DEVOTION OF A HUSBAND.
Untimely End of DR.. Dokitsch, President
of King AIexander's Ministry

Untimely End of Or. DokitSch. President
of King AIexander's Ministry.
Deep and widespread is the regret in
Servia at the untimely death of DR.. Do
kitsch, the young president of the min
iStry under King Alexander after his
recent assumption of full power. 1t was
a heroic death, however, for DR.. Do
kitsch, whom many of his countryman
considered the most promising man Of
his time, met his end through his devo-
ton to his wife The romance of his
life had already endeared him to his
people.
When student few years ago in
Belgrade, Dokitsch, one of the most bril-
liant men at the university, saw a girl
pass the house in which he lived. She
was poorly clad, and her appearance
proved that she had come from a power
ty stricken home. But the beauty of
her face and her kind eyes impressed the
young man. He learned her name later
and found that she was a seamstress,
the main support of her family. De-
spite their difference in rank, he fell
deeply In love with the girl and asked
her TO be his wife. Soon after his grad
nation he became professor of law at the
university and prominent in politics.
and then led her TO the altar.
But the young wife was already af-
hicted with consumption, and the disease
soon made rapid progress. Naturally of
a melancholy disposition, she became
despondent. Then came the hope in
spring message from Berlin that Profess
or Robert Koch had discovered a cure for
tuberculosis. DR.. Dokitsch endeavored
TO induce his wife 70 go to the German
capital, but the young woman was con-
vinced that her case was hopeless and
declined to carry out his wishes. He
tried To raise her spirits and prove that

EX-Empress Eugene.

The ex-Empress Eugene has settled
down into the solitude which best ena-

cumulative sorrows. Her tall, sad fig

the recognition of silent sympathy. The
empress likes to have communication
with as few people as possible. For

Stately Elms to Fall.

A stately row of elms at Cambridge,
which for many decades have formed a
picturesque border to the Harvard college
grounds, are to be cut down. Twenty
two in number, only two or three show
any sign of decay. These trees are to fall
before the widening of Harvard street,
which is much too narrow for the street
cars and trucks which in great number
traverse it at all hours of the day. The
city council has appropriated $1,000 for
the improvement, and Harvard college
gives a strip of land 10 feet wide on con
dition that the college shall not be called
on to pay anything for betterments.-

IBsolubIe AZo COlOrs.

The use of the insoluble azo colors,
which are produced when an anime
is diazotized and combined with naph-
thol, is said to have been patented in
France for producing designs on textile
fbers by printing, the method adopted
being the same as is now used in print
ing with the mineral colors. AS an
example the production of red is in
stanced, this being obtained by printing
on color made with 400 grams water,
100 grams of the color lake made from
para-nitraniline and betanaphthOl, so
grams gum water, 40 grams albumen
liquor, one in one, and 20 grams neu-
tral chrOmate of soda. On the printing
process being accomplished the goods
are dried and steamed and then passed
into bath containing 80 grams Oxalic
acid and 80 grams sulphuric acid in
each liter, the tissues being afterward

Giving Wine AWAY.

There is such tremendous quantity
of wine in Spain this year that they alb
solutely dc not know what to do with it..
Good red wines are being sold for 3
farthings a quart, and even at that price
there are not enough purchasers to take
it all, and in many places the winegrow-
ers are simply throwing it away, because
they have no room to keep it and cannot
sell it. Near Liria. in Valencia, a vine
yard proprietor put out on the highroad
little cart, with barrel of wine on the
top of it, bearing the inscription, WAN

Taxing RPardS

If The Secolo of Milan is to be be-
lieved, Signor Gilolitti proposes to set
the finances of italy straight by impos-
ing a tax upon boards. Should he re-
sort to this method of obtaining the
wherewithal to pay his way, he cannot
claim that his plan is novel, for Peter
the Great. aware of the value which
the Russians attached to their hirsute
appendages, levied a similar to-, tax

with the length of beard he cultivated,
but in proportion to the social status of
the wearer.

speeches are delivered in Irish by men
who have spoken Irish from the cradle,
and Irish is taught viva voce, and it is
intended to have a series of addresses
delivered in Irish in the Irish speaking

THE PASSING or THE JUSTICES.
Their Trip From Their EObing Apart
ment to the Courtroom.

Their Trip From Their EObing Apart
ment to the Courtroom.
Another innovation has made its ap-
pearance at the capitol. 1t is worth
while to make a trip to the building
just before - o'clock every day to wit
ness it.
The room in which the supreme court
justices adOrn themselves with their
flowing silk robes is acloss the hall
from the chamber in which the court
meets. Hitherto few moments before
noon the door of the attiring room
would open, and forthwith would
emerge the solemn justices. On one
side of the corridor-which, by the
way, is the main passageway through
the capitol-wOuld stand a court Off
rial and another man would be STA
toned on the opposite side. Between
this guard the justices would walk and
moment later would disappear behind
the heavy door of the entrance to the
private corridor TO the bench. But this
simple and modest method has been
relegated to the past. 1t is different
now.
When the justices are now ready to
leave their attiring apartment, four
court messengers appear. They bear
two pieces of plush covered rope. A
man stands IN each side of the two
doors and across the corridor they

MlSSOURrS LONG DROUGHT.
Pike and Rails Counties Have Been
Parched For Over Six Months.

