P rio r, M ember of W ell-K now n F irm of S tock Brokers.

Cleveland, O., Jan. 10.—Leland W. Prior, one of ibe best known men In financial circles lu Cleveland, and Ju­nior member of the stock brokerage firm of Denison, P rio r & Co., shot and killed himself in a room at the Hol- enden hotel Tuesday afteroon. In tak­ing his life Mr. P rio r fired three bul­lets from a revolver, two of which passed through his head. He was alone at the tim e of the shooting and was quite dead when those who had heard the rei>orts of the pistol ran to the room.

The firm of Denison, P rior & Co., was one of the heaviest dealers in stocks and bonds in the central west. Mr. P rio r has been forem ost in financ­ing a num ber of large brewery consol­idations in Ohio and other states. In order to protect financial in terests it was decided 10 close business and put the firm 's affairs in the hands of a com m ittee. Charles E. Denison, senior member of the firm, was in Cleveland Tuesday, having come from Boston, where he lives. Since the organization of the firm of Denison, P rior & Co., Mr. Denison has lived in the east and has had en tire control of the east bond business of the firm. He says he has had nothing to do with the m anage­m ent of the com pany's office in this city.

It is learned th a t Mr. P rior had~beefl plunging heavily on Anaconda and o ther copper stocks and had sold “sh o rt” to the extent of half a million dollars. Instead of dropping, prices have gone steadily up, and the pressure became so g rea t th a t his fo rtune was carried away in the whirl. W hether he conducted all these transactions In his own nam e or w hether he involved the firm of Denison, P rio r & Co., of which he was the m anaging partner, is not known.

Q. W hat causes Constipation?A. Neglect to respond to the call of na­

ture promptly. Lick of exercise. Exces­sive brain work. Mental emotion and im­proper diet.

Q. W hat are the results of neglected Con­stipation?

A. Constipation causes more suffixing than any other disease. I t causes rheu­matism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel, kidney, lung and heart troubles, etc. It is the one disease that starts all others. Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, loss of Bleep and strength are its symptoms—piles, appendicitis and fistula, are caused by Constipation. Its consequences are known to all physicians, but few sufferers realize their condition until it is too late. Wom­en become confirmed invalids as a result of Constipation.

Q. Do phvsicians recognize this?A. Yes. 'the first question your doctor

asks you is “Bre you constipated?” That is the secret.

Q. Can it be cured?A. Yea, with proper treatment. The

common error is to resort to physics, such as pills, salts, mineral water, castor oil, in­jections, etc., every one ot which is in­jurious. They weaken and increase the malady. You know this by your own ex­perience.

Q. W hat then should be done to cure it?A. Get a bottle of Mull's Grape Tonic

D on't “catch cold." N ever take any­th ing th a t doesn 't belong to you.

I t is Impossible to have a cold get possession of you If you m ain ta in the norm al tem p era tu re of the surface of the body and keep the sk in in a healthful condition. Equilibrium Is health . Keep up your vitality- to the propec point, and no disease, con ta­gious o r o therw ise, can ever rob you

« of your b irth rig h t, health .How to A void C a tch in g Cold.

Keep th e four elim inating agents (lungs, bowels, sk in and kidneys) nor- tnally active w ithou t reso rting to d ras­tic drugs. T ake a daily bath (cold w a­ter, if practicable. See previous ai- tirle on bath ing).

Avoid overeating .Take some form of exercise daily In

the open a ir.Always breathe th rough the nos­

trils.Discard woolen underw ear.Dunk freely of cold w ater.Don’t coddle yourself.Don't overburden your body w ith tot)

heavy clo th ing—oute r o r under.Give your body a chance to breathe. Don't fear every little b rea th of

air.Hut your mind as well as your body

in a positive condition.Do not unduly expose yourself when

overheated.lie neither too careless nor too ca re ­

ful.Meed na tu re 's slig h test w arning, and

heed ii a t once.As a m a tte r of fact, a “cold" Is not

a cold nor is it caused by cold. W heu th e so-called cold begins to develop 11 Is a fever in its incipient stage. Like consum ption, i t is a house disease. It can neither a ttack nor exist unless there is a lack of fresh a ir in the lungs, and the sk in is abnorm al.

During all my arm y experience in the civil war, a lthough g rea tly ex­posed. I never “caught cold." but the first n igh t a t hom«, in a com fortable tied, the “cold" caugh t me. I t is when we are unfortified th a t the enemy a ttacks us. The m om ent the body becomes negative we become subject to encroachm ent, and if th a t enemy Is the so-called “cold,” it a t ­tacks th e most vulnerable po in ts— throat, nasal passages, lungs, etc.

