No such event in the his tory of the country. If Poynter is not renominated, he will have only himself to blame. It was poible for him, if he had the ability aad Itneas that a man in official posi tiea osght to have, to make his admin istration ao good that a renomination woaH have come by acclamation and without the asking, and no men would have been more pleased with such a re iaH taaaauthaee who now think his re- woald seriously endanger .-Silver Greek KX0KXSUfKKKKXKOOCKKKXX America's duty first, to defend her do the best possible HAS THE CSISIS COME? Cam Anybaiy Vow Foresee What is to. Be the Emd? The United States is naturally disin clined to take part in old-world conflicts, but in the sudden emergency that has arisen in China, there has been nothing else to do than to act with others in de fense of our own. It seems of those singular incidents where clashing interests are hushed in the presence of an overwhelming dan ger, so far-reaching as to appall the stoutest heart that pauses to think of what may happen next A singular people. A people who have resisted the advances of every na tion, who has ever tried to deal with them. A nation, a horde of humanity who could, by mere force of numbers effect revolutions not calculated on be fore. This horde of people are now to be held in check by the chief powers of the world, acting in concert for the time being. The danger is to all. The trouble will be to all. OurSenator Davis of Minnesota, chair man of the senate committee on foreign affairs, is supposed to bo as well versed in Chinese affairs as any one in this country. He says: "No man can tell what will come out of the present situation in China. I shall be agreeably disappointed if the immediate consequence does not result in complications which it will take years to straighten out. Moreover, genera tions to come may find that in awaken ing China, the western world has brought into existence a giant which will insist upon taking part in affairs at inoppor tune moments. ''That the powers are in a dilemma which they would have been glad to avoid, may be taken for granted. It seems inevitable that China will be par titioned. Certainly the acting empress will be dethroned. This cannot be done without a war, which will probably re peat itself many times. "It must be remembered, too, that in China lives fully one-fourth of the world's population. The people there have a civilization of a certain sort that was in existence when tho wolf was suckling Romulus. Until now the newer civiliza tion has made no impression upon China. If we force upon the yellow race our methods and in China they are accepted as readily as they have been in Japan, we will create a force which will be sure to work a great influence upon the fu ture history of the world. I look upon the present crisis as more important than any that has arisen since our own civil war." Senator Lodge, one of the members of the Foreign Relations committee of the United States senate, in a speech at Boston Saturday, said: "The events that are going on today in China are big with future results. All the great nations of the world are gath ered there. One great nation is plann ing to seize that empire and close it to the rest of tho world. That, in our own interests and the interests of humanity and the interests of civilization, too, we cannot afford. "I am not afraid ever to see the Uni ted States take her place in the struggle of the great world powers where she belongs. I do not mean that I want her to meddle in Europe; God forbid, but I do say that the other side of the Pacific is an American interest, and I want to see the United States protect her own throughout the East" If there is a state in the Union which needs a change in state officers, says the David City News, Nebraska is that state. The conduct of its public institu tions since Poynter has been governor, has been a disgrace to the people of the state, and especially so to Poynter him self. It has been one continual wrangle during his administration, and these have been caused principally by the in competents he has placed in charge of the asylum, homes, etc. Only last week there was a general free-for-all at tho Beatrice institution, in which wholesale arrests were made, Dr. Lang, in charge of the institution among the number. Truly, this is a pretty spectacle for the people of the state. A passenger train on the Macon branch of the Southern railway ran into a washout one and a half miles north of McDonough, Go., Saturday night and was completely wrecked. The entire train, except the sleeper, was destroyed by fire. Every person on the train ex cept occupants of the Pullman car per ished. Not one of the train crew escap ed. Thirty-five persons were killed. A cloudburst broke over this section of the country about 6 o'clock Saturday evening and presumably shortly after washed out a section of the track nearly 100 feet in length. Into this the swiftly moving train plunged and met its fate. One body was found a mile from the wreck. A half century ago Daniel Webster, if he had had McKinley's administra tion in bis mind's eye, couldn't have given a more accurate description: "That is the truest American policy which shall most usefully employ Amer ican capital and American labor and best sustain the whole American pop ulation. Agriculture, commerce and manufacturers will prosper together or languish together." Potnter's majority two years ago was less than three thousand. What will it be when he must go before the people with a long string of apologies for blun ders in appointing wicked and foolish men to office? Besides he must answer to his parties for the appointment of Fred Jewell as private secretary, whom Edgar Howard says is a hypnotist and a dangerous man to trust with matters of reform.

