Making the Home Attractive

William Martin Johnson, author of
'Inside of a Hundred Homes" con-
tributes the first Of his new series on
1.-The House Practicap in the January
Ladies' Home Journal. In these articles
Mr.. johnson will explain how the
various rooms, Railways, etc, of a
house may be artistically furnished
and decorated at comparatively small
cost. The explanation is so clearly
detailed that, with the aid of the ac-
companying drawings, almost anyone
with taste may follow the instructions
given. The articles will show how the
interior of house may be transformed
from the commonplace into thing of
artistic beauty and coziness There is
no subject of such vital interest to
Americans as the Improvement Of the
home, and Mr.. Johnson's articles will
doubtless prove popular and useful as

OREGON MANS INVENTION.
Naval Board Experiments with n New
Explosive.

New York, July "a dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Important tests with thorite, new
high explosive, are being conducted by
the board of ordnance and Notifications
at the Sandy Hook proving grounds.
Little is known at the war department
of the characteristics of the new explo-
sive. 1t is the invention of Professor
futile, OF Oregon, who asserts it is per-
fectly safe, and was willing some
weeks ago to put a red-hot poker in a
charge OF thorite, declaring 1t could be
done without causing it to explode. 1t
is believed to have picric acid as its
base. Tests of the explosive by the
inventor are said to have been very sat
isfactory, and it may prove to be the
material the army has been seeking.
Besides thorite, the ordnance depart
ment of the army has been experiment.
ing with jovite, emmenste and dry
and wet guncotton, paying more atten-
iton to tie last named explosive than
to any other. So far none OF them has
given the results desired before adop-
tion for service use.
Captain William Crozier, military
attache of the American delegation to
The Hague conference, was instructed
several weeks ago to stop in Eng land
on his way home and sCeltain if possI-
BILE the ingredients of llddite and the
secret OF the fuse used by General kitch-
ner's army in the Soudan with such
excellent effect. 1t is untrue that he
has been directed to contract for any
quantity of the explosive.
Military officers in England have APP.
parently been unable to secure all the
information concerning the explosive
the authorities would like to have. 1t
is recalled that emmensite, discovered
in and used by France, was kept a Sc
cTet, but this government finally OBJ
tanned iniol nation of it's ingredients
and has been testing it for some years
at Sandy Hook.
Tests of jovite were made by the
army officials several years ago and
were not very successful. The navy
department has tested thorlte with con.
siderable success. and if it continues to
be satisfactory it may be adopted by
the naval service.

Another Diplomatic Crisis,

Washington, July 2.-The negotia.
tions in London looking to the arrange
ment OF a modus viyendi fixing the
Alaskan boundary, have again nearly
reached a crisis. the several confer
ences that have taken place recently
between Salisbury and Choate having
been dismally disappointing in results.
At moments it appeared the details
could be easily arranged. but it turns
out that those very details cannot be
agreed upon without the sacrifices OF
the interests OF many American min
els, mainly those who are driven out
of the Atin district by the severe and
discriminating Canadian laws.

Are Thrown Out.

Havana, July 3.-The citizens of
Matanzas protest against restoring the
cemetery to ecclesiastical authorizes.
1t is asserted by those who are particu-
larry active in their opposition that
the church. though always regarding
the cemetery as leading soucre of in

sums when renting graves for their

Brigadier- General Lee called upon
the encouragement today with regard
to future action against the thieves
who have recently created so much
trouble in the district Of Guanajay.
The prompt meauies already taken

there will be much more trouble there.
Nevertheless General Lee wishes to

The people in Havana are deeply in

They believe that if administered in

ROYALISTS IN HAVANA
Cuban General Wants to Be
King of the Islands.
DOES NOT LIKE AMERICAN RULE
Spanish Grandees and Others Drawn
Into the scheme by the Prom
Use of Titles.