Take care of your th ro a t and lungs by protection w ith in as well as by pro­tection w ithout. See to it th a t you keep the m outh Closed when you pass from a warm room to the cold a t­mosphere outside. Do not muffle up your th roa t when w in ter comes. Nu- tu ie <’o«s not need the protection, but a ile r licromiug accustom ed to It she will rfsen t the rem oval thereof. The prolecilon inside depends upon cor­rect breath ing; outside, upon the shielding of the back of the neck from nr.v undue exposure. The m ajo rity of <o!ds. o r inflam m ation due to colds are due largely to d raugh ts on the l-.a’k of th e neck. Do not m isunder­stand me. If you are in health (and health in you I. you can defy draughts. Hut I am sending o u t a w arning note to those who are less fo rtunate , to those who have health to get ere they have health to keep.

« • • • • Nature gives you an a larm In th e

first rh llly feeling. A t the first w arn ­ing. get all the fresh a ir you can. Take a brisk walk or run and breathe deeply through the nostrils un til the surface 01 ihe body is w arm , and all chilliness lias disappeared.

If >ou are in a hall, church, theater -or any o th e r public place (and can 't gel o u t) , as soon as the chilliness is felt, begin to b rea th e deeply and rapidly un til you feel the necessary w arm th. T here a re two thlngB. rlgnt here, you Bhould no t do; first, do not get m entally negative and expect the cold (you’ll get i t If you do); Becond. do not sh rug your shoulders and tu rn around to find som e one to close the

t window (th e average Jan ito r will close all of them ), but. Instead, have more of y iem opened. I t ’s fresh a ir you need, not more dead air. If In a closed s tree t car (you business man that has been confined all day) you And the a ir heavy, and you begin to sneeze. get ou t as quickly as you can anu sit o r stand ou tside and breathe deeply. T hat sneeze was natu re 's v o re of warning.

Never 1 >se -tight o f th e fact th a t "catching cold” depends m ore upon yta'e- a ir than upon cold air. T hs w o .st colds of t> life tim e are caugh t wheu one Is tired, fagged ou t and sits Jis’lcssly In a room o r place w here the a ir is impure.

It' you get the “ snuffles,” th e fore­runner of a “cold In the head ,” do not begin breath ing th rough the m outh, am* thus give the cold full control, but persisten tly breathe th rough th e nos­tril i as you walk o r o therw ise vigor­ously exercise In the open a ir.

If you have "c a ta rrh of th e head ,’’ let me caution you about snuffing any liquid th rough tue nostrils. You may

relieve the c a ta rrh (locally), but you will dc It a t the expense of the hear ing. The fluid en ters the eustach ian tube, causing deafness. Use a douche or atom izer Instead.

Do no t tem pt natune by trying to defy her. If you are overheated, avoid a draught. I t may be com fortable for a tim e, but th a t com fort will be sh o rt­lived. Do not, however, oonslderm oving a ir and every gentle zephyr a draught. This precaution Is given for the pur­pose of a too sudden checking of per­sp iration . Millions of canals o r tubes from the Inner p a r t of the body open th e ir little m ouths a t the surface, and through these channels, as ceaseless as th e Dow of tim e, a fluid contain ing the w astes and Im purities o f the sys­tem is passing outw ard and em ptlod o u t of the skin. This fluid m ust have ex it o r we die. If It does not have ven t at the surface of the body, I t must have tom e In ternal escape. If these m outhb are gradually closed natu re has tim e to adap t herself by opening her channels into the g rea t in te rnal w aterw ays of the body, and th u s pre­vent bafm ; hence the safety of cooling off slowly a fte r any exertion, and the dangei of cooling off rapidly. I t were be tte r to say cool not a t all, but ge t less warm. The cooling point Is the danger point.

W hen s ittin g out on sum m er even­ings if the re is much dam pness In the air, s it under cover. Keep your feet from the wet boards or wet grass in o rd er th a t the v ita lity of your body bo n o t reduced by the dam pness conduct­ing >our electricity to the earth . I t is well to have your coat o r wrap w ith you in case it is needed, otherw ise you may not be inclined to exert yourself to get i t and may excuse yourself by th ink ing ; “Well, never mind, I'm go­ing into the house in a m inute.” T hat very p rocrastination and neglect has shortened m any a life.D on’t “ Feed a Cold an d S ta rv e a F ev e r”

The so-called cold is an Incipient fever.

