Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt.

Writing Of 1.-THE Personality of Mrs.
Roosevelt" in the Ladies' Home Journal,
Edward Box asserts that ait is high time
some OF our women should learn that
woman may be respected and loved for
the things she does not do, as often as she
Is for the things she does do"
"Hundreds of thousands of men and
women respect Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt
to-day because she has chosen to keep her
personality In the background, and re-
fused to stand in the glare OF publicity.
She has no place there, and she knows it..
By her attitude she has won a warm place
In the affections of American women, and
in the respect Of American men. Yet she
might shine, instead of keeping in re-
tirement, il she SO chose, as every one
who knows her will at once concede. She
has simply chosen to be q wife, a mother
and woman, and not q publicist. She
has elected to give the benefit OF Ii r
talents and gifts to her husband, her chi :
dren and her friends, rather than to sociei y
in its promiscuous sense. She has he
work to do in the world, but she does moi
believe that work to be Of a public nature.
She is content to leave that to her hus-
band. She remains in the home, and one
need only to hear Theodore Roosevelt
speak of that home to discern at once how
strong upon him has been the influence
which has radiated therefrom."

THE MARKET coRNERED.
November Corn Reached Fifty Cents
i. Monday at Chicago and Closed
at FOrty-Nine CeDts.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-NovRmber corn
touched so cents Monday. 1t made
an advance of 5 cents for the day, of
10. cents a bushel for the week and of
almost Is cents within four weeks.
Young Mr.. Phillips sold what corn
changed hands at that poiVt; shorts
did the buying that advanced the
market to the 5O-cent quotation.
The scent advance over the close
of last week made the day the no
table one so far for the campaign.
A roar and cheer gave notice of the
half-dollar achievement, and there
was a focl1ing toward the already
overcrowded corn pit from all over
the floor.
The tiptop figure was made in the
first hour. November, starting at 46
cents, sold between 46 and so cents
and closed at 40 cents. The slight
final recession was, like the others
which have been experienced, brought
about by selling by the bull leaders.
The man with the corner in the hol-
low of his hand is apparently not
ready to let it get away from him.
He has watched the speculative ca
reers of other men with corners, and
believes that most of them lost bc
cause of their greed to eXtort the last
penny. All the morning the little
corn king stood on the edge of the
pit and watched the ebb and flow of
the battle. Whenever the clamorous
shorts" howled up the price in the
face of unTesponsive takers, he push
ed to the front of the line and let
out more corn.

HEAVY RAINFALL.
As a Consequence the Entire Ohio
Valley Will Probably Be Flooded
The River Rising Rapidly.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 28.-The flood
here was the result of a general fall
of rain, averaging two inches, over
the watersheds of the Allegheny and
Monongahela valleys. This rain fol-
lowed an average of three inches pre-
eipitation which fell last week. If
this rain had fallen during the months
of January, February or March, Pitts
burgh would have been visited by the
worst food in it's history, and the
Hood of 1884 would have, no doubt,
been passed by several feet.
The entire Ohio valley will proba-
bly, now be flooded, as the reports
show that the Ohio has risen rapidly
at many places.
The cleaning-up process was com
menced Wednesday, and it will be
Friday or Saturday before the flooded
districts are put in normal condi-
ton. The health boards of the two
cities have taken a hand in the clear
ing of mud and debris from the resi-
dence districts, and, 20 avoid sickness
or pestilence, disinfectants will be or
dered placed in the cellars of all
houses where the water has made it's
appearance

WEST VIRGINIA FLOOD.
ParlzersburE Are AIarming-The
Little Kanawha Stationary.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Nov. U.s.
While so far there is not much danger
of this CITY experiencing a flood, the
conditions of the river above this city
are alarming. All day Tuesday inquir-
les have been made concerning the
stage expected here and the reports
sent out by the bureaus of informa-
ton have caused the people to take
some precautions. AT 6 o'clock Tues
day night the Ohio river was rising at
the rate of three inches an hour and
had reached a stage of 1913. The pros
poets are for a stage of about 81 feet
here Wednesday morning and by
Thursday it is expected the highest
point will be reached, when a crest of
IS feet will come. That will be just
below the danger line. but fears of
additional rains are entertained. The
Little Kanawha reached a stationary
stage Tuesday afternoon; and all dan
ger from flood along that valley
has passed away. Its highest stage
was at Creston, where 10 was 1877.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 27.-AboUt 81
100000 bushels of coal were started
to southern points Monday. More

river been on such a rampage, max
ing it unsafe. The river at 10 p. m.
registered at the dam 81 feet and ris-
ing at the rate of inches an hour.
Both the Allegheny and Mononga-

