(Candidate for the Republican Congressional Nomination in the Eighth District.) VOLUME IV. THOS. E. TORRISON (Candidate for the Republican Congress) The candidacy of Thos. E. Torrison for the Republican nomination for Congress in the Eighth district has aroused much attention and interest throughout the entire district, and his cause is gaining new strength every day. Some time ago we gave our readers a resume of his life from the time he was born in 1855 till the present time. During all his career as a business man his record has been such that he has earned the respect and esteem of his fellow citizens. The eyes of the whole district is turned towards him as one who is bound to be forced to the front. There are several reasons which to us seem to hold good why Mr. Torrison should be given the nomination and the honor of carrying his party to victory. The first of these is that he belongs to Manitowoc county which in all common fairness is entitled to nominate its choice at the ensuing congressional convention. The Republicans of the county of Winnebago have conceded for the last four years that if Manitowoc united upon a candidate such candidate would get the support of that county. It is now easy to be seen that the present congressman cannot secure a solid delegation even from his own county, and as he has already had three terms, he ought to be considered out of the race. Another reason is that it is about time to call a halt on the monopoly which the legal profession seems to think they have upon congressional honors in this state. A judicious mixture may be desirable, but it THROUGHOUT THE STATE THROUGHOUT THE STATE Oshkosh. The Cook & Brown Lime Company are a progressive and enterprising firm and one the members of which it is a pleasure to do business with. They are at all times easy to be approached and treat all alike. Besides their works at Oshkosh, they have also branches at Clifton, Stockbridge and Grimm, Wis. The member of the firm Mr. R. C. Brown, with whom we had an interview, strikes one as especially well-posted in other matters besides his own business, and one may yet expect to see him in the legislative halls of his state or the representative of his district at no very distant date. It is a pleasure when traveling on the Wisconsin Central to dine in the elegantly equipped dining car, where the attention of George A. Jones, headwaiter, is everything that can be desired, while the productions gastronomic of the experienced Chef, Charles Butler, are appreciated by all who know a good thing. Mr. George H. Buckstaff has returned from Hot Springs, Ark., where he has been wintering. In an interview with this gentleman, who has been a valued friend and patron of ours, he was pleased to note the progress of the race in the South, instancing one case that Mr. Jones has made rapid strides to wealth in the street railway business and is now co to be millionaire (Congressman Barney had better put that in his pipe and smoke it). Mr. and Mrs. Buckstaff were inquiring after their old friend Prof. Eph. Williams. Piece of Knife Blade Found in a Man's Heart. Coroner Jackson of New York city has in his possession a human heart that is a puzzle to all who see it, for it has imbedded in it a fragment of a knife blade an inch and a half long, yet the body from which it was taken is without exterior puncture, and the history of the man does not show that he had ever swallowed anything of the sort. Besides, the steel, which is of good quality, is free from rust, and the doctors say had it worked its way to where it is quite possible to have too much of a good thing. The vast mercantile and other business interests of the state require to be directly represented, and men of Mr. Torrison's caliber are just the right men in the right place. It is no less to the credit of Mr. Torrison's popularity than to the hold he has upon the vast majority of his fellow citizens in Manitowoc that they refused to be led astray by the red herring drawn across the path by a political henchman of the present congressman when he informed or rather deliberately misinformed the Milwaukee Journal that Mr. Torrison was reserved for gubernatorial honors. The dodge is an old one, but it did not work. Notwithstanding the inspired Washington correspondence published in the Manitowoc Times Press of the 21st inst., where Congressman Davidson is lauded to the skies for having performed mighty things for his constituents, the people of Manitowoc have in their minds the recent governmental appropriation for its harbor, which in their opinion shows either a disregard for the interests of that city or else an inability to appreciate their vastness not only in the interests of that city, but of its tributary country, which comprises the district which Mr. Torrison will, we believe, receive the nomination for. The editor of the Advocate is in a position to learn the lie of the ground and that it trends in that direction seems to be without doubt, as he knows from Mr. Torrison's friends and workers that they are leaving no stone unturned to bring about this result. was found from any part of the alimentary canal it would have been corroded by the action of the gastric juices. The heart is that of William Barrett, 24 years old, a Bowyery character, who died in the city hospital on Blackwell's Island a short time ago from what was supposed at the time to be pneumonia. Mrs. Elizabeth Barrett, mother of the patient, with whom he lived, said that she did not believe he had ever been stabbed and was sure he had never swallowed such a piece of steel during his infancy or childhood. The Academic Life. "The life within college walls," of which the songsters sing, is, in general, free from excitement, at least from any excitements that are of interest to the nonparticipants. I am not speaking of undergraduates, who have athletics, fraternities and politics, but of the teachers and advanced students whose days are monotonous, passed in quiet, hidden, often solitary devotion to study. New books, instruments, and periodicals give flavor to their pursuits and evoke new ideas. This is the excitement that the scholar loves. To the public his occupations are not only forbidding—they seem dry and fruitless, certainly imbued with incomprehensible dullness; for while the world welcomes the results, it cares no more for the processes of study and investigation than children care for the receipts of the pastry cook. When a scholar interprets the history of the Chaldaean Deluge, written upon a tablet of clay and long buried in Mesopotamia, a new chapter is opened to the reader of the Book of Genesis—but it is more than probable that he knows little of the century of cuneiform scholarship from Grotefend to Haupt, by which this extraordinary story has been made intelligible. It is just the same in every branch of study; conclusions are welcomed, especially in the form of benefits; processes are forgotten. Yet dull as the life of a scholar appears to the outside world, it is often varied by incidents that are entertaining and inspiring.--From "Pleasant Incidents of an Academic Life," by ex-President D. C. Gilman in Scribner's. EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS. --- Congressman Barney, the Negro Hater in Wisconsin, Posing as the Negro Adviser in the South. Negro Adviser in the South. In Congressman Barney's address to the pupils of the chief colored school in Mobile, Ala., he gives utterance to some very remarkable statements. He evidently must be afflicted with color blindness, or else he could never have stated as a solemn truth that a Negro in his state was a curiosity. Probably he meant a rarity. He must know that in all the cities of the state there is a very respectable percentage of colored people, many of whom are eminent in their different spheres, such as doctors, lawyers, preachers, artisans, etc. It seems to us that Mr. Barney by his advice would like to keep the race down to be simple "hewers of wood and drawers of water," and would like to stifle in their souls any ambition to soar any higher. When a race compose one-tenth of the population of the country they are surely entitled to be represented by a proportionate number of that race in Congress, and aspire also to the highest offices. But such a state of matters does not suit Mr. Barney's book. He evidently had been speaking with the sole idea of pleasing Mr. Washington. One consolation we can take to ourselves, and that is, that Mr. Barney's days in Washington are numbered and if we mistake not, his political career in Wisconsin is at an end. The Postoffice Muddle at Oshkosh. The Postoffice Muddle at Oshkosh. It is about time to place the blame for the present state of affairs in regard to the Oshkosh postoffice muddle upon the right shoulders. The story is a long one and cannot be gone into in a short article. Suffice it to say that in our opinion Congressman Davidson has no one to blame but himself for the awkward position in which he is placed. Had he accepted the offer of George A. Buckstaff, ex-speaker of the Assembly, who, six months ago, pointed out a practical method of getting rid of the difficulty by submitting the matter to a vote of the people, and at the same time offering to pay all expenses thereby incurred, it would have been settled long ago, and all this unseemly wrangling and recrimination would have been avoided. It is a matter of fact that the present holder of the office is "persona non grata" to a large number of inhabitants of the city, and that the appointee of Congressman Davidson was neither seeking for nor desirous of the office. Such being the case, it was surely Mr. Davidson's bounden duty to his constituents to fix upon some neutral person who would be "persona grata" and at the same time qualified for the office and likely to give satisfaction. A gentleman who does not seem to care "whether school keeps or not" is not likely to prove a valuable public servant. The reported action of Postmaster General Payne is not easy to understand, unless, as we think, he argued along lines similar to those here indicated. If reports are correct as to the President's action in the matter, we can only think that he has let the military side of his temperament get the upper hand, and throw his influence in the scale on the side of the old soldier, as such. While not giving into any in our admiration of the veterans of the Civil War, it is just a little too much for those who are building up the country, to stand for, that such veterans should get all the plums of office with utter disregard of the fact of whether they have been really heroes or simply as we have been credibly informed is the case in this instance, mere "coffee blowers. Surely for such a term of eight years should be deemed amply sufficient, and Capt. Oleson, if he were not of the nature of a certain animal, which shall be nanneless, would recognize that fact and gracefully retire from the contest. Mr. Joseph G. End and His Candidacy for Republican Nomination for State Treasurership We learn from all the Eastern and central portions of the state that the candidacy of Mr. End of Sheboygan for the state treasurership is gaining new adherents every week and every day. That he is a strong candidate is evidenced by the fact that supreme efforts are being made to belittle his candidature where he is not intimately known, but when the proper time comes it will be seen that his friends have not labored in vain in his behalf.

[Portrait of a man with a long white beard and a dark suit, looking slightly to the right. The background is a plain, light color.]] We have pleasure in presenting to our readers the portrait of a thoroughly representative Wisconsin Negro, Mr. Alfred Black, who conducts a first class barber shop in the First National Bank building, Oshkosh. Mr. Black originally hails from Clarksville, Tennessee, but he has been a resident of Oshkosh for over forty years, and has by the sheer force of his character earned the respect and esteem of his fellow townsmen. Mr. Black is a gentleman of independent spirit and is on that account much appreciated by his white friends. He has acquired a substantial interest in real estate in his home city, and is very comfortably fixed so far as this world's goods are concerned. He is particularly happy in his home life, where he is surrounded by everything which the heart can desire. His partner in life, Mrs. Black, is very much liked by all with whom she comes in contact, and her counsel is much sought after in clubs and church organizations, without any forcing on her part. She was recently TAKE A TRIAL BALANCE. Regular Inventory of One's Inner Life is Profitable. In all the banks in the land, every day after banking hours, behind closed doors, men are taking what they call "a trial balance." Many large mercantile houses do the same. The business of the day has to be all carefully gone over, and every penny received, every penny spent, accounted for. The house is never closed until every item relative to profit and loss is clearly put down in black and white. Even if it requires working far into the night, the trial balance is completed. This is just what each one of us ought to do in our daily lives; for is not character more important than any other business before the world today? What is all the mercantile and financial business for? Is it not a means of contributing to human welfare and happiness? And of what avail is it, if the moral character of human beings is below par? Each night of your life, therefore, before you sleep, take your trial balance. Say to yourself, "What have I done today that harmed or hurt any living thing? Have I wronged man or woman by action or word? Have I repeated an unauthenticated bit of gossip, or helped a story of another's evil doing to spread? "Have I trespassed on another's rights or taken more than belonged to me in the business, social or domestic realm?" After you have jotted down a mental reply to all these questions in your mind's ledger, turn over a leaf and write answers to the following queries: "What have I done to help another? Have I spoken a cheering word to some discouraged soul? Have I been silent when I saw an unjust or cruel action done to a human being or a beast of burden, for fear I would make myself conspicuous by interfering? "Have I failed to give praise and show my appreciation for duties well done by those with whom I associate or who are in my employ? "Have I left unuttered the love I had in my heart for those nearest and dearest to me? "Have I avoided meeting any deserving person whom I might have given a little help along life's road without detriment to my own duties?" Then there is still another page of questions and answers for your book. Here they are: "Have I done what I could in my situation to make the most of myself, physically, mentally and morally, today? Have I filled every lung cell with fresh air even once? or have I breathed more like a canary bird or an insect without lungs than like a human being? "Have I exercised even five minutes in the open air? "Have I opened the pores of my body NUMBER 35. BLACK. a delegate to the Baptist Convention at Appleton, whose advice was much sought after. Mr. and Mrs. Black have been fortunate in their family, which consists of one son and four daughters, all of whom are grown up. The only son, Al, is proprietor of a handsome tonsorial parlors in Wabash avenue, Chicago. Two married daughters, Mrs. Shelton Minor and Mrs. Eph. Williams, reside in Waukee, while the Misses Clara and Rachel conduct a flourishing dressmaking business also in that city. These young ladies are generally conceded to be amongst the handsomest and most entertaining lady members of the race in the state of Wisconsin. Our readers will note that Mr. Black bears a striking resemblance to the late Hon. Frederick Douglass, whom he also resembles in character. He has been a life-long friend of the editor of the Advocate and one to whom the latter is indebted for many favors and courtesies shown. It is with great pleasure that we bring such a man and his successful career to the notice of the public. for even a sponge bath? for even a sponge bath: "Have I taken my food leisurely and in moderate quantities, or have I stuffed myself like an anaconda, and hurried the stuffing process? "Have I drunk harmless and healthful liquids, or filled myself with stimulants and drugs? "Have I read one line that has helped me to think more clearly and broadly, or have I been satisfied to scan the head lines of daily crimes and tragedies? "Have I talked on one subject for two minutes, or thought on one more uplifting than business gossip or the day's scandals? Have I felt one silent wish in my heart to be better, more useful, and a greater factor in the world's highest progress than I am? or have I only wished to be wealthier? "Have I sent out a desire to be helpful to suffering humanity, or have I merely been impatient to possess greater wealth and power? "Have I sent up one grateful thought for my blessings, or only complaints of my misfortune?" Answer every one of these questions before you consider the mental trial balance complete. And then you can decide whether the day has been one of profit or loss.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Philadelphia Bulletin. The Color of Water. It has been shown that the color of surface water depends both on the character of the neighboring vegetation and on the time that the water remains in contact with it. Water near steep rocks, where there are few trees, will generally be below twenty units in color; steep wooded or cultivated slopes give twenty to fifty units; similar, but gentler slopes, from five to one hundred; and swampy areas, one hundred to five hundred, or even lighter. Highly colored waters are more common in the Northern states than in the South. Colored water is gradually bleached by sunlight, the action taking place chiefly within one foot of the surface. The study of color in water is of commercial importance, because most people object to drinking brownish water. Hence, in a town water supply the color must either be removed or its formation must be prevented. The latter is often the most economical thing to do, and it may be accomplished by intercepting the water from the uplands and leading it into the streams without letting it pass through the swamps.—Success.

