A Week of Blunders.

Sir William HarcOurt once told me that he had dincd out every night for q whole week in advance of his invi- tatiOnS. He discovered his mistake only on the last night. when on going to dine with some people who gave long invitations and large dinners he found them alone. After very pleasant evening he thanked them for asking him in so friendly manner. where upon they explained that the invita- tiOu had been for week later. but that they had been only too delighted at his mistake. On hearing this Sir William looked at his engagement book and discovered that this was the last of number of invitations which he had anticipated by week.

Statements That May Be Investigated. Testimony of Stafford Springs Citizens.
 When a Stafford Springs citizen comes to the front, telling his friends and neighbors of his experience, you can rely on his sincerity. The state ments of people residing in far away places do not command your confidence. Home endorsement is the kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such testimony is convincing. Investiga. tion proves it true. Below is a state. ment of Stafford Springs resident, No stronger proof of merit can be had.
 George Irons, farmer, Furnace Ave. :, Stafford Springs, says: My back became very lame and sore and knew that my kidneys were disordered. I got supply of Doan's Kidney Pills at the Eaton Drug Store and the first box made great improvement. After l had used three boxes, I was free from the trouble. Since then when I have taken Doan's Kidney Pills, they have benefited me. ''

S0APING A GEYSER.

Food That Reused the Fury of the Sleeping Wsiroa.
 Some of the larger geysers in New Zealand will not play unless they are Boaped-a process only occasionally al- lowed, as too much SOaping Weakens the geyser. Paul Gooding in Pie turesque New Zealard' describes the SOaping of geyser named Wairoa, he being present at the ceremony. The author states that the officiating priest ess was Maori known as Kathleen, who was clothed in d flax mat com pletely covered with raka. riWi and pigeon feathers:
 'The caretaker approached Kathleen with big white bag ill hand. It was half full of yellow soap cut into small cubes. ,.~.;
 "'Are you ready. KathleenY ? he asked.
 "'Yes,' she promptly answered.
 Taking out two or three handfuls of soap, the caretaker threw them into WairOa's deep throat and then handed the bag to Kathleen. Grasping the string handle at the bottom of the bag. she opened the mouth, and out poured a SapOnaceOus stream. Ten minutes passed, but there was only q slight increase in the volume of steam at Wairoa's mouth. and there were no Subterranean signs of an i'm minent eruption. Fifteen, twenty min utes passed with very little change
 When thirty minutes had gone there was a rumble, then splash of water The people near the geyser backed away. Two or three more splashes followed, and each was higher than ifs predecessor; then came a hOarse roar. rush of steam, and up past low sulphur dyed sinter wall flashed Il column of water carrying up clouds of steam. Soap, just common wash ing soap, had conquered Wairoa and forced it from it's lair. Up it continued to go-ffty. sixty, eighty, 12O feet
 'Wairoa would have gone higher if it hadn't been for the wind the care taker told me. It has been known to go 18O feet
 While Wairoa played it played magnificently In it's shaft it rumbled, 1t flung it's hot breath upon the ven turesome, and for more than 100 feet around it shook the ground until the earth trembled For ten minutes it rose and fell. Then down it went, like thermometer on a frosty night, until it was a mere splasher."

ONE OF BOYLE's BIG
 DREDGEs FILLS AND SINKS

Dawson News, Oct. 10th: Boyle's fine large dredge No. 2 saLk in twenty to thirty-five feet of water in the Klondike river opposite the Bear creek bluff at 1:SO o'clock tais morning.
 General Manager J. W. Boyle and a large crew are at work trying to save the dredge. MT Boyle announces that the Klondike river will be turned at point near the mouth of Bear creek and the dredge right ed and gotten into shape as soon as possible. He hopes to have her in operation again this year.
 The cause of the dredge sinking is mystery. she was working in the river in the usual way when the crew noticed she was down eXcep- tiCnally far by the head, and in fifteen minutes she had filled so rapidly her hull was under water. She may have struck snag or rock. Only fifteen minutes before, says MT. Boyle, the interior of the hull had been inspected and found in good order. The boat now lies with 6 list to starboard. The crew aboard at the time the boat sank comprised Mckinley, winchman; Wickman, oiler; and McRae and Sla yin, deckers. MT. Boyle says this is one of the best crews in the service, and he is mystified as to the cause of the accident. The boys on the boat were in no immediate danger.
 Dredge No. ?, is the pioneer big boat of the Canadian Klondike fleet, with a daily capacity of 15,- 900 cubic yards. she and her sis ter boats of the same company here are the largest gold dredges in the world. No. 9 ocst a cool $425. 1000, ready to operate.

URGES LAW TO AID
 ILLEGITINIATE CHILD

Chicago, oct. 21-Legislation giving an illegitimate child the right to bear it's fathers name and full rights of inheritance ara re- commended by Judge Joseph z. Uhlir Of the Court of Domestic Re lations, tribunal that has attract ed attention the world over, in his review of the results of the third Year of the court.
 "The father of an illegitimate child gets off entirely too light in this state," said Judge Uhlir. "lf man deceives a girl and child is born. he may discharge all his obligations by paying S1OO the first year and $50 year thereafter till $55O is paid. Or he may avoid pay ing money by spending six months i jail. When it has been judicially determined that the defendant is the father of child born out of wedlock, does it not seem just that the child should get the full bene- fit of this finding?"

SUPREME COURT CpNVHNED
 YESTERDAY AT WAsERN0EoN

Washington, Oct. 2O--Mseting veg terday for the first time since the summer recess for the purposS ot handling down decisions, the su- preme court of the United states has a docket of already argued cases of great importance. None of the cases equals in interest sev- eral of those handed down last sea- son. But there are number of knotty problems in the settlement Of which there is the most intense interest in a number of localities.
 One of these is the Maryland Grandfather case. This law would not prevent negroes from vot- ing for federal officers, but in state and municipal elections pro vides that, among other things, a man can vote iF his ancestors Vot- ed prior to January I 1868, or be- fore negroes were enfranchised. This law was applied in Annapolis, capital of Maryland, Rnd four ne- groes have appealed the case up to the supreme court. It is one of the most peculiar "Grandfather" clauses ever brought up to the supreme court, ia that 1t does not bar negroes, even in It's practical working out, from voting for presi- dent and congressman.
 Another race question decision which will be handed down in the near future, probably, if not today, will be that on the Oklahoma "Jim Crow" law, providing that common carriers must provide separate compartments for white and black passengers.
 A case in which men connected with big businesses are Vially in terested is the case of George G. Henry versus U. s. Marshal Henkel of N. Y. On this decision hangs the power of a congressional committee to force an unwilling witness to testify before it. Henry was partner in the firm of William Sal omon and Co.,, Wall street brokers He refused to testify before the famous Punjo Money Trust" in Yestigation committee.
