SPOONER IS INDORSED. Congressman Barney Declined to Havo His Name Presented at the Convention at Fond du Lac. PRESENT INCUMBENT COMMENDED. Fond du Lac, Wis., Sept. 17.—[Special.]—W. H. Froehlich, the present secretary of state, was this afternoon nominated for Congress from the Sixth Republican Congressional district. No other name was presented and the nomination was made on the first ballot. Congressman S. S. Barney, the present incumbent, refused to permit his name to be presented and supported Mr. Froehlich for the nomination. After the nomination had been made Mr. Froehlich was called upon for a speech. He responded with a short impromptu talk and after he had finished Congressman Barney was called upon for a speech. The session reconvened promptly at 1:30 o'clock and the temporary organization was made permanent. The committees on resolutions and credentials reported and the resolutions were then read. In substance they were as follows: The party policy was reaffirmed; Spooner was indorsed unconditionally; the state, legislative and county tickets were approved, but the work of the state administration was not mentioned, reciprocity on the tariff question was approved and Congressman Barney was commended for his good work while in office. The resolutions were adopted without change. When nominations were called for Dodge, Fond du Lac, Ozaukee and Sheboygan counties did not present any name, but when Washington was called, A. C. Backus arose and named W. H. Froehlich for congressman. C. A. Christianson of Dodge county seconded the nomination. Congressman Barney arrived last evening and was in conference for a portion of the evening with those of the delegates who had already arrived. It is said that his presence here does not in any way affect his declaration of a determination not to be a candidate for the congressional nomination, but on the contrary his main purpose is to keep off the ticket and to prevent any effort that may be made to place him in nomination contrary to his desires. It is further stated that Mr. Barney desires all support which would otherwise go to him to be tendered Mr. Froehlich. The convention opened promptly at 11 o'clock with the eighty-three delegates present. A temporary organization was perfected with S. W. Sweet as chairman. He called the meeting to order and Will Tallmadge of Sheboygan was chosen permanent chairman and Charles Hawks of Dodge county was chosen secretary. Committees on resolutions and credentials were then chosen, one member from each county being selected. The committee selected were: The committee selected were. Credentials—E. M. Beach, Dodge; F. A.

W. Trester, Sheboygan, and William Kuhaupt, Washington. Adjournment was then taken until 1:30 o'clock. DANE COUNTY FOR SPOONER. Assembly Nominees Receive Instructions at the Convention. Madison, Wis., Sept. 17.—[Special.] Three assemblymen who were instructed for Soponer unconditionally were nominated by the three Dane county Assembly districts at the Republican convention this afternoon. In the Second district the nominee was also instructed to support tax reform and primary elections. In the First and Third this instruction was rather indefinite. The nominees are: First district, M. S. Dudgeon, Madison; Second district, Forger Thompson, Deerfield; Third district, John S. Donald, Springdale. The only contest was in the Second district, where it took eight ballots for a choice. KREUTZER IS NAMED. Wausau, Wis., Sept. 17.—[Special.]— Senator A. L. Kreutzer was renominated today on the first ballot in the Republican convention, receiving the solid Marathon county vote of nineteen. J. R. Salter of Unity received Clark county's vote of fifteen.

The image shows a large tree with a dense canopy of leaves, situated in a rural setting. In the background, there are several people gathered around the tree, possibly engaging in a communal activity or observing the surroundings. The ground is covered with grass, and there are buildings visible in the distance. The overall atmosphere suggests a peaceful, community-oriented environment. The church is a large wooden building with a steep roof and a tall bell tower. It is surrounded by a large tree and a grassy field where people are gathered. Grafton Hall, School for Ladies. The Editor of the Advocate during a recent trip to the city of Fond du Lac was invited to visit Grafton hall, a cut of which we publish in this issue. To say that we were delighted and pleasantly and agreeably surprised is to put the matter lightly. This wonderful institution is devoted to the education and training of young ladies and is one of the best in the world. The main building is a magnificent structure built of stone, three stories in height, and is fireproof. There are other buildings devoted to the different departments of the college, the whole surrounded by a broad stretch of shrubbery and well-kept grounds, with beautiful flower beds, tennis courts, croquet grounds, giving to the young lady student every possible facility for physical exercise as well as mental training. The school is centrally located in Fond du Lac, on Lake Winnebago; the climate is salubrious and there is an absence of throat diseases. The aim of the school is to provide a thorough training for girls and the broadest educational advantages for young ladies. In the various well-equipped depart- --- 25 cents. Mrs. S.

Since the organization of this club by the Negro citizens of this city it has been quite active in reaching the Negroes elsewhere in the state. The Negro, with one accord, will continue to work for the return of Senator Spooner to the Senate. Mr. Lawson, formerly of Racine and recently of 184 Eighth street, Milwaukee, and who was recently sentenced by Judge Neelen to thirty days' imprisonment in the house of correction in default of the payment of a fine of $25, died in the county hospital last Tuesday morning after a surgical operation. His relatives and friends in Racine and Milwaukee were notified. W. H. Bennett, the present incumbent, is, we understand, an aspirant for renomination to the office of district attorney. Mr. Bennett has not displayed any particular brilliancy in this office and has no particular claim on his party, being a recent importation into the county. Neither has he surrounded himself with any specially efficient assistants, and the Advocate believes that the interests of Milwaukee county would be best protected by a change in this particular office. Hon. F. L. McGhee, the well-known attorney of St. Paul, Minn., will address the colored citizens of Milwaukee at St. Mark's Church on the evening of November 12 in the interest of the National Afro-American Council and for the purpose of soliciting money wherewith to contest the recent acts of disfranchisement enacted by various Southern Legislatures. The Advocate will reserve its decision for the present and we advise the public to wait, watch and listen. THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY ments are taught music, art, elocution, belles lettres and domestic science. It prepares also for the higher institutions of learning and its certificate entitles the recipient to advanced standing at the University of Wisconsin or at any of the Eastern colleges. We passed through the library, one of the coziest retreats of the institution. It contains over 2000 volumes and is within a short distance of the fine new public library of 18,000 volumes. Right Rev. C. C. Grafton, Protestant Episcopal bishop of Fond du Lac, is president and lecturer on ethics. At the head of the active faculty stands the warden, Rev. B. Talbot Rogers, A. M., E. D., professor of Greek. The editor is proud to number Prof. Rogers among his oldest friends and earliest subscribers. His accomplished better half, Mrs. B. T. Rogers, B. L., is matron and associate principal. There is a large and eminent faculty and nothing is neglected to bring the student as near to moral, mental and physical perfection as the latest improved methods of pedagogy in all its branches will permit. *** WE CONTINUE TO WARN THE BENEVOLENT PUBLIC AGAINST THE NUMEROUS BEGGARS FOR ALLEGED CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS IN BEHALF OF THE NEGRO RACE. LOOK WELL TO THE CREDENTIALS OF SUCH MENDICANTS AND INQUIRE OF SOME REPUTABLE NEGRO CITIZEN REGARDING THE TRUTHFULNESS OF THEIR STATEMENTS. CLARK ATHL Charles S. Weisse & Co., tanners and curriers and dealers in harness and saddlery leather, are located at Sheboygan Falls, Wis., and are doing a large and extensive business. The firm is composed of Mr. R. Wagner, Mr. Charles H. Weisse, Mr. L. A. Weisse, Mr. O. B. Weisse and Mr. E. S. Weisse. DAVID N. HUGHES. Waukesha County's Efficient County Clerk Candidate for Re-election. Although there are half a dozen or more aspirants for the Waukesha county clerkship yet we have no fears for the outcome. The present incumbent, Mr. David N. Hughes, whose cut we present to our readers, has performed the duties of the office for the past four M. B. years in a highly acceptable manner. Men of all political parties are compelled to acknowledge that he has made an able and efficient county clerk; that he has at all times been courteous and obliging to those doing business with him and that it will be the best interests of his party and the public to renominate and re-elect him. Just at this time, NUMBER 50. BENEVOLENT PUBLIC AGAINST ALLEGED CHARITABLE INSTITU- RACE. LOOK WELL TO THE CRE- S AND INQUIRE OF SOME REPUTA- THE TRUTHFULNESS OF THEIR pears in this issue, is the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Sixth district against W. H. Froehlich. Mr. Weisse is known far and wide for his charitable deeds and aids in the support of eight churches in and around his home district. Mr. Weisse is making a strong campaign, which is increasing in interest daily. when the new county asylum buildings are nearing completion, we do not believe the voters of Waukesha county will commit the folly of making a change merely to satisfy the ambitions of some hungry office seeker. POLITICAL FACTS. While this paper is engaged in the political arena the same as any other paper and will always recognize and applaud merit wherever we find it, yet we do not find it either in all men or in all places, and where we find a shyster or unqualified person occupying a position he does not fill we will never hesitate to show the public just how big he really is. Our business carries us into all parts of the state, where we are uniformly treated with courtesy and respect by political office seekers as well as all classes of people. We cannot see how a certain well known class of Negro hating politicians can have the gall to invite Negro support. Men like "Long" Jones, Kleist, J. O. Davidson, W. H. Bennett, Huebschman, Cully Adams, Jere Murphy, Myrick and Hanan of the Free Press, M. C. Ring, lobbyist for the North-Western and a few more we could and may mention later, come under this category. NOTICE. With this issue of the Wisconsin Weekly Advocate we have inaugurated a change in the general arrangement of our paper. Owing to increasing demands for important space we will hereafter use the fourth page for editorial matter. RICHARD B. MONTGOMERY. Mrs. T. E. Ryan, the wife of Hon. T. E. Ryan of Waukesha, we regret to learn, is at present at a Waukesha sanitarium in the midst of a severe illness. The Advocate tenders her and her family its sympathy and hopes for her speedy recovery.

P. Mor- gan, John Markle made this statement: "I do not think it necessary to repeat that all talk of coneessions on the part of the operators is foolish, and certaiuly without foundation. Our position now is the same as when Mitchell made his original propositions, and no different than when the strike began. “We said then that we would make no concessions and we repeat it now. There is no 2 ee why this should not be understoed. The operators haye shown that they mean it and I repeat only by way of emphasis. “There is just one way to end the strike—by the men returning to work, and every day they ene away by giv- ing willing ear to Mitchell's specious promises will only entail further loss and suffering to them. Conditions are improving daily; more men are returning to work and more coal is being mined. “So far as recent attempts at settle- ment are concerned it is only necessary to add that every effort from Senator Hfanna’s down has been fftile. We have defined our position and will main- tain it.” GOMPERS A? WILKESBARRE. Labor Federation Takes Hand in Coal Miners’ Strike. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 16.—Samuel Gompers, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor, arrived: in town this morning. He at once went to President Mitchell’s headquarters, where he met National Treasurer Wilson and the dis- trict presidents of the United Mine Workers.

