WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE THE CHURCH ST PETER CLAYER'S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. ST. PAUL. MINN. VOLUME IV. ST. PETER CLAYER'S ROMAN C P. REV. FATHER PRINTON. The above is an excellent likeness of Rev. Father Printon, pastor of St. Peter Claver's Roman Catholic Church of St. Paul, Minn., to which nine-tenths of the colored Catholics of St. Paul and Minneapolis belong. We also publish exterior and interior views of the church itself which is a handsome and commodious structure and seats nearly a thousand persons. The Rev. Thos. Printon received his first charge in the assignment to St. Peter Claver's Church. St. Peter Claver's at St. Paul is the first church dedicated to the great saint who spent his life in the behalf of the Negro and under his patronage the church has grown and today it stands the pride of the metropolitan diocese of St. Paul. The venerable Archbishop Ireland takes particular delight in the church of St. Peter Claver's, as indeed he does in all things that concern the welfare of the race. Since Father Printon's pastorage the church has been entirely cleared of debt, a magnificent pipe organ installed and a commodious parsonage purchased. The membership of St. Peter's are members of the best families of the city and some of the best known Negro Catholics in the country. In fact, the members of the church have been foremost among the Negro Catholics in all movements tending toward the uplifting of the race. Rev. Father Printon is of Boston and enjoys the distinction of being the first Catholic priest to become identified in a national organization having for its purposes and ends the advancement and uplift of the Negro and the Rev. Father is very proud of the distinction. Father Printon further evinced his love for the Negro by being the first white man to join the National Afro-American Council which held its fifth annual session at St. Paul last week. Father Printon lent his presence and influence to the work in hand and his advice in the solution of knotty problems was frequently sought. Next to Archbishop Ireland he is the Negro's most true and trusted friend. —The Coliseum at Chicago, where circuses and big commercial exhibitions were formerly held, is to be transformed into a mammoth indoor garden during the summer. That the great Northwest is a "land of promise" to those who have the right qualities, or, as the common saying is, have the right stuff in them, is well illustrated in the career of Mr. Peter Hanson, the well-known president of the Meeker County bank. Born at Voldsjo, Sweden, in 1845, he came to Minnesota and settled in Swede Grove township, Meeker county, in 1857. His father, Hans Peterson, was a farmer who thoroughly understood his business, for he prospered and accumulated a large estate. His son, Peter E., was brought up as a farmer's boy, receiving simply a common school education, but early developed a superior business capacity. He began to deal in real estate, and in 1879 he opened an office in Litchfield, the county seat of Meeker county, where by his unquestioned integrity and fair dealing, he built up a large business, securing the largest clientele in the city and disposing of a very large amount of land. To this business he added that of banking, and in 1891 was made president of the Meeker County Bank, a position which he still holds, and where his high character for uprightness, sound judgment and unswerving probity is a tower of strength to the institution. As a young man—too young to enlist—Mr. Hanson took part in the Indian war of 1862. He helped to guard the homes and to defend the fort at Forest City, Minn. He had the reputation of being the [Name] PETER E. HANSON. best shot in the country and took part in two battles. He has always been a patriotic, public-spirited citizen—taking an active interest in public affairs, serving as a member of the town board and as chairman of the county board. He was elected also to the state senate, where his solid qualities found due recognition. His able services as senator undoubtedly prepared the way for higher honors which await him at the hands of the Republican party, of which he has always been an active member, supporting its measures and nominations with zeal. In one of the largest state conventions ever held in the state,Mr. Hanson was nominated by the Republican party in 1900 for the high office of secretary of state over several very able competitors, and was duly elected at the polls in November by a handsome majority. This was an honor of which any man ought justly to feel proud, for it is a distinction which only few can hope to attain in a great commonwealth, and it is the more notable, in this instance, that it comes to a farmer boy while still comparatively young. Mr. Hanson was married in 1867 to Rachel N. Halverson, and is the happy father of four children—Neill O., Harry A., Jennie F. and Mary L. Hanson, a joy to their parents and full of promise to the state. The present state superintendent of public instruction came from Denmark to Minnesota, when a child of seven years old, with his parents, who settled in Freeborn county in 1871. He was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, April 28, 1864. His father was Nels Olsen, a farmer of Danish birth, who came to this country with but little means. His mother was also of the same nationality. Young John began his education in the district schools of Freeborn county. He then went to the Albert Lea high school, and from there to the normal college at Valparaiso, Ind., where he graduated in 1887, with the degree of bachelor of science. Afterwards he did college work and taught in country schools. In 1886-7 he was principal of the schools at Alden, Minn. He then went to Kansas, and was principal at Holton, Kansas. In 1889-90 he read law with Lovely & Morgan at Albert Lea. In 1890 he was elected county superintendent of schools of Freeborn county. His success in this field was marked. He was elected to this position for six successive terms and made a wide reputation for his superior administration of the schools of the county, and by his efficiency secured an extended acquaintance with the teachers of the state. In 1893 he was elected president of the County Superintendent's State Association. In 1899 he was made president of the Minnesota Teachers' Reading Circle. In 1900 he was supported by a strong representation of the teachers in the state, for the position of state superintendent of public instruction, and was appointed to the position by Gov. Van Sant—an office which he now holds. [Name] J. W. OLSEN. Mr. Olsen has always been a Republican. For the last ten years he has taken an active part, being many times a delegate to the district, county, and state conventions of his party. In 1900 he was the chairman of the county Republican committee of Freeborn county. In religion, Mr. Olsen is a Methodist, and is the secretary of the board of trustees of the First Methodist Church of Albert Lea, and is superintendent of its Sunday school. He was married July 21, 1891 to Carrie L. Navlor. They have three children—Olive M., Florence M. and Carroll B. Olsen. FIRST COMMANDER OF COLORED TROOPS Among many who claim the distinction of being the first officer of Colored troops during the war there is only one claimant who can read his title clear. That one is Col. C. T. Trowbridge of Minneapolis. The official records and orders support Col. Trowbridge's claims, and the first colonel of the First regiment, the illustrious Thomas Wentworth Higginson states that the first recruiting officer of Colored troops was Sergt. Charles T. Trowbridge of the First New York volunteer engineers (Col. Serrell), who had been Gen. Hunter's trusted orderly. Col. Higginson makes this statement both in his history of the first black regiment and also in an article in the July number (1898) of the Outlook. In this Outlook article Col. Higginson describes how then Sergt. Trowbridge one May morning in 1862 addressed the Negroes of Ladies' Island, S. C., on the advantages of enlisting in the army and how as he proceeded the cautious darkies took to the woods. This interesting article for want of space in this issue will be continued in our next. THE EDITOR. The use of Spanish is decreasing, but it is still a very important language in commerce. CREAM CITY NOTES.

