Emerson’s famous complexion remedy, if not the most satisfactory seems the safest and most harmless. “There is.” says the sage, “no beautifier of the complexion, or form, or behavior Jike the wish to scatter joy and not pain round us.” Too frequently the use of more material means of improving one's looks mnot only banishes the beauty but gives pain to the user. |

The president did not think it beneath his dignity to say a good word in his message for cavalry and artillery horses worn-out in long performance of duty. ‘“Such horses,” he says, ‘‘fetch but a trifle when sold, and rather than turn them out to the misery awaiting them when thus disposed of, it would be better to employ them at light work around the posts, and when mnecessary to 6 put them painlessly to death.” - |

. The warning.of the secretary of agriculture that the foot and mouth disease may reach the west has caused some uneasiness. Those who explain his language say he meant that its spread in the middle states would close all our ports to the export of cattle.

Cattle infected with the disease do not get far from the Atlantic seaboard. - s :

APPEALS TO BOWEN.

Castro Asks Minister to Present Re-

quest for Arbitration.

It Is Feared, However, That Affairs Have Reached a Point Where They Cannot Be Settled Without a Conflict.

Washington, Dec. 13.—A catleg"ram received at the state department Friday from Minister Bowen at Caracas states that the Venezuelan government has requested him to propose to Great Britain and Germany thai the difficulties arising out of the claims for alleged damages and injuries to British and German subjects during the civil war be submitted to arbitration.

In conformity with the understanding already reached with the representatives of the British and German governments here, this proposition from President Castro will be duly laid before those governments, the state department acting merely as a channel of communication. Not much hope is entertained of the favorable reception of the proposition, as it is felt that the difficulty has progressed too far for a settlement by the peaceful methods of arbitration. The reprisals made by the Venezuelans for the destruction of their navy, in the seizure of Dritish ships and ths arrest of British and German subjects, practically have developed the relations between the countries into those of real war, althbugh technically the principals prefer to designate it ‘as something less. In doing so Great Britain and Germany are simply following the course taken during the war with China, when, notwithstanding the fact that the allied fleet battered down Taku and captured- and distributed a number of Chinese naval vessels, no declaration of war was forthcoming. It is realized here that the outcome is very doubtful, and the way is beset with difficulties. 1f the claims against Venezuela were only those of Great Britain and Germany, the adjustment might be easier, but France and Italy, the United States, and perhaps, other nations, also have claims, and they cannot accept any arrangement whieh Great Britain and Germany might force upon Venezuela which would deprive them of their right of reclamaxion. G

Cable Staticn» Captured.

Berlin, Dec. 13.—The cable station at La Guayra has been captured by an Anglo-German force. .

Refuse to Surrender.

Caracas, Dec. 13.—The demand for the surrendeér of Puerto Cabello to the Anglo-German fleet has been refused. The German flagship’ Vineta and the British cruiser Ariadne have cleared their decks for action and their commanders have served notice that unless. the port is surrendered within 24 hours the town will be bombarded. All German and English residents of the town have been released by order of President Castro. They have taken refuge on board the foreign warships. :

Venezuelans to Resist.

Venezuelan troops have been hurried to Puerto Cabello since Thursday, and every preparation made for active resistance. It is believed that the Venezuelan force can defeat any landing party from the Vineta and the Ariadne even if the foreign guns reduce the town to ashes. : Germany Is Blamed. . London, Dec. 13.+-The foreign office informs the press that the British gov: ernment disclaims responsibility for the sinking of the Venezuelan vessels off La Guayra, which it entirely attributes to the German forces. : The foreign office officials also said they had not received information to the effect that Venezuela had requested Mr. Bowen to act as arbitrator. They think it is not likely that the proposition has been made, but if such is the case they do not consider that arbitration at this stage would be acceptable to Great Britain, } : British Vessel Helped Sink Shipa. Berlin, Dec.. 13.—Late in the day the following dispatch was received here from Willemstad, Curacoa: *“The German warships have embargoed three Venezuelan ships and disabled a fourth near La Guayra.” . The dispatch from Willemstad received in Berlin probably refers to the Venezuelan ships seized December 9 and reported to have been sunk early the next morning off La Guayra. Not Ordered to Sink Vessels. As the result of fresh inquiries made regarding the reported sinking of Venezuelan vessels off La Guayra it is learned that the orders given to the German and Brigish commanders were to capture the vessels before beginning the blockade. No orders were given to sink them. If, however, any vessel has been sunk there was a military measure necessary in carrying out the foregoing orders. No report has yet been received from Cemmodore Scheder, the German commander. The foreign office here refuses to believe the vessels were sunk and will not eredit the report until confirmatory newsis received officially from the German representatives on the spot. Barrett Declines Appointment, Washington, Dec. 13.—Secretary Hay has received a cablegram from John Barrett, dated at Calcutta, India, Friday, stating that he regarded it as his duty to continue his connection with the St. Louis exposition and therefore declining the Japanese mission, which had been tendered to him. Itisunderstood that Lboyd Griscom, Jr., now minister to Persia; who was charge d’affaires at Constantinople, and in that capacity did much to effect a settlement of the American claims, wilt be the successor to the late Minister Buck. . Rock Island Train Wrecked. Fort Worth Tex., Dec. 13.—A Rock Island north-bound passenger train ran into a broken rail near Terrill, I. T., early Friday morning and was badly wrecked. Engineer George Clark ~and Fireman George Wells, of Fort Worth, were killed. None of the passengers was seriously hurt. - 1 T e . Harlan, Ky., Dec. 13.—Frank Lewis was hanged Friday in the presence of 5,000 people for the murder of Henry Dixon. The men had quarreled over the separation of Lewis and his wife. the latter being Dixoun’s 'daughter.

