State Historical Society WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE KRUS KRUS JOSEPH G. END. (Candidate for State Treasurership.) It shows how very hard-pushed the Stalwarts were in Sheboygan county, when they had to go to the extreme measure of villifying a man in his business transactions. We refer to an evidently inspired article, which appeared in the Sheboygan Telegraph of June 7, accusing Mr. Joseph G. End, candidate for the state treasurership of having violated the state law, and of having been fined in the municipal court for such contravention. The article in question ends up with the statement, "This is the record of Joseph G. End on pure food, what will be his record in handling the people's money?" All the writer can say in regard to such a very puerile accusation, is, that if such a transaction is all that can be placed to Mr. End's discredit (when it is not even shown that he was the direct party in the transaction), surely he can say now and say with pride, "Those that live in glass houses should never throw stones." The best criterion of a man's honesty and RACE GLEANINGS. RACE GLEANINGS. It is in the power of the preachers and teachers to rouse their people to a sense of their great deficiencies and make them realize that they lag in every field not because the white people oppress them, but because they have not learned how to be healthfully dissatisfied with their condition—not with their work nor necessarily with their wages, but with the poor quality and grudging quantity of their work and the poor use they make of their earnings. Perhaps if the preachers will undo some of their fatalistic teachings and let it be understood that the Negroes are not the peculiar wards of the Almighty and the Republican party, but must work out their own salvation here and hereafter it would advance the reform.—Columbia (S. C.) Daily State. Every Negroe business man and woman will find it a profitable investment of time and money to spend a week or more each year away from their business, securing rest and recreation, and at the same time coming in contact with others who are engaged in business. It is a rare opportunity to get new and valuable ideas.-The Reformer, Richmond. We have made astonishing financial progress since our emancipation. In 1863 we possessed nothing; today our personal and real estate is valued at more than $700,000,000. We have bankers, merchants of all classes and a large number of planters. Homes, 175,000; farms, 150,000; school property, $12,-000,000; church property, $37,000,000. Our intellectual progress has been greater than our financial growth. The negro has shown himself to be the equal of any other race in intellectual possibilities. This is evidenced by the high honors taken by the Afro-Americans from the wealthiest and most influential institutions of learning in this country. We have proof of my statement in the person of Roscoe Conkling Bruce, who a short time ago won signal honors from Harvard, the most famous educational institution in America. Within the last thirty years we have been able to eliminate nearly 50 per cent. of our illiteracy. We have 1,500,000 children in the public schools and 40,000 students in the higher institutions; students learning trades. 20,000; teachers. 30,000. There are 250,000 volumes in VOLUME IV. worth is that of the opinion of the men with whom he is in daily association, business and otherwise, and that this has been overwhelmingly displayed in Mr. End's favor is proven by the fact that he carried everything before him in his own county; that in one ward of his own city, which ward was supposed to be a Stalwart stronghold, a prominent business man and presumably without reproach, received but two votes against 99 recorded in favor of Mr. Joseph End, the dishonest butter dealer! Are we to think that the 99 are the lost sheep. We have too much faith in Sheboygan Republicans to entertain the thought. Again in the First ward—Mr. End's home ward, he won out at the caucus by 3 to 1. As before this is his home endorsement and despite all the school boy tactics, which have been used against him, he will we believe, receive that endorsement at the hands of the delegates at the state convention, which his probity and honor deserves. negro libraries; 156 institutions for higher education; 500 physicians; 250 lawyers; 1200 books written by Negroes, and 400 newspapers under our management. We consider this a creditable showing for thirty-eight years of freedom. Bishop Walters at Indianapolis. The fundamental industry of agriculture will enable us to lay the foundation upon which will grow wealth, habits of thrift, economy and will enable us in the end to give our children the best education and development. No race can be lifted until its mind is awakened and strengthened. By the side of industrial training should always go mental training. But the mere pushing of abstract knowledge into the head means little. We want more than the mere performance of mental gymnastics. Our knowledge must be harnessed to the things of real life. To the graduates I would say: Make yourselves useful by doing common things in an uncommon way; make your services indispensable, no matter what the calling; try to do things better than anyone else.—Booker T. Washington at Baltimore high school commencement. To Our Southern and Eastern Friends Delegates and others who intend visiting St. Paul during the approaching Council should, when buying their tickets, ask to be taken north from Chicago over the Wisconsin Central railway. This company has always acted in a much more friendly manner to the members of the race than the other two companies which run through the state of Wisconsin. Will our Southern and Eastern exchanges kindly notice this fact in their next issues? The editor was pleased to visit Miss Mary Sims, who was lately placed in a desirable position through this paper. Miss Sims is comfortable and happy, and says that there is room for plenty more Southern girls in Sheboygan, and at good wages, where the treatment accorded is al lthat could be desired. The American shoe for men is far superior in appearance and comfort to the French article, which is hard and boxy. The American shoe for women is an improvement on the English article, which is provocative of corns. EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS. The salutatory announcement of the new proprietor and editor of the Chicago Conservator breathes the right spirit. In commenting upon the past policy of the paper he remarks that "its energy has been inspiring, its courage undaunted, and its loyalty to race and country absolutely beyond question," and he having had a hand in shaping that policy, now takes the helm in response to calls to duty "with the comforting assurance that the most humble effort in a worthy cause cannot wholly fail." If Mr. F. W. Rollins will carry out the high ideals with which he has commenced, there is no doubt of the ultimate success of his management. Some time ago we had occasion to call attention to the misfortune (?) which recently befell the Harriet Beecher Stowe Institute, Danville, Ill., by the building being struck by lightning. Since the publication of that item a gentleman has called at our office and informs us that the bolt would not have been a second Mt. Pelee disaster, as he found on a visitation there that only one child was being educated (?) in the institute, and the principal was, as usual, in Wisconsin soliciting funds for the support of his establishment. *** There is now an opportunity for the Negroes of Wisconsin to show of what stuff they are made. This opportunity is presented in the forthcoming Middle States and Mississippi Valley exposition, which is to be held in the First Regiment armory, Chicago, Ill., from August 14 to September 14 inclusive. The object is one which must appeal to all who have the best interests of the race at heart. Once let a member of any community, to whatever race he belongs, show through his industrial genius that he has progressed by equal steps with his fellow men, he will then demand that same recognition. And we cannot believe that the Negroes of Wisconsin will fall short of what is expected of them. To the Negro Citizens of Wisconsin Having been commissioned by the directors of the Middle states and Mississippi valley exposition to be held as above to solicit exhibits representative of the industrial genius of the Negro race. I earnestly urge upon all my fellow citizens to at once contribute something to the cause that will properly and intelligently represent the progress of the race in this great commonwealth. The state of Wisconsin has afforded ample opportunities without prejudice or distinction as to race, creed, color or previous conditions for all to make their mark therein. The opportunity, therefore, now presented for the Negroes of Wisconsin to show to the general public what has been accomplished under these favorable conditions should not be neglected. I therefore respectfully request that every Negro—man, woman and child—who has accomplished anything of merit, either with hand, pen, brush, pencil or needle, will at once communicate with me relative to having the same entered as a part of the Wisconsin exhibit. Such entries should be placed in my hands before August 1. SHELTON M. MINOR. Commissioner for the State of Wisconsin * * * James Hale Porter, Director General. A. C.

Mr. Fletcher is a progressive man, as was evidenced by the impressive sermon which he delivered Sunday last to the congregation. Mr. Fletcher took for his text the famous words "Speak to the Children of Isreal that they go forward" and impressed upon his hearers the necessity of progression, more especially in view of the present status of the race question. Call for Meeting of National Afro American Council, at St. Paul, Minn., July 9, 10 and 11, 1902 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 M. General Secretary National Afro-American League. General Secretary National Afro-American League. 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 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. Section 1. The Afro-American Council shall be composed of members as follows: 1st. All persons who hold life membership. 2d. Council delegates, representing duly accredited local councils. 3d. Affiliated delegates, representing organizations of similar plans and purposes co-operating with Afro-American Council. Sec. 2. Every local Afro-American council shall be entitled to representation in the national council by delegates elected on a basis of one delegate to every fifty (50) members, said delegates to qualify upon presentation of credentials and payment of 10 cents for each member so represented. Provided, however, that any local council having less than fifty (50) members shall be entitled to one vote, upon presentation of credentials and payment of the annual tax of $5. Sec. 3. Religious and secular organizations which have for their aim and work the mental and moral elevation of the race, and which desire to co-operate with the national council, may be represented by affiliated delegates, not more than two delegates to each organization. Said delegates shall have the right to vote upon payment of $5 for each delegate. Sec. 4. Editors of Afro-American newspapers and principals of academic schools and colleges may be admitted to membership in the national council and be entitled to a vote upon presentation of credentials and payment of the annual tax of $5. HALF FARE RATES ON RAILROADS. 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: 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 rep- resented 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. THOMAS FORTUNE, Chairman Executive Committee. CYRUS FIELD ADAMS, General Secretary. THROUGHOUT THE STATE. The editor had a pleasant interview with Judge Trilling this week, who is a gentleman most friendly to the race. We expressed our sorrow that through some inadvertence the Advocate had not been mailed to him, which apology was received as from one gentleman to another. * * * Sheboygan is noted all over this and neighboring states for its business enterprises. Not the least amongst these is the American Folding Bed Company, of which the Messrs. Joerns are the proprietors. Their productions are second to none, and the individual partners are gentlemen in the truest sense of the word. *** Another business firm of this enterprising city is that of A. Zimbal & Son, whose pressed brick commands a high price in the market. They can do more than press brick; they can see through a stone wall and gauge a man and a cause according to its worth. * * * Connecticut must be looking out for its laurels when Wisconsin has such a pushing firm as the Columbia Shoe Company, located in this city, and of which the officials are C. J. Wolf, president and secretary, and Henry Zehms. Their goods compare very favorably with those of more pretentious firms. 牵牵 We have pleasure in adding to the list of our subscribers that of Robert J. Kohler, president of the J. M. Kohler Sons' Company. Mr. and Mrs. Kohler have a warm side towards the colored race and endorse our view that the so-called problem can only be solved by self-advancement. ☆ ☆ ☆ Amongst all these personal and pleasant experiences, it is a pity to have to spoil the record with an adverse criticism or opinion. One gentleman who from his position would be supposed to know better, and from whom, considering the introduction given him, more enlightened opinions could be expected, gave vent to the most remarkable statement that he had always a good opinion of the Negro until he went on a visit South. There he found, he says, the very reverse of what all men who have studied this perplexing question: viz., that the Southern Negro was wholly dishonest and untrustworthy. He surely must have been in some districts similar to that visited by our esteemed friend, Rev. Judson Titsworth, whom we had occasion to call down for similar remarks more than a year ago. Let the gentleman in question visit St. Paul at the forthcoming convention and he will then see of what sort of stuff the real Southern Negro is made—in this matter we will be heard again in a manner little expected by the gentleman in question. --- Afro-American Council Meeting All eyes are now turned to the great July meeting at St. Paul. Be sure to attend. The meeting of the National Afro-American Council at St. Paul, Minn., July 9-10-11, promises to be the largest yet held. All railroads in the United States have made a rate of one fare plus $2 for the round trip to the National Educational Association which meets in Minneapolis during the same week, and persons wishing to attend the Council meeting can purchase tickets to the N. E. A. at Minneapolis and ride over to St. Paul on street car for ten cents. There is no color line in St. Paul. Every hotel in the city will receive Afro-Americans and accommodations may also be secured with many private families at reasonable rates. An excellent programme has been prepared. The present status of the race and the best means of improving conditions will be discussed by such eloquent speakers as Mrs. Mollie Church Terrell, ex-Representative George H. White, Mrs. J. Silome Yates, Archbishop Ireland, Dr. I. B. Scott, Hon. H. C. Smith, W. H. Pledger, John C. Dancy, C. J. Perry, and a host of other silver-tongued orators. N.