To Our Readers. Owing to our absence from the city in attendance upon the state Republican convention, we were unable to publish full reports of the national convention of the Afro-American council, to which we were a delegate. We expect to publish a full report in our next issue. The ladies in particular will receive attention. Messrs. R. B. Montgomery, representing the Afro-American Press; J. J. Miles, representing the Afro-American League, and Rev. L. W. Lewis, representing the various religious organizations, attended the convention of the National Afro-American Council at St. Paul July 9-12. The sessions were held in the commodious state capitol building and the delegates were welcomed by the governor of Minnesota and the mayor of St. Paul. The convention was a grand one and well attended. They discussed race questions and there was considerable oratory. Some of those present were Hon. T. Thomas Fortune, editor New York Age; Hon. Booker T. Washington, Hon. F. L. Barnett, Illinois; Hon. John C. Dancy, South Carolina; Bishop Walters, Mrs. Mollie Church Tyrrel, Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams, Prof. Jesse Lawson, Mrs. Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin and others. The citizens of St. Paul were profuse in their hospitality and everyone enjoyed themselves. The old officers were all re-elected. The next meeting will be held in Louisville, Ky. \* \* \* The banquet given by Holyrood Commandery, Knights Templar, last week, at Kaiser's hall, was a grand success. * * * A certain woman who was formerly one of our shining lights but who has now fallen into innocuous desuetude by reason of her somewhat peculiar relationship with one of the swell young bloods of Edison avenue, has been lately giving some of our young women some very bad advice. If this woman desires to consort with the low class of white men who select negro women as their companions de nuit, she should not attempt to lead our young and respectable women into such questionable conduct. *** It is with sadness that we chronicle the death of Mrs. Nellie Bowman, nee Berry, who departed this life at the home of her parents at Beloit, Wis., about two weeks ago. Mrs. Bowman underwent a severe surgical operation at Beloit, from the effects of which she never recovered. Her sister, Mrs. Cora Rountree, was at her bedside. Her husband is almost frantic with grief. She had been a resident of Milwaukee for several years and was universally beloved. She was a charming young woman. The Advocate extends sincerest sympathy to the bereaved husband and family. GO WAY BACK AND SIT DOWN. The editor desires to convey his personal thanks to Mr. Booker T. Washington and also to his private secretary, Mr. Scott, for his kind information given to the editor concerning a few of our enemies who have been writing backbiting letters concerning us. We will say to these officious ex-friends of ours that if they will write to the garbage collector of Tuskegee or to the gentleman who empties the waste baskets they can doubtless have their letters returned. The Just and the Unjust Tommy had been worrying papa with the usual number of unanswerable questions, and had been threatened with condign punishment if he did not keep quiet. He fidgeted about in silence for some time, but at length broke out: "Pa, they say the rain falls alike upon the just and the unjust, doesn't it?" "Yes, yes. Don't ask silly questions." "And it isn't just to steal another man's umbrella, is it?" "Certainly not. If you ask any more "But, pa, the rain doesn't fall upon the man that steals the umbrella, and it does on the man that had his stolen. Funny, ain't it, pa?"—London Answers. INTERIOR OF ST. PETER CLAVER'S CHURCH. ST. PAUL NEWS Delivered the Address or Welcome. Gov. Van Sant delivered the address of welcome to the convention of the National Afro-American Council on its opening day. He welcomed the delegates on behalf of the state of Minnesota, and took the house by storm. Many regard it as one of the best ad- M. B. dresses delivered. So popular has Gov. Van Sant become within his own state and throughout the country that his name has frequently been mentioned as the next Republican nominee for the office of vice president of the United States. The state of Minnesota may well be proud of its code of state officials. They are all men of the highest type of character, their administration has been so clean that they have been renominated by acclamation. With such a man at the head of the ticket as Gov. S. R. Van Sant, a man who stands for the law, as has been shown in the manly stand he took against the consolidation of parallel railroad lines of the state shows the nerve and the grit he is made up of. The state is one of the leading states in the line of giving equal rights to all and special privileges to none, in the Union. Governor, Hon. S. R. Van Sant. Governor's Private Secretary, Robert Jamison. Governor's Executive Clerk, James A. Martin. Governor's Assistant Executive Clerk, Charles J. Moos. Governor's Stenographer, Minnie Helwig. Governor's Messenger, David E. Beasley. Governor's Office Boy, Neil Jamison. The above comprises a list of the office staff of the governor of the state of Minnesota. For politeness, sociability and good breeding, they are indeed hard to beat. They are every one of them efficient and painstaking, and the editor is always a welcome visitor. * * * As an amusing coincidence when we went into the office of Auditor Dunn he informed us that he was about to vacate, but added, "Send my paper to Joe Davis. We swear by him." The following comprise the staff of the superintendent of public instruction: Superintendent, J. W. Olsen; assistant, C. G. Schulz; clerks, Christ Lindahl, Mrs. W. M. Deming, Mary W. Bean. These are all readers of the Advocate and attended the sessions of the council. All are interested in the Afro-American Council and in the welfare of the colored race. Another leading Afro-American of St. Paul, Minn., is J. W. Woodfork, president and chairman of the board of governors of the Ramsey County Afro-American Club, whose cut and history will appear in our next issue. Mr. Woodfork is prominent in Masonic circles and * * * * * * was the leading spirit in the organization of the Grand Lodge of Minnesota. * * * Billy D. Black, vocalist, comedian and impersonator, is leader in his line, and St. Paul would not be complete without him. He furnishes cakewalkers, singing troupes, dancers and all kinds of high-class amusements. Mr. Black is well known in all parts of the Union, uses only the best talent, and is a credit to his profession and his race. Messrs. Phil E. Reid and J. J. Hirshfield conduct a fine place at No. 40 East Third street, where they serve their patrons, who are among the best in the city. It is the favorite resort for bankers, newspaper critics and board of trade men and does a thriving business. They have all the modern improvements, are pleasant and obliging to all and are representative business men. Emil Deuster will Run for Congress. Formal announcement was made today of the candidacy of Emil Deuster for the Democratic nomination for congressman in the Fourth district, to oppose Congressman Theobald Otjen. Mr. Deuster, who lives in the Fifth ward, where he conducts a laundry, was born in that ward in 1869, and has always lived there. As early as 1874 he was a messenger in the state Legislature, his father, Joseph Deuster, being at that time sergeant-at-arms. Not long after he was occupying a position with the law firm of Jenkins, J. H. Elliott & Winkler, but when George H. Paul was made postmaster of Milwaukee, he was placed in charge of the stamp department at the main office, a position he held until Win J. Nowell four years later became postmaster. Mr. Nowell recommended him to Mayor George W. Peck for a position and he was made water registrar, this being his last public office until he became alderman five years ago, in which he served four years. Mr. Deuster was in the national guard fourteen years, rising from the ranks to the captaincy of the Turner Rifles, afterwards known as the Pabst guard. Gold Dollars at a Premium. The United States gold dollar is so scarce that dealers in old and rare coins are advertising everywhere for them, offering from $1.5 to $3 apiece for as many as they can get. Since 1889 the United States mints have not coined any gold dollars. Since then their value has increased steadily. In the mint in Philadelphia, where the dies for all United States currency are made, a reporter of the Philadelphia Times was told the present value of the gold dollar of 1889. Those marked C (Carson City) are worth from $1.75 to $2.50. Those marked D (Denver) are worth from $2 to $2.50; those marked S (San Francisco) are worth from $2 to $3, and those without any mark, indicating they were minted in Philadelphia, are worth from $1.50 to $1.70. A piece of real estate was sold in New York the other day at the rate of $5 per square inch. Railway Managers Willing to Yield but Repudiate the Union. THE PEACE PLANS FAIL. When Told that Terms are Subject to Approval by Union the Negotiations are Dropped. Chicago, Ill., July 9. At noon today indications were that the conferences arranged to take place between the railroads and committees from the warehouses would fail to bring about peace in the freight handlers' strike. Committees were appointed this morning to confer with the managers or superintendents of the respective roads. They were not prepared, however, to make a final settlement, that being reserved for the union as a whole. The Rock Island, the Lake Shore, the St. Paul and the Monon officials refused to treat with the men on this basis. At the offices of each of these roads propositions for a settlement were made, but when the men said the matter would have to be approved by the executive committee of their union the managers declared the conference at an end. The conference between officials of the Illinois Cntral and the strikers was still on at noon. As the railroads all along have insisted that any settlement must be made with their own men alone, it is thought that all the other conferences on now will terminate as have the ones mentioned. At 1 p. m. General Manager Gardner of the Chicago & North-Western, reported that the conference with his men had terminated in an agreement, the men stating that they had the right to make a settlement. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the Chicago & Alton conferences at the hour named were still on, the hitch, it was said, being over the statements by the committees that any terms agreed upon would not be binding unless ratified by the executive committee of the union. Developments Summarized. Secretary E. L. Turley of the National Teamsters' Union warned teamsters to take no part in the strike. Six companies filled freight houses with men shipped in from other points. Wholesale houses reported freight shipments from 20 to 70 per cent. lighter than they would have been had no strike been called. Forty negroes, imported by the Chicago & Alton, deserted on appeal of pickets. Five railroads placed dining and sleeping cars on sidetrack for accommodation of their employes. Crowd of pickets angered by importation of men was dispersed by police at Taylor street and Fifth avenue. Illinois Central and Chicago & North-Western officials announced that they had more men than were employed when the strike was ordered. Lake steamer lines refused to take freight consigned to interior points which they do not usually handle. South Water street merchants obtained supplies and the threatened famine in food is not imminent. Erie liner Conestoga cleared from Chicago for Buffalo by way of Milwaukee without cargo, because railroads were unable to deliver freight at docks. Scores of truck teamsters demanded instructions from their officers at headquarters and were told to haul freight as usual. Pickets were withdrawn from some of the freight houses pending the conferences to be held today. All the roads announced last night that they would receive freight today. Shippers and the large firms about town found things in better shape at the freight houses today and were enabled to secure freight and deliver goods for shipment on the various lines of railway as was usual before the strike began. Asked to Fill Strikers' Places. Rabcock, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]—A call has been made upon some of the employees of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company of this division to go to Chicago, and temporarily take the place of the strikers at the freight houses. As a rule the call meets with objection. Miners' Chief Confident of Success Nanticoke, Pa., July 9.—President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers came here from Wilkesbarre today and addressed the delegates of District No. 1, who are now in annual convention here. He said in conclusion: "In all my experience in the labor movement, I have never participated in a strike in which I felt so confident of success. If our membership will stand as I know they will we shall in the not distant future achieve a victory and shall settle for all time the right of the coal miners to receive for honest labor and unremitting toil at least a sufficient wage to enable them to live, maintain and educate their families and enjoy a few of the pleasures of our civilization." STRIKE AT CORLISS. Twenty-five Imported Freight Handlers Refuse to Continue Work. Racine, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]—Twenty-five of the 150 men brought to Corliss to transfer merchandise from one car to another to be shipped directly through Chicago refused to go to work this morning and the railroad officials, fearing that other men would leave or that freight handlers who are on a strike would reach Corliss at 9 o'clock this morning and seek to get others to leave their work, ordered all the men into the freight cars which are used as lodging places and the train was backed to Sylvania, a station three miles west of Corliss. As soon as clerks and checkers arrive from Milwaukee and Chicago the train will be brought in and the men put to work. On one side of a platform 460 feet long are many cars loaded with merchandise for Eastern points and all brought to Corliss from Western avenue. Merchandise will be transferred night and day into cars across the platform. Telegraph operators are there with offices in a box car and with two switch engines the railroad officials expect to defeat the Chicago freight handlers, now on a strike. Another platform is to be built opposite the present one and men are now at work on it. The officials state that unless a settlement is made with the strikers hundreds of cars of merchandise will be brought to Corliss daily and transferred. CLOSE FAIR ON SUNDAY. Directors of St. Louis Exposition Adopt Formal Resolution to that Effect. St. Louis, Mo., July 9.—The board of directors of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition adopted a resolution that during the whole duration of the exposition the gates shall be closed to visitors on Sundays. After the meeting a telegram was sent to Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, at Washington, notifying him that the Sunday closing resolution as forwarded by the treasury department had been adopted. HOD TAYLOR TO GO Secretary Shaw is Making Arrangements to Swing His Axe in the Treasury Department. Washington, D. C., July 9.—Secretary Shaw has defined one policy in his administration of the treasury department, which is that the usefulness of every officer of the department must, of necessity, have become seriously impaired after a period of four or five years. No secret is made of this belief on the part of Mr. Shaw. An intimation of it was given as early as April, when it became known that within a few months Assistant Secretary Spaulding, who is in charge of the customs administration, would have to make way for a successor. Gen. Spaulding has held the office for five years, and, according to Mr. Shaw, has outlived his usefulness in the department, not from any fault of his own, but simply because no federal officer can continue to act with the same efficiency after the lapse of a few years. Resignation Acceptable. The same rule is being made to apply to Assistant Secretary Taylor, who has charge of the administration of the immigration laws, public buildings and other important matters in the treasury department. It has been an open secret for several weeks that Mr. Taylor would within a few months receive an intimation that his resignation would be acceptable to Mr. Shaw. The resignations in the cases of the assistant secretaries would, of course, go to the President, for these officers are appointed by the President, but it has been generally understood that President Roosevelt would allow Secretary Shaw to arrange the personnel of the treasury according to his own ideas of sound and efficient administration. Assistant Secretary Ailes probably will continue to hold his place, for he has been in office only a little more than a year, and therefore has not reached the point where his term of usefulness can be said to have ended. Slated for Dismissal. At least two or three division and bureau chiefs are believed slated for dismissal, and in all cases these are men who have held their present positions for four years or more. Mr. Shaw was quoted recently as saying he believed Secretary Gage, Assistant Secretary Spaulding and Assistant Secretary Taylor should have been superseded at the end of their four years' term. He recommended the removal of T. V. Powderly, commissioner of immigration, and carried his point, although strong influences were used to secure Mr. Powderly's retention. It has been said that George E. Roberts, director of the mint, would resign some time during the summer, but Mr. Roberts will neither deny nor affirm the report. BOW NEARLY CUT OFF. Fa. River Seamer Priscilla in Collision with the Powhattan—Passengers in Darkness. Newport, R. I., July 9.-The Fall River line steamer Priscilla is at her pier in this city with a big hole in her port bow and one of her crew dead, due to a collision with the Merchants and Miners' Transportation Company's steamer Powhattan, in Narragansett bay last night, in a fog. The victim was John Muniz, a Portuguese deckhand. Beside him no one was injured. The Priscilla was struck fair by the Powhattan and her bow was nearly cut off. The stem of the latter penetrated fully 20 feet into the hull of the Priscilla. The inflow of water very soon extinguished the electric lights, and the passengers, most of whom were in bed, were turned out of their rooms in darkness. Their nervousness was intensified as they found the men on the ship passing out life preservers by candlelight. There was no panic, although no help was in sight and the steamer was apparently in great need. RIVERS RISE RAPIDLY. Flood Situation in Iowa is Very Serious Lowlands are Submerged and Bridges in Danger. Dés Moines, Ia., July 9.—The flood situation in Iowa is more serious than at any time in ten years. The Des Moines, Ia, Raccoon, Cedar and Skunk rivers are from 7 to 15 feet above low water mark and the lowlands are submerged. Hundreds have been made homeless. In Des Moines 200 persons have already been forced to abandon their homes and have suffered the loss of horses, cattle and hogs. At Des Moines and elsewhere throughout the central section of the state continued rain has fallen for twenty-four hours, the precipitation at Boone and Fort Dodge being reported as nearly 4 inches. Rivers continue to rise rapidly and are filled with driftwood. False work on a concrete bridge has gone out here and two other bridges are in danger. A bridge across the Des Moines river near Boone is reported to have gone out. Levees in Des Moines are weakening and if a break occurs hundreds of acres of residential property will be flooded. DISASTROUS FIRE IN DALLAS, TEX. Dallas, Tex., July 9.—Fire this morning completely destroyed the wholesale drug houses of Patton, Worsham Company; Texas Drug Company; J. W. Crow Drug Company and H. W. Williams & Co. The wholesale paper house of Scarff & O'Connor was badly wrecked and considerable damage was done to the Santa Fe depot. The loss will reach $225,000 to $250,000, insurance about $175,000. DEATH OF A FAMOUS HORSE. Linden Tree, Given to Gen. Grant by Sultan, Liver Thirty-three Years. Omaha, July 9.—Linden Tree, the fine Arabian horse presented by the Sultan of Turkey to Gen. Grant, died at the farm of Gen. L. W. Colby of Beatrice, Neb., aged 33 years. Gen. Grant met the Sultan of Turkey during his tour around the world, and on his return home the Sultan sent him the finest specimen of the pure Arabian horse that was to be obtained. The horse later was purchased by Gen. Colby of Beatrice. He was used as a saddle animal for several years, but since he became too old to be of practical value has been tenderly cared for. WRECKED THE JAIL. Prisoners Explode Dynamite but are Covered with Winchester. St. Joseph, Mo., July 9.—Prisoners in the St. Joseph jail exploded dynamite in the structure, wrecking the rear wall and shattering windows of the court house adjoining. None of the prisoners escaped. Pandemonium reigned in the jail. Deputies with Winchesters are keeping the prisoners back. GETSTWENTY-FIVE YEARS. Jessie Morrison, Convicted of Murder, is Sentenced. NEW TRIAL OVERRULED Eldorado, Kas., July 8.—Jessie Morrison, convicted June 28 of murder in the second degree for killing Mrs. Olin Castle at the latters home here in June, 1900, by cutting her throat with a razor, was today sentenced to twenty-five years in the penitentiary. Motion for a new trial was overruled. Miss Morrison, who has gone through three trials, took the sentence with little show or demonstration. The case will be appealed to the state supreme court. At her second trial Miss Morrison was given but five years. Rivalry of Two Women. The rivalry of two "girls," one of them 30 years old and the other 26, for the love of a boyish young man of 24, was at the bottom of this sensational tragedy. Olin Castle was a clerk in the Racket store. Jessie Morrison was also a clerk in the Racket store. Her tender regard for her fellow clerk, Olin Castle, was no secret. For two years or more Olin Castle "kept company" with her, seeming to prefer her to Miss Morrison. On June 13—unlucky day—Olin Castle and Clara Wiley were married. The wedding passed off smoothly enough, and eight days later there was a reception given by the parents of the groom. The next morning Castle went to the store about 6:30 o'clock, as was his wont. At 9 o'clock came a message that his wife had been murdered. He hastened home and found his bride of a week lying on the dining-room floor with her throat cut. Caught Red-Handed. Neighbors told what they knew of the case. Mrs. E. R. Spangler called to neighbors across the street, and one of them—Mrs. Moberly—came over, broke open one of the screen doors and hastened to the dining room, where she saw Jessie Morrison, the defeated rival, standing over the prostrate form of the bride of a week, with a bloody razor in her hand. It was thought that Mrs. Castle would die before sundown. She revived sufficiently in the afternoon to write an antemortem statement, accusing Jessie Morrison. Miss Morrison claimed she had acted in self-defense. WEST CALLS FOR MONEY. Large Sums Shipped from New York to Chicago, St. Louis and Other Points. New York, July 8.—Movements of currency to Chicago, St. Louis and other Western money centers have in two days reached a phenomenal figure, considering that it is too early in the season for the regular demand for cash needed in crop movements. Currency to the amount of more than $1,050,000 was shipped West from New York on Saturday and Monday, and the incident is sufficiently extraordinary to have aroused comment in financial circles. Further requisitions upon New York are expected by those who have studied the situation in the West the most carefully. "We have the largest amount of currency on hand that we have ever held," said Cashier Kilborn of the National City Bank, "and it was just in anticipation of this demand that I planned for the large holding. Our people here laughed at me, but I felt sure there would be an early and large demand from the West. Chicago has been loaning money to New York, and now, as the season of crop movement approaches, she is preparing for large necessities. Instead of renewing loans she is calling for currency. That is the whole story." Assistant Cashier Alexander of the National Bank of Commerce, which shipped $400,000 in currency to St. Louis, attributed the early call for money to the demand in many Western states for funds to finance large enterprises, and to the change in New York exchange rates, which have recently gone from 30 cents a thousand premium to 40 cents discount. THE PANEL DISCHARGED. Court Believed that Certain Jurors Were on Friendly Terms with Andrews' Associates. Detroit, Mich., July 8.-Judge Alfred J. Murphy of the recorder's court created a sensation in the early proceedings today for the trial of Frank C. Andrews, former vice president of the wrecked City Savings Bank, which began this morning, by dismissing the entire panel of jurors drawn for the July term of court. Judge Murphy said in explanation of his action he had receive certain information affecting members of the jury and he considered it proper in the interests of justice to discharge the entire panel summoned for the rest of the term. While it has not been developed in court, it has been rumored that several of the men on the jury were very friendly with some of Frank C. Andrews' close political associates. Andrews' attorneys announced that the ruling of the court in regard to the jurors took them by surprise and entered an exception. Attorney Baker then moved to quash the charge against Andrews on the ground that the prosecution had not set up a proper case. S. W. DORSEY MARRIES. Former Senator United to Miss Laura Bigelow in New York. New York, July 8.—Former Senator Stephen W. Dorsey of Arkansas was married to Miss Laura Bigelow at Grace Church by Rev. Dr. William K.

