Gardening as a Cure.

Few of US know that a far better
cure for all our health troubles than
any of the patent medicines which
are so constantly recommended lies
at our doors IN more senses than
one--i. e. the garden cure. This
idea Is at last breaking through the
crust of centuries and emerging to
the light; so that garden cities,
lady gardeners, horticulture and
agriculture and various other signs
of coming sanity, amateur garden
ing being one of the most consp,cu-
Gus, are all on the increase. All
we have TO do is to open our doors
and live in the gardens.-Amateu

STRENUOUS STUDENTS.
One Sibley College Nan Died Re
centIy from OTer7cOrk.

Ithaca n Y May 13.-It was a terrible shock
to the students and faculty of Sibley College,
Cornell University, when the death of Ralph
Goldsmith Young, 'O1 brilliant young post
graduate and instructing engineer, was an
nounced after that twenty-five year-old youth
had established a record for persevering stead
fastness in scientific research never eclipsed
at the university. He realist, and he
sacrificed his life with an unusually promising
career to the furtherance of collegiate research
work.
Health and limb had often been given up to
the work which is now making Cornell Univer
sity famous throughout this country, but life
that was a different matter. A feeling of awe
sprang up in the hearts of the two hundred stu
dents and faculty members of the Sibley En-
cheering College, feeling that will be held
by every man until time wears away the keen
edge of sorrow.
Young was not only exceptionally enthu-
siastic worker in the college. but aimed to es-
tablsh new ideas. to discover new theories, and
he worked tireessIy to realize these ambitions
1t was while engaged in weeks thesis test and
supervising the work of twenty young seniors
that he overtaxed his strength and was over
come.
Young worked for ninety hours in the cellars
of the General Electric Works of Connellsville
Penn with only six hours for sleep and rest
During that time he spent six hours in water
a foot deep while the thermometer registered
near the freezing point. Pneumonia followed
the exposure and Young died in three days.
At the word every wheel of the big Sibley
machine shops stopped. books were laid aside,
instruments and tools were dropped, and as one
man the students met without the doors of
the college. When the body was borne to the
station that day two long files of students and
professors marched beside the bier, and the
coffin placed upon the train to be taken
to Athens-on-the- Hudson for burial two hun
dred throats Joined in singing Alma Me- ter"

rypesetter lnvestlaation.

Oyster Bay, Sept. 11.-President
Roosevelt yesterday made public the
report on the Keep commission on its
recent investigation of affairs in the
government printing Office at Washing
ton. The inquiry was made by special
direction of the President on account
of protest which he had received
from the officials of the Mergenthaler
Typesetting Machine Company against
the award of a contract by Public
Printer Frank w. Palmer to the Lans.
ton Monotype Company for seventy.
two machines Of its make.
BY order Of the President, the con-
tract with the Lanston company was
held up until an investigation could be
made with the view of ascertaining
whether the charges of favoritism
and corruption in the letting Of the
contract were substantially founded,
as heretofore chronicled in these dis.
patches. The President decided, af.
ter an examination Of the Keep report,
that the contract for the Lanston ma.
chimes should stand.

DEATH OF DAVID a. MILLS.
Former Colorado Secretary Of State
Dies at Denver.

1u08 AZ DSVNVTs
Denver, Sept. 11.-David Abner Mills,
former secretary OF state, pioneer OF
Colorado, and for years leader of the
Populist party, died of tumor of the
brain at his home, "a Byers street, at
$3.50 yesterday morning. Mr.. Mills had
been critically Ill for several days.
Mr.. Mills was born in Laceyville,
Pennsylvania, September 20, 1850, and
received his education in the common
schools of that state. He was a dill
gent student, making specially OF
economic subjects and was learned on
matters of public moment.
From Pennsylvania he went to Pu-
'eblo, Colorado, in 1877, with the inten-
tion Of making his home there. The
California gulch gold fields at Lead
Vile were opened within year and
Mr.. Mills determined to try his luck
In the mines. He went to Leadville in
1873, and lived there through the en-
tire boom Of that camp. He mined In
that city, in Aspen and Red
Cliff, and in the latter camp
was most successful. He was
married to Miss Jean Livingstone
Forbes in Leadville in 1883. The pres
ent governor Of the state, Hon. Jesse
Mcdonald, was the best man. In 1895
he moved with his family to Denver.
He wassa leader in the Populist
movement at its beginning and became
active in the affairs of the party at Red
Cliff. He was elected state senator
from the Twenty-first district on the
Populist ticket in the election of 1892.
He was one of the first chairmen of the
state central committee Of hjs marty
and 1t is said, did more than any one
man toward achieving success for the
Populists. In 1900 he was elected Sec
retary of state on fusion ticket, be-
ing one of the Populist officers chosen
to serve with the Democrats. He
served with distinction in this Office.
he was member of the Masonic and
the Elks lodges Of Denver.
He is survived by widow and three
children, Edward, Isabelle and David

How China Boycott. America.

