State Historical Society member Since August WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE JAMES O. DAVIDSON. Defeated L. L. Lenroo; for Republican Nomination for Governor VOLUME VIII. JAMES O. Defeated I. L. Lenroot for Repu A NATIONAL PROBLEM. A NATIONAL PROBLEM. Discussed in a Masterly Manner by a Representative of the Negro Church at the Methodist Church. Those who availed themselves of the privilege to hear Mr. Hunter at the Methodist Episcopal church Sunday afternoon were both pleased and surprised as they listened with breathless interest while this able representative of the Negro race recounted his struggles in the south to better the condition of his people. Mr. Hunter said in part: We, the accumulated remnants of an enslaved people, are here; not by any will of our own, but by the prowess and avaracious greed of the proud Anglo Saxon race. Our coming to these shores was providential. We are not here to find fault with the acts of the past. We are here and here to stay. The problems to be settled regarding our stay here are not social equality, for the Negro does not desire that nor does he contend for it, it is not political preferment, because that is a question which will adjust itself in the eternal fitness of political life. It is not Negro domination, for in the thirteen states where he is said to predominate, the whites outnumber him two to one. Only in Georgia and Mississippi does the Negro outnumber the whites. The lack of educational facilities for his intellectual advancement in these two states alone makes it impossible for a hundred years, at least, before the Negro as a race can hope to measure arms with any race who have always enjoyed freedom. The real problem for the American people to consider after conferring freedom upon the American Negro, is whether or not he is a man, with all of the inherent rights of a man. If you decide with Sumner, Phillips, Garrison, Douglass, Lovejoy, John Brown and Lincoln that he is a man, then the question needs no further debate. Set about at once to restore him to manhood rights. Give him a man's chance. Deportation, amalgamation, misgregation nor usurpation will not solve the question. The Negro is as much a distinct race as the Indian, the Chinaman, the Italian or any other race. He has shed his blood for the perpetuity of this government from the revolutionary period to the Spanish-American war. All he asks is an opportunity. Although in forty years he has made a record unequaled in human history, he contends that that period is too brief to demonstrate his real worth to his country, when pitted against the example of his former masters to rise. "The Negro asks that you open and help him to operate industrial schools for him in the great south, that he may learn the lesson of economy, thrift, industry and enterprise. "Forty years is too short a time for an enslaved people to learn the use of money. He needs to come in touch with that culture and refinement which any race must reach before they can become strong in character and moral worth. "With four thousand years of inherited wealth, culture and refinement many of the white race are much lacking in these characteristics. "The 900,000 Negroes in my state need such schools as will teach them industry and economy, the real value of moral worth. Thousands of them are worth- --- less because they have nothing to inspire them to higher and nobler efforts. Eighty-five per cent of them are on the farms. They need to be taught the real value of the soil and how to get the most from each year's work. Thousands of hungry youths are flocking every year to the railroads and cities to become much worse citizens than when on the farm. Any American who does not believe in the elevation to citizenship of any class or race of Americans is himself a dangerous citizen and a menace to good government. "The aim and object of the Noxubee Industrial school is to reach the plantation Negro and help to lift him to intelligent and industrious citizenship by helping him to develop the resources within his grasp and utilize them for his own good. The Negro is the only race in America, of any known strength, who is undivided in his purpose. He has inherited a feeling of racial inferiority as well as a spirit of disloyalty to each other. To this fact alone does slavery owe its long duration. No scheme for ... moral, industrial and intellectual elevation can hope to be eminently successful without the sanction and co-operation of the white man. Since this is true, the moral obligation of the white man is intensified in behalf of their black brother." Got Preacher Job. Dr. Ira A. Priest, twice mayor of Akron, O., recently got a place for a Methodist preacher through a somewhat peculiar recommendation. A friend asked Dr. Priest about the Methodist. "Well, he is an intelligent gentleman," replied Dr. Priest. "As to his personal characteristics, he chews tobacco——" "That's enough," replied the man who had the job to give. "But I was only telling you—," began Dr. Priest. "Well, you have told enough. Any man who has the nerve to stand out against the whole Methodist church and chew tobacco certainly has some backbone and is the man I want." Dr. Priest was formerly president of Buhtel college. Political News. Under the primary, The Wisconsin Weekly Advocate and its many readers regrets the downfall and defeat of Hon. Theodore Otjen from the Fourth district. But, he has no one to blame but himself, he was warned time and again that his opponent was working night and day and was not leaving a stone unturned. We are told that the Congressman turned down some of his old workers both black and white, who have stood by him for the last eight years. As a result they went over for Cary. Another thing we should not rely too much on overconfidence. He depended largely on the old soldiers' vote. Got badly left. Keystone Hotel News Mr. Douglass Moore, one of our race and business men of our city, did excellent work on primary day for the Hon. F. X. Boden, also Davidson and O'Connor, Frank O. Phelps, William Knell, Fred Cordes and our new elected county treasurer. Everybody knows the above gentleman, as he is a worker. Primary Election. The whole and entire state as regards its citizens are thoroughly satisfied with the election at the primary of Davidson and O'Connor. The county of Milwaukee is more than satisfied at the result. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, AUGUST 31, 1906. POLITICIANS PREPARING TO SELECT A NEW STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE. State and Legislative Candidates Meet at Madison, September 25, to Frame Platform. The politicians are now exerting themselves in carrying out the provisions of the primary election law in regard to the party organization. Thursday was the day for the meetings of the precinct committee—men in the various wards for the selection of a ward chairman who is to be a member of the county committee. Koehler for Chairman Again. Chairman Peter J. Koehler was so busy since election with his routine work as deputy comptroller that he gave no attention to the precinct committees until today. It is believed, however, that the men suggested by the Davidson-Connor committee are chosen in numbers sufficient to control the county committee and that Mr. Koehler will easily be re-elected chairman. Candidates to Meet at Madison. On Tuesday, September 25, the meeting of candidates for the selection of a state central committee and a chairman thereof will take place. Steps are al- [Image of a man in a suit with a tie and a bow tie. The background is a solid black oval. The man's face is centered, and he has a serious expression. The image is in black and white.]] (Who May Succeed W. D. Connor as Chairman of Republican State Central Committee.) ready being taken to secure votes for certain candidates for places on the state committee. W. D. Connor will, of course, not be chosen for chairman. William L. Essmann, who was manager of the speaker's bureau of the Davidson Connor campaign, has been mentioned as a possible candidate for state chairman and his friends are urging the candidates to vote for him. Essmann for Chairman Mr. Essmann has taken a prominent part in Wisconsin politics since coming to this state in 1889 from Indiana, where he was prominent in the politics of that state. At one time he was superintendent of the Indiana state prison and was principal clerk of the House of Representatives in 1888. He ran for sheriff of Indianapolis but was defeated by a narrow margin after a hot campaign. In Wisconsin he was in charge of the speaker's bureau in the La Follette campaigns of 1902 and 1904. He was chief clerk of the insurance department under Zeno M. Host until last September when he resigned to accept a position in New York in the insurance business. Mr. Essmann is 36 years of age and has a wide acquaintance with the most prominent men throughout the Meeting of Candidates. The primary election law provides that the candidates for the various state offices and for the Senate and Assembly nominated by each political party at the primary election and hold-over senators of each party shall meet at the capitol at 12 o'clock noon on the fourth Tuesday of September after the primary election. They shall forthwith formulate the state platform of their party. They shall thereupon proceed to elect a state central committee of at least two members from each congressional district and a chairman of such committee and perform such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. The platform of each party shall be framed at such time that it shall be made public not later than 6 o'clock in the afternoon of the following day. Lenroot or Rogers. It has been suggested that Irvine L. Lenroot, the defeated candidate for the nomination for governor, may be a candidate for state chairman. Alfred J. Rogers of Madison is also mentioned. Edward L. Tracy, who was in charge of the secretary of the campaign committee for Davidson and Connor in Milwaukee county, is a candidate for member of the state committee from the Fifth district. The present state central committee is as follows: W. D. Connor, chairman; H. F. Cocnems, secretary; C. C. Gittings, Racine, treasurer; Perry C. Wilder, Evansville, vice chairman; John M. Nelson, Madison.; Charles Caldwell, Rio; Dr. W. J. Pearce, Dodgeville; D. O. Mahoney, Viroqua; William Kieckhefer, Milwaukee; Bernard Jungbluth, Greenfield; Dr. W. A. Jones, Oconomowoc; August Buchholz, Milwaukee; Otto Gafron, Plymouth; William Kohl, Mayville; W. H. Smith, Mondovi; H. L. Ekern, Whitehall; W. H. Dick, New London; E. F. Kileen, Wautomo, J. A. Van Cleve, Marinette; J. P. Dousman, Depere; W. T. Stevens, Rhinelander; J. B. Hagerty, Medford; S. J. Bradford, Hudson; Currie G. Bell, Bayfield. Witte Is Perplexed Chairman R. S. Witte of the Democratic county committee, is away up in the air as regards the organizations for his party. He called at the office of the county clerk on Thursday to try to get some information as to whom had been chosen for precinct committeeemen in the different wards but Mr. Phelips declined to open the sealed packages of ballots. Tonight is the night provided by law for the precinct committees to meet to organize, but Chairman Witte suggests that the meetings be postponed for a week or so until he can find out where he is at. The Social Democrats will pay little attention to the law, merely going through the formalities to comply with the statute. All the work for that party is done through their own branch organizations. Mr. W. L. Essmann, who is a candidate for the chairmanship of the Republican state central committee, should receive all the support of the colored race of Wisconsin, as he is one of our warmest supporters. There never has as far as can be ascertained any colored citizen appealed to him in vain. Wolf Dressed Up in Sheep's Clothing. When the cheap one horse sheet, which made its appearance in Milwaukee a few months before election for the purpose of holding up candidates under the pretense of being a race paper, made its initial appearance, it had a good deal to say about mudslinging, clean journalism, and so forth. It even had the overpowering impudence to criticise its superior, The Wisconsin Weekly Advocate, for what it had nerve enough to call scandal, because this paper having caught some of that paper's subscribers in acts which were not creditable held them up to public gaze in order that others of the same gang might take warning. We paid little attention to that valedictory for two reasons; first, we knew that it was false; second, we to use a slang phrase, "Knew the Nature of the Beast." Men who can write such stuff as the slanders and mudslinging as have appeared in a certain newspaper within the past few weeks concerning respected citizens, can no more run a clean newspaper than water can run up hill. Is their recent attempt to scandalize the pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal church clean journalism? And yet the editor of that sheet claims to be a Christian; when he meets the pastor he calls him brother, and at love-feast time can get down on his knees and pray a longer prayer than Judas Iscariot. Mr. C. M. White, one of our most respected citizens, is a clean man against whom the finger of criticism has not even been pointed. But could this petty, whining, mudslinging sheet lea him alone? No. He had no sooner been promoted to a first-class position in the employ of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway company, than this sheet, actuated by malice and envy, began to throw mud and ridicule at him. It is even reported that it is even now engaged in an underhand and disgraceful scheme to get Billy Tate's job at the city hall for some of the crowd, and only failed because the sheet had no influence. At a recent so-called meeting, according to our contemporary, the time of the meeting was taken up in denouncing the editor of this paper. And by whom? Whatever our faults may be we have never made our living by collecting money wherewith to bury the dead and pocketing half of it. Cut out this mean, disgraceful effort to throw stones at your contemporaries because they happen to be cleaner, better, more up to date and more influential that you and your days may be lengthened at least a few weeks after the November election. Bequests Most Unusual. Very unusual bequests are contained in the will of the late William Henry Plowman of Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire, England. Mr. Plowman left 75 cents each to ten men over 80 years of age who were to attend the funeral and a similar amount to twelve young women. two from each of the six non-conformist places of worship in the town, who were also to attend at the graveside and sing "Rock of Ages." The conditions were observed at the interment. Mr. Plowman leaves $5000 to the Petersborough infirmary and $500 to each of the six Whittlesey chapels. Sir Donald Mackenzie Wallace has one to Russia, on whose history and present condition he is a great authority. He accompanied the Czar when, as Carowitz he made the Eastern tour in 1890. JOHN A.

