TO DEMAND THAT ' SULTAN PAY UP . i i t

American Minister Will Make Visit to Morocco to See "Royal Deadbeat." IEMANDS OF UNCLE SAM IF AMERICAN MINISTER SUCCEEDS IN GETTING JUSTICE FOR HIS COUNTRYMEN HE WILL RECEIVE THANKS. Tangier, Sept. 18. There Is a tendency to underestimate the importance of the American mission to Fez. Minister Gummere will not. only present his credentials but also will lay before the sultan his government's views of the existing state of anarchy in Morocco and demand the payment of American claims and punishment for offenses against American cit-ft izens. The mashzen also will doubt less be reminded of the sultan's prom ise to speedily punish Raisuli for the seizure and detention of Perdicaris. The position of America render her action in these matters easier than in the case of European powers the hands of whose representatives are tied by the political situation in Europe. America's relations with Mo rocco outside the Algeciras protocol are clearly denned by treaty and the sultan's intrigues with other powers will certainly not be accepted as an excuse for the infringement of these treaty rights. Only by firm action can the sultan and maghzen be made to realize the real position and respon sibility. If the American minister, sue ceeds in bringing about this he will deserve the thanks and congratula tlons of all foreigners, who at present are suffering from the Incapacity and arrogance of existing regime at Fez Attack On Europeans. Tangier, Sept. 18. Cherif Taelainein, with 250 men, entered Casa Blanca, pillaged the French iron works and pursued Europeans through the streets, wounding several of them After terrorizing the town for two hours Taelainein was induced by the governor to leave, the governor hav ing been reluctantly forced to act by foreign consuls' indignant protests. rm.tm tl l Russians Attack Japanese Poachers.

Six fish ing-vessels from Nigata, Rakata and Hakodate, Japan, were fishing when a party of Russians seized the vessela on the charge of poaching. Susuki, an interpreter, drew a sword and killed a Russian sublieutenant. A melee ensued and 19 other Russians and about adozen Japanese were killed before the Japanese got their vessels away. Another report tells of the firing on the Japanese fishing boat3 by the forts of Vladivostok. The action was due to the fact that the Japanese wore sketching fortifications and sounding. Regulation of Terrorist Activity. St. Petersburg, Sept. IS. Disheartened at the capture of the principal leaders, of whom Vladimir Mazuri and a number of others have been execut ed, the "flying group" of the revolutionists, which seceded from the parent organization last winter, and which has been responsible for almost all the important assassinations and robberies since the convocation of parliament, has voted to return to the fold and submit to the orders of the central committee. This step means a certain regulation' terroristic activity, because s&n Cjiis which formerly were passeV?JeirPI'-it into execution by this irresc "f4ible little group of scarcely 100 men hereafter will have to be approved by the central commit te. - Ancient Wtndom.

THE HALL OF FAME.

George . Cabot Lodge, Egyptologist, poet and student. Is his father's private secretary In the United States senate. The present chief of police of San Francisco, Jeremiah Dinan, was born tn Boston and went to San Francisco In 1S70. Sergeant Horatio J. Homer is the only colored man in the Boston police department, where he has been since 1878. He Is proficient on eleven different musical instruments. Chaplain Rev. Francis Doherty of the Seventeenth United States infantry, stationed at Fort McPherson, edits af little paper called the Haversack, which is widely read among soldiers and is frequently copied. Major General Frederick Dent Grant, commander of the eastern division of the United States army, has asked the International committee of the Young Men's Christian association to place its branches In every post under his command. Sheriff William P. nays of Hamilton county, Tenn., says he has more sons without having other kind of childrea than any man in the country. Nine lusty youngsters are in this interesting family, and their ages range from six months to eighteen years. Few presiding officers of the senate have been as popular as Vice President Fairbanks with the officials of the 6enate. He has co-operated with them so as to expedite the business of the senate, and that Is an important mat ter to the clerks, who desire to have the business closed up every day. William C. Brown, first vice presi dent of the New York Central lines, with a salary of $75,000, the best paid vice president of a railroad in the United States, was In the early seven ties a telegraph operator and messen ger boy In Sioux City, la., receiving messages and delivering them himself. David C. St. Charles, an engineer of Ban Francisco, has Invented a repeater which will make It possible to tele phone clear across the continent. What the so called "repeater" has done for telegraphy St. Charles' invention, it is now claimed, has done for the telephone. The combining of the echo In nature with the sounding board of a violin furnished the clew to the dis covery. Doctor and Medicine When a doctor does not have meet faith, in, medicine If is a sign that he fa a good doctor. ' The best doctors are those who give gocx advice rather than medicine; advice that is simple and has common sense back of it.

A good character is the best tombatone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forgetmenots are withered. Carve your name on hearts and not on marble. Earache. In case of earache do not put any thing into the ear except by direction of a physician. The best way to re lieve earache is to heat an iron or brick. wrap It in two or three thicknesses of flannel, pour warm water on the top, when steam will at once rise. If the ear is placed close to the flannel the steam will permeate every part of it. A Japanese Punishment. In Japan it is the custom to punish an unruly child by burning holes in its akin with an Instrument callod the moxa" or "mogusa." ' The Drama of the Srniiei We never tire of the drama of sun set. I go forth each afternoon and look Into the west a quarter of an hour before sunset with fresh curiosity to see what new picture will be painted there, what new phenomenon exhibited, what new dissolving views. Every day a new picture is painted and framed held up for half an hour In such lights as the great artist chooses and then withdrawn and the curtain falls. The sun goes down, long the afterglow gives light, the damask curtains glow along the western window, the first star Is lit, and I go home. From Tboreau's "Winter." Power of Words.

London, and he says it has been the best recruitings ground for his church. Rev. William Drury Shea of Atlanta, Ga., who was present at the wedding of President Roosevelt's mother, has just died. He was one of the oldest and best known ministers of the Meth odist church in the south. The Rev. Henry Wunder, pastor of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran church of Chicago, has just concluded fiftyfour years as pastor of that church. which is a longer time than any other Chicago minister has been connected with a congregation. Rev. J. Sanders Reed, rector of Trin ity church, Watertown, X. Y., is con sidered one of the greatest scholars and preachers in the Anglican communion.

When the mother, proud of her sons and moved by 'the plaudits of the crowd, had prayed to Hera that her sons might receive the. best gifts the gods had to bestow, they lay down In the shade of the temple and never waked. Herodotus says that their statues were sent to Delphi. Homolle found at Delphi two statues practically identical, of finest archaic work, made early in the sixth century B. C. Since one of them bore the signature of an Argive sculptor, Polymedes, In archaic etters, we may believe that the story of Herodotus is based on fact and that we have before us today the identical statues.

The old Republican party, founded by Thomas Jeffersou, had Its most vigorous life during the twenty-four years while JefTerpon, Madison and Monroe were in the White House. During these years, it completely annihilated its opponent, the old Federalist party, which was the predecessor of the present Republican party. John Quiney Adams, the sixth president of the United States, who bad a leaning to Federalism, was elected by the bouse of representatives (none of the candidates having a majority of the electoral vote) as a national Republican, and when Jackson came In four years later it was as a. Democratic Republican. It was during his time that the latter halt of the name was dropped, and the party of Jcffersoa took the name of the Democratic party.

Afterward it was called the St. Roque, but when it was discovered by Robert Gray in 1792 It was given the name of his vessel, the Columbia, In place of the two floating appellations, Oregon and St. Roque. According to Whitney, the original name of the river was the Orejon, ''big ear" or "one that has big ears." the allusion being to the custom of the Indians who were found in It? region of stretching their ears by boring them and crowding them with ornaments.
