WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE MR. JAS. D P. MR. IAS. D. GARDNER We have much pleasure in presenting to our readers the portrait of Mr. James D. Gardner, Roman Catholic missionary to the Negro race, who is at present visiting Wisconsin. Mr. Gardner was born fifty-seven years ago in Virginia in a state of slavery, in which he continued until he was 15 years of age. At the age of 16, when he was six feet tall, as he is now, he enlisted in the northern army, in which he served three years in the Thirty-sixth United States Colored regiment. He was promoted to a sergeantcy by a special act of Congress, and possesses a medal of honor from the government of the United States, granted for special bravery on the field of battle. After leaving the army he commenced to read and study while working at his trade as a barber, until in 1886 he was licensed as a Baptist preacher in Peoria, Ill. During his life there he was induced by Rev. Father Hebron of that city to read a book entitled the "Faith of Our Fathers," and from its careful study he concluded to embrace the Roman Catholic religion, in which he has continued ever since, being not only a Roman Catholic, but "Fidei Defensor," a defender of the faith. He worked at his trade until eight years ago he was taken SAYS LYNCHERS ARE MURDERERS. Delaware Chief Justice Makes a Strong Charge to Grand Jury. ASKS PROMPT ACTION. Desires That Perpetrators in the Lynching of George White May Be Prosecuted. By Associated Press. Wilmington, Del., Sept. 21.—Chief Justice Lore of the Delaware supreme court today delivered a strong charge to the grand jury which is considering the criminal work of the county courts. After reciting the details of the murder on June 15 of Helen Bishop by George White and the subsequent lynching of White by a mob, Justice Lore said: "The crime of George White and his punishment are not before us. Upon his body human vengeance has done its work. If the matter concerned George White alone there would be nothing left for our consideration. "But for the first time the lawless and revolting crime of lynching has invaded this state. We have heard of lynching as a punishment for horse stealing in the south and west, for homicides, rapes and other crimes elsewhere; but we flattered ourselves that such scenes could not occur in our community, composed as it is largely of that good old English stock whose obedience to law has been one of the secrets of our civilization and of the safety of our people. We are now confronted, however, with this crime and --- VOLUME V. from a position bringing him $5 per day by Bishop Spaulding of Peoria and sent among his people to help uplift them through the assistance of his white brethren of the Roman Catholic church, and he expects to die in the work. He says he would freely give his life, like St. Thomas, if only his race could see its salvation, and he feels sure that it is only through its means that victory can finally be won. He declares that the color line stops when one enters that church, and especially the priesthood. In Mr. Gardner's work he is not allowed to be any burden on his own people—he is not allowed to take any money—not allowed to take a meal or occupy a bed unless it is paid for. Without money and without price the church has sent the offer of the truth, following the example of the Master. Mr. Gardner expects to spend the greater part of this fall and winter in Wisconsin and will make Milwaukee his headquarters. He is a gentleman of commanding presence and is possessed of a genial and pleasing personality. While not of his religious persuasion, we commend him and his work to our people, as anything tending towards the elevation of the race has had and always shall have our warmest support. must meet it. Shall we invite its visitation in the future by acquiescing in its perpetration or make such crime hereafter improbable if not impossible by dealing out adequate punishment? "No good citizen, we are persuaded, can regard the lynching of George White in any other light than as a brutal crime and as a flagrant violation of law. "Lynching is a crime against the law of both God and man. Every willful participant in such an act is a murderer. No man has a right to commit that crime because he believes or fears that some other person who is entrusted with the execution of the law will fail or has failed in the performance of his duty. "Lynching and mob law, their promoters and encouragers, whether they be of high or low degree, should receive no favors. Before I take my hatchet To trim my neighbor's trees. I'll look and see if buds of mine Are free from foul disease. And if I find a dead old branch Within the precincts of my ranch. Or little buds all fair and sweet With nests of worms in close retreat— A serpent lurking at the roots of rose or vine; No pity in my eyes will shine. I'll trample all with a strong foot. And wield my hatchet. If laws are made good and pure. Olive plants will be secure. We have OUR Rule; 'twas golden when Christ gave it unto sinful men. —Mrs. Dana Dexter, Wauwatosa. Messrs.

"I know of the bravery and character of the Negro soldier. He saved my life at Santiago, and I have had occasion to say so in many articles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth cavalry came rushing up the hill carrying everything before them. The Negro soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the Civil war he came 400,000 strong, and I believe he saved the Union."—President Roosevelt. AN UPRIGHT JUDGE. The Lord be praised! There is still an Elijah in the land—a prophet who followeth not after Baal. There is still a Daniel—a man who "dares to stand alone." There is still in these United States of America an "upright judge?" There is in the person of Chief Justice Lore of the supreme court of Delaware a man who has the courage of his convictions and who has given voice to these in no uncertain sound. His severe arraignment during his charge to the grand jury of the mob leaders concerned in the recent lynching in that fair state will have the approbation and applause of the civilized world, and the everlasting gratitude of a grateful race. "Lynching and mob law," he says, "their promoters and encouragers, whether of high or low degree, should receive no favors at the hands of thoughtful and patriotic men. There must be government or non-government. The line of cleavage is clear. All history teaches that the prevalence of mob law is the end of free government. Obedience to law is the life breath of our republic." Sentiments and opinions such as are indicated in the above extract could only come from the lips and heart of a "thoughtful and patriotic man." BEGGARS WHO MAKE BETS Officials Unable to Check Gambling in English Workhouses. The Birmingham (England) guardians are quite at a loss to deal with the gambling which is known to prevail among the inmates of their workhouse and to which one of the paupers recently drew the attention of the local government board. So long as the discipline of the house is not infringed, the officials say they have no power in the matter. Many of the old inmates were prosperous bookmakers and well known in the sporting world, some having kept a carriage and pair in the floodtide of success, and the ruling passion is undiminished. As paupers even they have plenty of opportunities to bet. Pensioners are allowed to retain a portion of their income, relatives provide many of the men with money, and there is always someone out on leave who can act as agent for the bookmaker. Then there are thoughtful friends of the pauper who see that he has a good supply of newspapers. Workhouse officials recall an incident illustrating the lengths to which the inmates will go. Some time ago it was found that they were persistently cutting the buttons from their garments, and the nuisance became so aggravated that an inquiry was held. It was ascertained that the old men, being temporarily penniless, were utilizing the buttons as counters to continue their gambling transactions. As to the present trouble, the guardians are disposed to discount the story of the pauper who alleges that one of the employes of the workhouse owes him £5, his winnings in seven bets made on the last Derby. The old man's tale was circumstantial. He produced a betting book filled with entries in what he insisted was the handwriting of the official. And he further alleged that he had regularly placed bets with him during a long period. But the employee denied the whole story, and as the handwriting in the betting book did not correspond with that in his official books and the pauper was unable to produce corroborative evidence, the matter dropped. The authorities were much surprised to learn that the pauper had appealed to the local government board. They have only been able to reply that they made full investigation, and that the man had not made out his case. There the matter rests until the guardians meet.—London Mail. Paris Kiosks. The newspaper kiosks in Paris are not esthetic enough for a municipality in constant pursuit of beauty. The authorities have decided to pull them down and construct new kiosks on some model to be decided by open competition. One suggestion is that each newspaper shall have a kiosk of its own, corresponding to its tradition. During the past two years not a single order has been given to any shipbuilding company or firm of the United States for the construction of a vessel intended for the foreign trade, says The Marine Review.

Sunday last being the day set apart by the Roman Catholic church for the "adoration of the Virgin Mary," a large congregation assembled in St. John's. The services were most impressive, and the sermon preached by Rev. Father Daly in the forenoon was a masterly production of pathos, instruction, information and eloquence. The reverend father took for his subject the incident when the Child Saviour was presented in the temple, and when the aged Simeon indicated to the Virgin Mother the sorrows in store for her by the words, "Yea, and a sword shall pierce thine own heart also that the thoughts of many may be revealed." He pathetically brought his hearers (the writer at least) to realize the fact that Mary throughout the whole succeeding thirty-three years of her life was aware of what a shameful death was in store for her only Son; that during His sweet infancy and boyhood and during the three years of His miracle-working and triumphs, this knowledge was rankling in her breast, and that, compared with this thirty-three years' mortal anguish, martyrdom itself was a mere nothing. He pictured the mother at the foot of the cross denied a mother's privilege of wiping the death sweat from the brow of her only Son. From these circumstances the reverend father claimed that Mary had borne the heaviest sorrows of any woman who had ever lived and thus was entitled to the adoration of the world. Proceeding further to elucidate his argument he said that while Mary had just had the highest crown of glory and womanhood conferred upon her, there could not be this without commingled sorrow. And so it had ever been and still is. As the greatest of women was the Rev. Father's theme, he instanced four of the most prominent and beautiful women, whose lives have been recorded in history:—Women who possessed everything the heart of woman could desire, and who yet were bitterly acquainted with sorrow. He recalled Mary, Queen of Scots, the adored of all men—the most beautiful woman of her time—the almost Queen of three countries, who yet languished a prisoner for nineteen years, and at length, through the jealousy of her own cousin, herself a queen, was cruelly beheaded, her last and only attendant being a dog, which "lapped her warm blood, which trickling ran, unheeded to the floor." He recalled Marie Antoinette of France, who was shamefully done to death after the loss of her all, by the Revolutionists in 1798. Coming to more recent times, he recalled the late Empress of Austria, distinguished alike for her beauty and goodness, but who suffered meffable disgrace through the misconduct of her own family, and who at last died by the dagger of a common assassin. And he pictured the old, widowed ex-Empress Engenie of France, still living, a lonely exile weeping by the grave of her beloved Napoleon—her only son slain by savages, while fighting for his adopted country. And so it is all through life that sorrow is mingled with joy. "The trail of the serpent is always there," but Father Daly did not leave his listeners in the slime of the "trail of the serpent," for he concluded his impressive discourse which will be a memorable one to at least one of his audience, with the impressive words. "And now, Lord, dismiss thy servant in peace, for mine eyes sees thy salvation." Mt. Olive Baptist Church The pastor of this church has shown an example to his brethren by grasping the opportunity offered by the visit to this city of a young man from Africa, bearing the very simple name of Prince Yueu- A New Race Enterprise! The Kinner Brothers, who have been well and favorably known in Milwaukee for years as well doing citizens, have secured a lease of the premises on the southeast corner of Wells and Third Sts., which they are now fitting up as a first-class Hotel and Buffet. The premises are admirably suited for such a purpose. On the ground floor there is an elegantly fitted up reception room, a buffet suitable for ladies and gentlemen, with entrances from both Wells and Third Streets, a public dining or lunch room and ample kitchen accommodation; besides rooms for parties of three or four who may wish to be more private. Upstairs is the Look-Out Inn, which the Kinner Brothers will reserve for gentlemen, exclusively, at a moderate price. These rooms are probably the largest and airiest in that portion of the city and are naturally adapted for the purpose to which the lessees intend to put them, namely, first-class rooms for first-class men, at a moderate price. In the basement, which is large and commodious, pool tables are being fitted up. No gambling will be allowed on the premises and the Kinner Brothers' well known probity of character is a sufficient guarantee that this rule will be stringently carried out. The three brothers, Lindsey, Joseph and Lamma, associated in this enterprise, are already well and favorably known in this city and we wish them all the success in their undertaking which their enterprise deserves. The Grand Opening of the Look-Out Inn, 231 Wells Street, will take place Saturday evening, October 3rd, and we are sure there will be a large crowd to congratulate the Kinner Brothers on their pluck, and we trust, success. We wish we had more families of this type to come from the south, and it would not be long before we could say, "Ethiopia will stretch forth her hand and reign." Yowah-Tutu-Yolof-Saba Yousou Mohammed, who is at present on a lecturing tour throughout the country, being his own manager. Prince Yucu etc. etc. paid a pleasant visit to the office of The Advocate during the week and recounted the facts of his eventful life. Prince Yucu, who is now known as plain Mr. J. Parker, claims to be of mixed Mohammedan and pure African blood. He is of royal blood on both sides of his family. In his boyhood, through the zeal of a Lutheran missionary, he was converted to Christianity. Since that time he has availed himself of the best opportunities for improvement which were at his command and both in Europe and America. He is at present a student in Philadelphia, but is anxious to complete his course for the B. A. degree and then hasten to Africa to try to do what he can for the Christianizing of his own people. Rev. A. W. Herrin kindly granted this visitor the use of his church Monday evening, when he gave a most interesting and instructive talk on the customs of the people of his own tribes in western Africa, especially in regard to their reception of Christian truths. Yucun's talk was decidedly interesting, and we trust that when next he faces a Milwaukee audience the same can be counted by hundreds instead of by tens. Mr. Parker's talk shroud certainly draw a large crowd if only the light of publicity is shed upon such an enterprise. Rev. Herrin is to be congratulated on being the first to grasp the opportunity and give this interesting young man the chance he wished in Milwaukee, to make himself and his people known to his kinsmen on this side of the Atlantic. Calvary Presbyterian Church. Last Sunday evening Rev. Mr. Kiehle delivered the first of two lectures on "Alaska and Its Future." The reverend gentleman depicted Alaska, at least that part of it which he had visited as a veritable Paradise and bound to be one of the show places of the world. Mr. Kiehle entranced his audience by his lucid description of his recent tour, but did not fail to deduce the everlasting lesson of something spiritual to be derived from every experience in life.

