The Man of the World.

Only little brown woman she;
Man of the world and proffgate, he;
Hard and constituencies, cynical, yes .
Somehow, when lie and the woman met,
He saw what other there is in life
Than passion feeding and careless strife:
There came resolve and sense of shame,
For she made his motto Faith and
Fame"
The world is foolish; we cover truth:
We're barred by the gates that we built on
youth;
Two were they, surely, and two might stay,
But she turned him into the better way,
His thoughts were purified, even when
He chafed aud ragged at the might have
been:
He learned that living is not a whim,
For the soul in her entered into him.
He fights, with others, TO win or fall.
And the spell of the woman is over al.
Bravely they battle, In their degree.
For The woman love shall be proud
OF mer'
And man and woman, the one In heart .
MAY he buried together or buried apart
But the strong will battle in his de gree
For ''The woman I love shall be proud
OF mcr'

A Stitch In Time.

Mothers who do not care to spend more
time than is absolutely necessary over the
weekly mending basket will do well 10 darn
stocking toes aud heels before they are
worn. A piece OF black net should he fast
ened over the part TO be strengthened and
the stitches run through Its meshes. Darn

necessary mending almost indefinitely.

WASHING HANDKERCHIEFS.

IN LACE the handkerchiefs in warm
II water in whchthere are few drops
OF ammonia aud wash them with
CASTLE soap and rinse in the usual
manner. They should then be
squeezed, then in this thoroughly wet state
spread out on handicapped washstand,
or, lacking that, on the mirror or windo W
pane, taking care. with the aid OF another
very wet cloth, to spread them faulty,
smoothing out any wrinkles with the same
wet cloth. Should the handkerchiefs be
embroidered they must be spread with the
wrong side against the marble or glass.
The precaution should be taken OF wiping
off the marble Or glass first in order that
no dirt may spoil the ultimate effect Of
the novel but most efficacious mode of
ironing. The articles so treated must be
allowed to remain upon the glass until
thoroughly dry.

A CHURCH SENSATION.

Placerville, CAL, Dec: 29.-Great ex-
element prevails here among all classes
of people over the abusive language used
by Bishop Wingfield of the Northern
diocese of California in criticising Rev.
G. G. Pierce, rector, and for 80 years
pastor of the Episcopal church in this
city. Bishop Wingfeld, during the morn
ing service called meeting to determine
whether this is parish or a mission.
Then pointing contemptuously to the
pastor, he said ''If it is a mission we
are going to put this man out: lie is
not worthy of his position"
He Furthermore denounced Mr.. Pierce
as an unmitigated liar. The women COM
prising the congregation surrounded the
pastor in the chancel, attesting their al
legiance to him. Excited throngs crowd
ed the streets during the morning and
threatened violence to the bishop should
his threatened removal of Mr.. Pierce
be accomplished.

PRESIDENT DOLE INTERVIEWED.
Miss Kate Field Queries the Head Man
of the Hawaiian Republic.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 29.-In the Times
Herald of tomorrow will be printed an
interview with President Dole of Hawaii
held by Miss Kate Field. The interview
is elaborate, filling several columns and
touching closely on Hawaiian politics and
international questions. Although it
does appear in Miss Fields letter the
talk was had in the presence of Mr.
Dole's cabinet, the members of which
subscribed to their chiefs opinion I'M
reservedly.
Miss Field called his attention to the
fact that his government is said to he
actuated by an insane desire to pelpet-
uate itself in office.
Mr.. Dole said:
"The fact that the government is wGrR-
ing for annexation to tile United States
is a good denial of this charge. Annex
alton may deprive us. or some OF us, III
office. In the higher offices are men TO
whom it means personal sacrifice end
business loss to discharge their duties.
1t is simply a SANDER to say this desire
for an extension is simply n pretense.
We are working in good faith and | be
lieve the people appreciate the fact. As
to the form of annexation that will best
meet our views it is difficult to say. y
territorial form of government, unmodi-
fled from the form obtaining in the United
States Territories would scarcely be
suitable Probably the best course
would be to gradually develop from our
present system, the Federal authorities,
of course, having from the beginning
jurisdiction over our custom houses,
postoffices and Federal courts. Our own
government should not he limited by the
United States law concerning Territories.
A new system would have to be invent
ed to suit our conditions. much the same
as is the practice of England in estab-
fishing a new colony. There is no set
system. Each colony is organized as
the necessity of the case demands"
In reply to a statement by Miss Field
that she had been told that if the United
States did not annex Hawaii they would
be offered to England, Mr.. Dole said:
sour sole policy is annexation to the
United States"
Other parts of the interview refer to
domestic, political and material affairs
of the island.

ROBBED AND MTTRDEREn


New York, Dec. pa special to the
World from Lapaz, Bolivia, says:
-Four American citizens, Charles Ber-
ner, Alfred Head, Thos. Calswell and JAS
Miner arrived at Chuquizaca last week
after five weeks journey from Brazil
where they had been working for years
and had amassed considerable fortunes,
which they were taking home. They re-
manned several days spending money
freely and gambling extensively. On
Tuesday Miner accused Gonzales, the
acting mayor of having cheated him,
playing marked cards, and offering to
prove the assertion.
Gonzales drew pistol but was knock
ed down by Berner and general fight
followed in which 80 persons threw
themselves on the friendless Americans
Finally the police arrested the Ameri-
cans, letting the natives go free. The
Americans were taken to a filthy JAIL
left two days without food, and after
trial in which they were accused of being
spies and were not allowed to send q
message to the American consul, they
were sentenced to death. The sentence
was carried into execution Thursday at
noon, publicly.
Their property has disappeared, but il
is known Gonzales has distributed il
among his friends and the police.

SLICK RORRERS

New York, Dec. 29.-In addition to the
robbery of $4,000 worth of diamonds
and jewelry from the Madison Square
residence of l. Townsend Burden Friday
night, it now transpires that another
robbery similar in its mode of execution
was committed on the same evening in
the house of Mrs. Francis Barnes, 239
Central Park, west, at about the same
hour at which the Burden house was
robbed. The loss in the case of Mrs.
Barnes was considerably less than that
of the Burdens, aggregating not more
than $4,000. Mrs. Barnes had been at
dinner with her son in the dining room
and discovered that she had been robbed
when she returned to her own apart
ments. Her diamonds and jewelry were
in pasteboard box in drawer in her
dressing case and she found that the
