President Roosevelt is shaved every day. Straw hats have again appeared on the scene. Mayor Carter IIarrison,of Chieago, completed his forty-second year last Thursday. England is going to coin 2 pieces in gold. They will be about the size of our $10 coins. Private McCulloch, of the Guards Reserves, an Irishman ofGfootlOJ, is now the tallest man in the British army. The Duke of Argyll is endeavor ing to acclimatize wild Canadian turkeys and geese on the shores of Loch Fyne, Argyllshire. Despite his great success and wealth Richard Croker is said to be disap pointed and embittered over his fail ure to become a national Democratic leader. The first act of honesty Congress ' owes the Philippines is an act giving them honest money. Dishonest money is always followed by an end less train of other dishonesties. A subsidized English theatre is projected in Paris, with the object of enabling French students to become familiar with the English language. The seheme is favored by the uni versity professors. Baroness Burdett-Coutts, now 88 years of age, intends to look at King Edward VII-'s coronation proces sion out of the same windows from which she looked on Queen Vic toria's 64 years ago. Citizens of Charleston, S. C, are urging that the name of Meeting street, one of the widest and most important in their city, be changed to Hampton avenue, in memory of the late General Wade Hampton. Chicago, April 27. Hon. J. Ster ling Morton, former Secretary of Ag riculture, died this afternoon at the home of his son, Mark Morton, at Ijake Forest, 111. Last November Mr. Morton contracted a severe cold while speaking at the stock show in CbicagoAn attack of grip followed, and ifom this he never entirely re covered. A week ago he suffered a stroke of apoplexy. The immediate cause of his death was inflammation of the bronchial arteries. An eggshell farm is a part of one of the primary school departments of study in Buffalo. Each child takes an e:-.-he.il about two-thirds whole. The child's name is written on the shell and after a lesson on soils suf ficient earth is placed in the shell to fill it. Each one in a room is given the same kind of seed to plant. Af ter the plant becomes too large for the shell the child is encouraged to take it home and plant in a garden. The teachers aim to teach the com pleted history of the plant from seed to seed. Sol Smith Russell, the actor, who had been in poor health for several years, died at his home in Washing ton yesterday afternoon. Mr. Russell had been afflicted for some years with intermittent attacks of par alysis, the last of which came upon him Friday night. Sol Smith was one of the quaintest and- most de lightful of comedians with a manner almost entirely his own. In gentle, humorous, wistful characters,shrewd and a little awkward, he was unsur passed, and in some respects his art was not unlike that of Joseph Jeffer son. Mr. Russell was born in Maine In 1848. He was a drummer boy in the JQnion army during the civil war. SHOT AND CAPTURED. Negro Had to be Sho! Before He Could be Captured. Constable Troy Smith, who lives in the Hood Swamp section of this county, br u htin a prisonerWednes day whom he had to shoot before catching. The prisoner is a negro who had been stealing promiscuous ly in the neighborhood. Pie had made threats and had the people afraid of him, so the constable says. In his yard at home he had severaj hundred pounds of iron which he had stolen from steam mills. He would go to a mill and take off all taps and small pins of iron that he could carry off. Wednesday morning Constable Smith got a Greene county officer to go with him aud they overtook the negro, whose name is Wesley Sut ton, just across the Greene county line. When ordered to stop the negro started to run and Constable Smith drew his pistol and shot the negro in the hip. He ran a few yards and fell. Before the officers could get to him he was on his feet and drew an axe that he had with him. One of the officers, engaged his attention while the other one grabbed the axe. The negro had a pistol, two small pieces of iron and two rocks in his pocket. He was brought to this city and placed in jail. The wound from the pistol shot is not of a serious na ture, so it is said. EDUCATIONAL WORK. The Southern Educational Board that met Southern Educators last week at Athens, Ga., and that has an ample fund at its disposal, in cluding a gift of $1,000,000 from John D. Rockefeller, consists of some of the most eminent philanthropists and millionaires in the country. It is a branch of the National Educa tional Board, of which W. II. Bald win, Sr., is president. The object of these boards is to formulate a practicable plan by means of which money from gener ous givers will be expended in the South for the education of whites and blacks by practical and thoughtful men. The plan will be devised by Southern minds and the expenditures will be guided by Southern hands. The object of the boards was thus ex pressed by a Northern