Hobson, hero of the Merrimac, who some time ago sought to be retired on account of an affection of the eyes, has been assigned to duty at the Pensacola navy yard. The assignment of the captain was made at his request. On June 8 last he was granted leave 19 CAPT. R. P. HOBSON. of absence that his eyes might improve, through rest, a retiring board having reported against his application. After he consulted other well known oculists and after examinations they told him he would be all right again in time. He now feels that he has sufficiently recovered, and he was immediately assigned in accordance with his request. ST. MARK'S NEW PASTOR. A Life Sketch of Rev. L. M. Fenwick A. M., M. D., E. M., Recently Appointed to St. Mark's African Methodist Episcopal Church. The Rev. Louis Madison Fenwick, M. D., the subject of the accompanying sketch, was born in Gentry county, Missouri, August 29, 1858, of honorable and pious parents, and is one of the most thoroughly educated ministers of the A.

When the new bishop comes he should make an investigation of the whole work, take things in his own hands, break up the rings and see to it that Dr. Fenwick receives his just and hardearned merits by giving him among the best of charges. As no sane person would deny that he is a success any and everywhere, there is none more acceptable or to be admired ministers than Dr. Fenwick.—Conservator of Chicago, Ill. "AERIAL POLO." A Queer Sport of the Birds on a Pacific Island. It became an amusing diversion to overturn the large flat stones beneath which the rats were hiding in solid masses, and watch them as they scampered in all directions, pursued and quickly snatched up by the man-o'-war hawks. These crafty birds were apt to learn that the appearance of a man walking on the island, especially with a dog, meant rats for them, and any one thus going forth was usually followed by a hovering flock, ready and impatient for the sport they had learned to expect. A rat brought to hand by the dog was quickly tossed in air, where the birds were ready to snatch it, sometimes with a contest on the wing for disputed possession. One form of this sport, a sort of aerial polo, which seemed to be as good fun for the birds as for the observers, consisted in tossing two rats into the air at the same moment, not singly and apart, but tied together with about six feet of strong twine. Instantly the birds made a dash for the rats, and the successful winner of the first prize went sailing off with one rat in his bill and the other swinging in the air beneath until snatched by the second winner, when, after a quick, sharp struggle and a taut strain on the cord, the bird with the weaker hoid was compelled to let go, which again opened the game to all pursuers. This then went on as a continuous performance, with somewhat Jonah-like but rapidly repeated disappearances and reappearances of the little rats, swallowed and reluctantly disgorged by the birds in quick succession, until the flock, thoroughly exhausted by their impetuous flight and extraordinary exercise, alighted on the ground for a short truce, when the two temporary stakeholders would be round sitting face to face, keenly eyeing each other from opposite ends of the string still connecting them, each anxiously on the sharp lookout for sudden jerks and unpleasant surprises, while all the other pursuers gathered around in a ring, waiting for the two prize birds to fly. The general aspect of all participants seemed to verify the familiar adage that the pleasure is not in the game, but in the chase.—From "Our Equatorial Islands," by James D. Hague, in the Century. TO GET WEALTH WITH BRIDE Lord Francis Hope's Star will Rise—Divorce from Mav Yohe. The marriage of Lord Francis Hope and Beatrice Ricketts will take place as soon as the decree of divorce he obtained from May Yohe in March of this year becomes absolute, says a London cable. The engagement of Lord Francis Hope and Miss Ricketts, whose grandmother, Lady Caroline Ricketts, was a daughter of the fourth Duke of Newcastle, was announced last June. Lord Francis Hope and Miss Ricketts are cousins. It is said that the marriage will considerably improve Lord Francis' financial condition. Some time ago, to mark his serious disapproval of Lord Francis' marriage to Miss Yohe, the Duke of Newcastle (brother of Lord Francis Hope), it is said, used certain powers of appointment and revocation adversely to his brother. It is expected that the Duke's action will now be canceled or modified. Secret of Making Cast Steel Stolen. The history of cast steel presents a curious instance of a secret stealthily obtained under the cloak of an appeal to philanthropy. In 1760 there lived at Attercliff, England, a watchmaker named Huntsman. He became dissatisfied with the watch springs in use and set himself to the task of making them homogeneous. He succeeded, his steel became famous and about 1770 a large manufactory of this peculiar steel was established at Attercliff. The process was wrapped in mystery, faithful men were hired, high wages paid and stringent oaths administered. One midwinter night, as the tall chimneys of the Attercliff steel works belched forth their smoke, a traveler knocked at the gate. It was bitterly cold and the stranger awakened no suspicion. Moved by motives of humanity, the foreman let him in. Feigning to be worn out with cold, the fellow sank upon the floor and soon appeared to be asleep. That, however, was far from his intention. He saw workmen cut bars of steel into bits, place them in cruisibles and thrust the crucibles into the furnaces. The fire was urged to extreme heat until the steel was melted, and then drawn out and poured in liquid forms into molds. Mr. Huntsman's factory had nothing more to disclose; the secret of making cast steel had been stolen.—Mining and Engineering Review. Skins of Rattlers as Barometers. The skin of the diamond-back rattler is utilized in Florida as a barometer. When preserved like rawhide and hung up the skin will begin to sweat at the first indication of a storm, even though several hours before the arrival of the atmospheric disturbance. SOCIAL LIFE IN ALASKA. She Says People are Able to Care for Themselves in the Territory.— No Need of Charity. A place where there are no poor people and where, consequently, there is no opportunity for charitable works, is something quite beyond the ken of most parts of the world, but that is the state of affairs at Juneau, Alaska, whence Mrs. Wythe Denby recently arrived, on one of her frequent visits to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Hayes of Milwaukee. Wis. Engage in Profitable Business. "You see," said Mrs. Denby, speaking of Juneau, where she has lived for the last four years. "the people who go out there are mostly well to do, and engage in some profitable business. Most often they are connected with the mines, around which everything centers. In the case of the laboring men, they are usually miners, and there is plenty of work for them, so that really poor people are altogether unknown. "Now and then, of course, miners drift back from the Klondike 'broke,' as the men say, but these can get work in the mines at good wages. So there is no chance to engage in any charity work such as is done by women in most other cities. Pleasant Society in Juneau. "Juneau isn't a large place, only about 2500, but we have the pleasantest society there, because, as I said, it is usually nice people who go there. Some delightful dinners are given, and there is no lack of delicious viands for them. People in the East sometimes think we are too far from the markets to have good things to eat, but they are mistaken, because everything comes to us. Only we have to plan longer ahead, perhaps, especially in the matter of fruits. But delicious vegetables are raised by market gardeners there, and the prices are not at all high—that is, for Western prices. "With the exception of theaters, concerts and lectures, we really have all the essentials of civilized living. We do miss those things, however. There is a theater there, but is only patronized by the miners and their families—the better classes never dream of going there. But there is the usual round of social life, receptions and teas and dinners and card parties, quite like any other city, and one meets the pleasantest people. "Then there are good shops, where one can buy just about everything and there are even good dressmakers and hairdressers, these constituting a sort of floating class, for they remain for a while and then move on. Most of the ladies come back to the states once or twice a year and do there shopping there." Electric Lights and Running Water. "We have been living recently, outside the city, near the mines of which Mr. Denby has charge, but even there we have electric lights and running water, and all the material things that make life run smoothly. "Juneau is very picturesquely located, lying on the side of a mountain. In fact, the streets are so precipitous that both roads and sidewalks are flanked. The buildings are nearly all of wood, but substantial of their sort. "We do not have cold weather there, you know. The Japanese current comes down past our shore and tempers the climate. The mercury rarely ever goes below zero. In the winter we sometimes have the taku winds, which come down from the north and blow furiously for a day or two. It is impossible then for women to go out on the streets. Men are sometimes blown over, and I have known of plate glass windows being blown out of their casings. Sunshine at Night. "It is almost the land of the midnight sun. Even when I left this time the days were fast shortening. In midwinter the electric lights are not turned off until half past 10 in the morning, and they have to be switched on again about half past 2 in the afternoon. Then in the summer time we have the long, long days—daylight almost all the time. Indeed, I have seen the sun shining on the high mountains at half past 11 o'clock at night. "It almost seems as if everyone came to Alaska these days, there are so many tourists. One of the pleasantest ways to make the trip up the sound from Seattle is to take one of the freighters. They stop at all the points which the excursion boats usually pass by, and the captains are so glad to have some nice pleasant people on boats that they will do everything possible to make the trip enjoyable. It is a lovely trip up the sound, but a dangerous one. In places the boats can only proceed at high tide and in daylight, and the course is marked out with buoys. But the scenery is magnificent. "I want to go to Dawson before we leave Alaska. I have been as far as White Horse City, and next time I must go to Dawson. It is a wonderful place." —Evening Wisconsin. Of Slow Growth.

Miss Oge, who appealed to Beale for protection, is almost prostrated by the outcome of affairs and very indignant over the scandalous story. GOING TO INDIA. Duke and Duchess of Connaught to Represent King Edward and Queen Alexander at Coronation Debar. DUKE OF CONNAUGHT DUCHESS OF CONNAUGHT On account of being unable to absent himself for so long a period, King Edward will not be able to attend the coronation ceremony that will shortly take place in India. In his stead will go the Duke of Connaught. The duchess will represent Queen Alexandra at the ceremony. A Wonderful Rose Bush In the town of Hilderheim, in Germany, is a rose bush said to be 1000 years old, and sprouts from its branches have realized enormous sums. Some years ago a rich Englishman offered $50,-000 for the entire tree, but the sum was indignantly refused. This wonderful plant clings amid thickly grown moss against the side of the famous old Church of St. Michael. It is claimed that it has bloomed perennially since the days of King Alfred, and this statement has never been disputed, for its record has been as carefully kept as the pedigree of the bluest-blooded family in the kingdom. It is supposed to have been discovered through the medium of King Louis of Hildersheim as far back as 1022. The Nile is the only river in the world that flows for 1500 miles without a tributary. EEE EEO MEH WILL NOT RETURN. Preserce of Entire United States Army Would Avail Nothing. LOCAL UNIONS ACT. Vote to Hold Out Until Demands of the Shamokix Convention are Com- plied With by Operators. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 8—The follow- ing official statement was issted from strike headquarters at 1 o'clock this aft- ernoon: At 12:30 noon fifty telegrams had been received from as many mass meetings In various sections of the anthracite coal regions, conveying the information that by unanimous yote of the men on strike, all of whom attended such meetings, It was resolved that the presence of the entire United States army in the anthracite coal regions would not induce the men to re- turn to work until the demande of the Shamokin convention had been conceded, the strike declarea off by a delegate conven- tion of mine workers, or by the district and national ee Similar tefegrams are constantly _belng received and it is expected that every min- ing town will be heard from by 6 o'clock tonight. ‘Thus far the returns emphasize and sub- stantlate the declarations of the officials of the miners’ union made at the Washing- ton conference, that the strikers are not deterred from going to work through fear of bodily harm. (Signed) JOHN MITCHELL. President Mitchell and the three dis- trict presidents left for New York at 3:05 on the Lehigh Valley railroad. They are due in New York at 8:30 o'clock tonight. Mr. Mitcheli and his associates refused to say wh™% their mis- sion was. Want Action, Not Talk. New York, Oct. 8.—The presidents of the anthracite coal roads and John Mar- kle have received a telegram from the committee ef the National Association of Munufacturers asking for a confer- ence tomerrow at. the Manufacturers’ Club in Philadelphia, Two of the oper- ators named have announced their inten- tion to decline the invitation, President Fowler of the Ontario & Western said that there was nothing new in the situation as far as his road was concerned, “This is not the time to talk,” said President Fowler, “it’s the time for ac- tion, We are trying our best to mine coal and will bend all our energies in that direction.” Attack on Coal Train. Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 8.—The first out- break of disorder since the marches and arrests of two weeks ago occurred at Williamscown last night, when an at- temnt was made to move thirty-two cars of coal from the siding of the Likens Vallev Coal Company. When the Summit Branch Railroad Company attempted to move the loaded ears. the coupling pins were drawn and the engine held to back the cars again. This occurred five times and there were some stones thrown at the cars. Finally the trainmen got the cars coupled aud started off with the train amid the hoots and jeers of men and boys. When the cars were taken throuch Wiconisco there was a demonstration and the train crew was jeered. Soon after the train passed through the town aud threw stones at the houses of men who had been working. No damage was done and the men a? away before they could be detected by the sheriff's deputies. An Unlawful Combination. Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 8.—Frank H. Thompson of this city began proceedings today in the United States cireuit court to have the Philadelphia & Reading rail- way, the Central Railroad of New Jer- sey, the Lehigh Valley railroad, the Dela- ware, Lackawanna < Western railroad, the Delaware & Hudson railroad and the New York, Ontario & Western Raiiroad Company declared an illegal combination because they are engaged in an unlawful restraint of the anthracite coal supply. Mr. Thompson also requests that the representatives of the companies ‘be re- strained and prohibited from meeting to- gether for the purpose of fixing the rate of coal or market price thereof.” One Company Makes Denial. Albany, N. Y., Oct. 8—The hearing which was to have been given today be- fore Attorney General Davies on the ap- plication to commence proceedings ‘against the coal carrying railroad com- panies operating in this state, which con- trol the anthracite fields in Pennsylvania, has been adjourned until October 15 at the jos eee of the railroad companies. The enusylvania Railroad Company filed an answer in which it denies that it is a party to any illegal combination. MITCHELL SAYS NO. Miners’ Chief Says Proposition of Presi- dent Cannot be Entertained. Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 8.—A request from President Roosevelt that the an- thracite coal miners return to work, and promising a full investigation of the dif- ferences with the operators, was au- swered in the negative by, John Mitchell, ag representative of the men, That the miners will abide by the deci- sion of their leader is considered certain. Reports from all points in the anthracite district indicated that few favored a re- turn to work until the operators at least have met the men half way. 'The proposition of President Roosevelt that he would do all possible to secure a settlement between the workers and em- ployers, if the latter would return to the mines, was Soeie to President Mitchell at Buffalo. He declared the plan impossible, and word was sent to the nation’s executive, through Samuel Gompers, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor, now in Washington, that the question of resuming work on such terms ¢ould not be entertained. Strikers Discuss Proposition. An officer of the union now in the city, who does not care to be quoted in the absence of President Mitchell, for fear that it would be coustrued as being olli- cial, said teduy: “The anthracite mine workers of Penn- sylvania appreciate the efforts being made by President Roosevelt to end the strike in the interests of the entire country, and ey have only words of praise for hin. owever, they hold that after sac- rificing everything for the iast five manths it would be unfair for anyone to ask them to return to work without a single concession, especially when the miners see victory almost at hand. “The hard coal diggers of Pennsyl- vania have gone into the ficht to win, and they would not be doing justice to themselves or to the great body of or- ganized workmen throughout the coun- try and other persons who have and are financially assisting them in the present struggle.” x Not to be Settled by Troops. ‘There is a feeling among some of these officials that the mere move of sending all the troops into the coal region may not have the desired effect in bringing about an early resumption of the. coi- Jieries. An official of one of the largest coal companies in the territory is au- Spcity for the sfatement that an early resumptien depends altogether upon where the officers place the troops. If Gov. Stone's order that “all men who desire to work, and their families, shall have ample military protection” is liter- ally carried out, instead of mobilizing the troops at certain points, then the com- panies will be able to make good progress in opening up the mines. “Iy the troops are kept in all commu- nities where violence and intimidation is racticed,” this official said, “there will fe no trouble. The difficulty now is that a man goes to work one day under the rotection of the soldiers and the next Say, after the neighborhood has been quieted down, the troops will be sent away and the willing workman is again ‘at the mercy of the Inwless element. Men ‘will not risk going to werk today when ‘they are not sure they will have protec- tion tomorrow or that their families will be cared for in their absence.” Return to Wilkesbarre. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 8—National Pres- ‘ident Mitchell of the Miners’ Union and ‘tie three anthracite district president re- turned to this city from Buffalo early this morning. The chief of the miners had nothing to say regarding yesterday's ‘trip and also declined to discuss Presi- dent Roosevelt’s proposition for ending the strike. Several of the locals met yesterday and last night. All of them voted to stay out and it is predicted that when the com- plete returns are in it will be found that ‘the vote to continue the strike will be nearly unanimous. | The mail matter received at strike headquarters is increasing as the ther- mometer goes down. Probably the larg- est mail since the strike was inaugurated i was received today. Scores of letters are | from eccentric persons, giving advice as to what to do, and many are received from persons who want the strike ended so that they can get coal. One postal card reached headquarters from Canada l'on which was written: | “Please take the advice in the third chapter, fourteenth verse St. Luke’s gos- pel and let us have some coal.” ?

