Wisconsin Weekly Advocate

State Histor Society of Madison WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE We intimated in our last issue that we were enlisted in the fight now on to secure the unconditional return of Hon John C. Spooner to the United States Senate, so far as it lies within our limited power, against the oligarchical element of the Republican party in this state as represented by La Follette, Stephenson et al. Since that unholy assemblage at Madison the plain people have been doing some thinking along unbiased lines; are beginning to take matters into their own hands and act independently for themselves to the consternation of the demagogic political bosses. The latest returns from the interior of the state, where nominations have been made for members of the Legislature, clearly indicate this fact and bespeaks a general healthy condition. The people who comprise the rank and file of the G. O. P. when thoroughly aroused to the importance of a duty, such as new confronts them, may be relied upon to act with circumspection and decision. Boss rule must go, and the "peanut" politician with it; the dominant faction now misrepresenting the will of the majority and the Republican party is becoming prurient and are "running to cover" to avoid the righteous indignation now overspreading the state. The shrewder of the bosses perceive with alarm the handwriting on the wall; while the ranks of the unthinking followers are badly dismayed. Senator Spooner will succeed himself. In another column of this paper a call is issued by prominent Republicans in behalf of Senator Spooner's political interest. We feel as a race that we cannot permit the retirement of this truly great man without exerting our efforts to forestall it to the fullest extent of our capability. We do not propose to act other than as Republicans and will not be read out of the party by those who consider themselves "honorary" doctors of political quackery and who prescribe populistic nostrum as a regimen. We believe in the great principles of Republicanism as represented in the national party by Theodore Roosevelt and his admirable cabinet. We believe the nation to be greater than the state as Lincoln contended it was, and so decided by Grant, after four years of horrid war. John C. Spooner is in harmony with the national party and the recognized representative in the Senate of the present administration. The Republicanism of Lincoln, McKinley and Roosevelt is the kind we embody and become imbued with; we consider it broader and more far-reaching in its effects and benefits than that which relates to certain insignificant reforms in the state of Wisconsin. For his failure to endorse these so-called reforms and without notification that such was expected of him, Senator Spooner is told by the party in control of the late convention that his Republicanism was in doubt and for that reason could not be given the hearty endorsement of the party. But, as said before, the rank and file of the party has had time to think, as well as regret the rashness of that convention, reason has returned and asseris itself, common sense disrobes the "goddess of reform" of the veil that has hidden the chicanery of false leadership It is ordained in the very nature of things that Mr. Spooner must remain in his present high position, where he will continue great in the councils of his party and country long after his enemies have sunk beyond the horizon into political omvion. We prefer to march under the banner of Roosevelt and Spooner to that of La Follette and Walter Houser. The long looked for reply from Gen. Bryant to Gen. Winkler's open letter is out. It is a lawyer's evasive argument of answering a few plain questions and conveys nothing new to the layman. The truth in a nutshell to our mind lies in the fact that both of these gallant old war-horses fought with the Union against sectionalism and state rights. Just how at this late day Gen. Bryant has allowed the principles of '61 to become dormant and contend that the local party of a state is paramount to the national party is matter that we cannot become reconciled to. We agree with Gen. Winkler in every particular. His questions are plain, simple and manly. The time has long passed when members of a political party in a republic of free government must bow to the will of a dictator or fall into line at the crack of the party whip. A Deadly Snuff. Snuff is the local name of a mysterious malady which has already caused the deaths of many sheep in Cardiganshire, Wales. —It takes about three seconds for a message to go from one end of the Atlantic cable to the other. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS NEWS. The editor has lately returned from Minneapolis and St. Paul, where he has been since the session of the National Afro-American Council. He met, while there, many representative citizens of both races. The colored citizens of both cities are making rapid progress along commercial, educational and industrial lines and are second to none. Mr. Adolph Thirrl of Milwaukee, Wis., and well known in the twin cities, has lately been added to the Advocate editorial staff. The Advocate deserves to be congratulated upon its good luck in acquiring the services of this enter- prising young man. Among the many friends visited were many formerly residents of Milwaukee, and all seem to be doing well. Mr. and Mrs. Hargrove are living in a cozy home at 444 Farrington avenue. Mrs. Hargrove is in good health as is evidenced by her looks. Mrs. Burnett is in her same lively form and looking well. Mr. Geo. Wheeler of Milwaukee is at the Ryan hotel and is doing nicely. At the Ryan are also Mr. Chas. Barker and James Stewart. Mr. Stewart is going on hi vacation shortly and will visit Milwaukee on his trip. Mr. Barker will send for his family soon. Messrs. Al Keel, Will Davis and Charles Sharp, former Milwaukeeans, are railroad men and running between St. Paul and various points. Mr. Sharp is married to Miss Van Patter, whom Milwaukeeans will remember as one of us some years ago. They own a nice house. Mr. J. M. Brown, manager of the Twin City Club, has gone to Mississippi on a visit, where he will remain about fifteen days. Mrs. Jack Hunter, well and favorably known in Milwaukee, has established in St. Paul a large and commodious rooming and boarding house, where she is prepared to entertain her friends and the traveling public. Her establishment is known as the Hotel de Hunter, and is situated at 376 Jackson street, upper flat, and is comfortable, commodious and well and neatly kept. Mrs. Hunter's charges are reasonable, she gives perfect satisfaction and the Advocate wishes her success. Joseph S. Strong, treasurer of the Small Loan Company, is a thriving business man. He has been connected with the Small Loan Company for several years. The concern is located at Room 410, Washburn Building, and has a large patronage. Mr. Strong is also a local preacher. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Blackwell own a handsome residence in St. Paul and are living happily. Mr. Harry Johnson, formerly of Milwaukee, is a resident of Minneapolis. J. E. Potter, M. D., is one of St. Paul's most popular physicians and has more patients than he can attend to. He has an elegant suite of offices in the Washburn building. Mr. J. J. Hirschfield of Ried & Hirschfield has gone East on a visit. He will remain at Orchard Beach all summer. When our people are able to take such vacations there must be something weighty back of it. Another prominent St. Paul gentleman is Mr. E. P. Wade, who was formerly messenger to the governor. He will take the stump in the coming election for Gov. Van Sant and the whole state ticket. Mr. Thos. H. Lykes conducts shaving and bathing parlors at 20 East Fourth street, and they are second to none. He is a bright business man and he and his brilliant and accomplished wife are among the best known citizens of St. Paul. Assistant Secretary of State. Peter G. Sjoblom (Rep.), was born in Gothenburgh, Sweden, June 26, 1866. Arrived in America, Indiana, six month later and in Minnesota, at Red Wing, 1869. Educated in common schools and high school of Red Wing, University of Minnesota and University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Taught district and city schools. Member of faculty of Augustana College, Rock Island, 1890-1894. Public service, municipal court of Minneapolis, February, 1899; United States internal revenue service, August, 1898, from which position was appointed assistant secretary of state and commissioner of statistics January 7, 1901. Married and resides in Minneapolis. In newspaper work since a boy and at present editor and publisher of the Minneapolis Telegram. Mr. Peter G. Sjoblom is the man who made J. Frank Wheaton of Minneapolis, the colored lawyer who was elected to the House of Representatives of the state of Minnesota. Hon. Carl G. Schulz The assistant superintendent of public instruction of the state of Minnesota, Carl G. Schulz, was born in Nicollet county, town of New Sweden, Minn., in 1867. His father, a farmer by occupation, came to Minnesota from Sweden, his native country, in 1865 and settled on a farm in Nicollet county. Carl's early education was obtained in the district schools of the county. He then attended the Gustavus Adolphus College at St. Peter for four years, preparing for higher education, after which he entered Augustana College at Rock Island, Ill., and graduated in the class of 1888. He chose the profession of teacher, and first taught in a district school. After several years of this work he was appointed principal of the schools at Winthrop, Minn., where he served for one year. In January, 1890, he was appointed superintendent of schools of Nicollet county, Minn., to succeed Judge Gresham. He then showed such capacity and efficiency that he was continued in the position at the first election following, and he was repeatedly re-elected at every election until he was appointed to his present position of assistant superintendent of public instruction, in January, 1901. In politics Mr. Schulz has always been an active, unswerving Republican, taking an active part in public affairs. P. S. The editor on entering the office of Prof. Schulz met with the heartiest and cordial welcome. Everyone in the office is polite and generous, pains taken in seeing that everyone is treated well. The office shows culture and refinement such as are found among all educators. Wallace Barton Douglas of Moorhead, Minn., was born at Leyden, N. Y., September 20, 1852. His father, Ashahel M. Douglas, was a farmer. His mother's maiden name was Alma E. Miller. He traces his ancestry from Deacon William Douglas, who emigrated from Scotland to America in 1640 and settled in New England with his two children. Robert and Ann. His wife's maiden name was Anna Mattle. She was a daughter of Thomas Mattle of Ringstead, Northamptonshire, Eng. From this union sprang the leading branch of the Douglas family in America. The Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, who was United States senator from Illinois, held the first rank in the family membership. W. B. Douglas had a common school education, supplemented by less than one year's instruction at the old and famous Cazenovia Seminary in Cazenovia. When he was 15 years of age his father moved to Momence, Ill. From this point he attended the University of Michigan, graduated from the law department in 1875. From 1875 to 1883 he practiced law in Chicago, his office being next to Emory A. Storr's. He was treated almost as a protege by that noted counselor, and acquired much valuable information and not a little inspiration from him. In 1883 his health required a change of climate. He came to Minnesota and settled at Moorhead, where he has lived and practiced law. Mr. Douglas has always been a Republican and has taken an active part in politics. He held the office of city attorney at Moorhead five years, was county attorney of Clay county six years and is recognized as one of the best known and ablest attorneys in Northwestern Minnesota. He was elected to the Legislature, 1895-1896, from the Fiftieth senatorial district, which was Democratic and Populist by a majority of 871 for the Republican party. In the following session of the Legislature he lent prominent aid in support and in securing the passage of the Red river drainage appropriation and had full charge of the measure after its constitutionality was attacked. He succeeded in convincing the House and Senate judicial committee that the legislation was strictly constitutional, and all this, too, after the attorney general had declared the enactment void. The law has since been upheld and respected. He was the author and promoter of the legislation changing the right of appeals from the decisions of the board of R. and warehouse commissioners to the county wherein the complaint resided. When the park board of Minneapolis offered Loring park to the Legislature as a site for the new capitol, it was Mr. Douglas who succeeded in showing that the park board had no power to make such a donation. He is a good debater and a hard fighter—a man whose aid is courted and resistance feared. Should be Nominated. Ross Clarke, the well known attorney of St. Paul, Minn., is a candidate for the Republican nomination for the office of clerk of the district court. Mr. Clarke has been a resident of that city for fifteen years and is well and favorably known by the residents of the city. He is an orator of much ability and for many years has been on the staff of Republican campaign speakers and has made speeches throughout the state and in many states. He has always taken a lively interest in public affairs and in local politics. He is a member of the chamber of commerce and of the Commercial Club and several other public organizations. Mr. Clarke has done much effective work for the Republican party. In 1896 he organized the sound money demonstration held in October of that year. This demonstration was admitted to be the greatest success of the campaign of 1896 and it was one of the most effective things done in Minnesota for the cause of McKinley and sound money. Mr. Clarke has always been a consistent friend of the colored race. He is a firm believer in a greater and better destiny for the black man and has ever been ready to lend a helping hand to anything looking to that end. Mr. Clarke, although he has helped many others get office, has never before sought an office for himself. He believes in rotation in office and is much opposed to a third term for any but judicial offices. W. W. P. McConnell. The food and dairy commissioner of Minnesota, has demonstrated to the world that in dairy products she takes the stand pre-eminently in the foremost ranks. One of the chief means that has given to her this distinction has been the working of the dairy and food commissioner. This department was created by an act of 1885, giving to it the execution of laws enacted to protect the dairy and guard against the foes of the butter interest such as oleomargarine and by the products that have assumed the name of butter. Under the supervision of Mr. McConnell and his deputies there has been a rigid inspection of the herds of the state. It was at first regarded as an unlawful interference by them in the liber- ties of many of the dairymen, but has resulted in their welcoming and carrying into execution such reform as have been for the best. There are 582 creameries and 60 cheese factories in actual operation during the year 1900. These creameries receive milk from 331,512 cows, producing 972,799,299 pounds of milk per annum, realizing to the patrons producing amount of $6,959,914.35 during the year 1900. While the dairy interest has kept well in the lead of all our agricultural industries in the state, the wise management of Mr. McConnell will be a wonder to all agriculturists of the state. State Printer Expert Charles C. Whitney is a native of New Hampshire and 54 years of age. He was engaged in the printing and newspaper business in Massachusetts from 1865 to 1880, when he came to Minnesota and has since been engaged in newspaper work, publishing the News-Messenger at Marshall, in Lyons county. He was elected state expert printer in November, 1895. Mr. Whitney served in the Union army in Co. I. Sixth Massachusetts regiment, and Co. D. Massachusetts Battalion of Twenty-sixth New York cavalry. His family comprises a wife and five children. URANIUM AND VANADIUM Metals that Increase the Tensile Strength of Steel. During the last few years there has been some demand for these metals for experimental work as to their beneficial effect upon steel. Uranium is found in the forms uraninite, gummite and carnotite. The principal occurrences of uraninite are at the Wood, the Black Hawk and the Kirk mines, near Central City, Gilpin county, and on the Dolores river at the mouth of Disappointment Creek, Montezuma county, Col. It has also been found on the eastern slopes of Paradox valley, Montrose county, Col. It has been found in doubtful quantity in the Ross Hannibal mine in the Ruby basin of the Black Hills, South Dakota; in the President mine, near Elizabethtown, Colfax county, N.M., and, with gummite also, in some of the pegmatitic dikes of Mitchell county, N.C. Carnatite, which contains the oxides of both uranium and vanadium, occurs at La Salle Creek, six miles from Cashin, Montrose county, Col., and it is reported from the western slopes of the La Salle mountains in Southeastern Utah. The other principal source of vanadium is canadinite, which has been found in some quantity at the Vulture and the Phoenix mines in Maricopa county, and at the Mammoth mine, near Oracle, Pinal county, Ariz., and at Lake Valley, Sierra county, and at the Mimbres mines, near Georgetown, Grant county, New Mexico. Vanadium has been obtained from certain slags at Creusot, France, and it has also been found in the ash of certain coals—a source that it attracting the interest of manufacturers and chemists. Both uranium and vanadium, as ferroalloys, increase to a remarkable degree the tensile strength and toughness of steel, though no commercial steel seems thus far to have been made with them. Uranium compounds are used in manufacturing and decorating porcelain and glass, and canadium is used for vanadium bronze in the place of gold bronze. The production of uranium and vanadium minerals during 1901, confined for the most part to Colorado, amounted to about 375 short tons of the crude ore. The highest record price for the crude ore was $150 per ton; uranium oxide has been sold as high as $1.20 per pound.—Electrical Review. On a "Whaler." Of the little remnant of twenty-four sailing vessels that ye hail from New Bedford most go far into the Arctic ocean during the short open summer and there remain until the ice freezs them in. The frozen-in ship is then their home for from one to two years. Sails are taken down and stowed away, and the deck is roofed over like an old-time English prison ship. As a further protection against the cold, snow and ice is piled solidly and packed about the ship's sides as high as the rails. Near the stern a hole is cut through the ice to the water, that there may be an abundant supply in case of fire, and it is a part of the regular duty of the men to keep this hole clear of ice. Arctic game furnishes fresh meat, and in this the crews are aided by the Eskimos, with whom they maintain most friendly relations. When a ship has finished her short summer's whaling, and has frozen in for the winter, the natives within an area of a hundred miles make the spot their headquarters. They help not only in getting game but in making time pass during the eight months' idle season. For this the good old American games serve well when the weather permits, and there is many an Eskimo whose entire vocabulary in English consists of the words "one strike" and "foul." When, as is often the case, a dozen or more New Bedford whalers winter close together, the all-important problem of vanishing ennui becomes easy.—Boston Transcript. Effect of the Night. James Russell Lowell told a story about his butcher. One morning the man expatiated upon the loveliness of the moonlight of the night before, says an exchange, and just as the poet was thinking that he had done him an injustice in never having given him credit for refinement of soul, the butcher added: "The night was so fine I jest couldn't sleep, and had to get up and go to killin'" NEW CHURCH FOR THE PRESIDENT. NEW GRACE REFORMED CHURCH REV. JOHN P. SHICK When President Roosevelt returns to the strenuous life at the White House once more he will find a brand new church in which to make his devotions. The President's pastor, Dr. John M. Schick, is personally superintending the building of the new structure, which will be known as the Grace Memorial Church.

