WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE VOLUME III. EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS. "Is the Negro Woman of Culture and Virtue Given Greater Consideration by the White South Today, Than She Received Twenty Years Ago?" is the title of an able article by Dr. W. G. Alexander in last week's issue of the Voice of Missions. Dr. Alexander starts out with these premises: "I do not believe there is any way, human or divine, to remove race difference from the sphere of human discussion, controversy or occasional conflict; * * * So long as we have white men, black men, yellow men and brown men so long shall we be afflicted with the race question." To the main question he gives a decided "No" for an answer, qualifying that "No," however, by a statement that there has been a decided advance upon the line of recognition and opportunity. He says: "She occupies higher ground, and is recognized by the white South as a real factor in the adjustment of race problems," but he goes on to say that she has not that consideration shown to her in public places which her culture and virtue demands. Dr. Alexander gives the praise for what advancement the negro woman has accomplished to her own exertions, to her admirable work in the several great negro organizations, representing the cream of negro culture and character. Twenty years ago these were overlooked or despised. Now they are recognized factors in the society of the South and have their deliberations carefully reported by the press. This is an advance, and Dr. Alexander attributes it to the fact that the negro woman of culture declines to be drawn into controversies over traditional issues, but confines herself to the one greater task of placing her race upon the highway of races that it may be a recognized factor in the world's civilization. The whole South, Dr. Alexander says, have seen the capacity and vigor with which the negro woman of culture grapples the issues. The educated negro woman begins her work at the very root of the tree; her organizations stand for a reconstructed negro home, teaching the lesson of home ownership; how to make and keep a home; the character and dignity of the marriage vow. In view of this work accomplished the doctor notes the gradual yielding of the white South of greater consideration to the negro woman of education by an acknowledgment of the worker and the work and that the white South regard the co-operation which they give organizations directed by educated negro women as bringing about better relations and release from harassing race conditions. The white South shows its willingness to accept a competent ally for the solution of the difficult race problem, the negro woman proving that her aim is to lift the negro woman, the negro man, the negro boy and girl to that plane where her race may stand honorably respected and disenthralled. Dr. Alexander maintains that the conservative cultured negro woman will by moderation and wisdom secure for her race larger opportunities and greater concessions. In securing these he advises them to keep the following as two of the strongest planks on their platform. (1) That every capable young woman or girl shall be utilized in some sphere of race rescue and, (2) the maintenance of the confidence and cooperation of the white South. Dr. Alexander concludes by prophesying that if the negro woman has accomplished so much in twenty years and if her organization will wisely continue the work so well begun, "we will witness one of the greatest revolutions in negro race-life and conditions in the South ever known to history." Had not our Milwaukee lady friends better get a move on themselves and begin to show some results from their different orders and organizations? We must compliment the pro tempore editor of the Colorado Statesman upon his issue of last week. It compares favorably with the issues of professional editors. One thing we noticed, however, was a marvelous number of glaring mistakes in the spelling of English words. We do not attribute this, of course, to the reverend editor, but to some oversight of the proofreader or undecipherable copy. We are sorry that from a typographical error in our last week's issue the initials of the gentleman in Oshkosh to whom the letter was addressed, from Hot Springs, Ark., were misprinted. The gentleman referred to was G. H. Buckstaff, not W. H. Buckstaff. "In the best-regulated families mistakes will occur." A certain reverend gentleman who left Milwaukee some years ago to carry on his work, organized a Baptist church in Chicago and christened it "The Burning Bush," but when Ida B. Wells got behind him with her paper the Bush was consumed. M. B. We have much pleasure in reproducing the portrait of the Hon. S. R. Van Sant, the recently-elected governor of the state of Minnesota. The Afro-American has particular reason to admire, praise and be grateful to the able and efficient executive of our sister state. Gov. Van Sant, in a conversation held with the proprietor of this paper some months previous to his election, said that, if elected, he would not forget the Afro-American voters of his state, who had stood by him in his candidacy for the Republican gubernatorial nomination and who had afterwards aided in his election. How well he has kept this promise is evidenced by the fact that within a few days after his inauguration he appointed one after another four Afro-Americans to office. Gov. Van Sant is not the only Republican who was supported in his candidacy by Afro-American voters. Neither is he the only one who made promises as to what he would do for them in the event of his election, but thus far we wish our friends in Wisconsin to take particular notice that he is one of the infinitessimally few successful politicians of the Northwest who has kept his promises to the letter. White men accuse the Afro-American of shiftlessness and shiftiness, of a disregard of binding obligations, and of failure to keep agreements, with what amount of truth or weight we will not in this article attempt to discuss. But we will say from experience that the average white Republican politician in Milwaukee county has no more regard for a solemn pledge made to an Afro-American than one has to New Year's resolutions after the first week is over. And the promises made by white Republican office-seekers to colored voters are made with the knowledge on the part of the maker that these are not to be kept. Indeed they never have the remotest intention of keeping them, and this we are sorry to say extends not only to political promises but to other affairs of life. Among the appointees of Gov. Van Sant we are pleased to notice the name of our old friend and correspondent, Mr. D. E. Beasley, a graduate of Dennison university, O., to the position of private messenger to his excellency, the governor. Likewise Mr. James Woodford obtains a position in the office of the lieutenant-governor, and Messrs. Walter McCoy and Joseph Strong respectively in the Senate and Assembly. Wisconsin Republicans likewise made promises but their fulfillment is yet to come. A colored gentleman stumped the state during the last campaign, receiving tremendous ovations, carrying the banner of Republicanism into every part of the state and thereby gained many votes for the party. The Colored Men's Republican club of Milwaukee won enconiums from the press and the people. But in the division of the spoils the colored brother is as usual fast being forgotten. The greedy Anglo-Saxon and the still greedier Teuton and Celt are masters of the situation. The colored man is not in it. The Coming Judicial Election The citizens of the county of Milwaukee will be called upon in a few weeks to elect four judges. The positions to be filled are those of circuit judge, county judge, municipal judge and judge of the new district court. For these positions the present incumbents are again candidates. The position of clerk of courts is likewise to be filled and Mr. Frank Woller is of course again a candidate. For the first position on the list, that of judge of the circuit court, we unhesitatingly endorse the candidature of the present incumbent, the Hon. L. W. Halsey, and despite the underhand methods of part of the Democratic county committee we are certain that his honor's personality and proved impartiality will carry him through, and we strenuously urge upon all our people and friends to give him their hearty support. The methods pursued by Judge Halsey's opponent, Baron von Cotzhausen, in his candidacy is acting like a boomerang. For the offices of county and municipal judges there are at present as candidates only the present incumbents, Judges Wallber and Brazee. That there will be opposition, especially to the latter honorable gentleman, is undoubted. The support of this paper is heartily given to these same honorable gentlemen. In regard to the contest for the judg- ship of the new district court, we cannot endorse the present incumbent, Judge N. B. Neelen. His decisions of late have been satisfactory neither to the bar nor the public and a change seems to be necessary in the interests of both. No better successor to him could be found, in our opinion, than the gentleman who is opposing him, Albert C. Runkel, and although the Hon. Neelen has all the county law officials working for him on the Q. T. we rather think that Mr. Runkel's popularity, especially among union workingmen, will carry him through, and we recommend him to the favorable notice of our readers. So far as the office of clerk of the municipal court is concerned we confess that we should like to see a change. Mr. Woller, efficient as he undoubtedly is, has now, in our opinion, had a sufficiently protracted period of office-holding and ought in common fairness now give place to another who, with a few weeks' experience, will be "just as good." Such is our summing up of the features of the judicial contest at the present writing. JOHN BRAUN CAPT. JOS. G. FERARI.

It the colored Baptists of Milwaukee want to worship in a church of their own denomination they will have to attend one of the churches of the white Baptists. The Baptist Ministers' association decided by unanimous vote yesterday not to establish a church for colored Baptists. This action was taken in accordance with a recommendation of a special committee, headed by Rev. S. A. Price, which investigated the necessity of such a church. The committee reported that it found the number of colored Baptists in the city too small to require the establishment of a special church for them. It thought that the few who are here could attend the Methodist colored church or the Baptist churches for white people. The colored Baptists of the city had a church of their own several years ago, but were not able to maintain it. SUSAN MORGAN PASSES AWAY. Colored Woman Who was Recently Married on Her Deathbed. Susan Morgan, the colored woman for whose marriage to the man she had lived with a lifetime a dispensation was granted recently that she might die a wife, died Sunday afternoon at her home in the rear of 708 Wells street. She was 53 years of age and was born a slave, as was also her husband. The funeral, which was largely attended, was held Tuesday morning from St. Mark's African Methodist church and the interment was at Forest Home. Rev. Lewis officiated at the church and also conducted a short service at the cemetery. The pallbearers were Tony Burgette, Sam Rice, Cyrus Clarke, Phillips, Capt. Carter and Jack Miller. Brother Jack Morgan wishes to thank his many friends for their sympathy with him in his bereavement. A Cataclysm. "Could you tell me the meaning of the word 'cataclysm?' he asked of the street car passenger who was folding up his newspaper. "Are you going to ride two or three blocks farther?" was queried in reply. "Yes, sir." "Then you'll see one. The conductor has carried that sharp-nosed woman two streets past where she wanted to get off already, and she'll wake up soon and start a cataclysm that'll probably jump the car right off the track."—Washington Post.

Notice to Our Readers We have removed our office from 209 Fifth street to more commodious premises at 327 Wells street, where we will be glad to see our patrons as of old. *** The law firm of Timlin, Glicksman & Conway, 105 Grand avenue, is one well worthy of the confidence and support which the public accords to it. While renewing his subscription the other day the senior member of the firm took occasion to compliment us upon the manner in which the Advocate was conducted, remarking that it was the equal of any weekly paper published in Wisconsin, afr. Timlin, and indeed all the members of the firm, are steadfast friends of the colored race, and that without any display of patronage and superiority. The office staff, consisting of Miss Kate Kershaw and Messrs. Walter Gold, William Bell and Edwin Haas, are courteous and obliging to all callers. Success to the firm, we say. * * * We are glad to learn that Mrs. Darrow, 38 Eighth street, who more than two weeks ago fell downstairs and was seriously injured, is now on the fair read to recovery, being now able to be out of bed. We wish her a complete and suedey recovery. * * * Mrs. Walls and Mrs. Nelson paid us a visit the other evening. Mrs. Walls has heard from her husband in Buffalo, N. Y., where he says there is every prospect of a good time. He has already refused offers of employment at $65 per month. We were certain of his success. Mrs. Nelson's conversation is always interesting, as she is one of those ladies who have the uplifting of the race at heart. Her endeavors do not meet with the success they deserve, however, but that is through no fault of hers, because she labors for her purpose in season and out of season. We appreciate visits such as these and only wish there were more of them. * * * The proprietor of this paper, while collecting his New Year's accounts, meets with courteous treatment as a rule. The exception is to be found, unfortunately, in his own race. His representative, while attempting to collect a half year's subscription, had to convey to him a by no means polite message. But what can be expected from a man who will insult his own female relatives? The proprietor gives this subscription as a belated New Year's gift. ```markdown ``` We regret to notice the death of Mrs. Rietbrock, wife of the senior member of the firm of Rietbrock & Halsey, which took place Tuesday at her home, 261 Eigthteenth street. Mrs. Rietbrock had, we understand, endeared herself to her friends by her sympathetic nature and to the poor and needy by always being ready to relieve them in the time of want. The family have our deepest sympathy in their bereavement. ☆ ☆ ☆ Quite a little colony of Afro-Americans is now located at Bay View, where the male members are employed in the Illinois Steel company's works. In all there are about twenty families. Most, if not all of these attend the church services conducted there by Rev. Joseph Jackson of the E. M. E. church (who, by the way, is expected home next week). Two families we visited recently—those of Paul Weaver and Thomas Brown—quite charmed us by their reception. Both these gentlemen have nice families and homes, and became subscribers to the Advocate. * * * A few days ago, at a meeting of the Baptist association in this city, it was decided that the maintenance of a separate church for the Afro-American Baptists of this city was unnecessary, and recommending that the few colored Baptists worship in the white Baptist churches or in St. Mark's A. M. E. church. The Advocate believes this decision on the part of the association to have been a wise one. Circumstances and events have proven that there is little if any need of a colored Baptist church in this city. That few of the colored Baptists appreciate it and the attendance is not large enough to warrant the trouble and expense. It simply furnishes an excuse for a lot of jack-leg preachers, deacons and hangers-on to pull the legs of the public and has done but little good. The Baptist church among the colored people under the pastorate of Rev. Dickey when the congregation rent- cd the hall from Cream City lodge. K. of P., and held meetings at 150 Broadway, was a credit to the city and to the colored people, but they got into a disagreement with the gentleman who had the renting of the hall and left, and the church has not amounted to very much since. If Rev. Odam had listened to common sense and went and bought a lot instead of building a church on leased ground, the church might have amounted to something. Rev. Odam took in thirty-five members and turned out sixty. He baptized and took into his church persons who were publicly known to be living in adultery. The preachers keep no books, no one knows what is being collected, and the sooner the blot is removed the better for the community. * * * In our next week's issue we will give the history of the colored Baptist church in Milwaukee from the time of the Rev. Mr. Dickey to that of the Rev. Odam. Meanwhile we only say that we are compelled by the law of evidence and common sense to endorse the action of the white Baptists in this matter. Since writing the above our attention has been called to a communication from the deacons and pastor of Mount Olive Baptist Home mission to the Evening Wisconsin of last night (February 6), relative to this matter. By the way, what are the qualifications for a deacon in any church? These are three in number—(1) Popular men; (2) religious men; (3) good business men.

