He buys, sells and exchanges railroad tickets to all points in the United States. Baggage transferred to all parts of the city. Another American Citizen Burned at the Stake. The United States of America is fast earning an unenviable reputation among nations through the Negro hating propensities of her lower classes. Already when she attempts to join her protest with those of more civilized countries like England and Germany against Jewish persecution in Russia and Roumania or the Armenians by the Turkish government, she is told "to look at home. However barbarous we may be," neither Russians, Turks, Chinese nor Sandwich Islanders burn victims at the stake and sell their bones as souvenirs." It is most extraordinarily peculiar how little indignation the burning of a Negro at the stake seems to excite in Milwaukee. Few of our loud-mouthed friends who are so ready to tell us how they fought for us have a word to say against it. Men who sat up all night to write anonymous letters in support of the Williams anti-miscegenation bill are as dumb as clams about Negro burning in Illinois and Delaware and peon slavery in Alabama. Where are the A. B., the C. D. E. and the E. F. G., who filled the newspapers with rot last spring. The Milwaukee Sentinel has taken an honest and leading part in denouncing these outrages. We learn with satisfaction that the arch slaveholder, Pace of Alabama, has been sentenced to the penitentiary. Amen. Thanks to the wisdom of the President in appointing Judge Jones. If there were more honest men like him in office throughout the south, the murderers of Baker, the Negro postmaster, who was killed simply because a white man wanted the office, whose baby was shot in its mother's arms, would not go unpunished and George White would not have been burned at the stake in the state of Delaware. Must Have Been Trust Made. Attorney General Knox, who is as keen in the enjoyment of the good things of life as he is in the pursuit of the trusts, invited a well-known newspaper correspondent with a golf reputation to ride out to the Chevy Chase links behind the record breaking trotters which occupy the honored stalls in the K street stables of the attorney general. When the two were spinning along over the concrete roads the attorney general suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to fill his cigar case before starting. The needed smoke was supplied by the correspondent, who seemed to have a bountiful supply. After the game and the bath, and the ride home had been nearly completed, the cigars having been constantly lit, the attorney general then discarded the remainder of his last one and remarked: "Well, we have had a nice drive, a good game and a pleasant afternoon, and I haven't violated my physician's orders (not to use tobacco either)."

Lewis versus Hattie Lewis and Mamie F. Lhado versus Joseph A. Lhado. Several fist fights were the outcome of a mixture of black and white at Forepaugh & Sells Bros.' shows last week and Judge Neelen was quite busy in consequence. Most of them paid their fines, which ran from $5 to $10 each. ★ ★ ★ S. R.

The Hindu traders (called "Arabs") year by year become a more important element in commercial affairs in Natal. That they are keen competitors and possess many qualifications for commerce cannot be denied. They live frugally, and can save money where a Jew would starve. Thus it is that many of them are becoming wealthy men, possessing a great deal of property, and in some cases even driving their own traps, sometimes even with a white coachman. A pet scheme of theirs appears to be never to pay until full legal process, even to the point of seizing their effects and selling by auction has been resorted to. Then they pay, and return next day to the merchant to begin a new account.—South African Exports. Gov. Dockery's First Silk Hat Dr. Dockery served fourteen years as congressman and two years as governor, without putting on a plug hat, but before he went to St. Louis to meet the President he bought one. It is said the Dockery wink looked very well under it. This conduct of the governor was not unexpected, but the talk that it will hurt him in the rural districts is a mere jolly. The people of Missouri all like to have their governor act and dress like a gentleman. They don't expect him to wear a plug hat when signing vetoes, but when he goes to St. Louis or Rome they want him to do as St. Louis or Rome does. Missouri has got out of the moonshine whisky class of states.—Kansas City Journal. The lock to be placed in the Danube-Oder canal will be 131 feet high, and the highest in the world.

Scenes and Incidents of Everyday Life in the Paris of America. Bellamy Storer, United States ambassador to Austria, and Gen. A. W. Greely were passengers on the steamship New York, which arrived from Southampton. John W. Gates arrived on the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm II. Among the passengers also were fourteen members of the Oxford and Cambridge lacrosse team. Alphonse Ftely, former consulting and chief engineer to the New York aqueduct board, and at one time president of the American Society of Civil Engineers, is dead. The steamer Saratoga, from Colon, brought the body of J. C. Ingersoll, late United States consul at Cartageua, Colombia, who died of malaria and dysentery while on his way home. Henry M. Flagler, the oil magnate, who has been ill at his country mansion in Orienta Point on Long Island sound, is reported to be improving rapidly and is able to sit up. He is suffering from lumbago. Three or four of the "suckers" that are said to be born every minute were aboard the Cedric on her last trip from Liverpool. Two card sharps departed from the dock "under a cloud," but laden with winnings. Maj. James B. Pond is still confined to his bed at his home in Jersey City, nursing an ulcer on his right foot. He has been ill for five weeks, the last two of which have been spent in bed. Maj. Pond is 65 years old. A. H. Ackerman, superintendent of the Sunday school of the North Reformed church, was heading a children's procession into the church and was in the middle aisle when he was stricken with apoplexy and died soon afterward. A dispatch was received from Charles Frohman requesting Andrew Mack to sail for England on the first steamer he could catch. Mr. Frohman's cable had its customary briefness, and Mr. Mack will not be apprised of the full meaning of the summons until he reaches London. Thomas Donahue, a native of Harrison, N. J., has become insane through excitement over a baseball game. Donahue was an inveterate "fan." He witnessed a game between Newark and Buffalo teams, which resulted in a score of 1 to 0. He became greatly excited and had to be taken into custody. A number of changes in the executive heads of the New York Herald have been announced. W. C. Reick, who for years has been city editor, becomes president of the corporation; C. M. Lincoln, news editor, becomes city editor; John O'Donnell, night editor, becomes news editor, and J T. Burke becomes night editor. Klaw & Erlanger notified Fred Bert, William A. Brady's representative, that Grace George would have to fill all her road engagements. This will keep Miss George from remaining in New York city through the winter, as the road tour is to begin November 16 at Philadelphia. She will appear in New York October 5 in "Pretty Peggy." James J. Van Alen, who has been reported missing for the last month, has turned up at Newport. Mr. Van Alen just had concluded a trip around the world, having visited China, Japan and India, arriving at San Francisco about four weeks ago. Since that time it was reported that nothing had been heard from him and fears were entertained for his safety. . ____ Men who were set back $20 or $30 last year for a Panama hat are inclined to ignore the fashion referee's decision that the Ecuadorian palm is "down and out." A New York woman who bowed to the dictum and converted her husband's Panama into a flower pot for pansies created a domestic scene the other day when she led the head of the house to the back porch and showed him the result of her ingenuity. Miss Pauline Schroeder of Omaha, Neb., who was a passenger on the Ward line steamship Seneca, has become the bride of Capt. Frank W. Irvine of the Seneca. Miss Schroeder was a passenger on the liner, having come aboard at Tampico, Mexico, where she had been on a visit to her father and brother. She and the captain met for the first time on the voyage to New York and were married when the ship reached port. "The Virginian," Owen Wister's story of western life, in which the hero is a philosophical cowboy, is to be dramatized. Kirke La Shelle has obtained the dramatic rights of the book and will probably produce the play next year. He has had several interviews with the author during the last few days. The name of the dramatist has not been announced. Dunston Farnam, who played the part of Lieut. Denton in "Arizona," has been considered for the title role. Charles M. Schwab's pretty little park on Staten island, which was designed to be opened this summer for the benefit of the poor children of Greater New York, will not be opened this summer. The workmen have been unable to get it into any kind of shape, and so the project has been abandoned for the season. Mr. Campbell Bannerman. Earl Rosebery. Joseph Chamberlain. The question of the hour in England and throughout the British empire is the fiscal proposition of Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain to abandon England's long-tried free-trade policy. Although side-tracked in the Commons by Premier Balfour's recent adroit speech, the question by its importance continues of first prominence in the public eye. The enemies of the government are seizing the opportunity to work for the overthrow of the administration. In this event Lord Roseberry would probably be made premier. Above are pictures of Rosebery, Joseph Chamberlain, who in this measure has reached the crisis of his career, and Campbell Bannerman, leader of the opposition. 1910 The efforts of the local authorities in various parts of the country to put a stop to the speeding of automobiles along country roads to the continual risk of life and limb of foot passengers, has the endorsement of the Automobile club of America. President Shattuck of this famous organization says that the club regards the unlawful speeding of autos as the greatest menace to the existence of the sport in this country. Schwab takes it philosophically, since he has learned that Happy Days, the boat designed to carry the children to the park, could not possibly be completed in time for summer service. 一 "One of the things I like about New York city is its resourcefulness," said a Boston man. "We wanted piling for our new Charles River bridge and the contractors said that the best place to cut the timber was in Greater New York. He was right. The piles were cut and are still being trimmed in Richmond borough and Mr. Ramsey of Perth Amboy ships them from there to Boston. Queer, is it not, how the forests of the first city on the continent supply timber for the bridges of the fourth city?" A series of warning signals were discovered in a recent raid on a poolroom. The outlook at the outer door had three electric buttons under his thumb. If he pushed one, a white light was shown in the operating room. This meant that the man who had applied for admission was all right. The pressure upon another showed a blue light; man making application might be all right, but there were doubts about him. The third was a red signal, and meant danger—"pack up and get out as Jerome or the cops are coming." Frank Dean, a vice president of the Seaboard National bank at 18 Broadway, committed suicide at his home in Orange, N. J. He shot himself in the head. At the bank the officers said Mr. Dean was despondent over domestic afflictions. Mrs. Dean has been an invalid for years, and an only son, about 12 years old, was recently stricken with pneumonia. It was emphatically stated at the bank that Mr. Dean's death was not influenced by financial matters. Up to a few months ago Mr. Dean was cashier of the Fifth Avenue bank, this city. He was about 40 years old. Many impending changes among the pastor and dioceson officers of the Catholic church in New York city have been brought to light, following the announcement that Rev. John P. Chadwick, formerly of the battleship Maine, had resigned his commission as chaplain in the navy to resume parish work. It is said these changes will bring back Rev. Dr. Richard L. Burtsell to his old charge, the Church of the Epiphany, from which he was removed by the late Archbishop Corrigan at the time of the famous Father McGlyan controversy. A singular claim of $1,200,000 has just been made against the estate of Gen. Samuel Thomas by his son, Edward R. Thomas, and his daughter, Mrs. Robert Livingston Beekman, who allege that they lent their father $600,000 each in the year 1901, at about the time of the failure of the Seventh National bank, to bolster up which Gen.