President of American Federation of Labor, Now at Wilkesbarre, Pa. Gompers was asked what his mission here was. He replied that he came to confer with Mr. Mitchell and the other officials of the union regarding the strike. It was stated that after the conference a statement will be given out. At 1 o'clock the conference adjourned for dinner. Mr. Gompers was the oaly one who would speak regarding the de- liberations. He said the strike situation was discussed in all its phases; the finances were found to be in good condi- tion; the relief funds were coming in promptly and there was no reason why the strike should not continue without inflicting any hardship on the strikers. Mr. Gompers was asked whether it was proposed to levy an extra assess- ment in order to help the miners out. He declined to answer the question. He also refused to say whether the Ameri- ean Federation of Labor will be con- yened in extra session to take action on the strike. Working Force Increased. Tamaqua, Pa. Sept. 16.—Today the working force at Greenwood colliery, which resumed yesterday, was increased somewha- and the plant is now running apparently without difficulty. Last night 2 committee from the Tamaqua local of the United Mine Workers visited Supt. M. A. Gerber, and asked him to close the plant. This he refused du do. - The No, 4 and 12 collieries of the Le- high Coal & Navigation Company, the Smith-Myers washery and the Green- wood Coal Company combined shipped about 2000 tous of coal to market yester- iv. SEVENTEEN ARE DEAD. Coal Minere Entrapped by Explosion of Gas and Gunpowder Near Bluefields, W. Va. Bluefield, W. Va., Sept. 16.—Seven- teen men were killed by the explosion © gas and gun powder in the Big Vo. mine. Eleven bodies have been taken from the mine, and six more have been lo- cated, and will be removed as soou as the mine clears a little. The bodies so far recovered are those of negroes, except that of one white en- gineer named James Lester. It is almost certain that the seven- teen men now accounted for and two who escaped are all that were in the workings. H. F. Frankenfield, a mine boss, and George Gaspie, a Hungarian miner, suc- ceeded in crawling over the fallen coal and slate, after the explosion, to the rescuing party, and were taken out alive, although badly burned and nearly suffocated by the gas and smoke inhaled. The explosion is said to have been caused by an accumulation of gas catch- ing on fire from the lamp of a miner who was going to work, and this in turn fired six kegs of blasting powder that had been stored back in the mines. The explosion knocked down all of the brattices for a quarter of @ mile back towards the mine entrance, thus cutting of all of the air from the men im- prisoned bebind the debris. The coal is burning, and there’ is no hope of extinguishing the flames until a new air passage can be built to t'- point of the explosion. PREVENT PRIZE FIGHT. Attorney General of Kentucky Sues for Injunction Against McGovern- Corbett Meeting. Louisville, Ky., Sept: 16.—In accord- ance with instructions received from Gov. Beckham Attorney-General Pratt filed thYs morning in the Jefferson circuit court snit for an injunction, seeking to prevent the contest scheduled to take place. before fe Athletic Club next Monday night from being held in this city. The metion for the injunction will be argued Thursday morning and !t is ex- pected that a decision wil be handed down promptly. Should the decision be against the match the fighters’ attorneys say the case will be taken at once to the court of appeals and will be pushed through in ample time for the contest. ‘The defendants to the suit are: Terry McGovern, Sam H. Harris, his rasnagers Young Corbett, John F. Cor- bett, his manager; James J. Corbett, the referee; William F. Horton, owner of the Auditorium; Robert C. Gray, man- ager of the Southern Athletic Club, and C, E. Lamberton, sporting editor of a Cincinnati paper, as a stakeholder. The petition states that both Terry McGov- ern and Young Corbett are professional prize fighters and that in the fight each contestant will exert his ut- most efforts to disable his oep- ponent. The petition further de- clares that the proposed contest is merely a postponement of the fight ar ranged to take place before the Nutmeg Athletie Club in Hartford, Conn., where an egreemext was made to split the purse, 60 per cent. to the winner and 40 to the loser. It is alleged that the prize fight will bring together a dangerous assem- blage of many thousand persons which will have a demoralizing effect on the well being of the community and that the contest is contrary to the laws of the pes ha SEWING MACHINE TRUST. Several Big Concerns to be Merged in a Combine with Capital Steck of $30,000,000. Belvidere, Ill., Sept. 16.—It is learned on the highest authority that the organ- ization of a sewing machine trust, with a capital of $30,000,000, is about to be announced. The combination has been in the process of evolution for several weeks past, and the work of the ap- praisers is all that remains to complete the organization. The details of the plan were satisfactorily arranged at a meet ing of representatives of the leading sewing machine concerns of the country, held at the Waldorf-Astoria, in New Yord, recently. It is suid that Barnabas Hidredse of this city, president of the National Sew- ing Machine Company, will be at the head of the new concern. Mr. Hldredge refused to make a statement in regard to the company. Following are some of the prominent companies to be merged: New Home Company of Orange, Mass.; Household of Proyidenee, R.

Venzuelan Troops Compelled to Give Way Before Advance of Revolutionists. Willemstad, Island of Curacoa, Sept. 17.—President Castro of Venezuela hag retreated from Ocumare before the ad- vance of the revolutionists. ‘The Venezuelan government's situation is critical. Recent advices from Venezuela state that the battle in the vicinity of Tina- quillo between about 400 revolutionists and government forces of — about the same strength resulted in the defeat of the government forces and not in a vie- tory as was announced in a dispatch from Torres Cardenas, secretary of Pres- ident Castro, which set forth that Gen. Mendoza’s army had been annihilated September 8, uear Tinaquillo. The en- gagement of that date was only an ad- vance guard fight of no importance. The ‘real battle began September 11, and lasted four days, after which’ Gen, Garrido retreated on Valencia and eventually entered that city September 15, with about 2100 men, leaving the road free for the further advance on Cara- cas for the revolution army. The only other mo yenwens army in the field is the one whfth is under the per- ‘sonal command of President Castro, who “abandoned his posjtion precipitately be- fore the advance of the revolutionists who have occupied Ocumare. According to a report, the President intends to move his army to a poise near Valencia, join forces with the troops under Gen. Garrido and attack the revo- lutionary army commanded by Gen. Mendoza, From all points are reported deser- tions of government*soldiers to the ranks of the revolutionists and the general im- pression in Venezuela is that the last im- portant incident of the revolution is ap- proaching. PROTECT THE RAILROAD. Fifty Marines With a Small Rapid Fie Gun Are Landed. Colon, Colombia, Sept. 17.—American marines are now traveling as guards on the passenger trains to and from Pana- ma. The United States cruiser Cincinnati landed fifty marines today and also sent ashore a small rapid fire gun, which was placed on a railroad truck protected by iron plates. A small detachment of insurgents wus seen near Mindi station early today. The orice treops attacked the enemy immediately and drove them back. A colored woman who was in the vicinity of the scene of the skirmish was’ killed, GIVEN A WARNING Washington Authorities Send a Protest to Bogota Government. Washington, D, C., Sept. 17.—The lat- est development in the Colombian situa- ‘tion has called for a protest on the part of the United States to the government at Bogota. Secretary of the Navy Moody received a eablegram from Commander McLean, of the Cincinnati, in, which be reports that government soldiers placed obstrue-+ tions on the Isthmus railway while he was on his way to Panama, Accompanied by Commander Potter of: the Ranger and the United States consul, he called on Gen. Salazar, the command- er of the government troops, with whom! he had a friendly conference. { | Nevertheless on his return trip the commander found other obstructions on) 'the road and Colombian soldiers stand- ing immovable on the track. They jumped away, however, when the com- mander gave orders for the train to be moved on. It was found necessary to place a guard of marines on the trains to insure uninterrupted traffic. After a conference between Acting Secretary of State Adee and Secretary’ Moody, it is believed that a decision was reached to make representations to the Colombian government with a view to prevent a repetition of the incident. By the treaty of Granada, Colombia and the United States mutually guaran- tee free and uninterrupted traflic across the isthmus, and in the event that one or the other showed a disposition to in- terfere with free transit, it would be the; right of the other to step in and insure it. SCIENCE IS EMPLOYED AS A DIVINING ROD. Eminent Geologist to Aid Cleveland-Cliffs Company in Tracing Lost Vein of Iron. Duluth, Minn., Sept. 17.—There arei more ways than one for detecting the’ presence of a body of iron ore. One is experience in such matters and the other’ is seience. The Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company is bringing the latter to bear on the Vermillion iron range. Prof. H., L. Smith of ‘Cambridge, Mass., profes-' sor of*genology at Harvard College, and! J. E. Jopling of the Cleveland-Cliffs, Company have spent some days on the Vermillion range, and since their return to Duluth have been busy with. official eke and such other informatipn in that field. It is understood that the services of the eminent geologist have been obtained with a view to getting “a line” on ad- ditional iron ore deposits on the Vermil- lion. The iron formation is traceable nearly all the way between Bly and ‘Tower, but explorations have been, as a rule, discouraging between the two towns. If Prof. ‘Smith can inform the iron ore people what has become of tlie ore which it would naturally seem ought to lie between the two places, he will have solved one of the most interesting question that puzzles them now. The Cleyeland-Cliffs Iron Company is a new comer.in Minnesota so far as acquiring iron properties is concertied, but it is a pioneer in the Lake Superior region. GROWS MORE ALARMING. Two Towns May Be Wiped Out if the Forest Fires are Not Soon Checked. Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 17.—A tele- phone message from Grand Encampment says the forest fire situation is growing more alagming along the Wyoming-Colo- rado ‘line. The residents of Pearl, Col., and Encampment fear that unless the fires are soon checked the towns may be wiped out. The fires are creeping dan- gerously close to the mining camps and ranching settlements, and while no loss of life has been reported, it is feared iso- lated miners, prospectors and sheep herd- ers may get caught in the sea of flames sweeping over the district and perish be- fore aid can reach them. —————_-—___ Carpenter’s Helper Has a Fall.

