Wisconsin Weekly Advocate

WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE TO THE PUBLIC. Since our last issue the editor and proprietor of this paper pleaded guilty to a charge of criminal libel preferred against him by Steven A. Robinson of this city, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $200 and costs or serve a term in the house of correction. The alleged libelous article for which the editor must endure incarceration was one published in this paper, and in the absence of positive proof that the facts therein alleged were true it was undoubtedly libelous. The editor himself did not write the article in question. It was written for him in his absence by another gentleman—a nonresident of Milwaukee, temporarily left in charge of this paper, and of many years' experience as a newspaper editor and writer. Nevertheless, Editor Montgomery was responsible for everything contained in his paper. He might have shifted his responsibility, but preferred honorably and conscientiously to assume the full burden and suffer accordingly. The little handful of colored men who were present in court and who during this trouble have left no stone unturned to bring about the disgrace of Editor Montgomery and his paper, will now retire to their respective homes and rub their hands in joyful glee at the success of their campaign of villification and revenge. But it is a question whether he or they have been made to suffer most in the estimation of the public. The crusade against Mr. Montgomery has all along been founded upon spite, jealousy, envy and malicious ill-will. Mr. Montgomery came to this city under difficulties, without a cent in his pocket. He founded, edited and has for four years maintained the only successful newspaper ever established in the state of Wisconsin by colored people. From the time of its publication till the present moment it has never missed an issue. During that time it has been the only organ in the state through which the colored man might speak unreservedly to the general public. It has voiced his sentiments and aired his grievances. Heretofore when the Negro was deprived of his rights or suffered at the hands of the white man, he carried his complaint to the editor of a white man's newspaper, who either published such or refused to do so, as he saw fit. In many instances where publication was secured the article would be garbled and emasculated so as to cast a reflection upon, instead of being a vindication of, the colored man. One would think that in consideration of these advantages the colored man would realize the great value to him of such an organ as the Wisconsin Weekly Advocate. Those who DO were not present in court and took no part in this damnable persecution of Editor Montgomery. The hatred, jealsousy and dislike which brought this about was not confined to colored men entirely. Certain public officials have felt the sting of the editor's pen and in the NOBILITY of their nature have used the complainant in this case as a tool to get even with the editor. But if these pigmies think that they have accomplished their well-known desire to bring about the suspension of the Advocate, they have made the greatest and gravest mistake in their lives. Since his incarceration Editor Montgomery has been overwhelmed with messages of condolence and sympathy from many prominent citizens of the state, without regard to party or politics. A movement has been set on foot to which the press and public are subscribing liberally, and within a few days the sum of $218.90 will be added to the credit of the treasury of Milwaukee county and Editor Montgomery will continue to swing his pen, more vigorously than ever—a terror to all evil-doers, particularly to certain would-be leaders of the Negro race and certain officers of Milwaukee county. Had the editor been able to find his witnesses and bring them within reach of the sheriff's subpoena the result would have been very different. Trades Unionism and the Brotherhood of Man. The strike of the machinists at present in progress in Milwaukee has been conducted to all outward appearance in an orderly manner: that is, there has been no rioting and no acts of personal violence. While this is so, there has been an undercurrent of what is, in our opinion, no less lawlessnes than either of these offenses. It is an undeniable fact that to every person in this country is granted the right to earn a living, to make a competency, or to amass a fortune, in proportion to the capabilities given him and the opportunities which occur and are taken advantage of at the right moment. Any act of any person or combination of persons militating against this right must be looked upon as subversive of this constitutional and inherent right of mankind. Employees have a perfect right to refuse to work except upon certain conditions which they settle among themselves, but they certainly have no right to prevent or seek to prevent others from doing that which they themselves are not inclined to do. That this has been done during the present dispute must be admitted by those chiefly concerned. The practice of "picketing" is, in our humble opinion, a clear violation of the law of the land. It is something like the permissive bill of the Prohibition party, and may be expressed thus: "Permit me to prevent you from earning an honest living." That the practice of "boycotting" verges upon the illegal must be apparent to all philosophical minds, but it is dangerously near that borderland. It is true, that one cannot be compelled not to purchase goods at some specified place, but when men combine to ostracize any person who does so, it is a question whether this also is not an interference with the liberty of mankind. When such acts are made to redound upon the innocent family of the victim the height of smallness and meanness is reached and bears its own condemnation. We sympathize with the employes in their endeavor to shorten their hours of labor and trust that a settlement in that direction will soon be reached. To our mind it would have been reached before this if employers and employes were allowed to meet each other as men and settle their differences without the intervention of so-called trade leaders, who have their own ends to serve, their own bread and butter to make, and who often have not the true principles of unionism engrained in them, or if they have, do not act upon them. Mr. Powderly recently showed this very clearly in an interview he had with three of these same gentlemen, who came to present some arguments to him. He conclusively proved that although in the daily habit of blowing plenty of "hot air" about unionism and the brotherhood of man they yet smoked nonunion cigars and wore nonunion-made hats, coats and shoes. The young and enterprising firm of Vilter & Co. have shown commendable firmness in not submitting to the dictation of those so-called labor leaders, while at the same time showing their willingness to confer on all points with their employees for their mutual interest. It is to be hoped that by the time this article appears the consummation so devoutly to be wished may be realized. The objections to trades unions, which all newspapers representing the colored race must have, lies in the antagonism of these unions to the colored workman. Where does the brotherhood of man exhibit itself in this feeling and action? Deeds speak more strongly than words, and until this feeling is eradicated we must continue to pray: God save us from trades union bossism. The National Negro Business League. We have much pleasure in acceding to the personal request of Mr. Booker T. Washington, and herewith draw the attention of our readers to the forthcoming second annual session of the National Negro Business League to be held in Chicago in the latter part of August. The call, a synopsis of which we given below, explains itself; but we would urge upon all the colored business men of the city and state to take the matter into serious consideration and show by their appearance at the session in August that Wisconsin men are not falling behind the times. After full consideration and consultation with officials of the National Negro Business league and friends throughout the country, it has been decided to call the next session of the league to meet at Chicago, Ill., Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 21, 22 and 23. The citizens of Chicago are enthusiastic over the prospects of the meeting and stand ready to give those who attend it a cordial welcome. Any person engaged in any commercial enterprise or properly delegated to represent any individual or individuals engaged in commercial enterprises, is entitled to membership under such regulations as may be adopted. Women as well as men engaged in business should be represented. It is strongly urged that Local Business leagues be established in every part of the country where no such leagues now exist and those already organized be strengthened wherever necessary, and that these local leagues send delegates, as far as possible, to the National organization. Every one engaged in business owes it to himself to take a week or more of vacation each year for the purpose of rest and recreation and for the purpose of getting new ideas. It is the desire of the officers of the league to make a large exhibit of photographs at Chicago of the places of business of our people as well as of the persons engaged in business. These photographs should show both outside and inside views as far as possible, and they should be forwarded to the president of the league at Tuskegee, Ala., as early as convenient. The time has come for the race to take a long step forward in establishing itself permanently and more generally in the business of the community where it resides. Let no legislation or attempted legislation discourage or dishearten us. There should be no doubting or halting. Every move should be a forward one. To gain recognition and success we may have to struggle harder and longer than others, but out of the very struggle we shall gain a strength that we can get in no other way. The influence and power of intelligence, high character and high standing in the business world, are sure to place the race in the end in a position where it will be honored and treated with justice in every part of the land. Let our watchword constantly be "Forward." Booker T. Washington, president, Tuskegee, Ala. T. Thomas Fortune, chairman, executive committee, 4 Cedar street, N. Y. E. E. Cooper, secretary, 459 C street, N. W. Washington, D. C. COLLEGE BRED NEGROES. Statistics Showing the Use to Which They Have Put Their Education. The fifth number of the Atlanta university publications has just appeared, and is entitled "The College Bred Negro." It is an attempt to study the work of the Negro college graduates both North and South, and to estimate the value and probable future of the Southern college for colored people. According to this report, there have been about 2500 Negro college graduates. Of the larger Northern institutes, Harvard has 11 Negro graduates, Yale and the University of Michigan 10 each, Cornell 8, Columbia 4 and Pennsylvania 4. Of the smaller colleges, Oberlin leads with 128 graduates, the University of Kansas 16 and Bates 15. The bulk of these graduates are Southern-born. Ninety per cent. of those born in the South stay there and work and 50 per cent. of those born in the North come South and labor among their people. About 10 per cent. of these graduates are women. Most of the graduates marry between the ages of 25 and 35, and while their families are not large, they are of healthy and normal size. The most interesting question and in many respects the crucial question to be asked concerning college-bred Negroes is: "Do they earn a living?" It has been intimated more than once that the higher training of Negroes has resulted in sending into the world of work men who can find nothing to do suitable to their talents. Now and then there comes a rumor of a colored college man working at menial service, etc. Fortunately the returns as to occupation of college-bred Negroes are quite full—nearly 60 per cent, of the total number of graduates. Of 1132 persons reporting, over half are teachers, a sixth are preachers, another sixth are students and professional men; over 6 per cent, are farmers, artisans and merchants, and 4 per cent, are in government service. Most of these do not change their occupation often and stick to their callings—nearly 30 per cent. have been employed at their present occupations ten years and over. The total assessed value of real estate reported is $1,342,862.50 and the average per individual $2411. There is a most interesting symposium on the Negro problems and their probable solution, bibliography of works by Negroes and the opinion of a number of prominent Northern college presidents and others on the higher training of Negroes. In nearly every case these favor such training properly given to competent students. It is shown that colored students contribute very nearly as much toward the expenses of their training as whites. The final conclusions of the study are: 1. The great mass of the Negroes need common school and manual training. 2. There is a large and growing demand for industrial and technical training, and trade schools. 3. There is a distinct demand for the higher training of persons selected for talent and character to be leaders of thought and missionaries of culture among the masses. 4. To supply this demand for a higher training there ought to be maintained several Negro colleges in the South. 5. The aim of these colleges should be to supply thoroughly trained teachers, preachers, professional men and captains of industry. It is, however, earnestly recommended that this college work be concentrated in about twelve high-grade institutions in the South instead of scattered as it is now in thirty-four. To Fight for Our Rights Chicago, Ill., June 24.—Lynching Negroes will be classed as crime instead of the expression of popular sentiment if a movement which has been started among the Negroes of Chicago becomes the success its promoters expect. The prosecution of the lynchers is one of the methods by which the improvement of the condition of the race is to be brought about. To accomplish this funds will be solicited with which to hire detectives to catch lynchers, and attorneys to prosecute them. The movement has taken the form of an organization known as the Black Cross federation. A fight for the rights of full citizenship will also be carried on in those states in which the Negroes have been disfranchised. The Visible Stars. To the average eye not more than 5000 stars are visible; some persons having extraordinarily strong eyes can see about 8000 stars. Through the Lick telescope and other powerful instruments about 50,000,000 stars are visible. There are believed to be stars in existence beyond the reach of any telescope yet constructed.

