TO A N N EX H A W A II.

Treaty Signed In W ashington and Sent to tha Senate.

ly a o p ill of President McKinley'* S eiaace—Terms of the Agree­

ment — J a p a n Eater* a

Washington, Jane IT.—In the great diplomatic room of the -state de­partment where four years and four months ago, in the closing hours of the Harrison administration, the first Ha­waiian annexation treaty was signed, only to be withdrawn from the sen­ate and thrown into a pigeon hole, the representatives of the governments of the United States and Hawaii gathered .Wednesday morning and signed a treaty by the terms of which, if ratified, the little island republic will become a part of the territory of the United States.

For the United States there were Sec­retary Sherman, Assistant Secretaries Day, Adee and Cridler, Private Secre­tary Babcock and Assistant Private Secretary Gaytree. On the Hawaiian side were Minister Hatch, Lorrin A. Thurston and W. A. Kinney, all for this particular occasion accredited as spe­cial commissioners duly empowered to negotiate a treaty of annexation.

Protest from Japan.Before the final signature of the docu­

ment the secretary of state was present­ed • formal protest by the Japanese government, through its legation here, against the consummation of the agree­ment. The protest is understood to be based on apprehension that the special treaties now existing between Japan and Hawaii, under which the Japanese enjoy advantages, will be affected in­juriously by complete annexation.

T r e a ty R e a c h e s th e S e n a te .The treaty for the annexation of the

Hawaiian islands reached the sfenate chamber at five o’clock Wednesday. The senate at once went into executive session, and as soon bb the doors were closed the message of President Mc­Kinley, accompanying the treaty, and the treaty itself were read to the sen­ate.

Characters: Jack (a bachelor) and Kitty (his BiBter, who has just become engaged).

Kitty (nervously)—Well, aren’t you going to congratulate me?

Jack—It isn’t a very great compli­ment to congratulate the lady, is it?

Kitty—Sisters don’t expect compli­ments, fortunately. But really I thought you liked Ilarry Baxter im­mensely. ,

Jack—Did you?Kitty (still nervously)—Yes, I did.

And I’m Bure he’s very nice and a very good sort—everyone sayB so.

J a c k Do they?Kitty—Yes, they do. And so you

ought to like him, and—and—well, 1 think I’m a very lucky girl.

Jack—All girls say that. It’s part , of the formula. Baxter is probdbly tell­ing his friends that he’s the luckiest man in the world (not that 1 disagree with him, of course)—that’s part of the man’s formula, you know—and it isn’t likely that you've both made such annnt-nf-thp-vvny fonrnrntin_ *

Kitty (deciding to make an appeal ad misericordlam)—Yes, but Jack, aren’t you going to congratulate me? Naturally, I expected my brother’s good wishes for my happiness almost first of all, and—and—(Breaks down a lit­tle fictitiously).

Jack*—My dear girl, If you’re happy o f (?oi!rs0 I'm simply d?]!?ht?d. Hoy? could I be otherwise?

Kitty (still unsatisfied)—That’s a lit­tle cold, isn’t it?

Jack—Well.ffI don’t see how I could well say much more.

Kitty (impetuously)—Jack, you dis-

"ALL GIRLS SAY THAT." like H arry; you—you hate him. I do believe you hate him.

Jack—No, I don’t.Kitty—O, do be sensible, then. What

do you mean?Jack—Really, I don’t quite know.

I’ve scarcely hod time to grasp the s it­uation yet. I think, perhaps, I’m just a little more amused than anything else.

K itty—Amused I At your sister’s en­gagement! Well, really. Jack. I didn't expect—(Breaks off upon a sudden in­tuition). . Ob, I know; you are still sore

about that absurd little friend of yourau Mr. Whitel

Jack (with brazen untruthfulnesa)— I wasn't thinking of him a bit, but, aa you have mentioned it, 1 do think you treated him rather badly.

Kitty—Ridiculous |iersonlJack—You never let him know you

thought so till he proposed to you.Kitty—Of course not. I never dreamt

of his having the impudence to do such a thing.

Jaok—And yet by that very impu­dence he paid you the greatest possible compliment in the world.

Kitty—Absurd creature!Jack (righteously)—A girl's mind

beats me. However U ttleyou might have felt disposed to accept the offer—

Kitty—Very little disposed, 1 assure you.

Jack—1 should have thought that you would have felt yourself under a cer­tain obligation to*hlm—at all events, grateful for bis admiration.

