AMBASSADOR WHITE
 PRAISES THE DEAD,

Berlin, Sept. H.-Newspaper extras con taining the news of the death of Presi- dent Mckinley were purchased this morn ing by the people who were much touch td by the cable dispatches telling of the pathetic departure of Mrs. Mckinley from her husbands presence, of the last words of the dying man and his peaceful end.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press took the news to the United States
 undoubtedly President Mckinley will pass into the history of the United States as one of the great Presidents. None of his predecessors had shown so broad and thorough a knowledge of the main ques- tions relating to our industry and com merce. On all subjects in these fields he showed not merely talent. but genius, the highest evidence of which was given in his speech at Buffalo before his death. Having done more than any other man to build up our great industries, he showed how new markets could be found and industries be made more effective in multiplying commercial relations with other powers. During his life time in the heat of partisan strife, he was charged with devotedness to the interests of capf> tai. But, viewed hereafter by the hsto- rian, 1t will appeaE that his care for the interests of capitaY was the result of the devotion to labor and the interests of the plain people from whom he sprang He knew that the interest of labor and capi- tai cannot be disassociated. Never did a President plan more wisely or toll more earnestly for the laborert

A Queer Frontier Experience.

. ,, In narrating the frontier experiences of The First White Baby Born in the Northwest" in The Ladies' Home Journal, w. 5. Harwood tells of a queer experi- ence that befell the family in the first year after settling on q farm far remov- ca rom the settlements.

from some organic disease rather than

from some organic disease rather than from the grip itself.
 In Gothenberg, Sweden, the grip is an first time. so far as known. in 17S2, and being known then as influenza. The grip" years for this city were 1890, 1894, 1853, 1887, 1851 and 1864, and this did not appear in the city again until 1SS9, tRe first year of the worldwide epidemic of the disease. Last winter again there were many cases of grip, though of mild type. H -.
 Switzerland has a i1eavy epidemic of the grip lasting from 1890 to 1894, and since then the country has been remark ably free from the disease.
 In Varlous places in Mexico the grip appeared last winter, though not in an unusually severe form. In the City of Mexico it was complicated most frequent ly with pneumonia and in Monterey the accompanying ailment seemed to be neu- ralgta, which sometimes was diagnosed as the grip even by the medical profess sion. No cases of the grip are reported from 1loilo. in the Philippines, but in grip in mild form has been prevalent this spring. In San Juan the grip ap- pears every winter abou: January l, when the northern trade winds begin to blow. Yet the attack this last spring has been unusually mild. In Ponce last spring there was rather a sharp epidemic, and the months of March. April and May seem to be the season of the greatest se- verity. Many of the influenza cases end in remittent probably malarial, fever. In Mayaguez the grip has prevailed in a mild type since the end of January this year. It seems in this ncighborhood as if the lack of north winds early in the year accounts for the mtldness of the disease and the absence of complications.
 A mild epidemic of the grip Is report ed from St. John, Antigua, in the West Indies. In Kingston. Jamaica, influenza appeared last year for the first time in anything like epidemic form, but since last November there has been no case of the disease.
 In San Salvador about 15 per cent. of the cases of illness are due to the grip, yet the mortality from this cause for tho last year has been slight.
 Way down in the South Pacific, on Nor folk Island, a severe form of the grip was imported last September from Syd- nev. There were two lulls, and at the end of the vear the health of the island was reported as being fairly good.

 "The name of the deceased will always be mentioned in the history of the united States in a prominent place; The narrow Constitution of the republic limits the power of It's President and renders it more difficult for mediocrists to ,ana mainsain in intelligence and energy are able 70 carry their point. Of such men the Unit ed States has had. besires Wasmngtoh: only Lincoln and Mckinley. Grant owed his popularity only to his military suc- cess ana not to his civil administration. Mckinley was a typical American. who enrrgetically pursued his end. As he was against spoils and politicians and led clean private life. he may well be com pared with Lncoln.'
 The National Zeitung closes It's article by saying: If the civilized States do not unite in destroying the hot-beds of anarchism, much worse things will hap pen.'
 The Berliner Neuste Nachrichten says: President Mckinley was, beside Grant and Lincoln. one of the most prominent Presidents. His administration Is con spicuous In the history of the United States. Regarding the relations of the United States with Germany, 1t will be noted that he did not endorse anti-Ger- and that he repeatediy pointed out tbe friendly relations with Germany. The whole of Germany will regret his death."

Paris, Sept. 14-The tri-color over the ElySee palace and other official edifices It is understood that the gala perform aEce at the Theatre at Compegnie, fixed for the evening of Septmber 20, has been countermanded as mark of respect.
 ''The death of President Mckinley will have a greater reVerberation through out Europe. than had the disappearance played a bigger part on the worlds s stage than any of his predecessors. Bolder than they, he threw the gauntlet to one augurated at the expense of Spain a policy of expansion and conquest. He installed himself in the Philippines and joined uninvited in the European con cert in China and finally took up a de- ter min ! and very American attitude on the Panama question. Now this great perturber of our quietude reposes in his tomb. Win his imperialist policy disap- pear with him? Logically, Mir. Roose- welt is heir to the views and ambitions of Mckinley and hence nothing will be changed fin the United States. So much the worse for Europe"
 The Figaro says the lesson to be drawn from Mckinleys assassination Is that var must be declared against this mur- derous propaganda and that these anti social doctrines and all doctrines in any degree connected with them must he stitied. After expressing condolence
 We also salute President Roosevelt. whose chivalrous mind Is known to ali and who undoubtedly will continue, es- pecially in the relations with France, the traditions of his predecessor There is not another man who better responds to the ideal of his countrymen He has been long prepared for the supreme rank and he will occupy this high station with ease and success. He is support ed by public sentiment and will know how to use this strength"
 The Matin says: There ia son,atbip1 grandly tragic in the death of this man who fell shaking hands with his assas- sin in the presence of a crowd But in the midst of this terrible mourning inc Americans may consider themselves for tunate. They lose their chief of state but find a man in Roosevelt"

How to Button a Coat.

 The art of properly buttoning a coat any coat-is, do 1t the other way.
 That is to say that nine out of every ten of us button our coats the wrong way. We commence with the topmost button when we should commence with the bottommost.
 The frailest portion of a coat, Tn re- spect to shape retaining Qualities-no matter how well made-is the region of collar and lapels. The swagger mer- chant tailor always cautions his custom CT to wear 1t buttoned a few days so that the collar may set properly
 Then, this admitted, 1t follows that tugs and strains affecting this. part of the garment tend to destroy it's sym Imetry. Drawing the coat together by the top button and buttonhole for the purpose of fastening exerts pull all around the shoulders and neck region. which. by repetition, in time will give the smartest coat a hang dog appear ance

Insects Become Intoxicated

Intoxication from the nectar and pol den of plants has been subject of in- affects insects, and 1t appears that the cosmos flower is specially potent as a source of drunkenness in bees and other nectar loving creatures. A bee so drunk that 1t could scahcely get upon its legs was taken to the laboratory and placed about two inches from a cosmos blos- som. It immediately staggered to the flower and began to suck the nectar and in a few moments tumbled over. a sense- less and almost inert victim of apperite. Drunken beetles found under the blos- soms prove that the pollen must have the same effect as the nectaries.
 The experimenter swallowed a half teaspoonful of the pollen and in about fif- teen minutes experienced a feeling of ex- hilaration, with acceleTatiOn of the pulse and warmth. An injection into the arm an infusion of the nectaries caused ex- hilaration for half an hour. followed by nausea.
