Wisconsin Weekly Advocate

Historical Society WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE Ungrateful Republicans. It was Gen. Grant, in his overzealous display of loyalty to friendship, who curtly replied to his critics that he regarded ingratitude as being the blackest crime one could commit. The action of the recent Republican state convention in failing to give its unqualified support to Senator Spooner is to be regretted by every true American, regardless of party politics, and stamps the Republican party guilty of what the great commander termed a base crime—ingratitude. It is needless for us to waste time in mentioning the merits or demerits of either of the contending factions that met in such inharmonious conflict from the ken of our humble point of view. Suffice it to say that they met and the results of such meeting will long be remembered in the history of Wisconsin politics. The effluvium of that mothering has rent and torn asunder, limb by limb, what constituted once the most perfect political organization, and lef it an embittered mass of chaos. The Negro race, however, has both friends [Image of a man with dark hair, wearing a dark suit and a large bow tie. The background is plain white. There is no text or additional details in the image.]] JOHN C. SPOONER. and enemies upon the ticket nominated as a result of its deliberation the same as Americans of other nationalities have, and we cannot conserve the best interests of our cause by antagonizing the ticket as it stands. So far as we are concerned, we are Republican in politics, and if not driven out, would like to remain within that fold. But we are constrained to confess that the recent high-handed and outrageous treatment accorded Senator Spooner by his party in convention assembled is more than we can suffer to pass by without notice. In taking cognizance of the situation as it now stands we wish to go on record that we will be found from this on fighting valiantly, in season and out, for the unconditional return of John C. Spooner to the United States Senate. That he should be humiliated by the element that controlled the recent convention and brought into the muddle of local affairs by one or two men, who dominated that body, that they might vent their personal spleen against him, is a disgraceful reflection upon the Republicanism of the state. And that, too, in the face of such brilliant achievements of state-craft in the Congress just closed, in which the display of his genius and ability challenged the admiration of even his strongest opponents and won for him laurels from which no "pot house" politics nor set of "pot house" politicians can rob him. This is ingratitude. Only a few days ago the President of the United States gave utterance to what virtually amounted to a personal request to the Republicans of Wisconsin that they return this valuable Solon to his seat in Congress; most states would have complied gladly to the dictum of the chief executive to say nothing of the pride they would take in being so ably represented in that body by such an illustrious statesman. But such seems not to have been the case in this commonwealth and the personal ambition of one man who covets the toga now worn by Mr. Spooner has been allowed to thwart the Republican party of all use of common sense and decency even to ignoring the personal request of the President. If there is one virtue more than another with which the Negro race is blessed in possessing, it is that of gratitude. It has been ever grateful to the memory of the almost sainted Lincoln for severing the shackles that held them in bondage; it has ever been grateful for the efforts of the abolitionist for working up public sentiment against the institution of human slavery; it reveres the memory of John Brown for the noble stand he took in behalf of unfortunate humanity; it has ever been grateful to the memory of Charles Sumner, the great Commoner, whose efforts in its behalf in the days of the reconstruction signally advanced the race fully fifty years; it has ever been grateful to the Republican party for the amendments it enacted to the national constitution and other measures for its relief and benefit; it has and ever will be grateful to its host of friends who have reached out into the darkness to guide it into the light of a better civilization by giving it educational and moral encouragement. It is and ever will be grateful to John C. Spooner for his unflinching and unequivocal championship of its cause whenever defense has been needed. For this reason it behooves every voter and friend of the race to support unconditionally every movement that has for its object the return of Senator Spooner to his seat, and if necessary to do this, we do not hesitate to advise the adoption of extraordinary measures. A True Friend to the Negro Race. Samuel Theodore Johnson, public examiner and superintendent of banks, state of Minnesota, was born in Indiana in 1858 where he lived until 1885. His father, Dr. Lawrence A. Johnson, being the first native of Indiana to receive the degree of doctor of medicine. His ancestry descending on his father's side from the early English colonists, settling in New Jersey and being prominent in the colonial wars, his maternal ancestry leading from Plymouth Rock and of Danish descent, both families entering Indiana in the very early days of the nineteenth century, settling where the city of Indianapolis now stands, identified them with the growth and development, both material and political, of that great state. His father and relatives, becoming original members at the organization of the Republican party, having been known for many years as, what was termed, leading Abolitionists, placed Dr. Johnson in a conspicuous position during the stormy days before and during the war. He was an ardent champion of the Negro race and, being a man of considerable means and a recognized leader of men, he was able to render great assistance to Gov. Morton in saving Indiana for the union, and if it had not been for the efforts put forth by Dr. Johnson and a comparatively few sturdy men of his type, Indiana would have been one of the seceding states. It was in this atmosphere that the subject of our sketch was born and reared, receiving his education in the public schools and academies of his native state and becoming interested in politics, long before he had attained his majority. He had become, prior to leaving Indiana, quite a prominent figure in Indianapolis politics. He was married in 1880 and, with his wife moved to the city of Indianapolis in 1885. During his residence in Minnesota he has had to do with many movements of philanthropic nature and a great deal to do with all movements for the improvement and elevation of civic government, and an ardent and effective worker in the Republican party, never asking for any recognition for himself, but always found supporting the men of strength, honesty of purpose and breadth of character. His appointment to his present position, which is the most responsible and far-reaching of any ministerial department of the state government, was brought about by the unanimous request of the business interests of his own city and state, as a partial recognition of ability and services that had been rendered by him in behalf of the public. He being the son of such a father, it need scarcely be said that during all of his career the Negro race has always had a warm place in his heart and received much thought and consideration, and in speaking to the editor of this paper on the subject, Mr. Johnson said that the strides made by the Negro toward an equality with the white men on the basis of good citizenship, thirst for education, and business ability, was to his mind the most marvelous psychological phenomena of the age, and while the Republican party had done great things for the Negro race, that the party had yet many things to do, that it could be well proud of the results already attained and that, while the Negro must not expect to be a recipient of special favors, he has a right to expect that he will be recognized in true proportion to his worth and that all encouragement and help shall be given him in his struggle for advancement, and that, in his opinion, the destiny of the Negro and the Republican party was absolutely inseparable. Rheumatism Rings. Sufferers from rheumatism who believe they will be cured of their aches through wearing a certain kind of metal ring would be surprised perhaps to hear that they are keeping alive an old superstition that owed its origin to one of the ceremonies performed on Good Friday. The ceremony was called the Blessing of the Cramp Rings, and was carried out by the King himself, who went into his private chapei, accompanied only by his grand almoner, crawled on his knees to the crucifix, and there blessed a silver bowl full of gold and silver rings. These rings were afterward distributed to people who were afflicted by rheumatism and epilepsy. The idea is supposed to have originated in a certain ring given by a pilgrim to Edward the Confessor, which was kept in Westminster Abbey and used as a cure for such ills.-London Chronicle. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, JULY 24, 1902. 9 ELMER E. DEARTH. Elmer H. Dearth, State Insurance Commissioner. and the state is Elmer H. Dearth, the state insurance commissioner. Mr. Dearth has always led an active business life since he came to Minnesota in 1883. He was born on the 6th of June, 1859, at Sangerville, Maine, where he received a high school and academic education, graduating in 1879. After teaching school two years Mr. Dearth entered the office of the Bangor Daily Whig and Courier, and for several years devoted himself to newspaper work, an occupation for which he proved himself especially fitted. Like thousands of other young enterprising men in the East, Mr. Dearth sought the greater opportunities which the West offers for the rising generation. After a brief stay in St. Paul, when he first came to the state, he went to Henderson, Sibley county, and became manager and editor of the Henderson Independent. After nearly two years' residence at Henderson he purchased the Le Sueur News and removed to that place. In both of these newspaper ventures he proved himself highly proficient in the work. He was an ardent Republican and espoused the cause of his party so ably and earnestly as to attract the attention of the prominent politicians of the state. In 1889 Gov. Merriam appointed him deputy insurance commissioner of the state. His official duties brought him to St. Paul, where he has ever since resided. He retained his paper for a year after he entered official life, but sold it in 1890. After serving as deputy insurance commissioner for three years he received a flattering offer from the Equitable Life Assurance Society of New York and resigned to accept it; but he had made so notable a record as deputy commissioner —his executive ability being especially marked—that it had attracted public attention, and when Gov. Clough took his office in 1895, mutual friends advised him to select Mr. Dearth as the head of the important office where he had previously served as deputy. The position came to him on his merits, as a recognition of his ability, and he accordingly accepted it. His administration of the affairs of the office attracted attention throughout the United States, and the pace he set in the discharge of his public duties led many other insurance commissioners to adopt his plans. It was in recognition of his eminent fitness for the work that he was, during his term of office, elected president of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. As a Democrat had succeeded Gov. Clough as governor, when Mr. Dearth's term as insurance commissioner expired he was too much of a party man to be retained by the opposition, and he accordingly engaged in general insurance work, having the general agency for a prominent company, his territory embracing several states, including Minnesota. Upon the Republicans returning to power by the election of Gov. Van Sant, it almost went without saying that so competent an official should be recalled, and there was consequently no surprise when Mr. Dearth was again appointed insurance commissioner in 1901, which position he still occupies. Mr. Dearth has not only thoroughly mastered the subject of insurance, as applied to all kinds of insurance, but he is especially keen in determining the reliability or unreliability of a company. Many companies have been refused admission to the state because they were not sound in capital or methods, and many others have been driven out of the state owing to having become untrustworthy. It is a remarkable fact that Mr. Dearth has never made a mistake when he has debarred a company from the state. The public has become accustomed to relying upon Mr. Dearth's scrutiny of insurance companies, and when they pass his searchlight the public accepts them as safe to do business with. He has introduced many forms and methods in the discharge of his official duties, which the older states have been glad to adopt, and it has become so well understood by wildcat insurance companies that they cannot successfully pass Mr. Dearth's investigation, that they now give Minnesota a wide berth. During his present term as commissioner he has, in addition to his regular onerous duties, prepared and published a most important work which covers a complete annotated compilation of the Minnesota insurance laws, with an index and tables of statutes amended, repealed or superseded, and the full text of the court opinions, or decisions, construing insurance laws; also a digest of all insurance cases, both state and federal, including those carried to the United States supreme court, from the earliest published reports to August 1, 1901, with a table of cases digested. This work is a most complete treatise on insurance, as relating to the business in Minnesota, and its preparation involved a vast and painstaking research of the statutes and court records. To the insurance interests, not only of Minnesota but of the entire country, it is of inestimable value, and must be acknowledged as one of the most comprehensive works of its kind ever published in this or any other state of the Union, and will be a lasting monument to his indomitable energy and marked ability. Socially, Mr. Dearth is a most estimable gentleman and both prominent and popular in public affairs. He is a Mason, an Elk and a Knight of Pythias, and prominent and active in all of these organizations, as well as in the St. Paul Commercial Club, of which organization he is a charter member, and has served upon its board of directors and several important committees. He was married on June 26, 1889, to Nellie G., daughter of Hon. M. Doran of St. Paul, the union having been blessed with four beautiful children, three of whom are living—Elizabeth, Josephine and Michael D. Julius H. Block is a stalwart type of the true German-American. His parents emigrated from Germany early in the 50s, coming to America and locating in Texas, where they remained several years, later removing to Galion, O., where Julius was born, March 30, 1860. In 1870 they came to Minnesota and located on a farm in LeSueur county, afterwards removing across the Minnesota river to Nicollet county. Julius spent the early years of his life on his father's farm and attended school, obtaining a common school education, both English and German. He early became accustomed to hard work and was possessed of a physical strength far beyond his years. It is told of him that while a mere boy he took a contract for grubbing a piece of timber land in order to provide himself with means to attend school during the winter, and he labored unflaggingly and perseveringly through the hot summer days until the job was finished. This same rugged spirit of determination and energy has marked his subsequent career and is one of his most prominent characteristics. At the age of 19 Mr. Block went to St. Peter, the county seat of Nicollet county, where he was engaged as supervisor and storekeeper at the State Hospital. He gradually drifted into politics and was elected sheriff of the county, which office he held for several successive terms, until his election as state treasurer in 1900. He was also engaged in the fire insurance business, and was at the head of one of the largest agencies in Southern Minnesota. His nomination for state treasurer was by acclamation, and he was elected by a majority of over 50,000, a splendid testimonial to the esteem in which he is held throughout the state, as well as to his wide acquaintance. His renomination in 1902 was also by acclamation, and was a hearty endorsement by the people of his administration of the affairs of that important branch of the state's affairs. Mr. Block was married at St. Peter February 12, 1885, to Miss Sarah West. Two sons have blessed the union. Robert, born March 16, 1886, and Budd, born in April, 1888. Mr. Block's career is a striking example of the possibilities of "the boy from the country." By his own efforts he has won a high and honored position, one of the highest in the gift of the people of the state. The same sterling qualities that he displayed in his youth and in his business life enhance his usefulness in a public capacity. Julius H. Block.

