To an Associate Press reporter in Washington yesterday the admiral said: "I received today the telegram from the mayor of Chicago supplementing the letter of the Dewey committee of that city inviting me to visit there on the first of May. You , may say in your dispatches that all things being equal, barring any unlooked for circumstances, I shall accept the invitation to visit the city on tho first of May.

gaily lie deprived ot his seat in congress because he married his three wives before the law was enacted prohibiting polygamy in Utah, But he ignores the fact that that law put a legal stop to polygamous relations. Eight years after tho enactment of that law he was arrested for maintaining such relations and deprived of citizenship to regain which he took oath in 1895 to support the constitution and obey the laws, and especially to "obey the act of congress approved March 22, 1SS2, entitled 'An act to amend section 5352 of the revised . statutes of the United States in reference to bigamy and other offenses.' " Two years after taking this oath the second Mrs. Roberts gave birth to a pair of twins of which Mr. Roberts did not deny the paternity. Hence a warrant has recently been issued in Utah for his arrest on the charge of continued practice of polygamy. Up to this time he has kept out of the state since the warrant was issued and thus escaped service of the same. But meanwhile he is occupying the position . of a criminal evading justice. RURAL ROUTES. Report of Special Afent About Their Working in Indiana. S. M. Dice, superintendent of the western division of the rural mail service, has received the annual report of P. S. Heath, first-assistant postmaster sreneral, reviewing the work of the department. It contains a report of special agent E. H. Hathaway, who spent several months in Indiana, organising routes in country districts. He says: 'One of the most important objections to doing away with fourthclass postoftiees is the distances patrons have to go in order to register letters or packages. I have seen instances where, in place of a threemile journev, which was formerly necessary, they had to go ten miles, after the rural delivery service had succeeded the fourth-class offices. If rural carriers could be authorized to "do this registry business, it would be a great gain in favor of the free deliver v. "The salary paid rural mail carriers is not adequate compensation, when it is considered that they have to supply their own horses and vehicles. Sooner or later it will be found advisable to pay rural carriers enough salary so that they will be satisfied with little or nothing 'on the side' to help sustain themselves. As a rule, the carriers do not make $100 a year from all their outside commissions, and most of them would be glad to receive a salary of $500 a year and forego the right to do business for themselves while on duty. "In Indiana the service has an advantage of anenthusiasticpatronage,

I in spected routes for nearly two months in Indiana and have found by careful observation more than 200 miles of road in the country nave been graaeu and graveled by patrons of the rural mail routes in an endeavor w iui them made a permanent thing."

Those on the inside say that the combine Is no nearer completion now than it was several weeks ago. There are fourteen representatives of thrasher makers in Indianapolis. Indiana ha at least three of the leading concerns out of the thirty-four figured on by the combine promoters. Kumley x Co. of Laporte, the Robinson com pany and the Qaar, reott x tx- con frn of Richmond are the biggest while a smaller concern is located at Mt. Vernon.

" Information comes from Pittsburg that the meeting of the protective board of the Brotherhood of Loeomotive Firemen, held at the St. Charles hotel there during ths past two davs has developed i into a demand for higher wages. A committee from the board called on General Manager L. F. Ijoree of the Pennsylvania lines west and proposed a higher rate of wages for the firemen. The de mand was taken into consideration but no answer was given, and until the railroad officials are heard from the men will not say what they may do. The conductors, brakemen, switch men and baggagemen in the Broth erhood of railway trainmen are considering the propriety of making a united demand for an increase in wages. Vice-Grand master J. J. Hanehan of the Brotherhood of loco motive firemen states that even if the demand is made and refused nothing like a tie-up could occur without the sanction of the federated board of the railway men's organizations.