Hew am Artlat Palattn Ptetar at Hlnaacir. It has been a common practice with, artists of all ages and countries to paint their own pictures, and at the Ufilzl gallery In Florence can be seen a magnificent collection of portraits of the world'a great painters done by themselves. It Is a coveted honor to be Invited to contribute one's own portrait to this collection, for one must be emi nent before thlscompllment is paid. As may be easily understood, painting one's own portrait is a somewhat trou blesome task, for the painter must do a good deal from memory, especially If he puts himself In an attitude which It is difficult to reflect in a mirror. A straightforward portrait looking out of the picture Is obviously the easiest to manage, for the painter has only to place the mirror In front of him to see. his model. Triple and quadruple mirrors must, be employed when the attitude Is In any way removed from full face. A profile would be more difficult to see for oneself, but a three-quarter race would be no less so, as In both cases the artist would be working from a re flection of a reflection, which, to say the least of It, Is a bothering condition. The looking at oneself for a long time Is one of the strange and trying conditions of painting one's own por trait, for difficulties and complexities appear to grow the more one tries to grapple with them. Like the road to' the tired traveler, which seems to lengthen as he goes, so the difficulties of painting oneself appear to Increase, rather than diminish the more one looks at oneself. Apart from painting one's one por trait, artists largely draw from them selves, for a man can more easily as sume a particular attitude than get another person to do so. Then for de tails, such as a baud, arm, nose, eye. the artist and a mirror supply all that Is required. Another of the many uses of a mirror Is to reverse the work dur ing its progress, as reversing a draw ing will often reveal an awkwardness, want of balance or faulty drawing, which might otherwise go undetected. Chicago News. A CIVIL WAfi EPISODE THE RAID UPON PORT GIBSON AND. WHAT CAUSED IT. Plfrr Aristocratic Sewtfcera Glrla Were Taken aa Frlasaern ff War ui'Were Carrie t Vlckafcara; aa There Held, aa Heatasrea. "I was mixed up In one little unre corded event of the civil war," said General B., "that was interesting from its very unusualness, and which, as I look back upon It, seems strangely pic turesque. We were attached to what was known as the marine brigade, a lit tle fleet of 12 'Unclad' river steamboats that plied up and down the Mississippi river after the surrender of Vicksburg. The term tlneiad,' by the way. Is some what misleading, as It Is not remotely connected with the white metal, but sig nifies rather boats heavily planked with oak for the purpose of protecting them somewhat from the ravages of bullets. "One day our little battalion of four companies was ordered to steam down the river, disembark at Rodney, march to Port Gibson and there consult seal ed orders iu regard to further proceed ings. Imagine our surprise upon read ing the Instructions that we were ex pected to capture and carry back to Vicksburg as prisoners 50 of the most aristocratic Confederate young women In the city. However, we had served long enough to obey orders without question, and, provided with guides fa miliar with the town, we set about our bizarre and not too agreeable task. We first established headquarters at the residence of a prominent Confederate judge. "Then dlCerent squads were sent out to call at the homes of the young wom en and escort them to the place of ren dezvous. The Instructions were that they must report at headquarters with in two hours on penalty of their family resldeuce being burped to the ground. The only Information we could give them (the whole transaction was as much a mystery to us as to them) was that they were to be taken to Vicks burg as prisoners of war, but were on no account to suffer any discomfort or Indignity. "Of course, there was great weeping, walling and gnashing of teeth from tender mothers, loving sisters and Irate fathers and brothers. But the Incident had to be accepted as belonging to the fortunes of war, and at the end of two hours 49 of the 50, attended by anx ious friends and relatives, were at the rendezvous. Mercy was Implored for one delinquent An additional hour was granted, an 1, at their own suggestion, several of the young women were dis patched to her home to persuade her to follow their example In gracefully submitting to the Inevitable. The result was that before the hour was up the last fair prisoner had put in an appear ance, though In a very defiant mood. "Our troubles, however, by no means ended here. Indeed, they were hardly fairly begun. The next question was bow to transport our beautiful captives to Rodney, a distance of some 20 miles, over roads that were In a frightful con dition from the devastation of war and consequent neglect All the good horses, too, like all the good men, were off to the war, and as for carriages, they had most decidedly fallen Into a state of Innocuous desuetude. "There was obviously nothing for us to do, therefore, but to gather together all the broken down old horses and di lapidated vehicles In the vicinity. which we somehow managed to hitch together with plow harnesses, bits of rope, straps, etc. With these Improvised coaches, drawn op Into line, began the process of loading on our victims, and when they were all stowed away It was a mstley looking procession, I cam . ... assure you.

