CHICAGO, Feb. 0. Carl Dahlke and Herman Dahlke. brothers, fought a duel to the death with knives to-night in the rear of 3'S Blackhawk street, the home of their sister, Mrs. William Stuy. There had been a family gathering for the christening of a babe, when the brothers quarreled. They adjourned to the back yard to fight. After it was over Herman was picked up, head and faco cut Into ribbons. He was conveyed to the Aelxian Urothcrs Hospital In a dying condition. Carl made his escape. Before going into the yard they had been drinking and quarreling, but had been separated by their wives, who clung frightened to their husbands. Carl and Herman Dahlke arc middle-axed, each having a large family. Carl is a laborer. Herman is a night watchman. Get out your knife, cried Herman, "and come Into the yard Pushing the women away, the two'men sprang down the steps to the yard In. the rear of the house. Kach had a keen-blaUed pocket-knife In his hand, and began slashing. Suddenly Herman gave a scream of agony. Carl's knife had shown under the window light for an instant and then was buried almost to the hilt In Herman's head, entering at the left eye. The unfortunate man fell to the ground, writhing In axony. Jn the meantime, the whole neighborhood had been aroused by the screaming women and children. Men and women were ranged about the fence, watching the deadly duel between the brothers, but no one had the courage to interfere. Policeman Mcdonough arrived Just too late to catch Carl. A child had run to the corner and Informed him but after Herman had fallen Carl Jumped over the fence and made his escape. When Herman was brought to the hospital his face and head were slashed In a dozen different places ami the left eye hung from Its socket. One cut extended from the crowo of the head to a point below the left eye, and another cut had torn off almost half, the scalp. Up to a late hour the fugitive brother had not been captured. Both families are prominent people, and this is the result of a deadly feud that has been raging for many months between them. AMUSEMENTS. Seabrooke iu "The Speculator." When Thomas Q. Seabrooke announced his intention of. forsaking comic opera for the more congenial field of comedy, the almost unanimous verdict was that he was making a mistake. Even those who believed in his ability remembering his creation of Deacon Tldd in "A Midnight Bell." of the Cadi in Bill Nye's play of that name, and of A. B. C. Johnson, in "The Stepping fcJtone. by Sydney Rosen f eld advised him first to try musical farce and work gradually from that into comedy. Seabrooke, however determined to make the transition without Intermediate stages, and at the beginning of the present season he produced "A Woria of Trouble." by Harry and Edward Paulton. the author of r'Erminie." The name was very apt, so far as Seabrooke was concerned, for the play proved a disastrous failure. His next attempt was "Baby IMine," by Leander Richardson. The baby died at the request of its author before it was six weeks old. Then "I told you so" was borne to the ears of the actor in a loud and prolonged chorus. At this time one of the prominent managers in the country offered him the leading part in a new farce which he intended producing in New York, and which Is now publicly announced for presentation in that city. Seabrooke declined the projHJSitlon. saying he had another play. "The Speculator.' by a young man named Ilroadhurst. and that he intended to try again. -What has he ever written?" asked the manager. "Well." answered the comedian, "he has written this play, and that's enough for me." "My boy," the manager said, "if authors such as you have tried failed, what chance has he got? I'll keep the part open for you." The Speculator" was put In rehearsal in New iork, and its production in Albany on Christmas day was announced. After the performance a telegram came from the manager, savin his proposition was still open. -Seabrooke's answer was: "Thanks for fvt c.ant accept. This time I have the real thing." uHf ?.as contInued presenting the play from tnat time on. und It has demonstrated that his confidence was not misplaced, for It has proven one of the few genuine pecuniary successes of the season. Seabrooke, with his new play, will be produced in this city at Lngliah a to-nlrht and continue three days. Mme. 3IodJekn. Recovered. CINCINNATI. O..

