Minister Wu Ting Fang disapproves of the American straw ride. The Chi- nese envoy was a guest at such a func- tion the other evening with his nephew, F. Ung Choa Shee. Four horses, decked with sleighbells and plumes, pulled a haycart half full of straw. The minister had the seat of honor at the head of thé load. Adozen pretty Cape May (N. J.) damsels, with their beaux, formed the party. Minister Wu was delighted until, by the light of one of the Japanese lan- terns, he saw the arm of one of the young fellows steal around a. girl’s waist. In China this would be a most shocking breach of the peace, and the || Chinese minister looked to see if the girl resented the advance. Instead, her hand found that of her sweetheart }| under the straw and held it. The further the wagon went the more |did the billing and cooing become epi- demic. Minister Wu had been brought up to different things, Taking the armofhis nephew firmly in his hand he puiled him to the end of the wagon and alighted. “We need exercise and will walk home,” he said to the astonished peo- ple, and politely saying good night he | and the young man went to the hotel | across lots. The minister will say nothing as to his reasons for leaving the party. He, only says the women of China do not go on straw rides. BEES STAMPEDE A FUNERAL. Sting Horses Attached to the Hearse and Cause a Commo- tion, As the hearse containing the body of James Bracken, formerly of New Albany, was driven into the rural cemetery near Bradford, Harrison county, Ind., one of the horses at- tached to it trod on a nest of bumble bees. For a féw minutes there was a lively scene. The angry bees swarmed from the nest and it at- tacked everything and everybody in sight. They stung the driver of the hearse until he was blinded and fled. They attacked the pall-bearers around the hearse and drove them away. The widow and the mourners in the ecar- riages following were victims of the insects’ activity. The attending min- ister was stung by two of the bees and many of the attending friends were driven from the cemetery. The horses attached to the hearse were the first to feel the vengeance of the bees and were stung so badly that they ran away, but they were caught by the committee of Hope lodge of Odd Fellows of Louisville, Ky., of which Mr. Bracken had been a member, just as the hearse and cof: fin were about to be overturned. Aft- er a vigorous fight that lasted for half-an hour the bees were driven away, the coffin taken from the hearse and the body laid to rest. TO CHANGE CHURCH MUSIC. Cardinal Steinhuber Will Bar Oper. atic Airs from Catholic Services. The official confirmation of the ap- pointment of Cardinal Steinhuber as prefect in Rome of the congregation of the index was received at Washing- ton. The news is expected to cause lively comment in clerical circles. Cardinal Steinhuber has some de cided views on the adoption of a bet- ter standard of church music than now prevails in this country. With his ap- pointment as head of this congrega. tion he will have direct control of the St. Cecelia’s: society and other organ- izationgy looking to the betterment of church music in the Unitéd States. The operatic airs which are now gen- erally sung by the choir here are ob- noxious, it is said, to the spirit of the Catholic church, which for cen- turies has recognized no other form of ecclesiastical music than the Greg- orian chant. For certain reasons, how- ever, greater latitude has been given to American choirs than to those of any other country, but now the au- thorities at Rome are determined to support societies like that of St. Ce celia, whose purpose is gradually to eliminate what is considered baneful in church music. b PASTORS FOR SHIRT WAISTS. Cincinnati Clergymen Favor Com- fortable Summer Apparel for Men. With scarcely an exception Cincin nati (O.) clergymen favor shirt waists for men and are not averse to having them worn in church. Rev. W. D Holt, of the North Side Baptist church, said: “I would be glad to see the men at church in shirts without suspenders The shirt-waist idea is reasonable, and I will support any reasonable plan that will bring men to church.” Rev. S. S. Aikman, of the Fifth Pres BY J. NOEL JOHNSON. $67 OOK heah, Eller—don’t look too skeerd ’caise I call yer Eller—you hain’t no Miss Eller to me, my gal, ’cause ye been off ter the Salyersville cemitery, an’ come home toatin’ er passel of Bluegrass airs. Yas, Eller, I jist rode over heah this mornin’ ter fin’ out ef you want ter smesh up that ‘leetle cont: we writ in our hearts afore you went off, and sealed with a kiss?” The girl at first widened her pretty brown eyes, as if shocked at his uncouth speech, but she met frank, honest, exacting eyes that nothing could conceal except darkness itself. She colored, and, with a confused “Ab-he-em,” turned her face. Silence continued for about a minute, when the young man continued in firm tones, a note of pathos running through them: “Somehow or other, when I hearn you was goin’ off, I felt like you’d never come back to me no more—not as little Eller. ‘The nateral nater of you—clear, sweet, an’ bright as our mountin cricks—would return bemuddled to simple eyes like mine. I’m not layin’ in no blame to you. I allers thought you, compar’d to me, a little git- tar beside a gourd fiddle. But I couldn’t help lovin’ you—my heart jist run toward | you just like a dry chip to a@ suckhole. I knowed, though, when you got ’way off