Reading, Pa., Oct. 8.—About 100 cars of coal have passed through Reading down the road to Philadelphia on the Philadelphia & Reading railway since yesterday. Nearly ali_of it was coal from the washeries, For some reason fresh mined anthracite shipments have practically ceased. In the west end of Schuylkill county, where there are no troops, coal is being mined at Brookside, Good Spring and Lincoln collieries, the railway officials claim, Buying Coal Abroad. New York, Oct. 8.—At least 300,000 tons of coal—anthracite, bituminous and non-bituminous—have been purchased in England, Scotland and Wales for export to this side, according to estimates made today by paiparens and steamship agents. My. Mackey, in eharge of the coal imports of Barber & Co., steamship agents, said today that his firm. had 100,000 tons of the best Scotch and Welsh anthracite and all grades of bi- tuminous and non-bituminous coal. Of this amount 15,000 tons was coming to New York, the remainder to Philadel- phia, Baltimore and Boston. REAR-END COLLISION. Engine Plougs Half-Way Through the Mail Car—Express Messen- ger Killed. New York, Oct. 8—One man was killed and twelve persons injured in a rear-end collision of passenger trains on the Pennsylvania railroad near Menlo Park, N. J., today. The Western express was run into the local passenger train from Philadelphia. The mail car was on the end of the eps and received the full force of the collision. Fhe engine ploughed half way through it and the front of the mail car was forced on top of the coach ahead. The dead man was Courtney Silpath, an express messenger. Train No. 6 was about three and a half hours late and was standing at the Menlo Park station for the purpose of cooling a hot box. Knowing that No. 76, a local from Philadelphia, was due, the passengers on the express were told to leave the train and a fiagman was rushed back. There is a very sharp curve just at this point and the flagman had hardly reached it when the Philadel: phia train came around the curve at a high rate of speed. The engineer de clares that his brakes failed to work. Many of the passengers on the express had not had time to leave the train when the big engine crashed into the rear. Family of La Crosse Man Missing for Several Days—Murder and Sui- cide Feared. Keokuk, Ia., Oct. 8.—Police are search- ing this city and the surrounding coun- try for Mrs. Kate Huston and her four little girls. They are the entire famiiy of William Huston, who came here with them from La Crosse, Wis., one week ago, to start a feed store. Huston reported to the police that his wife had aise poesces last Friday night, when he reached his home, and had left no trace. The children range from 18 months to 11 years in age, and disappeared with the mother. A note was found lying on a table in the deserted home. It contained simply the name and address of a promi- nent business man of Keokuk, who says he never heard of Mrs, Huston before. The husband and the sister of the miss- ing woman fear she has killed the chil- dren end committed suicide.

There have been re- peated and simultaneous attacks on towns, and once a levy of tribute. The constabulary have attacked the ladrones several times with great gallantry and both sides have lost heavily. Business is ut a standstill. Reinforcements ars be- is sent to the island. t is believed that the trouble is caused by a general combination of the gangs that were recently driven from the island of Leyte. Widespread ladronism is ex- pected until the harvest time. The situa- tion is the natural result of poverty, the large number of unemployed and the scarcity of cariboes, MOB ASSAILS THE CARS. Strikers Resist Efforts of Railway Company to Operate Its Lines. SEVERAL BADLY HURT. New Orleans Police Charge Rioters and General Melee with Clubs and Pistols Follows. New Orleans, La., Oct. 8.—The first attempt to run cars from the Canal street barn which was made at 8 o'clock this morning resulted in a serious riot in which Policeman Schlessinger was shot through the head and probably fatally injured; Conductor Kennedy was shot in the hand; Motorman Ferguson, a striker, was shot through the arm, and a number ef policemen were painfully wounded by fiying missiles, Fifty shots Were fired during the disturbance. The Riot Begins. The first car which started from th> barns was in cnarge of Motorman Fred Nintz of Chicago and Conductor M. L. Kennedy. There was on board a large force of policemen and Peter Johuson and ‘Alfred Clark, the two men from Chi- cago who arrived here last night with a force of thirty men to take the art ot the strikers. An immense crowd of peo- ple, including strikers, their sympathizers and curious people, were on the street. As the car approached the corner ef Dor- genois street, members of the mob rushed out, tore up planking from either side of the street and threw it across the track. Then bricks and stones filled the air. Qbstructions brought the car to a standstill and a rush was made for the nonunion men on board. There was such a hail of missiles that the police and others on board had to duck to save themselves. As the car stopped numbers of bluecoats jumped off in an attempt to press back the strikers. Immediately a shot was fired. Then a perfect fusil- lade of shots came from both sides aud the car was enveloped in smoke, Two Men Terribly Beaten. In the meantime R. D. Kountz, a young man of Luray, Va., who was on the ear, ran out and attempted to clear the track of the planks and debris that had been thrown upon it. He was pelted with bricks and stones, but was perfectly cool and had pretty well cleared the track when the mob descended on him and overwhelmed him. Clark and Johnson were dragged from the car and terribly beaten before the police could fight off the mob and rescue them. Police Charge the Mob. Police reinforcements were rushed :o the scene and after a long struggle the space immediately around the car wis cleared. It was then found that Officer Schlessinger had been shot in the head, Motorman Ferguson, a striker, through the arm, and Conductor Kennedy in the hand, and that a number of policemen had been painfully hart by flying mis- siles, Fifty shots were fired. Motorman Nintz is charged with hav- ing fired the first shot from the street ear, Orders for his arrest have been issued, After the rioting the car was run back to the barn and it is now said that no further efforts to operate cars will be made until the troops are on the scene. The mayor sent today for Gen. Glynn, who commands the First _Bri- gade.

Nonunion Men Armed. All the nonunion men who were on the ear attacked today were armed and all of them are said to have used their weapons during the attack. Alexander Derby, a laborer and by- stander, was shot in the leg during the rioting. At 9:30 this morning, Manager Wood of the railway company announced his intention of cperating cars today, though | none had been run out of the barn up to that time except a mail car which start- ed at 7 o’clock and was allowed to pro- ceed in an uninterrupted manner by the mob which was in the neighborhood. The police, consisting of mounted men, and men on foot, were stationed along the street for the distance of 2 mile and seemed to have the crowd in hand more effectively than they did yesterday. Arrests will be Made. Jt is said warrants will be sworn out in the federal court against many of the men who participated in the rioting yes- terday, on the ground that the service of the mail cars was interrupted.

Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 8.—The state supreme court decided that the medical act of 1901 was constitutional. The court formerly held the act of 1897 con- stitutional, but this act was amended in 1901 by a definition of what constitutes the practice of medicine which was tu- tended to drive out of Indiana persons that go by the name of “professor” or “healer.” The state medical board is pleased with the outcome of the suit. The “healers” and “professors” may be attacked in many ae of the state. By some it is believed that the law applies to Christian Scientists. Ss Thickness of Glaciers. A few oa ago Profs.

FIND MONEY ON BUSHES. A VALUABLE CROP DISCOVERED In NEB-_.ASKA. Section Men Pluck Thousands of Doilazs Along a Railroad Way- side. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 7.—The fairy tale of money growing on bushes was re- alized this week along the right of way of the Burlington railroad, between Hy- annis and Alliance. A gang of section men were at work when ove of them neticed something that looked like a bill waving from the tangled top of a sunflower growing by the roadside. He investigated. It was a treasury note for $10, *He walked a few steps further and there, nodding trom a branch of a bit of dog fennel, was another bill of similar genomination, He called to his companions and the entire gang threw down their tools and started on a money hunt. For three hours they searched up and down the right of way and far akeld. At almost 2 yard their trouble was rewarded by finding either a tive or a ten-doliar bill, Some bills were tan- gled in the ee of weeds, others half hidden in bushes along the fence and still others in the stubble of the field. ‘The entire day’s clean-up of the eight was $2135. When the find was reported, word came from headquarters that a money pouch containing $2500 had been lost from an express shipment the day before. The supposition is that the bag fell out of the open car door and was ground t» pieces under the wheels and the con- tents were scattred to the winds. This hypothesis is supported by the latter dis- covery of portions of the damaged pouch_ VENICE IN DANGER. Church of St. Mark, the Palace of the Doges and Other Structures in Shaky Condition. | Venice, Oct. 7.—The Church of St. Mark, the Doge’s palace, the Procuratie Vecchie, the Zecca, and the Churches of ‘Santa Maria Gloriosa Dei Frari and SS, | Giovanni E. Paolo need prompt atteu- tion if catastrophies are to be averted. In St. Mark’s there is a crack in the great arch of the Apocalypse, aud t e arch sags downward almost a foot. [\ is expected that it will be necessary to remove all the mosaics of the arch aud that the brick wall behind them will have to be more solidly constructed. In the Doge’s Palace diagonal lesions are visible and it looks as though the briek work were tumbling outward. The correspondent says that this is not sur- prising, seeing that one of the chief iu- ternal walls was cut through in order to ‘make room for an elevator for the heay- ier books in the Biblioteca Marciana. In the Procuratie Vecchie there are serious cracks, caused probably by the wholesale demolition of internal walls ‘and the stacking of heavy goods in the Foomns aboy* the Colonnade.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 8.—Edward S. Bragg, consul general at Havana,.has been transferred to the post of United States consul general at Hong Kong, taking the place of William A. Rublee, who has Leen transferred to the consul- ate at Havana, The transfer of Consul General Bragg trem Havana to Hong dXong is undoubt- edly the result of an indiscreet, or rather undiplomatie letter which Gen. Bragg wrote to his wife shortly after arriving at his post in Havana. In that letter, which Mrs. Bragg gave to the news- papers for publication without thought of the effect it would have, Gen. Bragg stated that it would be about as easy to make a whistle out of a pig's tail as to make good citizens out of the Cubans. ‘This language was resented by the Cu- bans and was called to the attention of the state department at Washington and to President Roosevelt by the Cuban. min- ister. Gen. Bragg sought refuge in the fact that the letter was private and of no concern to anybody but himself and his wife. The incident was supposed to be closed for good, but today’s appoint- ments indicate that the officials at Wash- ington deemed it necessary to palliate Bragg’'s offense in some degree. William A. Rublee, who will succeed Bragg as consul general at Havana, is a son of the late Horace Rublee and was employed on the editorial staff of the Sentinel at the time of his appointment. FIRE IN OIL FIELDS. Workman Exposes a Lantern in an At- mosphere Heavily Laden . with Gas. Beaumont, Tex., Oct. 8.—Another de- structive fire, the second within a month, swept over a portion of the oil field last night, causing one known fatality and entaihag a property loss roughly es- timated at $100,000. The fire at 2 o'clock this morning is still burning, but practical oj] men declare the flames will scon subside. Thomas Rowley, a worker in the fields, was caught in the path of the flames and sustained burns from which he will die. This is believed to be the only casualty. The tire started-in a peculiar manner: Shortly before midnight a workman lift- ed the top of his lantern to blow out the light. ‘The atmosphere was heavily laden with gas and in an instant there was a flash, followed by a sheet of flame. The blaze was communicated to a small settling tank near by owned by J. S. Cor- bett. In an instant a derrick, adjoining the tank, was enveloped in fire and with remarkable rapidity the flames spread to other derricks in the Hogg-Swayne tract, which comprises one of the largest sections of the oil fields. The fire de- partments and hundreds of citizens rushed to the scene, but their efforts to check the flames were unavailing, Ex- citement ran high and in the confusion 2 rumor became current that tweive or fifteen persons had perished in the flames. This report was telephoned to many outside towns, but careful inves- tigation at a later hour showed that only one fatality occurred. ‘here are no gushers in the immediate vicinity of the fire and unless a strong wind should de- velop it is believed that the damage will be confined to the destruction of seventy- five derricks and twenty pumping plants. Big Blaze in Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 8.—The building of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company on Wa- bash avenue was destroyed by fire which started at 2:30 this morning. The loss will be $250,000, Jn the rear of the structure and facing on Michigan avenue is the Bucklen apart- ment building, which became filled with smoke as the fire progressed. An alarm was given and within a few minutes hun- dreds of persons were rushing from the building, some of them clad only in their night clothes. These were cared for by the oe and two fire companies were detailed to watch the building. After an hour’s hard fight Chief Musham declared a fear of any spread of the flames to tle apartment building had passed and announced the fire under coatrol, - it developed later that the fire liad probably been started by explosions of gasoline in the basement of the building. A policeman said that several panes of glass were blown out of the basement windows a short time after the fire was discovered, Loss will be Very Heavy. Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 8—The build- ings of the Moore & Handley Hardware Company, on Powell ayenue, the largest wholesale hardware house in the South, are burning.