For many years he had been many times a millionaire, and just why he should have called upon his son and daughter to lend him $1,200,000 does not appear. Because Russel Sage made a mistake in the date on which "swearing off" and corrections could be made in taxes, he will have to meet personal taxes this year on an assessment of $2,000,000. It was presumed when Mr. Sage did not appear at the tax office for the purpose of "swearing off" his assessment of $2. 000,000 before March 1, that he was willing to allow the increase to go unprotested. In past years he has been assessed for only $600,000. The multimillionaire has sent a letter of protest to the tax commissioners explaining the matter, but the books are finally closed. The trustees of the free public library of Jersey City have received an interesting collection of Mexican minerals which were presented to the city by President Diaz. They will be placed on exhibition in the library museum. On the steamer Germanic, which sailed for Liverpool, will be Bishop J. C. Hartzell, Methodist Episcopal bishop of Africa, who, upon arriving in Africa, will commence a tour of 30,000 miles, covering every mission station of his church on the continent. --- THEY CAN'T BE PUNISHED. Public Opinion in Delwaare Approves of Killing of Negro. Wilmington, Del., June 23.—The natural and interesting question today is whether the authorities will take action looking toward the arrest and punishment of those who were prominent in the lynching of George White, a negro, early this morning. That many of them are known cannot be doubted, for they were seen by thousands who witnessed the affair. It is also known that the arrangements for the lynching were talked of in advance and that men were invited to participate and given notice of when and where to assemble. It was this fact that gave publicity to the lynching for the news that it was to occur last night was circulated around Wilmington yesterday with the result that the thosands who went out last night did so with the knowledge that the affair would come off according to arrangements. Could Not Convict Lynchers. It is a fact that public sentiment so generally approves the lynching that it would be hard to secure the conviction of a lyncher, even if arrests are made, which seems doubtful. During the day thousands of persons went to the scene of the lynching, many of them intent upon securing ghastly religies. In this, however, they met with little success, as the burning had been so effectual as to destroy almost every vestige of the victim's body. Couldn't Have Had Fair Trial. Judge Grubb of the county court today made a public statement in which he deplores the lynching of White and its consequent reflection upon the good name of Delaware. Judge Grubb also explained the action of the court in refusing to call a special session of the grand jury for the indictment of Miss Bishop's murderer. He says the trial would have been attended by such public clamor and prejudice that a fair trial would have been impossible and the court would have been compelled to grant the motion of the prisoner's counsel for a change of venue. Once the prisoner was moved to the insecure jail of Kent county or Sussex county he might have escaped. Confessed to Other Crime. White's confession, made just before the torch was applied to the pile of oilsoaked brushes around him, was an admission of everything and more than had been charged against him. He is stated to have said: "I was sent by Mr. Woodward to the corn field to try some corn. I saw Mr. Woodward's daughter and intended to assault her, but a couple of men came along and I did not disturb her. Then I saw the Bishop girl and I followed her. I seized her and asked if she had any money she would give to let her go. She gave me 60 cents. Then I again seized her and she cried: 'Please don't hurt me.' I choked her and accomplished my purpose. Then I asked her if she was going to tell on me. She said she was. I gave her a hack in the throat with my knife and asked again if she was going to inform on me. She said she was and then I cut her throat twice again and left her. "After that I went back to Mr. Woodward and told him there was no good water to drink down there and he sent me somewhere else. I went back once but soon left. Then I went back to the house and put on a white hat instead of the cap that I wore. You would not do this if I was a white man and did that." Story Drives Mob Crazy. The Negro's confession rendered the already incensed crowd even more desperate and some wanted to tear him limb from limb before they reached the scene of his execution. The Negro begged piteously not to be burned, but no mercy was shown the culprit and although his sufferings were terrible White remained conscious and rational to the last. While at times during the night there were at least 5000 people around the workhouse, the men who actually took part in the lynching did not number over 500. The leader was a man who said his name was Baker, and that he was from Virginia. His face was familiar to most of the people and it is believed he is a resident of Wilmington, although some say he had been imported for the purpose of leading the mob. Lynching Result of a Plot. The lynching is believed to have been the result of a plot which was concocted several days ago and was to have been put into execution Saturday night, but on that occasion there was a misunderstanding and the attempt failed. Early yesterday morning word was passed around that the attack was to be made on the prison at 10 o'clock last night and that the men who were to participate in it were to meet at Price's corner, half an hour before that time. The report gained wide circulation, but most people who were not actually concerned in the plot were of the opinion that the plan would not be carried out. As a result of the reports, however, people flocked toward the workhouse early in the evening, but the majority of these were there out of curiosity, although after they reached the prison many joined the attacking party. The police department was advised during the day of the contemplated attack and thirty policemen went to the workhouse. This was at S o'clock last night. There were several thousand persons at the prison at the time and the officers were powerless against such large numbers, so they entered the building to assist the guards in an effort to protect the prisoner. During one of the rushes made by the crowds several shots were exchanged and Peter Smith was shot in the back and seriously injured. Wounded Boy Will Die. The wounded boy will die. The shooting did not have any effect on the crowd other than to frighten a few off the lawns surrounding the workhouse, but they returned with re-enforcements and aided those who were striving to get to the Negro's cell. Upon arriving at the workhouse the mob lost no time in preliminary preparations. The crowd advanced into the front vestibule or reception hall and demanded admittance to the jail. These demands were refused by the guards and they were deluged by a stream of water from the fire-fighting equipment of the institution. This did not lessen the eagerness of the besiegers, who immediately began an assault upon the iron doors. Chief Black shouted to the crowd: "The first man that comes into this corridor will be killed." "Then You Had Better Kill Me." A man, said to be from the south, grasped one of the heavy sledge hammers and as he attacked the steel grating cried: "Then you had better kill me for the first one." In addition to Peter Smith, a youth name not known, was slightly wounded during a fusilade. While about 300 men and boys were storming the front of the jail, several thousand of sympathizers were lined up outside, but took no active part in the attack, but were plainly in favor of lynching White. The leaders told Chief Black and Warden Meserve that they intended to get the Negro if they had to break every steel door in the place and argued that it was a useless expense to the county to have unnecessary damage done to property. In Cell Number Thirteen. Officials saw the strength of this argument and informed the leaders that White was in cell No. 13 on the front row, third story. This was enough and the door to this row of cells was at once attacked. While this door was being cut another party with sledges and chisels attacked the large steel box containing the levers that opened and closed the cell doors. It was 12:22 o'clock when the yelling and cursing mob rushed into the corridor past the cell doors of the frightened prisoners to the cell occupied by White. Here more trouble was encountered, for in smashing the lever box the mechanism was damaged and the door to the cell of White could not be opened. Nearly Got Wrong Man. Warden Meserve then rushed into the cell corridor to prevent the mob from taking the wrong man. He saw that the men with hammers were about to demolish the cell door and told them how to disconnect the door so that it could be operated. White fought desperately for his life and knocked down the first man who approached him. One of the leaders of the mob protected the frightened wretch. The narrow corridor was so tightly packed by the mob that it was impossible to get the prisoner out. After much difficulty the crowd was persuaded to retreat from the building. White, in the custody of two men, brought up the rear. Rushed Away in the Darkness. White's custodians became convinced that unless strategy was used there would be little chance of getting their man to the spot on Price's road, where it was planned that he should be buried to death. An order was given to extinguish lanterns. In the darkness there was a confused rush and after this no one seemed to know where the prisoner was. White Prays for Forgiveness. He prayed fervently to God to forgive his sins. While White was praying and confessing and the crowd was struggling to form a circle three or four men began splitting rails with which to burn the wretch. It took so long to get the fuel ready that the crowd impatiently cried to the leaders to proceed with the execution. The mob numbered from 5000 to 6000 persons, who surged back and forth, crowding and pushing to gain or retain a good position from which to see the burning. Just before the fire was lit White made another confession and appealed to God for mercy. Sweet Young Girl Fiend's Victim The Negro's victim would have been 18 years old next October. She was a beautiful girl and a student of the Wilmington high school and was on her way home from the school last Monday afternoon when she was attacked. Late Monday afternoon a farmer, working in the field, saw a young woman stagger and fall in the road. She got up and fell again and then she tried to crawl. The farmer and his sons went to her assistance, but when they reached the girl she was lying unconscious in the road. They found her to be Miss Bishop. She had three ugly gashes in her throat, her body was badly scratched, and her clothing was torn in many places. In one hand she clutched a small penknife, which she used at school in sharpening pencils. There was every evidence that Miss Bishop had made a desperate resistance in defense of her honor and her life. The wounded girl died the next afternoon. This is the first lynching in the state of Delaware since 1865, when a man named Peterson was hanged near the town of Smyrna. SENT TO BOTTOM. Tug Collides with Steamer Off Buffalo and Three of the Crew Are Drowned. Buffalo, N. Y., June 23.-The Great Lakes tug O. W. Cheney was run down by the propeller Chemung early today about seven miles up the lake. Three members of the tug's crew were drowned, as follows: DUGAN, EDDIE, fireman. The engineer, James T. Byers, and the other fireman were picked up by the tug Frank S. Butler and brought to this city. The Cheney had gone up to the lake to meet the Chemung and tow her into port. As the tug neared the propeller and drew close to the line she ran under the bow of the Chemung. The propeller's bow hit the tug amidships, capsizing and sinking it. At the time of the accident a heavy sea was running, and a thick fog lay over the surface of the water. The tug ran too close to the oncoming steamer and was struck by her bows. The tug was sent down without a second's warning to the crew. MAY ENTER ANNAPOLIS Partial Results of Naval Academy Examinations Show Harold M.

