WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE JOHN Z. VOLUME IV. M'KAY (Victoriaist an Great is McKanlass. The subject of the above picture has held the boards of the Palace Museum under his own management with good success, both financially and artistically, for the past two weeks. He moves his company now to Coney Island park, having signed a very flattering contract yesterday for an indefinite season. Mr. McKanlass is the only colored manager that looks after and attends to his own EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS. Bishop Coppin's African Letter. Bishop Coppin continues his series of letters from South Africa in the Christian Recorder of last week. The subject of this letter is the color question in Cape Town. He asserts that that city has never been a city of Africans since the Dutch settled there, before the British gained a footing. The present colored population, he says, is the most diversified in the whole universe. The Bishop pays a high tribute to the colonial secretary, who asserted that the government did not sanction the drawing of the color line. He says that when recently it was suggested that the colored man should not be permitted to walk on the sidewalk or ride in street and steam cars along with his white brother, the secretary in a very pleasant interview assured a deputation who waited upon him on the subject that English sentiment would never submit to any act of injustice being done to any British subject, and that the laws then in force, and such as it might be necessary to make, would apply only to persons who were unclean in their dress, and the application would be made alike to white and colored. This welcome news brought relief to thousands of anxious citizens, and they all thanked God for a government whose aim is justice and impartiality. To bear out the truth of his statements Bishop Coppin quotes at length a letter addressed to a daily paper in South Africa by a clergyman of the Episcopal church, which certainly proves his case to the hilt. This writer contrasts the treatment of the colored people by the British and the Boers greatly to the disadvantage of the latter. It is a fact that in the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, during the rule of the Boers, no colored person was allowed any privilege whatever, but was looked down upon with contempt and heaped with contumely. We are glad to welcome to the field of Milwaukee journalism the new paper, the Milwaukee Free Press. If we are to judge from the first two issues it has a brilliant career before it and will fill a long-felt want in Milwaukee;-a second paper which will supply all the news dressed up in a clean, rich, racy manner. We will expect that generous treatment from the Free Press which has never been accorded to us by the older morning business, having no white manager connected with him in any way, form or fashion. He and his daughter, Miss Patti McKanlass, are enjoying a needed rest and taking in the sights of Milwaukee and vicinity. Miss Patti will remain with her father during the summer and then go to Boston to finish her vocal training. She is a very accomplished young lady. A visit to Coney Island next Sunday will give you a chance to hear the Great McKanlass company. English journal. When the new management took hold of that paper great promises were made that every one would be treated alike, but the performance of these promises is in the dim and distant future. The Free Press, if it continues as it has begun, will prove to be a thorn in the flesh to the Sentinel and its generous rivalry may have a beneficial effect upon the tone of that organ, a consummation devoutly to be wished for.

Miss Dorothy Van Slyke, who paid her way through the Chicago university by securing society girls to act as supers for important theatrical productions, has gone into the business of cleaning up tombs, monuments and grave-stones. She has cleaned the Soldiers' and Sailors' monument with great success, and the Elks' monument, at Woodmere. She has photographs of work before and after cleaning. She bases all her cleaning upon her knowledge of chemistry. Miss Van Slyke's office is at the home of her father, a retired clergyman. She has a keenly intelligent face, golden hair and observant eyes. She said today: "Yes, I'm conducting this business venture of mine in my brother's name for my own protection. I don't want any notoriety. I think I'm the only one in the monument cleaning business. I don't do the work myself. I hire men to do it, but I get the contracts myself."—Detroit Special to New York World. Egyptian Recipe for Restoring Hair. Egyptian Recipe for Restoring Hair. The care of the hair, so far as we know, begins with Egypt. We are told that during the reign of Teti (or Teta), which was sometime between 4000 B. C. and 3000 B. C., a hair restorer was invented for the mother of the King. Manetho credits Teti with a work on anatomy, so he may have been the author of the tonic. From a copy of the original which is supposed to be the oldest medical recipe, the following translation is made: "A remedy for restoring the hair. It was made for Shisha, the mother of our majesty, the King of Upper and Lower Egypt. Teti, who has a true voice. "The paw of a dog, the seed of the date and the hoof of an ass.

When a meal was ordered Mr. Graves informed the gentleman that he would be required to wait until his other guests were served. Now, this proprietor is a Grand Army man, one of those presumably who fought in order to free the slaves, and who, no doubt, made a great show of patriotism on that occasion. But when it comes down to rock bottom facts, one soon finds out the true friend of the Negro. This colored gentleman travels all over the state, and has occasion to meet with all sorts and conditions of men, and his treatment from real ladies and gentlemen is everything that can be desired. It remains for an old soldier to stultify himself and his army record by performing such a small action. KRÜS HON Z. G. SIMMONS. KENOSHA. WIS. We have much pleasure in presenting to our readers the latest portrait of the grand old man of Kenosha, Z. G. Simmons. He is one of those gentlemen who make good use of their wealth while they can have the pleasure of seeing the good it does when properly bestowed. His most recent benefaction to the city where his money has been accumulated is to give the sum of $9000 to complete the Kemper gymnasium. Mr. Simmons was the donor of the magnificent library building in Kenosha, as well as the soldiers' monument, both of which are a credit alike to the donor and the city where they are located. It must certain- OUR SOUTHERN EXCHANGES. A great deal has been said against Prof. Booker T. Washington, the president of the Tuskegee college. Some few years ago the Bee didn't agree with the policy that Prof. Washington was pursuing and it didn't hesitate to say so. Since that time he has been pursuing a policy that the Bee thinks is commendable and will tend to elevate the Negro. The question is: Is Prof. Washington inimical to the Negro race? What is he doing? He has established an institution in the South that is benefiting the Negro masses. He is teaching the Negro how to work and how to use his hands. The Negro has been using his mouth long enough and without any result. Prof. Washington has found a great solution to the Negro question and is advocating a scheme whereby the Negro will use his mouth less and his hands more. All the trouble the Negro South has gotten into has been caused by his mouth. What are his defamers doing? The African Methodist church, with, no doubt, the largest membership of any negro organization in this country, with its millions behind it, has been doing nothing but building churches and supporting a great school of lazy Negro bishops. These bishops draw $5000 per annum; live in massive stone-front houses, while their membership live in the huts and hovels; working day and night to maintain big churches and fastidious ministers and bishops. A great number of those ministers don't believe in their own people, because when they want any legal and medical business attended to, they employ the white man and nine chances out of ten the white man is their enemy. The Bee is now speaking from observation. They would rather read a newspaper edited and published by their enemies than they would support a paper edited and published by a member of their own race. On the other hand Prof. Washington has a great institution in which there are hundreds of colored teachers employed; thousands of colored students attend and thousands of dollars are spent among his own people. This is the difference between Prof. Washington and the A. M. E. Methodist; his defamers and traducers. From a White "Citizen." "The great and powerful Anglo-Saxon can afford to be generous and kind to a weak race. The white people of Alabama can afford to do a better thing for the Negro than either the Federal government or any other state, and still preserve white supremacy. There is no reason why anything radical should be done by the convention. The relation of the two races is friendly in Alabama, especially is this true in the Black Belt counties, where the Negro is especially needed by the white man and where the Negro needs the white man. The writer has recently been through North Carolina. In many sections of the state the Negro has become discontented and many of the best Negroes are either leaving the state or the restlessness and discontent is so evident as to reduce greatly the value of farm property. I would not for a minute suggest putting loss of money above any needed reform, but I insist that if we act from a proper motive, we can help the white man as much ly be a great pleasure to have the heart to perform such benefactions, and the wherewithal to do so. Mr. Simmons was never afraid of work, and is not so now, as was instanced when he lately took off his coat, rolled up his shirtsleeves and went to work in his own factory. All of Mr. Simmons' family are noted for their charities and goodness of heart. His brother Ezra and his amiable and accomplished wife are always going about doing good. They are all warm friends and patrons of the Negro race. We wish Mr. Simmons and his relations long life and the satisfaction of knowing that their many benevolences are appreciated by their recipients. as the Negro and still make a fundamental law that will insure white supremacy and still leave the Negro satisfied, contented and friendly. A "stirred-up," restless, resentful working class is not the best asset for either our farms, mines or factories. Alabama can be made the best state in the Union. We have the brains and the labor. All classes in Alabama want stimulation, not depression. They want encouragement, not discouragement. If a spirit of helpfulness and conservatism characterizes the action of the convention, we can teach the world the greatest lesson that it has ever been taught regarding a weak race and do that which will MISS LIZ (The Jewi who is a member of the Great McKanlass company, which opens at the Coney Island park Sunday, June 23, is a great favorite here in Milwaukee.

There will be a day when men as well as Negro organizations in Freemasonry will be recognized. The Negro is coming. The prosperity of the Negro race per capita is estimated at about $75. There were about sixteen colored pupils enrolled at Harvard this year. Our young men must learn to deport themselves as gentlemen on all occasions. They must remember that they are the criterions by which the race is being measured. God helps those who help themselves. If the Negro would be progressive he must not wait for something to turn up. On the contrary, he must turn up something himself. Dreams; Life's Bow of Promise Youth dreams and the rich color of expectancy lends beauty to all the coming years. Man dreams and the vision strengthens his hand and makes gentle his heart. Age dreams and the spirit-picture has suggestion which softens pain and holds glad promise of the life beyond the hills.

Miss A.—, who is a teacher of English in a school of high rank in her native state, Mississippi, and who, in spite of her vivacity in conversation, is perhaps, if anything, too fastidious in her choice of words, was spending the summer at the New York Chautauqua, says a writer in Harper's Magazine. Her flow of spirits made her the delight of the dinner table at which she was first seated, but at the end of a fortnight she was moved by her landlady to another place. A lady from Boston who had been sitting opposite the Southernner expressed her regret at the change. "I am so sorry you are going to leave us," she said with warmth: "we have all enjoyed your dialect so much."

