’esftaguard is not at all necessary as yet.Not Hawaii’s Sponsor.

Washington, Aug. 7. — The United 8tates will not guarantee the carrying out of terms of arbitration between Hawaii and Japan if the decision of the arbitrators be against the former. So said Secretary of State John Sherman Friday night. It was a matter between the countries in interest, he said. If the treaty of annexation la ratified be­fore the arbitration 1$ concluded, then the arbitration failed, the secretary ex­plained. He left the inference that the matter of Japan’* claim against Hawaii might then be a special subject of legis­lation by congress.

TROOPS ASKED m

Threaten lux Strike attention at Cute feen, Illy—la Pennsylvania.

Springfield, 111., Aug. 9.—Gov. Tan­ner in an interview states that he haa received no further word from Sheriff Randle, of Montgomery county, who at an early hour Sunday morning sent a call for troops at Coffeen. Gov. Tan­ner sent B. B. Bay, secretary of thqlraib; road and warehouse commission, to Coffeen, instructing him to wire a re­port of the conditions at Coffeen among the strikers. Late Sunday night Mr. Ray telegraphed that everything in quiet at Coffeen and says there la no in­dication of immediate trouble.

Coffeen is a village in Montgomery county. It is now besieged by 500 threatening strikers, who express de­termination to force the miners now at work there to drop their tools. It lx rumored that the miuers have threat* ened to fise dynamite and blow up the shafts in order to prevent work. This and other reports of a like nature in­creased the alarm of the authorities, who united with Sheriff Randle in his call for troops. President Taylor took every precaution to preserve the peace, placing the village practically under martial law. Pickets were stationed at every entrance to the village and none of the strikers were allowed to enter.

The striking miners are armed with stout hickory clubs, which they carry as a walking stick. One of them, N. A. Ocheler, of Staunton, assaulted a work­ing miner and was arrested and placed in jail in this city. When searched a revolver was found concealed in his clothing. It is thought that a large por­tion of the visiting miners are carrying revolvers. The unusual precautions taken by the authorities include a rigid censorship over the telegraph and tele­phone Bystems. Telegrams can neither be sent nor received and calls by tele­phone from Mount Olive, the connect­ing point with the outside world, am r.ot answered.

A clashes feared when the miners ap­pear for work and a company of mi­litia is greatly desired, as it is felt that 60 of them would have immense moral weight in preventing trouble. The re­quest of Sheriff Randle to Gov. Tanner to Bend state troops has been refused on the ground that the sheriff has not ex­hausted his resources. The general opinion is that the sheriff will be able to control the strikers. Good judg­ment and coolness will avert trouble, but any slight aggressive act on the part of deputies will in the excited con­dition of affairs precipitate riot and bloodshed.

According to all predictions the pea­nut crop of the United States is going to be short this year. But this does not mean that the supply will not,be suffi­cient to satisfy Uncle Sam’s small boya; for peanuts are raised in many coun­tries besides onr own, and the cost of importation is not great enough to in­crease the price materially.

Thia particular product of the earth ia known in the United States by a greater variety of names, perhaps, than any other that is so universally popu­lar. In various parts of the south it is the, “ground nut,” the “ground pea,” the “goober” (sometimeslipelled “gou- ber") and the “pindar.” Over In Eng­land it is often called the “monkey nut,” end this leads to the inference that in Africa and South Africa, where it grows wild, its edible quality first became known to man because'the monkey fed on it. One of its names all over Europe is “manilia n u t;” and this comes, no doubt, from the fact that it is exten­sively grown in the Philippine islands— where the Spaniards are now trying to put down an insurrection—of which Manilla is the capital. In France it is the “pistache de terre,” from its simi­larity to the pistachio nut in taste and the uses to which it maybe put.