MONARCH SLEEPS WELL Substantial Improvement in All Respects —The Royal Patient Shows Fortitude. London, July 1.—The following bulle- tin was posted at Buckingham palace at 7 p. m.: The advancement in the King’s condition is maintained. His appetite is improving and the dressing of his wound is less pain- ful. His majesty is still fatigued on the least exertion. TREVES, LAKING, BARLOW. London, July 1.—The following bulle- tin on the condition of King Edward was posted at Buckingham palace at 10 o'clock this morning: The King passed an exceflent night of natural sleep. He has gained strength and wade substantial improvement in all re- spects. TREVES, LAKING, BARLOW. 5:18 P. m.—The Associated Press learns that King Edward spent an ex-’ cellent day and that he continues to im- prove. Sir Frederick Treve this after- noon expressed entire satisfaction with the patient’s condition. ,. London, July 1.—The reappearance to- day of Queen Alexandra as a partici- pant in a public ceremony practically marks the end of the period of anxiety caused by King Edward’s condition. Her presence at the review of the colo- nial troops by the Prince of Wales great- ly increased public enthusiasm over what in itself was a picturesque and interesting event. Upwards of 2500 colonials were brought in from the jvarfous encampments and marched through great crowds down Constitution hill, which was lined with troops, past Buckingham palace which for a week has been the center of such supreme interest, and along the Mall to the Horse Guards’ parade. The contingent present represented all parts of the British em- pire with the gxception of India, whose troops will be peately reviewed to- morrow. The Canadian detachment numbered 609 men and was by far the largest body on parade. The smallest detachment consisted of three natives of the island of St. Lucia, Borneo, Cey- lon, Fiji, the West Indies generally. Cy- prus, the Gold Coast, Nigeria, Uganda and other remote colonies were represent- ed by native troops in clothing of strik- ing variety, while straight from the fighting line in South Africa, were details from Canadian scouts, Kitchener's horse and contingents from a number of local levies raised during the war. Cheers for the Queen. The Queen’s appearance while on her way from the palace to the horse guards were greeted with salvos of cheers, which increased in strength as the spec- tators noticed that the c.deal of the past week had but little affected her majesty‘s health and noted the absence of any signs of anxiety as she cheerily acknowl- edged the congratulations of the public at the uninterrupted progress of the King. ) . The Queen was seated in an open car- riage. Beside her was the Princess of Wales, and seated opposite were the Princess Victoria and Princess Charles of Denmark. Several carriages contain- ing the Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of Connaught and others followed. The Prince of Wales was accom pote’ by the Crown ane ot pena, Prince rederick, Prince Charles of Degmark Fad hak ates aoe Ge the tora oe taches, including Maj. E. B. Cassatt, the Batted States military attache. The Duke of Connaught and Lord Roberts, the commander-in-chief, stirrounded by brilliant staffs, rode behind the Prince of Wales’ party. The long lines of troops completely filled the horse guards’ Dida tautlah began aeatedokasieaeais stood out in vivid contrast with the trees in the park. Thousands of spectators filled the stands or stood bekina tie po- lice. Among the interested on-lookers was Prince “Eddy” and the other chil- dren of the Prince and Princess of Wales. All the colonial premiers, In- dian princes and other guests of the na- tion were present to say nothing of mem- bem of the House of Commons without end. The troops marched quickly past the Queen's carriage, the Prince of Wales receiving the salute. The Queen then drove slowly in and out of the lines and the Prince of Wales closely inspected the troops and dismounted and conferred medals and crossses on those who had merited the honor, shaking hands with the recipients of the Victoria cxoss, Yelled Themselves Hoarse. Then followed the most picturesque feature of the day. The Duke of Con- naught, at the head of the troops and facing the Prince of Wales, in. clear tones gave the command. “The parade will give three cheers for the King,” and himself started the “Hip,” “hip.” In a second the refrain was taken up and there rose cheers such as London seldom hears, the sound of which must have reached almost to the royal sick room, half a mile away. Helmets, caps and campaign hats rose in waving confusion at the bayonet’s point, and the assem- bled crowds joined in with equal vigor. A men in the Canadian ranks shouted “and a tiger,” at which the troops and crowd once more yelled themselves hoarse. It was the first oceasion since the announcement of the King’s illness that the general public had an opportu- nity to vent their feelings and the peo- ple took advantage of it. After this the life guards rode up to the Queen's carriage to the accompani- ment of “God Save the King,” and cheers not unmingled with tears of the women, many of whom were deeply af-| fected. The Suen drove slowly past’ the troops to Buckingham palace con-, stantly bowing and smiling acknowledge-; ments of the people’s greetings; the Prince of Wales and the other members of the royal family followed, the colo- nials reformed in columns, and, amidst CRONJE TAKES THE OATH. Boer Commander, Who is at St. Helena with Other Prisoners, Swears Allegiance. Jamestown, St. Helena, July 1.—Gen. Cronje, the Boer commander, who, with: his army, was captured by Lord Roberts at Paardeberg, Orange Free State, in February, 1900, has taken the oath of allegiance to King Edward. Many of the remaining prisoners are following his example, fae Se Sparta Miners on Strike. Duiuth, Minn., July 1—The miners, more than 200 in number, at the Sparta and Malta mines at Sparta, on the Me- saba range, are on a strike for an ad- yance from $1.75 to $2 a day. The Sparta Miuing Company offered to com- promise with the men on a basis of R90 a day, but it was refused. THE BANKS MUST PAY. Federal Judge at Brooklyn, N. Y., Hands Down a Decision in a Test Case. New York, July 1.—While beginn today Uncle Sam will remit his clzi.. to taxes which have put $70,000,000 ix his treasury annually for several years. and the banks, national, state and sav- img, are to feel the effect of this reduc- tion in their expenses. together with various other lines of business enter prises, the national banks have not_been eased by a decision rendered by Judge Lacombe, in the federal court of Brook- lyn, holding that the treasury depart- ment must not repay the tax which ws levied on the undivided profits of one bank. Judge Lacombe’s decision was given in the case of the Leather Man~ facturers’ Bank brought as a test iw ascertain if the treasury department could collect $154 which was leied as war taxes on undivided erie of $77,- 796 held by the bank. Vhen Congres: passed the internal revenue act in 1808 imposing a tax on the surplus funds in the various banks, objection was made and the Leather Manufaeturers’ Bank was the only one to make the payment. Having done this, it brought suit to re- cover. Taking this decision as a precedent, all the banks now will be compelled to pay the taxes which have accrued in the last three years as the law was not repealed until this year. Nearly all the banks in the count will*make an effort to have this decisio reversed, and the American Bankers’ As- sociation probably will carry the case to the supreme court. Chicago, Il., July 1.—Within a few days practically every bank in Chicago will be called on to pay back United States internal revenue taxes on its.un- divided profits for the period from the passing of the war revenue act by Con- gress up to January 1, 1902. The tax amounts to $2 per $1000 and covers a period of practically three years. The amount of undivided profits of the Chi- cago banks has been during that period about $8,000,000. Hence the total in- yolved in back taxes in Chicago is about $16,000. Furthermore, the decision f- fects the future taxes of banks under the internal revenue law. TO MAKE CHEAP PAPER. Concern at Kankakee, Ill., to Use Old Cornstalks in Its Manufacture— Will Erect a Plant. Kankakee, Ill., July 1.—It is believed that the plant of the National Fiber and Cellulose Company, soon to be estab- lished in this city, will eventually de- crease the price of paper. While it is not the intention of t.. corporation to manufacture paper ut once, it intends to make paper stock, and ultimately paper mills will prob- ably be located here. The National Fiber and Cellulose Com- pany has just purchased the site of the Kankakee Stone and Lime Company for its plant. The companv is owner of a process for preparing paper stock and cellulose from corns‘alks, a product that is now mostly wasted. It is proposed by the company to lo- eate mills in different sections, to work up the raw material—that is, husk, strip. and separate the pulp and fiber, which will then be pressed and shipped to cer tral mills in Kaukakee for reduction. While the outer covering of the-eorn- stalk is worked up into paper. the pith. which is valueless as feed, can be made into cellulose, the chemical pease oi which are almost unlimited. eae Sei ase Continuous Downpour Does Great Dam- age to Crops in New York—Hay Rotting in the Fields, New York. July 1—Reports from Central and Northern New York indicate that he continuous rain of June has done many thozsands of dollars’ worth of damage to the crops. Farmers say that alfalfa, timothy and clover are rotting in the fields, that the oats and barley crops will consist chiefly of straw, that sweet corn and tne regu- lar field corn sre rotting and that pas- ture lands are teo wet to produce nutri- tious feed for stock. In Rutland county the corn crop is believed to be ruined while only « small part of the hay has been harvested.

Tekin, July 1.—The taotai of Shanghai has notified the bankers’ commission that China refuses to pay the July instali- ment of the indemnity except at the rate of exchange prevailing April 1, 1901. The foreign ministers consider that the tuotai’s declaration is the result of the announcement of United States Minister Conger to the Chinese government that the United States sustains China's con- tention and is- willing to accept pay- ment on the basis mentioned. But the ministers are confident that China will accept the decision of the majority of the ministers when she is convinced that the United States is her ouly supporter. ——_+———— RENEWS BUCKETSHOP WAR.

The trouble had its origin in 2 debate initiated by Bailey over a resolution re- quiring the secretary of state to furnish the Senate with all of the papers in the case of Dr. Scott of Texas, who some time ago filed charges against Geut. Powell Clayton, United States ambas- sador to Mexico. He was especially se- vere in his arraignment of Judge Wil- liam L. Penfield, the solicitor of the state department, who, he said, was either incompetent or indifferent to the rights of Americsn citizens. Beveridge in a defense of Judge Pen- field declared that | Senator Bailey's aspersions on Penfield were unwar- ranted. Bailey Demands a Retraction.

I give you the opportunity of doing so privately.” “I did not intend to insult you,” ‘e- plied Senstor Bevridge, “and there is nothing in my language that you could consider offensive.” Springs at Beveridge’s Throat. As the words were uttered Bailey threw himself on Beveridge. “TH kill you, you little runt,’ ex- claimed Bailey, as he reached for Bey- eridge’s neck with both hands. Senator Spooner was thrown vioiently against a desk, but, recovering himself, he assisted Leighton in dragging Bailey away from Beveridge. They rushed the Texan out of the chamber and the fight was over. Bailey said later that if Beveridge had risen to his feet he would have slapped his face, but because he rem:ined seated he was forced by the code, under Selick he was acting, to resort to strang- ing. A part of the Indiana senator's neck- wear was ripne@ 2nd torn away by the vigorous grasp of Senator Bailey. Will Let Issue Drop. Senztor Beveridge remarked to those who spoke of the fight that it did not amount to anything. When the news of the affair was ciren- lated it caused a great deal of comment. Senator Veveridge, who attended a local theater Inst night. said that he proposed to say nothing about it that he would not ask for an investigation, and that he would regard it 2s a_closed_incident. Senator Bailey said that if Beveridge felt that way he would let the matter drop.

Policeman at Pennsylvania Colliery Fires at Workman. HAS A DEADLY EFFECT. Threaten to Make an Attack on the Stockade as Measure of Re- taliation. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 1—The first loss of life during the anthracite strike oc- curred today at the William A. colliery at Duryea, Antonio Guisuepe, an Italian, was shot dead by one of the coal and iron policemen from behind the stock- ade of the colliery. Reports differ as to the cause of the shooting. The ‘friends of the dead man say he was walking ou the road near the stockade when de was fired upon. The man was on his way from Scranton to Duryea. Another re- port is that the Italian tried to get over the fence and would not heed the warn- ing from the policemen to go away. He insisted on making his way into the stockade and was fired upon. There is much indignation over the shooting and the sheriff of Lacka- wanna county was summoned to take steps to preserve order as it was reported that there would be an sprising among the foreigners and that they would attack the stockade before night. The body lay in the roadway for some time. The coal and iron police would not venture outside of the stockade to remove it and the people living in the vicinity did not want to take it away until the arrival of the coroner, When the sheriff of Lackawan- na county reached the scene he ordered the body removed to an undertaking es- tablishment.

They claim that all the boiler repairmen, numbering 260, are out. A further ad- | vance is to be asked of the North-West- ern by the machinists, numbering 6590. According to business agent Roderick, of the railway branch of the International Association of Machinists, there has been no talk of 2 strike to enforce the de- mands of the machinists, as the raiiroad officials have always treated the men in a friendly way. The threatened strike of 10,000 freight handlers did not materialize today. OUTLOOK FOR CROPS. Damage by Rains Not as Great as First Reported—-Corn Suffers, but Wheat Does Not. Chicago, Il., July 1.—Reports from various points in the West and North- west give further details of the damage to growing crops by the recent heavy rains. In North Dakota corn is said to have been washed out but what is doing well and the outlook for flax is excellent. In Minnesota the damage to corn will be less than first reported and will be re- stored if July and August are good months. In the uplands of Illinois and Missouri corn and oats were benefited by the rains, but in the lowlands the damage has been considerable, Potatoes are rotting in the ground as a result of excessive rainfall in Nebraska, and the corn crop is likewise damaged. Reports rrom ninety-seven counties in Iowa show that the Iowa crops were standing the cold weather and the heavy rains remarkably well and that the pre- dictions of damage and loss were largely visionary. An inch and a quarter of rain fell last night in Cloud and Bourbon counties, KKas.. with showers in central portions of the state. The wheat harvest is prac- tically over, although retarded in the ex- treme West by cool weather. Heavy rains have injured the crop in central portions. The oats crop is in fine shape and is being harvested in central and southern counties. Corn generally is re- ported in splendid condition, with prom- ise of one of the largest yields in the state’s history. In the Oklahoma and Indian territory the crop conditions generally are report- ed favorable. TAKEN BACK TO ENGLAND.

He speciteally dis- “aimed any Intention to impugn the speak- ss motives, and said that while he felt he ught to continue to object to other busi- ‘ess, he appreciated that at the close of he session he might. interfere with the ‘g-sege of many meritorious bills, “but I dive notice now,” he concluded, “that at he next session I shall object to every re- mest for unanimous consent until there has heen a hearing upon this bill.” The resolu- tion was then passed, With final adjournment in sight, the Mouse worked under high pressure from soon wntil far inte the night on the 0th. \s a preliminary several resolutions were adopted to grease the legislative wheels.

During a comparatively brief session of the Senate on the 26th the conference re. port on the Isthmian canal bill was agreed to and the general deficiency bill, the last of the big supply measure, was passed. A slight protest was made against the ap- propriation of $500,000 for the Buffalo ex- position, and $160,000 for the Charleston (8S. C.) exposition, but finally they were in- cinded In the bill. ‘The méasuré also ear- rics $45,000 for the payment of the ex- Penses of the ast filness and death of »resident McKinley, that amount including the pay of the physicians. By a vote of 18 to 30 the Senate declined to consider the bill to revive and amend an act which pro- vides for payment for cotton selzed by the Union forces during the Civil way. An ef- fort was made to obtain consideration for a bill to carry into effect the stipulations of article 7 of the treaty of Paris between the United States and Spain, but it was unsuccessful on account of the absence of a quorum, and at 2:48 the Senate ad- journed. Quite unexpectedly, a_sharp debate arose in the Senate on the 27th on the question of Cubau reciprocity. Mr. Teller, at whose instance the committee on Cuban relations made its investigation of the subject, de- livered a spirited speech in opposition to reciprocity with Cuba, He charged that the entire reciprocity propoganda had been Lacked by the American Sugar Retining Compary and by Americans who were in- terested financially in Cuban sugar planta- tions. The purpose. he said, was to strike down an important agricultural industry of this country. He was willing to join ! a general revision of the tariff to imeet changed conditions, but unless the duties on fron and steel and other products were ‘reduced, together with those on sugar, in order that the arrangement might be equit- able. the beet sugar growers never would consent to a reduction on their product. Mr. Platt (Conn.), chairman of the commit- tee on Cuban relations, Fepied sharply to Mr. Teller’s argument. He sharply criti- cised Mr. Teller’s > sage saying it was made up largely “from the speculative imaginings of a witness. aor by the beet sugar lobby here.” Mr, Platt said that from the time our military forces oc- eupied Cuba he had believed that eventually either the United States must come into such relations with the Cubans as to pro- duce in them contentment, prosperity and happiness, or that we would be obliged to accept an offer of annexation from a dis- contented and unhappy people. Bills were passed oy the Senate on the 2th authorizing the New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad Company to construct bridges across the Calumet River at Ham- mond, Ind., and across the same river at Cummings, I. Mr. Teller presented a = tition from Estes G. Rathbone, praying for a full investigation Into his performance of duties as director of posts of Cuba ——. the oa of Cuba. Mr. Aldrich call up a bill relating to tobacco passed by the Senate and moved to aeree to ap amend- ment of the House providing that no ae ages of manufactured tobacco, snuff, cn and cigarettes shall have attached to them any representation or promise of a ticket of chance in any lottery or any immoral picture. The amendment was agreed to, thus passing the bill. Mr. Deboe and Mr. Binekbur engaged in an interesting but good-natured discussion of a poll- ties. A resolution offered recently by Mr. Mitchell instructing the committee on Pa- cifie islands and Porto Rico to investigate, during the recess, the condition of things in Hawali and the administration of affairs there, with authority to visit the islands, was adopted. The usual executive 5, precedes adjourumiont. E — “D— you, I'll kill you!” hissed senator Bailey at Senator Beveridge in the Sonate chamber on the 30th. Then the senator from ‘Texas sprang at the senator from Indiana. The right fist of the young sen. ator from Texas gripped the throat of the young senator from Jndiana. ‘The fingers of the Southerner’ were clutching at the Northern’ man’s necktie, At that instant Senator Spooner (Wis.) grabbed Bailey's arm and pulled him off. Assistant Sergeant at Arms Layton rushed to Spooner’s as- ‘sistance and Bailey was led away. Bever- idge was not hurt. He was not even aware that Bailey's hand had touched him. The senator from Indiana was forced by the Texan's onslaught so violently against the adjoining desk that an ink bottle was up- set. But Beveridge never stirred from his chair. He continued to smoke his cigar. and resumed his conversation with his friends. A heated colloquy. growing out of the Democratic leader's criticism of a gov- ernment olmcial, preceded the personal, en- counter. pd in the session Mr. Elkins (W. Va.), who offered a resolution for the amnexation of Cuba, delivered a pec in its favor, SoU that it would be to the best interests of both countries. His remarks drew a sharp fire from Mr. Platt (Conn.) and Mr, Hanna (O.), who depre- eated any annexation proposition at this time, and urged that the United States ought te be sensible of is obligations to the civilized world if not to Cuba. After a lively colloquy, in which Gen. Wood was, criticised by Inference for using Cuban funds to adyance the reciprocity propa- ganda, Mr. Elkins’ resolution was referred to the Cuban relations committee. The Senate ratified the treaty with Great Brit- ain permitting the government of Zanzibar to collect a duty of 10 per cent. ad valorem on articles imported to the country. The Senate adjourned sine die at 5:30 p. m, on the Ist. The intervals between the mild spasms of official. dissolution were giyen over to Mieawher-like walts for some. thing to turn up. The final mepart of the conference on the general deficiéncxy bi'l was presented and agteed to without de- bate. The conference reports on the naval appropriation bill and the bill to provide a temporary civil government in the Philip- pines were agreed to as was that on the Por.9 Rico public lands and buildings biti. A bill appropriating $75,000 for the erec- tion of a quartermaster’s warehouse in Omaha was passed. A resolution offered on behalf of the minority of the committee on the Sanaa authorizing that commit- tee to sit during the recess to prosecute its inquiry. Ivto the [Philippines was referred te committee. ‘line House concurrent reso- lution providing for adjournment was adopted.

