WISCONSIN WEEKLY The negro must work out his own problem. ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE VOLUME V. KELLER SPEAKS FOR THE NEGRO. Fastor of Pilgrim Church Denounces Treatment Both North and South. COLORED MAN TO PREACH. After Congratulating the Minister Attorney Green Accepts Invitation to Speak Later. Rev. L. H. Keller, D. D., pastor of Pilgrim Congregational church, preached a strong sermon last Sunday night on "The Rights of the Negro Under the Law of God and the Constitution of the United States." "We are in the midst of a strong reaction against the Negro race, which has been growing for several years," he said. "Four state have within the past few years followed the lead of Mississippi and have nullified the fifteenth amendment and disfranchised the Negro. "This has not been done because of moral fitness, nor lack of intelligence but because of color. The people of the north have accepted this without protest and too easily "The Negro asks not for pity but for justice. History has produced no greater documents than the Declaration of Independence and the fifteenth amendment. The best in human and divine law meet in these documents. Since Mississippi set both aside twelve years ago local government has been powerless and the mob has held full sway. About 100 Negroes are slaughtered every year without trial by law. With the Constitution in the dust we are ruled by the law of the jungle. Black men are everywhere respected but in the United States. "We are the most undemocratic of all civilized peoples." He smote the labor unions hip and thigh. "A colored man in a northern town given a trade by a self-sacrificing widowed mother walked into a shop and twenty white men walked out." "Labor unions that discriminate against colored men should be dissolved by law." At the conclusion of the sermon Rev. Keller was warmly congratulated by W. T. Green, the only colored man present. The reverend gentleman invited the colored lawyer to occupy his pulpit in defense of his race at any time he found it convenient. The invitation was accepted. The Advocate desires to express its hearty appreciation of the sermon and the firm stand taken by Mr. Keller as well as his compliment to the race by extending the invitation to its ablest representative in the city to speak in its behalf.

The Sunday school convention of St. Mark's church last week, June 25 and 26, was a great success. A great credit was due to Dr. Fenwick. Delegates represented three states. During the convention Bishop Lee was here. One of the most interesting things during the convention was Dr. Cary's speech on the race question. A banquet was served Wednesday evening in the lecture room in honor of presiding elders and delegates. The musical programme was of such character as had never been heard before. Mrs. James Gains presided at the organ. day evenings. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, JULY 2, 1903. jority. It is certain that he would unite all elements and command the support of the business men, which is the controlling influence and when united to the growing army of those dissatisfied with present methods will be found to be irresistible. Mr. Sercomb is a 33d degree Mason, an active exponent of the rights of the laboring man, and a true friend of the Negro race. Rev. Reginald Campbell, who succeeded the late Dr. Joseph Parker at the City temple, London, arrived on the steamer Campania.

Daniel Judson Holden, a member of the law firm of Curtis Brothers, is dead at his home at New York city. He was stricken very suddenly. Mr. Holden was a member of many leading clubs and an official of several large southwestern development companies. John B. Walsh, an actor, who began his stage career in 1857 with Thomas Hamblin and later played with Charlotte Cushman, John McCullough, Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett, died at the Actors' Fund home on Staten Island. He had been ill about ten years. Mrs. Henry Siegel, who was injured in a runaway accident at Mammaroneck, is reported to be recovering. A bag or jewels valued at $5000, which Mrs. Siegel lost at the time of the accident, was found, and has been restored to Mrs. Siegel, and the reward of $500 was paid.

Rockefeller, Jr., is leader, is going to branch out into athletics this summer. Mr. Rockefeller heartily favors securing an athletic field. He thinks there should be tennis, baseball, lounging rooms, boating and bathing. Officials of the elevated railroad companies are going to take the two cars numbered "13" out of service because of the difficulty encountered in securing crews to man them. The men are willing to take an occasional trip on the cars with the fatal number, but they object to having them for regular runs. Edith Wharton, the author wife of Edward R. Wharton of Lenox, received $122,500 for "Landsend," her summer residence at Newport, which she recently sold to Eleanor T. Beekman, wife of R. Livingston Beekman of New York. The consideration is regarded as indicating a rise in values in Newport real estate. IOWA FOR TARIFF REFORM. Platform Adopted by the Republican Convention. Schedules Should Prevent Foreign Control, Domestic Monopoly and In- Des Moines, Ia., July 2.—Gov. Cummins was renominated for governor and Senator Allison's tariff and trust platform was endorsed by the Republican state convention today. As a result both factions of the party are claiming the victory today. Gov. Cummins and his supporters say the tariff plank contains in substance all that is found in last year's plank, while the "stand-patters" are congratulating themselves upon the elimination of the "shelter to trusts" clause which attracted so much attention to the Iowa platforms of 1901 and 1902. The ticket named is as follows: The ticket named is as follows. Governor—A. B. Cummins of Des Moines. Lieutenant Governor—John Herritt of Stuart. Supreme Judge—Charles A. Bishop of Des Moines. Railroad Commissioner-David J. Palmer of Washington. Des Moines, Ia., July 1.—The utmost harmony prevailed in the Republican state convention which convened at 11 o'clock today in the Auditorium in this city with more than 1000 delegates present. State Chairman Spence called the convention to order. After the invocation George D. Perkins of Sioux City was presented as temporary chairman of the convention. Tariff Revision Necessary. Mr. Perkins' speech was in part as follows: It would be extremely unfortunate, as the lessons of experience give us warrant for believing, if sweeping and violent changes in our tariff system should be undertaken. The fact, however, is not for one moment to be lost sight of, that change is inevitable. Fossilization will not be tolerated. Dictation apart from consideration of the broad interests of national welfare will not be endured. "Where the industrial conditions J. B. SENATOR ALLISON. (Copyright 1900, by Parker, Wash.) so frequently change as with us, must of necessity be the case," said the President in his late tariff speech, "it is a matter of prime importance that we should be able from time to time to adapt our economic policy to changed conditions." That is what our platform in 1901 declared. That is what our platform in 1902 reaffirmed. The Republican party from the beginning of its history has given the policy of protection uniform interpretation. The object is, in association with raising revenue, to safeguard the industrial interests of our own people—to protect the labor of our country against unequal competition. It follows, of course, that, as conditions change, some of our tariffs may be too low, and such tariffs should be raised; it is even more likely that some of our tariffs are too high, and such tariffs should be reduced. The labor of the country, under the best and wisest application of the protective policy, is not only to be protected in what it has to sell, but it is also to be protected in what it has to buy. In Regard to Reciprocity. In regard to reciprocity the speaker said: The Democratic party has been able to defeat in the main the application of that policy in the development of our trade relations with other countries. The Democratic party may be able to defeat treaties requiring approval by the Senate by a two-thirds vote, but I do not anticipate that the Democratic party will be able to defeat the policy of reciprocity. I would not remove a single safeguard to American labor. I would not put out of mind for a moment the material interests of our increasing armies of workers. I would not lose sight for a day of the essential needs of supremacy in our own markets. If the policy of reciprocity is not compatible with the welfare of the men of the field and the shop, then to pronounce it "twin" of protection, "the handmaiden A.B. CUMMINS. of protection," the natural complement of protection," is inexcusable misnomer. I am not unmindful of the fact that prosperity has come to us beyond the dream of the St. Louis convention, nor am I unmindful of the fact that our industrial and commercial relations at home and throughout the world have undergone and are still undergoing marvelous change, but all this does not lessen our responsibility. I take it in readjusting our economic policy, we cannot wisely ignore the natural law of competition. Domestic competition has made us powerful at home; we cannot wholly cut loose from competition in the safe pursuit of our ambition, to lead in the trade of the world. But we cannot place our whole dependence on competition, nor can we invoke competition at will. Because we cannot do this, some of us are disposed to feel resentful. We are disposed to antagonize large corporations and to believe the worst of them. We say the law in some way should bring them down to our level. Not much of benefit to ourselves or to society can be hoped for on that line. Mighty forces are at work, and cannot be diverted, to eliminate competition in the large business of the country and the world. These forces are engaged in cheapening the cost of production and of transportation, and to that extent, we must agree, are answering popular demand and following sound economic law. The vast magnitude of transactions, impossible except under enormous aggregations of capital, of itself precludes old-fashioned competition. If what we recognize as competition remains at all, it is transferred to the comparative few, with interests largely identical and inviting to compacts and understandings. We do not care to destroy or cripple the business of these corporations; we want to protect the business and at the same time protect the public welfare. Thus it is that we are compelled to call into action a reserve power of the government—the power to regulate. That is the power we invoke in dealing with so-called trusts and monopolies. What we need to do is to provide protection against abuses. We do not wish to punish the innocent, but the guilty we must pursue. Allison's Tariff-Trust Plank Senator Allison's tariff-trust plank, which was adopted by the convention is as follows: We reliterate our faith in the historic principle of protection. Under its influence our country, foremost in the bounties of nature, has become foremost in production. It has enabled the laborer to successfully insist upon good wages and has induced capital to engage in production with a reasonable hope of a fair reward. Its vindication is found in the history of its success and the rapidity with which our national resources have been developed and our industrial independence secured and we heartily renew our pledge to maintain it. Must Change Schedules. Tariff rates are enacted to carry this policy into effect should be just, fair and impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly, to sectional discrimination and individual favoritism, and must from time to time be changed to meet the varying conditions incident to the progress of our industries and their changing relations in our foreign and domestic commerce. Duties that are too low should be increased and duties that are too high should be reduced. Endorse Reciprocity We endorse the policy of reciprocity and the natural complement of protection. Reciprocity between nations is trade for mutual advantage and both sides must give and take. Protection builds up domestic industry and trade and secures our own markets for ourselves; reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. We approve the treaty with Cuba recently ratified as conferring substantial benefits upon both countries and urge that the NUMBER 38. remaining steps necessary to make it effective be promptly taken. Regulate Trusts. We believe that the large corporations commonly called "trusts" should be so regulated and supervised both in their organization and operation that their evil tendencies may be checked and their evil practices prevented. In many instances they are efficient industrial instruments and the natural outcome of an inevitable process of economic evolution. We do not desire their destruction but insist they shall be so regulated and controlled as to prevent monopoly and promote competition and in the fullest measure subserve and advance the public good. The patriotic and resolute course of the President of the United States in his recommendations to Congress upon this subject and upon the related subject of the further regulation of interstate commerce commands our confidence and admiration and recent legislation of Congress in harmony with his recommendations meets our hearty approval. Fruit and Gout. The strawberry season is at hand, and this delicious fruit is not without its advocates as to its advantages in rheumatism. Indeed, some have gone the length to state that strawberries may not only be taken with impunity by the rheumatic and gouty, but with distinct advantage, if not relief. It is a somewhat curious coincidence, therefore, that in the strawberry the presence of salicylic acid, which is a specific in acute rheumatism, has been definitely established. As a matter of fact, salicylic acid would appear to be a normal constituent of most fruits. At any rate, this acid has been found not only in the strawberry, but in grapes, apples, plums, oranges and cherries, although the amount is probably less than one milligramme (one sixty-fourth of a grain) per kilogramme (two pounds) of fruit. It is hardly possible, therefore, that the strawberry should have any specific medicinal effect attributable to the salicylic acid present. A few weeks back there was recorded in our columns a formidable case of sprue in which strawberries in the diet appeared to act as a specific in the disease. As is well known, most fruits possess anti-scorbutic properties and contain salts which readily become converted into carbonates in the system, thus tending to maintain an alkaline condition and preventing the formation of acid deposits. The fact, however, that salicylic acid exists normally in fruits is of interest in connection with the use of salicylic acid as a preservative in jams. It is possible that some magistrates may regard this natural occurrence of the acid in fruits as a plausible defense in those cases in which proceedings are taken for the addition of small quantities of the preservative.—The Lancet. Prince George of Bavaria, grandson of the Emperor Franz Josef of Austria, has been seeing the United States and has sailed for home. Under the title "Count of Wurtemburg," he successfully hid his identity ltere until a few hours before sailing. "We have heard much in Europe of your American invasion, but," he said, "I had not realized what tremendous resources there are in this country. It is marvelous, especially the energy one sees everywhere. Bavaria, I believe, supplies the United States with more musicians than commercial products, but we hope in time to remedy that." --- Washington, D. C., July 1. The Associated Press is authorized to state that the Russian government most positively and absolutely denies the report that it has offered any official explanation to the American government either through the Russian embassy at Washington, or the American embassy at St. Petersburg, regarding the Kishineff incident, and declares that it has never been addressed by the American government on the subject. The Russian government most categorically refuses to receive from any power, any petitions, representations or communications relative to its internal affairs. PROF. M. E. COOLEY WILT NOT ACCEPT. Ann Arbor Professor Decides to Refuse Appointment to the University of Wisconsin Faculty. Detroit, Mich., July 1.—Prof. M. E. Cooley of the University of Michigan has practically made up his mind to refuse the offer of the position of dean of the engineering department of the University of Wisconsin. Prof. Cooley was in Detroit last night, and when asked what his intentions are, he said: "I have not finally determined. I shall first have a talk with the dean about the matter, but I am inclined to think I shall remain in Michigan. The offer from Wisconsin was made in such a kindly way that it merited the fullest consideration, but, you see, I can't make up my mind to leave Ann Arbor and Michigan. "There is now in progress of construction at Ann Arbor one of the finest engineering buildings in the country, and in it there will be several features entirely new to Ann Arbor. I hope to do several things in this new building which I have been unable to do before, and I should dislike very much to leave Ann Arbor at this juncture." Prof. Cooley intimated that he might recommend to the Wisconsin authorities that James Walker, the Michigan tax commission engineer, be appointed for the work of appraising Wisconsin railroad properties. Walker has been the expert for the Michigan commission. AN AGED WIDOW IS CRUELLY MURDERED. Revolting Crime Near Kinnison, I. T., Related in Court—Woman Was Clubbed, Beaten and Shot. Venita, I. T., July I.—Full details of a revolting crime were related in Commissioner Field's court at this place last evening. Cynthia Johnson, an aged widow, who lived near Kinnison, had been found alone by her slayer who attacked her with a club and beat her almost to death and escaped. Mrs. Johnson had some means, but her money was not taken. Hogs had attacked her and had eaten the corpse until it was beyond recognition. MACHEN TO DEMUR. Indicted Postoffice Official Pleads No Guilty to the Indictments Returned by the Grand Jury. Washington, D. C., July 1.—August W. Machen, against whom three indictments have been found for accepting a bribe in connection with government contracts for letter-box fasteners, was arraigned today before Justice Pritchard in criminal court No. 1. He pleaded not guilty and was given until July 20 to file a demurrer. Later the Groff Brothers, indicted with Machen, appeared in court and pleaded not guilty. They will be tried at the fall term of the court, in October. Trains Come Together Near Brussels and Twenty People Are Injured No Deaths Reported. Brussels, July 1. A serious collision occurred today at the railroad station at Schaerbeck, a suburb of this city. A train from Antwerp, filled with leading grain merchants who were on their way to attend the weekly grain market collided with a train which was leaving Schaerbeck. About twenty persons were badly injured, but there was no less of life. ILLINOIS VILLAGE SUFFERS FROM FIRE. Loss of $100,000 Sustained at Ocoya, on the Chicago & Alton—Immense Elevators Burned. Bloomington, Ill.. July 1.—Fire at Ocoya, a village thirty miles north on the Chicago & Alton, caused loss of $100,000 today. Two immense elevators were destroyed, together with the railroad depot, a general store and many other buildings and residences. CASE ENDED AFTER 24 YEARS. Litigation Over Policies on Life of Man Who Disappeared. Leavenworth, Kas., July 1.—The famous Hillman insurance case was finally taken from the docket of the United States circuit court today. The case had been on the docket for more than twenty-four years, during which time there were six long trials, was appealed twice and passed upon by the United States supreme court. In each of the appeals verdicts in favor of the widow were set aside. The original suit was brought against the New York Life for $10,000, the Mutual Life of New York for $10,000, and the Connecticut Mutual for $5000. The New York Life settled after the fifth trial, and the Mutual Life settled in August, 1901, nine months after a verdict had been rendered against it during the sixth trial for $22,068. The Connecticut Mutual carried the verdict against it for $11,054 to the supreme court, and it was set aside. This reversal left Mrs. Hillman Smith liable for an enormous amount of costs, estimated at $90,000, unless she secured a new verdict and one that would hold good. It is said that she has accepted an offer to settle by the Connecticut Mutual agreeing to take care of its own costs. F. W. Hutchings, one of her counsel, stated that she received several thousand dollars besides. FILLINGHAM SAILS. The Vicar of Hexton, England, Bids America Good-bye Until January Next. New York, June 30.—Rev. R. C. Fillingham, vicar of Hexton, England, apostle of anti-ritualism, who sailed for England today, has sent another letter to Bishop Henry C. Potter in which he says: "I had no idea of making a commotion in this city. Traveling for rest, I attended public worship, not the worship of God, at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, on Sunday week, and I felt compelled to call your attention and that of the public to the idolatry of which I am the witness. Your reply was not worthy of a Christian or a gentleman and I have no doubt but that by this time you are heartily ashamed of it. For my part, I condone a letter evidently written in a moment of hot-headed passion. Campaign Against Idolatry. "I am, if God spares me, to return to this country early in the new year and conduct a campaign against idolatry here and in other cities of the United States. My American friends do not regard me as an impertinent interloper, but are glad to join hands with one of the Anglo-Saxon race from whichever side of the ocean he may happen to come. Reminds Bishop of Vows. "I wish to remind you of one thing before I leave. When you were consecrated to the high office of bishop, you were asked: 'Are you ready with all faithful diligence to banish and drive away from the church all erroneous and strange doctrines contrary to God's word, and both privately and openly to call upon and encourage others to do the same?' solemnly in the presence of God and the congregation, at the most serious moment of your life, you replied: 'I am ready, the Lord being my helper.' Erroneous and Orange Doctrines. "I merely want to ask you now, was that a lie or the truth? Were you lying to God when you were consecrated bishop of New York? You know as well as I do that the blasphemous memoirs, the mass and the 'bun worship,' are held by our common church to be 'erroneous and strange doctrine.' Will you do what you promised, calling on God to help you, or will you not? "That is all I have to ask you. I hope the American public will find by your answer that you are a true man, a man resolved to do his duty and keep his word." His Wisconsin Trip. Mr. Fillingham is not at all disturbed by the reports from Milwaukee and Fond du Lac, Wis., of the reception he will receive from the extreme ritualists there should he attempt to interfere with the high church services in those dioceses. "I will do my duty," was all he said, when he was told that Bishop Grafton would hand him over to the authorities, should he attempt to interfere with any of his services. Bishop Potter was asked: "What do you think of this man Fillingham?" "I think he's a raving lunatic," said the bishop, smiling, "and you should know there are lots of lunatics in orders. I shall not open any letters from him." NEARLY LOSES MIND EATING HEALTH FOODS. St. Louis World's Fair Employe Has Had Enough of the "Condensed Pabulum." St. Louis, Mo., June 30.—Too much breakfast food is the cause Crampton Dubois assigns to an attack of insomnia so bad it compelled him to go to the City hospital for treatment. It is not his fault that he ate too freely, he says, for it was that or nothing, as he had to keep his brain in serviceable condition properly to perform the work of stenographer to Secretary Stevens of the World's fair commission. According to his statement he took enough cereal at breakfast to last him all day. Soon he began to find difficulty in sleeping, and the trouble reached a climax Sunday, when he went to the hospital. THEY BOYCOIT JEWS AND PROTESTANTS Clerical Party in a Riotous Outbreak Neat Strassburg, Alsace-Lorrain—Much Violence Is Done. Strassburg, Alsace-Lorraine, June 30.—The defeat of a clerical candidate for election to the Reichstag in a country district adjacent, to Strassburg caused a riotous outbreak today against the Anti-clericals. Mobs paraded the streets, shooting and stoning Jewish shops. The rioters attempted to liberate their arrested friends, which caused revolver shots to be exchanged.

