Washington, July 28.—Secretary Hay, through Consul « G-oodnow. Shanghai, answered Li Hung Chang this government cannot entertain

/proposition to have ministers deliv­ered at any point outside Pekin until free communication established be­tween Conger and Washington.

Kaiser William’s final orders to troops sailing for China were to give no quarter, take no prisoners, -and teach 'Chinese such* a lesson they would not even wink at Germany for next thousand years,

All foreigners and many native Christians reported killed at Taoting, Massacre at Shansi. Disturbances in­creasing in all directions. Pillage at Kwantung. Wholesale murder at Pao-Ting-Fu.

Simple and pretty summer dresses are made of white, pale-blue, or prim­rose-yellow nuns’ veiling or grenadine, with yoke and sleeves either of silk, or of the veiling, crossed with narrow velvet ribbon in lattice designs The skirts are trimmed with three £ ounces o f the veiling bordered with rows of velvet ribbon, the top flounce headed with a band of beading threaded with 1 the ribbon. This heading is about two Inches wide,_ and forms also the belt and, the band which covers the joining of the lattice yoke and lower blouse portion of the waist. . This is made of the veiling laid on spaced tucks and arranged in vertical ‘•tines. A new diagonal silk serge will be among the popular dress material of the autumn season. It »is manufactured in hand1 some colors and in jet black, and -will •he used for tailor, costumes, jackets, • and cloaks. Besides the pretty-Etons, boleros, and scarf draperies added to fine lace-trimmed nightdresses of linen '■

A Natty Walking Costume.lawn ‘ batiste, nainsook, and cambric, many o f the summer styles of French make have short puffs for sleeves— even shorter than the elbow styles al­ready familiar. These puffs are full, being gathered into the arm-scye, and again into a band of insertion on the lower part. This band is edged with a fall or rather wide Valenciennes or Cuny Jace matching that which elabo­rately decorates the bolero, jabot drap­ery, or other dainty accessory on the front of the gown. ,

The fronts of the waists of many of the handsome tailor costumes of the season are made with triple-front edges shaped in various odd ways and formed of materials and colors artis­tically combined. A smart costume has a front edge of the dark-blue' silk-

«serge forming the jacket, overlying* another inserted piece of black velvet,. Which in turn- laps j l second edge _of

damask red corded silk. This arrange­ment extends up the sides of the bo lero and forms very novel and uff cfiv; lapels and turn-down collar. The vest is in tucked blouse style, and) is made of cream-white Liberty sa,tin dotted with ged, the plaids stitched with silk of the same shade. The fold­ed stock collar and slightly pointed girdle are trimmed with rows of har­row black velvet -ribbon.

R e ta in th e G loss. s -It is claimed that the Mercerized

Swiss muslins, batistes, duck, and oth­er cotton weaves when laundered. Will retain the silky gloss, they show this season. In several known instances tMs has not proved the' case, but* in spite of this fact the new finish is : an attractive and improving addition to many of the light summer fabrics, Very few of the lighter transparent grades of cotton, Swiss muslin, for in­stance, look as well after a visit to the laundry.

Great ITinisliinj; Touch. r

The usual number of open-fronted jackets has caused a demand for un- derbodices of different kinds, .and the season’s varied styles include elaborate French gilest, English and Russian waistcoats, and Plain American vests. By a plain American vest is not meant anything at all commonplace ;,or. "easily made. On the contrary, it is 'gn- arti­cle- of ingenious and artistic workman-, ship. If the tailor has a hand! in its creation, it is flawless in its fit, finish,’ and natty effect. If the tailoy^&ipdiste undertakes its build, it is very dainty. Its foundation may; be.’.solid” sjik;i but from collar to waist it radiates fairy1 frills and zephyr-like draperies. Soft chiffon' folds are caught with flitter­ing lace-pins; a costly buck-1 e cadorns. the belt. Altogether, .it is the? great finishing touch of the reason’s smart­est gowns. A melange of velye^rib,- bbn straps, a jabot of rare lace,, a glim­mer of satin, and a glo of richiTtanue or Oriental brocade, describes some of‘ the newest Parisian g ile ts .S m a ll waistcoats within waistcoats bordered with lines of .gold.

- Dress Sleeves.' ’ i -Very slight‘and gradual changes are

being made in dress sleeves .-by all high-class modistes. The bell ? shapes with* full ..undersleeyes were the first concession.. Then quickly followed all sorts: of pretty cohceist In the way of small yerticai tucks, plaiting's, and shir rings, ’ inset- pieces of guipure, puffed and inserfidn-tfknmed caps, and long, slender Vandykes formed; of panne-, Venise lace, or silk passemen­terie * This 'trimming Surrounds-the top and5 bottom of the'sleeve, and on very- ornate gowns also runs up the back of the sleeve to match • the- elegant ap­plique decorations on the dress kirt, which" in 'not a few caBes reach from belL'to hem, *nbtr only on the-front^and sides, Hdt nipr each seam of the'gored skirt’to- the 'centre back’breadth:;* -Each recurring season the stiff,- dead*'white piques of other days are replaed by

.Improved grades and colorings that render...this; biass of good inore and more attractive. This year many of them are mercerized, so that they look like bengaline silks, and their effect in some'weaves is further enhanced by the daintiest ■ of Watteau devices. There are also delicate anemone pat­terns. on palest sea-green grounds, and numerous pretty stripes and dots, with plain piques in ecru, silver and tur­quoise blue, red and soft daffodil yel­low,

A Yankee Invention.Here is a Yankee With a fifteen-

cent invention which he insists is ;as effective as a * lifetime' of we'afing of French corsets in ‘ ' lengthening the waist at the front. The trinket is. made from metal, is three • or four inches long, half an inch wide and punctured in Hal| a dozen plates to al­low of different adjustments, * depend­ing upon how much of an ‘incline to th,e belt is desired. ’The. invention has -four claws; two above two. The low­er set holds down, the skirt and the upper two’ fasten upon the belt .tightly and.“dip” it after the mode of the hour. Hitherto, so say the’ promoters of the new fifteen-cent necessity, wo­men have sought in vain for a trust­worthy. method of curving down the belt iii front. Pins are unreliable and buttons useless. Nothing less than a. natural curve, such as long wearing; of Frenclj stays produces, or an inflexible piece of metal is sufficient. These waists lengtheners are. being sold like ice cream soda by demonstrators in the department shops. I should think that these: curios might, indeed, ibe good for keeping down the skirt and giving an appearance of length in front to the waist. They come in five styles—gilt, silver, light and dark bronze and black. The .disadvantage in the use'of the toy is that a button­hole should be worked in whatever piece or pieces of lingerie cross the clap of the corset on to which the shank of the device is fastened. The lengthener is slipped through that but­tonhole before it is adjusted to sldrtand belt. 1

a careful eye to certain details or Eihc will not be smartly shod. An abso­lutely-flat last, an “English boy toe” and a straight heel are the good form essentials for the' walking boot or the low-cut tie. The new slippers have heels. somewhat lower than formerly, and, while the toes are daintily point­ed, they must not turn up. ; '

' A boot nr slipper to be correct must test '" perfectly flat on th.e "ground. Careful treeing8 keeps the: last itfipr p er shape'. Patent leather is the smart­est, for dress in both boots and slipp r? For the latter, however, black suede i - very good, as it makes-the foot loo! smaller.

