ROBBED WHILE HE SLEPT. Mystery of a Banker's Losses Solved in an Unexpected Manner. "Shortly after I was put on the 'fly force,'" said the old detective, "the chief sent for me. On entering his office I found there a man I recognized as a banker of repute. Since then he has become famous. The chief told me to listen to the story, for it was my case. The story was brief. The banker kept some personal securities in a safe at his own home and some were missing. They had disappeared one by one at irregular intervals. The one singular thing was that on one occasion he had set out to watch the safe all night and between 3 and 4 had dropped asleep for half an hour. In that half another had disappeared. The lock was a combination, the secret of which, so far as he knew, was wholly his own. "I went up to his house and made a careful examination without hitting on any theory that would seem to unravel the mystery. So I said to the banker that he must go right along in his mode of living, do nothing to let any inmate of the house suppose they were under suspicion or observation and that I would conceal myself and watch the safe. For I was satisfied that the thief was one of the family and I fancied it was the son, who was a high rolier. "This the banker agreed to and helped me rig up a place where I could conceal myself. I began the watching that night, but nothing came of it for five nights. On the sixth the banker went out to a dinner party, but he was back home shortly after midnight and the house quieted down by 1 o'clock. An hour and a half later I heard a soft step in the room adjoining the library and presently a form stole into the room and going to the safe, swiftly unlocked it and abstracted a single security, closing the safe again. "The room was so dark that I could destinguish only the outlines of the form, but the darkness enabled me to follow the thief as he moved from the safe. I did so, and with a step as stealthily as his own. He led me through the adjoining room, out into the hall, down the basement steps and into a lumber room, where there was an old box for firewood. To this box the thief went, and, lifting the cover, put the security in it. "Then he turned and so quickly that he nearly struck me, and hurried up the stairs. I was close behind him, and at his heels when he climbed up to the second story, where there was a night lamp in the hall, giving sufficient light tally, giving sufficient light. edge of politics and men; while he is secretary requests for particular speakers will not be ignored on account of color, creed or nationality. Newspaper men will receive fair treatment and will have an even break without favoritism. Those who know him best say he will impart new life, new vigor and all agree that no better selection could have been made and that he is the right man in the right place. for me to recognize the features of the man who had taken the security. From here he turned into a room, closing the door after him. I went down into the library and found the easiest chair for a nap. "The next morning as the banker appeared for breakfast I took him down stairs, saying to him: 'Examine that box and see what you find.' "To his amazement he found every one of the missing securities and some papers besides which he had not missed. He was dumfounded. After a moment's hesitation he turned to me with a severe and most stern air and asked: "'Who is the thief?' "'You are,' I replied complacently. "He started violently, and for a moment I thought he would strike me. But he asked instead, ferociously: "'What do you mean, by that?' What do you mean by that: "Only that you are a sleepwalker," I replied. 'That's all. I followed and saw you take the paper and place it here.' "He stood still as one paralyzed. Then he said: "Keep my counsel. Say nothing.' "A week later he sent for me to his office to tell me that his physician had told him that it was a case of dyspepsia and that when he had come to look back he found that it was only after a late course dinner that a paper has been missed. Then he added: "You've been discreet so far. Continue to be and you will see that you will not lose by it.'

A Seizure for Rent. A Philadelphia who spent many years in the sunny South, who, in fact, was born and brought up there, tells an amusing story of darky wit, and one well worth repeating. It was some years ago, when he lived not more than 100 miles from New Orleans. One day he returned from many hours of driving, and was agreeably surprised to see a fine plump turkey served up for dinner. Wondering where it came from, he called Rastus and inquired by what means the beautiful bird had reached his dining table. "Why, sah," replied Rastus, "dat turkey done bin roosting on our fence dis tree nights, so dis morning I seized him for de rent ob de fence."—Philadelphia Telegraph. CREAM CITY NOTES.

REPUBLICANS MEET IN CONVENTION. County Convention Held at West Side Turn Hall—Strong Ticket Nominated. REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET For Sheriff—Fred Tegtmeyer. For County Clerk—Frank O. Phelps. For Clerk of the Courts—Al. Wieber. For Register of Deeds—Oscar F. Pierce. For County Treasurer—Geo. Thuering. For District Attorney—W. H. Bennett. For Coroner—Henry Broegman. For County Surveyor—J. H. Kirchman. For County Superintendent of Schools —Jesse F. Cory. Prompt at 2 o'clock last Monday afternoon Temporary Chairman Wade H. Richardson called the delegates to order at West Side Turn hall, Secretary Kronshage called the roll of wards, towns and villages, and after a delay of fifteen minutes, pending the settlement of a wrangle among Third ward delegates, the great convention of Milwaukee county Republicans was in session. Ex-Mayor and present Tax Commissioner Thomas H. Brown presided and his speech was a masterly presentation of principles upon which the party stands. He drew the attention of the delegates to the vital importance of the campaign in Milwaukee county and predicted that success or failure here would have its effect, not only in county and state, but in the nation. He thanked the convention for the high honor conferred upon him. He spoke of the vast manufacturing interests of Milwaukee and argued that in order to protect them a Republican majority must be assured and that the Republicans of the Fourth and Fifth districts should see to it that the Republican nominees were returned. The convention was an enthusiastic one, but though at times exciting, it was nevertheless conducted with that dignity and good order so characteristic of Republican conventions. The hottest contest was the race for sheriff, in which Under Sheriff Fred Tegtmeyer won out, with W. H. Perthesius and James McGee in close pursuit. The ticket nominated, which appears in this papers, is a strong one and will command the full party strength. Whether or not it is elected will depend much upon the nominees themselves, as well as upon the party managers. After we look in the Mirror We turn our thoughts away, And soon forget the picture Its surface did convey. But when cares are pressing In the hurry of this life We turn us to the Mirror And seek of it advice. Has the day been one of pleasure, Or was it day of pain, Those speaking eyes do always tell If we have borne the battle well. Today you think it a friend And turn you oft to its face, Tomorrow you may call it a fiend And turn it away in disgrace. But look again, 'tis a changing face, The image is true, But time goes apace Each day, each hour is new Blessed are we if we can see The Image grow divine, And not repine At loss of childish grace And the young face.

You surely don't expect me to say you gave satisfaction? Cook—You need do nothing of the kind. Just say that I stayed with you three months; that would be the best character you could give me.

