WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS. The House of Representatives and the Crumpacker Resolution. We are in receipt of the Cleveland Gazette of the 22d inst. and observe from it that the editor has addressed an open letter to Congressman S. E. Payne of New York state, whom he mainly charges with the defeat or indefinite postponement of that resolution. The Crumpacker resolution sought to have carried into effect that section of the Fourteenth amendment of the United States Constitution which requires the reduction of the congressional representation of any state adopting disfranchisement, in proportion to the disfranchised citizens therein who are not convicted of any crime. The editor of the Gazette does not mince matters, but sounds a timely note of warning. In his introduction he goes straight to his point. He says: "The intelligent Afro-American of the North, Republicans, where votes are cast and counted, will be either retained in the party or driven from it in proportion to the manner in which the matter of disfranchisement is handled by the present Republican Congress. They have been watching the matter more closely, and have been agitating it greater for a year past than any other class of American citizens for reasons obvious. Hundreds have already gone from the Republican party. Thousands will go in the event of your present Congress' failure to do its duty as provided for in the Fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution. This sectinon, if I read it correctly, contains a mandatory provision for the decrease of representation of any or all states adopting disfranchisement acts or amendments to their constitution." The above is only a part of the editor's open letter and is pregnant with meaning at the present time. He proposes to bring the matter before the National Afro-American council, and through it to the loyal Afro-American Republican voters in the North, and we are glad to give publicity before hand to his views. As he says: "There are those of us life-long, active and aggressive Republicans who place loyalty to race first and govern ourselves accordingly." Tillman a Disgrace to the Senate Tillman a Disgrace to the Senate. Some months ago the Milwaukee Free Press published an interview held with a colored gentleman of this city, in which that gentleman designated Senator Tillman as the mountebank of the United States Senate. The recent disgraceful brawl between Senators McLaurin and Tillman justifies that opinion and shows more conclusively than anything else in his career the disgraceful and brutal disposition of this senatorial rowdy. No other man, no other member of the United States Senate, would have been guilty of like conduct. But a man who will dare to go out upon the rostrum and abuse Northern hospitality and freedom of speech as did Tillman in the last presidential campaign—and since—will do anything that is low and despicable. "We will have to kill a thousand niggers before we can wipe out the indignity placed upon the white man of the South by Roosevelt's act in inviting Booker T. Washington to his table." Sounds more like the utterance of a bar-room loafer than a dignified senator of the United States. When the citizens of Milwaukee, La Crosse and Marinette cheered these and like sentiments uttered by this unwashed rebel, they were carried away by the excitement of the moment and did not realize that their acts were being advertised as an endorsement of Tillmanism in all its shamefaced nakedness. If these two men, McLaurin and Tillman, were Negroes the entire press of the nation would be calling them black savages and demanding not only their immediate and permanent expulsion but that they also should be fined and imprisoned. But it seems to make anyone difference in the world in these United States as to whether a man who commits such offenses be white or black is to be hoped that South Wells rehabilitate herself by taking for Freeduffoon by the nape of the taking him into well-deserved Rumption. nature se terest in things that lead to the deghere exbur race in the eyes of the s what may be termed the Duringnent. There is plenty of been cir work at fair wages for all rant of ting to do their part and earn date for wring. We have no patience raint, whring. We have no patience affable g members of the race who ceedinglynty livelihood by displaying campaign ted musical abilities round treat a cs. They not only degrade nd prostitute such abilities. but have the unmitigated meanness to take, in some instances, their womenkind along with them to assist in the programme. This matter is one of supreme moment and we draw attention to it so that the public will understand that such conduct has not the approval of the right-thinking members of the race. Now we are having applications daily from all parts of the state for good, reliable colored female help, but it seems that some of our girls prefer to throw themselves away rather than accept a position in families where they will be treated with all due regard. Of course there are many exceptions, noble and notable exceptions, but in too many instances such seems to be the sad fact. We hear that a certain south side Pole is anxious to accept nomination either as city treasurer or that of comptroller. Now, we feel confident he will get neither. We know of a gentleman who is a sure winner for the latter nomination, and he is a man whose word can be depended upon. If a candidate for office belies his word before nomination or election what can be expected from him after gaining the height of his ambition? We were warned by an ex-alderman of the Eleventh ward against having any dealings with this gentleman, and sager advice that acute politician never gave. More will be heard of this when the proper time comes. Congratulations are being heaped upon us by our many friends on the manner in which we conduct our paper—the clean manner. Special praise is awarded us that we have taken the stand against the saloon element having any share whatever in the representation of the city's municipal affairs. The stand we take is this: A higher class of men than mere saloonkeepers (although there are some very good men among them) is needed to guide the civic ship at the present as at all other times. White Shirtwaists in Sheer Materials. One of these stylish model gowns has a chic little coat of heavy ecru lace, graduating from just above the waist line in front to a postilion back. The high-grade silk and wool grenadines in black take high rank for handsome appearance. The open work stripe effects which are so stunning made up on a white silk foundation, are especially beautiful. A Frenchy idea in sash drapery is carried out with good effect on a white net gown, seen in a Broadway shop. The wide ends are of light blue silk, reaching almost to the foot of the gown, and instead of sweeping plainly down its length the streamers are caught at intervals in a two-inch tuck, slightly gathered across the width, and a deeper tuck finishes the ends. One of the shops has on exhibition several fetching summer gowns in foulard. The colors are soft grays, tans, the everpopular dark blue, and a pretty red, with black or white flower designs, and with each gown is a parasol of material to match. The idea of complete harmony is pretty, and one which may be carried out at a comparatively moderate expense. Novel and pretty is the net sash drapery on a gown of black lace over white. The two long ends of net, which are very wide, are each caught at the waist line with a large white seed pearl button set in the center of a small rosette; then half way down the length of the skirt the pieces of net are gathered together into a width of about six inches, sweeping out again in graceful folds to the foot of the skirt. White shirtwaists in the sheer materials are seen once in a while with the pleats stitched in black. An attractive model of dotted Swiss muslin seen in the shops has several very narrow pleats in the back effectively finished this way. Black and white embroidery trim cuffs and collar, and a smart idea is the band of embroidery in front from neck to waist line, the pattern showing a black ground done in white. The waist fastens just to one side and where the embroidery is joined on the Swiss also is embroidered in large outline flowers in black. Narrow black and white stripe silk is introduced as a trimming on many of the smart wool gowns in color and black. One street gown of black cloth has a piping of this black and white on the collar and cuffs, and there is a natty little pocket outlined with it. Another idea is to lay the silk on in narrow fancy bands. A gown of mixed green cloth has the flounce, which, by the way, is in double box pleats all round, caught on to the upper skirt with a sort of zigzag band of this pretty silk, which is then edged with a fine black cord. On the coat is a repetition of the silk trimming, and the effect is fresh and dainty.—New York Mail and Express. Many Switzerlands in One. The vast ranges of the Canadian Rockies are, in the opinion of Whymper, "appalling in their immensity; for there are fifty or sixty Switzerlands rolled into one." A Brilliant Social Function. One of the most brilliant social functions which has taken place in many years in our community occurred on Thursday evening, the 20th inst. We of course refer to the nuptials of Mr. Arthur Stevens and Miss Naomi Hooper, which took place at the residence of the bride's parents, 33 Juneau avenue. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Brown, Danville, Ill. The couple stood under a canopy of flowers formed in the shape of a bell. The bride was given away by her father, Mr. Luther Hooper, and was attended by her sister, Miss Alice Paygne of Chicago, while Dr. Clifton Johnson officiated as the supporter of the bridegroom. After the ceremony the company, which was both numerous and representative, sat down to an elegant and recherche repast. The tables and indeed the whole house were profusely and tastefully decorated with THE LEGEND OF THE WORLD MR. ARTHUR STEVENS ornaments and flowers. Congratulatory addresses were offered by various gentlemen present. Promenading and dancing were then the order of the evening and the guests enjoyed themselves till a late hour. The bride was tastefully attired in an elegant gown of white silk crepe, all tucked, and carrying a bunch of roses, looked very charming indeed. Her sister, the bridesmaid, also looked bewitchedly handsome in her gown of pink-foulard silk trimmed with white lace. Amongst the other notable costumes were that of Mrs. J. J. Miles, who as usual looked the pink of matronly perfection in her dress, composed of a black silk skirt with a blue silk polka dot waist. Mrs. Terry Berry, 35 Juneau avenue, looked her usual self in an elegant pink silk gown. Mrs. Rainey, 62 Tenth street, set off her black brocaded silk to splendid advantage. Mrs. Bert Caldwell, 33 Juneau avenue, was handsomely attired in pink foulard silk. Mrs. THE WOMAN WHO WAS THE LADY OF THE WORLD MRS. ARTHUR STEVENS. Chloe Moore wore a simple but elegant black crepe. Mrs. Minerva Hawkins looked the picture of health in her handsome black satin. The bride's mother was elegantly gowned and looked charming in her dress of black silk grenadine trimmed with lavender. Mrs. Whitney showed to advantage in a black silk gown trimmed with purple and white lace. Mrs. Bailey was becomingly attired in pink and blue cashmere. Miss Julia McNamee looked charmingly pretty in her very modest and becoming gown of red silk, over which she wore black netted lace and roses, and Miss Julia Alexander looked her usual charming self in a simple and tasteful white mull. There were others, but the male society editor has already spent all the limited dress language at his command and must beg to be further excused. The presents bestowed upon the young couple were both numerous and costly. Amongst them were: Table linen, Mr. Slaughter; gold lined silver punch bowl, Mr. Richard Stevens, Buffalo, N. Y.; half dozen engraved silver spoons, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Miles; hand-painted china card plate, Dr. C. Johnson; highly ornamented gold candelabra, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey; a phonograph and check for $500, the groom; check for $500, father and mother of bride; silver napkin rings, Mr. Pierson, Mr. L.

I. Warren; hand-painted china fruit dish, Mr. and Mrs. Coleman; silver fruit spoon, Miss B. Woods, Davenport, Ia.; silver napkin rings, Mr. Lee Woodard, besides a perfect host of trinkets from numerous friends. Colored Young Men's Sunday Club. Last Sunday was Douglass day at this club and the programme was in the hands of a number of Milwaukee ladies, it being ladies' day as well. An invitation had been extended by the board of directors to the S. Lillian Coleman club to take charge of the programme, but for some reason they declined. Mrs. S. L. Coleman, nothing daunted, took charge individually and secured the services of Mrs. Dr. A. L. Herron, Mrs. R. H. Anderson, Miss Alexander and Miss Jackson of Waukesha; and the result was decidedly the best programme ever rendered upon a like occasion in St. Mark's church "Douglass' Childhood Days" was a paper read by Miss Alexander, and it depicted with life-like accuracy the scenes of his boyhood. "A Sketch of Frederick Douglass" was the theme chosen by Mrs. Anderson, and she certainly did justice to the topic. Mrs. Dr. Herron's paper was entitled "Douglass as a Race Leader" and was received, as were the others, with outbursts of applause. Mrs. Coleman delivered "A Eulogy of Douglass;" in originality of thought, style and expression it was the equal of anything of the kind we have ever heard. At its close Mrs. Coleman was the recipient of a magnificent bouquet of American Beauty roses, which she graciously acknowledged. Miss Nettie Jackson presided at the piano and rendered several selections which were well received. Altogether the entertainment was a decided success and reflected great credit on the participants. At the close a vote of thanks was heartily given to Mrs. Coleman and those who had so ably assisted her. * * * When the names of George Luca and Oliver Davis were proposed for membership on the same occasion, objection was made by the secretary, I. W. Bess, who raised some trivial point of order against their being proposed at that time. One of the directors of the club who was present rebuked the secretary and incidentally gave him some valuable advice, telling him that such methods were not only an insult to the gentlemen proposed and to their proposer, but was not the best way to increase the club membership. This was not the only bad break made that day by this young man, who has sprung up like a mushroom in our community. He showed that he lacked the good judgment necessary to refuse an office which he is evidently unqualified to fill. At an earlier stage of the proceedings he made some frivolous and uncalled for remarks, which by the white ladies present were taken as exceedingly ill-timed and ill-bred. We would advise this young man that it does not do to be too smart, that there is nothing which so becomes the individual in any walk of life more than sound judgment and good common sense. Not Sufficient Evidence. At Fort Scott, Kas., a husband had his wife and a man arrested on a very serious charge. When he came to give testimony against them all he could swear to definitely was that once he had peeked in at a church window and saw them standing together and singing out of the same hymn book. However, the judge, paying no attention to the shudder which passed over the audience, said that as there was no evidence that they sang out of tune, he must let the culprits go. Subterranean Lakes in Australia Subterranean Lakes in Australia. Subterranean lakes have recently been discovered in the Eucla district, Australia. They lie about thirty feet below the surface and contain an abundant provision of potable water. This discovery is of great practical importance to this especially arid district. It is of scientific value also, as it affords an explanation of the disappearance of certain rivers. JACKSON HON. FREDERICK DOUGLASS. CREAM CITY NOTES.