Marks tells this story of his 4-year-old boy who, noticing for the first time a lock of gray hair on his father's head, asked: "Papa, why are some of your hairs gray?" Thinking to drive home a moral lesson, the father answered: "Papa gets a gray hair every time his little boy is naughty." The child seemed lost in thought, but after a short pause said naively: "Well, then, grandpapa must have had awful naughty boys."—New York Times. The Ideal Road. "Of course you're interested in this movement for good roads," said the expert automobilist. "I'm afraid I can't have the sort of road I'd like," replied the beginner. "What sort's that?"

More Perished in Mine Disaster at Hanna, Wyo., Than Was at First Reported. Hanna, Wyo., July 1.—Of 282 men who went into the Union Pacific Coal company's No. 1 mine yesterday 235 were killed by the explosion of black damp that occurred at 10:30 yesterday. Most of the dead are Finlanders and Negroes. Members of the rescuing parties tell of pitiful scenes about the seventeenth level, as deep as it has been possible to penetrate. Some of the survivors were driven insane and fought like fiends against the rescuers. Dazed, listless survivors were found sitting on cars or lying on the floor, careless of whether they lived or died. Near the seventeenth level twenty bodies were found strewn over a pile of debris which the men had striven to surmount before overcome by the deadly fumes. Some were seared and blackened by flames, but all had died crawling toward fresh air. The eleven rescuers who had gone this far were too weak to bring out a body. For hours the scene at the mouth of the level was heart moving. With clothes and hair awry, mothers, wives, sweethearts and children huddled together, weeping and wringing their hands. Many sat on shattered timbers blown from the mine's mouth, insensible to their surroundings. The most frantic pushed to the edge of the gap and tried to force a way into the slope. An expert who went almost to the seventeenth level says the mine cannot possibly be cleared for a month. It is feared that men in the lower levels were torn to pieces by the explosion, which hurled great timbers high over the town and 1700 feet beyond the mouth of the slope. Among the dead is Alfred Happgood, who turned the first shovel of dirt in starting the slope. The fire bosses, who had reported all safe before working time yesterday, met death while making a second inspection. Omaha, Neb., July 1.—Orders were received at Union Pacific headquarters this morning from Hanna, Wyo., for 150 coffins, which are being shipped to Hanna. PRAISES RELIANCE. Sir Thomas Says She Will Be Chosen to Defend the American Cup. Newport, R. I., July 1.—The Reliance crossed the line at 4:21:7, more than 4 minutes ahead of the second boat. Newport, R. I., July 1.—Sir Thomas Lipton arrived here today to attend the third race of the present series between the Reliance, Constitution and Columbia. Praise for Reliance. "She certainly looks like a wonderful boat," said Sir Thomas Lipton, turning to several of his friends on the after deck of the Erin, after they all had looked at the Reliance. He added that after yesterday's race there could be no doubt as to which boat would defend the cup against the Shamrock III. Race Conditions Poor. The starting times, as seen from this point, were: Constitution, 1:15:16; Reliance, 1:16:16; Columbia, 1:17. There was a fog and the conditions were not good for a race, although the wind was blowing about twelve knots. Within twenty minutes after the start the Reliance had fore-reached the Constitution and was practically the leading boat. The Constitution, however, clung close to her and when the yachts disappeared in the fog, the two leaders seemed to be racing side by side. The Columbia was a short distance astern, but it did not seem as if she was being dropped to any great extent. When the yachts were made out again it looked as if the Reliance was in the lead. This was at 2:30 p. m. Reliance Ahead. As the yachts neared Point Judith breakwater, it was seen that the Reliance was ahead by over a minute. Constitution had the weather position of Columbia. RABBIS DISCUSS SABBATH QUESTION. Central Conference of Hebrews at Detroit Consider Observing Sunday as a Day of Rest. Detroit, Mich., July 1.—The Sabbath question was taken up at the session today by the central conference of American rabbis. The Sabbath committee presented a reports declaring that the conference had no jurisdiction in the matter and declared that the conference was incompetent to legislate any fundamental Jewish institution out of existence. The committee declare that historically they could not find any argument for changing from Sabbath to Sunday. They recommended the creation of a national conference to which all questions might be referred. This plan is in effect a scheme to consolidate the conference of American rabbis and the union of American Hebrew congregations. THE BODY BELONGS IN EVANSTON, ILL.

Thirteen Thousand Men Quit Work in Birmingham, Ala., Though No Formal Strike Has Been Declared. Birmingham, Ala., July 1.—All the miners who are members of the United Mine Workers of America, numbering about 13,000 in this district, suspended work today, the old wage contract being agreed upon.