Believes That the Union Will Be Maiu- tained and Improved Conditions for Men Secured. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Sept. 17.—President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, in a statement issued today, takes a hopeful view of the strike situa- tion, The statement is as follows: ~ At this time it is impossible to say ex- actly when the strike will terminaie, but, after careful inquiry into the situation at the mines, I am convinced that the struggle will end by agreement. The wage-earucrs and the general public are generously cou- tuibuting to the aid of the miners. It is essential that this ald be extended and continued. If the manhood of the miners is to be maintained they must at least have bread for their wives and little ones as well as for themselves, The declared attitude of the presidents of the anthracite ratlroads has not apparently changed. Despite this fact, I am fully convinced that the strike will’ end through agreement, with im- proved conditions for the miners, and the union maintained. (Signed) SAMUEL GOMPERS, President American Federation of Labor. Seek Employment Elsewhere. Pottsville, Pa., Sept. 17.—The exodus of anthracite mine workers continues from the Schuylkill region because the strikers have given’ up hope of an eitrly settlement. Today forty certified miners left for Wise county, Va., where they will be employed in the soft coal mines. A similar number left for the same point ten days ago and in a few days a earload of driver boys will go to West- moreland county, this state. They say they are promised good wages. It is estimated that 2000 mine work- ers have gone to the Irwin, Madison, Latrobe amd Greensburg bituminous coal fields and upwards of 7000 are said to have secured employment in the Pitts- burg district. Aid for the Strikers. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 17.—The United Brotherhood of, Carpenters and Joiners of America, whose biennial conyention is now being held in this city, today de- cided to contribute $10,000 to aid the anthracite coal striktrs in Pennsylvania. ‘The money will be sent to Secretary Wilson at Indianapolis.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 16.—Goy. Rich- ards has been informed by telephone from Grand Encampwent that for many miles along the Wyoming-Colorado line north of Pearl, Col., a furious forest fire is raging, devastating everything in its pat. aay effort to subdue the flames as been exhausted without effect. Gov. Richards immediately communicated with Goy. Orman of ‘Colorado and ar- ranged for both to send a felegram to os secretary of the intérior, asking for aid. According to the latest reports there are at least eighteen serious forest fires burning in Wyoming, to say nothing of numerous smailer fires in Southern <Al- bany county that are destroying great swamps of fine pine timber in the Medi- cine Bow range and threatening mining pulldings: Although 100 miles away from Cheyenne the smoke from these fires obscures the sky here and the odor of burning wood is plainly noticeable. The fires in Southern Carbon county ere burning fiercely, A government agent with a large force of men is on the ground but is reported to be making little progress, Five or more fires are burning in Fre- mont county and more than 300 square miles of magnificent timber land is al- ready in ashes. In central Uinta county a fire is burn- ing and in the Jackson Hole county two big blazes are eating the timber in the game country. Further east in the Sho- shone reservation fire has been burning for a_week, In Natrona county a good sized fire has been destroying timber for the past ten days. One big fire threatens the timber of the Big Horn mountains. Denver, Col., Sept. 16.—But little prog- ress toward checking the forest fires in different sections of the state is being made. At the head of Chicago creek the fire is again beyond control. A vast strip of territory has been burned over and it is feared that the towns along Clear creek will experience a shortage of water due to the fact that the fire has destroyed the protection to the snow beds. Henry Nicholson, United States forest supervisor, who is sip pet & the fight against the fire in the neighborhood of Cassels, at the head of Piatt ‘canyon, called upon the mining companies in that vicinity for assistance in fighting the flames and men were dispatched with complete equipment to his aid. The fire has burned for several weeks and has destroyed much valuable timber. Several summer resorts are in danger. The Estes eae fires are burning slow- ly, but stubborily resist all efforts to guench them. The fires in the neighborhood of EI- dorado have destroyed an immense quan- tity of rich timber. Washington, D. C., Sept. 16.—Secre- tary Hitchcock today received dispatches from the governors of both Colorado and Wyoming, appealing for government as- sistance in fighting a terrific forest fire that is raging*in government timber lands along the Colorado-Wyoming boundry line. Every effort will be made to do some- thing to reinforce the fire fighters, but it is not yet known what step will be taken. The department has frequently, but in- effectually, appealed to Congress to in- crease the appropriations for this pur- nose. SUICIDE BY SHOOTING. Naval Officer Who Was with the Maine at Time of Disaster in Havana Harbor Kills Himself. Boston, Mass., Sept. 16.—Lieut. John It. Morris, U. S. N., was found dead in his stateroom on the United States ship Olympia by a fellow officer yesterday. He had committed suicide by shooting with a revolver. Kensas City, Mo., Sept. 16.—The news of the suicide of Lieut. Morris on the Olympia in Boston harbor, while it was hardly expected by his friends here, was no surprise to them. Morris has had a weight of some kind on his mind ever since the blowing up of the Maine at Havana, and it is the general impres- sion here that his suicide is the indirect result of that disaster. Morris was an electrician on the Maine, with the rank of assistant engineer. When he visited here after his providential escape at Ha- vana he was very averse to talking about the matter, but his friends at the Kan- sas City Club and elsewhere gathered the impression that he knew the cause of the explosion and that it was not due to Spanish mines or torpedoes. They have always believed, from Morris’ ac- count, that the explosion was due to de- fective electric wiring on the Maine. See ee DUMPED ORE UPON HIM.

STORY OF TWO LETTERS. +7. dan Fraser and Jim Grant, his col- lege chum, met on a busy street of Ayr after a long separation. Dr. Fraser was Ayr’s most popular physician, and Grant was a Glasgow journalist. After a few hearty words of greeting Dr. Fraser dragged his friend home with Jn to din- ner. Half an hour later, as they sat in the doctor’s cozy bachelor rooms exchanging reminiscences across the dinner table, Jim’s eyes chanced to light upon a photo on a side table, and he grew pale. “You have a photo there that recalls some bitter memories to me,” he said. “Whose?” “Mrs. Forrest’s. You know her?” “Pretty well. She’s been one of my patients for a while,” and the doctor ilushed slightly. His friend observed it, and shook his head. “Tan, my lad, I can see you're becoming one of the moths.” “Why, what do you mean?” “I hope your wmgs have not been so badly singed at the flame as mine were. But let me explain. It was at-Brodick last summer that I met Mrs. Forrest for the first time. You know what she is like—young, not more than twenty-five, though four years a widow, beautiful as a Greek goddess, and fascinating beyond words. A few days of increasing inti- macy and I was blindly in love—ay, blindly! For three weeks I was at her beck and call. Then the awakening eame; and one night when I parted from her at the garden gate, the lips that had returned my kisses bade me a final good- by, with the smiling hope that 1 had spent a pleasant holiday.” He paused a moment, gazing bitterly at the photo, while the doctor’s face be- came hard and set. “T was one of the moths,” he contin- ued, with a mirthless laugh, “and I have since learned that we are quite a large and varied collection.” The doctor’s face was as pale as that of his friend, and his voice was husky as he said: “Pm sorry for you, lad; but perhaps you have saved me in time.” “Ah!” “Ay; she plays her cards well, and I’ve been blind, or I would have seen that. I met her for the first time about two months ago, when she had a cyeling ac- cident opposite my consulting rooms, and was brought in. She had sprained her ankle, she said, and after attending to it { drove to her house in Racecourse road. At her request I called occasionally, oft- ener than was necessary for all the in- jury that I eould discover. Then her daughter, Marjory, a dear little girl of 4, took whooping cough, and my visits, though nominally professional, gradually became more frequent and more friendly. During the last week I have been attend- ing her for a cold, and I had promised to call tonight; but after what I have heard I shall write a note of apology, and break off my relationship with her.” Three hours Jater this fascinating young widow who regarded her life’s mis- sion as the breaking of men’s hearts sat in her room with an open letter in her hand,her face changing color as she read: “Dear Mrs. Forrest: Cireumstances which I cannot here explain render it im- possible for me to keep my appointment tonight, or indeed to ciaim a continuance of our present relationship; and I beg that from this time you will cease to re- gard me either as your medical adviser or aequaintance. In the interests of both of us it is better that we should not meet aga, ond I hope, therefore, that you will let me pass as quickly out of your Kfe as L entered it. Yours truly, “IAN FRASER.” Her first fecling was of anger and in- jured pride, then €ame the consciousness that this man had stirred her heart a3 no other had ever done. “I will not lose him yet,” she ex- claimed. Tl. In the cool of the June eventide the two friends passed arm in arm along the sands, breathing the freshness of the sea beach and reveling in its freedom with the keen appreciation of the overworked. Across the firth rose the peaks of Arran purpled by the setting sun; in front the rock-built ruin of Greenan cas- tle stood clear against the amber sky. As they drew near the castle a young woman who sat reading at the base of the rock suddenly raised her head and jooked toward them. “Ha!” whispered Jim. “That's surely a fair specimen of Ayr’s bonnie lassies. Who is she?” “TI don’t know. I haven’t seen her be- fore. Certainly she’s very bonnie. But hilloa! what’s up?” The girl had sprang to her feet, and was gazing anxiously up and down the beach, Presently her eyes rested on the summit of the rock, her face grew white as death, and she stood a moment as if spellbound. Then, with a horrified ery ot “Marjory!” she had started toward the rock, and was struggling frantically up its steep side. An upward glance revealed to the doe- tor the cause of her action. At the base of the castle wall, some sixty feet above the beach, is a ledge of rock not more than a foot in width, along which the foolhardy delight to pass, and mistake PRINCE NICHOLAS’ BRIDE 1S POPULAR. ee PE rk tp A MM arereeae eter a ee ey ew Wee 2 eee / a Seere Goss ees tencreaee wis « Bee] es oo ae ee acces SS a Ry en ccreonea ee ie se tats oa ae tad 0 ee ae ee ENG N'A. cca oe a as sees | eed passe 2 = 2 NUR ee eet eT a et || ee ee |. ee bo ~ ee AY Tf N\ PF Me = LN — Da asA a he a.