We commend the action of Mr. Phelps in investigating this schmee before parting with his coin. If more of our business men would investigate these "touchers" there would be less grafting for so-called industrial institutions. 六 六 六 Mrs. Garry of 35 Juneau avenue is lying very sick at Milwaukee hospital.

Cat Came Back "And the cat came back," as the old "saw" goes, was aptly illustrated in the return from a three weeks' trip of the pet cat that has made the freight depot of the North-Western road in Appleton, Wis., her home ever since she was a kitten. Not long ago a freight car that was being loaded with freight for shipment to Little Chute was being inspected by the feline on a quest for mice. During her probings in the dark interior of the car the door was shut and she was made a prisoner. The consignment of freight arrived at its destination, Little Chute, and the feline was released. Taking a liking to the little burg at first arrival she took up her abode there for three weeks. Through a strange chain of circumstances the cat again entered a box car in a search for forage, having become addicted to this habit from living at a depot. She was again imprisoned in a box car that was destined for Appleton. The employes at the depot welcomed the return of their pet with great rejoicing and nothing is now too good for the expert rat and mouse catcher of the freight depot. Gordons Fine Record Twice lord-lieutenant of Ireland, governor-general of Canada and lord high commissioner of the church of Scotland is a part of the distinguished official record of Sir John Campbell Gordon, seventh Earl of Aberdeen, who was born August 3, 1847. Although the Aberdeen earldom is rich and ancient and one of the most important in the kingdom, yet the present peer and peeress live the "simple life," do good works, and uphold the domestic tradition of a bygone period. Their only daughter—now Lady Marjorie Sinclair—received a home education, interested herself in poorer children, and edited a magazine called Wee Willie Winkle. Then Lord Aberdeen sent his two younger sons to one of the big ship building yards in Aberdeen as ordinary apprentices. His eldest son and heir, Lord Haddo, is soon to wed the widow of a wealthy Sheffield draper and the mother of his college chum. Lady Aberdeen is a woman of high mental attainments and much individuality. The Lady and the Farmer. By the side of a certain portion of a suburban railway stands a glue factory which sometimes gives out a particularly offensive smell. A lady who was obliged to travel on this line quite often always carried with her a bottle of lavender salts. One morning an old farmer took the seat beside her. As the train neared the factory the lady opened her bottle of salts. Soon the car was filled with the horrible odor of the glue. The farmer put up with it as long as he could, then shouted: "Madame, would you mind puttin' the cork in that 'ere bottle?"—Titlits. --- Se ee ee EE ee THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY “ADVOCATE -R. B, MONTGOMERY, Edi‘or and Proprietor, TERRIBLE TRIP IN AIR Mrs. Roper of Brooklyn Hangs Down: ward, Swinging from Rope—Rescued by Performer on Trapeze. MIDDLETOWN, N. Y., Aug. 30. Ha»ging bead downward from a rapidly ascending bali-on, Mrs. Roper of Brook- lyn, a spectator ot a balloon ascension at Ellenville, was carried nearly 1000 feet into the air yesterday while 10,000 horror stricken people expected to see her dashed to death every moment. The occasion was the Ulster county fair, and a large crowd had been at- tracted by the announcement that Miss Maggie Dailey, an amateur aeronaut of this city, woul] make an ascension. The balloon was fully inflated, and Miss Dailey was sitting on the trapeze. The guy ropes were loosened. One of the ropes whirled into the crowd and the loop caught about Mrs. Roper. The balloon rose rapidly, carrying Mrs. Ko- per swinging head downward from the rope, and Miss Dailey sitting on the trapeze. Mrs. Roper gave one shriek of fright and then fainted. The y rope, which was fastened around re Roper’s leg, hung from the top of the balloon, and she swung by Miss Dailey, describing great ares in the air. Soon Miss Dailey was seen trying to grasp Mrs. Roper as the latter swung by her. She finally sueceeded in getting hold of Mrs. Roper’s hair. ‘Then it was seen that the balloon was descending. Miss Dailey, still holding Mrs. Roper by the hair, leaped from the balloon with her when it was a few feet from the ground. She succeeded in throwing off the rope when the balloon again soared jato the clouds and was lost to view. AMERICANS ASK AID IN CUBA. Insurgents Raid Estate and the State Department Receives a Protest. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 30.— According to a dispatch received at the state department today from one of the American owners of the Constancia es- tate near Cienfuegos, Cuban insurgents raided this property four days ago tak- ing a number of horses. The state de- partment did not make public the name of the American who sent the dispatch. This is the first protest received from Americans against molestation of their interests. Mr. Sleeper, the American charge at Havana, was cabled to demand of the Cu- ban government adequate protection for the Constancia estate and all American property similarly situated. Several Small Battles. HAVANA, Aug. 30. — A fight took place last night at Calabazar, Havana province, between fifty insurgents and fifteen rural guards, with the result that the latter retreated with one man wound- ed. An engagement between insurgents and government troops is reported to have occurred last night near Artamisa, province of Pinar del Rio, near the Havana border. The result is not known, Several exchanges of shots have been reported at various places westward of Guasajay, near the Havana border, in Pinar del Rio. As the place is poorly protected, reinforcements of fifty rural guards have been sent there. A portion of Pino Guerra’s force is stationed at Puerto Cortes, on the south coast, near San Juan de Martinez, which the government contemplates making a eentral point for sending men and sup- plies by water to Pinar del Rio, should communication by rail be interrupted. A train load of troops, which left Havana at 1 o'clock this morning, ar- rived safely at the city of Pinar. del Rio. They were fired upon near Taco Taco and encountered scattered shots elsewhere, but the soldiers were un- harmed. Expects to End Insurrection. Gov. Sobrdox, of the province of Pinar del Rio, who has just returned here from the United States, went to the pounce! capital on the troop train. -revious to his departure the governor said he believed that he could enter into negotiations with the insurgents and settle matters within a week. His statement was received with incredulity. BLOODY FIGHTS IN DOMINGO. Revolutionists and Troops Meet in Des- perate Battles. CAPE HAYTIEN, Aug. 30.—Advices from Santo Domingo say that after the insurgents had occupied Dajabon in the northern part of the country the govern- ment forces made an attack upon it and compelled the enemy to abandon the town, leaving Gen. Alejandro Marcadom and five men killed on the field. The government force lost eight killed. The revolutionists after leaving Dajabon marched on Jicaquita and further fight- ing followed, resulting in the revolution- ists being defeated with severe loss.

He said it would take several days before he will be able to make a definite statement. He spoke optimistically and said he did not think the failure would prove to be as bad as it at first looked. Regarding the condition of trusts in the custody of the company Mr. Earle said: “While 1 have not had an oppor- tunity to examine the books I have ey- ery reason to believe that all trust funds are intact.” Thus far there has been no hint that securities. deposited as_ collateral for loans were ne with by the late President eeue or that trust. funds were misapplied. The hopeful view of Mr. Earle is shared by oasis inter- ests generally. Bankers Raising Money. It was reported that an effort was be- ing made to help out the bank with the view to reopening it within forty-eight hours, but it was denied by the heads of the larger banks. Some directors, how- ever, have not abandoned hope for ac- complishing this object and have been using their personal influence with the object of rasing the required $3,500,000 to meet a simiar amount subscribed by the Clearing House association yesterday and thus make ap the deficiency of $7,- 000,000 in the bank’s funds.

Mr. Hipple was treasurer and custodian of these funds. The bank’s failure continues to be the sensation of the hour and is the general topic of discussion everywhere. A large but order:y crowd surrounds the building and except for an occasional outbreak from some excited individual is easily kept in check by the police. Receiver Earle this afternoon ap- peared in court and eed as receiver. He filed a bond of $1,000,000 and imme- diately went to the company’s office where he took charge and called the di- rectors into conference. Hipple Will Filed. The will of the late president, Frank K. Hipple, was filed today. The docu- ment was executed July 1, 1906, and is brief, being in Mr. Hipple’s handwriting. It reads: 1, Frank K. Hipple, do hereby give, be- -queath and devise all my estate, real,’ per- sonal and mixed, unto my son, Frank W. | Harton Hipple, his heirs and assigns, know: ing that he will give one-half thereof ‘wnata bis aunt Sallie, if she be Hving, and I here. by. appoint my son to be the’ executor of this will, The son qualified. The estate is val. ued as follows: Personal property, $100,000 and up- wards; real estate, $30,000. Young Hipple Mobbed. | The son had a rough experience today -when he emerged from the bank build- ing. A man in the crowd saw him and shouted: “There goes the son of the rogue who said he has no faith in men who smoke cigars and chew tobacco.” Immediately a mob took up the ery and made a rush for young Hipple. _ Fou a few moments it looked as though he would be roughly handled but the police succeeded in’ beating back the mob and | rescuing the frightened man trom its wrath. He was hustled into a carriage and taken away. | Banks Prepare for Runs. With the closmg of the doors of the | ‘Trust company yesterday the officers and directors of banks who attended the Clearing House association meeting went to their respective institutions and took immediate steps to fortify them against any possible run which might follow the failure of the Real Estate Trust com- -pany. As a result every banking house in Philadelphiz was prepared today to meet any demand made upon it. Although no institution other than the suspended company required assistance offers of aid were conveyed from bank to benk by the larger concerns. In each case they were declined although many banks wired their correspondents in oth- er cities to forward immediately any bai- ances due the local banks. As a conse- quence large sums of money arrived here today. a Young Hipple Sticks to His Desk. A distressing feature of the disclosures regarding President Hipple was the crushing blow that fell upon F. Wharton Hippie, son of the dead man. Lo, Hipple is employed as clerk De the Rea Estate Trust company, and all day yes- terday while rumors were flying about retlecting upon his father’s name he stuck manfully to his desk. The local stock market showed some recovery at the opening today from the drop which followed the announcement of the bauk’s failure yesterday. Lehigh, Valley railway, which fell $3° yesterday recovered a part of the loss and so did United Gas Improvement, Cambria Steel, Pennsylvania Railway and Read- ing railway.

