' The announcement of the sudden death ot Glebrge B, Farmer on Saturday was receiv­ed In this olty this morning. The hsws was a .severe blow to Jsla mony friends, who had ietaod.that he was improving and that he woald arrive in Asbury Park Jn a few weeks. .

The deceased left this city on Dec. 23 and oh Dec. 27 left New York, In company with ihlB father and sister, for an extended trip through' the west and California. While In Bauttlern California Mr. Farmer was taken with an attack of acute indigestion, and his condition (or a time was considered very orltical. A change for the better finally, occurfad and the physicians decided that it would be safe for him to start for homo providing that ha took it, easy and refrained from any unnecessary exertion. The party thereupon started for Sim Francisco, ex- peating to go from tiiero to Denver. Ac­cording to the telegrams which have been reoelved In this city, MrXXtrmor was 3trlckai! with a relapFe and died within two hours. The messnges which name from tho family of tho decoased in Montclair do not state where he died, but the supposition is that it wan In Ban Francisco.

I t Ib also a matter of conjecture amdng his friends In this city as to what disposi­tion will he made of tho remains, although It Is believed that they will ba shipped to his former home In Montclair, where the funeral services will bo held and Interment made.

Mr. Farmer was recognized as one of As­bury Park’s most enterprising young busi­ness men. He came to this city nbout 12 years ago and purchased the coal nnd wood business of J . Stanloy Ferguson, which he had successfully conducted since that time. He was 34 years of also last October, and besides a father and mother he leaves two brothers and two slBtnrs, all residents of Montclair, whoro his father Is extensively ongaged'ln tho manufacturing business.

“Our hotels and summer resorts linve helped to make the American child what he is,'’ writes “ An Amorlcau Mother,” In the Ladles’ Homo Journal. “Even as an In­fant he learns to live lit u staring crowd. In what other country would tho baby daugh­ters of respectable families be exhibited to tho public in a content for prizes for beauty or flno clothes?

“You may see overv summer the poor lit­tle winners of1 stioh contests marched up and down ths street before a shouting crowd to the music of a brass band, trem­bling with conscious pride In the dimples or plumed hat which won for them the blue ribbon. A child dead in hls mother’s arms Is a sight far leas tragic.

"In what othijr couutry would tha parlors of hotels be glvon up to tho euchre parties of children ln tho morning, and ihe ball­room to their germans at night? The vani­ties, the jealousies of adults thus rapro. ducad In miniature are not pleasant to look upon.”

REPUBLICAN TICKETOver fiOO Votes Were Polled—Count Fin-

lulled at Jtfldnlght Baturday—Tho 8 aeces»ful CandldateH.

The Pnsss on Saturday gave as many of the particulars of the Republican primary for Neptune township, held at West Grove, aa were obtainable up to the time of print­ing tho edition. 1 1

The candidates for freeholder, collector, assessor and commissioner of appeal wero nominated by acclamation. To determine the-candidateB for the other positions and the appropriations the polls were kept open until 7 o'clock. 4

There was considerable hustling for votes, especially by the candidates for committee­men and justice of the peace. Even the numerous candidates fo r! the minor office8

worked hard for tbe nomination. Indiffer­ent voters were hunt ed up everywhere and taken to tbe polls In carriages aud home again. When the ballot box was closed at7 o’clock over 500 tickets had been depos­ited, and as considerable scratching had beon done the election officers knew they were In for iv long job. And so It proved. The last ticket was taken from the box at 11.55, and so close wns tho result in one in­stance, for justice ot tha .peace, that not un­til tbo last ballot h«d been tallied was tbe outcome sure. i

There were three contestants for the two justice of the peace nominations, viz: P. F. Dodd, tbo present Incumbent; George Bills and William F. Garrison. One person la to be elected for the full term of flvo years, the other for threo years to serve tho unex- plred term of Robert E. Mayo, who sowie time ago moved from Ocean Grove to the borotjgh of Bradley Beach.

The candidate receiving tho highest vote, tho primary decided, should have the nomi­nation for tho full term, the next highest for tlio snort term. The three candidates made a llvply canvass among the voters for support, and, as tha result shows, Dodd just made the long term by a single vote over Bills.

Following is the result:Freeholder—William A. Berry.Collector—William Giffard.Assessor—William R. O'Brien. Committeemen (three' to be elected)—

David E. Havens (3 3 ears), £60; John Huls- hart (2years), 847; Harry G. 8 hreve(l year)> 235; Georgo C. Prldlmm, 157; Samuel B. Gueirln, 133; C. Edward Fords, 114.

Untler the State A id L aw 110 M iles o f

Roads W ere B u ilt Last Year.

The sixth annual report of Henry I. Budd, state commissioner of public roads, has just made its appearance, and It embraces a laro:e amount of most interesting reading to nlljn any way interested in the develop­ment of the highways of New Jersey. '

‘The increased appropriation,” says the report, “1100,000 to $150,000 for state aid to public roads by our lust legislature has en­abled us to largely Increase our mileage duriug the past year, having built 32 mlJes more than in 1898. The construction In 1805 (the first year upder’tbre" tftate aid system) was about 40 miles; in 1SWS about 50 miles; In 1897, 70 miles; in 1893, 85 miles, and In 1899,110 miles. The cost per mile last year was somewhat greater than during the year previous, owing to tho higher price of labor and of stone, and tho delay in obtaining the cars to carry tho stoue from the quarries to tholinos of work. In all parts of the state to which stono has to bo conveyed by rail­roads the contractors have been hampered the whole season by the lack of transporta­tion'. This has prevented the completion of a number of cpntracts within tho specified time. Tho desire for these roads has not in any wise decreased. Tho counties that havo been building aro coutlnually Injecting new roads, thus keeping about the same number of miles petitioned far ahead of the appro­priation.” _______

E a r ly A d jo u rn m en t Looked For.

