The most successful and extensive matrimonial bureau that I am aware of has been conducted for thirty yeats by Fred Harvey, who manages the hotels and eating houses on the Santa Fe railroad in the Southwest. Hund reds of the happiest wives in that part of the country were brought out by him as waitresses in his hotels and res taurants. He has always made it a rule to employ none but good looking, modest and intelligent young women. and dresses them in a tasteful and attractive manner. Most of them come from Michigan, where they are selected by a woman of experience who has remarkable talent for analyzing character. She is kept busy, however, because such attractive girls as she sends out seldom remain in Mr. Har vey employ mure 'than six months. Most of them receive a proposal of marriage and sometimes two the first week after their arrival. William E. Curtis. According to the Topeka Capital, its brand of reform has cost the state of Kansas a few dollars lees than a million a year. The state taxes this year, according to this apostle of reform, foot up a total of $934,638 05 more. than they were last year. In other words, it cost Kansas practically a million dollars more to have a genu ine preform legislature, and a full fledged reform governor, than it cost us to have a half-baked reform legisla ture) d Governor Hoch. The ques tion that the taxpayers will naturally ask themselves is whether Governor Stubbsis worth a million a year more to the state than Governor Hoch was. There is no excuse to be offered by or for an administration, county, state or national, that will accept office under a pledge of cuttiug down expenses, and then pass laws creating expensive boards and increasing expenditures everywhere until the people are bur dened with a million dollars in extra taxes. Lawrence Gazette. In an address before the National Negro Business League, recently held in Louisville Booker Washington said: "When the league began its work there were few drug stores own ed or controlled by black people. Now we have nearly two hundred. A few years ago there were only half a dozen negro banks in the country. Now there are forty-seven. Drygoods stores, grocery stores and industrial enterprises to the number of over ten thousand have sprung up in all parts ofthe country. A little more than forty years ago when the negro was made Tree, he had almost no acres of land. Now he has an acreage almost as large as New England. Then he had almost no homes, how he has 400, 000. homes. Then he had few farms, aow he has 200,000 farms. Then he had no insurance company, now he has eighty-five. Then he had no under takers, now he has several thousand. When the America negro was made free only about 3 per cent could read and write. Now 57 per cent can both read and write. Then he had few churches, bow he has 26,000 churches." FAIREST OF ALL TAXES. The fairest of all taxes, and proba bly the least popular, is the income tax. Its incidence can be sufficiently dis tributed so that it shall not press un duly upon the shoulders of any parti cular class. It is far superior to our . state property tax, and the collection of it in England has shown that the possibilities of evading it are relatively all. Next to the income tax, pro bably the fairest method of collecting reveaue is by, import duties, placed) where their burden can be easiest borne mad will -be least likely to affect the nation' productive capacity. Taxes wpon real estate values would probably come next, and these tend to distribute their harden; although by no means to the.extsHiof taxes upon income or daties apon imports. (Wall Street Jwaxaaf.) LENGTHENING LIFE. Sometime ago the life-insurance companies announced that they would inaugurate a campaign of education for the purpose of lengthening life. Of course their ultimate object is fin ancial gain, but that makes their ad vice no less valuable to those who en joy living. The first bulletin along this line has beeq issued by the Provid ent Savings Life Assurance society, of New York. It is worthy of the atten tion of many that the first advice in this first bulletin is not to worry. The three great causes of degentrative dis eases are given as intemperance, poi soning and heredity. By intemperan ce is meant all forms of excesses, whe ther in eating, drinking, working or playing. Are you temperate? Tea, coffee, tobacco and alcohol are' listed among the poisons, and there is a warning against the use of soda foun tain products. Poisoning may also re sult from excess in some particular article of diet, or from general overeat ing. Do you poison yourself, and wonder that you don't feel belter? Again, in closing, the bulletin indi cates the influence of mind Oh the body by saying: "Keep your temper, Ie patient, and avoid needless excitement and nervous strain." Most of this ad vice is easy of application, and means more years, and happier years. Sure ly it is worth