Prof. Charles Little of the Lyceum bureau, Chicago, gave a lecture out at the house of correction February 23 to one of the largest audiences that they have had for years. The Y. M. C. A. quartette rendered some very nice selections. Great credit should be given to Mr. W. C. Willis of the Y. M. C. A. in the interest that he has taken in the poor unfortunate men at the house of correction and also to Mr. George F. Werner, assistant secretary. Both the inmates and officers were very much pleased with the entertainment.

H. Pearce. The idea which was attempted to be conveyed to us was that Mr. Pearce was not nearly so well known, especially among the colored voters, as his running partner, Mr. D. C. Adams. This we controverted and convinced this willing skeptic that such was not the case, and were able to point to many beneficent actions performed in our midst by this same gentleman. Probably the most handsomely equipped barber shop in the Northwest has recently been opened up in the basement of the Herman building by Jahn Bros. The Herman building establishment is conducted by H. J. Jahn, while his brother, Theodore G. Jahn, continues at the same old stand, the St. Charles hotel. Besides the proprietor in the new establishment, the tonsorial artists are W. F. Kuntz, H. Vanzelie and C. Meising. Jahn Bros. have as formerly shown their preference for colored porters by employing Charles Bell and Oliver Davis, two of the brightest boys to be found in this state. The chairs are equipped with the latest hydraulic contrivances and are a marvel of comfort, while all the other equipments leave nothing to be desired. The patrons of this establishment need not think they are going to Hades because they have to descend. They will find instead a veritable tonsorial paradise. Besides Theodore Jahn at the St. Charles hotel are L. Terry, H. Bock, F. Bigeler and Steve Baker along with the Green brothers as porters; and these keep the place up to its former high-water mark. The Jahn Bros. are to be congratulated on their progressiveness. --- NUMBER 22. 杂 杂 杂 * * * * * * * * * *** ```markdown ``` * * * *** * * * GIVEN FREEDOM OF CITY. Royal Visitor Makes a Happy Speech in Response-Dinner at Metro New York, Feb. 26. The freedom of the city of New York was presented to Prince Henry yesterday afternoon, the ceremony taking place at the city hall. The prince made the vide from the Battery in an open carriage, making good his statement that if the people of New York wanted to see him he wanted to see the people. The heavy rain that was falling did not seem to bother his royal highness in the least. Arriving at the city hall the prince and the mayor hobnobbed and chatted together like old friends. Just after the two had shaken hands the mayor said: "Your royal highness, I welcome you to the city." Then turning towards Mr. Schurz, the mayor continued: "Let me present to you Mr. Schurz of the citizens' committee, and may I also present Gen. Sickles, a hero of Gettysburg." The prince shook hands with Mr. Schurz, and then, turning to Gen. Sickles, looked at him straight in the eye, then reached out his hand, "My pleasure." Gen. Sickles, standing erect and supported by his crutches, shook the prince's hand warmly. A few minutes later the prince was escorted to the aldermanic chamber. Presents Engrossed Resolutions. The mayor, taking from the casket the engrossed resolutions, which had been tied with white satin ribbon, said: Your Royal Highness: In receiving the welcome of the city of New York you are receiving the greetings of one of the oldest centers of civilization upon this continent. The freedom of the city which is now to be conferred upon you has not been often granted in all our history. If it be now in fact but a form of words, it is a form that signifies high regard and genuine friendship for him upon whom it is bestowed. Our ancient city in the course of the years has become the metropolis of America. It is not a capital like the great cities of Europe, for it is not the seat of government, either of the state of New York or of the United States. But it is, in a real sense, one of the most important cities of the nation's life, for here are to be found many of the men who give shape to the financial, the commercial, and the industrial progress of the nation. Here, also, it may fairly be claimed, is one of the most influential centers of education, music, literature, art and science. To all of these claims to eminence on the part of our city our fellow-citizens of German birth and descent have contributed their part in full measure. It is therefore a pleasure to all our people to welcome here one who so worthily represents their fatherland. We welcome your royal highness heartily for your own sake, and we welcome you equally as the representative of your imperial brother, the Emperor of Germany. We hope that your visit will do much to cement the friendship always existing between Germany and the United States, between the country of Steuben and De Kalb and the country of Washington. By the authority of the board of aldermen of the city, I now have the honor to confer upon your Royal Highness the freedom of the city of New York. Prince Replies to Mayor. The prince took the ribbon tied parchment from the mayor, and said in English that had only the faintest trace of a German accent: Mr. Mayor: I am so grateful for the kind reception I find here in the house as well as for the kind words you express on this occasion. I am fully aware of the fact that it is an exception that a member, certainly of my family, should have been made or offered the freedom of the city of New York. I may add that I am proud of it. It is the first city which so many of the old world going over to the new world meet and see. It is a city which has been an asylum for many of my countrymen. It is, I am aware, a center of commerce. I was deeply touched by the reception which I found on the day of my arrival, as well as when I drove up to the city hall. All of you know perfectly well that I am not here on my own behalf, but that I am here on behalf of his majesty, the German Emperor, my beloved brother and sovereign. I am sorry I cannot repay you for all the kindness I have found here, but I think I am quite safe in saying that I may offer you the friendship of his majesty, the Emperor of Germany, and I agree with you. Mr. Mayor, if I may say it, that I have not come here to create a friendship, but to carry on the old friendship which has existed between our two nations and which I hope may remain the same in the future. I wish to thank you once more and conclude with my heartfelt thanks for the kindness and for your offering me the freedom of the city of New York. I wish to add that I wish for the city of New York everything which is good for the future and every possible good wish for your city. Mayor Low Host at Dinner. At 6:17 o'clock the prince, his suite, and Rear-Admiral Evans drove to the Metropolitan club, where they were the guests at dinner of the mayor, with the presidential delegates and a number of citizens. There were no formal speeches. The toasts were: "To the President of the United States" (music, "Star Spangled Banner"). "To the Emperor of Germany" (music, German national hymn). "To His Royal Highness, Prince Henry of Prussia" (music, German naval hymn). Attends Opera Performance. The day closed with the gala performance at the Metropolitan Opera house. The prince did not arrive at the opera until 9:30 o'clock, and the first act of "Lohengrin," with which the programme was opened, was nearly finished when he reached his box. The royal visitor was enthusiastically received by the large audience present, and he bowed his acknowledgments repeatedly. Lunch on Hohenzollern. Following the launching yesterday a lunch was served on the Hohenzollern. The prince addressed the President as follows: Mr. Roosevelt, you are here on board as a guest of his majesty, the German Emperor, and I really believe that it is the first time that a President of the United States of America has ever been on board one of his majesty's ships. Please God, it will not be the last time. I wish to thank you heartily for the reception I have had, from the first day I landed up to this moment, and it is my sincere and certain impression that there is a strong feeling of personal friendship arising between us. May it extend to the benefit of our two great nations. I propose three cheers for Mr. Roosevelt. The President arose directly to answer saying: I wish to express my hearty thanks for the kind words your royal highness has expressed on my behalf, and I wish you to understand that it is no empty compliment when I say that your royal highness has already won a genuine place in our affections and good will. I highly appreciate the fact that his majesty, the German Emperor has sent you to the American people, and I thank you personally that you have taken a step which eventually must knit closer together the two great nations, whose friendship means so much for the future welfare of the entire world. To express, finally, a personal wish of my own, I look forward with great pleasure to the day on which I shall be your guest in your capacity as admiral on board one of your battleships.