That sounds fantastic, in view of the fact that a depth of 12,000 feet would be’ necessary"; to boil water, but a scheme "of the same sort was urged with great energy hack in the 60s by a Washington’ Inventor named -Fo rain. If my memory is'correct, ’Forain was a man of considerable means * and a mathematician of ability. The in ern- al "h-§at! o f(-the i'earttodS ’.supposed to equal about one" degre’e to" the' 100 -fee' of penetration, but he claimed to ha\e discovered that-’ ’ the per.ceniage ■ was- very much.rgr^ater and ? increased in

-‘•compound ratio after a -certain..dentil was reached. ,;-He figured .out. an elab. orate table and proposed to sink a huge shaft with accumulators at f the’ bottom, froih which unlimited sfeam

would be supplied to the surface. All that was needed was a few million dollars capital to pay for the digging and the plant, and he immediately set to work to raise the amount. Forain succeeded in interesting a number of people of wealth and formed a joint stock company, but meanwhile his cal­culations were assailed by scientists and it was shown pretty clearly that the figures Were incorrect. He replied with great bitterness and the conse­quence was that the scheme went to pieces in the shock of controversy,

“What became of Forain I don’t know. If the problem is actually solved, I suppose he will be fished ou' of the limbo of cranks and visionaries to take his proper place in history,”

Chance for the Surplus Woi>i:>;>.A report issued by the British gov­

ernment says that there is “a' notable lack of women throughout the entire extent of the British colonies,” and th suggestion is made that “at ’least five hundred thousand. English women should emigrate there in order .to es­tablish a proper equilibrium between the sexes.” The reason for this sug­gestion is the fact that there are in England, and especially in London, many more women than men,' and po­litical economists argue that, as many of these women cannot find husbands at home, they ought to look for them in the colonies. In London alone there are said to be five hundred thousand unmarried women, and if they would only consent to emigrate the colonial problem would readily be solved. . „

The women,' however, are not inclin­ed to emigrate, and they turn a deat ear to the grave statistician, who as sures them that 'this is simply a case of supply and demand. Five hundred thousand young colonists are looking for wives, and, if the five hundred thousand Londo'n women will go dal and marry them they will make them­selves and others happy, ahd they will add greatly to the prosperity of tne British colonies.” Neithe-; do they pay- much heed to the French writer who informs them that they will make a grave mistake if they decline to accept this invitation.

History constantly teaches us that women are never more happy than- in young countries. .The Sabine women, when their first surprise was over, grew accustomed very quickly to their new husbands, and were treated at Rome with respect which was not ac­corded to them in their own countrv. It was the same at the beginning of the century in young America, and if the women of that country are to-dav more free and more independent than the women of any other country, the. reason is because for many years the supply of women in the United States was less than the demand.”

The result of a survey of Lake Chel­an in the northern part of the State of Washington has been given by Gen. Merriam, commander of this depart­ment. He says in his Teport:

“The cliffs on each- side of the lake were most percipitous, towering up in many places to a height of 1,500 or 2,- 000 feet. But it is the lake i.sclf that is the greatest marvel. Its waters are clear and blue, and by actual sound­ings have been found to be of an aver­age depth of 3.090 feet. This eerns el- most incredible, but it is the truth. The width of the lake varies from a mile and a half to two miles, bin i,ue length is the most remarkable of all.

“When I pointed up toward what ap­peared to be the head of the lake and asked the Indians if the lake was not about three miles long, they laughed and shook their, heads. They said it was a three-days’ journey for a four- oared canoe. I determined to see for myself, so the next morning my engin­eer and I and two Indians started un the lake in the largest canoe the na­tives possessed.

“It was impossible to go on the lake shore as in most places the mountains ran sheer down to the water’s edge. We rowed along until .we came to the northern confine of the lake and there we found that it made a big bend to the right and stretched on and on.' Thr- next day we started out again, and on the third day at nightfall, just as the Indians had said, we reached the head of the lake. On the return trip wt measured the distance and found the length tot1 he "a fraction‘over sixty-five miles.

“ This curiously narrow and deep body of water was cut right down through the mountains by the glaciers of bygone ages. At the foot of the lake is a great moraine.”

CHINESE TROUBLE

SOME FORMER TROUBLES THE POW­ERS ,HAVE HAD,

Adm iral Foote’s Campaign—A Form er A l­liance Against China—Some Chinese A t_ tillery—W o W ere A llies in 1858—Territory Secured by Other Powers.

This is not the first time that Am­erican marine and bluejackets have encountered the hostile forces of Chi­na. In 1856, when China was just on the eve of her war with England, Com­mander A. H. Foote, afterward des­tined to play an important part in the civil war, lay off Canton in the sloop of war Portsmouth. The city and the surrounding country was in' a disturb­ed state, and he had gone to Canton to protect the American residents and their business Interests.

Then, as now, all China rang- with the cry of “ drive out the foreign dev­ils,” and the government at Pekin was backing the movement in an under­hand way, while professing to be friendly. Canton was defended by four big forts. They were masonry affairs with walls eight feet thick and mounted 176 guns. In these forts was a garrison of 5,000 men.

One of the Effective Shots.One day one of the forts fired on.

the Portsmouth. Commander Foote demanded an apology from the Chi­nese Governor, but all apology or ex­planation was curtly refused. Then Foote got angry.

Having been reinforced hy two other warships, the San Jacinto and.the Le­vant, Commander Foote decided to take matters into his own hands. On November 20, after his ultimatum had been treated with silent contempt, Foote ordered his ships to open on the forts. Under cover of a furious bom­bardment he landed 287 marines and r bluejackets and proceeded to storm the defenses. He had with his landing party four howitzers. The water was so shallow that the boats could not approach close to the land, but the men jumped into the water and waded ashore, dragging their howitzers after them.

They then made a detour through the rice fields so as to take the first fort in the rear. This fort mounted fif­ty three guns of heavy caibre, andl had a large garrison, but the Yankees charged it with great fury and carried it at the point of the bayonet. Fifty of the defenders were killed and the rest fled in a panic. As soon.as the American flag was seen flying from the first fort, a second fort across the river opened on the captured works. The Americans turned the guns of the fort they had taken against the fort across the river and soon silenced it. An army came out from the city to try to recapture the fort occupied by the Americans, but was driven back with loss.■ The next day an attack was made on the fort which rhad been silenced tem­porarily the day before. The fort was lively enough now, and the landing party, which this day was composed Of detachments from all three of the ships, was met by a heavy fire from this defense, and from the two other forts still occupied by the Chinese. A heavy shot plunged into one of the San Jacinto’s boats, killing three men and wounding seven, and another shot sunk the launch of the Portsmouth. But the Americans pressed on with dash and determination, and by 4 o’clock that afternoon the Stars and Stripes flew over the second fort. This fort mounted forty-one guns and com­manded the third fort. The guns were at once turned upon the third fort, which surrendered.

W e W e re A llies in 1858.In the year preceding the failure of

the British to silence the Taku forts those same defenses had been taken by the British and FtfSnch, who were In alliance. The combined fleets of the allies and of the Russians and Amer­icans arrived at -the mouth of the Pei- ho river about the middle of April, 1858. On board were envoys from France, England, Russia and the United States who were empowered to make definite treaties with China and put an end to the desultory, though unofficial, warfare which had for some time been waged against “ foreigners. The Chinese government tried shift- ings and delays and, finally seeing that nothing could he acomplished without force, the French and English fleets bombarded the Taku forts while the Russian and the Americans looked. On. The Chinese made only a slight resist­ance. As soon as Taku was captured a force was landed from the assem­bled fleet, and the expedition pushed on rapidly to Tien-Tsin. Here the foreigners were met by envoys from Pekin, who said they were willing to sign the proposed treaties. On April 14 the Russian treaty was signed, and four days later the American. The British treaty was not signed until June 16, and the treaty with France was signed the following day. In the British and French treaties it was stipuated that representatives of for­eign Powers should be allowed to live in Pekin, additional ports were to be opened to trade, the Yang-Tse-Kiang was opened to navigation by foreign vessel, and an Indemnity of $5,500,000 was promised England. A smaller sum was promised to France. At the time that these treaties were' being signed the Chinese troops in the neighborhood of Canton were conducting hostile operations against the foreigners they*, ft was the next year, when, the envoys provided for by these treaties reached the mouth of the Reiho river on their

way to Pekin, that the forts o f Taku drove back the British fleet and Tatt­nall made His “blood-is-thicker-than- wafer” remark..

