Gentleman.

There is probably but one definition
of the word gentleman" yet there
are many ways of expressing that de-
finition. Thackeray gives perhaps the
most direct and pleasing expression OF
the word in the following: ITO be a
gentleman is to be honest, to be gentle,
| TO he generous, to be brave, to be wise,
| and, possessing all these qualities, to
use them in the most graceful outward
manner"
At another time the great novelist de-
fines Il gentleman in these words
Perhaps a gentleman is rarer man
than some of us think. Which Of us
can point out many such I'm his circle;
men whose aims are generous; whose
truth in not only constant in its kind,
but elevated in it's degree; whose want
of meanness makes them simple; who
can look the world honestly in the face
with an equal manly sympathy for the
great and the small?'
Huxley defines the word in this man
ner:
"ThOughtfulness for others, generOS-
ity. mOdesty and self-respcct are the
qualities which make a real gentleman
or lady, as distinguished from the We
neered article which commonly goes by
that name

IF there is any applause or disorder
the sergeant-at-arms will clear the gall
leries." This was Vice-President Roose-
velt's stern announcement as he took his
place 10 preside over the Senate on We'd
nesday and raped sharply with his
gavel. 1t was called out by the burst of
applause which followed his entrance into
the chamber. Applause'is strictly forbid
den by the rules of the Senate, and the
new Fice-President does not propose to
allow the rules to bo violated even by
persons who wish to show their appre-
citation of himself Mr. Morgan (Ala.),
who on Tuesday offered n resolution de-
claring the abrogation of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty between the United States

were particularly sharp.
Senator Frye of Maine was on Thurs

The Senate was all ready to close its
extra session on Friday, but held over
a day to permit Mr.. Mitchell of Oregon
to arrive and take the oath of office. A
small amount of routine business was
done.
After proceedings lasting only six days
the extraordinary session of the Senate
was declared adjourned sine die at 10
p. m. Saturday. During the session prac-
tically no business except that of an
executive character was transacted. The
session was called by the President in
order that the Senate might have an
opportunity to confirm appointments
made at the beginning of the new adj
ministration. That business accom-
plished, there was nothing further for the
Senate to DO. At the opening of Sat
hrday's session the President pro tenn.
Senator Frye of Maine, was indicted into
office, the oath being administered by
Vice President Roosevelt. John ii.

hest thing TO take. The people have
now become unanimous in their de
cision that as spring tonic and restOr-
alive, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy is pre-eminently the
best.
Year after year DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy has proved
itself the surest, most positive and reli-
able remedy. Made from pure vegeta-
bic medicines, it invariably cleanses,
purities and enriches the blood, making
the blood rich and red, and ut the same
time by its invigOrating effects, giving
strength, power, vitality and energy to
the nerves.
In fact, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy has proved itself the
most perfect of medicines and just
what everybody needs for a spring
remedy. Try it this spring.

DIE In AN EXPLOSION.
MANY KILLED IN CHICAGO BY
BURSTING BOILER.
Twelve Dead and Over Score In
jured, Some FataiIy-Disaster Occurs
in Big Laundry, and Completely
Wrecks the Entire building.