A paragraph has been going the rounds of the press that the dummy clocks used by jewelers and other dealers in timepieces as advertisements always indicate the hour of 8:18 to commemorate the precise moment when President Lincoln was assassinated. Lincoln did not arrive at Ford's theater on the fatal evening until 9 o'clock and Booth did not shoot him until after 10. His death occurred at 7:30 the next morning.—New York Press. Lew Wallace's Den. Gen. Lew Wallace has a luxurious and ideal author's "den." It is erected on his lawn, and at a cost which most people would consider quite a fortune. In shape it resembles an Oriental mosque, and the interior is one large room, handsomely furnished and decorated, and on the walls hangs a portrait of the Sultan of Thurkey, painted by the general himself. —The tent in which the Dowager Empress of China travels is made of yellow silk, copiously embroidered in silver and gold, with great dragons and blazing suns. KING NOT ASSASSINATED Rumor that Alexander of Servia Had been Slain Authoritatively Denied. Berlin. Feb. 26.—An uncredited rumor was in circulation on the boerse here today that the King of Servia had been assassinated. [Name] KING ALEXANDER. Belgrade, Servia, Feb 26.—There is no foundation for the rumor which emanated from Budapest that the King of Servia had been assassinated. LUCBAN IS RUN DOWN. Most Important Military Event in Philippines Since the Capture of Aguinaldo. Washington, D. C., Feb. 26.—Gen. Chaffee today notified the war department that Lieut. Stribler of the Philippine scouts, captured Gen. Lucban on the 22d instant. The prisoner is confined at Laguan. Another capture is recorded in the same dispatch, namely that of William Dunston, said to be a deserter from Co. C, Eighth infantry, who had in his possession a lot of arms and ammunition and all the tools necessary for the making of ammunition. He was captured by Second Lieut. Pratt, First infantry, at Caghayan, on the island of Samar. The lieutenant also destroyed the Caurtel and the factory, and killed eleven soldiers besides capturing all of Dunston's correspondence. The officials of the war department regard the capture of Lucban as the most important military event since Aguinaldo's capture. He was run down on the island of Samar. The place of his confinement is a tiny island in a bay on the north coast of Samar. Lucban is one of the most energetic and ferocious of rebels. He is a half-breed, a mixture of Chinese and Filipino stock, and he has been an irreconcilable from the first. He had various fastnesses in the mountains of Samar from which he would descend upon the coast towns and his reign of terror was so complete that the entire population of the island paid tribute to him as the price of freedom from attack. Ordinary campaign methods failed in his case and his capture now is believed to be the natural working out of the system of dividing the island into small squares by military garrisons and making it impossible for the insurgent to obtain food or shelter. STORM IN CALIFORNIA. Losses Small While Rain will Prove of Vast Benefit to Growing Crops San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 26.—The storm which did some damage in this city was general throughout the state. Heavy rains are reported from all parts of California. All the streams in the interior are booming, railroad tracks have been washed away in places, telegraph and telephone lines prostrated and small buildings blown down. The heaviest rains of the season fell in southern California, but it was unaccompanied by wind. The aggregate of losses caused by the storm is small, while the rain will prove of vast benefit, insuring a good harvest and plenty of water for irrigation in dry districts. Throughout the northern San Joaquin valley, a heavy rain fell all day, accompanied by a strong wind which did considerable damage, small buildings, barns, trees and telegraph poles being blown down. At San Jose some fences and many ornamental trees were blown down. At Petaluma the storm flooded the streets and traffic in the lower part of town was conducted in boats. EPIDEMIC OF TYPHOID AT MICHIGAN CITY, IND. Two Hundred Cases are Reported. Due to the Prevailing Unsanitary Conditions. Michigan City, Ind., Feb. 26.—An alarming epidemic of typhoid fever prevails here. Two hundred cases of the disease are reported. The prevalence of the epidemic has caused the panic-stricken citizens of the city to appeal to the Indiana health authorities. Besides the typhoid fever epidemic 2000 cases of winter cholera have developed since the middle of December in a population of 12,000. Several deaths have occurred and suits have been brought against the city for damages by relatives of the victims. The relatives claim that the city authorities are responsible for allowing unsanitary conditions to prevail. The cause of the disease, Dr. Hurgy says, is the contamination of the water. KILLED BY EXPLOSION. Miner Meets Death in Newport Mine Near Ironwood. Ironwood, Mich., Feb. 26.—[Special.]—Henry Anderson, single, aged 26, was instantly killed in No. 2 shaft of the Newport mine yesterday noon by an explosion of dynamite. Anderson filled a hole with powder and then warned his companions not to return too soon. Shortly after this the explosion occurred. The men returning found Anderson's remains, badly mutilated. It is supposed that a box of dynamite near Anderson received a jar from the explosion which set it off. Polish Laborers Killed. Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 26.—Two Polish laborers were almost instantly killed and two injured, one dangerously, by the falling of a furnace gate weighing over a ton at Jones & Laughlin's steel works last night. The accident was due to the breaking of a chain which supported the gate. ISLANDS NOT PACIFIED. Inspector General Breckenridge Makes Tour of Philippines. Great Advancement Toward a Peaceful and Substantial Industrial Footing. San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 26.—Brig. Gen. J. C. Breckenridge, inspector general of the United States army, returned on the transport Hancock from a tour of inspection of the Philippine islands. He will remain in the city for a few days before returning to Washington to make his report to the war department. In discussing the situation in the Philippines he said: "The islands cannot be said to be entirely pacified, for a certain amount of guerrilla warfare is going on. The military forces are not operating to any great extent just now, as this is the rainy season. After the rains are over, I expect the soldiers will penetrate to the interior and bring about peace. I visited forty different posts and found that there is room for great improvements. The posts were much better, however, than I expected to find them. The signal corps has done glorious work on the islands. That branch of the service has lost more men than any other department. I believe that if the strength of the signal corps was doubled down there the work would be quadrupled. "Gov. Taft has made great advancement toward placing the islands on a peaceful and substantial industrial footing. "The schools in the island are flourishing. The white teachers who have gone to the Philippines are accomplishing great results, but I believe that it would be a great thing if native teachers of the Philippines were sent here to study our form of government. "I think that the day is not far distant when Manila will have a population of 1,500,000 inhabitants. It is a great seaport and the Philippines are a most valuable possession." LUNCH AT SHERRY'S. Prince Henry Meets 100 Men Prominent in Commerce, Industry and Finance. New York, Feb. 26.—Prince Henry remained on board the Hohenzollern this morning. A visit to Grant's tomb which the prince had desired to make early in the day was postponed because the wreaths to be placed on the sarcophagus were not finished in time. This was to be a quiet day for the prince compared with the busy one he had yesterday. After resting on board the yacht Hohenzollern during the morning, the programme was for him to go to Sherry's to be entertained at a luncheon to which 100 men from different parts of the United States, prominent in commerce, industry and finance had been invited. This luncheon, it was expected, would take up the prince's time until 3:30 p. m., when it was his intention to go for a sightseeing trip about New York city. The evening programme included a visit to the Arion club, a review of a parade of German societies and the dinner given by the New Yorker Staats Zeitung to the American press in honor of Prince Henry. Escorted by Troops. The prince left the Hohenzollern at 12:20 and escorted by Troop C went to Sherry's. Heading the procession was a squadron of mounted police. Prince Henry rode in an open barouche and following were carriages containing members of the prince's suite and Rear-Admiral von Bandissin. The party arrived at Sherry's at 12:30. With Prince Henry were Admiral Evans, Admiral Von Tirpitz, Gen. Corbin, Commander Cowles, Col. Bingham and Assistant Secretary of State Hill. The luncheon was given in the ballroom. Eleven tables had been arranged, crescent-shaped, each table seating twelve guests, with the exception of the prince's table, which had twenty guests. All sat on the outside of the crescent, so that every guest faced the prince. The room was beautifully decorated. Among the guests were H. McK. Twombley, Daniel S. Lamont, Alexander F. Orr, J. Pierpont Morgan, H. H. Vreeland, ex-Atty.-Gen. John W. Griggs, Abram S. Hewitt, Chauncey M. Depew, Lieut.-Gov. Woodruff, Rear-Admiral Melville, Charles A. Moore, Emil Baus, Thomas A. Edison, John McCall, Nathan Straus, E. J. Berwind, William H. Cramp, Prof. Simon Newcomb, John A. Brashear, Rear-Admiral Walker, George Gould, Alexander Graham Bell, Dr. S. Wier Mitchell, D. O. Mills, the German ambassador, Dr. Von Holleben, George F. Baker, Henry O. Havemeyer, Charles M. Schwab, J. Ogden Armour and Adolphus Busch. Undignified Criticisms. London, Feb. 26.—The attitude of the English newspapers towards the visit of Prince Henry of Prussia to the United States has called out a rebuke from the Westminster Gazette which cautions the responsible papers against a continuance of a policy whereby Great Britain is placed in the awkward position of seeming desirous of making bad blood between Germany and the United States, while putting in a claim for gratitude on her own account, on the score of past favors. "It is not dignified and is scarcely well bred," says the Westminster Gazette, "to remind the United States of obligations which we have no reason to suppose they will forget and it is certainly not politic to display anxiety in regard to the possible results of a friendly meeting between the President and the German prince." The paper then proceeds to sound a note of warning against carrying resentment towards Germany to the point of endeavoring to make mischief between Germany and another power, "in view of the already strained relations occasioned by the zig-zag policy of the government which threatens to place Great Britain in a position of antagonism to both Germany and Russia." Miss Roosevelt's Congratulations. Washington, D. C., Feb. 26.—Following is the copy of a cablegram sent to the German Emperor yesterday from New York by Miss Roosevelt: His Majesty, the Emperor, Berlin, Germany: The Meteor has been successfully launched. I congratulate you, and I thank you for your courtesy to me and send you my best wishes. (Signed) ALICE LEE ROOSEVELT. JUDGE NOYES MUST GO. Dismissed from Office by Order of President Roosevelt. Washington, D. C., Feb. 26.—President Roosevelt has written a letter to Arthur H. Noyes, United States judge for the Second district of Alaska, dismissing him from office. This action was taken in accordance with the report of the attorney general, in which he found Judge Noyes guilty, after investigation, of injudicial conduct in connection with his rulings on the bench. Judge Noyes is ill in San Francisco, and his friends fear that his illness is fatal. The Inadequate Powers of the Interstate Commerce Com- mission.—(Continued.) By EDWARD P. BACON. As is well known, a process of amalgamation, or unification of interest, has been going on for some years past between competing lines of railway, which has during the last two years assumed enormous proportions, and competition is fast becoming extinguished. During the period last mentioned a large proportion of the railway mileage of the country, variously estimated by different authorities as aggregating from 101,000 to 112,000 miles, constituting not less than three-fifths of the entire railway mileage of the United States, has been brought under the absolute control of five great capitalists, and the process is still going rapidly forward. This constitutes a power for extorting money from the public the exercise of which, however fair-minded may be the individuals in whose hands it is now vested, it is certainly unwise to permit without throwing around it such safeguards for the protection of the public, by governmental authority, as shall effectually prevent its abuse; otherwise it is appalling to contemplate the results that many ensue. Some idea of the effect of so extensive a change in classification of freight articles may be gathered by taking the single article of sugar as an example. In the annual "Report of the Statistics of Railways in the United States," issued by the interstate commerce commission, for the year ending June 30, 1900, the tonnage of sugar transported by the railroads of the country during the year, originating on the line of the companies reporting, is given as 2,050,558 tons. The advance in rate, produced by transferring this article from sixth to fifth class, in the case of shipments from New York to Chicago, was one dollar per tonne the previous rate having been in force for a period of fourteen years. It is fair to assume that this represents the average advance in the rate charged on the aggregate tonnage of sugar shipped to all points throughout the country, taking into consideration the fact that rates of freight between New York and Chicago are relatively much lower than those charged between Chicago and points farther west, and also those charged on shipments to intermediate points on the route or for shorter distances to other destinations. This would indicate that the increased amount of money paid by the people of the country, as a whole, for the transportation of sugar during one year, resulting from the change made in the classification of this article, was over two million dollars. And this is only one of 592 articles that were similarly affected by the change made in classification, some to a much greater and others to a somewhat less extent. The same advance was produced in the rate charged for the transportation of coffee, starch and soap and numerous other commodities of common use, the aggregate yearly tonnage of which is enormous. The previously existing rate on coffee and starch had been in force for a period of twelve years and that on soap for eight years. An advance of 14 per cent. was produced in the rate on cotton piece goods, the previous rate on which had been in force thirteen years. Similar changes were made in the "Southern Classification" in use on the railroads situated in the territory lying east of the Mississippi river and south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers, and also in the "Western Classification" in use in the territory lying west of the Mississippi river, by means of which, together with the changes made in the "official classification" above mentioned, a general advance was produced in rates of freight throughout the entire country. It has always been regarded as evidence that a freight rate is remunerative when it has been continued in force a long time. It is a well-known fact that, during the periods mentioned while the previously existing rates were in effect, most of the railroads of the country which were not overcapitalized, and were located where they were needed, were paying good dividends continuously. The only pretext assigned for the indirect advance in rates effected by the changes in classification referred to was the increase in operating expenses consequent upon the advance in cost of labor and material. That this was more than compensated for by the increase in traffic is shown by the fact, stated in the annual report of the interstate commerce commission submitted to Congress on January 4, 1901, that the percentage of operating expenses to earnings of all the railroads of the country for the year ending June 30, 1900, was less than for the preceding year, and less than the average for the preceding period extending back to 1890; and that the net earnings per mile for the year ending June 30, 1900, were greater than for the preceding year, and greater than the average for the preceding period back to 1890. The commission states in that report "I had a terrible cold and could hardly breathe. I then tried Aver's Cherry Pectoral, and it gave me immediate relief." W. C. Lavton, Sidell, Ill. How will your cough be tonight? Worse, probably. For it's first a cold, then a cough, then bronchitis or pneumonia, and at last consumption. Coughs always tend downward. Stop this downward tendency by taking Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. Three sizes: 25c., 50c., $1. All druggists. Consult your doctor. If he says take it, then do as he says. If he tells you not to take it, then don't take it. He knows. Leave it with him. We are willing. J. C. AYER CO., Lowell. Mass. that, "in every part or this country, carriers have by concerted action, without any notice to shippers, and indeed against the vehement protest of shippers, advanced their rates upon a large portion of the merchandise carried under class rates an average of one-fourth," and justly remarks that, "when hundreds of shippers complain that a public servant has perpetrated a wrong upon the public in the discharge of a public duty there should be, some public tribunal before which inquiry can be had and by which redress can be administered.—North American Review.

