The Typical American.

The typical Americans have all been
west I'll men, with the exception, let us
say. of Washington. Washington had
not had much of European culture. The
qualities that made him great COM
mander and great president were
qualities which would have made him
an equally great frontiorsman. You
cannot imagine Hamilton or Madison
or Livingston or John Adams or the
Pinckneys living tolerably ON tho from
tier. They are not Americans in the
sense in which Clay and jackson and
Lincoln are Americans. We may wish
that the typical Americans of the past
had had more knowledge. "A more culti-
waited appreciation of the value of what
was old and established, a juster view
of foreign nations and foreign politics;
that they had been more like Webster
and less like jackson, and wa may hope
that the typical American of tho future
will be wiser and better poised. But III
the meantime the past is to be under
stood and estimate as the facts stand.
and only u thoroughly sympathetic com
prehension of these men. who have actu-
ally been the typical Americans, will
enable us TO effect that purpose. Tho
fact that Clay rather than Webster.
jackson and not John Quincy Adams,
repr, sented the fol ces which were really
predominant and distinctively Amer
lean in our development is commentary
enough ON any theory that makes either
of the peculiar sections of the Atlantic
seaboard the principal or only theater
OF American history Forum.

DR.. s. Weir Eitehcll appears to take
lutte too gloomy u view Of this subject
III /, paper in McGlure's Magazine. Ee
says that the American people are fast
becoming very short lived people, AMI
that II they were shut il of themselves
and had no influx of foreign vitality for
few years the effect on tine census
would be startling.
This may have been true of a genera
ton ago, but is it so now with our i'm
proved knowledge of how to live? As
purely American ancestry as any is GER
s-inly found in the Connecticut valley.
Iet there the proverb is that people
never die. but dry up and blow away.
They frequently live to be century
old. AS to mere increase of population,
that of itself is no sign either of pros
perity or of growth toward higher civ
ilization. Fewer people and better
quality of them would be u real indica-
tion of civilized progress. 1t is the very
lowest. most worthless forms of life that
propagate the fastest.
1t seems likely. taking larger view Of
the matter than that of the mere medical
man, that the American climate and
spirit are developing new race. Its
nerves will be finer, its skin will be finer,
and there may be perhaps less of heavy
bone and bulk than characterizes the
older European peoples, but we shall
not fall off any in height OF real strength.
Did not the American Corbett thrash the
British champion in three rounds, and
was not the worlds champion brute be-
fore Corbett also an American? Both
were of Irish descent, it is true, but they
belong to the new American race and in
herlt its spirit.
There is a profound meaning to this
hustle and hurry which DR.. Mitchell
thinks will exterIninate the Americans.
1t means that we are going to show the
world that work which heretofore re-
quired two days for the doing can be
done in one. Brain and spirit will como
in in the new American race and control
the lower, heavier forces of matter. DR..
Mitchell is indeed right when he insists
that young people shall not be hurried SO
girls in school and boys in business.
He declares that u girl should ifave the
best of food, air and exercise, but not be
crowded in her studies till the age of II.
After that she can bear hard study and
long hours of school. In like manner
the boy is put to business far too young
in America. He becomes little Oh
man in counting room when he should
be boy playing active outdoor games.
A reasonable system of outdoor physical
training for both boys and girls will cor
rect the evils the doctor complains Of.

Woman as an Athlete.

