GRAND RAPIDS, - MINNESOTA. usted, Nature has given us two ears, two eyes and but one tongue, to the end that we should hear and see more than we speak. The Fairmount Park Art Association of Philadelphia has decided to erect a statue in honor of Robert Morris, the great financier of revolutionary days. It will cost $15,000. The Buffalo Bird protective society defends the English sparrow, ascrib-, ing to the birds the disappearance, in that vicinity, of the canker worm. A notice was posted the other day in a West Kensington (London) church, announcing that five pews were for sale. And, according to the notice, one of the advantages of these pews is that the contribution plate is not passed to them. The Cunard company has decided on building several steamships which will be expected to wrest from German- built vessels the speed championship now held by the latter. Other Eng- lish lines will probably follow suit in the attempt to outdo the Deutschland. In Wheeling, W. Va., the men par- aded in Mother Hubbards to ridicule female suffrage. If the men of Denver should attempt a think like that the rag men would reap a harvest next morning gathering up the remnants with which -the streets would be strewn, The mayors in Arkansas are to meet fn convention in Little Rock the last of this month to further legislation looking to the welfare of their cities. Boards of trades, business men’s leagues and commercial organizations are invited to send delegates. The Netherlanders stand in the fore- most rank as coffee drinkers, using 370 ounces a year to each inhabitant. We are but fourth on the coffee-drinking list, using 725,000,000 pounds a year, or 15 ounces apiece. Russia, how- ever, allows but three ounces to each person, Once, after exposing the ridiculous blunders of the editor of certain old plays, James Russell Lowell concluded with the remark, “In point of fact, we must apply to this gentleman the name of the first King of Sparta.” No one remembered, of course, what this was, but when they looked it up they fund it was Eudamidas. A lady of literary fame once re- quested Doctor Reid, the celebrated medica] writer, to call at her house. “Be sure you recollect the address,” she said as she quitted the room, “No. 1 Chesterfield street.” “Madam,” said the doctor, “I am too great an admirer of politeness not to remember Ches- terfield, and, I- fear, too selfish ever to forget Number One.” Cheerful announcement and invita- tion printed by a paper in Holton, Kan.: “Albert Beier has just completed @ course in the embalming school of Kansas City and returned with his diploma. He will have a full stock of coffins and funeral supplies ready by the first of the week oad invitds all needing his services or goods of this character to give him a call.” A contract has been closed by a Milwaukee firm for furnishing the first complete set of brewing ma- chinery ever sent from this country to Japan.

The plant will be located at Kioto and will cost about $100,000. A dispatch from Louisville, Ky., Says: “The ‘hello’ girls are wailing long and loud. The Cumberland Tele- €raph and Telephone company, which wns all the leading lines in the South, has issued an order requiring opera- tors to furnish a guarantee bond ot $25 that they will not talk over the lines themselves. This order was made necessary by the fact that a number of operators were accustomed to use the lines for gossiping with one an- other and with male friends.” De Wet, the elusive Boer com- mander, has got to the penny-puzzle stage of popularity in England. Says an American, who purchased one of these “puzzle” cards from an itinerant vendor: “On it was an outline of the territory lately ruled by Mr. Kruger with the wording: ‘This is the Trans- vaal; find De Wet.’ I turned the card bout, but could discover no outline suggestive of the eel-like Boer general, ‘Then I applied to the vendor for in- formation. With a grin he answered: “Yer can’t find De Wet, guv-nor? No more can anybody else find ’im! ’E, ain’t there; ‘e’s sloped, as per usual. Now ain’t the sell worth a bloomin’ penny?” An insurance against strikes is the latest idea in Austria. A number of manufacturers have \adopted the plan of paying a certain Percentage upon their respective pay rolls into a com- mon fund. In the event of a strike occurring in the works of one of them an investigation is made by a commit- tee representing the association and if it is decided the strike was declared unjustly the idle factory is indemni- fied from the fund. On the other hand, if the committee finds the cause - the strikers just there is no indem- ty.

The burglar escaped. “Carney,” a diamond thief of consid- erable notoriety, confessed to having stolen $5,000 worth of diamonds from Earle’s jewelry store in Philadelphia last June. His confession liberates William Henderson, who is now in jail waiting trial, charged with the crime. Walking a narrow stone ledge thirty feet from the ground connecting the baleony of her father’s residence at Chicago with that of a neighbor Miss Jennie Younglove gave the alarm that a burglar was at work in her home. A squad of policemen responded to a telephone call, but the intruder, after frightening Miss Younglove’s mother into hysterics, had escaped. Foreign.

This guaran- tee, however, iswmade conditional upon the empress taking no part in the government in the future. Further- more, she will have to agree to live at the summer palace or some other place, the choice of her residence be- guarantee she will be given an as- sured income for the Balance of Her Life. ‘The powers also propose that the em- peror shall resume the throne and ex- ercise all the powers that were usurped by the empress dowager, and that the latter shall agree not to interfere with his majesty. It is stated that this suggestion was not made by any indi- vidual minister, but there is no doubt that all the foreign representatives would like to know that the court would return here, as its pres- ence would simplify the other diffi- culties in the way ‘of peace negotia- tions. England is again assisting the Germans. Previously the “Germans were looting furniture from the dis- trict controlled by the English.