Main street, of which Mr. William Neher is proprietor. Miss B. Miller, the cook, will look after their gastronomic wants to their entire satisfaction, and Miss M. Werenberg will daintily serve the same. The proprietor had a pleasant visit the other day with the vice-president and general manager of the Winnebago Traction company, Oshkosh, Mr. Edwin Downs. Mr. Downs is a true friend of the race and does everything in his power for their betterment. He at once renewed his subscription to the Advocate and complimented them upon its management. We also had a pleasant conversation with his accomplished treasurer, Miss May Rotherwell, who at once charms one with her agreeable and unaffected manner. We had a very pleasant visit while in Oshkosh with Mr. George H. Buckstaff. 110 Tenth street. M. Buckstaff is always cordial and hospitable, and his wife and family ably second him in his many benefactions. He is a warm friend of the Advocate and appreciates our endeavors to make it a first-class weekly paper in every respect. It is a pleasure for us to meet with gentlemen like him, who recognize no distinction of race or class. No people are more grateful for kindness shown than we are, and we take Mr. Buckstaff's kindness to us as one shown to the whole race. HERE AND THERE. WEALTHY NEGRO. Gives $1000 Towards the Entertainment of Veterans. Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 29.—The finance committee of the Confederate Veterans' reunion has received a check for $1000 from Robert R. Church, the wealthiest colored citizen in Memphis, who was born a slave and served as such in his youth. This is the second largest individual contribution yet received by the committee.—Mobile Weekly Press. It has become a question of discussion among many who are interested in the welfare of the negro, whether he is grateful to those who have elevated him and whether he has improved by his opportunities. It seems as if the Southern negro with his alleged drawbacks and the discrimination against him, has made better headway than the Northern negro, who is permitted to exercise his civil and political rights. With but a few exceptions, the Northern negro's principal occupation is in the hotel and doing the catering business. You can find more colored caterers in the state of Pennsylvania than you can in any state in the Union. The Southern negro is more enterprising and has more inventive genius than any negro in any section of the country. It is not believed that the negro has improved his opportunities and advantages afforded him. He is taken up with too much frolic. He is getting to be indolent. The negro professors are being crowded, most of them imagine that they are cut out for doctors, lawyers and other professions. The farmer wants to be a doctor and the scullion wants to be an artist. There should be established in this country a school of selection whose duty should be to select the best vocation in life a negro is best fitted.—Washington Bee. The Washington Bee is responsible for the statement that at present a great social war is going on between two colored society clubs of the capital over the question of negro social recognition at the coming inauguration of McKinley and Roosevelt. Well, they would be showing to better purpose if they go to work. It is said of Bismarck, the iron chancellor, that once while reviewing a corps of the German army composed of boys he was heard to remark: "These NUMBER 41. fellows are h-1 on dress parade, but not worth a d-n for actual fighting." and it is pretty much true of the average member of the Washington colored "400." The great mass of negroes in the nation's capital are simply hanging around, and through their profligacy and general cussedness are doing more to create adverse settlement for the colored population of the country than the negro inhabitants of any other city. It would be a good thing if really meritorious fellows like Perry Carson, E. E. Cooper, W. Calvin Chase and others, would open up on these national loafers and assist in having them "moved on." Dallas Express. There are about 100 business establishments among the colored people in St. Louis, among which are eight well-doing groceries, two excellent drug stores, three extensive dealers in merchandise, besides a goodly number of paving and mechanical business conducted in the most creditable manner. One corporation with a capital stock of $50,000. We have sixteen dentists and physicians who have a flourishing practice and who are rapidly acquiring a competency. These negro doctors are learned and skilled, so recognized by both races, among which their practice extends. In legal profession twelve lawyers find a lucrative field for their talents. One is a prosecuting attorney for the city, and others have represented celebrated cases before the state and federal Supreme courts. There are thirty-seven carriers and clerks in the federal departments, many of whom by long service and study have acquired an efficiency which none excel. In the various branches of the city government are thirteen colored clerks and deputies, whose salaries range from $75 to $150 per month. Besides these are a goodly number of colored men who hold positions to which comfortable salaries are attached.—St. Louis Palladium. Chattanooga, Tenn., Jan. 31.—State Senator Walton Peake wants to exclude Northern white teachers from the colored schools of this state. To that end he has introduced a bill providing that teachers in all schools shall be elected from members of their own race. In presenting this bill Mr. Peake took occasion to make a sensational statement, in which he said the South's race troubles did not come from the negroes, but from the school teachers imported from the North. These, he said, put foolish and dangerous notions into their heads, and he for one wanted to see negroes taught by negroes. There were plenty of negroes, he said, capable of teaching their brethren. The bill, if passed, will prevent whites from teaching in Fisk, Roger Williams and other important negro educational institutions. A fight will be made against it, as it will stir up the friends and relatives everywhere of the white teachers in these and like institutions throughout the state.—Philadelphia Tribune. A bill offered by Congressman George H. White of North Carolina was passed by the House of Representatives January 21, appropriating $100,000 of the unclaimed funds due the colored soldiers of the Civil war, to erect a suitable building on the land owned by an association organized to establish the Home for the Aged and Infirm Colored People of the District of Columbia. There were 139 votes for, 59 against, 6 who simply answered "present" and 153 refrained from voting. This is a fortunate thing for the district. But our feeling is that if there is not a sufficient amount to establish a great National home, or to assist a similar movements in, especially former slave states, the appropriation would better not be made at all. Still the measure may not pass the Senate.—Southwestern Christian Advocate. "God Almighty comprehends all men in the cycle of his mercy. His love makes no distinction between them but what arises from the different degrees of their virtues. Can laws then, which ought to be an emancipation of eternal justice, encourage so culpable a partiality? Can that government whose duty it is to protect alike all the members of the same great family be the mother of one branch and the stepmother only of the other." Henry C. Davis, a grandson of the noted abolitionist, Lucretia Mott, president of the State Line and Sullivan railroad, a director of the Union league and an active spirit in the amelioration of the condition of the Southern negro, during and since the war, died at his residence, 902 Spruce street, Philadelphia, Wednesday, at the age of 62 years. William J. Bryan, presidential candidate, is acquainting himself with newspaperdom. We trust he will make a better editor than he did presidential timber. Colored people have so little respect for each other that the thing is becoming provenbial. If you don't believe it, go into business; they will do the rest. Colorado Statesman. Diamonds Are Higher. "If I had invested all my money in diamonds four years ago," said a jeweler. "and sold them at the present price my profits would have been larger than they have been in my business. I received the tip then to buy diamonds and hold them, but I neglected it. The prices for certain kinds of stones has advanced $25 or $30 a carat and it may go higher. I know an eccentric man who for years has invested his savings in diamonds of good quality. Some of the stones he has had mounted in jewelry which he wears and others he keeps unset. He told me not-long ago that at the present market price he could sell his collection at a profit of $6000 more than he gave for them."—New York Sun. GEN. MARTHUR GOES UP. Uiiioabins a Major General Sent to the Senate. REWARD FOR SERVICES. Gen, Miles shear by the nent Washington, D. C., Feb. 5.—The President set at rest a large amount of speculation regarding Gens. Miles and MacArthur by selecting the former to be lieutenant general and the latter to be major general. The nominations were sent to the Senate today. _ Brig.-Gen. Young and Col. Chaffee are also named as major generals along with MacArthur, the latter, however, taking third place in the order of appointment. -For some time there has been more or less talk that because of feeling be- tween Gen. Miles and the secretary of war there would be a new head for the army. The appointment of Gen. Miles to be lieutenant general shows that the President was not seriously influenced vy_the talk that was indulged In. Other nominations announced were the following: Colonels to be brigadier generals: John (. Bates, Second infantry, U. S. A. (major os 'U. S$. V.); Col. Lloyd Wheaton, eventh Infantry, U. S.A. (major general U. 8. V.); George W. Davis, Twenty-third infantry (brigadier general U. 8. V.); Theo- jore Sehwan, assistant adjutant general U. 8. A. (brigadier general U.S. V.); Samuel 3. Sumner, Sixth cavalry, U.S. _A.; Leon- ard Wood, assistant surgeon U. 8. A. (ma- for general U. 8. V.); Robert H. Hall, Fourth infantry, U. S. A. (brigadier gen- aral U. 8. voi Robert P. Hughes, inspector reneral U. 8. A. (brigadier general U. 8. Vj; George M. Randall, Eighth infantry, Oo. S. A. (Onmntien pence! U. 8. V.): also Maj. William A. ‘obbe, Third artillery, U.S. A. (brigadier general U. 8. V.); Brig.- zen. Frederick D. Grant, U. S. V.; Capt. I. Franklin Bell, Seventh cavalry, U. S. A. (brigadier general U. S. V.). Gens. Young and MacArthur _ are jumped over Brig.-Gens. Wade and Mer- ‘iam, and Gen. Chaffee also is advanced aver those two officers, as well as over Gens. MacArthur and Ludlow and fifty- three colonels who had higher relative tank than he in the regular army. 'The action in the case of Gen. Chaffee ‘s accepted in military circles as an indi- sation that he is to be placed in supreme command of the military forces in the Philippines and that Gens. Young nad MacArthur, who are now in that coun- ry, are to be relieved shortly and as- signed to duty in the United States. The law provides for six major gen- srals and the promotion of Maj.-Gen. Miles leaves another vacancy in that grade which it is generally understood, will be filled by the appointment of Brig.- Gen. J. F. Wade, the senior officer of iis grade. ‘There is still one vacancy in the list of brigadier-generals and another will be nade by the retirement of Gen. Schwan, who is said to be in failing health. Col. ‘Daggett of the Fourteenth infantry, who las just returned to San Francisco from gallant service in China, is booked_for ippointment as a brigadier-general. It is »xpected that he will be retired imme- liately. PERISHED IN FLAMES. Children Burned to Death ina Fire Believed to Have Been Start- ed by Tramps. Binghamton, N. Y., Feb. 5.—Two per- sons perished and three were fatally in- jured in a fire which destroyed the Ex- position hotel in this city today. The dead: Harry Severson, aged about 30 years, a musician, burned beyond rec- »gnition; Sid Holland, aged 39, a horse- nan, suffocated. Fatally injured: Tom Cook, a racing man, burned about the head and body; John Regon, face, head and body fright- fully burned and internally injured in jumping; Dora Darrow, back broken by jumping from a third-story window. Westminster, B. C., Feb. 5.—A_ fire, supposed to have been started by tramps, destroyed the residence and farm build- ings of Guy Whiteside of ‘'ynehead, and burned to death his two children who were asleep when the fiames broke out. Whiteside rescued his wife with difficulty and the two made frantic efforts to save the children, but were driven back by the smoke. Search is being made for the sup- posed incendiaries. Boston, Mass., Feb. 5.—Fire in the up- oer story of the First National bank on State street damaged property to the ex- tent of $50,000 ‘this morning. An_ ad- joining building owned by the Globe Newspaper company was slightly dam- aged. The wife of the janitor of the bank and her T-year-old child were re- moved from their rooms in the building n an unconscious condition and taken to a hospital, where it is said the woman will die. The total loss probably will be $30,000. Wellston, O., Feb. 5.—Fire today gut- ted the postoflice building and destroyed 1 large quantity of mail. Three other ouildings, including the First National bank, were damaged. No estimates have yeen made, but the losses will amount to several thousand dollars.

Taylor during his incumbency and who was tried as_a principal in the shooting of Gov. William Goebel, and found guilty, was arraigned before Judge Cantrill late this afternoon and sentenced to life im- prisonment. When sentence was prenounced Yout- sey exclaimed: “I am innocent. I have jéen convicted by. base and infamous imbornations of perjury.” No appeal will be taken, and the pris- mer will be taken to state prison shortly. A Qnueen’s Wedding Landau. The marriage landau of the Queen of the Netherlands is on exhibition on the premises of a carriage builder in the Boulevard Haussmann, in Paris.

DOZEN ARE ON THE LIST. Foreign Ministers in China De- mand the Death Penalty. TUAN TO BE BANISHED. Sentence to be Passed Upon Two Who A Pekin, Feb. 6.—The ministers definiieciy decided, at a third meeting, held last night, to demand the imposition of the death penalty upon all twelve of the Chinese officials named in the list sub- mitted, including those who are dead, on account of the moral effect upon the Chi- nese. The sentence on the living must be in- flicted except in the cases of Prince Tuan and Duke Lan, which the eae may commute to banishment to Turkestan. At the meeting of the foreign ministers and Chinese plefiipotentiaries today, 2 formal indictment against the twelve offi- ciais whose punishment had been de- manded hy the powers was read, how- ever, though Kang Yi and Li Ping Hen are dead. The officials whose ees has been demanded | are: Prince Chuang, commander-in-chief of the Boxers, who had a large share in the responsibility for promises of rewards of 50 taels for the capture of foreigners and the death of persons protecting them; Prinee Tuan, who was responsible for the edicts against foreigners issued between June 30 and August 16, and was mainly re- sponsible for the massacres in the proy- inces, especially Shan Si; who ordered the troops to attack the legations, and who is the recognized author of the ultimatum of June 19 directing the diplomatic corps to leave Pekin within twenty-four hours, and who ordered before the expiration of this delay firing upon all foreigners found upon the streets of the eapital, and who was practically the author of the assas- sination of Baron Ketteler, the German ainiiter: Also Duke Lan, Ying Nien, Kang Yi, Chaos Su Kiam, Yu Hsien, Gen, Tung Fuh Siang, who with Prince Tuan carried out in Pekin the plans against the foreigners and who command- ed the attacks on the legations and the soldiers who assassinated the Japanese chancellor; Li Ping Heng, Hsu Tung, Hsu Cheng Yu and Kih Siu.

Afterward the viceroy stated that he was anthorized by the Emperor to sanc- tion the death penalty demanded except in the cases of Prince Tuan and Duke Lan, who would, however, be degraded and banished; and he also requested a postponement of action regarding Gen. Tung Fuh Siang. The Russian, French and American ministers signified their acceptance of the Chinese proposition. The German minister, Baron Mumm von Schwartzen- stein, said that he hoped to give the decision of the Berlin government in a few hours. Ultimatum as to Troops. The Chinese envoys wanted to discuss other terms of the joint note, but the for- eign ministers declined te advance pro- ceedings beyond the punishment issue. They did, however, intorm Li Hunz Chang and Prince Ching that the foreign troops would not be withdrawn until the punishment finally agreed upon was meted out. Rev. W. 8.

Material Benefits Resulting from Sir Henry Bessemer’s Invention. According to Prof. R. H. Thurston, who-writes of ‘The Steel Industry of America,” in the Century, Sir Menry Bessemer’s invention has added more tc the world’s wealth than any other save the steam engine. The following figures give an idea of the extent of the predue- tion of steel throughout the world: ‘The world's product of Bessemer stee! in 1892 would have made a colonnade of pillars 20 feet in diameter and 100 high, 1672 in number, extending over three miles, 836 on each hand, or a single row over six miles long. Every working day in that year there was produced the equivalent of between five and six such columns, and a day’s work resulted in | the output of nearly as much as was the total annual product of the great city of ‘Sheflield at the time of Bessemer’s in- vention, The annual production of Bessemer steel was, in another comparison, shown to be the equivalent of a column 100 feet ip diameter, the size of a moderately- large gas holder, and 6684 feet 6 inehes iigh—a mile and a third. This would be sixteen and one-half times as high as the cross on the dome of St. Paui’s in Lon- don. One-twelfth of its altitude wonld measure the production of a single month and would rise to above the height ef the Washington monument. A single heur would yield a pillar of steel 9 feet in diameter and about 140 feet high, the altitude of a tall church steeple. The work of a year would construct a sieve! wall 5 feet in thickness, 20 feet high and 100 miles long, which would be enough to enclose an area of about 800 square miles, 3144 miles in diameter, sufficient to enclose Landon and its,suburbs ina circle rediating over thirty miles from St. Paul’s or the Bank. The foundation of the wall itself would occupy sixty acres. The United States enters the new cen- tury with just about this teial productien of steel.