Where are the swallows fled? Frozen and dead Perchance upon some bleak, stormy shore, O, doubting heart! Far over the purple seas They wait in sunny ease. The balmy southern breeze. To bring them to their home once more. Why must the flowers die? Prisoned they lie In the cold tomb, heedless of tears or rain. O, doubting heart! They only sleep below The soft white ermine snow, While winter winds shall blow. To breathe and smile upon you soon again. The sun has hid its rays These many days; Will dreary hours never leave the earth? O, doubting heart! The stormy clouds on high, Neill the same sunny sky That soon, for spring is nigh. Shall wake the summer into golden mirth. Fair hope is dead, and light Is quenched in night; What sound can bleak the silence of despair? O, doubting heart! The sky is overcast, Yet stars shall rise at last. Brighter for darkness past. And angels' silver voices stir the air. —Adelalde Anne Proctor. MADELEINE'S LOVE. Perhaps I ought not to tell this story, for it redounds little to the credit of man's sex. However, it is a good story all the same, so here it is: The events occurred at Mme. Roussolin's country house, near La Rochebillere, in a wild, densely wooded country where hunting is the chief amusement of the inhabitants. The house is one of the best I know, and Mme. Rousselin had added to its attractions by taking her young niece, Madeleine, who had just lost her parents, to live with her. Madeleine had no fortune, but she was divinely pretty. She had those sofe mild eyes that go straight to your heart, and the most charming and indescribable air of delicacy, refinement and affectionateness. She was, indeed, by far too tempting a morsel to put under the very claws, so to speak, of that scoundrel, Louis, Mme. Rousselin's son, who had developed from an incorrigible spoiled child into a man of rough manners and violent emotions, as a result of his life in the woods and his constant association with boors. Although he was far too stupid to appreciate Madeleine as she deserved, he was yet strongly attracted by her beauty. The girl's frank contempt and dislike made him furious, and before long he became jealous as well. For though Madeleine had no feeling but aversion for her blackguard of a cousin, she did not extend that sentiment to men in general. Certainly not to one man in particular, Edmond Renaud. Edmond was a handsome youth and fully capable of appreciating Madeleine's character as well as her beauty. So, when he came to her home after completing his legal studies in Paris, he fell in love with her at once. At church he never took his eyes off her face, and on week days he haunted the vicinity of the Rousselin house, in the hope of getting a stolen glimpse of her beautiful features. He was very happy in this unavowed love, the more so that Madeleine's conscious look, blushes and air of embarrassment plainly told him that his feeling was returned. He was emboldened to make a formal proposition of marriage. This was promptly rejected by Mme. Rousselin, and Edmond's parents also had objections to offer on account of Madeleine's lack of fortune. Mme. Rousselin gave her niece's youth as the ground of her refusal, but in reality she was obeying the suggestion of her son, whom Madeleine's obvious attachment to his rival had made more furious than ever. And now the story becomes dramatic. Edmond remained in the country during half of the winter, his love only increased by obstacles, until he was forced to choose between two plans submitted to him by his father. He must either return to Paris or accept a colonial post which was offered to him. At all events, he must leave the spot, and forthwith. Madeleine, on her return from church one Sunday, found a note in her muff. There were only a few passionate lines, in which Edmond assured her of his love and begged for a meeting in which she could tell him whether it was returned or not. If she loved him, he would wait for her; if not, he would expatriate himself, efface himself forever. But he must have an answer, if only a word. He would steal into her garden that evening, conceal himself behind the big snowman which the gardener's sons had erected, and there wait patiently for her—for hours, if necessary. If she did not come at all, it would mean "no," and he would go. He carried out his programme, but the snow-man did not conceal him from the sharp eyes of a servant, who reported the matter to Louis Rousselin. "Hiding, you say?" Louis asked. "Yes, sir, behind the snow-man, like his shadow, opposite the house, which he is watching as if expecting someone. At first I thought he was a thief, but on coming nearer I recognized him. What shall I do?" "Nothing. You may go." "Ah! my fine fellow," Louis said to himself, "so you come and put yourself in my hands, do you?" Rousselin was on very good terms with himself that evening. A successful boar hunt and an excellent luncheon had conspired to make him much more animated than usual. There was a wicked light in his eyes, the reflection of a diabolical thought that had crossed his brain. He went up stairs, musing. At the first landing he stopped and stood watching the door of Madeline's room. He suspected that she knew who was hiding behind the snow-man. Assuming a careless air, and whistling, he approached a collection of weapons hanging on the wall, and took down a gun. He was trying the lock when Madeleine appeared. "Beastly weather for a walk, Madeleine," he said. Madeleine stopped in confusion. After a long conflict with herself her tender compassion for Edmond, combined with the fear of losing him for ever, had decided her to go to the rendezvous, and now she found herself confronted by her detested cousin. "You had better take a wrap, if you must go." sneered Louis: "overshoes, too, would not be amiss for a tramp in the snow." "What makes you think I am going out?" "The bright gleam in your pretty eyes, the rich color of your cheeks, and the violent beating of your heart—I can almost hear it. But you will be very foolish to run the risk of taking cold in the off-chance of finding a lover out there in the cave. It is too cold a night for Wells's son would be chilled. You won't for Frike my word for it." r, who was getting a good enjoyment out of his cousin's emo- it and mortification, threw the window which overlooked the has later garden. niture stol s nobody," he said, "absolute- terest in -except the snow-man.

Graves of Pawtucket, R. I., is on her way to Manila to marry Walter G. Gatchell, chief of the constabulary of the province of Union. The brave girl travels alone and will be married in Manila as soon as she arrives. Madeleine cried impulsively. "Why not?—just for the fun of the thing!" Poor Madeleine could scarcely speak distinctly, in her excitement and despair. "The noise," she stammered. "The report—so late in the evening. It might frighten someone." "Whom? My mother will not hear it, and you are forewarned. Are you afraid of scaring the servants?" "Please, Louis, I beseech you!" "Bah! All this fuss about not even a sparrow—only a snow-man!" "But if—if—by chance—there should be—someone—" "In the garden, at this hour? A thief, perhaps? All the better. It will be killing two birds with one stone. However, I can point a gun, I hope, and I intend to hit the snow-man alone—right in the heart. Here goes!" She sprang forward and grasped the gun, exclaiming: "No, no, you shall not shoot!" "Then there is someone there?" "Yes." "Your lover?" "I—I do not know." Madeleine retreated in confusion, dreadfully shamed by the confession that had been wrung from her, but thinking, in her ignorance of the workings of Rousselin's mind, that now all danger was passed. Meanwhile Rousselin stood nervously fingering his weapon, with his face distorted with rage, until another atrocious thought came to him and made him laugh aloud. "A fine arrangement, truly, and a pretty confession!" he sneered. "Mademoiselle has lovers who come prowling about my house at night. That is only an additional reason why I should exercise my rights. If I should wing this lover of yours, what complaint could he make against me? But, pshaw! it is only a fancy of yours. There is nobody behind the snow-man." "There is." "Edmond?" "Yes." Rousselin laughed no longer, and the girl made no further attempt at concealment. "Well," he said, "I give you your choice." "How?" "Either you swear to marry me—" "Oh!" "Or I fire." This brutal threat so shocked and overwhelmed Madeleine that she could find no answer but a sob. "Or I fire, I say!" "Oh! Then—well—yes!" Rousselin closed the window. "Do not cry," he said. "We shall get on well together, I have no doubt. It is something, you must remember, to be Mme. Rousselin." That great honor, however, won by so painful a sacrifice, Madeleine was destined never to enjoy. Edmond, convinced of her indifference and ignorant of the facts in the case, left the country on the following day, and Rousselin, after enjoying several weeks of hateful triumph, suddenly changed his mind. His cupidity was inflamed by the financial charms of an heiress whom his mother had discovered, and he coolly left Madeleine to nurse in secret her poor little aching heart—lacerated cruelly, wantonly, uselessly. It happens that way, in love, new and then.—Translated from the French of Henri Fevre for the New York Evening Post by Lawrence B. Fletcher. Maude Adams Figures as Government Claimant. Maude Adams hopes to receive $10,500 out of the appropriations aggregating $3,000,000 in the bill reported to the Senate recently by the committee on claims. Her cousin, William Kinkadden, Jr., hopes to receive a like amount. Both claims are included in the bill. In 1862 William Kinkadden, Miss Adams' uncle, contracted with the government to transport the First Colorado infantry from Denver to Fort Union, N. M., so as to make the troops available for service in the Civil war. The commanding officer required forced marches and as a result Kinkadden suffered loss by reason of having to abandon many animals en route. When the war was over he asked the government to reimburse him, putting in a claim for $21,000. Kinkadden is dead, but his two heirs are keeping up the fight in Congress for the money. Manufacturing Ancient Many Manufacturing Ancient Manuscripts. Signs are apparent of a revival in the manufacture of fraudulent "ancient" manuscripts. Since the Shapira episode, about ten years ago, the market in this department of misplaced ingenuity has been very flat, but it is now apparently recovering. The new quarterly statement of the Palestine exploration fund contains the following notice: "Information has reached the committee that a forged inscription has recently been offered for sale at Jerusalem under circumstances which seem to point to renewed activity on the part of the forgers, whose work attracted some notice a few years ago." Moreover, an advertisement has been recently appearing in a North Italian journal offering constant employmen to experts capable of imitating the handwriting of old manuscripts.—London Telegraph. The Spring Hat. The Amazon hat, turned up on both sides, will, it is said, be a favorite for spring wear. A new shap that also seems to have caught the popular fancy has a slight bend downward at both the back and the front. It is made of mousseiine de soie. Roses of a delicate pink muslin arranged in wreath effect and knots of black velvet ribbon are the favorite trimmings for this style. Straw hats will be relegated to second place in favor of tissue and fancy hats, that come in an endless variety of shapes. For trimming these straw braid will be a fashionable material. For hats where the stiffness given by a straw shape is required that material will be used, but only as a foundation, as it will be literally covered with flowers, foliage and lace. Fine lace scarfs are to be loosely knotted around the crowns of chip hats, have the ends falling over the edge at the back. Roses, with their foliage, lend the floral touch, and are to be placed around the crown. Beadwork of all sorts is to be used on decorated pieces for hats. New effects are also offered in embroidery, the designs being brought out in chinille and in silk net, incrusted with pearls or spangles, and sometimes both. A new fancy is to wire pale shades of ribbon into the semblance of a rose or other large flower. This is to be arranged on a spray of foliage and several bunches placed close together around the brim of any medium-sized hat. Toques and small hats are in many instances covered with flowers and small leaves, symmetrically arranged. When especially small blossoms are used they are bunched into pompons. Gold and silver tissue is now used to make foliage of the most fancy variety, and if fruit effects, such as tiny berries, grapes and currents, form a part of the spray, pearls are employed for the latter. Louis XV. bows of wired velvet silk or other suitable material are to be used on hats and bonnets with trimmings of the lighter kind. Some of these are decorated with touches of gilt. The almost universal adoption of lace for at least a part of the hat trimming has led milliners to buttonhole the design in guipure lace with gold thread, and apply medallions of decorated muslin or flower petals to Chantilly and other laces of a thinner 'exture, in order to obtain new effects.—New York Tribune. A Curious Transformation. Naturalists have long been familiar with a newt-like creature, breathing by gills and lungs both, and inhabiting the lakes of Mexico and other American waters. This is the Axolotl. It was also discovered that in certain localities this creature, which, by the way, breeds freely in Mexico, sheds its skin, casts off its gills and its tail fin, develops another color of body and leaves the water to become a land newt. Under this latter guise it is known as the Amblystoma. Naturally, the explanation of this curious transformation rests on the fact that the Axolotl is really the young or tadpole stage of the Amblystoma form, but the peculiarity here is that in its first stage it should breed and multiply, and continue to reproduce Axolotls, as if it were a perfectly mature animal. The occurrence of such cases points out to us one way in which species can be evolved, for, had we not been acquainted with the relationship of these forms, nobody would have hesitated to describe them as two essentially distinct animals. Lately it has been shown that, while in Colorado and Dakota the transformation is complete, in Mexico the Axolotl stage is apparently permanent. Here probably the influence of environment on a living being is typically illustrated.—London Chronicle. Hucksters Ejected from Capitol The people in the capitol were taken by surprise recently upon seeing two hucksters with bunches of game passing about accosting everyone in order to sell their produce. They were unsuccessful in their efforts, but plied their calling until the attention of the capitol police was called to them. They were then ejected from the building. One of the strictest rules about the capitol is that no goods of any kind shall be sold there, other than what is handled at the Senate and House restaurants. Some years ago vendors were allowed to sell curios in the corridor near the entrance to the House of Representatives, but that has long been discontinued. Even a newspaper cannot now be purchased within the precincts of the capitol.—Washington Star. THE OLD LADY OF THE RATS. Extraordinary Tastes of a Paris Rag-picker, Who Hates Cats. In the unlovely district of St. Ouen, Paris, lives an old ragpicker, well known to her neighbors on account of her aversion to cats. Her name is Louise Maritzman, but everyone knows her as Mother Matou. She was very unclean in her habits, and the old cabin where she lodged was in a filthy condition. For some time past, however, the odor from her dwelling has been growing worse every day and finally the inhabitants asked the police to interfere. Recently the commissaire, accompanied by an inspector, called on the old woman and found her seated in a chair in the center of her hovel, surrounded by over 500 rats. "Come in," said the old hag, "you have just arrived at lunch time." And as she spoke she cut up in small pieces an enormous chunk of horseflesh and threw it to the rats, whose number increased every minute. The rodents paid no attention to the strangers, but greedily devoured the meat and tumbled over one another in their anxiety to get the last morsel. Suddenly Mother Matou called out, "Toto!" "Lulu!" and a couple of enormous rats, bigger than any two of the others, came from the corner where they had been concealed and jumped on the knees of the old woman. One had a red ribbon round its neck, and the other a blue one. "These are my children," said the rappicker; "are they not nice? Unfortunately, I have lost others whom I loved quite as well, killed by the cursed cats. They are in the cemetery now. Come and see." She led the way into a cupboard, where, hanging from the roof, were thirty dead cats and on the floor were the corpses of nearly 200 rats, all laid out side by side. Ultimately a workman stopped up all the crevices, a basin of sulphur was set alight, and in a little while not a rat remained alive.—London Mail. LATEST MARKET REPORTS. Milwaukee, Feb. 26, 1902.

