New Faces ON Postal Issues.

Within a short time two new faces
will appear upon the postal issues OF
the United States. One cf them is n
postal card officially known as the
Mckinley card" and a postage stamp
of the new denomination OF 3 cents,
having as Its central picture the like
ness of former President Harrison, will
follow soon after.
The new card has a medallion at the
upper left hand corner precisely Of the
same size as the oval at the right con
tanning the portrait OF President Me-
Kinley. The medallion contains n fig
ure OF an eagle with outstretched
wings. and bearing In It's claws a bun
die Of arrows and an olive branch. Al
together the design is very attractive,
and the card Will be the finest ever pro-
duced by this government.
The department has finally decided
that the portrait Of a woman shall
adorn one OF the stamps OF the new
series. although what distinguished
American now represented upon the
postal issues shall suffer retirement to
make way for the lady has not been
determined.
Long hours have been spent by OFF,
cials In the department In the effort to
hit upon a woman In every way suit
able and satisfactory. No decision has
been reached. but n point has been
settled; she must have been a married
woman. Although there are objections
to her. the indications point to the final
selection OF Martha Washington.

Recent disturbances by volcanic

When the summer days bring waves
of heat across the stretches of hot sod.
then the residents of the prairie West
begin to cast their eyes to the wind

ton of the clouds, ana he who could
not distinguish a cyclone bank from
any other Is indeed a tenderfoot. Then
the cry of warning Is carried across the
plains and the members OF every fam.
lily make for their cyclone cellars.
These cellars differ In various COM
munities. The popular cyclone cellar
on the plains of western Kansas, where
cyclones a few years ago were almost
a daily occurrence, are ordinary sod
houses, built low and strong. ~
In the Russian communities of Kan
sas these cyclone houses serve as the
family residence the year around. They
are about seven feet high, and built ex-
ceptionally strong. The roofs are slant
ing, and the houses are set to the wind,
that is, the ends are faced toward the
east and west.
In Oklahoma every farmhouse Is
backed up by a cave, a hole dug into
the ground. and covered by an earthen
roof. Some farmers have gone so far
in protecting themselves against cy.
clones that they have e small cannon
loaded with salt and buckshot, which
is fired into the whirling clouds as they
approach. This has been known to
turn the course of a storm. 1t Is a
common event to dismiss school on the
plains of Oklahoma when a bank of
clouds begins to arise In the southwest.

MARQUIS large Spanish es-
tate. Since then in every city he has
visited his life has been one of per-
petual terror, and murderous assaults
have been made on him.
The Spanish estate is valued at ST.
10000 and belonged to another branch
of the marquis family. Before setting
out on his quest for the lost papers,
which had been stolen from the Catta-
PAM home in Italy, he employed French
detectives. These. after a time, sum-
moned him to London, believing that
they had located the papers there. The
marquis was then at Monte Carlo. One
night before he set out for London he
was fired IN. The incident did not
greatly alarm him, as he was then ig-
norant of the conspiracy against his
life.
On reaching London he received an
anony inous letter ia spanish, tnleat-
ening him with death of he p%ersevered
In his efforts to secure the estate. He
laid the matter before the Italian am
bassador, but no clew could be found
to those who threatened his life. A lit
tie later, while in Birmingham, he was
assaulted by three men ON one of the
streets of the city. He was found,
later, lying on the pavement uncon-
scious. When he recovered he returned
to London and there received word
from one of his detectives in New York
to proceed at n ce to that city. APP
parently his enemies learned of his in
tention Of sailing for the new world,
for a few nights before his departure
he was assaulted in his room. His as
sailants bound and gagged him and
then tied him securely to the bed, after
which they lighted a fire in the CRATE
and turned on the 4as at full pressure.
Meantime they had rapsacked his pa
pers. Fortunately tasStIwe,tor of the
building smelled the gas and traced
Its escape to- its source In time to re-
lease the marquis.
During April, 15O1: fe 'marquis sailed
for New York and took up his quarters
well uptown. Here, one day, he re-
ceived a letter asking him to meet the
N -
writer at South Ferry and take his
papers along. The letter went on to
state that IL the marquis claims were
well founded he could have the missing
papers then and there.
On reaching South Ferry he saw n
carriage in waiting and was Invited by
two men to step in and drive with
them to an Office where the matter
could be arranged. This was at 10
o'clock on a Monday morning and when
again the marquis was. conscious of
anything 1t was Friday might and he
found himself lying in bed in a hut,
near what he subsequently found was
Prospect Park, Brooklyn. When he en-
tered the carriage he was apparently
hit in the head by some weapon. for
he carries a scar as a memento of the
occasion. He belieyes he was also
drugged.
When he regalned consciousness In
the hut he heard voices In an adjoining
room and heard the question of his kill
Ing discussed. This thoroughly aroused
him and he made his escape through a
window. Subsequently he tried to find
the hut. hut failed. The police were
also unable to solve the mystery.
The marquis has not yet found the
lost papers and apparently Is as far
from attaining the Spanish estate as
ever.

