A I'ISIIVAI.IINI' tOM'l.l'NtON.
A leading Democratic politician of
North Carolina hns boon thinking for
snme time Jtast, and hr haa arrived nt
the conclusion that th Demncnitle
imrty has not enough .tate.manhlp left
In it to sueccsfully mnnnfte the affairs
of tho country. The distinguishing feat
ure of this conclusion Is not It accuracy
hut Its tnrdlnosa. The majority of the
people of this country came to that con
clusion Inns ago, ami tlinuch their
rlrnhRf of iKilltlcs t not hernlded with
tlis same amount of enthulnm n Is
shown when prominent lrndern nbnndou
their party, thp rank of the Democracy
liHVe been decimated by wholesale le
Mrllon. There Is no particular reason
for widespread rejoicing when a hlg
Democrat leaves his imrty, for It I the
rank nnd Ille that count. A iieaceful
revolution of sentiment among the men
Who toll and think Is what deride the
controversies thnt iii-Ipb In the course of
events. It Is pitch a revolution which Is
taking place now. Kvett the Democrats
recognize the fact, and they have prac
tically nbnndonr-d tho Held of 1Wi. cllng
lntr with the blind fatuity of despair to
the possibility of Cleveland landing safe
ly once more. If In the din of tomtoms
tho party Is "swarmed" Into the Cleve
land hive again, there will be such a
rout as will mnke the Man of Destiny
think of tho days when he turned a He
publican majority of 15.000 In New York
Into a Democratic majority of 192.WM.
In the meantime, the prominent Dem
ocratic politicians In tho South nnd
West nro "coming to the conclusion"
thnt the financial policy of the admin
istration Is devoid of statesmanship
or common sense, which Is the same
thing.
ci.AiMi.Nd At. i. tin: viiitim:.
Senator Price Is deeply exercised In
spirit because of the probability that the
Democratic state convention of Ohio
will Indorse free silver. lie even goes to
the extent of promulgating a threat that
he himself would bo debarred from
taking an active part In the campaign
In case the platform should contain a
free silver plank, and he says there are
many more In the party like him In this
respect. Xow, It Is actually amusing, If
it Is not absolutely funny, to see Cal
Pr.'co posing as the embodiment of such
lmmnculnte virtue; but he Is not radi
cally different from the genei-nl run of
the gold worshipers In the assumption
he makes. They are all of a superior
class, according to their own estimate
of their worth as moral and universally
upright citizens. It Is because of this
thnt they prate so continually about
"honest money." Put the fact Is that
the average advocate of free coinage of
both gold nnd silver Is standing on
fully as high ground ns that occupied
by tho goldbug. He has just as much
right to demand that his party plat
form shall contain a declaration of his
views of honest money as has Mr. Price.
And If his party shall refuse to recog
nize this right he can refuse to take an
active part In the campaign and he
will probably do so. There Is not a very
cheering outlook for tho Ohio Democ
racy this year, but It will get along
fully ns well without Mr. Price's active
connection with tho campaign, with or
without a free silver platform.

