from thu breakfast Table.
The average man eats only w meals
a day in his own house, and these meals
are the opportunities Tor social and do
nestle talk, delightful to the wife, who
has no such opportunity as her hus-
band Of rubbing against other minds all
day, and important to the children in
widening their horizon, their views OF
life, says an English exchange.
At the first meal of the day most
women like to talk to their husbands
about the plans of the day, but the
woman who has once received the dis
trait, self-absorbed growl which en-
anates from a male disturbed in the
reading of his newspaper does not again
attempt to ask her husband this or that
on a subject Of domestic interest. The
back OF a newspaper is not q pleasant
thing to contemplate across the break
fast table.
Think of this, husbands, when you
! look round for the casters or other suit
able prop for the back of your paper,
and for the sake of good manners, for
the sake of your wife's feelings and the
example to your children, remove your
newspaper, resereing it for the train,
omnibus, or tram-car.
OF course there are occasions when
matters of absorbing interest must be
looked to at once-telegrams of thrill
ing import. Why not glance at the pa
Per fves minutes before the breakfast
bell rings If it is really essential that
such news should be seen atonceP SPe
cial occasions sometimes justify specia'
behavior, but OF your mercy let the
newspaper be banished from the break
fast table on ordinary occasions.

HUBS CENTER is DINGY.
o New Coat of Gold Leaf Badly Need
ed by the Dome of the State
House in Boston

Boston, July 21.-The gilded dome of
the state house, the shining centre of
the Hub, and the most prominent OBJ
ject in the metropolitan district, is ap-
parently shedding it's coat and is sadly
in need of a new one.It averages about
the color of an old copper kettle, but
there are dark brown spots and streakS
that give it freckled, notified appear
ance wholly out of keeping with it's
dignity. 1t gives a stranger the i'm
preston that the state is poverty
stricken. 1t tends to give the whole
city an unproSperouS, neglected air as
of a place whose glory has departed.
The Bullfinch front is being preserv-
ed, the sacred Goldfish has been cared
for, but the dome has evidently been
forgotten by the lawmakers. The legis-
1ature has to make a special appropria-
ton every few years to keep the dome
in the polished condition that Boston
culture has a right to expect, and judg-
ing from appearances this should have
been done by the legislature of '97. But
it wasn't, and now it will have to go
over another year, a rusty reminder of
somebody's neglect. 1t was in 1888 that
the dome received its last coat and it
cost 4,7S0.79, most of which was for the
gold leaf, of which 1892 packs of the best
% carats fine, were used. 1t is, there
fore, only nine years since the new gold
was put on, and before that the dome
went IA years without a new dress. 1t
appeared to be all right last year and
its sudden loss of lustre is believed by
experts to be due to the fact that soft
coal has been burned at the state house
for about two years.

TO ROUT THE MOSQUITO.
Jerseys Geologist Thinks it Can Be
Done for $1,5OO,OOO.

Trenton, N. J.. July 21.-In the annual
report of State Geologist Smock the
probable eradication of the peSky mos
quito from the North Jersey meadows
is considered with marked detail That
is, Smock treats of plans of eradi
eating the meadows and, of course, that
means the mosquito, too. So the report
in this respect may be considered as
treating of the plague which makes life
a burden for North Jerseymen and
more than miserable for the commuter
who escapes from the hulabaIOo exist
ence of New York.
Geologist Smock employed Consulting
Engineer G. c. VermeuIe to devise a.
plan to carry out a plot. The engineer
has devoted the summer to the work,
and he estimated the cost of carrying
out the plans at something like 1900
900. The engineer states that in his
judgment it would pay the cities of
Newark, Elizabeth, Hackensack and
several towns in Vice President Ho-
bart's county to bear the expense of
putting his plan in operation eff only to
get rid of that notorious pest that in

CHAMPION CRACKER EATER
Ate on a Wager and Swore Out War
rants for His COMPANIONS

Atlanta, July 21.-Justice Landrum acted
the role of referee in cracker eating
contest yesterday and decided as he was
not experienced in eating crackers, he would
dismiss the case. The plaintiff was A. N.
Nalan, who claims to be champion
cracker eater against time, and has med
ais from various parts of the world for
his achievements in this line.
Yesterday morning he made a wager of
81 against a watch and chain that he could
eat 10 soda crackers in 10 minutes without
taking water. He was taken up by Har-
ry Varnadoe and Robert MeCrary. The
crackers were sent for and he went to
work. The way was clear for the first
four crackers. but the fifth and six be-
gan to clog the way and the remainder
proved very great burden. However.
he continued and when the tenth was
nearly gone, and a stream of crumbs
was falling from the corners of his
mouth, the witnesses say, time was
called.
AS one bite remained at the end of 10
minutes, Varnadoe and McCrary took the
money. Nalan claims that the referee
called time too soon and finding argument
of avail, he had warrants sworn out
against them for cheating and swindling.