RAID BY INSURGENTS

i:Mi;m:i) cahvalio and cahhicd OFF TWO I'OLICKUCX. Cuban Amazon In the Field Mnklnfr f Trouble for pnnlsh Troops Depredation at lilo Seeo. HAVANA, Feb. D.-Last night the insurgents entered the village of Carvallo, fifteen miles from Havana, and burned the records there and captured two policemen. This morning they went in the direction of Otoro. When General Marin arrived at Candelarla after the attack of Maceo on that town bad been repulsed, he offered his congratulations to the garrison and to the people on their heroic defense. He offered a title to the town and decorated all its defenders with the red cross of military merit, and those amongst the garrison who had most distinguished themselves he decorated with the cross of San Ferdinano. It is now reported that members of the garrison, which consisted of seven hundred volunteer!?, saw ten thousand cavalry passing Candelarla from a church tower in the village. A letter signed by Maceo and Mlro was then written to the colonel of the volunteers, Ahumara. and to the priest, demanding the surrender of the village. This was refused. It is admitted that notwithstanding the defense offered several of the insurgents succeeded in entering the town and burned six houses, before the column of Colonel Canella came to tho assistance of the hardpressed garrison. Several of the insurgent dead were found in the town churchyard. The Insurgents have arrested a prominent family on the plantation of Santa Greila. Colonel Canilla has been the recipient of some not very gentle attentions from the so-called Amazons, who are in the field with the insurgents. Recently he saw one of these woman warriors, riding on horseback with ber loosened hair streaming behind her, and she called on the men who were following her to fire on the troops. At 6 o'clock this morning a train running toward Havana was derailed at the station of Govea. Several cars were destroyed. The accident was believed to be dud to the bad condition of thu temporary tracks. Another train arrived at Havana, having on board a colonel, a chief of staff and MaJ. Surez Inclan. At Rio Seco the insurgents have hanged two defenseless men. They have burned the Central plantation at Esperanza Cardenas, with a loss of $100,000. At San Juan Martinez they have hanged five farm laborers, and have killed with a machete a boy fourteen years old. At Eas Cruces they banged Sebastian Torres, who left nine children orphans. Tito Cuban Stovrnvrnys. KEY WErfT. Fla., Feb. 9. A threemasted schooner which passed here to-day signaled the pilot boat Nonpareil and informed the captain that he was from Cuba and that he had on board two stowaways. They announced themselves as Dr. Castillo and servant. Dr. Castillo stated that he was surgeon-general of the Cuban army and that he left the camp of General Gomez about ten days ago for the United States on a secret mission of Importance. He said that Gomez was encamped in the southern part of Cuba with a large army and plenty of provisions and ammunition. He also fald that the ultimate success of the Cubans was assured in a short time. DEALING IN "STIFFS" GHASTLY . DISCOVEKY I1V AX EXPRESS AGEVT AT WASHINGTON. Box Containing the Bodies of a Col. ored and a White Woman Opened nt the 11. & O. Depot. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. Owing to a misUnderstanding of addresses on a large box left at the Baltimore & Ohio depot in this city, lo bo forwarded by express, the existence of a trade In corpses for dissecting purposes has been unearthed. The box bore two addresses, and the employes df th United States Express Company were undecided, as to which address it should be sent. After the box had been at the station all day, the employes forced Its cover, and one of them thrust In his hand, hoping that the contents would indicate whether the box should go to Baltimore or Detroit, which were the two addresses. The employe caught hold of a human foot. The box was then opened and was found to contain the bodies of two women. A first it appeared that murder had been xnnmitted and that the bodies of Jhe victims were being shipped out of town. The bodies were entirely nude, and one was that of an old colored woman. The other seemed. to be the corpse of a white woman twenty-flve years of age. After working all day the detectives came to the conclusion that the bodies had been shipped by grave robbers. It has been learned that a regular system for the shipping of bodies stolen from the cemeteries about Washington exists. The work has been carried on with astonishing boldness, and dozens of bodies have been sent out of town recently. This box was addressed to Angus ilcLane, No. 23 Pelham street, Detroit, Mich. Earge boxes sent by the same set of men have been forwarded to New Haven and Hartford. Conn., Baltimore and other cities. Some were so heavy as to leave the belief they contained three bodies. FIVE WOMEN POISONED. The Water They Drank Probably Contaminated. Dr. Booz. of the City Dispensary, found five women residing at 174 East Georgia .street, suffering with all symptoms of poisoning last night. He thinks the drinking water became contaminated, as there were no indications of poison having been administrated in any way. The women will recover. . IX BRITISH (JHAXA. Lit lie IiuinIg,rntlon nnd Few English Colonists There. Review of Reviews. The plain, hard fact in that these forty thousand Bristlsh colonists In the disputed territory are forty thousand myths. There is practically no British immigration into British Guiana, nor has there been for many decades. The total population of British Guiana is approximately 200.0)0. Considerably more than 1(XU) of these people are negroes, while a much greater number, constituting almost the entire effective labor population, is made up of East Indtan and Chinese coolies. The number of these coolies now approaches 150.o). The total number of people of European birth in the whole of British Guiana at the last census was 2.5t. We might guess that the are in British Guiana proper, and the thirty-three (instead of the forty thousand) are in the disputed area. The importation of coolie laborers has been an oillcial policy, and It has been managed at much expense through governmental agents sent to Calcutta, Canton and elsewhere in Ir.d!iu ami Cltina. These laborers are brought out under contract, and arn held practically as slaves under live-year indenture terms. As for the "forty thousand British voters in tin.- disputed district alone." until a comparatively recent date the- entire number of voters in the whole of British Gu!ana was less than tight hundred. Owing to a considerable recent extension of the franchise, there were, according to last year's returns, 2,?y voters in the whole country. It mut riot be supposed that these are all people of British descent; for in British Guiana, asMn the ltritlsh West Indies, the negroes and halfbreeds are becoming voters and property holders; and. moreover, there are numerous Dutch descendants of the original colonists. lMrtUkfiies immigrants.

