The evald--Beview. |TAKES THE THIRD By E. C. KILEY, GRAND RAPIDS, - MINNESO In four-fifths ef the hotels and res- ceive no pay, and are expected to live taurants of Germany the waiters re- on their tips. The railroads of Holland are so care- fully managed that the accidental deaths on them average only one a year for the entire country. The Ruskin commonwealth of social- ists at Waycross, Ga., has failed, ac- cording to a dispatch to the New York Sun. Only three families remain, the others having departed for the North and West. Their printing outfit is ad- vertised yor sale and the land will go the same way. This will wipe out the last vestige of the colony, which went from Tennessce two years ago. The compliments of the Companion to fifteen millions of boys and girls who again take their seats in the schoolrooms and pick up their books! A most respectful bow to the four hun- dred thousand teachers whose sunmev vacation should send them back to their sacred task with freshened energy and joyous enthusiasm! And three times three for the public schools of America! A lively scrap between a clergyman and a layman was witnessed at a bap- tizing ceremony in Stanchfield Lake, Minn. George Tomlinson had agreed to be baptized there by the Rev. Mr. Orrock, but his nerve deserted him at the last moment. The clergyman at- tempted to use force, and there was a struggle, the convert angrily resisting. After a prolonged contest, the minister succeeded in ducking the unwilling convert in three feet of muddy water. The death is announced at Genoa, at the age of 98, of Pierre Maurier, a Frenchman, who lived on the Island of Elba when Napoleon took up his com- pulsory residence there in April, 1814. Pierre remembered hearing the news towards the end of February, 1815, that the Emperor, with over 1,000 followers, had sailed away in feluccas bound for Provence, The lad used to carry eggs and fruit to the kitchen of the Em- pero and one day that famous poten- tate caught him stoning a dog and sharply reproved him. Maurier was presented to Victor Emmanuel in 1863 and the King was much _ interested when he heard from Pierre’s own lips his memories of the great Napoleon. Figures may not lie, but they are often disappointing. Census figures, especially, are apt to fall below what is expected of them. The recent cen- sus of Canada shows a population of 5,338,833, which is an increase of 505,- 594 over the total of 1891. The gain of about ten per cent in ten years seems to many Canadians a meager result of a decade of prosperity, and of energetic efforts to promote immigration. But it is the rule nowadays nat city popu- lations grow faster than rural, and Canada has few cities. Only eighteen places in the Dominion have more than ten thousand inhabitants. But there remains the consolation that not all the elements of: national greatness are measured by a count of heads. Several articles of jewelry embedded in the flesh were discovered in the making of an autopsy on the body of Paul Shirvell, a Russian, who was killed in a mine in Pennsylvania. In the leg was a miniature dumbbell, about the size of a cuff button. In each instance the jewelry had been fastened in the man’s flesh, which had grown over the article, completely hid- ing it from view. On the body of Frank Lorenz, who committed suicide at White Haven recently, was found similar ornaments embedded in the flesh. It is believed Lorenz and Shir- vell were political exiles from Siberia, and that the fastening of jewelry in their bodies was a part of the punish- ment inflicted by prison authorities. Commodor Perry is a name high in honor in the Jnited States navy, hav- ing been the title of two famous broth- ers—Oliver Habard and Matthew Cal- braith Perry. On September 10th, eighty-eight years ago, the elder broth- er, a young lieutenant who had never seen a naval fight, fought that fierce. Battle of Lake Erie, which saved the Northwest to the United States and gave the world the dispatch: “We have met the enemy and they are ours.” Forty-eight years ago last July the younger brother landed in Japan with a message from the president which practically opened that country to the world. The Matthew Perry monument recently unveiled at Kurihama, Japan, is a shaft thirty-three feet high made of a rare native stove and bearing an inscription in gold written by Marquis Ito. A dense crowd of natives wit- nessed the ceremonies, both Japanese and American battleships fired salutes from the harbor, and one of the speak- ers was Rear Admiral Beardslee, who, as a midshipman under Perry, was present at the original entry. Henry J. Furber, Jr., professor of political economy at the Northwestern University, Evanston, f11., has been @ecorated with the Cross of the Legion of Honor, in recognition of his interest in the educational affairs of France. About five years ago Prof. Furber sug- gested to the French Minister of Pubiiz Instruction certain changes in the rules governing foreign students at- tending the French universities. The suggestions were adopted, and the charge was followed by a marked in- crease in the number of American students in French colleges. HRERRESHOFEK'S WHITE WONDER AGAIN DEFEATS THE SHAM~ ROCK. LIPTON ALMOST SECURES A RACE LEADS COLUMBIA AT THe FINISH BUT VOSES ON TIME AL- LOWANCE, IRISH BOAT MAKES BEST TIME GALLANT IRISH KNIGHT LEADS THE CHEERS FOR THE VICTOR, New York, Oct. 5.