Roosevelt Afraid the Handsome New Tabie Service Will Not Ar- rive in Time for State Dinner. | Some anxiety is felt by Mrs. Roose- velt lest the new china ordered may | not arrive in time for use at the cab- inet dinner on December 18. A few pieces as samples are already here, and, while the best taste has been exercised in ordering it, there has never been a simpler set bought fer the white house. Since her return to Washington Mrs. Roosevelt has had verified the inventory of white house china made by Col. Bingham. The Lincoln china is the oldest and most valuable now in the collection, and, as it was never haif so large or expensive as the Hayes set, which is the most’elab- orate ever bought, there are but few of it left. This ware has a border, and an eagle in the cen- » and there are 104 plates of vari- ous sizes, seven meat platters, six fish platters, and a few other pieces. President Johnson seemed to find enough dishes, for he bought noth- ing new whatever for the white house. President Grant ordered new dishes, and for the sake of variety had them with painted centers and yellow borders. There are but few pieces of this ware left. President Arthur purchased but two dozen des- sert plates, some Dresden after din- ner coffees, and a few other small pieces. President Cleveland ordered dishes with a lavish hand, and in what is known as the Cleveland collection there are nearly a thousand plates of various shapes and kinds, besides / 190 teacups and as many after-dinner Ips and saucers. Not having plates enough on hand: with about 1,000 of the Cleveland collection, besides hun- dreds of others, President Harrison ordered 300 or 400 more. A_ grent many odd dishes were ordered hy President McKinley, but he consid- ered that there were about enough plates, for there are but few, in the McKinley collection, PLAN A COSTLY CHURCH. Catholics Would Bulld a Holy Sect in New York Cit Cost 820,000,000, Catholic clergymen are advocating the building in New York city of the ‘rygest and most magnificent house if worship in the world, to cost $20,000,000. Prominent priests claim to believe that within the next few years the holy see may be moved The possi bility of such a change is offered as an argument in favor of building a great church, The plans for the church were drawn by Rev. Father Bouillon, canon of the Catholic cathedral at Ottawa, Ont. He is at present a guest of the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, in Brooklyn. The plans contemplate an edifice more beautiful than the fa- mous St. Sophia, of Gonstantinople, and more spacious than St. Peter's. Father Lettelier, of the Church of St. h hn the Bantist, and Father TRean- - (a of the Dominican church, are pushing the plans. The style of architecture proposed modern Roman, with all the sub- stantial effects possible, but in the rise to the dome the light and airy appearance of Byzantine style is se- cured, In shape the plans provide for a cruciform structure 550 feet long and 450 feet across the tran- septs. The height is 450 feet from the pavement to the tip of the cross surmounting the ball on the dome. ——The hall is large enough to contain 30 persons. A STUDIO IN CHURCH. New York Artist and His Wife to Re- side and Work Where Famous Pastor Once Preached. >. ' &.. and Mrs. Francis Michaels Ton- i etti, happily mated sculptors, have planned to make a former noted church of New York their residence and stwiio. Where once stood the pulpit beside which Rev. Dr. Burchard uttered his famous epigram: “Rum, Romanism and Rebellion,” during the ~Blaine-Cleveland presidential cam- paign of 1884, the artists will in- stall their automobile, making the place a stable between runs. Mr. and Mrs. Tonetti expect to be resid- ing in their new quarters before the beginning of the new year. The facade has been enhanced by the addition of a mansard roof, in which are three dormer windows. An elaborate cornice has been added, but the churchly aspect of the structure fs still readily apparent. Floors have been built in and a five-story house thus obtained. : In what was formerly the Sunday 001 room on the ground floor do- hie offices have been laid out. rough the main entrance is a ‘driveway of generous width com- municating with the stable in the rear. On the upper floors will be a studio and above these again the liv- ing apartments. Ratlro Open Up the Great West.