The indications point to au early termina­tion of the session of the. state legislature. There are signs that In the closing duys consideration may bo given to somo of the important public measures demanding at­tention. One of these is the atato sewerage commission bill, which has been reported to tho senate with a number of amendments, none of which will interfere seriously with the purposes of tho proposed law. Another bill is Seuutor Reed’s bill providing for the publication of. tax asses,smenl# ln every mu­nicipality, This bill has passed second reading lu the senate. The purpose of tho bill Is to enable every taxpayer to revise tux assessments. •L„.. ., 1

The final games of basketball a t Central hall on Saturday nig he proved tbe best of tho season, and they wfere played beforo the largest audience.

A double attraction had been arranged as the closing event, the Oreos Juniors lining up against the Asbury Park Athletic club, and tho Oreos Seniors against the Iroquois club of Brooklyn.

In the first half the Oreos Juniors quickly got tho lead over their rivals, the score at the end standing 10 to 5 In favor of the Oreos. In the second half neither team was able to basket the ball for some time, Hicks finally mado a go il from the field for the Oreos and that ended their scoring. The athletic club boys added 4 points to their score in this half, but wore unable to go any higher. The game ended 12 to 9 In favor of ,the Oreos. The teams wero evenly matched and Home excellent plays Were made.

Tho game between tho Senior Oreos and the Iroquois was as lively and exciting as any game played this reason in Central hall. The Iroquois boys were the best natured players from a distance that havo yet played the Oreos. They played swift and fast, but the team work of the Oreos demonstrated early In the contest -that they would win and they did.

Hankins, left fbrward, mado four goals from the field fn the first half; Dudley right forward, two, and Arthur Rogers centre, two. I a the second half Dudley had four goals to his credit, A. Rogers one, and W ill Watson, left guard, one. W at­son’s friends cheered loudly, as he seldom makes a goal, although he is an excellent player.

Miller, right forward for the visitors, made a field goal in tho second half, a$ did also Comiskey, left forward. Ritter, right guard, made a goal from field In the flist half. Flvo points were made on fouls. The The score at the ond stood: Oreos, 29; Iro­quois. 11.

The Brooklyn boys wero delightod with their treatment, and tho Oreos boys wero pleased to havo such a gentlemanly team visit them. Tbo Iroquois team wants a re­turn game at Brooklyn." The visitors regis­tered at Parker’s hotel over Sunday.

p a r tm e n t Saturday N igh t.

The gasoline stove got in its work again Saturday night at Ocean Grove. Very for­tunately the blaze was quickly controlled and the'damage was slight.

About 8.30 the alarm was sounded from box 34, at Heck and Whitfield avenues, by someone who had run six squares to do what might have been done at either of two points within three squares of tho flre.

Tho entire department quickly responded, but their services were not needed. I t ap. pears a lady who occupies a second floor room in the boarding house of Mrs. Kate

Jobes, at 131 Clark avenue, near Benson, was doing some cooking, using a gasoline stove for the purpose. Something boiled over,, causing the flame from .the stove to flash up and communicate with several articles of wearing apparel that were dry­ing on a line above the stove.

Tho other inmates of the house, hearing the commotion, rushed upstairs and quickly succeeded ln controlling the flames. Mean­while the alarm had been turned in by someone on the street who saw the flames through a window. The flro was probably extinguished beforo the alarm struck.

In the days when fortune telling was more in vogue than at present, the shape and appearance of the linger nails were looked on as having refer­ence to one’s destin^y. The nails were flrst rubbed over w ith a mixture of wax and soot, and, after being thus prepared, were held so that the sun­ligh t fell fu lly upon them. On the horny, transparent substance were .supposed to appear signs and charac­ters from which the future could be in­terpreted. Persons, too, w ith a certain description of nails were supposed to possess certain characteristics. Xlius a man with red and spotted nails was of a fiery, hot-tempered disposition, whilst pale, lead-colored nails, denoted a melancholy temperament. Ambi­tious and quarrelsome people were dis­tinguished by narrow nails. Lovers of knowledge find liberal sentiment had round-shaped nails. Conceited, ob­stinate and narrow-minded persons were possessed of small,nails, lazy, in­dolent individuals of fleshy nails; and those of a gentle, tim id nature of broad t.ails.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

The doctor came into the room rub ­bing his hands and smiling.

‘‘Everything all right?” asked the man who was anxiously w aiting for him .

“Couldn’t be better,” returned the doctor. *

‘Good,” said the man, w ith a sigh of relief. Then, when he saw th a t the, doctor intended to say nothing more/ he asked, w ith some hesitation: “E r— ah—boy dr g ir l?”

The doctor stopped rubbing his hands and looked a trifle uneasy, as Jf the task before h im were no t just to his, liking.

“Well,” he said, at last, “you’ll need a tandem bicycle for it.” — Stray Stories. . *

APIS NOMEI Few know where it Is, yet thousands ore already malting’ prepara tions to reach Mb

golden coast aa early as possible. Sto­ries of vast fortunes to be picked up have reached the Yukon and Klondike m in ing districts, nnd nre now being re­pealed in the United States, in Canada nnd all over Europe. Although the iirst discovery of the yellow .metal in the Nom t district'ivns no t made un til Sep­tember, 1898, yet at. the close of. 1809 ■the m in ing town of Nome had a popula­tion of 5,000; and a wide-awake city had: been firmly established on a barren and dcBoiate beach, liy next Ju ly the town w’ill:;no doubt havo 23,000 inhabitants, to say nothing of scores of populous suburbs, which w ill attract another 20,- OOO. Neither the inclemency of the cli­mate nor the high cost of living wilj'de- ter ihbn from wooing fortune where, ac­cording to common report, gold nug­gets are w ith in the reach of all who are w illing to take the trouble of appro­pria ting them.

“Tlio story of the disco'very of gold in the Nome district,” said Mr. Olaf Olson, who has recently returned from the dis­tric t,.to the writer, “ sounds somewhat romantic. Tn fact, it sounds queeri Jet. it hns obtained currency nnd credence nmong the miners; and is, I believe, destined to become history. I t is to the effect that two Swedish missionaries, sent out from the United States, had been exceedingly kind to the natives, wlio"were well acquainted w ith the tuih- eral wealth of the Nome district. In token of tlicir gratitude the natives Im- parted to the preachers the secret which

“The Kome gold belt is divided into ii' num ber of districts, known aa the Noitie, Bonanza,1 Eldorado, Discovery, Blake, Big Eour, Siaoolt, Cripple (iran. ite, Fnirview, Cape York and Norton' Bay districts. The entire country cov­ered by .these fields is rich in gold, but th%prospectors who go up there this spfing w ill find that all of the good claims .have already been taken up. Cape Nome, moreover, Is no place for a, poor iharu/'Everythinglsexpensive and competition is fierce. No one should at­tempt to go there unless lje has cnougli money1 to pay his passage Jrnck to the United States, because rtincteen out of every twenty new arrivals w ill make a failure. Anybody that starts with less than a complete outfit and nt least $500, in cash is tak ing chances which no w is^m an should tnke.