It would not surprise the country at
large If Mr. Cleveland should use his
power in the matter of civil service re
form to perpetuate In olllec some thou
sands of Democratic ofllceholderi. Civil
service reform has been the stepping
stone upon which Cleveland climbed Into
tho presidential chair, and It has been
tho colossal humbug of both his admin
istrations. If present Indications are not
wholly deceptive, and If. as now seems
certain, there shall be no Democratic
president elected In ISM. wouldn't It be a
temptation to put every Democratic
olllceholder possible under the civil
servlco system? Wouldn't It be what
Dr. Xeely, of Kansas, calls "the slick
thing?" Wouldn't It be just like Mr.
Cleveland, anyhow?
Appointed to their positions In the or
dinary routlno of politics, and not on
their merits, would It not be a great
stroke of policy to nail up the doors
through which they entered by declar
ing that thf snored circle of civil service
reform had been drawn around tho
whole outttt? There have been given
frequent hints during the second ad
ministration of Mr. Cleveland that ho
was not blind to the advantages of such
a system. Of course. If . Democrat
should be elected theru would be tens of
thousnnds of fat places to bo given to
those who had "earned" them. Hut If a
Ilepubllcan Is elected tt would bo burn
ing bridges with a vengeance to leavo
him with a countryful of Democrtitla
olllceholders, who could not bo dis
turbed. looking roit ixvi:st.mi:nts.
It Is given out that Rood Prltlsh
money Is again seeking American Invest
ment, and this In thu very fate of the
growing sentiment for thu re-establishment
of silver in its old place as a
money metal. It has been one of the
stock arguments of tho monoinetalllsta
that the restoration of silver would, bo
followed by a wholesale dumping of
American securities and the withdiawal
of all tho gold in the country to my tho
hills. To glvo weight to the assertion
we have been told from time to time
that the movement had already begun,
through fear that the "sound money"
policy of tho government was about to
bo overthrown; but no indications of It
have yet iiiatcriall-et in the markets.
The fact Is that American vecurltleu are
us good as any others to he found any
wheiP, and if there in anybody who
knows a good and safe piece of paper
for an Investment' when lie stus it, It is
the average Kngllih Investor. Jle may
make a miss of It once in awhile, but
as a rule he counts uKtn his pmllts with
a very satisfactory degree of certainty.
He is looking this way again U-i-ause he
has faith In the ability of the people of
the United States to Hud a remedy for
the hard times and falling markets that
have been with them for the paat two
years, and he proiioses tu have a share
In the prollts of the improvement.
CONTINI'KIl IMrilO Villi i:nt.
There is substantial encuiuagi m. nt in
the business outlook the country over
as shown in the commercial reports.
Without any phenomenal advance in
this or that direction, the -.-ner.il ten
dency is towardu better business all
around. The timorous efforts inaugu
rated by the commercial wc rid early In
the year to speed up the vh- is of com
merce were met with a drgr e nf en
.couragement that .was scarcely, looked
for, and the slndow of confidence that
came out of it grew to tangible propor
tions. The adjournment of the idiotic
congress gate a fresh Impetus to the
movement t. wards better thing, and
ileaplte the fait of uccsivp disappoint
ment In the volume of public revenues
a genuine determination io push busl
n8 was developed. The calamitous
prediction of the dumping Upon the mar
kets of all sorts, of securities In the
hands of foreign holder, on aeocunt of
the silver imitation, failed of realization.
Stock or nil classes took on a better
value. Manufacturing enterprises grow,
In tin? confidence thnt the destructive
tmllcy of the Democratic parly had been
carried to the utmost limit, nnd wages,
though greatly reduced, began to How
Into the pocket of the working clascs
with greater regularity.
And the Improvement I still going on.
There Is no boom In sight. Speculation
will be conllned to narrow lines nnd gen
eral business will doubtless be kept
wllhln consrvntlve boundaries for some
tlmei to rome; but the Improvement Is
genuine and encouraging.
WllllMMNU CIIII.IHUIN.
A half century ago It was not an un
common thing thnt soldiers nnd sailors
belonging to the army nnd navy were
tied up to posts, or bent over barrels nnd
fastened, and whipped. The public con
science was dually aroused and tho
most enlightened nations, such ns En
gland nnd America, proceeded to abol
ish such Inhuman nnd brutnl treatment.
It was found to degrade the men who
Were Hogged without Improving their
genernl conduct only Insofar ns to escape
detection nnd punishment. They planned
