The Gerald--Beview, ' PITH OF THE NEWS By E. Kiley. GRAND RAPIDS - MINNESOTA. Women's shoes are naturally tight when they are full, The meaner a man is the hardor he tries to lower his record, The detective who rides a wheel should indulge in track exercise. No‘man can endure with patience a woman’s slur about his clothing. The prettier the girl the more atten- tion she seems to think she requires. There are no professional women divers, It is impossible to talk under water, The tramp is always glad to get a steak, but he draws the line at chops in the wood shed. Some people try to console them- selves in the hour of their misfortune by saying “There are others.” Some are rich in money only; how poor are they! To hold money is noth- ing; to use it for the highest good is rapture. ‘ The habit of virtue cannot be formed in a closet. Habits are formed by acts of reason in a persevering struggle through temptation. Human action is a seed of circum- stances scattered in the dark land of the future, and hopefully left to the powers that rule human destiny. It was a Chicago man who sold his affections toa woman for about a hun- dred dollars and then repudiated the woman; and it was a Chicago judge who ruled that she could not recover the money because a man’s love could not be estimated in dollars and cents. It might have occurred to the judge, one would think, that the man was a swindler; and if that failed to bring satisfaction there ought to have been a horsewhip—not for the judge, per- haps, but for the man, According to letters received from members of the First Kentucky regi- ment, which landed at Ponce, Porto Rico, on the transport Alamo, the greatest hardships were endured by the soldiers during the voyage. The men were quartered in the hold with foul air to breathe, and the diet consisted of canned beef, raw tomatoes and coffee once a day. A guard is said to have been kept around the officers’ kitchen to keep the starving men from taking food by force. The steward is alleged to have made money by charging high prices for ice water and bread, The eternal monotony of the same food is enough to drive a man crazy, espe- cially canned food. No more trans- ports should be sent anywhere without a proper variety for the men aboard. The Cunard Company has lately given an order for a new steamship, which will be the largest ever con- structed. She is not to be a passenger- boat, and is not to be built for speed, and accordingly she will attract less general interest than her smaller sis- ters, the Lucania and Campania, which register only thirteen thousand tons apiece. The biggest vessel now afloat is the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, of the North German Lloyd. She is six hundred and fifty feet long, and reg- isters more than fourteen thousand tons. She will not long be the levi- athan of the Atlantic liners, for in a short time the White Star Company ; will have the Oceanic on the water, and she, with her seven hundred feet length, will be twenty feet longer than the Great Eastern, the wonder of the last generation. The United States consul at Vienna, in a report to the state department on the trade of Austria-Hungary for 1897, ascribes the general decrease in ex- ports to this country to the fact that the same goods are now manufactured in the United States and can be sold there at the same or lower prices than the Austrian goods. The report is that American silk is being sold in Lyons, the real silk eenter in Europe, and that French manufacturers are buying it in large quantities, especially that used for lining purposes, to take the place of that formerly imported from Austria and Germany. There is a fall- ing off in the demand for pearl goods, and for glassware, due to the popu- larity and superiority of the American product. It is frankly admitted, the consul says, that the American cut glass is finer and more elegantly cut than any manufactured in Europe, The American bicycle, according to the con- sul, is finding favor with the wheel- men, notwithstanding its higher price over those of domestic make. He thinks that if United States manufac- turers desire to get their wheels into +» the foreign market they should be sat- isfied with a little less profit and try to make easier terms for their agents. Books are the best of things well used; abused among the worst. What is the right use? What is the one end which all means go to effect? They are for nothing but to inspire. Every’ book is good to read which sets the reader in a working mood. Cervera is a nice enough man; but we are glad he has-gone home, be- cause otherwise the plutocrats would } want to run him for president of the United States. There are so many people who can never learpm to stop . when they get through, i DIGEST OF THE NEWS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. & Comprchensive Review of the Important Happenings of the Past Week Culled From the Tel- egraph Reports—The Notable Events at Home and Abroad That Have Attracted Attention, From Washington, President McKinley is again reported about to remove 6,000 from the civil service list.

