Bliss of Boston. The subject of the Doctor's remarks was in general along the line of the work of organized labor. The audience was an appreciative one and the subject and remarks seemed to tk "thoroughly interest alU . A brief song service was neia oeiore tne aaaress. Dr. Bliss is a Christian socialist and his aviews upon his subject are along the line t'iof that belief. He believed that mission aries are as badly needed in the indus tries, arts, politics and sciences as in wjrsia and Africa.

He said that they are often misrepresented, their mistakes are .advertised by the press, while of the .great good they do nothing is said. He believed were Christ to be upon -earth in this age he would make several new commandments, "Thou shalt not be a scab," and "Thou shalt not steal another man's job." He who steals another man's job not only injures the man but also his wife and children. Dr. Bliss believed that the pubiic authorities should provide work for the unemployed by giving to them employment upon public improvements. He wanted all men to enter politics and help purify it. This was Dr. Bliss' last address in Lincoln and from here he will go to Grinell, Iowa, and from there to St. Louis where he will work upon the same lines as here. ' $100 Reward, $100.

The students of the state university are still fighting for cheaper books. The sentiment in favor of the regents taking the matter into their own hands and furnishing books to students at lower rates bos grown until it is unanimous in the university. The following resolu tions were passed at the union debating club last Saturday evening: Whereas, The law provides that "the regents shall procure all text books to be used in the university, and shall furnish them to students at cost," and as the students are not receiving the benefit of this law; Therefore, after due consideration, after having discussed the facts at pre vious meetings, we do unanimously ap prove the resolutions passed last Satur day evening by., the other debating societies in the university, and do heart ily concur in the action of the committee acting in behalf of the student body to secure recognition and enforcement of the law; and further be it Resolved, That we do heartily pledge ourselves, as individuals and in union, to work until we secure these ends. SKINS SPENCER. An Oklahoma Paper Resents the Sena tor's Attack on W. L. Cundiff. Under the heading, "Unjust and Cruel," the Daily Leader of Guthrie, Oklahoma, prints the following editorially: Senator Spencer, a member of the Nebraska legislature, introduced a re markable resolution in the Nebraska state senate at Lincoln on Wednesday. It related to the misfortunes of Judire W. L. Cundiff, of Enid, who became in sane during the excitement of a heated political campaign, and who was dis charged from the Norman asylum a few days ago as cured. Cundiff once lived in Lincoln, Neb., and was a warm personal friend of Hon. W. J. Bryan. It happen ed that Cundiff presented the name of Mr. Bryan to the convention that nomi inated that gentleman for congress for the first time. Senator Spencer, who is a republican, tookthe announcement of Cundiff's recovery from his misfortune as the occasion for a resolution of con gratulations, designed for political effect. Spencer's resolution reads as follows: "Whereas, The following appeared in a recent issue of the Leader, of Guthrie, O. T.; "Judge William L. Cundiff, of Enid, the old friend of William J. Bryan, and the man who made the speech nominat ing him for congress the first time, who lost his mind over the result of the re cent election, was last evening dis charged from the territorial asylum as cured; and, "Whereas, We at all times stand ready and willing to extend our earnest sympathy to suffering mankind; there fore be it "Resolved, That this body extend to the above party its sympathy and congratulate him upon the escape from the predicament into which his political views plunged him." It is strange that a man who is pre sumed to be big enough to represent any portion of the people of a great state in tne legislature should stoop to an act which does not even reach the dignity of cheap politics. , Many things may be excused on polit ical grounds, but the dragging in of the awful misfortune that befell Cundiff is entirely inexcusable, and the man who would lather such a cruel, heartless res olution is deserving of the execration of men. Senator Spencer's resolution ought to be wiped from the records, and it ought (to be written down right now that the man who from partisan spleen would unnecessarily inflict a wound up on the unfortuate, cannot escape the condemnation which his wanton cruelty demands at the hands of men of heart and brain and blood. In appreciation of Judge Cundiff's noble work in the cause of free silver, the Oklahoma legis lative assembly should pass a resolution denouncing the Nebraska senator for his uncalled-for attack on one of Okla homa's noble bimetallic sons.

