"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. NEW EMPIRE FOR BLACKS "Emperor of the Sahara"—M. Lebaudy Plans Refuge for Negroes of America in Africa. London, Oct. 6.—The secret of M. Lebaudy's attempt to found an empire in Africa is out. The Daily Mail today asserts that the young French millionaire, who is now in London on business, desires first to obtain the consent of the European powers who claim to have influence over the territory on which he has designs, to establish along the northwest coast of Africa an empire larger than Rhodesia, to be entitled the United States of Liberia. Here, it is alleged, he proposes to found a state peopleled by Negroes from America, especially from the southern states, who would receive grants of land and be encouraged to found a country of their own. If M. Lebaudy obtains all the territory he desires he will have a country rich in minerals, India rubber and coffee We have wondered for the last few weeks why so many so-called Africans have been visiting this country, and especially this state. It will take a long time for the young French millionaire to obtain the consent of the European powers to found a state in the northwestern part equal to Rhodesia, to be entitled the United States of Liberia. In the first place the consent of the British government must be obtained, and in the second place, despite Bishop Turner's desperate and determined efforts to accomplish the purpose for which he is evidently well paid A Good Advice.

BOOKER CON- DEMNED AT HOME. Any good thinking or well-bred person ought to know that no teacher or principal is responsible for their pupils when they are out of school—out from under their jurisdiction, entirely. Truly, there are doses given patients that are properly prescribed, yet it does not reach the patients' complaint—the system of the patient is sometimes too weak. Why hold Mr. Washington and his school (people's school) responsible for some of his students or its students for committing crimes or being charged of the same? Should you expect more of Tuskegee institute than you do of any other school in the Union? Trace the history of other schools as well—consider the time Tuskegee has been in existence, and you will see that it far surpasses any other school of its kind in the country. Give the Negro industrial training and he will be of service to his people and the country as well. We say to Mr. Washington, go on with your great and good work. all good thinking people, both white and colored, know the results of your great efforts. The man who is always making an attack on an institute has not the interest of the race at heart, but is looking for some "pie" down the road somewhere and is "too lazy to work for it," or "wait until his change comes." The intelligent people are with you. Mr. Washington--Pine Bluff Herald. We are quite at one with the Pine Bluff Herald in regard to its trenchant remarks on the Boston Guardian's criticism of the Presbyterians of Philadelphia. As the policy and principle of this paper has been in the past, so shall it always be; and that is to stand up for the right; and that is in our opinion along the lines which Booker T. Washington has so well laid down.-Ed. Advocate. TO INCREASE MEMORIAL FUND. Friends of Colored Hero Take Up the Work. John J. Miles, head waiter at the Plankinton house, and W. T. Green, the well known colored attorney of Milwaukee, have taken hold of the work of raising additional subscriptions for the monument proposed for Lawson Hancock, the colored city employee who lost his life in an effort to save the lives of two white men. Public volunteer subscription has given birth to a fund which totals $94. It is the desire of the gentlemen named to see this amount considerably augmented. The Journal, which has been receiving voluntary subscriptions, will continue for some days to accept amounts offered for the monument, which is a merited recognition of a worthy deed. Hancock's act should in some manner be commemorated. It was a credit to the city. About Milwaukee there are graves, well marked, of numerous heroes, but few of the heroes of peace. Hancock was one of that kind. At the opening of the New York public schools it was found that owing to strikes in the new buildings 65,000 children would be without accommodations. CREAM CITY NOTES.

Mr. Herrin held his hearers spellbound by his lucid exposition of the text. The gospel pure and simple was preached, and no reference made to former differences and difficulties. In the evening holy communion was dispensed after an experience meeting. The congregation was much strengthened by their experiences of the day. ```markdown ``` Rev. J. J.

Recently we tried to fill a position of that kind for our friend, Mrs. John L. Slaughter, but could not persuade the parties we approached to take such an easy place as Mrs. Slaughter offers to her help. They evidently preferred something more stirring. However, we are glad to know that Mrs. Slaughter has secured Mrs. O'Neal, who we hope will fill the requirements, and we are aware that she will have a comfortable situation and home. * * * Mr. Hollister of Madison and Messrs. Ellis and Campbell of the Milwaukee Journal, who have interested themselves in the proposed erection of a monument to the late Lawson Hancock, have appointed Attorney W. T. Green and Mr. J. J.

We trust there will be a liberal response to this movement by the members of the Negro race in Milwaukee and Wisconsin generally. * * * The staff of The Advocate have been receiving numerous compliments from friends and outsiders on the stand which that paper has taken recently in church matters, both as regards the colored and other churches. A certain pastor was warned two weeks ago that a persistence in his methods of carping on personal grievances would meet with the condemnation of this paper. We do not wish now to give that condemnation too heavily, and therefore are silent on the matter. * * * One of the most interesting exchanges on the editorial table is the Tuskegee Student, a newsy and breezy little paper got up from editorial work to the printing and mailing entirely by the scholars of that institute.

Caribou Returning to Maine. It's good news for the sportsmen that C. C. Garland, managing director of the Debsconeag Fish and Game club, brings to town, for he says that deer and moose, throughout the great game country, are to be seen in even gerater abundance than last year. He also says that caribou have been seen much more frequently than heretofore, and he takes this as an indication that these animals are again coming into Maine. "Everyone I've seen says that game is very plentiful," said Mr. Garland to a Commercial reporter Wednesday forenoon, "and so far as my section of the country is concerned, I can testify that both deer and moose are to be seen in greater numbers than a year ago. We've seen an occasional caribou, too, and it looks as if these animals are coming back to Maine after having deserted us for the wilds of Canada. The other day we ran across a curiosity while ascending Katahdin. It was a black caribou—just as black as my hat. We found tracks which showed that caribou have been haunting Katahdin during the summer."—Pangor (Me.) Commercial. Unalterable Aversion.

Priests Urge People to Lay Aside Doubts for the Security of the Ancient Faith. The Paulist Fathers' mission for non-Catholics began Sunday morning at St. John's Cathedral with high mass, celebrated at 10:30 by the very Rev. J. J. Keegh, assisted by the Revs. M. Daily and John B. Harney, C. E. P. The Rev. Bertrand L. Conway, C. B. P., delivered the opening lecture of the two weeks' series on the apostolate to non-Catholics, and explained the purposes and meaning of the mission. "Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, loves to call himself the good shepherd," he said in part. "The whole world is His pasture land; all men His sheep and the kingdom which He created on earth the Catholic church, the sheepfold. "Hundreds of millions of souls are within the enclosure, safe and secure from the wolf. But the heart of the Good Shepherd beats with apprehension when he thinks of the countless millions who have strayed far from the sound of his voice, who feed on barren pastures and lie down at night in strange folds. "The love of the Catholic church is the same as the love of Jesus Christ, her founder. She loves all men without exception. She offers all the doctrines and commandments of her masters, as the only intellectual and moral satisfaction for the naturally Christian heart of man. "Some will tell you the American people are a money-loving people without deep religious earnestness, with no love for things religious—worshipers of the almighty dollar only, and devoid of high ideals. At least some foreigners have written thus of us at the end of a two or three weeks' visit! These missions to non-Catholics give such the lie direct. Everywhere the people have shown their willingness and anxiety to listen to us. They will go anywhere—the town or city hall, the school room or the Catholic church itself; they will drive miles in all sorts of weather under stress of many obstacles to hear the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ. "They want certainty for uncertainty; dogma, not opinion; a solid conviction of pardon and not an indefinite feeling." This discourse produced a profound effect on those who were privileged to listen to it. In the evening Father Herney preached on "Christ, the Son of God." He said in part: "The divinity of Christ is a question of deep and thrilling importance to everyone. Eternal results depend upon the answer we give to it. To us, as Catholics, Christ is God. In Him there are two natures wonderfully and inseparably united—the divine and the human—each in its own fullness and perfection. Although joined, these two natures are not blended; they both remain distinct, each retaining its own proper character and qualities. He was and is true God and true man; God from all eternity, knowing all things, able to do all things; a man from the time of His conception by the Virgin Mary, and, as man, subject to many infirmities. This then, is the belief of the Catholic church, that Jesus Christ is the second person of the blessed Trinity, true God and true man." These lectures are being continued nightly except Saturdays, and a special feature is a question box from which queries and objections will be answered. What We Are Coming To. The world is certainly advancing rapidly and even "the old, old story" is retold in the Twentieth century with up-to-date accompaniments. A lady of my acquaintance keeps a good-looking maid who has hitherto been remarkably punctual in returning at the appointed time on her "evening out." A day or two ago, however, she came back a quarter of an hour late. My friend, who is something of a martinet, rang for the truant, and had just arranged the heads of an impressive moral lecture when Alice promptly surrendered at discretion. "Please 'm," she explained, "I'm very sorry I was late; but my young man 'e' as a funnigraph, an' 'e was takin' a record 'o' me voice to keep by 'im the rest o' the week." The lecture was not delivered and I have no doubt the sentimental mistress, looking back upon her own lost opportunities, envied the new generation the possibilities invention has thrown in its way like pearls before—people who cannot appreciate them.—London Tatler. No' Possible In a letter to a contemporary Mr. Cunningham-Graham tells this story: An Englishman and a Scot were traveling by the train. The southern Saxon remarked that no north Briton ever understood a joke. "You might," he said, "fire a joke out of a cannon, and still the Scot would never take it up." The Scotchman, after musing on the case, rejoined: "Man, but ye canna fire a joke out of a cannon."—Scottish American. NUMBER 49. George C. Fuller, Who Has Been Doing Some Tall Work on the Eastern Turf. George C. Fuller, a clever little western jockey, who has been doing some tall work on the eastern turf this season, and who climbs up to stellar position. PROBLEM OF DOMESTIC SERVICE. Paucity of Material Is Revealed and Mistresses are Helbless. A review of the history of domestic service in a fairly prosperous American family begins with the colonial period, when the daughters of the neighboring farmers came in to "help" during the busy season. This was followed by the Irish immigrant, when almost every kitchen had its Nora or Bridget, while the mistress of the household retained the sweeping and dusting and the Saturday baking. Then came the halcyon days of German "second girls" and cooks, followed by the Swedes, the successive waves of immigration supplying the demand for domestic service, and gradually obliterating the fact that as the women became more familiar with American customs they, as well as their men folk, entered into more skilled and lucrative positions. In these last years immigration is heaviest from south Italy, and later consists in ever increasing numbers of Russian, Polish and Roumanian Jews, none of whom have to any appreciable extent entered into domestic service. The Italian girls are married between the ages of 15 and 18, and to live in any house in town other than that of her father, seems to any Italian girl quite incomprehensible. The strength of the family tie, the need for "kosher" foods, the celebration of religious festivities, the readiness with which she takes up the sewing trades in which her father and brother are already largely engaged, makes domestic service a rare occupation for the daughters of the recent Jewish immigrants. Moreover, these two classes of immigrants have been quickly absorbed, as indeed all working people are, by the increasing demand for the labor of young girls and children in factory and workshops. The paucity of the material for domestic service is therefore revealed at last and manifests itself in two directions—"unreasonable demands" on the part of those who remain, and the negative result of the lack of supply. The issue is chiefly made clear by the "non-resistant" method, as it were, or to speak more accurately, by the "non-appearance" method. Perhaps it is the prevalence of this method which accounts for the exasperation to be detected in the situation. The well-known Swedish formula, "I think I leave today," is quite as inexplicable as it is final, and its very simplicity makes it hard to bear. Warfare Becoming Harder. Smokeless powder, machine guns and quick-firing rifles tend to make the attacking of small states by powerful ones more and more impossible. Successful attacks on countries like France, Germany, England or the United States are now quite out of the question. Formerly, it was considered sufficient if the attacking party outnumbered their opponents by two or three to one. In South Africa it was demonstrated that the proportion must be more than ten to one. Bounty on Sugar. In the interest of making Australia "a white man's country" a government bounty is paid for sugar grown by white labor. Of the last year's sugar crop of 100,000 tons, seven-tenths was furnished by Kanaka black labor. Chamberlain Proposes to Impose Tax on Food. Wheat and Beef to Pay Duty, but Not Corn and Pork; Tea and Sugar to Be Cheaper. Glasgow, Oct. 7.—Joseph Chamberlain for the first time last night put in words and figures his plan for a preferential tariff system. He proposes: First—A tax of 2 shillings (48 cents) a quarter on foreign wheat, but none on wheat from British possessions. No tax on corn (maize), but a tax on flour. Second—A tax of 5 per cent. on foreign meat and dairy produce, but no tax on bacon. Third—A substantial preference to the colonies on wines and fruits. Fourth—A tax of 10 per cent. on imports of manufactured goods. Fifth - reduction of three-quarters of the duty on tea, and half the duty on sugar, with corresponding reductions upon cocoa and coffee. No Tax on Raw Material In explaining his tariff plan Mr. Chamberlain said he wished to repeat explicitly that he did not wish to tax raw materials used in British manufactures. It was evident that if they wanted to prevent separation there must be a preferential tax on food. That was the great cry of his opponents, and it was true, but it was only half the truth, because those opponents forgot to add his explanation that nothing he proposed would add one farthing to the cost of living of any working-man or of any family in the country. With regard to his plan he would state briefly. He proposed to put a low duty, not exceeding 2 shillings (48 cents) a quarter on foreign wheat, but none on wheat from the British possessions. He proposed no tax on corn, partly because it formed the food of some of the poorest among the population and partly because it was raw material as feeding stuff. Why He Taxes Flour. He proposed a corresponding tax on flour, and he would give special preference to the miller with the object of reestablishing one of our ancient industries and of preventing a rush from the country to the town, and also of placing corn, offal and feeding stuffs more cheaply within the possession of the farmer. A small tax of about 5 per cent. on foreign meat and dairy produce would be imposed, excluding bacon, which was the food of so many of the poorest population. Lastly, he proposed to give a substantial preference to the colonies on wines and fruits. Against these increases he proposed some great remissions. He proposed to take off three-quarters of the duty on tea, half the duty on sugar, with corresponding reductions upon cocoa and coffee. The net result of these impositions and remissions would be that the town artisan's food would, according to the most elaborate calculations, cost him 2 pence half penny (5 cents) less per week than it did at present, while that of the agricultural laborer would cost him 2 pence (4 cents) less, but if, as he believed, a great part of the tax on food would be paid by the foreigner, there would be a greater reduction in the cost of food, both for the artisan and the agricultural laborer. Effect on the Budget. The loss to the exchequer he estimated at £2,800,000 ($14,000,000), but that and more he proposed to find in another branch of the policy of fiscal reform, which was sometimes called retaliation and sometimes reciprocity. He hoped for one thing that the other countries would reduce their duties so that worse things might not come upon them, but he thought that Great Britain would also have to raise hers. A moderate duty of 10 per cent, on manufactured goods, varying according to the amount of labor in them, would give to the exchequer £9,000,000 ($45,000,000) a year, and if he were chancellor of the exchequer he would make use of that sum for the remission of taxation. The question was, what would the colonies say? He believed they would treat generously any offer Great Britain might make. Mr. Chamberlain concluded: It is because I sympathize with their object and appreciate the generosity of their offer, it is for these things and for no personal ambition that I have given up the office I was so proud to hold and that now when I might, I think, fairly claim a period of rest, I have taken up new burdens and come before you as a missionary of the empire to urge upon you again, as in old times when I protested against a disruption of the United Kingdom, once again to warn you, to urge you, to implore you to do nothing that will tend towards the disintegration of the empire, not to refuse to sacrifice futile superstition and inept prejudice and thereby to lose the result of centuries of noble effort and patriotic endeavor. The foregoing is the concluding part of Mr. Chamberlain's speech in opening his campaign against free trade. He addressed an audience of 6000 persons in St. Andrew's hall for nearly an hour before he explained his tariff programme as above. Will Examine Chamberlain's Plan. London, Oct. 7.—While there is no evidence of a rush on the part of the exponents of public opinion or of the electorate to give Joseph Chamberlain's fiscal proposal immediate endorsement, there is ample proof of a desire exhaustively to examine his programme and accept or reject it on its merits, on an elementary error, and that while his fiscal arithmetic is illogical, his promises are hypothetical and unproved. It is anticipated that the colonies will resent Mr. Chamberlain's suggestion that their colonial manufacturing growth should be thwarted for the benefit of British manufacturers. On the whole the former colonial secretary's pronouncement is not unfavorably received. On the stock exchange the various departments opened with a better all-round tone. Consols hardened. Action of the Colonies It is realized that the attitude of the colonies is probably the most important factor in his scheme, and what they will say to his statement that they are prepared to contribute towards imperial preferential trade, will largely determine the ultimate decision of this country. The critics of the former secretary for the colonies claim that his whole diagnosis of the present state of the trade of the United Kingdom hangs on a statistical blunder in the comparison of the exports of 1902 with those of 1872. The latter year was notoriously phenomenal as an export year, because of the requirements of Germany and France after the war between those two countries and it is pointed out that Great Britain furnished the great bulk of these, and that her exports consequently bound up from $1,115,000 in 1871-to $1,280,000 in 1872. after which they gradually receded to the same totals as in 1871.