QUEEN VIC. THWARTED.
The Public Opposes Her Wish to
Make Connaughs Chief Of
the Ary,v

London. July 21.-It has been clearly in
dictated this week to Queen Victoria that
the recent demonstrations of affection to-
ward herself do not extend to all her FAM
lily. She had set her heart upon the APP
pointment of her son, the Duke of Con-
naught, as commander-in-chief of the
British army. A couple of years ago, as
a step toward the realization of this hope,
she Joined in a little scheme by which her
dearly beloved cousin, the old Duke of
Cambridge, was fired out of the post to
his great establishment and publicly ex-
pressed indignation. The conditions of
tenure were at the same time altered, and
Lord Wolseley became commander-in-
chief for four years.
The present trouble has arisen from the
fact that Sir Redvers Butler, adjutant
general, is about to retire in accordance
with the regulations. In ordinary course
he would be succeeded by Quartermaster
General Sir Evelyn Wood, who in turn
would become commander-in-chief.
Desiring to secure the Duke of Con-
naughts earlier accession to the supreme
command the queen suggested to Lord
Salisbury that her son should now be ap-
pointed adjutant general, and there is no
doubt that the premier complacently con-
sented to this arrangement, and that the
minister of war, Lord Lansdowne, also
agreed to it.
The way was thus prepared. An inno-
cent little paragraph was set in circu1a-
ton with a view to ascertain how the
great British public and the military caste
would take it. Then quickly came the
disillusion.
The suggestion that the queens
should be adjutant general has ELECTED a
howl of indignation that is really sur
prisng, seeing that the Duke is not
bad soldier, and is charming man. Even
the faithful Times has espoused the cause
of the malcontents, and the ill-bred radi-
cal newspapers, might have been fore
seen, have made nasty remarks about the
dukes generalship.

Canal Dover, Ohio, July 21.-Edward H.
Neff, of New Philadelphia, who is noted
throughout this section one of the
most expert whitt1ers of wood, recently
sent a stand of his own make to Presi-
dent Mckinley. 1t contains over So, 900
pieces of wood, $500 being diamond shaD-
ed. The 10 kinds of wood represent the
Is original states
The curio is octagon and three feet
across the top, the eight corners being
made of wood taken from the residences
or tombs of the following presidents:
Lincoln, johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfield,
Harrison and Mckinley. Around the edge
runs a narrow strip of wood which was
taken from a train at Elmira, N. Y, up
on which rode James G. Blaine, and an
other strip from the residence of J. B.
Foraker.
The Is small pieces in the four corners
came from the residences of five of Ohios
governors: Hayes, Foster, Foraker, Nc
Kin1ey and Bushnell. The center piece is
made of 1855 pieces of wood from Sena-
tor Hanna's home, which represent the
year of the great honest dollar campaign.
Mr.. Neff has just received a very cour-
teous letter from the president expressing
his thanks for the gift.

GRANTS CABIN IN DECAY.
Tt Has Been Exposed for Years to the
Weather and Relic Hunters in
Paramount Park

Philadelphia, July 21.-The old log cabin
once owned and occupied by Gen. Grant,
which he had brought here from st. Louis
20 years ago, and which now is in Fair
mount Park, is fast deca ying. Many of tho
logs have been rotted by the elements
and others have been carried away by
relic hunters.
Gen. Grant presented the cabin, with the
original furniture in it, to his friend, the
late George H. Stuart. 1t is still the pro-
perty of the Stuart estate, and neither the
city nor the park commissioners can do
anything with it.
George H. Stuart, Jr., applied four years
ago for permission to remove it from the
park, and permission was granted, pro-
vided the grounds should be restored TO
their original condition.
Nothing has been done in the matter
since. 1t is possible that the Grand Army
me nwill- take some action toward pre-
serving the cabin.