I thought that if there was atything wrong in Mr. Hipple’s transactions the directors would have a chance to make up whatever, deficits there were.” His Action Voluntary. “Did any of the directors of the bank or members of the family request that the facts of the suicide be suppressed?” “No, sii, they did not. Any action taken by me was voluntary. “Several men prominent in legal af- fairs told me today that I did right in suppressing the facts until the directors of the bank had a chance to make an investigation.” Discovers the Suicide. The coroner also stated that when he arrived at the Hipple residence last Fri- day he was met by tke son of the de- ceased. The young man did not at first /say that his father had committed sui- cide. It did not take the coroner long to discover the cause of death. Hipple had placed the muzzzle of a 38-caliber re- volver in his mouth and shot himself. The ball passed upward and lodged in his brain. The shooting took place in | the bathroom, Foun. by His Wife. The suicide arose shortly before 6 o'clock and Mrs. Hipple was of the opinion that her husband was taking a bath. When he did not return to his room inside of half an hour, Mrs. Hip- ple became alarmed and made an_ in- vestigation. She found her husband ly- ing on the floor in the bath room. Mrs. | Hipple was not aware that her husband had killed himself until the arrival of the family physician. Open Hipplo’s Strong Box. Now that Receiver Earle has taken charge of the Real Estate Trust com- pany, it is expected that many mat- ters in the affairs of the company that are not clear to the directurs will soon be explained. Among the first things to be done will be the opening of the ‘strong box which belonged to the late | Mr. Hipple. No one, not even his fam- ‘ily, it-is said, knows what it contains, | but it is hoped by the receiver that its contents be such as to be of some aid | to the receiver in straightening out. the affairs of the company. Whether Mr. Hipple carried life insurance is not known to the directors of the company. and all information on that subject is refused by the family. Thinks Trust Funds Safe. ‘The receiver reigerated today to many anxious inquirers that on a hurried ex- amination of books and papers he feels quite certain that all securities and trust funds not belonging directly to the trust company itself. nro Intact, The company had charge of trust funds and estates yalued at more than $26,000,000 and the beneficiaries of many of these have been clamoring ever since the company closed its doors for late information as to the security of these trusts, Most of them now feel assured that President Hipple did not tamper with anything other than the money belong- ing to the company. May Operate Segal Properties, There is a plan to operate the numer- ous enterprises promoted by Adolph Se- gal, who borrowed more than $5,000,000 from President Hipple to carry on his | operations. There is a report eurrent | that Segal has a plan to help the com- pany and that he intends to offer what property he has to help the institution ‘out of his difficulties. This, however, | lacks confirmation. Segal will not talk on that proposition. - There is much oe in financial _cireles as to the identity of the persons other than Segal who borrowed money from the Real Estate Trust company. The directors of the company refuse 10 make the names public for the reasov that the transactions were regular and the loans amply protected.

President to Take Up Matter of Fill- ing Important Vacancies a Soon. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 30.—As scon as the naval maneuvers are over at Oyster Bay, it is expected that President Roosevelt will take up the matter of fill- ing important vacancies that are to occur in the army. Lieut. Gen. Corbin will retire Septem- ber 16, and it is already known that he is to be succeeded by Maj. Gen. MacAr- thur, now commanding the Pacific divi- sion. The vanacy in the list of major gen- erals will be filled by the promotion of Brig. Gen. Jesse M. Lee. There has been a warm contest over the succession to the brigadier general vacancy. Capt. John J. Pershing, military attache at the American embassy in Japan is among those mentioned in this connection. Changes in Pay Corps. Paymaster General Dodge will retire September 11. Col. Towar, who is 2 senior colonel of the pay corps, will waive his place in favor of Col. Sniflin for the paymaster generalship if assured that it would not prejudice his chances for the place when Col. Sniffin reaches the retiring stage. Col. Sniffin was pri- vate secretary to President Grant, who later appointed him major in the pay corps. Other officers have friends who have urged their selection. Train in Finger Prints. Forty enlisted men from various army posts throughout the eastern part of the Jnited States will be ordered to the war department in Washington in a short time for instruction in taking finger prints and in photography, preparatory to careasng out the new identification plans for the army. It is the purpose of the department to have at least one man at every post who is familiar with the finger print and photographic work. One squad of men has already been trained in the work. The men detailed to Wash- ington will remain here about a week. DELAY MAIL CAR IDEA, Salas American Federation of Labor Secures Postponement of Proposed Service for Milwaukee. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 30.— The activity of the American Federation of Labor is directed toward another field of government operations. Now it is sup- posed that organized labor shall oppose the constant and effective delivery ot United States mails during strikes. This proposition is squarely before Postmast- er Genera! Cortelyou in the form of a protest, originated by the Federated ‘Trades council of Milwaukee, against the utilization of street cars for the carriage of the mails, unless the contract shall contain a ¢lear snd specific provision that such arrangements shall cease to be binding in the event of a strike of raii- way employes. This interesting proposi- tion hit the postoffice officials hard. It may result iz an indefinite postpenement of the introduction of the street car mail service in Milwaukee. FIND BOMB ON SHIP. FIND BOMB ON S$ Infernal Machine is Discovered in Hold of Vessel at Philadelphia—Explodes When ‘thrown Into Water. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 30.— An infernal machine was discovered yes- terday in the hold of the steamer Eagle Point as the vessel lay in the Delaware river at the Philadelphia & Reading rail- road grain elevator. The steamer was saved from destruction by a fraction of a second,-as the bomb expleded as it touched the water after being thrown overboard. The Eagle Point is one of the vessels of the Philadelphia Trans- atlantie line and plies between this city and London. It is hinted that a former member of the crew, who felt that he had a grievance against Capt. Robert- son, placed the bomb on the vessel. oa = PROBE ROOSEVELT CLUB.

Se eee STOLYPIN ASKS CZAR TO CONFER DICTATOR POWERS ON THE CABINET. ——>——_— MUST HAVE FREE HAND. eg cts If Russian Court Reactionary Influences Continue Monarchy Will Be Overthrown. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 30.—It is asserted that Premier Stolypin and his colleagues are employing the newspapers which they control to fight the court camarilla. This, it is said, is the secret of the Novoe Vremya’s constant refer- ences during the last few days to the necessity for protecting the cabinet from the interference of perricious court in- fluences. M. Stolypin, in conversation with friends, is said to have declared that he is continually subjected to embarrass- ment, adding that he was convinced that the task which he had set himself was impossible unless the Emperor gaye him an absolutely free hand, in other words, confgrred upon the cac.2°t a practical Gictavorslitp, Dictatorship for Cabinet. An intimation comes from a_ high source that the premier broached the subject last night at the first audience which he had with the Emperor since the tragedy of August 25 when the ex- plosion of a bomb at thy premier’s resi- dence caused the loss of over thirty lives. In the above mentioned conversation with friends the premier is alleged to have said that history seemed to be re- peating itself, the situation closely. re- sembles the closing days of the reign of Alexander IL, Reactionary Spirit Growing. The reactionary spirit was growipg rapidly. Nevertheless he considered it vital that the government should not take a reactionary path. If it did not do so he felt confident the measure which the cabinet projected would result in a majority of moderates being elected to Parliament as against the extremists on the left, whose aim was to overthrow the monarchy and es- tablish a republic.

( ERVANA, Russia, Aug. 30.—The first general conference of Armenians opened today at the Ethemiadzine monastery, which is the seat of the Armenian Cath- olic patriarch. The principal subject for discussion is the question of the reor- ganization of the schools in consequence of the restoration of the Armenian echureh property by the Russian govern- ment, but the most important action of the congress is likely to be in connection with measures for ending the race war between the Armenians and Tartars. CALLS PACKERS TO TIME. Must Repack All Lard Packages So That Public Is Not Given Short Weight. CHICAGO, IIL, Aug. 30.—City Sealer Joseph Grein today issued an ultimatum to the packers at the stock yards, butter factories and wholesale and retail deal- ers in lard and butter, declaring that the public must be given full weight in all packages of lard and butter, or the city will prosecute them in hundreds of cases in which it has secured evidence against them. The ordinance calls for a fine of $100, on every package of lard or butter in which the weights are short. The dealers and makers of lard and but- ter will be given until next Tuesday to repack all the packages in their ‘pos- session. If they are not repacked by that time he will proceed against ‘the dealers. The firms accused by the city sealer are: ARMOUR & CO. NELSON MORRIS & CO. Soe PROVISION COM- OMAHA PACKING COMPANY.

ING CANAL CEMENT. BUYING CANAL C Foreigners May Get Big Contract Unless Shipping Facilities Improve So Americans Can Compete. WASHINGTON, D. CG. Aug. 30. Chief Engineer Stevens, in computing che amount of cement to be necessary for the Panama canal. said that to as- semble the amount needed would require 125 carloads a day for two years. This would amount to 91,250 carloads. It is uot unlikely that the greater part of this contract may be given to foreign dealers, The Association of Cement Manufac- turers of the United States, however, has shown considerable activity in get- ting more advantageous shipping facili- ties to the isthmus and may therefore be prepared to compete with foreign ce- ment.