The o th e r day on the tra in I over­heard the following conversation;

"M r. C. has a touch of la grippe. I fear It will go hard w ith him , as he is p re tty old.”

“ Yes. and he is so obstinate. W hen any th ing is the m atte r w ith him , ho will not ea t any th ing un til he is w ell."

“T h a t Is all nonsense, I th ink ."“ Yes, so do I. I told him he should

feed a cold, and sta rve a fever. I’ve always heard th a t was the way. Bui he's obstinate ."

Thus you see th a t the old e rro r dies hard. Supposing your furnace did nol work well, and you sent the servant to ascerta in th e cause. W hen he te- tu rn s he te lls you th a t it was all choked up with too much fuel. W hat would you th ink of his Judgm ent if insteed of his cleaning it out and giv­ing it vent, he inform s you th a t h<. shoveled in more fuel? You may drav your own inference.

la my next artic le I will tell yothow to cure a “cold.”

Uncle Sam has Just Imported C8 Hal tese goats and expects th a t w irhin a few years the increase from th is Uerti will be d istribu ted over the United Slates. Owing to the stringent q u aran ­tine regulations, the goats are to be Bent to the experim ent sta tion a t the Con­necticut S tate A gricultural college, S torrs. Conn. Investigations of the m anufacture of some of the fotelgn cheeses are being made at the ccllege and the milk from these goats wMl be used.

it is intended also to breed the foata and to send the young anim als to s ta ­tions in o ther parts of the country. The purpose of the governm ent is to estab­lish the fact tha t goats may be success­fully raised in th is country for the pur­pose of supplying milk. Milch goats are common in European countries, where they are driven from door to door and milked upon dem and. Goats' milk is particu larly popular in Switzerland and on the Island of Malta very few cows are kept.

It has been found tha t the milk of goats is unusually well adapted to the use of in fan ts of all kinds. The great anim al tra in e r Hagenbeck m ain ta ins u herd of goats especially to provide milk for the young an im als in his menagerie.

T here are several private im porters of goata in th is country. One of them, Robert N. Riddle, of C arteret, N. J.. brought over a considerable num ber of Toggenburg goats la s t sum m er. This breed comes from the Toggenburg val­ley in Switzerland and Includes m ilkers which yield som etim es seven quarts a day. Mr. K iddle and the m em bers of his fam ily use no o ther milk than th a t ob­tained from th e ir Toggenburgers.

The common American goat la not of much value, as a rule, for m ilking pur­poses, because It has not been bred with th a t purpose In view. Across (he w ater, scientific goat breeders have been en ­deavoring for years to fix th is tra it. Just as In th is country dairym en are try ing to secure s tra in s of heavy m ilkers am ong cattle. I t Is believed th a t by crossing the native goats and Imported anim als a breed of good m ilkers will be produced in a few years.

“ Why, hello, Tom, old man! Glad you looked me up— bored to death, you know, and all that. No. you didn 't in­te rru p t me a t all. I was ju st glancing over the evening paper. Say. th is is a treat. Nobody sees anyth ing of you since you went and got engaged. Don’t you ever take an evening off? Lucky she w ent away for the holidays or 1 shouldn’t see you now, I suppose. No,I don’t blame you. oelia is a lovely g irl—a regular prize—but we fellows feel you've ju s t about dropped us, and old friends, you know.

"Oh, come off! I don 't e ither know how it Is! Ju s t because you're in love Is no reason for your fool insinuations th a t every one else is, too! No. sir!A bachelor’s life for me!

“ W ell, I ca n 't help it if people do gossip. A man ca n 't look a t a g irl w ithout every one's se tting the wed­ding day. I’m sure I 've paid no more a tten tion to Caroline than to •» lot of o thers Well, howl if you enjoy it; still, I don’t see any th ing to laugh about myself. She's a m ighty fine girl, though, don 't you th in k ? So different from m ost of the o th e rs—seems to un­derstand a letiow and all tlial and lo have a little sense. W hy, that g irl— |

“Now, see here, Tom. Can t a man speak adm iringly of a girl without your g rinn ing that way? There 's nothing in it, I tell you. I've thought the m at­te r over long ago and you don't ea ch me runn ing my neck into any m atri­m onial noose. Why, I ’ve been a ttract- | ed by lots of g irls and I always o u t­grew it. W hat if I'd m arried one of ’em before I came out of my trance? W hat's th a t? D ifferent from the pres­en t serious a ttack? I am not suffering from any attack . I tell you.

