WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AND HIS TRADUCERS. VOLUME V. BOOKER T. HIS TRA The Boston Guardian, Washington Bee. Progressive American and a few other Negro journals have set out to destroy the good and great work of Booker T. Washington and decry his national popularity. The arguments sound like peanut shells hurled against a stone wall and effect as much. They had as well "spit against the wind." The organization of a league in Boston in opposition to Booker T. Washington is supreme folly—the acme of jealous hate upon the part of the apostles of higher education. Collecting up snap comments from irresponsible sources, fastening them together and putting them out for the public to read, by some Negro papers, is an insult to decency, a disgrace to a portion of the Negro press. Their rant, snarl, jumble and jumping jack editorials are simply ridiculous, while they are helpful to Mr. Washington's cause. They humiliate the Negro in the presence of the thoughtful white community, and display a character of virusness which the Negro only can emit from a deadly jealousy when sprung against members of his own race. "Who spits against the wind, spits in his own face." These journals, coore- OUR EXCHANGES John Temple Graves, the Atlanta outlaw, spoke at the University of Chicago Thursday and well sustained his character as a dangerous outlaw and a smooth inciter of mob violence and race prejudice. His speech was a tissue of falsehoods and rhetorical defamation of a race he claims is the weakest of all races. Graves is a missionary of the devil and an imp of hell. When he stated that the white women of the south were practically shut in prison for fear of being outraged by Negro men, he lied knowingly and with malice aforethought. When he declared that the south would be better off with the Negro eliminated from that section he knew he was not representing the white people of his section and was talking through his internal old hat for buncomb. However, as Graves, Tillman and Jones make good monkey shows for the curious people of the north, with little lasting honor, let the circus go on. Conservator (Chicago). What Negroes Don't Wear A lady entered a dry goods store not long since and told the salesman to show her something that Negroes did not wear. The gentleman asked, "Did I understand you to say that you wished to see a kind of goods not worn by Negroes?" She replied in the affirmative. He stood and pondered for a moment, then darting a few steps away, returned with a bolt of white jeans. He said: "Madam, here's something Negroes do not wear now. They were compelled to wear it before the war, but have not worn it since. They wear everything else we have in stock." The lady, highly indignant, turned on the salesman a glance of scorn and rapidly walked away—Palladium. --- spondents and writers remind us of a "corn field" Negro preacher taking exceptions to and joining issue with Dr. Watts, Dr. Clark and Henry Ward Beecher, only they lack the philosophy of a "corn field preacher."—Voice of the People (Pittsburg, Pa.). The Wisconsin Weekly Advocate, in accordance with the action which it has consistently taken in this controversy, heartily endorses every word of the above article from The Voice of the People. It is not only the voice of the editor of that paper, but the opinion of the vast majority of right-thinking people. A work such as Washington is carrying on cannot be downed by all the malignant spite of envious would-be leaders of the race. Because he has been successful he is traduced by his own people, this giving opportunity for sneers to enemies of the race. So long as this state of matters continues, and there is not a pull all together, there will never be real progress. The railroad companies should discourage the Negro excursion and encourage the colored brother to patronize the freight department. Here the Negro would not find Gen. Jim Crow commanding.—Express (Dallas, Tex.). * * * Those Boston colored folk who were sent to jail a few days ago for disturbing Mr. Washington's meeting have climbed over the fence and are out. They have gone to work organizing the Negro Suffrage league, which is only another name for trouble. The organization, while it does not say so, has for its object the opposing of Booker Washington, and like all petty spite work, is doomed to failure. Now Booker T. Washington is working, and while to our mind, his work is not perfect, still he is doing a great deal more to help the country than half a thousand of his loudest critics.—Express (Dallas, Tex.). [The last sentence of the above has been changed slightly, as in our opinion coarse invective redounds upon the writer. Ed. Advocate.] "Patience, education and fair play will settle the Negro question. Let the Negro live for the Negro and under Negro leadership. Let him be encouraged to go elsewhere if he wishes to do so. Let him talk of social equality among the members of his own race. Since oil and water will not mix, let us stop trying to mix them, but let us concede that both are good and wholesome."—Chicago Daily News. --- The best and wisest thing for American Negroes to do today is, to keep to himself from a laborer's standpoint, make friends with the intelligent and better class of white people, trust the God that brought him out of the southern bondage, and last, but not least, by preparation with his face toward the enemy, standing like a brave man and die only in the last ditch in defense of MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, SEPTEMBER 17, 1903. his God-given rights. Good men cannot do more, brave men ought not to do less. —American Eagle. Mr. John Temple Graves said it over again at Chicago last week, but what do we care? We are here to stay, knowing that we are acquiring worth and intelligence so as to measure up to every requirement of citizenship.—The Richmond Reformer. A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR Milwaukee is being visited this week by Mr. James D. Gardner, Roman Catholic missionary to the Negro race. He comes to this city with the very highest credentials, among these being the endorsement of his work for the uplifting of his race by Archbishop Ireland, the archbishops of Dubuque and Cincinnati and the bishops of Green Bay, Grand Rapids and Fort Wayne. His mission, which extends over the whole of the United States, is to distribute healthy literature and do what he can to inculcate purity of life and especially the religious training of the young members of the Negro race in their homes and schools. His special mission to Milwaukee was to look up and report upon the home and school for colored children, located at 177 South Bay street, conducted by Rev. H. B. Alexander and Bishop Jackson, and also to report upon the work of the editor of the Wisconsin Weekly Advocate. Mr. Gardner has given both of these institutions careful investigation and his report to his superiors will be that in all his travels, only in Wisconsin has he found really good work being done for the uplifting of the race, morally and religiously. It is a very gratifying fact to have the endorsement of a gentleman of such wide and varied experience as Mr. Gardner and we commend him and his work to our people in this and the different states through which our paper circulates. All workers towards that end, which is so desirable, of whatever religious persuasion, should receive a warm welcome by those who have the true interests of the race at heart, and we feel sure that Mr. Gardner, whose personality, by the way, is charming, will receive that welcome. Especially do we hope that he will receive the right hand of fellowship in Wisconsin, and this he is sure to do, seeing that he has the endorsement of Bishop Messmer of Green Bay, whom we hope soon to see occupying that higher position in the church, to which his learning, piety and worth, both as a Christian and a Churchman, in our opinion, clearly entitles him. Next week we will present to our readers a portrait of Mr. Gardner, with a full account of his life and work. CATHOLIC CITIZEN NOTES The Cathedral club of St. John's cathedral has opened for the season of 1903. The rooms are beautifully renovated; the various games, reading rooms and the very excellent orchestra are most attractive. The rooms are open from 8 to 10 o'clock every evening. All young men from 16 to 25 years of age, are earnestly invited to call. A public reception will soon be given. Father Daly is in charge. The regular meetings are held on the second and fourth Moudays of each month. The orchestra meets every Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock in the clubrooms. At next Monday evening's meeting of the A. O. H., Charles M. Scanlan will deliver an address on Robert Emmett and an informal entertainment will be given. On that evening also President John T. Kelly will deliver his annual address and there will be several important committee reports. The Knights of Columbus have issued a neatly bound vest pocket roster and directory of the local council of the order. The council now numbers 289 members. A Good Advice.

"Fighting Mac's" Horse. Under the will of the late Sir Hector Macdonald directions were given that his well known charger should be shot, the hoofs being preserved as mementos. Before the contents of the will were known in Ceylon the animal was sold to A. R. de Soysa, a wealthy Singalese gentleman. He has now intimated his readiness to hand over the horse to Lady Macdonald on condition that it is not killed, or, on the other hand, to retain it, undertaking that whenever the death of the animal (which is now in Ceylon) shall take place the hoofs shall be forwarded to the son of the late general.—London Daily Chronicle.

Sunday last was the closing Sunday of the conference year and in the evening a crowded church testified to the success which Dr. Fenwick, the pastor, has attained during the past year. The reverend doctor preached feelingly. Resolutions eulogizing the late Lawson Hancock were offered by Miss Lucy Harding and unanimously adopted. A numerously signed petition to the conference, which is being held at Des Moines, Ia., praying for the pastor's reappointment, was sent up to that conference. If the desire of the large majority is complied with and the reverend doctor returns to this charge, we trust, in accord with his best friends, that he will at once settle down to the work which he has so well commenced, but will leave all former grievances forever in the background; that he will not be so continually referring directly or indirectly to these grievances, but that he will preach the gospel, pure and undefiled, which is what the congregation of St. Mark's needs and desires. If he does this his hands will be upheld by us and his other friends, but not unless. Dr. Fenwick must know that the longer mud is stirred the greater the stench will be, and therefore we trust that if he is returned to Milwaukee he will refrain and "be good." St. John's Evangelical E. M. E. Church. The services at the above church were conducted by Rev. Alice Tinsley, who is assisting Rev. Alexander in his work. She preached an impressive sermon, after which Mr. Gardner, referred to elsewhere, addressed the audience. This school is in a flourishing condition numerically, there being twenty-seven pupils enrolled, and seems to be doing good work. The representative of The Advocate paid an unexpected visit to the colored industrial school at Bay View Wednesday afternoon. He found the children after school hours enjoying a game of baseball in the grounds adjoining the school. The pitchers were on one side the principal, Mr. Alexander, and on the other one of the pupils, James Boyer. The game was umpired by Mr. James D. Gardner, Catholic missionary, who is visiting the institution at present. The principal was completely defeated by his pupil by a score of 38 to 11. During the game the defeated side howled for justice, and after the game was over cried for mercy. It is gratifying to find things in such a satisfactory state, and to find pupils and teachers in such perfect accord. We are sorry to learn of the serious illness of Miss Minnie Bland, 44 Eighth street. Late last week she was attacked with appendicitis and taken to the Children's hospital on Farwell avenue. The editor visited that institution Sunday last, but the patient was too ill to be seen. We learn since that time that she is making some progress towards recovery, and we trust that she may soon be back among her numerous friends again. ☆ ☆ ☆ Mrs. J. E. Merriman paid a visit to Milwaukee to spend the week end and Sunday with her husband. * * * When in need of a good polish our readers could not do better than visit the parlor of Mr. Bob Wise, located at 197 Third street, opposite Slaughter's restaurant.

Mr. Healy is ably supported by his staff, consisting of George Hedger, T. Gray, D. Cochran, D. Budd, D. Ballard, M. Robinson, writers, and Ed Bonds, B. McFalls, P. Wilkins, W. Bryant and T. Taylor, who have charge of the culinary department. Mr. Healy is soon moving to his new residence in Chicago, when we will have more to say about him. * * * Prof. Eph. Williams, Tenth street, who has been sick, is able to be up and about again. We are sorry that the weather has been against the professor in his show business, but his well known pluck will overcome his temporary disappointment. Mrs. Williams, his amiable wife, is now in the pink of condition, and as usual welcomes her friends to her charming home and family circle, consisting of her husband and four interesting children. Lily, John, Vivian and Josephine. We are sorry to learn of the death of that well known and esteemed resident of Chicago, Mr. Beasey. His friends have our deepest sympathy in their bereavement. Mr. S. R. Snowdon, proprietor of the Keystone hotel, Chicago, accompanied by his wife, were in the city this week as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Slaughter, who royally entertained them. They left Thursday for a visit of a few days to Waukesha. We are sorry to learn of the sickness of Mrs. Minor, wife of our esteemed friend, Mr. Shelton Minor, of the Pfister hotel. We wish her a speedy recovery to be a comfort and joy to her husband and relations. Mr. Lee Woodard intends shortly to take his vacation and spend a few weeks by doing a trip throughout the northwest, in the copper regions especially, visiting friends. Mrs. W. M. Coleman, 553 Third street, entertained Mrs. Lewis, of Washington, D. C., and also Mrs. Dr. Kennibrew of Jacksonville, Ill., last Friday evening. The editor last Sunday evening paid a visit to Calvary Presbyterian church, where the pastor conducted the service for the first time after his return from Alaska. The reverend gentleman is much invigorated and refreshed by his visit to the far northwest and preached in his usual lucid and instructive manner. It is refreshing to sit under the instructions of such an eminent preacher, and it was gratifying to note the presence of several members of the Negro race, who have been driven from their own church by the divisions amongst the members, and who are glad of the opportunity to listen to a gospel sermon instead of recriminations and stirring up of mud. The singing was as usual very fine. Next Sunday evening the reverend doctor will give a lecture on his trip to Alaska, which is bound to prove both interesting and instructive. We advise our readers to avail themselves of the opportunity and attend Calvary church on that occasion. *** Mr. Charles Thorning is the right man in the right place and we are indebted to him for many courtesies received. *** The public are invited to call at the hotel and restaurant now tenanted by Fred Vidish and Cortos Michalae and located at 225 Fourth street.