Representatives of Foreign Ship-Owners Industriously Distributing Free "Literature" to Arouse a Spirit of Opposition Among the People. Washington correspondence: From now until the end of the present session of Congress the people in the interior of the country may expect to see any amount of free "literature" distributed at the expense of the foreign ship-owners who are represented here in opposition to the shipping bill, in order to arouse a spirit of opposition among the people to the passage of the measure in question. One of the main arguments relied upon to create hostility to the shipping bill is the allegation that "wealthy people will get the people's hard-earned money," but there will be nothing said about the wealthy people who get this money being compelled to earn it. This "literature" against the shipping bill that is paid for by the foreign shipowners will contain such questions as "Why should the people's money be used to further enrich millionaire shipowners and ship-builders?" And, having put the matter in this way, the "literature" contains arguments against "class legislation" and especially against any "scheme" that will "enrich the few at the expense of the many." These are merely samples of the class hatreds which free-traders, doing the dirty work of the foreign ship-owners, are obliged to resort to in the hope of winning opponents to the shipping bill. "Now, if it were, for argument's sake admitted," said an Indiana representative in Congress to the writer, "that the government's money would be paid out to wealthy people, under the provisions of the shipping bill. my study of it has shown me that these wealthy people will be compelled to build new ships in the United States before they get a dollar of Uncle Sam's money. It sometimes takes a couple of years to build a ship, especially of the largest and swiftest. During all of that time the wealthy ship-owner is doing nothing but paying money out, first for materials and then for labor, and for one ship sometimes as much as two millions of dollars will be spent, before the owner has received one penny upon his investment. All of this time," continued my Congressional informant, "labor will have been receiving, from the mining of the iron ore, the coal, the quarrying of the lime stone, the transportation upon inland ships and railroads, the shaping of the steel in the mill, its carriage to the shipyard, and its final assemblage into a finished ship, about 95 per cent of this two millions of dollars. "Labor has been paid, it has taken no chances, as, from week to week the wages have been forthcoming. Then the troubles of the owner begins. He must put her in trade, perhaps, in a new route, where there is little business at first, where his ships must run, for a while, perhaps, with only half cargoes each way, until producers begin to find out that it is a stable line, running its ships frequently and regularly, and which will lead to ventures in exports both ways, by which, eventually, a remunerative trade may be built up. And from the time the first spadeful of earth is turned to mine the materials which enter into the ship's construction, until it has become a paying venture to her owner, he is steadily paying out his money in one form or another to American labor. When this view of the real operation of the measure was forcefully brought to my attention by a delegation of workingmen from my district, who came here for that sole purpose," concluded the Indiana Congressman, "I came to the conclusion that there was much more of merit in the shipping bill than I had believed, before—a conclusion that has been confirmed the more I have examined the provisions of the bill in detail, and a conclusion that has induced me to give the measure my hearty support and warm advocacy." From this single incident and this graphic illustration it must be obvious that the life of an American shipowner is not that of gilded ease, even when fortified with a government subsidy. Can't Fool Them Again. We are promised fresh propaganda by the free-traders. They are going to rake over the ashes and apply the bells. Just what the result will be cannot be predicted, but they will find the people pretty busy this time, and with quite a fund of experience and reminiscence. Still, if the free-traders have anything new to offer now is the time to unravel it. If there is any way to increase our prosperity we want to know it, but still—let us repeat—we are pretty busy. There Is No Balm. Exports for the year 1900 will foot not far from $1,475,000,000; imports of $835,000,000, leaving in the neighborhood of $650,000,000 balance in our favor. No bonds required to replenish an empty treasury, but a surplus of funds in Uncle Sam's vaults. All this is gall and wormwood to the average free-trader. Is there no balm in Gilead for the enemy of protection? Not a balm. Far from Dwindling: Some of the free-trade papers have been referring recently to the business of wool growing as a "dwindling industry." This only means that these free-trade papers are preparing for an attack on the present protective tariff on wool. Their characterization of the wool-growing industry has nothing to do with the facts of the case. If it had, they could hardly use the word "dwindling" in reference to the business, for the figures given in the United States Statistical Abstract show that the number of sheep in the United States has increased by more than 5,000,000 since 1897, when President McKinley succeeded President Cleveland and the Dingley law supplanted the Wilson law atrocity; and that the total wool clip has increased proportionally. If this is the sort of industry that the free traders call "dwindling," it is not so strange, perhaps, that they claim that free trade is a good thing, for it is evident that they are twisted in their understanding of the meanings of words. The Descending Scale. American workmen and merchants are receiving more for their goods and getting higher wages than they were under the Wilson bill, a fact they seem to ignore when they began to charge up against the Dingley tariff the crime of increasing the prices. The descending scale of the low tariff is cheap prices, cheap labor, cheap men.—Davenport (Iowa) Republican. The Festiferous Reform Club As soon as the free trade New York Reform Club succeeded in arousing a slight public sentiment against the subsidizing of fast steamships, on the ground that the latter would get practically all of the subsidy, it turned right about and denounced the bill because it would not cause the building of another swift steamship! Senator Vest's Argument. It is a pity that Senator Vest, in his three hours' speech in favor of free ships, failed to name even one American citizen who would be willing to put a foreign buit ship under the American flag and run her in the foreign trade in competition with foreign ships, without aid from our government. Hanna a Leader. Senator Hanna affords a striking illustration of the old saw, "Malice loves a shining mark!" in the manner in which he is abused by the Democratic press, ostensibly because of his connection with the shipping bill, but actually because he has twice led his party to national victory. Pettigrewism Diminishing. Pettigrewism perceptibly diminishes as Pettigrew reaches the end of his rope, and his filibustering against administration measures in the Senate is regarded as harmless, as he has come to be regarded by the people at large. Object to a Full Dinner Pail. The wage-earners' full dinner pail is especially objectionable to the average free-trader. A small dinner pail only half full may be a poor tonic for the laboring man, but the usual free-trader will tolerate no other. All but Ceased. From the land of the sunflower comes a mighty wind, the sound of rustling checks and greenbacks and silver certificates; and the old hot blast of Populism and Bryanism has all but ceased to blow.—New York Sun. If They Could Forget. Mr. Cleveland's efforts to pull the Democratic party out of the mire would receive more applause if Democrats could forget Mr. Cleveland's share in putting it into the mire.—Kansas City Journal. Scenator Depew Fayora It. As a master of transportation Senator Depew naturally is an advocate of an American ship revival bill. He speaks as an expert, on which account what he says is entitled to the greatest weight. Do Something and Do It Quick! CONGRESS SAVE THEM A CHANCE Surprised by Dickens. "I vividly recall hearing Charles Dickens read selections from his own writings in Steinway Hall, New York City, shortly after the close of our Civil War," said Judge A. R. White. "The hall was densely packed with an audience of cultured people, by far the major part of whom were intense admirers of the man who was to entertain them that evening. I was a youngster then, but was glad to part with $2 to hear the author of 'Nicholas Nickleby' read his own lines. But his appearance on the stage, though greeted by applause, was a distinct shock, so thoroughly out of keeping was his costume with the conventional evening attire of a gentleman," quotes the Washington Post. "He was clad in a short velvet coat that looked exactly like a smoking jacket, velvet vest to match and a flaming red necktie. Such a garb was in reality an affront and an impertinence to that fashionably clad assemblage. But it was overlooked as an eccentricity of genius, and much applause attended the rendition. "Nowadays the newspapers would roast any man, however famous, for daring to come before the public in such grotesque attire, but I do not recall that any of the New York papers criticised the distinguished visitor for his sartorial laxity." REV. CORY THOMAS SUES FOR LIBEL. Former Rector of Church at Ishpeming, Mich., Who is Now in London. London, Feb. 6.—In the King's bench division of the high court of justice today Rev. Tuberville Cory Thomas of Chicago, formerly a rector of Ishpeming, Mich., but a resident in England since 1897, is suing Rev. Bernard Spink for libel in imputing immoral conduct with three women. According to the evidence Mr. Spink repeated the libel in a letter to Bishop Williams of the diocese of Marquette. Mr. Thomas denies the allegations and claims substantial damages. The case was adjourned after the plaintiff's evidence had been presented and a letter from Bishop McLaren of Chicago had been read, saying he had lost all confidence in the plaintiff. TROUBLE IS IN SIGHT. Mrs. Nation will be Promptly Arrested if She Smashes Saloons in Missouri. Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 6.—Flaming bills have been posted in this city announcing that "Mrs. Carrie Nation, the bravest woman in America, now leading the most wonderful crusade ever waged against the rum traffic, is on her way to Chicago, accompanied by a band of her saloon-smashing warriors, and will speak at the Academy of Music in Kansas City on Friday evening, February." Just what tactics Mrs. Nation will pursue in Kansas City and Chicago aside from her lecturing is not known. Chief of Police Hayes says he will promptly arrest Mrs. Nation if she attempts to put her Kansas methods into practice in this city. Preparations for Mrs. Nation's coming have been made by the Prohibition club of Kansas City, which has endorsed Mrs. Nation's methods and promised active support in her crusade outside of Kansas. Mrs. Nation's advance agent says the proceeds of the lectures will be used in the temperance cause. Topeka, Kas., Feb. 6.—Mrs. Carrie Nation, the temperance crusader, made no effort to raid "joint's" during the morning hours today. Guards were on duty at the doors of the places at daylight, but Mrs. National and her band did not appear. Chief Stahl has warned the keepers of the "joints" to close and Sheriff Cook has done the same; but, while the proprietors made a pretense of obedience, it was said business was still being done in many places. Dalton, Ark., Feb. G.-Five women, members of the W. C. T. U., last night attacked two "blind tigers" in this village. All the bottles of liquor were broken, contents of kegs were poured into the streets, and fixtures demolished. URGED TO SURRENDER. Piet ewet Makes a Passionate Appeal to His Brother, the Boer Commander. Bloemfontein, Feb. 6.—The Post today publishes a passionate appeal from Piet Dewet, chairman of the peace commission, to his brother Christian, to surrender. London, Feb. 6.—Gen. Kitchener, in a dispatch from Pretoria dated Tuesday, February 5, says: "Smith-Dorrien has occupied Lake Charisse. French is driving back the enemy to Amsterdam. Dewet's force is still north of Thaba N'Chu. His men damaged a train of transport wagons at Pompeii's Siding this morning." In a memorandum issued to the troops under his command, at Aldershot, Gen. Buller, referring to the British army in South Africa, criticises the lack of initiative and independence of action shown by subordinate commanders and refers to the independent, intelligent action on the part of the rank and file. As regards artillery, he says too much drill was introduced on the battlefield, in many cases the action of batteries being paralyzed by awaiting the orders of a brigade or division commander, many favorable opportunities being thereby missed. CONVICTED OF ARSON. Menominee Man Charged with Trying to Burn Home to Get Insurance. Menominee, Mich., Feb. 6.—[Special.] —Samuel Peterson was found guilty in the circuit court this morning of a charge of arson. The jury brought in the verdict after seven hours' deliberation. Peterson, it was alleged, made two attempts to burn his home—one on April 17, when the loss was partial, and one on April 18, when the building was completely destroyed. The insurance amounted to $1500 and was held by the Lion Fire Insurance company, which refused payment. Detectives were sent here and a strong chain of circumstantial evidence was welded. Mrs. Peterson made a confession which incriminated her husband. On several occasions Peterson acknowledged having set fire to the residence, but said he was forced to do so by his wife, who wanted the insurance money. Peterson is well known here and there was much interest in the case. A year ago Peterson was a robust man; today he is a physical wreck as the result of his arrest and the trial. PERPETUALLY ENJOINED. Scheme to Freeze Out Small Stockholders in Cereal Companies. Akron, O., Feb. 6.—A perpetual injunction was granted today against a proposed combination of the cereal companies. Two years ago the American Cereal company planned to increase its capital from $3,500,000 to $33,000,000. It was proposed to form a combination of 95 per cent. of the mills in the country. Mrs. Nellie L. Hower, a stockholder, secured a temporary injunction against the combination on the ground that it "was a scheme to freeze out small stockholders and a violation of the Ohio Antitrust laws." Today the injunction was made permanent. FORBIDDEN TO MARRY. Decree of Divorce in Action Against Actor MacDowell. New York, Feb. 6.—Justice Lawrence in the Supreme court today signed a decree of divorce in the suit brought by Mrs. Wilhelmina Marie MacDowell against William Melbourne MacDowell, the actor, and former husband of Fanny Davenport. The papers in the case were not made public and the name of the correspondent is not known. By the terms of the decree Mr. MacDowell is forbidden to marry again during the life of the plaintiff. To Frankfort for Safe Keep Georgetown, Ky., Feb. 6.—Judge Cantrill ordered Henry E. Youtsey and Caleb Powers convicted in connection with the assassination of Gov. Goebel, to be taken to the Franklin county jail at Frankfort for safe-keeping. Murderer Electrocuted Sing Sing, N. Y., Feb. 6.—Lorenzo Priori, who murdered Vincenzo Caruzo in New York city, December 11, 1898, was put to death in the electric chair today. ROYAL MATCHMAKING. Grand Duke Michael of Russia May Wed Victoria, Daughter of King Edward. London, Feb. 6.—Delicate negotiations are in progress between the courts of Russia and Great Britain looking to a marriage between the Grand Duke Michael, younger brother of the Czar and heir presumptive to the throne, and Princess Victoria, only unmarried daughter of King Edward VII. Politics rather than affection is said to be back of the projected match. Standing in the way of the marriage is the ironclad law of the Russian church PRINCESS VICTORIA. forbidding marriages between first cousins. The czarowitch, Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, is a son of the dowager empress of Russia, who is a sister of Queen Alexandra of Great Britain, the mother of Princess Victoria. Church Problem for Nicholas. A dispensation from the czar would be necessary for such a match, and it is extremely doubtful if Nicholas would grant such a dispensation, for he refused it when Michael wanted to marry another first cousin, the lovely Princess Helene, daughter of the Grand Duke Vladimir. The Czar's reason for refusing it was that he is not only Emperor of all the Russians, but spiritual head of the Russian church; that his brother, should he inherit the throne, as now seems probable, will also be head of the church, and it would be a grave scandal, besides setting a fearful example to his subjects, if the head of the church should transgress one of its most stringent rules. However, the Czar may be influenced in this matter by political considerations, for such an alliance as this would be a GRAND DUKE MICHAEL bond between the two countries that would go far toward ending their hereditary enmity. Alliance for Wilhelm's Heir. Another engagement expected soon is that of the crown prince of Germany and Princess Beatrice, youngest daughter of the late Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, and therefore niece of King Edward VII. They are both very young, the crown prince being only 18 and Beatrice only 16. This would be a marriage between first cousins once removed, for Princess Beatrice of Saxe-Coburg is first cousin of the German Emperor, whose son it is proposed shall wed her, her father and the Emperor's mother being brother and sister. But the rules of the Lutheran church are not so strict about matters of this sort as are those of the Russian. CHILD IS CRUSHED AT BARGAIN COUNTER. Women Struggling to Buy "Marked Down" Lace Curtains Cause a Girl's Death. New York, Feb. 6.—Ethel Webster, 6 years old, was killed in a bargain counter rush in a Fulton street (Brooklyn) department store. The place was so crowded that it was with some difficulty that the grief-stricken mother fought her way to the side of her dying child. Mrs. Webster with the little one stopped to look at some "marked down" lace curtains. The child was separated from the mother in the crush and crawled under the table upon which the bargains were displayed. The crowd of women in front pressed against the table and it overturned, crushing out the life of the child as it fell. The store clerks quickly righted the table and picked up the child. Mrs. Webster recognized the child and fought her way through. Excited women gave her push for push, and for a moment there was a panic. Several women fainted. The child was dead when Mrs. Webster reached her. TOOK FIRE AT SEA. Steamer Australia Beached on Gam- waters Inlet-Drew Rescued. San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 6.—The steamer Australia arrived here today from Tahiti, with the captain and twenty-eight sailors of the British ship Pyrenees aboard. The Pyrenees took fire at sea on November 16 while en route from Tacoma to Leith, and was beached December 2 on one of the Gambier group of islands. New Form of Capital Punishment. Springfield, Ill., Feb. 6.—A bill was introduced today in the lower house of the Illinois Legislature providing for capital punishment hereafter in the electric chair, instead of by hanging. Earl of Kimberley Ill. London, Feb. 6.—The Earl of Kimberley, Liberal leader in the House of Lords, is suffering from congestion of the lungs. PHILLIPS CALLED TO WASHINGTON. Attorney Summoned for a Conference About Indian Reservation Timber Cases. Oshkosh, Wis., Feb. 6.—[Special.]—United States District Attorney Phillips has gone to Washington, having been summoned by Attorney General Griggs for a conference about trespass cases on the Stockbridge and Keshena Indian reservations. The cases grow out of alleged depredations on the reservation in the matter of cutting and selling timber. There are fifteen criminal indictments pending against persons accused of cutting the timber and right civil actions against loggers who purchased it. It is said that $42,000 worth of timber is involved in the cases. The Indians claim their treaty gives them the right to cut timber and they say they acted upon advice of their attorneys. IN JAIL WHILE HIS FAMILY IS STARVING. Must Wait Weeks for a Hearing While Wife and Children Are in Distress. Green Bay, Wis., Feb. 6.—[Special.]— William Bashaw, a young farmer living in the town of Howe, Oconto county, is now confined in the Brown county jail to await trial on a criminal charge. Because of the law's delays and the inability of the defendant to furnish a small bond of $50, he is now in jail, while his young wife and three small children are suffering from want at home. On Thursday, January 24. Bashaw was arrested on a charge of having sold a horse on which he had previously given a chattel mortgage. He was not given in examination until last Saturday morning, nine days after his arrest. Then he was taken before Justice Dockery and because of a lack of evidence against him he was discharged. He was immediately rearrested, however, on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. The examination was adjourned until next Saturday. By that time Bashaw will have spent two weeks and two days in jail, all of that time while merely waiting for a hearing on a charge of which he may not be proven guilty. It is stated that Bashaw's family is in a pitiable condition and actually in distress for want of the bare necessities of life. MURDER. NOT SUICIDE. Chippewa Falls Authorities Investigating Death of Olaf Johnson. Chippewa Falls, Wis., Feb. 6.—[Special.]—The authorities are investigating the death of Olaf Johnson, supposed to have committed suicide, and are about satisfied that he was murdered. The coroner's jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death by poison administered by an unknown person. Lying on a robe in the rear room of Charles Barker's saloon, a bottle with a few drops of carbolic acid still remaining in it at its side, the dead body of Olaf Johnson was found. The man who last saw Johnson in life was Pat Shea, a boarder at the place. Johnson was a son of Hans Johnson, a respected and industrious man who lives several miles south of this city. When the corpse was discovered Barker at once notified the authorities. At the inquest Pat Shea told of getting up in the morning about 4 o'clock and going down into the bar-room to appease his thirst, and while there a knocking at the front door attracted his attention. He directed the applicant for admission to the side door, where he admitted him. The man was Olaf Johnson; Shea did not know him. He asked for a place to sleep for the remainder of the night and Shea put him in the little room in the rear of the saloon, where a robe was spread on the floor. Then Shea returned to his bed upstairs. In the morning Shea said to Will Brown, the bartender, that a man was sleeping in the room. Brown went to the door, opened it and saw the form of a man sprawled out on a robe, face down. Shea caught one glimpse of the body and then backed away. Brown entered the room and lifted the body so that he could see the man's features and found him dead. The coroner's inquest found the body lying in its original position. The acid bottle lacked a cork and had been almost entirely drained. Dr. Lindley testified that he had examined the remains. Death, he said, seemed to have come some hours before. The indications were that carbolic acid had caused death about four hours previous to the time of the examination. Hans Johnson, father of the man found dead, testified that he knew of but one reason why his son should be led to commit suicide. The young man had "jumped his board" at a Boyd hotel some time before, and it was for the purpose of settling with the hotel keeper that Olaf left home Monday afternoon. Harry Swift, a clerk in the Good Luck Drug Co.'s store, identified the bottle as being one bought at that store Monday evening. The man who bought the bottle of acid was not the man who was found dead. Johnson, the evidence showed, was a man of 22, short of stature and smooth-faced. His nose was large and his face was affected with a skin disease. The man who bought the acid seemed to be a Frenchman; he was shorter than Johnson and wore a heavy black mustache. He was very much unlike Johnson in appearance. DIDN'T ENTER CONVENT. Mcnominee Girl Had a Good Time in Green Bay Instead. Green Bay, Wis., Feb. 6.—[Special.]—Nellie Raymond of Menominee, a bright little miss of 18, was taken in custody by the police and was sent home. Nellie's mother is dead and her father sent her to this city about a week ago because she expressed a wish to enter the monastery of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. Nellie did not enter the monastery, however. Instead she stopped at several hotels, neglecting to pay her bill at each place. She borrowed articles at the American house and bought goods at stores on approval. The things were recovered by the police and returned. NEITHER WATER NOR LIGHT. Whitehall Suffers Loss by Dam Being Washed Out. Whitehall, Wis., Feb. 6.—The dam of James Larson's flouring mill went out last night, rendering useless, as well as his mill, the village pumping station and electric light plant just completed near the dam. WATCHING THE LEGISLATURE. Delegates of Farmers' Mutual Insurance Companies Meet at Madison. Madison, Wis., Feb. 6.—[Special.] There are 191 farmers' mutual insurance companies represented at their annual convention, held every two years during the legislative session to look after legislation. CAUCASUS GATES. The Dark and Awful Defile Between Europe and Asia. Eight miles from Vladikavkaz is the posting station of Balta; eleven miles farther is Lars, and five miles farther is the world-famous Gorge of Dariel, the "Caucasus Gates" of Pliny, the dark and awful defile between Europe and Asia, writes Henry Norman. Gradually, as we drive on, the hills rise and close in on us till at length they fall almost sheer to the edge of the rushing Terek and the narrow road, leaving only just room for these at the bottom of a rocky cleft, 5000 feet deep. The air strikes chill as a vault; not a ray of sunshine enters; the driver stoops low and lashes his horses; instinctively we lapse into silence. The geologist calls this gorge a "fault," for it is not a pass over the mountain chain, but a rent clear across it. To the imaginative traveler, however, it is a fit scene for the most wonderful highway in history. Seventy years ago it was a perilous road, for avalanches, or the sudden outbursts of pent-up glacial streams, swept it from end to end, but the Russians have spent twenty million dollars upon it and made it safe. In 1877 nearly all their troops and stores for carrying the war into Turkey and Asia came by this road, and it will be used again for the same purpose, although to a much less degree, for there is now direct railway connection from Moscow to Baku, at one end of the Trans-Caucasian railway, and therefore to Kars itself via Tiflis, and equally to Kars from Batum, at the other end, to which fortified port steamers would bring troops and supplies from Odessa and Novorossisk in the Black Sea. The gorges of the Yang-tsze may be as impressive—I have not seen them—but there is nothing in Europe which produces so profound an effect of dread upon the mind as this lonely, silent, gloomy, cold abysm of Dariel. You do not wonder that any people holding it could bar the way to the rest of the world—the only ground for surprise is that before the present road was constructed anybody ever got through it at all. It even said: "Thus far and no farther," to Rome herself, and marked the limit of her dominion.—Scribner's Magazine. MARKET REPORTS. Milwaukee, Feb. 6. 1901. EGG AND DAIRY PRODUCTS.

