Miss Davenport descended from a family of players and inherited a love for _the stage which took her behind the footlights when she was only fen years of age and kept her there uninterruptedly through life. The $5,000 given in trust by Benjamin Franklin in 1790 to help worthy apprentices and for other public objects in Boston now amounts to $500,000 and has been decided—to be at the disposal of the city. A difference of opinion exists as to its proper use. One proposition is to expend it in building trade sclrools, this being in Hne with Franklin’s intent. :

Henri Dunant, the founder of the Red Cross society, is now about 70 years old. He spent half his fortune in his great work and then lost'the other half by business reverses. He was in , absolute want, but kas been pensioned by the'dowager empress of Russia and the federal council of Switzerland. The citizens of /Stuttgart have also raised a generous subscription for him.

All the railways in Belgium have changed their clocks and time tables soo as to make them read one‘to twen-ty-four, midnight being 24 o’clock.

The floating of the Spanish-armored cruiser Maria Teresa is a matter of some historical importance. -She will be an object of national pride and a great naval curiosity. She was Cervera’s flagship as she skteamed out of the harbor of Santiago to try conclusions with an American fleet. Yankee courage sunk her, and Yankee ingenuity raised her. Under our flag she enters on a new and better career.

‘A Conmnecticut clergyman on a recent Sunday gave out the following notice: “The regular session of the Donkey club will be held, as usual, at the close of this service. Members will lne up just outside the church door, make remarks and stare at the women who pass, as is their custom. Any member known to escort a yohng woman to a church like a man and sit with her like a gentleman will be promptly expelled from -membership.” A

A peculiar trait of American character is shown in the Cervera incident. He was captured while the war spirit was highest, but as soon as he became a prisoner he was treated with the utmost consideration by the very people who might naturally be expected to manifest the greatest hatred for him. The old admiral had to wait until he had landed again on home soil before he could realize that he had been engaged in a war. o ‘

‘A New Jersey woman divorced her husband because he would not allow her 1o put pie on the family bill of fare. The wretched mam pleaded self-de-fense, but the plea didn’t work. He tried to show that he couldn’t afford pie, because he didn’t have the dough. He insisted that pudding is really pie with the lid missing. He even| advanced the proposition that pie had a bad effect on his wife’s tempern, by making her crusty. But the judge was obdurate, and the brutal husband got his just deserts. b

' 'The military governor of Santiago, Gen. Wood; reports that since _the American occupation of the city the death rate has dropped steadily and is now about one-fourth of what it was formerly.. This shows what determined effort along scientific lines will do in the tropics. Cuba has been a pest hole simply because of the criminal negligence of the authorities in relation to the sanitation of the island. It is wot the climate but the filth that has caused the big death rate. DBut the future is bright with promize. ; ;

B Y ‘ GOVERNOR GETS MAD, Minnesota Executive Sends a Tart "~ Message to Gen. Corbin. i st He .Declares }he Government May Keep Its Soldiers and He Will Pro- ' tect Settlers from the Indians : with ‘the Militia. ‘Minneapolis,Minn.,Oct. 10.—The government has notified Gov. Clough that it has revoked the order putting the companies of the Fourteenth Minnesota volunteers at Duluth and at St. Paul under his orders. He had all preparations made to send the Duluth companies to the front at once to protect the settlers, and was arranging to mobilize the remaining companies at St. Paul. He supposes that the revocation is due to Gen. Bacon’s message saying that the trouble was over and that there was no more danger. He added: ' - ““I shall pay no more attention to the war department. If necessary I will issue a call for volunteers, arm them .with such guns as I can pick up and let the govern‘ment go to the devil. I am tired of doing business with Washington. There is too much red tar-.about it. Orders are issued one minute and revoked the next. Tam not an alarmist, but it is the safe thing to be prepared. It will reassure the settlers and perhaps prevent an outbreak.” W. F. Street wires the governor from Bemidji, west of Cass Lake: “While I do not regard the situation here a 3 alarming, our people are much disturbed. If you could send village authorities 200 stands of arms they would be gratefully received. Red lLake Indians reported irritable.” e 3 ; "Gov. Clough’s Dispatch. i St. Paul, Minn., Oct.. 10. — The fol lowing telegram - was sent |by Gov. Clough Saturday: “H. C. Corbin, Adjutant General, Wash‘ington: No one claims that reenforcements were needed at Walker. I have not been asked for assistance from that quarter, though I do not think that Gen. Bacon has won the victory he claims. The people generally say so. The Indians claim that they have won, and that is my opinion. The people all along the Fosston branch of the Great Northern railroad are very much alarmed and are asking for assistance for the protection asked of the war department. The soldiers are here and are willing and ready to go, but as you have revoked your order of yesterday, you can do what you like with your soldiers. The state of Minnesota will try and get along without any assistance from the depart= ment in the future. : : “M. CLOUGH, Governor.” National Guard Sent, Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 10.—Batteries A and B, Minnesot.a national guard, left at eight o’clock in the morning for Deer river and Cass lake via Duluth. They are in command of Maj. E. C. Libbey. One battery is from this city and one from St. Paul.

