s1.OOo.Ooo for Charity.

y fortune of $1.OOO.OOO. was recently
left TO charitable institution in one
of our eastern cities. and while much
good can be accomplished by the
careful expenditure of this sum OF
money. there is another agency which
also deserves mention. because of the
good il has done and the suffering 2
has relieved during the past fifty
years. and that is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. No other medicine can
take its place as cure for stomach,
liver and kidney trouble. such "a
headache. belching, heartburn, in
digestion. dyspepsia, constipation OF
biliousness. We would therefore
urge you to give it a trial. The
genuine must have our private stamp
over the neck of the bottle. Do not
accept substitute.

The latest returns from the Maine
election show that the result was
about the same as usual. There was
no phenomenal republican victory in
Maine Indeed the republican major
ity is not up to the average of late
years. The republicans appear to
have polled their vote a little more
fully than was anticipated by some
perhaps is n result of the presidents
APATHY killing stump speeches.
Their plurality in 1900 was $4,000, in
1895 $4,000. and in 1894 $4,000. This
year il is reported to be about 10000,
and the official figures may be cOnsid-
erably less.

An old bark has arrived at New
Bedford after a voyage of II months
with a cargo of oil said to be worth
$4,000. This brings back ancient
memories of the intrepid whalers who
cruised the seas long before Kerosene
was used for lighting and for lubrica-
ton. Some of these vessels were
away from their home ports for two
and three years at a time. But the
leviathan of the seas is becoming
scarce, and the petroleum wells of
the world have displaced the huge
efacean.

HOW PEOPLE PRONOUNCE
THE PRESIDENTS NAME

Just how to pronounce the name of
our president is Il matter that puzzles
great many people. His name has
given rise to a greater variety of pro-
nunciations than that of any states
man who has ever occupied the front
rank.
The English people SHE'D at DIS
raeli'' when they first saw it in print
and Americans when they first saw
"Thiers" were given pause. Bona
parte. changed the spelling of his
name. and there are some purists
who excite amusement by still spell
ing it 'Bounaparte" and pronouncing
it accordingly.
But for Il man of worldwide fame
as the president of the United States
must necessarily be i'm these days,
there has never before been a case
like that of Roosevelt" to puzzle
mankind. Even Goethe" and
"Pepys" were not so mystifying.
Elsewhere than in New York and in
Holland and South Africa. where
Dutch names are common. the great
est variations of the presidents name
are To be met with. People in Eng
land are at sea about it. On the con
tinent almost every man has his own
opinion on the subject. Here are a
| few of the vagaries:

Nebraska Treasurer win pi.sorae.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 15.-It was an
nounced tonight that former State
Treasurer Joseph BARLEY. who was re-
Gently given an unconditional pardon
after serving four and half years for
a defalcation aggregating nearly $780,
600, would pay back all or nearly all
of his shortage. The reason he gives
is that he wishes to prove to the people
that he is not thief
BARLEY holds a large number of
notes. executed In the stress times pre-
vious to 1896 by prominent politicians
and business men, and 1t is from these,
the enforced collection of which he has
already begun, that he hopes to get the
money. No ban of limitation is likely
to be raised, because borrowing from
the treasury is n crime, and 1t is pay
up or be prosecuted. He will also be
aided by his bondsmen and Senator
Millard's bank, against which heavy
judgments are about to be rendered.

CORONATION REPRESENTATIVES,.
WhiteIaw Reid, General Wilson and
Captain Clark to Go.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The Cabinet
meeting yesterday was devoted largely
to the consideration of the appoint
ment of representatives of this coun-
try at the coronation of King Edward
VII. At the conclusion the following
designations were announced by the
secretary of state:
Special ambassador, Whitelaw Reid
of New York; representative of the
United States army, General James H.
Wilson of Delaware; representative of
the United States navy, Captain
Charles q. Clark, commander of the
battleship Oregon during the Spanish
American war and now governor Of
the naval home at Philadelphia.
There are to be three secretaries as
follows:
J. p. Morgan, Jr, son Of J. Pierpont
Morgan of New York; Edmund Lin
coin Bayliss, barrister of New York,
and William Wetmore, son of Senator
Wetmore of Rhode Island.
Mr.. Choate, our ambassador to Lon
don, who sailed to-day for his post,
will not, strictly speaking, have any
official connection with the special en-
bassy. This was the fact during the
golden jubilee, when Ambassador Hay
was not even ex-Officio a member of
the special representation of the Unit
ed States government. AS, matter
of fact, however, the United States
ambassador is very important figure
in the ceremonies and is in almost ev-
cry instance attendant upon all the
functions in which the special repre-

POOL ROOM HELD UP.
Enterprising Kansas City Men Gather
In $4,000.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 14.-Two
young men of slight build, with hand
kerchiefs tied across the lower portion
OF their faces, entered Harry b.
Chicks pool rooms at 007 Baltimore
avenue, block in the center of the
city, at o'clock tonight, and, with
drawn revolvers, commanding the pro-
prietor, cashier and three other en-
ployes who were in the place, to lie
down on the floor, secured between
$1,000 and $500 and escaped.
A third man, supposed to be n con-
federate. but not masked, guarded the
entrance while the robbery was COM
mitted. Jimmy Driscoll. an employe
who did not readily comply with the
command to lie down, received a
heavy blow on the head with revol-
yer from one of the robbers. Driscoll's
skull was fractured. DIR. J. A. Frame,
the cashier, also received a slight blow
on the head.
A better time for the robbery could
not have been chosen. The manager
and his assistants were counting the
money that had been received during
the day, and as betting on the last
races of the day ceases at about $50
p. M, only the employees remained.

GENERAL KITcHENER's REPORT.
He is Supposed to Be Engaged in Sur
rounding General De Wet,

London, Jan. 15.-Perhaps the most
important point in Lord Kitchener's
weekly report, dated Johannesburg.
January 18th, is the omission of all
mention of General DeWet, from
which it is deduced that the British
commander-in-chief is more than us
ually hopeful of effective results from
his present effort to surround DeWet.
Since the disaster at Zeefontein
strong British columns have been per-
sistently dogging DeWet's force, while
armored trains have prevented him
from crossing the railroad line and
have forced him northward. Lord
Kitchener is supplying DeWet's pur-
suers with relays and remounts.
Lord Kitchener reports that since
January 9th twenty Beers have been
killed, nine wounded, twenty.one cap
tured and that ninety-five surrendered.
He also reports the narrow escape of
General Botha from capture by Gen.
eral Bruce Hamilton. Hearing of a
concentration of Beers at Knapdar,
Bruce Hamilton went to the spot, only
to find that the Beers had been given
the alarm and that 400 of them were
trekking, three miles distant, with
General BOtha in a cape cart, leading.
Bruce Hamilton chased the Beers for
seven miles, until his horses gave out,
captured thirty-twO Beers and Quanti-
ties of ammunition and stock