It has been decided that the King's private band, which consists of thirty-four of the best musicians in England, shall be disbanded at the end of September. The present band, which is conducted by Sir Walter Parratt, is the successor of many others retained by our monarchs for the past four or five centuries to perform light and eupeptic music during the royal meals, and on state occasions of a private or semi-private character. It is probable, we are told, that another band, differently constituted, will take its place. Against the Drinking Song. A society has been formed in Germany which would abolish one of the most honored institutions of the fatherland, the song which celebrates the virtues of drink which is more or less alcoholic. The leader of the movement is Dr. Otto von Leixner, a well-known social reformer. In a pamphlet on the subject he declaims most vehemently against 'The Muse as a Handmaid of Alcohol.' Such songs are sung by the youth of the land, and are more directly responsible for the growth of alcoholism in Germany than any one agency. -In consequence of numerous complaints by peasants about the increase of insects injurious to the crops the French minister of agriculture has ordered a stricter observance of the laws against the slaughter of birds. Dr. Herzl Has Struggled Long for the Establishment of a New Palestine. DB. HARZL Dr. Herzl has struggled long and faithfully for the establishment of a new Palestine, which will apparently be consummated on autonomic principles. Tenements. The housing of the poor is one of the live questions of the day, for it concerns not the poor alone, but the middle class and the rich, inasmuch as where the poor are badly housed there will be disease and anarchy, which endanger the intelligent and thrifty as much as they endanger the ignorant and thrifthless. We are solving the problem after a fashion; at least, we have tenement commissions now in the principal cities, the object of which is to secure more room, air and light for people who insist on living in herds, and we have sanitary inspections, and we have laws to compel landlords to be content with moderate rentals instead of screwing the last possible dollar out of the unfortunates by lodging them as convicts are lodged in prisons. We have abolished the rear tenement, in some places, and have introduced running water and free lectures in the slums. Yet, one has only to walk through the east side of Manhattan to see how far short we come from realizing a right condition. What are all these wretched push cars doing in the public streets, blocking the way and exposing foods for sale that are peppered with the dust and filth of the pavement? What are all those tubs, mattresses and decrepit pans doing on the fire escapes, which should be clear for flight when the rattletrap burns down? Why are such throngs permitted to live under a single roof, and not a square, not a lot left open for a park or playground in miles?—Brooklyn Eagle. The Bass a Snake Destroyer. The bass is a most excellent fish when properly served up. It may be information to some to be *old* that the fine quality of his flesh as food is not the only merit the bass possesses. Section hands in crossing the outlet at Columbia lake a few days ago had their attention drawn to a large bass engaged in a struggle with some other denizen of his habitat. This proved to be a snake which the fish had gripped by the middle and was striving to "make both ends meet" in his stomach. The snake was objecting with all his might, but to small purpose, and at length accepted a position in the "interior department" without civil service examination. That this was not an isolated case appears by The Manchester (Mich.) Eenterprise, which relates that while a company of young people were boating on Sand lake they came upon a bass which appeared so preoccupied as to take no heed of them. A young lady seizing the fish in her hands flopped it into the boat and of course screamed with terror when a fine plump snake was seen dangling from its mouth. It is thus established that the bass is not only a fish of estimable flavor, but renders good service devouring snakes.--Detroit (Mich.) Tribune. Opens and Empties Envelopes. William Garrett, money order clerk at the Springfield (O.) postoffice, has perfected and patented a machine which is a marvel. It is designed to open envelopes in which advices on money orders are mailed, and it slits these envelopes, extracting the contents at the rate of 10.000 an hour it speeded to the limit. In Springfield it is no unusual thing to receive 5000 of these advices in a day, and it is readily seen that it is one clerk's job to take them from the envelopes. Recently somebody patented a machine which cut the envelopes, leaving the contents untouched, but Garrett has gone the inventor one better, and his machine cuts the envelope, takes the advice therefrom, and piles it neatly on a table, while the envelope is cast aside into the waste basket. The machine was tested recently, and it worked perfectly. Some hundreds of envelopes were run through it, and it failed to extract the contents from none. It will remove one or a dozen advices from an envelope, the number enclosed having nothing whatever to do with the facility with which the machine operates.—Springfield (O.) Sun.

Twenty- three of the crew are reported to be drowned. Only one of the crew was saved, Twenty-two Perished. Norfolk, Va., Sept. 17.—The British steamship Roxby, Capt. Shields, which urcived here this morning from Port English, has on board Dommgo Balio Keyarberay, the sole surviver of the crew of twenty-two men on tie British steam- ship Mexicano which foundered with all ou board off the Florida coast Tuesday aight. Reyarberay caught a piece of wreckage and managed to keep up until ie was seen yesterday morning by the Roxby aud rescued. The Spaniard, through an interpreter, told of the Mexicano’s sinking. The steamer was bound from ‘Tampico for Vera Cruz with a cargo of petroleam in bulk when the full foree of the hurricane broke upon her. Mountainous — seas broke constantly over the ship and finally one gigantic wave erasied through the decks. The fire room was flooded and the Mexicano broke helpless. For a few moments she wallowed in the trough of the seas and then plunged to the bottom. ‘The rescued man says hundreds of gal- lous of oil were poured over the ship's side in a vain attempt to calm the sex and, if possible, save the ship. When the Mexicano went down the crew went with her. All boats had Jong since been crushed by the force of the waves and the men were powerless to save them- selves, Saved by Meerest Chance. Halio Reyarberay went under with the vessel and by merest chance became en- tangled in some loose rigging and spars. The buoyancy of these brought him to the surface and he made iimself fast ie the largest spar. For seven hours he floated in a turbulent sea until finally the Roxby hove in sight.

MANY FATAL ACCIDENTS, os Financial Loss in Great Storm. ‘NEW YORK HIT HARD. Beet Steamers Have Thrilling Es- | cape from Fearful Disasters— Yachts Are Wrecked. | New York, Sept. 17.—Theodore Grimes, whose skull was fractured by a section of iron blown by the wind from the stables at Aqueduct race track in yes- terday’s storm, is dead at a hospital. While a freight train on the Long Is land railroad was passing between Minola and Hyde Park the roof of a box ear was carried away by the gale, with Walter Lewis and George B, Snyder, two brakemen, clinging to it. The roof was carried almost a hundred feet from the track, where it collapsed by striking a tree. Both men were fatally injured. In Jamaica bay, Long Island, scores of yachts were wrecked. Most of them were torn from their anchorage — and pounded to pieces on shore, but a good many were caught while sailing in the bay and those aboard had narrow es- capes. The entire fleet of the Jamaic: Bay Yacht club, comprising more than thirty bouts, valued at sums up to $1000, was destroyed. The beaches at New Rochelle on Long Island sound and City island are strewn with wreckage from yachts, and it is estimated that not less than $500,000 damage was done these vessels alone, Reliance Injured. The cup defender Reliance is reported to have been somewhat injured through being rammed by a piledriver which broke loose from its moorings and drifted ou the Reliance’s stern, The racer was heing prepared for winter quarters and had been drawn partially up on ways. Several plates were loosened, but” the damage was not serious. A tug caught the piledriver and towed it away. To prevent the old defender Columbia from being rammed by the schooner yacht Hildegarde, which was dragging her anchor, the Hildegarde was scuttled when within a few feet of Columbia. Her crew of seven men jumped over- bourd and were saved. A. barge loaded with 500 pounds of dynamite broke from its moorings and drifted toward the Larchmont Yacht —¢lubhouse. Many yachts of wealthy New Yorkers have been anchored im this harbor since the races, and it was feared that the barge would drift among them. Careening about, the dynamite barge finally gronnd- ed on the mud flats without doing any damage. Eighteen Lives Lost. Rough estimates of the financial loss due to the storm are $2,000,000 on and around Manhattan island alone. So far eighteen lives are known to have been lest in the storm and it is believed this pumber will be doubled when all reports are in. Steamers Caught by Hurricane.

While not made public, it is stated that it indicates a disposition on the part of the Sublime Porte to take up for settlement questions in which this government is interested, It is stated further that the communication is not sufficiently definite to show what prog- ress is being made by the minister in this direction and that no conclusions were announced.

Constantinople, Sept. 17.—The Porte has received confirmation of the reports that large bands of Bulgarians and Mace- donians, one ot them estimated to num- ber 4000 men, have been preparing to cross the frontier near Kostendil at for- ty-three miles from Sofia.

London, Sept. 17.—The Associated Press learns that Colonial Secretary Chamberlain has decided to resign from the cabinet on the ground that Premier Balfour's attitude on the fiscal question is not sufficiently advanced to enable Mr. Chamberlain to remain a member of the government without the sacrifice of his own views. According to the information conveyed to the Associated Press, the resignation is quite likely to be announced within a day or two, but niay be postponed until Mr. Balfour has an opportunity to make his promised public announcement on Oc- tober 1. There is just a last chance that the King, in his private capacity, may avert what is now declared to be inevi- table, An Appeal to the Country. Mr. Chamberlain's resignation is al- most certain to cause an appeal to the country, Mr. Balfour being thus left without the support of either the protec- tionists or the free traders.. Chancellor of the Exchequer Ritchie and his follow- ers are as openly opposed to any meas- ure of retaliatory tariff as Mr. Chamber- lain is convinced that the unity of em- pire depends on preferential duties in tayor of the colonies. With the exception of a few Liberal organs, which viewed Mr. Balfour's pam- ee as a repudiation of Mr. Chamber- gin’s policy, there has scarcely been a setlotdly considered suggestion that Mr. Chamberlain would retire from office. But the generally accepted opinion. that he would retain his portfolio is shattered and the news when it becomes generally known will come like a thunder clap, not only to the supporters of the government, but to all other political sections. By Mr. Chamberlain's defection, prae- tically all the existing party lines will be swept away,and the construction must jargely depend on Mr, Chamberlain's fu- ture attitude, Ally Himself with Another Party. That he will be content to retire from public life can scarcely be considered. It is believed he will not ally himself with either side, but will rally to the banner of his preferential programme all the support he can gather from every quar- ter, Mr. Chamberlain can rely on the almost solid Irish yote when he confines himself to fiscal ideas, The Associated Press learns definitely that Mr. Chamberlain urged his col- leagues to appeal to the country on the preferential trade issue. He admitted they would be defeated, but maintained that six months of weak, liberal govern- ment would put the party back in power with an improved standing. JETT WOULD CONFESS foci Cynthiana, Ky., Sept. 17.—Thomas Cockrili, witness for the prosecution in the case against Jett for killing his brother, stated that Curtis Jett’s mother had just appealed to him because the friends of her son in former trials were now deserting him.

