Roseleaf turned on all the Hghts in her room the other night, polished up her hand- glass and scanned her face. The result pained her. There were two lines encircling her mouth; there were three or four radiat- ing from her eyes and two upright ones in her forehead. She was paler than she liked to be, and, though she would not breathe the loathed word even to herself, she was sallow. Her first act was to fill a basin with| warm water and rub a good deal of soap on a flannel wash-rag. Then she washed | her face and neck thoroughly, vigorously | end softly. Then she bathed it again with bot water, in which a few drops of benzoin had been poured. After that cold cream was worked into every pore of Roseleaf’s face, and she went to bed and slept for ten hours. In the morning she exercised with dumb bells, took a cold sponge bath,washed her face in warm water to remove the srease, and then in cold to harden it, dried | it tenderly and rubbed a little almond meal on it to complete the drying process. For Roseleaf knows that the wrinkle’s most powerful ally is a half-dried condition. After that she ate a hearty breakfast of fruit, whole wheat bread and fish. Then she went out to walk four miles, wearing a thin veil, and then she devoted a little time to her ordinary pursuits. Her luncheon consisted largely of fruit, and her entire family commented in the evening on her resolute refusal of pastry. That is to be Roseleaf’s complexion regi- men for the spring. She will not use cold cream every night, having a wholesome korror of its hair-producing effects, but every other night she will soften her face with it. Benzoin, hot water and almond meal are part of the daily regimen. Diet and exercise take equal rank with unguents and sleep in Roseleaf's scheme, and a weekly massage is expected to help on the good work of benishing wrinkles. —————-se+ ‘The Indian Stil From the Portland Oregonian. A delegation of Snake Indians visited the red men on the Umatilla reservation dur- ing the holidays. When they started for home Young Chief delivered the following eloquent farewell address to his visitors: “We part tonight. Not as before. For once hate was between us. Now there is love. Once war; now peace. Once we swung the tomahawk and aimed the deadly rifle at each other's hearts. Now the pipe of peace we smoke to show that the past is past and buried. In other ways It is dif- ferent. There was a time when some of us lay in ambush against the whites. But we have all put aside the implements of war and cultivate the arts of peace. Our fathers swore eternal vengeance on the paletaces, This was because of the tradition handed us by them of an invasion of trappers and traders who valued not the Indian’s life. They went to the sea, and found their friends at Astoria by the great water, and left some to mourn their Indian dead. But we live side by side with him now, and from the rising to the setting sun we know no foe for whom we would put on the war paint and ride forth, to return with scalps hanging at our belts. Our ponies no more carry us to bloody attack. We own the great father at Washington as our great chief. Him we obey.

HEARTILY GREETED BY MR. GLADSTONE The New Treaty Between Spain and Morocco. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS LONDON, March 6.—Lord Rosebery this afternoon took formal possession of the offices recently occupied by the Right Hon. William E. Gladstone, as prime minister of England. The new premier first visited the chan- eellor of the exchequer, the Right Hon. Sir Wm. Vernon Harcourt, and then passed in to Mr. Gladstone’s rooms, where he was ‘cordially greeted by the ex-premier as his successor. Lord Rosebery afterward drove to his res- idence in Berkeley square, in order to pre- pare for the queen’s drawing room. The Standard makes the following ofti- cial announcement: The Earl of Kimberley will assume the foreign portfolio; the Right Hon. Henry Fowler, the Indian portfolio, and Mr. T. E, Ellis, now a lord of the treasury, will be- come patronage secretary to the treasury, succeeding Mr. Majoribanks, the liberal “whip.” The appointment of Mr. Fowler, who is now president of the local government board, is a surprise, but it is regarded as a@ good one, as he {s well informed on the Snencial questions and difficulties of In- ia. Mr. John Morley has consented to retain his portfolio as chief secretary for ire- land at the urgent request of Lord Rose- bery and others of his colleagues. Lord Rosebery has called a meeting of his party to be held at the foreign office Monday next. The Standard, in an editorial, says: “If tact, soundness and sobriety of judgment and official experience be qualifications, our external relations are likely to be weil man- aged under the Earl of Kimberley. SPAIN AND MOROCCO. Provisions of the Treaty Concluded With the Sultan. MADRID, March 6.