Kitty—Of course notlJack—1 know. But 1 don’t under­

stand it. If 1 were a girl 1 should feel like that, Vm sure, i t would be only decqnt, and—well—the sporting thing to do. (Sardonically) At least, X sup­pose you don't include his taste In your general condemnation?

Kitty—1 simply regarded him as Im­pertinent.

Jack—Was Baxter impertinent?Kitty—No; that’s very different.Jack—But is It so very different?

Now, If you bad fulfilled your original ideals—

Kitty—What ideals?Jack (relentlessly)—Why, the artil­

lery officer with tbs Victoria Cross, the honorable saber cut and the numerous other decorations—

Kitty—1 said all that when I was a child.

Jack—Let’s see, what is Baxter?Kitty—He’s in business.Jack—What?Kitty—A large drapery b u sin ess-

wholesale, of course. But it’s not, alter all, what he is—

Jack—But what he Isn’t.Kitty (irrelevantly) — You are

pleased, Jack, aren’t you?Jack—Are you very fond of him?Kitty (shyly)—Yes, very. Well?Jack (who secretly has no great opin­

ion of Baxter, and has blackballed him before now at the club)—Of course I am pleased, dear, If you are (kissing her). I have no doubt Baxter is a very good fellow indeed. Sorry I don’t know him better. He’s not the man I thought you’d marry, that’s all.

Kitty—Why not?Jack (vaguely)—O, I don’t know.

Well, for one thing he’s been hanging around for a long time, and I thought at one time you told me you disliked him.

Kilty—I may have Baid so. I didn't understand him then.

Jack—He's made you understand him, Kitty, that’B what it is. Fact la— (rashly venturing on a general princi­ple)—that any man can marry any woman he pleases if he can put up with some snubbing to begiu with. You've backed down a bit, you know, Kitty, and there’s no man who can’t simply wear down opposition If he tries long enough— g

Kitty—Nonsense! Sheer nonsense! (Triumphantly) How about Mr. White, then?

Jack—He made the mistake of taking your refusal quite seriously, pool* chap.

K ltfv l in d i t rn a n t lv l—I shou ld honnUC ului

Jack (brightening up)—By Jove, l- shall never make that mistake!

Kitty (laughing)—I think you’ve made it already.

Jack (rather confoBed)—You mean nbout Ethel Graham?

Kitty—Of course I do. You know quite well Ethel w ill never have you. She's tola me as much—ever so often.

Jack—O, I know she oarrics her head pretty high. It’s true she simply wouldn’t look at me last year. But perhaps this year, or next year, or even the year after that; or if not then, why—

Kitty (shaking her head)—I don’t think so.

Jack (sm iling)—Well, we’ll see.— Black and Wfiite.

Chicago, June 18.—As originally con­stituted, the American Railway union went out of existence Thursday night, and with its doors thrown open to the accredited delegates of all reform bodies und trade unions, the delegates of the old railroad organization will this morning begin business under the title of the Social Democracy of America. This is the organization of which Mr. Debs has been writing and talking for the last six months or more, and it is the one which will become re­sponsible for the cooperative com­monwealth effort which it is proposed to undertake in some western state.

Woe In India.Calcutta, June 17.—Further reports

of the destruction caused by the earth­quake laBt Saturday show that great damage was done at Dacca, Jamaltur und Murshidabad. At the latter place the nawab had u miraculous escape. Great injury was done to the planta­tions of Assam, Cachar and Duaro. A number of factories and machine houses have been wrecked at the three places named. At Krishnagar, Mymr.n- dingh and Silkot all the courts and treasuries have been demolished. Ter­rible reports are coming in from Assam. At Shilong everything has been lev­eled to the ground. An inspector ofnrtonno hnc honn 1/illoH onH thonnAbeen many deaths in the public offices in the military lines and in the ba­zar. The official records have been burned at Gaubati, where the roads are now crossed by wide chasms. The rail­road has vanished in that vicinity, and at Coulpara a tidal wave has destroyed the bazar and all the other buildings, and tbp 5p!ghborln*’f country ie coy- ered with fissures which are spurting mud and sand. Numbers of buildings have been destroyed at Shubri, where the rii er bank has subsided, floodingall the country and ruining the crops. There has been heavy loss of life at Coalpara and Shubri.