They are equipped with a Gatling and a field gun for each battery, and each man carries a saber and revolver. i

Government Troops to Be Used. . St. Paul, Minn,, Oct. 10.—Gen. Bacon’s orders for the movement of more troops to the vicinity of Leech lake took 90 men from Fort Snelling on a special train Saturday night. Two companies of the Fourteenth Minnesota volunteers are held at Duluth ready to start for points along thé Fosston line of the Great Northern,-where the two batteries of militia artillerymen have preceded them, and another company of the Fournteenth, made up of 50 men from company F, of Merriam Park, and 50 from the guard staticned in charge of Camp Van Duzee, where the Fourteenth is to be mustered out, has been ordered to take the nine o’clock train this morning for points along that same road. These last will take with them the equipment of the two Duluth companies, which wasleft at Camp Van Duzee when the men were furloughed.: Settlers Seek Shelter. ; St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 10.—A Pioneer Press special from Ferris, Minn., a small town north of Leech Lake, says: A report reached here late Sunday evening of the killing of a white man near Bear island during the day.

Plans of the Redskins., Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 10.—A correspondent of the Tribuné at-Walker says he was told by a man who says his informant is a hostile Pillager Indian, one who was in Wednesday’s battle and who sat.in all the councils of the Pillagers, that the Indians have sworn to an agreement to accomplish, if possibie, the following: They will attempt in a few days to drive from the reservation all of the troops dlready there. They will, if they are sucessful in the above, not allow any United States authorities or United States troops thereafter to land upon the reservation. .If {roops land upon a point not inhabited by the hostile Indians an attempt will be made to drive them off as soon as possible. The man who gave this information is believed to be thoroughly reliable. As soon as the correspondent had spoken with him he asked that he speak with Gen. Bacon, which he did, and for some time he and the general were in conference. Held Constitutional.

THOUSANDS ARE STARVING.

People in the Yellow Fever Districts of the Southin a Sorry : ‘ Plight.

Jackson, Miss., Oct. 10.—With every hour the panic in Mississippi continues and all who can are fleeing from the dread yellow fever. Nine carloads of fugitives passed through the city Saturday night, and every train for the east or north is crowded with those who have means sufficient to warrant such a step. With the great majority of citizens, how,e\'ver; flight is impossible, and among/these thousands are already in the direst need. Mercantile houses are closed, manufacturing plants shut down and all business abandoned, throwing employes out of work. which means. in most cases actual starvation.. Few of the wage-earning classes are- thrifty, and the loss of salaries leaves them dependent upon public charity for food. It is estimated that over 6,000 are suffering for the necessaries of life, and this number does not inc Jude thousands within reach of private charities. ' M The area of the fever has so enlarged that infection may be said to be general throughout the state, as there is not a section: that has not been visited: Three interstate railroads have practically suspended business, and several short lines are on the verge of a temporary shutdown, due to the lack of trade. Twenty thousand or more people have hurriedly left the state and are in northern cities. If anything further is needed to show the general destitution or helpless condition of the laboring classes an appealy sent out by the state board of health, is sufficient to set all doubts at rest. This ‘document is official.

aFor‘ several days efforts have been made to reach the governor in order to get his approval for thisappeal: He has been absent in the pine country. Saturday morning he appeared in Brandon, Laving been readmitted by the authorities. Secretary Power, of the Howard Relief associatiof, got into communication with him and the governor telephoned his signature. - Dr. J. W. Lee, of St. Louis, wired Bishop Galloway that the orphan children from the infected asylum would not be received there. He stated that the health authorities did not include among refugees people who had been exposedrto fever, and would not allow such to enter the city. . = At present there are 17 infected towns in the state, including Ridgeland, Madison county, reporied at a late hour, where there are a number of northern people. These people carme here from Illinois and established a colony. Theyhavebeenadvertising and booming the town, raising vegetabiles and fruit for shipment north,; and this visitation is a heavy blow to them. Jackson, Miss., Oct. 10.—An unknown white than, stricken with yellow fever, who had taken refuge, in a negro church, was burned alive Saturday near Philips, a small country town in Leflore county, Miss., within 200 miles of the state capital. The man has been turned away from different towns by quarantine guards. He was found by negroes who had gone to the church to make it re%fcr Sunday’s Divine services, Being ¥ick the negroes fled from him and reported theicase to Dr. T. B. Harrison, health officer of the county. Harrison reported that the Tan was dying. He had some symptoms of yellow fever, but whether he had the disease in reality or not will never be known. Soon after his first visit the doctor returned with medicine for the sick man, and was horrifiad to find the church in ashes and to find only the charred bones of the patient. Nothing could be learned as to the identity of the parties who perpetrated the deed, and it will never be known whether the poor fellow was dead or alive when the flames reached his body. Selma, Ala., Oct. 10.—The board of cegsors, or the committee on publie health of Dallas county, has established a quarantine against the states of Mississippi and Louisiana. i

When he proceeded to talk to the practical old gentleman about marrying his gaughter he was evidently prepared for the usual question: i : : : “Do you think you can support my daughter in the style to which she has been accustomed 7’ o : The parent Sfiqke this phrase with the air of a man who thinks he has uttered a poser.

Her mother and I are both practical people and we have given her a practical education. She can not only read Greek and play the piano—she practices three hours a day—but she can get a good dinner and make her purchases in market as intelligently as an experienced steward. Moreover, her abilities with the needle are not confined to fancy work. She’s a treasure, and we don’t propose to have any misun&erstandmgs about her future.” “You were asking me if I thought I could support her in the style to which she has been accustomed.” o “I was.” : “Well, I could. But I don’t propose to. After she marries me she’s not going to practice three hours a day on any piano nor cook dinners nor take back talk from market (feople.

A few dollars invested in Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters will accomplish the task easily. The poor as well as the rich ean afford it.” -