Colored Minister Will Send Petition to Russian Emperor Asking Him to Interfere in Outrages. Wilmington, Del., July 1.—Rev. M. W. Thornton, a Negro clergyman, has made announcement that he will ask the European powers, and especially the Czar of Russia, to take immediate action toward putting an end to the lynching of Negroes. Pittsburg, Pa., June 30.—The breaking of a shaft on the first floor of the H. J. Heinz company's plant in Allegheny yesterday released the ropes supporting a large freight elevator on which twenty-three persons were crowded. The cage fell from the fifth floor into the cellar, a distance of 45 feet, and everyone on the elevator was injured. It is thought that at least two will die. The injured: John Churney, Allegheny; both legs broken; will likely die. Mrs. Edward Holman, Mount Hope, N. J.; injury to spline; probably will die. Joseph Weber, Allegheny; both legs broken; condition serious. O. P. Thomason, Allegheny; leg crushed. Mrs. C. R. Sammons, east end, Pittsburg; spine injured. Imogene Redmon, Paris, Ky.; ankle strained and spine injured. Andrew Bolak, Allegheny; ankle sprained. H. A. Morrison, Hazelwood; compound fracture of the leg. Mrs. A. Lotha, Allegheny; concussion of spine and ankle sprained. William Koncana, Cleveland, O.; ankle sprained and spine injured. C. Howak, Cleveland; ankle sprained and injury to spine. Mrs. A. Vodraska, Allegheny; cut by flying glass. Charles Spurney, Cleveland; body badly bruised. John Kotsybar, Cleveland; concussion of spine. Mrs. George Sherlock, Hazelwood; compound fracture left leg. Mike Demko, Cleveland: leg sprained. John Zabouske, Cleveland: ankle sprained. Mrs., William Mitchell, Hazelwood; leg fractured in two places. Mrs. Victor Bailey, Hazelwood; leg fractured. John Brotsky, Pittsburg; ankle sprained; Steven Jasco, Cleveland; ankle sprained; taken home. Mrs. Minnie Spring, Glenshaw; ankle sprained. Mrs. E. W. Thornton, Hazelwood; compound fracture of leg. Drunken Men Cause Crash. When the accident occurred the elevator was evidently overcrowded. According to what was told by Dr. J. S. Phillips, physician at the plant, the anties of two men on the elevator who were intoxicated caused the disaster. Dr. Phillips says the two men crowded on the car after being told by the operator to stay off. Once on they commenced jumping, with the result that the shaft snapped and left the elevator without control. According to the story told by William Koncano, a dry goods merchant of Cleveland, at the hospital there was no disorder in the crowd. "I thought there were too many on the car," he said, "when I saw how crowded we were, and as soon as the car left the fifth floor I am certain everyone realized that something had happened to the machinery and that the elevator was slipping. There was not a sound or a cry uttered by anyone until we landed in a heap in the cellar." Nearly All Are Visitors. All but two of the injured were visitors to the Heinz plant. The Cleveland people are members of the Bohemian Catholic Central union and took part in the blessing of the guns of the cadets of St. George of Allegheny on Sunday. An examination of the shaft and machinery showed that those injured narrowly escaped instant death, as the 750-pound weight at the side of the shaft shot to the roof of the building, ripped through the timbers at the top and fell half its length through the ceiling over the sixth floor. Had the timbers been a little less stout the huge weight would have fallen nearly sixty feet upon the mass of injured people huddled in a heap on the floor of the demolished elevator. NEGROES KILL WHITE MAN John Cash Riddled with Bullets While Trying to Break Up Church Service. Columbus, Ga., June 30.—John Cash, a white man, who entered a Negro church in Harris county and tried to stempede the congregation, was shot to death by the Negroes. Cash was a planter, and the Negroes have a church near his home. A revival was in progress at the church and there was much shouting. The noise disturbed Cash, and he decided to break up the meeting. He entered the church in a threatening manner and ordered the Negroes to get out. "He's profaning God's house. Kill him!" shouted the religion frenzied Negroes. "Be merciful," cried the preacher, but the Negroes were overwrought, and began firing at Cash, who stood near the pulpit. Probably 500 shots were fired, many of them striking Cash, who fell in a pool of blood at the altar. Only one Negro, Henry White, has been arrested, but it is not believed he will be prosecuted. Henry White's father once killed a white man who was leading a white-cap party. DR. VON HOLLEBEN QUITS. Diplomatic Career of German Ambassa dor Ended—Was Noted Statesman and Skillful Duelist. Washington, June 30.—Dr. Von Holleben, ambassador from Germany to the United States, ended his active career yesterday. Though one of the most eminent diplomats in the world, having spent a long life in the service, his retirement from Washington and thereupon from active work is due to his having become pensona non grata with the government. Dr. Von Holleben, though he has been prominent as a diplomatist, is perhaps even better known as a duelist. He is regarded as one of the most skillful swordmen of the world. Dr. Von Holleben first came to this country in 1892 as German minister. He was made ambassador in 1897. LARGEST RAFT ON THE LAKES. Tow Containing 7,000,000 Feet Brought to Baraga. Baraga, Mich., June 30.—[Special.]— What is said to be the largest rafts of logs ever towed on the great lakes was brought into Baraga by the steamer Schoolcraft and the tug Bruce. The raft contained 7,000,000 feet of lumber. Turkish Crops Seriously Damaged Constantinople, June 30.—The crops in several provinces have been seriously damaged by recent torrential rains and hail. LONGS FOR CHILD AND TURNS KIDNAPER. Strange Story of Lonely Chicago Woman Who Stole a Baby—Detectives Find Little Alice Furlong. Chicago, Ill., July 1.—Two-year-old Alice Furlong, in lace cap and ruffled frock, the like of which she has never known before, is at home again after a week's adventure with a kidnaper. The finding of the little girl in a Washington boulevard boarding house by Inspector Shea's detectives after a week's search reveals a strange story of a lonely woman's longing for a child, and how it impelled her to steal the baby. Mrs. Hazel Avery, the kidnaper, is in a cell at the police station, disconsolate over the loss of the child and fearful of her fate. Mrs. Avery is a puzzle to the police. Capt. Haines can discover no motive of kidnaping for ransom in the woman's deed, and will prefer no such charge against her. Between sobs she told how she has yearned for years for the solace of a child to call her own, and how one night she saw the little Furlong child and carried it away. She bought an entire new outfit of clothes for the baby and gave up her work that she might stay at home and care for it. From the story told the police it appears that Mrs. Avery was separated from her husband some time ago after moving to Chicago from Kansas City. She worked as a chambermaid in boarding houses, earning $7 a week. RIOT ATTENDS STRIKE. Detectives and Girls Are Beaten Almost to Death by Unionists—One of Mcb Is Shot. Chicago, Ill., July 1.—Three persons were beaten almost to death shortly before 6 o'clock last night, scores of women and girls were panic-stricken and two men were arrested, the result of a riot that grew out of the strike of employees of the Kellogg Switchboard and Supply company. Officials of the company assert the trouble was precipitated by the strikers, as a renewal of the difficulties, because of the failure of Monday's peace negotiations. Six girls were under escort of two detectives when they were set upon by a mob. Revolver shots were exchanged, clubs were used freely and stones were thrown. One man, apparently at first a spectator, but later a member of the crowd, was shot. The injured: George W. Quackenbush, detective; beaten and kicked by rioters after firing several shots, one of which struck a spectator who had joined the rioters; taken to the county hospital; under arrest. George Robertson, nonunion cable spiller employed at the Kellogg plant; assisted Quackenbush in defending girls; beaten and kicked; under arrest at the Desplaines street police station. Edward Wilson, waiter. 509 West Congress street; shot in the leg; taken to county hospital. TRUST SENDS PRICE OF COAL UP AGAIN. Able to Wipe Out Loss Caused by the Anthracite Strike in Less Than Seven Months. New York, July 1. It is officially announced that the anthracite coal companies advanced the price of coal 10 cents a ton today. All of this is a part of the plan recently adopted by the coal trust to force dealers to lay in their supply during the summer months or earlier in the season. The new policy adopted by the coal trust after the strike is resulting in enormous earnings. The statement for the month of May issued by the Reading company caused a big surprise in Wall street. It shows that the enormous losses of the long anthracite coal strike have been overcome in seven months. LEFT MILLIONS TO WISCONSIN WOMAN. Children of Jonathan Clark of Chicago Say He Became Infatuated with Caroline Patterson. Chicago, Ill., July 1.—The validity of the will of Jonathan Clark, a millionaire contractor who left an estimated fortune of $2,000,000, is attacked by Eunice M. Smith and Fred W. Clark, Emaretta M. Kaufman and Jonathan Yates Clark, all of whom are children of Jonathan Clark. The entire fortune was left to Caroline Patterson. The complainants declare that in 1880, while their father was engaged in construction work at Lake Geneva, Wis., he became infatuated with Caroline Patterson at the home of whose mother he boarded while there. CHILD OF SEVEN SLAIN. Mutilated and Decomposed Body Found Near Rockford, Ill.-Motive Is a Deep Mystery. Rockford, Ill., July 1.—The remains of Richard Tebbetts, a newsboy 7 years old, who disappeared eight days ago, were found by section men near the Driving park, about two miles north of the city. The circumstances point to a brutal murder, but the motive is a mystery. The child had been practically disemboweleed. Beside him lay his unsold papers, a bag of candy and some pennies. The body was badly decomposed. The boy was the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Tebbetts, who are divorced. GEN. CLAY WANTS HIS CHILD WIFE BACK. Now That Her Second Husband Has Been Killed Sage of Whitehall Hopes Girl Will Return. Lexington, Ky., July 1. Gen. Cassius M. Clay, the sage of Whitehall, has written to his former child-wife, Dora Richardson Brock, whose husband was killed by a train in Illinois several days ago, asking her to come back and remain with him the rest of her life. Gen. Clay realizes that he has only a short time to live and he has called continually for his young wife, even since she got a divorce from him and married Brock. RUSH MEDICAL COLLEGE TO GET $7,000,000. Trustees Raise a Million and Thus Secure the Rockefeller Gift of Six Millions More. Chicago, Ill., July 1.—Trustees of Rush Medical college have succeeded in raising a fund of $1,000,000, which will be tendered to the trustees of the University of Chicago, thus assuring the gift of $6,000,000 promised by John D. Rockefeller and the construction in Chicago of the most magnificent medical institution in the world. SHERIFF IS SHOT PROTECTING NEGRO. HIS DAUGHTER AIDS HIM IN FU TILE BATTLE WITH MOB AT SCOTTSBORO, ALA. Colored Man Is Finally Taken from Jail and Hanged-Confessed to Attempt to Rape Girl. Scottsboro, Ala., June 30.—Andrew Diggs, a Negro, was taken from the jail last night and hanged by a mob. The Negro attempted to assault the 19-year-old daughter of Dr. B. B. Smith. The sheriff seized two pistols when the mob arrived and mounting the stairs said he would kill anyone who attempted to come up. The threat was received with a volley of shots and the sheriff returned the fire. One shot took effect in the sheriff's right leg and the other in his pistol arm. The daughter of the sheriff ran to his aid, but by threats of a member of the mob who had a pistol she was forced to deliver the keys to the cell in which the Negro was kept. One of the masked men summoned a doctor, who dressed the wounds of the sheriff, which are not dangerous. The Negro made a confession to the brother of the young woman and others who visited the jail after his capture. THE POPE'S VISIT TO VATICAN GARDENS. The Pontiff Takes Carriage Ride in Open Air for the First Time This Year. Rome, June 30.—The Pope descended to the Vatican gardens this morning for the first time this year and was driven about for an hour and a half. He seemed to enjoy the air immensely and noticed the changes made in the gardens since last year. He was specially interested in the growth of the vines planted by himself and made inquiries regarding the prospects of the vintage. When the Pope returned to his apartments he seemed not in the least fatigued and received several bishops. He did not make his annual visit last night to the crypt under the high altar at St. Peter's, where the remains of St. Peter and St. Paul are buried, owing to his feebleness. This is the first time during his pontificate that the Pope has abstained from praying at the tomb of the apostles on St. Peter's eve. The Italian government, in order to be prepared for any eventuality, has ordered two regiments in the provinces to be kept ready to come to Rome and reinforce the garrison in the city, so that the authorities will have a sufficient force to maintain order and insure the liberty of the conclave should it become necessary to hold one. If the cardinals, as after the death of Pius IX., decide to meet at the Vatican, the government will surround the palace with troops to prevent any attempt against the freedom of the conclave and also the removal of valuables from the Vatican during the interregnum, as was customary before 1870. None of the Catholic great powers exercised the right of veto on the election of the Pope at the last conclave, and it is claimed that it would not be just for them to do so at the next one. The Pope is determined to proclaim the veto inoperative at the next conclave. MANY DIE IN EXPLOSION. Reported That Two Hundred Men Were Killed or Injured in Accident in Wyoming. Hanna, Wyo., June 30.—The worst coal mine disaster in the history of Wyoming occurred in Mine No. 1 of the Union Pacific Coal company today at 11 o'clock, when a terrific explosion took place. Two hundred men were working in the mine at the time. The explosion set fire to the mine and at this time it is impossible to estimate the loss of life. Not less than twenty men were killed outright and although this mine is well ventilated and provided with many avenues of escape, the loss of life will be very large. Not a man at this time has found his way to the surface. Supt. E. D. Brooks is working diligently with the large force of men to rescue the imprisoned miners and extinguish the raging flames. Rescue Party at Work. Omaha, Neb., June 30.—At the Union Pacific headquarters in this city no details are known of the Hanna mine explosion. A report received here states that 200 men were in the mine at the time of the explosion and that a rescue party has been sent down the shaft. Until the rescuers shall have reached the scene of the explosion nothing will be known as to the extent of the damage and the number of casualties. The mines are operated by the Union Pacific Coal company. May Be Burned or Suffocated. Rawlins, Wyo., June 30.—A terrific explosion occurred in the coal mines at Hanna, Wyo., about 10 o'clock this morning. Nearly 200 men are said to have been in the mine at the time of the explosion. It is said that the mine took fire immediately and the relief force which was organized at once to rescue the entombed miners have so far been unable to approach the entrance to the mine on account of the dense volumes of smoke. Unless the workmen are soon relieved it is not believed that they will be found alive. Hanna is on a branch line from Allen Junction and particulars of the explosion are hard to obtain. MR. PAYNE TO TAKE A REST Washington, D. C., June 30.—Postmaster General Payne, accompanied by Mrs. Payne, will leave Friday for the Catskills, to be the guest of Roswell Miller of New York, formerly president of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad. Mr. Payne will remain over the Fourth of July. As forecasted yesterday in these dispatches the grand jury brought in additional indictments against August W. Machen and the Groff brothers. Sheriff Seizes a Ship. New York, June 30.—The ship Young America, which is being built in a Perth Amboy shipyard for a nautical preparatory school of Rhode Island, was seized today by the sheriff of Middlesex county, N. Y., on an attachment for $4800 procured by the designer of the vessel, the cost of which was to be $150,000. Servian Skupshtina Adjourns. Belgrade, June 30. At the meeting of the Skupshtina today. Premier Avakumovics closed the session specially summoned by the provisional government June 11. OH, DINNA ASK ME.

