WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE J. N. SLA J N SLAUGHTER One of the long felt wants of visiting colored gentlemen to Milwaukee will be supplied after this week through the enterprise of Mr. John L. Slaughter, one of the most prominent colored citizens of Milwaukee, whose portrait heads this paragraph. Mr. Slaughter recently acquired valuable property in lower Wells street and there, at No. 217, he has erected a building which for its purposes cannot be surpassed anywhere in the whole United States. The property purchased by him has a frontage on Wells street, where the main building is, and also on Third street, the very heart of the business part of the city. On the first floor one finds an elegantly fitted up saloon, second to none in the city, while in the "L" there is a large room fitted up for billiards, pool and other games. On the second floor the visitor will find nine handsomely furnished rooms for the accommodation of gentlemen only. Here also in the "L," the guest can have the privilege of a second story billiard room. The third story Mr. Slaughter has reserved for his own family use. It is almost needless to say that all the most recent improvements in heating and lighting have been fully taken advantage of. Everything in the establishment is of the very highest class of workmanship and reflects credit alike both on the enterprising proprietor and the several contractors. In the very near future it is Mr. Slaughter's intention to run the "L" to the western limits of his property, 192 Third street, where there will be a first-class restaurant, which will likewise fill a long felt want among the colored citizens. Mr. Slaughter's success is not grudged to him by his people, as he has always proved himself to St. Mark's A. M. E. Church. One of the most successful and interesting quarterly meetings in the history of St. Mark's Church took place last Sunday. Presiding Elder H. H. Thompson of Chicago officiated at all the diets of worship. In the afternoon holy communion was administered and the Rev. Gentleman delivered and eloquent sermon from St. Paul, "I must by all means keep this feast." The speaker deduced from this text the necessity of all members periodically partaking of the sacrament after due self-examination. At the evening service Elder Thompson spoke from the forty-sixth Psalm, and during his remarks gave much sage advice and counsel to his hearers. He said that the Negro race was essentially a religious one, but cautioned his audience against trusting to emotional religion entirely. The great fault of the churches was a lack of coherence and unity of purpose among the members. These should strive to work together as one harmonious whole and let no petty jealousies interfere with the great work to be accomplished. The members of long standing should gladly welcome new members as by the infusion of new blood, new life would spring up in the church and its various organizations. In his opinion Milwaukee ought to have a church second to none if the Christians among the race would only do their duty. The speaker scored unmercifully members of the race who forsook their own churches and became attached to a white church, where they were really not wanted. No true lover of his race would be found doing so and this sentiment seemed to meet the approval of the audience as it was greeted with a chorus of hearty "amens." --- VOLUME IV. be a gentleman, whose hand was always ready to reach deep down into his pocket to help out any of his brothers who were in need of help. For ourselves we can say that Mr. Slaughter was ever willing to renew his subscription without any grumble. Can Mr. Slaughter's success be attributed to the fact that he is one of the strongest Democrats in the state? In spite of the sneers of a portion of the press, Mr. Slaughter will meet with the success which his enterprise deserves. Mr. Slaughter has got the name of allowing no loafing or boisterous conduct in his establishment, a fact which can not be said for most of the saloons and even hotels in the country. In all our travels we have never seen anything superior to his management in this respect. Altogether in the establishment there are twenty-one rooms all elegantly fitted up for their several purposes. A telephone is to be found on each floor. The whole building is brilliantly lit up with more than 100 electric lights. The elegant oak chairs cost upwards of $11 apiece, while the carpets cost over $3 per yard. The kitchen range is a marvel of utility and beauty, being of elegant nickel. After the opening of the establishment, which takes place on Saturday and for which elaborate and tasteful invitations have been sent out, Mr. Slaughter will have in his employ twenty-two persons in all, and his salary list will be swelled to the sum of over $300 per week. An extensive stock of the best brands of wines, whiskies and liquors has been put in at the cost of $3000. The editor has been in many places of the kind in all parts of the country, and Mr. Slaughter's certainly does not require to take a back seat and is a credit to the race to which the proprietor is proud to belong. This undertaking has cost him over $50,000. The speaker went on to say that the race should read more and keep up with the current course of events. It had come to be a matter of common belief that the only leaders of the race were Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington. But great as these men undoubtedly were and are, there were others—pioneers without whose previous foundation work the efforts of these gentlemen could not have been so successful. He referred to such worthies as Bishops Paine, Allan and Emery, whose work in the middle of the last century was still bearing fruit. The Rev. Gentleman was listened to by a large and appreciative audience. Mr. Thompson, who is one of the ablest presiding elders of the A. M. E. Church, in an interview with the editor expressed his pleasure that Wisconsin had the benefit of such a clean, newsy and altogether creditable newspaper. Mr. Thompson, to his regret, had to make his visit a very hurried one as he had been appointed by Bishop Grant on the committee to arrange for the general conference of 1904, which met at Chicago early Monday forenoon.

Brown, 238 Elliott street, Detroit, Mich., is our duly accredited agent in that city. * * * Matthew Walker. Racine hotel, is acting as our agent in the Belle city. ** ** An entertainment under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society given at St. Mark's A. M. E. Church Thursday evening last was a great success and a very brilliant affair. Some of our most talented young ladies and men took part. Among these were Mrs. Sadie Gaines, who sings and plays artistically; Miss Ida Nelson, one of our leading society ladies; Mrs. Dora Bell, who delighted the audience with her violin selection; Miss Jackson, whose piano solo was highly appreciated, and Mrs. Poindexter, whose whistling solo was very charmingly performed. The gentlemen assisting were Messrs. William Lamb, Oliver Davis and Walter Revells, who all performed their part to the delight and pleasure of the audience. After the entertainment an apron shower was given and refreshments served. The audience was large and highly appreciative and the Ladies' Aid Society may be congratulated on the success of its efforts. After deducting expenses the society was able to hand over to the church fund the handsome sum of $46. Miss Lily Davis of Racine was an out-of-the-city attendant at the performance. The ladies were very handsomely attired in their Easter costumes. Among other tastefully dressed ladies we noticed Mimes. J. J. Miles, Walter Hawkins, Robert Gant, James Miller, Bert Caldwell, Charles Bell, Irvine Potter, Naomi Stevens, Edna Jackson, Liveless, Darrow, and the Misses Rachel and Clara Black, Julia Alexander, Amanda and Ella Reeves, Ida Nelson and Julia McNamee. Great credit is specially due for the success of the entertainment to Mrs. Robert Gant and Mrs. Walter Hawkins. * * * We are glad to learn that Mrs. M. Anderson. Seventh street, who has been on the sick list, is now on the fair road to complete recovery. * * * Among prominent south side factory men who are consistent and invariable supporters of ours we are always pleased to mention the Vilter Manufacturing Company, who have built up for themselves in a very few years a very extensive business, which is annually increasing. The company makes a specialty of building Corliss engines. It also supplies pumps, heaters and boilers, as also machinery for brewers and bottlers. They deserve all the success which has come to them. * * * Another south side manufacturer who has always been a staunch patron of ours is the president of the Davis Bros. Manufacturing Company, boilermakers and machinists. Mr. Davis is a Southern gentleman and understands the Negro, and knows how to discriminate between the deserving and undeserving among them. May the firm continue to prosper is the Advocate's earnest wish. * * * Still another south side patron of the Advocate is Fred Tegge, president of the Tegge Lumber Company, who has always a pleasant word for us when he renews his subscription. * * * We were pleased to add to our list the name of J. W. Rediske, president of the Interior Woodwork Company, located at the corner of Park street and Fifth avenue. The firm manufactures basswood veneer drawer bottoms and glass backs, and all kinds of rotary cut veneers in birch, maple, oak, ash and elm. We have pleasure in calling the attention of our contractor subscribers to this enterprising firm. Prof. J. F. White, Charleston, Mo., is at present visiting the city. He comes to us highly recommended by friends from the South. Mr. White will be employed by us as city canvasser and we bespeak for him a kindly and sympathetic reception. The Golden Gate quartette, composed of Messrs. Harry Winfred, Frank Sutton, James Burris and Paul Floyd, assisted by Miss Fanny Winfred, have been performing at the Star theater during the past week. Their performance is of a high order and free from all objectionable features. They have been making their home with Mrs. Woodard, 519 Wells street, where the editor had the pleasure of meeting them. They carry into their private life the refined features of their stage productions. —Titanium is the hardest metal. It looks like copper, but will scratch rock crystal. —Five tons of shamrocks were sold at Covent Garden, London, on St. Patrick's day. Mrs. Lee Woodard of 519 Wells street, Milwaukee, who has recently returned from a two months' sojourn in Hot Springs, Ark., talks entertainingly and instructively on her observations while gaining renewed health and strength at that popular resort. What will interest our readers most is her report of the condition of the colored race. She reports them as being in a very prosperous condition. The great majority of them own their own property, and many having thriving businesses. They also own a magnificent park with all the usual accompaniments, pavilion, etc. They also own down town a large auditorium with side halls for lodge meetings, etc. All the help employed is colored. The city and its surroundings Mrs. Woodard described as a perfect heaven, but to get out of this heaven the colored person requires to pass through—well, the very opposite. The reference was to the iniquitous "Jim Crow" cars. Mrs. Woodard described these very graphically. In the first place, although the colored person is compelled to pay the same fare as others, he or she meets with no courtesy or even humanity in return. In the first place they are compelled to wait to purchase their tickets until all others are served, then they have to walk off the platform to reach their car or rather box which is placed next to the engine. No stool is provided to assist in mounting the steps of the car; no assistance is given even to the women and children; the car itself is very poorly equipped with conveniences of any sort, and no possibility of even comfortably reclining is afforded; and all this must be patiently borne till the state line of Arkansas and Missouri is reached. And yet this is a part of that country whose constitution begins with the words "All men are born free and equal." Mrs. Woodard also speaks of the discrimination against the colored race in Mary Crawford MRS. LEE WOODARD the matter of the use of the baths. The proprietors of the private baths will take the colored person's money all right but they must smuggle themselves in at certain hours only, and are not allowed the full time requisite to produce the desired result. In the government baths, however, all are treated alike, but as no attendance is given, full benefit cannot be derived. We would advise any of our readers who contemplate a visit to Hot Springs, to give Mrs. Woodard a call, and she will put them up to the ropes. C. A. Sercomb. One of the shrewdest and clearest-headed men in the city, and perhaps in the state, is in our opinion the gentleman whose name heads this paragraph. The reason of this opinion of ours is the fact that his advice is eagerly sought by many men who are thought to be more in the swim than he. He is respected by all, from the governor of the state and the mayor of the city to the constables of the different districts. This state of affairs can only be attributed to the fact that his personality is such as to command the respect of all, and his counsel proved by experience to be wise and to the point. For ourselves we have to thank Mr. Sercomb for his many valuable suggestions to us in the conduct of our business. He has invariably been our friend, always willing to listen to both sides of a story, never eager to give calumniators all the advantage. Mr. Sercomb deserves the thanks of all the colored race for the stand he has always taken on their behalf. It seems to us a pity that Mr. Sercomb's services could not be secured for the public benefit. Mr. Sercomb is president of the company of that name, who are manufacturers of the noted Magnetic Puritan Soap. Halfpenny Omnibusses in London Halfpenny Omnibusses in London. The new proprietors of the half-penny omnibusses are showing a commendable anxiety to meet the public demand. Already they have increased the service over Blackfriars bridge by six additional vehicles, the total being now sixteen, and although at present they think the service sufficient they state their willingness to provide additional omnibusses if there is a demand for them. The total number of half-penny omnibusses now running is forty-two.-London Mail. THROUGHOUT THE STATE Ft. Atkinson. The law firm of Rogers & Rogers enjoys well deserved popularity and success. The representative of the firm whom we met has a good feeling to the colored race. He cordially endorsed the resolutions printed in another part of this issue. ```markdown ``` The C. B. Lewis Company is one which supplies all the necessaries for the production of honey except the bees, and these can be got on short notice. This firm has branches all over the Northwest and one in England. It is a pleasure to us to inform any of our readers interested in bee culture and honeyproduction, where those wans can be filled to perfect satisfaction. ☆ ☆ ☆ The editor paid a flying visit to this city in the early part of the week and has the pleasure of presenting to the readers of the Advocate a portrait of the respected mayor of the city, C. N. J. H. C. N. SNOVER. Mayor of Ft. Atkinson. Snover, who is also proprietor of the principal hotel. We are indebted to him for the courtesy and kindness shown to us. Mr. Snover informs us that he has been a life-long Jeffersonian Democrat. Nevertheless, or perhaps therefore, we found him a true friend of the race, a denouncer of Tillmanism and Jim Crow car laws. This gentleman, at the conclusion of the war, was written to by Fort Atkinson soldiers to see whether he would take into his service a colored boy if such were brought North with the contingent. His reply was favorable and the result was the importation of Thomas Cherry, now one of the most respected citizens of Fort Atkinson. Cherry remained in Mr. Snover's service until the latter temporarily gave up business, then went into other employment, saved money, and wished his old employer to keep it for him and use it. Such trust confirmed Mr. Snover's faith in the best elements of the race. Mr. Cherry is now in the service of A. L. Hoard, son of the ex-governor. We trust that Mr. Snover will live long to be appreciated and honored by his fellow citizens, and he may feel assured of the gratitude of the race which we feebly endeavor to represent. 血 宣 宗 Mr. T. L. Johnston, dental surgeon, is also one of those who appreciate the race, as shown by his preferring colored help in his family. We had the pleasure to add the genial doctor to our list of subscribers. 赤 枣 赤 We were pleased also to add to our Fort Atkinson list the name of H. G. Brandell, superintendent of the Northwestern Manufacturing Company. Mr. Brandell expressed himself as pleased with the paper and in sympathy with its aims. * * * The manufacturing interest so far as dairy utensils are concerned are well looked after by the manufacturing company composed of Messrs. Cornish, Curtis & Greene. Mr. Curtis, whom we had the pleasure of meeting, takes such an interest in the race that he journeyed to Milwaukee for the sole purpose of listening to Principal Washington in his latest visit. ☆ ☆ ☆ We had almost forgotten the postmaster, with whom we had a pleasant talk. This gentleman was very decidedly down upon the members of the race who pose as bishops, etc., and travel around the state collecting funds for various purposes; amongst others he instanced and scored unmercifully the idea of establishing a school in the state for colored children, taking the ground that such a proceeding was a drawing of the color line in the very worst way for the benefit of the race. Such men, in his opinion, ought to be mulcted in a $100 license or else compelled to work for a living instead of imposing on charitable people to the detriment of others who are doing legitimate business. Watertown: Watertown is one of the most interesting of the smaller cities of the state and among its inhabitants are many business men who are warm friends of the colored race. Among these one of the most prominent is the William Har- tig Malting Company. Their representative is A. Tanck, Jr. During our conversation with this gentleman he was quite at one with us in our idea that the colored people must educate each other and congratulated us upon the stand we are taking in this respect. 章 承 袁 This city is one of the centers of one of Wisconsin's greatest agricultural industries, that of cheese making, and this industry is ably represented by Jacob Jossi, who has built up a magnificent business by producing a first-class article; his product commands a ready sale in the market. We are glad to class him as one of the friends of the colored race. ☆ ☆ ☆ We were glad to see our old and tried friends, the D. & F. Kusel Company, who are dealers in all kinds of shelf and heavy hardware, cook and parlor stoves, etc. The gentlemen at the head of this firm are deservedly popular and have the confidence of the city and surrounding district. They have always been one of our old standbys, and are ever willing to renew their subscription. The J. Weber & Son Company, dealers in lumber, lath, shingles, building paper, sash, doors, blinds, mouldings, etc., is another firm which does credit to the city. The senior member of the firm has been identified with the colored race for the last forty years. In conversation with him we elicited his opinion that the race was all right if treated properly. His opinion coincided with ours politically that the Negro should not identify himself with any particular party, but read and study for themselves. * * * Another agricultural industry of Watertown is the Jahnke Creamery Company, of which the president is I. F. Jahnke. That their business methods meet with the approbation of their patrons is evidenced by the large patronage which they have secured. ```markdown ``` Watertown is specially blessed by having in its midst such a seminary as that of the University of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. This establishment was founded in 1872 and was granted a charter by the Legislature with university privileges in 1874. It is under the control of the members of the congregation of the Holy Cross, who devote their lives chiefly to the education—the Christian education of youth. It is ably presided over by the Rev. John O'Rourke, C. S. C., who is a gentleman who knows no distinction of race whatever, but is always willing to give a word of counsel and good cheer to all visitors. Our interview with the reverend gentleman will long remain in our memory. * * * Two other staunch friends of the race we met in this city is Dr. W. F. Whyte and his amiable wife. Just how appreciative they are is evidenced by the fact that both journeyed to this city to hear Mr. Booker T. Washington on his recent visit. Both Dr. Whyte and his wife cordially endorse the work which we are carrying on. Mrs. Whyte remarked that when she was down South she admired and even coveted the pick-annunies. Our visit to this charming household is one of the bright spots of our daily work. By the way, in conversation the doctor remarked that Secretary of State Froehlich would be an ideal candidate for governor. 血 赤 血 The Eagle Roller Mills, owned by R. P. Koenig & Co., do quite an extensive business. We were pleased to add the firm to our list of subscribers. The First Actress. A London paper says the first woman to act on the stage in a play made her appearance in 1660. Previous to that time all female parts were taken by boys or men, in very much the same way as in these days the principal boys in the pantomimes are played by girls. There is a legend that before the year mentioned Anne, the wife of James I., assumed the female part in a play produced at the Court Theater before her royal husband. But the fact is not authenticated. The character enacted by the first actress in England was Desdemona, but the name of this intrepid adventurer has not been preserved, and it is believed that she was a foreigner, for most records state that the first English actress was a Mrs. Colman, who appeared in Davenant's "Siege of Rhodes" as Ianthe, in 1656. Charles II. is said to have first encouraged the public appearance of women upon the stage, and this is certainly very probable. Mixed Drinks in Indiana. When William H. Crane, the actor, was recently in Indianapolis he went into a cafe that looked particularly gorgeous from the outside and particularly dingy on the inside. It was presided over by a fat bartender, who was in his shirt sleeves, and who put both hands on the bar and inquired of Mr. Crane and his friend: "Well, gents, what'll ye have?" "Give me two Martini cocktails," said Mr. Crane. The bartender looked a bit nonplused, then fumbled aimlessly among some bottles back of the bar, and said: "Sorry, gents, but I'm just out of Martine." tine." Mr. Crane glanced at his companion an instant, and then responded gravely: "Very well, then give us two Manhattan cocktails, if you've got any Manhat."—New York Times.

