SENATOR GEORGE GRAY.

Appointed as the Fifth Member of the Peace Commission. Senator George Gray of Delaware, who has been appointed the fifth member of the peace commission, completes that body, which is now ready to begin its work. The personnel of the commission

is thus: Secretary Day, Senators Davis, Frye and Gray, and Whitelaw Reid. Senator Gray is one of the landmarks of the upper house and a prominent man in the public life of his country. He went to the Senate by appointment on the retirement of Thomas Francis Bayard when that statesman was made Secretary of State in Mr. Cleveland's first cabinet. He has occupied a seat in the Senate ever since*then.

WHERE IS GERALD LAPINER?

An Abducted Chicago Boy for Whose Return $12,500 Is Offered. Chicago is deeply interested in a strange abduction ease that rivals the kidnaping of Charley Ross. Three months ago Gerald Lapiner, 2% years old, disappeared from the home of his parents, 4835 Prairie avenue, and in spite»of the most diligent search no clew of him has yet been found. A reward of $12,500 has been offered for any trace of the boy and this large sum has led the police and others to make strenuous efforts to locate him, but they bave proved futile. The child was playing in front of the father’s home when a strange woman came along and

invited him to go with her. He look her hand trustingly, trotted away and has not since been seen. The abduction was witnessed by but one person, a little girl playmate of Gerald’s living across the street. She saw the missing lad go away with the woman, but thought nothing of it until it became known that the child was stolen. Two other people saw the woman and child together, but did not know it was a case of abduction. The motive for the kidnaping has proven a puzzle to the police. The whole city has been scoured by searching parties, also the surrounding territory, and the police of other cities and towns have been notified to l>e on the lookout for the lad. The shock has so unnerved Mrs. Lapiner that it is thought she will not survive long.

Miles’ Elastic Army Plan.

Gen. Miles says that the nrmy should be reorganized on the basis of one soldier to every certain number of inhabitants. He thinks that one soldier to every 1,000 population would be found to be about the right ratio for a standard, and that the army, his standard being adopted, would increase according to the recognized needs of the government in an exact ratio to the increase of the population. Indians fired upon a boat on the Yukon river, in Alaska, and killed one prospector and wounded another.

HOME AGAIN.

THE TERRITORY OF HAWAII.

Annexation Committee Decides on a Form of Government and a Name. It will be the “Territory of Hawaii.” That is the name which the annexation committee has decided to recommend to Congress, The forur of the government will be modeled on that of existing territories. Local self government will be given through the extension of the municipal idea. The islands will fye divided into municipal districts having control, under restrictions and limitations, of purely local affairs. Hawaii may be divided into two districts and Molokai, Lenai and Niyhan may be attached to some other municipal district. The question of territorial legislature has not been fully settled. There will probably be one, but with limited powers. All the "attributes of sovereignty, however, will be exercised by the national government of the United States. The people of Hawaii will be called on to consider themselves Americans, looking to the national government as the source of national power.

DEATH IN BIG FIRES.

Westminster, B. C., ami Jerome, Arizona, Are Destroyed. New Westminster, B. C., and Jerome, Ariz., have been almost literally wiped off the map, by fire. The loss to property at New Westminster is estimated at $2,500,000. The number of lives lost is not known. Fanned by a fierce wind, almost a gale, the fire, which started on the water side by sparks from a passing steamer, spread with such awful rapidity that ten streets were blazing in three hours and only smoking ashes mark the spots where scores of houses formerly stood. Handsome blocks, banks and churches went up in smoke. Hundreds of people nro helpless and homeless. Food, clothing and aid were dispatched from Vancouver. At Jerome the fire was started by Italians on a drunken carousal. Loss to property is estimated at $1,000,000. Eleven bodies were quickly recovered from the ruins, and thirty more are believed to have been cremated. A high wind was blowing and the flames spread rapidly. The fire did not get beyond the business section of the town. Hundreds of people are homeless. One hundred and fifty residences, thirty merchandise stores and many saloons are burned.

