PUT A STOP TO IT < ouiit Von Walderaee Steps Between Russia ami Enaland in China London, .March lil.-The’ Times this morning makes the following announcement: -We learn that Count Von Waldersee hits interfered ns com-mander-in -chief of flic allied forces in China tc put an end to the mutually hostile attitude of the British and RUssiau troops at Tien Tolu.” There is no confirmation of tliis statement in other quarters, lint It has an air of extreme probability, and will be received by England with feelings of considerable relief. The Daily Mail in an editorial which frankly faces a disagreeable situation says: "We must admit that it Is no juncture to risk fresh quarrels. Our armaments are inefficient and our fleet in the far East is so weak that its position would be perilous. It is a painful process for the nation to have Its face slapped, but until the country compels the government to put our house in order It is a humiliation to which we must accustom ourselves.” THE HOPEFUL ROBERTS Peace Predicted Though Signs Are Not Apparent. London, March 114.—Lord Roberts in a letter to a i-oiTesponilent expresses a confident hope that Lord Kitchener will soon lx* abie to secure peace in South Africa: but thus far there is no sign from Pretoria or Cape Town that peace Is near. The latest news is that General Eourie with SDO men escaped Sunday from the British columns that were endeavoring to corner the com mando east of Bloemfontein. Further big operations will be started 111 Orange River colony within a few Jays. General lan Hamilton, addressing the Authors’ Club in Loudon last evening, made the curious suggestion that tlie Boer prisoners should be sent to Camilla to work the railways, where they would learn the English language and become imbued with English sentiiuvuts. DESPERATE ROBBERS A Pennsylvania Bank Cashier Loses His Life to Save Cash. Harrisburg. Pa„ March. 15.-Charles W. Ryan, cashier of the Halifax National bank, was shot to death yesterday by Henry Rowe and Weston Keiper of Lykens, who made an attempt to rob the l«ink. The robbers ■were captured soon afterward and were brought to the Harrisburg jail, together with F. B. Straley of Lykens, who is suspected of being an accom plice. Rowe and Keiper. with revolvers drawn, entered the bank and one of them lield in check Abraham Fanstenbaugh. the president: Isaac Lyter, the teller, and ex-Representative Swartz of Duncannon, who was in the bank on private business. The other covered Cashier Ryan, who was made to collect the cash In the drawers, $2,(8H1. and plnce it in a satchel the roblH’rsThad brought with them. Just when it seemed that the robbers would succeed in getting away. Cashier Ryan leaped forward in an attempt to knock up the revolver of the man with the money. In the senltle several shots were fired and Ryun fell to the floor, shot through the groin by Rowe. Mr. Fausteubaugli grablied Rowe and after a short scuffle threw him to the floor. Keiper ran out of the door. The noise or the shots attracted J. F. Lyter, who has a store near the bank building. He ran out with his shotgun and pursued Keiper for one block and shot him back of the head, when the robber surrendered. The wounded cashier was taken to his home after the capture of the desperadoes, where he died last evening. A Whole Family Burned. Wellston, <)., March 19.—The charred bodies of Jeff Hill, his wife and five children were found last night In the smoldering embers of a burning house. Hili and his family lived in a log ciibJu Their nearest neighbor discovered tne house wrai>ped in flames at a late hour last night. It seems that only one door opened out of the room in which the seven menibers of the family were sleeping. The tire caught in front of that door, blocking the single way of escape. The whole family perished. Glad of His Arrest. Columbus, <>.. March 19. Charles A. | Johnson, the Niles (Mich.) defaulting bank cashier who was arrested here on Bunday, was bound over to the United States grand Jury in the sum of s|u.inh). hi default of which be was taken to Jail to await an order of >enioval to Niles. He does not deny his guilt, but refuses to discuss the crime. He says, however, that since he has been arrested he 1s glad of it amt will go back and stand the i-onsequences. An Ohio Tragedy. Nelsonville. 0., March 19. Albert James, 11 shoemaker, and Samuel Hun ter. a miner, quarreled last uigiii. The latter shot at James five times, two bullets taking effect it the lungs. While 111 the throes of death James threw himself upon his assailant and with a shoe knife cut a terrible gash around llunter'H neck. James expired Immediately. No arteries were severed in Hunter's neck, but the wound is dangerous and his recovery is uncertain. A Mirage In Ohio. Moatjs’lier, ().. March 10.— Residents ■»>f tilts city yesterday, saw a ailrago which was easily recognised ns the village of Edon, eight miles distant. Such 11 sight bad never Wore been beheld In Sils vicinity.