VI have some good claims \Vhieh 1 shall' work this year; but nothing ns good as Brintesen, Lindblom or Ijinde- berg, each of whom is worth half a m il­lion do llb rsvnor quite as good as the fellows who are running the saloons of the town, who are getting rich at the expense of fellows that haven't sense or resolution enough to hold gn to wha* they work for. Whisky kills more men in cold countries than, exposure or dis­ease, and not until its sale is prohib­ited w ill'our m ining camps prove really prosperous.”

I t is Mr. Olson’s opinion that last year’s gold1 yield at Nome amounted to

■ about $3,000,000, which is $2,000,000 less than the commonly accepted estimates. This year, he thinks, alt the claims opened up iu 1809 w ill be worked thor­oughly, assuring an output of jibout $15,000,000.

they had scrupulously guarded' for years; and the two missionaries, Jlev. N. O. Unit berg, of Chicago, and a Kev. Mr. Anderson, left their mission sta­tions at once to convince themselves,pf ‘the : trii'th' o f;tftc sTartting iiifofmation they had just received.-

“They arrived at Some in September, 1898, just before the freeze, nnd al­though they had but a few days to pur-

( sue their investigations took out from $1,500 to $1,800. Under the direction of Mr. Hultbcrg' the missionary society w ith which he is connected took up a mine which, during the season of 1S99, yielded a profit of $75,000. lie also took up a claim on his own account—1 as did Mr. Anderson—and both have made lots of money.

“Another story of the discovery of the Cape Nome gold fields is that it was

•120 men whohad spent the winter there, and ft few others who had come across from St. Michael on the ice to share in the first season’s spoils.

“After June miners began to arrive in regimeats. Town lots ond claims jumped ini vnluc from tens to thou­sand^. Lumber—and poor lumber at tlm t—was sold, ot $200 per 1 ,0 0 0 ; and skilled mechanics in the build ing lino- wore paid $15 for eight hours’ work. Nome is not a pretty town. It- runs along- the beach for a distance of two

'Trifles, facing the water. The tents and ..-wooden buildings'have absolutely no

protection from the cold winds of Behring sea, innd the mnni who braves nine months of w in te r in that dreary country deserves to accumulate a for-

The exact location of the Cape TSome district has puzzled many otherwise well-informed citizens. According to Mr. C. F. Schrader, of the United States geological purvey* it. is situated on the "iiorlInvest'co a&£ o f Amska, on tiie north­east arm of liehring sea, nt the en­trance of Xorton sound. I t is thr south­ern promontory of n large peninsula, .extending westward toward Siberia be­tween Kotzebue and Norton sounds, and largely separates liehring sea from the Arctic ocean. Westward this pen­insula terminates in Cfipe Prince of Wales, the most westward extension of the American continent, which is here separated from Asia by Ilehrjng strait, not more than f>(> miles in width.

The Cape Nome gold fields lie about 100 miles northwest of St. Michael, and just outside of the Fort. St. Michael m ilitary reservation.* By steamer route S'ome is nearly 2.700 miles northwest of Seattle, Wash., and about 750 miles from Dutch Harbor, Unalaska. The Cape. Nome region ex­tends from the cape, the apex of the promontory, 30 miles or more north­westward alohg the coast and nbout 20 miles in land to the north. In the m iddle of this shore line, at the mouth of Snake river, the city of Nome is lo­cated . ■

The m ining in this district is all ■ placer m ining. Gold is found in small .quantities,, scattered throughout the beds*.trf streams, in the earth adjoin­ing. and in the sands of the sea. The pay streak lies. near, the surface, and the actual labor of securing a fair yield is less than in the _Klondike. Moreover,under Canadian m ining laws the frontage of a claim is limited to 200 feet, while tinder American InwB a prospector can have 1.320 feet. This is probably one of the principal causes, why so many miaiers have forsaken the Klondike, whicli is under Cana­dian administration, for the Alaskan fields.

Geologists are of the opinion that the entire northwest peninsula of A laska is gold-hearing. an<,l in sup­port pf their statements point out that since last August several new discov-, cries of rich gold fields have been re­ported—one at Cape York, 128 miles ncrtluVest of .Kome, and another afc -Morton hay, 80 or 90 miles southwest. The entire region is a continuation of the great Yukon gold belt which, ac­cording to scientists, crosses Behring stra it and extends for hundreds of miles into Siberia. Surely all of W il­liam II . Seward’s dreams, who, in 1S67, concluded w ith the ^luSsiim govern-, ment- the treaty by which the 'United States acquired Alaska, have been tniqre.. than-realized, for unless all signs fail, 6our arctic territory w ill supply Jh p money markets of the World w ith yellow metal for many years to come, o, w . w e ip p ie r t .

Victor Breyer, Of Paris, the editor of “Le Velo,” th o ’ daily cycling p ub- li cat ion of Paris, gives warning to tho American racing men who intend mak­ing a tr ip to* Paris in 1000. Mr. Brey­er sa3*s: “I shoukj strongly' advise the American racing men to go care­ful ly nbout the ir plans for m aking Paris their headquarters in 3900. They must provide themselves w ith lots 'of money, enough, to s^e them through at least and a li t t le .^ o re for spending money. Tlicy m ust feet th a t the trip is one bf pleasure *xs well as of profit, for over thero they must rid a for every cent tl^ey receive and the races are very hard.

The Americap rider w ill find himself, still learning when the season of 3900 has drawn to a dose. Georgo Banker has taken years to a tta in his present proud po­sition in our country.