Havana, July 5.-La Lucha pub
fishes a statement regarding matters
which it's conductors say they have been
investigating and carefully guarding
for several weeks, owing to the reti-
cence of those concerned and the de-
sire of the latter to avoid a premature
disclosure, leading to possible failure of
their plans. The paper SAYS:
Cuba. during the last few months,
has been a land OF many surprises.
The latest is the establishment of
rOyalist party. The new organization
is uuimportant at present, probably
numbering fewer than 90 members, but
a well-known Cuban general, who
claims to be descendant of CHARLIE
mango, is reported to he the head of
the party, and the meeting place is
usually the InglaterIa cafe. The Gu
ban general in question is said to he
dissatisfied with American rule. He
thinks that what Cuba needs is not Il
republic, but a strong hand at the helm
like his own. He is of the opinion
that the people of the Latin race pre-
fer royalty, and the possible honors
accruing under munarchical regime.
1.-The Cuban general referred to is
understood to deny that he is head Of
the party, but there is considerable
evidence that such movement is on
foot. He is the officer who was recent
~ reported to General Brooke for col
Letting 80 centimes from Spanish
merchant on the ground that it was an
assessment for fund devoted to driv-
ing out the interveners.'
General Ludlow has been made aware
Of his successful attempts to collect
money from gambling houses, under
threats to use his influence to have
them closed if the president of the Uni
ted States refused his demands. For
political reasons it has not been con-
sdered advisable, thus far, to proceed
against him, but he has been warned
to discontinue these practices, and it is
now understood that he is now much
more interested in making money than
in starting Il new party.
According to such other reports Of
this hombastic scheme as have leaked
out, the promoter has represented that
u
caldes to give the movement their sup
port by promising to make them dukes,
counts and barons 1t is also in the
plans to form a Cuban Legion of Hon
or. Several persons who affect to be-
lieve that such an attempt might sue
coed, say the outcome will depend
largely on the charm OF novelty with q
populace jndiciously prepared to en-
brace the ideas. The theory is that it
would be particularly acceptable to such
families as already have titles of Spain
and the Spaniards residing in Cuba,
who, owing to business or other con-
siderations, have been compelled to for
felt their patents OF nobility. Tie
promoters of the movement allege that
they expect financial assistance from
these sources. as the plan promises to
substitute equal dignities and position
for these that have been forfeited

About 8 O'Clock Mrs. Mary WEIGH, "a
widow, aobut 40 years of age, was found
unconscious in pasture in the edge
of town, with bruises upon her head
and face. as if she had been beaten
with club. A yearling steer. with
its throat cut, and in the agonies OF
death, was lying near her. Although
she has slightly regained consciousness
this morning, she cannot remember
how she was hurt, except that some
body struck her on the back of the
head. The grounds have been careful
ly examined, without developing any
solution of the mystery. The steer
bears mark and brand that are
strange to this section, and none of the
stockslippers report Il loss from their
herds or admit knowing the brand.

BISHOP JOHN S MICHAUD.
sketch Of the Man who Succeeds Rt. Rev.
Louis DeGoesbriand.


Rt. Rev. John S. Michaud is now bishop
of Burlington, succeeding the late RI Rev.
Louis De Goesbriand During his service
as coadjutor he has improved the church
in the diocese in many respects and un-
der his guidance as bishop prosperity will
continue. A sketch of his life will be of
interest at this time
John Stephen Michaud, bishop of Bur-
lington, succeeding the late RI Rev. Louis
De GocsbriaDd. was born in Burlington,
Nov. "A, 1913. His father Stephen Michaud
came from the parish of St. Andre in the
diocese of Quebec, p. O. in 1896. His
mother, Catherine Rogan, came in June
of the same year from her native place
Manorhamilton. County of Leitrim, Ire
land. They were married by Rev. Jere-
miah O'Csllaghan, July ii. 1871. MIR. Mi
chaud contracted typhus the ship fever,
while tending the Irish immigrants in 1s47
and died three weeks afterward. The
young mother sent John to the parochial
| school, which had been established in this
! city. When the Rt Rev. De Goesbriand
came to take possession of the diocese
young Michaud was ten years of age He
soon became a sanctuary boy
| He began his studies with the Sulpician
Fathers at Montreal college and finished
rhetoric and philosophy with the Jesuit
| Fathers at the college of the Holy Cross,
Worcester Mass. He entered st. Joseph S
Provincial Seminary of Troy n. Y, and
upon the completion of his theological
studies was ordained priest June T. 1873.
In September of the same year he vas
sent to Newport where there was no
