UNITED STATES,

Thus far this season the catch of
seals in japanese waters is as fol-
lows: By the American fleet of
eighteen vessels, l9, ,460, and by the
British feet of nineteen vessels, "a
010. The catch is considered a large
one
An accident occurred at County
Line trestle, just east of Milton, Va.
Aug. 16, by which two passenger
coaches and a sleeper were precipi-
tated into the creek below, dis
tance of sixty feet, killing seven per-
sons outright and wounding a num-
ber of others.
The schooner Betty M. Listy, from
Charleston, S. c., is detained at
quarantine in Philadelphia. There
is one well-developed case of yellow
fever and two suspicious cases on
board. The schooner sailed from
Charleston week ago.
Orders were telegraphed Aug. 18
to Captain Barker, commanding the
cruiser Philadelphia, at Callao, Peru
to proceed at once to Honolulu to
relieve the cruiser Boston, which is
ordered to San Francisco for repairs.
For some time the Navy Department
has known the Boston was in bad
condition, and the delay in ordering
her home indicates that the condi-
ton of affairs in Hawaii was consid-
cred so uncertain that the Govern
ment deemed it wise to protect
American interests there by the
presence of two vessels.
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Shultz. an
aged couple living alone on a farm
in Tilden Township, Cherokee
County, Iowa, were foully murdered
Aug. 16. They had concealed about
the house nearly $1,000, and of this
sum the murderers secured $3.50,
which was concealed in a pocket
book. Five hundred and fifty dol
lars in Bible and some 5000 in a
baking powder can were found by
the criminals. The crime was not
discovered until late next day and
no clew was obtained as to the per-
petrators, though they must be par
ties well acquainted with the house
and the couple.

WELL FITTING SHOES.


|
Tight Footgear.
A low shoe to be comfortable at
the heel, must be SO shaped as to
form a sort of pad along the heel
cord, for, from its style, it must de-
pend upon the closeness of the fit at
the heel for its staying on" quail
ties. In order that it may not slip
at the heel, the low shoe is usually
drawn in at that point, having a
greater curve forward than does the
average heel and ankle In such
cases the shoe pinches the heel cords
and is anything but a thing of pleas
ure. On the other hand, if the shoe
does not tit snugly at this point, it
slips with every step and soon causes
a sore or callosity. Therefore, in
order to be comfortable the quarters
of the low cut shoe should curve
gracefully upward forming pad or
cushion against the heel cord.
The tight shoe is not the only one
that affects the health of the foot,
although nearly all the infrmities to
which the human foot is heir are
credited to it,
The loose shoe is the more fruitful
of corns and in this special field the
tight shoe cannot enter into competi-
tion with it. Let the foot wabble
about in a loose fitting shoe for three
months and it will gather together a
choice collection of corns that will
last an ordinary mortal u lifetime.
This is true because of the peculiar
formation of the skin, which is com
posed of two layers of membrane,
The outer portion, the epidermis or
scarf skin, serves as a protection to
the dermis or true skin. The dermis
consists of network of fibrous
material over which is another net
work Of capillary blood vessels and
nerves wherein lies the sense of
touch, and is protected from expos
ure to the air and contact with rough
material by the epidermis. By ex-
amining the palms of the hands and
tips of the fingers it will be seen
that they are covered with a net
work of curious little ridges. These
ridges are formed by the termina-
tion of minute, upright loops, which,
in turn, are formed by blood ves-
sci and nerve cord, the two lying
side by side. These loops are the
seat of the sense of touch and are
more or less sensitive, according as
the covering-the epidermis-is thick
or thin. Whenever these loops or
nerves are exposed to pressure or
friction more severe than ordinarily
provided for them nature comes to
their relief by secreting a larger
amount. of cuticular matter This
thickens the epidermis and is the
secret of the formation of corns.

Ready money or an equivalent
that will be current with all who
may be called upon to handle it is
absolutely necessary to move the
crop now being harvested in the
Northwest. Ready money in suffi-
cient quantities is unobtainable, and
as substitute must be forthcoming
the bankers of ST. Paul are now
formulating plan by which it may
be provided. The plan proposed is
an effective but not an original one,
being, in short, the device of the
New York clearinghouse. This
means that the banks of St. Paul
and Minneapolis should issue clear
ing-house certificates in denomina-
tions of s., $40, 500 and $50 which
could be loaned to buyers to be used
in payment for wheat to farmers
and of freights and charges to the
railways, and thus carry the wheat
to market, when the proceeds will
be returned to the banks, thus put
ting them in funds with which to re-
deem the local currency.
This plan meets with the most
favor, but the matter is still un-
settled. The carrying out of any
plan will receive the cooperation OF
the banks, and from interviews had
with jobbers and railroad men it is
quite certain that they will agree in
any action taken by the banks.