Answer of Committee of Cardinals on Subject of Friars' Lands. Rome, July 8.—The answer of the committee of cardinals to Gov. Taft's recent note on the subject of the friars' lands in the Philippine islands was presented to the Pope this morning by Cardinal Rampolla, the papel secretary of state. The pontiff expressed his pleasure at the celerity with which the business had been dispatched and said, jestingly: "We are teaching the Americans the renowned art of hustling." The answer will be translated into French and will be printed. OUTLAW ESCAPES. Officers Had Tracy Definitely Located, but He Plunged Into Brush and Got Away. Seattle, Wash., July 9.—Harry Tracy, the fugitive convict outlaw, has for the fourth time since his arrival at Meadow Point, escaped from the officers. Tracy was definitely located in the home of Charles Gerrels, one mile north of the town of Renton at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. At 4:45 o'clock Deputy Sheriff Cook arrived with a fraction of the posse and advanced up the track towards Gerrels' home. Tracy stood in the rear of the premises and overheard a conversation between one of the women inmates of the house and two young men from Renton, and then the convict plunged into the brush and was lost to view. When Tracy disappeared from the Gerrel's home, the bloodhounds were hastily brought up from the rear and turned loose on the hot scent. Both dogs struck the trail down the stream, following it for a quarter of a mile and crossing the track only to double back and swim the river. Half way between Cedar river and Burroughs' boathouse both dogs ran into cayenne pepper sprinkled in the outlaws' retreating footsteps. Their nostrils were filled with the fiery substance, and fully ten minutes were lost in relieving the dogs so that they could again exercise their powers of smell. Pressed to desperation Tracy made a circuit, headed due north and plunged into the outskirts of the lake, where he finally succeeded in casting the scent. It was now dark and Guard Carson returned to Renton. Posse in Close Pursuit. A messenger from Black River Junction, ten miles from here, said Tracy was seen in a hop-drying house near there just before 8 o'clock. Hundreds of armed men are in the vicinity. Tracy was subsequently driven from the hop house and is going in the direction of the southern point of Lake Washington. The posse is close after him. Guard Carson with hounds and men has left Renton to intercept him. PREVENTED A WRECK. Boy Uses Sister's Red Frock to Flag Train and Disaster is Thus Averted. New York July 9.—Eldridge Finkle, 15 years old, and his sister, 13, saved a train on the Poughkeepsie & Eastern railroad from being wrecked by flagging the locomotive just in time to prevent it from rolling upon spreading rails, which would have thrown the engine and six cars down a steep embrankment. The children were gathering raspberries near Boston Corners, Duchess county, and the boy noticed that the rails were spread. The girl wore a red fock and, as the children knew that the train was almost due, they had a hurried consultation on the track. With the red dress in his hand the lad started up the track to meet the train. He had not gone 300 feet when it came along. It was a part of the road where fastest time is made and the train was running at about thirty-five miles an hour. The frantic waving of the red frock by the boy was enough to warn the engineer, and the brought his train to a standstill within a few feet of the dangerous trap. BARN STRUCK BY STORM. Mass of Machinery and Hay Falls to Basement and Causes Death of Two People St. Paul, Minn., July 9.—As a result of the terrific storm which prevailed south and east of Waseka, Minn., Saturday evening the family of Adam Bishman, Sr., is plunged into the grief of a tragic death in the family. Adam, Jr., his two sisters and the hired man were in the basement of the large barn attending to the milking when the storm burst in all its fury, the barn was torn asunder and the heavy mass of farm machinery and hay with which the upper floors of the barn were filled, crashed into the basement upon them. One of the daughters was killed instantly and Adam, Jr., was so crushed that he died from his injuries yesterday. The other two occupants were rescued from suffocation only after long hours of work by the neighbors. Eight head of horses and six head of cattle were also killed. The damage was very heavy about Wanda and at Perham the storm leveled a circus tent, which caught fire from the lights. Several people were burned and bruised, but none fatally injured. MANY PEOPLE DIE FROM EXTREME HEAT. Pittsburg, Pa., July 9.—Six more victims of the heat were reported up to 1 o'clock, making eleven deaths since yesterday. The mercury was 88 degrees at 1 o'clock today. New York, July 9.—This was the hottest day of the year in this city. The weather bureau thermometer showed a temperature of 91 degrees at 1 o'clock and there was little or no breeze. Six deaths from the heat were reported during the morning. KLONDIKE M'DONALD DEAD. Pioneer of Frozen North Killed in New York Street Fight. New York, July 9.—In an altercation in front of the Rossmore hotel, Broadway, near Forty-second street, a smooth-faced man, said to be James S. McDonald, the famous prospector who came back from the Klondike with $15,000,-000 and untold wealth in his claims, was injured so terribly that he died in the New York Hospital. Klondike McDonald was a picturesque character, who, working as a miner at Aspen, Col., caught the Klondike gold craze at the right time and amassed a great fortune. His story was the sensation of the day. He rode in a private car, was married with great ostentation and was then forgotten. LONGER LIFE FOR THOMBS. Governor Grants a Respite Till August 11 to Give Time for an Appeal. Chicago, Ill., July 9.—Gov. Yates yesterday granted a respite until August 11 to Louis G. Thombs, sentenced to be hanged for murdering a woman on the steamer Peerless. The governor first granted stay of sentence until July 11, and now has extended it until August 11, to give time for an appeal to the supreme court. DR. ADAMS OUT OF DANGER Believed to be Recovering from His Serious Illness. Redlands, Cal., July 9.—Dr. Charles Kendall Adams, former president of Wisconsin University, who is seriously ill in this city, was pronounced past the danger point by Dr. Norman Bridge of Los Angeles after a consultation. TO SEIZE SUPPLIES. Force of Moros Plot to Make an Attack Upon Train Belonging to the Americans. Manila, July 8.—News has reached here from Camp Vicars, Mindanao, to the effect that a strong force of Moros, including twenty-one riflemen, was out skirmishing to make an attack on a supply train. Troops with artillery were sent out and frustrated the attempt. The would-be ambushers were recognized by the friendly natives as part of the force of the Sultan of Bacolod, who is carrying on a successful agitation against the Americans in the country about Lake Lanao, and has sent a defiant ultimatum to the American commander. The Moros in the towns of Masieu and Bacolod are growing more aggressive. Gen. Chaffee has advised Gen. George W. Davis to disregard the insulting letter received from the Sultan of Bacolod and to remain unaggressive unless attacked or an overt act is committed. Fails to Prove Charges. The investigation into the charges against American officers and troops made by Maj. Gardener, governor of Tayabas, was concluded yesterday. In response to the invitation extended by the court of inquiry to Maj. Gardener to submit proof of his charges as to the hostility of the military officials to the civil authority, the governor of Tayabas says it is unavailable. He thanks the court but refuses its offer for him to visit any part of the archipelago for the purpose of gathering information to substantiate his charges. Accused Captain Wins a Point. Accused Captain Wins a Point. The court martial which is trying Capt. James A. Ryan of the Fifteenth cavalry on the charge of having been unnecessarily severe with the natives of the province where he was stationed has decided to exclude portions of Judge Rhode's report, which forms the basis of the charges against the officer, as not bearing on the specific charges against the captain. Judge Rhode was then excused and Capt. Ryan was called and began the defense of his conduct in administering Jiminez, Mindanao. Cholera on the Increase. The cholera is slowly increasing here. The municipal board of health is cooperating with the insular health authorities and is preparing extraordinary plans for the destruction of the filthy districts of Manila and the removal of 40,000 persons to suburban sanitary camps. DODGE THE OLEO LAW. Vegetable Coloring Matter Used or Artificial Color Sold Separately— Palm Oil to be Used. Washington, D. C., July S.—Oleomargarine manufacturers threaten to defeat the object of the dairymen and the will of Congress, as expressed in the bill which passed at the last session taxing "artificially" colored oleo and process and renovated buter. The commissioner of internal revenue, who is intrusted with the enforcement of the law, finds that he will be restricted to its letter, and that the manufacturers, by using natural vegetable products, can give oleo a shade of yellow without subjecting their output to the prohibitive tax of 10 cents a pound imposed upon oleo "artificially" colored in imitation of butter. One of the largest concerns in Chicago manufacturing oleomargarine has struck another method of evading the law. Instead of giving their product a butter color by the use of vegetables they intend to furnish with each package of the uncolored oleo a little pellet, with instructions for using it. The housekeeper purchases the uncolored oleo and receives the pellet, and in the quiet of her homeside proceeds to give the oleo a butter color. Palm oil, a pure vegetable oil, said to be more nutritious and cheaper than cotton seed oil, rich yellow in color, which will impart a beautiful yellow to oleo, will probably be extensively used in giving it a butterlike color without enabling the commissioner of internal revenue to tax it 10 cents a pound. Commissioner Yerkes frankly confesses that he is unable to see how he can prevent the spirit of the law being violated. The law is clear and explicit, and unless some "artificial" ingredient is used to color the oleo he can only tax it one-fourth of a cent a pound. MEN TERRIBLY BURNED BY DYNAMITE EXPLOSION Pittsburg, Pa., July 8.—A premature explosion of dynamite in a blast furnace slag dump near Duquesne, Pa., today killed one man and dangerously injured four others. All were workmen engaged in the blasting of the slag. George Dezuka, aged 28 years, was literally torn to pieces. The injured men were all terribly burned and are in a serious condition. Their names are: James Clemming, foreman; John Corlass, Vincent Archer and Michael Skellish. It is believed that the heat from the slag caused the explosion. TWO BOYS ARE DROWNED. One was Rocking the Boat and Finally Upset the Craft. Peoria, Ill., July 8.—Frank Cannon yesterday afternoon dragged Frank Case to death with him. They and two others went boating on the Illinois river, near the south end of the city. Case disrobed to take a swim and began rocking the boat. Cannon begged him to desist, as he could not swim, and the more Cannon begged the harder Case rocked. Finally he upset the boat, dumping all four into the river. As Cannon was about to sink he threw both arms around the neck of Case and resisted all efforts to dislodge him. Both were drowned, and when their bodies were recovered an hour later Cannon still had Case clasped around the neck. William Auer and Joseph Blondell, in the boat at the time it overturned, swam to shore, but could not assist their companions. All were about 15 years of age. A Bath on the Prairie. Col. Harry Hall of Washington says that on a journey across the prairies he stopped with a farmer for the night. He asked if he could have a bath, for he was dusty and travel-stained. "Certain," replied the farmer. Then he shouted to his son: "Jim, get the fixin's for a bath for this yer gent." Jim came back with a towel, a chunk of soap and a pickaxe. "What's the pickaxe for?" asked Hall. "Oh," said Jim, "you'll have to dam up the crick." Jacko Hilligan of Jersey City is still leading the Eastern Leaguers with the excellent average of .389.

"Peace!" is the word, to the war-sweat kelt Cheers from a myriad bursting throats Greeting the welcome news. Sorrowful flood of thankful notes, Mothers there are who now may sleep, Nor dream of a moaning boy; Wives who out of their gladness weep; Maidens who dance with joy. But in many a homestead tears art hot, And many an English lane, Where born of the tidings peace come REWARD OF THE FAITHFUL. The dusty black face over the posthole into which the iron digger dropped with power, was as wooden as the oaken handle of the tool itself, but the impassive exterior was but as the ashes that choke the mouth of the volcano—there were fires of emotion within. Ben's blue check sleeves were wet from shoulder to wrist in the vehemence of his exertions, but his hands could not keep pace with the rush of his thoughts. Herein lay his trouble: Lurinda, laundress at Locust Hill, going home from "meetin'" the evening before, had scornfully refused (for the third time) to name the day she would take him as her second husband—and he had loved Lurinda with the faithful love of a dull man long before she married Shay Beazley—yellow-faced Shay—with whom she had led anything but an easy life until a fatal combination of whisky and pneumonia made her a widow. "Lurindy," Ben had pleaded, "whuf fuh yuh keep puttin' me off dat way? I's wait en' wait all de seben yeah yu mah'ed tuh Shay. Now Shay been dead en' gone tuh glory dese two yeah, whuf fuh yuh g'wine mek' me wait any longhua?" And Lurinda, tall, stern, and gaunt as a bear in spring, but to faithful Ben all that was lovely and desirable, had looked down from her superior physical and mental heights to answer: LURINDA'S REASONING. "I's ain' g'wine fuhgit my duty tuh de dead tuh grat'fy de lub o' no libin'—naw suh—I ain' nigh got de slab obeh Shay. nuh yit de coffin roun' him paid fuh—an' 'twell dey paid fuh, tuh de las' cent; I ain' g'wine let mahin' come in my hade!" Ben looked at the set jaw of his betrothed with a sinking heart. Well he knew it would be many a day before Lurinda could spare enough from her hard earnings to complete the payment on the casket and the oaken slab over Shay; she had the rent to pay and the five children to feed. Yet he dared not offer to help her, for had she not said, time and again, that she would never marry another man who could not give her a home, and was he not depriving himself of everything but the bare necessities, to make slow payments on the house with the crooked chimney at the outskirts of Little Mason? He said no more, but in humility and dejection bade Lurinda goodnight at her door. "I waited longah fur Lurindy dan Jacob fur Rachel," he mused, as the iron cut into the yellow clay, "en' Lawd knows how much longah I'm got tuh wait wid de poss'bil'ty o' a fine 'oman lak huh uh gettin' uh bettuh chanst den me." The fence the heavy-hearted lover was building lay between the highway and a sloping pasture-field, in the upper corner of which next the road was the negro cemetery, protected by a tumble-down "worm" fence from the encroachments of the yellow Jerseys in the grass-field. The railroad lay, hot and shining, in the Indian summer sun across the southern end of the field. A long freight train, weighted with gray building-stone, tore by, leaving a stream of sparks and smoke in its wake. Ben wiped away the sweat drops as the stifling air grew hotter, but it was not until the two Jersey cows, with bellows of fright, ran by him in a frantic rush for the great ponds which lay beside the fence at the foot of the upward slops, that he observed that the long, dry grass, inflammable as tissue paper, was a wall of flame. THE RESCUE OF THE SLAB. His heart leapt in his throat. Shay's grave with its unpaid-for wooden marker was in the rude cemetery on the hill, close by the tumble-down fence with its corners heaped with dry leaves and dead growth of goldenrod and "everlasting." If that slab was burned—goodby to his hopes of Lurinda! He threw two quick glance at the coming firecloud, then looked toward the graveyard on the hillton. Could he make it? Before three seconds were gone he had dipped himself in the pond, and with his ragged cap running rivers of waters and his dripping coat in his hand, was running like a mad thing up the road. The hot air burned his cheeks and took his breath when he reached Lurinda's mound, but with the energy of desperation he wrenched the oak slab loose from its foundation block and wrapped his wet coat about it just as the fire leapt through the fence and caught the everlastings and the short grass on Shay's grave. The stinging smoke choked and blinded him—the scorching flames licked at his hands, but he clasped his precious burden hard and stumbled into the road. Happily a dozen hurried steps brought him to the great pond with its waters of safety. After a time Ben crept painfully up the road to his cabin. A gaping crowd of neighbors came to exclaim over him and minister to his needs. Old Aunt Jinny, Ben's best friend, was loud in condemnation of his foolhardy feat. "Lawd, Ben, you is sho' crazy!" she exclaimed, as she bound up his blistered hands and bathed his scorched face—"Dat nigguh Lurindy ain 'wuth no sich strivin' ez dis, no way en' no how! Now some you nigguhs stay heah en' teck keer o' Ben while I go fine Lurindy ez fas' ez my ole feet kin tote me ober de groun'! I gw'ine fahly put dat wench tuh shame!" In the gathering dusk Lurinda, with withered water-soaked hands and suds-sprinkled dress, made her way humbly to Ben's home. Ben's eyes brightened as the angular form of his beloved appeared in the doorway. "Lurindy," he said thickly, pointing with one cotton-swathed hand to the tall slab leaning against his bed—its splendor untarnished—"Lurindy, I save it fuh yuh!" THE CONQUEST OF LURINDA. The tears streamed down Lurinda's dark face—Aunt Jimny had done her work well, and the sight of Ben's bandaged hands was an added prick to her conscience. "Yuh mout uh buhnt up, Ben," she quavered between sobs, "Yuh mout uh died savin' dat piece o' wood—den da' wouldn' been no use o' me livin'! O Ben, I ain' gwine let dat ole debt stan' between me an' you no moah! En' I's ready tuh mah'y yuh now—right now—ef dat' mek yuh any happiuh!" Ben's eyes wideed with hope—incredulity—joy. He looked at the downcast face of Lurinda, then at his useless hands, and opened and shut his mouth helplessly. "Why, Lurindy, gal," he stammered at length, "I won' be able tuh wuck fuh yuh, fuh uh lorg time! En' I ain' got de house paid fru yit," he added weakly. "Whut dat mattuh?" Aunt Jinny spoke in a tone of command, "Shet up dat mouf o' youh'n, Ben! Ef Lurindy willin' teck yuh now, don' yuh tuh put huh out'en de notion! Can't some yuh nigguhs go git de preachuh?" she asked, turning to the other open-mouthed guests. Volunteers were not lacking, and a little later, Ben, leaning on the arm of Lurinda. with the light of love and the fruition of hope illumining his countenance, walked down the road to her cabin. A broad shaft of light from the open door fell on the coal ash path, and five little woolly heads were thrust out to welcome "Mammy." "Chilluns," announced Lurinda, proudly, as she led Ben in, "I's fotch you uh new pappy!