The House spent the day on the 20th working on the Indian appropriation bill. Forty-two of the sixty-two pages were disposed of. Several amendments were adopted, but none of much importance. The appropriation for preliminary work in the reservoir for the Gila river valley went out on a point of order. Mr. Smith (Arlz.) offered an amendment to strike out the appropriation for the Carlisle school, and it became the text for a general onslaught on the practice of educating Indians in Eastern schools. His amendment was defeated. Just before the close of the session Mr. Fitzgerald (New York) made an attack on the superintendent of the school at Mount Pleasant, Mich., who, he said, was charged with permitting the debauching of Indian girls. The House on the 21st passed the Indian appropriation bill. No amendments of importance were attached to it. The latter part of the session was devoted to the consideration of private claim bills, a number of which were passed. During the consideration of one of the bills, Mr. Kleberg (Dem., Tcx.), who is a German, made a brief speech, deprecating any attempt to make political capital out of the coming visit of Prince Henry. He said the United States should extend to him and the great nation he represents a hearty welcome and a true American hospitality. The House on the 24th passed a bill to divide Texas into four judicial districts, and also the Towney resolution, calling on the secretary of war for information concerning the transfer of sugar lands in Cuba since the American occupation. It then transacted some business pertaining to the consular appropriation bill. The bill carries an appropriation of $1,931,678, an increase of $82,950 over last year. It was made the vehicle for speeches on trusts, coinage and other irrelevant matters. Prince Henry entered the gallery of the House and was loudly applauded, some venturing to give vent to cheers. Prince Henry gracefully bowed and was then shown to his seat by Mr. Hill (Ill.). He remained for fifteen minutes, during which time he evinced the greatest interest in the proceedings. The House, in committee of the whole on the 25th, spent most of the day in consideration of the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill. Mr. Richardson (Dem., La.) objected to statements made by Mr. Corliss (Rep., Mich.) in the report favoring government ownership of the contemplated Pacific cable. Mr. Green (Dem., Pa.) spoke in favor of reform in the consular service. "Our consuls," he declared, "with few exceptions, are worthless." Mr. Grosvenor (Rep., O.) took exceptions. "The United States consular service is far superior to that of any other country," he said. The House on the 26th sent the Philippine tariff bill to conference, nonconcurring in all the Senate amendments. The Democrats sought to amend the amendments by reducing the rate of duty and declaring the United States should relinquish all claim to the archipelago, but all propositions were defeated. Mr. Tawney (Minn.) made a personal explanation regarding Gov. Toole of Montana, saying that in formerly classing the governor as an opponent of Gov. Van Sant in the railroad merger case he had been under a misapprehension. Senate. The Senate on the 20th devoted its time to the Philippine question. Mr. Patterson (Col.), one of the minority members of the Philippine committee, delivered his first extended speech in the Senate. Mr. Nelson (Minn.) presented a legal and constitutional argument in support of this government's action in the Philippine archipelago and sharply criticised Mr. Patterson for injecting into the controversy the question of sectarianism. Mr. McCumber (N. D.) urged that Congress should not blind the future now by a declaration of a definite policy regarding the Philippines, as it was desirable that all possible information should be in hand before a permanent policy was determined upon. For more than six hours on the 21st the Senate had the tariff bill under discussion. Mr. Bate (Dem., Tenn.) delivered a carefully prepared speech in opposition to the pending measure. He was followed by Mr. Spooner, who declared that "the measure advanced by the Democratic minority here would raise hell in the Philippines." That was the keynote of the Wisconsin senator's speech. It was an arraignment of the Democratic party in and out of Congress for their attitude on the Philippine question. Mr. Tillman addressed the Senate in opposition to the pending bill. He declared that the expression of the motive for enacting the bill were a subterfuge and a humbug, and everybody knows it. In the Senate on the 22d a fist-fight occurred between Senators McLaurin and Tillman, both of South Carolina. McLaurin arose and said that Tillman's statement regarding him was a "willful and deliberate and malicious lie." Tillman jumped over the chairs and struck McLaurin in the face. A vicious encounter ensued. Both men clinched and struck frantically at each other when Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms Layton sprang between them and several senators selzed the men and parted them. It was with great difficulty that the men were parted. The chair, without putting a motion to the Senate, declared the Senate had determined to go into executive session, and amid great excitement the galleries and the floor were cleared. In executive session the Senate at once took up the startling encounter and a resolution was offered referring the matter to the committee on privileges and elections to report as to what method the Senate would pursue. Both made apologies to the Senate, but were permitted to do so only with the understanding that their apologies did not purge them of contempt. During Mr. Tillman's speech in the Senate, prior to the McLaurin incident, a lively tilt occurred between him and Mr. Spooner over the part that W. J. Bryan had in the ratification of the Parle treaty. Mr. Tillman declared that improper influences were brought to bear to secure votes for the ratification of the treaty, and he insisted that the Republican side knew how they got the necessary votes. Mr. Spooner demanded to know what those improper influences were, and upon whom they were brought. He denounced as a coward any man who would impeach a senator without naming him. After eight hours of tumultuous debate on the 24th the Senate, shortly before 7 o'clock in the evening, passed the Philippine tariff bill by a vote of 46 to 26, a strictly party vote. Mr. Tillman and Mr. McLaurin, the two senators from South Carolina, who on Saturday last were declared by the Senate to be incontempt because of their fight in the chamber, were not permitted by voice or by vote to participate in the proceedings. The question as to their rights to vote precipitated a sharp debate lasting nearly two hours. During the debate on the Philippine bill Mr. McComas and Mr. Wellington (Md.) became involved in a controversy, during the course of which the latter declared that if Mr. McComas should make his statements outside of the Senate chamber he would brand them as malicious falsehoods. He was called to order promptly and resumed his seat amid considerable excitement. Many amendments were offered to the Philippine bill, but except those offered by the committee, only one, an amendment restricting the operation of the sedition laws enacted by the Taft commission, was passed. During the session the guest of the nation, Prince Henry of Germany, was escorted into the chamber to a seat by the side of President Pro-Tem Frye. As the prince ascended the president's platform the Senate rose as a body and a hearty applause swept over the floor and the thronged galleries. The Senate probably will suspend Senators Tillman and McLaurin. Their names were restored to the rolls on the 25th in order that they may be stricken off in a formal and regular way by a vote of the Senate. This plan was decided upon at a conference of the Republican members. It relieves the president pro tem, of the responsibility. As soon as the journal of the preceding day's session had been read and approved, Mr. McMillan (Rep., Mich.) a member of the Republican steering committee, was on his feet. He called up the message of the House of Representatives, announcing to the Senate the death last fall of Representative Rosseau Crump of Michigan. He presented resolutions, which were adopted, and then the Senate, as an additional mark of respect, adjourned, having been in session about fifteen minutes. When the Senate met on the 26th Mr. Burrows (Mich.), chairman of the committee on privileges and elections, said that the committee was in the midst of the consideration of the Tillman-McLaurin episode, a decision upon which had not been reached. By instruction of the committee he therefore moved that the Senate adjourn. Without objection the motion was carried and the Senate adjourned. —Taxes amounting to over £1,000,000 are collected every week at Somerset House. This Is What a Couple of Eastern Farmers Learned When on a Recent Trip to Canada. Messrs. J. E. Blum and J. Grumper of Manchester, Washtenaw County, Michigan, paid a visit to Alberta last summer and saw there a Mr. Shantz, one of the good old Pennsylvania stock, who had come recently—some seven years ago—from Ontario, with $24 in his pocket. He has certainly prospered, as he now owns over seventy head of cattle, has a good log house framed over, also a good barn, and in all respects looks a thrifty and well-to-do farmer. He had some good crops of oats and barley. After spending some days in Calgary and Edmonton they returned to Regina, Assiniboia, and looked around the country north to Lumsden and Balgonie, where the crops appeared very promising and heavy, continuing up the Regina and Long Lake road, they came to Saskatoon, on the crossing of the South Saskatchewan river. Of this district they say: "The country here pleased us better than any we have seen. We drove out eighteen miles in a northwesterly direction through the Smith settlement. This is a wonderful district; the growth was splendid, all kinds of grains and roots were perfection. The older settlers had good buildings of all kinds and looked very prosperous, in fact we came to the conclusion that we had found what we were looking for, a good country. While the nature of the soil changes and is in some parts light, in others stony, and again heavy, generally speaking it leaves nothing to be desired. Hay and water are also in abundance, and wood can be found along the river slopes and islands. We have decided to locate there and shall certainly advise our friends to do likewise. We also trust that this report may have the effect of drawing the attention of land seekers to this district, and can honestly advise all such to locate there. They will find a good thing. As farmers ourselves, from a good district in Michigan, we have come to the conclusion that properly farmed Western Canada will grow almost anything." Ask for information from any agent of the Canadian Government. Tumblers that Proved Useless. Some months ago, before the outbreak of the war in South Africa, a consignment of 20,000 tumblers was sent to Cape Town. They were engraved with the motto of the South African republic and meant for drinking the health of the burgers in when they took Cape Town. Have you seen Mrs. Austin's new dress?

