"Mrs. Thaw left town yesterday to epend a few days' 'vacation with a relative." said Mr. O'Reilly. "She is within easy call of this city. Mrs. Thaw has been subjected to a great deal of annoyance through the endeavors of hotel managers to gain publicity at her expense. Khe was invited to take a suite of rooms in the Prince George Hotel, and the action of Manager Dick In ordering her to leave last night may also be aired in the counts."

GIRLS ROUND WORLD Will Follow in the Wake Great Battle Fleet. of SAIL ON MAIL STEAMER. Omaha, Neb., April 1. A spirit of eriventure has prompted Miss Ixmise McPherson and Miss Marie McShane, two Omaha society girls, to follow the Vattleship fleet on its cruise around the world. Desiring to be present at every port the fleet visits and mingle with the fleets company made it necessary for the girls to secure permission from Uncle Sam. Miss McPherson is a cousin of Captain Rumsey Stanford, paymaster on the cruiser New York, and it was through his efforts the desired permission was secured. They sail on a mail steamer in June and meet the fleet at Honolulu, following which they will continue in the wake of the great squadron until it again touches the Atlantic shores. The Misses McPherson and McShane will lie accompanied on the voyage to the Orient by Mrs. Captain Sanford. ATTEMPT TO SAVE F Alexandria Man Took a From Grace. . Fall Alexandria, Ind., April 4. Business and professional men of this place are Joined in the effort to save Charles Russell from a term in the state prison. Russell has confessed to the theft of a diamond stick pin. revolver and money from the home of a local saloon keeper. Russell formerly was one of the highest respected men in the town. He handles the money for the Delaware-Madison Telephone company and never has permitted a penny to go Hstray, so far as is known. Local friends are unable to understand the fall from grace of a man of such impeachable reputation. Captain Puts cn His Red Necktie. No matter how small the vessel or how impecunious may be the skipper, there is always a "boiled" shirt and a clean collar laid carefully away to be worn when the craft enters port. At sea the captain may be very rough in his attire, but the approach to land finds him combing his hair and cropping his whiskers. If he has any. and the collar is douued. also a red necktie, which usually Is flamboyant red. Even the iooret men who bring reseels to Boston to secure loads of lumber for South American ports dress as fieatly as possible when the customs boarding officer Is expected to come alongside to inspect the ship's papers. And the mates slick up, too, when their floating home is nearlng port, so that the "old man," as the captain is familiarly termed behind his back, may not carry off all the honors of the occasion.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot roach the diseased portion of the car. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining' of the Kustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbllriK sound or imperfect hearing, and when It Is entirely closed. Deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can bo taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearins' will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

PATHETIC APPEAL FOR LOCAL PASTOR

tRishnn Rprrv Rrniinht Hnntpr. ence to Tears in Speech For Harrison. TWO MINISTERS PENSIONED CONDITION OF E. E. NEAL, FORMER RICHMOND PASTOR WAS TOUCHED UPON AND SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS RAISED. Anderson, Ind., April 4. Appealing for assistance to the Rev. O. S. Harrison, who has been pastor of. the Third M. E. church at Richmond, yesterday, Bishop Berry brought the large audience in attendance at the Northern Indiana conference to tears. Even deeper feeling was expressed when attention was called to the hopeless condition of the Rev. E. E. Neal, of Elwood, a former pastor of the First church at Richmond. Both of these workers in behalf of Methodism were rensioned. The Rev. Mr. Harrison is net old enough to be superannuated, but his years of service have won nerthy recognition and reward. Bishop Berry opened the discussion on the case of the Rev. Mr. Harrison with a beautifully pathetic appeal in which he described the illness of the pastor at Richmond and his wife. He is a young man but is absolutely too weak and worn out from continued illness to continue in the ministry. The bishop's appeal brought a very sad spirit over the entire audience and many- shed tears. The unfortunate ministers were voted a pension unanimously. Probably the saddest feature of the conference carne when the case of the Rev. E. E. Neal of Elwood came up for consideration. Rev. Neal has been seriously ill for the past five months and is now on the verge of death. His brother who is also a pastor was in the audience and repeated with a sobbing voice the message of greeting which his ill brother had told him to give the conference. He said that the message had been given in only a whispering tone and that it would probably be his last communication with his brethren before departing for the home beyond. Rev. Neal's speech brought tears to the eyes of the good bishop, the brethren and in fact every attendant at the meeting. A collection was taken up and several hundred dollars turned over to the secretary for the immediate relief of the Rev. Neal. Rev. Neal is one of the leading ministers in the Northern Indiana conference and was pastor at the First church there. ANIMAL& IJM CUBA. Game In Plenty and One Specie f Semi-domesticated Snake. Throughout Cuba game is abundant. Deer, though not native, have flourished and multiplied greatly. Rabbits are plentiful; also the wild boar, so called, the wild pig, the wild dog and the -wild cat of the island. Wild fowl, especially ducks and pigeou, abound, ! the former crossing from the southern states during the winter season, while the latter remain on the Island the year round. Pheasants, quail, snipe, wild turkeys and wild guinea fowl are also numerous, with several varieties of game birds, such as the perdiz, tojosas, rabiches and the guanaros. The only distinctive native animal is the jutia or hutta ratlike in appearance and black. It grows to a length of sixteen or eighteen inches, not including the tail. While eatable, it is not especially palatable. Cuba has more than 200 species of native birds, including those already mentioned as game birds, many possessing the most beautiful plumage, but those with song are rare. In swampy localities crocodiles and American alligators caimans are found, and, although these frequently grow to an enormous size, but little) attention Is paid to them by the native?. Chameleons, small lizards, tree toads and similar harmless Silurians of diminutive size are very common, while occasionally the iguana and other large varieties of the lizard species are seen. Few varieties of snakes exist in Cuba. One of these, the maja, from ten to fourteen feet in length, is a semi-domesticated reptile, if such a term may be used, for it is most frequently found about the huts, farmhouses and small villages, its favorite living place being in the palm thatches of the old buildings, while its favorite food is poultry. Another snake, named the Jubo, Is more vicious in disposition than the maja, although never reaching more than one-third its size. It is not poisonous. The other varieties are still smaller in size, are seldom seen and not. renmous. Havana Tost. MINISTER ELOPER IS AT LAST Was Luring With One of His Pretty Parishioners. Nashville, Tenn., April 4.