man at Ath ens in these words: "You have shown us that the South is trying heroically to deal not only with the negro, but with great unprivileged masses of its white population. You understand your own people and your own prob lems as we do not. This work is, therefore, yours. Take it and do it. In so far as we can help you, we are at vour service. We have no desire to meddle or interfere. If you will take the helm we will stand by you, I not as northerners but as fellow citi zens of a common country." Vast sums of money can be pro cured by Mr. Baldwin and his asso ciates if they can show good results, and this they will try to do. Edgar Gardner Murphy, formerly a clergy man 'of Montgomery, is secretary of the Southern Education Board, and he recently stated that a strong ef fort would be made to teach whites and blacks alike how to make a liv 4ig, and communities which help themselves will be the ones first helped by the board. For example, when Guilford county raised $4,000 by local taxation for a normal train ing school, the board added $4,000 from its treasury. This indicates theirgeneral policy. No great gifts will be made, but every dollar will be quietly and thonghtfully placed fwhere it will do the most good. Instead of crying out, "Stop eat ing meat," as an orator in the Chi cago Federation of Labor recently did, he should have shouted, "Pull down the tariff-for-trusts, the sacred tariff written on the Dingley tables that are now preserved in the Re publican temple." THE ONLY True Blood FurlCe. prominenily in the public eye to day is Hood's Sarsaparilla. Therefor et Hood's and ONLY HOO Foods to Avoid. It is well to- refuse the sausage brought to your breakfast table If it is stale and to refrain from using the cream in yotir coffee if it is the least bit sour. Otherwise you run the risk of becoming blind. Some foods, it is said, are most inju rious to the sight. "A case was brought under the notice of an eye specialist," says The Dioptic Review, "in which the eyes of a whole family were af fected by eating rabbit pie. In each in stance the patient had become afflicted with a peculiar defect of vision that is technically known as 'failure of accom modation.' Stale sausage and sour cream cause a weakening of the sight known as 'amblobia.' Blindness result ing from eating tainted fish has been found almost impossible to cure, and quinine is often responsible for some persons' half blind condition. This drug affects the optic nerve in a man ner that sometimes ends in blindness." It might be added that alcohol occa sionally makes people "blind." Water and the Kidneys. As the waste in animal food in those who lead indolent lives is carried off by the kidneys it is very desirable that they should be kept well flushed with plenty of water, for pure water is to the kidneys what fresh air is to the lungs, and taken in the early morning, preferably as hot as it can be sipped. It washes away the unhealthy secre tions that have accumulated in the stomach during the night"?ind stimu lates it to healthy action, and then, passing on through the system till it reaches the kidneys, carries away by their aid the uric acid, gout poison and other impurities that should have no fixed habitation in the body at all and would not have if the sufferer were properly dieted for even two or three weeks each year. A Very Otd Ensliah Cloth. Fustian is a species of. cotton cloth much used by the Normans, particular ly by the clergy, and appropriated to someorders for their cashubles. The Cistercians were forbidden to wear them made of any material but linen or fustian. A stronger description as first manufactured in England at Nor wich, temp. Edward VI. It was much used for doublets and jackets in the fifteenth "century, at which time it appears to have been Im ported from Itr.ly. "Fustians of Na pies" are named in a petition to parlia ment from the manufacturers of Nor wich i:i l."i-4. The name was corrupted in England into "futianapes" and "fus tian and apes" i. e., "fustian a Na ples." Notes and Queries. Heidelberg; Castle. The castle of Heidelberg is the lar gest In Germany. It stands 330 feet above the Neckar river and was occu pied as a castle as early as A. D. 1294. In a cellar in one corner of the ruins is the famous "tun" or monster cask, capable of holding 49,000 gallons. This was for the storage of wine used by the nobility who dwelt in this castle."