THE SPRINTING ROACH, : How the Ant Played Upon his Weak. ness and Won. Once upon a time there wa, lived in a hole in the wall net: "90ct to a wise old ant. Now it happened th, ft the ant did not like the roach and wont gladly have murdered him but for the roach's size and great strength, which made the ant no match for him in a eon- test of sien The ant placed poison at the roach’s door, but the roach was wary and ate jt not. One evening, when the lady of the house came into the room to look for roaches, the ant called upon the roach to come out of his hole, hoping the lady would kill him, but the roach heard her footsteps and kept close. Next the ant tried to compass the destruction of the roach by daring him to climb up the side of the wall, hoping that the roach would fall from a great height and break his neck. The roach, however, refused to climb. Now it happened that the roach was a great sprinter and was very proud ot his ability to get over the ground in a hurry. The ant chanced to think of this, and, going to the roach, challenged him to 2 footrace. The roach accepted the challenge at once end stated that he could run faster with his front feet tied than any bandy legged ant in the whole house. The ant selected the spot where the foot race was to be run, which was across a Few sheet of paper on the window sill. Hither both the aut and the roach went and halted at the edge of the sheet of paper. | “Are you ready?” cried the reach. “T am!” shouted the ant. “Go!” yelled the roach, and with that started across the sheet of paper at aj dreadful place, only to fall down and stick: fast in a nauseous mire ere he had gone, two inches.

For three weeks now he had denied himself the exhilarating influence of Eleanor Duncan’s society. He was in- deed holding firmly to his promise—the promise he had given to his highest self on the day that Koy Hadley, all uncon- scious of the wound he was inflicting, impulsively confided to him his love for Eleanor. Even while he marvelled at Hadley’s blindness, Pearson had resolutely deter- mined to be loyal to the friendship which, begun at college, had strengthened into a sturdy bond seemingly impossible of dis- solution. Roy Hadley should be given a fair chance, as far as Pearson’s absence from ihe field was concerned. Thus the latter fed resolved. Thus he had acted, even to the present day—the twenty-first day since he had made this promise. Twenty-one days without glimpse of her! They were twenty-one months— nay, years—instead of days. Pearson began to wonder at his su- perb self-control and to congratulate himself upon the heroie strength of his invincible will. The fact that his unruly thoughts revelled in sweet imaginings did not as yet impress him as being ineon- sistent. So he steeped his soul in dreams of her and let delicious memories have their sway. It was not until the twenty-fifth day that his spiritual indulgence of his love impressed him with a sense of disloy- aity. The startling accusation of an aggressive conscience awakened within him a fire of rebellion. “I may chain my body,” he protested, “put not my thoughts, my longings, the very impulses of my being! They belong to Eleanor. They will always belong to her—to crush them would be to erush life itself.” The twenty-sixth day, nevertheless, found him struggling against the dear imaginings which heretofore had fed his love and compensated in some degree for the sacrifice he was making. Uncon-; sciously at first, then with direct intent, he strove to curb even the tender secret thoughts which, following the lead of his longing, winged their flight toward Eleanor by day and night. Meanwhile he avoided too frequent meetings with Hadley, nor did he en- courage further confidences. He at least need not force himself to endure another ordeal of that nature. ‘Then came the thirty-first day, when Pearson, looking heavily about him, won- dered at the blank desolation that had settled upon the earth. For four entire days he had sueceeded in keeping Eleanor out of his thoughts. But where now was the motive for living? Ambition, incentive, inspiration—all had left him. His heart was of lead, his soul of stone. Again rebellion shook him. “It is be- cause I have shut her out of my life! it is wrong—wrong! I love her—love her!” ‘The old influence swept ‘upon him once more, magnetizing his thoughts, thrilling his world with color. It was in the early afternoon that he strolled through the park in the veinity of Eleanor’s home. Of course he would not for the world break that sacred promise of his by venturing near her residence. He merely wished to breathe the pure air and witness the beautiful miracle of awakening spring. By no effort of will could he resist the onslaught of dear memories that at- tacked him as h> paced the pebbly paths and let the magie of that exquisite day thrill through him. Eleanor, Eleanor! The image of her shone everywhere. Radiant blue sky, delicious air, budding teen things, vast sweeps of velvety turfs, fragrance, sunsitine—and Eleanor! it was all Eleanor! He walked on and on, in a tumult of happiness. At a turn in the path a sud- den glorious premonition _ throbbed through him. He looked up. The im- age of his brain resolved itself into the real image. Coming down the path to- ward him was -the flesh and blood Eleanor, radiantly sweet in her- dainty spring attire. There was no mistaking the fact that her eyes grew Juminous at sight of him. “You!” she eried. “Where have you Leen all this time? One whole month!” Pearson murmured some unintelligible apology. He was aware of but one thing now—the intoxication of her actual pres- ence. “For shame, sir! I fear, after all, you are at heart a selfish recluse.” There was a bench near by and they unconsciously moved toward it and seated themselves. Pearson looked at her and tried to think of a fitting reply to her accusation. A soft haze hung pal- pitating before his eyes. Out of this haze her face smiled upon him. “You have, of course, seén Hadley?” he at length questioned. “Oh, yes—he comes very often. But yyou—you have not treated me as he has. You have forgotten me. Confess!” Pearson looked sternly at the ground. “Roy is a good fellow,” he said; “s splendid fellow! You have no idea——’ He paused vaguely. There was a long silence. “Why don’t you speak for yourself, John?” He started violently. Had his memory become vocal, or was it indeed Eleanor herself who had given utterance to the familiar quotation?” His gaze met hers and clung. In flash he knew—knew without doubt. “Dearest—dearest!” * . * . « After a while she tried to release her hand. ian fashion, right in sight of everybody?” “But no one is looking!” he protested “No one is jooisag and——” i leanec his head forward imploringly, “quick Eaeanor—just one!” _ “Are’t you ashamed?” she panted, rosy and smiling, as she tried to readjust her hat. “No, Tam not!” he declared. “I shoul: have some reward for thirty-one days o1 blank wretchedness.

They had all had a turn at it except an old sailor, who had remained silent all the time, until pressed by the others to spin them a yarn. He began: “I was once in a dreadful storm. All the provisions were washed overboard. I was very ill afterward and ate nothing for four days; at the end of that time I began to feel hungry, and the steward gave me beef, chicken, port wine and eggs.” “But you said all the provisions were washed overboard. Where did the beef come from?” “From the bullocks” (bulwarks), said the old sailor. “And where did you get the chickens from?” 4 “From the hatch.” “And the port wine?” “From the port hole.” “And the eggs?” “Eggs?” said the sailor. “I didn’t say eggs, did 1?” “Oh, yes, you did,” said the others. “We caught you now.” The old sailor thought he was caught, and had to consider.

TAKEN FROM INDIANS. Girl Claims She was Forced to Remain in Red Man’s Home—Found by a Lawyer. Sere en La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 6.—[Special.]— Ida Franz, the 16-year-old girl who dis- appeared a week ago Friday night and who, it was thought, had married an Indian, is once more under the parental roof, having been brought back from the La Pointe reservation near Ashland by Attorney Fred H. Hartwell, who was re- tained to look up her whereabouts and bring ‘her back. He cannot be induced to talk to ata phe about the details of the aftair nothing can be gotten from the parents, but from the tele- graphic reports from Ashland the search and reseue read like a dime novel. According to. special aispateies from the scene of the events, Mr. Hartwell arrived in Ashland late Friday afternoon and found that the telegram which had been sent by his firm to the district at- torney had not been delivered to the oat party, Hence he had to begin at the be- ginning. A visit to the coynty judge elicited the fact that a license had been issued for the marriage of Thomas Bea- son and the girl but that no hurryup order had been made. This gave the first glimmer of hope as the five days wait had not elapsed. . Goes Into the Enemies’ Country. Then at dusk, in company with Dis- trict Attorney A. P. Haagenson of Ash- land county, the La Crosse lawyer drove to the reservation some twelve miles through the pine forests and into the enemies’ country. Here a consultation was held with Norbert Sero, an Indian who is the deputy United States marshal and also holds the position of govern- ment farmer and who is considered one of: the finest and most highly educated trikesman in the Northwest. He had not seen the girl, but thought perhaps she might be secreted at the Beason home a mile and a half across country. The horse was put up and the walk be- gan. When the shack was reached the lights in it went out and the trio expect- ed trouble. Sero knocked at the front door, but got no response. The party then cocked their revolvers and burst in, only to find that the family had all gone to the lumber camp two miles away. A thorough search of the place was made, but the girl could uot fe found. Then the party went to the home of an old Indian named Horace Greeley and were told that no girl was there. Not satis- fied, however, Sero threatened to put Greeley in jail unless she was produced and finally the party were -informed that the girl was upstairs in the tender cus- tody of Greeley’s wife, a full-blooded squaw. Greeley told them the only rea- son he kept the girl there was that she had told them her parents were mean to her and she did not wish to go home. This the girl denied and said she had been attempting for days to get away but could not do so. Her explanation for going with Beason was that she “had to.” Wild Ride Through the Woods. She was placed in a carriage with the curtains closely drawn and the start made for Ashland, The night was bitter cold, the roads muddy and the forest so dark that the ceapents could not see their hands before their faces. The fact that there was danger of the Beason family and friends sree ag. to get the girl back made it necessary, however, to get to Ashland at the earliest possible moment. The La Crosse man,drove the horse at breakneck speed in spite of the fact that the road was new to all the party. When the lumber camp was reached Beason and a party of friends were in the road. The Ashland county man knew him well and the road was light in front of the camp. Trouble was expected, but the horse was whipped up and plunged past the crowd before they realized anyone was near. ‘The girl, frightened at the reckless speed, gave a little ery. The Indians stopped a mo- ment, but evidently thinking it was nothing of interest to them went on their way. They were just starting home. Once a shot by the road startled the party, but they did not wait to see from whence it came, and long after midnight, muddy and tired, they drove into Ash- land, where the girl was locked in a room at the aes Hotel and the key given to the clerk. In the morning she was driven to the station and after fifteen hours of rellroading reached this city. The girl seeméd drowsy as though doped or drugged when rescued. This would seem to help out the statement of some of her friends who say that at the Milwaukee depot she was given some- thing in a cup of water. Beason is only 24 years old and a good looking fellow. He mae the girl at the fair held here re- cently, COAL STRIKE DELEGATES. Gov. La Follette Names Twenty-two to Represent Wisconsin.

The ten years that have elapsed since the former review of the Grand Army here in 1892 have sadly decimated the ranks of the veterans. Most of the prominent figures in the first grand re- view have eos to their last bivouac. But those who still remain trudged vali- antly to the sound of drum and fife, and the vast multitude through which they passed greeted them with cheers. Although the procession was not to move until 10 o'clock, the swarming crowds were abroad early, lining the sidewalks and overflowing the great stands along the line of march, and even Rnnows and roofs were black with peo- ple, Formation of the Procession.

Sixty Thousand People Follow Remains to Grave—Dreyfus a Mourner, but Unnoticed. Paris, Oct. 6—Emile Zola was buried yesterday with simple but impressive ceremonies. Not a discordant note was heard, nor was there a sign of disorder, except at the close, when a few scuffles took place. Sixty thousand workingmen, many of them accompanied by their wives, marched behind the coffin, while the streets were crowded with an immoy- able mass. Municipal guards, mounted and on foot, lined the route, but éxcept for a company of ere which rendered military hon- ors to the bo ly as it was carried from the house to th: hearse, they were there as guardians of order and not as partici- pants in te ceremony.

Illinois Convicts Cut Off Their Fingers Because Prison Tasks were Too Severe. Chester, Ill, Oct. 6—Two convicts named Reagdon and Rose in the South- ern Illinois penitentiary here, chopped off three fingers each from their right hands with an old rusty hatchet iti order te avoid working in the foundry, where, they say, the demands made upon them were beyond their strength. As soon as the men were discovered they were taken to the surgeon, who dressed their wounds, after which they were taken to the prison yard and made to stand upon a block the remainder of the day. R. J. Watson, who was a keep- er over the foundry gang, resigned rather than be a party, he said, to such punish- ment. * A prison official, when asked why such punishment was inflicted on the men, replied that that was only the usual pun- ishment inflicted on prisuners for infrac- tions of the prison rules. GEN. PERCIN WOUNDED. Described M. Pollonais as a Renegade Jew and is Challenged to Fight a Duel. Paris, Oct. 6.—The death of Emile Zola was the indirect cause of a duel today between Gen. Percin, chief of the cabinet of the minister of war, and Gas- ton Pollonais, 2 well-known Nationalist writer, who was responsible for the state- ment that Gen, Percin met Dreyfus at Zola’s late residence and shook hands With him. The general in his letter re- plying to the question of Count Boni de Castellane on this subject, described M. Pollonais as a “renegade Jew,” and also told the count he did not admit the latter had any right to judge his actions. M., Pollonais then challenged Gen. Per- cin and they fought with swords near St. Cloud today. The general was slightly wounded in the hand. pat Se SE ae Fifteen Hundred Native Christians Said to Have Been Killed in Prov- f ince of Sze Chuen. - Victoria, B. C., Oct. 8—Advices have been received from China of the increase of Boxerism both in Sze Chuen and Chi Li. In Sze Chuen some 10,000 Boxers attacked Cheng Tu, the provincial capi- tal, and there are some sanguinary fights in the streets. The Boxers were held in cheek by the imperial forces and a re- port being proclaimed that reinforce- ments were coming for the garrison, the Boxers fled from Cheng Tu and en- camped at Shippantan, where earthworks had been thrown up. It is estimated that 1500 native Chris- tians have been killed in Sze Chuen. In Chi Li the Boxers are secretly drilling every morning before daylight, even in the vicinity of the capital. edema COLLIDED HEAD ON. ‘two Freight Trains Come Together on Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Road with Disastrous Results.

