the French minister, for $1,000 a year,
"to Inspire the people with sentiments
favorable to France." No doubt the
rascal earned his money, bub who the
other members were that were thus in
spired we do not know. That such in
spiration," however, was need to a
greater or less extent, there can be no
possible doubt. One of the biograph

THE DUTY OF -MOTHERS.
Daughters Should bo Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.
What suffering frequently results
from a mother's ignorance; or moro
frequently from a mother's neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says "woman must suffer,'
pnd young women lire so taught.
There is a little truth and a great deal
cf exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina
tion; but no mother need hesitate to
v.-rite freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Tinkham and secure
the most efficient advico without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham"s address is
Lynn

The following letterf rom Miss Marie
F. Johnson, Centralia, Pa., shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:

Stbacuse, N. Y. (Special). Justice
Augustus Van Wyck, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, was given an
enthusiastic reception by the Demo
crats of Syracuse and vicinity Wednes
day night. Fully 3,000 voters were
gathered in the Alhambra, where the
meeting was held. The meeting was
presided over by Mayor James K. Mc
Guire, who referred briefly to the issues
of the campaign and also mentioned W.
J. Bryan as the logical leader of the
party. This reference to Colonel Bryan
rouBed greater enthusiasm than any
other event of the meeting.
The reception given to Col. Roose
velt and his party in Rochester Wed
nesday night vied with that which he
received in Buffalo. When the train
pulled into the depot it seemed as if
halt the population of the town was out
to welcome him. Cannons were fired,
cheers rent the air and bands, played,
and all along the route of march con
tinuous ovations met him. Two meet
ings in halls accommodating 9,000 peo
ple had been arranged, but they were
not half large, enough to satisfy the
demands. Colonel Roosevelt attended
both of them,' besides reviewing a
monster parade and his carriage could
hardly be forced through the crowds
that followed and surrounded it.
The Paris Peace Commission.
Washington, (Special). There are
indications that the peace commission
ers in Paris are approaching the end
of the consideration of the subject of
Cuba aud Porto Rico, leaving the com
mission free to take up the most impor
tant matter in the protocol, namely,
the disposition of. the Philippines. The
Spanish case has been presented with
an ability and adroitness that com
mands the admiration of diplomats,
without regard to nationality, and even
our own officials have been compelled
to yield a tribute of respect to the ar
guments produced, but notwithstand
ing, they have been of no avail in ef
fecting any substantial change in the
first attitude of the American commis
sioners, who are holding firmly to
the line of procedure originally out
lined. iMany Speeches on Fashoda.
London, (By Cable.) Wednesday
evening witnessed a great outpouring
of oratory on the Fashoda question.
Speeches were made at various places
by Hon. Chas. T. Ritchie, president of
the board of trade; Sir John Gorst,
vice president of the committee of
the council and Conservative member
of Parliament for Cambridge Univer
sity; George Wvndham, Uuder Secre
tary of State for War; Lord Edmond
Fitzmaurice aud Alfred Lyttleton,
Liberal Unionist member of Parlia
ment for Leamington. All recognized
the gravity of the situation, but de
clared that even at the risk of war, it
was impossible for Lord Salisbury to
recede from his position.
A Wet Day in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, (Special). President
McKinley and party arrived here at
noon Wednesday, but instead of find
ing tho city in the midst of the enjoy -meut
of its peace celebration, he found
a dreary, desolate conditiou of affairs,
and many thousand citizens and visi
tors in the throes of disappointment on
account of the interruption of the jubi

vailing rain storm. The President and
the members of his. cabinet present

"is the outcome of a new argument ad

that as the dispatch of the Marchand

Spanish Commissioners Relinquish All Sover

Sensational Speech. ,
Philadelphia, (Special). For three
hours Thursday, William McKinley,
commander-in-chief of the United
States army and navj', saw his victor
ious soldiers and Bailors pass in re
view before him. It was military and
naval day of the great peace jubilee.
Twenty-five thousand men marched in
the most brilliant and spectacular
pageant the country has witnessed in
many years. Within a semi-circular
enclosure of the big reviewing stand in
the magnificent court of honor, the
President stood erect and uncovered
throughout the entire procession. Here
and there, when some particularly re
nowned body of troops marched byt
the President smilingly waved his hae
and motioned the crowds across the
way to cheer the men, who were their
heroes as we'd as his. Mrs. McKinley
viewed the procession from a small
stand on the top of the conservatory
of the Lippincott mansion, imme
diately behind the larger stand, where
her eminent husband stood. She, too,
was not chary of applause. Over the
President's head hung a canopy bear
ing on its face the coat of arms of the
United States and surmounted by the
new President's flag, for the first time
unfurled in the United States. The flag
was only recently adopted by the War
Department. To the left of the stand
was the coat of arms of Philadelphia.
Spain Says Farewell to Cuba.
Paris, (By cable). The Spanish
peace commissioners have accepted the
negative view of the United States
commission toward the proposed as
sumption by the United States of tha
Cuban debt. The American commis
sioners have firmly but couiteously
declined to assume for the United
States the entire or joint responsibility
for the Spanish financial conditions.
Sen or Montero Rios, the president of
the Spanish commission, and his col
leagues, with faithful insistence,
sought another result, but they failed
to attain it. and have finally abandoned
the effort and have agreed that the
Cuban article of the protocol shall,
without conditions, have a place in the
ultimate treaty of peace.