“Here in America, you Americans- w ill natura lly work moro or less to­gether to outw it our men. Over in France your American riders, who havo mnde poor successes of past trips, have given warning npon their return that the riders of Europe work together against the visitors.

There i3 an old adage to the effect thnt it is never‘too late to mend, cjid tha t seems to apply to the bicycle, or, rather, to the people who ride it . A Peoria (111.) man learned to ride a t the ago of 01 years ar.d now is 72. Dur­ing these 11 years he has ridden 00,000 miles, and is still going. To com­memorate liis career as a cyclist he has erected a monument over the spot •where he is to be buried, and on the shaft, the figure of a bicyle is carved.

'**£TM*nant's FranohlHC^laxation K ill.

Newark Nows.Taxation of corporate franchises is^to

be the subject of a hearing before the assembly committee on revision of the laws on Monday night. The particular biiFupon which argument, is to be heard is assembly No. 31, Introduced by Mr, Tennant of Hudson. It is a supplement .to, the general tax law, and provides that franchises shall be assessed ns real estate. The bill is a short one, and reads as follows:

“That the term real estate, as used in this act, Bball be construed to include all lands, all water power thereon or ap­purtenant thereto, and all buildings

thfereon or affixed to the same, tifGes and underwood growing thereon, and all mines, quarries, peat and marl bed*, and all fisheries; also all surface, underground or elevated railroads, op­erated by means of horse, electric or cable power, all mains, tanks, wires, or other means for conducting steam, heat, light, water, power, gas, oil, electricity, or any other property, substance or con* veyance thereof, including the value of all franchises, rights or permissions to construct, maintain, or operate the same in, under, above, on or through streets, highways, roads, lanes, or pub­lic places.”

The effect of this bill, if passed, would be to add to the list of local ratables a Species of property which has hitherto escaped taxation. I t has been held by City Counsel Price that under present laws it is within the power of the local taxing officers to assess franchises in the nature cf rights of way as real estate; but his conclusions are disputed by the state board of taxation, while at tbe same time that body holds that it is wttl>in*the power of the legislature to declare such property subject to tax, and it recommends the enactment of laws to that effect.

The bill above quoted leaves the whole matter of fixing the valuation of such franchises, levying the assessment and collecting the tax in the hands of the local authorities. To this feature there is pronounced opposition. Governor Voorhees in his annual message, while favoring franchise taxation, suggested that the duty of levying and collecting the tax be entrusted to a state board and— inferentially, at least— seemed to favor a fixed rate of tax to be universal throughout the state. It i* reported that the governor is now preparing a bill embodying his views on the subject, and the rumor goes that he proposes to give the state board of assessors the re quisite authority to levy and collect tl*3 tax, afterward paying to each munici* pality its proportionate share.

It is urged on behalf of this plan that -it would avoid inequalities in valuation lind rates of assessment and that, where the right of way of one company passes through several di/fdrent taxing dis­tricts, it would uot be easy to tlx a val­uation on each municipality's share. It is probable, however, that this latter difficulty has been exaggerated; such at least is the opinion of the state hoard of taxation. As to the former there seems no particular reason why corporate franchises should not be subject in each municipality to the same rate of^ tax as the property of private individuals.

W ashington, Mnrch 5.—[Special.]— Governuieut commissions are ou tlie Increase, When one expires, another is .provided to la ftp Its place, nml cou- gross’ is rertil.v to creaie more on short noliee. Comuilsslous have taken the place of congressional committees to some extent. The time was when there, was anything to investigate aud re­port upou a committee of congress would be authorized tp visit the place and take testimony aud make its re­port. At (lie close of the session, espe­cially whi'ii there wns to be a long va­cation, it was quire aj common tiling foj1 cacli hoime to ]Mi|S a half dozen resolutions directing some committee to perform a service requiring a jour­ney, “ tile expenses to be paid out of the contingent fund." The Indian com­mittee. or a portion of it, would vis­it fnroff Indian reservations. The public land committees would visit Yellow­stone park niift other far wostem points of tlie public domain. Terri­torial committees would visit Alaska aud other territories. Commerce com­mittees, river aud harbor committees aud iu fact dozens of other commit­tees; in times gone by had occasion'1 to make trips to gather information for congress. Then the papers got into a way of calling these visits “junkets." There was too much said about •'cougressioual junkets." Then senators and representatives, some of tfiimn were never fortunate enough to be taken along, had an unpleasant way of discussing every proposition of the kind as the “annual congressional junket."

S npp lnn ted l»y Com mini* ion*.

But the place of the congressional in­vestigation is now tilled by commis­sions. These are created generally hy act of congress, though in some in­stances the president appoints them of his own volition, such as the Philip­pine and other commissions growing out of the Spanish war. Those created by congress, like the industrial com­mission, the Indian Territory commis­sion aud others, are paid good salaries, traveling expenses when they are away from Washington and are really good places. In the place of congressmen doing this work it is performed by these commissions, who report to con­gress. Now there is a proposition for a commission to visit Asia and make an investigation of the commerce of. that country w ith a view of having , all the facts laid before congress. An­other commission is proposed to visit the commercial colleges of Europe to secure information there relating to the instruction given commercial agents of foreign countries. The Paris expo­sition commission has already been named.

A N a v a l Officer** E x p e r ie n c e .

“ I am now cruising in the Eastern branch.” said Lieutenant George Lo­gan of the navy. lie meant,,that he had been assigned to the Dolphin, which cfaft is anchored most of the time in tlie eastern branch of the Po­tomac river at WnslJugton. “Since I saw ypu,” he continued—nnd it ,was not tnhch more than a rear aso—" I have had considerable experience. I went with the Buffalo to Manila; was there at the Filipino outbreak. Asui- naldo or some of his followers have got my clothes. I sent them ashore to be washed, a ml they were conti sea ted by the insurgents. After a time spent cruising about the islands I came back and was on the Detroit in the south Atlantic. W e .have had four revolu­tions In Venezuela since I was there. As sooa'as a man is -triumphant and appoints a cabinet his siHTctary of war organizes a revolution, overthrows him, and the process is repeated. It can go on forever apparently. 1 was in Porto Rico before goin«; to Venezuela. The people there were hoping for absolute free trade with the United States and will bn~ greatly “disappointed because they do not get it.”