“ Yes, I had C hristm as d inner a t C aroline's. She knew my folks were all away and I though t it m ighty nice of them to ask me. It was her mo; ti­e r 's Invitation , of course. I knew you'd say th a t—it's nothing of the sort. Her m other is a lovely woman and hasn 't an idea of angling for anyone, espe­cially fo r me. I th ink it 's a pretty s ta te of affairs when people can t ask a fellow to d inner out of sim ple kind­ness of heart w ithou t being suspected of deep-laid plans. And what do you th ink? Caroline had made the mince pies and the salad herself I never tasted anyth ing like lh« m. 1 tell you I like to see a g irl take an in terest in th ings about the house and it is all the more creditable wheu she doesn 't have to. Most g irls w ith three serv­an ts a t home w ouldn't be caught dead In the kitchen. Caroline says she ’.ikes to cook and fuss around. She gets so pink ai d her h a ir always roughs up- and curls around her ears when she gets In teres t'd and excited, so I’ll bet she looks great In the kitchen. She—

“Oh. cu t it out. Tom. I'm simply telling you about my C hristm as dinner.I am not raving over Caroline. Not th a t a fellow would And it hard to rave about her if he w an'ed to. only I don 't go It for th a t so rt of foolishness. Been to any shows lately? I haven t. I m outgrow ing those musical-comedy things. They are so tiresom e. A per­son gets no rooa ou t of them, Caroline says. She likes a play tha t gives you •om etlilng to th ink about—problem plays, ehe calls them.

“Say. bv.t site nas brains! You ought to have heard the lin t of ta lk she put out about the last one we saw. She t-ok a d iffeient view of it from the one I took. I like to get her arguing, tci she grows 30 excited! She always

-has symethi.'ig inw resting to say.“W h a t's tha t? See here. Tom, how

many tim es m ust t te l' you that you are on the wrong tiack ? I don't sea how anybody could say I was in love. I'm far too com fortably situated in these bachelor q u arte rs to th ink of getting m arried. I'll l°ave th a t to you and other foolish young men. It would take an ex trao rd inary girl to make me change my mind.

"Oh, so Celia has a new photograph of Caroline, has she? I m ust ask her to pass them around. No-o-o, I haven 't any picture of Caroline—she's not the so rt of girl to band out her photo­graphs lo all the men she knows. I don 't ea ie much abou t collecting g irl's pictures, anyhow—th a t belongs to col­l e g e days. W ouldn 't know w hat to do w ith a photograph if I had it—Just c lu tte rs up the place.

Can you with com plaisance look fo r­ward to being faded, haggard o r peev­ish and ailing a t JO or 35?

W ill you not be frbnk with yourself —now before it is loo late—and so plan your life th a t a rest period may be yours each day? Take a tim e to call your own, when, closeted in your own pretty boudoir a rd clad in a loose, warm dressing gown, you may fling up your windows, indulge in a dozen deep restfu l breaths, lifting Ihe chest and head high, and then after tak ing a few gentle trunk tu rn ings to r ig h t and le ft—bending and tw isting in all direc­tions to keep the waist line supple and the figure youthful—fling the a rm s up over the head and make g rea t sweep­ing circles w ith them to help the cir- c u la io n a t im portan t nerve centers.

A fter indulging in a few deep knee bendings and half a dozen m ore deep breaths as a finish, tLrow yourself on your couch—relaxing every muscle and driving ail thoughts and w orries from your b rain—sim ply rest m ind and body. You may evt u sleep, if you will, for from 20 m inutes to an hour.

This relaxed rest will do you more good than two hours ' sleep taken un ­der different circum stances, declares Mme Hebe, in the Chicago Inter Ocean.

B ut see to it ttiat your window Is open a little both top and bottom d u r­ing your rest ami Ilia: you have a light w arm covering throw n over you. as you must avoid chill afte r exercise ami during the rest periou.

Again, you who are sick, do not al­ways o rder your carriage when you have but six or seven blocks to go. for a brisk walk in the open a ir will help keep you young and is often actually necessary to your health.

I believe it to be a fact th a t the so- called rich often fall into dangerously lazy habits through the conveniences and luxuries that their w ealth su r­rounds them with.

And so to the girl who is forced to walk from six to ten blocks dally. 1 say, be thankful, and do not waste your time in envying your wealthy neighbor. Fate decrees that you m ust take th is life-giving, health -reta in ing exercise each day.

