Secretary of State for Minnesota—A Man of the People, Elected by the People, for the People. We present to our readers the portrait of Peter E. Hansen, the noted secretary of state for Minnesota. Mr. Hansen was born in Sweden fifty-eight years ago and came to this country with his parents when 12 years of age. His father was a prosperous farmer of Meeker county and accumulated a goodly estate. The subject of this sketch was brought up to do his share of the work of the farm and simply received a common school education. He, however, early showed a decided business capacity. He began to deal in real estate and opened up an office in Lichfield, where he built up a large business. He handled a large amount of land, bringing immigrants from Wisconsin INNOCENT VICT and Iowa, who have helped build up the industries of his section of the country. In 1891 he added banking to his business and is now president of the Meeker County bank. He has always been patriotic and public spirited, taking ever an intense interest in public affairs. He has been a member of the town board, chairman of the county board and a member of the state Senate. His nomination and election as secretary of state was clearly a case of the office seeking the man. He was re-elected in 1902 and will again be forced to become a candidate in 1904 and will surely be triumphantly returned. The Hon. P. E. Hansen is a gentleman who knows no race prejudice. Like his sturdy countrymen, so long as a man acts the part of a man, he will give his support to such. He has ever been a friend of the Negro race and deserves their unqualified and united support next fall. We know for a certainty that it was through his influence that in the state capitol our friend, R. V. Hedge, occupies the honorable position he does. THE POPULAR CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA. During the editor's recent visit to St. Paul he had the pleasure of meeting his old friend, Mr. Robert Dunn, ex-state auditor, who is a candidate for gubernatorial honors in his state next fall. That Mr. Dunn will be a strong candidate goes without saying, and we wish him all success in his ambition, and pledge our support and influence. From numerous Minnesota papers we publish clippings from which our readers can see how popular he is in his native state. Besides, Mr. Dunn deserves the gratitude and support of the colored race, as they have no truer friend than he is. He has always stood by them and swears in particular by one of their number. Deacon Owen Davis of Pilgrim Baptist church. In fact it was Mr. Dunn who supplied the deacon with the suit in which he preached his inaugural sermon. We will have more to say about the gentleman in the near future and up to the time of the election, and hope to be able to assist in placing a worthy man in the gubernatorial chair. The publisher of the Union is not a millionaire. He cannot afford to indulge in the luxury of thirteen-months' active political campaigning. At the proper time his friends can rest assured they will hear from him, and he will not disappoint them.—Princeton Union. The above is the first public announcement by R. C. Dunn of his intention to be a candidate for governor next year. Many of Mr. Dunn's friends have known that this name will be placed before the Republican state convention next year, and he will enter the race with bright prospects of success. His record as state auditor for eight years is his best recommendation. He has fearlessly fought for the interests of the state, insisting that corporations pay their just share of the taxes, and he can go before the people upon a platform of acts performed. The News is satisfied with Mr. Dunn as a candidate, and we believe the state will honor itself by placing him in the governor's chair.—Isanti News. Park Rapids Clipper: This talk of Bob Dunn "declaring himself," made by a few whose chief desire is a chance to dictate to the successful candidate is funny. We have Mr. Dunn's record of eight years of the most just and business-like work ever done in the state auditor's office, which is worth more than a declaration from anyone. ☆ ☆ ☆ The people like a fighter and this is the secret of the large following Bob Dunn has for the governorship. It was his vigorous fight in the Legislature against the stealings of the Minneapolis lumber barons that made him state auditor. In that office he did not disappoint his supporters. The lumber barons who had grown rich by plundering the property of the state in the shape of pine were made to pay over a part, at least, of their ill-gotten wealth and during his incumbency of the office the lumber kings paid a goodly price for all the lumber they got from the pine lands owned by the state. In this way the school fund of the state was increased by several millions of dollars while he was state auditor. Had the state pine lands been properly controlled prior to Dunn's occupancy of the auditorship the state school fund would be several millions more than it is. In view of his fighting qualities and in view of the aggressiveness of the corporations the people naturally turn to Bob Dunn as their candidate for governor to succeed Van Sant who is serving his second term. It is with no feeling against Van Sant that they are booming Dunn. Mr. Van Sant has made a good governor but it has been customary in this state to give the governor but two terms and taking it for granted that Gov. Van Sant will not be a candidate next year the people naturally look about for a new man for the place. In the hands of Bob Dunn the people know their interests would be well cared for and the corporations would be kept within proper limits. Hence, the general stampede to Dunn.—Slayton Gazette. Bob Dann without a pledge or promise of any kind would make a better governor than a whole lot of others bound by promises as high as the dome of the capitol. That's about the way a lot of common people throughout the state have sized up the situation.—Staples World. ☆ ☆ ☆ It isn't at all necessary for Bob Dunn to make formal announcement of his candidacy for governor at this time. The people are with him to a finish, and will see that Dunn delegates are elected to the Republican state convention. It looks just now as if Bob would have a walkaway in the convention, and he will get more votes at the polls than any other man in the state could. Bob is in the hands of his friends, the people, and they will take care of him.—Brainerd Tribune. The Warren Register says: "Dunn's candidacy for the Republican gubernatorial nomination meets with favor throughout the state. The fact that he has not yet made formal announcement of his candidacy has not prevented support for him from springing up in every quarter. The Republicans of this state have "extended a call" to him to become their standard bearer in the campaign of 1904, and we believe he is too patriotic and public spirited to withhold his services when the people demand them in any public capacity. Their reason for thus speaking is the knowledge they have that during the eight years he was state auditor he was as true to their interests as the needle is to the pole. His record in the auditor's office showed him to be independent and utterly fearless in the discharge of his official duties and as considerate of the rights of the humblest individual as of those of the most powerful corporation. There are corporeate interests that are opposing his nomination, and will continue to oppose it; not because he has done them any injustice but because he has done more than any one man, or set of men, to compel them to bear something like their proper share of the burden of taxation. As governor he will maintain that sturdy independence that made his administration of the auditor's office the most successful in the history of the state—and of his nomination and election next year there is really no doubt."—Lakefield Standard. TURPENTINE INDUSTRY Operators in the South Adopting New Method of Extraction. The discovery of a new way of extracting turpentine, made two years ago by Dr. Charles H. Herty, working under the direction of the bureau of forestry, is resulting in a complete change of methods by turpentine operators all over the south. In a bulletin published last spring by the bureau of forestry the claim was made that the experiments with the new cup and gutter system of turpentine had resulted in an increase over the old boxing system of 23 per cent, in the amount of the product extracted. This figure has now been raised to more than 36 per cent. In other words, Dr. Herty's system, when universally adopted in the south, as it is bound to be sooner or later, will have raised the turpentine production of this country by more than a third, provided the same number of trees are used. Two years ago when Dr. Herty first made known his discoveries he put 20,000 cups into operation. Last year this figure was increased to about 400,000. This year a conservative estimate places the number of cups to be used at 3,000,000. The figures give some indication of the rapidity with which turpentine operators are adopting the new system. The change of methods has been so rapid that the pottery company which undertook to supply operators with earthen cups has been unable to keep up with its orders and has been obliged to refuse contracts for over two million cups. It is safe to say that the majority of the large turpentine operators in this country have given up the boxing system and will extract their turpentine by means of cups and gutters. The economic saving of this new discovery is enormous. It not only causes a great increase in the amount of turpentine produced, but it is a most important factor in saving the pine forests of the south. Everyone knows that trees from which turpentine has been extracted by the old method—"boxed" timber, it is called—soon die from the wounds inflicted on them. The cup and gutter system, on the other hand, is not fatal to the life of the tree, and does very little damage to the timber. The bureau of forestry has arranged to give the personal assistance of Dr. Herty to turpentine operators who desire to install the new system. HOW THE MINK HUNTS. Unseen Tragedies Read from Tracks in the Snow. If you will follow a mink's track in the snow any winter day it will usually lead you, before long, to the mute story of a tragedy just some trampled snow and a red stain. The whole method of the mink's hunting is told by the snow. We see how it follows a rabbit, taking every precaution not to betray their presence while the wretched creature feeds, for then it is alert; how it follows bunny to where it sleeps beneath a log, an upturned root or the snow-covered top of a fallen tree, and then stealthily creeps on the unsuspecting prey. How sometimes the rustling of a dead leaf warms the rabbit, who leaps forward perhaps just in time to avoid the furious onslaught of the mink; though more often too late, and the red stain tells us that the rabbit has been eaten where it expected to sleep.—Country Life in America. It May Be. We are voicing our views on the general foolishness of some women when they play whist. "But," objects one of the company, "some of the brightest women I know play whist." "It only seems that way," disputes a grizzled gentleman in the corner. "They simply shine by contrast."—Judge. —A boy of 8 should weigh fifty-four and one-half pounds, have a height of four feet and a chest girth of twenty-four and one-half inches. BEATRICE PAGET. The latest wedding of high social importance in London is that between Beatrice, the beautiful younger daughter of Lady Alexander Paget, and Lord Herbert, a nephew of the late Sir Michael Herbert, who married Leila Wilson of New York and whose niece, May Goelet, married the Duke of Roxburghe. THE SCIENCE OF EASTERN RUGS. Bokharas and Samarcands from Central Asia Are Sui Generis. The lovely Bokharas and Samarcands, which come from a Russian province in Central Asia, are sui generis, being classed by themselves under the name of Turcoman rugs. Few of the last-named are found in America, the antique specimens being most rare, the modern production small. They have a velvety, soft, short nap, are very piant, and are often of a jewel-like brilliancy of coloring. Pale warm tans, emerald green, orange, sapphire blue, and Bokhara reds are usually comprised in these rugs, one end of which is always fringed with a cut fringe the other with sparse twisted loops. The center is distinguished by three circles, one below the other, in varying colors, each being filled with rosette or geometrical forms, the whole surrounded by several border lines. The Bokhara is notable for its uniformity of pattern and its predominating red or maroon ground. When green and blue figures mingle upon it, the effect is not pleasing, save to the accustomed eye. When patterned principally in dull blues and lighter reds, it is not to be surpassed for library or hall use. The Afghan-Bokharas are distinguished by similar red grounds by the wide, fringeless seivedges on each end, and by the mingling of dark blue, dull yellows or tans, with cream, in the octagonal figures that pattern them. They are softer, have a shorter and finer nap than have the Khivas, and average a slightly lower price than the Bokharas. The Beloochistan is among the smallest of rugs, the price rising from $12 for the smallest sizes, to $50 for the largest, which are about 8 by 5 feet. They are to be recognized by their dark maroon colorings, and beautiful blendings of softly glossy blues, dull rose tones, browns, and creams.—Harper's Bazar. Enormous Diamond Profits. At the annual meeting of the De Beers Consolidated mines, limited, the report showed that the diamonds produced during the past year realized £5,241,172, and that the expenditure amounted to £2,938,873. The profit, after writing off £738,000 for depreciation, amounted to £2,302,298. During the year the dividends on investments amounted to over £23,000, the profits on investment to £32,000, interest on consols £29,000, estate revenue £25,000, and other revenue between £9000 and £10,000. The ice in Greenland is melting more rapidly than it is formed. Comparison of the descriptions of the Jacobshaven glacier shows that its edge has receded eight miles since 1850, and it has lost 20 to 30 feet in depth. NUMBER 2. A COUNTESS. PAGET. Importance in London is that between Bea- daughter of Lady Alexander Paget, and Michael Herbert, who married Leila Goelet, married the Duke of Rox- W. W. M'CONNELL, Dairy and Food Commissioner for State of Minnesota. There is not any state in the Union which has any better dairy and food laws than the state of Minnesota under the supervision of the present dairy and food commissioner, W. W. McConnell, and his efficient help, the people of this great state have been doubly benefited the health of the citizens has been pro- fected and the markets have been opened up in all parts of the world for the products of the farmers of the state. Everywhere in the state and in the national dairy convention, the Minnesota butter has been second to none in the world. Indeed, it has taken the lead, and consequently the dairy department has won praise. Under Mr. McConnell the department has done more work, acted upon more cases and analyzed more samples than in the preceding six years. He has won for himself a national reputation as dairy commissioner and has consequently reflected credit on the administration. Personally we have only words of praise to bestow upon Mr. McConnell for his courteous treatment and words of encouragement and assistance to us in the work in which we are engaged. We wish there were more like him in this and other states. We wish him a lengthened career of public usefulness. Capital Surrenders and Is in Hands of Revolutionists. JIMINEZ IS PRESIDENT lution Is Ended. Cape Haytien, Hayti, Nov. 11.—Further advices from Monte Cristi, Santo Domingo, from which place it was reported yesterday that the capital of that republic, San Domingo, had capitulated to the revolutionists and that Gen. Jiminez had been proclaimed President, say that during the last hours of the fighting the city of San Domingo was threatened with bombardment as a result of the resistance of the government troops. Siege of San Domingo. San Domingo, Republic of Santo Domingo, Tuesday, Nov. 10.—The city is closely besieged by the revolutionists and commerce is paralyzed. Firing around San Domingo continues. Many shells are falling into the city. The political situation is unchanged. The German warships Panther and Gazelle are here. Italy Will Send Warship. Rome, Nov. 11.—The Duke of Abruzzi, commander of the Italian third class cruiser Liguria, now at New Orleans, has been instructed by the admiralty here to proceed to Santo Domingo if the revolution there renders such a step necessary for the protection of Italian subjects. A dispatch received in Paris last night from Cape Haytien announced that after three days' fighting the President of Santo Domingo, Gen. Wos y Gil, took refuge in the German consulate there. It was added that the revolution was considered to be at an end. RUSSIA VERY FRIENDLY Count Cassini Says the Feeling Toward America Is Cordial—No Russian Soldiers in Corea. New York, Nov. 11.—Before departing for Washington today, Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, in an interview, spoke of the friendly feeling of Rusisa and Russians toward the United States. In regard to the Tien Tsin dispatch to the London Daily Mail, published today that Russia was evacuating Corea, he took occasion to say that Russia had no troops in Corea itself, having only small adjacent stations at Masanpho and Chenulpho. The feeling of Russia toward America was, he said, one of the utmost friendship, though the feelings of the Russians had been somewhat wounded by the American attitude in the Kishineff incident. He spoke of the present Panama situation as interesting and important, but could give no information about Russia's attitude. ALABAMA WILL SEND NEGRO DELEGATES. President Roosevelt's "Color" Policy Is Given Support by the Republics of the South. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 11.—The Alabama supporters of President Roosevelt, white and colored, yesterday pledged their support to the President's well known policy. At a conference of more than sixty Republicans, resolutions declaring that negroes should have a place on the delegation to the next Republican national convention as well as representation on all the sub-committees were adopted without dissent. Capt. Charles H. Scott of Montgomery was endorsed for Alabama's member of the National Republican convention to succeed Capt. W. J. Dimmick. SERVIA AND BULGARIA TO FIGHT TURKEY Discovery of Plot to Force War on the Sultan Leads to Arrest of Many Army Officers. Vienna, Nov. 11.—A dispatch received here today from Sofia attributes the recent arrests of army officers to the discovery of a plot engineered by Bulgarian and Servian officers to force a war upon Turkey, which was to be attacked by the combined armies of the two countries. ADMIRAL BEARDSLEE DIES Prominent American Naval Officer Succumbs to a Stroke of Apoplexy— Long in the Service. Augusta, Ga., Nov. 11.