Tlieir Artillery.What sort o f forts constitute the de­

fenses o f the Chinese Empire may bp Imagined from the report made recent­ly by Lord Charles Beresford, Which he embodied in his book “The Break- Up of China.” He said: “By permis­sion of the Viceroys I visited forty of the forts and batteries which, .form the coast and river defense of the" Chi­nese Empire. At all these forts I asked-that the guns’ crews might man- the guns in order” that their state of efficiency should be tested. The guns were laid and trained and some of them were fired. Some o f the forts are immensely powerful, and a few guns’ crews knew how to handle the guns. Physically, the garrison artil­lery throughout the empire are a splendid body of men. The forts are armed with every conceivable sort of gun; the modern forts with heavy modern breech-loading artillery of the best description. * In one of the forts was a heavy battery, of sixty-tone mu»- zle-loading guns, which were loaded by depressing the muzzle into the maga­zine. I ventured to point out to the general the danger of this proceeding and the likelihood, through careless sponging, of the magazine blowing'up. The general congratulated me on my acumen and immediately showed me where a magazine had exploded a year before from the same cause and had been rebuilt for a probable repetition of the accident, which had cost no Jess than forty-two lives. At another fort I asked to see the powder used in the heavy uns, and was shown some pow­der or Chinese manufacture.. I sug­gested that Such powder was not suit­able and 'might hurst the gun. The general in command replied: ‘Yes, it does; we have lately blown tbe breech off two twelve-inch fifty-ton Krupp guns and killed and wounded thirty* men.’ ”

In Tien-Tsin is a fell-equipped ar­senal and in the arsenal a mint ca­pable of turning out $30,000 a day. Close to the arsenal is a government powder factory. The Chinese Naval Academy is also located at Tien-Tsin. It has sixty students learning to be­come naval officers. Next door to the naval academy is a school under Rus­sian supervision, where Chinese are taught the language of the Czar at th : expense of the Pekin government.

Territory Secured.The principal cessions of territory h»

China to foreign powers are as fol-. lows: The Island of Formosa was-ceded to Japan in 1895, after the wai with China. In 1897 Germany seized the port of Kiou-Chou on the east coast of the Shantung Peninsula, her excuse for so doing being a massacre of missionaries which had taken place there. Two months later she received from China a ninety-nine year lease of the port and district. In 1898 Rus­sia obtained from China a twenty-five- year lease of Port Arthur, Talienwan

A Group of Chinese Naval Students.and their adjacent territories and wa­ters. The lease can be extended bj mutual agreement. The same year the Chinese government gave permission for Great Britain to occupy Wei-Hai- Wei for as long a period as Russia shal hold Port Arthur. To compensate France for the concession given to Great Britain and Russia a ninety- nine-year lease‘ was given her of the bay of Kwang-Chau-Wan, on the coast opposite the island of Hainan, and last year two islands at the entrance of the hay were definitely ceded to her

The home of the present duke oft Marlborough had a, long and eventful: history, from the time of Ethelred, Who held a Wittenagemot there in the ninth century, and of his . illustrious brother Alfred, who not only resided there, but is said to have ’ made liis translation of Boethius Within its walls. In the time of William the Conqueror it was described in Dooms: day book as a borough, and Henry 1. surrounded the park with a wall and filled it with foreign wild: beasts- which he “procured from other princei- or bought up at a great expense.” But it is Henry II. whose association with Woodstock recalls the memories of fair Rosamond, and although the site of her “bower” is apt known tbe spring.' which is supposed to have supplied lie , bath still retains her name and. flows Into an existing bath about five feet deep and twenty square,-lined at the bottom and on the sides with freeston and fenced with iron palisades. Tin , history of Woodstock palace is the. history, in a large measure, of mediae val- royalty, and, beyond noting that , Chaucer lived in Woodstock and that. Queen Elizabeth was imprisoned there by Queen Mary it will be sufficient to say that it was irreparably ruined dur leg the civil war by the ti-oops of the parliament, and that for nearly halt a century it was left to crumble into dust. In the beginning of the eight ennth century “handsome Tact Churchill,” having achieved undyinv fame at Blenheim, received the domaii. as a gift from a grateful-nation, and proceeded to build the new palace, which, taking the name of the battle field upon- which Churchill had shar tered the unitdd forces of France anr Bavaria, rears its lofty turrets on tin opposite slope of the valley.

For a year or-two after his father’: death the present duke remained al most entirely at Blenheim, and hi; first visit abroad was to the Uniter States and Canada. Here, previous t. his marriage to Consuelo Vanderbilt he traveled a good deal, going all ovei Canada. The young duchess won .al hearts by her unaffected grace anr charm when her husband brought he . to England.. They have not, of course- spent the whole of their time at Bleu helm. They have traveled througl Spain, Italy and Egypt, to say nothin*' of France, and from the Nubian deser they brought home a lad who, in liif native dress, makes a striking figure ir. the great hall at Blenheim.

The duke’s taste for travel has, how­ever, -been satisfied for a time, espe­cially as thebe are so many sports and pastimes in which he is interested at home, and .he is equally keen on hunt­ing and shooting, among -the horses in the stables being six gray hunters un­docked. The duke is very fond of gardening and takes a still closer In­terest in the two farms of 600 or 700 acres which he keeps in his. own hands.

Against Cremation,Cremation had many more difficul­

ties to meet and much stronger prej­udices to overcome in England than • have confronted it here, but the Brit­ish advocates of this method “of dis­posing of the dead were persistent,' and already their views, if not exact­ly popular yet, have ceased to excite active opposition. The Cremation so­ciety is now 25 years old. It took four years of work and argument to bring about the building of the first crema­torium and six years more passed be: fore an incineration was publicly per­formed under the society’s auspices. The number of incinerations has in­creased gradually from three in 1855 to 240 in 1898, and the tptgl has reached 1,288. The argument against cremation upon which most emphasis has been laid by its reasonable, as dis­tinguished from ‘its sentimental, oppo­nents, has been the danger of destroy­ing the evidence of crime. To meet this objection, which Is real, though of slight practical importance, the Eng­lish society has assumed the obliga­tion of investigating the condition of death in the case of every body for the incineration of which- application has been made, and it has now secured the services of a distinguished path­ologist for consultation purposes In cases of unusual doubt or difficulty, and for making necropsies when re­quired. The Medical Record, com­menting on these facts, says it is an interesting question whether crema­tion, “ while remaining optional in cases of death from ordinary causes, should not sooner or later become, ob­ligatory when death is* due to such transmissible diseases as smallpox, scarlet fever, diphtheria, cholera,,.,^- phoid fever, tuberculosis, etc.,, at all events in the chief centers of popula­tion.” Such a course, it says, would seem amply justified to sustain the active efforts being made in every di* rection to limit the ravages and re­strict the dissemination of prevent­able disease.—New .

