WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE CREAM CITY NOTES. We will be glad to publish news of local and race interest if left at the office, 79 Fifth street, before 6 o'clock Wednesday evenings. We would respectfully ask our readers to bestow at least a share of their custom upon those who advertise with us. The various remedies and hair restorers advertised in this paper can be had at the advertised price at the office of this paper. Prof. Eph Williams was called suddenly to Nashville, Tenn., this week by the receipt of a telegram announcing the death of his only sister. Messrs. Palmer and Royal of the yacht club are busily engaged in closing the club house for the ensuing winter months. The yachting season has been an unprecedented success. 康 永 欢 Mrs. S. M. Minor and son, Master Julian, returned this week from Oshkosh. Mr. G. W. Perry, formerly editor of the Kalamazoo Plain Dealer of Kalamazoo, Mich., will hereafter occupy a place upon the Advocate staff and will have special charge of the advertisement department. Mr. Perry has had fourteen years' experience in the newspaper business and comes to us highly recommended. G. D. Puffin, manager of the Wisconsin Butter and Cheese Company of Waukesha, Wis., is one of our subscribers. Mr. Puffin is a Republican, but is not one of the "Long" Jones type and took occasion to compliment the editor on the stand taken by him in the fight against him. Mrs. Mamie Jackson Carter and little daughter, Marguerite, will leave for Chicago within a few days to visit friends. They will not return for some time. MARIA MAYER Miss Delia Browne. The above cut is of Miss Delia Browne, a beautiful, talented Milwaukee girl, who has been in Denver the past three years for her health. She is a cousin to Mrs. J. L. Slaughter. Miss Brown was born in Columbus, O., and came to Milwaukee when four years old. She is a graduate of the Milwaukee schools, having a thorough business education in book-keeping and stenography. She is accomplished in music, can speak and write the German language fluently and is a very artistic modiste. At present she is employed as book- keeper and cashier at the Turf cafe. A beautiful bouquet of flowers is always upon her desk, showing she has hosts of admirers, near and far, and is considered without a doubt the belle of Milwaukee. Detroit Democracy Elect Colored Attorney Circuit Court Commissioner. The colored voters of Detroit are rejoicing over the election of W. C. Swan, a prominent colored attorney of that city, who was nominated by the Democrats and elected on the Democratic ticket to the office of circuit court commissioner. We wonder what some of our good Republicans in Milwaukee who are continually flouting in our faces about what their grandfathers did for us forty years ago will say to this. When Mayor Rose promoted a colored man to run an elevator at the city hall the Milwaukee Sentinel almost had a fit and denounced the appointment in strong terms. Should a colored man be given such a high place in Milwaukee some of our good Republican brothers would turn in their graves. Hon,Ernst Merton Defeats "Long" Jones The foxy politician, "Long" Jones, was snowed under Tuesday by a good majority, and Waukesha county will be represented by one of the brightest men in the state. The Negroes of this country will have a friend to represent them. "Long" Jones never did like a black man. He proved that when he lived in Illinois. The Advocate fought him because he despises the Negro and is a traitor in politics. M. Mrs. J. L. Slaughter. The cut above is of Mrs. Lucy Slaughter, a leader of Milwaukee society. Mrs. Slaughter is a very handsome woman, her fascinating and graceful ways making her a favorite with the select set in which she moves. She has recently returned from an extended trip throughout the East, where society welcomed her with receptions and many other social functions, she being the guest of honor by reason of her high social standing and by her winning ways, left in her train many warm friends and hosts of pleasant memories. She was married on November 4, 1892, to John L. Slaughter, owner of the Turf hotel and cafe, who is one of the wealthiest business men of Milwaukee. Mr. Slaughter owes his grand success in life to his wife's undivided attention to his interests. She is ever by his side with her sweet, womanly advice, always caring for his comfort and happiness. We welcome her home, knowing that our winter months will be cheered by her presence. Grand Reception. The swell affair of the season was a reception given by Mrs. J. L. Slaughter in honor of Mr. William L. Hawkins. There are few homes of Negroes in the United States more beautiful and modern than that of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Slaughter. The decorations of beautiful natural flowers made one think that he had stepped into fairyland. In the three spacious parlors were banks of pink and yellow tea roses, with natural palms. The library was a bower of palms and chrysanthemums, while the dining room was beautiful with cut glass and American Beauty roses. The evening was delightfully passed with music and cards. At 11 p. m. an elaborate champagne supper was served to thirty guests. Mr. Slaughter had a private wire over which the election returns were received by the guests while being entertained by their fair hostess. All expressed their keen enjoyment of the evening as they bade goodnight to the host and hostess. Those present were; Mesdames Hawkins, Rainey, C. Coleman, Whitman, W. Coleman, Bailor, Thirrl, Darrow, Herron; the Misses Dr. Brown, E. Anderson, May Coleman, McNamee, Delia Brown; Messrs. W. L. Hawkins, Dr. Herron, W. T. Green, Dr. C. A. Johnson, W. H. Hawkins, Raimey, Bailor, Whitman, Fletcher, W. Coleman, C. Coleman, A. Thirrl. Mr. William L. Hawkins left Wednes day morning for Washington, D. C. Women Letter Carriers. Miss Etta H. Bolton of Mobile, Ala., is one of the six women letter carriers in the United States. She is the 19-year-old daughter of the former carrier on the same route, and covers a distance of 23 miles daily, Sunday excepted. She was appointed by her father as his substitute, and now performs the duties regularly. She travels in a specially constructed wagon, carrying stamps and blanks, and can perform any duty of a rural postmaster, including the issuing of money orders and registering of letters. Chicago News. Mr. Benjamin Mason, 2817 Dearborn street, and old and highly respected citizen of Chicago, Ill., and prominent class leader of Bethel A. M. E. Church, fell from a scaffold and broke his neck on Dearborn street near Twenty-fifth street last Monday morning, and died instantly. Mr. Mason's funeral was attended at Bethel Church by Rev. Murray, assisted by Revs. Ramon and Bureby. Mr. Mason was a member of the True Reformers and Knights of Labor, leaving a wife and daughter to mourn his loss. Hon. Charles S. Weisse, the popular tanner of Sheboygan, who was elected to Congress Tuesday, is destined to become the leader of Democracy of this state. He is popular, big-hearted, and will represent the district in the next Congress so that there will be no doubt about his re-election. The Advocate sent a great deal of campaign literature in his district. Because he believes in the rights of the Negro we are for him for anything he wants. CATCHES LIGHT-WAVES. CATCHES LIGHT-WAVES. Instrument Aids in the Study of Physics. Known as Quadruple Harmonic-Motion Pendulum-Devised by a Milwaukee Professor. Father M. J. Hoferer, S. J., professor of physics and higher mathematics at Marquette College in Milwaukee has constructed what is described as a quadruple harmonic-motion pendulum for the scientific department of that institution. Thirty-six students are now taking the scientific course at Marquette, and this new machine devised by Father Hoferer will be an excellent and interesting instrument for winding up the subject of mechanics in his classes, besides being a novel and highly scientific addition to Marquette College's well-equipped physics department cabinet. The students of Prof. Hoferer's department are to give a scientific exhibition and lecture in which this machine and its wonderful work will be seen for the first time. Students in these branches are manifesting great interest in the coming public exhibition. Some will manipulate the machine, while others will lecture. The object of the machine is to explain the wave theory of light, and though this would seem to be rather dry, Prof. 1930 NEW SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENT. (Devised and Built by Prof. Hoferer, S. J. of Marquette College.) NEW SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENT. (Devised and Built by Prof. Hoferer, S. J., of Marquette College.) Hoferer, S. J., and Vice President H. S. Spalding, S. J., aver that the evening will be instructive and entertaining even to persons who have made no special study of mathematics. The instrument consists of a solid table 40 inches in height; four leaden pendulum weights; four 1/2-inch brass tubes resting upon knife edges; the needle, plateholder and a metallic enclosure for the lamp; a key, mirror, prism and a contrivance for determining the phase and amplitude of vibration. Reproduced Upon a Screen. A calcium or electric light is placed under the plate and the figures thrown upon a screen while in course of formation. The effect will be a perfectly dark field, receiving gradually bright, white light in the form of marvelous curves, intricate circles, curious stars and an unlimited number of indescribable figures which would shame the deftest penman's art. One of the features of this machine which long baffled the scientific world is the lantern slide on which the pendulum could draw the various figures with the delicate lines required to bring out the complexity of the figures. After months of experiments Prof. Hoferer covered the glass with vaseline and darkened it with lamp black. His experiment proved successful. The star-shaped figures drawn by the machine beautifully exemplify the action of plain polarized light passing through quartz crystal, where, according to the theory, the beam is broken up into circularly polarized beams.—Evening Wisconsin.

Death Reveals Strange Career of an Englishman for Nineteen Years. From the west of England there comes a strange story of the double life lived by a man without suspicion for more than nineteen years, his neighbors, even his own son, being ignorant of it till his sudden death revealed the truth. Nineteen years ago there came to live in a house called the Old Grange, in the small Dorsetshire village of Oborne. Edmund Hall, an accountant by profession. He lived at Oborne with his wife and family for nineteen years, during which period he and his family gained the respect and popularity of the whole neighborhood. Mr. Hall was a great bee fancier. On Monday, September 1, he drove with his little son to a neighboring farm in the village of Templecombe, where he took some hives of bees. Aftedward he went to a farm house, and while taking tea with the wife of the farmer he suddenly fell dead of heart disease. An inquest was held on the following day. It was attended by his eldest son, who testified that he had knowledge that his father was suffering from that ailment. The sympathy of the neighbors about the country was widely expressed for the dead man's wife and family. No suspicions were aroused, although some surprise was expressed, at the news that Mr. Hall would be buried on the following Saturday at Bristol instead of in Oborne churchyard, where a son 17½ years of age, who died in 1901, and a son 16 days old, who died in 1902, lie buried. On Wednesday the Bristol newspapers announced the sudden death from heart disease on the previous Monday at a small village near Templecombe, while on a holiday, of one of the most distinguished, best known and respected inhabitants of Bristol, Col. Edmund Carter Plant, C. B., who would be buried on Saturday in Bristol with full military honors. Some residents of Sherbourne, where Hall was well known, on seeing this noticed the strange coincidence of the date and the manner and cause of the two men's deaths. But the editor of the Sherbourne paper suspected something more. He made inquiries which convinced him as to the identity of Hall and Plant, but he was unable to prove his case. However, he did not lose sight of the body, which on Friday evening was taken to the station, attended by a large number of sorrowing villagers, and was placed in the guards' van. The coffin plate was seen to be inscribed: "Edmund Hall, died September 9, 1902, aged 60." The Bristol undertaker entered the van with the coffin, but at the junction where the van was detached and coupled to another train this man changed to an ordinary carriage, and when the train had arrived at Bristol the coffin plate was seen to be inscribed: "Edmund Carter Plant, C. B., Colonel Bristol Engineers, Died September 1, 1902, aged 60." On Saturday the streets of Bristol were thronged with thousands of people, anxious to see the funeral, which was the finest military spectacle the populace had seen since the late Queen Victoria visited the place in 1897. Eight military colonels acted as pallbearers. They were followed by a brilliant cortege of officers and troops half a mile long, and also by the lord mayor's state coach, high sheriffs in carriages, etc. Thus this distinguished resident of Bristol was laid in the cemetery of the town beside his wife, who died in 1900, and to whom he was married in 1865.

George Ade's merry satire, "The Roger Brothers in Harvard" is now of Plymouthtown," will be seen in many impany, is the life and spirit of "The Plant's career, from his boyhood, with the exception of the nineteen years he lived at Osborne as Hall, is well known. He had lived at Bristol since 1861. According to "Who's Who," he was lieutenant colonel and colonel commanding of the Second Gloster volunteers, R. E. (the Bristol engineers.) He passed through all the grades from sapper to colonel commanding. He was decorated for services in connection with the battalion, and raised the Clifton College cadet corps, which won the Ashburton shield on three occasions and the cadet trophy twice. Not until his death was the identity of their father revealed to the children at Oborne. "Mrs. Hall" knew, but for the clumsy work of his legal advisers when they notified the Bristol newspapers of the colonel's death the secret would never have been revealed. The mention of Templecombe gave the clue, however, and resulted in the exposure. The colonel's absences at Bristol or Oborne "on business" never aroused the slightest suspicion.—London Dispatch to St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Largest and Smallest Book. The British museum owns the largest book in the world and the smallest. The largest is an atlas of the Fifteenth century. It is 7 feet high. Between its generous leaves a tall man's head is hidden. Its stout binding and ponderous clasps make it seem as substantial as the walls of a room. The smallest is a tiny "Bijou Almanac"—less than an inch square, bound in dainty red morocco, and easily to be concealed in the finger of a lady's glove. These two extremes of the printer's art might well stand at the beginning and the end of the amazing thirty-seven miles of shelves filled with books, which make up a part of the printed treasures of the great English library. --- Re-elected Governor of Wisconsin by Plurality of About 40,000. SPOONER IS ENDORSED. Enough Legislators Pledged to Him to Insure His Return to the STATE TICKET. Governor—Robert M. La Follette. Lieutenant Governor—James O. Davidson. Secretary of State—Walter L. Houser. State Treasurer—John J. Kempf. Attorney General—L. M. Sturdevant. State Superintendent—Charles P. Cary. Railroad Commissioner—John W. Thomas. Commissioner of Insurance—Zeno M. Host. Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 5.—[Special.] From returns received up to 4 o'clock this afternoon the plurality of Gov. La Follette is estimated at over 49,000 and it is thought that it will pass 50,000 when all of the returns are in. The returns have come in very slowly on account of the great number of split tickets. In many parts of the state the election inspectors have not sent in their reports, as they have not finished counting the ballots. La Follette's Plurality. ties follows: Countles. La Follette's Plurality. Rose's Plurality. Adams 1,030 Ashland 527 Baron 1,600 Bayfield 400 Brown 455 Buffalo 600 Burnette 900 Calumet 200 Chippewa 1,200 Clark 1,200 Columbia 1,100 Crawford 400 Dane 1,200 Dodge 200 Door 1,167 Douglas 1,300 Dunn 1,100 Eau Claire 1,100 Florence 100 Fond du Lac 400 Forest 66 Gates 468 Grant 1,800 Green 633 Green Lake 35 Iowa 800 Iron 800 Jackson 1,100 Jefferson 400 Juneau 700 Kenosha 65 Kewaunee 200 La Crosse 500 Lafayette 275 Langlade 175 Lincoln 700 Manitowoc 100 Marathon 500 Marinette 1,000 Marquette 300 Milwaukee 4,507 Monroe 600 Oconto 1,000 Onelda 500 Outagamie 650 Ozaukee 600 Pepin 270 Plerce 600 Polk 1,800 Portage 100 Price 500 Racine 1,500 Richland 600 Rock 1,500 St. Croix 400 Sauk 475 Sawyer 300 Shawano 800 Sheboygan 735 Taylor 100 Trempealeau 1,400 Vernon 2,650 Villas 100 Walworth 1,350 Washburn 400 Washington 450 Waukesha 700 Waupaca 2,500 Waushara 2,000 Winnebago 1,301 Wood 1,000 The governor carried Dane, his home county, in which there was so much active opposition to him. Fifty-one out of fifty-five precincts give the governor a plurality of about 500. This will be increased, as the other four precincts are strongly Republican. Constitutional Amendments Carly. It was stated by the Republican state central committee at noon today that from returns thus far received it would seem that all of the amendments to the constitution had carried by a slight majority. Definite reports have not been received. Reports received from county seats throughout the state say that the returns, while not complete, show that the governor carried the state by about 45,000 Milwaukee County The entire Republican county ticket in Milwaukee was elected yesterday. Mayor Rose lost heavily in his own stronghold. Although it was believed by many unprejudiced men before the election that Rose would carry the city by 4000 and the county by 2500, the result showed that La Follette carried the county by 4507. Ald. George Thuering, candidate for county treasurer, led the ticket by a plurality of 7205. Tegtmeyer had the lowest plurality, 3539. Theobald Otjen and W. H. Stafford were elected, Mr. Otjen being given another term and Mr. Stafford securing the office for the first time after years of effort. Rose's particular friend Donovan was defeated and Henry Smith may remain in the common council to serve out his term as alderman of the Sixth ward. A careful canvass of the returns in respect to the vote for congressman in the Fourth district shows that Theobald Otjen's plurality will be from 1750 to 2000. Mr. Stafford ran ahead of his ticket in many places. His plurality in Waukesha county is 938. The Social Democratic vote showed an increase of 2362 over that cast by that party last spring, the total vote being 10,815. The party leaders expected to poll 12,000 or 14,000 at least in this county. Besides giving the state ticket a good majority and electing the entire Republican county ticket, Milwaukee county returned three Republican state senators and nine out of sixteen assemblymen. C. C. Rogers in the Fifth district won out by 323 plurality; Rip Reukema in the Sixth by 1441, and Barney A. Eaton of the Seventh was re-elected with but 297 to spare. Chairman Bruce of the Democratic county committee gave up the fight early in the evening. At 9 o'clock he practically conceded the county, although in guarded terms. Max Hottelet, candidate for county treasurer, conceded a Republican victory at that hour and went home. At 10:30 Chairman Bruce still claimed the city, but said: "I throw up my hands as to the county." Sheriff Theodore Zillmer is very well satisfied with his first experience as chairman of the Republican county committee, a splendid success having crowned his efforts. ONLY ONE BEATEN. Chas. Weisse is Only Democrat to be Named for Congress in Wisconsin. WISCONSIN CONGRESSMEN. First District—H. A. Cooper. Second District—H. C. Adams. Fourth District—Theobald Otjen. Fifth District—W. H.