Story Herself and It | Hutchins: a Cele- Whe At- -® Professionally. bi * Te er tenwes Dr.” Hutchinson, the * American | aurist, whose treatment greatly | helped Queen Alexandra's hearing | when he was at London, is the sub- ject of a story which is greatly amus- | ing British court circles and which must have been first told by the queen herself. The story is told substantially thus: Dr. Hutchinson was summoned to Buckingham palace often during the the summer, and after a short time a warm friendship for him was mani- fested by his royal patient. So great was the interest evinced in the young man and his wife that queen insisted on knowing all about their baby, and asked for a picture of the child. Baby was only a week old when its father left the United States, so the doctor wrote hastily to his wife, who at that time was staying down in Alabama with her | own people, where the heat was al- most. unbearable, She replied to him: “Do you think for a minute that T would risk the precious baby's health by dragging it out in all this heat to have a photograph taken? Not hy a good bit., I'm sorry to keep the queen waiting, but you just tell her we live down in Alabama, where it is as hot as blazes, and that we are out in the country a long distance from a picture gallery.” Some time afterward the queen de- manded: “Well, what about the pho- tograph? When am T to see what your baby looks like?” Tt was an awful moment for the doctor, THe saw he could but tell the truth, so he told it. Her majesty laughed, was actnally pleased, and “You've got a wife, and T hope you appreciate the fact. She is quite right. Under no cireum- stances should a baby be taken out in heat.

SCARLET FEVER CURE. Quebee Doctor Claims That He Has Discovered the Seram That Will Kil the Disease. Steps of great !mportance in the treatment of scarlet fever have been made by Dr. G. A. Charlton, until re- cently resident in charge of the civic hospital and now Rockefeller fellow of pathology in the medical faculty of McGill university, at Montreal. Dr. Charlton claims to have independent- ly discovered methods which promise to reduce the terrors of scarlet fever as completely as intitoxin has done in the case of diphtheria. Dr. Charlton states there is a mi- crocosm in the system of patients suffering from severe forms of scar- let fever known as the streptococcus, It is not the exciting cause of the disease, and is not present in the light cases, but it seems to lead to a secondary infection when once the disease has been contracted, and to be largely responsible for the high. fever, the suppuration of the ear and other dangerous symptoms associated with the complaint. This organism Dr. Chariton has combated with a serum prepared mn- der the direction of Dr. Hubbert, of Detroit, 2 its suecess may he judged hy the fact that of 15 severe cases, most of which would wnder or- dinary treatment have enced fatally or at least have suffe lingering and troublesome complications, 13 made prompt recoveries almost free from comp MANY “BAD SPELLERS.” Universities of the Courtry Expecial- ly Weak in This Direction—How the Institutions Stand. Northwestern uaiversity is not the only college with students who are bad spellers. Representatives of ten other universities were to enumerate the percentage of bad spellers in their respective institutions, assign causes and remedies for the prevalence of bad spelling and also to determine the rela- tive importance of proper spelling in & man's education. Computing on the basis of the answers, the standard of speHing at the ten seats of learning is as follows: Of bad spellers Princeton has a per- centage of ten; University of Minne- sota, 30; University of Illingsis, 20; the spelling standard at Cornell is “high;” at Columbia's school of applied sci- ence, “atrocious;” at the Massachu- setts school of technology the percent- age of bad spellers is .“large;” at Brown university it is not so large as in the entering class of Northwestern, At Yale the stancardis“high,” at Wes- leyan and the University of Michigan it is “fair.” a et migration to the west that makes Horace Greeley’s famous piece of ad- ary to young men seem quite need- $ in this present day. so : Awto an Aid to-Astronomy.

