Arehdnha Otto, the future emperor
or Auatrla, la an artlat of great talent.
He poaaeaaea taU own atudlo In the
Academy of Pine Arta in Vienna, and

tera ot the cavalry corpa which he
comraanda and hla atudlo. The arch-
duke haa frequently exhibited hla work
anonymonaly, In order that It might
aland on Ita merit* and not be favor
ably criticised because of hla rank.
According to a writer In the St.
James Octette, a part of the credit for
the wonderful development of Japan
In clvlllaation la due to the Empress
Haroka. She married the emperor
thirty years ago, and, like him, la a
strong supporter of western Ideas, The

Diamonds have been found la con-
siderable numbers and of very Bne
quality In the Interior of British
Guiana, oa the M&xarunI River 250
miles above lta Junction with the Es-
eequlbo. Mr. Moulton, our consul at
Demerara, aaya that the London deal-
ers to whom the atones have been for-
warded consider them superior to
South African diamonds and equal in
quality to those of Brasil. The pres-
ent diggings are altuated in a tropical
Jungle live miles from the river, and
the region la not easily reached. The
matrix from which the gems have be-
come scattered Is now the object of
search.
It la widely supposed that the disease
called ‘'appendicitis” was unknown to
the medical profession until the last
quarter of the present century. But
en old London doctor, who writes upon
the subject In the Lancet, says there
is uothlng new about it, except “the
uame and the treatment” The disease
-was well described In the older medical
books, and was then called “typhlitis.
But Its real character was rarely veri-
fied except by poBt-mortem examina-
tion, whereas modern surgery, with Us
anaesthetic and antiseptic aids, If sum-
moned In time, is able to save nearly
every patient who is not exhausted by
nge or otherwise depleted.
Sir John Murray recently showed
how remarkably the Black Sea differs
from other seas and oceans. A surface
current flows continuously from the
Black Sea into the Mediterranean, and
an under current from xthe Mediter-
ranean into the Black Sea. The lat-
ter current Is salt, and, being heavier
than the fresh water above, it remains
stagnant at the bottom. Being sat-
urated with sulphuretted hydrogen
this water will not maintain Ufe, and
so the Black Sea contains no living in-
habitants below the depth of about 10C
fathoms. The deeper water when
brought to the surface smells exactly
like rotten eggs.
One of the churches of Chester, Pa.,
has introduced what is a novelty there
—a penny concert. These concerts are
held in the church on each Friday ev-
ening, being chiefly designed for chil-
dren. The church has always been
crowded on these occasions, both little
and big people attending in great num-
bers. They are charged 1 cent admis-
sion to an entertainment that is worth
many times more, and which is whole-
some and Instructive. The smaller
children are always given the center
seats in front, the larger ones' the side
seats. It is so distinctively an afTair
for children that the big people who
attend have to content themselves witt
the back seats is there are any left.

Pissed by the Senate After Amend-
ing, to Please Indian?,
SETTLES MINERAL LEASES.
Washington, Jan, 8.—The senate in
short order passed the two bllle ratify-
ing and confirming the agreement
with the Cherokee and Creek tribes of
Indians in the Indian Territory. No
changes were made in the senate and
the' bills were passed as they came
from the house, with the exception of
the amendment made by the senate
committee. The senate committee
etruck out the townsite provision of
the house, and substituted a paragraph
that all towns in the Cherokee nation
having the present population of ‘.’00 or
more, shall be surveyed, layed out and
appraised under the provisions of the
appropriation bill passed last spring,
whloh was approved May 91, last
This la in lieu of sections 16-17-18 of
the house bill providing for separate
townsite committees for each town
and directing how the same shall be
constituted and also how all contro-
versies of claims of town lots shall be
determined. The senate also struck
out the mineral provisions adopted by
the bouse as Sat forth in section 82 of
the house bill changing the provision
in the treaties with the Chickasaw*
and Choctaws in this respect, that
Instead of the proceeds of the sale of
minerals going to the school fund they
go to the Indians direeV The same
changes in regard to townkites apply
to the Creek treaty, as do also the
provisions relating to the mineral
leases. Touching the matter of town-
sites as compared with the treaties
with the Chickasaws and Choctaws,
the present treaties require the work
to he done under the provisions of the
last appropriation bill, while under
the other treaties the matter is left to
* permanent committee in each town.
The treaties will probably be referred
back to the house for conference, and
It is expected that Representatives
Curtis, of Kansas; Lacey, of Iowa, and
Little, of Arkansas, will be the house
referees.
Senator Culberson, of Texas, intro-
duced a bill to authorize the Paris,
Choctaw & Little Rock Railway com-
pany to construct and maintain a
bridge, across Red river and to con-
struct and operate a line of railway,