A Woman’s Choice —V——"" ARGARET ASHTON gazec IM dreamily at her own reflectior in the mirror, and a little smilk of satisfaction played around the cor- ners of her daintily curved lips. Yes, she was beautiful, but to-night she must look her loveliest, for she was to attend the DeForsh’s ball, and Charley was to be there. She put a few last finishing touches to her hair and clasped the pearl neck- lace carefully about her throat, then picked up the two separate bouquets that lay awaiting her. White roses and lilies of the valley; she raised the latter to her lips softly, for they were from Charley, of course. They were her favorite flowers and he always sent them, and the roses were from Gerald Lorrimer. She held them up against her dress to note the effect, and instead of the usual card a note fell from each. She opened Charley Hamilton's first; it ran as follows: Dearest Margaret—You were to give me my answer to-night. If It Is yes, as I fondly hope, please wear my flow- ers as a token. Margaret, I plead my love for you as the only basis of my hope, knowing how unworthy I am to become your husband. But, Margaret, I love you with all of a true man's devotion, and will work for you as I never have before. Perhaps some day I will be able to give you all the luxuries you now have and deserve. I pray God that I may. Think of my love, and if you can give me any hope, wear my flowers this evening. Your old friend and true lover. CHARLEY. Her eyes shone softly and her lips trembled, as she read it through the third time. She picked up the lilies of the valley and pinned them tremblingly against her corsage. Life with Charley! What meant pov- erty or care or anything else, so long as she had his love? Then she noticed the other note lying all forgotten at her feet. She picked it up and opened it. Let us glance over her shoulder. My Dear Miss Ashton—I take this opportunity of proposing for your hand in marriage. Youmay be surprised, but I have had you in mind for some time as a most proper person to share my wealth and position. I can give you anything you desire, as you well know, and shall think your beauty and wit a fair return. If your answer is favorable, wear my roses to-night at the De Forsh's. Yours truly, GERALD LORRIMER. It was short and to the point. Her face grew pale and she shivered slightly as she read it. There was no mention of love. Well, She was glad, for she hated him. He was selfish and contemptible in her sight. She read the note again. 4 Yes, he certainly could give her ev- erything to which she was accustomed. He was wealthy beyond a doubt. She was sorely tempted. Life with him meant wealth and ease. Life with Charley, economy and toil, She held up one slim hand and ex- amined it carefully. It was never meant for hard work, She umpinned the flowers and put them in a bowl of water, then pinned the roses in their place. She sat back in the corner of the carriage with her wrap drawn closely around her, as she was driven away. It was rather late, but what did it matter? Nothing mattered now.

Home Portraiture——The usual de- fects in portraits made out of doors by the amateur are heavy shadows under the eyes, nose and chin. These are due to the excessive amount of light coming directly from above. To remedy them, rig up some sort of a sereen-a few feet above the sitter, and also arrange a reflector—such as a piece of white card, or a board covered a colonial empire, says the Berlin correspondent of the New York Times. A similar position is also held by the Countess von Goetzen, who Is now in Berlin with her husband Count von Goetzen, the governor of German East Africa. The count, while in Berlin on a re- cent leave of absence, talked in an interesting manner of the country of which he is governor, “German East Africa is double the size of Germany,” he said, “and has a population of 6,000,000, of which only 1,000 are Europeans. The country Is very productive and rich in mineral wealth. I am now seeking capital for the purpose of building a railroad to connect Kiwa, in the neighborhood of our capital, Daaresaalam, with Lake Nyassa. This road, if built, will be of immense value, for it will make possible the control of trade between Lake Nyassa and Lake Tanganicka. “Land is given to prospective set- tlers in German East Africa under the most favorable conditions, It is interesting to note, in this connection, that a large number of Boers have set- tled in our colony. German East Africa's mineral wealth has been only partly exploited. At Tramba, in the Kilimagaro; a twenty days’ journey from the coast, gold mines exist. Ger- man East Africa has an abundance of cattle, which are exported. Game also abounds. “Slavery in East Africa is gradually becoming a thing of the past, slave dealers seing severely punished. The ‘result has been that many Arabs form- erly engaged in the traffic have be- ‘come very poor. We are still permit- ting the so-called house slavery, which can be abolished only by gradual pro- cesses, “Daaresaalam, the capital, is increas- ing in size and is becoming an im- portant shipping center. It has the best harbor on the African cost, and is equipped with a dry dock. . “The climate Is very enervating, but no worse than that of India and Cey- lon. In the highlands of the Interior a delightful subtropical coolness pre- vails. We are now planning to es- tablish in the Usambara mountains, where the good coffee is raised, a hill station, in which to spend the warm season, patterned after similar ones in India. We shall also establish a biological experiment station, similar to the famous one at Buiten Zorg, on the Island of Java.” Count yon Goetzen’s rule of East Africa has met the entire approval of the German government. He was sent to Africa not merely as a military man but as one who by travel and numer- ous explorations had become thorough- ly acquainted with African Ife and conditions. His methods have been unbureaucratic, and in eyery possible way he has given active support to the merchants and planters living in the colony. He frequently holds meet- ings at which these elements are pres- ent aud hears from them their griev- ances. He has solved the difficult problem of how to obtain men to work on the plantations by bringing natives from districts in the interior. It is his aim to put the colony on such a financial basis: that it shall be self-sustaining and financially in- dependent of the home government. Gov. von Goetzen is popular with the natives, whom he has endeavor- ed to treat humanely and fairly. He hopes to establish a native council, somewhat on the same principle as that adopted by the British in India. OLD HAVILAND INN TO BE TURNED INTO A MUSEUM For 200 years the old Haviland inn, in Rye, Westchestér County, New York, made famous by the visits of Washington, Lafayette, John Adams and other fathers of the republic, has escaped destruction, and now it is like- ly to be turned into a historical mu- seum. William Raymond, owner of the Property, was about to tear it down and erect a business building on the site, when John E. Parsons, William H. Parsons and J. H. Whittemore, their cousin, purchased the property for $15,000. The inn stands in the village square, with a white sheet—inclined on the ground so as to reflect light upward on to the face. These measures will modify the shadows and give a much more pleasing portrait. Another point to be borne in mind is to use a de- yeloper of moderate strength. If pyro- soda is employed, the pyro should not be more than 2 grs. per ounce. With many plates 1 gr. is sufficient. Those who use the ready-made developers, of which they do not know the compo- sition, should add an equa! bulk of water.—Exchange. Reduction Formula.—Prof. Lainer gives the following formula, by which a very slowly proceeding reduction of the negative is obtained: Fixing soda solution 1:4, 100 c.em.; lodide potas- sium, 1 gr. After an hour the reduc- tion is perceptible; after eight to ten hours’ action even a dense fog will disappear. and dates back to 1731, when Peter Brown presided over its affairs. After- wards the widow Haviland came into possession, and in Washington's let- ters mention is made of the “very neat and decent inn” at Rye, at which he stopped Oct. 15, 1789.

For generations the stage coaches from Boston and New York stopped at the Rye inn and de- posited travelers over night, many fa- mous Americans being among the guests." The action of the Parsons family in saving the old landmark Is greatly ap- preciated by residents in the district, and it is said the place is to be filled with relies and souvenirs connected with Rye, since it was a parish of Great Britain in 1660. Z GOLD FEVER IN VERMONT. Inhabitants in Some Sections See Vis- ions of Great Wealth. The residents of several of the south- ern towns in Bennington and Wind- ham counties, Vermont, have for sev- eral months been experiencing a se- vere attack of gold fever. Many of them have become convinced that they are living in a new California, and that untold wealth In mineral production can be found in the rocky hills. Many persons who have bought claims have sent samples of their rock to Prof. Mason of the Rensselaer Poly- technic Institute of Troy, says the Bos. ton Herald. In every case his replies have been unfavorable, and he has done his best to discourage confidence in any profit from gold mining ‘n Ver- mont. In returning some of these samples to a party with a decidedly unfavor- able report, the professor says: “There is no gold in paying quantities to be found in the New England States; and very little east of the Mis- sissippi river. There are traces of gold in suflicient quantity to reward the worker everywhere, even in the backyards of Bennington, but there is no ‘pay dirt’ or gold in this part of the country. When I have warned some of your Vermont people who have brought specimens to me, that it would be better for them not to in vest money in the hope of reward in gold mining, I have discovered by the long faces of some that the warning was too late and that the property had been purchased with the idea that it would prove to be a bonanza.” In the towns of Readsboro, Wilming- ton and others near by, thousands of dollars have been thrown away in the last eighteen months in wildcat min- ing enterprises. An Anecdote of Dumas. Speaking of Alexander Dumas a writer says that his chief characteris- tie was his utter disregard of money. He made millions, but never bad a france at his command. “For exam- ple,” said he, “upon one occasion Du- mas had invited company to dinner, and, finding that he did not stand pos- sessed of a single cent, drove to a friend's and asked him to lend him two louis. This his friend readily did, and as Dumas was taking his leave suggested, as he had just been get- ting some very fine pickles, he would be glad to give him a jar to add to his dinner. The seryant was sent for the pickles and when he put the jar in the carriage, Dumas, having no other change about him, dropped the two louis In the man’s hand.” MANY DIE IN A WRECK, Awful Railroad Disaster in Spain, Near Madrid, FIND A HUNDRED CORPSES.

Se Lord Mayor of London, a Jew, Says Rus- sia Is Doing All She Can to Aid Hebrews. _London, June 29.—Lord Mayor Samu- el, in a speech yesterday at the prize dis- tribution of the religion classes at one of the Londen synagogues, said it was quite useless to bring agitation to bear in the hope of influencing Russia in regard to the treatment of the Jews. Their breth- ren in Australia, animated by the most generous feelings, had sent money and lad passed a resolution which it became his duty to submit to the foreign office. In following their wishes he was aware What the result would be. Therefore he Was not surprised when assured that this Was an internal matter and that the for- eign office could do nothing. The Jews of this country, the lord mayor continues, desired for their breth- reu in Russia religions equality and he believed he was right in saying the Czar Was most anxious that the boon should be extended to his Hebrew subjects. But there were other difficulties to overcome, The case was different from. that of Roumania, where treaty rights were vio- lated. Russia was under no treaty ob- ligations and was free to manage her in- ternal affairs as she thought best. It was only by appealing to the better side of the Russian nation—and there was a very large better side—that they could hope to awaken that sense of right Which he was convinced no amount of agitation could bring about. In this connection it_ has transpired that shortly after the Kishineff outbreak the Russian embassy conveyed a person- al assurance to the lord mayor that if he would discountenance anti-Russian agita- tion in London he could depend not only that there would be no repetition of such attacks on the Jews, but that measures would be undertaken to generally im- Prove their position in Russia.

C., June 29.—The As- sociated Press is authorized to state that the reports in circulation that there is friction between tne administration and Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, are absolutely without foundation. It is stated that the relations of the President and the state department with Count Cassini are officially and personally en- tirely cordial. It is regarded as a serious reflection upon the sincerity of the Pres- ident to resent his action in forwarding the petition relative to the Jews in Rus- sia as in any way connected with inter- national negotiations in the far east or with the faithful manner in which Count Cassini has represented his government at Washington. FENCE POSTS PLACED ON THE CAR TRACK. Nine Passengers, a Motorman and Con- ductor Narrowly Escape Death Near Hancock, Mich. Hancock, Mich., June 29.—[{Special.]— Lives of nine passengers on a street car were jeopardized by some unknown per- son who put a fence post on the track, the car being derailed and plunged down an embankment near Hancock. It was running at a high rate of speed from Calumet, when Richard Crook, the mo- torman, saw the obstruction too late to uyert an accident. The car plunged down the embankment, striking a telephone pole. Crook just escaped serious injfiry or death. ‘The car was wrecked, but the passengers and crew escaped with only a severe shaking up. The police are look- ing for the miscreants. eee ARREST PRESIDENT OF GOLD MINE COMPANY. Postoffice Inspectors Will Inspect the Books of the Columbia Company and Communicate with the Customers. New York, June 29.—Henry Alton, president of the Columbia Gold Mining company, was arrested today charged with violation of the penal code, which makes it a misdemeanor to neglect to file with the county clerk the names of the persons composing a company or co-part- nership. The arrest on a technical charge is said to have been due to a fear that the publicity given the case might cause the men concerned to leave the city.