Milwaukee housewives have trouble enough in getting servant girls and in keeping them, but the carrying away of table supplies is not often one of the troubles they have to contend with. That is because there is so little abject poverty in Milwaukee. What the New York city mistress encounters is indicated in the following which recently appeared in a paper published in that city.

No one who has had business to transact with the state capitol for the past eight or nine years but has, at one time or other, been brought in contact with Hon. Samuel G. Iverson. His name and personality are indelibly associated with the official life of the state, especially in connection with the offices of the state treasurer and the state auditor. He is in every sense an engaging gentleman, kind, obliging, and thoroughly informed in all the details of the conduct of governmental affairs. In his present position, as deputy of the genial and popular Bob Dunn, he has won for himself a place second only to that of his principal in the good will and respect of all who are brought into contact with him officially. So, too, in his official connection with the office of state treasurer, he made himself indispensable to hundreds of people who, without his good offices, might have to endure a good deal more trouble and expend a good deal more of their time in transacting their business with the several departments of the state government. It is, however, outside of his official relationship that Sam Iverson is best known and most highly appreciated. [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. There are but few Republicans in any section of the state who are not his ardent friends and admirers. Not only at and in the vicinity of his home at Rushford, but in points hundreds of miles separated from Fillmore county, can Mr. Iverson number his friends by the hundreds. His qualities as a man and a public official, his frank, amiable and agreeable manner, his intimate acquaintanceship with the needs, wishes and interests of so many of the people of the state, have all combined in securing for Mr. Iverson his present high standing in official life and his leading position in the Republican party of the state. Mr. Iverson is a recent benedict, having been married to Mrs. Kittie B. Betel, April 24, 1900, at Rushford, Minn. In conversation with the editor of the Wisconsin Advocate Mr. Samuel G. Iverson spoke in the highest terms of the paper and also of the colored race as a people, and he said we have a colored man here in the ex. department who is bright and intelligent. This place is a stepping stone for him to come higher. Mr. Iverson is a true friend to the Negro race, he has been nominated to the place mentioned in the attached article. WESTERN WHEAT HARVESTERS. Wages Paid to Them and What is Required of Them. Wheat growers pay the laborers from $1.50 to $3.50 a day. Some, more expert than others, earn $4 a day. The cost of harvesting an acre of wheat is divided as follows: Twine, 25 cents; plowing and harrowing, $1; drilling, 40 cents; seed, 50 cents; cutting, $1.25; hauling, $1.50; threshing, $1.75; total, $6.65. If sold at 60 cents a bushel, the farmer doubles his money. Machinery saves much to the farmer, but the day laborer yields him even a greater profit. A binder will cut 15 acres a day. The twine costs 25 cents an acre, the binder driver is paid $1.50, and the hire of the team is $2.50. In some sections the header is used instead of a binder, thus eliminating the cost of twine. The total expense in cutting 1000 acres is $600, of which $410 goes for horse hire and twine. However, the farmer pays larger wages to those who do the harder work of the harvest field. The binder driver sits under a sunshade, riding upon his machine. His work is frequently given to young women when there is a scarcity of men in the field. Those who shock the bundles of grain, tramping through the wiry stubble all day long, are paid $2.50 a day. Stackers and haulers earn a similar sum.—Review of Reviews. Among the peasants of Southern Italy, Sicily and Sardinia a curious malady has been noticed by physicians, which is caused by eating beans. One of the most remarkable effects of the malady is a species of intoxication resembling that produced by alcoholic drink. In some cases persons predisposed to the malady are seized with the symptoms of intoxication if they pass a field where the bean plant is in flower, the odor alone sufficing to affect them. VOHE GOT HER GEMS BACK. Recovers $300,000 Worth of Dia- monds from Pawnshops. NEGOTIATIONS SECRET. Strong’s Family Believed e Have Ad- vanced Money Necessary to Re- deem the Articles. New York, July 23.—Wherever Put- nam Bradlee Strong may be, he is now safe from arrest on the charge of grand larceny made against him by May Yohe, as the Strong family settled that wom- an’s claims against him. A sum of money, said to be between $15,000 and $20,000, was paid to Miss Yoke. In pursuance of her agreement, Miss Yohe and her lawyer went at once to police headquarters, where they told Capi. Titus of the detective bureau that they no longer wanted Strong arrested. Friends of Strong believe that he has gone buck to Japan. Miss Yohe today sent a cablegram to the man with whom she pawned a good many of her jewels in Yokohama last year, saying that she would be in that city. just as soon as the next steamer would take her there. Emanuel Friend, the woman's lawyer, emphatically stat- ed that there was no arrangement for «Strong and Miss Yohe to meet again at the other side of the world. Negotiations Were Secret. The negotiations with the Stroug fam- ily were carried on with secrecy, At 4:30 o'clock Mr. Friend, who had been in communication with Mr. Hedges earlier in the day, drove to the latter's office with Miss Yohe. Mr. Hedges there said that he was authorized by the Strong family to make some sort of a settlement, in return for which Miss Yohe must agree to drop all charges against Strong. Miss Yohe was asked to state carefully the value of all the property illegally taken from her by Strong. At first the woman said that she thought the jewelry Strong had taken from the safe apse vault was worth $300,000. Mr. Hedges declined to figure on that basis, Then Miss Yohe said that it was worth $150,000 anyway. She afterward admitted that included in this was jewelry pawned by Strong for her at Yokohama and Genoa. Gems are Recovered. The exact terms on which a settlement was reached were not learned. It is be- lieved that the Strong family paid enough to Miss Yohe to enable her to get her jewelry out of Goldstone’s, to redeem that pawned at Yokohama and Genoa, and gave a large cash consideration for the jewelry that Miss Yohe says was taken from the box, but of which no trace has been found in any of the pawn- shops. Whatever the terms of settlement were, they were evidently very satisfac- tory to Miss Yohe. Her face was wreathed in smiles. Detective Murphy went with Miss Yohe and her lawyer to Goldstone’s shop. Miss Yohe strode into the store, and. tossing a bundle of pawn tickets down on the counter, said: “J want the diamonds these cail for.” Ordered Scotch Highballs. It took four clerks almost half an hour to get the stuff together. Miss Yohe paid the pawnbroker an amoun tsaid to be $7500. About $400 is said to have been interest. Immediately on leaving the pawnbroker’s Miss Yohe and her com- panions drove to the Sturtevant house, where they went into the eafe and or- dered Scotch highballs. On Monday in the same cafe they were content with beer. Miss Yohe called a hallboy, got a cable blank, and then dictated the fol- lowing message: eZ Wood, Yokohama. Look out for dia- monds. I gall on next steamer. MAY YOHE. Miss Yohe paid $40 at the hotel tele- graph office to send the dispatch. She took the money from a roll six inches in diameter. Then she and the detective drove to the Grand Central depot, where she took a train back to Hastings. She denied herself to inquirers at her home, and the butler told everybody who called her up on the telephone that she had gone to bed.

Verdict of the Coroner’s Jury Relative to the Death of Albert Cc. Letimer. New York, July 23.—Harry J. Parker, an insurance adjuster, who also worked as a private detective, was the first witness today in the coroner's investiga- tion of the shooting of Albert C. Lati- mer in his home in Brooklyn on the morn- ing of July 2. Parker testified that on May 1 this year Latimer yisitea him and employed him. “Why did Albert C. Latimer visit you?’ asked District Attorney Clarke. “He told me he wanted to get evi- dence against his wife for unfaithful- ness with a man whose name was given by Mr. Latimer as Tuthill,” Parker re- plied. “On May 2 of this year I went with Mr. Latimer to Tuthill’s residence in Vanderbilt avenue and there I was told by Mr. Latimer that it was Tuthill’s house and I was to keep a watch on it and report Tuthill’s movements to him. On May 4 I saw Tuthill go to Lati- mer’s house at about 5:30 or 6 o'clock. The latter was accustomed to reach home as late as 6:30 or 7 o'clock. Park- er testified that on one occasion Tuthill went to see Mrs. Latimer at her home and remained there until the middle of the afternoon. Before Parker left the _ stand, Discrict Attorney Clarke made the following statement: “I have had no conyersation with this witness, but I understand that he can tes- tify that the deceased told him that in case of his death he would know who killed him, mentioning the names of two persons. Now, this is hearsay and not admissible under the laws of evidence. It seems to me that if this declaration is to be introduced now, it would be illegal, censurable and cruel; as far as I am conoerned I do not purpose asking this man to make that declaration.” Maggie Fitzgerald, a servant employed in a house near Latimer’s, said that after the shooting she saw a man she thought was Latimer go to a window and call for help. This witness also testified that about the time the police arrived she saw a man on the roof of the Latimer house. The case was then given to the jury, which brought in a verdict declaring that Latimer was killed by a pistol shot wound. No accusation against anyone was made by the jury. HOD TAYLOR WILL STAY. Views Attributed to Secretary of the Treasury are Officially Re- pudiated. Washington, D. C., July 23.—The fol- lowing statement was made public at the office of the secretary of the treasury yesterday: Numerous inquiries have been received at the treasury department relative to the truth or falsity of the alleged assertion of Secretary Shaw that he was In favor of a five-year limit for service in the treasury Snpertment. ‘0 avoid any further misconception of the facts In the case, It may be announced on absolute authority that no such remark or expression was ever made by Secretary aw. On the contrars, It may be said with equal authority that Secretary Shaw is heartily in accord with civil service in every re- spect. As an illustration of his attitude on matters of personnel may be cited his singing yesterday of a set of regulations placing laborers and other unskilled post- tions under the control of the civil service commission, removing thereby the last bit of patronage at the disposal of the secre- tary of the treasury. When the views attributed to Secretary Shew were put in circulation several weeks ago it was suspected that an ap- plication of them would include Assistant ecretary H. A. Taylor. It was even said that the Wiscons'n man would be asked to resign. The story has resulted in a good deal of annoyance to treasury officials. Prominent Chicago Clubman Thrown from Carriage by Collision with Electric Car. Chicago, Il., July 23.—Arthur J. Ca- ton, the millionaire clubman, was badly injured last night when an Indiana ave- nue car crashed into a coupe in which he was being driven home. The vehi- cle was partly demolished, and when Mr. Caton was released from the wreck- age he was unconscious. Blood was streaming from painful cuts on the head and face. Mr. Caton was still unconscious when carried to the office of a physician. He was finally revived, and, after his wounds were dressed, was driven to his home, 1910 Prairie avenue. Dr. Gilman, who attended him, an- nounced that Mr. Caton’s injuries con- sisted of a long, deep scalp wound and several other minor cuts and_ bruises. It will be some time, the physician said, before he will entirely recover from the effects of the accident. SLAIN BY LADRONES. SE ee Fate of Several Missing Teachers in the Philippine Islands is Finally Cleared Up. Washington, D. C., July 23.—The war department today received the following eablegram regarding the school teachers who have been missing from Cebu since June 10; “John E. Wells and his cousin, Louis, A.

Meder, once lieutenant of a crack regiment in the Kaiser’s army and by his own account the scion of an aristo- cratic but impoverished family of Han- over, has been arrested and lodged in the city prison. He is accused of ob- taining $700 on a spurious check. Lieut. Wilhelm Valentine of the Prusssian cuirassiers and an agent of his govern- ment while in the United States, also accuses Meder of obtaining more than $1500 from him by false pretensions. When Detective Reynolds arrested him at the German consulate, Meder had just received a letter from a young lady of New Orleans telling him that she had paid $160 for papers to which he had forged her name and saying that if he did not return the money she would no- tify the poliee of San Francisco. od Gunboat Runs Aground.