Women's Careers Limited. Women have succeeded better in painting than in novel writing. Mme. Morizot made an exquisite and beautiful adaptation of the art of Manet; she carried the art of Manet across her fan, and in doing so she invented an art for herself, and her paintings will always delight those who can appreciate good painting. And then there is Mrs. Browning, who wrote exquisite marginal notes to her husband's poetry. But when women try to think or to construct, their literature becomes sexless, it becomes nondescript, and one does not know whether to compare Daniel Deronda to an ox or a mule. The delicious and exquisite sex is not notable for philosophers or for artists, but for queens and courtesans. It is said that women have succeeded as queens. I am not a historian and cannot argue that point. Women have certainly succeeded as actresses and as courtesans—yes, and as saints; best of all as saints; they have worshipped worthy the Gods that men created.—George Moore in Lippincott's Magazine. Fields of Gold. The long spell of fine weather which England has recently been enjoying means money in the pockets of the farmer who has a large amount of hay to gather. The continuous sunshine has brought the crop to a high state of perfection, and thousands of farm hands are working hard to get in the luxuriant crops. This year the yield of hay may reach two tons an acre. Last year the yield throughout Great Britain exceeded the enormous total of 10,000,000 tons, and this year promises, so far, to give even finer results. Reckoning that 60 per cent. of the crop is consumed on the farm, and taking hay at $20 a ton, the commercial value of the proportion sold works out at the collossal figure of $80,000,000.

They ordered me to ruu the train to twenty-one mile post. “At twenty-one mile st two other masked men came out of the brush and ordered us off the engine. The bandits who had been hiding in the brush carried iwo long willow poles, on the ends of which were sticks of dynamite. These were placed in our hands and the fire- man and I were ordered to go back to the express car and order the messenger to open the door. If he did not we were to use the dynamite and blow it open. The bandits kept up a fusilade of shots to a the passengers to keep their heads inside the windows. We were compelled to proceed down to the baggage car, where I called out to the messenger: ‘It is Barrett. Open the door. Don't shoot.” “This demand had no effect and the ‘bandits took the dynamite poles from our ‘hands and placed them against the door of the car, after lighting long fuses. We fwere then ordered back to the engine wand stayed there with the bandits until the dynamite blew the door open. | Robber Is Killed. “As soon as the sound of the explosion had died away, I was ordered to go ahead of the party back toward the car.

We were ‘twenty feet from the express car when the messenger fired and killed the robber in front of me. The bullet, we after- nvards found went through his heart and ‘then struck me in the left shoulder, » “As I felt the bullet strike me I called to the taller man that I was shot and that my left arm was gone. The tall man told me it was all right; that I might go back to the engine with the fire man and go ahead. We examined the small man first, however, and found he was killed.” | ROCK ELM MAN INSANE.

Albert Froeblke, pastor ef the German Lutheran ehureh of this city, has established a precedent hitherte unknown in Neenah. ‘Although Mr. Sauer was one of the most highly respected members of the local G.

WANTS HIM AS COUNSEL. He May Resign as Circuit Judge to Con- duct Famous Case Before the Supreme Court. MANY RULINGS AGAINST TRUSTS. Chicago, Ili., Sept. 24.—Semi-authorita- tive announcement was made in Chicago yesterday that: Judge Peter 8. Grosseup of the United States circuit courtis con- sidering 2 proposition from the Northern Securities company, the acceptance of which would mean his resignation from the federal bench, ; The Northern Securities company, it is understood, is seeking to retain Judge Grosscup as counsel ‘before the United States supreme court when the merger litigation comes up for final argument before that tribunal this fall. The pee sition is said to have been placed before the judge some time ago, and the pos- sibility of his accepting it is said to be far from remote, ‘That he is considering resigning from the bench is said to be a matter of knowledge among many of his Chicago friends. Judge Grosscup is absent in the east, and will return to Chicago in a few days. In his absence Marshall E. Sampsell, his friend, corroberated the report. The conditious of the offer from the railroad magnates were not made known definitely, but they were said to be “flat- tering.” Aside frgm the large fee that undoubtedly woul fall to the lot of Judge Grosscup in the event of his ac- ceptance, it is said, he realizes the op- pore for adding to his reputation y aiding the case of the defendant cor- poration in the supreme court. Already the case has engaged the attention of some of the ablest lawyers in the United States, and now that the Northern Se- curities company is about to have its final inning in court the wealthy men be- hind that organization are reaching out to add to their present array of legal! talent. Some of Judge Grosseup’s rulings from the bench in opposition to trusts have at- tracted national interest. Among the more recent of his declarations from the bench was his decision in the so-called eared trust” case, in which he de- clared the agreements among the packers to be a combination in restraint of trade and illegal. In another recent decision he an- nounged a ruling on the interstate com- merce law which later brought a pro- jected combination of fourteen railroads to pause in a rate cutting scheme.

There was no opposition to the nomi. nation of Low, such «s had been predict- ed by District Attorney Jerome. As laid dowa in the platform and by the speak- ers at the convention the issue of the campaign, from the Republican point of view, will be whether clean and honest government shall be continued im the city or whether it shall return io the meth- ods of Tammany hall. There was not much enthusiasm. When Timothy b. Woodruff mentioned Mayor Low's name and later that of President Roosevelt in his speech there was only brief hand clapping. .

Duke of Devonshire, Liberal Leade: ef the House of Lords, The Duke of Devonshire has lately figured in gossip from across the sea in which it has been stated that he would retire from Parliament. This suggestion is scouted by the well-in- formed, who know that the fact of his leadership in the House of Lords will keep him from retiring. Few men in politics have had such a curious career as the Duke. Like Caesar, he has twice refused the crown of a statesman’s ambition. The pre- 7 me | laa \ ae BNR USA Ba Sa . Poa C7 BEB wen JZ Cees YZ OY X A! Yr Nyy, Uf i] DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE. miership was within his grasp in ioov, when Queen Victoria called him to form a ministry on Lord Beacons- field’s defeat. As Lord Hartington he was elected leader of the Liberal par. ty, and led for five years while Glad- stone nominally rested in his tent. Lord Hartington was born to great- ness, and did not covet honors; am- bitions are without his sphere. And so with rare self-derial he called from the tent and handed to him the wreath and the party power he had built up. Six years later, when the home rule split came, he became by consent the leader of the Liberal Unionists who seceded, Lord Salisbury offered to serve under him if he would take the premiership. Again he _ refused. Whether he was considered last year when Mr. Balfour was chosen to suc- ceed Lord Salisbury is not known. Probably he was not, for three years before he spoke of retiring from po- Aitlent life, and it was not generally believed that his inclinations lay in the direction of party headship. An idea prevails that “the noble Duke,” as the lords eall him, is indo- lent and indifferent. He may be in- different as to his own advancement, for he has always been assured of more than apparently he craves for— great wealth, high social position, seven mansions, an honored name in the peerage. He is careless of his per- sonal appearance, careless of the form and manner of his speech, but he mat- ter is always good and the judgment sound. He is what people call a safe man. ‘As to actual work in the field of poli tics, he has done as much as most men, while at the same time guiding important business interests at Bar row, Eastbourne and elsewhere. He is now 70 years of age, and has beer in Parliament since he was 24. STORY OF DOG TRAVELER. ‘Was Raised on Farm and Has Since Become Widely Known. Jack is the name of a dog that is known to everybody in Rushville, Ind., and which makes that place headquar- ters while he travels to all the towns within thirty miles of it, says the In- dianapolis News. He comes from an aristocratic family of spaniels and col- lies and spent his earlier years on a farm. He made occasional trips to town with the farmer in his youth and one day after the farmer's son gave him a whipping for disturbing eggs in a hen's nest Jack came to Rushville to live. He wandered about town for some days and then took up his quarters at a barn where an omnibus is sheltered and where he found friendly bands ready to aid him and when in Rush- ville he seldom fails to go with the bus to the railroad station. He was at the station one day when a tramp kicked him and Jack ran to the steps of a passenger coach and the train carried him away. He was gone for two weeks, when he came back on a train, took his old place on the bus and went back to the barn to live. Jack made a trip by train to Cam- bridge City a few days ago and when he returned on a freight train there was no bus at the station. He jumped on a dray and refused to get off until he had been hauled to town. The dog goes to Newcastle about once a week and he has his human friends there, who feed him “on the fat of the land,” most of the food coming from hotels and restaurants. In Newcastle he makes his headquar- ters at the postoffice, riding to and from the station in a mail wagon, guarding the pouches as he rides. He sleeps before the safe in the New- castle postoffice and regards the of- fice men as his friends. In the Same Band. Homer Davenport tells of a Utica Po- lice Court Judge who formerly resided in Silverton, Ore., where Davenport was born. Once an unfortunate man who was arrested for intoxication told the Judge that he had played with Davenport in the Silverton Cornet Band. The Jndge discharged the prisoner. The Jncident was published in the newspapers, and in the following year at least five other prisoners who were brought before the Judge explained that they had played with Davenport in the Silverton Cornet Band. The other day the Utica Judge telegraphed Mr. Davenport asking him of how many pieces the Silverton organization consisted. He concluded his message by saying: “Hereafter no prisoners will be dis- charged on account of former member- ship in this band. The limit has been reached.” Facts About Portland, Ore.

Do you read | him?” “No,” replied the barber; “never heard of. him.” “What, never heard of Mr. Howells! Why, he surely is better known than Mr. Allen.” “That may be, sir; but you see, L shave Mr. Allen.” Seasonable for Ice Plant. “All kinds of vegetables are very backward this season,” groaned the pinnacle of pessimism. “Well,” said the optimistic object, “at any rate, the ice plant is flourish- | ing.”—Baltimore American.

