unloaded from the farmers wagons
onto cars.
Tobacco men say that the weed will

Verona, Italy. The finders say they

discovered other than in Italy. The
marble is certainly peculiar in its

The Womad Who Kissed Kubelik.
Topeka State Jonrnal.

Graciousi What in the world is
the matter with the women OF New
York. Mad? Yes, mad as hatters.
It is proved by the despatch An.
nouncing the fact that Jan Kubelik,
the young violinist, was mobbed by
women As he was leaving the Brooklyn
Academy of Music after his concert
last night, and before he could reach
his carriage his clothes were almost
torn away. The women wanted to
kiss him and they wanted locks of his
raven hair"
And still New York people insist on
talking about Kansas aud her fanati.
cisms. Did Kansas women ever do
anything so nonsensical and unlady-
likes No, never in the history OF the
State. The Kansas women may
smash saloons, they have q reason to.
They may work in the fields, to save
the crops. They may take a hand in
politics, in hopes Of bettering man.
kind, but they never mobbed any
poor, weak mortal OF man and kissed
him against his will and tore his raj.
ment from him. They don't have to.
They wouldn't do it anyhow. They
would 20 without kisses.
And who was the worst, Hobson
who meekly and CALAMITY submitted
to kissing bee in which he was
principal aud gave out numbers like a
barber shop, or Jan Kubelik, who
when he was being kissed out Of his
clothes cried. "Please go away, you
worry mef" Why Hobson was the
hero, of course, with the women.
How they must have hated the tousy-
haired Bohemian because he would
not STAND still and be kissed. He
really must be lacking in some way.
But one thing is certain. After such
q performance New York people should
never refer to Kansas freaks or oddi-
ties.

BIGOTRY STILL REIGNS.

ED. STANDARD:
l have just read an account OF one
Prof. Pearson being discharged from
his position because he disbelieved in
the miracles rs taught in the Bible.
Is it possible, in this country of wasted
freedom, that man can't express his
honest opinion without fear of being
reduced to penury and having every
"whippe--snapper" editor condemn
him for his honesty simply because it
is unpopular?
L take dozen papers and out OF the
lot l find one alone that applauds him
for his honesty in denoupcing the
miracle business as fraud.
wouldn't be afraid to bet everything
l have that there isn't sensible edit
or in the United States that believes
there ever was such thing as a mira
Gle, and yet they dare not come out
squarely and so express themselves for
fear OF loss of patronage. This mys-
terry, miracle and prophesy business
has got such hold on the minds OF
the people that it will take time to
eradicate it. In times past the people
all believed in phantoms in the air,
ghosts, ghouls, sprites and hobgoblins
good and bad that controlled the &C.
tions OF men, but with the advance OF
science people are learning better and
events, as a rule, are attributed to
natural causes. Our forefathers
thought an eclipse of the sun was
caused by dragon passing over his
disc, and they would beat drums and
yell themselves hoarse in order to
scare him away. They also believed
in witches and quite a number of poor
wretches were executed for the crime
OF being . witch in our own country,
and one of the leading judges said
that ITO deny witchcraft was to deny
the divine authenticity of the Scrip
lures" And he was right, for the
Bible teaches it, if it teaches anything,
and yet we know that witchcraft is q
humbug.
Now, 1 despise hyrocrite as much
as admire man who has the man.
hood to say what he thinks regardless
OF the common herd. There never
has been reformer from Giordao
Bruno down to the present time that
hasn't been misrepresentcd, maligned,
traduced and abused by the church.
Thos. Paine, who did more for the in.
dependence of the United States than
perhaps any other man, died in com.
parative obscurity and detested by the
church, and had it not been for the
patriotism OF few freethinkers .
monument would never have been
erected to his memory. The treat
ment Of Thos. Paine is stain on the
annals OF American history that can
never be bletted out.
1 think its about time this censor
ship business was stopped if we pre-.
tend to be q free people. We pro-
claim liberty Of speech and liberty OF
the press" and kick q man out of his
position for exercising this privilege.
1t is inconsistent, un.American and
devilish, and l am ready to meet any
man who says it isn't. have no Ak
to grind and owe no man any favors
that know of other than good will.