Russian and Austrian Ambassadors Are the Only Foreign Envoys to Acknowledge King Peter. Belgrade, June 24.—King Peter arrived here at 10 o'clock this morning. He was received with great enthusiasm. The ministers, government officials, judges, municipal and military authorities and leading citizens were assembled on the platform of the railroad station, which was profusely decorated. The only foreign representatives who participated in the reception of the King were the Russian minister, M. Teharykoff, and the Austrian minister, Herr Dumba, with the members of their respective legations. Russia and Austria Greet King. A guard of honor, with a band, saluted as King Peter descended from his car and greeted the cabinet ministers. The premier, M. Avakunovles, introduced M. Tcharykoff to the King and the Russian minister presented the Austrian minister. Thus the Austrian minister had no intercourse with the provisional government with which thus far he has had no relations. King Goes to Cathedral. A procession was then formed and the King proceeded to the cathedral. The streets were lined with troops and crowded with people who had been pouring into Belgrade from the provinces during the last day or two. After the celebration of mass, which was attended with all the splendor of the eastern church, King Peter drove in state to the new palace. People Are Enthusiastic. Although the King's entry into Belgrade was distinguished by a diplomatic boycott, his reception by the people was everywhere marked by heartiness which approached genuine enthusiasm, in which all classes participated. The officials were in uniform and wore all their decorations. Awaken from Their Indifference The King's arrival has wakened the people out of the attitude of indifference which they had assumed since the assassinations of King Alexander and Queen Draga. From the moment King Peter left the train and the band welcomed him with playing the Servian national anthem, his progress was followed by prolonged cheers and exultant shouts of "Long Live Peter the First" wherever he appeared. King Grects Assassin's Leader The premier made a speech before the King's departure from the railroad station welcoming his majesty, who in a brief reply expressed his appreciation of his election to the throne. The King then exchanged greetings with the cabinet ministers, including Col. Machin, minister of public works, who took a leading part in the assassinations, and interchanged compliments with the Russian and Austrian ministers. "God Help the Servians." During the ceremony at the cathedral the metropolitan delivered a short address and prayed God to help the Servian people. On leaving the cathedral King Peter was again welcomed with shouts of "Long Live the King." After his arrival at the new palace the King received an address of welcome from the Skupshtina. Insolent Note to Roumanian King. Insolent Note to Roumanian King. Vienna, June 24.—A dispatch from Bucharest says the King of Roumania has received an insolent telegram signed by several officers of the Sixth Servian infantry, of which regiment he recently resigned the honorary colonelcy. The officers declare in offensive language that King Charles is not competent to judge their actions. They say that he himself ascended the throne of Roumania after a military breach of faith and add that they forego with pleasure the distinction of their regiment bearing the Roumanian King's name. American won't Recognize Peter. Washington, D. C., June 24.—It is learned at the state department that United States Minister Jackson has left Belgrade on his return to Athens, to which capital he is also accredited, via, Constantinople. He has not presented his credentials to King Peter, in fact they have not yet been prepared at the state department, and his course will be in line with that adopted by the diplomatic representatives of Great Britain, Germany, France and the other countries which have, up to date, refused to recognize the new Servian government. MINNESOTA WINS CLAIM. Strip of Land Near Virginia Disputed by Wisconsin Parties Belongs to the State. St. Paul, Minn., June 24.—The state of Minnesota has won its claim to the famous strip of iron ore land near Virginia under the swamp land act, disputed by Wisconsin parties. E. S. Warner, United States surveyor general for Minnesota, today filed his decision that the land in question, less than 160 acres, was swamp land, as proved by the survey of 1894. He has certified the land to the state auditor. WILL EXPLAIN FOR A PRICE Rock Elm, Wis., Man Will Disclose Invention for $2,000,000. New York, June 24.—Melvin T.

Wilmington, Del., June 24.—The arrest of Arthur Corwell, who was taken into custody last night on suspicion of being implicated in the lynching of George White, the Negro murderer of Miss Bishop, is the only one made thus far. The arrest was made at the instance of Attorney General Ward. Corwell will be arraigned for a preliminary hearing on a charge of murder as soon as the state authorities can make the necessary arrangements. It is expected that other arrests will follow, but the attorney general said today that no additional warrants had been issued and he did not know whether any more would be sworn out.

Cleveland, O., June 24.—George Kincaid, a Negro, who seriously wounded two white men, was lynched near Ruleville early this morning. HIGH CHURCHMEN VIOLATE ARTICLES. English Vicar Writes to Bishop Potter Protesting Against "High Mass" in Episcopal Churches. New York, June 24.—Rev. R. C. Fillingham, vicar of Hexton, England, has sent a letter to Bishop Potter of the Episcopal diocese of New York protesting against the performance of "high mass" in a Protestant church in this city. The vicar cites specifically the services at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, which he witnessed last Sunday. He says that the whole service was a defiance of Protestantism. Dr. Fillingham says in part: The Church of England was reformed especially to get rid of the mass; but on Sunday morning what was openly and cynically termed "high mass" was performed. And the proceedings culminated in the elevation and adoration of the senseless elements of bread and wine—an act of idolatry which, as our prayer book says, should be abhorred by all Christian men. Sir, the articles of religion adopted by the whole Protestant Episcopal church in 1801 describes masses as "blasphemous fables and dangerous decests." I call upon you to take steps to put an end to these scandalous and idolatrous proceedings. FALLS OFF POLE AND HURTS THREE WOMEN. Strange Accident at Hartford, Conn., Will Result in a Death—Four Are Badly Injured. Hartford, Conn., June 24.—Falling a distance of thirty-five feet from the crossbar of a telephone pole to the ground today.

Man Charged with Trying to Murder Three Persons. Alton. Ill., June 24.--Through the statement of Miss Elizabeth Bailey, who recovered consciousness in St. Joseph's hospital, the police arrested Frank Gratehouse, charging him with the murder of Mrs. Augusta Bailey. Mrs. Bailey was found dead beside a country road a few days ago. Her daughter Elizabeth was lying unconscious beside her. Her husband and a Negro were taken into custody at the time. It was learned that Gratehouse had quarreled with Miss Bailey some time before the death of Mrs. Bailey. There was nothing in the quarrel that the man should attempt the lives of three persons. It is believed that Miss Bailey cannot recover. WILL RE-OPEN COPPER MINE. Isle Royale Property Near Houghton, Mich. Will Soon Be in Operation. Houghton, Mich., June 24.—[Special.] —Work at No. 1 shaft of Isle Royale mine will be resumed in several weeks in compliance with orders from the eastern office, it having been closed since last August. This will give employment to 150 men. The company evidently waited to allow the copper market to prove its stability before resuming operations at No. 1 and the policy of reopening indicates that the management is confident of the present price being on a solid basis. ADVISES NEGROES TO ARM Colored Men Must Protect Themselves Against Lynchings. Chicago, Ill., June 24.—At a meeting of colored people held last night to protest against the lynching of the Negro, David T. Wyatt at Belleville, Ill., recently, Rev. C. H. Thomas, one of the speakers, advised his hearers that they should, if the hanging and burning of colored men is not stopped by the regular authorities, sell their coats and buy guns with which to defend themselves. SIR TOM ARRIVES New York, June 24.—Sir Thomas Lipton arrived here this afternoon on the White Star liner Oceanic. On board the boat was J. Pierpont Morgan. At quarantine Sir Thomas said he was glad to arrive in port once more. He said the challenger would have a spin outside on Saturday. "She is a remarkable boat." he said: "I know you people have a good one, but the Shamrock III. is a remarkable boat." He was also anxious to learn all about the Reliance, and when told of that yacht's performance he said: "This was all in light weather, was it not? However, we have a remarkable boat." Invitation from President. The Oceanic, from Liverpool, was reported at 10:30 a. m. from Nantucket. When the Oceanic was reported, Sir Thomas' steam yacht Erin, conveyed by the ocean tug Cruiser, which was sent across with the Shamrocks, started down the bay. Ex-Commodore Smith's yacht, the Privateer, which had been the regatta committee's boat at all the races of the 90-footers, thus far held under the New York Yacht club auspices, also started out to greet Sir Thomas. On the Privateer was Adjt-Gen. Corbin, who will welcome Sir Thomas on behalf of President Roosevelt. Gen. Corbin bears an invitation to Sir Thomas to take luncheon at the white house Friday.

Henderson of Chicago Fails—Contracts Disease During an Operation. Chicago, Ill., June 24. In spite of the efforts of several of Chicago's best surgeons to save his life, Dr. Nelson H. Henderson, the executive head of Lakeside hospital, died yesterday. He was the victim of his desire to ease a patient's suffering. Mrs. A. C. Wood was sent to the hospital May 13. Dr. Henderson saw that she was afflicted with virulent septicemia and he immediately operated. She died early the next morning. The third day after the operation Dr. Henderson reported to his assistant that the index finger of his left hand was sore. June 1 he suffered a chill and he was examined critically by several physicians. Dr. Henderson believed the rubber gloves worn during the operation were defective, and said he remembered having had a hang nail on the finger. It was discovered that he had contracted the streptococcus germ, the most deadly of all bacilli known in blood poisoning cases. Death soon came. DR. MADDEN TO GO ABROAD Milwaukee Physician Will Travel with a Patient to Look After Her Health. Laporte, Ind., June 24.—[Special.]—Dr. John Madden of Milwaukee will leave for Europe July 13 with Mr. and Mrs. Gates, to be absent one year, during which time a tour will be made of the continent for the restoration of Mrs. Gates' health.

There Is No Chance of Recovering Eyesight as the Optic Nerve Has Been Destroyed. New York, June 24.—Ira D. Sankey, the evangelist, is now hopelessly blind. Mrs. I. Allan Sankey, his daughter-in-law, said today: "The best eye specialists examined Mr. Sankey and all agree that his case is hopeless. The optic nerve has been entirely destroyed." Mr. Sankey's trouble is a result of an attack of trachoma. MORE RATE CUTTING. Wisconsin Central Chops Fare Between St. Paul and Chicago and Western Passenger Rates Demoralized. Chicago, Ill., June 24.—Further demoralization in the western passenger rates situation developed today when the Wisconsin Central announced its intention of making the $8 rate now in effect between Chicago and St. Paul the basis for computing all excursion rates. The action of the Wisconsin Central will have the effect of reducing all excursion rates from St. Paul to Chicago by $3.50. MAN WHO LIVED AS AN OX DIES. Dr. Edward Stanton of Kokomo, Whose Diet Was Grass and Hay. Is Dead. Kokomo, Ind., June 24.—Dr. Edward Stanton, a character of this place for sixty years, died aged 80 years.

He walked on all fours in the pasture of the county farm, grazing constantly with the cattle, horses and sheep. It is thought poisonous herbs killed him. TO PASS RELIEF MEASURES Kansas Legislature Meets to Act on the Flood. Topeka, Kan., June 24.—The special session of the Legislature called by Gov. William J. Bailey, to enact a flood relief measure, convened this afternoon. The principal subject of contention will be whether a general relief bill or local bills shall be passed. It also is considered certain, from expressions of advance members here, that a charity bill of some nature will be passed. EX-CONVICT STANDS OFF POSSE William Herrell Defies Marshals, Police Citizens and Fifty Farmers Logansport, Ind., June 24.—William Herrell, an ex-convict, has successfully stood off for thirty-six hours the marshals and police of two villages and a posse of fifty farmers.

