A METHODIST BISHOP

Writes His Recommendation

most proprietary me dicines. But Peru
ma has become so justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people OF
high and low station that none hest

mending Peruna.
The following letters from pastors
who use Peruna speak for themselves:
Rev. E. g. Smith, pastor of the Pres
byterian Church, of Greensboro. Ca
writes:
"My little boy had been suffering for
some time with catarrh of the lower
bowels. Other remedies had failed, but
after taking two bottles of Peruna the
trouble almost entirely disappeared

over the telephone that there was a

Senator Proctor made the an

that the chances were favorable for
his recovery.

| turning to the Milburn residence she
| took leave of her nieces, the Misses
Barber, and the presidents niece,
Miss Duncan, as well as their hostess,
Mrs. Milburn, and went to her room
to rest.
| Mr.. Buchanan broke the news as
gently as possible to the nieces and
consulted with them and Mrs. Mil
burn as to the best course to pursue
in breaking the news to Mrs. McKin-
ley. 1t was finally decided that on her
awakening or shortly thereafter Mr..
Buchanan should break the news to
her, if, in the meantime her physician,
| DR.. RiXey, had not arrived.
| Mrs. Mckinley awoke from her
sleep about $3.50 o'clock. She was
feeling splendidly, she said, and at
once took up her crocheting, which,
as is well known, is one of her favor
lite diversions.
| Immediately on Mr.. Buchanan's ar
rival at the Milburn home he had tele-
phonic communication herewith cut
| off, for already there had been several
calls, and he decided on this as the
wisest course to pursue, lest Mrs. Nc
Kinley, hearing the continued ring
| ing of the telephone bell, might in
quire what it meant.
While the light of day remained
Mrs. Mckinley continued with her
crocheting, keeping to her room.
When it became dusk and the presi-
dent had not arrived, she began to
| feel anxious concerning him.

she asked one of her nieces.
There was no clock in Mrs. McKin-
| ley's room, and when it was seven
o'clock she had no idea it was so late,
and this is when she began to feel
anxious concerning her husband, for
he was due to return to Mr.. Milburn S
house about six o'clock.
At seven o'clock, DIR. Rixey arrived
at the Milburn residence. He had
been driven hurriedly down Delaware
| avenue in an open carriage. AS he
came up Mr.. Buchanan was out on the
lawn conversing with a reporter.
do you know" said Mr.. Buchanan,
II had sort of premonition of this ?
Since early morning 1 had been ex-
tremely nervous and feared that
something might go wrong. Our trip
| to the falls was uneventful, but what
| an awful sad ending to our day!"
At 1920 p. M, DR.. Rixey came out
of the house, accompanied by Col.
Webb Hayes, a son of former Presi-
dent Hayes, who is a friend of Pres
| ident Mckinley. They entered car
rage and returned to the exposition
hospital.
After DR.. Rixey had gone Director
| General Buchanan said that the doc
tor had broken the news in a most
gentle manner to Mrs. Mckinley. He
said she stood it bravely, though con-
! siderably affected.
If it was possible to bring him to
| her she wanted it done. DIR. Rixey
assured her that the president could
| be brought with safety from the ex-
position grounds, and when he left
Mr.. Milburn's it was to complete all
| arrangements for the removal of the
president.

THE ASSASSIN CONFESSES.
An Anarchist and an Admirer of EN-.
ma Goldman, Whose Teachings
Prompted the Crime.

Buffalo, Sept. Leon Czolgosz, the
accused and self-confessed assassin,
has signed a confession covering six
pages of foolscap and which states
that he is an anarchist, and that he
became an enthusiastic member of
that body through the influence of
Emma Goldman, whose writings he
had read and whose lectures he had
listened to. He denies having any
confederate, and says he decided on
the act three days ago, and bought the
revolver with which the crime was
committed in Buffalo. He has seven
brothers and sisters in Cleveland, and
the Cleveland directory has the names
of about that number living on Hos
mer street and Ackland avenue. which
adioin. Some of them are butchers
and others are employed in different
trades. He is now detained at police
headquarters pending the result of
the presidents injuries.
Czolgosz does not appear in the
least degree uneasy or penitent for
his action. He says he was induced
by his attention to Emma Goldman's
lectures and writings to decide that
the present form of government in
this country was all wrong and he
thought the best way to end it was
by killing the president. He shows no
sign of insanity, but is very reticent
about much of his career. While ac-
knowledging himself an anarchist, he
does not state to what branch of the
organization he belongs.
Prayer for the Presidents Life.

He found Ibsen a most difficult guest.
He was extremely sensitive and senti-

that had he been present the operation
would have been fraught with peril, for

BAD NAME FOR 4 BOAT.