Shooting on the Bowery in Gotham Re- sult Fatally to Michael Donovan— Many Others Are Injured. New York, Sept. 16.—Michael Dono- yan, stevedore, was shot and killed; John Carroll, a driver, probably was fatally wounded, and several others were badly hurt during a fierce fight early today between the police and an east side gang of toughs. | Donovan was fojind dying in a Bow- ery crag store by a policeman. On his death he refused to reveal the name of his assailant, saying that he would “fix” him when he got out of the hospi- tal. An hour later he died. Four men were arrested and according to the po- lice one of them is “Monk Eastman.” They claim that it was a meeting of members of the “Paul Kelly gang,” and the “Monk Eastman gang” that started the trouble, in which policemen were shot at and for which the reserves of three police stations had to be called out. The police believe the trouble started over the shooting of Dave Bernstein, an east side saloon keeper, some months ago. Several men were arrested for the shooting at the time, but accused and accuser were equally non-committal, all saying that they would get “square” in their own way at some future date. A band of ruffians numbering about thirty, known to the police on the east side as the “Cherry Hill gang,” engaged in a shooting affray early today at Riy- ington and Eldridge streets. One man was seriously wounded and his assailant, pursued by policemen, did not halt until he was brought to the ground by a bul- let. A battle, according to the police, was the result of an old feud between two bands on the east side. atti eitthk hemes kt aam ied onal OATH CONTROVERSY WON BY UNIONISTS. inode Bishop Scannel of Omaha Withdraws De- mand, but Advises Change in Word- ing in Obligation.

It could net be ascertained whether all of the crew was saved owing to the intensity of the storm, which forced all the pas- sergers on the SylIph below deck. On passing up the East river the Sylph was hailed by the naval tug Powhattan, Lieut.-Commander Poundstone, who told Lieut. Preston that it would be impossi- ble and foolhardy to attempt to follow out the President’s plan of continuing to Bilis Island, After a’ consultation with Admiral Rogers, they decided to go to Ellis Island, and he started for there shortly after 2 e’clock, At that hour the storm had abated considerably, The Sylph arrived at Ellis Island at 2:25, At that time it was so rough that 2 landing could not be made.

La Crosse, Wis., Sept. 17.—[Special.] —Weather Observer Grant of the local office is issuing warnings to all people in the lowlands about here to move, as a rise of from one to two feet more is to reach here inside of thirty-six hours. The entire police department is busy circulating the warning to those who live on the banks of the La Crosse river in the north end of town. The stage here now, in the Mississippi, is 11.5 feet and 12 is the danger point fixed by the government, although real havoc begins long before that point is reached. Telephone messages from points around here state that the crop damage is enormous, many farmers having already lost fully half their season's work. Street car traffic to Onalaska, a suburb, is stopped, as the water is eleven inches over the tracks, the water having risen that high over night. Railroads are running all trains slow to avoid accidents. At times the rise has been several inches an hour, and in the levee district wholesale house basements will be flooded before night, and people on French island are moving their cattle to the second stories of their barns. Damage to Corn Irreparable. Cumberland, Wis. Sept. 17.—[Special.]—The four days' incessant rain which prevailed in this locality did not do the damage to the crops that was first reported. A greater portion of the small grain here had been threshed while the balance was well stacked. Potatoes will suffer worse than any other crop, while the damage to corn is irreparable. However, owing to the late, cold spring, little corn was planted in this locality, and taking the good prices that are bound to prevail, Barron county is pretty well fixed on the crop situation.

CAN'T FOOL GAME WARDEN It Is Suspected That Minnesota Hunters Will Try to Bag Game in Wisconsin Without Licenses. Madison, Wis., Sept. 17.—[Special.]—There is a well-defined suspicion in the minds of the Wisconsin game wardens that several Minnesota hunters intend to hunt in this state this fall without the formality or expense of securing Wisconsin licenses, and in order to head them off several deputies are being sent into the section bordering on the Gopher state. The suspicion arises from the fact that only half as many Minnesota men have secured Wisconsin game licenses this year as last, and several of those who have procured licenses are new men, who did not get licenses last year. Owing to the fact that the Minnesota shore of the Mississippi is mainly composed of bluffs, while the Wisconsin shore is largely low and marshy ground, the duck hunting is all on the Wisconsin side, and the Minnesota hunters have to come across the river into Wisconsin to get the ducks. More non-resident licenses have been issued this year than ever before, the total number to date being 174, for small game, as compared with 131 at the same date last year and 86 in 1901. Seventeen licenses which carry the right to shoot deer as well as small game have been issued to non-residents, as compared with 18 at the same time last year. Hoosiers appear to have a fondness for Wisconsin deer, as the greater part of the non-resident deer licenses go to Indiana men. One new sportsman in the state this year will be J. E. Low of Green Cove Springs, Fla. Mr. Low is 65 years old, has already secured his license, and will hunt in Marinette county. Deputy Warden Nelson now believes that the number of resident licenses will be fully equal to that of last year. A new feature is the "settlers' license," to people who have become residents of the state within a year, of which 69 have been issued. HIS CRIME FORGOTTEN. Joe Phillips, Formerly a Resident of Chippewa Falls, Dies in Seattle Chippewa Falls, Wis., Sept. 17.—[Special.]—Joe Phillips, who for many years was a resident of Chippewa Falls, died in St. John's hospital at Seattle, Wash., on Wednesday from cancer. His right name was Philip Josie, but upon arriving in this city twenty-eight years ago changed his name to that of Joe Phillips. For that number of years he has evaded the Canadian officers, but in the meantime he married and was the father of two children. Josie was arrested with another man at Ontario on the charge of having murdered a young girl, and was sentenced to life imprisonment. One night, in company with other prisoners, Josie escaped. The officers went in pursuit and followed the prisoners for two weeks. The boat in which they were attempting to cross the Ontario river capsized and by some means Josie managed to leave his companions with the belief that he was drowned, and the search for him was abandoned. He then came to Chippewa Falls. Only a few of his most intimate friends knew of his career and it was never discussed. When he became sick from the cancer and was preparing to die he made a full confession of the past. The girl's name whom he killed was Miss Annie Adams, his sweetheart. Josie became quite popular here with owners of summer lodges on Long lake, having for many years been employed by the late Col. George C. Ginty at the "Saint's Rest." MRS. GRINNELL IS DEAD.

Lathrop, one of the pioneer residents of Racine and one of the first members of the Racine board of trade, became insane at his home today on Lake avenue. Business worries and constant attendance on his wife, who has been a cripple for years, is supposed to be the cause. At noon he was removed to a hospital and his condition is very critical. Mr. Lathrop has been a resident of Racine since 1850, and for many years was financial agent in this city of the Bank of Glasgow, Scotland. For twenty years Mr. Lathrop was engaged in the grain business in this city, owning two warehouses and a fleet of vessels running between Racine and Buffalo, engaged in grain trade.

Menasha, Wis., Sept. 17.—[Special.]— "The Menasha postoffice will never be a sub-station to Neenah and Menasha will soon have free delivery." Such were the words used by Congressman Davidson to a party of Menasha business men. Mr. Davidson came to this city to look over the postoffice and to see about larger quarters. The story started from Neenah last week, that Menasha, if she should get the free delivery service, would be made a sub-station of the Neenah office. Congressman Davidson stated that he could see no reason why Menasha was not ready for free delivery, and that she would certainly have it in the near future. HAM POISONS SEVEN. Meat.

Fine, Displays of Products and Industries of a Great State. HELD AT MILWAUKEE. Secretary True Says the Receipts Will More Than Overbalance Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 12, 1903.—The Wisconsin state fair has been held here this week and for the most part was successfully conducted. Copious rains on Wednesday drenched the grounds and ruined the attendance for that day and made the race track heavy for the succeeding days, but the weather on Thursday was as fine as could be desired and there were large crowds in attendance. The features which had been liberally advertised were the automobile races and they had to be declared off until Friday on account of the rain and mud. The exhibits in the several departments were better than usual and the display of fine stock in the barns was exceptionally good. In the machinery hall and the art hall and woman's building the exhibits from all parts of the state and from many other states surpassed those of former years. The grounds have been improved and buildings repaired and presented an attractive appearance when the weather was good. A new cement walk from the main gate to the grandstand was the chief improvement and was greatly appreciated, although why it was not extended the full length of the grounds to the barns and main buildings could not be understood by the multitudes who were forced to flounder through the mud. True Expects a Surplus. The financial success of the fair is assured, according to Secretary True. "I believe," he said, "that the receipts of Friday and Saturday will be a surplus in our treasury. Thursday was a very good day, there being 19.201 paid admissions." The receipts for the week have been as follows: Tuesday, $1695.25; Wednesday, $4811.25; Thursday, $8836. The paid admissions were as follows: Monday, 2991; Wednesday, 9880; Thursday, 19,-201. Able to Pay All Bills. Secretary True made the statement on Friday that the state fair management would have a surplus at the end of the fair. The receipts for Friday and Saturday will be "velvet," as there is already money enough on hand to pay all the expenses of the show. The estimated expenses of the fair are $30,000. The receipts up to Friday morning were $20,-342.75. There was in the treasury when the fair opened a surplus from last year of $6000 and the state appropriation as a percentage on the premiums paid for exhibits is about $6500, thus giving the association now over $32,000 with which to meet the expenses. The receipts have been as follows: Entrance fees and stall rent..... $2,000.00 Privileges ..... 3,500.00 Gate and grandstand receipts Tuesday 1,695.25 Gate and grand stand receipts Wednesday 4,811.25 Gate and grand stand receipts Thursday 8,336.25 Total $20,342.75 "I look for a surplus in the treasury of between $12,000 and $15,000," said Sec- retary True Saturday. "The receipts for Friday were $7179, making the total receipts excluding those of today about $27,500. There was a surplus at the be- ginning of the year of $6500, and the ap- propriation from the state will be a like amount, so that we will have a nice little nest egg to commence next year's negoti- tions. A Slight Falling Off. The total arrivals on the Milwaukee road during Thursday were 1525 holders of excursion tickets, compared with 1663 on the same day last year. The North-Western brought in 1000 during the day, and several hundred on Friday. The total excursion arrivals during the week on the Milwaukee road up to last Thursday were 10,200, compared with 13,324 during fair week a year ago. The North-Western brought in for the week about 14,000 people, compared with 16,000 during the week a year ago. The Midway Is Profitable. The receipts from privileges this year are already in excess of any year in the history of the fair. In 1902 they were $2200. This year they are $3000 already, which figures does not include the percentages from the shows which have made that sort of an agreement with the management. Good Dairy Exhibit. The dairy building, which was dedicated this year, was filled with exhibits of the state dairy school and companies making dairy appliances and machinery. The state school displayed a cow and a milkmaid fashioned out of butter. These and many samples of the butter and cheese were kept cool in a glass-covered refrigerator. Two new dining halls were put into commission this year, making the total number easily capable of feeding the multitude which visited the grounds. They were managed largely by the women of the churches in the neighborhood or in from this city. The Cattle Exhibit Interest among the stock men and those interested in the cattle exhibit centered in particular in the splendid herds of Guernseys, Holsteins, brown Swiss, Herefords, Galloways, Jerseys and polled and short-horned cattle. Some of these herds have been and will be exhibited in the circuit of states surrounding Wisconsin. It was both the largest and most complete exhibit that the fair has had in some years. A string of brilliant blue, red, yellow, green and white ribbons ran along nearly every shed and the collections that here and there floated over a particular stall made it easy to determine the prize winners, while banners posted over each herd made it easy for those not well versed in cattle lore to distinguish the different breeds. Big pigs, medium pigs and little bits of pigs, together with Angora goats, were attractions for the children in the sheep and swine sheds, but there were few to see them. There were several broods of pigs two days old that were fully as much of an attraction to the big folks as they were to the little ones. Down at the end of the stock row, nearest the track on the north side, were the barns filled with blooded horses. In addition to the heavy Percherons and draft horses is an excellent exhibit of speed horses, the largest the fair has had. Miss Stone, Killed by Explosion in Chicago. Came From Wisconsin. Apppleton, Wis., Sept. 15.—Miss Grace.