Komura was born in 1853 and studied law at Harvard university.. The will of the late Mrs. Joseph P. Smiyth, wife of the late secretary of the bureau of American republics, which has been filed in Urbana, Ohio, names President McKinley, Sclicitor General J. K. Richards and Edward F. Hutches as executors of the estate. Judge Cox, in the district supreme court, Washington, decided the cases of George. R. Wightman and William Harlan against Secretary Gage in fa- vor of the secretary of the treasurer. One suit sought an injunction and the other a mandamus, the basis of com- plaint in each being the rejection by the secretary of the treasury of bids submitted for the recent war loan be- ing issued by the complainants. Sporting Notes. In a shooting tournament at Nash- ville, Charles Budd of Des Moines, Iowa, won the Belle Meade handicap. The Chicago Yacht club has chal- lenged the Canadian cup and the Royal Canadian Yacht club, the holder of the trophy, has accepted the chal- lenge. Details of the race remain to be arranged. In the feather-weight contest ar- ranged for twenty rounds at Birming- ham, England, between J. White of Birmingham and Mike Sears of Bos- ton, the Englishman beat th eAemican in twelve rounds. The bantam championship match be- tween Peddler Palmer of England and Billy Rochford of Chicago, which is slated at the National Sporting club at London next month, has been de- clared off. Rochford’s health will not permit of his training. Isador, the Russian Wrestler, has made his appearance in this country. He claims to have defeated the late Yousouf, but he failed to make such claim while Yousouf was alive. He had better keep such claims to himself and secure a reputation here by acts, and not by false claims. Isador is over six feet tall and weighs 260 pounds. People Talked About. Col. W. G.

Near- ly a fortnight ago she was reported as disabled and making her way towards St. Johns for repairs. Master Ralph L. Scott, the six-year- old son of Mr.*and Mrs. J. P. Scott of 439 West Fourth avenue, Columbus, Ohio, is suffering from lockjaw, and his physicians fear he will not recover. Absolutely no cause is known for the disease, though it is suggested as a theory that he may have scratched the scab off the vaccination sore on his arm. Criminal Record. A negro charged with the murder of a white man was lynched by a mob at Lafayette, Ala. x White men and negroes engage in a battle in Mississippi, in which ‘kine of the negroes were killed.

Military postoffices will be estab- lished Dec. 1 at Baiquiri, Guantanamo, Baracoa, San Luis, Manzanillo, Gibara and Holguin. The attitude of the insurgent troops in the Philippines is becoming very menacing. Their supplies are growing scarce and they are becoming desper- ate. Gen. Whittier, the collector of cus- toms at Manila, has been ordered to proceed to Paris for the purpose of tes- tifying before the United States peace commission there. Snow has fallen through European Russia except in the Crimea and Cau- casus. Navigation of the Volga has been partially suspended, but the Bal- tic ports are still open. Maj. Esterhazy, who had hitherto not denied the London Observer's assertion that he had claimed to be the author of the Dreyfus bordereau, will sue the Observer for libel because of that state- ment. Archbishop Yeane has been sum- moned to Rome to make a report on the state of feeling in America in re- gard to the annexation of the Philip- pines and the attitude of the American people toward the Catholic element in Cuba and Porto Rico.

Timber examiners have recommend- ed changes in the rules. The cold weather in the South is checking the yellow fever epidemic. Sampson’s report on the conduct of his fleet prior to the destruction of Cervera’s squadron, has been made public.

