A Bird Without a Consciences. “I really think that an ostrich baa more brains than an Arab,” declarea Lilian Bell in the Woman's Home Com panion, when describing a visit to a» ostrich farm near Cairo. “They have the most curious agate-colored eyes—-cokn-less. cold, yet intelligent eyes. But they are the eyes of a bird without a conscience. Au ostrich looks as If he would really enjoy villainy, as If he could commit crime after crime from pure love of It and never know remorse; yet there is a fascination about the old birds and they have their good points. The father is domestic in spite of looking as if he belonged to all tbe clubs, and, much to my delight. I saw one sitting on the eggs while the mother walked out and took the air. Ostriches and Arabs do women's work with an admirable disregard of Mrs. I Grundy. Ostriches have an irresistible way of waving their lovely plumy wings, and one old fellow twenty five years old actually imitates the Dervishes. The keeper say” to him. 'Dance,* and although he Is about ten feet tall, he sits down with his legs spread out on each side of him, and Shutting his eyes, he throws his long, ugly red neck from side to side, making a curious grunting noise and waving his wings in a billowy line like a skirtOn the Mercy of the ftourt. A youthful graduate of the Harvard Law School came West and opened an office in a small frontier town. Ills first client was a man accused of stealing a horse. The case came tb trial before an old Judge and a jury composed of bewhiskered ranchers, and though there was no doubt of the guilt of the defendant, lie had a regiment of friends who swore he was forty miles off when the horse was stolen. This evidence, the prosecution was unable to break down, and the young lawyer plumed himself on a certain acquittal. The jury retired, and five minutes later was bast: In court. “Have you agreed on a verdict?” asked the judge. “We hev,” answered the foreman, as he shifted a gun he carried on his hip. “We find the defendant not guiky, an’ recommend the defendant’s lawyer, owin’ to his youth an’ innocence, to the mercy of the court.”—San Francisco Wave.

To accommodate those who are partial to the use of atomizers in applying liquids into the nasal passages for catarrhal troubles, the proprietors prepare Cream Balm in liquid form, which will be known as Ely’s Liquid Cream Balm.

, BIGGEST IN HISTORY. I RECEPTION TO DEWEY WILL BE WITHOUT PARALLEL. The Welcome to Be Accorded the Hero of Manila Bay Will Be the Greatest Ever Extended to Any Mau by This Nation. New York has been the scene of many notable demonstrations, but they will all pale into insignificance when compared with the coming celebration in honor of the return of Admiral Dewey from his victorious conquest in the far East. The welcome to be accorded the hero of Manila bay will be the greatest ever extended to any man in the history of this country. The great triumphal bomecom- । Ings of the Roman conquerors will be as nothing compared to the reception to be given this quiet American citizen, whose name is enshrined in the hearts of his fellow countrymen. The decorations will be the most elaborate that New York has ever seen or will probably see for generations to come. Every decorating establishment in the city Is overwhelmed with orders for work for the occasion. It is estimated that no less than $6,000,000 will be expended for decorations by day. Illuminations by night and festivities in general. Some firms will expend as high as SIO,OOO for decorating, while about every dwelling in all the boroughs will tie draped in the national colors or some other ornamentation. The great demand for bunting has sent the price up 20 per cent, and has kept the mills down East unusually busy turn ing out the cloth. The makers of Hags are running night and day in order to supply the demand. Dewey day wifi be a veritable Fourth

of July, if fireworks can make it so. The toy stores are clamoring for Dewey cannon, Dewey crackers ami Dewey everything else. Young America intends to celebrate a* never before, for George Dewey has no more ardent admirer than the small boy. The wholesale dealers in firecrackers now regret that they did not foresee this big demand for their goods and lay in a bigger supply, as they will apparently run short of the demand. Another branch of industry that is reaping 1 harvest through the celebration are tht lithographers and others who print and paint portraits of the admiral. Thousands and thousands of likenesses are being run off, enough, it would seem, Ml Wa ?« Mil KI THE DEWEY ARCH. to give one to every man, woman and child in New York.