Affects Pension Claims.Washington, June 18.—Assistant Sec­

retary Davis, of the interior depart­ment, has rendered a decision that will affect many claims for pensions. He reversed the action of the pension of­fice in the case of Catherine Geronzin (a widow of a soldier in the Ohio in­fantry), which rejected the claim for pension because there was no proof of the death of the soldier. Geronzin left home in July, 1866, since which time nothing has been heard from him. The assistant secretary holds that further inquiry should be made concerning the man. and if nothing is thereby devel­oped throwing additional light on the case, death may be presumed under the act of March 13, 1896j^mhking seven years’ absence from home, without in­telligence of his existence, sufficient for a presumption of death.

W heel Records Broken.Cambridge, Mcf&s., June 18.—At the

Charles River Park Michael and Mc­Duffie rode a 15-mile race, paced, under the auspices of the Massachusetts Ath­letic association, and Michael won in the record time of 29:10, cmtjting the mark held by himself of 31^K&5, and making new marks for each mile, one to fifteen inclusive.

London, June *2.—Queen Victoria left Windsor castle a t noon. Her majesty's carnage was drawn by a pair of grays, with postilions and outriders. The queen was accompanied by her eldest daughter, ex-Empresa Frederick of Germany and by Princess Christian ot Schleswig-Holstein and Princess Henry of Battenberg, whio occupied another carriage, preceding that of her majesty.

“The Queen’s Train," used for the first time Monday, was drawn up cloBe to the entrance door. The magnificent engine, “Queen Empress," beautifully painted and picked out with gold leaf,

QUEEN VICTORIA

carried the royal arms emblazoned in gold and colors in front and royal her­aldic devices over the splashboards of the driving wheels. The train was com­posed of six carriages built on the American corridor system and con­nected by the rubber covered passages so common in the states. The queen’s car­riage, which is 54 feet long, occupied the center of the train.

Cheered All Along the Route.The start for London was made at

12:10 a. m., and for almost the entire distance the train passed between scat­tered groups of loyal people. Every station of the Great Western between Windsor and Paddington had been dec­orated. The railway employes every­where stood at the salute, while the platforms were crowded with cheer­ing people.

The Ride to Buckingham Palace.The route to Buckingham palace was

via Oxford and Cambridge terrace, Grand Junction roads and Edgware road to the Marble arch, thence by Hyde park and Constitution hill.

Over the distance, excepting the por­tion of Great park, every house in the background of the picture was superb­ly decorated, flags, flowers, banners and festoons and endless mottoes on the order of the day: "God Save the Queen.” At Edgware road a hand­some triumphal arch was erected by the Paddington authorities. It was a very handsome castellated structure in imitation of gruysioue covered with ivy and bore the motto: “Thy Hearts Are Our Throne."

A second triple arch had been put up by the Mnrylebornc vestry at the bot- tpm of the Edgware road. It was cov-«-< .-.1 ..lib n imauu niniii. flowers and j flags and bore the motto: “God Bless Our Queen.”

On the right of the palace gateway, the duchess of Connaught and her chil­dren and some of the Battenbergs awaited the arrival of her majesty.

A few minutes before one o’clock a hoarse roar of cheering in the distance announced the approach of the queen.

The queen, after ahe entered the pal­ace, proceeded to her private apart­ments for luncheon, anq the royal and other guesta had lunch in the state sup­per room.

d ie s * Receive* tke Roywl Savor*.In the afternoon at four o'clock in the

Bow drawing-room of Buckingham palace her majesty received the im­perial aud foyal envoys. The room Is 64 feet long, finely propor­tioned and richly decorated. The dais canopied In velvet wee carpeted with royal Axminater, the gift of the women of England at the suggestion of the duchess of Teck, e beautiful exumple of the carpet weaver's art made at Bridg­north, Shropshire. 1

Halted State* Special Envoy*.United States Special Envoy Hon.

Whitelaw Held, Gen. Nelson A. Miles,U. S. A., Bear Admiral J. N. Miller, U. S. N„ and the members of the United States special embassy reached the palace a few minutes after two o'clock.

They all wore evening dress with the exception of the American officers, and the republican simplicity of their at­tire was in startling contrast to the brilliancy of the uniforms around them. The American party was received by the master of ceremonies and conduct­ed by one of the queen's equerries to a marquee in the gardens, where lunch was served.

Mr. Beid, however, did not go to the garden, but was escorted to the state supper room, only hiB suite being en­tertained in the marquee. Mr. Beid was received by the prince of Wales in the most cordial manner.

