TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. NV. II. Mo
Bride, superintendent of insurance,
said this morning that he would take
steps at once to prevent insurance COM
panies from doing business in this
state which refused to appoint agents

EXIT FONSECA.

The Brizflian President Who Declared
Himself dictator Compelled to Retire.
LONDON, Nov. 24.-Dispatches from
Rio de Janerio bring the intelligence
that the opposition to Dictator Fonseca
has gathered sufficient force to break
through the barriers erected by the
government to hold it in check and to
make itself master of the situation. No
details have as yet been received as to
the methods adopted. All that is known
is that the uprising was so formidable
that Fonseca decided that it was inn
possible to longer maintain his ascend
ancy and surrendered his authority.
In retiring, or resigning as he called
It, he declared that he did SO in favor
of Floriano Peixotto. the vice-presi-
dent or vice-chief of the provisional
government. of which Fonseca was the
head Whether the opposition will be
content to allow Piexotto, about whom
little is known here, to assume the
leadership of state is not known. It is
not believed that he will be permitted
to act as chief executive, even tempo
rarily, unless he is in sympathy with
the ideas and principles of the leaders

caused by the trip and the unfortunate
effects of high attitudes, alkali dust

his age and uncertain health did not
fortify him against such violent at
tack as came upon him.

PARALYSIS and Speech.

One of the most noticeable results Of
slight attack of paralysis is the ten
dency to substitute the wrong word, or
even sentence, for that which is intend
ed, quite unconsciously on the part of
the speaker, who cannot comprehend
why he is not understood. One patient
felt very much discouraged because he
asked to have the window shut when
he meant to say: Fetch me some
water" DR.. A, who is noted spe-
cialist in such troubles, related to .
New York Tribune reporter the follow
ing incident: "A prominent man in Bos-
ton, who had slight shock, but who
apparently had quite recovered, wished
some nails, and went into hardware
shop to purchase them. 4 want dog
en- or SO of archangels,' he said to the
somewhat mystified clerk. We do not
keep them, SIR was the response.
That is odd,' said Mr.. b, and he
went into another shop and asked again
for archangels. Again the smiling
clerk told him they did not have them.
Quite vexed at his failure to procure
such simple things as small nails, he
tried the third time with like result,
and finally gave it up in despair. 4
never saw anything like the stupidity
of these shopkeepers,' he declared to
his wife at dinner. 4 went into three
hardware shops after archangels and
could not get them After what? ex-
claimed his wife: and it was not until
she explained her establishment that he
realized what mistake he had made"

FoR nearly four years the combined
wisdom of the Catholic prelates at
Rome has been engaged in discussing
the validity of marriage ceremony
performed by Methodist minister be-
tween members of the Catholic church.
The case arose in Connecticut, and on
appeal the authorities of the ecclesias-
teal tribunal at Rome declared the
marriage valid. Of course its legal
validity could not be questioned, as the
laws Of Connecticut are supreme, but
the appellant had religious scruples and
SO at last was told that he had no case.
This is right and shows that eccles las
ticism progresses with the age.

A Place for Study.

Nowhere can the effect of light and
shade, climate and atmospheric pres
sure be studied to better advantage
than in the great canyons of the west.
The Grand Canyon of the Colorado Is
about fifteen miles wide at the top and
six thousand feet deep. 1t is intersected
by gulches and side canyons of gigantic
dimensions. 1t has lodges. terraces and
mesas, barren crags and grassy slopes,
lofty mountains and deep valleys, cool
hillsides clad in forests of balsam frs,
and hot bottoms filled with subtropical
thickets. 1t has arid stretches of sand
bearing scattered growth of cactus
and yucca, and marshes and springs
that never become dry and are hidden
by the verdure of multitude of plants
requiring q moisture laden atmos-
phere for their existence. Its an
imal life is as sharply varied and
as strongly contrasted. In descend
ing from the plateau level to the
bottom of the CANTON a succession Of
temperature zones is encountered equiv
alent to those stretching from the CO.
niferous forests Of northern Canada to
the cactus plains Of Mexico. These
zones result from the combined effect
Of altitude and slope exposure, the
effects of the latter being here mani
tested in an unusual degree. -. The