TWO MEN BRAVE DEATH. Correspondents Make a Perilous Journey to Morne Rouge. Party Narrowly Escapes the Fury of the Eruption—Noted Explorers are Missing. Fort de France, Martinique, May 28. —Mont Pelee, from which there was another violent eruption on Monday, was quiet again Tuesday night, but the inhabitants of the island are in a terrified state. The volcano is puzzling all the scientists, some of whom say the mountain has thus far made only a beginning. Morne Rouge was saved from destruction last night only by a miracle, says a priest who was there. Priest Saves Lives. Two correspondents, believing the volcano had for a time at least subsided, planned an expedition to the mountain for the purpose of securing photographs. Several natives were employed as guides. After a wearying march which took most of Monday, Morne Rouge was reached about 7:30 o'clock in the evening. The correspondents were welcomed by a kindly disposed priest who gave such information as was in his possession. He insisted upon a pause being made for refreshments and in his humble home food was prepared. It was this generous courtesy of the priest that saved the expedition from destruction. The original plan was that the visit should be made to the crater as soon as possible and a quick return be made to Fort de France to avoid all danger. Refused to Desert Post. While the evening meal was being prepared the priest pointed out the work of ruin that had been accomplished. He said he had refused to leave his post, though he was not at all certain Morne Rouge would not be swept from existence as was St. Pierre. It was while he was talking that the explosion came. From their homes the inhabitants of the village ran in a panic. Some did not wait to see what was happening, but hurried over the mountains in the direction of Fort de France. Scores went into the church and fell upon their knees, but by far the greater number ran without daring to look behind. The display of lightning was terrific and awe-inspiring. When the start was made on the return trip to Fort de France the guides and servants were gone. The correspondents had to find their way across the hills as best they could. Behind, Mont Pelee continued to belch fire, ashes, smoke and mud. The detonations were of sufficient strength to make the ground tremble. It seemed to the weary travelers as if the mountain tops swayed above their heads. Encounter Deadly Snakes. To add to the horror of the situation they encountered every now and then afer de lance, deadliest of all snakes. Scattered specimens of these serpents, of which thousands have been killed by the eruptions, were seen amid the glare from the volcano and the flashes of lightning gliding over the rocks and hurrying away, as if they, too, had learned that their mountain home was no longer a safe place. On all sides were natives praying and cursing in turn. Many, exhausted, fell by the way and were unable to continue. From Morne Rouge to Fort de France, by the devious path that was traveled, was almost forty miles. That distance was covered before dawn Tuesday morning. Later arrivals reported that Morne Rouge had not been destroyed, as the force of the explosion was exerted in the direction of the sea. American Explorers Lost Robert T. Hill of the United States geological survey, who left here for Mont Pelee Monday afternoon, has not yet returned, nor has he been heard from. He planned to try the crater from Morne Rouge. George Kennan, the noted explorer, has been absent in the north five days and has not been heard from. FORT DE FRANCE UNHARMED. Cinders and Scoria from Volcano De Not Touch City. Paris, May 28.—The governor of Martinique, M. L'Huerre, cabled from Fort de France under date of today, May 28, confirming the Associated Press dispatches announcing that a fresh eruption of Mont Pelee occurred during the evening of Monday, May 26, causing a great panic at Fort de France. The cinders and scoria, however, the governor added, did not touch the town, falling entirely on the north of the island. Calm is now restored at Fort de France. The governor abandoned his proposed visit to the devastated places on the island, owing to the torrential rainfall and rough sea. Several craters, the governor further reported, were vomiting thick smoke. Another eruption of Mont Pelee occurred as the French cruiser Tage passed St. Pierre recently, resulting in a sudden flow of mud from the bed of the river Blanche. The governor concludes that his latest visit to St. Pierre confirms the previous reports that the southern portion of that town was apparently destroyed by an inexplicable phenomenon, resembling a frightful hurricane which swept from north to south. The fall of scoria formed a layer a foot deep. The northern part of the town is buried under a bed of mud. It is impossible to adequately describe the desolation at St. Pierre. TRAIN IN DITCH. The Great Northern's Coast Flyer is Wrecked Just West of Grand Forks, S. D. St. Paul, Minn., May 28.—[Special.]—The westbound Great Northern coast flyer was wrecked this morning just west of Grand Forks, N. D. The entire train was smashed and lies in the ditch. Several injured, but none killed outright. The escapes seem miraculous. One man was thrown bodily through the car door, and is unhurt save for a few bruises. Two men were pitched through windows and had their clothing torn to shreds, but have only a few slight cuts on their persons. The fact that more persons were not hurt is explained by the fact that the engine kept the track and got out of the way, while the coupling between the cars broke. Each coach swung around failed to telescope. The mail car was thrown fifty feet clear of the track. Des Moines, Ia., May 28.-The east-bound Rocky Mountain limited, the Rock Island's fastest train, due here at 9 o'clock this morning, was wrecked near Avoca, while running' at a high rate of speed. It is estimated to have been traveling between seventy and eighty miles an hour when the tender left the track and tore up the ties for a distance of nearly a mile before the speed could be reduced. No passengers were seriously injured. A FATAL CLASS WAR. Battle Between Freshmen and Sophomores at Vermont University Ends in Death. Plattsburg, N. Y., May 27.—The class war at the University of Vermont in Burlington reached a climax when Nelson Pease Bond of Burlington, a member of class '05, met death here last evening by drowning while attempting to escape from Harry Percival and George Ross, members of the sophomore class of the same college. The freshmen had arranged to have their annual banquet at the Cumberland House, and Bond, with four others of the freshmen, came over on the morning boat from Burlington to make final arrangements. Bond left his companions at 5 o'clock in the afternoon for a stroll, and, it is alleged, was set upon by two sophomores who had followed him, presumably for the purpose of kidnapping him and keeping him from the banquet. He fled before his pursuers until he reached Wilcox's dock, an out-of-the-way place on the north lake front. The pursuers claim he jumped into the lake in an effort to escape by swimming. They endeavored to rescue him by a boat, but could find no oars. After swimming about fifty feet Bond threw up his arms and without a word sank in about eight feet of water. Bond was 19 years of age and one of the most popular of his class. He was a powerful swimmer, and probably was carried down by the weight of his clothes. The sophomores who were his captors may be held for manslaughter by Coroner McMasters, who is investigating the case. Eight others of the class of '05 were captured by the sophomores and held in a box car until a late hour without knowing the fate of their classmate. FIST FIGHT ENDS METHODIST MEETING Son of Bishop Attacks Editor for Supposed Insult to His Mother Dallas, Tex., May 27.—A physical encounter was an almost instantaneous sequel to the adjournment of the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. The last words of the benediction had scarcely been pronounced when Lessler Hoss of Nashville, Tenn., made a violent assault on Rev. James Cannon, Jr., of Blackstone, Va. Mr. Hoss struck Dr. Cannon several blows in the face with his fist. Dr. Cannon defended himself as best he could, which was not well, as the attack was unexpected. Mr. Hoss is a son of E. E. Hoss, the newly ordained bishop. Dr. Cannon is editor of the Southern Methodist Record of Blackstone Young Hoss claims to have been prompted to the attack because of the uncomplimentary criticism in the Record of his mother in connection with the new Order of Deaconesses. NEGRO HUNG FOR TRIPLE MURDER. Killed Woman and Two Children Because He was Accused Philadelphia, Pa., May 27.—William Harmon Lane, colored, was hanged at 10:08 o'clock this morning. The crime for which Lane today paid the death penalty was particularly atrocious. On the morning of April 1 he shot and killed Ella Jarden, by whom he was employed as a servant, and her two daughters, Madeline, aged 12, and Eloise, aged 7 years. Lane had stolen money from his employer, and, fearing the consequences of his theft, he deliberately shot the woman and her younger daughter in an upper room of their home, and then called the elder child from the street where she had been playing and shot and killed her.

Marion, Ind., May 27.—The prayers of a mother saved from the vengeance of a mob her son, Willie Francis, colored, who had a rope around his neck with one end thrown over a tree. Francis returned home yesterday and found two white men talking to his sister. He ordered them to leave, but they objected. He then procured a revolver and fired two shots at them, causing them to retreat. Richard Criswell, a white man, who lived near, hastened to the scene of the shooting and was shot through the hand by Francis. Sarah Francis, mother of the young negro, attempted to take the revolver from him and was shot in the left thigh during the struggle. A mob was formed to lynch him. The mother, suffering and bleeding from the wound inflicted by her son, came to his rescue and by her prayers induced the mob not to hang him. Francis was taken to jail and when arraigned in court pleaded guilty to the charge of attempt to murder. He was taken to prison to prevent further trouble.

Kansas City, Mo., May 27.—Frank Robinson, aged 20 years, shot and killed his sweetheart, Gertie Rawling, aged 16 years, shot and fatally wounded his rival, Albert H. Ferguson, aged 19 years, and shot and fatally injured himself in an apartment house in this city. Free Doctors Under German Law. Under an insurance law enacted in Germany several years ago 30,000,000 people receive in return for a nominal sum free medical attendance. The theory was that suffering humanity would receive cheap and effective relief from its bodily ills, but in practice there are many drawbacks. The doctors hired by the state hold that they are expected to do too much for the pay they get. In Munich they get only about $78 per annum. In order to keep down expenses the doctors are inclined to impress upon the patients that nothing is the trouble with them. Babylonian Clay Slabs. Of the 400 inscribed clay slabs found in the ruins of Babylon by the expedition sent out by the German Oriental Society but two have yet been deciphered—one explaining the Babylonian cuniform characters and the other containing the litany chanted by the singers of the Temple of Esagila on the return of the god Marduk to his sanctuary. —John Owen, an alleged "masher," was fined $100 by Justice Kersten in the Chicago avenue police court.

Boyd, alleging desertion. The strike of the teamsters menaces the city with a meat famine. All supplies from the stockyards are stopped, and attempts to smuggle out beef have proved failures. Butchers threaten to close their shops to aid the strikers, and if the trouble be not settled in a few days hotels and restaurants will find their ice boxes empty. A decree was entered in Judge Tuley's court granting Mrs. Abbey Perkins Cheney a decree of divorce from her husband, John Vance Cheney, librarian at the Newberry library. The decree is drawn up in the usual way and sets forth that the court has found that John Vance Cheney is guilty of desertion, as charged in the bill. —Fred Littleton, alias Johnson, convicted counterfeiter, en route to the federal prison in Milwaukee, escaped from United States Deputy Marshal Cass while the latter was purchasing tickets in the Union depot.