WITH NEW YORK FASHIONABLE WOMEN
Lucy Carter Writes Ofthe Fashionable Styles,
Pure White PredOminating.

One of the most salient features in
dress, is the great predominance of
white. Pure white for morning, is
usually in pique or canvas, which has
brought about a general preference
for skirts to match in color, the indie
pendent waists of the season, or for
entire dresses. rather than the con-
trast of black skirt bringing into re-
lief, the gay or delicately toned waist.
The latter 1t is true, still is seen, but
to very limited extent, compared
with the former. Thus with rather
heavy morning skirts of pique and
other substantial materials, are seen
the lightest possible waists, many
showing lace insertions between sheer
white goods.

SHERIFF REEDY PREPARES
TO CLAIM A LONGER TERM
ECHOES OF THE KENT COUNTY STEAL BY
DEMOCRATS IN ELECTION OF 30.
Sheriff Claims lie Has a Right of Continuance
in Office for Another Term of Two Years
Ending December 1904.

The general election of 1896, which
was held up in Kent county by the
Democrats, was thought tohave passed
into history, but it is now about to
become a subject of litigation.
Sheriff Frank Reedy, who was elect
ed to the Office of sheriff of Kent coun-
ty in 1896 by majority of 455, as was
subsequently developed in the returns
counted out by the Supreme Courts
edict, nearly two years after the cleo
tiOn, made no claim to the lucrative
Office upon the announcement of the
official count, his party having COM
pleted its ticket about then to be
voted for, with John B. Wharton as
candidate for sheriff In 1900, how
ever, Mr.. Reedy went before the coun-
ty convention and stood for another
nomination, canvassed and stood for
another election, in which he was sue
cessful by over 100 votes.
Now Sheriff Reedy is preparing to
make the claim that the term of offise
which he will have completed on De-
cember 81 of this year, is that for
which he was elected in 1896, while
the term of Office beginning January
1, 1903, and continuing until Decem-
Der 81, 1904, is the term for which he
was elected in 1900.
The claim, If sustained in any meas
ure, will cause shake-up in politics
and county affairs such as has not
been experienced here since 1896.
When the sheriff's intention first be-
came known it was treated as a joke,
but asked concerning the matter
Wednesday he replied:
81 certainly intend to claim a right
of continuance in office for another
term of two years, having twice had
to canvass and twice carry an election
of the qualified voters of this county.
The time which was occupied by liti-
cation in the matter is as no time,
and must be taken off. I am not pre-
pared TO say or disclose my discourse
as definitely outlined"
1t is said that the sheriff may claim
a denomination at the hands of his
county convention, to avoid litigation,
or may hold his Office and refuse to
vacate.

The twentieth annual General Confer

by D. L. Moody about the same time
as the founding of the Northfeld Sem
mary and Mt. Hermon School. The
attendance of the conference has
steadily increased and the quality of
the speaking has in no way deteriorat-

Moody. Mortified is famed as q re-

study is held there. Lectures and dis
courses on the Bible average over two
a day for every day of the year. The
younger generation of Moody's have
proved themselves worthy of the great
work begun by their father, and the
call for the Conference this year is
signed by W. R. Moody, the eldest
son of D. L. Moody. The invitation
reads in part as follows:
Dear Friends and Fellow Workers;
To maintain the catholic spirit of
Christian teaching it is essential that
equal emphasis be placed upon coor-
dinate truths. Heresy has often Origi-
mated by giving undue prominence to
one truth to the neglect of others, and
doctrines. Thus faith and works must

testified to new joys. With this end
in view, courses in Bible study upon
the Minor Prophets conducted by Rev.
g. Campbell Morgan; institutes for
specialists, and lectures upon other
subjects of interest to Christian work
ers have been arranged"

WITH KENT COUNTY DEMOCRATS.
Chairman McFarlane Decides not 10 Call q

frlmafy EleCtlOn al present.
Chairman McFarlane and the Kent
County Democratic Executive Com
mittee have decided not to call a pri-
mary election for the choosing of state
convention delegates for the state con-
vention recently changed to September
13.
1t was thought only respectful to
allow this matter to hold over until
after August 5, when the Kent county
convention will be held at Dover and
at which assemblage the county ex-
ecutive committee for the ensuing
campaign and two years will be chosen.
The committee is anticipating a big
Democratic vote at the primaries for
the county convention and Legislative
convention to be held at the various
voting places on Saturday, August 2,
and which will be the first preliminary
election to the 1902 campaign held in
Delaware. The big vote is expected
because it will be the first general
registration day and both the election
and the registration, the Democrats
predict, will serve to help each other.