Norwegian Lutheran Church Receives Bequest of Property Valued at $50,000. Duluth, Minn., June 23.—[Special.]—At the annual convention of the United Norwegian Lutheran Church of America that body received a gift of property valued at $50,000. A message was read announcing that the venerable and beloved Rev. E. J. Homme had died at his home at Wittenberg yesterday, and Rev. A. L. Dahl, one of the clergymen who was called to Rev. Homme's home last Thursday and who had returned to the convention, arose and read a will of his deceased friend which was signed by the late Rev. Homme Friday evening. In his will the departed pastor bequeathed his beautiful and commodious new orphans' home and also his home for the aged, together with 120 acres of land adjoining Wittenberg, to the United church. There is a debt of only $3000 on the entire property, while there are legacies in connection with it which will more than cover this indebtedness. The only stipulation is that those institutions should be continued as Lutheran institutions. This is the third gift which this body has received within the last three days and which together aggregate in value over $100,000. A large delegation of clergymen will attend the funeral on Friday. Rev. I. M. Dahl of Lake Mills, Ia., was appointed as the official representative of the United Norwegian Lutheran Church of America at that occasion. There were at least 2000 persons present at the ordination services which were held yesterday, when fifteen candidates who had received their degrees at the United Lutheran Theological seminary at Minneapolis were ordained to the holy ministry. Every seat in the large assembly hall was taken and many were standing. In addition to this services were also conducted at the same hour by representatives of the convention in the two largest churches of this city, and these were also well attended. A resolution was introduced at yesterday's session to the effect that the church stood ready to unite with any other Norwegian Lutheran synod in the country and would consent to any meeting for that purpose which might be asked. A discussion followed, which had not been completed when the session closed. It will probably pass today. ARRIVES AT KIEL. The United States European Squadron Is Greeted by Prince Henry's Fleet Kiel, June 23.—The United States European squadron, Rear Admiral Cotton in command, reached its anchorage opposite the yacht clubhouse at noon today. The fleet, commanded by Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia, consisting of eight battleships and six cruisers, saluted the American vessels and the band of the German flagship played "America." Some hundreds of the town's people gathered on the piers and slopes of the narrow bay and gave detached, irregular cheers as the squadron arrived. Prince Henry sent his navigating officers and the captain of the port down the bay early in the morning to meet the Americans. The flagship Kearsarge swung into her mooring next to the Hohenzollern, followed by the San Francisco, Chicago and Machias, all the German ships being dressed in the visitors' honor and flying the Stars and Stripes. The commanders of the American ships then called on Prince Henry, who immediately returned their calls. The Stars and Stripes were also raised over the yacht club and on the hotels in the vicinity. Rear Admiral Cotton and Capt. Joseph M. Hemphall, commander of the Kearsarge, and all the other American commanders also called on the eight German admirals and vice admirals stationed in this, the greatest stronghold of German sea power, and afterwards received their return calls. Most of the afternoon was spent in calling and receiving calls. HEATH MAKES DENIAL. Says He Has Not Transferred His Property to His Relatives—Blames the Yellow Newspapers. Cincinnati, O., June 23.—Perry S. Heath, formerly assistant postmaster general, telegraphs The Times-Star from Salt Lake City as follows: There have recently been many brutal, malicious, vicious and wholly untrue statements published against me, but none of them have been quite so low and entirely false as the one that I had transferred my property at Muncey to my brother, or anyone. I have neither made nor contemplated any transfer of my property to anyone. Some years ago I transferred a small block of stock in the Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune to my nephew, and I presume that is the transaction which is now made the subject of another attack upon me by the yellow newspapers. PERRY S. HEATH. SALE IN FINLAND OF GUNS RESTRICTED. New Edict Sanctioned by Czar Places Severe Penalties on Unauthorized Traffic—Disarmament of Finns. St. Petersburg, June 23.—A new edict, sanctioned by the Czar, prohibiting the sale in Finland of guns, ammunition or explosives of any sort, except under the most severe restriction has been issued.

A Dozen Fires in Ten Days Indicate a Firebug Munising, Mich., June 23.—[Special.] During the past ten days about a dozen fires have broken out, supposed to be of incendiary origin. Real Crimes Decreasing. The number of crimes increases necessarily as civilization advances because new laws are made constituting new crimes. While the number of violations of law increases, the number of atrocious crimes diminishes. The fact is that the increase in the criminal statistics is almost entirely in the newer and lighter offenses. Submarine Navigation.