United States Senator Aldrich of Rhode" Island has represented his. state for many years and was very prominent in the framing of the tariff bill which is called after the name of Gov. Mc Kinley, says Harper's Young People The senator tells the following inci dent, adding that he has never had a conceited moment since it occurred: "Not long since I was journeying from Providence to New York, when a business man of my state, a man of prominence and wealth, and an old friend of mine, fell in with me, and at once said: " 'Good morning, senator. Where are you going?" "'Oh, I am going to Washington,' said I. " 'What are you going there for?' " 'To attend my public duties.' " "Why, what duties what duties do you have in Washington?' "Blushing, I replied that I was still a United States senator. , . "'Oh, yes,' said the business man of prominence, wealth and standing; 'you were elected to the senate, weren't you?' After a pause: 'By the way, who is the other senator from Rhode Island?'" Maceo dead or alive cuts no figure.

The shaDes of fishes have often ben studied with a view to determining the best shape for boats with regard to speed. There are many fishes whose fins, or a part of them, at least, shut down into gutters, so that when dosed and not in use they make no projection beyond the body, but fold down into these deDressions. flush with the sur face, and offeringno obstruction what ever to the rapia passage of the fi3h through the water when swimming at sneed. driven by its tail-fin nand as a propeller. The slime with which every fish is coated wmcn is in various wavs essential to its comfort and exist ence, helps the fish also to slide more easily and rapidly tnrough the water. In fact, the fish, studied by men for ideas in modelling, is not only speedy, but it is, as one might say, always black-leaded tnd ready for racing. Will Fight in Carson. Carson City, Nev., Feb. 8.

