EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS. "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. TASKEGEE AND INDUSTRIAL TRAINING. Last week we stated that we would review Mr. Washington's recent article in the Atlantic Monthly. That review has been already written and will appear in due course of time. But a more important document has since then come into our hands and one which has never been given to the public. This is the annual report of Principal Washington to the trustees of the institution. We mark at the outset that these trustees are pretty fairly distributed over the territory whence the institute draws its supplies—Alabama in the South: Massachusetts and New York in the East, and Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin in the Middle West. Mr. Washington strikes the keynote of the success of his theory in the opening sentence of his report when he says, "Not one of our graduates has ever been convicted of crime or sent to a state penitentiary." In following up his report we find that the great majority of the students come from the Gulf states; that there are in all thirty-six industries taught in the establishment. In regard to recent criticism of the branches studied in Tuskegee, Mr. Washington has this to say: "The sound policy for an institution like Tuskegee Institute to follow is to determine the right and rational course and then to cling to it, whether it brings praise or blame." And Mr. Washington has certainly clung to his ideal, and moreover proved it a success. In replying to recent criticisms that the institution cannot fill the demand for competent household help in the South, or North, too, for that matter, the report has this to say: "There is always such a pressing demand for students trained at Tuskegee that the economic problems alone would prevent our being able to place any large number of girls in homes. If a girl finds herself in demand at $30 a month it could hardly be expected that she would take a situation in a home at a salary half as large." In evident reply to the assertion that agricultural graduates were rare from Tuskegee, the report goes on to say, that there are two main causes for this regrettable state of matters—first, that in its early years agriculture was the industry most disliked by the students and --- their parents, and second, that the buildings of the institution, sixty-two in number, had to be built by student labor, and therefore during that construction period, so to speak, greater preponderance was given to the building and mechanical trades. A letter from the manager of Dimmick Pipe works, Birmingham, Ala., to Mr. Washington, is quoted in the report and says, in part: We would like, if it is possible, to induce a number of your students to purchase their homes about our works and become regular workmen in our shops. The number of graduates this year from the normal and industrial departments was 113, and 500 others also left the institution fitted for service. Surely this is a great showing. In answer to the generally expressed opinion that the recent very generous gift of Andrew Carnegie to the institution rendered further contributions unnecessary, Mr. Washington shows by a tabulated statement that, including the income from this handsome donation, the total yearly receipts of the institution will only be $71,933, while the estimated current expense for the year is $155,000, leaving $83,000 to be raised during the year. Mr. Washington accounts for the depopulation of the rural districts by two facts—first, the lack of sufficient and adequate school facilities and the entire lack of police protection when under accusation of crime. "For every lynching that takes place in the country," he says, "a re or more of colored people leave theunity for the city. He concludes a lucid and evidently straightforward report with the following sentence: "All things considered this has been our most prosperous year. We should always be mindful of the fact that success brings with it added and serious responsibilities. Let us all pray the Great Father that the more abundant our success, the harder we shall work, and the more humble we shall grow, and resolve to keep true to the simple cardinal principles, which we have tried to practice from the beginning." We are only sorry that we cannot give the report "in extenso," but the foregoing is sufficient to make our readers aware of the fact which we have tried to impress upon them all along, viz.: That a great and good work, along the only lines at present possible, is being carried on at Tuskegee under the leadership of Booker T. Washington. A Good Advice. If you are troubled with kinky or curly hair use Ozonized Ox Marrow; it will make your hair straight, soft and beautiful.

A case in point is that of Mrs. O'Neil, 292 Fifth street, who, while herself working out by the day, trusted her household goods to a cute stranger, who betrayed that trust and left Mrs. O'Neil minus several of her possessions. The matter is in the hands of the police and we trust the scoundrel will be brought speedily to justice. * * * We are sorry to learn of the accident which happened to our talented friend, Mrs. D. D. Palmer, the renowned elocationist, last week. Just after a most satisfactory and elaborate entertainment given by her and her pupils for the benefit of St. Mark's A. M. E. church, she slipped on the stair of her residence and sustained a fracture of her leg, which will preclude her from fulfilling the engagements which she had made for at least six weeks. During that period of enforced rest we trust her friends will not forget to look her up at her home, 42 Eighth street. * * * There is no more welcome visitor to the Pioneer Limited express than the Wisconsin Weekly Advocate and no people are more welcome in Milwaukee than the crew of the dining car of that same.

WHITE HOUSE ACACIA SICK Has a Bad Case of Peritonitis and Itr Life Is in Danger. The white house gardeners are struggling with an acute case of dendrological peritonitis. The patient is a pretty acacia tree in the white house grounds, a few steps from the President's office. It is one of the exotic varieties brought to the United States by a naval officer fifty years ago at the request of Andrew J. Downing, to whom the country is indebted, with the late William Saunders, for many of the rare trees that are growing in the public grounds in Washington. The acacia has begun to decay along the inner tissues and its life is said to depend on keeping the air from getting within the bark. A coating of cement has therefore been given the trunk to make it air tight, and for fear that in its enfeebled condition the tree might give way to a storm it has been reinforced with iron bands and wire braces lined with rubber.—Washington Correspondence New York Times. —Wild roses are found on every continent in the world excepting Australia. CHURCH NEWS. The Paulist fathers will this week conclude their crusade in Milwaukee. They are to be congratulated on the success which they have obtained—a success in a large measure due to the marked ability and evident sincerity of the two fathers. Their success cannot be measured by the actual number of converts who have embraced the Roman Catholic faith by their ministrations, but the hundreds of men and women whom they have caused to think, to read, to mark and inwardly digest scriptural facts placed before them in a different light to what they had previously been accustomed. The Advocate is pleased to welcome to Milwaukee such a popular priest and preacher as Rev, Father N. D. Decker, whose portrait we have the pleasure to present to our readers. Father Decker has won for himself the regard of his people in Pewaukee and the congregation of St. Mary's is to be congratulated in having secured such an able and devout head in succession to one who had so long and zealously served them. * * * St. Mark's A. M. E. church on Sunday night showed not the slightest appearance of any internal feud. The auditorium was comfortably filled and Dr. Fenwick preached an able discourse from Isaiah xxxv., S, 9, 10. He divided his discourse into five parts, showing that there were five ways of passing through this life: the high way, the holy way, the plain way, the safe way and the joyful way, and brought vividly before his hearers that all these were as one, the way through Christ the Redeemer. In regard to the controversy of a few adherents of the church, the reverend doctor informs us that the disgruntled persons, vs., S. A. Robinson, I. W. Bess, Lewis Haghes, Walter Hawkins, L. H. Palmer, J. D. Cooke, Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. S. Tate, Mrs. A. Thompson, Mrs. Clara Livers, Mrs. Robert Gant and Mrs. Eliza Carr, are no longer members of St. Mark's, and that some of these are no longer trustees of the church, although they claim to be so. In substantiation of this claim the doctor quoted from the Book of Discipline, page 35, section 2: "No person shall be eligible as a trustee of any of our houses, churches or schools who is not a regular member of our church." This to us seems conclusive. Dr. Fenwick has no fear of the forthcoming investigation, as the underhand work of his accusers is well known to the committee appointed by the Des Moines conference a ttthe reverend gentleman's own request. Whether he was wise to do so or not is a matter of opinion and for himself alone to decide, but as we stated some time ago, so long as Dr. Fenwick preaches the gospel pure and undefiled and refrains from personal allusions in the pulpit, he shall have, as he deserves, our unqualified support. --- Rev. Dr. Kiehle of Calvary Presbyterian church Sunday night by special request redelivered the first of a series of lectures descriptive of his visit to the Holy Land some years ago. The reverend gentleman held his listeners enraptured for nearly an hour while taking them in imagination from New York to Genoa, where he left them till next Sunday evening. The lectures have been retouched, and are interspersed with lessons in things divine, drawn from the observations of the Christian traveler. To those who have not listened to these lectures on a former occasion, we would say. "By all means visit Calvary church Sunday evenings and spend a pleasant and profitable ninety minutes."

Davis, the sergeant at arms, keeps it as his rarest treasure, close hidden in the drawer of his desk. It was presented to him at the battle of Kelly's Ford. Va., when Maj. Davis was ordered to charge with his squadron into a patch of woods where the "Johnnies" were lying concealed in a perfect horseshoe formation, into the bow of which the troopers charged only to receive a deadly fire in front, on both flanks, and from rear. A death trap it proved to be, and naught was left to those who survived but to throw down their arms and accept the escort of the "Confeds" to their rear, and later to the hospitalities of "Camp Sorghum" and Andersonville. This peculiar thimble was made from the heavy breastplate of the major's belt and manufactured then and there. A shot struck the plate squarely in the center, at just about the pit of the major's stomach. Out of the saddle he went, and for a considerable interval lay dead to the world. In regaining consciousness the major felt sure that he was hard hit, but there was no blood. A close examination revealed a dark purple spot just behind the buckle and severe abrasion of the outer cuticle, but no puncture of the abdomen, as had been feared. When the plate was picked up there was an indentation in it so deep that one may insert the tip of his little finger and wear it as he would a thimble. It was good, stout brass, however. But for that the major might not today be bearing his wand of office in the great and general court—Boston Herald. THE REV. FATHER N. D. BECKER. Popular Pewaukee Priest Who Has Been Appointed to Take Charge of St. Mary's Church CHICAGO NOTES. The editor last week paid a flying visit to Chicago and was warmly welcomed by his numerous friends. Sunday he visited several of the leading churches in the city, amongst which were Quinn chapel, Bethel, Mt. Olive and Palestine. The pleasant visit to Dr. A. J.

The spinthariscope is an instrument invented by Sir William Crookes for the purpose of studying the wonderful reactive properties of radium. The instrument is composed of a very high power system of lenses set in one end of a tube about $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches long. At the other end of the tube a speck of radium is carried on a moving iron finger. The finger can be shifted across a fluorescent screen and placed at one end of the tube opposite the magnifying lenses at the other end. As the fluorescent screen and the radium are in close proximity the screen is subjected to a complete bombardment.

In the new method of the study and photography of birds, instead of attempting to go to the bird, the bird is brought directly before the observer—nest, young, branch and all. The nest, whatever its original position, is moved with its supports to a favorable place for study. A green tent is then pitched beside it, and under this perfect screen the observer can watch by the hour and accurately record the shifting panoramic scenes of nest life. One might suppose that birds would desert their homes under such conditions, and thus promptly end the matter; but, instead, they forget the old site, adopt the new one, and defend it with all their customary vigor and persistence.—Century.

T. C. Holland, in charge of the Salvation army colony at Amity, Colo., died at Marceline, Mo., after midnight from injuries received in a wreck of the eastbound California train on the Santa Fe railway at Dean Lake, Mo., eighty-five miles east of Kansas City, at 9:30 last night. Both lived several hours. Fifteen others were injured more or less seriously. Mrs. Booth-Tucker was on her way home from a visit to the colony at Amity. She left Kansas City last evening and was to have met Commander Booth-Tucker, her husband, at Chicago today. CLAIM POLISH HEIR IS PEASANT GIRL'S SON. COUNTESS ACCUSED OF PRETENDING TO HAVE BORNE BOY TO GET BIG ESTATE. Sensational Trial Now in Progress in Berlin—Many Persons of Aristocratic Birth Accused. Berlin, Oct. 27.—The trial of Countess Isabella Wesierska Kwilecki, belonging to a rich and aristocratic Polish family, on the charge of pretending to have borne a son over six years ago and presenting him as the heir to an estate at Wroblewe, province of Posen, consisting of 10,000 acres and having a yearly rental roll totaling $15,000, began here today. Count Kwilecki is charged with being an accessory. The accused are well known in the higher aristocratic circles of Berlin. The countess married the count in 1864, and bore him three children, all girls, the last in 1879. Then, the count and countess claim, the later gave birth to the son who is the cause of the present proceedings. This son is said to have been born in 1897. The prosecution claims that the latter is the son of a peasant girl of Parcze, in Austrian Silesia, who is present as a witness and as a claimant for the child. The countess pleaded "not guilty," and sweepingly denied all complicity in any criminal act. But the countess frequently was cornered by the judge. She was unable to give satisfactory explanations of many suspicious circumstances, and some damaging facts were brought out, including that when the countess came to Berlin to await her accouchement she said she did so because she could get better medical attention here, but she did not call in a physician and employed an obscure midwife. The countess, it also was shown by the testimony, intended going abroad for the accouchement, and only desisted from so doing upon representations being made to her that the collateral heirs of the estate would suspect her. The countess refused to see the family physician when he came from Posen to Berlin in order to attend her. Count Misjislaw Kwilecki, a member of the Prussian House of Lords, and his son, Count Hector Kwilecki, a member of the Reichstag, contested, as next of kin, the legitimacy of the countess' son, but after a sensational trial at Posen she was acquitted, and the countess and the count, her husband, continued to live quietly on the Polish estate, spending the winters in fashionable Berlin society. The prosecuting attorney, however, continued his investigations, and, it is said, obtained fresh testimony through a police examination of a woman who bore a child at the time the son of the Countess Kwilecki is said to have been born, and the rearrest of the countess followed. It is alleged that the countess had women of high rank as accomplices. These, whose names have not been disclosed, are said to have procured the illegitimate son of the daughter of a railroad watchman in Austria and at the proper moment to have brought the baby to the countess' apartments in Berlin. WAS A PLOT TO KILL MARSHAL ELLIOTT. Flushing Town Officer Murdered by One of His Own Deputies in Negro Deid Flushing, O., Oct. 27.—As a result of an autopsy made by the authorities since the shooting of Town Marshal George D. Elliott, last Friday night, it was today announced that John Wheeler, one of the five men deputized by the marshal to assist him in the raid on the camp of negro desperadoes, is suspected of firing the fatal shot. If the police theory be correct, Elliott was led into a trap. It was Wheeler who gave the information that led to the determination to make the raid. The contents of the shell that killed the marshal came from the gun placed in the hands of Wheeler and there are empty barrels as further evidence. Charles Bethel, another member of the posse, became suspicious and as soon as Elliott dropped to the ground he sprang at him and placed him under arrest. Tom Templeton, the supposed murderer, is still a fugitive. Eskimo Bibles in Use The Eskimos now have their own translation of the Bible, which has taken 150 years to complete.