Hope for Early Agreement, Washington, Dec. 4.—Administration officials ccntinue sanguine that the representatives of the powers at Pe- kin will soon reach a common agree- ment to the demands to be made upon the Chinese ‘imperial government for satisfaction for the Boxer outbreak. The state department is in communica- tion with\ the ambassadors and minis- tes for the United States to the Eu- topean powers, and advices which have rome from them from time to time lead the officials here to hope that the powers will be brought to the position maintaired by the United States { dealing with the Chinese, viz., that there should not be demands made upon the imperial government which it is unable to fulfill, Our government has persistently held to this view in the pending negotiations between the ministers at Pekin, and if the principle of this contention can be maintained in the combined note to be handed to the Chinese .plenipotentiaries a decided advantage will be had/at the start. The attitude of our government on this subject has been made clear to Mr. Conger. The meeting between him and the Germar. and French ministers Sat- urday at Pekin presumably was in compliance with the minister's latest instruction from Washington. Noth- ing has been heard from Mr. Conger by the state department for several days. MANY LIVES LOST. In a Terrible Railroad Accident in Mexico, San Antonio, Tex., Dec. 4.—Edward Rische of this city has just arrived with details of a terrible wreck of two trains on the Mexican Central railway last Thursday by which more than a score of persons were killed and sixty injured, many of them fatally. Both trains were running thirty miles an hour when they met in a valley be- tween two great hills fifty miles south of Jumilico, midway between the towns of Tamanacha and Symon. One train carried a construction crew of 150 men and the other was a freight made up of fifty-five empty cars. Three engines and forty cars were piled up in a mass of debris thirty feet high, in which the dead and wounded were buried. Two of the train employes are Ameri- cans and they saved their lives by im- | mediate flight, as in Mexico employes of a train must suffer death if fatali- ties attach to a train wreck. The sur- vivors attempted to lynch the Ameri- cans, but they escaped over the hill and are supposed to have reached United States territory, where they are safe. Mr. Rische can give but scant details of the wreck, which is said to be the worst in the history of Mexico. He left the scene before the names of the killed and injured had been ob- tained.

BOERS VERY ACTIVE. Are Behaving With Their Old-Time Vigor. 5 London, Dec. 4.—Gen. Botha’s army is waking the initiative throughout South Africa. There has been fighting of a serious nature at Lichenberg, ‘Standerton and Dewetsdorp, in all of “which engagements the Boers have behaved with their old-time vigor. Scouting parties sent out from Bloem- fontein report that armed burghers have been reconnoitering the British position, evidently with the intention of making an attack. Since the news- paper men have been excluded from the field operations it is said that the British generals omit to report many instances of broken communications. The Evening Standard reports that a great fight is in progress between Gen. Knox and Gen. Dewet near Rouxville, in the southwestern extremity of the “Orange River colony, and that Dewet’s capture is imminent. Kitchener's First, Report. Lord Kitchener cables the war office from Bloemfontein, under date of Noy. 30, as follows: “Knox engaged Dewet’s rear guard on Nov. 27 for two hours. The enemy retreated. We had one killed and six wounded. According to the latest re- ports Knox is in touch with Dewet at Dafelberg, twelve miles. south of Bethulie. Settle has defeated Herzog and occupied Luckhoff. Paget en-- gaged Viljoen and Erasmus on Nov. 28 and 29 and drove the enemy back to Rietfontein. Lieut. Col. Lloyd was dangerously wounded. Five other of- ficers were.wounded. We also had five men killed and fifty wounded. Lyt- tleton is co-orerating with Paget.” The war office announces the Boers took 451 prisoners at Dewetsdorp. KRUGER WON’T GO TO BERLIN. Notified That the Emperor Will Be Unable to Receive Him. Berlin, Dec. 4. — Mr. Kruger has abandoned his projected visit to Ber- lin owing to receipt of a notification that Emperor William, in consequence of previous engagements, would be unable to receive him. The Boer statesman will, therefore, go straight to Holland. He telegraphed to that effect this morning. The Cologne Ga- zette says: “Mr. Kruger’s visit is not agreeable to Germany, his aim being to obtain intervention in South Africa. It would be a grave political mistake —it would be even a great crime—to allow him to entertain even a spark of hope that Germany will ever render him any practical support.” This declaration is accompanied with re- proaches, Mr. Kruger being charged with “having encouraged a useless guerrilla warfare and having disre- garded Germany’s advice when he might have still followed it.” The press generally strikes the same note. GIFTS FOR THE SOLDIERS, Transport Meade Carries Christmas Packages to Philippines. San Francisco, Dec. 4.—The transport Meade has just sailed for Manila yia Honolulu and Guam with a large num- ber of cabin passengers, 194 recruits and 36 members of the hospital corps.

The service at the home of the deceased senator commenced at 11 o'clock. This ceremony was witnessed only by the relatives and their most intimate friends.

During the service a quartet composed of Miss Florence Marion Pace, Mrs. Jane Huntington Yale, Harry E. George and Harry E. Phillips sang “Lead, Kindly Light,” “For All Thy Saints” and ‘Peace, Perfect Peace.” Prominent among those who paid homage to the memory of Senator Davis were the committee of his col- leagues in the senate and the com- mittee of the house of representatives. the PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. Delay of a Day Out of Respect to Senator Davis’ Memory. Washington, Dec. 2. — Senators Al- + drich, Frye, Foraker and Hale and Speaker Henderson of the house salled at the White House yesterday, and after a ccnsultation with the president announced that the latter’s message would not be read to congress until Tuesday. The postponement from Monday will be taken out of respect to the memcry of Senator Davis.
