Campbell Is said to have made an as

years old, after an evening spent In

him until his cries summoned the
guard. The guard rescued the boy ana

outside the cell and one Of the soldiers
discovered that he could reach It
through the bars. He secured 1t and
madela running moose at one end. This
was thrown over Campbell's head. His
cries finally attracted attention. but
the relief could not find the key to the
cell and the soldiers kept on leisurely
casting the end Of the rope alta bar.
Just as the rope fell over and Campbell
prepared to say his prayers the men
outside broke in and rescued him.

SLAPPED CARRIES FACE.

JOlted.
Utica, n. Y, Aug. II. - Mrs. Carrie
Nation took in the Island Ramble ex-
cursion on the St. Laurence river yes
terday, and as a result of her efforts
to suppress the nicotine habit among
the smokers aboard the boat she had
her face severely slapped. Immediately
on getting aboard the excursion steam
er she began TRADE, and accosted
every one who was smoking with the
sommand to throw the weed away.
Some complied and some Gid not.
Some she relieved of their cigars by
force OF arms and some by force of ell
oquance. To all, individually and col
lect;vely. she delivered her diatribe
against the evil of smoking. Going up
to Eugene Foley of Clayton, repre-
sentative Of Utica shoe house. she
demanded that he throw his cigar into
the river. He refused and she made g
short-arm jab for the weed. Foley
side-stel ped and ccuntered with his
open hand upon the robust cheek OF
the reformer. This encounter ended
for time her cleaning-up process, and
she turned her attention to the
beauties of the scenery.

The play" Of intellect, to use
vacation pun, constitutes the delight
OF learning. and is often its truest in
spiration. A young girl at hotel
table, some years ago, undertook to
quiet restless child by making for
him little figures which she modelled
from bread crumbs rubbed between
her fingers. The rapidly growing pro-
cession of Noah's-ark animals at
tracted the attention of a gentleman
opposite. 1t was the sculptor Thomas
Ball, who afterward told the girl she
had unusual talent, took her to his
own studio, and taught her to model
in clay and afterward to work in
marble. An interesting side-light on
the pretty incident is that the young
girl had nodded her figures undis-
turbed by q tableful of witnesses. and,
on the other hand, Mr.. Ball seated her
In the studio with her back toward
his own chair, because he could not
possibly work while anybody looked
on"

Pekin, Aug. 1S.--The troops Of the
powers have not yet evacuated the pnb-
lie buildings. The British and. the
American troops propose to occupy the
Temple of Heaven and the Temple OF
Agriculture until their barracks are
ready. Sir Ernest Satow, the British
minister, thinks it would not be wise to
withdraw before the protocol has been
signed in conjunction with the Chinese
plenipotentiarjes, as withdrawal would
remove the chief inducement to the
Chinese to sign. The Japanese stih
hold the northern secti9n Of the city.
It Ia considered significant Of their re-
lations with the Chinese that Japan
csc colonel has been selected to com
mand and organize the Chinese police.
The opinion is growing that the court
will refuse to return SO long as the
powers maintain such large forces IN
the province Of Chilli. The profoco!
does not provide for the destruction OF
the forts, the ministers of the powers
having failed to agree on this point.

At the recent naturalization examina-
lions of the University of Breslau, a
young German peasant with his moth
er and sisters passed with honors. The
mother came first on tho entire list.
In order to encourage the young man
in his work, his mother and sister had
since his childhood studied his lessons
with him. A less spectacular version of
family cooperation goes on daily in one
of the most beautiful homes at fash
ionable resort. Directly after breakfast
the father and mother, two college
daughters, one grown and one young
son, join in half-hour's Spelling

coming an ignorance which would have
seriously crippled his collegiate course,
and been source of modification all
his life.

PLANS FOR PEACE.