In X e ro r A l>»cnt.

The most attentive listener at the f'lark- investigation is a blind mnn. W illiam ( ’ampbell. l ie comes «*arly and remains all day. lie gets a seat directly behind the witness and drinks in the whole proceedings, a beaming fact* betokening thorough enjoyment, l ie lias boeonm such a lixture that I am inclined to think they wpuhl sus­pend the proceedings if he was not there. It seems that he had the ac­count of’ the first day’s proceedings read to him aud became so much inter­ested that he decided to- listen to the remainder of the evidence. Some per­sons w ith a tendency to psychological strnly ask him from time to time what be thinks of the evidence, w ith ihe"re­sult that they declare the man must see a witness to get the correct impres­sion of the testimony he gives. The blind man, they say, is deceived by the* language of a witness wheu he eauuot see the manner in whieh the testimony is given.

I t is quite probable that the Porto Rioan tariff bill will pass the senate. Comparatively there is a much larger Republican majority in the senate than in the house, and there is no great dis­position to vote agaiust the bill, al­though a number of Republicans do not like the Idea of levying a ..duty on, Pbrto Rican goods.

. -'Nr’;. ’invi . *London,’ March H.—Thc long period o*

idleness In northern ( ‘ape Colony is at an end. The British* arc advancing, and the Boers are retreating all along the line. The Boers retreating from Colesberg are being £ollo^ved> up rapidly. General Clem­ents. is now at< Aehtertang, the last sta­tion but^one before Nerval's Pont.

The British are trying to seize the Bloemfontein and Norval’s Pont railway, when the Boers*in the southeast and the southwest of-'tllCi Free State would be cut off from tlfe:main body at Winburg.

There has been ' fighting at Lahti- schagne’s nek between General Brabant and the Boers. The nek was captured, but the Boer force proved larger thau had been anticipated. The British did not score any success. Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener have returned to Osfon- tein. The Boers are now within five miles of tho British position, but there is, no intelligence . nt hand regarding the British Commander iu chief’s intentions or movements. ■/

Re-enforcements are arriving daily, so that he mffigf have between 50,000 and 00,000 men,* if not more. The force in Natal,numbers 40,(100, nud there nre 50,*000 elsewhere in-Cape Colony. The Boer force now of all arms is placed by good judges at 00,000 men, but it is still much scattered. The force facing Roberts probably consists of local commandoes and first .detachments sent to Cronje’s help.

At Ladysmith Generals Buller and White are busy carrying out the changes rendered necessary hy the removal from Ladysmith of the garrison so soon as fresh troops take their place and the san­itation of thc camp i* accomplished.

There has been a skirmish at Besters, half way between Ladysmith and Van Reenen’s pass',-..-which shows that the mounted men1 dire followiugj up. the re­treating Free Staters.

The inactivity of the Ladysmith garri­son and its failure to co-operate with Buller i.s now explained. General White’s troops nre so exhausted from want of food that the men could not march two miles. The artillery endeavored to har­ass the retreating Boers, but could not get near enough to them to inflict ‘any damage.

Big Doer Gnn Cnptnrcd.The Boers’ big 5.0 inch gun on Bul-

wana hill, it is reported, has been cap­tured by the British. Attempts had been made by the Boers to remove it after the arrival (ft DmidonaH’s forces, bnt they were defeated by the last of the' few shells wllich remained to the naval guns at Ladysmith.

Fighting has‘irtlready begun to thc east­ward of Osfonteit). according to a dis­patch to The Morning Post. General French, with a? large mounted force, found tho Boers ’intrenched on a kopje. Fighting was preceding when the mes­sage was sent.. ^

The war otllce'has received the follow­ing dispatch from Lord Roberts, dated Osfontein, Sundtfy, M arch 4:

•General Cronje, on behalf of his par­ty. and Commandant Wohnarans. on ,be- hnlf of 4.000 other prisoners, who have all now left Modder River, asked the British officers tO-thank me for the con­sideration ami hmdncss with which they have been treated:

‘General ClemMtts reports that his ad­vanced troops hohfc-Achtertang and that railway communication would be opomsd to Jouhcrt’s siding today. The enemy is still in force at Norval’s Pont bridge.

“General Gatncre telegraphs that the number of B o c ^ a t Stormberg is daily diminishing.

“Colonel.Badcn-Powell reports that all was well at Mafeking on Feb. 1T» and that the enemy’s activity was being met everywhere by equal activity on the part of the defenders.

‘The position is unchanged at Osfon- tein, except that frequent heavy showers have materially improved grazing, to the benefit of tin* horses and transport ani­mals.** .

Englnnd'fl DIjc W a r Bndpret. V Today the chancellor of the exchequer

will present his budget to the house of. commons. •

Forecasts intimate that a loan of £5^,- 000,000 will be necessary, in addition to which the treasury must raise £7.000,000 more than last year to cover the increase in normal expenditures and interest on the loan made necessary by the war ex­penditures.

A member of parliament who is a keen political observer said ,vi*sterday that the government’s scheme of taxation will be to increase the income tax to a shilling in the pound and increase the duties on beers and spirits. Regarding the present cabinet's future, he said:

,rYou may put it down that Lord Salis­bury will retire as soon as the wjtr is over and that the dissolution of parlia­ment will follow upon the proposition of the government for annexing the Boer re­publics. That is Chamberlain’s particu­lar policy, and I believe he will he return­ed to power With his hands fully strength­ened. as the great mass of the people consider that the only logical result of the war.”

