former Governor Humphreys of this
State, died in the city workhouse at
Vicksburg last week Of apoplexy.
His case was a peculiar one. DR..

scious condition in his buggy, and
asked to have him removed. The
officer gained consent Of the doctor
to carry the man into the prison
house. He was no sooner taken in
to the house than he died. Deceased

county, and was well connected.
Mr.. Humphreys had several fine
plantations in Louisiana and was

JAMES R. WAITE.

It must have been very pleasing to the veteran James R. Waite to note the warmth and cordiality of the re-
 ception rendered him yesterday at the
 Jacques, and, indeed, he so expressed
 himself. That the comedietta, "A Touch of Nature,'' in which he ap- peared in conjunction with Vernon
 Somers and Virginia Dormer, pleased
 the two large audiences was very evil dent from the laughter and applause
 that greeted the amusing situations
 and dialogue as these were unfolded. | The story of the comedietta, which one
 critic has aptly termed "a prose gem, is natural and absorbing, and MT Waite's character work as the uncle of a loving and trusting wife who' through a series of unfortunate cir cumstances, is misunderstood by her l husband, as a result of which happy
 home is broken up, is as true to life as | was his clever and artistic picture or 1 Uncle Terry Miss Virginia Dorlner and Vernon Somers lend adequate sup port to MT Waite and the act is one
 of the prettiest that has graced the | stage of the Jacques. 1t should prove
 very popular headliner, and espe- ciadly so with the ladies. There is
 much comedy in the other acts on the bill, the Bison City Quartet in partic-
 ular scoring with their capital singing and comedy bits. Swan and Bam-
 bard made a hit, too, with their sing ing, comedy and dancing, and. indeed, it may be said that the whole show
 won favor. Among those contrtbut- ing are Lander and Stanley, Orth and
 Fenn, Flossie Allen, Dorsch and Rus 1. sell and the vitagraph. Prices are
 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

AMELIA BINGHAM.

The coming of Miss Amelia Blng- ham in '"The Frisky Mrs Johnson" to Polls next Friday evening is of inter est not alone because the play is an other example of the versatility of Americas most noted playwright, Clyde Fitch, but also in view of the fact that the actressImanager's pro auctions always enlist the services of most excellent group of actors. The scene of MT Fitch's play is laid in Par is during the carnival and its charac- ters are typical of the gay American colony there. "The Frisky Mrs John son. is considered to be conceived in Mir Fitch's happiest vein and the frothy side of cosmopolitan life abroad is happily depicted. While the story is replete with comedy, there is charming and serious love story inter woven with the lighter episodes. The scenery is by Gilbert Physioc and the gowns are by Worth and Pacquin, the production in its entirety wing with 'SThe Climbers" and "A Modern Mag dalen,' which established standards never previously attained and rarely eQuaHed.

PEOPLE WHO APPEAR OLD.

People who appear old must expect Ho be considered so; and, if they apply tor positions with every appearance that senility has struck them, and that they have gone to seed, they cannot expect favorable consideration. If gray-haired applicants for positions would only appreciate the value of ap- pearances, and would "brace up" when they seek situatfons-go well groom ed2 and well dressed, with elastic steps, showing that they still possess fire, force and enthusiasm-they would eliminate an obstacle greater than their gray hairs. We think ourselves into dncapacfty by looking for signs of age and dwelling on them, and the body follows the thought. We should, therefore, avoid the appearance of age in every possible way, by dress, car riage, conversation, and especially by our attitude toward people and things. It Is not difficult to preserve the buoy Hncy and freshness of youth, but 1t must be done by constant effort and practice A musician who expects to make only one or two important ap- pearances year must keep up his practice. Youthfulness cannot be put on foraay day if old age has had grip on you for months. It is important to preserve the fire of youth as long as possible, to carry freshness and vigor into old age by keeping up a hearty interest in everything that interests youth. Many of us seem to think that youthful sports and pastimes are fool ish, and before we know it, we get en- tirely out of sympathy with all young life, and consequently really old, what ever our years. We must think youthful thoughts, associate with young people, and interest them. When a person ceases to interest the young, he may be sure that he is showing signs of old age.-O. S Warden in May Success.

SUN DRIED CLOTHES.
More Hygienic Than When Polished
 With Hot Irons


 With Hot Irons.
 Perhaps the most interesting of the recent movements in the direction of simplifying housework is that in favor of sun-dried underwear, towels, bed linen, etc This stands for another working to gether for good.' When life became complex we began to be- grudge the time necessary for ironing, and sometimes, if we thought we could use our time more proftably than in ironing, we used our clothes trough dried" But now we no longer speak of '.rough-dried clothes, because that suggests only their negative advanta ge in saving work, but we saw 'tsun- dried" because hygienists have told us that articles that contain in their meshes fresh stunned air are more healthful than those that contain the impure air of the kitchen or laundry. Dhey have told us also that because air is poor conductor of heat, and be- cause clothes that havenotbeen pressed contain more air than those that have, We can get more protection from a giv- en weight of underwear that has been sun-dried than from the same weight of that which has been ironed.-Caro- line l.. Hunt in the Chautauquan.