These are the very latest pictures of th this madness for courage, when a single false step or a moment's giddiness will send them to a certain death upon the rocks below. Half way along this nar- row path, crawling on hands and knees, was the figure of a little girl, and the woman’s ery had helped the doctor to recognize the child as Marjory Forrest. A few great strides and the two men reached the foot of the rock together; side by side, with the nimble, sure-footed strength of the days when as boys they had climbed the cliffs around their High- land home, they dashed up its precipitous flank, passed the struggling woman half way and reached the top pantingly to- gether. Even as they turned the corner of the wall it seemed too late, for the little one lad become frightened, and was trying to turn back. There was no room, however; for a moment she swayed, then her child- ish hands slipped from the narrow ledge. and with a heartrending cry of “Aunty!” she fell. But not to death; for the sinewy form of the doctor shot forward across the ledge, and his hand caught the fluttering dress in a grip of iron, They found “Aunty” lying insensible at the foot of the rocks, down which she had fallen in her excitement, and, while Marjory kissed her white face, saying piteously—‘Aunty, aunty! T’ll be good now, aunty!” the two men worked to bring her back to consciousness. Presently she looked up, recognized the little girl with a glad ery, and made to clasp her to her breast, but her left arm dropped helplessly, and she closed her lips as if in pain. “Ah!” said the doctor, running _ his fingers over her arm; “you've broken it. Let me put it right!” “It’s very good of you to take so much trouble,” she said, with a slight blush, lowering her eyes beneath his gaze. “Not at all; it’s quite in my line; I’m a doctor, you know!” He had broken his own walking-stick and Jim’s into splints, and was bandag- ing her arm, handling it with a touch that was tender as a caress; and, as his friend afterward declared, taking so long and fumbling so foolishly over it as to endanger his professional reputation in the eyes of his patient if she had been less interested in himself and more in his work, “What a terrible thing it would have heen if you hadn’t come in time,” she said, with a shudder. “I’m glad we were at hand—for Mar- jory’s sake. She and I are old acquaint- ances. By the way, as a mutual friend she might have introduced us. My name’s Ian Fraser. This is my friend, Jim Grant.” “Mine is Mona Forrest. I'm Marjory’s aunt! T’'ve just come over from Canada for a three months’ holiday, and am go- ing to spend a weck or two with my sister-in-law. Marjory’s father was my lonly brother. I arrived in Ayr yesterday morning.” The doctor had finished his bandaging and giving her his hand he helped her to her feet, only to find that the fall had twisted her ankle, and she was now un- able to use it. Half an hour later Jim arrived with a cab, and the four drove to Fernton villa, in Racecourse road. Dr. Fraser’s meeting with Mrs. Forrest, coming so soon after the reception of his letter, was naturally strained: but each was more than willing now that the visits should be renewed, though for quite different reasons. There is no need to tell of the weeks that followed, the daily visits. In due course the crisis came; and one night Dr. Fraser turned away from the front door of Fernton villa, staggering down the stairs like a man who is ill. She had gone. This fair Canadian girl who had given him the right to speak of love, an Lad become the center of his every earth- ly hope and espiration, had left him without one word of warning, one breath ‘of farewell. qT. Another fortnight had dragged wearily past, and Dr. Fraser, pale and hollow- eyed, was crossing the Low Green when he eame upon. little Marjory Forrest. She was sitting upon a seat undressing a large doll which she had already re- cuced to a state of semi-nudity, and she hailed his coming with delight. “Oh, doctor” she cried, gleefully. “come and vacksnate Dolly!” “Vaccinate Dolly ?” “Yes; same as everybody.” |. Smiling at this reference to the small- pox scare, then at its height, he took the doll in his hand, and, as he turned it over, the stamped corner of an envelope protruding from under the solitary gar- ment which it now wore caught his eye. He withdrew the envelope, but as he glaneed at the writing the laugh died from his lips and his face grew white. It was addressed to “Miss Mona For- rest,” the writing was his own, and there was a letter within. “Where did you get this?” he demand- ed quickly. “I got it under aunty’s pillow after she go away.” “Does your mother know about it?” . “No; I just put it on Dolly’s chesi. Aunty not want it, 1 think, ’cause it make her ery. “Ah!” He took the letter out and read it. The secret was revealed. It was the letter which he had written to Mrs. For- rest at the time of his friend’s visit, but with two slight alterations that had made a world of difference in its effect. He had written that letter in June, using the Roman number (VI.) to indicate the month. This simply altered to VIIL, an “s” added to “Mrs.” and a dot over the somewhat indistinet “r” had changed the title to “Miss” and brought the date uj to the time of his letter to Mona with bitter aptitude. There was but one woman who could hold the key to the mystery, and he sought her without de- Jay. Half an hour later he left the house with flushed face, but a glad light in his eves, for he had wrung from Mrs. For- rest the confession of her deceit. That night in the bedroom of a London | notel a woman with two telegrams under ‘her pillow lay awake through the weary hours, sighing for the dawn: and in the early morning, when she stool on the platform of St. Paneras station await- ing the arrival of the Scotch express, a tail figure leaped from the still moving train, clasped her in his arms, and, heed- less of the crowd, pressed his lips to hers in a never to be forgottea kiss of re- , wnion.—New York Daily News. PENNIES ON THE CEILING. A New Method of Collecting Charity Funds. | The landlords of some of the public houses in the poorest districts in the East Wand have invented a new method of coi- lecting money for the hospitals. They ‘recognize the fact that the average mai is usually charitably disposed when he is ‘in a public house, and so they give him a ‘chance to do some good with his money. Incidentally, they also furnish him with a little innocent amusement. While the ‘man is sipping his drink the landlord vostentatiously takes a penny from his till. He next produces a thin siice from a cork with a tin tack run through the center. He then places the piece of cork on the top of the penny and wraps them in a piece of thin colored paper. ‘The paper is screwed up tightly, so that the point of the tin tack pierces it, and is twisted in the form of a “tail.” When the landlord has completed these mys- terious preparations he throws the penny wrapped in the paper up to the ceiling. The tack goes into the ceiling and the pen- ny in the colored paper remains up there. eee the “tail” is cut into ribbons, and sometimes two or three pieces of paper of different colors are used. In any case the customer wants “to have a try.” The landlord furnishes the cork and the tin tack and the colored paper. The customer finds the penny. With a very little practice any one can make a penny stick on the ceiling, and so, in course of time, the ceiling becomes gay with col- ored streamers of paper. When the ceil- ing is full the pennies are pulled down and sent toa ea the fun begins all over again.—London Graphic. An Eccentric Will. An aged Yorkshireman was so fond of Sir Henry Irving’s acting that in his will he said that when he died his body was to be buried headless, and the skuil was to be cleaned and mounted, suitably inscribed with a silver inscription and handed to the actor, with the request that it be always used for Yorick’s skull in the presentations of “Hamlet.” a a sa seh Large South African Coal Field.

The shorthorn sale was largely attend- ed by farmers from all parts of the state and a large number of young cattle of the shorthorn breed was sold at very fair Lens The sale was conducted un- der the auspices of the Wisconsin Short- horn Breeders’ Association, and was an experiment this year. It will be fol- lowed in subsequent years a sales of other breeds of Wisconsin cattle. The best price paid for young short- horn cows at the sale on the grounds today was $275. The average pe paid for twenty-six head of young Cows was Po nearly all of which were bought by go, Bardolf & Oo. of Iowa. Several cows were sold to Wisconsin farmers. phe best pee paid for a bull was $230 ‘or a 10-months-old specimen, and one 6-months-old brought Bi70. The bulls were not, however, in the very best show condition and they sold slowly. Cost of Wreck. The wreck was a great success. Two locomotives named “La Follette” and “Rose” were started at full speed on a track 1000 feet in length. The engines crashed into each other with facet force and both were demolished. The feature gave the spectators an idea of a railway collision. The actual cost to the state board of giving the railway wreck, to which is at- tributed the success as to attendance this year, was $4500. Today the wrecked sage were sold, as scrap iron, to Henry ‘arschauer, a junk dealer on Cherry ‘street, for $1100, so that the actual expense will be a little over $3000. A Night Show the Attraction Next Year. “It the Legislature next winter agrees to the idea, we will undoubtedly have a night show next year, giving races by electric light and Presenting other at- tractions by night,” said President Mc- Kerrow this morning. “This feature for next year rests, of course, with the Leg- islature.

Dispatch Received in New York Stating that All on Board the Windward Were Quite Well. New York, Sept. 16.—Lieut. R. E. Peary, who sailed for the polar regions July 2, 1898, is on his way home. A dis- patch was received from him by Herbert L. Bridgman, secretary of the Peary Arc- tic Club. The dispatch was dated at Chateau bay, on the coast of Labrador, and con- tained the brief statement that all on board the Windward are well. No ref- erence was made to the results of the expedition. The “last news from Lieut. Peary di- vect was contained in a letter at Fort Conger, on April 4, 1901. In that letter the explorer sumnfarized the work he had already accomplished, as follows: First—The rounding of the northern limit of the Greenland archipelago, the most northerly known land in the world; proba- * the most northerly land. cond—The bighest latitude yet attained in the Western Hemisphere; 83 degrees 50 minutes north. Third—The determination of the os ce socalied “poleocrystie ice” (foe Wife and Child with Him. On the Windward with Lieut Peary are Mrs* Peary and their danghter, who was born in Greenland on September 12, 1893. They sailed last July to meet the Seow and acrmeeyy him-home. jeut. Peary made his fifth and last voyage to northern Greenland in the steamer Windward, presented to him by Alfred ~Tiarmsworth of London. He sailed from New York July 2, 1898, with the best equipped expedition ever sent into the polar regions up to that tizae. His primary objective point was Sherard Osborne Fiord, an extreme northing for a ship. The condition of ice and water proved unfavorable and the Windward was frozen up near Cape Durville, falling ts of Sherard Osborne Fiord 150 miles, Loses Seven of His Toes. But Peary was undaunted and speed- ily devised a plan adaptabie to the al- tered conditions. He determined on a land march to Fort Conger, the home af the ill starred Greely expedition at Lady Franklin bay, which had then been fif- teen years isolated, and from there he would attempt his poleward march. He started for Fort Conger in the i 24 days of December, 1898, with his two comrades—Dr. Dederick and Matthew Henson, a colored man—and on New Year's day a snow storm beset them and they lost their way. At last, on January 6, they found the abandoned Greely -station and made themselves as comfortable as could be expected, but Peary’s feet had been frostbitten during the storm, and seven of his toes had to be amputated. This mischance destroyed all prospect of a polar campaign for that season. The Windward was freed in August, 1899, after a year’s imprisonment, and Lieut. Peary retired to tah, near Cape York, the entrance gate to the desolate northland. Etah is the home of the Eskimos, or Arctic Highlanders, who provided him with men and Es and among them he decided to, spend the winter of 1899-1900, sending the ship back to St. John’s, N. F., for repairs. Mrs. Peary’s Arctic Winter. The repairs to the Windward were completed early in 1900 and the — sailed on the return voyage on July 20, accompanied by Mrs. Peary and her little daughter. The steamer did not find the explorer and his party, nnd from September, 1900, until July, 1901. Mrs. Peary and her daughter waited, the Windward fast in the ice at Payer har- bor, near Cape Sabine. Lieut. Peary_had wintered at Port Conger, only 150 miles from the Wind- ward, and did not know that his wife and child were so near. Mrs. Peary returned to New York late in the year 1901 and at one began preparations for re-equipping the Wind- ward for its last voyage to the arctic. What Has He Accomplished? It is known that Lieut. Veary was an indefatigable explorer, but little has been reported of the actual work ac- complished. It is known that he estab- lished the fact, definitely, that Green- land is an island, and that its northern extremity is 83.39 degrees. Between this point and the north pole is an ice- bound sea. It was the lieutenant’s pur- pose to start from the north coast of Greenland, in a dash for the pole, dur- ing the winter of 1901-02. Whether he did this, or, if he did, hoav far he went, is not known. QUEEN MAKES SPEECH. Wilhelmina Discusses Domestic Affairs in Opening the Netherlands Parliament. The Hague, Sept. 16.—Queen Wilhel- mina opened the Staats General in per- son today. She appeared to have com- pletely recovered from her illness. She was accompanied by her husband, Prince Henry, and the Queen mother. The Queen's referenece to the foreign affairs in the speech from the throne was con- fined the statement that the relations of the Netherlands with foreign powers con- tinned very friendly. The rest of the speech was devoted to domestic affairs. The Queen said that although the Dutch shipping trade had been affected by the crisis which had arisen elsewhere the condition of the commerce and industry of the Netherlands remained satisfactory and that of agriculture was not unfavorable. Labor eonditions were improving, but there was much room for betterment. Among the bills announced were measures increasing educational fa- cilities, restricting compulsory vaccina- tion, pensioning teachers, regulating lot teries, abolishing the state lottery and amending the sugar law. ss News Agency in London Receives Report of Whoiesale Slaugh- ter.

