A railroad President is authority for the statement that lines are paid mileage, without discrimination, and the question of excessive charges is a matter for the shipper to settle with the car lines, so long as there is no law to govern their rates. Car mileage paying has been dei cided to be as legal as the payment of rental for property. A Hutch Fen ant.

"My little girl had been suffering for two years from eczema, and during that time I could not get a night's sleep, as her ailment was very severe.

The proverbs of a nation are the distilled wit of generations of its people; and tte true wit of the race is oftentimes in proportion to the truth and beauty of its proverbs. Few nations, and few languages possess more beautiful sayings than the Irish. "The silent mourn is meioaious, is an msn apnorIsm pregnant with beauty and poetry. Ad(1 another saying, incalculating a charity which is spiritually needed in ibis modern world of ours, is tbat which tells us "Our eyes should be ' blind in the abode of another." Tbe beautiful faith and the magnificent optimism of the Irish race is well pictured in their proverb, "God never ihuts one door but He opens two." "Autumn days come softly, quickly, ' like the running of a hound upon a moor," is poetic, vivid truth.

A great many people go on suffering from annoying ailments for a long time before they can get their own consent to give up the indulgence from which their trouble arises. A gentleman in Brooklyn describes his experience, as follows: "I became satisfied some months ago that I owed the palpitation of the heart, from which I suffered almost daily, to the use of coffee (I had been a coffee drinker for 30 years), but I found it very hard to give up the beverage. "I realized that I must give up the harmful indulgence in coffee, but I felt the necessity for a hot table drink, and as tea is not to my liking, I was at a loss for awhile, what to do. "One day I ran across a very sensible and straightforward presentation of the claims of Postum Food Coffee, and was so impressed thereby that I concluded to give it a trial. My experience with it was unsatisfactory till I learned how it ought to be prepared?by thorough boiling for not less than 15 or 20 minutes. After I learned that lesson toao %\r\ Pftctum nitric ??ao ijv uvuw4*.. j. woiutu wu Coffee proved to be a most palatable and satisfactory hot beverage, and I bave used it ever since. "The effect on my health has been most salutary. It has completely cured the heart palpitation from which I used to suffer so much, particularly after breakfast, and I never have a return of it except when I dine or lunch away from home and am compelled to drink the old kind of coffee because Postum is not served. I find tbat Postum Food Coffee cheers and invigorates while it produces no harmful stimulation." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

The business section suffered little damage. The Swedish, Luther and Methodist Churches, the Opera House block, and dozens of residences are in ruins. The tornado came from the south and made a clean sweep of IOC yards through the town. Sleeping families were caught up in the whirlwind without a moment's warning. A heavy rainstorm preceded the tornado. Marquette, in McPherson County, has 1500 inhabitants. It is the exact centre of Kansas, and in the richest farming country in the State. When the missing in Marquette had been accounted for. the searchers directed their attention to the surrounding country. Soon half a dozen wagonloads of dead and injured had been brought in from the district to the south. There were many narrow escapes.

Colorado Springs, Col.?Thrown into a frenzy of fright when informed she would have to submit to a slight surgical operation, Miss Susie Hesrin, a pretty High School graduate, who was i popular in the younger social set, died from cerebral hemorrhage. For hours three physicians worked unremittingly to relieve her from the hysteria and convulsions which followed the information that she would have.to go un: der the knife. They even resorted in the last extremity to artificial respiration. but after hours of agony the young' girl died. \Tics Worrin who was nineteen years old. lived with her mother in No. 314 East Monument street. Her friends believed she was in perfect health. There was nothing in her condition to cause uneasiness to Mrs. Herrin until she noticed that her daughter seemed nervous. "I'll send for the doctor," she said. "But I don't want the doctor," insisted the high-strung girl, who bel came even more nervous when her mother persisted in her purpose. The family physician arrived in the course of an hour. He found Miss Herrin nervous and unduly excited, but made | light of her condition. "A slight operation will be necesj sary," he said. j Miss Herrin screamed a violent pro* 1/tesr.

Richmond, Va.?With three bullets * lodged in his breast and his life blood 1 flowing from the wounds which had been inflicted after he had murdered his devoted wife. Frederick W. Hill, a ; well-to-do merchant, made frantic ef. forts to kill his eight children before t he died himself. That the crazed man did not succeed ! was because he had sent three of the > six bullets into the lungs and heart of i his wife and the other three into him[ self. But in his fury he snapped the weapon time and again at the Jittle children, who stood in a group, with blanched faces and streaming eyes. I looking alternately at the body of their i dead mother on the floor and at their father, from whose breast jets of blood were spurting toward them. That Hill lived an instant after in flicting the wounds upon himself is a mystery to surgeons who have exam1 ined his body and followed the courses ? of the bullets. Until an instant before he fell and died the murderous-minded 1 maniac did his utmost to wipe out his entire family. Hill had been in ill health for several months, but his home life was happy and he seemed to be a devoted husband ; and father. Recently he became morose and manifested signs of insanity. Insomnia aggravated his mental disorder. He was especially restless that night, and insisted upon keeping his wife and the children awake. Toward ' morning he became more composed, and the children went to sleep. His wife, however, remained up to nurse : him. Just before daylight she decided to give to her husband a sleeping potion. While she was preparing the medicine and had her back to him Hill quietly opened the bureau drawer and took out a 38-calibre revolver. Without a . word of warning he fired as she turned toward him medicine in hand. Three bullets entered her body. Two pierced her lungs and the third her heart. ; With a scream she sank to the floor lifeless. The eight children were in adjoining rooms. Aroused by the sound of the shots they rushed into the room where the murder had been committed. Tiieir father, his face distorted by fury, stood in the middle of the room with the muzzle of the weapon pointing at his breast. Before any of the youngsters could raise a cry there were three loud reports. Hill staggered, but did not fall. Then he turned the pistol on the eight children, and snapped the hammer until he dropped lifeless beside his murdered wife. College Snlolde or Harder. New Haven, Conn.?Intense excitement has been created among the faculty and students in Yale by the mysterious death of Arthur Haserot, a Yale senior, son of a Cleveland millionaire, whose body was found in his room in Welch Hall, one of the campus dormitories, with a bullet hole in the right temple. The closest investigation has shown that there was no reason why the young man should kill himself, yet it was said the authorities inclined to this belief. A revolver with woo, frtti r?r1 in fhA Ullt? JUCil >T CXO LUUUU iU room. Haserot was one of the most popular students in Yale. He was studious and took an active part in athletics. He was favored of the student body because of his frequent and costly entertainments. He was a leader in the social doings of the students, and many times in the last winter he was a guest in the most exclusive circles in New York City. Every effort was made to hush up the details of the case. After the body had been viewed by the medical examiner it was quietly removed to an undertaker's place, and further than the fact that the young man was found dead nothing official has been given out. The body was found by Roy W. Hemingway, of Syracuse, N. Y. He was Haserot's roommate. Hemingway said that his chum attended his first recitation as usual and seemed to be in his usual good spirits. He had never intimated even that he was despondent, and in all their acquaintance Hemingway said he had not heard the young man talk of suicide. Hemingway, while reluctant to think the youth was murdered, averred that the indications pointed to a crime. PLAYERS ELECT JOHN DREW. Succeeds Joseph Jefferson?Is Third President of Club.