Miss Josephine Pixka ran into her bedroom and seized $200 in bills which lay secreted between the mattresses. Her screams attracted John Novak, who extinguished the flames, only after she had been fatally burned. The bills, which represented the savings of herself and brother for several years, were burned. The girl died two hours later. LATEST MARKET REPORTS. Milwaukee, May 28, 1902. EGG AND DAIRY PRODUCTS.

Rochambeau Procession was Passing at the Time of the Accident. New York, May 28.—One man was killed and 100 injured, while watching the Rochambeau parade, by the collapse of a temporary sidewalk at the northwest corner of Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street. Of the injured four are so badly hurt that it is feared they will die. Killed: COOLIDGE, ELVIN L., circulation manager New York Commercial. The injured: Essing, George, scalp wound and shock. Kelly, J. J., detective sergeant; scalp wound and shock. McManus, M. J., patrolman; three ribs broken and contusions. Werner, Charles; contusions and internal injuries. Platform Breaks in Middle. The accident happened while thousands lined Fifth avenue watching the parade in honor of the French mission that was officially welcomed to the city yesterday. With a crash the structure gave way, engulfing all who stood on it, and in an instant the enthusiastic, cheering crowd was panic stricken. In a moment the line of parade was broken. The Twenty-second Regiment was passing at the time, and the soldiers broke ranks and ran to the aid of the police on the scene, who were unable to handle the crowd. The Red Cross corps was called into action, and the work of rescue was begun. The platform broke in the middle, and it was those who stood at this part who were most seriously injured. The two sides acted as a chute, and those who had stood farthest from the middle were hurled down on those who had fallen directly. At this point the excavation is seventeen feet deep. Immediate Aid Rendered. The police hurried in calls for ambulances. Five responded from Bellevue, two from the New York Hospital, and two from St. Vincent's. Down in the excavation men who were not seriously injured fought with wounded victims and women to scramble out, and on every side were blood-covered, bruised men, women and children. Police reserves were called from surrounding stations, and soon restored some sort of order. Within half an hour after the ambulances arrived more than twenty-five, persons had injuries dressed and were able to go home, while a number were sent to the New York and St. Vincent's hospitals. Warning Given Too Late. Not more than ten minutes before the sidewalk collapsed Peter Schultz, a Brooklyn contractor, went to the police sergeant in charge of the reserves on the scene and said he felt certain the structure was not safe. When he had been told this he ordered five policemen to clear the structure of the crowd, and the bluecoats were in the act of doing so when the crash came. More than a hundred persons had been driven off, however. James Lawton, the foreman in charge of the work on the new building, was arrested by order of Police Capt. Foody of the West Twentieth station, who was on the scene, and was locked up in the West Thirtieth Street station. At the station house he said he had notified the police that the crowd that stood on the temporary sidewalk was too heavy for the structure's strength. SARGENT SAYS GENERAL STRIKE WILL BE CALLED. Head of Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen Claims that All Coal Miners will Go Out. St. Louis, Mo., May 28.—Frank P. Sargent, head of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, member of the National labor arbitration committee, of which Senator Hanna is chairman, and recently appointed commissioner of immigration, stated today that a general sympathy strike of all the soft coal miners in the United States would probably be ordered "The anthracite miners," continued Mr. Sargent, "asked very little and were willing to make concessions, but the attitude of the operators from the start was such that I did not hesitate to suggest the strike to John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America. I do not see at this time any hope of a compromise. "The coal barons believe they are masters of the situation, while the workingmen are equally confident of their strength and their chances of success." NEGROES TRY TO LYNCH MURDERER. Mob Wants to Hang Colored Man Who Killed and Aged Louisville, Ky., May 28.—Archie James, a negro 65 years old, was murdered by John Black, a young negro, during a quarrel. Black was arrested and while the policeman was waiting for a patrol wagon to arrive a crowd of negroes attempted to get the prisoner in order to lynch him. The police succeeded in dispersing the mob. WILL PROSECUTE WITNESS O'BRIEN. He is Charged with Testifying Falsely Before the Senate Philippine Committee. Washington, D. C., May 28.—Senator Lodge, chairman of the Senate committee on the Philippines, stated today that the witness O'Brien whose testimony before that committee reflected severely upon Capt. McDonald and other army officers, will be prosecuted by the proper officers on the charge of perjury. BRIDE SHOT AT ALTAR. Assassin Fires Through Church Window at Close of Wedding Ceremony. Kokomo, Ind., May 28.—A wedding party was thrown into a panic here last night by an attempt to kill the bride. The couple, Julius Kellermeir of Indianapolis and Miss Bertha Kahl of this place, had just been pronounced husband and wife by the minister when a bullet crashed through the window and struck the bride's head, inflicting a serious wound. The assassin has not been apprehended. It is thought he was a rejected suitor. THE WORK OF CONGRESS. THE WORK OF CONGRESS. Discussion of the immigration bill was resumed in the House on the 22d. Almost the entire day was taken up with the amendment offered by Mr. Underwood (Ala.) requiring an educational test for immigrants to this country. It was finally adopted, as were amendments exempting citizens of Cuba, as in the case of Canada and Mexico, from the payment of the $1.50 tax; including within the tax provision passengers coming to the United States "by any railway or any other mode of transportation from foreign contiguous territory to the United States;" extending the exclusion provision to those allens who have been within one year from the date of the application for admission to the United States deported as being under offers, solicitations, promises or agreements to perform labor or service of some kind therein, and providing that the provisions of law applicable to contract labor shall not be held to exclude professional actors, artists, lecturers, singers, ministers of any religious denomination, professors for colleges or seminaries, persons belonging to any recognized learned profession or persons employed strictly as personal or domestic servants. The bill was then laid aside until next week. The Senate amendments to the omnibus public building bill were disagreed to and the bill went to conference. The day in the House on the 23d was devoted to private pension bills and to a few other minor measures. Mr. Loud (Cal.) criticised the special pension legislation as a disgrace and drew emphatic responses from Messrs. Sulloway (N. H.), Sulzer (N. Y.) and Miers (Ind.). In all 105 private pension bills were passed. A bill was also passed appropriating $15,000 to establish storm-warning stations at South Manitou islands, Lake Michigan. Adjournment was to the 26th. The day in the House on the 26th was chiefly devoted to business connected with the District of Columbia, especially the bill amending the district code. Sixty private pension bills were passed, and the conference reports on the agricultural appropriation bill and urgent deficiency bills were agreed to. An agreement was reached that when the House adjourns on the 29th it be until the 2d prox. in order to allow members to participate in the Decoration day exercises. The House on the 27th passed the Shattuc immigration bill and the bill to amend the District of Columbia code. A special rule was presented to make the bill for coining subsidiary silver a continuing order until disposed of. The day in the House on the 28th was spent debating the bill to increase the subsidiary coinage by coining the silver bullion in the treasury and to recoin standard silver dollars as the public necessities may require. The limit of subsidiary coinage is now $100,000,000. The bill increases this to an indefinite amount, in the discretion of the secretary of the treasury. The measure aroused the opposition of the Democrats, who claimed it was only a step in the direction of the complete striking down of the silver dollar. The debate drifted into a general discussion of the silver question. Little interest was shown and Mr. Cochran twice made the point that no quorum was present. Mr. Newlands (Ncv.) finally offered an amendment to make subsidiary silver a legal tender. This was pending when the House adjourned. Proceedings in the Senate. Senator Hoar pleaded the cause of the Filipino people in the Senate on the 22d. He begged the government to pause in what he called its mad career of imperialism, of conquest, of substitution of the doctrine of force for that of kindness and justice. He appealed to the people of the greatest of republics to return to their earlier ideals. In vivid words he contrasted the policy which the United States has pursued in Cuba with that it has followed in the Philippines. "From one we have just come with honor, from the other we have come with nothing of honor." Six hundred millions of treasure and nearly 10,000 lives—the flower of our youth—have we sacrificed in the Philippines, he declared, and for what? To gain the undying hatred of the Filipino people. The army in the main is just and humane, he said, but the responsibility was not upon the soldiers; it rested upon those who declared and maintained the policy of subjugation. Where a superior race attempts the conquest of an inferior race cruelty, atrocity, degradation of both will inevitably follow. Mr. Teller spoke briefly on the Philippine government bill and discussed at length the action of Congress in establishing a republic in Cuba. A temperate and carefully prepared speech on the Philippine bill was delivered by Mr. Dubois in the Senate on the 23d. He confined himself almost entirely to a discussion of the commercial and industrial aspects of the question, his purpose being to show that it would be a disadvantage to the people of this country to retain the islands. An earnest and forcible reply was made by Mr. Beveridge, who contended that the development of China's resources would be of advantage in trade and commerce to the United States, as the industrial development of other nations had been. An extra appropriation bill, carrying $180,000 and chiefly for the navy and interior departments, was passed, as was one providing for the appointment of James W. Long on the retired list of the army as a captain of infantry. Considerable debate was had on the attitude of the House in refusing to accept the Senate amendments to the army appropriation bill relating to the construction of barracks and quarters at established military posts, but no action for a conference was had. Mr. Patterson of Colorado, one of the minority members of the Philippine committee, occupied the floor of the Senate most of the day on the 26th in a discussion of the Philippine question. He quoted from the utterances of his newspaper, the Denver News, to show that it consistently had advocated the independence of the Filipinos since December, 1898. He said the editorials quoted by Mr. Foraker some days ago had been written prior to that time. He discusseed the whole Philippine question, and several lively colloquies occurred during the speech. Mr. Foraker and Mr. Hoar had a brief debate over President McKinley's proclamation to the Filipinos. Mr. Hoar asked Mr. Foraker to read the sentence in President McKinley's proclamation which had been eliminated by Gen. Otis lest it should bring on war. He said Gen. Otis had assumed extraordinary authority to himself to suppress a part of the proclamation, and to substitute a statement that would indicate to the Filipinos that they were to be granted a full measure of liberty. Senator Hoar introduced the following resolution: "That the President be required to inform the Senate whether there be any law or regulation in force in the Philippine Islands which will prevent any native of those islands who may so desire, who is not under arrest and against whom no charges of any offense against the United States is pending, from coming to the United States and stating his views or desires as to the interests of his people to the President or either house of Congress." The conference report on the fortifications appropriation bill was agreed to without debate, and sixty-two private pension bills were passed. The usual executive session preceded adjournment. A fruitless effort was made in the Senate on the 27th to secure an agreement on a time for a vote on the Philippine bill. The discussion indicated that some day next week eventually would be agreed upon, but no time was fixed. For several hours Mr. Patterson discussed the Philippine question. He urged that the Fillipinos be granted their independence, and drew an eloquent word picture of the turning over to the Filipinos by the United States of the islands when they had established a government. Early in the session a committee was appointed by the Senate to confer with a like committee of the House about the disagreement which has arisen between the two houses as to the army appropriation bill. A resolution offered by Mr. Hoar, requesting the President to inform the Senate whether there be any law which would prevent any Filipino not under arrest from coming to the United States and stating his views or desires as to his country to the President or to either branch of Congress, was adopted. The Philippine question again monopolized most of the session of the Senate on the 28th. The conference report on the omnibus public building bill was agreed to. A joint resolution was passed providing for the printing of 20,000 copies of the proceedings of the unveiling of the statue of the Count de Rochambeau. A bill was passed providing for the occupancy by the G. A. R. of the new public printing building during the national encampment in October. The usual executive session preceded adjournment. Christy Matthewson, New York's crack pitcher, has asked for his release from the Giants because of an interview with Manager Fogel, which appears in a Cincinnati paper. Fogel says in his interview that Matthewson is not doing good work. POISONED ARROWS. The Sumpitan of Borneo, the Most Deadly of All Savage Weapons. Most remarkable, and perhaps most deadly of all savage weapons, is the sumpitan of Borneo. It is extraordinary that the Dyaks, barbarous and uncultured as they are, should have anticipated the idea of our rifle and bayonet it is not known how many centuries before the secret of gunpowder was discovered. Their gun is a blow-pipe of hard, light wood, some eight or ten feet in length and about an inch in diameter; and their bayonet is a kind of broad, sharp-edged and pointed spearhead. This is bound to the head of the blow-gun by means of strong rattan or brass wire, and it is so arranged that it does not interfere with the flight of the darts. This, at first glance, is a deadly weapon at close quarters in the hands of a dashing warrior like the Dyak; but it is even more effective at a distance, for the little arrows made from the spicules of the sago palm are tipped with the poison of the upas tree. The arrows are so small that they inflict only a puncture like that of a pin prick; but, by virtue of the poison, many a man has died five minutes after being hit. This fact, coupled with the marvelous delicacy of construction and consequent accuracy of the sumptian in the hands of the experienced Dyak marksman, makes it a most formidable weapon. In the attack led by Johnson in 1859 against the Dyaks of the interior, he lost upwards of thirty men under the fatal fire of these weapons, and not one of them showed any wound more dangerous looking than a mere pin prick of the skin. The advantage that this weapon has even over the rifle is that in the dense foliage a Dyak marksman may lie concealed and pick off his enemy without betraying his whereabouts either by the sound of a report, by flash, or smoke. Altogether it requires an intrepid soldier to face the silent and deadly sumpitan. Warfare by poisoned missiles is nowhere so perfect as in Borneo, and various savage races do what they can in the art. The fans use a small poisoned arrow, which they discharge with a cross-bow, but, though the poison is very deadly, it is neither so carefully made nor capable of such arruacy of aim as the sumpitan arrow of the Dyaks. Indeed, it is so blunt that it frequently hits without penetrating the skin. The savage tribes of Guiana also use poison known as wourali on their arrows, which are not only multi-barbed with the tail of the stinging ray, but have cunningly detachable points. The Maoris of New Zealand, and many Polynesian tribes, having no poison which they can use for the purpose, adopt the next best thing, and tip their spears and darts with hardwood from the trunk of the ponga, or tree fern, the beauty of this wood, from the savage warrior's point of view, being that it is of a highly irritant nature, and sets up festering wounds very quickly.—New York Evening Post. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Charles H. Fletcher. At Charenton lives a lady who on April 30, 1894, was left a widow. Her grief for her dear depatred was so strong and it has continued unabated to such an extent that every year, when the anniversary of her husband's death comes round, she attempts to commit suicide. Seven times had she done so and seven times had she been prevented from carrying out her object. Yesterday she lit her chafing dish for the eighth time and again the neighbors rushed into the room in time to prevent the rash act. When restored to consciousness the woman exclaimed, "My darling, you won't lose anything by waiting. Wait until next year."—Paris Messenger. Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury. as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces.

