''NO such things as DISCUSSES are used

reau,'' said Chief Wilkfe of that Organ1-
zatiOn a few days ago. The boy who
reads the ten cent literature describing
the many lightning changes ana us
guises made by alleged sleuths of the
government and other services mag
ines these stories to be true, and the
impressions he receives remain with
him for a long time. AS a matter OF
fact, no such thing as a disguise for
secret service detective is known, and L
do not know of a case ever worked by
an operator of the bureau in which
false faces or other articles of this kind
have ever been used. do not know OF

the running down of criminals believe
that they do harm and quickly expose

METEORS WERE DISPERSED
Flammarion Says He Predicted This
Long Ago.

New York, Nov. IA dispatch to
the Herald from Paris quotes NJ.
Camille Flammarion as follows:
LAS I had calculated, the shower of
shooting stars was not very abundant.
The meteors had become dispersed
along the whole length of their trajec-
ton. Instead of the hundreds of thou
sands observed in 1893 and in 1888 it
has not been possible to register even
a thousand.
THE balloon ascents were successful
above the mist. NJ. Jansen, director
of the MeudOn observatory, who con-
ceived this ingenius idea has just tele-
graphed me as follows
'' 'Rikhofs ascent made in absolutely
clear sky reached a height of 1000
metres. One hundred Leonids, twenty
of which were of the first magnitude,
We're observed from the balloon
1t was an excellent voyage and there
was an easy descent near the village of
Plessis Sainte OppOrtune, department
of the Eure. (Signed),
JANSEN.
This was a splendid astronomical
innovation"

It is noted that those who have come
forward with bonds which they are
willing to surrender to the government
at the market price, are mostly private
individuals and small holders. Perhaps
the New York banks are not so badly
off as the public has been led to be-
lieve. At any rate they are showing
no inclination to relinquish an invest
ment which pays them double interest,
even at the good round premium which
the government securities command.
Four and five per cent interest from the
government and six per cent on the
circulation based on the bonds, is not
to be relinquished without stronger
pressure than they have yet felt.

DAMON WENT TOO FAR.
The President Didn't Intend That He
Should Resign.

Washington. Nov. 1.-THE president
has refused to accept the resignation of
Mr.. Damon, the Hawaiian minister of
finance, and that official will remain in
office at least until such time as con-
gress provides for a system of govern
ment for the Hawaiian islands. Mr..
Damon's resignation was rendered at
time when he was IN Italy seeking to
secure the emigration to Hawaii of
italian laborers. This pursuit was in
the interest of an organization of plant
ers and capitalists and it was thought
to be scarcely fitting that the minister
of finance should engage in such out
side matters. The resignation was ten
dered under these conditions, but as
Mr.. Damon has since terminated the
connection between himself and the or
ganization referred 60 the reason for its
acceptance at once disappeared.

SECRETS OF MALARIA.
IFrom the London Times.I

CFrom the London Tfmes.l
A correspondent writes from Sierra
Leone under date of August IS: The
medical research expedition sent by the
School of Tropical Diseases, Liverpool
arrived here on the 10th, by the steam
ship Fantee. It consists of Major Ross
of University college, Liverpool a pu-
Pill of DR.. Koch, and Mr. Austen, entO-
InOlOgist of the British museum They
have been busy ever since their arrival
in making experiments and in inVesti-
eating fever cases. The expedition could
not have come at a more OppOrtune
timem, as the weather is exceedingly
unhealthy at present and FEVER cases
are prevalent. One most important dis
cOVery has been made-that is, that the
AnOpheles mosquito, which absOrbs and
transmutes the fever parasite, abOunds
in this colony; also that the fever par
asite exists in it after it has bitten
fever patient. The fever parasite has
also been found in large numbers in the
blood of fever patients in the military
hospitals. Another remarkable discoV-
cry is that of the tsetse fly, which ap-
parently thrives in this climate. The
discovery will account to a great extent
for the reason why horses invariably
die after a short time spent here, and
for the great mortality among cattle.
1T is worthy of note what little Inter
est has hitherto been taken in Sierra
Leone. Although it has been in our
possession for 100 years, and hundreds
of horses must have died during that
period, yet no investigation has ever
been made to find out if the mortality
among horses was caused by the tsetse
fly; on the contrary, it was always sup
posed that the tsetse fly did not exist,
and that horses died from loin disease
caused by eating the grass of the coun-
try. The expenses and disadvantages
of human transport might have induced
the government to ascertain If the tset
sc did not exist on the west coast Of
Africa"

The white rose lifted her stately head
And answered me fair and true;

breast

The poem was first recited in public
by the senator at a dinner given to him
by some friends at the Union League club

woman who employs five servants

ton as the girl who visited here last
year who really lived in New York
city.
When a young man takes a girl to a
show, he is expected to provide the
best seats, call with a hack, open and
close the gates, help her with her
cloak, and act generally as though he
were a Iackey serving a princess. But
when two girls go to a show together,
they buy seats in the balcony, meet on
a corner, and have a good sensible
time. Young men would go in society
more if the girls did not work them SO
hard. Most of the girls, we regret to
say work the startled fawn business
too hard
Some men, when they accumulate
ten thousand dollars, become SO swOl-
len with their Importance that they
are never able to make another dollar
There are men in Atchison in position
to become very useful and employ
hundreds of men, but, having accumu-
lated ten thousand dollars, they take
up so mich time in counting their
money, that they are unable to ad-
vance. It should be remembered that
in this fast age, a. man who has accu-
INFLATED ten thousand dollars, does not
cut very wide swath.

The trouble about living a thing

yourself up.

When a man is getting married in a
church he feels about the same as if he

When a woman meets another woman
