The case of the Negro has seemed to be almost like that of a swimmer struggling in the sea. His ears are cheered by encouraging shouts from the shore, but his hands, when they are reached out to the lifeboat, are battered by hostile men, compelling him to fall back and drown. For the Negro there is encouragement from the broad-minded, but against the Negro are arrayed ignorance, prejudice, and antagonism, which, if seen in the Negro, would justify his absolute condemnation: but seen in the white man, with centuries more of opportunity and education, show such retrogressive qualities as to compel a change of Lincoln's words from an assertion into a question: "Have these dead died in vain?"—From "Thoughts on Memorial Day and the Negro," by D. H. Granville in last Sunday's Sentinel. Scratch a Russian and you find a Tartar; scratch a "Lilly White" and you find a Scalawag.

The Pacific coast is not the only place upon the face of the earth where the Negro has looked for such an abiding place and failed to find it. He has searched, too, every corner of the globe for a law strong enough to protect him in those rights defined by the Congress of the United States and endorsed by Thomas Jefferson, and has found it not. What is wrong?—Rising Sun, Kansas. Capt. Delano of the steamship Hawaiian reached this port this week from Hilo and entertained a group of friends with a description of Mount Pelee, St. Pierre and Martinique as they are today. The volcano is now entirely extinct, and smoke has disappeared, he says, and the place has come to be very attractive to tourists, hundreds of whom visit the scene of one of the world's greatest tragedies every day. He states that the search for jewels and money continues in the ruins, and will, in his opinion, until every house site on the island has been raked over a score of times.

CREAM CITY NOTES. City Editor and Business Manager We will be glad to publish news of local and race interest if left at the office, 79 Fifth street, before 6 o'clock Wednesday evenings. We would respectfully ask our readers to bestow at least a share of their custom upon those who advertise with us. The various remedies and hair restorers advertised in this paper can be had at the advertised price at the office of this paper. Mr. P. A. Sample, associate editor, has just returned from a trip south in the interests of the paper. He reports that everything is favorable for a large circulation in Kentucky and other southern states. He desires to contradict a report that the color line is drawn at the St. Louis exposition. There are no separate entrances, as was mischievously reported. Everything is as open to the Negro who can pay as his white brother. Mr. Sample was accompanied back to Milwaukee by Mr. Gaston Hearns of Paducah, Ky., who intends to make his home here. The editor spent a pleasant afternoon at the home of Mrs. Wallace, 427 Cedar street, to meet Mrs. Anderson from Iowa and Miss White from Denver, Colo. Both ladies are expecting to spend the summer in this city, and will be quite an acquisition to society, being accomplished in every respect. * * * The usual services were held at Mr. Olive Baptist church Sunday last. In the evening there was a large congregation, with quite a sprinkling of white brethren and sisters. Rev. Frank Snowden of Chicago officiated and fairly entranced his audience by his eloquent and profitable discourse, the reverend gentleman taking for his text I. Kings x., 7: "And, behold, the half was not told me." Besides the preacher, on the platform were the pastor of the church and 27 T. E. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT "I know of the bravery and character of the Negro soldier. He saved my life at Santiago, and I have had occasion to say so in many articles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth cavalry came Revs. Henry Alexander of Bay View and Alfred Chase of Chicago. The choir, composed of Mrs. Ollie Henderson, Miss Jessie Collins, Miss Minnie Bland and Mrs. Thompson, with Mrs. Owens as organist, rendered some very fine selections, which were much appreciated by the audience. The music of this choir is well worthy of a visit by any one who can appreciate first-class music. Revs. Dr. Fisher and Dr. Mitchell of Chicago are expected to visit this church Monday and Tuesday next for the purpose of if possible affecting an entire reorganization of the body and bringing it in touch with other Baptist churches in the city and district. It will be known as a missionary Baptist church. Baptism was administered to Mary Brown Monday night. Stella Pelkley was recently changed into Mrs. Harry Thornton. The ceremony was performed by Rev. B. P. Robinson of Mt. Olive Baptist church. Their home will be at 190 Eighth street. Mr. J. H. Kirkley from Canada and employed in one of the vessels sailing out P. A.

Mr. Kirkley is a modest, unassuming young man and reflects credit both on himself and our brethren from the British dominion. * * * Miss George Weaver left Monday for Topeka, Kan., to visit her mother and friends. She will be met in Chicago by her sister, Mrs. Lizie Brown, 2963 Armour avenue. * * * Mrs. Carter, 60 Johnson street, with her daughter, Marguerite, at the close of the school year intend visiting her parents at St. Joe, Mich., to spend the summer's vacations. We wish them a pleasant time. Mrs. Ross, 192 Sixth street, we regret to learn, is suffering from a severe attack of neuralgia. Her husband is taking a short rest from his work to be with her. * * * * Mrs. Daley has returned from a short visit to Houghton, Mich. She reports conditions there favorable to a settlement of colored residents, and plenty of work. We have in our midst a branch of the New Thought league, presided over by Dr. Julia Agnes Coates and located at 428 Jefferson street. The magazine published by the society, entitled New Thought, contains many beautiful gems of thought. The motto of the league is "The Beginning and End of Man Is Love." Dr. Coates is a mistress in graphology. By sending a few lines of handwriting and date of birth she claims to be able to give a complete character reading and diagnosis. Her charge for each is $1. Thought Him Uncivil. An engineer and his assistants had been for several days surveying in the vicinity of an Irishman's shanty, and had treated Pat's family with little consideration. At last Pat's wife remonstrated: "And who are you, anyway?" And who are you, anyway? "I'm a civil engineer," replied the man, with a smile. "Sure, if you're a civil engineer I niver want to see any uncivil ones."—Yonkers Statesman. [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit]. rushing up the hill carrying everything before them. The Negro soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the Civil war he came 400,000 strong, and I believe he saved the union."—President Roosevelt. A very pretty manicure in Bond street recently was attending upon Joe Redding, and, as she added the finishing touches, she looked up with limpid eyes and said: "We are always so glad to have testimonials from our customers. Do you mind?" "Delighted," responded gallant Joseph. Whereupon he wrote upon his card and handed her the following: "There is a divinity that shapes our ends."—English Paper. Strange as it may seem, a lot of money is made out of policemen's cast-off uniforms. Quantities are bought by African traders and exported to various parts of the "Dark Continent," where they are exchanged for palm oil, ivory, skins and other merchandise. It is by no means an uncommon sight to see a swarthy savage dressed in the uniform of a London policeman, and wearing the regulation helmet of the force. * * * To the Point. Exported to Africa CLARK ENG.8 PTC.CO. MIL. HON. EMIL BAENSCH. Hon. Emil Baensch of Manitowoc, who will be seated as one of the delegates-at large from the state of Wisconsin at the Republica cago, who state and elected as Robin's Nest on Passenger Car. Down at Rice Lake the other day a traveling man came across a very peculiar thing. He says he saw a bird's nest on a passenger car that travels fifty miles every day. The engineer called his attention to it. The nest was under the end of the car and was protected from wind and rain by the steps, being set on the drawhead or some other part of the coach apparatus where it was out of sight of the ordinary run of people. Just how it came to be there is a question, but it is there, or was late last week. It was a robin's nest, as indicated by the one egg inside it, and the problem that is most puzzling of all is how the robin built the nest on the car at all, let alone in such a peculiar position. The cars run on a train that is away from Rice Lake about four hours every day, leaving Rice Lake at 1 o'clock and returning about 5 in the afternoon. How the robin had time to complete the nest in one day is the question. It may have been able to do it over a Sunday, but how the bird arranges its itinerary while the nest is away for four hours a day is worth thinking about. If a young robin should be hatched out of the egg the mother will have to let the little one remain in the tender care of the passenger coach for four or five hours a day, travel with it, or else remove it to some other place. A good many people at Rice Lake are interested in the outcome.—Duluth Herald In Austria, where the manufacture of tobacco in all forms is a government monopoly, tobacco extract is successfully employed by agriculturists as an insect exterminator. According to United States Consul McFarland at Reichenberg, an extract, chiefly from Virginia and Kentucky tobacco, of about 40 per cent. nicotine value, is generally used for that purpose. It is retailed in sealed tin cans at about 20 cents a pound. It is diluted according to proposed use and is immediately fatal to insect life, but, intelligently used, is said to be absolutely harmless to plant life. For plant lice a solution of only 1 to $1\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. extract is used; for mites and larvae. 2 per cent.; for haired caterpillars and beetles, 3 per cent. The solution is sprinkled or sprayed in the ordinary manner. Among the large number of insects for the extermination of which the use of the extract in the past few years has proven completely successful are mentioned the so-called "bubble feet" on strawberries, roses, blackberries, onions, etc.; spring lice or plant fleas, hump bugs, plant wasps; caterpillars of the grape winder; the larvae of various beetles, earth fleas and mite spinners, rose mites and sapwood and bark bettles. The extract is also used with great success for animal parasites such as sheep lice. -On the shores of Oyster Bay. L.

The war department recently placed an order with a boat company of Bayonne, N. J., for 120 large wooden launches, which are to be used for laying mines.