SAR. “{ hope you ain’t got no objections to my marryin’ Lucindy, dad! I think an awful lot of her, an’ I’m pretty sure she sets a lot by me, tho’ why, I don’t jest know, for there’s lots of fellers in Lone- someville that’s got more about ’em than me to make a woman like him!” The speaker, Dick Pendergrass, was a freckle-taced lad with honest blue eyes and a taffy-colored mustache that was just in the act of sprouting. He jooked at his father rather shyly at first, but as the old man removed his pipe from his mouth, and hitched his chair back a little upon the porch, he grew more courageous and faced him squarely. “I hain’t no objections tew Lucindy, Dick,” said the old man slowly, “an’ neither has your ma, nor any on the children; but don’t act tew quick about marryin’, my boy! Take my advice an’ don’t you act tew quick about it!’ “but, dad, we're both old enough to marry, I’m sure, an’ as for changin’ our minds, that air ain’t possible! I shall always love Lucindy just as long as 1 live?” Why shouldn’t we get married without no more waitin’ ?” The farmer was silent for several min- utes. When he spoke again his voice was a bit husky, and twice he coughed a little as if to cover his real feelings. “Your, ma an’ J thought that way onet, my boy. We was in love an’ couldn't see no good reason for waitin’. Yew know what a life we've had of it here on the farm. It’s been nothin’ but a lifetime of worryin’ an’ slavin’. I don’t say but what you've got more tew start with than your old dad had, but. yew ain't got. much, not half as. much as you'd oughter haye when yew take the care of a woman ou your shoulders.” Dick Pendergrass looked surprised at such sentiments from his father. He knew, of course, that as farmers go, his father was really a very thoughtful hus- band. When he was around the house he di all the lifting for his wife, ex- cept, of course, when he, Dick, was there to_help her, But the farm was poor, and he worked early and late, and so the old couple had grown careworn together. His father’s cough was very bad this season, and his sinewy frame had be- come pitifully thin and feeble. “YT could bring Lucindy right here,” he said suddenly. “I am sure she'd take right hold an’ help ma if she’d let her!” He had forgotten entirely what his father was saying while the vision of the old people rose up before him, so he was not prepared for his father’s out- burst of scorn nor the flood of eloquence from that unexpected quarter, “That's it, yew scoundrel; Yew would dew jest that! You'd bring that girl here an’ let her wear herself out jest the same as I have done with Betsy! Hain’t it bad enough that one in the family has ill-treated a woman, an’ that the father who is settin’ before you? I tell you when I married your mother she was a purty gal, as purty as Lucindy, an’ might say purtier. An’ what kind of a life has she had with me—she with her big blue eyes an’ purty pink cheeks that was sweet enough for a King or Em- peror? What has she had in all the years that she has been my wife? Not a dog- goned thing but hard work an’ worry! Fust it’s churn an’ wash dishes, then it’s wash dishes an’ churn, not tew say noth- in’ of the cookin’ an’ sewin’ an’ bakin’! There’s never a minute’s rest for her poor, tired feet, an’ her hands that used ter be like satin air as rough as a grater, She ain't had no pleasure nor no chances nox nethin’—it’s jest work, work, work all the time, an’ that’s exactly what'll come if yew marry Lucindy. No, sir! I won't give my consent tew your mar- ryin’ that gal! I don’t dew it, Dick, now that I come to think it over!’ A sharp bit of coughing brought the tirade to an end and Dick managed to catch his breath before his father had recovered. “Ain't my mother satisfied?” he began with poor courage, then waited breath- lessly for-his father’s answer, “Air the angels in heaven satisfied tew be forever twangin’ on golden harps? Of course they be, fer they don’t know no better! Give one on ’em a ot or a fiddle for a change an’ Ill het a_dol- lar that’ they’d appreciate it! Your mother is satisfied in a way, I s’pose: still, if it hadn't been fer me she might a done better.” A yoice from the kitchen interrupted the speaker. “L[ wish one of you would come an’ help me with the tubs.” It was a tired voice, but by no means fretful or unpleasant. Dick rese at once, but his father was before him. It seemed almost as if he had_ anticipated the summons. * “Such love as that ought tew pay a woman,” Dick whispered. “I’m sure Cindy’d think so, that is, if I was mean enough tew. ask her.” E His reveries was cut short by a piere- ing seream from his mother. He rushed into the kitchen, and then stood shiver- ing with horror. x The tub had been too heavy, or it had slipped or something—for the old man lay on the floor as white as death, but still breathing slightly. 8 His mother bent over the grizzled head, and her tears were running down upon the face of her husband. | | “He has killed himself in his own kitehen!” she cried sharply. “Run fer thé doctor, quick, Dick!

One of the peculiarities about the mili- tary service in Germany is the paternal interest that the officers are required to take in the frugality of the men, The pay of the soldier is only 6 cents a day, but the army regulations guard it ie ously. Each man is expected to keep his money in a little bag suspended from a string around his neck, and any officer during inspection may demand to have the bags opened and their contents shown. If it be found that a soldier is spending his pay too freely—think of that with the pay at so low_a_mark!— he is reprimanded and punished. He is compelled to make his pay cover his ex- peises. = The Oldest Science. A dispute recently arose at a beer table in Germany between a group of university men as to which science was the oldest. A representative of the law declared that it was jurisprudence, for this science must have been known in Paradise, seeing that Adam and Eve were evicted therefrom. “Why,” said a graduate of medicine, “medicine is cer- tainly of older date. Just think of the operation that Adam had to submit to in order that a rib should be obtained for Eve!” “No, no, gentlemen,” retorted an electrotechnician, “for before any- thing was created God said, ‘Let there be light?” ‘Then¢ame the theologian, who said: “I do not want to appear presumptuous, but I think that prece- deuce belongs to theology, for before it was light it was—dark!” eis igo to Reviewed in Letter Left by Mr. Haner of Hartford, Wis., to be Read After His Death. The following words written by Horace Haner of Hartford, Wis., to be read at his burial, were addressed by Dow Max- on on June 24 to a large assemblage of Mr, Haner’s old neighbors and friends who had gathered to pay their last re- ‘spects to him: n I, Horace Haner, was born in 1819 in the town of Jefferson, Schoharie county, New York. At the age of 8 years I, with my parents, moved to the western part of the state and settled in wes county, where I lived until 1889. In June of that year I married my wife, Naney Jane Gould, with whom I haye lived apply for sixty-three years. In 1842 I moved to I!inois, where I lived three years. In 1845 I came to Wis- consin and in the following year moved on to my farm in Cedar Creek, where the last fifty-six years of my life have been spent. My farm was heavily timbered, All the farm machinery I had was an axe, a hoe and a grindstone. 1 have always tried to live an honest, industrious and upright life, and to treat all my neighbors and friends with respect. I am an old-fashioned man, therefore It Is my request that when my time comes to leaye this world of care, there be no grand, expensive funeral. 1 wish no display, but that everything correspond to my mode of living, I wish no monument or sostly stone, but one from mother nature, wit! my name, age, date of birth and death carved on It in the simplest manner. My coffin, made by my orders years ago, is as I wanted it. I have not attended church much during my life in Wisconsin, as there was no English church within a reasonable distances of me. Notwithstanding, I have contributed to build churches and to sup- port ministers of the gospel.

Mr, Haner never had a serious illness in his life, was of a happy, cheerful nature. He died of old age on Sunday, June 22, 1902, while sitting in his chair, He was very fond of recounting the im- portance of Sunday in his life, he hay- ing met the girl he married on Sunday, did all his courting on Sunday, was mar- ried on Sunday, his first child was torn on Sunday and she was married on Sun- day; his golden wedding occurred on Sunday and he attained the age of $0 on Sunday; his wife was 80 years of age on Sunday, December 15, last, 1nd he has completed his record by dying on Sunday, as he said he must. He was a man of an original and peculiar ¢har- acter and will be missed in the iittle circle among whom be dwelt.