Former Michigan Governor Passes Away in London. Ulceration of Intestines Proves Fatal Despite Every Effort of Physicians London, June 19.—Hazen S. Pingree, former governor of Michigan, breathed his last at 11:35 p. m. He was under the care of three physicians and two nurses, but the doctors had admitted for the last day or two that the hope of his recovery was very slight. Dr. Mills left the dying man's bedside hardly fifteen minutes before the final summons and promised soon to return. At that time Mr. Pingree was unconscious, as he had been for several hours. Dr. Mills had not returned when the end came. The only person in the room at the time was Hazen S. Pingree, Jr., who had been constantly at his father's bedside and had not removed his clothes for four days. At 11:30 he noticed an apparent change in his father's condi- FORMER GOV. HAZEN S. PINGREE. tion, and drawing closer, soon observed that the heart had ceased to do its work. Death had come silently and without special warning. The once vigorous and aggressive American passed away peacefully and without a word to friend or foe. Upon the death of his father, H. S. Pingree, Jr., cabled at once to his mother and uncle, who were about to sail from New York, not to come to London. The remains of Mr. Pingree have been embalmed. They will be removed to a private mortuary tonight, prior to their embarkation on Sunday. The officials of the United States embassy here extended every courtesy and assistance. Show Sorrow in Detroit. Detroit, Mich., March 19.—The downtown streets were well crowded last evening when extra editions of the papers announced the death of ex-Gov. Hazen S. Pingree in London. On every side was heard just one expression, "Well, the old man is dead," followed by some words of simple eulogy. He was always considered as one of the people and the familiar title was used by everyone in speaking of him. Many messages of condolence were sent by friends and political associates to the widow and daughter, who are in New York, and to "Joe" Pingree, who has watched by his father's bedside since the latter's illness began. A cablegram from the dead man's son this evening said he would start for home with the remains at once. As Mr. Pingree's brother, widow and daughter are in New York nothing is known of the funeral arrangements. It is expected the members of the family will remain in New York to await the arrival of the remains. Will Take Official Action. Mayor Maybury is in New York and, it is understood, will convey the city's sympathy to the family. It is also thought likely that the council will appoint a committee to go to New York and accompany the remains to the governor's home city. Similar action may be taken by the citizens' reception committee which was appointed some time ago to greet Mr. Pingree with great eclat on his return home. Among the dead man's friends and former associates general pity is expressed that he should have worked so hard and worn himself out during his political career. A man of tireless energy and a fighter all the time, he gave himself no rest and the fact that his wonderful constitution stood up so well under the strain is thought to have made him careless when the sickness which proved fatal came upon him. More Aggressive than Skillful. In its editorial on Mr. Pingree the Free Press says: "He will be remembered for what he attempted rather than for what he accomplished, for his aggression rather than the skill and wisdom of its direction. What the following that he attracted will do in seeking to carry out his somewhat variable plans must be left to the revelations of time. They will never have a more picturesque or hard-hitting champion, though they may prosper under better and more efficient direction. As a private citizen he was estimable and in his family relations one of the kindest and best of fathers and husbands." All flags in the city floated at halfmast today. Expressions of deep and sincere regret were heard on every hand. The common council met this morning and adopted fitting resolutions, and the circuit courts adjourned until tomorrow in respect to his memory. OUT FOR A TRIAL SAIL. Steering Gear of Yacht Constitution Apparently Out of Order. Newport, R. I. June 19.—The yacht Constitution went out today for a trial sail. When off the lightship, however, she came about and for some time her sails flapped in the light breeze. In a short time the press boat rounded up under her stern, took a line and started back towards the harbor. So far as could be seen from the shore there was no trouble with the rigging of the yacht but there was suggestion of trouble with the steering gear in the action of the yacht, off the lightship. GIFT TO CORNELL. Rockefeller Makes Conditional Offer of $250,000 to University. Ithaca, N. Y., June 19.-At a meeting of the board of trustees of Cornell university today, President Schurman presented a letter from John D. Rockefeller, donating $250,000 to the university on condition that an equal amount is contributed by others. The $500,000 when secured will be used in providing additional accommodations for instruction and research. BRITISH ATTACK THE MAD MULLAH. Capt. Merewether Has a Sharp Action After a Night March—Supply Camp Captured. London, June 18.—A dispatch to the foreign office from the consul-general of Somaliland shows that the mad mullah expedition has had heavy fighting. May 28 the flying column of mounted infantry under Capt. Merewether struck the mullah's supply camp during a night march and captured 5000 head of cattle, killed one important chief and captured another, covered 100 miles, fought a sharp action and returned to its base, all in twenty-four hours. The main force of the British under Col. Swayne departed for Eldab June 2. leaving MacNeill with 300 men to guard Zariba. Swayne's column advanced against the mullah's base. In the meantime the mullah, with 3000 followers, attacked Zariba three times. He was finally driven off by Capt. MacNeill with a loss of 500 men. The British in Zariba had ten men killed and nine wounded. The mullah is now cut off from his base and a decisive action is imminent. HUNTING HORSETHIEVES Armed Farmers with Bloodhounds Have an Exciting Chase Near Elgin, Ill. Elgin, Ill., June 18.—The farmers of Virgil township who organized against horsethieves had a chase after them last night. One farmer was wounded and one of the horsethieves was shot, but, with his companion, succeeded in reaching the railway track and escaping. Horse owners have been on the alert for the last few weeks, as it was reported that the thieves were about to commence active operations again after having been in hiding for a few weeks. Robert Watson, who owns a ranch four miles from Elburn, almost lost a horse on Thursday, so guards were placed at the barns of the farmers and a constant watch kept. On Sunday night at 9:30 o'clock Elmer Troyer, who was secreted in the corn crib at Watson's premises, saw two men come from a grove and go towards the horse barn. He challenged them and they replied by opening fire on him. Troyer promptly replied and hit one of them, who fell. His companion continued to shoot and hit Troyer in the right arm, disabling him. The firing aroused neighbors and a posse of 200 farmers turned out within a few hours. Most of them were mounted, and they searched the country until nearly daylight, when a trail of blood was found leading from the spot where the shooting took place. It was followed some distance and lost. The men went in the direction of the railroad tracks, and are thought to have boarded a passing train. CAPTURED A PATROL. Company of Boers Surround 29 British Near Calvinia-Only Five Escaped. Cape Town, June 18.—Sir Gordon Sprigg, the prime minister of Cape Colony, reports that 150 Boers in the vicinity of Calvinia, in the western part of the colony, under Commandant Maritz, surrounded a British patrol of twenty-nine men. The British had two killed, two wounded, and twenty were captured. The Boers are being closely pursued. Col. Doran has engaged 100 Boers in the Midland district. The burghers had two men killed and three wounded. Another part of Scheeper's commando entered Murraysburg on Thursday and looted the stores. The Boer prisoners now number 19, 242. STRATTON UPHOLDS UNIONS. Cripple Creek Mine Owner Applies for Card in Carpenters' Union. Colorado Springs, Col., June 18.—Winfield Scott Stratton, who has reinvested $10,000,000 in buying and developing Cripple Creek mines, has applied for membership in the Carpenters' union of Colorado Springs. "I was a humble carpenter myself once," he said in explanation, "and know what it is to work for a dollar a day, and ofttimes couldn't even get that. Unions are elevating; they increase the self-respect of labor, compel the respect of employers, and enable the union man to get wages that will educate his children and fit them for higher and more remunerative walks of life. "I am spending $50,000 a month developing mining property, from which I will not take out a cent in ore until the full value of the territory is known, and every cent of that money goes to union labor. "I am paying $3 to $5 a day when I could hire men for half that price, but it would not be profitable nor right for a former workingman to take advantage of the necessities of his fellowmen." ELOPES WITH GRANDCHILD. Watchmaker Sentenced to Imprisonment Because of Child Abduction Binghamton, N. Y., June 18.—Sentenced to three years at hard labor in Auburn state prison is the unromantic ending of an elopement when Frederick Graves deserted his wife to run away with his granddaughter. Graves is a middle-aged man who came here from Elgin, Ill. He secured board with a Mrs. Gray, and after a few months' sojourn decided to wed. He proposed, was accepted and the ceremony was performed. Shortly after the marriage Delilah May Van Derdoe, aged 15 years, his wife's granddaughter, took up her residence with them. The wife thought nothing of the growing intimacy between husband and his step-granddaughter until they suddenly disappeared together. She caused her husband's arrest on a charge of abduction, and it was of this crime he was convicted and sentenced. Mrs. Graves procured a divorce and her granddaughter declares she will wait for her grandfather until his term of imprisonment ends. The Vanderbilts. The first of the Vanderbilts in this country was Jan Aertsen Van der Bilt, a Holland farmer, who came to the New World in the first half of the Seventeenth century, and who settled in the neighborhood of Brooklyn about 1650. As the name indicates, the family belonged originally to either the village of Bilt, a suburb of Utrecht, or the parish of Bilt, in Frisia. Curious Holland Custom. Many old houses in Holland have a special door which is never opened save on two occasions, when there is a marriage or a death in the family. The bride and groom enter by this door: it is then nailed or barred up until a death occurs, when it is opened and the body is removed by this exit. —The heaviest precious stone is the zircon, which is four and one-half times heavier than an equal quantity of water: the lightest is the opal, only twice as heavy as water. —The Ganges is 1570 miles long and drains an area of 750,000 square miles. TO PRESERVE PEACE. Explanation of the Harriman Plan for Community.of Interest Among Railroads. New York, June 19.—The Herald says: Far-reaching plans involving the pacification and harmonization of the great railroad systems in the West and Northwest have practically been completed. On very high authority it may be stated: First—There will be no further consolidation or passing of legal control of great railroad systems of the West. Second—There will be no interchange of securities. Third—There will be no change in the legal status of the St. Paul and the North-Western systems. Fourth—The great capitalists now in control of the Union Pacific group, the Northern Pacific group, the St. Paul system and the North-Western system have extended and solidified the community of interest plan, and while not acting as a syndicate or a committee will co-operate in a manner which will preserve peace. The arrangements will be stronger than any of the old-time "Gentlemen's agreement." The great capitalists will be in a measure a general board of arbitration. Simply for Harmony. Much has been heard within the last few days of a consolidation of the Union Pacific system and the St. Paul road, in which the Chicago & North-Western was also interested. It was stated that there was to be a purchase of the control of the St. Paul road in the interests of both the Union Pacific and the Chicago & North-Western in the pursuit of the community of interest scheme. This, it is authoritatively learned, is not contemplated, but on the other hand, a sufficient interest in the stock of the St. Paul will be acquired by the syndicate of arbitrators, which will fully insure the harmony of interest plans now so nearly completed. The roads which will enter under the control of the central management are the Union Pacific roads, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Chicago & North-Western on the one hand and the Northern Pacific group, composed of the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy on the other. The binding link between those two immense systems is the Northern Pacific. It is expected that when the names of the Northern Pacific's new directors are announced the full significance of the present far-reaching plans will be fully understood. What Roswell Miller Says. Chairman Roswell Miller of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul board says that he knew nothing whatever about any movement to absorb or purchase control in the Milwaukee road. He also stated that he was free to say that he did not believe there were on foot any negotiations whatever in which the Milwaukee was concerned, and if there were any such negotiations he believed he would have been made aware of it. As to harmony in the Western railroad world, Chairman Miller declared that the Milwaukee is now and always has been in favor of harmony, and that with the Wisconsin Central and Great Western out of the way there would be no trouble whatever in the Northwest. President A. J. Earling of the Milwaukee reached New York yesterday afternoon, and in conversation stated that he knew nothing whatever of any deal having as its object the control of the Milwaukee road. He also stated that his trip East had no bearing upon those rumors. Hill's Interests Secure. New York, June 19.—James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern railroad, will sail for Europe today on the St. Paul. "When you were in New York before you said that you and Mr. Morgan were in control of the Northern Pacific. Are you still in control?" asked a reporter last night. "Just as much so as ever," was the answer. "Has there not been an arrangement between you and the Harriman interests by which each has secured equal rights in the transcontinental trade over the Union Pacific and the Northern Pacific?" "You may call it an arrangement or whatever you like," was the answer. "My interests and those of Mr. Morgan are perfectly secure. Why, if they were not, do you think I would take this two months' trip to Europe?" "What is the purpose of your visit?" "Recreation, a good time, that's all. There is no business in it." "Do you not expect to see Mr. Morgan while in London?" "No, he will be on the sea by that time." "What is the cause of the rise in St. Paul?" "Can't tell you." FAST TIME MADE BY THE DEUTSCHLAND FAST TIME MADE BY THE DEUTSCHLAND Atlantic Liner Covers 3082 Miles In 5 Days, 11 Hours and 51 Minutes. Plymouth, June 19.—The Hamburg-American line steamer Deutschland arrived here at 8:15 a. m. today, having beaten her own speed record. She covered 3082 miles in 5 days, 11 hours and 54 minutes, at an average speed of 23.38 miles per hour, against 23.36, her best previous record. Her daily runs were 449, 540, 542, 542, 549 and 460 knots, none of which equal previous best day's runs. Her best previous day's run made in August 1900, was 552 knots. Capt. Albers, her commander, informed a representative of the Associated press that he had never said his vessel would cover the distance inside of five days. No special effort to attain high speed was made. The weather, on the whole, was favorable to a fast passage. On the first day out a light southeast wind was blowing and the sea was rough. During the second day a strong westerly wind blew. The third day the sea was very rough. For the rest of the passage fresh winds and moderate seas prevailed. The passengers seemed quite ignorant of any attempt to break records. BIG FIRE IN NOME. The Total Losses Are Placed at $126,650-Hose was Filled with Ice. Seattle, Wash., June 19.—On May 28, Nome was subjected to a most disastrous fire. The blaze started in a building at the corner of Stedman avenue and First avenue and soon leaped across to the old court building. Later the Washington Trading company's building and the Smilie-Campbell building caught. The fire department encountered the greatest difficulty in fighting the flames, owing to the hose being filled with ice. Judge E. P. Ryan and his wife barely escaped with their lives, losing all their possessions. The total losses are place at $126,650. Assault Becomes Murder Berkeley, Cal., June 19.—Dr. J. G.

