WOMANS REALM

ERECT AND ALERT. THE minute a woman stands lightly on her feet, with knees straight, chest well out, stomach flat, shoulders back and the body from the waist up tilting ever so lightly forward, she has acquired at once a certain smartness of effect that no amount of beauty nor fine clothes could give. A woman simply can’t stand correctly and look slovenly, says the Brooklyn Eagle. The smart girl is never round-shoul-dered or hollow-chested, and by standing properly she breathes properly. Every full, deep breath she draws straightens the muscles of her sides and abdomen. She is bound not to grow Into a flat, ungainly woman, who can never catch her breath or a train, for a proper poise of the body means good digestion and good health. It is probably going too far \o say tha't a girl sets about her being “smart” in order to be healthy, but it Is absolutely true that she is quite likely to grow stronger because of her correct way of carrying her body. How many women sink into a little heap the minute they sit down—shoulders drooping, chest sunken, the whole weight of the body thrown on the end of the spine. The smart girl sits In the . same erect, alert way that she stands, and If she wishes to rest she leans back against her shoulders and not the middle of her back. In bending, whether at a desk or a dishpan or a dlnuer-table, she bends from her waist, not from her shoulders, and she not only looks well, but avoids fatigue and the actual inju- __ ties that come from any strain on misplaced muscles. A Writer of Hymm, Mrs. Jos. Fairchild Knapp, of New York, is said to have comi>osed 5,000 hymns, of which several, such as “Open

the Gates of the Temple” a nd "Blessed Assurance,” are sung in every land. She has written so many hymns that she has forgotten a large number of them. On one occasion, hearing some people singing, she listenedand remark-

ed: “That music sounds familiar. I rather like it, although I think it might be improved upon.” She was somewhat surprised when her companion said: “It ought to be familiar; you wrote it, ten years ago.” In her literary and musical work, she collaborates with Miss Fanny Crosby, the blind poet-musician. The International Sunshine Society, of which Mrs. Knapp is a local officer, lias for its object the bringing of sunshine into the Ilves of those who are poor, despondent or shut in by some incurable complaint It supplies music, flowers, pictures, companions, books and money.—Saturday Evening Post. Lady Hart. The wife of Sir Robert Hart, the inspector general of imperial maritime customs in Pekin. Sir Robert, like the

great wall, Is one of the famous institutions ofChina. He has been a lifelong friend of the country; for fortyeight years he lias dwelt and held office in the celestial < kingdom. The official residence of the in-

spector general In Pekin was built by him with a special view to making it a social center and place of entertainment. To the society of Pekin, which is almost entirely diplomatic in its composition, lie and Lady Hart extended a regular and splendid hospitality. Every weels during tbe winter months they gave a large dinner, followed by a small dance* to which the representatives of all nations were bidden in their turn. In fact, the gntherings were typical of the cosmopolitan service which they led.

When Yon Visit. If a pleasure ts proposed, accept It You are expected to be entertained. The host’s chair and the host’s desk are not to be invaded. Keep your own room neat. Disorder Is most trying to the maid, who will complain of It. And be agreeable to all guests, whether you like them or not. Always ask your hostess, what her plans are for the day, and abide by them. All visitors should recollect that their evenings belong to the host and hostess and they are expected to add to their enjoyment. The Nervous Woman. All the causes which tend to make women thin may be removed, but you may as well place quicksilver in the hands of a nervous woman and expect It to remain perfectly quiet by commanding her to be quiet, as to remove nervousness from the frail woman by acquainting her with the thousand and one things that cause it. She will say: I know that, but It Is my nature to £<>i B®. go, always with every nerve tense as If I had to accomplish everything In the next minute.” To all these nervous womeit if you will not let go, then give nature a chance to strengthen you while you sleep—ln other words, take some nourishing food just before you retire; not strong. Indigestible foods, but a slice or two of whole wheat breed nud butter,