One Sunday recently a young woman in a bizarre surf costume while about to test the temperature of the Atlantic ocean at Rockaway Beach was attacked by a dog. More recently a well-known society girl of Brooklyn, known as one of "the heavenly twins," was shot at five times by an irate householder who took exceptions to her bicycle costume. The heavenly twins, otherwise the Misses Bowen, have long been noted for the originality of their costumes, cycling and otherwise, and this is the combination that gave offense: Short raglan overcoats fastened with white satin bows instead of buttons; plaid bloomers of red, green and blue, tight fitting; golf stockings to match; tan shoes tied with ribbons of white satin and a buckle of quartz; sailor hats with crimson and white bands and quartz buckles; red cravats, with horseshoe pins and boutonieres of daisies. "And yet," sobbed one of the twins at the Coney Island police station. "a nasty man shot at me five times and said he'd shoot every time I passed in 'that rig.'" Big Printing Bills, Big Trade. Among the heavy expenses of the transatlantic lines are advertising in newspapers and magazines, and the printing of thousands of circulars and passenger lists, baggage tags and books descriptive of the vessels and service of the lines. The printing bills of the Hamburg-American and the North German Lloyd lines are respectively $100,000 a year, and the bills of the other lines somewhat less. The big lines expend little in insurance premiums. Nearly all have their own insurance funds, made up of the money that they would pay for premiums if they insured in any marine company. The insurance fund of the Hamburg-American line is about $3,000,000. The Cunard, the White Star, the American, the North German Lloyd have insurance funds below the figure.—Ainslee's Magazine. Thursday, June 20. Ancient Horse Died in Mires. The horse that Samuel Friedman pastured with J. C. Pfeiffer was an old one, according to the jury in Judge Williams' court. Moreover, according to the jury, the horse became mired and died through no fault or neglect of Mr. Pfeiffer, and accordingly the jury finds in his favor. Court Notes. H. F.

Joslin, a musician, filed suit in the circuit court today to recover $586.25 from the Western Union Telegraph company because of the alleged failure to deliver messages to him promptly. Mr. Joslin says he had made a contract with the manager of Phinney's band for employment, to begin when he should be summoned to Chicago by wire. A telegram was sent to him, addressed to the Soldiers' home, on July 1, which Mr. Joslin says he never received. A second telegram was sent the same day to 1810 State street that failed of delivery. A third telegram, Mr. Joslin says, was sent July 2, but was not delivered to him until the evening of July 5. He then went to Chicago, but it was too late. A Personal Injury Suit. Jacob Kurzawa filed suit to recover $20,000 from the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway company because of the loss of a leg and injuries to his arm. He was employed in the West Milwaukee shops.

