BLANCHE BATES AT HOME

Blanche Bates is all smiles be-
cause she has been able to come
home for a season, says the Chro-
nlcle of the 18th. She never look
ed handsomer. 1t was not a matter
of concern to her last evening that
she had just crossed the continent
and had a rehearsal before she
could call a moment her own.
She was ns CHEEKY as il she had
been enjoying long time of rest
and had no work before her. She
was more anxious to tell how brac-
ing it was to get into California,
how many moments it took her to
decide when the opportunity pre-
sented itself to come, and how she
would have grieved if she could
not have arranged the trip than to
talk of the pleasant and unplea-
SAINT experiences she has had since
she left. r--
In a passing reference to the
Daily episode she said that it had
been a feast for the gossip, and
the very last morsel had been mas
ticated. She held, as in one au-
thentic interview that there was
not so much said and done as had
been reported; that the situation
was disagreeable and that che just
got away from it.
Miss Bates was especially indig-
usnt about the use that had been
made of her name in the absurd
letter purported to have been
written by her to different clergy.

pie for an actress to be a Chris

evening at the California Theatel
in "Ths Last Word" with the full

ANNIE WHEELER WILL GO
Refused One Commission, She Secures
One from Red Cross.
viii Not Be Turned Away from Determination
10 Accompany Her Father General
Wheeler's Marriage.

Washington, July 10. - Miss
Annie Wheeler, General Wheeler's
second daughter, will accompany
her father to Manila, and to that
end will leave Washington with
him on the $3.50 train tomorrow
for San Francisco, where they will
sail by the transport Tartar on the
Goth inst. Miss Wheeler goes to
Manila as a nurse, and upon her
arrival will at once report to the
surgeon in charge of the Govern
ment hospitals at that place.
Miss Wheeler at the time the
telegram reached her Of her
fathers orders to Manila on Fri :
day was visiting Miss Helen Gould
at the latter's country place on the
Hudson, where she has been for
three weeks past. She at once
went to New York for a conference
with Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, with the
result that the appointment as a
Red Cross nurse was Immediately
made out and given to her. Prior to
that time Miss Wheeler had made
personal application to the Sur
General to be allowed to &C
company her father to Manila, on
ly to be refused in the most posi-
tive manner. From her father the
plucky young daughter could hope
for no aid, since he was very much
opposed to the idea of her going
to the Philippines. But it was q
case of where woman wills, anc
so the Surgeon. Generals refusa
was promptly turned into a per
nit when Mrs. Whitelaw Reid ant
Miss Helen Gould took the matte,
in hand.
MISS Wheeler is most enthu
sisstic in her praise of Miss Goult
and declares there was never 6
truer, simple hearted, more gen
erous and in every way capable
woman than she to whose open
handed philanthropy and untir
ing work last year the American
soldiers owed such a lasting deb
of gratitude.
| General Wheeler's approaching
departure for Manila received tn
rumor of his marriage to Mrs
George w. Childs. As regard
the statement current in Philsdel
phis and New York that Mrs
Childs, who arrived in the cit,
this morning, had come on for tn
purpose of marrying Genera
Wheeler prior to his departure
for the Philippines. Mrs. Child
gave a most emphatic denial to
night.
"There is positively not on,
word OF truth in it," and Mrs
Childs. "No; l am not marriet
to General Wheeler, nor shall
marry him prior to his departure
for Manila"
General Wheeler when ques
toned was equally positive in hi
denial that any immediate mar,
riage was contemplated, but b,

RETAINED from committing them

MAN,LA.s STREET CARS.
Very Inadequate ssrvio. Gives an Opening
for American Capital.


Another thing which is destined to
undergo speedy transformation is
the tramway system now in operation
in Manila. Although Manila has over
100000 people within its limits and is
scattered over wide extent, the street
cars are small concerns propelled by
II motive force of one pony, or rabbit.
Appearances Indicate that the animal
is large rabbit. but common belief
credits 1t with being species of horse,
with Stats like a picket fence. The
cars always are crowded, and 1t is
really pitiful to see those poor little
beasts struggling along with an Indian
driver yelling and blowing rubber
whistle that makes n noise when 1t eX-
hausts. When the car reaches one of
the inclined approaches to any of the
numerous bridges, an extra pony Is
attached, the street Is cleared for half
II block, several excited natives start
the street car with the ponies gallop-
ing md the momentum of the force
acquired in the 1OO-yard dash carries
the car to the level of the bridge. This
is one OF the most exciting events that
happens In Manila, and Is attended by
30 much noise and yelling that 1t comes
nearly being n ceremony. The car sys-

TRIUMPH H,oF THE LADY BUG.