Exports of Manoafactures from United States Present a Most Satisfactory Growth, Exports of manufactures from the United States in nine months ending with September, 1902, are larger than any other year in the history of the country, with the single exception of 1900. The total for the nine months is $311,302,441, against $298.660.551 in the corresponding months of last year and = $338,678,243 in the corre- sponding months of 1900. Comparing 1902 with 1892 the in- crease is nearly 200 per cent., the fig ures of 1892 being $111.290.024, while comparing 1902 with 1888 the growth in nine months’ importations of man- ufactures is from $99,840,074 to $311,= 302,441, The following table, prepared hy the bureau of statistics, shows the total of manufactures exported in nine months of each year from 1888 to 1902: 7 Improved Gun for the Army. Brig. Gen. William Crozier, chief of the bureau of ordnance, in his annual report to the secretary of war says the improved army rifle has been com- pleted and tried with satisfactory re- sults. The rod bayonet is a feature of the new rifle. It lightens the weight of the gun and dispenses with the bayonet and bayonet scabbard now in use, and in the place of which intrenching tools may be carried by the soldier. The new piece weighs but a little less than 914 pounds, con- siderably lighter than the German and Mauser, yet has greater velocity and greater penetration. Fame for Girl Anthor. Miss Dorothy Menpes has won fame ithor in- England, She is the daughter of Mortimer Menpes, the well-known artist. Mr. Menpes has distinguished himself in many ways, as a painter, as anetchet and as a war coirespondent. He has held many exhibitions of his paintings i in Bond street and has published a- number of books. Toa recent volume | by Mr. Menpes, beantifully illustrated | ¢ that he has been trying to, see it and the French never tire of | in colors, Miss Dorothy Menpes, who | is only 16 years of age, has contrib- uted the letter press, WIFE ACCUSED OF HUSBAND'S MURDER. She Said a Night Intruder Shot Him While He Slept. David City, Neb , Dec. 25.—County , Attorney A. M. Walling has fileda complaint of murder in the first de- gree against Mrs Lena M. Lillie, charging her with the murder on Oct. 24, of her husband, Harvey Lil- lie, a wealthy lumber dealer. She was arrested, pleaded not guilty and her bond of $2000 was furnished by her father, James Hill. The preliminary hearing will be had Monday. Mrs. Lillie wept when ar- rested, The murder of Mr. Lillie is one of the most mysterious crimes ever early in the morning while lying in bed. The ball entered his head and he died without regaining conscious- 1 ess, Mrs, Lillie stated that she was awakened by a pistolshot that killed her husband and saw a man stand- ing by the bed pointing the revolver at her, She rolled to the floor just as he fired. The bullet passed through the win- dow and lodged in the barn door 200 feet away, The man then ran away downstairs and disappeared, The murderer, before hecommitted the crime, stole $300 in east and $500 in notes from Mrs, Lillie’s purse and $70 from her husband's trous ers, An inquest failed to throw any light on the crime, but it revealed the fact that Mrs, Lillie had dealt extensively with a local “bucket shop.” The manager testified that since Augusty 1902, she had lost $1300, The fact that Mr. Lillie carried to his wife led to the suspicion that she had committed the crime to ob- tain the insurance. There Was No Choice. Cleveland Plain Dealer, A distressing story comes to us from a Kansas town. It.concerns a certain club of bachelor maids and an unmarried youth. The latter isa good looking youngster, and clever enough to be considered an excellent catch from the matrimonial point of view. It further appears that the young clubwomen so frequently ral- lied him upon his single wretchedness that presently, being a youth of spirit, he prompty offered the mem- ber of the club who proved to be the choice of the other members for mat- rimonial honors. Mark the result and note the keen knowledge of feminine human nature possessed by the uncanny youth. There was nine members of the or- ganization, and at the next meeting each girl secretly wrote her choice on a scrap of paper and carefully slipped it-into- the ballot-box> And, of Cotirse there was just one vote for each girl. Such coincidences have occurred be- fore, but the fact had nhoameliorating effect upon the nine club members, The youth, no doubt, smiles ina superior way and metaphorically applauds himself for his Solomonlike shrewdness. It is a painful story, and would be quite beyond credence if it wasn’t for the fact that it is vouched for by an unquestioned Kansas authority. Massacre of Alaska Indians. Victoria, B. C., Dec. 27.—The steamer Amur, which arrived from Skagway to day, brought news of the massacre of Salmon Indians and the murder of a storekeeper whose store was looted and burned by Pelly river Indians. Dispatches from Dawson state that the Little Salmon Indians were on their way out to sell furs when attacked by the Pelly Indians. The Little Salmons were encamped and they awaited the appearance of the Pollys without expecting danger. When the latter were within a short distance of the unsuspecting Little Salmon Indians, they yelled and simultaneously fired their guns. A number of the Little Salmons were slaughtered onthespot. Others were foliowed and killed while fleeing for safety. A smail number of the party escaped. The survivors returned to the home village, and the womenand children were hurried to the police te of insurance payable} CATARREH ; The treatment of Catarrh with antiseptic and astringent washes, lotions, salves, medicated tobacco al or loca and cigarettes or any exte: just as senseless as would be kindling a fire on top of True, these give temporary the pot to make it boil. relief, but the cavitics and passages of bronchial tubes soon fill up again wit Taking cold is the first step towards Catarth, for it isonous acids and vapors which should pass off through the’ skin, are _. 5: thrown back upon the mucous membrane or inner skin, producing inflammation and excessive flow of mucus, ; . much of which is absorbed into the blood, and through the circulation checks perspiration, and the al application, is the head and the h mucus. : ae.
