STARTING In HOUSEKEEPING

A curious story concerning an easy
method of starting In housekeeping

Utica Journal. A WatertOwn woman

A CEREAL STORY.

MANY SOLDIERS MONUMENTS.
Being BUILT As IA Result OF an Act
OF the PcnnsyiVania
Legislatures

Under an act OF the Legislature Of 1901
there is quite an epidemic of soldiers
monuments building throughout the
state. The advantages offered by the
act are just beginning to be understood
and taken advantage OF. Every county
seat not now provided with a suitable
soldiers monument is pretty certain tC
have one within few years, says the
Philadelphia Press.
The act in question was prompted by
the fact that in a number of counties the
effort to raise a sufficient amount OF
money by private subscription to erect
memorials to the dead of the war of the
rebellion had failed. Considerable
amounts had been contributed in some
instances, but not enough, as was the
case in Delaware county, where monu-
ment completed at the expense of the
county was dedicated a few weeks ago
The project had been in hand many
years, and it is doubtful if it would ever
have been finished If the county had not
been authorized to come to the rescue
In other instances, soldiers memorials
have been incum bered, but the obliga-
tiOn can now be lifted by the county out
of the county moneys, and has been in
several cases.
Under the terms Of the act it is neces-
sary for at least so citizens of the county
to petition the court Of quarter sessions
fOrthe erection or completion Of a monu-
ment or to pay debts heretofore con-
tracted for the erection and construction
OF such monument BY the court the
matter is laid before the grand jury, and
if approved by two successive grand
turies and the court the county commits
sioners shall be authorized to pay any
and all debts contracted for lie erection
OF monument to cOmplcto il or ( o erect |
a new one, and maintain at the county !
seat suitable monument TO the soldiers |
and sailors Of the rebellion. There is nc |
reason under such q law why any cOun- |
ty should long be without a proper
memorial to the patriotism and bravery
of those who offered their lives for their
country
Nor is it likely any county which does
not now have a monument will fail tc
take advantage Of the opportunity Of
fered. If any has not already done so, II
Is because the enabling act has not be-
come well understood The finances OF
a county must be iD desperate condition
indeed to compel the authorities to re-
fuse an appeal from old soldiers for
memorial 10 their departed comrades

FORTY-YEAR CLOCK.
Jeweler Makes n Tfmepieee That He

A jeweler calculating that he would
In all probability live about 40 years,
and during that time spend about 60
days winding the house clock-aIlow-
ing two minutes each day for the task
decided that he would make a clock
which would need winding but once dur

Larger Reward For Apostle.

Corvallis, Or, June 10.-With S10O
appropriated last week by the County
Court of Benton for the purpose, the
total of the reward now offered for
Creffield is about $400 Formerly, 500
was contributed by citizens and placed
in the Sheriff's hands as a reward for
the capture of the fugitive, and within
the past few days an additional 500 has
also been raised by subscription. This,
with 800 offered in Portland, makes an
aggregate OF $400.
The ordes of the County Court making
the appropriation recites that Creffield
is criminal out of the ordinary; that,
at large. he is a menace to the peace and
happiness of the community, and that
six of his followers have been commit
ted to the insane asylum.
Eva May Hurt, another of Creffield's
victims, was, on petition of relatives, or
dered by the Benton County Court this
morning to temporary commitment in
the home of the Boys and Girls Aid
Society at Portland. She is to be taken
there tomorrow.

MENELEK AGAINST SLAVERY
Abyssinian King Forbids His People
to Make Slaves of the Gala
Natives.

A few weeks ago King Menelek 0
Abyssinia issued decree against thu
slave trade. 1t is couched in the Ian
guage of potentates who have unlim
tied power to enforce laws Of theil
own making The king says:
by letter forwarded some time
ago to all the provinces, forbade traffic
mated that those guilty OF this offenst
would be accommodated FROM thf
Christian Church of Abyssinia, but you
refuse to cease making slaves of the
! Gala men
Nov beware. You who are taken in
the act OF enslaving the Gallas will no
| longer, as heretofore. be fined or turned
out Of the church; but you will be pun
ished in your own persons, by which
mean YOU will be subjected to the
penalty Of mutiation."
This. remarks the New York Sun,
is certainly one of the most dras-
tic measures yet taken against slave
trading in Africa. The Gallas are fine
tribe, widely spread over the country
south Of Abyssinia A large part Of
their territory. by agreement between
Meneek and Great Britain now lies
within the kings domain
The Abyssinians, with their guns and
superior military skill, have regarded
Gallaland as their pOaching ground and
have inflicted great hardships upon the
natives, whom they robbed frequently,
not only OF their produce, but also of
their liberty
The evil has been increasing. Abys-
sinians have seemed to think that the
easiest way to acquire wealth was to
make a raid in Gallaland and carry
home few scores of natives to sell as
slaves. The crimes committed against
this superior tribe have been the scan
dal of Menelek's reign The GalIas
have been powerless to make effective
defense. though they have lost no op-
portunity of spearing individual Abys-
sinians or very small parties and speed |
ify decamping to avoid detection
Years ago the Arabs were wont to in
wade the Gala country and take hun
dreds Of the natives into slavery. In re-
cent years, however, the Abyseinians
have been the only oppressors.
The injustice done them has been
the more pitiful because as agriculture
lists and herdsmen and in the Industrial
arts they are more advanced than any
other pagan people in that part Of
Africa. They are famous for fidelity