It has been tried twice before, once by Judge Vinge and once by Judge Helms. As Judge O'Neil was at one time interested in the case as counsel it was not tried before him. The case is concerning five notes aggregating about $1700. One contention is that Mr. Ring, being president of the bank, ought not charge for legal services for the bank.

She Must Answer Charge of Compounding a Felony. PREFERS TO STAY IN JAIL. Rather Than Furnish $250 Bond, She Remains in Lockup—Denies Settlement Story. Juneau, Wis., Sept. 15.—[Special.]—Miss Ida Ullman of Alexandria, Minn., but late of the town of Lebanon, this county, is lodged here in the county jail, awaiting trial on a charge of compounding a felony. The case is an accessory to the Ullman cases, in which her father, Albert Ullman of Lebanon, is defendant, held under $10,000 bonds to answer to the charge of assault with intent to kill and in this the defendant in the first named case, Miss Ullman, is the complaining witness. In August, 1902, Miss Ida Ullman was found in an unconscious condition on a lonely road near Neosha, suffering from a bullet wound, which was reported by her to have been fired from ambush. Later developments implicated her father and a warrant was issued for his arrest. The case is still pending. Miss Ullman instituted proceedings to recover $10,000 damages. About a month ago Miss Ullman left for Alexandria, Minn., and rumors were current that she had entered into a compromise with her parent, whereby she was to receive $2500, on condition that she left the state. District Attorney Husting has been working on the case, and after collecting sufficient evidence to warrant grounds for the charge, a complaint was issued. Sheriff Roeseler left last week and arrested Miss Ullman at Alexandria, Douglas county, Minn., where she was staying with her brother. The sheriff arrived here with his charge and she appeared before Justice Clifford. The case was continued to September 25. Bail was fixed at $250, but the prisoner expressed her preference to remain in jail until the trial comes off. Miss Ullman denies that she received any money for leaving the state.

Marinette, Wis., Sept. 15.—[Special.]—In a sermon preached last Sunday at the Presbyterian church, Rev. T. S. Anderson is said to have expressed some radical views on the tendency of athletics in schools and colleges. He is reported to have said that strength is not a quality to be sought after by man, and that it is at best an attribute of beasts. "The mind is the man," Rev. Anderson is quoted to have said, "and to spend time on strengthening or beautifying the body is only to lower yourself to the level of the beasts. Our college athletes are generally soft brained. It is only a half truth that a healthy mind needs a healthy body, for so many are the cases that it has almost become a rule that great minds inhabit weak, sickly bodies." Appleton, Wis., Sept. 15. [Special.] Rev. Benson, pastor of the Methodist church, in his sermon Sunday took occasion to speak, incidentally, of the value of athletic exercise in mental and moral training. Many Lawrence university students were present and were much pleased with the remarks. The minister told of his own practice of vigorous exercise daily. LATEST MARKET REPORTS.

Fruitless Quest. "Could you do something for a poor old sailor?" asked a wanderer at the rear door of a Germantown house one morning last week. "Poor old sailor?" echoed the housewife, who had opened the door. "Yes'm, I followed the water for twenty years." "Well," said the lady, as she slammed the door in the face of her unwelcome visitor, "all I've got to say is you certainly don't look as though you had ever caught it."—Philadelphia Public Ledger. —Some Chicago burglars used an acid test in order to take only real silver from a house they had broken into. the high school graduates are girls, and the percentage of women students in the colleges is inefeasing much more rapidly than that of men students. This: means a_ still larger body of women teachers, as most of these graduates adopt tuis profession. Therefore the question is likely to be one of even more importance in the future than in the past. - Teaching affords an especially fruitful field for women, as the number of positions is almost endless, and they carry at once a fixed salary without any contingencies. While all employments practically are now open to women, there are a few which offer to tife educated as good pay. as permanent a position, as much hope of promotion, and {hs Wisconsin Weekly vecdt: I) 6 Printed in tha Interests of the Negre Bace, MILWAUKEE, WIS.

Fa aE ponder es a s . —_ By Lady Isabel Margesson. Froebel has shown us in his kindergarten methods one way of training the faculties of little children. Plenty of modification and elas- ticity can be used. No books or formal work must be entertained until the child has had at least two if not three years of kindergarten train- ing, beginning by half an hour. A healthy nat- ural selfishness is the child nature, and that the child will-begin by first finding himself, and then loving himself. It is when these first two steps nave Deen taken that the ethical trainer comes in, bringing the child to a recognition of the larger self—the me spelt with a big M. . The early religious training of children is not absolutely essential, as it is largely mechanical and artificial. The formation of such religious habits causes religion to be- scomea°deadrthing to children. The life and meaning has been iaken out of words by constant parrotlike use. Jean Paul Richter has put. the matter clearly when he explains that what is wanted to be reverenced and loved must not be made famillar and automatic, applying this idea more particularly to retigious observances demanded of children. Closely linked with religious teaching should be the teaching of purity. In old-fashioned days this was not usual, and children had to satisfy as best they could their natural curiosity on the facts of physical life. The whole subject was left to the chance scraps of learning that might be picked up in any undesirable form or place. Def- inite. positive teaching of facts as matters of science and knowledge, satisfying the child's natural curiosity with simple explanations, is now seen to be the best and strong- est safeguard. The skeleton of knowledge may be slightly sketched at first. and only as much given as the child needs. As his age increnses, the outline can be filled in, and by the time he létayes his home he will be satistied that h knows what he wanted to kuow; and a bond of wonderful strength and confidence will be established be- tween himself snd his parents. Children are not sufficiently taught that they must con- tinually use their own judgment, that life is made up of choice, and that no one can ultimately choose or decide for another. Teach him to sce that every mistake may help his judgment; that the important matter lies in his vision-- his, inner, vision of right and wrong that according to his power te see wiil be his power to aet.

Before entering them for a fight their owners make the crickets undergo a regular training. When caught, they are placed in a bamboo cage and fed with rice and greenstuff. After a few days they are taught to fight by measuring their strength with a veteran. After a number of trials the cham- pions are selected for appearance in public, and the betting begins. The-combatants are placed.facing each other, and.their trainers tickle their heads with a straw until their anger ts thoroughly aroused, when they make a dash at one another. The victory is decided in the first round, the vanquished cricket, if still alive’ crawling away quite dejected, whilst the victor struts about and cele- brates his triumph. by chirruping. The illustration is from the London Graphie. in galleons, and which tempted the raiders of the Spanish main to deeds of violence in the interests of modern historical novelists, soon spread throughout Manayunk. In a short time the laborers found it. difficult to pursue their. task, being _ literally crowded out by the amateur disman- tlers. Boys of tender age and men flocked to this Eldorado. They helped tear up the floors and elbowed workmen out and sifted the debris like Nome min- ers. Nearly every one of the busy volunteers was rewarded by finding various pieces of money, and, the day being warm, the workmen were glad to have their labor done vicariously. The building is the old United States Hotel, which was erected more than seventy years ago. Only a part of it is being torn down for the purpose of making repairs.

The captain's authority over an ocean liner, and equally, of course, Lis responsibility for her,. extends... only over the time when she is crossing -the’ sea. Practically the responsibility ceases when she approaches land on either side, for the pilot assumes charge of her navigation as soon as he comes aboard. When the ship ar- rives at her pier, or as soon, to be exact, as she is within bailing dis- tance, the captain is no longer in con- trol, She is then under the authority of the marine superintendent, who is in command of the piers and tugs and harbor frout equipment of the line, and who takes charge of the docking of all vessels. > To bring a giant liner io rest at her pier is a delicate operation. The fiow of the tide, the headway imparted by her engines before they stop, the depth of the water, must all be tiken into consideration, for the quarters are nar- row, and if she were to ram the pier it would mean a bad smash-up, But with the skill of long experienee the superiztendent, by voice and hand, controls the great vessel perfectly, and with tugs helping her and cables draw- ing her she glides into her resting place as quietly and easily as, a tired _ child slips beneath the covers at night. Practically from the moment when the liner is made fast she is turned . over to the crew that never sails. Her | officers remain on duty, and their work is as arduous and almost as incessant in port as at sea. But the law re- quires that the crew of each vessel | shall be paid off and discharged at the end of every voyage. In the case | of the liner they are again signed im- | mediately, but during the period while the vessel lies in port they are not of- - ficially connected with her, and the work which. natyrally: would: fall to their lot is performed by the port crew.—-Earl Mayo in Leslie's Weekly. SILVER HOARD IN OLD HOUSE, Dismantiers Find Ancient Coins, Both American and Foreign, An old Spanish silver coin, with its date worn off by a century or. more's use, was found by workmen who were tearing down an old building in Ma- nayunk, and owing to that fact it is probable that the expense of disman- tling- the remainder of the structure will be-nominal. The news of the finding of the an- cient doubloons, the kind that used to be stowed away in great iron chests the same gocial prestige as teaching. In addition are the Saturday holidays and tbe two or ‘three months’ summer -yacation, déarer even to a svoman than to a man. Then there has been no great opposition to overcome, as this has been considered distinctively woman's sphere. Indeed, its only especial hardship has been. the. necessity of seeing men better paid than women for the same work, but this could be borne because their number was so small. | Now is coming that reaction which is evident in so ‘many directions where women are concerned. This was strongly expressed in the address of Dr. Earl Barnes in the education conference held at Chautauqua, where he de- clared the schools were being overfeminized, and urged women themselves to demand more male teachers. In a recent number of the Independent Sanford Bell, professor of pedagogy in Mount Holyoke College, goes still further and declares, as the result of his investigations, that 81 per cent of men and 50 per cent of women. testify that they “received greater “moral uplift and ‘inspiration, in- tellectual stimulus, spur to scholarship, and clutch upon the vital issues of life’ from men than from women teach- ers. The latter “had led only in personal kindness, self- reliance, and social help.” Prof. Sanford Bell employs several columns in what ans is constrained to accept as the ex-parte evidence of a | masculine teacher to prove the vast superiority of his sex in the schoolroom, and from this he concludes that “women teacher seem beste for the: period of childhood,” butvafter that men are a necessity. The magazine declares edito- ane however, that the profession has passed so gen- erally into the hands of women that it is no longer a Practical subject of discussion, Nevertheless it will con- tinue to be discussed, although no one has yet offered a reinedy. e This agitation in the ranks of teaching is but one phase of it. Meanwhile, apart from any consileration for the welfare of the schools, it will be greatly to the interest of women themselyes to prepare for some other vocation, one ‘fresher, less crowded, and less conventional. SHORTCOMINGS OF ARBITRATION. By Galusha A. Grow, Ex-Speaker ox Congress. = Voluntary arbitration of disagreements be- / tween employer and employe, well enough in it- self, only settles the existing dispute, which may occur again in the same or a different form as often as the old disagreement may have been settled. There can be no war or even conflict between capital and labor when their real inter- yy ests are rightly understood and fully appreciated. PRONE. They are mutually dependent on each other. and / neither can accomplish any great results without the other, Of what use is labor, beyond the supplying of mere*physicat wants by the cultivation of the soil, without capital to fur- nish transportation to market for the products of labor as well as for the development of all industries? And of what use would capital be without labor? In the world’s commerce the locomotive is of no use without ears filled with the products of labor, and such cars would be of no use without capital to build the railroad and buy the loco- motive, | The grievances of labor in free elective governments like ours are to be removed In the same way as other griev- ances—by an appeal to the intelligent judgment of. public opinion. In free elective governments, with free speech, free press and universal ballot, there can be no excuse for a resort-to lawless violence. No matter what the grievance complained of may be, a resort to lawless violence is an attack onthe rights of every law abiding citizen and upon organized society itself, and if successful it would be the first step in the road that leads to anarchy.and national ruin. An enlightened public opinion in a free government will in the end correct all real grievances if peaceable means only are emploved.