Child Expounds the Scriptures and Exhorts His Hearers—Making Converts on West Side. Nin years ago next Christmas day and with a record of five years already spent in evangelistic ministry in twenty different states and in Canda, Lennie Lawrence Dennis has come to Milwaukee for a week of revival services at the Mt. Olive (colored) Baptist Church, Seventh street, between Wells and Cedar streets. Of Girlish Appearance. Although born of colored parents, the little preacher is almost white, having a creamy complexion to set off his jet black hair and eyes. A white silk dress hang- 1910 ing loosely to the knees, together with his curls gives the lad a girlish appearance that is hardly dispelled when referred to in introductions as "he." His voice sounds quite mature and has the drawl and pronunciation characteristic of the Southern speech in his Atlanta home. Lennie has traveled with him mother, Mrs. Cornelia Dennis, since the death of his father in Detroit last December. When he was 2 years old, Mrs. Dennis states, Lennie said that the Lord spoke to his soul. He was only 3 years and 11 month old when he preached for the first time. His ministry has continued ever since. When in New York city, at the age of 5 years, his presence and work created a sensation and he was given much newspaper space. Though never in school, the boy reads readily. He began a week's service at the Mt. Olive Church Sunday morning. Two services are held each day, in the afternoon at 4 o'clock and in the evening at 8. Entrance of the Boy Preacher. he service last evening was preceded from 7:30 to 8 o'clock by a prayer meeting in which various members of the Mt. Olive Church took part. At 8:10 o'clock the little white audience room was well filled with colored and white people. The uninitiated who saw a stout woman come up the aisle and pull the loose cloak from the shoulders of a girlish figure who mounted the platform swinging its arms in a childish manner, might have thought that the pastor's daughter had taken advantage of her position to take a seat upon the rostrum. It was only when the child, in a grave tone and peculiar accent, said: "If there are any deaconesses or stewardesses in the audience let them come forward and take seats upon the stage so there will be more seats for others." that strangers realized that here was the boy preacher. Sitting down, the lad curled up in a plush chair with his arm over his head and watched the people. "Sing with the spirit," he admonished them. Going to the huge Bible he opened it and asked Rev. C. Farrar, the pastor, to read the fifty-sixth chapter of Isaiah. That finished he approached the pastor and with a bashful twist of the body said: "I guess I'm ready to speak now." Two Ministers Listened. The picture of a silken dressed child standing thumping the big Bible with his 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. tiny fists and exploiting the scriptures to an audience of adults and with the eyes of two ministers, one white and the other black, bent earnestly upon him from the platform, was one to suggest the imaginative work of Hoffman depicting Christ in the temple at the age or 12. The sermon lasted for half an hour. With Nicodemus, the Pharisee, as his central figure, the lad gave a rambling talk filled with exhortation, advice, illustrative figures, and explanatory dissertations. He warned his hearers against talking too much and advised them to talk Godliness rather than gossip or sports. Regeneration was the central thought of Christianity, he said. The practice of sending children to saloons for beer was denounced and parents were advised that their first Christian duty was to save their own families. The address was punctuated with "Amen" and "So true" of the lad's colored listeners and his telling points and illustrations were received with approving laughter and admiring chucklings. The Sinners Come Forward. When Master Dennis had finished he asked every Christian to stand up. Then every sinner was given the same order and almost immediately requested to come forward. Most of them responded and crowded about the altar. Mrs. Dennis led the singing and provided chairs for some of the penitents to kneel at while her son passed among the audience asking each one if he or she was a Christian. One little white-haired boy was led to the altar by the sleeve. After making the rounds of the congregation, Lennie prayed, a colored sister prayed fervently amid amens, and those who had come forward were given an opportunity to testify. Two responded and the little evangelist took their names and dismissed the congregation. Can't Tell About Conversions. Master Dennis said afterward that about twelve had confessed at his meetings here. "But you can't tell whether they're really converted," said the boy. "That takes time." "Let it rest with the Lord," said a bystander. "Yes, I let 'em rest," added Lennie. "In Toronto I had 139 conversions in three and one-half weeks," he said in response to a question. His pictures were sold by the mother after the service and a collection taken at the door to pay the couple's expenses. A Successful Concert. A concert given at Lincoln hall last Friday under the auspices of Mt. Olive Baptist Church was made successful largely through cheerful participation by some children not of the congregation's color. The names of all who took part are as follows: Misses Hildegard Bublin, Rosela Berlin, Cella Roberts, Edna Kruse, Clara Orton, Ruth Curry, Mamle Stewart, Amy and Agnes Whitfield and Margaret Carter. The pastor, Rev. Cyrus Farrar, states that the thanks of the congregation are also due to I. W. Bess and Mrs. Sadie Gains. PLAYED TAG IN HER NIGHTGOWN. Accusation Which Led to Duel at San Francisco. The shooting of Frederick Marriott at San Francisco by Truxton Beale and T. H. Williams was the result of a publication in Marriott's paper, the News Letter, of an article which said that a certain well-known young society woman played "tag" in her night gown. While the alleged slanderous story, published in the News Letter, which caused the shooting, did not mention the young lady's name, it was generally know who was referred to. The young woman was heartbroken over the publication and appealed to Beale, an old friend of her family, for assistance. Beale asked the advice of Williams and together they went to Marriott's house. The shooting followed. Mr. Marriott's physicians are very hopeful for the recovery of their patient. They are exerting their skill to ward off possible blood poisoning, the only phase of the case that causes them alarm. So far their efforts in this direction have met with success. A Difference in Gear. Private John Allen was strolling down Pennsylvania avenue the other day, says the Washington Times, when he passed a lamp post to which was attached a person who had imbibed not wisely, but too well. The man was bowed over and holding on with both hands. If he had stepped a little nearer he could have leaned his body against it, but apparently he did not dare to make the step for fear of losing his balance. As Mr. Allen approached the stranger mistily made him out and hailed him. Mr. Allen stopped. "M' fren," said the afflicted one with difficulty, "c'n you tell—hic—poor—invalid where B. & O. depot is?" "It is right over in that direction." said Mr. Allen, pointing, "about ten minutes' walk." "Temminits walk?" repeated the sufferer. "Yes." "D' you mean," inquired the man, "for—hic—for you or for me?" BENEVOLENT PUBLIC AGAINST ALLEGED CHARITABLE INSTITUED RACE. LOOK WELL TO THE CREATORS AND INQUIRE OF SOME REPUTA- G THE TRUTHFULNESS OF THEIR HAVE YOU A FACE BOOK? The Newest Fad in Portraiture—Amateur Artist Friends. Quite the latest idea is to have a face book. Instead of the old-style album, a collection of drawing paper sheets are bound together, and the friends of the book owner are expected to do the rest. A book is sometimes made of heavy, coarse white linen, and is a desirable and durable style, with the cover of brilliant crimson, deep blue or yellow linen. If a clever sketch drawn in black is put on it so much the better. Here are lines that may be written in fancy letters below the sketch: Their minds to limn. However it may bore. It is the proper caper to introduce the book at 5 o'clock teas and Sunday evening suppers. In it each guest is asked to draw a head of some sort—girl, man, child or animal. It does not in the least matter if they cannot draw at all. They must do their best, or worst. Usually the worst is very desirable, because it makes a laugh. The amateur artists must sign their names or write lines descriptive of their efforts. The protests against thus committing themselves are sometimes loud and deep. No attention should be paid to them. The most amusing pages in the face book are apt to be the ones in which detached human features are drawn. For instance, there may be a nose drawn by one friend and an ear by another, just the tip end of the dimpled chin by a third or the sketch of a hand. It is a good plan to have the pages with these odds and ends of features sketched in without autographs. A good line at the head of the page would be: "By their works ye shall know them." These are the guessing leaves of the face book, and many a jolly hour may be passed by visitors who try to guess the names of the artists. Some women insist that musical friends shall express a sentiment by means of a bar of music. The selection of the bar is made from a popular song, and the first word of the line is written over the initial note, while the last one appears above the closing one. This helps out the guesser who cannot read music, but who is familiar with the songs of the day. Other face book owners, with original minds, insist that only flowers, or plants, or trees be drawn on the pages. A glance at these makes one wonder to see how little form in flowers is appreciated. Color appears to be the chief point that appeals to the average eye, and form to a little or no place at all in it. The face book need never be complete, for each evening that a woman entertains a fresh leaf may be added.—Washington Star. A MAGICIAN CONFOUNDED Colored Boy's Appetite "Busted" Palmed Dollar One on the Magician.—Carl Hertz, the American sleight of hand performer, who is just now amusing London audiences, was once giving an entertainment in Nashville, Tenn., where he engaged the services of a gawky boy whom he wished to utilize as a confederate. "Now listen," said Hertz to the youth, "you keep this marked dollar in your trousers pocket and when I call you from the stage come up and hand it to me." It was near the close of the evening's programme before Hertz reached the trick in which he counted upon the assistance of his confederate. He produced a marked silver dollar, palmed it, swallowed it, passed it through doors and tables, and, finally, caused it to vanish in the air. "There," exclaimed the magician, pointing to his confederate who held the duplicate coin. "that boy has it. Come here, you," and the youth shambled forward at the summons. "Now," continued Hertz, "give me that dollar you have in your trousers pocket." Slowly and with apparent distress the lad fished out a handful of small change. "Here's 80 cents, it's all I've got left," he explained. "I spent the rest in oranges."—Brooklyn Eagle. Different Kinds of Feet As to national characteristics in feet, it may be said that the French foot is narrow and long. The Spanish foot is small and elegantly curved—thanks to its Moorish blood—corresponding to the Castilian's pride of being "high in the instep." The Arab's foot is proverbial for its high arch. The Koran says that a stream of water can run under the true Arab's foot without touching it. The foot of the Scotch is high and thick; that of the Irish flat and square; the English short and fleshy. When Athens was in her zenith the Greek foot was the most perfectly formed and exactly proportioned of that of any of the human race. Swedes, Norwegians and Germans have the largest feet, Americans the smallest. Russian toes are "webbed" to the first joint. Tartarian toes are all the same length.—Pictorial Magazine. --- PRESIDENT DOING NICELY. Patient Developed a Slight Fever Yesterday, but the Unfavorable Symptom Soon Disappeared. Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 24.—President Roosevelt passed the last day of his Western trip lying in bed with his leg propped up on a pillow and an interesting book in his hand. His physical condition is all that the doctors could ask, barring the wound on his leg. He has suffered but little pain from this today and Dr. Lung has not found it necessary to apply a new dressing. It has been decided to issue no bulletins as to the President's condition for fear that too much importance would be attached to his disability, which the doctors say is in no sense dangerous, though temporarily disabling. The President enjoyed the most refreshing sleep last night that he has had since starting on the trip and felt so well this morning that he wanted to get out of bed and sit in the parlor of his car. He, however, followed the advice of his doctors and did not arise. Arrangements have been completed for removing the President from his car when Washington is reached to 22 Jackson place, the temporary executive offices. A carriage will be in waiting at 6:30 o'clock, at which time the train is due there, and the President will be placed in a chair and carried to it. A telegram was received today from Mrs. Roosevelt announcing that she and two of the children are on their way to Washington from Oyster Bay. The President will have to remain quiet for about ten days and it has been decided that he shall stay in Washington during that period. Johnstown, Pa., Sept. 24.—President Roosevelt passed the most comfortable night that he has had since his Western trip began. He slept until S o'clock this morning, the pain in his leg being less than for a number of days. His temperature is normal and he was bright and cheerful when breakfast was served to him in bed. He had a slight fever yesterday. Doctors Lung and Richardson are highly pleased with their patient's condition. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 24.—The special train carrying the presidential party arrived at the union station at 7:20 o'clock and left for the East ten minutes later, following the New York and Chicago limited. The train was closed and no one could be seen. President Roosevelt was reported to be sleeping and resting easy. TAKE NTQ A HOSPITAL President Roosevelt Submits to a Surgical Operation. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 24.—President Roosevelt's Western tour came to an abrupt termination at this point when Dr. Lung and Dr. Richardson, the President's physicians, declared that an abscess had developed on the shinbone of Mr. Roosevelt's left leg and that an immediate operation was necessary. The abscess was the result of a bruise received several weeks ago in the accident at Pittsfield, Mass., when the President's carriage was overturned by collision with a trolley car. The operation was performed in St. Vincent's hospital in this city yesterday afternoon, and was declared to have been successful. Two ounces of pus were removed and last evening the special train started back to Washington with the President on board. The train is being run on a slow schedule and is due to arrive at the capital this evening. The President's physicians, as well as the Indianapolis surgeons who performed the operation, declare that there is no danger of serious complications; that the President could walk even now, if necessary, but that it would be the part of prudence for him to remain perfectly quiet for ten days or two weeks. At the conclusion of the operation the physicians authorized the following statement: As a result of the traumatism (bruise) received in the trolley accident at Pittfield, Mass., there was found to be a circumscribed collection of perfectly pure serum in the middle third of the left anterior tibial region, the sac containing about two ounces, which was removed. The indications are that the President should make speedy recovery. It is absolutely imperative, however, that he should remain quiet and refrain from using the leg. The trouble is not serious, but temporarily disabling. GEORGE B. CORTELYOU. Secretary to the President. Extravagant Rumors. The first intimation that anything was wrong came in the form of rumors to the great crowd that was waiting around the Columbia Club and the soldiers' monument for the President to appear. It was within thirty minutes of the time set for the President to leave the city. The minutes slipped away and still he did not come. It was then rumored that the President had burst a blood vessel; that he had been shot, etc. Finally it was noticed that a movement of some kind was on. The President's carriage stood in front of the entrance of the club. Soldiers were drawn up along the street. The secret service men and the local police and detectives crowded the sidewalk, keeping back the people. The command was given to make room, and a path was cleared from the club entrance to the carriage, and, as if in answer to the rumors of his illness, the President, accompanied by Senator Fairbanks, with a quick and sturdy gait, came down the steps of the club and entered the carriage, which started immediately, the horses being urged into a trot. Soldiers Surround Carriage No sooner had the carriages started than twenty mounted artillerymen and as many mounted police surrounded them and in few seconds the cavalcade, started at a rapid gait between the rows of banked up humanity held back from the street by ropes. Amid the sound of many horses trotting upon the asphalt and the rattle of the carriages could be heard the cheers of the people, who, though they could not see the chief executive of the nation, thought they were bidding him good-by. In a few minutes the distance of several squares to St. Vincent's hospital was covered. The President walked with Senator Fairbanks and Gov. Durbin up the steps of the hospital. After the President entered the operating room with the physicians he sat down on a stool and waited for instructions from the physicians and surgeons, watching their preparations with keen interest. Wants to Continue His Trip. "I am awfully sorry that I cannot continue my Western trip," said he. "Can't you let me go ahead with it after this thing is over?" Several of the surgeons turned to him and one said: "It is my opinion that you would be indiscreet to continue on your feet, as would be necessary in your speechmaking trip, after the operation. This is by no means a serious thing and there is absolutely no danger of serious consequences from it if you are careful and stay off your feet until the trouble is over. But you should, by all means, Mr. President, discontinue your trip." "Well, then it will have to be that way," said the President resignedly. "I will do as you gentlemen say. Now, what do you want me to do?" The President was told to remove his shoes and stockings, as they would require to bare the leg only. This was done. The President walked to the operating table alone, and as he lay down he remarked with a smile: "Gentlemen, you are formal. I see you have your gloves on." This was a reference to the antiseptic gloves of the surgeons. "Mr. President," said a surgeon with a smile, "it is always in order to wear gloves at a President's reception." This caused the President to exclaim: "Good, well said." Operation Causes Pain. The operation began without delay: The pain caused the President to mutter several times in a low voice, but he said nothing that was distinct except to ask for a glass of water before the needle had been removed. After the operation was over he made several laughing remarks concerning trivial matters and asked if he would be allowed to use his leg long enough to walk upstairs himself. "You will be hauled upstairs in a wheeled ambulance," said a surgeon. When they brought the vehicle in the President said: "Why, that's a wheelbarrow." After being taken to the upper room from the operating room the President was served with a light luncheon and chatted pleasantly to those in the room. He made several kind remarks to the attending nurses about the trouble he was causing and shifted his position several times nervously. Carried on Stretcher to Train. At 7:40 p. m. a white blanket was thrown around him and he was placed on the hospital stretcher and, escorted by a company of infantry, was carried to the car a block away by four negro porters from the train. He bade goodby to the nurses as he was being carried out of the hall to the elevator, and thanked them for their kindness. He did not talk during his trip to the car. Senator Fairbanks, Gov. Durbin and other prominent citizens were on the train to bid him goodby. Wife Starts for Washington. Oyster Bay, L. I., Sept. 24.—Mrs. Roosevelt left here at 8:08 this morning for Washington. The first news of the indisposition of President Roosevelt was the statement of Secretary Cortelyou by wire and at the same time a telegram was received for Mrs. Roosevelt. She was absent from home and did not return till almost dark. The message assured her there was nothing alarming about the operation. Mrs. Roosevelt was kept informed later as to her husband's condi- Sentiment in London London, Sept. 24.—The afternoon papers express warm satisfaction at the receipt of the encouraging reports regarding the health of President Roosevelt and sympathy with him in his enforced quietude. COMBINE BROKEN. Proposed Meat Trust Abandoned as Result of President Roosevelt's Speeches. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 24.—The combination of the great packing houses of the country, which has been under consideration and in process of actual formation for the last six months, has been finally abandoned, at least for the present. The decision not to contemplate the combination is due in a large degree to the attitude of the national administration toward trusts as outlined by President Roosevelt in his recent speeches, and to the chance that in the event of a consolidation Congress would remove the tariff on cattle. It was learned last evening that a final meeting of the heads of the firms known as the Big Four had been held, at which it was agreed to end all negotiations at once. This was followed directly by an order issued directly from the office of Swift & C., that the firm's employees should immediately discontinue the inventory of property and stock, which had been ordered and started for the purpose of tabulating a report of the financial condition of the company which was to have been used as a basis of the division of shares in the combine. Had Been Working Smoothly. Until President Roosevelt started through New England on a tour of speech making reports from the frequent meetings of the packers indicated that everything was going along in the most harmonious manner. The representatives of Swift & Co., Armour & Co., the Cudahy Packing Company and Nelson Morris & Co. were apparently ready to make important concessions to Schwarzchild & Sulzberger, who had persistently refused to consider a combination under any circumstances, had agreed to come in. In the preliminary work of consolidation Armour & Co had taken in the G. H. Hammond and Hammond Packing Companyles, the Omaha Packing Company and Viles & Robbins, and were reputed to have an option on the International Packing Company, Swift & Co. already controlled Libby, McNeill & Libby, which was operated independently, and lately secured the plants of the Anglo-American Provision Company at Chicago and Kansas City and the local plant of the Chicago Packing Company. The Dold Packing Company of Buffalo was said to be friendly to the scheme. It was indicated that the completion of the combine would be announced on September 27, but that was before President Roosevelt started out on his last trip. Scared by Popular Feeling. The declarations made by the President at Wheeling, Cincinnati, and other cities, coupled with the prominence given, not by him but by others, to the subject of tariff revision as a means of restraining trusts, are believed to have indicated to the packers that the right time had not come to form their gigantic corporation, which would aim to dominate the sale of meat all over the world. With an injunction restraining them from entering into any agreement to form a combination hanging over their heads and public opinion aroused over the high prices of meat since last winter, it was pointed out that Congress would need only a little pressure during the fall elections to bring about the abolition of the tariff on live stock and throw open the markets of the country to the herds of Canada, Mexico and South America, and the consequent increase in size of the Eastern packing houses, which have hitherto conducted business on a small scale owing to their being so far away from the supply of live stock. Stock Brokers Fail. New York, Sept. 24.—A. R. Specht & Co., members of the Consolidated Stock Exchange, suspended payment today. The liabilities are not known. The firm had been in business about two years. Abscess on Leg Result of Trolley Accident. HAS TO ABANDON TOUR Operation on Leg will be Performed at Indianapolis-All Engagements Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 23. President Roosevelt has been forced to cancel all of his engagements and his trip has been called off. It is necessary to perform an operation upon the President on account of an abscess which has formed upon his leg as a result of the trolley accident two weeks ago. As a result of the trolley accident at Pittsfield, Mass., the President received several serious bruises. One of these, on the left leg between the knee and the ankle, has developed into a small abscess. The President is entirely well otherwise and has continued to meet the several engagements of his itinerary, but in view of the continuance of the abscess and out of an abundance of caution, Drs. Oliver and Cook of Indianapolis were requested to meet Dr. Lung, the President's surgeon, at Indianapolis, Dr. Richardson of Washington, D. C., being also one of the number. In the opinion of the doctors, the trouble necessitates an operation which they think should be performed at once at St. Vincent's hospital in this city. As after the operation the President will require entire rest, probably for at least ten days or two weeks, it has been necessary to cancel all the remaining engagements of his trip and he will go directly from Indianapolis to Washington this evening. The physicians say that the case is not in any way serious and that there is no danger whatever. The statement is made so that no false rumors may disturb the people, and that they may be authoritatively advised of the exact nature of the case. (Signed), George B. Cortelrou, Secretary to the President. PLOT AGAINST CZAR. ON TWO ROUTES TO ST. PETERSBURG RAILS WERE REMOVED. In One Instance the Plot was Discovered and in the Other the Train was Wrecked. London. Sept. 23.—In a dispatch from St. Petersburg the correspondent there of the Daily Express reports an attempt to derail the train upon which the Czar traveled from Kursk. Rails were removed on the two routes which the Czar might travel; in one instance the plot was discovered and in the other the train was wrecked. The Czar reached St. Petersburg safely. TROOPS ARE SENT. Numerous Collisions Between Strikers and Nonunionists in Anthracite Regions. Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 23.—Following a day of rioting and bloodshed in the anthracite-region, Gov. Stone this morning ordered the Thirteenth Regiment to report to Gen. Gobin for duty in the strike region. The regiment consists of eleven companies and its strength is about 700. After issuing the order, the governor said that should there be another outbreak the Ninth Regiment will probably be ordered out. Mob Raids a Washerv. Scranton, Pa., Sept. 23.—The worst of the outbreaks occurred at Archbald. A crowd of 200 strikers, mostly foreigners, ransacked the quarters occupied by the forty men employed at the Raymond washery of the Ontario & Western Company while the men were at work, and later meeting the men as they were returning, drove them back to the refuge of the washery. The mob then returned to the colliery proper, drove out the engineers, firemen, pumpmen and guards, and took possession of the breaker. The plant of the Crescent Electric Light Company, which is supplied with steam from the breaker, had to shut down and the whole region around was left in darkness. In the attack on the breaker two men were shot, one a striker and the other a workman. Chief Deputy Sheriff Miles McAndrew was attacked and shot at by a mob at Olyphant. The steam pipes of the Pennsylvania Coal Company's colliery at Old Forge were blown up with dynamite. Two colored cooks at the William A. colliery were rescued by deputy sheriffs from a crowd that was threatening to lynch them. Eleven Arrests at Harrisburg. Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 23.—Eleven strikers were arrested by Sheriff Reiff and deputies at Williamstown charged with disorderly conduct and brought to Harrisburg. The strikers are alleged to have stoned the homes and otherwise injured the property of the men who are working in the mines at Williamstown. Strike Breakers Start Riot Lebanon, Pa., Sept. 23.—The arrival here of forty negro strike breakers at the American Iron and Steel Company was the cause of a riot in which William Hog. aged 23, and David Mengel, aged 45, were shot. A thousand shots were fired and the residences in the neighborhood of the works were riddled with bullets. The riot was started when the negroes left the train and had made a display of revolvers to awe the crowd. Stones were thrown prior to the shooting. The wounded men are in the hospital. The negro strike breakers are heavily armed and peaceful citizens fear for their lives. Aluminum as a Substitute for Paper. It is stated that experiments with aluminum as a substitute for paper are now under way in France. It is now possible to roll aluminum into sheets four-thousandths of an inch in thickness, in which form it weighs less than paper. By the adoption of suitable machinery these sheets can be made even thinner and can be used for book and writing paper. The metal will not oxidize, is practically fire and water proof, and is indestructible by worms. Paris Jardin des Plantes. The Paris Jardin des Plantes owes its origin to the florist, who, in the time of Henry IV., grew all sorts of native and imported plants to sell flowers as models to the manufacturers of embroideries and laces. —Scotch-cured herrings are bringing big prices in the Netherlands. REIGN OF TERROR EXISTS. Lawlessness Rampant in Several Places in Strike Region. Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 24.—A reign of terror existed in this section of the strike region last night and early this morning. Sheriff Jacobs and his deputies were powerless to preserve order, although every attempt was made to do so. No sooner was one outbreak suppressed than another broke out. At Nanticoke the street cars were boarded by the mob in search of nonunion men coming from or going to work. A sheriff's posse and a crowd of strikers exchanged shots at Wanamie, after the latter had derailed a train of coal cars. At Plymouth a number of nonunion men on their way home from No. 2 mine were held up and beaten so badly that they were left on the roadway for dead. Shortly after 1 o'clock a demand for more deputies was received from no less than ten places in Luzerne county. Those applying for aid said that if help was not sent at once there would be loss of property and possible bloodshed. Sheriff Jacobs, after a consultation with his attorney, decided to take no more chances but to appeal to the governor at once. Shortly before 2 o'clock this morning the sheriff telegraphed Gov. Stone telling him that the situation in the Wyoming region was beyond his control and that in order to protect life and property troops would have to be sent there immediately. The governor's secretary replied that the matter would be laid before the former at once. At Exter this morning a mob of 500 gathered in the vicinity of a washery and prevented the employees from going to work. A deputy sheriff named Burke was knocked down by stones and severely injured. Large crowds of men and boys are gathered around the washeries and mines in operation and the situation is very threatening. Asks Sheriff for Details Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 24.—Gov. Stone does not want to order out additional troops unless it is absolutely necessary, and before doing so he will investigate the situation in the localities where there is trouble. Sacrifice Jacobs telegraphed this morning that the conditions in Lazerne county were such that it was absolutely impossible for him to maintain peace and order, protect life and property and suppress rioting and disorder. He also said that if bloodshed was to be prevented the governor would have to send troops to his assistance. The sheriff was asked to explain the situation more fully. Sheriff Jacobs said the rioters had fired several shots into a washery near Wilkesbarre and had blown up a railroad bridge with dynamite. The governor's advices from Lebanon this morning are that the situation is improved and that there are no signs of further rioting or an outbreak such as would require the presence of additional troops. Capt. H. M. Richards, treasurer of the American Iron and Steel Company, who was shot last night, is not seriously injured. An Early Morning Battle. Lebanon, Pa., Sept. 24.—An ugly feeling prevails here this morning. The soldiers sent here last night are on duty and have pitched their tents apparently for a long stay. No move has been made to send the colored iron workers away, as was promised by the American Iron and Steel Company, and it now looks as if they would say. In the darkness of early morning a battle between the mob and the men inside the mill took place and several were shot, none fatally. The soldiers stopped the affray and made many arrests. The mob fired from a cornfield just beyond the works. The men inside the works returned the fire. Soldiers were summoned and they raided the cornfield, arresting thirty of the mob. Other arrests were made later. Soldiers patrolled the streets, sending home everyone who loitered and arresting those who answered back or refused to keep moving. Few people went to bed and firing was heard from the vicinity of the mills all night. TOWN BOMBARDED. The Venezuelan Warship Conceals Identity by Flying the American Flag. Port of Spain, Island of Trinidad, Sept. 24.—A leading German merchant who recently escaped from Ciudad Bolivar arrived here yesterday and made a statement under oath before the officials here setting forth that on August 20 the Venezuelian warship Brestaurador when steaming up the Orinoco river for the second time in order to again bombard Ciudad Bolivar, hoisted the American flag in order to be able to reach that city without arousing the suspicions of the inhabitants as to her identity, and that by this strategy the Restaurador reached the custom house at Ciudad Bolivar and immediately opened fire on the center of the city, causing loss of life and damage to property in the quarters inhabited by foreigners. The merchant also stated that the foreign consuls and all the population of Ciudad Bolivar protested against the actions of the Restaurador. Washington, D. C., Sept. 24.—The singular circumstance reported by the German merchant in the above cablegram was explained by the reception of two cablegrams from United States Minister Bowen at Caracas at the state department this afternoon. The first dispatch stated that the Venezuelan gunboat Restaurador had approached Ciudad Bolivar flying the American flag. She did not lower the flag until she was very close to the shore when she opened fire upon the insurgents from her position there, creating great consternation. When the Restaurador returned to LaGuiria the fact was reported to Minister Bowen, who indignantly demanded a complete apology from the Venezuelan government, and also that the flag of the United States be saluted by the offending ship. The second cablegram from Mr. Bowen reports that the Venezuelan gunboat promptly acceded to these terms, made a suitable apology and the commander of the Restaurador hoisted the American flag and fired a national salute. The matter is still under consideration between the state and navy departments. Port of Spain, Island of Trinidad, Sept. 24.—Two bridges on the English La Guaira-Caracas railroad were blown up with dynamite September 18 by the revolutionists. Seat Sold for $83,000. New York, Sept. 24.-The sale is reported of a Stock Exchange seat at $83,000, the highest price on record. KING LEOPOLD IS ANGRY. Banishes Princess Stephanie from the Royal Palace. Had Come to Spa to Attend the Funeral of Her Mother—Leaves for Brussels in Hired Carriage. Spa, Belgium, Sept. 22.—King Leopold, who was in France when his wife died, arrived here yesterday. He found his daughter, the Princess Stephanie, at the royal palace, where she had arrived to attend the funeral of her mother, Marie Henrietta, Queen of the Belgians, who died on Friday. The King not only refused to speak to his daughter, but ordered her to leave the palace. The princess consequently left Spa suddenly. She rode to the station in a hired carriage and amid demonstrations of sympathy from the people took a train for Brussels. Princess Stephanie is the second daughter of the late Queen Marie Hen- [Image of a man with a long white beard and a bald head, wearing a black shirt and a white collar. The background is a plain black surface with no visible text or details.] rietta and King Leopold. She married the only son of the Emperor of Austria in 1881 and was left a widow in 1889. She was married the second time in 1900 to Elmer, count of Lonyay. This latter marriage was against the wishes of King Leopold, who refused to permit it to be legalized. He has been bitter against his daughter, and courts friendly to that of Belgium have declined to receive the princess. A requiem mass for the late Queen of the Belgians, at which the Bishop of Liege officiated, was celebrated here today. Special trains were run from Brussels to bring members of the royal family, who, after the mass, will conduct the remains back to the capital. The body of the Queen was placed in a coffin yesterday. The King arrived too late to see it. Afterwards the body will be immediately taken to Laeken, accompanied by the King, Princesses Stephanie and Clementine, and Prince Albert, the heir presumptive. The official funeral services will probably be held at Brussels on September 27. Sympathy for the Princess. Brussels, Sept. 22.—The scandal arising from the revival of the family quarrel between King Leopold and his daughter, the Princess Stephanie, beside the bier of the late Queen Marie Henriette at Spa yesterday, is agitating all classse. Popular sympathy on all sides is expressed for the princess who, although deeply affected by the incident, makes no complaint. The princess herself has given out a simple statement of the facts as follows: "I was praying at the bier of the Queen when some one came about 4 o'clock to tell me the King would not receive me. I immediately left the death chamber. I had no interview with his majesty." King is Irreconcilable. It was hoped by the public, who applauded Princess Stephanie's match with the Count Lonyay, that the death of the Queen would lead to healing the rupture, but the incident at Spa is taken to indicate that the King is as irreconcilable as ever to what he openly has designated as a mesalliance, even after the approval of the Austrian Emperor, Francis Joseph. The princess will probably leave Brussels today to join her husband in England. Therefore she will not be present at her mother's funeral. During the whole railroad journey from Spa to this city the princess was shaken with sobs and arrived here greatly prostrated. This morning she attended a special requiem mass ordered by herself. On leaving the church she was sympathetically greeted by the assembled crowd. ABOLISH SUBTREASURIES. Probable Recommendation by Secretary of the Treasury in Hits Forthcoming Report. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 22.—Secretary Shaw, by implication, admitted last night that the abolition of the subtreasuries had been under consideration for some time. He said, however, that what recommendations he had to make would be included in his report to Congress. "My forthcoming report," said Mr. Shaw, "may contain certain recommendations which I doem necessary for the public welfare. Should I say what those recommendations would be Congress might decline to adopt them. "The abolition of the subtreasuries," continued the secretary, "would release $83,000,000 at the present time. The remainder of the $218,374,500 in the treasuries at the last report is in circulation now. We have sought to deposit the money as rapidly as possible and avoid a contraction of the market." "WILD MAN'S" HOME IS ASYLUM. Ctlumet, Mich., Sept. 22.—It is now certain that the "wild man" who has been causing so much talk in Calumet is a negro lunatic, who escaped from the asylum at Newberry in July, 1892. A letter from Newberry said that the negro was on the books there at "One Smith," that being the only name he was ever known there by. He was sent to the asylum from Delta county and is supposed to be 60 years of age. He made his escape from the asylum over ten years ago and no trace of him has been found since that time. There is no doubt, however, that the supposed "wild man" and Smith wanted at Newberry are one and the same person. Where the negro could have spent the last ten years is a question which is causing discussion among local officials. Acknowledges Complicity in Murder of Mrs. Anna Pulitzer. LURED TO HER DEATH. Derby, Conn., Sept. 23.—The man held by the police of this city in connection with the murder of Mrs. Pulitzer in New York is not only William Hooper Young, as was suspected when arrested, but the police say he has made a confession. Although his description corresponded closely with that sent out by the New York officials, the prisoner at first stoutly denied any connection with the murder, and even when he was confronted with a man who was formerly a fellow workman he still denied his identity. But last night, upon the arrival of a man with whom he was intimately acquainted, the prisoner acknowledged that he is William Young. From another apparently reliable source came the information that Young had said that he had an accomplish. How Crime was Committed. According to the confession the accomplice was in Young's room with him when chloral was given to Mrs. Pulitzer in a glass of beer and it was the hand of Young's confederate that administered the fatal dose. Young admits that it was himself who inflicted the awful wound in the abdomen. He says that was done after the woman was dead and that it was the beginning of a bungling effort on his part to dismember the body, an attempt which he was forced to abandon by its very gruesomeness. It was to Mac Levy, a physical culture instructor of Brooklyn, and Detective Sergeant Edward Hughes of New York that the prisoner admitted his identity. Levy, and the detective reached here last night and were conducted at once to the prisoner's corridor in the jail. The suspected man, who up to this time had insisted that he was Bert Edwards of Portland, Ore., was taken from his cell and met Levy in the corridor. Prisoner's Game Don't Work. "Hello, Hooper!" exclaimed Levy as soon as the prisoner appeared. There was no sign of recognition from the suspected man, but when Levy again saluted him he said calmly, "I don't know you." "Of course you know me," said Levy, and placing his hand on the shoulder of the prisoner he spoke in a low tone for several minutes. The prisoner said: "You should be sure of your identification. This is a terrible crime for which I am held." Then at the command of one of the officers Young began to divest himself of his clothing that Levy might complete his identification, but before he had finished he was led back into his cell. Mac Levy and Detective Sergeant Hughes accompanied him. There the officer told the prisoner formally the reason for his arrest and the nature of the crime of which he is suspected. The prisoner then for the first time admitted that he was William Hooper Young. He talked with the officer regarding his return to New York and expressed a willingness to go back at once without requisition papers. Young's Sanity Questioned. William F. Hart of New York, who has been retained as counsel for Young, talked with Young for an hour or more. At the close of the interview Mr. Hart said: "If this man is sane, if he is all right, I do not know what to think. His story is more like that of a madman. It is simply wonderful. I want to have him examined by an expert on insanity before I go on. His motive was not revenge." Young left this morning for New York in the custody of New York detectives. Eiling Unknown at Bridgeport. New York, Sept. 23.—No such man as Eiling is known in Bridgeport, and the police regard the confession as a clumsy effort on the part of Young to shield himself. Eiling is the name to which Young addressed the trunk to Chicago. Young says he expected Eiling to go to Chicago and claim the trunk. When the train with Young on board reached the station here, the passengers were told to keep their seats for a few minutes. Young was handcuffed to Detective Findlay and was led through a large crowd that had gathered to see him. He plainly was in a condition bordering on collapse when led up the steps into police headquarters. Declares Young is Innocent. Shortly after Young had been in the detective headquarters, Lawyer Hart appeared and said in reply to inquiries: "Young is an innocent man. The police believe they have got him on an alleged confession, which he made before he had legal counsel. It will be proven that Young was not even an accomplice. TROUBLE BECOMES ACUTE London, Sept. 22.—The dispute between Venezuela and Great Britain over the possession of Patos island has become so acute that diplomatic relations between the two countries are likely to be broken off. A diplomatic rupture would not, at is generally conceded, lead to hostilities. Patos, or Goose island, as it is sometimes known, has for many years been claimed by Great Britain. So far as is known the British claim has never been disputed. During the recent revolutionary troubles in Venezuela the inhabitants of Patos island have been shot and otherwise endangered. In order to protect the people of the island the West Indian authorities recently ordered the British flag prominently displayed on the island. Venezuela thereupon entered a vigorous protest and claimed sovereignty over the island. The British minister at Caracas has been unable to make any headway in an effort to reach an amicable understanding with the Castro government. SEVEN FORTS CAPTURED. Capt. Pershing Meets' Little Resistance in Fight Against Moros. Manila, Sept. 23.—Up to Sunday the force commanded by Capt. John Pershing of the Fifteenth Infantry, operating against the Moros in the Island of Mindanao, had met with slight resistance in the Macin country, and had captured seven forts, killed twenty-five and wounded twenty Moros. They were no American casualties. ‘WEDDING FOR RICHES.

