AWKWARD FOR DAVIS.

The statement by an employe of the patent office, while Webster Davis was looking after it's affairs as assistant secretary of the interior, to the effect that Mr. Davis quietly carried on an enlistment bureau for the Boers is so circumstantial and direct that it re- quires the immediate attention of MT Davis.
 The patent office emp,oye, who was under the orders of the assistant sec retary, was. like his chief. a Boer sym pathizsr The statement is that the employe, by Mr. Davis direction. twice inserted in the Washington papers an advertisement prepared by Davis for able bodied men, with military eXperi- ence, to go to the TransVdal. Applica- ton was made to the patent office en- plOye at his private address. It is as serted that 36,000 letters were received and turned over to MT. Davis, in addi- tion to which applicants poured in up on the emplOye at the patent office to such an extent that the secretary of the interior put a stop to it. The emp,oye lost his place, though he says he went out to continue the business of recruit ing under the direction of Davis, and he believes that the latter was well paid by the Boer government for his services.
 But this charge of violating the duties of neutrality, and while holding official position under the United States gov ernmlnt at that. is not the only one calculated to trouble MT. Davis. It can be stated on high authority that during the four months Mir. Davis was absent in South Africa his representatives in Washington drew from the United States government about $1.4OO, not a dollar of which he has offered to repay. though the time represented by such payment was employed by him in ac- Cumulating materials for attacking the government upon his return. Mr Da- wis asked for leave of absence on the ground that he was suffering from ner- vous prostrat ation.

HER BROTHER INSPIRED IT.

Louisa Magruder. a colored woman of 92 years, who died yesterday at her home. was a sister to the man that furnished much of the material for Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stoves Uncle Toms Cabin," for it was at his home that Mrs. Stowe was frequent visitor and took notes for the story that made her famous.
 Louisa was born slave in Ken lucky on the plantation of Thomas No ble, the father of Governor Noah Noble of Indiana. Her brother Thomas. claimed to be the original Uncle Tom, '' was also born on the same plantation and was never sold in slavery. It is in this fact, that he had but one mas ter and that a kind one, that his his tory differs from that of the Uncle Ton of the story.
 Louisa was sent to Lawrenceburg, Ind, to live with Thomas NOble's sis . ter Lavina, who was Mrs. Arthur St. Clair Vance. Mrs. Stowe even used the names of the members of the Noble family in her story. Louisa was a gen. eral servant and took care of the chil- dren. Noah Noble, a son of Thomas Noble of Kentucky, was made governor of Indiana and his father sent to this city to Governor Noble, Louisa, Tom and his wife, Sarah, and Cuff. another brother. Governor Noble owned all of the east end of what is now Indianapo- lis, from Washington street north. and he gave to this colored family little cabin on one corner of the farm. Here Uncle Tom and his wife lived and died Mrs. StOwe's brother. Henry Ward Beecher, and his family, lived in this city, having come from Lawrenceburg. Harriet Beecher Stowe spent much time here. She learned of Uncle Toms family and visited it in the cabin on the Noble farm.
 Mrs. Stowe frequently talked with members of the colored family. and particularly with Tom. She used his name as the subject for her story. and she used incidents related by him to round out her various characters.
 For the last fourteen years Aunt Louisa had been paralyzed and had been patiently cared for by her daugh- ter Martha. It is said that in all that long time Aunt Louisa never uttered an impatient word. Uncle Tom and his wife, Sarah. Nose and Cuff were buried in the Noble lot in the old Greenlawn cemetery. The burial of Aunt Louisa will be by the family of Governor Noble in the Davidson lot in Crown Hill.- Indianapolis Press.

GAVE A FORTUNE IN TIPS.

Last Saturday Mr. M. Kinnie of Colo rado Springs secured a special train. He took with him a party of sixty eight people, including a number of mining brokers. the objective of the trip being to examine mines at Villa Grove, beyond Salida. The buffet car was heaped With the finest Gelicac:es of the season, while wines and cigars of the most expensive brand were stored away by the barrel and box.
 From the very first, Mir Kinnie eX- hibited a desire to treat" the crew. He gave each of the brakeman $10 The porter of the buffet was given $25. The train conductor was given S25. The Pullman conductor was given $50. There were others remembered. but none of them with less than $lO. while Jesse Gordon. the Pullman conductor, was given a $2o and a $1O bill Between Denver and Salida, a number of tIamps and walking delegates of the tomato can order skulked about the train at watering tanks. MT. Kinnie promptly brought them inside, gave them all the delicacies they could eat. crammed money in their pockets and gave thzm as long a ride as they wished The tram DelnS nlS, ne could do as he pleased with it. At SaIida the crew was changed, and every new man was given $10 bill-all this on general principles, and not for any special ia Vor shown the party. But there were no defects in the service after the tip ping. by long ways. The good things in the buffet car were exhausted long before the trip ended. and the porter was sent out with $100 bill to get something more. Cigars costing two or three for a quarter were thrown about like peanut shells. Champagne corks fell like hail stones. The sixty eight people were treated like princes. In fact, MT. Kinnie's total bill for that trip of a day and a night amounted, 1t is said, to something like s4,OOO.-Den- Yer News

SAVE THE CALIFORNIA TREES.