Late in November the dock-laborers of Hamburg, to the number of ten or twelve thousand, struck for an increase of wages. They were Joined by other workers in the shipping trades, and th movement spread to Bremen, where several hundred dock-laborers left their work. The strike seems to have been the first fruit of a movement which has been for some time in progress under the leadership of English agitators, to form an international confederation of men employed in the shipping trades. The German authorities expelled from the country two of the English leaders who had been concerned in organizing the movement. SHOES OP THE SEASON. All Kinds and Sorts Destined for the Various Phases of Summer Life. The walking boot par excellence is a reflection of good sense, and one more additional evidence that the present generation are In many things wiser than their elders were. The favorite foot-covering Just now Is the Juliet or Diana shoe, with a graceful Instep, elas tic sides, and shapely yet solid heel. These come in finest French kid and in russet kids and leathers of various qual ities. Large invoices of shoes are dis played designed for the wear and tear of rambles and climbing in country or mountain. These shoes are made of the softest and finest of French calf. They are far better for outing uses than shoes of any other sort, and when black ened shine like satin. They are comfort able yet attractive Improvements of the regular common-sense boot, with Its un necessarily heavy and ungainly heel and sole. For carriage wear are some very stylish and elegant models. Includ ing those made of black satin, patent leather with black moire tops, russet colored and gray undressed kid, and bronze kid with brown tips. The fancy for low shoes over black or dark silk hose will be as general as ever this sea son. The Juliet styles are their only ri vals. For house and full-dress wear the low-cut Dieppe sandal of black satin or black French kid tipped with Jet is very fashionable abroad. Colored kid slippers matching the evening toilet, contrary to reports concerning them, are not re garded as expressions of elegance, and have given place to the Dieppe sandal. With the exception of Jet, bead adorn lngs on slippers have entirely disap peared from the season's fashionable ex hibit. Laced shoes of white canvas with white kid tops are still popularly worn with duck, pique and Holland costumes on land and sea. For country uses and for tennis are some natty little outing boots, laced with silk cords and finished with finely corrugated soles. Coloring; Soap. According to the Scientific American, a very radical change has taken place lately in the coloring of soap that is, until a comparatively recent time min eral colors were exclusively employed, but the advance In the tar color in dustry has brought about the change. A very prominent advantage noted in respect to mineral colors Is their sta bility, not being altered orn any way effected by exposure to light, an ad vantage, however, which is offset in many cases by the remarkably beauti ful effect of numerous aniline colors, and by the mure difficult method of application In the case of the former; the specific gravity of mineral colors being rather high In most cases, they naturally tend to settle toward the bot tom, necessitating crutching of the soap until It is too thick to drop the color; but for mottled soap, cinnabar, or ver milion and ultramarine are still largely employed ' Just try a 1 0c box of Cascarets.the fin est liver and bowel regulator ever made. EASILY SCARED. He d leal Scientists Having; a Jolly Time ' with English Aristocracy. The English public appears at this moment to be under the spell of a bacllllc spectre which disturbs severely the peace of mind of the well-to-do. With the advent of the epidemic of grip the doctors relied upon oysters and champagne as a mitigating remedy. Just at that time it was reported that typhoid fever was a possible sequence to indulgence In the first. In conse quence the bivalve was avoided, with a corresponding Increase in the dose of champagne. Following close on the heels of this theory came the discovery that death lurked In watercress. Dr. Verdon, the medical officer of the health board of Lambeth, stated officially, after an Inspection of the various water cress farms about London, that the plant was contaminated with sewage water and consequently dangerous to the health of the people of London, who consumed a;i the Lambeth crop. On top of this it was announced that bread was positively dangerous unless baked at a temperature of 100 deg. cen tigrade. As no one could be positive that this particular degree of heat was employed in the brand which he con sumed, all bread was looked upon with suspicion. To add to this burden of uncertainty, bacteriologists uttered a note of warning against the contami nating possibilities of the common hrfiisn fly. It was clearly demonstrated by inese investigators, that. In default of any other explanation, the fly must be held responsible for the srjre&d of dis ease. There Is at least one advantage in tne acute interest of people in the bacllllc theory, and that Is the closer attention Which Is now riven to care in the preparation of food. This is very mucn in evidence In the kitchens of ho tels. There are many of these In New York, where every person who has any thing to do with the cooking, preparing, or serving of aliments is required be fore he enters the kitchen to wash hSa hands thoroughly with antiseptic soasj ana to ary them on a separate towel.

Fathetlo Incident of a Stormy Night on a Reservation. In the rounds of duty incident to the business of stock raising, I camped one night on a little creek within the borders of the great Nez Perces In dian reservation, writes a correspond ent of the Detroit Free Press. It was cold evening in early Bprlng, and no notes were taken of the surroundings before darkness settled over the shel tered little plat of wild meadow and brought to a close a day of hard work. There were Indian cabins of dingy, unpainted boards, and smoky old log houses up and down the river, but the peaceable owners were not astir, and I heard not a sound to denote the presence of mankind. This silence and inaotivity is not unusual in the settlements of the native redman. Poor, shaggy saddle ponies were feed ing about on the scanty grass. The dogs were barking in answer to the shrill notes of the howling, hungry coyotes and the echoes played from side to side of the rocky canyon. The river, too, sent up a changing rumble, rising and falling like sighs from a troubled heart But my loneliness did not keep me from sleep. 1 was tired and slept soundly for several hours when I was aroused by the beating of rain drops in my face. The wind had whirled down into my shel tered cove and carried away the blanket that formed my tent The calm, cold evening had become a blustering stormy night I gathered my blanket about me for protection from the storm as best I could and tried to sleep again. As the wind lulled I heard a strange noise. It was the voice of someone a child, I thought in distress. It was dark and it would be impossible in that storm for me to prepare a light I tried to resist the impulse that urged me to go to the relief of the one in distress, but again and again I heard the cry someone weeping and wail ing in distress. I hastily put on my clothes and started in the direction from which came the pitiful cry. clambered over stiff, unyielding brush and oragged rocks till I reached a bare knoll that stood out from the mountains like a mound. I came in contact with what I knew to be the fence around an Indian grave. The strange cry came to me more distinct ly. It was the pathetic wail of an In dian woman. I heard the same sad cry ox nopeiessness oeiora x was within a few feet of her. She must have been aware of my approach, but so intense was her grief that she was not startled to such an extent that it called her mind for one instant from the dead. I turned away and left her to bear her burden with only the dark ness of night and the fury of the wind to help her. When daylight came I went again to the grave. It was that of a very small child. Its heartbroken mother was the mourner whom all the world could not comfort There was a rude fence around, the little new made grave and there were flags wav ing above it to frighten the wild beasts that howled so ghoulishly the evening before. The storm that came so suddenly that night was the first to beat upon the lonely reating place of the little one, and the mother came from her house near by and threw herself upon the grave beausa It in some way relieved her to protect all that remained for her of her heart's treasure.

