Sarah Bernhardt has her own ideas
of extravaganza, and a translucent one
upon economy. She louts the spend
thrift fancy of Emma Calve, who is
n of Sarah's ardent admirers and
friends. because Calve rushes to the
mountains and green wales of the south
of France as soon as the duty and
pleasure of bowling to %plaudits releases
her to pastoral existence.

Sarah. who is never out of debt, run
ming big farms and ranches, waste
your time shooting birds, herding cat
tie and driving sheep. Bah! You
| should be rich, but have nothing but
COWS and veal and pigs and t~ax-eating
lands"
So lectures Sarah, and she fills her
dollhouse palace in Paris with 1880
worth Of flowers a day and is regu-
larly sold up every spring, no matter
how much money she makes.
Calve says she was intended for a
shepherdess. All summer she is lost in

would rather be in Paris, and does

Major Perry is an initerate mulatto,
forty-hve years old, living in Salinda
county, S. G. When a young man ne
says he felt a call to preach, but dis
regarded it. He seldom goes to church
and is not religiously inclined. About
ten years ago, his wife says, Perry
began to preach in his sleep. Sermons
became more frequent, until he now
breaches five or six times a week. He
goes to bed about 8 o'clock, and with
in an hour begins to preach. He first
announces his text, chapter and verse
in the Bible correctly, after which he
reads the text, always just as it is in
the book. He then Zines" out and
sings a hymn and prays, after which
the sermon begins. Perry's sermons
are declared by white men who have
heard him to be better than the av-
erage negro preacher. He is gramma-
tical and logical and he talks from for
ty-five minutes to one hour in deliver
ing a discourse.
Sometimes in the delivery Of the SER
mon the muscles of the body, espec-
tally of the arms aud neck contract,
producing a cateleptic condition. This
stops the sermon. The attack lasts a
minute or two, and is usually driven
away by his wife, who rubs the mus
cles. When the tendency to catalepsy
is gone he resumes his discourse, be-
ginning exactly where he left off, ever
though he was in the middle of a SEN
tence.
At a certain time each summer Perry
holds ~protracted services, sometimes
getting pretty loud" a characteristic
of his race. At these special times he
delivers two sermons and invites
mourners to come up to the altar. He
takes a short recess between these ser
mons.
Perry cannot be convinced that he
breaches in his sleep. The best class
of white citizens visit his house in
the evening and physicians have vain
ly e%ndeavored to awaken him while in
his abnormal state. They have pierced
his muscles with needles, and ever
burned cotton between his toes, but
without success. The burns cause
great pain when he regains conscious
ness and he is easily awakened after
ending his sermon.
During the time Perry is preaching
it is an impossibility to stop him. He
has on several occasions gone to
church, fallen into a sleep or trance
and interrupted the service by begin
ming to preach, forcing the preacher in
the pulpit to desist.
People who know most about the
negro declare him a psychological mar,
vel and deserving of scientific inves-
tigation. The negroes are divided in
t1eir views. Some think Perry is be
Ing punished for not obeying the cali
to preach when young; others that his
power comes from the evil one, ant
that he has been "conjured." Other;
think he is a fakir and is really
awake all the time he breaches ant
only feigns to be asleep.

A report on the condition and trade
oil the republic Of Colombia, with the
exception of the district Of Panama,
for the year 1901, Just issued by the
English foreign office. states that the
emerald mines of Muzo and Coscuez,
the property of the Colombian govern
ment, have produced the finest emer-
aids in the world. They are at present
rented to a British company. Up to
the yesr 1875 all the emerald mines in
the country were the property of the
nation. After that date the govern
ment granted the right of exploration
and working on private enterprise, re-
serving only the right to the Muzo and
Coscuez mines. Since then several
companies have been formed and con
siderable capital expended. with very
poor results.