—With victory flags floating from ‘her towering mastheads and the ends of her spreaders in honor of her concluding triumph in the cup races of 1901, the gallant sloop Colum- bia returned to her anchorage last night under the escort of the entire ex- cursion fleet. She had completed her defense of the honored trophy in an- other stirring race with the Shamrock Il, over a leeward and windward course of thirty miles, crossing the finish line two seconds behind her an- tagonist, but winnirg on time allow- ance conceded by Lipton’s boat by forty-one seconds. For the second time she has now successfully foiled the attempt of the Irish knight to wrest from our pos- session the cup that means the yacht- ing supremacy of the world. And plucky Sir Thomas Lipton, standing, on the bridge of the Erin, led his guests in three hearty huzzas for the successful defender. “She is the better boat,” he said, “and she deserves to be cheered.” The series of races just closed will always be memorable as the closest ever sailed for the cup, and Sir Thom- as, although defeated, will go home with the satisfaction of knowing that his golden yacht is the Ablest Foreign Boat that ever crossed the western ocean, During both series of races not an un- toward incident has occurred, and Sir Thomas will return to England by far the most popular of all the foreigners who have challenged for the America’s trophy. Yesterday’s race, on paper, was the closest of the series, because of the flukiness of the wind on the beat home, but as a contest of the relative sea merits it is not to be compared with the magnificent, truly run»and nobly fought battles of Saturday and Thurs- day. The wind was strong and from the shore, embroidering the sea with foam and piling up no swell—ideal con- ditions for the challenger. The racers were sent away before the wind, each carrying a penalty for crossing the line after the handicay gun. No official record is kept of the time after that gun had been fired, but the experts with stop watches estimated Colum- bia’s handicap at fifteen seconds and Shamrock’s at thirty seconds. The contest of the yachts fleeing before the following wind was picturesque, but not exciting. Notwithstanding the fact that the Columbia beat the Shamrock before the wind last Saturday, the challenger yesterday Gained Slowly But Stendily all the way out and rounded forty-nine seconds before the defender, having actually gained one minute and four seconds. Immediately after the yachts turned their noses into the wind for the beat home the breeze moderated and turned fluky. The skippers split tacks, each searching for wind, with th? result that first one would get a lift and then the other. At one time Columbia seemed a mile ahead when with a sudden cant of the wind, allowed Shamrock to point nearer the mark and a mile from home the challenger ap- peared to be leading by fully half a mile. The talent began to feel ner- vous, but as the yachts approached the finish the Yankee skipper by some miraculous legerdemain, shoved his boat into the light air like a phantom ship, and one hundred yards from home the two racers were almost on even terms. It was a pretty sight and one seldom witnessed, when they crossed rail to rail, the white yacht’s bowsprit just lapping the golden boat’s mast. The usual pandemonium that attends the Final Yankee Victory in a cup contest followed. Whistles, sirens, bells, bands and cheerers united in a ‘grand chorus of jubilation, and 3. P. Morgan’s steam yacht Corsair added to the terrific din by firing a national salute of twenty-one gins. While taking his defeat gamely, Sir Thomas Lipton made no attempt to conceal the honest disappointment when he talked about the races last night on the Erin. “I am very disappointed,” he said. "1 can’t hide that. I thought within fifteen minutes of the finish that we had won. I was sure as my life we had won. It was a hard blow to be so near winning and then to lose. I should like to have got one race, just by way of consolation. It is a very hard thing to be beaten by a breath— by a few beats of the pulse. It has been a severe strain on me. I have worked so hard for many months now and I am glad it is ever... To have won would have been a joy greater than to- day’s disappointment. Columbia’s win to-day was fair and square and hon- orable.” BRITONS DISAPPOINTED. They Think That Lipton Deserved Better Luck. London, Oct. 5.—There is a feeling of supreme disappointment in London over the failure of Shamrock II. to win even a single race. Those who de- nounced Sir Thomas Lipton’s ambition, asserting that he was using his yacht to advertise his business interests, now admit that his sportsman’s spirit de- served a better result. When the American yacht was leading near the heme stretch the news was received in silence by the crowds on the embank- ment. There was never much betting in this country, and the disappoint- ment. among the masses is incere and general, THE MARKETS. Latest Quotations From Grain and Live Stock Centers.