LOVER TAKES ADVANTAGE STRANGE JEWISH CUSTOM TO THWANT HIS RIVAL. As Bride Approached Altar He Slipped Coin in Her Hand, Thus Marrying Her. Baltimore, Md., Oct. 6.—A curious matrimonial complication has been finally settled by Judge Sharp, granting Samuel Oren a divorce from Marie Roypen. Last October the couple were married. As the couple approached the altar Joseph Goldberg, formerly a suitor, slipped a coin into the girl's hand and according to old Jewish custom claimed her as his wife. The incident created a sensation among the crowd in the synagogue, but the rabbi concluded to marry the girl to Oren. Next day Goldberg and the girl eloped to Boston. Oren tried to secure a warrant for the girl's arrest. Failing in this he went to Philadelphia and consulted a number of orthodox rabbis respecting the case. Meanwhile Goldberg and the Roypen girl returned to Baltimore and went to live with Goldberg's parents. Goldberg contended that the girl's marriage to Oren was null and void and that his was binding, because she was forced to marry Oren by her parents. The case was finally submitted to a council of Jewish rabbis, who decided that the girl had to be divorced from both husbands. A BIG DECREASE. Earnings of United States Steel Corporation Drop $4,461,822 During the Last Quarter. New York. Oct. 6.—The meeting of the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation, at which the dividend question was to be considered, began shortly after 3 p. m. today. J. P. Morgan was present. The directors declared a quarterly dividend of $ \frac{1}{2} $ of 1 per cent. on United States steel common stock. The regularly quarterly dividend of 1 and $ \frac{3}{4} $ per cent. was declared on the preferred stock. The statement of earnings shows that the net earnings for the quarter ended September 30, September estimated were $ 32,302,821, a decrease of $ 4,461,822, as compared with the same quarter last year. After the meeting a member of the board said the reduction in the common dividend was made by a unanimous vote and that the cut in the rate was decided on because of a falling off in business. HERBERT LAID AT REST Late British Ambassador at Washington Is Buried in London—Mr. Choate Attends the Funeral. London, Oct. 6.—The remains of Sir Michael Herbert, the late British ambassador at Washington, were interred this afternoon in the family burial ground at Wilton. Wiltshire. The funeral was largely private. King Edward and the Prince of Wales sent representatives.

Simultaneously there was an impressive memorial service in the Mariborough house chapel, St. James palace. CHICAGO FIGHTS GRAFT. Council Undertakes Plan of Espionage of City Hall Employes—Will Employ Three Detectives. Chicago, Ill., Oct. 6. After hearing an explanation from Mayor Harrison concerning the municipal "graft" charges, the Chicago city council last night voted to establish a system of espionage over the city employees. It also appointed a committee of nine aldermen to conduct an investigation of the city departments. Three confidential agents or detectives will be employed and assigned to different departments, to furnish information which may lead to the detection of any dishonest dealings.

LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER IS DROWNED. John D. McMartin of Granite Rock Station Perishes. Marquette, Mich., Oct. 6.—John D. McMartin, assistant keeper of the Granite Rock light station, eighteen miles off this port, was drowned last Friday, the sail boat in which he had started for Marquette on trip for supplies being wrecked on the rocks during a heavy sea. Nonsense About Sneezing "When a man sneezes heartily he may know himself to be healthy. No person in poor health ever sneezes," says the eminent doctor, Sir Jonathan Hutchinson. This statement will be challenged by those familiar with the plague, who know that hearty sneezing is its first symptom. Everyone knows that a series of sneezes comes in the first stages of catching cold, and that the hay fever victim sneezes to his great discomfort. Patents. The legal duration of a patent in Germany, is fifteen years from the date of application and additional patents expire at the same time as the main patent. Inventions which appertain to articles of food or medicine cannot be patented in Germany. Owing to the cool weather of July the death rate in the larger cities is 10 to 16 per cent. less than the average for that month. COMMON DECLINES A FULL POINT ON THE NEW YORK EXCHANGE. The Weakest Stock in the List Was Amalgamated Copper, Which Declined Two Points. New York, Oct. 7. Interest in today's stock market centered largely around the Steel shares, particularly the common. London's higher prices for these issues was doubtless the chief reason for their early strength. Opening prices for Steel common ranged from $17\frac{1}{2}$ to $17\frac{1}{4}$ for 6000 shares, $ \frac{1}{8} $ above and below yesterday's close. Steel preferred, on sales of 3000 shares, made a maximum advance of $ \frac{1}{8} $ . The balance of the list was generally higher. Early gains in Steel stocks were soon lost, the common declining a full point and the 5 per cent, bonds almost as much. The weakest stock in the list was Amalgamated Copper, which declined almost 2 points on heavy selling credited to Boston. MAYBRICK ESTATE IS SHORT $75,000. Trustees Unable to Find Large Sum Claimed by the Famous Prisoncr— Her Fortune Is Lost New York, Oct. 7.—A shortage of $75,000 in the estate to which Mrs. Florence Maybrick, who will be released from an English prison next July, lays claim, was revealed yesterday. The estate belonged to one of Mrs. Maybrick's ancestors. Her representatives brought suit for an accounting by certain trustees of the estate. The shortage was made public when Attorney Samuel B. Hayden of Washington examined William L. Gardner of Brooklyn, one of the trustees, regarding funds due the estate from sales of land in Virginia, West Virginia, Illinois and Kentucky. Mr. Gardner was asked specifically as to his knowledge of the signing of deeds releasing the Baroness de Roques and her daughter, Mrs. Maybrick, from title to property in America. One item of 40,000 acres of land, it is alleged, was sold for $85,000 and of this sum only $10,000 was admitted as received by the trustees. Mr. Gardner said that he did not take particular cognizance of the value of the property, adding that so far as he knew only $2500 accrued from this sale. An accounting in the last mentioned sum was made in 1893, but since that time the trustees have made no further accounting. The hearing will be continued October 20. When asked about the shortage of $75,000 Mr. Hayden would say nothing definite. "We would like to know what became of the money," he said. SHOOTS TWO DEPUTIES. Escaped Prisoner Fires on the Men Sent to Arrest Him and Slays Burns, Ore., Oct. 7.—In an attempt to arrest John Frost, alias Harry Egbert, an escaped prisoner wanted for burglary, John G. Saxton, an attorney of Burns who was acting as special deputy sheriff, and Jack West, a rancher, were killed by Egbert on October 4. They found Egbert and his wife in a ranch house, 135 miles from Burns. Egbert recognized Saxton and West and fired. West was shot in the back and died later. Egbert then went in the house, followed by Saxton, the woman in the meantime having fled. The men fired at each other through a thin board partition. Saxton was shot through the shoulder, but kept up the battle. Egbert, finding the fight too hot fled upstairs. Saxton, in answer to a call for water from West, left the house for a spring. As he turned away from West, he, too, was shot and mortally wounded. Egbert then went to a ranch where at the point of a gun he demanded a horse. He has not been seen since. County officials have offered a reward of $500 for his capture. WILSON S. BISSELL DIES. Postmaster General in Mr. Cleveland's Second Cabinet and a Prominent Lawyer of Buffalo. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 7.—Wilson S. Bissell, postmaster-general in President Cleveland's cabinet, died at 10:15 o'clock last night. The end came peacefully. Mr. Bissell suffered from complications thought to be akin to Bright's disease, although not well understood. Mr. Bissell was one of the foremost members of the bar of this state. He was born in New London, N. Y., in 1847 and removed with his parents to this city in 1852. He attended the public schools of Buffalo until 16 years old, when he entered the Hopkins Grammar school at New Haven, Conn., for a preparatory course for Yale college, from which he graduated in 1869. He returned to Buffalo the same year and immediately began the study of law, being admitted to the bar in 1871. In 1872 he became a member of the firm of Bass & Bissell. In 1874 Grover Cleveland became a member of the firm, which was known as Bass, Cleveland & Bissell, and continued until 1876, when Mr. Bass retired, and the firm became Cleveland & Bissell, remaining so until 1881, when Mr. Cleveland was elected mayor of Buffalo. As a Democrat he was one of Grover Cleveland's stanchest supporters, and when the latter was elected President of the United States the second time Mr. Bissell was appointed postmaster-general, which office he held for two years, and resigned, resuming his professional practice in this city. NORTHERN PACIFIC DYNAMITERS ESCAPE Posse of Detectives, with Bloodhounds, Unable to Find the Trail Owing Helena. Ment., Oct. 7.—Owing to heavy rainstorms and the conditions of the country the posse of detectives with bloodhounds which went from Helena to endeavor to locate the dynamiters who placed the explosives on the Northern Pacific tracks Monday night, was unable to do anything in the way of apprehending the perpetrators of the outrage. When the posse reached the scene about 3 o'clock Tuesday morning a heavy rain was falling. The tracks of the men were obliterated and the dogs could not take the scent. The project was given up and the posse returned to Helena. Grand Jury Finishes Work of Cleaning Out the Postoffice Department. FRAUDSARE RUN DOWN First Batch of Indictments Found Against Ten Men Returned by Jury. Washington, D. C., Oct. 6.—With the return of fifteen indictments against ten postal officials and employes by the federal grand jury yesterday the end was reached of the investigation into the extensive postoffice frauds. Those indicted yesterday were the following: JAMES N. TYNER of Indiana, former assistant attorney general for the postoffice department, who was summarily dismissed last April for official misconduct, and who is now in a dying condition at his home in this city. HARRISON J. BARRETT, Tyner's nephew and a former assistant attorney for the postoffice department, who for several years past has appeared as counsel before the department for various alleged fraudulent concerns. JAMES T. METCALF, former superintendent of the money order division of the postoffice department, who was summarily dismissed some time ago for endeavoring to divert a contract for printing money order blanks. HARRY C. HALLENBECK, senior member of the firm of Wynkoop, Hallenbeck, Crawford & Co. of New York, the firm which formerly had the contract for printing the blanks used in the money order service, and to which Supt. Metcalf endeavored to divert a contract for printing money order blanks. NORMAN R. METCALF, son of former Supt. Metcalf, who is alleged to be involved in the printing contract frauds. WILLIAM D. DOREMUS, inventor and proprietor of the Doremus cancelling machine, who is alleged to have used bibery to introduce his machine in the postal service. GEORGE E. GREEN, state senator, of Binghamton, N. Y., who is alleged to be involved in the Doremus machine frauds. GEORGE W. BEAVERS, former superintendent of the salary and allowance division of the postoffice department, who is alleged to have received a commission on the sales of the Doremus machine to the government. AUGUST W. MACHEN, alleged to have received a commission on the purchase of rural free delivery carrier bags from Charles J. Haller of Philadelphia. W. SCOTT TOWERS, superintendent of the F street branch postoffice, who is charged with having received bribes for securing the purchase of book typewriters by the government. Judge Tyner will never be tried, because he is said to be dying, slowly but surely. His case is especially sensational, because Tyner was himself postmaster-general during the last year of Gen. Grant's administration. The next step is the trials of the indicted. The first to face a jury will be August W. Meachen, former head of the free delivery department, who will be tried here. Daniel Miller, a law clerk, and Attorney Johns, who was indicted with Miller, will be tried in Cincinnati. The result of the postoffice fraud in- Under Indictment.