The boiler in the Doremus laundry, at
4oS West Madison street, Chicago, eX-
ploded Monday morning, killing twelve
persons, injuring thirty more, and wreck
ing the entire block of buildings on the
south side of Madison street, from Loom
is street TO Throop. With the exception
of the barracks of the Volunteers OF
America, in the middle of the block, next
to the laundry, the structures We're one
story high, with thin partitions between
the stores, and with back doors opening
into an alley. The barracks is two stories
high. Candy stores, secondhand stores,
Chinese laundries, feed stores, tailor
shops, a rife gallery, a bicycle store, and
a shoe store occupied the rest of the
block. Back of them in the southwest
corner of the building was the boiler.
The proprietors of these places were
getting ready for the days business.
Thirty-six of the sixty girls employed in
the laundry had passed the automatic
timekeeper.> The boiler was holding al
most the full pressure of steam and the
girls in the place were sorting out the
linen for the washing A deafening roar
rang through the building. The whole
place shook as if with fright, and then
came the crunching Of timbers and the
shattering of glass. Most of the girls
had not time to move an inch. Tons of
debris crashed in upon them, and the
noise of the wrecking drowned out their
shrieks for help. Then came the hiss of
escaping steam, with its terrible menace
of scalding to those who lay helpless be-
nesth the twisted iron and broken beams.
The light wood caught fire. The big
room, which had fallen like a house of
cards, now was lighted up by slender
threads of flame which crept through the
wreckage and came closer to the manned
bodies.
Thousands of men and women rushed
to the assistance of the victims. The pO-
lice and fire departments and various
hospital corps were soon on the scene.
For two blocks up and down Madison
street buildings We're shattered by the
force of the explosion. Nearly every win
dow in these two blocks was broken and
the list of persons cut by flying glass will
amount to fifty or more. Persons who
were in bed in the near vicinity were
hurled from their beds by the force. Men
in neighboring stores were dashed to the
floors and covered with the shower of
glass. Passengers i'll street cars were
thrown violently from their seats. The
terrible roar of the mammoth boiler as it
went flying skyward and the crashing of
the walls intermingled with the shrieks
of the injured and dying.

X. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says: Little change was developed
In the condition of general business.
Ground recently gained seemed to be held
without difficulty. with a good distribu-
ton of merchandise by iobbers in most
directions and with entire absence Of
speculative activity. Conditions in iron
and steel begin to assume an appearance
similar to that of 1899 Prices have NOV
I'D upward. rapidly since the turn was
made and bids at current rates for dis
.ant delivery are often refused. Manu-
sacturers are unanimous in reporting q
great demand for domestic consumption,
while export contracts for finished forms
are still taken in competition with de-
Ginning foreign markets. Wheat is in
abundant supply, with quotations well
above last years, owing to reports that
Hessian fly promises to be unusually
troublesome, while weather conditions
are also threatening. Atlantic exports
of wheat, -four included, were 2,4I7, $50
bushels for the week. against 1,7S1, $50
bushels a year ago, while corn exports
were 1851 ,:J3S bushels, against.2, 1S3,21S
bushels in 1900. Failures for the week
were POS in the United States, against
20j last year, and % in Canad.., against

Dated Beginning of Year From

When All Things in Nature Start
Afresh-S Some Other Things in

The arcients began their year with
the advent of spring. How much more
appropriate thus 10 begin the New
Year with the new life of nature in the
awakening spring. AT this season alb
processes throughout the natural world

The ancients also showed their sf-
cacity and appreciation of the grear
changes and active processes of spring
Kline, by realizing that this is also the
time for renewed life and energy in the
human system. They well knew that
the blood should be cleansed from i'm

at this season. Hence the establish
ment of the custom of taking n good

This most sensible and healthy Gus

Will Make No Alliance with England
Against Russia,
According to a Washington correspond
ent the United States Government has
not reached an agreement with England
for the exclusion of Russia from Man
churia, and will not suggest or entertain
a proposition for such a compact with
any nation. 1t is adhering consistently
to the policy adopted at the commence
ent of the uprising to preserve the in
tegrity of the Chinese empire, and the
apprOvals given by the European nations
and Japan to the notes issued by Secre-
tary Hay convince the administration of
the sincerity with which the advances
have been received. Within the last
month it was reported that the Chinese
Government was considering individual
settlements with the nations represented
at Pekin. The United States immediate
ly protested, and addressed instructions
to our ambassadors and ministers in Eu-
rope and Japan explaining the appre-
hensiOn entertained concerning the in
furious results that would follow private
or individual negotiations, and soliciting
further expression of the policy that
would be pursued by the respective gov
ernments in the matter of territorial CON
cessions. The Chinese minister, Mr.
WI, was also advised, and he notified
his Government that the United States
would protest against any settlements
other than those reached through Joint
negotiations at Pekin. Russia has given
assurances that the occupation of Man
churia is temporary and solely for the
purpose of restoring peace and order in
the province.
The United States cannot look with
equanimity upon the separation of Man
churia from the Chinese empire, contin-
es the correspondent. Should it be
coded to Russia as indemnity, other ma
tons that participated in the relief of
Pekin will demand territory, and the par
tition of the empire would be carried to
the extent of practically obliterating it