Keep Away from Klondike.

According to Consul McCook nt Dawson City the output of gold from the Klondike diggings has been exaggerated fivefold. He advises that no one should attempt to enter the gold fields without a couple of thousand dollars besides supplies for two years. Destitution is imminent. he says, for many prospector* who have exhausted their resources and cannot get away. Provisions cost 25 per cent more even than last year, and lodgings can hardly be secured at any price. A Preston, Minn., special says that M. R. Todd, the cashier who wrecked the Fillmore County Bank, has confessed the theft of all tiie bank's deposit funds to M. T. Grattan, one of his bondsmen. Grattan told Todd that a lynching waa imminent unless he made a full confession. For participating in the riots last May, Slg. Feschetti, member of the Chamber of Deputies at Florence, Italy, has been sentenced by a military tribunal to ten years’ solitary confinement, and has been excluded from holding otfice for the remainder of his life.

Three months ago he returned from a private sanitarium at Flint, Mich., where he had been treated chiefly for mental weakness. He was then so much improved in mental health that he was able to recognize acquaintances. He recalled his weak p h y s ic al condition and his failing men-

HANDSOME PICTURES.

Four Plaques of American Game 'With* in the Reach of All. Probably at no time in the world’s history has as much attention been paid to the interior decoration of homes as at present. No home, no matter how humble, is without its handiwork that helps to beautify the apartments and make the surroundings more cheerful. The taste of the American people has kept pace with the age, and almost every day brings forth something new in the way of a picture, a draping, a piece of furniture or other form of mural decoration. One of the latest of these has been given to the world by the celebrated artist, Muville, in a series of four handsome porcelain game plaques. . Not for years has anything as handsome in this line been seen. The subjects represehted by these plaques are American wild ducks, American pheasants, American quail and English snipe. They are handsome paintings and are especially designed for hanging on dining room walls, though their richness and beauty entitles them to a place in the parlor of any home. These original plaques have been purchased at a cost of |SO,(XX) by J. C. Hubinger Bros. Co., manufacturers of the celebrated Elastic Starch, and in order to enable their numerous customers to become possessors of these handsome works of art they have had them reproduced by a special process, in all the rich colors and beauty of the original. They are finished on heavy curdboard, pressed and embossed in the shape of a plaque and' trimmed wifli a heavy band of gold. They measure forty inches in circumference and contain no reading matter or advertisement whatever. Until Oct. 1 Messrs. J. 0. Hubinger Bros. Co. propose to distribute these plaques free to their customers. Every purchaser of three ten-eent packages of Elastic Starch, flatiron brand, manufactured by'J. C. Hubinger Bros. Co., is entitled to receive one of these handsome plaques free from their grocer. Old and new customers alike are entitled to the benefits of this offer. These plaques will not be sent through the mail, the only way to obtain them being from your grocer. Every grocery store in the country has Elastic Starch for sale. It is the oldest and best laundry starch on the market and is the most perfect cold process stnrch ever invented. It is the only starch made by men who thoroughly understand the laundry business, and the only starch that will not injure the finest fabric. It has been the standard for a quarter of a century and as an evidence of how good it is twenty-two million packages were sold last year. Ask your dealer to show you the plaques and tell you about Elastic Starch. Accept no substitute. Bear in mind that this offer holds good a short time only and should be taken advantage of without delay.

The Czar as an Athlete.

The Czar, In spite of his insignificant physique, Is no mean athlete, and is a firm believer in all healthy exercise. Every morning, as soon as it is light, he runs a verst (about five furlongs) at a good speed, usually timing himself by a watch he carries In his hand. His average time for this distance Is a shade under three minutes—by no means a bad performance. He is a keen cyclist, and is seldom happier than when he is astride his favorite bicycle with a rook-rifle in his hand. He prides (himself on being able to bring down three rooks out of seven while riding at a good pace.
