. TYPICAL VIRGINIA MATRoN.

Not only by reason OF her personal
worth and lovely character. but because
a tribute to her Is a tribute TO the most
exalted type of Virginia womnnhood. the
death OF Mrs. Taliaferro. widow of Gene
raj William Il. Taliaferro, which occurred
AT her home in Gloucester Wednesday
calls for more than passing notice.
Mrs. Taliaferro illustrated in the house
hold, in society, and in culture all the
best traditions OF the Virginia matron Of
the old school. Her life was a lustrous
example of all that is truly womanly, ana
a constant protest against all that is UNI
womanly. In the domestic circle 1t fell
70 her and those in sympathy with her
ideals to exemplify that the true wife
Is a constellation of virtues" and yet
prove
.But one upon earth is more beautiful
and better than the wife-that is the
mother"
In her way and walk in the world Of
society Mrs. Taliaferro, while repre-
sentative woman and brilliant
ornament. was reproach to the
public woman She won dominion by
grace. gentleness, sweetness, and rehne-
ment-by traits and influences essen
TALLY the antagonisms of those OF her
new" and progressive" sister While
gifted with a strong mind, and devoted
to reading she was in every way the op-
posite of the strong-minded woman, and
the incense she burned at the altar OF
culture was always an offering TO the
pure and the elevating. As Christian
she inspired a song of hope and faith ana
thankfulness In the hearts of those about
her and in all things her days put honor
upon her and upon Nirginia's daughters.

An Inspection of the Disman-
tied Workshop
Of the Late John w. Keely OF
Motor Fame
UNEARTHS A FRAUD.
Mysterious Forces Were the
Result of Trickery.
Tubes Found EncaSed in the
Brick Walls.

Philadelphia, Jan. 19.-The Press to-
day publishes an article covering with
illustrations, over a page in space, Civ
ing the details of an investigation made
by that paper of the dismantled work
shop Of the late John w. Keely which
investigation, the Press contends, clear
ly proves the mysterious Keely motor
to have been a delusion and deception
and that its alleged mysterious forces
were the result of trickery.~
In the investigation, which has been
going on for over week, the flooring
of the workshop was taken up and a
brick partition wall was removed. The
Press was assisted in the work by Prof.
Carl Herring, a consulting engineer
Prof. Arthur W. Goodspeed, assistant
professor of physics of the University
of Pennsylvania; Prof Wilmer, of the
University of Pennsylvania, and DR.. NJ.
G. Miller, who has had special training
in exploration and research in the way
of mound digging and accordingly
superintended all the digging opera
tiOnS.
Clarence B. Moore son of Mrs. Bloom
field Moore, was an interested spectator.
The statements in the article, which are
SubStantiated by signed statements of
the above named scientists are to the
effect that tubing was found concealed
in the brick work and under the floor of
the labratory.
This, it is claimed. laid bare the pos
sibilities of deception, as the tubing is
of the kind calculated to stand high
pressure and could have been used in
connection with the great steel sphere
found last week in the laboratory
which the experts intimate was used as
a reservoir for compressed air or COM
pressed gases, and the tubing could
thus form an agency for the forces that
moved the motor in the exhibition room.
The contention of Mr.. Keely and his
friends for many years has been that
no tubing of any kind was needed to
work this machine. The views of Mr..
Herring and DR.. Goodspeed are that the
presence of the tubing and sphere
makes the use of normal forces possible
on the part of Keely. This view Clar-
ence Moore concurs in, and Prof. Whit
mer feels that the possibility of trickery
confirms the diagnosis that most scien-
fists make as to the delusive character
of the Keely mystery.

A FAMOUS SCIENTISTS MOST WONDERFUL DISCOVERY

Future generations will see it no long
er upon earth.
AS DR.. Alexander Hill, Master of
Downing College, and Vice Chancellor
of Cambridge University, England said,
consumption is now to be classed as
zone of those mysterious diseases which
are absolutely preventabIe."
DR.. Slocum has made it so.
With liberality, born of true great
ness and broad -mindedness, the discov-
erer of this new system of curing con-
sumption and building up weak lungs
offers to send to all State Journal read
ers who will write for it, complete
free course of his treatment consisting
of three large bottles of his prepara-
tions.
The system consists of three reme-
dies which act simultaneously and sup
plement each others curative action.
Every first-class druggist dispenses
the Slocum System of Treatment in
original packages, with full directions
for use
Merely send your name and full ad-
dress to DR.. T. A. Slocum Laboratories,
9S Pine street, New York, when you VIII
receive the three free bottles at
once.
Write then, without delay. Do not
wait till weak lungs become weaker or
until the germ appears, but take advan-
tage while there Is yet time, Of this
broad and liberal offer.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1899-01-19

Cold weather means hard work for
your lungs.
Hard work is good for strong people,
but death to weak
That's why cold weather is death to
thousands who suffer from weak lungs.
There is a danger point for all people
with weak lungs beyond which 1T is not
wise to allow their lungs to go.
Weak lungs may last you for years,
but if you once get past the danger
point and stay there, there can be but
one ending Consumption.
The proofs that you have passed the
danger point come quickly enough:
cough, cold, sore throat, pain in the
lungs. fever, night sweats, loss of sleep
and of appetite, loss of flesh or vast
ing away-all tell the tale too truly.
When your lungs are weak, there is
room for the consumption germ to
grow. and it grows all too quickly when
it once gets started.
Time was when every consumptive
was doomed. But that time, thank God,
By the untiring efforts and brilliant
genius of one of the worlds greatest
Scientists lifetime of labor and re-
search has been crowned with success.
Consumption can now, by the new
system of treatment of this eminent
physician, be rendered null and void.
1t can be prevented.
It can be cured.

