WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE [Name not visible in the image] VOLUME V. [Name] DR. FENWICK AND HIS DETRACTOR. Rev. Dr. Fenwick of St. Mark's A. M. E. church, because he is a strong man—a man who will lead instead of being led, has had a hard battle to fight with a small minority of his congregation ever since he was appointed to the charge. But, in spite of every possible obstacle thrown in his way in his endeavors for the building up of the church, which building up was very much required, and in spite of the fact that his success in this has been very marked, this same minority have done everything possible to cause him annoyance, and obstruct him in his work. Mr. Fenwick has gone to the highways, the bye-ways, and the hedges in his endeavors to raise the careless or the fallen and to bring them in, but his aggressiveness did not meet with the approval of certain officials and members of his congregation, who had been accustomed to run the church to suit themselves, and this, although the success of the doctor has been phenomenal. The latest instance of what we can only term diabolical and malignant persecution, is to be found in the following paragraph sent to an Iowa newspaper, inspired it is well known by whom, and intended (first) to wound the pastor in his most tender relationship and which Id cause immeasurable grief to an innocent young soul, and (second), to endeavor to influence the decision of the Des Moines conference in regard to the reverend gentleman's reappointment to St. Mark's. That the reporters in Milwaukee should be so easily induced to publish a story before satisfying themselves of its truth, does not say much for their good judgment. The paragraph, which is as follows, is made out of whole cloth and has been refuted in every particular: Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 14.—[Special.] An odd battle will be fought to a finish at Des Moines, September 16, when the case of the Rev. L. M. Fenwick, colored doctor, and patron of a saloonkeeper, comes before the Methodist conference for this district of the African Methodist church. The members of St. Mark's church, Milwaukee, will demand that the bishop discipline their pastor at the Des Moines conference, or at least remove him to some other charge. And the cause of it all is that he has been guilty of appending his name to an application of Brother Cox, one of his parishioners, for a saloon license. The preacher and saver of souls did not approve of the application in his pastoral character, but as a medical man. Now the members of his church are angry that he should have, as they call it, disgraced the church. Mr. Fenwick, by the way, is pastor of a congregation whose house of worship was formerly owned by a brewery, which bought the property from a poverty-stricken Lutheran congregation and sold to the colored churchmen at a considerable profit. The preacher's excuse is that he would prefer that the corner opposite his church be occupied by a colored man with a saloon, than by a white man in the same business, as it was sure to be a saloon anyhow. That this is so, and that it may be known that we do not speak without knowledge, may be gathered from the following preamble and resolution, drawn up by the secretary of the church, Mrs. Alice Bland, which were unanimously adopted at the close of last Sunday evening's service and signed by all the members of deacons and deaconesses and stewards and stewardess board next evening. We predict that after the DesMoines conference the minority 'disgruntled members will hide their diminished heads and we trust that they will then come to a better frame of Christian spirit, seeing the error of their ways, and instead of tying the hands of their pastor hold them up and strengthen and support him in his endeavors to do his Master's work: Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 23, 1903.—At the close of the services at the St. Mark's A. M. E. church Sunday night the following preamble and resolutions were offered: Whereas, in the providence of God we have been so wonderfully blessed both in the temporal and spiritual affairs of the church, and, whereas we feel that in the person of our present pastor, Rev. Dr. Fenwick, the church has a faithful and true leader, and the community a worthy example of Christian worth and merit, therefore, be it resolved, that we as members and friends greatly appreciate and approve of his work in our midst, believing that no matter what may be said to the contrary by our enemies, that our pastor is a true Christian and full of Christian zeal and energy for the work, and be it further resolved that we pledge him our fullest support, approving of his every move and indorsing his work in full. And whereas a few disaffected members have caused to be published in the city papers a report that our pastor is a patron of a saloon and that he favors licensing the same, we do not know how to find words to express our indignation at the treatment accorded the pastor by such disgruntled members. We repudiate with scorn the implication that our pastor has at any time or place sanctioned the legalizing of the liquor traffic. To show his stand taken on the liquor question, we herewith subjoin a few extracts taken from his sermon Sunday night, April 26: "Its legalized existence is the social and moral and political pestilence which walketh in darkness, and the destruction which wasteth at noonday. Its blight and moral mildew are seen and felt as the curse upon the purity of the home, in the management of our municipal, state and national governments, and as the one greatest hindrance to the progress of our Christian civilization. In a word, it continues to pollute our homes, destroy our manhood, corrupt our politics, denationalize our citizens, debauch our rulers, destroy our Sabbaths, and threatens not only to pollute our sanctuaries but destroy the whole fabric of our Christian republic. Its demon spirit and arrogance are manifest in its actions upon its recent decision of the supreme court of the United States on the interstate commerce laws. Under the sophistry of its personal liberty and the legitimacy, of the liquor traffic, etc." To anyone who will read the above sentences, and the following words taken from his letter of protest to the committee on license, under date of July 23, no further remark is needed: "Protesting against the liquor traffic in all forms, believing that the legalizing of it is sinful. I know that high heaven is against, and my church is against it, had I my say every saloon in the universe would be swept from the face of the earth, etc." Just how any sane person after reading these and other like sentences denouncing the liquor traffic, could have the aeffrontery to declare Dr. Fenwick in favor of the saloon is past finding out. We brand with infamy these publications that have made it appear that our pastor sanctions the saloon element, and while we desire to be temperate in language and sentiment, cannot forbear saying that unless this and similar unrighteous actions in St. Mark's A. M. E. church are overthrown soon, the vengeance of a just God will bring a fearful retribution upon the cowardly perpetrators. We cannot close the report without referring to the improved moral tone to be noted in this church, since the last conference. The high standard of right which our esteemed pastor has erected, and upon the observance of which he insists, is in keeping with his well-known policy, and will be a powerful lever in the elevation of African Methodism in Milwaukee, pledged to a righteous cause, we fully endorse his efforts, and earnestly pray for his return another year. Water Will Find Its Own Level and Birds of a Feather Invariably Flock Together. Surprise and consternation were depicted on the faces of the old wheel horses of St. Mark's A. M. E. church when they learned that their leader and savior, I. W. Bess, the hero to whom they had kow-towed for the past year or more and whom they had elected superintendent of Sabbath school, trustee, steward and class leader, and who, as we understand, was a candidate for ministerial orders, had been arrested for burglarizing the residence of the pastor of the church and the theft therefrom of a bicycle and brace of revolvers, and is now occupying a cell in company with common thieves and suspects in the country jail. Ever since Dr. Fenwick became the pastor of St. Mark's church, this same Bess has been the leader of those opposed to the reverend gentleman and his policy of purification. Around him were gathered half a dozen weak-minded women who controlled their husbands and some half dozen other persons in coats and pants, who danced when they piped and sneezed when they took snuff. He was their hero and their demi-god. They hung upon his words as the disciples hung upon the words of the Redeemer, and every suggestion to them was that of an oracle. We, the Wisconsin Weekly Advocate, ever mindful of the difference between right and wrong, repeatedly warned these poor, misguided unfortunates that they were hasty, that they knew nothing about the man, his antecedents, or from whence he came. The fact that he has been arrested and bound over to the next term of the criminal court is in itself a humiliation to the church. It is, however, a lesson to our people not to be too ready to pick up strangers and advance them to positions of responsibility over the heads of men who have been tried and found true and who have been residents in the community for years. We doubt, however, if the lesson will have its effect. Upon people naturally stubborn and permeated with prejudice against those they dislike and in favor of those whom they do like these lessons are always thrown away. We do not blame I. W. Bess, but those who have upheld him, swelled his head and made him believe he was that for which he was fitted neither by education nor breeding. His treatment of the presiding elder would have been enough for any one else save his followers. We entertain no feelings of iil-will towards this young man, we regret the circumstances which have led to his downfall and which has exposed the double life he is charged with having led. We commiserate those who are the victims of this petticoat brigade. In conclusion we can only repeat the words of the heading of this article: Water will find its own level and birds of a feather usually flock together. MENASHA NEWS. The editor had a pleasant visit with Father De Kalb of Menasha Thursday last. The reverend gentleman is one who fulfills the commands of his Master. If there were more clergymen of whatever denomination imbued with the same spirit as Father De Kalb, the world would be a better one today. He reminds one of Goldsmith's fainous character in the "Deserted Village." During our recent visit to Appleton we found our old friends Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Elmore, the same genial happy couple, respected and loved by all with whom they come in contact, ever ready to lend a helping hand to one in need. The same can be said of Mr. Charles Thomas of Neenah, whom we found looking hearty, cheery, well, and what is better, prosperous. Such men and women as these are an honor and a credit to the race in Wisconsin. NEGRO HIS OWN WORST ENEMY. Had Editor Montgomery listened to certain suggestions insidiously poured into his ear regarding the conduct of his mission in Green Bay that venture might have turned out differently. At its inception the mayor, the leading business people and the only colored families of any worth in the burg (two in number) were consulted and unanimously supported the idea. It was only the lower element of the population, the gross, material element, so to speak, of both shades of color who wished and probably expected the mission only a blind for some other purpose and who, when they found their wishes foiled, turned round and wrecked it. The Brooklyn bridge has lost place as one of the wonders of the world since the building of the Williamsburg steel bridge, a mile farther up the East river, and the bridge now building to Blackwells island will be more wonderful than either. TRUTH WILL TELL. There are always two sides to a story, and the trouble which the editor of The Advocate lias been in in Green Bay, and from which he has triumphantly come out, has these two sides. The editor has for years conducted an agency, incorporated under the laws of the state of Wisconsin, for supplying colored help from the south to families in Wisconsin. For this purpose funds were and are necessary, in order to furnish transportation for such help; and such advance was in each and every case (except that of direct donations) to be deducted gradually from the wages of the help after they had commenced work. A certain Dr. W. M. Ringsdorf, not a doctor but a dentist, in Green Bay, had been anxious to secure a colored boy and girl from the south, and offered to give them a home and at the age of 21 to give the boy forty acres of land. For this purpose he advanced to the editor the vast sum of $15, and when the goods were not immediately delivered had the editor arrested on a charge of embzezlement, stating at the same time that the said parties must be from the state of Alabama, a state in which peonage or semi-slavery has been proved to be rampant. Query—Did Dentist Ringsdorf wish to introduce that same system into Wisconsin, and all for the sum of $15? Fortunately the point was seen through by the friends of the editor, and his attorney, Mr. W. T. Green of Milwaukee, who demanded a jury trial, being warned that the justice and the district attorney were in "cahoots" to down the work of the editor in Green Bay, and prevent by every possible means the migration of intelligent and well-doing negroes from the south and have only those from such states as Alabama, where, as has been said, a state of semi-slavery has been proved to exist. From letters in possession of the editor from prominent public and society men and women of Green Bay, it can be shown that from the very inception of the mission there a certain amount of jealousy existed against the institution. However, "Magna est veritas et prevelabit," and the editor has triumphantly overcome those opposed to what he has made his life work. For this victory thanks are in first place due to the Almighty, who has always been the protector and support of the editor; to Attorney W. T. Green, who so ably and successfully contested the legal aspects of the question; to numerous friends of both colors in Milwaukee and Green Bay for their sympathy, amongst whom we may mention Messrs. A. M. Murphy of the Murphy Lumber company, Ira S. Smith, J. T. Duke, Hon. J. H. Taylor, A. M. Palmer, Rev. Dr. Fenwick, Mrs. Mamie Carter, Mrs. Adie Blackwell and Mrs. Nellie Watts, and Saint Tuttle of Chicago. And above all the editor desires to tender his public thanks to Messrs. T. E. Daems, Charles Snavely, Ed First, Emil Brice, George Worth and William W. Burt of Green Bay, who composed the jury and unanimously acquitted him of the charge preferred against him by this same dentist of Green Bay who to all appearance wished to transplant the Alabama system of peonage into enlightened Wisconsin. ATTY. W. T. GREEN. We once more have the pleasure of presenting to our readers the portrait of that able and qualified lawyer, W. T. Green of Milwaukee, than whom there is no better in the state. The 18th day of August will long be remembered as a red letter day in Brown county. Attorney W. T. Green made an immense sensation in the management of the case against the editor of the Advocate. Mr. Green arrived on one of the early morning trains and was driven to one of the [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. leading hotels. The case was called before Judge Maase at 10 a. m. Mr. Green was introduced by Samuel H. Cady, Esq., of the local bar. After chatting with the judge and members of the bar who were present, Mr. Green sprang a surprise on the court by demanding a jury trial. This started the sheriff and his deputies to hustling and left no time for pre-arrangements. The first venire was very quickly exhausted and a jury was not secured till 2 p. m. Although he had never seen any of the men before he succeeded in securing one of the most representative juries of business men in the city. The trial was a sharply contested one and lasted for two days. one and lasted for 10 years. Attorney Green's reputation had preceded him. Nearly every one had read of his wonderful success in the courts of Milwaukee, Racine and other places in Wisconsin, besides in other states, and long before he began his address to the (222) MRS. ADIE BLACKWELL. We have great pleasure in presenting to our readers the latest portrait of Mrs. Adie Blackwell of Milwaukee, prominent in church work in connection with St. Mark's A. M. E. church. She is indefatigable in her endeavors for everything tending to the elevation of the race, and is always in sympathy with anyone who is in any sort of trouble, distress or sickness. She comes from a family noted for their church activity, her mother, a na- jury, not only the courtroom, but the entire street in front was crowded. The jury retired at noon on the second day and returned at 3 with a unanimous verdict of not guilty and R. B. Montgomery was free. Mr. Green is receiving the commendation of the leading members of the bar and citizens of Green Bay. The press has been sharply criticised for the prejudice displayed. When the editor was arrested they announced in glaring headlines that fact and did everything in their power to secure his conviction, but when he was acquitted they sneaked away like whipped curs with their tails between their legs and only announced the bare fact of the verdict of the jury. Not even the presence of his attorney and his phenomenal victory over such fearful odds and under such trying circumstances received the slightest notice from them. It is safe to say that there does not exist anywhere throughout the state of Wisconsin a press which would be guilty of such unfair prejudice, unjust and unkind treatment as has been shown by the press of Green Bay in this case. Through the medium of the Advocate Mr. Green desires to return his thanks to the bar and citizens of Green Bay in general for courtesies extended during his short visit. He spent a pleasant afternoon with Judge James H. McGillan, who was the first to induce him to study law. THE OTHER FELLOWS. We are not at all surprised at the attitude of the Green Bay Advocate in enlarging upon the supposed delinquency of the editor of the Wisconsin Weekly Advocate, and filling its meager columns with tissues of what we can only term falsehoods. The editor of that sheet evidently never read even at school, if he ever were there, the story of the "Three Black Crows." Rumor gradually developing into supposed fact. We wonder what they think of the opinion and judgment of the jury. The Gazette of that same city is conducted on different lines, irrespective of any politics, and does not dirty its sheets by trying to kick down a rising man. The Oshkosh Times was not kind in its remarks, but we can forgive it for its former and we hope future good will. The Milwaukee Sentinel was of course bound to have its display of jubilation on the supposed downfall of the editor. And all on account of a change of opinion regarding men, not measures, during a bye election. These papers will be attended to in the course of the ensuing fall and winter, and we confidently assure the public that the same policy which The Advocate has consistency pursued will be followed. -In China a man who killed his father was executed, and along with him his schoolmaster for not having taught him better. NUMBER 43. THE WOMEN'S HERITAGE tive of the West Indies, being one of the oldest members of St. Mark's. The editor had only recently cause to be grateful to Mrs. Blackwell for sympathy expressed in a tangible manner, when others presumably more closely associated with him held aloof. We wish Mrs. Blackwell all the happiness which her activity and usefulness deserves. Mrs. Blackwell is one of the delegates to the forthcoming conference, and will represent and contest Dr. Fenwick's interests to the finish. CREAM CITY NOTES. ADVERTISING RATES.

