BURNS COTTAGE.

Every Year Thousands of Visitors Find
Their Way Thither.
Every summer, says the London Truth,
thousands of visitors make pilgrlmages to
the cottage in which Robert Burns was
born, near Alloway Kirk and the banks O.
Doom. They are shown the room in which
the poet first saw the light, as we'll as the
original furniture used by Burns pa
rents. Will it be believed that all the gen
uine original furniture of the cottage was
sold off by public roup in September, 1913,
most of it being now in the possession of a
gentleman in Manchester, who wants II, COG
for the following articles: The fathers
chair, the mothers chair, the poets
chair, Pembroke table with flap, an
other without flap. the mothers
day clock, corner cupboard, drinking cup
of wood, ale-horn, table-bell. tea-caddy,
toddy-ladle, twelve chairs supplied by ''the
Miller Goud1e,'' the sword worn by Burns
as an exciseman and the probe he used on
his preventive excursions. All these are au-
thenticated by letters from men who had
seen them before 1913. The seller throws
in five visitors books-from 1929 to 1913
containing 1000 autographs, as well as a
letter of the poets. Here is a chance for
some Scotch museum or Burns club. They
were offered for sale to the secretary for
Scotland, but his secretary wrote that,
be given to the nation. The seller replied
that, as the nation had never given him
anything, he did not see his way to carry
out the proposal. A sixpence from every
member of Burns club would secure the
collection,

Tanned by Perfumes.

Wild animals are completely fascinated
and can be tanned by perfumes. There was
a Mrs. Lee in India who had tame leopard
that played in the house with her children.
He was very inquisitive, as all of that cat
tribe are, and loved to stand on his hind
legs and with his fore-paws ON the window
sill look out at the passers-by.
When the children wanted the place for
themselves they would all take hold of his
tail and pull him down by that. He was
generally very amiahle, but sometimes. his
claws being very sharp, the children were
scratched. So Mrs. Lee taught Sal to keep
his claws sheathed by giving him when he
did SO a little paper tray on which lavender
had been dropped.
This would throw him into transports OF
delight. He would tear the paper into bits
and roll over with them on the floor. With
nothing but bottle of lavender water,
have become the best of friends with a leo
pard, a tigress and a lioness in the menag.

1t rained in Helena several hours yester-

everybody was willing to bear the incon-
venience as long as it was benefit to the
state at large. 1t has been raining more or
less every day for a week now, and the
people are beginning to think we are about

but Montana can stand all she gets of it fol
the next two or three weeks. It interferes
considerably with the building operations,
but is building up prosperity for the
rancher and farmer.

A Terrible Cyclone.

terrible cyclone passed over the south
ern part of Franklin county Saturday
morning. The path OF the cyclone extend
ed from near the county line TO the Ale
gheny river. No trains have arrived in the
Allegheny Valey,railroad since the previous
night on account of slides and o bad wreck
about miles south OF Franklin, where the
cyclone struck the river. The storm was
general throughout the county, but tho
deadly cyclone, about 200 feet wide, ex-
tended about p miles. Everything in its
path was demolished, trees uprooted and
houses and barns completely destroyed.
In one instance a house containing an inva-
lid was struck and the bed containing the
sick man lifted up bodily and carried out
into the yard where it brought up against a
tree. The sick man was badly injured.
The most disastrous cloudburst aud cy.
clone ever known struck Oil City, Penn,
about IL p. III. Saturday. Houses, barns,
bridges, oil well rigs and gas lines are in
ruins. AT East Sandy, eight miles from
there, the residence of William Nunne-
macher was blown down, burying the en-
tire family in the ruins. Mr.. and Mrs.
Nunnemacher are seriously injured, and
their two children will die of their injuries
On Sunday the effects OF the tornado
which tore through the southern part Of
Akron, O, were examined thoroughly and
showed that everything was swept clean in
its path, which extended mile and a half.
In a trip over the storms path nineteen
dwellings were counted that were entirely
ripped into kindling wood or so badly
wrecked that they cannot be occupied. OF
the eighteen persons who were injured all
will probably recover.
Several violent storms in the form Of
tornadoes have occurred in different parts
of north Missouri within the past two days
and large amount of property has been
destroyed and number OF persons killed.

The Women Who are Wanted.