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. For eight years I had female trouble, falling of the womb and other complications. During that time I was more or less of an invalid and not much good for anything, until one day I found a book in my hall telling of the cures you could perform. I became interested; I bought a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and was helped; I continued its use and in seven months was cured, and since that time I have had perfect health. Thanks, dear Mrs. Pinkham again, for the health I now enjoy." — MRS. JENNIE O'DONNELL, 278 East 31st St., Chicago, Ill. — $5000 forfelt if above testimonial is not genuine.

Jeffries and Fitzsimmons have agreed as to their percentages of the swag, win or lose, and now they are both ready to work the combined percentages out of the public. There is no sympathy for the robbers who "held up" a gambling institution at Clinton, Iowa, and stripped the keepers and the habitues; but in this regard they are no worse off than their victims. The ransom for Miss Stone has been paid, and the United States is experiencing something akin to the feelings which moved Americans during the times when the Tripolitan pirates were in the ransom business. The only strange thing in connection with the pranks of the Princeton students, at Trenton, is that they used yellow instead of red paint; yellow is generally considered the distinct property of the reporters of certain newspapers. A heavy purchase of Mexican timber lands by Menominee capitalists suggests a longer range of view by those who are in the lumber business than that enjoyed by optimists who imagine that the pine of Wisconsin and Michigan can never be exhausted. The friction which has resulted in the issuance of an order discontinuing the light on Liberty's torch, in New York harbor, should be corrected, and the light replaced. A moral obligation to keep the light burning was assumed when the gift was accepted. The battleship Illinois achieved only 15½ knots an hour on her trial trip, but this did not deprive her of the proud right of being heralded as the "queen of the navy." Every new ship is so announced after her trial, without regard for speed or behavior. Thieves have never been respecters of persons, creeds or sanctuaries, and the theft of the jewels from the altar of the Tiffany chapel in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, on Cathedral Heights, New York, is what might have been expected were the cathedral unguarded. When it is necessary in some cases to put the remains of the dead in steel cages, and imbed the cages in blocks of cement, there is no safety for valuable jewels which enrich the altars of cathedrals. Andrew Carnegie has addressed to Henry B. Herbert, chairman of the Canal Association of Greater New York, a letter in which he says that all the recent railway consolidations operate against New York City in her fight to retain her commercial supremacy. He says that at the present time New York state is not progressing so rapidly as the state of Pennsylvania, and that the hope of New York lies in developing her manufacturing facilities through the Erie Canal. Beard Over Ten Feet Long One of the notabilities in the town of Montlucon, in the department of Allier, France, is a man named Coulon, aged 76, whose beard measures 10 feet 10½ inches, and his mustache is over a yard and a half long. He spends every Sunday dressing his beard, and when he exhibits his luxurious growth the inhabitants of the town come out to see him go by.—London Mail. —Berlin's Black Book, the criminal record kept by the police; now consists of thirty-seven volumes, containing 21,000 photographs of criminals of all classes.

Roosevelt is the first President of the United States since Abraham Lincoln who had expressed himself publicly in favor of woman suffrage before attaining the presidency. Cleveland proved himself favorable to it by actions rather than words, as he signed bills giving women partial suffrage in New York when he was governor of that state. Hayes favored it in his quiet way, and helped the senior editor of the Woman's Journal to get a woman's right resolution through the national Republican convention of 1872. Garfield recognized its growing importance. He said, "Laugh as we may, put it aside as a jest if we will, keep it out of Congress or political campaigns, still the woman question is rising on our horizon larger than the size of a man's hand, and some solution ere long that question must find." Some other presidents were believed to be more or less friendly to it, but Roosevelt and Lincoln have been the only ones to put themselves conspicuously on record. Where Animals Get Drunk. It is a well-known fact that the fruit of the umganu tree of South Africa yields a strong intoxicating drink for the natives. A traveler says elephants are also fond of it, and often become quite tipsy, staggering about, playing antics, screaming so as to be heard for miles and having tremendous fights.

Corinthians xv., 32, “I have fought with beasts at Ephe- sus.” Crossing the Alps by the Mont Cenis pass or through the Mont Cenis tunnel, you are in a few hours set down at Ve- rona, Italy, and in a few minutes begin examining one of the grandest ruins of the world, the Amphitheater. The whole building sweeps around you in a circle. You stand in the arena where the combat was once fought or the race run, and on all sides the seats rise, tier above tier, until you count forty elevations, or gal- leries, as I shall see fit to call them, in which sat the senators, the kings and the 25,000 excited spectators. At the sides of the arena and under the galleries are the cages in which the lions and tigers are kept without food until, frenzied with hunger and thirst, they are let out upon some poor victim, who, with his sword and alone, is condemned to meet them. I think that Paul himself once stood in such a place and that it was not only figuratively, but literally, that he had “fought with beasts at Ephesus.” The gala day has come. From all the world the people are pouring into Verona, Men, women and children, orators and senators, great men and small, thousands upon thousands come, until the first gal- lery is full, and the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth—all the way up to the twentieth, all the way up to the thirtieth, all the way up to the fortieth. Every place is filled. Immensity of au- dience sweeping the great circle. Si- lence. The time for the contest has come. A Roman official leads forth the victim into the arena. Let him get his sword with firm grip into his right hand. The 25,000 sit breathlessly watching. I hear the door at the side of the arena creak open. Out plunges the half-starved lion, his tongue athirst for blood, and with a roar that brings all the galleries to their feet he rushes against the sword of the compatant. Do you know how strong-a stroke a man will strike when his life depends upon the first thrust of his blade? The wild beast, lame and bleed- ing, slinks back toward the side of the arena; then rallying his wasted strength he comes up with fiercer eye and more terrible roar than ever, only to be driven back with a fatal wound, while the com- batant comes in with stroke after stroke until the monster is dead at his feet, and the 25,000 clap their hands and utter | a shout that makes the city tremble. Sometimes the audience came to see 2 race; sometimes to see gladiators fight each other, until the people, compassion- ate for the fallen, turned their thumbs up as an appeal that the vanquished be spared, and sometimes the combat was with wild beasts. All Have Lions to Fight. To one of the Roman amphitheatrical audiences of 100,000 people Paul refers when he says, “We are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses.” The direct reference in the last passage is made to a race; but elsewhere having dis- cussed that, 1 take now Paul's favorite idea of the Christian life as a combat. The fact is that every Christian man has a lion to fight. Yours is a bad tem- per. The gates of the arena have been opened, and this tiger has come out to destroy your soul. It has lacerated you with many a wound. You have been thrown by it time and again, but in the strength of God you have arisen to drive it back. I verily believe you will conquer. I think that the temptation is getting weaker and weaker, You have given it so many wounds that the prospect is that it will die, and you shall be victor, through Christ. Courage, brother! Do not let the sands of the arena drink the blood of your soul! Your lion is the passion for strong drink. You may have contended against it for twenty years; but it is strong of body and thirsty of tongue. You have tried to fight it back with broken bottle or empty wine flask. Nay, that is not the weapon: With one horrible roar he will seize thee by the throat and rend thee limb from limb. Take this weapon, sharp and keen—reach up and get it from God's armory—the sword of the Spirit. With that thou mayest drive him back and conquer!” But why specify when every man and woman has a lion to fight? If there be one here who has no besetting sin, let him speak out, for him have I offended. If you have not fought the lion, it is because you haye let the lion eat you up. Ths | very moment the contest goes on. The ‘Trajan celebration, where 10,000 gladia- tors fought and 11,000 wild beasts were slain, was not so terrific a struggle as that which at this moment goes on in many a soul. The combat was for the life the body; this is for the life or\ihe soul, That was with wild beasts fremgthe jungle; this is with the rearing lion hell. A @oud of Witnesses.