ADOLPH THIRLL. Secretary. Mr. E. Douglas of Aurora, Ill., spent several days in the Cream City visiting friends and relatives. Mr. Douglas was much delighted with the Cream City. He is manager of the Aurora Chemical Works. Mr. George Bland, who has been visiting in the southland for the past eight months, has arrived home much improved in health. Mr. Rosco Conklin Bruce of Mississippi paid the Cream City a brief visit last week. He is a graduate of Harvard University.

Mr. Charles Bradley, Eighth street, who has been the head private waiter at the Plankinton House for several years has resigned his position. The Bogus Society man is still in the city at this writing. Keep your eye on this column for all the news. A certain woman of this city remarked that she was looking for society men. We wonder has she found them. She is a member of the who is who. Dick Catlin has left the Plankinton and can be found at his usual haunts. The picnic that was to take place last Thursday by the Daughters of Protection was postponed on account of the inclementy of the weather. The Loyal Legion of Labor is national non-partisan undenominational race movement, mapped out as a consistent course of action for dealing with every phase of the so-called race problem through its work of dealing with matters touching the vital interests of the colored race and its multifarious relations with the dominant race is being reduced to business system. Tens of thousands of foreigners are being imported into this country as laborers and who are gradually taking the places of our men who have families depending on them for support. A stubborn and ag- NUMBER 43. R THE PRESIDENT. REV. JOHN M. SHICK turns to the strenuous life at the brand new church in which to make his Dr. John M. Schick, is personally super- ture, which will be known as the Grace gressive effort is being made daily to deprive us of the rights and privileges that cost our nation blood and treasure to secure for us "mobs and lynching bees." Prejudice is everywhere against our race, and becoming more intense and we must get together and do something for ourselves. The hour demands it. The future of our wives and children calls in thundering tones for it, and all that we hold dear in the way of future permanency and progress as a race is dependent upon it. Every colored man that has his race at heart should join this great organization J. J. Miles, head waiter at the Plankinton, is possibly the oldest and most prominent of the first-class head waiters of the United States. He is also the best known head waiter in the world. One who has never traveled with him cannot realize his popularity. He has made more colored men than any Afro-American living. At the national council he was the leading delegate and was one of the most sought after men in the convention. The entertainment given every Thursday evening by Miss Carter is strictly private and no one admitted but those who have invitations and the invitation must be presented at the door. I hope everyone will pay attention to this and govern themselves accordingly. Yours, Mr. L. H. Palmer has just returned from Nashville, Tenn., where he was called by the death of his youngest sister. The Advocate extends sincerest sympathy in his bereavement. The Edwin Thanhouser Company. Edwin Thanhouser, manager; Miss Meta Miles, private secretary to manager, and Mr. Bart Ruddles, press agent, constitute the office force of the most successful stock company which has ever been connected with the Academy of Music. So popular has the company become and so efficient the management that 1500 people have been turned away nightly since the opening of the summer season. The Academy has lately been overhauled and many new features added. Tumor Kills Western Show Giant. Lewis Wilkins, 30 years old, 8 feet 2 inches in height, and, when in health, weighing 365 pounds, died at the Presbyterian Hospital in Chicago recently from tumor on the brain. A casket was especially constructed for the body. It was 9 feet in length and twice as wide as the ordinary casket. The body was shipped to Waukomix, Ok., for interment. When Wilkins arrived in Chicago from Waukomix a police ambulance awaited him. He was so tall that he could not lie on the regular stretcher, but was forced to sit on the floor of the vehicle and draw his legs up beneath him. The policemen were forced to ride on the seat, there being no room inside. He was then taken to the Presbyterian Hospital, where a special bed had to be constructed for him. A ring that Wilkins wore on a finger of his left hand is so large that a silver half-dollar can be easily passed through it. His home was in Indian Territory. He had visited Europe and most of the larger cities of America with museums and shows. Suggestions for the Country House. Gosseware is the new English fad for country house use. Its surface has a rich tone of cream white, and the decorations never interfere with showing broad spaces of it, which makes for a light, clear, cheery effect. In nursery plates each has a large single bird of the barnyard family or of those bred for game, as well as tropical species of many sorts. These brilliantly yet softly colored plates sell for the trifling price of 25 cents each. Loving cups are from $1.50 to $3, while tumbler-shaped vases, or for table use as well, also sell for 25 cents a piece, having legends in verse to increase their attractiveness. That the slave trade is still being carried on at Muscat was shown recently, when Portuguese gunboats captured slave dhows and set free 700 slaves. --- Striking Mineworkers are Becoming Desperate. Number of Nonunion Workmen are Driven from the Engines, Pumps and Fire Rooms. Shenandoah, Pa., July 30.-The attitude of the striking mine workers here is daily becoming more demonstrative. All last night a mob of fully 1000 men and boys were on the march. They first visited West Shenandoah colliery and drove the nonunion workmen from the engines, pumps and fire rooms. The workmen were compelled to seek refuge in the camp of the coal and iron police. The strikers assailed the breaker with stones, doing considerable damage to window glass. From the West Shenandoah mine, the mob proceeded to Indian Ridge colliery, where they were confronted by a body of special police whose presence prevented violence. Squads of strikers picketed the approaches to several mines where pumping is in progress and urged the men employed to quit work. Deputy Sheriff Coombs, Union Organizer Ginley and a posse of deputy sheriffs are here endeavoring to maintain order. Strikers Growing Restless. Shamokin, Pa., July 30.—Hundreds of strikers lined the roads leading to different collieries today and prevented the nonunion men from going to work. John Shipman and son, nonunion men, were brutally beaten. Strike leaders are busily engaged in trying to calm the strikers, who have grown more restless. President Mitchell will visit here as soon as possible to address the men in an endeavor to keep them from breaking the law and also to urge them to remain away from the mines. Seek Other Employment. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 30.—The departure of miners from the anthracite region to the bituminous fields continues. About thirty men left today for Indiana. The officials of the United Mine Workers find they cannot provide place for all the applicants who want to leave and this is causing some dissatisfaction among the strikers. Press Feeders Go Out. New York, July 30.—A strike of press feeders was ordered in six job printing establishments here today by the Press Feeders' Union because of the refusal of Master Printers to grant a demand for $14 per week for that class of labor. About 150 men are out, but unless the difficulty is settled before tomorrow evening the union officials threaten to call out the men employed in about forty shops which will involve about 1000 feeders. Differences Adjusted. Washington, D. C., July 30.—The differences between the striking electricians and the New York contractors having in charge the electrical work at the white house have been satisfactorily adjusted and the men have returned to work. DISBROW HEIR TO FORTUNE Inmate of New York Jail Inherits $50,000 from the Estate of His Grandfather. New York, July 30.—Held by the grand jury of Suffolk county on the charge of causing the death of Clarence W. Foster and "Dimple" Lawrence at Good Ground, L. I., Louis A. Disbrow, in a cell at Riverhead jail, is believed to be heir to $50,000 from the estate of his grandfather, Hosea B. Perkins, who has just died. He had been sick for more than a year and when the Good Ground tragedy and Disbrow's connection with it became known there was much speculation as to whether he would make any change in his will, which it is understood provided a legacy of $50,000 for each of his grandchildren. Mr. Perkins' condition of health was such that news of the tragedy probably would have hastened the end, so he never was informed of his grandson's plight. Mr. Perkins was 83 years old. SUNK IN COLLISION. Two British Steamers Come Together Off Malacca with Disastrous Results Singapore, July 30.—In a collision off Malacca, Straits Settlement, between the British steamers Prince Alexander and Ban-Hin-Guan, the former vessel was sunk and forty lives were lost. The steamer Prince Alexander was built at Papenburg, Prussia, in 1878. It was 132.7 feet in length, with a net tonnage of 138 and sailed under the British flag. The Ban-Hin-Guan also was built in 1878 at Glasgow. It was 180.3 feet long, with a gross tonnage of 449. PAUL VAN DER VOORT DIES. Was Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic in 1882. Puerto Principe, Cuba, July 30.--Paul Van Der Voort, past commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, died yesterday of paralysis of the heart. He was born in Ohio in 1846. He enlisted for the three months' service in the Sixty-eighth Illinois infantry and reenlisted in Co. M. Sixteenth Illinois cavalry, and was with his regiment in the ninth and twenty-third corps and the cavalry corps of the military division of the Mississippi. He was discharged August 1, 1865, as sergeant. Past Commander Van der Voort joined the Grand Army in Illinois in 1866, and was assistant adjutant general to Department Commander Hilliard. He resigned the position on his removal to Omaha, where he was mainly instrumental in the reorganization of the department of Nebraska, to which he was assigned as provisional commander. On the formation of the department he was elected department commander. He was elected senior vice commander in chief in 1878 and commander in chief in 1882. TOOK A DOSE OF RAT POISON Menominee (Mich.) Man Whose Wife Refused to Return Home. Menominee, Mich., July 30.—[Special.] —Because his wife had left him and lent a deaf ear to his entreaties for her to return home, George Murry, a middle-aged man who resided with his two small children, took a dose of rat poison. Murry is in great agony, but the doctors think they can save his life. Since she left her husband Mrs. Murry has been working in a restaurant and yesterday Murry visited the place and besought her to come home. She refused, and on his way to his home he stopped at a drug store and bought the poison. Mrs. Murry was told of her husband's deed, but declined to go home until her work at the restaurant had been finished. USED COMPANY'S MONEY TRUSTED CASHIER BECOMES DEEPLY INVOLVED. Turns Over All of His Property to Make Good a Shortage of About Eighty Thousand Dollars. Cedar Rapids, Ia., July 30.—Charles A. Perkins, cashier of the district office of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, admits that he has been speculating with the company's money. The shortage is not less than $80,000, and may go above that sum. Perkins said he began to take the company's funds for personal investments ten years ago, when he was suddenly confronted with the necessity of providing for three families. He thought he could invest the money, make it bring him a good income, and return it to the company without loss. A short time ago he found he was getting deeply involved and then he confessed to the general agent, H. A. Munger. He has turned over all his stocks in various companies to Munger, also giving him a mortgage on his interests in his fine home in this city. Munger will have to make good the NO OIL COMBINE. Standard Oil Attorney Says London Story is False from Beginning to End. New York, July 30.—Regarding the cabled report that the Standard Oil Company has entered or will enter into an agreement with the Rothschilds and Nobel interests to control the world's production, M. F. Elliott, the secretary of the Standard Oil Company, today made the following statement: "I am authorized to say that the story has absolutely no foundation in fact. It is false from beginning to end. Furthermore, the Standard Oil Company has at no time considered a plan of this kind, and at no time has that company entered into negotiations about this matter." London, July 30.—James McDonald, general representative of the Standard Oil Company and manager of the Anglo-American Oil Company, denies the story printed in the Daily Mail to the effect that the oil interests of Rockefeller, Rothschild and Nobel have entered into a working agreement. Mr. McDonald said to a representative of the Associated Press: "Nothing of the sort has been accomplished or contemplated. The rumor must have sprung from the fact that the Shell Trading Company, which handles much Russian product in the East, was negotiating in the direction of securing the export trade of the whole Russian output. There had been some slight negotiation towards taking over the Shell business by the Standard Oil Company, but this was without result. It is improbable that the Standard Oil Company will depart from its policy of handling the American product only, so long as that remains sufficient to supply the trade." CONFIDENCE RESTORED. Result of Notice by Commander McCrea that Foreign Residents Would Have Protection. Cape Haytien, Hayti, July 30.—Gen. Albert Salnave, commanding an army in support of M. Firmin's candidacy for the Presidency, is camped with a large body of troops about three miles from this place. Gen. Nord, who went out to give battle to Gen. Salnave, was defeated and his army retreated in panic to Cape Haytien. The volunteers have abandoned their posts. Confidence has been restored among the foreign residents of the city, thanks to the energetic measures taken by Commander McCrea of the United States gunboat Machias and United States Consul Livingston to guarantee them protection in case of an attack on the city. Carupano, Venezuela, July 30.—The French trans-Atlantic line steamer Saint Germain, escorted by the French man-of-war Suchet, has touched at Carupano without having encountered a Venezuelan warship. This is regarded as new evidence that the blockade of Venezuelan ports is ineffective. M. P. GOES TO JAIL. Will Serve Three Months for Contempt of Court at Sligo. London, July 30.—Patrick A. McHugh, Nationalist member of Parliament for the North division of Leitrim, left the House of Commons tonight, accompanied by the governor of the Sligo jail, in which place Mr. McHugh is to serve a sentence of three months' imprisonment. Mr. McHugh was arrested on June 15 on a bench warrant issued by the special court assembled at Sligo under the crimes act, charging him with contempt of court. In the course of Mr. McHugh's trial in April, 1901, when he was accused of publishing seditions libels in his newspaper, the Sligo Champion, it is charged that he called the presiding magistrate a "d—d liar" and that he refused to apologize. WATCHMAN WENT TO SLEEP. Meanwhile Building is Set on Fire and One is Burned to Death. Des Moines, Ia., July 30.—Firemen early today found one man dead and another dying in the Stoner Wall Paper Company's building in South Des Moines while trying to put out a fire which destroyed $50,000 worth of property. The dead man's name is David Watt, night watchman for the company. The dying man's name is I. P. Miller, night guard for the Long Shore mill. It is believed that the two men secured a quantity of liquor, repaired to the office of the wall paper company and after drinking the liquor, went to sleep. In some manner the building was set on fire and before the firemen could reach the factory the flames had gained such headway that it was impossible to save much of the stock and machinery. KUBELIK HELD CAPTIVE Manager will Not Allow Violinist to Visit His Mother. Vienna, July 30.—Wenzel Kubelik, brother of Jan Kubelik,, the violinist, has written to the Pestor Lloyd a long letter complaining of the way the impresario Skivan has exploited his brother. He charges that Skirvan has lost the greater part of his brother's earnings through speculations, thus seriously injuring the artist's nervous system. By every possible means Jan is prevented from coming under the salutary influence of his friends. He is not allowed to visit his mother, the pretext given being that a great artist like Jan must not share even and hour with his mother in her habitation. VESSELS ARE WRECKED Gulf of California Visited by a Tornado. ARE DASHED ON SHORE. Tucson, Ariz., July 29.—A tornado visited the gulf of California on Thursday night, wrecking vessels and damaging many buildings in the coast cities. The wires have been down and news of the disaster has just been received. At Guaymas five vessels in the bay were dashed ashore and later sunk. Two of them, El Luella and El Gravina, were large steamers engaged in coastwise trade. The pubile building containing the offices of the harbormaster and collector of customs was detroyed. The residence of the English vice-consul was unroofed and otherwise wrecked. The streets of Guaymas in many places were strewn with fallen trees and wreckage. At Mazatlan the Pomoroy Ruby, a large passenger steamer, was driven ashore and sunk. Five passengers were drowned and the rest reached the shore on wreckage and driftwood. Another large vessel in the bay was also damaged by the tornado. Between Guaymas and Mazatlan a great deal of wreckage drifted ashore and it is supposed that many small vessels were wrecked and a large number of lives lost. EARTHQUAKES IN WEST. Strange Rumbling Sound Drives People from Their Homes. Omaha, Neb., July 29.—Cities and towns of Nebraska, Western Iowa and South Dakota experienced yesterday the terrors that come with an earthquake. With a strange rumbling sound the surface of the earth shook and buildings rocked, while dishes rattled on shelves or tables and the people in some cases fled from their homes to escape death under walls they felt certain were going toumble. Reports show that the earthquake was severest at Tilden, Elgin, Norfolk, Pierce, Plainview, Creighton, O'Neill, Petersburg, Oakdale, Battle Creek and Santee agency, Neb.; Yankton, Elk Point, Vermillion and Gayville, S. D. By the side of the Missouri river near Lonia, Neb., is a smoking crater known for years as a volcano. Shortly after the volcanic disturbances in the West Indies this volcano showed signs of violent eruption. Causes Alarm in Yankton. Reports from Yankton say the earthquake shock occurred at 12:45 o'clock and lasted 12 seconds. It was accompanied by rumbling noises and caused considerable fright. A dispatch from Santee agency, Nebraska, says a distinct earthquake shock was felt there at 12:40 o'clock. The shock seemed to move from west to east. In some homes the dishes rattled. A telephone report said that Battle Creek had been badly damaged by the earthquake. The report came from Norfolk, but Battle Creek later reported that beyond the shaking of houses, rattlign of dishes and the fright of inhabitants no damage had been done. At Tilden the first shock was the heaviest, lasting 15 seconds. The second shock was experienced in slightly over 2 minutes afterward and was but a slight quivering of the earth. The people were thrown into a panic by the first shock, and when the second began they fled in terror. PACIFIC COAST SHAKEN. Fifteen Distinct Shocks Experienced in Southern California. Santa Barbara, Cal., July 29.—What is regarded as the most severe earthquake ever felt in Southern California caused much damage Sunday night in Northern Santa Barbara county. The shocks lasted for fifteen minutes, and the district most affected was from Lompoc to Santa Maria. The most curious result was the filling of a dry stream bed with water. The first shock was felt a few minutes past 11 o'clock, the vibrations continuing for several minutes. Shortly after there were fourteen distinct shocks, but none as severe as the first. Nearly fifteen minutes elapsed between the first and final shocks. In the Careaga oil fields large fissures were cut in the earth. Two tanks containing 3000 barrels of oil each were wrecked and oil flooded the section. Nearly all the surface pipe lines used for conveying oil and water several miles were twisted or so broken that renewal will be necessary. None of the wells over 2000 feet deep was affected. At Los Alamos adobe buildings were thrown to the ground, while in the business places windows were broken and goods on the shelves thrown to the floor. Lomoroc, several miles to the Southwest, fared badly. The city is practically without water supply, as the mains were broken and the water has been flooding low levels. The Santa Ynez river, which in the summer is a small stream but in winter a torrent, was comparatively dry Sunday. Today water is rushing over the river bed as in a freshet. No one will attempt to explain this remarkable phenomenon, and the presence of such a large volume of water at this time is considered part compensation for the great damage. Over 100 years ago Franciscan fathers undertook to establish a mission at Lompoc. The large building was nearly completed after several years of hard work when an earthquake visited the district and utterly destroyed the edifice. Further attempts to build a structure at that point were abandoned. From several of the sparsely settled districts reports are received in this city that the damage done was great to buildings of every description. Only a slight shock was felt in Santa Barbara. YAQUIS OVERWHELMED Remnant of Hostile Band Which Took to Warpath Some Time Ago. San Francisco, Cal., July 29.—A special from Tucson, Ariz., says: Driven to desperation by hunger and thirst, a band of thirty Yaquis, nearly half of them women, swooped down upon the Carmen ranch near Hermesillo Saturday and a fierce fight followed. When a patrol of Mexican troops galloped down to the rescue two of the women and five of the men lay dead. The Yaquis were completely overwhelmed. These Indians are supposed to be the last remnant of those who took to the warpath some time ago. Shot by His Stepson. Memphis, Tenn., July 29.—A Simitax special from Piggott, Ark., says: "H. L. Hinkley was called out of his house at Crockett and shot dead yesterday by Edgar Williams, his stepson. Williams has not been arrested." EMPEROR'S GIFTS.