Senator A. M. Jones of Waukesha was defeated for the state Senate by Ernst Merton (Dem.) by 250. Jones lost Waukesha and Washington counties. Waukesha gave Merton 50 majority. The returns from the various senatorial and Assembly districts were more difficult to secure, except in a general way, than ever before in the history of the state, inasmuch as the general scratching of the ticket delayed the count in every precinct, practically, in the state.

New York, Nov. 5.—At 12 o'clock today, revised returns from the state indicated that Odell's plurality would be about 10,000. These figures were based on complete returns from a number of counties with partial reports from others, missing districts being estimated. The Republican plurality above the Bronx as indicated by the returns received was 132,000 against 122,000 in Greater New York for Coler. Figures from Greater New York with two election districts missing gave Coler 122,014 plurality. The vote was as follows: Manhattan and the Bronx, Coler, 190,350; Odell, 104,026; Brooklyn, Coler, 110,454; Odell, 84,228; Queens, Coler, 16,554; Odell, 9,385; Richmond, Coler, 7206; Odell,4920. For Congress nineteen Republicans and seventeen Democrats were elected,with one district in doubt. In the present Congress are twenty-two Republicans and twelve Democrats. Today's estimates are that the new state Senate would stand thirty Republicans and twenty Democrats and the Assembly eighty-nine Republicans and sixty-one Democrats. In spite of a phenominally large vote in New York and Kings county for Bird S. Coler, Democrat, the returns indicate the re-election of Benjamin B. Odell (Rep.) to the governorship of New York upwards of 10,000 plurality. Coler's plurality in Greater New York exceeded 115,000, a surplus of 3000 above the claim of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, but even that large vote was not sufficient to overcome the Republican majorities from up the state. Odell's vote in the country district was lighter than two years ago, but Coler's was also lower than Stanchfield's in the same year. In New York city Coler's plurality was approximately 117,500, made up as follows: New York county. 83,000; Kings county, 26,500; Queens, 5500; Richmond, 2800. Oyster Bay, where President Roosevelt's country home is situated and where he voted today, was carried by Coler, his plurality being 131. Two years ago Odell's plurality was 512. Republicans Lose Four Congressmen. Figures from the congressional district in New York city and the Long Island counties apparently show a loss of four members of the national House for the Republicans, the heavy Coler vote having carried, according to the first returns, the first nineteen districts in the state for the Democratic candidates. All returns indicated that John Gray, Democratic candidate for judge of the court of appeals, ran somewhat ahead of his ticket. The Democrats made gains in the state Legislature, but they were not sufficient to endanger the Republican hold on the seat in the United States Senate, now held by Thomas C. Platt. Yellow Journalist in Congress. Unofficial figures on the vote for congressmen in New York county made it appear that the Democrats had elected all of their candidates in the county. Perhaps the most notable change was in the newly formed Thirteenth district, which was supposed to be Republican by from 5000 to 7000, but which gave a plurality for Francis Burton Harrison (Dem.). Mr. Harrison made an active canvass. He was supported by both Tammany Hall and the Greater New York Democracy. William R. Hurst, proprietor of the New York American, was elected from the Eleventh district. Others elected to the national House from New York county are Timothy D. Sullivan, formerly a state senator and one of the best known of Tammany leaders, and Henry M. Goldfogle, who beat Charles Adler. All told the Democrats won two Senate districts and four Assembly districts in New York county, among them the Ninth, where William S. Devery's candidate, Richard J. Butler, was elected. The Republicans lost nine assemblymen in Kings county. Landslide in Favor of Democrats. Albany, N. Y., Nov. 5.—Since Roswell P. Flower in a Democratic landslide defeated J. Sloat Fassett for governor in the face of Republican claims for an easy victory, there has not been such an overturning of votes from the Republican to the Democratic party in this state as that which occurred yesterday. With the exception of Erie, Albany and Rennsselaer counties every Democratic prediction of sweeping majorities was carried out and amplified. ILLINOIS Republicans Gain Seven Congressmen and Control Legislature Chicago, Ill., Nov. 5.—The Republicans carried Illinois by about 40,000 plurality. Busse, for state treasurer, secured plurality of about 15,000 votes in Co. and the balance in the state at large. With Madden defeated the Republicans have eighteen congressmen in the state. This is under the new census apportionment, by which Illinois gets twenty-five congressmen. The delegation was evenly divided when Illinois had twenty-two districts, so it will be seen the Republicans have made a gain of seven congressmen The Republicans have a good working majority in both branches of the general Assembly and on joint ballot. MASSACHUSETTS Republicans Carry the State, but are Defeated in Boston. Boston, Mass., Nov. 5.—Lieut.-Gov. John L. Bates of Boston was elected governor by the Republicans, defeating William A. Gaston, the Democratic candidate, by 37,479 plurality, the vote being: Bates (Rep.), 195,961; Gaston (Dem.), 158,482. The Republicans also elected ten out of fourteen congressmen. The Legislature remains unchanged, the Senate standing, according to the late returns, 33 Republicans and 7 Democrats, and the House 162 Republicans, 75 Democrats and 3 Socialists. Bates ran a rifle ahead of Gov. Crane's vote of last year, but Gaston, who headed the Democratic ticket, polled over 25,000 more votes than did Quincy in 1901. The Republican plurality is the smallest since 1893. The Democratic gains were mostly in the country towns, although Mr. Gaston ran well in most of the cities. His plurality in Boston, however, was somewhat lower than the estimates of the party managers before the election. DELAWARE Result on Legislature Indicates that There will Be Another Deadlock Wilmington, Del., Nov. 5.—Later advices from throughout the state demonstrate that a deadlock will occur in the Legislature on the double senatorial vacancy. The membership of the General Assembly will be: Newcastle county—Senate, four Republicans, three Democrats; House, seven Republicans, eight Democrats. Kent county—Senate, three Union Republicans, two Democrats; House, five Democrats, four Union Republicans, one tie. Sussex county—Senate, three Union Republicans, two Democrats; House, seven Union Republicans, three Democrats. Total, Senate, ten Republicans, seven Democrats; House, eighteen Republicans, sixteen Democrats, one tie. The regular Republicans claim eight of this number who will vote against Addicks. The perceptible gains of the Democrats in Newcastle county were offset by Union Republican gains in Kent and Sussex counties. Unless the Democrats and regular Republicans coalesce and elect one from each side to the United States Senate it is clearly apparent that the deadlock will remain unbroken. It is stated that the election of James T. Shallcross (Dem.), in the Thirteenth representative district of Newcastle county, will be contested by O. V. Aspro, his Republican opponent. Shallcross had but 4 majority. WASHINGTON Republicans Carry the State and will Control the Legislature. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 5.—The Republicans have carried the state of Washington by a majority that may run as high as 12,000, though the indications are that it will be nearer 10,000. The Democratic state committee does not claim the election of any of its state ticket, though insisting that the meager returns received justify the belief that there is a chance for Democratic control of the state Legislature. Chairman Morris of the Republican committee holds that the Republicans will have a majority on joint ballot of 40. The returns so far received seem to justify the claim of a large Republican majority in both branches of the Legislature. Owing to the fact that there is an overwhelming majority of Republicans in the list of hold-over senators this branch has not been in doubt. The House will probably be controlled by a proportionate majority. It is likely that Judge Hiram E. Hadley, nominee for justice of the supreme court, will lead the Republican state ticket. The three congressional nominees will run very close. OHIO. Chairman Dick Places the Republican Plurality at 100,000. Columbus, O., Nov. 5.—The Republicans carried Ohio by next to their highest plurality on record. Nothing above 70,000 had been predicted, but partial returns indicate that it will greatly exceed those figures. At the same time the Republicans on returns up to midnight made no gain in Ohio congressmen and are likely to lose one. The present Ohio delegation in Congress consists of seventeen Republicans and four Democrats and the returns show sixteen Republicans and four Democrats elected with the Twelfth district in doubt. At midnight Chairman Dick said: "Returns to this hour do not change our estimate of 100,000 Republican plurality. We have carried all districts now represented in Congress by Republicans, with the possible exception of the Twelfth, and in its place we have another." With more complete returns the Republicans today say their plurality on the state ticket will approximate 100,000 and that the Ohio congressmen stand 17 Republicans to 4 Democrats, as in the last Congress. The pluralities in all of the four Democratic districts were greatly reduced and in the Republican districts increased. The only changes were in the Twelfth and Thirteenth districts and they offset each other. The Democrats gained the former by electing Judge Dewitt C. Badger over Cyrus Huling and lost the latter by the defeat of Dr. James A. Norton, who has been in Congress many years. PENNSYLVANIA. Republican Candidate for Governor Has Estimated Plurality of 175,000. Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 5.—Today for the first time in the history of the state more than 1,000,000 votes were cast in an election. Samuel W. Pennypacker (Rep.) was elected governor by an estimated plurality of 175,000 and the Republican ticket was generally successful in the various counties. The Democrats elected two and possibly three of the thirty-two congressmen. The Legislature will be more strongly Republican than ever before, with the exception of the 1897 session, and it is certain that 8. Boies Penrose will succeed himself in the United States Senate. NEW JERSEY. Democrats Make Gains, but Fail to Secure Control of the State. Trenton, N. J., Nov. 5.—The Democrats made gains but failed to get control of the state. In the congressional contests the Republicans elected seven of their candidates as against six which they had under the old apportionments. The Democrats elected three as against two under the old allotment... The Republicans again control the Senate, but by a reduced majority. They also control the Assembly, but by a reduced majority. CALIFORNIA. Republican State Ticket Elected with Some Doubt About Governor. San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 5.—The latest returns from the interior of California and this city, where the count is progressing very slowly, indicate the election of the entire Republican state ticket. The plurality of Dr. Pardee for governor is not estimated at over 500 and the Democratic managers do not concede his election. There seems to be no doubt of the success of the other Republican nominees for state offices. The contests in the First and Second Congressional districts are close and it may require the complete returns to determine the results. The successful Republican candidates are Metcalfe in the Third, Kahn in the Fourth, Needham in the Sixth, McLachlan in the Seventh and Daniels in the Eighth. Loud (Rep.) has been beaten by William Winn (Union Labor), in the Fifth. The Legis- lature will be Republican by a good working majority. San Francisco gives Lane, the Democratic candidate for governor, about 10,000 plurality, there being a Socialist candidate in the field, but this will probably be more than offset by the pluralities for Pardee in other parts of the state. INDIANA. Harry New Claims Election of Nine Members of Congress. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 5.—Returns indicate that the Republicans have elected their entire state ticket by an estimated plurality of 30,000. Republicans have elected six congressmen—those in the Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh. The Seventh district is believed to have re-elected Mr. Overstreet, the Republican nominee. Both state chairmen are still claiming the victory in the First district. Harry New says: "We have carried Indiana by 40,000 majority, elected a Legislature Republican in both branches, insuring the election of a United States senator. The Republicans have elected nine and probably teu members of Congress. They have carried the First (Hemenway's) district and the Sixth, but probably a Democrat is elected in the Fourth district." KANSAS. Entire State Ticket and Eight Congressmen Elected by Republicans. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 5.—Kansas has gone Republican by at least 40,000 majority, the entire state ticket and all the eight congressmen are elected by the Republicans. The Republicans will have 100 members in the Legislature. W. J. Bailey, the Republican candidate for governor, ran ahead of his ticket. Returns from over the state late last night show that the Republican county officers were generally elected. It was the most complete victory since the days before Populism. Morton Albaugh. Republican state chairman, said last night that practically every member of the Legislature would be Republican. The Democratic state committee concedes the Republican claims in everything except the Legislature. NEW HAMPSHIRE. Republicans will Have 160 Majority in Legislature—To Return Gallinger. Concord, N. H., Nov. 5.—Late returns show that Bachelder (Rep.) will be elected governor by at least 8000 plurality. Nineteen Republicans are elected to the Senate by popular vote, with probably two or three elections thrown into the Legislature. This body will be Republican on joint ballot by nearly 160 majority, thus assuring the re-election of United States Senator Gallinger, who has no competitor. NEBRASKA. Bryan's State Goes Republican, but by a Narrow Margin. Lilcoln, Neb., Nov. 5.—Nebraska has probably gone Republican, but by a narrow margin. Mickey (Rep.) has run slightly behind his ticket, and Thompson (Fusionist) has run ahead, indicating the success of the rest of the Republican state ticket by probably 10,000. Mickey's plurally can hardly exceed 4000. The Republicans elected Burkett to Congress in the First district, Hinshaw in the Fourth and probably Kinkaid in the Sixth; the Fusionists elect Hitchcock in the Second, Robinson in the Third and probably Shallenberger in the Fifth, a Republican gain of one for the state. WYOMING Legislature is Overwhelmingly Republican—State Ticket Likewise Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 5.—The Republicans claim that Congressman F. W. Mondell has been re-elected by a plurality of about 3500 and the entire Republican state ticket by pluralities of 4000. They assert that the Legislature is overwhelmingly Republican and credit the Democrats with three members at the most. The Democratic chairman, Hammond, had no statement to make. MICHIGAN Republicans Elect Eleven Out of Twelve Candidates for Congress. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 5.—The revised returns that are being received today show at noon a total vote for Bliss of 47,414 and for Durand (Dem.), 14,650, giving Gov. Bliss a plurality of 32,764. Gov. Bliss ran 11,870 behind Fred M. Warner. Republican candidate for secretary of state, according to the returns, which when completed, will lower Gov. Bliss' plurality a trifle more. it is expected. Durand made a particularly strong run in Wayne county, which he carried by nearly 10,000. The Legislature will be made up as follows: House—Republicans, 80; Democrats, 9; one district still in doubt. Senate—Republicans 29; Democrats, 2; one district still in doubt. In Detroit Mayor William C. Maybury (Dem.), polled a total vote of 24,507, Dr. J. H. Carstens, his Republican opponent, getting 21,812, a plurality for Maybury of 2695. In the First Congressional district Alfred Lucking, the only Democratic congressman elected from Michigan, has a plurality of 3523 with eleven precincts still to be heard from at noon. MISSOURI. Democratic Plurality will be 20,000 and May be Greater. St. Louis, Nov. 5.—It is generally conceded from returns up to this morning that Missouri is Democratic by a safe plurality. Indication are that the Democratic plurality in the state ticket will hardly fall below 20,000 and may be much greater. Both branches of the Legislature are Democratic. The House has a sufficient majority to ensure the election of a Democrat to succeed United States Senator Vest. In St. Louis the entire Democratic city ticket is believed to have been elected. WEST VIRGINIA. Returns Indicate Republican Losses— Vote on Congressmen. Wheeling, W. Va., Nov. 5.—Returns, which are coming in slowly, indicate the certain election of B. B. Dovener (Rep.) for Congress in the First district, by slightly reduced majority compared with 1900. In the Second district John T. McGraw claims his election over A. G. Dayton (Rep.), but the Republicans do not concede it. IOWA. Ex-Gov. Boies Defeated by Judge Birdsall—State Goes Republican. Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 5.—The experts at Republicans headquarters, from the returns at hand, place the Republican vote around 205,000 and the Democratic at about 130,000. One hundred precincts heard from show a Republican loss from the vote of 1900 of 15 to the precinct, indicating a Republican plurality of 65,000. In the Third district, where ex-Gov. Boise ran against Judge Birdsall, who took the place of Speaker Henderson, Birdsall was elected. MEANT CONFISCATION Great Northern Railroad Defeated in Suit to Oust the Western St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 4.—In a decision handed down late yesterday by Judge Thayer of the United States circuit court of appeals, the Great Northern Railroad Company is worsted in its suit to oust the Western Union from the railroad's right of way. The decision is the culmination of ten years of litigation. The decision holds that the contention of the Great Northern Railway Company in this instance meant little less than confiscation. The circuit court of appeals holds that the contract which the telegraph company has with the Great Northern was and is for perpetual right of way and not to be disrupted, but it is allowed that the railway company is entitled to the cost of transporting any and all material which the telegraph company uses in the construction of its lines. The litigation involves 825 miles of lines built prior to 1892 and now valued at $2,500,000.. The lines are on the old St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba road, built prior to 1892, and decided by the court to be held jointly by the telegraph and railway companies. The court adds that should the two companies in dispute fail to agree as to the amount of compensation for transporting construction materials, the court will appoint a master in chancery and two commissioners to take testimony and report and the court will then pass on the matter. Judge Thayer wrote the decision and Judge Caldwell concurred. Judge Sanborn dissented. The decision is regarded as very important in view of litigation of a somewhat similar character now pending in the East. INSANE MAN HELD. Wealthy Business Man of Unsound Mind Suspected of Numerous Boston, Mass., Nov. 4.—In connection with the fifteen murderous assault cases which have occurred in Cambridge, Brookline and Somerville in the last few months, two of which resulted fatally, the state police today arrested Alan G. Mason of Boston, a well-known and wealthy business man, a member of the piano manufacturing firm of Mason & Hamlin, a prominent club member and a Harvard graduate. The police suspect, from evidence in their hands, that Mr. Mason has been involved in nearly all the cases referred to as the circumstances have been very similar. Mr. Mason is a middle-aged man, but he has been a victim of mental trouble for which he was treated at the McLean Asylum at Waverly. About a year ago he was permitted to leave the institution. Since that time, it is said, he has been permitted to go and come at will, and the fact that he had been frequently seen about the localities in which the assaults occurred, led to suspicion against him. The peculiar assault cases which have terrorized Cambridge and vicinity as well as other suburban sections began last June. During the summer there were half a dozen victims of an unknown assailant, each of which was struck down and beaten with a blunt instrument. Early in October Miss Agnes McPhee was assaulted in Somerville and died from her injuries. An iron wrench was found and fixed upon as the weapon used. During the same month eight other cases followed, the last of which occurred last Saturday night when Clara A. Morton, a laundress at the McLean Asylum, was accosted on the grounds of that institution and beaten with a blunt instrument. Miss Morton died Sunday. Mr. Mason was taken into custody at his mothe's home. He made no objection and on the way to police headquarters, it is said, Mr. Mason admitted to the officers that he was in Somerville on the night on which Miss McPhee was fatally injured. SHOT BY ROBBERS. Man Tries to Save a Saloonkeeper's Cash and Loses His Life in Consequence. Chicago, Ill., Nov. 4.