InteresUBr Details Abont Life with the Ship's
Crew.
The average person, after reading of
thP rpcent elorious achievements of
our navy, is inclined to take it as a
matter of course that we should have

of what sterling stuff our naval he
roes are made, nor bow many long

can he rounded out into a good, fight
ing naval force.
At the same time, it Is not to be won
dered at that the average person
knows very little of the difference in
rank of officers, of their duties, of
their rigid training, arid of the hard
ships of the service before the world
ever knows of their modest efforts in
the performance of the usual monoto
nous daily routine of duty.
There are also many interesting de
tails and points of interest in connec
tion with the life of the members that
constitute the more numerous part of
the personnel of the ship's crew, viz.:
the file of the navy.
The commissioned officers who con
stitute the brains and the dirt cting
power' of the-ship being for the pres
ent disregarded, the rest of the crew
consist mainly of seamen, marines,
machinists, ' carpenters and landsmen.
The last named includes all nurses,
messengers, and all boys and men who
are empoyed at duties that can oe ,
performed by men without previous
training on seagoing vessels. These
men are enlisted for a term of years,
j and receive usually the smallest pay of
i all on board. '
The duties of carpenters and machin
ists need no explanation, and these
men also go in under enlistment, after
having passed a searching examina

The marines are what might be cal

as guards on board ship. They an

HIS HAPPENED IN KANSAS.
fiallne County Farmer la
Almost
Strangled by a Sirocco.
Dennis Sullivan, who lives west of
Brookville, is in town today marketing
his wheat and relates a strange expe
rience at his nlace. Mr. Sullivan has
heen in this country eleven years and
came to America on account of very
unpleasant domestic relations. The
incident-referred to took place Thurs
day morning about 11:30 and occurred
in a patch of rye near the Sullivan pas
ture. Mr. Sullivan went there to look
after a young calf; when he entered
the field he noticed a movement in the
grass as of some animal. But no ani
mal appeared, only some strange spirit
of the wind or unknown thing passed
over the field in a narrow zigzag path,
whirling and beating the grain in a
horrible lashing manner and coming
in Mr. Sullivan's direction. He hur
riedly stepped aside 'and only felt the
edge of this strange element as It
swept by. He, was almost strangled
and fearfully wrenched and was pow
erless to move. He saw the grass
beaten and torn, with dead leaves and
grain following the wake high in the
air after the demoniacal sirocco. The
calf which stood partially in the path
was struck on the hind leg and gave
a low bellow of fear and pain. A3
soon as Mr. Sullivan recovered he went
to the calf's assistance and found tho
flesh bruised and torn, and bones brok
en as if some mighty club had smote it.
Mr. Sullivan says the grain traversed
over and the grass also had died clear
to the roots. He can not account for
the terrible thing that swept upon him.
He only remembers the curse that was
hurled upon him and his household by
his aged father so many years ago in
the land beyond the sea, and is look
ing for a black-edged letter from Coun
ty Clare from his boyhood home telling
of his father's death. Salina

Grant and Onions.
An artillery officer at Fort Hancock
states that during the summer of 18'J I
General Grant telegraphed to the War
Department, "I will not move my
army without onions." The next day
three trainloads of onions were moved
to the front. At he time dysentery
was raging in the army, and Grant,
who believed that onions were a sov
ereign specific for that disease and oth
er ills that soldiers in hot climates
are subject to, had been short of on
ions for a long time, and when ordered
to move his army he declared that he
would not send the men to the "front
without a 'plentiful supply of onions.
The fame of General Grant as a fight-
er or great oatties nas oversnaaoweu
his reputation as one of the best Gen
erals ever known for taking the best
of care of his men in camps and for
providing his commands with abun
dant supplies of good food. It was
just so with Napoleon and velling
ton; both were great captains and mili
tary geniuses, but they did not. forget
to attend to the details of the com
missary departments, and Instructed
their commissary officers to provide
good food and plenty of it to men mak
ing campaigns. Both were strong ad
vocates for plenty of onions. The sol
diers afflicted with dysentery ,who
have gone to their homes would do
well to eat plenty of onions. New

Some sailors on board of her ma

leave "of absence to go into the inte

afterward they were brough back
by some Burmans, who had fed them
and showed them the way home. The
Burmans immediately returned to
their village, and though the then chief
commissioner, the late Sir Charles Ait-
chlson, endeavored to find them in or
der to reward them, I believe he never
succeeded. It caused a good deal of
comment in Rangoon at the time. I
think it is interesting, as showing the

how it saves the Barman from that

Globe Trust Co., Chicago, 111.
These bonds are a first mort
gage upon the entire plant,
including buildings, land and
other property of an Industrial
Company located close to Chi
cago. The Company has been estab
lished for many years, is well
known and doing a large and
increasing business.
The officers of the Company
are men of high reputation,
esteemed for their honesty and
business ability. They have
made so great a success of this
business that the bonds of this
Company are rarely ever offered
for sale.
A lew of these bonds came in -to
our hands during the hard
times from parties who had
purchased them several years
ago. We "toffer them in issues
of $100.00 each for $80.00 and
accrued interest.
For security and a largo
interest rate these Industrial
Bonds are recommended as
being among the best.
First-class bonds and securities
of all kinds bought and sold.