simple Country Living. A man may enjoy bounding health and know very little about the cause of his happiness, and, alas, a man may suffer all the woes of dyspepsia and have 110 certain knowledge as to the cause of his misery. “I’m a confirmed dyspeptic. That's the reason I look so old,” said Mr. Collander, gazing almost enviously at the red bronze face of bis former chum at college, who had dropped down from the country into Mr. Collander’s city effice. “M hat. you need is simple country food, man,” said Ids old friend, clapping him heartily on the shoulder. “Come and visit my wife and me on the farm for awhile, and we’ll set you up. It's rich city living that’s too much for you. Now, take breakfast, for instance. All I have is two good cups of coffee, a couple of fresh doughnuts, a bit of steak with a baked potato, some fresh biscuit or muffins and either griddle cakes or a piece of pie to top off with. Whai do you have?” The -ity man looked at Ills red cheeked friend, who stood waiting for the lonflrmation of his idea. “A cup of hot water and two slices of dry toast,” he responded soberly. “But if you think a simple diet like yours would help me I will make one more attempt to be a healthy man.”— Youth’s Companion. Joe Mnnton’n Pistols. Joe Manton. the famous gunmaker, was crossing Hounslow heath when he was stopped by a highwayman. On hearing the summons to “stand and deliver” Manton recognized a pistol of his own make leveled at his head. “Why, confound it. you rascal,” cried the indignant gunmaker. -s<m J»e Manton, and that’s one of my pistols you’ve got. How dare you try to rob me!” "Oh, you're Joe Manton, are you?” said the highwayman coolly. “Well, you charged me 10 guineas for this brace of pistols, which I calf a confounded swindle. though I admit they’re a good pair of barkers. Now I mean to be quits with you. Hand me over 10 guineas, and I’ll let you go because you're Joe Manton. though I know you have got £SO at least about you.” Joseph swallowed his wrath and promptly paid the 10 guineas. But lie never forgave the highwayman for getting a brace of ills best pistols for nix, and lie made himself a special double gun with barrels barely two feet long, which he always carried about with him afterward when traveling ajid christened "The Highwayman's Master.” With this weapon I have heard that he subsequently shot a highwayman who stopped his chaise and mortally wounded him.—“ Kings of the Rod, Rifle and Guns.” Then He Hurried Up. He was too modest to be a successful lover, and he had let 40 years of his life go by without ever coming to an emotional point. He was in love with a fair being of suitable ag6. but he would nut tell her so. and though she knew ft she could not very well give him a hint about the situation. She was willing because she bad arrived at that time of life when a woman is not nearly so bard to please as she might have been at some other time, but he was stupid and went away without a word. He was gone a long, long time, and when be came back he found her still ready. “I have come back after many years." he said to her as he took her hand in greeting. She had learned something in the years since she had seen him last. “Well, for goodness' sake, Henry,” she exclaimed fervidly, “why don’t you take them? I'm 35 now. How many more years do you want?” Then a great light shone upon him, and he did not wait for any more.— London Answers. The linnnfaclnre of Plate Glaaa. The casting table of a plate glass factory is aliout 20 feet long, 15 feet wide and G inches thick. Strips of iron on each side afford a bearing for the rollers and determine the thickness of the plate to be cast. The molten glass is poured on the table, and the roller passing from end to emi spreads the glass to a uniform thickness. The glass, after cooling rapidly. Is transferred to the annealing oven, where It remains several days. When taken out, ft Is very rough and uneven and In that state is used for skylights and other purposes where strength is desired rather than transparency. The greater part of the glass, however, is ground, smoothed and polished. Doesn't Count For Mnch. "Lovely wedding, wasn’t II?” asked the maid of honor. "Quite so.” admitted the bride’s dearest enemy. “Every detail perfect,” suggested the maid of honor. “Ob. 1 don't know. We might make an exception of the groom, don’t you think?” “Oh. possibly, possibly,” admitted the maid of honor, “but that's a minor detail, anywuy.”--Chlcago Post, Hunt of tbu Stars. Experiments at the Yerkes observatory have led to certain results on the heat of the stars that may be summarized as follows: The apparatus employed was sensitive enough to register the heat received from a candle 15 miles distant. The beat received from Arcturus was equivalent to the beat received from a candle at a distance of about six miles* TLu Difference. Lady—l see you advertise homemade bread? Raker—Yes. ma'am.

