She is guarded from communication with the outside world as jealously as if she were still in Aylesbury prison. Though the fresh Cornwall air is bringing the color back to her cheeks, the strain of her fourteen years of confinement, commencing with the im- position of the death sentence, passed under the severe discipline of various prisons, is still evident in her care- worn look. She takes her meals in silence and is not allowed to converse except on religious topics during the a At tea time, when for an in- terval the sisters are permitted to talk of mundane things, Mrs. Maybrick re- tires to her own room. She must be in bed by 9 o'clock. No newspapers are allowed her and only such books as are given her by the sisters. remain in charge of the sisters until she Is released next July, though be- fore that time, when the weather im- proves, she will be removed probably to the convalescent home under the same management, which is lgcated in one of the wildest spots on the Cornish coast. In her present sanctuary Mrs. May- brick appears to be happy by com- parison. Many members of the Eng- lish aristocracy are inmates of the home and hence Mrs. Maybrick's ar- rival caused no comiment. She was driven from the Truro railroad sta- tion to the home in Miss Dalrymple’s private carriage and remained in strict incognito for nearly a fortnight. | The acting mother superior is one of | the few who know of the identity of | the visitor and she guards her from all interviews with a vigilance worthy an old time abbess. This sister ab- solutely refused to convey a letter or a message to Mrs. Maybrick from a representative of the Associated Press. A rescue home for fallen girls and a laundry for their employment is carried on in connection wjth the Epiphany convent. Mrs. Maybrick’s somewhat anoma- lous status was ezplained as follows to the Associgted Press representa- and ticket of leave. has not even been released on Those in charge of her are practically her jailers and all commrunication with her is forbidden except through the Home Secretary.” These appear to be the official in- structions which accompanied Mrs. Maybrick on her departure from the Aylesbury prison.

General Bristow Won- dering Whether He Will Get Re- port 6r Read of Funeral. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow received information recently from the Sheriff in a little town in Texas which caused him immédiately to order a postoffice inspector to visit the place and investigate conditions in the postoffice there. Mr. Bristow isn’t exactly sure whether he is going to hear from the inspector or read an ac- count in some newspaper of his ob- sequies. He is hoping for the best, however. According to the Sheriff's letter, the citizens of the little Texas town would like to have the Postmistress “toned down.” He explains that the presid- | ing genius of the office has undertaken to improve the manners of the resi- dents of the town, which he admits are somewhat ragged from disuse. But the means adopted to attain this praise- worthy end are considered rather harsh. The Postmistress will not permit any | citizen of the town to enter the office with his hat on, and when the Mayor, resident is a trifle forgetful and strolls up to the counter with his head cov- ered the Postmistress enforces her de- sire with a brace of Colt's 45s. “We don't set up any claim that our | manner§.are all they should be,” says | the Sheriff, “but we'd like to be reas- | oned with and helped along. The Post- | mistress here is a worthy woman, all { right, and there ain’t a thing against | her character, but she certainly is rude | and basty. | “There’s another thing we don’t think is fair. The Postmistress won't let ! niggers and greasers come in the office | under any consideration. We ain’t over- | fond of niggers and greasers ourselves, but it is sure discommeoding for the | leading citizens to have to go to the | postoffice personally to get the mail | just because this lady don’t like to see | | anything but a gentleman.” | Mr. Bristow thought the case de- | served consideration and dispatched an | ingpector to the scene.—~Washington j Staf. —_— e | Disaffection in the Dutch Army. A soldier in the garrison of Amster- dam recently refused to return to arms | owing to coscientious scruples, and was | condemned by the Haarlem court-mar- | tial to three months' imprisonment. The incident has aroysed much indig- nation among anti-militarists, Com- mittees were formed in different towns | to defend the soldier's interests, and | pamphlets were scattered broadcast throughout the country upholding his | attitude. The episode has attracted much at- tention in the’ press, and it has been proposed as & solution to transfer the | soldier in question to the infirmary de- | - partment.

The sub-commitiee spent most of | the day in discussing the seating ar-| | rangements of the Coliseum. On the | projection of the platform near the speakers will be seats for the chair-| man- of the national committee, the | chairman of the convention and the | sergeant at arms. Back of them, on | a platform elevated 43 feet, come the fifty-one members of tlie national com- | mittee. Back of them has been ar-| ranged an incline with 460 seats for | distinguished guests, party leaders, ete. The press circle, accommodating about 230 men, is arranged in a semi- | circle around the speakers’ stage and the platform occupied by the national | committee. Press seats will be allotted | only to ss representatives actually | telegraphing reports ‘'of the progress | {of the -convention. All tickets and badges for the convention, Including | those for reporters, delegates, alter-| nates, etc., will be given out by the | sergeant at arms at the headquarters | of the committee on arrangements at | the Auditorium Annex on June 20, the day before the convention. { The allotment of press tickets, | Stone explains, to actual newspaper | reporters, excludes absolutely repre- | sentatives of trade papers, weekly | journals and the like. Applications | for seats in the press section, it is an- | nounced, must be addressed at Ser- | #gant at Arms Stone at the Custom- house, Baltimore.

