MORE FAMILY REUNIONS
Another of the Unique Events of the
Worlds Fair Season.
The -Iurds and Heards and II Nc.
Gehees and McGees to Meet in
st. Louis, October Is.

st. Louis, Aug. IA national re.
union is being arranged for the Heard
and Hurd and McGehee and MCGEE
families who ale scattered through the
various states of the union. Capt. W..
J. Heard, Of Atlanta, Ga, who claims
to be the originator of the idea that
during the Worlds fair period would
be an opportune time for holding ma
tional family reunions, is in st. Louis
arranging the preliminaries for the re-
union of the a~bove-named families. He
hopes and expects to have representa-
tives meet in this city on the date men.
toned from every state in the union.
The objects are: First, that this gen.
Grafton see Uncle Sans big show, the
greatest educator the world has ever
seen; second, to form an organization
for the benefit of their offspring; third,
last, but not least, to compile an il
Illustrated family %genealogy.
To aid in securing the latter end II
is suggested that all corners bring with
them family trees, portraits and photo
craps, family Bibles and records.
The Worlds fair bureau of publicity
offers all necessary space and facilities
free, and the newspapers are liberal
in furthering the aims of such gath
erings.
Capt. Heard says that, above all, he
wants the boys and girls Of his kin.
bred to gather and learn the great les
son taught with regard to Americas
development and resources by the
greatest fair the world has ever known

THE HAPPY FATHER.

the empress had been living for som
time. The other three are occupied by
members of the imperial family, gath
cred there in expectation of the event,
including the empress mother, his mai
esty's two sisters, the Grand Duchesses
Xenia and Olga, his brother, Grand
Duke Michael, and other relatives.
Tho Alexandra villa is a much o
private spot than the grand palace.
The warm, brown-tinted buildings, in
the center of which rises a tall, square
watch tower, are set in a thick forest
of oaks, beeches and lindens, hiding
them from view on every side except
towards the Gulf Of Finland, whose
waters almost lap the foundation of
the nearest shoreward building. From
this section of the park the public has
been excluded for days past, while a
short mile down the coast children
romped and shouted under the deserted
windows of the Peterhof palace, and
crowds of visitors gathered each after
noon to watch the marvellous fountains.
With Traditional Ceremonial.
The birth of the heir to the throne
was attended with all the ceremonial
ordained by imperial tradition. In &C
cordance with the Russian law, there
were present besides the emperor, Bar
on Fredericks, the grand marshal Of
the court. DR.. Rott, the emperor's fam
lily physician, was the accoucher, and
DR.. Hiruch was the surgeon in attend
ance.
DR.. Rott personally announced the
birth of the heir to the awaiting i'm
perial family. A formal announcement
will be published in the Official Mes
senger. An imperial salute of 101 guns
was subsequently fired, first from
Peterhof, and it was then repeated by
all the forts around st. Petersburg.
The Christening In a Fortnight.
The christening of the heir will take
place in a fortnight. 1t will be a
ceremony Of the most elaborate sort.
In accordance with Russian imperial
custom, it will be performed in the
imperial chapel of the Peterhof palace.
The emperor and empress of Russia
formerly Princess Alix of Hesse), who
were married November IA, 1894, had
previous to the birth of the child just
born, four daughters, Olga, born No
vember 3, 1896; Titania, born May 20.
1897; Marie, born June IA, 1899, and
Anastasia, born June s, 1901.
The emperor and empress have fol
some time past, in anticipation Of the
event, been residing at Alexandra villa,
at Peterhof, the summer palace of thei1
majesties.

the circumstances. It's presence vas
opportune. The notorious insecurity
of foreign life and property at Beirut
was remedied by the removal of the To-
cal governor and the substitution of q
more energetic and friendly officer in
his place. The immediate object hav-
ing been accomplished, the squadron
withdrew the last of January, 1904.
In the meantime Mr.. Leishman's en-
deavors to advance a settlement OF the
| general questions at issue were una
| vailing, the porte being apparently
unwilling to meet the presidents re-
quests during the presence Of the
American fleet in Turkish waters. Its
withdrawal, however, did not hasten
matters.
The audience was at last accorded on
July 20, 1904. His majesty promised
immediate consideration for the sub
ject, and fixed Tuesday, August 2, as
the time when a definite response
would be given to Mr.. Leishman by
his majesty. The date then fixed was
postponed to Thursday, but on Thurs
day Mr.. Leishman ~telegraphed that
the promised reply had not been re-
ceived.
Thereupon the president directed
that the Mediterranean squadron, then
at Vile France, near Nice, should pro-
coed 10 Smyrna, in order that, If the
sultan's reply should still be with
held, or be given and prove u%nfavor-
able, the minister might be received
on board with the courtesy due to his
high office, and conveyed to some con-
venient place; while Mr.. Leishman
was instructed to press again for an
immediate answer, failing which he
was to depart or indefinite leave oil
absence and repair on board the flag
' ship. He was especially charged to
endeavor to reach a satisfactory assur-
ance of settlement before the arrival
of the fleet at Smyrna, in order that its
visit might be m of friendly courtesy
BETTING the good understanding o.
the two governments.
The feet, which was expected to ar
rive at Smyrna on the morning OF
Tuesday, the 18th, did not reach por1
until the 18th. On Thursday after
noon, however, the sultan sent n Of
his private secretaries to see Mr.
Leishman and submit the reply of hi
majesty, giving assurance that no dis
elimination shall be made between
American schools and those of othel
~nationalities, and, incidentally, offer
ing an indemnity in the amount
claimed, five thousand pounds Turkish
to an American citizen, Mrs. Lane, a!
the price of property owned by her.
The indemnity to be paid to Mrs
Lane, closes, it is believed, the onl!
pecuniary claim pending against thu
Turkish government.