Nothing IL ever likely to shake the
naval superstition that ships named
after things that sting are doomed to
loss, says the London Chronicle. Be-
sides the Viper and Cobra, the Serpent
was lost with nearly all her crew, the
Wasp was wrecked with heavy loss
on Tory island, and a second Wasp, a
gunboat, disappeared in a typhoon,
never to be heard of again. In con-
sequence of this double disaster to
ships named Wasp that name has been
struck out of the admiralty list of
available names. In the past we have
lost Rattlesnake, Gadfy and Hornet.
Probably new Viper and new Cobra
will be built, but should anything hap
pen to either of them the name of the
other is almost certain to be changed

sentiment that prevails afloat concern

TExAS' SANITARY METHODS.

D0t the Rangers Helped En-

Last year, says the writer Of an
article on The Texas Rangers" in
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, there
was an outbreak of smallpox in the
Mexican quarter of Laredo, and the
inhabitants would neither be vac
cinated nor would they permit the
smallpox patients among them to be
removed to the hospital: Capt. Rogers
and seven rangers were ordered to the
scene to enforce the sanitary regula-
tions. The Mexicans organized and
armed themselves to resist. AS soon
as the troop arrived in the town Capt.
Rogers, with one man, went to the
street in which smallpox patient
was located. AS he was walking up
the street he was shot from cover by
Mexican, who was promptly killed
by the private who accompanied the
captain. The sound of firing brought
the remaining rangers to the scene,
and they advanced up the street, firing
as they went. Hundreds of armed
Mexicans had gathered in the street
to kill off the hated Americans, but the
back-door exodus that accompanied
the advance of the rangers would have
ludicrous, except for the accompany
ing spectacle of the wounded Mexi-
cans, q half-dozen of whom were left
in the street after the rangers had
passed. The official report Of the affair
naively concludes: "After this the
removal of smallpox patients was IN
easy matter"

POLAR BEARS AS PETS.


Hitherto it has been supposed that
polar bears could neither be trained
nor rendered docile. but now Mr..
Richard Sawade, a well-known Euro-
pean tanner of animals and a notable
authority ON bears in particular,
shows clearly that such a s"pposi-
tion is entirely erroneous, says tho

A FLORAL WONDER.

Daioy.S

The newest floral wonder il the
Shasta daisy" originated by flower
grower of California. It measures a
foot in circumference, and when one
was exhibited recently in a florists
window in San Francisco, people lit
orally focked to see it, says the Phila-
delphia Saturday Evening Post.
1t is really new kind of flower,
and has been produced by several
years of crossing and selection, three
different kinds of daisies being used
the common American species, the
larger and coarser European sort and
the japanese daisy.
There are three rows of petals of
the purest white, and each blossom is
upheld by single strong and wiry
stem which is nearly two feet long.
One advantage of the Shasta daisy
is said to be that it is exceedingly
hardy, enduring much cold, so that it
can be grown out-of-doors. 1t is
claimed that it prospers in almost any
kind of soil, blooms all summer long
Tin California nearly all the year
round) and may be rapidly multiplied
by dividing the roots.
A popularity of this new and beauti-
full blossom is that it sometimes shows
colors, indicating that daisies Of vari-
Gus hues and of gigantic size may be
placed on the market before long.

Nice Nay Cause Baldne.s

A barber had been giving the writer
much information about the hair, and
then remarked that not long since
quite young man had come into his
shop who had lost all his hair. It had
come of very suddenly and for no ap-
parent reason, says the London Spec
tator. The barber said: "You have
cat?" NO." he replied, 1--WE have no
cat in the house" "Then you have q
terrier that catches mice, and it comes
in contact with your head?" YES"
said the man, II have; and its favorits
seat is on the top of my armchair,

then explained that his sudden bald
ness was disease belonging to mice,

touched them. Whether there il any

Many readers who do not follow the
literature of engineering will be in
terested in the statement that one of
the methods employed by American
engineers in forming reservoir dams
is to call in the services of powerful
jet of water, a. in hydraulic mining.
By directing such jet against the up
per slopes of valley, the sand, soil
and gravel secured from the hillsides
can be carried BY the force of the
stream to the site of the dam in the
lower part of the valley. BY suitable
management, the water not only con-
veys the materials but consolidates
them in position, dropping the larger
stones at the sides and carrying the
finer material to the center of the

It is said that fully 100000 women
are employed in the western states as
harvest aborers and general farm
hands. This is accounted for by the
numerous Improvements in agricultu-
raj machinery, which enable a woman
to do the work as easily as a man, and
also by the large number of women
who own farms and manage them
themselves. This is especially true in
Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska and
Minnesota, where there are farms of
1000 acres belonging to women. Per-
sons who are acquainted with life in
these states assert that in many cases
the women make more money out of
the farms than did the husbands or
fathers from whom they inherited
them.