When she is animated and bright. A tear may move pity, but it is a smile that commands admiration. When she is not superlatively and incessantly brilliant. The perpetual flashing of diamonds tires the eyes and the brain. She must have her sober moments, if only to throw into higher relief the moments when she is gay. When she is tender and sympathetic. She may dazzle when she is merry, but when she is gentle and full of sympathy she enchants a man's heart. When her voice takes a softened tone, and her eyes look words that her lips hesitate to say—then, if she only knew her power, it would be bad time for the world at large! When she is good-natured. Bad temper never charmed. Sarcasm may amuse when it is directed against one else, but it does not win any one's heart. Good temper is an attraction even in a plain woman. When she is most unconscious of it The very unconsciousness is the best part of the charm. Discontented young working women often indulge in bitter resentment toward the people of wealth and leisure. I wish these young toilers might study the faces and hear the conversation of hundreds of women in fashionable homes and at fashionable resorts. Restlessness, ennui, dissatisfaction and ingratitude distort many a lovely face, and render beautiful costumes but a mockery. I do not mean to say that this is true of all women of wealth. What I mean to say is just this: As many people in the humble walks of life, toiling for their daily bread, find enjoyment, as in the ranks of wealth and fashion. It is a matter of character and disposition, not of money. One who travels to any extent is sure to arrive at this conclusion There is, indeed, greater dissatisfaction to be read in the faces of women in a hotel dining room at a seashore or mountain resort than in the faces of women who emerge from shops and factories at 6 o'clock in any of our large cities. Yet the majority of these toilers regard the woman who can travel and wear fine garments as favored by the gods. No woman is favored by the gods unless she has cultivated cheerfulness, appreciation, kindness and good will and sets forth each day determined to be happy and to make happiness for others. Many a working girl could teach her wealthier sister how to enjoy life. In no home of poverty did I ever see unhappiness so marked on the faces of an entire family as on one I saw at a hotel not many moons ago. The mother's eyes were full of jealousy and ill-temper; the father's face was defiant and bitter with disappointment; the son was a dissipated wreck of manhood, the daughter a restless, irritable, fault-finding child of misfortune. Yet there were millions of dollars spent yearly for the "enjoyment" of this family. There was no love, no harmony, no good will, no gratitude to God or man in the hearts of these people. Better a crust of bread and a cup of milk after a day of hard labor, and love in the household and hope in the heart, than such splendid misery. The poverty of the heart is the worst poverty on earth. Remember that as you toil and pray for wealth. If you can keep your heart rich with love, sympathy and kindness, hope and faith, then whatever you acquire of worldly wealth will increase your opportunities of enjoyment. But wealth alone can never give you enjoyment of happiness, and no poverty of the purse can make you poor while you have these qualities. A good disposition is the only thing worth coveting and that can be acquired. Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. As women advance in the scale of progress, will they leave the love of dress behind? Fifty-odd years ago, when the first women's rights conventions met in New England, this did not seem a debatable question. Short hair and bloomers characterized the feminine champions of the cause. Dress was proclaimed as one of the vanities from which the sex was to be emancipated. WHERE E WHERE BLOODY BATTLE WAS FOUGHT. AN-TING ON THE YALU RIVER AN-TUNG ON THE YALU RIVER.

An Unlucky Day. A Woman Charms— Riches and Contentment. The Future of Dress. But fifty years have passed; and now Miss Susan B. Anthony, in her gracious and serene old age, wears point lace, like any other woman fortunate enough to possess it. The leaders of a suffrage convention and those of a whist club could be shaken up together nowadays, and no one would know which was which, as far as their clothes were concerned. The advanced woman no longer cuts her hair short, and the speaker at a woman's club is often the most daintily omnipotent woman in the room. Yet though the question seems doubtful in the face of these facts, there are others no less striking. Women's dress is tenfold more comfortable than is used to be. The shirtwaist and the short skirt have apparently come to stay; and man has never invented anything as comfortable for himself, in the whole history of costume. Tight lacing has practically disappeared, and common-sense shoes are as popular as French heels used to be. All this may be only a cycle in the ages of fashion; but it looks as if certain ideals were liable to abide. The love of dress may never be left behind, no matter how far the woman of the future progress. But the Eternal Feminine, so to speak, once loved dress not wisely, but too well. Today she loves it well, but with a developing wisdom that will make her master, and not servant of its changes and caprices. Rational dress always followes existing conditions. Bloomers were abstract. Nobody needed them; they were as useless as sixteen flounces, without even the charm of vanity to recommend them. The bicycle revived bloomers, and women then accepted them, to some extent, for the first time. But the short skirt proved itself better, and they faded into oblivion when the cycle craze passed. Business and professional conditions today have created the comfortable and stylish suit of the business woman. There is no longer any point in the story of the small girl who said to her mother, "Oh, mother, look at that woman! Is she very, very poor, to wear such shabby clothes?" and received the answer, "She is either very rich, dear, or very poor, or very literary." The dress of the future will follow the conditions of the future woman. It is prettier and daintier today than it ever was, and as long as women continue pretty and dainty there is little fear that the graces of costume will vanish. It would be a grayer world if they did. Dress reform always has a field. But when it is a reform against nature, no one need worry lest it should succeed. Dress is safe in the hands of the women of today, and ought to be safer still in the hands of the women of tomorrow. The alarmist has small cause for fear on that score.—Harper's Bazaar. Truth the Best Policy. And now, my daughter, you must not get angry at the next thing I have to say to you. Never tell your husband the least, smallest, suspicion of a falsehood. I know that you are honest and incapable of a lie, but your marriage will so complicate your relations with people and things that some fine day you are likely to find yourself facing this dilemma: either to tell an untruth or to cause pain to the man that you love. Most women in this alternative, I should say about 80 per cent. of them, would choose the lie as the best way out. And they will often tell it in the most unimportant crises, to escape being criticised, or being compelled to justify their actions, or even to avoid any long and tiresome explanations. Alexander cut the Gordian knot with a blow of his word, and this solution of a problem has been famous in history ever since. Women every day cut the knots which form between their hands in the tangled threads of life by means of that little sword which they always carry with them and which is called the lie. Never tell an untruth to your husband! Whatever may be the dilemma which confronts you, whatever may be the knot that forms itself in your hand, never cut it by means of a lie. You will thus preserve your own self-respect, and your husband will place you upon an altar-like pedestal. A man may be proud of having a young and beautiful wife, of hearing her praised by all for her culture and wit, but nothing will flatter him more than to be able to say: "My wife does not know how to say what isn't so." In this hypocritical age in which we live, where lying envelops us from head to foot and leaves its slimy trail everywhere like a snail, to know one spot where falsehood has not penetrated and whither it is possible to flee as to a sacred refuge is such an uplifting and noble joy that it makes every function of life seem brighter. There should be for every man in this desert of deceit one oasis where the grass is always green, where the foliage conceals no vipers, where the rose bushes are without thorns, where the bees have no sting, where the skies are always cloudless; and that oasis should be the soul of his wife. Thither we should be able to flee, confident and serene, to hear a "yes" that always means "yes" and a "no" which is always "no." If women only appreciated the value of truthfulness and sincerity they would unhesitatingly abandon even the whitest of white fibbing. Women lie often and lie well, but no art has been invented which will prevent them from making an occasional mistake. Now, one lie discovered will make you lose the fruits of a thousand more fortunate falsehoods. From the day of discovery all serenity will become useless, every affirmation will leave some doubt; after each "yes" Méduoy The above picture shows the Russian cavalry which met with a disaster on May 28 near Feng Wang Cheng. Two thousand Cossacks were captured by the Japs. or each "no" your husband will put a question mark. You have lost your sanctity, you have profaned the temple in which he has placed you. You bring to your husband a veritable crown of flowers, your youth, your beauty, your accomplishments, and, sad to say, all these flowers must fade. But if among these blossoms you have intertwined absolute sincerity, it will remain fresh and unwithered till the last breath of life, and your husband will be able to hold his head high in the presence of every one each time that he cries "She has said it," meaning that its truth is therefore indisputable. Believe me that his eves will moisten with tenderness when he adds by way of confirmation of this statement: "My wife has never told me a falsehood." Your husband will swear eternal love and you will swear eternal love. Eternity belongs only to God, but it is constantly upon the lips of lovers. Theophile Gautier has said: "Every great love claims to be eternal, and it is apt to give itself all the benefits of this supposed eternity without assuming any of the inconveniences."—Selected.