the effort. Atchison Globe. WHEN WITCHES WROUGHT. Salem, Mass., is always connected readily with the memory of innocent persons executed as witches. But this colonial town had no monopoly on those outrages, which were common enough throughout the world during the 17th century. The life of the early colonists of New England was such as to give rapid growth to the doctrine of possession by devils brought from the old world. The Indians were believed by many to be children of Satan, and many thought the wild beasts were sent by the powers of evil to torment the elect. The theology of the time was of a gloomy srt, and its interpretation by leaders of the church was the greatest cause of the trouble. An impetus was given to the belief in witchcraft by books by learned men. At first these works were imported from Europe, and then the colonial clergy fell in line and wrote similar books of their owu. By the latter part of the 17th century these influ ences were at work among the com mon people, and cases of "possession" were reported at Boston, Springfield, Hartford, Groton and other colonial towns, followed at times by death sentences. In the vear 1684, Increase Mather published a book, "Remarkable Prov idences," laying stress upon diabolic possession and witchcraft. This book was approved in England, which added to its power in the colonies. In 1688 a poor family of Boston was afflicted by demons; four children, the eldest thirteen years of age, began leaping and barking like dogs, or purring like cats, and complained of being pinched, pricked and cut. To relieve matters, an old Irish woman was accused and executed. But the greatest single influence in this evil course was Cotton Mather, son of Increase, a strong man of great ability and piety. This man was in terested in his flock, and he seemed far in advance of his time in accepting many ofthe works of science, such as Newtonian astronomy, and innocula tion to prevent disease. But he clung to the witchcraft theories of his father and others, and his acceptance wielded power. He also published a book on "Memorable Providences," and recom mended his work to the ministers of the colonies. Out of all these causes, and particularly from the latter, came the worst outbreak of possessions and executions in Salem. The Rev. Samuel Parris was the minister of the church of Salem. He was possessed of high ideas of his own infallibility, and had also a love of ceremony, of prying and spying into the affairs of others. Parris had trouble with some of his parishoners who objected to his ways. ' There were quarrels in his church, and some of the accusations doubtless grew out of these. Two girls in the family of Mr. Parris first became possessed, and these placed the blame on an old auuuuj wuujwj. iur. rams imme diately summoned two magistrates. The Indian woman was flogged until she confessed, and other accusations followed.and other confessions, brought about by torture of one kind and another. At first the charges wire mostly against poor and vagrant oM women, whose executions followed but, emboldened by their success, they attacked larger game, struck at orne of the leading people of the commu nity, and did not cease until some of- these had been condemned to death. In mo6t of these cases frenzy was mixed with trickery. There was method in their madness. Many of the witches had been engaged in a controversy, with the Salem church people. Others of the accused had quarreled with persons more or less closely connected with those bringing the accusation. The accusers were usually girls or women. One of 'the most fearful charges was brought against a lovable woman, who losfhef life apparently for no other reasom than that she lived and dressed a little better than her accuser. There was almost as much revenge as fanaticism in the whole affair. And it was par ticularly dangerous to champion the cause of the accused. For taking the part of wife or mother, husbanda and children were brought to the gallows. One poor old woman was charged with "giving a look toward the great meeting house of Salem, and imme diately a demon entered the house and tore down part of it." This cause for the falling of a bit of poorly nailed wainscoating was readily accepted by the judge and jury, as well as by the great Cotton Mather, and the woman was hanged, protesting her innocence. The Rev. Mr. Burroughs, who had led a blameless life, and taken little part in the clamor of witchcraft, was accus ed, convicted and executed. On the scaffold he repeated the Lord's prayer solemnly and fully, something it was believed no sorcerer could do, and this went far toward shaking the belief of many in diabolic possession. In the case of Giles Corey, 30 years old, the persecution and ton u re to force confession were carried to the limit, for he refused to confess, thus saving the property of his family from confiscation. He was pressed to