Proposed Secret Society to Promote Peace of the World. Scheme Unfolded to W. T. Stead Warned the British of Wast- London, April 9.—Cecil Rhodes' "political will and testament," his confessions of his life aims, his desire for an Anglo-American union to control the world, his plan to combine the wealth of the world in one secret society to foster the Anglo-American alliance, with absolute home rule, his free trade views, and his secret thoughts of the future of Rhodesia, will be given to the world by his political executor, W. T. Stead, in the forthcoming issue of the Review of Reviews. The article was written by Cecil Rhodes in 1890, hurried thrown together as a summary of a conversation between himself and Mr. Stead, and it was left in the hands of Mr. Stead to use when he believed the time fitting. Mr. Stead was asked to revise the manuscript, which merely sketched, with great power and sweeping strokes, the views of the empire builder. He wisely refrained, presenting the views in Rhodes' own words, adding only his own explanations at various points. Money to Buy the World. Rhodes wrote that the key to his idea was the foundation of a society, copied after the Jesuits, composed of rich men, who should leave their money in trust of the society instead of to undeserving relatives, the money to be used in controlling the world. He declared the nations, with the United States leading, were combined to boycott the manufactures of England; that the British government was blind to the fact that it was losing its power; and that the British should at once declare commercial war on America and boycott American goods until that country should "come to its senses." He declared a combine of the United States and Great Britain would secure the peace of the world for all eternity, and he suggested a federal Parliament to meet five years in Washington and five years in London. Rhodes saw clearly the coming expansion of America. He declared President Harrison dimly saw the inevitable overflow of the United States into other lands, and he rather impatiently criticised him for not grasping the idea more broadly. He scored the British leaders bitterly for failure to realize the fact that their commercial leadership was slimming away from them. Outline of Rhodes' Views. In three columns of complex sentences the whole philosophy of Mr. Rhodes' international and individual life is embraced. Mr. Rhodes commenced by proposing the foundation of a "society copied, as to organization, from the Jesuits." Combined with "differential rate and a copy of the United States constitution," wrote Mr. Rhodes, "is home rule or federation." An organization formed on these lines in the House of Commons constantly working for decentralization and not wasting time on trivial questions, would, Mr. Rhodes believed, soon settle the question of markets for the products of the empire. Thoughts Ever on America. America was, apparently, ever present in Mr. Rhodes' mind. "The world with America in the forefront," he wrote, "is devising tariffs to boycott your manufactures. "This is the supreme question. I believe that England, with fair play, should manufacture for the world, and, being a free trader, I believe that, until the world comes to its senses, you should declare war—I mean commercial war—with those trying to boycott your manufactures. That is my programme. You might finish the war by a union with America and universal peace after a hundred years." But towards this millenium Mr. Rhodes believed the most powerful factor would be "a secret society organized like Loyola, supported by the accumulated wealth of those whose aspiration is a desire to do something." Wanted to Live to See Union. Reverting to himself, Mr. Rhodes said: "I have that inner conviction that if I can live I have thought out something that is worthy of being registered in the patent office. The fear is, shall I have time and opportunity, and I believe with all the enthusiasm bred in the soul of an inventor that it is not self-glorification that I desire, but the wish to live and register my patent for the benefit of those who, I think, are the greatest people the world has ever seen, but whose fault is that they do not know their strength, their greatness, or their destiny, but who are wasting their time in minor or local matters; but, being asleep, do not know that through the invention of steam and electricity and in view of their own enormous increase they must now be trained to view the world as a whole, and not only to consider the social questions or the British isles. "Even a Labouchere, who possesses no sentiment, should be taught that the labor of England is dependent on the outside world, and that, as far as I can see, the outside world if he does not look out will boycott the result of English labor. Union Means Lasting Peace. "They are calling the new country Rhodesia. I find I am human, and should like to be living after my death. Still, perhaps, if that name is coupled with the object of England everywhere it may convey the discovery of an idea which ultimately led to the cessation of all wars and one language throughout the world, the patent being the gradual absorption of wealth and human minds of the higher order to the object. "What an awful thought is that it, even now, we could arrange with the present members of the United States Assembly and our House of Commons, the peace of the world would be secured for all eternity. We could hold a federal Parliament, five years in Washington and five in London. "The only thing feasible to carry out this idea is a secret society, gradually absorbing the wealth of the world, to be devoted to such an object. "Fancy the charm to young America, just coming on and dissatisfied, for they have filled up their own country and do not know what to tackle next, to share in a scheme to take the government of the whole world. Their present President (Mr. Harrison) is dimly seeing it, but his horizon is limited to the new world—North and South—and so he would intrigue in Canada, Argentina and Brazil to the exclusion of England. "Such a brain wants but little to see the true solution. He is still groping in the dark, but very near the discovery, for the American has been taught the lesson of home rule and of the success of leaving the management of the local pump to the parish beadle. He does not burden his House of Commons with the responsibility of cleansing the parish drains. The present position of the English House is ridiculous. You might as well expect Napoleon to have found time to have personally counted his dirty linen before he sent it to the wash and to have recounted it upon its return. "It would have been better for Europe if Napoleon had carried out his idea of a universal monarchy. He might have succeeded if he had hit upon the idea of granting self-government to the component parts." Dealing with the "sacred duty of the English-speaking world of taking the responsibility for the still uncivilized world," and commenting upon the necessary departure from the map of such countries as Portugal, Persia and Spain, "who are found wanting," Mr. Rhodes said: "What scope! What a horizon of work for the next two centuries for the best energies of the best people in the world! Views on the Tariff. "I note," he added, "with satisfaction that the committee appointed to inquire into the McKinley tariff reports that in certain articles our trades have fallen off 50 per cent. Yet the fools do not see that if they do not look out they will have England shut out and isolated, with ninety millions to feed and capable of internally supporting about six millions. "If they had a statesman they would at the present moment be commercially at war with the United States, and would have boycotted the raw products of the United States until she came to her senses. Your people have not known their greatness. They possess one-fifth of the world, and do not know it is slipping away from them. "Your supreme question at present is the seizure of the labor vote for the next election. The eight-hour question is not possible without a union of the English-speaking world; otherwise you drive your manufactures to Belgium, Holland and Germany, just as you have placed a great deal of cheap shipping trade in the hands of Italy by your stringent shipping regulations." SAYS HE WAS TOLD TO SPARE ONLY BABES. MaJ. Waller Recites Alleged Orders of Gen. Smith to Kill All Natives Manila, April 9.—At the court martial of Maj. Waller the defendant took the stand to rebut the evidence given by Gen. Smith, the military commander of Samar, who testified that he had no knowledge of the killing of natives by Maj. Waller's command until he was informed of the facts by Gen. Chaffee. Maj. Waller fiercely contradicted Gen. Smith's testimony. He declared that Gen. Smith had said to him: "I wish you to kill and burn. The more you kill the more you will please me. The interior of Samar must be made a howling wilderness. Kill every native over 10 years old." Capt. D. D. Porter of the marine corps testified that he had overheard Gen. Smith's order to kill and burn just after the Balangiga massacre. Lieut. Frank Halford of the marine corps also testified that Gen. Smith had ordered Maj. Waller to kill all natives over 10 years of age. Maj. Waller, he added, did not agree with the order, and he ordered Capt. Porter not to kill old men, women and children. The defense requested that a subpoena be served on the adjutant-general, demanding the production of the records of the massacre at Balangiga of the detachment of the Ninth infantry, in order to refute the statement of Gen. Smith to the effect that the attack on the troops was made according to the laws of war. The request was granted. Fifty ladrones, armed with rifles and bolos, recently attacked five members of the constabulary of Sarsegon, Southeast Luzon, captured three of them and treated the captives with hideous barbarity, eventually cutting them into small pieces. A large force of constabulary went in pursuit of the ladrones. Port Surgeon Hagency, from Bulacan, capital of the province of Bulacan, has reported eighty-one cases of cholera there, and has asked for assistance. At Manila, up to today, 184 cases of cholera had occurred and there had been 140 deaths from that disease. LOSE PLACES IN JAIL. Men Connected with Escape of Biddles are Discharged. Pittsburg, Pa., April 9.—As a result of the famous escape of the Biddle brothers, the murderers, last January, five employees of the county jail were discharged yesterday. They were Conrad H. Dietrich, the father of Mrs. Soffel, the warden's wife, who fled with the men; James McGeary, Charles Reynolds, George Kosslow and Frank Chase. Chase knew of the conduct of John and Edward Biddle and Mrs. Soffel, but did not report it. Guard McGeary was dismissed because he violated the rules by taking the keys into the cell department. Reynolds was dismissed because his story was so utterly contradictory to all the other facts. Kosslow was dismissed for general incompetency. CONFESSES TO SAVE FATHER. Son of Former Councilman Declares His Guilt of Embezzlement. Omaha, Neb., April 9.—Charles I. Kaufmann, son of former Councilman Charles Kaufmann, created a sensation in the county court by unexpectedly appearing and pleading guilty to the embezzlement of nearly $3000, on which charge his father was on trial. Young Kaufmann's father had just pleaded not guilty to the charge when his son appeared. There being no charge against the young man Judge Vinson-haler said he was not properly before the court. His father's bond was fixed and both were permitted to depart. FEUD ENDS IN DEATH. Killing of Barney Riggs of Texas Recalls Family Quarrel. Ei Paso, Tex., April 9.—The history of one of the worst feuds in Western Texas was recalled last night when news was received here of the killing at Fort Stockton of Barney Riggs, a prominent cattleman, frontiersman, feudist and fighter. Riggs was shot five times and instantly killed by "Buck" Chadborn, also a cattleman, son of ex-Sheriff Chadborn of "Jeff" Davis county and son-in-law of Riggs. The killing is said to have been the outcome of a family quarrel. IGNORE CRUELTY CHARGES. British War Office Considers Them Absolutely False. London, April 9.—The charges made against the conduct of British troops in South Africa, attributed to Gen. Delarey, have not been brought to the notice of the war office and will be ignored unless a question on the subject is asked in the House of Commons. The war office officials ridicule the idea that the charges contain an iota of truth and are inclined to assign their origin to purely continental sources. OFFERS A REWARD. Allis-Chalmers Company to Stop Attacks on Employees. Chicago, Ill., April 9.—Roused by the numerous assaults that have been made on its employees, the Allis-Chalmers Company has offered a reward of $500 for evidence that will cause the arrest and conviction of any one guilty of injuring its men. The move is the culmination of a series of attacks alleged to have been made by union pickets within the last month. GENERAL ACQUITTED. London, April 8.—A dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated from Preto.ia, sets at rest the contention of the parliamentary opposition that Commandant Kritzinger, a Boer general who was charged with several murders and train wrecking, is being cruelly treated. Lord Kitchener reports that Commandant Kritzinger's trial took place some time since and that there was not enough evidence to convict him, consequently he was acquitted by the court martial and is now being treated upon the same terms as all prisoners of war. Lord Kitchener states that the court martial found Commandant Kritzinger had been especially active in leading the burghers and that on several occasions he had had cognizance of train-wrecking and other forms of warfare which were not allowable by the terms of the Geneva convention, but that no evidence had been brought to show that he instigated these movements and consequently the charges were dropped. Commandant Kritzinger was captured by Gen. French at Hanover road, Cape Colony, December 17 last after a stubborn resistance. The House of Commons reassembled today after the Easter recess. An early opportunity was taken to press the government for information on the subject of the peace negotiations in South Africa, but the government leader, A. J. Balfour, declared the ministers had nothing in that connection to impart to the House. Alleges War Crime. Liverpool, April 8.—A former trooper of the Bushveldt Carbineers, who has returned here, is quoted as saying that the convicted Australian officers belonging to that corps, since disbanded, murdered from thirty-five to forty persons. As an instance of their cold-bloodedness, the trooper relates how three Dutch children, 2 and 12 years of age, respectively, and their little sister, arrived at the Carbineers' camp to surrender, in order to be given food. The girl and one of the boys were wounded. The uninjured boy took his little brother on his back and was carrying him off when a second shot killed both boys. The girl died shortly afterward. PASSES CHINESE BILL. House Accepts Amendments Increasing the Severity of the Measure. Washington, D. C., April 8.—The Chinese exclusion bill, bearing several amendments increasing its drastic nature, was passed by the House. As the measure now stands it excludes not only Chinese by birth and descent, but shuts out all Chinese of mixed blood. The chief struggle was over an amendment to prohibit the employment of Chinese sailors on American ships. An amendment covering this proposition was at first ruled out on a point of order, but subsequently was modified to evade the ruling and was adopted, 100 to 74. The original amendment on this point made it punishable by a fine not exceeding $2000 for the master of a vessel holding an American register to employ any Chinese person not entitled to admission to the United States. This was amended by making it unlawful for an American ship, for a voyage terminating at an American port to employ Chinese sailors. Mr. Hitt vigorously opposed the amendment. He declared that such a provision would drive the American ships on the Pacific under the British flag. Two amendments were adopted without division, one by Mr. Clark (Mo.), to amend the definition of "teacher" under the privileged classes so as to require that for two years before admission the teacher should have been engaged in "teaching the higher branches," and another by Mr. Coombs (Cal.), to provide that Chinese students shall leave the country immediately upon the completion of their course of study. As passed the bill practically re-enacts all the existing exclusion laws and incorporates with them the existing treaty regulations. It extends these exclusion laws to the Philippines and the other possessions of the United States, and forbids Chinese laborers in our colonial possessions coming into this country. ENTERS BEET SUGAR FIELD. American Refining Company Buying Up Factories. Denver, Col., April 8.—A News dispatch from Fort Collins, the center of the Northern Colorado beet sugar field, says that there is no longer any doubt that the American Sugar Refining Company has entered the beet sugar industry. The dispatch asserts that they now control the Penoyer interests and in fact all the Michigan beet sugar factories that are paying properties. The factory at Lehi, Utah, the dispatch continues, has passed into the American Sugar Refining Company's hands. To complete matters at a meeting of the stockholders of the proposed sugar factory at Fort Collins to be built by the Penoyer people, a proposition for its absorption by the American Sugar Refining Company the dispatch says was unanimously accepted. CONSPIRACY AGAINST TREPOFF Third Attempt to Assassinate Prefect of Police of Moscow. Berlin, April 8.—The Tagblatt this evening publishes a dispatch from St. Petersburg, dated Sunday, April 6, which reports a third attempt to assassinate Gen. Trepoff, the prefect of police of Moscow. While the general was out driving, a man, supposed to be a student, sprang on the step of his carriage and tried to stab the prefect, but only succeeded in wounding a policeman who was seated beside him. The would-be assassin was arrested. It is believed there is a widespread conspiracy against the prefect of police. Capture Cattle Thieves Bisbee, Ariz., April 8.—Sheriff Parks and deputies captured seven cattle thieves on Eagle creek near Morenci after a hard fight. One of the thieves was killed outright after some exciting shooting. A Bird Shepherd. The yakamik, or trumpeter, of Venezuela, a fowl of the crane species, is a bird of extraordinary intelligence. The natives use it instead of sheep dogs for guarding and herding their flocks. It is said that, however far the yakamik may wander with the flocks, it never fails to find its way home at night, driving before it all the creatures entrusted to its care. Die. Dead. Buried. A little 7-year-old Washingtonian who is already wrestling with the intricacies of the English grammar, during a recent recitation was asked by his teacher: "Hawley, can you give the principal parts of the verb 'to die'?" "Oh, yes," said Hawley, his face lighted with sober intelligence; "present, die: past, dead; perfect participle, buried!"—Current Literature. —Cuxhaven, instead of Hamburg, is to be the future home port of the Hamburg-American liners. The change is being made on account of the increasing shallowness of the River Elbe. Chicago News. Frank Krem hung himself in the attic of his home. He was 48 years old. While oiling a shotgun preparatory to going hunting Joseph Muel was fatally wounded. Caroline Yackman, 46 years old, died at St. Elizabeth's Hospital. She was found overcome by gas. Haste on the part of a man to catch an electric car may cost the life of Harry Johns, 12 years old. He was taken to the Englewood Union Hospital with a fractured skull. The man knocked the lad down while running for the car. —Confession of insolvency was made in the United States district court by Frederick Driscoll, a well-known newspaper man, formerly holding some stock in the Pioneer Press of St. Paul, Minn. His debts are placed at $96,100. The National German-American Bank of St. Paul holds a claim for $34,360, and other banks of the same city are smaller creditors. LATEST MARKET REPORTS.

