Florence Mavbrick First Ran; It. J It is generally known by this time that "Stephen Adams.'' the composer, and Michael Maybrick, the baritone singer, are one and the same person. ; An interesting fact concerning the J first singing of "The Holy City" is . not generally known, viz., that Mrs. ' Florence Maybrick was the one who first sang the words which have aided so materially in making the name of J "Stephen Adams" famous. It was aboard his yacht that Michael May brick composed "The Holy City," and it was ther that Florence Maybrick first gave voice to its melodious strains. mm z ranee -Faces A I devolution Costliest of All Monuments. ' Mrs. Leland Stanford is determined that the university at Palo Alto, Cal.. founded in memory of her son, shall be one of the greatest educational in stitutions in the world. The magnifi cent Taj Mahal, that wonderful me morial tomb at Agra, in India, cost S16.000.000. but this is less than the endowment of the Stanford university. The one monument is but a master piece of beauty, the other is the source cf education and inspiration to higher achievements for the countless thou sands in the years to come. Mrs. "Stanford has given her entire time and attention to her son and to her bus "band. who bequeathed to her this trust of affection. Physicians Much Interested. Northport, Mich.. Dec. 9. The medl ral men are just now eagerly discuss ing a most remarkable cure of a severe Nase of Kidney Disease in this county. Mr. Byron O. Leslie of Northport has for years been a victim of kidney de rangements, with all the consequent rain and annoyance. He was gradual ly growing worse and as the disease advanced he became very despondent, often wondering if he would have to endure this suffering all his lifetime. But at last he found a remedy that cured him in Dodd's Kidney Tills. He was much pleased, but did not say much about it lest the good effect he experienced would not last. Now, J.owever, after months of continued pood health he has concluded that he Is permanently cured and his an nouncement of this has caused a pro found sensation among the physicians and the people who knew of his appar ently hopeless condition. At Montceau, a mining town in the center of France, 8,000 miners were divided into two camps those who wanted to work, and those who want ed to prevent them.writesa Paris corre spondent. For some time their only weapons had been sticks and stones. Then a Paris paper of the Red Social ist propaganda offered a novel premi um to its readers and distributers; for every fifteen copies of the paper bought, plus eight francs cash, it of fered a remodeled Gras or Chassepot rifle. The striking miners of Montceau saw in these rifles a new means to persuade their weaker brethren. They began to send for them in quantity. The working miners instead of being intimidated by these preparations, be gan ordering rifles for themselves from the came accommodating Socialistic .paper. There was any quantity of these rifles in Paris, old Gras and Chassepot rard, delegates from the north and the Pas-de-Calais; Joucaviel and Cha brolin. from Carmaux and d'Alais, to represent the south; Merzet and Girar d?t. sent by the federation of the Loire: Buvat and the Citizen Buisson nicr, standing for the tenter, and Citi zen Cotte, general secretary. These nine men as delegates to the National Federation of Miners, claim to speak for 160,000 fellow workingmen and voters. Besides clearing off their regu lar three months' accumulation of rou tine business, they had to demand three great things of the government and fix a date for that most redoubt able of all labor demonstrations, a general strike the long-threatened strike of the Federation. The three demands made on the gov ernment will show how far organized labor has gone in France (1) the es tablishment (by government) of a minimum salary; (2 old-age pensions o Flare for I'help or btoae. In some parts of Peru for example, in the province of Jauja hens eggs are circulated as small coins, forty-i-ight or fifty being counted as a dol lar. In the market places and in the shops the Indians make most of their purchases with this brittle sort of money. One will give two or three eggs for brandy, another for indigo and a third for cigars. These eggs' are packed in boxes by the shop-, keepers and sent to Lima. From Jau ja alone several thousand loads of ?ggs are annually forwarded to the capital. Col Jack Attor'i Invention.