death, and when, in his last agonies, his tongue was pressed out of his mouth, the sheriff with his walking stick thrust it back again. There followed numerous other con victions and executions by the whole sale, sometimes as many as eight being hauled to the gallows at one time. Such preachers as Noyes, Parris and Mather, and such judges as Stoughton and Haiborn, left nothing undone that could stimulate these proceedings. To Robert Calef, a Boston business man, is due in great measure the lift ing of the reign of terror brought on by witchcraft. His reason was un diramed, and he wasn't afraid of Mather. Other people of less ability were beginniug to see more clearly, and he helped them. Mather and Parris were placed upon the defensive. The party of reason increased. Some of the M!sesed confessed they had accused victims wrongfully. Some of the jurymen prominent in convictions solemnly retracted their verdicts, and craved the pardon of God and man. The church of Salem solemnly revoked the excommunications of the con demned, and drove Mr. Parris from the parish. Cotton Mather was a beaten man, but he did not change his distorted views, and spent his last days iu groauing over the decline of faith, and the ingratitude of the people for whom he had done so much. Robert Calef had written a book along reasonable lines attacking the belief in possession, and this was accepted by English publishers who refused to print more of Cotton Mather's books. It was a step in the world's enlighten ment. Atchison Globe. According to the Grand Island In dependent, the recent chautauqua as sembly in that city lacked several hundred dollars of taking in enough money to pay expenses. This year's assembly was the third in the history of Grand Island, and the initial one is the only one that scored a financial success. The Independent attributes the cause of waning interest and at tendance to the policy of using the chautauqua as a means of advancing prohibition views without giving the reverse side of the question equal op portunity in the course of programs. As a result, the paper says many li cense people, who represent a consider able majority in Grand Island, with drew their patronage. Beatrice Ex press. "American Beauty" Rose. The true name of what Is now called the American Beauty rose Is the Mme. Ferdinand Jamain. The name American Beauty was given to this magnificent bloom by Field Bros, of Washington. Why It should have been renamed no one now can tell, although It is Supposed that it was done in a measure to add to Its popularity. The renaming of It la said to have been accidental In part.

Mr be ft STRANGE The romantic friendship that exist ed Wtweea Disraeli and Mrs. Will yuins, of Torquay, Cornwall, is little known, hot worth recording. . It seems that' about the year 1849,. Disraeli began to receive letters from an unknown admirer, who expressed a great desire'for an interview on "most important business." All public men, especially if they have the brilliant dramatic qualities of Disraeli, receive such letters. The sensitive, artistic, neurotic female who is ill-appreciated in her own heme, and whose soul yearns for a "higher com panionship," is numerous. Disraeli's secretary used to take care of such letters with a gentle explana tion that the chief was out of town, but upon his return, etc., etc, and that was the last of it. But this Torquay correspondent was insistent, and finally a letter came from her saying that she had come to Lon don on purpose to meet her lord and master, and would await him at a seat just east of the fountain in the Crystal Palace at a certain hour. Disraeli read the missive with im patience the idea of his meeting an unknown woman in this fish-monger manner at a hurdy-gurdy show! He tossed the letter into the fire. The next day another letter came expressing much regret that he had not kept the appointment, but saying she would await him at the same place the following day, and begging him, aa the matter was very urgent, not to fail her. Disraeli smiled and showed the let ter to his wife. She advised him to go. When his wife said he had better do a thing, he usually did it; and so he ordered his carriage and went to meet the impressionable lady of unknown age, and condition at the seat just east ofthe fountain. It was a silly thing for the leading member of Parliament to do to make an assignation in a public place with a fool-woman all London might be laughing at him to-morrow! He was on the point of turniLg back. But he reached the fountain, and there was his Destiny awaiting him.' She was a little woman in window's weeds, black lace mitts and felt shoes. She lifted her veil and revealed a face furrowed with years of experience, but kindly. She was agitated she really did not expect him and the great man gave a sigh of relief when he saw that no flashily dressed peroxide of odium had entrapped him. Even if people stared