After a trial lasting eight days the jury in the case of Curtis Jett, charged with the murder of Town Marshal Thomas Cockrill at Jackson, Ky., July 21, 1902, last evening rendered a verdict of guilty and fixed the penalty at death. When the jury entered the courtroom after agreeing on a verdict quiet reigned for a few moments. Jett's mother had gone away earlier under the impression that no verdict would be reached and the verdict of death coming about two hours after the jury was out was a surprise to everyone in the courtroom. to everyone in the court. The reading of the verdict did not affect Jett, but his brother was very much distressed. His mouth quivered and he slowly turned pale. Just previous to the jury reaching an agreement, Judge Osborne, thinking that they would not reach a verdict yesterday, sent for them, intending to call off the session for the rest of the day. But the jury sent back word that an agreement had been reached and that it would be ready to report a finding to the court within five minutes. Elijah McKinney served as foreman of the jury and after the delivering of the verdict to the court the jury was polled. The death sentence was then read to Jett by Clerk T. J. Robinson, after which he was given over to the custody of the deputy sheriff. Col. Blanton, Jett's lawyer, will file a motion for a new trial tomorrow morning and if the motion is overruled he will appeal the case to the court of appeals at Frankfort, Ky. This has been the second trial of Curtis Jett on the charge of murder. In the first trial for the murder of J. B. Marcum at Jackson, Ky., Jett and Thomas White were sentenced to life imprisonment. Jackson, Ky., Sept. 23.—Judge James Hargis refused to make a statement in regard to the infliction of the death sentence against his nephew, Curtis Jett. Relatives and intimate friends of J. B. Marcum express great satisfaction. WILL CLOSE DOWN STEEL AND IRON PLANTS. United States Steel Corporation and Bessemer Furnace Association Claims the Market Is Overstocked. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 23.—The United States Steel corporation may close all its sheet steel plants in the near future unless the Amalgamated association will consent to a reduction under the same plan as was agreed upon last fall. An overstocked market and the dullness of trade at this time of year is the cause. Last year the Amalgamated association accepted a reduction of 3 per cent. on all material made for foreign orders, and the steel company, it is said, intends to make a similar reduction this year. The Chronicle-Telegraph says it has learned today that a movement is on to curtail the production of pig iron beginning October 1. The Bessemer Furnace association which controls a number of furnaces in the Mahoning and Shenango valleys has consented to the arrangement. It is certain, however, that a number of furnaces in the valleys will be put out of blast on the first of the month, but the number has not been decided. There has been a falling off in the demand for pig iron. CHARLES B. FARWELL EX-SENATOR, DIES. For Many Years Prominent in Politics and Successful in Business—Represented Illinois. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 23.—Ex-Senator Charles B. Farwell died at his home in Lake Forest early today of heart trouble after several months' illness. Mr. Farwell had been a prominent figure in local, state and national politics since 1844. In his business life he engaged successively in real estate and banking, and in 1864 purchased an interest in the present house of J. V. Farwell & Co. He was born in Steuben county, New York, eighty years ago. He was elected to the United States Senate from Illinois in 1887. He leaves three daughters, Mrs. Reginald De Koven, Mrs. Dudley Winston and Mrs. Hobart Chattfield-Taylor, and one son, Walter Farwell. KILLED BY FIST BLOW. Peacemaker Meets His Death While Attempting to Stop Quarrel in Cedar Camp. Munising, Mich., Sept. 23.—Charged with killing a man with a blow from his fist, John Granberg has been bound over for trial in the Alger county circuit court. The tragedy occurred in a cedar camp near Shingleton. Granberg was scuffling with another man, when Matt Lindquist, aged about 50, interposed an objection. Thereupon Granberg turned upon the peacemaker and struck him in the stomach. He died in ten minutes. The coroner's jury returned a charge of man-slaughter. DYNAMITE WAGONS RACE. People of Crystal Falls, Mich., Protest Against Dangerous Practice—City Attorney Takes Action. Crystal Falls, Mich., Sept. 23.—Racing by the drivers of powder wagons is to be stopped.

The city attorney has been instructed to draft an ordinance. SOLDIERS FILL COURTROOM Attorney Withdraws from Case When They Are Allowed to Remain Cripple Creek, Colo., Sept. 23.—Gen. Chase produced in district court today the four military prisoners for whom writs of habeas corpus were issued, and a strong force of troops was stationed in and about the courthouse. Former Attorney General Eugene Engley, who instituted the habeas corpus proceedings, protested against the presence of thirty soldiers in the courtroom, declaring it to be in violation of the constitution, and as they were permitted to remain he withdrew from the case. MURDER BY THE INJECTION OF POISON. London, Sept. 22.—Murder by the hypodermic injection of poison is reported by the Moscow correspondent of The Daily Mail, who writes that an unpleasant smell proceeding from a wicker basket which arrived as luggage at the Brest railway station in Moscow and for which no claimant appeared, caused an examination to be made, when the body of a well-dressed man was found. An examination showed that death had resulted through the injection of poison under the skin by means of a syringe. Inquiries were instituted which proved that the murdered man was a well-to-do land owner named Martin Tomasheffsky. Tomasheffsky had no occupation and resided at a hotel. He was passionately fond of card playing, and visited a club every night, where he played for heavy stakes and was, as a rule, very fortunate. On the day of the murder his cousin called at the hotel and asked him to come to his mother's house to play cards with two other friends of the family. At a given signal he was seized and the poison was injected under the skin of the forehead. The men took his money and divided it among themselves. After their victim died they placed the body in a basket and shipped it away. The perpetrators of the crime were confident that their social positions would prevent any suspicion falling on them. It was only after the strong chain of evidence had been completed that they confessed. WEALTHY LUMBERMAN SUED BY A WOMAN. Dubuque Girl Brings $100,000 Breach of Promise Suit Against George Potter. Formerly of Wisconsin. Dubuque, Ia., Sept. 22.—A $100,000 breach of promise suit has been started by Miss Sara Ham of this city against George Potter, a wealthy lumberman of Duluth. Mr. Potter is about 60 years of age, and at one time was associated in the lumber business at Necedah, Wis., with J. W. Babcock, chairman of the Republican national committee. It was on one of his periodical visits to Dubuque twenty years ago that Potter formed the acquaintance of the woman. He was an intimate friend of her father, Mathias Ham Although Potter was married, Miss Ham asserts that she was not aware of this until a few years after their acquaintance grew into a cordial affection for each other. She alleges that when she learned he was married he agreed to marry her on the death of his wife, who was an invalid. Miss Ham asserts that some years ago she gave Potter several thousand dollars to invest for her and that the investment proved profitable, although Potter has never paid back any of the money. The woman lives alone in a house of thirty-five rooms, which her father built years ago. SOO MINING FIRM IS DISCOURAGED. Outlook Dark for the Consolidated Superior Mining Company at Sault Ste. Marie. New York, Sept. 22.—The directors of the Consolidated Lake Superior Mining company, the closing of whose mines at Sault Ste. Marie threw more than 3000 out of work and brought the strained financial condition of the company into general notice, discussed their troubles at a meeting held at the office of E. J. Berwind of the Berwind-White Mining company in this city. The directors talked on all the plans suggested for the payment of the claim of $5,005,000, which Speyer & Co. hold, which is nearly three months overdue, and adjourned, to all appearances, in a less hopeful frame of mind than when they met earlier in the afternoon. FIND CORPSE OF LAD. Little Arthur Eaton of Chicago Supposed to Have Been Murdered by His Abductor. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 22.—For two days the police have been searching for Arthur Eaton, the 11-year-old son of C. W. Eaton of 318 Washington boulevard, and last night his body was found floating in Lake Michigan. Two of young Eaton's playmates declare that the boy while playing with them was seized and dragged away by Albert Shupe, who accused young Eaton of stealing $5. Shupe has been arrested and several of his conflicting stories as to his whereabouts, when the boy disappeared, have been proven false. It is thought by the parents of the boy that Shupe dragged the boy to the lake and threw him in. There is no direct proof of this, however. H. H. RAND IS ON LEAVE. Former Confidential Clerk of Postmaster General Not Dropped from Rolls —Sick Since July. Washington, D. C., Sept. 22.—[Special.]—The prolonged absence of H. H. Rand, formerly confidential clerk to the postmaster general and lately assistant superintendent of the salary and allowance division, has resulted in his being placed on leave, without pay. Mr. Rand has been absent since early in July, much of the time ill at his residence in Maryland. He has already exhausted his sick leave, and his annual leave, and therefore now is on leave without pay. This has led to the assertion that Mr. Rand has been dropped from the rolls, but it was stated at the department that this is untrue. It is said at the postoffice department, that Mr. Rand may, should he desire, return to his position as soon as he recovers his health. Caught a Shark on a Bass Line. In a communication to the New York Sun, H. C. Dodge of Montclair, N. J., reports that he captured, of Plum island, August 28, a 6-foot shark weighing ninety-four pounds, on rod and reel, using a fifteen-thread bass line and gut snelled hook in fifteen fathoms of water. After a hard fight for thirty-five minutes he brought the shark to the boat so that Capt. Lee Beebe could get a noose on his tail and tow him ashore. "And you told George he must speak to your father?" "Yes." "I know what he said." What difference does that make?

CHARGES AGAINST PRESIDENT OF IRON AND STEEL WORKERS. Recently Disappeared for Two Weeks and It Is Alleged Important Matters were Neglected. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 23.—Theodore J. Shaffer, president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, has been impeached. His trial will take place at the union headquarters in this city on Friday. The charges against Shaffer have not been made public, but they are pretty well understood, nevertheless. For two weeks prior to Labor day Shaffer was THEODORE SHAFFER. absent from his office, although several important wage scales were to be decided, and the strike at the Port View tinplate works, since lost, was pending. Shaffer's whereabouts were not known to the public until he appeared at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., on Labor day. He made a brief address and suddenly disappeared again, but reported at the Pittsburg office a day or two later. Also there is considerable feeling among the members of the association on account of the failure of the strike against the United States Steel corporation two years ago. NOTED SWINDLER CAUGHT NOTED SWINDLER CAUGHT MAN SENTENCED AT BOSTON SERVED IN WAUPUN PRISON. Edward A. Cranston, Alias W. S. Carson, Cheated Wisconsin Stockholders Known All Over Country. Boston. Mass., Sept. 23.—In the superior criminal court here, Judge Sherman has sentenced Edward A. Cranston, charged with forgery and swindling, to not more than fifteen nor less then ten years in state prison. On the stand the prisoner denied that his name was Cranston and said it was Edward Augustus Condit. Chief Inspector Watts then hunted up the records which tend to show that Condit, if he is the same person, is known all over the country as an expert in beating stock brokers. He is said to have at one time been wealthy. His plan was to open an account with a broker who would accept a check on a country bank as margin. If his trades showed a quick profit he would close the account and take up the check, letting it go by default if the speculation showed a loss. Cranston began to speculate, the records say, as early as 1872. He was convicted many times in the east and under the name of W. S. Carson was arrested December 22, 1892, in a Wisconsin city on a forgery charge. He was sent to the state prison at Waupun for three years. In 1898 he was arrested in Chicago on a similar charge, but was released on his own recognizance. UNDERSTANDING REACHED Bulgarian Premier and Turkish Minister Hold Conference-Better Feeling Prevails and Agreement Likely. Sofia, Sept. 23.—Premier Petroff had an interview with Ali Feruh Bey and as a result of this conference a much better feeling prevailed. An understanding was practically reached that Turkey should guarantee the protection of the Losengrad refugees. The Bulgarian war ministry has taken steps to strengthen the Bulgarian frontier. Turkey recently manifested a disposition to consider proposals for a direct understanding and Bulgaria advanced the following conditions: 1. The porte to grant a general amnesty and stop the persecution of the Bulgarians in Macedonia. 2. A mixed commission to be formed, the Bulgarian members of which should be nominated by the Bulgarian exarch and never be in a minority on the commission, to elaborate administrative reforms, insure the safety of the highways and the equality of Christians and Mussulmans before the courts, reform the taxation and gendarmerie and provide for personal security.