New York, Aug. 22.—On the fifty-second anniversary of the winning of the Queen's cup by the America, the Shamrock III., Sir Thomas Lipton's third candidate for the international trophy now known as the America's cup, was defeated by the Reliance, time allowance excluded from the reckoning, by 8 minutes 59 seconds. With the time allowance the Reliance won by 7 minutes and 2 seconds. Start—Shamrock, 11:45:17; Reliance, 11:45:21. Finish—Reliance, 3:17:45; Shamrock, 3:26:40. New York, Aug. 25.—The Reliance won the second race of the international cup series by one minute and nineteen seconds, official time. This figures in the time allowance of the Shamrock of one minute and fifty-seven seconds. An hour and a quarter before the time set for the start the sky, although partly cloudy, gave no indications of any disagreeable weather during the day. The wind, which had been about south, southeast, during the early morning, hauled a bit to the southward, blowing a point or two east of south. It still continued, however, about a 7-knot gait and these conditions seemed to prevail over a wide stretch of water, so that there was at this time every prospect that the race would not only be started on time, but that the boats would be able to cover the course within the time limit of five and a half hours. Both Yachts at Start. Soon after 10 o'clock both yachts had arrived at the lightship and cast off their tows. Nearly an hour remained before the starting gun was to be fired and the yachts sailed back and forth about the lightship which the committee did not reach till sometime later. When Shamrock dropped her tow she immediately struck out her jib and holding away from the lightship on the port tack, sent up her topsail. The crew worked smartly and inside of ten minutes all the large sails were placed. The topsail of Reliance while inside the hook proved somewhat smaller than the weather conditions warranted and Capt. Barr, finding the sea smooth and the wind comparatively light, decided to change for a still larger one. The tug therefore kept her head up into the wind while the sail was sent down and the bigger one substituted. This work consumed about fifteen minutes. Triangular Course. At 10:25 the signal was hoisted for a triangular course, the regatta committee tug Navigator coming to anchor about half a mile to the westward of the lightship. At 10:30 the course signals were hoisted. Five minutes after the regatta committee had set the signal for a triangular race the three sets of flags were broken out on the triatic stay, denoting the direction of the three legs. As read from shore the first leg was south, giving the boats a beat down the Jersey shore. The next was northeast by east one-half east which under the conditions of the wind prevailing at the time, would give the yachts a broad reach from the first to the second mark on the starboard tack. The next leg was northwest by west to the finish at the lightship and a broad reach on the part tack. Reliance Follows Shamrock The preliminary signal was fired at 10:45 and immediately after the fight for position began. As usual Reliance followed Shamrock in her various maneuvers about the line, neither boat going very far away from the starting point. When the warning signal was fired at 10:55 the Shamrock was close to the committee boat. She immediately headed along the line on the starboard tack and Reliance, coming down from the windward, attempted to blanket her. Start Was Very Poor. Four minutes before the start the skipper of the Irish boat started for the lightship and rounded it to port. Capt. Barr outgeneraled his rival, Capt. Wringe, at the outset. He sent the Reliance across the starting line 1 minute and 24 seconds ahead of Shamrock III. More than that, the American boat was a full quarter of a mile to the windward of the British boat. The start of today's race accordingly lacked all of the thrilling features which made the beginning of Saturday's contest a sight long to be remembered. A few minutes before the starting gun was fired Shamrock III. seemed to go away awry. For a moment it appeared that something had gone wrong aboard. She overran the committee boat at the leeward end of the line, and when the starting signal was fired the Lipton boat was away to leeward of the line and the handicap gun boomed as the cup hunter bore down across the line and got away. Shamrock Handled in Poor Manner. Experts say it was amateurish. At all events the American was off under decidedly encouraging conditions. The official time of the start was: Reliance, 11:00:36; Shamrock III., 11:02:00. The wind at this time was puffy from the south, southeast and had not exceeded four miles. It hauled around more to southeast and half an hour later had freshened to six knots. The excursion fleet was hardly as large as on Saturday, but the spectacle was impressive. The patrol fleet succeeded, except for a brief interval, in giving the yachts wide sea room. Between the first two guns, as the boats were running along to the leeward of the line, a tank steamer interfered somewhat with the movements of the racers. Reliance Begins to Gain. On getting nearer the shore the breeze seemed to be a trifle stronger and Reliance began to gain. At 11:40 she had pulled out until she was from three-eighths to one-half mile ahead of Shamrock, being a quarter of a mile to the windward and the same distance out ahead of the challenger. The boats sailed very slowly, scarcely more than four or five miles an hour. At 11:42:30, Reliance being about three miles off Seabright, tacked to starboard, having held the port tack for forty minutes. Shamrock held on until she got well to weather of the Reliance's wake, when she also tacked. At 11:45 both boats were heading off shore on the starboard tack, Reliance in the lead, but the Shamrock pointing fully as high. The wind began to shift to west of south and it looked as though the boats would be able to turn the first mark without another tack. Race Becomes Exciting. This tack proved to be fully as long as the first one and the race was developing into an exciting contest. Neither boat seemed to be able to secure any decided advantage, although the Reliance was leading. Shamrock held the windward position. At 12:21:00 Reliance went about on the port tack and headed in shore. Shamrock followed at 12:23:30. At this time the weather was thick and it was difficult to discern the yachts in the haze. At 12:10 Reliance felt the shift of wind and Capt. Barr made out the turning mark through the haze. He bore away at once, but Shamrock had cut down her lead greatly through the favorable shift of wind. Nearing the mark rapidly the jib topsail was taken in by the bowsprit men on Reliance. Turn First Buoy. At 12:20 Shamrock's crew lowered their jib topsail and ran up the balloon jib in stops. Reliance made the mark very quickly and bore around it with a rush at 12:21:00 (unofficial). Sheets were eased to port for the reach to the second corner of the triangle. For some reason that could not be learned the balloon jib was not broken out immediately after turning. There was no unnecessary delay in breaking out the ballooner on Shamrock and she gained perceptibly. The English yacht was timed as turning at 12:23:30 (unofficial). The jibs and forestay sails on both yachts were lowered and the ballooners had been broken out. Balloon forestay sails were broken out to take their places, but a few minutes afterwards the wind took another sharp shift to the west of south, so that the racers were enabled to carry spinakers for a short time on the second leg. Wind Works Back to South. At 12:55 the wind had worked back into the south and sheets had to be trimmed well aft to hold the course for the second mark. The wind appeared to have dropped on this leg, but the racers made fairly fast time in covering the stretch of ten miles. Reliance gained considerably on the reach. She gybed prettily around the mark at 1:17 ((nuo-official), the balloon jib was set, but Reliance found she could not carry this sail, so it was hastily taken in. Shamrock Gains on Run Home. Shamrock gained in the run home for the finish line, but she was the rear boat and as the wind was off shore she gained by pointing higher and clearer. The wind shifted during the race from southeast to almost due west. COLORED PICNICKERS ENGAGE IN A RIOT. Train Load of Negroes Stone Marshal When He Endeavors to Arrest One of Them. Chicago, Ill., Aug. 25.—The attempt of a colored woman to pick flowers on the lawn in front of the residence of Mrs. Robert Burton, a wealthy resident of Batavia, led to a riot, in which the sheriff of Kane county, a force of deputies, the mayor of Batavia, his police force, and a body of 1000 townspeople were arrayed against a trainload of negro picnickers from Chicago. The negro woman, who afterwards gave her name as Fannie Shelby, was taken from the car under the rifles of the sheriff's deputies. With her was arrested a negro, who said he was Harry Bell. Bell and the Shelby woman are said to have entered Mrs. Burton's yard. Mrs. Burton said that she was insulted and struck. She retreated at once into the house and telephoned for Marshal Kelly. When he appeared with his aides he was confronted by a crowd of negroes, who, by all accounts, stoned him viciously. One stone knocked him unconscious, The negroes then retreated to the picnic grounds. The woman wanted was found on a step of the excursion train, crowded behind Bell and another man. She was arrested, as was Bell, and any attempt to rescue the prisoners was checked by the show of firearms. TWO WOMEN FALL DOWN STEEP GLACIER. Tourists Climbing Huge Mass of Ice Are Precipitated Upon Rocks Far Below—Neither Killed. Idaho Springs, Colo., Aug. 25.—Two young women met with a painful accident on the Yankee hill glacier, near Alice, Colo., which nearly cost them their lives. The glacier is one of the summer attractions here. Miss Mills of Iowa, a tourist, and Miss Champion of this city were climbing the huge mass of ice and snow when Miss Mills lost her footing. She caught her companion and together they were precipitated down the steep side of the glacier 300 feet upon the rocks below. Miss Mills' left leg was broken and both were terribly bruised. They were seen by campers, who took them to a near-by hotel and called a physician. INSURED FOR $510,000. Life Policies for More Than Half a Million Dollars Held by Late R. H. Foerderer. Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 25.—Insurance companies will be obliged to pay to the estate of Robert H. Foerderer more than $500,000. The largest amount held by any one company is $200,000, for which Representative Foerderer was insured in the Equitable Life of New York. The other policies are thus divided: New York Life, $100,000; Provident Life and Trust, $50,000; Massachusetts Mutual Life, $50,000; New England Mutual Life, $35,000; Berkshire Life, $35,000; Washington Life, $30,000; Pennsylvania Mutual Life, $10,000, making a total of $510,000. Military Forces Feel Confident of Defeating the Fleet in the Mimic War. Portland, Me., Aug. 25.—When the bugles sounded in the various camps on Cape Elizabeth and other points around Portland harbor this morning, the army of defense which is to protect this city from any enemy's fleet considered itself prepared for any move which the hostile commander might make. FRENCH STEAMER LOST. It Is Feared Fifty-seven Persons Perished in Destruction of the Admiral Gueydon Bound for Colombo. Marseilles, Aug. 25.—The French steamer Admiral Gueydon, which sailed July 15 for Colombo, has not since been reported and has been given up for lost. There were 57 persons on board. CALLS A GREAT ARMY. Turkish Government Puts All Its Reserve Forces In Field. Sofia, Bulgaria, Aug. 26.—A private telegram from Dubnizta says a number or Bulgarian officers leading a band of 150 insurgents recently forced their way past the Turkish post at Feka and now occupy an unassailable position. Rumors are current here of serious massacres at Vasiliko and Kiok-Killisseh. Ten persons are said to have been killed. Details and confirmation are lacking. Constantinople, Aug. 26.—The government has decided to call to the colors all the remaining European reserves belonging to the Second and Third Army corps and a number of other reserves, which will bring the total of the Turkish soldiers in Macedonia up to 350 battalions, or almost double the force utilized in the Turkish-Greek war. The enrollment of such large bodies of troops indicates the scruciousness with which Turkey views the situation and her determination to use all the means at her disposal to repress the rebellion. Ibrahim Pasha, the new commander of the troops, is a young and capable officer. Seven battalions have been dispatched to Florina from Monastir. The valis of Monastir and Salonic telegraph that they are now able to guarantee the maintenance of order in their respective towns. Utmost Limits of Barbarism. London, Aug. 26.—According to a Sofia telegram to The Times, the Turkish repressive measures in Macedonia have reached the utmost limits of barbarism and it is said it is the intention to accomplish by degrees the total extirpation of the Bulgarian population. Within the last few days, says The Times correspondent, twelve more Christian villages have been handed over to fire and sword and the women, children and the aged have been massacred indiscriminately. Convoys of prisoners despatched to Monastir have been murdered by their escorts on the way. May Murder Consuls. A private letter from a foreign resident in Monastir says even the local Turks are disgusted and meditate assassinating the consuls in order to provoke European intervention. The insurgents are doubtless taking a terrible revenge and are executing the revolutionary programme to the letter. The reported concentration of large Turkish forces in the Adrianople district at Mustaph, Kisylagach and other points on the Bulgarian frontier is regarded with much apprehension in Sofia as it is well known that in case of war, an invasion would occur from this direction. Gloomy View Taken. In the special dispatches from the nearest points, published this morning, a gloomy view is taken of the crisis in the Balkans. According to reports from Constantinople a rumor was current that war had already been declared against Bulgaria. It was proved to be unfounded, but the state of popular feeling is said to be such that no other issue is regarded as possible. Russian Fleet at Hand. It is further stated that although the Russian squadron was withdrawn from Inidia it continues to cruise near the Bosphorus. It is reported that several Italians have been murdered by Turks at Ismid, a seaport in Asia Minor, fifty-three miles southeast of Constantinople. From Belgrade it is announced that a big mass meeting of Macedonians, intended to be held August 23, has been postponed to August 30 by order of the government, on account of Turkish protests. Christians Won't Pay Taxes It is also stated from Monastir that the revolutionary committees are appealing to the Christian population to refuse to pay taxes and that their appeal is meeting with much success. The insurgents in the Debr district are said to be destroying the villages and murdering their inhabitants. Turkey Takes Powers' Advice. In taking more energetic measures of the suppression of the revolution Turkey is acting in accordance with the advice of the powers. The forthcoming conference of King Edward with Emperor Francis Joseph and King George of Greece, at Vienna, and the visits of the Czar and Emperor William to Vienna and of the Czar and Foreign Minister Lamsdorff to Rome, will enable the monarchs to thoroughly discuss Balkan affairs, and before the conclusion of the* conferences Turkey proposes so far as possible to restore order, so that international action will be unnecessary. An official of the Turkish embassy here said to a representative of The Associated Press today: "The calling out of additional troops by Turkey is due solely to the decision to suppress the insurrection at once." Soldiers Refuse to Serve London, Aug. 26.