 Both the emperor and the empress dowager left Picking so hurriedly that the only wardrobe they could take with them was the clothes which they were then wearing. But new clothes have been received gradually from Pe- king. and now their majesties can ap- pear in the dress suitable to their rank, and such as they wore in Picking.

tory over Governor Campbell, the dem- ocratic candidate for reelection, was decisive, and he boiled the largest vote so far cast for governor in the history of Ohio Campbell had been elected in 1889 by 11.000 plurality; Mckinley de- feated him by 21,50O
 Soon after his election as governor the presidential campaign began. Gov ernor Mckinley was elected delegate at large to the convention. When the delegates gathered at Minneapolis the contest was apparently between Harri- son and Blaine. Mckinley came out for Harrison. The opponents of the president, when they found Blaine's chances were ont all they had hoped, started boom igor Mckinley.
 He was presiding officer of the convention when the attempt was made to stampede the delegates for him, When the roll call was complete, Har- rison received 535 votes, Blaine 1892, McKiley 182, and Reed f. Leaving the chair, MT. Mckinley moved to make the nomination of Harrison unanimous.
 On the expiration of his term as governor he returned to Canton, where he lived quietly for six months. Then the campaign for the presidentcy was begun, and all over the country repub lcan enthusiasm sprung up for McKin- ely It was soon evident that the hon. or which twice before might have been his but for his high sense of loyalty was now to be thrust upon him. In the re- publican national convention, held in St. Louis in 1896, he was nominated on the first ballot, and in the ensuing elec- tion he received a popular vote of r. 779, plurality of 601,S54 over his principal opponent, William Jennings Bryan.
 Two facts of importance marked MT. McKinleys' first four years as presi- dent Spain withdrew it's flag from this hemipshere, and gold was declared by statute to be the sole legal standard of value.

COFFEE DISEASES, Minister and Young Lady Affected

Ministers sometimes find they suf- fer from the effects of bad habits as well as ordinary people. Rev. MT. - of Athens, N. r., had become greatly emaciated from coffee drinking, which effects of overwork or poor nourish- ynent
 He quit the coffee and began drink ing Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
 His health began to improve and he now weighs 151 pounds, an increase of fifteen pounds over his former weight. This improvement in health and strength is shown to be due to the use of Postum Food Coffee, by the fact that when he stops drinking Postum-as he has done for an experiment-he begins to lose flesh and get back into his old condition.
 A young lady who writes about the case says that she was formerly suf- fering greatly from "those twin dis cases" dyspepsia and nervousness 'I knew that both of the diseases had their origin in the use of coffee, and while I was fully aware of the injuri- ous effects upon my system. was not willing to give 1t up, Tor l alu not know of anything to take it's place.
 Tea, knew was also injurious, and as for cocoa, it looked the snap and go' which can alone satisfy a coffee drinkers taste. About two years ago I purchased my first box of Postum Food Coffee and quit the use of coffee. I made Postum according to directions and found had drink not only equal to coffee, but far superior to it in many ways. Since that time I have nsed it constantly and find my general health very much improved, and thetwin dis cases gone. I also send you the names of Rev. and Mrs. - of Athens, N. Y, who have been greatly helped by the use of Postum Food Coffee in the place of ordinary coffee"

NAVIGATING A PEANUT.
A Ludicrous Performance in Payment of a Lost Bet

A Ludicrous Performance in Payment of Lost Bet.
 Any one passing over the Beargrass Creek bridge on Broadway yesterday afternoon would have beheld sane man trying to steer peanut with a toothpfck from one bank of the creek to the other. Jesse Stephens was the man.
 Just before the republican primary Louis McCarty and Jesse Stephens, well-known East End Sports" made a bet Stephens bet McCarty that Reed would win in walk. McCarty was at that time rather short of funds. T haven't got any money" he said, but l will bet you on the condition that the one who loses shall push a peanut across Beargrass with a toothpick'
 This was satisfactory to Stephens, and the terms of the bet were quickly settled. The start was to be made at noon one week after the primary, near the Broadway bridge. The party pay ing the bet must go with a pair of shoes and white duck trousers on. He must be hatless and wear a thin shirt. The sleeves of this must be cut off at the shoulder. If the peanut was touched with the hands during the pas sage it must be brought back and new start made. The toothpick must be regulation size.
 These rules were mostly laid out by Stephens, who already gloated over the discontinue of McCarty. But he reck- oned without his host Reed lost, and Stephens face fell. However, the arti- cles had been drawn up and signed, and the matter resolved itself into a ques- tion of honor. Stephens prepared to pay the debt.
 Yesterday he came forth about noon in the regulation white ducks" with his arms exposed full to the blistering sun. Beargrass Creek does not seem wide, but when one has to propel peanut across with toothpick it is a different matter But Stephens was game. He valiantly waded in and be- gan in the presence of a good-sized crowd. The peanut had been selected

PRES. M'KlNLEY'S CAREER
(Continued from First Page.)

On the advice of his sister Anna he decided to settle at Canton, which has since been him home. He always man. ifested keen interest in politics. He was elected prosecuting attorney of Stark county in 1869. He was renom- mated, but missed reelection by At votes. Resuming his private practice, he soon built up profitable business.
 MT. Mckinley was married to Miss Ida Saxton on January 25, 1871. Miss Saxtons grandparents were among the founders of Canton nearly a century ago. Her father was one of the prom inent bankers of the city. Two chill dren were born to them-Katie, Christ mas day, 1871, and Ida, in 1872. Both died in early childhood Since their death Mrs. Mckinley has been an in valid.
 It was in 1876 that MT. Mckinley was first nominated for congress. He was elected by 2,3O0 majority. He was re-elected to the Forty-sixth, For ty-seventh, Forty eighth, Forty ninth, Fiftieth, and Fifty-f1rst congresses.
 In 1877 Ohio went strongly demo- cratic, and Mckinley found himself confronted by an adverse majority of 2,5s0 in a new district His opponent was General Aquila Wiley, who had lost a leg in the federal service, and who was worthy man. In ability, however, he was far inferior to Me Kinley. After brilliant canvass the latter was reelected by a majority of 1,234. In 1880 his old district was re- stored, and he was unanimously re- nominated and elected by majority of 3,571. During his whole career in con- gress MT. Mckinley was a consistent advocate of protective tariff
 At the Ohio republican convention in 1888 he was elected delegate to the national convention. When it was found that Blaine would not accept the nomination there was a movement started for McKiley, but he had gone to the convention committed to John Sherman. When it developed in the balloting that sentiment was rapidly centering upon him, he made passion ate appeal to the delegates not to con- tinue voting for him
 It was in the Fifty-frst congress that McKinley's great political oppor- tunity came. He was a leading candi- date for the speakership with Thomas B. Reed. Reed was elected. Natur- ally the chairmanship of the ways and means committee then fell to Mo Kinley. On June 6, 1S90,, he itroduced the general tariff measure which has since borne his name.
 Before the next election came around his district had again been gerryman- dered against him, the adverse major ity being fully 5000 His opponent was John G. Warwick. The fight, of course, was on the tariff Mckinley was defeated by 300 votes. His defeat really made him goveror of Ohio. His vic-
