WOMAN KILLED
EALING FROM WINDOW

Chicago, July 25.-Early yesterday
young woman, supposed to be Mrs. B.
Degraff of La Crosse, Wis, fell from
window on the sixth floor of the Nor
rison hotel and died an hour later at
the county hospital.
La Crosse, Wis, July 25.-Friends
Of Mrs. B. Degraff of this city, who
was killed at Chicago by falling from
hotel window, are as willing to be-
lieve that it was a case of suicide as
an accident. Mrs. Degraff's domestic
life has been full of trouble. Several
times divorce proceedings have been
instituted to separate her from her
husband, who was a tailor. The last
time they were divorced was three
months ago, by the circuit court at
Viroqua, on account of her habitual
drunkenness and incompatibility Of
temper. Once she attempted suicide
by taking carbolic acid after pro-
tracted good time, but physicians
brought her back to life. Since the
last divorce she and her ex-husband
have been seen together here quite
often and it is believed that they left
La Crosse for Chicago together Mon
day last. Mrs. Degraff was a very
pretty woman and very attractive
Drink was her downfall.

8 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.,

What do the robins whisper about
From their homes in the elms and
birches?
I've tried to study the riddle out;
But still in my mind is many a doubt,
In spite of deep researches.
While over the world is silence deeu,
In the twilight of early dawning.
They begin to chirp and twitter aud
peep,
AS if they were talking in their sleep
At three o'clock in the morning.
Perhaps the little ones stir and com.
plain
That it's time to be up and doing;
And the mother-bird sings a drowsy
strain
To coax them back to their dreams
again,
Though distant cocks are Growing.
Or do they tell secrets that should not
be heard
BY mortals listening and prying?
Perhaps we might learn from some
whispering word
The best way to bring up a bird
Or the wonderful art of flying.
1t may be they speak of an autumn
day
When, with many feathered
roamer,
Under the clouds so cold and gray.
Over the hill they take their way
In search of the vanished summer.
1t may be they gossip from nest %
nest,
Hidden and leaf-enfolded;
For 60 we not often hear it confessed
When long-kept secret at last is
guessed,
That "a little bird has told it?"
Perhaps; but the question is wrapped
in doubt
They give me no hint or warning
Listen, and tell me if you find out
What do the robins talk about
At three o'clock in the morning?

The Great Woman Traveller.

y Few Of Mrs. Bishops habits in
traVellAg may be of interest. Like
all old hands" she does not cucumber
herself with luggage, or with patent
encumbrances. She buys and uses
the native articles as much as
possible, knowing that in all
probability, they are adapted to the
condition Of the country. A camb-bed
IS the one indispensable thing she
carries with her, on account of her
spine; and this must certainly be a
great convenience in remote China.

"a most luXuriant and pleasant
method, even when the road is not
smooth. She makes rule when in
the east of never employing a boy"
or servant, who has been with
Europeans before-certainly a tribute
to Oriental character. Among the
qualities that give value to Mrs.
Bishops observations on her travels
is her painstaking minuteness. She
has not only the feminine eye for
details, but great patience in verifying

EVERYDAY HEROES,
Firemen in Great Cities. Whose Life
Is Always in Danger.


In St Nicholas Cleveland Moffett
takes up The Firemen. In all its
history he says, Il suppose the world
has seen no heroes like these, who
join the skill of gladiators with the
valor of crusaders. Does that sound
like exaggeration? l should call it
rather uuderstatement."
As illustrating the things fremen
do every day, and do gladly, he gives
some incidents of one particular fire
that happened in New York on St.
Patrick's Day, 1899. 1t was a pleasant
afternoon, and Fifth Avenue was
crowded with people garthered to
watch the parade. \ gayer, pleas

Good Flowers for Masses of Color.

Nowadays a brilliant show OF color
in flower-beds is popular. Many of our
most beautiful flowers are unsatls-
factory for massing for this purpose.
One of the best is the California
Poppy. This is of an extremely rich
shade of yellow, and masses Of it pro-
duce a most dazzling effect. Another
good plant for massing is Phlox
Drummondli. To secure the most
satisfactory results with it SOW each
color by itself or in such manner as
to secure color contrast without the
bizarre effects resulting from the use
of mixed seed. The white, rose and
pale yellow sorts are very fine. The
Petunia is most snowy flower and
blooms profuselv through the greater
part of the season. Calliopsis is fine
for massing. So is Candytuft in white

Russell's Good Offices.