—According to a dispatch from Belgrade many of the soldiers belonging to the reserves called out by Turkey are refusing to join the colors as the troops in the field have not received any pay for months. WILL WED POLISH PRINCESS Chicagoan Goes to Claim Bride Whom He Loved at First Sight. Chicago, Ill., Aug. 26.—With a Polish princess as a bride, Louis Van Norman expects to return to Chicago in the fall, notwithstanding previous governmental objections. He will sail from New York on Friday for Europe and travel direct to Cracow, where he is to marry the Princess Donia Kratnowski. Van Norman met the Princess Donia in 1893 in New York city, where her family had found temporary shelter after being exiled from home. It was a case of love at first sight on both sides. The young woman is said to have a great reputation as a pianist. She is described as being slight in build and of striking beauty. Van Norman is a traveler and writer and editor of The Chautauquan. NARROW ESCAPE UNDER TRAIN Boy's Life Saved Though Engine and Tender Pass Over Him. Crystal Falls, Mich., Aug. 26.—[Special.]—An exceedingly close call from death is reported from Iron River. Gilbert Williams is driver of a delivery wagon. His horse was frightened by the approach of a train and in running away threw its driver onto the track directly in front of the locomotive. He had landed between two ties that had not been ballasted full. The train was stopped after the engine, tender and mail car had passed over the lad. Aside from the broken leg Williams had only sustained a slight fracture of the skull and severe bruises and it is expected that a few weeks will find him at his work again. MR. ROOT RESIGNS. The President Accepts and Appoints Gen. Wm. E. Taft to Succeed Him. Oyster Bay, L. L., Aug. 25.—Secretary Root, under date of August 19, presented his resignation formally to the President. The resignation was accepted by the President with the understanding that Mr. Root continue as secretary of war at least until January. Gov. Gen. William E. Taft of the Philippines will succeed Secretary Root as secretary of war. President's Statement. President Roosevelt today authorized the following statement: "The President some months ago tendered the secretaryship of war to Judge Taft and at that time it was arranged that he would succeed Secretary Root. Secretary Root will go out of office some time in January and Judge Taft will assume the duties of the office shortly afterwards. The President also authorized the publication of the correspondence between him and Secretary Root concerning the latter's resignation. In full, the correspondence follows: Dear Mr. President: You have been good to asseat to the sufficiency of the reasons for which I have wished to retire to private life as soon as practicable after the establishment of the general staff of the army and the completion of my full four years of service as secretary of war. While you will probably not arrange to fill the office as you wish before the end of the year and that I am to remain in office in the meantime. It is probable that you will be ready to send a name to the Senate in November or December and before you do so my resignation should be in your hands. I find myself on the eve of sailing for England to attend the sessions of the Alaska boundary tribunal; quite unable to judge how many months I shall be kept away from this country, and I therefore now tender my resignation of the office of secretary of war to take effect upon the appointment and qualification of my successor. I shall carry with me unabated loyalty to your administration, confidence in the sound conservatism and patriotic unselfishness of your policy and enduring gratitude for the kindness and consideration with which your friendship has honored me. I shall not cease to appreciate the sympathy and loyalty to President McKinley with which you took and carried on his work—and I shall always be happy to have been a part of the administration directed by your sincere and rugged adherence to right and devotion to the true interests of the country. I am, with great respect and esteem always faithfully yours. The President's Letter Oyster Bay, L. L., Aug. 25.—Hon. Ellhu Root, Secretary of War, Washington, D. C. My Dear Mr. Root—it is hard indeed for me to accept your resignation; and I do so not only with keen personal regret, but with a lively understanding of the gap your withdrawal will create in public life. My sense of personal loss is very great; and yet my sense of the loss to the nation as a whole is even greater. You have been over four years secretary of war. I wonder, if you, yourself realize how much you have accomplished during that period. If you will turn to your first reports and will read therein the recommendations you made in order that the army might be put on an effective basis, you cannot but be pleased with the way in which these recommendations have now been adopted by Congress as well as by the administration, and have become enacted into law or crystallized into custom. We have never had a public servant of the government who has worked harder than you have worked during these four years and a half, and this not merely in point of time, but above all in point of intensity, and your success has been equal to your labor. The only reward you have had, or can have, is the knowledge of successful achievement, of the performance in fullest fashion of a great public duty the doing of which was of vital importance to the nation's welfare. Success in Philippines. Your duties have included more than merely the administration of the department, and the reorganization of the army on an effective basis. You have also been the head of a department which dealt with the vast and delicate problems involved in our possession of the Phillipine Islands and your success in dealing with this part of your work has been a signal as your success in dealing with the purely military problems. To very few statesmen, in any country, is it given at one and the same time to achieve signal and striking triumphs in the administration and reform of the military branch of the government and in the administration of what was in effect a department of insular dependencies, where the problems were new to our people and were in themselves of great difficulty. More, aside from your work in these two divisions of the government service, I appreciate most keenly the invaluable advice and assistance you have rendered me in innumerable matters of weight not coming directly in your departmental province, but in which I sought your aid with the certainty of not being disappointed. Your position on the Alaskan boundary commission at the present moment is an illustration of the services. May all good fortune attend you wherever you are; the American people wish you well and appreciate to the full the debt due you for all that you have done on their behalf. Fraternally yours. THEODORO ROOSEVELT. Gov.-Gen. William E. Taft of the Philippine islands has been appointed by President Roosevelt as secretary of war to succeed Mr. Root, who has formally resigned and whose resignation has been accepted. NEW WEAPON OF HOLDUP MAN. Footpad Squirts Vaporized Chloral Into Face of Intended Victim. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 25.—A scientific application of vaporized chloral shot through a syringe into the victim's face was the climax of a long series of street robberies. This improved method of highway robbery was applied on the street, the victim being Owen Morgan, a railroad telegraph operator. Morgan was waiting for a car when a well dressed stranger walked up and without a word of warning thrust the syringe close to Morgan's face, and shot the heavy gas toward his nostrils. Morgan became dizzy, but the sense of self-preservation made him start to run from the stranger. He staggered and fell unconscious. Policemen approached, and the robber fled. At the city dispensary it was said that Morgan was suffering from chlorine gas, which benumbs the senses completely in a short time. A Deceived Editor. It may be onbecoming in us to look a gift horse in the mouth, but we have been bilked and we are sore. We received an invite to the Lyceum, down to Memphis, to attend the opery called "Cavallerria Rush-the-Can-o," and we turnt our shirt and split the wind and was there. There was nothing but singin'—not a can of beer endurin' of the whole performance. It must 'a' ben what the French call a Jew de Motts.—Hardeman Free Press. Algebra as an Anarchy Breeder A young peasant in a village in the Russian province of Minsk, who was trying to educate himself, was arrested for being in possession of a book on algebra. The justice of the peace before whom he was brought acquitted him of the charge of conspiracy made against him by the police, but warned him not to buy books which tended to make an Anarchist and infidel of him. There are more wrecks in the Baltic sea than in any other place in the world. The average is one wreck a day throughout the year. PORTLAND IS SAFE. City Able to Keep Off the Attacking Fleet in the Great War Game. Portland, Me., Aug. 26.—Through dense smoke and the tumult of continuous firing of cannon, the battleships Kearsarge, Illinois and Alabama entered this port early today, having stormed the main entrance to the harbor in connection with the great war game which is going on this week in this vicinity. From midnight, when the scouts of the hostile fleet were discovered by the pickets of the army on shore, until daylight, when the battleships came up the channel. Portland was treated to an experience very much like real war. Where the victory, if any, is not apparent to shore observers. Approach at Midnight. The night was a sleepless one, not only for all actually engaged in the maneuvers but for many in the city. It was near midnight when the searchlights of the forts disclosed two torpedo boat destroyers in the outer harbor. Firing began at once and then ceased. An hour later the presence of a battleship was revealed by the searchlights and the forts opened fire on her. This vessel returned the fire, and after that the cannonading became general. A cutter and launch containing landing parties were captured and at 2:25 a. m. all the outer forts were engaged in action with the three big vessels, which afterwards were recognized as the Illinois, Kearsarge and Alabama. While two torpedo boat destroyers and other small crafts had been detailed to the duty of threatening the various passages of the harbor, the movement against the main channel had been reserved for the little ships. For more than an hour the big vessels stood off the main entrance to the harbor. Battleships Advance. At 4 o'clock they began the advance. With the Kearsarge leading and the Illinois and Alabama immediately behind, each belching broadsides at the forts, they sailed slowly towards the city. Forts William, Preble and Levett poured uninterrupted fire toward the ships. In turn each ship seemed to concentrate fire on one fort after another until the vessels had reached the inner harbor. As the ships crept on the forts, the firing ceased slowly and by 7 o'clock the echo of guns on the eastern side of the bay, where a minor engagement was going on was all that could be heard. The battleships then maneuvered for a time and then they went back towards the outer harbor, where they began cruising about among the islands. Early in the forenoon the scene of action shifted to the passage into Hussey's Sound, between Peaks and Long Island. From this vicinity great clouds of smoke were arising and the roar of many guns was heard and the Olympia leading a fleet against Fort McKinley. As at the main entrance, they came in slowly, the Olympia was closely followed by the Baltimore. Action Suddenly Ceases. There were four other vessels in this fleet, the principal one being the training ship Newport. The others were the converted yacht Vixen and the torpedo-boat destroyers Worden and Stewart. For a time the firing was as violent as that marking the passage of the battleships. Then the action ceased suddenly. Victory for Army. Division Headquarters, Fort Levett, Cushings Island, Aug. 26.—The army under the command of Col. S. M. Mills, it is believed, gained a victory over a portion of the fleet commanded by Admiral Barker in an engagement which lasted for three hours this morning. This forenoon it was learned that a concentrated attempt of the attacking fleet to make a landing during the night had been unsuccessful. THREE MEN KILLED IN MILL EXPLOSION. Second Time Within Month That Carthage (Mo.) Plant Has Been Wrecked. Carthage, Mo., Aug. 26.—An explosion at the works of the Independent Powder company, four miles southwest of Carthage on Center creek, early today, wrecked the mixing room, killing three persons and injuring three others, one fatally. Dead: ROLLA, W. O., superintendent. PEARMAN, ERNEST. HAWORTH, JERRY, all of Carthage. Thirty other workmen escaped injury.