At 3342 Vernon avenue, Chicago, excellent furnished rooms for gentlemen. Those wishing to purchase property east of State street, will do well to call upon W. F. Hunter, 3240 State street, real estate broker. Chief Crazy Snake can claim that he is not treated as leniently as Mrs Nation, but Oklahoma isn't Kansas. While the police are in doubt as what hit Wong Dong, the Chinaman is satisfied that something is Dong Wong. The British troopers who were captured at Slijpkup may by lifelong practice be able to tell their grandchildren of the event. The obscure farmer near Ashland who has fallen heir to $3,000,000 will be obscure no longer; everybody will want to know him. The statement that the Kaiser is saving money for his children will arouse a fellow feeling among thousands of Americans who are in the same honorable business. The Chicago horse-breeder who declares that blondes are the result of a disease due to a microbe is probably fully prepared to give all Afro-Americans clear bills of health. The Nations which are engaged in the Kansas war might be induced to direct their smashing enthusiasm in the direction of the turbulent Indians on the border of Oklahoma. The W. C. T. U. medal for Mrs. Nation could be made a thing of utility by greviding it with a strong cord. A slung-shot is a handy bit of adornment in a saloon-smashing crusade. The proposition to investigate the reported hazing at Annapolis is a logical result of the findings at West Point. There should be no more of the cruel foolery at either of the government academies. The maximum sentences imposed in the cases of the Paterson miscreants who doped a girl to death with knock-out drops will have the effect of reducing the patronage of the stall saloons of the New Jersey cities. Dr. Rodermund writes that before escaping from quarantine he thoroughly disinfected himself. Here is an admission, therefore, from the doughty experimenter at the expense of the peace of the community that he was infected—notwithstanding his claim that small-pox is not an infectious disease. By the way, why is Rodermund unlike small-pox? Because you can't catch him. Two ocean steamers are to be built on the Great Lakes and taken to Montreal in two sections each, after the manner of transferring the revenue cutter Gresham during the progress of the war with Spain. This will not alarm coast builders unless some ingenious Yankee discovers a way in which steel steamers in sections can be buttoned and unbuttoned with neatness and dispatch. United States Consul Freeman, at Copenhagen, informs the State department that seven new steamers have been ordered for the fruit trade between the West Indies and the United States. Three of them will be built in England, three in Norway and one in Denmark, with a possibility of two more at Copenhagen. The United Fruit company has already over 20 steamers in the banana trade from the West Indies to the American ports. These vessels are registered as Norwegian, but it is understood that the bulk of capital invested in American. This company is also adding to its fleet two steel steamers for use in carrying fruit on the Great lakes. Dr. Rodermund of Appleton has succeeded in dispossessing the popular mind of a deeply-settled belief. This is what he set out to do, but in another direction. The erroneous assumption which he seems to have thrown down is that no man can commit an outrage so flagrant that lawyers will not be ready and eager, for money, to defend him and defeat the ends of justice. Americans who bought England's $28,000,000 issue of bonds a few months ago are complaining because an income tax of 5 per cent. is deducted from their interest money by the British government. The bondholders had not calculated upon anything of this sort when they bought, and are naturally disposed to dispute the justice of a tax on the incomes of non-residents. People who make foreign investments are apt to find out a great deal that they didn't know. The crusade against the great and growing evil of intemperance in France is taking some interesting forms. For instance, the colonel of the Seventieth regiment of the line has organized a sobriety competition among his men. The trial will last three months, and the companies will be classed according to the number of punishments inflicted for drunkenness. The most sober men will be rewarded with leave of absence for a certain number of days. The Bishop of Chalons has organized a vigorous temperance crusade in his diocese, and, among other things, has founded a total abstinence league for priests. Lord Macaulay, in his History of England, refers to the costliness of coronation ceremonies previous to the time of Victoria, and to the restriction of them to a few thousand favored spectators. But with her majesty there came a change. Says the historian: "On the day of the coronation of Queen Victoria there was a procession in which many deficiencies might be noted, but which was seen with interest and delight by half a million of her subjects, and which undoubtedly gave far greater pleasure and called forth far greater enthusiasm than the more costly display which was witnessed by a select circle within the abbey." The third French republic is at last in possession of its own postage stamps, with a series of new and beautiful designs. It appears that when the Second Empire fell the dies of the stamps of the republic of 1848 were used for the stamps issued between 1871 and 1875. In the latter year M. Buffet was minister, and, according to the present postmaster general, he thought Marshal MacMahon would play the part of Gen. Monk, and bring back the King, so he refused to allow any design which might be taken as an effigy of the Third Republic. He adopted the now familiar sign of two allegorical figures, Commerce and Peace, joining hands. This 1875 stamp, of which there are sixteen denominations, will be gradually replaced by the new designs of Luc Olivier Merson, Joseph Blanc and G. Mouchon. One of the oldest of the benevolent societies in this country is the Societe Francaise de Bienfaissance of Philadelphia, which was founded in 1793 and chartered January 29, 1835. The report for the years 1899-1900 shows that this society is in a most gratifying state of activity, supporting beds in the public hospitals and extending aid to the indigent. It has a membership of 113. Napoleon III. was numbered among the contributors to the society's fund, having given 2000 francs; and Joseph Bonaparte (under the name of Comte de Survilliers) gave $100 annually during his sojourn in this country. The government of the French republic has sent the organization many objects of art annually since 1890, and is credited with the amount of $1004. Not counting the national capital, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, there are forty-four towns and cities bearing the name of Washington. No doubt more communities would have thus honored the memory of the father of his country but for the prohibition of the postoffice department of more than one postoffice of the same name in a state. There is in nearly every state a county called Washington. But the most popular use of the name has come to light in the pension bureau. In certain parts of the country a rushing business is being done by attorneys in applications for pensions on behalf of colored soldiers who served during the Civil war. The attention of the bureau has been called to one regiment in which, according to the rolls, twenty-eight colored George Washington served. A single company shows a membership of thirteen George Washington by the applications filed. Sponge Gathering in Perilous Work. The gathering of sponges of the Tripolitan coast requires the payment of a good-sized license fee to the government. The proprietors send out their boats with crews of five to twenty men. It is impossible to use dredges in bringing them up, for that would tear the delicate organisms. The work is done by divers, who seldom have diving bells or suits such as are used in Europe and America. The diver goes down into the ocean, taking with him a flat piece of stone of a triangular shape with a hole drilled through one of the corners. A cord from the boat is attached to this stone, and he uses it to guide him. Upon reaching the growing sponges the diver tears them off the rocks or cuts them with a sharp knife, places them under his arms, and then pulls at the rope, which gives the signal to the men in the boat to haul him up. The work is said to be done not so well by means of a diving bell. Sponges obtained by dragging for them are torn and sell for low prices.—Newcastle (Eng.) Chronicle. The weight of merchandise annually imported by Great Britain has multiplied fivefold in forty years, averaging at present more than one ton yearly for each inhabitant. More than half the food supply of the United Kingdom is drawn from other countries at an annual cost of $25 per inhabitant. The average price of imported food is $60.83 per ton. The importation of metals and minerals has grown elevenfold in thirty years, and the export of hardware has doubled in value. Jacob Cundert of Hutchinson county, S. D., sold his farm of 1200 acres to Paul Laudman of Scotland for $36,000, or $30 per acre. TRADE MARK REGISTERED 1892. U.S.PATENT OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C.