Proceedings in the House. The Senate bill to promote the efficiency of the revenue cutter service passed the House on the 3d by a vote of 135 to 49. The opponents of the measure fought it to the last ditch. At the very end they attempted a filibuster, but were swept aside by the overwhelming majority in favor of the measure. The discussion occupied the entire session. The bill gives the commanding officers of the revenue service relative ranks as follows: Captains with majors in the army and lieutenant commanders in the navy; first lieutenants with captains in the army and lieutenants in the navy; second lieutenants with first lieutenants in the army and lieutenants (junior grade) in the navy, and third lieutenants with second lieutenants in the army and ensigns in the navy. It gives the officers of the service longevity pay equivalent to the corresponding rank in the army and provides for their retirement with three-fourths pay for disability or upon reaching the age limit of 64 years. The Chinese exclusion bill occupied most of the session of the House on the 4th. No opponents of the general principle of exclusion appeared, but members were divided in their support of the two bills presented. Messrs. Hitt (Ill.). Perkins (N. Y.) and Adams (Pn.) supported the majority bill and Messrs. Clark (Mo.), Kahn (Cal.) and Naphen (Mass.) spoke for the minority substitute. Congressman Sulzer (N. Y.) introduced a resolution asking the secretary of state for such information as he could give, not incompatible with public interests, regarding the charges about an alleged British war camp near New Orleans. Debate upon the Chinese exclusion bill occupied the entire day in the House on the 5th. Mr. Tayler (Ohio) from the committee on elections presented the report on the Horton-Butler contested election case from the Twelfth Missouri district, which declared the seat vacant. The minority members were given three weeks within which to file their views. The Chinese exclusion bill was passed in the House on the 7th after several amendments were adopted, the conference report on the war revenue tax reduction bill was accepted and the Senate bill extending the charters of national banks twenty years was passed. The House on the 8th passed a bill to protect fish and game in Alaska and devoted the rest of the day to debate on Cuban reciprocity. There were no sensational clashes after the debate was actually begun and none of the bitterness which was expected to crop out on the floor came to the surface. The vote on the motion to go into committee of the whole to consider the bill, however, developed the lines of cleavage and showed that the Democrats are quite as much divided on the question as is the majority. In the division, which is regarded as practically a test vote on the bill, 114 Republicans and 63 Democrats voted for the motion and 41 Democrats and 39 Republicans against it. The feature of the second day's debate in the House on the Cuban reciprocity bill on the 9th, was an impassioned speech in opposition to the measure by William A. Smith (Mich., Rep.). The other speakers were: Mr. Ball (Dem., Tex.) and Mr. Sparkman (Dem., Fla.), both of whom opposed the bill, and Mr. Mondell (Wyo.), who advocated its passage. The Democratic and Republican opponents of the measure are trying to get together on the proposition to take the differential off refined sugar. The indications are that the debate will be protracted. The demand for time to speak is great and there is now no prospect that the general debate will be completed for a week. Proceedings in the Senate. The Senate on the 3d devoted the entire day to discussion of the oleomargarine bilh, which was passed by a vote of 39 to 31. The Chinese exclusion bill was made the unfinished business. Adjournment followed a five-minute executive session. Consideration of the Chinese exclusion bill was begun in the Senate on the 4th, Mr. Mitchell of Oregon making the opening speech. He pointed out what he deemed to be the necessity for the exclusion of Chinese laborers and elaborately analyzed the bill. During the consideration of the Chinese bill Minister Wu was in the diplomatic gallery and took a lively interest in the proceedings. Mr. Quay gave notice of the following amendment as an additional section: "That nothing herein contained shall be construed to exclude the Chinese Christians or Chinese who assisted in the defense or relief of the foreign legations of the Pe-Tang Cathedral in the City of Pekin, in the year 1900." A concurrent resolution was adopted providing for the appointment of a joint committee to attend the ceremonies incident to the transfer of the remains of Gen. Rosecrans from California to their final resting place in Arlington cemetery May 1. The Indian appropriation bill was under consideration for a time, but was not completed. Adjournment followed the usual executive session. After passing the Indian appropriation bill, the Senate on the 5th resumed consideration of the Chinese exclusion bill, this occupying the rest of the session. Mr. Daniel was in his seat for the first time since Congress convened in December. During the entire winter he has been in attendance upon the Virginia constitutional convention. A bill to supply additional urgent deficiency appropriations, carrying $200,567, was reported from the committee on appropriations and passed. The usual executive session preceded adjournment. Discussion of the conference report on the war revenue tax reduction bill occupied most of the day in the Senate on the 7th. The report, which removes the tax on bucket-shops, the chief bone of contention, was adopted by a vote of 36 to 20. A bill was passed appropriating $55,000 for a public building at Sterling, Ill. Consideration of the Chinese exclusion bill was then resumed. Mr. Simmons said he expected to vote for the bill, but was reluctant to do so, especially because the cotton manufacturers of his state and of the South generally were appealing against its enactment. They fear, he said, that it will lead to retaliatory action on the part of China and that their market in the Orient might be checked if not destroyed. The bill was read at length and then the Senate, at 5:30, adjourned. Most of the day in the Senate on the 8th was devoted to debate on the Chinese exclusion bill. When the session opened Mr. Simon, rising to a question of personal privilege, explained that had he been present when the vote on the ship subsidy bill was taken he would have voted against the measure. Mr. Hoar secured the passage of his resolution providing that rule XIX, be amended by inserting at the beginning of clause 2 thereof the following: "No senator in debate shall directly or indirectly by any form of words impute to another senator, or to other senators, any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a senator; no senator in debate shall refer offensively to any state of the Union." Thirty-nine private session bills were passed and adjournment was voted at 5:10 p. m. Throughout the session of the Senate on the 9th the Chinese exclusion bill was under consideration. Mr. Gallinger (N. H.) and Mr. Dillingham (Vt.) opposed the bill and Mr. Turner (Wash.) supported it. Mr. Gallinger urged that the pending bill was unnecessary, unjust and un-American and was clearly in contravention of our treaty obligations with China. In an extended address Mr. Turner appealed to the Senate to pass the proposed bill, not merely for the protection of the people of the Pacific states, but to prevent the entire body politic from being contaminated by the Chinese. Mr. Dillingham advocated the re-enactment of the present Geary law. The Senate insisted on its amendments to the Indian appropriation bill and Messrs. Stewart, Platt (Conn.) and Rawlins were named as the Senate conferees. A. Japanese Juggler. An old showman talking about Paul Cinquevalli, the juggler, in the Rochester Post Express: "Once he saw a Japanese juggler throw up a weighted worsted ball and catch it dead on his forehead. He suggested using an ordinary tennis ball instead, and he offered one. The Jap laughed and took it airily. Every time the tennis ball came down it struck the man's forehead at a different angle, and rebounded a ridiculous distance. After an hour's practice, that juggler from the land of chrysanthemums and flower magic said the thing was an impossibility. Now it may be said in all seriousness that there is no impossibility in the juggling line that Cinquevalli recognizes as such, so he took that tennis ball home with him and practiced daily for nine months. Then he had it pat. He tosses the ball thirty feet in the air, it descends on his forehead, rebounds, and is caught again and again, until it is coaxed down inert." "I suffered terribly and was extremely weak for 12 years. The doctors said my blood was all turning to water. At last I tried Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and was soon feeling all right again." No matter how long you have been ill, nor how poorly you may be today, Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the best medicine you can take for purifying and enriching the blood. Don't doubt it, put your whole trust in it, throw away everything else. Ask your doctor what he thinks of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. He knows all about this grand old family medicine. Follow his advice and we will be satisfied. J. C. AYER Co., Lowell, Mass. $3.00 W.L. DOUGLAS SHOES $3.50 UNION MADE.