C 4t) 36 ART OF PLAVIXG WHIST. Many Women Esrel In It Ilecnuse the Game Suits Theiu. Philadelphia Record. All the social world to-day Is agog over "cards," and the woman who does not play whist is rapidly finding out that she lacks one of the necessary elements of success In the art of amusing her fellow-creatures. In the smaller towns the wave of popularity carries six-hand euchre on Its crest, and afternoon parties have suddenly monopolized all the available card players at hand, to tho entire exclusion of everything else. The whist furore has not yet toucned them, except here and there, and the Intricacies of the game are apt to frighten the ease-loving maids and matrons, who ar. constitutionally opposed to sustained mental effort. Bat any student of the average feminine mind must see, without doubt, that women are natural whist players. From time immemorial they have been credited with remarkable Intuition, and it is Intuition that wins the day at whist sooner than anv other quality. Mr. Work, in his little book, says: "Remember, the ability to draw correct inferences Is the greatest accomplishment in modern whist, and it Is the most Important element in the making of a llrstclass player." Now, If there is one thing that women can do successfully It is "draw correct Inferences." As a matter of course, then, th?y will net take long to catch their masculine rivals in the friendly struggle for telling scores. Already the whist congresses and whi?t tournaments include tne names of quite a good many women, and here and there it is recorded that the women won the day. Perhaps U Is still true of a large class of players tan they do not play scientific whist, but whist teachers are beginning to be in such demand that a reliable instructor does net Itave an hour to spare during the whole season. This is significant in itself, and as time and patience are needed for a mastery of the game. It is almost too early to estimate how much influence the interest will have. If it is simply a fad, a season or two will .eal its fate; but whist lovers, both masculine and feminine, scout the idea of such a flippant calculation. Anj thing that requires earnest preparation should, on general principles, endure tjr awhile; but prophecies concerning pastimes are very apt to so astray when you least exiect It. Orly three years ago a hi?;a authority on whist wrote: ' The hlg.n-eard game is the favorite with ladies, who usually play out all their aces and kings at once, and tnen abandon the same to their jrartners. "They consider any card below a queen as of no value. This is much the easiest style of play, as it requires no attention, and success depends entirely on the accidental holding J of trick-taking cards." That such a statement should be greeted with good-natured scorn to-duy goes without saying. The new woman is as much in earnest over whist as she is in all the other things that are attracting her attention, and since nature has made her deft, oL.-ervant. ready-witted, keenly Intuitive, and, above all things, a strategist, she Is pre-emlner.tb" fitted to carry off the honors at cards. There is an intellectuality also about whist that saves it from the odium of a mere pastime. In the iight of its modern complications chess lt?tlf is relegated to second plac as a braln-stimu!at-lug e;:rae. and Indeed, If the ambitious feminine player of the hour will but read all the arguments of long-suit players, and then con the von !uions of the short-su.'t devotees, she will find herself faced with a puzzling problem that neither intuition nor dtftness wih solve. Dui as a rule she has the coura?t- of her convictions, and those who are following her in htr card career have Uie comfortable , confidence in her ultimate victory that comes with absolute trust in her methods.

THE ADYENTIST FAITH

TEXETS OF TUB SECT WHICH HAS ITS CHIEF CBMER IX MICHIGAN. Its Members Expect Christ Will Soon Appear This Generation Expected to See the World's End. Battle Creek Letter, in Chicago TimesHerald. "Within the life of the present generation Christ will appear a second time on earth, literally and personally, and accompanied by the angels from heaven, and bring, after scenes of carnage, war and bloodshed such as have never been heard of, the end of the world and all within it." Such is the most startling feature of the faith of the Seventh-day Advestist Church, of which Battle Creek is and has been for several years tho chief center. It does not startle tho Adventists themselves. For some time they have believed in that regard just as they do now, and are preparing or are prepared for the judgment day. But among people of other faiths the statement of the near approach of the end of all things earthly causes a shudder, even if they cannot bring themselves to believe In Its truth, as do the Adventists. As yet there is no one who claims to know the particular day and hour at which Christ will appear on earth, but that the time will be soon there is no one among the believers in Adventlsm who has the slightest doubt. In fact, It is said among some of the denomination that Mrs. Ellen White, the "mother of Adventlsm," was told while in a trance by the Lord himself that the end of the world was near. Just, whether that is so or not, no one here can tell. Mrs. White is in Australia, where she has been since five years ago, when she left Battle Creek. The leaders of the faith In this city, however, doubt that she has had any divine revelation on that point, and doubt also that she has made any such claim. A report was sent out recently from Baraboo, Wis., to the effect