Miss Templeton was on of Fulkersons prettiest parishioners. She is still in her teeu.

NEGRO NEEDS AN EDUCATIONSAYS BOOKER Not Only Those of Color, But Whites Also Suffer.

Chicago, April 4. Educational needs of the negro in the South were described by Booker T. Washington at an open meeting held here last night , for the advancement of the colored i race. Mr. Washington declared that) education as a force for the uplifting ! of the negro had not been given a suf- j ficient test to warrant judgment as to; its efficiency. Not only has the negro child suffered for education, but the white child has been a sufferer in almost an equal degree. No section of our country is making as great a struggle as the South, but notwithstanding this fact it still remains that a large proportion of the negro children are without educational opportunities."

The sentence was imposed br Judge Alexander after a day spent by attorneys for the defense arguing for a new trial. CHICAGO AND GREAT WESTERN LEADS Will No Longer Heed Law Prohibiting Increase in Certain Rates. Chicago, April 4 The Chicago Great Western has decided to be no longer bound by a rule of the Western trunk line committee, in effect since March 1st, and prohibiting the advance of cartage, drayage or trans portation charges to shippers, or con signees, except for service performed in transferring traffic regularly inter changed between the depots of the various railroads and warehouses of steamship companies. As a result of this the trans-Missouri lines have agreed not to enforce the rule for the time being, and the whole matter will be taken up in the committee.

For Instanoe, the "Groan That Gurglee From the Slain." Macaulay once reviewed a poem in which a climax of absurdity was reach ed with this line: And hear'at each groan that gurgles from the slain. The poetic license which lets a groan gurgle from a slain man is capable of letting bim walk into town from the field of battle, collect the amount of his life insurance policy and hand it to his widow. It brings to mind the heroic warrior of whom it is said that "thrice he slew the slain" and the Irish ' member of parliament who convulsed ' the house of commons by exclaiming , that he would die as a soldier first and ; a man afterward. I But. strange to say, Macanlay himself ! has made a similar blunder. In his "Battle of Lake Ragillus" the followi ing lines occur: The ehoutlng of the slayers And acreeehlng of the slain. Did these writers make these slips In the heat of battle or were they testing the Intellectual acuteness of their readers? There Is a story of a German schoolmaster who used to call out his class in history and begin to tell them of the Thirty Years' war. "Yes, children," he would say, "this is a subject in which I am especially interested, as my grandfather often told me about It. He was a well to do innkeeper, and one day as he was standing in his doorway a moanted soldier came galloping up at a furious rate. 'What's the matter?" asked my grandfather. 'Matter enough,' answered the dragoon. 'Don't you know that the Thirty Years' war has begun today?'" At this point the ancient pedagogue would pause and survey his class. Then a smile would overspread his rubicund countenance If a hand was raised and a boyish treble asked how the dragoon knew the war would last thirty years. Perhaps our poets, too, would play the schoolmaster and smile If we should ask them bow It is possible for the slain to groau or screech. George Seibel in Pittsburg Gaxette-Times.

PITIES THE RICK

Chancellor Day's Heart Burns When They Are Attacked. BELIEVES IN UNIONS ALSO. New York, April 4. "My heart burns as I hear the rich brought into contempt." said Rev. Dr. James R. Day. chancellor of the Syracuse university, speaking last night to a gathering of the New York conference in St. James Methodist church. Madison avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street. "I believe in labor unions." said Dr. Day. "There is no one of us here who has not worked with his hands. I know the laboring man. and he is the noblest man upon earth. But I would not like to have the labor unions say who shall or shall not work, or post the unfair sign upon my university. I believe in arbitration, but not in rioting. I would not take the labor leader, as a labor leader, into the church unless it was to lead a class meeting. "On the other hand. I would not abuse the rich. The rich are not to be made an ostracised class. 1 feel sorry that they are. Jesus scorned some rioh men, but He praised others, the men who gave to Christian service. "Probably lk per cent of the men who lead in the railways; in the cor porate industries of the country, are in the churches, and are Christian men.

The effort on the part of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association to obtain legislation by Congress, -putting print paper and wood pulp on the free list has been blocked by the ways and means committee of the house, which has refused to give them a hearing. The reason assigned by the chairman of the committee for its refusal is unwillingness to add to the uncertainty and disquiet always caused by a Presidential election by entering upon a revision of the tariff.