All the branch lines now included in the Santa Ie railway system are to lose their identity as separate corpora- tions, and be incorporated under the title of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway. y The miners’ strike which has exist- ed at Pomeroy, Ohio. since March, is broken and the miners’ organization is disrupted. The Pacific mine started up and the men are scrambling to get in at reduced wages. As a result of the collapse of the First National bank at Lisbon, Ohio, Alpheus Arter, one of the heaviest de- positors, closed his harness manufac- turing establishment. About 100 per- sons are thrown out of employment. A large, completely equipped modern government survey boat, “The Path- finder,” will be launched at the Cres- cent shipyards, Elizabeth, N. J., early in December. It is the first vessel fit- ted out with all modern appliances, built for the coast and geodetic survey in recent years. second in the [MARCHAND \ | QUITS FASHODA FRANCE EVIDENTLY DE“™mRS TO GIVE UP THE CONTEST. ‘The Tempest Is Evidently Simmer- ing Down to a Peaceful End— Marchand wil Probably Ask Au- thority to Remove His Entire Force From Fashoda—The De- mands Formulated by the British Cabinet Will Probably Not Now Be Communicated to France—It Was Agreed That Marchand Must Go or Remain Merely as a Private Individaa’ Paris, Oct. 30.—The French foreign office has received a dispatch from its diplomatic agency at Cairo confirming the reported arrival of Maj. Marchand at Khartoum. Cairo, Oct. 30.—Maj. Marchand left Fashoda on Sunday and arrived at Khartoum yesterday afternoon. He will start for Cairo to-day. As the other Frenchmen remain at Fashoda Maj. Marchand’s departure from there is not regarded as a settlement of the question as to possession of that place, which is in dispute between Great Britain and France. London, Oct. 30.—The morning news- paper editorials regard Maj. March- and’s movements from Fashoda to KIxhartoum as indicative of a yielding on the specific question in controversy, although the position is unofficially un- altered. It is assumed he will push on to Cairo in order to be in direct com- munication with the French govern- ment, and that on reaching there he will represent to Paris the impossibili- ty of remaining at Fashoda under ex- isting conditions, and will ask for au- thority to withdraw his entire force. London, Oct. 30.—The Pall Mall Ga- zette summarizes the result of the meeting of the British cabinet as fol- lows: First—Marchand must be withdrawn unconditionally and no undertaking or promise can be given to discuss the questions raised by France in regard to aecess to the Nile ard such like. Second — When Marchand is with- drawn it will be determined whether the question raised admits of discus- sion and under what conditions the discussion can be proceeded with. Third—Every possible facility will be aorded to assist Marchand’s with- drawal by whichever route selected. Fourth — If Marchand is not with- drawn there will be no interference with his remaining at Fashoda nor date fixed for his withdrawal. Neces- sarily reinforcements will not be per- mitted to reach him. He will be treated courteously as a foreign vis- itor and will be regarded in no other light. Fifth--Therefore it is left to France to adopt any active measures to pre- cipitate a conflict. The Gazette adds that it has good reason to believe that while Russia has counseled France to tide over the ditiiculty and avoid war, she has prom- ised to throw her weight in the scale at no distant date for the purpose of bringing the whole Egyptian question and the British occupation of Egypt to the front for settlement. Leave the Question Open. London, Oct. 30.—The Paris corre- spondent of the Times says: If France directs Maj. Marchand to retire from Fashoda she will refuse to enter any ulterior negotiations, preferring to leave the question quite open and uwaiting a more favorable opportunity to reopen it. Cc ANS PIQUED. Don't Relish Gen. Wood’s Disregard of Their Recommendations. Santiago, Cuba, Oct. 30.—Gen. Wood has appointed Jose Maria Varela judge of the court of first instance, similar to the circult court of the United States. The appointment was much commented on by the Cuban officers, who claimed that the appointment should have been given to a revolu- tionist. Varela has taken no part in the revolution. He is known as a man of excellent qualifications for the position. There is a certain feeling of pique growing among the Cubans at Gen. Wood’s disregard of many of their recommendations. Gen. Maya Roderiguez called on Gen. Wood and had an unofficial conference with him in reference to Cuban army affairs. He suggested the use of 500 Cuban sol- diers us a substitute for Americans in garrisoning the small towns, DEVOID OF SENSATION. Paris, Oct. 30.—Yesterday’s proceed- ings at the court of cassation was de- void of sensation. The only emotion caused ensued upon the reading of the pathetic letters from Dreyfus. A sig- nificant point was the revelation of the fact that Gen. de Boisdeffre gave or- ders after the Dreyfus case was de- elared closed for the dossier -contain- ing the bordereau to be burned, and expressed surprise afterward to find that his orders had not been executed. Thus far the war office has not bee. represented in the court proceedings, and there is still but little hope of the secret dossier being produced, especial- ly is—as, however, looks somewhat doubtful—M. Dupuy succeeds in form ing a cabinet. Chinese Troops Move. Peking, Oct. 80.