Rolla, Pearson and Haworth were all in the mixing room, which is secluded from all other mill buildings behind a hill. Supt. Roll's legs were blown off below the knees and the bodies of Pearman and Haworth were shattered. Supt. Roll is a well known manufacturer of powder, having been connected with Indiana mills for fifteen years before coming here two years ago.

Schooner Is Capsized On South Norwalk, Conn., and Seven Lives Are Lost. South Norwalk, Conn., Aug. 26.—The schooner Will C. Newton of Bangor Me., capsized off Norwalk light during the storm last night and the crew, believed to number seven men, were drowned. One body has been recovered. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 26.—A Special to The Star from Sedalia says: "Missouri, Kansas & Texas passenger train No. 3, which left St. Louis at midnight for Texas, crashed into a freight train that was taking a siding at Rhinelands early today. The caboose was reduced to kindling wood and the passenger engine and the platforms of the two forward coaches were damaged. None of the passengers were injured. Fred Daniels, fireman of the passenger train, was killed and J. M. Birch, the passenger engineer, and Sam White, a tramp, were seriously hurt. CLOUDBURST LOSS IS HALF A MILLION. Frankfort, Kan., Aug. 26.—The damage to farms in Nemah and Marshal counties by yesterday's cloudburst is greater than at first estimated, and is now placed at $500,000. Great quantities of grain were swept away, while many farmers lost all their cattle and hogs, according to reports today. Business at Frankfort is at a standstill. Dozens of bridges are washed away. AMERICAN LAD IS "SHANGHAIED." New York Lad Is Stolen by French Sailors and Carried Away in Vessel. New York, Aug. 26.—Begging that he be taken off the ship and returned to his home, a small boy was "shanghaied" on the French bark Marechal De Gontant, which sailed today for Yokohama. The police received a message to the effect that an American boy was being "shanghaied" on board the French steamer. Help was at once sought from the revenue cutter and the police boat, but before anything could be done the French vessel was out past Sandy Hook. The Marechal De Gontant had been anchored for several days off Stapleton, Staten Island. Today some men on board a water boat went out to the vessel. As they reached the ship they saw the lad climb overboard, crying out, "For God's sake, take me ashore." Several French sailors carried the boy back and took him below. A few minutes more the ship started to sea. LYNCH MOB LEADER IS FOUND GUILTY. Must Go to Prison for Leading Rioters at Danville, Ill.—Others Will Be Convicted. Danville, Ill., Aug. 26.—One member of the mob which terrorized the town of Danville on the night of July 25, lynched one negro, and then attacked the Danville jail only to be routed by Sheriff Whitlock and deputies, who fired when necessary, has been convicted. The other indicted rioters are terror stricken at the realization of the fact that such convictions are possible and are almost certain to be made as fast as the courts can take up the cases. The convicted man was one of the leaders of the mob, Winfield Baker, and came from Kentucky and posed as a "bad man." He must now serve an indeterminate sentence in the penitentiary. The charge brought against him was assault with intent to kill Sheriff Whitlock and of rioting. HUNDREDS DROWNED. Awful Loss of Life in the Great Floods at Che Foo, China—Town Almost Washed Away. Victoria, B. C., Aug. 26.—According to mail advices from Shanghai, several hundred lives were lost in the great floods at Che Foo, briefly reported by cable. After a thunder storm with heavy rain, a cloudburst occurred and torrents of water poured down on the town, rushing seaward and carrying houses, buildings, trees and people before it. Stores and warehouses were flooded by the sudden flood and the property loss will reach millions. The water swept with such force as to sweep 400 tons of coal into the sea. The beach was strewn with wreckage and dead and presented an awful sight. Over 300 Chinese were known to be dead at Che Foo alone. No foreigners are known to have been drowned, but a sailor from the U. S. S. New Orleans had a narrow escape. SHIP IS BURNING IN NEW YORK HARBOR. Amsterdam Is in Flames and Is Beached on Jersey Flats—Firemen Are Overcome. New York, Aug. 26.—The ship Amsterdam caught fire at pier 12, East river.

Naomi’s Legacy. ae coming!” Mr, Jobson fell, metaphorical- ly speaking, like a wet blanket on the bosom of his family, They all trem- bled as he came in. Charley dropped the “Robinson Crusoe” that he was reading, and deftly subsiltuted an arithmetic in Its place. Juliet sewed jarder than ever at her patchwork. Mrs. Jobson made haste to fling an- other log upon the fire, and the old grandmother in the corner drew her knit woolen shawl closer around her shoulders with a little shudder. “Dear me!” said Mr. Jobson; “dear me! It's just as I sald. There’s an- ether cold wave coming from the northwest, and coal is two shillings a ton higher. Goodnes knows what's to become of us all.” Presently he looked around inquir- ingly. “Fh? How? What's that I smell? Chickens? Actually chickens roasting! Where's the cold pork that was left trom yesterday's dinner?’ “I thought,” sald Mrs, Jobson apolo- getically, “that as we had so many young chickens coming on——” “Every one of those chickens,” said Mr. Jobson, speaking slowly and «counting off the syllables on his fin- gers, “will be as good as a crown piece when the holidays come on. Poul- try is going up—up—up, as steadily as a rocket, and here you are roasting it for an everyday dinner. I never saw such an extravagant manager as you are, Jane. Hereafter I shall count the fowls, and if one is taken away, I shall take means to know the reason why. And those in this house who are too dainty to eat cold pork may Nve on bread and cheese.” Mrs. Jobson murmured something about “trying to do what seemed right always,” and a gloomy silence fell over the whole group. “There’s the wing of the old kitch- en,” sald he. “I’ve put Na@omi Brush out of it this morning.” Mrs. Jobson looked up in surprise. “Put Naomi Brush out?” she repeat- ed; “and what is the poor soul going to do?” “That's her lookeut,” said Mr. Job- son; “she has preyed long enough on me and mine. I'¥e got an offer of a crown a month from Tom Diggs for the old room. And I may as well say, now, that I don’t at all approve of the way you women have been going on about old Naomi. I never could teach you the necessity for being economical. How am I ever to pay Jones the two hundred pounds that I owe him, if this is the.way we are to go on? How-—” But here the old grandmother spoke out in a mild tone. “Not by being economical at the ex- pense of other people, Calvin,” said she gently. “God has said, ‘Give, and it shall be given unto you.’ He has not said, ‘Serape and pinch, and grind the faces of the poor, and you wil get rich.’ Naomi Brush is solitary and friendless, and when you turned her from the scle shelter she has, you did a cruel and un- generous thing.” And, taking up her knitting, the good old woman went quietly out of the room, The children all stared. Mrs. Jobson looked apprehensively at her husband, and Mr. Jobson him- self turned all manner of colors. “That settles the matter,” said Mr. Jobson hoarsely to himself, as he walk- ed out of the house with his hands in his pockets. “It isn’t every son-in-law who would have borne the burden of a helpless old woman as cheerfully as [ have done. But when Mrs. Price un- dertakes to dictate to me, she assumes a little too much. I'll tell Jane, this afternoon, that she must find some other home for her mother. I suppose she'll ery and make a great fuss over it, but I can’t help that. Grandmother must go. I don’t at all doubt that it’s she who has been putting Jane up to all this senseless extravagance in the matter of charity. In his intent self-absorption he al- most stumbled over a portly little man in a fur-trimmed overcoat, who had ben coming fn his direction with a res- olute step. “Oh, it's you, is it, Squin om said he obsequiously. nes “Yes, it’s me,” said the squire, recoy- ering his equilibrium with some difi- culty. “I was just coming to see you, Jobson, about that little note of yours. I think I told you last week that I wanted the money. And I wish you to understand that I must have it, or I shall find myself compelled to foreclose on the mortgage.” Mr. Jobson grew pale. “Isn't this rather sudden?” said he faintly. The squire shrugged his shoulders. “What would you have?’ said he. “The money is overdue, and there’s a , = lima ur Va . ye hofggraphy | (es a ; The & Masking Negatives.—Very effective results can be obtained by masking negatives so that a narrow white line appears around the border. To do this it is necessary to have some masks cut to definite sizes, but as very many are often required to suit the necessary size of picture required it is a somewhat troublesome business to cut out so many of them. A very simple plan is to make two right angles of some opaque material, such as the back- ing of roll film. If these two right angles are made sufficiently long and wide, they can be utilized for very many various sizes, say, from half-plate downward, The method is to place them over the film side of the negative, so as to inclose the requisite amount of view, and then to temporarily tack the two pieces together with stamp edging. The sensitive paper is then carefully adjusted over all, and the printing proceeded with.—Ex. considerable amount of interest still unpaid. To tell you the truth, Jobson, I don’t like this way of doing business, and I want my money one week from to-day.” Mr. Jobson tore his hair. “Two hundred pounds,” he cried. “And in a week. Why, who ever heard of anything so cruel?” “Cruel!” echoed the squire. Is it eruel of a business man to want his own back again? You should have thought of that before you borrowed it.” And the squire walked on. Mr. Jobson kept his weary way, rack- ing his brains to conjure up some es- cape out of the dilemma. Two hun- dred pounds! And in a week! How was the thing to be done? *. *. * * * s * By the side of a miserable old shanty by the road there was assembled a lit- tle knot of women. They whispered and glanced at him as he passed. He stopped mechanically. “What's the matter?” said he. “It's old Naomi Brush,” said they. “She's dead. “Dead, is she?” said Mr. Jobson curt- ly. “She ought to have died half a dozen years ago.” When he came somein the clear win- ter twilight, he had fully resolved to cut down all unnecessary expenses. Grandmother must go. “If there’s no other place for her,” he reasoned, “there are plenty of ‘Homes for Aged and Indigent Wom- en,’ where I dare say we could get her in. Her influence over Jane isn't good. She teaches her to give to every tramp and beggar that comes along. Grand- mother must go!” But, as he came in, Mrs, Jobson met him at the door. “Oh, Calvin,” she cried breathlessly, “what do you think has happened? Old Naomi Brush, poor soul, is dead. She died suddenly of that heart difficulty which has been hanging over her so long!” “Humph!” said Mr. Jobson. “And what is all that to me, I'd Iike to know?” “More than you think,” said Mrs. Jobson eagerly. “They found two hun- dred pounds, Calvin—yes, two hun- dred pounds—hidden away in a bag of rags which had formed her pillow for more years than anybody could remem- ber. And there was a scrap of a will in her dress pocket, which Lawyer diyde says is perfectly legal and cor- rect—and every penny of it is left to— whom do you suppose? Why, to grandmother. To grandmother, who was so good to her for so many years.” “Yes,” sald the old lady mildly. “And Lam going to give it to you, Calvin, to help you-out with that debt to Squire Jones. Money is of no use to me, except as it may be of aid to my daughter and her husband—and in the country which’ I am nearing so fast, one of old Naomi Brush’s prayers will be of more value to me than all the gold which was ever minted.” “Grandmother,” said Calvin Jobson, with a suffocating lump in his throat, “I don't deserve this. No, I don’t! lm a mean, grasping, avaricious——” “Hush, my son,” said the old lady, “hush! We all have our failings. But we are none of us too old to learn bet- ter. So the nightmare of a debt was paid --and grandmother still sits by the Job- son fireside. And Calvin is a wiser and a better man for the lesson he has had. —Hearthstone.