Washington, Jan. A—The importa-

cials at New York to waive the cus-
toms tax of in cents per bushel on the

Wilson will oome to the relief ot the
Kansas farmers, and, if necessary, im-

United States government and then
distribute It to the farmers.
This is exactly in line with what the
department has been trying to bring
about,” said Secretory Wilson to Mr.
Bowersock. “And you can rest assured
that thia department will render your
constituents all the aid within its
power. If Secretary Gage cannot
remit the duties on the Importation of

department here, ship it to Kansas

RUSSIA ACTING A RIDDLE.
A recent number of The Railway
Journal contains a story of a railway
ycket which took a sudden journey on
Its own account. As the north-bound
train on the Colorado and Southern
road passed one of the stations a pas-
senger in i forward car raised a win-
dow, and in an instant his ticket was
blown from his hands out of doors.
The passenger naturally gave It up for
lost, and was very much surprised
when the baggagemaster handed It to
him a little while later. It appears
that when the ticket flew through the
window a south-bound train was pass-
ing. The suction, of that train, which
was going at a rapid rate, drew the
ticket along with it. and as it passed
the rear end ot the north-bound train
it blew Into the door of the smoking
car. There it was found by the bag

Short Hut Momentous.
Topeka, Jan. £..—The shortest bill
that will be introduced at the coming
session of the legislature and the one
that will precipitate the fiercest fight
will be the following.
Be it enacted by the legislature of the
state of Kansas:
That chapter 13. of the laws of 1899,
is hereby repealed.
That is all there is to it, but it is a
significant measure. Chapter 13 is the
law passed at the last session provid-
ing for the location and erection of a

Atlir. Prepared for Winter.
New York, Jan. 3.—The Associated
Press dispatches from Pekin say the
cold weather has fairly set in and the
allied forces are beginning to feel the
first touches of the rigorous North
China winter. A superb autumn has
greatly aided the army in ge tting in
supplies and at thia time it !s stated
that sufficient provisions and equip-
ments are now in Pekin to last for the
aix months of the practically closed
season.
Professor Campbell of the Lick Ob-
servatory reports that the star called
2C1 Gemlcorum, which has long been
known as a variable, is in reality
double, but its two components are ao
dose that no telescope is able to sep-
arate them, and tbeir existence it
proved by the shifting lines in the
-spectrum. The variations in bright-
ness, he thinks, can only be due to the
attraction between the two stars rais-
ing immense tides in their molten or
'Vaporous globes, which, through the
effects of compression or otherwise,
displace the spectral lines.

Washington, Jan. 7.—Tha state de-
part mantis making a strong effort to
•score an understanding among the
powers to serve aa a basis for the ad-
justment of toe question of indemnity
to be paid by the Chinese government.
It appears from Mr. Conger’s reports
that it la hopeless to expect the foreign
ministers at Pekin to reach an agree-
ment on this Important subject and if
the problem la to be solved at all, it
must be removed from the Pekin in
council and dealt with by direct
diplomacy.
The principle difficulty in the way is
believed to be the enormous Indemnity
demanded by some ot the powers.
It la believed that the bill of Ger-
many will be by far the largest and it
Is a significant fact that the German
government has allowed Ita officers on

salaries, a rate of pay hitherto un-
known in military history. The Chi-
nese, however, are expected to pay for
very best variety."

hension hero. As indicated in recent

A VETERAN SPEAKS.
Th* Honorable Motet B. Crane of Ta-
eom*, Wash., Telit How Old Soldlen
Mnj Help Themselves*
Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 6, 1991.—(Spe-
cial.)—“I used to have Heart Disease,
but thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pilla I
now have Heart's Ease.
“Five years ago I was a continual
sufferer of Heart Disease. Exposure
during the war, and a tendency to grow
over fleshy, had greatly aggravated
this dread disease. X often had to sit up
half the night. I had It so bad when I
would lie down. Life looked pretty blue
to me, as 1 thought there was no relief,
until one day I read an advertisement
of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I bought a box
that same day, and It was the best
day’s work 1 ever did. Before I had
used all the first box I could eat and
Bleep better than I had done for many
years, and after Hire; months’ faithful
treatment, my health was completely
restored. 1 am an old man now, but
my step Is as elastic and my brain as
clear as when I was thirty years of
age.”
These are the words of the Hon
Moses B. .Crane, secretary of Odia
Lodge, No. 123, I. O. 0. F. of this city.
The Hon. Mr. Crane is also Senior
Vice-Commander of 0. A. R. Post No

Th "8 who knew Mr. Crane have the
falh ; confidence In his honesty and
truthfulness, and know that he would
not give tnis unsolicited testimonial
unless he had actually experienced the
relief which he Indicates in his letter,
Dodd's Kidney Pills are having a won-
derful sale among Mr. Crane’s friends
—and their name is legion—In this
part of the country. There does not
seem to be a single case of Heart Dis-
ease, Kidney or Bladder Weakness, or
Rheumatism, that Dodd's Kidney Pills
do not permanently cure.