The envoys were conducted to her majesty’s presence by the queen's mas­ter of ceremonies and were introduced by the marquis of Salisbury, the premier and minister of foreign af­fairs.

The queen was dressed in black, wore a widow’s cap, the ribbon of the Order of the Garter and some orders. She sat in a gilded chair near the center of the room, the prince of Wales stand­ing immediately behind her. At-her right hand was the princess of Wales, and others of the royal family were near her majesty or scattered about the room. The duke of Auerstadt and the duke of Sotomayor, representing, re­spectively, France and Spain, preceded the United States envoy, Mr. Beid being third, and followed by the papal envoy, Mgr. Sambucetti. All the envoys pre­sented their letters with the lowest obeisance. The queen took each let-

Qneen Row* to Her Subject*.The queen was dressed in black, and

bowed slowly to the right and to the left, to the greetings of the subjects. She looked pleased, did not wear spec­tacles, and appeared no more tired than any lady of her age might be expected to be. Empress Frederick, who sat beside her n^ajesty, was also dressed in black. Princesses Christian and Batten­berg sat opposite the queen and the empress. Princess Christian wore n lilac costume, and Princess Henry of Battenberg was dressed in black. Two 8cotch gillies rode behind the carriage. As soon as it entered the palace yard foe carriage passed direct to the quad­rangle, Princess Henry of Battenberg waving her hand as she passed, to her children, who, with the duchess of Con­naught, saluted ber majesty amidst an enthusiastic renewal of the cheering and waving of handkerchiefs.

HON. WHITELAW REID.ter and smilingly addressed two or three sentences of thanks and compli­ments to each envoy.

Mr. Reid was received in the most cordial manner possible.' Her majesty expressed her sincere thanks to Presi-

of our kinsmen.” After Mr. Beid had retired he strolled about the palace a. little and went home at 4:15 p. m.

Queen Victoria looked very well in­deed and seemed to be entirely pleased and interested in everything. She im­pressed all the envoys with the sin­cerity of her flanks for the national compliments paid to her.

A R o y a l F u l l D r e s s B a n q u e t .The queen at 8:45 in the evening en­

tertained at dinner 90 of her most dis­tinguished guests in the state supper- room at Buckingham palace. Among those present were the prince and princesB of Wales, with all the members of the royal family, the royal guests, the envoys of states with the rank of ambassador, and the great officers of the household, who wore full court dress. During the progress of the ban­quet music was discoursed by the band of the royal engineers. The suites of the envoys and the ladieB aud gentlemen in attendance dined in the garden vesti­bule; the yeoman of the guard were on duty in the grand hall and vestibule.

After the dinner the queen proceeded from the grand salon to the ballroom to receive her guestB, the envoys and their suites, the Indian princes, the officers of the imperial forces and of the native Indian escorts and the offi­cers of the queen’s German regiment. The colonial premiers, with their wives, were presented to her majesty by Mr. Chamberlain, secretary of state fortfoe colonies, and suites of royal and othev guests were presented severally by their chiefs. The great officers of Btate attended in full court dress. Mesdames Whitelaw Beid, Nelson A. Miles and Ogden Mills, were presented by the queen’s special command.

Jabllee Honor*.Among the list of jubilee honors is

one for the Canadian premier, Wilfrid Laurier, who is made a privy coun­cilor. 8ir Donald Smith, the'Cnnadian high commissioner in London,Jias been elevated to the peerage. Alt \the co­lonial premiers, William E. Leeky, the historian, and Sir Herbert Maxwell, the author, have been made privy coun­cilors foe prince of Wales is made grand

master and principal knight of tbs Grand Cross of the Bath; an earldom is conferred upon Baron Egerton of Tatton and peerages are conferred up­on the earl of Glasgow, Viscount Downe, Justice Lopes, Bt. Hon. Ion Trant Hamilton and Sir <Tohn Burns. The mayors of Leeds and Sheffield are made lord mayors, and foe lord mayor of London, George Faudel Phillips, Is made a baronet. Bancroft, the actor, Is knighted.

Sensation In Honae • t Common*.London, June.22. — In foe house of

lords Monday foe government benches were crowded, though there were fewer peers present on the opposition bench­es. The marquis of Salisbury, amid cheers, moved, and the earl of Kimber­ly, the liberal leader in the house of lords, seconded an address of congratu­lation to the queen upon the occasion of her jubilee. The motion was carried unanimously.