Not C per cent of all the women in America siend as much money as $50 per year on their clothes. Only IS per cent of all the families in America employ domestic help, leaving 82 per cent without even one servant. Out of 12.000.000 American families the income of 4.OO0.000 of these families is less than S4(0 each per year, and the incomes of nearly 80 per cent of the en tire number are less than $1,000 each per year. If all the dressmakers known to exist in America worked 24 hours of each day for a whole year without stopping for sleep or meals, they would still be able to make only one dress apiece for less than seven-eighths of the women of America.

ii THE PAGE'S DIFFICULTY. He Told Hla Tronblea Rig; at Ont nt the Weddlntc. A good story comes from Atlanta, but the Incident hapiened several seasons ajo. The occasion was a swell church wedding. The edifice had been gloriously decorated. The bride, surrouuded by a company of pages, flower girls ami maids of bouor. was slowly passing down the aisle, while the protqiecti ve bridegroom and his best man aud the officiating clergyman were taking their places. The church organ was pealing forth the sounds as of joyous weddlug iH'lls. Fashionable people dressed for the occasion occupied the seats of the handsome church. It so hapiH-ued that one of the pages had iu the rush of business preparatory to d:vssiug for the occasion been turned over to the care of a nurse. As he proceeded down the main aisle of the church In company with tbe other youngsters, who In white satin suits were doing the honors of each respective household, he suddenly espied his mother wealed in one of the pews. At this point the organist began playing softly as the wedding party Missed to the altar. Then, above the gentle st mil -.a of music clear as a bird could be heard the voice of the aforesaid small loy. "Mamma. he shrilly cried, "nurse put on my panties wrong side before, and I can't hardly walk!" Of course the horrified mamma could do nothing but blush scarlet, but lifted a prayer that the young scion would keep still from that time on. And be did aud received a hearty kiss from the bride at the close of the ceremony. This Is a true story and can be vouched for by those who attended the wedding, Galesburg (Ga.) Mali. ANCIENT ARITHMETIC. Examples That Were I'aed In Egy-pi 3.000 Yri Ajo. Probably the oltleat copy book for tionte lesBoas In arithmetic was recently unearthed in Egypt. The papyrus, which was found In excellent condition, dates from the period about 1700 B. O. that Is. about 100 years before the time of Moses, or almost 3,000 rears ago. It proves that the Egyptians had a thorough knowledge of elcincutary mathematics almost to the jxtent of our own. The" papyrus has 11 long heading. "Direction how to attain the knowledge of all dark things," etc. Numerous examples show that their principal operations with entire units aud fractious were niade by means of addition anil multiplication. Subtractions and divisions were not known In their present form, but correct results were obtained nevertheless. Equations are also found In the papyrus. Among the examples given Is this one: Ten measures of barley are to be divided among ten persons In such a manner that each subsequent person receives one-eighth of a measure less than the one liefore him. Another example given Is: There are seven men. each one has seven cats, each cat has eaten seven mice, each mouse has eaten seven grains of barley, each grain of barley would. If cultivated, have yielded seven measures of barley. How much barley has been lost In that way ? The papyrus also cntalns calcula tions of area, the calculation of the ( area of a circle and Its transformation j Into a square, and finally calculations of the cubic measurements of pyramids. Philadelphia Iiecord. j The Fatp of Admiral Br(. Admiral John Byng was the fourth son or tne fciri or 1 ornngton ana serv-1 ed in the British navy, rising to be , admiral of the red In 14S. when he, was 44 years old. In 1750 he was sent with a badly equipped fleet to relieve Minorca, threatened by the French. ' He reached Minorca after the French had got there. His second In com-; inand. Hear Admiral West, drove them back, while Byng kept his ships out of ' action. Iu a day or two he sailed to Gibraltar, leaving Minorca to Its fate, j He was tried for treachery and cow- 1 ardice. but acquitted. The court mar- ? tial convicted him of not having done his best to relieve the island, and under the application of article 12 of the British naval code of those days he was condemned to be shot. The ministers took him as a scapegoat, and he was shot on the quarter deck of his own flagship, the Monarque. In Ports- . , ., ... montb barbor ou Martb ,4- 1'37A Text That raicat.