"I know of the bravery and character of the Negro soldier. He saved my life at Santiago, and I have had occasion to say so in many articles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth cavalry came rushing up the hill carrying everything before them. The Negro soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when it is needed most. In the Civil war he came 400,000 strong, and I believe he saved the Union."—President Roosevelt. The "Princess" Figure. Two years ago, when fashion's votaries began to whisper of the coming of the "princess" styles, fashionable women shook their heads. The modern figure, they said, would never stand the test of the classic "princess" outlines. But the "princess" gown made its way. All this time, however, the modiste were only paving the way for the pure and unadulterated "princess" gown, and now all the best dressed women in society are garbed "a la princess," soft, clinging folds of chiffon, velvet, trimmed with sable or chinchilla for outdoor, and pearl white satin, or even silver tissue for the evening. If the "princess" gown is to look either smart or picturesque it demands a perfect figure, with round, full curves and lines, and curiously enough, all the wearers of the new style appear to have developed the "princess" figure. "We make the figure as well as the gown," was the matter of fact explanation put forward by a Bond street dressmaker yesterday. And the statement is literally true. Horsehair, neatly padded and quilted is the secret of the perfect figure under the fashionable "princess" gown. A breastplate of horsehair makes up for the thin bust. The shoulders and hips are thickly padded with the same material. Even the sleeves are moulded into beautifully rounded curves over a couple of thicknesses of wadding.—London Mail. Valentine Is Libelous. When Judge Staake of Philadelphia recently handed down an opinion sustaining the indictment of the grand jury charging Anna Applegate with criminal libel he did something that will be hailed with joy by many persons whose sensitive natures are tortured yearly by the receipt from their enemies of comic valentines. Judge Staake, in his opinion, thus describes the alleged libelous valentine sent by the defendant: "The valentine contained the picture of a scroll, a pair of scales, a book and a woman, painted in colors, with the following inscription on them: "'To my valentine. Trouble-maker. Scandal. Lies. Other people's business. Slander. The woman with a mischievous tongue.'" The valentine was sent by the defendant to her sister-in-law, Laura Mitchell, last February. Judge Staake holds that it is a common law offense, punishable by fine or imprisonment, to write and publish defamatory words of any living person or exhibit any picture or effigy defamatory to him or her. The penalty for conviction is a fine of not more than $500 and imprisonment of not more than one year. Advertise in Your Home Paper --- SOLDIERS AT HOME THEY TELL SOME INTERESTING ANECDOTES OF THE WAR. How the Boys of Both Armies Whiled Away Life in Camp-Foraging Experiences, Tiresome Marches-Thrilling Scenes on the Battlefield. "General Sheridan," said the Captain, "once upon a time threw off his coat to trounce me. This was in January, 1864, after Longstreet's retreat from Knoxville, and we were operating in the vicinity of Strawberry Plains and along the French Broad river. Longstreet was supposed to be not far away, and a strict watch was kept on the crossings. Our pickets were across the river, with reserves on our own side, and boats were held on both sides for emergencies. "Sheridan was out reconnoitering, attended by a single staff officer, and both wore the ordinary soldier overcoats, without any marks of rank. Sheridan, it appeared later, did not care to have it known that he was reconnoitering on his own hook, and wanted to cross the river incog., as it were. He sent his aid down to the river, supposing that he could secure a boat without difficulty. But the officer could find none; because we had them all at our posts. When he came to us he demanded our boat, but I told him bluntly that he could not have it, and explained that orders were very strict against anyone crossing the river. "He climbed up the bank, and reported to Sheridan that he had found a boat, but the young man in charge would not let him have it. Thereupon Sheridan came down himself and demanded the boat. I told him he couldn't have it, unless Sheridan so ordered. He replied, testily, 'Hell, man, I am General Sheridan, and I am going to take the boat.' I retorted: 'I don't know whether you are Sheridan or not, but you can't have the boat.' "This put him in a rage, and, tearing open his overcoat and pulling at the sleeves to get it off, he swore he would lick me, if he died the next minute. I had never seen Sheridan on foot, and not often on horseback, and it did not seem possible that this short man in an ill-fitting overcoat could be a General. But, as the overcoat came off, I saw his shoulder straps and recognized the figure, and, saluting, said: 'Never mind the licking. General, you can have the boat.' "In a minute Sheridan was every inch a General, and explained that it was desirable that nothing be said about his presence on the other side of the river, as he had in mind a very important project. He went across the river, looked the ground over for himself, and in a few days undertook the construction of a bridge that was made entirely of army wagons. This was in midwinter, and his idea was that if a bridge could be constructed the Fourth corps could be moved to the south side of the river without exposing the men to the hardships of wading or fording. "When Sheridan had placed his quota of wagons in the river the other divisions failed to send their wagons. Realizing the importance of finishing the bridge at once, Sheridan put into the river every available wagon in the division, but scarcely had he done so and sent one brigade across, when it was reported that Longstreet was advancing from Dandridge, and Sheridan was ordered to retire at once. He explained that as all his transportation was in the river he could not move without sacrificing his wagons, and he took the responsibility of remaining in position until every wagon was out of the river. Probably the men of his division never worked harder than on that occasion, and, after all, we reached the point of concentration as soon as the other divisions. "All the men liked Sheridan, and particularly just about that time. We had moved up from Chattanooga short on clothing and not prepared for a winter campaign. Sheridan at once ordered up supplies of clothing for his division. General Foster, in command at Knoxville, so the story went, stopped the train and distributed the clothing pro rata among all the divisions, so that our own division got only a small part of what was intended for it. This irritated Sheridan exceedingly, but he could not dispute the fairness of the distribution. He immediately ordered another trainload of clothing from Chattanooga, and, when it was about to pass through Knoxville, he had bales of hay and forage thrown into the wagons, and his division quartermaster sneaked it through Knoxville as a forage train, and at last we got our clothing. This was talked about a good deal in the division, and Sheridan was very popular." "It is a wonder to me," said the Sergeant, "that the campaign or siege of Knoxville is not more talked about among the boys. It was from first to last a picturesque affair, and the men who took part in the siege must have hundreds of good stories of personal adventure and odd experience. The people up on the French Broad were devoted Unionists, and we would have starved to death at Knoxville if they had not managed to float down provisions to us in all sorts of odd forms and shapes. "Shortly after the war, when the town was filling up with ex-Confederates, I met a tall, straight fellow on the streets here in Chicago, who, after looking me over as I stood talking with a friend, walked up to me, looked down at my shoes, and said, in a jocular way, 'Will you swap?' I was about to resent the remark as an impertinence, when something in the face brought up an old memory and recalled an incident that occurred when I was a prisoner with Longstreet's army in the retreat from Knoxville. "It was a hard time for all of us. Many of Longstreet's men were shoeless, and it is no exaggeration to say that you could trace the line of march of the barefoot contingent by the blood left on the ground from lacerated feet. The prisoners were better shod, and this led to a good deal of discussion as to our rights to our own shoes. Finally it was reported in the division that Longstreet had said that, while he would not permit any of his men to confiscate the shoes of the prisoners, any man might swap shoes with a prisoner. "Now, as most of the rebs had ragged shoes and others none at all, the advantages of swapping were all on one side. One morning as I was tying my own shoes and congratulating myself that I was still in good condition to march, a tall, jolly-looking reb came up, and, putting out his foot that was tied up in rough cowhide moccasins, said: 'Swap?' We discussed the question in a good-humored way, but he finally insisted that it was Longstreet's orders that I swap, and to save trouble he took my shoes and I took his clumsy moccasins. Before the day was over most of our men had been compelled to swap shoes, and the fact that they did so without protest insured us better treatment from both men and officers. "The man who said swap to me in Chicago was the fellow that borrowed my shoes off to the east of Knoxville in December, 1863, and a short time after our meeting he told the story to some of my friends in a way to have them receive the impression that I had voluntarily done him a great favor. In a trip through the South I met another one of Longstreet's men who had been in the shoe-swapping business, and he told me the story in a way to put the credit of swapping all on our own fellows, but all the same it was very serious business to us in that mid-winter campaign."—Chicago Inter Ocean. The Cavalry Charge. With bray of the trumpet And roll of the drum And keen ring of bugle The cavalry come. Sharp clank the steel scabbards, The bridle-chains ring, And foam from red nostrils The wild chargers fling. Tramp! tramp! o'er the greensward That quivers below, Scarce held by the curb-bit The fierce horses go! And the grim-visaged Colonel, With ear-rending shout, Peals forth to the squadrons The order—"Trot out!" One hand on the saber And one on the rein, The troopers move forward In line on the plain. As rings the word "Gallop!" The steel scabbards clank, And each rowel is pressed To a horse's hot flank; And swift is their rush As the wild torrent's flow When it pours from the crag On the valley below. "Charge!" thunders the leader; Like shaft from the bow Each mad horse is hurled On the wavering foe. A thousand bright sabers Are gleaming in air; A thousand dark horses Are dashed on the square. Resistless and reckless Of aught may betide, Like demons not mortals, The wild troopers ride. Cut right! and cut left!— For the parry who needs? The bayouets shiver Like wind-shattered reeds. Vain, vain the red volley That bursts from the square The random-shot bullets Are wasted in air. Triumphant, remorseless Unerring as death No saber that's stainless Returns to its sheath. The wounds that are dealt By that murderous steel Will never yield case For the Surgeon to heal. Hurrah! they are broken— Hurrah, boys, they fly— None linger save those Who but linger to die. Rein up your hot horses And call in your men— The trumpet sounds "Rally To color" again. Some saddles are empty, Some comrades are slain, And some noble horses Lie stark on the plain— But war's a chance game, boys, And weeping is vain. —Francis A. Durivage. What Would Early Say. While General Wheeler was in Montgomery, an old Confederate cavalryman, who fought under General Wheeler in the Civil War, met him in the Capitol, where the governor of the State was entertaining President McKinley. The Alabamian looked General Wheeler over for a few moments, feasting his eyes on the general's new uniform. At last, scratching his head, he said slowly: "General Wheeler, what in h—I do you think Jubal Early will say when he sees you walking into heaven in a blue uniform?" It was stated recently at a public hearing in Australia that £1,000,000 worth of rabbits were shipped to England every year; that the rabbit, as a commercial commodity, was "only in its infancy," and that the trade would probably grow to £5,000,000 a year. A man does not break a record when he beats time on a bass drum. A Machine That Picks Cotton A cotton picking machine has been patented by John Hervey and Charles Hervey, his son, of this city. The principle of the machine is that of the vacuum or the pneumatic tube. The cotton bolls are sucked through the tube and loaded directly into a wagon. The tube that receives the cotton reminds one of nothing so much as the tail of a kangaroo. The tube is a piece of large sized hose made of a fine grade of rubber covered with wire netting. There is a nozzle on the end of the tube. This nozzle is lined with a series of fins or fingers. The operator holds the nozzle within a new inches of the cotton bolls. Suction causes the boll to be drawn into the nozzle, where the fins catch and hold it for the fraction of a second until the cotton is gently pulled away from the boll. The machine is designed to be fastened to a platform on the rear end of a wagon. The machine rests on an iron stand about four feet high. It consists of a specially made vacuum fan. It can be operated by a small gasoline motor or by hand power, one man turning a crank and another directing the nozzle. A number of successful tests have been made with the machine. Five acres of cotton were picked near Elk City, Okla., this year by one of the machines in competition with fifteen negroes picking by hand. The machine picked five acres at a cost of 63 cents an acre, against $1.69 an acre for the hand picking—Kansas City Star. Bonfire After Camp Meeting. A unique bonfire marked the close of the camp meeting services at South Seaville, near Ocean City, N.J. A. M. Woolston, propretor of a general store at Fishing Creek, where he is a member and official of the church, received "new light" upon the use of tobacco during the services. He sent word to his wife, who was caring for the store, to hang out the sign: "No more tobacco sold here." Then Woolston sent for the entire stock of tobacco and cigars in his store, had it piled in a heap, saturated with kerosene, and he touched it with a match. Rev. E. A. Wells of Erma led the campers in singing "The Dearest Idol of My Heart," while the lovers of the weed stood around the roaring blaze, muttering "What an awful waste." The Grateful Magpie. A magpie belonging to a lady in Somersetshire has been in the habit of receiving dainty mouthfuls from the mouth of his mistress, perching on her shoulder and then inserting his beak between her lips. The other day he took up his customary perch, but instead of seeking a tit-bit from his mistress, the grateful bird dropped a plump caterpillar into her mouth.—London Evening Standard and St. James Gazette.