Since the boxer uprising nothing has
happened to stir up the people of China
so much as the present agitation
against the United States, says Chez
Foo correspondent Of Leslie's Weekly.
This is commercial demonstration
made in view OF the renewal of the
treaty between these two countries re-
garding the entrance and residence of
Chinese subjects in the United States.
The present movement Is one to boy
colt all American trade, all schools
conducted by Americans, and all
American employers in all the ports of
China. 1t ranges from Singapore on
the south to Tien-Tsin on the north,
and from Shanghai on the east coast
to Ichang in the west, a thousand
virulent at Canton and Shanghai. The
powerful Chinese merchant guilds are
pushing the matter, and as they have
branches In every port city of China
they WELD considerable power. Even
the old Empress Dowager, who prob
ably had never spent thought before
on the difficulties Of Canton coolie
entering the Golden Gate, has been led
to express her sympathy with her ill
treated children"
The student class, who are much con-
cerned in the treaty, have taken up the
movement eagerly, and as result one
mission school in Shanghai had to
close Its doors, and several other larger
institutions were depleted of a large
number of students because of this boy
colt. Meetings are held to agitate the
subject, and placards are distributed
vr posted in conspicuous places.

Gunshu Pass, ManchuriA, Sept. TO-
News having been received that
peace negotiations at Portsmouth are
approaching q conclusion. the cOrre-
spondent of the Associated Press has
made q survey of all the Russian po-
sitions from Mongolia to headquarters,
the object in part being to ascertain
the manner in which the efforts max
ing for peace were viewed by the
army.
The negotiations received no onicial
recognition In the field prior to their
successful conclusion. the army keep
ing in a state Of preparation for bat
tie until the receipt by General Line
witch of q telegram from Emperor
Nicholas declaring that the treaty had
been signed and that his majesty ac-
cepted the conditions arrived at.
This telegram. was ofacially pub
lished In the army newspapers on Sep
tember 9Th, and the outlines Of the
peace conditions were printed In the
same publication to-das.
The officers thereafted observed mil
itary decorum in the strictest sense.
but the soldiers, with the consent OF
the officers, engaged in feasting and
other forms of celebration. 1t will be
a week more before the entire army
is fully informed of the conclusion OF
peace, but the news was discounted
long since by the prevailing convic-
tion that since the appointment Of the
plenipotentiaries peace was fore
gone conclusion.
1t may be said that to the great
majority of the officers and men SO far
informed the news that the war is at
an end is most welcome. Thousands
are daily drinking to the health OF
President Roosevelt. The correspon-
dent, who is the only remaining for
eign newspaper representative with
the Russian army, was everywhere
asked by the men il he was an Ameri-
can and on being answered in the
affirmative. they captured him and
tossed him many times in the air after
the manner of the Cossacks, while
their officers gently protested against
the seemingly questionable form of
their admiration.
Everywhere along the railway where
newspapers could be obtained soldiers
eagerly scanned the news and then ex-
pressed their joy by singing, which
they continued late into the night, at
intervals cheering for President Roose-
welt.
The officers are holding races at

Recent advices from France state
that Prof. Moissan. the eminent SCI

and rubies. He employs for this pur-
pose the electric furnace, which hes
been SO improved that a degree OF
heat can be produced. approaching the
extreme temperatures, which were un-
doubtedly factor In the formation OF
minerals and gems in the interior Of
the earth.
The rubies obtained are of large
size. weighing 10 or Is carats. and in
quality and color equal and even sur
pass those found In the earth. The
natural forces attending the formation
OF diamonds seem to have been more
complicated, and SO far the diamonds
resulting from the efforts of the SCI
entists have been very small. but still
they are positively identified as the
carbon crystalline diamond. They
are remarkably clear and bright, and
on small scale as fine specimens as
natures own product.
The electric furnace has enriched
chemistry with a whole series of
new compounds. Probably the one OF
most value to mankind at large is Cal

STRONGER THAN MEAT.
A Judge. opinion Of Grapefruit.

A Judges Opinion Of Grape-Nuts.
A gentleman who has acquired =
judicial turn of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sunflower
State, writes carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts
rs food. He says:
For the past years Grape-Nuts
has been prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indispensa-
BILE necessity in my family's everyday
life.
ut has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled US to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as preventive Of
disease 1t is beyond value. I have been
particularly impressed by the benef-
eial effects of Grape Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes. skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"As to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience is that orH small dish of
Grape-Nuts is superior to pound of
meat for breakfast, which is an i'm
portant consideration for anyone. 1t
satisfies the appetite and strengthens
the power of resisting fatigue, while
Its use involves none of the disagree
