Washington, Aug. 2.-Secretary Alger
and Secretary Long are in conference
with the president over the serious sit
uation in the Philippines. They have
important dispatches from General
Merritt and Admiral Dewey. Secretary
Alger admitted the significance of these
dispatches, but declined to state their
exact nature.
General Merritt has again cabled the
war department relative to the situa-
ton In Manila, which he finds very un-
satisfactory and dangerous, owing to
the attitude of the insurgents. In the
opinion of General Merritt the attitude
of the insurgents there is similar to that
assumed by Garcia's Cubans upon the
question of their right to enter and pos
sess themselves of the city. although in
this case the insurgents are a very
much more formidable element, being |

Better News From Camp Thomas.

washington, Aug. 2. - Commissioner
Fl. Clay Evans has just returned here
from Camp Thomas, Chckamauga
park, and called at the war depart
ment to describe to Secretary Alger the
condition of affairs at that great mill
tary camp. The commissioners report
is much more encouraging than those
which have been received from other
sources. In the first place, he says that
the total sick rate in General Poland's
whole division does not exceed 4 per
cent. The same low rate obtains
among the Tennessee soldiers. The usu-
al sick rate among troops in an encamp-
ment is said to be about per cent.
General Wade told the commissioner
last Thursday that his sick call that
morning was about 1000 men, there be-
ing between $4,000 and $4,000 troops in
the camp.

partments of store. That is the mum.

everything from a cannon to needle
may be purchased. You may have your

stored or insured. You may have a
house built, decorated, furnished all
complete, with the servants and insur.
ance ON the property, from one estab-

Whist In the Church.

And that's what's the matter with
Emporia-too much whist. The paint
ed china set is married to cards Women
have no higher thought from week :
end to weeks end than winning head
prizes. They grow nervous, irascible,
bad tempered and ugly playing cards.
Little Crows feet appear at the corners
OF their eyes after an evening with
whist, and deep, vertical lines pillow
themselves just above their noses.
There are more plain women in Empo.
ria who lost their bloom at the rented
card tables than there are women who
have worn themselves out over the
kitchen stove. 1t is worry, not work,
that makes women fade, and cards are
sapping the juice out of the town. Only
the young people patronize the public
library. The old folks make whats
trump? the chief end of man. Cards
have invaded the churches One church
has a big factional row looming upon
the horizon because the pastor has jump
ed cards. Another church narrowly
avoided it last winter A third pastor
sees his best customers whooping it up
in whist clubs and hasn't the nerve to
say a word. In the meantime poker
rooms, which are just as improving and
elevating and just as helpful to the
town as whist clubs, have opened on
Commercial street, and the town is en-.
Joying the fruit Of the seed the women
have planted. -Emporia Kan. Gazette

Hounding Celebrities.

Dr. Paul GARNER, a French specialist
in lunacy, has been giving some infor-
nation about the insane men and wom-
EN- who follow celebrities about and fall
i'll love with them. The doctor has to
send two or three women Of this sort to
asylums every month, and nothing is
known Of the cases by the public. Good
looking priests, the doctor declares, are
notably marks for the attention of such
females. After the priests, but in lesser
degree, come the members of parlia-
ment whose names are most frequently
IN the newspapers or who make good
speeches in the chamber, the authors
and the handsome actors. The latter.
like the priests, have often been threat
ened by their jealous admirers In some
instances women have gone to the the
aters with loaded revolvers ready to fire
at them, but for some reason or other
nave failed to carry out their purpose.
AS to actresses, DIR. GARNER states that
their dangerous adorers are terribly nu-
merous. Nine. Sarah Bernhardt has
sometimes to be watched over very care
fully. Her worshipers secrete them
selves in all sorts Of places in order to
see her enter or leave her theater or her
residence The special detectives have
mad to interfere on two noted occasions
IN order to save the famous actress from
the bullets or the daggers of maniacs
who resolved to injure or kill her be-
cause she refused to respond to their fat
teries and passionate declarations of
love.

BALL PROGRAMMES.
Made In Very Great Variety Of styles
suited to All Occasions.

Made In Very Great Variety of Styles,
| suited to All Occasions.
Ball programmes are made in hun
dre,is of styles. A wholesale dealer in
New York prepares sample book,
which is of the size of an atlas and the
thickness of dictionary. Fancy cards
| for some other uses are shown in this
book also, but of ball programmes alone
there may be 500 styles. The book is
like great album. The dealer sends
out 1850 such books to printers and
stationers.
Programmes can be bought at almost
auy price, including many at extremely
low prices. Nearly all are more or less
ornamented, many of them with en-
bossed work finished with gilt or in coll
ors and in great variety of designs.
There is scarcely any society, perhaps
none, that could not find here an appro-
pirate programme. There is, for in
stance, ball programme embellished
with trolley car. A number of pro-
grammes. suitable for yachting club
Dances have yacht surrounded by va
rious emblems Of yachting and of the
sea- There are programmes for musical
societies, with appropriate emblems.
and for railroad men, for bicyclists, for
military organizations for letter car
riers, for firemen.
The cords and tassels for the pro-
grammes are separate article Of man.
ufacture. They are produced in great
variety of colors, qualities, sizes and
styles and sold in enormous numbers
and many of them at prices that seem
marvelously cheap 1t is probable that
nearly all the programmes of the kinds
referred to, handsome and elaborate az
many Of them are, would sell complete
at prices under IS hundred. There are
folded ball programmes, with a picture
decoration, that are sold at wholesale,
without printing or cord and tassel, AZ
low as 85 cents hundred.
The production Of costlier pro-
grammes, such as sell for IS hundred
and upward, is a business by itself. These
are made in about 100 different designs,
ranging in price up TO 81. 25 each They
arc made in a great variety Of shapes
and sizes, and, as with the less costly
programmes, Of designs appropriate to
the occasion on which they arc used.
The more costly programmes arc adorn-
ed with hand painted picturea Cellu. |
loid in various forms is employed in the
making Of these programmes, and satin,
lace and papier mache arc also used. |
All these programmes are of larger size
than the less expensive varieties, and
each one is put up in box. A pro-
gramme OF the highest price was an |

The programmes most commonly sold |
among the costlier kinds bring about |
SIS a hundred.
There are sold Of the cheaper vari- |
cites OF ball programmes millions annu.
ally; OF the costlier far fewer. These
may be numbered in thousands. Winter
is the season of the most active demand J
for ball programmes, but they are sold
the year round. Some ball programmes
are exported to Mexico and the various
Of South America. Many of |
the designs are equally suitable and ap.
propriate anywhere. The printing is