CLAIMS INTEREST IN LAND
Oversight in Foreclosure Proceedings
Lively 10 Prove Expensive
for Purchasers

PLATTSMOUTH, Neb., Sept. 9,-(Spe-
cial.)-T. S. Becker Of Riceville. Ia, is In
this city looking after his interest in 100
acres Of land q few miles south OF Platts-
mouth, now in the possession OF II. NJ.
Gault and C. j. Martin. The title to the
land was supposed to be perfect in these
men for more than twenty years, but an
abstract revealed the fact that Becker
owns an undivided one-sixth interest
therein.
In 1873, Peter J. Becker. father OF Thad-
deus g., gave a mortgage on the land to the
Union Mutual Insurance company of Maine
and afterward died. leaving a widow and
six children. Thaddeus being an infant at
the time. In 1878 the life insurance COM
pany commenced proceedings In the United
States circuit court to foreclose the mort
gage, making the widow and FIVE OF their
children defendants. ]. NJ. Patterson, the
president Of the Bank Of Cass County, re-
ceived a quit claim deed from the trustee
Of the life insurance company. who pur-
chased the land at a sale made by the
United States marshal under a decree Of
the United States circuit court. Mr.. Pat
terson sold eighty acres Of the land to
Mr.. Gault and gave him a warranty deed,
which will probably make him liable for
one-half the amount and Mr.. Martin for
the other. The land is valued at 5000.

as we'll as the church which owns the
building is to be congratulated on what
has been accomplished. The parish now
includes Fullerton and the Genoa Indian
school. Until recently It was weak lnan-
cially and the expenses Of keeping up the
services bore heavily upon the member
ship, but the coming in Of new settlers
during the last year, along with general
prosperity, has placed the parish solidly
en- it's feet. The reception was attended
by a large company Of Catholics and nom
Catholics and the evidences Of general
coed will and brotherly feeling we're
abundant. In a few words Father Yer
meulen thanked the people for the honor
shown him, but that he did not take the
honor given to him personally, but to the
ONCE OF priest which he holds.

CORN MAKES FAIR PROGRESS
In Many Sections No Danger from FrSst is
Now Feared.
CROP SOMEWHAT BACKWARD IN IOWA
Rain in the Cotton Belt IL a Help "a
the Late Crop, but Damage
to that Now Ripen-
Ing.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Following is the
Agricultural departments weekly summary
of crop conditions:
Although the week was cool in the CEN
trail valleys and lake region, with more
than the average rainfall In portions OF the
upper Mississippi valley, maturing crops
have made generally favorable, though not
rapid, Advancement. The greater part Of
Texas, in which state severe drouth pre-
vailed at the close Of the previous week,
has received abundant rainfall and drouth
conditions in the middle Atlantic coast dis
tricts have also been largely relieved, but
the interior OF the middle Atlantic states,
Ohio valley and portions Of the lower lake
region and south Atlantic states continue
to need rain.
Light to heavy frosts we're very general
in the northern districts from Montana to
New England and the middle Atlantic states
from the Sd to the 9Th, with but slight in
jury.
Rain is much needed in Washington and
Oregon, but otherwise the general condi-
tions on the Pacific coast were favorable.
Corn Crop in Good Condition.
Notwithstanding the prevalence Of low
temperatures throughout the corn belt and
copious r~ainfalls in portions Of the Missis-
sippi valley the corn crop has made very
satisfactory advancement toward maturity
and wholly escaped injury in the states
eastward Of the Mississippi river from
frosts occurring on the 4th and 5th, with
but slight injury in the states to the west
ward.
The bulk Of the corn crop in Missouri
and Kansas and much of the early planted
in Nebraska and the states Of the Ohio val
ley are now safe. In Iowa, where corn has
ripened very slowly, two-thirds of the crop
will probably be safe by September 20 and
the balance will require ten days longer.
The threshing Of spring wheat although
further retarded, has made more favorable
progress than in the previous week.
Rain in Cotton Belt.
Texas and large parts of the central and
eastern districts of the cotton belt have
received abundant rainfall during the week,
but it is doubtful whether the beneficial
effects OF these rains to late cotton will
offset the injury done to the open staple.
In the states CT the upper lake region the
reports respecting apples are favorable,
while those from New York and New Eng
land are variable, indicating a very light
crop in some sections, with plentiful yields
in others. In the Ohio valley and most OF
the middle Atlantic states the outlook con-
tinues very poor.
Flowing for fall seeding has made more
favorable advancement in the southern
states and Missouri valley, hut in the Ohio
valley and portions of the middle Atlpn
! tic states and lake region the soil is too dry
for this work.