French Brides and Grooms In France wedlock is no mere individual, but a family matter, a kind of joint stock affair. An Englishman marries a wife. A Frenchman takes not only his bride for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, but her entire kith and kin—fortunately, a far less numerous contingent than with us. A British matron, when informing acquaintances of her daughter's marriage, says: "We have lost our daughter." A French mother, in similar case, frames her piece of news thus: "We have gained a son." Nothing like the free-and-easy intercourse of boys and girls, young men and maidens, enjoyed by Anglo-Saxons, is permissible in France, says a writer of a most interesting article in Cornhill Magazine for May. "But dances in the winter, croquet and garden parties, both of English introduction, in summer, afford opportunities of acquaintance. The seaside or inland resort, too, is a fruitful field for maternal match-making. "The word 'courtship' has no equivalent in the French tongue, because the thing itself does not exist. Stolen tete-atetes, even furtive kisses, may, of course, be indulged in, but only under a modified chaperonage, the half-shut eye of parents or guardians. No young French lady would be permitted, for instance, to undertake a cycling expedition with her future husband. Still less count she take train with him for the purpose of visiting relations in the country, were the journey of half an hour's duration only. Love making begins with the honeymoon. "Trouusseau and marriage ceremony quickly follow betrothals. An engagement protracted throughout months and years, as is often the case in England, is unknown over the water. When a young man is in a position to marry he seeks a wife, not before. "Nothing more astonishes, perhaps I should say shocks, French notions than the English habit of making a check do duty for a bridal gift. Our neighbors can not bring themselves to condone what in their eyes appears little short of indelicacy. Wedding presents in France have generally some specific or intrinsic value apart from cost; they should suggest the donor, rather the offerer, for note the fine shade of meaning, the verbal nicety. A French friend never gives-always offers you a present. Again, bridal gifts should hit the taste, meet some want, or maybe whim, of the recipient, no amount of time or thought being grudged upon the selection. These preliminaries being satisfactorily arranged, the wedding day, or rather wedding days, quickly follow marriage contracts and the preparation of trousseaux. I use the plural noun, for in the land pre-eminently of method, precision and formulary a single day does not suffice for the most important ceremonial in human life. A Frenchman may not be twice wedded, but most often he is privileged with two wedding days; the civil, that is to say the only legal marriage, preceding by twenty-four hours what is aptly called the nuptial benediction in church. "Church ceremonials are expensive affairs in France, weddings, like funerals, being charged for according to style. Those of the first and second class entitle the procession to entry by the front door of cathedral or church, to more or less music of the full orchestra, and to carpets laid down from porch to altar. Wedding parties in the third division go in by a side entrance, and without music or carpet traverse the aisle, the charges even so diminished being considerable." —New York Mail. Young Folks' Column. The Rain Rains Every Day. Sald the robin to his mate In the dripping orchard tree: the robin will wait to wait Said the robin to his mate In the dripping orchard tree: "Our dear nest will have to wait Till the blue sky we can see. Birds can neither work or play, For the rain rains every day, And the rain rains all the day!" Said the violet to the leaf: "I can scarcely ope my eye; So, for fear I'll come to grief, Close along the earth I lie. All we flowers for sunshine pray, But the rain rains every day, And the rain rains all the day!" And the children, far and wide, They, too, wished away the rain: All their sports were spoiled outside By the "black glove" at the pane— Very dull indoors to stay While "the rain rains every day, And the rain rains all the day!" Up and down the murmurs run. Shared by child and bird and flower. Suddenly the golden sun Dazzled through a clearing shower Then they all forgot to say That "the rain rains every day. And the rain rains all the day!" —Edith M. Thomas in St. Nicholas. Wren Discipline Hidden in the grass, I tried to solve the secret of the father's petulant actions. Each time the patient mother returned he grew more restless and violent in his language. Soon I saw his wife whirl joyously by with an unusually large white grub—surely a prize for any bird. But alas! for all her prowess, her spouse darted at her as if in madness, while she, trembling in terror, retreated down the limb and through the bushes. For a few moments it seemed as if the wren household was to be wrecked. I was tempted to take the mother's part against such cruel treatment as she quivered through the fern on fluttering wing toward me, but at that moment, as if thoroughly subdued, she yielded up the bug to the father. This was the bone of contention. A domestic battle had been fought and he had won. The scolding ceased. Both seemed satisfied. Mounting to the tree top, the little mother poured forth such a flood of sweet song as rarely strikes human ear. From that moment she seemed a different wren, released from all care and worry. Her entire time was spent in search for bugs. Each return was heralded by the high-sounding trill from the tree top, and her husband whirled out of the tangled vines to take the morsel she carried. But what of his actions? He had either gone crazy or he was a most selfish little tyrant, for he flew about the alder stump, calling now in a softer tone to his children within, and finally swallowed the grub himself. Two or three times he did this, until I was so disgusted I could hardly endure him. If he were hungry, why could he not skirmish for his own bugs? While I was chiding him for his infamous action, the mother appeared with a large moth, which he readily took. Among the alder limbs the father flew, and finally up to the nest-hole, out of which was issuing such a series of hungry screams as not parent with the least bit of devotion could resist. Hardly could I believe my eyes, for the little knave just went to the door, where each hungry nestling could get a good view of the morsel, then, as if scolding the little ones for being so noisy and hungry, he hopped back down the tree into the bushes. This was indeed cause for a family revolt. The brown nestling nearest the door grew so bold with hunger that he forgot his fear and plunged headlong down, catching in the branches below where the father perched. And the precocious youngster got the large moth as a reward for his bravery. Not till then did it dawn upon me that there was a reason for the father's queer actions. The wrenlets were old enough to leave the nest. Outside in the warm sunshine they could be fed more easily and would grow more rapidly, and they could be taught the ways of woodcraft. In half an hour, one after another, the little wrens had been persuaded, even compelled, to leave the narrow confines of the nest and launch out into the big world. What a task the father had brought upon himself? Surely the old woman in the shoe never had a more trying time. The fretful father darted away to punish one of the wrenlets for not remaining quiet; he scurried here to scold another for wandering too far, or whirled away to whip a third for not keeping low in the underbrush, away from the hawk's watchful eyes.—From William Lovell Finley's "Rearing a Wren Family" in St. Nicholas. Hon-Pon-Kuck-a-Da-Hook! The wind blows east. The wind blows west. The Wind blows over the Cuckoo's Nest; Shall he go East? Shall he go West? Shail he go under the Cuckoo's Nest? Hon-pon-kuck-a-da-hook! Hon-pon-kuck-a-da-hook!! In hon-pon two boys are "it;" master and cuckoo. The cuckoo is picked by a round of "Eeny Meeny," or of fist-knocking for the pebble; and he, in turn, chooses his master, who stands erect against a park fence or house wall. The cuckoo, facing him, bends forward at right angles and rests his head against the master's stomach. He is blindfold, and the master lays his fists on the cuckoo's back. The master, choosing a certain boy in the crowd, patent to all but the cuckoo, repeats the rhyme. Shall he go East? Shall he go West? etc., and pauses for the cuckoo to name the direction. Then the master leans over and whispers to the boy chosen, to run to some point east or west within the bounds of three or four blocks, agreed on for the game, and wait; around the corner, or in a far tenement hall or a doorway. If the cuckoo's order is to go under the nest, the master has nothing to say, and the boy must double himself up and crawl beneath the cuckoo. It's best to be sent there, as will be seen, and wonderful how many small bodies can squeeze under him. So all the boys are disposed of one by one, jointly by master and cuckoo, neither (save in going under the nest) fixing by himself any boy's fate. The rhyme is repeated to each by the master, the refrain by the crowd; and by this time every boy is supposed to have one good hard knot in his handkerchief, or a rag of some sort; but double knots, or knots with stones in them, or knotted straps and ropes are not allowed. When all are out the master cries, "All out;" the cuckoo stands erect, tears off his bandage, and the real play begins. The master shouts, "Hon-pon-kuck-a-da-hook! Hon-pon-kuck-a-da-hook!! Hon-hon-kuck-a da-hook!!" The third repetition is a signal for everyone in hiding to foot it, fast as legs can carry him, back to master and cuckoo at goal. Fun and confusion begin. The last man back is the proper mark for a good beating with every knotted handkerchief; but as every man is the last man in until the one next him in hiding distance from goal shows up, every player as he arrives gets a good beating. The first get fewer knots on their polls, and the later ones more and more; for, as soon as one boy has run the gauntlet he turns in to chastise his successors. The actual last man gets a long basting from the whole gang; but as for the men under the nest, they come in for no trouncing at all, and have nothing to do but to wield their knots, while the actual last fellow is rewarded by being made the next cuckoo, with choice of a master.—Robert Dunn in Outing. She Named the Populist Party. The Winfield (Kan.) Courier gives an obituary of Mrs. Elizabeth Clover, relict of the late Ben Clover, congressman from the Third district. Mrs. Clover died last Wednesday. She is accorded the honor of having selected the name "Populist" which was taken by the People's party. But more interesting is the statement that when her husband was engaged in politics she took charge of the farm and managed it so successfully that she was able to pay off a mortgage of $18,000, besides a lot of accumulated interest, and to put the family on the way to fortune.

Monuday being Memorial day wits demed a fiit and appropriate time to dedi- cate the Memorial whic has Been erect- cd by public subscription ove® the grave of our late lamented here, Lawson Han- cock, Who sacrificed his life just as nobly and heroically as the many other heroes whom the nation was honoris and mourning on that day. The relatives of those whom Hancock lost his life in endeavoring to save and the general publie had performed their part, incidted thereto by our esteemed contemporary, the Milwaukee Journal. 'The remains of Hancock had been re- ninved to a beautiful part of the cemetery and the handsome monument was in place ready to be handed aver to the eol- ored citizens of Milwaukee as represent- ing the relatives of him whose act apd death it was desired to commemorate. Everything seemed propitious. But the colored people of this city and state as a whole failed Lunentably to show their appreciation of the graceful act of the inceptors of and contributors to the move- mont, When the editor of this paper, accom- panied by some friends, arrived at the scene of dedication a short time before the announced time for the ceremony, he found, to his surprise and disgust, that ho preparations had been made for the ceremonial. It was Decoration day, and yet the grave of the hero was unadorned by one single blossom, Scores of white citizens were grouped aronnd to pay the tribute of their presence in a respectful and reverential manner, but he and his three friends were at that time the only representatives of the colored race in Milwaukee, They, xs far as the limited time and circumstances allowed, succeed: cd in, to a certain extent, retrieving the credit of their race by procuring what flowers they could in the neigehborhooc snd thus relieving the shameful naked ness of the grave. It was Decoratior day, and yet the grave of the hero anc the Christian, Hancock, was undecorat od by his former fellow worshipers ant brethren and sisters sin the congregation of St. Mark’s A. M.

I was Decoration day and the day of th presentation of the monument and ¢ large, probably a critical crowd expect ed, and yet the mouument remained wn decorated by the committee in charge 0 the affair, two of whom were colored ger tlemen and prominent citizens. After more than half an hour after th time fixed for the dedication not mor than fifty colored citizens of Milwavke had testified by their presence their ap preciation of Hancock's bravery and vi carious sacrifice, of the kindly though which had prompted the movement, or o the generous response of the contributor to the monument fund. To their hone and eredit be it said that the three minis ters of the colored churches, Revs Jamieson, Alexander and Robinson, wer on hand to show by their presence 2 example to their flock.- Such’ a showing and we say it with all kindly feeling, wa a discredit to our race, and we knov wis the occasion of much unfavorabl comment on the part of many of th white spectators. As usual somebod, hinndered, and we must say that in ou opinion the committee in charge are ac countable for that blunder in their ne giving sufficieut publicity to the fact that the dedication of the monument was fixed fer Decoration day.

Thousands of Dollars Sometimes Spent on the Purchase of Thimbles. - The costliest thimble in the world is ‘undoubtedly one possessed by the Queen of Siam. It was presented to her by her husband, the King, who had it made at a cost of rather more than $75,000. This thimble is quite an exquisite work of art. It is madle of pure gold, in the fasbion o- shape of a half-opened lotus flower, the floral emblem of the royal house of Siam. It is thickly studded with the most beautiful. diamonds and other precious stones, which are so arranged as to form the name of the Queen, together with the date of her marriage. She regards this thimble as one of her mostgprecious pos- sessions. Not long ago a Paris jeweler made a most clablorate thimble to the order of a certain American millionaire. It was somewhat larger than the ordinary size of thimbles and the agreed price was $25,000. The gold setting was scarcely visible, so completely was it, set with diamonds, rubies and pearls in artistic designs, the rubies showing the initials of the recipient. Five or six years ago a jeweler in the west cnd of London was paid & sha of nearly $15,000 for a thimble which the pampered wife of a South African croe- sus insisted on having made for her. This was one mass of precious gems— diamonds and rubies—whicn as thimble ornaments seem almost to monopolize feminine taste. The late Shah of Persia presented a thimble to a lady whose guest he! was for a few hours. In the words of the delighted recipient, it looked like a_clus- ter of glittering gems, which in reality it was, save for the gold in which they were set. An expert in precious stones valued this thimble at £7500.--London Answers. An Important Item Unsettled. S ge x alee if, & fo) Alin <i Mie.