cunningly to avoid being rnupht, but In
no way was the moral character Im
proved. When It was a common thing to en
farce discipline In the armies and navies
of the world by resorting to such unus
ual nnd brutal modes of punishment,
and there were also laws on nearly nil
the statutes of the states prescribing
flogging nt the whipping posts as a
proper nnd legal remedy for certain of
fenses of a public and private nature, It
Is not strange thnt the schools of this
country and of Kuropo were "governed
by a club," and only In the very rarest
Instances could a school be found where
the law of kindness prevailed. U Is
true that occasionally one hero nnd an
other there had begun to question the
efllcncy of the rod as the universal
panacea of the school, but these were
not sulllclently numerous or their argu
ments forcible enough to change public
opinion In any respect. Nearly fifty
years ago Lyman Cobb took up the pen,
after having spent the greater portion
nf his life as a teacher, for the purpose
of showing the vicious consequences
arising from the Infliction of corporal
punWhment on chlldien In school. He
stated thirty objections to corporal pun
ishment, nnd then showed the evil re
sults llowlng from the use of the rod In
each case. Ills reasons are perhaps tho
strongest that have been formulated,
and a critical examination will prove
them In tho mala to be entirely sound
In principle and fully In accord with the
modern spirit of teaching. This In
cluded, however, only half his task. He
next prepared thirty-nine substitutes for
preventives of the use of the rod. These
he elaborated In detail nnd with great
fairness and common sense.
He places responsibility where It prop
erly and naturally belongs, and he dem
onstrates very clearly that the child's
conduct In the direction of vlclousness
or disobedience is shaped almost exclu
sively by parental control at home.
Most parents, ho assumes, know how to
rear their children In obedience to tho
rules of proper conduct and right feel
ings nnd actions; that the children In
their behavior reflect In their actions
the entire scheme of family government
nt homo with so much exactness that
the keen observer from watching the
children can delineate all the family
tendencies around the fireside. Many
parents fall to note that their children
are largely reflections of themselves, but
It is simply tho connection between
cause and effect.
No doubt those who would prohibit
corpornl punishment entirely In the
family and at the school carry the mat
ter a little too far, yet there Is far less
danger in no flogging at all than In too
much. Child nature Is man and woman
nature not fully developed, and all one
has to do is to sit down and reason out
to a conclusion under what circum
stances corporal punishment would do
lllm any material good. No doubt the
result of the argument would show that
only In tl e rarest nnd most extreme
Oases would It be found to help him to
bo a better person, if it helped him at
all. Hut, on tho other hand, the re
vengeful, bitter feelings engendered
would bo multiplied a hundredfold.
Now, If such be the legitimate outcome
when approached from a rational stand
point, how futile Is the attempt to
pound knowledge into human beings
with a club, and yet It must bo ac
knowledged that there nre a fow chil
dren, boys especially, that are so bru
talized through heredity and home sur
roundings thnt the only way they can be
reached Is by Hogging, and yet this
should be administered, if at all, by tho
parent or guardian, and not by the
teacher. Acting upon this theory, cor
poral punishment has been almost en
tirely eliminated from tho schools of thH
city, nnd when it la inflicted it Is with
tho consent of the parent, or otherwise
by the parent.
Tho children that have been most se
verely Hogged at home are never the
best behaved ones in school, and unfor
tunately tliu parents who complain most
of salutary moral restraint over their
children are the ones who have either
spoiled Hogged or petted and ruined
their children ut home. Too many pa
rents ilrlvo meanness Into their chil
dren, and thin sets angry a1igji the
meanness crops out again In multiplied
proportions.
If parents would only study more
carefully how to raise their children to
be truthful, honest, "industrious, kind,
polite, obedient, just ami faithful to
duty, InclliKd to do tho right thing un
der nil circumstances, then, indeed, po
licemen, police i mirts, workhouses, jails
anil penitentiaries would become mut
ters of a past und lower kind of civili
zation. After September 1, a girl under IS
cannot lawfully be married in the state
of New York without the consent of her
parents. Hut she cun elope fo some
other state ami have the knot tied, and
laugh New York lawmakers to scorn.