His smile is friend to flowers' faces; His naked body deftly dips In winged quest of quiet places, To steal their sweetened lips. His beauty is a happy boon For fancy's golden threads and themes; To heavy-lidded nooks of noon A constant cause of dreams. Love is his purpose and his song, And ecstasy, his eager art; His glory and his hope are strong, And mirth doth make his heart. No thonghts but gladness fill his veins; His moods are multitudes of joy; No dues but singing have his fancies; His moments, no annoy. The heart, his arrows sting to bliss; His cup is pledged to life, not death; A magic mingles with his kiss, To stay the fleeting breath. All birds catch echo from his rites, From nesting at his temples' eaves; He sends them forth against desites— To every wight that grieves! —Edward Uffington Valentine in "The Ship of Silence and Other Poems." In the Shadow of the Sails. That Miss Delamore's yachting party would prove a success was a foregone conclusion. Miss Delamore was herself a success, and all her undertakings bore the imprint of her conquering personality. Those honored by her invitations were in the habit of accepting promptly, while those not so fortunate were properly envious and cast down. Accordingly, when for this particular occasion she received regrets, and those, too, from Kitty Crawford, en whom she had principally relied for the entertainment of her guests, Miss Delamore simply set her lips together with Napoleonic firmness and drove at once to Kitty's home to inquire into the matter. She found the young lady in the garden languidly occupying a hammock, and attired in a negligee gown which the male observer would have thought enchanting, but which Miss Delamore was too absorbed to notice. "As for your not going, my dear," she said, plunging into the conversation with her usual impetuosity, "that's all nonsense, you know. It's got to be arranged somehow. I've depended on having you sing, and besides, the yacht is a perfect dream now that it has been refitted. What's the matter, anyway, Kitty?" As she hurled this question at her friend she bent upon her a controlling gaze such as the hypnotist fixes on his prospective victim. But the other girl was as shrewd as she and as self-possessed. "Oh, I don't know, Lou," she answered with a carelessness that was almost too elaborate. "I'm rather used up, and, besides, the sea breeze burns one to a crisp, especially the nose. And considering the tilt of mine, you know, I can't be too careful about giving it undue prominence." "What absurdity—from Kitty Crawford!" thought Miss Delamore; but she only said: "Nonsense! Wear a veil. I'm going to have the jolliest sort of a crowd, Kitty. I want you to meet Miss Huntington of Baltimore; she's really distractingly pretty. And Jack Walford—let's see. Do you know him?" Miss Crawford, lowering her inscrutable lids, admitted having met the gentleman in question at her uncle's seaside residence. She neglected to add, however, that they had immediately and mutually fallen in love, a state of affairs culminating in an engagement after six weeks' acquaintance, and that just a month before this very morning they had quarreled irretrievably and parted forever. Nor did she mention that in breaking this brief engagement she had come as near to breaking her heart as a well-conducted Nineteenth century girl ever comes to so ill advised a proceeding. Not being given to indiscriminate confidence, Kitty referred to none of these things, but their recollection may account for her saying, in a very languid voice, just as her friend rose to go, "Don't expect me tomorrow, Lou; but if the day is lovely, and I happen to feel just like it, I may come." Whereupon Miss Delamore, interpreting the remark as an unconditional surrender, kissed her enthusiastically, and went away in triumph. But when Kitty came on board the yacht next morning there was not in her manner the faintest trace of listlessness or languor. In her blue yachting suit, with a jaunty sailor hat perched carefully on one side, she was the very embodiment of girlish animation. Her advent was hailed with an enthusiasm universal, except in the case of one young man, who exclaimed under his breath, "The devil! She here?" and walked to the other side of the yacht to recover his composure. For Jack Walford was still young enough to believe that love is eternal, and though he had no intention of making an unmanly fuss over the matter he knew very well that his heart had been irremediably broken by the cruelty of this coquette in blue, now lavishing her dangerous smiles on all comers. Jack looked out over the calm water and thought of the evening just a month before when he and she had walked together under the sighing branches of the pines and the sea breeze had ruffled the bewitching little curls around her forehead. The poor boy choked to remember the trifle "light as air" which had been the cause of their quarrel and vainly tried to console himself with the reflection that if Kitty had ever really loved him she could not have made those savage speeches which had cut him to the heart. And so the morning passed uneventfully, and the afternoon was well advanced when Miss Delamore called upon Kitty to sing. Kitty responded with the readiness which was one of her charms. She brought her guitar from the cabin, took her seat conveniently near the spot where Jack was carrying on a very fair imitation of a flirtation with Miss Huntington, and without preface or apology began one of the favorite ballads of the day. Kitty's voice was like herself, piquant and sweet and full of charming surprises. She sang snatches of operas, rollicking college songs and now and then one of those tender, plaintive little airs that compel neither smiles nor tears, but in some unaccountable way reach the heart. She turned away her head and a beautiful color burned in her cheeks as she struck a vibrating chord on the guitar. There was in her voice, too, a tremulousness which caught the attention of the listeners almost from the first word: We wandered in the shadow. We wandered in the shadow of the pines, my love and I. The young man wiped the drops of perspiration from his forehead. He was pale to the lips and the girl from Baltimore noticed it and asked him confidently if he was seasick. Jack did not answer. In fact, he did not even hear. For now into Kitty's voice there had come a poignant note of longing and entreaty, and her guitar, as if responsive to her mood, sobbed out its rippling accompaniment: He took the ring I gave him, mor cast a glance at me, As he held the jeweled trinket in his hand, And then he turned and rossed it in the waters of the sea Where the waves were splashing idly on the sand: He went his way unheeding the hot tears He went his way and not a word was sald; But my stubborn heart was breaking underneath its mask of pride. The song closed abruptly and Kitty, leaving her seat somewhat hurriedly, turned her back upon her still clamorous audience. Jack followed, and as they stood in a sheltered nook together, his shoulder close pressed to hers, he saw that her delicate lips were quivering. "Kitty," said the young man, his voice thick with love's sublime intoxication, "can you ever forgive me? She turned her brimming eyes upon him. "If I hadn't wanted forgiveness myself," she said, "I should never have written that song." Then, with that indifference for appearances characteristic of great souls in moments of exultation, Jack kissed her in the shadow of the sails, and as the relenting angel sheathed his flaming sword, the lovers, hand in hand, re-entered paradise.-Hattie Lummis in New York Daily News. THE FILM MAKER MISS ALICE LORRAINE. Because she was forced to give up her state room aboard the Kron Prinz Wilhelm to accommodate Prince Henry, Miss Alice Lorraine, a well-known soprano soloist, is bringing suit against the North German Lloyd Steamship Company. Miss Lorraine declares in her complaint that she considers herself as good as any prince and classes the company's action as outrageous. [Name not visible in the image] ARCHBISHOP OF YORK. At the coronation of the King and Queen of England next June the same hands that place the crown upon the kingly head of Edward will not officiate upon the majesty. The archbishop of York will perform the functions for Alexander while her royal spouse will be crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury. New York Women Patronize Cigarette Parlors. There has been a remarkable increase in cigarette smoking among women in New York during the last year. The habit has spread with equal pace among theatrical and society circles. The leading cigarette manufacturers fully realize the increased demand among their fair patrons and have accordingly made improvements calculated to please the feminine whim. One of the well-known uptown dealers has had built in the rear of his store a smoking and lounging room intended for the exclusive use of women. The room is a gorgeous affair, with expensive draperies and bedecked in Oriental colors. Here the women customers are allowed to smoke a cigarette and leisurely quaff a cup of imported Turkish coffee. They are supplied with a quantity of various brands, and quite frequently it is the custom of women to purchase a more pleasing brand, having an aroma distinct from that formerly used. It was at one time thought society women were abandoning the fad, and among actresses the art of puffing smoke was generally abandoned. The leading hostesses now show as much concern in the selection of a certain brand of tobacco, paper and monograms to please their guests as might be displayed in purchasing table delicacies. The hostess orders a box of ten delicately made cigarettes to be placed at the plate of each guest. Each cigarette is marked with the initials of the hostess. In several instances the initials of each guest are found on the cigarettes. This is the latest as well as the costliest idea in cigarette creations. Probably the newest idea in cigarette monograms was shown by an order placed with a large Broadway house last week. A young couple about to be married walked into the store and left an order for ten boxes. Each box to contain fifty cigarettes. On each cigarette appeared the motto: "Go thou and do likewise." FATE OF THE WHISTLING MAN. Some day, some day the Whistling Chump Will find that he is up a stump; Some victim, worried half to death, Will surely amputate his breath. No more upon the morning car Our finer senses will he jar, For when his foes have doused his glim The coroner will sit on him. —St. Louis, Post-Dispatch. BOER WAR IS TO CEASE. Reported in Amsterdam that Peace will be Declared. Decision Has Been Reached at Conference in the Transvaal-Doubted in London. London, April 9.—Telegrams received here from Amsterdam furnish evidence of the excitement caused there by the receipt of private dispatches from London reporting that peace in South Africa may be proclaimed within two days. All kinds of rumors were current on the Stock Exchange, but nothing had reached official quarters in London to justify such an optimistic view of the situation. The Associated Press understands that the peace negotiations are progressing satisfactory so far as the Transvaalers are concerned, but the latest advices indicate that there is small probability of the Free Staters surrendering in a body. The negotiations thus far have been mainly explanations of Bristish intentions. It has been made plain to the leaders that their surrender will not entail banishment and this has been a potent influence. The leading Transvallers urge their allies to arrange peace terms. The inner circles of the war office believe that if the present indications are fulfilled and the Transvaalers agree to surrender, the backbone of Boer resistance will be broken and that the Free Staters opposition will soon be overcome. Vancouver, B. C., April 9. The machinery of the Canadian militia department has been set in motion for the enlisting of a contingent of 2000 men from South Africa. This is the fourth contingent from the Dominion and will consist of four regiments of 500 men each. TWO CANDIDATES. Either Archbishop Falconio or Mgr. Zalinsky for Papal Delegate to United States. Rome, April 9.—The contest for the appointment of a successor to Cardinal Martinelli as papal delegate in the United States has apparently narrowed down to two candidates—Archbishop Falconio, the papal delegate in Canada, and Mgr. Zalinsky, formerly papal delegate in the East Indies and now private secretary to Cardinal Ledochowski. Many others are mentioned, but in the higher Vatican circles, where keen interest is evinced as to the outcome, are satisfied that either Archbishop Falconio or Mgr. Zalinsky will be appointed. The chances for the former are considered to be the best as it has been shown that he has undeniable diplomatic ability and is a man of profound learning. Mgr. Zalinsky, however, is actively supported by Cardinal Ledochowski, who wields great power as prefect of the propaganda. The decision will be delayed because the consistory, at which Cardinal Martinelli will finally gain the red hat, has been postponed from June to October. Chicago, Ill., April 9.—Most Rev. Patrick W. Riordan, archbishop of San Francisco, is in Chicago, en route to Washington, where he will remain for at least a fortnight. Archbishop Riordan's principal purpose in visiting the national capital is to arrange for the final settlement of the claims of the California Roman Catholic missions, it is said, an outgrowth of the cesssion of California to the United States in which $7,000,000 is involved. The question of providing a bishopric in the West or Southwest for Right Rev. Bishop Thomas J. Conaty, rector of the Catholic University at Washington, may also be considered. KING DESIRES PEACE. Edward Wants the War to End Before His Coronation. London, April 9.—King Edward is very anxious to have the Boer war end before the coronation. At a full cambinet meeting, Lord Salisbury presiding, the terms of peace offered by the Boers through Schalkburger were discussed. There is a strong chance of peace on the basis of limited autonomy to the Boer states. The matter was brought up, it is believed, by royal command converged to the premier just before the King left on his yachting cruise. That British pride must make some concessions to the stubborn resistance of the Boers was acknowledged. Cecil Rhodes' dream of a great South African federation under the British flag may as a result be realized, with the two Boer states as integral parts, enjoying a large measure of home rule under officials of their own race. MISS TALMADGE WEDS. Daughter of Famous Preacher Becomes Mrs. Clarence Frederick Wyckoff—Her Father Very Ill. Washington, D. C., April 9.—Miss Maud De Witt Talmage, daughter of Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, and Clarence Frederick Wyckoff of Ithaca N. Y., were married here today at the residence of the bride's parents. Rev Frank De Witt Talmage of Chicago, brother of the bride, officiated. Rev. Dr. T. De Witt Talmage, who has been seriously ill since his return from the South, about a fortnight ago, is much worse today. NEW MURDER IN RICE CASE. Indiana Claimant of Millions Says His Mother Died Mysteriously. New York, April 9.—Carl J. Carrolson of Muncie, Ind., claims he is the grandson and heir of William Marsh Rice, the Texas millionaire for whose murder Lawyer Albert T. Patrick is under sentence of death at Sing Sing, and to prove his claim has come to this city. A romantic story is told by the young man, and strangest of all is the fact that his mother, who came here during the lifetime of William Marsh Rice to establish her claim as a daughter-in-law, met her death in a mysterious manner. Young Carrolson is confident that her death was encompassed by those who were in the conspiracy to get away with old man Rice's millions. SUES UNION FOR CONSPIRACY. Philadelphia Hatmaker Asks $250,-000 Damages from Organization. Philadelphia, Pa., April 9.—Henry H. Roelofs, a hat manufacturer, has commenced suit in the United States circuit court for $250,000 damages against fifteen individuals residing in different states who are members of the United Hatters' Association. Mr. Roelofs alleges conspiracy to boycott on the part of the defendants because he refused to submit to union dictation. He says in one case a sale of $100,000 was stopped through their interference. MOTHER AND SON MEET. Joyful Reunion of the Millers in Wyoming Mining Town. WAS REPORTED DEAD. Mother Had Gone from Shawano to Bring Remains Home-Mistake in Names. Racine, Wis., April 8.—[Special.]—The telegraph this morning brought the welcome news to Racine friends that Frank Miller had not met death in a Wyoming mine, as had been reported, and that his mother's sad overland journey, which she had undertaken in order to secure the remains and bring them back to the family home at Shawano, had ended in a pleasant reunion of mother and son. The first intelligence of the supposed death of Miller came last Saturday in a telegram from Grand Encampment, Wyo., addressed to the chief of police at Racine, stating that Frank Miller had been killed and asking that Joseph Miller, of the Miller Shoe Company, Racine, an uncle of the deceased, be notified. The nephew was superintendent of some mines in which Joseph Miller of this city was largely interested. The latter sent word to the mother of the young man at the family home at Shawano, adding a request that she give directions regarding the disposition of the remains. The mother promptly decided that it was a task which could be entrusted to no other hands, and with scarcely an hour for preparation she set out for Cheyenne, the nearest railroad station to the mines. After leaving the railroad, came a long wagon ride, and Mrs. Miller reached Grand Encampment yesterday noon. The first person Mrs. Miller chanced to meet, after alighting from the wagon, was her son, alive and well. Explanations quickly followed and disclosed that while a man named Miller had been killed in the mines, it was not the superintendent, nor was the victim related to the Racine Shawano Millers. Supt. Miller had not been aware that a report of his death had been sent to Racine, and as he strolled down the street at Grand Encampment yesterday noon his mother, perhaps, was the last person in the world he expected to meet. Mrs. Miller, it is presumed, will improve the opportunity to make her son an extended visit. KILLS HIS PLAYMATE. Irvin Taylor of Sheboygan County Sends Bullet Into Boy's Brain Plymouth, Wis., April 8.—[Special.]—Jakie Siles, the 8-year-old son of Peter Siles, was shot and instantly killed by Irvin Taylor, the 7-year-old son of George Taylor, at Taylor's farm, ten miles from here. Young Siles went over to Taylor's house and while there he and the Taylor lad were examining a 22-caliber rifle. Taylor, not knowing it was loaded, pointed it at the Siles boy, saying: "I am going to shoot you," and thereupon pulled the trigger. The shot entered the lad's eye and lodged in his brain, causing instant death. LEAVES EAU CLAIRE. Labor Union Organizer Disappears with $900—Letter Tells of Love Affair. Eau Claire, Wis., April 8.—[Special.] —John Krautsieder, secretary of the Cigarmakers' union and deputy organizer of the Federation of Labor, disappeared Thursday last. He had about $900 with him and his partner, Joseph Lasseck, found a letter indicating that Krautsieder was worried over a love affair and that he was going to Butte, Mont. It has been discovered that he took the North-Western limited going eastward. DEAD FISH MENANCE HEALTH. Wisconsin and Minnesota Authorities Notified of Conditions. La Crosse, Wis., April 8.—[Special.] —Hundreds of tons of dead fish menace the health of people of this vicinity. The shores of every slough and bayou on the Minnesota side of the river are lined with the carcasses of buffalo fish, averaging eighteen inches in length, and with the arrival of hot weather a disease laden stench will pervade the whole country adjacent to the flats and last the season throughout. A dozen yards from the depot in La Crescent is a little slough in which may be seen floating about 100 pounds of dead buffalo. In the fall there was a general rise of water and then a sudden fall leaving shoals of fish stranded in the small slough; after the ice formed death from suffocation followed. The Wisconsin and Minnesota health authorities will be asked to investigate. WILL BUN FOR YEARS. Chippewa Lumber and Boom Company Possesses Sufficient Timber. Chippewa Falls, Wis., April 8.—[Special.]—There is every reason to believe that the Chippewa Lumber and Boom Company still possesses a sufficient amount of timber to supply its mill in this city for from ten to fifteen years, notwithstanding that it has been said many times that the supply would last but a few years. The mill was started up yesterday morning, and it is the intention of the company to run as late in the season as the weather will permit. The demand for lumber has proved a severe strain on the company's yard and many dimensions were sold out long ago. BLIZZARD IN WISCONSIN. Terrific Storm Raging Over Central Portion of the State. Plainfield, Wis., April 8.—A furious blizzard is prevailing over Central Wisconsin. The snowfall is heavy and accompanied by a terrific gale, with the temperature many degrees below the freezing point. It is the worst storm of the winter. CHIEF OF GLIDDEN'S POLICE. Lawrence Hart Appointed for His Thirteenth Term. Glidden, Wis., April 8.—[Special.]—Lawrence Hart was today appointed chief of police here for the thirteenth time. Mr. Hart is one of the best-known officers in this section of the state. SNEEZE CAUSES ACCIDENT. T. J. Post of Pound Dislocates Shoulder While Sneezing.