He saved my life at Santiago, and I have had occasion to say so in many articles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth cavalry came rushing up the hill carrying everything before them. The Negro soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the Civil war he came 400,000 strong, and I believe he saved the Union."—President Roosevelt. The game of golf wears well, although it has been full of holes from the start. The "peek-a-boo" shirtwaist is again charged with being scandalously cool. King Peter of Servia has his throne. Now let him keep it—as long as he can. The German agriculturists were shown that Wisconsin comes pretty close to being the whole cheese. The fashionable hotels of London must be having a high time. They are reported to be getting full very fast. Now it is asserted that Servian politics will be run by a Maschin, and that King Peter will be a mere figurehead. The new King of Servia is a Karageorgevitch, but isn't it a mistake to call him "Black George?" Why not "Black Peter?" King Peter takes the Servian throne with thanks, and promises to keep it in repair. He will succeed if he makes it bullet proof. The shipyard trust seems to be wabbling as though it had put out on the sea of enterprise without sufficient financial ballast. The work to which Dr. Lorenz devotes his life is directly opposite to that of Carrie Nation, for Carrie makes trouble in the joints. Bob Fitzsimmons' engagement to marry is a revelation to future opponents that an attack on his heart will be most likely to bring results. Sir Thomas will come across the Atlantic with hopes as expansive as "bailooners," but the continued victories of the Reliance will of course send his eyes occasionally to the reef points. The assertion of Queen Draga's valet, that the assassins were drunk when they committed the butchery in the palace at Belgrade is the first clue to the line of defense: "Whisky did it." "Questionable Shapes" is the title of W. D. Howells' latest volume. Many are due to padding, but there is rarely padding in Mr. Howell's books. Servia is a small country, but even the people of small countries can stir the world with excitement of they use revolvers in the palaces of the rulers. The big cup defense sloops are having so much disappointment in trying to race in accordance with schedules, that when they do get away their impatience ought to make them extremely lively. King Peter has a royal cipher, copies of which were recently distributed among the Servian regiments. But why should the King's soldiers want copies of a royal cipher when they have him? Demand for regulation of the speed of automobiles is becoming general. The motor vehicles are increasing in number very rapidly, and chauffeurs are tempted to "let them out" in bursts of speed such as would bring up horsemen for discipline in the courts. --- It used to be the regular thing, when flagrant cases of jerry building occurred in this country, to remark, "They manage these matters better in Europe." But in Warsaw, Poland, on Monday of last week a structure containing flats collapsed, and forty persons were killed. Chicago's new population claim, based on the city directory canvass, is 1,942,500, a gain of 243,925, or very nearly a quarter of a million, since the census of 1900. That the present claim falls short of 2,000,000 must be attributed, of course, to the disinclination of Chicagoans to draw the long bow. --- By Rev. J. R. Duryee He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life, but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.—John iii., 36. These are precious, and, at the same time, awful words. They come with the sanction of divine authority and echo the voices of the prophets. They were spoken by John, the herald of Jesus, the Messiah, who confirmed them by his teaching; and their truth is proven by human experience. Note the term. "Life" means the perfect possession of every power of human nature. This includes the will to use each power. To have a perfect body would be glorious, but none possesses it. When Socrates saw one that seemed complete he cried, "Jove, how beautiful!" We have his enthusiasm. More splendid is the life of the spirit in man, and it is to this these words refer. Each of us knows some one who possesses in rare degree this life; such interpret to us the divine; we instinctively feel they are of God. "On God and Godlike men we build our trust." But even these have their faults; only one has ever lived on earth perfect in all things. Imperfection, unless righted, tends to death. We cannot stand still; we fight against the downward tendency, seeking help from such as we think can help us grow better. So we tie ourselves to the physician, the teacher, the friend. Is it not true that the best wish of your best moments is that you may become better? And we have all found that, beyond a certain point, there is no help in man. Once there came unto our world a perfect man, "the Son of God, with power." He gave himself to the work of redeeming men from death to life, and, through his spirit, he is a constant savior. "He that believeth in the Son hath everlasting life." "Believeth." It means more than assent to the statement of the gospel. Faith is willing self-surrender to God. Only thus can his vitality impart itself to us. This is possible for every one. They are self-deceived who think otherwise. All about us are those as ignorant, weak, and hard pressed as you are who, because they open heart and mind to him, are growing better. Are not they who refuse to do this fools and blind? The condition for every one is obedience. It is so in all relationships. To effect a cure the physician must be obeyed, the teacher must be followed, the friend honored, and if the Redeemer is to save from death to life our part is to honor, follow and obey. And now, note the alternative: "He that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." Perhaps you persuade yourself that this is a visionary statement and are indifferent to it. Remember there is relationship between you and God. He is your "heavenly father." God cannot be indifferent to you. You are and always will be his child. It is the worst blunder one can make to think that God is careless about him. Do the words, "the wrath of God," seem cruel words? Nevertheless, our human relationships explain them. We are more than inhabitants; we are citizens of New York, having certain inherent rights and obligations. Its laws are the measure of these. If I choose to go contrary to these rules of conduct and commit a crime the wrath of the city, the penalty of infringement of law, is incurred. The convicted criminal is still a part of New York. The same conditions hold in the family life. Does it seem strange that the divine government is illustrated by these analogies? Remember the laws of God are not arbitrary; they are essential to life. Still the problem faces us, how can the God of love ever be wrathful toward his child? Well, doubtedly the Bible proclaims this, and so does nature. She works by law, and to the obedient is beneficial. Electricity carries your message and moves your cars, but disobey her and she kills you. This is the meaning of applied science. And in the moral world the same principle holds. It is thus in friendship; refuse to love and honor your friend and how her life rebukes you. By and by you hate the goodness which you will not imitate. Judas was cursed by the same friendship that ennobled John. A great teacher said: "Men are ruined by their best and dearest friends, not by their indulgent fondness, but by the noble example that is never followed and the noble invitation that is never answered." Experience has taught some of us that this is true. I desire above all else to make known God's love. It is a reality, it is the one power that can meet every need of man, and can lift up stained, broken lives into strength, and beauty, and perfectness. I have tried to do this to-day. Only you must face the facts of life and know the truth. God does care for you. He has given you power, scope, above all his spirit, that you may become perfect. Identify your life with that of the Son, love him, learn of him, follow him, and you shall become like him. There are only three steps from earth to heaven—acts, habits, character. These same steps may lead downward to death Which is your chosen way? Let this truth possess you. Let it make you brave, hopeful, serious. Be men of God, living in his service, happy in his love, and you shall master any situation; you shall know life, indeed. Amen. SINNING AGAINST CHILDREN. By Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, D.D. One of the most needed and one of the most useful of modern benevolent organizations is the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Its object is to protect the victims of parental brutalities or of cruel neglect. Its sphere of action is chiefly among the degraded classes. But there is many a well-fed child in a well-furnished home that is suffering badly from bad management or parental ignorance or false views of parental duty. An immense number of fathers and mothers need to have the solemn caution which Reuben gave to his churlish brothers: "Do not sin against the child." There is no trust in this world more tremendous than the trust of parentage, and none which many persons seem to treat more lightly. Food, clothing, shelter and schooling they provide, but they utterly ignore the fact that the Creator has intrusted to them the most susceptible and receptive creature on earth when he commits to their charge a young immortal. A parent stamps character, and shapes destiny for this world—often for the next. In geological museums you may see some slabs which show the prints of birds' feet or of leaves which were made in the stone when it was once only a liquid pumice. In like manner we can detect the fingermarks and footprints of parental influence upon the character of children when grown to manhood and womanhood. And they are not very ornamental, either. Children are imitative creatures, and we all know how tendencies to good or evil character spring from parental influence, and the chief element in modern heredity is the force of example. There is a monotonous uniformity in the history of certain Jewish kings. Each one of them "walked in the ways of his father who caused Israel to sin." That word "ways" is very significant. The father made the path and the son walked in it. Just as true is this now as in those olden times. The most difficult cases to reform in inebriate asylums are the victims of hereditary drunkenness. Often when I see a young man bringing disgrace on himself I think "that youth was as much sinned against as sinning." He is walking in the path in which his parents placed him. Thorn bushes never yield grapes, and figs do not grow from thistles. The word "iniquity" signifies something twisted, and the ugly twist is too often given by a father's or a mother's hand. The wrong which the child does is the natural sequence of the wrong done to him by her, by an evil example. By and by comes the retribution when the child once sinned against wrings the parental heart with agony. When you sin against your child you may be pretty sure "that your sin will find you out." What a piece of open soil to sow teachings in is a young mind! Words uttered by parents sprout. A sneer against the Bible spoken at the table or by the fireside lodges in a boy's memory and helps to make him a sceptic. A great deal of the foolish and cavilling criticism of sermons, in which parents willfully or carelessly indulge when they come home from church, kills the influence of God's message. This may amount to a sin against the Holy Spirit, who inspired the message, and who may be silently working on the mind of some child in that family. The question of how much actual good the best sermon may do is commonly settled on the day of its delivery. Parents often help to settle it. In most cases religious errors are hereditary. Dishonest practices also descend from father to son. Bad books in a parent's hands are very apt to be read by the younger members of the family. And when a father takes his son and daughter to the average theater, the lad is in danger of having passion inflamed by the indecencies of the stage, and the daughter's purity is soiled by the lewd display or the immoral innuendoes. It is bad enough to smutch your own soul, I entreat you, don't sin against your child! Many a father studies his account books and many a mother studies her magazines or receipt books or her visiting lists more than either study the peculiarities of her own children. That boy is scolded into sullenness; that other one is ridiculed until he gets desperate; harsh treatment often hardens the heart, and then Pharisaism prays that God will soften it! There is a steady decline in the percentage of conversions reported in the annual statistics of several denominations. How much of this is to be attributed to a decline in home religion God only knoweth. The family underlies both commonwealth and church. All the preaching power of the pulpit will avail but little as long as parents are sinning against their own children. Mission in Life.—The mission of the preacher is the mission of a man. The mission of the church is the same as that of the public schools. The true aim of each is to lift humanity Godward and heavenward.—Rev. Bruce Brown, Disciple, Chicago, Ill. Abraham Lincoln, one of the noblest men in American history, said that he owed his success in life largely to his total abstinence principles and practices. Though he was born and brought up in a backwoods drinking settlement, he was early taught these principles by a wise mother. So far as we know he was always true to them, through chopping trees, river boating, town meetings and political caucuses. No matter how freely liquor flowed, he never yielded to the temptation. When State Senator in Springfield, Ill., he went with the Legislature to Chicago. While there the majority drank and caroused, and went back stupidly drunk. At every station where the train stopped crowds were gathered calling for "speeches." and Mr. Lincoln had the grand opportunity all to himself. He gave impromptu lectures all the way down and when opportunity presented he practiced what he preached, take for example that instance when the committee from the convention which nominated him for the Presidency brought him the news they wished to celebrate the occasion by a "treat." He quietly sent the liquor out, and instructed the house maid to bring in water instead. When George Stephenson was but fifteen he was fireman to a little stationary engine in one of the coal mines of England. Once a fortnight his companions left their work and went on a "spree." It was of no use to run the engine in their absence, but he stayed by it and studied it. When the weekly class night came around, while his companions went to the "public," he washed up and went to the little Wesleyan chapel, where he found better company. After some years his studies on his engine when his companions were on a drunk enabled him to produce a new thing—a railway locomotive; for this same George Stephenson was the originator of modern railroad locomotion. In the prime of life he spoke before parliamentary committees, and was a welcome guest at the tables of kings, and he attributed his successes to his adherence to abstinence principles. Editor Bok, of The Ladies Home Journal, says, "No young man will ever find that the principle of total abstinence from liquor is a barrier to any success—social, commercial, or otherwise. It is the one principle in his life which will in the long run help him more than any other." The Saloon Indicted. John Wesley said that the liquor traffic in his day was driving men to hell like sheep. Were he living now he could say that the saloon is driving hell into men like fury. It is the one school of violence and crime that never takes a vacation or recess and never limits the depth of degradation to which it plunges its graduates. In Michigan there are about 8,000 saloons, breweries, dancing halls and other places where grog is sold. In the United States there are perhaps 250,000 such places. Within a few years the American saloon has directly murdered or assaulted ten or twelve ministers of the gospel, a dozen editors or reporters, several officers of the law, an unnumbered list of private citizens, and it has burned or blown up by dynamite a large number of churches, public buildings and private residences. Yet saloon-keepers express wonder why we do not let the saloon alone! How can we let alone such a breeder of violence, such a refuge for criminals, such a corrupter of youth, such a manipulator of low politics, such a deterrent to social progress, such a hindrance to the church, such a despoiler of manhood, such a brutal foe to womanhood, such an enemy to righteousness and such a headquarters for all that is hurtful and detestable in moral and private life? How can we let alone the arch foe of all that is most dear to us?—Michigan Christian Advocate. Advertising Temperance. Advertising Temperance. The Methodist Ministerial Association of Williamsport, Pa., has posted cards bearing Scripture texts on the liquor question, in the street cars of that city. In one of the cars, fitted in between two hotel advertisements, is a card bearing the words, "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." In the same car are the advertisements of three hotels and three kinds of beer and whisky, with another kind of beer advertised outside. In another car are the words, "Wine—at last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder." In this car were the advertisements of five hotels and brands of whisky and beer. In still another was the warning, "Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that puttest the bottle to him, and maketh him drunk also." In this car were five advertisements of the drink referred to. Saloonist Ruined Her Husband. "Both Sides," a liquor organ, notes with alarm that a Chicago jury lately assessed damages of $2,300 against a saloon keeper for selling intoxicants to the husband of Mrs. Frances Huly, causing him to lose his position and to become so unbearable she was obliged to get a divorce from him. It warns saloon keepers that they are in danger, and that they must be more careful to whom they sell.

He cum ter us a-canvassin', an' ma, she tumbled quick, He looked so sorter Frenchy-like an' talked so glib an' slick. She bought o' him sum Paris paints, an' hedn't worked a week Afore she got ter talkin' bout "feelin'" an' "teckneek." An' she brought us hum a picter, as I guess they allus does— Her "masterpiece," she called it, an' I callerlate it wuz. I dunno what the subjec' wuz, it didn't hev no name, But'twas 'bout one-quarter picter an' the other three wuz fame. An' we hung it in the settin' room, conspicuous to all Admirin' acquaintances who happened in ter call.

OUR VALUABLE FORESTS AND THE INDUSTRIES TO WHICH THEY GIVE RISE. OUR VALUABLE FORESTS AND THE INDUSTRIES TO WHICH THEY GIVE RISE. NEXT to agriculture the forest industries stand in the order of importance to the people of the United States. The list of these industries, given by Ernest Bruncken in North American Forests and Forestry, is too long to transcribe in full, but a few of the forest products may be mentioned: Fencing material of all kinds, telegraph poles, long logs for piles under the foundations of buildings, railroad ties, hop poles, bean poles, Christmas trees. These and various other products of the woods have the peculiarity that even in this age of machinery they are chiefly supplied by the labor of individuals armed simply with ax and hand-saw. Charcoal-making is a forest industry which employs not a little capital and a great many workmen. The making of wood alcohol and other products of dry distillation is an increasing business. The ancient industry of making pitch and the like is flourishing in many parts of the Southern pine regions, as is the making of turpentine, which is produced mostly from the long-leaved pine of the South. Modern industrial civilization has added a number of entirely new forms of utilizing forest products. One of these is the making of excelsior, the narrow strips of shavings which everybody now knows as a packing material. The making of boxes of all kinds has opened a market for many kinds of wood, such as poplar, which was formerly considered quite worthless. The most astonishing case of the rise of a new industry is the making of wood pulp for paper, which was quite in its infancy twenty years ago, but now produces goods of the value of more than a hundred million dollars annually. A very important product of forest industry is bark for tanning purposes. By far the most important tree of this kind in North America is the hemlock. The hemlock industry furnishes a striking illustration of how the American forests have been drawn into the circle of the world's commerce. One of the centers of tan-bark production is the eastern portion of central and northern Wisconsin. Within a few years large tanneries have been set up in the very midst of the forest, and raw hides are brought there from Argentina to be treated with the bark of the trees growing near by. The most primitive of all forest industries still remains one of the most important of all. That is the cutting and consumption of fire-wood. For instance, the management of the celebrated Biltmore forest in North Carolina has, during recent years, made enough out of the sale of fire-wood to pay the considerable expense of managing that property according to sylvicultural methods. Glacial Age Nears Its End. European engineers have been congratulating themselves that, although the coal mines may fail, they have in the Alpine glaciers inexhaustible sources of energy. The melting of the glacier ice gives rise to mountain torrents whose fall is being utilized more and more, especially since the electric transmission of power has more nearly approached perfection. The glacier is thus a mine of stored energy and its ice has been somewhat poetically termed "white coal." But if the researches of some recent French and German scientific men are to be relied on the glaciers may fail us some day as well as the coal mines. It appears that the glaciers, not only of the Alps, but also of other continental mountain ranges, are shrinking, in some cases imperceptibly, and in others almost visibly. Of course this may be only one swing of the pendulum and continued observation may show that it will be followed in future years by a proportionate increase, so it may be as well not to indulge in too dismal foreboding.—Success.

