An American biologist, who returne d
recently from years study in the Ger
man laboratories, declares that the
Woods Hall (Iass.) laboratory is now
doing more research work than any other
institution of its kind in the world, tine
Naples Station alone excepted. There is
certainly no doubt that the most emf
nent of foreign biologists are taking a
profound interest in it, as their letters
to DR.. Whitman, the specialist in charge,
testify

There is a good deal of profit in the
prophet business in Java. A prophet of
that island has been paid S400 year for

a tidal wave which will sweep clear over

be very enterprising, concludes the New
York Tribune. With the amount OF
credulity ready at hand to work upon,

Grow th of the Poetry Habit.

"When began writing verse;" said
Mr.. Whittier once to the writer, 'it was
considered great gift to be able to
make rhyme with any facility. Percival
and Bryant were the active poets then.
Now almost any one can turn a couplet
or stanza and many write poetry which
in a less voluminous time would be re.
garded as remarkable" Nothing so
emphasizes the advance in general cul.
ture in this country as the fact indi-
Gated by Mr.. Whittier in that remark.
1t is a more difficult thing to achieve
reputation as poet now than half
century ago, and there is no occasion to
grieve because we have SO many "verse

A Lily.likc Cucumb, +.

The Indian cucumber is sort of lily,
which grows in great abundance in
almost every part of this country,
and is said to be an excel
lent remedy for the dropsy. The best
part of the cucumber Is the root, which
grows in the size of two inches in length
by one in thickness, and was formerly
eaten raw by the Indians just as we eat
cucumbers. Its medicinal virtues were
discovered by some old woman in Penn
sylvania, and afterwards admitted by the
doctors, which is not the only case of
the efficacy of an old womsn's remedy
being acknowledged by the medical pro
fession. Chicago Herald,

RECOMPENSE.

When the haze Of autumn days
Settles over dale and hill,
And the notes from wood-birds throats
Break the silence deep and still
When the breezes bring chill.
Then we feel over us steal
Something of sadness and dread,
Sweet regret and yearnings yet
For the summer that is dead,
For the sunshine that is fled.
But we know every woe
Has joy-not wholly sighs
Is our life, not wholly strife.
Though we miss the sun we prize,
1t is farewell to the flies.

SOUTHERN WAR CLAIMS,

Hundred of Millions of Dollars Worth
Pressed for Payment by Democrats.
The committee on war claims have re-
ported in favor of more than $40, ,OOO, 900
worth of claims for damages caused by
the devastation of war. If there is any
thing settled in law it is that no nation
ever undertakes to repair the damages
of war. Where the accident of destruc-
ton falls, there it rests. But there is
grave danger at this very moment that
we shall at this late day be cajoled into
vast payments in that behalf. These
claims come to US under the sanction of
religious societies, to pay for rent of
chuuCAtE, to pay for damages to schools
and colleges. Each is for small amount,
but the aggregate will appall the coun-
try. In addition to the $4,000, 900 al
ready reported by the committee on war
claims S4OO, O,OOO,O 900 and perhaps $500, ,OOo,-
600 of such claims have been referred to

SOLDIERS DESERT GROVER,

General Beers Tells the Old Soldiers
Why He Cannot Support Cleveland.
Mr.. Cleveland is not popular with the
boys in blue. General Sickles, the one
legged veteran, who reiterated at Wash
ington his belief and hope that the old
soldiers will not vote for Cleveland, has
an earnest supporter in General E. o.
Beers, of the Thirtieth New York regi-
ment, brave and valuable officer OF the
war. In Ions; letter to the old soldiers
General Beers says:
81 have arrived at the age oS fully
threescore and have been a h6slong
Democrat. But l am fully satisfied that
Mr.. Cleveland is not the friend az the
soldier boys of 1875 and is not em8itled
to and should not receive our sxpport.
1t seems very plain to me that with the
past record of Grover Cleveland H any
veteran casts his ballot for him he not
only stulti6es himself, but goes back
upon every comrade of'the Union army.
We must not let General Apathy run
this campaign; let us enlist once more
under General Activity and carry ON
one more vigorous campaign in the
maintenance of our rights"
In another part of the letter he says:
"Mr. Cleveland occupied the presiden-
tial chair for four years, but have yet
to learn of an instance where he inter-
ested himself in the procurement of a
single pension, no matter how worthy
or needy the applicant On the con-
trary, his almost universal use of the
veto on pension bills is a convincing ar
gument of his hostility to granting PEN

DEATH OF LORD TENNYSON.