Bessemer, Mich., Sept. 23. — Anna Wozenak, aged 24, was shot and instantly killed last night by Ed. Mileski, her former fiancee, in front of her mother's home here. Mileski then shot himself and his recovery is doubtful. The girl had been visiting in Ironwood, and Mileski had gone there to endeavor to settle a quarrel that separated them a year ago. The couple came home together on the train and quarreled, it is said, while en route. When they left the train the girl dodged around behind a water tank to escape Mileski, but he followed her and shot her on her mother's doorstep. JEWS WERE SLAUGHTERED The True Facts of Riots at Gomel, Russia, on September 14. POLICE DIDN'T INTERFERE. London, Sept. 23.—A Russian correspondent's private letter from Gomel, written September 14 during the anti-Semitic riots, contradicts the Russian official version of the affair. It is in part as follows: "The trouble began Friday with a wrangle between a Jewish fish seller and a mujik (peasant), leading to a free fight, wherein several were injured, one mujik mortally. "Saturday and Sunday, anti-Semitic agitators went about exhorting the people not to leave their fellow Christians unavenged. Most of the Jews remained indoors. All the drinking shops were closed and the streets were patrolled. One hundred workmen from the railway workshops mustered on one of the principal streets, Monday, and began to break windows of Jewish houses, which they entered and plundered. A number of Jews who collected in self-defense were turned back by soldiers from the streets where the plundering was going on. They beat those not obeying forthwith. "The soldiers stood by while the plundering mob was committing all sorts of excesses. One could hear the shrieks of children in the streets, which patrols blocked against help from Jews outside. Some Jews tried to force their way down one of the side streets and the soldiers shot six dead. The police never showed themselves, while the troops protected the rioters." Gomel has 26,000 Jews out of a total population of 40,000. Washington, D. C., Sept. 23. The state department has been appealed to by the Jewish residents of Philadelphia, who are concerned over the safety of their kinsmen at Gomel, Russia, where the press dispatches have reported rioting, in which the Jews suffered, to procure news of their relatives. The department already had sent a communication to the American charge at St. Petersburg asking him whether American interests were involved in the affair at Gomel and the petitioners at Philadelphia have been informed of this action by the department. SIXTY UNIONS WILL AID MARBLE WORKERS. Fifty Thousand Men Will Fight Against Employers' Efforts to Maintain Open Shops Chicago, Ill., Sept. 23.—Sixty unions, having a membership of nearly 50,000, affiliated with the building material trades council, will, according to Secretary Deutsch of the council support the Marble Workers' union against the effort of the National Marble Dealers to maintain "open shops." Action pledging support was taken at a special meeting of the council today. The manufacturers plan to open their plants tomorrow with non-union men. This, say the union officials, will involve a strike of union firemen and machinists at each of the association shops where non-union men appear for work. CASE LOOKS MORE LIKE A SUICIDE. Clevland Police's Theory of Murder in Rayl Girl's Death Is Not Borne Out by Evidence. Cleveland, O., Sept. 23.—The coroner today began an inquest over the remains of Olive Rayl, the young woman whose mutilated body was found on the Lake Shore Railway track at Gordon Park yesterday. Nothing was brought out tending to show that the girl had been murdered and the body placed on the track, as the police were inclined to believe yesterday. Chief Koehler stated this afternoon that he felt sure the girl committed suicide. BLACKMAIL CASE. Sensational Developments in Supposed Suicide of Young Man in New York New York, Sept. 23.—"I send you here with $300. This is positively the last money I will send you. I will not let you blackmail me any longer." This, together with the torn fragments of a check, is said to be the text of a letter which has been pieced together from bits discovered in the apartment where John D. Kilpatrick, wealthy son of the late David Kilpatrick of Beatrice, Neb., was found Monday shot through the heart. The case had begun to look like one of murder, but it is now thought that the first theory—suicide—is correct, and that Kilpatrick killed himself to escape his tormentor. J. E. Lambie, step-father of the dead man, declared that sensational developments may grow out of the affair. He is quoted as saying: "We know the woman to whom the letter was addressed. She is a young married woman, the mere mention of whose name would cause a sensation in New York city, as she is known as a member of one of the most prominent social sets in the city. We know enough now to be convinced that my step-son committed suicide. I have learned since that he wrote another letter and another check and sent them to the woman. I do not know the contents of the other letter." WILL AUCTION THE ASSETS New York, Sept. 23. It was stated today that the Speyer syndicate probably would sell the assets of the Consolidated Lake Superior company at auction on October 1. Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 23.—John S. Freeman, counsel in this city for the Consolidated Lake Superior company, today made the following statement: "There is a movement on foot in which a majority of the stockholders will, I believe, unite to save the property, and I think a proposition looking to the reorganization of the company is under way and will be agreed to by the stockholders. It was learned today that the plan provides for a new company capitalized at from $35,000,000 to $40,000,000 and it is proposed to raise that amount by a bond issue of $5,000,000 and an assessment of $3 per share." TO INVADE NICARAGUA. New Orleans, La., Sept. 22.—A boundary dispute has arisen between Honduras and Nicaragua and yesterday's Central American steamer Breakwater brings authentic reports that an invasion of Nicaragua by Honduran troops is imminent, if it has not already taken place. Recently James Deitrich of Pittsburg, heading a big $6,000,000 company of Pennsylvania capitalists, secured rich concessions on the Wenks river, which separates Honduras from Nicaragua. The concessions call for almost every sort of development and run almost across the republic from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The grant reaches south a considerable distance from the river and this is the disputed territory. President Deitrich has erected terminal facilities at the mouth of the river and is developing the whole country. A handsome revenue is coming in. President Bonilla of Honduras recently sent a commission, headed by Gen. Ordonez, to Cape Gracias, to demand certain rights from the collector of customs. If the demand was not granted President Bonilla threatened instant war. President Zelaya of Nicaragua was notified and he hurried troops from Bluefields to the scene. Cape Gracias is in a state of fright. The United States will become involved should war break out, as the rights and concessions of American citizens are at stake. SHE WAS MURDERED. Effort Made to Have Death Appear to Have Meen Caused by Railway Accident. Cleveland, O., Sept. 22.—The mutilated body of Miss Olive Rayl, 22 years old, was found early today lying across the Lake Shore railway track at the entrance of Gordon park. It was at first supposed that Miss Rayl had been killed by a train, but later the police stated that an investigation developed that the girl had been murdered and the body placed on the track, where a train had cut it in two. Miss Rayl lived with her brother, Dr. W. L. Reyl, in Glenville, a suburb. She was handsome and highly respected. Thus far the case is a mystery. In the roadway near where the body was found the police discovered the fresh tracks of a rubber tired buggy and also the footprints of two persons, one being that of a woman and the other the heavy imprint of a man's shoe. In the bushes, a short distance from where the girl's body lay, was found a man's plain linen handkerchief. It was saturated with blood and bore the initials "J. D." The throat of the dead girl was discolored as though she had been choked. The body was cut completely in two across the chest by the train, while the limbs were broken and crushed. When the body was examined at the morgue, a cut in the head, which it is thought could not have been inflicted by the cars, was found. Dr. Rayl, the young woman's brother, expressed the belief that she had been murdered and the body placed on the track in order to hide the crime. Dr. Perkins of Lakeside hospital, who performed the autopsy this afternoon, said there was no evidence of assault found on the body. He added that he was not prepared to say whether or not the girl had been murdered. Miss Rayl came to Cleveland from Wellsville, O., several months ago and had been employed as a nurse in a local hospital. She left her brother's home yesterday morning for the hospital. Her relatives heard nothing more from her until they learned of her death early today. Chief of Police Kohler, after a personal investigation, stated late today that he believed the girl had committed suicide while suffering from despondency. Half a dozen detectives have been detailed on the case. SIX PERSONS INJURED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT. Machine Plunges Over an Embankment Into River at San Jose, Cal. San Jose, Cal., Sept. 22.—An automobile containing six persons plunged over an embankment and fifteen feet below to the bed of the Guadalupe river late last night, injuring all of the occupants, one of them, Mrs. De Saissett, probably fatal. The party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Pietro De Saissett, Mr. and Mrs. Peter E. Col and their son Lewis and the chauffeur, William Corliss. Mrs. De Saissett's chief injuries are internal. Mr. Col's left arm was broken in two places, and Mrs. Col suffered the fracture of her collar bone. The hurts of the others consist of many but not dangerous bruises. De Saissett is a well-known capitalist. Col is a prominent wholesale grocer. MANY IRISHMEN DESIRE TO RETURN. If They Can Acquire Former Holdings Under New Land Bill They Will Quit America. London, Sept. 22.—Interest has been evoked here by a letter from Secretary O'Callahan of the United Irish league of America to Mr. Condon, M. P., saying that since the passage of the Irish land act many evicted tenants now residing in the United States have been making anxious inquiries regarding the possibility of reacquiring their former holdings. Mr. O'Callahan expressed the belief that should a large proportion of the inquirers be able to do so it would go far towards solving the question of emigration and turn the tide back to Ireland. WILL TIE UP ALL MINNEAPOLIS MILLS. Flour Loaders' Demands Are Refused by the Millers and a Big Strike Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 22. Certainty of a general strike in all the Minneapolis flour mills tomorrow morning was established this noon when the millers issued a statement severely criticizing the flour loaders for making unjust and unreasonable demands and refusing to grant the eight-hour day at a ten-hour wage scale. "On the car the other day I overheard a short dialogue conducted certainly under cross purposes," said Will Henniger yesterday. "An old gentleman, somewhat hard of hearing, sat by me. A young fellow came in, and referring to the prevailing Little Rock summer mania, said: "Well, we won. "Yes, pretty warm,' assented the old gentleman. "'Eight to one,' continued the youth, referring to the score. "Worse than that, 92,' the old man gave answer, referring as before to the weather. "Then the young man changed his seat and found more congenial companions with whom to discuss the ball game." Arkansas Gazette. LATEST MARKET REPORTS. MILWAUKEE, SEPTEMBER 23, 1903.

