CLARK OF MISSOURI.
No One Would Ever Designate Him
a Commonplace Man.
Even His Political Opponents De-
scribe Him ns a HumOrist with
the Enrmnrks of states
MANA Bible Student.

There are those who class Champ
Clark. of Missouri, among the humor-
lists of congress. There are others who
say he combines with a sense OF humoT
certain statesmanlike qualities which
ought to give him high position as a
leader in the house. Clark himself is a
good deal of philosopher, and asplres
TO neither distinction as leader nor
fame as wit. He is contented, apps
emily. to remain one of the most en-
tertaining and interesting members OF
the lower branch of congress. When
Clark first entered the house, in the
Fifty-third congress, he was great
deal in evidence. He attracted atten-
ton by his originality and fiamboy-
ant style of oratory that kept the older
men in smiles or gasping with aston
ishment. He was one of those of whom
ii was useless to make predictions, and
he thrust himself upon the notice of
the house on all sorts of occasions until
it began to be question whether he
was to be taken at all seriously or not.
Then he was defeated for reelection,
and this seemed to have a SOLDERING eff
feet upon him. He has said that If he
were TO live a hundred years he would
never recover from the disappointment
of that defeat. the discontinue was so
severe. The man who beat him was a
music-teacher, who was nominated in
a tidal-wave year with no expectation
of election, and who, after he got
through congress, never rose above me-
diocrity.
When Champ Clark came back to the
Fifty-fifth congress he was different
sort of a fellow. says the Washington
Star. He had broadened and mellowed
and had ideas on good many subjects
that commanded respect both from po-
litical friends and opponents.
For one thing he was great adj
mrer of Tom Reed. and never hesitated

OPPOSES BIBLE IN SCHOOL.
Nebraska Farmer Appeals to Su-
Preme Court to Settle the
Question.

An interesting legal controversy, in
volving the right of the school authori-
ties of Nebraska to enforce a rule pro-
viding for the reading of the Bible in
the schools, has come before the SUI
preme court at Lincoln for adjudica-
ton.
Daniel Freeman is wealthy farmer
residing in Gage county. His children
attend public schools, at which Bible
reading service is daily institution.
Freeman states that he is not a mem
Der of any church, nor does he believe
in the efficacy of prayer, song, or read
ing the Scriptures. He asks the school
trustees to stop these exercises, but
the members refuse to comply with
his request. His next step was to ask
the courts for an injunction. In this
he was defeated, and he now appeals.
An unfavorable decision will mean
an expenditure to Mr.. Freeman of
several hundred dollars for court costs
and attorneys fees.

sang "Where Is My Wandering Boy
Tonight" with so much effect that
one of the sailors, boy of about 20,
came forward to her at the conclusion
of the service and declared that the
song, as rendered by her, had deter.
mined him to lead a different life, and
that he intended to write to his
mother to that effect on that same
night. He gave Miss Long one of his
cards on which he wrote: May God
bless you for showing one sinner the
true light" Miss Long carries the
card in her purse as keepsake OF
her first mission work.
Since her return to Boston from
California Miss Long has been en-
gagged in church singing. She visited
Washington last winter, and by in
yitation sang several selections be-
fore President and Mrs. Mckinley.
Personally, Miss Long is young
woman of much charm and magnet
ism. Her enthusiasm in her work
proceeds from a sincere conviction
that her voice can be made powerful
influence for good in connection with
evangelical and temperance work
Her voice is rich, deep contralto.
At the age of II she was brought
out as a concert singer in Portland
Me-, by Annie Louise Carey. Her
singing then showed great promise
and her friends urged her to make
the operate stage her aim. Her fam
lily discouraged this, however. and
Miss Long took up concert singing, in
which she has been successful.