or hot milk, or pared apples, or even some cereal. While you sleep dlgestiori? absorption and assimilation take place, and you will awaken with a refreshed feeling and some'reserve power, at least, the torn-down tissues of the day will have been repaired. How to Go Upstairs, If one would avoid fatigue in climbJng stairs, he must learn how to do it property. A physician of repute tells how this should be done. “Uusually,” he said, “a person will tread on the ball of the foot in taking each step. This is very tiresome and wearing on the muscles of-the legs and feat. You should, In walking or climbing stairs, seek for the most equal distribution of the body’s weight possible. In walking upstairs your feet should be placed squarely down on the step, heel and all, and then the work should be performed slowly and deliberately. In this way there is no strain on any particular muscle, but each one is doing Its duty in a natural manner. The woman who goes upstairs with a spring is no philosopher, or, at least, she is not making a proper use of reasoning faculties.” Dipped in Cologne. Cologne water is stimulating and exhilarating; It is Invaluable In sickness, and for reviving invalids there is nothing which excels it. In a sick room it will dhange a fetid atmosphere more quickly than anything else. After walking or cycling on a Vann day a few drops in the washing water will refresh one; a few drops dabbed on the face with a soft handkerchief will much improve the appearance of a shiny or greasy skin, and so used is a preventive of blackheads, says the American Queen. For sick headaches a handkerch'ef dipped in cologne water and placed at the back of the head and ears will give decided and instant relief, and for a toothache a few drops sprinkled on a bit of absorbent cloth and placed near the aching nerve will soothe the pain. . Art of Darnins'. “I love a beautifully worked darn!” said the good housekeeper. “It implies so much. If I see table linen that has been carefully mended, I say to myself,‘That woman is an excellent housemistress,’ and a girl whose stockings are neatly darned by herself is a girl after my own heart. I tell my sons to find out if a girl darns her stockings before asking her to marry. I know one young woman who sews up her stockings with black thread, and another who wears her stocking until It is useless and then gives it away. I hope neither of those girls will become my daughter-in-law. A neatly mended glove or carefully mended stocking, I say to my boys, is far more attractive than a perfectly new article, for it shows the character of Its owner.”

The White Glove. The {Missing of the white glove is not a source of unmixed lamentation to the woman who desires to follow the edict of fashion. According to the popular idea the boot and glove are the distinguishing characteristics by which a woman of refinement may be recognized among others, that the simultaneous reign of the white glove and the long skirt has been a source of anxiety as well as a shock tb the Innate sense of daintiness of this woman. Now that Paris has declared in favor of tans nnd grays, no doubt a widespread cdiicwrence of opinion as to the general fitness of the glove to the occasion upon which it is to be worn will prevail.— Harper's Bazar. A Fingte Rose. single rose has appeared as a fashionable trimming. Many are the hats of straw that are trimmed with tulle around tbe crown In tbe form of a big soft roll that completely hides it, with a big, nodding rose of pink or red or white at one side standing high upon its stalk, with a leaf or two. The rose is also seen at the back of the stock, at the belt, and on the parasolfour large, beautiful roses—and often they will be scented with powder concealed In their stalks.

ALLIES NOW IN PEKIN.