Text.—"All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. All things are full of labor; man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing nor the ear filled with hearing." —Eccl. 1:7. 8. As far as human nature, human passion and sin, human aspirations and disappointments, the human wrestling with problems whose solution eternally baffles the mind, are concerned "there is no new thing under the sun." And it need not astonish us to find the doleful wall of the weariness of existence echoing to us from a distant age. The writer of Ecclesiastes, which may be taken as the classic of pessimism, was struck with the unutterable monotony of life, the awful regularity and terrible sameness of things weighed heavy on his heart. To his tired brain all is vanity; life has little joy, and death no consolation—all go into one place, all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. "Let us eat, drink, and be merry, for to-morrow we die," is the motto he will take for his life, but it is only that he may fling away from it the next instant, with the despairing cry that this also is vanity. The statement that life is a melancholy monotony, unutterably wearying in its endless repetition, is absolutely false. No two lives are alike, every existence is different. Existence may be rich in variety, in interest, in happiness, and in earnest purpose. It all depends on the eyes with which you look upon it. If you look out for all weariness and repetition, you will find abundance of it. "I pity the man," says Heine, "who can go from Dan to Beersheba and say that all is barren, and so it is, and so is all the world to him who will not cultivate the fruits it offers." The men who do the world's work, who try to right the wrong, straighten the crooked, raise the fallen, and improve the world, have no time in which to indulge in the luxury of the blues. They always find too much to do in the world, and in doing something for others they find a happiness that nothing else can bestow. A selfish egoism that seems its highest gratification in the service of self defeats its own end in the very pursuit of that which it seeks, and finally engulphs itself in a veritable quagmire of despair and wretchedness. Let us do all the good we can while we are here on earth, and then we shall not need to seek after happiness. It will come to us unsought. Dove like, it will flutter down upon us with white wings of Divine benediction, to abide in our hearts for evermore. ANNOYANCES. By.Rev. H. W. Bolton, D. D. Text.—"And when the fowls came upon the carcasses Abram drove them away."—Genesis 15:11. There are a great many valuable lessons gathered into little nuggets, fossils and sentences, many of which go undisturbed for ages; then are caught up, opened and made to appear in new robes, with new gifts. The event, recorded by the words of my text, appears from out of the distance, across the sea of Time, among a cluster of names and deeds so insignificant as not to interest the casual reader; he passes by the whole story; yet it contains some of the best suggestions of Old Testament record. It is a note from the fort of universal worship. An old Greek historian once said: "In all my travels and reading, I have never found a people without priests, altars, and places for worship. I have found them without property or dwellings, literature or art, or even a knowledge of history, but even then they had some system of worship." So we find in this record a form of worship. Abraham, who had received many favors at the hand of God, sought an interview that he might give thanks for all kindnesses and on being told if he would build an altar and select birds and beasts and a place on which to offer them, God would meet him. He did as he was told and then sat down to watch his offering lest it be polluted by the carnivorous birds. In this we note our Father's interest in the details of worship; He would that all men have a place of worship- a specific place for the offering of his service, whither he may gather the children from the storm. This renders every item of service, in God's house, of sufficient importance to command the attention of all who are present. Anything worth doing is worth doing well, especially where it is of divine appointment. We recognize this law in minor details. In church you try to forget that you promised to meet Jones at ten o'clock Monday morning for a sail or ride, but again and again you have gone over the scene, anticipating all the pleasures of the occasion. Even while the minister was praying or the choir was singing, your thought was busy about other people's business and A MAN. By Rev. Henry Drummond, D. D. Text: Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it."—Jeremiah v: 1. Two things are needed to make a man: practice and principle—principle sought out with a view to practice, practice conformed to principle, and both according to what is right and true; both are morally, mutually helpful, but are necessary. You may be as strong as a lion, fleet as a deer, brave as a bulldog, beautiful as a gazelle, clever as Satan, but unless you seek the truth and do the right first and foremost in the face of day, you have not yet come up to the mark of a man. Is that what the world says and thinks? Oh, no. Its heroes, perhaps yours, are too often not the morally good, but daring adventurers, successful soldiers, lithe athletes, quick-witted speculators, fortune-making merchants, subtle-tongued declaimers, gifted writers, skilful artists, politic statesmen, wearers of titles, and so on. These are the men that too often the world takes its praises and prizes to, heedless of character and principles. "If you can find a man, I will pardon Jerusalem." What forbearance is there in God, how unwilling is he to destroy. You know the Greek story. It is told regarding Dlogenes that on one occasion he went through the streets of Athens in open day with a lighted lantern and flashing it into the faces of the passers by, and when he was asked what he meant, he said that he was looking for a man. That was the sneering, contemptuous conduct of an immoral sinner, who wished just in this way to show his own insolent contempt for its citizens. But the injunction here springs out of a holy, loving desire that a man might be found for whose sake calamity might be turned away from the rest. "I sought to find a man that would make up the hedge and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I would not destroy it, but I found none; therefore I poured out mine indignation upon them, and consumed them in the fire of My wrath; their own way have I recompensed upon their head, saith the Lord God." We must not forget that in regard to the salvation of the world, and of our own souls, we owe everything to the One Man, Christ Jesus, and that it is for His sake alone that we can obtain a blessing, and salvation, and pardon. Need I remind you that it is on His account, at the back of all, that we have any goodness and grace? O blessed be God, that once there dwelt among sinners a Man who knew all truth and fulfilled all righteousness, and of whom God said: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him." Short Meter Sermons. Charity for revenue is a dead loss. The lust of money kills the love of men. There is no gaining love without giving it. No man can do great work who can not wait. No man is utterly lost so long as any one loves him. Success is sure to him who does not fear to face failure. Patience punctures many a portentous-looking obstacle. A merry heart kills more microbes than any medicine. Putting pleasure first is a sure way of postponing it. There can be no reverence where there is no respect. The religion you can keep to yourself is not worth giving away. A good many are trying to wash out the slums with teardrops. Some winter is always sent to those who have a great work to do. When a man boasts of his humility you can depend on his hypocrisy. Sins that make you lose your head have the same effect on the heart. Some men expect to unload their own sins by confessing those of others. If criticism began where charity is said to it would seldom go any farther. Heaven regards the heart that comes to the altar more than the gift it leaves there. People who stir up strife generally tumble into it when it is fairly boiling over. It takes more faith to face your foes than it does to pray for the help of heavenly hosts. It will not do us much good in heaven to think of the things we had thought of doing here. HOUSEHOLD TALKS This makes an ornamental dish. Lard a tender piece of beef with strips of pork and raw ham, then stew it down very slowly in a richly seasoned stock for four or five hours. After taking it from the stove allow it to cool over night in its liquor. Then drain and trim it carefully before serving. The streaks of ham and pork running through it are said to add to its appearance. There are many other cold-dressed meats that are excellent for luncheons, suppers and picnics, such as veal loaf, braized or jellied, tongues and potted meats of various kinds, for which the rules have all been printed in these columns. Beefsteak Pie. Cut cold beefsteak In small pieces, free it from bone, gristle, and some of the fat, cover with boiling water, add one small onion, and stew slowly until tender. Put the meat in a deep dish, and if there be but little meat, add an equal quantity of sliced potato and half as much strained tomato. Season the liquor with salt and pepper, and thicken it slightly with flour wet in cold water. Pour it over the meat. Cover with a crust made like baking powder biscuit, press it close to the edge of the dish, make a gash in the center, and bake slowly about half an hour; or cover with mashed and seasoned potato, brush with beaten egg, and bake until brown. Canned Blueberries. Pick over the berries with care, then put three quarts of them in a granite or porcelain kettle, with two teacupfuls of granulated sugar, and two-thirds of a cup of water to prevent burning. Let them boil from five to seven minutes, or until they have lost their berry look. This amount should fill two quart cans, but if it should fall a trifle short, hot water could be added to fill up the last can. This rule applies also to blackberries, whortleberries or raspberries. Strawberries require more sugar. Canned Strawberries. Canned Strawberries. Hull, and wash if necessary, nice, fresh strawberries. To every quart of the berries, take one coffeecupful of granulated sugar. Put the fruit on to boil in a granite kettle, with a tablespoonful of water; as soon as it boils, add the sugar and cook for eight minutes, stirring it gently. One quart of berries will only fill one pint can. They should be kept in a dark place, and only the best of fruit used. Maple Syrup Substitute. All housewives know how difficult it is to find pure maple syrup in the market. Failing the genuine Vermont article, here is a substitute that would deceive the elect: Dissolve 10 pounds of dark brown sugar in hot water. When all dissolved add one-half ounce maple essence and color with a little burnt sugar. This may be procured at any drug store.—Exchange. Spiced Cherries. Nine pounds of fruit, one pound of sugar, one pint of cider vinegar, one half ounce of cinnamon bark, one-half ounce of whole cloves. Let the syrup come to a boil before putting in the fruit; cook the fruit until the skins break; then take out the fruit and boil the syrup down until thick; pour over the fruit hot. Put up in jelly tumblers or glass jars. Date Biscuits. Make a bread sponge at night, and in the morning, when well risen, take a pint of the sponge, add to it two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and graham flour enough to make a stiff batter. Add, lastly, a cupful of dates that have been stoned. Make into small biscuits; let them rise in the pan and bake. Ideal Tomatoes. A dainty dish may be made of stewed tomatoes, which are often so unappetizingly served, by adding just a suspicion of dried bread crumbs to the seasoning, letting them simmer slowly twenty or thirty minutes and then whipping them with a potato masher until they are smooth. Helpful Hint. Bananas fried in the fat remaining in the pan after sausages have been fried make a very nice dish to serve with the sausages. In putting away knives and other steel instruments oil them slightly and wrap them in tissue paper. This will prevent their rusting. To remove stains from white enamel ware put a small piece of potash in the utensil, fill it with water and let it stand for a short time. Then pour out the water, wash and all the stains will disappear. Tablecloths that have become too much worn for further use may be turned into breadcloths and silver polishers. For either purpose they are more satisfactory than anything else. If you are ironing with the patent handle irons and using a gas range, it is a good idea to put a tin cover on top of the iron as it sits on the fire. The cover keeps the heat from escaping and your iron with its help will get hot much quicker. On a good-sized blaze two irons of this kind covered with a tin or copper cover will heat as soon as one. THE characteristics that have made Blatz Beers worldfamed are an invariable feature of each brand. Whether your dealer offers you Blatz "Wiener," "Private Stock," "Export" or "Muenchener," you will be sure of a beer that's brewed for quality along either Bohemian or Bavarian lines by the Blatz Process. And it's this very process that's the answer to the much talked of Blatz Character—that "peculiarly good taste." All of the fundamental and essential elements of honest brewing are only the "setting" on which is built Blatz Individuality.