A t this season of the year those who gro w peanuts are kept busy attending to the cultivation of the crop. The seeds are put into the ground in May, late enough to avoid even the latest frosts. U n t il a few years ago peanuts were planted by hand, but now a machine i s generally used which places them in row s three feet apart, distributes the phosphate which is alm ost alw ays used as a fertilizer, drops the “beans,” as the seeds are often called, in groups &f three, covers them with two inches of soil and rolls the earth firm ly— all in one operation. The cultivation of the peanut crop is very sim ilar to the cu l­tivation of potatoes, both tb ? “culti-

in g tap root. A fte r this plow, w ork­men follow w ith strong, broad fojks, w ith w hich they lift the vines and roots from the ground and lay th e m on the. ridge of so il that has been freshly turned by the plow. For a day the pods ore allowed to dry in the tun ; then the vines are stacked for curing, each stack being b u ilt about a pole that haa been driven into the ground for tha t purpose. W hen thorough ly cured the nu ts are re­moved from the roots, sometimes by hand and som etimes by* machinery. The latter i« the qnicker, more econom­ical method, but tile nuts suffer from it to some extent, and some grow ers who w ish to ge t the h ighest prices adhere to the old w ay o f hand picking. The m a­chines are worked by steam power, and both in - appearance and principle are som ewhat s im ilar to the m achines used In thresh ing wheat.

Besides the machine for p ick in g the ivuta froth the vinee, still another has .been introduced. I t is called “the blow­er,” and its function is to grade the nuts and free thein from whatever im ­purities have been left by the previ­ous process. In th is machine the nuts pass through a veJj-y strong artifi­cial blast, from the fortee of which the heaviest are first released, to fa ll into the proper receptacle for the first grade, and so on. B y this means about four grades of nuts are secured; those of the last grade— the very ligh t ones1— being practically worthless, especially as they are m ixed w ith b its of roots, broken shells, etc. I t is generally necessary to do some hand p ick in g even after the blower, and th is w ork is performed by women and children. A ll these op 6 ra- tions are lumped together by peanut grow ers and dealers under the ^compre­hensive term “refining,” and sofnetiipes a part of the refining I s done at the “factories,” or establishm ents for the purchase and sh ipm ent'o ithc nuts, that have been established in a ll peanut- grow in g regions w ith in [the past few years.

M ost of m y readers, pn^afilyy^h ink peanuts are raised solely m a t tMeyiuay be eaten by boys, but this is a p istaken notion. Few products of the soil are put to a greater variety of uses. The vines form a decidely valuable food for cattle. F rom the kernels an especially fine oil is made, which none but an ex­pert can tell from the best olive oil.' T h is oil is used in great quantities in the m ak in g of some of the finest grades

the beat, the white ones next beat, and the b ig red ones last in quality. B u t it ia a curious circumstance that the pea­nu t eaters of the elty of New York, the b iggest peanut m arket in the United States, prefer these b ig red nuts to all Other*. ___________________ ,

The harvesting takes place late in October or early In November. Care is always exercised to get this work oat of the way before frost comes, though i( possible it is put off until Just before the first visit of the icy-breathed visitor from the north. Formerly peanuts tvere taken put of the ground by hand, some­what after the manner in which pota­toes are harvested; but progressive pea­nut growers now use a plow with 8 “peanut pdint,” which is run alongside each row so as to cut off the deep grow-

applied. [ the adulteration of coffee, and still more .extensiyely in the m anufacture of cocoa and chocolate. Ground into flour, peanuts form an adm irable material for certain sorts of cakes and biscuits, and the negroes of the southern states make from it an exceedingly palatable por? ridge, besides u s in g it as a basis fo ra much appreciated beverage. The use of peanuts in candy-m aking is well known.

Authorities differ as to the botanical history of the peanut. I t is now ex­tensively grow n in Africa, South Am er- ca, India, China and the M alayan archipelago. In Europe peanuts are ex­tensively grow n on ly in Sp a in ; a ll over the continent they are used m ostly for their oil, and the great m arkets there draw their supply m ostly from the west coast of A frica. In d ia and Braz il con­sume most of the great props grow n in those countries. In th is country the peanut is a staple in V irg in ia , the Caro­lines and Georgia. Besides it is raised to some extent in nearly a ll the south­ern states, and its cultivation in south­ern California is increasing every year.

annual product in the United States varies from 2 ,0 0 0 , 0 0 0 to 5,000,000 bushels, and practically a ll of th is im ­mense quantity is used here.

Thfee varieties are grow n United States; the white, the the Spanish. The white peanut has two kernels only In each pod, and this is also true of the Span ish nut, which is pohsiderably smaller, however, than the white variety and has a m uch milder flavor., The third variety, the red pea­nut, often has as m any as three or four kernels in each shell and is la rger than either of the other varieties.