Ranks of the Union Leaders Thinning Interesting Anecdotes Recalled by General "Baldy" Smith's Death Conspicuous in the Great Struggle. In this country we have no more forcible reminder of the fact that we are entering upon a new era in our national history than the bulletins which announce from day to day the death of the men who figured prominently in the command of our army during the civil war. The three chief commanders long since passed away, and since their deaths the ranks of the men who actively upheld the Union have been thinning with steadily increasing rapidity. The deaths of General Benjamin F. Butler, General Franklin and General William Farrar Smith removes among the last of the men who inaugurated and conducted separate campaigns. There are now living but fourteen major generals who held that rank during the civil war, and of these only one or two ever commanded independent divisions or corps. As these figures pass from the scene of present day affairs many contrasts between the way in which they met and solved the problems of their day, and the methods followed at the present time are presented. Much of the picturesqueness of civil war times has disappeared in our ordinary life, and this is even truer in the case of our military and naval establishments. For instance, in connection with the death of General Smith, "Baldy" Smith he was always called by his intimates, it will be pleasant to recall as a key to the man's character the courage and resourcefulness with he conducted his campaign with the Army of the Potomac in the action leading up to the attack on Richmond. No more picturesque incident stands out from the history of the civil war. Smith's command was a "movable column," consisting of 16,000 infantry, sixteen pieces of artillery and a squadron of cavalry, and he was ordered to join the Army of the Potomac. On June 1 he took up a position near Cold Spring Harbor, engaged the enemy for nine days, and on the fourteenth retired to Bermuda Hundred. The next day he was ordered to attack Petersburg, and that night moved forward, meeting the enemy early next morning. Some rifle pits were captured, and Smith formed lines in front of the fortifications of Petersburg. Acting as His Own Scout. Acting as His Own Scout. The enemy's artillery was strong and well served, and Smith could not bring up his own guns. He had no engineer officer to make a reconnoissance of the enemy's line to discover its weak points, and so "Baldy" Smith became his own scout, crawling on his hands and knees for two hours. He coaxed his men forward, in small bodies, gradually getting his guns into position, and in this way they fought until 7 o'clock in the evening, when a general assault was ordered. Two hours later the principal fortifications to the key of the confederacy were taken.. Smith lost 750 men in round numbers, 500 of whom were negroes. He took sixteen guns, six being captured by the black troops, who fought gallantly. Hancock's troops had been ordered to operate with Smith at this battle, but the instructions were defective and the corps was delayed. Smith always believed that the defective instructions were given to embarrass him. Of General Smith General Grant once said: "Smith, while a very able officer, is obstinate, and is likely to condemn whatever is not suggested by himself." He was not averse to criticising his superiors in command, and this fact did not add to his popularity in certain quarters. He was a fighter, not a diplomat, and as a result his career during the war was a stormy one. It was in the Virginia peninsular campaign that his real active service began, and out of which there arose the famous controversy which was ended but three years ago. After the battle of Chickamauga, on September 21, 1863, General Rosecrans drew up his army near the southern side of Chattanooga, Tenn. The railroad connecting Chattanooga with Bridgeport, which formed the then only available base of supplies from the north, left the city, crossed Chattanooga creek near its mouth, followed the river closely to the north end of Lookout Mountain, passed through a tunnel and then debouched into the northern end of Lookout valley. All passes in the mountain were abandoned, for the Union line was behind Chattanooga creek and Lookout valley. Around Chattanooga. General Rosencrans, in command at Chattanooga, was in a dangerous position, and the condition of his army, shut off as it was from its base, was described by General Grant in his Memoirs as follows: "This country afforded but little food for his (Rosecrans') animals, nearly 10,000 of which had already starved, and not enough were left to draw a single piece of artillery, or even ambulances to convey the sick. The men had been on half rations of hard bread for a considerable time, with but few other supplies except beef from Nashville, across the country. The region along the road became so exhausted of food for cattle that by the time they reached Chattanooga they were much in the condition of the few animals left alive there. Indeed, the beef was so poor that the soldiers were in the habit of saying with a faint facetiousness that they were living 'on half rations of hard bread and beef dried on the hoof.'" Grant arrived at Chattanooga on Oc- tober 28, and the next day General Smith, who was then chief engineer of the Army of the Cumberland, with the commander in chief reconnoitered the position which the former said he had discovered at the mouth of Lookout valley. General Smith's plan was to surprise the enemy, seize the hills south of the Tennessee river at Brown's Ferry, build a pontoon bridge, recover the lines of communication and gain control of the river. General Grant gave his sanction and deputed "Baldy" Smith to command the forces which were to capture the heights and Lookout valley. The movement, carried out on October 27, was successful and the army relieved, which allowed General Sherman to reach Chattanooga, and made possible the victory of Missionary Ridge. Thanks were tendered to General Smith and his officers, and in general orders No. 265, issued on November 7, 1863, General Thomas, who had succeeded Rosecrans, said: "To Brigadier General W. F. Smith, chief engineer, should be accorded great praise for the ingenuity which conceived and the ability which executed the movement at Brown's Ferry. When the bridge was thrown at Brown's Ferry on the morning of the 27th the surprise was as great to the army within as to the army besieging it from without." Sto en Thunder. The enemy made no further attempt to gain Lookout valley. For more than thirty years the glory of this movement belonged to General Smith. A few years ago, however, the atlas of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Park Commission was issued, and in it was the legend which asserted "that at daylight of October 27 the river line of communication with Bridgeport was opened by execution of a plan for recovering Lookout valley, devised by General Rosecrans." "Baldy" Smith declared this was incorrect, and asked for an investigation. On August 23, 1900, a board of army officers met at Governor's Island, in New York harbor, to consider the matter. From the findings of the court it would appear that "Baldy" Smith had stolen General Rosecrans' thunder. Among other things, the report of the Board said: "The board failed to find evidence that Smith was the originator of plans for the relief of Chattanooga by military operations to be conducted on Lookout valley, but abundant evidence that the plan which contemplated crossings of the Tennessee river at Bridgeport and at the northern end of Lookout valley, and which was executed by General Thomas October 26-28, was devised and prepared by Rosecrans before relinquishing command, and that its execution was begun under orders issued by Thomas the very night (October 19) that Rosecrans was relieved from command of the Department of Cumberland, without consultation with Smith." It was brought out at the investigation that General Rosecrans in September, 1863, had issued orders to reoccupy Lookout valley by reinforcements from the north, which were to operate with troops from Chattanooga. The plans involved the crossing of the Tennessee river at Brown's Ferry by a bridge. Reinforcements under General Hooker arrived at Bridgeport on September 30, and Smith, reaching Chattanooga about the same time, was told of the contemplated movement. According to the testimony, Smith made no reconnoissance of the river until October 19, the day General Rosecrans was relieved, and the latter was really responsible for the details of the movement which Generals Smith and Hooker, directed by General Thomas, carried out.—New York Evening Post. Last Target in Civil War. The last man fired upon during the civil war lives in Huron, S. D. He is Maj. Fred F. B. Coffin, who has recently attracted attention as an author of several works on metaphysics. Major Coffin was in the last battle of the war, which occurred at Palmetto Ranch, Texas, on May 12 and 13, 1865. The Union forces were commanded by Gen. Theodore H. Barrett; the Confederate forces by Gen. J. E. Slaughter. On the night of May 11 Gen. Barrett sent Col. David Branson with the Sixty-second United States infantry and two companies of the First Texas cavalry to destroy a Confederate outpost and camp at Palmetto Ranch. The camp was captured and destroyed. About 4 o'clock on the morning of May 13 Gen. Barrett arrived with the Thirty-fourth Indiana infantry. An advance was made and the Confederates were driven about two miles beyond Palmetto Ranch. When the Union troops arrived there Gen. Barrett ordered Major Fred F. B. Coffin, then a captain, to take command of the skirmishers. In a short time Capt. Carrington rode up to the west end of the grade with a detachment of Confederate cavalry and opened fire. He soon ordered a retreat. As the Confederates were leaving one cavalryman wheeled his horse around, dismounted, took deliberate aim, and fired at Major Coffin. The ball struck in the sand about six feet in front of him. This was at sundown on May 13, 1865. The following morning an order was received to the effect that Gen. Dick Taylor and Gen. Kirby Smith had surrendered to Gen. Sheridan, which incident closed the war.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Louis XVIII. spent most of the years of his exile in England. He took a house in London, where he lived quietly, and, it is said, was much more concerned with the quality of his dinner than the nature of the news from the war that was waged for his reinstatement on the throne of France.

How much horse meat is consumed in Paris each year is told in a report just published by the state department from United States Consul Thornwell Hayes at Rouen. He says: "It is stated at the Villejuit abattoirs that 23,000 horses are killed annually and at Pantim 7500, making a total of 30,500. Of this number 10,500 are consumed in the environs of Paris, leaving a consumption of 20,000 in the city itself. The average weight of each horse is said to be 551.15 pounds. "There is a total consumption of 7, 178,176 pounds annually." A Cure for Dropsy. Sedgwick, Ark., June 22.—Mr. W. S. Taylor of this place says: "My little boy had Dropsy.

His feet and limbs were swollen so that he could not walk nor put on his shoes. "When the doctors told me he would surely die, I stopped giving him their medicine and began giving him Dodd's Kidney Pills. I gave him three pills a day and at the end of eight days the swelling was all gone, but as I wanted to be sure, I kept on with the pills for sometime, gradually reducing the quantity, till finally I stopped altogether. "Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved my child's life. Before using them he was a helpless invalid in his mother's arms from morning till night. Now he is a healthy, happy child, running and dancing and singing. I can never express our gratitude. "Dodd's Kidney Pills entirely cured our boy after everybody, doctors and all had given him up to die." The Prairie Dog. The Cynomis ludovicianus is the long scientific name of the short prairie dog, which has been over large areas of the Western country, more of a nuisance than many people imagine. Until recently he spread over sixty-eight counties in Kansas, to say nothing of his occupancy elsewhere, damaging local crops to an extent not in keeping with his unobtrusive dimensions. All kinds of poisons were tried on him in vain till the recent discovery of a new one, its constituents not disclosed, which sweeps him off the earth, root and branch, so to speak, leaving of his hide and hair neither bark nor animation; a good riddance of this damaging marmot, which, with its companion in sin, the pocket gopher, has cost the western farmer no end of money by its ravages. Minister Jackson of Athens, under date of April 13, 1903, reports that the Roumanian Parliament has appropriated the sum of 500,000 francs ($96,500) for preliminary work connected with the building of a pipe line from Campina, in the petroleum district, to Constanza, the Roumanian Black sea port, crossing the Danube by the railway bridge at Czernavoda.

