INDUSTRIOUS MADNESS.

JURIEU, the Biblical student, became
crazy from studying the apocalypse.
He fancied that the ten-horned beast
was inside Of him.
LAMARTINE was of an exceedingly
gloomy temperament and during his
spells of detection nothing could in the
least raise his spirits.
CowPER's madness is well known.
Once he tried to hang himself and at
another time endeavored to commit
suicide by drowning himself.
BOTH Charles and Mary Lamb were
dwellers in the borderland of mad
ness. The latter was frequently placed
in an asylum, the former but once.
MAsANIELLo became crazed by the
success of the revolution of 1647 in
Naples. He gave many symptoms of
insanity before he was assassinated.
DEscARTEs was the victim of audi
tory Authorizations. They always came
when he was greatly fatigued, and he
regarded them as sign to cease work.
ALFIERI was a prey to melancholy all
his days. On one occasion, after hav-
ing been bled by surgeon, he tore off
the bandage in order to bleed to death.
ALEXANDER CRUDEN, the compiler of
the Bible Concordance, was regarded
by all his acquaintance as a harmless
though somewhat troublesome lunatic-

Military Evolutions Of Skunks.

An Auburn On. " man riding in the
country saw crossing the road mann
ma skunk with five youngsters trailing
behind her in single file. Ranks were
closed and tails dragged. The little
company moved toward an unoccupied
building, and the old skunk disap-
peared through hole in the founda-
ton wall. But just as the young ones
were about to follow he flung stone,
which banged loudly against the cor
ner of the building. The narrator

THEIR LIVES IN DANGER.

The Citizens of MuskOgee, I. T., Believed
to be in Danger from the Cook Out
laws.
MUsCoGEE, Nov. 3O.-Again the citi-
Zens of Muscogee have reason to be-
lieve that their lives and property are
in peril. This afternoon about 5
o'clock Jim French and four other
members of the Bill Cook gang of out
laws were seen six miles south of Mus
cogee on Cody's creek. They rode to
their present quarters after the rob-
berry in Checotah, Wednesday night,
and have occupied them ever since.
About 5 o'clock this afternoon two
colored men who harbor the bandits
rode into Muscogee and purchased a
saddle and a supply of ammunition,
and were mounting to return to the
gang when deputy marshal arrested
one of them and attempted to arrest
the other, but was too slow.
When searched by the jailer money
was found on the suspects person that
Lafayette identified as being some of
the money stolen from his store on
Wednesday night.
The colored men were evidently
sent to Muscogee to survey the ground
and get on to the officers movements.
The news of the arrest and the 1oca-
ton of the bandits created no little ex-
element in town.

A BAD HABIT.
Screens That Conceal Too Much Thai
Ought to BE Thrown Away.

Screens That Conceal Too Much That
Ought to he Thrown Away.
Perfect housekeeping is glittering
product of the imagination. If it ever
did exist it has long since been hidden
behind screens. The time-worn ques-
ton: ''What is home without a moth
er-in-law?" must give place to 'What
is home without a screen? writer
in a recent exchange article solemnly
propounds this question, and as SOL
emily answers, ''NothiEg!" She then
launches forth on a eulogy of this use
full and virtuous article, and advises all
housekeepers to have at least one in
every room, set crosswise across a cor
ner or an alcove to hide mispresentable
things. This, the writer asserts, es-
pecially for the noble army of martyrs
who are trying to keep house in one
room, is a convenience that amounts to
a necessity.
To give advice at all is bad enough;
to give bad advice is adding insult to
injury. And this advice was bad with
out having even the virtue of novelty.
What dweller in rooms does not know
those screens and curtains and cup
boards with their heaps of boots and
dust-pans and mending and 1iniment
bottles and, as the apostle says: MANY
other things whereof / have not time
to speak?" It is useless for the much
advised one to bride and say: 81 hope
am equal to keeping good order" If
she has any such hope better dismiss it
at once as vain. She may start out
bravely with shelves in her cupboard
or partitions behind her curtains, or

If she be an unusually orderly soul
she may even maintain this state of
affairs for a month, but a month is the
outside limit. Then she is busy or
pressed for space, or a sudden visitor
arrives on the scene, and she hurriedly
huddles lot of things behind the
screen, there to remain and accumulate