Prof. Langley's flying machine seems to be fated to break down or break up. Should King Peter vacate, the throne or Servia might be put up at county fairs for a nickel a throw. Now that the races are over, the reporters seem to be bent on stirring up all sorts of breezes for Sir Thomas Lipton. When a racing automobile slips the trolley, it is time to skip out. But one must be very quick to grasp the time to do the skipping. The reason why Major Delmar failed to break the record may be found in an oversight of the chauffeur of the pace-making automobile, who failed to fasten a tow-line to the gelding's collar. The cup defender is now high and dry on a dock, awaiting a future possible call to engage in the same patriotic work. While she is thus safe from harm from the elements, her owners will do their yachting in boats that can take the weather as it comes, and go out of sight of land should occasion require off-shore veyaging. The August fire loss was $8,428,350—not a large amount, but large enough to bring the total for the first time during the present year beyond what it was at the corresponding period of last year. The fire loss in the first eight months of 1903 has aggregated $105,032,200, compared with $104,559,400 in the first eight months of 1902. Prof. Koch's reported discovery of a method by which cattle can be rendered humunc against tuberculosis is important to the cattle interests of the world. But its chief interest to humanity will lie in the hope that through this discovery a way may be found to render human beings immune against the "white plague" which annually claims so many victims. --- Sir Thomas Lipton's concession that America cannot be beaten in yacht designing by any Briton at present in the business, has incensed a number of enthusiastic British yachtsmen, and the next challenge may come from a syndicate. This would not be objectionable, as three of the American defenders have been syndicate boats. The expense of either challenging or defending is now almost too heavy for one person, however rich he may be. President Roosevelt's declination of a silk flag which represents months of nerve-wearing labor on the part of the donor, a poor woman who had also put into the emblem far more money than she could afford to spend for other than actual needs, was a trying exercise of judgment intended to discourage any further testimonials of the kind. It is embarrassing to receive gifts from those who can ill afford to make them, as the recipient feels that it is utterly impossible to accept without making some financial return, which would of course be in bad taste. It would be well if the presentation habit could be suppressed in its relation to officials, because of the imputation that some return is looked for—not in cash, but in favors which represent cash indirectly. Capt. Robert Wringe's expressed determination to become an American citizen and do his future yacht sailing on this side of the Atlantic is the result of his observation that a man of his skill can do better in a financial way in this country than in Great Britain. Capt. Barr of the Reliance was a British skipper several years ago, but he is now the "crack" American skipper and the recipient of a salary that is large in comparison with the best that he could have hoped for on the other side. With her challengers thus increasing the list of expert sailing masters on this side, and her designers falling short of the marks set by the Herreshoffs, Great Britain can have no hope for a share of glory in the possession of the America's cup unless Mr. Carnegie's prediction is fulfilled.

Those who know that an effort is being made to solve the enigma which is continually eluding them—from where will they derive courage to sustain them in life and death? Yet there are men who find sufficient consolation in the possibilities stored up in the future. They are so greatly interested in the welfare of humanity at large that the sanguine predictions of scientists are an actual comfort to them, and they rejoice in the glorious promises held out to their descendants. Much has been done of late years in science to attack disease with its own weapons. My readers may not know what is meant by the "serum" treatment. It represents the attempt of science to hoist microbes with their own petard. A horse is inoculated with the microbes of diphtheria. The animal remains strong and well under this treatment. Then in blood drawn from it we find developed in course of time what we call principle to tuberculosis Behring's re-ress held in 1901, he was a different belief he founded vicious cow, laden case in, say, a child dictum was dis-ined that the dis- Lord Chief Justice Alverstone Lord Alverstone, Chief Justice of the commission to delimit the British North America.

The germs multiplying in the serum or fluid of the blood have given rise to this new substance. When the latter is inoculated into a child suffering from diphtheria it cures the little patient. The antitoxin acts upon the microbes causing fell disorder, produces reaction in the child, with the result that the disease is checked and recovery made possible. It is the application of this same principle to tuberculosis which forms the subject of Professor Behring's researches. Dr. Koch, at the great congress held in 1901, maintained that tuberculosis in the cow was a different disease from that found in man. On this belief he founded his declaration that the milk of a tuberculous cow, laden with germs, could not produce the disease in, say, a child fed on the milk. Needless to say, this dictum was disputed, and it now fairly well ascertained that the dis- Lord Chief Justice Alverstone Ex-Secretary of State John W.

Two or three lions sometimes combine in such an attack, but from the marks seen on buffalo it is probable that sometimes there is a single combat for it can hardly be supposed that the buffalo could escape from more than one lion. The number of foot pounds of energy put into such a struggle must be something extraordinary. The efforts of a lion, which can strike a man's arm from the shoulder and leave it hanging by a strip of skin or which can carry a cow over a high stockade, endeavoring unsuccessfully in close grips to drag down or disable a buffalo bull, must be on a gigantic scale, and the strength which can shake him off and, it is believed, occasionally crush the lion afterward must be even more amazing. A buffalo bull has been credited with engaging three lions in mortal combat and making a good fight before he was disabled by one of the lions ham-stringing him by biting his legs from behind. --- Q FIGHTING DISEASE WITH ITS OWN WEAPONS. Q ASSENDS THE HIGHEST PEAK. Miss Peck Performs Remarkable Feat in South America. Aided by oxygen carried in cans and other carefully selected helps to the modern mountain climber, a woman— Miss Annie S. Peck of Chicago has attained the highest altitude ever reached by man. She has accomplished the feat of ascending Mount Sorata, in Bolivia, whose height is estimated from 21,000 to 25,000 feet, and is exceeded only by the unconquered peaks of the Himalayas. ```markdown ``` Some scientists believe Sorata to be even higher than the Himalaya peaks, and it MISS ANNIE S. PECK. is possible that when the measurements made by Miss Peak's expedition are received man will be known to have reached the highest point in the world, and the honor of having accomplished this will be a woman's. Miss Peck, who is well known as a mountain climber and is known socially in Chicago and other large cities of the country, was accompanied on the trip by President W. A. G. Tight of the University of New Mexico and three guides, one of whom is Antoine Maquiguaz, who guided Sir Martin Conway, the noted English explorer, when he attempted and failed to do what Miss Peck has accomplished. The ascent of Mount Sorata crowns a remarkable career of mountain climbing by a woman who in a few years has ascended the highest peaks of Europe and America, including Mount Orizaba in Mexico, which is 18,600 feet high, and, next to Mount McKinley, is the highest peak in North America, Mount McKinley being 20,600 feet. Miss Peck is a graduate of the University of Michigan and formerly was professor of Latin at Smith College. Wild Animal Fights. In the pitched battles which sometimes take place between the great carnivora and the largest and most powerful of the ox tribe the forces of animal courage, desperation and bodily strength must be exhibited on a scale never elsewhere seen, says a writer in Leslie's Weekly. Such combats do oc- ease of the cow can be transferred, by inoculation, to man, showing that he is susceptible of attack by one channel at least. Dr. Behring's investigations were directed to the solution of the opposite question apparently. He prepared a pure culture of the bacilli of human tubercle. This he used to inoculate the cow. The bacilli were so treated that they retained their full measure of disease producing qualities. Inoculated with this human culture, the cow was proved to be proof against infection from its own kind. The younger the animal experimented upon the more efficient was the protection afforded. Now, there follows upon this result another of much importance. It seems that cows so treated develop in their milk some principle or other which has the effect of rendering children fed upon it insusceptible to tubercular attack. If we can be assured on this point a great advance will have been made toward the prevention of the disease in early life, assuming, of course, that tuberculosis is capable of being caused in young children by the giving to them of milk from cows whose udders are affected. Whether the same result would follow in the case of adults is a matter awaiting further investigation, but at least a great gain would accrue to the civilized world if tuberculosis were made impossible of conveyance through the medium of a fluid so universally used as milk. HEROES AND HEROINES IN HUMBLE LIFE. Carlyle in his essay on heroes seems to regard power and its exercise as the chief requisites of heroism, and to ignore or minimize motives and moral qualities. Emerson uses the words hero, heroic, and heroism in a broader and more philosophical sense. Happily, he was free from prejudice, intensity and narrowness.

In Chicago in May, at a time when there had been no rain for three weeks, six glass plates two and one-half inches square were exposed in as many streets for one minute. The plates were then incubated, so that each particle of dust to which a germ was clinging would soon be surrounded with a colony of germs which could be seen and counted. The average per plate was 1,650 colonies. On the day following nearly an inch of rain fell, and on the next day similar plates were exposed at the same street corners, which after development, showed but 270 colonies. A good rain had diminished the number of microbes more than 80 per cent. A Profit from Garbage.

VISITORS TO CHICAGO Could Not Better Themselves Than by Visiting WALDORF CAFE HEART WOUNDS. Not Necessarily Fatal Unless the Weakest Spot Is Punctured. In wounds of the heart itself the escape of blood is never in large quantity, and the lethal consequences are due to the fact that the escape of blood from within its cavity (or cavities) into the surrounding sac of the pericardium mechanically interrupts the alternate contraction and expansion by which its pumping action is maintained. Accordingly, the results of wounds of the heart are usually identical with those of gradual suffocation. This fact was strikingly demonstrated in the case of the Empress of Austria. And the diabolic skill and precision with which the wound was inflicted in her case offer a diagrammatic illustration of a necessarily fatal wound of the heart. The instrument used was too large to form a mere "needle puncture;" it was inflicted too high in the chest to be "non-penetrating," for it was aimed with truly fiendish ingenuity at the position of one of the thin-walled of the four cavities of the heart, and the directness of the penetration, combined with the thinness of the wail of the cavity, rendered it physically impossible that the wound could be "valvular." The Israelite warrior of old smote the enemy—when possible—"beneath the fifth rib," because the impulse of the heart is felt there. But he probably did not know that it is in that precise position that a wound of the heart is least necessarily fatal. The Italian assassin of recent date displays incomparably greater skill and knowledge. The science of the present day also proves that the historic account of the death of Admiral Villneuve is open to skeptical doubt. And the recent cases of suture of the heart give illustration that modern surgical skill may attempt, and with success, the seemingly impossible. American Medicine. Meanest Man He Knew It was Joseph Folk, the young district attorney of St. Louis county, who brought the St. Louis boodlers to justice. Talking one day about boodling and the meanness of it, Mr. Folk said to a reporter: "There is something small and little about robbing taxpayers, robbing widows and orphans and all manner of poor folk. He is a mean man who commits this crime—as mean a man as one I saw once on a Mississippi steamer. "And he was strangely mean, that chap. He was traveling with his daughter, a little girl of 5 or 6. He was holding her over the rail, so that she could see a monster catfish, when, somehow, he let go of her, and she fell into the deep stream with a splash. "A deckhand was after her in an instant. Head foremost he shot in, and she was back in her father's arms again before three minutes had passed. "The father was profoundly grateful to the deckhand. He pulled out a dollar bill. "Got any change?" he said. Got any change? he said. "The man had none, so the father went bustling nervously here and there over the boat, waving his dollar bill and saying: "Got any change? Got any change? Who's got change for a dollar? Here's a man has just saved my daughter's life, and I want to give him a quarter. Got any change there?"—New York Tribune. The 214 wells completed in the Baku (Russia) oil field show an average depth of 1032 feet and an average initial production of 292 barrels per well per day, against an average depth of 1086 feet and an average production per well per day of 330 barrels for the 358 wells completed in 1901, indicating a very material increase in the depth of drilling and a not inconsiderable falling off in the average productiveness of the wells.