—Because he resisted the efforts of thugs who attempted to rob the cash drawer of a saloon, Charles E. Bohlens, a real estate dealer, was shot early this morning and died shortly after being taken to the county hospital. Bohlens with several other persons were in a saloon at 724 West Harrison street discussing politics and at 1:30 a.m. m. the meeting broke up and only Bohlens and the saloonkeeper remained. The proprietor turned out the lights and was engaged in locking up at the back part of the store when Bohlens heard a noise at the front door. He opened it and attempted to walk out when he was confronted by four masked men with drawn revolvers. Two of the robbers went past Bohlens into the saloon and began to rifle the cash register. Bohlens was a powerfully built man and comprehending the situation at once started for one of the burglaries who had remained on the outside and knocked him down. The other robber fired at Bohlens, who fell mortally wounded. The police have good descriptions of the men, but no trace of them has yet been found. SIX MONTHS IN JAIL FOR IRISH AGITATOR. William Redmond Refused to Give Security for Future Good Behavior. Dublin, Nov. 4.—William Redmond was arrested on his arrival at Kingstown today and was taken to Kilmainham jail. Mr. Redmond several months ago made a speech at Wexford which was said to be incendiary. He was ordered by the court of the King's bench to give bail for $1000 for his future good behavior. This he refused to do and the court sentenced him to six months' imprisonment. A Great Divide. The boundary line between Canada and the United States is marked with posts at mile intervals for a great part of its length. Cairns, earth mounds and timber posts are also used, and through the forests and swamps a line a rod wide, clear of trees and underwood, has been cut. Across the lake artificial islands support the cairns, which rise about eight feet above the high-water mark. Statue of Shakespeare. A statue of Shakespeare is to be erected at Elsinore, Denmark, facing the "Hamlet Terrace" at Kronberg Castle, on which the poet laid the scene between Hamlet and his father's ghost. Cause of Many Ailments. A prominent physician says that half the cases of nervous prostration, dyspepsia and insomnia that come to him for treatment are to be directly traced to an inactive liver. Bicycles are now largely used in place of horses on American cattle ranches. PIPES OF PASSAGE. In the gray of earliest dawn, When the night was not yet gone. But the street lamps lonely and strange Burned in a still sea-change, Over the ghostly ghostly street I heard the voices passing sweet, Pipes of passage! Wings of the summer froth And the silent throats of the north Southward, southward away Peopling the ghostly gray, Over the city's sleep they ran, The innumerable caravan, Pipes of passage! Over our drowsy heads, Death beds and bridal beds, Over our human hush, Swallow and sparrow and thrush. Over our life, if life be sleep, Heat my voyagers laugh and weep, Pipes of passage! Joseph Russell Taylor in the Atlantic. TOM LANDERS' WIFE. "Your charge is looking pale, Mrs. Vanderveer," said one of the chattering hevy of embroiderers on the hotel piazza. "Sometimes I have fancied she has something on her mind." Mrs. Vanderveer frowned. "Nonsense!" she said quickly. "Black makes any girl look pale; besides, Elinor's mother has not been dead six months, and her deep mourning naturally shuts her off from all the gayeties of a summer resort. I try my best to make her feel less lonely, but she cannot forget that she is an orphan." Nevertheless, she felt worried. It was no small responsibility to chaperon an heiress, but when she had undertaken Elinor Haywood for the summer a fit of melancholia was the last thing in the world she had looked for. She had expected to have a battle with scores of ineligible men, the kind that always crowd around a girl with money, but Elinor did not seem to care for attention, and kept to herself as much as possible. In fact, the one eligible man in the place, the one whom Mrs. Vanderveer had picked out as the only desirable party, she had kept at a severe distance. This was Tom Landers—a handsome young lawyer of good family with some means of his own. He seemed more than willing to try to make Miss Haywood's life pleasanter, but lately her avoidance of him had been noticeable. Mrs. Vanderveer wondered if there was another love affair, of which she knew nothing, somewhere in the background. She determined to find out. "Why don't you like Mr. Landers?" she asked, when the two were alone together. The girl flushed painfully, and turned away. "I don't dislike him," she faltered, "but I don't care to talk to him; you know I like to be quiet. In fact, I was wondering——" "Wondering what?" said the elder woman, anxiously. "There are so many people here. I thought we might be more comfortable if we moved to some other place." Mrs. Vanderveer raised her eyebrows a trifle. "My dear girl, that's ridiculous. You yourself chose this place, and you know our rooms are taken for the entire season." The girl sighed and said nothing more. She was very unhappy. She longed to tell Mrs. Vanderveer what she felt it would blister her lips to utter, and yet it seemed strange that she did not see for herself what all the people in the hotel knew. For though Tom Landers had sought her out from the very first, and seemed to have determined to make her like him in the end, he did not conceal the fact that he was a married man; in fact, he was spending his vacation with his wife. Elinor had not known it at first. Mrs. Vanderveer had presented him, and she had taken it for granted that he was unmarried. He had been so kind and thoughtful, and in her loneliness her heart had gone out to him; without intruding upon her great sorrow or even mentioning it, he seemed to understand everything, and by the very sympathy of his manner helped her to bear her loss. If he had only told her then! Elinor could not remember without a certain humiliation the day when she had first discovered the truth. A party of girls had chartered a coach and had persuaded her to drive with them. Without listening, she overheard the conversation of the two just in front of her, and found that they were talking about the subject of her own thoughts, Tom Landers. "Yes, he's awfully handsome," said the first speaker, "but I think Miss Landers; his sister, is the sweetest thing. She came this morning." "She isn't Miss Landers, she's Mrs. Landers; most people make that mistake," said her companion. "He was speaking about it the other day. They think it a great joke." By an effort of will Elinor nerved herself to dress and go downstairs to meet Tom Lander's wife. She was at least no coward. He himself introduced her that very evening, and Elinor got through it somehow without breaking down. Mrs. Landers was very pretty, and very young, with a frank smile and a very cordial manner. One afternoon several women were discussing husbands in general and tobacco in particular. One speaker said that she allowed her husband three cigars a day, but when he was away from her she supposed he smoked all the time. Mrs. Landers seemed to find this very amusing. "Tom is the best boy in the world," she said, "and I dare say he would give up smoking to please me, but I would no more think of trying to limit the number of cigars my husband smokes than I would the number of clean collars he wears. Would you, Miss Haywood?" "It is a subject in which I take no interest," said Elinor, coldly, and walked away. A few days later Elinor met Mrs. Landers alone in the hallway one morning. "I want you to come into my room for a moment, Miss Haywood. I have something particular to say to you." Elinor could not refuse, and followed her. Mrs. Landers sat beside her, and took the girl's hot hand between her own cool palms. "Now I want to know what Tom has done to offend you, and why you avoid him so?" she said. "The poor boy is desperately unhappy over it, and I am sure it is only a misunderstanding, and all can be explained." Elinor tried to draw away. "Mr. Landers has done nothing to offend me," she answered. Just then there was a bustle at the door, and a bell boy handed a telegram to Mrs. Landers, who tore it open and gave a little cry of pleasure. "Just think!" she said; "my husband left the city this morning, and is on his way to spend a week with me. I didn't expect to see him for another month." "Your husband!" said Elinor blankly. "Will you please tell me how many you have? One is usually all the law allows!" Mrs. Landers looked puzzled. Then a light seemed to dawn upon her, and she laughed until she almost cried. "You poor deluded child, did you think all this time that Tom was my husband? Didn't Mrs. Vanderveer tell you? She has known us from childhood." "I never asked her," said Elinor faintly. "I took it for granted you were Mrs Landers." "Yes, I am; but my husband is my second cousin, and I did not change my name when I married. Why, I thought, of course, you knew he is my brother." Elinor hung her head, but could not feel very unhappy. "I am an orphan, as you are," the other continued, "and Tom and I have always been inseparable. I suppose you thought we were a newly-married couple. Well, what a joke! Now I must dress, for I want to meet my husband at the station. By the way, Tom wanted me to ask you to go, rowing with him this afternoon. What shall I tell him?" And Elinor did not say no.—New York Daily News. JUDGES OF WINE. The Pocket Nerve More Potential Than That of the Tongue. "Many people claim to be judges of wine," remarked an old citizen yesterday; "in fact, they resent any implication that they cannot tell a good wine from a bad wine. "Apropos of this, I recall an incident which happened here some time ago. The proprietor of a wine shop, which he had bought from a former dealer, lock, stock, and barrel, discovered one day a barrel of sherry which was not on the inventory, and which proved to be a sherry of fine quality. He searched the invoices but could not find any trace as to where it came from. He wanted to order more, but no one knew anything as to its origin. "He, of course, intended to sell it, and he had the sherry bottled. He put three kinds of labels on the bottles, all of the wine in them being the same. On one bottle he marked the price as $4, another $3, and another $2. He sent samples of each to various prominent citizens in town, explaining that he had some fine varieties of sherry, and asking their opinion as to which was the best. In nearly every case the most wealthy of the citizens said that the highest priced wine was the best and the $2 quality decidedly inferior, and they ordered some of the $4 brand. Those who were not quite so wealthy expressed their choice for the $3 kind, and ordered some of that, while the ones who could not pay over $2 said that was by far the best wine of the lot." Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. SOAP IN THE GINGERBREAD. A Product of the Maine Forest Which is Said to be Luscious. "Did ye ever eat hot gingerbread with soap in it?" asked Frank Brown, the oldest camp cook on the west branch, who boasts that he has made more than 2000 barrels of flour into cream of tartar bread in the course of twenty-six winters in the forest. "Ef ye hain't e't it, you don't know what's good." "Why, a lumberman would no more think of eating gingerbread without soap into it than he would think of drinking new rum without molasses. They always go together—soap into the gingerbread and molasses into the rum, and both are jest about as good as is made." "My rule is to dissolve a hunk of hard soap as big as a hen's egg in a gallon of water, then pour in a gallon of molasses, a half pound of baking powder and stir in the flour until the dough will almost run. Then grease yer pans, slap in the mixture and chuck it into a red hot oven. When it comes out all golden brown and full of sweet bubbles that smoke when you break them open—the man who won't eat such food isn't fit to live or die. "You can't tell me that soap gingerbread ain't fit to eat. I've eat it more than twenty-five years, and I'm jest as sound today as I was when I first tasted the food."—Greenbush (Me.) dispatch to New York Sun. Bird's-Eve View of Forest Fires. From an elevation of 8000 feet on the slopes of Mount Ranier last week Arthur Hunter, mountaineer, witnessed scenes of awful grandeur. It was given to Hunter to view from his eminence forest fires raging over a hundred miles away in Oregon. Flames shot upward from the tops of hundred-foot trees, and above them rose tremendous clouds of smoke. As he looked the flames crossed the Columbia river, and simultaneously another great fire began, sweeping westward from Wind river valley. Hunter's position gave him a panoramic view embracing the Columbia river valley, Gray's harbor, 100 miles away to the westward; Puget sound, to the north, and British Columbia in the further distance. The distant fires climbed higher in the treetops and then the great scene moved. The smoke poured high into the heavens and rolled forward toward Puget sound and the Pacific ocean. Soon the smoke became one great blanket which overhung all Western Washington, shutting out sunlight and compelling the lighting of lamps everywhere. Gradually the clouds of smoke rolled higher and higher, until they finally crossed the summit of the Cascade mountains and spread their hot breath over Eastern Washington. Los Angeles Times A Substitute Victim. In China it is nothing out of the way for a criminal under sentence of death to secure, at a price, a substitute to die for him at the hands of the executioner. Money, of course, comes mainly into play, the price going to the substitute's relations. A remarkable case of such substitution is reported from Foo Chow. The particulars to hand show that, when a certain childless criminal there was adjudged to death, his family met to see what should be done. The superstition of the land ran counter to a man dying without leaving a son, at least, to worship him after death. The criminal had a brother who had so many sons that he had no fear of being left without worshippers. The family decided to put him in as substitute for the childless one, so that the latter could live on to get a son. The military mandarin concerned was brought over, the criminal was set free and his guiltless brother's head was cut off. The family, the mandarin and the public were satisfied. But the mandarin's superiors did not see it in that light, and informed the prefect at the city. He ordered the mandarin to be scourged like a common coolie. Latest Parisian Craze. The latest craze in Paris is the wearing of a lighted lantern as a personal ornament. The fashion originated with a speculative manufacturer, whose "petites lanternes" were bought by tens of thousands at the fair of Neuilly. The lantern is very small and neat, and made in a gothic form after an ancient model. DEMANDS OF THE MINERS President Mitchell Submits His Case to Strike Commission. MORE PAY; LESS HOURS. Hazleton, Pa., Nov. 4.—The statement of the anthracite mine workers' case, which was filed with the strike commission on Sunday night, was made public today. Copies of the statement have been furnished to the operators, who will reply in three or four days. The miners' statement in full is as follows: To the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission: The mine workers make of the operators the following demands, which were formulated by the Shamoklin convention, held March 18 to 24, and for the enforcement of which the strike was inaugurated: First—An increase of 20 per cent. upon the prices paid during the year 1901 to employees performing contract or piece work. This demand is made on account of the following reasons: 1. The present rate of wages is much lower than the rate of wages paid in the bituminous coal fields for substantially similar work. 2. The present rate of wages is lower than is paid in other occupations requiring equal skill and training. 3. The average annual earnings in the anthracite coal field are much less than the average annual earnings in the bituminous coal fields for substantially similar work. Compensation Insufficient 4. The average annual earnings in the anthracite coal fields are much less than the average annual earnings for occupations requiring equal skill and training. 6. The annual earnings of the mine workers are insufficient to maintain the American standard of living. 7. The increased cost of living has made it impossible to maintain a fair standard of life upon the basis of present wages, and has not only prevented the mine workers from securing any benefit from increased prosperity, but has made their condition poorer on account of it. 8. The wages of the anthracite mine workers are so low that their children are prematurely forced into the breakers and mills instead of being supported and educated upon the earnings of their parents. 9. Wages are below the fair and just earnings of mine workers in this industry. Demand a Shorter Day. Second—A reduction of 20 per cent. in hours of labor without any reduction of earnings for all employees paid by the hour, day or week. The second demand is similar to the first in that it is designed to increase the hourly rate of wages of mine workers employed by the hour, day or week, and all the reasons applicable to the first demand are asked to be applied to the second with repetition. In addition thereto we submit the following: 10. The ten-hour day is detrimental to the health, life, safety and well-being of the mine workers. 11. Shorter hours improve the physical, mental and moral conditions of the workers. 12. Shorter hours increase the intensity and efficiency of labor. 13. The tendency of national and state government, of organized trade and of production generally is toward shorter hours. 14. A working day of eight hours is sufficiently long for the best interests of the workingmen and of the community. Better System of Weighing Coal Third—The adoption of a system by which coal shall be welghed and paid for by weight wherever practicable; the minimum rate per ton to be 60 cents for a legal ton of 2240 pounds; the differentials now existing at the various mines to be maintained. This demand is made on account of the following reasons: 1. Measurements by the legal ton wherever practicable is the only honest and just system of measuring the earnings of mine workers. 2. When the operators sell or transport coal it is on the basis of a legal ton of 2240 pounds. 3. The excessive ton was originally intended to compensate the operator for the weight of the small sizes of coal, which were then discarded but which are now utilized and sold, and therefore there is no present necessity for the use of any other than the legal ton. 4. The adoption of this system would remove an incentive, both to the operator and the worker, for cheating and dishonesty, and would allay jealousy among the miners and prevent unjust discrimination and favoritism. 5. The change of the present system to the one asked for would prove a strong factor in allaying suspicion and discontent among the mine workers. For Adjustment of Grievances. Fourth—The incorporation in an agreement between the United Mine Workers of America and the anthracite coal companies of the wages which shall be paid and the conditions of employment which shall obtain, together with satisfactory methods for the adjustment of grievances which may arise from time to time, to the end that strikes and lockouts may be unnecessary. In support of this demand we submit the following reasons: 1. The anthracite mine workers should not be compelled to make or sign individual agreements, but should have the right to form such organization and choose such agents and officers as they desire to act collectively instead of individually when they deem that their best interests are subserved thereby. 2. Agreements between employers and employees through workingmen's organizations are the ordinary method of regulating production and wages in the bituminous coal fields and in other large industries, and are benficial, successful and in keeping with the spirit of the times. 3. Unions of workingmen tend to the better discipline of the men and to the improvement of their physical, moral and mental condition, and to the preservation of friendly relations between employer and employe. 4. Experience shows that the trade agreement is the only effective method by which it is possible to regulate questions arising between employers and employed in large industries, and that a trade agreement is the only possible way to establish the relations between employers and the wage workers in the anthracite fields or a just, permanent basis, and as far as possible to do away with any cause for the occurrence of such difficulties as those you (the anthracite coal commission) have been called in to settle. Respectfully submitted. JOHN MITCHELL, Representative of the Anthracite Mine Workers. Use Rubber Coats and Hats. Shamokin, Pa., Nov. 4.—The arbitration commission arrived here at 10:50 a.m. from Hazleton.

