The Life of n Shoe.

According to an intelligent and OBJ
servant member of the trade, the aver
age purchaser of footwear counts the
life of shoe by the number of times it
requires residing and heeling If shoe
is resoled and heeled twice, the wearer
thinks it is better shoe than the one
which, though giving longer wear, will
hardly bear residing and heeling more
than once. The same retailer claims
that some manufacturers take advantage
of this knowledge and put inferior leath
er in the soles and heels and thus attain
the apparently impossible feat of in
creasing the reputation of their goods by
using inferior material. 1t is certain,
however, that reputable manufacturers
do not adopt this questionable policy

JOHN H. WALLEh q - -
France is doing her best to steal Madagas-
car from the Hovas, and her action against
Waller seems to be case where tnere may
be two colored gentlemen in the wooo plle.
One of them is Waller, and the otner Is
the fact that the enterprising Afro-Amer-
lean has received very valuable lana con-
oessions from the Hova government, muon
to the displeasure Of France, which is ex-
ercising a protectorate vi ct arms over
Madagascar and claims that she mas e1-
elusive control over the foreign affairs OF
the Hovas. Waller was shrewd enough 20
get control of about $50 square miles OF
land covered with india rubber trees ana
other valuable forests, and as these are de-
sired by the French colonists there seems
good ground for at least suspicion that
the action against Waller Is inspired by
the wish to rob him of his concession.
Waller was born a slave in Missouri In
1850. When the war began, he was con-
fiscated by Federal troops and was sent
to Iowa, where he received common
school education and became lawyer. He
began the practice of his profession in
Leavenworth 10 years ago. He soon re-
moved to Topeka where he started news
paper and became prominently identified
with politics. He was the first colored
member of the Kansas Republican state
central committee and was chosen to the
office by reclamation in $780, In 1888 he
was the only Afro American presidential
elector, and he has been frequently ap-
pointed to state offices.
In February, 1891, when he was ap-
pointed consul to Tamatave, he was super
intendent of the Industrial department OF
the Blind asylum in Kansas City. His In
dorsements for the consulship were excel
lent, and he was credited with being a
lawyer of considerable ability. He served
as consul until Feb. %, 1898, when he
was relieved by the present consul. Since
he retired to private life he has been very
active as business man, and it is said
that his concession from the Hova govern
ment was granted under more reasonable
conditions than were ever before obtained
by foreigner.

AooANof nus io'ohi' years he has repre-
Sented the Russian government at Vienna
Before that for short time he was sta
toned in London, before that was attach
ed to the ministry of the interior at St.
Petersburg and yet previous to that was
Russian minister at Constantinople.
1t will be seen from all this that he
must be very we'll posted indeed in the
politics Of the continent and his senti-
ments will be understood when it is stated
that he considers Vienna the ideal center
of diplomacy. He Is, in short, stout ad
vocate of the triple alliance of Russia,
Germany and Austria and is understood
to have been somewhat out of favor during
the reign of the late car because he could
not or would not conceal his opinion that
Russia's persecution of Bulgaria was
stupid and the Irritation with the re-
public of France filled with danger 1t is
predicted that the coming few months
will witness such ''love feast of kaisers'
as has not taken place since 1875, and
that the object of it all will be to crush
the growing popular movement in each of
the three great Eurpean empires.
Prince Lobanoff Rostovski is of very an
Gent family-he boasts openly that it is

is derived from an early ancestor who was
surnamed Loban because of his high fore
head and Rostovski from the old town Of
Rostov, where the Lobanoffs were for gen.
erations reigning princes.

Great Hop Yards of the Northwest.

The palm for possessing the largest
single hop ranch in the world, which has
for long time been the proud boast of
King county, will soon pass to the east
side of the Cascade mountains. Yakima
county has laid claim to the distinction,
and by next summer will have every
right to it, for there will be growing at
that time upon her rich valley lands 600
acres of hops in one body.
The big Snoqualmie hop ranch in this
county contains $40 acres in one body
planted to hops, and the Lilienthals Of
San Francisco own yard at Pleasanton,
Alameda county, CAL, of $50 acres, to
which they are adding 400 acres more,
which when fully planted will be larger
than the Yakima yard.-Seattle Tele-

THE PUBLIC BUILDING BOSS.
Career of the New Supervising Architect
of the Treasury Department.

Oh tno treasury 4OCPoA SAAOACs
William Martin Aiken, the new super
vising architect of the treasury depart
ment, is a member of the we'll known
Aiken family of South Carolina, but has
been for some time one of the leading ar
chitects of Cincinnati. The office to which
be has been appointed has attracted a great
deal of attention Of late owing to the fact
that the American Institute of Architects
has been conducting spirited crusade
having for its object the abolition Of the
architectural department under control OF
the secretary of the treasury. The archi-
tects of the country generally believe that
the department is a radically wrong and
pernicious government adjunct, but there
seems to be strong sentiment that Mr..
Aiken is man we'll fitted for the impor-
tant position.
Mr.. Aiken was born In Charleston about
40 years ago, and for several generations
his family has been prominent in the So
cial and political life of the Palmetto State.
The town of Aiken, S. c., was named aft
er his grandfather brother, and Hon. d.

A HYPNOTIZING SERMON.
Frank Wilson Falls Asleep In Church and
SAUNDERS Sixty Hours.


Frank Wilson attended the Hemenway
Methodist church at Evanston Sunday
night and fell asleep while the pastor,
Rev. G. E. Wilkinson, was preaching.
He did not thoroughly awaken until
Wednesday morning at $50 o'clock.
Drs. Palmer and Gray worked over the
unconscious man the greater part of
Sunday night without avail. When Will
son awoke, aside from slight weakness
he said he felt as we'll as ever.
Wilson is about IS years old and is a
student in the Garrett Biblical institute,
Evanston. He is of slight build and of
fair complexion, and of late has been
complaining of not feeling well. He and
Harry Boyes, another student, went to
church together. Shortly after the pas
tor began speaking Wilson's eyes closed,
and his head dropped on his companions
shoulder. He was apparently sound
asleep. Boyes, knowing that Wilson had
not been feeling we'll and thinking that
on account of the excessive heat in the
church he had become faint, did not at
tempt to arouse him. After the congre-
cation had passed out at the close of the
service he tried to awaken his compan-
ion. Repeated shakings seemed to make
no impression on the sleeper, and DIR.
Palmer, who was present, advised that
Wilson be carried out to the fresh air. He
was Immediately taken outside and given
a vigorous rubbing and restoratives ad-
ministered.
At one time during the operation Will
son appeared to be regaining conscious
ness, and opening his eyes said: whats
the matter? Where am I?' Then he
went back into a comatose condition.
Seeing that the case was of serious ma
ture, DR.. Palmer called a cab, and the
young man was taken to his room at DR..
Gray's home. Here both physicians con-
tinued to work over him. All Sunday
night Wilson's respiration was low, but
regular, and his pulse at times was very
feeble. He came out Of his unconcious-
ness naturally and now appears to be
all right. Neither DR.. Gray nor DR..
Palmer can give any explanation of VIII
sons long sleep. They do not think that
any serious results will Chicago

Cremation In Pennsylvania.

The cremation of Sir Samuel Baker,
the African explorer, calls attention to
the fact that many prominent Philadel-
phians have been cremated, and others
have provided by will for that DISPOSE
ton of their remains. Ali the Pennsyl-
vania furnaces for burning up bodies are
kept quite busy. This disposition of re-
mains usually implies the absence of
Christian burial, as few evangelical min
listers will oficiate at a cremation. It
has been decided that member of a