A., and several members of his staff; former Secretary of the Navy John D. Long and Gen. H. V. Boynton. GREAT FIRE AT LOURDES. An Entire Block of Buildings Destroyed and a Number of People Paris, July 30.—A dispatch to the Temps from Tarbes gives news of a terrible fire at Lourdes, the town famous for its shrine to Our Lady, to which many pilgrims go. The fire brigade was unable to check the flames and when the dispatch was sent an entire block of houses had been destroyed and a number of persons had been victims of the fire. Place Tendered to Marquette's Editor and Mavor. Marquette, Mich., July 30.—James Russell, editor of the Mining Journal and mayor of this city, has been offered the position of warden of the branch penitentiary located near here, and it is believed he will accept, taking charge of the institution October 1. There has been much trouble at the prison, growing out of friction between Deputy Warden Mosher, who was removed, and Warden Freeman, who subsequently resigned. Mr. Russell was state commissioner of mineral statistics and has been postmaster at Marquette. UNDER WA_ER 02 SECONDS. David Poquette Easily Wins a Wager at Menominee, Mich. Menominee, Mich., July 30.—[Special.] David Poquette, a well-known "boom" man on the Menominee river, won a bet that he could not stay under water for more than a minute. Watches were held by interested spectators and Poquette was beneath the surface of the river exactly ninety-two seconds, coming up fresh and with strength enough to swim to the boom, some distance away. THEIR BOAT CAPSIZED. Two Young Ladies Precipitated Into the Water—Both Drowned. Monticello, Minn., July 30.—Miss Mabel Wells of this place and Eva Sasker and Laura Tye, both of Farihault, all young ladies, were drowned in Lake Jefferson, Le Seuer county, last evening. Their boat capsized during a storm. Profs. Bingham and Hanson of Minneapolis were with them, but could not save them. One Killed and Several Injured at Escanaba, Mich. Escanaba, Mich., July 29.—[Special.] —This morning at 5:30 o'clock the fast mail on the Chicago & North-Western railway, with two engines attached, ran into a freight train in the yards in this city. One man was instantly killed, two were badly injured and several of the passengers and crew were shaken up and sustained bad injuries. The dead: M'KENNA, JOHN—Home at Escanaba; engineer on passenger train; jumped and was instantly killed; survived by his wife and two sons and one daughter, all grown. The injured: Thomas Greene, Escanaba, engineer; shoulder dislocated. Steve Lyon, fireman, Escanaba; shoulder Steve Lyon, nieman, Escanaba; shoulder dislocated. Couldn't Stop Train. The passenger train was running at the rate of fifty miles an hour when the accident occurred. The freight was standing on the main track and the engineer on the front locomotive of the passenger train was unable to stop the train, although signaled to do so. It is said that the airbrakes were not connected with the engine. The head locomotive had been sent to Narenta to help the regular engine of the passenger train, which had been disabled. The relief engine hitched up to the train but it is said that the crew neglected to attach the airbrakes. Switch Left Open. The train dashed into this city at a fifty-mile-an-hour gait, and it was impossible for the engineer to bring the train to a sudden stop. Someone had left the switch into the yard open and the train dashed onto the track on which the freight train was standing. In a moment a signal was given to the engineer to stop but he was powerless and the big train dashed on, crashing into the locomotive. Jumped for His Life. Engineer McKenna saw that it was impossible for him to save his train and so, shouting to his fireman to make his escape, he jumped. He struck a switch and was instantly killed. The crew of the freight train were able to escape with but slight injuries and the passengers were more frightened than hurt. John McKenna, the killed engineer, was one of the veteran employees of the North-Western road and expected to retire from service this fall. Mrs. W. R. Smith of this city, who with her husband is spending a few weeks at Atlantic City, is his daughter. Due to a Misunderstanding. A misunderstanding of trainmen caused the wreck. The brakeman supposed the air to be controlled by the second engine and did not connect the air between the first and second engines. Engineer McKanna on the first engine thought the connection made and Engineer Greene on the second engine cut out his air thinking the conection made with the first engine. Railroad rules are that the first engine controls the air. Had the freight not been on the track loading, the passenger train would have run through the roundhouse and several people would probably have been killed. Wreck on Milwaukee Road. La Crosse, Wis., July 29.—A Milwaukee fast freight and a loaded gravel train going at high speed crashed together head on north of River Junction, across the Mississippi, last night. Wrecking trains have been sent to the scene. Both engines were crushed to masses of twisted iron and cars were thrown fifty feet. Engineer Emerson and Fireman Knapen of the freight escaped death by jumping. No one was killed or injured. All traffic north was blocked by wreckage. FUNERAL IN LONDON. Requiem Mass for Repose of Soul of Late J. W. Mackay—Widow Still Prostrated. London, July 29.—Many American and English friends of the family were present today at a requiem mass said in St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Cadogan square, for the repose of the soul of John W. Mackay. The members of the family present were Clarence Mackay, the Princess Colonna, with her young son, and the daughter and two sons of the Countess Telfner. Mrs. Mackay, who is still prostrated, remained at home with her mother, Mrs. Hungerford. The Countess Telfner is quite ill at the Walsinham hotel. Mr. Mackay's body was taken last evening to Nottinghill convent, where it will remain until taken to America in September or October, when Mrs. Mackay will accompany it. Today's service was confined to the celebration of the mass for the dead. The floral decorations for the chancel consisted chiefly of large bunches of lilies of the valley. TREASON TRIAL ENDS Evidence that Col. Lynch Acted as Public Prosecutor in Trial of British Spies. London, July 29.—The case of the government against Col. Arthur Lynch, who was elected to represent Galway City in the House of Commons and who was accused of high treason, ended in police court today and Lynch was remanded to give his counsel opportunity to review the evidence. Among the last witnesses called to identify Col. Lynch were Geo. Grieg, an American who was caretaker of a mine near Johannesburg, and another American named Worthington. Both these witnesses testified that they were arrested by Boers near Vereeniging, charged with being British spies, and that Col. Lynch acted as public prosecutor at their trial. NO MOI F WOMEN ON B. & O. President Loree Thinks They are Not Fitted for Railroad Business. New York, July 29.—President L. F. Loree of the Baltimore & Ohio has issued orders that no more women stenographers be employed in the operating departments of that road. The women now in the company's service are not to be discharged, but President Loree desires that hereafter only men shall be trained in the operating departments. He believes in promotions and wants all leks to fit themselves for higher places. Women, he thinks, are not competent to grasp the railroad business in the way that men do. London, July 29.—Colonial Secretary Chamberlain appeared in the House of Commons this afternoon for the first time since his recent accident. He was greeted with hearty cheering and later he was warmly congratulated by Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, Liberal leader in the House. Sir Henry Campbell-Hannerman supplemented his congratulations by asking for information of the colonial conference. He expressed the hope that lenient treatment would be extended to the Boers in South Africa: Mr. Chamberlain replied that Lord Milner, the high commissioner, had telegraphed spontaneously that he did not think further legislation necessary to make the banishment proclamation effective. The government would refuse to allow the return of persons who showed themselves inimical to good order and peace. "We are not going to allow the result of the war to be undermined," said Mr. Chamberlain, "by intrigues carried on by nominally constitutional means. Regarding the future status of South Africa the colonial secretary said the imperial government had established a crown colony in the strictest sense. The next step would be to add a nominated official element. Thereafter there would be an elected official element and then nothing but circumstances and time would separate the new colonies from full self-government. All must understand, however, that the government would not be rushed nor hustled into any action which circumstances did not warrant. There remained many questions to be dealt with; a new tariff must be arranged, and the taxation of mines be settled, but he wished to say that nothing would be done to punish owners of mines as had been suggested in many quarters. The government would do nothing to interfere with a quick revival of development of the country. Subject to that consideration, Mr. Chamberlain continued, no man was more anxious than he to recover some considerable part of the cost of the war from South Africa. He thought it would be perfectly fair to lay a fair part of the cost of the war on the principal industry of the Transvaal, but what amount it was too soon to say. Burgher and Briton Shake Hands. Mr. Chamberlain dealt comprehensively with the past and future of South Africa. "We have no intention," he declared, "that the Boers should break with their old traditions. We desire that they should preserve all the best characteristics of their race and hope they will shake hands with us, thus securing prosperity in South Africa under the flag which protects different races and different religions." Dealing with the much discussed labor question, Mr. Chamberlain said he believed every inducement to labor should be held out to the blacks, but no scheme of compulsory labor would receive the slightest government support. There was no intention of packing the country with Britishers, but so much Transvaal land was lying idle that the colonies could only be made a great com-producing factor by bringing in British settlers. TAKES HIS OWN LIFE. Prominent Chicago Merchant Driven to Suicide by Ill Health and Business Troubles. Chicago, Ill., July 29.—Abram M. Rothschild, until recently head of the big State street store which bears his name, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a revolver yesterday afternoon. Mr. Rothschild's act is attributed to an attack of temporary insanity brought on by acute insomnia, from which he had been a sufferer for a long time. Business affairs also, it is said, added to his mental depression. The retirement of Mr. Rothschild from the company, after serving seven years as its head, was the cause for stories that he had come to serious differences with his father-in-law, Nelson Morris, who owned a large interest in the establishment. Another thing which it is said caused Mr. Rothschild much trouble was the fire in the store on September 19, 1901, with the fall of a big water tank from the roof to the bottom and the destruction of a part of the stock by water. The insurance companies refused to pay for the damage, and the firm brought suit against sixty-eight companies for an aggregate sum of $250,000. This started an investigation, and the underwriters made the statement that the accident was caused by repairs being made to the building for which a permit had not been taken out at the city building department. This is said to have widened the breach between Mr. Morris and Mr. Rothschild, and resulted in the retirement of the latter. DELGADO UNDER ARREST Prominent Cuban Officer Charged with Assassination — Sensational Trial Promised. Havana, July 29.—Gen. Perico Delgado is under arrest, charged with having assassinated Antonio Acosta, a nephew of Col. Baldomero Acosta. The arrest has caused a profound sensation, as Gen. Delgado is one of the best known Cubans. He commanded the Cuban sharpshooters who operated against Weyler's black Spanish guerillas in the late revolution. He is now an officer of the Cuban rural guard. Gen. Delgado's trial promises to be sensational, as there has been much mystery surrounding the disappearance of young Acosta from his home six weeks ago. It is said that Col. Acosta, the young man's uncle, obtained private information that his nephew was seized by guards under Delgado's direction and afterward was seen taken from the police station at night, handcuffed and between two of Delgado's men. Thunderstorm Headaches. There is no doubt that the unfavorable effects on the feeling of well-being experienced by many individuals, such as headache and oppression and nervous distress on the advent of a thunderstorm are due to the same electrical differences of potential, the effects passing away as the disturbed condition of the atmosphere or the storm subsides.—London Lancet. The Sea Birds' Cry. The beauty of the sea birds' cry is one entirely of suggestion; its appeal is through the imagination, not the senses. Speaking in human terms, it occupies musical ground ignored by Mozart, appropriated by Wagner. And its suggestions are of desolate seas and savage shores; of an eager, maybe joyous life; but of one, unlike that of the woodland songster, entirely alien from and indifferent to our own.—The Outlook. Lady Warwick has a peacock which is said to be 100 years old. RAIN ON THE ROOF. When the humid darkness gathers Over all the starry spheres. Flows and falls like sorrows softly Breaking into happy tears. Then how sweet to press the pillow Of a cottage chamber bed. And lie listening to the raindrops On the low roof overhead. To the quick beats on the shingles Answer echoes in the heart: And dim, dreary recollections Into form and being start, And the busy fairy, Fancy, Weaves her air-threads, warp and woof, As I listen to the patter Of the light rain on the roof. Now in memory comes my mother, As she used, far summers gone, Taking leave of little faces That her loving look shone on; And I feel that fond look on me As I feel the old refrain Here repeated on the shingles By the patter of the rain. Then my little seraph-sister, With the wings and waving hair, And her star-eyed cherub-brother— A serene, angelic pair— Glide around my wakeful pillow With sweet praise or mild reproof, As I shut my eyes and listen To the soft rain on the roof. And another comes to thrill me With her eyes bewitching blue, And I mind not, musing on her, That my heart she never knew; I remember but to love her With a passion kin to pain, And my quickened pulses quiver To the patter of the rain. Art hath naught of tone or cadence, Naught of music's magic spell, That can thrill the secret fountain Whence the tears of rapture swell Like the weird nocturne of Nature, That subdued, subduing strain Which is played upon the shingles By the patter of the rain. THE BEST OF THE LOT. They were sensible, hard-working girls, were the Thurlows, and every one liked and admired them. The two elder ones made quite nice little sums of pocket money by their poultry and vegetables, which they drove into the market themselves and sold right well, for their things were always of the best and found a ready sale. It was a brilliant June morning and the pony was waiting with the little cart at the door, stamping his little feet with impatience, for it was Monday, and "Jan" was fresh from his stable. "Angela," cried a fresh young voice, "hurry up. Jan is at the door and the baskets are in. Do make haste; we shall be dreadfully late." "I'm coming. Oh, wait a moment, Rita; I must take some of those pink roses from the south wall. I'm sure they'd sell." It was just 8 o'clock, and a lovely day. Overhead hung a cloudless blue sky, but it was no bluer than the azure depths of Angela's eyes, and the sunlight was scarce brighter than her glorious hair, which coiled round her head in masses of warm color. She was known as the "best of the lot," and she certainly deserved that position in the family looks on this glorious morning, as she came round breathlessly from the south wall, where she had been gathering a large handful of delicious pink roses, all wet with dew. "Now, then, my, good Rita, as hard as you and Jan like," said Angela gaily, as she got into the cart. And, with a flick of the whip across his shaggy shoulders, away went Jan down the narrow avenue, out into the lane which led into the highroad to the town, four miles distant. Pats of yellow butter set out on a neighboring table, which was presided over by a fat farmer's wife, made a delicious contrast to the piles of vegetables, baskets of brown eggs and the loose bunch of pink roses which the girls speedily set out in their turn; and there was no lack of customers as the morning went on. Strangers glanced curiously at the lovely face of the girl in the blue cotton gown and the sunbonnet, which half concealed her loveliness, and presently a carriage which was passing stopped and two people—a man and a lady—got out and came slowly into the market. They were strangers to the Thurlows. Possibly they were staying in the neighborhood, which was famous for its scenery and its natural sporting advantages. But they had no time to waste in staring idly at passersby, for they were besieged by customers, and soon their pile of produce had nearly vanished—all but the pink roses and a few eggs. "Miss Rita, my dear," whispered the fat woman at the next stall, hurriedly, "will you look after my things while I run out to speak to my daughter for a minute? She passed by, and I must see her at once." "Of course, Mrs. Radley," said Angela; "and I'll have sold all you've got by the time you come back!" "Thank you kindly, Miss Angela, dear!" And Mrs. Radley hurried off, while Angela took the vacant seat at the stall. It was getting hot, and she leant back against the wall with a feeling of drowsiness, when she was roused by a voice, saying: "By Jove! there's a pretty girl! I say, Maude—" She glanced in the direction of the voice, and saw the two strangers she had noticed getting out of the carriage. They were coming toward her, and her eyes met those of the man, who was looking at her with frank admiration in his handsome face. "My dear Geoff, do be careful!" said the lady, with a laugh; and then she advanced to the stall where, as a rule, the worthy Mrs. Radley presided over the destinies of her butter and chickens. "Is this Mrs. Radley's stall?" she "Is this Mrs. Radley's stall?" she asked, with a surprised glance at the girl, who rose from her seat. "Yes, ma'am," said Angela, with the demurest air. "She has just gone out of the market for a moment, but I am looking after the things for her. What can I serve you with, ma'am?" The man was still looking at her, but Angela took not the faintest notice of him. "A dozen eggs, please," said the lady, getting out her purse, and looking about her; "and—— Oh, what lovely roses those are on the next stall! Are those yours?" "Yes, ma'am," said Angela with alacrity. "Will you take some! They are quite fresh this morning." "Give me half the bunch, will you, please? How much? That is right, I think. Perhaps you could bring them out to the carriage for me?" "Let me take them, Maude," said the man stepping forward. "There is no need to trouble anyone to carry your parcels when I am here. Is that all?" "Yes. You look rather absurd with that basket of eggs and the roses, Geoff; but have your own way. Good morning." The man cast a glance at Angela and lifted his hat, as he followed the lady from the stall; and Angela withdrew to her seat with a mischievous smile curving her red lips. Of course, he thought she was a farmer's daughter or something of that sort, and she laughed to herself at the recollection. He was such a nice looking, soldierly man, too; and she wondered who he was, and where he came from, with that frank interest in the doings of the world in general which was part and parcel of her quiet home life. "Rita," she said, "I wonder who those THE MUSEUM OF THE WESTERN WORLD All over the Union the announced engagement of Rt. Rev.