Lake Geneva Woman Says Chicago Man Courted Her Seven -ears Before His Wife Died. Chicago, Ill. Nov. 4.—Alida Cordano, widow, 65 years old, of Lake Geneva, Wis., has began suit against Charles Thieleman. 65 years old, for breach of promise. The defendant is a member of the Germania Club and is said to be worth $50,000. Mrs. Cordano formerly lived at 104 Center street, but for two years has made her home at Lake Geneva. She was one of the chief mourners at the funeral of Mrs. Thieleman three years ago. According to the bill filed by Mrs. Cordano Mr. Thieleman courted her while his wife was dying and for seven years before. She asserted that her heart, already torn by one brief matrimonial experience, sustained shock and injury to the extent of $30,000 because Mr. Thieleman refused to make her the second Mrs. Thieleman. "I told her I would never marry her if she should live to be a thousand years old," said Mr. Thieleman, interspersing his words with a German phrase now and then. He is a retired cornicemaker and for ten years has lived at 202 Center street. "Why not?" he was asked. "I told her I was going to get me another wife." "Did you?" "Not yet." "When is the wedding to take place?" "This winter, I think. It all depends if I can find a woman that I want to marry. That woman would love me into the poorhouse—she is too expensiveness." Mrs. Cordano, who is represented in the breach of promise proceedings by Attorney H. R. Christopher, alleges that Mr. Thieleman did not tell her that he was married during the seven years she says he courted her before his wife died. COMES TO JOIN HER LOVER IN WISCONSIN.

She and Hakenstrom were lovers in a little village in Sweden five years ago, when the latter came to this country to better his fortune. Hedvig wrote him again pleading for him to send for her, but to her appeals he always had some plausible excuse.

CASE NO. 34,520.-Mr. Walter McLaughlin, of 3022 Jacob Street, Wheeling, W. Va., a machine hand working at J. A. Holiday & Son's planing mill, says: "I firmly believe had I not used Doan's Kidney Pills when I did I would not be alive now. I was in a terrible condition, and although I took quarts of medicine, and was attended by doctors, I got no better, but worse. Friends spoke of my bad appearance, and thousands knew about it. I could hardly get around and felt and looked like a dead man rather than a living one. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at the Logan Drug Co.'s store, were a blessing to me; half a box relieved me; three boxes entirely cured me." A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mr. McLaughlin will be mailed on application to any part of the United States. Address Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

Behind me stretch the lake's green waves so far The shore I left this morn is lost to sight: Though o'er it brightly glows the vesper star. Dear eyes will see, but miss my smile tonight. Before me in the purpling twilight lifts Another shore, and swift my bark draws near: near; Stange lights are twinkling through its woody rifts. Among whose glooms there lurks for me no fear. A day's short voyage o'er an inland sea Is almost done, and on the stranger's shore I shall lie down and sleep as tranquilly As on the other shore I slept before. A little parable hides in my rhymes— A tender parable of peace and grace. More sweet than echoes of the evening chimes That drift but now across yon narrowing space. A longer voyage I have almost done— Across a wide, and strange, and shifting sea; Morn after morn, and many a setting sun Have made that farther shore seeem strange to me. Backward I gaze o'er life's tumultuous main, Till mists and fogs oppress my straining eyes. I would not sail that wide, wide sea again— So look before me into unknown skies. Another port I soon shall reach. All other port I soon sham teach. That lies amid strange shadows, yet unseen. For signs more sure than gleams and echoes teach echoes teach How brief the space that port and me between. Yet, in its shadows lurks for me no foe. For Christ its warden's with me in the ship: And be my landing there or quick or slow. When He appoints-I'll let my anchor slip. CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE The Carews had quarreled. There was no doubt about it. A prolonged fit of "sulks" indulged in by Mrs. Carew because her husband had forgotten a certain commission she had charged him with had culminated in verbal warfare following the removal of the cloth after dinner; and this was followed shortly after by the removal of the master of the house. The act had been prefaced by a statement on Harry's part that if she was going to sulk all the evening he would go out and amuse himself, and then, hardly giving Millie time to get in a last word, Mr. Carew had dashed into the hall, snatched hat and stick and quitted Laburnum villa, closing the front door behind him with a vigor that shook the whole house. When perfectly convinced that she had driven him off the premises, Millie repented with the thoroughness that marked all her actions; she ran into the hall and opened the front door, in the vague hope that Harry was within calling distance, but there was nothing but darkness to be seen, and she reluctantly closed it again. And Harry had gone out without his great coat—he would catch cold, be very ill, perhaps die, and she would be responsible; the tears came into her eyes at this train of thought, and she felt herself the wickedest woman in London. As she stood remorsefully gazing at the garment Harry ought to have been wearing she saw it lacked the top button, and remembered during dinner Harry had said something about a button coming off his great coat. Millie carried the coat into the dining room and fetched her workbasket. The button should be put on at once. She laid the coat on a table for greater convenience, and as she did so a letter slid out of the inside breast pocket. Millie picked it up. "Henry Carew, Esq., Acanthus Club, Earl street, W. C.," was the inscription, in a feminine hand, and the postmark was on that day, and Harry's excuse for forgetting his commission had been pressure of work at the office; yet he had found time to visit the club. Who was his correspondent. "He certainly ought to tell me; it doesn't look like a business letter," said Millie to herself, and then somehow the letter came out of the envelope. She was only looking for the signature, but the heading first caught her eye, and it was, "My darling Harry." After that it is needless to say she read the letter. The address was 6, Queen Anne Villas, Wellington Road, Kensel Rise. My darling Harry—Your bracelet came by this morning's post: it's just lovely. But you mustn't be so extravagant. Be sure and come this evening to be thanked and scolded by your loving sweetheart, DORIS FORBES. Millie turned very white and held her breath. What did it mean? She looked again at the address, at the envelope, examined the postmarks. There could be no mistake; the letter was genuine, addressed to Harry, received and read by Harry—Harry, who had married her a little over a month ago. Presently she rose to her feet, shaking with emotion. That was where he had gone, to see this Doris Forbes; well, she would follow him, expose him to the innocent girl to whom he was obviously passing as a single man. Sternly repressing a longing to cry, Millie went upstairs and put on her hat and cloak; she would not let herself think of the future, but kept firmly before her the thought of exposing Harry to the girl he was deceiving. With the evidence of his double dealing in her pocket she came downstairs, and leaving the great coat still lying on the table, lacking its top button, she opened the front door and slipped quietly out of the house. !! The Carews lived in Kilburn, so it was not far to Kensal Rise, and a cab speedily deposited Millie at the gate of No. 6; in response to her rap a trim maid opened the door. "Is Mr. Carew here?" asked the wife, trying to speak in an ordinary tone. "No, ma'am, he's not." The servant turned and addressed a young lady who was descending the stairs: "A lady, Miss Doris, asking for Mr. Carew; are you expecting him this evening?" The girl came forward and glanced curiously at the visitor. Millie noted she was slim and pretty, with fair hair and delicate features. "Mr. Carew may come here this evening," said Miss Forbes courteously: "did you want to see him?" "You will do," muttered Mrs. Carew hoarsely, and without asking permission stepped into the hall. The servant had retired, and the two women faced each other under the ornamental gas bracket. "I must have a few words with you," said Millie. Miss Forbes, without answering, led MAY DISMISS FIRE CHIEF CROKER. THE EDITOR Fire Chief Edward Croker of New York, who was recently elected head of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, may be dismissed from his office in the New York fire department as a result of charges now being considered by Fire Commissioner Sturgis.

