The TRLNSYAAL HUDDLE.
Great Britain Refuses to A,bitrate the
Question Of Suserainty in Tansvaal.

London, August ga parliamentary
paper, dealing with the Transvaal cri-
sis, was issued to-day. It details the
efforts made by the Boer government
during the past year to have the ques-
tion Of the suzerainty Of Great Britain
submitted to arbitration, and Great
Britain's repeated refusals to discuss
this basis point. The document adds
that Sir Alfred Miner, governor Of Cape
Colony and high commissioner Of South
Africa, writing Mr.. Chamberlain, Sec
retary Of state for the colonies, last
June said: 'aThe way in which the Sec
retary Of state juggles with the conven-
tion of 1884 is rather irritating to the
plain man." The final dispatch from
Chamberlain, dated July 1s, 1899, to Sir
Alfred Miner, concurs with the latter's
view as to the untenable Transvaal
contention, adding that the British gov
ernment had no intention to continue to
discuss the question Of suzerainty with
the Transvaal. /,

Three Conventions Of the Same Stripe

Omaha, Neb., August 22.-Three con-
ventions, Democratic, Populist and sill
yer Republican, were called to order
this afternoon in separate halls, all To-
Gated in one block. In the Democratic
convention W. H. Thompson, national
committeeman for Nebraska, was
named by Chairman Dahlman as tenn
porary chairman. Thompson's appear
ance was the signal for applause. The
Populist and the silver Republican con-
ventions are little slower in getting
together. The indications at this hour
point to the nomination Of Ex-Governor
Holcomb as candidate for supreme
Judge by the three conventions.

has been nearly $25,0OO,0 900 annually.

LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. I2,z331
al am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years had female troubles
and did nothing for them. Of course
/ became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and Inflammation of ovaries.
''I underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permis-
sion to go back to work. went back,
but in less than a week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone l felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.

now is How much better you loolxr and

DOMESTIC NOTES.
Odd Items of Information AbOuf
This, That and the other in
the Home.

The large globe artichokes which are
so popular on the continent and in the
Levant are found occasionally in the
large markets here. Epicures consider
the vegetable a dainty one, and at din
ner parties it is often given in the SEQ
ond course as separate vegetaDA&. 40
eat an artichoke, which resembles the
spike of a pineapple, take the larger
leaves singly in the fingers, and after
dipping the lower part into melted but
ter, convey them to the mouth and suck
off the soft portion of the scale. Be
meath the leaves comes the flower of the
artichoke, which resembles thistle
flower. This must not be eaten, but re-
moved, exposing to view the largest
part of the vegetable, which may then
be safely enjoyed.
The purpose of boiling clothes is to
expand the fabrics by steam, and thus
to loosen the dirt and let it drop out
This purpose may be accomplished
within half an hour after the water
first begins to bubble, and further cook
ing turns the clothes yellow. While the
clothes are boiling they should be
turned with a clothes stick but not
punched or lifted, so as to tear them.
AS soon as the clothes are taken out of
the boiler they should be plunged into
clear, cold water The second boiler
full of clothes should not be put into
the boiling dirty water, but have a
fresh suds for their own cleansing.
While the satisfaction of picking a
bone may be enjoyed when dining sn
famille, it is not considered good form
to do so at a formal dinner or luncheon.
Small birds like the reed birds and
quails are placed whole upon the plate:
The proper way to eat these is to cut
the meat from the breast and wings,
eating each piece as it is cut off. Half
a SQUAD is usually given, and of that
there is generally enough on the breast
and wing to satisfy one. If the legs are
eaten, the meat should be cut off as
from the breast.
If tss@ steel of the range is rusted, rub
well win sweet oil and let it remain
for two days. Then rub with finely
powdered unslaked lime until the rust
disappears. Clean the nickel plate of
the stove with soda and ammonia, using
woolen cloth. Polish with clean,
dry one. Ovens should be kept free
from dust and dirt by frequent brush
ings, and wiping out with damp cloth
while the fire is slow.
After washing lamp chimneys or
globes it is an excellent plan to stand
them in the sunshine or in warm
place, to insure their being absolutely
dry before using. Lamp chimneys
should not be washed any oftener than
necessary, and if they are properly
wiped and polished every day, washing
will be quite Washington
Star.