Ainslee's Magazine, the football play er seldom develops buncl es of muscle, and an outsider might t amazed to peep into the bathroom, ad see the nude figures, free from padding and jersey. It would puzzle him to under stand how the young man who but a few moments before had staggered up the field bearing nearly a ton of his fellow men could accomplish that with a comparatively lean figure. "But the trainer would tell hira, as he told me, that the showy muscles count for nothing. 'I have seen foot ball men, said he, 'who could play through a game with broken nose or wrenched collar bone, tear a hole In the line big enough for a train of cars to pass through, and tackle with the ferocity of a tiger. Yet those fellows, stripped, displayed flat and narrow muscles. Hinkey of Yale and Simms of Pennsylvania, the most terrific ends one could hope to see, were of that sort. There is no attempt, therefore, in training to put on a player the muscles of Sandow. What the coach does attempt is to keep the body flood ed with vigor and stamina, to toughen the fibre so that it will withstand any shock, encourage hi3 wards when downhearted, and gently squelch them if in danger of conceit. It is proposed that every player be a fighter; but. if you please, a gentleman fighter. To this end he is Instructed how to dis able an opponent, and how to save himself from injury."

Leonard, Tammany can didate for assemblyman, was compli mented on his fine voice at the close of a campaign speech and was asked what he took to produce such pleasant tones. "It's a secret," he said, "but I don't mind letting you in. I swal lowed three raw eggs on my way to the hall and kept one in my pocket .as a reserve. I sat down on the pock et, and now I don't know whether it was that egg or the other three that did me good."

The old-age pensions are notoriously undergoing a course of "study" in the proper governmental circles. A be ginning was made in the law of May 23. 1894. and the best opinion i3 that the miners will have to await, with the other 'brethren, the general granting of this boon until it is dis covered where the money is to come from. With regard to the eight-hour working day there is no consensus of opinion among the miners themselves, 100,000 out of 160.000 of them having refused, when solicited, to vote upon it. If the minimum day's pay could be secured the eight-hour working day would come rn handy, but as there is no real hope that the government could succeed in dictating fixed ex penses to mine owners, even should it b? willing to undertake the novel task, the eight-hour working day remains one of the enigmas of the industry. Besides this, great masses of miners. INTEREST RATESJkVERE HIGH. A Banking Lxperienre in Virginia After ' the War. Gov. J. Hoge Tyler of Virginia Is responsible for this interesting bank ing story: "Soon after the war, when banking rates, or discount rates, were high, an old fellow in one of the south west counties of Virginia, a farmer, went to the bank to secure a loan of $1,000 for five years. Of course this made the 'man behind the grating open his eyes and look at him with wonder and astonishment, and the farmer was told that they could not make provision for such a loan as that unless they had the most satisfactory collateral that could' be obtained. The old fellow asked. 'Collot what?' 'Col lateral, the banker answered. 'Well, what is that? the farmer asked. The banker went on to describe the stocks and bonds and securities that are meant by the term collateral. The old farmer said: 'Well, if I had those things .1 wouldn't want any money. They are better than money,' he said. 'Well,' said the banker, 'you can't get the money unless you succeed in get ting some of those collaterals, and then we might discount your note." Well, the farmer succeeded in getting some collateral and in getting some personal indorsements, and also in getting his own name upon the paper and hi? wife's as well, and obtained mortgages on everything he had. He came and dumped his collateral down on the banker's desk. They were satisfactory, and the cashier made out his note for him for $1,000, and told him to sign it," which the farmer did. After signing the note he passed it over. Then the cashier counted him out $287.52. The old farmer ejaculated, 'Come on.' 'No, sir," said the cashier, 'that is all you can get on a note of $1,000 for five years at our present rate of discount.' 'Dis what?' asked the farmer. 'Dis count, said the cashier; 'that is all you can get.' 'What do you mean?' said the farmer.

The true figures, however, cannot be known l until the dawning of the dark day when the weapons shall be used. There are agitators who boast that the miners of the north are also fully armed. One thing is certain; the sup ply of Gras and Chassepot rifles has been practically inexhaustible, the government having in the past three years auctioned off 100,000 of these obsolete models dating from the Franco-Prussian war. "While all this was going on, while "When a man marries a woman Kt Bnlta him. a woman is the creat- institution In the world.

They vote with the federation, or abstain from voting, but their interest nrges them the other way. Such was the case of the miners of Montceau before the strike of 1899, and such is the case of the non-strikers, called "The Yellows," of today. The government has at last taken a firm hand and whenever the Reds store an abundance of rifles a raid by gen darmes (French military police) is sure to follow. Several seizures have already been reported. In some cases individuals bearing arms are being notified to deliver them to the govern ment officers under penalty of death.