The color of the stream is a perceptibly deeper blue than that of the neighbor- ing sea, this blueness forming one of the standard references of the nautical nov- elists. The depth of color is due to the high percentage of salt contained, as compared with the cold green water of higher latitudes, observation having shown that more salt held in solution by sea water the more intensely blue is shown that the more instensely blue is its color. Thus even in extratropical latitudes we sometimes observe water of ‘a beautiful blue color, as, for instance, in the Mediterranean and in other nearly land-locked basins, where the influx of fresher water being more or less impeded the percentage of salt contained is raised by evaporation above the average. Another important fact in connection with the stream is its almost tropical temperature, due to the fact that its high velocity enables it to reach the mid- dle latitudes with very little loss of heat. Upon entering its limits, the temperature of the sea water frequently shows a rise of ten degrees and even fifteen degrees. It was this fact that gave to the stream in the later years of the Eighteenth cen- tury, and the earlier years of the Nine- teenth an importance in the minds of navigators that it no longer possesses. In those days the chonometer, invented by Harrison in 1765, was still an experi- ment. Instruments were crude and nau- tieal tables often at fault. The result was that the determination of the longitude was largely a matter of guesswork, a vessel after a voyage from the channel to America often being out of her reckoning by degrees instead of by minutes. The idea, first suggested by Benjamin Franklin, that the master of a vessel, by observing the temperature of the surface water, could tell the moment of his entry into the gulf stream, and could hence fix his position to within a few miles, was hailed with delight. ‘The method was published in 1799 by Jon- athan Williams in a work lengthily en- titled “Thermometrical Navigation, be- ing a series of experiments ae obser- -yation tending to prove that by ascer- taining the relative heat of the sea water from time to time, the passage of a ship ‘through the gulf stream, and from deep water into soundings, may be discovered ‘in time to avoid danger.” In this work he makes the patriotic comparison of the gulf stream to a streak of red, white and blue, painted upon the surface of the sea for the guidance of American navigators. —National Geographical Magazine. Judicial Dignity in Bombay. Mark Twain. relating several incidents of his travels in India, told the follow- ing story anent the pomposity of the judge of the Bombay high court: “A judge, whose bearing denoted that never for an instant could he forget his judicial distinction, was walking up and down the platform of a small railway station just before taking his seat in the train. A few minutes after the train had drawn into the station a perspiring Eng- lishman rushed on to the platform and said to the judge: “Ts this the Bombay train?’ “The judge, looking over the head of the questioner, remarked coldly: “fF am not the station master.’ Whereupon the Englishman retorted, with considerable heat: | “ ‘Then, confound you, sir, why do you swagger about as if you were.’ "—New York Times. — Tundicrous Coincidences. Coincidences of a ludicrous charactct are liabie to oceur on the most solemn _oc- casions, As an illustration, the New York Christian Advocate recalls that Rev. C. R. Moses of Virginia, a Baptist preacher of considerable renown, once spent a Sunday in Richmond, soon atter he had yisited the beautiful regions around Mountain Lake in Giles county, Va. Being invited by one of the city pastors to preach, toward the close of the sermon he gave as an illustration a vivid description of the wonderful landscape scenes which he had just beheld, and as he closed called on ‘the choir to sing something of their own selection. They struck up the old hymn __beginnins, “There is a land of pure delight,” but when they reached the fourth stanza these words confronted them: Could we but stand where Moses stood, ‘And view the landscape o'er. _ They tried to sing, but broke down. The congregation followed their example, and the service closed in general merri- ment. Soa een tie etie , LAKE’S SAD RECORD. Numerous Catastrophes are Recorded Against the Madison Body of Water. or water. "The recent sad accident in Lake Menodta at Madison, Wis., when Ada L. Hawley of Madison and George L. Lohr of Mil- waukee were drowned, has reminded residents of the capital city of many other similar catastrophies in years gone by. No less than eight or ten drown- ings have been chronicled during the past twenty years. The first student known to have been drowned in the lake was Cyril H. Brackett, His death occurred in No- vember, 1858. Young Hackett was drowned while skating on the lake. Many tragedies of recent years are recalled, they being: On June 27, 1886, Frank White, a student from Marshall, Miun., was drowned in about eighteen feet of water. He, with two companions, Howard Greene and E. B. Belden of Milwaukee, were out swimming when he was seized with cramps and drowned, before his comrades could assist him. His body 7s recoyered py a diver several days ater. In the spring of 1893 three students, A. E. Coe, brother-in-law of A, B. Aus- tin, Jr., of Madison, E. B. White and W. B. Strong, were capsized in a_sail- boat off Maple Bluff. Strong held to the boat until his strength and. endur- ance gave out and Coe clung to the craft and to Smith even after the latter was dead from hanging head downwards in the water. The accident happened at noon, and about 4:30 in the afternoon a party righted the overturned boat and rescued Coe, who was about ready to loose his hold. Skaters Drowned. Otto Lenzer, a printer 26 years of age, was_drowned in the lake on De- cember 27, 1895, while skating on some thin ice. There was a large crowd on the ice and many broke through, but the case of Otto Lenzer was the only one which resulted fatally. J. F. A. Pyre, now assistant professor of English lit- erature at the university, was rescued from probable drowning on this same day by John R. Richards of football fame. Ernest B. Smith, son of J. B. Smith of Madison, and Maude Stephens, daughter of David Stephens, also broke through, but were pulled out by Warren Hawley, the brother of Miss Ada L. Hawley, who was recently drowned. In the winter of ’94-5, about New Year's, three students sailed into open water off Picnic Point and two of them were drowned. John Day, one of the most promising athletes the university ever had, a great crew man and a fine debater, was drowned during the spring of 1896 by the swamping of the shell in which the crew was practicing near Picnie Point. The accident occurred in the spring of his sophomore year . In 1893 Charles Freeman of Milwau- kee was drowned while bathing in Lake Mendota. : Boats Capsize. Three years ago this summer Charles Goldenberger, Jr., was drowned by the capsizing of a rowboat while out with two companions about a block from the university boat house. The body was found almost immediately. In March, 1890, Ralph Seligman, aged 17 years, the son of Jacob Seligman of Madison was drowned and his body was not recovered for ten weeks. On September 6, 1896, John Norman, brother of City Clerk O. S. Norman, went fishing and the next morning the young man’s boat was found upturned in the lake. The body came up after five or -six days. Seized with Cramps. Six years ago on the 28th of this month John Spang of Dodgeville, 18 years of age, was drowned while bathing near the assembly grounds. He went out with a boat anil it is thought that when swimming some distance from the boat a cramp seized him. The drowning oc- curred at 4 o'clock in the afternoon ot Tuesday and the body was found less than four days later, Saturday morning. almost directly across the lake from the place . where the accident happened. Much dynamite was used in the search for the body and to this is attributed the fact that it came up in a few days. During the assembly season of 1900 Miss Jennie Rupp, daughter of Anthony A. Rupp, stewart of the Park hotel, was the victim of a deplorable accident which all remember. Miss Rupp, together with some girl friends and Alexius Baas, to whom the boat belonged, were run down by a steamer. Miss Rupp was the only oecnpant who was not rescned. SPEECH WAS IN HIS POCKET. No Occasion for Mental Agitation on Part of Maj. McKinley. Representative Dalzell was sitting gloomily in a corner of the ways and means committee toom. “What's the matter, John?” asked Rep- resentative McClellan. “You look as though you were in much distress.” “I am,” replied Dalzell. “I have got to make a speech on this Philippines civ- il government bill and I am as nervous as a cat. I always have stage-fright be- fore I make a speech. “And that reminds me,” he continued. “Years ago President McKinley and I were waiting at a hotel to be driven to a hall where we were both announced to speak. Mr. McKinley sat calmly smok- ing his cigar, while I was pacing up and down just as I am now. “*Major,’ I said, ‘Don’t you ever get neryous before speaking? You are as cool as a cucumber, and I’m as nervous as the valedictorian of a young ladies’ seminary.’ ““My dear Dalzell,’ he replied, ‘the dif- ference between us is this: You have got your speech in your head and I’ve got mine in my pocket.’ A Time-Saving Device. A unique time-saving device is said to be used in the office of one of New York’s large drug companies. Over the desks of each member of the firm and each manager of a department are four incandescent lights of different colors. When the individual is at his desk and at liberty to consider questions from oth- ers in the office, his white light is turned on. When he is in the building and must be hunted up he leaves his green light burning. When he is engaged and not to be disturbed except for vitally important matters his blue light is in evidence; while the display of his red light means, practically, “Danger!” Will not brook interruption under any con- sideration. ELKINS FOR ANNEXATION, Addresses Senate in Support of His Resolution. HIS PLEA FOR CUBA. As a State in American Union Her Peo- ple Would be Prosperous and Progressive. Washington, D. C., June 30.—Mr. Elkins addressed the Senate today on his resolution providing for annexation of Cuba. He said that his resolution had been misunderstood. It had no bearing upon Cuban reciprocity and was not in- tended to have any. It simply voiced in concrete form his judgment that Cuba ought to be annexed to the United States and the sooner the better for both coun- tries The resolution did not suggest annexation of Cuba in an offensive way. It provided that the Cubans must take the initiative and only after they had asked for annexation could the United States act. For nearly a century, he said, the an- nexation of Cuba to the United States had been the ambition of American statesmanship. He pointed out that many distinguished and patriotic Amer- ican statesmen from Jefferson to Me- acinley had favored annexation and he thought the present was an opportune AON TEN pS OY fe Says Se a SENATOR ELKINS. time to carry into effect the well-defined wishes of a majority of the people of Cuba and the United States in regard to annexation. It was, he declared, in the interest of both countries. The environ- ments of Cuba with the trials and diffi- culties that beset her on the threshold of her national life, stand in the way of her being long an independent nation; while as a state in the American union her people would be ie ase and progres- sive and enjoy the liberty and all the blessings that would flow from being ‘part of the best, greatest and freest gov- ernment in the world. No Hurtful Competition. After annexation the products of Cuba would not come into hurtful competition with those of the United States. Free ‘trade amongst the states has never low- ered the price of labor or worked injury ‘to American interests. Wherever our flag floats the price of labor advances. Continuing, Mr. Elkins said: 3 It is claimed that annexation would de- stroy the promising and growing beet sugar Industry of the United States. Not so, low ESR: The price of products among the tates of the union always seek an equilib- (rium. With proper Qrotection In favor of the cane sugidr of Cuba, which she will enjoy as a state and the ‘beet sugar of the United States, within fifteen years the United States’ would not only — produce enough sugar for its own consumption, but largely compete with ether countries in the markets of the world, But for the war with Spain, although so successful and glorious, Cuba would now be a part of the United States. Even with the war, had it not been for our declaration that the war was not waged for conquest or aggrandizement, known as the Teller amendment, Cnba would today be a part of the United States just as Porto Rico and the Phil-nnines are, ‘This awendyent bas proved both mischievous and unwise. ..hen Cuba shall become a part of the American union and the isthmian canal shall be completed, which is now assured, Porto Rico, Cuba, Hawail and the Philip pines will be the ‘outposts of the great re- public, standing guard over American {n- terests ip the track of the world’s com- ere in its trimuphal march around the lobs. S "There ts a tendency in all human affairs in government, trade and commerce to con- centration and combination. Meteors go to the sun; small nations are becoming parts of great nations and Cuba in her present. environment, situated us she Is, cannot be expected to resist this tendency. Embarrasses Healthy Progress. The effect of the Platt amendments will be to help bring about annexation. 4 na- ton canrot long remain half free and half dependent; such a condition embarrasses healthy progress in national llfe, and leaves but little room for the exercises of the genius and Intelligence of a people in the affairs of government, especially when un- der such restrictions ‘as these amendments mpose. ‘The question of annexation forces itself to the front and wil! claim from now on the attention of the peonte of both coun- tries. Reciprocity with Cuba affords no adequate remedy for what threatens her Interests. A 20 per cent. reduction in her tariff and ours will do Cuba as a people or a government [ittle or no good while ic will work ~reat harm to the interests of the United States. ‘There was long discussion and fierce op- position to the annexation of Texas—much more, I think, than there will be to an- nexation of Cuba—but it came at last as surely as the annexation of Cuba will come. ‘There is not a loval and true American to be found within the confines of the re- u_.-. who would give up Texas and with- fh a few years after Cuba becomes @ state in our unlon, not an American will be founa willing to part with the Island. —_--_——_ 2 Dispute Over on Unpaid Bill Results in Bloody Tragedy at Her stead, Long Island.

Hazleton, Pa., June 20.—Copies of the following notice were distributed among the striking miners at the Harwood col- liery this morning: With a view of ending what we deem a hopeless and uncalled for strike, an oppor- tunity of resuming work at our Harwood colliery is hereby offered to our employes. Let every Inside man who wants to begin work quietly notify the general Inside fore- man and let every outside man notify the outside foreman, When a mee of our adult inside and outside men 'y their desire to begin work this colliery will be started. Foremen will not make known the names of those applying for work. (Signed) PARDEE & CO. Several hundred strikers stationed along the roads leading to the Drifton colliery of Coxe Bros. & Co. this morn- ing turned back all men who reported for work with the exception of the clerks and the passenger crews of the Dela- ware, Susquehanna & Schuylkill railroad. The strikers and the deputies came to- gether on the Freeland borough line. When Sheriff Jacobs arrived the men dispersed. Ten Thousand Men Idle. Pittsburg, Pa., June 30.—With the final turn last sere the plate glass and window glass industries of the country came to a standstill, the former plants for one and the latter for two months, ort idle an aggregate of 10,000 men, ‘he complete shutdown of the plate glass factories is a condition never before existing in this country. The plate glass men go out through an agreement of producers which the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company insisted upon, thereby forcing the smaller concerns to fall in line. rhe window glass workers, who he last night, are employed in the in- lependent factories, the American Com- pany’s and the Federation Company's employes having quit on May 15. Strikers Return to Work. Pittston, Pa., June 30.—All the strik- ing engineers and pumpmen in this city, about thirty-five in number, seoerted for duty today. The majority of them were given eons but a number were stood aside until the imported men now at work could be provided for in other directions. The firemen refused to join the movement. In this district there are about forty engineers and pump runners still out, but it is believed that before the wis the week they will all be back at work, MEN ORDERED OUY.-. Order Authorizing Strike of Union Pa- cific Machinists Takes Effect. Omaha, Neb., June 30.—The order au- thorizing a strike of all the machinists on the Union Pacifie system went into effect at 10 o'clock this morning. There were few men left to walk out at Omaha and Council Bluffs, however, the ma- chine shops having been closed down Friday night. Nobody except the ma- chinists knew what hour the walkout would occur, and railroad officials were kept in suspense until the men should stop work. No reports were re- ceived from outside shops up to noon, but it is understood that the order issued from the executive committee of the In- ternational Machinists’ Union merely authorized the strike, and that a vote will be taken by local unions before the actual walkout occurs. In Omaha this preliminary step had been taken. There will be about 1700 men affected by the strike. This includes moulders and. boilermakers, who have already struck, those who were locked out and those who are expected to obey the strike order of the machinists’ executive committee. A large meeting of the machinists was in progress during the day at the Labor Temple, behind closed doors. A dispatch received from Cheyenne states that a dozen machinists and their helpers, who remained on duty after the closing of the shops at that pines last week, went on strike today. This makes nearly 700 men who are on strike or are thrown out of eto ploymient by_the closiug of the shops at that point. Reports re- ceived at headquarters state that the ma- chinists at_Grand Island, Neb., and Evanston, Wyo., did not strike. No figures have been received detail- ing the number of men who went out at each shop, but with few exceptions the walkout seems to be general. MAKES GAS FROM AIR. Cleveland Grocer.Makes Discovery Which Promises to Revolutionize the Industrial World. Cleveland, O., June 30.—Henry Soud- er, a erocer at 954 Payne avenue, has made a discovery which bids fair to revolutionize the industrial world and to solve the problem of heat and light. Souder lights with a gas he makes him- self, and he has succeeded’ in interesting such men as Alfred Deforest, secretary of the American Steei and Wire Com- pany; John Van Epps, manager of the Delaware & Hudson Coal Company, and F. H. Green, purchasing agent of the Lake Shore Railroad Company, to back him in the orvanization of a company. How Souder makes the gas is a secret. It is however, taken from air, and is cheaper than coal, wood or oil for fuel. It wil!, it is claimed, displace coal in the firme of locomotives and all steam en- gines, as well as blast furnaces. With a trunk’ * of chemicals, it is said, a. steam- boat could be run from New York to Liverpool. The heat of this gas is sufficient to melt com>er in the open air. It gives off a light that is most brilliant. The grocer is 43 years old. He has been workine on his invention for years. sr ___ GAVE HIMSELF UP.