John Philip Siiiisn, who-e admirable hand
gave tolieeMs nt the Auditorium yesterday

unique place liefote th. Amet-lenn public.
Ho lifts beeh Identified l'h the govern
ment, is the foremost American march

ns a composer that bis own compositions
are the nmt popular n hi programmes.
He possesses mnnv quniltie" of the must
Ian, but liat not beth I-ft without those
of the politician, and ea-h .year .add to
hi tact in handling the public. His pro
gramme arc played utll ehthuslnstlc
spirit, and tlnre Is a life and movement
about the seipiMicc ult ns the Interpre
tation of numbers, and encores nre given
cheerfully and frequently, nnd altogether
there Is a cordlalliv that keeps nn audi
ence In a happy frame of mnul without
onee employing undignified methods of di
version. SoUFa's .bnnd Is In capital order this sea
son. It hns a prominence of wood wind
Instruments which enable the ambitious
conductor lo take up some music that ha
genernlly been left for orchestra nlone.
ror example, the "Oolterilammernng" and
"Lohengrin" music on yesterday pro
grammes wns played with a great ileal
of expression considering the ntence of
tilng.. The essential strength of the or
ganization, however, came out In the
overture to "Tnnnltnuser-' and "William
Tell," In the Hungarian rhnpsc.Iy by Llzt.
the Massenet suite, the symphonic pi"tn,
"The Chariot Itace," ar.d In the several
Sotisa marches. Indeed there was such a
preference for these marches that they
were nearly all played a encores or otic
lii.il numbers, nnd all were received tilth
Introductory and subsequent applause, "The
Ulrectotate," the new march, was of the
same exhilarating movement that belong
to Its family. A number that proved very
popular last evening nnd one that wns
worthy of more than passing notice Wns
the Kllng fnntasle, "Shepherd's Life In the
Alp." It Is a woiiilerfull" picturesque
number nnd In It descriptive passage
brought out the strong points of the band
with tolling effect. One listens to Sousn's
band with the lmpresiloti that It Is some
thing mote than n military organization.
Its makeup nnd Its leadership give It a
superiority that Is quite unique in the
history ui band music.
Miss Marie llernrird, the soprano of tho
company, has an excellent voice nnd sings
ultli nn advanced degree of art. Her
method Is good and In r tones are rich and
what arc generally ealltd "live." She Is
especially captivating In florid music like
Mozart's "Cost Fan Tultl" and the em
helllshmcnt of Ardltl's "Knehnntrc
Waltz." Miss Currle Duke was well
received, even before she had played, She
makes a pleasing appearance, having both
grace nnd beauty In hrr favor. Her play
ing Is characterized by much feeling and a
good deal of Impetuosity, nnd these, com
bined w'fh her limited concert work, lead
her Into technical unevenncss. She Is
best in adagio pnag' s. There are no
faults In her execution that may not be
corrected by contlnunl practice nnd public
work. She plays an Ainntl Instrument of
superb tone. He chief numbers were Ilnu
ser's Hungarian rhapsody and Sar.isate's
"Faint" fnntasle.
The other soloists were Joan Moere
mans. saxophonist, and Arthur Pryor
(formerly of this clty. trombonist, both
among the numerous Instrumental artists
of distinction in this renowned band.
GRADUATING CLASS OF ONE.
t'oiiiiuenceineiit KtitcNc of KntK.-t City

Hiss Isabella L. Brandon, the first grad
uate of the Kansas City Training School
for Nurses, received l-r diploma at the
commencement exorcise- of thnt Institution
In the rooms of the Jn.-kon County Medi
cal Society last night. The exercises con
sisted of speeches by l'rs. C. A. Dannaker,
Herman E. Peaisc. H. t. Crowell and John
E. Wilson and tho presentation of the di
ploma by Dr. Dnnnnk, r.
Miss lirandon has hail five years' training
as a nurse, having received four years of
Instruction before hir entrance Into the
school. Her diploma was signed by Drs.
J. D. Orilllth, H. C. Crowell. Willis P.
King, Jabez N. Jack?on and CJ. O. Cotlln
and Mayor Davis. Dr. Dannaker, who Is
the founder of the school, and Its presi
dent, gave a history of the school, nnd then
entered into a description of the qiialltio
which mark a good trained nurse. He
said that the school Is constantly in re
ceipt of letters from applicants In Illinois,
Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and
other states. The otllcers of the school, he
said, are in possession of tlfty letters which
they are at a loss to answer, so limited
are the hospital, facilities of tho school at
present. He spoke very hopefully of the
new city hospital, which Is to be built
here, nnd said that when that is erected
the scope of the school will be greatly
widened. He spoke highly of Miss liran
don's abilities.
He was followed by Dr. 1'earse, the sec
retary of the school, who gavo a very In
teresting talk. He told several humorous
stories and then commented on the great
Interest the students take In their work
and the privations and dltllcultles they un
dergo that they may acquire a thorough
knowledge or (.cionlltlc nursing. lie de
clared that the field Is one that is Untitles.
and that every Intelligent young woman
who enters the profession Is certain to
find a place.
Dr. II. C. Crowell was called upon ns tho
president of thr Jackson County Medical
Society. He characterized ttalned nurses
as surgeons' right hnnd. nnd made par
ticular note of the fact thnt young ladles
of tin- highest talent and ability are enter
ing the calling. Dr. John Wilson, profes
sor of hygiene in the I'nlvorMiy Medical
college, spoke in much thf same vein.
Just before the conclusion of the exercises
Dr. Dannaker said that the si nlor stu
dents In the school receive nt least flS a
week for their work nnd the Junior stu
dents from J7 to $10. Tho Junior class has
made J3.0 this past year.
The school was organized nnd Incor
porated on April "fi. 1SDI. It Is designed to
give all persons desiring the education of a.
trained nurse a practical and theoretical
training, ixti-ndlug over a period of two
years. Applicants mint be prepared to