CONGER SAYS HELP ARRIVED JUST IN TIME. Americans uud British Wer* First to Enter the Chinese Capital—Tro able Spreading to Southern China—Americans at Swatow Ask for Warship. By cable via Shanghai a Pekin eorre■pondent tells of the entrance of the allies into the Chinese capital. Contrary to the agreement of the allied commanders, the Russians advanced and occupied the first door of the east gate early in the morning of the 14th, but failed to ’force the second .door. At 2 o’clock on the afternoon of the 14th the British and Americans entered the gate near the legations and met With only slight resistance. The Japanese met more serious opposition at tne upper east gate all day. At midnight on the 14th they blew up tne gate und entered the city. Many Chi-, nese were killed. . The people in the legation were well, but somewhat starved. Minister Cunger said: “They tried to annihilate us the day before you got Hi. Frince Ching, president of the Tsung-li-Yamen, sent word that his officers had received orders to cease tiring on us under pain of death. At 7 o’clock m the evening of the same day the Chinese opened tire, and this continued all day. If the relieving column hud not arrived when it did we should probably have succumbed. The Americans lost seven marines killed and fifteen wounded, and one child died. The whole movement is purely a governipental one. The Boxers are only a pretense, having no guns. The confidential adviser of the Empress was the leaner of the Imperial troops here. In eleven days over 200 Shells fell among us. The American marines, under Captain Meyers, held a position on the wall throughout the siege. Upon the allies passing- lire wall the _Chi: nese retreated. The imperial family left four days ago for Shan-si province. It is estimated that the strength of the Pekin garrison was 10,000 men. Ihe legation was urged to leave the city under an escort of Chinese troops, but refused, fearing treachery. The Chinese in the imperial city made a stout resistance. After shelling them the allies succeeded in forcing the gate and entering the city about noon on the 15th. Ihe American loss in this action was the greatest. Captain Reilly of the Fifth artillery was killed.” In an interview Sir Claude MacDonald, the British minister, states: "The Chinese broke every'engagement with the foreign ministers. There is no truth in the story that the imperial palace supplied the legations with food. They sent vegetables, which we re ref used. The total casualties during the siege of the legations were sixty-seven killed and 120 wounded.” Serious trouble is now threatened in the neighborhood of Canton. The Americans at Swatow. according to the London Chronicle's Shanghai correspondent, applied for a warship in consequence of serious rioting. It is believed that if the inner city is satisfactorily reduced it is probable that the powers will agree not to push military operations further than is necessary to effect the punishment of thbse directly responsible for the disorders, to secure indemnity for injury to the persons and property of their subjects. and to rb-establish a stable government. The Yokohama correspondent of the London Mail says there is elation there over the relief of the legations, which is ascribed chiefly to the Japanese conti,.gent, but there is also a keen anxietj' regarding the final settlement. The Japanese distrust Germany, and Russia is equally suspected of ulterior designs. The newspapers urge that Japan, having borne the chief burden in the operations, must see that the future of China is not determined merely by the pleasure of the western continental powers. A contemplated loan of $109,000,000 and Other facts show that the Government is preparing for emergencies. There is generally a pessimistic feeling, but it is the opinion of the Japanese generally that Great Britain, the United States and Japan will avert the danger arising from the ambition of continental Europe. Pekin comprises four cities in one. In an area the size of New York, four segments of it are the Chinese city, the Tartar city, the Imperial city and the Forbidden city. Tinx last “inner” city mentioned in Admiral Romey’s dispatch is the residence of the Emperor and the seat of the imperial court. Nobody is allowed within its massive walls except by special permission of the Emperor or Empress Dowager. Foreigners who have entered Ms gates are comparatively few. The cabinet on Tuesday decided to reject the appeal from Li-Hung-Chnng for n cessation of hostilities. The reply was communicated to the Chinese Government with a statement of the reasons for the action of this Government. The rejection is based on the non-cotnpliance of the Chinese Government with the specific provisions of the declaration of the United States under date of A ll S- 12. The following are the important features of the Chinese note: When the prevailing trouble began the several powers landed troops and officially declared that the purpose of such notion wna to accomplish the liberation of the ministers. The allied troops having entered Pekin and found the ministers safe, it is proper to request the powers to direct that hostilities cease and commence negotiations for the restoration of peace. So therefore Li-Hung-Chang requested the United States Government to appoint an envoy, with full powers, or to designate the minister now iia Pekin, who Is well acquainted with the question at issue between China and the powers, to conduct the negotiations. Li-Hnng-Chnng’s note did not nsk for the intervention of the United States, but merely that it appoint a representative to confer with him. Before going to Kansas City to begin the practice of law in 1887, Webster Davis was a shoemaker in Gallatin. Mo., his boyhood home, mid later an office boy In a local law firm, in which position he studied for his chosen profession. He did not stay in Kansas City long, but went to Colorado, only to return to the Missouri city in 1880.

Eighteen postoffices in Washington Oounty, Pa., have been abolished by reason of the introduction of'free rural mail delivery, in which service an automobile will Im employed.

CHINA SUES FOR PEACE.

Li-Hung-Cbang Aska America to Name a Commissioner. The Chinese Government, through TA Hung Chang, has made application to the United States for the appointment of Minister Conger or some other American official with authority to open negotiations for the estnbljshment of peace and for fixing definite terms for the settlement of the present trouble. The application came to the- Chinese minister in Washington Monday and was taken by him to the State Department.. The application for the appointment of n peace commissioner expresses willingness to conduct the negotiations at a point desired by the powers. A similar

PRINCE LI-HUNG-CHANG. (From a late photograph.)

application has been made by Earl Li to all of the powers interested. His suggestion of Minister Conger as the American commissioner is based on the idea that as Mr. Conger has been rescued be has now the opportunity to proceed to the point where negotiations will be held and conduct them. The application does not suggest any particular terms, nor does it ask for the withdrawal of troops. It requests thitr the negotlafibris shaLL be for the purpose.of bringing about a cessation cf hostilities.

EMPRESS A FUGITIVE.