William Bement Lent of this city, author of "Halcyon Days" and other books, died at his summer home at Norfolk, Conn., aged 60 years. Charles Case Minister, a wealthy mine owner, dropped dead at Seventeenth street and Fourth avenue from heart disease induced by a narrow escape from death beneath the wheels of a trolley car. Commodore E. C. Benedict rescued a party of five young people near Oyster Bay after a squall had broken the mast of their catboat and half filled the boat with water. The boat was the Lobster of the Riverside Yacht Club, owned by Abbott Brush. In the Broad street curb market the other day $21,000 Cuban government 6 per cent. bonds sold at 30 per cent. This is a decline of 10 per cent. in three weeks. The bonds are of the $3,000,000 issue of 1896, signed by Estrada Palma, now president of Cuba. Mrs. Seward Webb is suffering from severe bruises and other injuries received by a fall from a horse at Burlington, Vt. The animal became frightened and bolted, unseating Mrs. Webb. She was rendered unconscious and remained so some time after being removed to her home. The personal estate of Miss Beatrice Goelet, who died on February 11 at about 16 years of age, amounts, according to the official appraisement, to $751,-511. She was a daughter of Robert Goelet, who died on his yacht Nahma off Naples in April, 1899, leaving a large estate. You will be surprised to see how often "veal chops a la milanaise," breaded veal cutlets with tomato sauce, and "roast veal" figure on the bills of fare of New York restaurants just now. This is due to the low price of veal and the high price of beef. The quality of the meat is excellent, too, and the a la carte prices rather reasonable. One of the pleasures of owning a Panama hat to most men is that they are an extravagance. The high price appeals to the imagination. The imitations deceive nobody and humble their owners. What effect the sort of hat advertised by a Broadway hatter will have is hard to determine. His sign reads: "Genuine psuedo Panama hats." After a life of twenty-four hours the tiniest baby in Greater New York is dead. It was a boy, and although perfectly developed in every way weighed only twenty-eight ounces when born. He came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Israel Weissberst. From crown to heel he measured ten inches. A small tea cup fitted him as a hat and his mother's wedding ring made a large bracelet for his tiny wrist. An effort is being made by the police to put a stop to the cry: "Give me a nickel, mister!" that is sounded nightly by professional beggars on Broadway and Fifth avenue. Four policemen have been detailed to devote all their attention to keeping track of the pestiferous mendicants. The men will work in conjunction with the charity organization board, and all information incorporated on the police records. The plan worked well when Roosevelt was police commissioner. Already the motor vehicles for business purposes in use in New York include eight ambulances in use by various hospitals, a truck used by a safe manufacturing company, which has a hoisting attachment under the seats; large furniture vans, a brewery truck which carries fifty half barrels of beer, and over 100 delivery wagons of various sorts. One express company uses motor wagons exclusively for its delivery service. Oscar Darling, a wealthy civil engineer, promoter and inventor, living at Amityville, L. I., was presented the other day by his wife with his twenty-sixth child, a son. The little one has twenty-one brothers and sisters, five of twenty-six having passed away, four in infancy and one after reaching manhood. The father is but 60 years of age. He was twice married. His first wife bore him fourteen, and then he married a blushing belle of but 19 years, who has become the mother of twelve. The annual rose and strawberry show of the Newport Horticultural Society at Newport is of special interest to the summer residents because the exhibits are principally from the greenhouses of the Newport estates, and because of the rivalry between the gardeners to win for their employers the special prizes which are offered. In the present show the greatest interest was in the contest for the silver cup offered by Mrs. Burke-Roche for the best display of roses. The prize was awarded to the display made by Perry Belmont, William Barth, gardener, which consisted of an artistic and effective arrangement of American beauty and bridemaids roses. The second prize was given to the display from Mrs. Robert Goelet's greenhouse, and the third to that from "Beaulieu," occupied by Cornelius Vanderbilt. Mr. Belmont also took the first prize for a group of twenty-five American beauty roses, with the J. J. Van Alen houses second. THE TEST OF THE SKY. Not to Earth's test—to thine, wide-arching sky!— Bright, ruthless sky, in whose thrice-limpid blue The unseen currents, air and fire and dew, Do purify themselves continually; Even to thy test and judgment, all things come; Sky of a thousand storms, A million stars—thou heaven bent o'er all, Limitless, fathomless and inscrutable; Laws, customs, creeds—the fabrics that men rear, Unstayed, unglossed, must meet th' acuser here; the wise Or bind the sumptuous dwellings of the great— Laid bare to wind and sun All crumbling show, worm-cankered and undone. But wisdom shines more clear. Truth even whiter; naught has love to fear. Nor unstained faith, from you broad glances sent glances sent Down the blue gulf and dazzling firmament. Thy face we seek—we, too, thou searching sky. In whose dread vault and glacial bright abyss Winged currents bind the unseen world to this; Whose life renews earth's life perpetually; Not to men's courts—to thine, we also come! Still to the desert lone We steal apart, or mountain waste and high. And wait the solemn verdict of the sky. --Dora Read Goodale in the Atlantic. WHERE A HERO FELL. Near the roadside, one mile north of Greencastle, Pa., stands a stately monument. The shaft, a granite obelisk, reaches a height of twenty-one feet, and rests upon a block of the same material four and one-half feet square. It bears this inscription on the four sides of the base: South—Erected by Corporal Rihl Post, G. A. R., of Greencastle, Pa. East—To the memory of Corporal William H. Rihl, Co. C, First New York (Lincoln) Cavalry, who was killed on this spot June 22, 1863. North—The first Union soldier killed in action in Pennsylvania. West—An humble, but brave defender of the Union. This monument performs a twofold duty. It records an important historical incident of the Civil War—the fall of the first Union soldier north of Mason and Dixon's line; and perpetuates the memory of a hero who sacrificed his life upon his country's altar. Corporal Rihl was, in the best sense of the term, a brave soldier. Friend and foe unite in testifying to his bravery. The courage he displayed entitles him to a high place on the roll of America's heroic dead. I was a Confederate, a member of the force that led the advance into Pennsylvania., and on June 22, 1863, witnessed the fearless behavior of the gallant corporal. With sincere regret I saw him fall, and in that feeling all my comrades shared On the morning of June 22, 1863, Gen. Jenkins' brigade of Virginia cavalry moved from near Hagerstown, Md., to take the position of advance guard to the Confederate army now forming column to move northward. Before midday, and half way from Hagerstown to Greencastle, he passed the most advanced body of infantry, and placed his brigade in the front. This compelled the marching order of the column. The whole army was in motion. The invasion began. The fate of the South hung upon the result of the movement. What would the result be? The answer came at Gettysburg. We were upon hostile soil. The whole North was aroused as never before. Thousands on thousands were gathering to expel us. At any moment we might expect to meet some portion of the Union army. From now on every precaution must be taken to prevent a surprise. To that end Gen. Jenkins sent forward two companies, B and L, of the Fourteenth Virginia cavalry, under Capt. Joseph A. Wilson, with orders to so time their march as to maintain a distance of three miles in front of the brigade. A strong scouting party, flanked by a line of videttes, went in front of all. Our line of march was through a fertile and attractive section. In every direction the prospect was pleasing. There were pastures stretching far away in gentle undulations, clothed in rich, luxuriant verdue, broad acres of bright, golden grain, bending with a ripeness that called for the thrusting in of the sickle, long smooth meadows, beneath burdens of new-mown hay, left spoiling in the swath; neat, substantial and, in many instances elegant dwellings amid delightful environments, but closed and silent. Silence reigned over the whole scene-- the unbroken silence of a holy Sabbath day; for, from the green pastures had been driven flock and herd; the husbandman had quit the harvest and fled for refuge; the affrighted people had abandon their homes, or had barred themselves within, and tremblingly awaited our approach. The day was intensely hot. Frequent short halts were made to give man and beast a breathing spell. One of these halts was made three miles north of Greencastle. So far our march had been without incident of note. Suddenly there came a change! From the front there was heard an irregular "pop! pop! pop!" and, in a whirl of dust, closely pressed by a body of Federal, our scouts burst in view. In a twinkling every trooper was mounted and in place. Both parties were upon us before we were discovered. The Federals wheeled and retreated, answering the shots fired after them. Every rein was grasped; every trooper nerved and leaning forward to catch the word of command; every horse crouching for the spring, and the word of command was passing the lips of the officer, when, with the rumbling of a thunderstorm a regiment of cavalry came tearing from the north upon us. On meeting their retreating scouts, they halted only for a second, and at the command, "Forward! Trot! Gallop! Cha-r-rge." they bounded onward, a solid, irresistible mass. All that we could do was to fall back to a more favorable position, and quickly, too, or else be overriden, crushed, annihilated. On dashed the Federals and "Fours! Rightabout-wheel! Forward! Gallop!" and, off we go, the enemy right at our heels. The race was on. A race for life and death. At the first appearance of the Federals right in their front we noticer a gallant trooper on a dark sorrel. His fearless bravery won the admiration of our whole command. Along the whole course of our retreat this brave fellow exposed himself to the fire of our rear guard. Hundreds of missiles went screaming toward him, but, pistol in hand, and firing as he came, he paid no heed to the danger he invited. Hero though he was, he was rapidly nearing a sad but glorious grave. Through a strip of timber, down the gentle slope, over the depression, up the next rise, past a farmhouse, on to the broad level north of Greencastle, and we came upon Rhodes' Alabama division debouching from the road. Now is our time to strike. With a touch of the spur, Capt. Wilson's horse carries him from the rear, half way up the column and, as the horse bounds forward, the captain's voice rings loud and clear: "Squadron, ha-a-alt! Dismount to fight! Action rea-r-r-r! Quick! Ma-r-reh!" Our horses were led away, and the next minute we were lined up behind a fence almost parallel, with the road. On taking my place in the line I looked to see where the gallant trooper on the sorrel was. He was not at the head of the halted column, and I knew he would not be in the rear of it. I was sure then that he was somewhere along the road just in front of us. the road just in front of us. There was a sound of hoof beats. They grew louder and came nearer, nearer, and— "Look out," called a trooper at my side, "here they come!" And then a head came just above the level—another and another. A step further, and in full sight, not twenty-five yards distant, rode the daring trooper on the sorrel horse with two soldiers at his rear. Click, click, click--three carbines were cocked. I heard a scraping sound as they were thrust between the rails and aimed. Now the trooper on the sorrel rides a step forward, cautiously reconnoitering; and now he turns his eyes in our direction. He sees us and his pistol arm responds to his eye as it is raised; the hammer is up; the eye runs along the barrel; the finger is bent in search of the trigger. Too late, too late! Bang! bang! bang! and the gallant form swayed in the saddle; the rein dropped; the stricken horse reared, leaped forward and shied, and with his pistol still grasped in his hand the heroic William H. Bibl fell into the dust of the road. ta-ta-ta-ta! came the notes of a bugle from the south. I looked to see whence they came. I heard the roaring sound as of a tropical tornado; and, coming on, in platoon formation, that filled the road from edge to edge, was the Fourteenth Virginia Cavalry. ta-ta-ta-ta sounded again, and from a trot that massive column sprang into a sweeping charge, the sabers, in one broad gleam of brilliancy, flew from their scabbards, and, as though urged by some invisible force, they shed onward. Before me, not twenty-five yards away, lay the still form of my fallen foe. I could not endure the thought of seeing his body trampled beneath the iron-shod hoofs of a thousand horses. Springing over the fence, I called a comrade, who saw and felt as I did, and who was with me in a second. Another second and we had crosed the road and lifted the body beyond the reach of the on-rushing regiment. But there had not been a fraction of an instant to spare. Life was not entirely extinct, and I rested the hero's on my knee, while kind-hearted James Eubank endeavored to pour a cooling drop of water from his canteen through the bloodless lips. But, as the first drop fell, there was a straightening of the limbs, a heavy broken sigh, the form quivered, became rigid, and the courageous Rihl was dead. Gently we laid his on the grass. Tenderly we crossed his hands upon his breast. And, reverently covering his face with his hat, we turned sadly, silently from him and left him to that sleep that knows no waking—as true, as brave, as noble a hero as ever fought in defense of his country.—New York Daily News. TURNS THEM TO STONE. Limewater Has This Effect on Bodies Long Buried. Human bodies buried in limestone countries are often turned to solid stone by the limewater which penetrates the graves. In other soils there are elements which sometimes so embalm the buried dead as to preserve form and features unchanged. Many such cases are on record. Robert Burns' body was disinterred in 1815 to be removed to a new tomb. To the surprise of all his friends the features were found to be as perfect as at burial. When the body of John Hampden, the famous English patriot and leader, was disinterred by Lord Nugent 200 years after burial the form and features were as unchanged as if the corpse had been recently laid in the grave. Raise Your Salary. Most men who work for a salary cherish the belief that they are not getting enough pay to fit either their needs or their deserts. They delight in whispering confidentially, over their cigars and whisky, that their employers are becoming rich while the real brains of the business, the real money-making power in the house, is none other than their humble selves, poor slaves that they are, toiling for others' gain. As the pile of cigar ashes grows and the contents of the bottles lessen these oppressed beings become pathetic in their complainings. They tell of their employers, riding about in swift, luxurious automobiles, while the unknown underlings, to wit, themselves, struggle along on a pittance, dodging bill collectors, pinched by poverty, unhonored and unsung. "If we only had twenty or fifty dollars more each month," they say, "we could be comfortable." Any one of these disconcerted gentry can add from 20 to 50 per cent. to his salary without asking his employer's leave. All he need do is cut off his whisky and cigars and cease feeding his other vices, if he has any. But none of these gentry ever thinks of taking such means to increase his income. Genius such as his cannot be required to economize, and it seldom does.—San Francisco Bulletin. Feats of Insects. There is a certain little fly that was observed to run three inches and make in doing it 440 steps—all in one-half a second of time. To equal this, in proportion to his size, a man would have to run at the rate of twenty miles a minute. The common flea leaps 200 times its own length. To show like agility a man six feet tall would have to leap a distance of 1200 feet. The cheese mite is about one-quarter of an inch in length, yet it has been seen to take the tip of its tail in its mouth and then, letting go with a jerk, to leap out of a vessel six inches in depth. To equal this a man would have to jump out of a well from a depth of 144 feet. A well-known student of nature once tried the growing force of a squash. When it was eighteen days old and measured twenty-seven inches in circumference he fixed a sort of harness around it, with a long lever attached. The power of the squash was measured by the weight it lifted, the weight being fixed to the lever. When it was twenty days old, two days after the harness was fixed on it, it lifted sixty pounds. On the nineteenth day it lifted 5000 pounds.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Syrian Asphalt. Asphalt is found in the provinces of Syria on the banks of the Dead sea, floating on the surface of its waters. Through the action of earthquakes the asphalt has been torn from the bottom of the sea and driven toward the shores, especially to the east. The narratives of the Greek and Roman historian to the effect that asphalt as small islands was upheld by the salt water and driven over the surface of the sea are without doubt true. This asphalt, and generally the oriental or Egyptian, is pure and expensive, and used principally in the manufacture of a certain kind of varnish, but for general purposes, owing to its brittleness as well, is useless in the asphalt industry.—American Asphalt Journal. WOODARD HOUSE HEIR APPARENT. THE LORD OF THE RING Doctors Consider the Disease Essentially One for the Surgeon. It is generally agreed among the members of the medical profession of America that appendicitis is a surgical disease; that is, one that generally arrives at a stage where the removal of the vermiform appendix becomes imperative. It is agreed also that science has made great progress toward an understanding of the disease. When arrested at its inception the disease yields readily to treatment, but when attention to it is delayed the infection extends to the surrounding tissue and chances for fatal results are largely increased. Vermiform appendix means "wormlike appendix," and the name is suggestive of the form of the organ. It is described in medical works as "a blind tube about as thick as an ordinary lead pencil and varying from three to six, and even more, inches in length, attached to the rear of the caecum," which is the name applied to the beginning of the large intestine. The appendix is somewhat erratic in its position, and one of the dangers of the operation to remove it is the difficulty in locating it. Generally the affection is indicated by pain and tenderness in the right side of the abdomen opposite the upper portion of the hip, but surgical experience has taught that the point of tenderness, as located by pressure on the abdomen, is not always indicative of the position of the affected part. The appendix is poorly supplied with blood from a single artery, and is of low vitality. When in health in the adult it is apparently without function. Appendicitis may be caused by an injury or overexertion, but generally it results from the introduction of some foreign substance into this little tube, which becoming imbedded there, produces irritation. When such irritation is present it makes the interior of the tube the swarming ground of bacteria, which migrate into the tissues and cause the trouble. Dr. J. Coplin Stinson of San Francisco in a recent article tells of some of the foreign bodies that have been found in the appendix either during operation or post mortem investigation. In one case 122 bird shot were found in the appendix of a man who in life had experienced no discomfort from their presence. Pins, pieces of bones, bits broken from the teeth, cherry stones, apple pits, bits of grass or straw from a broom, oat husks, date seeds, and kindred articles are common irritants. In many cases persons have recovered from the first attack of appendicitis without the aid of an operation and have never been troubled again, but in general such recovery is followed at intervals of more or less frequency by other attacks, and each recurring attack makes an operation more imperative. This operation, if performed in time, and without accident, is not considered dangerous. The fatalities resulting are mostly in cases similar to that described as having prevailed with King Edward, where the infection had extended from the appendix to the caecum and to the peritonium, producing peritonitis.—Chicago Tribune. SUMMER CUSHION COMFORTS. The Washable Cover a Convenience-Other Suggestions. The washable sofa pillow cover, made with buttons and buttonholes so that it may be easily removed, will be found a great convenience and a great comfort, particularly for the summer cottage, where the soft pillows must do duty not only in the house but also on the piazza. These covers may be made of figured chintz, organdy, cretonne, dimity or checked linen. If something particularly dainty is required they may be made of white lawn with deep ruffles and outlined in embroidery stitch. Green and white or pink and white gingham in small unbroken checks make pretty covers if the alternate squares are worked in spider webs with double cross stitch, says the Ladies' Home Journal. Still daintier washable covers may be made from the dotted dimities which come now in such delicate colors. Three yards will make a ruffled cover at an expense of a little over 30 cents. Half a dozen of these covers would make a pretty gift for the summer bride. Pine, hop, clover and balsam pillows are all very soothing and comforting when one is weary. The clover blooms for the pillows may be gathered and dried upon a sheet in the shade, being turned constantly until they are quite dry, then put in a cover of strong calico, over which the washable cover of something which suggests coolness and summer may be slipped. The pine pillows are made by picking off the terminal buds and the needles and filling the pillow with them as with down. The pine needles are aromatic and pillows made from them are said to be conducive to sleep. Neither pine nor balsam pillows should be filled too full. Why Our Girls are Getting Braver.