AT village in West Virginia youth
was engaged to u girl, but they quar-
relied. Then the mean spirited youth be-
gan to talk about her in way in which
no gentleman would ever permit himself
to speak of any woman. The young lady
heard of it. She consulted her girl
chums. There were four of them. They
went one night to the farm where the
gabbling youth lived and called him out
by throwing pebbles at his bedroom win
dow. He came. and no doubt was i'm
mensely fattered to find himself con-
fronted by five pretty girls. But he
changed his mood when. without word,
these five strong country maidens grab
bed him and tied him to the fence. There
they whipped him within an inch of his
life and bade him adieu. He will at
least not talk about nice girls for some
time to come.
In New Jersey the same day two
tramrs went into farmhouse and de-
lnanded money. The mistress of the
mansion was alone. Did she faint and
scream and then give to the two villains
all Eer own and her husbands savings?
No, she did not. She ordered the fellows
to leave. Then one drew u pistol and
threatened her. Before you could count
three the lady had snatched up an ax
handle and struck the man with the pis-
tol terrible blow on the head. 1t felled
him. Then the second tramp started to
run. but before he could get away that
dreadful TX handle struck him on the
back of the head and downed him too.
Then ut her leisure madam took the pis-
tol from one fellow and knife from the
other. Now, get outw she said, and
they got. How Charles Reade would
have enjoyed such confirmations of his
theory that really women were trenen-
dously strong creatures if they would
only use their strength

How tho Lady, lis Patient, Managed to

| This story comes from one Of onr hest
known physicians. For reasons that are

She is divorcce, the physician
said. "and is quite we'll known in suci-
ETY.. She is good looking, clever and
rich, but for long timo was addicted
to the uso of opium. Tho habit grew
- strong that her relatives advised her
- go to some sanitarium for treatment.
Tor long time she refused to do this,

Ct mined in some asylum she yielded

''She brought nurse with hcr-a

paid $50 week to wait ON her. Wo
were all greatly surprised as tho days
went by to note that she did not seem
to lie mt all depressed. as mot people

day. said to her once:
You don't seem to miss your
opium.
NO she said, with smile. 1t
did not have such hold ON me as
thought it did,
''One day, after sho had heen there
over month. we discovered by mere
accident what kept her SO cheerful One
, of our attendants caught her in tho act
of taking opium. When we asked her
where she had obtained the drug. she
refused at first to tell. After little
urging, however, she told us that she
had brought lot of opium with Ler.
THE matron searched her room, and
when she came to the Office TO report
she was almost speechless with amaze
ment. The woman had hidden little
packages of opium in every conceivable
part of all her dresses. There WIS
opium in the sleeves. in the ruffies, in
the lace, in the lining and in every
pocket. There was opium sewed inside
her garters and in her undergarments.
She even had opium in the papers which
she used to curl her hair.
1t was her maid 8 duty, we learned.
to administer this opium to her in such
way that we would not detect it.
The young girl always curled her mis-.
tress' hair and took care not to spill
any of the drug in the curl papers.
The maid was promptly sent home.
Her mistress was relieved of all her
clothing and was supplied with new
dresses and placed in another room.
For several weeks SHE underwent the
depressing experience of all who break
off the habit. All her brig htness and
good nature vanished for time. She is
now cured. however, and is married
again. New York Sun.

