MISS WHITEHEAD DEAD.
Prominent Member of the Christian
Church Is No More.

Miss Clara Whitehead. a prominent
member Of the First Christian church
of this city. died on October 20 at her
old home in Mt Vernon, KY, where
she went on September Is in hopes of
recovering from an attack of dropsy.
Miss Whitehead came to Topeka 10
years ago from Mt Vernon, and start
ed a dressmaking establishment. Later
she established g. boarding house, and
bought a home or Tenth street. Last
March she had the misfortune to fall
down the cellar stairs, and break both
wrists. She was a very large woman.
and the shock resulted in the develop
ment of dropsy.
In the Christian church in this city is
a 500 memorial window which Miss
Whitehead put in. She was a liberal
contributor to philanthropic and church
work She assisted several Topeka
young men and women who were strug-
Cling to obtain an education here by
giving them room and board free at her
boarding house. Miss Whitehead leaves
no relatives in Topeka, but in the east
she still has living an aged mother,
sister, and three brothers, one of whom
is Senator Whitehead of Kentucky. The

An Indians Diary.

A teacher at the Hampton school i'll
Virginia tells of a Cherokee boy, a stu
dent at the school. who recently died
and among whose papers was found one
on which was written: My reasons foi
to Hampton: First. to develop
all my powers; second, to help my peo-
pie; third. to learn the idea Of self
cont-c,-''
Likely enough there was in this tine
ture Of boyish sentimentalism. or a
touch of that egotism which leads to the
outpouring Of crude intensities on the
pages of diaries. Yet a boy would be
better so than dull and soggy-and a
good deal better so when he has thought
deeply enough to elevate the idea of
learning .self-mastery as one of the i'm
portant purposes of his school life. It
occurs to US that this young Indian sug-
gests the desirability of department o.
self-control in all our institutions of
learning Putting his ideal in contrast
with the GeDlorable exhibitions of a lack
of self-control made by some of the men
who are among the most conspicuous
generals and statesmen and captains of
Industry, for examDle-the necessity of
adding exercise in self-control to the
curricula imposed upon American
youth becomes obviously desirable. If
sundry eminent citizens of this country
had enioved such training, how much
happier life would have bean for them,
and how much less disconcerting for
some o. the rest OF u.s. Seriously. the
Indian boy In his aspiration for himself
set a fine example for the masterful

LIQUID FUEL FOR SHIPS.
Oil to Be More Generally Employed
in Steam Making.

The successful trials made with liquid
fuel indicate the probability OF its more
general employment at home and
abroad. Lately a British steamer COW
cred voyage of Il, 600 miles on 800 tons
of this fuel. and our navy department,
after laborious experiments, has ordered
its use in a certain proportion of tor
pedo craft, with prospective extension
through auxiliary types to cruising
ships of war. 1t is, indeed, not hazard
Gus to prophesy the installation in bat
tie ships of boilers fitted for the use of
both liquid and solid fuel.
Various sufficient reasons justify this
substitution and association. While.
bulk for bulk. liquid fuel is demon
strably more efficient than coal, its SUI
periority does not rest altogether on this
higher evaporative power. Its employ
ment reduces by tbree-quarters the fire
room force needed with solid fuel and the
saving in wages, rations and risk is cor
respondingly great. It is put on board
more easily, and thus obviates the dis
comfort, damages and detentions OF
remote places where coal cannot be
stored. and. ton for ton. requires less
cubic feet of SPACE. All this means
greater cargo room in merchant vessels,
more extended radius of action on ships
of war and equal safety and less cost
in both.
Although its economic progress has
been retarded by the inertness or fear
of England. which is a coal and not an
Oll-prOducing territory, its value is too
great to prevent its extended use by
countries where oil is found or where
fuel has to be imported. AT most ports
of the world it is less expensive than
coal or artificial fuels and now that the:
its safe and economic employment are
largely Surmounted a great increase in
the number of ships fitted to burn both
coal and oil may be exoected.-New

A DOCTORS JOKE.
A Good Prescription for Patient of
the Sort.

Frau X, an invalid lady, attended by
her maid, arrived recently at a we'll
known cure resort in Germany, and
proceeded on the morning after her ar
rival to call on a doctor recommended
by her Berlin physician. whose name
we will also suppress. She presented
her letter of recommends ton. which the
medical man read after hearing from
the patient her version of an intermin-
able list of ailments from which she de-
clared she was suffering. He shook his
head, felt her pulse and examined her
heart. and then turned to the letter,
which purported to be the physicians
description of her maladies. The letter
read as follows: "Rup. fens. iediega, n.

porters express the belief that the re-

which wrought havoc on the coffee
plantations will have little affect on the
general markets. Last year the yield

fact that the visible supply of coffee is
about 100000 bags, the loss of even
the whole production would not be con-
sidered serious.

A WAY OUT.
Some Suggestions as to Time USED in
Voting.

T. H. Balm suggests a way out for
the presumably straight Republicans
who desire to vote split ticket and are
afraid to do so for fear of remaining
in the booth longer than would be nee
essary to put a cross in the circle.
There are several constitutional
amendments to be voted uDon,' says
Mr.. Balm and it is the duty of every
voter to read those amendments before
voting for or against them. That will
of course take some time. and it won't
do the Republicans any good to hold the
watch on a man when he goes into the
booth. He is expected to stay there long
enough to read those amendments