By stipulation Judge Elliott listened to arguments today upon the appeal from the order of Judge Wallber in the Black estate holding the state legacy tax constitutional. The order of Judge Wallber was entered Friday. The courts and the attorneys are speeding the matter as much as possible in order than an early decision may be secured from the Supreme court. Court Notes. Mary Sullivan filed suit against John Guerin today to recover $150 damages growing out of a loan of a horse. The animal was loaned to Mr. Guerin for one week.

The estate is valued at $5000 and the heirs are three children and the heirs of a deceased child. RUSSIA BARS ENGLISH COAL. Important Patent for Coking Peat- Russia is about to try to do without English coal and coke. Hitherto the importation has reached the figure of about 20,000,000 roubles yearly. A large factory has been erected by the government near St. Petersburg, and a new patent is to be worked there for the coking of peat on a large scale. Experiments have already given the most brilliant results, showing very little less heat-giving power than is contained in coal. The peat, after treatment, costs one-third the price of coal. Russia possesses enormous tracts of peat, and the future of the process is practically assured. The new peat is being used on the Nikola railway, between St. Petersburg and Moscow. Many of the biggest manufacturers from the interior of Russia have come to St. Petersburg, at the invitation of the minister of finance, in order to test the patent fuel. Three reasons make this peat-coking process of the greatest importance to Russia. Firstly, it will put a stop to deforestation; secondly, it will enable the Ural mountain industries to be developed, and thirdly, the Russian fleet will be entirely independent of England for its coal supply.—London Daily Mail. Your Parasol A parasol cannot only make or mar a costume, but it can make or mar the complexion. A skin that shows glaring defects in the garish light of day becomes a thing of bewitching beauty under the rosy glow of a pink parasol, while a clear-skinned beauty may assume a sallow, jaundiced tone under the deadly rays of a green sunshade. So, in choosing your parasol, observe carefully the effect of its hue on your own complexion. To be sure, a woman gives a little mental shiver when she holds an umbrella or sunshade over her indoors. She knows it brings bad luck, and throwing a pinch of salt over the left shoulder won't dispel the hoodoo. Nevertheless it will be worse luck to get an unbecoming parasol. So, though the salegirl may be given a peachy complexion by its shade, don't rest satisfied by the effect on her, but brave the hoodoo and try the effect of the color on your own skin and eyes. The English parasol or the one trimmed on the inside is enjoying greater vogue than ever this year. And deservedly so. Nothing is so becoming as a frame for the face all face and chiffon ruffles and puffings over some color. This is achieved in the English sunshade, for the inside is a mass of lovely decoration, while the outside is usually plain or almost so. The variety of parasols is almost unlimited this year. The prices range from those at hundreds of dollars, real lace affairs with gem-set handles, to plain little taffeta ones at 75 cents and $1. In this wide range all tastes and purses can be suited. Those with grass linen covers over color are very popular for wear with linen gowns, and the pongee ones are equally liked by those who favor themish twine color in their costumes. That last word of Fashion, cretonne applique, is used with good effect on many of the season's parasols. One of whit silk was thus adorned, the applique being outlined with white rope silk and chenille. Another of white chiffon, gathered on white silk, had every other section decorated with a trace of soft pink silk roses with foliage. This is an idea a clever girl can adapt to her own parasol and change it with her different costumes. But no matter how lovely the sunshade, if it is not becoming, the good money paid for it is wasted. And if a simple little silk affair, whose cost is too small to mention, throws a bewitching halo over its pretty weaker, it has accomplished the chief aim of its existence. So study carefully color effects on your complexion when investing in your summer parasols. —Evening Telegraph, Philadelphia. Tasmanian Apple Orchards, Tasmanians plant apple trees close together. The average orchard is set out 10 feet apart, instead of 20 feet or 49 feet, and it is said that as much as 600 bushels are sometimes gathered from a single acre. WENT THROUGH TRESTLE.

Two sections of the train, one coming from Detroit and the other from ‘Toledo. were consolidated in this city into » train of eleven cars, making mp the flyer for its journey to St. Louis. These were Combination baggage and express, com bination baggage and smoker, day coach emigrant coach, three chair cars, three sleepers and the private car of Genera) Supt. William Cotten of the Iron Moun tain railway. Having left the city one hour late the train was speeding west ward at a high rate, when, at a point nine miles west, the engine plunged through a trestle which had been under mined by the recent heavy rains. Tie embankment on both sides of the Kittle stream dropped at a sharp degree a dis tance of forty feet. Owing to the mo- mentum of the train the engine appeared to Teap nearly across the abyss, plunged into the soft earth on the opposite side and fell back to the bottom. Engineer Butler and Fireman Adams were throw from the cab, but not seriously hurt. ‘The express car and the first chair car were telescoped. The emigrant car, followec by two chair cars, went down on the lefi side of the track and the first sleeper pitched forward upon the mass of debris Its windows and trucks were broken bnt none of the secre were injured ‘The remaining cars also left their trucks but were not badly damaged. It was ir the emigrant and day coaches that mos’ of the deaths and injuries occurred. Heavy foliage lined the banks on bott sides of the culvert. the approach tc which was over a “reverse curve.” Night Intensely Dark. ‘There was absolutely no means by which the engine crew could see the im pending danger. In fact, the engine rar out upon the trestle before the structure gave way. The night was intensely dark. For a few minutes after the fa tal plunge and dreadful roar of crashing timbers a death-like stillness prevailed which was only broken by the cries of the injured. zi Trainmen caught up their lanterns anc rushed to the neighboring farmhonset for assistance. The farmers, with thei avives and children bearing torches, hast ened to the scene and all efforts wer bent to giving first aid to the injured Telephone messages were Givpatened. te this city, and every physician was hur riedly taken to a special train. which car. ried them to the scene. The injurec were placed aboard the cars and broughi to the general hospital in this city, where everything possible was done to amelio rate their condition. Many operation: were necessary, the most notable oi which was the one performed on Johr Williamson, the news agent, a lad of 1+ years. Both the boy’s arms, both his legs and the right shoulder blade were broken. Under the surgeon's knife the lad bore up wonderfully and possibly may recover. For a time after the rescuers reached the scene of the wreck little could be done in the way of removing the dead Hundreds of tons of twisted iron and broken timbers rested upon the car where the unfortunate emigrants were crushed But by means of wrecking derricks the mass was gradually opened and by day light nearly all the dead had been re moved to this city.