heavy rains along their entire length

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
Train on Cleveland & Pittsburgh
Goes Into the River-LOss of Life
Thought to BE Considerable.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 28.-At lis
Wednesday morning the night ex-
press for Cleveland on the Cleveland
G. Pittsburgh, was thrown in the riv-
er two miles below Beaver. The
scanty information at hand shows one
man drowned and four others badly
hurt.
me accident occurred at a point
where extensive films have been
made, and it is supposed the high wa
ter had washed the fill from under
the track and let the entire train of
engine and five cars into the Ohio
river. The officials say no passengers
were hurt. The excitement was in
describable. The passengers were
compelled to break their way out
from the cars by breaking the win
dows and climbing to the bank.
At a. m. one body had been taken
from the wreck, that of Express Mes
senger Adam Casey, of Cleveland.
Engineer Cougherhour, of Cleveland,
has both legs cut off and will die.
Baggagemaster James Allen, of Pitts
burgh, skull crushed. Conductor
Frank Bonnell, of Cleveland, arm bro
ken. Porter John Taylor, of Cleve-
land, skull fractured. Pullman Con-
| ductor McIlwaine, internally injured.
1t is thought many passengers are
in the wreck which lies under ten
feet of water. Ten passengers swan
out and were taken to Conway with
the dead and injured.
The heavy rains were responsible
for the wreck. The bank gave way
while the train was running 80 miles
an hour. The meager details from
the wreck indicate that many are yet
unaccounted for.

EARL Il SERIOUSLY ILL
Mandarins Are Taking BoatlOads Of
Supplies to the Court.
A Letter From Emperor KwRng Su
TO Lii Hung Chang Intercepted
BY the Germans - Contents
Not Made Public.

London, Nov. Eli Hung Chang,
according to the Shanghai correspon-
dent of the Morning Post, is seriously
i'll and has telegraphed for his adopt
ed son, LII Ching Fang.
Shanghai, Nov. 27.-Native Chris
tians from Fan Cheng Hsien on Han
river, report that they saw 400 boats
taking supplies for the court at Sian
Flu, and that the mandarins have
chartered every available boat for
that purpose.
Berlin, Nov. 27.--"A letter from
Emperor Kwang Su to Ii Hung Chang
has been intercepted by the Ger
MANS" says private dispatch from
Picking, "but its contents have not
been made public. A small German
detachment destroyed An Hsieh
Wang, sustaining no losses. The
weather here is now severely cold"
Tien-Tsin, Nov 27.-The military
force in Tien-Tsin has been heavily
reduced and it is not now believed
that any considerable army will be
maintained here during the winter
unless the legations should withdraw
from Peking here. While this has
been agitated locally it is not likely
that it will be done unless circum-
stances not now foreseen arise. The
Germans have been moving steadily
up country as fast as transports were
obtained, and the Russian and Amer
lean forces have been largely re-
duced.
Berlin, Nov. pa dispatch received
by the Navy League here, Tuesday,
says that Col Yorck's column reach
ed Kalgan (about 100 miles north
west of Peking) November IS. The
Chinese troops, numbering 5000 men,
fed. A battalion of Chinese imperial
soldiers was disarmed.
The National Zeitung, discussing
the punishment of the guilty officials
in China, says:
Germany must abide by the decis-
ion of the ministers at Picking"
The Post says the peace negOtia-
tions will probably be finished at the
first of the week.

ARMYTOBEINCREASED
Bill Providing for a Maximum Of
$4,000 Men, Minimum $4,000.
Thirty Regiments of Infantry and
Fifteen of CaVaIry-ArtiI1ery to
BE Organized Into Batteries of
Heavy and Field Artillery.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The members
of the house committee on military
affairs will confer with Secretary Root
in a day or two. Tuesday afternoon
they went over the bill which has
been known as the war department
bill, drawn on lines suggested and APP
proved by Secretary Root. The sec
rotary expects to give further consid-
Grafton to the bill, and then will send
it to members of the committee. The
war department bill provides for a
maximum of $4,000 men and a mini
mum of $4,000, with 30 regiments of
infantry, Is regiments of cavalry, and
a gradual increase of the infantry
until at the end of five years there
will be $4,000 men.
The artillery is not to be organized
into regiments, but as batteries and
organizations of heavy and field ar
tillery. With the maximum army
there are TO be $50 men to each in
fantry regiment, making 1850 men to
a regiment. The maximum of cav
airy troop is to be 100 men. There is
no provision for lieutenant general
in the war department, but under the
present law the senior major general
commanding would have the rank of
lieutenant general. The war depart
ment bill does not give \the same in
crease of major generals and briga-
der generals as the Hull bill. The
detailed staff provisions are an i'm
60 81 II -,
1t provides that hereafter vacan-
cies in the staff, excepting the medical
corps, pay corps and engineers, shall
be filed by details from the line, such
detailed officers being subject to line
duty at any time. This is the same
as the Hull bill of the last congress,
and is earnestly favored by Secretary
Root. The war department bill pro-
vides that the promotions shall be
made from the regular 9rmy accord
ing to the present rank, down to and
including the rank of captains
The officers of the present volun-
teer army become officers in the reg
ular army, but in the grades of first
and second lieutenants only, the va
cancies in the captains rank being
filled from the first ieutenants of the
present regular establishment, the
relative rank of the volunteer officers
entering the regular establishment to
be determined by seniority.
The committee will not hold an
other session until Friday, adjourn
ing over Wednesday and Thanksgiv-
ing day.