It is oniy half-past 2, and she won't be here until after 4. I'll tell you what, Jack, I am going to ren down to Manhattan. This waiting is making me as nervous as a woman. I shall make a fool of myself if she chooses your painting. You don’t mind?” “Now” But the word was reluctantly spoken. However, Halston did not notice it. He caught up his hat. “Good-by, old chap. And you will let me know as soon as possible? It she chooses your painting, just wire the one word, ‘mine,’ and if luck is with me ‘yours,’ I shall understand it.” He wrung his friend's hand. “Good luck to you, Jack—although that means the reverse to me, doesn’t itz” The door slammed behind him, and Steadman heard him bound down the steep stairs two steps at a time. He gave a low whistle, heaved a sigh, and then, thrusting his hands into his pock- ets, he fell into profound thought. The two artists had long loved the same girl und she could not choose be- tween them, The state of affairs be- tween the trio grew from bad to worse. until there came a day when the two friends said that it was unendurable, that she was ruining their careers, and they implored her to consent to a plan which they. proposed. Their proposal was that they should each paint her portrait from memory. No names were to be affixed to the pictures, and when they were finished she was to choose between them. The artist whose paint- ing she chose was to be her husband. The girl demurred for a while, but in the end she gave her consent. $e Be ca ee Ce “J wish he had not gone,” muttered Steadman. “It’s awfully hard waiting here alone.” * He rose and paced the length of the studio several times, coming at last to a standstill before the two pictures. From the canyases a girl's loyely face looked out. In the actual painting there was little, if anything, to choose between them; yet, in looking at the one, you in- voluntarily waited for the girl to speak; in the other, you expected no such thing. “How ort earth did Dick get the soul into his?’ exclaimed Steadman savagely. an is splencid,” he muttered, ‘Splen- did!” He turned abruptly and fell to pacing the studio again. The girl’s face seemed to follow him with a half mischievous sinile at his diseomfiture. He threw him- self into a chair with his back to the pic- tures. But soon, as if against his will, he had moved the chair so as to face them again, “Why doesn’t she come?” he cried fiercely, starting to his feet. ‘Then’ a demon rose up within him and whispiered: “What if she chooses his? You know it is the better. Look at that rose she holds so carelessly in her fingers; can you not faney that yon smell its fra- grance? Don’t you expect her to step out of the canyas and speak to you?” _ Steadman drew his hand across his brow, “No one would be the wiser,” the voice went on, “Dick wonld go abroad at once.