—There is a general movement of Chinese troops toward the coast of the Gulf of Pe Chi Li. is understood to be due to apprehen- to seize the railway. Mrs. Botkin Indicted. San_ Francisco, Oct. 30. — Mrs. Cor-!- ee eee a IE a EEE nes ASSES cI cia etn Pc a ca oe A KEEP ALL THW PHILIPPINES. Decision Reached by the President and His Cabinet. Chicago, Oct. 20.—Tr'he Times-Herald prints the following Washington Gis- patch: ~ President McKinley has decided to keep all the Philippines. The United States will assume $40.000,000 of the Philippine debt in consideration of a quit claim by Spain. ~The American peace commissioners will be instructed to lay the president's decision before the Spanish commissioners at Paris on Monday. This statement of the ad- ministration’s programme is made on the highest authority. It was given after yesterday’s cabinet meeting, at which the Philippine question was fully discussed. ‘The president's de- cision had been foreshadowed, but he had refrained carefully from commit- ting himself. Anxious to execute the will of the people he has been studying the sentiment of the country for months. When he went West he found himself swept along by the full current of expansion sentiment. Per- sonally the president hesitated to thrust upon the nation the grave re sponsibilities attached to the govern- ment of the Philippines, but he has great faith in the ultimate judgment of the common people of the United States and he bows to their will. The Spanish commissioners at Paris have been trying to drive a financial bargain with the representatives of the United States. They have Not Offered Serious Objection to the abandonment of the Spanish ter- ritory, but they have sought to make every loss of the kind the basis for a claim for cash. ‘Their chief concern has been to relieve their country from some of the crushing financial burden which makes its future so black. The president has been informed that the Spanish commissioners would demand a cash indemnity if the United States decided to hold all the Philippines. The president has decided that the United States can afford to be gener ous with Spain in the settlement of the fate of the Philippines.” Instead of asking congress for an appropriation to give the Spanish the cash for which they are crying, he has determined to assume the debt of about $40,000,000 created in 1896. This consists of bonds bearing 5 per cent. It is he- lieved the senate will ratify a treaty with a provision assuming such a debt. In administration circles it is thought the revenues of the Philip- pines will enable the government to meet the interest and principal of the bonds, without burdening the United States proper. One of the first things to be done* may be the refunding of these bonds in a security bearing a lower rate of interest. ODDITIES OF POISONING. Much of Earthly Happiness Depends Upon What We Eat. The constitutional differences and peculiarities which exist among indi- viduals should always be carefully watched and considered. One person can handle poison ivy with impunity while another is poisoned if only in the vicinity of the vine and without contact. Some members of a family residing in a malarial district will suffer regularly with chills and fever, while other members will not be at all affected. Food that is actually poisonous to some persons will not act so on others. One person may eat all kinds of green fruit and vegetables with impunity, while another person could do so only at the risk of life. Certain kinds of fish are actually poisonous to some people and perfectly wholesome to others. It is this peculiar condition of the system which constitutes the danger point in the individual case and should be prudently observed by ‘each one for himself. Intestinal derange- ments frequently arise from and are aggravated by certain kinds of faod. Thus a person affected with kidney or liver trouble should not eat very white bread, since the extreme whiteness is often produced by the use of alum with an inferior article of flour, and as alum is known to be poisonous in its effects on a sound constitution, this is why alum baking powder is never used by people of judgment and dis- cretion. More of earthly happiness depends upon what we eat than many people realize and it is for this reason that the different states are one by one passing pure-food laws, FOURTEEs 1 s1’s LAST ASSEMBLY, Regiment Gathers for the Muster Out. St. Paul, Oct. 30. — The Fourteenth Minnesota volunteer regiment will ar- rive in St. Paul to-day to be mustered out of service. Company M came in from Princeton at 7:10 this morning, and Company L arrived from Crooks- ton five minutes later. | Eight other companies will arrive during the day, the last being Company H, or rather part of it, at 6:30 in the afternoon from Olivia. It will take fifteen days at least and possibly twenty to com- plete mustering out papers, physical examinations and the rest of the rou- tine required by law. GOOD-B.— ~~ACE COMMISSION. Rumor That Its Work Will Be Fin- ish in Four Days. Madrid, Oct. 30. — The rumor goes that the Paris peace commission will terminate its labors in four days. Senor Sagasta said on leaving the pal- ace that he thought the work of the commission would be finished next week. Found Dead in Bed. Minnewaukan, N. D., Oct. 30.—Will- iam Fowler, an old resident who has It} been in feeble health, was found dead in bed.