If, however, it is necessary to carry water for the stock, then some plan should be put in operation whereby water may be obtained for other purposes, such as wagon washing and the cleaning of harnesses, without carrying it any great distance. The rainfall may be utilized by placing a barrel which is water-tight on a box or other platform and, by the use of a simple and cheap V-trough, carrying the water to the barrel from the eaves of the barn roof. A faucet should be placed in the bar- TO SAVE RAIN WATER. rel, as shown, so that the water may be drawn off readily when wanted. Over the top of the barrel is placed a frame, covered with the finest mesh wire obtainable. This will keep out vermin and small animals, and yet permit sufficient air to circulate over the water to prevent it from becoming stagnant. The illustration shows the plan, which is an excellent one and very inexpensive. Loading Small Animals. When one raises stock of any kind and is obliged to cart them to market there should be some device for loading the animals into the wagon without the exercise of too great labor. The loading crate shown in the illustration is one of the best appliances of the kind one can have. It should be made strong, yet light so that it can be easily handled. A frame is made of two by four material and the floor made of inch lumber with cleats nailed on eight inches apart. The upper end should be well braced and the incline should not be too sharp. With a load- ```markdown ``` A LOADING DEVICE. ing rack of this kind little trouble will be had in handling sheep, swine or calves. Salt Kills Weeds. For the destruction of chickweed raking the lawns or sowing them with salt, or both methods combined, were found effective at the Vermont station. The application of two quarts of salt to the square rod, followed by thorough raking of the chickweed and a liberal sowing of grass seed, was completely successful in exterminating chickweed and in securing a full stand of grass. It is suggested that where salt is used on a lawn it should be done cautiously on a small scale, as the effects will vary in different soils and seasons. For the eradication of the crab grass the authors of a recent bulletin suggest care in selection of seed to avoid the introduction of this plant, which is an annual; the use of grass seed, fertilizer and water freely so as to keep the grass in vigorous growth; and the hand weeding of the crab grass if it should appear. American Cultivator. A Land of Small Farmers. From a recent report on agriculture in Germany, it appears that of the total agricultural area of 125,000,000 acres in Germany three-fourths are actually under the plow or in cultivation as meadows, pastures and hop gardens, and less than 1,000,000 acres are cultivated for market garden and vineyard produce. The area is divided into 5,500,000 holdings, and is principally in the hands of small peasants and farmers. These peasant holdings of from two and a half to five acres form the backbone of German agriculture. Pinching Berry Bushes. The ideal treatment for raspberries and blackberries is to pinch them back at intervals during the summer and thus secure strong, sturdy bushes three and one-half to four feet high, with laterals from one to one and one-half feet long, rather than to practice the severe heading back after the plants have become long and "leggy." If, however, as is frequently the case in the best managed gardens, the plants are at this season making vigorous growth which may not mature, they should at once be cut back to the desired height and the canes will harden before cold weather. Many prefer to cut back the bushes in the spring. Thinning the canes, which should always be practiced, may be done time during the season. In general, one-half or more of the young canes which appear should be cut out. Blackberry and raspberry bushes may be transplanted in the fall, but better results are usually obtained from spring plantings.—Maine Experiment Station. The Wonders of Modern Farming. All the great crops are now planted, and all except cotton are gathered by machinery. Let us follow a crop throughout a season's work and see the changes that have come in its treatment. The plowman no longer trudges slowly and wearily back and forth across his field. He rides a sulky plow with a spring seat. There are special plows for every need—turf plows, stubble plows, subsoil plows, plows for heavy work, plows for light work, and gang plows turning three furrows at once. So simple are many of them that a boy may drive one. Plowing by steam is not commonly practiced in the Middle West, but out on the great wheat ranches of the Pacific coast it is common. On the tule lands of California a sixty-horse-power traction engine drawing twenty-one feet of disk plows will break the ground to a depth of ten inches at the rate of forty-five to sixty acres a day. With mold-board plows designed especially for this work a strip twenty-eight feet wide can be broken. This means that a man and a pair of horses with a single mold-board plow would have to cross a field twenty-eight times to do the same work that the traction engine does by one trip of its plows. A farmer in the Central West who uses a small traction engine and a gang of four fourteen-inch plows says that it costs him from 50 to 62 cents per acre to break his ground. He considers steam economical. The land made ready for the reception of the seed, machinery still does the work that muscle used to do. The sower goes forth to sow, but not as he once did, dropping his seed into the soil, trudging backward and forward from dawn until twilight. His grass or his grain is broadcasted or drilled in with mechanical evenness, and the machine automatically registers the acreage sown. In like manner his corn is drilled in, listed or planted in hills, his potatoes are planted, and even his cabbage, his cauliflower and his tobacco plants from the seed beds are set out by machinery, and the work is done better than it could possibly be by hand—this, besides the saving of time and toil. Even in the vegetable garden seeders for all kinds of seeds are now extensively used. The machines are pushed in front of the operator, and they automatically drop and cover the seeds at the desired distances and depth, and at the same time mark off the next row.—W. B. Thornton, in World's Work. Farm Notes Corn may not be the whole thing, but it is the principal ration for fattening hogs. The man or woman who does not know how to keep up a rotation in the garden crops is not up to present day privileges. If there is anything that is better than another on a hot day it is water from a jug. One never knows when to let go. The feeling is that one would like to "freeze to it," and enjoy it forever. Don't kick the hogs for rushing around you for their meals. It is your own fault. If you would feed them as you should, you would not be in such a hurry. If you must kick, give yourself a good big jolt for not feeding better. It is a very good plan to keep all grain sacks and similar property marked or branded. It is not a matter of proving dishonesty, but a matter of convenience to have them so marked. There are times when they will accidentally get lost. The commercial fertilizer used annually in the United States amounts to between $40,000,000 and $50,000,000. Most of the States have provided for official inspection of fertilizer to protect the farmer from fraud. The heaviest applications are made in the Southern States. In some of the prairie States hardly any commercial fertilizers are sold. The finest and softest wool is always on the shoulders of sheep. An expert in judging sheep always looks at the wool on the shoulders first. Assuming that the wool to be inspected is really fine, the shoulders are first examined as a part where the finest wool is to be found, which is taken as a standard, and is compared to the wool from the ribs, the thigh, the rump and the shoulder parts, and the nearer the wool from the various portions of the animal approaches the standard the better. If a strip of light burlap is fastened around a milk cow's body loosely to keep the flies off in fly time she will give more milk, says an Indiana farmer, who adds: "I have noticed how cows stand and fight flies and eat little, but when thus protected they put in their time at eating. I milk with much more comfort since adopting this plan, which costs little." SOLDIERS' STORIES. ENTERTAINING REMINISCENCES OF THE WAR. Graphic Account of Stirring Scenes Witnessed on the Battlefield and in Camp-Veterans of the Rebellion Recite Experiences of Thrilling Nature. "Yes," said Peter Price of company H, One Hundred and Twenty-Fourth, Ohio, "I was a good jumper in the army, but I never said I jumped across a river, as the boys reported. I was one of Hazen's hellions, otherwise a member of Hazen's brigade of the Third division of the Fourth corps. At New Hope church, Georgia, May 27, 1864, Sherman sent Hazen against what he supposed was the left wing of Johnson's army in the air. Hazen struck, however, Johnson's right wing at a point where the line bent to conform to the hills along Pumpkin Vine creek. The rebel line was not in the air at all, as we soon found out, but was compact and ready for business. "However, we marched to our left, came to contact with Claiborne's division, charged and drove the rebels into their main works, where they were re-enforced by Walker's division. We could go no farther, but we held our position until the two rebel divisions charged us. The brigade in retiring left our regiment in an exposed position on the extreme left, and we were soon cut off. The boys fought like furies, and, checking the rebel advance, made a dash for the rear, the enemy following close. I was late in starting and the rebel skirmishers were abreast of me when I reached Pumpkin Vine creek. "As we came to the creek at a full run it seemed to some of the boys about sixty feet wide. To me it did not appear more than six feet wide, and I made the jump of my life, clearing the stream. Those who didn't jump were captured, but I went across with a good deal of company. Before this, in going down the hill I brought up against a log and fell, head first, over it. A rebel right at my heels struck at me with his musket and orderd me to surrender. But I kept up my rolling, tumbling performance until I regained my feet, jumped the creek and getting behind a tree, gave my pursuer as good as he sent. "I never think of that scramble and jump but I am reminded of Sheridan's remarks about Rosser's rebel cavalry in the Shenandoah valley, in 1864. When they came down the valley after Sheridan, Rosser's men wore wreaths of laurel and ivy around their hats. After they found Sheridan and went scurrying up the valley, the farmers suggested that they wear pumpkin vines around their hats, because they were good runners. At Pumpkin Vine creek I was a good runner and a good jumper, and so I live to tell the tale of that hot fight." "I made a pretty fair jump myself," said Comrade Murray. "That was at the second battle of Bull Run, and I was then in the Third Michigan. At first we were held in reserve, but later were in the very thickest of the fight and under the heaviest fire I ever experienced in the army. We stood it for a time and then the regiment melted away and I cut away on my own hook. Near us was the embankment of a railway from which the rails had been taken, and I made a dash for that in the belief that if I could get over I would find shelter from the murderous fire still raking the field. As I came to the embankment the problem of how to get over beset me, but just then a shell burst right behind me and propelled by the resulting commotion in the air I went over that embankment like a bird. "But there was no depression on the other side, and I was as much exposed as ever. Then I made my way to the woods near, and there I found Captain Walters of our regiment, a man named Fish, and several others, and we put up a good sort of a fight. Pretty soon General Phil Kearney came riding down to that neck of woods to see what was the matter with his line. He rode right into our squad, and, reining back his horse, asked to what regiment we belonged. Walters told him and explained how we got there, and said he didn't know whether any others of the regiment got away or not. Kearney burst out with: 'You cowardly sons of guns, I never saw a Michigan man run before,' and rode away. "As he left us, indignant over his rough speech, a shell struck Fish and he went down, terribly mangled. Walters and I carried him to an ambulance and I was detailed to go with him to the hospital, where Dr. D. W. Bliss, who afterward became famous, tried to save Fish by amputating a leg. He failed, but he held on to me, and all that night I served as the assistant of Dr. Bliss in a good many amputations. Kearney's rough words ringing in my ears. I remembered, however, Kearney in another incident, and I forgave him. At Harrison's Landing our company was on picket when Kearney rode down upon us. It was a warm day, and the boys were lying about in some disarray when we saw the general coming. "We hustled into blouses and got into line by the time the general was ready for his salute. We expected a scoring, but Kearney, looking about, spied a man under guard, and asked why he was under guard at such a time. I replied that he was under arrest by orders of the Lieutenant commanding the post for fighting in quarters. 'Fighting hell,' said the general. 'Isn't that what he enlisted for.' We want fighting men in front. Release him and send him to his quarters, or put him on duty.' Then he rode away. A few days after Bull Run. Kearney rode into the rebel lines at Chantilly and was shot.—Chicago Inter-Ocean. Responsibility for Pickett's Charge. "General Gordon," said the doctor, "has written of Gettysburg in a generous, fair-minded spirit, but has given new life to old controversies. No man can write of Lee at Gettysburg without seeming to take sides for or against Longstreet, and to side with Longstreet on disputed points is to be against Lee. All Confederates who have written of Pickett's charge admit that, made as it was, late in the day, it was a mistake. Longstreet's friends insist that the responsibility for the mistake rests wholly with Lee, while Lee's champions contend that the mistake was Longstreet's, in that he did not make the charge early in the day, as planned by Lee, when it would have been part of a general movement, instead of an independent assault. "I lived in Virginia for twenty-two years after the close of the war, and had as neighbors a good many men who were in the divisions of Pickett and Pettigrew at Gettysburg. They were in the habit of meeting for what they called graveyard talks—that is, for confidential conversations about the fighting at Gettysburg and of other battles and about the mistakes of the commanders under whom they served. Naturally the most of the Virginians were champions of Lee, but some of them stood by Longstreet in his contention that Pickett's charge should never have been made, and that Lee himself came to regard it as a blunder. "As these graveyard talks were to be held sacred during the lifetime of the talkers, there was astonishing freedom in expressing opinions. As all the men, with one exception, are now dead, it seems not inappropriate to refer to the spirit of their conversations. Some of them insisted that Longstreet had a motive in carrying out Lee's order as to Pickett's charge. He knew it would fail, and he wanted to fix the responsibility of failure on Lee. One man told the story of how Longstreet hesitated at the last moment to order the men forward. Pickett rode to Longstreet and asked for instructions. Longstreet said not a word. Then Pickett asked: 'Has the time come to move forward?' And Longstreet, without speaking, bowed his head. Thereupon Pickett turned his horse, saluted, and, saying: 'I shall lead the division forward,' rode away. "Another man who held an important command at Gettysburg said he was a witness to a scene not in keeping with the above. Pickett was lying down in a fence corner in the famous peach orchard when General Armistead, commanding one of his brigades, rode up, saluted and said: 'General, my brigade is formed ready for an advance. What are your orders?' Pickett raised his head, and resting on his right elbow, looked up into Armistead's face in a dazed way, but said nothing. Armistead waited a moment, and then, turning impatiently, said: 'I lead my men in the charge.' "This officer left open the inference that Pickett, no more than Longstreet, approved the order to charge, and that, like Longstreet, he hesitated to speak the words that would send so many of his men to certain death. At all events, Armistead led the charge and rode squarely against the Union breastworks before he was killed. Pickett, according to his men, made no comment on the charge. Longstreet made no secret of his distress, and Lee said to Longstreet and to the men who were driven back that the fault was his. The Virginians claimed all the honors of the desperate, magnificent charge, while the Alabamaans and Tennesseeans insisted that they played as conspicuous a part in the charge as the Virginians. All the graveyard talkers inclined to the opinion that after the order for the charge had been issued no one cared to ask its suspension."—Chicago Inter Ocean. Kentucky Soldiers. "I remember how shocked some of the boys from Ohio were on one of our first scouting expeditions," says a veteran. "We were prowling along a ravine when the scouts or skirmishers reported armed men on the other side of the stream. There was some confusion, but before instructions could be given out our men fired at a man who had shown himself well up the hill and whose body a minute later came tumbling down toward us. Our scout had recognized a man who, as the leader of a guerrilla band, had burned the house of his father and driver the family from the neighborhood, and had shot him through the head. There upon the guerrillas scattered and our own men discussed the shooting with many expressions of disapproval. "That night several Kentuckians disappeared from camp, and we learned later that they had joined some men of another regiment, pursued the rebel guerrillas and had killed three more of them. One day our company came suddenly on a superior force of the enemy and the order was to retreat Some of the men took to the woods, however, and rallying some of their old neighbors serving in other companies ambushed the rebels and drove them back. As they put it, they were in the service to fight the rebels, and if they couldn't do it one way they would another. Many men of this character were in Wolford's First Kentucky Cavalry, and were notorious for their disposition to scatter over the country on a march."