But that is what was recently hauled over the Thunder Bay and Wabigoon section of the Canadian Pacific railway. It comprised 105 cars. Situate next to the engine was a testing car. The train was sent over the road to ascertain exactly the tonnage that could be handled on the various grades between the lake and leveler sections of the prairie. With this knowledge gained, plans will be prepared to lower the grades where necessary, and generally improve the road to allow of the haulage of the maximum tonnage both directions. A portion of the $2,000,000 appropriated for the improvement of that section will be applied to this work. —Someone has circulated that it would take a typist 3700 years of working time to write "Dear Sir" and "Yours truly" to all the letters in a year.

St. Jacobs Oil and Vogeler's Curative Compound Cured Him. "I have been a great sufferer from Rheumatism for many years. I was laid up with Rheumatic Fever for nine weeks in 1894, and again for sixteen (16) weeks in 1896. I tried many medicines I saw advertised and others I was recommended; finally I was induced to take Vogeler's Curative Compound, which did me more good than all other medicines. In fact, I feel quite a different man since I have been taking the Compound. All my neighbors and friends are quite surprised to see me about and looking so well. I can only say that Vogeler's Curative Compound taken internally and by using St. Jacobs Oil outwardly acted like magic in my case.

The whole week had gone wrong. On Mon- day she had declined to go boating, be- cause she was going out for a ride— with his rival, On Tuesday she had refused him a walk, pleading a previous engagement — with his rival. On Wednesday she was tired from the night before, and would not go rowing with him. That evening she had worn a bunch of daisies which he had seen his rival plucking. Then, childishly enough, he had avoided her for two days, and then for the next two days she seemed to avoid him; and so things had gone trom bad to worse. There seemed, now, a studied coldness between them, The last and worst stroke of all was when he saw his riyal wearing the scarf pin he himself had given her. He had reasoned it all out logically, and found that he had no rea- son to feel hurt, since he had no claim whatever upon her; but his heart re- fused logic utterly. He walked away and sat under a tree with his back to the direction in which she had gone. In a few moments, how- ever, he heard her merry laugh, and saw her again by the light of the low swung Japanese lanterns. The soft light fell prettily over her white gown, which was sheer and cloudy—‘floaty,” as Shilton called it. He saw his rival take her hand and lead her into a few steps of the iinuet. “Would it not be fine to dance out here on the grass?’ he heard her say. And then he saw them take position for a two-step. “You must whistle the ‘Directory,’ ” she said. “I can’t think of it,” answered his vi- val, still keeping his position. “Then we can’t dance,” she laughed again. “I will only dance it to the *Di- rectory.’ ” Shilton clenched his hands and walked back and forth in the deep shadows of the tree. It was not long before he was besieged by energetic ladies and enthu- siastic girls asking him to buy any num- ber of nameless little trinkets, for it was the evening of the yearly Summer Mis- sion fair of the Hot Springs, held on the hotel lawn. One pretty girl begged him to have his picture taken by flashlight. “Only,” she said laughing, “you must stop frown- ing so blackly, or the flashlight will be of no use.” When she was gone he frowned twice as blackly. Then others came, asking him to take chances for bed quilts, em- broideries, paintings, lamps, and other things which he hated. Someone else pleaded with him to give a dollar to have his silhouette cut, and he gave $2 not to have it cut. At last a pretty girl of 15 came to him and said: “Mr. Shilton, you must have your for- tune told. You must find out if she loves you. You know it is worth a quar- ter. Come now, isn’t it?” Shilton, being perfectly aware that it was worth the whole world to him, did not deny her statement, but stood frown- ing. “Ah, do come!” she pleaded. “Mrs. Parker Averill is our fortune-teller, There! I really ought not to have told you! It is a secret. She is disguised, you know, and wears a veil and all, so that no one knows her. But she does tell the most wonderful things!” It seemed so utterly foolish to have his fortune told, Besides, he knew Mrs. Averill by sight only. | Not knowing him, she would have to make up a lot of impossible things about his being in love and marrying, and all the rest of the unlikely rubbish these people usually tell. Nevertheless, the pretty little fortune agent urged, and he followed her. The tent was the conventional gipsy booth, with a caldron, which, in consid- eration of the August’ night, had only a mock fire under it. , The sides of the tent were hung with skins, andehere and there, peering out uncomfortably from unsuspected places, were great Japanese spiders and toads. It was quite dark, too, save for the wierd light of a red lantern at the entrance. With her back . to this, and closely enveloped in a long cloak, ‘sat the fortune teller, her face concealed by a Spanish veil, fastened un- der a fantastic headdress. “The very_best of Inck to you!” said the girl of 15, as she left him in charge of the gipsy. Rather doggedly and feeling very like a schoolboy, he sat down on the little low seat before the fortune teller. “Palm or cards?” said the gipsy, Cra her cloak more closely about ner, “Oh, the infallible cards, by all means,” said Shilton, a little sneeringly. She bade him shuffle and cut the pack. Then she spread them out one by one before her on a board covered with deer- skin. “Now, let me see, you are not entirely blonde. TI think I shall run_you through as the Jack of Hearts. Where is the Jack of Hearts? Ah, yes! Very fortu- nate!” she began mysteriously. ‘Wealth, health, and advantage cards together. Much travel. You have traveled a great deal, have you not?” He nodded his head. 3 “Pessimistically inclined. Yes, at one time you were very pessimistic, shortly after the death of some one dear to you.” « He had once lost a sister, and after- wards almost gone to the dogs. But Mrs. Averill could not know that; it was a mere coinciaence. He looked up sharp- ly at the gipsy, but she continued: “Yes, your nature 1s a little unfortu- nate, a little unhappy. Lately—no—yes, lately you have loved. There is a blonde man, and the jealousy card, the three of clubs, is between you and the blonde man. She is a_ brunette. Spades. Clubs. Ah, misfortune comes to you through jealousy. It is that un- fortunate nature of yours again,” ‘she said, solemnly, putting_her finger on.a black card. near the Jack of Hearts. “The. card of imagination near to it. You have imagined! And yet she—the brunette—you have no warrant for_ it. Only light cards surround her. You have misjudged her.” “How do you mean?” he was startled into see r : “See!” she said, laying her finger on the hated Jack of Diamonds, which stood for his rival.» “You have no cause for jealousy. There are no love cards be- tween them. She does not love him.” MAY BECOME BRIDE OF REGGY VANDERBILT. ee . 4 : Sd ee > (ee ES b> Fe gis PRET: PAE EE ai a ak ae oF eas Pe a 3% ees ‘8 Jas ek, a: . ee Re can pe F ® place eae e aS Ra eae eit Re Oe ae! 0 ee es rltri—“i—i~s~*s*~—™—OSOO aorta re 4 oe ae Uc le Be a { i Peet SOS e pear oe bs \ ee a ie, LF ae an 2 ae. ia = =e — ‘ — oo fF i Cs oe : Ce oe. oat oo a ee t”t—g Rw : a : Se v lr ee : ro vey Sa Rees a ee ees re : ee ur oN ae 4 ee a. Ss — Oi ESI SSS MISS NEILSON, ‘Another Vanderbilt marriage is likely to be shorty announced. Reginald, the youngest of the house of Vanderbilt. is said to be desperately in love with Uiss Kathaleen Neilson and their engagement is expected shortly to be announced. all. Do you mean to say I’ve no cause for jealousy with that Jack of Diamonds so near my brunette of Spades?” “None,” she replied solemnly. “No danger of her falling in love with him?” “No,” said the gypsy; “the love cards are not there.” “Here they are, on the other side of the brunette—the nine, five and seven of Hearts.” y Shilton drew up nearer in a business- like way. He wanted to get the run of it all. “On the other side,” he said. “five, seven, nine—those are love cards? Well, what does that mean?” He looked puz- aled, and then put his finger on the Jack of Hearts. “Isn't that myself—that Jack of Hearts?” “Yes,” snid the gipsy, dreamily. “Then the love cards are between the Queen of Spades—that is my brunette— and the Jack of Hearts—which is my- self?” The fortune teller assented. “Then that means—she loves me?” “Yes,” said the gipsy, almost under her breath, “she does.” Shilton thought a moment. “Well, that’s just where you’re wrong,” he said ungraciously, and rose with a frown. Then he laughed a harsh, irritated laugh. “You see, I knew before I came in. So you will excuse my saying it is rubbish. But here is a dollar for the cause.” As he was leaving the tent Mrs. Parker Averill passed him, going into it. “You poor, dear child!” he heard her say. “Did you grow very tired waiting for me? It Was So good of you to take my place for awhile. Have you told many fortunes?” He stopped just beyond the tent, and heard the gipsy answer. It was not in the mysterious tones he had heard, but in a girlish voice which he thought he knew better than any other voice in the world. His heart leaped up and then seemed to stand still. “Yes.” it said softly, “and _ nobody guessed in the least that it was I.” He waited a few minutes until, the long red robe and veil thrown off, she fluttered out of the tent in her filmy white dress, like a white moth. “Alice!” he said softly. With a little cry she found herself face to face with him. A few minutes later the Jack of Dia- monds, holding something between his fingers, came sauntering up to where the Queen of Spades and the Jack of Hearts were walking beneath the shade of an oak tree. “Do you know,” he said, taking no notice of the Jack of Hearts, “I’m so glad to have found you. I've only just learned that this stick pin belongs to you. I found it two days ago, and have even worn it once or twice. T am awful- ly sorry to have kept it. You will for- Gas me, won't you? There were no in- itials.” “It's not really mine,” said the Queen of Spades, for the same lack of reason that girls say many things. “Yes, it is hers,” said the Jack of Hearts, pleasantly, taking it from the Jack of Diamonds. “At least it is mine, and it is just the same thing.” And then the Jack of Diamonds said: “Oh!"—Laura Spencer Porter in New York Daily News. Carry Gold in Quills. According to. Le Roux, a French ex- plorer, the natives of Abyssinia have a queer way of carrying to market the gold that they find in the beds of streams. They find it as dust and as small nug- gets, and put it into large quills, as transparent as glass tubes. The brok- ers who buy it work it up into the form of circles of the size of an ordinary fin- ger ring, but without closing the circle, for the purchaser always insists on twist- ing it to see that it does not contain any adulteration. Experienced fingers can tell at once whether the yielding metal has the exact malleability of pure gold.— Philadelphia Record. Ghiian ith Gee nia The Castellane family of France will be well represented in the next House ot Deputies. Count Boniface, who needs no American introduction, was re-elected on Sunday, and his brothers, Counts Jean and Stanislas, have also been elected. This is the first time that three brothers have been returned simultaneously, and has given occasion to the following ex- pression from a ministerial organ in Paris: “As Napoleon carved kingdoms for his brothers, Count Boni is berthing his family in polities.