He said among other things: “While watching, from a distance the vi- eissitud'es of the siege it was a comfort and a consolation to me to feel that Mr. Rhodes wini in yourfmidst, nnd I feel sure from Mr. RhodesrVimtiring energy nnd remarkable personality tliat he would do much to enable you to bear your trials and troubles." _____ •

Placin Gacfttx at Table, ":- I t is doubtful if,the getting up of tbe

entire menu causes some hostesses more anxious thought than the seating of guests, riaccs at the table should bo found with as little eeremony ns possible. Etiquette demands that guests to a dinner party should arrive punctually or give some good reason for uot doing so. I f oue finds out that he or she canuot arrive at the hour des­ignated, a message should be sent to tho lostess to avoid anxiety or waiting. In many cases the hostess delays the dlnnef lUjtll the tardy guest arrives. When the dinner is announced, the host leads the way to the (lining room with the eldest lady oi* the special guest to whom the dinner is given. The guests follow, two by two, and the hostess comes last w ith the gentleman whom she wishes to honor. Tlie guests pro guided to their places l^y the menu cards or by a word from their hostess. A very fashionable custom is to have a servant stationed in the hall, who pre­sents ench gentleman guest w ith a card upon which- is tlie name of the lady whom he Is expected to escort to din­ner. On reaching the draw ing room the gentleman, in accohlance w ith cus­tom, immediately seplts his partner and acquaints her with tlie fact.

I saw the funniest sight tlie other morning, writes a correspondent. Uight aheml of me trotted a woman. She, wore it wrap that nearly reached the hem of her loug tailed gown. Desper­ately she clutched the rear of cloak aud loug tall to keep her train from the mud and grime of tlie streets.

"By the gods of war,” said the man w ith me, ‘•that's a picture for a car­toon." Then he went off into w ild hursts of laughter until the street ar- nbs stared him out of countenancc.

It was a most comical sight. And the horrible discomfort of it all! I wonder how tlie poor soul could get overbuy ground.

W e are, take us all in all, about as miserable a-set tills w inter as one would core to sec. Our lightweight ciiitTon hats that may be worn if there la a blizzard raging nre the only arti­cles that do not torment our souls. Long wraps, long trains! I f this isn’t piled up agony then I don’t know ng- ouy when I see it.

B a r g a in sdaily Jife of tlie princes, big and little, is on the following linep : They rise at six punc­tually, summer and winter. At 7:30 they hnve first breakfast, with the empress, con­sisting of tea and bread and butter. At eight lessons begin, the younger princes having Jessang together «nd their elder brothers alone. This instruction is pretty severe, all ihe princes of the imperial house being, among other, tbnga, ..thoroughly grounded in foreign languages, particularly French. At 0:30 comes a second breakfast; then les­sons again, with drill and military exer­cises, until 1:13— lunub,,time. After dinner they amuse themse|ves for a time, then sci­ence and music lessons fill up the time until six, when supper is served. After this ccmes a final hour of recreation before bed, the yonnger children retiring at 7:30, their elder brothers at nine. The crown prince and liis next brother play the violin and piano. A sergeant major drills them, ^nd

roll of the marines as sub-lieutenant at six yea»s old, and who is expected to become some dajum admiral in the^erman navy, is instructed in everything pertaining to naval matters during the hours devoted to military studies. Little Princess Louise, ivh£, With the two younger boys, Prince Oscar and Joachim, recently accompanied her father antt mother' to Kngtand, is brought up in similar practical manner, though with less regard to her playing any part in public, for the first essential in a German woman, be she peasant or princess, is that she should be a pattern haus frau. It is even said that one Christmas one of her presents was a complete apparatus for washing and ironing. Little Princess Louise, the only girl among six boys, is re­ported to be her parents' favorite, and for this reason was brought over to be shown to her greatgrandmother, the queen.

Every morning I try my voice crit­ically’ ou cach note w ltliin my range. I examine It with a microscope, so to speak, nnd wherever I find it even a shade below' what I think I can do with It I practice until I bring it where I think it should be.

Cainpaiilni once said to me: “I can­not keep my voice in proper shape without my dally practice. I f I om it it one day, there may be when I sing at night no perceptible difference in the Quality of my tone; If I om it the prac­tice two days, I detect a fa iling when I sing in the evening, but If I om it It three days my audience notices it.”

As for me, I am studying a ll the time. I think I can say w ith truth that I am able to accomplish today what was •impossible for me to do a couple of years, ago. I hope to do more and bet­ter things In the future tlian I do today. There must be a constant development tn any good work, otherwise there-will surely be retrogression.—Em ma Eames In Harper’s Bazar.

L a lt V lr ff io a l. WILLIAM GIFFARDOne of the greatent bicycle stables In

the country is located inside of the walls of the treasury department in Washington. I t is under, the roof of a large shed bu ilt in the north court of the treasury building and has a floor area of about 10,000 square feet.

Jn ordering the construction of the shed the only purpose the secretary of the treasury had was to provide added protection for the extensive vaults un­der the court where a hundred million dollars or more silver coin anti bullion is stored. Moisture was finding its way iifto these vaults, and pending authori­zation by congress for the reconcreting of the vast subterranean area a wooden roof over the space was decided upon, says the New York Telegraph.

To the captain of the watch occurred tiie happy thought that if the roof were raised a few feet higher than the archi­tect’s plan contemplated the hundreds of bicycles which then invunibered and blockaded the corridors m ight be con­veniently and safely stored there. He suggested tlie chang? and it was made.

Sow the 1,900 employes of the de­partment, or such of them as m ay be ad­dicted to the bicycle habit, have stalls for their wheels, each being assigned to a special number. Nearly 500 wheels are stabled there*from nine to three every day. The sight is one worth see­ing and is one of tlm curiosities of Washington about which few outside of the department have ever heard.

Tho P o le Stur.

Prof. CampbcU, of the Lick observa­tory, says the north pole star is ap­proaching our solar system at the rate of seven miles per second. This ve­locity he calculated by means of the spectroscope. The professor further announces that the star is not single, but double. The companion star is not visible to the naked eye, but can be made out with a powerful telescope. The two stars revolve around their common,J,eenter of gravity in a period of lour days, their orbit being com­parable in size to thnt of our own m o o n m T is also further believed that a third body is attracting the two-star system, thus causing n periodical vari^ ation in the velocity of the pole star/— Chicago Tribune.

Many skins \yill not stand constant washing, a practice which indeed tendsto coarsen the complexion. Thor­ough washing once a day ia sufficient for most women* and is far prefer­able to partial and careless ablutions morning, noon and night. Instead cf cleansing the face iu water when com­ing in fn jm a walk, or when one feels that a wash would be refreshing, it is a capital th ing to bathe it w ith lait virginal. I t is an excellent purifier, easily made -and harmless. I t is, moreover, deligh.tftilly refreshing. I give the, recipe: ltose, orange flower, or elder flower water, one p int; sim­ple- tincture of benzoin, two ounces; tincture of myrrh, teardrops; gylcer- inc, ten drops. Place the rose wa­ter in a bowl, and while stirring it, w ith a glass or porcelain 'spoon, add drop by drop the benzoin, then the myrrh and glycerine.