Jack Steadman puiied himself together with a guilty start, and hurriedly drew a curtain before the two pictures. Then he went to welcome the anxiously await- ed_ visitors. “Oh, Dick has bolted,” he said, with a somewhat forced iaugh, in answer to Ethel’s glance of inquiry around the stu- dio, “Bolted?” There was surprise, anger and conster- nation in the girl’s voice. “Therewas scarcely necessity for that,” she remarked coldly. _You misunderstand me,” interrupted Steadman. “Dick has only run down, to Manhattan until after your decision.” iad: Dick!’ murmured Ethel to her- self. “Indeed,” she said aloud, with a con- temptuous little pout. ,Her good nature returned and she chatted gayly. “Now,” said Jack Steadman, going over to the easels and laying his hand on the curtain, “will you choose between these two pictures? .

There was a moment of awful sus- pense, then Ethel answered low and hes- itatingly: “I ought to choose that one,” pointing to the unhappy artist’s own painting, “for it is less beautiful and, therefore, must be more like me. But, oh!” with sudden rapture, “I cannot help but choose this! It is lovely!” “Lovely!” chimed in her aunt. “And look at that rose, dear! Have you ever seen anything so exquisitely painted?” “It is like the one I gave Dick the other night,” faltered the girl. There was a flush on her cheeks and a dignt in her eyes. “Yes, it is the same,” said Steadman quietly, “I begged it of Diek to put in oy ea Its color was so perfect.” “Your picture?’ There was a note of despair in the girl’s voice. - “Yes, mine.” Had either Iady looked they would have observed the ghastly pallor of Steadman’s face and the tense set of his mouth. But the old lady was still lost in ad- miration of the painting, and Ethel had turned aside to hide the sudden clouding of her eyes. “Come, Ethel, we must be going,” said her aunt, and she shook hands warmly with Steadman, saying: “1 congratulate you heartily on your great success and also on winning so sweet a wife. And you, Ethel, are a fortunate girl to have won so gifted a husband!” Age had dulled her eyes, She did not notice that anything was amiss with the girl, and neither of them noticed the man, “Goodby, Ethel!” There was anexultant gleam in his eye, Mechanically, the girl held out her hand to her future husband.

An Engine Built by Stephenson in 1822 Stil in Use. AN _ One of the original locomotives, writes a correspondent to the London Railway News, built by George Stephenson in 1822 for the opening of the line of the Hetton colliery, near Durham, England, between their works, a few miles north- west of Durham, and the Shaping staithes on the Wear at Sunderland, is still employed hauling the trucks at Het- ton, an is now, after eighty ca con- tinuous service, élaimed to be the “oldest working locomotive in the world.” The principal dimensions of this ‘‘old-timer’’ are: Dintneter of the cylinders, 1054 inches; Risteietpoke, 24 inches; diameter of the wheels, 3 feet. The weight of the engine is 15 tons, and it has a haulage capacity of about 129 tons at a speed of 10 miles an hour on a fairly level track. Its general design (excepting the cab) remains as originally constructed, while some parts, notably .the steam dome, are actually portions of the engine as constructed in 1829, After this long and faithful service, it is not surprising to learn that the engine is at last becoming unequal to the ever-increasing demands made upon it, and the directors of the Hetton colliery, therefore, and with com- mendable appropriateness, shortly intend to withdraw the relic from Hetton, and it will in the conrse of a few weeks tind a permanent “resting place” at the Durham College of Sciences, Newceastle- on-Tyne, where it will, be preserved to this ‘and future generations as a worthy example of the earliest period of locomo- tive engineering. It may be noted here that Stephenson's “No. 1 Locomotion,” built for the opening of the Stockton and Dariington Railroad in 1825, continued in working on “the first public highway” until 1850, when it passed into the hands of Messrs. Pease & Barner: by whom it was used for colliery purposes until 1857, at which time it was placed on a pedestal for exhibition at Darlington station, where it is to be seen today, so that not only in peint of date of construction, but also as regards years of “active service,” must the engine used at the opening of the first publie railway give place to that constructed for the Hetton line by George Stephenson four score vears azo. External Use ot Olive Oil. One of the most wholesome and nutri- tious articles of diet is olive oil, and it is as beneficial for external as for internal! use. It was the custom of the ancients, who were most luxurious in their bathing habits, to anoint the body with vegetable oils after the bath. Athletes and gladia- tors also anointed their bodies with oils. Roman athletes were in the habit of us- ing the freshly expressed oil of the olive to give agility and suppleness to their limbs. Some of the greatest beauties of whom history tells have aiso been prone to the use of oil. Mme. Recamier was in the habit of partaking freely of olive oil with her food and using it also after the bath. Her beautiful skin and clear com- plexion were doubtless due to this rather than to powders or paints. Tradition says that both Cleopatra and Zenobia partook freely of olive oil and used oils after the bath. In the countries where the olive flourishes, such as Italy, medi- eal practitioners use the oil very freely for a host of ailments. It is maintained in the Levantine countries that the ex- ternal use of oil prevents rheumatism. gout and other kindred maladies which are aggravated by external chills, and that the internal use of the oil removes the toxie condition of the blood which leads to the generation of these maladies. —~—Vevetarian.