It is said that 11,600 tourists have been killed since it has become a fad to make the ascent of the volcano. Formerly the trip was made on foot or horseback. The fact that the central cone of Vesuvius col- lapsed a few days ago, and that long and deep cracks have made their appear- ance, gives rise to reasonable belief that startling voleanic disturbances are immi- nent.

PAUNCEFOTE AT REST, President and Leading Members of the Government Attend Serv- | lces at St. John’s Church. ; Washington, D. C., May 28.—The re- mains of the late Lord Pauncefote, Brit- ish ambassador to the United States, to- day were accorded a national funeral in token of the high esteem set by the American people on the personal worth of the deceased and as an acknowledg- ment of the friendly feeling which is cherished towards Great Britain. Every department of the national government was represented and the numerous diplo- matic body, ofwhich for so many. years the late Lord Pauncefote was dean, was present in the es of ambassadors, ministers and charges. In addition to these the resident society of the capital was fully represented. - The presence of a thousand men in arms was the visible sign of pullitery pastrination in the fu- neral. The church of which the de- ceased was a member ‘did hondér to his memory by bringing to Washington to conduct the services the coadjutor bishop of Betmegec ns) Rt. Rey. Mackay Smith, who had been a close friend of the deceased. The Pallbearers, The pallbearers were Herr von Holleb- en; the German ambassador; M. Jules Cambon, the French ambassador; Comte Cassini, the Russian ambassador; Senor Don Manuel de Aspiroz, the Mexican ambassador; Secretary sate Speaker Henderson and Senator Orville M. Platt, the acting president pro tem. of the Sen- ate. The body of St. John’s Church had been compietely filled before the funeral procession arrived. President in Place of Honor. President Roosevelt had the place of honor at the right of the central pew. With him sat Mr. Raikes, the British charge and for this speci oceasion the personal representative of King Edward VII. On his left sat Capt. Bell, repre- senting the Dominion of Canada, by spe- cial designation. To the teft of the prest- dential pew and in line with it were Lady Pauncefote and her three daugh- ters, the Honorable Sybil, Audrey and Maud. The ambassadors were placed in the pew to the left of these ladies. The ere e, pew on the right of the President was occupied by Maj.-Gen. Young and staff in charge of the mili- tary portion of the funeral service. The staff of the British empassy sat directly in the rear of the Pauncefote ladies and in their rear the diplomatic corps filled a considerable portion of the near of the church. The cabinet was accommodated in two pews, directly behind the Presi- dent's pew, and the supreme court was given similar accommodation in pews in alignment with these. The Senate com- mittee on foreign relations, headed by Senator Cullom, and the House commit- tee on foreign affairs, under the lead of Representative Hitt, were behind the cabinet in the right middle pews, and adjoining them sat Lieut.-Gen. Miles and Admiral Dewey with their staffs; the assistant secretaries of departments and the commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia. The epace in the rear of these officials was occupied by officers of the “ny and navy. Services at St. John’s, The services at St. John’s Church were similar to the memorial service held at that church in honor of the late Queen Victoria. The large choir of forty men and boys took part in the service at Lady Pauncefote’s request. At the express wish of the family, the escort from the church to the cemetery was limited to a single squadron of United States cavalry. Not even the honorary pallbearers were calied on to accompany the remains further than the chureh, for it was held that here the re- ligious services had terminated. So with the mourners in their carriage and ‘the officiating clergymen and a few of the embassy staff the remains were taken di- rectly to Rock Creek cemetery, where they were placed in the receiving vault, there to remain until such time as they should be conveyed on a United States warship across the broad Atlantic to the ancestral home of the late Lord Paunce- fote of Preston. ELEPHANT KILLS MAN WHO OFFERS GLASS OF BEER. Joseph Blunt Offends Great Ani- mal and Pays the Penalty with His Life. New York, May 28.—“Tops,” = female elephant of the Forepaugh & Sells cir- cus, killed a man today at the show ground of the circus in Brooklyn. He was Joseph Blunt of Fort Wayne, Ind. He went to the elephant’s enclosure, where the animals were waiting for their breakfast and each stuck out his trunk to “shake hands” as Blunt passed dowa in front of them, it being the custom of the trainers to salute each clephant with a gentle tap. Blunt had a beer glass in his hand and when he ap- pronched “Tops” he thrust it at her. The act seemed to offend her aud she seized him with her trunk, and after hurling him violently to the ground, knelt on him and crushed him to death. Keepers came to the reseve too late, They drove “Tops” back and removed the body, Fort Wayne, Ind., May 28.—Jesse L. Blunt, the man slain by an elephant .in Brooklyn today, was formerly a railroad brakeman residing here. He has a sister living here. ¥ y NO EFFORT JS MADE TO BREAK MILL STRIKE. Proprietors at Stillwater Claim No Formal Demand Has Been Made Upon Them. Stillwater, Minn., May 28.--No effort will be made to break the mill and river strike in the immediate future. The eight mills in this vicinity are not turn- ing a wheel. The Hudson (Wis.) mill is running night and day on eleven-hour shifts with the understanding that the scale will be adjusted in accordance with the decision at the mills here. The mill owners claim that no formal demand has been made upon them by persons with authority to act for the strikers. They did not regard the committee of Monday as empowered to treat with them. The strikers are busy forming a union. SHOT BY HIS COUSIN. August Lacanne, Aged 6, Accident- ally and Fatally Wounded by Joseph Lacanne. Menominee, Mich., May 28.—[Special.J —August Lacanne, aged 6, was acci- dentally shot and almost instantly killed this morning by his cousin, Joe Lacanne, also aged about 6.

Upon being informed that it was not, he in- serted a cartridge. In some unexplained manner the weapon was discharged, the shot plowing a hole in August’s breast. BOERS SURRENDER. Field Cornet Visaye and Several Leaders of Lesser Note Give Up to the British. Pretoria, May 27.—Field Cornet Vis- aye, an influential leader, and several other Boers of lesser note have ‘surren- dered to the British at Balmoral. The prevalence throughout South Afri- ea of the optimistic feeling in regard to ‘the peace negotiations is hardly based upon solid facts. The protraction of the conference at Vereeniging is not neces- . sarily a hopeful sign. The delegates to the conference, al- though they have abandoned their hopes of securing independence, still have ‘many points of difference with the gov- ernment, while an obstinate minority continues to regard the resumption of hostilities as the best outcome of the present situation, and at any .moment these points of difference may be accent- uated into a refusal to continue the nego- tiations. It is most unlikely that those who are in favor of peace will threw up the sponge so long as a decent minority i desirous of continuing the struggle, and all these dissonant elements must be tak- en into account before.it is possible to give any sort of prediction as to the issue of the present negotiations. British Cabinet Meets. London, May 27.—The British cabinet was in session for two hours today dis- ne the communications received from Pretoria since the meeting of the ministers on Friday last. It is under- stood that the inner committee of the cabinet will oe the results of the deliberations to Pretoria this afternoon. The Boer delegates at the Transvaal cap- ital will.then probably return to Vereeni- sing and ee to the burghers who are still assembled there. According to the views of officials here there is nothing to warrant the pessi- mistic opinions expressed in some cir- cles regarding the ultimate outcome of the discussions at Pretoria and Vereen- ingen. The Associated Press learns that the government continues satisfied that the negotiations will result in peaceful settlement. Some minor points are still being discussed, but the subject is ex- pected to be fully disposed of within a day or two. Hangs in the Balance. A, J. Balfour, the government leader, made no statement in the House of Com- mons node: regarding the peace negotia- tions, but he announced a Cy es of the discussion of the budget fixed for this week, remarking that it would be very inconvenient to debate the budget “while there were other things in the balance.” *To gubscaeently explained that it would be impossible in discussing the budget to prevent references to the peace negotiations.

Michigan Growers Lack Help to Pick Great Crop of Frnit. St. Joseph, Mich., May 26.—Following the close of the berry season in the Southern district, the “hobo” berry pick- ers for several years have journeyed northward to the berry fields of Berrien county.

The birds, beasts and reptiles which disappeared from the vicinity of St. Pierre and Pelee prior to the eruption, owe their escape to a superior understanding of the language of nature. Grand juries operate conscientiously, sometimes. One in Toledo, Ohio, yesterday brought in indictments for bribery against a number of city officials and an agent of an electric railway and light company. Uncle Sam now has a good opportunity to break off negotiations for the Danish islands, which like all projections from the sea in the West Indies have fallen below par since the eruption on Martinique. The French engineer who after an examination declares that Mont Pelee will hereafter be harmlessly turbulent should not be disturbed if the remaining people of Martinique doubt the integrity of his judgment. Burnt children dread fire. The spring rains have filled the watercourses that have been dry for a long time, and also raised the levels of lakes and ponds. Altogether, the farmers of this section of Wisconsin have reason to feel satisfied with the outlook for the season. The scientists who told the people of St. Pierre that there was nothing to fear from Pelee were not the first of their kind to make a wrong diagnosis; and besides, they chipped in their lives toward the general penalty of over-confidence in the integrity of the volcano.

To those who were involved in its serpentine folds, the Texas tornado was as appalling as was the Martinique eruption to the victims thereof; and nobody in the "tornado belt" can be accused of recklessness in setting up his habitation under the very shadow of trouble, as the tornado is a vagrant aerial monster that springs up suddenly out of fair skies. TO STOP LYNCHINGS Resolution is Introduced in the Senate Asking for an Investigation. TO FIND REMEDY FOR THEM Spooner's Cuban Bill Compromise Provides Duty Can be Remitted When President Desires. WILL SATISFY BEET-SUGAR MEN. Washington, D. C., May 26.—Soon after the Senate convened today, Mr. Gallinger (N. H.) offered a resolution providing that the judiciary committee of the Senate should make an investigation into the subject of lynchings in the United States with a view of ascertaining whether there is any remedy for them. Mr. Gallinger said he introduced the resolution in full view of the fact that he might be charged with precipitating a sectional controversy, but nothing was further from his thoughts. Not Confined to the South. He said lynchings were not confined to the South. Horrible cases had occurred in the North, and white men as well as black had been the victims. Throughout the country intense interest was manifested in the subject. He thought it imperative that the judiciary committee should take some action upon the subject. During the past ten years 2658 lynchings had occurred in the United States. Of these 121 had occurred in the South and 14 in the North, the remainder in other parts of the country. If the strong arm of the law could reach out to prevent such occurrences he deemed it desirable that it do so. He had read the Associated Press account of the burning of a negro in Texas a few days ago. He said history did not furnish a more fiendish instance of mob wrath and Fox's Book of Martyrs was tame in comparison. Disgrace to American Manhood. The whole wretched business, he said, was a disgrace to American manhood and in the light of which the alleged atrocities in the Philippines paled into insignificance. The Spanish inquisition did not furnish a case exceeding that one in inhumanity. He apprehended that it would be said that the federal government was powerless and that the states had exclusive jurisdiction. If so the American people did not desire to know it. Public sentiment should be aroused to prevent such inhuman atrocities. Texas Senator Excited. had read an account of a lynching in had read an account of a lynching in Kansas, saying that he wanted it shown that the crime of lynching was confined to no state or section. He said he hoped the New Hampshire senator would not single out his state when he wanted to bring such cases before the Senate. After remarks by Mr. Hoar upon the constitutional feature of the case the resolution went over. Misrepresented by Censor. The Philippines bill was then taken and Mr. Patterson (Col.) made a speech in opposition to it. Mr. Patterson declared that after the capture of Manila "a censored press, deliberately guided by the powers in Washington, had misrepresented the situation in the Philippine Islands." * Spooner's Cuban Compromise. Senator Spooner's compromise proposition on Cuban reciprocity, which has found favor with many Republican senators, has not yet been committed to writing. It is known that it provides for a 20 per cent. reduction, but it is understood that the principal feature of the scheme is a provision that whenever the President shall find that any other persons than the Cuban producers are getting the benefit of the reduction, he can order remissions of duty. No person directly interested in the sugar refining industry in this country can get the benefit of the reduction. The President is to be authorized to make investigations to determien whether any such persons are getting the benefit of the duty. This compromise is expected to deprive the beet-sugar men of one of their strongest grounds for opposing the bill, which was that not the Cubans, but the sugar trust, will get the benefit of the reduction. It is said to be satisfactory to some of the beet-sugar senators, but whether it will be to all of them remains to be seen. From the beet-sugar standpoint it deprives the advocates of reciprocity of one of their strongest reasons for supporting the bill, for the beet-sugar men claim that it is the desire to benefit the sugar trust which inspires a great many pretended advocates of Cuban reciprocity. The Spooner amendment will do away with the Morris amendment, by which the differential on refined sugar was taken off, and to that extent it will injure the sugar trust. It will also have the effect of splitting the Democrats, for while the Democratic senators would unanimously support the bill as it came from the House, with the Morris amendment in it, there are many of them who would not consent to vote for such a bill as that proposed by Mr. Spooner. Did Not Violate Women. Capt. MacDonald, formerly of the Twenty-sixth Volunteer infantry, one of the officers accused in Corp. O'Brien's testimony was before the Philippine committee of the Senate today. He denied all of the allegations made by O'Brien and said O'Brien was on duty elsewhere at the times he claimed to have been present. McDonald said that American officers had not violated a Spanish woman or other women to his knowledge. Miss Andrews Reappointed. Representative Cooper has filed a recommendation for the reappointment of Elenora Andrews as postmistress at Evansville and Thomas W. Morfield as postmaster at Elkhorn. Miss Andrews was appointed by President McKinley four years ago and at the time the President requested that she be retained in office as long as he continued in office. Her record to date has been satisfactory and this caused Representative Cooper to again recommend her. Gen. Bragg Files Bond. Washington, D. C., May 26.—Gen. Edward S.