A MILKING EXPERIMENT.
knowledge and skill made a Difference of
s8s Pounds In One Week.

hhowieuge anu skill made n Difference Of
s0' Pounds In One Week.
Five cows were MIXED four weeks
by two different persons, each mixer
serving two weeks, both being COM
petent, one of them doing his aver
age milking and not aware that an
experiment was under way; the
other was fully informed as to the
nature of the experiment and ex.
pected to contribute his best skill
for the purpose in view. In the case
of the one unaware of the expert
ment the yield of milk from the five
COWS for two weeks was S64 pounds;
the yield of milk from the same cows
for corresponding period while in
charge of the man aware of the ex-
pertinent reached l,l31 pounds, the
excess of 267 pounds in favor of the
man who MIXED to dryness. The
experiment proved that it pays to
get all the cow has to deliver. Also
that 1t is a matter of Importance
that the udder be emptied as rapidly
as possible in manner acceptable
to the cow-this because of the ef-
feet on the richness of the milk in fat
globules. Another important feat
ure in milking to dryness is that the
first milk drawn is most aqueous,
while the last contains most butter
fat. While not strictly a result of
this experiment, it demonstrates
anew the teachings of the experience
that proves that incompletely MIXED
COWS have tendency to diminish
their yield.-British Dairy Farmer.

Work neatly done is not of neces-
sity work slowly done. l have
watched two men piling up wood.
One would build the. pile so neatly
that it would be thing of beauty
when done, and the pile put up by
the other would be simply hideous,
although it took quite. as long to
build it. The first man built his pile
with mind and muscle, and the
second man with muscle only, and
this it is which usually makes the
difference between a well kept and
an i'll kept farm.

RYAN IS WRATHY.
The Waukesha Attorney May Sue Mr..
Hadfield for SANDER.

Waukesha, Wis, May 4.-One of the
results of the election contest this week
bids fair to be a SANDER suit with heavy
damages involved by T. E. Ryan against
PreSident-Elect Hatfield.
Some days ago a friend of Mr.. Ryan
notified him that he had heard Mr..
Hadfield make the statement that he
was informed on good authority that
Mr.. Ryan had some time since offered
to sell out to the pipe line company"
Mr.. Ryan has been employed for more
than year as an attorney in opposition
to the company, and the charge that
he had offered to prove traitor is one
of such seriousness that he felt COM
PEELED to take some notice of it. He
did so, and Tuesday, during the election
Mr.. Ryan, during a wordy alteration
between the two, charged Hadfeld with
having made the statement, and pressed
ence Of several witnesses Mr.. Hadfield
is said to have admitted making the
statement. He also gave the names of
Petty Grace and Judge P. III. Carney as
the ones who he had heard say it.
At the time Mr.. Ryan called the atten-
ton of those about him to the CONVEX
sation and notified them that he would
expect them to act as witnesses in court.
He says he will begin a suit at once.
Hadfield is worth from $4,000 to $751;
900 and is abundantly able to pay
judgment if one can be secured against
him.

in point of attendance and swift pro
greSs towards the completion of the
worlds biggest show.
The absence of any considerable rain
since the opening and the indications
OF clear weather today, brought large
crowds of strangers from their tenn
porary homes to the White city for a
day OF sightseeing. The partial open
ing of the fine arts building had the
effect of attracting many people to the
grounds, for the average man and
woman, no matter how poor Judge
Of art, dearly loves to see a picture.
The air was cold and the wind mod
erately strong, but the visitors did not
complain SO long as the clouds over
head did not leak. Everybody was well
provided against the Lake Michigan
breeze, wearing heavy wraps, over
coats and carrying shawls or rugs to
sit on when they got tired

nected with the big buildings will be

The flower beds, which were filed
with choice plants of all descriptions,
are beginning to show the effect of
careful nursing and are taking on a
coat Of variegated color which adds
much to the appearance of the grounds.
Around horticultural hall. especially, is
this noticeable. Long plats of flower