DOCTOR IS ASPHYXIATED. WILLIAM R. CHEEVER, NOTED SUR GEON OF KENOSHA, IS KILLED BY ESCAPING GAS. THREE OVERCOME BY GAS. Whole House Filled with Gas from an Open Heater—Mrs. Cheever May Not Recover. KENOSHA, Wis., Aug. 30.—[Special.]—Dr. William R. Cheever, one of the best known physicians of the city, was found asphyiated at his home on Exchange street at 8 o'clock this morning. Mrs. Cheever, the widow, and Dr. Homer Cheever, a brother, had also been overcome by the gas.

Startling Charges Made Against Fred Kull, Who Is Managing Cooper's Campaign. JANESVILLE, Wis., Aug. 30.—[Special.]—Another phase of the opposition to the return of Congressman H. A.

Norway Will Adopt Old Peasant Dialect and Make It the Official Language. HUDSON, Wis., Aug. 29.—[Special.]—Rev. N. L. Blomholm of Hudson, who has just returned from Norway, where he spent the summer, says that a law will soon be passed in that country compelling all officeholders to be able to speak the peasant dialect of Norway. For a long time there has been a struggle in the fatherland to drive out the Danish, which became the official language and the polite speech during the period preceding 1814, when Norway was under the Danish royal house. Since then most of the books published by Norwegian authors have been in the Danish language, and nearly all of the newspapers have used the same language. Some fifty years ago Ivar Aasen, the philologist, and Aasmund Olafsen Vinje, the poet, began a movement to substitute the peasant dialect for the Danish as the literary language of the country, but their efforts were only partially successful. Ibsen, Bjornson. Jonas Lie, Alexander Kjelland, the leading writers of Norway during the last generation, clung to the Danish tongue, though Bjornson and Ibsen modified it somewhat, giving it a Norwegian flavor. The work of Aasen and Vinje in behalf of the peasant speech was continued by Arne Garborg, Peter Sivle and others of lessee note as writers, but the opposition of Ibsen and Bjornson to their programme was too strong to overcome. Now, when Norway has become independent, when Ibsen is dead, when Kjelland is dead, when Bjornson is growing old and feeble, the tide seems to have turned, and as soon as the law is passed compelling all candidates for office to pass an examination such as Rev. Blomholm speaks of, the dialect speech will become not only the official language, but also the literary language. PASTOR ESCAPES DEATH. Friends of the Cloth Suspect Him for a Burglar.

It was in patches all over my body. I used three cakes of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Ointment, and two bottles of Resolvent. In thirty days I was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the center a spot about the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without removing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. I suffered intense itching, worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable. W. M. Chidester, Hutchinson, Kan., April 20, 1905."

Shortly after I felt so badly that I submitted to a thorough examination by a physician and was told that I had a tumor and would have to undergo an operation. "Soon after I read one of your advertisements and decided to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. After taking five bottles as directed the tumor is entirely gone. I have been examined by a physician and he says I have no signs of a tumor now. It has also brought my periods around once more, and I am entirely well."—Fannie D.

GREEN'S SONS, Box U, Atlanta, Ga --- When the Jury Disagreed "Some years ago, while I was residing at Visalla," remarked Attorney William H. Alford, "I was called to Hanford to defend a petty offender in a justice's court. The defendant had demanded a jury trial, and we put in half a day trying to get a jury, only to find out at the end of that time that we had one lone juror in the jury box. "Well, I'm willing to try the case with one juror,' said the attorney for the prosecution. "So am I." I declared. "And we proceeded with the trial. The arguments were howlingly funny, for the reason that the attorney for the prosecution persisted in addressing the lone juror as 'gentlemen of the jury,' and I succeeded in swelling the jury with a feeling of pride and satisfaction by some timely comment on the self-evident honesty, intelligence and integrity of the body. I really thought I had that lone juror won. Then the constable led him out to the jury room, where he might deliberate with himself. In twenty minutes the jury returned with the announcement that no agreement could be reached. "The jury disagrees," was the announcement, when the court asked the lone juryman if he had arrived at a verdict. 'You see, it's like this,' he went on to explain. 'When I consider the testimony of one side I want to find the defendant guilty, and when I consider the testimony of the other witnesses I want to discharge him. I can't agree with myself.' "And the jury was discharged."—San Francisco Chronicle. The University of Notre Dame, it appears, has some features that cannot be duplicated in any other school. It is one of the old, well-established colleges, with settled traditions reaching back sixty-four years, with a distinguished staff of professors and excellent library and laboratory equipment. Its discipline is of the paternal kind—strong without being oppressive; and as it embraces in its scope the grammar school, high school, and college work, its appeal is as broad as it is potent. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the famous Indiana University, however, is the fact that it has arrived at its present marvelous development absolutely without endowment.

An extraordinary adventure in a bedroom with a panther is told by Lieut.-Col. Rundle, the commander of the Fifth brigade of the Royal Field artillery at Jubbulpore. One afternoon Mrs. Rundle came out of a portion of the bungalow that was seldom used and said she had seen the tail of a panther protruding from behind a large coil of matting in one of the rooms. Col. Rundle supposed that the animal was a tame panther which he knew one of his non-coms owned and sent for a brother officer to assist in dispatching it. Opening the door enough to insert his rifle barrel, he fired and wounded the beast. The door swung open as the wounded beast bounded against it. It then sprang at Col. Rundle, missing him by about a foot, and bolted. Col. Rundle, with Lieut. Macan, reconnoitered each room in turn. Eventually the panther was found in a spare room hiding behind a coil of matting. There was a window to this room about 14 feet from the ground, and Col. Rundle procured a ladder, but before he could get his rifle up the panther had seen him and sprang through the doorway. Lieut. Macan fired three shots, but neither proved fatal, and the panther bolted out of the house and across the tennis court into the R. A. mess compound. Here it gave chase to an inquisitive sweeper, but was too badly wounded to do more than make a clutch or two at the man's clothes. Finally it darted into an outhouse, where it was dispatched.—Allahabad Pioneer. To Make Ottawa a District. There is reason to believe that the proposal to make Ottawa, as the Canadian capital, a national district similar to that of Washington is assuming a definite and serious shape, and there is strong probability that the residents of the city and the people of the Dominion will ere long be called upon to make a pronouncement on the question.—Ottawa Free Press.