All over the Union the announced engagement of Rt. Rev. Bishop Henry Codman Potter of New York and Mrs. Alfred Corning Clark is an absorbing topic of conversation. Bishop Potter is the best known and most popular clergyman in America. His prominence in civic matters as well as high standing as a theologian has earned him a national and international fame. His bride-to-be is one of New York's richest women. She is the widow of the millionaire who controlled the Singer Sewing Machine Company, and is reputed to be worth over $30,000,000. She is known far and wide for her charity and it was probably this noble quality which attracted the bishop.

Didn't I play my part well? HISTORIC CATALPA. "I should like the rest of those roses you have, if they are not sold," said a voice; and Angela turned swiftly, to find the good looking man beside her. He was looking at her with a queer smile, and she reflected that he might have heard her remark. "Certainly, sir," she said, remembering her role. "Thanks very much. Good morning!" "Why, he has given me too much. This is half a sovereign!" cried Angela in dismay, as the man disappeared. "Look Rita! What shall I do?" "My dear, what can you do, unless Mrs. Radley can tell you who the people are? The carriage has gone." It was late in September when Tom Thurlow, the eldest son, who was just home from the war, arrived home on leave. He had announced in his letter that he was bringing with him one of his friends, a man who had done awfully well at Ladysmith, and who was, according to Tom, no end of a good fellow. This caused quite a flutter of interest in the Thurlow establishment, and great were the preparations made for the reception of Tom and his friend, a certain Capt. Lawier. It was late when they arrived, and Angela was out feeding her poultry. "Where's Angela?" asked Tom, when all the first greetings were over, and Captain Lawler had been introduced to his friend's good-looking family. "Grubbing in that blessed garden, I suppose? The girl is gardening and poultry-rearing mad! By the way, Lawler tells me he has been in these parts before—said he saw the prettiest girl he had ever met in the market. Funny place to come across her, eh?" Rita almost jumped from her seat. She had thought there was something familiar about the stranger's face, and now it suddenly flashed across her. He was the man to whom Angela had sold her pink roses for half a sovereign! At that moment the door opened and Angela came in. Tom always declares that both she and Geoffrey Lawler looked as if they had been suddenly struck motionless images, but that may be taken as a slight exaggeration of the affair. "Well, I'm blessed!" said Tom. "You two don't need an introduction, evidently; and, since you both seem to have so much to say, you'd better get it over. I shall be in the stables when you want me. Come on, Rita." And as the others vanished, and Geoffrey Lawler found himself alone with the "best of the lot," his tongue was suddenly unloosed, and he spoke. They were still talking an hour later; and Tom Thurlow was very eoquent on the subject when he came back from a wrathful tour of the stables, and found the two of them still talking, as he expressed it. Geoffrey Lawler and Angela are likely to talk for ever and a day, for he declared that Fate had brought them together in such a wonderful manner that it would be ungrateful, to say the least of it, to allow themselves to part again. And Angela quite agrees with him. She always does.—New York Daily News. Sheep Eat Bottle Trees During the prolonged drought that has devastated large areas of Queensland, a few squatters have been able to save a remnant of their flocks and herds by feeding them on bottle trees. The scientific name of this tree is sterculia, but its popular name gives an idea of its shape. It is like a soda water, bottle, magnified to a height of four or five feet. The bulbous part contains a mucilaginous substance, which is wholesome and nutritious to those who have acquired its taste. It was pathetic to see the thirsty sheep gather around a bottle tree, pick up the chips, chew them and extract all possible moisture.—Chicago News. ```markdown ``` engagement of Rt. Rev.