Charles Adams, formerly an Episcopal minister. It is stated that Adams' daughter called Jessup by telephone and asked him to come to her home and prevent her father from whipping her. When Jessup arrived at the Adams house and remonstrated with him Adams drew a revolver and shot the dentist through the breast. Adams is in jail and Jessup is dying. San Francisco, Cal., June 18.—Rev Charles G. Adams, who shot and probably fatally wounded his friend, Dr. J. G. Jessup, when the latter remonstrated with the former clergyman for abusing his daughter, is well-known throughout the East. He was born fifty years ago in Delaware county, N. Y.

Cralg-y-Nos, Patti's Castle In Wales, Is Knocked Down on a Bid of $225,000. London, June 18.—The Craig-y-Nos castle, the residence in Wales of Adelina Patti (Baroness Rolf Cederstrom), was put up at auction this afternoon at the Mart, this city. The bidding opened with an offer of £50,000 made by a prominent London auctioneer. No other offer was heard and Auctioneer Lumley declared Mme. Patti's castle sold at that figure. Simultaneously the bidder rushed up and told Mr. Lumley he had not meant his offer to be taken seriously. Long conferences followed. Mr. Lumley went out and consulted Sir George Lewis, the well-known lawyer. Excitement reigned throughout the auction room. The bidder, who was very pale, remained in his seat perspiring, with the eyes of all present upon him. Sir George Lewis said that no proceedings will be taken and Mr. Lumley reopened the sale at £20,000. By thousands and five hundreds the bidding quickly advanced. At £45,000 a deadlock was reached and Mr. Lumley announced that he must buy in the property for Mme. Patti, the reserve price being £50,000. EXPRESS CLERKS ACCUSED OF THEFT.

Czar's Government Imposes Retaliatory Tariffs on American Goods. Washington, D. C., June 18.—The Russian ambassador, Count Cassini, has communicated to the state department that in consequence of the action of the American government through a treasury order of March 9 last, applying tariff restrictions against Russian petroleum, imported into this country, the Russian minister of finance, M. De Witte, has issued an order dated June 7, imposing the high tariff rate of the Russian schedule on American white resin or calafin, galapot and white resin, under article 32 of the Russian tariff law, and increasing the rate on American bicycles under article 173 of the Russian laws. This action is entirely apart from that taken in connection with Russian sugar and is a new development in the discriminatory duties imposed by this government and the retaliatory duties imposed by Russia. The order of the Russian minister is to take effect next Friday or two weeks from the date of its issuance. CITED FOR CONTEMPT.

Big Manufacturing Concern Decides to Locate in the Spring Waukesha, Wis., June 19.—[Special.] —That Waukesha is to have a manufacturing establishment to take the place of the Wisconsin Central railway repair shops seems to be almost an established fact. The officers of the Wisconsin Central company and the citizens of Waukesha have joined hands in an effort to locate an establishment here and the success of the undertaking seems to be assured. It is expected that the deal landing the plant here in the Central shops will be consummated this afternoon. The appraisers of the railway company were taking invoice of the property here yesterday, not with a view of the new company making the purchase now, but in order to fix a price at which it may be bought in ten years' time. In the meantime the proposed company will be given a lease of the buildings and an option upon all the property. The Central Railway company, when it removed its establishment to Fond du Lac hurt Waukesha to a very great extent and by assisting in getting another industry here they are making amends for the unavoidable injury to this city. The plant which will locate here manufactures tinplate and galvanized iron. A mass meeting was held last week to talk over the proposition and at its close over $5000 was raised at a bonus. By work by the soliciting committee the fund has benn greatly swelled until nearly the required amount, $15,000, has been raised. Capitalists from the East and Chicago are interested in the concern and they intend to put $150,000 into the plant. As soon as the papers are made out and signed, the lessees will commence working on the old buildings. The new company will employ about 300 men and will pay out for wages between $1000 and $1500 per day. The head of this concern is John E. Jones, who formerly owned an iron mill at East Saginaw, Mich., but recently sold it to the iron trust. He is greatly assisted in carrying out the deal by Mr. Patterson of Chicago. INSPECT STATE MILITIA. Capt. E. B. Chynoweth of the Regular Army Detailed to Wisconsin. Madison, Wis., June 19.—[Special.] Capt. E. B. Chynoweth, whom Washington dispatches say has been detailed to duty with the Wisconsin National Guard, is to be inspector of the state militia for this year, beginning his duties July 1. The inspections are to be completed by September 1. Capt. Chynoweth was military instructor at the State university a few years ago. QUEEN QF THE NAVY. The Battleship Wisconsin Travels 18.6 Knots Per Hour Under a Forced Draft. San Francisco, Cal., June 17.—The battleship Wisconsin steamed into this port yesterday after a forty-eight-hour trial in the Santa Barbara channel, during which it was demonstrated that the Badger ship is the swiftest sailor of her class in the United States navy. According to members of the trial board and the experts in naval construction who were aboard the Wisconsin when she was put through her final paces before being accepted by the government, the battleship will show a speed of more than 18 knots an nour if put under forced draft. This speed mark is higher than the one established by the Illinois. The terms of the contract between the Union Iron works, the builders of the Wisconsin, and the government, provided that the final trial run of the Wisconsin should be made under natural draft and should last forty-eight hours. Any defects in the machinery would send the ship back to the docks to be brought up to specifications. The Wisconsin left this port last Friday morning and during the two days had fair sailing in an easy sea. With full head of steam and natural draft the official record for two hours was 16.45 knots an hour. For the forty-eight hours the average was 15.3 knots an hour. Six months ago the Wisconsin was turned over to the government by the contractors. At that time a forced draft trial was made and the new greyhound of the navy surprised her builders by showing a speed of 17.176 knots an hour. This test was made at a time when the ship's engines were too new to show their best work. Last Wednesday while being brought to this port from Puget Sound, the officers in charge gave the Wisconsin her head from Point Arena to Point Reeves and had the satisfaction of seeing her put 37.2 knots behind her in two hours, or 18.6 knots an hour. The trial just closed demonstrated that no alteration would have to be made either in the battleship's propelling apparatus or in her fighting equipment. On the run up from the channel yesterday all the guns were tested for mechanical defects, but none was found. This side of Point Conception all the guns were fired. Solid shot was used and no attempt at feats of marksmanship were made. The trial was made under the direction of the following officers: Capt. Louis Glass of the Pensacola, Capt. Mead of the Philadelphia, Capt. Perry of the Iowa, Commander Stevenson, naval constructor at the Union Iron works, and Lieut.-Com. Noel, navigator of the Iowa. The engineers aboard were Chief Engineer Willetts of the Iowa. Chief Engineer Bird of the Philadelphia and Chief Engineer Forsythe of the Union Iron works. Navigator Hughes of Philadelphia was also aboard. At the conclusion of the trial the naval men who passed upon the sailing and fighting probabilities of the Wisconsin agreed that she was full of surprises in both directions, and would undoubtedly prove herself the swiftest sailer in the navy and as effective as any other ship in battle. DOWAGER IS CRAFTY. She will Announce that Emperor Kwang Su Hsd Been Killed by Brigands. London, June 17.—The Shanghai correspondent of the Globe, telegraphing under today's date, says he learns in Chinese quarters that the Dowager Empress proposes, when the court reaches Kai Fong Fu, in Honan, to announce that the Emperor had been killed by brigands and that Prince Tuan's son has succeeded to the throne. The Dowager Empress will then establish a new capital at Kai Fong Fu, which will be connected by railway with Nankin. The contract for this railway will be given to John C. Fergusson of Boston, who the correspondent understands, will sell the concession to the Russians. The correspondent adds that Fergusson is acting on behalf of Li Hung Chang and Tao Tai Shang, who hope to escape censure by throwing the blame for the transaction upon Fergusson. American Plan Prevails. Pekin, June 17.—The ministers have practically agreed on all the chief points in regard to the payment of the indemnity. All are willing to accept the American proposition of an indemnity of 450,000,000 taels, with interest at 4 per cent., the bonds to be issued at par and an annual payment of 18,000,000 taels to the sinking fund. Russia's objection to the proposal has been removed and Italy and Japan will accept, although they think China unable to raise a loan at 4 per cent. The ministers have also determined the sources from which the revenue shall be raised,—namely: the salt gabelle and native customs. At treaty ports the maritime customs are increased to an effective 5 per cent. Mr. Rockhill, the American special commissioner, secured the consent of the other powers to this, and also to the conservancy of Woo Sung harbor, near Shanghai, and the entrance to the Pei Ho, near Tien Tsin, matters which the local chambers of commerce have urgently desired for thirty years. MISSING THREE WEEKS. Fargo, N. D., June 17.—Dr. Edward B. Evans, a prominent physician of this city, has suddenly and mysteriously disappeared from his home. He left Fargo on Tuesday night, May 28. ostensibly to visit a patient some miles in the country. Since then no word has been received from him. No reason can be assigned for his silence and absence. He was happily married, and had, just before his disappearance, brought on his young wife, and was arranging up to the hour of his departure, a home for himself and wife. Dr. Evans enjoyed a good practice and was not embarrassed financially. All this deepens the profound mystery surrounding his sudden disappearance. Dr. Evans was married last January to Miss Jennie Lewis of Lowell, Mass., a well-known singer on the concert stage in New England and in the theatrical companies in the East. LOCKOUT FOR 7000 MEN. Immense Shipbuilding Plant at Newport News to Close Tonight.