Nicholas Fish Slugged in Germae Beer Hall in New York. 1 BADGER GAME VICTIM. Three Women Smile at Him While Stand-' ing on the Corner—Follows Them Into ' Saloon and Assailant Appears Later. New York, Sept. 16.—The police are making a thorough investigation into the death of Nicholas Fish, the banker, who was found with his skull fractured in front of a saloon in West Thirty-fourth street and who died early this morning in Roosevelt Hospital. Thomas Sharkey, 48 years old, a private detective; Mrs. Libbie J. Phillips, 38 years old, and Mrs. Nellie Casey, 30 years old, were arrested today in connection with the cases. | _ The banker left his office in the Na- tional Park Bank building in the after- acon and was approaching a German beer hall at 265 West ‘rhirty-fousth street, At the same time three women seme up the street toward the salooa. Mr. Fish was standing on the corner nearly opposite. As the women passed they noticed him and bowed to him, He ‘followed them into the saloon and they were inside the place for nearly two hours, Then the unknown man came in quickly and a quarrel was started. Fish Did the Buying. 5 According to the police Mr, Fish en- tered the saloon with Mrs. Phillips and Mrs. Casey. Sharkey, who knew the women, was not reluctant to join the party when one of the women_ invited him to. The police say that Fish did most of the buying. Fish then dis- covered that his money was exhausted and he announced that he would have to draw a check. Sharkey ee tioned his ability to make his check good. Fish, it is said, took offense at this and angry words ensued. Th according to the police, someone slapped Fish’s face. One of the women, clinging to Fish’s arm, dragged him toward the door of the saloon and out to the side- walk. Sharkey followed and he and Fish encountered each other on the side- walk. There was a scuffle and Fish fell or was knocked down, his head at a flagstone. After Fish fell, it is sai that Sharkey boarded a car, closely fol- lowed by Mrs. Phillips, who was carry- ing his hat. Fish way lying on the street when a policeman appeared. The officer ealed an ambulance from Roosevelt Hos- pital. Fish’s identity was not learned until the hospital was reached and his clothing searched. As soon as it was learned who he was he was entered aa a private patient. Prisoners are Held. Mrs. Casey, Mrs. Phillips and Sharkey were arraigned today in police court and were held for the coroner. A detective said to the sitting magistrate that the prisoners were arraigned as suspicious persons in connection with the death of Nicholas Fish. Mrs. Casey denied all knowledge of the case. Mrs. Phillips, when questioned on the case, said: “You'll find out later.” Coroner Jackson held Sharkey in $10,000 bail and Mrs. Phillips and Mrs. Casey in $500 bail each as witnesses. Sharkey’s Statement. Sharkey made the following statement reliminary to his arraignment: “I went Into Ehrhard’s and saw there two women with whom I am. acquainted. They called out when they saw me to come over and haye a drink. I went over and sat down with them and after I had talked to them some this banker, Fish, seemed to take offense at my being there. We had a few words and ail at once he drew off with him arm and struck me. Then we both got up. I went out ong door and he the other. He must have fallen down the steps and falien in going out.” Banker Fish, who was 53 years old, was the descendant of one of the oldest and most distinguished of American fam- ilies. His grandfather, Col. Nicholas Fish, fougitt with distinction in the bat~ tles of Harlem Heights, Saratoga and Yorktown, and his father, Hamilton Fish, was the first secretary of state un- der President Grant. . After several years in the diplomatie service he entered the banking business in this city in 1887. Of his brothers, Hamilton is fornier Republican speaker of the New York Assembly and Stuy- vesant is president of the Illinois Cen- tral Railroad Company. ald aa NEENAH CARNIVAL OPENS. eee Crowds Gather from Aj! the Neighboring Cities and Towns—Programme for the Week.

Reform Put to Shame The publication of an open statement relative to the book agents deal in defeating the renomination of State Supt. of Public Instruction Harvey over the signatures of Senator J. H. Stout and exSpeaker of the Assembly George H. Buckstaff furnished the political sensation of the week. Theodore Kronshage, president of the Milwaukee Free Press Co., publishers of the "Half-breed" organ, and chief proctor of the "reform" governor, La Follette, betook himself to Chicago just prior to the state convention and sought a purchaser in the open market at the highest option from a clique called the "Independent Book Companies." The sum of $2000 was reluctantly given Mr. Kronshage as his mess of pottage for his pound of flesh and he forthwith sought to deliver the goods. The money was brought to Milwaukee, placed on deposit in the bank, and the check therefor sent to Gov. La Follette. Poor Harvey had to go as he had to be thus sacrificed to vent the governor's petty spleen and, incidentally, raise $2000 towards a campaign fund. The La Follette combine carried out the deal with the audacity befitting the Chicago Common Council, even though it lacked in cunning and dispatch. It was a bungling job at best, but inasmuch as the governor was hard up and in "need of the money" he had to have it, no matter from what source it came. Mr. Kronshage, in extenuation of the crime, admitted that he sent a certificate of deposit to the governor immediately after the deal was closed. It will be remembered about that time the "Half-breed" organization, having drifted into a comatose condition, suddenly became renascent and Col. Murphy began to flood the state with distorted literature. How long the money lasted in the hands of the governor and to what actual purpose it was put is immaterial at this time, suffice it to say that the governor accepted the unclean lucre and exhibited no signs of conscious disturbance thereafter. Both Messrs. Stout and Buckstaff are gentlemen whose integrity is unimpeachable. They have been supporters of the governor and his themes of reform, but at the same time were friendly to both Mr. Harvey and Senator Spooner. They attempted to counsel with the governor against the iniquity, but the latter put them off by saying he was too busily engaged with the preparation of his speech and could not be bothered. They sought to bring the matter before the convention, but that body had evidently been given the tip by fac-to-tum Kronshage and the game wardens and oil inspectors hissed their efforts and turned the convention into a howling mob. This is the most dastardly outrage that has ever been perpetrated by an executive of this state elected by the votes of Republicans. That La Follette has disgraced himself and the party is evident to all. His attempt to humiliate a great man like Senator Spooner in the face of recent events is indeed pathetically ludicrous. Like the proverbial calf with too much rope, he has become entangled in a maladorous scandal, the stench of which recalls to mind the memory of the malfeasance of Democratic Gov. William Taylor. It is about time this "apostle of reform" began his argument in rebuttal. A Warning to the Republican Party. The Milwaukee News very aptly calls attention to a fact unknown to many, but long since recognized by leading Negro citizens throughout the country, to the effect that the Negro is the balance wheel upon whose pivot depends the success of the Republican party in the Middle West. In the states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, where the population is large, the Negro is a potent political factor. With the constant ignoring by the administration of the appeals of this class of voters for recognition and failure to protect the political rights that have been guaranteed by the Constitution, the time may soon prove opportune for the Negro to exert this power to his own advantage. Since the leaders of the Republican party are reluctant to grant the Negro that which is his due it may be well to remind them in time that the race will no longer beg the loaves from the party table and be contented with the crumbs. As a race we will demand in the future and if our demands are not acceded to we will resort to the use of the ballot— the most formidable weapon of civil liberty: We entertain a very high estimation of President Roosevelt, personally, and are in complete sympathy with his foreign and most of his domestic policies, but believe his attitude toward the elimination of the Negro and his attempt to build up a white Republican party in the South to be a fatal mistake and will redound against the party sooner or later. There can be no class distinction within the fold of the party if it is to continue in power as the exponent of the principles of a republican form of government. The race heretofore has received substantial recognition by appointment to official federal positions at the hands of the President, but under the present regime these positions have been given to the whites in the hope of building up a so-called new party in that section which considers itself too good to affiliate with the blacks. This policy proved to be a disastrous failure when President Hayes first attempted it. The removal of the federal troops from the South where Gen. Grant had kept them for the purpose of enforcing the laws vouchsafed by the national Constitution to the enfranchised Negro was attended by outrageous and brutal murders by wholesale and which resulted in the adoption of a "shot-gun" policy at a fearful cost of human life. The class of Southern white men whom Mr. Roosevelt is trying to enlist in the ranks of the party are for revenue only and are not prompted by a change of political conviction. As long as the President continues to parcel out fat federal patronage he will find alleged converts to the party principles, but when they cease to receive presidential preferment, they will also cease to affiliate with the G. O. P. The removal of the troops by President Hayes brought into existence the "Ku Klux" and the "Red Shirts," bands of organized outlaws, whose sole object and mission were to torture and kill Negroes for attempting to vote the Republican ticket. The bounty placed upon sugar a few years since by the Republican party gave birth to what is known in Louisiana as the "Lily whites," an organization composed of sugar planters who became "Republicans" for the 2 cents per pound paid them on their product. If this is the intention of President Roosevelt to practice this kind of proselytism he may succeed in building up a few bastard factions within the party but at the expense and loss of tens of thousands of black votes within the great middle West. To successfully reconstruct the average Southern white man to the principles of law and order he must be regenerated by a change of heart rather than prompted by the bribery of office. But the worm may turn. The Negroes are fully alive to the situation and we warn the party leaders not to be too hasty in their zeal to drive them from the open field to cover. We ask only that which is just and right; we want nothing more and will be satisfied with nothing less. Drawing the Color Line. The action at Northwestern University in shutting Negro lady students out of the dormitories, is another instance of the wave of race prejudice sweeping over the country. It is not a matter of social contact, but of social recognition. The slave-holding women of the "old South" had their personal slaves, women who waited upon them, performed every service for them, were constantly about them. No offense was ever taken by the white woman. Her slave made her bed, cared for her person, rode in the same carriage with her, had, in fact, every sort of association with her, but simply was not recognized as a social equal. There was the whole point. This is the case now. The spirit of aristocracy is abroad in the land. The development of the country, the increase of wealth, the formation of woman's clubs, and other agencies which thrust women to the fore, all have engendered an itching desire to be noticed by the "better classes," and to prove onesself of superior standing. So the color line must be drawn, and is drawn. It only shows how much alike human nature is, and how unreal all our boasts of American independence of thought and equality. This is the only people who draw the color line; who claim to be the leaders of thought, the leading nation of the earth, the most advanced exponents of the teachings of Christ. They draw the line which stigmatizes and dishonors beautiful, refined, pure hearted, earnest women, because a bit taint of the Negro blood, which also God has made, is in them. It is to be hoped that this institution, the leading representative of the grand old Methodist church, will find the courage to deal rightly and truly with this question. "For Justice All Place a Temple, and All Seasons Summer." A white man was arrested upon the heinous crime of criminal assault committed upon a 13-year-old girl in the town of Rollin, Langlade county, Wis., this week, pleaded guilty when arraigned before Judge Silverthorn at Wausau the following day and was sentenced to state's prison at Waupun to fifteen years at hard labor. The newspapers, instead of using glaring headlines as they did in the case of Carter, the Negro who was charged with committing rape upon a half-witted woman of forty or more years of age and frightened into pleading guilty to a crime of which he was innocent, in Dane county, near Madison, a few weeks ago, merely commented upon the summary justice that had been dealt by the court in dispensing with the case with dispatch within a two-inch paragraph. We do not wish to reopen the case of the poor, degraded and equally half-witted Negro, as it is not the purpose of this paper to condone crime, wherever and by whomsoever it may be committed, but it does seem strange to find such antipathy and hair-splitting discrimination against the Negro by the press of a Northern commonwealth. Had the offender in this case been either a Chinese or a Negro, the wild imagination of the callow youths who represent the reportorial staff of the Associated Press would have run riot. Threats of uprising by the populace to do mob violence and the proverbial imaginary bloodhounds which every good sheriff is supposed to keep in irons just for such an occasion, even though it seldom happens, would be called into requisition and put upon the burly brute's trail. Public sentiment would have been aroused to the highest pitch against an innocent people and to the detriment of every one, directly or indirectly concerned. The managing editors of the dailies in the majority of instances are men of mature age and experience, whose judgment of what constitutes the truth in the way of news should be well balanced and conservative. It is, therefore, amazing to the average law-respecting citizen that such drivel should pass the notice of this functionary unchallenged and allowed to reach the eyes and outrage the sensibilities of the public. The editor who fails to weigh the matter of news from the viewpoint of veracity is either a knave or a blunderbuss. We hope the press of this state will hereafter be more fair in its dealings with the nationalities of mankind and will not attempt to usurp the functions of the courts by pre-judgment. Anniversary of the Death of McKinley. Since our last issue the first anniversary of the death of President McKinley has passed. The wheel of time has made the revolution of one year since the dread announcement of the death of our beloved President startled the civilized world and saddened the heart of the nation. The pall of sorrow still hovers over us and the memory of the sad scenes of a year ago are as vivid to the mind's eye as if it were but yesterday. Mr. McKinley, the ideal Christian American, will long be remembered by his countrymen as having lived a life of patriotic devotion to country, and his sagacicus wisdom will continue to guide its destinies for time indefinite. His memory will endure and be revered longest, however, for the pure domestic nature of his life, both as a private citizen and beside the family hearthstone. His tender devotion to his mother, father, wife and friend will be remembered as long as the memory of man endureth. The Negro, in common with other Americans, gave expression to his sympathy through the pulpit and press; and none more sincerely feel the poignant sting caused by the death of Mr. McKinley than he. "Long" Jones. the chronic Chicago office-seeker, has transplanted himself and his methods into Wisconsin and has attempted to graft himself on the voters of Waukesha county. A gentleman who has known him all his life has this to say of him: "Jones is a 'dead' one. He is a back number." He has been out for office so long that he is regarded as an old chestnut. No one pays any attention to him. The only time Jones knows a Negro is when he is running for office; after that he cares no more for him than for a yellow dog. Sam Anderson, a Negro of Waukesha, conducted the campaign which laid him on the shelf two years ago, and he is doomed to the same dose this year. NEWS NOTES.