New York, Oct. 28.—Benjamin Thackara was the first witness today in the trial of Walking Delegate Parks. Thackara was sent by the Tiffany corporation to see Parks to ascertain why work on buildings here was stopped. Parks said, according to the witness, "Tiffany is fined $500, and if you're not prepared to settle send Tiffany to me." Not in Business for Health. David Frazee, general superintendent, employed by the Tiffany studios, told of an interview with Parks in a saloon when Parks again said that Tiffany was fined $500. Later on the same day Frazee, accompanied by Louis Schmidt, treasurer of the Tiffany corporation, visited Parks in his own home. Schmitt asked Parks, the witness said, why the "fine" of $500 was imposed, and Parks replied: "Now you're fined $500 and you are getting off light. It ought to be $1000. I am not in this business for my health and you're getting off easy. Other firms have done business with me and if you don't wish to pay you can fight it, like some other firms, who changed their minds pretty quick." Schmidt, according to the witness, then said: "We have to pay this money in order to do business!" "That's about it," said Parks, "but it is for 'initiation,' that sounds better." "Does this money go to the labor union?" asked Schmidt. Had Enough to Retire. "It goes to Sam Parks," was the reply made by the accused according to the witness. "I have lost my health working for a lot of ungrateful —— who would throw me down in a minute if everything did not go right. I am going away soon for my health and after a few months you will not hear of Sam Parks in labor troubles. I've got enough to keep me comfortable during the rest of my life." Discussing the method of payment witness quoted Parks as saying he did not take checks and that he did not generally talk on those matters when there were two persons present. Schmidt and the witness then left Parks, saying they would have to consult with other members of the corporation about the matter and that Parks would hear from them later. Were Forced to "See" Parks. On cross-examination Frazee admitted that his side had sought Parks "because they had to." The witness stated that Parks said he could throw some work in their way and that they could employ non-union labor or union labor if they saw fit if they paid the fine. Frazee said he was mistaken when he swore the defendant said: "The money goes to Sam Parks," the words were "the money goes to Sam Parks and a few others." LANSDORF IN FRANCE. Russian Foreign Minister Reaches French Capital—Visit Held to Be of Great Political Importance. Paris, Oct. 28.—Count Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign minister, arrived here today. The visit of the count absorbs the attention of the public and the press, who attribute to it even more important political significance than to the visits of King Edward and King Victor Emmanuel to Paris. It is said in authoritative quarters today that the situation in the far east is not likely to occupy so much attention as expected since Admiral Alexieff, the Russian viceroy of the far east, has been given practically supreme authority over the Russian-Japanese situation. The Macedonian situation will be gone over and some important details of the Russian-Austrian note to Turkey will be considered. M. Delcasse is desirous of having France represented on the commission of control which is to carry out the reforms in Macedonia, though the note presented to the Porte does not contemplate representatives of any powers except Russia and Austria. Among the leading officials a strong feeling prevails that the main result of the visit of the Russian minister will be a strengthening of the bonds of the Franco-Russian alliance. This is considered to be most desirable, because small groups here and in Russia are opposed to the alliance. WILL DEFY JAPAN. Nooykriai Asserts Russian Troops Will Remain in Manchuria Until Russia's Views Prevail. St. Petersburg, Oct. 28.—A dispatch from Port Arthur says The Novykrial, a newspaper edited by a member of Viceroy Alexieff's staff, after reiterating the assertion that "the Russian troops will remain in Manchuria until far eastern affairs are settled in accordance with Russian views," proceeds outspokenly to lecture the Japanese, necessarily with the approval of the Russian censorship. "Now," says The Novykrial, "is precisely the proper moment for Russia to establish a political equilibrium in the east. The Japanese failed in Formosa because they do not understand how to colonize. The efforts of the Japanese to obtain settlements in Corea, having their own jurisdiction, would lead to the subjection of the Coreans and impair the sovereignty of Corea. "Japan has not explained the status of a European state and cannot be entrusted with the rights of the Euorpean pioneers of civilization. On the continent all that can be tolerated is the immigration of Japanese into Corea under control." TURNS PREMIER DOWN. Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia Refuses to Appoint Man Who Called Him a Fool. Victoria, B. C., Oct. 28.—A political sensation has been caused in British Columbia as a result of the refusal of the lieutenant governor, Sir Henri Joli, to accept the recommendation of the premier, Richard McBride, to appoint John Huston, Conservative member for Nelson, a cabinet minister. The lieutenant governor is said by Mr. Houston to have stated that his refusal was due to an incident which occurred in the Legislature last session when Mr. Houston stated that he considered Mr. McPhillips a "fool." MINE OWNER RUNS AMUCK Opens Up a Fusillade with Revolver in Tucson Hotel—Guests Escape Through Windows. Tucson, Ariz., Oct. 28.—Alexander Casey, a wealthy mine owner of Turquoise, Ariz., last night walked into the Willard hotel at Tucson, of which he is owner, and began to shoot in every direction. The guests escaped for the most part through the windows. The shooting attracted five officers who attempted to arrest him. Casey opened fire and seriously wounded Constable Pacheco. The other officers then began to shoot and Casey was seriously and probably fatally wounded. He had been drinking heavily. HE IS SAVED BY HIS CAP. Governor of Caucasia Has Narrow Escape from Assassination. STABBED THREE TIMES. Tiflis, Russian Trans-Caucasia, Oct. 28.—Prince Galitzin, governor general of the Caucasia, had a narrow escape from assassination today on the outskirts of the town. Three natives stabbed him thrice and fled, but were subsequently shot down by Cossacks. Cut on Head and Hand. Prince Galitzin was driving with his wife when the would-be assassins rushed upon the carriage, daggers in hand. Two seized the governor general and attempted to drag him from the vehicle, while the third man inflicted two ugly wounds on the prince's head and a third cut on the hand. A Cossack who was in attendance upon the prince threw himself upon the assailants. While a hand-to-hand fight was in progress, the carriage was driven off at a gallop. Ultimately the assailants fled, followed by a mounted guard of Cossacks who had hurried to the scene. The Cossacks chased the fugitives through the brush, firing constantly with their rifles. They killed one man instantly. The other two were shot down and died soon afterward. Saved by His Heavy Cap. After his injuries had been dressed, Prince Galitzin attended a reception given by the citizens of Tiflis. The outrage has produced great indignation, the governor general having become popular on account of his interest in the welfare of the inhabitants. Owing to the excitement, performances at the theaters were suspended. There is little doubt that the thickness of the cap worn by the prince saved his life. Due to Seizure of Church Property. Dispatches from Trans-Caucasia within the last month show considerable unrest at Tiflis, owing to the transfer of the Armenian church property to the Russian government under the decree of June 25. Demonstrations have been reported at various points, in which quite a number of lives were lost and the Armenian church authorities are said to have threatened to transfer the headquarters of the Armenian Catholic church to another country. Prince Galitzin, who was sent to his present post a year ago last April, was charged with having recommended the transfer of the church property, and several times his life has been threatened. BREAK THE LAW TO ENFORCE THE LAW. Law and Order League Burns "Joints" in Missouri and Prepares to Shoot Proprietor. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 28.—A mob, composed of persons supposed to be members of the Law and Order league, burned to the ground a "joint" at Dodson, Mo., about fifteen miles south of this city, today. The "joint" was occupied by F. F. McReynolds and the mob believed that he was in the building. Its members surrounded the place armed with rifles, shotguns and pistols. They poured kerosene liberally on the frame structure and applied a torch to it and it was soon destroyed. The burning of the building follows a bitter fight that has been made on the "joints" of that district. McReynolds was not in the building, having been warned of approaching danger. He had fled to Kansas City. Several "joints" in the township have been closed and their keepers arrested. DENIED IN WASHINGTON. American Ambassador Informs State Department That No Attack Was Made on Diaz. Washington, D. C., Oct. 28. The following was posted at the state department today: "Gen. Clayton, the United States ambassador at the City of Mexico, has informed the secretary of state that the report of an attempt upon the life of President Diaz yesterday is without foundation." In view of the precise statement of the attack on the President contained in the newspaper dispatches from Guanajato, published this morning, the wholesale denial of the affair by Ambassador Clayton is only to be explained to the satisfaction of the officials here by the assumption that the ambassador was himself in the City of Mexico and not at the scene of the affair and that he simply accepted an official statement issued by the Mexican authorities who had their own reasons for belittling the matter. PRESIDENT IS CORDIAL. Wisconsin Press Association and Their Wives and Daughters Visit Roosevelt and the White House. Washington, D. C., Oct. 28.—[Special.] —President Roosevelt received the Wisconsin Press association in his office shortly after 12 o'clock today. The visiting editors and their wives and daughters were introduced to the President by Assistant Secretary "Hod" Taylor. Mr. Roosevelt greeted each in his characteristic effusive manner, and each was made to feel most cordially welcome. The young men of the press association treated the President to a lusty college cheer, using the slogan of the University of Wisconsin. After the reception at the executive office, the Wisconsin party went over to the white house proper and under guidance of house employees were shown all the numerous private parlors of the mansion and the historic east room. The weather continues extremely fine and the Badgers are enjoying their visit to the utmost BLAMES NEWSPAPERS. Dowie Says New York People Don't Love Him Because of Vicious Attacks Made on Him. New York, Oct. 28.—John Alexander Dowie addressed a slim audience at the early service today on the "eleventh commandment," his own addition to the decalogue, the wording being "Love ye one another." Dowie said that he had come to New York because he loved the people of the city, but he said the people of New York did not love him because of the vicious and untrue attacks made on him by the newspapers. A "healing" service was held later in the day. MR. PAYNE'S DILEMMA. Most of the Officials Discharged or Indicted and Can't Fill Their Places Washington, D. C., Oct. 28.—The conclusion of the investigation of the postoffice department and Gen. Bristow's report have brought a new embarrassment to the administration. Every chief of a bureau in the first assistant postmaster general's division has been discharged, and most of them indicted, as a result of the investigation. Inspectors About to Leave. These positions are now temporarily filled by postoffice inspectors and Postmaster General Payne is looking about for new men to be appointed to the vacancies, but he finds that under the civil service rules he is helpless. There are only two ways in which he can fill these positions, by asking the civil service commission to transfer men from other departments, and by certifying to him their names for each position from which to choose. Under the circumstances by which these places were made vacant, the civil service rules are peculiarly embarrassing. The men who have been discharged and indicted have filled the postoffice department with scandals that have at times threatened the reputation of the administration. President Wants Good Men. The President insists that the men who take their places shall be above reproach and experienced. Postmaster General Payne has had men recommended to him from outside the government service; men who have become expert auditors and judges of supplies, and superintendents of large business details, who would be capable of introducing strict business methods in the department. But these recommendations have no weight with the government, because the postoffice department is under civil service regulations, with every position classified except those of the postmaster general, his four assistants, and their private secretaries. Neither the postmaster general nor the President can use any personal judgment in selecting the successors to Machen, Beavers and all the other officials that have been indicted. The postmaster general prefers the inspectors that are temporarily in charge, but they are needed in their own work. The President is a civil service reformer, but he must now reform the civil service rules he signed last week or suspend them in order to secure experienced men in the postoffice department. Barrett Wants Hearing. Harrison J. Barrett, who was disbarred from practice before the postoffice department, for alleged wrongful acts disclosed by the general postal investigation, has written a letter to the postmaster general under date of Baltimore, October 27, in which he expresses surprise that no specification of charges has been presented and no hearing has been allowed him. The letter adds: "My right to practice my profession is one of which I ought not and cannot properly be divested without a full and impartial hearing according to law. The government has preferred its charges against me in the courts, and I am ready and anxious to meet them; indeed, I am glad of the opportunity to put this matter in its true light before a court and to show that the allegation that I entered into an unlawful conspiracy with Gen. Tyner is as absurd as it is false." The preliminary hearing in the case of Leopold J. Stern of Baltimore, indicted for complicity in postal frauds, was concluded in the police court today, and Stern was held in $5000 bail to await the action of the grand jury. He furnished the bail and was released. HELD UP BUILDERS Stone Cutter Employes Conspire with Unions to Shut Out Competition. New York, Oct. 28.—In a statement to the public issued by the firm of William Bardley & Son, contracting stonecutters in Brooklyn, it is alleged that their employees, about 100 in number, have been ordered on strike at the instigation of an association employing stonecutters which has formed an alliance with labor unions connected with the trade in Greater New York. Made Big Profits. The firm charges specifically that members of the association regularly add 10 per cent. to all bids for stone work and after averaging bids the association's officers apportion the contracts; that this added 10 per cent. amounts annually to about $600,000, which is divided with the unions, the latter receiving about $60,000, the balance going to the association. The president of the corporation, E. F. Giberson, threatens an appeal to the courts if his men do not return to work. In his statement Giberson alleges that the unions were taken into the plan in order to force all the employers to become members of the association and that the walking delegates agreed to harass employers who refused to sign. How the Deal Worked. The members of the association, he alleges, also receive a greater benefit than that included in the bonus. All bids, he says, are submitted to the association. The average bid is then taken as a basis for the lowest bid, and the others are revised before they are submitted to the architect or contractor who has invited the bids. The association decides, according to the statement, who is to submit the average bid, in this way apportioning the work among its members. By this means the lowest bid submitted becomes from 10 to 20 per cent, higher than the work would cost the builder were it not for the association. It is said some of the employers admit having agreed to add 10 per cent on all contracts in New York, but deny having made any arrangements for dividing with the unions. EXPRESS DRIVERS STRIKE. About 400 Quit Work in St. Louis to Enforce Demand for Wage St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 28.—Drivers of all St. Louis express companies to the number of 400 went on strike today because a demand of a wage of 10 per cent. increase had not been granted. Policemen were on duty around the express company buildings at Union station, but there was no trouble of any kind and no express cars were delayed as a result of the strike. The express company officials say they have arranged to fill the strikers' places at once, and no delay in the delivery and transportation of goods is anticipated. SWEPT BY HEAVY SEAS. Kron Prinz Wilhelm Has Tempestuous Voyage—Captain and Seaman Severely Injured by Big Rollers. New York, Oct. 28.—The Kron Prinz Wilhelm arrived today after a most tempestuous voyage. At no time since leaving Cherbourg did the ship steam at full speed. Great combining seas swept her decks, carrying away ventilators and severely injuring Capt. Richter and a seaman. KILLED YOUNG LADY HE WANTED TO MARRY Alfred R. Eckstein Charged by Police with Mysterious Murder of His Fiancee. Allentown, Pa., Oct. 28.—Accused of the murder of Mabel Bechtel, who was found slain in the subway alley adjoining her parents' home yesterday, Alfred R. Eckstein, the favorite sweetheart of the girl, was arrested today at the Bechtel home, according to a statement by Chief of Police Eastman. Chief Eastman declined to say whether the man had confessed, but said he expected the circumstances of the crime would be made known later in the day. Soon after his arrest Eckstein was examined by the mayor, who also took the testimony of other witnesses. Bloodstains in Bechtel Home. The brothers of Mabel Bechtel are being held at the police station with Alfred Eckstein as witnesses. Chief Eastman and Policemen Whitehead and Jacoby made another search of the Bechtel home today and found bloodstains on the floor and walls of the second front bedroom and a bloodstained lathing hammer hid in the garret. The belief is that a family row occurred at the Bechtel home in which one or all of the brothers figured, and that one or more of them was implicated in the murder of the girl. Think Mother Did Not Tell Truth. Mrs. Bechtel's story that she heard dogs barking, and saw a team in the rear alley and two men carrying an object into an adjoining yard early on Tuesday morning is not credited. Neither do the police believe that Miss Bechtel was away from home on Monday. Every cab driver and livery stable owner in town and for miles around has been seen and every resort within four miles of this city has been visited and the occupants questioned. At no place had Miss Bechtel been seen and none of the liverymen had hired a team that might have been used by the person or persons who murdered the girl. SCHWAB AND MORGAN SEVERELY CENSURED. Receiver of Shipbuilding Combine Exposes Deals by Which Immense Profits Were Made. New York, Oct. 28.-The report of Receiver James Smith, Jr., of the United States Shipbuilding company, severely arraigns J. Pierpont Morgan, Charles M. Schwab, Col. J. J. McCook, and others for their part in the affairs of the wrecked concern. Receiver Smith states that Charles M. Schwab, J. Pierpont Morgan, Herbert Satterlee, Morgan's son-in-law, received bonds and stock for which no equivalent was ever paid the United States Shipbuilding company. His report charges that Schwab and Morgan alone received $20,000,000 preferred and common stock, for which they rendered absolutely no equivalent.' He recommends that their holdings be assessed at a fair estimate on their face or market value. He also characterizes as reprehensible the secret Morgan-Schwab-Harris-Gates & Co. agreement by which the $20,000,000 of Morgan and Schwab preferred and common shipbuilding stock was to be marketed in advance of other outside securities, and intimates strongly that Charles M. Schwab was acting simply as an agent for the steel trust when he paid $7,200,000 for the Bethlehem plant. The receivership report specially italicizes the questionable manner in which J. Pierpont Morgan dominated C. M. Schwab, as well as others, and inspired promotion in forcing the purchase of the Bethlehem plant for $10,000,000 first mortgage gold bonds—a lien on the Bethlehem plant—and $20,000,000 preferred and common United States Shipbuilding stock. OFFICIALS INVOLVED IN BIG LAND FRAUDS Secretary Hitchcock Completes Investigation of Pacific Coast Scandal—Don't Admit Senators Are Implicated. Washington, D. C., Oct. 28.—Secretary Hitchock has completed the investigation which he has been making into land frauds on the Pacific coast and expects to present his report to the department of justice by the close of the present week. "The report will not at present be made public," he said, "as that would defeat the end of justice." He refused to discuss the contents of the document, but continued the report that there have been extensive efforts to defraud the public, though grossly exaggerated. "It is absurd," he said, "to say that the frauds amount to $15,000,000 or anything like that sum. A million acres would be a large estimate of fraudulently entered lands and the government price for lands ranges from $1.25 to $2.50 per acre." The secretary also said that while the investigation would involve some officials of the government he had not intimated that members of the United States Senate are involved in the scandal. HONOR FOUNDER OF HORTONVILLE. Alonzo Erastus Horton Tendered a Public Reception at San Diego in Honor of Ninetieth Birthday. San Diego, Cal., Oct. 28.—Alonzo Erastus Horton, who established the town of Hortonville. Wis., and who gave it its name, celebrated his ninetieth birthday Thursday. One of the oldest and most influential residents of this city, Mr. Horton has been known for years as Father Horton because of his fatherly interest in the town and every institution connected with it. His birthday has always been celebrated as a town event, but the celebration this year was conducted on a much more elaborate scale. A reception was tendered him at the chamber of commerce which was made a public affair and attended by most everyone of prominence in the city. Father Horton arrived in Milwaukee, Wis., in 1836 and then went to the pineries, where he established the town of Hortonville some years later. He journeyed to California in 1851, finally locating here in 1867. CRUISER BALTIMORE GOES TO SAN DOMINGO. Battleship Receives Orders to Proceed Without Delay to Puerta Plata to Protect American Interests. Washington, D. C., Oct. 28.—Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling this afternoon sent orders to the Norfolk navy yard for the cruiser Baltimore to proceed forthwith to Puerto Plata San Domingo, to look after American interests at that blocked port. It is expected the Baltimore will leave tomorrow and she should arrive at her destination by Tuesday. Premiers and Their Riches It is somewhat of a coincidence that Lord Salisbury's will should disclose an estate within a couple of thousands or so of his father's, which was proved thirty-five years ago, at just £300,000. Mr. Balfour is much wealthier than was his uncle, the premier's income, it is said, being about £70,000 a year. The money came from his grandfather, who earned a vast fortune in India at the beginning of the last century by contracting for the navy, making as much as £300,000 in four years. When the income tax stood so high during the Boer war, it was stated that Mr. Balfour handed over to the inland revenue an amount equal to his salary as prime minister. Lord Rosebery is another exceedingly wealthy man who has been premier. Mr. Gladstone, on the other hand, was a comparatively poor man, although so skilled at finance. He was fairly wealthy at one time, but unfortunate investments in mines reduced his capital very much. At Hawarden he was merely-a tenant for life, the property belonging to his grandson. Lord Beaconsfield never had much money of his own, although his novels, it is well known, brought him in big sums. He had expensive habits, and the fortune which his wife brought him was more than welcome.—Men and Women. LATEST MARKET REPORTS. MILWAUKEE, OCTOBER 28, 1903. EGG AND DAIRY MARKETS.