Se Skeleton of Body Buried Twenty Years Ago Near La Crosse Uncovered by Recent Inundation. La Crosse, Wis., July 1.—[Special.]— To stumble upon the crumbling skeleton of a man whom he helped to bury twenty Years ago was the experience Carl G. Foerster of this city had yesterday. Twenty years ago the floating body of a man was found in the Mississippi. Two men stood near by and the three got the body ashore and buried it on the bank. Foerster, then but a small boy, was told not to mention the occurrence, and he did not for some time. The body was buried on an island opposite the city. While walking on the bank near the spot, Foerster noticed the bones of a man. He went to the place where he had helped in the mysterious burial and found that the water had washed the skeleton partly away. + Negro Preacher at Minneapolis Preaches Sermon in Answer to La Crosse Divine’s Assertions. La_ Crosse, Wis.. July 1.—{Special.]— Dr. D. E. Butler, a colored preacher of Minneapolis, bitterly attacked Dr. G. A.

This = law is violated, and to compel stealing by law would certainly be a law respected.” After severe general criticism, Dr. But- ler ends his statement with: “Dr. Pow- ell evidently bas been a friend of the Negto, and may be now, but his argn- ment is inconsistent and recommend- tions to both races notoriously bad,” ceases LAWYER TO COLLECT DEBTS OF STUDENTS Madison Merchants Unite in Effort to Force Payment from Pupils Who Failed to Settle.

There is a popular impression that all public men of the first class are immense- ly wealthy, whereas there are some of whom the country hears a great deal who are simply in comfortable circum- stances. This is to a greater extent true of southern public men than of those of any other section. Professional earnings are smaller in the south than in the north or west. We have heard on good authority that a ee southerner who retired from the Senate a few years ago stated that his income as a lawyer, up to his entering that body, had never exceeded the amount of his senatorial salary ia any one year. Nor are al! the nerthern or western men in Congress rich. -We could mention one New Enz- lander who went back t private life un- der the necessity of working hard in old age, his total estate being only about $25,000. This gentleman was glad to accept a position with a moderate salary to assure himself against want, and that was procured him by the exertions of constituents who knew that he was poor- er for his long service in Congress.—Bos- ton Transcript. ——_—_-—____— Berevian O11 Woellc The oil wells of Peru yield an aver- age of sixty barrels a day of a quality corresponding to that of the Russian petroleum from Batoum, being 84 pe= cent. carbon.

The idea of giving Plymouth Rock a tour for the benefit of a gaping public suggests the catapult for rapid transit. The storm centers do not always begin with K. True, there are Kischineff and Keutucky, but there is also Belgrade. Ante-bellum conditions in the South are vividly recalled by the disfranchising methods of the politicians and the brutal peonage in Alabama.

A study of the group photographs of graduating classes at the various institu- tions of learning indicates that the fad of parting the hair in the middle is fad- ing among young men. In the Yale grad- nating cluss—a very large one—there are so few wiih hair parted in the middle that it takes work to pick them out. One of the interesting items in the Statistical bureau's exhibit of the foreign commerce of the United States for the eleven months ended with May, 1903, is that which shows the exports of cotton to have reached the aggregate value of $808,747,095. This is $5,000,000 more than in any previous period of eleven months. It is due in part, however, to the high price of cotton this year. The cotton exports for the past eleven months weighed 3,481,353,287, compared with 3,721,310,000 pounds in the first eleven months of the fiscal year 1898. For the large quantity thus reported in 1898, however, the price obtained was only $222,414,180. ——_—— Electric Furnace. The electric resistance furnace made by Heraeus of Hanan, Germany, depends upon the incandescence of a spiral of fine platinum wire. In an improved and cheapened form of the furnace the wire has a thickness of only 1-3500th of an inch, and the glass tube around which the spiral is wound can be heated to 1700 degrees centigrade, this being as great a temperature as any tubes now produced ean stand. Such furnaces are found use- ful for determining melting points, or- ganic chemical analysis and other pur- poses. In organic analysis the cone, of wire encircling the glass combustion tube is cut up into several sections, each with jts own current connections, so that suc- cessive portions of the tube can be heated as desired.

No matter how pure a source of 8Up ply may be at hand for watering stock, if it is pumped into an open trough and left exposed for any length of time it soon becomes polluted and unfit for the animals to drink. This will not be the case, according to the inventor, if the stock-watering aD paratus here shown is put into use. If pure water is furnished to the tank or barrel to which this fountain is at tached, it is claimed that there is no way by which the animal that is drinking can make it foul. The wa- terer consists of a double drinking bowl, made of cast iron, which is at tached to the outside of a tank or bar rel. On the inside is another chamber, inclosed in which is a brass float and ee STM == («) SS oe a SS i en a Ue ii) ew Ka el ] = ANIMALS CAN oe BEFOUL SUPPLY. lever, controlling the flow of water to the outside bowl. The fountain is au- tomatic in its action, as the float rises with the water in the bowl and cuts off the supply when the proper height has been reached. As the valve is al- ways closed, except when water is flowing from the tank to the drinking bowl, there is no opportunity for for- elgn matter to find its way to the inte- rior of the storage reservoir. Covering Peach Trees. Several years ago the writer par- ticipated in the work of laying down peach trees in autumn and covering them in various ways to protect them through the winter and spring. This plan has been tried in various ways almost every year, and nearly always with success. In a sea- son like the present one, when peaches promise to be a rarity, any scheme of carrying the fruit buds through the freezing weather is especially attract- ive. Prof. W. Paddock has recently reported the success of several grow- ers in various parts of Colorado who have been practicing this method. They find it profitable as a commer- cial venture. It looks like an {m- practicability, te be sure, to lay down and partially cover a fruiting tree every fall, but it has been shown re- peatedly that it is perfectly feasible. The expense is only about 10 or 15 cents a tree, and even a dozen good peaches will almost cover the cost.— Country Gentleman. Farm Notes. Slightly moisten commercial fertiliz- ers before sowing them on a windy day. This will prevent no inconsider- able loss, as the finer particles of avail- able plant food may be frequently blown long distances. This is a prac- tical point of great importance. The kind of crops and the manner of cultivation determine the profit. While some farmers barely subsist on a farm of a hundred acres, it is not difficult for others to make small farms of only ten acres pay. There are some sec- tions In which a twenty-acre farm is considered a large one, and yet such farms pay well and their owners are prosperous. A saving of labor may be made in the garden by frequently using the rake. Very young weeds may be easi- ly destroyed by passing the rake be tween the rows, while by allowing the weeds to remain until well rooted a hoe may be necessary. Economy of labor is in keeping: weeds and grass down as their seeds germinate, which renders the task easier. Sow some annual and biennial grasses with the perennials for perma- nent pasture, especially if the soil be wanting in richness and moisture. The perennials will make but little herbage for two or three years, because their first efforts are to establish strong roots. Annuals, on the contrary. make but little roots; their growth is chiefly above ground, and what re mains of them supplies some food ané shelter. A community of farms has many advantages which are not known where large farms are the rule. The farms are better cultivated and care¢ for, and the whole section -bears 2 more thrifty appearance. Neighbors are nearer, and generally of the most intelligent class, while roads are bet ter, and churches, schoolhouses, store: and other conveniences necessary tc the most advanced civilization are more numerous, which advantages car Farmers’ Wives anc the -ow The wives of the farmers of Mis- souri are getting so industrious and thrifty that it is becoming a question whether they or their husbands are contributing more to the prosperity of the State.

Here, for in- stance, is Mrs. Anna Gowin, of Pop- | lar Bluff, who, without, perhaps, being the champion dairy woman of the State, is doing an amount of business in this line sufficient to keep her and her husband comfortably without oth- er resources, “I kept account of the milk and butter we sold last year,” Mrs. Gowin writes to her mother, Mrs. W. H. Boulden, of Farber, “beginning the Ist of last May, and by the Ist of this month we had sold 2,190 gal- lons of milk and 1,439 pounds of but- ter. We got 25 cents a pound for all the butter and 10 cents a gallon for the milk. Charlie Dayault 1s always bragging about how much the Audrain | women sell, but I don’t think any of them can beat that on milk and but- ter.” Probably not. Mrs. Gowin's re- ceipts from milk and butter were $578.75, or almost $48.25 per month. They show how much the farmers of Missourl have lost by not giving the Missouri cow the chance and encour- agement she deserves.—Kansas City Journal. Using Bordeaux Mixture. As fruit growers become more famil- lar with the use of bordeaux mixture they more fully appreciate its value, although experiments during the past season demonstrate that it has been used stronger than is necessary ex- cept where the plants have been in- fested unusually bad. The most de- sirable formula is four pounds of cop- per sulphate and four pounds of un- slaked lime to forty gallons of water. Place the copper in an old bag and hang it in a few gallons of water un- til dissolved. The lime should be slaked and then strained into the cop- per solution, at the same time adding the balance of the water. When the mixture is to be used it should be kept stirred, so that the ingredients will be well mixed. As the mixture is given it is used mainly for scale, and when it is to be used on insects, such as po- tato bugs, paris green may be added at the rate of one pound to 150 gal- lons of the bordeaux.—St. Paul Dis. patch.

This arrangement allows the kettle to be swung off the fire easily at any moment, and without legs or anything under the kettle to interfere with building a fire. Such a hanger is easy to make, but should be made of only good, strong material and put up substantial or firm.—E. C. Beergisser, in Farm and Home. . The Ant Nuisance. Ant hillocks on lawns dull the lawn mower and injure the sod. Slaked lime or kerosene will drive most of them away, and a little bisulphide of carbon poured into each hillock and covered over with the loose earth will clear them out thoroughly. For ants in the house, rat poison in molasses ,will kill a lot of them, and the rest will take the hint and-leave. ; The New Road Material. Roadways of tar-macadam have been in successful use for some years in Southern Ontario. The cost is from one-third to one-half that of asphalt or vitrified brick, it is more enduring than either, and appears te stand well the wear and tear of heavy teaming. Leose Bolts, On plows, wheel holes, wagon frames and the like, where the jolt and strain comes directly against the bolt, it is hard to keep them tight. Take off the jolt and increase friction by using an iron washer with a leather washer un- der it. Turn very tight. Wheat for Eggs. Wheat contains a larger per cent of albumen than any other grain, and for this reason is one of the best grains to feed for egg production. It should not be made an exclusive ration, Low- ever.—_Commercial Powtry. |H oh, | RE Og. EHO. ip RON A delicate rice cake for dessert may be made as follows: Put a pint of cold, fresh milk In a saucepan over a hot fire. When it boils add a heaping cup of well-washed rice. Let the rice cook slowly in the milk for twenty minutes, then cool it in the saucepan for half and hour. Add six heaping table- spoonfuls of sugar, and stir them in well. Then add three whole eggs aw flavor with a tablespoonful of orangg flower water or orange extract. Box some good puff paste very thin, line a tin pudding would, holding about three pints, with the paste; add the rice with the eggs, sugar and flavoring, and put the pudding in a moderate oven to bake for forty minutes. Then cool the pudding, cover it with an icing and serve. This makes a firm cake, which should be well flavored with orange extract and garnished with a little acid jelly. The orange extract is made by soaking the yellow peel of a Calj- fornia orange in ninety per cent. alcohol for at least two weeks. Grate the peel into the alcohol or pack it in thin slices, and see that there is enough of it to fill the bottle completely. Stewed Prunes, Weigh out eight ounces of prunes. Look them over carefully, and soak over night. In the morning drain thoroughly, and cook in half a pint of water, with the yellow peel of a lemon, a two-inch piece of cinnamon, two tablespoonfuls of butter and four heap- ing tablespoonfulsof sugar. Simmer for twohoursslowly, and at the end of this time draw the saucepan forward and add a pint of claret wine. Set the prunes back on the stove to be thor- oughly heated. Stir well, but do not break them, and be careful not to let them boil again. Then turn them into a stone jar and boil when cold. ‘There is a great variety in the quality of the prunes offered in the market, but excellent ones, which. rival the best imported fruit, are now sent from Cali- fornia, Strawberry Shortcake. Mix thoroughly a quart of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking-powder, a Ilitle salt and a tablespoonful of sugar, and into this chop three tablespoonfuls of butter or butter and good sweet. lard mixed. Add one cupful of sweet milk and one well-beaten egg. Put together as quickly and with as little handling as possible. Roll into sheets one-half inch thick. Bake in a well-greased pan, laying one sheet on top’ of the other. As soon as baked separate them and spread between the crusts a thick ‘layer of well sweetened berries, also cover the top with berries. Serve with sugar and cream. Chis Oe Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter In a spider, when it bubbles add four large onions, washed, skinned and cut in slices, let them simmer without browning for about half an hour, then stir in a slightly heaping tablespoon. ful of flour. When it thickens pour in gradually a pint and a half of boil. ing milk, season with salt and pepper to taste, press through a puree sieve and return to the fire. While it 1s getting hot, beat together two egg yolks and half a cup of cream, remove from the stove and stir the eggs and cream into it rapidly, pour at once into the tureen and serve. Canned Corn. It is hard to can this vegetable so that it will keep well, unless it is put up with some other vegetables, as tomatoes or beans. But I give the recipe as requested. Put ripe corn on the fire In salted boiling water and cook for twenty minutes. Take from the fire and cut from the cob. Put into jars, cover the corn with the water in which it was boiled and set the jars over the fire in a broad pot or saucepan. Pour hot water all about the jars, bring it to a hard boil and seal at once. Keep in a dark place or else wrap the jars in dark paper. Rhubarb Brown Betty. Skin rhubarb and chop very fine. Put a thick layer in the bottom of a buttered pudding dish and strew this with a quantity of granulated sugar. Cover with fine breadcrumbs, dotted thickly with bits of butter. Put in more rhubarb, more sugar, then buttered crumbs and proceed in this way until the dish is full, having the top layer of buttered crumbs. Bake covered for about an hour, then un- cover and brown. Eat hot with sugar and cream or with a hard sauce flay- ored with nutmeg. Strawberry Pie. Line a pie plate with good paste, prick over with a fork to prevent shrinking and blistering; cut a top crust out a little larger than the other, prick also and bake; put the berries and sugar in the lower crust and cover with the top one. Serve with rich cream. The berries may be cooked in the ple, as you would make black. berry pie, if preferred. Tomato and Lettuce Salad. Do not remove the skin from your tomatoes by scalding but by carefully peeling them. Then cut into halves. Arrange on a cold dish the crispest lettuce leaves, lay half a tomato on each and scatter fincly crusted ice over all. Fill a pretty glass bowl with mayonnaise and in serving the salad pour a ladleful of dressing over each piece of tomato. G.