—The treaty which Capt. Gen. Martinez Campos has concluded with the Sultan of Morocco for the settle- ment of the trouble at Melilla, provides for sending the offending Riff tribes into the interior. In addition, the chief aggressors will be sentenced to terms of imprison- ment, and the ringleaders of all will be ex- ecuted. Finally, a neutral zone will be es- tablished, its neutrality will be enforced and the Sidi Aguriach mosque, the prox- imity of which to a Spanish fort in course of erection led to the outbreak of hostil- ities, will be encircled by a wall. Pilgrims will continue to be admitted to the mosque. Considering the Russian Treaty. BERLIN, March 6—The committee of the reichstag which is considering the Russo- German commercial treaty rejected today by a vote of 15 to 10 an amendment fix- ing the duration of the treaty at one year and adopted the article with its original- ly fixed term of ten years. Education of the Kaiser's Son. LONDON, March 6.—A dispatch to the Standard from Berlin says: The emperor has bought a villa near the new palace at Potsdam, with extensive grounds reaching to the river Havel, as a residence for the crown prince, who {is not quite twelve years old. The military and general education of, the prince will be continued in this resi- dence until he is prepared to enter the university. The reason that a residence for the prince was chosen in proximity to the river is due to a desire of the emperor that his son receive a naval training. British Shipping at Rio. LONDON, March 6.—A dispatch to the Standard from Liverpool says that in com- piiance With a request made by shipping merchants at Liverpool, Lord Rosebery has telegraphed to the British minister at Rio Janeiro instructing him to arrange with the government and the insurgent forces for a temporary suspension of the firing in order that British ships may be able to leave the port in ballast and escape a visitation of yellow fever.

PARIS, March 6.—Lord Dufferin’s speech made here yesterday evening, in which he declared that the prospects for European peace were even brighter than in 189, has and England. the speech of the British ambassador.

Fannie Desmond, Who Braved Death as a Female Detective. CHICAGO, March 6.—Desertea by her husband, penniless and friendless, Mrs. G. W. Lee, whose marvelous rifle shooting won the plaudits of world’s fair visitors at Buffa- lo Bill's show last summer, now lies at the point of death in the county hospital—de- dependent on Chicago's charity. Only twenty-three years old, Mrs. Lee has seen more sides of life than fall to the lot of most of her sex. Until last summer Mrs. | Lee was Miss Fannie Desmond. Her broth- er is Wm. Desmond, the chief of the St. Louis city detective bureau. Chief Des- mond’s fame has spread beyond the borders of his native city through his successful fighting in breaking up a dangerous gang of Chinese highbinders whose desperate | deeds terrorized for a time the entire city. His sister Fannie was his greatest ald in his struggle with these highbinders. She it | Was on whom the chief relied more than on his oldest and best tried detectives. young girl donned the tattered shirt and disguise mingled free ers. For several months she boldly risked dangers, but her Chinese consorts never once discovered her sex. One night Chief Desmond was informed that his enemies were plotting a conspiracy of more than ordinary danger. The chief knew that it would be useless to ask any of his detectives to ferret out the plot. They would be found out at onve, and discovery meant instant death. As the last resort he appealed to his sister. “Sh¢ did not hesitate a moment. Shé! fedriessly “allowed herself to be lowered through a dirty cual hole at the rear of a well-known joss and gambling house in the heart of “Chinatown.” Care- fully she crawled over the coal and through several dark and loathsome passageways until only a thin and loosely built wooden partition separated her from the conspira- tors. The girl knew the Chinese language thoroughly, and drank in all the details of the murderous plot which the Chinese des- peradoes were discussing. With the evidence secured at this secret council of the highbinders Fannie Desmond became the chief witness in the prosecution of these Occidental cutthroats. When the trial made public these brave deeds Miss Desmond became famous throughout Mis- sour! as the “bootblack detective.” Last summer Miss Desmond, who is a splendid shot with pistol and rifle alike, joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West. She achiev- ed great popularity by the wonderful skin with which she broke glass balls while shooting over her head by the aid of a mir- ror or while riding at full speed on a half- tame@ pony. It was during this engage- ment that she met G. W. Lee, the man who has now deserted her. They became ac- quainted, fell in love and after a few weeks’ courtship were married. The honeymoon lasted until a month ago. Then the poor woman was taken sick with inflammatory rheumatism. Last week her husband deserted her. Her condition rap- idly grew serious. Last night the landlady notified the police and the wasted body of the abandoned wife was carried away to the ccunty hospital. At the hospital it was sail that while her condition {s probably hopeless, her death is not expected for sev- eral days. y with the highbind- ae Mayor Gilroy of New York has left for California. Col.