T E PROPOSAL. The garden was wonderful in its fresh spring beauty, the delicately tinted lilacs, the fruit trees that were one immense bank of bloom, and the sunshine that played upon it all, throwing some of the colors into high relief and shading others, glowing richly in the soft shadows; tender perfumes hovered in the warm air, while fragile, delightful rustlings and whisperings were all that broke the silence. Jean de Gace, as he opened the gate, drew in a long breath of happiness. From where he stood he could see the green sweep of the lawn, the graceful trees, and winding walls; his heart grew light, and, smiling, he bowed deeply to this paradise. A white skirt fluttered near the edge of the little wood, moving with a quick, rustling motion; he recognized the parasol, the dainty rose-colored waist, and the white skirt, and as the owner of the parasol turned the corner he caught a glimpse of a beautiful face. M. de Gace felt happier and younger than ever; his 45 years slipped away from him as a dead leaf from its branch; he did not know what it was to grow old. He had married very early in life, and his wife, whom he adored, had died soon after the birth of their son; and since then, on account of the passionate eagerness with which he had thrown himself into his work, he had scarcely perceived the passing of the time. There was no touch of white among his brown hairs nor in his short mustache, and his step was quick and alert. But during the last year, since the Mainfroys had moved into the country house that adjoined his own estate, he had grown younger than ever; he had scarcely noticed that his son Robert had left for Japan, as attache to the French embassy, nor that Miss Maud, his finest mare, whom he had entered for the Oaks race, had suddenly gone lame. He was absorbed in one dominating thought that he was in love with Helen Mainfroy, and that, in all probability, should he ask her hand, it would be given him. Suddenly she called to him. "I have just been down to see your horses run; Norfolk is simply superb." M. de Gace was enchanted, not with the compliment bestowed upon his horse, but with the bright joy of Helen's smile. He looked longingly at her, delighting in each fresh aspect of her beauty and then, feeling that it was time for him to make some reply, he asked: "Is your father here?" "Yes," she answered, conscious of his emotion, "he is settling his accounts in the summer house. I heard the little tinkle of the bell by the garden gate, and, thinking it was you, I came to meet you." "How good of you!—Guess, if you can, who dropped down upon me yesterday, fresh from the skies, or rather from another world?" "From another world?" "Yest it was Robert, my young diplomat. I didn't expect him for another month, but he came through without stopping, and arrived without even sending me a telegram. He seemed to think it was an everyday affair to come back from Japan.' "I shall be very glad to meet him," said Helen, lowering her parasol. "One reason of my coming here now was to ask your permission to bring him to call tomorrow," said M. de Gace slowly. He was silent for a moment, as if to give more emphasis to his words, and then he went on, his words coming crisply and his eyes fixed upon the ground. "Robert is now definitely settled, his career is established, and he has nothing to do but to go ahead; he was still a good deal of a boy when he left for Japan, but he has come home a man; I do not need to worry any longer about him. And it is this fact that has decided me to take, with your father's permission, a step with whose nature I have already acquainted him." In spite of himself, the man looked up to watch the effect of his words; Helen was standing motionless, while the quick color played in her cheeks. Her little hand trembled upon the handle of her parasol as she traced vague patterns in the garden walk. M. de Gace longed to take possession of this little hand, to tell her how much he loved her and ask her if she would be his wife. He felt instinctively that the moment was divine. Had he been younger he would have done it without pausing for an instant, but certain ages have their certain bashfulness. He was silent, timid and trembling, as if he had been only 20. "You know we are always glad to see you," said Helen, simply, breaking the long silence. "Very well, then, I will come tomorrow. I will not disturb your father now." "Why, are you going already? We have scarcely seen anything of you, lately." "You are good to say so." Yes, Helen was good, she was beautiful and she was charming. M. de Gace kept repeating the words to himself as he walked beneath the tail, spreading elms, where, at the end of the driveway, a groom stood waiting, holding his horse. With naive care he constantly assured himself of her love, remembering how she always came to greet him, and her smiles and soft handshakes. Was it after all only sympathy that she felt for her lonely, agreeable neighbor? But no, she had blushed just now, she understood the hidden meaning of his words, and she had said "Tomorrow." Besides, he had already spoken to Mr. Mainfroy, perhaps Helen's father had told her? He stopped short, reining in his horse suddenly. "What if she only wants to marry me because I am rich and the Baron de Gace?" He drove the thought away with a quick exclamation of anger, knowing it unworthy of the girl he loved, and, touching his horse with the spurs, he galloped home. As he turned the corner, he saw his son Robert, flashing down the road in front of him, on his bicycle, and from his seat upon his splendid animal M. de Gace compared himself with his son, thinking rapidly: "On the whole, I am better than he." The next day, as the father and son entered the Mainfroys' parlor, they surprised Helen arranging her flowers. She had not looked for them so soon, and had not heard the carriage, and supposing herself alone for some time yet, she was still dressed in her loose, morning dress, her arms bare and her hair simply tied with a ribbon. M. de Gace uttered a smothered exclamation at the lovely picture she made among her flowers. "Mercy me, let me run away!" she cried, seeing them stand suddenly before her. "Before you go, please let me introduce my son," said the baron, smiling, "and please forgive us for coming so soon. We really couldn't wait." Blushing rosy-red, Helen lifted her eyes to those of the young man, standing so tall and straight beside his father. Their looks met and lingered. A moment later she had disappeared, closing the door behind her. "Great heavens!" cried Robert, "how charming she is, and how pretty!" "You think so?" queried his father. "Yes, indeed, and I understand better now what you seemed to be hinting at yesterday, dad; I assure you that if this is the young lady of your choice, I am more than ready to fall in love with your plans. But do you suppose she would be willing to go off into foreign lands? For with my career—" He was interrupted, for just then Mr. Mainfroy entered. "My daughter has told me, my dear baron," he began heartily, "and I understood immediately. You know what a daughterly affection she has for you and I know what a fine man your son is; we will speak frankly, will we not? We must wait a little to see how the young folks get along together, and then—" M. de Gace looked at his son, whose eyes were shining brightly, and, without a single muscle of his face betraying him, he felt the agony in his heart. "Thank you, sir," he said quietly, "for your kind words about Robert. I hope you will allow him to come here often, for I think they will please each other. Robert is a good fellow—" And he added simply: "And Miss Helen is an adorable young lady."—Francois de Nion in Washington Post. LUMBER SUPPLY. Prodigal Use Americans Make of Timber —The End in Sight. It is not strange that trees were once objects of worship, and forests considered holy places. Trees are benefactors in more ways than one—commercially valuable, they have a still greater value for climate, and are by no means negligible as a satisfaction to the esthetic nature. One thing is certain, countries that have laid sacrilegious hand on their trees have been cursed with crabbed age and barrenness. In speaking of our prodigal use of coniferous timber and the possible end of the supply, the Milwaukee Sentinel says: "The latest estimate was an incidental feature of a paper read by T. B. Walker of Minneapolis at the recent meeting of the American Forestry association, from which the Mississippi Valley Lumberman takes figures for interesting comparisons. Mr. Walker finds that the country still has a lumber supply amounting to something over a thousand billions of feet. "Figuring on a 2.2 per cent. annual increase in the cut, he concludes that the thousand and three billions in the country at large will last twenty-five years, but he makes no allowance for the growth of timber in that length of time, and at the end of the quarter century statisticians doubtless will still be figuring on the rapidly approaching end. "But the end is coming, nevertheless, and in a time exceedingly short in comparison with the probable life of the nation. Each succeeding estimate takes into account smaller timber than was measured in the last and every tree large enough to make a scantling is now included. That is the explanation of the level maintained in the supply as shown by estimates many years apart. Mr. Walker's estimate for the northwestern states includes, in fact is necessarily almost exclusively made up of, trees which estimators of thirty years ago considered worthless. His date for the end may have to be set back a few years, but not a great many."—Week's Progress. The Hesitating Monks. The following story of the Pope is told in the Italian papers. A deputation of the monks of some order had obtained an interview with him. According to the etiquette of the Vatican only cardinals are allowed to sit in the Pope's presence, and an invitation from him to do so is deemed equivalent to the promise of a cardinalate. Pope Pius X. is a plain man utterly indifferent to the etiquette of the papal court. He, therefore, begged the monks to take seats. They hardly knew whether they could venture to do so, and while they stood hesitating he said to them, "You do not, I suppose, expect me to draw your chairs forward for you?"—Truth. Chewing Gum for the Insane. Chewing gum is regularly supplied to inmates of asylums by the Minnesota state board of control. Its use is often found to have an excellent effect upon patients, soothing them during violent spells and enabling them to concentrate their minds upon various forms of work. Doubtless it is the muscular, not the secretory activity that produces the beneficial result. Insane people are nervous, and almost every one inclined to nervousness has discovered that there are forms of fidgeting which enable them to relieve the tension upon the nerves and help him to concentrate his attention. A Feat in Transportation. The French staff has been calling attention to some of its transportation work during the recent maneuvers. At the beginning of the maneuvers, 21,500 men, 700 officers, 600 horses and 40 wagons were entrained at Paris, and sent off to their destination within forty-eight hours. There was no interruption of regular traffic. Sixty-two trains were used, many of which had to be brought from distant points owing to the scarcity of sidings. The troops were entrained at six different places. The results of the change from steam to electrical power on New York's elevated railways are a reduction of cost per passenger from 2.24 cents under steam to 1.98 cents, and an increase in gross earnings of $400,000, accompanied by a decrease in expenses of $99,000. SUES HUSBAND'S PARENTS Lottie Mabel Baldwin Klein Asks $50,000 Damages. WANTS DIVORCE ALSO. Claims She Was Induced to Believe That Klein Possessed a Large Income. Beloit, Wis., Oct. 26.—[Special.]—Lottie Mabel Baldwin Klein, a young woman of Beloit, who was a stenographer at one of the big shops for a long time, and who was married to Garnett R. Klein of Louisville, Ky., on June 25 of this year at the home of her father, Almen Baldwin, at Clinton Junction, brought suit at Louisville against her father-in-law Edward A. Klein, and her mother-in-law, Ida F. Klein, for $50,000 damages for prejudicing their son and her husband against her and alienating his affections. In her complaint, the bride of four months tells a story of ill treatment which tends to show that all southern people are not filled with that reputed chivalry of the class and that the much-boasted southern hospitality has failed entirely at least in one home in Louisville. Young Klein was employed as draftsman at the Fairbanks Morse manufacturing plant in this city just before the time of the wedding. He represented himself to be a person of fine income and associated with wealthy families. He was honest when he said he was a member of a wealthy family in Louisville, but when the bride left Beloit to go to Louisville, she found a very limited income and that he depended almost entirely upon his parents for support. She filed papers for separation and alimony. The news of the young woman's trouble is a great shock to her Beloit friends, as she was well liked by many. The trouble was all caused, said Mrs. Klein today to a representative of The Evening Wisconsin in Louisville, by the unreasonable anger of my mother-in-law toward me, because I did not know how to do housework. "When I married I was a stenographer and although I did not know much about housekeeping, I told my husband that I was willing to learn. It was this that caused the friction which, almost from the first, developed into ill feeling against me. Finally my husband began to act bitterly toward me, and it was not long before his treatment became very harsh. He told me once that he was going to take me over to Jeffersonville, rent a room and make me live on bread and water. "Again he said that he was going to take me to the 'negro' quarters and make me stay there, and finally he tried to induce me to go home. He offered to procure transportation to my home in Wisconsin for me, but I declined to go. I told him that I was perfectly willing to go anywhere away from his home with him, but that I would not go alone." "Matters became so bad that I wrote to my father and told him the whole story. The letter reached him all right, I took it to the mailbox myself and posted it. But his answer did not reach me. After several days passed I wrote him again and then he came directly to Louisville. TROUBLE IN THE AIR. Looks as Though Last Year's Difficulties Among Racine Women's Clubs May Be Revived. Racine, Wis., Oct. 26.—[Special.]—There are indications that the old enmity between the two leading women's clubs here, the Woman's club and the Twentieth Century club, may break out afresh, owing to the attempt to redistrict the state. The Woman's club, it is said, refuses to join the district federation, and there is a struggle for supremacy between the two clubs. It will be remembered that after the Ashland convention a year ago, Mrs. Katherine Pierce was charged, by the Woman's club, with acting in a manner considered disloyal to the club, and she was summoned to appear before the tribunal of the club and show why she should not be dropped from membership. Mrs. Pierce, it will be remembered, secured an injunction restraining the club from further action. The case came into court and Mrs. Pierce received a letter informing her that no charges had been made and that she was still a member of the club. It is said now, that Mrs. Pierce will not allow the matter to drop without a full explanation to the public, and that further developments may be expected. SOPHOMORES APOLOGIZE. Immediate Amends Made by Appleton Students for Recent Misconduct in Posting Challenge. Appleton, Wis., Oct. 26.—[Special.]—President Samuel Plantz of Lawrence university, addressing the students assembled in chapel this morning, demanded a personal apology from every member of the sophomore class who was implicated in the outbreak of last Friday night, when libelous placards were posted, and quantities of red paint spilled about the university campus. Failure on the part of the undergraduates to comply with this command will result in punishment being meted out to them. This punishment will include a liberal number of demerit marks or suspension. Sophomores to the number of twenty made immediate amends for their misconduct. PLEADED GUILTY; ARE SENTENCED Harris and Stoner Sent to State Prison from Whitehall. Whitehall, Wis., Oct. 26.—[Special.]—Samuel Harris and Merritt Stoner, who have been in jail here since July awaiting trial upon the charge of assault with intent to rob and steal, pleaded guilty in the circuit court and were sentenced to serve a term of one year each in state prison. The crime was committed at Galesville, in this county, July 10, and their victim, Charles W. Bidwell, a young man, was struck down in a dark alley and relieved of $8 and a jackknife. Harris served a term in state prison about fourteen years ago for burglary. He is past 50 years of age. Stoner is 24. OLD-TIME TELEGRAPHER DEAD. Myritus W. Miller, Formerly with Associated Press, Passes Away. Racine, Wis., Oct. 26.—[Special.]—Myritus W. Miller, a well known telegraph operator, for many years with the Associated Press in various parts of the country and recently appointed manager of the local office of Ernest E. Jones company, brokers, of Chicago, died early this morning from a complication of diseases. He has been in failing health for some time. He leaves a widow and three children German-American Is Known To Be Sound Yet Rumors Frighten Many Women and Farmers. La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 26.—[Special.]—A small run was started upon the German-American bank Saturday by a rumor that the bank had been investing in railroad stocks. The run was continued this morning, many farmers coming in as early as 7 o'clock, and by 10 o'clock, when the bank opened, the streets were lined with depositors, a majority being women, all clamoring to get in when the doors opened. Only the efforts of the police detail kept many from being injured by crushing and trampling. At times today there have been 200 people in line. The receiving teller, however, has had a very busy time of it, taking deposits made by La Crosse business men, who know the institution is sound. The bank has over $300,000 in sight on its counters. The women in many cases have been frantic in their efforts to get at the paying teller's window, actually fighting their way, in many instances crying and wringing their hands. It is learned today that besides the false railroad rumor, there was a rumor started that the bank was unsound because of its refusal to honor checks paid the farmers by a local concern which has gone out of business and has no deposits there. The bank is considered sound by all conservative business men and many are drawing money from other banks to help the German-American, although the latter has not asked aid. FORMER MILWAUKEEAN IS DEAD AT PORTAGE. Henry E. Tenny, a Prominent Attorney, Journalist and Publicist, Passes Away, Aged 81 Years. Appleton, Wis., Oct. 26.—[Special.]—Henry E. Tenny, for many years a prominent attorney and publicist of Wisconsin, died at his home here this morning, aged 81 years, after having been retired from active work for several years. He was born in 1822 at Grand Isle, Vt., learned the printer's trade and later graduated from the University of Vermont. He came west in 1845 and published a paper at Galena, Ill., for a time and then removed to Milwaukee, where he practiced law, after studying with Levi Hubbell. He also did much newspaper work in Milwaukee. He was married in Milwaukee in 1852 to Hannah Schenckberg, who still survives him, together with a son, H. W. Tenny, Jr., a Chicago attorney, and daughter, Anna Tenny of Appleton. He lived for a short time in Chicago, where he went from Madison, and since 1879 has lived in Appleton. The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon from his home, and will be conducted by Dr. Henry Lummis of Lawrence university. CHIEF'S DARING RESCUE. Head of Ashland Fire Department Saves Woman's Life—Loss in Shores Block Fire. Ashland, Wis., Oct. 26.—The Shores block, used both for business purposes and as a rooming place, was completely destroyed by fire Sunday morning. The loss will foot up in the neighborhood of $150,000, with about $30,000 of insurance. The principal losses are: Warner Brothers, druggists, $15,000; A. W. Bowron, printer, $5000; Brazilton conservatory, $2000; Sanborn & Sanborn, attorneyse, $2000; E. A. Shores, owner of the building, $75,000. Besides these all of the 150 roomers in the building lost all their personal effects. John Savage of Savage Brothers, lumber inspectors, was found in his room in the third story unconscious and was carried to the ground by firemen. The most thrilling rescue was that of Mrs. Weeks, who, with her husband, occupied a third-story room. A ladder was raised to her room, but it was found to be short. Fire Chief Schaetzle stood on top of the ladder and Mrs. Weeks, who was clinging to the window sill, was just able to reach his shoulders with her foot. The chief called out to her not to jump, fearing that she would cause them both to drop to the pavement, but she collapsed and fell on his head and shoulders. The chief swayed for a moment, but succeeded in grasping a rope and steadied himself until he could reach the ladder and brought her down safely. REFUSED MEDICAL AID. Racine Christian Scientist Dies—Doctor's Help Refused Almost with His Dying Breath. Racine, Wis., Oct. 26.—[Special.]—Frank M. Richardson, manager of the sales department of the Racine Sattley company and a leading Christian Scientist of the state, died last night after an illness of about a week. Death was due to typhoid pneumonia. Until Friday night no physician was allowed in the house. Late Friday night a physician was summoned but the man refused to take medicine. EATS SILVER POLISH. Janesville, Wis., Oct. 26.—[Special.]—A week ago Miss Stella Pearl, 15 years old, asked permission from her parents to attend a dance. The request was refused and today the girl is dead, the result of having taken an ounce of silver polish with intent to commit suicide because of her disappointment. SHOT BY HIS COMPANION. Fatal Hunting Accident Near New Rich mond-Minneapolis Man Killed. New Richmond, Wis., Oct. 26.—[Special.]—While hunting Charles Schusston, aged 20, whose home is in Minneapolis, was accidentally shot by a companion, John Cienoski, about the same age, whose home is in Glenwood, Wis. Both are employed as farm hands on the farm of Thomas Walsh in Erin. Schusston lived about four hours. Before he died he cleared Cienoski of all blame. IUDGE HASTINGS TO HEAR CASE. Harroun Murder Trial at Stevens Point Put Over One Day. Stevens Point, Wis., Oct. 26.—[Special.]—An affidavit of prejudice was filed by the defendant in the Harroun murder case today, and it was stipulated that Judge Hastings of Green Bay be called. He is expected tonight. MARSHFIELD HUNTER KILLED. John Lofy Accidentally Shoots Himself Through Abdomen. Marshfield. Was., Oct. 26.—[Special.] -A farmer living near the city named John Lofy, aged 22, single, accidentally shot himself through the abdomen while hunting Sunday. Death resulted in a few hours. FEAR A RIOT IN BUTTE. Trouble Expected When Army of Idle Miners Gets Hungry. SPECIAL POLICE ON GUARD. Request Governor to Call an Extra Session of the Legislature to Remedy Present State of Affairs. Butte, Mont., Oct. 27.—All chance of an immediate settlement in the war between the big copper interests composed of the Amalgamated Copper company on one side and F. Augustus Heinze on the other was dispelled in a statement issued Monday night by President William Scallon, head of the Amalgamated Copper interests in Montana. Close Saloons and Gambling Houses. The authorities are taking every precaution to prevent any disorder and a small army of special police will soon be on duty. The saloons and gambling houses of the city will be closed at once. The officials of the city, though they have everything under control now, fear the result when an army of idle men such as is at the present traversing the streets of the city grows hungry. Mr. Scallon's statement followed a proposal made by Heinze to a mass meeting of 15,000 miners of Butte. Mr. Heinze stated he would receive any proposition from the miners' union looking to a settlement of the present trouble and would in return state his position. Statement of President Scallon. The statement says that should he in his proposition be accepted it would mean the distribution among Heinze and his associates of property worth $281,000, and continues: Before the clerk of the supreme court in 1900 Mr. Heinze, upon his oath, testified that his thirty-one thirty-sixths interests in the Nipper was worth $5,000,000. If his statement under oath was anywhere true it would follow that according to Mr. Heinze, sworn testimony, he would get in addition to the enormous sums above mentioned, an interest worth, according to him $808,450. But there is something more important yet involved in his conditions. He must get deeds from the Anaconda and Parrott companies assuring him title to all the veins and ore bodies within the Nipper claim; in other words, granting to him all he claims under the Nipper title. Under that he could lay claim to a large portion of the Neversweat and Parrott mines. The value of the property which Mr. Helnze thus covertly seeks to obtain by this offer cannot be stated offhand but it is enormous. For his little 100 shares of Boston and Montana stock and his eighty shares of Parrott stock, MacGinnis, Helnze & Company would get millions of dollars. Note also that the market value of the MacGinnis stock, judging from the present quotations of the Amalgamated and Parrott, is less than MacGinnis paid for it. These figures were, of course, not explained or stated by Mr. Helnze in his printed offer. In addition to that he makes another condition which is equally an insult to the miners' union, as well as to myself. He requires the miner's union to obtain from Mr. Scallon and Mr. Rogers an agreement that the Amalgamated properties shall be worked continuously for one year and that wages shall not be cut for three years, as though the miner's union needed any whip or driving by Mr. Helnze to protect their rights, and as though there was any danger or thought on their part of an danger or as though they needed this self-constituted protector. I think the miner's union know they do not need his protection. I think they know that their wages are not in danger for three years or at all. Neither Mr. Rogers nor myself would stand for any cut of wages. WILLIAM SCALLON. Governor Will Take a Hand. Anaconda, Mont., Oct. 27.—Over 2000 smelter men held a mass meeting last night and discussed the Amalgamated-Heinze situation. Resolutions were adopted calling on Gov. Toole to convene an extra session of the Legislature to enact laws remedial to the present state of affairs. In response to a telegram asking him if he, with Mr. Scallon, was willing to meet a mediation committee consisting of Senators Gibson and Clark, Gov. Toole and J. J. Hill, Augustus Heinze telegraphed to President Herbert Strain of the Great Falls Business Men's association: "I shall be glad to do anything I equitably can to relieve the situation." The substance of the replies of Mr. Scallon and Mr. Heinze was telegraphed to Mr. Hill and he was asked to fix a date when he could meet those gentlemen and other members of the committee in Butte. It was late when the telegram was sent to Mr. Hill and his answer has not yet been received. STEAMERS EXPOSED TO WINTER'S PERILS. Six Alaska Packets, Valued with Cargoes at $2,000,000, Icebound in Yukon River. Seattle, Wash., Oct. 27.—A special from Dawson says that steamers and cargoes valued at more than $2,000,000 remain exposed to the perils of the Yukon ice and frosts with little prospect of being got to places of safety for the winter. Some steamers have full cargoes of perishable provisions and these are certain to be ruined. The steamers Columbian, Victorian, Zelandian and Bailey are stuck on the bar 100 miles above Dawson and the big packet Will H. Ison, built at a cost of $200,000. is caught on the bar at the mouth of the Yukon. All are in danger of being crushed by the ice. The cold storage steamer Kerr, with $150,-000 worth of refrigerated meats, is stalled below Eagle and will not get through this year. The gold output of the Klondike for the past season is now figured at $10,-400,000. WIDOW GETS THE ESTATE Clause in the Will of E. L. Burdick Cut ing Off His Spouse Declared Void. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 27.—Surrogate Marcus handed down a decision today by which Mrs. Burdick, widow of Edwin L. Burdick, will gain full control of the property left by her husband. By the decision the most important clause in the instrument is declared void. The will was drawn after the divorce proceedings were begun by Mr. Burdick. Under its provisions Mrs. Burdick was cut off without a cent. SHOT TO DEATH BY MOB. William McAlpin Mortally Wounds Farmer in Settling a Quarrel and Falls Victim to Angry Mob. Jackson, Miss., Oct. 27.—Renewing an old quarrel, William McAlpin mortally wounded a farmer named Little, in Smith county. McAlpin was afterwards shot to death by a mob. SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