Rapid Growth of a Puppy. _ A few months ago a young man who is employed in one of the railroad offices of this city bought a very small pointer up. The dog ‘w steadily, but mainly i the head and legs, having no body to speak of. The lady of the househoid, like many newly married women, was making a thorough test of her husband's digestive pec by baking bread for the family. e pointer pup was now taking on the appearance of a genuine dog and put in most of his time looking for something to ag He fourd just what he was looking ‘or. Mrs. Newly-Wed had eginy a pan con- taining three loaves in the state of dough under the kitchen stove and had gone upstairs for a few minutes. Like many new ‘bread makers she was generous in the use of yeast, and her bread_was usually lighter than a sponge. When she returned the dough had been trans- ferred from the pan to the interior of the pointer, who was already showing signs of distress. The yeast was getting in its deadly work and gradually the dog's body began to swell. The head, which had pormery, been the most prominent fea- ture of his makeup, was quite eclipsed be- side the bursting body. The legs looked like toothpicks supporting a — keg. ‘The r pointer was now writhing in sean eee after several neighbors had pioneers various strenuous measures, an application of saleratus water brought relief.—Morning Oregonian.

As the campaign progresses certain newspapers and orators representing the faction known as the “Half Breed” ele- ment in the Republican party persist and delight in antagonizing those who op- posed Goy. La Follette before the con- vention either by innuendo or vulgar and outspoken insult. The time for such puerile pranks has long since passed; in fact, it should have ceased with the close of the convention at Madison last August. Up to the time of the renomination of Gov. La Follette the Wisconsin Weekly Advocate gvas a disinterested spectator upon the scene of discord that has been sradually undermining the Republican party in this state for the past several years. -But when in the natural turn of affairs the “fine Italian hand” struck « concealed blow at Senator Spooner’s of- ficial hexd,for good and sufficient reasons, we regarded it from a race standpoint in the nature of a personal affront and were quick to resent it with all the force at our command. Unwittingly we had been drawn into a controversy by the domi- nant faction, through its attempted at- tack upon Senator Spooner, without mal- ice or bitter feeling, further than the defeat of their efforts. When assured that the danger had been averted by a general and spontaneous sentiment in which the people of the state expressed unmistakably their de- sire for the return of Mr. Spooner to the Senate, we ceased to further spike our lumbering guns that had been trained upon the enemy within our own ranks and counseled for peace and harmony. As for the position we took from the be- ginning to the end, we felt that we were in the right then and have had nothing to change our belief since that our po- sition was either wrong or without war- rant. We have never claimed for this paper that it was the organ of any but the Negro race in Wisconsin, consequent- ly it is with an eye singular to its inter- est that animates our every action rather than the principles of political parties that we my or may not indorse, Our record in this campaign—fast be- coming memorable with each approach- ing day—is clear-cut and well defined; what we have said no doubt served our purpose. and we have nothing te retract. But what we earnestly desire and hope for now is success at the polls next month for the entire Republican ticket, and for this we are more concerned than with the foolish indulgences of hare-brained editors and half-cracked orators who ae engaged at “mud-slinging.” But there are instances that call for strenuous at. tention ‘when these idiots become to» Mlatant, and it is but justice to the party under whose colors they falsely sail that a halt was called before further injury ‘s done its cause. The Milwaukee Free Press, the chie! organ of the dominant faction, continue: to vituperate and assail Republicans an¢ with a bludgeon talks about harmony But it.has remained for young Mr Cochems, in his opening speech at Greet Bay Tuesday night, to cap the climax. It is hard to conceive how a man of 2% years of age, with the erudition and past experience of Mr. Cochems, could possi: bly make such a genuine ass of himsel! as he did upon this occasion. His entir¢ attitude, from start to finish, was vulgar: coarse, cheap and of the bar-room va: riety. He lamentably failed to discus: the issues at stake, in which the people of the state are concerned, but devotec his efforts to a general personal villifica: tion of Mayor Rose and his methods o! eonducting the affairs of the city of Mil ‘waukee, which is of purely local con cern. His flippant criticism of the lat Hagemeister, bill was irrelevant to, th prevailing issues; entirely uncalled for and disclosed a premeditated and willfu disposition to bully and browbeat the sup porters of Mr. Hagemeister in revengefu spite against the latter for his well known advocacy to the canse of Senatoi Spooner. In his audience were ladies, re fined and cultured, who were forced tr leave the hall before the speaker had fin- ished his tirade of abuse, with shocked and outraged sensibilities. There were also within his hearing young men who ‘are wavering as to the casting of their first ballot and older ones of maturer judgment who came to hear from the lips of one of the closest adherents of Gov. La Follette an intelligent arraigu- ment of the issues embodied in the Re- publican platform and for which Mr. La Follette is the brilliant advocate. It is time such billingsgate and blatherskite methods of conducting a campaign were peremptorily ended by Gen. Bryant and decent methods installed. It is a sad commentary upon the party of McKinley, Roosevelt and . Spooner when it fails to appeal to reason and the logic of intellectual argument upon the stump by its public speakers and repre- sentative press. Unless the tactics of the Milwaukee Free Press change for the better and a muzzle is put upon the barking orifice of young Mr. Cochems, Mr. La Follette’s chances for success will be considerably impaired. “Let us have peace.” . The Encampment at Washington. This has been the week for the old sol- dier at Washington. The national en- campment at the nation’s capital at- tracted general interest throughout this broad land of ours. It recalls to the memory of the remnants of what once composed the most formidable fighting force the world ever saw, in either an- j cient or modern times, when the deve of peace perched high upon their yicto- rious banners, as they wheeled into Pennsylvania avenue and marched twenty-four abreast past the capitol building for two solid days in “grand re- view.” After four years of the most sanguine war, through which the Negro was liberated from bondage as an expe- dient of advantage to the Union army and in which he at once took a conspicu- ous part, the enemy* was forced to sur- render to the superior power and better equipped army of the North. But the surrender, aside from being unconditional, was not marked by pomp of valorous and vain-glorious deeds, it was attended with the proverbial pity and sorrow for the defeated who had honestly and bravely contended for what they considered a constitutional right—state’s sovereignty, and the right to exteud hu- man slavery—such as fills the heart and mind of every true hero for his less for- tunate adversary. Time has mellowed the voice of the rebel cant and cooled his fiery passion. The institution of hu- man slavery, by which the Negro was stolen from his native heath and was the subject of traffic by the owners of “slavers,” was a- fundamental wrong at the very inception of the form- ation of this government and should fave been abolished with the de- feat of Cornwallis at Yorktown. For this error the nation, like the individual who goes contrary to nature, paid God's immutable penalty with its own blood. President Roosevelt received the be- draggled and begrizzled veterans as they passed in review for the last time from his carriage and received an ovation by the old warriors’ that shows to the youth of today that their patriotism and confi- dence is as unshakened in its strength of love and devotion to the greatest republic God ever permitted man to create, as when they enlisted in its defense forty years ago. May the youth of this gener- ation guard its interests and institu- tions with the same zealous care that these dear old men have in all of the years of their manhood. Begin at the cradle and teach the prattling “babbie” to love, revere and ever respect the Stars and Stripes as the symbols of all that is good in the government of a people, by the people and for the people. That the Negro must still contend for his rights is the result of former conditions of which education on the part of both white and black will satisfactorily adjust does not lessen the ardor of his love for country nor his willingness to fight for its defense. To offer one’s life for the sake of his country is the highest test of citizenship, and this the Negro has done ever since the death of Crispus Attucks on the Boston commons. The Negro is loyal to this government and is entitled to its pro- testion. The Negro posts were given prominent positions in the great line of march accompanied by Negro bands and were given enthusiastic ovations on every hand. Vale, dear capital! Vale, dear old Washington! May it continue to en- dure as long as the Almighty Father per- mits man to exist. Jew and Negro. We clip the following from the: New York Age: The New York Sun prints the follow- ing dispatch: Rome, Sept. 23.—The Tribune prints a letter from the Roumanian Prince Ghika on Secretary Hay’s note to the powers in regard to the treatment of Jews in that country. Prince Ghika says: “Supposing that Europe accepts Mr. Hay’s interference and consents to act in bebalf of the Roumanian Jews, what will Mr. Hay say if Roumania requests the power to intervene and stop the persecu- tion of Negroes in the United States and demand explanations in regard to the treatment of Filipino prisoners?” What could Seeretary Hay say? Noth- ing. He can ask the powers to interfere in behalf of the persecuted Jews of Rou- mania but he dare not protest against the persecution of Afro-Americans. This is one of the reasons, Mr. Fortune, why Negroes in Wisconsin are moving Leaven and earth to aid in the re- election of Senator Spooner. They can- not stand idly by and see the active op- ponents of the shotgun, Negro-burning and Negro-hanging policy of the South growing fewer and fewer in the halls of Congress, Negroes throughout _ the country should support only those Republicans who pledge themselyes to support such legislation.°as will ‘check and forever put a stop to these Southern outrages. A. protest from a European governnient, however insignificant, may be the only thing which will open the eyes of the American people to the faet that the burning of Negroes is the lowest species of barbarism, unworthy of civiliz- ation and second only to cannibalism, Bridle the irrespousible youths who are ranting about loose in the state by put- ting a curb-bit between their teeth. It will be to Mr. La Follette’s advantage to do so. It is time to sidetrack local differences and pull the party together. Just at present it is mighty hard wheeling. —_—_——— Abuse is the argument of the brawler and loafer and earries with it contempt instead of conviction. —_—_——_—_—_—_—— Not every man with the advantages of a university education is necessarily a gentleman, Mrs. Astor to the contrary ‘netwithstanding. sd At every opportmmity, and sometimes without one, ‘the “Half-Breed” pack show their teeth at their “Stalwart? brethren with an air of threatened de- fiance.

Cc. R. PARIS & CO.. Waupaca, Wis. Hercules Braid on Newest Lace Robes. Hercules braid has altogether taken the place of narrow ribbon ruching upon the imported lace robes. A beautiful Chan- tilly model gown has four rows of gradu- ating sizes run in and out among the in- tricacies of the patterns. They range from one to four inches in depth and are treat- ed by some process that makes them glossy, so that they do not appear at all incongruous upon the sheer tabrie. Ac- companying the waist is an adjustable ‘round “Nun's” yoke of the braid joined by Renaissance stitches, and there is also e deep cuff to use for the lower sleeve. One of cream Brussels net is run with bands of cream serpentine mohair gul- loon, put on horizontally the whole length of the skirt. At the top extremely nar- row braid is used, in pointed tablier fash- ion, but each succeeding row grows wider till the lowest one is in reality a broad flounce. A complete bolero jacket of the wavy mohair galloon is sold with the robe for a waist trimming cr to be worn independently. In a black point d’esprit, black Louis- ine ribbon is inserted lengthwise in strips that broadened out at her hem. They meet without overlaping at the waist. This “sunburst” effect is further empha- sized by a full side plaited ruffle of the net, put on in festoons and edged with narrow quillings. For evening wear the pattern of the lace is picked out in pearls and crystals, sometimes used together on one flower, at other times alternating. A particularly rich Renaissance robe is shown with mofits of white panne satin inserted so as to alternate with the roses of pink chiffon, scattered about the lower part of the skirt. The upper part is made altogether of the panne placed below cut-out lace, embroidered with ‘sil- ver thread and pink pearl beads. These are woven into a necklace shaped garni- ture for the bodice. Chains of beads fall in festoons over the lace drapings of the waist, and form the upper half of the sleeve. The other portion is an immense puff of pink chiffon, with medallions of lace introduced and joined by silver and pearl tracing. About as rich and handsome as any is a combination of black moire antique and Point Venise. The moire is the mir- oir watering and is inserted in lozenge shaped designs, with the jointings hidden beneath fine silk cord. The trimming is arranged to form a panel on the front breadth, and extend as a heading to the shaped flounce of accordion plaited chif- fon, which falls about the lower edge. The waist is an accordion plaited chif- fon blouse, with Venise medallions, and a slightly pointed yoke of the samé lace. A beautiful folded girdle of moire has the short sash ends, extending down the back, in the style now so popular abroad, Very dainty is one shown in pale blue. Chantilly of 2 small vine pattern is col- ored to match inserted motifs of pale blue panne velvet, so “crushed” as to have a frosted appearance. The motifs are irregularly placed over the surface of the waist, and extend down into the skirt in front to the very hem, branching off on either side above a suple flounce of rows of.