enter the senior class. The school was
founded by Drs. C. A. Dannaker, W, F.
Kiihn, II. i:. Pearse, Mrs. .1. K. Cook and
Mrs. M. P. Carson. Mr. Cook Is a grad

Tim right In Court Over It Will Ho Strung
on liotli .Shlc-i,
In Judge Scnrrltt's division of the cir
cuit court next Saturday lawyers will
argue the application of six ex-inembers
of tho Kansas City police force to tnako
perpetual a restraining order to keep tho
Police Pellet Association, through Its of
fleers, from paying out certain money be
longing to the association to members who
were drupp. d from the rolls at the recent
police reoiijanlzaiiou. A strong legal con
test Is expected.
The application for an Injunction, which
Tns applied for by F.dwnrd Thelon and live
others- Friday, carries with It an Indorse
ment or rejection by the court of an
amendment to the constitution which was
adopted nt a meeting ot the association
three months iigu. This amendment pro.
vldes that all members dropped from the
rolls shall be entitled to the. return of their
initiation fee of im. their due for the first
f.hrei- years and W6 for each succeeding
enr. It was the adoption of this amend.
Merit that created all the trouble in the
association, in the event the injunction fa
made perpetual by the court the constltu.
tlonal amendment providing for the re
funding of money to members dropped
from the police rolls will be null and void
and the association will be lequlred to
work under Its old constitution. Thu meiq.
hers of the association who tavor the
amendment will niake a strong legal fight
to get the Injunction dissolved. On the
other hand. It Is said those who do not be
lieve the association monies should be paid
out to ex-members of the police force will
retain good legal talent to conduct their
side of the case and. If possible, have the
injunction made perpetual.

a natchAl mistake
There Is n young Kansas bridegroom who
Is explaining yet.
Prom n casual Investigation of Ihe clr
ciimslnnns. It must be conceded that ex
platiatlons are In order. Hut you rnn draw
jour own conclusions. These nro the facts:
one dny Inst week there arrived at the
Conies House a pair of young people. It
did not take n Sherlock Holmes lo sec
that tliey wete recently married. The sun
flower In their Iml betrayed tho hnme ot
the stnte from which thy had Just emb
grnleil.
The newly married collide worn shown to
a lilco parlor on the third lloor, not the
best In the house, tier tho worst, either.
The young husband seemed lo have plenty
of money, but he did not "blow It In" pro
m!ctintity, though he confided to the clerk
hi Intention of celebrnllng the nti'plclous
event In a properly elnbotnte manner.
After some persuasion the young fellow
Induced his wife to leave hltu long enough
lo enable htm to superintend tho rcmovtl
i" N ' '-
of their trunks to their room. With many
waves of her handkerchief the blushing and
happy brldo ascended to her room and
there waited cngerly for her better half to
put In nn uppea ranee.
A maid was sent to the room to "brush
up the room." nnd 'ie young brldo had a
nice little chat with her while the touches
wero being put on.
Hut presently n manly step was heard
Just outside the door.
"There he Is!" exclaimed the bride, rap
turously. "I guess I'll get out of hero!" cried the
maid, coyly.
And she got.
Sho got Just ns far as the door. A great
bear of a man, whoso eyes were blinded
by the light he had Just left, caught her
In his arms ns she opened tho door, nnd a
pair of Kansas lips camo down upon her
mouth In a hearty smack, while the girl
struggled In his nrtns, and the man ex
claimed, soothingly: "Did I scare you,
love?"
All this took but a minute. Then a third
voice smote the nlr:
"Ain't you ashamed of yourself, John
Peters?"
That was all It said.
Hut the young husband had found his
eyes now. nnd the maid had escaped, leav
ing tho Impulsive young Kansnn to con.
sole a weeping bride as best he could. Ho
tried to explain.
And ho Is probably trying to explain yet.