Our students are encouraged to play basket ball, hockey, tennis, golf, and tether ball; also to swim, and to ride horseback and on bicycles. In the spring we have our match games in basket ball. Our out-of-door games tend, moreover, to develop a spirit of generosity, endurance, and fortitude. These last three considerations are very strong ones in favor of the rough sports. For instance, a pupil came to me the other day with a very badly hurt thumb, which I noticed although she said nothing about it. She had hurt it playing hockey, but she did not seem to think it was anything at all. Ten years ago, a college woman would have considered it a rather serious injury. Surely no one can consider incidents like that without realizing all they stand for, and what they will mean in the future lives of college women.-Louisa Smith in Success. THOSE LOVERS' QUARRELS. Tis Very Easy to Find a Subject for Difference—Don't be Jealous. Shun them as you would the smallpox, flee from them as you would from some deadly cobra; forget all the nonsense you ever read or heard about the joys of making up; remember the older story of the fox without a tail. The longer you can keep from quarreling the less likely you will be to start. Every impulse which passes through the brain makes a path for similar impulses to quarrel—first a bridle-track, then a lane, last a highway. That is why the little tiff grows into a misunderstanding, and the misunderstanding into a real ugly quarrel, and every time one or other of the pair is put out the angry words come more glibly. It's absurd, when you come to think of it, how very easy it is to find things to quarrel about, says a writer in Woman's Life. You only need to be a little self-opinionated, a trifle vain, not very sympathetic, and you can get up a real old row over the merest trifle. But it is very undignified to quarrel. Anger generally makes people go red in the face, and it always makes them feel very ill—philosophers say it generates a definite poison which circulates through the blood. Now, is it worth while poisoning yourself because Romeo does not turn up to take you to the theater precisely at the hour he said he would? Is it a sensible thing to say to yourself all the while you are waiting: "He has met some other girl and is talking to her. He never considers me. I will give it to him when he does come!" Or perhaps he does not agree with you about something—something near and dear to your heart. It's hard, and it may make you feel that he isn't your twin soul at all. Only don't tell him so, brutally. Wait a while and try and find out When you feel very angry with him, when you just ache to sit down and write the fatal words, "I never wish to see you again as long as I live!"—think think hard how it would feel if he took you at your word. Sleep on it—not one night but three. If you quarrel, it means either separation or misery for a time. Probably, too, the doing of reckless things to drown the ache which both of you will regret. It takes two to quarrel. Never be number two. Avoid delicate topics, don't fancy slights, don't be exacting—nothing makes a man worse tempered than to feel his independence is being cut away from him—above all, don't be jealous of his friends, his books, his hobbies, his work, his old sweethearts.—New Orleans Piscayne. Animal, Vegetable and Mineral Hash. A piece of shoestring served in high during the Confederate reunion at Dalals, Tex., was the cause of the death of Alfred Hobgood, a Civil War veteran at Oxford who attended the reunion.

Railroads are the great civilizers, for they give the settler as well as the manufacturer equal opportunity to work in undeveloped fields, thereby rapidly settling the country and bringing forth its undiscovered riches. Northern Wisconsin is rich in iron ore, clay, kaolin, marl, timber and fine farm lands. It has made many a settler independent and added to the wealth of manufacturers who have sought this territory. Opportunities have not passed, as there is still a generous supply of land which can be obtained at low figures and on easy terms. THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL RY.

MEMORIES OF THE WAR "The first time I ver heard guns fired in earnest," said the old soldier, "was in a storm at sea; from troops on a transport that was foundering. There were a lot of troops, twenty thousand or so, on vessels, bound on an expedition down the coast. Besides the transports, there were a lot of naval vessels of all sorts. And then there were some vessels in tow, with supplies and subsistence stores. The steamer that my regiment was aboard had a ship in tow. Altogetehr it was a fleet of fifty vessels or more. We went along down the coast slow and easy, so as to keep together—no use of getting there piecemeal, because nothing could be done till all were there—and so as to accommodate the slower boats and those that were towing others. "We had one day of bad weather that finally worked up into a storm. There was a high sea all day, and the ship we had in tow charged over it at a great rate. Sometimes when the steamer's nose was in a valley, and her stern in the air, looking astern from her after deck you couldn't see the lower masts of the ship we were towing. All you could see was her topmasts and to'gallantmasts and upper yards. The ship was out of sight in the valley. Next minute the steamer's bow would be in the air and her stern buried, and then looking at the ship, as she rose up on a great wave behind us, you could see her forefoot. A minute later the steamer's stern would be in the air again, and the ship would be sliding down the face of the wave into the valley. It seemed as though it was about the limit of towing, and I almost wondered they didn't cut her loose. "As the day went on the weather got worse and night shut in early, with the sky overcast and the wind blowing a gale, the sea rougher than ever, and vessels all around us rolling and tossing. We had heard once or twice, just before dark, when the blasts of wind had let up a little, sounds of firing to windward, and we knew there must be a vessel there in distress. After nightfall we could see in the distance the flash of the guns; the volley firing of men apparently drawn up in line on the deck. It wasn't our place to help them; there were many vessels nearer. They had all the help it was possible to give them. We learned later that nearly all on the vessel were saved. There were about twenty-five lost. "When we came on deck on our ship the next morning we saw something that interested us very much; the upper part of the after chimney—the steamer had two smokestacks, ranging fore and aft—had been carried away completely, and it lay on deck over on the port side of the ship. On the starboard side, aft, a boat hanging on davits had been smashed, and the steamer's rail cut down to the deck. This damage had been done by the ship we had in tow. Her jibboom had poked off the upper sections of the smokestack and her cutwater had smashed the boat and cut down the rail. According to the story aboard, we had occasion in the night to back. The story was that there were breakers ahead. When we went astern the ship kept coming, and came aboard of us on the starboard quarter. They cut her loose as soon as they could, and the men on the ship made sail on her. She hadnt' done us very much damage—I have sometimes wondered what would have happened if she had struck us a little harder blow. "We went on easily enough with one long and one short chimney. We were going slow, and we didn't need the draught that we lost through the cutting down of one of them. We didn't pick the ship up again, but we saw her a few days later, at our port of destination, trim and all right. It hadn't disturbed her to be cut loose in the storm; in fact, I have no doubt that she liked it much better to be permitted to make her own way."—True Flag. The Hero's Grave. "I don't reckon as we could find it at this late day, nohow." "Find what, Uncle Ted?" "Jimmy Dare's grave. Jimmy Dare, the hero o' Shiloh—one o' the heroes." "Who was he? What did he do? Tell me about him." "Why, la me! What's such lads as you know about war and so on. 'Twas in your father's time—yes, in your grandfather's, even." "You see, Jimmy an' me were chums from boyhood, an' I reckon 'bout the only thing we ever did differ in was our sweethearts; an' when the war broke out we was among the fust volunteers from our section, jined the same company, and marched days an' days together, hungry sometimes, but oftener tired an' sleepy. Oh, me, but war is dreadful! Jimmy never got back to the old home nor his lassie, Nettie Ray; and here I am without my good right arm—a sleeve empty, an' a crippled leg besides; la, la—but we fought in a glorious cause, an' we come out victors." "But Jimmy, Uncle Ted?" "Jimmy? Why, that's who I'm a talkin' 'bout. Jimmy, you see, was a fair-haired boy, an' as I often fancied sort o' chicken-hearted. Shows what a fool I was, that's all. "Jimmy, he an' me kept together for a time, went foragin', and I must say he could jist cook a chicken or turkey beautiful; he'd white hands like a woman, yes, an' curls, yellow curls. "The battle where he fell was at Shiloh; somehow we'd got separated, an' in the midst o' that fearful slaughter I saw close to me our colonel, a man we all loved, who had a beautiful wife an' baby, as we all knew. One o' the rebs leaped forward and was jist goin' to lay out our colonel, when up flew his arm an' he fell dead from Jimmy's shot. Then other Confederates sprang at us, and we had a lively time, and we all fought like tigers. Ah, me! ah, me!" "Was Jimmy killed then?" "Jimmy? Oh, fust thing I knew our colonel was down, wounded in the breast, as we found afterward. Jimmy bent over him, lifted him in his arms—in his left arm, for he still fought with his right—an' he sung out to me, gay an' cheerful: "Cover me, Ted, the best you can. I'm takin' the colonel to his wife an' baby." "I tried to save him. I think they found out then the mettle in my good right arm; they'd ought to, fur they shot it away in less than ten minutes. "I begun to back out after that. I felt sort o' weak; an' as I went I wondered if Jimmy got away with the colonel. I had left the hottest o' the fray; there was just then re-enforcements, an' on I stumbled over dead an' dying, myself most dead with pain an' loss o' blood. "As I went on slowly like, I saw a slender, boyish form, a head o' yellow curls, among which was a crimson mass an'—an' that was Jimmy." "Oh, yes; killed by a ball, but I couldn't see the colonel nowhere. So as I went away, where my arm got a little attention, I found that the colonel had been assisted off the battlefield by his own wife an' servant, who, sure enough, was lookin' for him. "That's the story o' my boyhood's chum; that's the reason old maid Miss Ray never married, an' I reckon you don't wonder I wished we knew where his grave was, so as we could cover it over with flowers?" "I wish we could, Uncle Ted, but—with a tender smile—"the heroes are not all dead. Seems to me we've got one in our own family, eh?" "Tut, tut; I only did my duty, that's all, that's all; but, Jimmy was a hero, true blue."—American Tribune. Origin of Army Leggings. "I don't believe that one soldier out of a thousand knows what caused this government to adopt leggings in the army," said a member of the G. A. R. "During the Civil War leggings were not known in this country. The soldiers wore stockings, and when marching through mud they would pull their stockings over their pants. "In this way stockings took the place of leggings during the entire war. Each soldier usually had two pairs of stockings, and he utilized one of these as coverings for his trousers when he struck deep mud. Then, after the march had been ended, he would pull off the stockings, put on a clean pair, and wash the old ones. The stockings always protected his trousers from the mud. "It was some time after the war that leggings were adopted in the army, and it is my opinion that they came as a direct result of the stockings scheme, which the boys of '61 invented. "Many similar conveniences which we now have grew out of that fight. For instance, there is roasted coffee. Before the war roasted coffee could not be had on the market. During the rebellion the government roasted its coffee and sent it to the men. After the rebellion had ended enterprising merchants put roasted coffee on the market and made a mint of money out of it. "Before the days of the war desiccated food was unknown in this country. The government sent barrels of dried vegetables to the soldiers, and at first they were laughed at. I remember that the men in my company took the dried food and threw it away, ridiculing the idea that it was fit to eat. There were some German soldiers in the company, however, who quietly gathered up the vegetables, and that evening a most tempting odor of viands proceeded from their tent. The boys investigated and found that Germans had stewed the dried vegetables and made an appetizing dish out of them. Thus war, as well as peace, teaches us a few things about what to wear and what to eat."—Chicago Inter Ocean. Monument to John Burns. A monument to John Burns, the citizen hero of the battle of Gettysburg, has just been erected by the State of Pennsylvania. It is situated in the open fields near Reynolds' woods on the western ridge of the first day's field. It was here that John Burns won renown. The monument shows a bronze figure of heroic size standing on a great boulder of battlefield granite. On the face of the boulder is the following inscription: "My thanks are specially due to a citizen of Gettysburg named John Burns, who, although over 70 years of age, shouldered his musket and offered his services to Colonel Wister, One Hundred and Fiftieth Pennsylvania Volunteers. Colonel Wister advised him to fight in the woods, as there was more shelter there. But he preferred to join our line of skirmishers in the open fields. When the troops retired he fought with the Iron Brigade. He was wounded in three places.—Gettysburg Report of Major General Doubleday." Down to the year 1876 Krupp had delivered to various European nations over 15.000 cannon. THE HOUSEHOLD The washing machine shown in the illustration seems to have the faculty of cleaning the clothes without subjecting them to the harsh treatment usual in an apparatus of this character, as the pounders are so attached to the operating shaft as to yield readily when any large mass of clothing is encountered, instead of forcing their way through the pile and, perhaps, tearing the garments. The plungers which carry the pounder heads are connected with the actuating shaft by curved springs, instead of being joined rigidly, and are thus disposed to yield under pressure when the obstruction is NEWEST WASHING MACHINE. too great for them to force into the suds. The inner surface of the tub is covered with corrugated metal, so shaped that the plunger heads come in contact with the front edge first and scrub the clothes down the inclined surface until the bottom is reached. It will thus be seen that the rotation of the actuating shaft by the crank wheel will subject the wash to practically the same motion that it would receive if scrubbed by hand over a board. The machine is conveniently shaped for handling the washing and its weight is not much greater than that of the ordinary tubs used on washday. The inventor is H. A. Robinson of Port Huron, Mich. Chocolate Cream Peppermint Wafers. Use the ready-made peppermint wafers, not crystallized, to be found in almost any candy store. Melt down a cake of "Medallion" full vanilla, sweet chocolate. As soon as the chocolate becomes soft but not thin, dip or roll the plain peppermint wafers in it, one at a time, with a three-tined steel fork; drop them in regular rows across a sheet of buttered manila paper or wax paper and set them in a cool room to dry and harden. The other wafers of the cream sort, wintergreen, maple, coffee and the like, may be treated in like manner. Stewed Rhubarb. Wash the rhubarb, peel it and cut into pieces one inch long. Rhubarb should always be cooked in a double boiler. Put in two tablespoonfuls of cold water and one quart of cut rhubarb. Let this cook until the rhubarb is soft, and sweeten to taste. Some persons do not like the full flavor of the rhubarb, and add two cupfuls of water to render it less sharp. When this is done more sugar should be added. Tomatoes Stuffed with Meat. Plunge ten tomatoes into boiling water for an instant, peel off the skin and let them get cold. Cut the tops off and scoop out the inside, which put into the chopping bowl with a cup of cold meat and one-half a cup of bread crumbs. Chop all together, add salt and pepper, and fill the tomatoes with this mixture. Put a small piece of butter on the top and put them into the oven to get hot. Serve on slices of toast. Browned Potatoes. Boil and mash a quart of potatoes; moisten with boiled milk. Beat separately the white and yolk of an egg; add the yolk to the potato, and a little salt. Whisk the white to a froth and add, just before putting in the oven. Put the mixture in a large soup plate and bake fifteen minutes; serve as soon as taken from the oven. Lemon Pudding. To three pints boiling milk add one tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in cold milk, the juice and grated rind of two lemons, three tablespoons sugar and a lump of butter. Stir contsantly till thick, remove from fire, add four well-beaten eggs. Turn into molds. Serve ice cold with cream and sugar. Notes for Housewives. Ripe tomatoes will remove ink and other stains from white cloth; also from the hands. For burns, equal parts of white of egg and olive oil will prevent blisters if applied at once. Children will relish the morning cereal that contains dates, figs or even prunes as a relief from its sameness. To clarify sugar break it into a copper pan and to each pound allow two gills of water. Place on the stove and gradually allow it to boil. Carefully remove the scum as it rises, now throw in an additional half pint of water and allow it to boil again. Skim very thoroughly and strain through muslin. Silk pocket handkerchiefs should be washed by themselves. Put them to soak in cold water for an hour or two, afterward washing them, soaping them as they are washed. Wash a second time, if necessary. Then rinse in cold soft water containing a handful of salt, and rinse again in water containing a little bluing. CENTRAL HOUSE CHAS. McCULLEY, Manager.