Tree in London Brought by Raleigh from Virginia. Probably not one in fifty of the folk from the United States who visit London every year and go on their way, rejoicing in the thought that they have done the metropolis thoroughly, sees a relic that to Americans ought to be one of the most interesting here—an old catalpa tree that Sir Walter Raleigh brought from Virginia and that Sir Francis Bacon planted in Gray's Inn Gardens. That American travelers miss the historic tree is no reflection on their sightseeing industry. Even Baedeker seems to have overlooked it, and probably few people in London, outside the officials of Gray's Inn, know its history. That history is unusually interesting, however. When Sir Walter Raleigh brought the tree to England, his idea was to have his good friend and patron, Queen Elizabeth, plant it in Gray's Inn Gardens, then a favorable strolling place with the fashionable folk. It was fully understood that the Queen would do so, but just before the time came her majesty was taken ill, and she deputed Bacon—who, according to Mr. Gallup's cypher, was Elizabeth's son—to take her place. Gray's Inn, for centuries devoted to law and lawyers, got its name from having belonged to the Lords Gray as far back as the 1300s. It first got to be a law school in 1371, when the Elizabethan hall, which contains some of the finest oak carvings in England, was built. Here Queen Elizabeth came often, and here Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors" was first given in 1594, and, doubtless seen by Bacon, who began to study law at Gray's Inn in 1576. Other famous figures of the old Gray's Inn were Thomas Cromwell and Lord Burleigh. The gardens, where once the gallants and grandes dames of the town used to foregather, and where Raleigh's tree was planted, still remain, almost as they were; but now there is a high iron fence around them, the public is not admitted and the jaded folk who pass through shabby Gray's Inn road look longingly in at the grass and the old trees. Oldest of all these, oldest some say, of all the trees in England, is the veteran catalpa that came from "Virginy." In fact, it is so old now that it has rotted a good deal, and has to be kept in its place by means of braces. The consequential rooks, which still live in the garden, esteem the tree greatly as a perching place. In fact, they have made it such a permanent headquarters that a barrel filled with drinking water for them has been set just beside the catalpa. This barrel stands just on the spot where Sir Francis Bacon had a bench placed for his own enjoyment. The seat remained there for years after the philosopher's death, until one night, when it disappeared, and thereafter could never be traced. Perhaps the ghost of Shakespeare stole it.—Providence Journal. How "Poll" Learns to Talk "There are two ways," said a bird dealer, "of teaching a parrot to talk. 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 acquire. A clever parrot will learn a word or a phrase after some four or five hundred 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, have your voice monotonously repeating the phrase to be acquired, must reach the parrot's ear. Some people teach their birds in a well-lighted room, speaking from a place of concealment in a closet or behind a door. This method is not so good, because in the light the parrot's attention is distracted."—Philadelphia Ledger. Bristol, England, has municipalized its docks and harbors at a cost of between $10,000,000 and $15,000,000. PANTHER AT A PICNIC. ESCAPED FROM CAGE. Shipped from Mexico to New York in Pine Box, Slats of Which Are Easily Gnawed to Pieces. New York, July 28.—After gnawing its way out of a wooden box in the zoological garden in Bronx park, a young panther just arrived from Mexico walked up to a picnic party of women and children, and, astonished by their panic, jumped over their heads into a tree and has since led keepers and other hunters a weary chase through the Bronx park jungle. The panther is a fine specimen, 18 inches high at the shoulders, 5 feet long, and he weighs 45 pounds. He was shipped from Mexico in a pine box with slats. To render the possibility of its escape more difficult the panther was chained to the inside of the crate, a heavy collar being fastened about his neck to which the end of the chain was tied. When the crate arrived at the park it was deposited near the reptile house pending the establishment of its occupant in regular quarters. Crate Left Unguarded. The keeper, having removed one of the slats and unfastened the animal's collar, left the crate unguarded for a time. The panther lost no time in attacking with teeth and claws the soft slats which stood between him and liberty. The park was well filled with sightseers when the animal escaped. Cunningly avoiding the open walks by keeping close to the bush wood, which in places is very dense, he succeeded in escaping from the Zoological reservation and passed into a densely wooded portion of the park. Then the scape was discovered. Six keepers with shotguns and nets started out to capture the fugitive with directions to shoot only if it appeared necessary. Through the heavy brush the little posse made its way northward, but four hours passed before any trace was found. Helps Himself to Lunch. About a mile north of the museum a party of thirty children out picnicking saw the panther emerge from a thicket. It ran toward them and they fled. On one occasion he wandered up to a table-cloth upon which a luncheon had been spread and quickly devoured the meal. Sightseers made their way from the park, but only fleeting glimpses of the animal were obtained, although the hunt was kept up until night. The park authorities say the panther is not vicious and that it probably will be shot by someone living near the scene. WHIPS THEM ALL. California Desperado Shoots Five Men and Escapes Into the Country Fresno, Cal., July 28.—At Porterville James McKinney, an ex-convict, shot five men and escaped into the country in a stolen rig. McKinney first shot out the lights of a saloon and tried to shoot the cards out of the hands of a player, wounding the latter slightly. He then went to a livery stable and at the point of a revolver secured a rig. As he was driving off a deputy and several citizens tried to arrest McKinney. He opened fire, wounding four of the party and escaped. Officers from surrounding counties have been notified and a sharp lookout is being kept. Two years ago McKinney killed a man at Bakersfield but was exonerated. He has served a term in the state prison. William Lynn, a gambler, whose abdomen and legs were filled with buckshot, has succumbed to his wounds. McKinney also filled the right arm of George Barrows, a printer, with shot and sent a bullet into the mouth of Deputy Marshal Willis, another into the arm of Deputy Constable Tompkins and a load of shot into the arm of W. D. West. Before leaving, McKinney awakened Dave Moshi and said to him: "I've got into a fight. They came after me but I whipped them all. I killed three or four of them. They have not treated me right. I'll die game. You talk about Tracy. He won't be in it with me." There was blood on one of his legs and it is believed he was wounded. He is headed for Fresno county and it is supposed he will make for the mountains. He has a shotgun, a rifle and a revolver. FIRMIN TROOPS REPULSED. Aspirant for Presidency of Hayti Receives a Setback—Gunboat Prevents a Pursuit. Port au Prince, Hayti, July 23.—The army under Gen. Jean Jumeau, who supports the candidacy of M. Firmin for the Presidency of Hayti, has been repulsed by troops under the command of Gen. Saint-Foix Colin. The gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot prevented a pursuit of the Jumeau forces and Gen. Colin's troops returned to Port au Prince. Cape Haytien, Hayti, July 28.—Gen. Albert Salnavo entered Limba yesterday afternoon and this morning he was within nine miles of this city after having defeated the troops under Gen. Nord, the minister of war of the provisional government. The capitulation of Grande Riviere is expected and Cape Haytien probably will be attacked this evening or tomorrow morning. Foreigners are without protection and are in danger. The United States gunboat Machias, which was ordered to proceed from Colon to this port, has not arrived. Much regret is expressed that no foreign power is represented here by a warship at such a critical moment. BOERS LISTEN TO GENERALS. Botha and Delarey Ask Followers to Preserve Nationality. Cape Town, July 27.—Gens. Botha and Delarey, the ex-Boer leaders, in their speeches to their compatriots here, have insisted upon the preservation of their nationality. Gen. Botha declared that darkness was in front of them, but said that faith would carry them through. Africa, he added, was their fatherland, their birthright, and inheritance. Gen. Delarey said he respected his British opponents, but grieved when he thought of the burghers who surrendered and became national scouts under the British. The conduct of the Boer women throughout the bitter struggle had made the fighting burghers taste many sweet drops. Mine Explosion Kills Two. McCurtain, I. T., July 28.-Two men were killed and two others seriously burned by an explosion of gas today in one of the Saus Bois Coal Company's mines, one mile west of here. NO LUNCH CAMPS Federal Judge Keller at Charleston, W. Va., Issues a Writ of Injunction. Charleston, W. Va., July 29.—An injunction against lunch camps is the latest decree by a United States court in labor disputes. Such an injunction was issued by Federal Judge B. F. Keller in Charleston. It restrains friends of union labor from supplying food or other supplies to the striking coal miners in West Virginia, even though they be starving. Violation of this injunction is punishable by jail sentences for contempt of court and by fines. Ordered to Stop Feeding Strikers. The Gauley Mountain Coal Company's representatives appeared before Judge Keller and made accusations against labor leaders who were supplying the strikers at the Gauley mines with food and were purchasing and distributing other supplies. Judge Keller took action during the day to show that he will not excuse any violation of the orders of his court. By request of United States District Attorney Atkinson he issued warrants for the arrest of fifteen persons on changes of violating the injunction issued some time ago by him to protect the property in the Flat Top coal field, along the Norfolk & Western railroad. The injunction is designed not only to prevent interference with company work, but also to prevent assemblies of the striking miners. Wilson will Ignore It. Indianapolis, Ind., July 29.—Secretary Wilson of the United Mine Workers of America, when shown the dispatch announcing Federal Judge Keller's injunction, said: "So far as I am concerned, if such an injunction has been issued, I want to say that any order of any court which prohibits me from feeding hungry men when I have the money to relieve their needs will not be heeded. We are caring for our men in the West Virginia district to the best of our ability, and I for one will continue to give them what assistance they need. "If the operators hope to make us give up the work of supplying our men by resorting to the method of securing injunctions against us they will be disappointed." Tour of the Strike Region. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 29.—President Mitchell is expected to begin his tour of the strike region tomorrow. He will first go to the Schuylkill district, where disturbances occurred yesterday, and deliver addresses at many places. It was given out at headquarters today that the $50,000 relief fund which was sent to District No. 1 is already exhausted. President Mitchell denied a report today that no more money would be received until August 15. He said funds would be received from outside organizations right along, but that the assessments levied on the miners would be some time in reaching here as the pay days in the bituminous regions do not begin until next week. Another big batch of Polish and Slavish miners left the Wyoming region today for Western Pennsylvania and Ohio. Government Would Interfere. Omaha, Neb., July 29.—Samuel Grace of the Machinists' Union has received from the United States immigration bureau information that any attempt to import men from foreign countries to take the places of striking shopmen on railroads of the country would receive the immediate attention of the government. Mr. Grace claims to have received information that the Union Pacific Railroad was preparing to import men from England and Scotland to take strikers' places in the shops of its system. Secretary Grace at once communicated with the bureau of immigration at Washington and received a reply from Frank P. Sargent, now a member of that bureau, in which he states that the bureau will take steps to prevent such importations. At the labor temple it was given out early today that twenty-five men had quit work in the local shops because of the piecework system and that grievance meetings are being held by the nonunion men now at work, who they claim are already dissatisfied. THEIR ONLY HOME. Gen. Botha Urges Boers to Accept Situation and Stop Bothering About Politics. Cape Town, July 29.—Gens. Delarey and Botha were given on ovation yesterday at Shellenbosch. They were driven to the town hall and each of the two carriages was drawn by sixty students. At a luncheon which followed the students acted as waiters. Gen. Botha in a feeling address said the day of surrender was the most painful of his life, but now that it had been done he prayed earnestly that his hearers should consider it God's will. Although Afrikander nationality, in a manner had been buried, it would remain the most important factor in the social life of South Africa. Gen. Botha paid a tribute to former President Steyn's abilities as a statesman. "Now let us stop bothering ourselves about politics," said the general, "and try to make ourselves happy in South Africa because we have no home elsewhere." SUPPLY RUNNING SHORT. Anthracite Coal will be Used Up by September 15 at Present Rate of Consumption. Philadelphia, Pa., July 29.-It is stated on reliable authority that the supply of anthracite coal in the hands of railroads and dealers here will be at the present rate of consumption probably exhausted by the middle of September. The report that the railroads are turning over to the retailers supplies they have been holding in reserve since the inauguration of the strike is said not to be true. In only one important case, it was stated, that of the Pennsylvania railroad, have any of the roads released the coal seized by them in May, all of the others retaining what they have for their own purposes. In the case of the Pennsylvania, that road had not such need for what little it had retained, as it could use its soft coal. This was the reason it turned a quantity of anthracite over to some of its trade the past week. PURSUED BY LYNCHERS. Posse of 100 Men After a Negro Accused of Murder. Washington, D. C., July 29.—Charles Travan, a negro suspected of the murder of W. H. Wilson at Herndon, W. Va., yesterday, is being pursued over the Virginia Hills by over 100 men and a pursuing may follow his capture. Craun is reported to have crossed today the crescentburg and Georgetown turnpike near transeville and to be making for the otomac river. Bloodhounds may be put in the trail tomorrow. —Charles Murphy, aged 2 years, was probably fatally injured by being run down by an electric car. If he lives he will be a cripple. —Four men and a woman charged with being railroad ticket forgers, were captured by the police. Operations of the gang are said to have netted them $5000. —The Misses Edith and Florence Lewis, daughters of wealthy Chicago parents, have disappeared from Colorado Springs, Col., and the police have been asked to locate them if possible. —Roger Higginson, son of George W. Higginson, vice president of the Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad, was struck by a golf ball at a lawn fete in Winnetka, and for some time his condition was serious. Arthur A. Schneider, a bookkeeper, was shot and killed by a negro with whom he quarreled over a song. A crowd threatened to lynch a second negro whom the police arrested. The real murderer escaped. The Chicago girls, Miss Edith Lewis and her sister, Miss Florence Lewis, who mysteriously disappeared somewhere between Colorado Springs and Cripple Creek, Col., have not yet been discovered, according to latest reports from the mountains. Five firemen, members of engine company No. 55, were severely bruised by the falling of a wall while fighting a fire in Theodore A. Schwennenesen's factory. Only one of the firemen was so seriously hurt as to be incapacitated for duty. The property loss was small. —Hearing the crash of boards as a Great Western Railroad train backed down upon a dock, James Wallace, Sycamore, Ill., feared that he would be dragged under the train and jumped from the dock into the river. He drowned before any one could go to his assistance. —Sixty men are moving 1000 feet of the Metropolitan elevated structure that weighs 500 tons without any more effort than is required to move an ordinary frame dwelling house. The same method is being used. The ponderous structural iron work that forms the incline of the Garfield park branch of the Fortyeighth avenue station to the surface at Fiftieth avenue is to be moved forty feet south in order to straighten the line.

The bible as a serial story is the undertaking proposed by the Assump- tion Independent, a weekly newspaper published at Pana, Ill. The publisher announces that he will begin with an installment from Genesis and will print additional chapters in each is- sue until the work is finished. He esti- mates he will need fif:y years to com- plete the publication. The editor of the Independent says he has read many of the modern historical romances and that none of them com- pared with the scriptures for plot, dramatic situations and sustained inter- est. By breaking off each installment at a critical point in the narrative he ex- pects to arouse curiosity in the sue- ceeding issues and he believes he will not only increase the sales of his paper, but will also secure widespread inter- est in a work which he declarés _ is grossly neglected in the modern house- hold. x eae ee Passing of the Smock.

