To snfte His Creditora

A nobleman in Madrid, after spending
his fortune and getting deeply into debt,
lost his wife. His friends advised him
10 marry rich bride, but to the dismay
Of his creditors he married a poor wo-

answered: For revenge. To make my
rascally creditors rave"

A writer, Tolstoi thinks, ought to feel
the public's pulse. He is fond of tell
ing the following story of two Ameri-
can girls who came to see him in Mos
COW, says London NJ. A. 2. They had
Travelled around the world, starting
from New York in opposite directions
TO meet again in Moscow for the ex-
press purpose Of calling upon him,
When they had finished, TOlstoi didn't
know anything more gallant to say
than:
well, ladies, l think you might have
employed your time to better purpose"
AS he spoke he felt the rudeness Of
the remark and was about to add some
excuses when one Of the young ladies
cried:
"Ah, how much like Leo Tolstoi! l
was ready to bet that you would say
something of this sort"
And they went away as happy as

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

A hard wind will dry out the roots OF
trees very rapidly.
In setting out trees be sure that no
air spaces are left around the roots.
Plants cannot live without leaves.
Sooner or later they will suffocate, as
plants breathe through their leaves.
Cut off the sprouts that spring up at
the base of the fruit trees, plum trees
especially. They are, to say the least,
unsightly.
All winter and early spring pruning
causes a more exuberant growth in the
parts remaining. Summer pruning,
however, checks growth.
Spraying with a solution made by
dissolving an ounce of sulphide Of pot
ash IN four gallons of water Is recon-
mended for all kinds of mildew.
1t requires plenty of sunlight to pro-
duce fine apples, peaches, pears, plums
and other fruits. Prune so as to let
the sun shine among the branches.
When and How to Paint.
The best time of the year to paint Is
when the spring rains are over and the
wood is dry, but before flies get too
plenty. After the bulk of flies are gone
in the fall is also a good time. Most
farm buildings can be painted by the
owner or farm hands without employ
ing an experienced painter at high
wages. In applying the paint the two
important points TO bear in mind are
to have 1t Of the right consistency and
to spread 1t thin and evenly. Always
hold the brush and hand at right an
giles to the material which you are
painting and do not be afraid to use
plenty OF elbow grease to brush in the
paint. The most durable paint for out
door work is pure white lead and raw
linseed oil.

WASHINGTON, September 17.-The
last chapter of the sad ceremonial the
removal of the remains of the late
President to the grave at his old home
at Canton, Ohio, began at 500 o'clock
tonight when the funeral train left
here over the Pennsylvania railroad.
Thirty minutes was required for the
removal of the body from the Capitol
to the train. The escort consisted of
committees from the army and navy
and two squadrons of the Eleventh
cavalry. Not a drum was heard nor a
funeral note. Nor was there a sound
from the crowd which lined the broad
street.
At the railroad sation there was a
dense tnrong. The casket was covered
with floral emblems. No less than
twenty cars were required for the trans
portation of the funeral party to Can
ton. Tomorrow still another train will
carry to Canton large party of SEN
ators and representatives and others

The second section was the presiden-

THE LAST SAD JOURNEY,
WASHINGTON TO CANTON,

Just before o'clock Mrs. Mckinley
was driven to the station. Fearing the
firing effect of the long walk from the
carriage entrence to the car set apart
for her next to the head of the train, a
rolling chair had been provided for
her She declined this. however, and
walked with surprising firmness to her
place, assisted by Abner Mckinley and
DR.. Rixey. 1t was $40 o'clock when
this section steamed away. The obser-
walton car bearing the remains was
flooded with night. Through its crys-
tai sides could be seen the draped cas-
ket with its mass of rare blossoms so
arranged that even as the train swept
through the night the people in the
country it passed through might gaze
on the sight of the casket with a SOL
der standing grim at the head and a
sailor carrying his cutlass upon his
shoulder at the foot. A guard of SOL
diers and sailors occupied the plat
forms and between them at the rear
was a mammoth wreath six feet in
diameter Oh rare orchids and laurels.
Ten minutes later the third section
sped away.
HARRISBURG, Pa, September H.
Harrisburg was not reached until af-
ter midnight but the crowd was enor-
nous and the scene impressive. The
train stopped several minutes while
crews and engines were changed and
the multitude had an excellent opppor-
tunity to see the guarded casket, re-
vealed as by flood of day in the bril-
liantly lighted car.
The next stop will be at Altoona,
which will be reached at 5:25 a. m.
At every town and at many cross
roads and points of vantage in the
country along the railroad from Wash
ing ton to this city, people were stand
ing with barred heads to catch a glimpse
of the trains and the flag and flower
covered casket.