After a | long and eventful career, Menelik suc- }ceeded in securing the independence | of his country by a treaty signed at | Adis-Abeba, August 26, 1896.. Up to| | the present time the different states | {and provinces of Abyssinia are ruled | |over in a manner almost feudal by | | | }governors, called rases. Each ras has his own military force.

GIVE YOUR STOMACH | A NICE VACATION | Don’t Do It by Starving It Either. Let a Substitute D6 the Work. The old adage, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” applies | | just as well to the stomach, one of the | most important organs of the human | system, as it does to the man himself. | If your stomach is worn out and | rebels against being further taxed be- | yona its limit, the only sensible thing you can do is to give it a rest. Em- | ploy a substitute for a short time and | see if it will net more than repay you in results, Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are a willing and most efficient substitute. They themselves digest every bit of | food in the stomach in just the same way that the stomach itself would were it well. They contain all the es- | sential elements that the gastric juice | |and other digestive fluids of the ' | stomach contain and actually act just the same and do just the same work as the natural fluids would do, were the stomach well and sound. They there- fore relieve the stomach, just as one workman relieves another, and permit | it to rest and recuperate and regain its normal health and strength. This ‘“‘vacation” idea was suggested by the letter of a prominent lawyer in Chicago. Read what he says: “I was engaged Iin the most momentous un- | dertaking of my life in bringing about | the coalition of certain great interests that meant much to me as well as my clients. It was not the work of days, but of months; I was working night | and day almost, when at a very critical time my stomach ‘went clear back on | me. The undue mental strain brought it' about and hurried up what would have happened later on. “What I ate I had to literally force down and that was a source of misery, as I had a sour stomach much of the time, My head ached, I was sluggish and began to lose my ambition to carry out my undertaking. It looked | | pretty gloomy for me and I confided | my plight to one of my clients. He had been cured by Stuart'’s Dyspepsia Tablets and at once went down to a drug store and brought a box up to the office. “I had not taken a quarter of that box before I found that they would do all, the work my stomach ever did; ! and as a rest or vacation was out of the question for me, I determined to | give my stomach a vacation. I kept right on taking the tablets and braced renewed vigor, ate just as much as I ever did and carried out that under- taking to a successful issue. I feel that I have Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets to thank for saving me the handsomest | fee I ever received, as well as my repu- tation, and, last but not least, my stomach.” : Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by all druggists at 50 cents a box.

SAN FRANCISCO CALL BUREAU N THE NORTH Montana Man Makes Discovery of Ancient Engineering Work | ar the Great Slave Lake Epecial Dispatch to The Call. BOZEMAN, Mont, Feb. 6.—An- nouncement has been made here to- day of the discovery of extensive pre- historic engineering work in British North America. The discovery was made by Alexander S. Christie Sr., a well-known civil engineer of this city, who now is engaged in writing an ex- tensive article on the work. The relics were found near McLeods Bay at the northeastern end of the Great Slave Lake. The work is excavated in a solid rock formation and it is covered sys- tematically with rock-cut inscriptions, Christie made a partial exploration and brought away copies of a large body of inscriptions and a record of forty-six measurements. He since has suec- ceeded in establishing the fact that the inscriptions purely are alphabetic and in several Instances has solved their meaning. He expects soon to re- turn and remain a year or more. ————e e The Charm of Neatness, There is an exquisite charm about a- neatly dressed woman. She does not wear her halr twisted up carelessly, as if just about to fall over her shoul- ders. Her gloves are not ripped at the seams, nor are any buttons miss- ing from her boots. Her veil does not reveal a hole over her chin, nor does the binding of her skirt show ragged in places. ot many women show their tidi- ness in all these little details, but it is a pleasure to meet the girl or woman who is, to use a slang term, “well groomed.” The cloth gown of such a woman fite her without a crease, and there is neither speck nor spot on it. Her linen collar and cuffs are snowy white and remain properly fixed in their places. Her gloves do not wrinkle, but button smoothly over her wrists. Her shoes are kept clean and polished. Her bonnet or hat is pinned on straight and her hair is neatness it- self. She is the picture of delicate finish and wholesome order. Would that we could come across her some- what oftener!—Washington Star. —_— .

Birmingham has been able to boast of being the best governed city in the | kingdom ever since the days when Jo- seph Chamberlain was confining his en- ergies to municipal management. But now the vexed question of liquor Ii- censes has brought a reaction against the reform movement. For nearly a decade Arthur Chamberlain has been deputy chairman of the magisterial bench, and therefore, according to cus- tom, the chgirman of the licensing committee. uring a large portion of that time he has been working for the suppression c¢f unnecessary licenses and against the principle of regarding an annual Mcense as a perpetual per- mission to traffic in liquor. The whole forces of trade have been gathered to | carry Mr. Chamberlain's position; and during his absence from England in sdarch of health he has been turned out of his deputy chairmanship by a two- General Chaffee’'s Way of Working. The Buffalo Commercial says that every army officer who has served in the West in the old days of Indian fighting has his story to tell about Lieutenant General Chaffee. When the Apaches were on the warpath years ago he was a captain of the Sixth Cav- alry. Just as he was ready to leave to round up a lot of the Indians he called at the post telegraph office. “Have you any further orders for me?” he asked. “No, sir,”” the operator replied. “The wires are not working very well to- day.” “I am not surprised,” said Chaffee, as he turned to order his advance; “I had them cut early this morning.
