Children Should be Taught to obey.

Repeating commands to children is a
bad habit and leads to many unpleasant
encounters. When a child learns that
a request from a parent must be obeyed,
and will not be repeated, it has learEed
a most important lesson. For example
the mother is upstairs, and calls to Alice,
who is below, to come up, as it is her
bed hour. Alice begins to screech back,
"0h, mamma, can't 1 stay just q little
while longer; say mamma, must / come

QUEER FREAKS OF INSANITY.
An Atohison Woman Believes She VIII
BE an Empress.

Mrs. Emma l.. Rowley, prominent in
church and social circles of Atchison,
Kan, q model wife and mother, and
highly accomplished, is the victim of
strange hallucination, ans has been
committed to the insane asylum. Mrs.
Rowley imagines she is to be empress
of the United States upon the retire
ment of Grover Cleveland as president,
and has selected her cabinet. Bishop
Abel Leonard, of the Episcopal do
cese of Utah, is to be created Pope
Abel l., and Rev. John Henry Hop
kins, of Missouri, Prince John. III. C..
Soloman, a prominent lawyer of Atchi-
son, is to be appointed chief justice,
and other Kansans are slated for other
important positions. Mrs. Rowley Is
81 years old and is in excellent health.
Upon all other subjects than her future
as empress of the United States she con-
verses intelligently and is apparently
entirely rational.
Mrs. Frank Barnes, a young, good
looking and vivacious woman, who is
the wife of prosperous farmer, was
examined twice within one week on the
charge of insanity and was twice ac-
quilted. 1t coming TO Mrs. Barnes un-
Outstanding that her neighbors believed
she was not fright in her mind" she
demanded an inquiry before the judge.
She conducted her own case, examined
the witnesses and made her own pres
entation of the case to the iury The
verdict of the jury was in her favor.
A few days after this examination q
neighbor instituted another case
against her, and another trial was held.
A second jury being impaneled Mrs.
Barnes appeared before it and pleaded
her own cause with such effectiveness
that the verdict was again in her favor.

TO STUDY MARS.

Astronomer Lowell Going to Arizona to
Find Out II Planet Is Inhabited.
Percival Lowell, Boston's famous
astronomer, who is now on his way 20
Flagstaff, Ariz., is at the head of the
most important scientific expedition
planned for more than half century.
The object of the expedition is to make
observations on Mars and to procure,
If possible, evidence to support the
theory held by Mr.. Lowell and other
astronomers that the "Red Star of
War" is inhabited by human beings.
For several years Mr.. Lowell has de-
voted all his time to the study of the
planet Mars. In 1894 he made the most
complete map of the planet ever drawn.
His statement that the canals of Mars
were made by human beings and are
not glacial or surface assures created a
stir among the astronomers of Europe.
Since then his researches have re-
ceived great consideration from astron-
omers the world over, and his coming
observations under such good cfrcum-
stances are awaited with the deepest
interest

CHINA MUST SETTLE.
Indemnity for. Outrages OF Mis-
sionaries to Be Demanded.
Will Also Insist on the Punishment of
Those Concerned In the Riots Re-
port of Lieut.. Walter Nc.
Lean Received.

The New York Herald's special from
Washington says: Not only must China
pay an indemnity for outrages commit
ted upon American missionaries in
China, but the United States will in
sist that adequate punishment be
meted out to those concerned in the
riots. This is the position Secretary
Olney has assumed in connection with
the case of the outrage committed on
the American missionaries at Kiang
Yin in May last, when the missions
were sacked and the missionaries as
saulted.
The report of Lieut.. Walter Mclean.
of the steamer Boston, who was de-
tailed at the request of the state depart
ment to make special investigation,
has been received by Secretary Olney.
The report does not bear out some sem
sational statements originally made
about the Kiang Yin riots, nor does it
substantiate all the claims made by the
missionaries for pecuniary losses. 1t
shows, however, that they were rough
ly treated, being compelled to fee for
their lives. Their buildings were
sacked, some of them destroyed and
their personal effects stolen or in
jured. No one, however, suffered any
severe personal injury. Lieut.. Mclean
estimates the total loss of property at
about $4,000, which is considerably
less than the losses at first reported.
He fixes the responsibility uDon the
officials in charge of the province in
which the riots occurred. The Chinese
government made an investigation of
the investigation, and as a result will
pay all damages. 1t has not, however,
according to the report, punished the
principal offenders and the officials
who neglected to give proper protection
to the missionaries. The state depart
ment will insist that this be done.