Men often admire women for their
intellectual culture, THEN skill in music,
or their taste in matters of dress; but
they do not love women because they
possess these distinguishing qualities.
Brainy women so called have a great
many admirers, but they are not in de-
mand in the matrimonial market; at
lest they are not fought over TO any
great extent.
Businessmen want wives who are
competent to manage the domestic end
of their business, and not such as have
to be managed. or who want to man.
aye all or nothing. The latter usually
wreck the business of the firm, or keep
the man in such a state of worry that
he only gets along tolerably well.
A sensitive, sensible businessman
doesn't want wife who poses as the
head of the domestic concern; who car
ries the purse and the night key. and
practically wears the trousers. There
are some men who like such wives, but
they are exceptions to the rule.
The best husbands in the land want
wives who are intelligent. practical,
and affectionate; who take pride in
AiOil hOubCoy lCCl Ill tuC SUI
cess of their husbands, and are ready
TO share either fortune or misfortune.
Such woman is brave, generous, and
independent, and will command the
respect of any honest, courteous man
in the land. 1t will not be asked of
her whether she speaks French or plays
high-class music on the piano.
A man wants a wife of whom he is
proud, either at home or abroad. He
wants her to be neat, tidy, and we'll
hammered. 1t is not really necessary
that she be pretty. but she must be
agreeable, of kindly disposition, loving.
and affectionate.
The woman who is fitting herself for
the position of wife should be careful
not to bank very heavily on either her
pretty face or good shape, nor even on
her boarding-school accomplishments
These are good enough to secure
passing admiration. but they are not
just the points sensible man looks
for when he starts out to select wife.
He prefers good, everyday common
sense, gentleness of disposition, and
soulful affection.-ht tSburg CONNER

Thirteen Paupers Burned.

A Utica, n. Y, dispatch says that the
Chenango county poorhouse burned We'd
nesday night. The building was located
in Preston six miles from Utica. The fire
was discovered in the north wing, where
the idiots were kept There were no pro-
visions for extinguishing the flames. The
keepers and neighoors gave their attention
to getting out the l25 paupers and insane,
and let the building burn. These were all
rescued, but IL idiots are missing, and two
women who were not idiots are reported
fatally burned. The building was three
stories high and built of wood. The insane
asylum was also a wooden building, two
stories high, aud only separated from the
poorhouse by a driveway. The property is
estimated worth $50, 600, and is insured for
so, 900. The Universalist and Baptist
churches have been opened for the recep-
ton Of the unfortunates. A woman was
in the idiot department smoking. She put
her pipe in her pocket and was soon envel-
oped i n flames and later died from the
effects of the burns. 1t is supposed that
some of the idiots got hold Of some matches
and in playing with them set fire to the
building
The sjgat of the screaming wretches at
the Ire was bad enough, but the next day
there was sadder spectacle in weeping
relatives seeking in vain for some tldings
of some member OF their family. Men
coming up town TO dinner were startled
by seeing lunatic parading tho streets
rejoicing in his freedom and menacing
women until he was secured. Paying
patients Jared best, but the great loss was
among those confined in the upper stories
and among those imprisoned in the dark
basement cells. Fire Commissioner Perry
characterzes the buildings as "A death trap
and as disgrace to a civilized country.

The Detroit Postomce Funds.

DETROIT, May 12.-The Evening Journal
prints a special from its Washington cor
respondent in which it is stated that eX-
Representative Maybury claimed that the
appropriation for the Detroit postoffice
building had been reduced 1928, 900, with
nothing to show for it but hole in the
ground. Mr.. Windrim declined to discuss
the matter at all and intimated he had
grave doubtsl whether May bury made the
statement. The correspondent adds: Il
learn, however, that Mayburys charge is
not entirely without truth, although 1t is
impossible at this time TO tell II the figures
are accurate. Since l called Windrim's
attention to the matter he has had accounts
investigated and some queer things in con-
nection with them, it is understood, have
come TO light. Vouchers, etc, on the file
in the treasury department show, 1T is al
legged, that just before the election super
intendent OF Construction Brown hired a
crowd of men who nominally figured on tho
pay rolls as ''laborers." Many Of these
men according TO information now at hand,
were only given employment for day or
two before election ana the BELIEF is they
were hired so they would vote the demo
cratic ticket There is II suspicion that
some of them were not even naturalized,
but this fact has not yet been established
and naturally might be very difficult to
prove 1t is not known whether other
irregularities will be proved, but enough
has already come out to lead Windrim to
believe that the appropriation has been, to
put it in its mildest form, extravagantly

THE CAPITAL.
THE TARIFF DEBATE IN THE
HOUSE WAKES WARM.
Some Members Are Evidently Talking
Buncombe.
Gne Minute Speeches Allowed.
WASHINGTON, May 13.