This will throw 7000 employees out of work. DIED BEFORE OPERATION. Iron Mountain Miner Succumbs to Effect of Chloroform. Iron Mountain, Mich., June 17.—[Special.]—Tony Gamboni, who was injured by a blast at the Pewabic mine on Good Friday last, went to Menominee Saturday to have his eyes operated upon by an eye specialist. After taking chloroform and before the operation, he suddenly expired. WHEN FLORA DRIVES. When Fora drives I just sit back and smile. Enjoying her discomfiture a while I lost-the port assigned to me. Before I act the part assigned to me. She takes the ribbons almost savagely. Soon as we lose the haunts of trade and guile. The cue is taken soon. In sleepy style Old Dobbin ambles up the woodland aisle—It's just as well, perhaps, he cannot see When Flora drives. She says I take advantage—would revile My thieving ways. Her tears are crocodile! She makes me thief with opportunity. I tell her so. And she relents? Not she! But that's the shortest, most delightful mile When Flora drives. —Edward W. Barnard in Lesile's Weekly. A Present from the Prince Young Gildmore Goldrock told me this strange story, and I will give the story in Goldrock's own words, as he gave it to us in the smokeroom of the Anglo-American club: "It happened last year," said Goldrock, as he hoisted his feet on to the mantelpiece and addressed his words to the clock. "I was crossing to Liverpool and happened to strike up an acquaintance with the young Pole who shared my stateroom. He was a pleasant young fellow, and in the course of a day or two we became great friends. He told me that his name was Ladislas Nadokoff, and that he had been studying medicine at Philadelphia. He further confided that he was on his way to London to visit a friend of his youth. "In return I told him how I was going to England to spend a few months with my married sister, the Countess of Darnford, with whom my wife was already staying, having crossed before me, since I had been detained a few weeks in New York on business. "Nadokoff then told me he, too, had a sister who was married to a Russian nobleman who was a sort of sheriff in his own county, and commander of a posse of Cossacks. So, on the strength of our aristocratic connections, our confidences grew so that we used to talk quite freely of political matters. "Nadokoff's politics were a bit mixed. At the time I thought this was because he was quite young, and had not learned that political views should be used as a means to a profitable end. "But his politics had been acquired in some other place than America, the land of the free. He hinted of old scores, dating back hundreds of years, which were to be wiped out by younger and more vigorous generations. Notwithstanding his family connections, he hated the Russians. 'Down with everything and hang the expense,' was his motto, and he talked a lot about the iron-handed tyranny of the Russian government, while I sat around and swapped sympathetic seditions. "I noticed that often as we were talking together a gentleman with a bald head and a large white mustache used to pass along and lean on the rail or look at the sky when he came within earshot of us. "Then I used to change the conversation to railroads or pork, which are far safer subjects than Russian politics; for somehow I mistrusted this elderly gentleman, who spoke English like a German, drank his tea with lemon, and while he gave himself out as a commercial traveler, walked as though he were waiting for the clink of the spurs at his heels and the rattle of his sword at his side. "He was registered on the passenger list as Mr. William Smith, which was strange, considering that his handkerchief was embroidered with the initials J. K. It takes a Russian to spell Smith with a K. "As we approached Queenstown, Nado-koff, who had been looking ill and worried throughout the voyage, seemed to grow more ill at ease. "At bedtime, the night before we reached Queenstown, he did not turn up in the stateroom. I waited till long after 'lights out,' then I grew anxious about him, and passed the word for the steward, who went to look for him. "He had disappeared. "The ship was searched high and low by the watch, who were warned by the captain to hold their tongues about the matter, but no trace of him could be found. "'E's just been and gone and slipped overboard.'" said our stateroom steward; 'they do sometimes, you know.' "Strange to say, as we were hunting round the decks Mr. Smith, who, I knew, had retired to his stateroom an hour or more before, joined us in our search." "Still stranger, as I was returning to my berth, I saw Mr. Smith disappearing down the passage, although his berth was situated on the other side of the ship. "When I looked over at Nadokoff's empty berth I noticed that his portmanteau had been moved since I had left the cabin. When I came to open my own portmanteau I found it locked. Then I remembered that earlier in the evening, as Nadokoff was going along to the stateroom from the smoking cuddy on deck. I had given him my key, and asked him to get me a few cigars, which were stowed away in the pocket of my flannel jacket. "He had evidently jumped overboard with my key, but I was too troubled about him to worry about that, besides which I knew that my wife had a duplicate key on her bunch. "At Liverpool a half crown to the customs officer passed my portmanteau all right, and I did not open it till I reached my brother-in-law's house in Park lane, where my wife was staying. My wife had the key on her ring, and stood by as I unlocked the bag. "You dear old boy,' she cried, as the bag opened and showed a large jewel case, which lay on the top of my clothes. 'You have been wasting your money again on me at Tiffany's, I know. It's too wicked of you!" "I felt a bit uncomfortable, for the fact was I had been too busy in New York to remember my usual visit to Tiffany's, besides which I had never set eyes on the jewel case before. "I'm afraid it is not for you, dear, said I, as I opened the case. My wife gasped as the lid flew up and showed a bracelet formed of a heart-shaped mass of opals framed in a most wonderful setting of diamonds. "Oh! how lovely,' she sighed; 'but, anyway. I hate opals; they are unlucky. But who is it for, dear?' she added. "I told her I did not know. Then I saw tucked in under the bracelet a small note. I opened it. "Dear friend,' it ran. 'I can bear my life no longer, so tonight I shall jump overboard. My last request I am sure you will faithfully execute. Take this bracelet to the Countess Zalinska, and tell her it is a parting gift from her old lover, Prince Ladislas Nadokoff. She lives in Park lane, quite close to your sister's house. Farewell, dear friend; may we meet in a kinder and less troubled world. Thine, Ladislas.' "My wife had lifted the bracelet, and, as women will, for its better inspection, was about to clasp it on her wrist. "Don't, dear,' said I, hastily. I did not reason why, but somehow I disliked the idea of her wearing it. "She put it back in the case obediently, but laughed at me for a superstitious old hubby. Then I showed her the letter, and told her the story of my friend on the boat. Then she cried a little, and offered to deliver it to the Countess Zalinska, an offer which I gladly accepted, for I was beginning to look forward to my commission with some misgivings. "I hate scenes. My wife likes them, so the next morning, after breakfast, she made a careful toilet, and prepared to visit the countess. "I gave her the bracelet and my blessing, and told her to break the news gently to the countess, who might still be fond of her old lover, and how to dodge the count, if such a person existed, and to bluff the game through on the pretense of calling for a subscription for a home for lost dogs. "My wife had not left the house many minutes before Jeanette, my sister's maid, made her appearance at the door of the breakfast room. "'If you please, sir,' said she, 'there's a gentleman waiting to see you.' Then, with a giggle, 'E's got a policeman with him.' "'Show him in, and the cop as well,' said I, beginning to feel a little uncomfortable, for I remembered that I was in a foreign country. "In a minute, who should walk in but William Smith. The policeman stayed outside with Jeanette. It seemed to me that he knew Jeanette, and that he came as near winking at her as a policeman could. "Mr. William Smith, I believe,' said I, rising. "Forgive me—Mr. Goldrock,' said my visitor, politely, 'but William Smith is merely my nom de guerre. I am Johann Katchachieff, of the Russian Imperial police. "Oh, lor!" I murmured, under my breath. 'What have I been doing? Please to meet you. Mr. Katchachieff,' I replied, politely. 'What do you want of me? "You remember a young man who shared your stateroom on the Umbria? "Just a bit." "He jumped overboard the night before that vessel reached Quenstown," he continued. "'That's so,' I assented. That's so, I assented. "What I require to know is: what became of a certain bracelet in his possession?" "Then you won't find out from me!" I replied, rather shortly, for I did not feel like giving away poor Ladisla's love affairs to a 'trap', and a Russian 'trap at that. "Look here,' said he, curiously, 'if you do not tell me at once, I have an order for your arrest from the chief commissioner of the English police." "I beckoned to the policeman who was standing at the door with Jeanette. "Come here, constable, and see fair play,' said I. "The bracelet,' said I, was placed in my portmanteau by Mr. Nadokoff before he jumped overboard, with a note, in which he asked me to deliver it to a lady who lives close by here. My wife has just gone out for that purpose.' "Heavens!" cried the Russian, 'where does she live? That bracelet is a bomb, and was sent by a secret society in New York as a means to the assassination of the Countess Zalinska, who is the wife of the chief of police. Directly the clasp is snapped—" "I didn't wait to think. I just streaked to the door, pushing the policeman in front of me. "Run," I yelled. "We tumbled down the hall steps, and lighted up Park lane to the admiration of the surrounding citizens. "It did not take us long to reach the countess" house. "The policeman was first, the Russian second while I was a close third. second, while I was a close third. "The door was opened, and we plunged in, and tore upstairs. "'Where's the countess?' gasped the Russian. "A frightened servant jerked a finger toward a door. "We tumbled into the room. "In the countess' hands was the bracelet. "She was in the act of clasping it on her wrist when the Russian pounced upon it, snatched it from her, and flung it out of the window. "There was a fearful report, followed by a clatter of falling glass below. "The countess had fainted. * * * * * * * * * "Katchachieff seemed to know all about it. He told me how Ladislas had belonged to a Nihilist club in New York and how he had been commissioned to deliver the bracelet to the countess. "He had opened his sealed letter of instructions the night before we reached Queenstown, and not till then had he become aware of the identity of his victim. Fretty Things to Wear. The outing season brings to the front the natty little white duck hats. One of these inexpensive cotton hats has a small brocaded buffalo on the front. The crown is soft, in alpine shape, while the trimming is of stiffer material and about three inches wide. Among the fads of the hour in jewelry is the floral brooch. It is most effective when the fruit or flowers of the pin match the gown in color. A shirtwaist of Indian pongee is both serviceable and extremely stylish. The prettiest trimming for a waist of this material consists of bands of Oriental embroidery mixed with tinsel. A vest of the embroidery is also appropriate. One of the latest novelties in tuckings is the so-called "sunburst waist." Tiny tucks are made to radiate from the bust to the sleeves, and are caught together at the center with a jeweled or rhinestone brooch. A charming dressy little cape may be made of pleated glace silk with a scarf of ivory applique lace laid on by way of trimming. The lace is modishly set off by threadings of black velvet, and the high collar is becomingly lined with lace of the same kind as that used for the scarf. The lacy white hose to be worn with white suits and evening gowns are most fascinating in their variety. Tiny embroidered designs of all sorts appear just above the instep. One pair embroidered by the wearer herself with dainty blue bow knots is extremely pretty. The Empire gown is gaining steadily in favor in Paris. One exquisite toilet was seen there of white voile over satin, trimmed with a broad gold galloon surrounding the long skirt, which was draped slightly on the hips in tunic form. A gold band also encircles the waist line, which was placed just below the bust. A short bolero of gold passementerie added the finishing touch. Boas of every description are seen, from ostrich and coque feathers to the silk and ribbon ruche. Novelties must therefore be found in the art metal pendants chosen for the boa. Some of the latest fancies in these pendants are tiny chestnut burrs of silver and enamel acorns or apples. Another odd design is a metal bar, from which hang two or three tiny coins. Such a pendant, however, is best used only on the broad ribbon ruche. Dainty little fichus complete the toilet in a graceful fashion, and are worn with gowns of every description. They may sometimes be drawn into a point at the back, and are prettiest when made of some filmy stuff and edged with soft lace. Horse Famine in Kansas. Central Kansas is complaining of a horse famine. The farmers have been too ready to sell their horses to English army purchasing agents, and now are compelled to pay from $125 to $140 for animals that a year and a half ago found no purchasers at $75. DE WAYNE STEBBINS DEAD. Deceased was a Prominent Figure in Legislative and Political Circles of Wisconsin. Algoma, Wis., June 13.—[Special.]—Senator DeWayne Stebbins died suddenly at midnight of neuralgia of the heart. He had just returned from a trip to San Francisco, as a member of the Wisconsin battleship committee to present the silver banquet set and bronze badger to the battleship Wisconsin. On his way back from the coast he complained frequently of pains in his chest, but it was supposed that he was suffering from indigestion. Yesterday he was at his usual [Name not visible in the image] place in the Bank of Algoma with Edward Decker, its president, and he remained with the latter until about 10 o'clock last night. About midnight he was taken with an unusually severe attack of heart trouble, during which he suddenly expired. Mr. Decker, who had taken a train for Sturgeon Bay immediately after his conference at the bank with Mr. Stebbins, was advised by wire of the death of his business associate. At 11 o'clock last night Mr. Stebbins complained of feeling ill and shortly after that Mrs. Stebbins noticed that he seemed to be failing rapidly. She summoned a physician, but Mr. Stebbins was dead before the doctor arrived. The funeral will take place Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. Burial will be here. DeWayne Stebbins of Algoma, Kewaukee county, was born at Clinton, Oneida county, N. Y., April 5, 1835, and came to Wisconsin with his parents in the fall of the same year. He received a common school education and graduated at the United States naval academy at Annapolis, serving four years during the A FRIEND'S TRIBUTE The death of Senator Stebbins has deeply shocked those who recently enjoyed his*company during a trip to the Pacific slope. In the performance of the pleasing duty shared by the Battleship Commission, and throughout the journey to and from San Francisco, Senator Stebbins gave utterance to many patriotic sentiments, particularly in conversation with English travelers on the return journey, homeward-bound from the Orient, but in no instance were these utterances distinctly anti-English or offensive to those to whom they were addressed; on the contrary, they were molded by the feeling of brotherhood which is binding the two great English-speaking nations with closer ties. Senator Stebbins was thoroughly loyal to the nation and to his state. He had a true heart beneath his rugged exterior, and his natural curtness was a foll for the tenderest consideration for the rights and feelings of others. He was invariably brusque, but this was due to his decisive character, and was no reflection of the real man. By many Wisconsin people, his death will be mourned as a personal loss. JULIUS BLEYER. Civil war as an officer in the United States navy. He resided in Racine until 1856, when he removed to Algoma (formerly Ahnapee), where he had since made his home. He was cashier of the Bank of Algoma and publisher of the Algoma Record. Was president of the Wisconsin battleship fund committee and attended the launching at San Francisco, November 26, 1898, and also the presentation of the silver banquet set and bronze badger on the 27th of May. He was a member of the Assembly in 1873, and had been a member of the Kewaunee county board for twenty-seven years. He was nominated for the Assembly in 1870, but was defeated by a narrow majority; was nominated in 1872 and elected by a large majority. He was elected to the state Senate in 1894, receiving 6332 votes, against 4571 for C. C. Daily, Democrat and Populist, and 206 for G. A. Jacobson, Prohibitionist. He was re-elected to the state Senate in 1898, and also in 1900. During the gubernatorial campaign which ended in the nomination and election of Gov. La Follette, Senator Stebbins was one of the leading candidates, but his name was withdrawn with all others except that of Gov. La Follette before the convention assembled. Senator Stebbins was an uncle of Mrs. W. A. Hayes, wife of Attorney Hayes of this city, and was well known in Milwaukee, where he frequently visited. Senator Stebbins had no children of his own, but adopted a son some years ago. During the return trip from San Francisco with the Wisconsin battleship commission, upon which he was accompanied by his wife, he complained of not feeling well and upon his arrival at the station in Algoma he remarked to his brother-in-law, Irving W. Elliott, that he did not know whether he would be able to get to the house. He had no suspicion of being troubled with heart disease, and considered himself in the very best health. He was for many years prominently identified with the best interests of his home town, and as a member of the school board for a number of years, was active in assisting in bringing the schools of the town up to a high standard of excellence. Although childless, Senator Stebbins took a great interest in the welfare of the youth of his town and county, and was known as a man of advanced ideas and possessed a belief that the best that could be had for the rising generation should be given. STEBBINS AT REST. STEBBINS AT REST. Algoma, Wis., June 15.—[Special.]— The funeral of Senafor DeWayne Stebbins took place here this morning. The body lay in state at the Opera house from 5 until 8 o'clock last evening. Three thousand persons visited the hall to pay a last tribute to the dead. This morning the body was taken to the family residence, where at 9:30 o'clock short funeral services were conducted by Rev. Dr. Gardner of the Episcopal church, after which the funeral procession moved to the Opera house, where the Masons conducted public services.