that Adventists In Battle Creek were selling their homes for what they could get and were rushing forth to preach their doctrines and prepare all who would listen for the end of the world. That is not true. Adventist missionaries go forth from Battle Creek to all parts of the, world, and the departures) are frequent. There Is no exodus, however, nothing more than there has been for the last ten years. The Adventists have always been an aggrecslve denomination. They have more trained medical missionaries In the Held to-day than all the other denominations together, but they are not rushing out of their homes' here to redeem 7the world with the expectation that the end Is to come to-morrow. They are much more comfortable in mind than that, and have no desire to frighten people of other faith to any such extent. They believe that Christ and the end will soon come, and they are g-ettlng ready for the coming In the hope that there will be time to prepare for the fate that Is In store.' Perhaps no one can tell better than does Elder A. O. Talt, of this city, just what the Adventists expect and believe and what they think of the propnecy which Mrs. White is said to have made. Elder Talt is at the head of the International Religious Liberty Association, which has had a great deal to do of late in defending people of tho Seventh-dav Adventist faith from the prosecutions of civil authorities in this country and abroad for the violation of Sunday laws. The Seventh-day Adventists, following the instructions given in the fourth commandment, work tlx days and rest on tho seventh! Saturday, therefore, is their Sabbath, and Sunday their wash-day, just as Monday is among the followers of other denominations. For Sunday work they are prosecuted, and it Is a part of tho business of the Religious Liberty Association to put an end to that prosecution. "This prosecution Is one df the things that will lead to the second coming of Christ and tht; end ;bf,tb world," declared E!der'Talt: "'It Is wrong, we feel. 'Six days ghalt thou labor and do all thy work,' saM the fourth commandment, and then it declares that the seventh day (.Saturday) shall be a day of rest and worship. God gave us the Sabbath as a memorial of the creation. As the creation Is an established fact, so should the . Sabbath be kept and guarded as an established memorial. Christ has changed . the Sabbath. Those who oppose us and .persecute us for our worship on Saturday do not deny that. The seventh day, is the. Sabbath day, to be holy and observed as a day of rest. . . , "However, Adventists hav believed irid have taught during the last fifty years that the observance of Sunday as the Sabbath would be a great subject of popular discussion, and that an attempt would be made to compel all to observe Sunday regulations even on the pains and penalties of civil law. Tho proof of our teaching' is. found In the stringent Sunday laws that have been passed and are now. being enforced all over the country. Adventists believe the time will soon come when, the attempt to enforce the observance of Sunday laws will bo universal, and that the history of the old religious persecution will repeat itself up 'to the time when Christ comes on earth again and puts an end to it. The persecution would go as far as it did in the dark ages were it not that the advent of Christ will stop it. "The pcint of cbjervance of the Sabbath is not the only one that Indicates the coming of Christ' continued Elder Talt. "The labor troubles of the present day and of the recent past, the aggregation of so much wealth In the hands cf the few and the Increasing poverty of the many and-the increase of storms, such as earthquakes and cyclones, are all Indications of the second coming. The spirit of war which has been rife so long in the old world and has extended of late to the new is another. And there will be war. It will not come till right at the end of time, but then all the deadly guns and other machinery of slaughter will be put at work and will bring such sxrenes of carnage and Dldddffhed as were never heard of before. Then will come the Christ, literally and personally, and attended by ar.gels cut of heaven, and the end of all things will be then. All that are not then prepared will be destroyed. They will die, die by the brightness of His coming, as is plainly and clearly stated in Paul's letter to the Thessalonians." "Out what after that?" Elder Talt was asked. " "After that." was the reply, "there will be a period of one thousand years during which there will be no man on this earth but the devil and his angels. That will te called the binding of Satan. During that 'one thousand years God and His redeemed will be Judging the sins or tne wicKed. uo vou not remember where Paul says. 