Miss Electra was little woman who
had lived for so years in a tidy white
house in the center of the village, d.
yiding her time between her simple
housekeeping and kind deeds. Her
manners were so gentle that strong
minded people said they did wish
Miss Electra had little more force
of character" but many people never
made any such critical remark, says
Youths Companion.

ANEsTHETIc REVELATION.
The Queer Experience of a New
Orleans Doctor Who Resorted
to SOpOrifics.

''Some of the queerest experiences
of doctor are pretty certain to be
connected with the administration of
anaesthetics," said a New Orleans
physician, chatting the other day with
a New Orleans Times-Democrat man,
land apropos of the subject recall
q little story that don't mind telling,
as the incident occurred long since and
in another city. A dozen years ago
when was temporarily located in ST.
Louis, was called one day to the old
Mindell hotel to give chloroform to a
young woman who was about to I'M
dergo slight surgical operation to
remove a morbid growth in the ear.
The patient, as it developed on my ar
rival, had been married only few
days before, and was in the city with
her husband on their bridal tour. AL
though quite handsome she was no
longer exactly in her first youth, and
she was very much averse to having her
husband present at the operation.
However, he insisted, and she finally
agreed that he should stay, but ! no.
,ticed that she seemed very nervous and
preoccupied. The operation, as said
before, was trifiing. She took the
chloroform easily, and all went well
until she was just regaining conscious
ness, when she opened her mouth and
out fell set of false teeth. She had
said nothing about that detail, and the
truth was that she had hoped. poor
woman! to pass through the ordeal
without the fact of her wearing such
things being known to her husband.
But the effect on that individual was
entirely unexpected. He gave one hor-
rified glance and then rushed at the old
surgeon and seized him by the throat
You infamous scoundrel!' he yelled.
you have broken my poor darling's
jaw!' AT that stage of affairs beat a
retreat. never did learn exactly what
the husband thought had happened or
what sort of explanation was offered"

spAIN's COLONY IN AFRICA.
She Is Trying st Last to Turn the Rio
de Gro Province to Good
Account.

Now that Spain has lost all her large
colonies, she is doing all she can and
encouraging every effort on the part of
her people to develop the small colo
NAL possessions still remaining to her,
particularly in Africa, says the New
York Sun. Spain's largest possession
in Africa Is the district of Rio de Orc,
south of Morocco. 1t fronts on the At
lantic between Capes Bojador and
Blanco for about 500 miles, and ex-
tends inland from 420 miles in the
north to GOO miles in the south. This
territory is about one-twelfth as large
as the United States, but inland it is
mostly sand. and development is pos
sible on an important scale only in the
coast regions, unless minerals may be
found in the interior.
SPANS ambition is to make the most
of the fertile strip along the coast,
developing plantations to supply Spain
with n variety of tropical products and
establishing trading posts for goods of
Spanish origin, which may be ex-
changed with the natives for their gold
dust and ostrich feathers. Induce
ments. therefore, are being offered to
considerable number of farmers and
traders to go to this new region and
make 1t worth something to the home
country.
A mineral survey of the region is now
under way. 1t is quite certain TINT in
some parts considerable gold may be
obtained, particularly along the Rio
de Orc. The Spaniards will also en-
deayor, unless France too strenuously
opposes the idea, to divert some of the
trade from Timbuctoo to their port on
the coast and thus establish direct
trade relations with the fertile Sou
dan. Up to this time Spain had en-
tirely neglected this great possession
in Africa and it is scarcely probable
that its development would now have
been undertaken if Spain still had, her
former large colonial interests to alb
sorb her attention.

Austin Texas, Sept. 15.-Governor Say
ers last night received the following Off
cial report from Mayor Jones of Calves
ton as to conditions there:
Galveston Texas, Sept. IA.
"Hon Joseph d. Sayers, Governor:
after the fullest possible investigation
here we feel justified in saying to you
and through you to the American people
that no similar disaster has oyertaken
any community or section in the history
of our country. The loss of life is APP
palling and never can be accurately de-
termined. II is estimated at from 5000
to 5000 people. There is not a home in
Galveston that has not been injured, while
thousands have been destroyed. The prop
erty loss represents accumulations of six
ty years and more millions than can be
safely stated. Under these conditions
with 10000 people homeless and destitute
with the entire population under a stress
and strain difficult to realize. we appeal
directly in the hour of our great emer-
gency to the sympathy and aid of man
kind.

Germanys Decision With Regard to Teacher
Gus Chinese Authorities

Berlin, September, 15.-The Chinese sit
uation is here deemed highly unsatis-
factory and most complicated, though no
sensational events are Immediately ex-
pected and isolated action upon the part of
any one power is not anticipated. Accord
ing to the opinion here all the interested
powers are too firmly convinced of the
Importance of continued harmony and
solidarity to jeopardize them when no nee
essity calls for it. 1t is not expected in
Berlin that either Russia or France Will
withdraw their troops hurredly from
Pekin, and it is believed the United States
will not be in any greater hurry. Infor-
nation has reached this city that Russia,
in any event, will keep large bodies of
troops in China, not only in the frontier
provinces of Mongolia, Manchuria and
Kirin, but also in the interior and the
coast districts of Pc Chi Lii The militia
ry commanders OF the allied forces have
agreed that under any circumstances it is
necessary to strengthen the tactical posi-
tion of the international troops in Pc Chi
Ii. Russia, too. will finish the railroad
from Yang Tu to Pekin.
Regarding Germany's attitude, she will
in any case insist on severe punishment
being inflicted on the treacherous Chinese
authorities to which purpose the confess
sion of Baron Won Ketteler's assassin
came opportunity.
Germany will not accept General Yung
Lu as a peace negotiator, if the charges
made against Yung Lu that he led the
attacks against the Pekin Legations are
proved But Germany, though her Foreign
Office insists on the principle of severe
punishment, does not oppose peace with
China, as shown yesterday by DR.. Mumm

The German papers are filed with mail
correspondence from China, mostly de-
scribing in detail events until shortly be-

ters agree in saying that Germany was
the only power not permitting looting and
maintaining the strictest discipline among
her troops.

CONFERENCE OF THE POWERS.
This May be Found Necessary to Deal With
the Chinese Question

Copyright 1900 by the Associated Press.)
Paris, Sept 15.-The unsatisfactory con-
dition of the cipher messages which reach
the powers from their representatives in
China. especially at Pekin has brought
forward prominently the suggestion of an
international conference at some Euro
pean capital. point which gives addi-
tional weight to the plan is appreciation
of the difficulty of reaching amicable re-
suits among the ministers at Pekin, many
of whom have been antagonistic in their
policies during their stay there during the
last few years. Could they obtain direct
and quick communication with the home