—Rear Admiral Lester Anthony Beardslee, U. S. N., retired, died suddenly last night of apoplexy. WOMAN WINS FIRST PRIZE IN RUSH FOR GOVERNMENT LAND By Neat Resort to Strategy She Easily Distances All Comers. Crookston, Minn., Nov. 11. — With women protesting against being crushed to death and both men and women fainting and falling under the feet of the greedy land hunters, nearly 1000 persons packed the government land office and through the halls of the building, up to the second floor, on which the office is located, awaiting the formal opening of about 500,000 acres of land in the Red Lake Indian reservation. It was the biggest crush for land ever known. The prize claim, perhaps, fell to the first one to get through the door, Miss Gustava B. Anderson from Minneapolis, who got a quarter section of valuable agricultural land south of Red lake and about nine miles north of the Great Northern railroad. The land, with the timber on it, is valued at $10,000 to $12,000. Arriving here with a friend, S. P. Olsen, who had accompanied her on her hunt for land, she could find no lodging accommodations. The land office was to be locked up at midnight and none allowed to pass till 6 this morning, when everybody could rush for a position. Secreting herself in the parlor of the hotel, which is in the building, and engaging the elevator boy to be in his car before 6 in the morning, she watched the night through. The elevator was kept between the second and third floors and at a signal it shot to the second floor, and Miss Anderson had covered the distance to the door before the others could get around the elevator. One hundred and seventy-two filings were received the first day. Fourteen women were successful and about twenty disappointed. HIGH CHURCH SCORED BY BISHCP DOANE. PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL BISHOP OF ALBANY OPPOSES COLORED VESTMENTS AND INCENSE. Albany, N. Y., Nov. 11.—Bishop Doane of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Albany, in addressing the diocesan council, scored high church and ritualistic practices. He discussed the forms of worship and said that he did not think that colored vestments and incense, while perhaps they could not be forbidden, were to the manner born with an Englishman or an American of today. Continuing, he said: "The one plainly prohibited intrusion into our church which, as a bishop, I cannot tolerate or allow, is the reservation of one of the consecrated elements of the holy eucharist. It has no proper place either on the altar with the sanctuary lamp burning before it, or in that most objectionable function called the benediction of the blessed sacrament." The bishop asked for the appointment of a coadjutor bishop, as his health makes it impossible for him to attend to all the great amount of work in his diocese. COAL STRIKE ORDERLY. There Has Been No Trouble in the Coal Districts of Colorado—Shortage Is Being Felt. Denver, Colo., Nov. 11.—Reports from all coal camps where miners were on strike are to the effect that good order is being maintained. Colorado Fuel and Iron company officials claim to have more men working in the southern field than on Monday, but the number of miners on strike in that region is conservatively estimated at 7000. With 1800 additional miners in Fremont county and about 2000 in the northern field the total number of strikers in this state exceeds 10,000. Denver, Colo., Nov. 11.—The Overland and Cotton mills have been closed down because of the lack of coal. This is the first large institution in Denver to close because of the strike. Four hundred persons are thrown out of employment. Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. 11.—The coal miners in this state have been granted an increase of 10 per cent. in their wages. Specials from the different camps show that the advance has been general, the rate of pay being raised from $2.50 to $2.75 a day. FEAR A POLITICAL RIOT. Trouble at Birmingham, Eng., May Occur at Meeting Where Chamberlain's Policy Is Attacked. Birmingham, Eng., Nov. 11.—Political feeling is running so high here over the meeting tonight at which Lord Hugh Cecil and Winston Churchill will oppose Joseph Chamberlain's fiscal proposals that extraordinary police precautions have been necessitated. Strong barricades are being erected around the town hall, where it is anticipated an outbreak may occur, similar to the riotous proceedings which marked the pro-Boer meeting at which David Lloyd George, M. P., denounced Mr. Chamberlain and the South African war. Sandwich men are parading the streets with placards reading: "Shall the Radicals be allowed to oppose our Joe?" and inviting the work people to attend the meeting. Thousands of people have gathered outside the town hall. MURDERS HUSBAND WHILE HE SLEPT. He Consents to Have Wife Taken to an Insane Asylum and She Shoots Him. Dover, Del., Nov. 11.—Mrs. Edith Hollis, a member of an influential Camden (Del.) family, murdered her husband, Delaware T. Hollis, by shooting him while he was asleep early today. The husband had consented to his wife being sent to an asylum for the insane. Mrs. Hollis was 25 years old and her husband was 35. The woman had been confined in an insane asylum for several months, but her relatives were allowed to take her home about a month ago, the impression being that she was cured. Recently, however, she became violent and was placed under restraint. Early today she eluded the guard and, escaping from the house, made her way to her own home, where she found her husband sleeping and killed him. HUNTER'S RIFLE SLAYS. Prominent Young Marquette Man Shoots and Kills David Pickett, Mistaking Him for Deer. Marquette, Mich., Nov. 11.—David Pickett, a carpenter, was shot and instantly killed by Fred Murray, a hunter and a prominent young man of this city, who mistook Mr. Pickett for a deer. Under the new law in this state prosecution in cases of accidental shooting by hunters is mandatory. The penalty under the statute is imprisonment not exceeding ten years or fine not over $1000. Stevens Point, Wis., Nov. 11.—Jacob Isadore, a boy hunting in the woods, was accidentally shot in the leg by a stray bullet. He will recover. Portage, Wis., Nov. 11.—Edward La Vigne was accidentally shot in the foot while handling a rifle. NEW POWER IN STEEL Control by Rockefeller and Gould Explains Many Mysteries. New York, Nov. 11.—The acquisition of a controlling interest in the United States Steel corporation by John D. Rockefeller and George J. Gould will explain, in the opinion of local bankers, the present decline in Steel shares and the eccentric conduct of Pennsylvania railway stocks. Yesterday Pennsylvania shares reached the lowest point of the year, going to $114\%$. This decline is explained by bankers, who say that all the business now done by that road for the Steel corporation will be transferred to the Wabash, the Gould road, which reaches all the points served by the Pennsylvania. Investors are not buying Steel shares, and the average trader is afraid of them under existing conditions. The logic of the situation, therefore, is that none but a powerful syndicate with a well-defined purpose can afford to invest on a falling market. The reasons moving Rockefeller to acquire control of the street trust fit in perfectly with his widespread interests in railways and the carrying facilities on the Great Lakes. KILLS FAMILY AS HE FEARED INSANITY. SAGINAW (MICH.) DENTIST SHOOTS WIFE AND DAUGHTER AND TAKES POISON. Writes Letter to Friend Which Leads to Discovery of Tragedy—Wife Cannot Recover. Saginaw, Mich., Nov. 10.—While apparently afflicted with temporary insanity Dr. E. W. Light, one of Saginaw's most respected residents, and a dentist with a large practice, shot his wife and only daughter Sunday night, after which he ended his own life with a dose of carbolic acid. Both father and daughter were dead when found yesterday afternoon and Mrs. Light is at St. Mary's hospital, with no hope of recovery, not having regained consciousness since the tragedy. since the tragedy. The discovery of what had occurred was made in a peculiar manner. None of the neighbors heard the pistol shots, but a letter postmarked Saginaw, 8 p.m., Sunday, was received from Dr. Light by R. B. Taylor of Bay City, one of his most intimate friends. In this letter Dr. Light gave intimation of what was in his mind in the following terms: This is the last consignment of teeth. I just had a new one made out today. The agent was here, and my head pained me so I could not tell what I was doing. Oh, dear, this terrible pain has just let up. It stops for a few minutes at a time, and then how the terrible palm haunts me! I can't leave my dear ones to suffer when I am gone. It will be worse than death for them to stay here. It will soon be over. Something tells me I must. E. W. LIGHT. Mr. Taylor came at once to Saginaw, and, going to the Light home, knocked for admission, without avail. He notified Chief of Police Kain, and that official entered the house by an upstairs window. In a bedroom was Mrs. Light on the bed, gasping for breath, a bullet having been sent through her head, and on the floor beside the bed the dead body of her husband. In the kitchen, on the lower floor, with three bullet holes in her head, was Miss Ruby Light, aged 19, who had evidently been shot down in attempting to leave the house and escape her insane father. Light then ended his own life with poison. For some months he had complained of pains in his head, though he gave no indications, except in the letter, of the terrible deed he was contemplating. HARVARD GETS MILLIONS. Gordon McKay Will Gives 80 Per Cent. of Net Income of $20,000,000 Estate— Sons Cut Off with $100. Boston, Mass., Nov. 10.—Harvard university is to have 80 per cent. of the net income of the $20,000,000 estate of Gordon McKay after certain annuities, amounting to $47,600. are provided for. The two minor sons of the late manufacturer are cut off with an allowance of $100 a year until they reach the age of 21 years. The will was offered for probate in Boston yesterday. The instrument bears date of November 30, 1887. Since then Mr. McKay from time to time made liberal provisions for those near to him, or who had claims upon him, sometimes by outright gifts and sometimes by codicil. The will first directs the payment of certain annuities, among them the following: To Mrs. Marian von Brunig, his divorced wife . . . $11,500 To his sons, Victor and Robert, until they are 21 . . . 100 To Miss Jennie B. Bryan, Chicago . . . 3,000 The second clause provides for annuities of $2500 each to his sons after they are 21 or after their mother's death. The third clause is the most important. It gives to Harvard university 80 per cent. of the net income of the estate after the trusts for the annuities are created, the other 20 per cent. being reserved to make up any possible deficiency in the annuities. Harvard's share of the income is to accumulate until it amounts to $1,000,-000, when it is to be paid over and applied to certain uses, among them advancing scientific education and aiding meritorious students. On the death of the last of the annuitants the executors are to pay over to Harvard the entire estate and all unexpended income to be used in the furtherance of scientific education. A contest on behalf of the two minor sons is almost certain. STRIKE IS EXTENSIVE. Tie-up in the Western Coal Fields Exceeds Expectations in Its Far-Reaching Influence. Denver, Colo., Nov. 10.—The tie-up in the Colorado coal fields in consequence of the strike order issued by President Mitchell of the United Mineworkers of America is more extensive than was expected. In Las Animas county the union leaders assert that only 100 of the 8000 men employed are working today. In Huerrano county there are 1800 miners of whom more than 1000 are already on strike. Practically all the 800 miners in Fremont county are idle. In the northern field 1500 miners are on strike. In western Colorado about 1000 miners are working, but organizers are busy among them. Union leaders at Trinidad say that 80 per cent. of the miners in New Mexico have gone out. In Wyoming and Utah, the strike has not yet become effective. Gov. Peabody has announced that no troops would be sent to the coal fields today. The Colorado Fuel and Iron company has notified all men in its employ occupying company dwellings that they will be evicted by Friday morning if they fail to return to work. "Mother" Jones is holding meetings at the various camps and is everywhere received with enthusiasm by the miners. Judicious Flattery "Prisoner, have you anything to say in your own behalf?" "Only this, judge. It comforts me to know that one wise man on the bench can undo much of the mischief wrought by twelve idiots in the jury box." Whereupon the judge gave him the minimum sentence.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Tumut the Future Great. The Australian federation seems likely to settle upon Tumut as the permanent capital of the commonwealth. But it is a condition that the town must change its name. Ottawa, the capital of Canada, was originally named Bytown, but Tumut is must worse. To keep the whole German army in the field for a week would cost $30,000,000. Seven million persons in India are to be vaccinated with plague serum. A NEW CANAL TREATY. Secretary Hay Will Confer With Envoy from the Isthmus. NEGOTIATE WITH PANAMA. Canal Company Offers Extension of Time During Negotiations—Democrats to Fight Rocsevelt's Policy. Paris, Nov. 11.—Ambassador Porter called at the foreign office today and had a long conversation with Foreign Minister Delcasse concerning the events at Panama. The discussion showed that a most harmonious accord of views existed between the two governments. The ambassador took occasion to thank M. Delcasse for the friendly and sympathetic attitude of France. France will leave the United States untrammeled in connection with Isthmian affairs. Berlin, Nov. 11.—The imperial chancellor, Count von Buelow, authorizes the Associated Press to declare that all rumors of German interference in Colombian affairs are baseless and that Germany follows with its sympathies the effects of the United States to establish order in the isthmus. Washington, D. C., Nov. 11.—An important conference will be held this afternoon between Secretary Hay and M. Philippe Bunau-Varilla, the envoy from Panama, at the residence of the secretary for the purpose of considering the opening of negotiations with the republic of Panama for the early conclusion of a canal treaty. Mr. Bunau-Varilla returned from New York last night. The commission which is coming from Panama, the envoy points out, is merely for the purpose of facilitating the negotiations. M. Bunau-Varilla, it is said, has full power to conduct the negotiations, but in case a question arises on which the opinion of the government is desired he will refer it to the commission for decision and thus avoid the necessity of cabling to Panama. Replies to Colombia's Protest. The reply of the state department to the protest by Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge, was forwarded to him today. It was merely a formal acknowledgment that the protest had been received. Original Treaty Dead It is stated here on authority that it is too late for Colombia to make any effort to resurrect the canal treaty with the United States and beyond preventing a hostile clash between Colombia and the new republic of Panama, the proposed visit of Gen. Reyes to Panama will be without result. The same authority points out that the United States government, having recognized Panama as an independent state, cannot now proceed to negotiate with Colombia on any terms for canal rights in a state over which Colombia exercises no political control, so any future canal negotiations will be between the United States government and the government of Panama. Company Grants Extension of Time. Paris, Nov. 11.—W. N. Cromwell, American counsel for the Panama Canal company, sailed today for New York. During his stay here Mr. Cromwell held extended conferences with the company and he goes home prepared to represent the company during the negotiations for a new canal treaty. The company's officials have announced their willingness to grant an extension of time for the American purchase of the concession, sufficient to permit the negotiation and ratification of a new treaty. Will Do Business with Panama. Another question considered was the right to make a treaty with the republic of Panama, under the present law specifically authorizing a treaty with the republic of Colombia. It is understood that the legal advisers of the company hold that a treaty with Panama is authorized under the present law as Panama succeeds to the sovereignty of Colombia. Moreover, they hold that the United States Senate's ratification of the treaty with Panama will cure any possible defects of a treaty under the present law. SENATE ASKS FOR FACTS. Wants Information in Regard to the Panama Situation. Washington, D. C., Nov. 11.—Senator Cullom, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, today presented the following concurrent report: "That the President be requested to communicate to the Senate, if not in his judgment incompatible with the public interests, all correspondence and other official documents relating to the recent revolution on the isthmus of Panama." At Senator Cullom's request the resolution was referred to the committee on foreign relations. DEMOCRATS WILL ATTACK POLICY The Steering Committee Is Considering the Panama Affair. Washington, D. C., Nov. 11.—The Democratic steering committee was in session before the Senate met today and again considered the Panama situation. No conclusion was reached, but the indications are that the Democrats will attack the course of the administration on the isthmus, with reference to the establishment of the new republic of Panama. ASSASSINATED IN CHICAGO Chicago, Ill., Nov. 11.—The friends of Roopan Dyean, a young Armenian who was found dead in bed yesterday morning, are of the opinion that he was murdered and class his death with the assassinations which have been taking place of late in different parts of the world. Dyean had but lately arrived in this country. Picture Hat, Attorney Declares, Also Influenced the Body. St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 11.—In the case of Miss Judith E. Plaunt against the Midway Transfer company for injuries the attorney for the company, arguing before the supreme court for an appeal, declared that the testimony of six people was rejected by the jury in favor of that of two witnesses, because the plaintiff was very pretty and wore a picture hat. FORM CO-OPERATIVE PLANT. Men Thrown Out of Work Because of Introduction of Machinery. Greensburg, Pa., Nov. 11.—Thrown out of employment by the installation of glassmaking machines in the Jeannette plant of the American Window Glass company, a half hundred blowers of Jeannette, with their full complement of gatherers, flatteners and cutters, are organizing a company to build a co-operative plant at a cost of $100,000. Over 1000 men were thrown out of employment The Senate was called to order on the 9th by President Pro Tem. Frye at noon, seventy senators answering the roll call. The formal proclamation calling the extra session was read, and Senators Hoar and Gorman were appointed to act with a committee of the House to notify the President that Congress was organized. The certificate of Senator Stephen R. Mallory of Florida was presented and he took the oath. A resolution by Senator Cullom fixing 12 o'clock noon as the hour of convening was adopted, and the Senate at 12:14 adjourned. The session of the Senate on the 10th was devoted exclusively to the reading of the President's message and to the routine incident to its receipt of the message. On motion of Mr. Cullom it was voted to refer to the committee on foreign affairs both the message and the Cuban treaty, the text of which has been transmitted with the message. The Senate then at 12:15 o'clock adjourned. A number of petitions and many new bills were received in the Senate on the 11th. Some of the petitions protested against Senator Smoot of Utah remaining in the Senate. Mr. Gallinger (N. H.) introduced the first bill, providing for the erection of a statue to The House joint resolution making immediately available the appropriation for mileage of senators and members was adopted The Senate then at 12:20 went into executive session and adjournment was voted at 1:45 o'clock.