When fatigued afte r a “ try ing '' day or tired out from sot ial duties, throw yourself upon a bed or couch and re­main in the first position for five full m inutes w ithout removing hand or foot. The ixidy is suddenly relaxed ami a sense of complete rest takes the place of tlie stra in tha t resu lts from being too long upon the feet.

Perfect repose may tie gained by ly­ing on the flat of the bark for half an hour at a time, with hands ou t­stretched. I-et the bead rest upon a pillow that is not too high If you cannot sleep, close your eyes and put body and mind In a quiescent state. For an afternoon siesta treatm ent of th is sort Is a good lesto rer of over- worKeti nerves

The iron entered into our souls and we watched him narrowly. Hour by hour and day by day our suspi< ions w»re fed by small events, to which our a tten tion was called by Miss Pym. un­til, at the end of a week, our views had become quite definite and decided

During the whole of this time Mr. Compton paid her very close atten tion . In fact, she could scarcely move but he was behind her. This, as she po in t­ed out. was owing to ihe fact that she open—and it was practically empty, wore ra th e r more jewels than the oth- I am I regret to say. quite con- «r ladies, and he was only waiting the j vinced of the cleverness of Miss Norah opportunity she never gave him in o r ­der to appropriate them.

One afternoon Miss Pym came into the drawing-room quietly but hastily, w ith a look of trium ph in her eyes.

"M ajor Belshun," she said, excited­ly, “Mr. Compton has broken open the w ardrobe In my room and is now rifling its contents. Come and see!”

The ladles gave a little scream and huddled together a t th is sta rtling sta tem ent.

much sim pler than now. we, lu th is republic, made much of our w inter evening lecture courses and our win­te r evening concerts.

As ou r g reat cities have grown cos­m opolitan, the num ber of evening en ­te rta inm ents, of every so rt and va­

riety , has been m ultiplied, and people m ay freely choose w hat they will in th ea trica l represen tation , operatic singing, o r scientific instruction Irom th e lecture platform . In the sm aller tow ns and villages and in suburbs lim ­ited by hourly trains, there is less lib­erty of selection, and judicious prep­a ra tion beforehand is essential If the w inter is not to he barren oi profit

in ihe old days._we had philosopners like Ralph W aldo Em erson, staies- men like Horace Greeley, men ot le t­ters! like Oliver W endell Holmes, or George \\ illiam C urtis, aud fiery o ra ­to rs like W endell Philips aud Edward j E verett to fill the places in ou r lecture courses, and season afte r season they appeared and lifted the public taste and enlarged popular ideas. From across the w ater came Charles Dickens, W. M. Thackeray and Mat­thew Arnold, giving the ir hearers full tithes of sa tisfaction and ca r­rying bae^ w'ith them a lavish h a r­vest of A m erican gold. The great singers came, both men and wom­en, and while the cities heard them first in opera, m ost of them la te r con­descended to the p la iner concert stage in places where operas could no t be tendered.

Still the g rea t singers come to us, and still we have lectures from the o ther side. Only a few m onths ago, from the w hite house down, people were interested in listening to the broken English of the au thor of "The Simple Life.” Let a man write a jxjpuiar book, and those who read it wish to look in his face, hear his voice, and judge if they may what m anner of sp irit he is of. It won id to invidious to d iscrim inate and give ihe nam es of the popular lecturers of the hour, but we know who they are and let the night be ever so cold, the snow ever so deep, the roads ever so icy, we shall go and hear them when they come to our town.

* * tt « *

In planning a lecture course, a good com m ittee is the first requisite. Mo­notony is to he avoided. Novelty Is to be sought. There is wonderful charm in a new face, a new voice, and a new subject, bu t there is also an Irresistib le fascination in a fam .llar presence and in m eeting again with an old friend. T his is why ceita in nam es among us belong to the lec­tu re platform , and why certain men are able to command alm ost any price they choose to ask in re tu rn for the lecture they give.

In the program m e for the w inter there ought to he, for example, a lec­tu re on some astronom ical o r olher scientific theme, which shall be given by an expert, or a scholar whose knowledge can lie trusted, and whose nam e is a guaran tee for accuracy Such a lecture should be illustrated by stereoptlcon views. A nother should take up a country, island or continent, on which public atten tion has been fastened. Lectures on the far east will lie tim ely, and ought to be pop­u lar in the coming season. We h tve to reconstruct a great many of our nottous: we are m ost of us ra the r ignoran t about the underlying con­ditions which have brought Russia to its present crisis, and pushed Japan to the front, as the champion of the east, and, as we have not tim e to rrad exhaustively for ourselves, we need the lecturer who can supply us with facts carefully collated, and with in ­form ation in a concrete form. A h!a- torlcal subject, o r one purely literary , one th a t takes up the social life of ancien t Rome, o r of mediaeval Ger­many, or of England under Qneen Anne, will find a host of captivated listeners. A lecture is supposed lo embody and epitom ize the substance of many books. If It Is worth hear­ing at all, it m ust tie In the nature of a picture, and If not eloquent, must a t least lie agreeable and have no dull passages.

