UP IN ARMS. CltlKm of Denver Take Steps to Rid the City of Thugs and Criminals. Denver, Col., Jan. 6.—This city will present a decidedly martial aspect if jdans adopted at a mass meeting of citizens Sunday afternpon arc carried out, and the temper of the meeting would indicate that they will be. Because of the many crimes that have been committed here within the past year or two, which have brought terror to Denver residents, the latter have organized of safety, for the purpose of protecting the people against criminals. The streets are to be patrolled during the night by armed citizens, who will be expected to keep the town free of the criminal class. Everybody on the streets at night will be expected to give an account of themselves when called upon, and failing to satisfy the challenger of the sufficiency of their reasons for being abroad, will be arrested. Police magistrates will be urged to make punishment for crime so heavy as to deter even the most desperate. For months past thugs and thieves have overrun this city. Women have been criminally assaulted in their own houses and on the streets, hold-ups and robberies have been of almost daily occurrence and even murder has been committed at tiroes when the occasion, from the. standpoint of the vicious, demanded it. The murder of 14-year-old Harold Fridbom and the assault of his sister on New Year’s night aroused the people to a fury that augurs poorly for the thug who falls into their hands in the future. PEKING IS GAY. Takes on Gorgeous Appearance in Preparation for Return of Chinese Court. Peking, Jan. 6. —The Chinese capital on the eve of the court’s return presents an animated and gaudy scene never before witnessed in its history. All the palaces, pagodas and temples have been repaired and painted to form a. glittering spectacle. The roofs of these buildings viewed from the city walls are patches of shining yellow tiles and brick. The walls about the imperial city are a vivid crimson, and the gates have been repaired and gilded. On the towers above the Chen-Meq gate stands a gorgeous structure of wood, cloth and paper, with a yellow painted dragon entwined above the massive cloth pillars* Hundreds of Chinese officials clad in furs and embroidered silks ride about the streets of Peking, and parties of foreign soldiers, bent upon sight-seeing, roam everywhere. Thousands of new soldiers from the province of SlianTung, who are finely uniformed and equipped with modern weapons, entered Peking Sunday morning and marched, through Legation street. WERE UNFOUNDED. The Recent Rumors of the Releaae of Bliss Stone Pronounced to Be Untrue. . Constantinople, Jan. 6.—The news that the brigands holding Miss Stone captive are being hustled by the inhabitants of the Turkish territory where they are said to be in hiding, has created considerable sensation here. A deadly feud is said to exist between the leaders of the hostile bands, some of whom are reported to have deserted and jis attempting to reenter Bulgaria. Much anxiety is felt here with regard "to the outcome of these developments. The American legation here has not yet received news from M. Gerguilo, the dragoman of the legation (who left Salonica for the interior the latter part of last month, with the purpose of meeting Miss Stone’s captors). Members of the legation say the rumors of Miss Stone’s release are quite unfounded. .No direct news has been received from the American- captive since November 13, the date of the last letter from Miss Stone to Mr. Dickinson, consul general at Constantinople. ASSASSINATED: ; Unknown Coward Murder* Kentucky Banner While Surrounded by His Family. Franklin, Ky., Jan. 6. —Fleas- Hall was assassinated at his home, five miles from Franklin, about eight o'clock Saturday night, while sitting around his hearthstone with his wife and four children. fired upon through the window with a doublebarreled gun heavily loaded with slugs and buckshot, and the entire top of his head was torn off, The distressed wife and children picked up the lifeless body and placing it on the bed, remained alone with it throughout the night, afraid to venture out to give an alarm lest they meet the same cruel fate. Mr. Hall was 45 years old and one of the best-known farmers in the country. There is absolutely no clew to the perpetrator of the deed. Bloodhounds have been sent for, and no effort will be spared t° capture the assassin. Great excitement prevails, and if the guilty wretch is captured a lynching will undoubtedly follow. Victim of Dropr. - Milwaukee, Jan. 6. —Robert Samuel Houston, the oldest cheesemaker in Wisconsin, and a third cousin of Gen. Sam Houston, of Texas fame, died of dropsy at his home in this city Sunday, aged 82 years. Mr. Houston was known all over the state of Wisconsin as a dairyman and a legislator from Kenosha county. - Decatur. 111.. Bank Hnbfcti. Decatur, 111., Jan. 6.—Four men broke into the bank of A. R Scott at Bethany, blew up the safe and secured $2,000 m bills. Citizens were •roused and drove the robbers away.