'Know ye not that tho saints shall Judge the wicked?' "At the end of that one thousand years, that bondage of Satan, the wicked will be called to life again to learn their doom. This will be done so thfat every Individual that is saved shall be perfectly satisfied with the punishment meted out to those who have not deserved God's grace, and shall know the reason why the wicked are condemned. Otherwise they might not know that God had not acted arbitrarily, which certainly He never does. This a?e of sin 13 the result of God's giving free moral agency to man. He could have destroyed sin when It was first committed, and perhaps Justice demanded that it should be done. But God could not then have crushed out sin without seeming arb'trary to those who had not sinned nnd were not capable of Judging. Instead, He gave the sinners a chance to regain what they bad lost; He made His plan of salvation for all." WICKED TO REMAIN DEAD. "That Is why the wicked will be called to life again at the end of the 1,0(K year?, that the saved and redeemed and the wicked as well may see the Justice of the doom of the one and the salvation of the other. And when they have been called up. and it has been shown that they have merited their punishment they will die again and for ever, die as if they had never been." "But what Is the real need of the resur rection and the second ueatn? "From the beginning cf our denomination al existence." Elder Talt replied, "Seventh dav Adventis:s have held that man Is pure ly a mortal bolng and nothing more, and that he possesses immortality only when he receives it through Christ at the resurrec tion. When a man d!es he dies and remains dead till he is resurrected. Adventists do not believe In the spirit that goes roaming off Into space with iower, even as some creeds hold, to return to earth and visit u occasionally. Mn has the spirit of Immortality only as he gets it through Christ, and then it does not come until the second coming of Chri.-ft himself. Then. those that are worthy and have die J before.- ar. J those that are alive and are properly prepared are made immortal. "The dead will simply remain as dead after their second death. There will be no

punishment for them. They will simply

cease to be. There isn't much belief now in the lake of fire and brimstone kind of hell. That was only a fictlcn got up In the dark age3 to frightm people Into doing rlsnt. The Bible doesn't teach it. and it Isn't at all consistent or In harmony with the attributes of a pood God, and yet when we first began to preach It forty years ago It was said by some other ministers that there would be no place in hell too hot Tor those who argued against its existence. But they don't tackle us on that any more. We had our own way and the others have had to agree with us." "Where will be the heaven, according to the belief of the Adventist faith?" "We believe that this earth will be the final home of the redeemed." was Elder Taifs answer. "We believe that this planet was created to be the home of happy, sinless beings. The entire earth will be made over again until It is again one great Garden of Elen. and here the righteous will dwell. There will be no wandering1 In space, according to our belief. We will remain here on earth as actual beings, whether of flesh and blood or not, I do not know, but we will be such beings as Adam anu Eve were when God created them on earth. We will have bodies that are tangible and as real as are our bodies now. In that state we will go on through eternKy, acquiring education ana knowledze. and oroarressing in grace. That is why we, as Adventists, believe in educa tion. Peop-Ie chide us for building colleges wnen we predict that the wona is so soon to come to an end. but let them chlJe. We believe that we will have use for our brains in heaven and that it will not please Christ to have us, knowing that He is soon to come, sit on the fence and wait for Him. e will carry to heaven with us the knowledge we nave here, and we wm begin there just ex actly where we leave eff here. "In all of this, our belief and our raith, we depend solely and entirely on the Bible. That is our creed. We know there are signs that the second coming is near at hand. The fulfillment of certain prophecies in the Bible proves it to us." "But what of Mrs. White and the prophecy she Is said to have made?" "1 do not think she ever made such a prophecy. Seventh-day Adventists have never set an exact time for the millennium. We know that Christ will come soon again, but we do not say exactly when. The prophecy we depend uoon is the twentyfourth chapter of Matthew, which speaks of certain signs In the skies, and declares: 'Verily I say unto you that this generation shall not pas3 till all these things be fulfilled "Mrs. White may have had a revelation from God," concluded Elder Talt. "She has said things before that have been verified by events, and we believe, too, that God has manifested himself all through the Christian dispensation, as He did to the prophets of old. But we know from the prophecies of the Bible itself that the second coming of Christ will be within the life of this generation, though man knoweth not the day nor the hour." PROPHECIES FULFILLED. The fulfillment of two of the prophecies upon which Adventists base their faith In the near advent of Christ came as long ago as 1780, when there was a darkening of tho sun, and in 1833, when there was a rain of stars from the sky. These events are supposed to have been in answer to the prophecy to be found In the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew "And the sun shall be darkened and the stars fall from the heavens." The first of these was, as it should have been to suit the Adventist belief, toward the end of a period of tribulation, the period of Protestant persecution by the papacy. What the adventists call the union of the church and state, or at least the tendency in that direction, is another indication In their minds of the nearness of the end of all things. It is prophesied that the end shall come when an image is made to the "paral beast," the papal beast being the union of church and ftate. Therefore, it is the claim that in this, the new country, that Image is being formed in the union that Is being made between the church and the state. The denomination of the Seventh-day Adventists numbers about 40,000 throughout the world, the greater part of them being in the United