A lecturer who reads his m anu­sc rip t closely, o r who has a squeaky, ineffective voice, need never hope to en th ra ll his audience. The audience so to speak, at a lecture, have seats in the parlor car, and they are not ex­pected to undergo any discom fort tha t can he saved them. The lecturer who cannot lie heard w ith ease, in ev«ry corner of the room, need not expect a second engagem ent.

It Is incumbent, however, on the com mittee, to provide a hall for lec- | tu res in which the accoustic proper- i ties are good. I shall not soon for- j get an experience 1 had. one evening, in Canada, where for an hour I lis­tened t a b rillian t and distinguished lecturer, and heard a mocking ec!u re ­peat word by word, cadence by ca­dence, the whole effort, until I <vas alm ost distracted. I learned later th a t there was always th is mocking echo In th a t building, hut th a t the lecturer him self and the people who

sa t a little fu rthe r back than I had.were not disturbed by It.

We know so much more about music than we once did, we are so much more critical and our facilities for hearing good music have so In­creased, th a t only the beet perform er* can hope to please ue now. Ask your grandfather if he rem em bers the m erry tim es he had in those gallant days when he tucked your pretty young grandm other under his arm and carried her fo rth to hear the Peak Sisters, o r the H utchinson Family, o r the Swiss Bell Ringers, give one of the ir perform ances. We are by way of being m ore exacting and more fastidious in these times, and we de­mand the best th a t modern culture in music can afford for our pleasure.

The fault of ou r program s is tha t they are alm ost invariably much too long, so th a t to the a rtis ts it m ust ap­pear th a t we are determ ined to get more than th e 'w o rth of our money, while, not contented w ith this, the average audience proceeds to encore every number from s ta r t to finish.

I have an affection for concert s.ng- ers. who have never aspired to grand opera, but who w arble for us in pure, sweet, simple stra in s, songs th a t sim ­ple folk can understand. No concert for me, and for m any Just like me. ia so satisfying as one where the reper­toire includes old ballads, Scot ish songs th a t bewitch the heart, and pos­sibly some of the patrio tic tunes tha t s tir the blood un til it th rills w ith a r­dor in the veins. F or a w in ter eve­ning once in a way, try the pleasure you can get from simple, old-lash- loned music, th a t has iu it the power to touch the heart.

The real tim e to devote to lectures and sim ilar en terta inm ents is when the days are sho rt and the evenings long, and few outside inv itations beck­on fam ilies apart. In those m ouths paren ts and children, neighbors and friends, may together make use of op­portun ities which will yield a long enrichm ent.

NORTHW EST PASSAGE DISCOV­ERED BY CAPT. AMUNDSEN.

W hich Colum bus Searched W hen He Reached America.

New York.—Capt. Amundsen is ex- j ceedlngly modest about his trip through the northw est passage.

An observation stulion was estab­lished by Capt. Amundsen at King W illiam 's land, latitude 09 degrees and 30 minutes north ami 90 degrees west, j Capt. Amuudsen declares his belief. | based on the two years' of observation by him, that the north magnetic pole 1b w ithin 90 m inutes 5f tha t point. The J observations nave been taken day and night for a period of three years, and in the opinion of the explorer the ac­tual (Kisition of the magnetic pole w ill j be determined as soon as his observa- j tions can be figured out. Evidently the change from the position marked by Ross has been very slight.

Capt. Amundsen, w ith his crew of j seven men, sailed from C hristiania June 15, 1903. The route sailed was from C hristiania to Baffin bay and then through Lancaster sound, Barrow stra it, Peel sound, Jam es Ross strait, ! Rae strait, Simpson s strait, D ease ' s tra it. Coronation gulf and Doljihin and Union s tra its to King point, where the explorers obtained communication w ith tue winter-bound fleet of whalers from San Francisco.

The passage from King W illiam 's land and Victoria land, says Capt. Amundsen, is very shallow and very narrow. There are more than 1001 islands there and a t times Hie sound­ing was as shallow as three fathoms. | These Islands were seen and mentioned | by Rea and Capt. Amuudsen says it is now definitely proved tha t they are land.