WAsHl%GToN, Nov. l2.-Up to noon
to-day Japan had not accepted the otfer
OF the United States to act as mediator
in the war between China aud Japan.
Longthy cabcSrams are passing, how
ever, between the japanese capital aud
Washington. A cable from the Japan
csc authorities was received this morn
ing asking for more explicit details.
China has already formally notified
Secretary Gresham that she will join
Japan in acknowledging the independ.
enco OF Korea, and she will also pay
cash indemnity. The amount she will
pay is not specified.
It is felt in official circles here that
the gravity OF the action taken by tho
United States snot fully realized by tho
ICY to which tho Hawaiian incident Is
sNid TO be tri!IinG in comparison. Should
Japan aud China accept the United
States as mediator it will close the
greatest war since the Franco Prussian
conflict, and this country will for the
first time occupy commanding posi-
ton in deciding Asiatic questions which
have heretofore had the attention Of
European powers only.
At present the European powers arc
endcavoring to reach M agreement
among themselves by which they will
forclbly intervene. Five days ago
France presented proposition TO Sec
retary Gresham to join in foreign inter-
vention. This was rejected as the pro.
position OF Great Britain had beon.
While the European powers are thus
arrangingt details Of theintervention,
the United States comes forward indie.
pendently Of other foreign powers and
offers to act rs mediator il China and
Japan request this service.
The French ambassador, NJ. Pateno-
trc, was an carly caller on Secretary
Gresham His visit had reference to
tho settlement Of tho war, but so far as
is known. his government has not yet
clearly defined its position.
It is assumed by some diplomatists
here that France is really urging the
United Statos to effect n speedy restora-
tion of peace, sinGo.handed, since We
will not join with the other powers In
intervening, and the latter seem to be
upablo to effect their purpose without
our aid. But in other quarters there Ia
II belief that tho European powers do
not at NIL relish the action taken by the
United State, in volunteering to medi-<
ate and thus bring the war TO termi-
nation without allowing them to Join in
the guarantee of KoreN's independence
and to achieve certain other designs
which they had cherished, such as SO.
curing a considerable addition to
the number of treaty ports and perhaps
some territorial extension under the
guisc OF protectorate. They feel that
their interests are so much more ex.
tensive than our own that they are en-
titled to voice in the settlement and
the apprehension that some OF these
powers may suddenly mako bold and
decided move, il likely to cause Japan
to speedily accept our offer OF media
ton il she really cares to end tho war
ut this stage aud place her interests in
the hands Of nation which she kuows
to be disintorested.

LONDON, Nov. ia Moscow dispatch

beloved czar. At o'clock Monday
morning the court officials, mobiles, oth-
GERS and notables assembled in the
palace within the Kremlin to hear an
address by the czar.
With his mother leaning on his arm,
his majesty addressed the brilliant as
semblage, expressing in a firm voice

The great bell OF Moscow tolled and

BODY was removed from the cathedral.
The progress OF the cortege through
the enormous crowds was deeply i'm
pressive. Dead stiIlnes prevailed except
when the populace caught sight OF the
young car, when tho crowd broke
out into cheers. The procession
arrived at the railway station at
quarter OF twelve. Here generals
brought the coffin TO q dRis that had
been erected in the center OF tho station.
The metropolitan Of Moscow, Grand
Duke Sergius and the clergy bearing
tapers colored green, the ecclesiastical
mourning color, performed Il ser
vice in the station. At the czarina's

ing, but were attired in their usual tes-
tival robes OF silver brocade. The
coffin was thcn borne to tho train,
which was draped with black, decorated
with eagles. A large cross was on the

Administered to Bandit to Guard
Against Exposure.
SALINA, KANSAS, Nov. l2.-Three
masked robbers attempted to hold up
the bank at Sylvan Grove, Kansas,
forty miles west OF hore, at noon to-day,
and one OF their number met death in
an unusually tragic manner.
He was shot by tho cashier OF the
bank, John Calene. and when in a
dying condition was perforated with
bullets by his own comrades to save
themselves from exposure. Tho men
rode into town on fast horses. They
were finely mounted and heavily armed.
They pulled their horses up with IL
Jerk in front OF tho bank, and whio
one robber remained seated, holding
the brides OF tho other two horses, and
guarding the entrance to the bank. his
two companions entered. The cashier
was ordered to turn over what money
he had, aud to do it quickly. 1t was
but few minutes from the time tho
bandits turned their horses into the
business street before they were again
mounted and away with all the ready
cash the bank had.
The cashier secured his gun, and,
rushing TO the door, opened fire on
them as they were galloping away. The
bullet lodged in tho back Of one OF tho
men. Nerving himself, he kept his
seat and gNIlopod on. Before ho
had gono n quarter OF milo
his body swayed to and fro. and finally
he fell heavily to tho ground. His two
comrades pulled their horses up, and
riding to the PROSTATE man deliberately
firod several shots into his body and
dashed away. When picked up the
desperate outlaw was dead.