No Medicine So Beneficial to Brain and Nerves. Lying awake nights makes it hard to keep awake and do things in daytime. To take "tonics and stimulants" under such circumstances is like setting the house on fire to see if you can put it out. The right kind of food promotes refreshing sleep at night and a wide awake individual during the day. A lady changed from her old way of eating to Grape-Nuts, and says: "For about three years I had been a great sufferer from indigestion. After trying several kinds of medicine, the doctor would ask me to drop off potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in a few days that craving, gnawing feeling would start up, and I would vomit everything I ate and drank. "When I started on Grape-Nuts, vomiting stopped, and the bloating feeling which was so distressing disappeared entirely. "My mother was very much bothered with diarrhea before commencing the Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was so weak she could not digest her food. Since using Grape-Nuts she is well, and says she don't think she could live without it. "It is a great brain restorer and nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed after a supper of Grape-Nuts as in the old days when I could not realize what they meant by a 'bad stomach.' There is no medicine so beneficial to nerves and brain as a good night's sleep, such as you can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason." THEOCRITUS ON AGRADINA. The spacious cities hummed with toil; The monarch reared his towers to the skies; Men delyed the fruitful soil And studied to be wise. Along the highway's rocky coll The mailed legions rang; Smiling unheeded mid the moil The Poet sang. The glittering cities, long are heaps; The starry towers lie level with the plain; The desert serpent sleeps Where soared the marble fane. The stealthy, bead-eyed lizard creeps Where gleamed the Tyrant's throne, That grandeur dark Oblivion steeps, The song sings on. -Thomas Nelson Page in the Atlantic. TWO MEETING A railway station—filled with a crowd of folk, some laughing, some crying, some pretending—some not. Victoria—at 11 o'clock, and the boat train for Dover. "Good-by, Jim, take care of yourself!" The tall girl gathered her worn cloak closer round her—the lady who held the door handle of the next compartment, a first class, was robed in sables. "I wish I were coming, too!" "So do I, old lady." A handsome man bent forward on the seat of the third-class carriage, and his hand closed over her slim ungloved fingers with a tender pressure. His blue eyes looked most suspiciously moist—but what of that? It is not every one who can afford to be callous. "It seems such a long time—three years, Jim!" the girl said again, and there was a break in her voice. "And it's such a chance, a mere—" "A mere chance—yes," the man echoed; "but we must just trust to chance, Monica: it's the only thing to be done, dear. Keep up a good heart, because I shall be coming back in three years' time. Think of that, little one. Three years, perhaps today, this very day, you may be standing at this very station, waiting for my train to come in; and I shall dash out—I shall be hungering for the sight and feel of you, darling, and you will throw your arms around my neck—" "Jim!" the tears so bravely withheld up till now overflowed at last, and fell on to the neat but worn cloak. The lady in the furs turned at the sound of the pain-filled tones, and her own voice grew a little husky as the trains steamed off. "Good-bye, Monica, my darling!" A moment later, Monica Ward was standing on an empty platform, with an empty, aching heart. A hand touched her shoulder. "Can I take oyu anywhere?" a pleasant, sympathetic voice said. It was the lady in furs. "I always think the first few moments are the worst—afterward—" "Afterward," repeated Monica in duil tones. "Oh! afterward one gets accustomed to it," returned the other lightly, "and one wonders why one felt so much. Come, will you let me just drop you anywhere?" It seemed all one to Monica Ward what she did, and where she went. She nodded, and tried to smile. "Thank you," she said, "it is very good of you to trouble yourself about a stranger—" "After all—we are sisters," the other said a little dryly. "Come!" And for the next half hour Monica bowled along in the lady's carriage, behind a pair of prancing chestnut horses. She did not remember till she stood once more in the little room, which looked so deserted now that Jim had gone, that she had never found out the name of her friend in need. And the days slipped into weeks and the weeks into months, and all the while Jim Ward, in a distant country, was trying to court the fortune which had failed to smile on him in England. "It's due now, miss, quite due, and I don't think it's more than a few minutes late." Monica Ward, tall and slim, with the pretty color coming and going in her soft cheeks, stood once more on the platform awaiting the train. Suddenly there was a noise—a puffing, panting sound, and the train was in. Monica's heart beat fast, and she was so excited that she could hardly see anything in front of her. Jim was coming home—home— Was this Jim?—this man coming toward her with Jim's face, and yet not his face—with a rolling gait and unsteady eyes? She shuddered; her color forsook her cheeks, her eyes looked frightened—her feet shook so that she could hardly stand. After all, as the other woman had said, one gets acustomed to it. Better—far better—if he had stayed away altogether than return to her like this! Involuntarily she took a step backward; the advancing man noticed it and her. "My pretty dear!" he cried thickly—and Monica was just recoiling in horror when a man laid his arm on hers. "Monica!" a well-known voice said. She turned—Jim, the real Jim, was standing behind her smiling and holding out his hands. "Monica!" he cried, "surely you haven't forgotten me?" And then, somehow or another, she found herself in his arms—sobbing and laughing in one breath out of sheer joy and relief. "That other man!" she cried a little incoherently, "he was so like you—that I thought it was you. Jim—" "Monica!" returned her husband reproachfully, "and that fellow was drunk! Never mind, darling," slipping her hand through his arm, "come home—somebody has come to claim him—somebody—some poor devil of a somebody." Monico leeked half fearfully across the platform. Not far away stood the man whom she had mistaken for Jim, standing surrounded by porters, and a small crowd of gapers—a footman was urging, imploring. By his side, bravely facing them all, stood some one whom she recollected as in a dream. "Afterward, one gets accustomed to it." The words cleared Monica's brain, they echoed in her ears—the bright panting engine throbbbed to the same refrain. Ah! she remembered. It was her friend of that black day three years ago, whom she had not seen since. What chance—what irony of fate had brought them together again. "Jim," she said, suddenly. "That man over there—he won't move—they can't do anything with him. Can't you, won't you go over and see if you can get him away from those gaping crowds? That's his wife—she was kind to me—the day you left. Ah! Jim, if it had been you!" Jim Ward needed no second bidding. With a few steady strides he reached the little group. The lady in furs was pleading, scolding, threatening, but all to no purpose. What she could not accomplish Jim's strong voice and steady authoritative manner did. In a few minutes he had escorted the traveler to the waiting carriage and left him there. Monica stood just outside the door, and he linked her arm in his once more as they walked to the cab. "How could I have thought it was you, Jim?" she said in a softly happy voice. "I'm so glad—and yet—that day that miserable day—I envied her!" They were in the cab, and he took her in his arms and kissed her. "But you don't, now?" he asked passionately. "No, I don't now," she answered in tones of deep content; "I almost think it was worth letting you go—to have you back again, Jim!" And for the moment he thought so, too.—E. C. Gidley in Black and White. WISDOM OF AN EMPIRICIST Rich uncles nearly always live to be nonagenarians. It might be lots of fun to be good if it were against the law. The man who works for a living gets it—but that is about all. Being good would be more popular if it had more thrill in it. Most people forget that the hammer is also useful in construction. Swearing was invented to give force to the remarks of weak minds. What makes life so dull is the scarcity of really attractive temptations. Law and justice are always spoken of as two things—and usually they are. More people would be happy if they did not worry so much because they are not. If somebody would put the "lid" on churches, maybe we would all try to break into them. Good luck nearly always happens to some one else. What we get is the result of our peculiar virtues. If the marvels of the sky were only to be viewed in certain localities, humankind would make continual pilgrimages to see them.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. You could hardly get anybody to be bad if that was the way to be a good citizen. The best time a woman has going abroad is waving goodbye to all her envious friends. A man's judgment is not to be mentioned with the way a woman can do things without any. No matter what a woman weighs she feels a good deal heavier on your lap after marriage than before.—New York Press. Bolivian Petticoats. The prized possession of the Bolivian Indian woman and her chief pride also, whether she is pure Indian or chola, is her petticoat. Her dowry is in this garment. Like the Dutch woman of tradition, she carries her wealth about with her. These petticoats are of all colors of the rainbow and divers other hues not found therein. I first noticed them at Nazarene, and remarked the love of color, which must be inborn, for the garments were of yellow, purple, violet, fiery red, crimson, scarlet, subdued orange, glaring saffron, blue and green. They were very short, reaching barely below the knee, and no difference was observed between childhood, maidenhood, matronly middle life and wrinkled old age. Glancing from my window in Tupiza, I thought it was a parade of perambulating balloons. These women have a habit which the bashful traveler does not at first understand. When he sees one of them calmly removing a petticoat he is apt to turn away, but he need not do so. It may be that the advancing heat of the day has caused the wearer to discard the outer skirt, but more likely it is the vanity of her sex, and the desire to make her sisters envious by showing what is beneath, for each new vesture disclosed is more brilliant than the one which overlapped it. I sat in the plaza at Tupiza and watched two Indian women try to make each other envious. The first one removed the outer petticoat, which was of purple. This divestment disclosed another garment of blazing red, and after that came a brilliant yellow. The other woman started with a green petticoat and gradually got down to a mixture of blue and yellow. By that time I had begun to fear for the consequences and made a pretence of turning my back by strolling to the hotel.—National Geographic Magazine. A Montana Gem Mine. The sapphire workings at Yogo Gulch, Mont., are being gradually developed into a great and permanent mining industry. Taken as a whole, the Yogo dike is perhaps the greatest gem mine in the world. It is about four miles long on the surface, and being a true igneous dike, descends to an indefinite depth. It is estimated that the entire contents of workable sapphire bearing rock would approximate 10,000,000 cubic yards. The stones obtained are not of large size. They range from "culls," used for watch jewels and other mechanical purposes, to gems averaging, when cut, from half a carat to two or three carats and rarely up to five or six. As gems they are brilliant, free from flaws and of good color, ranging from light shades to the rich, deep blue of oriental sapphires. The Yogo crystals have an advantage for mechanical uses over East Indian stones in their form, which are largely short prismatic or rhombohedral, with flat basal terminations, and need much less cutting for such purposes as watch jewels.—Jewelers' Circular-Weekly. Light Cure for Gray Hairs. Prof. Bouchard, at a meeting of the Academy of Science the other day, announced that Roentgen rays annihilated white hairs. There is little doubt about it. Some doctors employed in giving X-rays to patients suffering from lupus and other complaints found their own hair reverting to its own natural color and that of the sufferer as well. It was first noticed in the case of a patient whose mustache had turned white. The part brought directly under the influence of the rays resumed its original golden hue. The question was whether his sensational discovery had a real practical application. Prof. Bouchard says: "Yes; undoubtedly—only the rays must be given by experienced practitioners."—Pall Mall Gazette. Paganini's Proposal.

"I know it is much," said the other. "but for you, who makes a fortune by playing on one string, it must be 10 francs." "Well," said Paganini, handing him the right fare, "when you can make your cab go on one wheel come to me and I will give you 19 francs."—La Caricaturista.

A great deal of curiosity and comment was aroused by the Lincoln log cabin as it passed through the different cities of the east on its way from New York to its final resting place in Kentucky. Many curious anecdotes are told of the trip, one of which was recounted with relish at the Belvedere the other day by Capt. N. S. Bullitt of Co. A, First Kentucky infantry, who was in charge of the detail of five privates that guarded the relic on its way south. The car on which the cabin rested stood on a railroad siding in Philadelphia, when a Quaker city man, who had exhibited great apparent interest in the cabin, approached Capt. Bullitt with a timid question. "So that is really the Lincoln cabin?" he asked. "The real thing," responded the captain. "And Lincoln was born in there?" "Right within those very walls." "Well, well," said the questioner, as he ruminatively stroked a meager tuft of reddish beard, "and I suppose he cut those logs with his own hands."—Baltimore News. Ancient Perfume Recipe.

London theater-goers are complaining of being held up for a charity collection between the acts. If the custom continues, London audiences will be driven to the lobbies. The exodus will be as complete as in Paris, where only rews of empty seats would be left for the hat passer.

