The Empress -was to visit a ship on ;which Birileff served. As Her Majesty descended to the cabin a huge boquet of flowers mysteriously appeared on the table, and delighted royalty at once took possession of it.

The "dower chest" as a gift for the newly betrothed bride is growing iu favor and antique shops in the country are being searched for the old carved chests of Virginia and Massachusetts pioneers. Some persons with money to spare are sending agents to Europe to find the real antiques, such as figure In historical pictures. The dower chest or carved oaK. witn massive oanas or brass, would be loved by every prospective bride. Some chests are of generous proportions, and if they are filled .with rare embroidered silks, cashmeres and fine linens, as was the old custom, tfieir value will be enhanced very materially in the bride's eyes. It may be significant, or it may not, but among the gifts that the Empress of China gave to Miss Roosevelt was a chest of scented wood, carved with dragons and other emblems and bound with hammered brass. OVER SEA HABIT Difference on This Side the Water. The persistent effect upon the heart of caffeine in coffee cannot but result In the gravest conditions, in time. Each attack of the drug (and that means each cup of coffee) weakens the argans a little more, and the end is almost a matter of mathematical demonstration, A lady writes from a Western State: "I am-of German descent and it was oatural that I should learn at a very early age to drink coffee. Until I was twenty-three years old I drank scarcely [ anything else at my meals, p- "A few years ago I began to be afi !ected by a steadily increasing nervous oess, which eventually developed iuto ft distressing heart trouble that made 'f- me very weak and miserable. Then, ?vV some three years ago, was added asthma In its worst form. My sufferings from these things can be better imagined than described. "During nil this time my husband realized more fully than I did that coffee was injurious to me, and made every effort to make me stop. "Finally it was decided a few months ago, to quit the use of coffee absolutely, and to adopt Postum Food Coffee as .. . our hot table drink. I had but little f idea that it would help me, but consented to try it to please my husband. C prepared it very carefully, exactly according to directions, and was delighted with its delicious flavor and refreshing qualities. "Just so soon as the poison from the joffee had time to get out of my system the nutritive properties of the Postum began to build me up, and I am now fully recovered from all my nervousaess, heart trouble and asthma.x I glad, ly acknowledge that now, for the first h timo in vpurs.

Mont.?Forty Cars Scattered Over the Prairie ? The Known l)eail. Helena. Mont?The most disastrous railroad wreck that has taken place iu the vicinity of Helena for many years occurred shortly before midnight, two and a half miles west of Helena. A runaway Northern Pacific freight train crashed into a passenger train on the same liue, wrecked it completely, set fire to it. and up to 3 o'clock in the morning four persons, whose identity is assured, were known to be dead. The known dead are: J. N. Robinson. Missoula. Charles Brickie, passenger conductor. J. A. Jessup. express messenger. Foster Senegal, merchant, of Elliston. Brakeman Edward Brown was seriously injured, but an examination showed not fatally. Many of the passengers who escaped with their lives were injured. The passenger train passed through Austin, about eight miles west of Helena, on time. Following it was a Jong freight train made up of box and flat cars loaded with lumber and shingles. At Austin the engine was uncoupled from the freight to take water and the train was left standing on the track. There is a steep grade east of Austin, and b}* some means the freight train got started down the hill. The passenger train when it arrived at the Montana Central crossing stopped, when the engine driver heard a sound behind him that warned hiru of danger. He started his train, but it had gone but a few feet when the freight crashed into the rear car. There were but two cars in the train, and they were smashed and thrown into the ditch.' The engine became uncoupled, but did not leave the track, and Engine Driver Pelty managed to keep ahead of the flying freight. The freight went probably 500 feet when it. too, went off the track. In a 13w minutes lire started, and for hours the cars and the lumber burned away fiercely. The crash of the collision was heard by persons living in the vicinity, who immediately started for the wreck. When they got there an awful scene met their gaze. The combination car was on fire, and pinned under a mass of wreckage was Jessup. He was conscious and heroic efforts were made to release him from his situation. Finally the fire became so hot that the rescuers had to give up the task. Jessup, still conscious, cried, "It is hard to lie here and burn to deathV He struggled to release himself as the fire took hold of his limbs, but the effort was fruitless, and after a few screams of agony unconsciousness came to him. Exposed to full view, with blazing shingles all about him and his bed a mass of red hot coals, was the body of . an unknown man. It was slowly con- ' sumed. More than forty cars were scattered over the prairie. Owing to the distance of the wreck from the city limits and the absence of hydrants, the railroad officers made no attempt to save the wreckage from flames, and the forty cars, including the two passenger coaches, were consumed. The freight cars were laden with lumber and burned quickly. The track was torn up for a distance of several hundred yards, while several telegraph poles were destroyed by fire, cutting off all Southern and Western connections. The .bodies of Conductor Bricknell and Inspector Robinson were thrown forty feet from the scene of the wreck and were later found by searchers. MORE MIDDIES DISMISSED.