As is not uncommon, the English managers had failed to send over the nec- essary data. Mr, Hawkes, Charles Froh- man’s representative in New York, re- membered, however, that, he had a souve- nir postal card of the play, showing the set for the first act. From this card the entire preliminary — preparations — were made, and the stage was ready for re- hearsals when the company*arrived. One of the meanest as well as the most widespread swindles that ever fastened itself upon x great city has finally been stamped out in New York. This is the so-called “game” of policy. The fact is mentioned here because many of the old policy grafters have lately been moving westward with the idea of establishing the game in other cities and reajing a harvest before the police become active. This money was thrown away when it wis needed most. The volicy shops be- fore the advent of the Anti-Policy society were innumerable and generally mas qaeraded under the respectable titie of candy or grocery store and tobaces or barber shop—the candy store for the children, the grocery store for the women and the tobacco shops and barber sheps for the men. These places were fester spots in the city, more vitiating in their effect thau either saloon or pooiroom. Shops continue to encroach on the resi- dential district of upper Fifth avenue. In the block between Thirty-first | and Thirty-second streets not a single private dwelling is left, and the movement pro- gresses steadily northward. At the pres- ent rate it will not be long before the Vanderbilts, the Goulds, the Whitneys, the Oelrichs, and others who own fine mansions in the ten blocks this side of Central park, will find themselves hemmed in on all sides by shops. Of course, they will be very fine ‘ones. but they can hardly be considered desirable neighbors. Russell Sage withstood the siege for three years, but finally he nioved when a candy shop squatted down next «wer to him on the north. It seems that the candy maker had a. huge fan operating in the rear wall of his place, and the odors were fairly hurled into Mr. Sage’s kitchen, whence they made their way all throigh the house. This might have converted an ordinary dwelling into a heaven if there were a great number of children about, but Mr. Saxe and his wife are no longer young and they have no children. The house is closed up now and waiting a tenant. In view of the close proximity of the candy shop and the sweet odors from the fan it-ought to make a geod lecation for a kindergarten, Peter Cooper Hewitt, the son of Abram 8. Hewitt, is an inventor, and he spends eight or ten hours a day_in_ his workshop away up in the Madison. Square tower. Visitors to Coney Island this summer may have noticed a remark- able light which looks like a long tube of iHuminated quicksilver. In it is the North Pole exhibit. This light was in- yented by Mr. Hewitt while Mr, Lehr and Elisha Dwyer were leading cotillons. Disposition of an estate inyolving a large fortune depends on the date of death of Arthur Beckwith, an artist who belonged to a prominent family of. this city. He disappeared trom the Sanford Hall asylum at Flushing, L. 1., in 1804 and never has been heard of since. Ow- ing to complications between the heirs’ and the state on the question of the amount of the transfer tax, counsel has instituted proceedings in the surrogate’s court to have the date of death settled. The controversy also involves the estate of Leonard Forbes Beckwith, his brother. at one time chief engineer of the subway commission. Both men were declared to be incompetent and left large property interests. Each inherited estates of about half a million dollars trom their father. Leonard died intestate in 1895. Accord- ing to the petition of the administrators of the estate of Arthur Beekwith, he, in 1890, escaped from an asylum at Litch- field, Conn., and was two years later dis- covered in’ Havana, Cuba, living in squalor. He was in 1893 placed in the Senford Hall asylum at Flushing pend- ing proceedings begun in January, 1894, to have him adjudged incompetent. He again escaped. In January, 1902, he was declared legally dead. It is now sought to have his death placed before that of Leonard, in which ease the latter's heirs will get most of both fortunes. Newport society is stirred up by what is regarded as a fine piece of irony on the part of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, in offering her $2,000,000 marble palace, which was given her by her first: hus- band, William K. Vanderbilt, Sr.. to the latter's present’ wife, formerly Mrs. Lewis M. Rutherford. Mrs. Belmont. who has no love for the new Mrs. Van- derbilt, says she never expects to use the house. It is not thought Mrs. Vander- but will accept the gift. The Proadway shopping trade these days is considerably enlivened by the heayy infusion of “pewees” and “broil- ers,” by which names the new type of chorus gir) is known, The “broiler” is the antithesis of the Junoesque showgirl of last year. She is of the Anna Held type, weighing not more than 110 pounds and being particularly dainty around the ankles. Besides the four musical come- dies now running there are a dozen more in rehearsal. Fully a thousand girls are engaged in these pieces, and all of them tind their way into Broadway in the early afternoon hours.

Harry Lehr was the only one who was angered by sight of the photographer. He tried in vain to arouse the anger of other members of the party. The only satisfaction he received was a laughing remark from one, ‘That won't hurt you, Harry; really I would like a picture of yon myself.” The cameras did their work unmolested. In addition to shooting the chutes and riding on the roller toboggan, which the members of the party enjoyed until the thunder storm caused them to scamper for shelter, Mr. Lehr mounted a long-necked giraffe in the menagerie, Standing on the sloping back of the animal and supported by the iron post, he executed a variety of dance steps to the music of the merry-go-round, which greatly amused the party. Senator William A, Clark of Montaua arrived from Europe on the steamer Deutschland, Clyde Fitch, William Gillette and some other leading playwrights here and abroad have agreed to write for Charles Frohman and George Edwardes bur- lesques on their own plays. The result will certainly be interesting, even if it should prove to be a bit rough on the playwrights to have to “skit” themselves. ‘Charles Frohman and George Edwardes will take over Daly’s theater next sea- son for an English musical stock com- pany and give as musical comedies the “Authors’ Own” burlesques of their suc- cessful pluys. It is nothing unusual for an Atlantic liner to go to sea with anywhere trom $5000 to $10,000 worth of cut flowers cu board as parting gifts. It all depends on the prominence or popularity of the pas- sengers. Like evefy other New York luxury this one increases in proportion every year. The chief steward on one of the big White Star boats told how such an enormous quantity of flowers ix disposed of after the vessel gets past Sandy Hook. They must be removed from the saloon, of course, before the first meal. An especially elaborate piece is taken to the music reom for exhibi- tion, but the majority of the thowers are sent to the cabins of the persons for whom they were intended. It oceasional- ly happens that a lover who has some bunch of flowers of sentimental signiii- cance that he does not want the throng of passengers to see has it sent to his lady love's cabin, so that she will see it after the last good-byes have been said. Bat such cases are exceptional. Most of the flowers are taken to the saloon.

Dr. H. Mantiegk — has recently published in the ‘*Proceec Lincoln Aspired to Save Republic and | ings of the Royal Scientitic Society o Free Slaves, \ Bohemia” some remarkable observation Cardinal Wolsey, in his fallen estate, taught by bitter experience, says to his follower: Cromwell, I charge thee, fling away ambt- tion, By that sin fell the angels; how eau man, then, ‘The image of his Maker, hope to win by it’ There are two kinds of ambition, a higher and a tower. The higher is really aspiration, They differ as does day from night. Ambition labors for self alone; aspira- tion works for the good of all. Ambition mikes a fortune for self-gratification, or selfish enjoyment; if aspiration makes a fortune it is to use for the world. Ambi- tion seeks notoriety, or reputation; aspira- tion, character and nobility. Ambition is x mental quality; aspiration, a spiritual quality. Ambition urges 2 man to use his power to outdo his neighbor: aspira- tion aims to help a neighbor along. A man who is guided by a low ambi- tion is cold, unsympathetic, and grasp- ing. One who is led by aspiration is max- nanimous, helpful and sympathetic. Am- bition tends to deteriorate health and morals: aspiration, to improve them, for high ideals elevate everything above one. ‘They express themselves in the body as surely as the thought of the artist ex- presses itself on canvas. _Ambition de- sires to have more; aspiration, to be more, Arnbition often lures us, even to our own destruction. Aspiration is the ladder by which we climb to true great- ness, Lincoln aspired to save our republic and to free its slaves, and his aspiration was fulfilled. He had no thought for self or fame, but his name is written for- ever on the pages of history. Benedict ‘Arnold was ambitious, and his ambition Jod him to betray his country.