Selleg, a remarkable blind man, is dead at Newburgh, N. Y., aged 73. Although sightless from boyhood, he became a few years ago, by his own efforts, one of the foremost business men of Newburgh. He manufactured patent chairs of his own invention and employed many men. He also helped to develop a system of industrial education for the blind. Mme. M. L. Morreli, a professional trainer of wild animals, was torn nearly to pieces by a 6-year-old leopard while she was attempting to teach it tricks in one of the big cages of Bostock's animal show at Coney island. The great animal leaped on her back from above and before it could be driven off by Bostock and his assistants had torn and scratched the woman almost fatally. Maj. James H. Pond, manager of lecturers and singers, has had to have his right leg amputated to save his life. The operation was performed at his home in Jersey City. The patient, who is 65 years of age, withstood the shock well and the physicians believe the outcome will be favorable. Maj. Pond has been ill for a month. Two weeks ago a slight operation was found necessary for his feet. The wound failed to heal and amputation of the leg finally became necessary. Harry S. Lehr, when seen by a New York World correspondent regarding a report which appeared in some New York newspapers, said: "Deny the story. I am a gentleman and not a fool. I have no parrot which I propose to introduce to society. I want the press of New York to understand that it is my wish that my name shall never be mentioned. I was maligned last year in regard to the monkey story. Now a parrot is put up to me. I have neither monkeys nor parrots at my house." Marcellus Hartley Dodge, who inherited the immense estate of his grandfather, and has just been graduated from Columbia, will, it is stated, become a settlement worker. The report that he was settling his business affairs to take up a permanent residence at the Hartley house settlement on West Forty-fifth street has created much excitement among the workers in that line. The young millionaire makes no secret of his enthusiasm in the work of the Hartley settlement house. In order to satisfy himself of the value of the theories he studied at college, it is said that he will personally follow out the line of work directed there. Mrs. Nancy Rose, the oldest lighthouse keeper in the United States, is the heroine of a combat in the historic lighthouse at Stony Point, on the Hudson, in which she was pitted single-handed against a lunatic. Armed only with a poker, the woman, who is 75 years old and has attended the light half a century, bravely stood her ground and drove back her assailant. The man who made the attack is an Italian. He climbed into the tower and exclaiming that the light must be torn down, started to demolish things. Mrs. Rose seized a poker and belabored him over the head. He stood the rain of blows for a moment and then fled, locking the door as he went. The old lady sounded the fog bell and secured aid from the residents near by. The Italian was soon captured and locked up. "Tony" Aste, the king of New York bootblacks, attended the Rancho del Paso sale of yearlings at Sheepshead Bay and secured the star of the sale. A black colt by Watercress-Inquisitive was A century, ago the work of the modern surgeon would have been denounced by the theologians, who then ruled mankind, as audacious intrusions into the exclusive jurisdiction of God. Two centuries ago, or at the furthest, three, the man of science who would take out the viscera of a man, cut out their disease, and put them back, would have been fortunate to escape the stake or the block. But the audacious invader of the secrets of the body, the beneficent healer who, with his phial or his knife, lessens the miseries of humanity, diminishes or destroys pain, prolongs life and smooths its pathway to the grave—this is now the man who appeals most strongly to his fellow beings. For him and his training the captains of industry are pouring out their millions, building him colleges and laboratories, endowing professorships, while the world at large hails him as the man of power and influence at a time when wealth is accumulating and when men are not decaying. More and more, very likely, we shall see the strong men of the college classes choosing medicine, although the time has not yet come for domination over the lawyer, who is now engaged in settling the direction and the form in which the captains of industry shall carry on their development of the world's wealth. The time seems to be coming, however, when the indefinite prolongation of human life and the destruction of the enemies of human health—a work which almost suggests the creative power—will be the task that will call for and will receive the service of the best training of our colleges and universities—that is, when the appeal of medicine and surgery will be addressed inevitably to the best in every college class, just as once the call came from the ministry, and then from the bench and bar and Senate house.—Harper's Weekly. People in every walk of life have bad backs— kidneys go wrong and the back begins to ache. Cure sick kidneys and back a che quickly disappears. Read thistestimony and learn how it can be done: A. A. Boyce, a farmer, living three and a half miles from Trenton, Mo., says: "A severe cold settled in my kidneys and developed so quickly that I was obliged to lay off work on account of the aching in my back and sides. For a time I was unable to walk at all, and every makeshift I tried and all the medicine I took had not the slightest effect. My back continued to grow weaker until I was unfit for anything. Mrs. Boyce noticed Doan's Kidney Pills advertised as a sure cure for just such conditions and one day when in Trenton she brought a box home from Chas. A. Foster's drug store. I followed the directions carefully when taking them and I must say I was more than surprised and much more gratified to notice the backache disappearing gradually until it finally stopped."

When his will was opened it was found that his sole legatee was his old domestic, a Mme. Toselli. The relatives immediately began a contest, and this failing a nephew wrote a novel, called "The Canon's Heritage." This had the old servant as the principal character, and the story was published in the local paper. Several copies of the paper were sent to the woman, which exasperated her much, and when she saw the walls of the town covered with flaming posters advertising the novel she sought out the author in Nice anad shot him twice.

When Tony landed the prize the auctioneer said: "Mr. Aste, I hope you have another Nasturtium in this horse." It will be remembered that Aste sold this horse for $60,000. Aste is the Napoleon of the shining profession. He formerly manipulated the brush in the Equitable building, and now owns an extensive string of "parlors" all over the city. He has over 800 men in his employ, all Italians. He has been in this country only fourteen years, but in that time he has distanced ninety-nine and nineteenth of the natives in the race for wealth. The famous Nathan murder was recalled in the leasing of the old Nathan property at 12 West Twenty-third street for a term of twenty-one years, beginning in 1905, when the present lease held by the Adams Express company will expire. It is understood that the lessee intends to put up a new modern building. The building which now stands on the property is the one in which Benjamin Nathan, the banker, was found dead one morning in 1870 with his head beaten in. The murder was as famous as any that ever occurred in this city. Washington Nathan, one of the sons, was arrested for it, but was not convicted, and although John Irving, a bank burglar, three years afterward confessed to having killed the old man many people thought it was only to win immunity from another crime, as he never produced corroborative evidence and did not clear up the murder case. For three years after the murder no one could be induced to lease the house. Many persons regarded it as haunted. Finally, in despair of leasing it as a dwelling, the front was torn out and ar iron front substituted. Intense excitement prevails in Little Italy over an alleged miracle performed at the shrine St. Calogero di Sciacca. For hours after the report went out cripples of every description hurried to the Broome street corner where the altar had been erected. Finally a parade was organized in which all the devotees in that quarter marched. It was the first time that the birthday of the saint had been celebrated in this country, and the zeal of the worshipers was excessive. Men, women and children kneeled before the altar on the sidewalk or in the middle of the street, and many were crushed in their effort to get close to the altar. On the altar is an image of the saint in porcelain in the act of healing a child. The story of the miracle here was that a child, lame since birth, had been cured while the parents were praying on the sidewalk. The report spread rapidly with the above result. Women who wish to be entirely up to date in the matter of shoes have adopted red-painted heels, and this style has made its way to the summer resorts near New York as a companion of the latticed waist and the balloon cuff for the sleeves. The heels seen at these resorts are two inches in height and taper to a point at the bottom. The back of the heel is usually a deep red, but a young lady popular at the race tracks has improved upon the vogue, or fad, by wearing high heels painted in red, white and blue, thus adding a suggestion of patriotism to her foot costume. Fancy colored stockings, usually of light shade with small dots, add to the attractiveness of the picture as the young lady displays a finely turned ankle upon getting in and out of her private coach. The new heel has been appropriately christened the "Old Glory" heel and is likely to meet with much favor this season on the beaches near the cit,. Dr. Isaac N. Love died suddenly in the main cabin of the steamship Aurania as the vessel was swinging in to the pier in North river after an ocean trip. Dr. Love left New York for Europe a month ago to escort Mrs. George Law to Paris after an operation for appendicitis and was hurrying back to take up his practice and the editorship of The Medical Mirror again. After the Aurania has passed quarantine the passengers met in the main cabin to pass some complimentary resolutions about Capt. Potter. Dr. Love rose to speak in favor of these resolutions, and fell back in his chair unconscious. He died ten minutes later. Dr. Love leaves a widow, a daughter and a son. He was born fifty-five years ago in Barry, Ill., and got his degree from the old St. Louis Medical college in 1872. Only a few hours before his death he had remarked that he expected to live to be 100 years old. Rumor is placing Finley Peter Dunne at the helm of the New York Morning Telegraph as managing editor. This will be no new work for Mr. Dunne, as it was he who lifted the Chicago Evening Journal out of the slough of bankruptcy and placed it upon a paying basis after three months' management. It is not generally known that in addition to the "Dooley" papers Mr. Dunne has also contributed the pithy editorials in Colliers Weekly for some time. He is now a fixed star in the Harper galaxy. Mr. Dunne's first experience as managing editor was had with the Chicago Evening Post in that period of Chicago's growth when literary excellence was not appreciated. The Post blushed unseen for a few weary months and then suspended. It is told of Mr. Dunne that, one afternoon hearing the strains of a funeral march in the streets below the office, he called an associate to the window to view the cortege. After contemplating the process for some time he pensively inquired: "I wonder if that's our subscriber?" Dwellers in the Ice. The Etahyans, or "Arctic Highlanders" of Ross, live in ice caves within the vast glacier cap which covers all northern Greenland. Theirs is, perhaps, the most wretched and isolated existence it is possible to conceive. Their "dwellings" are always wet, owing to the melting of the ice walls and floor. For full six months of the year the darkness of the Arctic night envelops them. The ice is around them, beneath them, above them. In nine cases out of ten if they venture abroad they breathe the frozen particles, and the sensation is akin to that which comes from inhaling the blast of a furnace. Nevertheless, they refuse to move further south with the approach of winter, as do all the other Eskimo tribes. They take a sort of perverted pride in their loneliness as in their misery. "What matter," they say, "if we are cold and hungry? We are the last of all peoples. We dwell literally at the end of the world. To the north of us there is snow, there is ice; but there is no land, and there is nothing that lives, breathes or has independent movement."—Pearson's Weekly. The "Millionaire Malady." Men who have sacrificed youth and health, scrimped their families and injured their digestions in the acquirement of a "pile" often think they are public benefactors, and that humanity in general owes them a debt of gratitude for being so rich. In consequence they resent as a cruel injustice the fatigue, chagrin and newspaper notoriety that money invariably brings in its trail.