Conspiracy and malicious prosecution are openly charged. the way into an empty sitting room, then coldly addressed the visitor. "What have you to say to me?" "Are you engaged to Mr. Carew?" burst out Millie. The girl flushed hotly. "Yes; but who are you, and why do you ask?" "Because I have every right to ask. Because he is deceiving you. Because he is my husband." "Your husband!" Doris stared at the strange young lady who made this astounding statement. "Oh, no; you must be mistaken." Millie thrust the letter before the other's eyes. "You know your own letter, don't you? Well, I found it half an hour ago in my husband's great coat pocket." "There must be some mistake. Have you got the envelope?" "Henry Carew, of the Acanthus Club, is my husband; he married me a little over a month ago," replied Millie, producing the envelope. "I can't believe it," said Doris, slowly but she had grown very pale; "it seems so impossible—and yet—" A knock at the front door interrupted her. "That will be he," she cried eagerly; "now we can have this cleared." She opened the door. "Jane, if that's Mr. Carew, show him in here." Very faintly through the closed door the two women heard the footsteps of some one in the hall. Mrs. Carew stood by the corner of the table motionless; but Doris, in a fever of anxiety, moved restlessly to and fro. The moments seemed to drag, the delay to be endless, but really only a couple of minutes had passed before the door opened again, and the maid's voice announced "Mr. Carew!" A young man strode in. "Doris!" he cried, as he came toward Miss Forbes with outstretched hand and a smile on his face; but she just touched the extended fingers and indicated Millie. "Do you know this lady?" she asked. 111. The young man announced as Mr. and Mrs. Carew looked at one another across the table. "I have not, to my knowledge, that pleasure," he said politely, and then stared with amazement at the relief on his betrothed's face and the bewilderment on that of the strange lady. "I knew it!" cried Doris with heartfelt relief. "She said—she must be crazy—you were her husband." "I her husband!" "Is this your Henry Carew?" Millie finally found voice to say to Doris. "Yes, of course it is! Now will you kindly explain what you mean by saying he married you a month ago?" "I never saw this gentleman before in my life. I said I was married to Henry Carew; in my husband's pocket this evening I found the letter I showed you just now." In fact, except being about the same height, there was not the smallest resemblance between the visitor and Millie's husband. "Ah, the letter!" cried Doris; "that's what so bewildered me." She turned to ber Harry. "Where is the letter I wrote you by the first post this morning, addressed to your club, which you ought to have received?" "I did receive it; at 2 o'clock today, when I went to the Aeanthus for luncheon. "I have it now," he dived into his breast pocket of his great coat—"why, no! it's gone." "How did it get into my husband's coat?" demanded Millie; "that's where I found it." Henry Carew the second took the letter and envelope Mrs. Carew produced and gazed wonderingly at them. "This is positively uncanny!" he stated. "Has the coat been out of your possession?" asked Doris, as he seemed unable to give any explanation. "Let me think. I read the letter in the vestibule and put it in the breast pocket of my overcoat. I hung the coat on a peg in the luncheon room while I lunched. Then I put it on and went out. No, I didn't. I had half an hour to spare, and had a game of billiards and gave the coat to a waiter, and he brought it to me when I finished, and I put it on and went out. Ah! Is your husband a Henry Carew?" inquired the young man of Millie. "Of course," said Mrs. Carew, impatiently, "or all this trouble wouldn't have arisen." "Then I believe I know who your husband is," was the triumphant reply. Millie, who in her bewilderment, was beginning to wonder whether the existence of her Harry was not imagination on her part, gave him all her attention, and Doris began to think her supposition that her visitor was crazy might be incorrect. "He's Paul Carew, the junior partner of Stephens & Co., the wool brokers?" asked the young man. "Yes, yes,' cried Mrs. Carew, eagerly; and in her excitement ungrammatically added, like the monks when they spotted the thieving jackdaw, "that's him!" "But still," continued Miss Forbes' Harry, speaking more to himself than to his eager audience, "that doesn't explain how he got—why, I don't believe this is my coat!" He was feeling in the pockets of his overcoat with a puzzled expression, and looking at a season ticket pass drawn from the ticket pocket. "That's Harry's ticket! You've got on his coat," cried Millie, a ray of light illuminating the puzzle, "and he's got yours—but they're exactly alike." "Of course they are," said Harry Carew! "Harry and I patronize the same tailor. He must have been at the club today, though I didn't see him, and the waiter mixed up our coats." "You know my husband?" "I should think I do! Why, we're first cousins, and have been great chums till a year ago, when we quarreled over some trifling matter, and haven't spoken since. I heard he'd recently married. Hasn't he ever told you of his cousin Harry Carew? Fancy that!" "Well, Harry," said Doris, "you've never told me you had a cousin of the same name as yourself." "Haven't I? That just shows how we've drifted apart. I must make it up with Harry; I'm Harry Solus, he's Henry Paul Carew. Now is everything clear to you two ladies, and are the characters of Harry and Harry Paul cleared?" And both the matron and the maid declared the two Harry Carews were completely vindicated. Harry went home with his relation by marriage, to fetch his own overcoat and return his cousin's, and then left with a message to his old chum that he would call on him on the morrow at his office and "make up" their quarrel; and presently Mr. Carew returned and Millie made full confession of all that had happened since his departure. So, the moral of it is, never judge by circumstantial evidence.—N. Y. News. PATRONS OF SAVINGS BANKS. Women are Often the Custodians of the Family Resources. Among the 36,029 persons who opened new accounts with the Philadelphia Saving Fund Society in 1898, there were 16,-219 males and 16,810 females. This preponderance of females does not indicate greater thrift on the part of the women, but is an illustration of the well-known fact that in America the women, though they do not participate actively in the business of their husbands, as in some European countries, are very frequently made the custodians of the wages of the men, to spend or to save, as they are thrifty or improvident. These new depositors have also been classified as to an occupation, and this classification shows to an extent at least the social condition of these particular depositors. This table shows the occupation of the new depositors of 1898 in the Philadelphia Saving Fund Society: Mechanics, artisans, weavers, handi- Mechanics, artisans, weavers, handcraftsmen Foremen, managers, superintendents.