cngo "I have been for several Weeks trav
eling thtough the Southern part of the

dent nbout the splendid prospects ror the
npnlo crop down there. The ptospecis nre
said lo be the finest ever seen In that part
of the stnte, nnd the merchants and farm
ers nro till of the opinion that there Ir to
be n good season for nil putties, nnd that
prosperity Is pretty certain to come for
them. Many of the faimcrs are selling
their tipple rrops on the tree, nnd there
nro plenty of contractor who nre now in
the field making coiitrnets with liberal
nilvnnccs for the entire crop. The prices
otTored nre 111 ndvnuco of the ruling values
of Inst year, nnd thnt I making tho farm
ers feel very good. J met one fanner down
near Sprlligtleld, who sold his crop last
enon for M.OOO who hns made n contract
with the snme firm for the crop this year,
nnd gets t..t0 for It There nre thousands
of trees being planted all over that part ot
the state, nnd great nttentlon Is being paid
to the raising of nil the dltTerent varieties
of fnilt, It 1 to be one of tho great In

Charles McMnholi, barkeeper "Hvor ee
a tipsy ilog? No? Well. In spite of what
has been said by prohibitionists that dumb
nnlmnls will not learn to drink, I have
seen a dog very briozy. Down In St. Loul-i
there Is n rcstnutiint and saloon on ullvo
street, near Fourth. The pioprletor owns
a Scotch tcriler cnllcd Mess which will
drink until too full to walk. The dog Is
choice, and will not take beer, as Is the
usual reported case ot the kind. 1 went In
with n friend one night to get a late din
ner. While waiting for our older we took
n bracer, and the dog came around and
plainly asked for something. My friend
called for a glass or brandy, soaked a Imiip
of sugar with It nnd tossed It to .less. The
dog swallowed It and took half a dozen
more. In fnct, using up all of the brandy.
It was beginning to show the effects by
thlo time. A stranger entered, nnd the dog
mode u wild rush at him. The bruto could
not see well, and ran foul of a post In tho
room nnd rolled heels oyer head. It re
gained Its feet and walked deviously ncross
the room, then danced about for a time,
nnd Ml to the fioor and nsleep nt the same
time. It was gloriously full, nnd we could
not get It to ninko any movement of liny
kind The owner snld It was the usual
thing for It to drink brandy. '

undo my hair fall out. I had attended to

1u"t as vv" concluded that dentil was our

a long time, before I would got into an
other." G Plngrove, Salisbury. F.ngland "It has
been four and a half years since I was In
the United States, but , everything looks
much the same. 1 see little change. But
yoi have had hard times here since that
time I an told, though, .that you are re
covering and If you nre'nt you will re
cover I'm sure. A year or so ago we had
many failures In Knglar.d or rather many
parties lost money heavily. You ee there
mis a sort of n boom In mines, principally
South Aft lean gold mines. Kveryone who
could get up a prospectus about some gold
mine, whether It existed or not, was mire
to do io. Plenty of people invested heavily
and lost all they had in many instances.
Put none of our banks went under or any
thing ot that soit. The losses were, all
private losses. No. .Tubes Balfour had no
hand In it. He was a swindler along a dif
ferent line. He got people to sink money
in his scheme, piomlslng to pay 6 per cent
in dividends on all Investments nnd tnen
he paid those dividends out ot the prin
ciple. He stole millions of dollars and then
he ran away to the Argentine Itepublic,
with which we had no extradition treaty.
We obtained nn ixtraditlon tieaty for thu