Some workmen recently engaged in raising an enormeus slab of stone in an old house in Audierne. (Finistere), France, came upon over 2000 ancient coins, weighing about 120 pounds. A few of the coins are of the time of Louis STM. The most ancient piece bears the “date 1643, and the most recent 1709, In the latter year, in consequence of the terrible famine which was raging, a royal order was issued that the rich were to surren- der their silver and forward it to. the mint to be melted down. The King him- self set the example, but .certain provin- cial noblemen hid their fortunes, and the coins Which have just been found (nearly two hundred years later) are believed to have formed part of the hidden treasure. ———— Horse and Zebra Crossed.

Man's curiosity is naturally boundless concerning iis brain, which is believed to be the seat and the token ef that mental power which makes him the undisputed king of the earth. If the brain were really such a box of drawers as some phrenolo- gists have assumed, with everything in its place and all possible faculties accounted for, human heads could be classified as readily as plants, and nobody could fail tu distinguish between them any more than one can fail to select roses from lilies. One might predict absolutely from a glance at his head that a given young man must become a great financier or a poet ov 2 philosopher with no more dan- ger of a mistake than in asserting that une tree will produce acorns and another apples, But the shrewder sort of phren- ologists see that this will not do, and so they endeavor to modify the bases of their science to suit the inflnitely varied facts of Luman nature and development.

Dr. H. Mantiegka has recently published in the “Proceed- ings of the Royal Scientitic Society of Bohemia” some remarkable observations on the relations of the weight of the brain and the size and the shape of the skull to the mental powers of nan. These investigations show the import ance of good feeding to vrai develop ment. The brain cannot do its work with out an abundance of pure well-nourished blood. Other things being equal, a heave ier brain implies greater mental power, and Dr, Mantiegka finds that persons eme ployed in. industries where ite nourispe ment of the body is apt to be insufliciem and the museulay exercise slight, show, as a rule, higher brains than do moré favorably cirenmstanced persons. Blacksmiths and metal workers ir geveral have heavier brains than coach men: but the latter exceed carpentert in brain weight, and carpenters exceed persous employed in clothing industries, while at the bottom of his scale stand those who are engaged in the manufac- ture and sale of alcoholic drinks, who are apt to do more or less drinking them- selves. It would also appear that the weight of the brain may be increased by the di- rest exercise of its own funetion, men of mental training showing, as a rule, greater brain’ weight than others, — It should be remembered that the size of the head cannot be taken as a trustworthy index of the weight of the brain. The organic quality is the main thing.—Lon- Dea ee meg Etiquette on the winks. Not only ‘un the actual playing of golf, but in the etiquette of the game. the American players, or some of them, might well learn something from the visiting Englishmen. An observer of all the games, and a participant in the prac- tice rounds, states that there was a marked difference between the Americans and the Englishmen in their bearing to- ward their caddies. The Americans, es- pecially the college boys. were impatient if the caddie did not at once find the ball after the drive: The Englishmen did not worry at all, They almost in- variably said “Thank you,” when the caddie did a serviee for which he was being paid. They consulted with the caddie and usually accepted his jnag- ment as of value, even if it was some- times in error, And they did not run. One of the caddies was sent up the hill at Myopia to indicate the direction of the hole. He started to run up the hill with his heavy bag of clubs, after a_ sharp command from one of the college boys. “Don’t ran, my lad,” called out the Englishman for whom he was doing the service, “we've got all the time that there is.’"—RBoston Evening Trapscrint. | The Way of the Good Woman, | If women would only bear in mind that they may need the world’s gool word themselves some day they would be more careful in whit they say and how they say it.

A Dervish Discovered Uses of the Plant and Berry Centuries Ago. As to the history of coffee, the legead runs that it was first found growing wild in Arabia. Hadji Omar, a dervish, dis- covered it in 1285, 617 years ago. He was dying of hunger in the wilderness, when, finding some small round berries. he tried to eat them, but they were bit- ter, He tried roasting them, and these he finally steeped in some water held in the hollow of his hand, and found the decoction as refreshing as if he had par- taken of solid food. He hurried back to Mocha, from which he had been ban- | ished, and, inviting the wise men to par- take of his discovers, they were so well pleased with it that they made him a saint. _, The story is told that coffee was intre- duced into the West Indies in 1723 by Chirac, a French physician, who gave 4 Norman gentleman by the name of De Clieux, a captain of infantry, on his way to Martinique, a single plant. The sea voyage was a stormy onc, the vessel was driven out of her course, and dripking water became so scarce that it was dis- tributed in rations. De Clieux, with an affection for his coffee plant, divided his portion of water with it, and succeeded in b ‘nviug it to Martinique, although we: ., not in a hopeless condition, There he planted it in his garden. protected it with a fence of thorns, and watched it daily until the end of the year, when he gathered two pounds of coffee, whieh he distributed among the inhabitants ef Us island to be planted by them. Krom Martinique coffee trees in turn were sept to San Domingo, Guadaloupe and other neighboring islands. The coffee tree is an evergreen shrub, growing in its natural state to a height of 14 to 18 feet. [t is usually kept trimmed, however, for convenience in picking the berries, which grow along the branches close to the leaves and re- semble in shape and color ordinary cher- ries. The tree cannot be grown above the frost linc, neither can it be success- fully grown in the tropics. The most successful climate for production is that found at an altitude of about 4000 feet. Anything much above this is in danger ot frost, which is fatal to the tree, and when coffee is grown much below this it requires artificial shade, which material- ly increases the cost of production and does not produce as marketable berries. It is owing to this particular requirement that coffee has never been successfully produced in the United States.—Success. oe - HUMOROUS ITEMS. 3 Fe Bey pe ne a ct ee” Pe ee ee ‘happiness,’ says Brother Dickey, “en | wren happiness slips in by, de back gate dey's nobody ter open de do’ en let him in!’—Atlanta Constitution.

A Glenquoich (Perthshire) man, when fishing recently, noticed a dead eel lying at the bottom of the lock a few paces from the bank. Being struck with its appearance, he hauled it ashore and found that instead of one he had two. The head of the one was about four inches down the throat of the other. The larger, which was about two feet in length, had tried to swallow the smaller one, which measured eighteen inches. The result was that it could neither swallow nor disgorge its intended victim, and that both succumbed. And here is a still more remarkable tale. A Caldwell angler had a remarkable catch the other day, catching an eel three feet in length, which was swallowed by one six feet long, the two being gobbled shortly after by a monster twelve feet long. Surely this is a record in eel catching.—Glasgow Herald. —The Kongo state sells abroad annually over $13,000,000 worth and buys less than $5,000,000 worth. W. L.

What's the matter with this October?" —Philadelphia Press. "How do you like this weather?" "Not much. I'm 'feared it's goin' to rain." "Well, how's times with you?" Sorter so-so—but they won't last." "Folks all well?" "Yes; but the measles is in the neighborhood." "Well, you orter be thankful you're a livin'." "Yes; but we've all got to die."—Atlanta Constitution. When Chamberlain Was Silent. Some fanciful stories are being circulated about Joseph Chamberlain and his oratorical powers as a youth, but from what a friend of his says concerning the great statesman's college days it is a mistake to say that young Chamberlain could speak well when at school. In fact, he could never be induced to speak, and in this he somewhat resembled the retiring Arthur Balfour. One day one of the masters of the school which he was at asked Chamberlain to make the reply to a speech which had just been delivered by one of the elder students of the debating class. The hour came, and with a firm step Chamberlain mounted the platform. With perfect outward self-possession he faced the audience and made his bow—a low bow. Everyone waited expectantly. People became anxious when the young man again bowed but said nothing. Then a titter went round among the boys. Suddenly the coming colonial secretary, with a look of utter despair, sided off the platform with another bow, not having said one word!—London Answers. . The Rarest.

A peculiar specimen of the dragon fly family has appeared on a dead tree in the yard of the residence at 24 Grove street. Nicollet island. It was discovered by a tree trimmer working in the yard, who said that it had been there for two days. The fly's body is about an inch and a quarter long, has six legs varying from three-quarters of an inch to an inch in length, a head similar to that of a wasp's, and a single pair of wings, steel blue in color and spotted with brown. The most remarkable features, however, are the two long, wirelike hairs which trail behind the insect when it walks. These are about four inches long and resemble large stingers. When the bug was watched yesterday it crawled about the tree apparently feeling for a suitable place in the bark through which to drill. After a few moments it stopped and, doubling up its body, brought the two long, wirelike hairs of its tail over its back and passed them, one on either side of its body, between the forward and middle pair of legs and forced them into the bark with their points together. In this position the bug resembled a contortionist lying flat on his stomach, bringing his legs back over his shoulders and touching the floor with his feet on either side of his head. Having accomplished this feat the two tail prongs were slowly forced into the tree, working alternately, until only two inches remained in view. The insect remained in this position for about half an hour, after which it withdrew the prongs, leaving a hole about as large in circumference as a hatpin.—Minneapolis Times. A Boy's Victory. Crossroads, Tenn., Sept. 14.—Orbra Young, the 10-year-old son of Lester Young, of this place, is a bright boy, and one who is very well liked by all who know him. For some years Orbra has suffered a great deal with a form of Kidney Trouble which was very annoying, and which made him miserable all the time. He had to get up three or four times every night, almost all his life. His father heard of a remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and bought some for the little fellow, with the result that he is now completely cured of the old trouble. He says: "Dodd's Kidney Pills soon gave me great relief, and now I can sleep all night without having to get up. We will always praise Dodd's Kidney Pills." There are many children suffering from Kidney and Urinary troubles. These disorders should be promptly corrected. Dodd's Kidney Pills is a safe and sure remedy for all such derangements. Master Orbra Young conquered his troubles and made a well boy of himself, by using Dodd's Kidney Pills, and any one may do the same by the same means. Parents should see to it that their children are given a fair chance in life, and there is nothing that can undermine the health of a growing child as much as Kidney and Urinary derangements. Menace of the Forest The climatic history of the old world will repeat itself in America. If forest destruction, at its present rate of recklessness, should continue much longer, our continent will have to dry up. So will an orator who should venture to urge that fact upon a boodle Legislature, in this era of lumber trusts. But the fact remains, and its significance may be inferred from the experience of the Mediterranean coast lands, where thousands of god-gardens have been turned into Gehennas of wretchedness and desolation. By tree destruction alone a territory of 4,500,000 square miles has been withdrawn from the habitable area of our planet. The physical history of the eastern hemisphere is the history of a desert that originated somewhere near the cradle of the Caucasian race—in Bactria, perhaps, and, spreading westward and southward, has blighted the Edens of three continents like a devouring fire and is now scorching the west coast of Africa, and sending its warning sand clouds far out to seaward.—National Magazine. Knew Their Tricks. A certain corn chandler of London had just engaged an assistant who hailed from a little village near Leeds. This youth was remarkably "green," and apparently it had been impressed upon him by his friends in the village that the sharp London people would try to take a rise out of him. A customer entered the shop and when the youth appeared said: "I want some birdseed, please." "It's noa use, lad, tha kno's," answered the verdant one, knowingly, "tha cannot hev me.