Japanese Cavalry Chase the Fleeing Dowager an 1 Her Court. The Japanese cavalry on Monday left Pekin in pursuit of the dowager empress and her court, according to telegrams from the north received at Shanghai by Chinese officials. These dispatches aver that the empress and her treasure train, protected by 30,(XH) troops, arrived at Wuatisan, in Shansi province. The Chinese minister in London received a dispatch from Pekin saying that the empress dowager and the emperor left Pekin a few days before the allies arrived there. The field telegraph north of Yang-tsun is interrupted amL-rrotiriirgTiintcr Pekin date appears to have reached Yang-tsun since Aug. 17. Heavy rains have been falling in the province of Pechili. The landing of the British troops at Shanghai Is not causing excitement among the natives. A detachment of 100 French marines landed there Monday. A customs

cruiser is reported to have gone to Tientsin to take away the foreigners rescued from Pekin. Many influential Chinese have interested themselves in the fate of a Chinaman sentenced by an English court nt Hongkong to six months’ imprisompent at hard labor because he was a member of the Triad society. The Washington bureau of navigation Monday morning received the following cablegram from Admiral Remey: "Authentic report from Pekin Aug. 15 from Lieut. Lattimer. Troops moving on imperial city. Clearing out Tartar city. All Americans who remained in Pekin are well except one child. Capt. Myers recovered from wound, has typhoid, crisis passed and now convalescing. Assistant Surgeon Lippett was wounded upper left leg; Nine f-actured; leg saved; now recovering."

WASHINGTON GOSSIP

Assistant Secretary Taylor, in charge of the immigration bureau of the Treasury Department, goes to Montreal to eoufer with XJanndian authorities with the idea of establishing prohibitive measures to .prevent- the rapidly increasing flow of undesirable immigrants over Canadian borders into this country, in violation of the laws of inspection nnd immigration. This subject has been an old sore whish the immigration authorities have attempted to heal. But the situation is brought to a crisis now by the great tide of immigrants now breaking through the lings and settling this side the border. The Russian Jews and Italians form the bulk of these immigrants. Easy channels of admission to this country are afforded by the steamship and railway companies. Secretary Taylor proposes to stop this evil and incidentally arrive at an agreement with Canadian officials to maintain necessary safeguards at various points of entry.

Important survey work of this gov r.mmeut in the West Indies will be continued next year. Four vessels of the navy will probably be used for this purpose, the Yankton and Eagle, now at the Portsmouth, N. 11.. navy yard; the Vixen, now at Norfolk, and the Scorpion, at Boston. The commercial lines which do business with West Indian ports coinplain of the inaccuracy of the old Spanish charts, and naval officers find them dangerously defective in.many The wonder is, say naval officers, that the charts have been of practical service so long. The United States Government has done a great deal already toward correcting the'old charts and has expended a large sum of money in coast and harbor surveys. The work will require two and possibly three more seasons to complete, but all possible haste will be made to issue reliable charts as a result of the surveys now contemplated.

What the statisticians at the Census bureau, are seeking for just now is to establish the probable ratio of increase in the population, and when that is done a good guess can be made as to the total for tbe country. The ratio for the whole country between ISSO and 1890 was 24.86 per cent increase. From 1870 to 1880 it was 30.08; from 1860 to 1870, 22.63 per cent; and from 1850 to 186(1 the increase was 35.58. Tbe low rate from 1860 to 1870 was, of course, due to the war, but as a whole the percentage of increase in all countries is reduced steadily as they fill up the unoccupied lauds. The experts look for a reduction in the r'atio to a considerable extent.. The increase now appears to be only twothirds as much as ten years, ago. Some of the best posted men in the census say the total will be between 74,000,000 and 78,000,000, and rather above than below the mean between those figures.

Of the total of $1,000,000,000 In gold in the United S.tates it is estimated at the treasury that the bulk is locked in the departmentsafesandin national banks. The gold reserve in the treasury amounts to $430,0Q®,000, while the national banks hold a large proportion, so that nearly $600,000,000 of tiie gold supply is withdrawn from circulation. During August Secretary Gage expects so pay out $19,000,000 to redeem the old 2 per cent bonds. Up to the present time $6,000,000 of the 2 per cent issue has been redeemed, and it is believed that the bulk of the $19,000,000 remaining will be tendered for redemption during August, when interest upon the issue will expire. .These bonds were issued on authority iof tbe act of 1876-9. The payment issue will reduce the bonded d.bt of the nation to almost $1,000,000,000.

At its last session Congress appropriated $6,000 for drawing plans for an addition to the White House. Capt. Theodore Bingham, superintendent of public buildings and grounds, is now having the plaits prepared, and there will be an effort to have tbe alterations made in time for the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the location of the capitol in Washington. Congress will be asked to appropriate a million dollars at the short session next winter.