I am a farmer loca ted near Stony Brook, one of the most malarious districts in this State, and was bothered with malaria for years, at times so I could ngt work, and was always very constipated as well. For years 1 had malaria so bad in the spring, when engaged in plowing, that I could do nothing but shake. I must have taken about a barrel of quinine pills besides dozens of other remedies, but never obtained any permanent benefit. Last fall, in peach time, I had a most serious attack, of chills and then commenced to take Ripans Tabules, upon a friend’s advice, and the first box made me all right and 1 have never been without them since. I take one Tabule each morning and night and sometimes when 1 feel more than usually exhausted 1 take three in a day. They have kept my stomach sweet, my bowels regular and I have, not had the least touch of malaria nor splitting headache since 1 commenced using them. 1 know also that I sleep better and wake up more refreshed than formerly. I don’t know how many complaints Ripans Tabules will help, but I do know they will cure any one in the condition I was and 1 would not be without them at any price.. 1 honestly consider them the cheapest-priced medicine in the world, as they are also the most beneficial and the most convenient to take.I am twenty-seven years of age and have worked hard all my life, the same as most farmers, both early and late and in all kinds of weather, and 1 have never enjoyed such good health as 1 have since last fall; in fact, my neighbors have all remarked my improved condition and have said, *‘ Sav, John, what are you doing.to look so healthy?”W AN I'EL).—A uurk of bad health that R I P a NS vt ill m.t benefit.

P" FIERCE AMAZONS OF AFRICA

W om en Forced to Snter the Arm y—Con­sidered an Honor to Them.

One o f the most picturesque of the African institutSons, which are disap­pearing as England, Germany and other European nations take possession of the continent, is the Amazon army of the Guinea coast. It is possible that the stories told of these Amazons have been much exaggerated,. but the ac­counts of them given by entirely re­liable authorities are too interesting to need embellishment of any kind.

When Captain Burton visited Cana, in West Africa, the Am'azon army, which he first encountered near that place, consisted of 2,500 women, who were served by other women, held as slaves for them.

The Amazon soldiers consisted of women of two kinds—those who were originally spinsters, selected by the king for the service, and those who had been separated from their husbands. Although enlistment among the Ama­zons was looked on as an honor, it was also used, as a punishment for any wife whose temper was so domineering that her husband found her insuppor- - table.

About one-third of the army had been married women. The rest were maidens, watched with the greatest care to prevent them from indulging in the human weakness of falling in love.A fetish, placed over the gate of the camp, was supposed to have the power of .detecting; them, hut if in spite of it they broke their laws of military con­duct they and their accomplices were put to death.

Their uniform consisted of a blue and white tunic without sleeves and a petticoat, under which they wore a pair of short trousers, much like the bicycle bloomers of the United States.- Over the whole was strapped the am­munition belt. The muskets carried by the women were antiquated, and, as they rammed the ball down on the powder without wadding, they were never likely to hit anything they r aimed at. .

The Amazon army was divided into battalions, one of the most curious of » which was the “razor brigade,” armed with razors two feet long, used in’ cut­ting off the heads of enemies killed by the others or of criminals condemned to death.—New York World.

Among the many remedies for indi­gestion is the agreeable one of the rocking-chair. An excellent medical authority declares that the .slow, rock­ing motion after meals stimulates the digestive functions, and gives marked relief. The patient ought to be placed in an almost horizontal position.

Another for the Blues.BUCHANAN 10, MEUSSELB B . C. 9.The game on Friday between the

Blues and Meussell Brewing Co’ s, team o f South Bend was rather tame but was witnessed by a good sized crowd. Owing to the brightness of the sun and the clear sky a number of errors were made by both teams but Buchanan was fortunate in that their errors were not fatal to -their victory although they let in more than the usual number o f runs. The game briefly was as follow s:—-The visitors went to bat first Hilden getting a sin­gle, being advanced by Schlidwein, Wills struck out, Coahefska's single bringing in two scores. Walburn then died on three strikes, Schmalzri- ed, the one armed pitcher made a sin­gle, followed by Joers who singled and brought in another score, Cully batted a grounder to Beistle who fielded him out at first, and retired the side. For Buchanan Ashby batted into the hands o f first base, and sat down. Henderson Was preserted his base on balls and stole second, Han­over then batted safe and stole sec­ond, while Henderson got third at the same time. Beistle was presented his base on balls, and Roe batted into second baseman’s garden and was fielded out at first, Henderson and Hanover scoring. Butler struck safe while Beistle .scored,- Wynn struck out and the side went out.

SECOND IN N IN GBarnard batted a grounder to Ash­

by who gathered it up and passed it over to Wynn and he quit. Hilden batted a fly into Henderson’s handB and of course that settled him. Schlidwein and Wills both struck safe but Ooshefska fanned the air three times and both died on bases. In the last half Brodrick batted over toward short stop but that player got the ball'to first before Brodrick reach­ed there. Koons batted a nice fly into second baseman’s hands and that was two “Billy s” out. Ashby made a safe hit, followed by Henderson by Hen­derson and Hanover,, and Ashby scored. Beistle then batted to short, who got the ball back to first in time to-close the side.

f TH inD INNINGWalburn batted to Ashby and the

ball went over to first in short order. Schmalzrid made a single, Joers followed suit, Cully following their pattern, the two former scoring, Cully then played a little too far from third base when one o f those pretty throws by Hanover ended his hopes of scor­ing. Barnard then batted a grounder to Roe and it was a hard row for him as the ball got to first ahead of him. For Buchanan *Roe opened the ball by batting into the hands of left field and did not go any farther. Butler took his base on balls, stole second, and went to third on Wynn’s single, scoring on Brodrick’s bagger, closely follwed by Wynn. Ashby then went to the plate and struck out, Henderson made a safe hit Brodrick and Koons scoring. Hanover and Beistle were given their.base on balls and then Henderson was caught at third ending the inning.

This is something new and will interest farmers generally. : On one page of this book is printed the history for one season

of a farmer’s cash affairs just as they occurred on his farm. On the page opposite this history the. Cash Account is written out in legal bookkeeping form. This forms a correct model to which the farmer may refer and correctly write his own cash account on the properly ruled blank pages farther along in the book. :

On another page are printed the facts concerning a season’s business with a cornfield. The bookkeeping work in correct form is written out on the page opposite, showing all outlays, receipts, and the final profit. : : : . :

All is made so plain by full explanations that any fanner can on the succeeding blank pages keep in strictly scientific and legal form his own accounts with any grain or hay field. :

In a like manner a model is given for an Apple Orchard Ac­count which may be applied to any orchard; as plum, peach, or to a berry field. ; : : : :

A model Account with Cows is give.n, from which any farmer may keep any stock o” poultry account* : : :

A model account with a hired wan is given. Also with another person. There is also a connect legal model for recording notes.

Census Com plaints.It seems to be difficult to finish up

the census in New York, Twenty-five enumerators were sent back over their districts to “scrape a little harder.” The supervisor was not quite satis­fied with their work. They had re-

1, turned a number of children without saying whether they were married or single. This' was one of the com­plaints, but there were others.

A T ou ch in g Service.There was a touching scene in the

Presbyterian building here the other day, when sixty persons met for the service of prayer for the missionaries and native Christians in China. Many of those who took part have seen ser­vice In foreign . fields, and their sup­plications for the safety of their brother and sister workers in China were marked by much earnestness. Their 'tears flowed freely as they pray-

1 ed. Similar services were to be held in other cities in the country, and the fact was referred to at the meeting in New York.

