flow Sunn 43ot Their Name.
Hussars do not derive their name
from any .sort of war cry or cheer.
The name Is from the Magyar word
houtzar, meaning the 20th. Hussars,
as cavalry soldiers, were at first con
fined to Hungary. In 1445 the crown
passed a law compelling the peasants
p supply one man out of every 20 of
their number, and that man a horse-
. man, to the army of the state. The
first hussars were recruited from the
Inhabitants of the immense Hungarian
plains strong, hardy fellows, with sin
ews supple as steel.who spent their life
: In the saddle. To the present time the
Hungarian hussars are considered to
be the finest body of light horsemen in
Europe. Stray Stories.

Boots Take Another Advance
Cotton Goods StUI Up.
WHEAT MOVES SLUGGISHLY.
New York,-Jan. -8. failures in 1899
were 9,393 in number, with liabilities
of $123r132j679. The last .days -of --the
year added a few more to the "number
and some millions to the known liabili
ties' of firms .and banks which failed
close to .the end, so that commercial' de
faults -reached 800,879,989, -of which
$30,792,164 vwere in manufacturing,
948,924,771 in 'trading and 811,162,954
in brokerage, -promoting and other
-commercial liabilities.
The disposition to . ask -higher prices
is seen in boots and shoes' 20-cents ad
vance being asked on some for which
17'Cents was asked. and paid in No
vember.
Cotton goods are at Ihe 'highest quo
tations-of last year, with good .demand
though cotton has declined -a little.
But the goods were at no time advanced
quite in proportion rto the material.
Woolen goods, are much lower with re
spect to wool than a year ago, and
some further .advance has been expect
ed. Wool is strongly held though full
prices asked .a month ago cannot be ob
tained. Cotton does not rise further,
because receipts from plantations have
.-somewhat increased, .and .accounts of
of large -stocks at many small towns
have attracted attention. The southern
mills which usually supply themselves
with large stocks from the surrounding
country without passing the cotton
through any market or drawing it
until it is wanted, have bought largely
on account of the publicly announced
combination last fall to raise prices.
These mills consumed last year 1,400,
000 bales, but are reckoned as having
taken for this year's crop only 491,000.
Wheat still moves sluggishly with
small changes in prices. In six months
of the crop year about 99,000,000 bu
shels, flour included, have been export
ed, against 123,000,000 last year. The
price is practically unchanged, as also
for corn, of which 2,923,195 bushels
have been exported for the week,
against 3,572,412 last year.
Asks Aroerleaa later ventloj.
Brussels, Jan. 6. At the meeting
held here convoked by leading mem
bers of the Universal League of Peace,
having in view a petition to President
McKinley to mediate in favor of peace
between Great Britain and the Trans
vaal, it was decided to open petitions
for public signatures throughout the
country.
The proposed address to President
McKinley follows:
Painfully affected by the bloody and
terrible struggle in which two of the
most civilized peoples are brought into
conflict in South Africa, the under
signed urgently appeal to you for me
diation. You alone can offer to heal
the breach, and, in so doing, you would
fulfill the sacred duty of human broth
erhood. Colesbnrg and Ladysmlth.
London, Jan. 5. An unexpected de
velopment of the situation has occurred
at Colesburg. The Boers returned
with reinforcements during the night
and occupied the position from which
they were driven by General French.
There is a deepening sense of anxiety
respecting Ladysmith, whence dis
heartening reports of the prevalence
of 'sickness are received. General
White reported a list of nearly twenty
deaths a day from enteric fever and
dysentery and seventy-one serious cases
in the hospital.
TudgmentAgalnst the Union.
Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 8 . Edward "Wu
nich, a linotype machinist, formerly
employed in the composing room of the
Evening News, who brought suit sev
eral months ago against David Shank
land, as president of Typographical
union No. 9 of this city to recover dam
ages for alleged conspiracy in forcing
him out of his position because he re
fused to take out a card in the Typo
graphical union, got a verdict of $650
in the supreme court.
Agent W. J. Pollock.
Washington, Jan. 5. It is under
stood that the recent investigation of
W. J. Pollock, agent at the Osage agen
cy, in Oklahoma, will not lead to his
removal, as has been generally sur
mised. No incriminating evidence was
developed. The conclusions are said
to point to the agent's lack of quali
fications for the place rather than to
any violation of law. The matter is in
the hands of Secretary Hitchcock, who
is understood to regard the case as not
sufficiently serious to justify Pollock's
removal.
Troops for Alaska.
Washington, Jan. 8. At the cabinet
meeting it was definitely decided to
send additional troops to Alaska in the
spring. The points to which they will
be sent have not been determined upon
except Cape Nome, where it is estimat
ed there will be 30,000 people as soon
as navigation opens. Troop3 are ab
solutely necessary to preserve order.
The place is now without government
of any kind, and some sort of force
will be 'necessary to protect the com
munity against lawbreakers in the
mad rush in the spring.
- For Self-Supporting Women.
New York, Jan. 6. The last sub
scription of the $400,000 needed to in
sure the building of the much-talked
of woman's hotel in this city has been
subscribed and the plans will be drawn
immediately. Toe hotel, when finish
ed, will cost about $800,000. The pur
pose of the hotel will be to furnish to
self-supporting women first-class ac
commodations at a nominal figure.
This is not intended as a hotel for
transients but for homes, and will have
111 conveniences.
TAKES ANDTHER ISLAND.
XtCommHDdfl tte Channel Between Ban
nw mad Sole.
Washington, Jan. 8. The United
States .navy has 'taken possession ol
another island in the east. Admiral
Watson cables from Cavite: Wentz-
baugh, commanding the Albany, (a
little gunboat), hoisted the flag on
Sibutu Island, and the chief dato pro
vided -and raised the pole. Natives
and :north Borneo authorities pleased."
The island lies -at the southwestern
angle of the boundary line of the
quadrangle 'enclosing the Philippine
groud. It is -probably, but not posi
tively, -outside of the line and lies very
near the coast of Borneo, commanding
the principal -channel .between that
Island and the 'Philippir.es. The Sal
tan, of- Jolo, whose group is close to the
island, is believed toclaim jurisdiction
over it and as his .authority is recog
nized by the native tribes on the north
coast -of Borneo and vicinity, it is be
lieved .that .his .claim is well-founded.
Jt was probably at his instance that
the naval afficer .commanding the gun
boat moved.

