DRUM SENT FOR HIS BETROTHED.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. News of
Andrew Drum, who absconded with a
large sum of money on July 20 last, be-
longing to the firm Of Andrew Drum &
Co., large cattle dealers of this city, has
been received. About four weeks since
Miss Gertrude Dean, to whom Drum was
engaged to be married and who lives here,
received letter from her fiance post
marked London. England. which told her
TO meet his brother in New York and he
would conduct her TO him. 1t is under
stood that Miss Dean left the city at that
time but nothing could be learned of her
present whereabouts. At the time the
letter was received Major Drum, the
senior member of the firm, had his
nephew located but the detectives lost
track of him and it has not been known
since where he is. Officers are still after
him and Ii found he will be brought back
to this city and prosecuted. Mrs. Dean
received letter brief time since for
Drums mother, who lives III OHIO, stating
that if her son was arrested the trial
would develop something which would
place Drums prosecutors in a not rose
colored'' light. In his letter to Miss Dean,
Drum intimated something of the same
kind and also stated that if all were
known he would not be blamed for taking
the money. How much he appropriated
is not known, but the amount is supposed
to be between SIS, 900 and $40, 900.

The Streets of Paris.

Paris keeps its streets clean by not permit
ting them to get dirty. An American I'M
suspiciously tore letter in two and dropped
the pieces in the gutter recently, just as he
had doubtless done q hundred times at home
A moment later policeman invited him to
retrace his steps and gather up the fragments
of waste paper, on the penalty of being ar
rested. The American was a sensible man,
and, instead OF protesting that America was
the only free country on earth, he then and
there learned valuable lesson, and subse-
quently expressed his admiration of a city
which showed such respect for itself.-San

SOME DAY.

You smooth the tangles from my hair,
With gentle touch and tenderest care,
And count the years ere you shall mark
Bright silver threads among the dark
Smiling the while to hear me say:
you'll think Of this again some dayr'
Some dayl
do not scorn the power Of time,
Nor count on years Of fadeless prime;
But no white CLEANS will ever shine
Among those heavy locks OF mine.
All, laugh as gayly as you may
You'll think Of this again some day
Some day,
Some day 1 shall not feel, as now.
Your soft hands move about my brow:
/ shall not wait for light commands,
And draw your tresses through my hands;
But you will see no touch Of gray
And you-you will not laugh some day
Some day!
And while your tears are falling hot
Upon the lips which answer not,
You'll take from these one treasured tress,
And leave the rest to silentness,
Remembering that used to say:
you'll think of this again some day

were believed to be correct. Since then,
however, the regular reports had come in

values had been shown. The men
who had been officially conducting
the business had been buying good deal

was up and had been obliged to sell out at

holders desired that the American Cotton
Oil trust be merged into the American
Cotton Oil company and that committee
be appointed to consider the plans and ar
rangements for the purpose, to report at
an adjourned meeting of the certificate
holders. The resolution was adopted and
the committee appointed. The meeting

The F1apping of a Fly's Wing.

The slow tapping Of butterfy's wing pro-
duces no sound, but when the movements are
rapid noise is produced, which increases in
shrillness with the number of vibrations
Thus the house fly, which produces the sound
+, vibrates its wings 81, l2O times a minute, or
335 times in second; and the bee, which
makes sound of A, as many as 90, 400 times,
or 40 times in second. On the contrary, q
tired bee huns on E, and therefore, accord
ing to theory, vibrates its wings only $50
times in a second. Marcy, the naturalist,
after many attempts, has succeeded by deli
cate mechanism in confirming these numbers
graphically. He fixed fly so that the tip of
the wing just touched cylinder, which was
moved by clockwork. Each stroke OF the
wing caused a mark, Of course very sight,
but still quite perceptible and thus showed
that there were actually $50 strokes in sec
ond, agreeing almost exactly with the num-
Der of vibrations inferred from the note pro-
duced.-Sir John Lubbock.

Congressman Thomas, Hatch and Burnett in
Town Last Night.
Congressman Thomas, of Illinois, Hatch,
of Missouri, and Burnett, of Massachusetts,
were In the city last night on their way to
Washington from Franklin, Pa. They had
been spending Sunday with Messrs. Miller
and Sipley at the latter's celebrated stock
breeding farm IN Venango county.
Congressman Thomas is the most prom

of Secretary OF the Navy under the new ad-
minlstration. He said last night he was
very thankful for the kind editorial notices
he had received from the newspapers in re-
gard to the matter, but he excused himself,
refraining to speak on the subject. AS he
had no assurance that the place would be
rendered him, he would not say what he
would do.
Colonel Hatch, who is an ardent follower
of Democracy, said, in regard to what Pres
ident Cleveland would do when he retired
from office:
''Mr. Cleveland will live like gentleman
and behave himself for four years. Then
he will bob up again, and he will just
smash things by making clean sweep

SOUTHSIDE HOSPITAL


Discussed Last Evening by the Southsids
Medical Society-Patients suffering for
the Lack of One-Modes of Raising the
Funds.
The Southside Medical Society held It's
regular meeting last evening at DR.. Con-
nor's, on Mt. Oliver. After the usual
programme had been gone through with,
the subject of hospital for the Southside
was brought up and discussed by nearly all
present. DIR. Thomas first started the ball
rolling. He said:
1t is cleary evident to all that we are sadly in
need of hospital here on the Southslde, and
there is no danger but what project OF this
kind would receive the hearty Endorsement of
this society. The Southside with It's out.laying
wsrds now numbers nearly iU,VO popuiatlon,
consisting principally of artisans, mechanics
and those that fill hospitals. And, that we
need one is every day manifested by cases
brought to our notice where injured do not re-
ceive proper care because of the distance to
the other hospitals and their inability to be on
the scene of action and provide for all cases OF
accidents.
DR.. Burleigh said: "The need is evident
enough. and If some one outside of the pro-
fession would only take hold of it, it seems
to me that enough funds might be raised to
start it, when an appropriation could be
gotten. A good wav would be to hire a
solicitor to work it up." )
Dr. Mundorff stated that it was hard to
get patients into the hospitals when they
should be, and cited numerous cases where
the patients suffered from that cause.
DR.. Kress said: "There are not less than
80 doctors on the Southside, and there is not
one but could afford to give a months fees
toward establishing hospital, but the cor
porations, and the ones whose hearts are in
this subject, are the ones to work it up"
The meeting then adjourned to the din
ing room, where spread was set out by DR..
Conner. The subject will probably be dis
cussed again.

and the prospects for the manufacrure or Dees

My relations with King Kalakua and the

In regard to the Samoan difficulty / think

for the simple reason she has no defense. Be-
