Uhe Late Marlin J. “Russell. Martin J. Russell, the great Chicago •dltor, whose death was recorded last week, exercised a wide influence In civic affairs, In politics, in social life, Uy native tulent, by industry, by thrift, by honest endeavor, by loyalty to the ideals which he had formed he paved his way to the position which he oc cupied. He followed every path of duty ns it lay before him. He was born in Chicago In 1815. When the civil war broke out he left his books for the battlefield. He accompanied his uncle, Col. James A. Mulligan, to Mis souri, and was chosen second lieuten ant a year later. In 1862 Lieut. Rus sell was appointed assistant adjutant general and served in that capacity until mustered out of service. In 1870 Mr. Russell began his Journalistic ca reer as a reporter for the Evening Post. Later he became a member of the editorial staff of the Times, and In MARTIN J RUSSELL. 1876 was made editor of the Telegram, a paper published by W. F. Storey. Shortly afterward he returned to the Times, and in 1883 Joined the staff of the Herald. During the administra tion of President Cleveland Mr. Rus aell was collector of the port of Chi cago. S’cmc JVotable ^fomination-r. Speaking of the unanimity of Roose velt's nomination the Philadelphia Bulletin expresses the opinion that it must be extremely trying to sit in a convention as a delegate and be nom inated at the same time, and recalls the fact that. Garfield was the only president who sat In the convention which nominated him, and Seymour and Bryan wrere the only other presi dential candidates evolved from out the convention chaos of which they were a part. Hendricks was a dele gate to the convention of 1884, wnich named him nominee for vice-president after au attempt had been made to stampede it from Cleveland to him; Arthur sat among the New York delegates when the victorious anti third-termers tossed the second place to him like a bone In the closing hours of the session, and old demo crats remember how young John C. Breckinridge sat In the convention which gave him the vice-presidency on the ticket with James Buchanan and sought In vain to escape the pres sure. SA.JVITA. *Ry 'REFO'RME'R. Lord Ranfurly, the governor of New Zealand, has earned for himself consid erable notoriety as a voluntary anJ somewhat exacting sanitary inspector —a work which, to say the least of It, is not usually regarded as within the Bcope of vice-regal duties. The l»rd llunfurly governor has pro nounced views on hygiene and sani tary science, and ever since then) has been danger of the bubonic plague betng carried from Sidney to New Zealand he has been tits leading spirit In an ener getic and effective crusade for clean lines*.