Crushing RetOrt.

The young man had pleaded elo-
quently.
But the sweet young thing had been
obdurate.
Again and again he entreated her to
give him some for hope.
But she would not.
At last, as his final plea, he said:
"You do not love me now, you say
you will never marry. You will not
always be young; though, to my eyes,
you will always be beautiful. What of
the future?"
GAS to that" she replied, II can not
say. For l can state with perfect truth
fulness, looking you straight in the
eyes, that | have absolutely nothing in
view"
Gathering from this remark her esti-
mate of him, he arose, and, after care
fully brushing his knees, left the house.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN SERIOUS
The Captive Balloon At the Worlds
Fair Sprung n Leak, But the
Occupants Landed Safely.

st. Louis, Aug. 14.-The captive ball
loon at the Worlds fair sprung a leak
when about 500 feet in the air, Friday,
owing to the heat causing the gas to
expand, tearing open n of the
seamg. Just as has been claimed all
along by the management, the balloon
as it emptied itself of gas formed into
a perfect parachute and descended
slowly till it struck the ground about
ninety feet from the starting point.
The two occupants stepped out without
the least fright or injury.

LOOKING TO A SETTLEMENT.
Steps Looking To a Settlement OF
the Stock Yards Strike Said to
Be in Contemplation.

Chicago, Aug. 11.-Steps looking to a
settlement of the stock yards strike
are to be initiated at a conference be-
tween the Retail Meat Dealers asso-
citation of Chicago and the market
wagon drivers union, according to re-
ports that reached the packing house
teamsters. Vice-President Raft of the
union said a meeting had been planned
between the retail butchers and the
market drivers, but the meeting of the
teamsters' joint council session inter-
fered with the arrangement.
Extension Of the picket lines about
wholesale and retail meat markets was
also promised by union officials. A con-
ference of the leaders was held and
plans were made to shut off ice and
meat from more establishments pat
ronizing the big packers.

JUST ONE DAY
Free from the Slugger Brought Out
a Fact.

During the time I was a coffee
drinker," says an Iowa woman, II was
nervous, had spells with my heart,
smothering spells, headache, stomach
trouble, liver and kidney trouble. I
did not know for years what made me
have those spells. l would frequently
sink away as though my last hour had
come.
"For 81 years I suffered thus and
used bottles of medicines enough to
set up a drug st~ore-capsules and pills
and everything I heard of. Spent lots
of money but I was sick nearly all
the time. Sometimes I was so nervous
could not hold a plate in my hands;
and other times I thought I would
surely die sitting at the table.
"This went on until about two years
ago when n day I did not use any
coffee and l noticed I was not so nerv-
ous and told my husband about it. He
had been telling m that it might be
the coffee but I said: mo, I have been
drinking coffee all my life and it can
not be- But after this I thought !
| would try and do without it and drini
hot water. I did this for several dsys
but got tired of the hot water n
went to drinking coffee and O. soon
as I began coffee again I wasnervous
again. This proved that = was the
coffee that caused my t%rogaes.
1--WE had tried Postuv| u a not
made it right and diS.not ike 1t, but
now I decided to gt1 IL another trial
so I read the direc'ons on the package
carefully and ude it after these di-
rections and was simply delicious,
50 we ouit ice for good and the re-
suits are dnderful. Before, I could
not s,ee but now l go to bed and
s,oen and, am not a bit nervous now
h,t hard and can walk miles
NOUS headaches are gone, my heart
3es 0 bother me any more like il
ala and I don't have any of the smoth-
erlng spells and would you believe ite
l am getting fat. We drink Postum
now and nothing else, and even NV
husbands headaches have disan-
peared; we both sleep sound and
healthy now and that's a blessing"

Their Way to Cemeteries.

Pueblo, Col, Aug. 11.-Hundreds o.
Pueblo citizens witnessed the passing
Of friends and relatives, victims OF the
recent disaster whose bodies were be-
ing conveyed to their final resting
places. Early in the day all prepara-
tons had been completed for the funer.
ais. The undertakers and liverymen
were severely taxed in supplying
hearses and vehicles, but all were fin
ally accommodated, and soon long lines
were vending their way to the various
cemeteries. Many bodies nave been
sent to other cities. Sad, indeed, were
some of the pictures to be seen. In
stances of father and mother being
borne 10 the grave followed by three
Or four orphan children were not rare.

with people watching the professions
and business was almost at a stand
still.

been so faithfully conducted the past
two days, was resumed at dawn, but
! the chances of further recovery Of dead
grow faiter as time passes. although
many persons supposed to be victims
are as yet u~naccounted for. The wori
Of identifying the victims has beer
made with difficulty, but perhaps no
more so than in other similar cases
The names have been duplicated ano
quadruplicated with trifling variations
until the lists have been swelled to 80
100 and even more. The identified as
now reported, with the addition OF the
bodies recovered Tuesday make the
list of identified dead II with three
still unidentified and % missing.
GhouIs Couldn't Keep Away.
The coroner's jury was brought to
gether again and resumed its inquest
and a mass of evidence is being col
lected. 1t resulted, in bringing out tn
fact that a party of ghouls were driver
from their nefarious work by officers
who say, however, that they secured
