The Note OF the Powers.

The note OF the European powers
presented to the president today, has
not, in the opinion OF members of the
administration, changed the situation
in the slightest degree. What pressure
was brought to bear in this mildly ex-
pressed hope that further negotiations
would result in the maintenance of
peace, is not known, but it is confident
~ believed that it is the result OF per-
sistence on the part Of Spain for some
expression OF peace between the two
countries. The note is not regarded in
any sense as protest against the
course this government has pursued
thus far or is likely to adopt to secure
stable government in Cuba.
Some OF the governments represented
in the note are known to be in full ac.
cord with this government in its pur.
poses with respect to the Cuban oues-
ton, and therefore any theory that the
note was intended as remonstrance is
not regarded as tenable.
The reply Of this government, which
had previously been read and approved
by members of the cabinet, is not con-
sldered as indicating any change in the
fixed purpose of the president to inter.
vene IN Cuba at once, nor is it believed
1t was the expectation of the majority
OF the foreign representatives present
that the United States should change
Its policy or regard the joint note as
other than an expression in behalf OF
peace and without significance.
Mediation Will Not BE Accepted.
SO far as known in administration
circles no further representations on the
SUBJECT are expected. No offer of
mediation on the part of the Euronean
powers has been received, and there is
some authority for the statement that
none Will be accepted if proffered
This has been the fixed policy from the
first, and there is no prospect of y
change in this regard.
AT the embassies and legations. the
presentation OF the Joint note of tha
powers was rgarded as the event Of tho
Gay. An ambassador from one of the
great powers OF continental Eurone
stated that it was without a parallel IN
history. That it was the first and onlv
l'me that SIX great nations, represent.
ing IN the aggregate the powers of civ.
lilzation, had united in this solemn
manner to secure the peace of the world
Inns was, this authority stated. a move.
ment historical in character and one
hitting to have occurred in the advent
OF the Goth century.

BISHOP IS ATTACKED.
Tndignities Suffered by Earl Grams
ton in Picking, China.
Saved by the HerOism of DIR. Lowry
Who Held the HOwling China
men in Check, Although Sc
riOusly Injured.

The family of Bishop Earl Cranston.
formerly head of the Methodist Book
concern in Cincinnati and pastor of
Trinity Methodist church. was mobbed
in the streets,of Picking, China, Septem-
Der 80. Letters to this effect from
Bishop Cranston himself have reached
DR.. David H. Moore at the Methodist
Book concern at Cincinnati.
Bishop Cranston's family consists of
his wife and three daughters-E Ethel,
Laura and Ruth. With them at the
time of the attack was DR.. Lowry, a
missionary to China, and his daughter
Mabel. aged IA years. Bishop Grams
tons youngest daughter, Ruth, is only
ten years old.
1t was the first feast day in China
since the empress had caused the re-
sciIding of the emperor's reforms, and
the populace had been greatly excited
by agitators. On the same day four
English people, two Japanese, Freneh~
man, a German and an Italian were
attacked in the same way.
DR.. Lowry, whose hero1sm probably
saved the lives of one or all of the party,
had one of his ribs broken by huge
stone. Last reports say that he is now
done up in plaster jacket.
The account of the rioting, as given
by DR.. Morse, is as follows:
"Dr, Lowry and his daughter started
on donkeys to the railway station to
meet Mrs. Cranston and her three
daughters, who are coming to join
Bishop Cranston, who had arrived at
Picking two days before. AS they pro-
ceeded toward the station the mob,
which filled the street on account of
the feast, attacked them with mud and
stones. DR.. Lowry was cut in several
places. The military and police were
called to assist, but did not respond.

JOTTINGS OF TEMPERANCE.

