Luella never took her eyes off John
Gordon's face. AS he drew near the
end she noted the extreme exhaustion
Of his whole bearing. And as he fin
ished and sat down she observed Miss
Andrews, who was seated behind Cor
don, lean forward and ask him some
thing.
Then as the chairman of the meeting
was making some announcement for
another gathering Luella saw Cham
bers and Falmouth suddenly rise and
go over to Gordon Just as he sWayed
and would have fallen. The two friends
caught him and quickly carried him
off the stage. Miss Andrews followed
them, and the great audience began to
go out.
Luella hesitated. Mrs. Penrose had

"Shall we wait and inquirer" Mrs.

'I'll go up and see about it." Archie
suddenly volunteered.
He went up and crossed the stage
and disappeared. When he came back
after a few minutes, he said that Cor

and no one seemed to know just what
the trouble was.

but it was not possible yet to say how
seriously. Mrs. Penrose sent word to
Luella and added that if Lucia wished
she would go down to Hope House

the matter.

claimed Luella. Her face had paled at
sight of Miss Andrews. 1t blanched
now, and her exclamation contained a
certain tone Of reproach as if the wo-
man in front Of her were to blame.
"And, if they have is it not better for
him to die there after having fought
a good fight for humanity than to live
elsewhere and carry no burdens that
kill?"
1t was a question provoked by the
entire social cruelty of that world rep
resented by such women as Lucia and
Mrs. Penrose. The gentle, patient sac
rifcing spirit of the blue eyed woman
who had given her whole life to lift
the human burden burst out Of it's ha
bitual repression of feeling and swept
up and over Luella as if she were the
incarnation of social seltishness which
in all great cities of the world seeks
ease and pleasure and luxury and de-
MES all claims of brotherhood, refuses
TO share its strength with the weak
and never dreams of such a thing as
personal responsibility for childhood's
ways of mankind's suffering.
1t seemed a long time that Luella
was silent After awhile she raised her

Captain Boardmap bad several members

colored man whoeh Charged with having
committed a murderohs assault on Benson
Allen yesterday afternoon. A base ball
bat was the weapon used, and the victim
was in an unconscious condition when
taken to his home at $50 Florida avenue
northwest. The assault occurred on lot
near Florida avenue and 10th streets, only
a short distance from where the parents
of the victim live. 1t was after o'clock
when the police at headquarters learned
of the affair, and Major Sylvester offered a
reward of $50 for the colored mans ar
rest.
number of boys and young men were
on the lot yesterday engaged in game
of ball. and Allen was working with a
shovel to level the ground. Lester Knapp
and Elias johnson, the latter colored, en-
gagged in an alteration on the ground, and
the boy with the shovel started in the
direction of them to prevent trouble. The
colored man referred to interrupted the
Allen boy, and, it is alleged. dealt him
severe blow on his head. Following this
the police allege, he threw the bat at the
PROSTATE form of the boy. and walked
away. The police have learned in what
direction he walked, but where he stopped
was still a mystery this morning. The
man is about thirty years Old, according to
the statements of witnesses. A descrip-

was picked up on suspicion, but 1t proved
he was not the one who welded the base

SLAVES TWENTY MILES.
Mans Razor Travels Over His Face
1000 Feet Each Year.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
1t when you meet your mustache-adorned
friend you tell him he shaves five feet
eight inches a day, or over-two ffths of a
mile a year, he will probably accuse you
of romancing, but such is the fact. The
distance a man shaves In an average life
time. or the distance his razor travels over
his face. will be a surprise to most per-
sons. 1t, of course. differs to a more or
less extent with each individual, first, on
account of personal taste, which deter
mines whether a man wears partial or full
whiskers with or without a mustache.
mustache alone. full beard with shaver up
per LID, chin beard with or without
mustache or is altogether clean Shaven.
Second it differs to fractional extent
for the following reasons: The measure
ment Of the faces Of two individuals is
never exactly alike. The texture of peoples
skins and the strength Of the growth of
hair on the face differ just as widely, and
it is the tenderness or stoutness of the skin
and the strength or weakness OF the growth
Of hair that decide how may times man
passes razor over his face. In the same
Individual the condition of the skin and the
growth of the hair vary not only with the
health of the individual. but with the tenn
perature of the atmosphere, hair on the
face growing much more rapidly and
strongly in warm weather than in cold
So on all counts. in order to arrive at the
distance q man shaves in lifetime, 1t is
necessary to make a certain average, and
seeing the number of men who wear full
boards and the number who are clean
shaVen, we may take as an example of
the average man the one who only wears
a mustache. But there Is the average fair
man and the average dark man, and it is
necessary to discriminate between the two
for the reason that the dark man is, in the
vast majority Of cases. compelled to use a
razor quite a year earlier than the fair
man.
From a multitude of examples an average
measurement round the chin from ear to
ear is found to be twelve and a half inches
From where the beard starts on the throat
to the chin. and thence to the edge of the
underlip Is four and a half inches. You
must reckon that it is necessary to give
two strokes of the razor to each inch or
fraction Of an inch in order to cover all
the surface, and to! go over each section
of the face twice in order to secure q clean
surface. So, multiplying the number of
strokes by the number Of times the razor
is passed over the entire face. you get the
mentioned measurements gives you the fig
ures Of fifty and eighteen respectively.
which added together produce sixty-eight.9
Therefore, the average man, whether dark
or fair, shaves sixty-etght inches once
every twenty-four hours.
Vital statistics on the subject OF the du-
ration OF mems lives are misleading by
reason Of the fact that all who die In in
fancy are included. and enormously lower
the average. 1t Is. therefore. better to fall
back on the psalmist's estimate OF three
score years and tenor seventy years-in
order to arrive at the life OF the average

Boating on the Mississippi.
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat

From the ST. Louis GiODe-DemOcrat.
Encouragement should be given the prop
ostion to construct a river steamboat to
be the largest that ever fioated on the
Mississippi, and the finest, by a st. Louis
river man. The plan proposes vessel that
shall contain 1000 staterooms, commodious
saloons, billiard and smoking rooms and
other means of making long trips on the
river more enjoyable than they are at
present in the small and cramped boats
employed mostly as freighters. First-class
passenger traffic in the Mississippi has
dwindled away because the flrst-class pas
senger boats have disappeared. There is no
decrease in that class OF travel, on the mag
nificent Fall River boats out Of New York
or on the Hudson river steamboats, There
the standard OF serviee has been kept up

out Of business SO much as the inferiority
of the boats. The Pew proposed boat which
Is to be such a wonder both in her capacity
and appointments is intended for through
travel between st. Louis and New Orleans:
and in most seasons she could be run ali
winter The number of stops made would
necessarily have to be limited in order to
make good time. Another fault of present
boat travel is that the boats make almost
every landing on the river, and If it is any
passengers intention. to reach a certain
point with anything like expedition he can
not afford to go by boat. It is worse than
irksome to be tied up at some shanty on
the bank while roustabouts wi1oop and
shout for three hours trying to get a herd
Of mules on board. When the river travel
is restored 1t will be restored by the build
ing Of large. handsome. fast boats as care

as the railroad companies are. 1t would re-
quire considerable capital to put such a
line of boats In operation, but there is no
doubt they would soon secure great patron

Minnesota's Creditors.