M adrid , Aug. 9.— Senor Canovas del O tatU lo , prim e m inister of Spain, wan assassinated Sunday a t Santa Agueda, b y an anarchist. The murderer fired

• three shots, two of which struck the prem ie r in the forehead and another in the chest. The wounded man fell dy ­in g at the feet of h is wife, who was w ith • im , lin ge rin g in agony for two hours g a d then passed away at three o’clock S u n d a y afternoon with the cry of *Ta>ng live Spain,” which were the last w o rd s upon his lipa

< Santa Agueda is noted for |ta baths.T h e place is between San Sebastian, the sum m er residence of the Span ish court a n d Vittoria, the capital of the province • f Alava, about 30 miles south of B il­bao. The premier went there last T h u rsd ay to take a three weeks' course o f the baths, after which he expected to re tu rn to San Sebastian to meet United Ctates M in ister W oodford when that gentlem an should be officially received b y the queen regent.

The assassin w as immediately ar­rested. He is a Neapolitan and gives the nam e of R inaldi, but it 1b believed that -this is an assumed name and that his real name 1b M ichele Augino Golli.

A t a special meeting of the cabinet fiun d ay under the presidency of Senor Cos-Gayon, m inister of the interior, the la tter announced that he had been in ­

tru ste d by the queen regent w ith the prem iersh ip ad interim.

' A n A n a r c h is t C o n s p ir a c y .The murderer declares that he killed

Cenor Canovas “in accomplishment of « ju st vengeance,” and that the deed is ■ the outcome of a vast anarchist con­op iracy. JJe is believed to have arrived • t Santa Agueda the same day as the

jpremier, and he was frequently seen u rk in g in the passages of the bath ing establishm ent in a suspicious manner.

Senor Sagasta, the liberal leader, has went the fo llow ing telegram to the gov­ernm ent: “I have heard w ith deep

.uain of the crime that has thrown us all sDto m ourning, and I place m yself at the orders of the government and of the

• queen.” M ost of the liberal leaders have •ent sim ilar messages, p lacing them­selves at the disposal of the govern- ixnent.

S h o t T h r e e T im e s .T h e queen regent on hearing the sad

t e w s dispatched her physician, Dr. B u s­tos, by a special train from San Sebas­tian. Later, on learn ing,that Canovas w a s dead, she wired her condolences to rthe widow.

The health of Senor Canovas had im ­proved greatly of late. He had been lead ing a very quiet life, although he attended to the business of state. A t ■ the moment of the assassination he was w a it in g in the ga lle ry of the bath ing es- "tablishment for h is wife, who was to jo in him for lunch. Suddenly the as- anssiu, who had the appearance of an ord inary visitor, approached and fired • t him point blank, one bullet passing th rough the body and com ing out be- b ind under the left shoulder, and the other two lodging in the head. He fell in stan tly and only recoVfred conscious­ness long enough to speak a few words.

••mid a scene of m ingled sorrow and in­d ignation. The assassin narrow ly es­caped lynch ing at the hands of the walt-

-ora and attendants who rushed for­w ard . Detectives and civil guards im- •mediately secured him. He was very pale, trembled violently and evidently feared that he would be killed on the •pot. He w ill be first arraigned before the local m agistrates at Vergara.

The roar of the revolver was heard in every part of the establishment, and the attendants rushed'to the scene of the tragedy. Senora Canovas flung open the door of her dressing-room and ca u gh t her husband as he fell. The b o rro r of it a ll overcame her and she •wooned and fell, over him. For a few m inutes only did the prime m inister recover consciousness. Then he opened b is eyes, dulled with agony, and m ur­m ured the words: “Lon g live S p a in I”

G r e a t I n d i g n a t io n .The queen regent and all the mem­

b e rs of the cabinet w ill return here to­day. H er majesty has intrusted the presidency of the council to Gen. Az- carrngn, m inister of war, and the cortes w ill be sum m oned to reassemble on Tuesday. The greatest excitement and ind ignation prevail am ong all classes. A l l the members of the diplomatic corps bave expressed their sym pathy with the government. M an y senators, depu­ties and generate, while expressing the ir grief and indignation, have of­fered to render to the governm ent all -the assistanpe in their power.

THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.V Iew e o f S e c r e t a r y S h e r m a n a n d S en ­

a t o r H s r c s s .W ashington, A ug. 9.— I t is not known

whether the governm ent has received form al notification of Prem ier Canovaa’ assassination, but it probably has. Im ­mediately the state, according to Its usual custom, w ill announce the event to the president and the latter will, In some way, make form al and public ex­pression regard ing the government's deep regret. Just in what form this ex­pression w ill be couched is not known, for precedents differ, but it doubtless w ill be a dispatch to the Spanish gov­ernment, simple and sym pathetic in its terms.

Secretary of State Sherman re­ceived the first news of the af­fair through press bulletins. He expressed deep interest in the de­tails. He said that the deplorable event would have some effect on the political affairs of Spain, but to what extent he could not say. A s to the consequences on the conflict in Cuba he did not care to talk. Prem ier Canovas, he Baid, was a strong partisan. He waa the chief exponent of the element which was determined to keep Cuba at a ll hazards. Seem ingly Spain was alm ost n un it on this. Canovas was a strong factor in the government of Spain, but it was not impossible that another would, be fouud to replace him in that im portant office having sim ilar views and the same pronounced ideas. How it m igh t be in this case he was not able to say, but the effects politically of such an event were not essentially far reach­in g and had not a lw ays produced radi­cal developments.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, a mem­ber of the foreign affairs committee of the senate and the cham pion of Cuba in that body, predicted in an interview that the assassination m igh t be the fdrerunner of a complete change of government, a republic replacing the monarchy.

This, he thought, w as the present tendency and the sad event he regarded as an evidence of the disintegration of the Spanish government.

New York, Aug. 0 .— E m ilio Agra- monte, president of the Jose M arti rev­olutionary club and the M arti Charity organization, of this city, heard the news of the k illin g of Prem ier Canovas at h is home. He thought Sagasta would be the successor of Canovas. He thought the death of Canovas could not but help the cause of Cuba.

The news of the assassination of Senor Canovas was received at the HiB- pano-Am ericano hotel, where the guests are both Cuban and Spanish, without m uch apparent surprise. Few of the guests cared to discuss the matter. C. Ricardo Aleman, a lawyer from Cuba on a visit here, who is a Spariard and a loyalist, said he did not th ink the k ill­in g of the premier would have any in­fluence on Cuban affairs or w as brought about by the Cuban trouble. I t was planned and carried out, he said, by an­archists end meant no more than an assassination of the same character in any other country. It was the work of anarchists, he believed, seeking to remove another influential head of a government.

Key West, Fla., Aug. 9.— Intense ex­citement prevails in Havana over the news of Prem ier Canovas’ assassina­tion. Enorm ous crowds assembled be­fore all the newspaper offices to read bulletins about the m urder of the prime minister. Am ong the Spanish of all classes most profound sorrow was ex­pressed. I t was everywhere pronounced to be a calam ity of too great m agnitude to be estimated at this time. A ll recog­nize that its bearing on affairs in Cuba is of the greatest moment, but of neces­s ity comment on this point is most guarded. The Insurgent party ia con­fident that the death of Canovas means the dow nfall of the conservative gov­ernment, the recall of WeyleT and the freedom of Cuba. Capt.

Confession of the Aaaaasln—GeneralRegret nt the Premier’s Kate—Offi­

cial Meeaagc from United States Government.

Madrid, Aug. 10. -7 - Tbe aesasaipation of the prime m iniater of Spain, Senor Canovaa del Castillo, who w as shot and trilled by an Ita lia n anarchist, whose name la believed to be M ichele Arigine Golli, at the batba of Santa Agueda, Sun* day afternoon, waa undoubtedly cold­bloodedly premeditated. G olli delib­erately watched fo r an opportunity to k ill the Span ish statesman, and he only fired when he had no chance o f m issing, fn fact, the assassin, who w as arrestefi alm ost immediately, has declared as much to the exam in ing m agistrate.

The assassin confessed that h is real name was M ichele A pgine Golli, that he was 26 years o f age, a native of Bog - gia, near Naples, and that he left Ita ly and came to Spain in 1896. A fter reach­ing Spain Golli, according to h is con­fession, resided a t Barcelona and par­ticipated in the doings of the various anarchist societies of that place and vicinity. A fte r sojourn ing in B a r ­celona for some time, G o lli visited France and Be lgium , and returned to Spain in Ju ly lasrt.