ing the beds and squirting the flowers
on to bloom
A large force of Uncle John
Thorpe's men is engaged in the wooded
island planting hundreds of flowers of
endless variety in the big beds which
were laid out last year. These plants
which are almost ready to bloom have
been carefully nurtured in the green
houses of the park during the long win
ter, and the gardeners carefully unpack
them from the nests in boxes and un-
wrap the packing around them as if
they were so many pieces of precious
brio a-brac.
The big trees which have heretofore
afforded shelter and shade to the peO
pie of Chicago, who spent many sum
mer hours of leisure in Jackson park
are shooting forth their green buds and
with a little warm sunshine they will
spread their broad green leaves over
the island and other parts of the park,
forming a rich and restful contrast to
the bright flowers in bloom and the
big white buildings.

Gen. ParSourd's Daughter Deserts Her
Elegant Home for Stonecutter.
STONE CREEK, Conn, May SIX
Confederate Gen. Fairgrounds daughter
suddenly disappeared from her home
here yesterday. She is young and
beautiful, and almost the sole heiress
to her fathers wealth, estimated at
800, 200. 1t seems that she formed the
acquaintance of young George Neu-
MOL, who lately came here to learn the
stonecutter's trade. His home is in
Brooklyn. Within short time they
seem to have fallen in love with each
other.
The girl, realizing that her foster
parents (she having been adopted by
them when she was about five years
old would oppose the stonecutter's
suit, readily listened to his proposition
to eiepe. The romantic pair vanished
while the General was away on bust
ness in New Britain. Neumoil left
note addressed ITO Whom 1t May Con-
Germ" saying that he had gone away
to get married and ibid not intend to
return. Miss Pargourd did not deign
to explain the cause of her flight.
Miss Paragourd is but eighteen years
old and Neumoil about twenty-three.
He is described as most unprepossess-
ing, uncouth, awkward IN his move
ments and ignorant. She is highly
educated, refined, and has been &C
clstomed to live in luxury. Her every
wish was anticipated by her indulgent
father. He is inexpressibly shocked
by the unexpected escapade.

CARLYLE HARRIS CALM
Precautions Taken to Prevent the Snug

from his mother this morning saying
she would arrive tomorrow to bid her
boy farewell Harris seems calm,
and said to-day he expected to
be elsctrocuted next Monday. The
preparations being made to-day by the
warden point to Monday as the day
upon which Harris will pay the pen
atty for his crime. Harris sat up late
last night, but his guards say he seems
to accept his fate in the spirit of
philosopher. He appeared to be more
at his ease than at any time since the
taking of testimony in his behalf be-
gun. He arose early this morning and
ate a hearty breakfast. All dispatches
and letters for him were first subjected
to test by the prison physician to
guard against poison being struggled
in any form to the prisoner. Mrs. Har-
ris will be thoroughly searched before
being allowed to see hel- SON. Harris
sneers at these precautions and saws
he would not kill himself if he had an
opportunity.

ROMANCE OF AN AUTHORIZES.
Helen Ainsl.e Smith Was Married to

Helen Ainsl.e Smith Was Married to
the Late James H. Elliott in 1 $50.
NEW YORK, May 5.-An old story
came to light to-day by the pu'blica-
ton in the same column of the mar
riage and death notices of James Fl.
Elliott. He was lawyer. nearly fifty
years old. of literary turn of mind
and decidedly romantic. After gradu-
ating from Harvard in 1864 he cameto
New York to study law and perman-
emily remain here. In his pursuit of
the study of arts and letters he met
Miss Helen Ainslie Smith, the we'll
known authoreSs of chlldren's stories.
A courtship followed and on Aug. IA,
1899, they were secretly married. Mrs.
Elliott was devoted to her life's work.
and her husband, having lived so long
alone, was perfectly willing to have
the world none the wiser that he had
turned ben diet. Thus they lived on
quietly, Mrs. Elicit writing over her
maiden name and Mr.. Elliott hard at
work at his own books. The couple
had been living at AS Eighth Ave
nue. for some time and only Mrs. ElH-
otis family and few intimate friends
knew of the marriage. But sorr ow
came at last, and on Friday Mr.. Ellli-
otts was taken dangerously i'll with
pneumonia. The disease took firm
hold on him and he died early yestar-
day morning. His widow and her
friends then thought it we'll that the
world should know that romance and
marriage had preceded death. Hence
the two notices so close together in
to-day's papers.