HAPPY IN A QUIET WAY.
Two Deaf Mutes Are United In Marriage

Two Deaf Mutes Are United In Marriage
at Xenia, o.
A unique wedding has just taken
place at Xenia, in which John Ernst
Bershing, of Springfield, O., was the
groom and Ida Bartlett, of Xenia, was
the bride. Both are deaf .mutes. Rev.
r. G.. Ramsey, of the United Presby-
terrain church, ofiiciated. A type-writ-
ten copy of the ceremony was held up
before them, and they followed with
their eyes while the minister traced the
words with pencil and pronounced
them for the benefit of the company.
That order was followed until the direct
questions of the ceremony were
reached, and Mr.. Bershing, ST., father
of the groom, translated the questions
into the sign language. The words
we're spoken by the preacher. A nod,
which was clear enough in its mean
ing, and given by each Of the parties,
sealed the contract, and they were de-
clared man and wife. Refreshments for
large company followed the cere-
mony, and after supper both the bride
and the groom entertained the guests
with recitations in the sign language.

DIR. Frank NJ. Close Claims to Have Solved
. Perplexing Problem at Last.
DR.. Frank NJ. Close, of Oakland, CAL,
has perfected a machine by means Of
which pictures or scenes may be trans
mitted by wire. The apparatus close
ly resembles in principle the telephone.
DIR. Close claims to have discovered a
property of light which he calls the
thermal ray. None of the seven colors
have any effect upon thermometer,
but at certain distance beyond the red
ray the mercury rose very rapidly. he
then passed a magnetic needle along the
spectrum and found at certain dis
tance beyond the violet ray an electric
ray or an electric division of the light
rny.
The telescope, as he calls it, is as yet
in a crude state, but DIR. Close believes
he has paved the way so that some day
one can talk to a man in Frisco and sec
him at the same time.

A FLYING ENGINE.
Falls Down the Steep Grade of the
Pixies Peak Mountain.

Falls Down the Steep Grade of the
Pixies Peak Mountain.
Colorado Springs, Col, Aug. 81
But for the automatic brakes on a spe-
cial train ON Pixies Peak cogwheel
railway, large number of passengers
would have been killed yesterday. The
side bars on the drive wheels of the
engine broke so the engineer lost con-
troll of it. The Conductor set the au-
tomato brakes on the cars and stopp-
ed them, but the engine became dis
connected from the train just as the
fireman and negineer abandoned it.
The engine shot down the mountain
at a terrific speed to a curve a half
mile below, where it jumped the track
and shot through the air $50 feet.
When it struck the ground the engine
exploded.
On the train was a party of London
and Northwestern railway magnates,
accompanied by Manager Fred Harri-
SON, of the Cog-wheel road, and s. X.
Hooper, of the Denver and Rio
Grande road.

He Will Vote for Mckinley Even if Il
Nomination is Made by the
Sound Money Democrats.
indianapolis, Ind, August 31.-Del-
egates came in on the early trains and
the hotel corridors have lively APP
pearance. Arrangements are being
made for state headquarters, and the
executive committee has been ut work
completing the list of delegates, as
credentials are received, from those
states which held late conventions.
Florida created some comment by
telegraphing to have banner painted
with a picture of Cleveland and the
words "Our Choice" upon it. There is
some talk among late arrivals against
making q nomination but they will be
in hopeless minority, as the temper
of the great majority is in favor of n
ticket.
Among the most pronounced against
a nomination is r. r. Lassiter, of
Texas. He says that in the south, Nc
Kinley will be much stronger than if
there was n third ticket. Delegate
Cunningham, of Tennessee, is of the
same opinion. The Texan announces
that he will vote for Mckinley even
if nomination is made Mr.. By
mum, who is a most prominent pro-
moter of the movement, says the third
ticket will carry several states and
includes Texas and Kentucky among
the number.
Perry Belmont was among the ar
rivals today. He came as looker-on,
but will probably hold a proxy from
New York.