MONUMENT ERECTED ° } TO A COLORED HERO. Block in Honoe. of Lawan Hancock Is Unveiled at Forest Home, :. REE: FE EEE a NE ee ee ee a Eee taneous contribution from men and wom- en who. wished to express in this way their adutiration of a brave tuah, now marks the grave of Albert Lawson Han- cock, 28, colored, who lost his life in an effort to resene two fellow workinen from a death trap in the North avenue tunnel. 'The monument was unveiled Monday afternoon with simple ceremonies at Forest Home cemetery. ‘The monument ix a rectangle of Wau- ‘shara granite, one of the finest granites in the world, polished on two sides, the highly rubbed surface being in pleasing contrast to the rough hammered edges. The inscription reads as follows: “Erected by an appreciative public to the memory of Albert Lawson Hancock, # colored man, who gave lis life in an attempt to rescue two white fellow work- men from asphyxiation in the North ave- nue tunnel, Milwaukee, September 1, 1903." After prayer by the Rey, H. Jamieson of St. Mark's A.M. E. church, and in the absence of Col. A. H. Hotister oi Madison, -who was the first contributoe. to the memorial fund, Mr. I. N. Stewart of the Milwaukee Journal, representing Mr. Ellis, a member of the committee, presented the monument to Lawson Han- cock’s relatives and friends in a sym- pathetic address. Mr. R. R. Gordon, the, administrator of the Hancock estate, in a few well chosen words accepted. the monument on their behalf and was foi- lowed by Attorney W. ‘IT. Green, who spoke in part as follows: “This day dedicated to the national dead is the most fitting that could be chosen ror the dedication of this monument of our hero, Dearth of information pre vents us from saying anything of the childhood, youth or early manhood of this remarkable man, The speaker then parrated Hancock's arrival in Milwau- kee ten years ago, unkempt, untutored, vneultured, a veritable diamond in the rongh—his frame that of a giant—his color, coal black.

Negro soldiers of the Ninth and Tenth cavalry, when their white officers were shot down at the battle of San Juan, swept everything before them and captured the Spanish position, saving the Seventy-first, New York and = the Rough Riders and thus preserving to the pation a Roosevelt.

Prairie du Chien Murder Trial Results in Conviction of One De- Prairie du Chien, Wis., June 2.—[Special.—James Dunne, Jr., was convicted of manslaughter in the third degree, after the jury had been out over fifteen hours, in the case of James Dunne, Jr., Andrew Overberg, near Towerville, on Andrew Overberg, near Towerville, on February 16. Gaswill was found not guilty under the direction of Judge Clementson. Dunne's sentence will be given tomorrow. Made Partial Confession. At the time of the arrest Dunne made a partial confession. Both he and Gaskill were arraigned at Soldiers Grove February 23. A Cowardly Attack. Andrew Overberg was a prosperous farmer of Towerville. He was returning from Soldiers Grove when he was met by his assailants. He was struck on the back of the neck with a heavy drag tooth, and the wounds proved fatal. Overberg was found in the snow, writhing in blood and life was almost gone. He was taken to his home in Towerville, where he died in a few moments. Both Young Men. Gaskill had been a resident of La Crosse. He is 29 years old and has a wife and two small children. Dunne lives in Rising Sun, is 23 and a brother-in-law of Gaskill. Threats of lynching were made at the time of the arrests. No Suspicion at First. It was at first thought that he had fallen from his cutter, and no suspicion was attached to the matter. This occurred Tuesday, February 16, and not until the following Sunday were any suspicions arouse. When search was instituted a heavy drag tooth and spattered blood were discovered in the sand half a mile from where the dying man was found. STANDARD HELD LIABLE Oil Trust Is Denied New Trial of Personal Injury Suit at Racine— May Appeal. Racine, Wis., June 2.—[Special.]—In the circuit court, this morning, Judge Belden denied the motion of the Standard Oil company for a new trial in the suit brought by Mrs. Catherine Canary for damages for alleged personal injuries. She brought suit for $1000 and the jury awarded a verdict of $610. The defendant company made a motion for a new trial. The court holds that damages may be recovered for physical injuries resulting from fright or mental shock, approximately caused by negligence of another, even though the physical injuries complained of be not contemporaneous with the fright or shock. The court also held that there was negligence by the defendant company for which the plaintiff might recover damages. The company had employed men to blast an engine bed, and in the explosion rocks and railroad ties were thrown against the house of Mrs. Canary. She was so frightened that she became seriously ill. This is the first suit of the kind ever brought in this state, and it is probable that the Standard Oil company will appeal. Another suit has been brought against the company by Mrs. Burdick for $5000 damages, for personal injuries. GIFT TO LAWRENCE. Unknown Benefactor Bestows $5000 on University at Appleton for the President Steele Chair. Appleton, Wis., June 2.—[Special.] An unknown donor has just given Lawrence university $5000 to complete the amount required for the President Steele chair. The report that Carnegie will give the college money for a library is untrue. VETERAN SHOOTS HIMSELF. John Skarrevota Kills Himself at Manitowoc—Had Found Sisters.

He was a veteran of the Spanish-American war and had been separated from his family for twenty-six years. Three years ago, at the time of his brother's death, he learned the whereabout of his two sisters, after twenty-four years. They reside in Montana. As a result, the property of his dead brother was divided between the three, and this fact preyed upon his mind. RURAL SERVICE FOR WISCONSIN. Gen. Bristow Assures This State of Generous Extensions. Washington, D. C., June 2.—Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow will at once take up several questions relating to the rural free delivery service. Wisconsin is assured of a generous apportionment of routes, including additional county systems. Efforts are being made by Representative Babcock to have Judge P. Walker of Boscobel continued in charge of the Chicago headquarters, while the friends of former States Senator Conger, now stationed at Nashville, are working to the end that he shall be continued as an inspector. ```markdown ``` DENOUNCES CHURCH SUPPERS AND FAIRS. La Crosse Minister Says Profits Are Too Small to Make Affairs Worth While. La Crosse, Wis., June 3.—[Special.]—Oyster suppers for churches and other functions of a similar nature used to get money for the support of religious institutions are an abomination. Such is the sentiment expressed by Rev. Ferris of the First Baptist church of this city at the meeting of the La Crosse Valley Baptists now in session in this city. The substitute proposed by Rev. Ferris is a contribution by all church members of one-tenth of their income, as is directed by the Bible. Too much gross receipts and not enough profit is the reason why socials should be discontinued. They average about $9 taken in and $3 profit. Rev. Ferris also made the startling announcement that he had preached temperance in this city until he was tired and he was beginning to think that it is of no use to attempt to do anything with the young people here in that direction.

Medford, Wis., June 3.—Frederick L. Till, a young carpenter of German nativity, living at Stetsonville, believes he has invented a motor that will revolutionize power generation. His machine is to run without combustion, and without steam pressure. It may be called a "spring motor," as springs are the source of power. The principle on which Till depends to run his motor is said to be that of one of the "lost inventions" of Germany. BIG SWITCH YARDS AT OSHKOSH. Rumor That St. Paul Is to Absorb Central Corroborated. Oshkosh, Wis., June 3.—Partial corroboration of the report that the Wisconsin Central railroad is to be absorbed by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul company is found in the announcement that the St. Paul company will shortly establish extensive switching yards and freight sheds on the south side of this city and tributary to the Central and St. Paul tracks. Oshikosh Man Labors Hard to End Shingle Weavers' Trouble. Marinette, Wis., June 3,—R. E.

The boy was leading a horse to water when the animal jerked the lad by the rope by which it was being led, and young Bartels fell on his head and was picked up unconscious an hour later.

Williams, an itinerant umbrella mender, until the police arrived this morning, and the fellow was arrested on a serious charge.

MAY BE DISCHARGED. Judge Clementson Says There Is No Case Against Gaskill and Dunne. Defendant Says He Remembers Nothing and Was Crazed with Liquor— Trial at Prairie du Chien. Prairie du Chien, Wis., June 1.—[Special.]—Claude Gaskill and James Dunne, Jr., who are charged with the murder of Andrew Overberg, a farmer of Towerville, were practically discharged from guilt by Judge Clementson, when he informed the jury and attorneys that nothing had been presented by the witnesses or defendants who were on the stand over an hour that could hold them for this serious charge. Dunne testified that his mind was an entire blank during the time the affair took place, being made so by liquor. The father, mother and sister, who was Gaskill's wife, also testified on the stand. The attorneys will make their arguments this afternoon. The judge's charge to the jury was murder in the first degree, manslaughter, or not guilty. UNIONS ARE UPHELD. Judge Dick at Beaver Dam Decides for Strikers—Decision Is Sweeping One. Beaver Dam, Wis., June 1.—[Special.] Judge Dick has handed down his decision denying the motion for a preliminary injunction in the suit brought by the Malleable Iron Range company of this city to obtain an injunction restraining the strikers at the plaintiff's plant from interfering with the employees of the plaintiff, or any persons who may desire to become such. Denied Making Threats. The defendants, appearing by Markham & Markham and W. B. Rubin, admitted that they joined a union and went upon a strike and that they induced employes of the plaintiff to leave its employment, but denied that they used any threats, personal violence or intimidation, and alleged that they did nothing illegal. They allege that the plaintiffs brought the action maliciously and for the purpose of destroying the union. Judge Decides for Defendants. Judge Dick upholds the defendants' contentions and finds that they acted within their right when they went out on a strike, whether they did so with or without cause, and the fact that they went out together by agreement does not militate against them in this case. Unions Are Commendable. In discussing the right to belong to labor unions, the court says: "Labor unions, when lawfully conducted, are not only commendable, but should be encouraged, but every man has the right to decide his own course within the law, and no body of men have the right in the law to enforce their rules or desires upon another against his will." No Violence Committed. The court found that no act of violence or injury had been committed by the defendants. Nor had the defendants interfered with the rights of the plaintiff. And that there has been no conspiracy or boycott against the plaintiff. Strikers Satisfied. The strikers express satisfaction over the result of the suit, which they state supports them in the course they have pursued. None of them have as yet returned to the employment of the company. The plant is running, but is badly crippled. WOMAN'S BODY IS FOUND. Unidentified Remains Taken from River at Sheboygan—She Was About 70 Years Old. Sheboygan, Wis., June 1.—[Special.]—The body of an unknown woman, about 70 years old, was found yesterday afternoon in the Sheboygan river near Fourteenth street bridge. She has not as yet been identified and no disappearance has been reported to the police.

According to Mr. Klover, he was standing near a group of trees close to his house, when two shots were fired at him. He believes there were three men. The new Lake View Beach theater, erected this spring, was opened last evening. A large crowd attended. A complete telephone exchange has been erected in the village of Oostburg. Eighteen phones have already been installed. EMPLOYES QUIT WORK. Relations in the Appleton Paper Mill Situation Are Rup- tured. Appleton, Wis., June 1.—[Special.]—Relations between paper mill employers and employes, which have been strained to the utmost, unexpectedly broke this morning. The Combined Locks mill employees today refused to go to work. Other mills' employes are to follow before Saturday. This follows the scathing arraignment the unions got from the employers last night in their communication. The men show the effects of the denouncement in many ways that indicate that there is trouble brewing under the surface which will come out soon and not stop at any ordinary limit. The mill owners are surprised by the action today and refuse to talk. WOODMEN HAVE PICNIC. Gathering at Madison Is an Unqualified Success—Fully 30,000 Strangers at the Capital.