States. They bavei missionaries in thirty-one foreign countries, print their tracts and gospel books In twenty-five different languages, and circulate them by the million. In pioporlion to the numerical extent of the denomination it Is far more aggressive than any other of the Christian faiths. In a way they are. out of joint with the rest of the world. Their reservation of Saturday instead of Sunday as a day of worship makes it hard for the young men at least to find employment In the ordinary business walks, and for that same reason It is extremely, hard to get converts to the faith. It may be taken as a fact, therefore, that when a young man gives up another faith for tho Adventist and sulTers the Inconveniences and drawbacks which the change brings In a business -way, at least, he Is pretty well convinced that the newfaith Is the correct one. Because of the disadvantages which the young people, and the old as well, suffer in business employments, a great many of. them find work in the institutions organized for the propagation of the faith. Manv of them are in the medical profession where there isn't much difference, and a great many are farmers, where all the objection that can be raised is that they break somebody else's Sabbath, even though they observe their own. The young women find employment as nurses and in other branches of medicine and many of them go as missionaries to foreign lands. The origin of the Seventh-day Adventists creed dates back to 1&15, when a party of believers In New Hampshire announced that they had adopted the faith, as it Is founded principally on proDhecies to be found in Daniel and Revelation. In 1846 Elder James White and his wife, the Mrs. Ellen G. White who is said to have made the latest prophecy, embraced the views and started out to propagate them In the community In which they lived. Mrs. White has been connected with the denomination almost since its foundation, has been active in its work, and for that reason is called the "mother of Adventlsm." Little was done toward church organization until 18C2, when the first conference was organized. There are now thirty-six conferences. The government of the church is much the same as the government of the Methodist Church, and the 'services are the same, too, in nearly all respects. No church selects Its own pastor, that being done by the general conference, which meets once In two years. The State conferences meet yearly. The Adventists have many sanitariums, the one here being unsurpassed In Its way In the world. There is no better equipped hospital and sanitarium anywhere than the one here, and the Work It accomplishes Is astounding. It maintains a charity bospltw.1 In Chicago the Chicago Medical Mission, at 40 Custom House place maintains an orphan asylum here, and does a great deal of other philanthropic work. It is under the direction of Dr. Kellogg, who has become famous through his work in bullJIng up the institution. There are hundred of p.itlents always in the sanitarium, and hundreds of more nurses, doctors and employes. It should be stated, however, that though the sanitarium is under the management of an Adventist board, it Is not sectarian in the slightest degree. There is no attempt to force Adventist Ideas on any one. The object of the institution Is to heal and make well the patients thUt come to It, and to that' business it closely attends. A MOMvEV OV A BICYCLE. Dr. David Starr Jordan's Pet Which Had mi Exciting; Afternoon. San Francisco Call. Dr. David Starr Jordan, of Stanford University, has been varying his scientific studies of the origin of species lately by experiments with monkeys with a view to shedding light upon the problem of the missing link. He has several pets of the monkey tribe, and among them is one which, by reason of its display of intelligence, has become his especial favorite. The Doctor has also a large St. Bernard dog, which he ke-pes about his home. The monkey and the dog get on well together, and hence Dr. Jordan often ties his pots together In order that the former may Le protected and not get lost. The St. Bernard has one pleasure which he greatly enjoys, and that Is to follow the family carriage to the railway station. Well, last Sunday afternoon the coachrmin started off with the carriage to the station. The two pets were tied together as usual, but the dog, In his eagerness to follow, forgot the fact and bounded after the carriage, dragging the poor monk-y after him down tlw dusty road at a rate of speed which. threw him cfT his feet and rolled him over and over in the dust In the most ridiculous w'uy. At last one of the students saw the monkey's plight, and. stopping the dog, ran oif for Dr. Jord-tn and brought Mm to the scene. Up to this time the genial Doctor and the monkey had been on the best of terms, but now the bedraggled ape regarded Mm as the author of his misfortunes, and would not look at h'.m or follow hhn or allow himself to be taken home. Dr. Jordan was nonplussed to know what to do with his monkey, until one of the college boys happened along on his bicycle, and, seHng the Doctor's dilemma, offered to let tffe monkey tide home on his wheel. As soon as the monkey was made to comprehend the Idea of the bicycle ride he became mollified at ouve and perched uiou the seat, wh?re he 81 in great state and high glee while the Doctor and the student wheeled him iciiel Dr. Jcrdan is said to be of the opinion frcm the accident that a valuable contribution has been added to the cause of science, and that the problem of the missing link has been advanced several stages toward solution.

