STATELY Dinners In the olden Times.

The Clermont dinners were grand af-
fairs even when there was no state occa
sion, and the daughters OF Captain Living
ston were not allowed to attend them very
often, as their mother feared that so
much grandeur would foster worldly pride
in their hearts, which she was far too
strict a Calvinist to wish to do. "And
truly" said MRS. Smith, sit must be con-
fessed that though personally Cousin
Chancellor was as kindly and gentle to
the lowliest as he was magnificent to the
loftiest in station, and was over u stanch
republican in politics, there was little
that savored of republican simplicity in
the retinue of liveried servants always en-
ployed about him, and in the general
sumptuousness and state of his manner of
living. Helen Evertson Smith in Cen
tury

OSMOND' DAY PARDONED.
HOW HE REACHED HONOLULU
SOME YEARS AGO.
He Was Sentenced to Death as a
Traitor-Broke Out of Prison and
Finally Reached This City.

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. S.-Leslie
resident of this city for the past six
months, who twelve years ago was
sentenced to the death penalty at Sgd
ney, N. S. w., for the alleged crime Of
having furnished secret information
of q reasonable nature to the Russian
Government, yesterday received the
welcome tidings from England that
his mother, after many years of tire
less effort, has secured for him a full
and free pardon from the English
Government. He is now at liberty to
return to his native land.
The story related by Mr.. Day is an
unwrtten page in the career of man
who for the last eight years has had
various troubles. Since coming to
Spokane a change has taken place in
Days character, and some months,ago
he became a member of the Volunteers
of America in this city.
Days story is that he was born in
England thirty-seven years ago. His
mother was the daughter of a rich
member of Parliament. When young
his parents took him to Russia, where
he remained for number of years,
during which he attained a military
knowledge in connection with the
Russian army.
! After attaining his majority he
came into considerable property and
went to Sydney, N. S. w. He engaged
extensively in contracting, and
through the influence of his powerful
English connections he secured tn,
Notifications at Sydney. While en-
gagged in this work he was accused o.
having furnished to the Russian army
a copy of the drafting and plans of the
Notifications. He was arrested, tried
and convicted and sentenced to dealt
as a traitor. Pending the date set fol
prison at Berrama for eight months
With a number of others he broke on
of prison, boarded a vessel, worked hi
passage to the FIJI islands and goins
from there to Honolulu and thence t,
San Francisco.
All this time his mother has devotet
herself to securing pardon for he
son. She succeeded in securing cvi
dence tablishing his innocence of III
crime for which he had been sentence
to death, and with this proof she wen
before the English Government. Da
says he will now make preparation
to return to England.

The Man Who Raised the Census.

When the last census was taken, the re-
turns showed that one of the Scottish par
ishes had only increased its population by
seven from the time the previous census
was taken.
One or two cronies dropped in on the
registrar just as he was completing tho re-
turns to hear how matters stood. One of
them, an extensive family man, inquired
what the increase was, and on being in.
formed that it was only seven he ex-
claimed:

surely maun be some mistak' somewhere.

THE THREAT OF RUSSIA.
Demands Payment From Turkey of
the Crimean War Indemnity.

Constantinople, Nov. l4.-The Russian
embassy here has made an important an
nouncement to the Turkish government.
In substance it is, that if Turkey intends
to apply part of the Greek indemnity to
the increase of Turkish ornaments, Rus
STA desires to remind Turkey that the UNI
paid arrears of the Turko- Russian war
indemnity amount to $l,300,0O0 pounds,
adding that if the policy of the Turkish
government is as indicated, Russia will
demand payment of this amount. The
Russian announcement has strongly i'm
pressed the diplomatic corps, who believe
it is directed against the plans to reorgan-
ize the Turkish army.

BRANDING TO BE RESUMED.
Government Animals VIII Again BE
Tortured and Disfigured.

Washington, Nov. l4.-The old prac-
tice of branding animals owned by the
United States with a hot iron, will be re-
sumed under a regulation just issued by
Major General Smith. 1t provides that
all public animals shall, upon the day
received, be branded with the letters az.
s. on their left fore shoulder, the letters
to be two inches in height. Cavalry
horses, assigned to organizations, will al
so be branded on the hoOf of one fore foot
and one and one half inches below the
corOnet. The practice of branding horses
and mules used in the RAINY was abandon
ed few years ago out of humane CON
sideration for the animals, but it has been
found necessary to have some distinguish
ing mark on these animals and branding
with a hot iron is the only practical
method of making it.

The adulteration of foods has reach'
ed alarming proportions in the United
States. 1t is said by those who have
investigated the subject that scarcely
anv article Of food or any drug Is not
initiated or aduterated by some manu-
facturers. The prevention of such
frauds is matter Of grave concern.
Certainly If the government takes pans
10 see that weights and measures snail
be correct, much more should it thwart
attempts TO deceive as to the quality OF
the goods sold, when that affects the
health and life of its citizens. The De
partment of Agriculture, by direction
of Congress. is investigating the char
acter and extent of adulteration. Many
of the States have enacted laws TO pre-
vent such practices. and it is very de
sirabc TO. know how these laws have
been enforced. and with what results.
The department desires information as
TO specific cases Of aduteration, fraud
ulent labelling, imitation, etc, Of foods
and drugs.