The curtain had fallen on the first act, and Lysaght, feeling for his hat, glanced inquiringly at his companion. “Not now,” Arbuthnot answered, looking about him; “I shall stay here until the next in- terval. By the way,” he added, as a thought struck him. “I have left some notes in my cigar case, and my cigar case is in my coat in the cloak room. You might bring it back with you—the cigar case, I mean—it is hardly safe to leave it there,” and he handed his friend _ his check. “You will find the case in the in- side breast pocket.” Lysaght took the check, and a minute later stood talking with some friends in the lobby of the theater. Not until the warning bell suddeniy purred briskly did his friend’s request recur to him. Then he at once went in search of the coat. * * * * * By the time he had obtained it, and discovered the cigar case and re-entered the auditorium, the curtain had risen. With some difficulty he regained his seat, for the stalls were crowded and the lights turned low, and seeing that Arbuthnot, now again engrossed in the piece, thonght no more either of his coat or of his cigar case, he refrained for the time from re- minding him of them. At the close of the act, however, he produced the latter from his poeket. “Why, whose is this?” his companion exclaimed, turning over with some curiosity the cigar case of beaten gold, inlaid with precious stones, that his friend had just handed to him. This isn’t mine, you know.” “Not yours? It was in your pocket.” “Tt can’t have been. The attendant must have handed you the wrong coat.” “My word! I suppose he must have. Quick, give me the case. I must return it at once.” This time they went together to the cloak room. On the pegs hung many scores of coats, the majority almost ex- actly resembling one another. The at- tendant, however, having hit upon one that he declared for certain he had hand- ed to Lysaght during the previous in- terval, the latter, with a feeling of relief, though not without secret misgivings, slipped back into its pocket the cigar case he had come by so inadvertently. * * * * * Basking in the sunshire of the Riviera some ten days later the two sat idly scanning their London newspapers of the previous morning. It was Arbuthnot who suddenly uttered an exclamation. “What is the matter?” his companion asked carelessly, without looking up. “A good deal, it seems to me,” the other answered dryly; “at least so far as you are concerned. Read that para- graph. It may interest you.” He handed over the paper, and Ly- saght’s glance fell at once on the follow- ing lines in leaded type: DASTRDLY THEFT FROM A NOBLEMAN “Man arrested on suspicion in a West End hotel. A clever capture has just been effected by the London police. On getting home after the theater on the night.of Friday before last, Lord Alger- non Railton, whose town address is 302 Grosyenor square, discovered that his pocket had been picked, a gold cigar case, set with gems, which he valued highly, having been taken from him, presumably as he was leaving the theater. Early on the following morning he informed the police of his loss, with the result thai the day before yesterday afternoon the al- leged culprit, who, it is believed, must haye been implicated in several similar robberies that have been reported of late. was arrested on suspicion in his rooms at the Great Hotel, where the missing case was subsequently discovered among his effects. Upon his being charged yes- terday with the robbery, he had no de- fense to offer. The case has been ad- journed until Tuesday.” For a moment Lysaght remained speechless; then .he quickly recovered himself. “We must return to London at once. Arbuthnot,” he exclainied, almost ex: citedly. “The..man is. innocent,. if. amy man ever was, and you and I must prove it. If we don’t he will be convicted fot certain.

Joe Jefferson’s Reminiscence of “Camiie” in Years Gone By. a ee eee According to the Times-Ledger Joseph Jefferson tells a story of “business” in the earlier days of the Walnut Street theater, Philadelphia. “Camille” was being played, and all was going with iv- tensity. Then came a scene between Ca- mille. and Armand, in the course of which a servant was to enter with lights. “In those days,” says Mr. Jefferson, “sea island cotton was stage ice cream, just as molasses and water were stage wine, sherry or port, according to the Gor tion of molasses. Armand and Camille were seated at the table, where they had been enjoying such viands as these, and their dialogue was making the very best sort of an impression on a crowded house. Then in came that maid servant with the wabbliest sort of candelabra. The scene was so engrossing that she was. scarcely noticed, but when she sat down with her burden between the lovers and one candle toppled out and put the ice cream in a blaze—well, the strain was broken. The entire audience burst into @ laugh, and the curtain had to be rung down.” HAD TO FLEE FROM FIRE. Michigan Village Seemed Doomed, but was Saved. Marinette, Wis., Oct. 9.—[Special.]—Fisher, Mich., was saved by a seeming interposition of Providence. All the women and children in the place had been taken away on a special train, as it seemed that the town was doomed. But, strange to say, the flames crept right up to the edge of the town, destroying a barn and doing some damage in the C. H. Worcester cedar yard, but then leaped beyond, impelled by a strong wind, and lodged in a cedar swamp. Fires are burning all over Marinette county, but they are in the pine toppings and serious damage is not feared. Village Totally Destroyed. The village of Kells, Mich., ten miles north of Fisher, was wiped out by fire last night. The cedar yards of the C. H. Worcester Company were destroyed with 20,000 pieces of cedar. Five houses which constituted the village were also burned up. Several children, who had been left in one of the houses, had a narrow escape, being rescued from the flames just in time. Heavy Losses by Fire. Oconto, Wis., Oct. 9.—[Special.]—Word came this morning that fire in the woods near Breed, this county, destroyed 1,000,000 feet of logs and 1000 cords of tan bark, belonging to the Oconto company of this city. Peter Lundquist is also a heavy loser as he was the contractor who was to put in the timber. No other damage has been reported as yet. The shifting of the wind late yesterday afternoon prevented the destruction by fire of several towns in the northern part of this county, Marinette county and the lower part of Menominee (Mich.) county. By constant fighting the forest fires in this county which have been raging in the northern woods for two days, have been gotten under control. People Flee from Fire. Iron Mountain, Mich., Oct. 9.—[Special.]—Forest fires are raging in this vicinity. The village of Niagara, seven miles from here, is threatened. A paper mill there lost 9000 cords of wood. People are moving their household goods from their homes. The fire is very close to the town All Danger Passed. Menominee, Mich., Oct. 9.—[Special.] —Word has been received from Faithhorn Junction that the fierce forest and swamp fires which have been burning north and west of her have about burned out. All danger is now about past. The wind changed, driving the fire back over the burned territory. Fight for Their Homes. Wausaukee, Wis., Oct. 9.—Forest fires are burning near Middle Inlet, south of here, and thousands of dollars' worth of property is in danger of destruction. The large farmhouse, barn and granery of E. Van Keuran and the lumber yard of George Dillon, east of the village, have been destroyed. Every man, woman and child turned out to fight the fire with buckets of water and neighboring towns sent assistance. Van Keuran's loss is $8000. Hundreds of bushels of grain, a large amount of hay, farm machinery, buggies and wagons were burned. The fires were started by farmers who are clearing land, and as there has been no rain here to amount to anything for weeks, the flames travel rapidly over the dry leaves and brush that cover the ground. Forest fires are also burning dangerously close to some of the settlers living east of Wausaukee and in some cases the farmers have had to resort to back firing. Model Farm Destroyed. Kenosha, Wis., Oct. 9.—The model farm belonging to former Congressman Isaac Stephenson of Marinette, located five miles west of this city, was visited by a disastrous fire yesteday, and as there was no fire protection on the farm all the buildings on one side of the road were completely destroyed, entailing a loss of from $8000 to $10,000. A blanket policy of $6000 covers the insurance, but few of the buildings burned were fully insured. The fire started in the rooms of the large boarding house occupied as living quarters for the ten men employed on the farm. It is supposed that a defective flue caused the fire. MISS NELSON CHOSEN QUEEN OF CARNIVAL. Freshman at the State University is Selected to Rule Over Madison's Street Fair. Madison, Wis., Oct. 9.—Miss Alice Nelson, a freshman in the university and daughter of M. L.

Sheboygan, Wis., Oct. 9.—[Special.] —Elizabeth Pfeifer is petitioning the circuit court for a divorce from George Pfeifer, aged 74 years. Parties are well known residents of Greenbush. The wife testified that the husband had accused her of putting paris green in his coffee with a desire of getting rid of him. The wife denied the charge, says the husband is crazy and asks the court for a separation. Judge Kirwan has the case under advisement. James Meenahan of Monroe Made Bequests to Those Who Served. Monroe, Wis., Oct. 9.—To each of the pallbearers at his funeral James Meenahan bequeathes $1.50 in his will, offered for probate today. St. Victor's Church Society is given $2000. THE PO By Rev. John B. Wakefield, D. D. Arise, shine, for thy light is come.— Isaiah ix.. 1. The Holy Scriptures ring the changes upon this word "light" in its application to the Lord Jesus Christ, and the work that he came to do. It was of his coming that the prophet Isaiah wrote when he said in the above text, "Thy light is come." It was of him that the older Balaam foretold, as "the star that should arise out of Jacob." It was to him that the prophet Malachi applied the glorious title of "the Sun of Righteousness." It was of him that St. John spoke as "the true Light that lighteth every man." Even in his babyhood the aged Simeon was taught of God to rejoice in him as "a light to lighten the Gentiles." When he was born God set in the heavens the lesser light of a mysterious star, to guide wise men from the East into the presence of the greater light. When he came to manhood and entered upon the work of his ministry, he spake of himself as the light of the world. Light and darkness are used as synonyms of good and evil to-day. The good man is said to walk in the light, and the bad man to walk in darkness. By those who lived before the coming of the Christ, and who knew nothing of the law that in so many things prefigured him, light was taken as the figure of what was pure and good, and darkness as that of what was evil, and needed in shame to hide itself. There is some element of truth and goodness in most of the old religious. When men worshiped the sun and the stars there was in that worship something that was inspiring and ennobling. Degradation did not come to a man through religion until he began to deify his own vices, and to make a god of himself, and of the things that he could make subservient to his own desires. In the worship of light there was an element of truth, a yearning after something higher than had been already attained, to which yearning God gave heed when he sent his Son into the world to become man's light. What, then, are some of the plain and practical lessons that we can gather from this word "light"? Well, whatever mysterious things can be said about light, and these are many, we can say this plain thing about it, that it is the medium through which we see all things. Light is the great revealer. We can never know the beauty of the beautiful things with which God's universe abounds except through the medium of the light. The part of Christ's work to which the word light more especially points is the teaching part of that work. With his work of willing sacrifice the word "love" is more fitly associated; but every enlargement of knowledge wrought by him, every new truth taught us, and every old truth brought more closely home to us, is a part of his work as the light of the world. And by common consent even of those who do not choose to walk in his light, if they have in them anything of truth and candor, he is acknowledged as pre-eminent among the world's teachers. They were not disciples of his, but enemies, who came back to their masters with the testimony: "Never man spake like this man"; and enemies as well as friends have continued to echo that testimony down to our own times. "The Light of the World" he called himself, meaning by that that none who cared to come to his light should be debarred or forbidden, that to come into his light is not the peculiar privilege of one nation or people, but the common privilege of all who will to come. When we note how nearly ooterminous are the words civilization and Christianity, it would seem almost as if the light of Christ had illuminated all the paths of knowledge, as if he had taught men science and philosophy, as well as religion. There may be something in the thought that God is more willing to unlock the secrets of science to those who seek to penetrate them in reverent spirit, giving glory to him; and that men are more likely to find a true philosophy when they give to him his place of preeminence in that system. But there are irreverent scientists enough to keep us from making overmuch of that thought, and there is enough of corrupt and goo-less civilization to keep us from accounting civilization and Christianity as words of the same meaning. So the word "light." as applied to our Lord, needs some limitation. He did not come to guide men into the mysteries of physical science. He brought no revelation about these mysteries to put a check upon human effort and research and a premium upon human indolence. What man can find out or does not need to find out Christ leaves him to seek for, or do without? What man needs for the right working out of his destiny, to make him the sort of man that God wants him to be—that Christ came to teach him. So the word light, in its application to Christ, is joined with and limited by the word "life." "In him was life, and the life was the light of men." "He that followeth me shall have the light of life." It is upon our human life, upon its origin, its destiny and its pathway of duty and privilege that the Christ came to shed his light. The origin of human life, what is that, according to the light of Christian teaching? Did man struggle up by a slow development out of lower forms, so that if there be a difference between him and other living things, it is a difference made by his own toil and effort, and he may pride himself on having realized the survival of the fittest, and in that pride may know no need of other religion than that of self-adulation? Nay, man came from the hand of God, bearing the stamp of the divine image, pre-eminent over all other creatures from the very start. And what is man's destiny, according to the light of Christ? Is it to die like dumb beasts and be forgotten, and to know no life beyond death? Nay, it is to go back to the God who made him, clothed upon with a glorious and unfad- ing body, such as we know not how to picture in this earthly life. And what is man's privilege, in this life that he now lives? It is to walk this earth in the thankful consciousness of his divine sonship. It is to have his body sanctified as a temple of God through the Holy Ghost. It is to have fellowship with the Father, and with his son Jesus Christ; and to realize through that fellowship a peace that passeth all understanding, and is incapable of explanation except to those who know it; and who, knowing it, need no explanation. And what is man's way of duty? Amid the clamor of discordant voices, bidding us this way or that, amid the blind promptings of passion or ambition, that beckon to the right hand or to the left, amid the bewildering differences of example set forth by our fellows, there stands one Guide, and over the din of those whose discussions of duty darken counsel by words without knowledge his voice rings out in tones of clear command: "Follow me." They who follow him find the light of life. Others see it in some measure. They can stand off at a distance and see him as a lonely star, shining out of a dark sky. But those who follow him find in his example an illumination of all the paths of life in which it is lawful for man to walk. He is the incarnation of all right and justice. His footsteps trace out that path of the just which is as a shining light, "that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." Thy light is come! Let not thy sin cast a veil between thyself and him. No other veil can intercept his light. Let it shine upon thee unhindered. And then, as when the dark body of the moon, bathed in the glory of the sunlight, reflects that glory back to the dark places of the earth—so thou, when the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee, arise, shine, testify of him to those who know him not, or know him little; and in gentler words, and nobler deeds, and purer life, let them take knowledge of thee, that thou hast been with Jesus. UNHAPPY LABOR STRUGGLE. Terrible is the suffering which is being caused in the little towns and villages where the Pennsylvania miners live. A lady who just left the village of Shickshinney, which is situated in the heart of the coal region, told me that there the men and women and the children were practically starving. More serious to the national welfare is it to think that hundreds of thousands, and even millions, of men, women and children all over the East are being indirectly affected on account of this miners' strike, in addition to those who directly earn their daily wages in the mines. Strikes among the brieklayers; strikes among the freight men; strikes among the builders; strikes among the sewing girls; strikes up and down this land in every direction. Strikes in time of financial prosperity. Strikes in times of panic. What are the causes of all these strikes? The object of this sermon is to try to adduce some reasons for the labor agitations, present and past, and to show capital and labor that each has selfishly erred and sinned. My object is also to show that if the employers, as well as the employes, would equally live by the Golden Rule, and love their neighbors as themselves, an era of national as well as individual prosperity, both financial and spiritual, would result, such as the world has never seen. Capital has sinned and helped to cause the present social agitation because it has ceased to make the laborers' interest its own interest. The present social conditions prevailing between capital and labor could not have existed fifty or one hundred years ago. In olden times the employer associated with his employe. The world does not owe a lazy, good-for-nothing loafer any lodgings better than the poorhouse or the county jail when he is alive, nor any burial place better than a grave in the potter's field when he is dead, but the world does owe every honest, faithful man who is willing to work the opportunity to work. THE MYSTERY OF PRAYER. By Dr. Charles E. Jetters. It is sometimes urged that prayer is mysterious. So is everything, if we stop to think about it. Matter is a mystery. Nobody knows what matter is. Force is a mystery. Nobody knows what force is. Gravitation is a mystery. Nobody knows what gravitation is. Nobody knows what takes place when we drop a lump of sugar into a cup of coffee. Whether the change is mechanical or chemical, the very wisest men are not able to say. We know just one thing, that by dropping sugar into the coffee the coffee is sweetened. For most of us that is enough. We know that by dropping a prayer into a day we sweeten the day. How this is brought about we do not know. Who has sight so keen and strong that it can follow the flight of song or the flight of prayer? Why should we not be as reasonable and practical in our religion as we are at the dinner table? Purgatory.—Purgatory, when stripped of false corruption, is a Protestant and Christian idea. One great church places it between this world and a final heaven. To me it is an integral part of this world, as of the other. All life tends to purge itself, and the earthly life is often called a furnace.—Rev. J. C. Smith, Indianapolis, Ind. The Will of God.—This is the will of God, even your sanctification. I beg of you allow no petty, peacemeal conception of holiness to dwarf your conception of God. He can direct your physical, mental and spiritual life. The will of God is my wholeness. This is the ideal of Christ, the perfect man. That is the will of God that we should be like him. God will have all men to be saved. It is not the will of God that any man should perish.—Rev. Dr. Jennings, Presbyterian, Detroit, Mich. Telephone West 272.