To make the savory jelly use two qaarts of good meat stock, a quarter of a pint of sherry, one-eighth of a pint of tarragon>vinegar, four ounces of sneet gelatine, and three whipped whites of eggs. Put all the ingredients into a saucepan, and whisk them to cether until they boil, then leave them to boil gently for five minutes. Strain iue jelly through a coarse teacloth, stretched fairly tight, into a basin, strain again into another basin, and so on until the jelly is perfectly clear, using a clean basin each time. It is ne-- ready for use. This of course makes rather a large quantity, but by halving the amount of the ingredients a smaller quantity can be made. To Clean Carpets. If carpets be very dirty they will look better and.brighter for being washed with soap. Beat the carpet to free it of dust,.then nail it down on the floor and wash it with a lather made with yellow soap dissolved in hot water, with the addition of a little soda. Rub the mixture into the carpet with a house flannel, and then rinse with clean water and rub with a dry cloth. Only attack a little piece of the carpet at a time and finish before go- ing on to another part. If, after it Is dry, the colors do not look bright. ap- ply to the carpet a weak solution of alum in water, BWects About Kees. Eggs boiled twenty minutes are moze easily digested than if boiled ten. They aredry and mealy, and are readily acted upon by the gastric juice. The yolk of anegg well beaten is a very good substi- tute for cream in coffee. An egg will season three cups. Hoarseness and tickling in the throat are relieved by a gargle of the white of an egg beaten to a froth with a tumblerful of warm, sweetened water. Beat an egg fifteen minutes with a pint of milk and a pint of water, sweeten with granulated sugar, bring to boiling point, and when cold use as a drink. It is excellent for a cold.

The attitude of perfection belongs to nothing that is man-made. Only God can be perfect, either in attainment or achievement. First, is God's way in the physical world a perfect way? So far as we may judge, his work is thoroughly done. Every minute detail is complete. Nothing has been hurriedly done. The rocks are the result of long ages of sand deposits, grain by grain. All forms of life, animal and vegetable, are produced and developed by the aggregation, one by one, of particles of matter so small as to defy the powers of the strongest glass. There is also order. Among all revolving and swift-flying planets there is not a clash or a jar. In the heavens above, in the earth beneath, and in the waters under the earth all nature is harmonious. Then, too, what variety! No two created things are exactly alike. No two leaves, blades of grass, or even grains of sand are exactly alike. Still again, what a world of beauty. In form, color and texture we find all nature possessed of indescribable beauty. When God puts his bow in the sky he paints it with colors unapproachable in beauty. The tints of the flowers and the hues of the sunlit skies are all so beautiful that the works of the greatest painters seem but miserable daubs. As we contemplate the perfection of God's way in the physical world, we are led to exclaim with the Psalmist: "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth his handiwork. Oh, Lord, how manifold are thy works; in wisdom hast thou made them all." Second, is God's way in the moral world a perfect way? Let us ask first, Is God just? Moses declares, "and without iniquity, just and right is he." Isaiah declares, "He is a just God." And to the same effect testify all the writers of the Old and New Testaments. Man instinctively admires the quality of justice in any act. But how many things come in to prevent justice when the laws are administered by man. How many times has ignorance sent a man to the gallows who was innocent, or let loose upon the word a criminal of the deepest dye. But God in his administration of justice knows all the facts, and so is able to deal justly. Again, prejudice often interferes with human justice. When Charles Wesley was conducting his famous revival meetings in Cork, mobs destroyed the houses and took the lives of some of his converts. Twenty-eight depositions were presented to the grand jury of the assizes against the offenders, but they were all thrown out, and the jury made a remarkable presentment, which still stands on the city records, and which declares: "We find and present Charles Wesley to be a person of ill-fame, a vagabond and a common disturber of the majesty's peace, and we pray that he may be transported." This is what prejudice will do in human courts. No such sentiment, for a moment, disturbs God in his administration of justice. God is interested in the welfare of all his creatures, and so administers his justice for the good of all. Another question, the answer to which will help in determining the character of God's administration of the moral world, is this: Is God merciful, as well as just? If God's way in the moral world be perfect, he must be merciful in his administration of justice and just in his administration of mercy. Paul, in speaking of the mercy and forbearance which God exercises toward those who believe in Christ, declares it to be so granted that God is still "just and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus." It is important to notice not only that God is merciful, but to notice also the many forms which his mercy takes. There is mercy in the form of compassion. When the leper came to Jesus and cried out, "Lord, if thou wilt thou canst make me whole," "Jesus looked upon him with compassion and healed him." When Jesus saw the widow of Nain weeping for the loss of her son "he was moved with compassion" and restored her son to life again. We read also, "And when Jesus looked upon the multitude he was moved with compassion." Jesus who came to earth to reveal the Father was in these acts of compassion revealing the mercy in the form of compassion which God has for all mankind. There is also mercy in the form of gentleness. And here, too, Jesus is the revealer of the Father. "A bruised reed he will not break, the smoking flax he will not quench." When the woman taken in sin was brought to him he did not rail at her and charge her with sinning against her sex, against the family, against society, and all the rest. But with the deepest tenderness in tone and manner he said to her, "Woman, go and sin no more." When Thomas was not willing to be convinced of the Lord's resurrection except he could see for himself "the print of the nails." Jesus had no word of reproach for him, but made the disciples in that upper room a second Sunday night visit for no other purpose than to win Thomas. And at this visit he gave Thomas an opportunity to "put his finger into the print of the nails and to thrust his hand into his side." And after Peter had committed that sin which makes him easily the capital sinner of the New Testament, Judas not excepted, still Christ's attitude toward him and his method with him was as gentle as that of a mother with her babe. The first opportunity Jesus had, after Peter's denial, for a private conversation with him is the one mentioned in the last chapter of John. There are three or four clear indications, in the account of this incident, that after the early morning meal of broiled fish was over Jesus and Peter retired a short distance for a private interview. Concerning that terrible sin which was now, no doubt, uppermost in Peter's thought, Jesus said never a word. He said simply: "Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?" The pathos, the tenderness, the love which Jesus put into that thrice repeated question none but Peter will ever know. But we do know that from that moment we have a new Peter, so that on the day of Pentecost, the man who was once afraid to confess Christ to a Jewish maid now proclaims him to the assembled multitude of those who had scourged and crucified him. God's mercy shown itself, also, in the form of patience and long suffering. "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise as some count slackness, but is long suffering toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." Oftentimes we get impatient, like James and John, who wanted to call down fire from heaven on the Samaritans. But God, although he marks the smallest sin, and although he hates sin with an infinite hatred, yet he never lets anything move him to haste or impatience. This forgiveness is not a forgiveness that allows our sins to be continually flaunted in our faces after we have been pardoned. "I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sins no more." When our sins are forgiven they are buried something as the body of Moses was buried! not only was his body buried, but his grave and the graveyard were buried also; so that "no man knoweth his sepulchre unto this day." "Thou, Lord, art great and ready to forgive." God is always ready to forgive. Still a third question needs to be asked and answered before we are ready to determine the character of God's administration of the moral world. That third question is this: Is God faithful? His justice might be perfect in the quality of it, but if it were only administered occasionally God's way would not be perfect. But we find combined with these attributes of justice and mercy the attribute of faithfulness. This completes the trinity of his perfections. He is a just God. "His mercy endureth forever." "Thy faithfulness is unto all generations." In view of all these considerations can we not say with the writer of our text, "As for God, his way is perfect?" SOME RIVALRIES RIGHTEOUS. By Rev. A. G. Bergen "But covet earnestly the best gifts." I. Cor. xii., 31. In religion, as in business, we ought to aspire to that which is best. He who has no ambition for better things either in society, business or religion, has already run his race and has practically dropped out of the procession. There is such a thing as a holy, laudable ambition for the sake of the good which we may accomplish, a holy rivalry, a righteous competition. It is to this that I would have Endeavorers aspire. The up-to-date Endeavorer possesses certain characteristics: First, he has an experimental acquaintance with God. He has at some time realized his unsaved condition. He has seen himself as a sinner in the sight of God and realized his helplessness. He has humbly and fully confessed his sins to Christ and now realizes that God for Christ's sake has forgiven him and accepted him as his child. These fundamental conceptions of our holy religion are deeply in-wrought into his inner experience. Second—He seeks continually for a deeper experience of grace. Life manifests itself in growth. The true Endeavorer greatly desires to become more Christ-like, to know more about His word, to enjoy more of His spirit, to grow in grace and a knowledge of the truth as it is in Christ. He is also anxious to be fitted for better service. He has a sympathetic interest in every member of the society, especially in the associate members, and is desirous of helping all those everywhere who know not Christ. Third—He conscientiously keeps his pledge, not in the letter only, but in the spirit also. The patriotic soldier endures hardship not because the army regulations require it, but because he loves his country. So it is with the Endeavorer. Whatever Jesus would have him do that he wishes to do, and will gladly and cheerfully attempt to do. For him what Jesus requires is not a burden. He does his duty because he loves to do it. He loves to keep his pledge and receives a blessing in doing so. Fourth—He will keep himself informed on Endeavor work and will be ready to help his society, his church or the cause of Christ at all times. The up-to-date business man is on the lookout for the best bargains and the best methods of advertising his wares, so the Endeavorer will be on the watch for the best methods of Bible study or committee work. He is an intelligent man and an aggressive worker. We get out of Endeavor work about what we put into it. The Indian legend that a spring on the side of Pike's Peak gives forth an increased product of whatever has been dropped into it beautifully and faithfully illustrates the reward of service for Christ and the church. SERMONETTES Only Ritual.—The Lord's prayer is the only ritual the Savior has left, and it is a complete statement of the fundamentals of religion.—Rev. Dr. E. E. Hale, Unitarian, Boston, Mass. Mystery of Suffering.—The doubt of some is based upon the sudden ending of many lives. But the fact that 40,000 people have died to-day instead of to-morrow, is one of the least of the problems. At best, for those who live, and those who die, the end cannot be long delayed; happily the sentence of death, from which no hero and no martyr has ever escaped, is a sentence that will soon include each of us. As the setting sun comes each eventide to lend a golden hue to cloud and sky, and city, so death is a universal event that will soon lend its dignity and beauty to all of us.—Rev.

Wiped Off the Sea In 1846 there were 736 vessels carrying the American flag (practically all were from New Bedford), hunting whales in every corner of the watered world, from Okhotsk to Arabia. That was a mighty fleet. Of it today are left but 39 small barques and schooners. January 1, 1859, a year before the Civil War began, there were 625 vessels; by 1866, the figures had fallen to 263. The annals of runed New Bedford fortunes will tell how much of the decrease was caused by the vindictive Alabama. The whalers would be coming home from four-year-long cruises in the Arctic. They knew nothing of the war that had begun since they left port in peace. Their holds were loaded down with oily cargo, and the crews reefed and tacked cheerfully enough to the thought of homeward bound. Then would come the astonished encounter with the Alabama, and the whaling captain would pace the Confederates' deck a prisoner and watch the fruit of his toil roll off across the sea in big billows of dense black smoke. The Alabama scourge was artificial. After the war, the trade picked up. In 1869 there were 338 vessels. Then came the striking of oil in Pennsylvania, and the whaling industry was doomed. Of the remnant of the fleet still afloat, 24 hail from New Bedford, 4 from Providencetown, 2 from Boston and 10 from San Francisco.

Required Several Hours' Work to Extricate Engineer's Body—Locomotives Smashed. Milwaukee, Wis., July 30.—[Special.] —A collision on the Milwaukee road at Elm Grove station, at 7:30 o'clock this morning, resulted in the instant death of Dennis W. Connell, engineer of the Waukesha "scoot" and a brother of J. H. Connell, engineer of the Michigan street bridge. Fireman Thomas Chambers of the Waukesha train was quite badly injured, though not fatally. Buried in the Wreck. Engineer Connell was buried in the wreck and it was some hours before his body was recovered. The wreck was the result of a collision between the passenger train and freight train No. 196, west-bound. Both engines were badly smashed up, together with two or three freight cars, and the wreck stopped traffic on that line for some hours, all trains being run over the Soldiers' Home line to and from Brookfield Junction. The Cause of the Accident. Freight train No. 169 left Merrill park a few minutes late and with a heavy train. The conductor figured that they could make Elm Grove, about seven miles west of Milwaukee, and meet the "scoot" as usual. Upon reaching the station there the freight ran beyond the station to clear for the sidetrack which is on this side of the station and the train was being backed in onto the siding when the Waukesha train arrived. There is a very slight curve at Elm Grove, but not sufficient to prevent trains from being seen for some distance in either direction. The "scoot" continued to approach as the freight was backing in, Engineer Connell, no doubt figuring that before he reached them they would be entirely clear of the main track. In this he miscalculated and a moment later the crash came and the two engines were in a badly mixed up heap. The engine of the scoot left the track and went partly over, carrying Engineer Connell with it and burying him beneath the wreck. His fireman, Thomas Chambers, jumped from the engine as it went over and escaped with several bad bruises and cuts. Others Escape Injury. The engineer and fireman of the freight escaped without injury, although the engine was badly stove up. They had the advantage of receding and the impact came with greater force to the approaching engine. There were but few passengers on the Waukesha train at the time, and no one else was in the least injured. This train leaves Waukesha daily at 7:10 for Milwaukee, being simply a Waukesha-Milwaukee accommodation train. At Wauwatosa about 100 business men take the train every morning at 7:38. Engineer Connell. The dead engineer, Dennis W. Connell, who was 51 years of age, had been in the employ of the Milwaukee road for thirty-two years, and for many years ran on the west end of the Prairie du Chien division, later running to and from Madison. Less than a year ago he was given the Waukesha scoot run as a reward for years of faithful service. He is survived by a son, James Connell, a telegraph operator at Prairie du Chien, a daughter, and his brother, J. H. Connell, formerly with the Milwaukee road, but now engineer of the Michigan street bridge. The wife of the dead engineer died about four years ago. Engineer Connell resided at 511 Maple avenue in Waukesha, his daughter, Miss Sadie Connell, keeping house for him since her mother's death. Mr. Connell was a native of Chatham, Four Corners county. N. Y., where he was born April 13, 1851. Wreck Cleared Away. The body of the dead engineer was removed from the wreck at 10 o'clock and a half hour later it was taken to his home in Waukesha. The wreck was cleared entirely by 11 o'clock, at which hour the movement of trains over that line was resumed. There were several peculiar features connected with the collision. The death of Engineer Connell was caused by the tender of his engine "telescoping" the cab at the time of the impact, the force having been sufficient to send the tender up into the cab with great force, thus catching the engineer and crushing him to death. He was also scalded by escaping steam. Neither engine left the track, as at first stated, but both were badly damaged. The engine of the passenger train naturally suffered the greatest damage on account of it going forward while the other was rapidly receding. Funeral at Madison. The funeral of the engineer will be held at Madison, where he lived for many years and where his wife is buried. His mother, aged 86 years, and one sister, Mrs. Patrick Finuerty, reside there. The aged mother was making arrangements to visit her son at Waukesha next week, and she was then coming to Milwaukee to visit her son, J. H. Connell. Fireman Chambers was taken to Waukakee during the morning. He will re Fireman Chambers was taken to Waukesha during the morning. He will recover. TAKES POISON AND THEN HANGS HIMSELF.