An Interesting Dot of Solid Land Of the New England Coast. From the Hartford Courant. Tf you want to take the salt air and see the ocean in its season in all its majesty go to Block Island. Out on the ocean, fifteen miles from the nearest land, washed on all sides by the restless waters of the Atlantic, is this sea-girt isle, its territory extending ten miles from east to west and six miles from north to south in its widest place. It is nearly treeless, but, is clad with green- sward. Cattle, sheep and poultry raising are carried on to a large extent, and the raisers supply the markets of Newport and adjacent places. The island is noted for its fisheries. Its fame began back in the dim past of Indian tradition, and its reputation has not lost anything in modern times. Bluefish, codfish, swordfish, sharks, whales and many other kinds of fish are caught here in their sea- son. The value of the island fisheries is something like $100,000 annually. The roads on the island are very bad, but, neverthe- less, the people drive a great deal. The sea views from the various points are fine, and there are numerous places which are inter- esting to visit on account of old Indian le- gends and the traditions of early settlers. The Indian name was Manisses, meaning little god’s island. The Narragansett, Pe- quot and Mohegan Indians lived there at dif- ferent times and were in continued _broils about the ownership. In the year 1690 it had many English settlers, who were con- tinually at war with the Indians. During the wars with France and England pirates used to descend on the island and carry off or destroy everything they could lay their hands on. Capt. Kidd often landed here, loaded his vessels with all the valuables he could find, and stocked his larder with a fresh supply of provisions. Although pro- tection was asked of the general assembly by the inhabitants, they never got It. The general assembly, in all probability, had all it could do to protect itself, and the island- ers had to defend themselves as best they could. When the revolutionary war broke out this small community showed what it was made of. The people placed their lives and property and honor upon the altar of their country as freely as the inhabitants of the colonies, but they fared worst of all. At first they were thoroughly sacked by their mother colony and then left to the tender mercies of the hostile ships of Eng- land. Islanders were forbicden by an en- actment to come to the mainland unless when they intended to settle there, and it seemed that every man’s hand was against them. Refugees, pirates and wreckers ap- pear continually in Block Island’s history, while a romantic company of ghosts, phantom ships, false lights and witch fires illuminate the island chronicles. When the first summer visitors began to go there, about 1845, they found a pecullar people. They were a sturdy, independent class, and could drive a bargain of the sharpest kind. This characteristic they re- tained to the present day, and it will be well to remember the fact when you are doing business with them. The women in olden times left an admirable record, and many of their virtues have been transmitted to their children. The people are simple and quaint. The houses have sharp roofs, slop- ing almost to the ground, and stone chim- neys. The fences are of stone and the gate- ways are of timber from wrecked vessels. The harbor is on the northeast side of the island, where the government some twenty years ago built a stone breakwater running out 1,500 feet in a northeasterly direction, and later added an extension of KW feet running north, making the harbor safe against all winds. At night the harbor is thronged with vessels and boats, and many colored lights are reflected and multiplied in the rippling water, making a beautiful sight. The basin is a Square inclosure in- side of the breakwater, made with piles and planked on the outside. It has a narrow entrance facing the harbor and will accom- modate fifty or sixty small vessels that can He here safely in all winds. Just outside of it and parellel with the breakwater is a large dock to accommodate the big ex- cursion steamers during the summer. On the southeast side of the island, rising 120 feet from the water, stands Mohegan bluff, on which a lighthouse was built in 1875. Its great $1,500 lantern rises 204 feet from the sea. Within the lantern four or five people can stand together. It can be seen in a clear night for twen’ miles. It takes from 1,000 to oil annually to feed it. A few rods to the southeast stands a long white building in which a mighty fog signal is located. It is operated by