. Will Do Away with Stamps,
English postal authorities are mak

letter mailing device which will do
away with the old style of "stick-with-a-llck"
postage stamp. The new ap
paratus resembles a slot machine, and
is an adaptation of this idea. It can
be placed on the street corners, or in
the postoffices. By putting a penny in
the slot the letter is thrust into a slot
and presto, change! a dry or riband
stamp puts a stamp on the corner of
the letter, when it can be dropped into
the box. The machine cancels the
stamp with the date, time of day, etc.,
all at one operation. . There are differ
ent slots for the different denomina
tions of stamps. If this machine
proves the success which its inventor
hopes it will do away with the present
mucllaged stamp, and prove an econ
omical device for the postal service

Escaping- Conscription.
The Mllitaer Zeitung states that
there are at present In America over
100,000 men who fled to this country
from Austro-Hungary to escape con
scription, and who should be in the
Austro-Hungary army of reserves. On
one occasion, at the mobilization of a
body of reserves, only 1,500 men out
of 6,000 appeared. '
Somehow a man never fully compre-
hend's the story of the widow's might
until she starts out after a second hus
band.

Says Peruna, the Catarrh Cure,
Giyes Strength and Appetite.
Hon. W. N. Roach. United States Senator from North Dakota.
Hon. W. N. Boach, United States Senator from North Dakota, personally
endorses Peruna, the great catarrh cure and tonic. In a recent letter to The
Peruna Medicine Company, at Columbus, Ohio, written from Washington, D. C.,
Senator Boach says:
"Persuaded by a friend, I bare used Peruna as a tonic, and I am
glad to testify that it bas greatly helped me In strength, vigor and
appetite. I have been advised by friends that It Is remarkably effica
cious as a cure for the almost universal complaint of catarrh."
Senator Boach's home address is Larimore, North Dakota.
Peruna is not a guess, nor an experiment; it is an absolute, scientific cer
tainty. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Peruna has no substitutes
no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna. Let no one persuade you that some other
remedy will do nearly as welL There is no other systematic remedy for catarrh
but Peruna. Address the Peruna Medicine Company, Columbus, Ohio, for a
free book on catarrh, written by Dr. Hartman.

A favorite southern dish is Virginia
corn bread. It is served in a deep
earthen baking dish and is dipped out
with a spoon. As a breakfast dish It
hns no equal. Break two eggs into a
bowl; add about one-half cup of flour,
one spoonful of lard and butter mixed,
and a heaping teaspoonful of baking
powder. Beat thoroughly. Then add
a cup (or more) ot hot water. It should
be very thin and should be poured into
a deep earthenware dish to bake.
Every crank would like to know
what he is a crank about.

It Is curious to find that there It a
country In the world in which It Is
considered a crime to smoke. Abys
Binla is the region, and the law for
bidding tobacco dates from the year
1642. It was at first merely Intended
to prevent priests from smoking in th
churches, but it was taken too liter
ally, and nowadays foreigners have to
smoke sub rosa, as If they were still
schoolboys. v
Some people impose on others with
out thinking.