Why We Eat Oysters Raw. Dr. William Roberts in bis interesting lectures on the 'digestive ferments writes; “Our practice in regard to the oyster is quite exceptional and furnishes a striking example of the general correctness of the popular judgment on dietetic questions. The oyster is almost the only animal substance which we eat habitually and by preference in the raw or uncooked state, and it is Interesting to know that there is a sound physiological reason at the bottom of this preference. “The fawn colored mass which constitutes the dainty of the oyster is its liver, and tills is little less than a heap of glycogen. Associated with the glycogen, but withheld from actual contact with it during life, is its appropriate digestive ferment, the hepatic diastase. The mere crushing of the dainty between the teeth brings these two bodies together, and the glycogen is at once digested without other help by its own diastase. “The oyster in the uncooked state or merely warmed is, in fact, self digestive. But tlie advantage of this provision is wholly lost by cooking, for the heat immediately destroys the associated ferment, and a cooked oyster has to be digested, like any other food, by the eater’s own digestive powers.” Lincoln na a Life Saver. William A. Newell, who had the rare distinction of being governor of two states—New Jersey and Washington—told in Success of his romantic experiences as a congressman in 1849, when he originated (lie life saving service by offering a resolution in the house of representatives to appropriate money to save lives imperiled by the sea. Fellow members of congress at that session were John Quincy Adams and Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Newell said: "Various objections were made to ny motion, the strongest of which was that the scheme was impracticable. I laid the matter before a great many senators and menibers. speaking to them in person. i\ President John Quincy Adams occupied a seat just behind mine and after the reading of the resolution clerk leaned forward and said to me, ‘I would like to see that resolution.’ I sent for it and handed it to him. He read It over carefully and, handing it to me, said, with a smile: ’lt Is good. I hope it will prevail.’ Abraham Lincoln also read It and said: ‘Newell, that is a good measure. I will help you. I am something of a life saver myself, for I invented a scow that righted itself on the Mississippi sand bars.’ ” Collins the Doctor. A good story is told of Dr. X.. who is the physician in charge of tlie female wards of one of our best known charitable institutions. One evening about 9 o’clock Mary, a new Irish servant girl, knocked at the door, saying: “Doctor, the head nurse wants you to come down to supper.” The doctor, swelling in his pride of superiority above the nurses, sent the Irish girl away with a curt message. Half an hour later the head nurse came to his room looking very serious. “Doctor,” she said. <O. Bis very bad indeed. I think you ought to see her at once.” “Why did you not let me know before?” was the reply. “Why. doctor,” said the nurse, “I sent you word by Mary half an hour ago.” “The fool!” said the doctor. “She told me to come down to supper!” “Why,” said the nurse, "I sent you word to come down to eight!” An inquiry made the whole thing clear. Mary thought it more polite to say “Come down to supper” than to say “Come down to ate.”—Pearson's Weekly. A Sensitive Scot. A sensitive Scot rebukes the London Daily Chronicle for saying that bis countrymen pronounce man "mon.” “The absurd form ‘mon,’ he writes, "is the hall mark of Scots' vernacular as written by a southern pen, and its intrusion has often lent additional sadness to comic journalism, even, alas, to the pages of our chief humorous periodical. In the north of England ‘mon’ certainly occurs; in Scottish speech never. In Scott and Stevenson one may look for it In vain. The broad, soft vocalization of tlie word in Lothian dialect lies somewhere between ‘maun’ and ’maan,’ but as it cannot be literally symbolized the word should be spelt in dialect passages simply as in English.” Accord! ng !>'• “She's well educated. Isn’t she?” “Well, site's one of those women who can pass as being that way.