a steam engine of five or six horse power, and there is a pair of engines always in readiness in case one should break down when needed, The siren is made of iron, shaped like a trumpet, pointing sea- ward. The sound ts created by a small buzzing arrangement in the small end of the trumpet. this it causes the siren to revolve like light- ning, and it makes the fearful din. The light house and dwelling are built of brick with granite trimmings. There are three life-saving stations on the island, one on the harbor, one at the ex- treme west end and one by Mohegan bluff on the southeast side. of work to do in the winter months, as the south shore is a very rocky and dangerous coast and the island lies in the track of all! east and westbound vessels. ‘These shores are lined with the debris of wrecked ves- sels, and many a pcor sailor has found a watery grave on this rocky coast. In years gone by Block Island and No- man’s Land were favorite fishing grounds for our old retired Essex sea captains. The best voyage of their making was some twenty-five years ago in the old famous yacht Admiral, built and owned by several old captains. The Admiral was a keel boat of about twenty tons burden, and as stanch as a ship. Some of the officers and crew on this voyage were Capt. Cornelius R. Doane, Capt. Hillhouse Doane, Capt Gould Stevens, Capt. Orson Tucker, Thomas Williams and Benjamin Mack. They were about two weeks on the voyage, bringing home sixteen swordfish, which would average 200 pounds in weight each. The last one caught was salted in a box on deck, as they had every- thing else full to overflowing. ‘The fish was Just the length of the yacht's cabin--sworl and all fourteen feet. They also caught and brought home some 1,800 mackerel. -ses ELECTRIC WINDMILL PLANTS. ble Sources of Originating Power Open to Inventors, From the Electrical Engineer. The utilization of what are termed the waste forces of nature is steadily pushing itself to the front, and engineers have been compelled to study applications which were scarcely even contemplated ten years ago, The ready means which electricity places in the hands of the engineer have not been overlooked, and as soon as the storage bat- tery became a commercially available ap- paratus a new impetus was given to the realization of long-meditated schemes, The first of these ideas to be taken up Seriously was the transmission of the powrs of waterfalls, the progress in which presents a remarkable record. These powers, from their uniform and steady nature, afforded favorable opportunity, but the intermittent powers of nature, such as the rising and falling tides, the waves, and especially the wind, have up to the present absorbed the attention of but a few fsolated workers, or indeed, enthusiasts, and schemes for their utilization have been looked upon by engi- neers as more in the nature of fads than as legitimate engineering work worthy of close and serious investigation. Leaving out of consideration the utiliza- tion of the tides and waves, it seems worth while to inquire whether the power of the wind cannot be employed for the generation of electric current? We venture to say that few have ever stopped to consider the great and rapidly- increasing number of windmills now in operation and the work they are doing, principally in elevating water for drainage, irrigation and domestic purposes. Their number alone in this country runs into the tens of thousands, and the size and powers called for are constantly increasing. It must be evident, however, that if this method of operation is to come into gen- eral use it must be reduced to the simplest possible arrangement, and to lack of this important feature of simplicity may be at- tributed the reluctance hitherto manifested by manufactuters as well as users to em- bark in this work. The three elements upon which success in this field depends—that is, the windmill, the dynamo and the storage battery—will be conceded to have all ar- rived at that stage which is called commer- cial, so that there can be no further ques- tion as to reliability. The only other factor, then, is the wind itself, and on this point also sufficient data are at hand to base ca}- culations upon. While the maximum and the minimum rate, of course, vary during different hours of the day and with the locality, an average rate of seven and three- quarters miles per hour can be jepended upon in the United States. Near the sea coast and in elevated localities the average rate is much higher, and it is in such situa- tions that we shall probably see the first attempts made to apply the plan. ———— Johnston's coffee exhibit, page 5.—Advt.