FIRED ON BY A MOB. United States Deputy Marshals Are Put to Flight by Angry Coal Miners. Matewan, W. Va., June 25.—A formid- able mob of striking coal miners showed their angry condemnation of povernmee by injunction yesierday afternoon by fir- ie = a posse of United States deputy eauals and forcing them to flee from the fields. None of the marshals was wounded. but not a member of the posse dared venture again upon the scene of danger The mission of the federal agents here was to serve upon the strikers copies of Judge eumosy sweeping injunction is- sued a few days ago. Upon arrival here the officers proceeded at once to serving notices of the injunc- tion. A mob of strikers followed, armed to the teeth with firearms. On all sides could be heard-the cry, “Down with gov- ernment by injunction!” Men threatened them with their weapons, women calied down the vengeance of heaven upon them and children hurled stones. When night- fall came notice had been seryed on the strikers of all the coal companies but one and that was to be served at Lick Fork Coal and Coke company at Thacker. Fearing an ambush, they waited until orning and early yesterday set out for Thacker. Deputies Forced to Flee, Some time before noon they attempted to serve the injunction papers at- the above named colliery. A mob fo!lowed, .enraged to desperation at the sweeping character of the injunction. One reck- Jess fellow fired the first shot and quick as lightning the mountain sides reechoed with resounding reports that followed the crack of twenty or pie rifles. The deputies were forced to take refuge in fight and then barely escaped with their ives. The strike situation is assuming a crit- ical stage. Sheriff Hatfield has with- drawn all his deputies because, it is said, he does not believe in the policy being used to put down the strike. The Unit- ed States marshals have been left alone and after being chased from the fields it is believed that they will be strongly reinforced and ready to fight when they again appear to enforce the injunction. Said to Ignore Injunction. Tug river divides West Virginia from Kentucky. On each side the mountains are almost pee pers aiee, and the entire distance from bank to bank is not more than’ 500 7 On the mountain side of West_ Virginia the collieries are lo cated. On the Kentucky side are noth- ing but mountain paths. A lot of strik- ers, almost _1000 atone, have. crossed over into Kentucky and are occupying the mountain passes. Here they are out of reach of the deputy marshals and com- mand the entrances to the collieries. The strikers have nothing but hatred and contempt for the marshals, and it is said that at the mass meeting at Thacker on Saturday night they decided to ignore the injunction. Sheriff Hatfield and a force of picked men who reported for guard duty at the mines refused _to serve and returned to Williamson. Deputy Sheriff White said: “We declined to take a band in the con- troversy because the demand of the oper- ators that all intercourse between the strikers and the nonunion men be sus- pended was manifestly unjust. We agreed to preserve order, prevent inter- ference of a violent nature and protect mining property, but beyond this we could not in fairness go.” All Heavily Armed. The guards now on duty in the six col- Neries in the district are selected from ‘the ranks of nonunion men and number ‘all teld about 100. They are. heavily ermed. Thus far they have succeeded in enforcing the companies’ demand against trespassing by strikers. It is ex- pected that a crisis will be reached when writs of ejectment are served on strikers occupying company houses. _ ‘The union workers demand recognition of the union and claim that discrimina- tion is made in favor of nonunionists: The wage question does not figure. the wages paid averaging from $3 to $5 per day being entirely satisfactory. Thacker, W. Va., June 25.—Deptrty marshals who were fired on here while endeavoring to serve notices of injunc- tion on striking miners left last midnight for Charleston, having received orders from United States Marshal Thompson to come there at once. The mae ee tim: here is that they will be largely rein- forced and return, and that the state militia may be sent. While the United States marshals were in the station here last night waiting for the train crown, fifty shots were fired into the depot from the Kentucky side of the river. PUBLICLY SJAMBOKED. eee Jacobus Botha Is Severely Punished —War Cost England $6,000,- OOO a Week. Oape Town, June 25.—Jacobus Botha, the member of the Cape assembiy for Aliwal North, has been captured by the Boers and publicly sjamboked. In addi tion, his house was burned.

BOY KILLS A PORCH CLIMBER Fires Shotgun Into Tree and Brings Down a Crook. Monroe, Mich., June ne on top of a_porch awakened the family of J. W. Foster. Jay. Foster, aged 18, icked up a shotgun and went to the Front door to investigate. He fired both barrels into a tree that overhung the porch to scare away the supposed bur- gilars, and was horrified when the body of William Breckinridge, a local crook, came crashing through the branches. Breckinridge was instantly killed by the heavy charge of shot. "About Canaries. Canaries, which were originally green and gray in color, were native to the is- lands from which they take their name, and were first taken to England on ships plying between Engiish ports and the south of France. From this stock have been derived a number ef distinct va- rieties, such as the crested, the green, the lizard, which imitates the reptile in its variegated markings, and the Belgian, which has a strange humpbacked ap- pearance. _ The Beard in Hussia. It is curious to note that in Russia tne beard has always been an object of repute. An ordinance which Yaroslaf, son of Vladimir, and legislator of Noy- gorod, at that time capital of Russia, published in 1015, exemplifies this. By this law anyone plucking a hair from a neighbor's beard was subjected to a pun- ishment four times moresexeretban that inflicted for cutting off his finger. “Papa, what is a syndicate?” “My son, it is a body of human beings entirely surrounded by money.”—Ex. BIG PLANT IS WRECKED. Huge Compressors of the Hy- draulic Works Destroyed. EXPLOSION, THEN FIRE. Three Workmen Are Badly Injured— Iron Mountain, Mich., June 25.—[Spe- cial.]—The four huge compressors at the hydraulic works on the Menominee river, just seuth of this city, were wrecked by an expiosion at about 3:30 o’clock this morning. The building caught fire and was almost entirely consumed. Three men were on duty, William Al strom, Andrew Carlson and Louis Meyer. Of these Alstrom, who is at St. George’s hospital, is burned fearfully about the head, neck and hends; Car!son has a deep gash on the head and Meyer is slighay burned and.njured. The cause of the explosion is fap pees to be spontaneous combustion of oi] and gas in the compressor receiver. This city was telephoned for an er gine, which was promptly sent and suc ceeded in saving the flume, which sup plies the compressors. The hydraulic works are owned by thc Chapin Mining ete, and supply th compressed air by which the drills, hoists pumps, ctc., of the Chapin and of sey eral other mines here, are operated. Supt. O. ©. Davidson was here early this morning and arranged to have work commenced on Tepairing two of the com- pressors, with the hope that they might be patched up so that they can supply the Chapin company with air. It is thought, however, that it will be temporarily only if such can be done and it will take a year to repair the entire works. A large force of men will be laid off at the Chapin mine on account of the accident. The machinery damaged is valued at $250,000. This is the third explosion of this kind since the works were built, but none have been as serious as this. MINISTER WEDS POETESS —_-—_—_—_ Miss Elizabeth Alden Curtis Be- comes the Wife of Rev.