To the Members of the National Afro-American Council Delegates from Local Councils and Affiliated Organizations, such as Churches, Colleges, Benevolent Societies, Newspapers and Other Race Organizations: Greeting-The fifth annual session of the National Afro-American Council will be held in the state house, at St. Paul, Minn., July 9, 10 and 11, 1902. It is our earnest desire that every church, college, benevolent society and other race organization shall be represented. It is greatly desired that this annual meeting shall be the largest and most potent for good of any which the council has ever held. The condition of the race's affairs makes this consummation mandatory. Our main reason for meeting at St. Paul, Minn., is to create more enthusiasm in the work of the council in the West. We have just received notice from our chief counsel at Washington, D. C., A. A. Birney, Esq., who informs us that although subject to many delays and complications, arising from local and legal J. CYRUS FIELD ADAMS. General Secretary National Afro-American League. causes, the Louisiana test case is now in a fair way to reach final adjudication. There is urgent need for more money to carry on this legal contest, which we hope will be cheerfully contributed by the race. The many stirring questions of race interest which claim immediate attention should inspire every Afro-American church, college, benevolent society and other race organizations to send representatives accompanied by the annual tax of $5 to this great national gathering. We have every reason to believe that the meeting will be largely attended. BASIS OF MEMBERSHIP. (Article III. of Constitution.) Section 1.

Delegates can secure half rates by purchasing tickets to the National Educational Association which meets at Minneapolis (street car fare from Minneapolis to St. Paul is only 10 cents), July 7 to 11. The following extract from letter from Mr. Erwin Shepard, secretary of the N. E. A., gives the necessary information: E. A. gives the necessary information: The rate which has been made by all railroad lines in the United States for our association is one fare for the round trip, plus $2 membership fee in N. E. A. This membership fee is included in the purchase price of the ticket and is represented by a special membership coupon attached, to be exchanged at the registration office in Minneapolis for membership certificate. The certificate will bear a coupon entitling the holder to a volume of the proceedings of the Minneapolis convention sent by express prepaid in case request for the copy is made to this office before September 1. The N. E. A. has no objection to the members of the National Afro-American Council using railroad rate which has been granted to this association. It will be necessary for all railway tickets to be presented to be validated at the Minneapolis office of the general agent. ESPECIAL CAUTION Be careful to buy tickets to the National Educational Association at Minneapolis. Tickets will be on sale at all coupon railroad ticket offices in the United States three days before July 7. Let all the organizations above named elect their delegates as soon as possible and send their names to Cyrus Field Adams, secretary, 934 S. Street N. W., Washington, D. C. The citizens of St. Paul are preparing to entertain the council in first-class style and the trip promises to be a delightful one. (Signed) ALEXANDER WALTERS. President. T.

Beriah Wilkins, owner of the Washington Post, was formerly a representative in Congress from Ohio. He tells with great glee a story about his first campaign. When he was nominated he had never made a public speech. Soon after the convention a delegation came to him from a small town in his district and asked him to come out to a ratification meeting. Wilkins said he would, but cautioned the delegation against asking him to speak. They said that would be all right, as they had provided two professional spellbinders. All Wilkins would have to do, they said, would be to shake hands and kiss the babies. Wilkins went, was met by a brass band and escorted to the hall. Then, to his utter dismay, he found that the spellbinders had not arrived. The chairman insisted that Wilkins must say something. He stood up, was introduced and said everything he could think of. After he had been talking what seemed to him two hours but in reality was not more than fifteen minutes he gave out entirely and sat down. There was a dense silence. Not a person in the hall applauded. Then the chairman arose and said: "If there is anybody in the hall that can make a speech we will be glad to hear him."—New York World. Dolls Hair.

Roots may be obtained from any florist. The seed will readily germinate if a hole is filled or drilled through the hard shell that moisture may penetrate the kernel, otherwise they will lie dormant almost indefinitely. It is perfectly hardy and comes to perfection when planted in shallow water with rich mud and full exposure to the sun—simply naturalized in the save environments that suit our native water lily. Artificial ponds or cement basins are often made for the accommodation of this and other water lilies. Such tanks should be two to four feet deep, and of any size and outline desired. Twelve by twenty feet is a nice size for the amateur. It is best to plant the lilies in boxes, say three feet square and one foot deep, filled with good rich soil and sunk in the tank. The lotus submits gracefully to cultivation in tubs. Ordinary half-barrels will do for tubs. Fill them two-thirds full of rich garden soil, in which plant the roots (I prefer roots to seed), then fill tubs full of water and set in a warm, sunny place. In winter remove the tubs with their contents to a cellar. A beautiful aquatic garden may be had by arranging several tubs of lotus and nymphaea into a mound or circle and filling the spaces between them with ferns, arrowheads and other moisture-loving plants.—Home and Flowers. Jarring His Memory. A married lady living out at Lakeside has been having the greatest difficulty of late in inducing her husband to remember to order certain things for the household while down town. Every day there was something forgotten, and the meals were growing more scanty as a result. A few days ago she handed her husband a letter as he made a run for his car, saying that it was not be opened until the afternoon. He remembered it just as he finished his luncheon that day, and, opening it, read: "I am forced to tell you something that I know will trouble you, but have thought of it for some time. I feel that it is my duty to do so. My mother has been taken into the secret, and she, too, John, declares that it is best that you should know. I cannot keep this to myself any longer." Hubbie's face grew ashen and his hair was taking an upright position when he turned over the page and read: "We have not a pound of butter in the house. Send me some this afternoon." The request was complied with.—Duluth News-Tribune.

FARMS AND Milking by Machinery. One of the greatest and most laborious tasks on the farm is milking. Many persons have addressed themselves to the problem of performing this work by mechanical means, but thus far no machine for the purpose has come generally into use. A late device is exhibited in the accompanying cut from the Scientific American. It comprises a can provided with an air-pump by which the air in the can may be exhausted to a certain degree of rarefication, as indicated by the vacuum-gauge at the top of the can. A flexible tube is connected at one end with the can and at the other end with the udder of the cow by means of four teat MILK A MILKING MACHINE. cups. As soon as a sufficient portion of the air has been exhausted from the can the teats are placed in the cups and the stop cocks opened, which causes the teats to be drawn inward, making an air-tight joint. The suction then draws the milk through the hose into the can. A pneumatic ring in each cup prevents injury to the cow and an outer adjustable cylinder prevents the teat from being drawn in too far. The lower portion of each cup is glass, which permits the operator to watch the proper working of the device. The pump and gauge are arranged to be easily applied to any milk-can. Wire Fence Stretcher. A correspondent of the Iowa Home- stead writes: "To make a fence stretcher take a wagon wheel for a frame, nail your 2x8's far enough apart to admit wagon hub in between, as shown in the illustration, on both sides. Now bore holes through the 2x8's one inch from the front edge large enough to pass FENCE STRETCHER." FENCE STRETCHER. through a piece of tumbling rod. Put your wheel through uprights and slip the bolt through and place the frame in line with corner post, sink your wheel until the hub will be in line with the center of patent fence and so the wheel will revolve. Clamp on the fence, pass log chain around spoke back to clamp and hook ends together. Put a brace from the top of corner post to top of frame. When ready to stretch use your wheel as lever and pull downward and have a piece of 2x4 ready to lock the wheel, which will be placed in between the frame and top of spoke. It will be found equal to a four-ton stretcher." Good White Leghorn. The White Leghorn pullet shown in the cut has scored 95 and 96 at various poultry shows and is owned by a Pennsylvania man. Rural New - Yorker prints the picture as a good likeness of a business Leghorn and quotes the owner as follows: "White Leghorns are among the best of poultry for broilers, as they grow fast and mature ear. WHITE LEGHORN. WHITE LEGHORN. ly and have white, tender meat. As for eggs, they are acknowledged by all to be the heaviest layers of any breed of chickens known. They lay large, white eggs and lots of them, and with a little care in cold weather can be made to produce a large quautity of high-priced eggs." Don't Waste Corn Fodder. Don't Waste Corn Fodder. In view of the fact that the annual crop of corn will yield some 60,000,000 to 80,000,000 tons of corn stover, all of which may be utilized, the American farmer can, if he is thrifty, save one-third of the feeding value of his crop. From this the farmer will learn the lesson that he cannot afford to waste one hill of his corn fodder. It should all be cut and shredded and fed the next summer to save his pastures for the dry fall weather which so often impairs them. With a barn or shed full of shredded fodder the stock can be kept growing all the time and will be in good condition for the feed lot or to enter the next winter. Exercise Wisdom. Every breed has individualities peculiar to itself. These show themselves in ability to assimilate food, susceptibility to changes of climate and weather and general surroundings. He is a wise man who recognizes this fact and pursues his investigations steadily until he arrives at a conclusion as to the breed most nearly suited to his conditions and then sticks doggedly to his conclusions regardless of men who have other pet notions of their own. Raising a Balanced Ration. It is now generally understood that the great need in the ration of cows is protein and because it is expensive when one has to buy grain containing it, the cows do not have the grains to make the balanced ration. Of late years experimenters have urged farmers to grow the crops that would give the balanced ration and have shown that it may be obtained by the growing of what are known as forage crops so that one becomes practically independent of cotton seed meal and other concentrated feed. Cow pea hay and silage will take the place of bran largely, in the ration, but a far better combination to grow is alfalfa, although with silage, cow peas and corn meal one may meet the need for protein until the time when alfalfa is fit to cut. The soy bean should also have a place on every farm where it can be grown to advantage. It is of the same nature as the cow pea but on some farms gives better results hence should have a space in that experiment plot referred to some weeks since. This question of growing the feed that may be given to the stock to the best advantage is one that should have the attention of every farmer and dairyman. Poultry Pointers. Never feed the poultry near the dwelling or throw out scraps of any kind to attract them near the house. One of the secrets of success with poultry is not to keep any unprofitable birds; sell them as soon as possible. As long as a really good hen is not too old to lay eggs, she is not too old to keep. Forty hens can no more eat from one plant than forty people. Broadcast the grain and provide long troughs for feeding soft food. Buckwheat straw is very good for scratching material. The roosts should be low, especially for the heavy breeds. Keep the lice off your fowls and they will keep healthy. Feed plenty of meat scraps if you want to get lots of eggs. Keep plenty of fresh water where your fowls can get it. A pale yolk is not an indication of poor qaulity in an egg. Beware of drafts at night and you will prevent much sickness. If you can secure milk to mix with you mash it will be profitable. Suggestion for Apple Growers. Any apple grower within reasonable distance of a large city will find it profitable to sort his fruit carefully and make up small packages of the finest. It makes little difference in what form the package is, although it should, so far as possible, conform to the shapes familiar in the city where the fruit is to be sold. Small baskets holding a half peck of fine fruit will bring the grower much more money than half again the quantity carelessly selected and packed in an ordinary basket. The second grade of fruit, or rather the best grade after the finest specimens are taken out, may be put up in larger packages for market. By the use of the selected fruit and the small package the high-class trade is reached and the grower puts into his pocket the profit that usually gets into the pocket of the middleman. Cabbage Growing. Cabbages always do best on a freshly turned sod and should be set before the land has had time to dry after plowing. The secret of success in getting a large yield of cabbage is to start with rich land and put in all the manure obtainable. Clean out the hogyard for this purpose.—Exchange. To Secure Good Calves. Warm, sweet milk, fed in clean buckets, with access to cornmeal or Kaffir corn meal, bright hay, fresh, clean water, salt, plenty of sunlight, shelter and bedding in cold weather, shade in summer and regularity and kindness in treatment will usually insure good, thrifty calves that will gain from a pound and a half to two pounds daily. Kansas Experiment Station. Keep Poultry Houses Dry. A prime requisite is to keep the poultry house dry. As fresh air leads in this direction, it goes without saying that plenty of fresh air should be circulating all the time. If the houses are dry, that dreaded disease, roup, is not apt to get a foothold. The houses should be thoroughly aired every day, rain, hail or shine. Dainty Sandwiches. The chef of one of the best cuisines makes ham sandwiches in the following way, which is particularly recommended for the summer picnic hamper. Finely minced ham, butter and dry mustard are put together in the proportion of a heaping tablespoonful of mustard to a cupful of the ham; warm the mixture, then press in a clean bread-pan, and, when cold, slice very thin and put between wafer slices of bread. This obviates the necessity of buttering the bread, and the pressed form of the ham and seasoning gives a much neater appearance to the sandwich, particularly for picnic packing.