And Admits that Minister Costing Ex-

And Admits that Minister Costing Ex-
ceeded His Authority.
LONDON, Nov. 3O.-It is semiofficially
stated that Great Britain's note to Nj
caragua, which has given rise to the
fear of breach in the friendly rela-
tions with the United States. only in
timated that Great Britain could not
recognize the validity of certain de-
crees recently issued by the Nicara-
guam government. This has already
been explained to the government of
the United States.
Inquiries made at the admiralty to-
day elected the statement that the de-
partment had no information as to any
British war ships having gone to Blue
fields. No orders, it was said, had
been issued for any war vessels of the
British navy to go there. 1t was adj
mitted, however, that the commander
of the Mohawk might have gone to
Bluefields of his own volition.
Later it was reported that the Blue
fields incident had been settled, Great
Britain having, upon the representa-
tions of the United States, admitted
that Mr.. Costing, the British minister,
exceeded his authority in declining to
recognize Nicaraguan supremacy in
the Mosquito territory. The affair
may lead to his recall.

DANGEROUS DERELiCTS.
Report of the British Admiralty and Board
of Trade Committee on Their Destruc-
ffOD.

Report of the British Admiralty and Board
of Trade Committee on Their Destruc-
tfon.
LONDON, Nov. 3O.-The admiralty
and board of trade committee, which
for some time past has been consider
ing the subject of the destruction of de-
relict vessels, has made its report.
The committee does not advise the OPP
tion by the government of any scheme
for the destruction of abandoned YES
sells or the holding of an international
conference on the subject. 1t does,
however, recommend the better report
ing of derelicts as to their character,
location, etc, and the periodical pub
lication of such reports.
The report further says that the
danger of disasters resulting from
collisions with derelicts is probably
greatly exaggerated, as the number
afioat at one time in the entire north
Atlantic has not exceeded nineteen.
The publication of the information in
regard to derelict vessels in the charts
issued by the United States would, the
committee states, be impracticable.
and its use would be likely to mislead
mariners and needlessly alarm them.

F.; WEDDING CAKE.
A Costly Item, But as Necessary to Style
Ever.

Costly Item, But as Necessary TO style
as Ever.
The most costly single item in the
well-conducted wedding of to-day is
the cake. without the proper amount OF
which no self-respecting woman would
dare to call herself bride. 1t is made
as of yore, by the good old-fashioned
black cake receipe-very heavy, rich
and dark, but no bride of up-to-date-
ness has large and formidable iced
confection Of this kind at her wedding.
The stately center piece has been
broken up into small boxes of watered
white paper or silk, tied with ribbons
and stamped with her monogram.
These are placed so conveniently at
the wedding that every guest may Sc
cure one as souvenir, and those at a
distance expect boxes of cake by mail
as the conventional adjunct to the in
vitation. ALI this costs the brides
family full one hundred dollars and
more, when they arrange it for her at
anything like good style. The most
improved cake boxes are about three
and half inches square, with an at
tached lifting lid. They are either COW
cred with polished cream-white paper
or white satin. The paper-boxes, when
filled with cake that is first wound in
waxed-paper and then tin-foil, tied
with ribbon and stamped on the lid
with the initial letters of the bride and
groom in gold, cost sixty-fve dollars a
hundred. The white-satin boxes ought
not only to bear the monogram in gold
or silver, but on the lid must be tied a
bit of orange blossom, and the confec-
toner charges just one dollar and TWEEN
ty-fve cents for each of these daintily
prepared packages of cake. There are
brides and their families who not only
satisfy the conventional demands of
their friends by distributing at the
wedding reception and through the
mail. to absent ones, the costly trifles,
but have as well at home cake for
cutting. The vast structures of elab-
crate icing on a broad expanse of the
delectable indigestible sweetmeats are
considered out of taste, and now the
bride, when she orders, mentions a ten
pound cake. This is not large, and is
iced simply with wreath of small
orange blossom sprays about the in
twined initials in silver of the contract.

ST. Louis, Nov. 29.-Free silver was

The Reported Disavowal of Mr.. Gossling's

The Reported Disavowal of Mr.. Gossling's
Action at Bluefields Absolutely False.
LONDON, Dec. IA report was pub
lished in America Thursday by an ir-
responsible news agency whose addic-
ton to reckless statements is notori-
ous, that the British government had
admitted that Mr.. Gossling, the Brit
ish minister to Venezuela and the Cen
trail American States, had exceeded his
authority in his action in the Blue
fields incident, and would possibly be
recalled in consequence.
The United Press is officially author
lied to say that the reported disavowal
of Mr.. Gossling's action by the govern
ment of Great Britain is absolutely
false.