The Veterans of the Rebellion Tell of Whistling Bullets, Bright Bayonets, Bursting Bombs, Bloody Battles, Camp Fire, Festive Bugs, Etc., Etc. "Yes,' said the Major, "I remember when George B. McClellan was elected captain of the old Chicago Light Guard. Captain J. B. Wyman, the organizer of the company, was called away from the city by business. In looking about for his successor members of the company and citizens interested in military affairs turned to George B. McClellan, who had resigned from the regular army to become chief engineer of the Illinois Central railroad. "McClellan was at that time about 30 years of age. He was, through his visit to the Crimea and his book, published soon after his return, one of the best known of the younger officers of the regular army. The Light Guard was then the crack military company of the Northwest, and it was natural that the men should turn to the former army officer who had just located in Chicago and who carried himself like a thorough soldier. "McClellan did not remain long enough in Chicago to leave his impress on the local companies. When the war came in 1861 the Light Guard was not in existence as a military organization, and McClellan entered the service as commander and organizer of the Ohio troops and was appointed Major General in the regular army before the real work of war had begun. Most of his old military friends in Chicago went into service early in the western regiments, Turchin going to the Nineteenth Illinois, Barker to the Twelfth Illinois cavalry, Forsyth and others to the Eighth cavalry. "Of all the old military circle of 1857 and 1858, Captain Barker of the Chicago Dragoons was the only one to be closely associated with Captain McClellan of the Light Guard, in the early months of the Civil War. After participating in the Cairo expedition Barker, through the intervention of McClellan, took the Dragoons East to become the escort or bodyguard of 'Little Mac,' the most popular soldier of the day. After three months' service the Dragoons scattered into various regiments, several going to Farnsworth's Eighth cavalry. A score or more of the Dragoons, who served with McClellan, became commissioned officers and won distinction. "McClellan's acquaintance in Chicago (he had been here before the Mexican war and attended the first meeting of the St. Andrew's Society) took another Chicago military company East for special service early in 1861. This was the Sturgis guards, armed and equipped as sharp shooters by Solomon Sturgis, and assigned to duty as McClellan's bodyguard in the army of the Potomac. It would be interesting to trace the influence of McClellan's military experience in Chicago on his acquaintances here. I wonder if there is any one living who can do it?" "If Ellsworth had lived a few months longer," said the Colonel, "a good many of the Zouaves who went into Turchin's regiment would have gone East. The story of the military companies in existence in the several States in 1860 is a curious one. But in no State was the history of such organizations more highly spiced with romance than in Kentucky. During the excitement preliminary to the outbreak of hostilities in 1861 companies in many counties were organized for both armies. In Lexington John Morgan, captain of a crack company, went into the Confederate service. Sanders D. Bruce, captain of the Chasseurs, another crack company of Lexington, went into the Union service. "Bruce was given command of the Twentieth Kentucky, and later of a brigade under Nelson. Morgan was given an important cavalry command, and made several raids in Kentucky. In 1863 he surrendered one battalion of the Twentieth Kentucky with 6,000 men, and after a stubborn fight captured it. This gratified him exceedingly, but the several Kentucky cavalry regiments galloped after him through Kentucky and Ohio, and in turn captured Morgan and his immediate command. "I saw those Kentuckians when, after their long ride, they made their last charge on Morgan's men, and it was worth remembering. In all my war experience I never saw men so eager to make a capture as were these Kentuckians—some of them Morgan's old neighbors. They were not malevolent. In their own language, they 'simply wanted to take John in out of the wet.' But they went at it in a way to make Morgan feel that he would like to surrender to somebody else."—Chicago Inter Ocean. Some Grant Stories. For several years there was much said about a railroad from Galena to Janesville, the idea being, when once there, to arrange with the then Milwaukee and Mississippi, now the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, to run a line to Janesville from Milton Junction, and thus secure a Milwaukee connection. The line was built from Milton to Janesville. A number of moneyed men of Galena had been induced to interest themselves in the project. In 1860 several of these gentlemen, including the banker, Henry Corwith, who loaned vast sums of money to Wisconsin lumbermen from thirty to forty years ago, being of the number, drove overland to Janesville for a double purpose—to see the character of the country through which the proposed road was to run, and to consult with A. Hyatt Smith and other Janesville men concerning the contemplated enterprise. Mr. Corwith and his party were met by Mr. Smith and several others. There was a carriage ride in the afternoon. One of the Galena party had not been provided with a seat. He stood in front of the hotel watching the delegations preparing for the trip of pleasure and business. "Mr. Corwith, that gentleman is of your party, is he not?" asked Hyatt Smith. "Yes, he came over with us." "Yes, he came over with us. Well, well! I'll sit with the driver and he can take my place." Never mind him, Mr. Smith. Presume he does not care to go. He is our driver." It was not exactly a banquet they had that evening, after the Janesville people had shown their visitors the town and told them as much in its favor as it would bear, but it was a spread something beyond the average for the little town of two or three thousand inhabitants. "Have you registered?" asked the landlord of a man he saw sitting near the stove soon after the visitors and their entertainers had been located in the dining room. "No, sir." "Going to stay with us to-night?" "I guess so." "Are you of the Galena party?" "Yes, I am the teamster." The landlord stepped into the dining room and said: "Mr. Corwith, your driver is in the bar room. Shall he come to supper now or wait?" Some one suggested that he wait. "No, let him come in. Yes, landlord, tell the captain to come in." tell the captain to come in." So it happened that Captain Grant did not have to wait and eat with the servants, even if he was the teamster. How little anyone at the Janesville table thought that within four years the quiet "teamster" would be the first of modern military chieftains—that he would stop driving railroad delegations about the country long enough to serve eight years as President; that he would have a place in American history that well enough belongs by the side of Washington and Lincoln? For that matter, who in all the wide world had such thoughts in 1860? What astonishing things time and opportunity will do! All the "teamster" needed was an opportunity. A cluster of hot-headed southern leaders in Congress gave him the opportunity, and God gave the Widow Washburne, of Maine, the wisdom, heart, brain and desire essential to bring up a family of boys to a type of manhood not often surpassed, one of whom saw to it that the opportunity was not wrenched from the teamster. One of the Widow Washburne's sons lived at Galena when Grant's opportunity came, and his good bringing up had taken him to Congress and made him one of the most useful and influential members of the House. Who can tell what Grant and the nation would have lost if Elihu B. Washburne had not been close to and in the confidence of another Illinois captain—a soldier in the Black Hawk war—Captain Abraham Lincoln? Washburne and Lincoln saved Grant more than once. Who from? Never mind, now. Captain Grant used to drive through southern Wisconsin selling leather. A young German opened a shop at Lancaster. Grant called upon the German. After trying again and again in vain to make the young man understand he asked a friend to direct him to some one who could talk German. A Mrs. Cox was named. Captain Grant, enforced by Mrs. Cox, renewed the attack on the young German, and made a good customer. That is the way Grant fought it out on the Lancaster line. Saved His Life at San Juan. It was in the dining-room at the Chicago & Northwestern station on a Sunday. The tables were filled, when a fashionably dressed young man walked in, accompanied by a tall negro, whose clothes were ragged and old. The two sat down together, and a bountiful dinner was ordered. While they were eating the white man and the negro laughed and talked together like old comrades. Finally they got up and walked out. At the door they shook hands. "I'll meet you at 8 to-night," said the man with the black skin, as he walked away. A friend who happened into the station at the time asked the host of the occasion how he happened to be dining with a Negro. "I'll tell you," he said. "I went to Cuba with Roosevelt's Rough Riders. In the charge up San Juan hill I was shot through the hip and was left on the field within the line of fire. The negro who just left me climbed up the hill, at the risk of his own life, and carried me to a place of safety. If it had not been for him I doubt if I would have come back from Cuba alive. "That's all there is to it. When a man risks his own life to save mine, no matter whether his skin be white, black, brown, yellow or blue, there is nothing too good for him when I catch him in Chicago. "You young fellows wonder at some of the friendships in the Grand Army. Try army life for a while and you'll understand why artificial distinctions cut no figure when it comes to the real test of a man."

Any passer-by may eat the fruit of these trees, except those about which the owner has bound a wisp of straw, in token of reservation, which is always respected. TEMPERANCE TOPICS. HOMES ARE RUINED BY STRONG DRINK. Thousands of Lives, Characters and Fortunes Are Annually Wrecked Along the Gilded Pathway, Having Its Beginning in Wine Room. A striking story was lately told on the platform by Evangeline Booth, commander of the Salvation Army in America. One night, while Miss Booth sat in her own room, in one of the worst parts of London, a poor woman ran in to tell of a friend near by who had just died. "They say she died of cancer, but it ain't so," said the woman. "He's done it with his drink and his fist! He's drunk now, too. The minute she died he came an' tuk the clothes off the baby an' put 'em up the spout!"—the local slang for pawning them. Miss Booth, following her visitor, went to a cellar, where she found near the body of the mother two children, too young to talk much, curled up together on the damp floor. She took them immediately to her own room, bathed and fed them and put them to bed. Three nights afterward came the father, still intoxicated. His amiable plan, as he announced it, was to wring Miss Booth's neck. Miss Booth told him firmly that he could not have his babies, but that he might look at them if he wished. She then led him to her room, and showed him his babies, their hair combed, their faces rosy and clean, curled up in bed, dressed in little white "nightlies," like two angels, or two ordinary happy little ones. The man continued to be abusive for a time; then the words came more slowly. Finally he stopped short, and then burst into tears—not maudlin tears of drunken men this time, but tears marking the shock of an awakening manhood. "Are them my kiddies?" he asked, finally, in a subdued voice. Miss Booth finished her story by the simple statement—"He never drank again." A dispatch from Summerset, Pa., says: "The greatest coal companies of Western Pennsylvania some time ago announced that they intend to crush out the saloons in the bituminous districts under control." Upwards of 50,000 men are in the employment of these companies, and the coal lands worked by them cover several counties. The companies have already begun operations by filing a protest against licensing saloons in their district, and in this connection they say: "Such a license injuriously affects the rights of property holders in that borough, and does irreparable damage to the coal companies, in that when the miners receive their pay, the hauling of large quantities of intoxicants from house to house by wholesale dealers causes the miners to become drunken and remain idle for long periods of time." What is true regarding the mining industry as evilly affected by saloons is true regarding every other industrial pursuit. Everywhere and always the saloon is a menace to every legitimate industry. The dispatch further states: "Not a doubt exists but that the action of the companies will make a thorough prohibition district of the scene of their operations." Benefit of Temperance Instruction. A millionaire brewer, a State Senator, said to Mrs. Hunt of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union: "I shall vote for your bill providing for instruction in public schools of the physiological effects of alcohol. I have sold out my brewery and I am clean from the whole business. Let me tell you what occurred at my table. A guest was taken dangerously ill at dinner and there was a call for brandy to restore him. My little boy at once exclaimed, 'No, that is just what he doesn't need! It will paralyze the nerves and muscles of the blood vessels so they will not send back the blood to the heart!' When the liquor was poured out to give the man the lad insisted on pushing it back. 'You will kill him; he has too much blood in his head already.' 'How do you know all that?' I asked. 'Why, it is in my physiology at school.' It seems the text-books, prepared by such men as Prof. Newell Martin, F. R. S., of Johns Hopkins University, have succeeded in giving the lad some definite information which has proved useful." "Senator," said Mrs. Hunt, "are you sorry your boy learned that at school?" "Madam," the man replied, raising his hand, "I would not take $5.000 for the assurance it gives me that my boy will never be a drunkard." An Enormous Output. The annual production of wine in all the countries is about 4,000,000,000 gallons, or about $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ gallons for each man, woman and child on earth. France is the greatest wine grower, and Italy comes second with 554,000,000 gallons, and Russia produces only 18,000,000, little Switzerland beating her with 26,000,000. All America turns out only 185,000,000 gallons, about one twenty-fifth of the entire product. However, we make enough beer and whisky to offset our wine shortage. Springfield (Mass.) Republican. A Cleveland bank requires its employees to sign an agreement not to enter any place where intoxicating liquors are sold.