CHURCH OF THE FUTURE, z WwW hile in this. way religion builds a leaky condition, of when an army is in a precarious state, or when there is a sense of insecurity in business, the first thing to do is to find out the ex- tent of the damage. Know your prob- jem and then you may do something for its solution, Don’t walk up and down the deck calling out that the ves- sel’s all right when you can tell by the water line she’s slowly sinking. We have tried to state the true con- dition of things religiously in citiés, and we have pointed out the disturbing and disquieting features as they are. But we are no alarmists. I have not the least idea that the ship will sink or that the Lord’s army will be defeat- ed. I have confidence in God and the future. But he works by means and not without them, and if we let things drift we shall surely go on the rocks. What we need to do is with all cour- age and confidence undertake to rem- edy the evils that exist and arrest the tendencies which every serious thinker recognizes. What shall we attempt? The pro- phet in our text exhorts us not to build with untempered mortar, but to do thoroughly what we set out to per- form. Superficial remedies will not mect the needs of the hour. More robes for the clergy, vestments for choirs, stereopticons for preachers, or- chestras for worship and similar ap- pliances will not change the situation. There are churches where these things exist and where preaching has been minimized to the vanishing point, both in length and in strength, and where the congregations notwithstanding are meager and the spiritual gains imper- ceptible. Such details are purely a matter of taste or of ecclesiastical tradition. It was not the surplice that made Phillips Brooks a spiritual force, and the lack of a Genevian gown did not impair the pulpit power of Spurgeon. And the people are too intelligent to be drawn to church by the rustle of silk or the gleaming of lawn, and they are not likely to stay away because the minis- ter prefers to wear an ordinary frock coat. No; the efficiency of clergy and churches, believe me, is not an affair of dress or of special rites and cere- monies. We know that in the physical world a great deal depends on atmosphere. If the air is close, impure, overheated, we suffer, So also, the dominant spirit of a church goes far toward her real influence for good. Let doubt, cheer- lessness and general depression — pre- vail, and let the members be cold, stiff and exclusive, and naturally the out- side public will be repelled. Why car- ry our perplexities, sorrows and trials iuto an atmosphere surcharged with superciliousness, apathy and gloom? But let the representatives of religion be bright, joyous and by their mapner make the stranger feel that he is wel- come and that religion is really worth having, and the sanctuaries will be thronged. Remeniber the world progresses not ty the extraordinary but the ordinary; uot by a coup de theater, but by the natural and commonplace. The resus- citation of evangelical religion fn Amer- ‘a does not really call for scenic dis- jays, frenetic extravagances, fantas- ic, erratic or erotic beliefs, but sim- ply for the realization of the generous, warm-hearted, sympathetic and broth- erly spirit which it professes to in- culeate. ‘The church has a real mission. She ought to bring God and man closer to- gether, and man with man into fellow- ship, so that justice and righteousness may prevail. Never has she taken her- self seriously and brought things to pass without crowding her pews and blessing the whole community. But she can never meet the new age with small churehes open about six or seven hours in the week. Fifty years from now the drawing room and Sun- day houses of worship will belong to the past. There will come in their stead a new order of things. The pre- dominant type will be something like this: A massive building, large enough to be hospitable and where pew rents will be so reasonable that persons of mead cae taees im ae oe Sa also Darvin Aap oe were a and open to all.

Sunday services will com- mand the best in the way of music and scholarship, and yet the music will not degenerate into concerts or the scholar- ship into pedantry and dullness, The afternoon will be given up to children for social instruction, aided by the stereopticon and singing, and where the lectures shall deal with natural as well as revealed religion.

While in this way religion builds up itself, as a social factor, it must con- cern itself with civic matters. She must stand for municipal purity and efficiency, and not withhold her out- spoken support from those who are leg- islating to protect women and children from the ravages of commercial greed. Never should she forget that she is dealing with human nature and not with angelic nature. Here she stands on her own ground and demonstrates her value to society, and when the church is thus primarily the guardian of humanity, humanity will see to it that her influence shall never decline. church is thus primarily the guardian of humanity, humanity will see to it that her influence shall never decline. THREE PICTURES OF JESUS. By Rev. H P. Nichols. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.—Luke ii., 52, The scripture is almost wholly silent on the early life of Jesus Christ. The circumstances of his birth are given with detail, the visit of the shepherds. and the wise men, the presentation in the temple, the massacre of the inno- cents, and the flight into Egypt. Then for twelve years silence, and we see the*matured boy again up to the great feast of his people. Then again silence for eighteen years more—a silence Il- lumined by only two allusions found in the biography of his three years’ ministry. “Is not this the carpenter's son?” “As his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day.” Jesus Christ died a young man, and thirty years of his youth are un- written, save one week at the age of 12 and two retrospective incidental hints. e There are three pictures suggested to us in these unrecorded years—Jesus in his home, Jesus at worship, Jesus at the carpenter's bench. Jesus in his home. That home was Nazareth, a quiet town isolated among | the hills. Mary, the mother, sweetest HRs of womanhood, kept aloof from its roughness, guiding her household, “cherishing the sweet mystery of her _boy’s birth. Joseph, gentle, quiet, fath- erly, protected and cared for the little ‘home. And Jesus, growing in height to manly vigor, growing in wisdom jot mind and heart, growing in favor —the love of God, the love of the child- ren in the market place, the love of beasts and birds and flowers on the steep slopes of the village. Jesus at worship. Every Sabbath he, with his household, attended the plain little synagogue. At the proper age he went up to Jerusalem for the great- er worship, a narrative preserved for lus in striking detail by St. Luke's | graphic pen. In his father's temple scents to have come to him the first | deep breath of the divine tragedy and triumph in which he was to be hero and conqueror, Jesus at the carpenter’s bench. His fellow townsmen cried in contempt: “Is not this the carpenter?’ Their scoff is his glory; the carpenter is the world’s Savior. A pious bishop in the middle ages prayed often to God that it might be manifested to him what Jesus did in his youth. Then the bishop had a dream. He saw a car- penter working at his trade and a little boy beside him gathering chips. Then came forth a maiden clothed in green, who called them to their meal, and set porridge before them. And the bishop stood looking from behind the door. Then the little boy said: “Shall not the man eat with us?’ The glimpse of that reality is better than all the medieval fancies of Madonnas and Ameoles, Three unrecorded lessons are sug- gested to us from these thirty years of the maturing life of Jesus, the Son of God—lessons most ennobling for hu- man living. The first; the family is divine. The Son of God for thirty years was a child, a dutiful son, a brother, a mem- ber of a home. Home comes to be the dearest word of human life; home comes to mean heaven. The hardest place to be good is in the family; there is no escape from the family table; there seems nothing big or noble in family righteousness. Jesus proved family life to be the best school for ripening divinity. Nothing is more true in theology than that in these family years Jesus was saving the world, even by living through these closest relations of life and making them beau- tiful. Then it was the great work of the second Adam was done rather than in one transcendent moment on the cross; then it was that by one man's obedience many were made righteous; then it was God came among men in the glorious, cheerful, dutiful life this one boy lived on to his manhood. We may not follow Jesus in all his minis- tratians, as he teaches and heals and suffers a martyr’s death; we may share the yet more effectual means of recoy- ering God's children to their heavenly father, by self-forgetful, self-sacrificing home living. , TR SE a ae, Warm fresh milk to almost boiling point, stir in as much pastry flour as will turn out clean from the bowl, without leaving anything adhering to the sides.

ADVENTURES OF YOUNG LADS SMITTEN eG WITH A DESIRE TO SEE THE WORLD. * HEROIC attempt to have a vacatioa at all cost was made by a cer- tain boy, whose experience is related in Chums. He joined a circus with the intention of becoming @ lion-tamer; but there was no va- caney in that department, and before he made up his mind what else he would like to do, the circus people worked him in as “tent man.” He had to help to put up and take down the great tents at each stopping place. Incidentally, he worked all the rest of the time at odd jobs. The circus men, in fact, found him so useful that they locked him up in an empty leopard cage each night, in order that, after having been kept at work ali day by a rope’s end, ne might not have a chance to abandon his circus eareer after dark. Ultimately, the boy hid for twenty-four hours in a disused 'ime- kiln in ‘one of tie towng he yisited, and finished his outing by giving him- self up to the police authorities in order to be sent home. Not long ago an American boy, thinking that a vacation spent on his uncle’s farm was likely to be without adventure, stowed himself away and journeyed a long distance on the buffers of a freight train. He thought he had done a rather fine thing, but the railway people held a different opinion. “It’s our turn now,” they said. Then they explained to him that to send him back again would cost three dollars, and he already owed them three dollars for the trip down. So he was taken to the machine shops and directed to earn six dollars by filing tubing smooth. A watchman was deputed to keep a fatherly eye on him after hours. The new hand managed to write to his people; but, very wisely, they agreed that to “serve his time,” might teach him a useful lesson, so they paid no ransom. It took the boy nearly three weeks to file his way to liberty. At a harbor of Continental Europe, in which a submarine war vessel was undergoing tests, a third young adventurer was smitten with a desire to become a “stowaway.” He was continually begging one of the crew, whom he knew, to smuggle him on board. At last, after a quiet little talk with the boy's father, the sailor consented. In the dusk of evening the boy arrived at the meeting place appointed, close to the sea. “We must blindfold you,” said the sailor. This was ,done, and then the boy was led about here and there for some time, between two grinning mariners, and watched by a grinning parent. When he was thoroughly dazed, he was pushed into & narrow, cold metal apartment, and cautioned to keep perfectly still until some one came for him. “And mind you keep that bandage on till you're told to take it off,” added the sailor. The boy waited—for hours, it seemed to him—hardly daring to breathe, but trying to think that he was having © zreat time. Then he took off the bandage, he was in total darkness. More hours went by, and no one came back for him. He was now not only hungry, and cold, but also frightened. No sound reached him. Was he really alone in the submarine boat in the depths of the sea? No he was not. At 1 o'clock in the morning his father, still smiling, rescued him from an old ship’s iron cistern, in which he had been imprisoned on the beach. The submarine boat and her crew had, in the meantime, been towed away to another seaport; but the boy was no longer interested in a seafaring life.

