"A Homespun Heart :"

"a Homespun Heart" will be the at
traction at the Academy of Music next
week. The drama is said to be rich in
character delineation and thrilling in al
most all of its incidents. The closing
scene, in which the hero is restored TO
reason by a sudden shock, is sensa-
tional one. Another chief incident is one
in which the half-witted young fellow
amuses himself by having a chicken fight,
the birds being from among those of the
flock on the farm.

STUDENT OFFICERS REVOLT
Cadets mt wesleyan University Re
sign for Alleged Entertainment
at Hands Of Trustees.

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Neb.. June Is
(Special.)-The cadet officers appointed for
next year in the Wesleyan university pre-
scented their designations in a body Just
before the school year closed. This lie due
to an action Of the board Of trustees In
their annual meeting.
1t is reported that one OF the members Of
the board, whose son attends the ~univers-
ity, objected to having him under the COM
mand Of cadet officers and succeeded in
having the board do away with the drill
requirements, making II voluntary, which
amounts to killing the discipline and, in
fact, the military organization.
II is said that several Of the board. when
asked what was done. could not tell, re-
Numbering merely that some action was
taken. Some profess to believe that this
member Of the board hustled the motion
through while the board was busy and
when unthinking they voted with the ma
jority. or not at all.
Military work for the last year has been
a success, reaching its climax at the en-
campment at Milford in May. The cadet
officers have labored long and patiently
and the department was coming to the
front rapidly.
With the work merely voluntary on the
part Of the students there will be no incen-
tive to begin the work at the first Of the
year, when 1t must start out briskly in
order to work up enthusiasm along the line.
Those who have been instrumental In
building up the work are highly indignant
that the board should allow themselves to
be led into tearing down the department
| without at least an attempt at an investi-
| CATION into the success and efficiency Of the
work.

Miss Stedeker seems to be a person OF

The fact that she scars no higher than
$50, 900 is somewhat against her. In fact.
II. any woman undertakes to set a money
value on her regard for a man or a mans

II is going to be the usual thing. how
ever. for women to adopt such tactics they
ought in all fairness TO tell a man before
he begins to WOO them Just how much their
affections are quoted at. A man might
be more careful with a million dollar heart
than he would with a ten-cent one. There
ought to be a perfect understanding on
hnth sides.

Mrs. J. C. Laughlin Of Seattle. formerly

school. She has another daughter, Miss
Winnie Sharp. who is now receiving a

and pretty, and their friends say they have
bright futures ahead of them.
When Mrs. Laughlin left Denver eighteen
years ago she was Mrs, Sharp. About five
years ago she sustained heavy losses
through others. These reverses set her
thinking. Why could she not attend to her
own affairs and take up a regular line OF

WASHING BLUE FOR THE HAIR.
IL IL Said TO Remove the yellow Tint
from Locks Turning Gray.

II - Saiu 10 hcHONc thc ciho" I'm
from Locks Turning Gray.
Gray hair is an ordeal to the average
woman under the most favorable circum-
stances. says the New York Sun, and she
probably hnds in It little that is to be pail
Hated. On the other hand, most women
would probably not mind 1t so much IL they
were certain that all their hair would be-
come white Immediately and not remain
for several years in the yellowish, mixed
stage that comes to all women who have
not black hair. 1t is the problem Of getting
their hair white all at once that troubles
most women.
Some OF the Paris hairdressers are said
to be able to make the hair quite white
when once 1t begins to turn. The process
is expensive under any circumstances.
A remedy has been found which has been
successful in the case Of most of the women
who have tried 1t. II is not expensive, for
the process consists in giving the hair a
bath OF washing blue.
The blue must not be too strong, but must
be literally mixed with water. II one bath
does not have the effect Of taking all the
yellow out Of the hair, the operation should
be repeated.
In q day or two after the bath of blue
has been given the yellow will begin to fade
from the hair and in a short time II will
be quite white.

wARsHIP's Peaceful END.
The Macedonia, Captured by Decatur,
Now a village Hotel.


New York City's absorption OF It's suburbs
has been fatal to the race Of hardshell,
brine-encrusted clam diggers that have for
800 years or more peopled the little dot Of
sand in Long Island sound, one mile long
and a half wide, known as City island,
which has recently been swallowed up by
the great metropolis. One by one the
hunters Of the bivalve are being laid away
in the little cemetery overlooking the quiet
waters Of the sound. Those who have not
yet succumbed to the hand Of time, says
the New York Sun, are gradually drifting
away, seeking other fields, or are accepting
the gold OF associated capitalists who have
within a month past selected the island as
a fruitful field for speculation or see in 1t
golden return for investment.
Only a few steps from the sandy shore
where the clam digger pursues his voca-
ton, and in the l~oneliest part of the island,
stands the Macedonian hotel. When the
wreck Of the famous British frigate and
prison ship Macedonia was bleaching its
hulk on the shores of Harris island, d.
rectly across the water from City island, q
native conceived the idea OF putting the
solid and age-protected timbers to good use.
With boats and assistants he made many
trips to the old hulk, gathering the timbers
and towing them to the beach in front Of q
piece Of property which he owned close
beside the shore.
From the wreckage he erected what has
ever since been known as the Macedonian
hotel and on its side are inscribed these
words, which tell the history Of the famous
old house:

NEVER HEARD OF THE STORY

Rumor of BribinE General
Conner.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Regarding a
story emanating from New Orleans that
General Gomez received a S25, 900 bride
from the administration to withdraw from
the Cuban campaign, thereby permitting
the election OF Estrada Palma, it was
stated tonight by an official close to Pres
ident Roosevelt that he had never before
heard Of It.
Secretary Root thought the story was I'M
doubtedly an exaggeration OF General
Woods action in granting a pension to
General Gomez.
The statement that General Wood had
paid General Gomez money to withdraw
from the Cuban convention was absurd on
its face, said Mr.. Root, as General Gomez
was one Of President Palma's warmest
friends.