M arcon i’s Conferences.Signor Marconi, the wireless tele­

graph inventor, sailed for home on the Teutonic the other day. He has been in this couhtry and Canada four weeks conferring with representatives of the two governments, hut he will not tell what the conferences have been about. He said, at the pier, that valuable re­sults from wireless telegraphy had been obtained in the South African war, which shows that Signor Marconi is not blind to the advantages of ad­vertising his own wares.

BOOK PLATES IN DEMANDEVERY WOMAN DESIRES ONE

OF HER OWN.

Many D esign Theirs, and in M ost Cases I t Is Supposed to R epresent

& . ,, the O w ner’ s Tasteso r G enius.

The demand for book plates Is on the increase, the smart engravers and stationers say. Every woman wants her own special and particular book label, and nearly every woman has very decided ideas as to what it should be like, says the New York Commer­cial Advertiser. Following the custom of those few bookish ladies of olden days, they embody their particular tastes in the design of their book plate. A harp or lute signifies that the owner of the book shares her love of literature with a love of music; a needlewoman adopts a fanciful floral design; the student of nature’ has a landscape, and those proud persons whose grandparents all died aristocrat­ically of gout, display the united arms of their fathers and husbands.

Women have been very successful designers o f book plates and manage to get a great deal of sentiment in their pictoral designs. One woman whose heart is almost equally divided between her children and household and her books has a hook plate show­ing a formal garden, with a house in the distance. In the foreground are three curly, cherubic heads bent over q huge book., On one side is a distaff and on the other a pile of books bear­ing the names of Shakespeare, Cor­neille, Hugo and Thackeray among other favorites.

Ellen Terry has a unique hook plate, designed by her son, Gordon Craig, be­ing an outline map of her cottage at Winchelsea.

The Italian hook plates of a hundred years ago were exquisite in design, hut in modern times Italians seem satisfied with very simple labels, much like or­dinary visiting cards. Some bool? plates are extant which Albert Durer designed long before he began the seri- ious study of art

The Study of hook plates is one of the most fascinating of hobbies, and the collection of these artistic designs is more interesting to a student of peo­ple than posters, as the better plates are symbolic as well as artistic and contain subtle indications of individ nal character. In the selection of suit­able mottoes alone may ho found am-

Five or ten cents is the cost of keeping cool on a hot summer’s day in New York, and there are many wavs of investing it. The first necessiti.s to coolness are quietude and a current of fresh air. Anybody can be quiet, and the current of air may easily be created by swift motion. Rich peo­ple secure the combination by means of buggies, automobiles and four-in- hand coaches; but people with smaller means can accomplish the same re­sults by means of electric cars. Above Twenty-ninth street, by a judicious use of the transfer system, a man can ride all day on the open cars for five cents. For a nickel Riverside Park may be reached. Five cents also takes the pleasure seeker to Fort George, situated on a high ridge of ground, with the Hudson on the other, and

Richard Croker.with, almost the same artificial attrac­tions which make Coney Island pleas­ant to so many people. For the same money, and a short walk added, Au-

. dubon Park and. Washington Heights become available. -After paying five cents to reach Fort Dee ferry, an ad­ditional nickel will take the tourist across the river, and a brief walk will carry him to the. Palisades up the Hud­son.

After weayring of Manhattan Island an additional nickel will carry the tourist from the Third avenue road to the wilds of the Bronx, which are traversed by the Union railroads, pop­ularly known as the Huckleberry lin s and by these he may reach Bronx Park, Pelham Bay, Crotona Park, Van Cortlandt Park, River dale. New Ro­chelle, Yonkers and Mount ' Ver: on. The transfer system is so arranged on these roads that the man who is try­ing to be comfortable might ride a whole day through for one fare, or, on the other handy he may set off at Any one of. hundreds of shaded groves

or' windy hills, sling a hammock, or spread a rug and picnic.

JietTirn o f < ro ltcr .The return Richard Croker has

been commented on by the press and a complete history of his daily doings is chronicled In some of the papers.. Mr. Croker’s position as the head cf the most powerful political organization In the country, makes his utterances of great importance at this time be­yond the lines of the State of New York, for more than one presidential election has been decided by the votes cast within a radius of ten miles of the city hall. Some of the newspapers have been trying to make much of an alleged disagreement between Senator Hill and Mr. Croker. The Senator lias never approved of the Chicago platform and there has been much doubt of the attitude he will take this year, Bu‘ Mr. Hill is the great power in the Democratic party in the State outside of the metropolis. Even in this field he has a rival, or to speak more cor rectly, Mr. Croker seems inclined to look upon former Senator Murphy as Ehe State leader. Mr. Murphy and Mr Croker are in accord on the candidate and the platform, while Senator Hill Is as intensely opposed to certain planks of that platform as he was in 1896.

In flu e n ce o f N ew T o r lc ,

The influence of the State of New York in Democratic national conven­tions was for many years all powerful. But when delegates from the State went to Chicago in 1892 to nominate Mr. Hill for President and came hack with Grover Cleveland as the candi­date, nominated without the vote of New York, a new record was made. This was repeated in 1896 when Mr. Bryan was nominated in opposition to the wishes of New York. Tiffs year there has been no hope of defeating Bryan’s nomination' and consequently has made no opposition to him. Mr. Croker and former Senator Murphy both committed themselves to the platform Of 1896 some time ago, but former Senator Hill has done an im­mense amount of corresponding and has made one of the most earnest if

| not one of the most effective efforts Of* his life to prevent the adoption of eer-

J tain planks. He went to Chicago . early and .labored hard for a modifi- ■’ cation of the party’s creed ' which' would he more acceptable to Eastern people than its former utterances. But even Senator Hill has found that ths giant West is asserting itself,' and when leagued with the South it' is a ll, powerful in national conventions. TU.; failure of some of the prominent Dem­ocratic financiers to attend the Chica­go convention is variously commented on. , By some it is said that they are inclined to let others run the r party and then take such action as they did

j in 1896, while others assert that pres­ent conditions have removed much of

, their hostility ot the financial .blanks because other issues of such great .im­portance have come to the fronts' It 'is'* yet too early to predict how these fly nancial interests will treat the 'p.latt,.] form adopted at> Chicago. Perhaps the .most vigorous Democratic *bppoii-

• snt of that' platform wSs Formed Gov­ernor Flower. His great financial in- i

pharges the Manhattan Railway Com­pany with bad faith, and says that the road will certainly have to get out of the park. This explosion by Mr. Clau- Beq ip the copsequence of the Man­hattan Company procuring from the Supreme Court an order enjoining and restraining the park board from re­voking the privilege of maintaining the

I road in the park.The company appears to have no

[intention of leaving, the park, and it has not been believed that the officials periously contemplate ousting them. There have been many efforts made at times on the elevated roads, much of which was intended to depress the stock. There are many who believe that the Traction Company is deter - mined to control the Brooklyn system as well as the Manhattan elevated.0At present there is a movement to de­press the price of Brooklyn Rapid Transit stock and it has gone down in

David B. Hill.a year from 136 to about 54. This Is an enormous decline, but the price is not yet low enough for the Trac­tion Company to invest in it. Great fortunes have been made and lost in these stocks and the end is not yet. When the price of B. R.- T. falls to about 25 or 30 we may expect to see it gobbled up as was the Third Ave­nue road. Then look out for a war on the elevated, for with that in hand the Metropolitan will control almost every line ia Greater New York.