Came to Milwaukee in 1847 and Since Then Made His Residence in Waukesha, Wis., July 30.—[Special.] —Leonard Coleman died this morning at 9 o'clock at his home on East avenue. He was suffering from a general breakdown caused by over work, and his death has been expected hourly for the past three days. Mr. Coleman was born in 1824 at Fort Ann, Washington county, N. Y., and came to Milwaukee when 23 years of age on a prospecting tour. During the following year he decided to make Wisconsin his permanent residence place and after his marriage to Miss Marcena Barlow in 1848 he moved to the town of Summit, so called from its elevation of nearly 400 feet above Lake Michigan, and conducted a farm there for twenty-five years. He lived five years at Pensaukee, conducting a hotel which was destroyed by a cyclone, together with a large part of the village. In the fall of 1877 he came here to manage the American house, and after seven years in charge of that hostelry he rented the Park hotel and conducted it four seasons, until 1888, when he built the Coleman house. He has always managed this, with the aid of his wife, until this spring when the aged couple were compelled to retire on account of Mr. Coleman's failing health. He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. H. G. Morgan. He was an earnest church worker, a member of the Congregational Church, and has held several offices on the Republican ticket. The funeral will take place Friday morning from the Congregational Church. The burial will be at Summit, Wis. OFFICERS ARE NAMED.

Green Bay, Wis., July 30.—[Special.] —Edward Barry, arrested charged with being one of the three men who shot and killed Conductor Young at Monico Junction, made a confession while in jail here. He admits being one of the party ordered to get back into the train, by the contdoctor, but denies that he did the shooting. He says that the fatal shot was fired by a tall, dark man whose name is unknown to him. Barry admitted that he escaped from the jail at Jeffernson at the same time the murderer, Stephenson, did. He says that he went to Pelican Lake, where he met two tramps, one named O'Donnel, now in jail at Rhinelander, and the other a tall dark man. They got some liquor and got very drunk and noisy at Pelican Lake and were ordered out of town. They got into a box car and road to Manico Junction. When the train slowed up they got out of the car, but were seen by Conductor Young, who ordered them back into the car. He pointed a revolver at them. The tall dark man drew a revolver and shouting that he would show the conductor how to shoot began firing. Barry and O'Donnel climbed under the car until after the duel had ended. They were told by the tall man that they had better run as the conductor had been hurt. The hid in the woods for several hours. The next day they met a man who ordered them to surrender. The tall man began firing and the others took to their heels and escaped. They separated and Barry says he has no idea where the murderer of Conductor Young went. The police have his description and think they have a clue as to his whereabouts. TRIES SUICIDE TO GAIN NOTORIETY. Lad in Jail at Waukesha Anxious to Get His Name in the News- Waukesha, Wis., July 30.—[Special.] —James Swan, aged 19 years, who was found guilty on a serious charge some time ago and sentenced to the Green Bay reformatory, made an ineffectual attempt to commit suicide Monday night in his cell at the county jail, where he has been held pending the arrival of an officer from the reformatory. Some of his fellow prisoners heard an unusual noise in the cell, it being afterward discovered that this was caused by Swan's feet kicking the door when the choking commenced to pain him considerably, and Undersheriff McKay was called. He found Swan suspended from the top of the door and cut him down with his pocket knife. The lad was almost insensible and if the relief had not come within a few moments his attempt might not have proved futile. It seems that Swan is naturally of a very morbid disposition, in fact a degenerate, and there is little doubt but that when he took off his suspenders and after making a loop around his neck with them and then hanging himself to the grating, he was more influenced by the desire for notoriety than because he wanted to die. On the day following the deed Swan insisted on seeing all of the newspapers, and was apparently much disappointed in not seeing an account of his act, this having been suppressed temporarily by the officers in view of the lad's morbid desire for publicity, regardless of the character in which his name was presented to the public. He suffered no serious effects from his rash deed. SUCCEEDS WIFE AS SCIENCE PASTOR. New Reader is Chosen for the Church of Christ at Sheboygan—Pea Pickers are Busy.

FIGHT IN PAPER MILL. Appleton, Wis., July 29.—[Special.] As the result of a refusal by the Riverside Fiber and Paper Company of this city to accede to the demands of a number of stationary firemen in their employ, who asked that a non-union man be dismissed from the service, a strike was ordered which for a time threatened to cause a shut down of the entire plant. The local stationary firemen recently organized a union and nearly every fireman in the local paper mills has become a member. The union men who went out on the strike at the Riverside mills yesterday were given their dismissal and after a few hours an entirely new force was engaged. About 9 o'clock last evening several of the strikers who had been released returned to the mill and demanded that they be reinstated. They were rejected and the men proceeded to the boiler room and a general fight ensued, several of the men receiving severe wounds about the face and body. Warrants for the arrest of two of the union men were taken out today and they will tomorrow be arraigned before a local justice on the charge of assault and battery. No definite action has as yet been taken by the local Brotherhood of Papermakers in regard to the letter received yesterday from the Kimberly & Clark Company in which they requested a change from the present hour schedule, but it is expected that the men will within the next few days forward a letter to the company stating that they will agree not to work on Monday mornings and receive no pay for that half day.

Farmer Gave Estate to Son Before Death and Other Heirs Thought They Would Have to Fight. New Richmond, Wis., July 29.—[Special.]—The promised sensational litigation growing out of the Rollin Hemenway estate has been settled and this matter will not go to the courts. The deceased was a wealthy farmer of the town of Star Prairie. Previous to his death he deeded all his property, real and personal, to his second son, Norris. The widow, his third wife, feared this was an effort to shut out herself and her child as well as the children of the second wife, who died some years ago, of their lawful share of the estate, and suits were instituted to break the transfer. Norris disclaimed any such intention, and his voluntary distribution of the estate in such a manner as to satisfy the claimants proves this. OBITUARY MENTION. John Waala, Wild Rose.

Redlands, Cal., July 28.—[Special.]—The body of Dr. Charles Kendall Adams will not be taken East for burial, but will be interred in the cemetery at this place. The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock from the residence. Dr. Adams passed peacefully away at his home in this city shortly after 6 o'clock Saturday evening. His wife and nephew, John Cutter Shedd, were at Dr. Adams' bedside when death came. Bright's disease was the cause of death. Mrs. Adams is prostrated with grief and exhaustion, she having nursed her husband for many weeks. Dr. Adams came to California to die. All that he hoped for in coming to this semi-tropic climate was that the end might be deferred until he could complete certain literary work. Two weeks ago Dr. and Mrs. Adams moved into the fine house he had built in this place. Worked His Way Through College. Dr. Adams was 67 years of age. He was born in Derby, Vt., and his early education was gained in the public schools of his birthplace and Derby academy. In 1856 his parents removed to Iowa, and his education was continued there under the tutorship of Rev. H. K. Edson of Denmark academy. In the fall of the following year he was admitted to the University of Michigan, and, working his way through, was graduated in 1861. Four years later, however, he returned to the university to become instructor in Latin and history. In 1865 he was promoted to the position of assistant professor, and when two years afterwards, Prof. White accepted the presidency of Cornell University, Mr. Adams was appointed his successor in the chair of history. Builds Up Cornell and Wisconsin. When President White of Cornell retired from office in 1885 Prof. Adams was chosen to fill the vacancy, becoming the second president of the school. A period of remarkable growth began the Adams administration, and his term was marked by a complete reorganization of the departments. In 1885 the university had a staff of fifty-four instructors and an attendance of 573 students; in 1892, when President Adams resigned the presidency of Cornell to assume control of the University of Wisconsin, the corps of instructors numbered 135 and the enrollment had grown to 1506. In October, 1901, Dr. Adams resigned the presidency of the Wisconsin University, but for many months the regents refused to accept his resignation, in hopes that he would recover and would be able to assume his work as president. Among his prominent literary works are "Democracy and Monarchy in France," "Life and Work of Columbus" and "Manual of Historical Literature." He was editor-in-chief of Johnson's Universal Cyclopedia." CRUSHED UNDER WALL. Workman at Portage Buried Alive While Clearing Away Debris of Burned Building.

He was a pioneer druggist of Beaver Dam, coming here in 1862. He left here in 1894 and opened a drug store in Waupun, where he was in business not quite four years, after which he returned here and had been engaged in the drug business actively ever since. He was mayor of this city three different terms. Besides his widow there survive one daughter, Mattie Cortelyou of Sisteson, S. D., and three sons—Orville of Giddes, S. D.; Herbert of Watertown, S. D., and Will J. of this city. SET HIS HAND ON FIRE. Novel Cure for Flesh Wound Not a Success La Crosse, Wis., July 28.—The advice of a friend in the treatment of a flesh wound may cause Vincent Wojczil of Hale, north of here, to lose the use of a hand.

PINKHAM:—When I passed through what is known as 'change of life,' I had two years' suffering,—sudden heat, and as quick chills would pass over me; my appetite was variable and I never could tell for 1830 MRS. E. SAILER, President German Relief Association Los Angeles, Cal. a day at a time how I would feel the next day. Five bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound changed all that, my days became days of health, and I have enjoyed every day since—now six years. "We have used considerable of your Vegetable Compound in our charitable work, as we find that to restore a poor mother to health so she can support herself and those dependent upon her, if such there be, is truer charity than to give other aid.

Smith of Milwaukee can sympathize with rheumatic sufferers, because he was himself tortured by this disease for years. He made a thorough study of his own case and of the causes of the disease, following this with the experimental use of remedies suggested by the knowledge thus gained. Ultimately he found a combination of herbs which completely rid his system of every trace of rheumatism, and, though years have elapsed, he is still perfectly free from any symptom of the old ailment. Neighbors and friends to whom Mr. Smith gave the remedy were cured with equal thoroughness and permanence and "Gloria Tonic," as Mr. Smith named the discovery, began to be in demand. Since that time many thousands have by its use been relieved of the terrible affliction of rheumatism. Mr. Smith has 75,000 sample packages of this remedy which he desires to distribute, free of charge, among rheumatic sufferers. He therefore authorizes the announcement that any reader of this paper may obtain a free trial package of "Gloria Tonic" by addressing John A. Smith, No. 80 Germania building, Milwaukee, Wis. An Improved Telescope The medial telescope is the name applied by the inventor, Prof. Schupmann of Aachen, to a refractor of peculiar construction. The objective of an ordinary refractor consists of two lenses of different densities. This combination is necessary in order to correct for spherical and chromatic aberration. In the medial telescope, however, the objective consists of one lens, and the light which falls upon it passes through uncorrected. Near the eye piece is placed a somewhat complicated optical system, which not only corrects for spherical and chromatic aberration, but does it better than is possible with the ordinary objective. For, even with, two lenses of different densities, it is not possible to correct entirely for chromatic aberration; there is left what opticians call the "secondary spectrum," the effect of which is to make the images somewhat indistinct in even the best of telescopes. With the medial telescope the secondary spectrum is greatly reduced in intensity. A telescope of this description has been built at Urania Observatory in Berlin; its aperture is 13 inches and its focal distnace is 16 feet. The secondary spectrum is only one-twentieth as intense as that in an ordinary refractor of these dimensions. It is reported to be of excellent definition and to give surprisingly faultless views of the planets, even under bad atmospheric conditions. By simply turning a small screw, the image of a star may be broadened out into its spectrum with any desired degree of dispersion. The advantages of this instrument are its almost perfect achromatism and its inexpensive construction. Its disadvantages are its small field and the great loss of light which arises from the character of its optical system.—From the Journal of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. The Art of Camping. Rubber mattresses are good and sleeping bags are excellent, but in all my experiences as a camper I have found nothing so satisfactory or so comfortable as the bed built of fresh pine boughs. When these beds are carefully constructed there isn't, to my mind, a hair mattress in the universe that can compare with this primitive but deliciously comfortable affair. If you are stopping only two or three nights in one spot and then going on in your search for game or for scenery, your guide will not take the trouble to make your bed in a very thorough manner. He will simply heap up some freshly cut pine boughs and arrange them with the soft green needles for the top layer of the bed. The truly satisfactory bed of pine boughs requires some time and some skill to construct, and not every guide who inhabits the Quebec or Aroostook pine jungles knows how or is willing to bother with making one properly. In the first place long logs are cut for the length of the bed, and shorter ones are put across the ends. Into this low box are piled, first, large freshly hewn boughs to build the bed up to the height of the box sides. On top of these boughs softer ones are laid, with the new green parts on top to form a covering for the springy moss. When plenty of the soft green needles are put over the other boughs you have a bed that is at once deliciously soft and comfortable. The best part of it is that the aromatic pine balsam is a remedy in itself, and the elasticity of the bed lasts for days.—Martha Coman in the Outlook. Great Britain and Ireland import about 265,000,000 pounds of cheese each year. Canada supplies about 60 per cent. of the whole. IN FLY TIME.