-, OREGON WILL LEAD OFF. No State election will occur this year until June 2 when Oregon wrill elect a governor, legislature and members of Congress. The term of Governor Geer will expire next Jan uary, and the new governor will hold office four years. The legisla ture meets bi-annually. The tickets on each side have been placed in nomination, and the plat form of the Democrats assails the Dingley tariff and its creatures, the trusts, and demands the election of Senators by the people and the ini tiative and referendum. Governor Geer, a Bepublican, was elected in 1898 by 10,651 plurality, and Mr. McKinley carried the State in 1900 by a plurality of 13,141, but before 1898 the State was hotly con tested, the majority either way being small. McKinley's plurality in 1896 was about 2,000. The State will be well contested in the next six weeks, and a vote de nouncing the general governmental policy in Cuba and the new posses sions, and the Dingley tariff would put new life into the Democratic party in other States. The two con gressmen of Oregon are both Repuh licans, and their defeat would be in terpreted as a. warning that the party which fosters trusts and mergers into capitalism in general is no longer wanted by the people. There-are prophets on both sides of the fence in Oregon, and one will haye to wait until June 2 before a definite idea of ! the trend of public sentiment in Ore gon can be ascertained. CCUGHLAN Ci UKESS. IThlcasro's Been Ernramel Alderman Shocked at New Yorker's Blunder. They do such things in some western towns, but Alderman Dickinson of Brooklyn has set the fashion in the effete east by appearing at the alder manic reception to Prince Henry in the city hall of New York the other after noon In a full dress suit, spike tail coat, low cut vest, white cravat and all, says the New York Evening World. One explanation is that Alderman Dickinson's everyday suit met with a mishap. . Another is that his evening dress suit had never been worn before and this was the first opportunity the gentleman from Brooklyn had to dis play himself in it. "Bathhouse John" Coughlan, the In comparable refulgent poem in galli gaskins of Chicago, was inexpressibly shocked when told that Alderman Dick inson of New York appeared in a dress suit at the afternoon reception to Prince Henry. "Bathhouse," also an alderman, feels that Mr. Dickinson has put a crimp In the reputation for good taste that aldermen have always en Joyed. "Anybody but an alderman!" sobbed Bathhouse John.' "Anybody but an alderman T "Here In Chicago," he continued when he had recovered from his emo tion, "we have one foul blot upon the fair name of our city that Is a dead ringer for the smudge which Alderman Dickinson has put upon New Ytrk. Wo gave a breakfast to the Infanta Eulalia at the time of the World's fair, and Mr. Higginbotham, one of our foremost citizens, came up to the trough wearing his after 6 p. m. "Bear In mind he wasn't an alder man. All the aldermen who attended that breakfast wore cutaways and plug hats. But the sartorial faux pas of Mr. Higginbotham made Chicago the laughing stock of theworld for many years. t "Now we have the laugh on New York. But I am deeply grieved- that an alderman Is the cause of it. I am proud to say that I have the aldermen of this town trained. At the reception to the prince here, If I am Invited, I shall wear a purple colored dress- suit with pearl buttons and a red vest. Remember, it will be at night. Alder man Dickinson ought to have written to me." A HENLEY FOR FRANCE. SC. Deatach "Will Con-vert a Little Town Into Smart Sporting: Center. M. Deutsch, already known in sport ing circles for his generous endowment of the aerial navigation prize won by M. Santos-Dumont, has another big scheme In preparation, writes the Paris correspondent of, the London Tele graph. He means to create a Frencn Henley which will be able to give points to the original institution. Men Ian, the charming little town on the Seine below Poissj, Is tne chosen spot. There M. Deutsch, withithe assistance of various clubs, Intenls starting a French center not only 6 aquatic, but of all sports, except, so facas can be ascertained, horse racing, coursing and similar amusements of a special char acter. The most prominent place will be given to boating, and It is hoped that Meulan week will eventually rival that of Henley for smartness as well as by the businesslike character of the ar rangements generally and the interest of the contests held. But other spores. Whether of a traditional or of a very modern kind, will also hold their own at Meulan. Automobilism will have its sheds and workshops, links will be set apart for golf, tennis courts, cycle and foot racing paths will be laid out. and not least there will be an "aero drome." The last named establishment will consist of premises over which Will take place the finish of the airship race promised for next summer and where the aerial vessels will come to earth. RAILWAY MAPS. A Dtssraniled Passenger's Comments on the Straight Une. Variety. "L.ook at that," said an ill, natured passenger, pointing to a large map on thevall of the railway statical.. "Isn't thafan abominable fraud?" "What's the matter with It?" "asked his mild companion. - , "Look how it Is distorted," said the other. "There is a map of & railway system from Chicago to New York. It is made to appear .as following a straight line between these two cities, and yet on the, map it appears to pass through every large town within 500 miles of 'that line. "Just notice that towns like Cincin