F., June 26.—The Orient Steam Navigation company’s steame1 Lusitania, Capt. McNay, from Liverpool, June 18, for Montreal, having 500 pas: sengers on board, was wrecked last mght off Cape Ballard. ee The Dassen gers of the Lusitania had a terrible experience. The first..knowledge which they had of the disaster was when, owing to the ship rasping over the rocks, they were all hurled from their berths by the shock. Many of them were bruised and pe all hurried on the deck in their nightclothes. A scene of great excitement ensued. Five Las people were clamoring to escape. whil the crew tried to pacify them and launch the boats. The male passengers, in their attempt to seize the boats, seas the women under foot and fought the crew avith knives. Some of the more cool- headed of the passengers assisted the crew in the efforts to get out the boats. One boat was upset and its occupants were immersed. It is still supposed that some of these were drowned, but that pone has not yet been definitely established. Another bout, having on board twenty persons, has not yet been reported. She is sup- posed to be adrift in the fog and this may have given rise to the report which reached bere that twenty persons were drowned by the upsetting of a boat. 'The women and children rescued were ‘almost naked. -Drenched with spray, they were pulled up the cliffs by the coast people. Some of the boats were ‘demolished in the surf while attempting to land and their half-drowned occupants held on to the rocks, shivering with cold, until rescued, | This morning the unhappy passengers, after shivering for hours on the hilltop, tramped over weary miles in their en- deavor to reach the houses of the fisher- men, where they are now sheltered. _ Previous to reaching the cliffs, the passengers passed two hours of terribic anxiety on the wreck. As a furious rainstorm and heavy sea raged all night, it is feared the Lusita- nia will be a total wreck. The last re- fee received, here said the steamer was breaking up, that her foreholds were full of water and that her cargo was being salvaged. Later reports received here show that the wreck of the Lusitania did not re- sulted in any loss of life. All the passen- gers eecanee. although several were in- jured. The missing boatload of passen- gers landed safely. The Lusitania has been forced on the rocks, has listed to one side and is half full of water, Montreal, June _26.—A special to the Star from Cape Race says the steamer Lusitania is ashore at Zals Cove, twelve miles north of Cape Race, and that the 500 passengers are all safe. Cape Ballard is situated on the coast of . Newfoundland, about sixty “miles south of St. Johns. The Lusitania was built at Liverpool, by Laird Bros., in 1871. She is 379 feet 9 inches long. has 41 feet 3 inches beam and is 27 feet 7 inches deep. STRIKERS CAUSE RIOT. Police Attempt to Disperse Them and Bullets and Missiles Are Freely Used. Rochester, N. Y., June 26.—Striking laborers numbering 1000 had a brisk en- counter with the police in which eleven policemen and twenty rioters were in- jured. The rioters set out, as several times before, to drive off the laborers who were at work on street improve- ments. At Mill and Commercial streets they encountered fifty laborers employed by the Rochester Gas ,& Electric com- pany in digging a trench, and advanced am them and drove them from the trench. The workers sought refuge in the power- house of the comueny. and ig sie un- dertook to disperse the mob. e police reserves were drawn up in a platoon of fifty across the street, and upon orders advanced with drawn clubs upon the mob. Immediately the air was filled ‘with bricks, stones and wood, and shov- els and picks in the hands of the strikers were used freely. Amid the melee a shot rang out and Sergt. Stein, commanding the platoon, ordered the policemen to fire over the heads of the strikers. This had the de- sired effect. The strikers scattered and the police chased them through the streets to the city hall park, where they were held awaiting action by the mayor. Police reinforcements were’ hurried to the scene of the riot but their services were not required. The injuries sustained by several of the policemen are of a serious nature. The hurts of the rioters were mostly scalp wounds inflicted by the officers’ alii TRAGEDY IN SEATTLE. J. WwW. Considine ‘Ghosts Ww. D. Meredith—Fatal Ending of an Old Feud. Seattle, Wash.

The record was broken the past week in the sale of unoccupied lands in Ne- braska, Wyoming and Kansas. Over 50,000 acres were disposed of, the largest amount in any one week in the history of the land department. The majority of sales have been to Dunkards er German Baptists, who attended the conference of that sect at Lincoln. Large numbers have been induced to give up their East- ern homes—most of them in Pennsylva- pia—and settle in the West. A scientific observer, who has spent much time in forest and jungle, says that animals certainly talk. Perhaps it is going too far to cali it “talking,” but they certainly have a way of communicating with each other by sounds made with the mouth. He bad seen a herd of monkeys hold a conference before making some move, and has heard a gorilla distinctly call to its mate when it found some choice berries. He one day saw some gorillas approach a man's field to rob it, and when they found that it had already been stripped of everything that they cared fcr they laughed and guifawed just as men would do if a jeke had been rlared on them. Mr. Bowers, chief of the United States fish commission, favors the Japanese and German systems of fish farming. He ar- gues that there is no reason why a farm- er should not raise his own fish as well as his own chickens or pork, and the cultivation of fish for market in the in- terior country he believes will soon be- éome a fixed and profitable industry. Fish farming is possible wherever there is a pond or a stream, and the government fish commission will furnish a good sup- ply to start with. Fish ponds can be created in villages and even cities wher- ever there is running water, and Mr. Bowers believes it to be practicable for every housewife to raise her own fish. aE About a year ago there was invented an electric light buoy, the power fer hs #+BE “NOT DECEIVED*- "TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA.

The three ships, Santa Maria, Nina and Pinta, came under the care of the Field Columbian Museum at the close of the fair, and the historic vessels have been anchored in the “court of honor” lagoon and buffeted about by the high seas. They have had no repairs nor paint, and have sprung so many leaks that they have filled with water and now rest on the sand bottom.

M. Moore, through a fortunate #W\ 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 “a. met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced en honest, legitimate remedy, true to at 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 Ww #WX long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Roe. whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there ure always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other GAN people’s goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are ‘x worthless, causing the hair to fall out and sang great damage to the hair \ and scalp, and the colored people are Boying ene spacioes compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you useon yourhair. Do not HN be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics, / OZONO, WS which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00.

It is said that there were at least 200,- cat mustangs scattered over the plains of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas ten years ago, and that now nearly all of ‘them are gone. A few were caught and kept by the Indians in their reservations, but the wild horse, in his natural state, is practically extinct. Three causes are assigned for this: First, the better horse of the East, cheapened by the trolley car and the bieyele, could be bought at ‘a moderate price, and the mustang was shot by the stockmen as a useless Ccon- sumer of pasturage; second, that the breed deteriorated, and naturally died oat; and third, that they were shot and made into “canned beef.” The ranch- men now breed and raise high-grade horses, and find a ready market for them not only in the Eastern states. but in England and Germany for army tse. ‘The Western climate makes them bardy, long-winded and speedy. — And Grand Trunk , a Railway System / | pans . ie shortest and ae caret? eg = ab . i ll points i chigan, i ee Caiads anata Rests he Re yi Ret rat rT ae Ee rates and good service. ee Visit the Pan-American Expo Sr Se Se = We have the low rates ex- SS ee a ee ions to Grand Haven, SE a a Si fae aoa Mone Ss = SS ae every Saturday night.