JUBILER WAS A BIG SUCCESS. | Philadelphia’s Celebration Comes to an End. i Philadelphia, Oct. 30. — The great, ous conclusion yesterday. Beginnin; with last Sunday’s services and con® cluding the naval and_ military, demonstrations of Tuesday and ‘Wednesday, yesterday’s monster civic celebration, the demonstration has been an unparalleled success through- out. ‘The magnificent illumination continues and the streets are still jammed with people. Although Pres- jdent McKinley and others of the Washington party returned to the cap- ital the night before interest was not less eager in yesterday’s programme, which was not marred by a single un- favorable circumstance. The day opened with the rededication of Inde- pendence hall. i Gov. Hastings, Mayor Warwick and other officials reviewed the parade from the same stand in the court of honor which the president had occu- pied. The head of the line reached that point at 1 o’clock in the afternoon and for three hours and a half there- after Broad street looked like a stage upon which was performing a great spectacular extravaganza. It was es- sentially a show of color and glitter with nothing of the somber pomp of wea’. ‘The feature of the events of Tuesday and Wednesday was popular exaltation of the nation’s defenders and tribute to their valor. Yesterday’s parade was a picturesque and im- pressive exhibition of industries and arts to which the nation, having laid down arms, has returned. More than 20,000 men were in line, the beauty of which was enhanced by many floats, Especially handsome were those il lustrative of art. peace jubilee was brought to a ming GEN. RIOS IS OBSTINATE. Trying, to Prevent the Disbanding of His Troops. Manzanillo, Oct. 30. — The United States gunboat Hist has arrived here with Gen. Leonard Wood, commander of the military division of Santiago, ac- companied by Lieut. Matthew Hanna. After landing Gen. Wood was closeted with Col. Pettit and his adjutant, and he was subsequently received by Col. Lettit’s entire regiment. Gen. Wood then visited the barracks, hospitals, palaces, customs houses and postoffice. Col. Vettit reports that the Cuban general, Rios, is apparently making every effort to prevent the disbanding of his troops. TERESA TO SAIL. Spanish Cruiser Gets Away From Caimanera To-Day. Caimanera, Cuba, Oct. 30.—The In- fanta Maria Teresa will sail to-day. The Cincinnati, Leonidas and Potomac will convoy her to Cape May. Prob- ably the Norfolk, Vulcan and Merritt will tow her, as her steam reversing gear was broken on Tuesday and this may cripple her port engines, She has been taking on 400 tons of coal, water and stores. Just three months ago the gunboat Sandoval was sunk by. the Spanish. She made a_ satisfactory trial trip this morning and will be ready for service Monday. MANGLED BY CARS, Brakeman Dowse Meets With a Bad Accident at Itasea. Duluth, Minn., Oct. 30.—Fred Dowse of Duluth, a brakeman on the Omaha railroad, and a son of Thomas Dowse, one of the oldest Duluth residents, had his legs horribly mangled at Itasca. He was coupling the air hose between the cars when another car was knocked against the ones between which he was working and he was thrown on the rails and the wheels passed over his legs. One leg was amputated above the knee and the other may also have to go. GOLD IN OHIO. The Excitement at Malvern Is Spreading. Camp Dover, Ohio, Oct. 30. — The gold excitement at Malvern is still spreading and there now seems to be sulficient evidence to indicate that gold really exists in paying quantities. The details so far from the field have been meager because of its out-of-the- way location and the infrequency of travelers from the district to, this point. i LEAVE FOR HOME. Third Wisconsin Starts From New York in Good Condition. New York, Oct. 30.—The Third Wis- consin volunteers, who came North on the transport Manitoba, havé started for home.