Kyle of Ohio were sworn in as members, and then the House at 12:05 o'clock adjourned. SPORTING ITEMS. It looks as though boxing is likely to flourish in Chicago this winter, with certain restrictions. That the number of clubs will be limited is certain, and this is as it should be. Too many promoters ruined the sport a year ago, and the con sequent jealousy existing between them culminated in a seance of "knocking" by all hands that dealt boxing an effectual death blow. Mayor Harrison declared last night that he would not interfere with boxing at the C. A. A. or Watita League club, nor at regularly organized and properly conducted clubs. 残 卑 卑 The decision of Referee Ned Violett in declaring Kid Broad victor over Tim Callahan in the ten-round fight before the Southern Athletic club of New Orleans has aroused condemnation, the impression prevailing that the Philadelphia should have had nothing worse than a draw. Some believed he earned the decision. * * * Maurice Sayers of Milwaukee and Clarence Forbes of Chicago have been rematched for the fourth time. They will meet in a ten-round contest at Battle Creek, Mich., on November 26. The Milwaukee boy says he should have had the decision the last time they met and a draw before. Buddy Ryan and Gus Gardner, who fought before the Badger club of Milwaukee may be rematched for a fifteen-round contest in Saginaw, Mich., on December 21. Both men will deposit $150 for weight, which is 135 pounds. * * * Jimmy Handler and Cyclone Kelly met at the Southern Athletic club, Philadelphia, and Handler quit in the third round. * * * Sandy Ferguson was given the decision over Joe Walcott after fifteen rounds of fast, clean fighting before the Criterion Athletic club of Boston. Ferguson showed superior form and the decision met with general approval. President Herrmann of the National Baseball commission has refused to interfere in the case of Infielder Devlin, who was fined $100 for deserting an Eastern league team before the end of the playing season to coach a college football eleven. Mr. Herrmann thinks those interested should be able to adjust the trouble. The cases of Dundon and Jones, who are claimed by Denver and the Chicago American league club, and Marshall, claimed by Newark and the Chicago National league club, will be settled by the commission later. * * * The Three Eye league averages for the season of 1903 have been made public by M. H. Sexton, the retiring president. Davenport leads in batting, with .262, and also in fielding, with .950. Hines of Davenport, playing the full season, led in individual batting with .339. In fielding Dickey of Rock Island, first baseman, led with .990. Hines of Davenport, second baseman, .952; Bewer of Dubuque, third baseman, .931; Berte of Cedar Rapids, shortstop, .937; Graham of Rock Island, outfielder, 1000; Williams of Davenport, catcher, .974; Gill of Cedar Rapids, pitcher, .889. ```markdown ``` Jockey Helgesen, the most skillful rider who appeared on the Chicago tracks this season and the boy which piloted The Picket to victory in the American derby, is seriously ill with pneumonia in Louisville. ※ ※ ※ Orrion Hickok, formerly one of the best-known drivers and trainers of fast horses in the country, died at the state hospital of Cleveland, O., of softening of the brain. Hickok was 60 years of age. * * * In the northwestern billiard championship at Minneapolis two matches were played. Charles Ferris defeated Hatley of Duluth by 109 points. Ferris' high run was 91, while Hatley's was 34. Ferris was defeated by Billiter by 69 points. Billiter's high run was 94. MODERN EDUCATIONAL METHODS. Subject Is Large and Vague and Definition Impossible. All the schools and all the colleges are started again in their year's work. The private schools hereabouts open from two to four weeks later than the public schools, the boarding schools in the country starting, as a rule, about a fortnight earlier than the private schools in the cities, which hold off necessarily until a fair proportion of their pupils get back from the country to town. Most of the colleges start late, too, for the college professors long since found it to their advantage to have as much as possible of the year's vacation come in the summer months. Three months clear in the summer is a slice of time that can be put to important use, and nowadays most of the college professors get it. What are the young people learning, and by what methods is it being taught to them? That is a hard question if one attempts to answer it in detail. Education seems to be still an experiment; new theories are constantly being put on trial; old methods are constantly being swapped for new, and almost as constantly the new methods stir misgivings in the minds of some of the observers. Even the kindergarten is not yet above criticism. Able and amusing writers have poked a good deal of rather penetrating fun at it in the magazines, and though as an institution it is well founded and sure to last and to do good, the usefulness of kindergarten methods is felt to have bounds. The aspiration to make education so easy and so pleasant that it will be no trouble to any one is not universally applauded just now, and when critics and commentators declare that effort has great educational value, and that children ought to learn to overcome difficulties, the advocates of the primrose path have to do a good deal of explaining. We know in a general way that small children are being taught to read and write, that some of them are learning to spell, that they learn arithmetic, geography, and abhorrence of liquor on physiological grounds, and other useful branches. Whether they are taught this year to read a whole word at a time, or by syllables, we don't know. We hope it doesn't matter, for whatever method prevails just now seems likely to be found defective before the year after next. It is rather a vague business, this directing of the young idea. The little ships have a pretty wide channel ahead, with deep water from shore to shore, and the folks who want to mark this course or that with buoys as the only safe one may be taking more pains than the facts warrant. There is a schoolmaster in New York who can talk, on compulsion, about the education of girls, but some of his parent customers complain that he talks indefinitely, and that they know no more after hearing him than before. They pay him a compliment. The subject is large and vague, and he realizes it. Nobody talks other than vaguely about a large, vague subject, except persons who do not realize how large and vague the subject is.—Harper's Weekly. Happy Woman. C Mrs. Pare, wife of C. B. Pare, a prominent resident of Glasgow, Ky., says: "I was suffering from a complication of kidney troubles. Besides a bad back I had a great deal of trouble with the secretions, which were exceedingly variable, sometimes excessive and at other times scanty. The color was high, and passages were accompanied with a scalding sensation. Doan's Kidney Pills soon regulated the kidney secretions, making their color normal and banished the inflammation which caused the scalding sensation. I can rest well, my back is strong and sound and I feel much better in every way." For sale by all dealers, price 50 cents per box.