Stratton married a young lady of Oshkosh, Wis. DRANK WOOD ALCOHOL PUNCH. Three Men Die from Effects of Foolhardy Act. Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 6.—Frank and Thomas Helms, brothers, aged 43 and 24 years respectively, and William Gonn, aged 41, died today from the effects of drinking wood alcohol. The men procured a quantity of wood alcohol from a drug store and with lemon and sugar made a punch of the extract. Hamilton, Kan., Oct. 7.—The worst tornado in years passed west of Hamilton last night, leaving death and destruction in its wake. Three persons are known to have been killed and ten seriously injured. The dead: BAILEY, EDITH, daughter of W. E. W. Bailey. GILLMAN, MR., father of Mrs. John Bailey. UNKNOWN MAN. Seriously injured: W. E. W. Balley and his two sons and two daughters; one son, Ollie, probably fatally hurt. H. Heberlin, wife and child. E. S. Mahias and wife. Five distinct funnel-shaped clouds formed at about the same time within a radius of eight miles. The two largest of the clouds accompanied by terrific wind traveled over a strip about a quarter of a mile in width and is said to have caused enormous destruction to property and crops. Nine houses are known to have been destroyed. Wires are down and details meager. Burlington, Kan., Oct. 7.—The town of Aliceville, Kan., containing 200 inhabitants, is reported to have been destroyed by last night's tornado. Fifteen persons are known to have been injured, three seriously. BIG DAMS GO OUT. Tremendous Damage Done to Government Canal and Property at Lake Union. Seattle, Wash., Oct. 7.—The high water in Lake Union at 6 o'clock this morning burst through the dams retaining walls at the side of the first gates at the head of the government canal. The gates are still standing, but the flood has made a big channel around the lock. The Fremont passenger, team and street car bridges are badly damaged and are expected to be washed away. The Ross bridge has been so badly damaged that it is impassable. The bay (Ballard harbor) is filling rapidly with the dirt carried into it by the swift current. The banks of the canal are caving rapidly and immense damage probably will be done to the government works. Only one building at Fremont is so far in danger. This belongs to the government and is unoccupied. The flow of water cannot be stopped and Lake Union will undoubtedly be lowered about 10 feet which will put the mills on that body of water out of business. Later news from Fremont indicates that the damage to the work the government has already done will be great it is a fact that the flood of water is doing more to finish and deepen the canal than the government could do in five years. There is no prospect of damage to other than government property beyond the possible shutdown of lake Union mills until new dams can be built as the head of the canal. People of Ballard and Fremont are jubilant over the good work accomplished by what, under normal circumstances, would be a destroying agent. IT DOES NOT FLY. Langley's Machine Plunges Into River and Is Pronounced To Be a Failure. Widewater, Va., Oct. 7.—An unsuccessful attempt was made today to launch the Langley flying machine. The machine went about 100 yards and is a complete wreck. The machine at no time seemed to travel under its own motive power, but only went with the momentum it received from the launching power. Prof. Manley, who was in the aerodrome, was not injured, but received a ducking. When the machine struck the water it disappeared, but only for a moment. The five empty conical shaped floats performed their function well and the aerodrome was soon floating on the water. The initial momentum, the lightness of the machine and the sustaining surface of the winds furnished conditions for the transit of the machine from the 60-foot elevation to the water just as a light piece of board skims small distances on the air. Within ten minutes the tugs were pulling away at the debris. Prof. Manley climbed into a rowboat and was conveyed to the deck of the tug Bartholdi, where he put on dry clothes. He gave out the following statement: It must be understood that the test today was entirely an experiment and the first of its kind ever made. The experiment was unsuccessful. The balancing on which depended the success of the flow was based on the tests of the model and proved to be incorrect, but only an actual trial of the full size machine itself could determine that. My confidence in the future success of the work is unchanged. I have no other information to give. I shall make a formal report to Prof. Langley. It was noon exactly when all was cleared for action. Prof. Manley, though not a witness of the failure of his aerodrome, received certification in Washington of its mishap shortly after the attempted flight. Charges of Graft Are Made—Highway Robbery and Burglary Not Included in Accusations. Denver, Colo., Oct. 7.—Officers and men of the Colorado state militia, a part of whom have been detailed to Cripple Creek, have fallen out and are now charging each other with grafting and irregularities of an almost endless variety. Highway robbery and burglary are not on the list of offenses, but the charges made do not come short of them. Among the charges to be investigated are alleged padded pay rolls, extravagance in purchase of supplies, rake-off from contractors, and "fixed" books, and the like. It is expected that a courtmartial investigation will begin Thursday or Friday. FEEDERS' STRIKE HANDICAPS BUSINESS Chicago Houses Delayed in Publishing Annual Catalogues—"Strike Breakers" Offered by Another Union. Chicago, Ill., Oct. 7.—The strike and lockout of press feeders resulting from a refusal of the Chicago Typothetae, the Employers' association, to consider the opposition of Franklin union No. 4 for an "open shop" is beginning to affect certain lines of "rush" work and large business houses are handicaped by inability to get out their catalogues on time. Printing Pressmen's union No. 3 has offered to furnish "strike breakers," hoping thereby to disrupt the Franklin union Another Armed Crank Invades the White House. Washington, D. C., Oct. 5.—A desperate hand to hand encounter with an armed insane man who was determined to see President Roosevelt occurred in the vestibule of the white house shortly before noon today. The man who gave his name as Peter Elliot and his home as Minneapolis, was overpowered by the officers on duty at the white house entrance and carried to a police van which had been summoned. He was placed in the van in the custody of two officers. Seeming to realize then for the first time that he was under arrest, Elliott began the furious struggle with his captors for liberty. He drew a revolver from the right side pocket of his trousers and attempted to shoot Officer James Cissell Grapples with Police. The officer grabbed his hand and wrenched the weapon from his grasps. Elliott's struggles were so fierce, now ever, that the two officers in the cramped quarters of the van were unable to overcome him. Officer Cissell then drew his revolver and fired two shots to attract attention. Chief Usher Thomas Stone and Officer Parker of the white house force, who had assisted in carrying Elliott to the van, attracted by the shots, rushed back to the vehicle and assisted in overpowering him. In the struggle within the police van, Elliott had broken a glass panel with his head, severely cutting his head and face. Officer Cissell sustained a serious cut on his right arm, two inches of flesh being cut out of the fleshy part of the arm. He suffered considerably from loss of blood, but his injury is not serious. The van was hurried to the Emergency hospital, where the injuries of both Cassell and Elliott were dressed. Watched the President. Elliott is undoubtedly violently insane. Several days ago Secretary Loeb received a letter postmarked Washington and written on letter paper of the St. James hotel, this city. The letter enclosed a photograph of Elliott and an incoherent request for an interview with President Roosevelt. The letter was signed "Peter Ell," the statement being made immediately under the signature that the writer was registered at the hotel as Peter Elliott. It was evident to Secretary Loeb that his correspondent was insane, and he issued directions at once that the officers on duty both at the white house and at the executive offices should be on their guard against him. The photograph was turned over to the secret service officers. Nothing was seen of the man until yesterday, when the President attended morning services at Grace Reformed church. Elliott appeared near the entrance to the church and made an effort to speak to the President, but he was foiled in his endeavor by the secret service officers. At that time the man manifested no symptoms of insanity and quietly left the vicinity of the church when ordered to do so by the officers. First Call at White House. About 10 o'clock this morning he appeared at the executive offices. Entering the vestibule he inquired for President Roosevelt. One of the doorkeepers asked him why he wanted to see the President. "Oh, just for fun," he responded. "The President sent for me and I just want to see him." Elliott was told to return next month. He smiled and walked away, not offering the slightest objection to the rebuff which he had received. His appearance attracted very little attention and he gave no indication at that time of insanity. All of the officers, both at the white house and at the executive offices, however, were warned again to be on the lookout for the man and not to take any chances with him. Shortly before 12 o'clock Elliott walked up to the main door of the white house, stepped inside and inquired of Officer Cissell if he might see the President. Chief Usher Stone and Officer Parker were standing just within the vestibule at the time. Mr. Stone told the man that he could not see the President just at the moment, as he was engaged, but that he might possibly arrange to see him after a while. Man Becomes Violent. Instantly, the man having been recognized, a hurry call was sent for a police van. Scarcely had the call been sent in when Elliott became violent. The officers and attendants threw themselves upon him and after a brief but strenuous struggle, overpowered him. Officer Cissell made a cursory examination of his pockets, but found only a pair of shears and a large penknife. The man became quiet but refused to leave the white house until he was forced to go. The officers conveyed him to the police van, which by that time was waiting at the southeast gate of the white house grounds. The struggle in the van occurred almost immediately after Elliott had been placed in the vehicle. He drew his revolver from a pocket which seemed to be an enlarged watch fob. As that is a most unusual place in which to carry a pistol Officer Cissell in his hurried search had overlooked the weapon. The pistol was an ordinary make five-shooter of a cheap pattern. At the Emergency hospital, where his wounds were dressed, Elliott said that he was a Swede and that his home was in Minneapolis. From the hospital the man was taken to the First precinct police station and incarcerated in one of the detention wards. An official examination as to his mental condition will be held very soon. Did Not Appear Insane. At the St. James hotel it was stated that Elliott arrived there last Wednesday evening. He registered as "P. O. Ell. New York." He had no baggage and paid for his room in advance. He conducted himself about the hotel in a quiet, gentlemanly manner and nobody with whom he came in contact imagined that he was insane. Elliott is about 5 feet 6 inches high, 35 years old, with light brown hair and beard and apparently is of foreign birth. Looking for Peter Elliott. Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 5.—The directory gives the names of two Peter Elliott's. "Peter O. Elliott," a machinist, is mentioned, and a "Peter P. Elliott," who is an oiler in a flour mill. An endeavor to locate them was started immediately upon the receipt of the news from Washington stating that an insane man had attempted to reach the President. The name "Peter Ell" does not appear in the directory. THE OLD DOCK.

You'll noi bore me, I suppose I shall even grow fond ot you. You have tact and patience and sympathy.” She spoke listlessly, and these faint compliments had some of the quality of contempt. Then she rose, and said, “Please moye my chair around. I can’t bear the sight of that water.” The Honorable Charles: Braxton rear- ranged her chair, changed his own posi- tion, and went on with his customary persistent patience, “I have told you that I want you more than I ever wanted anything, Bertha, and the more I see of you, the stronger that need grows. I want you so much that [ must have you. I'm willing to take all the chances, it you are. I think I can make you love me.

If you want me that much, I am yours. I know so well what the real thing is. I had touched it, and felt it, and known the life and joy of it for one little while, and then the big house ot joy tumbled, and I was left out in the darkness, After that you came. I told you I din’t care, that I never could; but you will never believe me. Now I'm simply tired of resisting you, and I'm at a halt, ready to be captured without much fight. There's no hope of rein- forcements. My romance js quite over.” “One's first love affair always seems more romantic, I suppose. You thought you were in love, but I think one can never judge at the time. One is never sure until long afterward.” Miss Frayne rose suddenly. ‘No. one doesn’t always know ut the time,” she said, “but one does know afterward. Look at that water!

It is one of the tricks our mem ory plays us when it seleets something absolutely insignifieant and passes ovet so many obviously important events. But the song and the moonlight on the waves stand out in my past with the vividness of a flash-light photograph, and they mean only one thing—him!” He did not reply to this for some time. but at last ne cautiously advanced. “But your engagement was broken.