Washington, D. C.?"Ine President made public a copy of a letter which he addressed on February 1 to the Chairmen of the House and Senate Committees on Naval Affairs on the subject of hazing at-the United States Naval Academy. In it he said: ' I have directed that a pardon be issued to John Paul Miller, a midshipman at the United States Naval Aendemy. recently convicted of hazing and sentenced "to dismissal from the academy. In the discussion of this case my attention has been called forcibly to tlie -unsatisfactory condition of the law on mis suujen. "A midshipman accused of hazing, whether the extent of his offense be great or small, must be tried by courtmartial. The findings of such a court, if approved by the Superintendent of the academy, are declared final and cannot be revised by the Secretary of the Navy, or even by me, and neither the court itself nor the Superintendent nor the Secretary of the Navy has any discretion as to the punishment to' be imposed. "It is declared that in all cases of | conviction the offender shall be dismissed and bt ineligibii for appointment as a commissioned officer of the Army. Navy or Marine Corps during a I specified time. These provisions of law seem to me neither just nor judicious, and I am seriously concerned at the injury which I fear may be done to the discipline of the academy, and even to the future efficiency of the Navy if they are permitted to remain | in force without amendment. ' I heartily disapprove of the practice of hazing and in common with all those interested in the welfare of the academy wish to see this practice thoroughly eradicated there. But the *-* rllf.micujril ic o ltntroflipr punisuLiieiii ui uiaunoaai i.* disproportionate to tlie culpability involved in some forms of liazing. In many cases thpse amount to nothing more than exhibitions of boyish mischief attended with no consequences of any moment to those hazed and Indicating on the part of the hazers .only some exuberance of animal spirits. "Unquestionably they ought to be punished, for under any circumstances hazing constitutes a breach of the rules and the future .officers of our Navy must be taught first of all and as a foundation for-all other merits strict and unquestioning obedience. But to punish these faults of youth by depriving the young man concerned of his career in life Is to commit a glaring injustice. Moreover, it frequently defeats the object of the law itself by eausins the offender's fault to be for- j gotten in the sympathy felt for iiis | misfortune sc that it becomes hard to j get a conviction, and when one is ob- i tained the pressure is very great on | Congress to pass a law restoring the offender. "In addition this disproportionate punishment of what may be a trivial offense may result in depriving the Government of a promising officer on whose education it has already expended several thousand dollars." ?

J., the a operations of an organized band of j, men who in the last eight years have v gathered a sum variously estimated at P from $750,000 to $1,000,000 by meth- * ods of which the Federal authorities disapprove, were brought to light. x\ White is the President of the Im- S perial Trustee Company, a New Jersey 1 corporation. with handsome offices in d tlie Weldon Building, 70 Montgomery t street, Jersey City. This company, or- I ganlzed in 1S98, advertises assets of $1,425,000, including $500,000 capital, tl $500,000 surplus, and $425,000 undi- a vided assets.

Then it closed. 31 There is still another warrant to be h served, but it is believed that the mnn against whom it is directed is out of the country. All six warrants are ! based upon indictments found last a month by the Federal Grand Jury in s] Trenton upon evidence supplied by ** Postoffice Inspectors James T.

In each *> Instance the indictment charges con- ai spiracy to defraud and the use of the ei United States rmails in furtherance of h the conspiracy. Three indictments were found against White, and one tl each against the other five men. The Federal authorities declare that P the fraud was worked on a bigger r< scale than any since the Storey Cotton Company case.

Hogg and three assistants fought beir way through a mob with Curtis ackson, a negro, just identified as the ssailantof Mrs. Daniel Norman. Hogg nd liis comrades had a frightful batle, but their courage and coolness ron the day, and their prisoner, inured only by a blow in the face with club that knocked him down, was iken safely in a buggy to Hendricksille. In that pluce the Sheriff and his risoner boarded a train for St, Louis, t was a particularly daring thing for lie officers to do, as Daniel Norman, be woman's husband, headed the mob rhich demanded .Tackson from the Sheriff. Norman, after Hogg disarmed iim, got another revolver and at last, esperate at the impending escape of he negro fired point blank at Sheriff logg. The ball went wild. Public feeling ran high in favor of lie lynching-of Jackson. The negro's ttack on Mrs. Norman was peculiarly rutal, and the woman's high position a the community, as well as the genral respect in which her husband was eld, inflamed hundreds of their riends. It was evident, too, from the atience of those who intended killing ackson summarily, that they wished } be sure of their man, and were desrmined not to make a travesty of aeir own outrage upon, justice. All arough the forenoon they waited unil Mrs. Norman'was in condiUon^to ave'the negro taken before her. She ras too ill to think of Jeavingv her ome, but at last physicians said the heriil might take the prisoner to her ouse. Hogg received an imperative cowland from Governor Folk to save the egro. There was no "if possible" in le message. "Save the negro," the rovernor's telegram read. /Hogg told is assistants he was resolved to carry lit the order if it co3t his own life, [e asked his men if they would stand y him. They said they would, no latter if death awaited them. Then le rour determined men set aDout leir terrible task.

Norman's lends crowded up to the windows f the jail and urged him' to iusist on aving the negro's life. They, too, rere armed. Sheriff Hogg had at his back Harry len and James Scott, deputy sheriffs, nd Henry Whitworth, the City Martial. He again asked them if they rould uphold him in carrying out the lw, saying he would make the fight lone if they wished to* withdraw, ired.byrl)Js example, they told.him gain t&ey would stay with him' to the nd. That infuriated Norman and is friepds. Sheriff'Hogg' went to the door of ie jail and addressed the crowd. The Sheriff's words made little imression on the men, and they sur >unaea tne jan aoor. Norman ran toward the south door, revolver in his hand. Sheriff Hogg nd Deputy Iden met him and disrmed him. As soon as he was reused he got another revolver from >me one in the crowd and again :arted for the negro. Meantime men surrounded the negro, ho was trembling and was utterly jeechless. Some one hit him in the ice with a club, knocking him down, he mob then began kicking him. Hogg then dragged Jackson to his iet and rushed him to a buggy. Whitorth sprang in and took the reins, cott perched himself on the back of. le vehicle and warned the mob away.' ozens of men sprang in front of the orses when Whitworth touched them rith l>is whip and several seized the nimals' heads. "Stand back," cried Hogg, "or I'll ioot to kill." He arose in his place and leveled a race of revolvers at the men in front f the horses. Then it was that Norlan's bullet winged its way by the herlff's head. Hogg smiled and, cryig, "I forgive you, Dan," told Whit'orth to whip up.