Syracuse. N. Y, July 2.-Lillie Serren-
tino is the first girl tramp given to the
world by Syracuse. She was found rid
ing on the bumpers of a freight car when
the train stopped at Oneida castle. She

Lille is Is years old. She had read
stories about tramps and how they con-
cealed themselves about freight trains,
so she climbed aboard the bumpers of a
car and held on until the train started.
After the train got under way the jolting.
the noise and the dust frightened her
pretty badly, but she was so anxious to
escape from her miserable life that she
says she would have gone through to
New York if they had not arrested her.
The girl will be sent to the shelter at

POLICE CLASH WITH ARMY
Chicago Suburb the Scene of a Heated
Dispute.

Chicago, July 21.-Sa1vationists and
the police of Evanston again disputed
about the right of the former to hold
meetings in the streets last night.
For the first time since Brigadier
Brewer made an agreement with Mayor
Dyche to vacate the business streets of
the suburb and hold meetings where no
one would be disturbed by the rattle of
the tambourines and sound of the bass
drum, the members of the Evanston
post marched out into Davis street and
stopped in front of the city hall. The
meeting was a special one. Ensign
Crowley and Lieutenant Gertrude
Soules had been ordered from Evanston
to take a post in the east For week
the army had announced their depart
ure and the farewell meeting that was
/ held last night.
The two officers served in Evanston
for nearly a year and their frieAds en-
couraged the post to hold the meeting
in the street. commission was sent
to request permission for the meeting
from Mayor Dyche in the afternoon,
but he was not at home and the meet
ing was held without permit.
The police pursued their former tao
ties when it was learned that the army
had no authority for it's presence on
the streets. Sergeant Waldron, with
Officers McArdle and Reddick, sur
rounded the crowd that blocked the
sidewalk near the city hall and COM
PEELED the bystanders to vacate the cor
ner. The SalVationistS were also asked
to move on. Gathering together their
muS1caI instruments ana COrcheS, which
had been planted near the curb, they
moved out into Fountain square, at the
junction of Orrington avenue and Da-.
Wis street. This is the spot that has
caused all the contention between the
army and the police. It faces drug
store, and before the Sa1vationists had
fairly located a complaint was tele-
phoned to police headquarters.
The officers resumed their work of
dispensing the crowd with the hope that
the Salvationists would return to their
barracks, but a large portion of the
spectators Joined the circle, and it was
widened to receive them. Then it was
announced that the people We're holding

the price for most creameries was only

1t was cent more in some districts,
but in all there was a falling off from
last month and low water mark was

Secretary Wilson has in effect admitted
this in his efforts to secure an Euro

and he is sending abroad samples of
Kansas butter to introduce it into the

Recently several Kansas creameries,

Kansas City Blues Sign Two
New Players.
Baltimore Wanted Pitcher
"Rusie" Pardee Badly.
st. Joseph R sleases Two Players to
Equalize the Teams Standing
Cincinnati and Boston Break
Even-Baltimore Loses.

Kansas City, July 21.-"Rusie" Par
dee, the star pitcher of the western
Base Ball associat ton, and Runy Viox,
the fast little second baseman of ST.
Joseph, have been released and will join
the Kansas City Blues tomorrow. The
releasing of these two men was for the
purpose of equalizing the strength of
the teams of the association. Pitcher
Carrish and Third BaSeman Belden Hill
of Cedar Rapids have also been let go
for the same purpose. ST. Joseph and
Cedar Rapids were practically in q
class by themselves, and interest in the
sport outside of those two towns had
fallen off greatly in consequence of the
inequality of the teams. At a meeting
of the members of the association held
yesterday in Des Moines the PROPOSE
ton to weaken the leaders and the
second place team was looked upon as
the only feasible one to assure the life
OF the association. Manager Manning
of the Blues, who was present, at once
seized upon Pardee and Viox, and they
will report here at once.
Pardee is a big, muscular fellow, with
the speed of Rusie, and good control.
He was secured by Manager Manning
at the close of last season from the AL
buquerque, n. NJ, team.
Viox is known to the Kansas City
fans, as he played with the team early
last season until he was taken sick, and
when he got well he was farmed out to
a club in the Virginia league. He has
been playing a phenomenal fielding
game for St. Joseph, although his hit
ting has not been up to the 300 mark.
Up to last Saturday Viox had particf-
pated in 81 games in the Western asso-
citation, had made 1876 put outs, $50 as
Sists, 16 errors and had a fielding aver
age of 1852. He was at bat 223 times,
made So runs, 81 hits, stole 81 bases and
had batting average of .278.