Housekeeping in London In a bright and interesting article in the Fortnightly Review, entitled "American Wives, and English Housekeeping," Mrs. John Lane, an American woman living in London, tells how much harder and more expensive it is to keep house in England than in the United States. The comforts and conveniences at the command of the dweller in the ordinary flat in this country, according to the writer, are to be had in England only in the homes of the very rich and most progressive residents. Among other things she says: Among other things she says: "How I wish I could clap a big, stolid, conservative, frost-bitten English matron into a snug American house, with a furnace, and heaps of closet (cupboard) room, and all sorts of bells and lifts and telephones, and then force her to tell me the absolute, unvarnished truth. What would she say? I know!" Of her search for a moderate priced house in London she tells in this way: house in London she tells in this way. "No model flat turning up here, we were reduced to take a house, for which we were willing to give from £150 to £200. The agony of that search and the horror of the various mansions offered! For the first time I recognized the wisdom that puts no clothes closets in London houses, when I think of the repositories of dirt they would inevitably become. At that time I was not on such intimate terms with the climate as I have since become, and I did not understand that it is humanly impossible to rise triumphant over fogs, smuts and beetles. "For my benefit grim and dingy caretakers rose out of the bowels of the earth as out of a temporary tomb (always in bonnets), and showed us over awful houses in which every blessed thing had been carried away, even to the door knobs and the keyholes—I mean, of course, the metal around the holes. Awful, closetless houses, guiltless of comfort, with dreary grates, promising a six months' shiver, and great, gaunt windows rattling forebodingly. As for plumbing—but it is well to drop a curtain over the indescribable. I do protest, however, against the people who live in these houses—houses whose discomfort an American artisan would not tolerate—looking with ineffable self-complacency on their methods, and sniffing at our American ingenuity and our determination to make life comfortable. Of course, we got a house, thanks to no estate agent, but as we could not rent it we had to buy it—or rather the thirty-eight years' remnant of a lease—a mysterious arrangement to an American. "The most obvious defect we discovered in our house was that it was very cold—a universal English drawback—and the inadequate open fires seem to accentuate the chill. I admit that furnaces are not a crying need in England all through the winter, but from December to March it is a pretense to say you are comfortable, for you are not. There is no doubt but New England has bad throat and lung trouble, yet so has Old England, and the hardening process does not save, if statistics are right. If I must take cold and die, at least I prefer to do so comfortably." When Mr. and Mrs. Lane decided to remove the unattractive mantlepieces from the house for which they had searched so diligently, they discovered that the English wooden mantels were "too expensive and clumsy." The suggestion was made that they do the purchasing in New York while on the visit they were about to make. The suggestion was acted upon and Mrs. Lane states: "We went to New York and there we bought three wooden mantels—six feet high and six feet wide—one of the best quartered oak, of so simple and graceful a design that they are always noticed and admired, and these three were packed, sent and landed at our front door in London, and the price, all included. was not much more than we should have paid for the only one in London of which I approved." ACCORDING TO RULE. Courting Sundays are Feature of Village Life in Holland. Holland is a place where primitive customs abound. Traditions are sacredly handed down and observed, and this veneration for ancient things has kept alive in the country what are known as courting Sundays. Throughout Holland the four Sundays of November are kept as fete days. They are named severally Review, Decision, Purchase and Possession Sundays. On Review Sunday everyone goes to church, and after service there is a church parade, when all the young men and maidens look at each other, but forbear speaking. On Decision Sunday each would-be benedict approaches the maiden of his choice with a ceremonious bow, and from her response judges whether he is acceptable as a suitor or not. On Purchase Sunday the consent of parents and guardians is sought, if the wooing during the week has been happy. Possession Sunday witnesses the first appearance of the various lovers before the world as actual or prospective brides and bridegrooms.—Pearson's Weekly. Story on Mark Twain. The Missouri papers are telling this story of Mark Twain's recent visit to the state: A big crowd gathered at a railway station to meet him. A little boy knew that somebody was coming, but he did not know Mark Twain from Bossie Francis. This kid perched himself on top of a freight car, where he could see what happened. The train rolled in, and as Mark stepped off the people became excited and shouted, "Here he is! Here he is!" The kid on the box car thought a great criminal had been caught, and shouted, "Git a rope! Git a rope!" Dr. Clemens laughed till the tears ran out of his eyes. MANY DASHED TO DEATH. Electric Car Crashes Down the Mountain Side. ELEVEN PEOPLE KILLED The Motorman Lost Control of His Car and the Brakes Refused to Work. Gloversville, N. Y., July 5.—A wreck which occurred on the Mountain Lake road late last night caused the almost instant death of eleven persons and one victim died in the hospital here early today. It is believed that several other victims will succumb to their injuries. The bodies of many of the victims were crushed and maimed almost beyond recognition and the scenes about the wreck were horrifying. The accident was caused by a combination baggage and passenger car getting away from the motorman and rushing down the mountain side at terrific speed. The brakes refused to work and at the end of the grade the heavy car crashed into a loaded open car, also descending the mountain. The latter was hurled from the track, turned on its side and over 50 per cent. of the passengers were injured. Those who were pinned directly under the car were crushed to death and in some instances terribly mutilated. The combination car also left the track and turned on its side. As the scene of the accident is remote from the city it was two hours before appliances to raise the open car and release the victims were secured Collide on Sharp Curve. The accident happened at a sharp curve where the track turns to make the climb up the steep mountain side. The wreck occurred at the end of a day of pleasure at the resort at the top of the mountain and the cars were loaded with excursionists. The car on which the dead and injured persons were riding was an open one in charge of Motorman Arthur Perkins and Conductor James Cameron, and the car which was responsible for the wreck was in charge of Motorman William Dodge. According to Conductor Cameron, of the open car, the closed car ran away while coming down the grade above the curve and collided with the open car as the latter was rounding the curve. Both cars then went down the grade at lightning speed. At the foot of the hill the cars came together again. Just before the rear car had reached the one ahead, the lights in the first car went out and added darkness to the horror. The heavy double car struck the other with such force that it raised the rear end of the first car into the air and over the right embankment on the side. Both cars were derailed and the passengers were thrown in every direction. Many were killed instantly, others died from their wounds immediately afterward. Names of the Victims. The following is a complete list of dead and most seriously injured: The dead, all of Gloversville: MRS. EDWARD J. BAIRD aged 68. MISS ELECTA BAIRD, 32. MISS MARGARET MAIN, 32. MRS. ORNAN EASTMAN.

Failed to Hold the Train Boulder, Col., July 5.—In the accident on the Chautauqua street car line, one woman was killed and twenty persons injured. The cars were heavily loaded and the chain brakes used on the trailers failed to hold the train. It rushed down the hill with tremendous velocity. The train overturning at a bend in the track at the Sisters of St. Gertrude's Academy. This is a distance of about four city blocks from the Chautauqua grounds. The motor car was badly wrecked, and it was in this and upon the platforms of other cars that most of the serious accidents occurred.