OUACHITA BURNS.
Steamboat Entirely Destroyed
in the River at Memphis
Today.

Memphis. Tenn, Jan. 19.-The Mem
phis & Vicksburg packet liner Ouachita.
Captain Bender, was destroyed by fire
this (Thursday) morning at the foot of
Jefferson street where she was tied up
for the night at the Memphis dock.
The blaze started about 1:15 o'clock
and in fifteen minutes very little was
left of the boat except the hull and a
mass of twisted rigging. Rumors spread
that there were several passengers
aboard, but on close investigation, it is
lived everyone escaped.
The Ouachita was a passenger and
freight boat in the Memphis and Vicks-
burg trade and was valued at $50, 700,
with insurance of SIC, 900. The fire orig
mated in the boiler room.
The boat had a cargo of merchandise
for points south and was to depart this
morning.

23 MEN AND A DOG
Rescued From Sinking Steamer and
Brought to Port.

New York, Jan. 19.-The Atlantic
Transport line steamer Menominee,
which arrived today from London,
brought to port Captain Honeymoon
and twenty-five members of the crew
of the British tramp steamer Glen
dover, which was abandoned at sea
in a sinking condition on January II. in
latitude 1928, longitude BIZ, while on
the voyage from Philadelphia to Sligo
with cargo of maize.
The Glendower left Philadelphia De-
cember 81, clearing the capes of the Del
aware on the 2Sth. Shortly afterward
the Glendower experienced bad weather,
the wind coming out from the west and
shifting to northwest with a heavy sea.
On January 2 the storm increased and
blew with great fury, and enormous
seas boarded the vessel, during which
Peter West, a seaman, was washed
overheard and lost. On the 7th the
steamer dipped her stern, when an enor-
nous wave broke over her, washing
everyt thing before it. The steamer filled
rapidly. Every effort was made by the
crew to clear the vessel, but without
success. The pumps became choked
with the cargo. Fortunately, on jan
uary IL, the Atlantic Transport line
steamer Menominee hove in sight and
rescued the entire crew, consisting of
twenty-three men and their Scotch COL
lie dog, and brought them to port.

THE BILL NOT ADEQUATE.
Mr.. Householder's "Civil Service" Bill
Won't Remedy the Evil

The senate spent yesterday afternoon
in committee of the whole discussing
Senator Householder's proposed law for
the introduction of civil service reform
in the state charitable institutions
Although this bill was given three
hours serious consideration in the SEN
ate there is a very general impression
that it will not be passed by the house.
The intention of the bill is commend
able but it does not remove the state
institutions from the influences of par
tisanship in which has been found all of
the evils of which people complain
There are 10 900 words in the House.

sections The senate quit work on the
fifty-fifth section and adjourned for the
day.

WILL HAVE TO COMPROMISE.
If the House Wants Money Tt Will
Have to Please the Senate.

The Populist majority in the senate
today made it's first declaration of war
against Governor Stanley and the Re
publican house of representatives. There
was no public announcement of the
coming contest, but the evidence was
found in the appropriation bill reported
by the senate ways and means commit
tee this morning.
The situation is this. None of Gov
ernor Stanley's appointments will be
confirmed until the Republican house
agrees to mOke sufficient appropriation
to pay the senators and members of the
house their salaries for the special ses-
sion which were held up by State Aud
itor Cole.
The senate has stolen a march on the
house by amending the house appropri-
alton bill which was introduced by Mr..
Dawes a few days ago appropriating
$4,000 to pay the per diem and mileage
of members up to date. The senate first
passed the bill. The chairman of the
Populist steering committee then sug-
gested that the bill be reconsidered and
the bill was withdrawn.
The bill was then referred to the ways
and means committee, and was report
ed this morning in entirely new form.
The senate bill as adopted and passed
by the senate this morning appropriates
$50, 900, sum sufficient to pay the sal
aries of employees and members during
the regular session, now in progress.
The senate will insist upon the pas
sage of this bill by the house, and
caucus agreement has been made that
the senate will not recede from it's po-
Sition. Should the house decline to pass
this bill then the members will receive
no pay for the regular session. Should
the house pass the bill then it will be
impossible for them to raise a question
against the appropriations for the reg
ular session. This then will reduce the
matter to one simple proposition. The
members will have drawn their pay, the
money having been appropriated, then
comes the question OF appropriations for
building and other purposes, including
also the confirmation of Governor Stan

ating $40, 900 for a new cottage for the
Beloit industrial school for girls, also
making the usual appropriations for
maintenance, amounting to 1000 each
for the ensuing fiscal years.
Senator Campbell presented a bill es-
tablishing a new insane asylum at Par
sons An appropriation of $25, 900 is
asked. Parsons offers 200 acres of land.
Senator's Anderson'S bill provides for
the construction of a new cottage, in
dustrial building and barn at the To-
peka reform school. Including repairs,
this bill carries an appropriation of $685.
OOO
Senator Andrews presented bill car
rying an appropriation of $4,000 to
grade the road from Atchison to the
state soldiers orphans home.
Senator Tom Anderson introduced the
bill, which is pending in the house, ap-
propriating $12, 900 to pave the Sixth
street road to the insane asylum.
