separate place. The other black boys live in a five-acre enclosure known as the ‘Compound.’ “The De Beers company controls the diamond market of the world. Of the five mines, Kimberley, De Beers, Du Torts, Pan. Bullfontein and Premier, the first two are situated in Kimberley and are the only ones worked now. The dia- monds produced in other parts of the world would not supply the city of Phila- delphia. The value of the South Afri- can product thus far has been $600,000,- 000. The supply seems inexhaustible. “Two other localities are rich in dia- monds—Joegersfontein and Koffyfontein —both ia Orange Free State. At the former the famous Joegersfontein Ex- celsior, weighing 900 carats, was found in May, 1893, and the output of that field last January was 15,189 carats, valued at $150,000. The corresponding output at Koffyfontein was $11,000 worth, The proportion of diamonds to earth extracted is far greater at Joegersfontein than at Wietinetnsn 3 A Child's Idea of Life. Worcester defines the word “hotel” as a “superior lodging-house,” but a little Boston girl evolved quite a different deti- nition, says Harper's Bazar. Mrs. Blank, who is greatly interested in the sewing-school connected with Trinity church, was one day addressed by a new pupil to this effect: “Teacher, where do you live?” “At the ——,” mentioning one of Bos- ton’s big hotels. “Oh, an’ what do you do?” “Well, I read and write and sew,” was the amused answer, The child Jeaned forward, gazing at Mrs. Blank with great earnestness. Fi- nally she said: _ “Don't cher do no serubbin’ nor noth- in’?” Counterquestioning resulted in the dis- covery that the mother of her little scholar was employed as charwoman in the hotel, and the child concluded it was simply a place where “scrubbin’ or some- thin’ ” was the order of the day. A Government Clockmaster. Col. E. F. Fleming, who was appointed under ex-President Cleveland as clock- master of the treasury department, still holds that position. He has over 500 clocks in his care and is familiarly known in department circles as “Father Time.” He starts on his round of winding his family of eight-day clocks on Monday and gets around to the last one on Sat- urday night.—Baltimore News.