Some of the best white bireh for the making of spool bars grows at the head- waters of Nicatous stream, Maine, but «wing to the shoal water and the rough cetntry, operators have found the cost of getting the wood to the mills so high ‘that the birches are still growing. _ For two years the owners of the land have ent a few cords, and by peeling the bark off when it was green and painting the ends of the sticks, they haye hoped to drive the timbers to market by water. But whenever a stick has remained in water beyond four weeks it has sunk and, as it takes fully six weeks to drive the stream, no results were obtained (uv give encouragement for future work. —, Last spring Bill Davis, an aged woods- man from Linneus, came to the owner of the tract and proposed to cut and rup out spool wood. “Gracious, yes,” replied Jones. “Til allow you 75 per cent. of all the logs you'll get out to Penobscot river, but Ul tell you now that yon ain't going tu get rich out of the operation, because 1 know that stream, and you'll have to rut two old dollars for every new one you receive.” During the muddy going of April Davis made many trips to and from the woods, taking in his large family ef boys and toting feed supplies and machinery. By June 1 he had built a dam on a branch Strerm and put up a small log mill. He #nd his boys cut along and tapering bireches by the hundred and thousand, snd as fast as the trees were feiied they were pnt in at one end of the mill and came ont at the other to be dumped in pe ene and floated away to the saw- mills. In August the first end of Dayis’ birch drive began to show up, and since that time the spool bars have been furnished regularly to the waiting ears. This week Davis went down to Bangor to have # settlement with Jones, who owns the land, “You've done it, Davis.” said Jones. “It's the first time I ever saw anyoue who could make a green birch log float, and IT am glad you're-getting rieh from the contract. Now, how did you fix these logs so they ean’t sink?” “Lil tell you,” replied Davis. “Al I use is just what you give your customers when you try to drive a sharp bargain with them—plain wind. You know the red heart wood of the birches is not fit for muking spools, so it doesn't matter what becomes of that portion. Knowing this, I bored out a good piece of the red wood with a big auger I have in my mill and let the hole fill up with wind. Then I drove in a plug and kept the wind in until the logs arrived at the mill. | It’s easy enough when you know how. Boston Men.

Herd of Brush Eating Goats Demanded Too Much Attention. Justice Sewall of the supreme court, who is presiding in Brooklyn, is the last man that his neighbors in Walton, Dela- ware county, would acense of haying a fad. At the same time it would take a jury of unsnally sedate men who would not smile when told that Justice Sewell ‘recently has disposed of his flock of sey- enty-six Angora goats and has estab- lished a ginseng farm. Three or four years ago friends of Justice Sewell, interested in experimental work for the federal government, per- suaded him to try raising Angora goats. Mr. Sewell investigated the subject, and then went into it. The goats came from Texas, where they had been bred by crossing pure Angoras with Texas goats. The animals were turned into a brush lot near Walton village, and did well from the first. They ate up a the brush. Justice Sewell teils his friends that an ae goat standing 2 feet high can peel the bark off of a shrub 6 feet up the trunk. The goats would not eat grass while the brush lasted. One yearling yielded T pounds of the finest alpaea wool, worth a doilar a pound. Another goat, one of the finest specimens in the herd, ¢limbed to an unreasonable height up a small sapling, got its horns twisted in a crotch, and died before it could be rescued. Beeause he could not give the goat farm the requisite amount of attention, Judge Sewell sold his flock to a man in Cortland county. Then, on the solicitation of a neighbor, he took up the raising of ginseng. The neighbor does all the work. The acre and a half now under cultivation has on it a round bundred thousand plants go- ing on 2 and % years old, Six hundred doWars’ worth of seeds were sold. this year. At the end of five or six years the owners expect to have 10,000 roots, weighing a third of a pound apiece, and worth more than $2 4 pound. Nearly ell the product goes to China, where it is regarded as possessing great medicinal properties. A succession of lath sheds have been built over the ginseng to shade the grow- ing plants. The shedding is about 7 feet in height and allows but little light to get through. All the weodwork is painted green, in order that the coloring of the surroundings may be as vear like the natural woodland environments of tie ginseng as possible. One Bov’s Rise to Success. If you want to learn how one young man got along in the world, listen: Alvah C. Dinkey, at 37, is president of the Carnegie Steel company and holds the most important position in the steel trade of this country, next to W. E. Corey, president of the United States Steel company. At 16 years of age Dinkey was a tele- graph operator for Carnegie. He gave that up and put on the leather apron of an apprentice in order to learn to be a machinist. It was harder work than telegraphing, and for a year or so it was less pay, But this young man had iis eye on the outcome. He made a special stndy of electricity. He saw how this power could be applied ‘in rolling mills. He patented laborsav- ‘ing devices and was made assistant en- gincer, then engineer, superintendent, president. An easy climb? | By no means. It was upward through ‘toil and sweat and grime, and the con- ‘stant pumping of blood into gray matter. Dinkey did not spend his money for glad clothes. Nor for “high balls.” ‘ He spent his time and money building brains and body and character. And now, at 37 years of age, he is at the top and draws a larger salary than the presi- dent.—Cincinnati Post. 12 DROWN AT GREEN BAY. Steamer Erie L, Hackley Sinks and Only Nine Are Rescued.

The storm which sent the Hackley to the bottom was the most violent. which has been recorded in this vicinity for years. The steamer was seven miles from Green island when it broke, and, warned by the threatening clouds, the captain was hastening to get his boat under the shelter of the islalnd. According to the story of the surviyors, the first blast of the gale was so fierce that the upper works of the steamer were partly demolished. The passengers who were in the cabin ran on deck, A frantic search for life preservers began, but before any could be secured the see- ond burst of wind rolled the steamer over until thle water poured into the hold. Again the wind caught the doomed craft, this time full on its side, rolling the boat completely over. It sank in- stantly. . Captain Goes Down with Ship. A number of those lost were carried under by the suction of the sinking boat, and, it is believed, did not come to the surface again. Capt. Vorous remained in the pilot house trying to head the steam- er into the wind, and went down with his ship. The wind, which continued with al- most the foree of a hurricane, caused a heavy sea to spring up immediately. In the darkness and the pouring rain which accompanied the wind it was impossi- ble to see, and the stronger swimmers were unable to render aid to those-who were struggling near them, ‘Che wind drove them farther apart, so that the eries‘of the drowning were lost. Hears Hail from Water. At 7 o’elock in be morning the steam- er Sheboygan reach@d the vicinity of the wreck. Suddenly the lookout heard a hail from the water almost under the steamer’s bow. He saw a man op a piece of wreckage, and a lifeboat was lowered. After a hard: pull in the heavy sea the crew of the lifeboat suceeeded in getting him on board. This man was nearly dead, but he managed to tell enough of the disaster to start the steam- er on a long search over the surrounding water. Eight others were picked up, and after several hours spent in steam- ing around it was thought certain that every one of the passengers and crew of the Hackley who had remained afloat had been resened. In order to procure medical aid for the shipwrecked persons the Sheboygan put into Fish Creek, the nearest port, and there landed the survivors, Tugs were sent out at dnce to eontinue the search in the hope that others might have remained afloat, bunt itis believed there is not much chance of any more being found. Story ef a Survivor. Purser Blakefield told_the following story of the wreck: ‘When the gale struck the boat the passengers and crew became panie stricken. IT left the cap- tain in the pilot house and ran aft to let down the lifeboat. By the time I got aft the Hackley was filling so rapidly that it was apparent .it would be impossible to launch any beat. There came another fieree blast, and the uppper works went by the board, Then the steamer began to sink rapidly. ‘Women Implore and Pray. “The situation was made particularly heartrending by the women, who shouted hysterically, imploring the men to save them, and accompanied their appeals for assistance with prayer. I gave orders for the men to put the women on the wreckage first. They did so, and be- haved well, every man remaining on the sinking beat until the women had been cared for. Then there was a wild scram- ble on the part of each man to get such pieces of planking as he could secure. “Byery man found something to float on except the captain, who remained in the pilot house to the last doing his best to right the boat, and he finally went down with it. “After the Hackley sank for a few minutes we were in sight of each other, but soon separated. The last persons that I saw except those with me on the raft were the two Vincent girls from Egg Harbor, who were floating together. They seemed to have recovered entirely from their first iene eee ee making a brave struggle for their lives. “We ‘were bitten by the cold wind and benumbed by the colder water, and the surprise is that we did not all die of ex- postre. We drifted I know not where until picked up by the Sheboygan. The Hackley left Menominee, Mich., Satarday afternoon and wes bound for Fish Creek and Green Bay_city- The Hackley was a 54ton serew steamer which was built at Meskegos Mich., in 1882. She was owned in Fish Greek by Capt. Vorous and other resi- dents of that village. The steamer made a trip gs oan ‘day between Sturgeon Bay and Washington island, going up ‘One day and pack the next. Always Something to Learn. President Eliot was arguing in favor pt education by “showing how,” before the kindergartens. He said that he was learning something every day by being “shown how.” He illustrated his point by describing the training of medical students, and con- cluded by telling of an. old friend of his who had suddenly become deaft in one ear. “How did it happen?” I asked him. “Well, I was blowing my aose the other day, when I felt something snap in my ear, followed by an aching 2nd dull- ness, “When the doctor came he said the drum was split, and asked how I did it. **L onty blew my nose,’ I told the doe- tor. “Well, had you opened your mouth when-you blew your nose you would not now have a damaged eardrum, was the medico’s reply.” “You see, my friend had lived seventy years and had never been shown how to blow his nose,” continued President Eliot. The application was appreciated and greeted with » great burst of laughter.— Boston Journal. LATEST MARKET REPORTS. MILWAUKEE, OCTOBER 7, 1908. EGG AND DAIRY MARKETS.

The new chemistry suggests that matter and electricity are one and the same; that what we call atoms consist of systems of far tinier bodies, the ions, or electrons, which are simply charges of electricity. Sir Oliver Lodge sug- gests that the typical atom may be similar to a stellar sys- tem, consisting of a definite number of these electrons moving in rapid orbits just as the planets move round the sun. The simplest atom, that of hydrogen, is believed to consist of about 700 electrons in regular orbital motion, under laws closely akin to those which keep the earth in its course round the sun. The electrons are assumed to be all exactly alike, so that an oxygen atom would consist of sixteen times as many, a gold atom of 196 times as many, and so forth.

[HE REVOLUTION IN CHEMISTRY. By W. EB, Garrett Fisher. Nothing is too great, nothing too small, for the measuring rod of modern science. On the one hand we have astronomy, which revels in mag- nificent distances. On the other we have the new chemistry which deais with the infinitely little and investigates the inexpressibly tiny con- stituents that make up ordinary matter. Lord Kelvin gave us a popular idea of the size of atoms when he said that if a single drop of rain Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, Newport Lead- er, Wants to Enter Politics. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, wife of the President of-the Illinots Central Rail- road and rivat of Mrs. Astor for the leadership of the ultra-fashionable set at Newport, has grown weary of s0- ciety. She says American social cir- cles are stupid because the women do nothing but dress and talk nonsense. She thinks they ought to get into poli- tics. “Just think,” she says, ‘what in- fluence a woman in high position in Washington could have.” Speaking of Mrs, Roosevelt, she said: “The wife of the President, it 1s claimed, dresses on $300 a year; and tf S42... fe A SS Wye b : aN ; co Ro ea se Se ey > 4 Ln = 7 es OS fi XM” VA wa Esa ane: STUYVESANT FISH, she looks it.

Of course the Duke js not as bad as some for- eigners who have married American girls, for he has sume money, about $60,000 a year, but that is not much for people in his station. I think it very foolish.” COFFEE FROM BRAZIL. Producers Are Contemplating a Re- duction of Areas of Planting. Recent news from Brazil brings the information that the coffee producers of that republic are contemplating the reduction of the areas to be devoted to coffee planting for the purpose of re- -stricting the coffee output and so se- curing a large price fer a smaller crop, from which there may be a more anxious demand. Whether that course will, if adopted and persisted in, raise the prize of Brazilian coffee in the United States market, which is the market to which the greater part of the coffee of Brazil finds its way, is an experiment the outcome of which can only be ascerteined by a trial. The trial may also be accommodated by some .Josses by diversion of the trade to other countries that it muy take | years to recover. We get our Brazilian coffee cheaper than that we take from other coun- tries. For the quantity imported during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1903, reaching pretty well up toward a Dbil- Non pounds, we appear from the gov- ernment reports to have paid Brazil at the average rate of 5.8 cents a pound. To Africa, for such coffee as we got direct from that continent, nat a large quantity, we paid a little less —5.7 cents a pound. ‘To other coun- tries we paid various prices, all better than the price paid to Brazil. The | average price per pound paid for cof. fee from Mexico was 8 cents; for that from Central America the average price per pound was 9 cents, while for all the coffee we imported from the Netherlands. including, presumably, our supply of Java coffee, and for the entire quantity we imported from Porto Rico, we paid at the rate of 11 cents a pound.