Deeds Executed by the Deceased in His Lifetime are Recorded in San Francisco. London, July 22.—The chancellor of the British exchequer may gct a goodly sum from the estate of John W. Mac- kay. In legal circles it is considered a nice point as to whether the British gov- ernment is or is not entitled to claim the death duty of 8 per cent. on what Mrs. Mackay may inherit under her husband’s will, since, although not naturalized, she is domiciled in Eng- land. A death duty must be paid on all the vestator's investments in English secur- jties, which are said to reach nearly $10,000,000. But Mr. Mackay’s friends ‘assert that foreseeing a prospect that his estate might be mulcted by the Eng- lish treasury because his wife was domiciled there, he assigned to her four rears ago the greater part of the fortune he intended to bequeath her, including his English investments, and that the ‘balance of his fortune goes to his son. | A Magnificent Mausoleum. New York, July 22.—The Mackay / mausoleum in Greenwood cemetery, in ‘which the body of John W. Mackay will ‘be placed, was completed about two years ago. It was built of granite with marble interior and cost about $300,000. ‘A large granite cross surmounts the building ana at each corner of the roof there is a life-sized figure. The mosaic work of the marble floor and ceiling is elbe and the interior is in the form of a chapel with an altar. Electric lights around the ceiling are lighted automatic- ally by the opening of the bronze doors of the mausoleum. There are twenty- two crypts. The body of Mr. Mackay’s soa, John W. Mackay, Jr., who was killed UF his horse’s fall in France in 1895, was placed in the mausoleum soon after its comple- tion and the body of Mrs. Mackay’s fa- ther rests there. The body of Marcus Daly also is in one of the crypts, pend- ing the erection of a Daly family vault. The body of Mr. Markay will be placed in the crypt directly undes the altar. Deeded to Wife and Son. San Francisco, July 22.—James L, Flood and ie G. W. Melnerney have filed for record deeds signed by the late John W. Mackay for all the real estate which the latter owned in this city at the time of his death. They are drawn in favor of his wife, Marie Louise H. Mackay, and his son, Clarence H. Mackay, who will share alike in all re- spects and in the three parcels of real estate transferred the consideration in the two is love and affection and in the third a nominal sum is named. wo were drawn in New York city on December 21, 1900, before George H. Corey, commissioner of deeds for Cali- fornia. They give to Mrs. Mackay and her only son the Grand Opera House in this city and the valuable property at the southwest corner of Fourth and Market streets. One was drawn in San Fran- cisco before Notary Public Holland Smith on March 20, 1892, during Mac- kay’s last visit here and it disposes of an undivided one-half interest in the Ne- yada block, at Montgomery and “Pine streets. Mackay’s purpose in signing the deeds and entrusting them to Flood, his old- time friend, is thought to be because he wanted to make easier and less expensive to his helrs the administration of his estate. DEATH PENALTY PAID. Two Men Hanged for Unprovoked Mur- der of G. M. Wray in Rail- way Car. Greenyille, Miss., July 22.—Cocke and Lauderdale were hanged at 11:41. The crime for which Ashley Cocke and Tom Lauderdale today paid the death penalty on the gallows was com- mitted in a Yazoo & Mississippi Valley railroad train about 3 o'clock on the morning of December 30, 1901, near Eiizabeth. Ashley Cocke, Tom Lauder- dale, Will Blackburn and G. M. Phipps boarded the northbound passenger train. G. M. Wray, an engineer, was a passen- ger-on the car entered by Cocke and his party. Cocke and his companions were more or less under the influence of liq- uor. Phipps fell against Wray, who was asleep on a seat in the coach. Wray asked Phipps what he meant and the reply eame from Cocke that it meant that he (Wray) must leave the coach. As Wray started to walk out Cocke, Landerdaie asd Blackburn began shoot- ing at him and he fell dead in the aisle of the car. Sekt aie KING TO VISIT CZAR.

Craft, who was wanted for the murder of a fellow shea herder at Lewistown, has been found in the north- ae ee of Fergus county.

Craft was well known in sheep circles, having resided in Montana twelve years. Soe eee ees GARMENT WORKERS’ STRIKE. Total Number Now Involved is About Forty Thousand. New York, July 22—The press com- mittee of the striking garment workers said today that all tho meu employed in their branch of the trade are now on a strike. It was also stated that about eighteen engieret had aes to the demands of the strikers. Tho total num- ber of men on strike is about 40,600, GIVE CUBA A CHANCE. Islanders Said to be Irritated by the Con- tinued Talk About Annexation to United States. Havana, July 23.—The annexation movement has caused some feeling among those Cubans who want the is- land to have a fair chance in trying to solve the problem of self-government. The anti-annexationists, say the cham- pious of annexation, consist largely of meu who, when the war was on, spent the time at watering places in the Unit- ed States or Mexico, and who, when the war was over, flocked back to Cuba, ex- pecting to get the lion’s share of the spoils to which those who had fought for independence were entitled. Tne reports of possible disturbances in Cuba do not seem to have any substan- tial foundation. The Cubans realize that the eyes of the world are upon them, as well as the United States and their pride is at stake. Some of the annexationists say that the United States would only want a pretext to tell the Cubans they had a trial and had been found wanting. A few of these enthusiasts actually im- agine that if somebody was to gather a party of a few hundred men together, make a dash for the woods, rob a few pastures and burn a few plantations, as soon-as the news was flashed to Wash- ington troops would at once be ordered to Cuba and the intervention would be at hand again. It is such talk as this that has made the anti-annexationists so bit- ter against the annexationists. It must be said, however, that there are in the ranks of the annexationists men of high character who are perfectly con- scientious in their advocacy of annexa- tion and have no personal motives in wishing to bring it about. Cuban planters have an: organization known as Circulo de Haciendos, a socie- ty which has been fostering the move- ment for annexation, and a meeting has been called for July 30, where it is pur- posed that entirely new officers shall be elected and that only annexationists shall figure in the new personnel. Then, it is said, a regular campaign for an- nexation will be started. MAJ. GLENN IS GUILTY. Sentenced to Fine and Suspension from Duty for Administering Water Cure Treatment. Washington, D. C., July 23.—Oune month’s suspension from duty aud a fine of $50 is the sentence imposed upon Maj. Edwin F, Glenn of the Fifth In- fantry by a court-martial, which found him guilty of having administered the “water cure” to native Filipinos, or hav- ing pone’ it to be done. The action of the court was made known today when Secretary Root forwarded to President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay the proceedings and findings ir the case, together with those in the trials of Lieut. Julien E. Gaujot, Tenth Cavalry, and Lieut. Norman E. Cook of the FA scouts. Lieut, Cook was ac- quitted on a charge of giving orders to kill three Filipino prisoners. The» tes- timony’ showed that he had given orders to shoot the eet if they attempted to escape. ‘he Filipino scouts to whom this order was given thought it meant to shoot the prisoners. In forwarding the cases to the Presi- dent the secretary. recommended that the sentences and findings be approved, but that no other action shall be taken. It is not believed that the President, who is reviewing authority in these cases, will make any comnients such as were delivered by him in the case of Gen. Smith. It is shown in the evi- dence and reports that Maj. Glenn has performed excellent service, and has done much to pacify the country where he has been in command. THE CASE OF GEN. SMITH. Fitzhugh Lee Says Punishment of Army Officer is Not in Accord with Military Usage. Cincinnati, O., July 23.—Gen. Fitz- hugh Lee, U. 8. A., retired, in discussing the treatment of Gen. Jacob Smith by the President, said: “It was not strictly in accord with military usage. ‘The President of the United States is not empowered to add to any sentence promuigated by a mili- tary court. However, the President may rightfully claim, should Gen. Smith see fit to refer the matter to any court, that he, as President, has the right to retire any army officer he may desire who has reached the age of 62 years. “It is not unlikely that remarks Gen. Smith let fall without sufficient thought figure too prominently in this matter. I recall an instance in my own career in the Civil war, when I, on finding that persons were setting fire wantonly to a town that I had captured, on the spur of the moment ordered that any person caught in such acts be thrown into the bonfires they had themselves created. “On sober second thought I, of course, avoided such savage modes of punish- ment, but certainly I laid myself open to charges of extreme cruelty by my first expression. I recall that there were for- mal orders promulgated during the Civil War that had as savage and bloodthirsty flavor as the orders alleged to have been given by Gen. Smith.” WILL NOT SUE FOR DIVORCE. Prof. O'Malley Declines to Leave His Wife Free to Marry Again. Philadelphia, Pa., July | 23.— Prof. Austin O'Malley, the South Bend au- thor, lecturer and instructor, will not sue for divorce. There was much specu- lation as to how Prof. O'Malley would set about to square accounts with the beautiful Aline Ellis O'Malley for her conduct with William J. Hearin of New York and for the untold misery it brought to everyone concerned. It is now virtually assured that he will even up matters by refusing to break the marital chains which bind her to him. Hearin after his release from prison declared that he intended to “stick to Mrs. O'Malley,” and Mrs. O'Malley has given no indication that she intends to shun her admirer. The fact cannot be denied that she would welcome a legal release from Prof. O'Malley and that she would procure such a separation if it were possible to do so. It is said that she will sue for divorce if her hus- band does not. SMUGGLING PRIEST CAUGHT. Arrested with His Niece, Who, He Claims, is Innocent. Washington, D. C. July 23.—According to an official report reaching the treasury department a Roman Catholic priest and his niece from Massachusetts, whose names are not announced, were arrested for smuggling across the Canadian bor- der and had confessed. In the confes- sion the priest pleaded that his niece may be discharged, and declared that she acted only as his agent and was not aware that she was committing a crime. He said that since 1896 he has been making annual trips to Montreal, where he would purchase church robes and other articles for church use, which he would pack in his trunk as wearing ap- parel and bring across the boarder with: out declaring or paying duty. M’LAURIN DECLINES. President Had Offered Him a Place on the United States Court of Claims. . Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 22.—Senato: John L. McLaurin of South Carolina aus declined the appointment tq the vacancy of the United States court of claims. The President offered to appoint Senator MeLaurin, but he has written that he cannot accept the place. This letter is couched in the most peels terims and was apparently based on a newspaper article which Se inclosed in his letter, which said that be had sold himself for the prospect of getting such an office as the one that has been offered to him. The President regards this type of accu- sation as contemptible, and would pay no heed to it_himself, and only regret» that Senator McLaurin paid any atten- tion to it. ‘The President was desirous of appoint- ing Senator MeLaurin to some office un- der him, and believes that his senatorial! experience and his career as attorney general of South Carolina would have made him a particularly good judge of the court of claims. ‘Phe President is now uncertain what he will do about Senator McLaurin, but it is known that he is anxious to appoint him to some po- sition. The senator came here a week ago to see the President about the appointment, and after the interview confided to his friends that the President had offered him the place and he had seeped it. The appointment is for life and the posi- tion is regarded as a most desirable one. ‘MISS TAYLOR WILL FIGHT. ae Clerk at Washington Com- mences Suit Against the Secre- tary of War. Washington, D. C., July 22.--Miss Re- becca J. Taylor, the war department clerk who was summarily dismissed by Secretary Root some weeks ago for crit- icising the administration’s Philippine policy, filed suit against the secretary 0° war, petitioning that a writ of mandamus be issued to compel Mr. Root to show cause why she should not be reinstated in her former position, and Justice Hagner of the district supreme court issued a rule to that effect. The suit is the climax of an interesting ope between the administration. and Miss Taylor. She had been a frequent contributor to local newspapers and on several occasions wrote some rather sharp criticisms upon the Philippine war. The secretary of war, with the consent of the President, discharged her. The Sunes! is based upon two princi- ples of the civil service law: First, that no cmploye shall be discharged without being given an oportunity to reply to formal charges, arc, second, that anyone in the government service shall not be removed for polten or religious reasons. She claims that both of these provisions of the law are violated and also that her freedom of speech has been abridged. She is sanguine of the result of the suit and will fight to the last ditch. PUBLIC LEDGER SOLD. _ Philadelphia Paper Pissea from “ Drexel Estate to A. S. Ochs—Con- sideration $2,250,000. Philadelphia, Pa., July 22—The Phil- adelphia Public Ledger was purchased by Adolph S. Ochs from George W. Cinlds Drexl] and the Drexel estate, and possession was at once given Mr. Ochs. The purchase includes all the Public Ledger estate, comprising about half a block of improved property_on Chestnut cy Sixth streets, facing Independence all.

