During the year. 1850 the Society not

million more. Out of an income OF about
dfty-four millions, it paid more than
eighteen millions to the benet.c:artes ~

OF profits to living policy-hoiders. all ex-.

Promoter of Alice in Wonderland
Feared Attachment Suit.

After the fall of the curtain on the
last act of alice in Wonderland" at the
Grand opera house Saturday afternoon
there was a small storm behind the
scenes.
The storm burst when Mrs. NJ. W.
Usher, who had drilled the chorus let
loose a flood of tears upon being refused
payment for a certain amount of extra
work she had been to the trouble to do
in teaching the little ones in the chorus.
When the advance agent for Alice in
Wonderland came to Topeka, over a.
month ago and selected the children to
take the parts in the operetta, an ar
rangement was made with Mrs. Usher
to drill the chorus for a certain length
of time for which she was to receive the
sum of IS.
When Miss Leonard. who is in private
life Mrs John F. Bragg, arrived in the
city, Mrs. Usher asked if she should
continue to teach the children. but Mrs.
Bragg refused to pay for the extra work.
Mrs. Bragg, fearing that attachment
papers would be issued, began packing
the costumes into their crates helter-

AMONG COLORED MEN.
Special Work of the American Mis-
sionarY Association.

SlOudrY ASSOC1aJ1Ou.
New York. Dec. 1.-THE American Mis-
sionary association has received a re-
port concerning special work among col
ored young men based on Investigations
by Secretary J. E. Moreland, of Wash
ington. There are two main lines of work:
the work among students and that among
young men in cities. Much emphasis is
placed upon Bible study and personal
work among the students Many Of the
reviValS in colleges for cOlored students
are said to have the beginning in the
young mems meetings.
There are 81 associations in the schools
and 40 or 30 more schools should be or
ganized. The first substantial effort
made among the colored young men in
city work was at Norfolk Va, in 1888.
This work is more difficult than the stu
dent work In most of the cities, especial
" southern there is no respectable place,
outside of home and church, for a cOl0red
young man to probably spend his even
ings. There is a secretary giving his en-
tire time at each of the following places:
New H wen, Conn, Baltimore, Norfolk,
Va, Richmond Va. Louisville, KY, and
Springfield, o. The associations own are
in possession OF property aggregating $780,
900 in value. An important feature of
work is the conferences held each year
where delegates are assembled from each
association. Methods in Bible study and
of association work are discussed. This
movement IS one of the departments Of
the Y NJ c. A., is INSTRUMENTATION
and IS believed to be specially fitted to
do great good among colored people.

HIS WIFE NOT INSANE.
How a Norton County Man Got so
Cents a Day From the State.

For fourteen years the state of Kan
sas has been paying a. Norton county
man 50 cents a day for taking care of his
insane wife. When the woman was adj
Judged insane there was no room for
her in the asylum, and by an arrange
ment authorized by law for the care of
insane persons the local authorities gave
her into the keeping of her husband as
q charge upon the state. There are
many cases of this kind in the state,
and the quarterly drafts for mainte-
nance coming in so regularly, George E
Cole. the auditor of state, recently sug
gested to the state board of charities
that all these patients be sent for to be
cared for in future in the asylums- The
first response came from the Norton
county husband. whose wife refused to
obey. An inquiry was ordered, which
revealed that the wOnan's insanity was
soon over, and that for years she has
been keeping house for her husband,
who all the time has been putting in
quarterly claims of 80 cents a day OF
course she has been dropped from the
pay roll since the discovery of the fraud
Mr.. Cole says the Norton county case
is the most fragrant on the list, but that
others of similar character have been
imposed on the state.

CEREAL CROPS OF RUSSIA.
IFrom the New York SUM-


With the return of normal conditions
of traffic on the western section of the
Siberian railway and a suficiency of
rolling stock to meet the growing wants
of the trade, Russia threatens to be-
come a formidable competitor of this
country in the British and European
markets in regard to a great variety OF
agricultural products
Already Russian butter from beyond
the Ural mountains is finding its way
into the English market and, according
to a report form the British consul at
Riga arrangements are being made for
the quick transportation of butter from
western Siberia to connect with the
steamship service from Riga to London
and Hull From the port of Libau on
the Baltic to the south of Riga there
We're exported last year II, S55, GAO eggs,
as against 59.377, 696 in 1898, and the eX-
port of butter from the same port rose
from 275 tons in 1898 to 700 tons in 1899
As vet the export of meat from north
ern and eastern Russia has not begun,
nor is it to be expected from western
Siberia until the population has IN
creased and the agricultural develop
ment of the country has become more
advanced. The population, however, IS
growing rapidly, the immigrants from
European Russia having exceeded $780,
600 in the last two seasons, and great
attention is now given to cattle raising.
The passenger and freight rates are
possible point for the purpose Of slim
ulating traffic.
Hitherto the export trade in grain and
meat from Russia has been almost en-
tirely confined to the south, the grain
and cattle being shipped at Black sea
ports and finding their way to the Med
iterranean and western Europe by the
Bosporus and Dardanelles. A certain
quantity also crosses the western from
tier into Germany, but the tariff restrlc-
lions imposed at the instance of the
agrarian party in Germany interfere
materially with the development Of the
trade.
1t is to afford other outlets for the
produce of northern Russia that the
Russian government has taken up the
question of opening a direct trade with
England and western Europe by sea.
and has ordered the construction Of
large steamers specially adapted to the
purpose Unless, therefore, events prove
unpropitious we shall soon see Russia
entering the lists as an active COM
petitor with the other countries export
ing foodstuffs and farm produce with an
organized system for the handling Of the
produce from the time it IS put into the
station on a railway line until it is
landed at the place of import.