RANSOM FOR MISS STONE. Nearly Half the Money Needed Has Been Raised. Boston, Oct. 9.—Nearly half the mon- ey needed to ransom Miss Ellen M. Stone, the missionary garian brigands, has been placed in the hands of Messrs Kidder, Peabody & Co, The exact figure at midnight last night were $45.543.40 cash and 500 in pledges. Of this amount the firm yesterday afternoon sent $35,000 to the state department to be forwarded to its consular agents at the place where it can be used mest expeditiously. Members of the firm were informed of the Asscciated Press /cablegram from London to the effect that Vienna ad- vices indicated that there would be a month's extension of t'me in which to pay the ransom, said that the forward- ing of money would not be delayed in the least. KING HAS DREAD DISEASE, Edward's Complaint Develops Into Family Trouble of Cancer. London, Oct. 9.—King Edward again went driving yesterday. Every effort is being made to reassure the public as to the condition of the monarch’s health, but it is learned, nevertheless, on indisputable authority, that his condition gives the physicians consid- erable anxiety. His majesty’s throat trouble has developed .into the family complaint of cancer and resembles the case of Empress Frederick. While in its early stage the disease, instead of yielding to treatment, has recently grown worse. The king’s recent letter to the tuberculosis congress urging ‘that they search for a cancer cure was in reality an appeal to the scientists of the world to save his own life. These statements will be officially denied, but the information is so positive and di- rect ‘that confirmation is only a ques- tion of time. ABOLISH ALL FREE PASSES. Radical Departure by Many Rail- ~oads. New York, Oct. 9.—A subcommittee representing all of the railroads in the Trunk Line association, the Central Traffic association and the Western Passenger association met in this city yesterday and voted to recommend the complete abolition of the free pass sys- tem, to take effect Jan. 1, 1902. This committee was appointed at a meeting of the presidents of about forty impor- tant railroad systems, held in this city last winter. Its work was designed to be supplemental to the action of the presidents in order that passes should not be given to influence traffic. It is proposed to stop the practice of issuing railroad passes, and no exceptions are to be made according to the recom- mendation adopted. Price of Potatoes Drops.: Fargo, N. D..

Philadelphia, Oct. 8. — Charged with ‘kidnapping a woman and holding her a prisoner for four days, robbing her of jewels, worth more than $2,000 and compelling her to sign bank checks for sums of money, is the story which the police unfolded here yesterday when they announced the arrest of a news- paper reporter, a society editor of a morning paper, a stenographer on an- other morning paper and a barber, whom the police charge with complic- ity in the crime. The men now locked up are Howard K. Sloan, an unem- ployed reporter; Henry Wallace, so- ciety editor of one of the morning pa- pers; J. Knight Findlay of Wayne, near here, stenographer in the business office of another morning paper, and Oscar Dunlap, a barber employed in one of the most prominent shops in the city. The victim is Mrs. Mabel Good- rich, the proprietor of an establish- ment on North Tenth street. Last Monday Mrs. Goodrich went to police headquarters and told a story of kidnapping and robbery so daring that the police at first doubted its truth. She said that for some time past « young man who represented himself as a resident of Germantown, had been a frequent visitor at her establishment. He was well dressed and spent money freely. Last Wednesday week he pro- posed a drive through Fairmount Park. He asked her to dress in her best clothes and for her to ‘Wear All Her Diamonds and other jewelry because on the re- turn from the drive he intended to take her to the finest dining room in the city and he wanted her to “shine” with the other women in the place. She accept- ed, and the next day she went out with him in a carriage with a pair of richly caparisoned horses and a coachman in the box wearing a stlyish livery. At a lonely place in Fairmount Park the carriage was stopped by a man whom he said represented himself as D. Clarence Gibbony, the secretary of the Law and Order society in this city. This man told her he had a warrant for her arrest on the charge of keeping a disorderly house, but that the matter could be fixed up. He was invited into the carriage and the next moment she was gagged and blindfolded. She was driven somewhere, she did not know where, but she noticed from one corner of the handkerchief over her eye that the men paid