As usual, football is more a game of the mangle than the gridiron. The latest big fish story comes from St. Johns, N. B. It is 110 feet long—the fish—a whale. Chronic jokers will please take notice that suburban towns are clamoring for Milwaukee water. New York is undoubtedly snickering at the idea of a "restoration host" from the vicinity of Chicago. Mrs. Nation lacks the money-making ability of Elijah Dowie, but she cuts an equally dignified figure in public. The first ice of the season chills the ice man. Later on the ice will be thick enough to cause a reaction and a glow over next summer's prospects. Young Corbett's mill with Callahan, in Philadelphia, was hot enough to suggest what old Corbett received when he exchanged thumps with Jeffries in San Francisco. It must not be inferred, from the fact that Prophet Dowie and his host have transferred their campaign to the city of New York, that there are no unregenerate left in Chicago. The Wichita track has been shown to be 2 4-5 feet longer than a mile, and therefore the horsemen who are envious of Cresceus must get out their windshields and automobiles. --- If the Wisconsin Federation of Woman's Clubs could find a device that would abate the nuisance of tiresome speakers it would earn the gratitude of all Americans irrespective of sex. The tented shows having folded their apparatus for the season, their light-fingered followers are putting some post-season work with the Dowie circus and among tae Rubes of New York. --- The fact that California will have 86,000,000 pounds of raisins this year, as against 80,000,000 last year, insures plenty of raisins for cake. Now all one has to do is get the cake to hold the raisins. Dan Patch's new pacing record of 1:56 $ \frac{1}{4} $ is a mark that will stand a good deal of stretching of leather by harness horses. It will always require a small space of time to cover a mile on hoofs, with a sulky for a tender. The famine in the coal business just now is one of demand. Those who were frightened by predictions of a shortage have full bins, while those who refused to permit themselves to be stampeded are satisfied that they can get their coal as they require it. Many consumers are still burning Pocahontas soft coal in preference to anthracite. --- The trial trip of the San Francisco airship was characteristic. Like all gas-bag machines, it was baffled by air currents, and when the aeronaut came down he had to be fished out of the water by lifesavers. Aerial navigation will not affect rail or steamship rates until there is more certainty as to the courses of the airships and as to the manner of their landing. The Audacious Jackass. A Scilly donkey has been astonishing the islands by a remarkable display of courage and resolution. According to the report, this donkey, while grazing near the sea at Banks Carn, noticed a seal on the beach. The dauntless animal at once seized the seal in its mouth, and trotted with it a quarter of a mile inland. The seal, when taken from its captor and measured, was found to be three feet six inches long, and to weigh forty-five pounds.—London Daily News. NO STATE TAX THIS YEAR. For the First Time Since 1884 a Levy Is Found Unnecessary. --- Madison, Wis., Oct. 29.—[Special.]—For the first time in the history of the state since 1884 no tax for the support or maintenance of the state government or any of the state institutions will be levied this year. The condition of the state treasury is such that all charges against it for the purposes of the administration of the government are amply provided for by the money on hand. There was in the general fund on the first day of October $1,515,701.06. By reason of this fact the governor, secretary of state and state treasurer, by authority of law, have been enabled to wipe out the state tax and relieve the people of the state from its burden. From this it follows that the only tax to be levied generally upon the people of the state is that which is solely for the benefit of the common schools. Seven-tenths of a mill on the state valuation is directed by the statute to be levied, after deducting therefrom $200,000 of the license moneys received by the state from the railroads. This tax to be paid by the people amounts to the sum of $1,027,220. It is true that in form it might be called a state tax; in fact, it is not so. It pertains in no way to the expense of administering the state government or any or its institutions. It includes no part of the large appropriations to the state university and the normal schools, nor of the $100,000 coming to the free high schools, nor the $60,000 to be paid to the graded schools under appropriations of the last Legislature. It is collected by the state, not for its benefit or use, but solely for the support, maintenance and efficiency of the common school system of the state. No part of it is to be expended for any other purpose. It is collected for the benefit of the schools and turned over to the different counties of the state to be distributed by them. The appropriations to the state university, the normal schools, free high schools, graded schools, and all of the institutions made by the last Legislature are provided for and discharged by moneys now on hand, or to come to the treasury from other sources than the people this year. Apportionment to Counties. Besides this, not only the sum collected by this tax is paid over to the different counties for the support of the common schools, but the counties will receive in addition the sum of $375,164, making a total to be paid by the state to the counties for the support of the common schools of $1,402,384, as follows: From the tax for common schools. $1,027,220 From license fees ..... 200,000 From the school income fund..... 175,164 Total to be paid by the state to the counties ..... $1,402,384 This important action of the governor, secretary of state and state treasurer has relieved the people of the state of the burden of a direct tax in the sum of $942,570. Had not this action been taken, this sum would have been collected of the taxpayers of the state by direct taxation. To show what this means the taxpayers of Milwaukee county, which paid into the state treasury for state taxes, including its school taxes, last year $539.-727.50; this year it will only pay the sum of $229,348.48, which is nothing but the school tax, and, as before said, goes directly back to the counties for the use of the common schools, and in the case of the great majority of the counties with a substantial addition. This great saving to the taxpayers has been made without crippling the state treasury or the danger of creating any deficit which would have to be met by levying a tax in the future. Adopt Resolutions. The following is a copy of the resolution wiping out the state tax as adopted by the governor, the secretary of state and the state treasurer: Whereas, it appears that on the 1st day of October, 1903, there was in the general fund a balance of $1,515,701.06, and Whereas, it is estimated that there will Whereas, it is estimated that there will be a balance in said general fund on January 1, 1904, of $950,701.06, and Whereas, it is estimated that the receipts to said general fund during 1904 will be $3,653,554.73, and Whereas, it is estimated that the disbursements for all purposes for the year 1004 will be $3,644,525.94, and Whereas, the entire state tax to be levied for the ensuing year for interest on state indebtedness, and to free high schools, and to graded schools, support of the university, support of the normal schools, special university tax and capitol building fund amount to the sum of $942,570, and Whereas, said sum of $942,570 can, without detriment to the public service, be transferred from the general fund and applied as a state tax levy to discharge the payment of the items above mentioned, and thereby obviate the necessity of a levy of any state tax for such purposes; now therefore, be it Resolved, that we, the undersigned, governor, secretary of state and state treasurer, in pursuance of section 10,600 of the Wisconsin statutes of 1898, do hereby trans- WOMAN IN THE CASE Robbers of Superior Postoffice Are Thought to Have Had Feminine Accomplice. Superior, Wis., Oct. 29.—[Special.]—There is a woman in the case of the robbery of the Superior postoffice of $15,000 worth of stamps. That is the conclusion to which the police have come. The conclusion is based on the hypothesis that Charles Dennis and Pat Flaherty, the men under arrest, are the guilty parties, and that the man that got away is Lattimer, wanted for breaking jail at Waukesha. It has been learned here that the night of the robbery the "third man" stopped at one of the local hotels and that a woman was there with him. It is also known that the same woman bought a ticket for Republic, which is near Ishpeming, the point for which the alleged robbers had bought tickets. The energies of the police will now be bent toward locating the third man and the woman. So far none of the supposed clues as to the disposition of the booty have materialized. MASONS CONDUCT FUNERAL Interment of Charles S. Schuette of Beaver Dam at Oakwood. Beaver Dam, Wis., Oct. 29.—[Special.] —The funeral of Charles S. Schuette was held here yesterday under the auspices of the Masons, Rev. C. S. Johnson officiating. Interment was at Oakwood cemetery. Mr. Schuette was a prominent citizen of Beaver Dam. He was born in Germany in 1829 and came to this country in 1840. fer from the general fund, as a portion of the state tax, the sum of $942,570, to be applied as follows: Interest on state indebtedness . $157,570 For free high schools . 100,000 Graded schools . 60,000 University . 280,000 Normal schools . 280,000 Special university tax . 56,000 Capitol building fund . 50,000 $942,570 And that no state tax be levied for the above purposes for the ensuing year; and no state tax whatever be levied for any other purpose, except in accordance with section 1072a of the Wisconsin statutes of 1898, as amended by section 20, chapter 351, laws of 1899, and chapter 313, laws of 1903, a tax commonly known as the mill tax for the aid of the public schools, amounting to $1,027,220.40.