nati ana Cleveland are so misplaced as to appear only a few miles apart, ancl Nashville, Tenn., is pulled 500 miles from its real location. I wonder they have not transported New Orleans a thousand miles northeagt, so n as to bring it on the line of their railway fraud. - "Congress ought to take hold of this fake," he continued, "and punish heav ily every railroad that' issues a dis torted map." Chicago Inter Ocean. J Tommy Atkins to Kipling. O Klppw, Ruddy Kipper, you 'ave bin and broke my 'eart By the nonsense you 'ave bin and wrote and thort so bloomin' smart. I've read your verses, Kipper; I 'ave got the bloomin' lot . And relished ev"ry word you wrote -until you wrote this rot. O Kipper, Ruddy Kipper, what made you sit and write Of "flanneled fools" and "muddled oafs!" Now, was you bloomin? tight? If so, own up, man; most of us ave bin like that before And 'ope to be again, please Gawd, when we 'ave done the war. O Kipper, Ruddy Kipper, you "ave seen us on the veldt And know 'ow sweet our baccy tastes and 'ow our dinners smelt. But you seem to 'ave forgotten 'ow we loved to pitch the stumps And 'ave a bit of practice and 'od rot the bloomin' bumps. O Kipper, Ruddy Kipper, was our good old chief a fool 'Cause 'e bossed the regimental team and batted powerful cool Whenever there seemed danger that a lickln' we would get? No, Kipper; he were just our sort and took us right, you bet! O Kipper, Ruddy Kipper, do you see that corpril there, With mud enough upon 'is shirt, but near . the ball. I'll swear? You wouldn't go to call 'lm "oaf" if '13 tunic you could see, Vor It bears the blood red badge of pluck, the coveted V. C. O Kipper, Ruddy Kipper, when you lay twixt life and death. When we opened up the paper so's you couldn't 'ear a breath In all the sweatin' barrik room to see If him as rules Ad taken you to glory, was we blarsted "oafs" and "fools?" O Kipper, Ruddy Kipper, you can call us what you like; We forgiye you, strite; It isn't that; of fense we'd never taike. But It's your own reputation that you've bin and damned today And so brought lastin' sorrer on your good old friend T. A. London Truth. KILLIiNiG A LION. A Sliot at Short Range Upon Wbioh Much Depended. An Englishman who lived many years in Africa relates a thrilling expe rience which befell his family there. His home at the time was in the edge of the Transvaal . wilderness, and it was there that the event occurred. One evening about dusk my wife and child were sitting on the veranda of the bungalow. I was engaged a few rods away putting the finishing touches to a bit of wagon repairing. The serv ants .were at the rear of the house. It was one of those peculiarly quiet even ings when nothing seems to break the stillness. Suddenly I felt, rather than saw, something moving near the veranda. I looked more closely and to my horoor perceived an enormous lion stealing along the ground in the direction of my wife and child. My wife saw the crea ture at the same instant and, despite her terrorj fortunately remained per fectly motionless and silent. Scarcely knowing what to do, I has tily crept toward the side of the bun galow to the open window of my room, where I knew a loaded rifle 'was lean ing against the wall. I climbed In at the window, seized the rifle and leaped by anothef window upon the veranda. There was no time to think. T-he lion was within a few feet of my dear ones and crouching for a spring. I called softly to my wife not to move and then fired. The ball passed directly over my boy's head and lodged in the forehead of the lion immediately above the eyes and stretched him on the ground. There was an instent of fearful sus pense. Then I fired again, but the sec ond bullet was not necessary, for the Hon had been killed at the first shot. Sir Boyle Roche's Bulls. Sir Boyle Roche was the father of "bulls." It was he that asserted that "the best way to avoid danger is to meet it plump." At another time in conveying a warm invitation to a friend he remarked, "I hope, my lord, if eer you come within a mile of my house that you'll stay there all night." He may have been the fool of the G rattan parliament, but there was a great deal of native shrewdness hidden away behind all his foolishness. To Curran When the latter once exclaimed in the midst of a debate that he need ed aid from no one and could be "guardian of his ow.n honor" Sir Boyle instantly interjected his sarcastic con gratulations to the honorable member on his possession of a sinecure. But possibly the gem of his rhetoric was the picture which he conjured up on one jaccasion to bring- home to his hear ers the excesses f the French revolu tionary mob: "Here perhaps, sir, the murderous marshal law men (Marsellleise) would break in, cut ns to mincemeat and throw our bleeding heads on that table to stare ns in the face."' London Ex press. The Castellanes have a son, and the Gould millions will after a while be subject to more drafts from France. SICK MADE-IEU , WEAK MDE STRGHG.