Parched For Over Six Months.
There has now been a drought in this
part Of the state since the middle of last
June, and consequently the present
drought is the greatest that We have ex-
perienced for many years. 1t is true
that we have had many showers since
last June. bat none Of them afforded
any stock water to amount to anything.
and consequently nearly all the cisterns
and ponds are dry. Most Of the springs
have ceased to flow. and all the creeks
and branches have nearly run dry.
Salt river is lower than was ever before
known. and Spencer creek, which runs
through Rails and portion Of Pike
county, is nearly dry.
Some of the farmers Of Rails county
are driving their stock nearly 10 miles
to water. and this has been the case for
the past three months. The water be-
ing so low in the ponds and branches,
it has frozen nearly solid, so that in
many localities there is virtually wa
ter famine. 1t is hardly probable that
there will be any rain this winter TO
amount to anything, and the farmers
are becoming despondent. Nearly ev-
cry cistern in Hannibal is dry, but as
this city has an excellent system of wa
terwOrks our citizens are not having
much trouble. But what the farmers
Will do to supply their stock with wa
ter during the present winter is beyond
comprehension. 1t seems that their only
alternative is to sink wells, for in this
way they can get a supply of water in
any part Of the country, although in
some cases it may be rather expensive.

but Not Dividends.

put Not DIVIDENDS.
The wild speed of the BROOKLYN trolley
traction system is beginning to pinch
where it hurts-in the pockets of capi-
talists. 1t is cutting down the profits
and even draining the surplus of the
Brooklyn Elevated Railway company.
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of that elevated railway compa-
ny its president, Mr.. Adolph Ladenburg.
told a heartrending tale as to the ruth
lessness of the aggressiOns of the trolley
upon the innocent and long suffering
capitalist. The elevated road, with three
more miles in operation, has carried
1850, 900 fewer passengers in 1898 than in
1892. Its surplus has diminished from
S195, ,295 to S11S, $50.
Why" exclaims President Laden
burg, "should a carriage coming faster
than six miles an hour be stopped and a
street car be allowed to run at 10 miles
hn hour legally and 15 miles per hour ac-
tually?"
Why, to be sure?
This is a question which the public
may now reiterate.
The Brooklyn public has too patiently
seen its first citizens, its firstborn babes,
its gentle old ladies and its children with
dolls or other toys in their grasp felled
and crushed out of life by the reckless
speed of the surface trolley cars. Now
that it finds this speed a menace to the
solvency of corporations and to the divi-
dends of capitalists, it possibly may be
aroused to some effective action.-New

SHOT AT THE ARCHDUKB.

Uncle OF Austyia's Emperor the Target for
an Unknown Admirer of kossuth.
The Archduke Joseph Of Austria, uncle OF
the Emperor Francis Joseph, experienced one
OF the embarrassments of royalty when some
enthusiastic political reformer took shot at
him the other day.
The archduke was in an express train trav-
cling from Buda-Pesth to Gratz. The bullet
entered the compartment next to that occu-
pied by the archduke, but-fortunatelyf for the
archduke. and perhaps quite as well for the
cause of reform-the bullet went wide of its
royal mark and what is most remarkable no
innocent bystanders were hit. The attempt is
believed by some authorities in Pesth to be
connected with the attacks which several
Hungarian papers have been making on the
archduke for his attitude on the Kossuth
question.
OWN to the fact that the archduks has
always resided with his family in Buda-
Pestb, and being commander-in- chief of the
honvod. or army Of reserve, he is known as
the Hungarian" He is an uncle Of the
emperor, and was born in 1888. He is mar
ried to the Princess Clothilde of Sake Coburg
daughter OF the late Prince Augustus and
Princess Clementine. and who is, therefore, a
sister of the Prince of Bulgaria and the
Duchess Max Emanuel in Bavaria-a cousin
OF the queen-whose death at the early age of
forty-six, after three days Illness took place
a short time ago. There are two princes and
four princesses of the marriage, Of whom the
Archduchess Marie is married TO the million
aire Prince of Thurn and Taxis. while the
Archduchess Marie last year married Prince
Frederick Augustus of Saxony, heir to the
throne. The archduke's sister is the Queen
Of the Belgians.

eating without digesting. Others read merely
as a fad and soon forget all they may have

The most satisfactory method OF study il
the digestive. It is the thorough one; the
one that gives strength to the brain. Take
the subject you are studying. Read few
lines or few pages, as the case may be,
then put the book down and think on what
you have read. Turn it about in your
mind from every standpoint. Do no accept
1t Immediately. Argue for and against it in
your mind. In other words. masticate 1t.
You need not be at your leisure to do this.
Do it in your walks, in your idle moments, Ut
any time. When you have satisfied yourself
on the subject go on with little more il the
same way. In short time you will find
yourself more thorough student than If you
had read all at sitting. The best educated