is to be struck, while the Indians and
even the modern army tent are not
nearly so conveniently set up and taken
down. Duncan Downs, of West Su.
perior, whose unique feat is illustrated
by the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
conceived the idea of building tent
for hunters, campers or army use, ex.
actly on the plan of a huge umbrella
Two sliding collars, controlled by
ropes and pulleys, serve to open and
close the tent. The upper collar is adj
Unstable at any point to permit chang

the lower collar controls the extension

up or closed ready for transportation,
consists simply of the central stick
with the canvas rolled about it, in true
umbrella fashion.

to express admiration for him, even in
companies and under conditions where
it was not to his personal advantage to
do so. He was fascinated with Reeds
force, originality and wit, and espe-
cially by the classic virility of his
speech. Champ Clark processes to be
Judge of congressional oratory, and
he has said more than once that in his
Judgment Tom Reed is the best short
speechmaker in the United States. At
times Clark tried to pattern his own
style of oartory on that of the former
speaker. He is one of the men who
make a practice of studying the Bible
purely for literary purposes, and be-
cause he knows that nothing is more
effective with popular audience than
Scripture quotations or language
which carries the Biblical mark. When
in the heat of debate he never spares
language or hesitates for an epithet.
Champ Clark tells in an interesting
way how it happened that he came to
be such a student of the Bible. His
father was a deeply religious man, but
Champ. as boy, would have nothing
to do with that sort of thing. One day.
however. he happened to run across
Patrick Henry's Grafton in the house of
burgesses. beginning: ut is natural
for man to indulge in the illusions of
hope" One sentence in the speech es-
pecially struck the youthful fancy:
THE race is not always to the swift.
nor the battle to the strong" He told
his father how much he liked the
speech and how much he was i'm
pressed with that sentence. His father
took him down by remarking: king
Solomon wrote that sentence, and if
you will read the Bible you will find a
great many others equally good" So
just from curiosity, Champ began to
read the Bible, and has kept it up ever
since.
Champ Clark is so years of age. He
was born March Z, 1850, and he looks
younger than his years. He has a
smoothly shaver face beaming with
good humor. He is one of the most
companionable men in the house.

ty was ready to depart Pedro could
not be found. After a futile search
his companions departed.
''Guaza displayed good judgment in
providing for his comfort and safety
He established himself in a small
Eonse near spring of water at an
elevation of about 500 feet above the
sea, two miles from the landing place
and an equal distance from the de-
serted plantation. 1t commanded a
wide view, and all the animals Within
miles ON every side came to the spring
for water.
His weapons were strong knife
and an ak. He constructed blind
over the spring, and by flashing his
knife to pole, succeeding in spear
ing goats and pigs in plenty. He was
compelled at first to bring his fruit
from the plantation, but he soon
made lasso of goatskin and captured
a couple of donkeys, which he trained
as saddle and pack animals, and
thenceforth rode to and from the es-
tate with proper dignity.
''The wardrobe of Guaza became
limited. He remedied this difficulty
by simply disrobing. He slowed his
one and only suit away, substituting
for it the dressed skins of goats. The
modern luxury of matches was be-
You'd his reach, and he procured fire
by the time-honored method of rub
bling two sticks together.
For awhile Guaza kept the record
of time by marking the days on a
stick, large mark for Sunday; but,
with his increasing prosperity, he be-
came careless, soon losing all run of
time; and, as the effect of utter lone
illness increased, he imagined every
day a week, the weeks months, the
months years. The first questions he
asked were: What year is it? What
month";"
Capt. Tanner said that Floriana is

the '70s the convicts rose in rebellion
and killed their keepers. Selling two
schooners. they escaped by putting to
sea. and have never been heard of

The plantation buildings crumbled
into ruins. The fields became wild
erness. The fruit trees. although
bearing heavily, were wild. Flocks
and herds roamed at will. Wild dogs.

young and thus prevented the over

This condition had existed for two
decades when Pedro Guaza became
reigning sovereign. The buildings.

DIES OF GRIEF.
Sorrow for Sister Kills a Little Mas
sachusetts Girl and They Are
Buried at One Time.