Sheboygan, Wis., Oct. 29.—[Special.] —C. D. Markworth, for twenty-four years principal of the local Lutheran parochial schools, a leading pedagogue of private schools in this state, died after three weeks suffering from gangrene of the lungs. He was born in Perry county, Mo., a graduate of the St. Louis schools, Northwestern university, Watertown, Wis., and the normal school at Addison, ll. Before coming here he was principal of the Little Rock, Ark., schools. Rev. John Stassen, Milwaukee, was a classmate of his. He leaves a wife and six children. BURGLARS SUCCEED AT MADISON Thieves Get $1000 Worth of Goods and Leave No Clue. Madison, Wis., Oct. 29.—[Special.] Burglars went through the dry goods store of Jonas Brothers last night and got away with $1000 worth of silks, besides a small amount in money and stamps. They gained entrance by climbing through a transom left partly open. There is no clue to the thieves. SHORTAGE OF CARS RELIEVED Kewaunee Shippers No Longer Confronted with Difficulty. Kewaunee, Wis., Oct. 29.—[Special.]—Kewaunee shippers have been confronted with a shortage of cars for the past two weeks. The situation was relieved today, however, by the Pere Marquette and Ann Arbor roads sending over several empties. SOLDIERS' STORIES. ENTERTAINING REMINISCENCES OF THE WAR. Graphic Account of Stirring Scenes Witnessed on the Battlefield and in Camp-Veterans, of the Rebellion Recite Experiences of Thrilling Nature. "Thirty-nine years ago to-day," said J. J. Wallace, "I started on my last raid on Richmond. No, I wasn't in the cavalry. I was in the Fourth Wisconsin Artillery, at that time in Butler's Army of the James. On the 29th of September two corps of Butler's army, including General Kautz's division of cavalry, were to cross to the north side of the James, capture the rebel positions, and attempt a rush into Richmond. The rebel positions were captured and held, but we didn't get into Richmond, and I was put out of action. "We took four guns of our battery into the fight and lost them. We lost also a good many men, and I came out with a bullet hole through the shoulder. Yes, it disabled me then, and was a good deal in my way for some years. The wound was a severe one, but here I am as active in business as my old comrades who were not wounded." "So am I," said an Eighty-sixth Illinois man. "I didn't run to bullet wounds, but I had bruises until I couldn't rest, and in the army a bruise was a bruise, as I learned by long and painful experience. I got my first bruise before I had been in the service sixty days. That was at Perryville, Oct. 8, 1862. We were lying down behind a rail fence when a bullet from the rifle of a rebel sharpshooter struck a rail right above my head, flattened out like a pancake, glanced off in my direction, struck me on the shoulder, leaving a black and blue spot as big as my hand. That bullet hurt me worse than if it had gone through me, and yet I was reported bruised, not wounded. Again at Jay's sawmill at Chickamauga a flattened ball or a piece of a shell grazed me so close as to bruise and blister the skin, and again I got no sympathy and was laughed at for not tallying a hit. At Buzzard's Roost in May, 1864, we fought in a corn field from early morning before daylight until 8 o'clock at night. Along in the afternoon, tuckered out with the hot fighting and the hot weather, I squared myself behind a tree for a rest. "I told the boys I was going to take a nap. This was meant to be a joke, but, sitting against a tree, I went to sleep, my head wobbled to one side, exposing my camp-kettle hat, and a Johnnie put a bullet through the hat so close to my head as to cut the hair. I awoke with a start, to be laughed at by the boys. I got another scratch at Kenesaw and blister or bruise at Peach Tree Creek, and another at Jonesboro, but I got no furlough on any of them. I can't truthfully say that I was wounded, and yet that bruise on my shoulder troubles me to this day." "I had worse luck than that," said the Sergeant. "On the night our division crossed the Tennessee River in the march on Chattanooga, in September, 1863. I met with the queerest mishap that ever befell a soldier. I had been on heavy duty for two days and nights, and it seemed to me I couldn't keep awake another minute if all of Bragg's army came swooping down the gorge through which we were moving. I remember looking up at the ruins of the high bridge and trestle work at Falling Water, between Shellmound and Lookout Mountain, and then all was blank. "I had gone to sleep, walking. We were marching in fours, rifles at right-shoulder shift, and the men on either side stood shoulder to shoulder, so for a time I slept and walked. When a turn came in the road the mechanism of my body, set for going ahead, stopped, and I went down like a log, my rifle striking me a cruel blow, and my face striking the rough ground. I was hurt worse than if a bullet had gone through my arm, but in my pain and misery I heard the laughs and shouts of the men jeering me. I carry the marks of that fall to-day, but the men of the old company would call me a fraud if I should say I was wounded at Falling Water." 'My most painful wound,' said the Captain, "did not come from bursting shell, or rifle bullet or saber cut. In going up Missionary Ridge I was close behind a great big fellow, who pushed his way through brush and abattis after the manner of a fly-bitten bull. At one point he bent forward the sharpened prongs of a branch of a fallen tree, and, releasing himself, let the sharp points fly back. They struck me at the knee, with the swiftness of a swinging saber, tore my trousers on that leg, and left three gashes across the knee. It was not a wound from the soldier's point of view, and I did not fall out. I climbed on, blind with pain, and I carry the scars to this day, but I was not among those reported wounded." "I got my worst hurt," said a smiling corporal, "at West Point, Ky., where the regulars and militia are this week playing at war. We had been marching on half rations and sinkers for nearly a month in September, 1862, and were worn out, ragged, and starved, when one afternoon a glorious vision burst upon us. Coming out of a stretch of woodland we looked across a grassy plain, where were piled as high as houses all the articles in the soldier's menu. Here were great stacks of hams, there other stacks of shoulders and bacon. Just beyond were boxes of crackers corded into solid masses twenty feet high, and spreading out into lines like great fortifications, and still beyond the Ohio River, wherein General Bragg said he would water his horse. "This was the scene that met the eyes of Buell's hungry men as they came, without warning, upon it. There had been great depression among us that day, because we felt that we must fight Bragg on empty stomachs. But somebody had planned better than we thought possible, and here was plenty. Officers and men were hilarious at once. Even the dignified General William Sooy Smith, then commanding our division, rode down to us at a gallop to assure us there was plenty for all and to invite us to help ourselves. We could scarcely believe our eyes or ears, but there right before us was such an abundance of army fare as we had never seen before. "Hams, in the army, were reserved for officers, and it seemed incredible that General Smith could be inviting us to help ourselves from that pile. But as the thousands of men marched up in order and filled their haversacks with the toothsome hard tack, the more toothsome because of the memory of sinkers, or flapjacks, our regiment passed the pile of hams, and one daring private thrust his bayonet into one of the largest and carried it off at a right shoulder shift. Another did the same, and another, and there sat General Smith on his horse smiling indulgently, if not approvingly. So it came about that many of us ate more ham that night than was good for us. I was sick as a horse, and my stomach has never been right since. I have always insisted that I was hurt worse at West Point than I was at Stone River, where a bullet went through my right arm."—Chicago Inter Ocean. The Mule in the War. "I was reading in the Chicago Journal the other day," said General Martin Beem, "an article on the 'Mule in the War.' It puts me in mind of another incident worth relating. The Ninth Illinois Infantry was mounted principally on mules in the Atlanta campaign, and somewhere near there the regiment, while in advance, had a hard fight with a large force of the enemy, and were at last required to fall back. Dr. Grelick, the surgeon of the regiment, and who is yet living at Alton, Ill., found his mule wouldn't run, but contented itself with kicking and 'bucking' as the surgeon applied his spurs. He coaxed, remonstrated and spurred all in vain, and all this time the rebel skirmish line kept coming closer, until at last one of the enemy rode up in the rear of the doctor and demanded his surrender. The doctor had all he could do to keep in the saddle, and when the demand was again made he petulantly replied: 'Well, blank it, I am willing, but you can see for yourself that the blank mule ain't.' This didn't satisfy the rebel, and as the doctor was bounding up and down on the mule's back the skirmisher opened fire from a revolver at close range on the doctor. This made the latter indignant, and, whipping out his own pistol, he began firing over his own shoulder at the rebel, whom he knew was somewhere in the rear, but whom he could not see or pay any attention to because of the imperious demands made upon him by the mule. The danger from death seemed equally great from beneath as from the rear. Fortunately, one of the doctor's random shots struck the rebel's horse, which caused it to break beyond the control of its rider, and carried him rapidly past the doctor to our side, and, as he went flying past, the mule saw him and instantly gave chase, bringing the doctor soon up in the rear of the rebel, whom he covered with his pistol, and actually brought him a prisoner into our lines. Of course, the doctor was glad enough to commend the mule's superior strategy, and not condemn it for its characteristic obstinacy, as he was at first disposed to do." A Serious Mistake. There were many cases during the war, on both sides, where friends, in the darkness or owing to the dissimilarity of dress, mistook each other for foes, and fired and fought with murderous effect. I propose to cite, further on, some of these instances. My present purpose is to give the unfortunate case of the Hon. John Hughes, of Beverly, Va., who was a member of the convention in that State that passed the ordinance of secession. Mr. Hughes was a volunteer aid to General Pegram at the battle of Rich Mountain, where he displayed more energy than skill and more valor than prudence. At that time many of the militia regiments on both sides were dressed alike. Mr. Hughes was galloping through a piece of woods, with an order, when he was challenged by the pickets on a post with whom he was suddenly brought face to face. From the appearance and position of the men he supposed they were Union troops, and as they covered him with their rifles he shouted: Hold! I am a Northern man! The words had hardly passed his lips when a dozen muskets sent their missiles of death into his heart. Had he told the truth he would have lived, for the men who shot him down so remorselessly were a party of Confederates, and his own friends. An Awful Jolt. "Indeed," exclaimed Miss Caustique. "And were you employed as coachman or butler?" "Good night, papa." They were the words of a blue-eyed child as she kissed her chubby hand and looked down the stairs. "Good night, papa. Jessie see you in the morning." It came to be a regular thing, and every evening as the mother slipped the white nightgown over the plump shoulders, the little one stopped on the stairs and sang out, "Good night, papa," and as the father heard the silver accents of the child, he would come, and, taking the cherub in his arms, would kiss her tenderly while the mother's eyes filled and a swift prayer went up, for, strange to say, this man who loved his child with all the warmth of his nature, had one fault to mar his manliness. From his youth he had loved the wine cup. Genial in spirit, and with a fascination of manner that won him friends, he could not resist when summoned by his boon companions. Thus his home was darkened, the heart of his wife bruised and bleeding, and the future of his child shadowed. There had been three years of the winsome prattle of the baby as she crept into the avenues of the father's heart, keeping him closer to his home. But still the fatal cup was in his hand. Alas for frail humanity. How could this father be saved? His love for his child, though it deeply affected him, did not win him from drink. But God, with unutterable tenderness, could not see him perish. He knew how this father might be saved. Calling a swift messenger He said, "Speed thee to earth and bring me the babe." "Good night, papa," sounded from the stairs. What was there in the voice? Was it the echo of the mandate, "Bring me the babe?" A silvery, plaintive sound it was, a lingering music that touched the father's heart as when the breeze touches the Aeolian harp. "Good night, my darling," he said, but grew pale. "Is Jessie sick, mother? Her cheeks are flushed and her eyes have a strange light." "Not sick? Oh, I hope not," and the mother stopped to kiss the flushed brow. "She may have played too much. Pet is not sick." "Jessie tired, mamma. Good night, papa. Jessie see you in the morning." "That is all, she is only tired," Sweet lullabys were sung, but Jessie was restless and could not sleep. "Tell me a story, mamma," and the mother told of the Blessed Babe that Mary cradled, following along the story until the child had grown to walk and play. The blue, wide eyes filled with a strange light, as though she saw and comprehended more than the mother knew. That night the father did not visit the saloon. He tossed on his bed, starting from a feverish sleep and bending over the crib, as the long, weary hours passed. Morning revealed the truth. Jessie was smitten with the fever." "Keep her quiet," the doctor said. "A few days of good nursing and she will be all right." The words were easily said, but the father saw a look on the sweet face such as he had never seen before. He knew the messenger was at the door. "O God, spare her, I cannot bear it," was wrung from his suffering heart. Days passed and the mother was tireless in watching with her babe cradled in her arms. Her heart was slow to take in the truth. She did her best to solace the father's heart. "A light case. The doctor says pet will soon be well," she said. Calmly, as one who knows his doom, the father laid his hand upon the hot brow, looked into the eyes, even then covered with the film of death, and with all the strength of his manhood cried, "Spare her, O God, spare my child, and I will follow Thee." With a last painful effort the parched lips opened and the little one said, "Jessie's too sick, can't say good night, papa." In the morning there was a convulsive shudder and the clasping fingers relaxed their hold. The messenger had taken the child. Months have passed. Jessie's crib stands by the side of her father's couch. Her blue embroidered dress and white hat hang in his closet. Her boots, with the print of the feet just as she last wore them, are as sacred in his eyes as they are in the mother's. He thinks of her as not dead, but merely risen to a higher life, while sounding down from the upper stairs he seems to hear the words, "Good night, papa; Jessie see you in the morning"—angel words that have been the means at last of winning to a better way one who had shown himself dead to every former call.—National Advocate. Home for Drunkard's Wives. Mrs. Carrie Nation has bought a big house in Kansas City, Kan., to be used as a home for drunkards' wives. It is said that Mrs. Nation will spend several thousand dollars in improving the property, which will be turned over to her within a few months. The money to establish the home was raised by Mrs. Nation on a trip East. From the body of one guilty deed a thousand ghostly fears and haunting thoughts proceed.—Wordsworth.

Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt-Col., iv., 6. No gift belongs so peculiarly to man as speech. Many of the irrational creatures surpass us in the gifts we hold in common, but speech is the glory of man alone. As this gift is so truly remarkable, for the use of it we shall be held strictly accountable. "By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned;" and "For every idle word men shall speak they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment." But it is not of the abuse of speech I would speak, but of its use in our social intercourse with one another, of its proper employment by Christians, whose tongue is mostly utilized in discourse about the passing things of the day, and who look forward to the time when, before his throne, this same tongue shall announce his praise. How, then, can Christians carry out the apostolic injunction mentioned in the text? Can there be grace or savor discovered in the conversations of daily life? Can our ordinary speech be not only free from blame but can it also have in it that which is good to the point of edification? Yes. "There is one that holdeth his peace, that is found wise;" one who lived thirty years in ordinary life and whose tongue gave no offense. He made doors and bars to his mouth and kept his tongue from evil, and in every word was pleasing to his Father. While the evangelists have given us no account of our Lord's words during those thirty years, yet there are three instances related that unfold to us a fact that our Lord mingled freely in social intercourse with others—first, when he tarried behind after the festival in Jerusalem; next, at the marriage feast in Cana; and then the words "The Son of Man came eating and drinking." These instances show that our Lord did not shun social meetings with his neighbors. For all that he was in no way odd, but chose to be like unto the mass of his brethren and to pass through life as most of us have to pass through. He took part in all things not sinful in which our daily lives are spent, and thereby gave us the comforting assurance that our lowliness and earthliness need not make us sinful, either. He proved conclusively that we need not separate ourselves from our ordinary calling to be acceptable to God. So Jesus Christ walked with men for many years without separating himself from them in speech, for his speech was "always with grace, savored with salt." Surely we can learn a lesson after the manner of Christ! Many honest minded persons have an erroneous idea that conversations cannot be righteous unless religious topics are spoken of, and they regard all who are not prompt in such speech as unspiritual. How unlike Christ is this class! For thirty years Christ drew others toward what was good, yet it was so done as not to attract extraordinary attention to himself; so done that he seemed to those to whom he spoke as none other than what his outward condition betokened him, "the carpenter's son." This class, however, constantly attract attention to themselves by placing too much value on religious talk in every day life. The action of Christ, on the other hand, suggests that our ordinary conversations are vastly more important than our direct religious comments—or, in other words, it is of greater consequence that we watch over our common talk on ordinary matters than that we be often talking religiously, for there is no need of religious conversations to reveal the true inwardness of a man. What is really in a man will be felt in his ordinary discourse. "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man, out of a good treasure, bringeth forth good things, and an evil man, out of an evil treasure, bringeth forth evil things." For a truly religious man will have his words always "seasoned with salt." As in our ordinary meals a little salt, though it does not appear, yet savors the food, so, too, without protruding itself the influence of a good man who has the love and fear of God in his soul will be felt. On the contrary, the man who talks religion, constantly dwelling especially upon himself, his feelings, his experiences, his fitness to teach and guide others, has his speech overseasoned with salt and leaves an unpleasant savor; for if any man think himself religious, "not bridling his tongue, but decelving his own heart, this man's religion is vain." Let us strive, then, to use aright this gift of speech, so that in the resurrection, amid the perfections of the future state, our tongues may be deemed worthy to be everlastingly employed in giving glory, honor, praise and thanksgiving to him who sits upon the throne, and let our prayer be the words of the Psalmist, "Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth and a door around my lips," forever bearing in mind that "a peaceable tongue is a tree of life, but that which is immoderate shall crush the spirit." DOCTRINE OF PLEASURE. Bu. Boga. David. The world to-day needs a new doctrine of pleasure—a gospel of pleasure, properly speaking. The tension of life is reaching the limits of human endurance, and rich and poor alike are ignorant of the joy of living. The idea that pleasure is sinful is repudiated by all wise teachers, but the ghost of that falsehood still haunts the mind of men. As children we wondered why the things we liked to do were the things that were always forbidden; why the woods and the lakes and the circus were set forth as contraries to lessons and chores and Sunday school; why candy was sweet and medicine bitter, and now that we are men we are still amazed at the same moral contradictions. The puritanic and fanatical philosophy of life says: 'Don't do that, you naughty boy,' and the youth replies, 'I'm not naughty, I'm happy.' What is the reason of this perversion of nature? A false doctrine of life. We have overemphasized the dangers of excess and forgotten the meaning of use. The moralist has taught us the idea of deprivation, restriction and gloom and omitted the ideas of possession, enlargement and joy which lie in the purpose of Jesus to give life and that abundantly. The supreme fact in nature and human society as related to pleasure is this: That no physical function, no exercise of mental power, no skill or artistic expression but yields its accompanying pleasure in the legitimate act. Nature gives the bee its sip of nectar for the work of fertilizing the flower. Nature and man and God have each their sip of nectar for service rendered. THORNS IN SOUL OF MAN. By Dr. Polemus H. Swift. A heart preoccupied with the inferior makes impossible the realization of the highest ideals. The useless is the deadly enemy of the useful. Devotion to the lower sounds the death knell of the higher. One may be so occupied with the temporal as to be blinded to the spiritual. If one does not make the highest supreme and live for it with might and main the inferior will choke out the superior and render a golden harvest impossible. If there is no positive good in a thing there is sure to be harm in it. Account for it as you may, there are in every soul unholy impulses that prove to be dangerous thorn roots in the soil of the heart. Man has a sort of a dual nature. There is in every man a smaller and larger self. The supreme question is which shall gain the mastery. The beginnings of bad habits exist as most pernicious thorn roots in the field of the heart. They must be rooted out or life will be ruined. If you desire to reap a golden harvest in the autumn of life you must conquer the lower by devotion to the higher, win the victory over the taints of heredity by the power of self-determination and the grace of God and root out the thorns of bad habit with the pick-ax of self-denial. If you do not live for the best the worst will overrun the fair fields of life and ruin all at the last. SERMONETTES An Antiseptic.—Love is an antiseptic; so are kindness, patience and goodness. These are the divine antiseptics we should put into our speech and acts. They will soon neutralize all the discords of the earth. What creed does love need? All the theology of the Bible could not add to it.—Rev. F. E. Mason, Independent, Brooklyn, N. Y. Supreme Law.—The cynical observer of human nature finds some humor in a situation which unites all classes in a raid on the railroads. But it proves that, behind all conventions of law or politics, we yet recognize that the safety of the public is the supreme law. Is the government ownership of the coal mines socialism? The answer is "Yes."—Rev. D. Beaton, Congregationalist, Chicago, Ill. Tastes and Tasks.—Nothing in this world is so peculiarly a man's own as his incidental tastes. One of the great moral questions of life, then, as affecting our own growth and as bearing upon our duty to others lies in the right use of our tastes. And one of the subtlest temptations of life is to let our tastes get in the way of our tasks, and the relationship of tastes and tasks must be one of the important tests of life.—Rev. A. R. Merriam, Congregationalist, Hartford, Conn. Grazing Grounds. — The grazing grounds of the fleshy-minded are the lotus meadows of pleasure and ease. The grazing grounds of the spiritually minded are the "green pastures" besides the "still waters," led and fed and satisfied by the Shepard of Life. The difference between the carnally-minded and the spiritually-minded is the difference between the stall fed ox complacently chewing his cud and the creature created in the image of God agonizing to be worthy of wearing the white stone and bearing the new name.—Rev. C. J. Greenwood Baptist, Westfield, N. J. THE HOUSEHOLD Slice very thin, without peeling, two dozen oranges and take out the seeds. Slice two lemons in the same way and mix with the oranges. Measure the juice and add enough water to make three quarts of the liquid. Put into a stone crock with a cover and set in the cool cellar over night. In the morning put over the fire in a preserving kettle and bring slowly to the boil. Simmer gently until the peel is very tender, then stir in a pound of sugar for every pint of liquid and boil until the skin is clear in appearance. Take from the fire and when cool turn into jelly glasses. Sweet Pickled Peaches. Sweet Pickled Peaches. Prepare a syrup of four pounds of brown sugar, one quart of best cider vinegar, and two ounces of stick cinnamon broken in pieces. Boil all together twenty minutes. Have peaches ready, having previously dipped them quickly into boiling water and rubbed off fur with a crash towel. Stick two or three cloves into each peach—not more for the clove darkens the peach. Put half of peaches into syrup at a time, and cook until clear and tender. Drain out and put into jars, and pour boiling syrup over them, filling jar full. Seal. Piccalilli. Pick over carefully two large cabbages, chop fine and add a pint of onions chopped. Stir in a handful of salt and pack all down in a stone crock, leaving for twenty-four hours. Into a quart of vinegar stir a pound of sugar and a tablespoonful each of ground mustard, pepper, mace, allspice, celery seed, cinnamon and tumeric. Stir this into the cabbages and onion, turn all into a preserving kettle and boil for ten minutes. When cold pack in jars. Chili Sauce. Peel and slice three dozen fine tomatoes and a dozen onions. Mix, then add six green peppers, minced. Into three quarts of vinegar stir a cupful of brown sugar, five tablespoonfuls of salt, six teaspoonfuls each of powdered allspice, cloves and cinnamon, two teaspoonfuls of ground ginger and a salt-spoonful of paprika. Now add the vegetables, put all over the fire and boil steadily for two hours or until thick. When cold bottle and seal. Rice Flour Cakes. Quarter of a pound of rice flour, quarter of a pound of moist sugar, quarter of a pound of butter, two tablespoonfuls of flour, a few currants, one teaspoonful of baking powder. Mix the rice, sugar, currants and baking powder in a dry state, then melt the butter before the fire and add half a teacupful of warm milk. Mix together with a spoon, then put into queen cake tins or molds, and bake in a moderate oven. Tomato and Corn Salad. Pour boiling water over large smooth tomatoes to loosen the skins, and set on ice. When perfectly cold, gouge out the center of each tomato with a spoon and fill the cavity with boiled corn cut from the cob and left to get perfectly cold; then mix with mayonnaise dressing. Arrange the tomatoes on a chilled platter lined with lettuce, and leave on ice until wanted. Pass more mayonnaise with the salad. Sand Tarta. One cupful of butter, one and a half of sugar, two of flour, a very scant teaspoonful of baking powder and a gill of milk (perhaps a little over); make into a smooth dough, roll out thin, cut with a tumbler into thin cakes, sift sugar over and bake. They should not be brown, only a nice yellow. New Baked Beans. Lima and red kidney beans are very good baked with pork, as ordinary white beans are prepared. Green or dried beans may be used. The dried ones must, of course, be soaked before baking. Short Suggestion. Stained knife blades should be rubbed with a cut raw potato, dipped in knife powder or bath brick, and then polished in the usual manner. Ink stains, if fresh, will soak out in milk: if, however, they have been allowed to dry the application of oxalic acid or salts of lemon will be necessary. Very wet boots should be filled with dry oats and set aside for a few hours. The oats will absorb the moisture and, swelling out, will prevent the leather shrinking and the boots hardening, as they would if put near the fire to dry. To clean the ivory handles of knives mix equal parts of ammonia and olive oil and add to this enough prepared chalk to make a paste. With this rub the ivory and let it dry before brushing it off. Several applications of the paste may be necessary. To cut glass with scissors hold a sheet of glass horizontally under water and then cut it, as you would a sheet of paper, with a strong pair of scissors. The cutting is easily accomplished, but it will not be as neatly done by a long way as with a diamond. If your sewing machine works heavily oil it thoroughly with paraffin. This will remove all dirt and grit; but it must be afterward wiped off carefully, and the machine must then be oiled with the ordinary lubricating oil. Never use paraffin as a lubricant or you will cause your machine to wear out before its time. Visitors to the Cream City Should "Look in" at the Pool Room. Moderate Prices.