Most C them had friends In the town with whom they chose to remain, and suit able quarters were found for the rest. "The reas for the whole transac tion then transpired. It seemed that some northern young women school teachers had been taken prisoners by the Confederates and were at that mo ment la their camps, where they were forced to wash and mend for the sol diers and perform other menial serv ices. These Confederate young women were, therefore, to be held as hostages until the northern women were re leased. There was little delay In the ex change, and we had our' visitors In Vicksburg only 30 days. They were, however, very gay. delightful days. Yankee officers and Confederate maid ens Intermingled socially, and the ac quaintance so rudely forced upon the beautiful southerners proved in some Instances a mutual pleasure. 1 could. Indeed, point to more than one roman tic marriage that was the direct out come of our raid upon Port Gibson." Washington Times. SECRET OF BRIGHT COLORS. Pays Dearly Far a aaashlae Trick. In speaking to the writer about the favorable Influence that fine weather has upon the production of bright and delicately shaded dyes and colors, a famous English manufacturer of carmine recently said: "Some years ago I was aware of the superiority of the French carmine, and, being anxious to Improve upon my own process, I went to Lyons and bargained with the most celebrated manufacturer In that city for the acquisition of his secret, for which I was to pay $5,000. "Well, I was shown all the process and saw a most beautiful color pro duced, but I noticed that there was not the least difference In the French mode of fabrication and that which I con stantly adopted myself. I thereupon appealed to my instructor and Insist ed that he must have kept some secret concealed. The man assured me he had not and asked me to Inspect the proc ess a second time. I accepted the In vitation, and after I had minutely ex amined the water and the materials, which were In every respect similar to my own, I still felt so much in the dark that I said, 'I have lost both my labor and money, for the air of England does not admit us to make good carmine.' " 'Stay!' said the Frenchman. 'Don't deceive yourself. What kind of weather Is It nowr " 4A bright and sunny day,' I replied. "'And such are the days,' said the Frenchman, 'on which I make my col or. Were I to attempt to manufacture It on a dark and cloudy day my results would be the same as yours. Let me advise you, my friend, only to make your carmine on bright, sunny days.' "The moral of this," continued the Englishman, "will apply quite as well to the making of many other colors used In manufactures, and also in the fine arts, for it illustrates Iu a practical way the chemical Influence of light upon certain coloring compounds or mixtures." Washington Star. A PECULIAR 6PIDER. e Catehea Blraa aa Bin; aa Larka la Hla Maansneth Web. Far up in the mountains of Ceylon there Is a spider that spins a web like bright yellowish silk, the central net of which Is five feet In diameter, while the supporting lines, or guys, as they are called, measure sometimes 10 or 12 feet and, riding quickly In the early morning, you may dash right into It, the stout threads twining round your face like a lace veil, while, as the creature who has woven It takes up his position In the middle, he generally catches yon right In the nose, and, though he seldom bites or stings, the contact of his large body and long legs Is anything but pleasant If you forget yourself and try to catch him, bite he will, and, though not venomous, his jaws are as powerful as a bird's beak, and you are not likely to forget the en counter. The bodies of these spiders are very handsomely decorated, being bright gold or scarlet underneath, while the upper part Is covered with the most delicate slate colored fur. So strong are the webs that birds the size of kirks are frequently caught therein, and even the small but powerful scaly lizard falls a victim. A writer says that he has often sat and watched the yel low monster measuring, when waitlug for his prey, with his legs stretched out fully six Inches striding across the middle of the net and noted the rapid manner In which be winds his stout threads round the unfortunate captive. He usually throws the colls about the head until the wretched victim is first blinded and then choked. In many unfrequented dark nooks of the jungle you come across most perfect skeletons of small birds caught In these terrible snares. Pittsburg Dispatch. Treatlaa; laaeaaala. So many people suffer from insomnia nowadays that it Is a wonder they do not adopt the time honored custom of Frenchr kings and Indeed of our an cestors generally, the "en cas" by the bedside, the meal of fruit or bread and cokl chicken, put ready In case of wakefulness. Many a merry little meal might be. eaten In the middle of the night, when thoughts crowd on the mind and care sits heavy. It is the wakeful digestion that claims its due and clamors to be fed. Our forefa thers were wise, and many a hunter after old furniture knows the quaint little cupboard with a grated door which served for the night meal and is now sometimes labeled a cheese cup board. A bedside book Is of no use when the pangs of hunger make for mastery, but with a book and a "snack" one can contrive to pass some pleasant hours, even when sleep does not touch one's eyelids and the sweet boon of unconsciousness evades one's grasp.

The nests of the little swift (a kind of swallow), gathered along the rocky cliffs with so much difficulty and yet hi such quantities en account of the Chinese demand, are formed of a salivary secretion which soon becomes firm on exposure to the air. It Is a glutinous white substance with little red dots. They are clean, the nests being taken as soon as completed. The little swift, being repeatedly robbed, is at last compelled to eke out Its waning supply of secretion with little sticks and grass and Is thus enabled to lay Its eggs and hatch Its young, as only JJJJ m-i T" free from foreign material are merchantable.

A child that is reared amid pleasant surroundings and whose mind Is filled with, pleasant thoughts, will have a pleasing! face. The shape of the nose and chin will depend entirely upon the strength and character of the mental faculties. At 10 a boy's nose may be small -and turned up at the end, at 15 it may have grown larger and be straight and at 25 It may be pronounced Roman. It all de pends upon his mind. The Romans had big noses with high bridges because they- were a steady and determined race of people. Sturdi ness and determination will give a man a Roman nose, no matter how little or how snubby bis proboscis may have been when he was born. The Greeks had straight, delicate, finely chiseled noses because their tastes are artistic and poetic. You never saw a poet or an artist with a Roman 'or snub nose, did you? On the other hand. It would be hard to find a great general who had not a Roman nose. Get pictures of Alexan der the Great. Napoleon, Welllugton, Washington or Grant and see If they have not all got big, strong noses of the Romanesque type. Yet it is quite safe to say that if we could have por traits of all these personages.- taken In infancy, we would find their olfactory organs little pudgy affairs, like those of the common run of babies. These men were not great generals because they had Roman noses; they had Ro mau noses liecause they were great generals. San Francisco Bulletin. There and Here.