Railroads are the great civilizers, for they give the settler as well as the manufacturer equal opportunity to work in undeveloped fields, thereby rapidly settling the country and bringing forth its undiscovered riches. Northern Wisconsin is rich in iron ore, clay, kaolin, marl, timber and fine farm lands. It has made many a settler independent and added to the wealth of manufacturers who have sought this territory. Opportunities have not passed, as there is still a generous supply of land which can be obtained at low figures and on easy terms. THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL RY. Was one of the first roads to penetrate the vast Northern Wisconsin Wilderness which stretches across the State from east to west. It, also, has developed from year to year and today offers the best of transportation facilities, enabling all to ship the products of that section to any market in the world.

AT YOUR DRUGGIST NEGROES' ONLY HOPE. Judson Titsworth Says it Lies in the Teachings of Booker Washington. A CLERGYMAN'S IMPRESSIONS. "It is astonishing how rapidly a Northerner will fall into the attitude of the Southerners in regard to the negroes," said Judson Titsworth this morning, during a conversation relating to the condition of the negroes in the South. "It requires but a surprisingly-short sojourn down there before one finds oneself calling them 'niggers' and looking upon them as the Southerners do, as mental and moral children, irresponsible and untrustworthy. While I was South this time I did not do any investigating of the subject, though it is one that interests me very much, but on a former trip I looked into the subject rather thoroughly. This time I was simply vegetating, in order to repair damages and mend my health, and I succeeded. As to the negroes, it was the fact I have just mentioned that impressed me the most, the ease with which the Northern mind, amid the same surroundings, arrives at the conclusions of the Southerner on this question. Tuskegee a Beacon of Hope. "I know that there are those who take rather a rosy view of the problem, but they have seen the happier side of it as presented at Tuskegee, where the better element, the more enlightened, are gathered, those who have caught the fire of a desire to advance, and it is burning on the altar of their lives. With such men as Booker Washington and his followers lies the hope of the race, the solution of the problem. But observation of negro life under its present average conditions, in the little villages and in the country, where there has been no cream-skimming process to separate the best, shows a deplorable condition. How many centuries the negro is behind his fellow-men in advancement and evolution cannot be calculated, and it is likely to be centuries more before he is elevated to a position by the side of his brethren. Not only has the negro to contend with himself and overcome his own tendencies and racial characteristics—and this is no small problem—but he has also to combat the fierce prejudice that exists against him everywhere. The only way that I see is the following out of Booker Washington's plan. First, one must look upon the negro as a child, morally and mentally, realizing that he has all to learn. Then begin at the beginning. Teach him to dig in the ground, to plant and sow and harvest with care and painstaking. Teach him to husband his resources, to live honestly and without debt, and to avoid the pitfall that besets so many, the vice of gambling, building up his moral nature bit by bit, by the slow process of evolution. All this will take patience, patience, patience, patience." "And in the meantime?" questioned the listener. "In the meantime," replied Mr. Titsworth, "we must remember that God's ways are always ways of patience, and time must be given for the perfecting of the process, slow though it be. "A book entitled 'Is the Negro a Beast' was brought to my attention while I was South. I did not read it, but I know that it is devoted to arguments to prove that the negro is nothing higher than an animal—that he has no soul. Of course the intense religious nature of the negro refutes their position entirely and renders their arguments of no effect. Nevertheless, that book is widely read throughout the South, and there are many who believe that it expresses the exact truth. Judge Lynch. "As to lynching, the attitude of the Southerner regarding it is just this: They do not justify it; theoretically they condemn it, but they say that it is inevitable, that there is no other way. They maintain that the negro is like a dog, that unless the punishment immediately follows the act of wrong-doing, his mind does not connect the two, and the punishment, if given later, loses its ethical effect. If the slow process of law were resorted to, and the criminal had to wait for weeks or months, for a trial, his simple mind would have long since forgotten for what he was being punished and so would his fellows, and the lesson would fail in its effect. So they take the offender and string him up to the nearest tree or burn him alive, and feel that they have given the race a lesson that it will remember for awhile. The Lust of Blood. "It seems to be true that there is no way of knowing in what individuals of the race crime will manifest itself. My brother-in-law, whom I have been visiting, told me of a family in a neighboring village, friends of his. They had a young negro for a house servant, a quiet, well-behaved, docile fellow, in whom they had never observed any vicious tendencies, and whom they trusted implicitly. One night he stole into the house and murdered every one of them as they were asleep in their beds. Then he took what little money there was in the house and fled. But it didn't seem to be so much for the sake of the money that the crime was committed as for the lust of blood, the desire to kill, to destroy, the same instinct that leads the wild animals to tear flesh asunder with their claws. "The industrial condition of the negroes looks almost hopeless to a Northern mind. They are poor, shiftless, lazy, dirty,—in fact, I don't believe they ever take a bath, though sometimes they may jump into the river. It costs but very little to live there, a dollar a week will support one of them, and if he happens to have a family, why, the family just shift for themselves. They don't need hardly anything to wear. The women work out as house-servants, but they don't sleep in the house, and will not work in the afternoon, going home after the midday meal, and leaving the mistress to get supper. They are as independent as the servant girls known to Northern housekeepers." Emotional Religion. "And their religion, Mr. Titsworth?" queried the listener, "how do you regard it? Is it a spiritual quality, or is it merely of the emotions?" "Purely emotional and physical," responded Mr. Titsworth, "and with a very large element of superstition. But as to that, we ourselves, with our Christianity, so-called, have not much of which to boast. In most cases religion is a physical emotion or an intellectual loyalty,—not a spiritual faith,—and as to superstition, witness the statue of St. Peter in Rome, whose toe has been kissed away. That statue was an image of Jupiter before it was a statue of St. Peter. It is merely a change of name, not of superstition. Witness likewise the shrines that exist throughout Europe, especially in J. H. THOMSON REV. JUDSON TITSWORTH. Latin Europe, where each village has its local saints and its local virgins, before whom the people bow, just as in pagan lands each community has its local deities. "But as to the negroes, there is a leaven working among them in the shape of the work done by Booker Washington, the schools at Hampton and the mission schools established by the churches, and though the leaven may seem small in comparison with the lump to be leavened, yet I believe that down there, somewhere, there is a grain of mustard seed." Some Stylish Hats. Red and green are combined artistically in a flat little toque for wear at any time. The facing is of red silk, shot with green while the crown is covered with loose green silk rose petals. At one side is a green rose, with a bow of rose pink taffeta, silk.—New York Mail and Express. Black velvet is the material for a stylish hat, with dome-shaped crown and brim rolling back from the face. Silverfox fur fills in the space at base of crown and back of the rolling brim. One side of the hat is held high off the face, with a cluster of black and gold roses next the hair. A pretty imported summer hat is of soft mauve straw braid and alternate folds of mauve liberty silk. The double brim turns up slightly at the edges. A band of mauve velvet encircles the crown, at one side of which stands a big bow of the same, run through a dull gold buckle. A picture of pink velvet is draped on both crown and brim, and also the facing of the brim is draped. On top of the crown the drapery is caught through a cut-steel buckle. Underneath the brim next the hair is a cluster of pink roses and green leaves. Crown and brim are touched with white Irish point lace, laid over the velvet. While some women are yet wearing fur hats, others appear in the ruffled tulle "mushrooms" that promise to be so fashionable in the spring. These new hats are as flat as a hat can possibly be. Chiffon, tulle, liberty silk and like materials, together with lace, compose them. Tiny ruffles cover the frame, and a few flowers lift the hat from the hair at one side. Another new model for spring and summer wear is a wide-brimmed, medium-crowned hat entirely covered with pale blue silk. Around the crown are soft folds of white chiffon, while over this is draped a scarf of yellowish lace. On the left side of the brim, right over this chiffon and lace, are laid two white quills. They do not incline in the least angle, but are placed in a flat position. The effect is novel and rather good. ZOO Wells Street, Bet. 6th and 7th. 1 TO 11 P. M. The Big New Show in Its Entirety.

MILWAUKEE, WIS The Chicago Tribune is a newspaper for bright and intelligent people. It is made up to attract people who think. Is not neutral or colorless, constantly trimming in an endeavor to please both sides, but it is independent in the best sense of the word. It has pronounced opinions and is fearless in expressing then, but it is always fair to its opponents. Matters of national or vital public interest get more space in THE TRIBUNE than in any other paper in the West. For these reasons it is the newspaper you should read during the forthcoming political campaign. THE TRIBUNE'S financial columns never mislead the public. Its facilities for gathering news, both local and foreign, are far superior to those of any other newspaper in the West. It presents the news in as fair a way as possible, and lets its readers form their opinions. While it publishes the most comprehensive articles on all news features, if you are busy the "Summary of THE DAILY TRIBUNE" published daily on the first page gives you briefly all the news of the day within one column. Its sporting news is always the best, and its Sunday Pink Sporting Section is better than any sporting paper in the country. It is the "cleanest" daily printed in the West. SOUTH AMERICAN CATTLE. Their Growers Threaten Our Supremacy as Beef Purveyors to the World. TEXAS COWBOY TEXAS METHOD OF EGGING A STEER THE GAUCHOS METHOD SOUTH AMERICAN GAUCHO There are those who fear that South America is destined to supersede the United States as the great provider of beef for the world. Each year South America increases in importance as rival to the United States as a producer of beef. There are now in the Argentine, Paraguay and Uruguay fully 30,000,000 cattle; in the United States 44,000,000. While the cattle ranges of the United States are becoming more and more restricted each year, there are in the three South American countries named vast regions suitable for cattle raising which have not as yet been utilized. In Texas now the cattle no longer roam over vast ranges, but are practically kept in pastures, the grazing grounds being inclosed in miles upon miles of wire fences. The old-time cowboy, too, has become largely a "fence rider," patrolling the outside of the inclosures to see that the fences are not broken down and that the cattle are not lost, strayed or stolen. Many cowboys are said to have gone to South America, where they have taken up their old free life alongside of the native gauchos on the wind-swept pannas. In Paraguay a large region called the Chaco has just been opened up to stock raising. It lies in the northwest corner of Paraguay, between the Paraguay river, a navigable stream, the Pilcomayo river and the Bolivian boundary. The climate is healthful, and though it is warm there in summer, it is never as hot as it was in New York last summer. The prairies are clothed with a variety of good grasses, and the Chaco lands are acknowledged to be the best fattening grounds in all Paraguay. Good land can be bought in the Chaco for $1,000 a league, and one league will support 1,000 cattle, and two herds of 1,000 each can be fattened on it in a year. All the expenses of raising cattle there are ridiculously small compared with the expense in the United States. A man can put steers on the range in Paraguay, all expenses paid, at a cost of $8.50 a head, and these he can sell when fattened for $12.50 a head. Experienced cattle men in the Chaco, have cleared as much as $8,000 the first year on an expenditure of $10,500. They put in $1,000 for land, $8,500 for cattle, and $1,000 for labor and other expenses. Living and labor in Paraguay cost about one-eighth as much as they do in the United States. The gauchos are paid $3 a month in the Chaco. In the United States the cowboy's wages used to be $30 a month. The gaucho's food, which is supplied to him, costs about $3 a month. Cowboys are furnished with food costing $10 a month. The cattle of northern Paraguay are similar to the Texas cattle, being of fully as good stock and much tamer and more easily managed. Though there are now in northern Paraguay only enough cattle for a small beef industry, their numbers are rapidly increasing, and in three or four years this region bids fair to be the center of a great beef industry. As yet these South American regions have not the facilities for transportation which the cattle districts of the United States possess, but it is only a question of time when they will have them, and then can the United States hold its own in the export of beef? THE CASTLE WINDSOR CASTLE. OFFICIAL RESIDENCE OF THE LATE QUEEN. WINDSOR CASTLE. The Favorite Seat of the Sovereigns of Great Britain. Windsor Castle, one of the homes of the late Queen Victoria and which descends to her son and successor, Edward VII., has for many years been the favorite seat of the sovereigns of Great Britain and is one of the largest and most magnificent royal palaces on earth. The original estate of Windsor belonged to the monks of Westminster and was purchased from them by William the Conqueror, who erected a castle upon it. This castle was later torn down and a new one was erected by King Edward III. Various additions WINDSOR CASTLE, OFFICIAL were made to this, the final touches being given under Queen Victoria, who expended $4,500,000 in its embellishment and enlargement. The interior of the castle is richly and profusely decorated and filled with works of painters, sculptors and other artists, whose name is world-wide. The Albert chapel the Queen had fitted up as a memorial to the late Prince Consort. In another chapel—St. George's—rest the remains of seven of England's Kings, among them Henry VIII. and William IV., the uncle and predecessor of Queen Victoria. In early times the Saxon Kings resided on the site of the present castle. A true actor never overacts his part. A Female Electrician. Mrs. Ayrton, who is well known for her researches in the field of electricity, had the honor the other evening of dining with the 360 members and guests of the Institution of Electrical Engineers at the Hotel Cecil, in London. Her presence brought up the novel question how she should be recognized by the speakers at the dinner. The earlier speakers said, "My lords, lady, and gentlemen," which sounded odd. The Lord Chief Justice improved on this with "My lords, Mrs. Ayrton, and gentlemen," while Sir John Wolfe Barry struck out the formula, "My lords, madam, and gentlemen." Mrs. Ayrton some time ago justified her election to membership by a thoroughly scientific es- ESIDENCE OF THE LATE QUEEN. say, "On the Hissing of the Electric Arc," a subject which she still further investigated, and on which she read a paper, in completion of her inquiry, at the recent meeting of the institution in Paris.

