AN EVEN DISPOSITION.

When the Gods descended from
Olympus, as we are told in the old
Greek mythology, they were beseig-
ed by mankind for gifts. Some
begged tor gold. others, fame 9TH
ers, good health; and so on. One
modest man prayed that be might
never worry or grow angry He
was somewhat jerred and laughed
at, but time proved that his head
was level, by the fact that he out.
lived his contemporaries.
Experience is constantly proving
the true wisdom underlying this old
allegory. Neither hard work, nor
responsibility, or even organic dis"
ease, kill so many people as Unequal
ity of temper. The habitot worrying,
of getting angry, is as common as
ditch water, and more fatal to hu.
man we'll being than poison.
A quiet, unruffled, even DISPOSE
ton is to man like an invincible
armor against the varied ills of life.
AS the steel sides .of our ironclads
repel shot and she'll, soul thus ar
mored pushes aside great woes and
small irritations with an ease that
grows with age and experience.

CAPRIVI is OBDURATE.
HE REFUSES TO REDUCE THE
DUTY ON CEREALS.
A Loud Clamor in Germany for Free Grain
as an Antidote for the Russian Rye
Ukase-The st. Petersburg Press APP
proves the Ukase.

BERLIN, August 14.-At a meeting OF
the Silesian millers today it was decided
to send telegram to Chancellor Won
Caprivi, begging him to abolish the corn
duties, saying that otherwise the Rus
sian ukase was likely to ruin the milling
industry and throw housandss 81 iiaads
out of work. The Vossische Zeitung de.
mands temporary free entry for all pro-
visions and tea, coffee and petroleum,
and urges the abolition Of the prohibi-
tion, on American foods, and reductions
in freight rates. So far the chancellor
seems to be unmoved, and the ministers
support him. 1t is rumored that the
Russian railway administration refuses
to give the carriages for the transporta-
ton OF corn to the German frontier.
THE uKAsE APPROVED.
SIS. PETERSBURG; August 14.-The
Press, of this city, approves the ukase
prohibiting the expectation of rye. Re-
ports from the provinces says the fail
ure of winter sown cereals is almost
complete; prices of cattle are decreasing
and the peasants are selling their horses
to procure food. The bourse is agitated,
and prices are declining. Spectators
are busy freighting ships with cereals,
even unloading other cargoes for the
purpose of taking advantage of the in
terval before the ukase goes into opera
ton.
ACTIVITY OF THE BALTIMORE MARKET.
BALTIMORE. August 14.-The Russia
ukase prohibiting the expectation of
rye caused the price to go up today on
the corn and flour exchange, the high
est point reached being 95 cents a
bushel. In one week the market has
gone up IA cents. This rise, in connec-
ton with the corresponding one in
wheat, caused considerable activity on
the exchange.
AUSTRIAN EXPORTERS HAPPY.
VIENNA, August 14.-The rise of the
prices of grain promises splendid re-
turns to grain exporters, especially as
the Balkan harvests promise to be ex-
cellent and sufficient for Austrian home
consumption.

Associated Press Dispatches.
CHICAGO, August 14.-Contrary to the
general expectation, the local directory
OF the worlds fair at their meeting to-
night failed to take decisive action on
the nomination OF Messrs. Samuels and
Peabody for chiefs, respectively, of the
horticultural and liberal arts bureaus.
The nominations were hung up until
next meeting, to give time, it was
stated, for more thorough investiga-
tion as to the fitness of the candidates.
1t is understood that considerable oppo-
sition has developed to both gentlemen,
and the ultimate fate of the nominations
is uncertain. ia&
The directory has made important
changes in some of the state sites and
allare now permanently settled except
Iowa and South Carolina, which will be
acted on later. Among other changes
the triangular plot which has been as
signed to Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin
and Ohio, will be divided into quarters.
Indiana gets the southern portion, Wis

northwestern, and Ohio the north
eastern. The north tier will be changed
so as to give Montana, Georgia and
Idaho better sites.
The delay in construction is about all
over, and work has been resumed on
most of the buildings.
Mrs. Palmer, president of the board
of lady managers, has called a meeting
of that body for September I'd. A full
report of all the work done will be con-
sidered then, and Mrs. Palmer thinks
it would materially advance the inter-
ests of the women's work if the women
of the various states who have been
appointed on the state boards could be
present for conference.
The national board of control today
considered the matter of awards, and
decided to petition congress for an
amount sufficient to make the medals
and pay the salaries of the board of
Judges. Congress made an appropria-

CINCINNATI, August IA powder fac
tory located four miles below Hunting
ton, w. Va, was the scene of disas-
trous explosion today. The explosion
was in the glazing mill, building
which was twenty-five feet square and
two stories high. There were about
two tons of powder in it. John Bayless
and Timothy Cooney, workmen who
were in the building at the time, were
blown to pieces. Two bucketsful of
shreds of human flesh is all that can be
found of their bodies. George Wells,
who was'in house 300 yards away, had
his skull fractured by piece of debris
which few through the window, and he
will die. Three workmen in the big
mill 400 yards away, were severely in
jured by flying fragments Of the demol-
ished building. Several others were
slightly injured. Archie Livingston,
superintendent of the mill, who was
standing very near it, escaped without
injury. A daughter of Bayless, one of
the men blown to atoms, is lying at the
point Of death from grief. The cause OF
the explosion is unknown.

DEATH, OF MRS. POLK.
A Former Lady OF the White House
Passes Peacefully Away.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August 14.-Sur-
rounded by few loving friends and
relatives, Mrs. James K. Polk, wife of
the tenth president of the United States,
died at 7 80 this morning. She had full
possession of her mental faculties. She
had been in perfect health until
Wednesday, when she was taken with
her fatal illness. -
Mrs. Polk was bofn September 4,
1903, at Murfreesboro. She married Mr..
Polk when still in her teens, and lived
continuously in Nashville, except when
in Washington during the congressional
career of her distinguished husband,
and while mistress of the white house.
For the past sixty years she lived in
seclusion. President Polk left very
large estate at the time of his death,
but in the civil war nearly everything
was destroyed or lost, Mrs. Polk's in
come dwindling down until half dozen
years ago, when she found herself we'll
nigh penniless. When bill was intro
duced in congress to grant the widow
OF President Lincoln pension of $4,000
a year, it lacked one vote in the senate
to secure its passage. That was the
vote of Senator Jackson, of Tennessee.
He offered to vote for the bill providing
it was so amended as to give annual
pensions of $4,000 to Mrs. Polk and the
widow of President Tyler, as we'll as
Mrs. Lincoln, and the bill became law.
Since that time Mrs. Polk had lived on
this pension.
One of the physicians who was con-
stantly at Mrs. Polk's bedside from the
time she became i'll, when called
upon this morning by reporter,
spoke in an affecting manner of the
death bed scene. He said he had never
known grander character than that of
Mrs. Polk.
A large number of kilograms of con-
dolence have been received from promi-
nent people in all parts of the country,
and the flag on the state capitol has
been placed at half-mast. The funeral
will occur Sunday morning. The re-
mains will be placed in the vault along
side those of her distinguished husband.

Hagan, of New York, testified as to the

the parlors of San Francisco join in the
celebration which the Native Sons and
Pioneers are jointly arranging for Ad-
