A LEGEND OF THE BLUSH ROSE.

Dan Cupid was roaming garden one day.
His young heart was merry, his spirits were
gay.
He lay meath the trees
And talked with the bees,
His yellow locks kissed by the soft summer
breeze.
The proud lily bent, tho fair youngster to
greet.
The iessamine offered her fragrance so sweet.
He pillowcd his head
In violet be-
BY the worshilng flowers his vanity fed.
The mode.t white rose hung her head In de-
spair
And murmur,d, unconscious that she was 30
fair.
"Ah, were / so bright
A. others, then might
Some kind ray OF love illumine my nightf
Sly Cupid, oerhoaring her whispered COM
plant,
Arose and approached. while the flower grew
faint.
Then he pressed-oh, the bliss!-
ON her petals kiss.
She blushcd and still bushes there, thinking
of this.

Prof. Lilienthal Loses His
Life at Berlin.
Inventor Was Making a Test
of His Flying Machine.
II Got Out of Balance and the Pro-
fessOr Fell 10 the Earth.

BosToN, Aug. IA special cable TO
The Globe from Berlin says: Professor
Otto Lilienthal, the well-known inventor
OF this city, died yesterday from the
effects of fall from his flying machine.
The machine, which Is what is called
double-decker, upset wnile II was at
sharp angles, the pressure of air being
thus thrown upon the front OF the APP
paratus.
Lilienthal had Planned an attachment
for restoring the balance in such cases
and tins was the last ascent he intended
to make in the old machine. He believed
there as no danger, as he thought by
leaning backward toward the tail OF the
apparatus he would counterbalance the
weight in front.
his attend ant says the aeronaut rose
some 80 feet from the mountain. Sud-
denly his machine stopped and Liiienthal
threw himself toward the rear. Ihe appa-
ratus turned several somersets and finally
shot down like a rocket, Lilienthal strik-
ing the ground headtrst. He survived
"a hours feeling no pain, his spine being
broken. His last words were: "Mine Is
the true inventors death; l am satisfied
to die in the interest OF science" He
left a wife and four children.

To Represent This State
at indianapolis.
Gold Democrats Convene
Three Weeks From Today.
An Effort 10 Send Eight Delegates
From Rhode Island.

Eight Democratic boilers are now
wanted who Will represent their fellow
boilers in Rhode Island at the national
conventIon OF gold Democrats In India
napolis just three weeks from today.
Delegate Charles {. Mumford said
today that he didn't know who they
would be, but he knew of one man that
wouldn't be, and that was Mumford.
One trip 10 indianapolis in one summer
is all that patriotism can demand OF any
one patriot.
Ii would hardly be fair to ask Coun-
Gilman Metcalf to go, as he served at
Chicago and went through the ordeal
of the Bryan stampede.
There are, however, other boilers who
have not yet dono any travelling or paid
car fare and hotel bills in the interest Of
sound money aud il Is not probable that
all Will refuse to serve as delegates,
unless this hot wave becomes fixture
and takes possession OF the whole
country.
vention to choose the delegates will be
called. Ii may simply take the form OF
big mass-meeting, OF which every sound
money Democrat in the State may be a
member, entitled TO vote and to debate,
or it may be body composed OF dele
gates regularly chosen Mt primaries in
the towns and cities. The leaders of the
movement, however, are doubtful IL
there Is time to adopt this second
method, or II a representative gathering
could be secured through primaries.
This question Will be decided at the
next meeting OF Chairman Green's COM
mittee.
or course names have been mentioned
and among the boilers who are con-
sidered eligible to represent the State at

Bicycle Thief Detecting
Societies Next.
Liability of Fire Department
Horses to Illness.
The Old Notion About the Industry
OF the Ant Exploded.