A GORGEOUS PAGEANT. Every Head Bared as the aan Car- oo obsequies of 80 Mighty ane re a monarch, all that is mortal of Queen Victoria has been borne through the streets of the capital and started towards the ancient fortress palace of the sov- ereigns of England. ‘The solemn mig- nificence of yesterday’s opening phase of these last rites were duly maintained. Perhaps the stately grandeur of today’s sorrowful pageant through the swarming streets of Torsion, with hundreds of thou- sands of mourners forming a black bor- der to the route, will never be surpassed. ‘There was in Victoria’s funeral pro- cession absence of that black ceremonial generally connected with the final prog- ress to the Ve ‘The coffin was drawn by cream-colored horses. “The pall was white and the uniforms of the troops and the gold trappings of the foreign sover- | eigns, princes and representatives form- | ing 2 glittering medley, gave brilliant coi- oring to the scene. The chief mourner himself, with his field marshal’s uniform, even though this was partially hidden by his overcoat, surrounded by his corps, helped to leaven the symbols of mourn- ing marking the route. Distinguished Mourners. Never in English history has a sover- eign been borne to the grave attended by so many distinguished mourners. The gathering of crowned heads surpassed those who rode in the jubilee procession. All the great officers of state participated. The display of the naval and ay forces reached the great total of 35, men. The firing of minute guns and the tolling of bells at a quarter past 11 an- nounced to the countless multitudes who had been crowding London’s muddy streets since daylight that the funeral procession with the body of Queen Vic- toria had begun its passage through the carats se e scene at Victoria station from ear- ty morning was brilliant and impressive. Yor today’s ceremony the station was transformed into an immense reception | hall. All trains were stopped before 9 and the long platform was covered with purple cloth. On another platform, fac- | ing that at which the Queen’s train was to arrive, guards of honor composed of bluejackets and grenadier guards were drawn up. The broad roadway separat- ing the two was swept clean and sanded. and a number of little purple-covered | platforms, from which members of the royal party were expected to mount their horses, were placed at intervals and at the side and center. . At 10 o'clock an army of grooms with the horses arrived, and thenceforward | distinguished British naval and military officers and foreign royalties, in dazzling uniforms came in quick succession. The | lord chamberlain and his officials, bare- headed, with their white wands of office, received the most distinguished person- ages and conducted them to a little pavil- ion, erected on the platform. | Resembled a Levee. ‘The whoie station by that time resem-| bled the scene at a levee. The com- | mander-in-ei:ief of the forces, Field Mar- shal Earl Roberts, on.a beautiful spirited | brown mare, carrying his field marshal’s baton, at this juncture trotted into the station and became the center of inter- est. He was soon followed by Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk, and wany of the most distinguished British officers. Then came the carriages for the Queen and the princesses. They were the state carriages used on the oc- | easion of the Queen's jubilee, with beau- | tiful, gold-mounted harnesses and trap- pings. The horses were ridden by postilions in scarlet jackets, with only a narrow band of crape on their arms, as_ a mark of the great change. The -car- riages were closed. | With the exception that rubber tires were on the wheels, the gun carriage was as if in usual use. the place for the coffin to rest was over the gun. It was then nearly 11 o'clock when amid eries of “The King of Portugal's horse,” the “Grand Duke of Hesse’s horse,” as the princes mounted. the train steamed iato the station a minute ahead of time. All heads were uncovered as the sa- toon carriage, bearing the Queen’s re- mains stopped exactly opposite the gun carriage and King Edward, Queen eilex- andra, el ae William and others alighted. ‘hen the bearer party ad- vanced to the saloon carriage and with his hand at the salute and standing a little in advanced of the others, King Edward watched the painfully slow re- moval of the coffin to the gun carriage. It was finally accomplished and the pall and the regalia of the British crown were placed on the coflin. Ani Eyes on the Gun Carriage. Following the carriages and preceded by an officer came an object at which every officer in the animated throng in- stinctively came to the salute and every head was bared. It was the little khaki-colored gun_car- riage which was to carry Queen Victo- ria’s remains from Victoria to Padding- ton station, The eight Hanoverian eream-colored horses, which also drew the late Queen on the occasion of the jubilee, were used today. The gold har- nesses, scarlet-coated postilions and scar- let and gold-covered grooms who held each of the horses by the bridle, were all the same. Only the little gun carriage | instead of glittering glass and gold coach marked the change. Spectators Struggle. | The people fought for hours for a | glimpse of the coffin and the King and Others following it. ‘Chey saw a long pre- cession of soldiers. a passing show of dazzling regalia, with a handred royalties | crowding after and then dispersed, while | all the church chimes of the city were ringing and muffled dirges were played. Europe has seen grander reyal funerais than the Queen's and has a more gor- geous spectacle in the celebration of her sixty years of reign, but no episode ai the Victorian era will live so deeply im- pressed on the memories of those who witnessed it or participated in the cere- monies. The day was somber, wet and chilly | as are most of London’s winter days. The cloudy sky added to the gloom of the whole city. A Number of Accidents. There were quite a number of acci-| dents during the crushes in London. In-| dividual hospitals admitted at least thir- | ty cases. Several persons were badly hurt through falling from elevated places. } ene tat avd = falling at 9:30 oer when the royal mourners left the yachts for the Clar- ence yard, where the Alberta had Jain all night Jong, with the body of the Queen watched by a marine guard. Admiral Sir Charles Sothan, the flaz officers and the captains of all ships in the harbor with other naval officers at tended the disembarkation of the body, which at 8:45 was carried off the yacht. The landing place and the approaches to the station were heavily draped. Enormous crowds had gathered. ‘The royal train left Gosport at 8:53. ‘ Guard was mounted on the warships and minute guns were fired as the cof- fin, borne by bluejackets, was transferred to the waiting saloon carriage. Short Service on the Yacht. ‘The scene was pathetic and imposing. The King. accompanied by Queen Alex- andra and some princesses, who passed the night on board the royal yacht Vic- toria and Albert, proceeded to the royal yacht Alberta in a steam launch. King Edward boarded the yacht at 8:45, five minutes after Emperor William had steamed alongside the Alberta from the Hohenzollern. There was a short service on the yacht before the body was removed, the Duke of Connaught, the Crown Prince of Ger- many, Prince Arthur of Connaught, Prince Henry of Prussia, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Princess Henry of Battenberg being present. The only mourning visible was in the dresses of the princesses. The firing of minute guns marked the passage of the coffin to the draped railroad station, to which it was borne shoulder high by petty of- ficers of the royal yachts, preveded by a clergyman. _ Immediately behind the coffin were tar- tied the crown, globe, standard and a few choice wreaths. iXing Edward, Emperor William, the Duke of Connaught and the crown prince followed the remains, and then came the ladies of the royal family and the ad- mirals. ° The progress of this mournful proces- sion was marked by the firing of the guns and the strains of the funeral march. AT VICTORIA STATION. Great Crowds Gather to Geta Glimpse of the Gun Carriage. London, Feb. 2.—By 10:30 o'clock the Victoria station presented a most animat- ed appearance, sovereigns, princes, the headquarters staff, field marshals and state officials, in multi-colored uniforms, having gathered there to await the ar- rival of the funeral train. At 11 o’clock the royal train was seen slowly approaching the Victoria station. All heads were immediately bared and in a few moments the saloon carriage bear- ing the remains of her majesty reached the platform. ‘The train conveying the King and Queen, Emperor William and other royalties was immediately behind that bearing the Queen’s body. Bs The King and Queen, Emperor Wil- liam and the princes and other repre- sentatives alighted upon the arrival of the train at the Victoria station and were conducted to en where the Kings of Portugal, Greece and Belgium and other Datapised spereane ess had _ai- ready assembled. e@ brilliant gather- ing was received by the King and Queen with the briefest delay. The coffin was reyerently removed by an officer and twelve grenadiers and deposited on the gun carriage. The pall, with the crown on a cushion, the regalia and the insig- nia of the garter was placed thereon, and the procession started. In_the procession were six carsegee the first and second carrying Queen Alex- andra, the Duchess of Fife fon penicoss royal), Princess Victoria and Princess Charles of Denmark and the daughters of Queen Victoria and the King of the Belgians. ‘The soldiers representing the German army, non-commissioned officers and men and the escort brought up the rear. Several People Fainted. There was an ugly crush in the crowd at the Marble arch, when the gates were unexpectedly closed after the procession had passed. Several persons fainted. The procession moved in accordance with the official programme as cabled in these dispatches January 31. At 11:35 a. m., as the first sterins of Chopin’s funeral march echoed through the streets, every head within hearing distance Was bared. As the gun carriage emerged from the station during a brief and impressive pause in the procession, all eyes were centered upon the pall, which covered the coffin. The silence was almost painful. Heads were bent low and the gun carriage slowly moved across the station yard, and took up its place in the procession. Immediately behind it rode the Kiar in a field marshal’s uniform, Emperor Wil- liam, also attired in a British field mar- shal’s uniform, and the Duke of Con- nanght, in a general's uniform, rode upon either side of the King. Witnessed by Enormous Crowds. The uniforms of all three were partly hidden by their overcoats, which ‘ere made necessary by the chilliness of the weather. The King of the Hellenes and the King of Portugal rode immediatel after King Edward's and Emperor Wil- liam’s suites. Emperor Willian rode with a white horse. Enormous crowds witnessed the passage of the cortege be- fore Buckingham palace, the London house of the dead Queen. High officials were admitted within the railing, while outside stood the weather-worn pension- ers of Chelsea, paying their last tribute. THE PROCESSION. Thousands of Soldiers and Sailors Es- cort Official Mourners. London, Feb. 2.—The procession, apart from the gun carriage bearing the coffin, and the royal family and official mourners about it, was noteworthy. Parliament, the judiciary and the com- mercial bodies were not represented. Royalty, the army and navy monopolized the pageant. Three thousand soldiers and sailors, picked companies represent- ing all branches of the service, cavalry, artillery, infantry, yeomanry, militia vol- unteers and colonials formed the advance escort. They marched slowly and without music. Most of the uniforms were coy- ered with dark overcoats and the stand- ards were draped with black, the officers wearing bands of crepe on their sleeves. The infantry marched in columns of four, with rifles reversed. They were half an hour in passing. Then came Field Marshal Earl Roberts and his staff, and, after them, four massed bands playing funeral marches. Three hundred musicians announced the coming of the body of the Queen. ‘There was a long array of court officials. under the leadership of the Duke of Nor- folk (the earl marshal) all attired quaintly and brilliantly, bearing maces or wands, most of them elderly men who for years had served the royal lady for whom they were performing the last offices. | Draping of the Gun Carriage. - Most of the spectators expected an ‘imposing catafalque and the coffin was ‘almost past before they recognized its presence by removing their hats. It was a pathetically small oblong block con- cealed beneath a rich pall of white satin, on the corners of which seme’ the royal arms. Across the pall the royal standard was draped, and a large crown of gold, encrusted with jewels, rested at the head of the coffin, which was at the end of the gun carriage, just over the gun. On the foot of the coffin were two smaller crowns with a gold jeweled scep- ter lying between them. The eight horses which drew the gun carriage were almost concealed ber *ath their rich har- nesses. A large bow of purple was at; tached to the coffin. This was the only. symbol of mourning. Around the coffin walked the stalwart bearers, non-commissioned officers of thei guards and household cavairy, and on: either side were the Queen's equerries, lJords-in-waiting and physicians. All the uniforms were covered with long, dark cloaks. The King’s Familiar Figure. sameway after the company about the coffin three royal mourners rode abreast. King Edward VII. was the central figure of the three, but no less ostentatious geremnaee was seen in the procession. black chapeau, with a plume of white feathers, was on his head, and a long black cloak was buttoned ‘around him and hung down over the big, black horse which he was riding. The King’s familiar face seemed grave and careworn. He looked straight ahead, apparently at the gun carriage on which was the body of the sovereign whose glory and re- sponsibilities he had inherited. He did not see, or gave no sign of seeing, the long ranks of soldiers hedging back the populace about him—the windows crowded with black-bonneted women, the multitudes of uncovered heads, the pur- ple draperies and the general wreaths ev- erywhere. He passed like a man alone, who neither knew or thought of the world about him, and the sentiment his pres- ence inspired was only sympathy and pity. The people seemed to see in the King one of themselves and the deep murmurs which arose here and there carried a note of sorrow and love al- ‘most as deep as the expressions which greeted the passage of the coffin of their Queen. No Mistaking the Kaiser. Beside King Edward rode Emperor Williais, his nephew and neighbor. The unique, commanding figure of the Ger- man Emperor could not for a moment be mistaken. He looked every inch a soldier and the commander of men. His ‘imperial majesty glanced right and left as he rode and his hand was frequently ‘raised to the red and white feathers hanging over his hat, as he responded to salutes. Emperor William also wore a black cloak over his new British field marshal’s uniform, and the splendid white charger beneath him pranced up and down, giving his majesty an_oppor- tunity to display fine horsemanship. At the junction of the Mall and the Marlborough house the cortege was viewed by enormous throngs, cadets from Sandhurst and Woolwich and_ members of the House of Lords and House of Commons ocgupied a special stand. At the bottom of Piccadilly the boys of the training ship Britannia were gathered. The solemn, stately progress of the cortege through the yer was rendered more impressive by the minute guns of the near-by battery. CHARGES OF TREASON. Delegate Wilcox of Hawali Is Ac- cused of Offering Aid to the Filipinos. Washington, D. C., Feb. 2.—A petition containing charges was submitted to the House committee on elections No. 1 against Robert W- Wilcox, the Hawaiian delegate in the House of Representatives. The charges are made in writing by George D. Gear of Hawaii, who submit- ted letters purporting to be copies of let- ters written by Wilcox to Filipino off- cials. The alleged letters are of a highly-sen- sational character. One said to have been written by Wilcox is dated Hono- lulu, January 31, 1899, and addressed to Dr. J. Losada, Capt. Marti Burgos, and Senor J. Luna, and introduced to them “a friend of mine who is an able man to help you in your cause.” Among other things the letter says: Mr. ——— will be a useful ally to fight for the cause of the aU pees One thing is sure, that you could resist against any army of Invyasion—you have/a population of 12,000,000 and already a dis- ciplined army of 30,000, well equipped with modern arms.

Aguinaido I am ready ‘to obey orders to go to your country and ‘fight for the independence of your people ‘and country at any moment. - Mr. Wilcox declined to make any ex- tended answer to the charges filed by Mr. Gear. He admits that he wrote a letter to Dr. Losada, Capt. Burgos and Senor Luna, introducing C. Caesar More- no, an Italian of this city, whom he had known while the latter was in Hawaii in the ’80s. It is also alleged “that Wilcox, in s speeches prior to the election, made use of the strongest kind of anti-American utterances for the purpose of carrying tho election"? PLAYERS ORGANIZE.

Much Trouble Caused by Pigs Wandering Away from Their Own Quiet Sties. r Racine, Wis., Feb. 6.—[Special.]—In August last the pigs of Gustave Hedke of Mt. Pleasant took a summer vacation and camped upon the land of Peter M. Anderson, a neighbor, and the neighbors being at “outs” the matter resulted in a lawsuit. An attorney was called who proposed to both parties that the matter of damages be left to Mr. Lingsweiler of Western Union Junction. This was agreed to, and Mr. Lingsweiler assessed the damages which Mr. Hedke should pay to Mr, Anderson at $3, which Mr. Hedke promised to pay, but after con- sulting with his family concluded to leave the matter to the courts. Mr. An- derson then instituted a suit before Jus- tice John 'T. Lee of Mt. Pleasant. The case resulted in a decision for Mr. An- derson, the justice giving judgment for the sum of $2.25 against Mr. Hedke. Mr. Hedke appealed the case to the mu- nicipal court and the matter was brought to trial before Judge Flett. Judge Flett rendered a very clear and pointed opin- ion. But the case will go to the Supreme court on appeal for final adjudication, for Mr. Hedke feels that the decision does him an injustice. , 7 SHARE WITH EMPLOYES.

Tradition says “‘woman must suf- ter,” and young women are so taught. There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in this. If a young woman suffers severely she needs treatment, and her mother should sce that she gets it.