EMERsoN's YOUTH.

Emerson went to school in Concord, for a time through the kindness of a kinsman, Dr Ezra Ripley, before actu- ally residing there, this being in 1874. when his mother was left a widow and extremely poor. At that time, at the age of eleven, he used to be set on a sugar barrel in the grocery store, whence he could entertain his first Concord audiences with recitations of poetry-Campbell' "G1enard," or lines from Milton. At a later period twelve years after, when he had left college-he restored the balance of the half-shire town of Cambridge by opening, with his mother and brothers, school there in Dr Hedges house, on what was called the Old Common, but is now Winthrop Square Here, on the day of Webster's address at Bunker Hill, he gave all his boys a holiday to hear it, and, to his great disappointment. not one of them went. For this reason or, for some better one, he closed the school and never taught afterwards, except from the public pla tform. He would gladly have accepted a position as teacher of rhetoric at Harvard, but the invitation never came. He was not considered man of marked ability as compared with his two brothers who died in their youth. His young wife also died early his health was poor, and, though he had some success as a preacher, all ended in his going to Con- cord to reside, and in making 1t his hoTne theredf fter-ThOna Wentworth Higginson, in May Success

Ways In Which Spontaneous Combus-
 tion May Result

" dJS LII h1CA SpOALdAOOuS FSO11ADuG-
 tion May Result.
 An exchange publishes an article in regard to spontaneous combustion, which is of special interest to fire in surance men. Some of the causes of such combustion, as given, will ex- plain many of the fires which have been regarded as mysterious in their origin. Damp lampblack will ignite from the suns rays. The same can be said of cotton waste moist with lard or other animal oil. Lampblack and a little oil or water will under certain conditions ignite spontaneously. Nitric acid and charcoal create spontaneous combustion. New. printers ink on paper, when in contact with hot steam pipe, will ignite quickly. Boiled linseed oil and turpentine in equal parts on cotton waste will ignite in a few hours under mild heat, and will in time create enough heat to ignite spontaneously. Bituminous coal should not be stored where it will come in contact with wooden partitions or col umns or against warm boiler settings or steam pipes. This coal should not be very deep if it is to be kept on stor- age for a long period. If piled in the basement of a building it should be shallow and free from moisture and under good ventilation. That liable to absorb moisture should be burned first. If on fire small quantity of water showered on this kind of coal cokes it upon the top and retards any great supply of water reaching the fire, thus necessitating the overhauling of the pile. Iron chips, filings or turnings should not be stored in a shop in wood en boxes. The oily waste which is not infrequently thrown among them adds to the danger of fire from this source. The sweepings from the machine shop, if kept on hand, should never be placed over iron shavings. This mass of dis integrated iron Is enough to incite heat and combustion. Iron and steel filings and turnings, when mixed with oil will ignite spontaneously after be- coming damp. A steam pipe against wood will cause the latter to ignite spontaneously after being carbonized, particularly if superheated steam en- ters the pipe, thus increasing the heat famnerature.

REFLECTIONS DON'T DAUNr HER.

Mrs I. K'LaRue, of ElDorddo, Kan sas. is wonderful blind woman. It is difficult for one to believe she can work as she does without seeing and Knowing her. She has been blind and goes about her house and does her |tasks as perfectly as one who can see, doing all of her work except washing, ironing and making bread. She could bake the bread, but does not, as she does not use enough to make 1t worth the while. She bakes the finest cakes and pies, puts up fruits, makes jams, piccalilli, chilli sauce, etc, sweeps and dusts. A stranger going into her house would never dream that blind woman does the work. She rises in the morn ing at o'clock, builds the fire, and sometimes bakes a pie or cake before breakfast She has great presence of mind: twice she caught fire and saved serself. She trusts implicitly in friends she has never seen, and knows them by the touch of the hand and the sound of the voice. 1t is difficult to talk to her-one has to put one's mouth close to her ear and speak very dis tinctly. She corresponds with friends and relatives, some of whom she knew before being blind; she Is now about 65 years old She writes her letters by folding the papers for each line as she writes. beginning by folding it over a ruler She has had more than her share of trouble, besides her affiiction vet she does not complain and always has bright and pleasant words for all her associates. She is a noble Christ ian woman, and at odd times repeats Bible verses that she has memorized.- The Designer.