IT looks very much as though bicycle
owners will have TO follow the example
of the horse owners and establish
bicycle thief detecting societies. Horse
stealing was at one time an industry.
which gave large profits to the crooks
who engaged in it. and for long time
they were captured and punished on
rare occasions only. Since the ests b lish-
rent of horse thief detecting societies,
however, the percentage Of crimes of this
sort has been materially reduced, while
the capture and punls hment of the
thieves follow in majority of cases.
The stealing of bicycles has grown to be
Ms great, IL not a greater criminal indus
try, than horse-stealing ever was. even
IN the days before the detecting societies
were established.

THE GOVERNMENTS RIGHT.
II Can Fix The Rate for Transporting Mails
and Troops.

Los ANGELES, Aug. 12.-Judge Wei
burn OF the United States Circuit Court
has rendered decision declaring the
government has the right to fix the rates
for the transportations of troops or any
other government business including the
mails over any road. 1t is estimated that
the decision will make difference Of
from 45 to 90 millions i'm the amounts
paid by the government every year for
the transportations OF mail. troops and
otDer business.
The suit of which this decision was the
outcome was Drought by the Atlantic u
Pacific Railroad, backed by all the other
land grant roads, as test case. A
trooper who travelled from Albuquerque.
N. M, to Prescott, Ariz., refused to pay
full fare and rendered the conductor just
halt the regular price OF a ticket. The
conductor refused to accept this, and
after transporting the trooper the COM
pany sued the government.

PEANUT COMPETITION.
The OIL Is Used In Making Fine Toilet
Soap.


Soap.
What is known as the Virginia Peanut
Trust, a combination OF Virginia and
North Carolina peanut dealers, has been
dissolved, and the wholesale price of
peanuts has declined in consequence.
The chief peanut producing states
OF the country are Virginia and
North Carolina, and the trust, organized
five years ego by Norfolk, Richmond,
and Petersburg firms, had for its object
the maintenance of price which would
make the sale OF peanuts profitable to
the wholes alers. The agricultural condi-
tions in both States are favorable to a
very large production OF peanuts, and
Virginia's average crop amounts 10
2, GOO, 900 bushels. North Carolina follow
ing with z. .O00, 900 bushels. During the
last two years there have been large
stocks of peanuts, owned by the whole
salers, retained in warehouses awaiting a
rise, but, the rise not having taken place
as expected, the members of the trust
bave found themselves with glut on
hand, and the pressure to realize has
brought about the breakup OF the trust,
though this is not the only reason, for
foreign competition in the line OF ''pea-
nut oil'' has had considerable to do with
the matter as well.
The United States, though very large
producers OF peanuts, have no monopoly,
for peanut WINS are grown extensively on
both the east and west coasts of Africa
and throughout India. This product goes
chiefly to France and Germany, and bot h
countries deal largely in the mauufact-
ured product, peanut oil. Marseilles is
| the headquarters of this industry, and
tho average Importation into Marseilles,
mostly from the French possessions in
and about Senegambia, amounts TO 10,-
600, 900 bushels year. The peanuts OF
Senegambia yield go per cent. of their
weight in oil, and this oil is very ex =
tensively used in commerce. 1t is i'm
ported from France as olive oil, and what
Is not imported is used chiefly in the
manufacture of soap and perfumes. Mar
seilles is in the section of France from
| which the elements of the best known
and most popular perfumery comes. The
| American variety OF peanut is less rich
| in the properties OF oil than those used
in Europe, 40 per cent. being the general
| average here. One hundred pounds Of
! olives yield 33 pounds OF olive oil, but it
is as Is well known, oil Of a superior quail
| ity. The rape seed yields SO pounds,
almonds yield 4S pounds, the poppy 5S
| pounds and walnu;s GO pounds.
| The dealers in peanut oil in the United
| States have to contend first with the
| competition OF European countries,
| French and German and English soap
being more marketable than American
soaps OF similar excellence. they have to
| contend, too, with the increasing use Of
| oleomargerine aud Of cotton seeo oil.
