MRS. NATION WRITES
Her Btdy in Prison, but Her Soul
Unconquerable.
THE ONLY WAY
She Tells Minneapolis tSympnth fzers
That Other Temperance Plans
Are Useless.

Carrie Nation has broken the silence CT
her prison cell at Topeka. Kan, to write
to. Minneapolis friends regarding her pre-
dicament. Sustained and soothed by an
unfaltering belief that her cause is just,
''oer all the ills of life triumphant" she
is patiently awaiting her release from
prison. when she will commence her cam
paign against the saloon with renewed
activity.
Mrs. Nation was about to come to Min
neapolis ten days ago when Jailed in Kan
sas on an old charge of malicious destruc-
ton of property. Writing to Samuel
Potts, of 205 New York Life building, of
the Central Prohibition club. she gives
the reasons for her unavoidable detention.
In Characteristic vein, She says
The sixteenth was put away for thirty
days with $500, fine and about $50 costs. This
is no hardship for me for hope the people
will wake up to the fact that women are put
in Jail and men are allowed to open the gates
of hell in Kansas because the republican
party and the brewers are determined that
law shall not be enforced.

The state music teachers enjoyed to the
fullest extent the treat of concert by
the Kneisel quartet last night in St. Paul,
which was the closing feature. of their
convention. The quartet was selected as
the treat of the convention because no
greater organization exists in this coun-
try and among quartets none greater ex-
lists anywhere, The quartet is celebrated
for all of the points that distinguish quar-
tet play, pre- eminently for perfection
of finish and absolute ensemble.
The Minneapolis concert by the quartet
will be given o-night at the Lyceum
theater. 1t will be the closing entertain-
ment of the Teachers Club course, and
will be noteworthy event socially and
unsteady. The program will include a
violincello solo by Alvin Schroeder, ac-
companied by Emil ODER Hoffer.

Georqe Washinqton's Relation.

A New York Tribune correspondent
writing from Washington arrays all
the historical evidence at hand and
concludes that the first president was
not a communicate of any religious
body. A leading quotation, that from
Robert Dale Owen, seems to convey
the spirit of the whole communica-
ton: when I spoke of Washington's
deathbed, l had the account of an
eyewitness lying before me. And most
strongly does that corroborate my
opinion that Washington's religion
was of the most liberal stamp. No
clergyman around his deathbed. No
protestations that in the dying hour
religion afforded him aid. No praying.
No repeating of texts. No asking for
a Bible to read chapter. The Father
of His Country died the death Of a
patriot; he died as he had lived, in
dignity and peace; but he left behind
him not one word to warrant the be-
lief that he was other than sincere
Deist."

sShipbuildIna In Virginia.

In the Census Bulletin of May 9Th
on manufactures is pointed out that
between 1890 and 1900 Virginia ad.
vanced from a position of compare
lively small importance to place
among the leading shipbuilding states.
It will doubtless be surprise to
most of our readers to know that in
1900 Virginia was the first state in
the amount of capital invested in this
industry, third in the number Of wage.
earners and wages paid, and fourth in
the value of products. Its capital in
vested in shipbuilding increased from
less than a third of million dollars
in 1890 to nearly 100000 in 1900,
which is two and one-third times as
great as the entire capital invested
in the shipbuilding industry in New
England, more than double the capt.
tai 80 invested on the Pacific coast,
and almost equal to the entire amount
of capital invested in shipbuilding on
the great lakes.-Richmond Times.

Dramatic Oath-Taking.

At a memorable gathering, attend
ed by Henry ILL.,, the prelates and bar
ons of England, each bearing lighted
taper, encircled the king while the
curse of heaven was invoked by the
archbishop Of Canterbury on those
who in future should in any respect
violate the two charters (the Magma
Charta and the Charta de Foresta).
Hands were lifted in air and brows
barred, and "the tapers were them ex-
tinguished and thrown, shrinking and
smoking, on the ground and the dire
malediction uttered that the souls of
every one who infringed the charters
might thus be extinguished and stink
and smoke in hell" Weirdly i'm
pressive in it's rude fervor. the cpl
sode was made additionally striking
by the action of the King, who closed
the ceremony by declaring these
words: $50 may God help me, N will
inviolably observe all these things, as
| am a man and a Christian, knight
and a crowned and anointed king"

Roosevelt and the Detectives.

Secretary Cortelyou and the secret
service officials arrange all kinds of
plans to prevent President Roosevelt
exposing himself in public too much, "
said White House policeman, 'but
he knocks all their plans in the head
when they least expect it. When he
is about to start away on a trip the
White House landau is always brought
up to the door, closed. President Nc
Kinley generally preferred to ride in a
closed vehicle. President Roosevelt
won't have it that way on fine, clear
day, and every time he walks out on
the portico and sees the landau closed
he gives orders to have it opened.
He waits until that is done and then
gets in and rides down the avenue,
or wherever he is going, without any
obstruction whatever to his view. He
often outwits the detectives by getting
away for walks or drives without their
being any the wiser or without their
being able to follow him. He doesn't
tell anybody that he is going out,
and the first the secret service man
around the White House knows is
when he sees the president swinging
off down the walks on his way out
of the grounds" ..g;4.:

Few brides would care to follow q

Guard American Statesmen.

Exceeding care is taken by the
members of the Senate to prevent
some crank from attempting to wipe
that body out of existence at one fell
swoop The doorkeepers have special
instructions on this point. Every per-
son who enters the public galleries is
closely scrutinized. Visitors can carry
no packages whatever, because 1t is
feared the bundles may contain bombs
or other internal machines which could
be hurled with deadly effect into the
chamber.
During the recent rush of visitors to
Washington the guards had lively ex-
periences with the amateur photog-
raphers. Every day dozens of tourists
were barred out because they had
| their cameras with them. The guards
admit that the Senators have no OBJ
lection to having their pictures taken,
but they say there is danger of some
dangerous missile being concealed in
the cameras, so they cannot take the
risk of permitting them in the CALLER
les. AS the guards refuse to be re-
sponsible for packages left with them
the fears of the senators result in cut
ting down their audiences. During a
recent exciting and prolonged session
of the Senate several young women
who did not wish to miss any of the
interesting debate sent out for some
luncheon. The guard stopped the mes
senger on his return. He explained
that the package contained things
which were dangerous only when ia

Land Stolen by the Sea.

steady and disastrous eating away Of
the coast line of England by the en-
crcaching sea, and it is stated that
the annual loss of area by coast eros.
ion in England alone is probably not
less than 1000 acres.
On the other hand, marsh lands
have been drained and other lands
reclaimed, but these areas are insig-
nificant as compared with those which
have been lost.
Parts of the lost lands were low-ly-

which were eventually preached; 9TH

Paul Marrok, who loved Claudia
vanalster, was a young lawyer of
Smithville, Smith county, Iowa. Like
iother young lawyers, he wore his hair
something longer than fashion de-
manded, brushed it straight back to
show his forehead, practiced oratory a
good deal and had dreams Of the Unit
ed States Congress. He was OF good
habits and in good practice, though
with an Unborn tendency to be cratic,
and felt himself we'll able to marry.
James Bowen, who loved Claudia
Vanalster, was commonly called
"Jim," which is to say that he was
'freckled, sturdy, Straightforward and
good-humored. He owned his lathers
farm, ran it on the diversified crops
system, loved animals, drove good
horse and had money in the bank.
Very open and unwily was "Jim."
He did not expect to win the girl, but
wooed her in his own earnest fashion,
and If she preferred another he was
prepared to wish her joy and get over
his trouble in the best way he could.
Claudia Vanalster, who loved Meth