INDORSED WITH A “NIT.” Btllllant Idea of Llent. Gilmore While Captive Among the Philippine Insurgents. Gen. Mae Arthur, despite his distinction and his many successes, modestly prefers to speak the praises of others. To a naval officer whom he entertained at Manila some time ago he told a story about Lieut. J. C. Gilmore, U. S. N., who was captured with seven men of .the Yorktown at Baler, Luzon island, an April, 1899, by the Philippine insurgents and held prisoner for months in the mountains. ' One of the prisoners who spoke Spanish fluently was commanded to translate into English decoy letters addressed “To Whom.lt May Concern," stating that the bearers were warm friends of the Americans and had failed in aiding them to escape only because of the vigilance of the insurgent guards. “It was the intention,” said Gen. MacArthur, “to have these letters used whenever the bearers might be captured by our forces, and also as passports for spies. Those superintending this literary coup had sufficient knowledge of English to make out the general sentiment of the document. “Lieut. Gilmore insisted,” continued the general, according to the Philadelphia Post, “that as chief officer among the prisoners he be given the privilege of looking over what had been written. Nodding approval over each letter he added to each the word ‘Nit,’ which the insurgents accepted as an official vise of the papers.” Gen. Mae Arthur showed one of these letters. “You can imagine,” said lie, “the unbounded admiration it created for the resourcefulness of Lieut. Gilmore.” WILHELMINA’S KIND MOTHER. llow She Saved an Unfortunate Man Servant from Dismissal for an Accident. The mother of young Queen Willielniina is not only respected for the wisdom she showed as regent during her daughter's minority, but she is also greatly loved for her kindliness and amiability. Os this the following story gives a charming illustration, says the Baltimore Herald. The king had bought a fine service of Serves porcelain for the use of the royal family, and he announced that any breakage would be followed by the instant dismissal of the servant who caused it, One day a man, who had been for many years one of the royal servants, went to the queen in the greatest distress and confessed that Jj.e had broken one of the precious cups. Queen Emma consoled him as best she could, and to’.d him to stick the cup together with cement. The man replied that the king would certainly notice the crack. Nevertheless the queen bade him mend the cup as neatly as possible, and give it to her that afternoon at teatime. This was done, and the queen, after drinking her'tea, rose suddenly, letting her cup fall on the floor, where it lay broken to atoms. “Think of me,” said she to her husband, “as one of the most clumsy of your majesty’s servants. 1 have broken one of the precious Sevres cups, and I don’t deserve to remain in your service. You must dismiss me at ogee.” The irascible old king was amused at her demure manner, and considered that accident quite a joke, He had no idea that there was more in it than met the eye, and that the queen’s so-called clumsiness had earned her the poor servant’s undying gratitude. A Game for Two. Once upon a time a young gentlemail and a younger lady were alone in a bright parlor in front of a cheerful open lire, with a table between them, playing cards. As they continued tc play and coat the table was not so much betvvi en them, for they both got nearer the tire and played the game on one corner of the table. They had started in to play eucher, but after an hourand a half they found that they were playinghearts. Moral—We are not always sure what the game is^—St. Louis-Republic, THE MARKETS.

DR. WAN AT A, of Lansing, Mich, scribe the best, and as I know and have proven that there is nothing in Materia Medica which equals Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound in severe cases of female disorders, I unhesitatingly prescribe it, and have never yet been sorry. I know of nothing better for ovarian troubles and for falling of the womb or ulcerations; it absolutely restores the affected parts to their normal condition quicker and better than anything else. I have known it to cure barrenness in women, who to-day arc happy mothers of children, and while the medical profession looks down upon ‘ patents,’ I have learned, instead, to look-up to the healing potion, by whatever name it be known.

What will be the largest white lead manufacturing plant in the world is to be established at St. Louis; capital, $15,000,000. The development of dry goods companies with large capital is one of the latest features in the great dry goods distributing centers. The smaller wholesalers are being driven out. The largest towboat ever made for American waters will soon be launched for use on the Mississippi. Over 1,200 tons of steel Will be used and 4,800horse power will be furnished. The boat is 275 feet long and 63 feet wide. The fruit growers of California are contemplating the organization of a cooperative company to control the marketing of their orchard products throughout the United States and Europe. Their first purpose is to keep clear of brokers and speculators. Something like a revolution in methods is now threatened by the results of the preliminary tests being carried on by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in New York city with Texas oil, which so far demonstrate that 2i/a barrels of that oil is equivalent in fuel power to a ton of coal.

SMALLPOX AND VACCINATION. The Chinese were the earliest to practice inoculation. They dipped a pleget of cotton, or rag, in the virus from, a pustule and placed it in the nostril. Two of the ancient English physicians, Gilbertus Angelicus and John of Gnddefden, both speak of the disease as commonly known to old women. They lived about 1320. The first book on smallpox was written by Ahrow, a priest and physician, who lived at Alexandria nnd wrote 30 books on physic in A. D. 683. He wrote chiefly on treatment, He advises swimming, drinking ice water in large quantities, small saffron (what this is I do not know), and warming medicines, and if the fever is high the room should be kept cool. In looking over a very old medical work, “An Historical Account of the Rise and Progress of Smallpox,” by William Hillany, M. D., of Bath, in 1740, I find that smallpox was first known at or soon after the destruction of Alexandria nnd the burning of its famous library by Amrovv Ebnai Aks, general of the Saracen army in the reign of Omar Chatnb, the second successor of Mohammed. The real discovery of vaccination was made before Jenner conducted his experiments. In the year 1774 (this date is assigned to Testy’s experiment in the record of the fact on his tombstone in the churchyard of Wofth Matravens) it occurred to Benjamin Testy, a Dorsetshire farmer.in good circumstances, hearing everyqpe was being cut for smallpox and having the old notion about oowpox being an antidote for smallpox, that it would serve as well to be cut for cowpox, so, accordingly, he himself did actually cut his wife and children for that disease. PEOPLEYOUHEAR MENTIONED George Humbug, an old gentleman residing in Long Stream, L. 1., has fallen heir to a neat little fortune of SIO,OOO, nnd despite the ominous sound of his name he is now besieged by ladies who would like to marry him.

Prof. Fiske is himself a chess expert and enjoys a close friendship with Morphy. Mrs. Charles M. Schwab, wife of the president of the United States Steel corporation, has traveled extensively and has a large and valuable collection of miniatures, of which she is an enthusiastic collector. She assists her husband in his establishment of industrial schools and is personally educating - many young friends.