Queen of Belgians Passes | After Life Full of Sorrows. SHE WISHED TO DIE. Bowed Down by Shame of Her an | band’s Escapadés—Daughter in | Lunatic Asylum. Spa, Belgium, Sept. 20.—Marie Hen- riette, Queen of the Belgians, who had been ill for @ long time, died here at 7:50 last evening. Neither her husband, members of her family, nor her majesty’s doctors were present at the time of her death. She was seated at a table cating a light din- ner when she wis seized with an attack of syngope. Dr. Guillaume, who, in the course of the day, had remarked upon certain disquieting sym;toms in the Queen's conditien, was summoned imme- Gately, but her majesty was dead before he arrived. Two members of her suite were with the Queen during her last moments, and other members of the roy- al family have been telegraphed for. Beloved by Her People. The news of her death, though long expected, has come with a sense of per- sonal loss to the people of Belgium, who loved their Queen dearly. She had spent her long life in aiding her subjects and oo Poe ae eae Cie Sige Sli Po So eee oe Ao i oe he SF Coo oe ee ee eS ee bie Mtge | fagee® 3 i i a hoe ee Par pee! 4 b I t OS: oa en ee Cit Oe at ee | oy ee yi 7 eke 2 | PS Roe Hoe Me oe ae me eee Ee Sy eee ay.

The illness from which she died was diagnosed as bronco-pneumonia, but pub- lic sentiment is that she died from a braken heart. The Queen also was noted for her piety and in recognition of her devotion to the church the Pope sent her about nine years ago a notable token of his high esteem fh the form of the Golden Rose of Virtue. THE QUEEN OF SORROWS. Henrietta’s Life Wrecked by Husband’s Escapades and Daughters’ Mesalliances. Marie Henriette was born August 23, 1836. She was the daughter of the Archduke Joseph, palatine of eee and Marie Dorothea, princess of Wuer- temberg, and the greet. oe of the famous Empress Maria Thefesa of Austria. In 1853 the young Duke of Brabant, with his father, King Leopold I. of Bel- gium, visited Austria and the heir to the Belgian throne fell in love with the young archduchess, then but 17 years old. Their wedding was celebrated with great pomp and magnificence. The union seemed a happy one for a time, The first great sorrow came to the Queen in the death of her boy, the Count of Hain- auit, when he was fo years old. For many years the King and Queen lived virtually a Ife of separation and ihe unhappy lot of the Queen brought her close to Ve husband's sabjects. Life Full of Troubles. Her sorrows multiplied. Her eldest daughter, like the King’s sister, Empress Charlotte of Mexico, was pieced in a lunatic asylum. This child, Princese Louise, was married to Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, It was she who | had the scandalous escapade with Lieut. Keglevitch of the Austrian Hugsars. Her lover was put in the penitentiary and she was declared insane. Her husband ob- tained a decree of divorce. The second daughter, Crown Princess Stephanie, lost her husband, Rudelph of Austria, in a shocking tragedy at Meyerlimn. Her only other child was the Princess Clementine, The execution of the Emperor of | Mexico, whjch drove his wife out-of her mind, was a terrible blow to the Queen, | who had been among those relations who urged him to accept the Mexican throne. For the past five years Marie Henriette lived practically in retirement at Spa with her horses and dogs. Her physi- cians treated her in vain and diagnosed her disease as broken heart. . Famous as an Equestrienne. In her younger days the Queen was famous as an equestrienne. Indeed, she and her cousin, the late Empress of Aus- tria, were considered the finest horse- women, eutside the professional arena, in Europe. She could ride a barebackefl horse as easily as one with a saddle, and could perform astounding feats with her horses, and had a private circus at one of her palaces, where she used to practice fancy riding. She learned conjuring from Hermann, the magician, and became expert at the art. The heir of the Belgian crown is the Count of Flanders, the King’s brother; but it is almost certain that he will re- sign in favor of his son, Prince Aibert, who was a great favorite of the Queen.

Crew of a Wisconsin Central Train Has * a Narrow Escape Near Oshkosh. Oshkosh, Wis., Sept. 22.—[Special.]— The crew of a Wisconsin Central freight train bad a narrow escape from death yesterday, when six freight cars and the caboose of their train were backed into the Fox river. The only reason that all the train hands did not fall into the water with the cars, was because all of them happened to be at the front end of the train when the accident occurred. There is a bad curve on the Wisconsin Central road in this city and freights are often stalled upon it. That was the misfortune of a train that crossed the bees and started north about 8:30 Bi m. It is customary for trains thus held to back across the bridge to the south side and get a fresh start. This the train referred to did last night. In the meantime the bridge had been et to permit a steamer to go through. curve prevented the acplouet from seeing the conductor’s ae to stop, and before the engine could brought to a standstill the rear end of the train had plunged into the river through the open raw. The bridge pyrene is said tlso to be badly damag: oe RATES ARE ADVANCED. Students at Madison Find Rent Consid- erably Higher Than in For- mer Years. Madison, Wis., Sept. 22.—[Special.]— The state university students and others connected with that institution will feel the effect of the present coal strike when they come to engage their rooms and make arrangements for board. Today marks the opening of the calen- dar year and the indications are, from the early demand for rooms, that this year’s class will be larger than last. At all events, whatever the cause, the price has gone up with a jump, especially where the handladies were unable or neglected to arrange for their winter coal before that necessary became a scarcity. At these places the price for rooms has gone up nearly 50 per cent. One landlady who rents a = house said that she had purchased her fuel early in the summer and had it all in her celler; she added that her rooms were all taken, mostly by those who had them last years, at the same price. Another said she would like to raise her rents for she was paying exactly double for her fuel. The board will remain at the same figure as last year.

The disappointment caused by the serious turn of President Roosevelt's injury, practically at the eleventh hour, necessitating the performance of a slight operation and the abandonment of his further Western tour, overshadowed the good people with anxious gloom everywhere, which, however, was soon happily dispelled by the rapid improvement in his condition following the surgeon's knife. Great preparations had been made by the citizens of this city to do honor to the nation's chief executive, and the announcement of his not coming came as a complete surprise. Already the city had filled up with representative Republicans, of greater or less magnitude, to be present at the banquet table. Principal among the former were such leading lights in the firmament at Postmaster General Payne and United States Senators Spooner and Quarles, several congressmen and local federal and state officials. Prominent among those from the interior of the state were Ex-Govs. Scofield and Hoard, Isaac Stephenson, Judge E. W. Keyes, Senator Stout and Ex-Speaker Buckstaff. The outcome of the gathering of such a large concourse of influential leaders naturally led to a desire to mutualize factional differences for the party welfare. A council of the leaders decided that Senator Spooner and Senator Quarles should take the "stump" and make a reasonable number of speeches during the campaign and both of these useful and faithful servants of the people acquised in the result of such deliberation. Although it would be in the nature of an imposition to ask too much of these gentlemen as they have been actively engaged in matters of grave importance to the people of the country for some considerable time, and are certainly entitled to some respite from the "strenuosity" incident to campaign work, since neither of them are any longer young. We do not mean to say that either of the gentlemen in question are what may be termed old, as a matter of fact they are both well preserved and in the very prime of manhood, but the continuous strain upon the brain cells and nerve tissue are contrary to the laws of nature and are inimical to a normal state of health. This extreme high tension at which we keep most of our public men of ability is disastrous to the individual and results in a premature old age and, too often, the grave. It is to be hoped that owing to party factional differences the people will be as regardful of the physical welfare of these two orators as they will be zealous for party success. Conspicuously noticeable among the absentees of the "magnates" were Gov. La Follette and the candidates for election upon the Republican ticket with him. Further than the above outline it is too early to tell what semblance of form the campaign will take later on. The governor, it is said, will formally set the ball in motion in this city next week and we may from now on look for the most acrimonious campaign that has ever taken place in the state of Wisconsin. For the time being we are passive spectators, but promise our clientele that we will let "slip the bloody dogs of war" now pent up in this sanctum, with all of the acerbity for which we are capable, at the proper time. We will patiently await developments. The Balance of Power. The Milwaukee Daily News under date of September 23 republishes an editorial clipped from this paper wherein attention is called to the balance of power held by the Negro voters in the states of the middle West and the base ingratitude of the party in rewarding them by an attempt on the part of the administration to build up a lily white party in the South. Without the states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois no Republican candidate could hope to be elected to the presidency and each one of these states would be hopelessly Democratic were it not for the Negro vote. We fear President Roosevelt is being misled by the theory that were the Negro out of the way Southern whites would turn Republicans. Democracy is essential to the Southern white. It is part of his life and without it he would be lost. Democracy is hereditary below Mason & Dixon's line and while the spoils of office may partially subdue the flames it cannot quench the fire. We congratulate the News on the stand taken and thank them for the publication. Republican Headquarters Opened by Gen. Bryant—Old Warhorse in Trim for Campaign. Gen. George F. Bryant, chairman of the Republican county committee, opened state headquarters last Wednesday at the Hotel Pfister. A noted gathering of leading Republicans of the state, who had gathered to greet the head of the nation, were present, strolled through the corridors of the hotel or chatted with the campaign managers. There were Senators Spooner and Quarles, Postmaster General Payne, Congressman Otjen, Hon. George H. Buckstaff, Senators Stout and Harris, ex-Govs. Hoard and Scofield and a host of others. Gov. La Follette was expected on a later train. Secretary Tucker is in charge and has an efficient corps of assistants. Senator Spooner in Town. Senator John C. Spooner arrived in the city Tuesday to attend the proposed banquet for President Roosevelt. The senator is in good health and, in fact, seems to look younger than he did the last time he was here. Hard work seems to agree with his nature. Mr. Spooner expressed his appreciation and gratitude for the support we are giving him for his reelection through the medium of this journal, as well, also, for the keen interest the race has manifested throughout the country in the outcome of his fight. BOMBARDED THE EDITOR. How One Author Succeeded in Getting His Story Accepted. This is the true story of two facetious men. One is an author and the other is the editor of a magazine. The author is mentioned first, not because he is of more importance, but because he figures first in the narrative. An author is never of more importance than an editor until he gets a reputation, and not always then. This author didn't have the reputation, but he had enough experience and nerve to answer all purposes. He was trying to tell a story to the editor, but the editor didn't seem inclined to buy. Thereupon the author threw down the gage of battle and began sending the editor merry messages with his manuscripts. "I am taking the magazines in turn, and it is your turn to buy," he wrote on one occasion. "Two editors capitulated last week, and I now have plenty of leisure to devote to you," was another message. "You'll save yourself a lot of trouble if you take this story," was one of his later threats, and he followed it with this cold-blooded announcement: "Every editor I have 'gone out after' has had to surrender, and I'll get you yet." He informed the editor that he was strong and healthy and could not be tired out; that he had eighteen stories yet to submit and was constantly adding to the supply; that he never did like a man who balked when it was his turn, etc. Then the editor thought he would try his hand at a joke, and he sent this crushing message: "We enjoy your letters very much—more than we do your stories." This ought to have settled the author, but it didn't. He came up smiling and scribbled this beneath the editor's note: "All right. I'll sell you the latters." He inclosed this with another story, and the editor took the story. His answer was laconic, but satisfactory. "We surrender," it said. "Inclosed please find check for your last story."—Brooklyn Eagle. THE OX-HORN INDUSTRY. How a Trade Which Has Reached Large Proportions Originated. A familiar sight in the business quarter of this city is the Russian horn peddler. The man himself is picturesque, having the strong features, dark skin, long beard and ill-fitting clothes which mark the Slovak, while his wares are always noticeable for their oddity. Sometimes it is the hatrack, consisting of two ox horns beautifully polished and fitted together at the butts upon a small wooden board, ready for hanging in a hallway. At another time it is a small three-legged stool, of which each leg is a great horn. Again, it is a gun rack, where the hooks are horns, yellow, white, gray, brown and black. If you desire it he will supply you with easy chairs, arm chairs and rockers, of which the entire frames are made of horns. Of similar construction are easles, music racks, picture frames, wall trophies and baby cribs. The industry was started about fifteen years ago by some poor Russian Jews near the kosher slaughter house. Before that time the horns were sold with the hoofs to the glue makers and button manufacturers. They brought but a few cents a pound, and the glue buyers had no trouble in getting all the raw material they needed. The manufacturers first prepared the horns by boiling and using alkalies. Afterward they found they could secure better results by treatments with cold alkaline solutions followed by antiseptics. After the horns have been cleaned, they are scraped and polished until they gleam like burnished metal. A few are varnished, but the practice is not recommended by the trade. INTERVIEWING IONAH. Scotch Lassie's Clever Answer to Skeptical German. A Scotch girl, rosy cheeked and demure, was in one corner of a compartment in a Continental train. In the corner opposite sat a heavy German. The Scotch girl was reading in the Bible. The German noticed the fact. After looking the girl over critically he asked her whether she actually believed all she found in the Bible. "Aye," answered she, raising her eyes to him from the page. "Not the story of Adam and Eve?" "Aye." "And of Cain and Abel?" "Aye." "But certainly you don't believe the story of Jonah and the whale?" The girl said she believed that, too. The German was puzzled. "But how are you going to prove 'it? Ask Jonah when you get to heaven?" But how are you going to prove t: Ask Jonah when you get to heaven? That idea struck the girl as a good one, and she said she could prove it that way. "Suppose he isn't there? What then? How would you prove it?" "Ah," said the demure maiden, "then you ask him." Nursery Rhymes Up to Date. "Yes," she said, "at last we have a book of really up-to-date nursery rhymes." "How does it differ from the old books?" "Well, by way of illustration, here is one of the revised verses: Needles and pins! needles and pins!