THE PRESENT COMET Remarks in England Upon Its Discovery by an American. The new comet has now been observed at a number of different stations. At the Lick Observatory it was seen on September 1, 2 and 3; at the Urania Sternwarte, Berlin, and at Konigsberg on September 2; at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, on September 3; at Copenhagen on September 4, and at many other stations. The materials, therefore, for a preliminary determination of its orbit are at hand, and the following elements, computed by the discoverer, C. D. Perrine, from observations made on the first three evenings of the month, give the date of its perihelion passage as November 24, a little before Greenwich mean, midnight. The longitude of the ascending node is 49 degrees 50 minutes, and the angle between the perihelion and the ascending node on the comet's orbit is 154 degrees. The inclination of the orbit of the comet to that of the earth is given as 156 degrees, that is to say, the planes of the two orbits are inclined to each other at an angle of 24 degrees, but to a spectator looking down upon the two orbits from above. the comet and the earth would appear to be moving in different directions; the comet moving in the direction of the hands of a watch, the earth in the contrary direction. From such a station, therefore, the comet will appear to pass over the orbit of the earth on its journey toward the sun about a month hence, while the earth would pass under the comet's orbit almost at the same time. This, then, will be the time when the two bodies will approach each other the most closely, and up to this time the comet will increase in brightness very considerably, for it is approaching not only the earth, but the sun, and is, therefore, becoming at the same time both apparently larger and intrinsically brighter. Indeed, it has doubled its brightness already since its discovery, and in a fortnight's time will be seven times its initial brightness. It may, therefore, well become visible to the naked eye, but it will be lost to sight before its perihelion, for that will take place when it is on the far side of the sun and nearly in conjunction with it.—London Standard. PASSING OF THE WELL SWEEP. Once Familiar in Yankeeeland, Now Supplanted by Modern Contrivances. In the course of a twenty-mile walk along country roads in Southern Connecticut there were seen by a visiting New Yorker recently only two well sweeps, once as common a feature of the landscape there as windmills are in Holland. There were found a number of wells of the ordinary kind, with two buckets at the ends of a rope running on a wheel, and one or two wells of the windlass kind, with a bucket at the end of a rope wound up on a roller by the turning of a crank, but in most cases the old oaken bucket in whatever manner it may have been used had been supplanted by the chain pump. At one of the wells at which in the course of this walk the two well sweeps were encountered there was found fixed in the well curb a steel spout. The old-fashioned well spout, it will be remembered, was of wood, and commonly so formed that care had to be used in pouring the water into it from the well bucket so as to avoid wasting it, inside the curb or out. The steel well spout is so shaped that the well bucket can be emptied all at once into the ample receptacle inside the curb without its sloping over, while the part outside of the curb is so shaped that the water thus poured in all runs into the pail set to receive it. This well was therefore, equipped at once with the most ancient and the most modern of well contrivances, namely, a well sweep as a means of lowering and raising the bucket and a steel spout. But the water from the well was quite unchanged. Like the water everywhere found it was excellent. Man might invent new-fangled contrivances for raising it from the earth, but nature at least keeps on doing business in the good old way. In the same stretch of country one who had not for some years before visited it would be struck by the number of windmills now used there for pumping water. He might have become familiar enough with windmills in the West—he would find them now commonly used in the East.—New York Sun. An Epidemic of Prodigality. It seems to cost a great deal to live nowadays. Most persons notice it, especially persons who are hard put to it to find the money to pay their bills. The statisticians report that commodities in general use cost on an average about 10 per cent. more than they did last year. The rise in the price of meat contributes a good deal to this advance, though breadstuffs have been high too. Articles of luxury, like good clothes and country houses, have grown dearer in proportion than most articles of necessity, because the huge influx of money that the country has sustained has made a brisk market for luxuries. Rents are higher, houses cost more, servants get higher wages, board is higher at resort hotels. The living expenses of any given family are very much affected by the expenses of other families of their acquaintance, and the scale of living of "other families" seems just now to have become inconveniently liberal. Prodigality is so conspicuously prevalent that it has become more or less epidemic.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Duties of the "Pet" Sheep. Out at the abattoir the "pets" among the sheep may be distinguished by their superior height and shapeliness and by the intelligence of their expression. The pets are murderers. In the other pens sheep come and go by thousands to the slaughter, but the pets remain. They are trained to lead their fellows to death, and they do this work well, for they have by reason of their strength, intelligence and beauty a great influence. When the butchers of the abattoir wish to slaughter a flock of sheep word is passed to the pets, and they indifferently, calmly saunter in among the flock, gain their confidence and esteem and then take their places at their head and lead them to the slaughter house. The bloodstained and murderous pets have more than one unsheeplike quality. They eat pretzels and pie and drink beer.—Philadelphia Record. Transmission of Sound. It is generally supposed that sound, like light, passes through solid bodies as an elastic penetrating wave, but late experiments by Dr. F. L. Tufts show that this is not the case. The transmission is by a to and fro vibration of the solid inside, setting up a new wave on the opposite side. It is found that nothing is gained by providing an air space between the double walls of telephone booths and of other rooms intended to be sound-proof, but that the greater rigidity secured by placing the walls in contact would more than offset any advantage of the air-cushion. Newfoundland caribou make two annual migrations—south in the fall and north in the spring. THE POR But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.—Matthew vi., 20. "Store away stores for yourselves in heaven." That is the rendering—in one of the earlier English translations of the Bible—of our Lord's injunction in his sermon on the mount. He had just told his hearers that the treasures laid up on earth were liable to be consumed by the moth and the rust, or stolen away by thieves. If they wanted to put what was dearest to their hearts out of the reach of the rust and the robbers, they must lodge them in God's keeping; there they would be safe. The shrewdest business man may often lie awake in uneasiness about the absolute security of his investments; the Master declares that what we invest in heavenly treasures can never be lost. Did Christ mean to recommend a large bestowment of money for charitable purposes in order to secure a place in heaven? Some have twisted this passage into this selfish direction, and insisted that alms giving in this world would purchase salvation in the next world. But our Lord never descended to such a mercenary morality; God is not to be bargained with for gold or silver. The scope of this divine injunction is infinitely wider, higher and holier than any pecuniary transaction for selfish purposes; it has an intensely spiritual significance. The treasures to which he refers are all those objects for which an immortal being ought to live, and the possession of which is the most pleasing in the sight of God. When any man gives his heart to God, and sincerely aims to give his life to the service of God, he then makes God his trustee. His property may vanish in the flames, or be swept away by commercial hurricanes, but what is dearest to him is secure. "I know whom I have trusted, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." This precious passage covers more than the salvation of a believer's soul. It embraces all the results and the fruits, and the outcome of a genuine Christian life. The moment that you are truly converted, that moment you begin to make spiritual investments, you begin to lay up heavenly treasures. The servants of Christ have a different arithmetic from the worldling. He counts his gains by the earthly possessions that he accumulates. The Christian often gains by the losses of earthly things. "He that loses for my sake finds" is an assurance full of good cheer to many a tired and afflicted child of God. Grasping after earthly wealth or honor costs very often a sad loss of grace and godliness. It is not what we take up, but what we are ready to give up, that makes us spiritually rich. Giving up for the sake of our Master honors him, and adds to our treasures in heaven. Therein is the peculiar glory of the martyrs; they counted not even their lives as dear, so that they might honor their crucified Lord, and glorious will be their reward among the crowned conquerors up yonder. It is impossible to compute what treasures every faithful Christian may be storing away for that celestial storehouse. There is a constant accumulation. There is a "laying up" day by day. God is a just accountant and a generous rewarder. A "book of remembrance" is kept, and God will give to every one as his work shall be. That record on high will read very differently from the assessors' tax books in this world. Plutus and Midas are assessed in New York or London as millionaires. Up yonder a "certain poor widow" will outshine many of these colossal money mongers because she put into the Lord's treasury the two mites that were all her living. That box of alabaster which Mary broke over the feet of her beloved Master will not lose its fragrance in heaven. Every act of self-denial for Christ is an investment for heaven. Every word spoken for him here will echo there. A precious encouragement is this for faithful parents, and Sunday school teachers, and city missionaries, and the whole army of hard toilers in the service of the best of masters. Do you sometimes get discouraged because you do not see more immediate results of your efforts? Don't worry. You are responsible for doing your whole duty; God is responsible for results. His "reward is with him" to give to every servant according as his work shall be. It goes without saying that, as "they who turn many to righteousness will shine as the stars" in that celestial firmament, there are some favored servants of Jesus who will come into magnificent inheritances in heaven. We can imagine Robert Raikes surrounded by a multitude of those who were the spiritual trophies of his Sunday schools, and Spurgeon welcomed by the happy souls whom he led to Jesus, and our own Moody finding his heaven all the more joyous for the number of those whom his untiring labors won to the life everlasting. Consecrated talents will then blaze as crowns of rejoicing. What an inducement is this to every young man and woman who is raising the question: How shall I employ my brains, my culture or my money to the best advantage? Even one talent, if not hidden or wasted, shall make some very humble Christians rich and radiant when they come into their heavenly inheritance. In these days, and especially in our own country, there is an astonishing increase of men of immense wealth; the word "million" is almost as common as the word "thousands" was in the days of my childhood. Haste to be rich is the prevailing mania; yet only a very, very small proportion of all the most eager seekers after wealth will ever attain it. But every one of my readers may become "rich toward God." The secret of it is to get by giving. This is the true paradox in the economy of grace. He that refuses to give his whole heart to Christ is doomed to perish without Christ. He that saves for self only loses; he that loses for Christ's sake is sure to save. Would you secure treasures in heaven? Then learn to give, and give bountifully. God loveth the cheerful giver. This is not to be limited to gifts of the purse; for the offerings of silver and gold are only a part of what our Master has a right to; we must freely give of everything that we have freely received. If you have the heart to pray give your prayers; answered prayers will be a part of your heavenly inheritance. You that have acquired wisdom and experience, give your counsels to those who need them. Give your personal labors for Christ and the salvation of souls; no wealthy Christian ought to compound with his Master by drawing a bank check in lieu of personal Christian work. Those who have not much money, or counsel, or Christian work to bestow can afford the blessing of godly living and a holy example. And so a Christly life may be a constant expenditure; even as the noonday sun overflows his golden urn of radiance, and is none the poorer in warmth and brightness. Such a life is a constant accumulation of heavenly treasures. It is a laying cut here for Christ, and a laying up youder. Every good deed is recorded; every victory over sin has its crown; every service for our Lord is remembered; for he hath said, "the reward is with me to give to every one as his work shall be." Labor on, pray on, suffer on, battle on, O faithful servant of the crucified Jesus! Every day will add to your treasures in heaven; and so shall you be made meet to be partakers of the glorious inheritance of the saints in light. HE KNOWS US. He knew what was in man.—John ii., 25. Knowledge of man is of two sorts. First, the knowledge of man as he is—the actual man; second, the knowledge of man as he is to be—the possible man. When it is declared that Christ knew what was in man, there was reference to the possibilities within him. Now, it is not very difficult accomplishment to tell what man has done, or what he is; but it is extremely so to give prophetic speech. As Americans, we are to-day sitting with pencil in hand counting up the number of dollars in our coffers, how many people we are, how many islands and ships and guns are ours. We have thus arrived at a general estimate of our strength. We have even dared to figure back through the century and measure and weigh our progress for a hundred years. But how many have dared tell what our nation will be a century hence? Some have ventured, but it has been of a fantastic and humorous character and was not meant. It is unsafe to play the prophet. We are usually left to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. He knew what was in man, that is, He knew what there was to come out of him if only the opportunity were allowed. He looked down the centuries; down, even past our present generation and a thousand years beyond it, and saw the man of the future—the perfect man; and it was to this man that He addressed much of His truth that seems hard to comprehend. When He spoke of faith, saying that if we have faith as a mustard grain we could work wonders; when He mentioned the perfect man, stating that he could eschew all evil and be perfect as He was perfect; when He mentioned love and commanded that we should love even our enemies, that we should do good unto those who despitefully use us, we instinctively exclaim, as did his auditors then, "How can these things be!" We are inclined to squeeze these and kindred great truths into the narrow confines of our contracted hearts, and, because there is a misfit, say that such things cannot be so, such living is not ours to have, we cannot attain unto it, only One has done so, that was Christ. Thus we do Christ and His word an injustice. Rather should we pray to grow that we might approach unto these truths, that we might magnify the heart rather than minify the Word. It would have been very unwise for the Lord to have spoken half truths to have accommodated our little existence. He spoke whole truth; He addressed the ultimate man, and it is our business to grow into that truth and not deny it nor minimize it, and sometime we shall know the length and breadth and height and depth of Christ's life. We shall even know as we are known. THE MEANING OF FAITH. A right apprehension of God if the real basis of faith. One divine personality, one divine essence, with three personal distinctions — Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent—all-powerful, all-knowing, everywhere present, changeless, God who is, and is a rewarder of all who diligently seek him. All faith is the same—faith is faith. The object of faith differs. Faith in man makes commerce international and business relations possible. Faith in the God of nature makes seed time and harvest possible. Faith in the God of grace makes religion possible. Without faith it is impossible to please God or live comfortably with our fellow men. It is not faith in a dead dogma, but faith in a living, loving personality. This kind of faith is not a theory of religion, but the power of religion which brings God to man and man to God through the vinculum of faith. Faith is opening the door to let in the light. It is a gift of God, but God gives it to all. That is, he gives the power to believe, the choice of being like a plant that grows upon the sunny side of the house. The World's Ills.—Christianity can find and remedy the world's ills better than the sublimest poet. Sin is the troubler, and the Gospel of Christ has the remedy for sin. When that panacea is applied disintegration gives way to unity. The trust and combination among workmen has come to stay. The two forces may be cemented together by the Christianity of Christ.—Rev. E. W. Caswell, Methodist, New York. The Moral Support. Without taking sides with the operators or miners, the time has come when the moral support of every good man who reverences law and order should be given for the peace and protection of the individual in his rights. Bishop Talbct, Episcopal, Philadelphia, Pa. MEMORIES OF THE WAR "A good man stories," said the Captain, "are yet to be told of the army foragers. On one occasion on the march from Savannah to Goldsboro, the longest, by the way, ever made by an army in modern times, the boys who had pushed far to the front intercepted the correspondence between Wade Hampton and General Beauregard. Hampton had been ordered to stop Sherman's army at all hazards, and he returned the order with the indorsement, 'All can't stop Sherman's bummers.' "This showed such appreciation on Hampton's part that the boys rather liked him, but they gave him lots of trouble and lived up to the reputation he gave them. They pressed forward every day into the enemy's country and became resourceful in organizing and resisting attack. If they came on a company or regiment of rebel cavalry the bummers did not fall back on the main force, or scatter before the rebels, but acting on a system of their own formed a line, and skirmished until re-enforced. More often than otherwise the foragers of one division rallied to the support of those of another and beat off the rebels before the advance guard of the army came up. "Under such training men became reckless and venturesome, but they became also self-poised and resourceful. Most particularly was this true of the bodies of mounted men whose duty it was to keep open communication between the several columns advancing on different roads. I have in mind twenty or thirty members of the Twentieth Illinois infantry, who were mounted and served as a sort of bodyguard to General Leggett. They formed really an independent company, engaged in all sorts of expeditions and duties. All of them had seen three years' service and were particularly well-fitted for the duties assigned to them by general and staff officers. "When we were near Bentonville a squad from this Twentieth Illinois company was sent across the country carrying important dispatches. They met the enemy's cavalry and the few men deployed at once as they would have deployed had they been supported by a full regiment. While they engaged the enemy the officer in command sat coolly on his horse striking matches. In every minute of that skirmish he held a lighted match in one hand and the dispatches in the other. He was perfectly cool. He knew just what he was going to do and he was not in danger of making a mistake. If his men were surrounded or captured he proposed to burn the dispatches, and he had a match ready to burn them, but in the end the Twentieth boys drove the enemy and the dispatches were delivered. This was only one example of the self-contained level-headedness that grew upon the men with their experience in an enemy's country in advance of the army." "The thing that most interested me," said the Adjutant, "was the unswerving loyalty of even the most reckless foragers to their commanders and to the army as an army. In hundreds of cases on the march to Savannah and on the longer march of 425 miles from there to Goldsboro men were absent from company roll call for several days in succession. At first this absence caused a great deal of irritation, but as the march proceeded it was found that such men were far in advance, taking care of themselves and devoting themselves zealously to the interests of the army. Sometimes they were twenty or thirty miles from their companies. They had forged ahead under the soldierly impulse of doing the best they could and had been carried beyond their own plans of the morning. Sometimes they were surrounded by the enemy and had to fight their way out. At other times they were in hiding and could not report until the enemy was driven away. "Again, having learned the location of heavy supplies of forage and provisions, they were keeping watch that the supplies might not be carried off by the rebels. In one case I remember a party of a dozen men took possession of every vehicle in a neighborhood and met the advance regiment of their brigade with wagons, carts, and old family coaches loaded with supplies. In another case when General Howard was deploying a division to capture an important railway five miles away a hummer rode up to report that a squad of foragers had already captured the road, and wanted him to hurry up. Wherever the foragers were, they were, in their own language, 'workin' for Uncle Sam.' "This meant that they were doing whatever came to their hand in the service of the Government. If they had cared to desert or to shirk duty, opportunities were open to them in every direction, but in not a single case in our division, did any forager who escaped the enemy's bullets fail to report to his company. Many of them were punished for missing roll calls. Not a few of them were marked on the rolls as absent without leave, but they accepted punishment and scoldings in good spirit, saying that a man who was working for Uncle Sam could not be particular. "In one case, one of our men was absent for over two weeks and the conclusion was that he had been killed in some skirmish or that he had taken French leave. But in the end it appeared that one of his squad of foragers had been severely wounded and that he had remained with his wounded acquaintance until the latter was well enough to be moved, when he carried him to the road along which he knew the Union troops were passing and reported all the circumstances to the commanding officer of the regiment. This officer in due time made report to our own regimental commander and the soldier who had been marked 'absent without leave' was received by his comrades as a 'bully boy.'" "Sometimes," said the Sergeant, "the regulation bummer was in the rear. He seemed to know when the rebel cavalry would attempt to cut in between brigades, and he was nearly always 'just foolin' round' whenever anything of that kind happened. Often a bummer on a mule would give notice of a movement to the rear and would ride along with the intercepting regiment to see the work well done. Occasionally a force moving in this way would come upon a group of foragers watching at a crossroads for the enemy. "One night a corporal came in late and reported that he had left Sergeant White five miles back, sick as a horse. Without a word, another sergeant who had just come over from headquarters left the bivouac and was not seen or heard of for two days. He went back to his sick friend, helped him forward just in time to prevent his capture, and after numerous adventures brought the sick man into the zone of safety. He never said much about how he saved his friend. It was enough for the boys to know that they saved him."—Chicago Inter-Ocean. How Lincoln Franked a Letter When the army was encamped in Virginia, near Washington, in 1862'-63, President Lincoln franked a letter, "Let It Go. A Lincoln," for a youthful soldier named Frank King, of Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, and the envelope is still held as a sacred treasure by the family of the soldier lad, who lost his life at Gettysburg. Captain Thomas Jones, of the Pension Office, related the story in this way: "It was no easy matter to get letters home to the loved ones during the War of the Rebellion. Paper and envelopes were hard to get, and stamps were almost as scarce as diamonds. Soldiers who were fortunate enough to be near Washington had their letters franked by Senators and Representatives, and you may imagine that our lawmakers were kept busy with their pens. President Lincoln was even known to help the boys out occasionally. On one occasion Frank King, a private in a Wisconsin regiment, encamped near Arlington Heights, got a package of envelopes, and, with a friend, Harry Dunn, went to the White House and asked Mr. Lincoln to frank the envelopes. It was easier to see the President then than it is now, and at certain hours of the day a soldier could reach him as easily as could any of the high officials. "When King called and the President knew what was wanted, he asked, 'Why don't you get your Congressman to frank these envelopes? I am very busy, boys.' "'The folks at home would like to see your name on the envelopes, Mr. President,' was the reply." Mr. Lincoln smiled, and taking a pen, he wrote on one of the envelopes the foregoing order. He carefully blotted it, and handing it to the young man said, "Take this with the rest of the package to your Congressman, Scott Sloan, and tell him that I said to fix them for you. If he refuses, and I don't think he will, bring them back to me. I want you boys to be brave soldiers,' and shaking the hand of King and Dunn, he bade them good-by." The Gray-Haired Veteran. The boys in blue! How proud we were When first they marched away: How proud we are, 'mid scenes more fair, To welcome them to-day! They're still the boys with earnest hearts That years can never chill; Boys ready still to do their parts And do them with a will. Yet time, with transformation strange, Has touched them in his flight, The hair once brown begins to change To venerable white. And so, fate's irony anew Eggs Are Sensitive. "An egg in the process of hatching," says an expert, "is remarkably sensitive to vibration. Half the failures that amateurs encounter in hatching out chicks by the incubator method are due to lack of precaution in providing against the effect of vibration on the eggs. The rumble of a train or the passage of a wagon along the street will spoil a whole incubator full of eggs if the faintest vibratory wave reaches the apparatus. Even such a little thing as the banging of a door in some other part of the house will destroy the chances of hatching out a brood where care has not been taken to place the incubator beyond the reach of such disturbances. A thunderstorm always gives breeders a scare, as thousands of eggs may be spoiled by a sudden heavy thunder clap. To sneeze or cough in the vicinity of the incubators will sometimes work a disastrous result." Six per cent of the German students are near-sighted. SHORT TEMPERANCE SERMONS. A young man from Masachusetts had made his way to a bustling Western city, and hung out his lawyer's "shingle." Then he sat down to wait, in anxiety, but with determination, for his first case. It came at last, an unimportant case from the point of view of an older and more experienced lawyer, but the event of a lifetime to this youth. He threw himself into it with as much fervor as if it involved a fee of thousands of dollars. From the beginning, chances seemed to be against him. The trial was before a justice of the peace in a turbulent settlement three miles away. The court-room was upstairs over a saloon. The preliminaries convinced the young lawyer that he had small chance of justice, and he asked for a change of venue, but the court indignantly refused, and he then availed himself of his remaining right, and demanded a jury. The jury was impaneled; the trial began, and the young lawyer fought with all his strength for the case against which he knew a strong prejudice to exist, but which he believed to be just. The jury brought in a verdict in his favor, and the young lawyer was surprised by a cheer which shook the court-room. Jury and witnesses joined in the applause, which the lawyer found was in his own honor. Even the Judge did not withhold admiration for the plucky young attorney. "Come downstairs and have a drink?" shouted his client, and led his way to the door. The whole company followed, and bore him with it to the door of the saloon. "Thank you," said the young man, "but I do not drink." "But just one drink to celebrate your first case," said the client, and it would have been easy for the young man to yield. "No, thank you," he said, "I guess you'll have to excuse me. I can't do it." "Well, a glass of beer, then!" cried one of the crowd, still holding his arm. "No, not even beer." "Nor wine?" "No, nor wine." The men were warm-hearted and generous, although rough, and were disinclined to yield to the young fellow; but he remembered the habits of his home—the little home in the Berkshire hills where he had been reared—and he took new courage. "Well, come and have a cigar, anyway," his client said. "Thank you," said he, "but I never learned to smoke." "Ah, well," cried some one in disgust, "let him go, then!" And go he did, walking back alone the long three miles, and feeling as depressed over the apparent disgust of his new friends as he had felt elated over his victory. He often referred to it afterward as the hardest struggle of his life, and he debated over and over again whether principles so rigorous as his were suited to his new environment. But he resolved to be true to himself and his early training. It caused him a struggle to decide, but he decided once for all, and in that same decision settled a great many other questions without knowing it. He did not lose by his fidelity. Even the men who ridiculed his Puritanism knew that their interests were safe with a man of such principles, and before long it came to be recognized that temptations and ridicule were wasted upon him. So were laid the foundations of a successful career at the bar, and of influence in the community. "I had two cases that first day," said the lawyer, years afterward, "and by the grace of God I won them both." "Wanted, a Bartender." The other day we picked up a news paper, and glancing over the advertisements for help, read as follows: "Wanted, a bartender. Must be a total abstainer. Apply, etc." Is not that a curious advertisement? What should we think of such an advertisement in any other line of business? How would an advertisement like this look? "Wanted, a barber who never has had his hair cut. Apply at the barbershop on the corner," or this: "Wanted, a salesman in a shoe store. He must go barefooted while on duty. Apply at Blank's store." What other business finds it necessary or desirable to advertise for help pledged to make no use of the goods sold? Can it be that the liquor traffic finds it has wrought so great demoralization among its followers that it is forced to draw upon temperance, or total abstinence fanatics in order to continue its business? For some years many of the great railroads, banks and other corporations have insisted upon partial abstinence from intoxicating liquor by their employees, and now liquor dealers themselves are advertising for total abstainers to sell their product, thereby confessing the demoralization wrought by it.National Advocate.