Fifty-one years ego there was born on a farm at Rodman, Jefferson Coun- ty, a boy baby. The baby grew to manhood with no better prospects than has each of a thousand and one farm- er’s boys. At 21 he went to Water: town, the nearest town of importance, and secured a clerkship in a store. For a month he worked for nothing. For the next three months he re celved $3.50 per week. Then for six months he worked for $4 a week. At the end of six years he was receiving $10 a week and had married. He seemed to be at the top of the only ladder in sight. But he made up his mind there were other and higher ladders in the great outside world. From his employer he secured on credit a stock of goods to the amount of $350 and came to Utica, N. Y. Here he opened the first strictly five-cent store. Only a partial succes: followed. He removed to Lancaster, Pa., secured a store 14x35 feet and did his best. Success followed in a modest way. He opened a branch store in Harrisburg, Pa., 12 feet by 20 in di- mensions; then another at York. He made a point of paying back his first Joan as quickly as possible, saving ev- ery cent possible and buying and sell- ing for cash, From this insignificant beginning the business has branched out until to-day the farmer's boy, Frank W.

The average ciitzen may not know that oysters are planted, cultivated and harvested like any other crop, says the Philadelphia North American, a person who engages in the industry being known as an oyster planter. Thousands of acres of oysters are un- der cultivation in Hampton Roads, which, during the harvesting season, is often literally alive with the reaping machines of the oystermen. When the oysters are from one and a half to two years old they are usu- ally large enough to be sold, and, as a rule, part of them are sold at this age and the rest in the third or fourth year, after which time the ground is allowed to rest a year before being planted again. Great care must be exercised in the selection of bottoms for oyster planting, if the planter would be financially successful. The largest packer in Hampton opens from 100,000 to 200,000 bushels of oysters in a year. In this house, as the men open the oysters, they drop the shells on an inclined plane, from which they slide into a trough and are carried along by scrapers attached to an endless chain called a “shell con- veyor,” which takes them without further labor to the shell pile in the yard. Wher a shucker has filled his gallon measure he carries it to the ‘strainer, where the oysters are strain- ed and measured, They are then emp- tied into large casks kept full of fresh water, by means of which any loose shell or grit Is washed out. From these casks the oysters are dipped into a second strainer, and when separated from the water are again measured and packed. The shells are sold for from 1 to 3 cents a bushel, and are used extensive ly by oyster planters for the propaga- tion of oysters. They are placed in small piles on grounds found suitable for the purpose, where the spat or small oyster will attach itself to the shells. They are also used for making shell ime and for building the excel- lent shell roads found in some parts of the Virginia penisula.

Rome, Aug. 26.—Rev. Wenceslaua Kruszka, rector of St. Wenceslaus church, Ripon, Wis., and deputy of the Catholic. Polish congress of the United States, and Rowland B, Mahany, gen- fral counsel for that body, have been in Rome for some time past trying to ob- tain the appointment of a Polish bishop in the United States, not for any special diocese, but having jurisdiction over all American-Polish Catholics. Their pro- posal has been received coldly both by the vatican and the congregation of tae Propaganda and is not likely to be ae- cepted, being chpoacd to the spirit of ec- ¢lesiastic hierarch as is established in tha United States and also against the rules of the council of Baltimore, Opens an Old Controversy. New York, Aug. 26.—Documents have been received bere from William J. D. Croke, private chamberlain to Pope Pius X., relating to the endeavors that are be- ing made to secure for the Polish popula- tion in the United States a representa- tion of their nationality in the American hierarchy. This action opens again. the controversy which caused so much fric- tion in 1900 concerning the Italian, Slo- yak, Lithuanian and Bohemian repre- sentation. Chamberlain Croke says the presence in Rome of Rev. Wenceslaus Kruszka, rector of St. Wenceslaus, Ripon, Wis., deputy of the Catholic Polish congress of the United States, is to obtain for the Catholic Poles this representation. The applicants, it is stated, urge the appoint- ment of Polish bishops. though they would be satisfied for the time with vicars-general, Will Be Taken Up by Pope. “Out of fourteen cardinals concerned these deputies have seen eleven,” says the communication, “and they have been wel- comed and gratified with substantial agreement in each case and the matter will immediately be taken up by the new Pope.” apes An Interstate Association Is Formed— Next Gathering Is to Be Held in Minnesota.

AGRICULTURAL For Watering Stock. No matter how pure a source of supply 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 apparatus here shown is put into use. If pure water is furnished to the tank or barrel to which this fountain is attached it is claimed that there is no way by which the animal that is drinking can make it foul. The waterer consists of a double drinking 5 SECTIONAL VIEW OF THE WATERER. bowl, made of cast iron, which is attached to the outside of a tank or barrel. On the inside is another chamber, inclosed in which is a brass float and lever controlling the flow of the water to the outside bowl. The fountain is automatic 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 always closed except when water is flowing from the tank to the drinking bowl, there is no opportunity for foreign matter to find its way to the interior of the storage reservoir.—Denver Field and Farm. Root Crops for Stock: There is not a farmer in business but who can readily spare an acre or two of ground on which to grow root crops. If he has any number of heads of stock he will find that he can not grow anything on the farm to greater profit than the small area named put into root crops. Mangel wurzels are among the easiest of the root crops to grow and they will grow on any soil if the soil is properly prepared. The seed bed should be deep and harrowed several times after thorough plowing. Seeds should be drilled in and from two to four pounds of seed an acre will be required. The space between rows should be kept free from weeds and when the plants are three or four inches high they should be thinned out so that they will stand fifteen inches apart. It will be necessary to keep the field hoed or cultivated until the plants get strong enough to overcome any weed growth. After this no care is necessary until fall harvest. Under this sort of cultivation it is possible to grow from 600 to 1,000 bushels on an acre, according to the condition of the soil. Carrots and turnips can be easily raised on the same plan, although for general feeding the mangels are, perhaps, more desirable. Thumps in Piga. More cases of thumps among pigs are reported this year than in some time before, owing, doubtless, to the rainy weather, which prevented the pigs from getting the sunshine they so much needed. If there is anything farmers need to learn about the handling of young pigs it is that they need sun and exercise, both in considerable quantities. An ideal pasture for young pigs is a place that may be fenced off from the main pasture where there is one or more trees which will provide shade, but where there will also be a large space of comparatively dry ground, in grass, on which the pigs may run. If there is white clover in the grass, so much the better for the pigs, and they will need less corn. Sun and exercise will prevent thumps, which disease usually means death. Lice Tronbling Pigs It is not unusual for swine, and particularly the young pigs, to be afflicted with lice, and the trouble is usually due to unclean quarters. If the pigs are constantly scratching they should be closely examined for lice, and if the vermin are found the pigs should be taken from the pen and the latter thoroughly cleansed. Scrub the pen thoroughly and then whitewash it. The pigs should also be scrubbed with a solution of sulphur or by using some of the sheep dips, of which there are many good ones on the market. If no lice are found on the pigs, then the trouble generally comes from improper feeding of the sow while she is nursing. If this is thought to be the case, cut the corn out of the ration for the sow and feed her largely on middlings, bran and milk for a while. Clean the pigs with the sheep dip, as suggested, which will allay the irritation. Sheep for the Farm: If one is in the raising of sheep exclusively, one can afford to go into the question of fancy breeds suited to the market to which he is catering, but the average farmer who raises sheep simply as one more crop from which he hopes to derive an income, should select the breed from those most common in his section. The general purpose ewe, if this term may be applied to sheep, is the one with some Merino blood in order to obtain the heavy fine fleece. It has been observed that the animal with the close, dense fleece is the vigorous, hardy animal. The ram should be of a good cross or a pure bred, if desired, but care should be taken that he is of a breed suited to thrive in the section where he is to remain and under the conditions with which he will be surrounded. In selecting sheep for the farm it is generally wise to look after the merits of each individual regardless of the breed to which she belongs, for there are good breeds with poor members of the family just as there are good members in breeds that are not so highly rated. In most sections where sheep may be raised to advantage there is room for many more than are now raised. If farmers would go into this industry, carefully increasing their holdings as they gain experience, they could make sheep raising profitable. Handy Workshop Tool.