I do not know Mr. Croker myself and I have no fondness for the political organization he bosses, but those who have come into contact with the American politician pronounce him to be one of the quietest and most unassuming of men, friendly, hospi table, and charitable, while showing not the slightest disposition to thrust himself into county society or to "cut a figure” in any direction. Neither his politics nor any other of his views have been obtruded upon his neigh bor’s, nor on any one in this coun try. It is alleged, however (with what truth I do not know and do not care), that Mr. Croker has favored the Boer delegates in America, and to such lengths is the abuse of "patriotism" for trade or party purposes now car ried, that this allegation is deemed sufficient to Justify the raising of a hue and cry in the London press against an American citizen who has paid us the compliment of acquiring a home in England, and whose conduct among us has been beyond reproach. A grosser breach of the laws of hos pitality, not to say good manners, could hardly be committed, even In the name of patriotism.—Truth. Gen. Chaffee Off for "Pekjn. Gen. Chaffee has left Washington to take charge of the American land forces in China. He is accompanied by the Seventh cavalry and will draw the balance of his forces from the Philippines. The formal orders to Gen. Chaffee, Issued by Acting Secre tary of War Meiklejohn, direct him to “take command of the troops ordered to China, and to proceed to Pekin by way of San Francisco and Taku, ac companied by his aids.” The direction to proceed to the capital of the Chi nese empire indicates a determination on the part of the government au thorities to have a strong military force at the seat of the Chinese government. The desire to have Gen ^ Chaffee and tbisR cavalry regiment-a reach China with " little delay lb such Gen. Chaffee, that the transport will not stop at Honolulu, but will continue on her way direct to Nagasaki, Japan. At that point Gen. Chaffee will be in com munication with the war department and will receive further instructions. If the trouble Is all over the troops will go from Nagasaki to Manila. To Soar AbotJe the Clouds. News comes from Europe that the flying machine designed by Count Zep pelin of the German army has been completed and is about to be put to a series of trials, says the Philadelphia Record. Unusual interest Is centered on this machine, because of the mag nitude of the scheme and because of the association with it of such a dis tinguished name as Count Zeppelin. An idea of the enormity of the scheme may be gathered front the fact that before uny work was begun a floating construction plant was erect ed on Lake Constance, 450 feet in length and sixty-five feet high. In the boathouse the foundation of the ship was laid, and since then the entire construction ha3 been carried on within its four walls. In “Rich Man's Paradise. Otto Young, the wealthy Chicago merchant, has decided to add another palace to the group at Lake Geneva, Wis., the rich man's resort. Here is a picture of the proposed dwelling. It will cost a million dollars, and Is to be 175 feet in length, seventy-five feet deep, and three stories in height above the basement. It has a white Georgia graulte base, and, above the stylobate, the entire face, walls, cornices, balus trades, etc., are finished In white Bed ford oolitic limestone, richly carved I TUB YOt'NQ PALAC’R and (!«nr»W Ihrtmihuui Tkt itjrlr la Italian r*ualaaan<a The* pavilion I mli of Ike atruatiir* ire uyeti through Ur* ttrai »lnr», and furm a lonunua lion of ih* loggia ai tha ««nwr. in letiHlnl al ink ml by to«>H port-baa. niabina a gallery or aorrldor In !*n|tb by aiaiy fa*l In width mmi in* front and arl*« of ' tha building I h» »a»i front h«» at ita r*M*r a clrmtar portico a»wa twanty #»• f*H tn lum*t*r forming | tha (.arriagv p- r< h anlran.* ELECTRICAL TUX/MTET. Francis MacDaniel an eastern in ventor. has jusi obtained a patent on the electrical ear trumpet shown ba low. its principle being based on the well-known fact that persons deaf to ordinary sounds—such, for Instance, as the human voice—can hear the same sound perfectly plain if pro duced in the presence of a sound of greater volume. Theoretically this condition is probably-due to the in fluence of the ordinary sound waves produced by the voice, music or simi lar means acting as superposed waves or interfering waves with the Influence created by the large sound waves upon the nerve centers of the ear. In the device the Inventor ap plies the principle by creating sound waves from the vibrations of a tuned reed, which is set in motion by mak ing and breaking an electrical cir cuit. A small battery and magnet are used to create the electrical vibrations, with a push buttop located In a con venient position to close the circuit when the person desires to hear. The reed is located in the bell of a trumpet, ELECTRICAL AID TO HEARING, which also serves as a receiver and mixer for the vibrations of the exter nal sound waves and those from the reed, the latter serving as a vehicle for the former. Spain Is LooKjnf} 1/p. The vigor with which the Spanish government is enforcing the collection of the new taxes seems to inspire con fidence at home in the honesty and ability of the present financial admin istration. The 4 per cent bonds of the gov ernment sold on the European bourses above 72, and the new and purely in ternal loan of 1,200,000,000 pesatas— nominally equal to $240,000,000—de signed to take up more than half the nation’s floating debts, commands a premium in advance of its issue. Slaves in Gatvi tjabui. The slave owners In Tawl Tawl are Moros. They have the right to slaves by their religion and have held them for centuries. In the past they have carried on a great business in kidnap ping men, women and children, and taking them to Borneo and elsewhere for sale. There are white men still living who have been Moro slaves, having been captured by the Moros in their wars with the Spaniards. According to the Moro laws the father has the right to sell his children. He can sell his wife A SLAVE GIRL IN TAWI TAWI. arul if he sets into debt he sells him self to pay it. The debts of fathers entail the slavery of the children, who agree to work for their creditors until the debt is paid. A JVEW VICyCLE MOTOTK.

CHADRON, Neb., July 1.—While the family of Benjamin Lowenthal of this city were asleep in a summer tent on the lawn, a large giant firecracker, measuring ten inches in length, was lighted anil thrown into the tent by two mischievous boys. The cracker exploded among the sleeping children, setting their bedding on fire without awakening them. The father, who was asleep In the house, being awak ened by the noise, rushed out and found the tent filled with smoke and flames. The tent was pulled down and the bed clothes scattered about the lawn. Moses, the 1‘J-year-old son, was badly burned about the face and hands. The rest of the children es caped without serious injury. The chief of police was notified and the boys were soon apprehended and placed under arrest.

OMAHA, June 30.—The small boy and his firecrackers and other instru ments of torture are supposed to be off of the earth until 0 o’clock on the evening until July 3. Policemen will be after all violators of the fireworks and firecracker ordinances until that evening, when the ordinance will lie suspended until Fourth of July at mid night. Mayor Moores has instructed the chief of police to prevent Fourth of July celebrations from continuing throughout the entire summer. A number of runaways tfiat were caused by firecrackers and fireworks have already been reported and many complaints have been lodged with the mayor and the police department. Every effort will he made to protect the city of Omaha from an untimely fusillade of cap pistols and Roman candles. Fremont fiunutruy Accident. FREMONT, Neb., July 30—Attor ney A. H.

One of his ribs is broken and he is badly injured internally. His little girl, who is 7 years old, had one ear nearly torn off and sustained other bad bruises and cuts. The 5-year-old boy escaped comparatively uninjured. Hare Craze Keuchre Mlit-lby SHELBY, Neb., June 30 —The Bel gian hare craze has struck Shelby, one citizen who raised St. Bernards, several of which won a national repu tation, is going out of the dog busi ness because he claims hares are less expensive to raise and more profita ble. Two other leading citizens have invested neat sums in the small ani mals. In December the Polk County Poultry association will hold its show In Shelby and there will be a separate division for the hare show. The lat ter promises to eclipse the main show as an attraction.