Mr. Ochs’ newspapers are all indepen- dent in politics. FLED IN NIGHT CLOTHES. Earthquake Causes Great Excitement on Island of St. Vincent. Kingstown, Island of St. Vincent, Monday, July 21.—There was another severe earthquake here at 1:10 o'clock this morning. It was of long duration and was accompanied by a repetition_of the phenomena of Thursday Nast.

One way is to put him in a darkened room, to sit in a corner and to repeat over and over again the word you want him to ac- quire. A clever parrot will learn a word or a phrase after some 400 or 500 repetitions, while for some it takes a week or more. You must keep still in the room. No sounds from within or without the house, save your voice mo- notonously repeating the phrase to be ac- quired, must reach the parrot’s ear. Some people teach their birds in a well-lighted room, speaking from a place of conceal- ment in a closet ov behind a door. This method is not so good, because in the light the parrot’s attention is distracted. ge Plans for the Winter. Mr. and Mrs. Brown are hoping to kep their club alive through the winter by the establishment of a club room pro- vided with games, reading matter and gymnastic apparatus. They would be glad to furnish the reading matter and the amusements if some kindly disposed persons or society with means would pro- vide a room and fuel. If these things could be secured a great variety of wholesome winter pleasures and means of instruction could be provided. A lawn social is being planned for the lads a week or two hence. Mr. and Mrs. Brown have been assisted in their orig- inal and praiseworthy work by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Estes, also of Milwaukee.— Evening Wisconsin. —_————_-—_———_ —In the state of Sergipe, Brazil, there are 671 sugar factories. _ THIRTEEN PEGPLE PERISH. Terrific Windstorm Destroys Life and Property at Baltimore. A HURRICANE’S HAVOC. Many Boats Filled with Pleasure Seekers Overturned—Camp Meeting Tent Is Blown Down. Baltimore, Md., July 21.—Thirteen per- sons perished and millions of dollars’ worth of property was destroyed by a hurricane. which swept through Balti- more yesterday afternoon. - The storm broke shortly after noon and came almost without warning. The wind swept all before it. Roofs were sent whirling like so many cards, trees were stripped aud uprooted, buildings were wrecked, fences blown down, and big windows in the business houses smashed. St. Mary’s Star of the Sea Church was demolished, entailing a great loss, while the roof on the Merchants and Miners’ steamboat pier was blown off, permitting the water to leak in aud causing the goods there to be damaged to the extent of $400,000. Big Tent Falls on Worshipers. In North Baltimore, where a camp- os was in progress, a tree blew over the tent, causing it to fall. The worshipers were buried under the can- vas, and one man was killed and many hurt. It was along the water that the greatest loss of life occurred. Being au extremely warm day, the shore resorts were liberally patronized a pleasure seekers. All of the fishing boats aloug Middle and Black river were taken, while Spring Gardens and adjacent Patapsco streams were alive with pleas- ure craft of every description. When the storm came up, almost with- out warning, boats were tossed about and cries for help could be heard coming from every direction. Tugs and steam- boats put out to the rescue, but so thick was the weather and so choppy the seas that theeefforts of the life savers proved futile for a time. The vessels picked up dozeps of survivors from capsized boats. The hurricans exhausted its fury in less than 15 minutes. It was in the resi- dence portion of the city, along the river front, and in the harbor, where the wind spent its violence. The wind blew at the rate of 64 miles an hour, and the rainfall was fifty-six one-hundredths of an inch. The first in- dication of the storm was apparent at 1:25 p. m., and the sun reappeared at 1345. Many Pleasure Seekers Drown. Roy Bateman, Joseph and John Cain were out in a rowboat on the river with ‘three other companions. The boat was capsized, three being drowned and three being reseued by the tugboat Edna V. George. | , The drowning of Mrs. Schuler and her children was the most pathetic incident of the hurricane. Michael Schuler, with his wife aud three children, his brother- in-law, Joseph Cook, and his wife, were sailing in a 30-foot boat. When the storm came Schuler and Cook took in sails. Schuler sent his wife and chil- dren into the little cabin. The hurri- cane overturned the boat. Mrs. Schuler and te children Were trapped in the eadip. Took saypd bimsele and his wife by hanging to the hottoth of the over- ‘urnéd boat, and Schuler saved himself in the samié way, after making fraatic efforts to get at his imprisoned wife and children. A crew from the schooner Edward H. Hunt rescued Schuler and Cook and wife. Gas Reservoir Blows Over. Thomas Carroll, with four other young men, were out in the harbor in a row- boat, which capsized. Carroll was drowned, while his four companions clung to the rudder of the steamship Chatham until rescued by the tug Mary. At Tolchester James B. Post and Theodore C. Parker, both of this city, were drowned. They, with four com- panions, were rowing in the bay when the storm struck. The other oceupants of the little craft clung to it until res- cued. The gas reservoir in South Baltimore, containing 200,600 feet of gas, was blown over, the gas exploding. without injuring snyone, the damage being placed at $15,000. Came Without Warning. Nothing in the way of a storm had been forecasted and the weather bureau was taken completely by surprise. A careful estimate today shows that 200 houses were unroofed during the storm. The public squares and parks are destroyed. Patterson park is a scene of desolation. many handsome trees in Franklin square and Druid Hili ark as well as on the shaded streets, five been uprooted bodily, many falling across thoroughfares, temporarily block- ing them. In the business section of the city numerous plate glass windows were blown in. Telegraph and telephoue serv- ice has been crippled to some extent, and many lines ere ont of use. It vas remarkable that a storm of such viola@e should apparently be limited to such a small area. The center of the disturbance seemed to be right in the city. Out in the suburbs there was a terrifie blow, but the amount of damaxe shows that it did not compare with the velocity in Baltimore. ——$—$$_—__—_ ati a i alae sae,” aida atk ode fin ieee | gies <a Greatest Strike Fund in History of Or- ganized Labor to Be Handled in Indianapolis.

Fenton, a wealthy farmer of Rushville, Mo., was shot on the streets of that yillage by Mark Dunn at il o'clock last night. Dunn, who, it is alleged, had been drinking, was arrested, but, escap- ing from the officer, he secured a shot- gan and shot Fenton, who was pass- ing in a buggy. Fenton died from his wounds at 2:10 o'clock this morning. The shootin ae entirely without provo- eation and Dunn is in pa of being lynehed.

ANOTHER TERRIFICSTORM GREAT DAMAGE DONE TO GROWING CROPS IN NEW YORK. eiegecnapta Flood Losses in the Mississippi Valley Are Estimated at Upwards ef $6,000,000. DB - Jamestown, N. ¥., July 21.—Another terrific storm passed over Chautauqua ‘county yesterday and last night, doing great damage to growing crops, delaying railway traffic and cutting such holes in highways that travel across country is almost impossible. __ George Courtney was drowned at French Creek while trying to ford a swollen stream. A bridge across a culvert in this city broke down while George Singular, a 6-year-old boy was standing on it and he was quickly carried into a sewer through which he was swept at a ter- rific rate for more than 1000 feet. He came out at the lower end in less thau three minutes in a frightfully cut and bruised condition but alive and able to crawl to a ee of safety. Pennyan, N. Y., July 21.—One of "the heaviest rainfalls that has yet occurred has prevailed over the Lake Keuka re- gion during the last thirty-six hours. Three inches of water has fallen, mak- ing the total rainfall for the month sev- en inches. All streams are overflowing their banks and the water in the lake has risen ten inches in the last twenty- four hours. Many cellars are flooded and farmers are having much trouble in harvesting their grain. Reports of rain with floods and result- ant damage to farm products come from Warsaw, Baths, Culba and Dansville, this state. __ Keokuk, Ia., July 21.—Flood losses to ‘date in the Mississippi valley south of Keokuk are estimated at $6,000,000, ‘with the situation continuing to grow worse and every prospect that thi amount will be increased two pr three millions. Everywhere throughout the section the most abundant crops ever known are under water deep enough to float a steamboat, and farmers who ten days ago were wealthy are penniless and homeless. The most of this loss is on the Missouri side of the river, between Keokuk and Hannibal. All this —— was prac- tically covered with corn a fortnight ago estimated to make seventy-five to a hun- dred bushels to the acre. The loss is to- tal. Experience is that if water stays forty-eight hours it kills corn even four inches under the surface, and every stalk wet by waves perhaps from rotting roots. Much of that back from the channel looks to the casual observer as if it would recover when the flood sub- sides, but a month will see it all brown and sear. CONSUL IS ANGRY. — Denied the Privilege of Searching po American Transport in Quest 4 of Deserters. { San Francisco, Cal., July 21.—Paul Josahevitch, who represents the Russian government as consul at San Francisco, declares that Capt. Abraham 8S. Beck- ham, quartermaster of the United States transport Logan, has treated his govern- ment with contempt. He has notified the Russian embassy in Washington of the aiegee slight upon the government of the Czar. When the Logan arrived at Nagasaki, the United States consul noe Capt. Beckham Sat three ae had dese: from A yesian warship au itee they might make an attempt to reach the United States. 2 The troops on i obtained shore leave and after they had embarked and the ship was about to sail the Russian consul at that port is said to have de- manded of Capt. Beckham the privilege of searching the Logan. “No man will be allowed to search this vessel,” Capt. Beckham is said to have replied. The Russian consul in- sisted that he had the right to search the ship for the men and when Capt. Beck- ham refused the consul declared that he would bring the matter to the attention of his government. After being two days out from Nagas- aki three Russian stowaways attired in the uniform of American troops are said to have been found on board. FEAR FOR VALUABLES. Depositors sasuperats “Run” on the Vaults of Chicago Safe Deposit 3 Company. Chicago, Il., July 21.—News of the dis- appearance of nearly $30,000 from the yaults of the Masonic Temple Safety De- posit Company last Saturday had spread to such an extent today that it caused a “run” on the vaults. When the day vaults were opened for business there was a struggling crowd of men and wom- en depositors in waiting who feared for moneys and valuables that they had de- et in the company’s strong boxes. ‘or a time there was almost a panic in the crowd The office force of the de- posit company was unable to cope with the great demand for verification of signatures and in the vaults the turn- keys for several hours were unable to open boxes fast enough to keep down the crowd. ‘The police have secured no clues as yet to the disappearance of the currency belonging to the race track men. The management still scoffs at the idea that the money has been stolen, but the po- lice take the bookmakers’ statement as the truth. They said today that it would have been a very easy matter to secure duplicate keys and to have pilfered the boxes. a ALL FOUR WERE KILLED. Accident Due to Carelessness in Hondling Dynamite.

Mary MacLane's discussion of the problems of life is just as reckless as if she were a professor in the University of Chicago. There are suspicious that Mary MacLane's publishers have taken a hint from the late ingenious P. T. Barnum's invention and exploitation of the Wild Man of Borneo. If there is any truth in the stories from Madrid as to the eccentric behavior of young King Alfonso, the royal "kid" ought to have a spanking and be put to bed. ```markdown ``` Chicago's newspaper reporters are exploiting Mary McLane as though they were paid to advertise her for the purpose of increasing the publishers' sales of her "story." The notion that Murderer Tracy must be insane because he is so clever in outwitting his pursuers may be useful to his lawyer in habeas corpus proceedings after he is caught. There has been rain enough in Iowa to enable the residents of the interior to enjoy yachting, if they confine their pleasure to the navigation of the modern skimming dish. Reports concerning ruined potatoes will be as numerous as wet spots in the agricultural sections.

Pierpont Morgan's denunciation of poker is an indirect drive at young Mr. Schwab, who was said to have taken a flyer at Moute Carlo. Gen.