FOUL PLAY IS SUSPECTED
MAN WITH MONEY is MISSING.
J. r.. StrOup of Waitsburg Lost Sight
of in Spokane, Having Nearly
Four Thousand Dollars In His
Pocket.

Spokane, Wash Nov. l3.-J. I. Stroup,
of Waitsburg, a wealthy farmer came to
Spokane a week ago with $4,000 in cash,
intending to pay most of it on bills and
notes. About noon Saturday he drop
ped out of sight, and has not since been
seen. 1t is feared by his friends that he
has been foully dealt with.
After Mr.. Stroup harvested a large
grain crop at his farm near Waitsburg
he took his threshing machine to the Big
Bend country, and was engaged in thresh
ING there for some weeks. He was last
working at Edwald, where his machine is
Saturday morning he came to Spokane
with the bulk of his seasons receipts,
$4,000 in cash About II o'clock in the
morning he appeared at the hardware es-
adjustment of MCGOWAN Bros, SIS
Sprague avenue, and there paid $500 for
Russell & Co.. from which house he had
purchased a threshing machine some time
ago. He took up the note securing the
payment, and left the store with man
unknown to those in MCGOWAN Bros
store. who had accompanied him. At the
store, it is reported that he was anxious
to pay his bills, and take up considerable
negotiable paper he had outstanding
about the city. 1t is also said that he
had been drinking, although the liquor
was noticeable only on his breath, and
not in his actions.
At that time he had the bulk of the
$4,000 with him. 1t was his intention to
90 next to the Old National bank and
take up some paper he had there. 1t
could not be learned last night whether
or not the bank officials had records of his
being there.
Where he was stopping in the city or
where he went are facts that may never
be learned.
Employees Grow Anxious.
Yesterday the men who had been EN-
poyed by him at Edwald and who had
been expecting him to return to go on
with the work, sent to Spokane to make
inquiries about him. 1t had taken some
time for their suspicious to be aroused,
but finally they could no longer account
for his absence, and set to work to in
vestigate From MCGOWAN Bros. it was
learned that he had been there, but this
was as far as his movements had been
traced last night.
Mr.. Stroup is a married man with q
family. He is about 80 years old, about
five feet 10 inches tall, and weighs about
lG5 pounds. He wears light mustache.
Last Saturday he wore an old suit of
gray clothing, white felt hat. of the
somberero shape, and a dark flannel shirt.
He is reputed to have considerable
property in the vicinity of Waitsburg and
to be well equipped with this worlds
goods. The theory that he had gone to
his home at Waitsburg was exploded last
night by the arrival from there of a gen
tleman who said that Mr.. Stroup had not
been seen there, and it was not known
that he was missing.

There Is no more remarkable feature
in the development of the new South
than the rapid growth of cotton manu-
featuring. Before the war there was
scarcely cotton mill in the South;
now there are 4S2, and they use more
than million bales of cotton year.
During the last ten years the South
has made much more rapid progress in
cotton manufacturing, relatively, than
the North has. In 1887 Southern mills
used 401 ,452 bales of cotton and North
ern mills 1.710,0SO, while in the year
ended Aug. 81, 1897, Southern mills
used 1,O42,671 bales and Northern mills
1,SO4.6S0. At this rate cotton manu-
featuring in the South will soon sur
pass that of the North.

Much surprise has been expressed
that while the price of tirst-class BIZ
cycles has fallen from 500 to $50 or
$75 the price of typewriterS remains
the same. In first hands a 500 type
writer still costs 500. The question
possesses practical interest, because
there ought to be a corresponding de-
crease in the price of articles manu-
featured under similar circumstances
Actually the same machinery is used
is producing a large portion of the
framework, the wire parts and some OF
the movements of both machines,
Within year or two typewriter man,
ufactures have been turned into BIZ
cycle factories with but little expense
AS the bicycle demand fell off and the
typewriter demand increased the fac
tories were changed back to the Origi-
nal plan. The same might be said Of
the price of watch movements, the
cost of which constitutes the principal
cost Of watch. The machinery in a
watch factory can be adapted at little
cost 10 the manufacture OF either BIZ
cycles or typewriters. The cost OF
watch movements has decreased sc
that one of the best of watches can be
bought now for onc-half what 1t would
have cost ten years ago. An intelli-
gent person explains why the price OF
the writing machines is as high now
as ever, if not higher, as to equal
grades. 1t is the everlasting trust and
evapora aSn nj weight is p.'G manu-
facturers that Keeps up the price of
typewriters. The trust markets all the
standard machines and controls the
trade. The trust must pay enormous
dividends. That is why the cost of
typewriters is maintained at the top
notch of prices, Notwithstanding the
great reduction in the cost of manu-.
facture.

The rest of the world Is in very baC
humor just now. Europe is in bad
way. Great Britain is growing at the

some seals and Secretary Sherman; also
because she holds us in some way re.
sponsible for the proposition to have

ment under which Egypt is now con