It is alleged that Borden received a message and sent it as being dispatched from another town, that he destroyed the original copy, and pocketed the 30 cents charges. Other employees are under surveillance for this practice, and wholesale arrests of operators may follow. The technical charge is forgery. Mrs. Carrie McGuire returned from Italy, where she had been touring for three years, and went to Bellevue hospital to get news of her friend, Mrs. Lucy Clark, who had been in the hospital for almost a year before she left for Europe. It was found that Mrs. Clark died October 4, 1899, a few days after Mrs. McGuire left the country, and had been buried in potter's field. "It is outrageous," declared Mrs. McGuire, who said she saw a number of savings bank passbooks in Mrs. Clark's possession and knew they represented amounts exceeding $30,000. Mrs. Clark came to New York from Chicago fifteen years ago. Inmates of Sing Sing halted at first on the lines, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty," but sang it with a will after Mrs. Ballington Booth had explained that there was a liberty of soul into which all might enter. There were 100 charter members on the prison league rolls when Mrs. Ballington Booth of the Volunteers of America organized it at Sing Sing. There are now 20,000 men in the organization in the United States, and the country is a debtor to Mrs. Booth for thousands once submerged who have been reclaimed. Mrs. Booth spoke of 20,000 members in prison and out who belonged to branches of the league, and read dispatches of congratulation from Joliet and other prisons in the west. Three thousand prompt books, many of which are in the writing of such actors as Garrick, Macready, Forrest and Booth, containing in themselves an intimate history of the English stage of incalculable importance, are given to the New York public library by the will of the late James Becks, a veteran actor, who died the other day in St. Louis. It was the intention of the testator, who made the amassing of the collection a life work, that the volumes should be placed where they might be freely consulted by the dramatic profession. He was once persuaded to offer the collection for sale to Yale university and he was glad when the negotiations failed, for he feared that if it were so placed that it would not be of much benefit to a profession to which it should be of the most use. A nominal valuation of $10.400 was placed upon it at that time, but it is believed that an examination by experts will show that it is of far greater value. Elizabeth T. Greenbough of New York, widow of Benjamin T. Greenbough, has brought suit against Henry H. Rogers of the Standard Oil company and the executors of Charles Pratt, once Mr. Rogers' partner, for $50,000,000. It is the biggest suit ever brought in Massachusetts. One quarter of a cent on every gallon of oil refined by the Standard Oil company since 1874 is what Mrs. Greenbough claims is due her as the executor of her husband's estate. Mr. Greenbough in 1874 suggested a method of rendering the oil products nonexplosive and to refine oil so as to produce a safe lighting fluid. Rogers and Pratt, who were partners, accepted Mr. Greenbough's device, and the inventor bound them to pay him a quarter of a cent on each gallon of oil manufactured. The profits of Mr. Greenbough were large. He had received over 500,000 on account of royalties when he was lost at sea. A short time ago Mrs. Greenbough learned about the old-time contract and has determined to compel the Standard Oil magnates to disgorge. The newest thing in cigar cases is a holder that one can adjust inside a derby hat. It consists of a steel band arched along the crown of the hat, the ends of which can be inserted beneath the lining. The arch has a row of ten crooked teeth which act as catches to hold the cigars. When first seen it looks more like a musical instrument than a cigar holder. One of the assistant managers of the Waldorf-Astoria strolled into the servants' hall of the big hotel a few nights ago and found twenty contented looking policemen sitting at a long table. They were all busy plying their knives and forks. They were not disturbed, but ate their fill, and one by one they left the dining room. The manager began a quiet investigation. He learned that on one night as many as thirty policemen were uninvited guests of the hotel. The managers of hotels and big restaurants are always glad to supply policemen on hotel posts with what they want to eat. This is done all over the city. The man on the post is often of assistance to restaurants and hotels in case a customer makes trouble. When their posts were changed their invitations lapsed, but they didn't notice it. They continued to eat at the Waldorf, no matter where they happened to be on post. One man who was transferred to Central park used to make frequent trips to the Waldorf to eat. When the manager learned all these things he let it be known that the hotel would hereafter refuse to furnish meals to policemen not actually on service on hotel posts. That order will hold good hereafter, and the hotel will save some money. In the heart of the dry goods district there is a little Jewish cemetery, behind low red walls. Recently a neighboring barber fastened red and white striped signs on either side of the graveyard walk. On these are lettered legends relating to the quality of his razors. The contrast is strange to the passersby. It is said that John L. Sullivan has more pensioners than any man he ever heard of. Whenever John falls into a piece of money there is a hoard of these parasites around him at once. They get all the way from $5 to $500. Sullivan has not been earning any money of late, and he has been a very sick man. This seems to make no difference with the graffers. They even go to Boston to touch him. His last pile came from a benefit game of baseball, and it is all gone. The leeches got more than half of it. The trading stamp epidemic is not alone prevalent in New York. A Brooklyn "tonsorial artist" has placed in his window a sign bearing the information that he gives trading stamps with shaves and hair cuts. The most original idea thus far, however, is probably that of a dancing teacher, who has this sign placarded on the sides and back of a wagon traveling through the streets of a suburban town: Lessons, 25 cents. Every lady attending on Saturday night receives $1.00 in brown trading stamps FREE. Chao Chu, son of Wu Ting Fang, former Chinese minister to the United States and now vice president of the foreign board at Pekin, has been graduated WHERE JAPANESE NAVAL STRATEGISTS ASSEMBLE. NAVY DEPARTMENT. TOKIO Nothing is more wonderful than the perfect organization of the Japanese naval and military systems. Experts located in the building photographed above work out every detail of the attacks made by the Japanese on the Russians. at the head of his class in the Atlantic City high school. There were thirty-one scholars in the class. The young Oriental will begin the study of medicine in Philadelphia next fall. Something akin to the trading-stamp fever has broken out among the new hotels in New York city. They are giving away souvenirs with their dinners. A male guest will get a match box or a lapel flower, while the women are provided with bon-bon boxes and such toys. There is a fierce rivalry among the hotels just now for fashionable trade. Tom Donohue, the old keeper of the aquatic fowl on the Central park lake, reported to Director Smith of the menagerie that some one had stolen the five swan eggs which were in the nest on the shore of the lake. The director had hoped that the city could raise its own swans, and one of the fowl was doing her best to carry out his wishes. There are twenty-eight of the swans in the arm of the lake that stretches up between the Ramble and the West drive opposite the Museum of Natural History. A wire fence 8 feet high surrounds the quarters of the swans, who share them with 110 wild and domestic ducks and a number of geese. According to the park's experts, the market value of a swan's egg is $5, and a well-grown swan is worth about $65. After a brief agitation the New York City Mothers' club has amended its constitution in order to admit men associate members. The ladies announced that they would gladly receive the necessary membership fee of $2 from any respectable person of the male persuasion who is in sympathy with the purposes of the organization. Of course, as an associate member, he will not be allowed to vote. With the arrest of William Davidson, alias "Fred Hall," alias "Fred Halford," alias "Fred Hill," agents of the New York charity organization claims to have run to earth one of the cleverest church swindlers in the country. Officers of the society assert that reports in their hands charge a man answering his description with having collected nearly $50,000 during the last fourteen years from church The havoc wrought by the Japanese through the use of torpedo tubes has been so terrible that they are constantly on the watch for reprisals in this line from the Russians. The Czar has ordered a large number of these remarkably effective craft for use in eastern waters, which will be made at Cronstadt and shipped overland in sections. members in various cities. He has even been traced to Australia. It is alleged that Davidson would appear at a Presbyterian or Baptist church, attend services regularly for a time and then develop a consumptive cough. Soon he would appeal to members of the congregation for aid in seeking another climate and generally met with generous aid. Upon being arrested recently in Brooklyn he established a complete alibi, but agents of the society immediately set to work on other clues and have now caused his arrest a second time. Repeated attacks on automobilists by east side hoodlums, which culminated in the probable fatal wounding of Mrs. William C. Gottschall, who was struck on the head by a large stone, have brought out a plan by the police to protect motorists on their way to various ferries. So vicious have these attacks become that scarcely an auto car has reached some of the ferries recently without bearing marks of its passage. Adequate measures are extremely hard to frame, but the police department have recently arranged a scheme whereby certain broad streets leading to every east side ferry will be under special patrol and the chaffeurs who may wish to free themselves of showers of tin cans, stones, etc., will be invited to use those routes. What amounts to a general reduction of the staff to reduce expenses in every one of the seventy-five or more departments of the New York Central railroad system is going on in pursuance of an order issued from the office of President W. H. Newman. It is said by officials that no reduction in wages or salaries is contemplated, but whenever a man can be spared from the servive his position will be taken away from him. The reason given is the decrease in freight traffic allowing to the severity of climatic conditions last winter, which ate heavily into the earnings of the Central. The action of the Central is in line with that of the Pennsylvania railroad, which discharged 11,000 men recently. David Rothschild, former president of the Federal bank, which he wrecked, was sentenced to nine years in Sing Sing at hard labor by Recorder Goff in the court of general sessions. Rothschild had been convicted of grand larceny in the first degree, having been tried on one of four indictments. The specific charge on which he was convicted was the theft of a note of $10,000 belonging to a man named Nessler, while the convicted man was president of a bank. On the stand Rothschild admitted he owed the bank from $175,000 to $250,000. Hotel men who have been taking stock of their table utensils say that there is no apparent falling off in the amount of things stolen by guests. Silver pepper and salt shakers, oyster forks, doilies, etc., have been fairly eaten up. The hotel men say that women think it perfectly legitimate to take these things, just as men consider it no crime to appropriate an umbrella. They like to stick them about the rooms of their houses and display them as trophies of some gay dinner party of which they were members. Many of the big hotels give away souvenirs just to check the practice, but it has had little effect, as shown by recent inventories. There is a shop in Fifth avenue which makes a specialty of ladies' layettes. Here the rich papa and the adoring mamma may expend any sum between $100 and $10,000 for the outfit of their offspring. Five thousand dollar layettes are not uncommon. It is said that the Vanderbilt and Gould babies cost about $2000 and there are orders in the shop for outfits costing above $8000. A deal has been closed by which Arthur C. Alston and J. Emmett Baxter bought from William A. Brady the entire production used by Grace George in "Pretty Peggy," with rights covering all the western and southern cities. Jane Corcoran, a young actress who has won a reputation in these sections, is to play the title role. Grace George will remain in the all-sta: cast of "The Two Orphans" till February, when she will produce a new religious play. The recreation park for the children of the poor of New York, which Charles Mr. Schwab has been building in Staten Island, will be opened this summer. The park will be one of the show places of New York. There is nothing so elaborate and magnificent elsewhere in the world in the form of a pleasure ground for the poor. The cost to Mr. Schwab has been $1,000,000. What it will cost to maintain is known only to him. It is situated on the south shore of Staten Island, not far distant from Father Drumgoole's mission. It embraces a tract of land 65 acres in extent, with a frontage of 1300 feet on the shore of the lower bay and running inland over a wide expanse of level lawn, behind which is an agreeably diversified stretch of rolling country covered with trees of pine, spruce, maple and dogwood. Along the western side of the property is a lovely sheet of water called Arbutus lake. After having toiled more than thirteen years at $2 a day as a custom house weighter in a sugar refinery here, Patrick J. Hennessy of Brooklyn has suddenly found himself to be the heir of $400,000. He became cognizant of his good fortune through an advertisement inserted in a daily paper here by a firm of London solicitors, who have in charge an estate left by Hennessy's uncle. The latter was a wealthy merchant of Melbourne. He went to Australia in his youth and the nephew sought his fortunes in America, never having seen his benefactor since childhood. Ald. Michael Stapleton introduced an ordinance at the meeting of the board of aldermen providing that "Any person occupying the end seat on the entrance side of any open passenger car operated in the city who shall refuse, upon request, to change such seat to a vacant seat nearer the inner side of the car shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction, may be punished by a fine not exceeding $100, or by imprisonment not exceeding six months, or by both." Five $1000 treasury notes have been found in an old, moth-eaten coat purchased by Elmer Eckerson of Bogota, N. J., at an auction sale of unclaimed baggage in a railway station. Neither the trunk nor the coat it contained bore any marks of identification. Eckerson was about to throw the garment away when he discovered the treasure, carefully wrapped in oiled silk. The lucky buyer is 63 years old and will at once take a vacation in Europe. Clarence H. Mackay, president of the Postal Telegraph and Cable company, gave a dinner the other evening to the heads of his organization in commemoration of the sixtieth anniversary of the first telegraphic message in this country and the tenth anniversary of the opening of the postal building. The guests included all of the general and many of the assistant superintendents from all sections of the United States. Marietta villa, the summer cottage of the late Mrs. Paran Stevens at Newport, R. L., has been sold to New Yorkers for $60,000. Who the purchaser is cannot be ascertained, but it is said that the old cottage, which in the life of Mrs. Stevens was the scene of brilliant social affairs, is to be used as a Catholic school for girls. This information came from Mrs. Arthur H. Paget, the daughter of Mrs. Stevens, before sailing for Europe. Marietta villa is one of the pioneer villas of Newport. It is in Bellevue avenue, directly opposite the Casino. The estate comprises the large villa, stable and greenhouses, and spacious lawns. It is taxed for $54,300. Since the death of Mrs. Stevens it has been used as a fashionable boarding house. It has been in the market for some time, but was not wanted as a summer home. It was at Marietta villa where Count Castellane and the Duke of Marlborough were introduced to society in America, and it was here that Mrs. Stevens and Ward McAllister planned the social campaigns of Newport. The aldermen adopted an ordinance which, if signed by the mayor, will, it is believed, tend to restrict the building of new theaters and thereby increase the value of existing theaters. The ordinance provides that new theaters shall be surrounded by an open court from seven to fourteen feet wide. In case a theater is built in the middle of a block the court would run around three sides of the building, and if on a corner around two sides. The width of the court is to be determined by the seating capacity of the house. Where the seating capacity is 3000 or more the maximum width is demanded. It also is provided that the width of the stairways, corridors, and aisles shall be determined by the seating capacity. The ordinance went through with practically no comment. It was introduced soon after the Chicago theater fire. There was a meeting of theatrical managers to oppose it. At that meeting it was said George Kraus, who is in partnership with the Sullivans, told the managers that no matter how hard they might kick the ordinance would be passed. The Sullivans now own four or five theaters in this city. An elderly woman, who said she was Mrs. Anna D. Smith and that her father was postmaster general in President Lincoln's cabinet, was arrested recently, charged with violating the hotel law. Later her son, 30 years of age, who gave his name as Dennison Smith, was also arrested on a similar charge. Mrs. Smith sent a note to William H. Bliss, nephew of Cornelius N. Bliss, who, she said, was her lawyer. Mr. Bliss denied that she was his client and sent word to her that he was powerless to help her. Later he said that although he had not seen the woman under arrest, he had every reason to believe that she was Anna Dennison Smith, daughter of Gov. William Dennison of Ohio, who was postmaster general under President Lincoln and was continued in office by President Johnson. Miss Bertha Alexander, an independent young woman whose latest occupation was that of a cloak model in New York city, sailed recently aboard the liner Majestic for Liverpool, where she will take ship for South Africa. She has been betrothed for several years to Lieut. Richard Roland Thompson, who won his title by gallantry in the Boer war on the British side. Thompson enlisted as a private. Miss Alexander promised him as soon as he was able to marry that she would go to him. He became interested in diamond mining after the war and got along so well that recently he sent for her to come to Kimberley. Lewis G. Tewksbery, whose meteoric career and failure for a large amount in Wall street a few years ago attracted much attention, is reported to have been married in London to Miss V. A. Butler of New York. Tewksbery fled to Mexico in 1900 with only a few thousand dollars of his once large fortune. Mrs. Tewksbery recently secured a divorce. With a provisional contract in his pocket with Mme. Sarah Bernhardt for an American tour next season. Frank McKee arrived on the Majestic very well pleased. "My contract with Mme. Bernhardt is for twenty weeks, beginning next January," he said. "Then there is also the privilege of an extension of four or five weeks, if the conditions warrant. She will appear principally in 'The Sorceress,' but she also will be seen in other plays of her repertoire, including 'Sapho.'" Ricardo Arias and Dr. J. E. Morles, special commissioners appointed by Panama to receive the $9,000,000 on account of the canal concession, arrived in New York city. The money will be invested in this country. David Rothschild, who was convicted of grand larceny in connection with the Federal bank failure and sentenced to serve nine years in state prison, instructed his attorneys to withdraw their motion for a certificate of reasonable doubt. He will begin serving his sentence at once. Rather than be a sensational preacher, Rev. Edward Everett Knapp has resigned his pastorate of the Central Baptist church of Brooklyn. Empty benches Sunday after Sunday convinced Mr. Knapp that he was not preaching the sort of sermons that could draw the people. He told his friends that he would leave the church before he would resort to sensational methods to attract an audience. His friends urged him to keep on just as he had been going, but it was said that he became disheartened at the growing listlessness in the church and determined to resign. The Island of Nordstrand, the only portion of once fertile North Friesland which is as yet unreclaimed, is now to be saved from the sea by the construction of a large dyke. The island was first separated from the mainland by a terrific storm in 1634, during which over 6000 persons were drowned. Knew Where He Slept. Jobn L.