Horses are Overworked. The majority of the horses are overworked, both in speed, weight to be carried or drawn, and duration of hours of toil, to say nothing of their suffering from hunger and thirst, the lash of the whip, the constant stoppages and restarting necessary to crowded traffic, and the torture of the bearing rein. To put a sunbonnet on the head of this much abused brute is a sheer mockery.—Medical Press A Leaung Waukesha Lawyer a Possible United States Senator. In event of a Democratic victory in Wisconsin this fall and the election of a Democratic Legislature, it is stated by Democrats who are in a position to know that Hon. T. E. Ryan of Waukesha, J. M. S. whose profile appears above, will be the choice of his party for the position of United States senator to succeed Senator Spooner. Mr. Ryan is the local attorney for the C., M. & St. Paul R. R., the Milwaukee Electric Light and Railway Company and a member of the Democratic national committee. He received the honorary vote of the Democratic members of the Legislature when J. V. Quarles was elected in 1899. Like Senator Spooner Mr. Ryan is an able defender of the Negro and he would fill the office with credit if elected. waukesha News. Messrs.

The problem of exactly how St. Pierre and its inhabitants were destroyed is still before us. There are two theories: 1. The heat-blast theory. This assumes that the lapilli, gases and steam of the cloud were ejected with sufficient initial force to destroy buildings from two to five miles distant, and were sufficiently hot to inflame the city and destroy the people by singeing, suffocation, and asphyxiation. 2. The aerial gas explosion theory. This postulates that the weight of the cloud, causing it to descend, the exhaustion of air, the flame, and the great aerial force developed, were the products of an explosion caused by the union of the gases of the cloud with the oxygen of the air, but near the surface of the ground. From whatever point of view the subject is approached, all the evidence focuses upon a single deduction: that there was a terrific aerial explosion within the cloud after it erupted from the mountain, which developed tremendous destructive forces, and that the situation of St. Pierre adjacent to the bluff behind it was such that reverberation caused therefrom assisted in its destruction. The position of the cliffs enclosing the area of devastation would have had much to do with the destruction of St. Pierre, inasmuch as places outside of the cliff-bound amphitheater and upon the edge of the plateau above its depth were spared from destruction. The aerial explosion, if it occurred, involves the presence within the cloud of a combustible gas, but science is still unable to state its nature. The distinguishing of explosive gases involves a faculty of scientific specialization which the writer does not possess; but as sudden and mysterious as was the great secret, it has left its traces and clues, which the detectives of science will follow up. Metal surfaces of objects in the ruins will be examined and analyzed for traces of sulphur and chlorids. The deposits from the numerous steaming fumaroles are already within the chemical laboratory. Even the ash and rocks of the island will be submitted to minute investigation. Haunting my mind is a hypothesis which may be but a dream, and which cannot be proved, yet is one which would explain all the phenomena. On that fateful morning two clouds erupted almost simultaneously from the mountain, one following the other at a slight interval. The first of these came from the open flue of the summit chimney and floated southward horizontally toward Mont Vert. In this cloud developed a violent storm of electrical discharges. The second came from lower down the mountain at the spot probably known as La Soufriere or L'Etang Sec. The ejecta from the latter vent were not from an open flue, as the summit cloud, but were from the initial explosion of an ancient vent long clogged up by an accumulation of old material and sulphurous gases. Being heavy with gases, and while rolling toward the city, what would have happened had that host of electrical sparks from the upper cloud flashed into the lower aerial mass of superheated gases, even though they had otherwise refrained from already uniting with the oxygen?—Prof. Hill in September Century. Water Cure Three Centuries Old. A correspondent of the Boston Transcript calls attention to the fact that the "water cure" was employed by the Dutch nearly three centuries ago. In Martin's history of the Indian empire an account is given of the struggles of the European powers to secure the rich trade with the East Indies. In 1623 the Dutch seized the Japanese at Amboyna and subjected them to torture to make them confess to a conspiracy. "Each victim was placed on the rack and compelled to inhale water at every attempt to draw breath until his body became inflated and he swooned, was recovered and the same horrible process repeated." Smallest Massachusetts Town. Gosnold, the smallest town in Massachusetts, comprises those little specks of land which, beginning at Woods Holl at the "shoulder" of old Cape Cod's right arm, extend seaward till they terminate in that fatal reef of the Sow and Pigs. The Benefit cf Fads. If you haven't a fad acquire one. Fads are the charm of life. A fad may be anything; some people make a fad of their work, and better work would be done if more of us tried it; but if you get enough of your work in working hours take up something else. The trouble with a great many young men who go the way they shouldn't go is that they have nothing to occupy their minds, nothing in which they are interested. When spare time comes it hangs heavily on their hands. The natural inclination is to be sociable, and that leads to taking a drink. That in turn leads to more drinks, and by and by the crash comes. If you are interested in something, if you are fascinated with it, time will fly swiftly and you will be happy. Take up something—golf, amateur photography, physical culture—anything that will arouse your enthusiasm and hold it. You won't know yourself in six months. It will get your mind out of a rut, get it off yourself, and you will be broader, stronger and better for having been the possessor of a fad.—Toledo Bee. A Negro Dehorned. A negro who has for years been exhibited as the wild man from Forneo has had his horns removed at Syracuse Hospital. They were attached to a silver plate skillfully inserted under the scalp.

Railroads are the great civilizers, for they give the settler as well as the manufacturer equal opportunity to work in undeveloped fields, thereby rapidly settling the country and bringing forth its undiscovered riches. Northern Wisconsin is rich in iron ore, clay, kaolin, marl, timber and fine farm lands. It has made many a settler independent and added to the wealth of manufacturers who have sought this territory. Opportunities have not passed, as there is still a generous supply of land which can be obtained at low figures and on easy terms. THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL BY Was one of the first roads to penetrate the vast Northern Wisconsin Wilderness which stretches across the State from east to west. It, also, has developed from year to year and today offers the best of transportation facilities, enabling all to ship the products of that section to any market in the world.