Are Londoners to live on tubes? That is to say, is our great metropolis to have a more substantial foundation than underground railways of one kind or another? Where are people, who do not care to vibrate, going to find peace? Already those who live over the existing electric railway under Oxford street find that their house rooms are in a state of constant oscillation, not unlike that produced by a feeble earthquake, and as the process of extension proceeds there will be few thoroughfares of any importance which are not subject to the tremor—a malady that turns out to be a nerve irritant few people can endure. The worst of the outlook is that it is impossible to anticipate the direction which new lines will follow, so that a house taken upon a long lease may become subject to tube vibration. The effect of this new terror is sure to tell upon the nerves of Londoners, and some description of tube affection will be among the maladies of the future—London Daily Telegraph, PRESIDENT OF PRESIDENTS. A Distinguished Lady, Indeed, Is Mrs. Mary E. Poole, of Whiting, Ind. Whiting, Ind., Feb. 4, 1901.—(Special.)—The presidents of the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic have an association composed exclusively of the presidents of the different State associations. This Presidents' Association chooses a president, and to this very high and distinguished position Mrs. Mary E. Poole of this place has been elected. Mrs. Poole is thoroughly deserving of this great honor. Her devotion to the interests of the association is very marked, and her experience with the old soldiers of the G. A. R. is wide. Mrs. Poole is never slow to take advantage of anything that may benefit the veterans, and her zeal has resulted in much that is good to these grand old men. She writes of her experiences: "Honor to whom honor is due, and having seen the numerous cures effected through the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills, I gladly endorse them as being particularly effective to cure that dreaded disease of so many of our old soldiers, Bright's Disease, and Kidney Disorders of different kinds. Kidney Disease soon poisons the entire system, and as a result the vital organs are attacked, and I have found that no remedy so surely, completely and quickly finds the weak spot and heals it as Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I have used them myself in slight attacks of billiousness and indigestion, and usually find that from three to four pills do the work." Such evidence from a lady of so much distinction and experience should convince any sufferer from Kidney Trouble that Dodd's Kidney Pills is the remedy that never fails. 50c a box, six boxes for $2.50.

Keats, one of the earliest settlers of Atchison county, Kas., is dead. In the '50s Mr. Keats was a freighter across the plains. Once he walked from Salt Lake City to Atchison in thirty-eight days. An Atchison man once told the writer that Keats boasted the ownership of a dog that had walked all the way from the Missouri river to Sacramento, Cal., and that no other dog had ever made this trip on foot. It was a fact well known among plainsmen that dogs could not stand a trip across the plains and the mountains. In the earlier stages they chased rabbits and coyotes until they wore themselves out. Keats probably had a dog that kept itself under the wagon and attended strictly to business. —Kansas City (Mo.) Journal. Deafness Cannot be Cured Deafness cannot be cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Germany also gives work to more miners than this country employs, and yet this country turns out a great deal more iron and coal than either of those kingdoms. The reason why we obtain a far greater product with a much smaller mining force is that we use a great deal of improved mining machinery; so that though we pay the highest wages the cost of mining is less in this country than in most European lands.—New York Sun. A Remedy for the Grippe Physicians recommend KEMP'S BALSAM as a remedy for patients afflicted with the grip, as it is especially adapted for the throat and lungs. Do not wait for the first symptoms of the disease, but get a bottle to-day and keep it on hand for use the moment it is needed. If neglected the grip has a tendency to bring on pneumonia. KEMP'S BALSAM prevents this by keeping the cough loose and the lungs free from inflammation. All druggists sell KEMP'S BALSAM at 25c and 50c.

The Washington correspondent of the New York World says there is a fishing club with many congressional members that has a clubhouse on the Potomac. Recently a new house committee took hold. After its first meeting these rules were posted: 1. If any member of this club drinks more than five cocktails before breakfast he shall be warned. 2. If, after being warned, any member of this club drinks more than five cocktails before breakfast he shall be warned again. 3. If, after being warned for the second time, any member of this club drinks more than five cocktails before breakfast, he shall be warned for the third and last time. 4. If, after being warned for the third and last time, any member of this club drinks more than five cocktails before breakfast he shall be considered hopeless and left to his own devices. "If an empty barrel weighs ten pounds, what can you fill it with to make it weigh seven pounds?" asked Senator Depew of Senator Spooner. "Have to give it up," replied Mr. Spooner. "Fill it full of holes," answered Mr. Depew, and they both laughed. The best evidence of Senator Vest's recuperation is the fact that he is again telling stories. Recently, in the cloakroom, one of Mr. Vest's colleagues gave an exhibition of absent-mindedness, which recalled to the Missouri senator an incident which happened in his state, says the Washington Post. "I was at a mass meeting once upon a time," said Mr. Vest, "when we discussed a resolution of some kind or other for several hours. Finally one of the delegates began a speech which wandered all over creation. Someone interrupted him with the remark that he ought to confine his remarks to the resolution. " 'Yes,' said Judge Phillips, who was presiding, 'the gentieman must speak to the resolution.' " 'Let us have the resolution read,' suggested someone in the meeting. gested someone in the meeting. "Judge Philips stooped down and whispered to the absent-minded secretary, 'Read the resolution.' he said. "H'm?' queried the secretary, waking up. 'What resolution?" "The one we have been discussing for several hours,' replied Judge Phillips. "The resolution was hunted for high and low, but could not be found. On the secretary's desk there was a bit of paper which looked as if it had been nibbled by a mouse. It was all that remained of the resolution. The absent-minded secretary had eaten the rest." Ex-Czar Thomas B. Reed strolled out of the Senate restaurant the other day smoking a cigar. He is much thinner than when he was in Washington, and his clothes hang on him loosely. "What have you been doing to take off that flesh?" asked a friend. "Nothing," replied Mr. Reed; "nothing. It just went." "Seems familiar around here, I suppose?" the friend went on. "Yes," said Reed, "especially in the Senate restaurant." Without waiting to fathom this utterance, another friend put in: "Not mixing in politics any now?" "Nop; not mixing. Employed six days a week in making money. Prosaic occupation. Horrible stuff. And yet," mused Mr. Reed, as he started for the Supreme court, "most of these rich men have it." "Doc" A. W. Smith of Adrian, Mich., was in Washington recently, trying to discover from the Michigan senators whether or not he will be allowed to keep his place as postmaster of Adrian for the next four years. Everybody calls Mr. Smith "Doc." Smith explains his title by saying: "I suppose nearly everybody who calls me 'Doc' thinks I studied medicine. Now, I got my title in a unique way. I bought a farm near Adrian once. The biggest crop I could raise for years was burdocks. The neighbors, in a spirit of fun, began to call my place 'Smith's dock farm.' From that it was an easy change to 'Dock Smith's farm,' and now I am 'Doc' Smith to everybody. Better than a diploma, don't you think?" Mr. Smits is a big, smooth-shaven man, who wears a long coat and a white tie. His Michigan friends say that once when he was in Detroit he went into a store to buy a hat. He chose a silk tile and asked how much it was. "Eight dollars," said the hatter, "but we make a discount to your profession. To you the hat will be $6." Smith put the hat on again, looked in the glass for a moment and said: "Well, as you make a reduction for my profession I'll take the hat, and if the congregation don't like it they can go to hell!" Last winter two little children were standing in front of the main entrance to the Senate chamber, when Senator Chandler and a friend came through the door. One of them, a little girl of 11, burning with curiosity, stepped up to them and asked: "Mister, how much does it cost to go in there?" "You had better ask that gentleman coming up the corridor," said the senator from New Hampshire, pointing to Senator Clark of Montana, who was leisurely approaching the entrance. GREASE USED AT LAUNCHINGS Big Cost of Getting a Battleship Into the Water. "The mere act of getting a war vessel into the water costs a lot of money, time and trouble," said an engineer, speaking of the recent launching of several new torpedo-boats. "I spent a year and a half in the designing room of the Cramps' yards," he continued, "and happen to know what I am talking about. Of course, the launching of a little torpedo-boat is comparatively easy, and the cost is not over a few hundred dollars, including flowers and souvenirs and even the bottle of champagne used in the christening. But when it comes to a big armored cruiser or a first-class battleship it is a horse of a different color, and the actual expense seldom falls below $4000 or $5000. I've known it to go as high as $8000. "The building of the ways for the ship to slide down over is the main item, and then comes the greasing. Every inch of timber over which the vessel slides must be covered with a lubricant. Different firms use different substances, but soap and tallow form the main ingredients of them all. At the Cramps' we used a layer of beef tallow and a layer of soft soap, and taken altogether between one and one and a half tons of the stuff was required to put a move on the average battleship. The tallow is spread on first, to the depth of about three fingers, and the workmen use big flat trowels to make the surface as smooth as possible. Then they pour over the soft soap, which is just thick enough to run, or about the consistency of tar. "As a general thing the double coating answers the purpose admirably, and the ship glides into the water as if it was sailing on air. If it sticks, as has happened in a few cases, it is likely to spring some of its plates, and accidents of that kind are so costly that nothing is spared to avert them."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Mr. Le Jecks—"Well, Miss Coldcash, I suppose you received a good many birthday cards?" Miss Coldcash (sweetly)—"Oh, yes; and there was one particularly dainty and artistic. I am sure it came from you." Mr. Le Jecks (delighted)—"What makes you think so?" Miss Coldcash—"Because I sent it to you on your last birthday."—Tit-Bits. EPIDEMIC OF GRIP WORST EVER KNOWN GRIP BACILLUS EVERYWHERE-IN THE AIR WE BREATHE, IN THE WATER WE DRINK, IN THE FOOD WE EAT. Peruna not only cures the grip, but prevents it. Taken in time thousands of lives will be saved in this present epidemic. Every family should take the precaution to secure a supply of Peruna at once, for the retail and wholesale stock of the remedy may be exhausted by the enormous demand for it. It is wisdom to have Peruna in the house even before the grip attacks the household. It has been ascertained by a reporter that the following people of national reputation have given public indorsement and testimonials to Peruna as a remedy for la grippe: Congressman Howard of Alabama says: "I have taken Peruna for the grip and recommend it as an excellent remedy to all fellow-sufferers." Congressman White of North Carolina says: "I find Peruna to be an excellent remedy for the grip. I have used it in my family and they all join me in recommending it." Miss Frances M. Anderson of Washington, D. C., daughter of Judge Anderson of Virginia, says: "I was taken very ill with the grip. I took Peruna and was able to leave my bed in a week." Mrs. Harriette A. S. Marsh, President of the Woman's Benevolent Association of Chicago, writes: "I suffered with grip seven weeks. Nothing helped me. Tried Peruna and within three weeks I was fully restored. Shall never be without it again." At the appearance of the first symptoms of grip people should stay indoors and take Peruna in small doses (teaspoonful every hour) until the symptoms disappear. This will prevent a long, disastrous sickness and perhaps fatal results. FREE Our 160 page illustrated catalogue.