Banton, Hampton, Ia., foot cut off, and internally injured; may die. Robert Henry, 5 years old, leg broken. Passengers in a Panic. Chicago, Ill., July 5.—A motor car on the Metropolitan elevated railroad caught fire last night while passing Augusta street. There were 200 people on the train and a panic ensued. In the scramble that resulted a number of persons were crushed and two women are said to have been seriously injured. The motor car was destroyed by the fire and the car next to it was badly damaged. Four People Drowned. St. Paul, Minn., July 5.—The casualties of the Fourth near the Twin Cities include four drownings, and a large number of injuries from toy cannons, mud cans and other explosives. Those drowned were: John Buckley, in St. Croix lake, having fallen from the steamer Cyclone; D. W. Emerson in Lake Calhoun; Paul F. Thompson at Cedar lake, and William Rober in Kish lake, near Osseo. All four were residents of Minneapolis. PREMIER WILL QUIT. Lord Salisbury Said to be Desirous of Retiring from Public Life—His Successor. London, July 5.—At the earliest possible moment Lord Salisbury contemplates retiring from publif life. But that severance from the affairs of the empire which he has so long administered is not likely to come until after the coronation and it may possibly be still further delayed by now unseen reasons of state or politics. During the last few months the premier has more and more detached himself from the cares of office. With increasing age his dislike of publicity and dread of details which high officeholding involves have been strengthened into an antipathy so strong as to render even conservative leaders less importunate in their demands that he remain premier. Those who have recently been brought into contact with the, aged statesman privately comment on his absent-mindedness, which is only overcome by great effort when it is absolutely necessary for him to deliver a public utterance on a question of importance. Peace in South Africa having been procured, Lord Salisbury is said to consider the crowning of the King as the moment when his services to the nation may most fitly be ended. The curiously veiled intimation in the Times this morning, when, referring to the appointment of Schomberg McDonnell, principal private secretary of Lord Salisbury, to succeed Lord Esher as secretary of his majesty's office of works, that paper said it thought it doubtful if Lord Salisbury will try to find a new secretary, adding "that the appointment of Mr. McDonnell cannot fail to revive the rumor of the premier's resignation after the coronation," is the only notification here that the often-repeated rumor is now on the verge of becoming a fact. The Westminster Gazette (Liberal), while not professing to know the truth or otherwise of the Times' rumor, sadly admits that if Lord Salisbury retires it will not bring the Liberals into power and prophesies that the "Unionist party, if Salisbury goes, will probably move along the line of least resistance, make Mr. Balfour premier, leave Mr. Chamberlain at the colonies and exchange some old lamps for new by the process which is called reconstruction. How long the reconstructed government might last and whether Mr. Balfour and Mr. Chamberlain might not change places before the end of Parliament are questions which at present are too speculative to answer." AERONAUT DROPS DEAD. Fatal Termination of Balloon Ascension Parachute Cords Probably Gave Way. Mount Vernon, Ill., July 5.—Robert Holbrook, aged 23, a St. Louis aeronaut, who made a balloon ascension at the celebration here yesterday, was found dead a mile and a half from the starting point of the balloon. One theory is that the parachute cords gave way and that the parachute itself was turned wrong side out. It is estimated that Holbrook fell a distance of from 400 to 500 feet. Lafayette, Ind., July 5.-Jack Winters, an aeronaut from Jacksonville, Ill., had made an ascension here, expecting to descend by his parachute. He leaped out, but the ropes caught and he could not open the parachute nor loosen it from the balloon. He struck the ground, but was rendered unconscious for a time. Physicians think he will be all right in a few days. KID CURRY GANG. Believed to Have Perpetrated the Recent Robbery of Rock Island Express Train. Chicago, Ill., July 5.—That the members of the Kid Curry band of bank and train robbers, wanted for alleged complicity in the recent Union Pacific holdup perpetrated the robbery of the Rock Island express train at Dupont, Ill., Thursday night, is believed probable by detectives, 100 of whom are working on the case today. It was officially stated today by an officer of the United States Express Company that the robbers secured only $50 worth of jewelry. They carried away a package of worthless vouchers and other papers, but overlooked a package containing $100,000. MAN SHIPPED BY EXPRESS. Starts on a Journey in a Box, but is Discovered and Arrested. Niles, Mich., July 5.—As the American express' fast westbound train reached Marshall on the Michigan Central, Messenger George Hall was sorting express matter for transfer when he turned over a box which struck his experienced touch as being suspicious. The box was shipped as merchandise from Boston and was addressed to parties in Cheney, Wash. Messenger Hall tore the cover off the box and found a man within. The messenger searched the inmate of the box and finding him unarmed, replaced the cover, and at Kalamazoo the fellow was arrested. He had provisions in the box and stated that his friends shipped him as merchandise because he had no money and desired to go to Washington. He is a foreigner. AMNESTY FOR FILIPINOS President Puts Philippines Under Civic Control. PARDON FOR REBELS. Washington, D. C., July 5.—President Roosevelt has formally declared peace restored in the Philippines, placed the islands under civil control, and extended general amnesty to the Filipinos who have been in rebellion. These three things, marking one of the most important chapters in Philippine history, were accomplished through the issue of three separate orders and proclamations—one by the President over his own signature, extending amnesty; one through Secretary Root by the President's order, relieving Gen. Chaffee from his duties as military governor, and a third which takes the shape of a general order addressed to the entire army of the United States, in which Secretary Root takes occasion to express the President's high appreciation of the work it has accomplished, both in Cuba and in the Philippines. The amnesty proclamation is as follows; By the President of the United States-A Proclamation: Proclamation: Whereas, many of the inhabitants of the Philippine archipelago were in insurrection against the authority and sovereignty of the kingdom of Spain at divers times from August, 1896, until the cession of the archipelago by that kingdom to the United States of America, and since such cession many of the persons so engaged in insurrection have until recently resisted the authority and sovereignty of the United States, and Whereas, the insurrection against the authority and sovereignty of the United States is now at an end, and peace has been established in all parts of the archipelago except in the country inhabited by the Moro tribes, to which this proclamation does not apply; and Whereas, during the course of the insurrection against the kingdom of Spain and against the government of the United States persons engaged therein, or those in sympathy with and abetting them, committed many acts in violation of the laws of civilized warfare, but it is believed that such acts were generally committed in ignorance of those laws, and under orders issued by the civil or military insurrectionary leaders; and, Whereas, It is deemed to be wise and humane, in accordance with the beneficent purposes of the government of the United States toward the Filipino people, and conducive to peace, order and loyalty among them, that the doers of such acts who have not already suffered punishment shall not be held criminally responsible, but shall be relieved from punishment for participation in these insurrections, and for unlawful acts committed during the course thereof, by a general amnesty and pardon; Now, therefore, be it known, that I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States of Ametica, by virtue of the power and authority vested in me by the Constitution, do hereby proclaim and declare, without reservation or condition, except as hereinafter provided, a full and complete pardon and amnesty to all persons in the Philippine archipelago who have participated in the insurrection aforesaid, or who have given aid and comfort to persons participating in said insurrections, for the offenses of treason or sedition, and for all offenses, political in their character, committed in the course of such insurrections pursuant to orders issued by the civil or military insurrection authorities, or which grew out of internal political feuds or dissensions between Filipinos and Spanish or the Spanish authorities, or which resulted from internal political feuds or dissensions among the Filipinos themselves during either of said insurrections. Provided, however, that the pardon and amnesty hereby granted shall not include such persons committing crimes since May 1, 1902, in any province of the archipelago in which at the time civil government was established, nor shall it include such persons as have been heretofore finally convicted of the crimes of murder, rape, arson, or robbery by any military or civil tribunal organized under the authority of Spain or of the United States of America, but which special application may be made to the proper authority for pardon by any person belonging to the exempted classes, and such clemency as is consistent with humanity and justice will be liberally extended, and further. Provided, that this amnesty and pardon shall not affect the title or right of the government of the United States or that of the Philippine islands to any property or property rights heretofore used or appropriated by the military or civil authorities of the government of the United States or that of the Philippine islands organized under authority of the United States, by way of confiscation or otherwise, and. Provided, further, that every person who shall seek to avail himself of this proclamation shall take and subscribe the following before any authority in the Philippine archipelago authorized to administer oaths, namely: "I, ____, solemnly swear (or affirm) that I recognize and accept the supreme authority of the United States of America in the Philippine Islands, and will maintain true faith and allegiance thereto, that I impose upon myself this obligation voluntarily, without mental reservation or purpose of evasion, so help me God." Given under my hand at the city of Washington this fourth day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and two, and in the one hundred and twenty-seventh year of the independence of the United States. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. By the President. ELIJAH ROOT. Secretary of War. Pere Marquette Passenger Run Into by Main Line Flyer—Engineer Killed by Jumping. Traverse City, Mich., July 5.—A special Pere Marquette passenger train made up of an engine and two cars was run into late last night at Williamsburg by the regular main line flyer. Engineer Roy Pickett, of the special train, whose home is in Grand Rapids, jumped and struck his head on a switch standard. He was killed instantly. Fireman Dwyer also jumped and was severely injured. None of the passengers were hurt and the financial loss is not heavy. WILKIE IS WORRIED. Little Protection for President in Temporary White House. Washington, D. C.. July 5.—Chief Wilkie of the secret service says he will be glad when the President gets safely settled in Oyster Bay. The reason for Mr. Wilkie's nervousness lies in the fact that while transacting business in his temporary residence the President—unless he should choose to climb behind a desk or crawl under a bed—is necessarily in plain view of a dozen or more windows. "Why, goodness me," said the secret service officer who has been on guard around the President's office since the white house was vacated, "a man could sit in any one of those windows on H street and pick off the President with a rifle bullet and make his escape without any one being in the least aware where the shot came from. The President, always careless of his personal safety, has been in the habit of sitting at the windows or out in the yard with the members of the cabinet and other callers. It's a mighty lucky thing he is going to leave." HASTENED BY THE KING. Edward Overrules the Doctors and Says Coronation will Not be Delayed. London, July 8.—The news that the coronation of King Edward was to be held before the middle of August was published in America before it was known here. But the London Times and other papers this morning confirm the Associated Press announcement. From the same excellent source the Associated Press learns today, that the pressing forward of the coronation was due to the personal insistence of the King. His doctors were at first opposed to such an early date, but the King declined to agree to any other plans, and the doctors, finally realizing that more danger was likely to arise in opposing his majesty on this point, agreed to it. They now see the King was right and that it will be far better for him to get through the turmoil of the coronation as soon as possible than to have it hanging over him for months. King Edward has determined to break up the court at Buckingham palace until after the coronation. He may go on board his yacht for a few days' cruise, but he is more likely to remain in London until the affair is over and then take a prolonged holiday. The bulletin regarding the condition of King Edward posted at Buckingham palace at 10 o'clock this morning says: "The King's progress is all that can be desired." WOMEN BARRED OUT. Turners Refuse to Admit Them to Membership in Society—Would Tax Church Property. Davenport, Ia., July 8.—Women were barred from membership in the North American Turnerbund by a vote of 1834-5 to 1541-5, after a long and heated discussion. For some time there has been agitation looking toward the admission of women to the order, and advocates of the measure came to the national convention prepared to make a hard fight. A two-thirds vote is necessary to make the change. Women now have societies of their own which are affiliated with the Turners. An important place was given in the proceedings to a proposition to favor the taxation of church property, to which is pledged the support of Eastern delegates, in whose states much Turner society property is exempted from taxation. The proposition was generally supported by Western delegates. It was decided not to hold the next national turnfest until 1905, thus defeating the hopes of St. Louis and Chicago delegates for 1904. With great enthusiasm the bund adopted a resolution favoring free text books. Pittsburg secured the next business convention in 1904. Indianapolis was continued as the business headquarters, the Indiana district to elect head officers. The delegates were entertained last night with an excursion on the Mississippi river given by local Turners. SHORTS SQUEEZED. July Corn Sells at 90 Cents, the Highest Price Reached Since 1892—No Excitement in Pit. Chicago, Ill., July 8.—Shorts in July corn were squeezed again today and the cornered delivery went to 90 cents, the highest price since 1892, when the market touched $1. July closed at 84 cents yesterday, an advance of 7 cents over the previous close. Opening bids today were from 84 to 85 cents. Shorts were the bidders, and by running the market up to 90 cents a little before noon they got approximately 250,000 bushels. It is estimated that in selling this much the manipulators of the market made a profit of $60,000, as most of their line, estimated at 15,000,000 bushels, was purchased between 61 and 65 cents. No excitement was evident in the pit, although all were interested in the problem of where the Gates coterie would let the price advance to before easing their grip. The price is already far past the maximum at which Phillips allowed shorts to settle in his first and most successful deal. Shorts who have covered have paid heavily for the privilege and those who are still on the wrong side of the market are generally believed to be in the most serious predicament of a decade. PRESIDENT AT WORK. Official Business Transferred to Oyster Bay from Washington-An Anti- Trust Measure. Oyster Bay, L. L., July 8.—A tremendous rain storm kept the President in his Sagamore hill home early today. During the morning hours he was busy in his library with Secretary Cortelyou attending to a mass of official mail and disposing of some routine departmental matters that had been transmitted to him from Washington. A rumor gained currency today that John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers, would be here this afternoon; but if he should come it would be on his own responsibility and without having made an engagement to see the President. It is quite likely that in a week or ten days a conference will be held with the President by Representative Littlefield of Maine with respect to the anti-trust bill which Mr. Littlefield is drafting. This interchange of views will be made the basis of the first draft of the measure. While the executive offices in the town now are in possession of a corps of clerks the President has let it be understood that he will spend little time in them. Managua, Nicaragua, July 8. The Democracia of this city reports that the volcanoes of Mirad Valle and Rincond Vielja, in Costa Rica, situated respectively eighty and sixty miles southeast of Lake Nicaragua, are in active eruption. CORONATION SET FOR AUGUST. Ceremony to be Performed Between the 17th and 18th. London, July 8.—King Edward will be crowned between August 11 and August 15. The pageant through the streets and the ceremony at Westminster abbey will be much curtailed from the original plan. Their majesties will drive from Buckingham palace to the abbey through the mall to Whitehall and thence to the abbey, the same route as taken at the opening of Parliament. Earl of Arundel Dead. London, July 8.—The Earl of Arundel and Surrey, only son of the Duke of Norfolk, died this morning at Arundel castle, Sussex. He had been an idiot and a cripple since his birth, September 7, 1879.

Entered in the Postoffice at Milwaukee as Second-class matter. For a man whose health is said to be not of the best, J. Pierpont Morgan is a great diner-out. The increasing popularity of ping-pong may give fresh vogue to the song "After the Ball." --- It is unlikely that Mary MacLane astonished Chicago as much as Chicago astonished her. German promoters are closely watching J. Pierpont Morgan, to discover, if possible, how he performs the consolidation act. The quietude of Fitzsimmons and Jeffries indicates that they have at last decided to fight with their fists instead of with their tongues. When Aguinaldo comes, the anti-imperialists will wish they had a more impressive figure to trot about the country as a second Washington. Lazy people who ought to mow their lawns, but don't, may be interested in the news that there is now an "auto" lawn mower for all who have the price. Now that Congress has adjourned, those citizens who take delight in witnessing personal encounters will perhaps be able to content themselves with patronizing boxing matches. For most readers, the shuffle of the contending forces in Venezuela is enigmatical, because of the frequency of revolutions in that part of the world and the abundance of ambitious leaders. The public would have more interest in Mr Barrie's charge concerning Sir Thomas Lipton's yachting enterprises, if it could be convinced that he is not trying to use it to gratify a bit of spite. Miss Mary MacLane is going from Butte to Boston. "Butte to Boston" would make a good title for her next book; but perhaps "'Eute' to Boston" would conform more closely to her ideas. It appears that the indignation against Ambassador Choate's policy of cutting short the after-dinner speeches at the celebration of the Fourth in London was exhibited by those who had speeches to make, and not by those who were there to eat and drink and—listen. India's princes were banqueted by the Prince of Wales, and given an exhibition of social and ceremonial splendor that repaid them for the trouble of their long journey. Display is more potential than courtesy or hospitality with some of Britain's colonial attachments. It is again rumored that Sir Thomas Lipton will send another challenge for a series of races for the America's cup. There may be no truth in it, but it is evident that yachtsmen who may have secret aspirations are holding their peace until it is demonstrated that Sir Thomas has had enough. The Boston Herald's endorsement of the Oshkosh skimmer Tecumseh is a compliment to Lake Winnebago yachtsmen, whose handling of the Tecumseh after she had been beaten in the early races proved that the West can sail as well as build boats. To that class of authors who think of reviewers as men with a meat-ax there is food for reflection in the observation of Thomas Nelson Page that he is struck on reading the book notices in American newspapers at the number of geniuses constantly being discovered, and that he wonders what becomes of them all. Emperor William's Meteor isn't flashing through the blue water with a speed that justifies her name. She has been beaten four times; and although the Kaiser may not take Capt. Parker's advice and make her a motor yacht, he may conclude to have the Yankee builders tinker with the craft to find if possible the cause of her slowness. Sometimes tinkering completely alters the character of a yacht. When Botha, Dewet and Delarey come to the United States they will find that there has been no lack of sympathy for the struggling burghers who fought so persistently for a hopeless cause; and they will also realize why it would have been the height of unwisdom for the United States to have interfered in their behalf, as some misguided sympathizers demanded. Friendship linked with folly would have been utterly worthless. D. E. BEASLEY. No wiser selection could have been made than that of D. E. Beasley as chairman of the executive committee of the Minnesota Colored Republican League, to which office he was elected last Tuesday at the meeting of the organization held at Masonic hall on West Fifth street. Mr. Beasley as private messenger to Gov. Van Sant, owns a beautiful home, has a charming wife and two lovely children, one a son, Harris B. A. B. Beasley, 9 years of age, the other a little daughter, Miss Ruth, aged about 9 months. Mr. and Mrs. Beasley are old residents, and have a lovely home and Mrs. Beasley is a charming housekeeper. Her home is a model of neatness and elegance, one of the best the editor has ever seen. They have a charming niece, Miss Josie Harmon, who makes her home with them. The prince of St. Paul's Colored business men is Scott R. Walker, who runs a magnificent establishment at 374 Minnesota street, where the rarest wines, the finest liquors and the best cigars are always on hand. Mr. Walker conducts the swellest establishment of its class in the state of Minnesota and with the possible exception of the Turf, it is the best anywhere west of Chicago. Mr. Walker is well known in this city, which he recently visited to attend the opening [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. of the Turf by his old friend, J. L. Slaughter. Mr. Scott Walker is a strong race man, a jolly good fellow, gives liberally to charities and religious work, and interested in the Afro-American newspaper. When approached by the editor of the Advocate he became a subscriber at once. Mr. Walker is unmarried and is considered a good catch. The popular and well-known head waiter at the Hotel Ryan is Mr. William Evans, successor to the late Major Pettus, and already one of the most accomplished head waiters in the Northwest. In addition to being head waiter, [Name] he conducts two shining parlors in the business districts and does a thriving business. He is a widower and is considered one of the best looking men in St. Paul. He employs from forty-five to fifty men at the Hotel Ryan which itself needs no recommendation. He is feared, loved and respected by his men and has the confidence of his employers. "Aperitifs" Condemned. The French Academy of Medicine, at the unanimous request of the Chamber, has issued a report strongly condemning the drinks used as "aperitifs," or appetizers, by the bulk of the French middle and lower classes. After careful analysis Dr. Laborde, who was specially commissioned, declares that every quality of absinthe contains poisonous elements. He discards the fallacy that vermouth, or noyeau, is harmless. Chartreuse is dangerous in a lesser degree, and ought only to be used in tiny medical doses for specific purposes. French gin is a form of wood spirit, and the superstition which makes "vluneraire" a popular remedy in certain emergencies is perilous to human life. The Legislature ought, according to the report, to forbid the fabrication of these liquors and the immediate enforcing of the law of 1846 against absinthe. Dr. Laborde considers that the fiscal revenue loses as much as it gains by fraud or adulteration, and by the criminal or mental heredity caused by the terrible spread of alcoholism in France.—London News. Johnson commonly required three or four months for the composition of a drama. He generally revised it after the rehearsals had begun, adding here and taking away there, as his judgment and fancy dictated. Friday and Saturday Quick Selling Bargains in All Departments.