Answer to the Question, "What is the Greatest Happiness in Life?" I was asked the other day to state what I believed to be one of the most common faults in the character of the man of today. What impresses me most in analyzing the qualities that go to make up the character of the modern man is the wonderful variety that it present, and yet, through all the various types that you may sum up and sort, how rarely you find the quality of gentleness that is so peculiarly attractive in men, as well as in women. There is no doubt that every one admires a man whose character comprises the sturdy qualities, the robust elements, but no manly character is complete that lacks affectionateness and tender-heartedness. Strength in a man, without this human quality, is not beautiful, but rough and oftentimes brutish. There are men, I know, who have the foolish idea that gentleness of manner is effeminate, that it is not a manly quality, and so they take great pride in affecting a brusqueness that often verges on rudeness, thinking that they are cultivating a type of manliness that is highly commendable. It is, however, only the natural mistake of a narrow and egotistical mind. What is more beautiful than true nobleness of character? Is not heroic strength in the true sense of the world always gentle? You will find that the men who lack the quality of gentleness are the ones who do not seem to appreciate the importance of beauty and delicacy in outward forms of life. The lack of refinement is a disfiguring fault. A man does not necessarily have to be familiar with the laws of etiquette to have a gentleness of heart which cannot help give to his bearing and acts the truest refinement. He must have true politeness, which treats everyone kindly, a heart that is generous, courteous and, above all, unselfish. The man who recognizes this criticism as just concerning himself would do well to pay heed to curing his faults. Let him remember that, no matter what he is or where he is, he is daily, yes, hourly, altering and moulding the character of all those with whom he mingles. The influence of every act of yours is felt throughout the world. Let mothers begin and develop gentleness in their boys. You cannot begin too early. Your influence in that direction will be of benefit to all women, as well as to the men. Very fortunate is the woman who becomes the wife of a GENTLEman.--Margaret Stowe in Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. Dropped a Strong Hint. A Texas judge was robbed of a horse not long ago, and the thief, being apprehended, was brought before him for trial. The judge eyed the prisoner with deep satisfaction for a minute or so, and then delivered himself thus: "Owing to a personal prejudice, the court will not hear this case. It will be tried by the bailiff, who will find a verdict in accordance with the facts. "In the meantime," added his honor, impressively, "the court will go outside and prepare a rope, and pick out a good tree."—Chicago Journal. --- Our display of exclusive and charming conceptions in Modish Millinery includes the choicest productions of foreign and domestic millinery art.

Representative Lamb of Virgina tells a story about a little girl and her prayers. She lives in Petersburg and is just four and a half years old. Like all other good little girls she kneels every night at her mother's knee and, after reciting the Lord's prayer, silently adds a little prayer of her own. One night her mother, rather curious, asked her daughter what she had told the Lord, "Mamma," said the youngster, "I asked the Lord to please remove that mole on your face, but," added the little one, "I also told the Lord that I thought the mole had come to stay."—Washington Post.

Theodore L. Cuyler, D. D. | Many historical passages and personal incidents in the Bible illustrate great spiritual truths. For example, the uar- rative of the restoration of blind Barti- meus illustrates the process of conversion. The awakening sinner feels his need— prays for mercy—flings away his “gar- ment” of sin—comes to Jesus—and the Holy Spirit does the regenerating work.’ There is a Mme in the sixth chapter of Deuteronomy which describes the exodus of the children of Israel from Egypt into Canaan by the Divine guidance: “He brought us out from thence, that. He might bring us in.” That illustrates the out-bringing and the in-bringing of every | genuine Christian. First, there is a deliverance from the slavery_and condemnation of sin by the redeeming work of Jesus Christ. How constantly that expression occurs in the Pentateuch, “out of the land of Egypt, | out of the house of bondage.” The eighth | chapter of Paul's epistle to the Romans: is the believer’s magnificent song of ee liverance. There is therefore and thence- forth no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus. He brought them out from darkness into light, out from death into lite. No one can sing this “new song” unless Christ has accepted him, pardoned him, and made him free from the law of sin and death. John Wesley said that his first joyful sense of deliverance came when he realized the perfect security of every soul that is sheltered in the Sa- viour, I once visited the little room in London where this glorious light poured into Wesley's soul; it was the birthplace of Methodism. Does this in-bringing imply a perfect freedgm from temptation or the possibil- ity of any lapse into sin? No, indeed. The children of Israel had long marches, and severe discipline, ere the first foot step- ped into the promised land. Every ccon- verted soul must go in battle harness, fighting every furlong of the road to heav- en, I suspect that the first moment of ab- solutely sinless perfection any of us will experience will be after the gates of the “Father's House” have shut us in. Per- fect assurance never means perfect holi- ness, It means that Jesus Christ prom- ises never to desert us. Is not that) enough? Conversion does not only bring a person | out of an old position; it brings him or her | into new practices. Conduct is the test of conversion, Old sins are renounced; old habits sloughed off; there is another hand at the helm as well as other colors at “the peak.” When sharp Mr, A—— begins to do business on the square; when stingy Mr, B—— begins to send coal to the poor and gladly drops his “greenbacks” into the missionary plate; when churlish Mr. C—— begins to treat his poor relations kindly; when gay young D—— refuses to go to the theater, preferring to escort his good mother to the prayer meeting; when godless Mr. E—— sets up a family altar, there has been a new departure. There has been a bringing out of old ways, and a bringing out into new prac- tices; and if this continues, then Jesus Christ has been at work on those hearts. Conversion begins with first steps, some- times very small steps; but if it is genu- ine, it does not stop there. Vital and vigorous religion depends on a coming out of the old sinful ways, and coming thoroughly and decidedly and fearlessly into the life of honest conform- ity to Christ. The secret of the feeble ness and fruitlessness of thousands of church members is that they have never entirely broken with their former selves and their former sins. The soil of Egypt still sticks to their shoes, and the spirit of Egypt still lingers in their hearts. No man can serve two masters. “Come out and be ye separate” is Christ’s clear com- mand to every one who enrolls in his church, The Bible draws distinct lines; and no one can stand on both sides of the dividing line. On one side walks the Master, on the other drifts the worldling; and Christians need never expect to draw their frivolous fashion-loving unconverted neighbors over to Christ's side of the line by compromising. The moment that we walk one mile with worldlings they will compel us to “go with them twain.” Egypt and Canaan lie m opposite direc- tions. When Moses wanted to win Ho- bab he did not offer to stay with him: he said “come, go with us, and we will do thee good.” That is the only way to win souls to Jesus. Finally, what a new and cheerful as- pect this passage from the dear old Book gives to dying. It is a bringing out and a bringing in, that’s all. It is an escape from the toils, the trials and the tears— from the head winds and hard climbs, the sins and the sorrows of this old sobbing world into the rewards and the raptures of the Father's House eternal in the heavens. Jesus died to bring us out of the prison nouse of sin into the palace of his everlasting glory. “Out oif earth's weariness, trial and scr- Tow, Out of its cares and its fears for the morrow, Out of its restless, unsatisfied yearnings, Out of the fever of human heart-burnings, Out of the pain of night-watching re- moved, Into the sleep that God gives his beloved; Into the dawn of a glad resurrection, Into the house of unbroken affection, Into the joy of Christ—thus confessing Death in disguise is his Angel of bless- i ae CHRISTIANS MUST FIGHT. By Bishop Samuel Fallows. “Fight the Good Fight of Faith.” This world is a militant world. The kingdom of God upon earth is a militant kingdom. The combined forces of the world, the flesh and the devil are arrayed against it. The fight with evil is a good fight. There is no make-believe about evil— it is not a fancy, but a fact, and a tremen- dous fact. It is not a figment of ‘mortal mind,’ a shadow, a nothing, as the shal- lowest of would-be philosophers teach, making every valiant knight of the cross an exaggerated Don Quixote when charg- ing not an actual windmill, but only the thought of a windmill in a brain which has no real existence. The Christian belittles or belies his name who is a pessimist, whether from a physiological or philosophical point of view. To believe the world is growing worge is a treasonable surrender to the arch enemy of mankind. The whole sweep of Old Testament and New Testament teaching is toward the good, the better and the best. 3 CHRISTIANITY A HELP. “Seest thou man diligent in business he shall stand before kings and arbiters and not before mean man,” First of all, the spiritual life is enhanced and glorified by an honest business life. The spiritual does not antagonize the natural. There is no conflict, but mutual helpfulness. Christianity: never taught asceticism. Its devotees were to be in the world, yet not of the world. But Christianity dignified labor: Its founder became the son of a carpenter. His apostles were not chosen from philosophers and noblemen, but from fishermen and business men. The author of the gospel of Matthew had been sitting at the receipts of customs, a Jew- ish business man. A man too pious for citizenship is not an ideal Christian and ‘must render unto Caesar the things of Caesar. A woman too pious to attend to her household duties is not an ideal Christian. The intellectual life cannot be isolated or it will suffer. The painter must take nature as his model. The musician must have for his sounding board not merely ‘the subjective but the objective world. The scholar will not succeed abstractive- ly, metaphysically or aesthetically, but must grapple with material things. When the spiritual life is cut loose from daily business it becomes cranky, unsympa- thetic, morbid and mummified, like paper or feather roses—no perfume, no life. Let ‘the Christian do business as Christ would. Let him handle money, if he can Bet it, as Christ would. Let him vote as well as pray, and pray as well as vote, and show the world practical religion as ‘the promise of this life as well as that to come, that it needs not live upon ‘skim milk’ here to have ‘cream’ hereafter. If the spiritual helps the secular the secular helps the spiritual. We need religion in business and we also need business in re- ligion. Religion is no handicap to busi- ness, There are extremists in religion, but we should not make too many inferences from that fact. Poets and philosophers become abstractive. Thinkers become dreamers, philosophers forget to have their buttons sewed on, ministers are absent minded, but for that reason the poet, the philosopher, the preacher are not shorn of all beneficent power in the world, Faith and worship are not time worn. On the contrary, many a weary heart has gone forth refreshed. Business men do not commit suicide because they work too many hours, but it is because they are what is often called ‘all business’— no other thought or diversion, but a con- suming passion for gold enters their lives, and when they can no longer heap up dollars there is no other recourse and the monomaniac in an insane moment takes his life. Religion is often a safety valve. It is not a childish whim; its hopes are the very basis of our civilization. It is not impractical because it calls for the fourteenth ¢hapter of John at the death hour instead of a gasfitter or an electri- cian. The great problem is now to maintain an equilibrium between business and re- ligion, how to avoid worship at the shrine of gold on the one hand and to keep clear of fanaticism on the other hand. Jesus Christ proposes to help us make the ad- justment. Religion at its best is sane. It enters into everyday life. It may appear foolish to the secularist, but to the Chris- tian it is the wisdom of God. He is not ashamed to call God Father, or to be counted in the family of immortals. VALUE OF “APPRECIATION.” By Rev. G. D. Clewarfs Fault-finding is a poor spur to en- deavor. It is a great mistake to think that the best way to secure good work ‘from a servant is to harshly criticise ev- erything he has tried to do. A far bet- ter way is to speak words of encourage- ment. How much more apt a father is to scold his child when he does wrong than he is to praise him when he does right. How long some parents have to wait for any recognition of their devotion to their chil- dren. And sometimes it never comes un- til the loved one has passed from earth, when exquisite floral emblems are heap- ed upon the rich casket—too late, alas, to perfume the thorny road, and loud ex- pressions of regard mingle with lamenta- tions, but they cannot be heard by the ears that they should have gladdened long before. There should be less postmertem and more antemortem love. Teachers often err in showing ‘mpa- tience because the slow pupils do not see through problems as easily as they, do themselves. They forget.that they must take into consideration the time element. Pupils aré ehary of appreciation to their teachers rhe often ache-for some little word to indicate that their labor is not in vain, What a pity that terms of endearment and expressions of praise should so often end with the honeymoon. Why should a wife be less valuable after she has kept the tuble tempting and the home beautiful for ten, twenty or thirty years than she was the first three months? If words of appreciation helped to make her happy then they will work in just the same way now. Then let us not forget our God, whose goodness and mercy rise before us on ev- ery hand. Let us praise him. Praise him with the voice of joyful thanksgiving, with the heart of adoring love, with the life of generous, uncalculating, unresery- ed consecration. Death to Sin.—A natural death is the gate through which we pass into God's kingdom above, so death to sin initi- ates us into God’s kingdom on earth. With many people the Christian life is simply an orthodox creed, or a happy state of the emotions; but the apostle teaches us that the Christian life is a striking spiritual life—Rey, 8S. G.