FARMS AND How to Roll Barbed Wire. The illustration shows a home-made device for rolling barbed wire which will work well and enable one to handle the wire without trouble. Use any sort of a small barrel and nail the ends in tight and see that all hoops are securely fastened on. On the center of each end or head nail a block of wood thick enough to be above the level of the edges of chimes. Through this bore a hole into the barrel. Make handles of material an inch thick, two inches wide and five feet long. Take an iron rod, pass it through the ends FOR ROLLING BARBED WIRE. of the handles and through the barrel, as shown in the cut, fastening at the ends with a nut. Nail a piece of board across the handles, or use iron bars, if possible, to stiffen the handles, and the machine is complete. Stretch the wire out on the ground, fasten one end to the barrel and then simply roll the barrel over the wire until the latter is wound around the barrel. Hay in Round Bales. The cylindrical bale has become very popular for hay and cotton, and many shippers are discarding their old presses to get one that will press it in this form. The standard bale is eighteen inches in diameter and thirty-six inches long. The pressure used in packing for home use puts about two hundred pounds in such a bale, but when intended for export they use higher pressure and get in about 275 pounds. A bale put up for army use is but half as long, or eighteen inches, and weigs about 140 pounds. It is calculated that a good pack horse or mule will travel with one of these on each side, and they can go where the army wagons could not. Thousands of tons of these round bales have been shipped to our army in the Philippines, and a large amount to the British army in South Africa. In this form a given weight of hay is compressed into about one-half the space that it occupied in the square bale, and the fact that it does not pack as closely in car or vessel, there being spaces between the bales, which prevents moulding, preserves the sweetness of the hay, and the close pressure in the bale reduces the combustibility. For cotton many of the same advantages are claimed for the round bale, that is, getting more in small space and reducing the danger from fire.—American Cultivator. Cutting Potatoes for Seed. Here are some outline drawings showing how to cut potatoes for seed. In the first case the potato is cut in two pieces; in the second and third, in three and four respectively. By cutting potatoes as indicated about ten POTATOES CUT FOR SEED. POTATOES CUT FOR SEED. bushels of seed are required per acre. Much of the success with the crop depends on starting right. With a good strong growth at the start the battle is half won. The other half of the battle may be won by proper spraying and tillage. The Strawberry Pests. The most objection to continuing to keep the strawberry bed in one place for several years is not the exhaustion of the soil, because the fertility can be applied. It is not the matting of the row, because after runners have put out into the paths between them, if they are worked mellow and enriched, the old row of plants can be cut out, leaving the path there, and the new plants can be thinned, if too abundant, and the weeds can be taken out, but insect pests are so numerous now that it may be easier to set a new bed than to try to kill them. There are more than a dozen that are well known, and the root borer, crown borer, stalk borer, leaf rollers, cutworms and grubs are probably those which do the most damage. Nearly every one of these can be found in the soil as eggs, larvae or pupa soon after the fruit is picked, and when any of them have been especially troublesome, we would advise the setting a new bed at some distance from the old one, and plowing up the old bed in August, which will destroy most of them. If any plants are taken from FARMERS the old bed to set in the new one, wash all soil from their roots before they are set, to prevent carrying the pest to the new bed, and reject all that are not strong and vigorous.—American Cultivator. Our Farmer Aristocrats. Tales of sudden wealth are quite common in the famous Kansas and Oklahoma wheat belt; fine houses, modern in every appointment, are the rule; rubber-tired buggies and automobiles are nothing to attract attention. In certain communities even the farmer has grown metropolitan to the extent of building an opera house on a school lot and securing some of the best attractions in the theatrical line. It was not until the present winter that Wichita could afford a guarantee for certain notable singers. Among those occupying front seats were well-known wheatgrowers. Farmers' daughters and farmers' sons form a goodly part of the Kansas society element, while piano salesmen look to them for their quick deals. It is nothing uncommon for a farmer to come to town and buy two or three rubber-tired buggies, or even to place an order for an automobile. Mr. D. W. Blaine, a rich farmer of Pratt County, superintends all his harvesting in an automobile. Many others are equally plutocratic. One of the richest farmers in the Kansas wheat belt is John T. Stewart, who came to the State five years ago. He borrowed $50 from a friend, rented a quarter section of land in Sumner County and began work. To-day he is worth $2,000,000, and his income from wheat in 1901 was $64,000. He is known as the wheat king of Kansas. There are twenty-three millionaires in Kansas, fifteen of whom are farmers living on farms and running them as an investment. Perhaps they have not all of their fortune invested in land, but a goodly portion of it is. Solomon Besley, of Wellington, placed $31,000 in wheat land last year and realized 30 per cent on his investment, or ten times as much as he receives from money loaned in Illinois.—Ainslee's Magazine. Snowshoes for Horses. Over the light crust that form on the snow in the dense forests and deep gulches of Northern Idaho the horses of the winter mail carriers make their way on snow shoes, and wooden snow shoes at that. These shoes are made with a double thickness of inch boards, the whole about 20 inches long and 14 wide. An in- A dention to fit the horse's foot is branded in with a hot horse shoe, and an iron clamp, secured by a screw bolt, holds it over the hoof. Alfalfa on Sandy Soil. The claim that alfalfa will not thrive on sandy soil is not borne out by experiment. Col. B. W. Richards, secretary of the Laurel Hill Cemetery Company, who has a farm at Hammonton, N. J., has grown alfalfa for several years, and on a plot consisting of white sand. The plot was seeded in August, 1898, and another later. As many as four or five cuttings are secured every season, and from two to three tons of hay per acre are cured. Manure is spread over the land every fall and lime (mostly from burnt oyster shells) is broadcasted. The land has become very productive, and more animals were necessary in order to consume the hay produced. The experiment 's a valuable one, as it demonstrates what can be done with alfalfa on the lightest kind of sand.—Philadelphia Record. In Favor of Sheep. It is sometimes asserted that cattle and sheep require the same amount of feed per 1,000 pounds of live weight, according to Prof. Curtiss. This statement seems not to be well founded. In some experiments at the Iowa station the cattle consumed 19.6 pounds of dry matter per 1,000 pounds of live weight against an average of 29.7 by the sheep. Both cattle and sheep were on full feed. The sheep made a daily gain of 3.73 pounds per 1,000 pounds of live weight and the cattle 2.14. In summing up this comparison we find that while the sheep ate 48 per cent more than the cattle they gained nearly 75 per cent more. Topdressing Winter Wheat. In some sections of the country it is a practice to top dress the wheat in the fall, and this regardless of the quantity of fertilizer applied to the field before seeding. This is an excellent plan and should be more generally practiced. The idea is to apply this top dressing immediately after seeding, using a manure spreader arranged so that the manure will be scattered evenly but quite thin. During the winter the strength of the manure is washed down to the roots of the plants while the coarser portion acts as a mulch. Feed Bulky Food. Growing animals need bulky food to keep the stomach distended? Whey feeding illustrates the point to an extreme. One hundred pounds contain only about seven pounds of solids. The animal therefore must drink and void nine-three pounds of water to get the seven pounds dry matter. While not an ideal food, the growth obtained serves to show a demand for bulk. HOUSEHOLD TALKS Two quarts of sifted flour, a pint of warm milk, half a cup of butter melted in the milk, a quarter of a cup of sugar, three or four eggs beaten light, a little salt, a half cake of compressed yeast dissolved in a little warm milk. Make a batter of the milk and flour, add the eggs and sugar, beat hard for fifteen minutes. Cover the pan and set to rise over night if for luncheon, in the morning if for tea. Knead them well, but do not add any more flour. Make them into shape, and let them rise again until light. Bake about fifteen minutes in a quick oven. For buns add cinnamon. Sift the flour before measuring, and measure lightly. Cream Filling for Chocolate Cake. For a delightful chocolate creme filling for layer cake try the following: One and a quarter squares of chocolate, one cupful of sugar, three-quarters of a cupful of flour, one-eighth of a teaspoonful of salt, two cupfuls of milk, two eggs and a teaspoonful of vanilla. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler; mix the sugar and flour, salt and milk, and add the two eggs slightly beaten. Cook the mixture fifteen minutes in a double boiler, then add the chocolate and one teaspoonful of vanilla. When cold, spread between the layers of cake. Stuffed Peppers Take three green peppers, wash them, then put them in hot grease and blanch until tender. Remove from the fire and again wipe the skins with a cloth. Cut off the tops and take out the seeds. Take one ounce of butter, chop up a few shallots and fry in the butter, adding a few chopped mushrooms. Season with tomato puree, thickened with bread crumbs, and put this filling into the peppers. Place on the dish and serve with bechamel sauce. Fudge. Two cups of granulated sugar, half a cup of milk, a piece of butter a little larger than an egg, a little salt, and seven teaspoonfuls of Baker's cocoa. Boil twelve minutes. Add three teaspoons of vanilla, and stir for three minutes. Remove from the fire. Pour, caramel thickness, into buttered tins. When partially cold, mark off in squares. The Wash Boiler. Many people complain that the boiler rusts and iron molds the clothes. This may be entirely prevented by rubbing the boiler well with any good kitchen soap immediately after emptying it and while it is warm. Give it a liberal coating, remembering the soap is not wasted, as it all goes into and helps the first filling the the boiler next washing day. Frozen Raspberries. Two quarts of raspberries, one pint of sugar and one quart of water. Boil the water and sugar together fifteen minutes, add the berries and cook fifteen minutes longer. When cold add the juice of three lemons and freeze. When the beater is taken out add one pint of whipped cream. Hamburg Steak Two pounds of the round of beef chopped very fine; press it into a flat steak, sprinkle with salt and pepper and a little onion juice; flour it lightly and broil the same as beefsteak. Make a brown gravy with a little soup stock; thicken with flour. Brief Hints. Carry a lighted match with the lighted end from you to keep it from going out. To set the dye in cotton stockings put a good handful of common salt in the washing water. Iron the silk fronts of embroidered stockings with a warm iron to make them bright and shiny. To polish fretwork first rub it over with sandstone, then dip a cloth in linseed oil and rub the wood well with it. When ripping up the seams of an old skirt, if the ripping is started from the bottom, the goods are much less likely to tear at the edges. A little pipeclay dissolved in the water employed in washing clothes will vastly improve their color and will prove a great saving of time, trouble and soap. Keep all hooks and eyes and buttons firmly sewed on, thus avoiding the temptation to use pins and saving the wear on your skirt bands. Nothing wears and tears out bands so quickly as pinning. An admirable idea for cramped bedrooms is to have a long mirror set in the closet door; extra hooks on the other side and a skirt hanger or so never come amiss, and a bag below them for boots and slippers is very desirable. To clean wood tables and shelves use this mixture: Half a pound each of soft soap and sand and a quarter of a pound of lime. Mix and apply with a scrubbing brush. Rinse with plenty of clean water and when dry the wood will be spotlessly white. The cleaning of windows may be greatly facilitated by first dusting them with whiting. Sew up some whiting in a small linen bag and rub the whole window and ledges. Rub this off with a rough cloth and polish with chamois. Another plan is to rub the glass with a chamois, dampened with whiting, and polish with soft cloths.

If the word of the in- ventor of the fastest thing afloat is to be considered. the day of this seeming marvel is not far off. Charles D. Mosh- er, inventor of the yacht Arrow, which covered a mile in 1 minute and 98 80-100 seconds recently, predicts that in a few years he will be able to reach Liverpool and Southampton in seventy-two hours from New York. “Not only can the thing be done,” says Mr. Mosher, “but it will be done as soon as any man or company is ready to apply money and energy to the task. When the owners of trans-Atlantic fleets at last say so themselves with conviction those magic words, ‘It will pay,’ then we shall see the New York-Liverpool ferry making regular three-day trips. “What the Arrow has done in little a properly designed steamship can do in big.

A Means of Water Propulsion in Ger- manv Not Used in This Country. A while ago Consul General Cole, at Dresden sent a description of the method of propelling steamboats on the Elbe by means of chains. The Elbe is not the only river in Germany on which this method of propulsion is employed. It is used on the swifter parts of a number of other rivers, and notably on the Rhine. This stream, the greatest freight carrier among the rivers of Europe, has a very swift current for most of the way through the beautiful highlands that have made the Rhine famous; and while the lighter and powerful passenger steamers can stem the rapid onflow of the river, he slow and heavy-laden rreighters could make scarcely any headway if it were not for the chains laid on the bottom of the river that follow its sinuosities for scores of miles. ‘This method of propelling freighters has been in use in Germany for about forty years. There are perhaps 100 large sveighters on the Rhine, all of which are provided with propellers, though they are used only along the stretches where the current is comparatively sluggish; but in the long reaches, where the current is swift, the chain is the sole dependence both going up and down the river. It takes only a minute when an end of the chain is reached to pass it through the two sets of rollers on board. Specia! machinery on the vessel starts the rollers turning and the chain is constantly being pulled aboard over the bow and dropped astern into the river again. But the chain not only provides loco- motion for the freighter. but also for four to six barges that are usually carried in tow, carrying about 2000 tons of freight in addition to the cargo on the steamer. It has been found that these chain boats can carry and tow a large amount of ifreight at an expenditure of only one- | third the power required by the big side- wheel towboats on the Rhine and other rivers; there is accordingly a large savy- jing of fuel. The chain has proved to be a very economical means of propulsion and has, therefore, come to be an im- portant facility for transportation on the German rivers. Many tourists going up or down the Rhine have their first introduction to this | curious means of propulsion when they | See one of these odd-looking vessels, wit’: big revolving rollers on the deck, pulling a chain on board and dropping it behin:! ee Their attention is for the moment diverted from the castles on the Rhine |to this new thing under the sun. They ‘are eager for an explanation of the phe- |nomenon and are certain that they have acquired some useful information when they learn that chains at the bottom of the Rhine bave an important part in the commerce of the river. _ Only the heaviest and bulkiest material jis earried by these chain boats. The cargoes from the mountain regions of the south consist of building stone, lumber, coal and merchandise; and the freight taken up the river is grain, flour, kero- sene, anthracite and merchandise.

The Rapid Corrosion of Steel Rails in the Tropics Near the Sea. ; Mr. Bricks, one of the engineers in charge of the rajlroads owned by the French government, recently read a paper in which he said that sea water, particu- larly im tropical countries, has a very de- structive influence on steel rails. A few Weeks ago the same observation was made by Dr. Delprat, the engineer in charge of the Dutch railroads in Su- matra, This gentleman says that the short rail- road at Port Emma, one of coast of Su- matra, which has been in operation for ten years and which occupies a position ouly a little above mea: high tide, has been greatly damaged by sea water, the rails haying been largely eaten away by rust. The rails on one of the short branches of this road, which runs over a breakwater, have been diminished in Weight about two and a half pounds for every three and a half feet the entire length of the rails. He says that every Year these rails are losing about Te cent. of the weight of new rails. The Width of the rail surface has been dimin- ished aboit one inch. 5 The engineer urges that for all. rail- roads and street car routes occupying a Position near the sea in the tropies rails of unusuai width of surface should be employed. He says that any one who may discover a method of protecting steel rails from the corrosive action of salt water will make a fortune——New York un. Don’t Give Up.