Frank Aho Missing at Kenton, Mich. Belleved to Have Been Murdered. St. Paul, Minn., April 9.—A Calumet (Mich.) special to the Dispatch says that Frank Aho, a Finlander of Kenton, is missing and murder is suspected. Aho had considerable money when last seen and it is thought that his body was thrown in the refuse burner at the Sparrow Kroll sawmill. TWO ILLINOIS TOWNS SWEPT BY FIRE. Principal Portions of the Business Sections of Fisher and Casey Destroyed. Bloomington, Ill., April 9.—The town of Fisher, east of here, was swept by fire today. All the business houses were destroyed, involving a loss of $100,000. Terre Haute, Ind., April 9.—The principal portion of the business district of Casey, Ill., was destroyed by fire last night and the loss will exceed $50,000. INSISTS MESSMER HAS BEEN NAMED. Secretary of American Federation of Catholic Societies Talks on Manila Appointment. Cincinnati, O., April 9.—Anthony Matre, national secretary of the American Federation of Catholic Societies, today stated that the report that Bishop G. Messmer has been appointed archbishop of Manila has been officially confirmed. Bishop Messmer is one of the spiritual advisers of the Federation of Catholic Societies. Green Bay, Wis., April 9.—[Special.] The report that Bishop Messmer has been named as archbishop of Manila was again vigorously denied at the bishop's house this morning. Bishop Messmer is out of the city, but Rev. Father Sprenger, the bishop's secretary, stated that the bishop had heard directly from the Pope that no appointment would be made for some months. THOMBS TO BE TRIED AGAIN FOR MURDER. Case will be Called for Rehearing Thursday—Two Brothers Hang Jury. Chicago, Ill., April 9.—Louis J. Thombs will have another trial for his life. Though an apparently unbroken chain of evidence showed him guilty of the murder of Carrie Larsen, two jurors, Michael H. Kane and Francis J. Kane, brothers, obstinately held out for acquittal of the prisoner. The other ten jurors were as determined to exact the extreme penalty and would agree on no punishment less than death. The jurors passed eighteen hours in the jury room before they were discharged. When the jury was discharged Assistant State's Attorney Barnes moved for a new trial immediately. Though Attorneys Bowles and Walter protested, Judge Ball announced that the retrial will begin Thursday. In the meantime inquiry will be made by the state's attorney's office in regard to the Kane brothers, and Assistant State's Attorney Carey says that if it is found that they swore falsely in declaring that they were not opposed to capital punishment they will be prosecuted. REFUSES TO FREE GAMBLER OF DEBTS. United States Court of Appeals will Not Discharge Man from Bankruptcy. New York, April 9.—A decision by the circuit court of appeals just rendered is of much interest to bankruptcy lawyers. The petitioner, a former silk merchant, schedules liabilities of $973,000 and assets of $196,000. His creditors vigorously opposed a discharge of the debts. In its decision the court of appeals says: "From September 19, 1898, to April 12, 1900, the petitioner was hopelessly insolvent, yet in that period he lost in gambling houses at roulette and faro and other games of chance more than $160,000, and paid this sum out of money drawn from his business as well as about $75,000 which he lost in stock speculations. "Knowing he could not meet his obligations, he turned to gambling and stock speculations in hope of retrieving his losses, but went from bad to worse and rapidly used up his assets and the money of his creditors." On this account the referee's recommendation denying a discharge of the debts was upheld. DIAZ TO RESIGN. Reported that President of Mexico will Retire After Six Months' Vacation. Monterey, Mex., April 9.—It is stated here on high authority that President Porfiro Diaz will receive from Congress leave to take a vacation of six months and will start about June 1 for Europe. It is further stated that he probably will resign the presidency about the end of the vacation period. SUICIDE ENDS HER EXPLOIT. Indiaua Girl Seeks Refuge from Shame in Morphine. Peru, Ind., April 9.—Miss May Rockenbaugh, 19 years of age, put herself out of the world by the use of thirty grains of morphine in a room in the Tremont hotel yesterday. Her mother is Mrs. Fred Speck, a respectable resident, who is at the point of death from consumption. The girl left home a few days ago. It was supposed she went to visit friends. She had gone to the hotel Monday night with a young man of the town, who has been a cook. They registered as J. T. Young and wife of Oswego, N. Y. In the morning the man sent for a physician, but the girl died in a few minutes. Coroner Yarling is investigating. NO MORE FOR PROTECTION. New York Liquor Dealers Discuss the Excise Situation. New York, April 9.—A secret meeting of the executive committee of the Central Liquor Dealers' Association, composed of five delegates from each district organization, called for the purpose of discussing the excise situation, is said to have resulted, after four hours' discussion, in an agreement to pay out no more money for protection to any person or agent. Murder Case to be Tried Again. Des Moines, Ia., April 9.—The supreme court today reversed the verdict and ordered a new trial in the Hossack murder case.

Six Dead, Two Dying and Two Wounded at Tuscumbia (Ala.) NEGRO RESISTS ARREST Sheriff Killed While Attempting to Arrest Colored Man Who Sells His Life Dearly. Tusgumbia, Ala., April 7.—Five men are dead, two mortally wounded and two seriously hurt as a result of the work of the negro, Will Randle, with a rifle yesterday while resisting arrest. Randle was burned to death in his own house after being fatally shot. The dead: SHERIFF CHARLES GASSOWAY. BOY WALLACE, who was killed and fell into the fire. HUGH JONES. P. A. PROUT, shot through stomach. JESSE DAVIS, shot in head. Wounded: William Gassoway, shot through abdomen, will probably die. James Payne, shot through chest, cannot live. Robert Patterson, shot in leg. James Finney, wounded in shoulder. Negro Makes Hard Fight. Sheriff Gassoway went to a negro settlement, "Knardtown," to arrest Will Randale for obtaining goods under false pretense. The officer was met by the negro, who opened fire with a rifle, wounding the sheriff and immediately firing upon the deputy, Will Gassaway, who was some 300 yards away, mortally wounding him. As soon as possible every man in town who could procure a gun was in the neighborhood, but owing to the location none dared to venture within the open space. Capt. Sampson of the Wheeler Rifles arrived with twelve guns and 1000 cartridges, which were distributed among twelve picked men. This company was stationed around the house and riddled it, but the negro had taken refuge in the cellar and returned the fire, killing Jones and wounding Finney. Coal oil was procured, and, after four hours of hard work the houses adjoining that in which the negro was located were fired. About 8 o'clock the house in which the negro was located was fired by the Wheeler Rifles, who had arrived on the scene. The negro took refuge in a shed and opened fire, killing Wallace and wounding Davis, but the people and some militiamen riddled the negro, and the crowd, numbering 1000, grabbed the body and threw it in the burning building. Wallace, who was killed, was closing in on the negro, who shot him through the body. His body fell in the burning debris, but was recovered. Davis, Wallace and Falkner were the men who fired the building. Three houses were burned in the effort to reach the negro. Negro is Butchered. Florence, Tenn., April 7.—Simon Simpson, a negro, was killed as the result of yesterday's tragedy at Tuscumbia. Simpson began cursing all men who participated in the killing and attacked a butcher named Walker, whereupon Walker hamstrung the negro in each leg and cut off the thumb of his right hand with a butcher knife. The negro bled to death. Walker gave himself up to the authorities. Kansas City, Mo., April 7.— A special to the Star from Lawton, Ok., says; The story of negroes being run out of Lawton is a canard. Several small typewritten slips ordering the colored people to leave Lawton were posted about town, but no one took the threat seriously. There is no excitement here today, nor has there been any. No one seems to know who posted the slips. PATRICK TO DIE. New York, April 7.—Albert T. Patrick, who was convicted on March 26 of the murder of William Marsh Rice, was sentenced today by Recorder Goff to be put to death in the electric chair at Sing Sing prison on May 5. Rice died in this city on September 23, 1900. An appeal to be made to the court of appeals by Patrick's counsel will act as a stay of execution pending a decision by the higher court. The recorder, in pronouncing sentence, made no comment on the jury's verdict. To the customary question as to whether the defendant had anything to say why judgment should not be pronounced, Mr. House, Patrick's chief counsel, said he desired to make a motion for a new trial because the verdict was contrary to law; because it was clearly against the evidence; because it was against the weight of evidence; because the court erred in denying the defendant's motion to advise the jury to acquit; because the court admitted illegal and improper evidence against the defendant's objection; because the court excluded legal evidence offered by the defendant; because the court misdirected the jury in matters of law; because the court refused to direct the prosecution to elect upon which count of the indictment it would submit the question of the guilt or innocence of the defendant, and because it did not appear from the record of the verdict of what crime the defendant had been found guilty. The recorder denied the motion for a new trial. Mr. House took an exception and moved for an arrest of judgment. This was denied and sentence was then pronounced by the recorder. The sheriff said he would take Patrick to Sing Sing this afternoon. Patrick was taken to Sing Sing on a train which left here at 1:05 p. m. His wife, who was Miss Addie M. Francis, was a passenger on the same train. GOLD EXPORT. New York, April 7.—Lazard Freres will export $1,500,000 gold to Paris on the steamer Kronprinz Wilhelm, sailing tomorrow.

The Virginia constitutional convention felt itself entitled to a vacation when it adjourned last Saturday night. The members have dispersed to their homes, and will not reassemble till the 22d of May. It has been realized all along that the great aim of Virginia Democrats was to place their state in line with the Carolinas, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana by eliminating the colored vote. The problem has been to effect an unconstitutional object in a constitutional way; and the delegates dispersed on Saturday night in a happy frame of mind, because they think the problem solved. The plan is to have a registration of voters, with an intelligence qualification. To get his name upon the list it will be necessary for each would-be elector to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the registrars that he understands the constitution. After January 1, 1904, the understanding clause will not be in effect, but in its place will be a poll tax of $1.50 and a requirement that each applicant for registration write his name and address clearly in the presence of the registrar. It is expected that by the end of next year all the white Democrats will be on the list, where they will be safe for life unless disfranchised by crime. It is also believed that the registrars, all of whom will be white men, and most of them Democrats, will see to it that only colored men who are exceptionally gifted educationally are enrolled as registered voters. The fact that the expounding of the constitution must in each case be satisfactory to the registrars will make this an easy thing. With Virginia in line, there will be six Southern states in which the fourteenth amendment of the federal organic law is as if it did not exist. The Crumpacker resolution, with which Congress has been dallying since early in the present session, but which seems unlikely to be adopted, would provide for an investigation that would reveal the electoral conditions in these states in their true light. To deny the negro a vote, but to use him as part of the basis of representation in Congress and the electoral college is a little game of these shrewd Southern politicians that can be blocked only by carrying out a policy—harmonious with the purpose of the federal constitution—in the execution of which the adoption of the Crumpacker resolution would form the first step. There is no excuse for tolerating the system by which a white man's vote in the South counts for more than a white man's vote in the North. The convention began its sessions last June, and has now practically completed its task. When it reassembles it will have to pass upon the finished draft to be made during the vacation by the committee on revision. The only important matter then remaining to be discussed will be whether the instrument shall be submitted to the people for ratification, or proclaimed and put in force at once. Jim Crow Cars in the South Jim Crow Cars in the South. Since our last issue we received the following resolutions with blank petitions for signature. These resolutions speak for themselves and if any of our readers are ignorant of what renders such action necessary we would refer them to another column in this issue, where a lady who recently underwent the experience gives us the benefit of such. In a few hours all our blanks were filled and returned to George H. White, ex-congressman, Washington, D. C. For this rapid work we are indebted to our good friend, Capt. J. B. Buford: Resolved, that the "Jim Crow" car law now in vogue in several of the Southern states is a blow aimed at the civil rights of American citizens, with a view to inconvenience and humiliate the colored people of the United States, who, at all times, and under all circumstances, have been loyal to the government, and excelled by none in their support of the flag, whether as sailed at home or in foreign lands. Resolved, that the colored people have done nothing to merit such unjust treatment, and they appeal to the powers that be to right the wrong thus inflicted, as soon as possible. Resolved, that the bill introduced in the House of Representatives by Hon. Edward Morrell, of Pennsylvania, at the present session of Congress, prohibiting railroad officials from separating passengers on account of race or color is a just measure and ought to be enacted into law at the earliest practicable moment, and we urge all patriotic and fair-minded citizens, irrespective of race, color or party affiliations to join with us in petitioning Congress to pass the Morrell bill at once. Dying for Principle. If the Chicago "boosters" of Mayor Rose for the high office of the presidency are really in earnest they should advise that gentleman to change his battle cry of "This dying for principle is all rot." This would scarcely go down in an aspirant for the chief magistracy of a nation whose very foundation was only achieved after many thousands had laid down their lives for "principle;" it would scarcely go down with the veterans of either the victorious North or with those of the seceding South, who fought and bled and saw hundreds of thousands of Reed Bros. & Lennon Grand Ave. & Third St. Do not make your purchases for Summer Skirts or Dresses until you have seen the latest weaves on display here, for never have we shown such an array of attractive materials.

That hasty and unfortunate expression of our worthy mayor will stick to him so long as he lives politically. We would desire to draw the attention of some of our subscribers to the fact that it is the law of the land and invariable in newspaperdom that when a paper to any subscriber is continued to be mailed to him and not refused, such subscriber is liable for payment of such papers until he gives notice of withdrawal. During the interesting services at the quarterly meeting of the St. Mark's A. M. E. Church, when the presiding elder congratulated Elder Lewis on the Easter decorations, one of the older members insisted that such had always been the custom in the church. To our certain knowledge this is far from being the case. To the new blood infused into the church, and especially to Mr. and Mrs. Bush and others of the decoration committee, the credit belongs and no one should grudge it them. From our article in last week's issue on Sunday night dances it has been pointed out to us that it might be inferred that no proprietor of a hall down town was willing to rent his premises to colored people under any circumstances. Such is not the case. For any legitimate purpose and to responsible and respectable members of the race proprietors are only too glad to give the use of their halls. Only this week Mr. Kaiser, Fourth street, has rented his premises to a prominent colored lady for a May entertainment for the young ones. We are sorry if our remarks led to any misunderstanding. Returning Popularity of the Cutaway Coat. The returning popularity of the cutaway coat for men has undoubtedly been helped along by the tailors who are aware of the fact that in this garment the dealers in ready-made clothes cannot compete with them. Moreover, it is a pleasant alternative from a frock coat in warm weather. The cutaway coat ran a somewhat violent course a dozen years ago, reaching its climax in a coat with skirts that reached at least to the knees. This last distorted fashion practically killed it in the estimation of men who give clothes serious consideration, and the cutaway was put aside and forgotten. Some of the men at the horse show a year ago who have a reputation for dressing well appeared in cutaway coats that were evidently compromises with frock coats. They were gracefully shaped garments, and they have since become very popular. The frock coat has long had a bad reputation in New York during the summer months, but as there were certain occasions which demanded it it has been tolerated. It is likely to be superseded this summer by the long-skirted cutaway.—New York Sun. Two troops of cavalry are stationed in the Yellowstone National park.

There has been a remarkable increase in cigarette smoking among women in New York during the last year. The habit has spread with equal pace among theatrical and society circles. The leading cigarette manufacturers fully realize the increased demand among their fair patrons and have accordingly made improvements calculated to please the feminine whim. One of the well-known uptown dealers has had built in the rear of his store a smoking and lounging room intended for the exclusive use of women. The room is a gorgeous affair, with expensive draperies and bedecked in Oriental colors. Here the women customers are allowed to smoke a cigarette and leisurely quaff a cup of imported Turkish coffee. They are supplied with a quantity of various brands, and quite frequently it is the custom of women to purchase a more pleasing brand, having an aroma distinct from that formerly used. It was at one time thought society women were abandoning the fad, and among actresses the art of puffing smoke was generally abandoned. The leading hostesses now show as much concern in the selection of a certain brand of tobacco, paper and monograms to please their guests as might be displayed in purchasing table delicacies. The hostess orders a box of ten delicately made cigarettes to be placed at the Notion Aisle Bargains Violet Ammonia, for toilet and bath. This ammonia, being perfumed, will be found after using, to have the pleasant odor of "Fleur de Lis," and prevents objectionable smell of ordinary ammonia. It is double strength and will not chap or roughen the hands. 25c size bottle on Friday only.....17c Fairbank's Glycerine Tar Soap, Excellent remedy for chapped hands, dandruff, and is splendid for shampooing.

