Patent Grave Marker.

The expense of Il funeral i'll Il large
city has grown To such proportions that
the average man commits more extrav-
agance in the act of dying than he ever
did during life 1t has been suggested
that a much less costly form of grave
stone than usually erected would meet
all The requirements of affectionate re-
memhrance and respect. and the sugges-
ton has been carried into effect in the
patenting of grave marker" This is
simply memorial leaf. II consists of
two outer plates bent 50 as 10 form n
holder for leaves or tablets. adapted to
be suspended from frame TO receive
and retain objects desired to be kept as
mementos of the deceased.
The tablets beneath the outer plates
can be designed in any desired form.
and as they have slides Of mica or trans
parent material to protect the tokens
any object such as photographs. sketches,
etc. can be inserted. For instance. a
sketch of the life of the departed or a
portrait or Il lock of hair can be placed
in the receptacle. where it is securely
protected from the weather. and as it il
covered by mica it will last for many
years without bleaching or decaying.-

Antido,es for snak. Venom.

Snake bites are always dangerous and
should be attended toas soon as possible.
as the venom spreads very rapidly. par
ticularly in warm weather. The follow
ing recipe is perfectly reliable and. be-
ing simple, is easily obtained. Take an
onion and cut it crosswise and hold one
half of it on the wound until it turns
green. Apply persistently and the
onion will finally draw out all the
poison. Many old woodsmen will not
be without several onions at certain
times of year when in the woods.
The old white haired darky that first
gave me this recipe has spent the best
portion of his life in the swamps. where
the rattlesnake. copperhead and other
deadly reptiles abound. and he assured
me he has never known ii to fail. A
strong ligature should he tied tightly
above and below the bite TO prevent the
poison spreading through the system

simple remedy is equally as good for

YACHT RAGE NOW SURE
New York Club Accepts Lord
 Dunraven's Challenge.
DECIDED BY AN UNANIMOUS VOTE

The Committee Appointed to Consider
 the Matter Made 8 Favorable Report
 Concessions By Both Sides-Yachtina
 People Delighted.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-At 8 special meet ing of the New York Yacht Club, held last evening at their club house, it was unanimously decided to accept the Royal Lord Dunraven for the America's Cup, which means there will be an interna- tional yacht race next year.
 Some months ago Lord Dunraven wrote to Secretary Oddie that he was desirous ot challenging for the America's Cup if cer. tain objectionable fea atures in the deed o1 gift could be removed.
 The New York Yacht Club appointed 6 committee of five, consisting of Gen Paine, Archibald Roberts, James Q D. Smith, Nathan A. Fish and A. Class Can field, to endeavor to bring about race with his lordshlp.
 The committee went to work with q vii and soon it began to look as though ther' would be race. Both sides made conces sions Under the mutual agreemen clause the committee practically elimi mated the objectionable dimension clause and Lord Dunraven consented to challeng' under the new deed of gift.
 After the challenge was received tn com mittee thought that it was hardly il accordance with his lordship's letters, ant some lively cablegraming followed. Every thing, however, came out all right, ant the committee, at the conclusion of it's re port, recommended the acceptance of the challenge, which was done inside of thirt minutes, and the good news cabled t. Lord Dunraven and Secretary Grant of tn Royal Yacht Squadron.
 The meeting was one of the largest ant most enthusiastic ever held by the New York Yacht Club. In spite of the storn over 200 yachtsmen were present, of whor | 32 were yacht owners, which gave then | the right to vote on the acceptance.o of tn | challenge.
 Ex-Commodore James D. Smith was tn first to announce the good news.

IT is now certain that when Senator Hale made that public statement about he and other republicans wishing to see the democrats control the senate his in- tention was to throw the democrats off their guard in order that deep laid re- publican scheme might be carried out to defeat the will of the people by pur- chasing votes enough in certain state legislatures to, retain ..control of the senate and enable the protected million aires to continue to pocket thelr exorbi- tant profits.

The Exposure of Rouvier Will Necessitate
 Reconstruction of the Cabinet.
 PARIS, Dec. 14.-M. Rouvier, Minister of Finance, who is now connected more or less directly with the Panama Canal rot tenness, went to the Elysee and presented his resignation to President Carnot.
 The President accepted Rouvier's resig nation and appointed M Tirard in his place. Great excitement prevails in the city.
 Placards of red paper headed "Dynamite and Panama! To the People of Paris!' are posted on the walls of St. Denis and torn down by the police. There is no telling what the day will bring forth as new dis closures are made daily in connection with the Panama Canal corruption.
 Another Ministerial crisis is now on. The exposure by Clemenceau of the con nection of M. Rouvier, Minister of Finance, with the Panama scandal, will render necessary reconstruction of the Cabinet.

SOMETHING WRONG.

With all the calmness with which a department chief could relate the merest detail of his work, Mir Raum tells us that during the twelve months ending June 30, last, 199, 1903, or almost 200, ,000, new pensioners were added to the already enormous list, making the number of pensioners on the roll at that date S6,063. He proceeds to say, with out the slightest symptom of a smitten conscience, that he has used up every dollar of the $144, ,956, 900 appropriated for the fiscal year and needs a trifle esti- mated at $1O ,5OO,OOO to get his accounts square. Then by way of consolation he adds that the lowest estimate of the appropriation required for next year is $165, ,000,000. He believes the pension high-water mark will be reached in 1894, when about $189, 9,OO0,0O0 will be needed to pay the bills. Judges as com potent as MT Raum, however, figure that the next congress will be called on I to appropriate a sum not far from $200,- 000, ,000.
 Liberality to the men who fought for the union and those who suffered thereby is one of the noblest and best of our national sentiments, and the man who would bring to it's exercise any thing of the spirit of petty meanness has no claim to be called a..patriot. But the placing upon the national roll of honor hundreds of thousands of buns, sulkers and loafers, placed there for political reasons or to satisfy the greed of the claim agent, is not only an insult to the old soldier, but one of the greatest Iconceivable national abuses.
 The extent to which this outrage has been permitted to develop is indicated by the figures above given. It appears the more graphically when it is stated that nearly every dollar collected by the tariff, and the Mckinley tariff at that is needed to meet the pension bills.
 Reference has often been made to the words of General Garfield in regard tc the pension system as it had developed in his day. They cannot be repeated too often, for they are the words no
 only of a president of the United States, but veteran of the Union army
 who was as true to the cause of tn,
 union and as loyal-hearted toward tn, ; men who fought for it as any othe
 American. Speaking in the house o { representatives in the year 1879, Genera t Garfield declared that the pension lis was then swollen beyond all account
 "I am the last man," he added, ito sa. a,word against voting pensions to al n persons who deserve them. But wisl
 to say to the house that more frauds ar
 being perpetrated on the government b.
 claim agents in different portions of tn
 country than from almost any othe single source."
 To-day the number of pensioners
 much more than five times greater tha
 it was when Garfield spoke.

 He closed his fast with an order for a can of condensed milk and six bananas. The order was at once filled and the faster partook lightly of the milk while he slowly munched two of the bananas.