Railroads are the great civilizers, for they give the settler as well as the manufacturer equal opportunity to work in undeveloped fields, thereby rapidly settling the country and bringing forth its undiscovered riches. Northern Wisconsin is rich in iron ore, clay, kaolin, marl, timber and fine farm lands. It has made many a settler independent and added to the wealth of manufacturers who have sought this territory. Opportunities have not passed, as there is still a generous supply of land which can be obtained at low figures and on easy terms. THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL RY.

Uecke, Formerly of Appleton, Had $500 in Cash and Certificate of Deposit When Caught. Appleton, Wis., Oct. 8.—[Special.] After an absence of seven weeks, during which time he traveled the Southern states and Mexico and managed to evade the officers who were on his trail, C. W. Uecke of Seymour, Wis., a victim of sudden insanity who recently threatened the lives of all his relatives and compelled his brother, John Uecke, who resides in this city, to walk into the woods where he was kept under the point of a Winchester rifle during an entire day and night, was captured yesterday at Green Bay and brought to this city. The examination to determine his mental condition was conducted by three of the leading physicians of the city, who pronounced him mentally deranged. Uecke, however, demanded a jury trial, which was granted and will be conducted tomorrow before Judge Henry Kreiss. C. W. Uecke, formerly a reputable and wealthy real estate dealer of Ashland, Wis., is a prominent dealer of the Elks' lodge and declares the members of this order, together with those of the Odd Fellows and Masons, were conspiring against his life. He was seized with this hallucination several weeks ago and since that time has been armed with two revolvers and a rifle. Three weeks ago he called at the home of his brother in this city, and while seated on the veranda in front of the house he noticed the electric light flicker and promptly declared that it was the effort of his brother to extinguish the light that he might rob him in the darkness. Going into the house he procured his weapons and, under the point of the rifle forced his brother, under penalty of death, to take to the woods. Fearing the worst, the latter obeyed the commands and for nearly twenty-four hours the two men wandered aimlessly about in the swamps and woods. Becoming weary of his task, the insane man finally sat down and fell asleep. John Uecke took this occasion to escape, and, going to the city to notify the officers, he left his brother in the woods. The sheriff arrived promptly, but found the demented man had gone, and for three weeks Uecke wandered around the northern woods threatening the lives of all who attempted his capture. Uecke arrived yesterday at Green Bay and proceeded promptly to the home of a relative. The officers were advised of his whereabouts and he was finally taken captive. When arrested the demented man had on his person nearly $5000 in cash and a certificate of deposit amounting to $5000. Uecke is 35 years of age and belongs to one of the most prominent families in this vicinity. The relatives are at a loss to know what cause to attribute his condition and refused to permit the unfortunate man to be taken to an insane asylum. It is probable that after the jury trial he will be taken to a sanitarium at Milwaukee, where he will be kept until cured. THEY WED IN SECRET. Superior Couple Surprise Their Friends and Relatives by Announcing Their Marriage. West Superior, Wis., Oct. 8.—The marriage of Byron Pattison, only son of Martin Pattison, a large iron owner of the Minnesota range, to Miss Grace Bampfylde of this city is announced at a reception given at the home of the groom's parents last night. The couple have been married for over a year, but this was the first intimation given the public and in fact the parents of the bride and groom had know of the marriage for only a short time. The young couple attended the Superior high school. Obstacles were placed in the way of their marriage by the parents of the young man, who believed they were both too young. The young man was then sent to the College of Mines at Houghton, Mich. A year ago last June, however, the young people took matters in their own hands and young Pattison went to Canada, where Miss Bampfylde was visiting relatives, and the marriage ceremony was performed. The young people will probably make their future home in the western mining district, where Mr. Pattison is interested in several mining ventures. Romance Ends in Wedding. La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 8.—Miss Katherine McLaren, daughter of prominent La Crosse parents, is en route to Clarksburg, W. Va., where she will wed John C. Beck, an electrician, formerly of La Crosse. In the wedding is the culmination of a romance the first scenes of which were opened in the quaint town of Genoa, a few miles from the river, where Miss McLaren was visiting. She was adrift in an oarless boat and was taken aboard a river packet by Beck, who was employed as the ship's electrician. Fort Atkinson Teacher Weds. Elgin, Ill., Oct. 8.—[Special.]—The marriage of Miss Ethel Ogden of Fort Atkinson, Wis., formerly an Elgin school teacher, and William C. Gilbert of Chicago takes place today. They will be at home in Chicago after November 10. BIG PLANT BURNS. The Buildings of the Burlington, Wis. Malting Company are Destroyed by Fire. Burlington, Wis., Oct. 8.—[Special.] Fire was discovered in the plant of the Burlington Malting Company at about 10:15 o'clock this morning and the entire plant is in ruins. The fire is supposed to have originated from overheated shafting in the storage and conveying building and was first seen on the fourth floor, near the big storage bins. The upper floors were soon a mass of flames. The fire ate its way down and to the east to the big elevator and kiln building. The local fire department was compelled to lay nearly 2000 feet of hose to reach the plant and could not cope with the flames. The building was also supplied with fire hose and steam pumps, but these were soon put out of business. The plant was built four years ago by M. P. Petrie of this city and J. G. Mueller and John Ruplinger of Allenton. It was a monster brick building, the elevator and kiln part being six stories and the vat, malting and storage bin part five stories high. It had its own steam and electric lighting plant. The cost of the plant was about $75,000 and the insurance carried was about $35,000. Ashland, Wis., Oct. 8.—[Special.]—The jury which sat in the Davidson inquest decided that Dr. Davidson came to his death from an overdose of medicine taken accidentally. AT EAU CLAIRE NEXT. That City will Probably be Selected by Wisconsin Congregationalists' Convention. La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 8.—[Special.]—Eau Claire will probably get the next convention of the Congregational Church of Wisconsin. Milwaukee had it last year, so it is now out of the race Rev. E. G. Updike of Madison introduced a resolution concerning the coal strike, condemning the method of the coal mine owners and thanking President Roosevelt for his efforts in the matter. It was carried unanimously. The resolution also demands that the coal operators accord the mine labor unions as an organization the same recognition which they themselves demand. It condemns them for refusing to allow the laborers to organize when they themselves are strongly organized into a trust. The resolution sympathises with the laborers. Church in Fine Condition. The report of the registrar, Rev. A. H. Miner of Madison, was bristling with facts and figures concerning the progress of the church in Wisconsin. There are 260 CongregationrI churches in Wisconsin today, a gain of 15 during the past year, a showing that under all the conditions is considered by the delegates to be very good. The gain in membership has been 666, making a total membership in the state of 23,940. Deducting absent members it leaves 20,073. There are 49 more ministers engaged by these churches than last year at this time, making 269, of which number 165 are pastors and 104 without a charge. A peculiar coincidence in this relation is the fact that during the past year 25 ministers have left the state of Wisconsin and exactly the same number have come in. Fewer Sunday School Scholars The Sunday school membership has climbed up to 24,977, a gain of only 179, not very satisfactory to the delegates who consider that the Sunday school is the foundation of the future church and should show gains in order to show the church prosperous. There has been a falling off in another branch of the Congregational Church devoted mostly to the young people, that is in the number of Christian Endeavor Society members. Although there has been a gain of six in the number of these societies, the actual membership has been decreased by 444 members. There are at present 146 such societies in the state. Among the financial items touch, upon was a report showing $57,312 raised for benevolent purposes and $270,499 raised for home expenses. Last evening's programme consisted of the annual sermon by Rev. S. P. Wilder of Delavan, memorial addresses and the Lord's Supper administered by Rev. W. J. C. Bond of Boscobel and Rev. W. J. C. Ralph of Clintonville. Milwaukee Good Marriage Town. Two Milwaukee divines have led the impression to get out that Milwaukee is a good town for marriage fees. Revs. Ide and Titsworth were tardy by having been delayed to finish Cupid's work. Among the most interesting men at the meeting is Rev. E. A. Kidder of Eau Claire. He is nearly 90 years of age and was a missionary in this county before a church was founded here. Dean Birge of the University of Wisconsin, President Eaton of Beloit and Prof. Tawney are here, as is also Rev. E. G. Updike of Madison, who is so popular with the university students. WHY EMMA THOMAS IS SUSPECTED OF MURDER Evidence Introduced at Preliminary Hearing—She Had Threatened Miller's Life. Washburn, Wis., Oct. 8.—[Special.]—The preliminary examination of Miss Emma Thomas, alias Cassoday, charged with the murder of Michael Miller, superintendent of the Ashland & Sisk-wit railroad, was begun in the municipal court yesterday afternoon. The interest in the hearing is great and owing to the big crowds court was adjourned to the town hall. Fred Mitz was the first witness and gave evidence as to the finding of the body of the dead man. Other evidence was brought forward to show that the woman's whereabouts, during the hours when the murder is supposed to have taken place, is a mystery and that being jealous of the man she had threatened his life. The hearing was adjourned until Thursday. DANISH BROTHERHOOD'S NATIONAL MEETING Order is Holding an Important Session at Racine—Report of the President. Racine, Wis., Oct. 8.—[Special.]—The annual convention of the grand lodge of the Danish Brotherhood of America is in session with 160 delegates in attendance. The delegates were welcomed by Mayor Michael Higgins. P. H. Vogt of Davenport, Ia., president of the society, in his annual address said that at present there were 154 lodges with 8300 members. Since the organization in 1880, $245,500 has been paid out in death benefits, $85,000 in sick benefits and $11,-000 in charity work. The convention will continue through the week and officers will be elected and changes made in the bylaws. TOWN THREATENED BY FOREST FIRES Armstrong, Oconto County, in Danger and Nothing but Rain Can Check the Flames. Oconto Talis, Wis., Oct. 8.-Forest fires are raging in the vicinity of the town of Armstrong, this county, and large amounts of logs on skids are in danger. Unless rain sets in the loss will be heavy. Men sent up to fight the fire report that they are unable to make any headway. AGED MAN DIVORCED August Poesch, 80 Years Old, Has Long Matrimonial Record—Wife Married. Three Times. Sheboygan, Wis., Oct. 8.—[Special.]—Judge Kirwan has granted a divorce to Mrs. Eva Poesch from August Poesch, west side parties. The plaintiff, who is 58 years old, was granted $200 alimony. Poesch is 80 years old and this was his eighth venture. Mrs. Poesch had been married three times. Askeaton Man Terribly Injured While Running Machine. Askeaton, Wis., Oct. 8.—[Special.] While threshing on the Hayes farm here yesterday, in adjusting a belt on the machine, Peter Wall had his hand drawn into the gearing and torn to shreds, and he also received internal injuries which may prove fatal. BOY SHOOTS HIS SISTER. Was Cleaning a Gun when Accident Occured Near Abrams. WILL PROBABLY DIE. Martha Bolt, Aged 18, Receives Bullet in Her Forehead—Boy is Crazed with Grief. Abrams, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.]—Martha Bolt, the 18-year-old daughter of John Bolt, living one and one-half miles west of this town, was accidentally shot yesterday by the discharge of a shotgun in the hands of her younger brother, who was cleaning it, not knowing it was loaded. The shot hit her in the right side of her forehead. There is very little hope entertained for her recovery. The boy is crazed with grief. CLAIMS PROPERTY. Monroe, Wis., Man Says that Chicago Real Estate Belongs to Him. Chicago, Ill., Oct. 7.—A peculiar instrument, which has the tendency to cloud title to all property bounded by West Madison and Harrison, Robey and Wood streets, was filed for record yesterday. It came by mail from Andrew Layton of Monroe, Green county, Wis. The document is an affidavit in which Layton, who signs by his mark, makes oath that at no time has he ever signed any deed or quit claim to any part of this property. The latter contains eighty acres and is known as Ashland's second addition. The territory embraces one of the most thickly settled portions of the west side, and includes the Lewis Institute, the College of Physicians and Surgeons, recently transferred to the University of Illinois, and nearly a dozen churches and schools No title expert or real estate dealer in the city could be found yesterday who ever had heard of any transaction out of which a claim could accrue to Layton.