The German naval annual for 1902 admits that the Americans are the best gunners in the world, but expresses doubt as to the efficiency of their work with the many guns with which our ships are armed. The sailors of Cervera's fleet had no doubt upon this point, at Santiago. THE WOMEN'S SOCIETY 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.

"Mebbe it is, Marse Ton," was the reply; "but ef you keeps on in de way you gwine, dey'll sho' make room fer you!"—Atlanta Constitution. No More "Flat Wheels." Yet another nerve-racking device of modern progress seems doomed. We need no longer ride on pounding trolley cars; the flat wheel, which can, under proper auspices, exert such a pleasing concussion on the trolley rider's nerves as it goes thumping along, is an anachronism, so to speak. At the last meeting of the New York Chemical Society a representative of the German thermite company gave an exhibit of one of the most interesting discoveries, or rather processes, of recent years. It was simply the enormous heating power of powdered aluminum when burned with some substance rich in oxygen. Its scientific value lies in the fact that by this means it is possible to obtain the highest temperatures yet reached by man, exceeding, it seems, the temperature of the electric arc. The practical value of the Goldschmidt process lies in the fact that it affords a portable supply of intense heat in any desired quantity, and that, for example, a boy can carry round a can of it and weld tram rails or broken steamer shafts, or other trifles in place. All that is needful is to jacket the shaft or rail, or whatsoever, with the aluminium mixture, and touch it off with a match. So intense is the heat generated that a huge steel casting will melt to run like water in a few seconds, and the most refractory one turn to liquid. The application of the process to the welding of steel rails is, of course, but an incident, but it is a boon.—Harper's Weekly. Both eyes of the wolf in a menagerie at Lyons have been operated on for cataract. After the operation the animal's eyelids were sewn together, to prevent it opening them for several hours.

SPECIAL RAILROAD RATES NONRESIDENT HOUSEKEEPER A New Field of Work Which Has Been Opened for Women. Woman, ever alert for opportunities in which to branch out for herself, has discovered a new field in which she can work, both with pleasure to herself and profit to her employer. She calls herself, in this new occupation, a nonresident housekeeper, and she is all that the name implies. She finds her engagement book fairly filled in the winter, but it is in the summer that she reaps her harvest. In the winter she has among her patrons women fairly well-to-do, with many social and club interests—women who are really too busy to look after the details of their housekeeping, yet cannot afford to keep a regular housekeeper. On the other hand if such matters are left to the average servant, the household machinery runs with many hitches. To such women comes the nonresident housekeeper. She does all the marketing, if desired, oversees the work of the servants, looks after the details of the laundry, whether it is done in the house or not. In fact, is the housekeeper for such hours of the day as she is needed. If the mistress of the house is giving a dinner or a luncheon, all she does is to give the number of guests, and the nonresident housekeeper attends to all details and sees that the meal is properly served. In the summer time, however, is her harvest. Many women who might feel they could not afford her services in the winter are only too glad to be relieved in the summer, when they go away for a rest. She goes to some resort and engages to serve as many women as she can in this capacity. Then the mistress of the summer home enjoys herself, and the non-resident housekeeper superintends matters. She orders all the needed groceries from the city, engages servants if some leave unexpectedly, and, in fact, keeps the machinery of the summer home running smoothly. Of course, she must be serupulously honest. She must thoroughly understand all the details of housekeeping, and have executive ability of an unusual degree. She must be able to manage servants. But there are plenty of such women who are longing to find something to do which will not take them all the time from their own home. Many women, thrown unexpectedly on their own resources, and having no special business training, are at a loss how to earn their bread and butter. Here is a door they can enter, if they will but open it. Epigrammatically Intemperate. English newspapers comment on the attack recently made on Gen. Funston by United States Senator Carmack of Tennessee, and express astonishment that a man in his position would allow himself to speak of an army officer as "the jayhawker brigadier from the wind-swept plains, the mightiest Samson that ever wielded the jawbone of an ass as a weapon of war." One London writer contrasts this outburst with Disraeli's famous remark when he described Gladstone as "a sophisticated rhetorician intoxicated with the exuberance of his own verbosity."—Exchange. Mountain Laurel. The present season is one of the finest of recent years for that magnificent flower of the fields and forest, the mountain laurel, and there is no geographical locality in which it finds a better development than in Northwestern Massachusetts. In the range of towns from Athol to Greenfield, including much hill country in the more remote regions from railroads its flowering is simply superb. One may travel many miles and find it as far as the eye can reach, in its luxuriant splendor, on every hand.—Boston Herald. Skulls in Commerce Human skulls are a strange article of commerce. Yet such is the demand which has arisen among curiosity dealers in Europe for the skulls of New Guinea native ancestors, which have ornamented the poles of native dwellings in New Guinea, that the Australian government has inhibited the trade. Large prices were offered the blacks for the strange relics, and it was feared that the temptation was becoming so strong that as the supply of genuine ancestors ran low illegal methods of procuring spurious ones would be adopted. The kissar is one of the most ancient of Egyptian instruments. It is found represented in monuments ante-dating the date of Christ by 2000 years. It consists of a circular body, with a large triangular frame above, from the cross-bar of which five strings pass to the bottom of the frame. It is tuned to the pentatonic scale. Polo is probably the oldest of athletic sports. It has been traced to 600 B. C. NORTHERN WISCONSIN RAILROAD LANDS Are increasing in value from year to year. Railroads are the great civilizers, for they give the settler as well as the manufacturer equal opportunity to work in undeveloped fields, thereby rapidly settling the country and bringing forth its undiscovered riches. Northern Wisconsin is rich in iron ore, clay, kaolin, marl, timber and fine farm lands. It has made many a settler independent and added to the wealth of manufacturers who have sought this territory. Opportunities have not passed, as there is still a generous supply of land which can be obtained at low figures and on easy terms. THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL BY Was one of the first roads to penetrate the vast Northern Wisconsin Wilderness which stretches across the State from east to west. It, also, has developed from year to year and today offers the best of transportation facilities, enabling all to ship the products of that section to any market in the world.

TEMPERANCE TALKS. THE RUM TRAFFIC SHOULD BE SUPPRESSED. Dangers that Always Lurk in the Flowing Bowl-How Bright and Influential Men Have Been Dragged Down by the Demon Drink. It is proved by a well nigh universal experience, demonstrated by the observation of millions of instances, that indulgence in alcoholic liquors of any kind constantly tends toward excess. Uncounted thousands of men who delude themselves and their friends with the idea that they drink in moderation are really seriously injuring their health, as well as grievously impairing their fortunes by their drinking habits. In the case of thousands there is a steady, and often rapid, increase in the amount of liquor used, and in an important percentage of cases the use of beer and wine grows into the use of stronger and more violent liquors with a regularity that establishes a rule. Ithasalsobeendemonstratedbyyears of observation that the so-called "moderate" use of intoxicating drinks by any individual sets before his associates an example which his pernicious influence, more or less potent and more or less extended, according to the position and standing of the one setting the example. A man who begins the use of intoxicating liquors, even in mild form, begins to put into his system a poison, which at some easily reached and perilously close point, certainly will, and at the very outset, perhaps, may do him physical damage. He begins a habit the growth of which has been the cause of physical, financial and moral ruin for countless of his fellowmen. He forms a custom that needs only development to blight, not only his own prospects, but the happiness of those who are dependent upon him, or who may become associated with him in any of the relations of life. He gives the force of his example, the indorsement of his character, to a course of conduct that, even should it not prove disastrous in his own case, will, he knows, be disastrous in the case of large numbers of his associates. He gives the encouragement of his patronage and his moral support to the continuation of a traffic, concerning the vicious results of which, in morals, in society and in politics, there is practically no question.—New Voice. The Wine Christ Made. Abraham Coles in his disquisition on the Miracle of Cana, maintains that the keynote to the miracle is creation; that the wine Christ made answered to the wine of nature, "must"—(vinum mustum, defined in the Imperial, Century and Funk and Wagnall's dictionary—"New wine; the unfermented juice as pressed from the grape"—"sweet and unfermented; new wine") the life-giving wine of the cluster, and not to the wine of art, which is less in making than in unmaking, alcohol being unmade sugar which men brand poison. Dr. Coles affirms that the integrity of Christ's character alone warrants the belief that the gallons of wine He made contained no alcohol. The Divine Physician, well knowing the subtle nature of the poison and the danger of an acquired taste for alcohol, led no one into temptation. The new wine of nature and the new wine of art are distinct. In Luther's translation, wherever oinos neos occurs in the New Testament, it is invariably rendered must. In Matt. ix., 17, oinos occurs alone, meaning new wine. New fresh wine (mustum) put into a new bottle, i. e., one that has in it no leaven, no ferment, and is at once hermetically sealed, will keep unfermented indefinitely; both wine and bottle are preserved. Wood (methyl) alcohol swallowed or inhaled will produce blindness. For many cases of blindness and results following the use of wood alcohol and of preparations (essences, etc.), containing it, see Journal of the American Medical Association, No. 30, 1901. Won Manila Fight on Coffee. Dewey's men fought the battle of Manila on coffee alone. Mrs. Carrie Herspool, who teaches a Sunday school class in the First Presbyterian Church at Canton, Ohio, was told by some boys in her class that Dewey's tars were served liquor during the battle. She wrote to the admiral and received the following reply: "Dear Madam: Acknowledging the receipt of your letter of the 22d inst., I am very glad to have the opportunity of correcting the impression which you say prevails among your Sunday school scholars that the men of my fleet were given liquor every twenty minutes during the battle of Manila Bay. "As a matter of fact, every participant from myself down fought the battle of Manila Bay on coffee alone. "The United States forbid taking liquor aboard ship except for medicinal uses and we had no liquor that we could have given the men, even had it been desired to do so. Very truly yours, "GEORGE DEWEY." The bartenders of Chicago have formed a union, and announce that they will proceed to enforce the midnight closing ordinance, a problem that has engaged the attention of the civic reform societies since the ordinance was passd.