10.
The senate in its usual grave and slow
way is now debating the silver BILL Sena-
tor Jones opening. He pronounced the de-
monetzation Of silver by the United States
rs a stupendous act OF folly and injustice.
II had proved the prolific parent Of en-.
forced idleness., poverty and misery. No
better remedy could be applied than the alb
solute reversal Of that Legislation ana put
ting back the monetary system OF the coun-
try To what IL was before 1873.
After the reading OF the journal, Mr.. Nc
kinley OF Ohio, moved that the general
debate on the tariff bill be limited TO one
minute. The motion was agreed to (after
two roll calls) and the house went into
committee of the whole on the tariff bill.
No one desiring to occupy the one minute,
the clerk proceeded to read the bill by par
agraph, for amendments. Several amend
ments were offered, when Mr.. GrCsvenor
threw a frebrand into the debate by the
declaration that two years ago the leader
OF the greatest and most extortionate tru st
in the country came to the capitol, marched
in o the dark chamber OF the ways and
means committee, and tguratively took the
majority OF the committee by the hand and
shook tree sugar out OF II. This opened up
very heated controversy participated IN
by Grosvelor and Mcmillan OF Tennessee.
FINALLY MIR. Grosvenor disclaimed the idea
of charging that any body ou the ways and
means committee of the last congress had
been improperly approached. His charge
was that the democratic party professed 10
the country that the protective tariff slim
ulated trusts and that when that party had
an opportunity to strike blow against the
most dangerous trust in the country il did
not do so. He did not thank any gentle
man 10 apologize TO him for that utterance.
The first bill ever aimed at trusts was
aimed by republican senate, passed by a
republican house and signed by republi-
can president; and it did not lie in the
mouth OF anybody TO say that the republi-
can party was upholding the trusts Of the
country.
Mr.. Allen OF Michigan, desired to allay
the fears of his friends on the opposite side
byIbringing the good news that in view OF the
fact the Mckinley bill would be law with
i'm 40 days all the staple farm products OF
the country were advancing in price, and
that the people were becoming satisfied
that the measure was q deathblow 10 the
trusts and free trade combined.
The debate on amendments continued but
with no result up to the hour of adjourn
ment
The secretary of war sent TO congress the
report OF the DO ird OF army engineers with
regard To the Detroit tunnel. The conclu-
sions of the board are that the construction
of tunnel is practicable, at al estimated
cost OF s3,50O, 900, exclusive of land dam
ages, for a single track railway, and that
there is no objection to authorizing its con-
struction under the bed of the river.

Reed'a New Attorneys.

GRAND RAPIDS, May l3.-Spirit Post
master Reed, convicted in the United
States court of using the mails for fraud
and whose case reviewed on
motion for a new trial, has dis
missed his original corps of attorneys and
employed an entire new set, who will base
reasons for new trial on other grounds
than those at first proposed. The old attor-
neys proceeded as though spiritualism Was
on trial, but the new realizes that facts
were proven that Reed received letters
containing money and failed to respond or
return the cash, and allege about 80 errors
on the part of the court in the trial OF the
the case. The constitutional point will be
raised that the government has no right to
exercise censorship over the mails and
cannot interfere with citizens cores
ponpeuce. The present law, it is declared,
was passed as a war measure against
treason and has remained on the statute
books unchallenged

cretly so as TO avoid getting license on
this side which would have made the mar
riage public at once. But it did become

shed, locked up, he only having key. In
his buggy were found several packages OF
sugar, sardihes, whisky. cake and other
stuff for the convicts Warden Berggren

retts friends say that il is n put up Job by
the convicts because he is severe with
them, but this is laughed at by the officers.
1t is we'll known that the entire affair has
not yet got out of the prison, and 1t Is said
that conspiracy for a wholesale escape,
including the three Cronin murderers, was
about to be made and that the solitary is