He admitted the men and commenced shooting, killing Caski instantly. Stang was arrested. RUSH WAS GENTLEMANLY. No Rowdyism is Shown at the University of Wisconsin. Madison, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.]—Yesterday was the big class rush at the University of Wisconsin. It was the most gentlemanly rush that has ever taken place at the university and throughout the whole hour and one half that the two classes opposed each other there was not the slightest semblance of rowdyism. There were no fist fights, no weapons drawn, no vicious treatment of either freshmen or sophomores. The two classes tried to put each other into Mendota in the best of humor. The sophomores were powerless to oppose the far greater number of freshmen, but they resorted to no unfair means to encompass a victory. Not a single man of either class was in any way seriously injured. This fact of the gentlemanly behavior of the participants in this year's rush is especially dwelt upon because every year the fair name of the university is assailed by newspaper correspondents who care nothing about the facts as long as they can send in sensational reports. ON ANTI-SPOONER PLATFORM Charley Roberts of West Superior Running Independently for Assembly. West Superior, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.]—Charley Roberts, who was defeated for Republican nomination by Assemblyman Irvine Lenroot, has come out as an independent candidate.

DISCUSS EDUCATION. The State Congregational Convention is Now in Session at La Crosse. La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.]— The cause of education in the state will take up a greater portion of the time of the state Congregational convention in session here. There are several college presidents in attendance, among them the heads of Beloit and Ripon, and all will talk on the subject. The delegates began to arrive yesterday noon and by this morning most of the 300 expected had arrived. They represent Congregational churches all over the state. It is the sixty-second annual meeting of the church in Wisconsin and it attended by many who have seen the institution grow from its infancy. It opened informally with a reception of the visitors in the church parlors of the First Congregational church here last evening. The meeting was devoted to the most part to the delegates getting acquainted. The convention proper opened this morning at 8:30 with the report of the registrar and committees. It was about 11 o'clock before Rev. T. S. Kidder of Ripon arose to make the first address of the convention on "What About Our Academies?" This afternoon four addresses are to be made by each of the following; Rev. F. P. Stiles, Sparta; Rev. J. G. Smith, Tomah; Prof. G. A. Tawney of Beloit and Rev. J. P. Deane of Ashland. This evening Dr. S. P. Wilder of Delavan will deliver the annual sermon. ON MURDER CHARGE. Sensation in the Shooting of an Alleged Maniac Near Wau- Marinette, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.]— Otto Wenzel, the man who shot the alleged insane man near Wausaukee, has been bound over to circuit court on the charge of murder. On the examination it was proven that the deceased was shot first through the leg and then four times in the back as he was running away. This discovery has caused a sensation. It has been ascertained that the alleged insane man killed near Wausaukee was George Arnold, son of Phillip Arnold, living at Kewaunee. The father is a wealthy man. Two men fired at him, Otto Wenzel, who was bound over to the circuit court, and Charles Olsen, the cook, who fired five shots at him. The defendants justify themselves by saying that they thought he was running to get a vantage point so as to shoot them. Mr. Arnold arrived this morning at Wausaukee to investigate the matter. THREE INJURED IN RUNAWAY ACCIDENTS. Series of Mishaps at Galesville May Cause Death of Some of the Victims. Galesville, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.] Three runaway accidents have occurred in this vicinity during the past twenty-four hours. Mrs. M. Abram, aged 65 years, was thrown from a wagon and badly hurt. Her breast bone was crushed in and three ribs fractured. John Jones, a farmer, all but lost his life while operating a potato digging machine. The team ran away, throwing Jones beneath the shovels.

ROUTE OF ROAD CHANGED. New Omaha Extension will Run Into Medford. Chippewa Falls, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.]—The order from President Hughitt of the North-Western road to suspend work on the Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls & Northeastern, the new Omaha extension north from this city, does not apply to the work now under way as far as Little Falls dam, thirty-five miles from here. That part of the line will be pushed with all possible speed. The part of construction referred to lies east of the Yellow river and the intention is to change the survey for about forty-five miles to select a more suitable route. Near Medford there are several bad cuts. To avoid these the road will be built into Medford. VILAS SUGGESTS REMEDY. Ex-Senator Thinks Court of Arbitration Should be Formed. Madison, Wis., Oct. 7.—Col. William F. Vilas, former Democratic United States senator, at the initial dinner of the Six O'Clock Club last night declared that the laws of the country are at present inadequate to deal with the situation arising from the strike of the anthracite miners. As the remedy he advocated the establishment of a tribunal in which labor and capital might enter their grievances, and according to the determination of which employers and employees must abide.

PRICE from $2,00 up. Ask your dealer for our shoes and look for the trade mark stamped on the sole of every shoe. F. MAYER BOOT & SHOE CO., MILWAUKEE, WIS. YOUR GRANDFATHER Always kept a bottle of MEXICAN MUSTANG LINIMENT In the cupboard Sixty Years Ago. There was no better remedy then for Man or Beast, and there never has been a better remedy since. Keep it in the house. THE day was when men or prominence hesitated to give their testimonials to proprietary medicines for publication. This remains true to-day of most proprietary medicines. But Peruna has become so justly famous, its merits are known to so many people of high and low stations, that no one hesitates to see his name in print recommending Peruna. The highest men in our nation have given Peruna a strong endorsement. Men representing all classes and stations are equally represented. A dignified representative of the Presbyterian Church in the person of Rev. E. G. Smith does not hesitate to state publicly that he has used Peruna in his family and found it cured when other remedies failed. In this statement the Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in his church. Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Greensboro, Ga., writes: "Having used Peruna in my family for some time, it gives me pleasure to testify to its true worth. "My little boy, seven years of age, had been suffering for some time with catarrh of the lower bowels. Other remedies had failed, but after taking two bottles of Peruna the trouble almost entirely disappeared. For this special malady I consider it well nigh a specific. RAISING THE WIND. Shah of Persia Had Great Scheme and Worked it to Perfection. When a certain late Shah of Persia became temporarily embarrassed the money he had quite a unique method of filling his purse. He would go to the market, when, after examining the shops, he would select one, and, turning to the proprietor, would say: "Will you take me in as a partner in your business for the day?" The offer was, of course, accepted. The Shah would take his seat near the shop entrance and say to his courtiers, whom he always took with him on these occasions: "Now, I'm the salesman. Who'll buy?" the latter, not daring to refuse the offers of the royal merchant, set about clearing the shop of its contents, paying sometimes $250 for goods that were not worth $50. No one was allowed to beat down the prices or to leave the premises without making purchases. When everything was sold the Shah had a list of the cost price of each article made out, and loyally shared with the shopkeeper the amount of the profit realized.—Pearson's Weekly.

"As a tonic for weak and worn-out people it has few or no equals."—Rev. E. G. Smith. Mr. M. J. Rossman, a prominent merchant of Greensboro, Ga., and an elder in the Presbyterian Church of that place, has used Peruna, and in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows: "For a long time I was troubled with catarrh of the kidneys and tried many remedies, all of which gave me no relief. Peruna was recommended to me by several friends, and after using a few bottles I am pleased to say that the long looked for relief was found and I am now enjoying better health than I have for years, and can heartily recommend Peruna to all similarly afflicted. It is certainly a great medicine."—M. J. Rossman. Catarrh is essentially the same wherever located. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. Fruit Trees in Germany. A census has recently been taken of Germany's fruit trees. There are 806 fruit trees to every square mile of territory in the German empire, in the following proportions: Plum, 332; apple, 251; pear, 119, and cherry, 104. There are about three trees to every inhabitant. A Reliable Preparation—A Responsible Firm Of the many remedies before the public there is, perhaps, none that has given such uniform satisfaction as Ely's Cream Balm, the renowned specific for Catarrh and kindred diseases. For over a quarter of a century it has stood the good test, growing in popularity as the years roll by, until the fame of the good work it has performed has made it a household word the country over. A soothing, efficacious and entirely harmless balm, it is easy to apply and brings relief and comfort to the thousands who are sufferers from catarrh in this climate during the fall, winter and spring seasons. A more reliable nor honorable firm than the proprietors, Ely Brothers, whose name the celebrated remedy bears, cannot be found in any business or profession, so that in recommending this preparation to sufferers it can truthfully be said that it is not only meritorious as to the ingredients of which it is composed, but that it is backed up by honor and integrity as well.

From a Small Beginning in 1880 it Grows to Immense Proportions. THE F. MAYER BOOT & SHOE CO. of Milwaukee, Wis., now occupies $ 3 \frac{1}{2} $ Acres of Floor Space, and has capacity for making 6000 pairs of Shoes per Day. Just 22 years ago Mr. F. Mayer established a shoe factory in Milwaukee, and began the manufacture of shoes in a modest way. The working force at that time was small and the facilities inadequate, yet it was the foundation of what was destined to be one of the largest shoe factories in this country. The underlying business principle was then, as now, to produce the best shoes possible at the lowest prices. That this policy was successful has been demonstrated by the fact that shoes bearing the Mayer trade mark are now sold in every state and territory west of the Ohio river. Over 600 people are kept busy as bees supplying a demand that has steadily increased as a result of the universal satisfaction given by Mayer's shoes. Milwaukee being the home of the biggest leather tanneries in the world, and also the market for the very best shoe leather known, gives the Milwaukee manufacturer advantages in cost as well as the choice of leather, that outside manufacturers cannot obtain, thus enabling the Mayer shoe factory to turn out better shoes at less cost than outside competitors. Something like 40 traveling salesmen are required to visit merchants in thousands of towns and villages in twenty different states. The magnitude of this business can best be appreciated when you take into consideration that, with the present capacity, 6000 complete pairs of shoes can be turned out every working day. The business is now conducted under the name of the F. Mayer Boot & Shoe Co., by the three sons of Mr. F. Mayer, who succeeded him in the business. As Mayer's shoes are being liberally advertised the further growth of the company is sure to be rapid. A Historic Hitching Post. One of the oldest signs in Washington is the cast iron figure of a Chinaman, about $3\frac{1}{2}$ feet in height, that stands in front of a livery stable on Sixth street northwest, between Pennsylvania and Louisiana avenues. It has been there since 1862 and is one of the familiar landmarks of the city. During the Civil war Gens. Grant, McClellan, Hooker and others, who patronized this stable a great deal, tied their steeds to this hitching post, and since then other distinguished personages have had occasion to use this post during every presidential inauguration that has occurred since Lincoln's second term. As a matter of fact, this much of Sixth and Louisiana avenues is a historic locality in more than one sense. It was on the corner of this street and Louisiana avenue that Gen. Robert E. Lee bade farewell to his old commander, Gen. Winfield Scott, when the former withdrew from the union army to join that of the confederates. During the first two years of the war Gen. McClellan and others came here regularly to purchase and inspect horses, it being at that time a sort of horse market.-Baltimore American. Sagacity of Hawks. A strange instance of sagacity in two peregrines has just been told. They had often been seen following trains in Croatia without any explanation suggesting itself, until one afternoon the train suddenly put up a covey of young patridges. Down swooped the hawk at the covey and carried off one of them, and this gave the answer to the riddle. The cunning bird must have noticed, while soaring for his pleasure, that the noise of the train often put up game, and this gave him the idea of making use of the train as a beater for his own benefit. —A Vienna dentist reports having made considerable success with artificial teeth made of paper treated by a process of his own invention.

A CHANGED GIRL. I sang to her with deep "blue" eyes, The editor put "brown," But left them "like to summer skies," Altho' he changed her gown. I praised her "slender as a doe," He gave her malt extract. And made her bosom "ample" grow, Quite matronly, in fact. Her "golden" hair he dyed to "black"— Thank heaven, it was not red!— I had it hanging down her back, He put it up instead. She left me "pale," he made her blush— With ample cause, I'm sure. The liberties he took would flush A mummy's cheek demure. I sent her forth on "dainty" feet, But she came back on small; The wonder is, so young and sweet, She kept her feet at all.