The Long Line of Police Court Vic- tims Today—A Lively Fight Be- tween Hard Characters. “Good morning, papa,” was the way in whick Prosecuting Attorney Pugh was greeted when he appeared in court this | morning to prosecute the many persons who participated in Judge Kimball's pro- cession. He had just returned from Allentown, Pa., where he left his wife caring for a seven-] ound daughter, and the happy fath- er wapted every one to know that he had the finest daughter in the world. More than a dozen persons figured in the Procession, and among them were men, wo- men and children of both colors, although the white men were in the majority. “TI ain't guilty and I ain’t ready for trial,” said a well-known negro named William E. Snowden, the first prisoner called. “Why are you not ready for trial?” the court inquired. “I am ready now,” he replied. comes my lawyer now.” “If that w: all the trouble,” explained the court, could have had counsel called long ago. Witnesses from Queen’s alley were called to show that Snowden was called upon to vindicate one of his neighbors of a charge made against her by her acting husband, who was called Sam. It turned out that Sam attempted to use a brick on Snowden, and the latter knocked | him down, Judge Kimball thought he served Sam right and released him. Michael Cavanaugh is a citizen of “Swam- poodle,” whose frequent visits to police sta- tions and the court have made him almost a fixture at these places. He got some money yesterday and celebrated his Liberty by visiting bar rooms and spending his few nickels for “hummers.” y In the afternoon, when he was ured and weary, he stopped at the Interior Depart- ment and took a nap on the steps. Later in the day he was joined by two companions, Edward Rockett and Michael Sullivan, and the trio managed to get liquor enough to put them in fighting humor. Then they reached Seaton Park and gave an athletic contest in advance of the exhibi- tion under the auspices of the Capital City Athletic Club. This contest, however, cost no one a dollar to witness it, and although no serious damage was done, the police took an active interest in the affair and landed ‘the men in the police station. “It was the most disgraceful affair of the Kind I ever saw,” said Policeman Dave | Hamilton. The prisoners stood in the dock with their faces more or less scarred, and their ner- vous condition showed their want of a dose of bromide, such as is given them on the farm. “This is an exceptional case,” said the judge, “‘and the defendants are fined $10 or thirty days each.” Acknowledged Guilt. John Reeder said he was guilty of being disorderly on 12th street, and stepped back in default of fine. “I'm guilty, your honor,” said a young man named Charles H. Boston, against whom there was a charge of disorderly conduct. “If your honor will gife me an op- portunity to do so, I will go down and get the amount of fine.” “Where can you get it?” “At the market.” “Is there anybody here who will vouch for you?” “I don’t see anybody.” “Then you will have to send for the money.” Eddie Chew, a little colored boy, who was arrested for being noisy in an alley, | Was given a trial that lasted more than an | hour, and the court finally settled the af- | fair by imposing a $3 fine. “This is not as a punishment,” said the court, “but merely as a warning.” | The judge said he knew how annoying these crowds are, for there is an alley in |rear of his house, and there is a noisy crowd there. i “Drunk, sir,” answered Mike Irving when ) Questioned by Judge Kimball concerning | j nis former arrest. “I got out of the workhouse last night,” said Mike, “and had 50 cents, not the price of a night’s lodging, and 1 got a few drinks,” Policeman Kelly, whose red whiskers in no way resemble those of the distinguished Senator from Kansas, appeared and told his side of the story. “He did get out yesterday,” said the of- | ficer, “and when I found him last night he | Was engaged in a cursing match with a | park fence.” | “Where do you belong?” the court asked the prisoner. | “In Philadelphia, sir,” was his reply, “and if you let me go I will return home. 1 give you a chance this time. 1 ‘Thanks, your honor,” said the man. “I'll | go right through the town.” Had a Roll. James Lestrange came in from the coun- try yesterday and thought he wouid drink |some of the good liquor he had heard his {neighbors tell about. He had his time, and then Policeman Hay- |hurst had his time. Then the judge had his |time, and, like the man who laugh last, he |had the best time. | Jim, after getting inside of him all the liquid refreshn ts he could, fell on the sidewalk on New York avenue and slept as soundly as a man in a free lodging house. When he appeared this morning he had a bruised face and it was thought he would go down to work on another farm for a few days, but the man said, g‘I've got it if you give me a chance,” afd, iike many women, who