FRIENDSHIP AND CHARACTER. One of the Most Priceless Gifts That Come Into a Life. One of the most priceless gifts that can come into a life is a friend who believes in one. All friends do that—until you disappoint them or cross them. But that rare, particular friend who believes in you even if you don't accomplish the great thing others looked for; who never ceases still to think you capable of them; and who is cheerfully and confidently waiting for the day when you will do them—that friend is a gift of the gods. He may not send every day to inquire how you get on. You may not see him once in a year even. But you know that he cares, and it is a mighty incentive to do the best that is in you. Others who knew you gave you up long ago. This one did not; he shall see his faith justified. Others are too busy with their own successes to care greatly about yours. This one forgets his own to rejoice with you. Others are too downcast over failures to sorrow for you. But this one remembers his own failures only to show you how they may be forgotten and left far in the rear. Only on the supposition that such a friend is a providential gift can be explained the mysterious part he plays in your life. There comes a day when the skies hang heavy and the world looks dark; nothing has succeeded; nothing will ever succeed, and you say to yourself you may as well give up. Into such gloom, like a flash of sunshine, comes a message from your friend—one of those rare letters he finds so little time in his busy life to write. "I have been thinking of you," he writes, "and wish I might know how you are getting on." After that come a few strong words of encouragement and of hopeful confidence in you. How did he know you needed to be told just that? What blessed little bird made it clear to him that but tor a word of cheer you would go down on that dark day? What mysterious sympathy connects you so that he may know instinctively, without actual communication, when you need sympathy and help? There may be various explanations, rational and irrational, of the phenomenon; but the simplest and the truest is that a friend is indeed a priceless gift designed to fulfill a large purpose in your life. It is worth while not to disappoint such a friend. He stands for the highest aspirations of your own heart. to satisfy him is to be and do all that in your best moments you ever aspired to be and do. Truly, a friend often knows you better than you know yourself; and to mold yourself according to his expectations is to turn out a finer piece of work than you could have accomplished in any other way.—Philadelphia Bulletin. The results of the change from steam to electrical power on New York's elevated railways are a reduction of cost per passenger from 2.24 cents under steam to 1.98 cents, and an increase in gross earnings of $400,000, accompanied by a decrease in expenses of $99,000. | Ex.

Madison, Wis., Oct. 28.—[Special.] After an illness which has been recognized as serious since July 8, Breese J. Stevens, a member of the board of state university regents and a leading attorney, died at his home in this city this morning at 8:05. His illness was an affection of the membrane of the intestines, the effects of which the best medical skill was unable to overcome. A consultation of physicians was held a month ago and the verdict that the case was hopeless proved true. Besides the immediate members of his family, his wife and two daughters, a sister, Mrs. H. B. Sanforth of Oneida, N. Y., and a nephew and niece, Holmes Stevens of Rochester and Mrs. Charles D. Walcott of Washington, whose husband is chief of the United States geological survey, have been with him for a month. Mr. Stevens has practiced law in Madison since 1857, having conducted many important railroad, land grant and water litigations. Among his partners have been the late I. C. Sloan, W. A. P. Morris, H. M. Lewis and others. For several years he has been district attorney for Wisconsin of the Illinois Central. He was mayor of Madison in 1884 and since 1891 has been a member of the board of university regents and chairman of its executive committee. He has been a director of the First National club since its organization, a member of the Reform club of New York and of the Milwaukee club. He enjoyed an enviable distinction for conservatism, command of affairs and a marked sense of justice in all his professional and business relations. Mr. Stevens was a native of New York, born at Sconondoa, Oneida county, sixty-eight years ago. He was graduated from Hamilton college in 1853, receiving the degree of M. A. in 1856 and in June, 1902, his Alma Mater conferred on him its supreme honor, the doctorate of laws. "I am profoundly shocked to learn of the death of Regent B. J. Stevens," said J. M. Pereles this morning. "Of course I knew that he has been confined to his home for some time, with a dreaded illness, and yet had hopes for his recovery. Still I clung to the idea that, while there is life there is hope. I have known Mr. Stevens for more than thirty years, became quite intimately acquainted with him during the past two years, serving with him on the executive committee of the board of regent of the university, and know that his great reputation as a lawyer, business man and student was not in the least exaggerated. He was always kind and gentlemanly, and as chairman of the executive committee was firm and decisive, yet very prudent and just. He had at all times the interest of the great educational institution of our state at heart and in mind. Of him it can be truly said, 'We shall miss him.'" The funeral will be held Saturday morning from the residence. MARRIES COACHMAN.

Legends Corrected. Goneril and Regan had just driven King Lear out into the storm. "We wanted a little variation on the stern New England father act," they explained.