SLAIN BY AN ANGRY MAN. Battle in Front of Opera House at Wallace, Ida. PANIC IN A THEATER. Policeman Forced Miner to Stop Smoking in Gallery and Shooting Affray Follows. Wallace, Ida., Nov. 10.—Two persons were killed and two wounded in a shoot- ing affray at the entrance of the Wallace Opera house last night. The shooting oc- eurred just as the theater-goers were leaving, following a performance by the James Neill company. The dead: P FIMS, DR. W. F., shot through the head. CUFF WILLIAM, miner, shot three times, dled In fifteen minutes. ‘The wounded: Chief of Police McGovern, shot In hand. Opera House Policeman Rose, shot in leg. The trouble arose over Cuff insisting on smoking a cigar in the gallery. House Policeman Rose ordered him to stop, but he refused. The policeman took ‘the cigar away from Cuff after 4 strug- gle. Cuff left the theater vowing ven- geance. He returned with a revolver and waited until the performance was over. Rose was the first man out of the thea- ter. As he stepped outside Cuff began firing. The first shot missed and Rose re- turned the fire. Dr, Fims, who was es- corting a woman, followed Rose out and as he did so a bullet, presumably from Cuff’s revolver, struck him in the head, killing him instantly. Other policemen appeared at this moment and a general fusillade followed. The _panic-stricken theater-goers ran back into the foyer, men and women being trampled upon in the rush to get away. Cuff continued firing, wounding Chief of Police McGoy- ern and Special Officer Rose.” Cuff then started to escape, running around the cor- ner of the theater. He was intercepted by Policeman Quinn, who kept up a run- ning fire, three bullets taking effect. Cuff fell unconscious and died soon after. A number of people were injured in the stampede. GERMANY WON’T AID COLOMBIA. The Foreign Office Would Not Entertain Any Proposition to Establish a Protectorate. Berlin, Nov. 10.—The Colombian com- mission if it comes here will receive no consideration from the German govern- ment. The correspondent of the Associated Press today called the foreign office's at- tention to the statement made yesterday by Arturo De Brigard, the Colombian censul general in New York, that the Colombians were clamoring for a German protectorate over their country and that the Colombian government had been asked to send a commission to Germany to offer Emperor William certain pieces of land on both seas iu return for Ger- many’s protection. The reply was: “We have heard nothing on the #: ject, but if a commission comes with stck a proposition it would not be entertained for one moment. We have no intention of mixing themselves in the affairs of the isthmian states. We are still without any communication from our consular repre- sentatives in regard to the revolution or asking protection, hence we haye omitted to ask the United States to look after German interests. The statements re- garding our commercial interests in Co- lombia and Panama have been much ex- aggerated, but we hope to see our trade there prosper better after the United States builds the canal.” Foreign Secretary Von Richthofen in- formed Ambassador Tower today that there is ne truth whatever in the report of the intention of Colombia to appeal to Germany and nothing is known here of any intention to make such an appeal. The foreign secretary assured the am- bassador that Germany has no in- terest in the Panama matter and that the question of an_ interfer- ence in Panama upon_the part of Ger- many does not exist. Baron Von Richt- hofen made these statements in an ear- nest and formal manner and wished them to be communicated to the United States government, which the ambassador ac- cordingly has done. SHOT FROM AMBUSH. Gang of Italians at Donora, Pa., As- sassinate Policeman and Lynch- ing May Result. Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 10.—At Donora last night as a result of the attempt of a gang of Italians to assassinate a police- man, two men are dying, a third is wounded and five Italians are locked up in the Donora lockup threatened with lynching by an angry mob. The wounded men are: Policeman Isaac Johnson, aged 43, mar- ried, fatally wounded. A. W. Kallert, aged 25, cannot recover. An unknown man shot through the thigh. Will recover. As Policeman Johnson was patrolling his beat he was fired on by a gang of Italians from ambush and fell mortally wounded to the street, with a bullet in his abdomen. A gang of Italians, num- bering about ten, rushed from the road- side to seek cover in the Italian settle- ment. In a short time a mob had col- lected and _a posse was immediately or- ganized. The Italians had been trackea to an abandoned house standing by it- self and the posse, armed with clubs and revolvers, made a rush for the house only to find the doors barricaded. They were greeted with a_yolley from inside the house and A. W. Kallert, one of the posse, fell with a bullet in his abdomen. Again the mob made a rush at the house breaking in the door. Another of the prs fell, this time with a wound in is thigh. The Italians made a desper- ate attempt to escape and several man- aged to get away. Five of them were captured and taken to the Donora jail under a heavy guard. By this time a mob of angry people was in front of the lockup.