COAL DOCKING IS EXPOSED.

Witness Before Strike Commission Says Men Mine More Coal Than | They Are Paid For.

Scranton, Pa., Dec. 13.—The greater part of Friday’'ssessions of the anthracite coal striké commission was taken up in presenting cumulafive testimony on matters that have already been heard by the commission. This testimony tended to show that there has been excessive. docking, that many men were discriminated against because they went on strike rather than do the work of strikers, that they are paid one price for mine cars of all sizes, that they <do not get paid for all the coal mined, that they should have the eight-hour day, because the mines are unhealthy and dangerous and that they ought to receive higher wages. '

Late in the day President Mitchell was called to the stand and presented comparative figures which showed that men paid by the day receive from 40 to 50 per cent. higher wages in the bituminous regions than they did in the anthracite fields. lis figures of the anthracite fields were gathered by his own officers, and a hurried comparison with the figures handed to the commission by the Delaware & Hudson company., he said, showed that his were generally higher. The Delaware & Hudson's statistdes are the only ones oflicially before the commission. :

The attorneys for the miners do not expect to close their case until the early part of next week, probably Tuesday. It is not known to the lawyers for the companies whether they will be able to immediately proceed with their case, and it'is ‘possible they will ask for a short recess. The representatives of the coal companies are considering the advisability of joining hands in presenting their opening argument, and have only one joint address, instead of each company presenting a separate one. It is wvery likely this will be done. .

lOWA CROPS.

Total Value of All Productions for 1902 Is $218,722,339, a De~ ; crease 08 $60,000,000.

' Des Moines, Ta., Dec. 13.—The final report on the yield and value at current prices of the ITowa crop of 1902 is made public by Director of the Crop Service J. R. Sage, having been held back two weeks .in order to check the returns on which it is based. The report indicates that the rains of the past season were more disastrous than the drought of 1901. The total value of the crop is placed at $215.722,339, or $60,000,000 less than the value of the crop of 1901. The greatest falling off is in corn. The yield this year was 296,950,230 bushels, valued at $83,000,000, against 227,000,000 bushels, valued at $118,000,000 last year, an increase in yield this year of 60,000,000 bushels and a decrease in value of $35,000,000. Lagt year the corn crop was all marketable, but this year only 137,000 000 bushels, or 47 per cent. is marketable. The soft corn in making up the figures for this year is given its estimated feeding value. The next heaviest decrease is in the value of the oat ecrop, the valuations being $40,209,000 in 1901 and $22,297.900 in 1902. The value of the wheat crop fell off $3,913,106, of barley, §1,371,290, and of hay, $1,925,618.

OPPOSE GOLD STANDARD.

Silver Question a Leading Topic of Discussion Throughout Re--3 % public of Mexico.

Mexico City, Dec. 13.—The silyer question.- continues ‘to be one off the great topics of public discussion. Mt is now certain that the silver miners and farming classes will make a common cause against the adoption of the gold standard. The miners argue that silver mines in gold standard countries will have to shut down at the present price of silver, while Mexican mines can continue to be operated, also that silver mining and agriculture are interests with more claim on the protection of the government than railways or merchants. Meantime all prices are being raised and there is much anxiety felt among the middle classes, especially wage earners and calaried men. The cost of living is considered to be out of proportion to incomes. ’ BURNED TO DEATH.

TRADE REVIEW.

Retail Dealers Report Sales Largely in Excess of Similar Period . in Previous Years. .

New York, Dec. 13.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Tradesays: “Lower temperature and holiday demands have combined to accelerate retail trade, sales largely exceeding the corresponding week in preceding years. Much postponed business is being made up, and shipping departments are crowded with work, but wholesale trade has ruled quiet. Railroad earnings for the month of November exceeded last year’s by 7.0 per cent. and those of 1900 by 20.5 per cent. Fdilures this week in the United States are 269 against 204 last week. 213 the preceding week and 273 the corresponding week last year, and in Canada 30, against 15 last week, 16 the preceding week and 17 last year.” o Bradstreet's says: ‘“Retail distribution. further stimulated by cold weather and the advance of the holiday season, has expanded largely. until now it easily occupies first-position in the trade situaticn. Wholesale trade, except where inroads upon re‘ailers’ stocks have induced recrders, is relapsing into the quiet usual at the stock-taking period. Building trade activity has been checked by the climatic. influences prevailing, and the distribution of lumber and building materials generally is less active. Other leading industries also note the quieting down usual at this season. Cold weather and snow have helped distribution at retail, in the northwest, and the outlook is for an unprecedented holiday distribution on the Pacific coast. Reorders of heavy goods from’ jobbers are still of moderate proportions at the west, but spring sales are larger than a yearago in dry goods, shoes and clothing. Holiday trade is brisk for this early stage of the season at the east.”