The uprights b and d should be longer than shown, that they may be tied together at the top, as the outward strain is considerable; both center uprights are 2x4x 12 inches. All uprights are braced as shown at f f f. The bit stock c is made by bending a $ \frac{1}{2} $ or 1 in round rod into shape as shown, or may be purchased at a hardware store. A feed screw is shown at d, which may screw into the wood, or a nut may be attached to the front side of rear upright. A tool chuck g is screwed to the end of the bit stock. Loose blocks WOOD OR IRON DRILL. of wood are placed between the bit and the front post b as needed. By using twist drills, either wood or iron may be lored.—George T. Price, in Farm and Home. Farm Notes. A farmer should know enough about law to keep out of it. No one can be found now who objects to dehorning cattle. In butter making, next to controlling the temperature is to churn often while the cream is in good condition. lows are given access to their mother, but as they soon find but little to supply their needs they become disgusted and readily adopt the idea of paddling their own canoe. A stall for a horse should be five feet wide. If wider the horse will turn over and get east, if narrower he can't rest. The floor should be even and level if the horse gets the rest he should have. Many a runaway has resulted just because too much confidence has been placed in a team. There is always a feeling that "they'll stand." It pays to make teams secure before leaving them. The first rainy day that comes, pass a copy of this paper to your neighbor and ask him to look it over and tell you how he likes it. There is no better way one can befriend a neighbor than to hand him a good paper. He will appreciate the paper and your kindness. Some men folks on farms never think of helping make or cultivate the garden. This is considered too small a job for them, and yet they never object to partaking of what comes from it. It is "my wife's garden" when the garden is put in and when the crops are reaped it is 'our garden.' Of Uncle Sam's domain of over two billion acres only 500,000,000 are left for settlement. Under the present system of land laws it will only last five years. During the first ninety days of this fiscal year 6,000,000 acres were filed upon. Uncle Sam intends that everybody shall have a farm as long as they last. His farms are going fast. Whenever one reads of a combine where farmers are going to control prices of farm products, one should rest assured that somebody else is going to be enriched by the scheme. It is not among the possibilities to control the prices of staple farm products. All attempts to do so will prove failures. When approached to lend aid to any scheme of this character it will be well to look for the African in the fuel; he's there. SOLDIERS AT HOME. THEY TELL SOME INTERESTING ANECDOTES OF THE WAR. How the Boys of Both Armies Whiled Away Life in Camp-Foraging Experiences, Tiresome Marches-Thrilling Scenes on the Battlefield. "The death of Major Pond," said the Captain, "recalled to a good many old soldiers one of the strangest chapters in the history of the Civil War. The engagement at Baxter Springs was fought at a point remote from other military operations, in the country of the Cherokees, in Southeastern Kansas. Most of the Cherokees, it will be remembered, went over to the Confederates, and a military post had been established at Baxter Springs, on the road between Fort Scott and Fort Smith and about fifty miles from the former. "At first the fort there was occupied by a company of the Fourteenth Kansas (colored) mounted infantry, but early in October, 1863, General J. G. Blunt, commanding at Fort Scott, ordered Lieutenant James B. Pond of the Third Wisconsin Cavalry to Baxter Springs with Company C of his regiment. Lieutenant Pond at once began the enlargement of the fort, and on Oct. 6 sent the most of his cavalry on a foraging expedition. In the absence of this force, and while his men were at dinner outside the fort, the camp was rushed by Quantrill's men dressed in Federal uniforms. The rebels were in the fort as soon as Pond's men, and there was a confusing rough-and-tumble fight. "Pond, however, rallied his men, drove the rebel advance out, and, seeing that the main body of the enemy, two or three hundred strong, was advancing upon him, went outside his breastworks to a howitzer, and without assistance turned this on the enemy, firing so effectively as to check the charge. Meantime he heard firing over the ridge not more than 400 yards away, and supposed his foraging expedition had been attacked. At this juncture he was surprised to see Major B. S. Henning of his regiment, whom he had left at Fort Scott, break through the enemy's line and come at a gallop into the fort. "Henning explained that Major General Blunt, moving his headquarters from Fort Scott to Fort Smith, had been surrounded and attacked not 400 yards away, that his escort had been dispersed, his train captured, and he asked Lieutenant Pond to send his cavalry to the rescue. Pond could muster only seven mounted men, and Henning at the head of these, dashed out of the fort and through the enemy's lines to find General Blunt. This left Pond with only fifty men to beat off the enemy, but, as he said to Henning, he had the howitzer. "Blunt had rallied fifteen men and was making a fight when re-enforced by Henning. They together hung on the nank of the enemy and saw Quantrill move his whole force again on the fort. A flag of truce was sent forward and then the rebel force was withdrawn and marched southward. Finding Pond ready for hot work, Quantrill decided not to make an assault in the face of what he reported to General Price as a superior force. Going over the field, General Blunt found that Major Curtis, Lieutenant A. W. Farr, Lieutenant Ralph E. Cook, fourteen members of the brigade band, all of his orderlies and clerks, and forty-one soldiers had been shot through the head after they had surrendered and that all his wagons had been burned. "Pond had sixteen men killed and as many wounded, but he drove off the enemy. So far as I know, Major Pond of the later day never referred to this fight, and yet he was specially mentioned in three reports and was respectfully referred to in Quantrill's report. In this same report Quantril reported General Blunt, Major Henning, and other officers dead, as he could not believe their dash through his lines had been successful. In the report he admitted that he didn't bring any prisoners away with him. "At this time Quantrill and his gang were not a part of the regular Confederate army. Many of his men were deserters from Confederate regiments, and all had been outlawed by the Union commanders. They made no pretense of being governed by the rules of war, and yet Quantrill claimed to hold the commission of Colonel in what he called the Army of the South. It is a matter of record that, in a letter written some time after this fight at Baxter Springs, General Price urged that some means be found to attach Quantrill and his regiment of freebooters to the Confederate army. Many Confederates, however, disapproved of any recognition of the guerrilla leader, who made war on the guerrilla plan. "In this engagement at Baxter Springs the unexpected happened to all parties concerned. Quantrill, according to the story told by his men who were taken prisoners, did not know there was a fort at Baxter Springs. He was moving south to the Canadian to rest men and horses, and, hearing that there was a Union train moving in the same direction, he veered to the right to capture it. He made the attack on Lieutenant Pond before he knew of the proximity of General Blunt and his escort. As his main object was to capture the train he called off most of his men and they rode down upon General Blunt and his escort, the latter believing them to be Union cavalry. "Here, then, was a tringular fight, in which none of those in command un- derstood the situation or the strength of the opposing forces. It is certain that Quantrill's men shot every man captured and every man that surrendered except three of the Union wounded who pretended to be dead. After he had killed his prisoners he sent a flag of truce to Lieutenant Pond, asking how many Confederates Pond held as prisoners, and declaring that if Lieutenant Pond properly cared for the prisoners in his hands Quantrill would take proper care of the Union prisoners captured by his own men. "The ghastly impudence of this proposition was apparent the next day, when it was clearly demonstrated that all the men captured by Quantrill's men, whether white or colored, soldier or civilian, had been shot through the head, some of them half a dozen times. Major Pond and his men naturally felt very bitterly on this question, and possibly for that reason the subject was not often discussed with their friends." —Chicago Inter Ocean. The Iowa Grayhounde. I was a soldier in Missouri, a member of Company C, First Iowa, known as the "Iowa Greyhounds." I can never forget the long marches, night and day, the hardships and desperate fighting that characterized campaigning in Missouri. It has been said that the first enlistment represents largely the scum. I think that statement is true. The cream is the scum of the milk. That is the kind of scum that characterized the personnel of the First Iowa, with a few exceptions. I have in mind one young man just from college who paid $10 to another volunteer for his place in the ranks. We had a glee club, composed of Eugene Ware, present Pension Commissioner; Kilmartin, the noted fifer; Charley Fowler, and other musical and poetic members of the scum of society. The march from Boonville, crossing the Osage River, en route, was long and arduous—the Greyhounds in advance, followed by the First Missouri, First and Second Kansas, Totten's and Du Bols' batteries. The Missouri miles were long—the longest I ever traveled. I never could tell just how far we had advanced. From the early start in the morning to the finish late at night was about the length of a Missouri mile. One day in the latter part of July, 1861, a German friend, whom I was visiting in Sigel's camp at Pond Springs, solemnly requested me to accompany him outside of the encampment. Stopping beside a newly-made grave, he said, in accents soft and tender: "Dis is his time. He fights mit Sigel no more. He is dedt alretty once." The story of Wilson's Creek is history. I shall add very little to the story here. Captain Mason, of Company C, was killed. I have never seen anything so white as his face, pale in death. I can see it now. Our gallant first sergeant held up the beautiful silk flag, golden fringed, and the Greyhounds stayed with it. Some of them are there yet, awaiting the 'final reveille. The forenoon was hot; so was the fight. Some careless Johnny spilled melted lead on my leg, and while I was examining the damage to my anatomy the sergeant, Jim Grant, a soldier of four enlistments, Mexican service included, stood above me waving the flag. Mopping his face with the other hand, he looked down and said: "It's pretty —— hot, ain't it?" Being still mad at the careless reb aforesaid, I curtly exclaimed, "Yes, it is p. d. h.!" Totten, whose battery had done effective work, remarked that the Iowa boys were all right, and permitted a number of the wounded, among them little Bob Armstrong, to ride back to Springfield on his limbers. Do the boys remember the big colonel of one of Sigel's regiments? A man of his immense physique must have supreme courage to go fooling around where six-pound shells are out for business. How the wounded endured the march back to Springfield and from there to Rolla and St. Louis passes my comprehension. A comrade of Company H. shot through the bowels, died by my side, on the night of our arrival at the arsenal in St. Louis. We certainly were hard to kill. The Pension Commissioner declares that only one man was discharged from the regiment for disability. I know that Commissioner Ware himself re-enlisted, joining the Sixteenth Iowa.—American Tribune. Gen. Joe Wheeler's Trade. The inimitable Champ Clark tells this one on General Joe Wheeler: "When the Spanish war was brewing, General Wheeler was anxious to get into the fight, if there was to be one. An ex-Confederate met him on the avenue, and said: 'General, why are you so anxious for a scrap with Spain?' "Sir,' replied the General, 'it's my trade—my trade.' "His daughter said to the General that surely he had had enough of fighting to satisfy any reasonable man from 1861 to 1865, and that he should sit at home and let the young men do the fighting. 'Now, daughter,' said the General, 'if a fish had been out of the water thirty odd years and came in sight of a nice looking lake, he would wiggle a little at any rate, wouldn't he?' And the old warrior did wiggle into the thickest of the fight."—Cincinnati Enquirer. Sicily is the home of sulphur. The island exports 360,000 tons a year, of which the United States gets one-third.

Chicago, Ill., Aug. 27.—Under the assumed name of "James Lynchbaum," James Lynchehaun, a notorious Irish criminal and escaped convict, was arrested in Indianapolis yesterday after a man hunt which began last August. The trail of the fugitive, after traversing every corner of Ireland, crossed the ocean and led into Chicago. On the night of October 6, 1894, Valley house, an ancient manor in Achill Island, on the Irish coast, occupied by an aged woman of wealth, went up in flames. Next morning the dead body of the old lady was found in the ruins. She evidently had been murdered. The brutal crime was laid at the door of Lynchehaun, who some time before had taken service in the household as steward. He was captured and while being taken handcuffed to prison by two constables on a side car he escaped and remained at large until the following January, when he was again taken. Brought before the Castlebar assizes in July, 1895, he was convicted and sentenced for life. Lynchehaun made his escape from prison soon after this and has since been at liberty.

Fire Department Has Many Conflagrations to Fight During Hard Rain Storm. Chicago, Ill., Aug. 27.—The local fire department was worked almost to the Jlimit last night, there being more fires burning at one time than there have been in the last ten days put together. The most serious fire of the night was that in the freight house of the Rock Island road, situated at the corner of Polk and Sherman streets. Special calls for additional engines were made and all the fireboats in the service of the city were put at work, but in spite of the utmost efforts of the department the building and its contents were almost entirely destroyed. The freight house, which was a block long, 200 feet wide and two stories high, was filled with outgoing freight and it will be impossible for several days to state the loss with accuracy. It is estimated that it will amount to $500,000. Just before this fire broke out the store of A. H. Revell & Co., at Adams street and Wabash avenue, was damaged by fire to the extent of $40,000. Five other fires which were small affairs were burning at the time of the freight house fire. They were for the most part within a few squares of the freight house. At the time the fires were in progress the heaviest rain of the season was falling. VESSELS COLLIDE; SIX MEN DROWN. Stonington, Conn., Aug. 27.--The Metropolitan steamship H. M.

MORMONS TRY TO KIDNAP GIRL. Elders Have Designs on the Daughter of a Methodist Preacher. Dublin, Ind., Aug. 27.—A daring attempt to kidnap the 14-year-old daughter of Mrs. D. T. Hedges from her home at Connersville, twelve miles south of here, was made by a Mormon elder from Salt Lake City, but through the efforts of Marshal George Tippen the plot was frustrated. Rev. D. T. Hedges, formerly pastor of the Methodist church at Connersville, six months ago suddenly disappeared, leaving his wife and four children. It was afterward learned that he had gone to Salt Lake City to become a Mormon. For some time four Mormon elders have been dogging the movements of the eldest daughter. Tippen had been previously informed by the mother that her daughter was being watched and he had been guarding her. Tuesday night while the girl was sitting on the veranda one of the elders stole up and seized her, but no sooner had he done so than Tippen threw him off. He escaped and the three other elders have also fled. FATHER IN PITY URGES DEATH. Appeals to Doctors to Give Boy Poison and End His Miserv. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 27.—"Give the boy carbolic acid and put him out of his misery," was the prayer of the father of little Joseph Hammer to the physicians operating upon the youth, who had been run over by an Iron Mountain train. The boy is but 14, and his arm was taken off at the shoulder and his leg a few inches below the body. Should he survive his injuries he will be a hopeless cripple. He cannot wear an artificial leg, as there is nothing to which it can be attached, nor can he hold a crutch under the stump of his arm.