Mr. Stalker has never been sick, but he wanted to try the treatment, too; and while he has not gained in weight he says he feels better than he ever did be- fore and neither he nor his wife would sleep inside the house for anything. They have beds out on the veranda, which is enclosed with awnings to keep out the rain and the sun.

They sleep with the same amount of covering that one does inside in the winter with fal the fires going.

A flock of 100 or more sheep, bleating piteously in Starr Garden park _at- tracted the attention of a Nine- teenth district policeman, whose investi- gations revealed something without a par- allel, at least in city life. Henry Jarmon was the driver of the aneeh: Me blue- coat made his way through the assem- bled animals and was astonished to find Jarmon lying uneonscious upon_ the ground. It required but a short while to revive Jarmon, and he told to the sympa- thetic officer the story of his plight. He had driven the shore sor forty-two miles without stoppage. e was due to deliver them in a Jersey town at a cer- tain hour, and, being conscientious, he did everything to carry out his contract. The sheep bravely stood the ordeal of the long march, but Jarmon succumbed to fatigue. Jarmon must have been liked by the sheep, for no sooner did he give out and sink to the ground than they gathered about him, and, as if realizing that disas- ter had befallen their friend, began the cries that finally brought timely assist- ance. Jarmon was revived with suitable refreshments, shooed his four-footed com- ‘panions into line, and sheep and much- loved guardian passed down Lombard street en route for the South street ferry. —Philadelphia Telegraph. Primrose Salad. The American housekeeper is almost ready to shed tears over her inability to add that popular English dish, a prim- rose salad, to her collection of favorite salads. And now why doesn’t some in- yentive gardener of the amateur or pro- fessional sort set about supplying the de ficiency on American soil? Perhaps there is something in the American con- science that protests against devouring anything so beautiful to look upon, and that is one reason the primrose hasn't flourished alongside other ee but it may just as well be argued from the standpoint of the folk who would see beanty in everything, that the more beauty we have in,our vegetable gar- dens the more refining will be the in- fluences of things grown there, which is taking a rather impossibly poetic view of a homely situation, very likely, Never- theless, there is no reason why the deco- rative uses of the primrose should be at an end when we find it edible. Let it be reckoned as both decorative and edible. ‘Till then an acceptable salad of cowslips, or marsh marigolds, a_ cousin several times removed of the British primrose, may be acceptable in the early days of May when norma! appetites crave “some- thing different.”-—Boston Transcript. BOTH JAWS SHOT AWAY. See A man who had both jaws shot away had trouble eating ordinary food, but found a food-drink that supplies the nutriment needed. He says: “I have been an invalid since the siege of Vicksburg, in 1866, where I ‘was wounded by a Minie ball passing through my head and causing the en- tire loss of my jaws. I was a drum- mer boy, and at the time was leading a skirmish line, carrying a gun. Since that time I have been awarded the medal of honor from the Congress of the United States for gallantry on the field. “The consequences of my wound were dyspepsia in its most aggravated form, and I finally proved ordinary coffee was very hard on my stomach, so I tried Postum and got better. Then I tried common coffee again and got worse, I did: this several times, and finally as Postum helped me = every time I continued to use it, and bow often I think that if the Government has issued Postum to us in the Army how much better it would have been for the solider boys than coffee. “Coffee constipates me and Postum does not; coffee makes me spit up my food, Postum does not; coffee keeps me awake nights, Postum does not. There is no doubt coffee is too much of a stimulant for most people and is the cause of nearly all the constipation. “This is my experience and you are at liberty to use my name.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Look in each pkg. for the famous little book. “The Road to Wellville.” JEANNE D’ARC.