toll at two toll gates and took in a gateway where a heavily laden truck was standing. She was kept prisoner from Wednesday until Friday night without anything to eat or drink, and was then taken to anoth- er house, being driven, where she was kept until Saturday night. She was stripped of her jewelry by two men and compelled to sign checks on the Third National bank, where she had her money deposited. They made her sign for more than she possessed, but com- pelled her to promise to make up the deficiency ‘When She Was Released. One of the men, she says, then took her on a long carriage ride and put her out at Tenth and .Poplar streets, a mile from her home. With other in- formation the woman gave them the detectives began to work on what they believed to be a fairy tale. They gained several clews which led them to a fire engine house in Fort Wayne, fifteen miles from this city. The fire company is a volunteer organization and the key to the place is kept in the nearest dwelling. The nearest house was occupied by a family named Find- lay, and there the police fearned that one of the sons, J. Knight Findlay, had been home but little during the past two weeks. Getting a description of him the police returned to this city and found the young man, who is only twenty-one years of age, in the office where he is employed. He was charged with the crime and broke down and implicated three others. Findlay said that he had impersonated the coach- man; that Sloan, the unemployed re- porter, acted the part of Attorney Gib- boney; that the barber played the part of a rich Germantown resident, and that Wallace, the society editor, had rented a house in Germantown where Mrs. Goodrich was to have been held a captive. He told substantially the same story as that narrated by the woman. All the jewelry was recovered, most of it having been found in the posses- sion of Findlay and Sloan, who were weating several of the rings. Only one check for $155 was cashed and most of this money was also recovered. CRUSHED TO DEATH BY WIRF. Two Men Killed in Strange Accident at Alyena, Mich. Alpena, Mich., Oct. 8 — Two men were killed and three inSured by being crushed under heavy coils of wiré at the Page Fence company warehouse.

Carbondale, Ill., Oct. 8—The coro- ner’s jury summoned to inquire ito the killing of John C. Brown on the streets of this city Saturday rendered a verdict fully exonerating Rev. Joseph McCammish, who shot him.

St. Paul, Oct. 9.—The state board of control has rejected the proposition of compromise made Saturday by the nermal beard, providing that the nor- mal board would submit the financial management of the normal schools to the board of controi and that the re- gents be appointed purchasing agents. A letter was mailed yesterday to Pres- ident A. T. Ankeny, of the normal beard, stating the resident directors could not be appointed purchasing agents of the board of control on any terms. The letter, it is understood, also intimated that the board of con- trol would. waste no more time treat- ing with the normal board. The letter is the board of control's ultimatum. This makes necessary complete sur- render by the normal board or an ap- peal to the courts, as the state auditor has refused to allow any bills not ap- proved by, the board of control.

RANSOM STATE DEPARTMENT HAS FOR- WARDED A PORTION OF THE MONEY, i SEEKING MISS STONE’S RELEASE EFFORTS TO SECURE FREEDOM WITHOUT WAITING FOR FULL AMOUNT. TO BRING BULGARIA TO TIME INFLUE S MORE POTENT THAN THE STATE DEPARTME! AT WORK. Washington, Oct. 9.—The state depart- ment has transmitted to Spencer Eddy, secretary of the American legation at Constantinople a portion of the $110,000 demanded by the brigands for the release of Miss Stone, the American missionary now held for ransom. Mr. Eddy was in- structed to ascertain if Miss Stone's re- lease cannot be obtained for the sum transmitted instead of waiting for the entire amount. ‘There is little doubt that ¢he Turkish government has done all that it can be expected to do to run down the bandits, and what is now to be done is to secure similar action on the part of the Dulga- rian government, and to that end influ- ences more potent with the Slav races than that of the United States govern- ment.are now at work. The state depart- ment Officials deprecate most earnestly newspaper discussion of the measures it is taking in Miss Stone's behalf, claiming that it is being greatly embarrassed in its efforts by such publication. Consequent- ly the officials refuse to give any informa- tion concerning the case beyond merely the negative statement that they have not been informed of the reported exten- sion of one month allowed for the ransom of Miss Stone.