PEACOCK & SON Funeral Directors AND EMBALMERS 431 Broadway. MILWAUKEE, WIS ELK EXPRESS CO. A Mechanical Milker. The latest milking machine is here pictured in outline. It requires an engine or other power to drive it in order to work the vacuum air pump located at some convenient point. From this a line of iron gas pipe is run above the stalls in the milking shed. This pipe is used only to exhaust the air in the milk buckets. No liquid passes through it. A small branch pipe terminating in a hook is fitted to the main pipe and hangs over the stall about two feet above the cow's back. The bucket is shown in the figure and is air tight, the top being closed S with a lid, clamped securely in place by simply raising the handle to lift the bucket. All that is needed to make connection is the mere hanging of the bucket on the pipe above the cow by a hook attached to the milk pail for that purpose, as shown in the cut. This is an ordinary pail with a tight lid and glass peepholes down the sides so that the milk can be seen. A rubber tube runs to the cups attached to the cow's teats. Between the cups is a valve and chamber about the size of a hen's egg which really constitutes the effective part of the machine. The machine is set to work by a simple turn of the valve and the suction holds it in place until the milking is finished. It requires from two and one-half to ten minutes to milk a cow. With proper equipment one man can readily handle fifty.—Orange Judd Farmer. Science and Farming. If you tell the average Missouri farmer that he ought to use a little more science in his business he will reply that the advocates of scientific methods are mere theorists; that they do very well in their way, but they can't teach a practical agriculturist anything in his line. Robert H. Kern, a St. Louis lawyer, has lately given the conservative farmers of Macon County a lesson in scientific agriculture that has opened their eyes. In settling an estate he came into possession of some almost worthless city property. This he traded for some land in Macon County which seemed almost equally valueless. The larger part of it was under water most of the time, and a good crop never had been raised on it. Mr. Kern called in an engineer and had him make plans for a drainage system. Then he called in a farmer who understood the science of agriculture and put him to work. The land was drained perfectly, a bog became a fine meadow, and where a swamp had been from time immemorial a bumper corn crop was raised. Now that farm, which, when Mr. Kern got it, would hardly have brought $5 per acre, is worth $50 per acre. Ten thousand dollars' worth of corn was raised on it last year. It is said half the dwellers in the Charlton bottoms are now talking about hiring scientific engineers as farm hands.—Kansas City Journal. Profit in Summer Eggs. It is well understood that the eggs laid during the winter are, to a certain extent at least, a forced production. This being the case, it is hardly fair to expect that the fowl who has turned out a goodly supply of eggs during the winter can keep it up during the summer. It is questionable if it would be advisable to force the winter laying fowl to continue during the summer. If the bird is to be counted as among the layers the following winter she should be allowed the period of rest during most of the summer; that is, she should not be fed so as to force egg production, but her food should be sufficiently liberal and sufficiently varied to keep her in good shape to go into winter quarters prepared to lay. The poultryman who has not received from his fowls the number of eggs he should have had during the winter ought to make an effort to get even during the summer, the natural season for the hen to lay. This cannot be done by simply turning the hens out on the range, for they must be grain-fed and properly cared for. Handle them as you would the fowls for winter egg production. It will not be expensive, for most of their living will be obtained on the range and, unless eggs are very low in price, you will receive enough from the supply to pay well for the extra food and care. Do You Know? Do you know that every cruelty indicted on an animal in killing or just before death poisons to a greater or less extent its meat? Do you know that every cruelty indicted upon a cow poisons to a greater or less extent its milk? Do you know that fish killed as soon as taken from the water by a blow on the back of the head will keep longer and be better than those permitted to die slowly? Do you know that birds destroy millions of bugs, mosquitoes and harmful insects, that without the birds we could not live on the earth, and that every little insect-eating bird you may kill and every egg you may take from its nest means one less bird to destroy insects?—Live Stock Journal. Feeding the Grass Crop. One of the most successful growers of hay in the country ascribed his success to the proper preparation of his fields in the beginning and the proper culture afterward, as well as the proper manuring at the time of seeding. During the two months preceding seeding the soil is plowed and harrowed so frequently that he claims it is gone over at least fifty times. This process makes fine all the vegetation that is available as plant food and lets in sunshine to the soil. Before seeding, stable manure is used in as large quantities as he can afford, but after seeding only bone, muriate of potash and nitrate of soda are used, and this is used on every crop; that is, he is not satisfied to let the fertilizer used in preparing the seed bed answer for all time, but prepares and applies the commercial fertilizers named each season or twice each season, if, as in his case, two crops are taken from the meadow each season. This sort of treatment is expensive, to an extent, but it pays to apply it in any section where the hay crop is a paying one. For Leveling the Soil. This land leveler is a tool that will pay for itself many times over and ought to be found on every farm. The illustration shows clearly how it is made. A heavy plank eight or ten feet long and two feet wide, set on edge, is used for the leveler and the wings at the side keep it in an upright position at all times. These wings should be securely fastened by iron straps. Strips of strong board one and one-half inches thick by three inches wide are fastened at each upper corner of the plank and a small cross-piece at the end is provided with a ring, to which the team is hitched. A small iron rod from the center of cross-piece to the center of the top of the plank gives additional strength. A and A indicate large screw eyes, to which a light rope is attached to enable the driver to raise the leveler if need be and to enable him to turn corners eas- A LAND-LEVELING TOOL. ily. This leveler will be found to work perfectly on any soil that is not too heavy, and it will level the soil better and cheaper than in any other way. How to Feed Horses. Horses fed liberally, if not well exercised, will often get off their feed. The skill of the feeder must remedy this. Every one having the care of stock of any kind should bear in mind that all troubles of appetite and of the digestive organs are generally chargeable to the feeder rather than the animal. Regularity, a keen judgment and strict attention are the "medicine" the feeder of stock needs to administer. Care of the Garden. Just as soon as any crop of vegetables is finished in the garden, spade the location, and if any seeds are in the soil many of them will sprout. If so go over it again, which will save much valuable time and labor in the spring. Late summer and fall is the proper time to clean a garden, especially if weed seeds are to be eradicated. Farm Notes. To use more machinery and conveniences of every kind, or to cut down your acreage, appears the only remedy in sight for lack of farm help. Give the young pigs a low trough and a chance to feed separate from the sow. Add to ground oats or barley or wheat middlings some warm skim milk or water. There is no better egg-producing food than a combination of oats, bran, corn, green stuff and insects, with the average waste of the average kitchen or dairy, and you don't have to pay 5 cents per pound for any of these. In Denmark they have farmers' cooperative dairy associations of twelve farmers each, who for five years weigh the feed of each of their cows and also the milk, and thus make a record of the returns from each cow. String beans can be grown as long as the weather is warm. The practice of growing the earlier kinds alone is too general, for a ready sale awaits them whenever they reach the markets. Try some of the late varieties, and keep up a succession as long as the opportunity permits. On the thirty-seven acres of ground devoted to the live-stock department at the world's fair, at St. Louis, are being built 2,800 stalls. Two thousand four hundred of these are open stalls, 5x10 feet. The remaining 400 are box stalls, 10x10 feet. In addition four octagonal dairy barns will provide 140 open stalls and twenty-eight box stalls. HOUSEHOLD TALKS Peel twelve potatoes boiled in their skins and cut into small dice; the whites of three hard-boiled eggs; six very young onions chopped very fine; salt and pepper to taste. Make a dressing of two well-beaten eggs, a scant half-cup of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of sugar and butter the size of a walnut, boiling all together until thick. When cold thin with cream and stir well into the potatoes. Line a salad dish with lettuce leaves, pour into it the salad and garnish with the yolks of three hard-boiled eggs cut into slices and a few leaves of parsley. Ginger Pudding. Take six ounces of finely chopped suet, half a pound of flour, a teaspoonful of ground ginger, half a pound of treacle, a little grated lemon rind, half a pint of milk in which half a teaspoonful of carbonate of soda is dissolved, and one beaten egg. Mix all these ingredients into a light batter, pour into a greased mould and boil for two hours and a half. Tie on the cloth securely, as the pudding swells much in cooking. Serve with any nice sweet sauce. To Take Spots Out of Boards. Make some lye of wood ashes and mix it with a few galls, then put it on the spots the evening before you intend to clean them. In the morning rub the boards over with a brush. Let it be the way of the grain, and take some fine sand in the second scouring. When the boards have come to the right color and you can see the grain, wash in cold water and sand. Hot water will turn the best of boards or tables a bad color. Dinah's Corn Pone. Sift a teaspoonful of salt into a quart of southern cornmeal, add a tablespoonful of melted shortening and enough cold water to make a soft dough. Mold with the hands into thin, oblong cakes and make upon the griddle. turning once. Eat while hot, splitting, not cutting, the pone open to butter it. This bread must be made with genuine "water ground" cornmeal. Northern meal will not do. Stewed Cabbage and Celery; If one has on hand but little stewing celery—not enough for the family—a nice dish may be made by adding parboiled cabbage cut up into inch pieces and letting the cabbage cook about twenty-five minutes—not longer in the celery. It will be found that the cabbage will partake of the flavor of the celery. The dressing should be the same as for stewed celery. For Rice Pancakes. Boil some rice till perfectly cooked in water, then drain and set it in a clean saucepan with sufficient new milk to cover. Sweeten to taste, add half an ounce of dissolved butter for each pint of milk used. Add an egg also to each pint of milk. Beat in enough flour to make the mixture stiff enough to just form a batter. Fry till a golden brown on both sides. To Cure Damp Walls. Make a varnish of one part of shellac to two parts of naphtha and cover the damp part thoroughly with it. The varnish has a disagreeable smell, but it soon passes off, and the wall covered with a coating becomes perfectly impervious to damp. The wall may be papered, or treated in any way when once the varnish is dry. Canned Corn and Tomatoes. Canned Corn and Tomatoes. Boil the corn on the cob for twenty minutes and cut off while hot. Scald the skin from your tomatoes and rub to a pulp. To every one part of cut corn add two of tomatoes. Salt to taste, boil hard for a moment and can. Keep in a cool, dark place. Suggestions. When a window is difficult to open rub the sash cords with soft soap and the difficulty will cease. When polishing grates add a little powdered alum to the black lead and you will find it does its work better. Before polishing knives warm the board by the fire, for knives polish much better on a warm board than on a cold one. When cleaning windows don't forget to add a few drops of ammonia to the water. It will make your work easier and the effect will be better. Tarnished stair rods are easily cleaned. Wash them with soap and water and then polish with a slightly oiled cloth dusted over with finely powdered rotten stone. To remove shine from black cloth rub it with a piece of flannel dipped in turpentine. Put the garment out of doors afterward for a short time till the disagreeable odor has gone off. Never tolerate a dirty sink. To insure cleanliness dissolve a little soda every night in hot water and pour it down the sink. This will remove any grease, etc., which may adhere to the waste pipe and thus prevent its getting clogged. At housecleaning time to brighten tins and other cooking utensils put them all in the wash boiler and place on the fire with plenty of water and a liberal amount of washing soda. Let them boil for twenty minutes, remove the wash boiler from the fire, but do not take the tins out for three hours. At the end of that time they will be, when washed, bright and new looking.