F ore ign Soldiers H ere.Strange as it may seem it is a curi­

ous fact that here in New York there are uniformed soldiery owning no al­legiance to , the United States, hut ready at any moment to return to their native land to fight its battles. These European soldiers in New York have ‘ regular military organizations, armories, ammunition and . their own national flags. Many of. them do not spe.ak English. In a war between their native land and this country, it Is said# most of them would side with the former. - These European soldiers drilling in New York are. French, Ital­ian, Austrian, Hungarian, Bohemian, Polish, German, Scotch and Russian. At No. 213 Forsyth street meets the Order known as the “ Independent Po­lish: Sharpshooters.” They have a fund of $8,000, which is to be .used only in i case their; .dream comes true, and a fight for.

A n E arly Sum m er Id y l.The lambent moon lay idly in .the

serene and sapphire sky and the chirp of an invisible cricket in the clustering vines intensified the stillness of the hotel piazza.

Within the shadow of a cozy corner sat a youth and a maiden. They had been at the hotel only a week, yet his fender heart had been, filled with the wonderful rapture and from the full­ness thereof his mouth spoke.

“Only a week tonight,” he said to he? softly, “and yet it seems as if I had known you always.”

“Yes,” she whispered, with that in­viting rising inflection implying tin delightful doubt which pleads for more proof.

“Don’t you think, Miss Kate, some people are intended for each other from the beginning?” he went on.

“Ob, I don’t really know, Mr. Smith,” she responded, just aggres­sively enough for the sake of argu­ment.

“Well, I do," he asserted confident­ly, “and the first time I saw you I was drawn to you dn spite of myself.”

“Didn’t you want to be?” she cooed, with the irresistible coo of conquest.

It was altogether too much for him. “I prayed to have it go on forever,”

he exclaimed, with impulsive fervor. ‘And, oh, Kate, Katie, darling, I want

to tell you that I loved you then and love you now more than anything else in the whole world, and I want you to marry me. - Say you will, dearest; say you will,” and he grasped her hand convulsively.

She had scarcely expected such a demonstration.

!Oh, Harry.” she cried, “this is too sudden. Walt until after frost. You’ll spoil all my summer fun.”

Then it was that the young man re­called to his wandering wits that this was a summer girl and the season was just at its opening.—Washington Star.

| A LIBERAL EMPLOYER. '

T hat Is W h a t Uncle Sam Is in the M atter o f Vacations.

' The length of time allowed Uncle Sam’s servants for vacations with pay Is prescribed in the Revised Statutes. Certain details, however, are left to the discretion of the executive. For in­stance, a recent order permitting gov­ernment clerks to leave their desks at 3 o’clock Saturdays in summer had to be passed upon by the President and cabinet. The law states that “all clerks and other employes” in the civil service of the executive departments are allowed thirty days’ vacation and thirty days' sick leave each year, with pay, and in usual cases of particular merit, sixty days’ sick leave with pay. What employer would allow his clerks to remain absent one-fourth of the year, with pay?

Army officers may spend thirty days a year away from their posts of duty, but this may be enjoyed not oftener than once in two years, when they may remain absent sixty days alto­gether. Many prefer to take their va­cations every three or four years, when they may stay away three0 or four months at a time, long^enough to take an extensive trip abroad. The leaves of medical officers of the marine hos­pital service are regulated just as are those in the army. Officials of our di­plomatic posts abroad are allowed six­ty days’ holiday each year, not includ­ing time required for the voyage to and from this country, if they return home. Members of the legislative and judicial branches of the federal government, of course, suit themselves as to the dis­position of their time while their re­spective bodies are not in session. They are for the most part independ­ent in this respect, even while they are assembled. After all, Uncle Sam is the most liberal of employers, so far as vacations are concerned,—Washington Star. ■A

W h a t L iq u id A ir Can’t D o.When a man of ordinary business

experience is met with the statement that liquid air can be used to drive an engine, and that three gallons of liquid air so used will, produce 10 gallons of liquid air, he is incredulous, and says: “That is perpetual motion.” But when he is told, and truthfully told, says Ed­win H. Hall, in the Forum, that the new proposition is not to create some­thing out of nothing, but merely to use a small part of the boundless stores of energy which really exist in the air and earth and water about us, he is likely to he puzzled, df not con­vinced. He may ask whether this new thing is any more unlikely than the telegraph or the telephone, or the Roentgen-rays seemed at first.

To this question there is a plain an­swer: The various wonders just named were not, even at first, in opposition to any accepted scientific principle. They added a few pages to the hooks of science,; but they did not require the erasure* of a page already included therein. The marvel of the telephone, for example, lay not in the revolution of our ideas as to electricity and mag­netism, but rather in the revelation of unsuspected sensibility of the human ear to slight impressions.

Captain S. F. Smith, who was first mate of the balk Catalpa when the rescue of the Fenian prisoners was effected at Fremantle, Australia in 1876, tells an interesting story of that memorable event. At that time six men were undergoing imprisonment in the Freemantle jail for complicity in Fenian affairs, among them being John Boyle O’Reilly, and their friends in America had determined to liberate them.

“It had taken a long time to make ready for the rescue,” says Captain Smith. ■“For one year the rescuers had been working (to collect money, for the voyage was to he a ‘long one and would require much outlay. The men who commenced the planning were John Breslin and John Devoy and at first, When they talked, about it, I guess peo­ple thought they were crazy.

“It didn’t take long, though, for them to interest the Fenians—that Is to Wiln their confidence. They were inter­ested enough all the time. It was abojjjL..i.ten years since the revolution

its brief struggle and died. It was about ten years since the last had been seen of the Irish prisoners on their way to a strange land where

, there was never a friend to be found. But in those ten years the friends left behind had never forgotten,

“When Devoy and Breslin laid their plan they knew well enough 'that they would have to tell It to many people, and the question was, would the many keep lit; secret? We all acknowledge that a secret is enough for two, you know. When you realize that this was a secret among 5,000 you may know that 'the hearts o f these 5,000 Were in the cause.

“It took the contributions of all these members of the Clan-na-Gael to raise the necessary $20,000. It (took, besides, all the courage that we who made the saving trip could muster and keep ready for the long journey.

“The bark purchased by the contri­butions was a whaling vessel called the Catalpa. The plan Was to- make pre­tense. of smarting on a whaling ci'uise and under ‘this mask make our way toward Western Australia. Unless we had some ostensible excuse we knew well enough that British suspicion Would be quickly excited, for a British guard is eagle-eyed. When nobody was looking we would snatch the six pris­oners and make off.

“We set sail fro-m New Bedford the last of April, 1875. Captain Anthony was a good man 'to have charge of the .dangerous voyage, for he was a cool- headed captain. He and I were both Americans, and there was only one Irishman in the crowd. He was a com­mon -sailor; the rest of the crew were mostly negroes and Malays.

“We cruised about, going to Fayal and on to Australia from there. We had aboard 200 barrels of sperm oil when we finally reached Bunbury, which Ss about ninety miles from Freemantle, the prison town. It is fair, enough to call it that, for the town is nothing more than an environ- m'emt for the prison.

“We kept in mind all the time the condition) of ’those poor fellows living there. It helped to brace up our cour­age, and we knew that without all the courage in the world we could never push through our undertaking. They had a, dreary time of it, I guess . They were allowed a good deal of freedom within the town, as we found out af­terward; they were put to work at different jobs in the town- ouitside> the prison, .but they felt pretty sure there was no way of escape.”