Girls Scratch Her Face and Tear Off Her Clothes in Mad Frenzy of Baltimore, Md., Nov. 11.—In a wild frenzy of revenge, seventy members of the graduating class of the western high school have set upon Miss Lilly Bengert, their classmate, whom they accused of being a “tale-bearer.” They scratched her face until the blood ran, kicked her books into the gutter and then tried to tear off her clothing. Miss Bengert finally broke away and ran, pursed by nearly 200 girls. She finally dashed into a grocery and the clerks barred the doors until the police scattered the crowd. The rioters were 15 to 18 years old and the scene of the trouble was in the most fashionable quarter of the city. —— eset cea Crowds Cry “Down with Marroquin,” Co- lombia’s President, and Re- volt Is Probable.

Re- cently some of the stockholders became doubtful of the genuineness of the petri- fied one, and as a result it is now al- leged that the “phenomenon” is com- posed only of Portland cement.

ACCUSES FRATERNITY MEN OF MURDER. New York Doctor Tells How Greek Let- ter Society in Baltimore Col- lege Initiates. Accuses Members of Causing the Death of Martin Loew—Horribly Assault- ed While Taking Degrees. New York, Nov. 10.—Dr. Leopold Hirschmann of this city, a cousin of Martin Loew, a medical student, whose death occurred recently at Baltimore, soon after his initiation into a Greek letter fraternity, says he has received cesatte of the affair from a fellow stu- lent. The latter declared that when Loew went to the fraternity hall to take the first Cearee he was met by twenty-five men. He was told to undress, and after doing so was blindfolded and taken into a room, where he was laid upon a cake of ice, He was then carried upstairs to the baleony and thrown over the rail, a drop of twenty-five feet. On the floor beneath stood a number of students hold- ing a sheet. “When Loew fell into this,” said the doctor, “he was tossed up and down until he was unconscious. After being revived he was beaten until his body was a mass of bruises. “That night he was in such a condition that his room-mate stayed up all night with him. Whisky and quinine were given to him during the night, and in the morning he felt relieved. “The following Saturday he took the second degree. in the morning he was found dead and his chum, who had just taken the first degree, was in a serious condition. The guilty ones should be sent to the gallows. They are murderers.” IN HONOR BOUND. Mr. Roosevelt Says That Cuban Reci- procity Legislation Is Abso- lutely Necessary. Washington, D. C., Nov. 10.—The President sent the following message on the Cuban treaty to Congress today: ‘Yo the Senate and House of Representa- tives: I have convened the Congress that it may consider the legisiation necessary to put into operation the commercial treaty with Cuba which was ratified by the Senate at its last session and subsequently by the Cuban government. 1 deem such legislation demanded not only by our Interest but by pur honor. We cannot with propriety aban- Yon the course upon which we have so wisely embarked. When the aceptance of the Platt amendment was required from Cuba by the action of Congress of the Unit ed States, this government thereby defl- nitely committed itself to the policy of treating Cuba as occupying a unique posi- tion as regards this country. It was ~ yided that when the Island became a free and independent republic she should stand in such close relations with us as in certain respects to come within our system of in- ternational policy; and it necessarily fol- lowed that she must also to a certain de- gree become included within the lines of our economic policy, Situated as Cuba fs it would not be possible for this country to permlt the strategic abuse of the plan by any foreign military Fone, It is for this reason that certain limitations have been imposed upon her Snanclal policy and that naval stations have been conceded by her to the United States. The negotiations as to the details of these nayal stations are on the eve of completion. They are so situat- ed as to prevent any idea that there is the Intention ever to use them against Cuba or otherwise than for the protection of Cuba from the assaults of foreign foes, and for th better safeguarding of American {uter- est In the waters south of us. These interests have been largely In- creased by the ae of the war with Spain, and will be still further increased by the buliding of the Isthmian canal. They are both military and economic. The granting to us by Cuba of the naval stations above alluded to is of the utmost import- ance from a military standpolut, aud 1s proof of the good faith with which Cuba is treating us. Cuba has made great progress since her Independence was established. She has advanced steadily in every way. She already stands high among her sister republics of the new world. She is loyally observing her obligations to us and she is entitled to like treatment by us. The treaty submitted to you for approval secures to the United States economic aa- yantages as great as these given to Cuba. Not an American interest is saerificed. By the treaty a large Cuban market Is secured to our producers. It is a market which Hes at our doors which Is already large, which Is capable of great expansion and’ which 1s especialy Important to the development of our export trade.” It would be indeed short- sighted for us to refuse to take advantage of such opportunity and to force Cuba Into making arrangements with other countries to our disadvantage. This reciprocity treaty stands by itself. It is demanded ‘on consideration of broad national policy as well as by our economic intevest. It will do harm to no industry. It wiil benefit many industries. It is in the interest of our people as a whole, both be- gause of its importance from the broad standpoint of international polley and be- cause economically It intimately concerns us to deyelop and secure the rich Cuban market for our farmers, artisans, mer- chants and manufacturers. Finally it Is desirable as a guaranty of the good faith of our nation towards her young sister repub- le to the south, whose welfare must ever be closely bound with ours. We gave her Jiberty, we are knit to her by the memorles of the blood and the courage of our soldiers who fought for her in war; by the memories of the wisdom and Integrity of our adminis- trators who saved her in-peace and who started her so well on the difficult path of self-government. We must help her on- ward and upward; and in helping her we shall help ourselves, z The foregoing considerations caused the negotiation of the treaty with Cuba and {ts ratification by the Senate. They now with equal force support the legislation by the Congress which by the terms of the treaty is necessary to render It operative. A fallure to enact such legislation would come perilously near a repudiation of the pledged faith of the nation. i transmit herewith the treaty, as amend- ed by the Senate and. ratified by the Cuban government.

The principle of crowding out fear-thoughts by buoyant, hopeful, confident thoughts can be applied to all the many kinds of fear that daily and hourly beset us. At first it will be hard to change the current of thought, and to cease to dwell on somber and depressing things. An aid in the process is often advisable. A sudden change of work to something requiring concentration of mind will often act as a switch. Recalling some humorous or pleasant incident will sometimes "drive dull care away," as an old song has it. In the last analysis, all fear resolves itself into fear of death, and writers on the means of getting rid of fear dwell especially on this basic form. Death will, perhaps, always be a mystery, but, whatever view of it be taken, a logical analysis will remove the terror of it, especially of that form which makes lifeless human flesh a repulsive and terrible object. We think the feeling that Hindoos have about the flesh of animals very queer, since to us this is most appetizing food. Our own fear of a human corpse is just as foolish as the Hindoor fear, and, if we would rid ourselves of fear, we must teach ourselves so. Familiarity with the thing feared is always advisable, and frequently is quite sufficient. We know this to be true with horses, and have only to apply the matter to our own foolish fears. Horace Fletcher advises even a course in a hospital dissecting room if nothing else --- rooms with all modern conveniences for gentlemen only, where first-class accommodations can be had at a moderate price.

She received her education in St. Paul and Minneapolis and is a young lady of pleasing personality and refined taste. will dissipate the unreasoning fear of a dead body. "Whatever may lie beyond the tomb," says W. E. H. Lecky, "the tomb itself is nothing to us. The narrow prison house, the gloomy pomp and the hideousness of decay are known to the living, and the living alone. By a too common illusion of the imagination, men picture themselves as consciously dead—going through the process of corruption, and aware of it; imprisoned, with a knowledge of the fact, in the most hideous of dungeons. Endeavor earnestly to erase this illusion from your mind; for it lies at the root of the fear of death, and it is one of the worst sides of medieval and much modern art that it tends to strengthen it. Nothing, if we truly realize it, is less real than the grave. We should be no more concerned with the after fate of our discarded bodies than with that of the hair which the barber has cut off. The sooner they are resolved into their primitive elements, the better. The imagination should never be suffered to dwell upon their decay." Whatever the means, the task of conquering fear is the most important in character-building, and it will repay effort. Not until this is done—effectively, finally done—can the human soul take its proper place, and progress to higher and yet higher planes of power—Success. AN ANCIENT SNUFF MILL Two ancient snuff mills on Crum Creek, near Leiperville, Pa., have long caused conjecture as to how it happened that the man of many industries should introduce the manufacture of snuff in this vicinity at that early date, says a correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Although snuff-pinching and snuff-dipping were common indulgences in those ancient days it was unusual to find mills for its manufacture so far north at that time. The fact that Thomas Leiper, who came to America from Scotland in 1764, and when he was a boy of 19 landed in Virginia, the land of tobacco, and became interested in the tobacco business before he came to Philadelphia, explains the existence of these two old snuff mills near the middle of the Eighteenth century. Soon after he settled in Philadelphia Leiper established a tobacco warehouse at 9 North Water street. In 1774 Thomas Leiper became a snuff manufacturer on an extensive scale, and having located at 274 Market street, where he became a famous dealer in snuff and tobacco—those comforting essentials to the colonial gentry—he began to increase his purchases along Crum Creek and erect his famous mills, even before his interest in stone quarries and his extensive inventions in the Crum Creek valley. Both of these ancient snuff mills are roomy two-story buildings with sloping roof, capable of being changed into comfortable dwelling houses after the decline of the snuff industry. And while one of the buildings served as a roomy homestead for nearly half a century, the other has slowly fallen into ruin since its period of manufacturing usefulness, and at last both the ancient buildings are crumbling. that the service is everything that can be desired. Outside of his business Mr. Jefferson is popular socially and politically. In local politics he takes after his illustrious namesake, while on national issues he can always be depended upon by the G. O. P. It was largely through his influence and work that the honorable mayor was elected, as also Congressman Lynn. We hope next week to give his portrait. Meantime we give our readers those of his son and daughter. Minncapolis. Visitors to the City of Flour Mills, in want of a good meal elegantly served, can find what they need at the Opera cafe, 45 Palace court, conducted by Scott Blake. Everything is in first-class style. A specialty is made of business men's noonday lunch and 5 o'clock dinners. The prices are as low as is consistent with elegance and comfort and the waiting is all that could be desired.

The editor of The Advocate, having been absent from the city for some time, Milwaukee news has not received its one share of attention this week, but prominence will be given next week. We hear that not only grafting has been going on among the city fathers, but it is even rumored that such has invaded the sacred precincts of St. Mark's. Sisters who buy new clothes when out of work should look out. This matter will be looked into next week. For the first time in his American career Sir Henry Irving has reduced the price of his seats from $3 to $2.50 for his road tour. When Irving first came to America his productions were on such a scale of magnificence and his company contained so many high-priced artists that the public cheerfully paid $3 a seat. But times have changed since then. A number of American producers now stage plays on a scale of extravagance which has put the original Irving productions quite to the blush—and they have done this without raising the $2 tariff for seats. At the present time there are nearly a dozen attractions before the public which must have cost almost double the amount which Sir Henry was accustomed to spend upon a new production. Then, too, in former times the English actor always had Miss Ellen Terry as an associate star. The Cunard line is doing business with the wireless. The charges from a ship to a Marconi station are six shillings per word, and from ship to passing steamer and thence to station is the same price. "Tobv, M. P.," the distinguished English journalist, initiated the newspaper service on the Lucania's recent trip by sending a message, of which the following is a part: "As it is the first time this direct communication has been made available for newspaper work, deep answering to deep, the bottomless Atlantic speaking to fathomless London, it is half a pity I have not startling news to send you. Happy is the ship that has no annals; we have none beyond the prosaic healthful routine of meals and bedtime, with the long, leisurely day between. Please convey my salutations to my colleagues' meeting on Wednesday night round 'Mr. Punch's' old mahogany tree." Workmen at Homestead, Pa., have a story to the effect that Mr. Corey, the new president of the steel trust, began his industrial career pushing a wheelbarrow in one of Carnegie's steel works; that he did as much work as any two of the other men, thereby laying a foundation for the advancement which culminated in his present eminence, and that he was paid $1 a day for his unusual exertion. Mr. Corey declares that this story is not strictly correct. "I was only 16 years old then," he says, "and probably did less work than any other employee similarly engaged. It is also a mistake that I started in at $1 a day. It was not as much as that." Hotel - Christiana - Saloon Wines, Liquors and Cigars Imported and Domestic 215 Second Street Minneapolis Minn.