McClaughry, Warden of State Prison, Resigns. Claims He Has Not Received Proper Support from the Board of Control. Madison, Wis., May 28.—[Special.]— Warden C. C. McClaughry of the state prison at Waupun has tendered his resignation to the state board of control and it has been unanimously accepted. The prison has been put in charge of A. G. Nelson of Waupaca, a member of the board, who will act as warden until the position is filled. McClaughry's Reasons. Warden McClaughry's reasons for resigning are given in the following written resignation, which is dated at Waupun and which he filed with the board: Waupun, Wis., May 26, 1902—State Board of, Control, Madison, Wis.-Gentlemen: After nearly three years of painstaking and patient effort to give to the state of Wisconsin a creditable prison service I hereby resign the office of warden of the Wisconsin state prison, to which your honorable board appointed me in May, 1890, and in so doing respectfully decline the reappointment for the coming year so kindly assured me by three members of your board at a recent meeting here. I would ask that my resignation be accepted to take effect at once. My reasons for taking this step are as follows: 1. The spirit of exultation, approaching insubordination, has been aroused in certain under officers and convicts by the successful termination, through the peremptory discharge of my recent deputy, of a secret campaign waged against him, and incidentally against me, by the said officers and convicts, alided by malicious and meddlesome persons in this community, including officers and guards discharged for cause. 2. The publication of reports apparently emanating from Madison containing the assertion that my deputy had been discharged by the board for cruel and inhuman treatment of prisoners, which reports have been allowed to stand before the public and blacken my reputation as well as his, and in the manner of their publication allow no opportunity of refutation. 3. The recent action by your board in its order of April 16, taking from me the power to even nominate my deputy, abridging and emasculating my authority in the eyes of officers and convicts, and producing a condition which no prison warden who has any reputation for ability in this work as a profession would accept for any consideration in dollars and cents. It has long been a vital principle in proper prison service that the deputy warden, or assistant superintendent, should be in perfect harmony with the warden or superintendent, should faithfully and loyally serve and represent him, should he his appointee, and should be so recognized by every officer and convict over whom it is his duty to exercise control. He should not owe his position to those he is expected to command nor retain his office at their pleasure. A deputy concerning whom the feeling exists, either with himself or with others, that he is independent of the warden's authority, or that the acquisition or retention of his place has been the result of machinations against or resistance to the warden, is practically powerless or useless in obtaining for the warden proper respect and subordination among keepers, guards and convicts. The keeping up of desirable efficiency in a prison force is one of the most serious problems which a warden or superintendent is called upon to face and the loyal and thorough aid of his deputy is an absolute necessity. On the deputy devolves a share of the duty of investigation of the personal habits and associations of guards and keepers and sometimes the detection of vices and crimes, the correction of errors and lapses in duty, and all this with the risk of incurring the enmity of those affected, especially if the duty is faithfully and thoroughly done and with the best interests of the service at heart. If, instead of rendering such service, a deputy should, because of his independence of the warden or his fear of becoming unpopular with those under him who "have friends at court," endeavor to build up a following by screening subordinates guilty of such misdemeanors, errors and lapses, the presence of the most capable warden would be of little avail in obtaining good service, for all would then be arrayed against him. Evidences that my standing has been lowered in the eyes of officers and convicts are not wanting, and I am regarded as having suffered a defeat. Therefore with some regret for the necessities which compel the step, I hereby sever my connection with the service of the state of Wisconsin and ask that you relieve me at once from a situation which only becomes more humiliating and galling every day. Very respectfully, C. C. M'CLAUGHR, Warden. A Man of Much Experience. Mr. McClaughry is 39 years old. He is a son of Maj. R. W. McClaughry, a noted warden, who is now in charge of the big United States penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kas. McClaughry, Sr., was warden of the Illinois state prison at Joliet from 1874 to 1888, and of the Pennsylvania industrial reformatory at Huntington, Pa., from 1888 to 1891, when he was appointed chief of police of Chicago, a position he held during the World's fair and until September, 1893. From Chicago he went to the Illinois state reformatory at Pontiac, where he remained until 1897, when he was induced to again go back to Joliet, where he remained until 1899, since which time he has been at the Leavenworth prison. From this it will be seen that Warden McClaughry, Jr., has been raised in prison work. He spent his boyhood in the Joliet prison, and later went to school at Galesburg, Ill., graduating from Knox College there in 1885. He learned the machinist and engineering trade, and from 1889 to 1892 served as chief engineer of Joliet prison. In 1892 he accepted the position of deputy superintendent of the Alleghany county workhouse, a prison with from 700 to 800 inmates, at Claremont, Pa. After serving in that position fifteen months Mr. McClaughry accepted the office of deputy warden of the Chicago house of correction, an institution with from 900 to 1300 inmates, and 10,000 commitments annually. He held this place from January 18, 1894, till Harrison's election as mayor in August of 1897, when he resigned and went as deputy warden to the Indiana state prison at Michigan City. He threw up the latter position July 1, 1899, to accept the wardenship of the Wisconsin prison. Mr. McClaughry is married. ARE EXPERT MARKSMEN. Members of Neenah Company Expect to Win Prizes.

Every physician in Kaukauna has been called in consultation, also Qrs. Levings and Earls of Milwaukee and Minahan of Green Bay. Their united opinions all point to the same cause, which is thought to be hemorrhage of the brain, and that his chances are slight for recovery. His brothers, J. G. Mayers of Dennison, Ia., and Con Mayer of Hudson, Wis., arrived here yesterday. Mr. Mayer has been a close student and was studying for an eye and ear specialist when stricken. THREE BRAKEMEN HURT.

Twenty Thousand Dollars Has Be Subscribed of Which Students Donated $4000. Madison, Wis., May 28.—A large mass meeting was held at the University of Wisconsin gymnasium last evening for the purpose of arousing interest in the proposed project of building a large club house and Y. M. C. A. building. That the student body is in favor of the plan can be judged by the fact that over 1000 gathered and in less than ten minutes the sum of $4092 had been subscribed. This in connection with the $16,000 subscribed by Milwaukee business men will almost be sufficient to begin work on the building. The large donors from Milwaukee are: Charles F. Pfister, $5000; E. P. Bacon, $2500; Lindsay Brothers, $2500; Fred Vogel, Jr. $1000. It is planned to erect a $75,000 structure and subscriptions are being asked for in all parts of the state. Chief Justice J. B.

Mr. Boschert Has Exciting Experience While Acting as President of the Street Railway. La.Crosse, Wis., May 27.—[Special.] Mayor Joseph Boschert, who is president of the La Crosse & Eastern Electric Railway Company, was attacked by a dozen women last evening while on a south side street where surveyors are at work laying out the proposed road. Property owners on that street sent remonstrations to the council against allowing the road on that thoroughfare, on the grounds that the Burlington road already has two tracks which, with the electric road, would occupy the entire street. Mr. Boschert was not injured seriously, as fists were the only weapons displayed. The surveyors kept on with their work, but the mayor left, after which disturbance quieted. PAVILION DAMAGED. Building of Bethesda Spring Park at Waukesha is Almost Destroyed by Fire. Waukesha, Wis., May 27.—[Special.] —Shortly after 9 o'clock last evening fire broke out in the pleasure pavilion at Bethesda Spring park and before it could be gotten under control damage had been done to the amount of nearly $2000. The blaze started from the heating apparatus which was being tested during the day and in which a small fire had been left in preparation for heating the water for cleaning purposes tomorrow. The boiler is situated in the north wing and when the fire department arrived on the scene this was wrapped in a mass of flames and no part of it could be saved. The streams were directed at the junction of the wing and the main part of the structure and the firemen prevented the conflagration from proceeding more than a few feet past this point. They had considerable trouble with the excessive smoke and several of the men had narrow escapes from being overcome by it. The fire was gotten under control by 10 o'clock, but it was nearly two hours after this before it was deemed safe to leave the building and reel up the hose. The structure which was so nearly destroyed is a wooden building about seventy-five feet long, half of that distance in width and has two wings. It was originally erected as the bottling works of the Bethesda Spring Company, but when the new plant was built about twelve years ago, it was moved from the old site 200 feet east of its present location, and substantial additions and improvements were made on it, including the construction of a tower, four stories in height. The west end of the building is devoted, in the summer time, to bathing, and attendants are in charge of medicated baths. This portion of the structure was not badly injured. In the wing which was destroyed was the candy stand, pool and billiard room, restaurant, boiler room and band stand. The value of the entire building is estimated at about $5500 and the loss will be covered by the insurance. Senator A. M. Jones, president of the Bethesda company, and his son, A. W. Jones, who is the secretary, stated last night that as soon as an adjustment of the loss could be made by the representatives of the insurance company, work on the reconstruction of the building would be commenced immediately in order to have it ready early in the summer resort season. There was very little furniture in the building and the benches, boats and other things stored there during the winter had been removed but a few days ago, so there was little loss outside of the structure itself. Some very fine shade trees near it were badly scorched by the tremendous heat, and the beautiful park lawn will have to be fixed up again on account of the trampling of the great crowd attracted by the fire. LEVEL GREATLY RAISED Lake Winnebago is Higher and Fox River is Overflowing Its Appleton, Wis., May 27.—[Special.]—Owing to the recent copious rains in this vicinity the level in Lake Winnebago has been materially raised and the Fox river at this point has seldom been as high as is at present the case. An immense new tail race is being built along the water power in this city and the water Sunday raised to a level above the cofferdam which was constructed for the purpose of keeping out the flow of the river from the excavation. The tail race is now filled with over fifty feet of water and work had to be abandoned and cannot be resumed for a period of at least three weeks. The mill men along the water power are now using the full first flow for power purposes and the prospects are that no steam power will need to be used during the coming season. A considerable amount of water is being let through the sluice gates and locks which cannot be used for power purposes. MANY NEW RURAL ROUTES. Are to be Established in Outagamie County in Near Future. Appleton, Wis., May 27.—[Special.]—A letter was today received by Postmaster Barteau from Henry C. Payne, postmaster general, announcing that the new rural mail system for Outagamie county had been decided upon and that an inspector would arrive within the next few days to look over and lay out the additional routes. Dane county is the only county in the state where the new system has been secured, and even there it is not yet complete. There are at present fourteen rural routes emanating from this city and after the new system has been inaugurated there will be at least fourteen additional ones. It is intended that a mile route will be established on every road in the county and that no farmer will need to go over one-half mile to procure his mail. Those living away from a mail route will be permitted to have a mail box on one of the routes convenient to his farm, where his mail will be delivered daily. MILWAUKEEAN CAUSES ALARM Displayed Big Revolver-Drove Racine Residents Into Their Homes. Racine, Wis., May 27.—A man giving the name of Dr. Wylie and residence as Milwaukee, caused much alarm among south sides residents yesterday. He would enter yards carrying a dog under one arm and a 44-caliber Colt's revolver a foot and a half long under the other. People fearing that he intended to kill the dog in their yards protested, when he ordered them to their homes at the point of the revolver. The police were notified, but were unable to find Wylie. HEADACHE, BACKACHE, DIZZINESS (PE-RU-NA CURES PELVIC CATARRH.) --- 1 "I am perfectly well," says Mrs. Martin, of Brooklyn. "Pe-ru-na cured me." Mrs. Anna Martin, 47 Hoyt street, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "Peruna did so much for me that I feel it my duty to recommend it to others who may be similarly afflicted. About a year ago my health was completely broken down, had backache, dizziness and irregularities, and life seemed dark indeed. We had used Peruna in our home as a tonic and for colds and catarrh, and I decided to try it for my trouble. In less than three months I became regular, my pains had entirely disappeared, and I am now perfectly well."—Mrs. Anna Martin. Miss Marie Johnson, 11 Columbia, East, Detroit, Mich., is Worthy Vice-Templar in Hope Lodge, No. 6, Independent Order of Good Templars. Miss Johnson, as so many other women also have done, found in Peruna a specific for a severe case of female weakness. She writes: "I want to do what I can to let the whole world know what a grand medicine Peruna is. For eleven years I suffered with female troubles and complications arising therefrom. Doctors failed to cure me, and I despaired of being helped. Peruna cured me in three short months. I can hardly believe it myself, but it is a blessed fact. I am perfectly well now, and have not had an ache or pain for months. I want my suffering sisters to know what Peruna has done for me."—Miss Marie Johnson. Miss Ruth Emerson, 72 Sycamore st., Buffalo, N. Y., writes: "I suffered for two years with irregular and painful menstruation, and Peruna cured me within six weeks. I cannot tell you how grateful I feel. Any agency which brings health and strength to the af- Prevented by Shampoo and light dressings of emollient skin cures.