The recent report of the department of agriculture. calling attention to the rapid destruction of the groves of great trees which have been one of the glo- ries of California, points to the need of checking the activities of the relentless woodman and his aX. In spite of leGis- lation, little enough has been done for the preservation of American forests, and in the case of the big trees of Cali fornia there is absolutely nothing to prevent the thrifty wood cutter from enriching himself by the felling of trees which in their age and magniticepce

A CHALLENGE TO MIR. BRYAN

President McKinley's letter accepting the republican nomination is a docu- ment which places the democratic can didate under obligations to stop phrase making and sOberly tell what MT. Me kinley could have done. what he him self would have done had he occupied the executive chair, to avoid the pres ent situation in the Philippines and save the country from the menace of Imperialism about which he is so much concerned. The president gives all the attention to his paramount issue that he could ask, and gives it in the form of a careful review of events from the beginning of the war with Spain. show ing convincingly how every step of the government of necessity followed from what has gone before, and how impos- sible it was for any administration re- gardful of national honor and foreign and domestic obligation to do anything different from what was done.-New York Tribune.

 especially if the commander of the vessel on which he sails is inclined to invoke his flag as protection for the distinguished passenger. So it is to be expected that England's endeavors will not avail. and that loom Paul. will soon appear on the continent, to recu- perate in health and probably to sound the depth of European sympathy for his cause.

The owners of concessions in the Paris exposition grounds, who have lost such immense sums of money since the show opened, are trying their best to get out of a bad bargain. None of them have paid the second installment Of their rentals and they do not pro- pose to, if they can help it. All the restaurant keepers have now appealed to the government to cancel the charge. urging, among other things, that the low price of tickets of admission to the exposition has resulted in bringing in class of people too poor to spend any money, who carry their lunches and dinners in baskets, and eat on the grounds. There's a good deal of truth in that plea for abatement.

A SUBURBAN BURGLAR ALARM.

There had been an unusual number of petty roberies in one of the suburban towns, and the men on the ircOminS train were talking about the matter. There were the usual expressions of opirion that there should be more con- stables or wftchmen, and the williams ought to be hanged, and that the people should take the law into their own hands
 That's all very we'll said one man, but it happens that no one knows he was robbed until the next morning. with the exception of two or three cases where noises Were heard, and then those who heard them were afraid to investigate
 That is cowardly,' said another su- burbanite.
 No. it isn't replied the first speaker. It's only natural. I would rather have the fellow carry off my house than 70 run up against the cold muzzle of a pistol"
 Do you mean to say that we must tamely submit to these outrages?" de- man1ed q tall ttin man, excitedly.
 Not by any means. We ought to arm ourselves and have a concerted scheme of action. One of the articles of defense that every householder should have is a horn.'
 Whats the good of a hCrn?" asked two or three at Cnce. Hit 'em with it?"
 Finest alarm in the world. A rattle is no use at all, pistols are out of the question with amateurs, and there is no use shouting out of the window, be- cause the lone policeman will either not hear you or think it is a party going home hilarious But you try a horn one Of those Christmas or masquerade affairs about two feet long that make a hoarse roar like a mad bull. In the sisillnes of the night the effect would be to wake the town, and when the sound was heard it would be the signal for ev- cry man to rush out in the street with any weapon he had handy. Oh, you needn't be afraid the thieves would wait to ask what was up. They are not courtinS publicity, and at the first note they would streak 1t. And if the police man was to near it he would awake and know just exactly what had hap Psned and be on the lookout. Oh. its a great scheme. What do you say if we call a meeting a the town hall and talk it overlooking Tribune.