I see him come down from the gallery into the aréna to help us in the fight, shouting until all up and down his voice is heard: “Fear not! I will help thee! I will strengthen thee by the right hand of my power!” ‘They gave to the men in the arena in the olden time food to thicken their blood, so that it would flow slowly and that for a longer time the people might gloat over the scene. But our King has no pleasure in our wounds, for we are bone of his bone, flesh of his flesh, blood of his blood. In all the anguish of our heart The Man of Sorrows bore a part. Once in the ancient amphitheater a lion with one paw caught the combatant’s sword and with his other paw caught his shield. The man took his knife from his girdle and slew the beast. The king, sitting in the gallery, said: “That was not fair. The lion must. be slain by a sword.” Other lions were turned out, and the poor victim fell. You cry, “Shame! shame!” at such meanness, But the King in this case is our brother, and he will see that we have fair play, He will forbid the rushing out of more lioas than we can meet. He will not suffer us to be tempted above that we are able. Thank God! The King is in the gallery! His eyes are on us. His heart is with us. His hand will deliver us. “Blessed are they who put their trust in him.” The Angels in the Gallery. I look again, and I see the angelic gal- lery. There they are—the angel that swung the sword at the gate of Eden, the same that Ezekiel saw upholding the throne of God, and from which I look away, for the splendor is insufferable. Here are the guardian angels. That one watched a patriarch; this one protected a child; that one has been pulling a soul out of temptation! All these are messengers of light! Those drove the Spanish #r- mada on the rocks. This turned Senna- cherib’s living host into a heap of 185,000 corpses. Those yonder chanted the Christmas carol over Bethlehem until the chant awoke the shepherds. These at creation stood in the balcony of heaven and serenaded the newborn world wrap- ped in swaddling clothes of light. And there, holier and mightier than all, is Michael, the archangel. To command an earthly host gives dignity, but this one is leader of the 20,000 chariots of God and of the ten thousand times ten thou- sand angels. I think God gives command to the archangel, and the archangel to the seraphim, and the seraphim to the cherubim, until all the lower orders of heaven hear the command and go forth on the high behest. Now, bring on your lions! Who can fear? All the spectators in the angelic gallery are our friends. ‘He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot.” Though the arena be crowded with temptations, we shall, with the angelic help, strike them down in the name of our God and leap on their fallen car- casses!) O bending throng of bright an- gelic faces and swift wings and lightning foot, I hail you to-day from the dust and struggle of the arena! I look again, and I see the gallery of the prophets and apostles. Who are those mighty ones up yonder? Hosea and Jere- miah and Daniel and Isaiah and Paul and Peter and John and James. There sits Noah, waiting for all the world to come into the ark, and Moses, waiting till the last Red Sea shall divide, and Jere- miah, waiting for the Jews to return, and John of the apocalypse, waiting for the swearing of the angel that time shall be no longer. Glorious spirits! Ye were howled at, ye were stoned, ye were spit upon! They have been in this fight them- selves, and they are al} with us. Daniel knows all about lious. Paul fought with beasts at Ephesus. Help from the Prophets. In the ancient amphitheater the people got so excited that they would shout from the galleries to men in the arena: “At it again!” “Forward!” “One more stroke!” “Look out!” “Fall back!” “Huzza! Huzza!’? So in that gallery, prophetic and apostolic, they cannot keep their peace. Danie! cries ont, “Thy God will deliver thee from the mouth of the lions!” David exclaims, “He will not suffer thy foot to be moved!’ Isaiah calls out: “Fear not! Iam with thee! Be not dis- mayed!” Paul exclaims, “Victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!’ That throng of prophets and apostles cannot keep still. They make the welkin ring with shouting and halleluiahs. I look again, and I see the gallery of the martyrs. Who is that? Hugh Lati- mer, sure enough! He would not apolo- gize for the truth he preached, and so he died, the night before swinging from the bedpost in perfect glee at the thought of emancipation. Who is that army of 6,666? They are the Theban legion who died for the faith. Here is a larger host in magnificent array, 884,000, who per- ished for Christ in the persecutions of Diocletian. Yonder is a family group, Fe- licitas of Rome and her children. While they were dying for the faith she stood encouraging them. One son was whip- ped to death by thorns; another was flung from a rock; another was beheaded, At last the mother became a martyr. There they are together, a family group in heaven! Yonder is John Bradford, who said in the fire, “We shall have a merry ennner with the Tord to-night’? Wonder of persecution have gone Oe ee Sow are sheathed and the mob hushed. Now they watch us with an all observing sympathy. They know all the pain, all the hardship, all the anguish, ali the injustice, all the privation. They cannot keep still, They ery: “Courage! The fire will not consume; the floods cannot drown; the lions cannot devour. Cour- age down there in the arena!” Some Emipent Spectators. : What? Are they all looking? This hour we answer back the salutation they give and ery, “Hail, sons and daughters of the fire!” I look again, and I see another gallery —that of eminent Christians. What) strikes me strangely is the mixing in companionship of those who on earth could not agree. There is Albert Barnes and around him the presbytery who tried him for heterodoxy! Yonder are Lyman Beecher ond the church, court that de- nounced him! Stranger “than all, there are John Calvin and James Arminius! Who would have thought that they would sit so loviugly together? There are George Whitefield and the ministers who would not let him_come into their pulpits because they thought him a ae ‘Phere are the sweet singers Topl&dy, Montgomery, Charles Wesley, Isaac Watts and Mrs. Sigourney, If heaven had had no musi¢e before they went UD. they would have started the singing. And there the band of missionaries—David “Abeel, talking of China redeemed; and John Sendder, of India saved; and David ‘Brainerd, of the aborigines evangelized; and Mrs. Adoniram Judson, whose pray- ers for Burma took heaven by violence! ru these Christians are looking into the arena, Our struggle is nothing to theirs! ‘Do we in Christ's cause suffer from the cold? They walked Greenland’s icy mountains. Do we suffer from the heat? They sweltered in tropics. Do we get fatigued? ‘They fainted, with none to care for them but cannibals. Are we per- secuted? They were anathematized. I look again, and I see the gallery of our departed. Many of those in the other galleries we have heard of, but these we knew. Oh, how familiar their faces! They sat at our tables, and we walked to the house of God in company. Have they forgotten us? Those fathers and mothers started us on the road of life. Are they careless as to what be- comes of us? And those children—do they look with stolid indifference as to whether we win or lose this battle of life? They remember the day they left us. They remember the agony of the last farewell. Though years in heaven, they know our faces. "They remember our sorrows. They speak our names, They watch this fight for heaven. Nay, I see them rise up and Jean over and wave be- fore us their recognition and encourage- ment. That gallery is not full. They are keeping places for us. After we have slain the lion they expect the King to call us, saying, “Come up higher!” Be- tween the hot struggles in the arena I wipe the sweat from my brow and stand on tiptoe, reaching up my right hand to clasp theirs in rapturous handshaking. while their voices come ringing down from the gallery, crying, “Be thou faith- ful unto death, and you shall have a crown!” The Gaze of the Universe.

Gal- lery of friends and kindred! O majestic cireles of light and love! 'Throngs, throngs, throngs! How shall we stand the gaze of the universe? Myriads of eyes beaming on us!

With God for us and angels for us and proph- ets and apostles for us and the great souls of the ages for us and our glori- fied kindred for us—shall we give up the fight and die? No, Son of God, who ie die to save us! No, ye angels, whose wings are spread forth to shelter us! No, ye prophets and apostles, whose warnings startle us! No, ye loved ones, whose arms are outstretched to receive us! No; we will never surrender! My hearers, shall we die in the arena or rise to join our friends in the gal- lery?

KIDD. youth was passed at his native place, where he acquired such an education as schools and academies of that time af- forded, and imbibing those lessons of fra- gality, integrity and justice for which his: father was noted, At the age of 17 he became a private in Co. C, Twenty-fifth Wisconsin infan- try. He served in Gen. Rusk’s regiment, carrying a musket from August 9, 1862, until the close of the war.

Fadness was conscious until the end, and at his request he was taken to Tabi- tha hospital, where he was attended by the house pre and surgeon, He had arrived in Chicago Saturday to at- tend to some business and visit friends near Humboldt park. Yesterday, with his nephew, Charles Fadness, he climbed the stairs to the elevated station on Madison street. Humboldt park train was just pulling out. Fadness tried to enter the gate, which was half closed, but missed his footing. His feet a et between the car and the station platform, and his body was drawn down so far that he did not dare release his hold on the car. Guard Harry Marsh tried to stop the train, but before the signal could be obeyed by Motorman William J. Johnson the victim had been dragged to the end of the platform. His body was badly bruised and he released his hold from sheer exhaustion as the train slipped past the end of the eae Fadness, who was 38 years old and of large stature, fell heavily to the flagging below.

These pretty souvenirs are placed in scrapbooks which are sold for the purpose, though an ordinary scrapbook will serve very well. The foreign cards are interesting, and girls who have friends in Europe are asking them to send these souvenirs. The cards must have passed through the mail to be of value to the collector. The for- eign cards are either fanciful in design or have pictures of monuments, famous buildings, noted persons, peasant cos- tumes, sovereigns of Europe, ete, The American cards are usually of buildings, pirate residences and streets in New York and other cities, views of Yellow- stone park, Colorado, Florida, California, and elsewhere, Another Man Altogether. Valley, Mo., Feb. 24.—There is a man in this town who has undergone a most remarkable physical change in the last few months. His name is Perry Nelson and those who knew him but a short time ago are amazed at his present condition. He had not been feeling well for some time and suspecting that the trou- ble came from his kidneys, which he knew were not any too strong. he de- termined to try a kidney medicine, Dodd’s Kidney Pills were highly rec- ommended and Mr. Nelson began a treatment of them. He was awarded by a complete restoration to vigorous good health. He says: “I used six boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and they have helped me a great deal. I feel like another man and can recommend Dodd’s Kidney Pills very highly.” Bacteria in Writing Inks. The authorities at Minden, Germany, have made bacteriological examination of school inks.

CONGRESS' CLOCK-TICKS. Discoveries Concerning House of Representatives's Timepiece. A curious fact concerning the clock in the hall of the House of Representatives came to light during the summer. The cleaners tackled this clock, supposing it to be of some ordinary hard wood and cast iron, bedded under varnish. It looked ordinary enough, anyhow. The cleaners scratched and jabbed and scrubbed till nearly an inch thick of varnish had been removed, when it was found that the clock is incased in bronze. Beautiful bronze, too. About the face is a wealth of fruit, oak leaves and acorns. The chief beauty of the clock, however, is the eagle standing with spread wings on the top of the case, and the bronze figure of an American Indian and a hunter, which support it on each side. These are real works of art, standing about three feet high, the Indian in war bonnet and scalp shirt, leans upon his bow, and the hunter is in buckskin suit, with his gun in his hand, while both seem looking down on the House below. There is no record whatever of the purchase of the clock, but it was in its place when the hall was first occupied as the House of Representatives, so the "oldest inhabitant" says. The clock has been "gold leafed" instead of varnished, and the bronze figures are all restored to their original state, and the whole now presents a pleasing appearance.—Washington Star. —Representative Kimball has introduced a bill in the Massachusetts House to license cats. Those unlicensed are to be killed. ALABASTINE DO YOU WANT A FORTUNE? If So Act at Once-Invest Some of Your Savings in Sam Huston Oil Stock. It will surely pay you.

EXERCISE YOUR MEMORY. It Never Fails but Simply Becomes Languid from Non-Use. Memory does not "fail" (except in loss of all the faculties); it simply gets weak and languid for want of use—just as the physical organs do. People often say "My memory is failing" when it is really as good as ever, if they would give it a chance. A word, a date, a name, an incident, comes up, or rather fails to come up when you want it. These seems to be no possible way of remembering it. You make two or three efforts, give up, and say: "There's no use; it's gone from me!" Nonsense!—it hasn't! It is there just as much as it ever was; only there are a lot of things over it. Keep at work, bring your will to bear upon it; try and try and try, and after a while you can get it. And better, you will find that the exercise required in remembering it will help you next time, and that a little toil and determination put together will accomplish wonders in the whole range of the faculties. Look over your memory, see where you are most deficient, and exercise it in that respect. You can do it at any old time; while you are walking, riding, resting after a day's work, or listening perforce to a dull speaker. Don't let a few failures discourage you; the long corridors of recollection, lined upon both sides with valuable material, will be open for you because of your importunity, if you use it.—Everywhere. BEFORE HE TOOK VOGELER'S He Could Not Touch His Wife's Dinners, and They Were "Fit for a King." So writes our esteemed friend, Mr. Frank Chambers, of 9 Bennett street, Chiswick. "For over two years I suffered agonies from indigestion, and became reduced to a mere shadow of my stalwart self. I would return home from my business feeling so faint that I could hardly drag one leg after the other; my dear wife did all she possibly could to tempt me with dainty dishes, and as I entered the house I sniffed and thought: 'Oh, how good; I know I can eat that!' But, alas! no sooner had I eaten a few mouthfuls, I felt sick; severe pains shot through my chest and shoulder blades, my eyes swam and everything seemed black, and I became alternately hot and cold, and got up from such a dainty dinner heartily sick of living, and feeling I was a sore trial to everybody. I may mention that I was also very much troubled with a scaly skin, and often boils. But one evening I noticed my wife seemed more cheerful than usual. I questioned her and found she had been reading a pamphlet which spoke of men afflicted just as I was, and who had been cured by Vogeler's Compound. Said she: 'What gives me more faith in it is that it is made from the formula of an eminent physician now in active practice in the West End of London, England, so I am sure it is no quack thing.' 'All right, dear, let's have a bottle,' said I. After taking the contents of the first bottle, I felt very much better, and determined to give this remedy a fair trial, and I can positively assure you that a few bottles have made a new man of me. I can sleep well, eat anything, and thoroughly enjoy life. I have told several friends who were suffering the same as myself, and they all wish me to say that they are like new men. I sincerely bless the great physician who gave you the formula of Vogeler's Curative Compound, and also yourselves for making its virtues known to a suffering public." The St. Jacobs Oil Co., Baltimore, will send a sample of Vogeler's Compound free to any one. Medicine Bottles as Gods. A lady missionary in Burmah gives the following account of how she was the innocent cause of the worship of medicine bottles having been instituted. In one of her tours she came upon a village where cholera was raging. Having with her a quantity of pain killer, she went from house to house administering the remedy to those attacked, and left a number of bottles to be used after she had gone. Returning to the village some months subsequently, she was met by the head man of the community, who cheered and delighted her by this intelligence: "Teacher, we have come over to your side; the medicine did us so much good that we have accepted your god." Overjoyed at this news, she was conducted to the house of her informant, who, opening a room, showed her the pain-killer bottles solemnly arranged in a row upon the shelf, and before them the whole company immediately prostrated themselves in worship.—Stray Stories. Have you seen Mrs. Austin's new dress? American Gentleman Wants Chaperon We know the paid chaperon who undertook to point the American maiden straight for the Queen's drawing room and a titled husband. Now the American man requires a chaperon if this advertisement, which has been appearing in a morning paper is genuine: "An American gentleman visiting London, whose tastes tend to theaters and frivolities rather than to archaeology, botany, etc., desires entree to congenial (Bohemian) society; liberal terms." He seems to know what he wants, and he does not want either Kew gardens or the British museum.—London Chronicle. Alabastine, the only durable wall coating, takes the place of scaling kalsomines, wall paper and paint for walls. It can be used on plaster, brick, wood or canvas. ELEPHANT FEET GOOD EATING. Housewives Instructed the Preparation of This Delicacy. Prof. N. Hill Nesbitt tells his French classes and their friends all about South Africa in a lecture. Elephants' feet, he says, is a very dainty viand from the South African point of view, and is not half bad from any point of view. He would like to see the delicacy become popular and this is the way to prepare it: "First catch your elephant. Then you cut off his feet, wrap them in a covering of earth and leaves and put them in an underground oven; that is, an oven hollowed out of the ground. The feet of the elephant are considered a great delicacy when prepared properly and I regard them as excellent eating myself. I have eaten them on many occasions in South Africa. They are far superior to pigs' feet. I have heard that the rhinoceros, foot is also a great dainty, but my experience did not extend that far. The elephants are captured in a very ingenious manner. "It is known by the natives that the animals always return to a particular tree at night to rest. The animals lean against the trees half standing and half reclining. The natives cut the trees half or three-quarters through, enough so that the elephants' weight will cause them to fall to the ground when they lean against the trees. The natives are waiting in ambush and the elephant is soon tied fast and the rest is easy"—Kansas City Journal. WHAT KILLS DOCTORS. They Die Just a Little Faster than Their Patients. According to the statistics accumulated by the actuaries of the American insurance companies, physicians die, upon an average, just a little faster than their patients. Only three causes of death show a lower proportion in this occupation than is the case in the average occupation: Phthisis, diseases of the respiratory system and accident. On the other hand, mortality from diseases of the liver, of the circulatory and urinary systems, as well as from suicide, appears to be greatly in excess. From gout and diabetes, physicians suffer about three times as heavily as the average in men of other occupations. Among doctors and members of the legal and clerical professions diseases of the heart are the most frequent of all causes of death.—New York Medical Journal. STATE OF OHIO, CITY OF TOLEDO, ss.