Employes of Public Printing Office Must Swear Allegiance to Government. MAKE STRIKE IMPOSSIBLE. Officials Decide to Make All Men in Office Subscribe to Civil Service Oath: IN CONNECTION WITH MILLER CASE Washington, D. C., Aug. 27.--Consternation has been created at the government printing office, where recently there has been so much trouble between the unions and the government over the case of Foreman Miller, when Public Printer Palmer ordered all the heads of divisions to appear before a notary public and take an oath of allegiance to the United States government. The order will be extended to take in not only the heads, but every employee, union or non-union, in the government printing office. Mr. Palmer said he issued this order at the direction of a high government official whose name he did not give. The union members are bewildered and cannot account for the move, yet they feel they have been dealt what they will find to be a hard blow if they attempt to carry out any of the numerous threats to strike if the government does not dismiss Miller on account of the personal charges now pending against him. The oath of allegiance which is taken by all the members of the typographical union and by the members of other unions is held by some persons to be in direct contravention of the oath of allegiance to the United States government. The significant part of the typographical union oath is the following: "I hereby solemnly and sincerely swear that my fidelity to the union and my duty to the members thereof shall in no sense be interfered with by any allegiance I may now or hereafter owe to any other organization, social, political or religious." While nothing can be gained from any official here beyond the statement that this action is merely taken to put the per diem employees on the same basis as those employed by the year, it is confidently believed here that this action will enable the government to hold every member, of a union who attempts to strike guilty of a violation of his oath. All the employees of the government printing office hereby are put in the same relation to the government under the oath to serve it faithfully as the employees of the other departments. The threats to strike are not considered sincere, but with the strikers under an oath of allegiance to the United States government a refusal to work because of the continued employment of Foreman Miller would put them in the position of considering the allegiance to their union greater than to the United States government. In that event the President would be justified in summarily discharging them. There is strong feeling in the unions and elsewhere that Miller will be continued in office despite the charges against him, for the present at least, or until the trouble has subsided. The oaths administered are those prescribed for government clerks by the civil service laws. LIVES SAVED BY BRAVE WOMAN. Husband and Three Children Taken from Burning House in Storm. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 27.—With her lungs filled with smoke and with flames blazing beneath her, Mrs. Richard Rolfe carried her three children from a burning house in a terrific thunderstorm. Breathing a prayer for the preservation of her children, she dashed back into the building and dragged her husband from the bed. The parents had barely escaped when they discovered that their eldest child, Charles, aged 6, was missing. The intrepid woman darted into the dwelling a second time and found the boy asleep on the bed, to which he had returned in a stupor. She quickly carried him out to safety. RESPITE COMES ON GALLOWS.

TOOK CASH; LEFT STAMPS. Too Smart to Handle Anything but Currency--The Cracksmen Make Good NOT EVEN A STRANGER IN TOWN. Whitewater, Wis., Aug. 27.—[Special.] The postoffice here was broken open last night and a considerable amount of cash was taken. The lock on the outer door of the building was picked and the glass of the private inner door was smashed, the burglars thus gaining entrance to the office. They then bored a hole in the safe door, and blew it open with dynamite. They took $300 in currency, but left the stamps untouched, although there were several hundred dollars worth that they might have taken. The burglary must have occurred between 12 and 1 o'clock. The night watchman visited the place at 12, and everything seemed all right. The lamp was burning as usual, and was found burning this morning at 6 o'clock when the robbery was discovered. No trace or clue of the robbery has been found and the police say that there was not even a stranger in town yesterday. Every possible effort is being made to apprehend the thieves, and telegraphic messages are being sent in every direction. PUT THEFT AT $1,000,000.

RAISING ALLIGATORS. One Breeder Has Farms in Arkansas and Florida The departure by express from New Orleans of two cages of small live alligators to Hot Springs, Ark., disclosed the existence at that place of an alligator ranch for the purpose of raising alligators for the market and that another alligator ranch, owned by the same breeder, is in operation in Florida. The hunting of alligators has almost exterminated them in Louisiana and Florida, and it is evident that in a few years the wild alligator will be extinct. In view of this and the great demand for alligators for zoological departments an effort is being made to raise them by hand. A considerable part of this year's hatchings instead of being mounted is being sent to the Arkansas and Florida ranches and raised for the market. It is a slow process but it is thought that the alligator will become so much more valuable when the wild ones are killed off that it will pay to raise them.

As soon as he learned of his companion's condition he became mad with grief. Strange Offertories Are Smoke-Farthings Smoke-farthings were offerings paid in olden days at Whitsuntide to the priest, according to the number of chimneys in his parish. Sometimes these dues were demanded by the bishop of the diocese, as an old manuscript records: "The bishop of Elie hath out of everie parish in Cambridgeshire a certain tribute called smoke-farthings, which the church wardens do levie according to the number of chimneys that be in a parish." Peter's pence or smoke-money was still paid at the end of the Sixteenth century in many English parishes. Similar to this was a chimney tax levied from time to time to raise funds. This was most obnoxious to the people, and Pepys in his diary notes: "Much clamour against chimney-money; and the people say they will not pay it without force." It was abolished in the reign of William and Mary. American Tea. The tea garden of Dr. Shephard Summerville, twenty miles inland from Charleston, S. C., now covers 100 acres and yields 8000 pounds of tea worth a dollar a pound. The United States imposes no duty on tea, while England taxes it 12 cents a pound and France 30 cents. A duty of 15 cents on foreign teas, says Dr. Shephard, would enable the American planter to meet competition and would exclude the "trashy" teas, while adding but one-twenty-fifth of a cent to the cost of one's cup of tea.

The Belle Gets Fastened on a Rock and Seasick Passengers Are Kept Out All Night. Appleton, Wis., Aug. 25.—[Special.]—The steamer Belle, of the Hart Steamboat line of Green Bay, laden with an excursion party consisting of several hundred persons, struck a rock about a mile off the Neenah lighthouse on Lake Winnebago, at 10 o'clock Sunday night. The boat became so thoroughly fastened that it was impossible to move her. The excursionists for a time were panic-stricken and feared that the craft might spring a leak and sink. A high sea was on the lake and most of the passengers were seasick. Distress signals were hoisted and whistles were sounded, but the wind was off land and the sound was not heard at Neenah. Early Monday morning a passing steamer saw the Belle and came to the rescue, taking many of the passengers to shore. The excursion was from this city and much anxiety was caused by the delay of the party in not returning home at the usual time. The Belle was in charge of Capt. Dezenier of Green Bay.

When Will McConnell was the man- ager for Amelia Bingham some few months ago he acquired the habit of leav- ing the theater immediately after the house was “counted up.” He found the Lambs club or some billiard room a more pleases loafing place than the theater. Miss Bingham noticed his absence once or twice, and then spoke to him, sug: gesting that he stay at the theater until the curtain was rung down on the last act. a “But why should I stay around the theater?’ asked Mr. McConnell. “There is nothing I can do here.” “Something might happen,” suggested Miss Bingham. ‘The theater might eateh fire.” = : “What if it did?” asker her manager. “pm net a fireman.”"—New York Times. ——— taw’s This?

A returned missionary tells the story of a tiny baby girl who was brought to her dispensary in Soochow. Two young Chinamen were carrying it and in a very awkward and embarrassed manner they told her the story. They had found, it in a straw shanty, its mother dying, and had left $10 with her and brought the baby where it would have proper care. Though they were taking the baby only for its own good, their ideas of honesty would not permit them to do so without leaving a sum of money with the one they considered the “rightful owner.” A bottle of Bruder'’s “Botanical” Zen- tah Balsam is better than a doctor in the house.

Those crush belts of leather, made very broad and the soft leather set in plaits, the whole thitig 2% or 3 inches wide, have been among the smartest of the belts this year. They are used most in red and in white. Initial buckles are worn with them fre- quently, the letters in the big harness style used on other articles of leather. and of silver, gold and copper. These may be used singly er combined. One rather small round buckle has three initials, one in copper, one in silver, and the third in gold. One of the handsomest of the buckles is a broad oval, over 3 inches wide and baving three initials on it, this all in the gold. The latter metal has the effect of the brass that is used in fine harnesses. A crush belt with a buckle like this will cost $12.50. There are broad belts of the pliable leather, made, hewever, each of one straight piece without the folds. These have plain square-cornered buckles, the width of the belt and narrow, covered with leather the color of the belt. They come in delicate shades, the pale pinks axd blues as weil as the reds and whites. They are pretty, but there has not been the demand for them that there has been for the crush belts.—New York Times. Identifving Her Husband. the man at the news stand might know, Mrs. Gibbons hovered uncertainly around the pictorial exhibit, trying te screw up a suddenly waning courage, und then found yoice to say engagingly: “IT am looking for my husband.” “What did you say, lady?” The man stopped in his work of sorting papers. “I'm looking for my husband. He's been waiting for me here a jong time— with a party—but he’s gone now. I thought perhaps he had left some mes- sage here with you.” “What kind of looking man was he? asked the news clerk. He leaned for- ward companionably. “He—he’s tall, and clean shaven, with a light overcoat, and blue eyes—and—" She groped around for some distinguish- ing characteristic to elicit a gleam of re- sponse—“a square chin—with a dimple in it.” She felt her own fatuousness, “You—you'd know him if you saw him.” The clerk turned to a boy who had ap- peared behind the counter, “Did you see a man with a light over- coat, and—” a spasm passed over his face—“and a dimple in his chin? Did he leave any message here?’ Mrs. Gib- bons felt hotly that he was laughing at her, although he looked impassive. “Naw,” said the boy, “he didn't leave no message with me.” He added on re- fiection, “I ain't seen no owe hanging ‘round but a chunky feller with a black mustache.” “He hasn't seen any one but a’ stout man with a black mustache,” reported the clerk officially, while two pairs of eyes stared at her in a disconcerting manner. “That's him,” she said, with a sich of evident relief.—McClure’s Magazine. Love a La Mode. The oak heralded his approach to the maple, and the maple whispered it to the chestnut that stood at the other side of the straight-backed, divisioned park bench, and sheltered it with protecting arms against the sprinkling drops that had just begun to fall. “He cometh,” said the oak. wee is with him,” answered the ma- ple. The chestnut, keenly alert, sighed and waited. Presently they cane, leisurely, making straight for the bench. He threw away ‘the end of his cigar and opened his um- brella, tipping it sideways so as to com- pletely bar the view of the oak, the ma- ple and the policeman at the near cross- ing. “What are they saying?’ the others asked of the chestnut. “Nothing!” “What are they doing?’ - But the chestnut was too deeply inter- ested to respond, Presently the rain ceased to patter and the moon broke throngh, but the two, oblivions, still held the open umbrella close to their heads. A distant clock poetically toiled 11. The near poheeman brutally ordered them to move on. They got up as from a dream. He struck a match, lit a cigar- ette, and then they walked away arm in arm, “Such is love.” sighed the maple. “Aye, aye.” responded the oak. “Oh, pshaw!” interjected the chestnut, “it is a different girl every time.”—The Owl in Town Topics.

