HIS RISE RAPID.
Governor of Ladrone Islands Former
" an Elevator Boy.

San Francisco, Aug. 1O.-Francisco Por-
tusach, who is now the American provis-
iona1 governor of the Ladrone islands, was
formerly a resident of San Francisco and
at that time was employed for about a
year elevator man in the Chronicle
building. That was in 1892
Four years ago, on the Endorsement and
recommendation of Justice of the Peace
Barry, he. attempted to secure the appoint
ment as janitOr in the new city hall, but
did not land the position. He then de-
parted for the Ladrones. When the United
States took possession of that group of
islands on June q last Portusach was the
only resident American citizen, and was
accordingly put in charge of affairs after
the Spanish governor and garrison had
SURRENDERED anq had removed to the
to Cavite
Governor Portusach is a native of the
island of Guam of the Ladrone group,
and is about 80 years of age. He became
an American citizen during his residence
in California. His father is full-bIood-
ed Spaniard, but his mother is a native
islander. When Francisco Portusach was
here he won the heart and hand of a
young German woman, whom he made his
wife.

ACCUSES WIFE OF MURDER
Negro Arrested In an Arkansas Town
Causes a Sensation.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 10.-John T. Orr,
a prosperous hardware merchant at CIar-
endon, Ark, was assassinated a week ago
and the affair is developing a genuine sur
prise and sensation.
Yesterday morning four negroes. one a
woman, were arrested on suspicion and
later in the day one of them confessed
and declared the wife of the victim had
hired them to commit the crime.
Mrs. Orr was arrested, and since then
there seems to have developed strong
confirmation of the story. Last night the
people of the town got together for a
demonstration that BODIED dire calamity
for all the prisoners. including Mrs. Orr.
The circuit judge had been attracted to
the town by the excitement and when he
saw the danger he exerted his persuasive
powers to restrain the crowd from vio-
1ence. pIedging himself to convene special
court at once for the trial of the accused.

A HAIRY IDOL.
Paderewski's Locks Outdone by Those
of Emil Sauer.

New York, Aug. 10.-A new idol of the
piano has arisen. In hair he is as far
ahead of Paderewski as that fiery Pole
distances an ordinary bald-head key
bangor. So potent is the spell he casts
over his audiences, so wrapped in ecstacy
are the women who sit spellbound by the
music and the waving of his name, that
he has been charged with being a musical
hypnotiSt. European critics pronounce
him the greatest genius of the day, and
the raving of the women for him puts
Paderewski in the shade.
The name of this genius is Emil Sauer
The price which he set upon his services
has made him for years the despair of
American managers. Mr.. R. E. johnson,
who brought to these shore Ysaye, Plan
con, Gerardy and Nordica, has, however
secured him. He says Sauer will reach
New York this fall, and will make his
American debut a the Metropolitan OPP
era House at the commencement of the
musical season.

THE DRAMA AS A REsCUER.
Jane Adams Will Try Tt In Her Hull
House Work.

Chicago, Aug. 1O.-Huu house is to
give the west side a theater, not a play
heavy villain in dyed mustache will
thrill the shouting gallery with the
CORY lines of THE Terror of Rocky
Gulch" and similar plays. but, instead,
one where the young people of the
neighborhood centering about South
Halstead and Polk streets, can find
exercise for their dramatic talents. In
fact, this theater, the construction of
which has just been made possible by
gifts of a number of generous women,
will be the means of the opening up for
Hull house of a new line of work among
the cosmopolitan population of the dis
trict in which it stands.
The building of the theater is the
naturalization of one of Miss Jane Ad-
dams long-cherished plans. Long ex-
perience with the people with whom
could best be taught from the stage.
There were many who would not read
books, who could not give their atten-
ton to the ordinary lecturer, who were
constant attendants upon such dramat-
ic entertainments as were afforded by
the cheap vaudeville shows and thea
tiers of the district.
Finally she decided to use the stage
as an adjunct to her work, and accord
ingly the house gymnasium was prOvid-
ed with the necessary theatrical Access
SOrieS and a dramatic association was
organized. Walter Gray Pietsch. a Cor
nell university man, who had made a
reputation in amateur theatricals dur
ing his college days, performed the task
of organization.
This was done two years ago and dur
ing the first winter such task as the
presentation of LAS You Like IT, was
attempted. All of the characters in the
cast except that of Rosa1ind We're taken
by young people of Bohemian parentage
who lived in the neighbOrhOOd. Last
winter the best of the dramatic talent
to be found in the 80 social clubs includ-
ed in the Hull house scheme was gath
cred together and a new association

HIS TEMPER MAY IMPROVE.
A Son is Born to Richard Mansfield
and Makes Him Excited.

New York, Aug. 1o.-Richard Mans
field is far prouder these days than if
he had just made hit in new play.
He is gIorying in the possession of a
son and heir, which the stork brought
to his home near Rye, N. Y, last week.
He returned from England about a
week ago.
The boy tips the scales at sixteen
pounds and has a luxurious growth of
hair. His admiring papa was so i'm
pressed, it is said, that he determined
he had to be useful somehow. He
rushed off in his carriage to an apothe-

proceeded to fall headlong from the
vehicle. smashing the whole collection.