MILWAUKEE, WIS --- THE PO By Rev. W. Everett Johnson. Hallowed be thy name.—Matt., vi., 9. The Lord's prayer is a volume of doctrine and ethics, basic and far-reaching. This first petition is the corner-stone of the whole structure and sets forth the same radical concept that St. Paul does in his treatise on charity. It creates the viewpoint of the religion of Jesus Christ. To make something holy is to develop the highest attitude of our nature, the result of the union of the mind and the heart. There is a holiness that belongs to certain things aside from what we ordinarily call religion. The thing that has become holy to you may have little or no other value. An old book that your mother often read, that would not bring 5 cents in the market, is treasured as a holy thing by you, and perhaps by you alone; the old homestead is a holy place; a little half worn shoe is a holy thing to a saddened mother's heart. All because these things have been linked with the affections. The giant locomotive has become a holy thing to the man that sits in the cab, the realization of the dream of years, the shrine of worshiping labor; there is no need to bid him to give it his best energies; they belong to it. A drop of stagnant water is a holy thing to the man of science who has devoted his mind to a study of its revelations, and through his microscope he enters it with such reverence as a worshiper does a temple. No need to bid him to prayer, for such it is; he kneels day after day waiting for the revelation of God. The devoted son, the loving mother, the mechanic who gives honor to his work, and the student whose every thought is a prayer, are examples of the best things in this life of ours and the nearest to our loving Father, creating and working in his infinite wisdom, but as with all the noblest things in life they are the most dangerous. The son, the mother, the engineer, the student may become idolaters, and that which was holy degenerate into a selfish superstition, that which ought to be a motive to a broad and wealthy life become a positive hindrance to true growth. Here, then, the far reaching opening words of our Lord's great prayer, May our Father's name be made holy? And what is our Father's name? Surely not only what we sound when we pronounce the words; surely not the name, as you or I have a name by which we are known among men, which pronounced gives no revelation of what we are. Our Lord is doing more than bid us abstain from profanity and pronounce his Father's name with reverence in our speech. And what is the name of God? That by which he has revealed himself, that by which he is known. Not a name like Brown or Smith, which tells naught of what he who bears it is, but a name spoken in our ears in all our daily toil and hours at home, as varied as our lives, but ever revealing him; now his love, now his wisdom, now his mercy, now his justice. It means for us to give to him our devotion that the seeming little things in life become as the treasured book of a mother's life or things rejected by men, as the little, worn out shoe, ever declaring the gracious blessing of a life not now seen. It means that our daily work is with holy things treated with loving care such as the engineer gives to his great instrument of modern life. It means that the most despised and scorned of things on earth may become a wealth of revelation, of divine wisdom, as does that dirty drop of water to the student's eager eye. It means that all around so speaks of our Father's love and wisdom that the earth becomes a temple and our duties and our cares that by which we offer praise and worship to him who built it. "Hallowed be thy name;" so teach me, Lord, to find in everything that greets my ear a name for thee, in everything that greets my eye thy autograph, that I may live in a holy place and offer continually the incense of my devotion. Here, then, the viewpoint of our religion as taught by him who gave it: Reverence toward all his created work, and, above all, for every human life, all cleansed, nothing unclean, no life so low, so forsaken, that it shall not recall that holiest moment of his work when he, too, cried: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" The utter darkness of the holy of holies in which he placed the light by which we might see the holiness of our God when the veil was rent in twain. St. Paul calls this same great virtue charity, but whether charity or reverence, it is that spirit that never scorns, never despiseth, is never puffed up, seeketh not her own, thinketh no evil, hopeth all things, and without which we may give all our goods to the poor and our bodies to be burned and yet are but as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. We can learn the holiness of God only by making holy all that he hath given us; we can have faith only as we make holy the name of our God. HOW TO BRING MEN TO CHRIST. By Rev. Hugh B. MacCaule. 1. The first difficulty is, "I am too great a sinner." But, I. Tim. i:15, says: "This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." See also Luke xix:19, "The son of man is come;" Rom. v:6-8, "When we were yet without strength;" Matt. ix:12, "They that be whole;" Rom. x:13, "Whosoever shall call;" Isa. i:18, "Though your sins be as scarlet;" Isa. xlii:25, "I, even I, am he that blotteth out;" I. Pet. il:24, "Who, his own self bare our sins." In explaining this subject make it plain that the vicarious atonement of Christ is the basis of the whole transaction. Don't minimize the sinner's debt. Make it large, but Christ's work as larger. 2. Others say, "I can't hold out." Answer with these: II. Tim. i:12, "He is able to keep;" John x:28, "They shall never perish;" I. Pet. i:5, "Who are kept by;" Isa. xli:10, "Fear thou not;" I. Cor. x:13, "There hath no temptation." 3. "I cannot give up my evil ways." Here the issue is plain. Give them up if you would have eternal life. Warning is in Gal. vi:7, 8. "God is not mocked," and encouragement in Phil. iv:13. "I can do all things." 4. Another class say variously, "I will be persecuted if I become a Christian." "It will hurt my business," "I am afraid of my ungodly friends." Here is another straight issue. No compromise should be suggested or allowed. Sacrifice is indeed the road to glory. The way of the Crown is the way of the Cross. See Matt. v:10-12, "Blessed are they;" II. Tim. ii:13, "If we suffer we shall also reign;" II. Tim. iii:12, "Yea, and all that will live godly;" Mark viii:35, "Whosoever will save his life;" Acts xiv:22, "We must through much tribulation." For privilege and victory, see I. Pet. ii:20, 21, "What glory is it, if when;" Acts v:41, "Rejoicing that they were counted worthy;" Heb. xii:23, "Looking unto Jesus." By all means show the blessedness of fidelity, as in Matt. vi:32, 33, "Your Heavenly Father knoweth;" Matt. xvi:26-27, "If any man will come after me;" Prov. xxix:25, "The fear of man bringeth;" Ps. i:1, "Blessed is the man;" I. John i:3, "Truly our fellowship is." 5. Similar to these are those who say, "The Christian life is too hard," "There is too much to give up." These, perhaps, outnumber all the others put together. They ought certainly to be shown that the Christian life does not mean giving up something. Some of the texts under No. 4 prove that. But the blessedness and satisfaction of the Christian life should be emphasized. So Phil. iii:7, 8, "What things were gain to me;" Ps. lxxxiv:11, "The Lord God is a sun and shield;" Rom. viii:32, "He that spared not;" I. John ii:17, "The world passeth away;" Matt. xi:30, "My yoke is easy;" I. John v:3, "This is the love of God." Compare Prov. xiii:15, "The way of the transgressor," and Prov. iii:17, "Her ways are ways of pleasantness." Other classes of those who have difficulties say, "I have no feeling." "I am seeking but cannot find," "God will not receive me." Let the pastor suggest passages in answer to these difficulties. If these studies are not followed by the young people they certainly ought to be presented to the church at some point. At least the elements of such knowledge should be explained to all. These studies may be used with profit in the church prayer meeting, and should be conducted by the pastor, who could add to them as he saw fit. Moreover, the exposition of these Scripture verses, that have been so blessed in evangelism, will make more clear the way of salvation to those already saved, tending to deepen gratitude as well as to cultivate skill. SERMONETTES Mastery of Self.—Begin at once to do the things, however trifling that seems to be given you to do. Thus you will find that mastery of self in conquest of life, that to obey Jesus is to become eternally a son of God.—Rev. F. M. North, Methodist, New York City. Church Degeneracy.—The carelessness with which many attend religious services is one of the principal causes of church degeneracy. Every Christian, no matter where he happens to be on Sunday should make it the rule of his life to attend religious services at least once during the day.—Rev. G. F. Hall, Independent, Chicago, Ill. Spiritual Salvation.—There is such a thing as spiritual salvation. There is such a thing as a man having in this world spiritual possessions as well as material possessions, and being thus possessed he can look through the shadow and see the substance, he can reach out and touch vanished hands, see the faces of those whom he has loved and lost awhile, can come into close fellowship with God and being pure in heart can see God.—Rev. P. G. Sears, Episcopalian, Meridian, Miss. THE HOUSEHOLD Wipe the plums and prick each in several places to prevent bursting. To seven pounds of fruit allow three pounds of sugar, three pints of vinegar, a tablespoonful each of ground cinnamon, mace and allspice and a teaspoonful, each of cloves and celery seed, all well mixed and tled up in tiny bags of thin muslin. Put the sugar, vinegar and spices in the kettle to boil and when this sirup is scalding hot add the plums and stir until tender. Remove them to heated jars, take the spice bags from the sirup and fill the jars to overflowing with the boiling sirup. Egg Jelly. Required: twelve ounces of loaf sugar, four lemons, one pint of water or more, two ounces of gelatine and four eggs. Rub the rind off the lemons with lumps of sugar. Squeeze the juice into a basin, measure it, and add enough water to make one quart. Put it in a saucepan with the sugar and gelatine; stir over a fire until the gelatine is melted. Beat up the eggs. Cool the juice, etc., till well off boiling point, pour in the eggs. Then stir over the fire till nearly boiling; it must not quite boil or the eggs will curdle. Broiled Frogs. Select eighteen or twenty good-sized, fine, fresh frogs, pare off the feet neatly, then lay the frogs on a dish, and pour two tablespoonfuls of sweet oil over, season with a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper, and squeeze in the juice of a fresh lemon. Roll them around several times in their seasoning, then place them nicely on the broiler, and broil them for four minutes on each side. Take them off, dress them on a hot dish, pouring a gill of maitre, d'hotel butter over, and send to the table. To Kill the Carpet Bugs. To exterminate carpet bugs take three ounces of common salt, one ounce of alum, one ounce of chloride of zinc. Make a solution with two quarts of water and let it stand one night in a covered vessel. Next morning pour the liquid off the drugs. Dilute with two quarts of water and sprinkle the edges of the carpet for a distance of ten or twelve inches from the wall. The bugs will leave and the carpet will not be injured. To Preserve Pears. Choose small pears, not too ripe; peel overnight to insure a good color, and leave the stalks on. To every peck of pears allow six pounds of loaf sugar, the juice and rind of two lemons, the latter chopped very fine. Boil all together gently until the pears are quite tender. Two hours is generally long enough. Let the syrup boil a little longer than the pears; then pour it over the fruit in the jars and tie down while hot. Home-Made Potted Meat. Cut two pounds of shin beef, one pound of lean ham, free from all fat, into small pieces, and mince through a mincing machine; then put into a stewpan; cover with water, and let it stew very gently until quite soft and pulpy. When done, stir the meat and gravy together, with a seasoning of pepper, salt and a little mace, then let it cool and stiffen, when it will be ready for use. Palatable either for breakfast or tea. Royal Lemon Sauce. In a granite saucepan mix half a cup of sugar, a level tablespoonful of cornstarch, a fourth of a cup of seeded raisins, a tablespoonful of shredded citron, and a dozen blanched and chopped almonds. Add gradually one and a quarter cups of boiling water and boil for five minutes, stirring constantly; then stir in a little of the grated rind and the juice of half a lemon. Good Housekeeping. Finger Marks on Paint. Finger marks on paint can be removed by rubbing with a lamp cloth dipped in prepared chalk. Never put soda in the water you use for washing paint. It injures delicate colors. Steins on China. Stains on china can be removed by rubbing with salt or powdered bathbrick. These remedies can also be used for cleaning an enameled saucepan that is stained or burnt. Suggestions for the Housewife. To make beets peel easily plunge in cold water as soon as they are boiled. cold water as soon as they are boiled. If one desires eggs to keep well, place them upright; otherwise the yolks will cling to the shell and spoil. The heat of an oven is right for bread or cake if a piece of paper put into it quickly turns a dark yellow. It is said that a pinch of saltpeter added to the water in which cut flowers stand will make them keep fresh much longer than otherwise. To remove stains of paint or varnish use a fluid composed of five parts alcohol, three parts ammonia and one-quarter benzine. Do not use near lighted gas or lamp. To open oyster shells easily just place the oysters on the warm kitchen stove for a second, then insert the knife between the thin portion of the shell and it will open easily.