Graham County Jail, at Clifton, Ariz., is probably the most unusual in America. It comprises four large apartments, hewn in the side of a hill of solid quartz rock. The entrance to the jail Is through a boxlike vestibule, built of heavy masonry and equipped with three sets of gates of steel bars. Here and there in the rocky walls holes have been blasted for windows, and in these apertures a series of massive bars of steel have been fitted firmly in the rock. The floor of the rockbound jail is of cement, and the prisoners are confined wholly in the larger apartments. In some places the wall of quartz about the jail is fifteen feet thick. Some of the most desperate crim- jnals on the southwest border have been confined in the Clifton jail, and so solid and heavy are the barriers to escape that no one there has ever attempted a break for freedom. ‘The notorious Black Jack was there for months. Clifton is one of the great copper mining camps in Arizona, and has the reputation of being as depraved a community as yet exists on the frontier of civilization. In summer the mercury there frequently rises to 120 in the shade, and in the winter it never goes below 40 degrees.

MODESTY OF THE TRULY GREAT How Gladstone and Darwin Regarded Themselves. In “Studies in Contemporary Biogra- phy,” which James Bryce has just published, are two stories which have caused some of the critics to express astonishment at the “modesty of the great,” says an exchange. The stories are these: Meeting Mr. Gladstone in the lobby, and seeing his face saddened by the troubles in Ireland, Mr. Bryce tried to divert his thoughts by mentioning a recent discovery—to wit: that Dante had been saved frem want in his last years by a lectureship at Ravenna. Mr. Gladstone's face lit up at once, and he said: “How strange it is to think that these great souls, whose works are 4 beacon light to all the generations that have come after them, should have had cares and anxieties to vex them in their daily life, just like the rest of us com- mon mortals,” “The words reminded me,” adds the author, “that a few days before I had WE CONTINUE TO WARN THE BENEVOLENT PUBLIC AGAINST THE NUMEROUS BEGGARS FOR ALLEGED CHARITABLE INSTiTU- TIONS IN BEHALF OF THE NEGRO RACE.

One of the strangest freaks in elec- trical phenomena ever reported oc- curred in Northern California recently. During the day the thermometer had fallen, and about four o'clock there was a slight fall of snow. There had been no thunder or lightning during the day. Suddenly and without warn. ing, from what appeared a clear spot in the heavy bank of clouds overhead, a brilliant ball of fire shot from the sky and struck the ground on a farm about two miles east of Anderson, a small hamlet. The illumination was plainly visible in Redding, thirteen miles distant. A few seconds after the descent of the fire ball there was a loud report, lke a mighty explo- sion. The shock was felt in Redding, where windows rattled and houses shook. In the village of Anderson the people were panic-stricken. Glass In windows was broken, walls were cracked, houses rocked as though tossed by an earthquake, and tele phone, telegraph and electric Nght wires were put out of action for a time. ie ieee NXNEW——— TONSORIAL PARLORS, : eee Second to None in the World. | Visitors to the city and those who appreciate Cleanliness, Elegance and Comfort should Baton 6 Slaughter’s Turf Hotel Tonsorial Parlors, E 217 Wells Street, Milwaukee.

The resistance of the air to moving bodies of various shapes has been tested by M. Canovetti by attaching each form to a enrriage sliding down a wire 400 yards long, one of whose ends was 75 yards higher than the other. From the time made with and without the load the resistance was calculated. It was shown that more power was necessary for driving an aeroplane through the air than for propelling an automobile of equal weight along a road, and that the weight of engine necessary must make this form of airship impracticable.

FOUGHT BIG PORPOISES. Men in a Boat Killed a Monster Fish in the Sound. James Plant and George Porter had a terrific fight on Long Island sound with two monster porpoises. When they countered the fish they were about two miles off shore. The fish attacked the men, and there was a fierce battle for half an hour. Finally Porter struck one of the fish a heavy blow with a boathook. The porpoise sank beneath the surface, and its body soon came to the surface. The other porpoise swam away. The men tied a rope around the dead fish and pulled for the shore. Swarms of smaller fish followed them, they said, and at times it was feared they would capsize the boat. The porpoise was finally pulled on shore. It was 13 feet long and weighs over 800 pounds. A Woman's Back. Dublin, Mich., June 29.—To the many women who suffer with weak back and pains and tired feelings in the small of the back, the experience of Mrs. Fred Chalker of this place will be interesting and profitable. Mrs. Chalker had suffered a very great deal with these back pains and although she had tried many things, she could find nothing that would relieve her. The pain kept on in spite of all she could do. At last she chanced to read the story of another lady who had suffered with the backache, and said she had been cured by a remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Mrs. Chalker thought she would try the same thing. After the first two boxes had been taken according to directions, she began to feel some better, and she kept on till at last she was cured. Her pains are all gone, and she is very grateful. She says: "Dodd's Kidney Pills helped me greatly, and I will always recommend them as a cure for Pain in the Back." A speed of 40,000 words an hour was reached in a recent test of the Pollak and Virag system of telegraphy between Berlin and Frankfort, Germany.

R Some sensible advice to women passing through this trying period. The painful and annoying symptoms experienced by most women at this period of life are easily overcome by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It is especially designed to meet the needs of woman's system at the trying time of change of life. It is no exaggeration to state that Mrs. Pinkham has over 5000 letters like the following proving the great value of her medicine at such times. "I wish to thank Mrs. Pinkham for what her medicine has done for me. My trouble was change of life. Four years ago my health began to fail, my head began to grow dizzy, my eyes pained me, and at times it seemed as if my back would fail me, had terrible pains across the kidneys. Hot flashes were very frequent and trying. A friend advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I have taken six bottles of it and am to-day free from those troubles. I cannot speak in high enough terms of the medicine. I recommend it to all and wish every suffering woman would give it a trial." — BELLA Ross, 88 Montclair Ave., Roslindale.

Emergencies in Which Men's Self-Possession Deserts Them. It is a curious thing, and one that remains a standing puzzle even to those connected with the business all their lives, that tightrope, trapeze and other daring performers who chiefly work in the open air at galas and so on are far more liable to sudden nerve failure and to "stage freight," if it may be so called, than are their fellows who only show their prowess under a roof. Another fact equally well known is that once a woman performer has heard the ringing shouts of an applauding public, once she has learned some dangerous feat, she will run risks and quite fearlessly perform tricks that no male in the same line would ever dream of. The woman athlete has not to be urged on; she has to be restrained, more often than not. It may be said at once that few among the public know how near death such people occasionally are. As illustrating both the facts stated above the writer can never forget a woman tightrope walker whose rope had been left too slack. She was performing at a great height and when she got to a certain distance along the rope the latter sagged so that she could neither advance nor retire. The public knew nothing of the danger till the manager in an agony tried to get two immense ladders, tied together, up to the rope. But this arrangement fell short, and even if it had not done so no one would have dared to rest it against the swaying rope. At last the ladders were held bodily upright by strong men till the topmost rung just touched the rope, and then a gallant young fellow, a sailor, went up while the ladders swayed about as though in a breeze. He snatched the woman on the rope and held her, just as she fainted and dropped the balancing pole.—Tit-Bits. Romany Blood The late Charles Godfrey Leland, author of the "Hans Breitmann" ballads, had a passion for studying the race of gypsies, and at the same time great human sympathy with them. The fact that he was the greatest living authority on the gypsy tongue and customs gave him little pleasure compared with the delight of being hailed as brother by gypsy horse traders at English fairs and gypsy musicians in Russia and Austria. One day, in Philadelphia, he met three dark men whom he knew to be of an ancient stock. He was quite sure that they could speak a language which contained roots of Sanscrit, Hindoo and Persian. Yet they would make no display of it. They would, like all their race, deny all knowledge of it as well as the fact of their gypsy blood. He addressed them in Italian, and they answered fluently. He changed to obscure tongues of the east, and again they replied. "Have you got through all your languages?" he inquired, at last. "Yes, signor, all of them." "Isn't there one left behind, which you have forgotten? Think a minute." "No, signor, none." "What, not one?" "Signor, you have seen every egg in the basket." Leland looked the man fixedly in the eye, and put a question in Romany. There was a startled glance from one to the other, and then a silence. He asked them, again in Romany, "Won't you talk with a gypsy brother?" That opened the gates. They shook his hands in great emotion, and tried to tell him how happy they were in having met someone who knew them.—Youth's Companion. A Norse Hat Saga. A felt hat blew off a tourist's head last year as he was leaning out of a railway train window, in Sweden. Of the man himself nothing further is known, but the felt hat has become famous all over the north of Europe. An employee of the line picked up the hat where it lay, and being an honest man, he tried high and low to find its owner. Finally, all local efforts failing, he ticketed it and sent it to the next station, to be claimed by the owner. No such person appeared, and the hat was sent on from station to station, an additional ticket being stuck on each time it set out. Thus it has run through the whole of Sweden and Norway, has been at Upsala and Trondhjem, at Christiania and Goteborg and Malmo, has been sent on to Zealand and Finland and is now being sent through the north of Germany, covered with labels inside and out. And if it is no longer fit for headgear, it is at all events a remarkable monument of northern honesty and perseverance.—Westminster Gazette. American Tools in Germany. For high-grade work, requiring great precision and excellence there is to be found in nearly every leading machine shop in Germany a group of American tools—a silent tribute to the remarkable position held in the world today by the American machine tool's work. KEEP A SNAKE TO CATCH MICE. In Manila the Reptile Performs a Cat's Duties. "I imagine keeping a snake in the house to fill a cat's duties. That is what they do in Manila," says an American woman who has just returned from spending a year in the Philippines with her journalist husband. "The first night I spent in our own home was hot and smothering, so I lay wide awake, hoping for a breeze. Suddenly I heard a strange noise overhead. Manila houses are built of bamboo and are about as substantial as a bandbox, so one hears every rustle. I had listened to the scamper of a rat overhead, then came a queer noise like a stealthy slide. The rat gave a shriek of agony. I could hear the last of the snake's tail and a terrible scrimmage all over the thin floor. They seemed to be rolling over each other and the snake was swallowing the rat. I heard it as distinctly as if I could see it. I shrieked louder than the rat had done, and in a moment every Chinese boy in our establishment was in my room to see what had happened. Before I left Manila I grew as accustomed to finding a house snake on my floor as if it had been a cat. The house pests of the Philippines drive an American woman to distraction. Lizards are everywhere; you find them in your bed, in the dishes in the pantry, clinging to your gowns or napping in your bureau drawers. Some are no bigger than the chameleons we used to pet; others are a foot long. Ants of every size and sort simply inhabit everything you own. Every good housekeeper in Manila keeps the feet of her dining table standing in pots of oil. If you did not take that precaution one would be eating ants in every dish served."—Good Housekeeping. Supreme Court Sustains the Foot-Ease Trade-Mark. Buffalo, N. Y., June 26.—The Supreme Court has ordered a permanent injunction, with costs, and a full accounting of sales, to issue against Paul B. Hudson, the manufacturer of the foot powder called "Dr. Clark's Foot Powder," and also against a retail dealer of Brooklyn, restraining them from making or selling the Dr. Clark's Foot Powder, which is declared, in the decision of the court, an imitation and infringement of "FOOT-EASE," the powder to shake into your shoes, now so largely advertised and sold all over the country. Allen S. Olmsted, of Le Roy, N. Y., is the owner of the trade-mark, "FOOT-EASE." and he is the first individual who ever advertised a foot powder extensively over the country. The decision in this case upholds his trade-mark and renders all parties liable who fraudulently attempt to profit by the extensive "FOOT-EASE" advertising, in placing upon the market a spurious and similar appearing preparation, labeled and put up in envelopes and boxes like FOOT-EASE. Similar suits will be brought against others who are now infringing on the FOOT-EASE trade-mark and common law rights. Countiy and City Boys Changing Places. For years the country boys have been deserting the farms for the village, the town boys have been winning success in the cities, and the city boys have been making their mark in the metropolis. The process, however, threatens to leave the farm without its workmen. As the urban population which must be fed from the farms increases, the tillers of the soil become fewer in number and poorer in quality. Those who remain to care for the crops have one fault which the city dweller is quick to notice. The worker somehow does not put the spirit into his tasks that the eight-hour-day man in town exhibits. The city boy grows up in an atmosphere of hustle. With his ability to make every moment count, the city-bred man may get out of a farm immeasurably more than the average rural resident. Agricultural schools and a business instinct and training are not bad substitutes for farm breeding; and it will not be surprising if the next few years witness an exodus of city-bred workmen, filled with spirit and speed, to the districts which produce the original matter for all the breakfast foods.—Roy E. Downer in Booklovers' Magazine. "Old Wine" Theory Exploded. There is hardly a man who does not believe that old wine is the best wine yet a short time ago some cases of claret were sold in London at $25 a bottle, of the famous "Comet" vintage of 1811, and the wine was found to be utterly worthless. It was simply worn out with age. Wine experts and wealthy connoisseurs had come from great distances to buy the wine at any price, and were edified upon opening it, to find it as flat as soda water. In the same way, not long since, a quantity of hock from the cellars of a country house, of the year preceding Napoleon's retreat from Moscow, fetched $20 per bottle, and was found to have lost everything except its color.