Plaids in all sizes and combinations are shown in shirtwaists and petticoats. Elan tartans are imitated with great fidelity, and, occasionally, a new color is added in horizontal or cross stripes. Bright green and navy blue combined with three shades of yellow is the artistic color scheme of a handsome house in "Gibson" style. It closes at the left side with the three silver filigree buttons, which match the belt buckle, and again are used as collar ornaments on the folded blue panne velvet stock. In another example of the ever popular "Gibson" the colors are red and black, in broken effects, the dividing lines being blue, green and gold. The sleeves are in leg of mutton style, with black panne velvet puffs falling from a fold about two inches below the elbow and confined in a deep-pointed cuff at the wrist. A shaped girdle of the panne and a stock collar of black, embroidered with French knots in the waist coloring, complete this beautiful shirt waist. Peacock blue, dark garnet, and apple green blended with faint stripes of golden brown is used on the bias for a blouse in the "pinch" tuck style. The tucks are in groups of five, front and back, and also for the upper part of the sleeves. Near the wrist they end, in order to give the fashionable flares. Simulated undersleeves of peacock blue Louisine, are in narrow bands, joined by very small "fagoting." About the neck is a high stock of the same material, finished with a turn-over collar of hand embroidered Persian lawn. A petticoat in Macdonald plaid is in sheath-shape to the knee, where a deep accordion plaiting on the bias is added. Narrow braid ruching is used to finish the flounce. Another in dark green and blue, plaided with red, yellow and black, is simply a seven-gored flare, made exactly like a dress skirt, except as to length. The garment itself is made with the goods on straight lines, but the shaped flouances which trim it are cut on the cross. Many of the skirts shown are made of moreen or poplin for every-day use. For dressy wear a firm rich quality of taffetta or peau de cygne is employed. In nearly every case the adjustable yoke is of satine, matching the prominent color of the plaid. The handsomest dresses for little girls and misses are made of tartan this season, with shoulder knot and crossed sash of solid-colored goods in true Highland style.—New York Mail and Express. The Telephone Surgically Used According to a London medical journal, several London hospital surgeons are now using the telephone whenever they have occasion to probe for bullets or other metallic objects imbedded in the body of a person. The receiver of the telephone is placed on the head of the operator, and the patient is placed in the usual manner, in contact with a plate, the general medium employed being a wet sponge or some paper saturated with a saline solution, which is spread over the plate. The latter is connected with a telephone by wire, and the probe, after it has been introduced into the body, vibrates as soon as the foreign metallic substance comes in contact with it. The probe is also connected with the telephone by a wire, and thus no such blunder is possible as sometimes happens when an ordinary battery is used. When a telephone is used in this way, the plate acts as one pole and the probe as the other. Needles, bullets, grains of shot and pieces of steel and copper have been easily located by use of this simple method. The only instances when the telephone does not work satisfactorily are when the objects to be located are of the same metal as the probe. French and German surgeons have been following these experiments in London with the intention of introducing the same method into the hospitals of Berlin and Paris.—Scientific American. RUNNING FAST TRAINS Engineer Who Runs a Flyer Gives His Version of How it Feels. Mr. Nagle, an engineer on one of the big roads, was asked if there was any certain trick in the running of fast trains, and replied: "There is no difference in the running of the fast train and the slow one. There is one thing that a man should remember, though, and that is not to get nervous, no matter what turns up before him. The engineers who run the flyers must also be men of quick decision, because a little wavering on their part might cause a bad wreck. If it is the engineer's opinion that the train should be stopped he should do so at once, but if he thinks he can get through, then all right—throw her open and go through, but don't hesitate. The success in running fast trains lies in the one fact of keeping your mind on what you are doing and not getting excited when something turns up unexpectedly before you. An engineer must always be on his guard, for going over the ground at 60 or 70 miles an hour he must act quickly when the time comes, as there is no chance to consider what is best to do. "The engine I run makes from ten to twelve miles faster time than is ordinarily run. To be able to do this I have got to know every foot of the road. For in knowing the track I can tell just where the long level stretches of road are before I get to them, and in this way I can calculate just where I can make up any little time that I might have lost in the beginning of the trip. In some places in making a run I will go away ahead of my schedule, but what I have gained here I will lose on some other part of the road that is not so good. "In making fast runs it is in the stops and slowdowns where an engine loses time. You take, for instance, a train that has to be brought to a dead standstill; it will require as high as ten minutes before it can be gotten well under way again, and when you are going at sixty miles an hour ten minutes counts a great deal. "It seems singular, but to a person who is associated with engines all the time they almost seem alive. This is on account of the sensitive machinery about them. You can't any more say what kind of time an engine is going to make when you start out with it than you can tell how a race horse is going to run. Some days when you take the machine out it will worry along, and you can't get it to running right during the whole trip, and then at other times it will start off perfectly smooth and you will have no trouble whatever. The weather has much to do with the way an engine works. When the atmosphere is damp and cold and the oil is thick the machinery works harder than in dry, warm weather when the oil remains thin. Then there is the difference in coal; some engines will burn one kind better than another. And the way the wind blows also has much to do with the speed that it made."-Indianapolis Journal. Forgotten Lighthouse Men. The lighthouse keepers on Percy island, off the coast of Queensland, were not long ago forgotten for months by the government authorities. The food supply of Percy island is supposed to be delivered once a quarter, but no food arrived at the island after the first week in June until a British sloop passed months later. The islanders, twenty in number, and delirious from lack of food, managed to hail the vessel, which left behind an ample supply of provisions and reminded the Queensland government of the lighthouse men whose existence it had forgotten. Norway's Fish Flour. Fisheries represent one of Norway's chief industries, and quantities of fish are sold at very low rates, particularly during summer. One way in which these are utilized is by means of an invention which quickly dries and pulverizes the flesh of fresh fish. The resulting product called fish flour, is easy to transport from one place to another and has great nutritive value. ALABASTINE THE ONLY DURABLE WALL COATING The World's Fur Centers. Nearly the whole fur trade of the world concentrates itself in the two cities of London and Leipsic; but as about two-thirds of the London furs, which are sold at auction, go to Leipsic, the result is that the fur market of Leipsic is really the greater of the two. The Leipsic warehouses receive raw and half-prepared furs from Siberia, European Russia, America, Australia and China, making the business of the fur exchange worth from $15,000,000 to $17,000,000 yearly.

The wheat stem maggot or wheat bulb worm, the Iowa Homestead says, has proved to be rather a serious pest in some localities. Its presence may be easily detected in a crop. When the maggot form of the insect enters the stalk, it cuts off the stem just above the upper joint, with the result that the head takes on a ripened appearance while the crop is yet green. It seems to be more plentiful where both winter and spring wheat are grown in the same locality. In this case the mature insects with wings deposit their eggs upon the young plants of winter wheat. When these hatch, the larvae feed upon the central part I I I of the plants on their course downward. They remain during the winter in the surface of the ground and appear in the spring in the adult form. These in turn lay their eggs upon spring wheat plants and cause the destruction of such plants as they feed upon. The accompanying illustration shows portions of two heads of wheat that have been affected by this insect as well as the pupa and larva form and mature condition of the insect. These are magnified, and conception of the real size may be obtained by the little character placed beside each figure, which indicates their exact length. The available remedies for this insect are preventive rather than curative. Wheat should not be grown continuously on the same soil, and indeed long rotation should be introduced in which there are a variety of crops. Good Turnip Varieties. The soil for turnips should be rich and mellow. For the best results sow the seeds in drills twelve to eighteen inches apart and half an inch deep. When the plants are a few inches high, thin them out so that they will stand six inches apart. The seeds should be ```markdown ``` sown at any time from the middle of July to the middle of August, using two or three pounds of seeds per acre. The varieties shown in the illustration are two of the most desirable for all sections. The one in the foreground is Purple Top White Globe, an improved variety of the old purple top flat turnip. This sort has the merit of being equally desirable for the table or for feeding stock. In quality it is good and a splendid keeper. The other variety is the Orange July, a distinct yellow in color. It is especially desirable for table use. Live Stock in Iowa. According to late census bulletins issued by the United States government, the State of Iowa leads all her sister commonwealths in the value of the live stock owned by her citizens on her farms. The total value of the stock owned in the Hawkeye State is $271,844,034. Texas is second, with $236,227,934; Illinois third, with $186,856,020; Kansas is fourth, with $186,317,248; then comes Missouri fifth, with $154,295,363; Nebraska sixth, with $142,769,629; New York seventh, with $120,673,101; Ohio eighth, with $120,466,134; Indiana ninth, with $105,508,528, and Wisconsin tenth, with $93,521,430. Build Airtight Silos. If we have silos filled with well eared, well matured corn and plenty of early cut clover hay, very little protein need be bought. Many make a great mistake in not building silos that are air tight. A few dollars extra spent in the construction of a silo may save tons of silage. I have seen silos made of only one thickness of boards, and there would be a foot of rotten silage around the walls. Can a man afford this loss? The cheap silo is expensive in the end. American Agriculturist. Early-Cut Hay. In those sections where hay is a commercial crop, mostly intended for sale, they are very sure to cut all kinds of hay early, and cure it as little as possible without danger of its heating in the bale. They cut timothy before it has blossomed, and if the red top is sown with it that must be cut at the same time. They find that they can get from $2 to $4 per ton more for early-cut hay than for that which is not cut until in bloom or later. If it is worth that much more to the city buyers who mostly want it for horses, the value of it for milch cows increases even more by early cutting, and the larger dairymen who make butter or sell their milk by the test of butter fat have nearly all learned this lesson, but we often see the grass on small farms standing about two weeks after we should have said it ought to have been cut. There is a class of farmers who will not learn by the experience of others, and will not begin to cut the grass any earlier than their grandfathers did. The old meadows, where the grass is thin and largely June grass and daisies or white weed, need to be cut about the first of any, both because they are early, and even the white weed makes pretty good hay for cows and young stock if it is cut just as it begins to blossom. When the blossoms have fallen off it makes a very poor hay. When they are cut early the land can be plowed, fertilized and some other crop put in or grass sown in August.—Exchange. For Outdoor Feeding: At a season of the year when it is desirable to feed most of the stock in the pasture a number of troughs made like that shown in the illustration will be found to save considerable labor. The trough may be made any size to accommodate the animals to be fed. For horses and cows it may be arranged on the fence as shown and for sheep and swine fastened lower down on the fence. Made a foot wide at the bottom and, say, twenty inches at the top, it will be about right. The trough should be securely spiked to the fence posts as shown, and if two animals are to be fed at a time it may be divided in the middle. If the animals are tied to the rings at the posts each will get its share. Troughs of this kind are especially desirable when corn, oats or chopped roots are to be TROUGH FOR PASTURE. fed in the field and by their use loss or waste of the food is prevented.—Indianapolis News. Deep Plowing. We used to believe in what we read when young about the value of plowing deep to bring up the fertility that had leached down through the surface soil into the subsoil. Our opinion was changed when we tested the deep plowing upon a field with a clay subsoil that we planted with corn. Later experiments have more thoroughly convinced us that deep plowing, by which we mean a depth of more than four to six inches, is seldom beneficial in this climate, whatever it may be in other sections of the country. The crops like corn, that like to spread their roots near the surface where the soil is warmed by the sun, certainly do not need to have the earth stirred very deeply for them, while those that send their roots down into the subsoil, as onions, clover beets, etc., can do so almost through the hardest subsoil or anything excepting a gravel in which there is no moisture.—Cultivator. "Blue Milk." What is known as "blue milk" may be epidemic in a herd or confined to a single cow. It is probably from some unknown source of filth and may be checked by attention to cleanliness and careful washing of the cow's teats with a little weak acetic acid solution. Such milk has been fed to animals that ate it readily and without harm. Farm Notes. Abundant foliage assists in protecting fruit on trees and vines. Fruit ripens earlier on trees where the leaves have not been killed, and, as leaves take carbonic acid from the air and give off oxygen, they serve to purify the air while deriving food therefrom. Roots are superior to ensilage as winter food for stock, but the cost of ensilage is much less than roots. A crop of carrots will be found one of the best foods that can be grown on the farm, but the work of growing the carrots is the great drawback. Ensilage, on the contrary, can be always relied upon as something sure, as the corn may be cut at any stage of growth should necessity so demand. Good silage that has been well and closely packed in the silo is estimated to weigh about twenty pounds or more per cubic foot, and forty pounds is about the ration allowed each cow for one day. A silo ten feet deep and ten feet square will consequently hold enough ensilage to supply two or more cows over four months. Such a silo is a small one, but the estimate shows what a large proportion of food can be stored away for winter in a small place by the use of ensilage. HOUSEHOLD TALKS One peck of green tomatoes, half a dozen green peppers, one solid head of cabbage; chop the tomatoes and squeeze them through a bag, chop the cabbage and mix all together, sprinkle over with half a pint of salt and let it stand all night; then drain through a colander and pack in a jar. Take two pounds of brown sugar, two table-spoonfuls of ground cinnamon, two of whole white mustard seed, half a pint of grated horseradish and add enough cider vinegar to cover the pickle, heat boiling hot and pour on the pickle. After it is cold cover with horseradish leaves, which prevents pickles from molding, and put a small plate or saucer inside the jar, upside down over the pickle to keep all under vinegar. Chicken Souffle. Two tablespoons flour, two tablespoons butter, one teaspoon salt, one-eighth teaspoon of pepper, two cups scalded milk, one-half cup stale bread crumbs, two cups cold chicken, one tablespoon chopped parsley, three eggs. Make a white sauce from the butter, flour, salt, pepper and milk. Add the crumbs and cook until quite thick. Take from the fire and beat in the chicken, parsley and the yolks of the eggs beaten till thick and lemon colored. Whip the whites until stiff and dry and fold in. Pour in a buttered dish and set in a pan of hot water and bake in a hot oven thirty-five minutes. Tomato Soup: Put a generous tablespoonful of butter in a saucepan. When it is hot add half an onion chopped fine, let it stew gently for a few minutes, then add a pint of canned tomatoes; cook half an hour. Rub a heaping tablespoonful of dour and one of butter smoothly together and stir into the tomatoes. Have ready a pint of boiling milk, pour the tomatoes into a puree sieve with the boiling milk and rub through the sieve. Season with salt and pepper and a very little sugar. Return to the fire, make it hot, but be careful not to let it boil, as it will curdle. Serve at once with croutons. Vegetable Hash: Vegetable hash, as usually made, uses the vegetables left from a boiled dinner, such as cabbage, potatoes, beets, carrots and parsnips. For one quart of the vegetables, about half a cupful of stock and one tablespoonful of butter should be used. Meat hash is sometimes varied by the addition of rice. Often, to a beef and potato hash, Spanish sweet peppers are added, together with chopped onion. A beef hash is much improved by tomato sauce. Corn Pudding. Four large ears of corn grated, or a can of corn prepared as for corn cakes, one heaping tablespoonful of butter, one teaspoonful of flour, one teaspoonful of sugar, one whole egg and one yolk. Melt the butter and stir into the corn, beat the eggs and add with one pint of milk, the sugar and flour, and salt and pepper to taste. Bake in a shallow dish in a moderate oven from twenty minutes to half an hour. If it bakes too long it becomes watery. Salt Codfish in Egg Cups. Let salt codfish picked in bits (not shredded) stand over night or some hours in cold water, then drain and wring out all the water. To each quarter of a cup of fish, add one-half a cup of cream or thin white sauce, and a beaten egg. Turn into a buttered cup, egg stirrer or poacher, and cook standing in hot water until nearly firm. The water should not boil. Serve in the cup or turn out as desired.—From the Boston Cooking School Magazine. Salmon Loaf. Two cups salmon, one cup stale bread crumbs, one teaspoonful onion pulce, salt and pepper, one teaspoonful chopped parsley, three eggs. Flake the salmon fine, mix with the bread crumbs and seasoning and molsten with the well-beaten egg. Pack into a buttered mold and steam for two hours. Serve hot. Any left-over of this dish may be broken into small pieces, and served with mayonnaise it makes a palatable salad. To Cook Prunes. Prunes are much better if, after washing them in plenty of cold water. they are put to soak in hot water. Necessarily they are afterward to be cooked in the same water in which they have soaked, for it holds much of their goodness in solution. Ice Cream Sandwiches. Ice cream sandwiches are nice to serve at luncheons. They are made of sponge cake filled with plain or fancy ice cream. Sometimes a hot chocolate or fruit sirup or whipped cream is poured over the sandwich. Oyster Plant. Scrape one oyster plant, cut into small lengths, and throw into cold water at once to keep from turning dark. Cook in boiling salted water one hour. Serve with a cream sauce. Orange Ice. Take the juice of six oranges and grated rind of three, and the juice of two lemons, with the same proportion of sugar and water. Prepare and freeze is lemon ice.