DON M ARCOLO D E AZCARRAGA, P R E M IE R A D IN T E R IM .

In appearance Golli is of medium height, wears a fu ll beard and specta­cles, and his demeanor ia that of a quiet, law -abid ing citizen. He says he 1b satisfied w ith having done “his duty,” and asserts that he had no per­sonal grudge aga in st the premier, and w as merely obeying orders received from his superiors in the secret so­ciety to which he belonged. He frank­ly professes anarch ist doctrine, says he was sentenced in 1896 to 18 m onths’ im prisonm ent in the jail at Lucere, Ita ly, and cla im s that he escaped from there to Marseilles, from w hich post he made his wa$ to Barcelona.

Golli has confessed that he killed Benor Canovas to avenge the Barcelona anarchists, and the insurgent leader, Don Jose Rizal, who was executed at Manila, Ph ilipp ine islands, on Decem ­ber 30 last, as the in stigator o f the Philippine rebellion. Dr. R iza l denied that he w as a rebel leader, but he ad­mitted that he had draw n up the stat­utes of the Ph ip ippine league. In G o l l i ’s room the police fouud a large double- barreled pistol. I t appears that when he left the house Sunday he carried a parcel, which is believed to have con­tained a bomb. The iueul'y is that he hid this somewhere in the fields.

A dispatch from Barcelona says that Golli arrived there in December, 1895, com ing from Marseilles. H e was em­ployed in the p r in tin g office of the Re­view Social Science, m anaged by the anarchist engineer Tarrida Marm el, form erly im prisoned in M o n tju ich fo rt i-psr at. knri>pli>5 «. (rolli w ss im plicated In the terrihle crime of the celebration of Corpus ChristI, a lthough he left B a r ­celona a few dayB before it occurred. He wap denounced to the police for complicity, hut he had already disap­peared. /

A special dispatch from San Sebastian says that G o lli saluted Senor CanovaB each m orn ing w ith great politeness. H is ^ffiiRiveness aroused the suspicion of the premier, who mentioned the m at­ter to the proprietor of the baths, only to be reassured by him. Golli con­fesses that he followed Senor Canova 3

to church and to other places, w a iting for an opportunity when he could sure­ly accomplish his purpose. H e says he regrets that he has been unable to kill Gen. Polavieja, who w as governor-gen­eral of the Ph ilipp ine islands when Dr. Rizal was executed last December.

The prisoner cannot be tried unddj; the laws provid ing for the tria l and. punishment of anarchists, as th is law is so framed that a person prosecuted underWts provisions m ust have used or attempted to use explosives In the com­m ission or attem pt to com m it the crime charged Rga in st him. However, there 1b no doubt G o lli w ill be sum ­m arily tried and sentenced. The pub­lic demands the adoption of stringent measures aga in st anarchists and also against those who are in sym pathy w ith them.

In the course o f an interview M on­day afternoon Senor Sagasta, the lib­eral leafier, sa id : jj "T h e country’s poli­tics m u sL n o t depend upon an assassin. The consentqtivee ough t to rem ain in power un fit* the guidance o f men like MarshtUT7npKp^kK§enor Pid& l and Senor Elduayfeiu/ Nevertheless, if the queen- regent appeal* to the liberal*, they are ready to respond." , / ' ' -,

for food and provisions were numerous at tbe headquarters of the .miner*’ of­ficials in tb ii city Monday. I t appears as if there w as a wail from every sec­tion of the district, and m iners in per­son were present to ask that the su f­fering ones be looked after. Secretary W arner was kept hoay answ ering the appeals. H e said M onday n igh t that he had sent more than $1 , 0 0 0 w orth of groceries and provisions into various parts of the district. The appeals are now com ing in from the families, the heads of which are a t the various m in­in g cam ps using their Influence to keep other men from w orking. A t the m ines where com pany stores bave been in operation the destitution is more marked. In m ost Instances tbe Stores were closed up shortly after the strike began, and the m iners have no place now where their credit is good. The male members of the m iners’ fam ilies are liv in g better in the camps than the women and sm aller children are at home.

Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 10.— A ll thi m iners of the New York & Cleveland Gas Coal com pany who are still at work were paid Monday, but those who struck did not receive any money, the com pany in sist in g upon the term s of the contract by which the men agreed to forfeit a ll money due them in case they refuse to work.

A series of m eetings are to be held all over the district. I t is expected to keep up the interest iu every section and strengthen every point where there is the least .indication of weak­ness. The vlgiles on the mines o f the New Y o rk & Cleveland Gas Coal com­pany are to be kept up and the vigor increased from day to day. The cam ­paign In W estmoreland county w ill be­g in at Irw in on Wednesday. A t two p. m. a monster m eeting w ill be held. I t is expected that Eugene V. Debs, Mrs. M ary Jones, M. P. Carrick, P atrick Dolan and others w ill make addresses. A march is t o ^ e made from Turtle Creek. There w ill be a number of brass bandB in the procession. The strikers desire to awaken an interest in that section, as they claim the mines that are w ork ing are an in jury to their cause.

Wheeling, W. Va., A ug. 10.— M atters took a turn M onday in the W heeling d istant and the m iners are feeling en­couraged. M onday m orn ing a sm all arm y of m iners from Moundsville and Benwood gathered at the w orks of tho Glendale company, e ight miles below the city, and induced the w o rk in g m iners at that p lant to come out to a man. Flushed w ith their success at th is point, the strikers, reinforced by $he Glendale men and by a body of strikers that had come across the h ills from E lm Grove, went to the B o g g ’s R un mines and camped out on the h ill­side. M onday afternoon, as the m iners came out from their work, the strikers took them in and secured their prom ­ise to rem ain out of the m ines d u r in g the strike if all the men employed b y the B o g g s R un m ines would m ake the same promise. I t is anticipated that th is effort to secure a general suspen­sion in the W heeling d istrict w ill meet w ith success.

P ittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 10.— On the suc­cess or failure of the b itum inous coal miners’ strike depends the inception of

movement by the anthracite m iners for higher^ wage's and better conditions. D istrict President Patrick Dolan and the other officials of tbe United M ine W orkers’ organization have received several letters w ithin the past few days from different parts of the Pennsy l­vania anthracite coal region a sk in g for inform ation on the outlook for the big strike and w anting to know w hat as­surances of vietory they have. I f tbe bitum inous m iners win, the anthracite diggers th ink they would have a'n equal chance of securing an advance in wages. I f the present strike is lost the attempt for an advance w ill not be made in the anthracite region.

Hillsboro, III., Aug. 1 0 .— The m arch­ing m iners at Cofteen were overawed Monday m orn ing by the large force of deputies under the direction of Sheriff Randle and did not attem pt to come near the mine.

Chicago, Aug. 10.— Operators of b i­tum inous coal mines in the northern part of Illin o is decided M onday not to recognize the new scale adopted at the m iners’ convention held in Springfield last week. The decision was reached at a m eeting held in the offices of the General W ilm ington Coal company. From the attitude assum ed by the operators present at the m eeting it is concluded that the m iners w ill bq com ­pelled to rem ain idle indefinitely.

Ottumwa, la., Aug. 1 0 .— A m eeting of Iow a m iners here M onday decided not to strike out o f sym pathy '’ w ith the easterners, but assessed 23 centB each week on all men for aid. The meeting was poorly attended, on ly one-fourth of the num ber oi m iners in the state be­in g represented. A t first there w as a sentiment for a strikny-but agitators from D lin o is worked hard to get the men to declare a strike, but the men decided \thdy could do no good order­in g a strike w ith such a sm all number, and passed a resolution ordering notices eeht out to a ll cam ps In the state fo r an­other m eeting a t OskalooRfi A u gu st 19.

TABLE DECORATION.Hot as Was aElaborate Now as It

Few Seasons Ago.There is a slight reactionary effect

against overloading the dinner and luncheon< tables with decorations. On grand occasions it is more usual to see the table dressed with a white cloth of finest damask on which the floral dec­orations rest. This gives opportunity for individuality in the arrangement of the flowers about the table; and the prettiest effects ever made‘in table dec­orations are done by the means of a tasteful arrangement of ferns and flowers on the cloth.