ADVICE TO THE WOMAN WHO NAGS. By Helen Oidtield. There is no manner of woman whom a mab fi can take to wife so trying to the temper, and se Pf | Wearisome in all ways, as the woman who nags. (J {lt is the little foxes who eat up the tender vines; 4 and continual fret and worry often tell more heavily upon nerves and spirit than do great trials. One braces oneself for the heavy cross, + but gives way hopelessly and helplessly under bes the never ceasing strain of the little irritations which must-be borne day in and day out. ‘There are women who spend and are spent in the service of husband and child; nay, more, who would uuhesitatingly lay down life itself for their sakes, yet who render those dear ones miserable and make home unhappy by continual fault find- ing, by bewailing mistakes, and mourning over misfortunes past help. They weep over spilled milk until the salt of their tears makes bitter the bread which remains from the wreck, and they never forget nor allow others to forget the thorns in the path nor the lions in the way, poisoning | the -pleasure-of. to-day- with -the memory~- oe? pest-sorrow and the dread of evil to come. If only the women who nag could be brought to under- stand how infinitesimal the good and how great is the harm which their continual dropping accomplishes. The wound which is kept open and constantly irritated never heals, and the sorrow which is never suffered to sleey wears out both body ‘and“brain. It ts love’s duty to com- fort and console, and the love which makes a wife a true helpmeet to her husband has no reproaches for the mis- takes of yesterday and only sympathy for those of to-day, with abundant hope for the morrow. HOW TO TRAIN THE MEMORY. Memory training, like the acquisition of for eign tongues, seemns to be a topic of interest just now; its actuality is another sign that the En- glishman, if not indeed waking up, is at any rate turning over in his sleep as he dreams uneasily ef the gigantic terrors of German and American eanipee Hor, and of the imniinent peril of being ousted from his position in the “vanguard of na- tions.” Something must be done. some effort made, some fillip applied: and since memories are notor? ously unreliable and capricious, in such a manner as te hinder progress, memories ought to be improved. Every system of memory training that is not purely ar bitrary must be based upon the well-known and ancient principle entitled “the association of ideas.’ A certain per: son has no difficulty in remembering certain extrinsic Yacts because they happen to be associated in his mind with cer- tain intrinsic facts. Thus you may hear a man say: “I always know the exact date of the battle of Waterloo be- cause 1 was born on the 18th of June.” One thing sug- gests another; and the great object of the memory trainer is, when one thing does not suggest another, artificially to induce it to suggest another, A first-class system of memory training will neither be random nor clumsy. It will be carefully planned and worked out so as to gain the greatest possible end by the smallest possible means. It will be full of minor ingenui- ties. It will be adaptable, elastic and comprehensive. But --ft will he founded upon the principle of the association of ideas; it will not be a miraculous discovery capable of transforming a brain of lead into a brain of gold; and its success will depend upon the energetic thoroughness with which the learner puts it inte practice.

Those Who Are Now Engaged in the Bloody Dramas of War -- Fonntain Source of the Trouble Is the ‘‘Mece- donian Committee.” One of the most involved matters now claiming public attention is the situation in the Balkans. It involves every essential feature of the once- called “Eastern question” since the tribe of Othman first crossed the Hel- lespont, remarks the New York ‘Trib- une, which in a recent article throws considerable light upon the subject. Turkey in Europe, as it remains since the partitioning of 1878, consists of seven provinces: Conetantinople and Adrianople, which form much of an- clent Thrace; Salonica, Kossovo and Monastir, which largely comprise the region vaguely known as Macedonie, and Scutari and Janina, which form the bulk of Albania, or old Illyria. The inhabitants are varied. There are many Turks, descendants of the tribe of Oth- man, which invaded Europe and over- threw the Byzantine empire. There are Greeks, deecendants of the Greeks of classic days. There are Albanians, of Arnauts, a strange “remnant of for- gotten peoples” descended from the Pe- lasgians, who occupied all that part of Europe before the Dorian migration founded ancient Greece. There are many Jews. There are Wallachs, or Viachs, descended from the autoch- thones, iningled with the Greeks, with a Ianguage derived from the Latin. There are Rotwwanians akin to the Wailachs, but of mixed Roman in- stead of Greek blood. There are Bul- gars, a Slavic people forming au in- ferior branch of the Finnish stock. “There are Serbs, also a Slavic people. There are Gypsies, a few Magyars and ‘some other folk, all differing In race, language and religion. Five of these especially claim Mace- donia—the Turks, because they are the actual sovereigns of the whole empire; the Greeks, because of their relation to it In the time of Alexander; the Al- banlans, because they were the orlg- {nal proprietors; the Serbs, because some of {t was part of their old Ser- yian empire, and the Bulgars, because they have flocked into the country in guch numbers. The rivalry has been acute since 1878, when Servia became independent, and Bulgaria largely so. As the Macedonians are ove of the most superstitious people in the world, the propaganda was at first carried on by ecclesiastical means. Down to 1870 the Greek Church was the only Chris- tian eburch in Macedonia, and all Christians there were at least nominal- | ly Greeks. Then Bulgaria secured the establishment and recognition of some of her churches anG@ schools. The Rou- ‘maniaus followed with schools and colleges in 1886, and at about the same time the Serbs did the same. By “meaus of churches and schools the rival political campaigns have been vig- orously waged, especially on the part of the Bulgars, the Serbs and the Greeks, the Bulgars probably leading the others in numbers and energy. Forcing the Revolution, Having gained about all that could thus be gained, however, the Bulgars a few years ago resorted to more mill- tant tactics. ‘They organized a “Mac- edoniau Committee,” which for a time at least enjoyed government encour- agement. Its object was the political conquest of Macedonia by Bulgaria, thus making Bulgaria the largest pow- er in the Balkan. To secure funds for its work it systematically levied black- mail upon rich Roumanians and oth- ers, Dow and then committing murder to enforce its demands. One of Its characteristic deeds was the kidnap- ping of Miss Stone, the American mis- sionary, and the extortion of a large ransom for her under threats of out- rage and death. It established an or- ganized system of brigandage through- out Macedonia, committed dynamite outrages In Salonica and elsewhere, and murdered Greeks, Wallachs and others in fulfillmént of its threat to create such a reign of terror and anarchy that the powers would be forced to intervene. A few months age Austria-Hungary and Russia urged upon Turkey the promulgation of vari ous administrative reforms, intended to allay discontent and avert rebellion. This was futile. The reforms were ab surdly inadequate. They were never put into effect. If they had been they would have done no good. If they hac done all the good in the world the; would not have averted the rebellion for the Bulgars were resolved to organ ize a revolution at any cost, and to b satisfiedwith nothing but the conques of Macedonia by Bulgaria. The Macedonian Committee, com posed of Bulgarian political agitators. last spring announced that a genera insurrection would be provoked sie ‘this year. To that end its mem! led by the notorious Sarafoff and oth! ers, resorted to train-wrecking, arson and murder, perpetrated sometimes against Greeks, Wallachs and other Christians. The Turks retallated. So did the Arnauts, who are hot partisans of the Turks. ‘hen Turkish troops were sent in to quell the troubles, and so the present state of affairs was de- veloped. Although the revolt was thus artificially organized by the Bulgars for the sake of political conquest, and was at first disapproved and resisted by the Greeks and Wallachs, It is now coming to appeal pretty strongly to all the people. The Bulgars persist in it for political conquest. The Greeks, Wallachs and others accept it in the hope of intervention or something that will free them from Turkish misrule, and at the same time save them from Bulgarian oppression, which would be to them almost as bad as Turkish, and jmany-of the Turks; even - regard ‘the revolution with relief and satisfaction as the only way out of an Intolerable ‘eiiattom SAYS COLUMBUS DIDN'T. Discoveries in Greenland Threaten the Fame of Christepher. Reports concerning important discov- ery made in Greenland by the Danish exploring expedition under Captain Braun were brought to this city: by Captain Friesbie, of the British bark Alkaline, says the Philadelphia Rec ord. The scientisis following the in- trepid Braun into the far frozen north have found abundant material to sup- port their claim that the Norsemen discovered America long before Chris- topher Columbus set sail for the new land. These discoveries include ai) sorts of weapons, tools and utensils, of undoubted Norse manufacture, the age of which- can be authenticated. ‘These implements of civilization and bits of wreckage found nearby sug gest that one or more of the early ex -ploring parties were wrecked off the coast of Grenland, and seem to prove ‘that others effected a landing and | really established at least a retreat, if not a permanent habitat, in that coun- try. - Captain Frlesbie describes the arms and utensils found by Captain Braun, who is a distinguished officer of the ‘Danish army and an explorer ot world-wide repute. Some of these are crude cooking vessels, table cutlery, axes, wedges and unmistakable parts of ancient craft, such as were used by Scandinavians in the perlod of their early explorations. Captain Braun is preparing a thoroughly scientific re port of his discoverles in Greenland, and Captain Friesbie is of the opinion that these findings will lead to the ‘rewriting of certain chapters in the geographies and histories of the world. These discoveries, he says, In- eae the homes of the men whe really discovered America. THE LITTLE FATHER OF THE RUSSIAN FLEET."