Efforts ON Foot to Bring Abort .
Settlement of the strike.
Pittsburg, Aug. 16. Once more there
are efforts afoot to settle the strike be-
ing waged against the United states
Steel corporation by the Amalgamafed
association. but their success Ii prob
lematical. Neither side will admit that
there has been single step toward
bringing about a settlement or that
there is any prospects Of an exchange
Of peace proposals. B. NJ Caldwell.
formerly a mill owner of Mingo juno
ton, is known to have conferred with
the strike leaders with a view to
sketching basis of settlement which
he plans to place before the officials of
the steel corporation. Both sides Wig
orousiy denied that they had either
made overtures or received proposals,
but it is known positively that the plan
is under consideration. Mr.. Caldwell
is acting independently and does not
represent either the manufacturers or
the men.
No expression from him was obtain
able and no line on the terms that
have been considered can be had. 1t
is believed here that, under certain
circumstances the contending sides
could be brought together and a settle
ment effected, but whether such will
come to pass remains to be seen.
President Shaffer, in significant
statement made at noon yesterday,
said that personally he was for peace,
and that he was fighting only because
he was on the defensive and forced to
fight.
War Waged With vigor.
Meantime the contest between the
two great interests is being waged
with vigor and slightly varying for
tune. The steel corporation seemed to
be somewhat stronger at the lower
Union mill Of the Carnegie company in
this city, although the strikers are
still working hard to cripple or close it.
The corporation also added to the force
at Wellsville and announced that at
last it had the plant running to it's full
capacity. 1t had been anticipated that
the day would show some move on the
part of the American Tin Plate COM
pany toward opening one or more of
it's plants with non-union men, but
nothing was done and there were no
attempts at extensions in other direc-
tions. Three hundred men employed at
the Seamless tube plant at McKees-
port, an auxiliary of the National Tube
company, threw down their tools and
joined the strikers. 1t is said they
quit because they would not handle
non-urio n-made material. During the
day the strikers kept close watch on
the plants that are being operated
with non-union men and also kept
alert pickets around the Carnegie
plants and the works that are COM
pletely closed down. There were few
deyelopr ents, and except in the in
stances enumerated there have been
no changes in the general situation.
Good order was general throughout all
the strike districts.

Washington, Aug. 18.-Secretary Hay
received a dispatch from COMMISSIONS
Rockhill, dated at Peldn yesterday, ex-
pressing the belief that the protocol
would be signed yithin few days. This
dispatch disposed Of the press report
That the protocol weE signed Thursday.
Commissioner Rockhill expected to sign
the protocol and leave for home Thurs
day. He Is waiting for the purpose and
expects to get away from Pekin within
q week. 3cSf ss s .s, ~ +
The state department does not regard
the signing of the protocol as the end Of
the negotiations. It is, in fact, only the
beginning, and 1t is not encouraging
that the powers have consumed one
year In getting together on the basis Of
an understanding with China. What
has been accomplished is satisfactory
to degree. but there will probably be
more trouble in arranging the treaties
that are to. be drawn in harmony with
the protocol. The grs stest objection to-
the protocol is that it simply meets the
demands Of the powers on China. and
does practically nothing toward pre-
venting a recurrence of the Boxer trou-
BILE or the antagonism to foreigners.
There has been little done toward a
treaty of friendship with China. The
powers have agree as to what China
shall pay for the outrage year ago
and have agreed to an increase of tar
ifs that will enable China to meet the
indemnities assessed against the treas
ury. There are yet to be drawn treat
les that will insure change Of admin
istration In China which will make the
country safer for foreigners in the flu
ture. The foreign ministers still have
much work before Them and it is Of
character to test their diplomatic skill
and their political judgment. Minister
Conger will resume the work for this
government. While he can be relied
upon to negotiate treaty satisfactory
to the United States, he will be more OF
less hampered by the conflicting mo-
tives and concealed purposes of other
powers. What has been accomplished
is in striking contrast with what was
accomplished by .Jaran in her treaty
with China after the war of 1895. The
treaty negotiated in 1895 did much more
than exact indemnity. It opened China
to Industrial DEVELOPMENT and gave
great boom to foreign trade with China.

state any legal ground for divorce:
"She was quarrelsome, vicious in dis

the plaintiff and his parents, hysteri-

IN her actions, and by her causeless