In the house of commons a similar resolution was moved by Mr. Balfour,

R E A R A D M I R A L J . N . M I L L E R .

first lord of the treasury, and was sec­onded by Sir William Harcourt, the liberal leader. Mr. Dillon, chairman of the Irish parliamentary party, pro­tested in Vehement language. Mr. John Bedmond, the Poynellite leader, offered an amendment to the effect that it deemed it a duty to place on record that during the 60 years of her majesty’s reign Ireland had suffered grievously from famine, depopulation, poverty and the continued suspension of constitutional liberties, with the re­sult that the Irish are discontented and disaffected and unable to join in the celebration. James O’Kelly, Parnell- ite, member for North Boscommon, sec­onded the motion.

Mr. Bedmond’s amendment was re­jected by a vote of 430 to 7.

The address of congratulation to her majesty was then adopted by a vote of 459 to 44.*

When the amendment was put the auti-Parnellites left the house, but they returned for the main question, and on the speaker saying: “The ayes have it," the anti-Parnellites shouted loudly:

“The noes have it,” whereupon a vote had to be taken. Mr. Balfour then moved that the address be presented to the queen by . the whole house, to which John J. Cleney, Parnellite, said that after what had occurred, the mo­tion was absurd and an absolute un­truth. A vote was then taken, and it resulted in the adoption of Mr. Bal­four’s motion by 411 ayes to 41 nocs.

DEATH AT A FUNERAL.Mr*. Scott and Mr*. Hay K illed In a

The ladies attended a funeral with the wife of D. D. Myers. They occupied a two-seated buggy, drawn by a single horse. Mrs. Myers was driving. While descending a street with a heavy grade the hold-back strap broke and the horse dashed down the hill. Mrs. Myers was first to jump and was only slightly in­jured. ’Mrs. Hay was thrown against the gutter and her neck was broken and skull crushed. Mrs. Scott remained in the rear seat until the horse plunged off the street into a yard below. ffoo fell against the curb. The horse was also killed by the faU.

FOR ARBITRATION.President McKinley Prepare* to Re­

vive Hie Peaed Treaty.Washington, June 21.—President Mc­

Kinley has determined to revive the abandoned treaty of general arbitra­tion between the United States and Great Britain. He has already turned his attention to the subjeej, and un­der the direction of Secretary Sherman the matter has progressed to the ex­tent that a new treaty already has been drafted to serve as the basis of ne­gotiations expected to result in the sub­mission of a convention to the senate to replace that which was negotiated by Secretary Olney, only to fall in the early hours of the present session.

The president alwayd has been an advocate of the settlement of interna­tional disputes by arbitration, and, though disappointed in the reception accorded the original treaty, he never has abandoned hope of being able to present the advantages of arbitration to the senate in such a light os would make it acceptable to that body. In the draft which is to be used as the basis of negotiations there are none of the objectionable points which caused the fuilure of the Olney treaty. Just how this could be arranged without sacri­ficing the vital principles of arbitra­tion cannot now be disclosed, but the parties to the work feel confident they have succeeded in doing so. It is not In contemplation that the treaty will be submitted to the senate before next December. There is felt to be no ur­gency, and official intimation has been given that as far us possible the present opecial session of congress would be de­voted to the tariff.

There is reason to believe that the at­titude of the senate toward a new treaty will be fully canvassed and understood before the treaty is signed. The experi­ence over the last treaty led the parties to it to conclude that the document itself amounted to little without an as­surance in advance that it would be likely to meet with favorable considera­tion in the senate. For that reason there will be no disposition to affix sig­natures to a new treaty until at least reasonable assurances are given that a two-thirds majority of the upper branch of congress stands ready to ratify the in­strument.

It is understood that the initiative in the present case will be taken by this government. The failure of the former treaty by the action of the senate left the subject in such a condition that the British government did not feel dis­posed to renew negotiations unless first Invited by the United States. Under these circumstances the subject would have lapsed had not officials at Wash­ington, who were deeply impressed with the far-reaching character S t an alliance between the two English-speak­ing people, taken up the question where foe senate left it, and set about devising means to overcome the objections of the Benate.

The first steps were of an informal character, and there has been an ab­sence of the usual formalities of diplo­matic negotiation, the desire being to effect results with the least possible formality.