Whatever is said of human souls who may have been or will be taken to glory without dying is true of those whose bodies have been laid in the grave. Moses, no less than Elias, appeared to the disciples, with Jesus in glory. What may we infer is the present heaven of departed souls. They are consciously alive. These two had not ceased to exist. They were not asleep in unconsciousness. They were conversing together with Jesus. We sometimes speak of the dead as if no longer alive in any sense. They are "no more," they are "in the grave," they lie in yonder churchyard. When we hear their last sigh, and the dear hand no longer responds to our grasp, and the light of eye is quenched, it is natural to think our beloved one has ceased to be. But the life they had in Christ, like his own life, remains—they are more alive than ever! If we had been with Elijah when he was caught up to heaven, we should not have gone home grieving, drawing down the curtains, and abandoning ourselves to woe as if we had forever lost our friend. Neither shall we consider those whom Christ has taken to himself as dead. They, sharing death with Moses, share also continued life with Elias. Both "appeared in glory." There are higher degrees of glory, ever advancing with everlasting existence. But there is a glory immediately following death. The glory of the calm after storm, of rest after toil, of crown after conflict. Death does not deprive of this, but rather is the instrument of conferring it. The two glorified visitants were together. They could not have been while they were alive. Then five hundred years divided them. God had different works for different servants, in different ages and in distant places. We sometimes wish we could grasp the hands of saints of other days and countries—of whom we read, whose hymns we sing. In heaven no barriers of time or place separate the children of God. Abel and Stephen, Abraham and Paul, David and Peter, hold sweet communion yonder. And this will commence with the new life we call death, even as Moses was in the company of Elijah. Of course there is recognition. These two were not unnamed, generic representatives of Heaven, but absolutely two individuals, with their distinctive names and personalities. All have one likeness to Christ, but all have their peculiar varieties of feature and character. What joy will it be when, cleansed from all faults and infirmities, we shall greet again those we loved here, to enjoy the perfect communion of the saints made perfect! We wish we had been with the three disciples to enjoy the company of the two saints even for so brief an hour. We also shall meet Moses and Elias. And what will at first yield still greater bliss, we shall join the beloved ones known during the present life. We shall greet them, be greeted by them, Best of all, Moses, the buried one, equally with Elijah, the translated one, was with Jesus. This is the climax of the believer's hope. "Absent from the body, present with the Lord." "We shall be like him, seeing him as he is." They at whose grave we weep are not down there in the dark and damp cavern or clay, but in the immediate presence of the Lord of glory. We may weep for ourselves for a while because deprived of their visible presence, but we should rejoice for them as much as if they had been translated like Elijah. They are still alive, are conscious in glory, together with dear ones gone before, with all the saints, with Jesus himself, which is far better, sharing with Moses the Heaven of Elijah. But how to get there? Fitness pervades the universe—plants for the soil, animals for the element in which they live. Likeness and sympathy are needed for enjoyment of society. We must be made "meet" for their inheritance if we would share with the "saints in light." We may not share the lofty endowments of Moses and Elijah, but we must resemble them in the dominant feature of their character—absolute surrender to God. We may think of these two in another aspect. They represent the Old Testament. This was designated as "The Law and the Prophets." Moses represented the Law, Elijah the Prophets. Christ was himself the New Testament. He was charged with opposing the former dispensation. But his presence in friendly converse with them was emphatic testimony between Law and Gospel. Draw near and listen to their conversation. Was it about recent events in Heaven, or about the grand reception awaiting his return to his throne? No—it was concerning the death he was about to die! Strange that the glory of Tabor should suggest the gloom of Calvary—the presence of those raptured saints, the hateful mob of murderers! Yet there was no theme so attractive to the three. It was the event to which by type and prediction the Lawgiver and the Prophets had borne constant witness. It was the act of atoning sacrifice to which they owed the ages of bliss they had enjoyed. What other theme so near their hearts? And with Christ—was not this death at Jerusalem the great sacrifice he had come to offer? This was constantly before him. Of this he often spoke. Here our second question is answered—How to get to heaven, which is so near? By acceptance of that atonement. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. With this as our ground of acceptance with God, our title of admission, and the renewal of our hearts by the Holy Ghost as our certificate of fitness we may have confidence to enter the gate of Heaven when we die, and "not be ashamed before Christ at His coming." SOCIAL SAFETY VALVES. By Rev. B. "And David danced before the Lord with all his might."—II. Sam., vi., 14. Church people who are opposed to dancing might note with profit that this spiritual hero of the Old Testament danced, actually danced. It is instructive to the Puritan spirit that dancing has ever been connected with religious ceremonies. The primitive Christians probably danced. REK. R. A. WHITT But David danced as a means of expressing his uncontrollable joy that the ark of the Lord was to rest in his new city. David must needs have some sort of a safety valve for his intense feelings, and so he danced. David stands as a type of social need. A study of man as an individual or in the aggregate reveals two primal characteristics. Firs, the possession of potential and dynamic forces of vast sweep and awful intensity. Witness the passion and power of a mob. Second, these forces are ever seeking expression. The real problem of life ever has been and ever will be the control of these forces. The practice of the past has been repression, the wisdom of the future will emphasize the policy of right direction. The vital question is not how to repress the vital forces of the individual and society, but how to find the proper modes of expression for them. Repression is no longer possible or desirable. Give natural instincts and desires expression under right guidance. Yet the average church does little or nothing to supply these natural wants. It is left for the theater, the club, and, unfortunately, often it is left to the cheap resort or the attractive saloon or billiard hall to supply what, if the church were wise in its generation, it would hasten to supply. Every church ought to have pool tables, social parlors, card tables and dancing halls for its young people especially. The parish house with all of these equipments will some day be seen to be as necessary as the provision for the Sunday school classrooms. Bewailing the supremacy of the saloon, the power of the theater, the church does next to nothing to stem this tide except to fulminate. Here in Englewood we have had an instance. The churches have been greatly scandalized about the advent of the Sunday theater. I do not know that I am ready to say that I am glad the Sunday theater has come to Englewood, though if the plays are of the right kind worse things might have come to us. But what have the churches to take the place of the theater? The usual stereotyped Sunday evening service, to be sure; solemn, exhortatory, preaching the gospel of repression. Song services, popular lectures, reading-rooms with social privileges, of these things we have none, and the churches do nothing toward providing them. Our Law and Order League is valiantly suppressing all questionable resorts, but putting nothing positive in our community to give better direction to the restless cravings of a human nature seeking some kind of expression for its restlessness. THE POWER OF PRAYER. It is a far cry from a vacation to the realities of a great city. It seemed a long ways from the mountain of transfiguration to the desperately afflicted boy in the valley, but we need the vision of the mountain in the shadow of the valley. We as churches and ministers have a great lesson from the scene where the disciples, defeated in their attempt to relieve the agony of a boy and the distress of his father, resort to disputations and reproaches. I believe in doctrinal preaching, because doctrine is simply the authoritative and definite message to a man about himself and his God. Let the church turn again to its Bible for illustrations of real life. But the weakness of the church is in simply discussing a truth which if believed and applied is sufficient for men's ills.

Methodist Brooklyn. N. Y. THE BOOMING CANNON RECITALS OF CAMP AND BATTLE INCIDENTS. Survivors of the Rebellion Relate Many Amusing and Startling Incidents of Marches, Camp Life, Foraging Experiences and Battle Scenes. At the recent Confederate reunion in New Orleans the hearts of the old soldiers were saddened by the statement of their comrade, Gen. John B. Gordon, that his health was failing and that he was about to wind up his career. The most wonderful part of it all is that he has survived until this day. It is almost miraculous that he should have passed through such an ordeal during the war between the States and come out with his life. In Scribner's Magazine Gen. Gordon has an article on "Antietam and Chancellorsville," in which he recalls the notable fact that in the former battle he was wounded no less than five times. Gen. Gordon's troops had the most advanced position on that part of the field where they were stationed, and there was no supporting line behind them. He soon saw that almost desperate attempt would be made by the Federals to break the line at that point, and it was to be through sheer force. It was Gen. Gordon's business to prevent this, and so he gave orders that his men were not to fire until he should give the signal. The Federals came forward with unloaded guns, their purpose being to charge with bayonets and through their superior numbers break through. In spite of the impatience of his men, Gen. Gordon waited until "they should see the whites of their enemies' eyes." When the Federals were almost upon him he ordered his men to fire, and their rifles flamed and roared in the face of the Yankees like a blinding blaze of lightning, accompanied by the quick and deadly thunderbolt. It was impossible for any body of men to withstand this fire, and the Federals withdrew, but only to renew the attack again and again, in the same way, and thus the battle waged furiously until sundown. During this engagement Gen. Gordon was shot five different times, twice through the leg, once through the arm, once through the shoulder, and finally through the face. In spite of four wounds, from all of which he was suffering and bleeding, he held his position at the front, giving his commands and rallying his men. At the last shot, however, he fell forward and lay unconscious with his face in his cap, and he thinks that he would have been smothered by the blood from this last wound "but for the act of some Yankee, who, as if to save my life, had at a previous hour during the battle shot a hole through my cap, as if to let the blood out." He was borne to the rear in an unconscious condition and the surgeon despaired of his life. But Gen. Gordon declared that he would not die, and a little later, when his devoted wife arrived, he greeted her in an affectionate, jocular way and assured her that he would get well. Thanks to her faithful watching and nursing he did get well, and was, by and by, after seven months, restored to his command. It is no wonder that Gordan's men said and believed that he had a "charmed life." It is inconceivable that a man should have been shot five times during a single engagement and survived the shock; it is equally remarkable that a man who suffered so terribly from the enemies' bullets should have preserved his life and lived to a good old age.—Richmond Times-Dispatch. Substitute a Cigar Sign. During a recent social campfire, held at the big round table in the quartermaster's corner of a comrade's canteen by several Grand Army survivors, says a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger, the major was called upon to contribute his share of the heroic and humorous reminiscence. "Well, boys," replied he, "you ought to know by this time that I can draw a small pension much easier than I can tell a funny story, and I can just now recall but one, and in that you'll be apt to find more truth than tickle. "At the time of the first draft I was stationed in Buffalo as recruiting officer for my regiment, and the price of substitutes to fill allotted quotas often reached a bigger figure in greenbacks than a common soldier could earn in a couple of years. So universal and overwhelming was the patriotic desire to be huskily represented by somebody else in defending old glory that even Indians were accepted for that purpose. Buffalo, too, was the biggest recruiting station in the whole country, and as such a golden field for a small army of bounty brokers, among whom one 'Cy Phillips was conspicuous. "Under these conditions Phillips was approached one day by an individual, with 'hayseed' written all over him, from his flapping straw hat to his tattered cowhide boots, who stated that he had an Indian, as sound as second-growth hickory, whom, for pressing and plausible reasons, he was willing to dispose of for the small sum of $400, cash on the nail. "Where is he?" eagerly inquired Phillips, whose cupidity was blindly stimulated by the fact that substitutes were in extraordinary demand, prices 'way up and soaring and competition redhot. "I've got him locked up in a barn down on Canal street, an' here's the key,' explained the rural dickerer. "This apparently innocent and gincre assurance was accepted by Phil- lips, who paid over the amount demanded and hastened to take possession of his aboriginal gold mine. In opening the barn door he was startled to find himself confronted in the dim light by a huge, ferocious savage, holding a tomahawk in his uplifted hand. "Here, now, no nonsense," cried Phillips, as he fell back. I've bought you and paid for you, and neither a dollar nor a drink do you get unless you behave yourself." "But the big Indian stolidly and silently retained his threatening attitude; nor could be do otherwise, for as Phillips pulled himself together and his eyes became accustomed to the gloom he discovered that he was the unhappy purchaser of a wooden cigar store chief, and one undoubtedly as sound as warranted." Would Lee Have Won? No battle of any war more forcibly than Gettysburg illustrates the truth that officers at a distance from the field cannot, with any wisdom, attempt to control the movements of troops actively engaged, says Gen. John B. Gordon in Scribner's. On the first day neither Gen. Early nor Gen. Ewell could possibly have been fully cognizant of the situation at the time I was ordered to halt. The whole of that portion of the Union army in my front was in inextricable confusion and in flight. They were necessarily in flight, for my troops were upon the flank and rapidly sweeping down the lines. The firing upon my men had almost ceased. Large bodies of the Union troops were throwing down their arms and surrendering, because in disorganized and confused masses they were wholly powerless either to check the movement or return the fire. As far down the lines as my eye could reach the Union troops were in retreat. Those at a distance were still resisting, but giving ground, and it was only necessary for me to press forward in order to insure the same results, which invariably follow such flank movements. In less than one-half hour my troops would have swept up and over those hills, the possession of which was of such momentous consequences. It is not surprising with a full realization of the consequences of a halt, that I should have refused at first to obey the order. Not until the third or fourth order of the most peremptory character reached me did I obey. I think I should have risked the consequences of disobedience even then, but for the fact that the order to halt was accompanied with the explanation that Gen. Lee, who was several miles away, did not wish to give battle at Gettysburg. It is stated on good authority, that Gen. Lee said, some time before his death, that if Jackson had been there he would have won in this battle a great and possibly decisive victory. I cannot vouch for the truth of this statement, as I did not hear it, but no soldier in a great crisis ever wished more ardently for a deliverer's hand than I wished for one hour of Jackson, when I was ordered to halt. A Company of Fiddlers. During the summer of 1861, our regiment, the Thirteenth Missouri Infantry, was organized at and near St. Joseph, Mo. Company F, an organized company of country boys, marched into camp one warm afternoon. The roll was called, and we believe that in the history of our war that company was exceptional in at least two respects. We have had competition for the honor of being the oldest, the youngest, the first, the tallest, the shortest and the longest in service soldier. We have read disputes about company and regimental organizations, but the honor we claim for this company is that there were seventeen men of one name, Baker, all of one family, all young country lads, and that every one of these Bakers could play the fiddle. They had marched from their home county through some rather unfriendly neighborhoods, and towns notoriously disloyal, with no side arms but violins. Within an hour after their arrival these violins were at work, and during our stay in that camp, and until the louder and shriller music of the rifle and cannon were substituted there was not an hour of the day, between reveille and tattoo, that these fiddles were not going in the hands of the Baker family. We enter Company F. Thirteenth Missouri Infantry for competition. Who can beat their record, in number of one name and one profession? It was fun to hear that orderly call the roll from Baker one to Baker seventeen. Next!—Doc.