It was presented by the Woman’s Silk Culture Association of the United States in 1885. This mag- nificent silken emblem, the product of the United States, spun and woven by American tachinery in the hands of Americans, is in a perfect state of preser- vation. Its only defect lies in tke in- sufficiency of stars, there being but thir- ty-eight, the number of states in the Union at the time the flag was presented. Speaker Henderson desired that this flag should be replaced by one containing stars representing the full number of the sis- terhood of states at the commencement of the new. century, and so the old flag came down and a new silken banner, with forty-five stars, was draped in its place. .LIINION....

The vast cavern containing a large Jake inhabited by biind fish, and whose sub- terranean passages are filled with nn- ture’s handiwork, recently discovered by hunters eight miles west of Red Bud, DDL, was explored last week. An attempt was made to reach the north end of the cave, but after covering a distance of about ten miles the explorers had to re- turn on account of the lateness of the hour. They discovered huge rooms con- taining innumerable stalactites, stalag- mites and waterfal!!s. Great rocks that have been carved into a thousand fan- tastic shapes by water that has labored for centuries to complete its work are seattered about the cave. Huge and beautiful stalagmites that bave been built by drops of water falling in the same place for ages extend thirty feet from the floor to the roof. In some rooms the stalactites alone jare to be seen; they hang from the ceiling in great bunches. There are narrow passages in this subterranean wonder that are near- ly blocked by stalagmites that stand out like fungus growths on each side of what were large rooms. At one time this sub- terranean' wonder was a river. This has resulted in making long rooms instead of bread and round chambers. .

CHICAGOAN ISDROWNED * aR Ashland, Wis., June 26.—[Special.]— T. D. Simpson, a traveling salesman for the A. M. Slater & Bro. Dry Goods house of Chicago, was drowned in Che- quamegon bay, this city, at 6:30 o'clock this morning. Simpson came to Ash- land about three weeks ago and had not drawn a sober breath since ais arrival. His firm advanced him over $300 in the past three weeks and every sent of vit, save $7. found on_ his person after the drowning, had been spent for liquor and gambling. This morning early he asked the bartender at the hotel for some fishing tackle, saying that he would like to go down to the bay and angle for trout. He went down to the bay and in walking across a tres- tle staggered and fell into the water. The place where he fell into the water was only two feet deep, but he was so stupefied by his long carousal that he could not help himself ashore. Only yesterday he received a letter from his employers asking him to come to Chi- cago and admonishing him strongly for his extravagance and negligence. A cor- oner’s jury returned a verdict of acci- dental drowning. The remains will be shipped to Chicago this evening for inter- ment. Simpson is a man of small stat- ure, about 30 years old, smooth-shaven face and finely-cut features. EIGHTEEN ARE HURT. Passenger Train Collides with a Switch Engine at El- roy, Wis.

Cyrus Washington Snow. one of the oldest, best and most universal; a lar suupeers on the Chicago, Milwau- kee & St. Paul road, lost his life at 7:30 o'clock this morning, at his post of duty. His engine, as the result of an open draw at the Portage canal, one mile east of Portage city, was derailed by the auto- matic derailing device, and being under considerable headway at the time, was thrown down a 5-foot embankment, into the river, and the skull of the veteran aaeiiierr was crushed. He died in a few minutes after being taken from the wreck and the river. One of the company’s surgeons, Dr. Meacher of Portage, was on the train at the time of the accident, as were sev- eral ee erent and they rendered peers aid, but nothing could be done for the dying engineer. Fireman Kiley, who went over with the engine, escaped with slight injury, and walked from the wreck. The mail car was also thrown over the bank, and the barrage car and coaches derailed, but no others were in- jured in the least. Conductor McQueen- ey. well-known in this city, was in charge of the train, which arrives here daily from Portage at 10:30 o’clock and leaves now at 4:45, or for Saad the 5-o’clock train out of Milwaukee. Detaile of the Accident. The train, known as No, 22, leaves Portage at 7:25 a. m., and it pulled out on time this morning. At the Portage canal bridge is a signal intended to noti- fy engineers when the draw is open or opening, and in addition, as a safeguard, an automatic serene device is in opera- tion a reasonable distance from the bridge. For some reason, this nore the engineer failed to note the usual signal of danger, or it did not work per- fectly, is not now clear. At all events, he did not come to a stop and the train neared the bridge at a fair rate of speed. Striking the automatic device, the engine was at once derailed, but owing to the speed it was plunged over the embank- ment and rolled into the canal, drawing one car and derailing the others. En- gineer Snow received a crushed skull in the wreck as the engine went over, and it was at first reported that he had been drowned beneath thelocomotive. This was not the case, however, as he was re- moved from the wreck and was_ still alive, although dying from his injuries a few minutes later. On account of the accident, the train did not reach Mil- waukee until about 2 o’clock this after- noon. The Jolly Old Man, ‘The dead_engineer made his home for years at Portage, where he leaves a wife. They had no children. He was about 60 years of age, and had been in charge of engines for the Milwaukee company for thirty years or longer. He was known as “the jolly old man,” it being said of him by officials and others on the road that he was never known to have lost his temper or to have abused anyone. He was looked up to by the young generation of engineers and train- men as a sort of father, and his advice was frequently sought and freely given for the good of men in the service. In cases of sickness of employes he was one of the first to visit the man and was al- ways Dee foening some kind of service for others. With his record and usefulness as an engineer and man, “Wash” Snow will be long remembered and his memory honored by the large number of officials and employes who knew him best and loved him most for his uniform kindness and geniality of nature—a sunny disposi- WEDS HER FORMER LOVER.