A young couple about to be married walked into the store and left an order for ten boxes. Each box to contain fifty cigarettes. On each cigarette appeared the motto: "Go thou and do likewise." Studied Insanity and Learned His Own Weakness. University circles at Seattle, Wash.. were startled by the news from St. Paul that Dr. Frederick W. Colgrove, ex-professor of philosophy of the college, was insane and had attempted suicide. Three weeks before almost to the day Prof. Colgrove and one of his classes had visited the asylum for the insane at Steilacoom and studied the very form of disease from which he is now suffering. Insanity was one of his specialties. Until his recent resignation the principal course in his department was psychialry. The first term he dealt with degeneration and the second with insanity and suicide. He resigned at the end of the second term after an exhaustive consideration of the last subject. His knowledge of insanity made him realize apparently that he himself was becoming a victim to the malady. This accounts, it is believed, for his hurried departure from Seattle. He wished to reach his friends before his mind was lost. He had been mentally unbalanced once before. WONDERFUL DISCOVERY Curly Hair Made Straight By TAKEN FROM LIFE: BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT.

Whittelsey Dry Goods Co. 492 MAIN STREET AFTER USING HARTONA TRADE-MARK. BEFORE USING MARTONA Talmage's Sermon Tal N the following discourse, prepared by Dr. Talmage before his illness, a vivid glimpse of the splendors and glories of heavenly life is presented; text, Revelation 8: 1, "There was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." The busiest place in the universe is heaven. It is the center from which all good influences start; it is the goal at which all good results arrive. The Bible represents it as active with wheels and wings and orchestras and processions mounted or charioted. But my text describes a space when the wheels ceased to roll and the trumpets to sound and the voices to chant. The riders on the white horses reined in their charges. The doxologies were hushed and processions halted. The hand of arrest was upon all the splendors. "Stop, heaven!" cried an omnipotent voice, and it stopped. For thirty minutes everything celestial stood still. "There was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." From all we can learn it is the only time heaven ever stopped. It does not stop as other cities for the night, for there is no night there. It does not stop for a plague, for the inhabitant never says, "I am sick." It does not stop for bankruptcies, for its inhabitants never fail. It does not stop for impassable streets, for there are no fallen snows or sweeping freshets. What, then, stopped it for thirty minutes? Grotius and Professor Stuart think it was at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem. Mr. Lord thinks it was in the year 311, between the close of the Diocletian persecution and the beginning of the wars by which Constantine gained the throne. But that was all a guess, though a learned and brilliant guess. I do not know when it was, and I do not care when it was, but of the fact that such an interregnum of sound took place I am certain. "There was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." And, first of all, we learn that God and all heaven then honored silence. The longest and widest dominion that ever existed is that over which stillness was queen. For an eternity there had not been a sound. World making was a later day occupation. For unimaginable ages it was a mute universe. God was the only being, and as there was no one to speak to there was no utterance. But that silence has all been broken up into worlds, and it has become a noisy universe. Worlds in upheaval, worlds in congelation, worlds in conflagration, worlds in revolution. The Power of Silence. If geologists are right—and I believe they are—there has not been a moment of silence since this world began its travels, and the crashing and the splitting and the uproar and the hubbub are ever in progress. But when among the supernals a voice cried, "Hush!" and for half an hour heaven was still, silence was honored. The full power of silence many of us have yet to learn. We are told that when Christ was arraigned "he answered not a word." That silence was louder than any thunder that ever shook the world. Oftentimes when we are assailed and misrepresented the mightiest thing to say is to say nothing and the mightiest thing to do is to do nothing. Those people who are always rushing into print to get themselves set right accomplish nothing but their own chagrin. Silence! Do right and leave the results with God. Among the grandest lessons the world has ever learned are the lessons of patience taught by those who endured uncomplainingly personal or domestic or political injustice. Stronger than any bitter or sarcastic or revengeful answer is the patient silence. The famous Dr. Morrison of Chelsea achieved as much by his silent patience as by his pen and tongue. He had asthma that for twenty-five years brought him out of his cough at 2 o'clock each morning. His four sons and daughters dead, the remaining child by sunstroke made insane, the afflicted man once said. "At this moment there is not an inch of my body that is not filled with agony." Yet he was cheerful, triumphant, silent. Those who were in his presence said they felt as though they were in the gates of heaven. Oh, the power of patient silence! Aeschylus, the immortal poet, was condemned to death for writing something that offended the people. All the pleas in his behalf were of no avail until his brother uncovered the arm of the prisoner and showed that his hand had been shot off at Salamis. That silent plea liberated him. The loudest thing on earth is silence if it be of the right kind and at the right time. There was a quaint old hymn spelled in the old-style and once sung in the churches: The race is not forever got My friends, the tossing sea of Galilee seemed most to offend Christ by the amount of noise it made, for he said to it, "Be still!" Heaven has been crowning kings and queens unto God for many centuries, yet heaven never stopped a moment for any such occurrence, but it stopped thirty minutes for the coronation of silence. "There was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." Learn also from my text that heaven must be an eventful and active place from the fact that it could afford only thirty minutes of recess. There have been events on earth and in heaven that seemed to demand a whole day or whole week or whole year for celestial consideration. If Grotius was right and this silence occurred at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem, that scene was so awful and so prolonged that the inhabitants of heaven could not have done justice to it in many weeks. After fearful besiegement of the two fortresses of Jerusalem, Antonia and Hippicus, had been going on for a long while, a Roman soldier, mounted on the shoulder of another soldier, hurled into the window of the temple a firebrand, and the temple was all aflame, and after covering many sacrifices to the holiness of God the building itself became a sacrifice to the rage of man. The hunger of the people in that city during the besiegement was so great that as some outlaws were passing a doorway and inhaled the odors of food they burst open the door, threatening the mother of the household with death unless she gave them some food, and she took them aside and showed them that it was her own child she was cooking for the ghastly repast. Six hundred priests were destroyed on Mount Zion because, the temple being gone, there was nothing for them to do. Six thousand people in one cloister were consumed. There were 1,100,000 dead according to Josephus. Grotius thinks that this was the cause of silence in heaven for half an hour. If Mr. Lord was right, and this silence was during the Diocletian persecutions, by which 844,000 Christians suffered death from sword and fire and banishment and exposure, why did not heaven listen throughout at least one of those awful years? No! Thirty minutes! The fact is that the celestial programme is so crowded with spectacle that it can afford only one recess in all eternity, and that for a short space. While there are great choruses in which all heaven can join, each soul there has a story of divine mercy peculiar to itself, and it must be a solo. How can heaven get through with all its recitatives, with all its cantatas, with all its grand marches, with all its victories? Eternity is too short to utter all the praise. In my text heaven spared thirty minutes, but it will never again spare one minute. In worship in earthly churches where there are many to take part we have to counsel brevity, but how will heaven get on rapidly enough to let one hundred and forty-four thousand get through each with his own story and then one hundred and forty-four million and then one hundred and forty-four billion and then one hundred and forty-four trillion? Not only are all the triumphs of the past to be commemorated, but all the triumphs to come. Not only what we now know of God, but what we will know of him after everlasting study of the deific. If my text had said there was silence in heaven for thirty days, I would not have been startled at the announcement, but it indicates thirty minutes. Why, there will be so many friends to hunt up, so many of the greatly good and useful that we will want to see, so many of the inscrutable things of earth we will need explained, so many exciting earthly experiences we will want to talk over, and all the other spirits and all the ages will want the same, that there will be no more opportunity for cessation. How busy we will be kept in having pointed out to us the heroes and heroines that the world never fully appreciated—the yellow fever and cholera doctors who died, not flying from their posts; the female nurses who faced pestilence in the lazarettos; the railroad engineers who stayed at their places in order to save the train, though they themselves perished. The multitudes of men and women who got no crown on earth we will want to see when they get their crown in heaven. I tell you heaven will have no more half hours to spare. Besides that, heaven is full of children. They are in the vast majority. No child on earth who amounts to anything can be kept quiet half an hour, and how are you going to keep five hundred million of them quiet half an hour? You know heaven is much more of a place than it was when that recess of thirty minutes occurred. Its population has quadrupled, sextupled, centuplied. Heaven has more on hand, more of rapture, more of knowledge, more of intercommunication, more of worship. The most thrilling place we have ever been in is stupid compared with that, and, if we now have no time to spare, we will then have no eternity to spare. Silence in heaven only half an hour! That Immortal Half Hour. My subject also impresses me with the immortality of a half hour. That half hour mentioned in my text is more widely known than any other period in the calendar of heaven. None of the whole hours of heaven is measured off, none of the years, none of the centuries. Of the millions of ages past and the millions of ages to come not one is especially measured off in the Bible. But the half hour of my text is made immortal. The only part of eternity that was ever measured by earthly timepiece was measured by the minute hand of my text. Oh, the half hours! They decide everything. I am not asking what you will do with the years or months or days of your life, but what of the half hours? Tell me the history of your half hours and I will tell you the story of your whole life on earth and the story of your whole life in eternity. The right or wrong things you can think in thirty minutes, the right or wrong things you can say in thirty minutes, the right or wrong things you can do in thirty minutes are glorious or baleful, inspiring or desperate.

THE BAKERY Gentlemen: — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right car began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this car entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians, among others, the most eminent car specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected car would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treatment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and beg to remain. Very truly yours. Mention the Wisconsin Weekly Advocate when answering advertisements. when in the parsonage of a country minister I resolved to become a Christian then and there, the half hour when I decided to become a preacher of the gospel, the half hour when I first realized that my son was dead, the half hour when I stood on the top of my house in Oxford street and saw our church burn, the half hour in which I entered Jerusalem, the half hour in which I stopped on Mount Calvary, the half hour in which I stood on Mars hill and about ten or fifteen other half hours are the chief times of my life. You may forget the name of the exact years or most of the important events of your existence, but those half hours, like the half hour of my text, will be immortal. I do not query what you will do with the twentieth century. I do not query what you will do with this year, but what will you do with the next half hour? Upon that hinges your destiny, and during that others of you will make final and fatal rejection of the full and free and urgent and impassioned offer of life eternal. Oh, that the next half hour might be the most glorious thirty minutes of your earthly existence! "Forever and Ever." Again, my text suggests a way of studying heaven so that we can better understand it. The word "eternity" that we can handle so much is an immeasurable world. Knowing that we could not understand that word, the Bible uses it only once. We say "forever and ever." But how long is "forever and ever?" I am glad that my text puts under our eye heaven for thirty minutes. As when you see a great picture, you put a sheet of paper into a scroll and look through it or join your forefinger to your thumb and look through the circle between, and the picture becomes more intense, so this masterpiece of heaven by St. John is more impressive when we take only thirty minutes of it at a time. Now, we have something that we can come nearer to grasping, and it is a quiet heaven. When we discourse about the multitudes of heaven, it must be almost a nervous shock to those who have all their lives been crowded by many people and who want a quiet heaven. For the last thirty-five years I have been much of the time in crowds and under public scrutiny and amid excitement, and I have sometimes thought for a few weeks after I reach heaven I would like to go down in some quiet part of the realm, with a few friends, and for a little while try comparative solitude. Then there are those whose hearing is so delicate that they get no satisfaction when you describe the crash of the eternal orchestra, and they feel like saying, as a good woman in Hudson, N. Y., said after hearing me speak of the mighty chorus of heaven. "That must be a great heaven, but what will become of my poor head?" Yes, this half hour of my text is a still experience. "There was silence in heaven for half an hour." A Glimpse of the King's Palace. You will find the inhabitants all at home. Enter the King's palace and take only a glimpse, for we have only thirty minutes for all heaven. "Is that Jesus?" "Yes." Just under the hair along his forehead is the mark of a wound made by a bunch of twisted brambles, and his foot on the throne has on the round of his instep another mark of a wound made by a spike, and a scar on the palm of the right hand and a scar on the palm of the left hand. But what a countenance! What a smile! What a grandeur! What a loveliness! What an overwhelming look of kindness and grace! Why, his looks as if he had redeemed a world! But come on, for our time is short. Do you see that row of palaces? That is the Apostolic row. Do you see that long reach of architectural glories? That is Martyr row. Do you see that immense structure? That is the biggest house in heaven; that is "the house of many mansions." Do you see that wall? Shade your eyes against its burning splendor, for that is the wall of heaven, jasper at the bottom and amethyst at the top. See this river rolling through the heart of the great metropolis? That is the river concerning which those who once lived on the banks of the Hudson or the Alabama or the Rhine or the Shannon say, "We never saw the like of this for clarity and sheen." That is the chief river of heaven—so bright, so wide, so deep. But you ask, "Where are the asylums for the old?" I answer, "The inhabitants are all young." "Where are the hospitals for the lame?" They are all agile." "Where are the infirmaries for the blind and deaf?" "They all see and hear." "Where are the almshouses for the poor?" "They are all multimillionaires." "Where are the inebriate asylums?" "Why, there are no saloons." "Where are the graveyards?" "Why, they never die." Pass down those boulevards of gold and amber and saphire and see those interminable streets built by the Architect of the universe into homes, over the threshold of which sorrow never steps and out of whose windows faces, once pale with earthly sickness, now look rubicund with immortal health. "Oh, let me go in and see them!" you say. No, you cannot go in. There are those who would never consent to let you come out again. You say, "Let me stay here in this place where they never sin, where they never suffer, where they never part." No, no! Our time is short, our thirty minutes are almost gone. Come on! We must get back to earth before this half hour of heavenly silence breaks up, for in your mortal state you cannot endure the pomp and splendor and resonance when this half hour of silence is ended. The day will come when you can see heaven in full blast, but not now. I am now only showing you heaven at the dullest half hour of all the eternities. Come on! There is something in the celestial appearance which makes me think that the half hour of silence will soon be over. Yonder are the white horses being hitched to chariots, and yonder are seraphs fingering harps as if about to strike them into symphony, and yonder are conquerors taking down from the blue halls of heaven the trumpets of victory. Remember we are mortal yet and cannot endure the full roll of heavenly harmonies and cannot endure even the silent heaven for more than half an hour. Hark! The clock in the tower of heaven begins to strike, and the half hour is ended. Descend! Come back! Come down till your work is done. Shoulder a little longer your burdens. Fight a little longer your battles. Weep a little longer your griefs. And then take heaven not in its dullest half hour, but in its mightiest pomp, and, instead of taking it for thirty minutes, take it world without end. (Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1902.)