appear, he made a dive for his stocking and puiled out a roll of notes. Five colored men, who enjoyed a game of cards in one of Maj. Armes’ houses on Fort Reno, were charged with vagrancy. The prosecution proved that the men were not vagrants, but were hard-working citi- zens. “Here “Dismissed,” said the court, “an act of this kind doesn’t make them vagrants.” Small Prisoners. Willie Smith's uncle referred to him as a poor orphan boy, but the evidence showed that his father, mother and stepmother are living. The boy, who ts about 16 years old, seems to have a fondness for pigeons, and that was what caused his arrest some days ago. Mr. Pugh suggested that the boy be sent to the reform school, but as there was some question as to his age the court sent for more definite information. Jay Martin, a colored boy, arrested for vagrancy, was next called. Lawyer Sillers entered a plea of guilty for him. “He has been hanging about bar rooms, said counsel, ‘and all the officer wants is for him to remain away from them.” The boy made such a promise and the court released him on his own bonds. Charles Dixon admitted that he was guilty and asked for time to pay his fine. Will you pay it one week from today “If the Lord's willing,” was the pris- oner’s answer. “If you get drunk again you can’t pay it. “I won't drink any.” He was given the time asked. Hurt Her Feelings. Laura Williams, a colored woman, wife of a blind man, said she was not drunk last night. “Somebody hurt my feelings,” she said, “and I was crying. “She was drunk,” said Policeman Wha- len, ‘and when I went in the house she wanted to waltz. But when she saw the wagon it took several men to take her.” ‘She is fined $3,"" said the judge. ‘I've only got $2, judge,” said the blind man, “will you take that and trust me for the other dollar till Mcenday? That's every cent I have in the world, and I haven't had y breakfast today. a said the judge, and “Make the fine $2 the woman was released. Several strangers in the city were called and the judge gave them short sentences and advised them to leave the city when they get out. —— Prefe Retirement to Promotion. Lieut. S. W. Nichols was examined at the Navy Department today to determine his fitness for promotion to the grade of Neutenant commander. His case is a pecu- liar one, in that it shows an officer more anxious for retirement than for promotion. He recently applied for retirement on the score of physical disability, but the ex- amining board reported that he is suffering with rheumatism, and that his disability is not permanent. Millions have used Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. lll —=———————SIOO INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. Page 11 -Page 9 -Page 10 -Page 12 -Page 10 -Page 10 CITY ITEMS... Page 8 COUNTRY REAL ESTATE. Page 10 DEATHS.

The art of dwarfing plants is so little JAPAN. known in other lands that a shor: descrip- | tion of its process is given by Garden and Forest. The pines may truly be considered the most important of all trees in Japan, and great care is taken in their cultivation and preservation. They are generally grown from seed and great care is taken to se- lect the choicest quality of seed. In the spring of the second year, when the seed- ings are about eight inches in height, they are staked with bamboo canes and | tied with rice straw, the plants being bent in different desirable shapes. In the next fall they are transplanted to richer soil and are well fertilized. In the following spring the plants are restaked and twist-| Be ed and tied in fanciful forms. This mode of treatment is given until the seventh year, when the trees will have assumed fairly large prdportions, the branches being trained in graceful forms and the foliage like small crowds of dense green. The plants are now taken up and placed in pots one and a half feet in diameter, and are kept well watered every succeeding year; great care must be taken to keep new shoo:s pinched back. After another three years of this treatment the trees are vir- tually dwarfed, there being no growth thereafter. The dwarfing of bamboo is an- other important branch of the Japanese nursery business. A few weeks after the shoots begin to grow, and when the trunks measure about three inches in circumfer- ence and five feet in height, the bark is re- moved, piece by piece, from the joint. After five weeks, when the planis get somewhat stout, the stem is bent and tied in. After three months, when the sid® shoots srow Strong enough, they are all cut off five or six inches from the main trunk: they are then dug up and potted in sand. Care should be taken not to use any fertilizer, but plenty of water should be given. Cut off the large shoots every year in May or June, and after three years the twigs and leaves will presen green tints. ————-+ e+- John Little and James Cc. charged with housebreaking, in Judge McComas’ court ing.