At the demand of the ministers OF
Denver, Col, the chief of police says he
will enforce the law against wine rooms
in connection with saloons.
Faith in God and hard work will not
only strangle the liquor fiend, but it
will ultimately drive the devil out of the
world.-National Temperance Advo-
cate.
The Presbyterian synod OF Illinois,
in session at Bloomington passed a
resolution pledging the Presbyterian
church to prohibition as the most eff
fcctlve plan for dealing with intemper-
ance.
Iowa druggists are being assessed the
regular saloon license tax of $50 per
month in some towns. Sioux City lit
sists on this rule. because the saloons
of that place sell less whisky than the
drug stores.
While an ak. no matter how sharp l.
is, cannot chop Of itself, strong mar
can make the AK chop. So while pro

a prohibitory party can make prohibi

INDIAN NATURAL HISTORY.
An Odd Tale About Birds That Build
Their Nests in the Name of
the Buffalo.

1t was a good many years ago that
old Hugh Monroe, who for more than
rs years had travelled the prairies of
the northwest, told me that once he
had found a birds nest in the thick
hair between the horns of a buffalo
bull that he had killed. He had two
Indians with him, and had killed the
young bull which the Indians were be-
ginning to skin and cut up; and while
they were doing this he plucked some
of the long hair from the forehead to
use in wiping out his gun. AS he
reached down and grasped the hair
little bird-a little gray bird-few
out from under his hand and away
Parting the hair to see whence it had
come, he found round, smooth nest,
containing four little young birds. He
could not tell me what kind of bird
it was.
Not many weeks ago, when I was
sitting in the lodge with my Indian
father and elder brothers, principal
chiefs of the Blackfeet, spoke of this
tale that had been told me, and learned
that all who were present had heard
of just this thing. On-esta-pokau, the
White Calf, had known of one case of
this kind where the bird was black
bird; but this he had not seen him
self.
Once, however, he did see the nest
of ''snow bird" containing four eggs
between the horns of bull. Inquiry,
followed by careful and detailed de-
scription, showed that the bird which
the Blackfeet call 'snow bird" is the
prairie shore lark.
After we had talked about this for
some time E-kus-kini, the Low Horn.
said to me: my friend, l will now
tell you something. Do you know that
Neo-pomulii counts the months of the
winter on his tongue?"
NO" | said, Il know Neo-po-muki,
but do not know what you mean by
counting the months of the winter on
his tongue"
This is it," said Low Horn. "In
spring, if you kill one, and open his
mouth and lift up his tongue, you will
find under the tongue five other
tongues, one tongue for each month of
the winter. In the fall he does not
have these extra tongues. l do not
know why he has them, nor what it
means"
Neo-po-muki is the chickadee, and he
is so called from his cry; for he says
ALWAYS: Summer is coming summer
Is coming. Forest and Stream.

TOM, THE NAMES MASCOT.

lister to his wants, and nothing but VIZ,
ter and ruin on every side! How glad
he must have been to hear a voice that
he knew, and to be taken on board the
United States steamship Fern, in Ha-
vana harbor! A few days after he was
placed upon a chair to have his pic
ture taken. This chair was large
wicker armchair which was saved from
the wreck of the Maine. Tom sat in it,
and tried to look pleasant, as the pho
:ographer told him. He felt peaceful,
his foot was well, he had just eaten his
favorite meal of fish, and the first pose
was a success. A second was attempt
ed. Tom was almost asleep, and looking
very happy, when "Bruiser," the
Ferns dog-a big, rough fellow with
loud bark and sharp white teeth
came near. Tom arched his back like
contortionist at circus. His tail
swelled and the fur stood out till it
seemed twice its natural size; and so
the second picture was taken.
Tom is quite a navy cat. He was
brought on board the Maine by an Of
ticer who took him from the United
States steamship Minnesota, where
he had been don't know how long. If
Tom is still on board ship, he must feel
very frightened when the big guns are
fred, and 1 fear his tail will become
permanently large, and his back a con-
tinual bow! However, Bruiser left the
United States steamship Fern after
awhile, and appeared on board the St.
Paul at Philadelphia. He was plucky,
lively fellow, full of fun, and no re-
specter of persons. He would just as
soon rush into the captains cabin as
into the galley. Poor Bruiser! He was
only cur, although, while he was
puppy, he concealed his plebeian pedi-
gree. In a short time. however he
showed his cur-like qualities, and was
sent on shore.