Altogether Dewey day will be a I great boon for tt metrupoii-. j As Dewey makes his triumphal entry Into the city millions of tiny pieces O s : red, white and blue paper, known as conI fetti, will be showered upon him. This I feature is now to Hastern cities, but the ' custom is followed at the Mardi Gras in | New Orleans and the Venice carnivals. ; Millions of those pieces are being turned ! out and Dewey’s path bids fair to be cari peted with the beloved red, white and blue. GREEN GOODS MEN Trying to Work Their Game on Cubans and Porto Ricans. i Green goods men have broken into Gubs 1 and Porto Rico. For the past week oi ’ two these new possessions have beer 1 flooded with the alluring circulars of th< i men who wish to sell bad money for gooi “ ; to gullible citizens who hope to get rici I, without working or saving.

FIRE ON MORMONS Tennewee Mob Attacks Meeting Place and Kills a Younir Woman. i Wednesday night six Mormon elders were conducting a meeting in a school house at Fine Bluff, Stewart County, Tenn., when the building was stormed . by a mob of over ItM) men. Eggs and ’ rocks were thrown through the windows. ' Those present fled in a panic to save 1 their lives, as bullets commenced to strike the building thick and fast. Elders Hiram Olson and 11. C. Petty left the build- ■ ing to escape. Miss May Harden, a popular young woman of the place, walked i between the elders with a view of checkj ing the work of the mob. While the ! trio passed down the road shots were lired from ambush. The woman was hit ■ and almost instantly killed. Her brothers i secured bloodhounds and placed them on I the trail of the assassins. Barton Vinson, ! a prominent young farmer and superin- : tendent of a Sunday school, was lying in wait tor the elders and the girl’s broth- : ers became convinced he had fired the shot which killed their sister. Vinson wrote out a confession, stating he had killed the girl, but that it was an accident. Shortly after the confession the bloodhounds trailed to his home and were called off to prevent their tearing the man to pieces. Vinson turned, picked up a knife and cut his throat. His family and the officers’ posse witnessed the suicide. FEVER AT NEW ORLEANS. Yellow Jock Cannes Hout hern Citiee to 1 atablish a Quarantine. The Texas State health department Friday night received information of one death from yellow fever at New Orleans. State Health Officer Blunt at once ordered a rigid quarantine against New Orleans on passenger nnd freight business, to continue indefinitely, and all border stations were notified to refuse ad-

mission to any person or freight from that port. Owing to one death by yellow fever in New Orleans and tw > other ease* declared there. Mobile city authorities proe’almed a quarantine against persons, baggage and freight from Now Orleans entering Mobile County. Quarantine also p ocininuai against Key West, lowing to the yellow fever at Key West, the Navy Department has decided to withdraw the force at the naval station there. The army garrison will go to Fort McPherson, Ga. The Indiana State IL ord of Health received a report of the death of a man in Knox County from yellow fever. The man had lately returned from Cuba. The case is pronounced certainly yellow fever, the patient having all the symptoms, even to turning yellow and having the black vomit. Doctors say there would be ! no danger whatever of the spread of yelI low fever in this latitude if the disease । were introduced. WORLD SHORT OF WHEAT. ! Hunsarian Ministry Says the Demand AV ill Kxceed the Supply. Ihe 11 ■ ’ has issued its annual estimates of the world's harvest. This points to a considerable deficiency. While the stocks remaining from last year are much smaller than was generally supposed, the wiieat yield is 110,000,000 hectoliters below last year's yield and about 34,000,000 short of the entire world's demand. The estimated yield of rye is 5.1 >OO,IIOO less than that of hist year, of barley 23,1000,000 less and of oat- 35,000,000 less, j The total deficiency in all cereals is about ' 97.000,000 hectoliters.