It is reported that a new plant has been discovered in South America which threatens to supplant the sugar cane and the sugar beet. The plant contains a large amount of saccharine matter and a high percentage of natural sugar properties, which are easy to extract. According to experiments made by the discoverer, the director of the agricultural institute of Asuncion, this plant is said to yield sugar which is from twenty to thirty times as sweet as ordinary cane or beet sugar.—Golden Penny. —The Riforma Medica states that with 69 pulse beats to the minute the blood flows a distance of seven miles an hour. —In the schools of France one child in four of both sexes is a nail-biter. --- Sweeter Than Sugar. President of the Ramsey County Afro-American Club. We are pleased to publish the portrait of one of the strongest members of the Negro race, resident in St. Paul. Mr. Woodfork is a man of strong personality and is not backward in expressing his opinions. He is an honor to the race to which he is proud to belong. He is well thought of by all with whom he comes in contact, socially and politically, and has HOTEL RYAN NOTES. Hotel Ryan is one of the famous hostilities of the northwest, is under efficient management and does a rushing business. The male staff is composed of colored people, ably headed by William Evans, whose cut we have the pleasure of presenting to our readers. Mr. Evans is very popular with his subordinates and deservedly appreciated by his employers. [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. One only thing seems lacking. Mr. Evans has not yet taken a partner in life to share his successes, but this we believe will soon be remedied. We wish Mr. Evans and all his boys good luck. The following is a list of the waiters employed at the Ryan hotel: William Evans, headwaiter; Joseph Johnson, assistant headwaiter; William Alexander, Charles Barker, William Crump, H Robinson, Ed Pryor, William Taylor C. Mason, H. Thomas, L. Bufford, William Davis, Walter Major, William Taylor, Earl Howell, James Stewart, B. F Taylor, William Hillman, Andrew Jackson, A. Winstead, O. Blanchard, H. D. Booker, L. O. Smiley, George Wright, Allen Slaughter, Don Miller, Dan Pope, Ladd Smith, C. H. Hill, Calvin Briggs, Thomas R. Morgan and Thomas Rickman. Mr. T. R. Morgan left Monday afternoon for New Jersey, whither he was summoned by the death of his mother. Mr. A. L. Washington, who has been the most popular captain at the Ryan for two years, has severed his connection with that institution and will leave for Hot Springs, Ark., next Monday. Mr. Washington came to us from Philadelphia and during his stay in St. Paul made many friends and we regret to lose him. Mr. Charles Barker has been suffering from rheumatism for the past few weeks, but he is still able to perform his duties at the hotel. Mr. James Stewart is as popular as ever among the ladies. Mr. Charles Saunders has severed his confection with the Ryan and is contemplating a trip to Hot Springs, Ark. Mr. W. H. Moore is rapidly becoming famous as a hat man. When in St. Paul visitors should not omit calling upon Mrs. Jack Hunter at Hotel de Hunter, 376 Jackson street, where good accommodation and generous treatment can be had. Mrs. "Jack" is a charming entertainer. We heard it whispered that her name would soon in all probability be changed to Mrs. Ossie Montgomery, the party hailing from St. Louis, not Milwaukee. ```markdown ``` We had the pleasure of meeting Rev. L. D. Thomas, Baptist preacher, who is an up-to-date minister and quite an acquisition. The connection is very strong in St. Paul and have built and own a very handsome church. We would be pleased to have Mr. Thomas visit Milwaukee and endeavor to infuse new life into the connection here. * * * The editor had a pleasant interview with Charles E. Charleston. private secretary to Dr. C. de Garmo Gray of horse show fame. While in Milwaukee Mr. Charleston created a very favorable impression which he fully maintains in his own city. To Mr. J. R. White, head beliman at Hotel Ryan, we are indebted for many favors in the past few years. Mr. White has held his position for many years. We wish him continued prosperity. ☆ ☆ ☆ One of the most progressive men of the Negro race in St. Paul is T. H. Lyles, who conducts shaving and batbing parbors at 20 East Fourth street. These parbors are fitted up in a manner second to none in the United States, and by dili- no small amount of influence among his fellows. He is the moving spirit of the Ramsey County Afro-American club, the general purpose of which is the mutual improvement and advancement of its members, literary and social culture, etc. With the assistance of like-minded members of the race, Mr. Woodfork has made the club a great success and its beneficial influence is felt by strangers visiting the Saintly city. The other officers of the club are: Jud Johnson, Dr. Thomas Cook and James L. Phelps, vice presidents; F. D. McCracken, secretary, and Lenard M. Vance, treasurer. gent attention to business Mr. Lyles has acquired considerable property. He is very happy in his family relationships. We will have more to say about this family in our forthcoming holiday number. * * * Rev. William D. Carter, the pastor of Pilgrim Baptist church, seems to be the right man in the right place. It is to him that is due the credit of raising the major part of the money for building the handsome church which adorns St. Paul. To him and his wife we are indebted for courteous and Christian treatment and the extending of the hand of good fellowship. Next week we will have more to say about this reverend gentleman and his family. * * * Our old friend and standby, Mr. D. E. Beasley, is still to be found at his old post in the capitol as governor's messenger. Mr. Beasley, as usual, proved himself the acme of courtesy and good fellowship and to him we are indebted for numerous favors which we are only too pleased to acknowledge. 赤赤赤 One of our Milwaukee boys is to be found in St. Paul, having branched out into business for himself. We refer to Owens Nowell, the fashionable tailor and cutter. His place of business is on Sixth street, opposite the Hotel Ryan. See cut in next issue. ```markdown ``` We were glad to meet our old and esteemed friend, Mrs. Lee Woodard, lately of Milwaukee, Mrs. Woodard is as buxom, comely and cheery as ever and desires to be remembered to her old friends in the Cream city. Her address is 317 Wabasha avenue, where she has accommodations for boarders and roomers and will be glad to see her friends. ```markdown ``` We were delighted to pay a visit to our old Wisconsin friend and patron, Mr. Norman B. Black, late of Marinette, Mr. Black has not been spoiled by a residence in the sister state, but is the same genial, kindly gentleman as of yore. Mr. Black gladly renewed his subscription to The Advocate. We were glad to have in Mr. Black's prosperity in St. Paul another instance that a good man cannot be owned. What Wisconsin has lost Minnesota has gained. Mr. Black is superintendent of agents for the Prudential Insurance company at 209-10 Manhattan building, where his Wisconsin friends will be sure of a hearty welcome. ```markdown ``` Dr. Valdo Turner, physician and surgeon, is an instance of what can be attained by the Negro reason with education, perseverance and opportunity. Dr. Turner is building up an extensive practice as a specialist. His office is located at 21 East Seventh street, Kendrick building. We can confidently assert that any one intrusting themselves to his care will not be disappointed. We have pleasure in presenting to our readers the portrait of William Williams, gymnastic instructor at the Y. M. C. A., St. Paul. Mr. Williams is an adept in his art and informs us that he has never found his color a bar to his recognition for what he is worth in his line of business. He expresses his regret that so few of his race take advantage of the privileges of P fered by the Y. M. C. A. and is confident that they would be as welcome as them white brethren. It is pleasant to meet with any one with such optimistic ideas, especially when he has proved in his own case that they are more facts than mere ideas. More men of Mr. Williams' stamp would bring better days for the Negro race. It was through Mr. and Mrs. Bowler of Chippewa Falls that we had the pleasure of making this gentleman's acquaintance. STATE BOARD OF CONTROL. The state board of control of Minnesota is composed of gentlemen who are an honor to the onerous position which they so ably fill. The following named gentleman form its members: James A. Martin, St. Cloud, chairman; O. B. Gould, Winona; S. W. Leavitt, Litchfield; with H. W. Wright acting as secretary. Their voluminous report for year ending July 31 testifies to the immense amount of work performed by them. Charles J. Moos, executive clerk to Gov. Van Sant, is a gentleman whom it is a pleasure to meet. He has a very warm feeling for the colored race and a devoted admirer of Booker T. Washington and his methods. Mr. Moos, although a young man of only 24 years of age, has had a distinguished career. After graduating from St. John's university, where he took the degree of M. A., he served his apprenticeship as a pharmacist. In May, 1902, he was appointed assistant executive clerk, and in November, 1902, was appointed chief executive clerk to succeed James A. Martin, who had become a member of the board of control. In January of this year Mr. Moos was reappointed by the governor to the position which he so ably fills. CHIPPEWA FALLS. We have pleasure in presenting to our readers another prominent Wisconsin race leader in the person of Mr. P. B. Bowler of Chippewa Falls. He has been an esteemed resident of that city for the last thirty-four years and is highly respected. M. His business as a barber is eminently prosperous. Mr. Bowler is peculiarly happy in his family, consisting of wife and his interesting 16-year-old daughter Jessamine. We wish him and them all prosperity and happiness in life. [Name] We cull the following from a contemporary. Ex-Ald. Paris is one of the most advanced Negroes in Wisconsin and a prominent citizen of Waupaca. We are indebted to him for numerous courtesies in our periodical visits to his city and wish him a speedy recovery. FELL OVER THE RAILING. Severe Accident to Ex-Alderman Paris, but He Is Recovering. On Friday night, after Mr. James Paris, the barber, locked his shop, he went into Rutherford's to get a cigar. As he was coming down the steps, with his left hand on the iron railing, his feet slipped on a little snow and ice, which threw him backward. The rail is not over two and a half feet high at the point where his back struck the rail and he fell into the space for light in front of the Invincible bowling alley, about ten or twelve feet, striking his head and shoulder on the hard cement floor below. Friends ran out and carried him into his shop and Dr. Christofferson was called, who worked over him. It was fully two and one-half hours before he returned to consciousness and he was then removed to his home on Center street. No fractures were sustained, but he was severely bruised and it was feared internal injuries had resulted, but it is learned that he is recovering all right and Dr. Christofferson says he will soon be able to get to work again. TRACKS IN THE SNOW. Animal Wisdom and Forest Tragedies in Their Snow trails. At no time in the wild animal's life are his movements so clearly revealed as when the tell-tale snow covers the land, says Country Life in America. The very best time to study the ways of all the terrestrial animals in the country is when a light fall of wet snow has covered the frozen ground; then each footmark is clearly defined. If the now is too soft, the tracks are blurred and consequently difficult to indentify. If there is much wind, the snow covers the tracks, or at least partly obliterates them; so it is advisable, if you would minimize your difficulties, to start as soon as possible after the snow has fallen. To him who would study the movements of animals of all kinds from mice, shrews and squirrels to mink, muskrats and foxes, and birds and beasts of many kinds, the northern winter is a season of constant pleasure and interest and many stories of shrewd animal instinct, and tragedies, as well, may be read by tracks in the snow. What Capers Are. The caper of commerce is the pickled flower bud of a shrub that grows in waste places of southern Europe. Marseilles alone exports about $5000 worth per year to the United States. The business of raising and preparing capers might well be taken up in California, the arid lands of the southwest and some of the southern states.—Country Life in America. Beware of Impostors Beware of Impostors of different professions soliciting money in Wisconsin for purposes unknown to any person in that state and for use elsewhere. Driven out of other states they are overrunning this. We think it an imperative duty on us as being the only negro paper in the state, to protect its generous philanthropists. From now on, we shall warn the mayor and chief of police of every city in Wisconsin against such adventurers. The Oliver Typewriter . . OLIVER MANUS Philadelphia, 1899. Eurls Court, London, 1899.

Adam Clarke Porter is 80 Years of Age and Strong. Reunion of Family Is Held at Home in Oakland—Contrast with Early Cabin Days. Oakland, Wis., Nov. 10.—[Special.]—At the residence of John W. Porter were assembled Sunday the children of the subject of this sketch. Adam Clarke Porter was born in Charlotte, Washington county, Me., November 7, 1823. The place of this eightieth birthday anniversary is the homestead of Mr. Porter, where he built his first cabin over fifty years ago. There are present his three surviving children, Albert H. Porter of Spooner, Wis.; Mrs. John Krippner of Oakland, and John W. Porter, who now owns the old homestead. The wife and mother, now dead, assisted in the arduous duties of pioneer life when the family moved here in '49. Then [Name] ADAM CLARKE PORTER. the only well was on the Matthew Black farm a quarter of a mile away, and the only means of drawing water was a long pole. A. C. Porter left Eastport, Me., in a sailing vessel for Boston and traveled from Boston to Albany on the first railroad in this country. His family of wife and one child joined him at Albany and for many days they wended their way to the new west on the Erie canal. From Buffalo an old steamboat brought them to Milwaukee, where they landed at midnight among entire strangers, with hotels crowded and no doors open to receive them. It was in the time of the cholera scare. A farmer from Oakland with an ox team, who had come over sixty miles with a load of wheat, which he sold for 20 cents a bushel, took Mr. Porter's family and all their belongings to his humble home, which was on a farm adjoining the present Porter homestead. adjoining the present Porter homeward. Mr. Porter has been twice married and the second wife died in 1901. Mr. Porter is enjoying excellent health and promises another decade of active life. He has always labored hard and has always been temperate, never having used liquor or tobacco. He can read without glasses and enjoys a waltz or stroll with his grandchildren. He has one great-grandchild, Myrtle Porter, who is attending kindergarten school at Beloit, Wis. WORE MEN'S CLOTHES AND STOLE CORN. Mrs. Boatcher of Campbell Is Sentenced for Unusual Procedure—Daughter Sent to State School. La Crosse, Wis., Nov. 10.—[Special.] —Mrs. Bertha Boatcher of the town of Campbell was sentenced to thirty days in the county jail by the county court here yesterday, having pleaded guilty to wearing man's apparel and stealing corn. The discovery of the theft was accidental. Herman Pralle and wife were returning from a party at about 1 o'clock in the morning and noticed a horse and wagon tied in front of their farm. Further investigation disclosed the fact that the wagon was partially loaded with grain sacks filled with corn. Mr. Pralle went home and awoke his brother and both went back. They took Mrs. Boatcher by surprise and captured her. A little 9-year-old daughter, found at her house, will be sent to the state school. A GASOLINE EXPLOSION. Manitowoc Man Suffers Severe Burns and Condition Is Serious—Carried Lighted Lamp in Storeroom. Manitowoc, Wis., Nov. 10.—[Special.] —Frank Schultz, an employee of the Manitowoc Cycle company, was seriously burned by the explosion of a can of gasoline and is at the Holy Family hospital, his condition being grave. Schultz carried a lighted lamp into the room where the oil is stored. His right hand was severely burned to the elbow and skin grafting may be necessary. The left hand and side of the face were scorched badly. DYNAMITE UNDER HOTEL. Attempt to Destroy Building in the Village of Oregon, Near Madison-- Mystery Is Unsolved. Madison, Wis., Nov. 10.—[Special.]—The village of Oregon, nine miles south of here, is astir over the finding of a dynamite bomb under the desk of the Grand Central hotel at that place.