The larger and more elaborate pieces consisted of a large wreath with the word "Senator" upon it, from his associates in the Senate. The Loyal Legion of the state sent a pillow with the words "Loyal Legion" in contrasting flowers. There was also a large floral piece from the Green Bay commandery and many other smaller designs and cut flowers in profusion. designs and cut howers in prudence. The sword which the senator carried during the Civil war as a lieutenant in the navy lay upon his coffin at the house. All business in the city was suspended today in honor of the dead senator. The opera house, where the public services were held, was packed to the doors, many persons being unable to gain admittance. The Algoma bank, of which Senator Stebbins was cashier, was draped in mourning, and a likeness of the late senator draped in mourning hung in the window. Gov. La Follette's Tribute. Gov. La Follette spoke very feelingly of t he dead senator. He said that Mr. Stebbins had held a position in the state that no other man could fill and that his death was a public loss.

La Crosse, Wis., June 15.—[Special.] —A man's practical joke on his wife kept two detectives of the central police station detail very busy the greater portion of yesterday afternoon. He burglarized his own home. At noon a hurryup call was received at the station saying that a house had been ransacked of everything of value. After working through all the hot day trying to locate the plunder, it was discovered that the husband, who was about to go away for a few hours, returned home and finding everything open took all he could find of value and hid it. The police are sore, but the wife will remember the lesson and hereafter lock things up when going away.

Harriman Syndicate Said to Have Control of Eleven Big Roads. Community of Interest Established by Means of Which High Rates will be Maintained. THE HARRIMAN COMBINE. Total mileage Road. June 30, 1899. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. 6,946 Southern Pacific 7,614 Union Pacific 4,439 Northern Pacific 4,524 Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. 6,191 Chicago & North-Western. 5,077 Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. 7,180 Missouri Pacific 5,324 Great Northern 5,127 Chicago & Alton 844 Wabash 2,326 Total .....55,592 Chicago, Ill., June 17.—That the Harriman combine has secured control of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, and that a composite agreement has been made to perfect a community of interests among roads with 55,592 miles of track, is generally accepted in railroad circles. The sudden departure of Mr. Harriman for the East, accompanied by President John J. Mitchell of the Illinois Trust and Savings bank, was announced in support of the statement that Mr. Mitchell and other bankers would turnlsh the funds for the completion of the Milwaukee & St. Paul transfer. It is asserted now that all the roads west, northwest, and southwest from Chicago to the Pacific coast will be controlled in future by the following interests: Lines west of Chicago to the Pacific coast by Harriman, Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and the Rockefellers. Lines northwest from Chicago by Hill and Morgan. Lines southwest from St. Louis by Gould and the Rockefellers. Lines southwest from Chicago by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, to which probably will be added before long the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific. The consolidation of these Western roads promises to effect an advance in the price of the stock and bonds beyond the expectation of the early purchasers. The indebtedness of the companies in this community of interest deal up to June 30, follows: Roads. Aitchison, Topeka & Santa Fe ..... $174,938,710 Southern Pacific ..... 15,200,000 Union Pacific ..... 95,000,000 Northern Pacific ..... 159,743,400 Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul ..... 136,588,500 Chicago & North-Western ..... 133,645,000 Chicago, Burlington & Quincy ..... 125,934,000 Missouri Pacific ..... 62,138,000 Great Northern ..... 40,946,000 Chicago & Alton ..... 8,650,850 Wabash ..... 81,534,000 Bonds. Stock. $233,486,000 16,500,000 136,000,000 155,000,000 77,845,000 63,791,319 82,004,200 47,447,075 25,000,000 24,359,600 52,000,000 Secure Stock in St. Paul. It is generally believed that the large holdings of James Henry Smith and Peter Geddes in the stock of the Milwaukee & St. Paul have been acquired jointly by Jacob Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who are agents and principal backers of Mr. Herriman, and by J. Pierpont Morgan. Mr. Morgan for years has been a large stockholder of Milwaukee & St. Paul, and without his co-operation the Harriman forces could not have secured control. The object undoubtedly was to combine the various factions which have been fighting for supremacy in transcontinental railroad affairs and to prevent any more such disastrous breaks in stock as that of the Northern Pacific. The factions united in this latest scheme for the perfection of the community of interests were the Morgan-Hill, the Harriman-Gould-Rockefeller, and the Santa Fe interests. While eleven of the roads will be drawn into the agreement at first, the Rock Island, Chicago Great Western, Wisconsin Central and a few smaller lines eventually will enter it of their own accord. No doubt is entertained that the conference of E. H. Harriman and the president and executive officers of the principal roads had for its object an offensive and defensive traffic alliance to prevent competition and insure the maintenance of agreed rates. Incidentally it will be possible for the new combination to advance rates whenever it pleases and keep them there until they are lowered by law. Must Earn Large Sums. Unless rates are maintained it will be impossible to earn the interest guaranteed by the financiers for the stock and bonds of such roads are were needed to complete the great combination. For instance, Burlington stock was exchanged for 4 per cent. bonds on the basis of $200 in bonds for $100 in stock. To pay this interest Burlington will have to earn 8 per cent. on its capitalization. Until recently the company had paid only 5 per cent. Should there be a failure of crops and any serious falling off in traffic it is believed the road would find it difficult to make the percentage guaranteed. If it should earn less, the Great Northern and Northern Pacific lines would be compelled ot pay the difference because of the guarantee of their sanguine dictator. The same experience will follow if the Milwaukee & St. Paul deal is perfected, with the Union Pacific back of the proposition to guarantee the earning capacity of the line. It is rumored that the conference by President Marvin Hughitt of the Chicago & Northwestern, President Burt of the Union Pacific, and President Hays of the Southern Pacific systems, in Omaha on Friday, and their subsequent meeting at the Auditorium Annex in this city, had for an object the acquirement of a controlling interest in the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific by the North-Western, or the Vanderbilts. The Milwaukee & St. Paul stockholders have been given to understand, it is said, that the North-Western would be back of the guarantee if the Union Pacific were given control of the road. If this report be correct the Vanderbilts would have a transcontinental line from New York to California and the north Pacific coast under their control. STRIKE OF TRACKMEN. Montreal, June 17.—Officials of the Trackmen's union announce that between 3000 and 3500 of the Canadian Pacific Railway company's trackmen struck today for an increase in wages. The trackmen receive an average of $1.15 a day and want an increase of from 10 to 20 cents a day, according to locality. They claim that while the Canadian Pacific pretended to increase their wages 5 cents a day they really had decreased previously to that, the week's wage by $37½ cents through cutting down track-walking, so that the company, with the apparent increase, still had the better of the trackmen by $27½ cents a week. The company claims the men are as well paid as on any other road. CHICKS WERE APT PUPILS. Taught the Vanishing Act by a Partridge Rearing Them. While passing through a piece of woods bordering her farm near Onaway, Mich., the other day, Mrs. David Brown came upon an old hen partridge in possession of a brood of young chickens just taking on their first little wing feathers. The chicks demonstrated that they had been apt pupils under the tutelage of their strange mother, and did the lightning scattering act, so mystifying and wonderfully executed by young partridges almost from the hour they leave the shell, at the first note of warning by the mother hen, as well and thoroughly as though they had descended directly from an ancestry born to the trick Mrs. Bowen succeeded in capturing two of the chicks, however, at the end of a long search and stubborn resistance upon the part of the old partridge. It is presumed that one of the farm hens in stealing her nest away in the woods moved in with a partridge to save building a nest of her own, and that when it came time to commence "setting" for keeps, the partridge assumed undivided possession of the house and its contents, turning old biddy adrift without so much as a pleasant look. Pursuing an Elephant Anyone who has once followed a traveling elephant will not show any undue haste to repeat the amusement. They sail along at an average pace of six miles an hour, regardless of the country, and stop for a bath or a short siesta perhaps once every three days. Anything more exasperating than following very fresh spoor at a dog trot, hour after hour in a blazing sun, only to find at a 'ate hour in the afternoon that one was forty miles from camp, with no food or water, and that the elephant had increased his lead from one mile to ten, it would be difficult to imagine.—Everybody's Magazine.