St. John, Kan., Oct. 26.—Mr. and Mrs. William McBride and Jesse L. Limes, M. D., have gone before Mr. George E. Moore, Notary Public, and have sworn and subscribed to written statements confirming the story of the awful illness and subsequent cure of the little son of Mr. and Mrs. McBride. Dr. Limes is particularly emphatic in his statement, and there does not now seem to be any room for doubt as to the fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills and nothing else, saved the little boy. He was so bad that he had Epileptic spells which seized him with increasing frequency. He was semi-paralyzed in the right side, and his mind was badly affected. In their sworn statement, Mr. and Mrs. McBride say: "The very day we began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills our boy had twenty-seven of these Epileptic spells or fits. In less than a week he ceased having them entirely." The case has caused a great sensation in the neighborhood. The sworn statements have confirmed the whole story. Beer and Whisky. In sixty years the annual per capita consumption of whiskey has gradually decreased from $2\frac{1}{2}$ to $1\frac{1}{4}$ gallons. In forty years the consumption of beer has increased from less than 2 to more than 17 gallons per capita. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and the liaison man can take out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Atmosphere Dried, Filtered and Ozon- ized. a In view of the increasing attention paid to the treatment of consumption—the realization of the ravages of the “white death” and the success following the ex- periments in the “open air’ cures—it ts of interest to note that when it is im- possible to remove the patient to the mountains, mountain air can be brought to the cities. ‘There is in London an in- stitution called the oxygen hospital, which has special arrangements for the eure of tuberculosis, ulcers, lupus, wounds ete. Cubicles are constructed— six and one-half feet long, four feet wide and six feet high, and elevated on blocks about a foot above the floor, and in these compartments consumptives may sleep and spend the greater eer of their time in an atmosphere artificially adapted to their necessities. The cubicles are pro- yided with a scientific mechanism by which the air is dried, filtered, ozonized and rarefied before it reaches the patient. The walls of the compartments are of wood and plate glass, and the duurs are airtigat, closing with a joint. Opposite the doors and attached to the wood is the smal] chamber where the air is treat- ed. The outer air, when drawn by a yentilating shaft into the chamber, is filtered through layers of cotten wool, to remove all impnrities; it is then dried by being passed through perforated trays charged with chloride of calcium, and finally ozonized by means of an Andriolis ‘tube, which ts called into ac- tion for five minutes in each aoe of an hour by automatic clockwork. Above the doors 1s 2 square chamber containing the exhaust fan, and there is a ventilat- ing shaft leading therefrom through the roof ef the hospital. As the output is regulated so as to exceed the inlet. the atmospheric pressure within the cubicle os eoeernet reduced and the air is rarc- ‘The patient pane some sixteen out of every twenty-four hours in his cubicle, and it is said that instead of being cramped by his narrow surroundings, he is unwilling to leave them, as he finds it much easier to breathe there, and cor- respondingly difficult outside. The cu- bicle, after the initial expense of con- struction has been covered, is not costly in operation. The cubicles at the Lon- don Oxygen hospital, for instance, cost about 25 cents a day each in chemicals. — Reston Transcript. He Waen’t Quite Sure. It was comparatively but a short time ago that the old rules of the English courts were in full foree and vigor in the conservative state of South Carolina. Thus it was distinctly provided that each attorney and counselor, while engaged in a trial; must wear “a black gown and coat.” But on ene oceasion James L. Pettigrue, one of the leaders of the bar, appeared dressed in a light coat. “Mr, Pettigrue,” said the judze, “you have on a light coat. You can not speak, sin” “Oh, your honor,” Pettigrue replied, “may it please the court, I conform te the law.” “No, Mr. Pettigrue, you have on a light coat. The court can not hear you.” “But, your honor,” insisted the lawyer, “you misinterpret. Allow me_ to illus- trate. The law says that a barrister must wear ‘a black gown and coat,’ does it noty” “Yes,” replied the judge. “and does your honor hold that both che gowa_and the coat must be black?” “Certainly, Mr, Pettigrue, certainly, sir.” answered his honor, “And yet it is also provided by law,” continued Mr. Pettigrue, “that the sherifi must wear ‘a cocked hat and sword,’ is it not?” ° _ “Yes, yes,” was the somewhat impa- tient answer, “And does the court hold.” questioned Pettigrue, “that the sword must b¢ cocked as well as the hat?” “Ebh—er,—h’m,” mused his honor, “you —er,—may—er,—continue your speech, Mr. Pettizrue.”—Suecess. The Liquor Trade in Cuba. If the Cuban government was con- trolled by the white ribbon temperance societies of the north she could not have taken a more decisive step against liquor than she has done. The new tax es on liquors is so very high that the liquor dealers, distillers and all state that they will have to go out of business and in a few days it is promised that those peo- ple who want “eye-openers” may have to take lemonade or milk instead. There seems to be no doubt_that the industry in Cuba is killed.

A beautiful tulip tree near the corner of East avenue and Alexander street is lying becanse wires pass among its branches. The telephone wire, apparent- ly harmless because of the slight current it carries, is almost as deadly as the elec- tric light wires. A grounding of the cur- rent of the cteiephone wire by swaying of branches or wire gives a tree inter- mittent shocks that kill. Wires carry- ing no steady current carry at times pow- erful atmospheric currents and are de- structive. Steel wire strung in the mag- netic meridian becomes maguetic and the magnetic intensity varies. If such wires are attached to trees the latter show the effects in sickly foliage and slow growth. A row of maples along the roadside south of Rochester has been used by a land owner to carry the steel wires of a road fence in place of posts. The wires run north and south and are fastened to the trees with wire staples that penetrate the sap. Asa result of this bad treatment the trees are sickly and will probably die in a few years. A wire with only casual or induced currents kills slowly, but it kills. Those who care for trees must keep wires away from them, or the labor of planting and rene will be lost.—Rochester Demo- crat.

NEW TEST FOR WINE. A Recent Discovery That Has Been Made in Paris. Wine testing by telephone is the iates: «pplication of electricity ia Faris. Un- sernpuious venders will not bless M. Maneuvricr, assistant director of the laboratory of researehes of the Pans faculty of sciences. He has just discov- ered an infallible method of ascertain- ung by the use of the telephone how much a given quantity of wine has been wa- ‘tered. The principle upon which the in- vention rests is the variable conducti- oility of different liquids, notably of wine ‘and water. The originality of M. Maneuvrier’s ingenious application is his ase of the telephone to determine to what degree the liquid under observation is a conductor, He has constructed an apparatus which achieves this object satisfactorily and accurately. By means of a chart, on which are set down in tabular form the results of various necessary calculations made by M. Ma- neuvrier for the purpose, an operator with the telephone can easily and in a short while find out the exact preportion of water in the wine which he is testing, whereas the chemical analysis processes hitherto employed are lengthy, Tiporions and costly. The apparatus works as follows: Two vessels, one containing wine known to be pure, the other the same quantity of the wine to be tested, are placed on an instrument outwardly resembling a pair of scales. The telephone is in contact with both liquids. If the sample of wine under observation is as pure as_ the Standard used for comparisons no sound is heard; if, on the contrary, it contains Rates, the tell-tale telephone “speaks,” and the greater the proportion of water ‘the louder the instrument complains. A dial on which a number of figures are marked is connected with the telephone. To ascertain the proportion of water in the wine tested the operator moves a hand on the dial until the telephone, which has been “speaking” all this time, relapses into silence. The hand has thus been brought to a certain figure on the dial. This number is then looked up in a chart which the ingenious and pains- taking inventor has drawn up, and cor- responding to it is found indicated the exact proportion of water contained in the quantity of wine. M. Maneuvrier’s remarkable invention can, he says, be applied to the testing of many other liquids, and even solids, which may be adulterated by the addi- tion of foreign matter possessing a con- ductibility different to that of the orig- inal substance.—London Telegraph. | Where He Crossed the Equator.

A story illustrative of the severe logic of some juvenile minds is related by 4 reader of the Sun, who got it from 3 friend, a woman of family, one member of the latter being a 4-year-old daughter. One day this observant miss saw a lame man on the street, and asked her mother what made him walk so queer. The mother told her it was because one les was shorter than the other. “Well,” she said, “there is a girl around the corner who is that way.” After a few minutes’ meditation she remarked: “Mamma, wasn’t it funny that God didn't give the two long legs to the map and the two short ones to the girl ?”—Bal- timore Sun.

Sleep brought me no rest, for it was a restless sleep. The doctor said my nervous sys- tem was out of order, but his prescrip- tions didn’t seem to relieve me. I was told that Peruna was good for building up the nervous system. After using it for two months I know now that it is. I want to say that it made a new woman of me. The torturing Jo have nll disappeared and I feel myself again. Peruna did me more good than all the other medicines I have taken.” ANNIB HOBAN. Miss Mamie Powell, Lake Charles, Louisiana, writes: “I sincerely believe that Peruna is woman’s best friend, for it has certainly been that to me. I had had headaches, hackaches and other aches every month for a long time, but shortly after I be- gan taking Peruna this was a thing of the past, and I have good’ reason to be grateful. I take a bottle every sprin; and fall now, and that keeps my health perfect, and I certainly am more robust now than I have been before and am weighing more. I do not think any one will be disappointed in the results obtained from the use of Peruna.” MISS MAMIE POWELL. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his~ valuable ad- vice gratis.

One Must first consider what the investment isin an ordinary farm. A general farni, of eighty acres, with usual improve- ments, would not inventory more than $4,000 to $8,000. With the larger fig- ure the net income at 10 per cent should be $800; yet no farm that is considered to be at all profitable pro- duces so little income as this The daily living, which must be charged to income, would amount to more than this. If the general farmer “comes out even” at the end of the year, he has, nevertheless, made a good rate on his investment, and he has in- creased the value of his home at the same time. The difficulty with farm- ing, considered from the financial! point of view, is not that the rate of income 1s lows but that the amount of profitable investment is small. Con- sidered in its bearing om the national welfare, this fact is propitious, for it means that the farm provides an in- dependent business of small resources. Considered as a means of producing great individual fortunes, however, the farm Is Inadequate, and it is to be hoped that it always will be so, for at least one great profession or business should be measured in other terms than money-producing power for the individual. There {s untold wealth in the soil. There are practically no “exhausted” soils; they are mostly humus robbed and poorly handled soils. No one has ever yet reached the limit, on any con- siderable seale, of what the soil is capable of producing. Many men make a comfortable living on ten to fifty acres of land, and yet they al- ways expect to produce more, next year. Only here and there are we be- ginning to develop a really scientific and businesslike agriculture. The opportunities in farming are great. It is almost impossible for a man to fail, if he knows the business and has abilities that would lead him to success in other undertakings. It is a general belief that almost any man can leaye the city and make a living on a farm. This is a grievous error. Farming must be learned, as must engineering or teaching. It can- not be léarned from a book or a bulle- tin, but by farming. The older the man when he makes a radical change of business the less are his chances of success. If he has been in a subor- dinate position in his former business, his chances of success in farming are less, for he will probably be deficient in executive handling and initiative. Often a druggist or a preacher will think that he can go to farming with every assurance of success; yet he would not think that a farmer could go into the drug business or to preach- ing. Yet many a business man and many a preacher makes a most suc- cessful farmer.—L, H. Bailey, in New York Tribune. Shelled Corn Self Feeder, My style of a feed crib can be made of any size, so as to suit any number of cattle. Mine, however, is 6 feet wide, 15 long and 10 high. It has run- hers, e e, underneath, that it may be readily moved to any place desired. The roof is extended out so as to keep grain dry as well as the backs of ' Z paren a a [ > —— UT. mre CSE | ES i a Zoey = SS ae Ee = — es > == ~ = = —- a ceca tae mmm ead cs ica) steers. It is supported by 2x4 braces as shown at cc c. Cuopla d is well opened for free ventilation. The floor Is raised one foot in the center, so as to make sufficient fall for feed to drop into feed trays, f. A slide, g, 1x6 inches by 15 feet, may be used to regulate the flow of grain into manger. It should have two handles attached as shown. The door to the scoop hole should be made with slides similar to a scoop board, as at a, and about 2x2% feet, that there may be no waste of corn while filling the erib. The 2x4’s, b, which form the bottom, should project on each side about 20 inches to build the feed trough.—A. W. Helde, in Farm and Home. Bate and the Baw Poses’ Every farmer strives to get his hay beyond the washing infigence of rain as soon as possible. Rain water may dissolve and remove more than 10 per cent of the dry matter of hay, and what is thus removed may represent quite 20 per cent of the feeding value Half an inch of rain means some fifty tons of water per acre, and if the crop be equally spread over the ground, it is, of course, subjected to the whole of the washing influence of this quan- tity of water. But if the crop be put into cocks that occupy only one-tenth of the area, it follows that the hay will be affected by only one-ten™ or the rainfall, that is to say, by five in- stead of fifty tons of water. Not only does water actually wash out much of the soluble and most valuable constit- uents of hay, but it also removes the aroma, and leaves the crop much less appetizing as food for stock. The color, too, suffers, and with it the sell- Ing value.—Massachusetts Ploughman.

Coop for Fattening Chickens, Where it is desired to take extra pains in fattening chickens, it is nec- essary to confine them in close quar- ters for two or three weeks before kill- ing. The coop shown herewith is ideal for this purpose. It is set om legs 2% feet above the ground for convenience in caring for the fowls. The coop is about 2 feet wide, 5 feet long, and 2 feét 9 inches high, and will easily hold six: birds. The bottom should be constructed of slats, somewhat closer together than the sides and ends, so that the drop- pings may fall through. The coops should be placed under roofs to shed rain and to protect the fowls from the hot sun. In cold weather it would be necessary to protect them. still more by placing the coops in buildings. Feed troughs and water vessels are attached BZ 5 33 “The Bachelors’ Home \ Steam Heat. Electric Light. Telephone in Every Roomseessove ..

Silage and Roots. A silo for storing corn is cheaper than a barn for storing hay. A silo holding about two hundred tens may be constructed for about $150. About twice the number of cows may be kept on a farm if the silo is used. The ensilage may be kept over and fed during the dry and hot months of July and August, when pastures are short, and that fs the most difficult time to keep up the flow of milk, and if cows once drop in the flow of milk it is well- nigh impossible to get them to regain the full flow. When dairymen do not have silos the next best thing 1s roots, such as stock beets, which yield six hundred to seven hundred bushels per acre, and may be preserved in base- ment, barns or in a root cellar.—Amert- ean Cultivator. Folding Furniture Gold Medal Camp Furniture Mfg. Co, Incorporated Feprustis seen RAGINE, WIS., U. 3. A. Karm Notes. The greatest mistake that can be made is to allow stock to deteriorate, in the winter time with the hope of re- gaining what has been lost when grass comes. The sheep will find quite an amount of forage on the stubble field which other- animals. will not ‘touch at this season, but because a sheep is willing to eat what it can find in that manner should not deprive it from receiving regular rations at the barnyard. Agriculture will not have attained the highest place until farms of the country have been made to produce annually the full measure of their ca- pacity. This means rotation, fertili- zation and a host of other things that must come with progressive farming. Every farmer should have a few grapevines. They serve as arbors or shade, and can be grown where they will not take up much space. All poul- try yards will be improved if grape. vines are grown along the fences and the fowls will find shade under the overhanging branches in summer. Hemp can be easily grown in nearly all sections of this country, but the ob- stacle to its successful cultivation is the labor of preparing it for market. There is a wide field for inventive genius in devising appropriate machin- ery for specially treating hemp and other fibrous plants which demand more labor in some sections than can be profitably bestowed on them. In constructing a poultry house it is best to have its face to the southwest, as the sun will then send in its warmth as soon as it rises. The sun will warm the house until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon in the winter. If the house faces the south, as is usually the cus- tom, the sun's rays will not enter be fore 9 or 10 o’cloc%, although the morn- ing is the mest important time for re- ceiving the benefit.

Sows with very nervous tempera: ments should be avoided. The pigs should have a dry, clean bed, free from dust and filth. The cheapest pork is that made by the wise use of clover pasture. A sow should never be confined to a dry lot barren of all grasses and other forage. The hog should find a place in the economical management of every farm. No difference how plentiful the sup- ply of slops, the hogs should have fresh water daily. While dust in the bed is injurious, more may be said against dampness, which is fatal to thrift. The hog to thrive best must be giv- en food that will build up the system evenly. The bone, muscle and fat must maintain just proportions. | _______eLEGANT New———_ = - TONSORIAL PARLORS, : | neon to None in the World.