Washington, Aug, H.-The state
department has authorized Mr.. Rus
SELL the American charge d'affairs at
Caracas, Venezuela to use his good
Offices for Colombia in case the Co
lombian minister at the Venezuelan
capital leaves that country. Mr..
Russell telegraphed last week, seek
ing information as to his course OF
action in case of the withdrawal of
the Colombian minister, which APP
parently was in contemplation at
that time. The state department
has no information as to whether Mr..
Russell is fulfilling this temporary
duty.
There have been no additional
developments as to the situation on
the Isthmus of Panama, where the
trouble is far removed from that
along the Venezuelan border. Consul
General Gudger's course in looking
after the interests of Chinese along
the Isthmus is not in pursuance of
any specific instructions from Wash
ington, but follows procedure estab-
lished II years ago in connection
with points at which the Chinese
were entirely without official repre-
sentation.
The navy department has now de-
finitely determined to make use of the
battleship Iowa instead of the Wis
consin on the Pacific side of the
Isthmus in case affairs become SER
ious there. The Iowa is the flagship
of the Pacific station, and as such
flies the flag of Rear Admiral Silas
Casey. At last reports received here
the admiral was on board the Iowa,
but it is hardly probable that he will
proceed further south than San
Francisco.
The gunboat Machias has reached
Norfolk, and will probably sail for
Colon tomorrow morning.

IOWA MAY GO SOUTH.
Will Probably Be Substituted for the Wis.
consin at Panama.

Washington, Aug. 13.-The state
department was without additional
information today concerning the
Nenezuela-Colombia situation, or of
the revolutionary outbreak on the
Isthmus. These two troubles are dis
tinct, one being on the west and the
other on the east coast of Colombia.
The Ranger, which has been ordered
to get in readiness at San Diego, Cal,
for trip to Panama, is a small cruis-
er OF ,020 tons displacement, and has
been engaged for some time past in
survey work on the Pacific coast and
in Central American waters. 1t is
possible that her services at the seat
of trouble will suffice and that bat
tie ship will not be needed to make
the long trip from the north. The
Ranger has main battery of six four
inch rapid-fre guns and a secondary
battery of four six-pounders and a
Colt gun. She has a complement of
Il officers and I27 men.
As the battleship Iowa has report
ed her arrival at Bremerton, while
the Winconsin has not yet been heard
from, it is probable that the former
may be substituted for the prospect

ment of the change has not yet been
made.

TRAFFIC BECOMING UNSAFE.
Pressure is Being Brought to Bear on the
Panama Railroad Company.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12-F. A. Drake,
secretary of the Panama Railroad
Company, says that the communica-
tion which ]. Edward Simmons, pres.
ident of the company, sent to the
State Department suggesting that an
American warship go to the Pacific
side at Panama, as well as to the At
lantic side at Colon, was sent largely
as the result of the pressure which
residents of the isthmus have brought
to bear on the company. Since
Wednesday night officers of the com.
pany in New York have received mail
advices from the isthmus showing in
creased activity on the part of the
insurgents in the shape of depreda-
tions by bands of from 40 to so
guerrillas, who have raided outlying
towns, looting property and captur-
ing citizens for ransom.
Traffic, however, even in the abb
sence of any reported depredations
along the railroad line, is clearly tend
ing, in the opinion of the officers, to
become unsafe and the significance
of the movements Of the rebels, they
think, it that it appears to be re.
vival of the insurrection that was
supposed to have been suppressed
last year.

Answer to Shsfisrs General Strike Order
Sixty Thousand Men Now Out.

Pittsburg, Aug. l4.-The struggle
for mastery between manufacturers
and men in the steel strike is now
fairly launched, and on the first
show of strength advantage is withp
the former. The general strike order
issued by President Shaffer, of the
Amalgamated Association, has so far
been obeyed by only about IA, 900
men, according to the best figures OBJ
tainable here. The first two calls
we're answered by about 45, 600 men,
80 that the total number now out is
in the neighborhood of 10000 The
strikers made gains here today over
the showing of last night, and their
prospects for further accessions at
both McKeesport and Wheeling dur
ing the week are very favorable.
The action of the Amalgamated men
at Chicago, Joliet and Bayview in re-
iusing to come out, and their failure
to secure any recruits in the Carnegie
group throughout the Kiskiminetas
valley, and in the big plants at
Youngstown and Columbus, O., have
been marked by disappointment to
them. They are keeping up the
fight, however, in spirited manner,
and claim that they have strength in
reserve which will surprise their OPP
ponents. They assert that they have
gained foothold in the Carnegie
mills in this city, and at the time de
sired the men will come out. They
are pressing their advantage at Nc
Keesport and Wheeling and their or
ganizers are still at work in those
towns. President Shaffer has decided
to visit Wheeling, and will address a
mass meeting of his followers. He
plans to spend tomorrow here direct
ing the fight and comforting with his
associates as to plans for the future.
An appeal for financial aid has been
made to organized labor and to the
general public, and it is expected the
responses to it will be liberal.