The Antaimoro, one of the oldest tribes of Madagascar, possess the secret of making, from the pulp of a native shrub, a very beautiful and enduring kind of paper, resembling parchment. Each family possesses a few sheets of this paper, on which its chronicles and traditions are recorded, and the same paper is used for transcribing the laws of Mohammedanism. The paper is said to have been invented in the middle of the Ninth century by a Mohammedan shipwrecked on the coast, who desired to transcribe his torn and water-soaked copy of the Koran in an enduring form. The Antaimoro will only make the paper for sale when some pressing necessity arises. - Youth's Companion. Have you seen Mrs. Austin's new dress? Aristocrats as Milkmen. The milk trade attracts aristocrats. Lord Rayleigh is a milkman and owns one of the finest businesses in the home counties. Every morning special trains loaded with cans of milk from his dairy leave the station at Hatfield Peverel for London. He owns a herd of over a thousand cows. The late Lord Vernon had a large dairy farm at Sudbury Hall, near Derby, and carried on an extensive business. The late Lord Hampden started and maintained a large establishment of this sort at Glynde, which was known as the "Creameries," and proved highly successful.

GOVERNOR OF OREGON Uses Pe-ru-na in His Family For Colds and Grip. Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Letters of congratulation and commendation testifying to the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest. The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan, the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the preacher—all agree that Pe-ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are especially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and so forth. The Governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con- SALZER'S New 20th Test Yield 500 CLASS THE TIME Here's the most likely on earth.

Its great merit is that it never sags. For gateposts he used 8x8 timber, set fully twelve feet apart. With the idea of letting a load of hay through, the cap piece ought to be fully twelve feet above the ground, and may be advantageously cut out by 6x8 stuff. The posts should be set in stone or cement, so as to be proof against the action of the frost. A sill or threshold is also provided. This should measure 6x8 or 8x8, and consist of oak or chestnut. The better the timber for the rest of this frame the longer it will last. The full length upright of each gate GATE CANNOT SAG. is made from 4x4 hardwood scantling. The upper ends are rounded, and inserted in holes bored in the lower side of (but not entirely through) the cap piece. The pins of the lower ends should be of metal. Pieces of sawmill plate, in which holes have been punched, should be fastened to the sill for these pins to play in. Thus the pins will be kept from wearing the wood. A similar plate should be placed where the gates meet, to accommodate the vertical bolt on one of them. The other gate should have a latch. The slats and braces may be made from stuff 11/4 inches thick and four inches wide. They are attached to each other and to the uprights with bolts. The short braces are on the opposite side of the slats from the long ones, so that the same bolt may go through both where they overlap. When finished, the frame and gates should be well painted. It will be seen that these gates can be used singly or together, and that they swing in either direction. It is always a convenience to have a gate swing away from you, no matter from which side you approach. How to Tie a Grain Bag. Not all farmers know how to tie a grain bag when filled so that the cord will not slip. The cord used should be strong, and for the ordinary bag about eighteen inches long. It should then be doubled and both ends passed through the loop, as shown in the cut, after slipping the doubled cord around the bag. Pull the cord closely around the TIE FOR A GRAIN BAG. reck of the bag and draw the ends in opposite directions, then tie in a firm bowknot. A Good Location Necessary. A Good Location Necessary. The first thing required in starting in the poultry business is a location. This ought to be near a good market, but cannot always be—that is, without paying too high for it. All extra expense should be curtailed in this business, as the income comes in small amounts. After a location is settled upon a free range is a necessity. That gives the needed exercise, and prevents an accumulation of lice. The next thing is an adaptability to the business. If one cannot be content with small earnings, and cannot save them as they come in, he should not undertake the business. The poultry should be breeds that lay in winter, when eggs are high, if one breeds fowls for the eggs. This branch of the business I like best. I prefer it to raising poultry for the meat, though the latter may be more profitable in some localities.—Mrs. L. W. Osborne, in Poultry Farmer. Curing Cheese. Curing is one of the important processes of cheese manufacture. The cheeses should be placed in a room which can be kept at a uniform temperature fo 65 to 70 degrees. They should be turned at least once a day and thoroughly rubbed with the hand. Some advise removing the cloth as soon as the cheeses are put on the shelves, while others suggest leaving it on until ready for shipment. While new it is a good practice to turn the cheeses twice a day. Treatment of Staggers. Staggers is a species of brain fever, and there is no known cure for it. If the brain is badly affected, the animal will die, but in mild cases the horse will recover if properly cared for. If moldy corn is being fed, stop its use, DOUGLAS MOORE, Pres. CHAS.

Be careful in handling horses with staggers, for they are often in a fierce frenzy and likely to do one injury. Iodide of potash is sometimes used with good effect, dissolving one dram in water and given daily for three days. Seeding with Clover. When clover is sown early in the spring on the crop of wheat or other winter grain it may cost nothing but the price of the seed, which is not much, whether ten or fifteen pounds is used to the acre, and the labor of sowing. Yet we would prefer to increase its cost by going over the wheat with a light or smoothing harrow before sowing the clover seed. This will benefit wheat or rye if done at the right time, when the ground is not wet enough to cause the harrow to sink too deep and uproot the plants. This makes a good seed bed for the clover, and in a day or two after the first rain the little plants will be sending their roots down into the soil. Yet they will not make growth enough to injure the grain before it ripens, and when that is taken off the clover will be better looking and more valuable than the weeds that would be likely to take possession if the clover was not there. It will grow then through the fall and into winter, and in the spring it may be plowed under to enrich the soil, or if the catch is a good one, and it makes a good crop, it may be cut twice for hay and then add more fertility to the soil if plowed under in the fall or next spring than if the first growth was plowed under. Clover likes a mineral fertilizer, even if it is as cheap a one as sulphate of lime or land plaster, and also likes the phosphates and potash, but many supply these sufficiently in the fertilizer used for the grain crop. American Cultivator. For Puse Cistern Water. Mr. J. F. Grimes writes the Iowa Homestead: "I notice some inquiry in your columns about cisterns, and I thought I would like to give a description of mine for the benefit of your readers who may wish to build one. The cistern itself is constructed very much the same as all cisterns except that one side of the bottom is depressed and made so it is easily cleaned out with a flat-bottom shovel. For an outlet I put in four-inch glazed tiles cemented at the joints, letting them extend to the lowest WORM AP CONDUCTOR Settling Basin 4 IN. TILE part of the bottom of the cistern, the first one resting on two bricks, and when there is any overflow it will carry out with it any sediment that should happen to be in the cistern. Wire strainers and a settling basin will keep out a great deal of the sediment. That the clearest water may be always pumped out of the cistern, I tied a jug to the end of a piece of rubber hose, the jug being corked tight answers as a float and keeps the end of the hose always under water just a little way." Winter Orchard Work In nearly all fruit sections hundreds of trees are destroyed each year by borers, and while the work of destroying them can best be done in the fall, it will pay to use all diligence during the winter to trap those that were missed in the fall hunt. Take a pail of soft tar, a scraper—an old caseknife, fairly sharp, will answer—and a few wires of different lengths and sizes. Get down to the surface of the ground and examine the trunk of the tree, carefully scraping away loose bark and prodding suspicious spots with the wire. If holes are found, run the wire in as far as possible, then swab the place with the tar. In going over the orchard in this manner one will often find ravages of field vermin, especially among the young trees, and when such is the case the tree can be protected and saved. One of the most successful fruit growers in the country considers it necessary that his men make weekly trips through the orchards to ascertain, as he puts it, "if the trees need anything." OPEN ALL DAY AND NIGHT Pig Pen Pointers. Many times pigs die from overfeeding the sow the first week after farrowing. Start business with a good boar. Good blood is requisite, and so is good care. Sometimes when two sows farrow at the same time, one with a large litter and the other with a small one, the pigs can be devided equally between the mothers, though this should not be attempted after the pigs are three days old. The first thing in profitable pig raising is to grow the frame, then put flesh on it. You cannot successfully do both at the same time. Pure bred swine are all right, but don't treat them as you would scrub stock. High bred animals are very susceptible to surroundings and care. The farmer who is not willing to give time and attention to valuable stock would better stick to the scrubs. But any animal requires rational treatment for profitable results. A writer has well said that it is simply impossible to put feed enough into a pig in cold weather to make him comfortable without keeping him in a warm pen with plenty of bedding. Farmer.

BE WARNED IN order to protect the public from the numerous quack nostrums now on the market, which claim to straighten and cause the hair to grow long, and which are simply put up by a lot of quacks, charlatans, and fakirs, who have no chemical skill, with the sole idea to get your hard-earned cash and give you nothing in return for your money but a dirty, sticky mass of worthless greases, which injure the hair and cause it to fall out, we have placed our trade-mark, granted to us by the Government of the United States of America, on every box of OZONO, King of all Hair-Growers and Hair-Straighteners.