Embroidered center-pieces are by no meanB discarded and form just as neces­sary a part of a h o u se k e ep er 's outfit •s they have ever done, but the inclina­tion is to limit them to everyday use. When the dinner table is set for the family dinner, flowers are not usually

The large shops that cater to fads are showing handsome leather boxes in tan, green or brown about six by ten inches square containing from eight to a dosendear-ept bottles with ground glass stoppers. Over the ground glass stopper is a silver screw top. The box fastens with leather straps, and when dosed has a very professional look.

Inside the cover of the box there are email straps in which are slipped a pair o f surgeon’s scissors with a flat head on one point, so that the scissors can be slipped under a bandage with' out piercing the patient. Two rolls of surgeon’s bandages ready for use, a pair of tiny steel forceps and a small lanoe complete the surgical tools.

PREPARED FOR EMERGENCIES.[the palm of cleverness over all the other summer girls with their respec­tive fads.

The medicine bottles in the box have a distinct aim in the preservation of health. The box holds a dozen bottles in all. In the first row there are trav­eling remedies, camphor, lavender wa­ter and aromatlo spirits of ammonia, the first for a headache, the second for refreshing tired nerves and the third for faintness. In the second row there are simple remedies for common Ills, toothache drops, phenacetine and filled prescriptions from home physicians.

The third row ia devoted to summer ills, paregoric, hot drops and Jamaica ginger for the green apple season—for the medicine girl is nothing if not prac­tical. The last row has arnica for bumps, witch hazel anl sleeping po­tions. And tucked in around the bot­tles are sticking plasters, corn salves and all the known remedies for sun­burn, chapped hands and “that tired feeling.” The summer girl can fix you up in any circumstance, and if she hap­pens to be stopping at your plaee by all means cultivate her acquaintance.

A little library of “First Aid for the Wounded” croeB with the medicine cnest. i t consists of three little voi umee. One is devoted to bicycle acci­dents, possible and probable, and how to get the patient in shape to reach home with the aid of an ambulance. The second is taken up with drowning resuscitations and mountain accidents, which are both quite different from bicycl,e falls. The last is a quiet talk about maladies and a hint for their diagnosis. The first symptoms of measles—that common complaint in every summer hotel where children are found—and the initial perform ances of mumps, whooping cough and chicken-pox are all set forth;, so that the man or woman who catches these from the flaxen-haired angel of the house may not die a thousand deaths from fright before realizing that he or she is afflicted merely with chicken pox Instead of some dread scourge. “The best thing to do” is the title of the con eluding chapters in each book.

The bicycle medicine girb—and she is legion—has straps fastened to her box, which she attaches to the wheel, lightening it as much as possible first. Very small medicine cheats that will go in the toolbox come for bicyclists. For camping out there are large, square medicine boxes, very complete and very ornamental; and for an ocean voyage or a cruise upon a yaoht there is a medicine chest with a distinct set of remedies.. It is a very attractive fad, and one that has a useful end, not always to be discovered In the summer fad,— Grace Hammond Smith, In Louisville Courier-Journal.

In the 51 firemen who are hurt were included Chief Swenie, Assistant Chiefs Musham and Campion and Battalion Chief An­derson. These leaders were more or less severely hurt and burned, while some of their men will die.

Death came to the brave fire fighters In an explosion of hot air. Thousands of spectators had gathered close about the structure and the flying pieces of brick and heavy sections of corrugated iron crushed down dozens of men and boys, whose names the police were not able to learn.

The loss on the elevator and its con­tents was $350,000, insured for 9300,000. The damage to surrounding property will be about 917,500, with an insurance of about 910,000. The elevator 'Was wrecked by the explosion and as much of the 135,000 bushels of grain that it

Cincinnati, Aug. 6. — Otto Adler kept an all-night restaurant in the lower story of the house in which three men and one woman perished Thursday morning. There were 17 men and women in one room in the second story of this honse. The occupants of the building refuse all lufoimatlon. None of the dead were burned. They were suffocated by smoke from the fire in adjacent rooms. The only exit for es­cape was blocked by a bathtub set up on end at the head of the stairway. The smoke came from an adjacent room where the fire was soon extinguished. It seems that it was a wedding frolic, in which Guth, one of the dead men, was the bridegroom, and the daughter o Landlord Adler was tho bride. St! there is some doubt'As to who 1b the bride, as there is about nearly all the particulars in the case. The celeibrants of the wedding used beer and cigarettes very freely and it is now supposed that cigarettes started the fire and that beer started the somnolence, which, with the up-ended bathtub, were indi­rect causes of so much fatality.