Survivors of the Rebellion Relate Many Amusing and Startling Inci- dents of Marches, Camp Life, Forag- ing Experieuces and Battle Scenes. NT eae ne ee Te) eo Sent eS eee, ES = a war style habit was pure obstinacy. Most of the soldiers returned to civil life with an ill-concealed contempt for many of the convieniences of polite | society, and I did not expect this class to yleld to any demand of fashion. “This theory of mine would not hold water. I found many of the general officers of the old volunteer army fa- vorites in society, and still they clung to their beards. I found many of the senior officers in the regular army al- ways proud of their social standing clinging to the full beard, and I came to the conclusion that general ané colo- nel and eaptain and private who wore full beards were influenced consciously or unconsciously by association with the events of the civil war. When the Cleveland administration came in, with j its beardless President and its beard- less Secretary of State, I expected to see the generals at least yield a point. They did not. “I mght have accounted for this on i theory of stubbornness again, but the rule would not work. In fact, I have framed a dozen rules to apply to the situation, and none of them fits the case. The full beard so common in the | army during the war 1s still worn by a majority of those who participated, | and yet there are thousands who bore a leading part in the war whose faces are smooth and who are as much con- trolled by sentiment as those who wear a full beard. General Crook, one of our greatest Indian fighters, wore a full beard to the last. General Miles, also a great Indian fighter, has not worn a beard for years. | “General Crook’s beard was asso- elated in the minds of soldiers with ‘some of the most daring enterprises ‘and some of the most highly colored adventures of the war. It was associ- ated in the minds of the Indians and of the Western frontiersmen with per- sistence, courage and tenacity of pur- pose. It would have been convenient for him, in his long campaigns, to have had that beard shorter. There were times in the hurried rides and charges when it had to be tied or braided to | keep it out of the way, but he wore it | to the end, although the barber who performed the last services after his death trimmed it, and I remember well that when a man who had followed | Crook in e dozen campaigns came to | the casket, looked down on the face of | the old general and saw his beard trimmed, he said: ‘Why couldn’t they have let it alone? He associated that | long, full beard, as did the Indians, with some of the great exploits in Western campaigns.” “Certainly,” said the Captain, “no one is complaining about the old sol- diers wearing full beards. I think my- self they would look better if some of them had them trimmed. I concede, however, that they have a right to wear them as they please, and I think the people very generally feel that way. The clinging to the long beard with many of these old veterans Is like a fixed habit of mind. It is a sort of principle. They do not want to make themselves conspicuous. They do not care much for what they call style. But they do care for the associations of old army life. Some of them re- gard the full beard very much as they do the slouch hat of army days. I know men of the highest social stand- ing whe have money to buy what they wish who go into a hat store and prow] | around until they find hats that look like the hats they wore in the army. | “No one can quite understand this except the soldier. The pictures of | army life are full of men with full beards. I remember in one of the | battles, in which our regiment -was roughly handled, the colonel’s horse was shot and the two went down. The boys thought the colonel was dead and they began to waver. Suddenly thers came an order that was like a roar The men turned their heads, saw the colonel struggling to get up. Still or all fours, he looked, with his full, red beard and his heavy head of turning hair, like a raging lion. He could no get up, but, crouching there like a lion, he roared out his orders that brough the men around him. Sitting on th ground, wrathful and furious, he lit erally drove those men into the ver; faces of the enemy. Now, you cat never get that picture out of the mind: of the men who made that terrific fight. They may remember Colonel En yart in a dozen different moods, not al of them to his credit, but they wil never forget the time when he looked with his tawny hair and beard, like : lion in.a fight. “When General Stanley came to th command of our division he wore th finest and the longest beard in th Army of the Cumberland. The boy did not like him for his disposition t ‘| march men at the speed of cavalry, an they began to make sport of that lon; | beard. One day, in an unexpected fight of the situation and he showed it, and after that there were no criticisms of Stanley from the ‘foot cavalry.’” “My recollection of the full-bearded general,” said the doctor, *is of Grant, Sherman, McPherson, Thomas and Sess. Their beards, however, were not like those of Stanley and Crook. They were usually trimmed to the style now in vogue with most of the | veterans. For example, General Bates | wears his beard cut to the standard of Grant and Thomas, while scores of the veterans cling to style made notable by officers like Stanley and Crook. But the bearded man was not always the center of the great war pictures. There was Logan in front of Atlanta, McClel- Jan in front of Richmond, Hooker on Lookout Mountain. Lincoln wore a beard and Stanton a heavy one, but Seward had a smooth face. “Of the Presidents after Lincoln, Grant, Hayes and Garfield were beard- ed men, but not one of them was more stubborn than Johnson, Cleveland or McKinley, who did not wear beards. Of the Confederate Generals, Lee, Longstreet and Gordon were bearded men, but Bureaugard, who took the initiative at Charleston, wore no beard. My own theory about the beards of old soldiers is that the boys cling to the full beards through disinclination to break away from army associations and habits. Many of them have never shaved. The beards they wear to-day date from their enlistment in the army, when, as beardless boys, they turned their backs on the old life and groped their way through bewildering expe- riences to reach the standard of the best soldiers in the world.”—Chicago Inter Ocean. Captain Christian Rath. Captain Christian Rath, of Detroit, is a remarkable man. He served his country from 1862 to 1865, and closed his military career by hanging the four conspirators condemned to death for the murder of Abraham Lincoln. For this he was breveted Major and Lieutenant-Colonel of United States Volunteers. It has been generally un- derstood that Captain Rath hanged Wirz, the notorious governor of the prison pens at Andersonville. He de- nies this, however, with fine scorn and the characteristic remark: “I would have spit on Wirz, but I wouldn’t have hanged him. He was too low.” Captain Rath is rather small in stat- ure, but not at all insignificant. He is, moreover, a well-built soldier, with clear-cut, resolute features, and a round, neatly trimmed, Grant-like beard. In fact, he bears quite a facial resemblance to the great Commander. Captain Rath’s eyes are bright and keen, his manner quick and neryous, and he likes to talk, although he ob- jects to being interviewed. “I could sit and talk about those people for a whole day,” said he to a correspondent. “I know enough about them to fill volumes. You see, there weren’t so many reporters then as there are now, and there was so much excitement and so many things to write about that many things were ‘missed or crowded out which would make excellent reading. I had charge of those prisoners through their en- tire confinement, and at the last super- intended their execution, so I had a good opportunity to study them. I al- ways regarded Herold as an unthink- ing boy—spoiled child. He was a great sportsman, though, fond of shooting, and the owner of a splendid pointer dog. We kept the dog for him in the Gen. Longstreet and myself were pres- ent in the room when the formal sur- render took place at Appomattox, as was also Col. Marshall. The account, therefore, which states that only Col. Marshall was present is incorrect. The apple-tree incident is a romance. No surrender tcok place except in the room of the McLean house. The only connection of the surrender with the apple tree is the fact that Gen. Lee and Gen. Grant met there for a few moments and agreed upon the place for formal meeting. Probably the most appropriate inscription you could place on the piece of wood would be to the effect that it was taken from the apple tree near which Gens. Lee and Grant met prior to the surrender. With be%t wishes, I am sincerely yours, | “J. B. GORDON.” War Prices. Toward the close of the war, dur- ing the years of 1864 and 1865, the plainest texture of Southern manufac- ture was sold at an almost incredu- lous high price. Southern calico was very coarse and sleazy! but at this time it sold for $30 per yard. Aside from the fact that few could afford to purchase it, homespun goods were really preferred by many. All grades of these goods would be found at the ‘stores, but those desiring really nice dresses prepared the material and had it woven, if possible, at their homes. All the ancestry an’ family trees an’ blue blood royal on earth cayn’t keep a woman's heart from floppin’ jest the way it wants to flop. They all descend- ed from Eve, an’ when she was a sky- larkin’ around Eden in short skirts she tuck the man of her choice—but, come to think of it, my argument's bad, fer men was as scarce then as winter clothes was; thar was only one two-legged creature, an’ she owed ’im fer a rib. That trouble has kept up to the present day. Women are too dependent on men to be independent. —Will N. Harben, in “The Substitute.” Diocletian lived in retirement rather than exile after his abdication. He was born at Salona, in Dalmatia, and after laying down the reins of empire he removed to that place, where he had a palace whose magnificence still astonishes the antiquarian. He lived for eight years after his abdication, and was highly esteemed by the people of his native province. TEMPERANCE TALKS. THE RUM TRAFFIC SHOULD BE SUPPRESSED. —_ Dangers that Always Lurk in the Flowing Bowl-How Bright and Influential Men Have Been Dragged Down by the Demon Drink. The French government has com- nenced a crusade against alcohol. One of the means used is the placing of '1 placard on the doors of the different oublic buildings in Paris, the purport of which is a warning to*topers. The following is a translation of the plac- ard: “Alcoholism is chronic poisoning, due to the habit of drinking spirits, even though such indulgence does not lead :o unruly drunkenness or even tipsi- aess. It is a mistake to say that al- cohol is of service to men engaged in work that puts a strain upon the nuscles, or that it gives heart to the workman and enables him to with- stand fatigue. The artificial excite- ment it gives rise to is soon followed oy nervous depression and weakness. The truth is that alcohol is of no use | <0 anyone, and is injurious to everyone ‘who drinks it. The habit of drinking spirits rapidly leads to alcoholism, or ‘the alcoholic state. But the drinks | ‘lassed as hygienic also contain alcohol. The only difference is in the quantity taken at a time. The man who im- ibes often these drinks becomes after some time as certainly alcoholic, as if ‘he drank spirits. The so-called aper- tive drinks (absinthe, vermouth, bit- ters), the aromatic liqueurs (mint, juni- per, meadow-sweet, ete., extracts) are the most ruinous to health of all, they containing, besides alcohol, essences that are rank poison. “The habit of toping wrecks the home, destroys family life, the health, the sense of duty, brings on a splenetic lisgust for work, and poverty and crime. Its least evil is to lead aleo- holized workmen to the hospital, for alcohol is the parent of many diseases n their worst form—of paralysis, epi- epsy, madness, affections of the liver and stomach, and dropsy. It 1s the most common source of tuberculosis, and it so aggravates typhoid fever, pneumonia and erysipelas that any of these diseases kill off the habitual toper, though a sober man would only suffer from a mild attack. “The alcoholic state into which drunkard or toper falls is visited on nis children. If the latter survive the 2arly months of infancy, they are threatened with idiocy, epilepsy, or, should their lives be spared beyond nfancy, with tubercular meningitis or consumption. Alcoholism is one of the most terrible enemies of the toper and his family.” Ont af the Dentha. Dut of the midnight, rayless and cheer less, Into the morning’s golden light; Out of the clutches of wrong and ruin, Into the arms of truth and right; Out of the ways that are ways of sor row, Out of the paths that are paths of pain, Yea, out of the depths has a soul arisen, And “one that was lost is found again.” Lost in the sands of an awful desert, Lost in the region of imps accursed, With bones of victims to mark his path way, And burning lava to quench his thirst; Lost in the darknéss, astray in the shad ows; Father above, do we pray in vain? Hark! on the winds come gleeful tidings, Lo! he was lost, but is found again. Found! and the sunlight of God's great merey Dispels the shadows, and brings the morn; Found! and the hosts of the dear Re deemer Are shouting aloud o’er a soul new born— Plucked, like a brand, from the confla gration, Cleaned, like a garment, free from stain, Baved, pray God, for ever and ever; Lost for a season, but found again. “Out of the depths” by the grace o! heaven, Out of the depths of woe and shame And he blots his name from the roll o drunkards, To carve it again on the heights o: fame. “Wine is a mocker, and strong drink raging;” Glory to God, he has snapped the chai Yhat bound him with fetters of stee and iron, And he that was lest is found again. Down with the cup, though it glean like rubies! Down with the glass, though it spark! and shine! “It bites like a serpent and stings lik an adder,” There is woe, and sorrow, and sham in wine. Keen though the sword be, and deadl, its mission, Three times its number the wine-cu has slain. God, send Thy grace unto those it ha fettered— God grant the lost may be foun again! —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Alcohol in Wine. Two of our finest California wines sontain six tablespoonfuls of alcohol in 1 pint. One much vaunted American wine has a little over eight tahlespoon- tuls of pure alcehol in one pint. One French wine, imported and much ad- rertised, contains five tablespoonfuls »f-aleohol to a pint. The highest wine, 4 California brand, contains four ta ‘lespoonfuls of alcohol to a pint.— ‘Medical Record. 3 aes I Why Suffer from Disease? s s Robinson's Alfalfa-Nutrient Positively cures Rheumatism, Locomotor-Ataxia, all Stomach, Liver and Kidney Troubles and all Nerve and Blood Dis- eases.