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

GOES TO SUPREME COURT Case Affecting Many Cities in the State is Appealed. They May Have to Do Much Public Improvement Work Over La Crosse, Wis., April 9.—[Special.]—The brick-paving case decided here yesterday by Judge Halsey of Milwaukee, acting in the place of Judge Fruit of this circuit, will be appealed. If the supreme court decides against the city, as the indication seems to point, it will mean that Oshkosh, Racine, Janesville, West Superior and possibly other cities of the state will have much public improvement work to go over again and it will also mean that hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of bonds will be invalidated. The history of this case and similar ones in those cities is interesting and took up much time at the last session of the Wisconsin Legislature. These towns, together with La Crosse, a couple of years ago attempted to make improvements of a public nature and charge the cost to the abutting property owners by adopting parts of the general charter laws of the state. In La Crosse the work done was the laying of $200,000 worth of brick paving. Here the proceedings were twice declared invalid and finally an effort was made to have the Legislature help the city out. Oshkosh had over half a hundred cases pending when the bill came up and West Superior was confronted with as many. By concerted effort a bill was gotten through in the form of section I, chapter 9, of the laws of 1901. It gave cities the right to reassess property in such cases where the previous assessment had been declared invalid and have the effect of a valid original assessment. It was to test the cumulative act passed in 1901 that this present suit was brought. Judge Halsey decided with the city, but intimated that under the proper statement of facts the law might be held unconstitutional. This point of unconstitutionality will be made the strong point when it comes up in the supreme court. PIONEER SETTLER OF WEST BEND DIES. William L. Jones Passes Away at the Age of 94 Years—Herman Gottsleben Dead. West Bend, Wis., April 9.—[Special.] —William L. Jones, father of Capt. George W. Jones, died at the latter's home yesterday afternoon, aged 94 years. He came to the town of Jackson in the early '40s and resided on the homestead ever since.

Herman Gottsleben died early this morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Julius Liebig, in the town of West Bend, aged 85 years. Mrs. Gottsleben died July 25, 1900. They celebrated their golden wedding, January 9, 1899. He leaves six children. The funeral will take place Friday morning at 10 o'clock. Uriah Sawyer, Brodhead. Brodhead, Wis., April 9.—[Special.]—Uriah Sawyer, a pioneer of the city and state and a former farmer and merchant who had retired from active business, died at 6 o'clock. Had he lived until May he would have been 90 years of age. Deceased was born at Newport, N. H., and came here in 1857.

WAUSAU GIRL DISAPPEARS. Feared that Mary Marquardt Has Met with Foul Play. Wausau, Wis., April 8.—[Special.]—Mary Marquardt, a domestic employed at the home of W. B. Scholfield, this city, last evening requested Mrs. Scholfield to allow her to go to her home in the northern section of town. Permission was granted and the girl left, expecting to return soon. Not returning in the evening nor putting in an appearance this morning proceedings were instituted to find out the reason of her absence. Inquiry at her home revealed the fact that she had not been there last night. Though every effort has been made to locate her, up to this hour her whereabouts are unknown. Foul play is suspected as she had no reason for leaving town and was not prepared to do so, for she was only lightly dressed, was without a hat. She had a shawl thrown over her head. WOMAN LOSES FINGERS. Put Her Hand in Machinery at Factory. Hartford, Wis., April 9.—[Special.]—Mrs. Albert Lambrecht of Saylesville, four miles west of here, lost three fingers of her right hand last evening by having them caught in the machinery of her husband's beehive factory. She was in the factory and noticing that some of the machinery was clogged up, undertook to clear it out, and in so doing was severely cut about the fingers. BREWERY ON FIRE. Plant at Grafton Narrowly Saved from Destruction. Grafton, Wis., April 9.—[Special.] Last night at about 12 o'clock fire was discovered in the office of the Grafton brewery. It was discovered by one or the employees and the fire was put out without great loss. CAN'T ACCEPT PAY. Aldermen and Mayor of Monroe Deemed to Work for Nothing. Doomed to work for Nothing. Monroe, Wis., April 9.—[Special.]—The Monroe city council at a meeting held last evening passed a resolution fixing the salary of the aldermen at $100 per year and that of the mayor at $200. The discovery was made today that the city charter says the mayor and aldermen must serve without pay. SULPHITE PLANT FOR GREEN BAY Kaukauna Capitalists will Erect a Mill to Cost $100,000-Employ Many Men. Kaukauna, Wis., April 9.—[Special.] Another manufacturing industry is just being launched by Kaukauna capitalists. Peter Reuter, president of the Bank of Kaukauna, and his son, A. L. Reuter, are the head of a big suphite manufacturing plant which they will soon build at Green Bay, to cost $100,000. The new plant will be located north of the city near the new mill of the Northern Tissue Company and on the tracks of the Kewaunee, Green Bay & Western railroad with an extensive water front. One hundred and fifty men will be employed. DECIDE ELECTION TIE WITH CARDS. Claimants Cut Pack and the Highest Becomes an Alderman of Wausau. Wausau, Wis., April 9.—At the late city election there was a tie vote for alderman in the Eighth ward. The matter was settled at the last council meeting in a peculiar manner. It was agreed between the two candidates that they should cut cards, the king of any suit to be high and the ace low, and the one cutting the highest card to win. A new pack of cards was secured and shuffled and the first one to cut drew the ten of spades, while the best the other could do was to cut the six spot of hearts. Thus the matter was decided. WISCONSIN CLAMS TO BE SENT TO AUSTRIA. Prairie du Chlen Man Closes Large Contract with European Pearl Button Company. Prairie du Chien, April 9.—[Special.] —Pearl buttons made from Mississippi river clam shells have taken their place among the buttons of higher price and as a result foreign manufacturers are looking to the United States for a supply of fresh-water shell suitable for buttons and fancy trinkets. Several months ago, upon request of a manufacturer in Austria Hungary, Edward T. Martner of this city, one of the largest pearl button shell dealers on the upper Mississippi, sent to the Austrian firm samples of shells taken from the Mississippi at this point, with the result that a contract has been closed for a large shipment of sand shells and negro heads which will be made up into fancy buttons and trinkets. Mr. Martner also has several shipments booked for France. The season of 1902 in the clamming industry is now opening, although the weather is a little cold and fishing rather poor. The estimated output for this season on the upper river is estimated at 10,000 tons. John Peacock purchased of Mike Sturnod a shell digger, a double button pearl which weighs forty-five grains and is silver white in color. NOW HAS TWO WIVES. W. T. Campbell, Monroe, Finds Himself in a Most Peculiar Position. Monroe, Wis., April 9.—Judge Dunwiddie has set aside the judgment of divorce granted the plaintiff in the case of W. T. Campbell vs. Mary Campbell on June 11, 1900. The judge took action after a hearing on the order to show cause and on motion made by J. M. Clancy of Stoughton, attorney for the defendant. The court in setting aside the judgment said that he was convinced that the order of the service of summons by publication was insufficient to give him jurisdiction and that the order was obtained through fraud and imposition. The action leaves Campbell with two wives, as he was married soon after he received his decree of divorce from his former wife to Mrs. F. J. Hefty, who conducted the Monroe House here after the death of her husband. Campbell is a resident of this city. Campbell asked for a divorce on the ground of desertion and made affidavit that he knew nothing of the whereabouts of his wife. It is alleged that she resides at Ponca, Neb., and received no notice in the divorce case. HENRY POWELL DYING. Prominent Republican of Dane County Stricken with Paralysis at Home in Mazomanie. Mazomanie, Wis., April 9.—[Special.] —Henry Powell of this place was stricken with paralysis Monday afternoon and lies in a critical condition. He has had heart trouble, which also perhaps has partly caused his present condition. His physicians do not consider his recovery probable. Mr. Powell is one of the best-known and most prominent Republicans in Dane county. He is at present chairman of the county board of supervisors, which position he has held more than a dozen years. He was president of the village board here a number of years, until last summer, when he resigned on account of ill health. He was a member of the Wisconsin Legislature back in the '80s. He also served in the Civil war. NOT ENTITLED TO SALARY. Heirs of the Late Judge Elliott No Allowed $1000. Madison, Wis., April 9.—Secretary of State Froehlich received an opinion from Attorney General Hicks, holding that the estate of the late Judge Eugene S. Elliott of Milwaukee was not entitled to $1000, claimed by it as his salary for the first quarter of the present year. The law provides that the salaries of judge shall be paid quarterly in advance. Judge Elliott filled out his salary voucher and forwarded it to the secretary of state on the day of his death. This was after the first day of January, but before the first Monday of that month. The estate made a demand on the secretary of state for the salary for the first quarter of the year and the matter was referred to the attorney general. TO PREVENT A SCOLDING. Desperate Husband Calls Police to Stop Wife's Tongue. Marinette, Wis., April 9.—The sheriff's department and the police department answered what was thought to be a riot call from the papermill district. Four officers went in great haste to the scene to find that it was an due to a family quarrel between husband and wife. John Poole, an employee of the paper company, in sheer desperation at the awful scolding of his wife, had telephoned for the officers. When they arrived Mrs. Poole was berating her husband for bringing home butter when he was sent after soupmeat. The officers quit the house in disgust and left poor Poole to his fate. GOAT EATS DYNAMITE. Voracious Animal Feeds on Explosive Sticks. UNTIMELY END OF PET. The Mulligan Household Shot Heavenward, but with No Fatal Results. Eden, Wis, April 8.—Here is a case where a goat, with no baser intention than to satisfy the cravings of hunger, got into trouble that resulted seriously. The pet goat of Patrick Mulligan was enjoying a stroll about the settlement the other morning. His purpose was to supplement a breakfast by such scraps of an edible nature as he could find by rummaging about the heaps of rubbish that grace the door yards of his neighbors. The goat ventured, unconsciously, perhaps, beyond his usual limits, so that he stood near the building where a quantity of dynamite is stored for use in blasting in the quarry nearby. The door to the building stood open and men were inside getting some of the explosive ready for use. Kata Sticks of Dynamite. Being of an inquisitive turn of mind, he entered. Several sticks of dynamite lay unguarded upon the floor, and William hastily swallowed them and beat a hasty retreat. Arrived at the home of the Mulligans the goat sat down to collect his breath. He was so beloved of the whole family that, as a matter of course, it shared with them the comforts of domestic life that the house afforded. The air being a trifle chilly without, and a cheerful fire blazing within, the goat went in and took a comfortable position before the hearth. As it chanced, all the Mulligans were out at the time he entered. If all had not thus been removed from the immediate vicinity the consequences might have been more serious. Goat Goes Heavenward. Under the warmth and his recent collation William dozed, all unthinking of the doom that awaited him. Suddenly, with a roar that scattered the young Mulligans, the remnants of the hapless goat shot heavenward, followed at regular intervals by portions of the stove, windows, chairs, tables and dishes. As a climax the clock, which was the pride of Mrs. Mulligan's life, swept gracefully upward and landed on the roof of the house across the way. Thus sadly did the innocent morning stroll of William, the goat, come to an end. The Mulligan family was inconsolable until Mr. Mulligan comforted them with the assurance that goats were plentiful and that they could have a funeral over what was left of their old playmate. HOBO WORE ONLY SMILE. Burned Up Clothes in Jail Stove and Sheriff Had to Buy Him New Suit Cumberland, Wis., April S.—[Special.] —A tramp, giving the name of Oscar Anderson, worked a smooth game on the city last night. He went to the city marshal with a hard luck story and asked permission to spend the night in the city jail, claiming he had no money to pay for lodging. The official locked Anderson up and the next morning came around to let him out. Anderson refused to go out, claiming that he had nothing to wear and that he did not care to parade the streets nude. Upon investigation the marshal found that the tramp had burned up every stitch of his clothing in the stove during the night and was clad in nothing but a blanket from the jail bed. The marshal was obliged to purchase a new outfit of clothing for Anderson before he could turn him out in the cold world. LIVED PAST THE CENTURY. Gustav Butzow Dies at Home Near Hartford, Aged 101.

NINE SERIOUSLY HURT IN A COLLISION. Seventy-five Workmen Endangered In Accident at Joliet (III.)—Car Crashes Into Train. Joliet, Ill., April 8.—Scores of lives were endangered this morning in a collision between a street car and a Santa Fe passenger train. Henry Muff, motorman, was badly hurt and may die.

The force of the collision knocked a passenger coach from the track and demolished the street car. Nine passengers were seriously hurt. JAMES KISSING CASE THIS WEEK. Sensational Trial to Take Place at Richland Center-Blackmail Charged. Richland Center, Wis., April 8.—[Special.]—The spring term of the circuit court began in this city today. Thirty-eight cases are on the list for trial. The sensational case of the term will be the one of Mrs. Stayton vs. D. G. James. Mr. James is being sued by Mrs. Stayton for $15,000 for three alleged kisses which she claims he gave her against her will. Mr. James denies the charge, claiming the case to be one of blackmail. The trial will not be held until the latter part of the week. MINISTER-EDITOR SUED FOR LIBEL. Printers Who Set Up the Alleged Libelous Article Included In the Sult. Richland Center, Wis., April S.—An unusual libel suit is soon to be tried here in which M. Martin, the pastor of the local Presbyterian Church, and J. W. Irish, pastor of the Methodist Church, are the defendants, together with L. D. Bailey and Harry Bailey, the proprietors of a job printing establishment. Atotrney F. W. Burnham is the plaintiff and demands $5000 for being called an unpleasant epithet. The ministers print a paper, the Advocate, the organ of the Law and Order League, which is devoted to the temperance cause. The epithet to which objection is taken was applied to the attorney who asks the damages, after the trial of a saloon case in the local courts. The case is unique, in that the job printers are made defendants equally with the pastors who were directly responsible for the publication of the article. TROUBLE IS SETTLED. The Peck Ticket Is In Full Possession of the Town Offices. Hayward, Wis., April 8.—The Peck ticket is in full possession of the town offices through an agreement reached between the warring factions. The Peck people, despite the charge of an alleged election, had an equitable right to the offices, as expressed by their overwhelming majority. There is every indication now of an assumption of more peaceful relations than has existed since the Enterprise started its crusade against the Shue faction. Some concessions, however, have been made to the Shue people in order to restore peace. Its newspaper is to have its share of the county printing. It is also to have the privilege of stating in its columns a review of its side of the case, while the opposition paper is to refrain from comment upon the terms of the settlement. The most important concession, however, is the withdrawal of suits for recovery of $10,000 against the county board. Adit-Gen. Boardman has left for home. Madison, Wis., April 8.—A telegram was received at the executive office last evening from Adjt.-Gen. C. B. Boardman at Hayward, stating that he was leaving for Oshkosh by the way of Ashland, and that everything pointed toward an early settlement of the election trouble. PRISON FOR HOFFMEISTER.

Hoffmeister is a cripple, having but one arm. On to Portage. Every Sunday school worker will be glad to know that the State Sunday School convention of Wisconsin, to meet at Portage June 2, 3 and 4, will doubtless be the largest in number of delegates held in this state for many years. In addition to the prominent workers of national reputation who will be in attendance there are men and women of our own state who are recognized leaders in Sunday school work, who will give to those attending the benefit of their experience. There will be good singing. Will Not Die. Sheboygan, Wis., April 8.—[Special.] —The condition of Charles J.