The main objections which the senate found to the former treaty were those numing King Oscar, of Norway-Sweden, as fifth arbitrator; foe inclusion of questions of national policy, such as the Monroe doctrine and the construction of the Nicaragua canal; the exclusion ’l>f the senate from passing upon each

fixed tenure of the arbitrators.The rejected arbitration treaty was

drawn in the week preceding Christmas,1896, was signed January 11, 1897, and defeated in the senate February 20,1897.

LIGHTNING'S WORK.Set Eire to Library Building of Iowa

State University. >Iowa City, la., June 21.—The library

building of the state university was struck by lightning at four o’clock Sat­urday morning, and was destroyed by fire. The two-story brick structure, with the library on the second floor, and the physical laboratory on the first, rep­resents a Joss of $100,000. The libraries of political science and economy, his­tory, German, French, Greek, Latin, English, and a part of that of chemistry were destroyed. , These can be replaced when the state legislature meets in July. Fireman L. M. Leek was caught in the building under a falling roof and burned to death before he could be res­cued.

E U G E N E V. D E B S . ___

....

Uhlich’s hall, iu the closing hours of the first convention of the Social Democ­racy. Mr. Debs made two speeches dur­ing the day, of which he will probably not hear the last for a long time. The first of these was made at the morning session, when the model constitution for Btate unions was under considera­tion. In his speech Mr. Debs used the following language: ' •

,“ I h e a r It sa rd t h a t we will com e In co n ­t a c t w i th th e fe d e ra l c o u r t s . I suppose w s will. W h e n w e g e t po l i t ica l co n tro l o f a stat-e we w ill em ploy l a w y e r s to te l l u s Ju s t how f a r o u r r i g h t s p e rm i t u s to go.

These sentiments electrified The de£ egateB, who responded with storms of applause, and in less than two hours they were paraded in an afternoon newspaper as a declaration of war. The newspapers found their wqy into the hall during the aft<vnoon session, and Mr. Debs, in private, indignantly repudiated the incendiary remarks at­tributed to him. He declared that he had spoken guardedly of an invasion of constitutional rights. But in that case he reiterated that he and every Amer­ican citizen who is not a poltroon is ready to fight.

Within two hours afterward, how­ever, Mr. Debs made to the convention a closing speech, which contained lan­guage far more unguarded and inflam­matory. He said:

ORIGINAL "BOYCOTT” DEAD.History of the Term Which Haa Be­

come 8o Common.London, June 22.—Capt. Boycott is

dead. He was about 55 years of ape, and became famous through being the first man subjected to- the “boycott’* in Ireland. He was a land agent in 1881, in Connemara section of County Mayo, where he collated rent* for a number of landlords, notably the earl of Erne. In 1880 Mr. Parnell made a spegch in the course of which he urgea the people of Ireland to abstain from agrarian crimes and to adopt instead a policy of Bending harsh landlord agent* and bailiffs “to Cov­entry,” the old term for boycotting. Events so Bhaped themselves that Capt. Boycott was the first man the Irish ex­perimented on in this connection, and hence foe now familiar word “boy­cott.”

IMPROVED ROAD MAKING.Am I n t e r e s t i n g I n te r v ie w (v illi th e

S e c re ta ry o f A g r ic u l tu r e .The importance of good roads is rec­

ognized by all, and so is the expense necessary to produce them considered of equal significance. Upon the sub­ject William E. Curtis, in the Chicago Record, says: Secretary Wilson has given directions to Gen. Boy Stone, chief of the bureau of good roads at the department of agriculture, to con- •tt*uct a sample steel roadway at the most convenient location he can find at the Nashville exposition, where it may be seen and studied by the visit­ors who will attend during the sum­mer. Secretary Wilson thinks the ateel trackway for wagons is the easi­est solution of the good-roads prob­lem, particularly in the west, where atone and gravel are scarce and the aoil is deep and sticky.

“No road material promises so much hope to the western farmers as the flat bars of steel at the present cost of manufacture,” said the secretary, “and I propose to have sample roads built, not only at the Nashville ex­position, but at different points throughout the country, where they will afford practical object lessons to county commissioners and other of­ficials having the highways under their charge. The steel manufacturers are taking hold of the matter with

much interest, and are making experi­ments on their own account, which have already brought out valuable suggestions as to the details of con­struction. The Cambria Iron company of Johnstown, Pa., has joined heartily in the work of the department, and is cooperating in the development of our plans. Tho result has been, yiat• aww ------------------------a —. i t _ j" C i j pioiv????.*?® UVPI9 MS..8 UU AUCLMUUflof construction have been evolved, sufficient, at least, for experimental construction, and the Cambria com­pany will soon be prepared to furnish the trackway for experiments or for larger use.