AMERICAN LIBRARY IN MANILA

"Tnere Is not an hour, day or even ing, when the rooms of the American library in Manila are open that they are not crowded with men who are reading or playing games,' recently wrote Mrs. Greenleaf, wife of Colonel Charles R. Greenleaf, from the Philip pine islands.
 The library at present numbers 10000 books and 10000 magazines. A nomi- nal charge of twenty-five cents a month is made for the privilege of talk ing out books. There are 300 members. Many books which have been received in a condition too unsubstantial for li- brary wear have been sent to the hos pitals and outlying posts.
 The organization of the library is the fulillment of the plan of the late Lieutenant Colonel James D. Miley of the United States volunteers, and it's success is due largely to the energetic work of the women who undertook to forward and maintain it.
 Before Mrs. Greenleaf left San Fran cisco for Manila she promised to take up the work which Col. Miley had planned. She called several meetings at her rooms and a committee was formed. the executive place being held by Miss Anna Beaver. The San Fran cisco Red Cross assumed the responsi- bility of handling and shipping all books collected for the purpose. The library is in charge of Mrs. Egbert. widow of Col. Egbert. of the United States volunteers. Mrs. I LOwenburg is chairman of the library committee and has charge of the office in San Francisco. The headquarters of the organization is in Manila.
 Packages of books, magazines or money from this city can be sent to Major Putnam Bradlee Strong. in care of the International express company, which will forward them direct tO Ma nila. IL is probable that all books col lected through Major Strong's influ- ence will be made the Miley memorial collection, as Major Strong and Lient.- Col Miley were close personal friends. Other memorial books are already in place, among which are books given by Mrs. Guy Howard in memory of her husband. a number of valuable ones for the history section by Mrs. Egbert, in the name of her husband.
 All that has been accomplished so far IS due to personal work and public mo- tices and circulars which have stimu- lated voluntary contributions.
 Prof. Moses of the Philippine com mission goes even further than Col Miley, who contended that the soldiers in the Philippines needed nothing so much as plenty of good reading matter and a place to meet. Prof. Moses be- iieves that the library should be con sldered a part of the work of the com mission.
 A step toward making the library q part of the government machinery was the recent action of the secretary of war in ordering an appropriation of 5000 for the library from the revenue of the islands.
 Current numbers of newspapers di- rect from various publication offices are particularly desired.-New York Tri- bune.

 CROW. against the great demo- crat, Andrew Jackson It is a very old bogy and was repeat edly trotted out against our greatest presidents. It was hollow and false cry.
 A poster used in President Andrew Jackson's second campaign has been unearthed. It represents President Jackson in royal robes. crowned and sceptered, standing at the foot of a throne, the constitution torn to shreds under his feet.
 Beneath the picture is inscribed: King Andrew the First; born to com mand." The remainder of the poster attacks the great democratic president thus:
 "A king who, possessing as much power as his gracious brother, William ", makes a worse use of it.
 "A king who has placed himself above the laws, as he has shown by his contempt of our judges.
 "A king who would destroy our cur rency, and substitute old rags, payable by no one knows who, and no one knows where, instead of good silver dollars.
 "A king to command, as ke has shown himself by appointing men to office contrary to the will of the peo- pie.
 "A king, who, while he was feeding his favorites out of the public money, denied pittance to the old soldiers who fought and 'bled for our independ- ence
 "A king whose prime minister and heir apparent was thought unfit for the office of ambassador by the people"
 In large letters beneath this were printed the words; Shall he reign over us, or shall the people rule?" All this applied to Jackson was just as child ish and absurd as the charge of i'm perialism" applied to Mckinley.

TOO MUCH SAIL.

A somewhat cantankerous old farm CT, who lived in a small village in Shropshire. took to himself a young wife. After the union, however, the parties did not seem to agree as well as might have been expected.
 One day after an altercation, in which the wife had the worst of it, the vicar of the parish, happening to meet the old man, rebuked him for his harshness, reminding him that the wife was the weaker vessel"
 Well, sir was the dogged rejoinder, If she be the weaker vessel she didn't t ought ter carry so much sail. l."-London Spare Moments.

are not equaled anywhere in the world. That tree should grow for many cen turies, living evidence of the great ness of the vital forces in nature, only to be hacked down by the first thrifty person who may want to gather in few dollars, seems a pity. If the destruction is objectionable for senti- mental reasons, it is equally objection able as depriving future generations of feature of natural beauty. It would seem that the federal government and the state authorities of California with propriety might take joint action in this matter to save at least the greatest of these natural curiosities.-Chicago Record.

The alarmists are still trying to per
 have the republic over STOP THESE thrown and an empire COMPARE set up in it's place. "EX-
 SONS. perience has shown"
 says one of them, that the change from democracy to imperi- alism is often a gradual and slow pro- cess. Napoleon would never have made himself first consul and emperor of for him. Rome still preserved the empty forms of republican government when the emperor consulted the senate about a no more important matter than a new sauce for turbot."
 Why will sensible men compare this country to France and Rome? If the people of the United States were Ro- mans, if they were the same sort of people as inhabited France in the days of Napoleon, there would indeed be great danger of imperialism and mon archy and all that. But the great body polite of this country is democratic in it's sense. The people of this country believe in the republic and in republi- can institutions, and the people rule. The great democracy of the country is the conserving force, and So long as that is true the republic is in no danger. We are not Romans and Frenchmen, but free and independent Americans.