If single beds were more numerous than they are a great many people would be better off. When one is tired, sick, cross, restless, out of sorts, he or she ought to sleep alone and not communi- cate by proximity the maladies that af- fect him. ‘The brute creatures when sick go away by themselves till they die or get over their troubles, and this instinct a great many human beings have. Those that have it are best if indulged in it— not to the slightest degree of neglect, however. Where two children in a fam- ily must share the same room, in a great many cases they would be better off te have two single beds rather than one wide double bed. We can share a great many things with those we love, but solitude clings to us from birth to death. We come into the world alone, we must go out of it alone, and we live in it alone in a certain important sense, and to get and keep our “bearings” we must some- times be left alone. It is good that we should be.—Family Doctor. Sespebetaberee a A Mirror for Theaters. The little theatrical mirror just in- vented will call down blessings on het head from all theatergoers, masculine as well as feminine, if it is placed, as it should be, on the backs of all the theater seats in the country. It will not only assist in the proper adjustment of the ladies’ hats after the play is over, but will also allow persons to take a survey of the house behind them, doing away with the stretching of the neck now necessary to see who are present and what they are wearing. The mirror ‘s secured to the back of the seat by means of a curved arm, which folds against the chair back when not in use. The glass is secured to the outer end of the arm by a double joint, allowing it to swing horizontally and tilt in a vertical plane. thus placing the mirror at any desired angle, giving the desired rear view. If one does not wish to use the glass it can be used as a support for the hat.—Ro- chester Union and Advertiser. Perea ees In Red Three Months. Oolitic, Ind., Sept. 15th.—Mr. W. A. Terry, of this place, suffered for months with a very severe case of Kid- ney Trouble. ‘ He was so very bad that he was almost confined to his bed for three months. He tried many medicines, but he could not get any relief till he com- meneed to use a remedy introduced here some time ago as a cure for Kid- ney Trouble, the name of which is Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Mr. Terry says that the second day after commencing to.use this remedy he could notice a very marked im- provement in his condition, and in a short time he was able to go about again. He is naturally filled with gratitude to Dodd's Kidney Pills for the im- Mense anrount of good they have done him and says: “I would recommend Dodd's Kidney Pilis to every sufferer from kidney or bladder trouble, for from my experi- ence I am sure they are the best medi- cine to be had for all diseases of this nature.” | Oat Hulls for Paper.

The duties of young men in connection with labor agitations can be understood only when we view modern conditions of labor in connection with the purposes of God. Let us start with solid truth on the main facts. Let us speak of labor. A superficial view pronounces it a source of misery, insisting that it curtains relaxation; that it holds the most of men down to ceaseless manual toil; that it hardens the hand and broadens the foot and stretches the limb and knots the sinuses and breaks down the body, even laying its iron grasp on the soul, weighing down the nature with care, anxiety and dread. Then there is an intelligent view, de- daring that toil impresses the mind with an exalting sense of strength worthily directed, that it affects the soul with per- ception of the harmonious operation of male faculties, that it charms mankind with the precious results that wait on rise exertion. "The Man with the Hoe" presents, in popular form, the false conception. Let us rather conceive of toil as one of the Mnighty's great methods for exalting men—it being God's will that man should rejoice in his labor—so leading us from the lowest earthly condition to the high- level of gracious privilege and spiral excellence. Nothing is more wonderful in all the range of social studies than the abundant, overflowing emoluments of very successful workers; and scarcely anything is more mournful than the terrific antagonism experienced by those who, by their own fault or by the fault of others, are left to labor on the lowest plane of manual effort, to labor on the hardest labor—say the mining of coal in darkness and heat in the bowels of the earth—and who for this toil will get only a pittance. The artist, with a group of carefully dressed persons represented on his canvas, will be paid at the rate of $500 to $1,000 a figure. Labor offers its immediate and immense rewards to industry, reflection, invention, analytical acumen, to the generalizing faculty, to the power of command. The simple demand is for the man who works best, in primeval forest or on the floor of the modern exchange. Knowledge must rise above ignorance, forethought above carelessness, tact above dullness, facility above awkwardness, ability above stupidity. The successful ones will be lifted out of a multitude of difficulties and started fresh on a higher plane; the unsuccessful will be ground by forces that to the superficial seem brutal, blind and pitiless. So, in a sense, they are, but Jehovah has adapted them to those that they are meant to incite. The mercy of it all is seen in this, that men in this life can never fall so low that an inducement to progress and growth and exaltation is not always before them. In the seeming impossibility of the absolute doing away with the law of competition, and yet with this purpose of God that the laborer should rejoice in his toil, what becomes the duty of young men? A young man will best discharge his duties in the labor agitations of the present day having just ideas of labor and a very tender regard for his fellow men. Hudeavor by all the means in your power, while you give yourself with the greatest energy to the highest form of all of which your nature is capable, to secure the rights of the weak, the oppressed, the humble. Guard the interests of the poor; have a care especially for all women that work; with all the strength that God has given you, fight untitious conditions of labor, like the sweat shop. Keep your heart near the common people. The party in power will make a great mistake if it imagines the country at large will long view with favor any policy that perpetually aggrandizes the prosperous and everlastingly impoverishes the trailing. We want no despotism of wealth no curse of monopoly. Let no man suppose that the election dissipates the fear on the part of our people that the interests of the poor, the laboring, those that are down, are in danger of being sacrificed to the well-to-do, the luxurious, the upper 1,000,000. The proposition that trusts are inevitable and beneficent may be correct in an academic sense, but the people want to see that proposition in operation, abreast of popular rights and Christian charity. Let not the reins held by plutocracy over the masses become stronger, nor the whiplash sharper, nor the yoke resting on hirelings more intolerable. Let no man be deceived by the present prosperity. All our history has taught us to expect seasons of inflation, alternating with seasons of depression. Today, boom; to-morrow, panic. Once and again has this country been roused from the slumber of peace and from golden dreams of wealth, to find that it held in its vaults worthless securities and coupons, valueless as dried leaves. Endeavor to promote amicable relations between labor and capital. Emphasize the necessity in policy and morals for every rich man to keep himself in body and spirit among the workers. We ought to deal not only honestly, but generously, with the laboring. We ought to avert strikes by forestalling the conditions that make strikes. As in a falling market, the best course for capital is to state the case fairly to labor and warn of decreased wages, so in a rising market capital is bound, not alone in all honor, but on the low ground of policy, to extend to labor increased earning, before one offensive demand is heard, before one insulting banner is carried, before one worker is excluded from the factory or the mine. We should keep ourselves fresh and up-to-date on these social and labor questions. The best book on political economy is the New Testament, and the wisest social teacher is Jesus Christ. He speaks of wealth, labor, the family, marriage, the State, not as modern specialists do, and must do, isolating each, but rather having an eye to all, viewing them as co- ordinated, as standing in relation to the building up of his eternal kingdom. The seed of the grand principles of human brotherhood planted by Jesus Christ seemed to die, but when it had germinated, what fruit it bore!—slowly ripening abolition of slavery, gentleness on the part of master to man and self-respect on the part of man to master, sacredness of the person, not alone of kings, but of every man; compassion on the part of them that rule, and kindlier submission on the part of the subject. This same self-sacrificing, altruistic feeling is working mightily through the world. It cries to England to strike no blow, to issue no order against the Boers in a spirit of vindictiveness; it cries to America to lay no finger of oppression on Cuba, Porto Rico or the Philippines; it cries in every cabinet of Europe not to permit dismemberment in China, but to leave that ancient people, in spite of their little heads and their bigotry, a fair opportunity to rise to the dignity of their national destiny; it cries in the halls of Congress, in State Legislatures, in the room where the cabinet assembles in the White House, and by the desk of the President, that in the name of Jesus Christ the burdens of living must be as nearly as can be equalized for the rich and poor, for the ignorant and cultivated, for the weak and the strong. We believe that that spirit that came direct from Christ, that struck the fetter from the slave, that freed the serf from the thrall of feudalism, that expelled despotism by free institutions, that decreed education for the people, that put the ballot in the hand of every man, that to-day struggles like a giant, but as yet ineffectually, against the accursed power of rum, will yet insist on the amelioration of the poor man's condition, even at the cost of some loss to the rich. SUCCESS FROM SEEKING. By Rev. Thomas. Man seeks for the best and endeavors to find that which will bring to himself and his loved ones the greatest prosperity. In our Saviour's life we can find much by simply looking up this one word, "Seek." In our Saviour's life, however, we cannot but notice that few indeed came to him seeking spiritual food. Many came from curiosity because they desired to see the miracles he performed, others followed him for selfish purposes only. They cared nothing for him and took no interest in the affairs of his kingdom. The crying need of the church to-day is for men and women who will earnestly seek to find Christ and know the will of God instead of being satisfied with an occasional presence in the church, where they come not to worship in sincerity and to find out the will of God, but too often to simply find fault or criticize the minister or the choir. There is a lack of humanity in all our churches. Men are seeking their own and losing sight of the eternal in the ever increasing desire to find and hold on to that which will only bring a temporal blessing and a few years of worldly prosperity at the best. The man who seeks God earnestly denotes a consciousness of his need of him. Men in general do not regard God. The man of our own day reminds me very strongly of Pharaoh as he defies minister and people of God alike and when spoken to about the evil influence he is exerting and warned of the wrath of God he calmly folds his arms and asks: "Who is the Lord?" If the business men of our country and the laboring men sought to know the will of God and to do that which is becoming to a Christian people we would have an end to all labor disputes, ill-advised strikes and strife between capital and labor. NEW LIFE AND NEW VISION. By Rev. A. H. Stephens Our ability to see things in their proper relations depends upon our attitude toward the things seen. If that attitude be one of kindness we shall see the beauties; if it be one of unkindness we shall see the blemishes. Hence Jesus is seeking to change the human heart that men may see things in their true relations and without prejudice for or against his kingdom. There are many misconceptions concerning the gospel which are removed not so much by argument as by bringing men into new relations toward Christ. The man without the new life may see men as trees walking, but only after the regenerating power of the holy spirit is applied to the heart can he see clearly. In the spiritual world a new heart brings new eyes and the ability to appreciate and appropriate divine help. This new life brings new plans, purposes, principles. Instead of conformation to the world there is transformation to Christ, holiness supplants unholiness, purity supplants impurity, selfishness is dethroned and unselfishness is enthroned. There is a marvelous difference before and after the new life has been born in us. One of the strongest characters in history found his duty and pleasure before his conversion in making havoc of the church, but in his new life this same man would count all things lost that he might win Christ, the persecutor became preacher. Harmony with God's Will.—What is the will of God with which we are to bring ourselves into harmony? Power is only one of the divine attributes. Christ taught that God has a resistless impulse toward men. The will of God is holy love. Is it possible for men like us to come and come joyously? As I have said, power is not the only attribute of God. The power that works for righteousness is a power still, but it is the power best for all. From the study of nature itself in the outside world the fatherhood of God is proven. That is power still, the law given by the law giver, once for all our Father. Truly the doctrine of Christianity is one of future reconciliation. Science and the Scriptures are two departments of revelation, but they work together to reveal God. The will of God is not power law directed but holy love, love of a father accomplishing the best good of his children.—Rev. Dr. Jennings, Presbyterian, Detroit, Mich.