Suggested Weeding Out of Undesirable Monuments and Buildings. There is much being done in America to develop a taste for the fine arts, but there is one thing which I venture to suggest, although I may receive the condemnation of the more conservative men by so doing; and that is, that the new art leagues forming in our cities shall have power, not only to pass judgment upon such monumental works or mural paintings as are presented to them, but that they shall also be invested with the right to pull down and destroy such public monuments, buildings, paintings, or statues as disfigure our public parks and places, and tend to undermine the good taste of our people. There are statues in our cities that ought to be melted and the metal laid aside until some young man shall come along with the genius to work out some fine thought in an artistic way. There are some men in this country, thank heaven, working for the good of American art. If it be true that the fruit-bearing ages, with their inspiration, have passed away from the old world, it is equally true that our civilization stands on the threshold of her greatness and looks out upon a garden filled with blossoms. Now is the time, the romantic period of our existence as a nation, when, if we follow historical succession, we ought to do our most forceful work in art. There is something about the prehidian statues that is titanic. The men who made them were wrestling with the forces of nature and striving to uplift humanity by presenting to it nobler ideals. Such a man in our time was Richardson. Such a man in our beginnings was William Hunt, a genius whom we have never yet given his meed of appreciation, but who will some day be mentioned among the fore-runners of our national art. What shall this art for America be? What shall it make us? It must not be less lovely than the art of Greece, but more so, for we shall have breathed into it the spirit of self-forgetting love. This new art will owe much to the arts that have gone before, and acknowledge it frankly and gratefully. It shall be an art in which buffoonery plays no part. Harlequin will find no place upon its stage. How shall we know this art for the future? First of all, by its uplifting power, as we know and believe in nature, and love to keep in tune with her. What shall be the chief characteristics of this new art, to distinguish it from all others? Character, in the Christian sense. Our conception of nature must tally with the wider knowledge we have gleaned of the universe and the men who inherit it. If we do not see in nature more than the Greeks found there, it is surely our fault. The doors of the heart and soul are closed to the revelations of the hour. * * * Never will one become a great artist by shutting himself up within the four walls of a studio and closing out the letters that go to make up the alphabet of beautiful art. Cloud forms and moonlight must not be measured with a compass. An Undesirable Union. The professor of botany in a famous German university prides himself on the ease with which he handles the English language. This same professor is sufficiently broad-minded to admit women to his laboratories on equal terms with men. Recently one of his students, an American woman, found herself at the same social gathering with the learned professor, who immediately opened a conversation with her in English. By way of making talk she asked, "Is Mrs. Professor also a botanist?" "Ach, mein Gott forbid!" was the exclamation, accompanied with feeling gestures. "I do not tink—I know not just how you would say it in English—but I do not tink I would like a he-botanist to marry a she-botanist."—New York Evening Sun. Don'ts for Summer Boarders. Don't ask for ice water. The well water is as cold as any self-respecting stomach will ask for. Don't expect half a pint of cream on twenty-nine strawberries. Don't ask for a glass of milk at every meal. It is not good for you. One homespun cow equals eight quarts of milk, equals one quart of cream, and three meals a day for eight people! And where does the baby come in? Don't Unloading Sale ask for ice cream nine times in seven days. The icehouse is four miles away. Don't wear too many starched things. Steam laundries are not found on every farm. Don't think any old thing will do to wear on the farm, but don't "dress" too much. Both extremes are in bad taste. Don't imagine that because country fare and ways are different, they are not so good as city things and ways. They may be better. Don't ask for things you don't see or for things out of season. It's two miles to the store. Don't try to be a superior person. It may lead to mistakes. Don't indulge in improving conversation—unless you need it. Don't sit up late or be late to meals. Both are unsanitary. Don't complain because there are no links; life is more than golf. Don't ask for sterilized milk for the baby—unless you bring your own sterilizer. There are other "dont's," but they can all be condensed into the Golden Rule.—The Prophet's Chamber. LIGHTHOUSE AT CAPE HORN. The World's Commerce is Interested in Chilian Survey. David E. Hume, late conservator of the River Humber, sends us the following extract from the letter of a Chilean naval officer, describing his visit to Cape Horn for the purpose of selecting a suitable site on which to erect a lighthouse. Mr. Hume mentions also that the recently formed hydrographical department of the Chilean government has already materially simplified the navigation of the Magellan straits by erecting a lighthouse at each entrance and by placing beacons and buoys on several of the more intricate parts of the passage. The Chilean officer writes under date May 22, 1902: "We were on the cruiser President Errazuriz, under the command of Capt. Arturo Cuevas, C. N., surveying the boy that the captain named Allen Gardiner, on the north side of Hardy peninsula, between Cape Jackson and Packeaddle, where the mission station is. We also were exploring the unsurveyed parts of these regions. When in Allen Gardiner we waited for a good day, and went to Cape Horn at the rate of fifteen knots. We got quite close to the land, and found landing places on the east side of the island and well protected from the west winds, which are dominant in these parts. "In the first place, it was a question of finding proper landing places; secondly, a well-protected place, solid foundations, good sea view, good altitude, not so low that waves would interfere, and not so high that the clouds would cover it; thirdly, that the island should be fit for living. There are good slopes and valleys on the east side, protected from the winds, with streams of water, and big woods for obtaining firewood. Having assured ourselves of these things, it was a very easy matter of making the proper plans and outlaying the lighthouse. If I say easy I do not mean it is an easy task—long way from it—but that it is possible, and that there would never be the immense difficulties there were in the building of the Evangelistas lighthouse on the rocks of the same name in the west entrance of the Straits of Magellan."—London Times.

Hosiery Those wishing a First=Class Meal at Any Hour are Cordially Invited to Call at the WOODARD HOUSE WILLIAM CLARK'S CAREER. Managed Immense Thread Factories at Newark. N. I. William Clark, who recently died at Newark, N. J., belongs to a race of men like George Westinghouse, Thomas A. Edison, Andrew Carnegie and Henry Bessemer, whose mechanical genius has been of incalculable benefit to the human race. The Clark family is famous for the discovery of a process for making cotton thread, and the immense works at Newark are a monument to their sagacity and enterprise. Peter Clark founded the present works at Paisley. His two sons, John and James, succeeded to the business and enlarged it. George A., an elder brother of William Clark, was the founder of the American works in Newark and greatly developed the home factories. On his death William Clark succeeded to the control and management of the works. By reason of his adaptability to the business the works were improved and enlarged. Peter Clark, founder of the industry, began as a maker of silk heddle twine for the famous weavers of Paisley, and at the time when Napoleon seized all the silk in Hamburg found himself without material. In a course of experiments he became convinced that cotton could be made a good substitute for the finer substance and devised machines for spinning it. It soon dawned upon him that the thread which he was making was much better for sewing than the linen fabric which was then in universal use, and he gave over the manufacture of heddles and devoted himself to spool thread alone. Thus it was, more than 100 years ago, that the foundations for the present great industry were laid. William Clark was born in Paisley, in 1841. He received a thorough academic education in the schools of his native town and thereafter was put into the works which his ancestors had established, in which he acquired a practical knowledge of all the methods and processes employed in spinning cotton thread. He came to this country with his brother in 1860. Soon after coming into control he erected on the Newark side of the river a great addition for a spooling factory, and on the eastern bank, opposite the old mills, covered more than ten acres with buildings for spinning cotton thread Here were located the works now known as the Mile End, which are now in control of the Clark Thread Company. He steadily increased the business of the concern, until now many thousands of operatives are employed. In the great merger of thread companies in this country a few years ago Mr. Clark was naturally one of the main figures, and his corporation had a leading part in determining the terms of the consolidatic The retailing of popcorn doesn't look like an especially dignified or promising commercial enterprise, but that there is big money in popcorn, if you can only sell enough of it, is proved by the experience of the Humphrey family of Cleveland. In 1891 the Humphreys, four of them, were worth $25,000 less than nothing. They managed to secure the small capital necessary to start them in the popcorn business on the hand-basket basis. At first they didn't sell much popcorn, but they managed to keep alive and stuck to popcorn. Today they are worth something like a million dollars, all made out of popcorn.

Madison, Wis., July 23.—[Special] One of the heaviest rain storms experienced in this section for several years prevailed yesterday afternoon and considerable damage is reported from the surrounding country. The rain was accompanied by a severe windstorm and shade trees, crops and buildings were wrecked. The total rainfall yesterday was 1.4 inches, or one-third of the entire fall for the past month. Crops are being badly ruined in all parts of the state, the state board of agriculture having received numerous letters from farmers. Secretary John M. True says that the excessive fall of rain will do much damage. The Monona Lake Assembly was badly interfered with owing to the heavy rainfall. The 800 tents and their occupants were badly drenched and the programme was interrupted. Mrs. Bertha Kunz Baker was entertaining 2000 people with a dramatic reading when the storm broke over the camp.

It then passed out through a screen door tearing the screen to shreds. Both families were at home and escaped injury. New Richmond, Wis., July 23.—[Special.]—Later reports confirm and add to the widespread disaster to crops in the wake of last night's hail storm.

Places Dynamite in Kitchen, but Explosive is Discovered—A Second Attempt Proves Futile. Marinette, Wis., July 23.—Charles Sandelin of Daggett has been brought to the Menominee county jail and is now serving a sixty days' sentence. In a spirit of frenzy Sandelin conceived the idea of making kindling wood of his house and blowing up with it his wife and some other members of his family. He first put a stick of dynamite in the kitchen and lit the fuse, but it was discovered in time by a person seeing the act and realizing the danger, sniffed out the fuse in time to avert an explosion. Later Sandelin set another charge of dynamite underneath the building, but fortunately, it is claimed, made the fuse too long and it did not go off before a passing neighbor saw it and was able to put the spark out before it reached the explosive.

La Crosse, Wis., July 23.—"Pure cussedness" was the verdict of Dr. George E. Powell and Dr. Lester yesterday in the case of Carl Bogosh, whom they examined as to his sanity by an order of the county court. The evidence showed that Bogosh, who was arrested for threatening to kill his wife, was so mean that he practiced singing verses of foul words to sacred music in the dead of night beneath the windows of his religiously inclined neighbors. His treatment of his wife had been so brutal that his neighbors captured and confined him before calling the officers. He will be put under peace bonds. MILWAUKEE WOMAN HURT. Mrs. Muehlenbach Falls Down Stairs at West Bend and is Badly Hurt.

Battery A and Company G Preparing to Leave Saturday-Men Practice for Match Shoot. Camp Douglas, Wis., July 23. The camping grounds near here will be taken possession of by the Wisconsin National guard on Saturday, when the First Wisconsin Regiment and Battery A will come here for a week. The Milwaukee soldiers will be accompanied by Clauder's band and the regiment expects to have a full quota of members upon their arrival here.

From these thirty-six twelve men will be picked for the final state contest at the close of the encampment. The changes in the equipment of the troops will be of minor importance. However, the "boys in blue" phrase has partially lost its significance through the adoption of the khaki canvas trousers. These trousers are being adopted by the soldiers of the guard throughout the United States, being more durable, and making poor targets at a distance. STROKE OF PARALYSIS.

Murder of Joseph Blackburn at Gordon Some Years Ago Caused Him to Leave This State. Gordon, Wis., July 23.—[Special.] About four years ago residents in the vicinity of Gordon were startled by the murder of Joseph Blackburn, who had resided in this vicinity for many years, and was well acquainted with everybody. He kept a store and a stopping place and was supposed to have considerable money. He was struck on the back of the head with an ax, and the finding of two empty pocketbooks on the premises proved conclusively that he was murdered for his money. Everything possible was done to apprehend the guilty party, but he was never brought to justice and there is now a supposition on the part of people who knew Blackburn and the circumstances surrounding his murder that the deed was committed by Harry Tracy, the Oregon outlaw, who disappeared from the vicinity of Blackburn's home at about the time the murder was committed.

