Women and Jewels.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man-that

Jewels form a magnet Of mighty

make or save the money to purchase
them. II a woman will risk her

BECAUSE HE LOVED HER SISTER.
A Io.Year.0ld Girl Killed Herself 10
Parkersburg, W. Va.

Parkersburg, W. Va, Dec. 6 Miss
Lottie Ressenger, 16 years old and
pretty, shot and killed herself to day
when told that the marriage would
soon take place Of John Ingalls, and
her sister. None of the members OF
the family was more saddened by the
girls death than Ingalls,, who did
not share the girls secret, The
young girl had kept it even from her
mother,
Miss Ressenger was much younger
than Ingalls, and hld been petted
by him while he was calling upon her
older sister, Nancy Messenger. The
girl had developed n deep love for
him which she had carefully avoided
showing. A school girl with whom
she was very friendly was the only
one she told of her affection. This
gill, Ora Nevius, told the mother.
Then was explained why Lottie had
always opposed her sisters marriage
to Ingalls,. The opposition the fam
lily had never been able to explain,
although Lottie had said she disliked
Ingalls,, that Ingalls, was not tie
kind of man for Nancy to marry.
Iugalls was grieved by this apparent
Indifference Of the girl to him.
Pretty and unusually sensitive,
Lottie could no longer sustain the
burden OF her secret to-day when SHE
learned Of her sisters approaching
marriage. She ran to her room and
locked the door. A pistol report was
heard a few moments later. She was
dead when found, with the pistol
clasped in her Eand.

ARMY'S NEW UNIFORMS.
TniIBrs Are Forced to Seek the Goods
In Europe and Complications
Result.

The adoption ofthe olive drab color
for the unifIm of the army to dis
place the regulation blue has resulted
in curious complication which prom
ises to make the cost Of the new uni
forms higher than ever.
The trouble now is the inability Of
the mill that made the original annie
to supply the material IL sufficient
quantities 10 meet the demand within
the time the department requires the
officers to be supplied. The natural re-
suit has been that several military
tailors have been forced to seek goods
in European markets.
The expense Of importing overcoat-
ing prevents the tailor from making
that garment for less than $50, which is
500 more than would have been paid for
the coat If made with American goods.
The same ratio of increase applies to
the lighter goods for the uniform.
The circumstance is regretted by
both the officer and the tailor. The
officer cannot reasonably expect to
Willingly pay an increase of 80 1-3 per
cent. for his outfit without good rea-
son, and the tailors fear that their posi-
tions win not he clearly understood,
and that their customers may think
they are taking undue advantage Of
the conditions.

THE OIL SUPPLY OF RUSSIA.
Country Is Larger Than That
of America.

A bulletin issued by the United
States geological survey on the sub
Jet OF Russian and American petrole-
UNI production says since 1897 Russia
has produced more petroleum than the
United States. Last year the outputin
Russia was $4,000. 600 barrels and in the
United States $4,000, 900 barrels. The
facilities for handling the large Rus
sian product are at present crude, cost
ly and wasteful. The markets are far
away from the production. 1t is said
that three and one-half barrels of oil
equals one ton of Russian coal. which
is high-priced and inferior in quality.
II is the irregular supply and the fiuc-
tuating price which interfere with the
sale Of larger quantities of fuel OIL in
the great interior of Russia.
During 1900 Russia produced about
17,s00,0 short tons of coal, the higher
grades of which sell from 81 to IS per
ton. During the same year the United
States produced about 27O, coo, 900 short
tons of coal. All the countries border
ing on the Mediterranean are poorly
supplied with fuel. Two-thirds of the
total production of oil at Raku, about
sl,0OO,0OO barrels in 1901, now find a
market as fuel oil. The total petrole-
um exports from Russia in 1901 were
42S,6s7,210 gallons. and from the United
States during the same year LOGS, 7jO,-

JllTEO ACTRESS GETS EVEN.
Prince Mirko's Love Letters Likely tO
Ruin HIS Prospects of Becon-
ing King.

Vienna, Dec. 3.-Some stolen love
letters may cost Prince Mirko, second
son of the reigning prince of Mon
tenegro, his cherished ambition to
ascend the Servian throne. for which,
in the event of King Alexander hav-
ing no heir, he is ii strong candidate.
Prior to Prince Mirko's marriage
last July with Natalie Constantine
witch, daughter of the grand uncle of
King Alexander, he had love affair
with Servian actress and wrote
many letters containing criticisms
on the policy of several European
states. The car and German en-
peror were especially hard hit, while
the Servian people were slightingly
and scornfully referred to. These let
tiers are now in the hands of the
Servian government.

10 SEIZE CUSTOM HOUSES
Germany Is Pressing Venezuela
for an Immediate Payment
Of Claims.
TOTAL DEMAND ABOUT $4,000, 900.
President Castro Requests Patience and
Time, Representing That His Country
Is In = Poor Condition Owing 10 the Re-
cent wsr-Dispositioa Among Claim
anita to Take Harsh measures

Berlin, Dec. 3.-The published state
ment that Germany's claims against
Venezuela amount to Sl5,000,0OO is,
the correspondent of the Associated
press is officially informed, incor-
rect. While the German government
is not yet ready to publish the de-
tails of its demands, persons who
have seen the papers say the total is
about S2,000,000. President Castro
represents to Germany that Vene-
zuela has little credit abroad, that
the country is just emerging from
civil war, during which planting
and industry were partially ruined.
and that therefore no matter how
much Venezuela may desire to sat
isfy Immediately the claims against
her it is obviously impossible.
Hence an agreement on the subject
must provide for deferred payments.
The seizure CT the customs houses
thereby depriving the government of
an important means to administer
the country would add to the inter
nal distress and disorder.
While President Castro's proposals
are not disclosed there lis reason to
believe that they include the emission
of bonds at a moderately high rate
of interest, with some sort of guar
antee that if the interest of the in
stalments of the principal are de-
faulted certain Venezuelan custom
houses may be taken over by Ger
many.
Nothing is known here of the
plans of Isaac N. Seligman, of New
York, for floating a Venezuelan loan.
He has not approached this govern
ment in the matter.
There is no disposition here to pro-
coed with harsh measures towards
Venezuela if milder ones will suffice
to exact satisfaction, but the Ger
man government is fully committed
| to the intention to obtain ample sat
| isfaction. The claimants are con-
stantly urging the government to
press the collection of the amounts
due them, not only because of the
sums involved, but it is represented,
in view of the fact that the long de-
lay has rendered the position of Ger
mans in Venezuela more and more
| vexatious. Therefore, it is claimed
that the government must strike and
strike hard in order to properly as
sert the rights of Germans.

Hot Shot For Cleveland.

Omaha, Neb., December 6 Grover
Clevplad's attack on W J. Bryan. as
published in the New York World.
has stirred the wrath OF the silver
h., or and the Commonerto tomorrow
willrontain warm editorial in reply
therein.
After saying that he has nothir G
personal against Cleveland, Bryan
intimates very strongly that Cleve-
lands enthusiasm for the Democratic
party rises and falls with the stock
ticker quotations. He declares that
Cleveland is the only man shameless
enough to evince such interest in the
quotations and also pose as q leader
Of the party. Bryan charges that
instead Of trying to control the
trusts, Cleveland has been hand in
glove with those organizations since
1883 and insinuates very strongly
that he was Gin" on the great rail-
road merger and made good thing
out Of the rise OF Northern Pacific
when it made such q sensational az
vance last spring
The editorial also says that if
Cleveland would take the people into
his confidence in relation to his trust
and stock deals they would under
stand better what kind Of a REFORM
er" be is.