"cHAPERoNS COME TO STAY"

The Cleveland Plaindealer prints,
under the above heading, the follow.
ing screed. In this part of "the
West" at least it will be set down as
the product of some prude, written
while under the influence of a night
mare:
"Eor long time the chaperon was
an institution of purely European ex.
istence. By degrees few were given
standing in social circles at the East,
but the West resisted. insisting tina.
the daughters of the untrammeled re-
gion needed no one to guide their
footsteps Alright. Now the chaperon
has become established in every social
circle from the Great Lakes to the Pa.
cific ocean. and is recognized as hav-
ing her legitimate place. All unmar.
ried women of means and position are
now chaperoned here. Age doesn't
matter. They are spinsters-that's
enough. No tender maid of thirty
goes unattended. No single woman
OF any age goes to the theater alone
with man, anda as for buggy riding"
the custom is unknown. No girl
goes to a restaurant for lunch with a
youth she has known from the cradle.
1t would not be correct. And it
would not be entirely correct either
for her to get another girl. No; she
must have the chaperon-the tried
and seasoned veteran OF matrimony-
or else the proprietors will be split up
the back.
"The ardor with which the cult OF
the chaperon has been taken up in
the West should make the thoughtful
pause. At the rate we're going at

him OF it. In provincial France you

house OF the oyster from the stones
and eat the oyster when he can.
The lower half of an oyster shell
grows last to stone, the upper, or
thinner valve is sort of door which
the oyster opens when it wants air.
You see the oyster wears its skeleton
on the outside in the shape of its
shell, aud it seems to be only a gray
jelly itself. The shell is formed bit
by bit from the lime in the water.
When the oyster opens its shell the
fresh sea water rushes over his body,
and with his gills he extracts the
oxygen.
The gills are in the frills that en-.
circle tho oysters body. The mouth
OF an oyster is turned toward the mar
row pointed part OF the shell. Its
liver is the dark spot noticed on the
body OF fresh oyster, the heart lies
under the liver, and close by it the
stomach. An oyster lives and fattens
on the tiny sea creatures which it
finds in the sea water gulped into its
mouth.
One Of the most wonderful facts
about an oyster is the way in which
it covers any little particle of foreign
matter that gets inside of its shell
A tiny grain OF sand or a speck OF
shell between the tender pulp Of the
oyster and its shell would make il
very uncomfortable. Mr.. Bivalve has
enough sense in his pulpy mind to

An effort, made at last nights meet

lively discussion.

Sixth and Fifteenth wards, though it
may be said to be fairly within the
latter bailiwick.
The old building was generally re-

ward, but Controller Evans, of the Fiji
teenth ward, has decided this year to
make a fight for the control of the new
building.

he was being treated unjustly and be-

Religion by Rev. j. F. Beates.

Rev. j. +. Beates, of Wilkes-Barre.
who lived for some time in Utah. and
who has made a close range study of
the Mormons. delivered an interesting
lecture in the Evangelical Lutheran
church of the Holy Trinity last night,
on "Mormonism."
He discussed at some length the pc
culiar doctrine held by the Mormons.
and related a number of his personal
observations of their mode of life He
said that they are essentially religious,
but that their religion is very closely
allied with business and with search
after pleasure of all kinds. Their
whole system he declared to be an Ori-
entail despotism which should have no
place in this free country.
Their power, he said. is growing and
constitutes a menace to the civilizatio
of not only this country but of the
world. 1t may he IL long time before
they become a power he said, but if
the Mormon church continues to grow
as it is growing today such a time will
eventually come.
1t is the duty of every Christian and
of every good citizen interested in his
country's welfare to agitate and be-
gin movement to eventually put
curb and check upon the whole system.

Good Done in China.
II wish the people of America could
see through my eyes what good has
been done in China through the means
and prayers they have offered. 1t is a
great blessing to meet men and women
who are working for Christ, and |
bring to you the wishes of grace and
blessings from the churches of China.
A great change has come into the
Orient and missionary work has made
a deep and abiding mark in the king
dom and empire of Christ.
ut is a much different thing to see
the conditions through Chinese eyes
than here, as the surroundings and
circumstances under which we work
are SO different One must get a deep
understanding of their lives and con-
ditions and bring them into an under
standing with you before much can be
accomplished.
Rapid transit and the question of
trusts have been solved by them long
ago, but the trouble is Americans are
too proud to investigate how it is done
there. They bring their suburban
homes into town and plant them in
small spaces and live like bees in a
hive. Everything is run in China on
a compromise.
"Chinamen like to hear the stories in
the life of Christ. and know about God
and sin, and when you can bring them
messages of the living personal Christ
they are interested. 1t is custom of
the older people to lay aside the active
duties of life at Il certain age and
build for the life to come. ! wish there
was a tendency here in this respect. in
stead of the rushing life you lead,
wherein there is so little leisure to build
for the life to come.
God has helped His church in west
ern China and is keeping it up there,
and out of the Boxer movement has
come wonderful change and an open
door to religious work. More mission
aries are needed there to carry on the
work. and men, women. schools and
hospitals are needed. together with
money, to forward the cause of Christ"