"N ever had such luck in my life. Got all the deer the law allows '.he first day. Shot a big moose th a t n igh t by the ligh t of the campfire w ithin 25 yards of the hut. Had all the hares and partridges we wanted to eat. brought home a wolf sk in and three minks, and gathered three hags of the nicest cranl erries you ever saw.”

This was theeheerful statem ent made by a I usiness man who always takes his holidays in the shooting season, and th is year spent his fortnight on the Desert river, above Mont Cerf, says the New York Sun.

From all accounts th is has been a record season for deer everywhere. In many cases parties have relum ed from the woods much earlier than they had intended, because they had made their bags of game.

There were not many, though, who had the foresight to pick and take home the berries for sauce. The In­dians believe th a t there was a kind of Providence in the connection ex- dlans believed th a t there was a kind nuts, wild geese and wild celery, black bear and ri|>e fru it, and saw th a t there was a reuniting of these th ings at meal times.

The modern hunter is not superior to sauces and dressings, but he is gen­erally in t(hi much oi a hurry to look after them. Still, there are those who realize that there is much more to lie go' out of the fall tr ip to the woods than slain deer and hardened muscles.

To such observant hunters the fact th a t in the moose country there are thousands of acres of choicest cran ­berries going to waste every year af­fords food for thought. C ranberries are to he pirked up literally in hand­fuls in these m arshes, and ttie indi­vidual berries are usually larger and better than those grown further soil til.

Some fortunate men have iiad the good luck to eat a pot roast of veni­son prepared by thoroughly cooking it in a tightly-covered Iron pot and served with a plentiful supply of cran­berry paure boiled with sugar. Those who have go prepared to make free use of the berry on the ir hunting expedi­tions, and, occasionally bring home a bagful o r two.

But, with railw ays projected to run far >o the n o r th .i t Is not unlikely (h a t | these wide etanberry swam ps will lie found to have a real commercial value. A couple of en terprising New Eng­landers went s tra ig h t from the ir shoot­ing to a local governm ent office and secured an option upon 400 acres of m arshland a few days ago. T his may be the beginning of the development of a new industry in the north woods.

The existence of a northw est passage was discovered long ago. E arlier ex­plorers succeeded in traversing it. But to do this they had to leave behind the vessels on which they had entered the Arctic ocean, walk some distance over the ice and get aboard vessels which had come from the oppos..e di­rection. Capt. Amundsen won the dis­tinction of being the first man in the history of the world to navigate the A rctic region from Davis s tra it to Beh­ring s tra it in one and the same ves­sel. He has realized the dream of ages.

W hen Columbus sailed from Spain in 1492 it was w ith the aim of finding tow ard the west a shorter and safer route to India than the one around the Cape of Good Hope. He thought when he reached A m erica th a t he had ac­complished his o b jec t Years passed before it became known th a t w hat he had found was not a new route to the M at, but a new world. Efforta then began to find northeast and northw est passages from Europe to Asia. Adolf E rik Nordenakjold, a Russian, com­pleted the northw est passage In 1879. The first g reat advance »n the explorer tlon of the northw est passage wa* made by John Davis, who discovered the s tra it named for him In 1585. Hen­rik Hudson followed him in 1607, and In 1616 Baffin reached latitude 77 de­grees 45 m inutes, a record th a t stood unequaled for 236 years.

There was a g rea t revival of Arctic exploration In the early part of the n ineteen th century. Sir John F ranklin was sent by the B ritish governm ent w ith two ships and 129 men expressly to make the northw est passage. Noth­ing was heard of the party from 1846 to 1854, when it was learned th a t It had perished. Numerous expeditions were sent out fo r- i ts relief, among them th a t of Robert McClure, who passed through Behring s tra it In 1850 and went eastw ard as far as Melville Island. Here It was necessary to aban­don the ship. In the spring of 1854 McClure and h is crew were m et and rescued by McClintock’s party , which had come up from the east, and taken back to England. McClure was thus the first to make the northw est pass­age. F or h is achievem ent he was knighted by the B ritish government, promoted to a captaincy In the navy, and highly honored by scientific socie­ties

W hiling, Ind.—Ju st west of here, where the surf of Lake Michigan beats against ike lutliuuu Illinois s ta te line, la the moat ex traordinary cem etery in In­diana and one of the moat rem arkable onea In the country. There la not a grave in it, and every burial In it hua m arked a tragedy In which a life waa lost. I t ia the old cemetery of the Illi­nois Steel company, in which, until re- ten tly. It " sa t to real" those who lost the ir lives in me molten m etal in the g rea t steel works th a t Hue the -ake a little fa rther to the northw est— across the sta le line. Those buried in th is cem­etery did, In fact, pass through dissolu­tion. Their bodies were completely lost -—dissolved in the molten m etal and practically no trace waa left of them. The funerals th a t have taken place in th is cemetery have not been marked by any processions behind hearses—In fact, there has been no need of hearses.