The principal feature of the secretarial institute which was held in the Y. W. C. A. building in Milwaukee recently was the address given by L. Wilbur Messer, general secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association in Chicago. He took for his theme "The Evangelical Basis of Christian Association Work," and set forth his thought in such manner as to emphasize each point clearly and distinctly. "Every aggressive or progressive organization or movement has a clearly defined purpose," said Mr. Messer, and the aim of the Young Women's and Young Men's Christian Associations is distinctly the religious work of evangelization, which includes Christian culture. The uniformity of action is dependent on the association of those who recognize this fundamental aim, and to this uniformity is largely due the fact that for nearly sixty years the Young Men's Christian Association has held together, growing stronger each day." Basis of Uniformity In speaking of the plans for this basis of uniformity, Mr. Messer said that it had never been found advisable to have an association creed, but that membership in churches holding in common the verities of the great religious truths had been regarded in forming this basis. He told of the organization of association work in 1844 with the vitw that members need be only of good moral character, thus admitting those who might hold the views of the infidel to active membership. But the founders soon saw the need of having a common religious basis, and at the first World's Congress, held in Paris in 1855, a belief in the Lord Jesus Christ and an effort to extend the work of His Kingdom was made the foundation. Only those who are members of some one of the evangelical churches can be admitted to active membership in the association, although a very large number from the non-evangelical churches the received as associate members. Mr. Messer said that it was a very difficult question to decide just what to do with the various "isms" coming up in religion, whose believers united under the name of a church. Many associate members are from these classes and they are requesting the rights of active members. As an example a prominent Chicago man, a follower of the Dowie faith, holds a life associate membership, but can never be given the rights of an active member, although he has requested them. "The great builwark of our safety and power is the evangelical church," said Mr. Messer, "and this evangelical basis emphasizes the deity of Jesus Christ, the personality of the Holy Spirit, the new birth, the divine authority of the holy scriptures, and the belief in future reward and punishment." That this basis need not in any way interfere with the work of the association in influencing large numbers not in evangelical churches was shown by Mr. Messer as he told of the work carried on by the railroad associations. That this work is of value has been acknowledged by the heads of great railway companies who have expressed themselves, after the organization of various clubs for the benefit of their employees, that the work done for their men by the Young Men's Christian Association is of the greatest practical value and in every way is more beneficial than could be obtained through any other channel. OLD THEATER IS TO GO. "Sadler's Wells," 200 Years Old, to be Demolished in London. "Sadler's Wells," the oldest of all the London theaters, not even excluding Drury Lane itself, is about to share the fate of so many of the metropolis' ancient landmarks and be pulled down. The quaint little play house where Pinero laid the scene of one of the most affecting of his comedies, "Trelawney of the Wells," first raised its curtain over 200 years ago, when George II. was King. Starting as a humble "music-house," as they were called then, there was much theatrical history made at "Sadler's Wells" until the '60s, when it reached its palmy days as the "home of legitimate drama" in London. After all, the last state of the historic play house is no worse than the first, for in the beginning it was just a plain little drinking house, with a stage for tumbling and acrobatic performances, out in a field, quite a walk from London town. But the city, which has now completely surrounded the meadow land of those days, crept nearer and the landlord of "Sadler's Wells" had to take out a license and, says a queer old writer gossiping about the theater, "thought it necessary to regulate his small stage and increase his bill of fare." And so he did, and the "increase" proved such a good business venture that the theater was enlarged still more and gradually got to be the best known place of the kind in London. Some of the play bills of that time, 1741, make mightily funny reading. The genial proprietor of the house aimed to cater, continues the old London writer, severely, "for people who find or make leisure hours to spend in the summer season." Musical plays and gymnastics, also "postures" (probably a kind of living pictures) used to constitute the bill. "Swan Hopping, or a Voyage to Staines," was one of the musical comedies of those times; "into which will be introduced," promises the play bill, "a grand procession of boats and barges." Orchestra seats at the old "Wells" were three and sixpence, about 80 cents, the pit was 2 shillings and the gallery 1. There were two performances every day, "at 2 and 6 precisely." Lessons in English. The efforts of teachers to increase the vocabulary of young pupils by giving them words to use in sentences of their own formation results often in wondrous combinations. An Italian boy in Philadelphia, doing his best to master English, was aided in a peculiar way by an observation of his father's vocabulary. The other day his teacher asked the class to write a sentence to include the word disarrange. The word is in advance of the Italian boy's stock of English, and he was sorely puzzled, but too proud to confess the fact. Later he handed up a paper on which the following was written in round, boyish characters: "When a fodda lighta the fire in the morning he says, 'Damma-dis-arange.'"—New York Tribune.

Stirring Hunting Tales Told by Civil Engineer of Life in Coahuila. A civil engineer recently returned from the hacienda of Jimuico in Coahuila, an immense property containing over 2000 square kilometers, tells some stirring tales of shooting wild game. Antelopes abound, but great care is necessary in approaching these wily creatures, owing to their habit of always placing one or two on guard while the rest of the herd is feeding. The sentinels, faithful to their duty, remain with head erect, peering and sniffing to the four points of the compass, and give a swift alarm the moment an enemy appears in sight. Not long since a party of young men were hunting the javali, or wild hog, and, coming up with a number, one of the hunters succeeded in killing one and dismounted to secure it. As he approached his prey a dozen or more javali that were hiding in the tall grass attacked him ferociously, and one fastened his tusks in the hunter's heel, hanging on like grim death. The others came to their companion's assistance and the brute was killed, but the tusks were sunk so deep into the heel that the hog's jaws had to be pried apart with a gun barrel before the man was freed. Strange as it may seem, the wound closed quickly and with no serious results. On this same hacienda are both wild dogs and wild burros, the latter being remarkably swift and hard to take. Some time ago a pup was caught and tamed, developing into a fine watch dog, but though every effort was made to secure a mate for him it has not been possible. It is not generally realized that the mountain lions of Mexico will attack a man, but several recent encounters show them to be as dangerous for men as for beasts. One of the mozos in a recent hunting party had but one hand, the stump of his left arm bearing witness to a terrible struggle with a lion he had shot and then approached, thinking the brute was dead. A gentleman who has hunted in the state of Senora tells of a certain spring where two men have been killed by lions while camping there for the night. These brutes follow a man for miles, like the panther, lured on by the human scent and hopes of finding an opportunity to spring on the traveler. A mountain lion was recently killed in Michoacan that measured three meters from tip to tip.—Mexican Herald. A Foolish Lift. Stratford, Wis., July 28.—William Junemann was working with a farmer near this place last summer and one day they got stuck with a load of grain. Mr. Junemann says: "We had to lift like fools and my back cracked and started to hurt me so that I couldn't stand it any longer. The man I was working with took me home and I went to bed. I saw an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills in the paper and I sent and got one fifty-cent box. Before I had this box used up I began to feel better and I kept on and very soon my back was well again. "I can't say enough for Dodd's Kidney Pills and I cannot understand why anyone should continue to suffer with backache when Dodd's Kidney Piils will cure it so quickly." A Plea for Courtesv. We have lost the old flowery forms of politeness, and now we never waste "thank you" on a fellow creature who is not of our own immediate circle. A tradesman does, but he knows it will be charged in the bill. I wonder what will bring us back to the old sweetness of manner? Why should not the customer in the tea shop or the customer in the postoffice say "please" when he gives his order, and the other spare a "thank you" when he has paid his bill? It makes life run so much more easily.—Girl's Realm. Municipal Ownership in Great Britain.

MEDICAL EXAMINER mend Pe-ru-na. Miss Blanch Grey, 174 Alabama street, Memphis, Tenn., a society woman of Memphis, writes: "To a society woman whose nervous force is often taxed to the utmost from back of rest and irregular meals I know of nothing which is of so much benefit as Peruna. I took it a few months ago when I felt my strength giving away, and it soon made itself manifest in giving me new strength and health."—Miss Blanch Grey. Mrs. X. Schneider, 2409 Thirty-seventh Place, Chicago, Ill., writes: "After taking several remedies without result, I began last year to take your valuable remedy, Peruna. I was a complete wreck. Had palpitation of the heart, cold hands and feet, female weakness, no appetite, trembling, sinking feeling nearly all the time. You said I was suffering with systemic catarrh, and I believe that I received your help in the nick of time. I followed your directions carefully and can say to-day that I am well again. I cannot thank you enough for my cure." Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Peruna is not a guess nor an experiment—it is an absolute scientific certainty. Peruna has no substitutes—no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna. A free book written by Dr. Hartman, on the subject of catarrh in its different phases and stages, will be sent free to any address by The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. Catarrh is a systemic disease curable only by systemic treatment. A remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This is what Peruna does. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

Treasury Department, graduate of Columbia College, and who served three years at West Point, has the following to say of Peruna: "Allow me to express my gratitude to you for the benefit derived from your wonderful remedy. One short month has brought forth a vast change and I now consider myself a well man after months of suffering. Fellow sufferers, Peruna will cure you." Peruna immediately invigorates the nerve-centers which give vitality to the mucous membranes. Then catarrh disappears. Then catarrh is permanently cured. Aerial view of the city of Oslo, Norway.

AGRICULTURAL THE HORSE GERALD M'KINNIE AT THE AGE OF FOUR MONTHS. Humbert The seeds of crimson clover, when sown in corn, are put in at the last cultivation of the corn, in July or August, according to locality and the growth of the corn. It is the general practice to simply scratch the seed in and while this is often sufficient it results in loss in seasons when drought prevails or even when the season is only a little more than ordinarily dry. Twelve to fifteen pounds of seed should be used per acre, and it should be put in just before the last cultivation of the corn so that the latter process will cover it well. Of course it will not stand the winter in all sections, but if handled in the manner suggested it will do well in most sections where the red clover succeeds. The feeding value of clover hay is high, as is its fertilizing value, to say nothing of the value of having a clover crop on the soil during the winter, so that every farmer should make great efforts to GERALD M'KINNIE AT THE have a stand of crimson clover even though they fail for several times in succession. Enlarging the Wheelbarrow. When wheeling corn fodder and other light stuff, a wheelbarrows capacity is too limited for convenience. The illustration shows a simple attachment that can be slipped into the bar- AN ENLARGED WHEELBARROW. row on such occasions, to the great increase of its capacity. The side pieces should be hardwood strips. The attachment may be supported by hooks from the strips to the top of the wheelbarrow's back if preferred. Fertilizing the Strawberry. Fertilizing the Strawberry. From a careful study of the anatomy of the strawberry plant the Wisconsin station is of the opinion that a liberal top dressing with fine manure or a very fertile soil after the fruiting season is the most rational method of fertilizing the strawberry plantation. This dressing protects the crowns of the plants from excessive summer heat and furnishes the young roots with abundant nourishment throughout the growing season, developing strong plants which are able to store up in the short stems a good supply of reserve material for the first leaf growth the following spring. Quality of Eggs. We often hear people say that eggs from some breeds of fowls are richer than those from others, and that those with dark shells are richer than those with white shells. Such differences, or, rather, the source of such differences is purely imaginary. Neither the breed nor the color of the shell affect the quality of the egg. It is the food, and that alone, which affects the flavor and delicate quality of the egg. If hens are carefully fed on wholesome foods they will remain healthy, and their eggs will be very different from those laid by poorly conditioned hens. Hay Crop Substitute. There is always an excellent substitute for clover and timothy when the hay crop is short, and that is millet. It is a quick-growing summer crop that may be seeded in May or June, and it seldom fails to produce a large yield of hay. It is also one of the best eradicators of weeds that can be used, and it grows so rapidly as to crowd the weeds to destruction. A crop of Hungarian grass may also be seeded down for a summer yield of hay, as it may ```markdown ``` be mowed three or four times during the season, being also, like millet, a weed destroyer. Chance for Eastern Farmers. The high price of cattle is leading many of our New England farmers to raise their calves and to use more steers and oxen on the farm; and, in fact, to be in line to have more cattle to sell year by year. This is a healthy sign for New England agriculture, as nothing seems to be such clear gain as turning off a pair or two of fat cattle every year. Cattle raising has been too much neglected in the New England States during the past twenty years, and it is a pleasure to note that on many farms cattle husbandry is again coming to the front. No better beef in the world is raised than that which is pastured on New England hillsides, even if it topped off with Western corn, though we believe that cattle husbandry will lead to large areas of corn fodder and corn to be harvested in the grain. Nothing seems to improve the farm faster than increased attention to the producing of beef and raising the necessary fodder crops and grain crops. Massachusetts Ploughman. Colt Inherits Speed. The colt Gerald McKinnie, is the property of Wm. M. McKinnie, of Fort Wayne, Ind., and without doubt inherits extreme speed. A glance at his E AGE OF FOUR MONTHS. picture can but convince one of his wonderful development of bone and muscle. His sire is the great Cresceus, with a trotting record of 2:021/4, who is rich in the best blood of American trotters. He holds six world's wagon and harness records on mile and half-mile tracks, and it is predicted by those who are judges that he will yet go a mile in two minutes flat. Mr. Ketcham, of Toledo, the owner of Cresceus, trains and drives his own horse. The dam of Gerald McKinnie (Mary Centlivre, 2:12) was a wonderful mare, possessing speed equal to the sire, and some are of the opinion more. She had to her credit a half mile paced in 591/2 seconds. Her family relations are high class and among the fastest. She was purchased by Mr. McKinnie of the Centlivre Brothers. The Gerald colt at the time the picture was taken was four months old. He is a beautiful black, with not a white hair on him, and shows a wonderful gait for his age. To Mend a Broken Leg. A broken leg of a fine young purebred pullet was mended by winding carefully with surgeon's plaster, which can be bought for a rew cents per roll at the drug store. It is not the same as court plaster. Wind closely, the courses overlapping, but not so tightly as to stop circulation. The bird was turned loose at once and L received no further care, but the leg seems as good as ever after four or five weeks.—D. H. B. in Farm and Home. The Metropolitan and Rural Home gives the following sensible advice. Fruits should be planted and kept up on rented farms. There is no reason why a landlord should not take interest and see that the tenants are supplied with small fruits, grapes, etc. The leases should be for a long time and plants and vines should be furnished, the renter to plant and take care of them. Strawberries fruit the year after planting, raspberries the second year, blackberries and grapes the third year and tree fruits from the third to the seventh year. There is no reason why both landlord and tenant should not take an interest in these things. Lima beans demand considerable potash and lime. Wood ashes are consequently beneficial to them, but if ashes are unobtainable the potash salts will be found excellent. A light application of nitrate of soda will give the young plants a good start. 65c Wash Silks—All our finest quality Habutai Wash Silks—stripes and printed warp effects, worth up to 65c a yard.

The German Emperor will get a good idea of the skill of American workmanship when he receives a keyless clock which will be shipped to him next week as a gift from Prince Henry. During his recent visit to this country Prince Henry became interested in the keyless clock and expressed a desire to give one to his brother, the Emperor. The keyless clock has its base made of the richest of onyx, trimmed with finest gold decoration. The jewels in the works have been especially selected. The clock will run continuously and keep accurate time for one year without change of battery. The glass casing is an oval dome of unusual clearness, exposing the works to view on all sides. The hands of the clock are of pure gold, and the dial has been artistically illuminated. The clock is the invention of a New Yorker who worked on it for thirty years. Eat Carload of Fish a Day. It is estimated that about a carload of Holland herring and other kinds of dried fish is being used daily in Milwaukee at the present time. This is the result of the continued high prices of meat of various kinds.