among town folks, you’d look at them ar fine hair’d doods, an’ them across their shoulders to the memory of rude l'red Cap- field, an’ it would make you curl yer pp an’ leugh. I know thar ain’t nothin’ about me to catch an’ hold a gal like you, an’ I love you too well, an’ I think I’ve got a leetle bit too much spunk about me, to go draggin’ atter you like a briar, when you want ter free yerself. Uve seed the day it would be like a shot in my heart to be turned off, but I’ve been bracin’ myself for the lick ever since you went away. I’ve got all my ’rangements made, an’ in a month from now I'll leave for Kansas, where I’ve got an uncle who offers me a place in his store. So, Eller, ef you say the word, I’ll take my medicine the best I kin, an’ never bother you no more.” When he had concluded Ella looked up at him with a smile—a frank, bantering, kiss able smile. Affectation was gone from her manner and speech. “Fred,” she said, with the genuine frank- ness of mountain natures, “I still think more of you than I ever did of any other man. I deplore your deficiencies in the way of education; but you are worth a -thousand -‘doods,’ as you call the town byterian church, said: “A preacher might as well talk to a dummy as try to make an impression on a man swel- tering under coat and vest in a pew." “It’s a sin, this business of wrap ping up in summer as if we were freez ing, and then saying we can’t go te church because it is too hot,” said Rev, A. M. Harvuot, of Central Christian church. ; An Unpopular Pronunciation. It is said that the Li in Li Hung ’s name is properly pronounced Lee. It isn’t likely, however, remarks the Chicago s-Herald, that i after what he has been saying i boys. Still, Fred, I’m sorry to eay, you are not my ideal, and unless I so consid- ered you, I don’t think I could live happily with you. I don’t think I shall ever marry. I’m too romantic in my nature—too exact- ing in the demand for qualities in my hus- band that don’t exist in these prosaic times. My reading has spoiled me, I know, I live im times long gone. My Jover is your- self, but taken back a thousand or two thou- sand years. The modern man, of all de- grees, is too commonplace for my taste. Hundreds of times I have dreamed of you as my lover, but in every instance you were either a Roman youth, or a knight of the middle ages, with armor on, going forth to do deeds for your lady love which the modern man could not even dream of do- ing. Of course, such a man, outside of books, I shalb never find, and unless my na- ture changes as the years go by, I shall never marry. Now, Fred, I’ve told you truly the state of my mind, and you will be pleased some day that you missed getting such a girl as I am for a wife. Such love as I have, however, belongs to you, but you know your- self it isn’t the kind to keep house on. Oh, if we could only go back to the grand old Roman days, or to the days when knight- hood was in flower!” Fred arose at the conclusion of this nove’ speech, and, dipping his yellow curls, said: “Good-by, Eller. ” “Say, mam, whar’s them old histories that that ar bow-leggod teacher left heer two years ago?” said Fried Capfield to his mother after he had arrived home. “They’re out, piled away in the smoke- house, somewhar among a lot of old trum- pery—what ye want with hist’ries, I’d like ter know?” After a long search among old shoes, trace chains, dried beans, corn cobs, and other debris, Fred finally fished out Gold- smith’s “History of Rome” and an old Eng- lish history. With some labor he read the Roman history as far as the rape of the Sabines, and, with a great grin and chuckle of exultation he laid it aside, Then he took up the history of the Norman con- quest, but dropped it when he read how great King William, when a duke in Nor- mandy, won his exasperating wife. Then he threw it aside, and, Uae’ aS hands deep in his pockets, strode to TO across the! floor, his lips struggling to smile-and whistle at the same time. “Mam,” said Fred, early the next morn- ing, as he appeared in his best “duds” at the door of the smokehouse, where his mother was compounding some soap grease, “I want you to drop yer soap-makin’ ter-day an’ go ter cookin’ up some good things.” “ mind yar han’some son, say nothin’ but yer prayers, an’ wait.” Fred then strode rapidly out to the yard gate, where his big bay horse stood nerv- ously pawing the earth. He mounted him and went with a rain of hoofs down the hard road toward the home of Ella McCoy. Riding up in front of the house, he yelled “Hallo!” John McOoy, big brother of Ella’s, came to the door. “Tell Eller to come out to the fence a moment,” quietly spoke the horseman. Ella responded, interrogation points in h er eyes. “Step close to the fence a moment, Eller; Ym goin’ away, an’ I want to tell yer sum- thin’.” She stepped up, her face quite pale, when Fred, making a huge hook of his left arm, instantly caught her around the waist with it, lifted her up in front of him, drove spurs in his horse and dashed furiously away. hla squirmed and screamed, but the big giant pressed bee against his great chest and smiled gently. “Oh, papa and the boys will kill you!” she led. - yr ePossibly; but the Sabines didn’t kill folks like me, nor did the Romans eoues about. Besides, people don’t often kill in-law, no how.” ee “Qh, you villain!—boo-hoo! — I won’t rou!” ti the squire that’s waitin’ down at the forks of the road will do that for you! Stop yer snubbin’!