“The advantage of the steel roads in the reduction of the pull required to move’a load from an average of 40 pounds per ton on macadam road to eight pounds on the ateel track is sufficient to overcome many objec­tions,” continued the secretary; "but, In fact, the objections to steel roads have mainly disappeared under the present investigations. The obstacle of original expense is overcome by the reduced price of material, and the anticipated high cost of maintenance avoided by doiAg away entirely with wood in the construction.

“The danger of horses slipping on the rail in going up and down hill is met by indenting the rails UBed on grades sufficiently to catch the calks of the shoes without roughing the tread for wheels.

‘The difficulty of low joints is met by making the joint stronger than

reetlon of building object roads at agricultural colleges and experiment stations,” continued the secretary “in accordance with the provision made by congress for aiding those in­stitutions in disseminating informa­tion on-the subject of road building. Cooperation has now been established by the director of roads under which the manufacturers of road machinery furnish the necessary plant free of charge, the county or city authorities provide the Material, and the labor of men and teams, and the government furnishes an engineer to oversee the work and instruct students and vis­itors, and pays for one or two skilled operators for the machines. In this manner a very slight outlay of public funds accomplishes a large amount of Instructive work. The work will be­gin at the New Jersey agricultural col­lege, at New Brunswick, where a fund of about $3,000 will be provided by the local authorities, and at Geneva, N. Y., where contributions have been made by the city, the experiment station and private individuals amounting to about $7,000.

“In sections where stone is very scarce,” said Secretary Wilson, "as in central Illinois, experiments are be­ing made for the construction of brick roads. At Monmouth a road has been made of a single course of vitrified brick set on edge, laid on sand, seven feet wide between curbs of oak plank and borders of broken stone to a dis­tance of two feet on each side. This road has not been in use long enough to be fully tested, but has given a very favorable impression at the outset. It has been recommended that an experi­ment be made with brick trackways for wheels and gravel between for the tread of horses, and it is quite pos­sible that steel trackways may be prof­itably substituted for brick.

“Gravel roads cost less than macadam and vary from $1,000 to $2,000 per mile. The seven-foot brick road at Monmouth, 111., cost 90 centB per run­ning foot, or $4,750 per mile. The eight-- foot brick roadB at Cleveland range from $8,000 to $13,000 per mile, but this included heavy grading. Material for steel roads of the heaviest class of pres­ent design coBt, in small quantity, about $3,500 per mile. The amount of ma­terial, however, is less than 100 tons per mile, and if the present prices of steel should be maintained material for long lines of road could be furnished for about $2,000 per mile. The lighter clasB of steel rails for ordinary country roads need not exceed 60 tons per mile, and need not costlmich over $1,000 per mile. The cost of grading and track-laying will be additional, but that need not be heavy on the western prairieB, for the rails are ull prepared to be bolted to­gether.”

n any* miother part of the track, and. the dan- /over 30,000. Almost every one of theseger of forming a rut alongside the* 1 rail is overcome by making every rtj.il { joint serve as a ‘remount’ for wheels. The form of rail proposed is an in­verted trough with a slightly-raised jbead on the inside. The rail is im­bedded in gravel laid in . a trench which is well drained. A little gravel is spread between the rails for the horse path. The rails are tied to­gether at the ends and in the middle. The present design is for an eight- inch tread, seven-sixteenths of an Inch thick.

The success of the cooperative sys­tem is brought about in the main by its predominating simplicity. No busi­ness enterprise can meet with sucqgss without a complete understanding of its details by the promoters. In the co­operative system in vogue to-day the monthly statement issued shows to each and every patron the part he has enacted to accomplish the given whole. He sees just what he has done, and whatU V~~ Vim I . Jlnll...cents. He sees just what his employes have accomplished, and sees just what they receive for the same. He knows the value of his milk product for the month in point of test. He knows the test is true, unbiased, and he questions It not. His weights arc actual. He has full confidence and pride in the en­terprise and realizes that he himself is a part of the corporate body, with rights unquestioned. On the other hand, in the case of the noncooperative cream­ery, the patron is in no way consulted as to the management of its affairs. He has no voice in the selection of ks officers. If he questions the accuracy of his weights or tests or insinuates that the price for his product is less than he reasonably supposes it should be, he is trespassing upon dangerous grounds. He has no right to an In­sight of the working of its affairs. He is simply expected to be a patron, whose duty is merely to furnish the material from which others are to make profits.