MYSTERY STILL UNSOLVED No Information as to the Where~ abouts of Miss Helen Fifield. MISSING FIVE DAYS. eae Janesville, Wis., June 24.—[Special.]— Helen Fifield has been missing for five days and absolutely nothing is known of her whereabouts. The police have the- ories which are being carefully investi- gated, but as yet nothing definite in re- gard to the actions of the girl, after she left he> father’s home early Thursday morning, can be learned. Believes She Eloped. Firm in the belief that Miss Fifield, who disappeared early on Thursday morn- ing from her home, has eloped, Chief of Police Hogan has authorized a re- ward of $100 for information, leading to the location of the young woman. Rela- tives of the young woman have insisted from the first she had no sweetheart, and the police worked on the theory she was entering trom mental derangement. Chief Hogan says he has discovered that a younk traveling salesman named Sam- uel Warner, whose home is in Janes- ville, had been calling on Miss Fifield regularly when he visited the city. “From everything I have been able to learn, I am disposed to think Miss Fi- field's Sisappeerance, was planned delib- ately,” said Chief Hogan. “She took $90'from the bank, made such purchases as she deemed necessary, and then left home on an early morning train. Her clock was found in an adjoining bed- room, indicating she had concealed her clothing there, and when she arose took her clock to the room so she would not miss the train to Chicago. Registering at the Home hotel as Mrs. Daisy Tay- lor of Milwaukee is significant, when the other facts are taken into consideration. “I learned in my investigations that Miss Fifield went driving with Warner last Sunday evening. ‘arner is 22 years old, was raised in Janesville, and Visits his home frequently. On these eee he always talled on Miss Fifield, or has been seen with her. He left Janesyille on Monday morning and Miss Vifield disappeared on Thursday morone We have worked on all the other theories advanced, but I am dis- posed now. to look on the elopement theory as the most substantial.” “Fake” Letter is Received. On Saturday nigh an anonymous let- ter was received y Mr. Fifield stating that his daughter had been married in Milwaukee on that day. The letter is looked upon as a “fake” and no attention was Said to it after 1t was learned that no one had secured a marriage license for a Miss Fifield, nor had anyone an- swering her description registered at aay of the Milwaukee hotels. ‘ ‘Mr. Fifield stated to the Evening Wis- consin’s correspondent. this morning that the whereabouts of his daughter was a Tansey and that nothing had been heard from her since her disappearance last Thursday. He has offered $500 for in- formation leading to her apprehension. Believe Her Still in Chicage. Chicago, Ill, June 24.—No trace of Miss Helen Fifield of Janesville can be found. Dr. George Fifield, Miss Fi- field's cousin, and H. R. King, a friend, Detective Sergeants Darrow and Mur- taugh of the central station and Chief of Police Hogan of Janesyilie reported they had visited every hotel in the city, but had not found a person who had seen the young woman after she left the Home hotel, 222 Washington street, the morn- ing of her arrival. : ‘The local police believe Miss Fifield could not have disappeared so. complete- ly after her arrival here unless she met someone who knew the city, because she would have left some trace of herself by making inquiries. They think she had a second address to which she went aft- er leaving the Washington street hotel. To stimulate inquiry and induce the public to seek the identification of young women who appeared for the first time on Thursday, Chief Hogan authorized a reward of $100 for any information that will lead to the finding of Miss Fifield. The local police will continue the search as nothing has been obtained leading them to believe Miss Fifield has left the city. . It was learned today that a girl, who bore a striking resemblance to Miss Fi- field, had attempted to secure a position as a servant at 287 Ontario street on Thursday night. This girl was well dressed and from this fact the people residing at the house were led to believe that the circumstances which led her to apply for a position were not ordinary ones. With this belief her application for a position was refused. THIRTY ARE SHOCKED. Ashland Visited by Violent Elec- trical and Wind Storms, Doing Much Damage.

A novel idea for trimming boleros is to edge the lower hem with long pendant loops of ribbon or gold braid. Through these loops the waistband is passed. A waistband of a color different from that of the ribbon trimming is preferable. Gold effects on white are much fancied now for either day or evening wear. Ceintures of gilt are always pleasing, but a decidedly new idea is a boa of gold tissue, edged with finger-width white mousseline de scie or with tiny ostrich plumes. Something extremely practical to keep erect the dainty muslin and pique stocks now so much worn is a perforated neckband of celluloid. It is easily fastened inside the stock, and may be purchased at almost any notion or neckwear counter. Among the fancy hose of the season a variation from the usual lace patterns has been seen in some pairs of black silk, embroidered with jet paillettes. One pretty design consists of three bowknots of closely-set paillettes on the instep. Another has lines of paillettes running up and down the instep. Some of the latest patterns also contain gold thread, in stripes, alternating with openwork. The most appropriate trimming for sailor hats this season is a puffing of silk, which hides nearly the entire brim, as well as the crown. The silk may be set off to best advantage by a buckle or a long, sweeping plume, laid on flat. Extremely chic is a little Empine coatee of black glace silk, with inch-deep tucks. As suggested by its name, the little coat hangs loosely from over the bust. It has wide revers, and deep collar of white moire, with broad edge of black satin appliqued with ecru lace, on which are embroidered black spots. The coatee is lined with white satin, and is the daintiest thing imaginable. A lovely gown made for Newport is of wood brown veiling, with hemstitched border on skirt and bolero. The satin chemisette is of ivory white, with transparent guipure collar. A plateau hat to be worn with it is of ivory straw, covered with calceolaria blossoms of shaded browns and orange. Some of the new chambrays are charming. One of pastel blue is trimmed with insertions of Valenciennes lace, and is made with a bolero, worn over a chemisette of white batiste, finished with a pointed belt of black velvet, studded with steel "nailheads." Quite the newest "throatlet" is of rich black lace, lightly studded with diamonds and passing through jeweled gold slides. Jeweled lace in many applications is becoming fashionable in Paris and London, and probably will appear at the summer resorts here before long. The sweetest of morning jackets is made of accordion crepe lisse, with deep ruffle of lace. The sleeves are elbow length, and also lace ruffled. A fichu, the lower edge of which is threaded with black velvet ribbon, fastened with rosette and ends at the back, extends across the bust, and is caught under a similar fastening. A black velvet threading and rosette completes the sleeve at the elbow. The delicate gowns to be worn this summer demand the daintiest of petticoats. Some silk skirts will be worn, but in general the white-lawn and batiste will have the preference. These are many flounced and much embroidered, and are extravagantly charming. Entirely bewitching is a tea gown of ivory crepe de chine. Empire in design. The full front is composed of cross-tucked ivory chiffon, and the yoke of the same is covered with ecru guipure. At each side of the square yoke, in the front, is a long end of accordioned chiffon, fastened under a large rosette of heliotrope glace ribbon. Coats of taffeta are extremely dressy for carriage wear, and are capable of every conceivable treatment, some being preferred quite plain and others elaborately decorated with lace. White, tan, old ivory or delicate tea green and gray are shades most preferred. Collars and cuffs of duchess lace are frequently seen, and one coat of white taffeta, covered entirely with black Chantilly lace, is particularly effective. In the wash ties and neckbands fashion has produced something as practically useful and durable as it is pretty. The pique stocks of white, with a narrow colored lawn tie, always look fresh with a cotton gown. The knot seems to be superseding the bow. Oblong ties with rounded ends are among the newest, and some are ornamented with tiny pearl buttons.—New York Tribune. A suggestion of color on the handkerchief is coming more and more into general favor. Narrow hemstitched borders of a color matching the summer suit are used, and many of the French initial handkerchiefs have the letters set on a shield of pink, blue or green. Corn Our Most Important Cereal. Draw a mental picture of a vast field of corn, 83,000,000 acres in extent, and you have a view of the consolidated cornfields of America, says George H. Phillips in the Saturday Evening Post. This is the present corn acreage. As a companion picture let the imagination depict a mountain of corn containing two billion bushels of the beautiful yellow cereal. This is one year's harvest from the great field—simply an average annual crop! The immensity of these figures may well stagger the imagination of the ordinary matter-of-fact man and cause him to ask: "Where and how is this monster harvest used?" That the demand for corn should far exceed so prodigal a supply seems almost impossible. But the facts show that the world's call for corn is far outstripping, and in rapidly-increasing ratio, this enormous output of this country's cornfields. An active crusade against the wearing of corsets is being carried on at Budapest. The Hungarian minister for public instruction has issued an energetic order against their use, forbidding all girl pupils attending the public and private day schools in Hungary to wear them. Herr von Wlassics declares in his order that the corset prevents the full development of the bodily organs and stunts the growth. He desires a uniform blouse to be adopted in its stead. This order has been sympathetically received in educational circles, but regret is expressed that the female teachers have not been included in it, as it is thought their example may be prejudicial to their pupils. London Telegraph. Ships in Wholesale Lots Heretofore the merchant fleets of the nations have been built up ship by ship. When American combinations of capital go into the business it is natural that they should carry American methods with them and do their buying by wholesale. If we are ready for a merchant marine we can get one ready made. If we choose we may again become the carriers of the world, and the indications are that we choose.—Saturday Evening Post.