In the life of John Boyle O’Reilly an account of his punishment, in Austra­lia is described. Here is a' paragraph from the book:

“The first official function was the reading of the rules (of Freemantle prison) . What struck me most <In that long code was the startling peroration, to the enumeration of so many offenses

though they were every-day occur' er Monday some carriages drove the 22 miles from Freemantle to Rockingham. They contained the six prisoners and Breslin, their rescurer.

“It is a wonder to me that they ever succeeded In getting so far without be­ing overtaken. There was no attempt sit concealment—the men simply enter­ed the carriages and drove away. Per­haps they were at their various Work­ing places. One was the parson’s gardener and another was employed breaking stone, if I remember nightly. They had been good prisoners, and they were allowed a great deal of freedom.

“It was only a question of time be­fore the alarm must be given alt Free­man tie. Just as the boat containing the six prisoner® and tholir rcecuxers was starting from the shore the mount­ed police rode up in a hurry and tried to isltop them. They were too late. Anthony slipped his little party out from under their fingers and made for the Catalpa, tlhe police pursuing them In another boat.

“Now, In the meantime, I had been having a lilbtle affair of my own. The Britislh gunboat Georgette had been paying me marked attention. I knew she was pretty curious about the Ca­talpa. Finally the captain shouted, ‘Bark alhoy!’ I wouldn’t answer at first. ‘Bark ah-oyl’ I heard again. I replied *Bark ahoy!’ myself then, but when the Georgette2 demanded that I heave to, I wouldn’ t do it. Where’s your captain?’ he asked me then. He knew I wasn't the captain. When I wouldn’t answer him he didn’t like it, and he kept on cruising around near us.

“It wasn’t until the rescue boat came toward us that matters grew serious. Then they sighted the boat on the Georgette. It didn’t take them long to deedde on action. It wa® a race be­tween the Catalpa and the police boat to see which would get to the run­aways first.

“Close along to* our lee quarter the Georgette kept. Again and again we headed her off . At last we were close bo Capt. Anthony’s party.

“I swung around so -that the Catalpa was between the two small boats- I kept in thait position so steadily that the police boat could not see the other. Then all of a sudden I lowered the falls, grappled the little boat fore and aft and hoisted the -whole thing on board. It was not until I got the men safely up that the captain of the police boat knew what I was doing. Then he shouted: ‘Weill done, and a good voyage to you.’ I don’t know who he was, but £'II never forget the generosity of that.

“We thought then that all the trou- ole was over. But not quite. Next day the. lockout on 'the bow reported a sail about three points on the weather bow. Breslin thought it was a coast­er. hut when I looked I was sure it was the Georgette.

“I was right. More’s the pity. She came after us and at last fired a ball across ‘the Caitalpa’s bow. She demand­ed that we heave to. When Captain Anthony refused the gunboat’s captain said: ‘I’ll give you ten minutes to sur­render or I’ll sink you.’

“ This was serious. They knew we had prisoners aboard. I went below and talked to the six prisoners and asked what they wanted to do. ‘If you who have saved us choose -to sur­render we afe willing' they said, ’for we don’t want to cost you your lives: but if you choose to keep on we say lie rather than surrender.’

“We above board said the same. The crew was asked their wish. ‘Sink or swim, no surrender,’ they replied. 1 added: ‘Bet him fire and we’ll all sink here together before he’ll get a man off this ship. We’re into this and we’ll sarry it through.’

“And we did. We made our escape though the gunboat pursued for a littl- way. In August, 1876, We landed in New York with the rescued prisoners, and there the little party broke up.

“Where are they all mow? I don’t know. Scattered on the four winds, J . suppose. But this much- I do know— they are all what we left them, free men ‘in a free land.”—Chicago Inter- Ocean.

■ Described by the Sun.The NSW York Sun, Mr. Dana’s pa­

per, says that after describing Hawaii as “a rotten republic,” and character­izing its people as an “abominable community,” and its government as “a gang of crooked schemers” our con­temporary, the New York Times, pro­ceeded yesterday morning to. remark: “

“Over all this unspeakable nastiness we propose to unfurl the American flag. We take Hawaii into our Federal, sis­terhood, and ought to wear the hue of shame and hang our heads in doing it, as might a man who should take Into his home a wretched trollop of the streets.”

Saturday, like Friday, was an un­commonly hot day. On Friday the Mugwump Evening Post came to the melancholy conclusion that popular government had ceased to exist in this country; although later in the day it revised its threnody so far as to admit that popular government might yet be alive, although constitutional govern­ment was certainly dead.

Saturday’s heat acted somewhat dif­ferent upon the cranium of the Times. We as a nation are all right, whatever the Evening Post might say to the con­trary, hut the estimable inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands arid the re­spectable gentlemen who constitute

the government of that little republic will appear to the Times’ superheated brains as things of “unspeakable nas­tiness.”

How much better it is that in news­paper offices where intellect is at the mercy of the' thermometer the ebulli­tion of the gray matter should manifest itself in such comparatively benign symptoms as in the Tribune establish­ment, which produced on the hottest of Saturdays for yesterday’s reading a masterly editorial article, showing that the finer qualities of human nature have not entirely disappeared from earth, and containing this lovely pas­sage:

“Not yet the age of chivalry is gone. Not yet, nor ever will be while human nature to itself holds true. The splen­dors of knight-errantry are past. The valiant deeds that glorified the age of force are done; happy if not forgotten or discredited. Yet each revolving year, defying the dreary drivel of ma­terialism and rebuking the pale plane of Mugwump mediocrity, brings to the fore, some new, resplendent scene that shows how slight and puerile are storm and wreck and woe and death before the conquering greatness of the human soul.”

There was nearly a column that read like a poem. How much better it is,- we repeat, that the crisis should pass thus harmlessly, rather than in melan­cholia or violence.

Kich Men in Kansas.There are no rich men, says William

Allen White in the Atlantic, in these Kansas towns. The men who own .a million dollars’ worth of property number less than half a score in the - whole State. Those who control half a million dollars’ worth of property might ride together in a sleeping-car, with an upper berth or two to spare. Every town has its rich man, measured by a local standard, who is frequently a retired farmer turned banker, but not one in five of these is rated at $100,000. Yet each is the autocrat of his county if he cares to be. T ie mainspring that moves the fownt’s daily machinery may be found in.the back room of the bank.

-‘the penalty of which is death!’ ”They must have been a glad group

of men who heard the whispered news that a party -of daring seamen had left home and were risking the dangers not only -of sea, but, far more, of British displeasure, to take them away front a place where the death penalty threatened from a stern, wall.

Captain" Smith—captain now, mate then—does not dwell npon the dangers of the plot. He is a big, weather­beaten rover, who is brave in action and modest in speech. Perhaps: that is why he is a captain himself nowadays —a captain who is about to 'take a great vessel to the northern waters, where he has guided safely before. “For the last twenlty years I have been, cruising around Alaska and farther north,” he -says. “I've never been to England since *we took those Irish prisoners. I don't know as I care to. I guess these waiters north of here is about as near as I care to- get to the power of Great Britain.”

Then he turned back to the voyage once more.

“When We got to Bunbury we found no one there. You see, Breslin had gone ahead of us to Australia, along With Desmond—old Thomas N Desmond, who used to be -sheriff of San Francisco. These two h-ad been nosing around under false names. They pretended to be buying land, I believe, and so had an excuse to hang around Freemantle and communicate with the prisoners.“Although Breslin was not alt Bunbury

to meet us, -he kept watch of us, and the day after arrival we received a telegram from him. _ Oarit. Anthony- replied, wilitli the result that Mr. Bres­lin came down, to ms, and he and the captain laid the plan of action together. Breslin was to return to the prisoners and make them ready. Capt. Anthony would go hack to Rockingham, about 22 miles from the prison town, and there wait to receive them and bring them out in a little boat to me. I was to have command of the Catalpa for the time and hold her out a lititle way from shore; ready to receive the escap­ing men.