ALCOHOL.
The Stage of Development Where In
ebriety Can BE Said to BE
a Disease.

Inebriety is a disease il the same
sense that all other ailments are dis
eases when they reach such stage the It
the mental and physical powers are
unable to perform their functions prop
erly and with natural precision while
under the abnormal conditions that
prevail. Alcohol is temporary slim
ulant, and it is an unvarying law that
undue stimulation must pay the pen
atty of CORRESPONDENCE unnatural de-
preston, hence alcohol is depressant
as well as stimulant. Though alco-
hol, when properly administered, is
said to possess medical properties of
more or less value, unfortunately il
also possesses the qualification of a
transitory panacea for woes and dis
appointments of many kinds, for pro-
polling thought, exciting to action, al
hilarant, it is made the presiding gen.
ius of joyful and mirthlnalling occa-
sions, of social fetes, and wherever bril-
liancy of wit is an ambition. 1t is the
siren that lures good men with the
witchery of selfindulgence, and, in the
imagination of those who court it, po-
tent for the relief of real or fancied
discomfort in every form. When men
better realize that alcohol is the chief
promoter of crime and vice in its varied
forms, that only that which is bad can
result from it's use, that it serves no
good purpose for elevatine the race, and
that the world would be better off with
out it, they will better understand that
the drunkard pays too great a price for
the much nooted protection of per
sonal liberty" (so-called). memorable
penalties are all that remain to the
credit of the little bank account of the
drunkard and his family, and good gov
eminent pays an additional penalty by
reason of his enforced presence as de-
structive force.-Banner of Gold.

Short and to the Point.

A few years ago, in one of the south
ern towns of New York state, man
died who had not led a very good life
says Truth. His family insisted that
sermon be preached at the funeral
however, and all due respect paid te
the dead mans memory. No minister
in town would officiate. as all were
seemingly engaged. However, a re-
tired elder, rich and kindly hearted
agreed to attend. The house was filled
with neighbors, all rough and mostly
ignorant. A short prayer was offered
and hymn sung. then the elder, fold
ing his hands in front of him. began:
"My friends. if this man was bad mar
| have said too much; if good man.
have said enough. Let us pray"

The Lowrys finally escaped and met
the Cranstons at the railway station,
ION their return Mrs. Cranston and
Ethel were in the lead, passing through
the streets in chairs. Mabel Lowry and
Laura followed in cart, and DR.. Lowry
and Ruth were in third cart. They
gave directions about taking a cir
cuitous route to avoid the altar of
heaven which was the center of the
feast celebration, but the chair-bear-
ers disobeyed and went past this place.
AS they approached the altar Of
heaven they saw the mob in violent
demonstration, which they learned was
an attack on the secretary of the Brit
ish legation and a lady whom he was es-
corting. The mob turned its attention
to the Cranstons. StGEes thrown by
the Chinese quickly shattered the win
dows in the chairs containing Mrs.
Cranston and Ethel The occupants pro-
tected themselves Us best they could
with their wraps and the chair fur
rishings. The chairs were later found
to he filled with stones.
ut seemed almost miraculous that
both escaped death, to which the coolies
had abandoned them.
when the carts caught up DR.. Lowry,
disabled as he was, jumped out and
tried to drive the crowd back, urging
the occupants to hurry up and escape.
This left the ten-year-old daughter of
Bishop Cranston alone and her screams
for her sister Laura were pitiful. DR..
Lowry, although he had no help, beat
back the mob, which consisted of a
thousand Chinese, knocking over sew
eral men with a club he had picked up.
DIR. Lowry's bravery enabled the.
family to escape to the foreign quarters
AT the time the letters left China they
we're safe.

THE MAKING OF DICK.
Heredity Was Strong Hut the VIII
Was Powerful Enough to
Conquer.