FAIRBANK COMPANY SLLaais THE MOHAVE INDIANS THEY ARE THE MOST SUPERSTITIOUS OF ALL OUR RED MEN. After Oraik Their Splrtta. TTty tori Are Cnrrlrd to Heaven In the aik From Their Bnrnlnc Uwdlee Th Sot Bnrned Tarn Is Owla. J. K. Meeklnson, formerly a government special agent, says that the MoLaves are the most superstitious tribe of North American Indiana. "The Mohaves, said he. "believe in a god Mat-o-we-Ua. He la the maker of all things. He has a son. whom they call Mas zam ho. who is king of the departed spirits. Mat-o-we-lia, they say. conducts the movements of the sun. iiiuou and stars. He sends the rain and the sunshine and decides whether the sen sou shall bring feast or famine. He guards the hunting ground. Mas-sam-ho has full charge of affairs In heaven, or White Mountain, as they call IU - . "They believe that the spirit dead go up to White Mountain In smoke and that all the personal property destroyed in the (lames with the deceased will go with hint. There pots are constantly boiling, filled with the choicest things to eat. They Invariably cremate their dead that Mas-zam-ho may be apicased. and tbe funeral pyre Is made ready for the corpse as soon as life Is extinct, in order that the spirit Journey to White Mountain may be accelerated. "I witnes-sed aliout 12 months ago the cremation of an Influential subchlef, whose death was deeply mourned. The funeral pvie was made near tbe temIHirary village. Just off the reservation at Port Mohave. Shortly after nightfall all the Inhabitants of the village gathered about the pyre. The body. wrapied In a gorgeous Mohave blanket, with the fringes artistically worked In beads, was carried on the shoulders of four braves from the lodge to tbe platform of Inflammable firewood. "Following the pallbearers came the women and children and near relatives. The family group crouched near the pyre. The chief of the medicine men offered first words of praise and thanks to Mat-o-we-lla for making the elements favorable to an easy passage and theu a supplication to Mas-sam-ho to receive the spirit of the departed chieftain with due honors at White Mountain. "Then the dead body was placed on the pyre, the fire was lighted, tbe crackling flames swept fiercely up about the corpse, and the spirit was on Its wny to Its eternal home on White Mountain. Friends and relatives chant ed songs of lamentation and moaned piteously while the fin Mies devoured the lxxly. At short Intervals the four pallliearers cast upon the flames personal proierty of the deceased In the ex(xctation of its going up in smoke with him to White Mountain, thereby adding to his comfort. "The mourners also contributed some of their choicest personal belongings, so that In his new and eternal borne the absent one might have about him remembrances of their affection. To the women of the Immediate family was granted the privilege of contribut ing (Kirtlons of their hair to tbe flames. After the Incineration was complete Mohave etiquette forbade the friends and relatives to eat salt or wash them selves for four days. "It Is a belief firmly fixed In the Mo have mind that all Mohaves who die and are not cremated turn Into owls. When an owl Is heard hooting at night near their village, tbey think It Is tbe spirit of some dead Mohave returned. If by chance an owl falls Into their hands, the bird Is properly cremated, in the belief that tbe wandering spirit of Its Mohave occupant will thereby be quieted and thus enabled to approach Mas-zam-ho. confident that IA petition to be allowed to enter tbe promised land ana t Hereafter rest In peace among the other good Indians of White Mountain cannot be refused. "Until very recently tbe Mohaves held yearly a mourning festival. It was the annual burning of personal property In honor of the departed members of the tribe. At the hour deemed most nronitloiis hv th mmlicln nun to both Mat-o-we-lia and to Maa-zam-ho the Mohaves. assembled In an open spot near their fillage, a high knoll usually being selected. Tbe pyre had j been prepared as though for tbe 1 tion of the dead. When the fli ere maOre was hottest, each member of the tribe con tributed to the flames some bit of per sonal property held In choice esteem. "As the thick smoke floated sky ward the mourning Indians were consoled for the loss of objects of personal adornment, apparel or of hunting Implements by their firm belief that tbe curling smoke rings were wafted straight to Mas-zam-ho. king of the de parted spirits, and that their loved ones on White Mountain were soon In possession of these proofs of their last ing love and remembrance. "Under the Influence of their agents tbe Mohaves bare abandoned the annual sacrifice to tbe dead. and. except at Needles, off the reservation. It Is not now observed." Washington Letter In New York Sun. Daactac, In the earlier ages dancing was advocated as a cure for sickness. Lycurgus brought beck from India and Egypt to Lacedaemonia notions of medico-religions dances and enacted that the Spartan youth should be brought up gracefully and symmetrically. In Greece Socrates commended dancing with a view to educating tbe mind and body, for be looked on it as a health giving device. Somebody remarks that tbey who sneer at golf know nothing about It. But it may also be said that many who know nothing atiout the game are moat enthusiastic in its praise. Boston Trsnwrint