KEWAUNEE, WIS. S. F. PEACOCK & SON funeral Directors AND EMBALMERS 1 Broadway. MILW4UXEE. WIS. --- SON KILLS HIS FATHER. Waukesha, Wis., Nov. 3.—[Special.]—The commission of one of the most revolting crimes ever reported in this county took place at 6 o'clock last evening when George Bowers, a laboring man residing with his parents at their home two miles north of the city, inflicted injuries upon his aged father, George Bowers, Sr., which resulted in his death shortly before midnight, and cruelly beat and choked his mother, a woman of 65 years, so that she was insensible several minutes. It is believed now that she will recover. The commencement of the inhuman assault was witnessed by two persons, Charles Mayes, the hired man living on the farm, and Miss Martha Gerlach, who has been spending some time visiting at the Bowers home. As soon as he realized the terrible nature of his deed, Bowers, who was under the influence of liquor, ran out of the J. GEORGE BOWERS, JR. house, first chasing Maves into a neighboring field, and went to the farm of Nicholas Wallrabenstein, situated about a quarter of a mile from the scene of the crime, and stayed there until about 8 o'clock, when he was discovered by the officers and brought to the county jail. Under Influence of Liquor. According to the story of Miss Gerlach, Bowers, Jr., had been to Waukesha during the greater part of the day in company with his little son, a boy of 4 years, and had succeeded in getting intoxicated. He was given a ride on the return trip by a farmer named Connor, and he stopped off at the home of his half-sister, Mrs. Maduska, who lives about a mile from the Bowers' farm. Here he is said to have engaged in a fist fight with some men and his face bore evidence to the story, for when arrested later on he required medical attendance, so badly was his head cut and bruised. After causing all the trouble possible there he started home, and left his little son at Wallrabenstein's as he passed. Jealous of Girl. In an ugly mood he entered the home of himself and his parents, and the first thing which met his gaze was Miss Gerlach and Charles Maves engaged in playing cards. It is said that Bowers was open in his admiration for the girl, while she has never shown anything but contempt for him. She refused to go riding with him last week, and this incensed him greatly and he said that the refusal was the result of interference by his mother. With this jealousy, then, as an incentive, he rushed to the table and swept the cards and paper which were on the table to the floor and attempted to strike Miss Gerlach. When she spoke to him it seemed to increase his frenzy and he seized a chair and swung it around violently against the door, breaking one of the heavy panels and a large mirror which hung on the wall. This took place in a room used as kitchen and dining room Attacks His Mother. Mrs. Bowers, who was in the room and saw her son acting in that way, rebuked him and told him to stop the fighting. Shouting "Shut up, — you," he sprang upon her, it is claimed, and after first choking her, hit her with a heavy piece of firewood, inflicting a bad gash on her forehead. In his struggle with her Bowers put his hand through a window pane by mistake, and as a result cut his hand. The mood in which he was at this time may be judged by the fact that he continued to remark that he had just gotten through whipping two men and was afraid of no one on earth. Murder of Aged Man. Hardly had Mrs. Bowers fallen to the floor when the aged father, who had been sleeping in the next room, stepped into the kitchen to find the cause of the noise. Bowers then turned upon him with a curse, and after he had vented his wrath as much as was possible in words, he seized the chair with which he had previously caused so much damage and struck Mr. Bowers, Sr., a terrible blow on the head, and after he had fallen to the ground is believed to have kicked or struck him again in the body, and that it was this latter injury which was the primary cause of his death. As soon as the attack upon Mrs. Bowers had commenced Miss Gerlach ran to the home of John Dye and give the alarm and a man was sent to Waukesha to notify Sheriff Blair, who came immediately with Deputies Robert and Joseph Boyd and placed the patricide under arrest. Thought Both Would Live. It was at first believed that both of the old people would recover, Dr. Malone being unable to discover the traces of any serious internal injury, although he stated last evening that such injuries might exist. The reassuring statement had considerably lessened the feeling of the farmers in the vicinity against the drunken wretch, who had taken refuge on the Wallrabenstein farm or otherwise he might not have fared so well while awaiting the arrival of the officers. Mr. Bowers was 74 years of age and his wife is ten years younger. They have lived on the same farm for thirty years, the property being situated on the Beach road a mile past the Dye school house. Married Three Times. George Bowers, Jr., has borne a bad reputation for a long time and has appeared in local courts several times in the past four years. Two of the most serious charges against him on these occasions were assaulting his sister and threatening to shoot a neighbor because of a quarrel over the line fence. He has been married three times, the first wife securing a divorce, the second having died, and the third one, who is now living in Northern Wisconsin, leaving him because of alleged cruelty. He is a man of about 38 years and is by no means bad looking. He has on several instances, it is said, threatened to kill his parents for what he called their interference with his business. Of late he has been drunk almost constantly and the people at the house have been in constant fear of him. When visited last night the old home presented a scene of indescribable confusion. In his frenzy Bowers had broken furniture, dishes, windows, etc., and the floor was strewn with pieces of wood and glass and the deck of cards lay scattered about everywhere. Occasional patches of blood, and a slightly stained piece of firewood gave evidence of the character of the struggle which had gone on shortly before. Bowers Claims Self-Defense. Bowers denies his guilt and says that he struck his parents only in self-defense. He claims that they began to abuse him when he first entered the house and he only started to fight when his patience had been tried to the utmost. This story is denied by three witnesses—Miss Gerlach, Maves and Mrs. Bowers. The last-named has nearly recovered from the effects of her wounds and there is not much doubt but that she will be entirely well within a few days, if her health is not impaired by the shock of her husband's death. Hela Without Bail. A coroner's jury was summoned shortly after midnight and they went to the Bowers home, where the body of the dead man was viewed and then an adjournment was taken until Thursday morning at 9 o'clock, when the jurors will meet in the office of Justice Armin. The younger Bowers was taken before Judge Tullar this morning and held without bail on a charge of murder. He will have a preliminary hearing on Friday morning. LA CROSSE BROKER IS UNDER ARREST. Jerre Van Wormer Charged with Embez zling $11,000 of the Firm He Represented La Crosse, Wis., Nov. 3.—[Special.]— The warrant issued for the arrest of Jerre Van Wormer until a few days ago local representative of Finlay, Barrell & Co. of the New York stock exchange and Chicago board of trade, charged with embezzling $11,000 of the firm's funds, was served today. Mr. Van Wormer was prepared for the event, having expected it for several days. In fact he retained his attorney early in the week. Mr. Van Wormer waived examination and was bound over under $1000 bail. and was bound over under $1000 bail. The contention of the complaining witnesses is that Van Wormer mulcted them out of $11,000 by what is known in trade parlance as "bucket shopping" the firm. It is claimed that he repeatedly received various sums of money, presumably as agent of Finlay, Barrell & Co., to cover margins upon stocks which the patrons of the firm bought and that he never made any record of these transactions on the firm books, keeping them in a separate account of his own and pocketing the money. It is the allegation of the firm that Van Wormer habitually converted these margins to his own use, selecting for his operations the money invested in deals which in Van Wormer's opinion would net a loss and there would be nothing to turn back to the customer. Mr. Van Wormer has been in the brokerage business for years. He was representative of Logan & Bryan here for some years, finally going to Seattle to start a branch office. In February he returned to this city and has since represented Finlay, Barrell & Co.

Marshfield, Wis., Nov. 4.—[Special.]—The little city of Greenwood, just north of here, was invaded by a gang of robbers last night, who blew open the vaults of the Greenwood State Bank and secured $8000 in currency and gold, leaving the silver untouched, at about 2 o'clock this morning. Fred Woolikey and James Vankamp were awakened by the explosion. They hurried to the bank, followed by Cashier Sherbrook and others. The robbers had done their work and were leaving. A running fire was kept up by the citizens and robbers, but as far as known no one was hurt. The robbers escaped by team. It is plainly evident the work was done by professionals. Three of them were seen and it is thought there were two others. The vault doors and safe are entirely ruined. A bottle of nitro-glycerin, a sledge hammer and other tools being left on the ground. The adjoining towns have been notified and searching parties are out looking for the bandits. The bank is incorporated for $25,000, is fully insured against burglars and the depositors will not lose a cent. The bank will resume operations as soon as a new safe can be got there. MATHIAS GOTTFRIED DIES. Wealthy Chicago Brewer Passes Away at His Summer Home at Elkhart Lake. Elkhart Lake, Wis., Nov. 4.—[Special.]—Mathias Gottfried of the Gottfried Brewing Company of Chicago died here at his palatial summer home, Monday evening at 8 o'clock, after a two weeks' illness of 80 years. Although well advanced in years, he was very robust and active up to the time of his fatal illness. Mr. Gottfried owned one of the finest summer residences in the state, besides was the owner of the Elkhart Lake Light and Power Company, which is considered one of the best-equipped electric light plants in the United States. He was also owner of the Elkhart Lake Driving park, which is known all over the state to be one of the best tracks in the West. Mr. Gottfried was a native of Germany, emigrating to America in the '40s and located in Chicago, working for different malting and brew houses, and in later years started in the brewing business for himself. Being a man of great business ability and broad view, he accumulated considerable wealth, and today the Gottfried Brewing Company is one of the largest breweries in Chicago. He was the inventor of several valuable and important brew patents. He was a large holder of valuable real estate here and in the city of Chicago. Gottfried park here at Elkhart consists of about 150 acres. Mr. Gottfried was a fancier of fine horses and his barns here contain some 150 horses, of which some are very valuable. He also owned a model creamery, equipped with all the latest and modern appliances for the manufacture of the finest butter. His herd of Durhams and Jerseys number over seventy head. Mr. Gottfried located here in 1890, acquiring the site of the once famous Marsh Hotel, one of the most beautiful residence sites on the lake, and he had spent a vast amount of money in building up one of the most magnificent summer homes in the state. He always took keen interest and pride in the village of Elkhart Lake, and contributed most liberally to the beautifying of streets and avenues, and spent most of his later years here looking after his large interests. Mr. Gottfried is survived by his wife, one son, who is the manager of the Gottfried Brewing Company, and four daughters, who are all married and reside in Chicago. His Chicago home is 4559 Ellis avenue, to which place his remains will be taken and interred in Chicago. Mrs. C. E. Thompson, Portage. Portage, Wis., Nov. 4.—[Special.]—Mrs. Cornelia E.

His faithful attendant, William Bradley, was chatting pleasantly with him Friday night, the leper remarking on the near approach of Thanksgiving day, and in the morning, after Mr. Bradley had breakfast ready, went to call him as usual, when he found him dead in bed. Mr. Nelson was always resigned to his fate. Rev. S. Gunderson of Mt. Horeb had visited him and gave him the Lutheran church communion. He was a great reader of both English and Norwegian until about a year ago, when he lost the use of his eyes. Mr. Nelson was born in Sogne, Norway, in 1849 and came to this country when he was 7 years old and first settled in Columbia county with his parents, where he remained a few years, after which he moved to Windsor, in Dane county. There he lived until he was taken to the Dane county farm by Commissioner John A. Quammen in 1896. He had been afflicted with leprosy for thirty-one years. His mother was a leper and died about twenty-five years ago. TWELVE PERSONS KILLED. Explosion of Fireworks in Madison Square in New York. EIGHT ARRESTS MADE. Coroner Charges Gross-Criminal Neglect in Allowing Use of Dynamite Bombs in Public Place. New York, Nov. 5.—With a list of twelve persons killed and seventy-four injured before him, Coroner Scholer has inaugurated an investigation of the explosion of fireworks in Madison Square last evening. Eight men already have been locked up, charged with criminal neglect, and the coroner has issued a warrant for the arrest of John Dimundio of Coney island, who is alleged to have been in charge of the fireworks. "It is a case of absolute criminal neglect," said the coroner. "One of the mortars was set off and it was pointed at a row of other mortars in a line. There was a defect in the bottom of the mortar and it leaned towards the others, which were set off by the fire ball thrown toward them. District Attorney Jerome, who was at the Union Club, in Fifth avenue, not far away from the scene of the explosion, hurried to the scene and, after an investigation, ordered the arrest of the men in charge of the fireworks. He had the prisoners taken to police headquarters, together with the unexploded fireworks. Inspector Brooks of the police department also ordered the arrest of the manufacturer of the bombs, but he has not yet been found. Rigid Investigation Ordered. The district attorney said: "Dynamite bombs should not be allowed in such a public place. I have no doubt that a permit has been issued for the exhibition, but a rigid investigation will be made. Steps will be taken to prevent anything like this occurring in the future." A revised list of the dead follows: PATROLMAN DENNIS SHEA of the Brooklyn bridge squad. WILLIAM G. FEENEY. 12 years old; nephew of Maj. W. H. Buck of this city. HAROLD ROBLEE. 12 years old; son of Milton Robles, proprietor of the Bartholdi hotel. NATHANIEL DINGLEY, 13 years old. FIVE UNIDENTIFIED WHITE MEN. TWO UNIDENTIFIED COLORED MEN. WILLIAM R. VARCLE, 15 years old. JOSEPH H. HEBER UNIDENTIFIED MAN, 20 years old. ALBERT KAEMETIE, JR. W. S. M'AVERY, 16 years old. CONCILEO GAPPRENTO. GEORCE LANDAU. The scene at the hospital and at the morgue following the terrible crush after the explosion were beyond description. It is estimated that 50,000 persons were in the square at the time. Probably 20,000 of these were massed around the point where the explosion occurred and while they were scrambling to reach places of safety 30,000 others were cheering from the opposite side of the park, where they were viewing the election returns which were thrown upon a screen before the new skyscraper known as the Flatiron building. The persons in this portion of the park apparently were elated over the returns and supposed the explosions which rent the air were a part of the programme and were totally unaware of the tragedy being enacted so near at hand until a detachment of police forced their way through to make room for the passage of the men bearing the mangled remains of Patrolman Shea. Instantly a terrible calm swept over the crowd and all interest in the returns immediately died. Rescuing the Injured. As the long line of patrol wagons, ambulances and other vehicles carrying dead and injured filed through Twenty-fifth street for Bellevue Hospital thousands lined the walk and gazed awestricken at the conveyances. Five hundred persons gathered outside of the morgue and other hundreds came and went during the night, seeking among the unidentified dead relatives and friends whom they had lost during the terrible crush following the explosion. The scenes around Bellevue Hospital were the most exciting in the history of the institution. Nearly the entire force was at work over the injured. Sixty-five emergency surgeons and physicians, forty visiting surgeons and physicians and 200 male and female nurses, together with every attendant at the hospital was summoned for immediate duty. Sixteen of the best-known surgeons in the city and 150 extra nurses hurred to the institution to perform operations. Many amputations were found necessary. At the hospitals the injured were reported as being in a fair way toward recovery with the exception of Mortimer Butler, who became unconscious after the amputation of one of his legs and is not expected to recover, and Frank Leisten, one of the men engaged in settling off the fireworks. Leisten's right leg was blown off, his chest was badly mangled and his death is probable. TRAIN RAN ON SIDING. Black Diamond Express Collides with Engine and Fifteen People are More or Less Hurt. New York, Nov. 5.—The Black Diamond express of the Lehigh Valley railroad which left Jersey City, westward bound, at 12:12 p. m. today, was wrecked near the Jersey Meadow shops, east of Newark, about 12:20 p. m. and fifteen people were more or less seriously hurt, one coach and the engine being overthrown. The seriously injured were taken to a hospital. The express ran on a siding and collided with an engine sanding there. NOT BONDED FOR A CENT Auspicious Beginning of Menominee's Beet Sugar Enterprise.