Be sure you get the simple tincture of benzoin, as the compound tincture contains other ingredients quite un­suited to the purpose. Some skins will not stand glycerine. I f this is the case with yours, all that need be done is to om it it from the emulsion. Xever use pure glycerine to the skin of the face, as it tends to induce hairy growth.

The lait virginal should be ap­plied w ith a soft rag, rrnd one is often surprised at the amount of dirt, un­suspected because Undetected, which is brought away.— Philadelphia Press.

“That’s a kind of coal,” ♦said little Willie.

“Yes. Anthracite coal is^what we call hard coal. So anthracite must mear! hard. Now, can you tell me what bitum inous means?” ”

“That’s coal, too,” Willie, replied. “But it isn’t the same kind of to a l

that anthracite is? Bituminous coal is what we commonly refer to as soft coal. Now, Wi5?ie, let us see if you can form a sentence containing the words anthracite and bituminous.”

There recently took place in this neighborhood a. wedding which wns as startling as any one could wish. It seems that tiie bride had peculiar no­tions about weddings, and she had made up her mind to have her mar­riage different from the ordinary cere­monial. There were to be no attend- ttnj>r^ex&pt the maid of -houor, tlie bride’s sister, and at the appointed hour tlie family congregated about a large, gnarly tree, the oldest growiug on the country placo where the a l fres­co service was to take place. A t the snme time the bride and groom, maid of honor aud the clergyman came from the house, and when they reached the tree they climbed It, and tiie ceremony was performed amid tiie foliage of the lower branches.—Louisville Courier- Journal.

The promoter who was showing her around told me she Ijnew as much about mines when she was through “seeing" ns any one with both eyes nnd was as judicious in her .purchases and that she was one of the most brilliant business women he had ever met.

yolte in front, having a slight fullness from the yoke, and caught at the waist line with a sea-green velvet girdle. The Valenciennes lace was in a Cascade across the round yoke, and fell in a pretty chseade at one side to the bottom of the gown. Tlie oriental sleeves w<;ro short, and had a, full frill of tbe valenci«nnes lace on them ex­posing the white ariu.

One that Was. exceedingly startling in color was of an automobile red made in the empire style, aad trimmed with dozens of yards of nar­row block velvet and small gold but­tons. The entire yolce was covered with rews of the black velvet, and a tight -sleeve with rows of the black velvqt to the elbow. I t had a flounce at the bottom with rosettes of the black velvet that caught the flounce every so often. The effect was quite pretty. Tlie small gold buttons were in clusters on the yoke and the high standing collar and on the sleeves.

Gowns were not the only things that I saw for breakfast wear, however, for there were dainty jackets quite as pretty as fhe more elaborate gowns. They were made to a great extent us the breakfast gowns, and my friend assured me that they wero quite as fashionable.

One of these of white Casnmere waa a lovely tight-fitting’ affair mnde with deep-rounded scallops around the bot­tom with a frill of lace under the scal­lops, and brought to the front in a narrowi way leaving the scallop in front without the lace. I t had a high collar and pointed vest of tucked white silk with a wide frill of lace around the back and to edge the pointed vest, with three large pearl buttons to fasten the jacket in front. The sleeves were of the white silk and made tight with clusters of tucks to the eibotv, and n frill of the lace at the elbow.

Anbtber that was very dressy, and quits the prettiest- oiio of them all, was a blue challle trimmed with crenm lace, and an applique insertion. I t «'Si« made with a short bolero, back snd long-pointed ends.in the front, with a deep ilonuce of the lace around the bottom of the jacket, anfl tb'c a p pllquo insertion down' the front" and around the long-pointed rends, then up the front to the bust line, and down to the waist line again, thus forming the short bolero, b a r a h DAVIDSO&

Great attention is paid in the German army to the condition of tlie soldiers’ feet. The German infantry soldier wears no..stockings. He rubs his feet with lanolin or vaseline, which is ren­dered antiseptic by tbe presence of u. little admixture of salicylic, carbolic acid or catnphor, and then envelops them In apiece of flannel. This lessens the friction between boot ond foot con­siderably and thus prevents the forma­tion of boils.—Chicago Chropinie.

New York, March —The World this morning gives the following list of sol­diers who have committed suicide in the Philippines:

A. K. Hernanl. private, hospital corps; Lieutenant D. T. Bowmun. Thirty-sev- eulh I ’nited States volunteers: Lieuten­ant C’olonel John J. Hrereton, Thirty- third I'nited States volunteer infantry; George Briggs, private. First Wyoming volunteer infantry: P ..B . Craddock, pri­vate, Fourth fn ited States cavalry; E.C. Crawford, private. Twenty-third Unit­ed States infantry; (Jeorge W , Curtis, private, Eighteenth United States infan­try: F. Dickelnian. private, hospital corps: l-’red A. Durham, hospital stew­ard: W. Gregory, private. Eleventh Unit­ed States volunteer cavalry: Sergeant Charles I Hat I. Fourth United States cav­alry; Corporal M. A. llillis, Thirly-sixth United States volunteer infantry: John ( ’. Hudson, private. Twenty-third United Stales infantry; .1. .1. Ivehoc. private. Second Oregon volunteer . inf au try; A. Kcllcrman. private. Fourth United States infantry: George X. Knox, private. Sixth I ’nited States artillery: Christ of Lov, private. Twentieth United States infan­try: Harry A. McDowell; private. First Colorado volunteer infantry; M. K. Mc­Henry. private. Fourteenth United States infantry: (».‘ Montag. private, Thirty-tifth I ’nited States volunteer in­fantry: Lieutenant ,1. L. Moore, Fifty- Iirst Iowa volunteer infantry: Sergeant P. E. Moran, Sixth United States infan­try; Lieutenant F. A. Pearce. Sixth Unit­ed Stale.' artillery: Thomas Hock, pri­vate. Twentieth United States infantry; J . H. Sell, private. Thirteenth Minnesota volunteer infantry: Lieutenant John It. Waugh, Thirty-ninth United States vol­unteer infantry: C. A. Zaisser, private, Sixth United States infantry.