Superior, Wis., Nov. 10.—[Special.]—David McKerlie has won the first point in his fight for a $40,000 timber claim in the suit for which he attacks the Omaha Railway company and the Superior Timber company. Judge Vinje has overruled the defendant's demurrer to McKerlie's complaint. McKerlie has for years lived on the claim, which is about ten miles from this city. The land in question is some which the Omaha had taken under its land grant, but which was declared exempt from such filing. McKerlie then filed and settled. But the Superior Timber company claims title by virtue of having purchased from the Omaha. STORY OF MURDER AND SUICIDE TOLD. Verdicts in Neenah Cases Returned by Coroner's Jury—Child on the Witness Stand. Neenah. Wis., Nov. 10.—[Special.]—The coroner's jury in the Rohrer murder and suicide cases last night returned two separate verdicts, finding that Mrs. Daniel Rohrer came to her death by two bullets fired with murderous intent from a revolver in the hands of David Rohrer and that David Rohrer came to his death by a bullet from a revolver fired by his own hand. A crowd of eager spectators listened to the testimony given by several witnesses, including the husband and brother of the dead couple and the oldest daughter of Mrs. Rohrer, a child of 12 years, whose evidence indicated that David Rohrer had deliberately planned the tragedy to take place on the day it was committed. The courtroom was hushed when the child took the witness stand, and her recital of her version of the crime created a profound impression. In concluding her story she broke down completely and had to be assisted from the stand. A decided sensation was caused when she told the jury that early Saturday, while placing some wood in a stove, her Uncle David had approached the stove and remarked to her that "it will be a sad day for us all," and when asked what he meant by the remark, he turned away without answering. A short time afterward the crime was committed. Other evidence tended to show that David Rohrer had been forcing his attentions on his brother's wife for some time and at one time suggested to her that she have her husband incarcerated in an asylum. In order to escape his persecutions Mrs. Rohrer instituted legal proceedings for a divorce, but the matter was adjusted by her husband consenting to move to another house. This was being done Saturday, when David made her an appeal to remain and live with him. She spurned his offer and this made him desperate, with the result that he took her life rather than permit her to leave him and then joined her in death. WANT A CARLOAD CITY. Sheboygan Business Men Formulate Plan for Facilitating and Cheapening Shipments by Combining. Sheboygan, Wis., Nov. 10.—[Special.] —President Wuliweber of the Sheboygan Parlor Furniture company and George B. Mattoon are planning to make Sheboygan a carload city, and with that object in view are making a campaign for new industries that can ship with others already here, so that, by having all factories combine their shipments to their several customers at one destination, shipments may be made in carloads. The idea will be found of mutual benefit, for it is believed that not only a saving of time but also in freight rates will be brought about.

JURY WORK DRIVES MAN TO SUICIDE. JURY WORK DRIVES MAN TO SUICIDE. WORRY AND SLEEPLESSNESS, THE RESULT OF LONG TRIAL, DRIVE MADISON MAN TO DESPAIR. Body of John A. Borquist Is Found in River—Action of Milwaukeeans Against Insurance Company. Madison, Wis., Nov. 11.—[Special.]—The body of John A. Borquist, a tailor at Olson & Veerhusen's, who has been serving as a juror in the case of Frank W. Jacobs against the Queen Insurance company in the circuit court, was found by Joseph N. Zeimat and P. H. Rothwick floating on the Yahra river this morning at 10:30 o'clock. The remains were taken to the morgue of O'Brien & Powers. He is supposed to have committed suicide and his rash act is laid to the fact that he had been worrying, and spent many sleepless nights since he has been serving on the jury, the past two weeks. Borquist left his home, 1130 East Gorham street, at 7:30 this morning, to go to the courthouse, and that was the last time he was seen alive. He had been complaining to his wife that he was unable to sleep nights, since he had been a juror on this case and was greatly worried. Last evening he came to the tailor shop of Olson & Veerhusen and spoke to the cutter, A. Johnson, in the same depressed mood. He was 42 years old and leaves a wife and three boys, the oldest being 14. When the circuit court was called to order this morning, it was found that Borquist was missing from the jury, and a deputy sheriff was immediately sent in search of the missing man. He went to Borquist's home but was told by the wife that he had left the house for uptown about 7:30 this morning, and that was the last she had seen or him. The case upon which Borquist was serving as a juror was an action brought to recover $11,000 on fire insurance policies for the damage done to property on Broadway, Milwaukee, by fire January 21, 1902. The point at issue is the amount of damage done. Appraisers awarded $7834.32, but the plaintiffs maintain that that was not sufficient. Col. William F. Vilas and A. L. Sanborn are the attorneys for the plaintiffs and Attorneys William D. Van Dyke of Milwaukee and John M. Olin for defendant. The case has been on trial since November 2.

With Opening of Deer Season, Sportsmen Seek Big Game—Good Shooting Is Reported. Black River Falls, Wis., Nov. 11. [Special.]—The hunting season opened today. For the past ten days parties have been going north. Deer are reported to be plantiful in the vicinity of Radeson, the terminus of the new line of the Omaha. This is reported to be one of the best hunting grounds in the state. The act of the last Legislature in cutting out several counties from deer hunting for five years, makes it rather hard on the Indians who, in most instances, are too poor to go a long distance from their homes to enjoy the twenty days' hunting. It is difficult to make them understand how their old hunting grounds can be cut out, while other portions of the state remain open. Florence, Wis., Nov. 11.—The county clerk of Florence county has issued 225 deer licenses for residents. While looking over land in this vicinity last week, Chase Osborn shot the largest black otter ever killed in this county. Madison, Wis., Nov. 11.—State Game Warden Overbeck has ordered all of his deputies except four to the northern part of the state for the deer hunting season, which continues until December 1. Mr. Overbeck expects that the slaughter will greatly exceed that of any previous season. This year 310 non-resident deer hunting licenses have been issued. Up to the first of the month county clerks of the state reported a total of 62,307 resident hunting licenses. The receipts of the state hunting fund this year will aggregate about $90,000. Ashland, Wis., Nov. 11.—An army or hunters from all parts of the state and a number from Chicago, Cleveland and even as far south as St. Louis, have begun to arrive. In Ashland alone 1233 licenses have been issued. No licenses are issued to boys under 12 years of age. Six Ashland women have licenses. Calumet, Mich., Nov. 11.—[Special.]—A deer every five minutes, that is the record of Mangus Huseby, whose hunting trip terminated rather suddenly. He had just reached his chosen hunting grounds near Pori when a doe and fawn appeared, and he killed both. Then a large buck came forth from the brush and he likewise was dispatched. The three deer were killed in less than fifteen minutes by Huseby, who did not move out of his tracks. SURPRISES IN STORE FOR RACINE BOARD Resignations of Superintendent and Matron of County Asylum Believed to Have Been Coerced. Racine, Wis., Nov. 11.—[Special.]—There are to be many surprises during the present meeting of the Racine county board of supervisors and the first came last night when Amasa Harden and his wife Edna presented their resignations as superintendent and matron, respectively, of the Racine County Insane asylum. Mr. Harden, in tendering his letter of resignation, asks that it take effect January 1 and the only reason given is his age and the illness of his wife. Some members of the county board believe that the reasons given were not the sole cause, but that Harden resigned because he was unable to get along with the present board of trustees. The county board will make a thorough investigation of the matter. VANDAL WRECKS AN HIGH LIGHT TOWER. Structure 150 Feet Tall Damaged by Someone Who Cut Cable, Allowing Weight to Fall. Fond du Lac, Wis., Nov. 11.—[Special.]—At 8 o'clock last night the electric light tower, 150 feet high, located on East First street, was wrecked and the police are looking for the ones supposed to have done it. In the center of the tower is a carriage, counterbalanced by a heavy weight which rides from the ground to the arc lamps above. Someone cut the cable, sending the elevator up at a rapid rate and allowing the weight to fall, crashing through the framework to the ground. The structure is all iron and the pipes and wires are badly bent and broken. The officers say they have a clue to the vandal. TEAR UP CAR TRACKS IN CHIPPEWA FALLS.

The government geologist pronounces it to be of such importance as to amply justify the policy of the government in offering a reward to finders of workable deposits of the mineral. Those near Burra open out at a depth of nearly thirty feet into formations from which blocks weighing twenty tons can be taken, a large proportion of the raw material yielding 60 percent. of phosphate of lime. Though there is yet no reason to believe that an industry equal to that flourishing near Charlestown, in the United States, is likely to grow up, the discovery cannot fail to be of importance to the Australian agriculturist by providing him with a large supply of mineral manure.—Paris Daily Messenger's Adelaide Correspondent. The French "Snow Ball" Society The Boule de Neige society of France is an association with 600 branches in France and the colonies, and a membership of 600,000. It is an institution for providing old age pensions. The state grants $4\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. interest on the society's deposits, and allows it a subsidy of 14,000 francs a year. The society guarantees a maximum pension of 360 francs ($72) to every member on his reaching the age of 50. A workman who begins to pay his small minimum contribution every month from his twenty-first year is assured of a substantial pension at an age which, under healthy conditions of existence, would be little removed beyond the prime of life. The scheme in full working order implies contributions of three kinds—contributions by the workman, by his employer and by the state. Diversity of Tongues.

Origin of the Grain Weight By an English law passed in 1266, it was provided that a silver penny, called a sterling, should equal in weight 32 wheat grains, well dried and taken from the center of the ear. This is the origin of our grain weight. Animal foods, judged by bulk and weight, are more expensive, pound for pound, than vegetable foods. But, as a whole, vegetable foods are not more economical. Animal foods furnish more than six-tenths of the protein and nineteenthsof the fat of the total food consumed. $100 Reward. $100.