GIRL 1S BADLY BURNED, ‘Clara Miller Has Narrow Escape from Death. ‘WAUKESHA HOTEL FIRE She was Lowered from Third Story Win- dow to Ground When Escape is Cut Off. . Waukesha, Wis., July 1.—[Special.]— Clara Miller, a domestic in the employ of Valentine & Tiller, who run a hotel on Madison street, narrowly escaped be- ing burned to death last night. The ho- tel took fire, a curtain blowing onto a lamp. The girl was in bed, but was awakened by the smell of smoke and arising opened her door which led into the room in which the fire started. The flames rushed through the door and ig- nited the woman’s night dress. Miss Miller sereamed and Mr. Tiller, who was near by, rushed to her assistance. He beat out the flames and finding that es- cape was cut off by the doorway, rushed to the window. The girl's room was on the third floor. As Mr. Tiller looked out of the window he saw a boarder leaning out of a window directly under where he was standing. He called to the man and then lowered the unconscious girl to the boarder, who grasped her in his arms and then in turn lowered her to the ground, where she lay until medical aid could be summoned. In the meantime Mr. Tiller started to fight the fire. The department soon ar- rived and the flames were subdued with chemicals. The loss is $56, covered by insurance. The girl is badly burned about her face, neck and breast, but will recover. THREE PIONEERS OF GREEN BAY, Mrs, A. M. Marshall, Mrs. E. S. Martin and Thomas McLean Have Passed Away.

Oshkosh, Wis., July. 1.—In_ connty court a_ decision was handed down by Judge Cleveland which practically de- clares the state game and fish law to be unconstitutional, The case in which the decision was made was that of the state of Wisconsin against P. B. Le Fever and William Rogers. The defendants were charged with interfering with a deputy game warden, William Raeth of Mil- waukee, while in search of alleged il- legally caught fish on board the boat Le Fever. The decision signifies that that part of the law is unconstitutional which permits game wardens to enter upon a public conveyance and search for sus- pected game or fish without due process of law or without proper documents for so doing. ——_—_-____ SEEK CHICAGO MAN.

Caroline Bell was married to James B. Doolittle in the early ’50s in the stone mansion built by her grandfather, Bell, at Windham, Greene county, N. Y. Her grandfather was an English Quaker and, being opposed to war, came to the United States rather than be pressed into the manufacturing of implements of war, he having a factory for the manu- facture of steel instruments, for the use of surgeons.

A Good Tonic. Pe-ru-na is a natural and efficient nerve tonic. It strengthens and restores the activity of every nerve in the body. Through the use of Pe-ru-na the weakened or overworked nerves resume their natural strength and the blood vessels begin at once to regulate the flow of blood according to nature's laws. Congestions immediately disappear. Catarrh Cured. All phases of catarrh, acute or chronic, are promptly and permanently cured. It is through its operation upon the nervous system that Pe-ru-na has attained such a world-wide reputation as a sure and reliable remedy for all phases of catarrh wherever located. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice free. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O. Scotch Regalia Ring. The traditional history of the Scotch regalia ring is of the most tragic, not to say melancholy, character. It is believed that it was the favorite ring of Mary Stuart, and that, after her judicial murder in Fotheringay cactle, it was transmitted to her son. From James it descended to Charles I, at whose coronation at Scone in 1633 it played a distinct part. Once more did this ill-fated ring figure at an untimely and ill-merited death; for, with almost his last breath upon the scaffold at Whitehall, Charles bequeathed it to Bishop Juxon in trust for his son. In due course of time the ring came into the possession of James II, and was carried away with him on his flight to the continent. When, however, he was detained by the fishermen at Sheerness, the ring, which had been secreted in the King's underclothing, only escaped robbery by the luckiest of mistakes on the part of the sailor who searched him. Thus the ring was passed on uninjured to James' descendants, till, by the bequest of Cardinal York, it became the property of the reigning dynasty once more, and was by them replaced among the royal jewels of Scotland, from which it had been separated for many a long year.—Good Words. Taking a Man Unawares. Bland, Mo., June 30th.-F. B. Crider describes very graphically how he was overtaken by an enemy and his narrow escape.

"I began treatment at once and used one medicine after another, but without help, till at last I was just about to give up in despair. "Just then I heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills and bought a few boxes and began to take them. They helped me from the first and now I am completely cured. "Dodd's Kidney Pills is the only medicine that ever did me any good. They are worth their weight in gold." Are Naughty. Too.

"Speaking of practical jokes," said a man from Texas, "reminds me of a little thing that happened a few years ago in one of the more prosperous young towns of the big state. There was a big religious revival going on at the time, and it was being conducted by one of the most noted evangelists of the country. Sam Jones was the man, and he was stirring things up in that section of the world. The town was wrought up over his sayings. One day he found himself in possession of a bottle of good old wine, which had been sent to him as an evidence of good faith in a profession made by some man who had decided to quit the rum habit. Same Jones had no use for the wine. In a jocular way he presented the wine to the newspaper crown, telling the boys they might manage to get a little inspiration out of it. One of the boys, in writing a little skit about the thing, said Mr. Jones had given the wine to the boys of the press, and had incidentally mentioned the fact that buttermilk was his favorite drink. The little town was the hub of the buttermilk belt. Enough milk was produced in that part of Texas to float the American navy. The newspaper notice had a marvelous effect. It brought forth the buttermilk, and it came in all sorts of quantities to the hotel where the evangelist was stopping. Buckets, bottles and cans and utensils of almost every kind were left at the eating place for the Georgian. Milk bells were ringing and milk wagons were rolling up to the place during all the day. I never saw as much buttermilk in my life. Sam Jones, if he had lived to be as old Methuselah, could not have consumed the quantity of milk which had been hauled, carried and 'toted' to the hotel by Texans who read the little squib in the newspaper about buttermilk being the favorite drink of the evangelist. Sam Jones was somewhat annoyed by the thing at first, but the funny part of the situation dawned on him, and, appreciating the good spirit of the offering, he got a deal of fun out of it all. It was a good practical joke and yet altogether unintended, for the newspaper man never dreamed of the consequences.—New Orleans Times-Democrat. POISONED BY COPPER. Japanese Mining District Being Decimated by the Deadly Mineral. The fight between the capitalist and the workingman has begun in Japan with a tragedy worthy to be treated by the pen of a great dramatist. The Ashio copper mine, the property of Mr. Furukuwa, a Japanese millionaire, is one of the greatest copper mines in the world, employing over 12,000 men. This mine has been affecting thousands of acres of once fertile land, ruining the crops, poisoning the domestic animals and undermining the health of a large population. All attempts to obtain redress for the people have failed, despite the fact that the cause of the sufferers has been championed by Mr. Tanaka, a member of Parliament, who has caused scenes of almost insane violence in the diet by his attempts to obtain what he considers justice for the people. Tanaka even went the extreme length—for a Japanese of attempting, in December last, personally to place a petition on the subject in the hands of the Eperor while that ruler was returning to the palace after opening the diet. The tragedy was deepened a short time ago by the suicide of the millionaire mine owner's wife. She, unfortunate lady, had gone mad and had been under observation some time before her act of self-destruction, which took place in a ditch by the roadside under the most distressing circumstances. The millionaire himself is now seriously ill, and the doctors will not allow any newspapers to be brought into his room, owing to the fact that they frequently contain references to the awful state of things at Ashio. It is singular that little or no sympathy is extended to the sufferers by the press of by the public. The newspapers generally side with the multimillionaire and pour contempt and ridicule on the decimated people and on the one or two generous publicists who have taken their part. The government organs and the ministers talk glibly of the impossibility of checking the poisoning all at once, and neglect taking any action for checking it at all by promising to appoint commissioners of inquiry, although one commission, which numbered among its members some of the oldest scientists in Japan, has already sent in a report which discloses the existence at Ashio of an awful state of things.—Tokio Letter in the Chicago News. Status of a Mother-in-Law. The status of a former mother-in-law in a house in which a new wife has been installed has been handled with rare courage by Judge Holden, in an Illinois court. William Giese had been three times a widower. The mother of two of his wives—they were sisters—was living with him when he took his fourth wife. She objected to the supernumerary mother-in-law, and shortly left her husband's home, writing him this letter: "Dear Papa: I did not have any thought of leaving you. I am only gone. I will no longer live with your mother-in-law. As soon as you have a home for me you can let me know, and I will come back to you. Up to the time you get a home you must support me. But with a strange woman I will not live." Later she brought action for separate maintenance, and failed, Judge Holden explicating the legal situation in this humane fashion: "A man has a right to keep a mother-in-law in his house, just as he has a right to keep a dog. If the dog does not bite, his wife cannot complain because he keeps it in the house, and it is the same with an ex-mother-in-law—that is, the mother of a former wife. If she doesn't harm anybody, the last wife has no grounds for complaint. I'll dismiss the bill for want of equity." Off with His Head. Of all oriental races there are none more callous and indifferent to human life than the Moors. A traveler who has recently returned from Morocco related the following anecdote in proof of this fact: The grandfather of the present Sultan was one day boating on the lake in the gardens of the palace, the boat, by the way, being a small steam launch given him by Queen Victoria. By some accident the vessel capsized and the Sultan and two of his wives, by whom he was accompanied, were thrown into the water. A soldier on guard in a part of the palace out of view heard the cries, and running up, sprang into the water and rescued the Sultan's favorite wife, the ruler himself scrambling out unaided. Later in the day the soldier was sent for and presented himself joyfully before his monarch, convinced that his reward would be great. "You are the soldier who rescued the delight of my eyes?" quoth the Sultan. The soldier bowed. "Did you dare to look at her?" "I did, your highness," replied the soldier, taken off his guard. The Sultan turned to an officer, murmured a few words and a moment later the soldier was on his way to the headsman. That was his reward!—Family Herald. Hundreds of Dollars for a Spoon. erty of the late William Boore of 54 Strand, sold recently at Christie's. Its name is derived from the following inscription on the stem: "Rd. in Ao. 1665, when dyed at London of the Plague 68, 596—of all Diseas 97,306." It was sold for £128. A pair of Commonwealth spoons by the same maker went for £132; a large Charles I. spoon, dated 1634, for £52; an Elizabethan seal-top for £39, and a Tudor "Maidenhead" spoon for £45. There were in the collection numerous early English "Apostle" spoons, of which the most important was a set of thirteen of the reign of James I. and Charles I., the nimbus of each molded with the Dove, the St. John, the St. Jude, the St. Philip, the St. Bartholomew, the St. James-the-Less, the St. Simon Zelotes, the St. James-the-Greater, the St. Thomas, the St. Andrew, and two other spoons. The set realized £480, the purchaser being Mr. Roe—Pall Mall Gazette. ENGLAND'S DYNASTY. Is Edward of the House of Hanover or of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha? In the person of King Edward VII. have we the first member of a new British dynasty, or have we not? Are we still ruled by the house of Hanover, or by that of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha? According to the new Almanach de Gotha, whose editors ought to know, the latter is the case, though in Mr. Stead's "Kings and Queens of England," Edward VII. is put down as a member of the "House of Hanover." There are a few genealogical authorities who argue stoutly that he is right, maintaining that "sovereignty swamps paternity," and that no case can be quoted, out of our own history, at least, of the son of a female reigning sovereign who did not belong to the dynasty of his mother, and that the blood relationship between a new monarch and his predecessor must be much more remote before it can be said that he establishes a new race of rulers. We notice that in the catalogue of royal portraits at the New Gallery, Edward VII. is given as "the first sovereign of the house of Saxe-Coburg, or Wettin." A correspondent writes: "There can be little doubt that, in espousing the former view, even so great an authority as the Almanach de Gotha is wrong. In view of the fact that female succession is the royal law of the country, it is clear that the house of Hanover has not been supplanted by that of Saxe-Coburg any more than the house of Hapsburg was followed in Austria by the house of Lorraine when a prince of the latter married Maria Theresa. Her son and successor, Joseph II., did not found a new Austrian dynasty of Lorraine, but continued that of the Hapsburgs. Similarly does any one suppose that if Philip II. of Spain had married Mary of England, her son, if she had left one, would have been the first of a Hapsburg dynasty in England? Certainly not. Then, again, to return to our own time, suppose the present Queen of Holland were to die and leave a son and successor, he certainly would not be called the founder of a Mecklenburg dynasty in the Netherlands, but only the prolonger of the house of Orange-Nassau in the female line. The analogy is perfect with regard to ourselves and rules out of court the editor of the Almanach de Gotha with his theory of a Saxe-Coburg dynasty succeeding to that of Hanover in England.—London Chronicle. FORBIDDEN NEGATIVES. The Routine Followed in Taking Pictures of Royalty. The routine of taking royal photographs is something like this: The photographer, in the first place, must be a man of established reputation, and as probably several are writing at once each gets a sitting in turn. The reply makes a regular appointment, say at Marlborough house, Sandringham or Windsor, and on the day appointed the artist attends with his apparatus and one or two assistants. After a few minutes' wait in an outer room he is conducted into the presence of the royal personage, whose personal attendants have seen to it that everything is in readiness for the taking of the photograph in the room. Most royal personages, particularly our King, are experienced sitters, thanks to the enormous number of times they have been photographed, and the actual operation is very quickly over. Next comes the developing of the negative, the "retouching," and when at last the proof is ready it is taken to the palace by the photographer for royal sanction. You would be amazed if you knew the number of condemned negatives, for the slightest suspicion of lack of dignity or frivolous appearance is enough to condemn the negative to the shelves of the studio forever. Very rarely indeed is one of our royal family photographed smiling, much less laughing, though the well-known portrait of her last majesty Queen Victoria was a very conspicuous exception to this rule. That, however, was a snapshot taken by an amateur. Some years ago a photograph was taken of Princess Maud of Wales, who, just as the exposure was being made, laughed heartily at some remark her sister had made, and the resulting picture was instantly condemned by our present Queen. —Pearson's Weekly. Swamp Wild Flowers. Leaving the roadsides and the pastures for the meadows, the bogs and the cool retreats of the swamps wherein Nature so often hides her rarest and most precious treasures, hopes are high, for what may they not contain? In the moist meadows and along the edge of the swamps the yellow or field avens is replacing the marsh marigold. The middle of June is not too early to look where the meadow is rich and moist for that strikingly handsome orchid, the early purple-fringed orchid. The cow parsnip is there also, says Country Life in America. Where the meadows are low and on the edges of the swamp the grasspink or calopogen, a fairly common orchid, and the monkey flower are in bloom. A shy denizen of the more secluded parts of the swamp is the fragrant rose or sweet-scented pogonia, sometimes called snake-mouth, a charming member of the orchid family. Still another orchid, rare and solitary and a lover of the deep swamp, is the showy lady's slipper. The small, pale green orchid and the fringed green orchid delight in cool bogs. Deliciously sweet and fragrant is the swamp pink or honeysuckle, known also as the white or clammy azalea. London's Slow Police About a year ago a gentleman residing in London, says the Outlook, finding that burglarars had visited his house, rushed to his telephone to communicate with the police. Imagine his consternation on learning that there was no telephone in the police station! As the idea of using the telephone would never have occurred to a Londoner at home, this gentleman must have been a foreigner. The Spectator presumes he then found on inquiry that the correct thing to do under the circumstances was to dispatch his butler to the station house in a hansom, a good old custom dating from the reign of Queen Anne. At the time of the search for the Liverpool Bank robber, Gondie, the police were much hampered by the fact that the Scotland Yard service is not equipped with the telephone. These astonishing conditions prevail in London today, the local police stations having no telephone connection whatever, either with one another or the public.