Engi­neer Thomas Grogan, with engine 890, pulled a special from Evanston, Wyo., to Omaha, 955 miles, in 24 hours, in­cluding all stops. This is claimed as the record long ran for a single engine. The final spurt of the ran. was a re­markable burst of speed, the distance from North Platte to Omaha, 291 miles, being covered in 279 mlnptes, at the rate of 63.49 miles per hour.

Conductor Frank P. Finnegan’s Body Found in Lake Michigan.

Frank P. F innegan , o p e of the best known c o n d u c to rs on th e W abash ra i l ­road a n d well know u iu F o rres t w here he h as re la t ives a n d n um erous friends, d isa p p e a re d in C h icag o 'a t noon of last F r id a y a n d no witnesses have been fo u n d who saw him alive after tha t t im e . T h e fo llowing account of the m y s te ry is com piled from the accounts in th e Chicago dailies and the F o rre s t R a m b le r :

F in n eg an ran the St.Louis L imited into C hicago arr iv ing a t 7:80 a. m . T h e re had been an episode d u r in g the t r ip re.- su lting in tho a r re s t of a coup le of p ickpocke ts by the police upon a r r iv a l in Chicago. T he hea r in g before the* jus t ice took up some of the forenoon A t noon F innegan was shaved by a ba rb e r who knew him in the Polk S tree t depo t basem ent. H e said he was going to see the ball gam e . H e then sen t a d ispa tch to his wife a t the ir residence at 0327 S te w a r t Avenue, Englewood, te ll­ing her to m eet him at the P a lm er House tUat even in g and they would go to the thea te r . H e failed to ap p ea r a t the P a lm e r H ouse a n d so fa r as know n was no t seen again by any acqua in tance . By S u n d ay M rs. F innegan had become very m uch a la rm ed and te legraphed to her b ro th e r , Chas. Curm on, of Forrest, who im m edia te ly went to Chicago and tha t a f te rnoon reported the d isappearance to th e police. M onday m orn ing F irinegan’s body was found floating by a tug crew iu the lak e ju s t inside the north b re a k ­w ater . In his pockets were found 893, a 8150 gold watch, a r in g and o the r va luables show ing th a t he had not been m u rd e red by robbers.

■ On the S a tu rd a y m orn ing previous an u n k n o w n m an had tak en a boat w ithout leave from a scow in Illinois C en tra l s lip E an d row ed ou t in to the lake half a mile beyond the life saving station T h e lookout saw the m an in the boat and a m o m e n t la te r noticed the boat em p ty . T here was a pint bottle half full of whiskey in the boat, but nothing else. N o body was found a t t h a t time. I t is th o u g h t the m an who took the boat w as F innegan , but F in n eg an never was know n to d r ink .

g N oth ing th a t th row s light upon the m a n n e r or cause of his dea th lias com e to light. T h e re is o ne ex trem ely s lender chance to unravel the mystery. At noon last S u n d ay , forty-eight hours a f ­te r F in n eg an was last seen alive by p e r ­sons who knew him, a well-dressed s t r a n g e r called a t F in n eg an ’s home and was m et by the l a t t e r ’s wife. He asked to see Mr. F innegan , and was told he was not a t home. Mrs. F innegan could no t tell him when Mr. F innegan would be a t home. The. s t r a n g e r ab rup tly asked his wife if she th ough t he was in St. Louis. She told him she could not' tell, and asked him if he knew where Mr. F in n eg an was. He said tie did not, and when asked his nam e said it was Gates, and th a t he was a guest a t tho P a lm e r House. Mrs. F innegan gave the detectives a good descrip tion of the m an , but investigation proved the s ta tem en ts of the s t r a n g e r false. F o r this m an d e ­tectives have been search ing high and low, but they have been unable to even lind any o ther person who saw him.

T h e body w a s . taken to F o rres t W ednesday afternoon and the fu n e r ­al w as held a t the C ongregational church at 2 o ’clock p. ni. u n d e r the auspices of the M ason ic f ra te rn i ty .