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. Harris, Chairman Executive Committee.

A most interesting story was told a Banner reporter concerning the original possession of the island of Martinique. The story concerns Mrs. S. C. Reese of this city, whose grandmother once owned a greater part of the volcanic isle. Mrs. Reese's grandmother was Mme. Gouvain, who was closely related in marriage to Count de Trobriand of France. She was an intimate friend of Josephine de Beauharnais, who afterward became the wife of the great Napoleon, and she left France on the night on which Napoleon married the Austrian princess, Marie Louise, and came to America. Not satisfied with her possession in the French West Indies after her coming to America, she traded her land on the island of Martinique to Count d'Estang, the gallant French officer to whom were given valuable lands in America for his service to the colonies during the revolution. Most of these lands were in the Southern states, and 20,000 acres were situated in Georgia, some of which embraced the present site of Athens, and others of which lay near Callulah Falls. Mme. Gouvain was advised by her agent to sell her possessions in Martinique on account of the volcanic condition of the country, and time has proved the wisdom of her choice. She was a very wealthy woman and in close confidence with the powers of the monarchy of France. Mrs. Reese has now in her possession a most gorgeous dress of her grandmother, which was worn at the marriage of Napoleon to Josephine Beauharnais and which is a priceless relic. The story of the division of the Gouvain estate, formerly belonging to d'Estang, is one of piecemeal separation and division until it became possessed by hundreds of relatives of the noted French woman. Mrs. Reese possesses much information in the shape of papers, maps, etc., concerning the island of Martinique, which descended from its original owner. Dveing of Milk. Evidence is accruing that the practice of adding artificial coloring matter to milk is increasing. Samples are commonly met with thus colored to give them a rich but false creamy aspect. The natural color of milk bears no relation necessarily to the amount of cream present. Annatto is the dye commonly used, and it is fortunate that it is harmless. Certain coal-tar dyes have, however, been detected in milk, and among them the sodium salt of dimethylanilineazobenzene-sulphonic acid.—Pearson's Weekly. He was Bunkered. A golfing magazine tells a story of a man who applied for the secretaryship of a club. "You understand," said the captain, "that we want a secretary, who is thoroughly accustomed to managing men." "In that case," answered the applicant, sadly, "I'm afraid it's not me you want, but my wife." He was bunkered.—London Globe.

Little Patrick's father has struck it rich in the Klondike, so he thought he would indulge in a severe attack of pneumonia, "just for a change." The doctor came, and, reading over the nurse's chart, said: "Patient refused to take medicine? Patrick, what does this mean? Why did you refuse to take medicine?" "Coz," said Patrick. "That's no reason," said the doctor. "Why did you do it?" "Coz," again said Patrick. "I must have a better reason than that." returned the doctor.

Pride of a New Orleans Man, Who Has One of Them. "Here is a cigar which was made for the Czar of Russia," said an euthisiastic plebian, as he yanked a cigar at least seven inches long of his pocket, "and I'll bet its one of the finest on the globe. It was given to me by a man who just dropped in from Havana, and he got it from a cigar firm there which has the contract for making all the cigars for the Czar. It is a special brand, of course, and great care is exercised in making them. Making cigars for princes and potentates and the crowned heads is a great business in Havana, and incidentally I may remark, from what well-posted men told me, that they turn the royal contracts to good use in more than one way. You see, it is a good advertising feature. It gives the cigarmakers a prestige which they cannot get in any other way. King Edward of England has his cigars specially made. By the way, that reminds me of the fact that we frequently find cigars in this country which are frequently labeled with the English coat of arms, just as the cigars are labeled which are made specially for his majesty the King of England. "Of course, they are not the same cigar. It is simply a catch system. All the cigars that are made for crowned heads by Cuban manufacturers are bought by the men they are made for, and scrupulous care is exercised in the matter. The only men who ever get any of these cigars either get them on orders from royal personages or they get them as guests of the royalty. A particular kind of tobacco is used in the manufacture of these cigars. Take a case for instance, of the Czar of Russia. Cigars that are made for him are branded with the Russian coat of arms, and he buys all the cigars the factory can make out of the material and in the way specified in his order. But, of course, the cigar I have is one of the lot, because it comes from the factory. I suppose it was squeezed out of the box in some way. They had one over, and I was lucky enough to get it. I expect to lay off for a day so I can smoke it at my pleasure, and then I will be able to tell whether the Czar has an educated and refined taste for tobacco.—New Orleans Tmes-Democrat. German Carp Take the Hook. Numbers of German carp were caught with hook and lien along the river front Saturday morning. some of them measuring from 12 to 18 inches in length and selling readily at 10 cents each. Heretofore the few fishermen who delighted to sit around the docks down town and indulge in their favorite pastime were rewarded only by landing an occasional catfish, hence the news that good big carp were biting in the various docks brought large numbers of amateur anglers to the river front, with more or less success. It is estimated that about 300 fine carp were caught during the day and the veteran piscatorialists upstreet were "put to it" to explain the phenomenon. Some said the catch was due to a stock of small carp placed in the river years ago, but the most plausible theory, and one advanced by John J. Fowler, was that the supply is from some valuable fish pond in the upcountry, which was probably broken by the recent heavy rains.—Wilmington (N. C.) Star. The total value of Canada's mineral products in 1900 reached over $63,000,-000, or $12 a head of the population.

Aft- er the invocation by Kev. Dr. Butler, on motion the reading of the list of accred- jted delegates was dispensed with. Gen. Bryant appointed Zeno M. Host secretary, F. E. MeGovern first assistant secretary, C. O. Maas second assistant secretary, E. E. Smith official stenogra- pher, William Helm _ sergeant-at-arms and F. W. Gilman assistant sergeant-at- arms.

Senator McGillivray imme- diately secured the floor and moved that all resolutions and amendments offered be referred to the committee on resolu- tions without being read. It was unani- mously adopted. Chairman Bancroft then ordered the roll call of congressional districts for an- nouncement of the committees on reso- lutions and permanent organization. Gen. Bryant informed the convention that the committee on resolutions was at liberty to meet in the Senate chamber. Gen, Winkler presented the Spooner reso- lutions, and then Chairman Phillipp of Milwaukee offered another set, both be- ing referred to the committee on resolu- tions without comment. A motion to adjourn to 3 o'clock was declared lost, although a majority seemed. to think it was carried. A motion to adjourn until 4 o'clock carried. The New State Central Committee.

At 8:15 Chairman Bancroft rapped the convention to order for the evening ses- sion, and after making a number of an- nouncements called for the eet of the committee on resolutions. Chairmau Chynoweth responded. He said Secretary Edmunds had not arrived, but he was expected to reach the hall presently. A few moments later, before the delegates had time to become restless the secretary of the committee arrived. He was es- corted at once to the platform. He read the perors amid a quiet that would seem could hardiy be possible with such a vast assemblage of sweltering people. The oes was soon broken, how- ever, when Mr, Edmunds read that por- tion of the report in which Senator Spooner's name was mentioned in com- plimentary terms. A thousand voices rent the air with shouts ond round after round of applause greeted this allusion. The platform pleased the multitude and it gave vent to pent up feelings in a most robustious manner. But this shoui- ing and cheering was eclipsed when the name of Gov. La Follette was mentioned. It was worse than bedlam let loose and the cheering was long and continued. The enthusiasm was intense and it was reaching a high pitch rapidly. The dele- gates were in excellent humor ond a spirit of good cheer prevailed up*to this point. Then it was, at the conclusion of the reading of the report, that the first — was fired by the friends of Senator pooner, who wished an unqualified en- dorsement both of his past record and of him as a candidate for re-election. J. W. Walirich. presented the minority re- ea aoe reeks. ae signed by Mr. ich, F.C. W Williems. eae ganeares Winkler’s Appeal for Spooner. Gen. Winkler of Milwaukee said justification of his course in signin, a phe agra heap lpr tng cbaelirr Gen ese Bhgsps are, =62t IS Upon fis recorGd taal we demand for re-election is based,’ he said. “It is not necessary and it is an insult to a man like Senator Spooner to exact pledges.” _There was a disapproving demonstra- tion at this statement, but Gen. Winkler insisted that if Senator Spooner should be endorsed at all it should be on his record. _It was evident that the eo were tired of debate and the chairman put the question, the roll being called by | counties. The result was 353% voted for the substitute and 709% voted against it. It_was declared lost. "The platform which was finally adopt- ed is as follows: We, the Republicans of Wisconsfa, In con- vention assembled, reaffirm our support of the principles of the party as represented in the last national platform and as loyal- ly exemplified in the policies of administra- tion by William McKinley and Theedore Roosevelt. Lamenting the enduring loss to the country in patriotism and statesman- ship through the untimely death of Presi- dent McKinley we testify our confidence in the ability of his successor worthily to ad- minister the high trust; and we record our appreciation of his splendid courage and un- Majding integrity made manifest in his of- fielal conduct. 2 We approve the public service of Wiscon- sin representatives in both houses of Con- ess. ewe especially commend the official career of Hon. John C. Spooner who, by, bis not- ably able, conservative and patriotic course upon questions of national and = interna- tional importance, has become recognized hs a leader In the United States Senate. We again express our regret for his an- nounced determination not to serve the state another term in the Senate, and should he now find it possible to reconsider this decision and express his willingness to stand as a candidate in harmony with the sentiment and in support of the plat- | form principles here adopted by Wisconsin | Republicans in state convention, and for | the election of a Legislature favorable | tp their enactment into law, his decision would meet the general approval of Re- publicans everywhere, and we pledge him the enthusiastic eERDOES of the party for his re-election .to the pe a which he has filled with such distinguished abil- ity and with such great honor to the state and nation. And in case Senator Spooner shall not find St possible to again be a can- didate for United States senator, we de- mand that all candidates for this position shall endorse the principles of the platform and fayor the election of a Legislature pledged to enact these principles into law. We adopt the last Republican state plat- form and reaffirm its principles. We endorse and approve the administra. tion of Gov. Robert M.

We heartily endorse the careful. con- seientious and judicious work of the tax commission, as shown by its reports and recommendations to the last Legislature, and give assurance of support in the advancement to completion of Its dif- ficult task.

And we ask that all candidates for Senate and Assembly at the coming election be called upon by the voters to give assurance of their support of measures In accordance with these pledges made by the party, and we here record our censure of those’ who for purely selfish purposes have obstructed the earlier fulfillment of these party obliga- tions.