PITTSBURG, Pa. September 17.-After
taking tirle to think it over, President
Shaffer has announced that there will be
no public statement of the terms of settle
ment.
He also decided to issue a circular Civ
Ing the terms to all the lodges. The large
majority of strikers have returned to
work.
Geenral conditions in the mills have
improved in "a hours. 1t was officially an
nounced that nine of the twelve butt weld
furnaces and three of the six lap weld
furnaces of the National Tube company
in McKeesport Were started today. The
Continental. Elba, and Pennsylvania
works of the tube company started today.
The American Tin Plate company report
ed that all of it's active plants except
those in Atlantic, Ind; Joliet, ILL.,, Johns
town, Pa, and Canal Dover, have been
placed in operation. In addition to these
four mills of the Star plant and four
mills of the Monongahela plant are run
ming, as well as eight mills at the DENIM
Ter plant and all of the Monessen plant
The American Sheet Steel company
started uD it's union plants as follows
The Standard plant, Cambridge, O. :;
New Philadelphia. O.; Muncie Ind Piqua
O.; Miles, o., and the Dresden, O., plant
will be started tomorrow. The Canal Do
yer plant has five of the ten mills operat-
ing. The strikers who are stfll idle have
been ordered to apply as individuals. All
of the hoop plants are running full The
New Castle plant of the National Steel
company started in full today This was
the first plant called out after the gen.
eral strike order was issued. The Ma
tional steel plants in Belaire and Mingo
Junction are the only plants of that COM
pany new idle. The Riverside plant of the
National Tube company is the only plant
of that company that is wholly idle.
The greatest trou Die seems to be pre-
dicted in the plants of the American Tin
Plate company, that have been conceded
by President Shaffer as non-union The
men in those plants take their defeat very
hard and many had determined to remain
idle or get other employment rather than
go BACK unless their union is recognized.
1t is probable that the Monongahela and
Star mills and the Demmler mills in Nc
keespJort will be the last to get start
ed
A large meeting of tin men from the
Monongahela, Star, Demmler and New
Kensngton was held this evening. Pres
ident Shaffer was invited but failed to
appear A committee was appointed to
get statement and the NJ citing adjourn
ed until tomorrow. The men are deter
mined to not go into a non-union mill,
and they may decide to continue the
strike independently. The arrangement
under which the men a the Republic and
the Elba plants of the National Tube
company return to work is a victory for
the men.
The arrangements provide that the
Amalgamated strikers shall all be taken
back as union men, and that the mills,
as heretofore. shall be controlled by the
Amalgamated Association. Both of these
mills are said to have been lost to the
association.

RAILROAD TAXATION.

The municipal government of Pales-
tine. Texas, is wrestling with a new
phase of the question of railroad taxa
ticn and one that has set the railroad
companies having headquarters in
Texas cities on the qui vive. Palestine
has decided to see what it can do in
the way of making the railroads pay
taxes for municipal purposes and is
seeking to levy taxes on all the rolling
stock of the International & Great
Northern road, because its headquar-
tiers are in that city and the property
proposed to be taxed is not and cannot
be assessed by any other city in the
State.
Such action has been in contempla-
ton for some time, but now it is about
tC develop into something tangible.
The board of equalization of that city
has decided that all the rolling stock
Of the International & Great Northern
Company, whether in or out of the
CITY, rs ldAdDlt O4 IuF Nlly IOlio' Tia B.,
being the general headquarters of the
road. and, consequently, the natural
home of such rolling stock.
That phase of the question being de-
termined by the board of equalization
to It's own satisfaction, the body is now
in session fixing the valuation of the
property Of the road, which heretofore
has been taxed only in a general way,
that is, in the counties through which
the road runs, and not specifically as
| sessed and taxed in any city.
Under the present construction of
the laws of Texas governing taxation,
the rolling stock of railroads is not
| subject to municipal taxation in ad.
dition to the State and county tax.
Texas authorities are u4certsin
quantities, like Texas lawmakers and
are apt to get IN solar plexus on the
big corporations while they are NOT
looking. Hence the railroads are

SEVERAL WERE SEVERELY HURT

WASHINGTON, D. c., September II.
Just at one o'clock a frightful calam-
ity was narrowly averted at the east
front of the capitol. For hours the
vast throng of people had been massed
in front of the capitol awaiting an OPP
portunity to enter the rotunda. When
the doors were opened the first of thou
sands of people rushed almost fran
tically to the main staircase. The po-
lice and military guards were swept
aside and almost in a twinkling there
was a tremendous crush at the foot of
the great staircase. The immense
throng swept backward and forward