No doubt, in- human I will punish the men that are settled on their lees, that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil.—Zephaniah, 1:12. There are, two distinct types of the “don’t care” spirit, radicaily opposed. There is the “don’t care” of unswerv- ing conviction, and there is the “don’t care” of no conviction at all, ‘The first type incarnates itself in the mora! reformer, in the great leader who creates "2 new epoch of progress and gives new tongue to the voice of truth, Such surely was Luther. It was a snb- lime defiance of consequences that throb- bed in the memorable words of Wornts, when, before the assembled powers of chureh and state, Luther flung down the gauntlet of truth and exclaimed: “Here stand I, so help me God; I cannot other- wise.” Such was the spirit of Washington, in the dark days of the revolutionary strus- gle, when he was teaching the young re- public that declaring independence was one thing and fighting for it quite an- other. It was the same dauntless disre- gard of personal interest that gripped men’s courage and rallied their fleeting hoves, But very different is the other type of the “don't-eare” spirit. This marks the man of no particular beliefs. It is the note of chronic indifference toward the larger interests of life. For such a man opinion masquerades in the garments of conviction, so that, though he may ‘ave opinions on everything under heaven, conviction he has on none, His days are passed in the slumberous routine of a stagnant conscience. Life for him is a loafing place in the suburbs of listless re- spectability. The busy movements of the ‘larger life. the call to reform, the appeal for honesty in the interest of good citi- zenship, the urgency of unsolved prob- lems in moral and social conditions, alike fail to arouse the man who has pinned his life to the sleepy creed of “don't care.” Such is the type of character outlined in a few telling strokes by the prophet. Our text is a vivid piece of. satirical por- traiture. It sets forth the character or the creed of the “don't-care” spirit, as it finds too frequent expression in multi- tudes of men and women to-day. You notice the figure under which the prophet pictures this type of soul, those who are “settled upon their lees.” The image is taken from the wine vat during the pro- cess of fermentation. When the juice had been strained from the fruit, it was usual to let it lie upon the pulp or lees for a brief period, the object being to give added strength and body to the wines But the difficulty was to keep the juice from settling on the lees, the result being that the wine became harsh and rancid in taste and smell. Bad wine was that which had been allowed to settle on its lees instead of being poured off into fresh vessels. So in Hebrew thought, to “settle upon one’s lees” became a proverb in describ- ing the character of a man, who, through laziness or indifference, had become stag- nant in purpose and muddy in thought. Naturally, by inheritance or endowment, the wine of such a character may be rich and generous, but through the processes of ignoble ease and intellectual torpor it has become rancid and useless. It is in- capable of adding to the good things of life. It is an exaggeration to say that we touch here a type of character peculiarly common in modern life? To settle on one’s lees is of necessity the peril of a luxurious and pleasure-seeking age. It is peculiarly the danger of these days through which we are passing. ‘The greatest menace to American life to-day springs not from the fermenting eorrup- tion of socialism or anarchy, but from the torpid indifference of selfish respec- tability. “The great causes of God and humanity,” says a modern writer, “are not defeated by the hot assaults of the devil, but by the slow, crushing, glacier- like mass of indifferent nobodies.” God’s causes are never destroyed by being blown up, but by being sat upon. It is this apathetic temper that is the real cita- del which every great reform movement must in the last event capture to attain permanent victory. It is the inert citi- zenship settled down upon the lees of its selfish pleasure, that is the real problem of clean government, and not the fer- menting masses of population in the seething tenement districts. Here, I repeat, is the vital menace to American life. How are you to awake to a practical sense of publie duty and Christian citizenship the sleepy multi- tudes who by every selfish act of life subscribe to the creed of “don’t care.” It is the arousing of this well-to-do, self- satisfied, eminently respectable but crim- inally indifferent body of the “don’t care” constituency that demands the coming of a new prophet of reform, Look now at the religious side of this kind of man. He is not an atheist. He is not only respectable, in a sense at least he can claim to be religious, He has his spiritual as well as his social ereed. And that religious creed the prophet describes thus: “They say in their hearts, ‘fhe Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil.’” The god such men worship is the idol of their own in- difference. The Deity for them is an ab- sent landlord in his universe. Having created the world, he is careless of its interests and indifferent to its destiny. “Why should the Omnipotent being trou- ble himself with the petty interests of a world that is like a mote in the sunshine of eternity?’ So in effect, or as the pro- phet puts it, “in their hearts,” multi- tudes of men are speaking to-day. They lieneetna thet thaw slarife Gad tw denv- he is simply an infinite force, divested of emotion, incaable of love, and indiite™ ent to the necessities of his creatures, then what are some of the necessary doc- trines which such a creed involves? Think of what such a creed involves in the matter of service. Where is the inspiration for unselfish effort if God be blotted out of the universe as indifferent ‘to‘its:progress? No doubt in humanity itself, in the call which comes to the nn- selfish heart from the crying needs of the age around us, there is a spur to noble effort, But, after all, the men who most profoundly have brought the mightiest effort to the service of the world have be en thoseyin whose hearts the presence ‘of God has been an abiding and funda- ‘mental fact. It is because God is not indifferent. because through human effort he sends the electric thrill of his own power, that the truest service finds its inspiration. And then what shall we say of such a creed in the hour of sorrow? If God does not care, is there anything more awful in its loneliness to the bumar heart than the thought that the great Ruler of the universe is indifferent to the sorrows which break our heurts? Who of us at such a moment has not known the peace, deep as the soundless sea, that comes frota the consciousnes: that God does care for us and that love is the hand which dispenses our deepest sorrow? Now, what is the result of such a ereed in our thought? This really is the message of the propbet. He speaks words to the men of Jerusalem in his time who were nursing their lives in selfish indifference on such a creed in order to warn them of its fatal issues. “Behold,” he says, “it shall come to pass, saith the Lord, that I will search Jeru- salem with candles and punish the men that say in their hearts, “The Lord will not do good, neither will he do eyvil.’” God is not indifferent, and upon those who east such a charge upon his infinite love he pronounces the judgment of doom, Is it not thus that we are to ex- plain the judgments, the catastrophes, the sorrows that from time to time sweep over national and individual tite? What is the meaning of such events, in- explicable as they often appear, but the declaration of God himself that he is in his world to control its destiny? These dark events which suddenly thrust themselves across the sunlit path of our prosperous ease call us to recog- nize anew the divine presence which works through all our lives. It is in such hours of national gloom or personal grief that the soul realizes the hollowness of any creed but that which enshrines God as the father of his children, on whom we may at all times cast our care, “For he careth for us.” TIGHTEN THE BUCKLES. By Rev. Theodore L. Curler. | It is related that a cavalry officer, with a small number of followers, was pur- sued by an enemy who were in large force. He discovered that his saddle- girth was becoming loose; his comrades were urging him on to greater speed; but he dismounted, tightened the loose buckle, and then rode on, amid the shouts of his companions. The broken buckle would have cost him his safety—perhaps his life. His wise delay insured his safe- ty, and sent him out of the reach of his pursuing enemies, This incident suggests several spiritual lessons. A very obvious one is that the Christian who is in such haste to rush off to his business in the morning that he does not spare any time for his Bible or for prayer, is quite likely to “ride for a fall” before sundown. One of the most eminent Christian merchants of New York told me that he never met his fam- ily at the breakfast table until he had had a refreshing interview with his God over his Bible and on his knees. His family worship afterwards was not only a tightening the buckle himself, but was a gracious means of safety to his house- hold. One of the greatest dangers in ‘these days is that too many children are growing up—even in nominally Christian families—with sadly lax sentiments in many vital directions, They have loose views about God’s day and God’s Book, and very loose practices as to attendance upon God’s worship. They start out in life with a broken buckle, and when the stress of temptation comes, they are easily thrown to the ground. Fathers and mothers owe to their children as well as to themselves the duty of tightening the saddle girth. Not only do many families suffer from laxity in parental government, and godly parental training, but I fear that some congregations suffer from laxity in the teachings of their ministers. No church is very likely to rise higher than its own pulpit. If the shepherd of the flock holds loose doctrines; if he is so “liberal” that he gives away, or throws away, vital truths; if he lets down too many bars that the Bible wisely puts up, then it is no wonder that the flock wanders off into the ways of worldliness. There is no danger in these days of excessive strict- ness, or of “puritanical” prineiples or practices. The danger is just from the opposite direction. Would it not be a wise thing if some pastors, who see that their churches are being overtaken and demoralized by worldly temptations, should call a halt, and tighten their buckles? . The incident at the head of this brief article has a very close application to the maintenance of a vigorous, happy and useful Christian life. The very word “re- ligion” is derived from a Latin word that signifies “to bind fast.” True religion means the being bound fast to the Lord Jesus Christ in constant dependence on him and obedience to him. It is the very opposite of loose thinking and loose living. How to keep up a healthy spir- itual life is the daily problem with every Christian. The parable of the buckle gives a hint. True piety is never self- sustaining. We only can “do all things through Christ that strengtheneth us.” Without him nothing; with him every- thing. Therefore it is that our Bible exhorts us with prodigious emphasis to “pray without ceasing.” When we re- lax in this vitally important duty, the enemies will soon overtake us, and over- match us, and leave us in the dust, Breth- ren and sisters, tighten the prayer- buckle, MEALS AT ALL HOURS.

Apart from the large part that the egg plays in cookery, it has several other used. For instance, in the case of a burnt hand, a little white of egg applied at once to the burn so as to form a skim over it and thus to ex- clude the air will prove a valuable remedy. Again, the white of egg beaten to a stiff froth with two table- spoonfuls of rose-water will be found to make an excellent and soothing lo- tion for inflamed eyelids. Apply it with a soft rag, leave it till it gets dry, renew it and apply again. More- over, the skin of a boiled egg, when moistened, will prove an efficient poul- tice for a boil. Eggshells crushel in water are useful for cleaning decant- ers, and whites of eggs beaten up with soda make a good renovator for gilt picture-frames—tirst remove all dust from the frames, then rub them over with a soft brush dipped in the egg and soda mixture. na eae a a 3 — * ‘ ee ee ee bs en te <a # Sa fae E ee 4 : Si Aa Oe 2 ee ea Phi Y iB biod geek 2) ee S.