NEW START IN KANSAS.

To be successful in any line Of bu5i- ness man must weigh well the co1di- tioas to be met and the conditions that exist when he starts in. This applies; to the merchant, the manufactures and the farmer alike. It has always been shown that the man who uses good judgment generally succeeds, while the h=Iter-skelter man dashes in and fails. \ strict attention to business is impeT- atively demanded in every line of com mercial work, and brains as well as brawn are necessary. What is known as the short-grass section Of south western Kansas has had more downs than it has had ups" and deserted towns and abandoned villages are fcu1d everywhere. This has been the result Of endeavoring to use that vast prairie fer purposes never intended Ey nature Just BOW, according to Q writer ir a Chicago paper, there is q fresh boom in that section, and men are succeeding where hundreds of men before them failed. One Of the men now prospering in the newiy-invaded section is quoted as making this sage remark:
 There's people enough here now for ail the pasture we've get. We don't want no farmers. Tn Almighty put buffalo an prairie chicken out here that means we've to stick to cattle an hens.
 That is an instance Of philosophy applied to business, Or rather business methods dictated by philosophical conclusion. Whatever nature designed for that section and that climate seems
 the cne thing to which to pay strict attention. If the buffalo and the prai- rie chicken thrived there, why should not the humble COW and ths egg-laying domestic chicken flourish as well? They do seem to flourish, according to the report, and southwestern Kansas may now take start that will not end il i despair again. The resources Of Kan
 sss, great as they hava already been shown to be, have not yet been fully
 developed That great commonwealth
 is an empire in itself.

General Garcia has an appointment under tho United States government to do certain work which his familiarity with the island of Cuba especially fits doubtless earn, a good salary. The ap- pointment suggests forcibly one way to concil:ata influential CuEanS.

There need be 10 defiance Of civil service re- form by sending q horde O. political office holders chosen for influence down to govern Cuba From high adEninis- u lative department heads down 10 la borers, there is material in plenty on the spot, intelligent and tractable, able to do the work, and disposed to be de- voted to government that will pay them to do 1t. The Cuban problem can thus be solved through the Cubans
 It is notable that Garcia has expressed himself in an interview as repudialing the Cuban republic, calling it a sa- called government, and denying to it any lawful basis. Probably this is oriy the beginning of a series of splits among the supporters Of the republic, which will end il it's falling to pieces.

SINGING ANOTHER TUNE.

Now that the commission appointed to conduct tie investigation into the alleged nisrnanagement Of the war de- partment is at work some of the parti- san papers that ciamored for an inyes- t;gatiol are singing another tune. We copy the following from an eastern democratic exchange:
 Of course there is already a pretty clearly defined conviction that the in- vestigation will be conducted with the purpose Of whitswasIling the guilty ones and glosSing over the defects of campaign management. The result Of any such investigation will not effect the voters of the United States.
 Of course, Now is is perfectly appar- ent that, despite the fact that the pc litical enemies of the administration have done their best by deliberate and wicked policy of misrepresentation to stir the people into 9 demand for an investigation, and have loudly clam cred for one themselves, as a matter of fact fair and impartial proceeding Of the kind is just what they do not want Their verdioS now upon the work of the commission in advance of a scintilla of proof that Lhe inveStfSa- ton is flor the purpose Of whitewash- ing the guilty olss,'' plainly shows the spirit in which they have treated the entire conduct of the administration. This desp;cable temper is shown by the very same class Of newspapers that first hcunded the country into a war before 1t was prepared for one, and when it was over still mere savagsly bayed ct the heels of the government because of mistakes and misfortunes, many Of which ars inevitable wiuh the best equipped nation in the act cf war, while others were due to the fact of cur pc culiar military unreadiness. The American people we are sure will rate at ltheir true value the course of these malignant partisans, who have seized upon the defects Of campaign man agement' as a promising democratic issue for this fall, and, indeed, the only one in sight, and evidently mean to hraZen it out whether their charges are proved CT not. The plain truth is that they want to disgrace their coun- try in the hope of beneftting their party They want to prove against the United States exactly ths weakness that the rest Of the world maintained against it until the contrary was SC glcriously proved, namely, that we did not know how to conduct a war. Ii should be remembered how vociferous- ly these present. defamers of our coun- ! try when they were trying to plunge
 it into war deridad the very dangers
 whose results have now come home to us.

Vegetables as Feed for stock.

The feeding of pumpkins, beets,
carrots, turnips and potatoes to
cattle should be done with the view
more of adding variety to the food
than to give such articles as por-
tons of the regular ration. Grain
and hay are the best of all foods for
COWS in Winter, but the animals ap-
preciate a change from the dry
foods to ensilage or vegetables.
Pumpkins, beets and carrots may
be sliced and fed raw, but potatoes
and turnips should be cooked and
thickened with bran and corn meal
by way of adding to the variety.

are considered the best if kept in
good condition every year.