The foreign effort to throw discredit up- on American locomotives will not stay the development of a growing export trade in railway equipment.

Like many another hero, however, his nobility is not recognized by his neigh- bors. On the contrary, they look upon him as the meanest man they know. The impressive fact is not that the Americans who sat down with King Ed- ward the other day possessed so and so many millions. It is that when they got up from the table they retained their money. Baccarat for high stakes isn’t the thing now that Edward has ceased to be Prinse of Wales and has become Kine of Encland. It looks like a reaction against co-edu- cation. The management of Leland Stanford University announces that only a limited number of girls will be admit- ted after next year, while the Armour Institute at UhYeago has abandoned co- education with a “short, sharp shock,” leaving a class of forty-seven young women in their third year with no chance to graduate. _—_———— There can be no presumption that the inmates of a lunatic asylum are danger- ous cr unskillful workmen from the fact alone that they are insane, holds the Sa- preme court of California, in the case of Atkinson ys. Clark, and a superintendent of an insane asylum who allows some of the inmates to assist in tearing down a brick wall is not liable for an injury re- ceived by a regular workman, who was also engaged in the work, unless the evi- dence shows that the superintendent was careless or unskillful in the selection of the inmates. Some Americans are altogether too ready to make concessions. An upreflect- ing editor remarks: They are getting away ahead of us in the old country. At Vienna a diverced women’s club has been tormed to provide a home and remnnerative work for those who are obliged to earn their living. Getting ahead of the United States! Not by a good deal. If there were a di- vorced women’s club in this country nine- tenths of the persons eligible for member- ship would be married again before the organization had time to pass upon their applications. A portrait of the late President James Buchanan, painted by William M. Chase, and said to be a very excellent likeness, has been presented to the Mercersburg academy, in the Franklin county, Pa., borough of that name, by Mrs. Henry E. Johnston of Washington, D. C., who is better known, both in this country and in Europe, as Harriet Lane, the mistress of the white house under the administra- tion of President Buchanan. Mercers- burg is the birthplace of James Buchan- an, and it is therefore singularly appro- priate that his portrait should bang in the hall of its academy. The greatest gathering of Canadian troops since Confederation is to take place in Toronto during the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York. It is understood that the govern- ment, instead of having a number of reviews in different places, will make the military feature of the trip an attraction at one point only, and Toronto is the chosen city. Not less than 10,000 men are to be assembled in that city. They will be brought from every part of the Province of Ontario, and inelude all arms of the service. Pay and subsistence will be furnished by the Dominion govern- ment, the cost of transportation, etc., for the two or three days that the men will be away from their homes keing not less than S40.000_ According to a statement from the War Department, enlistments are pro- gressing at a satisfactory rate.

Investigations directed from Washing: ten discover 275 cases of leprosy in the ‘United States. It is thought this is barely a quarter of the aciuai cases existing. It is the intention of those who are compiling the figures to make a report to Congress, including such ree- ommendations as may seem warranted. One recommendation will be for the erec- tion of two large government hospitals for lepers, one in the South and the other in the North. It is noteworthy that nearly all the 275 reported victims are foreigners. The Scandinavians seemed peculiarly susceptible to the dis- ‘ease. They either had it when they landed in America or contracted it soon iatiee landing. Every one of the cases in the Dakotas and Minnesota is in the country, rather remote even from the small towns.

The mastiffs of the Knights of Rhodes knew a Turk from a Christian by the smell. Then there is the spaniei which saved the Dutch Republic by waking William the Silent during the night atttack on Mons.

People Tex: per What is Disagrecable with Good Humor. The author of “Life and Sport on the Pacific Slope” says that in assemblages where a little patience and good humor temper what is disagreeable the people of the Pacific slope are at their best. Once, at a performance of some play, several youths were guying the principal character, to the annoyance of everybody else. Suddenly a man said to them, very politely: “That lady on the stage is making so much noise that we cannot hear what you are saying. But I hope we shall have the peseure of listening to your criticisms later, when the act is over.” Silence followed the remark. At times something more forcible is needed. A certain woman had one day been rudely treated by a minor railway official. She was very indignant, and quite at a less for words; but she had a saving sense of humor, and turned to a stranger at her elbow. “Sir,” said she, ‘will you tell this man what I think of him?” The stranger, without betraying the least excitement, said in a melancholy drawl: “Sir, this woman thinks you are an | urderstrapper, clothed with a little brief authority, whose only qualification for ‘the place you occupy is your extraordi- nary impudence.” —It has been determined to form a company for the purpose of working the oil wells recently discovered at Belmont, near Lausanne, in Switzerland. #¢BE*NOT DECEIVED*- ®TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. i King of all Hair Tonics, | “ OZONO.” a @ pUr Se: he RS AN FORE. ‘° #AFTER. ’ ‘BEFORE. eee AFTER "a. —— ee a ee nee ee te 2 i. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that nee #qN of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race See 8 this great paper. In ‘the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. 8. M. Moore, through a fortunate G@\ circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and “4 met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored pe of f§\ that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every “ member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow £N long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Row, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there ure always a ‘a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other FEN people’s goods.

The Blue and the Gray Review Incidents of the Late War, and in a Graphic and Interesting Manner Tell of Camp, March and Battle. "I do not wonder," said the Captain, "that historians fail to give satisfactory descriptions of battles. The tendency is to sacrifice details to picturesque generalizations, and to eliminate whatever detracts from dramatic narrative, and the unmilitary writer is not conscious of creating false impressions when he does all this. In addition to this, materials for history, in the shape of official reports, letters of correspondents and carefully prepared papers by general officers, are not easily mastered by men and women unfamiliar with military maneuvers or incapable of considering judicially army prejudices and controversies. Then, again, battles seen from the standpoint of the commanding general do not closely resemble the same battles seen from the standpoint of the brigade commander or the man in the ranks, and little wonder is it that the lay reader is often confused as to facts. "Breckinridge's charge at Stone River on the 2d of January, 1863, has been described by hundreds of officers and military historians, and yet not one gives a picture of the battle on that day as I saw it. Nothing that appears in the official reports of Rosecrans, Crittenden or Palmer, or Bragg, or Breckinridge, shakes the impression or blurs the picture that holds possession of my mind. I read acquiescently the reports as to the situation on the morning of the 2d of January as to the position of the troops, as to what Rosecrans saw and surmised as to what new dispositions were made to meet the expected onslaught, as to what Maj.. Mendenhall did in concentrating artillery, as to what happened before the rebels reached the river, and what followed. But another picture comes up in my mind. "We were in Palmer's division and our brigade occupied a point of high ground that seemed to extend out tantalizingly toward the enemy. We had spent the greater part of the New Year's day and night in throwing up breastworks, and shortly after noon, on the 2d, we were lounging in line, arms stacked behind the works, gossiping over hardtack without coffee. There had been a good deal of noise, of course, but artillery firing didn't count with the boys, and just at that time there was a lull. It was so quiet that we distinctly heard the tramp of marching men, and, looking to our right, we saw a full division of our own troops massed in close battle order moving toward us. They came within a few hundred yards, and settled down like a great flock of blackbirds. Then another division settled down in the same way, a little to our left and rear. "We noticed that there was no talking among the men, that orders were given in low tones, and that the brigades were unaccompanied by batteries. We noticed also that there was a gathering of general officers in our rear, and that there was no firing along the line. There was so little noise and confusion that we heard Col. Granville Moody, sitting on his horse some little distance from us, say, 'May God have mercy on those poor men.' Looking then to the front we saw in the distance great orderly masses of gray pressing forward. On they came, line after line, until there were five lines visible, and then, while we stood gawking in amazement, there came down upon us a hail of bullets, knocking splinters of stone from our breastworks and splinters of wood from our guns, still stacked. "We dropped to the ground, crept to the gun-stacks, took our rifles, and fell into line along the breastworks. On the instant it seemed to me the heavy masses of men in blue on our left and right spread out like great fans and came into line of battle. Away in the distance to the left we saw our advance brigades crumble to pieces and the men come trailing back. At a signal, sixty pieces of artillery massed near us opened on the advancing Confederate column. We were in the midst of terrific battle before we realized it. "We could see then that there had been careful preparation for this attack. We knew that that long line of belching cannon was not there by accident. We knew that the divisions that had come over so quietly to us had been sent by some one who anticipated the attack, but to us the storm came like the sudden bursting of a hurricane. Minute after minute passed and still the sixty cannon roared and the ground in front was half hidden by smoke. Then suddenly all was still again, and looking forward we saw charging columns meet with a crash. We saw thin lines of our own men in blue plunge down into the smoky indistinctness of the conflict. Still we crouched with tense nerves, until the major general commanding the division said hoarsely, 'Go.' Then it seemed to me that the whole army swept forward. "When I read the accounts of the battle I know that this is not true, but the vision comes up of all the army in sight sweeping forward at a full run; of fleeing men in gray, of captured flags and artillery, until in the dusk we came squarely upon the intrenched lines of the rebel army and were recalled. Then I remember the elation with which brigadier and major general spoke to us and with what a quick, elastic step we returned to our old intrenchments. "The picture, as I see it, is that of the magnificent advance of Breckinridge's corps; the silent gathering of our own divisions to meet the attack; the mysterious, awesome silence that came just before the Confederates opened fire; the sheet of flame that came from the line of cannon, the magnificent counter-charge of the Union troops, and the retreat of Breckinridge's men, shattered and broken. In no official report, in no letter of any correspondent is the battle described as I saw it, and no historian gives an adequate idea of the tremendous activities of those three hours in which victory came to the Union army."—Chicago Inter Ocean. Found Her Boy. A Boston daily newspaper mentioned the other day, as an instance of patriotic fervor chastened by filial feeling, a youth who entered his name at a recruiting office, and enthusiastically told his friends he was going South with the Sixth Regiment. Three days later he was seen wearing a sober look, but bearing very quietly a great disappointment. His widowed mother had convinced him that he ought not go to the war, and had refused to sign her consent to his enlistment. His submission had a noble precedent in the boy George Washington, who joined the navy, but gave up his berth and his eager desire at the will of his mother. In connection with this we are reminded of a strange story told by the Portland, Maine, Express. A soldier, who had returned from Georgia with a recruiting detachment, said that when on the way South with his regiment, an elderly woman came to the car windows during the halt at Worcester, and with tears in her eyes gave him a letter to her son. Would he please try to find him? It was a blind commission—and a wild request—for she could only say that she thought her missing boy "might have enlisted somewhere;" but the soldier promised the woman that he would do all he could to find the wanderer. Arrived at Chickamauga he devoted some of his spare time to searching among the regiments there for the name that was on the outside of the letter. He was as much astonished as gratified when, after a two days' hunt, he found the very man. The stranger opened the letter, turning pale as he read it, and before he had finished it he fainted away. It appeared that this young man, when a boy at home nine years before, had become angry with his parents and had run away. In all this time he had not written to them, and they had no idea of his whereabouts or his fate. The strangely guided letter broke his hardened spirit, and he immediately wrote to his mother in a passion of remorse. "If I get out of this war alive," he told her, "I will come right home, and make up in the future for all the trouble I have made you and father suffer." War, like every other dark dispensation, has its bright episodes, and the agitation it creates now and then uncovers a hidden joy in an old sorrow. Youth's Companion. Thanked and Damne3. Gen. Felix Agnus, proprietor of the Baltimore American, and one of the bravest and most popular of Maryland's soldiers in the Union army during the War of the Rebellion, tells this story of his experience during the troublous times of the early '60's: "I was wounded at the battle of Gaines' Mills. The bullet entered my chest and shattered my shoulder bone, and I fell unconscious. When my senses returned I found that a Confederate, also wounded, had fallen across me, for the battle had been a hand-aoh-hand affair. The man was faintly whispering for water. I lifted up my canteen—it was filled with cold coffee—and handed it to him. He took a long drink and handed the canteen back to me. 'Yank,' he said, 'thank you.' And then he added, with equal sincerity: 'D—n you.' "Not long ago," continued Gen. Agnus, "I was in the Carrollton Hotel in Baltimore, when a party of ex-Confederates who were giving a dinner captured me and took me as a prisoner into the banquet-room. They called on me for a speech and I told them the story of the man with whom I had shared my canteen when we were both wounded on the battlefield, expressing my admiration for the spirit which thanked me and d——d me in the same breath. The next day a fine-looking gentleman called upon me at my office. He had heard my story, he said, and had come to tell me that he was the wounded soldier. From that day to this we have been the best of friends." A story which illustrates the power of women in time of war is related of Mother Bickerdyke, who was with the Western army and who now resides in the State of Kansas and has celebrated her seventieth birthday. She had but little respect for the red tape that some of the army surgeons dotted so much upon. They complained at headquarters, and one day Gen. Sherman asked her from whom she received her orders. Her quick response was, "From the Lord Almighty, and," said she, "there's no man in this army that outranks Him." Gen. Sherman replied, very thoughtfully, "I reckon that's true, and only one woman, and that's Mother Bickerdyke."