One of the most serious criticisms
made of the department of agriculture
several years ago by eastern newspa-
pers concerned the money it had spent
in bringing lady bugs" from Austral-
la to "infest" California and Florida or
chards. But the lady bug (Novius car
dinalis) turned out to be one of the
most satisfactory importations ever
made from the Antipodes. its habit OF
preying on the scale that was blight
ing fruit trees being the means Of saw
Ing to this state and Florida their
principal landed industries.
Now 1t appears that the little insect
has performed like once for the cit
rus groves of Portugal Specimens
sent to Lisbon from this state in 1896
have taken hold of the scale and are
exterminating it, Though but few Of
the parasites survived the long Jour-
ney by rail and sea, their immense
fecundity enabled them in the course
of two years to populate the groves
with millions of their kind. AS a re-
suit Portugal will be able soon to again
compete with Spain and Sicily for the
orange and lemon trade OF Europe.
The success of the effort to eradicate
the scale pest ought to be the means
OF keeping the department of agricul-
ture flush in funds for parasitical re-
search. 1t would be worth millions of
dollars every year to this country to
find a natural foe of the potato bug,

But it is a quest in which all govern

special reference to their own ento-

RaiIroad men report that the move
ment of manufactures from the East
to the West is quite pronounced. Many
Industries can be carried on more
cheaply than in the East and
manufacturers are alert to all
such advantages. One industry
which has emigrated from the
East to the West is the manufacture of
pearl buttons. The largest button fac
tories in the United States are at
Newark, n. j., but several have re-
Gently been established in Iowa. The
Eastern factories formerly used shells
imported from India and Australia, but
latterly these have given way to the
clam shells found in the Mississippi
river, in the Rock river, Illinois and in
the Cedar river, Ia. From these shells,
which we're never before utilized a big
industry has arisen. The shells are
gathered in large quantities by wad-
ers. who receive from l to cents a
mound for them. Some of the speci-
mems are four inches across, and for
all practical purposes they are as good
as the imported article, save in depth
of coloring. The price paid for the
domestic shell is remarkably low as
compared with the cost of the i'm
ported shell, which sells in New York
for 40 or 80 cents a pound. Fifteen
pounds of buttons can be obtained
from 100 pounds of shells, and this
fact has led some of the Eastern manu-
facturers to establish button blank
factories in the West. The machinery
in these punches out the disk which
makes up the button. and the manu-
facturer escapes the payment Of
freight charges on 50 per cent of dead
material.

DIET FOR RHEUM ATISM.
Fruits, Grains and Nuts and Free Uso
of Water.

Unquestionably the most active
cause of rheumatism, as well as Of
migraine, sick headache, Bright's dis
ease. neurasthenia and n number of
other kindred diseases is the general
use of flesh food, tea and coffee and al
coholic liquors, says Good Health. AS
regards remedies, there are no medi-
cal agents which are of any permanent
value in the treatment of chronic
rheumatism. The disease can be rem
edied only by resimen-that is. by diet
and training. A simple dietary, con-
sisting of fruits, grains and nuts and
particularly the free use of fruits.
must be placed in the first rank among
the radical curative measures. Water,
If taken in abundance, is also means
of washing out the accumulated pois-
ons. An individual afflicted with rheu-
matism in any form should live, so far
as possible, an out-of-door life, TAX
ing daily a sufficient amount of eXer-
else to induce vigorous perspiration.
A cool morning sponge, followed by
vigorous rubbing, and a moist pack to
the joints most seriously affected, at
night, are measures which are worthy
of a faithful trial. Every person who
is suffering from this disease should
give the matter immediate attention, as
it is a malady which is progressive and
is one of the most potent causes of
premature old age and general physical
deterioration. American nervousness
is probably more often due to uric acid
or the poisons which it represents than
to any other one cause.

EPU,OGUE.

1t may be stated here that the incl
dents in this story are chiefly founded
upon facts. The following are the
facts:
In the year 1S- large sheep-owner
in the colony of Victoria engaged a
married couple for his station. which
was situated some hundreds of miles
from the coast, far up in the interior.
The man, who gave his name as Ed
ward Dent. proved sober and indus
trious fellow, and a smart man at his
work He was a capital plough-man,
amongst other qualifications, and took
several prizes for ploughing at neigh
boring contests. He was most agree

by all the other men on the place, be-
ing of lively disposition and first
rate concertina-player The latter ac-
complshment is much priced up in the
bush. where there is such a scarcity of
amusement.
His extraordinary affection for his
wife was particularly noticeable. He
would not allow her to do anything in
the way of manual labor, and after his

house and carrying up the next days

fact, doing all those little things which
most men out there generally leave
their wives to do.
Edward Dent and his wife remained
upon this station for nearly eight
years, but one day, much to his mas
ters annoyance, he gave notice to
leave. He wanted to better himself,
he said, and had an idea of trying the
gold mines for change.
For about eighteen months the gem
tleman in whose employment he had
been heard nothing of him. One day,
however. as he was strolling down Col
Inns street in Melbourne, he met Ed
ward Dent, and accosted him.
He noticed that he was dressed in the
deepest mourning.
81 am sorry" he remarked, "to see
you with these outward signs of grief
upon you, Edward. You have had
some loss?"
"Ay, sir" replied Edward-"these
black clothes very partially reflect the
grief within me. have lately lost my
wife"
Poor fellow" said his late master.
who knew how great his affection had
been for her. "And what have you
been doing of late?"

mines" he replied-"doing fairly well.
By-the-by, sir, you will be surprised to

years l have experienced. 1 am going

| In Victoria marriage with a deceased
wife's sister is Legal.
Some six months after this meeting
the gentleman received a message from
Edward to come and see him. He had
met with an accident. having fallen
from ladder in one of the mines, and
was an inmate of the Ballarat hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital the
gentleman found to his distress that he
was too late. Edward Dent was dead.
And now a fact transpired that quite
overwhelmed him with amazement.
The medical evidence went to prove
that the skilled laborer who for eight
years had worked upon his estate. and
who had undertaken the arduous toll
of gold-mining for the last two years.