Calm as tho Life he Led.

rhe Last Hours of the Poet Laureate as
Calm tho Life he Led.
Lord Tennyson died at his home, Add
Aorth, near Haslemere, Surrey, England,
On Thursday of last wea!l. His passing
away was peaceful and calm. All the
members of the family We're at his bed
side. His last words were q few affec-
gionate ut.erances addressed to his wife
about ali hUur before his death.
Tennyson's death was a fitting close of
his noble life. There was no artificial
light in the room and the chamber was
almost III darkness, save where a broad
food of moonlight poured in through
western window. The moons rays fell
across the bed upon which the dying man
lay, battling him in their pure, pellucid
light, and forming a Rembrandt like
background to the scene. All was silent
save the soughing of the autumn wind
IS it gently played through the trees sur
rounding the house, fitting requiem for
the gentle poet, who sang of love and the
beauties Of nature.
Alfred Tenny son was born August 6.
1909, at SOmerby, Lincolnshire, England,
n little village lying about midway be.
tween the market towns of Spisby and
HOrncastle, and containing less than
hundred inhabitants. His father, the
Rev. George Clayton Tennyson, was rec.
tor of Somerby and of the adjacent par
ish of Enderby. Alfred was the third of
family of twelve children.
Early in life Tennyson began writing
poems. In 1923 he and his brother
Charles published a small volume of
their poetical elfusions at LOuth. 1t was
entitled Poems, by Two Brothers. "
Alfred made more important venture
in 1880, when he published "Poems,
Chiefly Lyrical" a small volume. but
containing areat things and the promise
of things still greater. Among a large
number of other poems published later
in life are Iis. "Idylls of the King, ~"
"Locksley Halt" "In Memoriam, " The
Holy Grail, "Locl;sley Hall, Sixty Years
After, and "The Princess" which will
render his memory immortal.
In 1850 he was made poet laureate, il
is understood at tie direct request, of
Queen Victoria, who had long admired
his genius. He succeeded Wordsworth.
The funeral services were held in the
Parish Church at Hasenere on Monday.
On Wednesday tie remains were inferred
in the Poets Corner at Westminster
Abbey, where they lie next to the tomb
of Browning.

voted down, the motion, however, re-
ceiving II votes, of which 16 were cast
by Democrats and Farmers Alliance
members-nearly all of them from the
south. When the bill went into confer

however, was to get the total appropria-

thrown at him and his wife. The mis-

of General Weaver's engagements. Mrs.
Lease, who was with the party, thus tells
the story:
''No, | did not speak at Macon" she
said, although I went there with the
intention of so doing. After supper at
the Lanier House General Weaver went
upon the front porch, Mrs. Weaver and

DEATH TO BANDITS.
THE DALTON GANG AT LAST MEET
THEIR DOOM.

/ The Greatest Outlaws in the World Try to
Rob Two Banks and are Fought to the
Death-Died With Their Boots On
| Their Depredations.
The Dalton gang of desperadoes
raided two banks at Coffeeville, Kan
sas, and in the fight which followed four
citizens and four of the outlaws were
killed and three citizens fatally wounded.
The citizens of Coffeeville had long been
expecting raid from the Daltous, and
an armed patrol had been ON the watch
for weeks. During the past week, how
ever, vigilance had relaxed, and when
six of the gang rode into town at $50 a.
m., they found nobody to oppose them.
They rode straight to the First National
and c. NJ. Congdon & Co.'S banks, Bob
Dalton and his brother entering the first,
and the four others the latter bank.
T,eir horses were tied in an alley near.
The bandits had no trouble in tertify-
ing the bank clerks on duty, and soon
had S2Uj 600 stuffed in sacks ready for
flight Meantime alarm had been given,
and City Marshal Connolly hurriedly
gathered posse and posted them i'll the
square facing the two banks. Bob and
Emmett Dalton were the first to appear,
the former carrying a sack containing
S1O5, 100. Tie bandits made a dash for
their horses, but Bob Dalton fell dead
ovet his bag of money, shot through the
head by II Winchester in the hands Of
Jim Sp "rs. Emmet Dalton reached his
horse and got off. The firing brought
out the other bandits from Congdon &
co. s bank. A general battle then took
place in the square, and at the end of it
three more bandits lay dead and four
citizens were dead, and three mortally
wounded.
In the meantime mounted men had set
off i'll pursuit of Emmett Dalton, and he
was soon Overtaken and shot. The only
bandit who escaped was Allie Ogee, who
reached his horse, and, although he was
lotly pursued, got away in the direction
IF the Indian Territory.
The dead aud wounded of this remark
able raid are as follows: Bob Dalton,
desperado. shot through the head; Grant
Dalton, desperate, shot through the
heart; Emmet Dalton, desperate, shot
through the left side; Joseph Evans, des-
perado, shot through the head; John
Moor, "Texns Jack" desperate, shot
through the head; r. G. Connolly, city
marshal, shot through the body; L. NJ.
Baldwin, bank clerk, shot through the
head; G. W. Cubine. merchant, shot
through the head; G.. J. Brown, shoe
maker, shot through the body.
The Daltons Were as desperate a lot Of
bandits as ever lived. They were all
born in Kansas, and were second cousins
to the James boys, and were also related
to the Younger brothers. They were
cattle thieves, but finally took
to robbing mail coaches and trains.
Their depredations have been too numer-
Gus to chronicle in detail. Train after
train had been held up by them, and
frequently they have been almost within
the clutches of the officers of the law.
They have been the subjects of long and
liligent quest by United States marshaIs
and their deputies, sheriffs of counties.
and city marshals of aspiring towns.
| hey have had number of pitched bat
les, and several sheriffs and United |