MILWAUKEE, WIS THE BATTLE-FIELDS. OLD SOLDIERS TALK OVER ARMY EXPERIENCES. The Blue and the Gray Review Incidents of the Late War, and in a Graphic and Interesting Manner Tell of Camp, March and Battle. "In 1864," said A. D. Newbold, "I was one of five printers detailed to look after the printing for General Meade. Our tent was pitched at City Point near General Grant's headquarters. What we called the desertion orders were printed on slips of paper about three by six inches. We had six forms in type, four for the Gordon press, and two for the cottage press, and we could furnish 8,000 proclamations at an hour's notice. I cannot remember the figures at this late day, but rebel deserters were to receive a stipulated amount for a revolver, so much for a rifle, and so much for a horse, and were to be furnished transportation to any point in the north to which they desired to go, or they could enlist in the United States army and be sent to the frontier, where there would be no chance of their coming in contact with the Confederate troops. We would generally receive an order to print these proclamations when a strong wind was blowing toward the rebel lines. "When the proclamations were printed and arranged in bundles, they were taken as close to the Confederate lines as possible, loosened up by heating the bundles on a stump or a stone, and were thrown in the air, to be wafted over to the Johnnies, and they brought many returns. Our printing mess was made up of as good fighters as there were in the command. We were detailed for that work simply because we were printers, as others were detailed for bridge work, because they were good mechanics. They are talking a good deal, now about the individuality of American soldiers, but in no other army was it better illustrated than in the army of the Potomac." "The individuality of the American soldier," said the major, "asserted itself in the matter of coffee at Spotsylvania, and the coffee, I believe, saved our line of battle. Our regiment was in the Fifth corps, and we marched from the extreme right to the extreme left, of the line of battle. It rained all night, and the Virginia red clay was tougher and stickier than ever I saw it before, making the march irritating and fatiguing to an unusual degree. "When we reached our position we were ordered to make coffee, and we proceeded to do it. Out came our tin cups and frying pans, made of the halves of old canteens, and in five minutes little fires had been built and coffee was boiling and bacon sizzling. Just as the coffee began to smell good, the Johnnies appeared in force in our front and opened a furious fire. Our boys didn't wait for orders. The coffee was at stake, and catching up their guns, they went for the rebels as one man. "In sixty seconds there was beautiful fighting all along the line. Every man in our regiment was mad as a wet hornet about his coffee, and the ferocity and suddenness of our onslaught compelled the rebels to make a quick retreat. In the lull that followed we drank our coffee and ate our bacon and hard tack with keener relish because of the brush with the rebels. This fight, remember, was not on the program, and was not conducted on any previously arranged plan. It was a side fight for coffee, and was as spiteful as indignant and angry men could make it. "There were two brothers in my company who were fair illustrations of careless, good humor, united with coolness and courage. One had been with us from the time the company was organized, and the other, much younger, came to us just before the battle of Chancellorsville. When the rebel batteries opened upon our lines, forming to advance, and the whiz, swish and bursting of shells were giving veterans great uneasiness. Jake, the younger brother, turned to Henry and said quietly, 'There must be a blacksmith shop over there.' "Asked why he thought so, Jake replied, 'Them things they are throwing at us make a noise like anvils.' To this Henry answered, 'Wait until you get down in the woods, and you will see the balance of the outfit, tongs, hammers, trace chains, and horse shoes.' When we came within close range and the rebs opened on us with grape and canister; Jake called to Henry, 'They are throwing the balance of the shop, sure enough, and it sounds like hall on the corn blades in roasting-car season.'"—Chicago Inter-Ocean. They Obeyed "Old Jack." The power which was in the personal presence of "Stonewall" Jackson and his influence over those with whom he associated is well illustrated by an incident which happened early in 1861. The convention which was to decide the attitude of Virginia in the coming conflict was in session in Richmond. As is well known, both the Union and the Secession parties were strong in the State, and the delegates to the convention were correspondingly divided in sentiment. The students and professors of the Virginia Military Institute, situated in Lexington, Virginia, were almost unanimously in favor of secession. At Washington College, now Washington and Lee University, in the same town, the Union sentiment prevailed. One Sunday morning it was learned that the national flag which had floated over Washington College had been pulled down in the night, and was lying in the mud. The students suspected that the students of the Virginia Military Institute were responsible for the outrage, but having no proof, contented themselves with cleaning the flag and replacing it. It was not long before a group of students from the Virginia Military Institute stopped on their way by, and in the light of open day undertook to haul the flag down. This time the Washington boys were on the alert, and falling upon the depredators, handled them somewhat roughly, and beat them from the grounds. The report that a number of Washington men had beaten one cadet without provocation threw the institute into an uproar, and the whole corps immediately turned out to avenge their comrade. Arming themselves with whatever they could lay their hands on, they formed in battle array and proceeded toward Washington College. Their adversaries, although not so well drilled, armed themselves in like manner and awaited the attack. Jackson, then a major, was in church, but an excited whisper from a frightened citizen who had hurried in apprised him of what had happened. He calmly rose and passed out, to find his whole corps coming up the street in much disorder, but with battle in their faces. One glance at the scene, and his decision was made. As quietly as he had left the church he placed himself at the head of the corps and began to give commands, looking to the better order of the column. The boys were roused to the highest pitch of enthusiasm by the leadership of "Old Jack," and were quite ready to kill every Washington boy who opposed them. Promptly came the necessary commands for their forward movement, and the citizens stood aghast. Little by little the cadets fell into perfect order, and little by little their obedience to command became automatic. Tramp! tramp! on they went to battle for the Southern Confederacy, and to avenge the comrade who had suffered in its cause. The consternation of the citizens increased. The corps would soon be in sight of Washington College, and blood would certainly be shed. But suddenly, "Halt!" rang out in Major Jackson's curtest tones. "Right wheel! March!" came in quick succession, and the corps was marching in another direction. At the next street corner the commands were repeated and instantly obeyed, and the faces of the cadets were toward the institute, to which they marched in perfect order. They said afterward that they had been so intent on obeying Old Jack's commands that they did not realize what was happening until he dispersed them at the institute. Story About Gen. Young. Nearly thirty years ago Gen. S. B. M. Young, then a captain and brevet colonel of cavalry, was commanding officer at Fort Union, about twenty-five miles east of Las Vegas, N. M. At that time, according to the El Paso Times, a great part of the business of the country consisted of government contracts and the supplying of the forts and numerous forage agencies scattered throughout the country, and contractors made easy money at the business. Las Vegas was the home of a number of men who thus accumulated fortunes, and these men found it profitable to "stand in" with army officers, so the latter were entertained and made much of by the former whenever they came to town on business or otherwise. One day some soldiers happened in Las Vegas, either on leave of absence from Fort Union or en route to or from that point, and proceeded, according to the usual custom on such occasions, to "take in the town." One of the party got well "tanked up," and the result was that he landed in jail. A hotelkeeper, who was also a government forage agent and a man who had made many thousands of dollars out of government contracts, probably thinking that he might strengthen himself with the officers of the fort, notified Col. Young that one of his men was in jail, and that he had better hurry to town and get him out. So the next day, while the soldier was sitting in court undergoing trial, Col. Young arrived with about a dozen troopers, and, being informed where he would find the soldier, marched his troops around in front of the court house, dismounted them and proceeded himself, with drawn saber in hand, into the court-room. There sat Murphy, and the justice of the peace was proceeding with the trial. Then this scene was enacted: Col. Young—"Private Murphy, attention!" Murphy jumped up and faced the officer in the attitude of "attention." Col. Young—"Right face! Forward, marche!" Murphy obeyed with military promptness and marched down the aisle and out of the courthouse door. Col. Young following and halting him at the street. Then, turning to his command, he gave the order: "Battallion, prepare to mount!—Murphy's horse had been brought along for him—Mount! Right face! Forward, March!" and the whole company proceeded to the hotel. The troops then returned to Fort Union, carrying Murphy with them. Nowadays. Dorothy—Don't you feel in awe of literary women? Dora—No, indeed; my literary cousin says it takes more sense to dress well than it does to write a book. TEMPERANCE TOPICS HOMES ARE RUINED BY STRONG DRINK. Thousands of Lives, Characters and Fortunes Are Annually Wrecked Along the Gilded Pathway, Having Its Beginning in the Wine Room. That drink is responsible for a large proportion of this domestic infelicity is the testimony of those who have had much to do with court business. A letter from Cincinnati says only yesterday eight divorces granted in Judge Smith's divorce court and every one of them was caused by strong drink. Beer and whisky were responsible for these marital wrecks. Kate Chaplin testified that her husband was bookkeeper in a brewery, but drank so heavily he was constantly getting in a muddle and losing his job. He left her, three years ago, and never came back. Bessie Russel said that her husband spent most of his time in saloons. He was constantly beating her. While she worked, he remained in bed. Louise Andrews said that her husband got uproariously drunk and cruelly beat her. Araminta Barker said she owned a piece of land, when her husband got possession of it and then drank up all the proceeds. Jessie Miller's husband was a hard drinker and a gambler, failing to support her. Minnie Schmurr said that her husband always came home drunk, and made her sleep on the floor. Laura Lykins said her husband preferred the saloon to her company and was drunk most of the time. Lydia Allen said her husband spent every cent that he could get for liquor and lived in the saloons. So we see that the saloon is at the bottom of the world's matrimonial unhappiness and ruin. Shut up the saloons and strengthen the family tie. Beer and Kuthuslasm. In a published interview, one of the delegates from Germany, who had been studying methods on this continent, expressed his opinion about United States colleges in the following terms: "I like your American universities very much. They are very well put together. But there is one thing that they miss, and that is beer. The students here can't have the enthusiasm we have in our German schools by drinking water. It is beer that inspires them." The idea of beer as a method of raising enthusiasm is something new. Scientific evidence that cannot be gainsayed, shows that mental development is most effectively secured on a different beverage from that which the German agriculturist wanted so badly. Commenting upon his curious statement, the New York Sun says: "As to the comparative enthusiasm of German and American students: Have the German visitors heard a good, healthy college 'yell?' Take all the enthusiasm and voice of all the Goths, Vandals, Huns, Wends, Burgundians, Franks, Lombards, Visigoths, Alemanni, Ubli, Suevi, Cimbril, Tenchtheri, Teutons, and American Redskins that ever howled the war cry, and that volume of sound could not compare with the enthusiastic tempest of an American college 'yell,' and yet the best college 'yells' are water-born." Some Startling Figures. According to statistics published in the London Alliance News, France is the greatest tippling country on the continent, there now being one drinking place for every thirty inhabitants, or 1,300,000 in the republic, a gain of 220,000 since 1880. In Belgium, where gin is the popular intoxicant, the consumption of alcohol has increased 125 per cent since 1890, and there is one public house to every thirty-six inhabitants. In Holland there is one tavern to every 300 people. In Norway there is only one licensed house to every 7,812 inhabitants. In England there is a "gin palace" to every 145 inhabitants. A Striking Contrast. The Raymond Chronicle says: "In the month of September, 1901, two towns were started through the investments of American capitalists in Southwest Alberta, one being Raymond, the other Frank, now two of the best towns in the Northwest. The latter, named after H. L. Frank, of Butte, Mont., is a swift town of the wide-open kind; Raymond is the other extreme of absolute prohibition, and on these widely different diets both are thriving, but with this difference—in Frank three policemen spend all their time trying to preserve order; in Raymond one policeman comes occasionally, but unnecessarily." Chief Eoc of the Holy Spirit. Cardinal Manning says: "For thirty-five years I have been priest and bishop of London, and I now approach my eightleth year, and have learned some lessons, and the first is this: The chief bar to the working of the Holy Spirit of God in the souls of men and women is intoxicating liquor. I know of no antagonist to that good Spirit more subtle, more stealthy, more ubiquitous, than intoxicating drink." VISITORS TO CHICAGO Could Not Better Themselves Than by Visiting WALDORF CAFE R. S.

"When the ghost walks,' as synonymous with 'salary day' is a familiar term, but I never yet saw in print an explanation of its origin," said a veteran actor. "Like most of the 'technical' expressions of the stage land, this phrase comes from England. In the days of Macready, a provincial company was playing 'Hamlet' at Lavenham, in Suffolk. Salaries were constantly in arrears, and the suspicion began to grow among the members of the company that the manager intended to defraud them. "On the last night of the engagement the performance went along smoothly enough up to that passage of the tragedy in which the ghost disappears, and Hamlet says: 'Perchance 'twill walk again.' Then from behind the scenes came the ghost's voice in a tone distinctly audible to everyone: 'No, this ghost will walk no more until his salary is paid.'"—New York Mail and Express. Straws That Are Made People who call for a straw in a saloon or at a soda fount, receive something that they take to be a straw, but is not. Many of them are manufactured from manilla paper and finished with a hard paraffine wax. They are put on the market in bundles of 500.

Before Starting on Your Travels CALL ON DR, W. L. RANKIN RESIGNS. Withdraws as President of Carroll College at Waukesha. Rev. Wilber O. Carrier Will Receive $2500 Salary—Voorhees Makes Gift of $5000 to Institution. Waukesha, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.]—After thirty-seven years of uninterrupted service as president of Carroll college, Dr. Walter L. Rankin resigned at a special meeting of the board of directors, held here yesterday afternoon. Dr. Rankin gave as his reason that he thought that the growing interests of the college needed the supervision of a younger man than he. His resignation was accepted by a unanimous vote of the directors and Rev. Wilber O. Carrier. D. D., pastor of the Gelden Avenue Presbyterian church of Chicago, was elected as his successor. Dr. Rankin was made vice president of the college and professor of Latin at a salary of $2400 a year. This is the same salary that has been given to him for years. Rev. Carrier's salary will be $2500. At the meeting announcement D. was made of a new gift of $5000 from Ralph Voorhees, the New Jersey benefactor of Carroll, who has previously given the college $95,000 and was instrumental in raising $50,000 more. Jacob Mortenson, a member of the board of directors, guaranteed the salary of the new president for one year. A. J. Frame and Judge E. O. Hand were appointed to draft resolutions of thanks to Mr. Voorhees for his latest gift. The officers at the meeting were: President, Rev. A. A. Klechle of Milwaukee; vice president, Clark Hartwell, Waukesha; secretary, Henry Phelps, Waukesha; treasurer, A. J. Frame, Waukesha; directors, Jacob Mortenson, George N. Colville, Joseph E. Wildish, Milwaukee; E. O. Hand, Rev. A. S. Badger, H. M. Youmans and J. K. Lowry. It was decided to ask the Presbyterian synod to recognize Carroll college as the official school of the Presbyterian church. Although Carroll is generally considered a distinctive Presbyterian institution, it has never been given the official recognition of the Presbyterian synod and this will now be striven for. Rev. Carrier, the new president, is known as a hard working minister. He is a comparatively young man and is energetic and well fitted for his position. He formerly resided in Wisconsin. Dr. Walter L. Rankin has had charge of Carroll college since 1857 and has graduated hundreds of pupils who are now prominent in many parts of the country. He is widely known and loved by all who ever were students at the old and new stone buildings on College hill. Dr. Rankin displayed deep emotion yesterday as he spoke the words which severed his official connection. He said that his step had been carefully taken and was not the result of short contemplation. For many months, he said, he had felt that the increasing interests of the college demanded the hand of a young and energetic man. The building up of Carroll has been his life work and he has labored long and earnestly to put the institution on the firm basis upon which it now stands. He has worked often against the severest adversities and has visited men and women in many parts of the country in the interests of the school. He is deeply loved by the students, to whom the news of his resignation came as a severe blow, but was somewhat softened by the fact that he will still be among them as a counsellor and instructor. He will still be active in the internal management of the school. Rev. Carrier is a personal friend of Dr. Rankin, who was instrumental in securing his election as president of Carroll.

Kewaunce, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.]—While hunting squirrels, the 11-year-old son of Alphonse Haslet of the town of Red River, was killed by the accidental discharge, of a gun in the hands of his 14-year-old brother.

Appleton, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.]— In the settlement of the estate of the late Peter Smith, an interesting legal point came up. It seems that Smith adopted an Indian boy, Edgar Skenadore, according to the Oneida Indian ritual, and the question at issue is as to whether the boy is entitled to inherit a portion of the Peter Smith estate. He is a direct descendant of Chief Skenadore, which would make him in line for the chieftainship of the Oneidas under the old regime. The case was continued for one month. SAUK COUNTY SCHOOLBOOK WAR. Heath & Co. and American Company Fight for Privileges. Baraboo, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special:]—A lively schoolbook war is being carried on between the American Book company and D. C. Heath & Co.

BRANDT CONVICTED: GETS LIFE SENTENCE. Dodgeville, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.]—The jury in the Brandt murder case brought in a verdict of sane after two hours' deliberation.

A motion has been made for a new trial. Brandt killed his wife and her mother. A suit for divorce was pending against him. LAW IS CONSTRUED AGAINST DRUMMERS La Crosse Judge Decides Commercial Travelers Are Not Entitled to Preference Under Bankruptcy Act. La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.]— As a result of a decision of the bankruptcy court for this district, the commercial travelers at their next national convention will take up the question of asking Congress to see to it that they are better protected when working for a firm that goes to the wall. The local referee in bankruptcy, G. C. Prentiss, has decided that commercial travelers are not either "workmen, clerks or servants" so as to be entitled to pay in full for three months preceding the petition in bankruptcy not to exceed $100 a month, but must take their percentage of the wreck, as the rest of the outside creditors. The case arose under the proceedings in the Mons Anderson bankruptcy matter, the traveling men all putting in claims for priority. The judge decided against the priority, and so, in this case, the drummers will get only about 50 per cent. of their claims. ATTORNEYS CLAIM MORTGAGE IS VOID. E. W. Ratcliff's Lien Against Racine Knitting Company for $100,000 Is Said to Be Invalid. Racine, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.]—The mortgage filed here yesterday afternoon for $100,000, given to E. W. Ratcliff by the Racine Knitting company, is claimed to be of no account by the attorneys for the creditors. It is claimed that the mortgage was given in November, 1900, when it was desired to raise $100,000, but only $30,000 was raised, and of this amount but $2500 still remains unpaid. The plant at Ripon has been closed and will not be conducted by the receivers. There was some difficulty with the employees at the Beloit factory when they learned that the company was bankrupt. The creditors ordered that the receivers pay the employees all money due them and to conduct the factory as usual. TOY PISTOL GROUND OF DEFENSE Prosecution for Attempt to Kill Fails When the Weapon Is Marinette, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.]—There was a rather dramatic and amusing finish this afternoon in the trial of Andrew Nyholm on the charge of attempted murder. The defendant's attorney admitted that he had a revolver, but produced as the weapon in question a toy pistol alleged to belong to Nyholm's little son. The state had no evidence to prove the contrary and the defendant was acquitted.