Se FATHER OF RUBLEE COLE PASSES AWAY AT SHEBOYGAN FALLS. | Was a Prominent Figure in History of Wisconsin, an Early- Settler and Democratic Delegate. | Sheboygan Falls, Wis., Sept. 23,— [Special.]—George Cole, father of Rub- lee A. Cole of Milwaukee, died last night after a long sickness. George T. Cole was born in Cieveland, O., in October, 1832, and was the oldest son of Charles D. Cole, who settled in Sheboygan, Wis., in April, 1836. For many years the life of George T. Cole, the oldest son, was wrapped up in that of his father. The firm of C. D, Cole & Co. was dependent upon sailing vessels for the transportation of its supplies and in the autumn of 1836 their vessel encoun- tered a storm on Lake Michigan and was driven to Chicago with the winter's sup- ply of provisions and clothing. It was too late in the season to make the return trip. Provisions in Sheboygan ran short, and in December the stock on hand was divided among the inhabitants. Charles D, Cole started with a yoke of oxen and a sled for Milwaukee after supplies. Here he purchased groceries and provisions of Solomon Juneau and started out on the return trip. One night while he was camping out ‘the oxen broke loose and ate up a large portion of the supplies, and one of them died. With the depleted supplies the remaining ox was able to transport the load to She- boygan. He went to Beloit college, but he re- mained there only a short time. He be- came actively associated with his father in business ou leaving the college. After his father's death he was engaged with William Longfellow in logging opera- tions at Sheboygan Falls, and much of the pine timber in Sheboygan and Mani- towoe counties was logged by this firm. Mr. Cole was niarried in 1855 to Eme- line J. Rublee, a sister of the late Horace Rublee. Mrs. Cole is still living at She- boygan Falls. The living children of this marriage are Rublee A. Cole of Milwaukee and Miss Jessie M. Cole of Sheboygan Falls. George T. Cole was for many years an active Democrat in Sheboygan coun-| ty, and in the campaign of 1876 was a diligent supporter of Samuel J. Tilden. He was repeatedly a delegate to Demo- «ratie state conventions. Unfortunate Menasha Boy Sufiers Through Friend’s Mistake—Car- bolic No Cure for Neuralgia.

The most valuable knife in the world is to be seen in the collection of a famous firm of cuttlers in Sheffield. Lt is large enough to fit the pocket of none but a giant and contains seventy-five blades, which close like those of an or- dinary knife. Each of the larger blades is elaborately engraved and among the subjects of these strange pictures are views of Sheffield college, the city of York, Windsor castle, Arundel castle and n score of other fanious scenes. The hafts are of mother of perl, carved with great skill. On one side the artist has depicted a stag hunt and on the other a boar hunt. When asked as to the yalue of this knife, the firm replied: “Well, we caleulated it up to £920, but that was before it was finished, and then we ceased to estimate what it had cost."—London Answers.

DOUCLAS Presents Fine Specimen to New York| $3 50 % $3 GHOES ihe | ‘The collection of rare palms on exhibi- tion in the central and main building of the conservatory range in the New York Botanical garden was enriched last week by Miss Helen Gould, who presented to the garden five large palms from her con- servatories in Irvington. This is the Calamus asperrimus, one of the rattan ‘palms, which ix also one of the com- paratively few of the species of the ae habit. The specimen at the garden has sihendy attained a height of some 25 feet, and bears leaves from 4 to 6 feet in length. In its native haunts ‘it clings to the trunks of the rougher- barked or softer wooded trees, but in ‘the garden it will be trained to a stake. Another specimen is of the leaning date palm, native to southeast Africa. It is remarkable for the length and graceful curving of its drooping leaves. A com- panion plant is like it in sopeeten but is native to western ee Africa. The fourth is a tall palm, rising to a height of 25 feet or more ,and crowned with a broad spreading cluster of leaves. It is the golden fruited palm, so named from the color of its large clusters of small fruits. It is a native of Madagascar. The fifth is a specimen of the Alexan- dra’s feather palm. Its tall, smooth trunk has attained a height of some 18 feet, and its crest of many long, finely cut leaves makes it several feet higher, and presents a broad area of deep green foliage. It is a native of Australia.— New York Times. ~—In_the_city of New York there are only 737,477 white persons born of na- tive parents. ‘ ge teagan A bottle of Brnder’s “Botanical” Zen- tah Balsam is better than a doctor in the house.

Fate, Tex., Sept. 21.—Texas has sel- dom, if-ever, had such a profound sen- sation as that caused by the introduc: tion recently of a new remedy for Kxid- ney diseases. ‘This remedy has already been tried in thousands of cases, and in almost every case the results have been wonderful. Henry Vaughan, of Rural Route, No. 3, Fate, says of it: “I suffered with Kidney Trouble for over 18 months. I was very bad and could get nothing to help me till I heard of the new remedy, Dodd's Kid- ney Pills. I began to use these pills, and very soon found myself improving. I kept on and now I can say I am ab- solutely cured and free from any symp- tom of my old trouble. 7 “J am very glad I heard of this won- derful remedy and I would strongly advise anyone suffering with Kidney trouble to try it, for I know it will cure.” <> A Toke. “Bloodmarks!” Is the title of the latest boys’ paper, which promises to be selling on the streets today. It is full of the most bloodeurdling stories and the most horrifying illustrations, and it is printed entirely in red. On a closer inspection we suspect a joke. The woodcuts are a little ont of date and—here is a por- trait of the late Mr. ouppeen labeled “The German Emperor.” “The Parents’ Page” strengthens our conviction and the sketches of Herees in Humble Life con- firm it. “Sir George Newnes, the creator of popular literature in this country, was once unable to read. Having taught hingelf the alphabet with a little assist- ance from those about him, he made up his mind to conduct ‘Tit-Bits.” He ave np his money till he was able to buy a pair of seissors and a smail pot of gum, and is now a milHonarie.” Yes, this is assuredly a joke.—London Chronicle. Tried by Time. Eugene E. Lario, of 451 Twentieth avenue, ticket seller in the Union Sta- tion, Denver, Colo., says: “You are at liberty to re- peat what [ first stated through our Denver pa- pers about Dean's Kidney Pills in the summer of 1899, for I have had no reason in the interim to change my opinion of the remedy. 1 said when first interviewed that if I bad a friend and ac- quaintance suffering from backache or kidney trou- ble I would unhesitating- an cee a 2} ly advise them to take Doan’s Kidney Pills. I was subject to severe attacks of backache, always aggravated if 1 sat long at a desk. It struck me that if Doan’s Kidney Fills performed halt what they promised they might at least help. This induced me to try the remedy. Tt absolutely stopped the backache.

Plain Statements of Great Truths Made by the People. | Great truths are always sensed and erudely expressed first by the common people, Why should one ever say, “No mat- ter?’ At first blush there seems to be no relevancy whatever between the idea to be expressed and the phrase used. But chemistry, the court of last resort, has demonstrated that so-called matter is “no matter,” but simply a phenomenon or manifestation of energy. Is it any won- der that “no matter” has been a common expression for years? “Catch on” is quite a popular and “catchy” slang phrase, but t think it must have been borrowed from the cul- tured Emerson, for you remember he commanded you to “hitch your wagon to a star,” and there is really no difference between “eatch on” and “hitch on.” The slang phrase “we are in it” has neen the catch word for some time, as well as “we are up against the real thing.” Of course, we are in, and up against the universal substance all the time, for “in it we live and move and have our being.” Surely it is the real thing, for it is the only substance known. ‘There is nothing else to be in or against. It is the “real thing.” “You are not the only pebble on the beach” is a shang phrase that clearly | foretells the coming age of the concept of the unity of being—or co-operation in- stead of individualism. In fact, the ex- | Dression is a direct and loud protest against selfishness and vanity, and fre- ‘quently has a greater and better effect than a sermon. “Out of sight” or “way up in G" re- fers to the real spiritual man-a higher note or vibration than the ordinary or material plane of operation. — Spiritual ‘intelligences are “out of sight’ to most | people, or to all who are not clairvoyants. “The whole show,” or “he (or she) is the whole show” is clearly seen to be a truth to those who really understand that man is the plone of the universe— a microcosm of the macrocosm—and that the kingdom of heaven, or harmony, is really within his possibilities, conceptions and -operations. . “He is a crank” expresses a great truth. A erank is the part of a machine that turns or moves the machinery, and the personal crank is the fellow that helps move the world. It is an honor to be called a “erank.”—Indianapolis Jour- pal of Biochemistry. The Queen’s Teapot. Queen Alexandra has a favorite tea- pot which is often in use when the Queen is at Sandringham.