Volanteers from Cavalry in Okla- homa Will Try Campaigning on Concentrated Food — Pur- pose of the Experiment. _ Two officers of the United States army, Capt. Fountain, of the Eighth cavalry, and Capt. Foster, of the Fifth cavalry, have gone to New York to make final arangements for a supply of “emergency rations.” About a year ago a board of officers, consisting of Col. Dempsey and Capts..Fountain and Foster, was convened for the pur- pose of inquiring into and deciding up- on a ration for enlisted men which can be used in an emergency. Manufac- turers of food products in all parts of the country were invited to submit samples of concentrated foods which could be used for such purposes. All samples submitted were subject- ed to rigid tests. aimed at was, in brief, a minimum o! space combined with a maximum of sustaining qualities. After months of experiment it was finally decided that a preparation of parched wheat com- bined with a certain proportion of evaporated ani food would sustain life best with th ast pos loss ef weight and To this combina- tion was a e of sweetened whole ration, sufii- cient for one cay, was inclosed ina her- metically sealed receptacle. The officers cf the beard tested the value of the ration by living upon it themselves for several consecutive days. Now they have been ordered to continue the tests. With this end in view they proceed at once to Oklahoma, where there are two troops of cavalry. It is the purpose of Capts. Fountain and Foster—Col. Dempsey has been de- tached from the board—to invite vol- unteers from these cavalry troops to accompany them for a week, ten days, or two weeks, for the purpose of test- ing the value of this new ration. If it is found that the men can live upon it without great loss of weight or energy, it will be adopted by the de- partment. It is not the purpose, how- ever, to substitute this ration for the regular food supply of the American soldier. But men in service will be sup- plied with two, three, five, or more of these rations when on special service. They will be allowed to use them only when it is found impossible to secure other food. Ig other words, it is an “emergency” ration, and severe punish- ment will be meted out to the soldier who uses it except in cases of extreme emergency. EXPORTS OF AMERICAN COAL. During 1900 They Axe Likely toReach the $20,000,000 Mark, Against $10,000,000 in 1896. er a Exports of coal from the United States during 1900 are likely to reach $20,000,000, against $10,000,000 in 1896 and $6,000,000 in 1890. Figures of the bureau of statistics show the exports of coal during the seven months end- ing with July last are 50 per cent. in excess of those of last year and double those of 1898. In the seven months ending with July, 1898, the exports of coal were 2,375,451 tons; in 1899 they were 2,006,082 tons, and in 1900 4,601,755 tons. During the period from 1890 to 1900 the exportation of coal has quad- rupled, but the principal growth has been in the years 1898, 1899 and 1900. While this growth is perceptible in the exports to all parts of the world, it is especially marked with reference to the American countries. To British North America the ex- ports of 1898 were 1,788,398 tons and in 1900 3,253,803 tons. To Mexico in 1898, 243,938 tons; in 1900, 415,834 tons. To Cuba the exports have more than doubled. In 1898 they were 114,655 tons and in 1900 241,712 tons, while to Porto Rico they increased from 2,621 tons in 1898 to 15,313 tons in 1900. To the Hawaiian islands the exports of 1899 were 10,381 tons and in 1900 21,001 tons, thus more than doubling in a single year. To the Philippine islands the exports of 1898 were 4,810 tons, while in 1900 they were 41,068 tons. EERE PS ENGI Bee GOULDS SAVE BONI’S HOME. Count de Castellane’s Pressing Cred« itors Said to Have Been Paid by His Wife’s Family. It is now known why the sale of Count Castellane’s castie was coun- termanded. ‘Countess Anna, though failing to sway her brothers, and es- pecially her sister Helen, and obtain money for Count Boni on their last trip to New York for that purpose some months ago, decided to make a last appeal, and her distress was so pitiful that Edwin Gould was touched and ke finally prevailed upon George. The brothers then sent for Count Boni, and after imposing upon him some rather severe conditions put up enough money to pay the main cred- itors and stop the sale. t Some well-informed friends allege that Count Boni, when he saw how desirous the Gould family was to pre- ‘The desideratum , f ad * * : @ * a * * & te : * = 2 N.