Kerosene will soften boots.and shoes hardened by water, and render them as liable as new. To remove rust from steel, rub with kerosene, and soak for a day, polishing with emery dust and kerosene. Pour a teaspoonful of kerosene into each quart of boiled starch, for a gloss. This will also prevent irons sticking to thin goods. Kerosene poured on red flannel and ‘pound on the throat will greatly ease a sore throat. It will also heal cuts and | cure chilblains. _ All soiled spots found around door- knobs on light-painted doors may be removed by kerosene on flannel cloth, with no injury to the paint. Iron and polished steel, when not in use, may be kept from rusting by wip- ing with a cloth on which a little kero- sene has been poured. When giving the final polish te stove, before giving up fires for the summer, mix the blacklead “with a little kero- sene instead of water, to prevent rust. Rub lamp chimneys with newspaper on which has been poured a little kero- sene. This will make them much clear- er than if soap is used. They will also be less liable to crack. HENRY TOWNE IS WARDEN.

Galloway. From Dubuque he went to Jackson, Mich., as manager for the same company, and in 1891 came to Madison as general manager.

I was at Nash Sunday, visiting my sister, Mrs. Churchill, and Mrs. Depew, a widow. I left there on the afternoon 'scoot' and went to Ashland. I had been at Nash since Thursday visiting Mrs. Depew, Mrs. Churchill and other friends. During my stay at Nash I sent word to Miller to come and see me and got no reply. I saw him once Thursday, but he did not see me and I passed on. He was jealous of me. "Three weeks ago another man, in whose company I was, became angry and made threats at Miller and myself. He said that he would do something that would make both of us feel sorry. The happening of yesterday morning forcibly recalls his remark which I passed by with little thought. I have lived in Ashland about four years. I am 28 years old and Miss Dunbenaker is 19. I am not guilty of anything in connection with this affair and will prove my innocence." Revolver is Identified.

STATE SENATOR MILLS GETS APPOINTMENT. Named as the Attorney for the Spanish War Claims Department at Washington. West Superior, Wis., Sept. 23.—[Special.]—State Senator E. G. Mills today received a telegram from Atty.-Gen. Knox, notifying him that his appointment as attorney for the Spanish war claims department at Washington would be mailed today.

Appleton Young Man is Wanted for Securing Money Under False Pretenses. Appleton, Wis., Sept. 23.—[Special.] On the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, A. F. Moeser, a prominent young man of this city, is being sought for by the police. Several weeks ago young Moeser announced himself as being chief engineer of the Steinberg Construction Company of New York and in the prosecution of his duties advertised for twenty-four young men to go with him to Georgia, where he was engaged in surveying for an immense canal to be constructed next spring. As a security that the applicants would remain with the company after reaching their destination they were required to make a $25 deposit with the National Trust and Security Company of New York. Investigation on the part of several of the applicants evolved the fact that neither of the New York concerns are in existence. Moeser it is estimated had received about $400 from the various applicants. WOMAN FAINTS WHEN SHE IS SENTENCED. Madison Widow Stole to Furnish Her House—Was Soon to Have Wed. Madison, Wis., Sept. 23.—[Special.]—Mrs. Mary Horning, convicted of a systematic course of robbery of several people for whom she had worked, fainted in court this morning when Judge Donovan imposed a sentence of $50 fine and costs or two months in jail. She will probably serve her sentence. She is a widow and was to have been married shortly, and her many thefts were apparently with a view to setting up house-keeping. POSTOFFICE ROBBED. Burglars Break Into Store at Wilson and Carry Away Money and Stamps. Glenwood, Wis., Sept. 23.—[Special.]—The postoffice at Wilton, eight miles south of here, was broken into last night. The safe was blown open and $150 in cash and stamps and money order blanks were taken by the burglar. The postoffice is in the store of Postmaster Thomas Olson and this is the second time within six months that it has been burglarized. WAGES IN LUMBER CAMPS. Probable Shortage of Help Sends Salaries Upward. West Superior, Wis., Sept. 23.—The wages of swampers for the woods reached an unheard-of figure last week, at $35 per month and board, and now the wages of cooks for the logging camps have been raised. The latter are very scarce and one camp has offered $75 per month for one. Even in the large camps $60 is usually considered very fair wages for a cook. Men for all grades of work in the woods are hard to get and from present appearances there will be a shortage of help in the lumber camps this winter. FIND MATCHES IN CANS. Part of Stolen Property is Recovered at Manitowoc. Manitowoc, Wis., Sept. 23.—[Special.] —Proof accepted as conclusive that the robberies of fair week were the work of amateur talent was discovered Sunday, when Otto Radl found secreted in a tin can under the W. C. warehouse two gold watches, later identified as the property of Joseph Vilas and Sam Hall, whose homes are among the number entered.

Powers of this city and John Winter Everett of Milwaukee, which will occur Friday, October 3, at the Methodist Church in this city. Miss Powers was formerly a teacher in the Ripon public schools. RAIN SPOILS MADISON FAIR. Opening Day of Dane County Show is a Failure. Madison, Wis., Sept. 23.—[Special.] The steady rain, which has been falling all day, made a dismal opening for the county fair and the races scheduled for this afternoon had to be called off. The fair promises a big success under favorable weather conditions. Manitowoc, Wls., Sept. 23.—[Special.]—Jennie Cahol, a Green Bay woman, was arrested here today on complaint of authorities of that city charging her with the larceny of a diamond ring. She was returned to Green Bay. One of nature's remedies; cannot harm the weakest constitution; never fails to cure summer complaints of young or old. Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry. It's a Veritable Picnic Beside Some Business Women's Tasks. It is seldom that so true a statement concerning woman's work is seen as the following from the New York Sun: "Probably if women had never taken up business careers they would have gone on to the end of time considering the person who looked after the details of a home and planned three meals a day as a martyr who was fairly weighted down by the awful monotony of her lot. There is one person who will never take much stock in that old cry, and that is the woman who has been in the steady grind of a business career." Housekeeping is to a certain limit elastic in its demands; you can wash tomorrow if it rains today. But newspapers or magazines go to press on certain hours regardless of the elements or moods of humanity. There are many trying things in housekeeping, and it may be monotonous to cook or plan three meals a day, to make beds and sweep, but how about the stenographer who takes dictation for hours at a stretch, without a thought of the noontime siesta which all women are so often advised to take; or the girls in shops and factories, who work from morning till night, with no time to run out to gossip with a neighbor or to do necessary shopping? Housekeeping in its adaptability and variety is a veritable picnic beside other spheres of work, says one writer in commenting on the subject. A woman needs a year or two of business, not a teacher's life, to understand the good points in a housekeeper's trade, and girls who have come from offices or stores frequently make the best of housekeepers. They are more free from household traditions and there are a lot of these that ought to be forgotten. Had Crazy Spells. West Pembroke, Me., Sept. 22d. The 13-year-old daughter of Mrs. A. L. Smith suffered with a peculiar affliction which her mother describes as follows: "It is two years now since she was first taken with crazy spells. "They kept on coming at intervals and I could get nothing to do her any good. "The doctors gave me no encouragement. They all said they could not help her. "The crazy spell would last about nine days, then she would be well about nine days, but would eat very little and was very yellow. Even the whites off her eyes were yellow. "I heard that Dodd's Kidney Pills were a great remedy for young girls and decided to try them. "After taking one box she was completely restored and she has not had one bad spell since. Of course we continued to use the pills and she used altogether five boxes fast fall. "In March I thought I saw symptoms of the spells again and I got six boxes, of which she has taken four, and is in splendid health. "Her case was certainly a remarkable one, and we are very thankful to Dodd's Kidney Pills for the great good they have done my daughter." His Long Suit. "I was in Washington once," said a man at the club, "when Tom Reed was the czar of the House of Representatives. He was holding forth with earnestness on some theme to a group of friends when that man you see over there by the cigar counter pushed his way through the crowd, grasped Reed by the hand and said, 'Hello, Tom, old boy, how do you do?" "Reed responded in a manner that was more of a shake for the man than for his hand and went on with his talk. When our friend over there had edged out of the crowd someone said: 'You didn't seem to be happy over him, Reed. Who is your friend, anyway?' "Reed drawled out: 'He's a fellow from New York who knows more men who don't want to know him than any other man in the United States.'"

CASTORIA The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the d Signature of Mi of In : Use For Over Thirty Years CASTORIA Anti-Microbe Shaving. In Jermyn street is what is stod to be the only antiseptic, microbe-proof barber shop in London. The first impression is rather grimly suggestive of a private operating surgery. The walls are tiled. There is no upholstery anywhere. The chairs are of metal, with head subject to frequent disinfecting. The basins are made with pedal taps to avoid the contaminating touch of human fingers. Everything your eyes rest on seems to say: “There are no germs on me.” The barber is clad in sterilized overalls. He explains that that is to prevent any of his own personal and private stock of microbes from migrating to you. Before beginning to operate on you he dips his hands into some germ- destroying solution, and he assures you that the razor is sterilized afresh for each customer. From a capsule he empties into a sterilized vessel just enough soap powder to enpply the lather needed for one shaving job. It seems that danger may lurk in soap that has been used to shave some other fellow. The pages charged for the operation is sixpencé.— ondon Express. Se Friday Was Fish Day.