Samuel Stophlet, railroad man "I well
remember when 1 put on one of those Ca
nadian toboggan suits, the gaudy blanket
clothes, you know, and the toques and the
rest. It wns In Minneapolis, tho year ot
the first Ice palace they had there. The
dogs were very unused to that sort ot
thing, for the custom of wearing toboggan
clothes came over Minneapolis all of a
sudden, and they balked at us at a great
rate. The storming of the Ice palace was
the most beautiful thing I ever saw. I
was one of the party supposed to be de
fending the palace. We nit wore toboggan
suits, and wo were all provided with Ho.
man candles In profusion. The palace had
no roof, but that did not prevent the most
deafening racket. When one stood in one
of thuso Ice rooms, shooting Ttoinan
candles with ninny other men, and tli.-re
was a mortar shooting bombs nt intervals
ot every three or four minutes, the nolsn
was ulmost unendurable. But the beauty
of the whole thing was very great. I rec
ollect the day that the cornerstone was
I lid. We started out at about i o'clock In
the afternoon, and soon after It turned
very rold. The thermometer soon sank to
SO deg. below zero and befoie wo got
through It had reached 4Q deg. Thoso to
boggan suits ure very warm and very
light, but It so happened that my wrists
were unprotected that day. The result
was I suffered ft great deal, but only in
that respect."
Captain D. S. ITarrlman. Insurance "I
see by the papers they have sent me, the
Hoods they have had In New England this
spring have been the worst In thirty, per
haps fifty years. A great deal of snow fell
In New Enveland thl winter, which ac
counts for the high water. A great deal
of the snow on the mountains In Vermont
and New Hampshire does not melt until
June or August. Did you ever know that?
1 can remember seeing the snow on the
White mountains when 1 was a boy In
Maine. You see my father lived not very
fur from the New Hampshire (inc. Oh
yes, I have been In Portsmouth and Kit
tery many times. The navy yard at Kitten-
Is the only thing that keeps It alive,
and Kittery Is pntty neatly the only thing
which keens Portsmouth up. Portsmouth
Is an excellent type of the old stylo New
Kngland town. It was a very important
sea port town once, us you know, and did
u big business. But things arc very dif
ferent now. Still they have a big cotton
mill there which employs n considerable
number of hands. There are several such
big cotton mill in New Kngland. Oh yes,
there are muny of the old time New Kng
landers left In Portsmouth, but that Is
not the ease with some of those factory
towns In Vermont and New Hampshire.
There, in many instances, the factory
hands, are almost all French Canadians.
Only a few of the old stock are left, That
French Canadian business Is one of the
features of the time In New England."

standing on Union avenue nnd noticed n,
large woman working her way toward me

Judge J. S. West, Fort Scott. Kas. "The
Noah Strevll trial for the iituriler of Ids
father, which resulted In .1 verdict of ac
quittal after the Jury deliberated an hour
nnd fifteen minutes, was Hie most exciting
trial I have witnessed for some years. A
few elays after the old man was found
foully murdered In cold blood and before
any arrests had been made or the suspi
cion as to who could have committed the
deed fixed on any person, a young law
student of Fort Scott, unknown to .any
body, hied himself out to tho Strevel farm
and after a short talk with Noah's wife
got her to s-wear to a confession. In which
she slated thnt her husband had told her
on the night of the crime that he hail
murdered his father, and threatened to
kill her it she divulged the secret to a liv
ing soul. At the preliminary trial ot Noah
Strevel, the woman was present and tnl.l
her story, amid the greatest excitement.
She told it without a tlutter, however, nnd
the evidence was so strong that Noah was
bound over to appear In tho district court
without bail. A few days before the time
ret for the hearing of the case In the dis
trict court, Mrs. Strevel wns spirited awry
and e-onld not be found, high nor low. It
was supposed that the lawyers for the de-feuM-
had cognizance of the woman's
vvherealKiuts, but they strenuously denied
all knowledge of her hiding place, and of
course their word was good. She was
found In a few days near Fulton and
showed such antagonism for her husband
and so much anxiety to testify against
him that it woiked very largely In his
favor, and at the trial It must have preju
diced the jury, for they promptly found
him not guilty of Ihe crime. Did man
Strevel was a miser and very wealthy, and
as Noah Is the only heir, save n divorced
second wife, he will come Into possesaloa
of most of the property."
P. Doyle, Wellington, Kas. "The copious