Racine Man Convicted of Assault with Intent to Do Great Bodily Harm New Trial Asked. Racine, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.]—A jury in the case of the state against Frederick Voge rendered a verdict last night, finding him guilty of assault and battery with intent to do great bodily harm and not with attempt to murder as was charged. Voge's attorneys made a motion for a new trial and arguments will be heard tomorrow morning. CHINAMAN FOUND DEAD. Gambled with Borrowed Money and Suicide Is Suspected. Fond du Lac, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.] —Hoh Jin Wan, a young Chinaman who ran a laundry on West Second street this summer, was found dead in his bunk last evening between 6 and 7 o'clock, and the conditions surrounding his death are mysterious. Appearances at first pointed to suicide, but the fact that the chief of police and district attorney have been out of the city has delayed the investigation. Last Tuesday night he came home, according to a brother celestial, about 1 o'clock and went to bed. At daybreak his bunkmate, Sue Sing, spoke to him, but he did not answer, so Sue Sing dressed himself and boarded a car and went to Oshkosh and after giving a report to a Chinaman there, went to Neenah and returned with several others in the evening. Instead of going direct to the laundry the party stopped at the Treleven store on the corner and informed the clerk that Hoh Jin was still in his bed and probably dead. Dr. T. F. Mayham was summoned and after an examination pronounced him dead. His remains were removed to the Reader undertaking parlors and the body was prepared for burial. The concensus of opinion is that Jin Wan killed himself by taking poison. DIE IN A DEADLY BLAST. PASSESOVER THE STATE Waupaca, Wis., Oct. 5.—[Special.] —Five persons were killed near Sheridan in the tornado which struck this vinicity Saturday evening. The dead: MYHOLTZ, M. R. WOOD, MARK.

La Crosse on the Edge. La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 5.—[Special.]— Reports from the cyclonic storm which passed over this section late Saturday afternoon, indicate that the loss is much larger than originally estimated. The worst part seems to have crossed into Wisconsin some miles above here and La Crosse was on the south edge. At Trempealeau it was comparatively light, although small buildings were damaged in many instances. At Galesville many of the people who had been in bad storms before, predicted a cyclone when they saw the clouds coming and some went into their cellars. Several buildings were damaged slightly. At La Crosse several buildings were unroofed, including the Tenth district school. Fortunately no children were in it. At Onalaska fences and smaller buildings were badly twisted. At West Salelm and Bangor not much damage was done. Above Trempealeau and along the Burlington to Fountain City and above the storm was terrific. Telegraph poles were lifted out of their positions and hurled many feet away. Wires were all down in a few minutes. A special construction train was run from this city to repair the lines. In Eagle Valley the Reformed church was destroyed as also the houses and buildings of John Flicht, V. Henny and others. The entire prairie is devoid of inhabitable buildings. At Independence the loss of one life is reported and the wind created havoc. Amherst, Wis., Oct. 5.—[Special.]—Portage county was visited on Saturday by the worst storm known in its history.

It was twenty to thirty rods wide and cut a swath in this county about twenty-five miles long. Shawano in Wake Shawano, Wis., Oct. 5.—[Special.]—At the home of John Presuck, a farmer residing several miles from town, terrible havoc was wrought by the storm Saturday.

It is a village of nearly 2000 inhabitants. Reports state that three persons were killed and several injured. The damage will exceed $200,000. Tornado in Minnesota St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 5.—Several Minnesota towns were swept by the tornado Saturday. Nine persons are known to have perished, fifty persons were seriously injured, many of them fatally, and the property loss is heavy. Telegraphic and telephonic communication is so disorganized that reports from parts of the storm-swept district are meager. St. Charles, in Winona county, a town of 1500 persons, twenty-five miles west of Winona, was almost completely wiped out. Seven persons were killed and twenty-eight were injured. The dead: EBENS, JOHN, SR. EBENS, WILLIAM, his son. ADAMS, WILL. CRITTENDEN, OSCAR. JESSON, GEORGE. MURPHY, EDWARD. PETERS, EDWARD, of Dover, Minn. Among the injured were: Carrie Ebens, arm broken and otherwise hurt. Charles Crippens. Blankenberg.

The entire main street of the town was literally wiped out, hardly a business place being left standing. Forty-two residences were destroyed, and the total property damage is estimated at $100,000. At St. Cloud two boys, sons of Stephen Matter, were killed while seeking refuge from the storm. They had taken shelter beneath a string of cars on the railway siding and a switching crew backed another string of cars upon them, killing them instantly. Three Killed in Illinois.

The hurricane next struck the residence of Mr. Sherwin, where the three women in the house at the time were killed and Mr. Sherwin, who was about to enter the house, was seriously injured. At the residence of Mr. Cater the family escaped by going to the cellar. The Sherwin house was entirely blown away, and the women, who had not gone to the cellar, were blown into the yard. All of them died within two hours after the storm passed. Storm Reaches Canada. Fort William, Ontario, Oct. 5.—The storm here Saturday was the severest in years. There was a terrible gale at night and much property was damaged. One of the largest steel bridges of the Canadian Pacific's coal handling plant was blown from its track and wrecked, together with a large portion of the plant. The damage will amount to at least $30,000. Elevator "D" also was damaged and the smokestack on the Canadian Pacific roundhouse was blown down. LIEUT. NEWTON TO WED IN HONOLULU.

Funston as one of the American officers to aid the general in the capture of Aguinaldo. For the past year Lieut. Newton has been stationed at Honolulu. STOPS CHURCH SINGER Racine Pastor Interrupts Migs Susie Roberts in Midst of Ave Maria Song Not Appropriate. Racine, Wis., Oct. 5.—[Special.]—Although the church was well crowded with people last evening to hear Miss Susie Roberts, the soprano soloist of the First Presbyterian church, who leaves this week to join the Cochems quartette, there was a sensation caused by Rev. George Murray Colville, who arose in his pulpit as Miss Roberts was singing Ave Maria and raising his hands said: "I beg your pardon, but I cannot allow that song to be sung in this church." Miss Roberts had sung about one-third of the song when she was stopped by the minister; and she at once picked up her wraps and left the church. The other members of the choir and congregation were very much surprised at the action which they could not at first understand. It has been learned that some weeks ago Miss Roberts sang the same song and was informed by the minister that although he thought the music very beautiful, he did not believe that the words were appropriate to be sung in a protestant church. Miss Roberts has been, for several years, the leading soloist of Racine and the action of the minister last night has caused much grief of her friends. RALPH C. VERNON DIES. Former Madison Real Estate Man Passes Away at Kansas City After Cutting His Throat. Madison. Wis., Oct. 5.—[Special.]—Ralph C. Vernon died in Kansas City as the result of self-inflicted injuries. While visiting at his brother's house in the latter city, Mr. Vernon cut his throat with a razor and died at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Mr. Vernon was formerly a leading real estate dealer and auctioneer in Madison, and one of the leaders of the Dane county campaign against the governor last year.

Storm Causes Thousands of Dollars Loss in Manitowoc. BREAKWATER WRECKED. Manitowoc, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.] Thousands of dollars damage has resulted from the storm which has raged here since early last evening, being one of the most severe of the season. The high seas of Lake Michigan completely wrecked the 600-foot breakwater which has been under the course of construction on the lake shore north of the city for six weeks past and pile driver, the property of Franklin Brothers of Chicago, contractors, was carried away and lost in the lake. At the Little Manitowoc, at the northern limits of the city, the Two River roadway is completely submerged and the tracks of the Manitowoc & Northern Traction company interurban line are threatened, the water having approached within nine feet of the roadbed. The heavy rain has rendered the embankment on which the track is held soft and traffic over the line has been abandoned. The work on the seawall to protect the road cannot be carried on owing to the high seas and indications are that the road will be completely destroyed before long. In this event the traction company will be compelled to change the entire route of this line, entailing expenses of several thousands of dollars. The loss is already estimated at from $1200 to $2500, and much damage is still being wrought. Cloudburst at Tony.

The storm made a clean sweep at Gus Bolter's farm, not a building remaining. Mr. and Mrs. Bolter and their three children were seriously injured by the debris, but may recover. Thomas Vaughn's family was in the house, but escaped, while the father was buried beneath a wall. A few walls show where Theodore Meyer's house stood. His family escaped, but the three hired men were injured. William Atkinson's farm was swept clean of buildings. His wife and small children and a visitor, John Cassel, were buried under the debris of the home, Mrs. Atkinson being pinned down by a heavy sewing machine.

Waukesha, Wis., Oct. 7.—[Special.]— The fiercest storm and heaviest rain of the season fell here last night, continuing until this morning. Trees were blown over and general disruption was made in the business portion of the city last evening. Signs, street display cases and bicycles were blown many feet along the streets.

The barn was thrown over close to the building, but the building was not injured. AID TO GRADED SCHOOLS. State Supt. Cary Makes Apportionment of Annual Allowances—Reports Must Be in by Aug. 1. Madison, Wis., Oct. 7.—State Superintendent Cary made the apportionment of state aid to graded schools under the law setting apart $60,000 for that purpose. According to the apportionment, 130 schools, belonging to the first class, as defined by the requirements of the statute, receive each $294.42. This amounts to $38,274.60 for schools of the first class. Second class schools to the number of 183 receive under the apportionment each $98.15. The state contemplated that each second class school should receive $100 a year, but the appropriation was not sufficient. The total apportioned to the schools of the second class is $17,961.45. The aggregate of the apportionment to the graded schools of the first and second classes is $56,836.95. The inspectors are W. H. Hunt and George Drury. Their salaries are $1600 a year each, and they are paid, together with their traveling expenses, out of the graded school aid appropriation of $60;000. Supt. Cary says that next year reports must be filed by August 1, or state aid will be refused. HEBREW CONGREGATION SUED. Kosher-Butcher at Racine Alleges That He Has Not Been Paid.

What a Shooting Costs. Shooting rents in Scotland have reached record figures this year. Two thousand pounds for two months is considered a normal figure to pay for a moderate shooting, while some moors and forests fetch higher prices. Coignafearn, which was let in the '30s at £25, is now a £200 shooting. It is estimated that Scottish landowners will be enriched to the extent of £500,000 by the rentals of shootings for this season's sport, while salmon and trout fishings bring in over £200,000.—London Tit-Bits. —France spends 35 per cent. of her resources on military preparations. CONSUMES MANY HIDES. 287,165 Animals Required to Supply the Big Mayer Shoe Factory at Milwaukee. What becomes of the thousands of ides gathered together annually in this untry, and how are they consumed? is question may come to the minds of ny stock raisers, but few have any eption of the daily requirements of a single great modern institution like the Mayer Boot & Shoe Company ot Mil- waukee. This concern made into shoes last year the hides of 287,165 animals. Figured on the basis of 300 working days 2 year, the hides of mearly 1000 animals were required each day to keep the working force and the machinery ia operation. To supply the ee the trade during the last year, t were made iato shoes the hides of 41,585 steers, 21,492 cows. 38,952 calves. 335,756 goats. 46,620 sheep. 1,740 horses. 1,020 kangaroo. Uf all these animals were placed in single file it-would make*one coptinuous line, 273 miles long, or about the dis- tance from Chicago to St. Louis. The number of animals required to supply the hides for each working day, if lined up at the Mayer factory every morning, would reach almost a mile. 'To work so large an amount of mate- rial jato the finished product necessitated the employment of over 600 people all the year round. The wages paid would support every man, woman and child in a city of 3000 inhabitants. The Mayer factory has a capacity of 6000 pairs of shoes bey. day- It is locat- ved in'the greatest leather market in the world, and gets the first selection of hides, which is Ht pes responsible for the superioxity of Mayer shoes und the universal satisfaction given to the vast army of people who wear, and_ insist upon being supplied with, shoes bearing the Mever trade mark. Built a Fost in Canada. ‘Some queer blunders have been made at times by even the most careful of men, not excepting the engineers at- tached to the army of the United States. Everybody may not know that the gov- ernment at Washington once began to build a fort on British soil. This is now Fort Montgomery, near the foot of Lake Champlain, just northeast of —Rouse’s Point, N.Y. After the war of 1812 it was thought advisable to guard the en- trance to the lake and it was planned te Luild what was then considered a great fort, carrying three tiers of guns. After the work was well under way it was discovered. that, owing to an error of early surveyors, the forty-fifth par- allel, then the accepted boundary be- tween Canada and New. York, passed just south of the fort. Work, of course, Was suspended until in 1842 the territory was restored to the United States. The fort was dubbed “Fort Blunder” and though it was finished after the boundary question was settled by the Webster- Ashburton treaty it has never beep manned by more than enough to keep it in order and never armed. At present a sergeant of marines is stationed there, whose duty is to raise and lower the flag. £11 Tired Out. The weary, worn out, all-tired feel- ings come to ey- erybody who taxes \ the kidneys.

During the interval which had elapsed 1 have had occasion to resort to Doan’s Kidney Pills when I noticed warnings of at- tack.