THE SECRET IGNORANCE. A professor of Oriental languages lay dying. He was a learned man, with a long list of initials after his name and a long, white beard. His work in philolo- gy is to this day spoken of with great vespeet. His studies in Elizabethan lit- erature were profound, and his clear and authoritative essays on the subject have just been collected from the learned re- views and republished. The Athenaeum speaks very well of them. “Doctor,” he said to his medical attend- ant, “am I dying?” & “Nonsense,” said the doctor irritably. “You've got quite a good chance of pull- ing through all right if you do what j you're told and don’t worry. And you've been worrying.” “How do you know that?’ “Never mind. It must be so; your mind is not at ease.” : “No,” said the professor wearily, “far from it; very far from it.” “Well,” said the doctor, cheerfully, “you must get over that. It cannot be a money matter.” “No,” said the professor, “my_ affairs are in order, I leave enough behind me; Jane is amply provided for." “Of course, if it is in any way con- nected with religion——" - The professor smiled with tired su- periority. “The few generalities which serve me for religion—all that my reason permits me to accept—are not enough to trouble me. ‘And yet I own that it is by my conscience that I am tortured. There has been something hidden in my life.” “I am pot curious,” said the doctor, “but if you think it would ease your mind to speak of it, I should strongly Teconinent you to do so, Could you not talk to your wife about it?” The professor shook his head. | “No, no,” he said, “it is one of the things— one of the many, many things—that Jane could never by any possible chance un- derstand. Perhaps, just at the last, I may tell you. You will regard it as a secret 7? “There is no need to put such a ques- tion to a doctor. You may depend upon me absolutely.” * * * * * * “Am 1 dying?’ he asked again the next morning. “No, no,” said the doctor, as he put down his thermometer. “But you're not so well. Of course, you haven't slept properly.” “No.” said the professor; “I've slept very little. How can I sleep with this burden on my _ mind?” | The doctor shrugged his shoulders and said_ nothing. “Come,” said the professor quickly, “I will tell you. The door is locked?’ The doctor turned the key and returned to the bedside. “Once,” said the professor, “I knew a woman——" “It's always a woman,” thought the doctor to himself. “A woman of the highest character— a good mother, an excellent manager of a household. She gave away the prizes at a girls’ school. I was there and saw her. In conversation something aroused my suspicions, and I said, ‘Do you know the name of the chancellor of the ex- chequer? She said she did, but she did not tell me the name, and she blushed crimson.” “Well. well,” said the doctor, im- patiently, “what has all this got to do with it?” “Her case is mine, except that mine is much worse. There are a certain num- ber of things which everybody is sup- posed to know. I sometimes think that nobody really knows all of them, and that more time is spent in trying to hide the ignorance than would be needed to acquire the information. But my own case is black indeed. I am esteemed. to be a man of learning. A volume writ- ten by me is a great event in the world of scholarship. I have been presented with the honorary degree of a great university, and was on that occasion complimented at considerable length in a Latin oration, “Dead Sea Fruit.” | “Come,” said the doctor, “ignorance of | some little thing which everyone is sup- | posed to know cannot be regarded as an | unpardonable crime. There is nothing to | worry about.” |, “You do not know how black my case jis. Listen.” His voice sank to a hoarse | whisper. “I do not know—I never have j known for more than a moment at u | time —how to spell the word, ‘seize.’ | “But really,” said the doctor, “one learns that kind of thing in the nursery.” “Some do,” said the professor. ““I never did. I never could. For the last thirty years I have never even looked the word up in a dictionary. It is of no use, The knowledge will not stop. Two minutes after I have seen it I have for- gotten it; and I, sir, am a professor of languages! As I look back all my life seems to have been filled with mean, cunning and disgraceful subterfuges to avoid spelling the word ‘seize.’ I have written other words when ‘seize’ was the word that I really wanted. My bitterest experience was with Jane. I was es- piaining to her one day that she did not understand anything about anything and that it would be a good thing if she were better educated. She was writing a let- ter aut the time, and perhaps not payimg sufficient attention to what I was ‘say- ing. At any rate, she looked up from her letter suddenly and said ‘How do you spell “seized,” George?’ ” “What did you do? Get out of the | room in a fit of coughing?” “No; she might have suspected. I told her, I told her definitely and firmly, and it is extremely probable that I told her wrong. I knew that the people who re- ceived the letter would be too delicate to speak of her mistake. But it is not the way to treat a wife.” +. eee Bee tg - His wife was with him when he died a few days later. He was only partially conscious.

The Growth of the United States Since the First Census tae set Vee The first census of the United States was taken in 1790 under a law signed by President Washington on the Ist of | Mareh of that year. A description of it ‘and of the methods since adopted is now published by the census bureau. In March, 1790, the Union consisted of only twelve states, for Rhode Island was not admitted till the following May. The next year, before the results of the census were announced, Vermont was added. Maine was then a part of Massa- cbusetts, Kentucky a fart of Virginia and Alabama and Mississippi were parts of Georgia. Ohio, Indiana, Llinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and a part of Min- nesota made up the Northwest Territory, asit was then known, and Tennessee, then a part of South Carolina, was soon to be organized as the Southwest Territory. Of the whole area of the United States, than 827,844 square miles, only 234,935 square miles were settled. Western New York was a wilderness. West of the Alleghany mountains, the country was unsettled and scarcely penetrated, with the exreree of a small part of Ken- jtucky, Detroit was a hamlet so smal peas it was not included in the first census. Philadelphia was the capital of lthe Union, Washington was only a city jon paper, not even named. | The Mississippi. river bounded the United States on the west. The Louis?- jana Purchase, celebrated by the St. Louis exposition, was not compiected till |more than a decade afterward, and in | 1790 that territory belonged to the King jot Spain. St. Louis, now a city of more jones 600,000 inhabitants. was hot even |# traders’ outpost. At the south the ter- }ritory known as the Floridas was an- jother Spanish colony. To Spain belonged | also Texas, which was a part of Mexico, jnnd the territory now divided into Cali- | fornia, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. | ‘The population of the United States in 11790 was 3,929,326, or about the present | population of the city of New York jalone. Generally there were either no jroads at all or they were poor. The | journey from New York to Washington jteok eight days. ‘Transportation was by | stage or private coach or on horseback. |It*is curious to note that besides these obstacles the marshals in taking the |census had to encounter much opposition on religious grounds, based on Scriptural | warnings against enumerating the chii- dren of Israel. In 1790 Virginia, with 747,610 in- habitants, was the most populous state jof the Union. Then came in this order |the other more populous states: | Pennsylvania 434,372 S$. Carolina... 249,073 | N. Carolina... 398,751 Connecticut. 237.046 | Ma’s’chusetts 878,787 New Jersey.. 184.139 New York... 340.120 N, Ha'pshire 141,885 Maryland... 319,728 | Since 1790 the area of the United | States has increased from 827,844 to 3,622,933 square miles. The population of the Union in 1903, as estimated by the | census bureau, was 79,900,389, these be- ing the twelve largest states: | New York.. 7,659,814 Ma’chusetts 2,974,021 | Penn'lvania 6,606,747 Indiana... 2.614.223 | IMinols..... 5,117,086 Michigan... 2.510.647 | Ohio....... 4.802.800 lowa....... 2.336.454 Texas...... 3.285.474 Georgia... 2'336.401 | Missoati.. 3.227.214 Kentucky.. 2/230,619 Only four of these existed as states in 11790. ‘Together they contained in 1903. | according to this estimate, 45,201,483 in- habitants. Even in 1870 the whole pop- | cae of the Union was only 38,558,371. | In 1860, the year before the Civil war, /it was only 31,133,744. At present the | population outside of the twelve states |is 35,698,906. The cities with an esti- | mated. population in 1903 exceeding half |a million were: | New York.. 3,716,139 St. Louls.. 612,279 Chieago.... 1,873,889 Boston..... 594,618 | cake 1,267,715 Baltimore.. 581,813 | Those six cities had a combined popu- jlation of 8,695,945. The population of jthe eleven states of the old Southern | Confederacy was only 8,996,248 in 1860.

Catarrh of the Stomach Is Generally Called Dyspepsia—Something to Produce Artificial Digestion Is Generally Taken. Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host of Other Digestive Remedies Has Been Invented. These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat of the Difficulty, Which Is Really Catarrh. X. U. S. Senator M. C. Butler from South Carolina, was Senator from that state for two terms. In a re- cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., from Washington, D. C., says: «<I can recommend Peruna for dys- pepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for a short period and I feel very much relieved. it is indeed a wonderful medicine be- sides a good tonic.’’---M. C. Butler. The only rational way:to cure dyspep~ sia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce artificial digestion. It cures catarrh and leaves the stomach to perform digestion in a natural way. This is vastly better and safer than resorting to artificial methods or narcotics. Peruna has cured more cases of dys- pepsia than all other remedies com- bined, simply because it cures catarrh wherever located. If catarrh is located in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it, as well in this location as in any other. Pernna is not simply a remedy for dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Peruna cures. dyspepsia because it is generally dependent upon catarrh.