at England's great statesman sitting there on a pie- beian bench it made no difference, In half pity heshook hands with the; as washer wish, with Benjamin Dis passive little old woman. Then hejraeli. Lord Privy Seal, EarlBea- sat down beside her, calmed her agi tation, spoke about Cornwall and the weather, and inquired what he could do for her. A rambling talk about nothing fol lowed, and Disraeli was sure it was just a mild case of lunacy. As he arose to go the woman hand ed him an envelope, saying she had written out her case and begged him to read the letter when he had time. The man was preoccupied. His mind was centered on great af fairs of State. He simply crushed the NEWSPAPERS AND CRIME. Amon? the standard criticisms is one that the newspapers devote a pre ponderant part of their space to scan dal and crime. The pulpit, as if in waves, says the Toledo Blade, levels attacks upon the press. Sociologists devote long chapters of their books to the subject. Lecturers and writers of various prominence and degree of abil ity have warmed up at thought of mischief. A defense of the newspapers has now come from a source of authority. Arthur L. Street, for sixteen years a professional indexer of current litera ture, read-all the leading newspapers of the country last year for the pur pose of gaining comparative statistics of news items. The result will snr prise newspaper critics as they gratify newspaper editors. Mr. Street's total records cover 35,000 items of news, only those being considered which were given proaunence in big type or are placed in positions where they would attract the eyes of the readers. Mr. Street's report shows that: There were six times aa many items referring to public leaders and import ant business men as to all the notori au crimes and scandals. The Thaw case appeared in the leading papers 139 times. Germany and threat Britain were mentioned more than 300 times. Russia, 295 times, Japan, 283; France, 143, and China, 133. A little over 1,300 crimes and scandals were given prominent position. In the same position appeared 397 educa- LOVE AFFAIR letter foots aid pocket of his over coat, bade the wotjeaa a dignified good day and turned away. It was a moat before he found the letter, all crumbled and soiled, there where he had placed it He really had forgotten where it came from. TheCTYelGpe-WTasopenedrand out dropped a crisp:Bank of England note for one thousand'pounds. This money was to pay for certain legal advice, the' letter said. The advice was of a trivial nature, and Disraeli, always conscientious in money matters, hastened to return the money in person- and gave the advice gratis. Ah! the lady had won. He had come to her. He remained an hour. He held her hand at parting. And this was all she wanted. She wanted to see him at close range to hear him talk just to her to her alone. Letters followed, and this developed into a daily correspondence, wherein the old lady revealed the story of her passion a passion as delicate, earnest and all-devouring as ever a girl of twenty knew. Insane, you say. Well, ah, er yes. But then, love is illusion, perhaps life is illusion, a very beautiful rain bow, and why old folks should not be allowed to chase a rainbow or allow sweet emotion to gurgle gleefully un der their lee a bit ai well as young folks I do not know. Then, really, is love simply a physi cal manifestation or a soul emotion, and do spirit grow old? If so, where then is our belief in the immortality ofthe soul? Mrs. Willyums was childless, had been a widow, was rich and her heart had been in the grave until she began to trace the record of Disraeli. She was a reclue. She read, studied, fed on Disraeli, She loved him. After several years of dreaming and planning she had actually bagged the quarry. She was a woman of educa tion and ideas. Her letters were in teresting and Disraeli's letters to her, now published, reveal the history of his daily life as he never told it to an other. At her death the bulk of Mrs. Willyum's fortune something like forty thousand pounds went by will to Disraeli. j But Mrs. Disraeli was not jealous of this affection. Why should a woman of sixty be jealous of another woman the same age? They pooled their love and grew rich together in recounting it Presents were going backward and forward all the time between Disraeli's ; country home and Torquay. Mrs. Willyums finally went to Hugheeden, Disraeli's home. There died, and there she sleeps, side bv side. eonsfield, of Beaconsfield; Viscount Hughenden, of Hughenden. And the reason the ex-Premier was not buried in Westminster Abbey was because he had promised these two women that even death should not se parate them from him. So there under the spreading oaks, in this out-of-the-way country place, they rest these three side by side, and the sighing breeze tells and tells again to the twittering birds in the branches of this strange love afiair.