The marked success of the co­operative creamery is noticeable in al­most every locality in which it has bean established. It almost invariably In­creases the area of its territory and sup­plants all other systems, itB honest, open, simple methods winning the ad­miration of all observers. In my coun­ty, where five years ago the cooperative system was unknown, there arc to-day in successful operation 10 creameries, averaging in receipts 5,000 to 20,000 pounds of milk per day, and in the sum­mer months some of them reaching

factories supplanted ojher systems, and t is a noticeable fact that in nearly

eve^y instance the same territory under the cooperative system has largely in­creased, and in many cases doubled its product, owing to the popularity of the system and the ubshaken confidence of the producers. I predict for the sys­tem a successful future.—H. 8. Bell, in Orange Judd Farmer.

The curtain hod been rung down on the last act of that exciting melodrama, “The Power of Beer,” and thagudience was leav­ing the theater. On the /aces of the more thoughtful was an expression of sadness somewhat akin to the look wherewith a man regards the bright coin pasted on the under­side of the tobacco dealer’s cigar-case. And one man out of the throng pushed his way to the box-office"window.

“See here!" said he, excitedly; “I want my money back!”

'‘Hum,” said the ticket-seller, carelessly.“It’s an outrage!” said the man.“Yes.”“It’s a swindle!" continued the man.“Indeed.”“You advertise a real rtbbery!”“We do."“I failed to see it!”.'“You did?”“And I want my money back!”“Now, see here!” said the ticket-seller,

leaning out of the window; “I’ve had about enough, and you get no money back, see? That’s where the robbery comes in, and if you haven’t mind enough to grasp it I can’t see that there’s any kick due from you whatever!”—Boston Budget.

Her Nice Bit of Sarcasm.Therese had two distinguishing gifts. One

was sarcasm and the other was water col­ors. She and Quatorze had been engaged once and they quarreled for some reason. Neither of them seemed to know exactly why, and I suppose that neither of them care just now, for Quatorze was married the other day and the girl sent a present to the wedding.

The present was a water color done by her own deft fingers. The girl could paint well. The picture was a beautiful thing. It represented a great rock, which looked for all the world like a platform with steps lead­ing up to the top of it. Overhead was a cloudless sky, full of sunshine, and with a blue in it that made you wish that the world were all sky and that you were floating among the fleecy clouds on pinions of air. There were trees bending over that enchant­ed rock, and beyond were the shimmering waters of a lake.

“How beautiful!” exclaimed the bride. “How kind of Theresa. She’s such a dear, good girl. We will hang it in the parlor, won’t we, dear?”

“I’m afraid the light won’t be quite right,” said Quatorze aloud.

To himself he said—The water color was a picture of a rock at

Do yon know tbs reason why yon willgo to the hospital, my poor friend?

Because you have allowed yourself to go from bad to worse. You did not know that that heat, swelling and ten* demess in your left side were all signs of congestion of the ovary.

Any intelligent woman eould have told yon that congestion is fatal to tha uterine system, and that an ovary I congest- [ ed leads] to tumorl forma­tion, and that you were in awful! danger. N o w O you will ha*e to undergo the operation of ovariotomy, the cutting out of the ovary.

Yes, you will recover, at least I hop* you will; but you will never be quite the same woman again. Congestion o f the ovaries is fatal to health. If you have any such symptoms be advised in tim e; take a medicine of specifio powers! You can find none better than Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, prepared especially to meet the needs of woman’s sexual system. You can get it at any good druggist’s.

Following we publish a letter from a woman in Milwaukee, which relates how she was cured of ovarian trouble; “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—I suffered with congestion of the ovaries and inflamma­tion of the womb. I had been troubled with suppressed and painful menf trua- tion from a girl. The doctors to Id me the ovaries would have to be rem oved. I took treatment two years to escapq an operation, hut still remained ii: mis­erable health in both body and miD.C Ex­pecting to part with my reason each coming month. After using one bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com­pound and a package of Sanative Wash I vyas very much relieved. I continued to use your remedies until cured. The last nine months have been passed in perfect good health. This, I know, I owe entirely to the Vegetable Compound. My gratitude is great, indeed, to the one to whom so many women owe their health and happiness.”—Mbs. F. M. Knapp, 503 Wentworth Ave,, Milwau­kee, Wis.