HERE is a great solace in this discourse of Dr. Talmage for those whose lives have many anxieties; text, Isaiah iii., 10, "Say ye to the righteous that it shall be well with him." Here is a promise for people who are all right, but who will come and get it? How many, or, rather, how few, people do you know who are all right? If it were asked of any assembly that those who were sinless should rise up, none would rise except imbeciles and religious cranks. An accident happened near sixty centuries ago that started the human race in the wrong way, and we have not got over it. We know a great many splendid men and splendid women, but they will tell you that they have not always done the right thing or thought the right thought. If it were any of your business, they could give you an inventory of frailties and mistakes and infelicities that would be astonishing. Here, then, you say, is a Bible promise that goes a-begging. "Say ye to the righteous that it shall be well with him." It is my delightful work to-day to show you that all the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve may appropriate the benediction of my text if they will first do the right thing. Over here in the next street was a man who in great misfortunes lost all he had and was positively beggared, but a letter comes from some European city where the land records are kept announcing to him that a great fortune is his. Now he is as opulent as he was pauperized. He dofs his rags and puts on respectable attire and moves into a home appropriate for a man of vast estate. His worldly circumstances were all wrong last year; they are all right this year. On the next street is a man who was from perfect health prostrated, and he seemed to be sick unto death, but a skillful physician took correct diagnosis of his disease and by prompt and vigorous treatment restored him to his former vigor. As to his health he was all wrong before; now he is all right. In these two ways I illustrate my theme. Moral Bankruptcy. By sin we have all been morally bankrupted. Christ the Lord from his infinite riches pays our debts and emparadises us in his memory. From his richest wardrobe he puts on us the clean robe of his righteousness and gives us a palace in the heavens when we are ready to go up and take it. Now, as to our spiritual estate we are all right. We were morally diseased, but Christ the physician, by a bath in the fountain of his grace, cures us. Now, as to our spiritual health we are all right. That is the way we come to the righteousness spoken of in the text. It is a contributed righteousness. The moment you get into right relations with Christ the Lord that moment you can appreciate the magnificent comfort of the text, and I defy you, in all this great book, from the first verse of the first chapter of Genesis to the last verse of the last chapter of Revelation, to find me a passage with higher and deeper and broader and longer comfort than that of the text, which is as deep as the Atlantic ocean half way between the continents and high as the sun when the clock is striking 12 at noon. But I shall be swamped with the oceanic tides of this subject unless the Lord help me to keep a foothold. "Say ye to the righteous that it shall be well with him." Bear in mind that but few people can stand worldly success. Water is a good thing, but too much of it will drown. Fire is a good thing, but too much of it will destroy. Light is a good thing, but too much of it dazzles and blinds. Success is a good thing, but too much of it has overwhelmed many for this world and the next. If it were best for us, we would all be millionaires, live in palaces like the Alhambra and be as personally attractive as Cleopatra appeared to Antony. But the most of folks could not endure such superabundance, and it is absolutely necessary in order to keep them right that 999 men out of 1,000 should find life a struggle. It keeps them out of mischief. After Adam was ejected from the premises where by ten minutes of employment a day he could keep the garden and dress it the best thing that could happen to him was compulsion to work and fight. The ground that bloomed with spontaneous flowers and rustled with harvests that owed nothing to plow or hoe became hostile, and bramble was substituted for rose, and the panther growled where before he fawned, and horn and fang and hoof became belligerent. The Edenic ejectment shows us as nothing else ever could that idleness or only a few minutes of employment a day are doom and overthrow. Put it down among your blessings instead of your misfortunes that you have to work hard with brain or hand or foot or all three of them. Richea and Good Works. How many men do you know worth $250,000 who are devout and consecrated and humble and generous and employing their means for the world's redemption? You could count them up on the fingers of your two hands even if by accident or war you had lost one or two of the fingers. As to the realm of personal attractiveness, how many women radiant of countenance and graceful of form do you know who are unaffected and natural of manner and deeply pious before God, using their beauty for the betterment of the world and not for selfish purposes? I only take the risk of asking the question and leave to you the risk of answering it. These things I say to show you that in order to have the promise of the text fulfilled in your case it is not necessary you have phenomenal worldly success Notice also that God gives the righteous the power to extract good out of evil and by a divine chemistry to change the bitter into the sweet, and the harmful into the beneficial. The promise that it shall be well with you does not imply that you are to be free from trouble. There is no escape from that. We all have family relations, and some of them will be making exit from this world, so that bereavement is the universal inheritance. So also is financial loss. The difference between the prospered and those not prospered is the difference in the amount they can afford to lose. The more wealth a man has the more he can lose, but one man can afford to lose a million dollars where another man cannot afford to lose one dollar. On larger or smaller scale all suffer financial loss. Amid the rapidity of the revolutions of the wheel of national and international finance monetary perplexity is as common as day or night. So also misinterpretation and slander come to all who live active lives. Our actions, thoroughly honest and aboveboard, may come under suspicion. Every court room at every term of court hears illustrations of the delusion of what is called circumstantial evidence. Innocent men are fined or imprisoned or electrocuted because of an unfortunate conjunction of events. What is true in court rooms is true in all circles of domestic or social or political or official life. You have been misunderstood and misrepresented or will be misunderstood or misrepresented. Then how can my text be true? My explanation is this: The man without any divine grace in his heart finds in these troubles irritation and unbelief and melancholia and despair. A Christian man finds in them submission and enlarged views and divine support and reconsecration. Bereavement to the worldling brings hard thoughts of God and a resistance so violent it dares not fully express itself. Bereavement brings to the Christian the thought, of heavenly reunion and a more complete laying hold of God, and a more tender appreciation of the divine presence, and deeper gratitude that we were permitted to have the departed one so long, and a more lively sympathy for the sorrows of others and another evidence of God's love, for "whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth." Misery of Having Too Much. Financial loss, which I just now said is sure to come, never breaks up a man who has strong faith in God. In most cases it is a loss of surplus or it is the banishment of luxuries. Most of the wants of the prosperous classes are artificial wants. The late Mr. Armour of the $60,000,000 estate pointed to one of his clerks on ordinary salary and said, "That man has better appetite than I, sleeps better nights and enjoys life more than I do." Oh, the gigantic miseries of those who have too much! Things are more equally divided than is generally supposed. That splendid home is apt to have a taking off of some kind. It may be an invalid wife, or a deformed child, or an inherited tending toward insanity, or a dissolute son, or a despoiled reputation, or a weakened heart that may halt under the least excitement. Envy no man. Envy no woman. Be content with such things as ye have. Do not think, in order to have it well with you according to my text, that therefore you must have more than somebody else, or even as much as somebody else. The Lord treats us all better than we treat him, and if we would study our blessings as much as we study our disasters we would be more reasonable and thankful. In Isaiah God says that bread and water shall be sure, and none of us has been put on so low a diet, but we often act as though God had not kept his promise because we want more luxuries, forgetful of the fact that he promised bread, not cake; water, not sparkling cordials. The reason so many people are miserable is because they do not let well enough alone. They are in one occupation and see its annoyances and so change to another occupation and find as many annoyances, if not more. They live in one place and know its uncomfortable environments and move into another place which has just as many limitations. Their investments yield them 4 per cent and they sell out to make investments that will yield 10 per cent and lose all. Better settle down and stop fretting about yourself and the world. An Unlimited Supply. Do any of us fully realize the fact that God gives us three things in unlimited supply, although no formula of prayer that I ever heard recognizes them—water, air and sunlight? Water by the riverful. Water by the lakeful. Water by the oceanful. Some for ablution, some for slaking of thirst, some for baptistery, some for fountains and aquariums. I never appreciated what a wonderful thing water is until last summer I stood by the fountains before and around the emperor's palace at Peterhof, Russia. I had been familiar with this wonderful element of nature from childhood, having been born on the banks of the beautiful Raritan and as a barefooted boy dabbed in the brook near my father's house. But I never realized until last summer what water could do in play, or in strange caprice, or beautification, or when climbing the ladder of the light, or when skillful workmen took hold of it to toss it, or whirl it, or shape it into crowns, or hoist it into columns, or spring it into arches, or lift it into stars, or turn it into crescents, or build it into temples. You forget you ever saw the less glorious waters at Chatsworth, England, or Versailles, France, as you stand in the balcony of the palace overlooking the Finland gulf, bewildered and transported as you look at the one display called the Golden Stairway fountain. The water rolls down over twenty-four steps one foot high and twenty feet long. All of these twenty-four steps are covered with sheets of burnished gold. Silver step of the water on stairs of gold! What a glee of liquids! Rolling, dashing, foaming, enrapturing splendors! Chorus of floods! Poetry of waters! Doxology of torrents! But that which most impressed me there and elsewhere is the abundance of water, the fact that there are so many waters that the continents can afford to throw them away into the sea, Hudsons and Ohios, Oregons and Amazons, Rhines and Danubes and Volgas, and so abundant that the earth can afford to have its oceans evaporate into the heavens, Mediterranean and Atlantics and Pacifics. How rich the earth is with waters! Best beverages of all the nations, for after the richest banquet with the richest beverages every one wants at least a sip of it— water, cool water, God descended water! With still more abundance is the air distributed. An earth full of it. A sky full of it. Swiftest and strongest eagle cannot fly so high as not to have it in the nostril or under wing. And what affluence of sunlight! No one but the infinite God could dispense so much of it. The golden candlestick set on the blue mantel of the heavens! So great that the Almighty is compared to it, the psalmist crying out, "The Lord God is a sun." It is high time that we recognize in our liturgies and in our formulas of prayer the three most abundant blessings of the universe which come to all. Trust Thoroughly in God. Now, is it not time that we all began more thoroughly to trust the Lord? We trust him with our souls, why not trust him with our bodies? We trust him with our spiritual interests, why not trust him with our temporal interests? We believe what is said to us by an ordinarily honest man. I could not anger you so much or make your cheeks so burn with indignation as to doubt your truthfulness, and how do you suppose the Lord of heaven and earth feels when you doubt him, as he declares in the text, "Say ye to the righteous that it shall be well with him." Such a promise as that ought to calm your pulses and irradiate your countenance and halo all the future with rapture; for, after all, it makes but little difference what becomes of us here if we come out at the right place, amid the right surroundings and in the right companionship. What are the twenty or eighty years of terrestrial stay compared with the centuries, the millenniums, the aeons of our chief lifetime, which we are to begin when we quit this insignificant planet, insignificant as compared with the size of other worlds? This world is only a school house for heaven. We learn here only the A B C of a higher literature, or the simple addition and subtraction of an infinite mathematics and are practicing the eight notes of an eternal harmony. The most important question any man ever asks is, "What will be my destiny?" "Whither am I bound?" "Where shall I land?" "What is the terminus of this short journey?" Now, child of God, do not worry about that. It shall be well with you in your next state of existence. We know but little about heaven. There is but little concerning it in the Bible and that is on the last few pages and is mostly figurative. Do you know the reason why? I suppose it is because if we knew the full attractiveness of that place we would be unfitted for our duties here. We would feel that we were standing in the vestibule of a great Luxemburg and would want to go right in and see the glories; or, standing in the portico of a temple, and would want to get inside among the worshipers. So we are allowed to hear only one bar of the music and to see one fold of its upholstery and catch one glimpse of its towers. I can make only a rough draft of your celestial residence, but I can authoritatively stafe that the world to which you are destined is a big world, a brilliant world, a sinless world, a joyful world, an endless world and a world in touch with other worlds. The World Beyond This. Some scientists are now discussing the opening of communication between our earth and the planet Mars. Experiments are being made, but they will not succeed. We cannot build a fire large enough to attract the attention of that world or lift a lens powerful enough to see any response interstellar. We do not positively know that that world is occupied by living beings or that if it is occupied communication with them would be desirable. It might not be so good a world as this, and thus communication with it would be debasing. But I rejoice to know that heaven is in touch with other worlds for their improvement and a depot for glorious arrivals. It is a thoroughfare between this world and that world and a coming and going perpetual. Going out of this world is as natural as coming into it, but the one is with pang and the other is with rapture if we are fitted for the uplifting process. It shall be well with you. Now, do not get so frightened about that asthma or that cough or that influenza or that threatened pneumonia. The worst thing that fatal disease can do is to usher you into coronation and enthrancement. It shall be well with you. Take as good care of your health as you can, have all sanitary laws, keep in this world as long as you are permitted to stay and then when the heavenly call comes be glad to go. I do not care much about what your "last words" are going to be. People put too much emphasis on "last words." I would rather know what your words are now, in days of health and with mental faculties in full play—your words of kindness, your words of sympathy, your words of helpfulness, your words of prayer. So live that if you say not a word during the last day of your life there will be no doubt here about the place of your destination. You will go right into saintly, prophetic, evangelistic, apostolic, cherubic, seraphic, archangelic, deific presence. It shall be well with you. Mother, you will go right up into the possession of the babe that the scarlet fever or croup took out of your arms, a sorrow that still stings you, and you often say she would now be so many years old if she had lived. You will go into the presence of the old folks, for I hope you are of Christian ancestry, and you will find that they have no dimness of sight or halting gait that requires a staff, for they have taken a draft from the fountain of perpetual youth that springs from under the throne of God. Oh, the blissful companionship of heaven in which you shall enter. It shall be well with you. I ring this bell of emancipation and triumph. I like the way the sexton rings the bell of the old country meeting house. I used to stand and admire him pulling the rope of that bell. He rings it a good while, so that every farm house within five miles hears it. He may halt a moment to take breath and give the sweet sounds time to stir up all the echoes of the hills. And when he is old and not strong enough to pull the rope any more, then he sits and listens while his son rings the church bell. So my text seems a bell of invitation and victory. I began to ring it in the opening of this discourse. I hope to ring it as long as I live, and may those who come after us keep on ringing it till those farthest off from God shall come into the great temple of gospel comfort and all the weary put down their burdens at its altar and find that peace which the world can neither give nor take away. Three times more I ring it. It shall be well! It shall be well! It shall be well! Abraham Lincoln Did and said a good many things.

THE DIET OF ATHLETES. Additions to American Experience by British Observers. Not the least interesting of the long series of dietary studies by Prof. Atwater and his fellow workers are those of university boat crews. They are studies of men in good athletic training, brought into that condition by carefully and skillfully regulated exercise, and proper dieting, and who at the time of the studies were doing severe athletic work. It is a matter not only of interest but of practical importance to understand the food requirements of such individuals, and the work essentially differs from laborers' work in that it is very severe, but of short duration. The laborer is adapted for a sustained exertion, the athlete for short but severe exertion. It may be taken that the essential for an athlete is to have a very ample energy-liberating mechanism—muscle capable of rapidly converting all available energy-producing material (nutriment) into work, while on the other hand the essential for the actively-worked laborer is not so much a highly-developed liberating mechanism as a large store of energy-producing material. It is common knowledge that laborers are not good athletes, and that athletes are not good laborers. The training of the two classes is essentially different. To what extent the food requirements of the two classes differ is well shown by the investigations of Atwater and Bryant. Seven studies were made, four on Harvard university crews, two on Yale university crews, and one on the captain of one of the Harvard crews. The observations were made under somewhat unfavorable conditions, but the authors, with the assistance of fellow-workers, seem to have overcome all difficulties; and have recorded thoroughly trustworthy results. The investigation entailed an unusually large amount of chemical analysis. The results of these seven studies show that the food consumed by these athletes contained a daily average of 155 grams of proteid. 177 of fat, and 440 of carbohydrate, and had an average daily energy value of 4085 calories. The prominent characteristic of such a dietary is the large amount of proteid. The energy value is equal to that of a diet for fairly severe labor, the proteid is sufficient for more severe labor than that of energy. That this is a normal feature of an athlete's diet is shown in the bulletin by comparison with the few trustworthy studies of athletes' dietaries previously published. Sandow in training has been found to eat 244 grams of proteid daily, a prizefighter was found to eat 278 grams, and the members of two football teams were found to eat on an average 181 and 270 grams daily. The energy value of the diets of the boat crews is in excess of that of the average dietaries of similar young men, but is not so largely in excess as the proteid is. Students residing in college clubs have been found to eat a diet with an energy value of 3690 calories, and a proteid value of 107 grams. The energy value of the athlete's diets is only 10 per cent. more than the student's diet, but the proteid value of the athlete's diet is 45 per cent. more than the student's diet. Atwater, by a careful argument, shows that this large use of proteid is not a mere coincidence, but is to satisfy an actual physiological need, though he is not able fully to explain this special need for proteid by athletes. It may be an excessive call for repair and development of muscle, or it may be to satisfy the special wants of the nervous system to compensate for the great "nervous strain."—London British Medical Journal. SUCH IS FAME. Congressman Jonathan P. Dolliver and His Name. "Your name is a household word, senator." This was the remark made in Chicago to Jonathan P. Dolliver, the new United States senator from Iowa, during the recent presidential campaign, when a Republican committeeman, anxious to secure him for a speech, assured him that no man was better known or understood in the city by the lake than the gentleman from Iowa, relates the Saturday Evening Post. "Why, sir, no man is better loved by our people or more highly regarded than you," said the committeeman, rising in enthusiasm. "If that's the case," replied the senator, "I shall have to grant your request and speak again in Chicago." "I shall have to advertise you," suggested the committeeman. "Of course, I know your name—but, to be sure, I want to ask you. I suppose Joseph T. Dolliver is right?" "And my name is a household word in Chicago!" responded the senator. "Yes, sir!" "And my Christian name Joseph?" "And my Christian name Joseph: "My mistake, senator. I might have known better. It's John A. Dolliver." "What!" exclaimed the senator, "and my name is a household word in Chicago!" "Oh, well," spoke up the committeeman blandly; "it's my mistake again. What is your Christian name, anyhow, senator?" "It's Jonathan, sir, and my name is a household word in Chicago!" "My mistake, entirely," apologized the committeeman. "You know I am forgetful at times. I believe you spell your name D-o-l-a-v-o-r?" "Hold on! hold on!" shouted the senator. "And my name is a household word in Chicago! Well! well! who'd 'a' thought it! I spell my name D-o-l-l-i-v-e-r." "Of course, of course," soothingly chimed the committeeman. "Of course, nobody knew that better than myself. You are ex-senator, I believe?" It was then that Senator Dolliver wilted, and whispered sadly: "And my name is a household word in Chicago!" The Rubber Tree Industry.

One of the Minneapolis commission houses, says the Journal, has a salesman who has proven himself possessed of more than his share of originality. He took a city customer's order for five boxes of lemons. The goods were delivered promptly. They appeared to be in good shape, but, on inspection, the dealer found the center of the fruit had turned black and was in the first stages of going to the bad. He gave vent to his wrath and swore vengeance on the salesman. He certainly would demand a rebate on the goods, he said, if he did not send them all back. A friend of the salesman passed him the tip. Mr. Salesman called on the dealer the next day. The latter's face was like a thundercloud. The salesman innocently picked up a lemon from the lot, cut it in two, and a look of surprise and wonder spread over his face. "Well, Charley," he said, "you're in luck." The dealer became interested. "Haven't seen any of them for years," said the salesman. The dealer was more interested. "Those are the famous dark centers raised in a very small valley in southern California," said the salesman. "They are decidedly rare. The last I saw sold for $12 per box. The house must have made a mistake when they sent you them." The dealer smiled. The bluff had gone home, sunk in deep. He talked about the weather, and added, as the salesman was about to go, that the house needn't expect those lemons back. expect those lemons better. Later on a card was seen suspended from the window of the store: LEMONS, RARE QUALITY. THE FAMOUS DARK CENTERS. What happened a few days after, when the whole lemon turned black, is not related "Gwine too Fur." "Dis heah kidnapin' business," said Brother Dickey, "is gwine too fur fer de good er de country.