Residents of a Chicago Suburb ExcltoS Orer a Placard. The residents of the village of Sag Bridge, a small station on the banks of the canal on the Alton railroad, are considerably excited over a mysterious person who decorates their front doors with the following inscription, which is written In a bold hand upon a piece of wrapping paper: "May the curse of God Almighty fall upon you. May you have all kinds of bad luck, and may you die a starving death." The first to discover the placard was Jacob Marks, the village sexton, who lives In the hollow. He started to leave bis home shortly before 6 o'clock to toll the church bell, as Is customary every morning at 6 o'clock. He started to close the door when he saw the piece of pa per pinned to the floor in a prominent place so that any person passing the sexton's domicile could see It. Later In the day John Connors, a laborer, said that he found a piece of paper tacked to his door with the curse writ ten on it. Other complaints followed. It was learned that a young man, rep resenting himself to be deaf and dumb, canvassed the village and asked for alms. The police attribute the mys terious papers to him.

A graphic story is told by Surgeon- Captain Grey, one of the officers who served Rhodesia, says the St James' Budget In the attack on Mashan gam bis the horses began to drop and soon thirteen lay on the ground and It looked as if the men would all be killed. Evidently Captain Turner thought so, for he virtually gave the order "Sauve qui peut," telling every man to fight the best he could for his own hand. But, though the horses continued to fall, the men es caped. Dr. Grey, to use his own words, "led toward the way out un der a raking fire at a gallop, and was closely followed by the troop. Very soon, however, I fell from the saddle, struck with a bullet from an elephant gun about 600 yards off., The bullet struck me on the top of the thigh. smashing the socket of the thigh bone. breaking a vein and otherwise wound ing me. My horse was carried on at full speed with the rearguard, which rushed at desperate speed to clear the picket-like entrance of the drift, where the natives were rallying in the hope of killing us. As I lay on the grass. bleeding profusely, I looked up ana saw two natives aiming at me at a dis tance of about forty feet At the same moment I saw my horse come thunder ing back from the drift It suddenly stooped and stood over my prostrate body, coving me from the firing and at the same time making a peculiar noise through its nostrils. I thought It had been wounded, and that, with the pain, noise and confusion, it had gone mad. This notion, however, was soon dispelled, for it continued to stand over me in a kneeling posture and I could see that the faithful animal had come back to protect me. I may re mark here that this horse, which I my self selected, I made a pet of. The as segais from the approaching natives were now beginning to fly around me, and, thinking if I could reach my horse's back I should be shot, which was preferable to being assegaled, X seized the reins, put my right foot la the stirrup, and made a supreme et fort to mount And I was successful. but how I did it I do not know, for my left side was entirely paralysed. On finding myself In the saddle, I called 'Go!' to my horse, which darted like an arrow toward the exit from the drift" A Neglected Crop.