He heard the noise of the approaching machine and tried to get out of the way. He was caught in the sharp blades and one arm was almost severed from the body. It is feared amputation will be necessary. BIG SALE OF LAND MADE. Four Thousand Acres Dispoed of in Price County. Ripon, Wis., July 21.—[Special.]—One of the largest timber land deals made during this season, in Price county, was consummated Friday by the A. C. Jelleff Company of this city in the sale of a tract of some 4,000 acres, lying two miles north of the town of Westboro, and transferred by the Davis-Starr Lumber Company of Eau Claire, to Messrs. Pynch and Barnett of Ripon. The purchase price was $30,000. The land will be immediately placed upon the market for settlement. DR. ADAMS REGAINING HEALTH. Former Wisconsin University President Has Moved Into New Home. Redlands, Cal., July 21.—[Special.] Dr. C. K. Adams, the former University of Wisconsin president, has been moved into his new home. He is reported to be regaining his usual health and his physicians are hopeful of his recovery. MARINETTE STRIKE OFF. Machinists Will Return to Work Next Saturday. Marinette, Wis., July 21. After a strike of three weeks, the local machinists have been able to come to terms with the Marinette Iron Works Manufacturing Company. The new scale of fifty-five hours a week will go into effect on Saturday. ORDERED TO LEAVE Edward Hobert, Who Solicited Money from Farmers, Requested to Quit Waukesha. Waukesha, Wis., July, 21.—[Special.]—Edward Hobart, alias Dollman, who extracted considerable money from the purses of farmers in the northern part of the county by representing himself as the prospective owner of a harness store and then obtaining loans on future purchases to be made by the farmers, appeared in the municipal court this morning, but on motion of the district attorney the case was dismissed, provided the man would leave the county at once. He had paid back practically all of the money which he had secured and his victims were not particularly anxious to appear against him for obvious reasons When told that he must leave immediately, Hobert asked that he be allowed to stay around for a few days as "he had some business he would like to attend to first." The judge replied that the kind of business that Hobert indulged in was by no means beneficial to the citizens here and he must insist upon the first conditions. He gave an appreciative smile and responded that he guessed perhaps it would be better for them, although what he referred to was drawing some money from a bank in West Bend. He was told that the check would be honored elsewhere if it was good, and the prisoner was apparently satisfied and the case dismissed. Hobert seemed to have plenty of backing and during his imprisonment received money by telegraph from Chicago parties. He had barely escaped rough treatment at the hands of a mob at Menomonee Falls last week when taken in charge by the officers. DIES UNDER CHLOROFORM. Leroy Reilly, 1r-Year-Old Oconomowoc Boy, Expires While Being Operated Upon. Oconomowoc, Wis., July 21.—[Special]—Leroy Reilly, aged 11 years, died suddenly at Dr. M. R. Wilkinson's office yesterday. He had fallen on a rake the Fourth, injuring his knee just below the knee joint. The wound was just healing nicely when he again fell and hurt it and suffered additional injuries to the knee, causing inflammation and deformity. He was taken to Dr. Wilkinson's yesterday and chloroform administered for examination and treatment of the wound. The child took the chloroform nicely the pulse beating regularly and respiration natural and he was almost under the influence when suddenly the heart failed. The chloroform was taken away and stimulants administered but all to no avail and the little fellow was dead. He was a son of Charles Reilly of Mapleton, who has lost several relatives through heart failure. The body was taken to the home of Mrs. M. M. O'Connor, the child's grandmother, where funeral services will be held tomorrow morning at 8:30 o'clock and from there to St. Katherine's church, Mapleton, Rev. Father McCarthy officiating. Burial will be in the Catholic cemetery at Mapleton. GIRL SHOT BY BROTHER. Four-Year-Old Daughter of Henry Franck of Mayville Wounded by Discharge of Gun. Mayville, Wis., July 21.—[Special.]—The 4-year-old daughter of Henry Franck, residing a half-mile north of this place, was accidently shot by her brother yesterday evening shortly after 6 o'clock. The two children were playing with a gun, which accidently was discharged by the boy. The girl is expected to recover. BISHOP COMPLETES TOUR. Since Early Spring Bishop Messmer Has Been Confirming Children in State. Marinette, Wis., July 21.—[Special]—Bishop Messmer has completed his confirmation tours of the diocese for this spring term. Since the early spring he has been busily engaged in visiting the different parishes and missions of the diocese confirming the classes prepared by the pastors of the parishes. Bishop Messmer has not as yet completed his review of these tours, but will do so as soon as possible. The fall tour will probably begin about the latter part of next month. WILL CULTIVATE ISLAND. Marinette Man Leaves for Isle of Pines to Make Improvements. Marinette, Wis., July 21.—[Special.]—J. C. Lind, who has been visiting his brother, C. A. Lind, of this city for some time past, left yesterday for the Isle of Pines, where he will look after the interests of the latter. C. A. Lind owns 100 acres of land there, all of which he hopes, in time, to get under cultivation. The island is situated just sixty miles south of Cuba, and has as rich soil and as pleasant a climate as any spot in the world. MURDERER STILL AT LARGE. August Mathesen, Who Killed John Reine at Hurley, Still Free. Hurley, Wis., July 21.—August Mathesen who murdered John Reine in the street at Gile, during the night of June 20, is still at large. It is supposed that he is hiding in the dense forest near his home, on the Montreal mining location, where he has been seen by children picking berries. He is reported to be armed with a Winchester, and being a desperate character will defy arrest. The county board has offered a reward of $250 for his arrest. BECKER'S YACHT STRIKES ROCK. Milwaukeean's Boat Will Be Laid Up for Repairs at Necnah. Neenah, Wis., July 21—[Special] Sherburn Becker's yacht Romona, in which he is taking a cruise from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi river via the Fov river and locks, met with a serious accident while coming up the river on Saturday evening. When near the Combined Locks the yacht struck a rock and the journey was interrupted. Mr. Becker went to Milwaukee for a few days until the damages can be repaired. BOTH LEGS WERE CUT OFF. George McMann Loses Both Limbs Trying to Board Train. Oshkosh, Wis., July 21.—[Special]—George McMann of Omro was brought to the St. Mary's hospital from Waupaca yesterday, where he was run over by a freight train on Saturday. He attempted to board the train, but slipped and fell under the wheels. Both legs were amputated today and the attending physicians think the man will recover. Employment Bureau's Report. Madison, WI., July 21.—[Special.] Reports of the free state labor bureaus for last week show that all of the applicants for work found places, 160 in all, while eighteen of the applicants for help were unable to find men.

It crawls out of the ground after a sojourn of two years therein, as a grub; climbs a tree trunk, cracks its shell down the back, takes a sun bath, flies to another tree, and, life's burden resting lightly on its shoulders now, as I have said, asserts itself. It means that the world shall know of it, by making a great noise. The method may be original with it, but is not its own exclusively, any more. The world over the cicada is copied. Tucked out of sight, on either side, the cicada has a "kettle drum" of intricate construction and means of plaiyng it of infinite complexity. The result is a rapid, shrill, whizzing sound that sets July's noons all a-tremble! Not that they are done with all their noise in this month, for they are more numerous and active in August, but it is in July that they commence, what for poetry's sake we will call their celebrating of Queen Summer's reign.—Philadelphia Ledger.