GOOD INDIANA ItOADS

IMPKOVEMBXT MADE IX TIIEIll COX1HTIOX IX TWENTY YEARS. Argument iu Favor of Brond, Smooth ' lliffhwaya as Sloral Foreen-Itnral Districts Aided by Bicycles. Maurice Thompson. In the Independent. When I came into the West out of the South, my first and chief objection to Indiana was on account of bad roads. My home had been In Georgia, where the sand and slate of the soil prevented the formation of deep mud even in the rainiest season. Highways were little cared for there, simply because they did not need care; but in Indiana, where the black soil often enough is found to be practically bottomless, and where a three-foot winter freeze, followed by a sudden thaw, makes mortar of the earth's crust, and the tpring rains soak nature for a fortnight without ceasing, the roads insist upon consideration. When I first knew them, however, they insisted in vain, and were practically impassable from March to the middle of May. Twenty years have changed all this in many places. For example, the little city In which I live has not a single dirt road leading to It; every highway cutting Its limits is a turnpike free to the public, and reaching far into the rich farming country round about. The roads are made of gravel taken from stream beds or out of the glacial drift deposits. The roadbed is first formed of clay well drained, both laterally and longitudinally, and upon this the gravel is used as metal to make a dry, hard track from twelve to eighteen Inches thick. The gravel is a mixture of granite pebbles, sllicious sand and smooth fragments of limestone, the latter rrore or less ferruginous. Under the action of rain, heat and the grinding of wheeled vehicles, this mass soon f-rms a dense cement impervious to ordinary forces. And so. for miles In every direction, we have Incomparable driveways and Tideways. Facts are the best of arguments, and he Is best authority who speaks of what he knows. Apace with the perfecting of rur roads has our little city grown in wealth, population. Intelligence and happiness; and at the same time the surrounding country has shown a corresponding prosperity. Crawfordsvllle may be, probably Is, abov the average of Indiana towns having from eight thousand to fifteen thousand population; but what is true of her Is true in large measure of nearly every town In the State. Good roads, not good enough, but good, have been the keys with which the coffers of abundance have been unlocked. WELL SUPPLIED. Dr. Edward Egglestoh said truly that "Indiana has given more HteTary men to the Nation than any other State of like extent In the United States." The statement can be supported by Indisputable statistics. I will venture to add that Indiana to-day has more miles of good highway than any other State of her size in the Union. And I do not know that this is saying a great deal, for we are a nation givrn over to bad roads; but it is worth .saying for what goes with R. When good roads came In malaria went out; for good roads demanded gtjod drainage. Kducatfcon, by some law, enlarged Its standard wherever smooth, hard highways ran past the schoolhouses; all the handsome country' seats an 1 pretentious farmhouses were built beside the turnpikes; the price of land increased in proportion to the condition of the road, connecting it with a market for its products. Churches nourished on the same principle. Another fact, agriculture conforms to the nature off the roadways. Along the macadamized roads the farmer keeps his buildings painted, plants In straight furrows, keeps his fence rows clean, cultivates hks crops with care, and harvests close and with neatness; while on the bad clay road nearly all the farms look slovenly and ill worked. A successful business man said to me: ' "All good roads .run down hill," by which he meant that traffic flowed like water along a pleasant highway. -"Show me a flourishing town,"' he added, '"and I will prove to you that It is a basin Into which good highways pour their streams." I know that this Is true In Indiana. There Is not a genuinely flourishing town within our State which is fed by ill-kept roads. Mud colors whatever It comes in touch with, even the temper and aspirations of men and women. Who can keep in a good humor with clay on his feet? It is no fanciful statement, but rather a colJ. hard truth, to say that broad, clean. smooth highways are the strongest and most persistent of moral lorces. Locomotion is freedom, and good roads make free dom easy. In Crawfordsvllle we are all op timists; it Is so easy for us to walk, drive or ride out of the way of all trouble. In fourteen different directions the splendid roads extend to indefinite distances between rich farms, where plenty and prosperity are absolute. When I want to go a-flshing in summer I drive north, south, east or west until I come to a stream, and every foot of the wav Is a graveled floor. I meet wheel men and wheelwomen, or they whisk past me like birds at every furlong's end. They all look happy, and belike I have the same cast of countenance, for a good road makes a light heart. Not so many years ago all of our gravel reads were the private property of corpor ations, and we had to pay toll for using them; but one day our county commissioners bought them and made them fre?. built others, and have since maintained them bv taxation. ithout any manufac turing interests of great Influence, anj quite free of anything in the nature of a "boom." our town has doubled its population since good roads came. It has quadrupled Us actual wealth. Moreover, tne Improvement In the architecture and capacity of homes and business buildings ha3 been remarkable. Of course, this is not all due to good roads, anu yet without good roads it could never have come to us. BICYCLE INFLUENCE. Speaking of bicycles, they are the Indices of fine highways. Wherever wheelmen and wheelwomen most congregate, there will you find the choicest roads; and it follows that the new- methods of locomotion with which inventors are now busy must increase public interest in the improvement of highways. Horseless carriages are In sight, and when they arrive they must have their thoroughfares. We can scarcely comprehend the revolution In ttavel which will follow a general adoption of the new vehicle. But such a revolution woui'd change the wnole public-road system, and give us even letter highways than tne best in Europe. If the two difficulties of mechanical' appliance and cost of operation can be adequately controlled, as now appears probable, the