In a little while Ernest called: "Mamma, please come and separate Ray; he's naughty."—Ram's Horn. HOW TO AVOID COLDS. Cold Sponging, Dry Rubs and Keep Moving When Wet or Chilled. Habitual colds are due to an ill-kept skin on the outside and dyspeptic mucous membranes on the inside, the result of indigestion or constipation, coupled with carelessness. Cold water, proper food and common sense are the foundations upon which a cold cure must rest. A cold sponge bath, one to three minutes long, with a brisk, dry rub immediately before and after, is excellent—usually all that is necessary to keep the cutaneous circulation alive and the skin reactive to sudden changes of temperature. For those unaccustomed to cold water tolerance can be gained in three weeks' time by the use of water at any comfortable temperature, making it one degree colder each day, until it can be employed without dread as cold as it will run. Salt may be added to the water for its stimulating effect, or alcohol; witch hazel is also useful. Cold water intelligently used does not steal vitality, but fosters it. It stimulates the nerves that control the expansion and contraction of the blood vessels and regulates the cutaneous circulation. The dry rub is a fair substitute for those who cannot take the cold sponge. Hot water may be employed once or twice a week when a full bath is taken and soap used. This bath should end with a cold sponge. For cold feet, wading ankle deep in cold water in the bath tub for one or two minutes before retiring will be found effective. If reaction does not set in after brisk rubbing, wrap the feet in flannel; they will soon thaw out. Do not use hot water bottles or other debilitating forms of heat. Cold hands may be treated on the same principle, but they have to be kept in cold water usually a much longer time. Some colds are due to micro-organisms that attack the air passages; but this is much less likely to happen in a person whose powers of resistance have been raised by dietetic and hygienic measures. If colds result from dust in the nasal passages, as sometimes happens, the nostrils may be washed out regularly with some warm alkaline solution, and with at much satisfaction as one brushes the teeth. This is properly a part of the morning toilet, for those at least who suffer from catarrh in the atmosphere of great cities. Operative interference on the nose and throat may be required for deformities or diseased tissues which act as an exciting cause. The inside and outside skins of the body are so much in sympathy and so dependent on each other that any disorder of the one is sure to react upon the other, and this is especially true of the alimentary canal and the skin as a whole. Overeating when tired, overeating in connection with over exertion, indulging in things known to disagree, are among the causes of colds; for taking cold is ordinarily nothing but a successful attack from without; an attack that succeeds simply because the skin, which resists, is not properly supported from within, or lacks tone itself. One should "keep moving" when wet or chilly, and not stand on a street corner or elsewhere without taking deep breaths. The lungs used in this way act as a pump to drive the blood along. This practice, with the others named, will reduce to a shadow the liability of having to entertain this unwelcome guest periodically.—Youth's Companion. Promptly Corrected. Two young fellows at Liverpool, partners in the tea trade, were the best of friends, and their intimacy extended to personal as well as to business matters. One of them, a simple-minded fellow, was a bachelor, and was in the habit of reading to his partner extracts from letters of an ardent and affectionate nature from a lady in the north of England, who signed herself "Susie." The married one went to China for twelve months and returned just in time to attend the wedding of his partner. "I hardly feel like a stranger," he said, in his sweetest tones, addressing the bride. "In fact, I feel as though I ought to be well acquainted with my partner's wife, since he has often done me the honor to read me extracts from his dear Susie's letters." The faces of the husband and the speaker were studies as the bride drew herself up and said, emphatically and distinctly. "I beg your pardon—my name is Helen."—Tit-Bits. -Leather waste is no longer wasted.

A plant erected near Sydowsaua, Germany, is at present turning out fifty pounds of skein silk a day, which product can be increased in quantity to 2000 pounds. The silk is soft in texture and creamy in color. Each thread is made up of eighteen single strands; a single strand is hardly perceptible to the naked eye. In strength it is but one-third that of the real silk. When woven into pieces the new substitute is said to have the appearance of real silk. How this new article will compare with the genuine in the matter of wear and price it is impossible at present to state. The manufacturing process is likewise undiscoverable. It is asserted, however, that the wood pulp from which it is made undergoes a chemical process and is pressed through very fine tubes by hydraulic pressure, forming the single strands which go to make up the thread.—From Advance Sheets of Consular Reports. Has He Found It? Polk, Ark., Nov. 9.—A remedy that will absolutely cure Rheumatism has been discovered by Mr. George Hiland of this place. Mr. Hiland is satisfied that the remedy he has used is a sure cure, for it cured him of a very serious case of Acute Rheumatism when he was so bad that he could not move. This is what he says: "I was troubled with what is called Acute Rheumatism in 1900. I was in such shape that I could not move without help. I was treated by a physician, who helped me some, but I was still in great pain when my wife saw Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised as a cure for Rheumatism. She insisted on my trying them, and I felt better after taking the first box. I continued, and now I am well and able to work all the time. I have found Dodd's Kidney Pills to be just what they are claimed to be, a perfect cure for Rheumatism." Mr. Hiland's very positive statement seems to settle all doubt as to whether or not Rheumatism can be cured. Japan has more translations of American books than of any other foreign nation. Gidding's "Principles of Sociology," Mayo Smith's "Statistics of Sociology" and "Little Lord Fauntleroy" have had large sale.

SEPTICIDI kills the cancer germs, and is curing the most malignant cases. Involved By Rev. J. J. Donlan. If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciple indeed.—John, viii., 31. All through the scriptures great stress is laid upon keeping God's word. "If a man love me, he will keep my word," and again, "He that loves me not, keeps not my sayings." Discipleship in Christ, therefore, seems to depend on how clearly and closely we shall adhere to his teaching. The question, then, is: Do I continue in God's word? How can I tell unless I know what his word is? The man who never reads his Bible and never attends at the preaching of the word must be ignorant of what is necessary for a Christian's salvation. Many a man without being a follower of Christ keeps his sayings, just as a man may keep the law of the land without being a citizen. What, then, do we mean by the word? It is the outward expression of the inward thought. It is a mode of communication between mind and mind. As I can feel a living body and make myself felt by it through the sense of touch, so, too, soul can feel soul by means of the spoken word. Christ's word, then, is the outward expression of his living thought. He would reach and influence our souls with it. He would have his thoughts to be our thoughts, his words to be our words, and thus draw us to fellowship by dispelling the darkness of the understanding and disarming our rebellious wills. "Faith comes by hearing" and "the love of Christ restrains us." By that hearing of the word we are warmed into that activity which induces us "to take the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God, living and effectual, and more piercing than a two edge sword." By it we battle our way through the darkness of ignorance to the light of inspiration, where we discover what we ought to know and at the same time recognize what we ought to do. Thus the written or spoken word arouses in us a consciousness of duty which under the impelling grace of God we are led to accomplish. Many, however, hear the word of God and yet absolutely fail to "bring forth fruit in due season." No impression is made on their souls, no change for the better is noticed in their conduct and mode of life; there is no avoidance of the wrongdoing the word condemns; no practice of what the word recommends. The reason why the word fails is because it is not allowed to sink deep down into the soul. Hence, there is no meditation, no reflection, no recalling it to mind from time to time. The words of the great Lawgiver, "and these words which I command thee this day shall be in thy heart; thou shalt tell them to thy children, and thou shalt meditate upon them sitting in thy house and walking on thy journey, sleeping and rising," are forgotten. But the opposite is the rule. The word is soon forgotten. It is never spoken of in the household, at work in the shop, or traveling about. Neither does it arouse in us any feeling of real pleasure, for our minds are consumed with idle or vain thoughts, or our temporal matters preoccupy us. Such, indeed, the Apostle James compares to a man who looks at his countenance in a mirror. "He beheld himself and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was." For what is God's word but the holding the mirror up to nature that we may see ourselves as we are; that we may truly measure our worth by his standard? In the mirror of his sayings we behold the manner of man we are. We see our inward feelings and we detect the cause of our sinfulness. We are permitted to make no mistake; the reflection is too true. If we allow the word to escape our minds it is as if we turned our backs on the mirror, and in the turmoil, the care and the pleasures of life presently forgot the reflection. And with what result? No moral improvement, no change in manners; the same defilement remains. Under such conditions if I am an impure man I remain so; if I am a drunkard, I remain one; if I am a blasphemer I continue my blasphemy. Why? Because the word of God, living and powerful as it is, "and reaching into the division of the soul and the marrow, and a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart," cannot force a free being to any particular action. We should not forget, then, the word of God, which will never pass away, even though the heaven and earth cease to be. We should prepare the soil of our souls and make it fertile to give root to the seed, which is the word of God. Our constant prayer should be that of the royal prophet. "Thy words have I hidden in my heart that I may not sin against thee," and carrying out this prayer in our everyday life we may expect finally a reward from him who said, "Blessed is the man who bears the word of God and keeps it." DEFINES TRUE CHURCH. If the gates of hell have not prevailed against the church Christ founded it must be here and be to-day as always "the pillar and ground of the truth." Where is it? We answer, "That is the church to-day which can trace historical and constitutional continuity from the church Christ founded and over which the apostles presided. It is not enough that we call an organization a church. It is not the church Christ founded unless it can trace its origin to Christ. It may be a very beneficent society; its members may all be paragons of virtue, but if it cannot trace a constitutional and historical continuity it will not do. If it stops 100 or 1,000 years back, with the name of some human being, it is not the divine organism with the Christ-endowed powers to bless and help. It may have the name "Catholic," for instance, and be no part of the Holy Catholic church of the creed. We are not discussing people, but organizations. We freely admit that every one baptized according to Christ's command and with the formula Christ ordered is a member of Christ's church, but we are forced to distinguish between the individual and the organization. In the search for Christ's church men must not be misled by names. LIFE'S PACE TOO FAST. By Rev. R. A. White. Man has become a slave to vicious customs and conventions. Like a lot of social convicts, we travel in lock- step with the crowd. In actions we consult and follow our individual tastes at our peril even when those tastes are proper enough. In dress we are a utomation, prancing at the nod of tailor dressmaker or milliner. If the milliner says hats average woman 16 milliner says M. turns hats up. If milliner says hats down, down they go. If our tailor says a long coat is the thing, we wear long coats though the heavens fall. A dress suit before 6 o'clock is a scandal, anything else after 6 is a crime. And so it goes. The man or woman who dresses to be comfortable is a freak and is shown no mercy. In fact the man or woman who lives a life out simply, naturally and individually is set down as a degenerate. But this artificial life of ours goes worse things still. It is the cause of a good part of our modern dishonesties. First it makes us pretend to be what we are not. To keep up appearances people wear clothes which they have not paid for and cannot afford. To march with the procession people eat food for which they have not paid the grocer, live in houses with rent in arrears, affect a style of life and living they have no visible means of supporting. The cheapest of hypocrites is the hypocrite for appearances' sake. Living at our present pace is responsible for the most of our modern crimes. From the snare of small debts, brought on by expensive living, many a man seeks to escape by uncertain speculations and finally by certain peculations. We cannot go back to the outward simplicity of former days. It may be desirable, but it is impossible. But we can cultivate the spirit of simplicity, live within our means, follow our own tastes, wrest more of joy from life than we do; and act like sane human beings, instead of the crazy, jaded, overworked, overplayed, over dressed set we are. NEEDS MEN WITH MESSAGE By Rev. William B. Leach. One-half the people in the world do not know what they are living for. Their lives are as aimless as a will-o'-the-wisp. They have not one purpose in life but to eat, or dance, or sleep, or cheat, or play at politics or religion. Such people are here. The last church I had was cursed of them. Hypocrites and devils in heaven's livery are bad REV. W. B. LEACH. A. H. I would to God I could get the ears of the Methodist church to wake it up. It has a message to tell, but its miserable political machinery covers up the old simplicity of a John Wesley. The bishops, well fed, careless, are not as of old. If we as a church could wake up and cry salvation through Jesus Christ to dying men it would not be long till our church membership would be doubled. The old biblical gospel has still a power. Men come to church and will come if we only have a message for them. Sin is never healed by humoring it. It takes all of life to know all of love. Faith is the greatest force in the world. You cannot feed the soul on frozen truths. The hope of this world is in the hard things we have to do.

There comes from Paraguay to the journal of Tropical Medicine news of an apparently harmless beverage which is the sole stay and stimulant of the working classes in Paraguay and the Argentine republic. It is often known as 'paraguay tea or mate. It is usually trunk as a hot infusion, through a metal tube, but may be taken like tea, with milk and sugar. Workmen take it with hem wherever they go and sip it occasionally. Woodcutters will work on it or five or six hours before breakfast, and the writer declares that, taken at night, it makes nursing, study or what doctors call "night work," real pleasure. Analysis does not explain these results, and lifelong and persistent use appears to have no evil consequences.