Madison, Wis., July 17.—Little time was lost by the convention in A epee down to business this morning. e sul- fering because of the heat yesterday afternoon and last night was sufficient to make the delegates anxious to rush matters and conclude the business with an cea aR CA ARI RATES NY ie nto 8 $$ $$ $s as little delay as possible, so they began to gather early. $ gavel fell sharply and the convention came to order. Matheson Names Whitehead. Four minutes later the roll call for nominations for governor began. Re- sponding to the call of the Fourth. dis- trict, A. E. Matheson made his way to the platform to present the name of Senator Whitehead amid great applause. When Senator Whitehead’s name was presented a roar went up, the Stalwarts arising and shouting for their favorite. Chynoweth Nominates La Follette. The tall form of H. W. Chynoweth arising in response to the call of the Third district presaged the presentation of.the governor's name, and for the first time this morning did the applause come near equaling the wildness of last night. It was 9:50 o’clock when Mr. Chynoweth began to talk. When Mr. Chynoweth concluded there was an interesting scene. Mrs. La Follette, who was on the platform, seized Mr. Chynoweth’s hand and shook it warmly. : It required twenty-five minutes to poll the vote. In the Fifth district five votes were cast for Gov. Scofield and in the Sixth district three for W. H. Froelich. The total vote cast was 1064, there be- ing one delegate absent. R. M. La_Fol- lette received 790; John M. Whitehead, 266; Edward Scofield, 5; William H. Froehlich, 3. fi i Hats and fans went up into the air on the announcement of the result of the ballot. = Made Unanimous. With a roar of applause the informal ballot was unanimously made formal. A committee of five was appointed to wait on the governor and bring him be- fore the convention. Senator McGillivray moved that nom- inating speeches be limited to ten min- utes men seconding speeches to five, which carried. B The chair appointed Senator J. LH. Stout, Gen. C. F. Winkler, J. C. Kerwin, Senator O. G. Munson and BE, L. Philipp to wait on the governor. The convention then proceeded to the nomination of a _lieutenant-governor, A. H. Long of Madison nominated J. O. Davidson of Crawford county, re- ferring briefly in doing so to his record as state treasurer. A delegate in the Ninth district wanted the nomination by ac- clamation, but objection was made. ‘Attorney F. C. Boden of Milwaukee placed the name of H. August Luedtke of Milwaukee before the convention for lieutenant governor, as a man whose rec- ord and character would bear the closest scrutiny, and a man who has been op- osed to everything in form Republican But in essence Populistic. This remark was greeted with hisses and shouts of disapprova:. Davidson Nominated. The vote for lieutenant governor was practically the same as that for gov- ernor, the Stalwarts supporting Luedtke and the La Follette men Davidson. The main difference in the ballot was due to the fact that some of the dele- gates were obliged to leave the hall be- cause of the intense heat. It was high noon when the balloting was completed for lieutenant governor. Because of the torrid atmosphere in the convention hall many of the spectators had left the building so that while every bit of available space was taken when the convention came to order there was lots of room at noon. Varsity Yell for La Follette. | It was exactly high noon when Gov. ‘La Follette appeared. In an instant the convention was on its feet. With an en- ‘thusiasm never excelled even on a vic- torious football field, the varsity yell was given and then thrice repeated. - For a moment there was quiet when ‘Chairman Bancroft presented | Senator Stout, who in turn did likewise with Gov. La Follette, presenting him as not only the preset, but the future goyv- ernor. “When the governor stepped forward ‘the varsity yell again Broke forth, this time even with greater vigor and wilder enthusiasm. Six times was the well- ee cry sppeenee and ending with a mighty roar. For nearly ten minutes the ovation continued, deiegates climbing on chairs, waiving hats, fans and coats in giving vent to wildest feeling. _ Meanwhile the governor stood smiling, continuously bowing. | La Follette Speaks. 'The governor spoke with great empha- | sis and was frequently interrupted. “Give it to em, Bob,” a delegate would shout. _ The governor would smile and then ‘when the applause subsided, proceeded to do so.* Goy. La Follete spoke as follows: Gentlemen: I am informed by your com: mittee of my nomination for ‘governor of the state of Wisconsin by the Revublican Be which you represent here in con- ‘vention. I accept the nomination with 2 ‘decy sense of the honor which is con- ferred and of the duty which is tmposed. 1 ain grateful for the approval of the ncts of the administration by the Republican ‘party for which you are authorized to sspesk, and to which you have given strong expression here today. — Called for a second ‘time to represent the Republican party as its candidate for governor, permit ” me ‘through you to convey my profound ap- preciation to your constituents for this evi- dence of their continued contidence. When William McKinley was _ offictally notiiied of his renomination for the: pres!- dency, he was able to say that faith with ‘the péople had been kept; that the pledges ‘made to the people by the Republican party had been redeemed. It has been the proud boast of the party from Lincoln to Roosevelt that its epee were always honored. A citizen of this country could at any time ascertain the Mnes upon which the Republican party would legislate by consulting its platform declarations. — Tt never equivocated; it never dodged; it never straddled. In plain terms it present- is its promises. In good faith it redeemed em. | Political platforms must be upheld if po- tical parties are to be maintalned. ‘Thetr declarations are the expression of the de- erste Judgment, the consensus of opinion, the common intent, the generally accepted ‘ing well understood policy of the party on important issues. Vlaform pledges express the convictions of the ay and are the inducements Piece ting by the party for the votes of the people. They are the party's promise to lo specific things, They fre the voter's guide in determining with what party he months the debate has been on. If the arguments haye not always been addressed to reason, if the disenssion has not always been parliamentary, at least the lines have ee clearly drawn and the count finally There can be no misunderstanding as to the Republican [pet of 1902. What- ever difference of opinion individuals may have heretofore entertained. as Republicans they must now acquiesce in the expressed will of the party. It has — in no un- certain voice for the enactment of these platform declarations into law in twenty- three of the thirty-three senate districts and on ae of the one hundred assembly districts of the state. It has proclatmed by overwhelming majority, fiom Lake Supertor to the Illinois iine, that its Cc shall now be made good to the jast letter. Twenty-nine years ago, before a cuitured andicnce in the Assembly chamber of the capitol, Chief Justice _— made a warn: ig cam I see him now as then— his bowed figure, his keeps cae face, his luminous eyes, through which, undimmed with age, shone the genius of one of the re intellects of the last century. Again hear his vibrant voice across almost a generation of time: “There is looming up a new and dark power. I cannot dwell upon the signs and shocking omens of its advent. Tne accn- mulation of individual wealth seems to be greater than it.ever has been since the dowufall of the Roman empire. And the enterprises of the country are aggregatin, vast corporate combinations of anexampled capital, Sot marching, not for economic conquests only, but for political power. We see their colors, we hear their trum- pets, we distinguish the sound of prepara- ‘Hon’ In their camps. For the firet the ‘really in our politics, money is taking the field’ as an organized owes: It is un- ‘scrupulous, arrogant and overbearing. Al- ready, here at home, one great corporation has trifled with the sovereign power and insulted the state. There is great fear that it and its great rival have confederat- ed to make paitition of the state and share it as spoils. Wealth has its rights. Industrial wealth has its honors. These it is the duty of the law to assert and pro- tect, though wealth has great power of self-protection and influence beyond the limits of Integrity. But money as a politi- cal Influence is essentially corrupt; is one of the most dangerous to free institutions: by far the most dangerous to the free.and just administration of the law. = It Is en- titled to fear, if not to respect. The question will arise, and arise in your day, ‘though perhaps not fully in mine: which shall rule—wealth or men; which shall lead—money or intellect; who shall fll pub- lle stations—educated and patriotic free men, or the feudal serfs of corporate capital?” How prophetic his words! The greatest danger menacing republican institutions today is the overbalancing con- trol of city, state and national legislatures by the wealth and power or public service Sree This is not more marked with one political party than with another. It deals with public officials. It makes no political distinctions, It cannot be cured by denunciation. It cannot be defended by the ery of “purist” or “populist” or “deiagogue.” It goes directly to the root of government. It threatens to sap the life of American citizenship. The voter elcets the candidate; the corporation con- trols the official. It'leaves the citizen the semblance of power which is actually exer- clsed against him. The problem presented 1s 2 momentous one. It calls for no appeal to passion or prejudice or fear. It calls for ee and patriotism and salf-saerifice. It calls for solution. Shall the American people be- come servants instead of masters of their boasted material progress and prosperity— victims of the colossal wealth this free land has fostered and protected? Surely our great cities, our great states, our great na- tion, will not helplessly surrender to this most insidious enemy which is everywhere undermining official Integrity and American institutions. Surely the party of Abraham | Lincoln which abolished slavery, which kept the United States undivided upon the map «ft the world, will not abandon its traditions, Its memorles, its hopes, and be- come the instrument of Injustice and op- pression. It will do its plain duty now, as it did In that greatest epoch of the | country’s history. It will meet the Issues (with rectitude and unfaltering devotion, | Strong in the faith of ultimate triumph. Gentlemen of the convention, the contest | for equal and just taxation and nominations |b direct vote Is not yet completely wou. The nomination which you have just, ten- dered me is the unmistakable, the emphatic demand of the Republican party for the prompt enactment of chese laws. But be- tween that expressed will and the ripening of these nieasures Into law, there are cau- /cuses and conventions for the nomination /of candidates for the Senate and Assembly. When the Legislature convenes there are the same forces to be met and contended with that led to the undoing of the last Legisiature. I appeal te you, and through ‘you to the people of the state, to be vigilant to the last hour, Do not relax your efforts until this good work Is finished. _Let no man be named for the Legislature who Is not fully In accord with the Repub- lean platform. Name only men who are | willing to go on record for this legislation, who tire free from all entanglements — or | complications that may foree them to vote | contrary to desire snd conscience. Wher- “ever senators or assemblymen already have been nominated, let them openly and pub- ‘liely proclaim thelr position with respeet to these Issues. This {x equally the right of vhe party and the public. |. Gentlemen, the contest through which we have just passed strengthens the pillars of government by the people and for the peo- ple. It teaches the sacredness of public obtigation. It elevates moral standards in -publie life. These are lessons which we should cher- Ish. Let all else of this contest be for- gotten. It does not signify who began it, or why it wes begun. It has been decided. Let that suffice. I do not treasure one personal Injury or lodge in memory one personal insult. With individuals i have no quarrel and will have none. The span of my Ife Is too short for that. But so much as it pleases God to spare unto me I shall give, whether In the public service or out of it, to the contest for good govern- ment. Eyery pledge of the platform whieh you have adopted here today has my unquall- fied approval, and, If elected, I shall, in so far as the direction of public affairs Is committed to me, faithfully strive to carry out these pledges. I accept a nomination firm in the resolution to discharge every duty that de- volves upon me conscientiously, sustained by the abiding conviction that the Repub: lican party will redeem Its pledges and press on to other victories. If again chosen chief executive of this commonwealth, it will be my Bighest en- deavor personally, and with the ald of my associates In office and the co-operation of the legislative department, to give the peo- ple of Wisconsin an efficient and economic state gevernment, honestly administered In a spirit of justice to all men and to all interests. The late adjournment and the hot weather made the delegates slow in as- sembling for the afternoon session so that it was 2:30 o'clock before Chairman Ban- croft brought his gavel down. There were few spectators in the building, the long line of chairs in the rear of the delegates’ seats and in the galleries being mostly vacant. e On motion of Fred Lorenz nominations for secretary of state were called for. In order to hasten matters nominating speeches were limited to five minutes and seconding speeches to two minutes, and the number of speeches be limited to oue nominating and one seconding. Houser Placed in Nomination. The Seventh district was called before there was any response and then J. W. Whelan of Mondovi arose to nominate Walter L. Houser of the same town. Farr Withdraws. When the Tenth district was reached Assemblyman Cady of Marshfield, stand- ing on a chair, announced that the name ie Joseph R. Farr would not be pre- ‘sented to the convention. Mr. Farr, he said, decided to mithiges®, from the con- test this noon, but he was anxious to thank his friends and assure the conven: tion of his loyalty to the party and his warm support of the platform and the ‘nominee. Senator Mead of the Eleventh district was roundly applanded when he took the ‘platform to piece Rock J. Flint in nom- ination. | On the informal ballot Walter Houser received 639 votes and Rock Flint 423. 4, Zhe vote for secretary, like that pee ieutenant-governor, was practically nn eee ne pee {same as that recorded for governor, the Stalwarts voting for Flint. The informal ballot was declared for- mal and Walter Houser of Buffalo de- clared the nominee for secretary of state. Kempf Placed in Nomination. At 3:30 o'clock the chairman called ‘for nominations for state treasurer. Peter Koehler of Milwaukee presented John J. — In so doing vr Koeh- ler told of the —— career of Mr. Kempf and said one of his essential characteristics was loyalty to his party. A. W. Pott of Sheboygan nominated Joseph G. End for state treasurer as a representative of a section famous for its cheese, chairs and children, claiming recognition at this time because of the remarkable growth of Repubiicanism in Sheboygan county. Jardine is Urged. In a voice that could not be under- stood by half the delegates, a delegate frem Fond du Lac nominated Leander Ferguson of Brandon. E. E. Brown of the Eighth district pleaded for recogni- tion for Waupaca county, one of the @rongest Republican counties in the state. Senator O'Neill, in behalf of the Eleventh district, nominated L. A. Clau- sen for statet reasurer. g The result of the ballot for treasurer was announced as follows: Totnl num- ber cast, 1061; Ferguson, 5; Claussen, 27; Kempf, 614%; End, 414.

Excessive Kindliness of Heart Productive of Amusement. Excessive kindliness of heart, when al- lied to a blundering courtesy, is occasion- ally productive of an amusing incident. Of such is the following: A president in recent times of one our royal colleges was noted for the possession of a trim littie yacht, which he was fond of sailing in one of the reaches of the River Thames. One day the president had the misfortune to capsize his craft, with the consequent result ot complete immersion. He was immediately assisted ashore and a change of clothing provided at an ad- jacent boathouse; this, however. did not include a hat of any description. The president, who is an old man, and cor- respondingly bald, stood shivering, his scant hair uncomfortably stirred by the breeze. His plight was observed with respectful compassion by one of the stu- dents of the college who had witnessed the ee and offered his own headgear. he president, « however, seemed reluctant to accept it, sane “It I take yours, what will you do?” “Oh, sir,” said the student, “it doesn’t matter for me. I’ve got hair on my head.” This statement was accepted as final by the resident, together with the cap, and he frughed heartily at what, after all, was ot wholly a one-sided joke, for the con- Eternation of the student may be better imagined than described.—Candid Friend. He Found a “Curio.” Seven years ago a man, in passing a rag aud bone shop in the Paris slums, saw an old gene lying among a lot of cast off clothing in the window, and be- ing a collector of curios, he went in and secured it for the trifling sum of 3 francs. He took his purchase home, and when it had been cleaned he was astonished to see the signature of Rembrandt, with the date 1629 in one corner. Experts proved that the panel was indeed the work of the great master, and shortly afterward the owner refused £4,000 for the curio which the poor shopkeeper bad long been unable to get half a crown for.—Iondon Tit-Bits. _ NORTH OR SOUTH Always ask for tickets via the THE SHORT LINE BETWEEN Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Louisville Six trains daily between Chicago and the Ohio river.

La Crosse, Wis., July 8.—[Special.]— Miss Hattie Brown, age 26, formerly of Trempealeau, from which place she came to La Crosse some time ago, has been sent to the Mendota asylum for the insane after four different attempts to commit suicide. The first time any- thing wrong was discovered was a cou- ple of days ago when her ‘Paes dis- covered her running around the house ‘with a carving knife. She attempted to eut her throat, but was frustrated and seer to slay her saviors. A short time later she tried the carbolic acid route, but was discovered again. Then she rushed down through town and at- ‘tempted to find relief in the deep Missis- sippi river, but was caught while mak- ing ready to leap into the cool, inviting waters. Failing in this she again got hold of a butcher knife and being caught trying to cut her throat made havoe with the peace of mind of the neighbors by chasing them with the knife brandished in air. Finally she was examined by Drs. G. E. Powell and J. A. Rowles, and declared temporarily insane. a eee IS FATALLY INJURED. Robert Hall, Chief Lineman of Wiscon- sin Telephone Company, Falls from Telegraph Pole. Racine, Wis., July 9.—{Special.]— Robert Hall, the chief linesman and chief electrician of the Wisconsin Tele- phone Company in this city, was perhaps fatally injured shortly before noon to- day, by falling from a telegraph post’ to the pavement below, a distance of over twenty feet. Mr. Hail struck on his head and sus- tained a fracture of both hips, the left leg and several bad cuts about the head, besides being internally injured. He was unconscious when picked up and at St. Luke’s hospital, whether he had been removed, it was stated that Mr. Hall ‘would not recover from his injuries. A number of poles were blown down by the storm on Monday and Mr. Hall in company with a crew of men went out this morning to make repairs. While on the pole fixing a fuse which had burned out, Mr. Hall came in con- taet with a live wire and, although he tried to save himsif from falling, the shock was too great and he was precil. tated to the pavement. Mr. Hall was well known as a Knight Templar and also as a Knights of Pythias. He was married only a month ago and is survived by his newly wedded wife. Three Women, Including Mrs. Scofield of Milwaukee, Have Narrow Escape from Drowning. Baraboo, Wis., July 9.—[Special.]— Mrs. William Scofield of Milwaukee, Mrs. H. P. Jones of this city and Mrs. H. G. Jones of Delton had a narrow es- cape from drowning in Mirror lake. While waiting for the steamer the three ladies concluded to take a short trip in a row boat, but when only a short dis- tance from the shore the craft capsized and all were thrown into the water. F. S. Scofield and H. P. Jones were on the shore and at once proceeded to resene the ladies, which was done with considerable difficulty as the water is very deep at the steamer landing. Mr. Scofield was so excited that he jumped into the water with a coat on one arm and with an umbrella on the other. Notwithstanding this handicap he was able to effect the rescue.

REFUSES TO PAY TAXES ON FISH IN HATCHERIES. H. C. Pierce, Residing Near West Supe- rior, Declines to Pay Amount Assessed. West Superior, Wis.,July 9.—[{Specialj —Can fish in a private hatchery and iu private ponds be assessed and taxed? That question is likely to be taken into the courts here for determination. The town of Nebagamon, in this county, and H. C. Pierce, president of the Mexican Central railway and a resident of St. Louis, disagree upon the question, The assessor of that town put Mr. Pierce down on the rolls this year for $35,000 worth of property in the shape of fish. Mr. Pierce has a private hatchery, larger than any in the state, a few miles south of Nebagamon on the Brule river, ant has been hatching fish there for the past few years.