The Territorial Government Reports The Results Reqard Belief. Regina, Assiniboia, Canada, January 10. At the Agricultural Statistics branch of the Department of Agriculture for the Territories, reports are now being received from grain threshers throughout the Territories for statistical purposes. The reports are somewhat delayed this year, owing to the extensive crop and the delay in getting it threshed. The Department of Agriculture is leading the way in a new departure, in regard to the collection of crop statistics. In the older provinces, crop estimates are based entirely on the opinion of persons interested in the grain business who ought to be, and no doubt are, well posted upon the probable yields. Still the reports are simply a matter of opinion, in which mistake may easily be made. The Territorial Department, however, has adopted the system of returns of crops actually threshed, upon which to base their reports. The accuracy of the reports cannot, therefore, be gainsaid, for they represent a compilation of actual threshing results. In this connection, it might be mentioned that the department is organizing a system of growing crop returns, which will be in operation next summer. The information thus obtained, with estimated, acreage, will be available for business men, banks, railway companies, and other interests which have to discount the future in making provision for the conduct of their business. The crop reports already to hand show some remarkable cases of abnormal development. In the Regina district, many returns are given of crops of wheat running from forty to forty-five bushels to the acre. J. A. Snell, of Yorkton, threshed 28,000 bushels of oats from 450 acres, an average of 63 bushels per acre for a large acreage. W. R. Motherwell, of Abernethy, threshed 2,650 bushels of wheat from a 50-acre field, an average of 53 bushels per acre. In the Edmonton District, T. T. Hutchings threshed 728 bushels of wheat from a 10-acre plot, an average of nearly 73 bushels per acre. S. Norman threshed 6,950 bushels of oats from 60 acres of land, an average of 116 bushels per acre. The publication of the actual yields of grain threshed will likely open the eyes of the people to the great capabilities of the Western Canadian prairies. Should Have Probed Pocket. At a recent gathering of medical men in Philadelphia Dr. W. W. Keen, the well-known surgeon, told this story: "After the battle of Gettysburg a corps under the command of a young physician, who had recently been appointed, was ordered to collect the wounded. Among the disabled was a man who had been shot through the leg. The young doctor proceeded to use his knife. After cutting for a half-hour, he was interrupted by the young soldier with: "Say, how much longer are you going to cut?" "Until I get the bullet,' replied the doctor. "Why, you fool, if that's what you want. I've got it in my pocket.' "Sure enough; the bullet had lodged in the skin of the man's leg after passing through, and he had kept it as a souvenir." Threw His Canes Away." Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., March 24. Mr. C. L. Smith of 309 Anne street, the secretary of the Trades Council, has written this startling statement for publication: "I feel it my duty to make public the facts of my recent illness and recovery. I was very sick and sore, and had to walk with the aid of two canes. It was a very painful attack, but I don't know what it was. Some said it was Lumbago, and others that it was Sciatica or Rheumatism. "I was told to take Dodd's Kidney Pills, and began a treatment. After I had used one box I could walk with one cane, and after two boxes were used I could walk without any help. I kept on and three boxes cured me completely. "I am now well and happy without a pain or an ache, and I can very truly say that Dodd's Kidney Pills are worthy of my greatest praise."

Belmont and Mrs. Orme Wilson, jointly, to about forty guests. The affair will set a new fad which will probably be popular during the spring. There is still a great deal of dining at restaurants. Mrs. Ogden Mills and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt have parties at Sherry's on Sunday evenings, and also once or twice during the week. Mrs. Mackay goes a great deal to the play, and often gives little dinners. There seems to be little disposition to go to the country, and town is having a revival of favor. Liberty statue on Bedloe's island is to be lighted more brilliantly than ever before.

Powerful dynamos have been ordered which will furnish means of illuminating both the interior and the exterior of the statue. A "Shaun Reek" baby was born in Bellevue Hospital on Thursday. According to old Irish lore the mother should be happy, for if you're born on the first, second or third day of April—the "Shaun Reek"—you'll always be strong and happy and live long, tradition says. March, the old Irish sooth-sayers say, stole three days from the beginning of April, and 'tis said also that during those three days cows and other ruminants exposed to inclement weather remain strong and healthy if they survive. A townful of raw material for the making of American citizens came floating up the bay when the Batavia steamship chartered by the North German Lloyds arrived from Bremen, with her load of 2692 souls, all immigrants. This is the great time of year for immigrants. But in no previous April have as many come at one time in one ship. The nearest approach to the Batavia's record was that made by the steamship Rhein, which brought 2400 odd on April 4 last year. At the funeral of Prof. F. H. Daniels, a teacher of music, at the family residence in Brooklyn, the body of the musician's pet dog, "Baby," lay under the coffin. The dog was 22 years old. When the body of the musician was placed in the coffin "Baby" lay down beneath it and died as quietly as though he had fallen asleep. The body was not moved, so the funeral services were over dog as well as master. Prof. Daniels was interred in Greenwood. The dog's body will be cremated. Fredinand Bonn, who is to begin an engagement at the Irving Place theater, arrived on the Kronprinz Wilhelm. Other German actors on the same steamer were Adolf von Sonenthal and Mme. Helen Odilon, who are also here to star under Heinrich Conreid's management, but who will go on a brief tour before opening in this city. Herr Bonn's opening part will be that of Franz in Schiller's "Die Raeurber." He comes with a reputation for versatility, and during his stay will have opportunity to prove whether the reports as to his ability are justified, for the repertoire arranged for his New York stay will make strong demands upon his adaptability to roles ranging from light comedy to heavy character parts. The stroller through the streets of the great metropolis often comes across men and women selling little odds and ends for a living who not many years ago were riding in their own carriages. There is one striking example of this at present in the case of a tall and rather slender woman who is seen in lower Broadway every afternoon. She is a pencil vender. Dim traces of former beauty still linger in her face. She was once leading woman in the Pauline Markham Opera Company, and old theatrical patrons remember her as the once reigning favorite of the town. She had her team of thoroughbreds and her liveried coachman and her butler and her maid. And now—sometimes she says she lacks the price of a car fare after getting her 10-cent dinner. This is the way they do business on the Bowery. A customer with an I-mean-business air entered a clothing store the other night and picked out a suit that seemed to suit his fancy. Prefacing his question as to the price he remarked: "Now, I don't believe in haggling. Put a fixed price on the suit and stick to it." "Well," answered the dealer. "I won't ask $40, or $30, or $25, but you may have it for $20." "Then I won't give you $20, or $15, or $10, but I'll give you $7.50." "Wrap up the suit for the gentleman," was the proprietor's order to his clerk. J. Pierpont Morgan, accompanied by Miss Morgan, is now on his way to Europe. Mr. Morgan's yacht Corsair will meet him in Mediterranean waters, and it is probable he will witness the Cowes regatta on board of her. Mr. Morgan was asked if it were true that he intended to take up a permanent residence in England, and replied: "I am going abroad on pleasure chiefly. I have always had a place of residence in England, but I do not consider it my permanent home by any means. I shall, of course, witness the coronation ceremonies. I intend to go to France and to do some yachting during the summer." When asked if he contemplated further purchases of old masters, Mr. Morgan waved the subject aside with a decisive "I don't know." A total of $112,500 was realized for eighty paintings from the collection of the late F. O. Matthiessen sold at public auction. Some of the high prices paid were for the following: "Arabs Crossing a Stream," by A. Schreyer, $13,000; "The Awakening of Love," by N. V. Diaz, $10,000; "Officer Ordering an Advance," by E. Detaille, $7100; "A Gypsy Mother," by Ludwig Knaus, $7200; "Castle and Forest, Lombardy," by J. B. C. Corot, $6200; "A Normandy Horse," by Rosa Bonheur, $7200; "Cow and Dog," by C. Troyon, $4100. At a sale of copies of early books from the collection of A. J. Morgan, Robert Browning's first book, "Pauline, a Fragment of Confession," bearing the author's autograph, brought $720. Only eleven copies of the work are known to be in existence. Are you love sick? If you are, here's a sure cure. Won Lung, a Chinese medicine man, as a witness, tried to substantiate the alibi of Mock Duck, who is on trial for the murder of Ah See on September 30, 1900. Mock Duck had said that instead of killing Ah See on that day he was at Fulton market with Won Lung buying a terrapin. Won Lung, when on the stand, was asked what he wanted with a terrapin. He said: "As a medicine man and clairvoyant I have charge of the love affairs of many of the Chinese. On this particular occasion I wanted to get the shell of a terrapin. After properly curing it I would rub it on the sole of the right foot of a young Chinese patient who was suffering from a bleeding heart. He was in love with a white woman and she wouldn't have him. The terrapin shell would have cured him. If the case is very bad I take the terrapin meat, boil it to a jelly and make him eat it in pills. That is a sure cure for love sickness." SOME NOTABLE DEBUTS. Tragic and Amusing First Appearances of Prominent Stage Folk. By a very curious coincidence Sir Henry Irving was making his first bow to the public from a Sunderland stage when his companion in so many triumphs, Miss Ellen Terry, was making a first appearance at Manchester under conditions which might have been tragic. To neither is the memory of that evening pleasant. To Mr. Irving it was "an eternity of torture;" and his nervousness was so great that on leaving the stage he fainted outright. "Little Ellen Terry's" experiences were still more painful, and culminated, like Mr. Irving's, in a dead faint the moment she left the stage. She was playing Puck in "Midsummer Night's Dream"—she was only 7 years old at the time—and, in the words of a critic of the time, was "as sweet and dainty a Puck as was ever seen on any stage;" and at the close of the play she had to rise through a trap door, throned on a mushroom, to make the closing speech. By some mischance the trap door was closed too soon, imprisoning one of her feet; and when the foot was released it was found that one of her toes was broken. In spite of this the brave girl made her speech without faltering, only to faint away at its conclusion. Coquelin's first appearance is also a painful memory to him. In spite of much anxious preparation he felt that his acting was a failure and that his prospects were ruined at the very threshold of his career. As he left the stage during the second act with the words: act with the words. Those cruel words have set my blood on fire, I'll seek the air to cool my boiling fire. a voice called out from the body of the theater: "That's right, old fellow; do go and air yourself—only don't come back again." That the beginning of a stage career is not necessarily any index of future achievements is proved by the odd fact that Beerbohm Tree was first seen on the stage at a Globe matinee, in the character of Grimaldi, the clown. Mrs. Kendal's acquaintance with the stage began at the very immature age of 3, and her first speech, which was quite impromptu, was addressed to her nurse, whom she espied in the pit: "Oh, nursey, darling, do look at my pretty shoes."—Pittsburg Gazette. YANKEEIZING INDIANS. The Santa Fe School Where They Learn How to Make Money. It is not all a mere school there at Santa Fe. It is what the old-fashioned used to term "a hive of industry." It is a stock-raising community, and a gardening community. One of the numerous experiments in Belgian hare raising was tried there, and it was a successful one. Garden produce to the amount of $2000 was raised there last year. The tailoring, blacksmith, harness-making and carpentry schools do more than just teach their various branches of industry. Their products are used in the school. What the boys learn during the school term they are at liberty to use during their vacations. Last summer sixteen of them hired out for the season, working in sugar beet fields. At the end of the vacation they had earned about $642, and had saved $114.51, although four of them came back in debt. One had saved $27. His method of accumulating this sum and his expenditure of it were highly characteristic. When his companions took a train to Santa Fe—they were in Southern Colorado—he refused to accompany them. He would walk and save money. With the Indian's instinctive contempt for distance, he swung off and walked for several days. He reached Santa Fe, of course, long after the others. But at the station in the city he hired a hack and was driven in the most lordly and magnificent style through the outskirts of the town, across the tracks and out over the plain clear to the red brick buildings."—Anne O'Hagan in Ainslee's. THE THRIFTY YANKEE. Eleven Made a Dozen When One Egg Had Double Yolk. A certain little Flemish watering place, which is much frequented by English and American visitors in the summer, possesses two attractions in the shape of a Presbyterian place of worship and a roulette table. One of the "faithful" had quite recently a most ingenious idea. After the number of the hymn succeeding the sermon was given he stole away, and invested all he was worth on the number of the hymn. Needless to say, the number turned up, and the lucky coup became the talk of the village for the rest of the week. Next Sunday the church was crammed to the door. The pious pastor was rejoiced in heart. After a powerful address he gave out "Hymn No. 27." The moment the words left his lips, to his consternation, there was a rush to the door, and he was left with a faithful handful to upraise their agitated strain of praise. As for the rest, they made a bee-line from the house of prayer to the house of play. It is said that their little adventure cost them all very dear. Whole Village Sold. A good deal is said about abandoned farms in New England, but one does not often hear of the sale of whole villages, except prospective ones that are built upon the sand and are given away with packages of tea. The sheriff at Bridgeton, N. J., the other day sold the whole village of Halberton for $1000. It was started in 1893 as a colony for Russian Hebrews from New York, but proved a failure. The property consisted of nearly 5000 acres of land, 200 houses and a large factory building.—Springfield Republican.

Men of Affairs One may sail the seas and visit every land and everywhere will find, that men of affairs, who are well informed, have neither the time nor the inclination, whether on pleasure bent or business, to use those medicines which cause excessive purgation and then leave the internal organs in a constipated condition. Syrup of Figs is not built on those lines. It acts naturally, acts effectively, cleanses, sweetens and strengthens the internal organs and leaves them in a healthy condition. If in need of a laxative remedy the most excellent is Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is required the safe and scientific plan is to consult a competent physician and not to resort to those medicines which claim to cure all manner of diseases. The California Fig Syrup Co. was the first to manufacture a laxative remedy which would give satisfaction to all; a laxative which physicians could sanction and one friend recommend to another; so that today its sales probably exceed all other laxatives combined. In some places considerable quantities of old-time cathartics and modern limitations are still sold, but with the general diffusion of knowledge, as to the best medicinal agents, Syrup of Figs has come into general use with the well-informed, because it is a remedy of known value and ever beneficial action. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellent combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants, known to act most beneficially on the system, with agreeable and refreshing aromatic liquids, but also to the original method of manufacture. In order to get the genuine and its beneficial effects one should always note the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. A Noted Knight Templar Owes His Health to Peruna. Colonel T. P. Moody, a prominent Knight Templar, is well known in every city in the United States west of Buffalo, N. Y., as a Jeweler's Auctioneer. In the city of Chicago as a prominent lodge man, being a member of the K. T.'s and also of the Masons. The cut shows Colonel Moody in the costume of the Oriental Consistory Masons, 32d degree. In a recent letter from 5900 Michigan avenue, Chicago, Ill., Mr. Moody says the following: "For over twenty-five years I suffered from catarrh, and for over ten years I suffered from catarrh of the stomach terribly. "I have taken all kinds of medicines and have been treated by all kinds of doctors, as thousands of my acquaintances are aware in different parts of the United States, where I have traveled, but my relief was only temporary, until a little over a year ago I started to take Peruna, and at the present time I am better than I have been for twenty years. "The soreness has left my stomach entirely and I am free from indigestion and dyspepsia and will say to all who are troubled with catarrh or stomach trouble of any kind, don't put it off and suffer, but begin to take Peruna right away, and keep it up until you are cured, as you surely will be if you persevere. "My wife, as many in the southwest can say, was troubled with a bad cough and bronchial trouble, and doctors all over the country gave her up to die, as they could do nothing more for her. She began taking Peruna with the result that she is better now than she has been in years, and her cough has almost left her entirely. The soreness has left her lungs and she is as well as she ever was in her life, with thanks, as she says, to Peruna. Yours very truly. Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly becoming a general curse. An undoubted remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Prominent men have come to know of its virtues, and are making public utterances on the subject. To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease. The disease that is at once the most prevalent and stubborn of cure is catarrh. If one were to make a list of the different names that have been applied to catarrh in different locations and organs, the result would be astonishing. We have often published a partial list of these names, and the surprise caused by the first publication of it to all people, both professional and non-professional, Homestead-Rosebud Reservation.

But, ah! I see Old Glory wave Aboye the dramshop’s open door, And set Rum’s work is to enslave, Debauch and rnin evermore, Shame! that our flag protection gives To any evil, small or great!