The information which is attainable re- garding the dirigible balloons which are to compete at the coming St. Louis World's fair, makes it evident that there will be a great Merease of power over ad echings that have previously been ested. This increase will introduce some prob- lems of strength and resistance which the builders are liable to overlook. So long as motors ranged from 6 or 8 to 20- horse power, the speed of the balloon was necessarily so low that the question of head resistance did not enter serious- ly into the problem; but with the intro- duction of more powerful engines and higher speeds, builders will do well to make provision against distortion of the front end of the cigar-shaped balloon, either by transverse buckling, or by the whole head being forced back and flat- tened upon the balloon itself, Moreover, should the cigar-shaped structure be suc- denly deflected from its course when at high speed, the transverse strains would be so serious as to require especial pro- Vision of longitudinal strength in tae body of the balioon. Just how to provide this strength in the sili and netcovered envelope is a question which is certain to occupy the attention of aeronauts very closely in the immediate future. We “are aware that at present dependence is placed upon the longitudinal stiffuess of the car or operating platform, which is usually built of a triangular’ cross-sec- tion, with 9 view to its affording, ‘through the supporting stays and guy ropes, the necessary stiffness. Count von Zeppelin was working along the proper lines when he constructed the balloon entirely of metal, but like Brunel with the “Great Eastern” he was many years ahead of the art. His machine was al- together too large for the limited power that it carried. Nevertheless the indica- tions are that if the dirigible balldon is to be the type of airship of the future, some form of light but strong metal shell, provided with internal trussing, will have to be secises in place of the present silk fabric. Such a balloon, built of the proper form and strength, in con- junction with a motor that weighed not over a pound to the horse power, would go far to make the dirigible balloon a Practical and useful invention. But even when that time is reached, if it ever is, the perfected balloon will not be com- parable in its speed or efficiency to a perfected airship of the aeroplane type, for the latter is Nature’s own method of flight, and it has every scientific consid- eration to speak in its favor.—Scientitic American.

MILWAUKEE, WIS. AGRICULTURAL ```markdown ``` Hungarian Millet. In sections where the hay crop is short, one of the best and quickest catch crops is Hungarian millet. The seed is comparatively cheap, ranging from $2 to $2.25 a bushel, and the crop does well on any good soil. In many localities farmers make a good business of sowing Hungarian millet for a hay crop on any ground from which a crop can be taken by the middle of August. If the crop was a cultivated one, but little preparation of the soil is necessary. Shallow plowing and a thorough harrowing will probably be sufficient in most cases. It is generally considered that this millet crop is worth all it costs to get it, and it is particularly valuable for cattle, or the grain may be saved and fed to poultry during the winter. One of the most ```markdown ``` successful poultrymen in the country has millet as a part of his winter ration for the laying hens, sowing it on the ground from which early potatoes have been harvested.

In a bulletin issued by the Canadian Department of Agriculture, giving much valuable information for the benefit of Dominion poultry men, the following description and accompanying illustration of warm roosting quarters for winter are worthy of special attention: The burlap curtain, which can be lowered in front of the fowls at night, should be tacked to a light wood frame Burlap Covered Frame ROOST DROP BUARD NESTS and hinged to the roof of the house directly above the front edge of the drop board. This burlap-covered frame should extend across the pen and should fall an inch or so below the drop board. When not required in front of the fowls the frame should be hooked to the roof of the house. This frame when lowered, together with the board sides of the roosting quarters, form the warm roosting pen. The fowls will generate sufficient heat to keep themselves comfortable during a cold night. Tonic for Swine. The following is a favorite mixture among some of the large hog-raisers of the central West. It is thought to aid digestion, assist bone-building and help expel bowel worms. It comprises charcoal, one and one-half bushels, common salt, four pounds, hardwood ashes, ten pounds, slacked lime, four pounds. To be kept in a box where the hogs can eat what they need. Oats in Place of Wheat. There are many localities in which it does not pay to grow winter wheat. Possibly because of the low price in some sections, or for other good reasons. If winter oats will succeed they may frequently be grown with profit, for the market price is generally good. There are many advantages in growing winter oats, particularly in warm localities, for the season of growth is during the cool portion of the fall and spring, so that they fill well, while the spring-sown oats succumb to the warm summers. In growing winter oats the seeding should be done early in September and on good soil. It is true that oats will do well on less fertilizing than wheat, but, on the other hand, they pay well for good fertilizing. By sowing at the time specified they will get a good start and cover the ground sufficient to protect the roots during the winter. In the spring they may be late in starting up, but they will come unless the winter has been sufficiently severe to kill them out completely. The plan is well worth trying, at least on a small area. Varieties of Winter Wheat. Three varieties of winter wheat were distributed throughout Ontario in the autumn of 1902 for co-operative experiments. Good reports of successfully conducted experiments have been received this year from eighteen counties, extending from Essex in the south to Haliburton in the north. The following is the average yield in weighed bushels of grain per acre for each variety for five years at the college, and for 1903 throughout Ontario: Imperial Amber, 24.9 bushels; Buda Pesth, 21.4 bushels; Turkey Red, 20.7 bushels. All three varieties are bearded. The chaff of the Imperial Amber is red, and that of the others is white. The grain of each variety is red, hard and recommended for the production of flour of good quality. All three varieties are rather weak in the straw. The Imperial Amber is a close rival to the Dawson's Golden Chaff in yield of grain per acre. The variety last named seems most productive of all, but the grain is soft. Grass for Roadsides. Orchard grass is a stayer. A rough weedy roadside in New York State was grubbed over, plowed in spring, plowed and harrowed several times in summer until mellow and fine. Orchard grass was sown thickly in the fall. That was fifteen years ago and the orchard grass still holds the fort, keeping out nearly all foul growth and giving two cuttings a year. Shade does not injure it much. No other choice hay grasses can hold their own like this variety. Farm Notes. Every farm should have a separate building where sick animals can receive special care and attention. A real live farmer does not keep from making mistakes, but he does not keep on making the same mistake. On thin land deep cultivation will have a tendency to shorten the yield. On deep, rich, loamy soil the cultivation may be deeper. Potatoes should never be marketed unless assorted. Uniformity of size and appearance will benefit both the buyer and the seller. It is the small potatoes that injure sales and return low prices. Pigeons will thrive on a variety, grains and grass seeds of all kinds being suitable, hemp and rape seeds being also acceptable. A salted fish should hang where the birds can have access thereto, and ground oyster shells, gravel, pure water, etc., should be provided if they are confined. If you want something choice for yourself and not for market grow the Emerald Gem muskmelon and the Kleckley watermelon. There are other good varieties, used mostly on account of their excellent shipping qualities, but no varieties can compare with those mentioned for home use, as they excel all others in quality. This nation is increasing in population faster than it is in meat production. In the fifty years from 1850 to 1900 the population increased 3.28 times. Beef cattle increased 2.95; dairy cattle, 2.68; swine, 2.07; sheep, 1.83. Considering these figures in connection with our enormous exports it does not look like the business is going to be overdone in the next fifty years. Just what it will be then can be only a matter of conjecture. When you go into a seed store to buy grass seed, examine it carefully, preferably with a magnifying glass, on a sheet of white paper. If you discover in it, instead of timothy, the seeds of the white and yellow daisy, plantains, yellow dock, peppergrass, thistle, pigweed or wild carrots, or instead of clover, seeds of the plantain, swamp weed, wax weed, chicory, or sorrel, better let it alone. If such seed were given you it would be poor policy to take it. TEMPERANCE TALKS. THE RUM TRAFFIC SHOULD BE SUPPRESSED. Dangers that Always Lurk in the Flowing Bowl-How Bright and Influential Men Have Been Dragged Down by the Demon Drink. The "steady drinker" in France, it seems plain, is bringing on himself and on his nation the inevitable ruin that comes from too steadily used and too much used alcoholic "food." It is a "far cry" from the use by physicians of alcohol temporarily and when wise, to the folly and sin of its use by the "steady drinker." In time he gets very unsteady. Witness France! Since 1874 no special license has been required for selling liquor, and the number in the trade has doubled. The elections depend upon the liquor dealers. A union of dealers entered suit in the courts against the prefect of the Seine for an antialcoholic placard. The liquor unions get up placards on their side rehearsing the merits of alcohol as a food, as proved by American scientists. In Normandy the baby is given alcohol at the christening, and thenceforth "to kill worms." When the worms no longer serve as an excuse, the drinking goes on all the harder. In the department of the Eure the adult citizen consumes 96 liters of brandy (50 degrees alcohol) a year, that is, about 10 drinks a day. There is one liquor dealer to every 23 people. A wellpaid workingman was found to spend 84 cents for drink and 22 for food. Before 1870 an equal population of the Eure consumed 20,000 hectoliters of drinkable alcohol; in 1880 the amount was 30,000; in 1890, 56,000. Per head of population, the average consumption has mounted from seven to 16 liters—alcohol at 100 degrees. In the last century the average mortality of France fell from 25 to 23 per 1,000 inhabitants; in the Eure it has risen from 22 to 26. Fifty years ago there were 12 suicides to the 100,000 inhabitants in that country province; now there are 46, as against 22 for the rest of France. In other ways the progress—downward—is still more headlong. In 1890 there were 40 lunatics in the asylum of Evreux; in 1898, without any change of system, there were 200.—American Medicine. A Lesson from London Streets. A Lesson from London Streets. At the corner of the street there is a public-house; and, if we watch that swinging door for a moment, we shall be able to realize why it is that in England there are more drunken women than in any other nation, and how it is that the brewers have made larger fortunes than can be amassed at any other trade. Between the hours of one and three o'clock you will see in this squalid district from one hundred to two hundred women enter the drink shop with little babies in their arms; and, as these women crowd into that public-house and stand to drink they will often give the baby a share of the liquor, and the little mouth will greedily suck the spoon or the glass that has in it the taste of gin. Between those hours, too, you will see a hundred and fifty or two hundred girls, with tattered clothes, torn pinafores, some almost shoeless, all ragged, all dirty, all disheveled, entering with jugs to carry away the drink to their miserable homes. As many boys under the age of fourteen or fifteen will be there, too, making perhaps a total in one afternoon of five hundred children. I remember on one occasion standing in front of just such a public-house (and if you look down the street, you will see that there are twenty more), with an American, and when she saw the women going into the public-house, some of them respectably clad, she said, "Are they going to hold a Crusade meeting there, as they did in America twenty years ago?" It seemed to her inconceivable that women were going there to drink; but to us it has become a commonplace, and those who know anything of the social life of the people in England have long realized that children are drunk for the first time in their mother's arms, or cursed with the appetite before they are born. In their earliest association the public-house stands as the most prominent factor in their existence, and has stored their minds with the impressions of everything that is vile and bad.—Lady Somerset, in North American Review. Another Martyr to Temperance. Another Martyr to Temperance. The activity of one Barney Brown, of Polk County, Florida, in enforcing the law against illegal rum-selling in that county, angered a rum seller, Amos Randle. Randle was a white man. He hired Dan Kennedy and Henry Golder to kill Brown, the despised prohibitionist. On Monday, May 18, while Mr. Brown was going home from a meeting, he was shot and then his throat cut. This occurred at Mulberry. The people discovered the plot and had the three men arrested, and when one of the negroes confessed the three men were taken from jail and lynnched, their bodies being filled with bullets. Mr. Brown was a highly respected citizen, and his death is deplored. Influence of Temptation. If you will cut off the supply of temptation it will be bound by the help of God to convert drunkards; but until you have taken off this perpetual supply of intoxicating drink, you never can cultivate the fields. You have submerged them, and if ever we reclaim one portion, you immediately begin to build upon it a gin palace or some temptation to drink. Let the legislature do its part, and we will answer for the rest.—Cardinal Manning. Packing House & Freezers, Foot of N.