The Doussed Was a Prominent Figure in the Business, Social and Intellectual Life cf Milwaukee. Milwaukee, Wis., June 1.—[Special.] —John Johnston, vice president of the Marine National bank, died at 12:30 o'clock yesterday at his residence, 645 Franklin place, after an illness of about six months, at the age of 68 years. The cause of death was heart trouble, complicated with a recent attack of pneumonia. On Monday Mr. Johnston suffered a collapse and for some hours his condition was serious, the end seeming to be near. He rallied in the afternoon and seemed again to be on the road to improvement, and was considered better during Tuesday. Late in the afternoon he suffered another sinking spell, from which he did not rally, the end coming after several hours of unconsciousness. His wife and son and other near ones were with him at the end. Suffered from Heart Troubles. Some two years ago Mr. Johnston was informed by a physician of the fact that he had a heart affection, which discovery was made in connection with an applica- [Name] tion for an increase of life insurance. The physician informed him, however, that he did not regard the trouble as serious at that time, and said it might be overcome with care. Later, another physician endorsed his application for increased insurance, and Mr. Johnston joked his first physician friend about "the scare you gave me." Some time last fall, however, the danger found by the first physician began to be more fully realized, and it became known to his intimate friends that the vigorous, temperate and robust-appearing man was a victim of a heart trouble which threatened serious results. Mr. Johnston then began to realize his condition, and he dropped all business cares for the time. He seemed to recover and several times returned to the bank under the belief that he was sufficiently strong to again enter upon the discharge of his duties there. In less than two weeks he received a back-set and was confined to his residence for several weeks more. He then returned to the bank and remained a few hours each day for a week, when he suddenly collapsed at his desk and was conveyed to his home in a carriage. Mr. Johnston never entered the bank again. Suffered from Pneumonia. Two weeks ago Mr. Johnston suffered a mild attack of pneumonia which, under ordinary circumstances, would not have been serious. Added to his already weakened heart and constitution, the attack reduced him quickly and his condition was realized to be again serious. He recovered from the attack; but was weakened beyond the power of advancing again, and on Monday the warning came in a sudden collapse. A native of Scotland, John Johnston, although he came to the United States when a bad, was always a pronounced Scot. He enjoyed and took an active part in her native games and sports, and was an expert and enthusiastic curler, as well as an authority upon the game and all the manly sports of his native land. Mr. Johnston's mother was Margaret Mitchell, a sister of the late Alexander Mitchell, and after attending school at Savoch, in his native land, until he was 12 years of age, the boy started for the new world, at the request of his uncle, Mr. Mitchell of Milwaukee. He reached the home of his uncle on March 10, 1856, entering the bank at once as a general accountant. Under the direction of Mr. Mitchell, the nephew early secured that careful, methodical, sound business training which characterized his entire career. The young employee of the bank was advanced, step by step, through the various positions. At 30 years of age he was made assistant cashier of the bank, and in 1887 he became cashier. In 1893 he retired from the bank for a time, having transferred his interests to his cousin, John L. Mitchell. Mr. Johnston then devoted his time and talents to private interests, but the financial panic of that year changed conditions, and at a time when Mr. Johnston believed himself beyond the cares and worries of active business he found that he was practically ruined, unless he took advantage of the strict letter of the law, by which he might have avoided all responsibilities in connection with the collapse of the Mitchell bank. But John Johnston did not take such advantage. He took his stand alongside of the other men directly interested; he made an assignment of his personal belongings, and went down with the crash. He was one of the first to undertake the reorganization of the bank, and became its vice president when Washington Pecker entered the new institution as president. During his long business career, Mr. Johnston was identified with public and political movements. He was elected a member of the board of aldermen in 1867, serving for two years; in 1874 he was selected a trustee of the public library, remaining as such until 1881, when he was appointed a member of the public debt commission, serving until 1893. He was for twenty years a trustee and treasurer of Milwaukee college, and was one of the chief workers to unite Milwaukee and Downer colleges. He was a director of the chamber of commerce for a number of years, and also its vice president. He was appointed a member of the board of regents of the Wisconsin university, serving for several years as president of the board; also, as president of the Wisconsin State Historical society. A. G. Thwaites of that society recently dedicated a scientific and historic book to his friend and valued aid. John Johnston. Mr. Johnston also served for years as a trustee of Carroll college at Waukesha. He was an elder of Calvary Presbyterian church, and for many years he was actively identified with the Milwaukee Curling club, several bowling clubs, the Milwaukee Rifle club, St. Andrews' society, the Masonic order, in which he was a sir knight, and member of Wisconsin commandery No. 1. His blue lodge was La Fayette lodge, and he was a member of Wisconsin consistory of the Scottish Rite bodies. He was also a member of the Phantom club. In politics Mr. Johnston was a Democrat, although he voted for Abraham Lincoln for President. He also voted for William McKinley, as against Bryan and the free silver platform. He was chairman of the Democratic state convention which nominated George W. Peck for the first time for governor. Mr. Johnston was an officer and director in the Milwaukee Cement company and for a number of years he was a director and member of the board of trustees of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance company. In literature Mr. Johnston held a place. He wrote vigorous articles upon public and historical matters. He was the author of the article on Milwaukee to be found in the Encyclopedia Britannica, as well as that on Scotland for Salor's Encyclopedia, and an article on curling for Johnson's Encyclopedia. In 1861 Mr. Johnston was united in marriage with Miss Margaret Hunter of Scotland, whose death occurred in 1878. Three years later he married Miss Ethlinda Marie Thorsen, a daughter of the late John Thorsen of this city, who, with a daughter and a son, Jack Johnston, survives him. A daughter by the first wife is married and resides in Aberdeen, Scotland. JOY OF LIVING FOR IDEALS Uplifting of Race Depends on Raising Individual Standards That was a wise old clergyman who urged his brethren not to admit young men to the ministry unless they were evidently more broad-minded and enthusiastic in their faith than their elders. "We must allow," he said, "for the inevitable shrinkage." The same allowance is necessary in every life for the sure closing in of the real upon the ideals of youth, and the unavoidable narrowing of hope and aim that must come with middle age. The more idealism we start with, the more stoutly we defend it against the shocks it is certain to receive, the more joyous life will turn out to be as we go on living. The dreariness of the middle-aged view of life springs largely from the fact that its ideals are so shrunken as to be no longer a source of vitality, of renewal. As long as we believe in life, and in love, and in friendship, and in heroism, and in other ideal possibilities, life is worth living, and we are strong to take our part in it. Living for ideals is happy and courageous living. Living without them is "the dull gray life and anathetic end." for such is the working value of ideals she would have educated and inspired him by her idealization till, in his best moments, he lived up to it, and in his worst never shamed it. No man ever comes to his best possibilities, and no woman, either, until conscious of representing to other hearts more than they dare hope for in themselves. Children need the nurture of ideals. A mother without ideals can never have noble sons. To teach growing boys and girls to "see the world as it really is" is to utterly unfit them for making the world any better by their lives. It is also to cruelly diminish their chances of happiness. "With thought, with the ideal, is immortal hilarity, the rose of joy," says Emerson. To keep the rose of joy fresh and unfading, to scatter continually its fragrance to others, is the most enduring charm a woman can possess.—Harper's Bazar. Prepared for the Worst.

It is to be noted that if more than one year old, wrens come directly to their nesting site of the preceding summer. If it is still intact, all's well. There is no loitering in the neighborhood, nor has it ever happened, so far as my observation extends, that a single bird appears and a mate subsequently comes upon the scene. The pair arrive together. This is unquestionably true of my doorstep wrens of the past seven summers, and suggests that the marital tie is not voluntarily broken, whatever the birds' careers from August to April. The male may lose his mate, but he soon finds another, and the widowed bird may lose her lord, but she promptly mates again, and so one or the other keeps the old summer home in mind and it is never forsaken. It becomes a fixed feature of their lives.—Dr. Charles C. Abbott in Lippincott's. Mt. Olive Baptist Church. 221 SEVENTH STREET. Sunday: Morning service, 11:00 Sunday school, 1:00 p. m.

While the spring season of departures is at hand, a farewell entertainment given not long ago to a young woman going abroad for two years may be described, particularly as it is equally pertinent for other departures. Care was taken that the company should include only mutual friends of the hostess and guest of honor, in order that the spirit of the evening should be cordial. As each guest entered the parlors he or she was handed a letter, duly sealed, stamped, postmarked, and inscribed. These had been prepared by the ingenious hostess, cheap foreign stamps of any denomination representing the postage, the postmark corresponding to the stamp sketched on in ink. On breaking the seal and reading the note within, it was found to be a request that the recipient should express, in rhyme, a good wish for Miss —, as she would be un dergoing various experiences. One was asked to give her a thought while she was seasick, another of her in her steamer chair on a fine day, or unpacking her trunk, or fighting the foreign customs, or feeling the beggars of Europe, drinking beer in Germany, or eating maccaroni in Italy. In this way each guest received a different topic upon which his muse could work. Nothing less than four lines would be accepted, and as much more as one could produce would be received. When time was called the "poems" were read, and prizes awarded according to their merit as judged by the company. The second contest was a surprise sprung upon the assemblage. All the envelopes were collected as soon as opened, and marked with the names of those who had received them, and the next set of prizes was given out for degrees of excellence with which the envelopes had been broken. As no hint of this test was made at the outset, the result was not without its chagrined fun, Telegrams could be written if preferred, a blank to be enclosed for the purpose in each envelope.—Philadelphia Telegraph. RELICS OF THE WAR. An Old Government Wagon That Followed Sherman to the Sea. Among the curious things exhibited at the world's fair are an old army wagon and an ambulance that saw service in the Civil war. They occupy conspicuous places in the government building and attract a great deal of attention. On this old wagon is a card reading: "This wagon was used from 1861 to 1863 in the Army of the Potomac, when it was sent to Nashville, Tenn., from there to Chattanooga, Atlanta, Milledgeville, Millin, Columbia, Charleston, Goldsboro, Raleigh, Danville, Barkville, Richmond and Washington city, 4160 miles, with Gen. Sherman, four years and nine months with the Second division, Twentieth corps." It is one of the old six-mule wagons so commonly used during the war for transporting supplies, baggage, etc. The ambulance displays a card reading: "Office Wagon of Gen. George H. Thomas." It contains many apartments and pigeon holes for papers and books. These old relics are both out of date, but are features of interest to thousands of visitors at the fair. To Start Forests of Pine and Spruce. The state forestry board will plant in a few days in the nursery in the Pillsbury forestry reserve in Cass county approximately 5,000,000 pine and spruce seeds, and if the season is favorable it is estimated that at least 3,000,000 seedling trees will result. The seeds will be planted in rows five inches apart. Five seeds will be planted to every lineal inch and it is estimated that at least three out of the five seeds will germinate. For several weeks after the plants come out of the ground they will be screened from the excessive heat of the sun by screens of lath and brush. After they are two years old they will be taken up and planted in the reserve at the rate of 2000 seedlings to every acre. There are 1000 acres in the Pillsbury reserve and the 3,000,000 seedlings will be more than enough to cover the reserve.—St. Paul Pioneer Press. Opium Smuggling Schemes. The greater part of the smuggled opium that comes into New York is probably brought from Canada by way of Plattsburg, and from there it is transferred to Albany and brought to New York by boat. It comes concealed in all sorts of merchandise, and frequently the methods employed are very ingenious. Not long ago a treasury agent discovered a quantity of the drug in a box of lemons. The lemons had been cut in halves, carefully scraped and the opium substituted for the fruit, the rinds being neatly joined so that the seams were invisible.—New York Letter to Pittsburg Dispatch. —Six former slaves of Richard Bullock Seawell served as pallbearers at his funeral the other day at Raleigh, N.