The percentage of suicides in the Phil­ippines is the largest in tin* history of modern armies, and even rates higher than where, with besieged troops, some­times without food and water, tiie suffer­ing soldiers have sought au cud to their troubles iu death.

With the volunteer regiments now in the Philippines th*.* percentage of sui­cides is increasing, as the volunteer is not tilted by training to stand the hard­ships of a campaign as well as the regu­lar soldier and lueaks down more readily under the strain.

The numerous attempts at suicide if added to the list of those who have suc­ceeded and the suicides recorded as acci­dental or “missing” would swell the sor­rowful list close in the hundred mark and in the absence of otlicia! reports on the subject show in no uuccitain way the prevalence of insanity .among the trbops under General Otis.

P ro bn lile Cnuse o f Suicide**.The suicide of the soldier is essentially

the result of the immediate conditions surrounding him. and some one is respon­sible for this roll of national disgrace. According to war department officials, no soldiers were ever belter “treated, belter fed and clothed than General Otis’ army in ,the Philippines. This leaves but one cause to;be assigned—the deadly climate aud the trying hardships of a bushwhack­ing campaign and the white man’s bur­den in the Philippines an* too great for these strong, healthy men to bear.

The usual cause of death is mchincholia brought on by -much suffering and brood­ing over trouble, until temporary insanity grasps the victim and he lakes his life. W ith no lime to brood and with never a care, free from disease, usually stalwart nml strong, full of. con rage and vigor, the Ame.ricau soldier must undergo unusual hardships to drive him to temporary in­sanity and suicide.

There is only one. fan sc to which can be assigned insanity among the troops in the Philippines. It is that the minds of white men from this .climate are readily undermined and unbalanced by the fever of such a climate ns that of the Philip­pines and especially if they have to-un­dergo any unusual physical exertions.

Matanzns, Cuba, March 5.—Gcnernl James IL Wilson, military governor of the department of Matan/.as-Santn Cla­ra, in the course /if an interview regard­ing Cuban affairs, said: ‘‘Trouble is ab­solutely out of the question. The future depends largely upon agricultural pros­perity, nnd where \vork is plentiful, wages are gond(and a country is prosper­ous no sensible man wishes to niter'con­ditions. Any person who publishes re­ports representing the Cubans as prepar­ing a rising does so with a malicious in­tent to misrepresent them or because he has been led to believe tills by those who know better. The prospects,of Cuba are very bright. I f sugar goes to the United States free or nearly so, there will he suelj an inllux of capital and of immi­grants as would fender Cuba ere long one of the richest anil most prosperous places in the world.

*‘The cattle industry yields enormous profits, particularly as respects working cattle, which can never be replaced hy mules because the peculiar conditions are better adapted to cattle. Coffee, timber and fruit also offer great inducements to capitalists, am j. tobacco planting yields almost immcdiatt* returns.

“ I do ?j£t consider that the immediate future «. Cuba, depends chiefly upon schools*, roudmnlring, improved sanita­tion or judiciary reform, although, of course, these tilings are of very great importance. The. best the United States can do for Cuba and the Cubans is to give every opportunity for improving the value of the l.vu$}by putting it to the best uses. In thin,.\yjvy capital could ‘do an immense amount of good here as well as get large returns.

“ I suggest supplying cattle for work­ing purposes on . a time basis, accepting regular rates of interest, which should be about 1 per cent a month. Cattle can be landed here at a cost of $70 a yoke, which, once here, would bring more than $130.

“Large numbers of working, cattle are required by reliable and hard working men, who nre anxious to obtain them. Were 1 a man of ,*i, with energy and some capital. 1 should certainly look up­on Cuba as one of the best places to ac­cumulate wealth/* ir-

General ^Vilsoii says he has investigat­ed the repoils that Mr. Draki* of Chica­go has been endeavoring to foment trou- ule ami'has found these untrue. So far ns lie is able to judge Mr. Drake is an honorable man, who is in Cuba for a pleasure trip.

New York, March 5 —Six pion, three of whom have been identified, nre dead; three meu, two of whom may bo among the unidentified dead, nre unaccounted for. and two others are seriously injured as the result of a fire in the lodging house at -14, 40 ami 48 New Bowery, a seven story brick structure known as the Gar­field. The (identified dead are Jacob Rice, 55 years ifid; John Clarke, 50 years old; Charles Buttle, 40 years old, and Stephen Carney, alias Thomas Sinythc, 75 years old. It wns at first thought that one of the ,nnidentified mpu was Henry Jackson, colored, but*4n the after­noon Jackson called nt the lodging house and reported that he had escaped uuiti- jured. The three mon- unaccounted for are James McGinnis, DeUia Haley and Charles Jameson.

The injured are Martin Gallagher, 53 years old; burned nbout the face and head, removed to Hudson ^Street hospi­tal, and IOdward' Walker, 47 years old, burned about the hands aud face.

The lire started in room 81, third floor, south side of the building. It is not known for certain how' it originated, but the supposition is thut the lodger iu this room went to sleep—with a Righted pipe in his mouth nnd that the burning to­bacco ignited the bedclothes.

My object is to interest humane aud wealthy people in fitting out one or more ambu­lance corps. Kach corps should have at least ten doctors, trained nurses and a iibcrltl quantity of hospital supplies. Some people seem to think that the war in South Africa is ended practically, but that Is a great mistukc. I believe it will last for a considerable time—thnt, Jn fact, it is just beginning. Personally my sym­pathies tf re mi theside of the Boers, but of course that has inching whatever to do with my humanitarian work. 1 am not a novice In hospitul work. I made my Htudies in Bonn aud graduated as a nurse. In three wars—the American civil wur, the Fmueo-Frussinn wur n*nd the war in Mexico—J had ample opportunity id work. If 1 succeed in fitting1 out one or more ambulance corps, 1 shall accompany them to South Afrien.”