"SPARE THE OLD WOMAN." Limit to Contributions to Jackson's Matrimonial Ventures. A good story is told in Missouri at the expense of its once famous governor, Claiborne F. Jackson. Before he solved the enigma of love-lock he had married five sisters—in reasonable lapses of consecutiveness. After one wife had been lost and appropriately mourned he espoused another, and he kept his courting within a narrow circle of his own relatives, for he rather liked the family. The antiquated father of these girls was almost deaf, and when the governor went to this octogenarian to ask for his surviving daughter the following conversation ensued: "I want Lizzie!" "Eh?" "I want you to let me have Eliz-a-beth!" "Oh, you want Lizzie, do you? What for?" "For my wife!" "For life?" "I want—to—marry—her!" "Oh, yes! Just so. I hear you, boy." "I'm precious glad you do!" muttered the governor. "Well," slowly responded the veteran. "you needn't hallo so that the whole neighborhood knows it! Yes; you can have her. You've got 'em all now. my lad; but for goodness' sake, if anything happens to that 'ere poor misguided gal, don't come and ask me for the old woman!" Jackson solemnly promised that he never would -Tit-Bits. Chappie's Shave. He was one of these smooth-faced young men who chew gum because it's ladylike and smoke cigarettes because it's manly. He couldn't have stood under the mistletoe in a shirtwaist for five minutes without tempting something with a deep bass voice and whiskers to meander that way. "Hair cut?" asked the barber, as he threw his head back on the rest. "Naw, course not!" indignantly replied the customer. "Can't yer see I want a shave?" The barber heaved a weary sigh as he lathered the face, which looked like an advertisement for somebody's complexion balm. Then he picked up a neck razor, whipped it over the strop once and scraped the lather off with the back of the instrument. "By Jove, a shave makes a man feel better?" ejaculated the smooth-faced one, rubbing his hand gently over his skin. "That's the fourth one c' them things today," growled the barber.—Denver Times. -In India if you see a quantity of strings tied from side to side of the street, with three-cornered pieces of paper fastened to them, you may know that a birthday is being celebrated in one of the houses.

Manitowoc, Wis., June 18.—[Special.] ~Yesterday afternoon George “erris, who was found guilty of highway rob- bery in the circuit court by the jury last week, was sentenced by Judge Kirwan to two-years’ imprisonment in the state reformatory at Green Bay. Before sen- tence was passed upon him, upon being asked by the judge what he had to say, Ferris arose, and with tears in his eyes he told the court that he was innocent of the charge and had tried faithfully to do his work wherever employed. ‘Only the day before was he united in mar- riage to Miss Grace Hoeffner of this city, in the corridor of the county jail, in the presence of a few intimate friends. The engagement of the couple took place several months ago, but the arrest of Ferris on a serious charge interfered with their plans. Nevertheless, even aft- er Ferris had been declared guilty and was awaiting a sentence to state prison, the girl remained true and insisted that the marriage take face. Sheriff Pierre Burt left today with Ferris for the Green Bay reformatory. TAT 7 RUN SPREADING FIRE. —_—_-—___ Joseph Pannenbacker and James Nelson of Racine Are Fata!l- ly Injured.

The in- cumbent is a resident of Marathon county and an effort was recently made to move the pustomice from the county line so as to be entirely in that county. At about this time a Clark county man asked Congressman sch to secure his appointment as postmaster, while the present postmaster relied upon Congress- man Brown to hold his job. Congress- men Esch and Brown, ee Hicks and Secretary of State Froehlich conferred and ‘have decided to treat the law as not operative until 1903. FELL ON HIS HEAD.

If patent laws are another reliance of the trusts, why should we hes. itate to throw open to general use, in re- turn for a reasonable compensation, ev- ery patent that is emplozed hereafter for monopolistic ends? ese remedies would at least moderate the exactions of many of tne trusts, and no further experience of greater knowledge ought to be needed to Somonstrate the wisdom of employing all such means that stand so near at hand.—Atlantic Monthly.

NOT HEAVY BETTORS. Americans Wager Small Sums Only, Simply for Sport's London, June 15.—Racing continues to drag crowds of fashionable people and the Ascot meeting next week promises to be quite the function of the year, despite the absence of the royal procession and the curious sight of the royal stand draped with black. Orders have been issued that all persons entering the royal enclosure shall be dressed in mourning, though girls will be permitted to wear white. Even under these restrictions the applications for admission to the enclosure have already far exceeded the available space. Foxhall Keene has gone to Paris, expecting to win the Grand Prix with Olympian tomorrow. Although the horse has been kept going since the Derby he has gone to France in better condition than ever. Mr. Keene, discussing the effect of the American invasion of English racing, said it had been all for the benefit of the English turf. "We have brought good horses over," continued Mr. Keene, "and your handicappers seem to appreciate them so highly that they generally race them at about the top of their handicap. This is a compliment we could sometimes do without. There are more than 400 American horses in training in England, and there will be more next year. American trainers are equal to any, though an Englishman trains my horses. Wishard, who trains Mr. Croker's, and Huggins, who trains for Mr. Whitney, cannot be beaten at their work. The English jockeys have learned a lot from ours. You see it daily. Altogether, Americans have improved English racing." Americans Not Heavy Bettors. Mr. Keene says the Americans are not heavy bettors, contrary to general supposition, but they do bet a little for sport's sake. When the Ascot racing is over the scene of gaiety will be transferred to Henley. Indications point to the fact that there will be an unprecedented number of houseboats lining the Thames for the aquatic festival. Almost all the available rooms at Henley have already been engaged, and the University of Pennsylvania may find difficulty in getting suitable quarters. Their coming is eagerly awaited. All expert opinion is suspended until they are seen in trial spins. Houseboats are renting for the race week at 100 to 300 guineas, while houses are fetching the first figure. Altogether, whatever the Pennsylvanians do, they will not have to complain of lack of spectators or interest. An important book which will be published early this autumn is a biography of Lord Milner, by Iyan Muller. The author and Lord Milner were in school together and subsequently were intimate at Oxford and have been life-long friends. Mr. Muller visited Lord Milner at Cape Town, and was admitted to his confidence in al lmatters relating to South Africa. The book will describe Lord Milner's career in Ireland and Egypt, and will contain a complete revelation of the difficulties with which his work in South Africa has been beset. Dances and Dinners. Any number of dances and dinners occurred in London this week. At nearly all of them American were prominent, notably at Carl Meyer's party Thursday at which Sarah Bernhardt and Coquelin acted a short comedy. Among the American present were Mrs. George Cornwallis West, Lady Cunard, Lady Clandebeye, the Hon. Mrs. Eaton, Miss Ward, Reginald Ward, Mesdames Leggett, Adair Ronalds, "Jack" Leslie. Newhouse and J. Ridgely, J. R. Carter, second secretary of the United States embassy, and Mrs. Carter, Countess Seilern and Lady Grey Egerton, while among the other guests were Alfred de Rothschild, the Austrian ambassador, Count Deym, Lady De Grey and the Countess of Shrewsbury and Annsley. Parliament is Slow. "If the houses of Parliament had the energy and enthusiasm of the new bishop of London, the metropolis would soon be in a fair way to nave rapid transit. As it is a slow-going legislative body, it is holding committee investigations and wasting time when, as the bishop says, twenty tubes are needed to carry the working people in and out of London. The joint committee received testimony yesterday from the traffic managers of the omnibus associations to the effect that the tubes would not take off a single omnibus between Paddington and Victoria and along other important routes, and consequently would only injure one another and be of no advantage to the public. When the joint committee is occupied in this way capitalists and suburban residents despair of practical relief measures for the present block in traffic. There is little probability that any effective legislation will be enacted before the adjournment of Parliament, and this will involve the postponement of scores of measures for another year, when public interest will be centered on the coronation. YANKEE METHODS IN ENGLAND Matchmakers Wouldn't Combine, So Americans Started Plants. Sighing for fresh worlds to conquer, the Americans have invaded the match trade of Great Britain with an enterprise which threatens trouble for old-fashioned money-making concerns. The way they have done it illustrates the keen commercial spirit of the modern Yankee. It is an object lesson in American methods and Yankee push. In 1897 the first steps were taken by the great Diamond Match trust of Chicago. Ill., and everywhere else in the United States. Smart agents came over to England with instructions to make a foothold for the trust. It is said that they first tried to amalgamate existing English companies. Failing to bring these great concerns into one huge combine with themselves, the trust agents set about the task of cutting them out on their own lines. In this way they have been partially successful. At Linacre, near Bootle, they have built a great factory, employing 900 hands. The works cost at the outset £100,000, and were capable from the first of an output of 15,000 gross of boxes a day, each containing from 50 to 65 matches, which, reckoning it at the lowest figure, makes 108,000,000 matches a day. Not bad for a start. In this factory the Americans make a match which has filled the English matchmaking concerns with a certain amount of reasonable alarm. It is the same size and shape as the neat little wax vesta with which everyone is nowadays familiar, but it is made of wood. Millions of matches made of wood are sold by the English firms every day. The American article, however, is not the great bundle of square-cut logs which some firms sell, nor the frail splinters which come from Norway and Sweden. It is up in boxes labeled "Swan Matches," and "Encourage Home Industries," is clean, smooth, round, pleasant to look upon and good to handle; it is no bigger than the wax match, though it hardly burns as long, and—is 40 per cent. cheaper to the trade! Chinese Barbers. The barber's calling is supported by government. What if his little squat razor only covers an inch or two at the time and makes the operation unnecessarily tedious; he has the advantage of knowing that he represents lawful authority, somewhat as a public vaccinator does at home. He ought never to suffer from being out of work. Then his perquisite, the combing, makes up for natural deficiencies. He can sell at clear profits tails of his own collecting and making. Perhaps the fact that Chinese hair offers very little variety in color simplifies this article of commerce. The more sable the better; children's heads are shaven in order that it may be black and thick as possible. Black is much more cheerful, a Chinaman plaits white silk into his hair when he goes into mourning. Tales of a tail might be multiplied. The Chinaman's is more expressive than any that has not the power to wag with satisfaction or droop with dismay. For convenience in work it is fastened up in a coil; but for a man to speak to his superior without letting it down is an insult. No Christian would enter church in this dishabille; a stranger might possibly do so, and in such a case, before beginning the service, the officiating minister would fix him with a glance and politely—for the natives expect politeness under all circumstances—address him: "Sir, will you kindly let down your tail?"—From the Quiver. Dyspepsia Most people eat more than is good for them. The stomach tries to digest all that's put into it, but if repeatedly overloaded, it goes on a strike. That's indigestion. Rich, over-sweet, indigestible food weakens the stomach and makes it unable to take care of the material put into it. More food taken into a weakened stomach than the stomach can digest, stays there, forms gases and rots, bringing on all the horrors of dyspepsia. The only way to cure dyspepsia is to clean out the digestive canal with CASCARETS. Keep it clean with Cascarets, eat light food sparingly, and give the stomach a chance to rest up and get strong again. Be sure you get the genuine CASCARETS! when he is pr. losing to a heiress, do you? —Indianapolis Journal. "For six years I was a victim of dyspepsia in its worst form.