“The preparations were careful and' complete even to the arranging off a. cipher code for use In 'telegraphi ng. On Saturday afternoon the day before Easter, 1876, we sailed beyond Rotfen-

*est lighthouse, and on. Sunday morning When we were about thirty miles south west of the lighthouse, our captain left In -his .small boat. He took a few picked men with him, and .left th e bulk of the crew behind under me.

through British, German, and Japa­nese sources stating that from June 30 to July 16, the legationers wero under continuous attack but an ar­mistice had been arranged and re­ports received indicate that all the ministers except the German ambas­sador were alive as late as July 21, and were f airly well situated.

This cheering news emphasizes very strongly the wisdom o f Secretary Hay’s policy o f considering the Chi­nese as acting in good faith until pro­ven to the contrary. It also empha­sizes very forcibly, that i f the world at large would be more anxious to see the good traits iu mankind, and less anxious to ascribe base motives for unexplained actions, much of the friction and bloodshed would be avoided.

“ The secret -work o f the order was< • exemplified by the degree team andofficers of Buchanan Camp 886, of Buchanan, Mich. The work of the team was excellent, in fa'ct, it was the finest secret work the order ever had the pleasure o f seeing exemplifi­ed.

❖ ❖ ❖“ A Prisoner Among Filipinos” is

the title of Lieut. Commander James C. Gillmore’s account of his extra­ordinary experiences in the Pbilli- pines, which begins in the August McClure's. Lieut. Gillmore was cap­tured bj savage tribes while out in a small boat with a scouting- party on the East coast o f Luzon. He had more than one narrow escape from death. For several months these men traveled hundreds o f miles through the heart o f Luzon* enduring unspeakable hardships, with no pros­pect o f escape from an awful fate at the hands of bloodthirsty'- Tagals. The illustrations by W. R. Leigh after the author’s own sketches are marvelously graphic.

* An International Wheat Corner,” by J. D. Whelpiey, in August Jlfc- Glure's, gives a somewhat startling revelation of a proposition made not long ago by the Russian government to the United States, whereby the two nations should control the wheat sup­ply of the entire world and fix its price at a uniform rate which should never fluctuate. These details have never before been made public.

Joriah Flynt and Francis Walton begin their “ True Stories ' from the Under-World” in the August Mc- Glurefs with “ In the Matter o f His Nibs.” The chief characters in the story are a detective, several tliieves and a Kew police captain. The stories aie illustrated by studies from actual types in the Rogue’s Gallery.

The mid-summer fiction number of this magazine will contain contribu­tions by Frank H. Spearman, Jack London, Ian Maclaren, E. S. Martin, and others, in addition to several special articles o f nnusual interest,; The co ver, by Louis Locb, is one o f the most attractive that this maga­zine has ever had.

placed at the disposal o f the editor of The Zadtes' Home-Journal all the'.«r- • r'illustrative and statistical informa­tion in its private archives relating to the White House, which will be one hundred years old next November. The magazine will trie the material in connection with two articles on the subject it will publish shortly. That some of the views are exceed­ingly rare is shown by the feet that it was only recently that the State De­partment' learned that they existed. '

Michigan is Healthy.The weekly bulletin, “Health in

Michigan,” for the week ending July 21,,1900, just issued by the State Board of Health, shows a very healthy condition in the State. The presence of diarrhea, for the first time this year, at the head of the list o f dis­eases which caused the most sick­ness during the week, might be sup­posed to indicate that this dis­eases was unusually prevalent, but this is not the fact. The average per cent of reports which stated the pre­sence of diarrhea in Michigan in July in the ten preceeding years is 57, and for the week ending July 21 of this year is 51 per cent, or about 6 per cent below the average. The diseas­es which usually cause most Sickness in Michigan,-rheumatism, neuralgia and bronchisis-were less than usually pvevelent, and thus diarrhea, with less than the average amount of sickness at this period of the year, was forced to take first place in the list.

♦> ■*> vThe August, Fiction Humber of

Scribner's Magazine is always a nota­ble one, both for its short stories and the unusual number o f illustrations. This year it will be found especially rich in these particulars as well as in other features. The contents include the names of some of the best-known writers and artists o f to-day, and, as usual, those of-new contributors to the Magazine.

Mr. Richard Harding Davis’s arti­cle, “ Pretoria in War Time,” gives a vivid and novel idea of the appear­ance and curious individuality of the Boer capital, and of the way its peo­ple viewed the approaeh'of the Brit­ish, and a most attractive impression o f the stalwart figure and vigorous personality o f President Kruger. The comments upon the conduct of a num­ber of the captured British officers, in which they are said to have taken their imprisonment in anything but a “ sportsmanlike” spirit, will no doubt excite considerable discussion.

■*> ❖ ❖ .There are some remarkable articles

in the Forum for August, primus inter pares being “ The Present Status o f Afghanistan,” by no less a digni­tary, than Sultan Mohammand Khan, Chief Secretary of that “ buffer coun­try” between Russia and England. The Hon. Charles’ Denby, late minis­ter to China, relates “How Peace Was Made Between China and Japan,’’and F. F. Hilder writes o f “ The Present and Future of the Philippines.” The well-known English labor leader, James Keir Hardie, who has done as much as any one living to advance the interests o f organized labor, ana­lyzes the present status ©f “Labor and Polities in Great Britain.” An article o f great interest to educators is“ Child Study and its Relation to Education,” by Prof, G. Stanley Hall, whose essay on “ College Philosophy” attracted so much attention some months ago. The late Secretary, of Legation at Rome, Mr.Remsen Whitehouse, writes instructively of “ Some Italian Prob­lems,” “Texas, Past and Present,” “The Hegro Problem in the South,” are titles which will attract by the timeliness and interest o f the subjects they lepresect.

❖ ❖ ❖The Midsummer Holiday Century

is chiefly notable, perhaps, as .intro­ducing a writer hitherto unkown, of whose power to interest those who “never read serial stories” the editors feel confident. The new comer, Miss Bertha Runkle, is a young woman still in her early twenties; and the scene she has chosenfor her first effort in fiction is Paris at the time of the accession of Henry IV. The story, which will run for several months, is called “The Helmet of Kavarre.” It is announced as a di'amatic romance of love and adventure, char- acterizerd by great inventiveness and by rapid and absorbing action. A- mong the characters are the King and his opponent, the Duke of Mayenne. In the department of fiction, the Aug. Century contains also a humorous monologue, “The Author’s Reading in Simpkinsville,” by Ruth McEnery Stuart, and three other short stories- by Laura E. Richards, Lillie Hamil­ton French and Mary Knowles Bart­lett,-besides an interesting instalment of Dr. Weir Mitchell’s “ Dr. Horth and his Friends.” An article that .takes the reader far afloat is John Burroughs’s first paper on the Harri- man expedition to Alaska and Bering Sea. " Of this adventurous party were John Muir, of glacier fame, and R. Swq.ni* Gifford, the painter, who is one of the illustrators. Another outdoor paper is Maurice Thompson’s “In the Woods with the Bow”<—a breezy ac­count of hits and misses in shooting at game birds, with humerons pictor­ia l’comment by Miss Cory.