Scenes and Incideats of Everyday Life in the Paris of America, v® Judge Kirkpatrick in the United States district court at Trenton refused a writ of habeas corpus asked for by George W. Lederer, a New York the- atrical manager, who is seeking posses- sion of his G-year-old son, now held by Mrs. Lederer. Lord Rosslyn does not wish to be greeted as “Me Lord” or “Your Lord- ship.” He is an actor man now, playing under the pseudonym of James Erskine, and wants to be called “Jim” or “Old Man” or anything that will make him forget his titled greatness, Mrs. William Astor has another heir, a boy having been born to Mrs. James Lawrence Van Alen at Newport. The child is related to both the Astors and Vanderbilts, the mother being a daughter of Mrs. William Post, sister of Mrs. Frederick W. Vanderbilt. He is to be christened Frederick Vanderbilt Van Alen. Vanity Fair, a publication devoted to the printing of pictures of stage women, was raided by Anthony Comstock and as a result the editors were arraigned in the west side police court. According to Mr. Comstock, the publication contained an advertisement giving information as to. where obscene pictures could be ob- tained, Mr. Comstock wrote and got a set under an assumed name. He was shocked and got out a warrant. Surrogate Fitzgerald granted _ letters testamentary to Mrs. Virginia Vander- bilt, wife of W. IX. Vanderbilt, Jr., on the estate in this state of her brother. the late Charles L. Fair, who was killed in an automobile accident, together with his wife, in France a month ago. Im- mediately after the news of Mr. Fair's death reached here his sister, Mrs. Her- man Oelrichs, secured an order from Justice Giegerich authorizing a search for her brother’s will in the vaults of a safe company, but no will was found. “Disinherited because she’s an ac- tress.”. This is the unpleasant experi- ence of Mrs, Beatrice World, a member of the “King Highball” company, play- ing at the New York theater. The re- sentment of the rich uncle, Samuel Blu- menthal of Dresden, is not carried to the second generation, however, for the 3-year-old son of the actress receives $100,000 under the provisions of the will. Conditions attach to the inheritance that will make it impossible for the mother to touch it. A landscape by Corot, entered at a val- uation of $00,000, has been received at the public stores for appraisment. The customs officials denied all reqnests to inspect the painting and refused to dis close the‘identity of the eee Tf the yaluation is not raised by the appraisers, $10,000 duty will be paid on the picture. At this valuation the Corot would be probably the highest priced work of that artist in this country and among the highest priced paintings which have ever been imported. Richard Mansfield, after all, is not to have a double life on the stage this sea- son, A representative of Mr. Mansfield announced a few days ago that the star had abandoned the idea of appearing as both Brutus and Caesar in his coming production of “Julius Caesar.” He will probably choose to be Brutus. Mr. Manstield’s company has begun rehears- als of “Julius Caesar” at the Herald Square theater. The scenery and cos- tumes, which were designed by Sir Alma- Tadema, R. A.. and made in England, have all been received and inspected. | Beatrice Hastings, a chorns girl in the production of “King Highball” at the New York theater, is trying to find her husband, a vaudeville actor named John Caselo, who*has been missing for two years. Miss Hastings’ uncle in Dresden, ‘Germany, has died, leaving her 4-year-old child, Norman, a fortune of $100,000, pro- ‘viding both she and her husband re- ‘nounce all claim to the guardianship of the child. Miss Hastings, who, off the ‘stage, is known as Mrs. Beatriee World, ‘married Caselo against the wishes of her uncle, Samuel Rothschild, whe dis owned her. She and her husband were in yaudeville up to two years ago, when he left her, saYing he was going to South America. Miss Hastings now wants to find her husband and obtain his consent to give up all claim te her child, so that the bey can legally claim the money. ig ee a ee a ee oe ee F Five hundred dollars for a pair of stockings! This seems like a Babylonian dream, yet there is a shop in Fifth ave- nue which actually has them on sale. This pair was bought for a lady of rank and social distinctien. The conclusion must not be jumped at because the Duch- ess of Marlborough departed these shores that she was the favored one. Indeed, it may be said in confidence that she was not the recipient. Yet a young beau of this modern Babylon actually pushed $500 in currency across the counter to settle for a single pair of hose. Yes, they were silk, but they were also. some- thing more, Wonderfully wrought fleur de lis, set in emeralds and rubies, entered into the scheme of decoration, the whole giving an effect—well, the effect must be imagined. Cupid has invaded the Borough of Queens, heretofore known as the “single teachers’ paradise,” and as a result there are forty vacancies and not a single sub- stitute teacher on the list. The entire forty were included in the list made by the board of education this year, and herea-ter the question of marriage will be one that every young woman applying for a position as teacher will have to amswer, She will have to say if she has a gentleman friend, how long she has known him, whether she is engaged to him or to any one, if she expects to be- come engaged, if she is engaged how long the engagement has existed. if she expects to get married and when. In Queens it is said that the forty young women who have already left their posi- tions to beceme wives do not by any means number the entire vacancies that will occur before the year is out. : _ There are more flowers that bloom in the autumn than in the spring—at least in New York. This is a joke somewhat ‘similar to that perpetrated by the elder ‘Carter Harrison, who said that Chicago raised more wheat than Minnesota, then justified the assertion by adding that she raised it with elevators. The artiticial flower trade in New York is one of its big industries, and just now the manufac- ‘tureres are in the throes of preparation for the Christmas trade. In dingy lofts alone the less frequented thoroughfares hundreds of girls are employed turning the brilliantly dyed false fabrics into rich violets and blushing roses. The “girls” are of all ages and types. Stout women of 60, with grizzled hair gathered into uncompromising knots, sit by the pretty ‘girls with blonde pompadours; and the faces are refined or coarse, the dress slovenly or neat, according to the indi- vidual. The only quality in commnn is deftness at the work. After losing his daughter for sixteen years, Frank Rosbary, who is said to have -a$10,000a year position with the Pullman Company in Chicago, has applied to_the “Srooklyn police, through Mrs. B. Van Asche, his daughter's former nurse, to try to discover some trace of the missing girl, who is now 22 years old. According to the story told at police headquarters by Mrs. Van Asche, Mr. Rosbary and iis first wife were divorced sixteen years ago, and he was given the custody of his daughter, Marie, then 6 years old. The child soon afterwards disappeared and that it was the belief of Mr, Rosbary that his former wife secured possession of the little girl. All efforts to find Marie failed, Mrs. Van Asche asserts, and Mr. Rosbary, greatly distressed by the dis- appearance of his little girl, finally gave up his business in this country and went to Vienna, Austria, to try to forget his domestic troubles. Mr. Rosbary and his first wife had lived in Brooklyn previous to their separation. Unlike most semi-official and extra- official bodies the children’s court inau- guarted recently does not appear to be cumbering the ground. Now that it is in operation New Yorkers find them- selves wondering how they eyer got along without it. A typical incident of the court routine occurred the other day when a little Italian lad, hardly bigger than a pint of chestnuts, was charged with stealing four loayes of bread. “I tuk de bread,” the little fellow said, “because I was hungry. Me fadder’s a ragpicker an’ me mudder’s dead,” he said; then “fadder didn’t show up with ‘the breakfast an’ I wuz hungry. I walked out in de street, an’ on Broadway I scen de wagon full o” bread an’ I pinched de loaves an’ de cop he pinched me.” Here the little fellow broke down entirely and cried. “Guilty,” said the court, softly; “guilty without a doubt. We'll sentence him on Thursday, officer. In the meantime give him a bath and a good meal—above all a good meal.” William KX. Vanderbilt, Jr.. who de- clared recently that he did wot intend to live in Newport again, explained his reasons as follows: “I have no fault to find with Newport as a city. I think it is one of the most lovely spots in the world, and t és dear to me for many associations, as a great part of my life has been spent there. “But it has been made unbearable for me in many ways, particularly on ac- count of the manner in which the police have treated me. Others can violate the speed laws with impunity—earriage drivers, cabmen and bicyclists—but some automobilists, and myself in particular, cannet raise dust in the street without someone complaining, and the police are more anxious to press charges on the most flimsy pretext. “On my last appearance in court there was not a bit of evidence upon which I could have been convicted of speeding, for I was in my little runabout steam machine, which is hardly chpevre of ex- ceeding the speed limit, and, in fact, I was in one part of the city at the time I was alleged to have violated the law in another.” The complete quota of 2000 pty women for the exhibition under the di- rection of the Professional Woman's League, October 6 to 18, was, after much sorting, recruited in Madison Square Garden. Willidm A. Brady personally inspected each applicant and turned away hundreds who did not appeal to his artistic eye. He was assisted by Mrs. Edwin Knowles, president of the league. In response to advertisements for pretty women twice as many appeared as were needed. They were lined up in ranks, fat ones and thin ones, all ages, sizes and nationalities. The 6-foot policewom- en were first selected. Two hundred were engaged. For the street of nations Dutch, German, French, Swedish, Swiss and every nationality except ejataiye and Filipinos were secured from the ap- plicants from New York. Several young women rejected by Beauty Expert Bra- dy as “ugly”? attempted to “repeat” by coming back for inspection under anoth- er nationality. One miss who went with the Dutch squad remarked after she had been signed: “Ut’s all roight! The Oirish competition was too sthrong, so, begob, I’m Dootch!” ed Germany Adopts an American System. .

When it comes to buying or raising a dairy cow too many neglect to consider whether the cow, from her general appearance, seems to be fitted to do good work in the dairy or not. Now, it is to be admitted that you cannot tell certainly whether a cow is a deep, rich milker from her general appearance; but still, so large a percentage of the high quality cows of the land have certain external signs that have come to be regarded as the marks of a good cow that it is folly to overlook these marks when selecting cows for one's herd. One of these special signs that is extremely important may be comprehended under the term "capacity." In order to turn a large amount of hay, grass, ensilage and grain into A GOOD MILKER. milk and butter a cow must have a large, deep body and a large udder. The cow illustrated shows the great deep body and the splendid development of udder that characterize the big milkers. A cow's body is a butter and milk factory. You cannot expect to make much butter and milk in a small factory. The "wedge-shaped" cow has a deep body where depth is needed where the machinery of the body is at work converting fodder into dairy products. Notice the fullness, of the udder and then how well it runs up teats and the large, well-placed larvae, and its general appearance of large capacity. Such an udder, when milked out dry, will fall in loose, soft folds, like an empty bag. It is a good type to breed to. Plowing Under Green Crops. Plowing Under Green Crops. While we advocate plowing under green crops, when they are not worth more for stock food than for manure, we believe that there are some soils where this practice may do injury rather than good. If the soil is light and sandy, lacking nitrogen, or when it is stiff and needs to be made more porous, then almost any green crop is a good manure for it. Where it is low and wet, and perhaps has too much acid in it, a heavy crop of clover or other green manure will usually be an injury to the succeeding crop, unless it is given also a dressing of lime in some form, and we would prefer to pay more for a good phosphate of lime or fine ground phosphatic rock, with an addition or potash, than to use either slaked lime or sulphate of lime. Yet in a limestone soil we have seen green manuring work wonders, and so it will on land recently cleared, where the bushes and brush had been burned on the ground. Phosphates, potash and wood ashes may be put on to grow the green crop, and if used liberally will benefit that and the succeeding crops. Sowed on the surface and harrowed in they do not waste or do any harm if the amount is much more than one crop needs.—American Cultivator. How to Set a Hen. Here's a good way to set a hen. The nest is made in a roomy box, with a cover. Nailed to one side of the box is a little slat yard, slats on top also, in which water and food are kept constantly. The hen can go out into the yard at any time, eat and drink, and NEST FOR A SETTER. has no temptation to wander away and let her eggs get cold. Where several hens are sitting, a contrivance like this for each saves all bother of looking after them, to see that two do not get on one nest, etc. You put food and water in the dishes—the hen "does the rest." C. D. Young, in Farm and Home. Shade Enriches Soil. The complete shading of the soil rapidly enriches it, even without the application of manure. It may be that shading causes a deposit of nitrogen from the air; every farmer knows that wherever a stack of hay or straw has stood for several months the ground underneath is not only enriched, but grows much darker in color. Anyone may try an experiment as follows: Select the poorest spot of ground on the farm, lay over a strip of any length, but about a yard wide, a few inches of straw, and cover with a board, or, if preferred, lay only a board on the ground. If the place is seeded to something after the covering is removed the difference in growth between the portion previously shaded and that not shaded will be very marked. Status of the Farming Industry. There are 10,438,922 persons engaged in agricultural pursuits, while all other industries engage 18,845,000 persons. One-third of the entire area of this country is devoted to tilling of the soil. There are to-day 5,739,657 farms in the United States, and the value of farm property, including improvements, stock and implements, is $20,514,001,838. The number of farms has quadrupled in the past fifty years, while the value of the farming land to-day is five times as great as the selling price of fifty years ago. More than 1,000,000 farms have been laid out and fenced in by settlers, principally in the West, in the past ten years. Fifteen thousand farms were given away by the Government during 1901. When the Indian Territory is opened for settlement, about 1904, 8,000,000 acres of fine farming land will be offered for sale at low prices, and farming will receive another valuable acquisition to its ranks. There are 306,000,000 acres of unsettled land in the United States ready for immediate occupancy. The total acreage used for farming purposes is 841,060,000 acres—an area which would contain England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Japan and the Transvaal, leaving sufficient room for several smaller countries to go in around the edges. None of these countries, or all of them combined, would make a respectable showing with our agricultural products. The value of farm exports in 1901 was $951,628,331.—Review of Reviews. Yields of Cheese From Milk With ordinary milk the yield is about 2.5 pounds of cured cheese for each pound of butter fat in the milk. The cent of butter fat in different milks very nearly determines their relative values for cheesemaking. Professor Van Slyke found by a series of experiments that with milk ranging from 3.4 per cent to 4.4 per cent the amount to each pound of butter fat was 2.72 pounds of green cheese, or 2.5 pounds of cured, five weeks. It was found that 5 per cent milk made but 2.4 pounds of cured cheese for each pound of butter fat, but the better quality of the cheese from the richer milk was thought to compensate for the slight difference in quantity. It will be seen that a hundred pounds of 4 per cent milk made ten pounds of cheese and a hundred pounds of 5 per cent milk made twelve pounds of cheese. Corn-Husking Peg. Miles R. King, of Macoupin County, Illinois, writes in Iowa Homestead as follows: "I have not seen an illustration of the new husking peg, and since a great many of your readers would like to know about them, I send you a sketch husking peg, and since a great many of your readers would like to know about them, I send you a sketch of one that I have been using. It will require a short time to become accustomed to one of them after the old-fashioned peg has been used, but when once a person gets used to them he can make good headway in taking out corn. They are sold in all the markets, and consist of a stout strap with a hook attached, as seen in the illustration." Success with Poultry. Those people who do not have good success in hatching eggs under hens, usually will not do much better with the incubator. They may be divided into two classes, one that is careless and neglectful, and the other that is altogether too fussy, who wants to be stirring the hen, or feeding her, or handling the eggs three or four times a day. For either of these to succeed with the incubator there must be a thorough reformation; a determination to follow the instructions given exactly, and do no more and no less than is explicitly laid down, and to do it by the clock. This can be done, of course, but how many can or will settle down to those rules? Ideal Animal for Beef. Ideal Animal for Beef. The first point observed in an ideal animal of beef type is his form. This will approximate the rectangular. It will show a body that is compact, symmetrical, broad, deep and close to the ground. Legs are only of use to carry the animal around. He is "straight in his lines"—that is, the lines from the top of the shoulder to the tall head, and from the brisket back to the purse are as nearly parallel as possible, as are also those from the center of the shoulders to the center of the thighs, no deviation from the horizontal being allowed the top line. This will give the form a rectangular appearance. Get After the Borers. In August we get after the borers in the orchard. We find them by the wood dust around the stem of the tree. We go after them with a sharp knife and a small wire. If we do not get the job done in August, we do it in September, says Farm Journal. The True Hair Grower and Hair Straightener IS FOUND AT LAST.