B., Vice-President of "The Pastime Boating Club," writes: "Whenever the cold weather sets in I have for years past been very sure to catch a severe cold which was hard to throw off, and which would leave after-effects on my constitution the most of the winter. "Last winter I was advised to try Peruna, and within five days the cold was broken up and in five days more I was a well man.

The following is his testimony: "About two years ago I caught a severe cold while traveling and which settled into catarrh of the bronchial tubes, and so affected my voice that I was obliged to cancel my engagements. In distress I was advised to try Peruna, and although I had never used a patent medicine before, I sent for a bottle. "Words but illy describe my surprise to find that within a few days I was greatly relieved, and within three weeks I was entirely recovered. I am never without it now, and take an occasional dose when I feel run down."—Jullan Weisslitz.

The city of Paris, France, spends about $50,000 every year in maintaining its trees. There are about 87,300 trees in, the city, and they grow in rows along the sidewalks. ‘This number, however, does not include the trees in the parks or squares, To care for these trees a corps of inspectors is constantly on the watch. The soil about them is frequently re- newed, and iron guards are placed around young trees to protect them, says the Municipal Journal. To prevent the in- jury to trees which is caused by the as- phalt and sidewalks shutting ont the water, a circle of at least 9 feet in diameter around the base of each tree is kept free from asphalt or any pave- ment. This circle is generally coyered with an iron grating. The trees are watered by the street hose, and large excavations are made around the trees so that the water can collect about the bese of the trunk and percolate to the roots. Many kinds of trees are planted, but horse chestnuts are great favorites because they put. forth their leaves so early in the year. It has been caleu- lated that Paris has at least one tree for every one of its inhabitants, and the city ofiicials fully appreciate the great good that the trees do toward improving the health rate.

HOW TO CLIMB THE STAIRS. Go Slowly, Tread on the Ball of the Foot, Don't Lean Forward. “Those stairs will be the death of me yet.” You have heard the expression of such sentiment if, indeed, you have not felt the probability of the same unvoiced prophecy, Girls complain to me of backache and quickly say: “You know I have to go up and down stairs so much this year.” The flights to which they refer are in u town hall; the steps are high and flights are long—yet some can climb them sev- eral times a day and not have a grum- bling back or any other uncomfortable pert The secret lies in the way they jo it. | A girl is putting a severe strain on her ‘hack when she goes upstairs using a heavy, flat-footed tramp. She is uncom- fortable, a heavy step jars her spine and head, and to make the ordeal as short as ‘possible she hurries and possibly runs. ‘Naturally the body remonstrates at such pues treatment. have watched carefully the manner which most people rae 2 and think that you will agree that this is a very com- ‘mon spectacle.

Keep the weight well over the advanced foot, with the chest the farthest point forward. To strike only the ball of the foot on the stairs gives buoyancy of oe to most people, although some ciaim they can place the whole foot lightly on the stairs to good idvantage.

Freedom, Mo., Nov. 3.—A splendid remedy has recently been introduced tn this neighborhood. It is called Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and it has cured Rheu- matism right and left. On every hand may be heard stories of the remarka- ble recoveries and from what has been stated already there seems to be no case of Rheumatism that Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills will not cure. One of those who has already tested the virtue of Dodd’s Kidney Pills is Katie Anderson of this place, who says: “T can’t say enough for Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills. They have helped me so much. I suffered very severely with Rheumatism. Five boxes cured me completely. They are certainly the most wonderful medicine I have ever used.” Osage County abounds in just such cases and if the good work keeps on there will soon be no Rheumatism left in this part of the State. ieee tie eee The Chinese National Dish. Chop-suey, the national Chinese dish, is growing in popularity in this country. Over sixty Chinese and some American restaurants in New York serve it. The “base,” so to speak, is of pork and chicken livers and gizzards. Celery, mush- rooms, green peas, chopped string beaus and asparagus tips are piaced in a frying pan with the meat and covered with a vravy of peanut oil. heavily spiced.

How Japanese Handle Mortar. There is no hodcarrying in Japan. The native builders have a method of trans- ferring mortar which makes it seem more like play than work—to the on- looker. ‘The mortar is mixed in a pile in the street. One man makes this up into balls of about six pounds weight, which he tosses to a man who stands on a ladder midway between the roof and the ground. This man deftly catches the ball-and tosses it up to a man who stands on the roof. This plan would scarcely work for skyscrapers. eee eee How's This: We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J. CHENEY & CO..

FARMERS CORNER The first of the illustrations shows how a low down wagon may be made for handling silage corn, or for drawing green corn fodder, or corn that is not husked, or anything of that character, from the Wisconsin Experiment Station report. The second cuts show how ladders may be made that are convenient for picking apples. The last representation represents a sort- A ing table, or chute for sorting apples. Apples should not be piled upon the ground after picking, but should at once be placed on a sorting table like this and run off into barrels and headed up at once. The upper end of this chute should be higher than the lower end. The last two illustrations are from the Minnesota Horticulturist. Planting Wind Breaks. In many sections a wind-break would be a decided advantage on nearly all farms, and if one is located where small evergreen trees may be had near by, from the woods, for example, they may be transplanted now with but little loss, and especially so if in sections where the rainfall has been copious during the summer. This is the period of root growth with evergreens, so that if the young tree is properly handled it will live. Select a cloudy day for transplanting the trees, and have the holes ready for them before digging the trees. If the ground around the young trees is not moist, pour a pail of water slowly around the roots before digging. Then dig carefully down, so that the tree may be taken up with a mound of soil adhering to the roots; place it in the hole prepared, fill in with fine earth, working carefully around exposed roots and covering them well, press the soil down firmly until the hole is three-quarters full; then pour in water in sufficient quantity to thoroughly wet the roots; a half hour later fill the hole to the level of the surrounding surface with soil, and press down firmly. Large trees, in small numbers, may be successfully transplanted in the manner advised. Big Arkansas Pears. The St. Louis Chronicle a few days ago published a picture of a Duchess pear grown with six others on one twig in Illinois, and sent to that office. It was a wonderful evidence of the fruit development of Illinois and attracted general attention. Now comes Arkan- ```markdown ``` sas with a claim that Illinois cannot outshine Arkansas. Another box of pears was received from G. M. Settlemire at Cherry Valley, Ark., containing a twig to which were clinging ten big pears, being three more than the twig from the Illinois tree. The ten pears weighed seven pounds and five ounces. Mutton and Wool. It is surprising how many people are still thinking that the mission of the sheep is to grow wool, says an exchange. Many are abandoning sheep, says a writer in the Ohio Farmer, just because wool is low, and going into cattle and hogs because beef and pork are high. The fact that mutton is also high and that a pound of mutton can be produced at less cost than a pound of beef and about as cheaply as a pound of pork, and that whatever wool is produced is additional gain, is lost sight of. Sunday on the Farm. Sunday on the farm is regarded as a day when members of the families may draw near to one another. It may be regarded as the "home" day of the week. It is a good practice to finish the work a little earlier on Saturday. as this makes a splendid preparation for spending the Sabbath day in a proper manner. Regular Sunday school attendance is considered important, and is also that of church going. Part of the day may be profitably spent in reading good books or magazines while part of the day may be devoted to singing by members of the home. One writer thinks it necessary to guard against too much gloominess in the home on the Sabbath day.—Iowa Homestead. Fall Plowing for Spring Crops. One advantage of fall plowing is that it enables the land to absorb and store up more water for plant use than does the unplowed solid land. Another is that it dries out quicker, so that it can be worked earlier in the spring. These two statements may seem contradictory, but they are easily reconciled. The water penetrates through the loose furrows to the subsoil, where it remains to be drawn up by capillary attraction as soon as the ground is worked over with the disc harrow in the spring, and the surface gets dry and warm. The water, being below the furrow, does not make the ground as cool or as hard to work as if it was in the surface soil. An experiment made by Prof. King showed that unplowed land had evaporated or lost nine pounds of water to the square foot more than the fall-plowed land from April 30 to May 6. This was equal to 1¼ inches of rain in a week. What need would there be of irrigating the land if that was stored up in the subsoil, for the plant roots and the sunshine to pump up when there was a drought, if the top soil was stirred by frequent cultivation? The importance of this frequent shallow cultivation, in a dry time, and keeping on the surface a dust mulch is not sufficiently understood yet.—American Cultivator. The Apple Crop. The apple crop could be made much more profitable if better care were taken of the inferior fruit. Much of the crop that falls prematurely could be utilized in the manufacture of ciders which in turn can be disposed of in the form of vinegar at a reasonable profit. Wormy fruit should be fed to farm animals, more especially hogs, as they not only have a feeding value but handling them in this way tends to lessen the number of insects in the future. Many persons make the mistake of leaving their orchard down to a tough sod. In the marketing of fruit careful sorting is always profitable. In the picking season such apples as become bruised may be dried and sold at a profit if not manufactured into cider. Apples are exceedingly healthful and should be used even to a greater extent than is now the case. For a Stubborn Horse. George Becker of Piatt County, Illinois, sends Iowa Homestead a sketch of a device he has used for holding a horse that has become stubborn and hard to control by the bit. The lines are passed through rings of the bridle bits and snapped to either the hame horse that has become stubborn and hard to control by the bit. The lines are passed through rings of the bridle bits and snapped to either the hame ring or the gag ring of the bridle. This gives the driver purchase on the horse and the slightest pull will have a great deal of effect on the actions of the horse. Almost any person can hold a bad horse by this method, Mr. Becker says. Increasing Use of Corn Fodder. A census bulletin reports that in Indiana in 1899, 38,039 farms used 564, 770 tons of cornstalks for forage. Ohio came next, with 32,658 farm, using 563,149 tons. The other big corn producing States used far less and thus permitted a large portion of their corn crop to go to waste. Since 1899 the amount of corn fodder used has greatly increased, but there are no statistics of the amount at hand. Celery for the Market. For market purposes it is best to grow but two or three varieties of celery and build up a trade for a uniform product. The northern growers, for the most part, plant White Plume and Golden Self Blanching for summer and fall marketing, and those who make a practice of storing also plant some such variety as Giant Solid. Farm Notes. The importance of using plenty of seed may be mentioned from the fact that only 30 per cent germinates on the average. The conditions of the soil kind of seed, its age and depth of the planting must be considered, but the rule to be observed is to use rather more seed than too little. An excellent time to select seed corn is when it is being husked. All seed corn should be kept in a dry place, and if hung up where the air can circulate through it so much the better. In some sections seed corn is injured in winter by severe cold, but this danger is not so great if the seed is kept dry It is not a bad plan for any farmer to have some specialty aside from his regular crops, if he is not too short for help. Among the things to be suggested a small area in some one fruit would be within reach of all. This would afford a profit in the majority of seasons, and every now and then comes a year when a fruit crop is worth a very handsome sum. When the crops are removed from the garden burn the ground over so as to destroy the weeds and seeds. It may then be plowed and seeded to rye if not too late in the season at the time, the rye to be plowed under in the spring. The object should be to avoid having weeds in the garden so as to render the work less difficult during the busy season, and if this matter is carefully attended to there will be no weeds to kill in two or three seasons. THE HOUSEHOLD Two pounds of raisins, one pound of currants, one pound of citron, half pound of almonds, one pound of butter, one pound of flour, one pound of brown sugar, one teaspoonful each of ground cinnamon, cloves, allspice, ginger and nutmeg, half a pint of brandy and wine mixed and one dozen eggs. Boil six hours. Keep water boiling by the side of pudding boiler all the time, and continually refill as the water evaporates. In preparing the pudding have all the fruit stoned and cut, but not too fine, the almonds blanched and chopped. Incorporate all the ingredients well together before adding the eggs and spirits, and beat the mixture well together for at least an hour—the longer the better. Date Bread. To one cupful of warm wheat mush add one-fourth cupful of brown sugar, half a teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of butter, and one-fourth cake of compressed yeast, dissolved in one-fourth cupful of lukewarm water, then add one cupful of walnut meats cut into small pieces, three-fourths cupful of dates cut in pieces, and enough flour to make a dough that may be kneaded; when well kneaded, cover and let rise over night; in the morning, again knead, shape into loaves, and when again nearly doubled in bulk, bake in a moderate oven. How to Make Washing Fluid. How to Make Washing Fluid. A good washing fluid is made by mixing five pounds of salsoda, one pound of borax, half a pound of fresh, unslaked lime and four ounces of liquid ammonia. Pour one gallon of boiling water upon the soda and borax. Let this cool, then add the ammonia. Pour one gallon of hot water over the lime and let it stand until entirely settled, then carefully pour off the clear fluid and turn it upon the dissolved borax and soda. Add eight gallons of cold water. Six tablespoonfuls of this fluid may be added to a tubful of clothes. Fried Fish. Clean well, removing the head and, if quite large, the backbone also. Slice the body crosswise in five or six pieces, season with salt and pepper. Dredge with flour, brush each piece with beaten egg, roll in bread or cracker crumbs, and fry in hot lard or dripping. Be sure to have the fat hot, as it will not be absorbed so quickly. When the fish is browned, turn carefully to avoid breaking, and brown the other side. Garnish with slices of lemon. Panned Oysters. Put a small cup of the liquor from two dozen fine oysters in a frying pan or chafing dish, add two tablespoonfuls of butter and a dash of paprica, and when the butter is melted pour in a teacupful of cream to which a pinch of baking soda has been added, and when this mixture is very hot drop in the oysters. Cook until the edges curl, salt to taste and serve upon crustless slices of buttered toast. Salmon Timbales. Flake one-half can of salmon with a silver fork; add two beaten eggs, one cupful of milk, season with salt and pepper. Bake in buttered tins or cups for twenty or thirty minutes. Turn on to a hot platter and pour over the timbales one cupful of cream sauce flavored with made mustard. Garnish with parsley. Chopped chicken or turkey may be used instead of fish. Pickled Pearls. Make a syrup of three pints of vinegar, five pounds of sugar, one-half an ounce of ground cinnamon tied in a bag, and boiled all together. Then put in the pears and cook slowly. Allow seven pounds of fruit after it is peeled. If your pears are large peel and cut in halves, take out the core nicely; if small leave them whole with stems on. Corned Beef Hash. Use twice as much potato as meat. Chop the meat very fine and the potato coarse. Season with salt and pepper. Put the hash into a spider, add one tablespoonful of butter and two or three tablespoonfuls of rich milk. Cook slowly for half an hour, stirring often, let a brown crust form, fold like an omelet, and serve very hot. Cornmeal Muffin Formula. This recipe for cornmeal muffins was selected from among a housewife's choicest formulas: Two cups of Indian meal, two cupfuls of flour, two eggs, one heaping tablespoonful of sugar, one heaping tablespoonful of melted butter, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and milk to make a thin batter. Caring for Yolks of Eggs. Sometimes yolks of eggs are left over when making a dish which calls for only whites; drop them gently in a bowl of cold water if you do not need them immediately. They will not spoil if they stand for several days. Handle them carefully so they will not break. To Clean Rusty Flatirons. Beeswax and salt will make your rusty flatirons as clean and smooth as glass. Tie a lump of wax in a rag and keep it for that purpose. When the irons are hot, rub them first with the wax rag, then scour with a paper or cloth sprinkled with salt. Sugared Sweet Potatoes. Peel cold boiled potatoes cut in tw elengthwise, place in a dripping pa side up, sprinkle with salt, pepper and granulated sugar quite freely. On each piece place a small piece of butter, and brown in a quick oven.