A KEYLESS LOCK.
The Latest and Most Acceptable In

Office Boxes

There is more than 100000 of the
peoples money locked up in post Of
flee keys, each and every key-holder t,e-

master deposit for his key, the amount
deposited being returned when the box
is given up and rent paid, saws the
Washington Times. Postmasters are
required to keep a strict account of the
key-deposit fund, while the post office
department here has a regular division
set apart for keeping this account As
a postal official puts it, there is great
deal of trouble and no money in the
transactions, and the final outcome of
the trial of the keyless locks which are
to be tried in the principal offices of the
country is eagerly looked for. The de-
partment has long wanted a keyless
lock, but none of the lock inventions
until the present was regarded as in any
way calculated to prove acceptable.
Contracts have been made for supply
of the new locks, which will first be

which Is ransacklng the state of New ,Ter-

buying a retrlgeratlng machine and using
real blocks of ice in the scene in which Eliza
pursued by pack of barking mongrels
crosses the river carrying in her arms a
stuffed doll.
The icemaking machine has proved an
enormous success. At the Ridgewood opera
house, where the ice machine PLAYED few
evenings ago, a frantic crowd fought its way
through the doors. At the first perform
ances the ice machine was kept in the back
ground. Several cakes were manufactured
before the performance and placed on the
green baize river. They were carefully sand

turn undignifed somersaults. The ice ma
chine, however, had been so largely adver-
tised that yokels wanted to see it. They
sat in their places after the curtain de-
scendtd upon the solemn death of Little
Eva and howled for the ice machine to come
out and show itself. The stage manager
and a couple of deck hands had to carry it
down to the footlights. Then they turned
the handle and, amid uproarous applause,
the machine produced cake of real ice.
Since then a part has been written IN the
play for the ice machine. When the river
scene opens couple of southern speculators
are discovered experimenting with the
machine. They produce their. ice, and not

PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR.
Notes About What Is Popular with
the Ladies in Fall
Costumes.

Those in the cloak and suit trade who
cater to exclusive patronage report
many inquiries for stone marten, fox
and mink trimmed wraps.
There is a great and growing demand
for fancy lace and embroidered goods.
Something new in leather goods is a
convenient pocketbook for carrying a
handkerchief without risk of losing or
soiling. This purse comes in all kinds
of feathers, and is made with the slotted
frame that admits handkerchiefs with
out increasing the bulk of the book.
In the new ribbons the most sedate
colorings are noticeable, the light
shades being more the exception than
the rule. In sash widths many novelties
are seen in Persian effects. Checks in
two colors, one for the ground and one
for the stripe which form the check, are
also liked. The most interesting news
in ribbons is the talk about the forma-
ton of a ribbon trust in the near fu-
ture.
In velvets black is the best selling
shade, but reds, new blues, heliotropes,
belges, browns, caStors and old rose
are also in demand.
There are indications that surah will
again be fashionable fabric for waists
and trimmings, and surah ribbon for
millinery. Taffeta, satin duchesse and
peau de sole continue in favor.
The tendency in dress goods for this
winter is toward plain woolen fabrics.
Mems wear suitings are being much
used for women's suits. The vogue for
mannish street costumes is partially re-
sponsible for this.
Animal effects in belt clasps, neck and
trimming buckles are among the most
recently displayed novelties. Dogs
and horses heads, snakes and lizards
are the most prominent.
Plain, medium-sized chatelaine bags
of seal and alligator are much used.
The separate waist is not yet of the
past, and will continue to hold its own
throughout the fall Taffetas and satin
faced goods are still in great demand

TEACHING YOUNG TO SWIM.
Interesting Description of How a
Mother Muskrat Gave Lessons
to Her Offspring,

That sensible portion of the animal
kingdom which naturalists are wont to
term the ''brute creation" has won
derful aptitude for encouraging close
acquaintance with those whom it
trusts. Were it not for terror, inherited
through generations of abused con-
fdence and malicious cruelty, the timid
thrush would proudly lead us to the
sylvan paradise, where she has hidden
her birdlings, and the coy doe would
bring to us her trembling offspring,
that we might stroke its spotted side,
says Forest and Stream.
At the pool our attention was at
tracted by a comical picture made by
an old muskrat trying to teach her
babies to swim. 1t struck us as strange
that she should go to such trouble,
the little rats should have known in
stinctively how to navigate, but they
clung to the bank and to shallow wa
ter, above which arose their fluffy
backs, bright eyes and sharp noses.

The mother set them the example by
swimming across and back. She en-
deavored to coax, and finally she pushed
them over their depth and let them
make their own way to the shore,
though, you may be sure, she stayed
close by them. When we were seen
the old lady shrieked ''Tramps!" in
characteristic muskrat- language and
fled to her subaquatic vestibule, l sup
pose to call the police. The little ones
did not attempt to escape. Ostrich-like,
they hid their heads among the roots
and left their naked tails waving above

they received their first lesson in mis-

Pleasure from Pain.

That there is a spiritual profit in the
discipline of pain and difficulty, if it is
rightly borne, is truth that is general
ly accepted; but from pain and Difficult
ty there comes not only profit, but
pleasure also. Work, conflict, privation,
disappointment = all are necessary to
our highest pleasure. A life without
pain, uncertainty, toll, would not be
worth the living; we should get intoler.
ably tired of it. The most miserable OF
people are those who have sufficient
means to live without toll and who
choose to do so, and, to a very large ex
tent, avoid everything that calls for self
denial and endurance. Here on earth a
measure Of hardship is essential to hap.
piness. and we have no doubt that there
will be opportunity for self-sacrific,
and effort even in Heaven.-Northerr

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
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 Eustachian Tube When
this tube gets inhamed you have rumbling
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-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