Little Susie Clohecy, eight years old,
died at the home of her parents in Law
renee, Mass, the other day under most
pathetic circumstances. A double af-
Fiction was imposed upon Mr.. and Mrs
Clohecy within As hours. Friday after.
noon their eldest daughter, Nellie, aged
10 years. died after short illness. The
shock to the parents was terrible, but
to her little sister Susan it was worse,
The two had been inseparable compan-
ions. They were wrapped up in each
other, and the death of Nellie broke
Susan's heart. "0h, mamma" she
cried. Il want to go to Heaven with
Nellie"
The parents tried to comfort the
child, but their efforts were fruitless.
The little one continued to grieve, and
in less than 4s hours she passed away.
Her last words were that she was going
to see her sister. A double funeral was
held.

turned to Indiana to devote himself
for a few years to teaching. In 1869
he went to Indianapolis. engaged as
bool1keeper to wholesale dry goods
house, and rapidly rose to the posi-
ton of manager. Upon his removal
to Anderson Mr.. Durbin entered the
banking business and the arena of
politics at the same time. and has
been very successful in both. In 1899
he became member of the state COM
mittee and in 1896 a member of the ma

with Spain he was appointed colonel
of the One Hundred and Sixty-first
Indiana infantry. In the civil war he
served with two different regiments

IGNORE WOMEN STUDENTS.
verslty Open War ON
COeducatiOn.

The feeling against coeducation at
the University of Pennsylvania has
been steadily growing with the increase
in the number of women students until
now the matter has come to head, and
the senior class of the college depart
ment has taken the initiative against
the "coeds."
At a mass meeting of that class held
the other day in College hall resolutions
were adopted which excluded from the
class record all mention of women stu
dents. A committee from the class was
appointed to confer with other com
mittees from the junior. sophomore
and freshmen classes concerning the
best methods of opposing coeducation.
This action has aroused the whole
university. 1t is believed by the more
conservative of the male students of
the university that a great mistake has
been made. and that such an agitation
at this time, and in such way, is not
only out of place, but is unj ustihable.

MODERN ARMY BALLOONS.
Made OF the IntestInes OF Oxen Which
Will Hold Gas Far Better Than
oiled SILK.

At the ballooning school of the Brit
ish army at Aldershot no less than q
hundred women are at times put to
work making balloons. Every one OF
them is either the wife or daughter OF
soldier. The material used for bal
looms is not oil silk. as was formerly
the case, Instead the big intestines OF
oxen are employed on account of their
lightness, toughness and other quail
ties. The pieces are not more than a
foot square, and these are patched TO-
gether neatly. Three or four thick
nesses of Skin" are combined. Tc
make full sized balloon in this man.

ner it is said that no less than 5000
head of cattle are needed. The balloon
costs about $4,000.
One great advantage of this materia
silk does. Heretofore the aeronaut
has been greatly bothered by the leak
age of his gas ia such an extent that q
charge could be relied upon only day
or two, or at best only two or three
days, without a considerable addition
to it. But it is said that a well-made
balloon of the modern style will keeE
it's charge for a month or more with
out sensitive diminution. Moreover
if an enemy's shot should puncture the
balloon while aloft the wounds will
close and the leakage will be small. A
severe fire is necessary to disable the
thing.
The gas for initiating an army bal.
loon is compressed into cans or tanks.
and thus carried ready made by wagons
10 the field. When one of these cans, OF
cylinders, has been carefully tested
and then filled it will hold its contents
for years. A wagon load of cylinders
may then be hauled to the scene of &C.
ton and the empty bag filled on short
notice. When employed in scouting
service balloon is held captive by 6
wire rope that is wound and unwounC
from a windlass. There is a separate
wire from the basket to the ground for
telephone or Geographic purposes sc
that the signal officers in the balloon
can communicate their observations to
headquarters promptly.