The m etal in which the workers have lost the ir lives has been run off Into great Ingots, which have been hauled out and set up facing the white breakers of the lake. In some Instances the m etal th a t has been run off has been cast w ith Blag which m akes a more Imposing and better w eathering m onum ent, the m etal being given to discoloration while the stone-like slag, for a num ber of years a t least, looks like cast stone.

There is probably no cem etery in the s ta te of which so little Is known, unless i t be the peculiar Rappite burial lncloa- nre a t New H arm ony.

The cem etery began about three or four years ago, when a man named Reynolds reii into one of the open- hearth pots. It Is said th a t his fellow w orkers insisted th a t some of the m etal be run off and set up somewhere In his memory. The com pany a t th a t tim e was filling In p art of the lake fron t. Just over the Ind iana line, and It waa decided to set up the ingot there—It would help to m ake the fill anyway. This was done and the new cem etery was begun.

Several o thers who have met the ir fate In a sim ilar m anner, It Is gold, were thus remembered. F rom the first there has never been a grave dug tn the cemetery. Ju s t how many are thus "burled” no one seems to know, but there are probably e igh t or ten. No m arkers have ever been put up.

Though the ingots are on top o f a g rea t fill, made with cast slag from the furnaces, the location of the un­usual cem etery is strik ing . Situated near the Indlana-IUlnois s ta te line, it la crowded In between the tracks of the m any trunk lines to the east th a t hug the lake a t th is point and by the su rf rolling In over the slag beach. The waves h it the southernm ost point o f the lake w ith considerable force and dash over breakw aters th a t have been extended out Into the lake by the steel company. There Is always the m ur­m ur of the lapping waves, o r the ro ar of the lashing whitecaps In rough w eather.

Recently the atten tion of the coun­try was a ttrac ted to one of these pe­cu liar ''b u ria ls .” A t one of the Penn­sylvania steel m ills two men lost the ir lives In m olten metal, being completely lost. The m etal was run off Into a g rea t ingot and elaborate funeral serv­ices were held over it, a Catholic priest presiding.

At one end of the fill Is an Interest­ing ram bling structure—the home of John Cunea, a fisherman. Cunea for­m erly was a p rin te r In Indianapolis.

"I don 't know which of those Ingots o r dum pings out there contain all th a t rem ains of w orkers,” he said, "bu t I understand th a t one”—poin ting to one between his house and the lake fron t— "Is the one th a t has the m an Reynolds dissolved in It. As I recall It, they were able to save p art of one leg, but the reBt of him was melted. I don’t know how m an r of those Ingots o r casts of slag have men In them. The Steel com pany has stopped bringing them here. They are placed nearer the m ills now.”

It was rumored a year ago th a t prom otion was aw aiting the Chicago ihan, but the fact th a t the senate held up for so long a tim e the nom inations of Wood and Mills caused the president to hesitate to send In the nam e of a cavalry captain whose ad­vancem ent would mean the Ignoring of all the veterans and hard fighters of the three ranks Intervening between the grade of captain and th a t of brigadier general.

There Isn’t an arm y officer in the service who has any criticism to pass on Capt. P ersh ing personally. His rec­ord speaks fo r Itself. B ut the officers are criticising sharply the known In­tention of P residen t Roosevelt to con­tinue the practice of m aking promo­tions by selection. They are not slow to declare th a t favoritism m ust enter into the m atter, and th a t favoritism cannot fall to work Injustice to the veterans.

The first vacancy In the rank of brigadier general of the arm y will oc­cur February C, when Maj. Gen.

High Class DruggistsAND — OTHERS.

The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devoto their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies a n d purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians’ prescriptions a n d scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest a n d best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup ol Fig3 is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation a n d of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects a s Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction.

Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and th e immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but th e re a re individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and priucipi b of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not besitale to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—“ Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full Mme of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Svrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been b o unfortunate as to erter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the fil ing of physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every­where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, hut as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return tbe article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices.