time is short until the world will cut its road gradients to suit this new demand. To one living in the middle of what Is doubtless the richest agricultural district in the world, the Imoresslon comes sooner or later that nearly tha whole evil of country life should be eliminated were locomotion made cheap, handy, easy, safe and rapid. What country' people most long for and need is a part of the refining and liberating resources of the towns. Distance and the expense of travel at present form an almost in.urmountable barrier, though the distance be but a few miles. The perfecting of a new and cheap system of locomotion will change all this, and to a certain extent make the whole country a town. It will double and treble the number of good schools, goo I churches, good places of amusement and gooi centers uf social attraction. When we remember that winter anl spring are the seasons of bad outdoor conditions, and are at the same time the seasons cf nearly all the social. Intellectual, religious an I recreitive functions, it Is easy to comprehend what good roads and cheap, raplJ anl comfortable vehicles would mean to t?ie well-to-do farming neople of all the middle west. Alrealy their children are being well elucated, and the great problem is what to do with them after they are educated, especially how to make them satisfiei with rural life. With enlightenment of mind haj come to them a thirst for urban sources of culture, entertainment and social enjoyments. Good roads may not destroy distance, but they can in a large degree rob distance of its power to make country life lonely an 1 uninteresting; they can turn a large part of the country Into suburbs, as systems of trolley car lines have already done In many places. Indeed, In most of the Middle and Western States farmers are beginning to f stabllh their homes in the nearest town, where theln families can have better educational and social advantages. Good rcaJs have made it practicable to drive bark and forth between the urban home and the country es-tate, and thu the farmer living in ton. yet operating his farm, is . overcoming the most serious olstarle In the way of his domestic happiness and physical comfort. Referring again to Crawfordsvllle as an example, there ar many families living here in charming homes and whose revenues come from well-managed country estate

Farmers Cannot Afford to Pay 3IorJ for Bond. George G. French, in the Independent. Though I am not a "crossroad farmer," yet for more than fifty years It has been my fortune to travel more or less of he crossroads and ;valnroads within the county of Oswego. State of New York; and during that perioi have nad many business relations and large acquaintance with the farmers of this locality. While the highways in the country are In the season of freezing and thawinK neither frozen nor dry say for a period of on month in the fall and one and one-half months In the spring, they are very poor, sometimes almost impassable. Between these periods, in the winter season, th roads are usually frozen and are very jrooi, whether covered with snow or not: and in the summer months, all our roads. tom and main, are smooth, dry, well graded, usually free from loose stones; and are delightfully pleasant, whether for pleasure driving or for the transportation of heavy loads. It would require a larjre expenditure t make them decidedly better. IJnder. th present system for Improvement of the highway?, as now conducted, our farmers In working out "the road tax." improve th roads by using a ."road scraper" (a good but exp ensive tort made for that purpose), paid for by the "crcssroads farmer," whereby the traveled part of the highways Is tur.T;keii or rounded up. so as to shed water into the adjacent dittfiei; afterward the removal of loe etone. the prajinc of the hills, etc.. make i the main and crossroads in. the country as attractive and pleasaat as . though larue sums of money were expended upon them. The farnwrs; who thus kept the country roads In repair are the men who mostly use and travel upon the same, and also who are most Interested in making their farms mor pleasant, more attractive and more salable by being located upon a pleasant highway. There Is no demand In the country for better roads or greater expenditure of money upon them; per contra, a heavy burden oppresses farmers, many of whom are passing through a life and death strupRle to meet their necessary ..nd unavoidable expense?, after excluding all Items of luxury from their limited incomes. A large majority of farmers are required to apply onehalf of their gross income either to the payment -of interest upon mortgages or to tho payment of rent to their landlords. Within three years their Incomes from agricultural products have been reduced nearly one-half, whether from political enactrcf?n or from other causes, the facta remain that they are the sufferers. They pay the largest proportion cf ?U taxes much larger in proportion to their income than that of any other Industry. Their taxes have recently been tpeciaBy Increased from causes not within tluJT control; they are greatly In need of relief, or they must yield to the tar collector and th sheriff their entire property. Nine-tenths of the farmers In this county have reached a point where they cannot isuataln any heavier burden of taxation. There can be no necessity that they should be ruined or their burdens increased on account of any supposed imirovement of the highways. To take from them the privilege of working their highway tax. uadcr v;e. present system, wculd be a erfX3 afcllttoa to their present burdens. If rctrjirM to pay the value thereof by a tax Ln money, a proposed by those who demand this change. The hlgnway tax can now be worked out by the farmers at a time ln the season when other farm work is not pressing, and to require the value of this work to be paid from money needed for the necessaries of life Is cruelly oppressive. Tho'e ln the cities clamoring for lavish expenditures upon highways to enable them to use their bicycles and carriages with more pleasure, cannot appreciate the burdens they seek to Impose upon the Impecunious farm er, who needs rather their sympathy and to be relieved from heavy taxation. The permanent Improvement of the highways In the country, not provided for by the present system, cannot be ecured without a large expenditure of money; and if this even were paid entire by the State, still the largest proportion of such a tax must be paid by the owners of land.