The one member of the cabinet who does not believe it is necessary to leave Washington in the summer is Secretary of the Treasury Lyman J. Gage. He remains at his post the year around, at)d his only change is to move out to his sub' urban cottage at Chevy Chase when the warm weather arrives. From there he comes in every morning on the electric car, reading his newspaper like the rest of the department employes. Word was received at the census office that William G. Pine Coffin nnd Charles M. Robbins, enumerators for the northern districts of Alaska, who were thought to have perished on their way down the Yukon from Rampart City to St. Michaels, had arrived there safely, that their portfolios were in perfect condition, nnd that they closed up their work and received their pay. General Director of the Census Merriam is in danger of getting the writer’s cramp. He is spending nearly ten hours n day now writing his name. There are about 50,000 pay vouchers which have to bear his signature. He says he is getting so he dreams his signature nt night and sees visions of never ending payrolls.

Congress will be naked to provide for further dry docks next year. The naval constructor nt the Norfolk navy yard hns recommended another structure for that plnce. nithough one was authorised by the late Congress. Ft will be necessary to buy additional laud for the dock already provided for, mid it is possible sufficient hind will be acquired by this government to build the fourth dock how urged. A new dock is contemplated at the Mare Island (California) navy yard also. •

INDIANA INCIDENTS.

RECORD OF EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK. Tornado Works Turnage at Bremen— Mob Pursues Keith—Marries Man Who Slew Her 1 Lover—Small Wheat Crop—State Prisoners Escape. Bremen was visited by a disastrous wind storm at 3 o’eloel: the other afternoon that developed into a tornado. Telephone and electric light wires were blown down and the streets were strewn with uprooted shade trees. The huge new smokestack that was creeled but a few days ago on the electric light plant was blown 200 feet. Houses were unroofed and windows blown in. The grain elevator of J. E. Dietrich was partly unroofed and moved from its foundation. The loss to property will reach several thousand dollars and cause delay . nA the various factories. - Indiana’s Light Wheat Crop. Reliable grain dealers from all parts of the State have collected statistics., showing the total yield of wheat in Indiana for the present year. The figures indicate that the production is the smallest for many years and not exceeding 8,000,000 bushels, against from 25,000,000 to 40,000,000 fur' several years, in succession prior to 1899. The crop is a practical failure, there being but little more than enough grain raised for seeding, and leaving a shortage for bread and - seed of at least 10,060,000 bushels. Mother Dies fretti Joke. Mrs. Lillie Eby of Nappanee, 20 years old, died under peculiar circumstances. While in Chicago with her sister-in-law the letter played a joke on Mrs. Eby, wrapping a big doll, with eyes that closed and opened, in the clothing ot Mrs. Eby’s infant. Presenting the dvH-, whichhad its eyes closed as though dead, to Mrs. Eby, she remarked, “Here is your baby,” Mrs. Eby took one glance, ex--claimed, “My, bow you frightened me!” and was attacked with convulsions which shortly resulted in her death. Mob Hunts Alleged Slayer. Joseph D. Keith, the alleged murderer of Nora Kifer, whose body was found iu Pigeon creek three months ago, was taken from the Booneville jail to the Evansville jail. A mob of 300 farmers was forming near Booneville, a‘nd Judge Gough ordered the prisoner moved to Evansville at once. The niob reached the jail just as the sheriff was leaving with the prisoner, and there was a hut chase to the depot. The prisoner was got on board the train just in time to prevent lynching. Weds Her Lover's Slayer. After six years of waiting Mrs. Jennie Y. Bean and James Van Hoak of Charlestown have been married. The event was fixed for June, 1894, but several tragic incidents prevented tbe ceremony being performed. Emil Schaeffer was in love with Mrs. Bean and persisted in paying her attention, until one day in an altercation he was shot through the heart by Van Hoak and killed. A sensational trial resulted iu the acquittal of Van Hoak. Prisoners Leap from n Tratn. Twenty-six prisoners from the State reformatory were transferred to the Michigan City State’s prison as incorrigibles. They were chained together two in a seat. As the train was leaving Otis two prisoners. Turner and Miller, grand larceny men, sentenced from two to fourteen years, jumped from the window and escaped. Excitement among the other prisoners was quelled. The other two are still at large. It is supposed one sawed his manacles on the train. Shoots Brother's Accuser. Huston Manis, living near Anderson, shot and killed instantly Irvin Lawson. Manis and his brother had been there attending the trial of Marshal Lawson, a brother of Irvin Lawson, for threatening to kill Manis. After the trial on the way home Irvin Lawson tried to pull Manis out of bis buggy, when Manis shot him twice.