The automobile, a twenty-four horse power machine, had been delayed several hours on account of losing the road. The car covered 1177 miles, an average of 15% miles per hour, It was driven by relays of chauffeurs. About $40,000,000 of the new steel trust 5 per cent. bonds were issued to members of the stock conversion syndi- cate at the ottice of J. P. Morgan & Co. Charles M. Schwab, the former presi- dent of the trust and one of the syndi- cate participants, had a cab to take his bonds away. One of his attendants in company with Oliver Wrenn, his private secretary, drove to the Morgan oftice, and they were kept busy taking bundles of the bonds from the oftice into the cab. Twelve big boxes filled with the bonds were taken from the Morgan office by the Schwab attendants. August Belmont, president of the Rapid Subway Construction company, sent a letter to Alexander E. Orr, presi- dent of the board of rapid transit rail- road commissioners, saying that it would be practically impossible to build the con- templated extension of the subway under Broadway from Forty-second street to Fourteenth street. Because of “the growing antagonism to any work involy- ing the further opening of the streets, he declared, “no subcontractor, in our opinion, would be willing to undertake the work for us ut anything like a rea- sonable cost.” Mr. Belimout’s letter touches only a contemplated extension, not the main subway nearing completion. A wireless telegram from Frank Cur- zon, the English theatrical manager, who is on board the steamship St. Louis on his way to England, was received by Manager Charles B. Dillingham of the Garrick theater, making an offer for the English rights to “Her Own Way,” in which Maxine Elliott has scored a sue- cess. Curzon saw the play, and just be- fore sailing on the St. Louis he tele graphed to Clyde Fitch asking for the English rights. Fitch answered with a wireless dispatch, which reached the St. Louis off Nantucket, informing Curzon that Dillingham already had purchased the English rights. Curzon immediately sent a wireless dispatch to Dillingham and the latter is considering the offer. As a result of a conference in the Wal- dorf-Astoria between Frank Curzon and T. W. Ryley, Hugh Morton’s “Glittering Gloriana” is to be presented here thir season. It has had a long run at the Wyndham theater in London under the management of Frank Curzon. The lat- ter has contracted with Fischer & Ryley for its presentation here, and he is to send his stage manager over to insure them as good a production as the Eng- lish one. A great change is to be made in the strneture of “Glittering Gloriana.” Now it is a farce, but for America is will be altered into an elaborate comic opera, with a large chorus and gorgeous cos- tumes. Some of the English company will come over. The performance at the Weber & Field matinee the other afternoon was nearly broken up by a Indicrous incident, and the action on the stage was perforce sus- pended for some minutes before the audi- ence would pay any attention to it. It oc- curred at that moment in “Whoop-Dee- Doo” at which Eva Stetson picks ap Will Archer for the purpose of spanking him. Just as the inked spank was im- planted where it would do the most good a small boy in the audience let out a huge yell of such pure delight that no one needed to wait for the explanation which he promptly made. “That's what I got yesterday,” he said, and the house joined in his yell. Blanche Bates, who was in a box, went into genuine hysterics and had to be carried to the foyer. An advertisement inserted by the man- agement of the Waldorf-Astoria for the return of $2000 said to have been lost by aspatron of the house gaye rise to the story that a man dining in the cafe left « roll of bills lying beside his plate while he turned to speak to a friend, and that ;the money disappeared. The facts are as follows: A man from the west, so prominent that the hotel people say they could not say what city he hailed from without virtually revealing his name. left downtown with a large roll of bills in his pocket. He made several purchases and on entering the hotel dis- covered that he had lost $2000 somc- where on the trip uptown. He asked the manager the best way of recovering the money and was advised, as he did not wish to advertise his own name, to let the hotel do it for him. . Sir Michael Herbert's death will prob- ably have a depressing effect on the so- cial season in New York and Washing- ton. At least, it. will indefinitely post- pone the wedding of May Goelet and the Duke of Roxburghe. Lady Herbert is the daughter of R. T, Wilson and the sister of Mrs, Ogden Goelet, the mother of the duke’s fiancee. Another detail which casts a shadow over the approach- ing season is the reported opposition of James J. Van Alen to his daughter's marriage. May Van Alen is engaged to Ralph Ranlet, a young man of excellent family and fair fortune, but the match does not meet the approval of Van Alen pere. To the dispassionate observer it would seem enough that the heart affairs ———_—_—_—_———————— of a young woman, coupled with paternal ofa om caused one tragedy. fast ‘year Miss Van Alen was reported en- | raged ta Robert Reading Remington. ute Van Alen opposed the mateh, the engagement was broken off, aud a month later Mr. Remington was found dead iv the Newport club.

This fact is dne ‘to the pre- posterously high heels new almost in uni- yersal yogue. The veffect is bad, except in the few mstances of women who really have dainty little French Teet. Most of the women, however, seem to care little about their physical conformities with fashion. If high heels are the thing, they must have them, even though they uecentuate the pudgy ankle and display the foot to a point of grotesqueness. An- other fad in footwear is to have shoes, stockings and gowns of the same color, This effect is always good when the heel is net too high, Yet another shoe that thrusts itself upon attention along Fifth avenue is made of black patent leather. with the front of it Jatticed like the lid of a cranberry pie, and in. which the stocking is given equal prominence with the shoe. This is much affected by the ladies of “the merry-merry,” who make the background for stage pictures.

That the Germans have come here to stay and that they have money to spend is shown by the extent to which they are aguniring ownership of their homes. A nt article of this series brought out the striking fact that, despite the recent arrival of many Germans on our shores, German-American farmers own their farms more extensively in proportion to their numbers than do farmers of Ameri- can stock, Even more striking are the a of German home ownership in the cities, Inethe nineteen cities of over 200,000 population 20.9 per cent. of the native American families live in their own homes against 28.1 per cent. among the Germans of these same cities.

Some cities show very surprising advantage for the Germans, and as a rule they are those cities in which the Germans are strongest. Take Milwaukee, for ex- ample, where one-half thé people are German. Nearly twice as many Ger- mans, relative to their numbers, own their homes in that city as do the native Americans. Very similar results are shown in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Cleve- land, Buffalo and other cities of strong German citizenship. A study of these facts must convince the reader that the German is an exceedingly prosperous American citizen—Mahin’s Magazine. aaa aay Cats That Grow Wild Over Olives. .“T have often wondered if all cats like olives,” remarked a Germantown woman who is very fond of the feline tribe. “All mine do, and I have six. Olives are usu- ally an acquired taste with the human race, but cats seem to take to them natur- ally—at least, mine do. An olive will set oF of them into paroxysms of joy. They will leave milk, or fish, or any other arti. cle of food for it, purring and rolling over it much as though it might have the in- Wxicating. effect of catnip before they finally eat it. I have often tried olives or other cats in the houses of friends, and have found them equally appreciative, only they prefer their olives cut up inte pieces, whereas mine take them whole Perhaps it is a common trait among cts.” —Philadelphia Record. cones ate Siiieesis teen ne. Pierpont, O., Oct. 5—Remarkable in- deed is the experience of Mr. A. 8. Turner, a man now over seventy-one years of age, and whose home is here. For many years this old gentleman had suffered with a very unpleasant form of Kidney Trouble, a kind that very often bothers aged people. He would have to get up four or tive times every night, and this very tiresome dis- ease was fast wearing him out. At last after having almost made up his mind that he would never be able to get relief, he stumbled over a medi- cine which relieved him almost imme- diately, and has cared him permanent- iy. It is so very easy to get and so simple that Mr. Turner thinks every- one should know of it. Every dealer in the country has it, and all you have to do is to ask for Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Mr. Turner says: “f can heartily and honestly recom- mend Dodd's Kidney Pills for they cured me. Several others in the fam- ily lave used them, too, and always with the best results, I think they have no equal.” Why England Imports Ore. ‘The large imports of iron ore into Eng- lund—about one-third of the total amount conusumed—is not due to any fear of the exhaustion of the supply in Great Brit- ain, but to a desire to save the non-phos- phorus iron used in the acid process. There is a large, almost unlimited, sup- ply of iron containing phosphorus in ¥cotland and in the Cleveland and Staf- fordshire mines. The imported ore is largely from Bilboa, Spain. ———_————- Sufferers from Lung Troubles. "The offer made elsewhere in this paper by Dr. Derk P. Yonkerman, 3186 Shake- speare building, .

Life is a great desire. From the ery of the new born infant to the sigh of the departing soul there is a reaching out, a longing after, a never satistied desire. for something beyond the at- tainment of the present moment. The soulof man is so constituted that it cannot rest satisfied in itself. It needs some object which it may desire as the “suinimum bonum,” the highest gocd, the all satisfying end, the final happiness. In order to live, one must desire. There is an old saying, “As long as there. is life there is hope.” We can change that and say just as truly, “As long as there is ‘hope there is life.” Without hope, without desire, life soon fails, because life Is but & boundless hope, a great desire, an unfulfilled quest. We know that it sometimes happens that the flickering light of life in some soul is kept alive by the power of an intense desire—that when the animal strength is all gone and science looks for the end there comes a hew power to the rescue of the soul st ruggling for a longer respite, and the spark of life is kept burning until the desire has been gratified, until the message has been given or the face of the beloved one has been looked upon once again ere the fainting soul falls asleep. And so it was with the life of" the world. Without hope, without longing, with- out this imate and never failing de- sire, the world would fall asleep and ali things would be as at the begin- ning. But when God created the heav- en and the earth, when in the eterni- ties of the past there came forth the power of life, there was wrapped up in that genesis the propelling, uplitt- ing, expanding force of a great desire. Neyer could that life remain silent or passive; it must, consciously or un- consciously, reach out, long after, work for some end in the eternities of the future. So “through the ages one eternal purpose runs.” Let us understand, then, that our life is made up of desires—that we are the creatures of a hope which passeth our understanding; that we are the product of all the past efforts of life to reach its final destiny; that we are the conservers of the ener- gies by which future generations shall be enabled to reach the goal of their quest. Let us realize that our happiness In this world, that our life in the future ‘world, that our contribution to the life jot the ages to follow, ali depend upon ia choice and direction of our pres- ent desires. Let us grasp this fact and we will tremble ere we choose the thing that shall be supreme in our thought and life. There have always been two ways by which man has tried to gain for himself the desire of life. The first has been by collecting and surrounding himself wich things that will minister to his physical well being. his ts the primary and lowest conception of happiness. We can trace it back io the earlier stages of life, and it probably arose from the instinet of self-proser- yation. The other way that man has tried to satisfy this yearning for a | more perfect life is the cultivation ot the intellect and widening of the hori- gon of kprowledge. Neither in the gratification of the physical nor in tite development of the intellectual as man found tie end for which he ex- ists. And vow we turn to’ the great in- terpreter of life, the one who Is him- self “the way and the truth and the lifes’? What did he make the supreme and all important thing in life? The answer comes without hesitation, the doing of the will of God. “Jesus saith unto them, my meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.” The world bas never seen a llfe so perfectly happy, because no ' other life has been so entirely in accord with the divine will. Jesus Christ came not only to reveal but to do the will of the Father, and becanse he gave himself in perfect obedience there must have come to him the perfect happiness. We can realize the desire of life, we ean attain unto perfect bappiness only in so far as we give ourselves to the doing. of the will of God. There fs no other way. Everything must be made subordinate and contributory to this one supreme aim, to do the will of God. Everything that conflicts: with oo e ust be given up without aoe ine are to enter into the Iness of life; such i Christianity. ich is the gospel of The message is that happiness and heaven and the fullness of life with ABHORS THE TURK.

New industrial conditions seem about to sie the line of the sexual division of Industrial tasks. Low far this will shift the mental and spiritual charac- teristics of men and women remains io be seen, The invasion of man’s in- dustrial and professional world by women must eventually have a very | marked effect on sex temperament. | Out of this complication of sex divi- sion of labor appears a few marked contributions peculiar to each sex. “They are never exclusive. Still they are more emphasized in the one sex than the other. First man appears as ‘ihe provider. To hunt the game and bring it home was his business, When agriculture and fadusiry took the place of the primitive lite man still contin- jued the provider, Upon him feil the responsibility. | Again, man has been the pioneer, In | the great historic migrations we have no instance of a woman leading the migrating hosts. In explorations man has been and is still the pioneer. Man ‘has been the pioneer in truth seeking and finding. Of some 600 religious sects only elght were founded by wom- en, and these are comparatively unim- LS etene In philosophy and metaphy- |sics, in invention, In the vast mental ventures which have transformed hu- man thought, with few exceptions, the leaders have been men. | Out of all this have emerged certain | not exclusive but characterizing vir- tues. First, man has excelled in ag- —s courage. Woman also exhibits courage, but it is passive courage. ‘The courage of the men is in action, |of the woman in endurance. Another i virtue of man bas ‘peen honor, It some- ‘times appears well battered aud frayed at the edges. No one says that woman also has not honor, but the life of man as warrior and pioneer developed a pecullarly masculine honor, which has been and still is very important tn social progress, It arose in days when laws were lax or did not exist—when /a man's word took the place of law. | It still exists In business. Man, the provider, the subduer, the pioneer. the-creator of new institu- tions, with the accompanying virtues | of masculine courage and masculine honor, has contributed in a special han) characteristic way to social prog- lrexss, With modifications man will coniinue to mold social progress in similar ways and through similar vir- tues. These masculine elements will affect the home, education, religion jam business and give to each 2 mas- | euline coloring which no merely feim- | inine coloring can supply. Those who jseck to make men and women similar lin tastes, habits and alms seek the impossible and the unprofitable.