PUTTING DOWN REBELLION.
Annual Report Of General Macarthur on the
Philippine Situation.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The an.
nual report of Major-General Mac.
Arthur, dated July 4, 1901, the day ne
reinquished command of the division
OF the Philippines. has been received
at the War Department The period
covered by the report is from oc.
tober !, 1900, when the last report
from General Macarthur was dated.
He reviews the policy of the Fill.
pinos that were hostile to the Ameri-
cans, saying that their action since
the practical collapse of the insur-
rection has been a perplexing prob.
lem. With the disbandment of the
insurgent field armies, the Filiplnos
organized desperate resistance by
banding the people together in sup.
port of the guerrillas. This was car
ried out by means of secret commit
tees, who collected contributions, in
hicted punishments and carried on a
considerable opposition to the Amerl.
cans. General Macarthur reviews
the manner in which operations were
carried on against these guerrillas
and says he hopes the policy adopted

THE CUBAN PRESIDENCY.
General Gomez Suggests the Names Of Palma
and MassO.

Havana, Aug. 14.-General Maxi
mo Come has addressed letter to the
local committee of the National party,
in Havana, declining to be a candi-
date for the presidency of Cuba, and
suggesting the name of Senior Estrada
Palma and Senior Masso as the best
selections that could be made for the
presidency and vice presidency
'Let all Cubans agree upon this
important matter, says General Go
mez in his communication, "and
Cuba will have a strong and stable
government, entirely fitted to deal
with the external relations in which
Cuba will have to exist as a republic.

of revolutionary generals was started

Senior Palma the unanimous choice
of the people for president, 1t is
asserted that thus far Masso has de-
clned to fall in with the plan as sug-
gested by Gomez, as he relies upon
the Negro vote to elect him president.

will in time conciliate the natives and
make them friendly to the United
States. The education of the people
in times past made them suspicious
of any governmental benefcience, and
they evidently looked on the lenient
attitude of the United States as in
dicating weakness. General Mac
Arthur says the proclamation issued
on December 21 firmly declaring the
intention of the United States to hold
the island and to have the laws
obeyed, had good effect, and the sec
ret resistance was much abated.
A considerable portion of the re-
port is devoted to the field operations
of the army, showing that October /,
1900, it occupied 413 stations, which
was of necessity increased to 502 sta
tions, every command being in con.
tact with some hostile force. He
speaks of the good service of the
army and says, as a result of the CO.
operation between the army and the
people who have accepted the invi
tation to combine for mutual protec
tion, the armed insurrection is almost
suppressed.

Captured by Beers After Severe Fighting
Dswst Intends to Attack Cape Town.

London, Aug. ia dispatch from

"A blocKhouse near Bradiort,

captured by the Beers, after severe
fighting, the night of August 7.
Elliot has captured 10 prisoners
and large quantities of stock and
wagons, which he is sending in. No
details have been received.
Mail dispatches from Lord Kitch-
ener issued today in a parliamentary
paper, say his constant endeavor is to
improve the Notifications along the

leasing men from active service. The
garrisons off the railways have mostly
been withdrawn.

MUCH GOLD RECOVERED.
Sslby People Have Dug Up All But $4,000
of Stolen Treasure.

San Francisco, Aug. At was
stated at the Office of the Selby
Smelling Company at noon that a
force of divers, under the manage
ment of the Pinkertons, had today
taken $65, 900 worth of gold from the
spot where it was hidden by Winters,
making nearly $780, 900 already re. !.
covered. 1t is expected that the
balance of the stolen treasure, amount
ing to $50, will be recovered in
side of "a hours.
Winters is still detained by the
officers in this city, but has not been
formally charged with the crime.
The fact that he has not been charged
with any crime lends additional
weight to the belief that he will be
leniently dealt with for confessing the
crime and locating the spot where he
secreted the bullion.
There promises to be lively fight
between the detectives over the re-
ward money, and this matter may
eventually be taken into count for
settlement. Detective Morse, who,
it is stated, definitely fixed upon
Winters the authorship of the crime,
states that he got his first inforna-
tion from Donaldson, an employe of
the works, who formerly roomed with
Winters. Morse, @who is a detective
for the Selby people, does not claim
any of the reward, but states that
a large portion of it should be divided
between Donaldson and Sheriff Veale,
of Contra Costa county. Their claims
are opposed by the other detectives
engaged in the case.