Strange Explanation of Peculiar Mark- Ings on a Public Buildinc. —— a a Se Gne of the plinths in the north front of the new federal building promises ill for the peace of mind of the inveterate toper, for on its surface, in a delicate tracery, is apparently the outline ot many rattlesnakes. An old stone man from the Bedford quarries called atten- tion to the freak several days ago, and said that such markings were very un- usual. According to his story these snakes existed many years ago, in prehistoric times, back in the era when the plots for fairy stories were laid. Possibly these snakes were cold, according to his story, anyway they coiled closely to one another and in that form were petrified and were gradually turned into stone. The stone expert also pointed out where the ratties of the snake may be seen plainly. One of the most peculiar features of the stone is the fact that the tracery shows most plainly during damp weath- er, and if it were on the south side of the building, it is said, the sun would scon bleach its delicate tracery until it would be no longer discernible. On ac- count of its present situation the sun seldom reaches it, but when it does the outlines of the snakes completely dis- appear.—Indianapolis News. IS YOUR PIPE TIRAMALI? If So, It Is Genuine, but It May Be Something Else. Meerschaum, the beautiful white earth which is used for expensive pipes, is found in exceptional quantities in the village of Brussa, in Asiatic Turkey, where 2000 small mines are being worked now. Most of the miners are Perisans and Kurds. They dig a hole into the earth till they strike a bed of red clay in which ‘the meerschaum lies in kidney-shaped pieces, usually about as big as a walnut and rarely larger than an apple. After a pee is dug out of the clay it is cleaned by ee the surface with a knife and is then ready for sale. Every Friday the dealers gather, and ‘the mcerschaum is sold in open market. ‘There are four qualities—tiramali, birem- birlik, pambukli and dakme. he buyers come from Eskischehr and about a dozen of them control the market. They wrap the meerschaum carefully in cotton and sell it for high prices. Only about 3000 pounds of Hskischehr meerschaum are obtained in a year. ————-___. | Te Chektikis Ae | SUL Springs, Jenn.

MILWAUKEE, WI THE PO The actual men and women with whom we have to deal are so crude, so angular, compared with the men and women that we create out of the subtle element of thought. The actual society in which we live is so mediocre, so lusterless, so wanting in proportion, compared with the society that we have lived with on the heights of imagination, on the peaks where we dream our fairest dreams. Now, this servitude is an inevitable result of an unbalanced subjectivity, and the cure for it is to get into the habit of living less inside ourselves, and more outside ourselves in the great world of nature, and in that yet more interesting world made up of actual women and actual men. What we want to learn to do is to see things as they are, and to do so we must objectivize our consciousness, our life. Here, for instance, is a person afflicted with what in England is so appropriately called "the hurries." When in England people are in a state of great internal agitation, fretfulness, nervousness or undue anxiety, they say they have "the hurries." So many of us have this malady, of disordered and incoherent nerves. And this malady has its roots in subjectivity. We live too much within ourselves, and this interior world of ours, great though it be, is far too small a sphere for the soul to realize its infinite possibilities and to attain its largest and its richest life. The secret of calm, the secret of a balanced and an ordered mind; the secret of poise, is not Christian science; it is the secret of common sense, of living out in touch with nature, the best of all physicians, the most perfect therapeutic and the most salubrious of all the forces that can minister to the mind diseased or to the heart distressed. Here is a woman who is unhappy in her marital relations. Her husband is a good man, a plain, simple man, like any one of a thousand other men. A little while ago she was quite happy in the possession of "her man," whom she voluntarily chose to be her husband, "for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer." and now she is dissatisfied, restless, unhappy. Why? The reason I think in the great majority of instances is traceable to the subjective disease of excessive idealization. She pictures to herself an ideal man, in all things perfect, chivalrous, gracious, tender, intellectual, urbane, endowed with all the talents and with all the charms, but she forgets that this ideal man is not to be found anywhere upon this planet earth. He is the creature of her dreams, a pattern that exists only in the mount of imagination. And I believe that a great deal of this sorrow of the home would be dispelled like mist before a breeze if men and women were to cease thinking so much of the ideal and to live more in the actual. If instead of living so much within ourselves with the ideal husband that we have not married, or the ideal wife that we have not married, we would, while our young love was yet intense and warm and strong, dedicate ourselves unreservedly to the actual man or the actual woman we have married; if we would say he is not perfect, she is not perfect, but I shall do my best to make him perfect, my best to make her perfect. I am sure that an immense weight of sorrow would, by this very simple process of objectivity, be lifted from the heart of the world. How, too, the externalization of thought makes for freedom and catholicity in the matter of religion. One of the sad facts of the world today, as in all past days, is the fact of exclusiveness in our religious life. The Protestant lives so exclusively in his Protestantism that he will not see any truth in Catholicism. The Catholic lives so exclusively in his Catholicism that he will not see any truth in Protestantism. And they are both honest, both sincere. The Protestant is honest, sincere in his narrowness; the Catholic honest, sincere in his narrowness. The trouble is they do not understand each other. They live too entirely within themselves, within their own notions, within their own creeds and symbols, within the narrow confine of their own church. And not knowing each the other's point of view, not knowing each the other's belief, the other's history, the other's contribution to civilization, they fear and antagonize each the other. And what is the remedy for this? Again it is objectivity, living in the other man's world, trying to understand the process of his thought, living in his tradition, in his belief, in his liturgy, in his ceremonials. And were the churches so to externalize their thought, though the unity of Christendom might be yet far distant, Christians would at least live in happy amity, and the churches in perfect concord. BELIEF IN A PERSONAL CHRIST. By Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst. Heresy hunters, by which I mean men who go about sniffing after here- sy, are a diminishing factor in our midst. Breadth is in keeping with the wide, embracing spirit of the gospel. One reason why, just in this age of the world, men would welcome a theology that displaces personal commitment to a personal Christ by personal commitment to the general cause Christ came to promote is that the latter idea carries with it the idea of doing something. It means action, and action is the genius of our generation, at least in the States. But when a preacher says that the fundamental fact in Christianity is not conversion to the humanitarian work that Christ came to do and encourage, he is giving the direct lie to facts as the gospel states them, to the truth as Christ declared it and to the spirit as the first disciples exemplified it. PASTOR CLOSE TO PEOPLE. Like the famous picture of Rembrandt, painted by himself, so this is Christ's own portraiture by Christ's own pencil. It would be interesting to trace the parallel between the oriental shepherd in his relations to his flock and Christ in His relations to His people, but my purpose is rather to point out the bearing of this parable of the good shepherd upon the life work of a Christian pastor. For the name "pastor" is only the Latin term for a shepherd. In the representation of Himself as the great shepherd of the sheep our Lord has defined exactly what the pastor of a congregation should aim to be. I wish that less were said nowadays about the authority of the ministry and more about its special work. Men are not driven by authority into the kingdom of Christ. Our Lord says that the good shepherd is one who goes before the flock and, instead of driving, leads them. In Palestine the business of the shepherd was to lead his sheep to pasturage where the food indispensable to life is to be found. In the same way the one duty of the Christian shepherd is to make sure that his sheep are fed. That fact should determine the character of preaching. Not of necessity the preaching which collects a crowd. The beating of a gong can do that. Nor the delivery of learned and eloquent lectures. Real preaching is that which feeds the soul. Men go away, not saying: "How beautiful!" "How eloquent!" but "How helpful!" "How it touched my conscience!" "How it strengthened me for my battles!" But this pastoral feeding of the flock is not limited to pulpit effort. The good shepherd "calls his sheep by name, and they know his voice." Clearly something is wrong in our methods when the minister is called a "pastor," that is, a shepherd, and yet knows as little of his people as a railway conductor knows of the passengers under his charge. The pastor who is a stranger to the inner lives and to the homes of his people is like one who tries to evoke music from the instrument whose strings or keys he does not know one from another. In our great cities the clergy are not wholly in fault when they have given up the effort to know their people. Too much outside work is laid upon them which laymen would do as well or better. How far from the standard I have set up to-day my own long ministry has been I am more conscious than you. But it is the only standard. When my work is ended, rather than any other epitaph would I have this written above my dust: "He was a pastor who fed the flock." WORLD NEEDS THE BIBLE. Man needs a revelation of deity. Greece, the brain of the world in its clearest philosophic age, had its Athens with an altar bearing the piteous inscription, "To the unknown God." Socrates, the greatest pagan thinker, acknowledged this need of revelation, saying: "We must of necessity wait till some one from Him who careth for us shall come and instruct us how we ought to behave toward God and toward men." Plato said: "We cannot know of ourselves what petition will be pleasing to God, or what worship we should pay to him, but it is necessary that a lawgiver should be sent from heaven to instruct us. Oh, how greatly do I long to see that man!" Man needs a revelation of duty. Ancient philosophers and modern skeptics give us no code of morals comparable to the Bible code. Those familiar with classics and with the history of Greece and Rome in their balmiest days, as well as the writings and lives of modern skeptics, such as Rousseau, Voltaire, Palne and others, need no demonstration of the world's need of such a code as the Bible supplies. Professor Huxley, the father of modern agnotisticism, pleaded with the school board for the Bible as the source of the highest education for children; he also confessed perplexity "to know by what practical measures the religious feeling, which is the essential basis of conduct, was to be kept up in the present utterly chaotic state of opinions on these matters without the use of the Bible." Matthew Arnold recommended the study of the Bible for the same reason. Saxony has one of the best-regulated systems of forestry in the world, the net profits from the forests amounting annually to over $2,000,000. 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. Hope was drowned in that bottle. Prospects were wiped out in it. Manhood was left at the bottom of it. It is small, but contains the story of half the world's sorrows and failures. A man comes into the world prepared to do his share of the world's work, well or ill, as his brain and his physical strength may decide. Of all his qualities the most important practically is balance. The whisky in that bottle destroys the balance, both mental and physical. It dulls the conscience, which alone can make men do their duty, in spite of temptation, and struggle on to success in spite of exhaustion. Keep away from this bottle and keep away from those who praise it. He who hands it to his fellow man is a criminal, and he who hands it to a young man is a worse criminal and a villain. It is a well established fact that in the usual course of events drunkenness would be handed down from father to son, and hundreds of thousands of families would be ultimately wiped out by whisky. It is not true, fortunately, that the son of a drunkard actually inherits drunkenness fully developed. But a drunkard gives to his son weakened nerves and a diminished will power, which tend to make him a drunkard more easily than his father was made a drunkard before him. Whisky gives a great many things to men-negative gifts, most of them. Of these gifts here are a few: Lack of friends, lack of will, lack of self-reliance, lack of nervous force-lack of everything save the hideous craving that can end only with unconsciousness, and that begins again with increased suffering when consciousness is restored. With the fear of whisky, there should be impressed upon children sympathy and sorrow for the unfortunate drunkard. One of the ablest men, and one of the most earnest in America, said to his friends recently: "I never drink, as you know, but when I see a man lying drunk in the gutter I know that he has probably made that very day a nobler struggle to control himself than I ever made in my life. He has yielded and fallen at last, but only because all of his strength is insufficient to overcome the disease that possesses him." Teach your children that drunkenness is a horrible disease, as bad as leprosy. Teach them that it can be avoided; that the disease is contracted in youth through carelessness, and that it is spread by those who encourage drinking in others. Tell them that the avoiding of whisky is not merely a question of morals or obedience to parents, but a question involving mental and physical salvation, success in life, happiness and the respect of others. Chicago American. Proof Against the Plague. The organization of the first abstinence society in Austria in July, 1899, followed a peculiar chain of circumstances, being the direct result of the sudden and great popularity which overtook a young abstaining physician, Dr. Rudolph Poech, during the days of the plague in 1898. A servant of the pathological institute, while helping in experiments the physicians of the Austrian plague expedition recently returned from India, became infected and died. In caring for this man, the physician in charge, Dr. Hermann Mueller, and a man nurse were stricken down also. When these two and a second nurse who was suspected of being infected were placed in an isolated apartment of the epidemic hospital, Dr. Poech of his own accord asked to be given the case, although he was under no obligation to do so. As the youngest member of the plague expedition he had learned to know the disease in Bombay. For fifteen days Dr. Poech lived in the isolated apartment, separated from his friends by a grating through which they passed him medicine and food, connected with the world outside by telephone alone. The sick physician and the nurse soon died and he had to bury them himself within the pest quarters. The hospital directors did not omit to lighten the severe, self-imposed task of the heroic physician by offering him succour in the form of that strongest of liquors, champagne. But to their astonishment, he sent the champagne back to them, stating that he preferred to place his confidence in mineral water and tea. On being released fom quarantine, Dr. Poech found himself the most prominent physician in Vienna, and he at once took advantage of this situation to open a campaign against alcohol, the result being the present abstinence society. Temperance Notes. A large lumber company recently refused to build its factories in a California town unless they were given a sufficient guarantee that no liquor would be sold in the town or within six miles of it. A young man was shot down in the streets of Atlanta some years ago. He had been drinking. The man who shot him had been drinking. In his pocket was found a list containing the names of 85 young men. On the paper was written: "These young men to my knowledge during the past few years have gone to their graves by liquor in Atlanta, Ga."