The Royal Humane society of London has a gold medal which it awards annually to the man who in its opinion may be rightfully regarded as "the bravest man of the year." The award was made recently for 1900, and the medal went to William Allen, a Sunderland sailor, who left the sea about three years ago. On March 15, 1900, word was brought to Allen that three men were overcome by the fumes of tar gas, and were overcome by the fumes of tar gas, and were lying unconscious at the bottom of a still. Allen fastened a rope round himself and dashed into the still, and in a few seconds came out with one of the men. A second time he entered and yet a third, until the three men were rescued. Each time Allen risked his life in the venture. The case was brought to the attention of the Royal Humane society and it was resolved to award the medal to Allen, as "the bravest man of the year" among those whose gallantry in saving life had been brought before the society in 1900. Allen is said to be a typical seaman—quiet, modest and of excellent character.—Leslie's Weekly. A Pike County Miracle. Velpin, Ind., June 17.—Wm. O. B. Sullivan, farmer of this place, and who is a brother of ex-Representative Sullivan of Pike and Dubois Counties, has had a remarkable experience recently. Mr. Sullivan is 49 years of age, and has been a citizen of Pike County for thirty years. For two years he has suffered much with Kidney Trouble and Rheumatism. His shoulders and side were very sore and stiff, and his back was so bad he could hardly straighten up at all. He had palpitation of the heart, and a smothering which was very distressing. He used three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and is as strong and well as ever he was. He pronounces his cure a miracle. Mr. Sullivan's statement of his case is startling: "A month ago I was a cripple. Today I can do a hard day's work every day, and have not a single ache or pain." Dodd's Kidney Pills have done some wonderful cures in Indiana, but none more miraculous than that in the case of Mr. Sullivan. Bread and Cheese. A couple advanced in years got married lately. The husband had a room in the house securely locked, the inside of which his wife had never seen, and, being curious as to its contents, she begged again and again to see the room. At last he consented, and, lo and behold, the room was full of whole cheeses! He explained matters by telling her that for every sweetheart he had in his young days he bought a cheese. His wife began to cry. "Don't cry, dear," he continued. "I've had no sweetheart since I met you." "It's not that," she replied, still sobbing. "I only wish I had been as thoughtful as you and bought a loaf of bread for every man that kissed me. We could have had bread and cheese enough to last us all our days."—London Tit-Bits. Washington: Designed for Lawmakers Washington; Designed for Lawmakers According to the New York Herald Washington is the only modern capital (except St. Petersburg), that was originally designed and laid out as a capital city. Likewise, the federal capitol has the unique honor of being the first building in history erected simply to hold a Legislature. The Roman Senate met in a temple, as did all ancient deliberative bodies. Mediaeval Legislatures were convened in palace halls or in monastic or semi-religious establishments. Even the state houses of our colonies were designed to shelter the entire government—legislative, executive and judicial. But the capitol at Washington was planned to hold the lawmakers of the nation and for no other purpose. A Swiss Baden Baden. Geneva, Switzerland, is trying to attract sinful tourists.

The first Irish potatoes grown in New Mexico were raised by Adjt.-Gen. Henry C. Corbin. That was over twenty years ago. Corbin was then a major serving on the frontier posts, hundred of miles from civilization. Part of his work—and no small part of it—was to get suitable provisions for his men. Fresh vegetables in New Mexico were almost impossible to be had, and were correspondingly craved by the soldiers. Having been brought up on a farm, Maj. Corbin took an interest in the problem of growing things for the use of the post, and particularly in the possibilities of irrigation. One day it occurred to him by tapping a spring in the hillside and digging a ditch he might irrigate about an acre of ground, and that it would be a good scheme to plant the acre with potatoes. When he mentioned his plan he was scorned. He was told potatoes would not grow in New Mexico, and was reminded that there was no seed. There was not a potato short of "the States." But he was determined to try; so he sent for two bushels. They were sent "by the pound," and when they arrived the bill for them was $36. He cut them up carefully himself and assisted in putting the eyes into the ground. Then he superintended their cultivation and irrigation. When digging time finally arrived there was joy in the camp. "We sent them all around to the officers and men," the general relates, "and there never were potatoes like them. I have eaten potatoes before and since. I have eaten fine dinners and sat through elaborate banquets in later years; but nothing has tasted or will ever taste as did these potatoes. The fame of them went abroad, and the seed from my patch started the potato industry in the South-west." A $5 A DAY COMPLEXION. How One of Paris' Favorite Actresses Retains Her Beauty. Apropos of complexions, the great secret of one of Paris' favorite actresses has just been feloniously disclosed by a spiteful French newspaper. This actress has been "no longer young" for years. But she has the complexion of a girl of 17, much to the chagrin of her rivals and the mystification of everyone who knows her. The story is afloat now that it is not the lady's own fair skin which has so marvelously withstood fell time's defacing hand. The credit for the victory is said to belong to an inventive hairdresser. This great artist has made an epidermis of goldbeater's skin which is perfectly transparent and exquisitely supple. It is delicately and carefully tinted a beautiful pale blush-rose hue, and has the soft texture of the peach. The artist has turned out a stock of thousands of these wonderful masterpieces, each of which is flawless. A fresh one is worn by the actress in question every day. It absolutely escapes detection, as it fits with mathematical exactness into every dimple of the face. It cannot crack, and it yields to every movement of the face—except those produced by laughter. Thus the lady, though she cannot be boisterously merry, can smile gayly, sadly, or archely, as circumstances may require. It is to be noted (so goes the story still) that she only wears her artificial skin in private life, never on the stage, presumably owing to the fact that it would prove a serious hindrance to facial expression of any pronounced kind, either comic or tragic. The price which the lady is said to pay for the privilege of eternal beauty is $5 a day.—New York Commercial Advertiser. Chapel of the Pyx. The ancient Chapel of the Pyx at Westminster is to be thrown open to the public. This is one of the oldest and most interesting parts of the Abbey, the greater part of the fabric belonging to the reign of Edward the Confessor. It was used in early Norman times as a royal treasury, and a robbery from the chapel in the reign of Edward I. of treasure valued at £100,000 created a great deal of stir. Later is was used as a record chamber for the treasury, and more recently as a receptacle for the apparatus necessary for the trial of the Pyx—the standardizing of the coin of the realm. The documents formerly deposited in the Pyx chapel have been removed and henceforth the public will have the privilege of penetrating the recesses of this mysterious chamber.—Newcastle (Eng.) Chronicle. A Literary Recipe. To sell 1,000,000 copies in England, or even 500,000 of a book, says the London Sphere, you would have to provide all kinds of vulgar sensation, or a great amount of more or less foolish religiosity, which a mass of readers would need to mistake for profound thought. BOYS WHOTRAIN FOR JOCKEYS Schools Where Grit, Nerve and Muscle Are Developed. When a boy enters a jockey school, he shuts the world behind him, like t. num that walls herself within a convent. All energy of body and soul is consecrated to his craft. To him life means the clank of the bridle, the hoof thud, the smell of straw and the bookmaker's cry. He never learns anything unrelated to this life. Of a dozen stable boys I found only two, says Allen Sangree, that could name the governors of their respective states. Most of them believed Roosevelt to be simply a Rough Rider, and knew him as Teddy. Only one could tell me his present office. What they do develop is a savage grit that lets them nudge death familiarly with a smiling face, a forearm and leg of flexible steel, and wits unnaturally keen on a single line. And also that pitiful legacy of the veteran trainer—crabbed age of mind behind a baby face. You have the living picture of it all in 14-year-old Johnny Reiff, who earns in a year more than a dozen college professors. The early training of a jockey is thorough, severe and relentless. The boys sleep in a stable loft over the horses. Summer and winter they are awakened at daybreak by a groom pounding on the boards. They jump into their clothes, shivering in the early morning's chill, and hurry to a pump, where a douse of cold water sweeps away the cobwebs of sleep. Then to the horses, and for two hours each boy "exercises his string." A "string" consists of two horses, and "exercising" means walking them about the track until they are agreeably warm. After breakfast—and the food of a jockey school is of the most nourishing sort—the youngsters exercise another "string," and employ an hour or more in doing chores. The afternoon they spend at the track, and by 8 o'clock in the evening they must be abed. Plenty of time is allowed them for recreation. The trainers encourage the boys in such sports as swimming, running and ball playing. By constant practice of open air diversions, Ted Sloan has maintained his excellent condition. To this day he will leap a five-foot fence rather than go through the gate. Marbles is the favorite game of stable boys. After winning a $25,000 race at Manchester last year, Johnny Reiff was found deeply interested playing marbles, while Lord Rosebery was waiting outside the naddock to congratulate him."—Ainslee's Magazine. Kinship of Kings of Europe. The sovereign families of Europe, despite all political differences, form one vast family, closely bound by ties of blood and innumerable intermarriages. This will be understood better when it is stated that every crowned head in Europe at the present moment is descended from Mary Queen of Scots, with the exception of the King of Sweden (who is the descendant of Bernadotte, one of Napoleon's chessmen), the King of Servia (who was recently but a peasant) and the Princes of Monaco and Montenegro. Common origins could be found further back than Mary, while some monarchs, like the German Emperor and the Czar of Russia might be descended differently by following the male line. There has been no room to show that the King of Roumania claims Mary as his ancestor. Mary Queen of Scots has over 1180 descendants living.—London Sphere. 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.

Then there are the spiders, which constantly let themselves up and down by almost invisible silken threads of their own spinning. What may be called the genuine silk-spinning spiders, however, are distinguished from the common web-spinners by the nature of their product. It is a true silk, strong, elastic, beautifully lustrous, and produced more abundantly in proportion to food than the ordinary filament. Stockings and mittens have been knitted of the spider silk. The only bar to its production in commercial quantities is the warlike habits of the insects.—London Express. Wheat Brings Good Cheer in Kansas. Commencing in the latter part of May and extending far into July the great wheat belt of Kansas is, perhaps, the liveliest place in the world. For the thirty days of harvest season the golden grain is reaped at the rate of $2,000,000 per day. The farmers are growing rich at the rate of $1000 per minute. But they forget all this and are pessimistic until after the grain has been placed behind granary doors and covered by fire insurance.