Il tell the tale as twas told to me. -
1t all happened long ago, so long ago
that the boys who went to school with
Dick are among the oldest inhabitants
now.
1t is a rough town. that seacoast viii
lage, and they say it was rough then,
only it was much smaller. Nowadays
they have a good school system, a SUI
perintendent and special teachers; but
Miss Mary taught in low, one-room
schoolhouse then. Nowadays they have
Janitors to take charge of the buildings
and furnaces TO warm them, but Miss
Mary swept her schooiroom and made
her own fires.
There were other pupils in the school
of course, but my story deals only with
Dick, or, rather, with Dick and the
teacher.

first day of her term, as be artistically

don't calculate to do much studying
this term"
A shout of derisive laughter went up
from the other boys. The idea of Dick s
studying was funny, to say the least.
The puny teacher came to the door
just then and rang hand bell, and the
pupils went in. The first day with a
teacher was apt to be interesting, and
they were in a mild state of excitement
as to what Miss Mary would do next.
Instead of calling class, she stood
On the platform in her nervous way and
told a story. She couldn't tell why
she told the story of the Greek runner
and the lesson drawn from it by st.
Paul to these stolid-looking girls and
boys, but she felt imnelled to tell it,
and she told it well.
When Miss Mary went to her board
ing place that night, and was eating her
supper of clam chowder and Goldfish,
she knew why she had told that story,
and to whom. 1t was to Dick Devine.
Dick was sketched for her in few
words by Cap'n Esau. Father drank

FRILLS OF FASHION.
Apparel Women Should Wear If They
Wish to BE Dressed
StyIishly.

White silk waists are the thing to
wear with your blue cloth skirt and
coat, and very pretty touch is given
with narrow belt and necktie of blue
or mauve velvet ribbon. The collar band
should be of tucked white silk, and the
velvet, 1R inches wide, is carried
around the lower edge and tied in q
short bow in front. A pretty mode.
among the white waists has yoke back
and front, where it points down to tbs
belt, covered with lace and outlined
with band of white silk embroiderei
with blue.
Some of the newest coats are made
sacque shape, and so long that they
reach within nine inches of the bottom
OF the skirt. A ichu-shaped collar ARD
cuffs of fur are the finish. French WON.
en- are wearing pointed wraps of CLOTH
20 match their gowns. Fur and bands
of velvet arc the trimming
A pretty theater waist of pale yellow
silk opens in front over vest of black
satin covered with cream lace. Tho
edges of the silk down either side are
trimmed with a braided pattern car
ried out in black silk cord, and the coli
lar band is of satin covered with lace.
<f1lle belt and cuffs are of black satin.
The new silks are exquisite in color
and finish having a wonderful sheen,
so soft and deep that it must be part
of the entire fabric and not simply a
shine on the surface. How much there
is in name remains for the purchaser
to discover, but something in satin
called "Cotele dor" has a crosswise
cord, is very heavy, and comes in beau-
tiful Light colors. Princesse satin woven
with fancy surface of small squares
is very elegant for coats and wraps.
Satin RoXane," very glossy, is another
variety, and there is new MORE very
attractive in the marking and softer in
finish than the old silks of this kind.
Whole volumes might be written
about the variety in neck gear in sight.
but the latest is a small edition of the
crinkled bow made of black velvet and
pinned to the collar band in front. Rib
bon four-in-hands are very pretty, of
course, and to make variety tie the rib
bon in very short bow, leaving the
ends to hang straight down to the
waist. Another fad is to fasten the in
side edges of the long ends together
with gold studs, first making eyelets
in the ribbon, of course.
If you have any old cameo pins or
bracelets, have them mounted in gold
clasps or buttons for a finish on your
cloth gown. Fancy buttons are great
feature of fashion, and some of them
are OF enamel, beautifully painted, an
tique silver, set with rhinestones, and
large buttons of velvet, covered with
real lace.-N. Y. Sun.