Smith of Milwaukee can sympathize with rheumatic sufferers, because he was himself tortured by this disease for years. He made a thorough study of his own case and of the causes of the disease, following this with the experimental use of remedies suggested by the knowledge thus gained. Ultimately he found a combination of herbs which completely rid his system of every trace of rheumatism, and, though years have elapsed, he is still perfectly free from any symptom of the old ailment. Neighbors and friends to whom Mr. Smith gave the remedy were cured with equal thoroughness and permanence and "Gloria Tonic," as Mr. Smith named the discovery, began to be in demand. Since that time many thousands have by its use been relieved of the terrible affliction of rheumatism. Mr. Smith has 75,000 sample packages of this remedy which he desires to distribute, free of charge, among rheumatic sufferers. He therefore authorizes the announcement that any reader of this paper may obtain a free trial package of "Gloria Tonic" by addressing John A. Smith, No. 80 Germania building, Milwaukee, Wis.

You may not this season be able to build a new one, or make the radical changes in the old one that you had in contemplation, but there is no school district in the United States that cannot afford to tint with Alabastine the interior of their buildings, thus making them more attractive, getting colors made with special reference to their effects on the eyes of the pupils, getting a sanitary and rock base cement coating that will not harbor disease germs. The closely crowded school rooms need all the safeguards to the health of the pupil that intelligent officials can surround them with, and all sanitarians unite in saying that Alabastine is the only proper material to be used on such walls. The United States department of agriculture now has well equipped laboratories for the investigation of the diseases of plants in Washington City, Florida and California.

Titles bring full details and a booklet THE PO I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.—Psalm lxxi., 14. There are set in the human sky bright stars which are like the diadems of the night, illumining, assuring, brightening, beautifying. There is one star of the first magnitude which shines on undimmed while day and night succeed each other, seasons come and go, and life's race is run. What is this star? Hope; hope--the undimmed star of the ages and the light of God; hope, which is like the inbreathing of the peace of heaven in the midst of the disturbances of earth; hope, which is the healing touch which drives away the maladies of our bodies and minds; hope, that is the brightest star that is set in the firmament of life. The light of that star cheers the sailor upon the storm-tossed sea, and the rumble of the thunder and the gleam of the lightning cannot so terrify his soul that he is unconscious of the light which comes from his starlit firmament, and no curtain of darkness can be hung before him which shall make him oblivious of the fact that piercing the gloom there are the rays of this star in the firmament of his life, set there by an infinite God, of which no tempest can rob him, and which no darkness of the night can prevent shining into his soul. The light of this star guides the explorer when the days seem dark and dreary and his toil of search seems fruitless. This star it is that brightens the desk of the student who is poring over his books continually for a larger wisdom and ability for life's great undertakings; and when he grows weary of his task and begins to think that he has not the ability to cope with the problems which present themselves, then he is encouraged by the rays of this star which fall upon his desk. The professional man in every department of life is cheered on by the same light. This is the star that enables the man whose arm is bared, and who is working at the anvil, to prosecute his laborious tasks. It is the star which leads the husbandman of the soil to scatter his seed and wait for the coming of the harvest. It is the star—the bright star—which leads the mother in the routine duties of the home when the tasks seem irksome; it is the star which cheers her on—the light from this star—and she takes up her tasks, and says: I have done this same round of duties five hundred times, but it seems brighter to-day because I can see the light from the star. She sings her lullaby to her babe, and performs the humblest duties under the light of the star. And the little child just coming to consciousness has its sorrows and trials and difficulties, but they are driven away, because even to the child there comes the same glow of gladness through the twinkling star in the firmament of the childlife. Childhood passes on to youth, with its castle building, with its disappointments; youth also is stimulated by the star. In the vigor of life, when the heart beats strong and the temple throb tells of abundant life, then it is that every man becomes a hundred men, because the light of the star cheers him on his way. Youth passes on to middle life and to eventide, and still it is the star. It is the star of light which pierces even to the innermost parts of the valley of disconsolation that cheers man on in his great tasks. And when, by and by, the heavens themselves seem to close in upon us and the darkness of night gathers about us, we feel the chill of some strange bereavement, and our hearts are burdened more than we can bear, and it seems to us as though we would be in abject despair and life were not worth living; the voice which was sweetest to us silenced—then we are not in despair, for it is the star which God has set in our firmament which sends down its gladdening rays to us and says: God's in his heaven: all's right with the world. Hope—what is it? The strange somewhat which has made history and saved the world. For we read in the epistle to the Romans: "We are saved by hope." What is hope? A rational expectation of good as yet unrealized; something better farther on, from the morning of life to the setting of the sun, something better farther on. Nations from their infancy until their present degree of development attest to the same great truth. What is our own nation but that? What is the tremendous industrial energy of our day but the expectation that we shall acquire greater wealth, that it shall be distributed for the blessing of the world? There is no statesmanship but that which builds hopefully, with the expectation of something better and something greater. Man may fall a hundred times in his plans, yet hope does not die. Blessed be God for this writing of himself into our hearts which causes us to believe that in spite of ten thousand ills and disadvantages, there are better things before us than the world has ever dreamed of. There is no labor of life lost, then, because it merges into larger good and wider blessing. There is no discipline of life which falls flat and useless. There is no trial, no hardship, lost forever. God knows how to conserve the energies of life. Homemakers, some of you have not yet realized what you had expected. You find it necessary to live humbly. Hearken to the song of hope. Expect better things material. God is on our side. He will help us. We are being enriched by a discipline which could not be received in any other way. There are disappointed ones. Some of you have not known the joy you hoped to receive. Do not lose sight for a moment of the star of hope, the hope of better things. It will come. It will come. God will not disappoint us. We are the children of the king, who has rich treasures of truth and grace, and if he does not always grant us what we want at the time we expect it, he will keep us in heart and hope, and will ultimately reward us with better things than this world dreams of. I preach this not as a dream or a fancy. It is the most blessed reality of life, as respects the future, for it simply lifts earth up, and up, and up, until it connects itself with heaven, and we have not touched the last round of the ladder of prosperity until we have set our foot upon the star of God. Hope is like the life-preserver, which keeps the man afloat when the waves are rolling high. There are distinctive features of the Christian's hope, for it is founded upon the rational expectation of enjoyment of both heaven and earth here and now. I am not willing to wait for heaven until I have ceased to breathe. I am not willing to wait for the flowers of Paradise until I can pluck them in God's garden yonder. I believe he has scattered the seed along my way. I believe I may pluck these mountain flowers even in my humble path. I believe, I know, that hope gives us the best of this world and the best of the next world, for in the expectation of heaven's joy we can already hear its song; in the expectation of heaven's wealth we can already feel the gladness of princeship; in the belief and knowledge that we are kings and princes with God. The Christian's hope presses on, and on, and on, until it reaches beyond the stars where God in glory reigns, and reigns forever. Do not be dismayed; there is a star shining yonder which will not dim though all the world grow dark about you. Hope, hope, because even the tomb will not close over that light piercing down beneath the clods which seem to cover the faces of loved ones. There is the light of hope, the hope of the resurrection, of the life eternal; and by and by, in the realization of that blessed hope, I know what I shall do—I shall stand within the gates of God; I shall greet the loved ones there. I shall see the smile which was the light of life in my childhood; I shall hear that voice which was a monition, a call, an encouragement, in the period of my youth. Life, immortal life—there is speculation as to whether it be a reality apart from Christ or not. We need not speculate on that; it is enough for us to know that there is one way of life, and that way is the way of the cross and of the tomb, of Olivet and of the throne, where Christ of God is the giver of life. He becomes our immortality. "I will hope continually," yea, I will hope till my last expiring breath. I will pillow my head upon hope. I will lie down to pleasant dreams and to the blessed realization that Jesus Christ is the resurrection and the life. AWFUL CURSE OF DRINK. By Rev. Polemus Swift The rum traffic is an enormous business. The direct cost to the people of the United States is the amount of money spent for liquors. This is for native distilled spirits $500,000,000; for domestic beer, $475,000,000; for domestic wines, $60,000,000; for imported liquors of all kinds, $20,000,000; total, $1,055,000,000. To this enormous direct cost must be added the larger indirect cost. That has been estimated all the way from $1,000,-000,000 to $1,500,000,000. If we take the most conservative figures and say that the total cost of the traffic is $2,000,000,000 we yet have a sum that is all but unthinkable. If that were saved it would give $400 per year to each of 5,000,000 families. It would give to each of 10,000,000 families four barrels of flour, fifteen pairs of shoes, ten complete suits of clothing, fifteen bushels of potatoes and 500 pounds of meat. Before so large a distribution the problem of poverty would disappear as the morning mist before the July sun. The cost of the rum traffic is ten times as much as all the churches of America have given for home and foreign missions from their organization to this hour; twenty times as much as all salaries paid for public school teachers in the United States and ten times as much as is expended for public education in all forms. The drink habit is responsible for a large percentage of the disease from which our people suffer. Every physician is familiar with a large class of alcoholic diseases. We have alcoholic phthisis, enlargement and feebleness of the heart, epilepsy, paralysis, dropsy, insanity, derangement of liver and kidneys, and a complete breakdown of the nervous system. The drink habit results in loss of acute sense of feeling and control of the body; judgment is clouded, nerves shattered and prompt action rendered impossible. All this results in a harvest of awful death. SERMONETTES Conquer Yourself.—You can only conquer yourself by letting Christ dwell in you and then following in the way he shall lead, your life will be the victorious one. Give him your life, serve him with your whole heart; go with him to minister to the needy ones of earth, who long for your help.—Rev. G. R. Lunn, Presbyterian, Brooklyn, N. Y. Successful Christians.—To be successful Christians we must be loyal to every precept of God's faith and have a longing for God's favor. 'Tis only thus we can experience the true faith. The church to-day must be anointed by the Holy Ghost. Thus it is with every one of us who wishes to accomplish God's mission.—Rev. J. R. Stevenson, Presbyterian, Chicago, Ill. Mistakes in the Home.—A mistake may be made in the home that may be made for eternity. Notwithstanding all the power of a mother's influence, evil finds its way into the sacred precincts of the home, lays its iron hand upon the children and works their ruin. Great may be the mother's power, but greater may be the power of the awful demons of wickedness outside.—Rev. F. K. Baker, Methodist, San Francisco. Cal.