No baby in the house I know,— 'T is far too nice and clean; No toys by careless fingers strewn Upon the floors are seen, No scratches on the chairs, No wooden men set up in rows, Or marshalled off in pairs; No little stockings to be darned, All ragged at the toes, No plle of mending to be done, Made up of baby's clothes; No little troubles to be soothed, No little hands to fold, No grimy fingers to be washed, No storles to be told; No tender kisses to be given. No nicknames, "Clove" and "Mouse;" No merry frolles after tea, No baby in the house. IN GAY NEW YORK. Isaac P. S. Brant, Brooklyn's first tax collector and who, fifty years ago, took a leading part in New York Republican politics, is dead from apoplexy. His grandfather, Capt. Smith, was one of Washington's famous body guard. The engagement is announced of Miss Maud Roudez, who sang at the Metropolitan Opera house and at the Royal Opera house, Covent Garden, to Willard Winthrop Barling, a newspaper man of New York city. The marriage will soon take place. Col. Dudley F. Phelps, who was appointed deputy collector of customs under Gen. Chester A. Arthur thirty years ago, has resigned his position as deputy in charge of the Ninth division. Col. Phelps has been granted a thirty-day leave of absence, at the expiration of which he will retire to private life. A number of people wore a broad smile after they passed Grace Church the other day. The cause was a large brown horse wearing one of the popular sun hats that robbed it of the last vestige of dignity. Around the hat the waggish driver had wound a long green veil, which evidently had blown from a passing car. Whenever a woman wearing a green veil saw the horse she quickened her pace perceptibly. The champion freak souvenir wearer is a business man of New York, who wears on his watch chain a locket in which are a common button and two slivers of wood. The wood was cut from the floor on which President McKinley stood when he was shot, and the button was cut from the waistcoat of one of the men who helped overpower the assassin. A man with as morbid a taste as that is not far removed from the category of a Czolgosz. Laura Biggar, the actress, who may inherit a fortune from the late H. M. M. Bennett of Pittsburg, has found her runaway son, Willis, in an Ocean Grove boarding house, after a search covering two weeks. It was for the sake of her boy Willis, who ran away from her, Miss Biggar recently declared, that she acted as Mr. Bennett's housekeeper for more than seven years, isolating herself in the sope of benefiting her boy through the substantial reward she expected for her devotion to the millionaire. Skilled swimmers, paid by the city, will be busy every weekday until September in each of the thirteen big public baths scattered from the battery to One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street teaching the youngsters under 16 years of age how to take care of themselves in the water. There will, therefore, be no good excuse for parents if they do not see that their offspring learn how to swim. And it is a fine chance to make boy water rats out of all the dock rats that are in the habit of sunning themselves on the New York piers. Unmindful of the fact that there is a law against suicide Mrs. Sikey is starving herself to death. She is a big monkey in the Bronx zoo and the mother of a babe 9 months old. Nobody knows just what is gnawing like a canker at the heart of Mrs. Sikey, but there is no doubt that she is suffering with some overpowering woe. She will smile at none except her babe, and that she fondles with a desperate love which is painful. The baby endeavors to get her mamma to eat, but Mrs. Sikey refuses all food. She wants to die. Her heart is broken because she is a widow. Miss Georgianna Pitcher, a Newark, N. J., society woman, has been engaged by James K. Hackett to play the part of Anne Brinsmade in "The Crisis" next season. Miss Pitcher's father was for many years a very prominent figure in the insurance business in this city. He gained considerable distinction at one time through the terms he made with an insurance company, the presidency of which was offered him. He declined a big salary with the statement that he preferred to accept instead a dollar every time he signed his name as president. The family subsequently suffered business reverses, which is the reason for Miss Pitcher's going on the stage. There is an interesting bit of gossip going the round of the cottage colony over the report that a pistol shot was heard in the fashionable district at an early hour the other morning. It is said the location is in the neighborhood of Narragansett and Bellevue avenues, and, although those who reside thereabouts do not remember hearing it, there are those who say that the shot was fired and that a person was injured, and that person a woman. The matter has been taken up by the police. They have been at work on the case and are reticent regarding their discoveries. There are all kinds of rumors afloat, and the affair is causing no end of gossip at the clubs and tea tables. John Drew is to have an original play written for him by Henry Arthur Jones. Charles Frohman signed the contract with Mr. Jones, who is to personally at- tend to the production which will be made at the Empire theater, New York, by Mr. Drew in September, 1903. It is stipulated in the agreement that Mr. Jones is to personally attend to the production. He will leave for New York early in the August preceding. In the event of the play succeeding Mr. Drew will have an option on creating the part in London the following spring. This will be the first of Mr. Jones' plays to receive an original production in New York. The piece is modern, and the character which Mr. Drew will impersonate will be of a more serious nature than anything he has hitherto attempted. A tall policeman at the corner of Broadway and Twenty-third street claims to be an authority on the arms of New York women. He asserts that the girls are putting on more muscle every day, and that he can tell from grabbing hold of them and leading them across the street. He also says that he can tell a woman's character better by her arm than he can by her eyes—whether she is timid, courageous, soft-hearted or hard-hearted. And, finally, he makes the horrible accusation that some of the dear girls flirt with their arms and send all sorts of telegraphic signs at him while he is helping them across the street. If this particular policeman keeps on violating such treasure confidence he ought to be sent up in the goat district, where he can keep company with tin cans and banana peels. Street Commissioner Woodbury has put up on east side corners and near markets along the river his new patent germ catchers, which are expected to catch germs for examination purposes on gelatine plates. Different sets of plates will be exposed, following the cleaning of a street, first by scrapers, then by brushes and last by sprinklers. The germs collected each time will be cultivated and studied in regard to the number and virulence in order to learn which is the best method of cleaning and ridding a certain section of the city of its particular evils in health conditions. It will also be significant to learn which disease germs are peculiar to certain sections of the city, how wind and heat affect their distribution and in what season certain germs are most prevalent. The plates will be exposed from one to six hours at different levels above the street. Thousands of men, women and children, gayly dressed, thronged the streets and joined in the parades, celebrations and church services in "little Italy" in commemoration of the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the patron saint of Naples. A feature of the ceremony was the great parade of the Society of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, in which a banner with a portrait of the virgin was conspicuous. This banner, when the end of the parade was reached, had $5000 in money and jewelry attached to it, these offerings having been pinned on during the march, in accordance with an ancient custom. Lillian Russell's automobile shed at Far Rockaway was burned and with it two automobiles, whose value was said to be $10,000. Miss Russell is staying at the O'Leary cottage at Cedar Lawn for the summer. The fire started from an unknown cause, and got under way so quickly that it was impossible to save the two machines. Miss Russell sat at a rear window of the cottage and watched the destruction of her property. The shed was a wooden affair, valued at $600. "Teneriffe.—Boy. Sol." This cablegram was received from Sol Berliner, United States consul at Teneriffe, Canary Islands. It announces the birth of a son to Mr. and Mrs. Berliner. Mrs. Berliner was Miss Ottenberg of Washington, and there was a great time in Jewish circles in Washington last September when she was wedded to the American consul at Teneriffe. Berliner got his appointment through Senator Platt. William H. Williams, general manager of the Union News Company, died of heart disease at his home in Orange, N. J. He was born in New York state sixty-two years ago, and came to New York city when a boy. He started as a newsboy, and a few years later obtained employment with a news company, with which he remained until 1873, when he organized the Union News Company and became its general manager. Mystery still envelops the strange shooting affair, rumor of which is going the rounds of Newport society. The police say that they have nothing to report on the matter, and that although they have found a man who heard the shots he was unable to locate them. Every physician in town has been seen by the police to see if one could be found who dressed the wounds of the woman who, report has it, was shot, but none had such a call, or, if he did, was willing to give information to the police. The latest rumor is to the effect that after the shots a man came crashing through a window, but even this cannot be verified. Whatever is in the report it causes no end of talk in the cottage colony. Many are inclined to the belief that the report was started for the purpose of injuring someone. The latest authoritative information concerning the plans of Weber & Fields for the coming season is that they are organizing a third all-star company, which will introduce an entirely new form of theatrical productions. The idea comes from Joe Weber, who is now in Chicago arranging for the lease of the Chicago Opera house, or some other if he cannot obtain this one. He will return shortly to New York to sign contracts for the new company and perfect its organization. Before returning to New York he also will have leased a theater in Boston. Then, with theaters in Boston, Chicago and New York, Weber & Fields will have three all-star companies playing in these cities, each re- maining only three months in one place. The regular New York company opens here, while the Wilhe Collier company opens in Chicago and the other one in Boston. At the end of three months the companies exchange cities, putting a new one in a city. One million dollars' worth of presents bestowed by relatives and friends on Miss Lila Vanderbilt Sloane and William Bradhurst Osgood Field on their recent marriage in Lenox have been shipped to New York city, and are now either under guard in the car in which they made the trip or have been transferred to a safety deposit vault to be stored until the fortunate bride and groom establish themselves in a home. Great secrecy was maintained in shipping the treasure, and the present location of the valuable articles is unknown, except to the few persons directly concerned in protecting them. Karl von Bismarck, who claims to be a nephew of Prince von Bismarck, was sent back to Germany with a new outfit of clothes, money in his pocket and his ticket purchased, all by Germans of New York city. Bismarck on June 28 entered the office of a Fifty-ninth street architect and stole some tapestries. When arraigned he pleaded guilty, and was about to be sentenced when he made his identity known. He said that his father had been German consul at Pekin from 1856 to 1879 and that his brother was a judge. He came to this country for the purpose of enlisting in the United States army, but found that he was unable to do that. He worked for a time as a baker. At the time he committed the burglary, Bismarck said, he was forced to it because of hunger. An investigation was made into his case and his story corroborated. The judge suspended sentence, and interested Germans sent the young man home. The heirs of the late Henry M. Bennett of Pittsburg decided to allow the will to be admitted to probate, which is a victory for Miss Laura Biggar, the actress of New York, who is the largest beneficiary under the will. Miss Biggar had been a nurse for Mr. Bennett for over five years. By the provisions of the will she will receive $1000 in ten days and $1800 annually as long as she lives. She is also bequeathed 60 per cent of Mr. Bennett's Pittsburg stock, and a house and lot at 119 East Eighty-third street, New York. The estate is said to be worth $400,000. Laura Biggar was married to Burt Haverly, the minstrel, but left her husband after meeting Henry M. Bennett, the millionaire horseman, in Pittsburg, Pa. Haverly sued Bennett for $100,000 for the alienation of his wife's affactions, but the case was settled by the granting of a divorce. There is renewed interest over the mysterious shots which were fired in the fashionable section of Newport and the scandal which lies behind them. The police department was on the verge of dropping the whole affair, believing the gossip had no foundation, but one of the policemen stumbled over an important clue, which was to the effect that a firm of Newport glaziers supplied three panes of glass for a cottage this week. The two shots were heard by a man residing in Nindale road. It was also well established that a window was broken in a hurried flight. An effort has been made to hush the matter up. Gossip has it that the man who did the shooting was a rich Philadelphian, the man who fled so hastily was an even wealthier New Yorker, and the woman who is said to have been wounded is the Philadelphian's wife. A. Healthy Profession. The death of Joseph Brown, K. C., at the age of 93, removes not, as most papers have it, the senior King's counsel, but the K. C. of the greatest age. Lord Grimthorpe and Lord Hobhouse are his seniors on the roll of his majesty's counsel learned in the law. He is another of the many instances of longevity in men who succeed at the bar. Lord Field enters on his 90th year in August, Lord Brampton will be 85 in September, while Lord Grimthorpe, the senior K. C., kept his 86th birthday last month. The late Lord Esher sat as master of the rolls till he resigned at 82, and died at 84, while the last of the vice-chancellors, Sir James Bacon, dealt out justice till he was 87, and then lived to close on a hundred. All the accounts of the late Joseph Brown make the one mistake of stating that he was always known as Joe Brown; he was always known as "Joey" Brown, from a playful habit of signing himself $4\frac{1}{2}$d.—the fourpenny piece five-and-twenty years ago was known as a Joey, and the brown is a halfpenny.—London Chronicle. Durability of Bamboo. The French consul at Batavia lays stress on the importance of bamboo as a material for constructing builders' scaffolding, and he states that in Java even a lighthouse has been built with its help. The power of resistance of a bamboo cane measuring eight to ten inches in diameter, even with a length of 65 feet, is enormous. Moreover, bamboo is said not to rot either when in the ground or in water, while the drier and older it grows the firmer it becomes. Mary the Riflewoman. Mary Van Dyck, a Boer woman, who is known as "Mary the Riflewoman," and who states that she fought with the Boers, is creating a sensation in the smaller towns of Austria by giving exhibitions of marksmanship. Within the last two years two new words, with many others, have been introduced into the English language—"commandeering," a polite word for theft, and "morganeering," the legal acquisition of the property of others. Citizens of Healdsburg, Cal., get their light, power and water from hill streams 30 miles away, and the city owns the plant. REED ON CASTORIA. Vice Chancellor Reed Sustains Charles H. Fletcher in His Suit Vice Chancellor Reed, sitting in the Court of Chancery at Trenton, N. J., has just rendered a decision of vital importance in the case of The Centaur Company against a party calling themselves the C. W. Link Drug Company. It seems for the past year or more Mr. Charles H. Fletcher, president of The Centaur Company, the manufacturers of Castoria, has been fighting, through the courts, counterfeiters and imitators of their goods. All of the fake goods are put up in a manner to lead the purchaser to think they are getting the same Castoria they have always bought, and the Chancellor dwells at length on this point, showing how easy it would be to inform the public of the difference between the packages if it were not their object to mislead the consumer. He says in part: "Every one of the packages put in evidence by the defendant show a persistent adoption of the size of the bottle and the label of the complainant. All these manufacturers knew, just as the defendant knew, that if the remedy was put up in round bottles or in bottles distinctively larger or smaller, or if the bottles were so differently wrapped, as to at once arrest the attention of the casual purchaser, the sale of the remedy in such packages would at once become substantially reduced." Citing numerous cases in line with this opinion, he gave Mr. Charles H. Fletcher the injunction asked for and the C. W. Link Drug Company must seek new fields.—Philadelphia Inquirer. MR. ROOSEVELT'S CHICKENS. Under the Shade at the McKinley Tree at the White House. The white house grounds at Washington are noted for their large and beautiful trees. One of the prettiest of the younger trees is the little white oak planted by President McKinley on the morning of the first day of November, 1898. Norris, the old gardener who held the tree while the President shoveled on the earth, said that at the time it was planted he did not expect it to live a month, but at present it looks as though it were good for a cenury. The little tree stands just in front of the old conservatory, now being torn down to make room for the new office building of the present chief executive. During the heat of the day one generally can see the President's two game chickens resting peacefully in its shade. Just to the right as one enters the white house grounds is a flourishing chestnut oak that was planted by Mrs. Cleveland during her husband's last administration. Caprice and Luck. In gambling one thing is certain, and that is the very large percentage is in favor of the bank or the game. Caprice is the only law of chance. And the results are as fanciful as they are unanticipated. One summer—the last of John Morrissey's life—a party from Washington were making merry in the wine room of the club house in Saratoga, among whom was a youthful attache of the French embassy. Without remark, this attache suddenly rose, entered the playroom and going to a roulette table, tossed a hundred dollar bill on ten, black. The dealer politely informed him that he had exceeded the limit. The attache was insistent. Morrissey, sauntering nodded to the dealer to let it go. It won. Refusing to accept chips, the attache gathered in his winnings and rejoined his friends. Half an hour later he did the same thing, and was again successful. At frequent intervals he repeated his trips, invariably winning, never once losing until he had won $17,000, when his friends carried him off. As he left, Morrissey remarked to a friend: "I never take the limit off that the bank doesn't lose. Nevertheless, there was a profit on the night's play for the bank.—Brooklyn Eagle. What Might Have Been. Sonoma, Mich., July 21.-Mr. Delos Hutchins of this place says: "If I could have had Dodd's Kidney Pills 25 years ago I would not now be crippled as I am." Mr. Hutchins spent from 1861 to 1864 in the swamps of Louisiana as a northern soldier and with the result that he contracted Rheumatism, which gave him much pain till Mr. Fred Parker, the local druggist, advised him to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. The first two boxes did not seem to help him very much, but Mr. Parker, knowing that Dodd's Kidney Pills would eventually cure him, pressed Mr. Hutchins to continue, and by the time four boxes were used the short, sharp, shooting pains which had tortured his back, hip and legs were entirely gone. Mr. Hutchins says: "I cannot tell you how much better I am feeling. If it were not for the way my hands, feet and knees are drawn out of shape I would be about as good as ever. Australia's Blackberry Pest. Blackberries thrive more luxuriantly in Australia than in Europe or America, their growth being so rapid that in many places they are regarded as an agricultural pest. Like the first rabbits, the original blackberry vines have grown and multiplied until they bid fair to cover the face of the country. The bushes are not cultivated—they can look after themselves, as many Australian agriculturists are painfully aware—but the jam made from their fruit is sufficiently tempting to make one forget their unwelcome presence on the farm.

From the Treasurer of the Young People's Christian Temperance Association, Elizabeth Caine, Fond du Lac, Wis. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I want to tell you and all the young ladies of the country, how grateful I am to you for all the benefits I have received from using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I suffered for O MISS ELIZABETH CAINE. eight months from suppressed menstruation, and it effected my entire system until I became weak and debilitated, and at times felt that I had a hundred aches in as many places. I only used the Compound for a few weeks, but it wrought a change in me which I felt from the very beginning. I have been very regular since, have no pains, and find that my entire body is as if it was renewed. I gladly recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to everybody."—MISS ELIZABETH CAINE, 69 W. Division St., Fond du Lac, Wis.—$5000 forfelt if above testimonial is not genuine. At such a time the greatest aid to nature is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It prepares the young system for the coming change, and is the surest reliance for woman's ills of every nature.

Mechanical Miners. Mining is a phase of activity which has been revolutionized by new methods of transport. At some of the deepest borings in the world-those in the copper country bordering on Lake Superior-buckets of ore are now hoisted from the depth of a mile at a speed of sixty miles an hour. Machinery has taken the labor from the backs of the plodding mules, which formerly dragged to the surface the small cars containing the yield of the iron mines. Giant steam shovels rank high among modern mechanical marvels. When there is any great work of excavation to be done, like a cutting through a hill where a railway line is to run, or mining on the side of a mountain, the steam shovel will do the work in the quickest, best and cheapest style possible. A giant shovel in use in an American mine will handle forty or fifty tons in ten minutes, lifting the ore in its great open mouth and loading it into freight cars. This --- CAREFULLY DONE...

Many strange utensils are employed for transferring the crude treasures of the earth to and from the boats which carry them over the seas. "Car dumpers" are ingenious machines which, in the space of a minute, will pick up loaded coal truck, empty the content into a vessel's hold, and return the ca. to the railroad track. For unloading coal, buckets descend open-mouthed into the hold, when their iron jaws come together and snap up a ton or more of coal at a time. In warehouses and in most big business establishments elevators and endless traveling platforms do all the work of handling the merchandise. Indeed, labor-saving appliances are now being employed almost universally. Pearson's. Bragge-I was knocked senseless by a cricket ball two years ago.