The medievel university differed in many respects from our idea of a modern university. It was primarily a guild of teachers and scholars, formed for common protection and mutual aid. It was a republic of letters, whose members were exempt from all services private and public, all personal taxes and contributions, and from all civil procedure in courts of law. The teaching function was often secondary and often entirely overlooked. The Scottish university from the beginning, however, emphasized the teaching function and created an atmosphere academic rather than civil or political. The early curriculum was crude, but fully abreast of the age, comprising in the main, philosophy, theology, canon and civil law. All instruction was in Latin and the writing of latin dissertations was the daily task of the student—a straight and narrow way of learning.—Scribner's Magazine. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address. F. J.

A concern in London has a plant for making it. Pemmican is not in reality the mixed sort of sausage-meat described in the "Swiss Family Robinson," but is simply dried and pulverized meat mixed with suet and flavored with dried currants and other seasoning.

"He did it quickly and automatically and Poor Lo's Salvation is Work. The attitude of our government toward the Indian, in allowing him in idleness to follow his own untrammeled will on the reservation, is a relic of the old French and Spanish original discoverers. Are these wards of the government never to have homes, but be always condemned to tribal relations? Are they never to know the mental uplifting of a wife's hands, but be always fated to burden-bearing squaw life? Some day a statesman will arise and point the way for these aboriginal Americans to become men and women among us, and truly citizens of our states. Until that time—until Indians are alienated from their savage surroundings—their treatment is a proposition not reached by any pink-tea standard of ethics. National Magazine.

A lady happening to be passing a pub- lic house in West Kensington just as a little girl was coming out of it with a brimming jug of beer. Seeing the child stop to drink greedily, the lady spoke to her, and taking the ethical side of the matter as easiest to be understood, asked if she did not know it was wrong to drink her mother’s beer. The an- swer was: “Oh, but Mr. —— (the publican) told me he had put some in for me, and that mother would still have her full pint left; and it is so nice! Wouldn’t you like to taste it?) He gave me these, too,” displaying a handful of sweets. “I’m to have them when I go in, and Mrs. So-and-So has promised to let me fetch her beer, too!’ The child was not yet 8 years old, and as Mrs. So-and-So lived close by the lady made it her business to call and remonstrate, finally succeeding in obtaining a prom- ise that the little creature should not be sent again. A day or two later this same woman accosted the lady in the street to Inform her she had kept her promise, but that the child had “gone on dreadful,” when told she would not be allowed to fetch her beer for her any more, “screaming and crying like any- thing!” There, sir, is a drunkard of less than § in rapid process of forma- thw Some Statistical Object Lessons. A liquor organ sneeringly points to prohibition Kansas as having six dis- tilleries, while high license Nebraska has but one, as recorded in the report of the Commissioner of Internal Rev- enue. Very true, but if our liquor friend will look at page 101 of the re- port he will see that while the six dis- tilleries of Kansas consumed but 663 bushels of grain and malt, the one dis- tillery of Nebraska consumed 479,667 pushels of grain and malt. Thus we see that the one“distillery of Nebraska used 723 times as much grain as the six distilleries of Kansas. Again in this report we find that dur- ing the fiscal year 1809, 2,190 illicit dis- tilleries were seized by United States marshals, 2,101 of which were destroy- ed, and the remainder earried away. In these raids 711 persons were arrest- ‘ed, one man killed and three wounded, and what is very suggestive, every one of the distilleries seized was in a l- cense State and not a solitary one in any prohibition State. These figures ‘do not include 352 more distilleries seized during the year, -all in license States, but which cases had not been disposed of during the year.—National Temperance Almanac.

Quite an excitement has been created in Kensington by so small a matter as a bean. The bean was brought from Ma- nila two years ago by a traveling agent for a large manufactory, who had seen a tree covered with beautiful flowers and beans while traveling in Luzon, and had secured one of the pods. Fearing that if he confided it to a professional florist, he would lose the honor and glory of intro- sogng a new flower to Philadelphia, he turned over the bean to a Kensington ‘woman, agreeing to pay $1 a month for its care and culture until it produced flowers. The bean has been two years growing, but is not yet over two inches in height. Local botanists say it is not a bean, but a date seed, which has been lanted in mistake. The owner, who paid Bio for one year’s board for the bean, thinks the caretaker should now keep it for company, but she says she has had three doorbells worn out by curious visit- ors. Recently the owner dug the plant up to see what the root looked like, and found that while there were only three incaes of stem and leaves, a large 16-inch ; ‘pot was filled with fibrous roots. He thought it would be a good plan to clip the roots, since which time the Manila bean has been but a little faded_ flower. ‘The caretaker asserts that in two years she has served the bean with 1400 gal- Jons of water and taken 20,000 steps in earrying it around the house to give it ‘the full benefit of sunshine. It was as much trouble and care as a_baby, only it did not cry at night.—Philadelphia Record. | Inventors of Wood Pulp Paper. pA writer in a London newspaper, ‘speaking of the ingenuity of wasps in building their nests, says: “Like a ‘trained spaniel, she finds at last some old stump or sill of wood, some fallen trunk er Weatherworn wound in growing tim- ber whereon she setties anti proces to bite off bits of wood and chew them into paste.

The principle of the X-ray, at first but a scientific toy, has been developed and ap- plied successfully not only to the uses of surgery but to a number of mechanical purposes.