AACE RIOT AT LA CROSSE, Americans and Assyrians Engage in a Fierce Battle, SEVERAL ARE INJURED, Foreigners Have Been in Habit of Rais- ing Disturbance When They Came to Town. La Crosse, Wis., July 7.—[Special.]— The race war between Americans and Assyrians, which culminated in the riot Saturday night, has caused such intense feeling on both sides that it is expected that other troubles will occur before the ‘matter is settled. The leading par- ticipants of the Saturday night riot were brought into court today. Jack Mur- phy, Abe Lockman and Louis Wachter, the three Americans, the worst cut up by the Assyrians are out’ today, the stab wounds not being serious. The story as told by the Americans is that the Assyrians who have come in- to town three or four hnudred strong in the past couple of years, claim absolute ownership to that part of town, which they inhabit and where they have bought much property. The immediate cause of the trouble Saturday night was the refusal of a patty of Assyrians to let Hans and Carl ‘oehr get a drink at a public artesian fountaiu on the street corner. This brought on blows and the Assyrians called for help and were answered by a hundred‘ dusky mer armed with clubs and knives appearing from the neighbor- ing buildings. The Americans, too, were reinforced ond a_ pitched battle with knives and clubs between the warring factions was the result. First the Assy- rians were vanquished, but they gained more reinforcements 2nd charged the Americans, gaining a temporary victory. The Americans, however, finally out- numbered and overpowered the Assy- rians and beat some of them into in- sensibility. Their names cannot be learned, as they were dragged back to the nearby houses and hidden by the Assyrians. Severa. shots were fired, out no on* hit. he Assyrians weie free with their stillettos and many Amevicaus were badly cut, but not seriousy. A platoon of police stepped the rioting sud sent the Assrrians iu their homes. During last night several appeared at one of the police substations, stating that someone was shooting into their houses. The police, however. were un- able to locate the parties using the fire- arms. Feeling runs high between the warring factions The trouble is the outgrowth of former minor leushes and it is feared will yet result in bloodshed. There were at least 300 participants in the riot Saturday night and the streets were jammed with fully 800 spectators. The Assyrians held a mass meeting at a house on Mill street, Sunday, but re- fuse to state what transpired. They say it was a meeting of one of their se- eret societies. A second riot was narrowly ayerteil here last evening by the police. A bus load of Assyrians passing down Mill street, caused a renewal of the trouble of Saturday evening. The Assyrians were attacked by_a mob of about 100 men and boys. The police arrived in time to avert any serious trouble. MILWAUKEE SELECTED.

The ball is over, in a pretty boudoir, lighted only by a taper and the flames that flicker on the hearth, the belle of the evening recalls her triumps. She has wheeled the easy chair within the circle of firelight, and its fitful gleams %reveal her, wraithlike, in the white ball dress that is scarcely whiter than the face above it. An hour ago, one of a brilliant throne, her glancing feet kept time, unwearied with the measures or the latest waltz. An hour ago! Yet the cheek that is pressed against the downy cushions has lost its bloom; gone is the sparkle from her eyes, and the crimson roses on her breast are drooping, dying. She holds in her hand a jewel casket, and slowly, with half-reluctant admiration, lifts from their satin nest a string of glowing rubies, laying them against her bare white throat. "Fit for a princess," she murmurs: "but what a price to pay! I am to trample my heart underfoot, forsooth; and all that the world—my world—most prizes, is mine. To be admired, courted, the observed of observers, is as the very breath of life to me. Why do I hesitate? With his name, his millions, there are no heights in the social scale that I would not dare. And yet—what did I read in the bold gaze that followed me everywhere tonight? Not love. Passion, admiration, it may be—love wears not the guise of a serpent seeking its prey. Ah! well. He wishes a handsome figurehead for his establishment. I long for wealth and position—a barter one sees every day. So shall it be." The flames die out upon the hearth, and amid the gray ashes a single ember glows. The woman shivers, murmuring: glows. The woman shiver, indulging. "How cold it has grown! I seem to see phantom faces on every side—his face, as I saw it yesterday. One moment his eyes met mine as my carriage whirled by, and oh, the reproach in that glance! Enough of this. I will ring for my sleeping draught and drink oblivion." Her hand seeks the bell to rouse the sleeping maid; she hesitates, then lifts to her lips the flowers dropping on her breast. "‘Send back to me one little rose,’ he said, ‘that I may know I can hope.’ Ah, Robert, my love, my own—once I thought the world well lost, gazing into your earnest eyes! “It seems so long ago, that happy summer. "Do you remember, dear, as I do, that quiet country lane where the wild roses ran riot? And there was the lilac-scented graden where our mornings were passed, and the lake where we gathered water lilies. I was Marion to you—never the society butterfly. Though you wooed not boldly, I well knew the words you longed to speak; and often I pictured another and a better life, when I should place my hand in yours, and we should go forth into the world together. But that is past; why dally with fate! Sleep is not for me this night, until the words that seal my destiny are penned." Again her hand is on the bell; then, turning, she seats herself at the escritoire. The trim maid who enters noiselessly in answer to the summons marvels much at the carelessness of her mistress, as her glance falls on a chain of rubies, trailing its glittering length upon the hearthrug. And with the crimson roses resting above her heart, the maiden writes.—New York Daily News. A GREAT SALT FIELD. How Product is Obtained in the Middle of the Colorado Desert. In the middle of the Colorado desert, a little to the north of the Mexican border, and 264 feet below the level of the sea, lies a field of crystallized salt more than a thousand acres in extent, presenting a surface as white as snow, and beneath the noondare glare of the sun so dazzling that the naked eye cannot stand its radiance. It stretches away for miles and miles about Salton, Col., an ocean of blazing, blistering white. Here daily throughout the year men are at work overturning the great deposit with massive plows and scrapers, getting it into great piles preliminary to putting through the refining process. The salt plows used to secure the harvest are great four-wheeled implements, driven by steam and managed by two men. The salt crust is thrown up in parallel ridges, then laborers with hoes work it to and fro in the water, washing out the dirt, preliminary to stacking it in mounds to be taken to the mill. Salt springs in adjacent foothills are constantly contributing to the deposit, and so heavily laden are they with almost pure salt that the plow has hardly passed on before a new crust has formed in the furrow left. This fact renders it unnecessary to operate more than a small portion of the vast deposit. At present only ten acres are worked As may be supposed, work in these fields is performed under the most trying conditions. No white man can stand the intense heat, and for this reason the work is done wholly by Japanese and by Coahiuila Indians. Of these the Indians are by far the better adapted to the work, the Japanese performing only one portion, sewing the sacks in which the salt is shipped. The atmosphere, laden as it is with particles of salt, gives rise to a painful thirst, and the only available drinking water comes from a single well. It is warm and ill tasting. Beautiful mirages frequently appear above the great salt field in the daytime, sky pictures of magnificent cities and flower-dotted, tree-shaded fields. The moonlight, too, produces wondrously beautiful effects upon the great field of gleaming salt. For several weeks in the year the thermometer on the salt fields averages 140 degrees, and the reflection of the sun produces a glare like that from a furnace. The deposits vary in thickness from 10 to 20 inches, and form a solid crust over the great marsh. It is estimated that about 700 tons are now lowed up daily. New York Tribune. Uses Mast for a Smokestack. A New York yacht owner, W. G. Jameson, is having built for him by Designer Fife, who fashioned Shamrock I. for Sir Thomas Lipton, a shallow draught motor schooner of about forty tons which has many original features. The chief one consists of making an exhaust pipe of the mast, which is hollow, thus doing away with the necessity of a smokestack. The escape valve of the motor has been led into the foremast, and the vapor will thus discharge itself into the upper air. Outwardly this mast has all the appearance of an old-fashioned wooden spar, whereas it is a tube of light but finely wrought steel, sheathed with yellow pine. The boat is sparred for a big sail plan, and, judging from the stepping of the main mast, she is to be thoroughly modern, insomuch that the greater part of her wings will be in the mainsail. BOY CROESUS Bertram Cutler, Who Has Taken Out Stock in Steel Trust in Rockefeller's Name. THE NEW YORK TIMES According to the steel trust's list of stockholders Bertram Cutler is the owner of $12,000,000 worth of steel stock. Bertram, however, is the office stenographer of John D. Rockefeller, which partly explains the wonder. It is an open secret that Mr. Rockefeller knows a great deal more about the stock than does his stenographer. PENNANT WINNERS. Pittsburg Team Almost Certain to Capture Much Coveted Flag This Season. BROOKLYN The Pittsburg team is almost certain to land the pennant of the National League this season. Above is a snapshot of Capt. Clarke, who plays left field. Lady Yorke's Vision. Apropos of some of the legends and superstitions that have been quoted in connection with King Edward's postponed coronation, the Marquise de Fontenoy tells this story relating to the late Sir Joseph Yorke: "Lady Yorke was at a concert one afternoon in London when she suddenly saw the figure of her husband before her dripping with water. The illusion was only momentary. But it was so remarkable that she became alarmed and went hurriedly away. Just as she was leaving she met an acquaintance, who remarked to her: 'I have just seen Sir Joseph, but he was in such a hurry that I could not speak to him.' Lady Yorke went home trembling with melancholy forebodings. The next day there came news that the yacht in which Sir Joseph had been sailing on the Solent, with some friends, had been struck by lightning, sunk and all hands drowned. This story is as well authenticated as any tale of the supernatural can be." A Counterblast Against Fireworks There is one form of rejoicing akin to illumination which should be absolutely forbidden, and that is the letting off of fireworks of any kind either in the streets or from houses. Fireworks of any kind are dangerous in careless hands and near buildings. The smallest, such as squibs and crackers, let off in a street may injure eyesight or cause a temporary rush or panic in a crowd. A rocket does not always descend in the form of a stick; it sometimes fails to rise, but whether it comes down as a blazing fire brand or a smouldering lath it may go through a window and set fire to a house, or it may hurt a human being. A rocket-stick, even if quite extinct, falling among the upturned faces of a crow might do serious damage. Mr. Morgan's Way. One of the leading figures in the house of Drexel & Co. in Philadelphia, which represents the interests of J. P. Morgan in that city, is George C. Thomas, who tells a story of the great financier's knowledge of the world in general and of expressmen in particular. Mr. Thomas' only daughter was married last fall, and Mr. Morgan, in speaking to the father of the event, said that he had brought over from Europe a little present for the young lady, which he would send from New York as soon as he had returned. A few days later there came to the office of the Philadelphia banker a medium-sized package, addressed in Mr. Morgan's own handwriting, tied with a common piece of brown twine and wrapped in coarse yellow paper which had broken at the corners. The look of the thing did not speak of any contents out of the ordinary, and, being very busy at the moment of its arrival, Mr. Thomas did not open it for nearly an hour, during which time it rested unnoticed on a corner of his desk. Then he broke the string, dug down through a lot of paper, and brought to light a pearl necklace worth anywhere from $1500 to $2500. Mr. Morgan had merely realized that an article of that value was more safely sent through the express with neither seals nor registering to tell of its worth. New York Times. Saved the Baby. New Providence, Iowa, July 7.—Little Helen Moon, the 3-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Moon of this place, had a narrow escape from death. Her mother noticed she seemed to be very clumsy and complained when she was rocked. Her limbs and face were bloated badly. A doctor was summoned, but she got no better. He said she had Kidney Trouble in the worst form. Two other doctors were called in and they agreed that there was very little, if any, hope. She was bloated all over, her eyes being completely closed and her abdomen bloated until it was purple. They bought six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and she commenced to improve at once. She had used nine boxes before the Dropsy was all gone. The treatment was continued and now she is as well as ever. Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved the little one's life. "A Look and a Half a Look." While in Florida, traveling the country road, I asked a native how far it was to the next town and his reply was, after squinting sharply in the direction of the place: "Wal, I reckin hit's about a look an' a half a look." That meant as far as I could see and half as far again, providing our ranges of vision were the same, which was not nearly the case, as I was unaccustomed to looking across the pine barrens. The origin of the expression puzzled me for a long time, but at last it is settled. After Abraham went out of Egypt the Lord said to him: "Lift up now thine eyes and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward, and eastward and westward. For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever."—New York Press. Supreme Court Sustains the Foot-Ease Trade-Mark. Justice Laughlin, in Supreme Court, Buffalo, has ordered a permanent injunction, with costs, and a full accounting of sales, to issue against Paul B. Hudson, the manufacturer of the foot powder called "Dr. Clark's Foot Powder," and also against a retail dealer of Brooklyn, restraining them from making or selling the Dr. Clark's Foot Powder, which is declared, in the decision of the court, an imitation and infringement of "Foot-Ease," the powder to shake into your shoes. Allen S. Olmsted, of Le Roy N. Y., is the owner of the trade-mark "Foot-Ease." Similar suits will be brought against others who are now infringing on the Foot-Ease trade-mark and common law rights. Where Street Bands Come From. Very few people know how or where German street bands spring from, but they may be interested to know that it is a regular business, carried on by agents who are of the same nationality and who are fairly well established on this side. Most of the men who come over are from the Black Forest and have a little knowledge of brass instruments, and they immediately make for an agent of this description. One of these agents keeps all kinds of brass instruments in his house and could turn out his German bands by the dozen to annoy the poor, suffering rate payers of the district. There may be many more, we know, who may have commenced in the same way before they appeared as full-blown professionals.— Leslie's Weekly. Do Your Feet Ache and Burn?

The first trackless trolley line in America will be in operation at Franklin, N. H., the city council having granted permission to a company to erect poles and wires for the system between the railroad stations. Work upon the new line is to be begun at once. A fine stretch of macadam road will serve to give the trackless trolley an excellent opportunity. In Germany a line of the sort has been operated from the old fortress of Konigstein through the Biela valley, the cars making use of the highway and street pavements without difficulty. The cars were at first operated over a distance of a mile and a half, but an extension of the service by eight or nine miles is planned.

Do not ruin your hair by using dangerous and worthless preparations when you can get this reliable remedy. trolley wire there are two wires, allowing enough for the car to deviate about ten feet, when need be, from its ordinary course. When cars have to pass, the motorman of one merely has to remove his trolleys from the wires for a moment while the other car slips past. The ability to change direction within limits, of course, will be necessary to allow passing other vehicles on the road. The basic idea of such a line is not a new one. As far back as 1882, Siemens & Halske ran a carriage through the streets of Berlin by means of a suspended wire. The idea was not further developed at the time, however, and nothing practical was done in this direction until comparatively recently.—South Boston News. He Has it Cold.
