Jeanette Macketebenessy is the
name of young Indian girl living in
Detroit, Mich, who is employed by
some of the best artists as a model for
their life classes, and who figures in
many fine paintings, sometimes being
the picture itself, and again only an
adjunct, but always an attractive fea-
ture. In this models veins flow the
proudest blood of two Indian tribes of
renown the Ottawas and the Chippe-
was. and by the right of lineal descent
she would be the last queen of the OF
tawas- She is the daughter of an In
dian chief who is the great-grandson
of Black Hawk.

On our side all the preparations for
striking a final triple blow al the
doomed city continued, says an &C.
count Of the taking of Santiago, in
Golfers Weekly. On the other side
of the city the fleet lay grimly ready.
Our men took their meals, such as
they were, in the trenches, while those
on relief were ordered to advance
within 80 minutes after the flag Of
truce should 60 down. In our rear
heavy trains of artillery went lum-
bering up the hillside all the livelong
day. During the day Gen. Miles ar
rived, amid thunderous cheering, and
betook himself and his staff to an
other conference with the weakening
Spaniards. At this conference, so it
was reported later on the very best
authority, Gen. Toral admitted that
1t lay within his authority to agree to
a general surrender on behalf of the
Spanish forces. why, then, don't
you surrender" asked old Joe Wheel
err. The blunt question was trans
lated to Gen. Toral. He hesitated a
minute, then shrugged his shoulders
with a pitiful smile, and said in low
voice: 81 surrender" What followed
is current history.

The rumor of farmers trust to
control the wheat market of the
United States prove to be far better
founded than are most rumors, re-
ports an exchange. That an attempt
is really being made to bring about
such a combination is beyond ques-
ton. The men behind it are said to be
not dreamers, but practical business
men, Nevertheless the difficulties be.
fore them are stupendous. The OBJ
staoles to be surmounted in the forma-
ton Of any business combination are
bers to be admitted. When it comes t O
buying up dozen or more glue fac
tories or fertilizer plants it is all com
paratively simple, but when it is a
question of getting thousands of farm
ers to pool their interests and pursue
the same policy in relation TO their
product, the simplicity gives place to
completely. 1t is not enough to sim
ply tell them that by combining they
will be able to put the price of wheat
wherever they wish; they must also
be convinced that ali of the parties to
the combination will keep faith. The
American farmer understands human
nature as well as the next man.

man of you to be killed, wounded or

END OF ANOTHER CRAZE.
There Seems to De No Further Trouble
from the POpulist
Party.

The last setback that the cause of
populism has sustained is the suspen-
sion of 1.-The Peoples Advocate" the
paper that was started by Thomas Wat
son, who was candidate for vice presi-
dent in 1896.
Mr.. Watson established the paper to
instruct the people as to the pernicious
principles of established things. Every
thing that existed was wrong, and it
was time, according TO his computa-
tons, for prophets of Mr. Watson's
learning and ability to appear and cor
rect the times, which were out of joint.
For brief period men of this class
had their day. Timid persons and those
who constitutionally distrust the sta
bility of American institutions, be-
lieved that great crisis was at hand
and that the country was mena1ed with
greater danger than was furnised by
the civil war or the disputed presiden-
tial election of 1867.
We have periodic spasms of similar
excitement. Every popular disturbance
causes an opinion to grow that the end
of representative government is in
sight. But the government still en-
dures and these crazes pass away.
The fact is, instead of being danger
Gus, they are wholesome in result.
They direct public attention to the dan
gers that may attend such govern
ment as ours. They serve as danger sig
nails, and when the point is passed we
can look back and see what has been es-
capped, and make provision to escape the
recurrence of that danger.
The populist excitement seemed to be
more threatening than any socialistie
disturbance that has been caused in
recent times, but how quickly it has
subsidized! AS soon as public conditions
improved, the people perceived the
falsity of the teachings of self-appoint
ed and ignorant monitors, and almost
in day, so to speak, there has beer
recovery of public reason.
1t may be taken for granted that il
will be many years before the people
are led away in the manner so man,
were two years ago. They see to-day
that the adoption of the views whicl
were advocated by those who affected
to be the peoples apostles would hav
been destructive Of the interests of tn
whole people.

pernicious teaching which led man.

A correspondent writes frcU

it or get out. l have married more
than 500 couples. There is less disor-
der. the fighting has decreased and
fewer murders have been committed"
When he first wens to hold court he
got a 1OO-pound constable, who ar
rested a negro for murder. Five hum
dred negroes gathered, demanding
fair play. Green sat with repeating
rifle on his knees and two siX-shoot-
ers on the table. The constable, who
was similarly armed, had Davis hand.

Deafne.s Cannot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There il
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu.
cous lining of the Eustachien Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rlmbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dtion, hearing will be destroyed forever;

book on this country objects to what
he calls American hotel customs. He
disliked to be asked by "a raw, bony,

'the doses are infinitely small" This

Miss Helen Gould's recent declara-
ton that she never dreamed mere
money could give her so much pleas
ure as it has in her recent work for
the suffering soldiers and sailors, ac-
centuates the fact that wealth is the
source OF half the nobleness as well
as well as half the misery of life. Her
great reward has not been in the res
olutions of thanks rendered her by
the council of the second city in the
world, nor in the notoriety given her
name through the newspapers, but
in the prayers and thanks and CRATE
full smiles of the men and lads she has
succored. Plans of life cannot ignore
the fact that wealth, rightly used. is
to poverty what strength is to lame
ness, or the sight of one eye to that
of two.

The Dosh of Bryan.

Col. Bryan's letter to "Coin" Harvey
pledging q monthly contribution to
the sixteen-to-one cause from now I'M
til October, 1900, shows he has lost
none of his adroitness at misrepresent-
ing. "Since our fight" he says, sis in
the interest OF the plain people, to
use Lincoln's phrase, or the common
people, to borrow a Bible term, we
must appeal to them for the means of
carrying on the contest" None but a
cunning demagogue with infinite au-
dacity would try to make Abraham
Lincoln and the Bible serve the cause
of cheap money. "The financiers,"
says this arch fomenter of class ha-
tired, 'can contribute large sums to
support the gold standard, because the
monopoly of money gives them great
pecuniary profit" In reality. no class
would suffer as much from the adop-
ton of free silver as "the plain people"
