The United States always has held that the protocol signed by the powers provided for the payment of the installments of the indemnity at the rate of exchange prevail- ing in April, 1901.

The claims of the powers always have been re- garded by the United States government as extortionate. A high official said on Fri- day : XThere is no question but that the pow- ers will attempt to practice extortion on China, foolish though that may be, for China is in dire straits financially and com- mercially. The United States bas always been China’s friend in this matter, simply because China is right in refusing to pay the indemnity at a higher rate of exchange than prevailed in April, 1901. ‘‘Just when the powers will take it upon themselves to threaten China with parti- tion or attempt sone other drastic measure remains to be seen. Moral sentiment is unquestionably on the side of China.” ——— ——The necrology of the closing year included many names known to fame in various avocations. Among statesmen were Tom Reed and Cecil Rhodes; from the army, Generals Wade Hampton and Franz Sigel ; from letters, Bret Harte, Frank R. Stockton, Paul Leicester Ford; Philip J. Bailey, who wrote ‘‘Festus,’’ and who many theught dead years befor ; Edward Eggleston, Zola, George Alfred Henty, Mss. Catherwood, and Frank Norris; from the world of art, Camille Urso, Carle Hoffman, Bierstadt, Constant. Tissot, and Thomas Nast. The stage lost Sol Smith Russell and Nate Saulsbury; from the field of science there vanished Schenck, the em- bryologist; Virchow, the famous cellular authority, and John W. Powell, the geolo- gist. The pulpit was bereft of Talmage, Communications | the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Rev. Dr. Parker. Among other notables were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Herr Krupp. The list was not longer than that of 1901, only the loss has not yet been adjusted. Young Wife Saves Husband. From Being 8hot by an Irate Female, Who Covered Him With a Revolver. Miss Lillian Rosenburg, of Akron. O., on Wednesday, drove to the home of William McDonald, Grampian, Pa., and demanded to see him. McDonald was recently mar- ried, and his young wife stated that he was upstairs. The Rosenburg woman brushed past the wife, rushed upstairs and pointed a revolver at McDonald. The trigger of the self acting revolver failed to work, and before she could do any harm the weapon was knocked out of her hand by the wife, who had followed the revengeful woman upstairs and drove away in her sleigh. She was arrested at Carwensville. Neither Me- Donald or Miss Rosenburg would tell what was the tronble between them, but it is be- lieved that it is a case of jealousy. ——Dr. Arthur MacDonald’s statistics show that the deaths from alcoholism, per million of population, are far more numer- ous in New York, San Francisco and Bos- ton, in the order named, than in Philadel- phia. St. Louis and Chicago closely follow Philadelphia The rate for New York is 219 and in Philadelphia 92. In suicides per mil- lion San Francisco is farabead of any other city, with 297,followed in order by St. Louis, Chicago, New York, Boston and Philadelphia where the rateis 93. It is curious that Chicago and St. Louis rank so high in sui- cide and comparatively low in alcoholism. Deaths from alcoholism and suicide are far more common in Philadelphia and New York than in their respective States, and the rate for alcoholism is far higher in the raral districts of the country than in the cities, but in suicides there is not much difference; the rate in cities is 9.29 per million, and in the rural districts 8. Crawled a Mile Over Ice. Man With a Broken Leg Had a Terrible Experience. Falling across the railroad and breaking his leg, James Stiffler, of Bridgeton, York county, crawled a mile over the ice on his hands and knees. Mr. Stiffler was returning home Thurs- day evening from a Christmas shooting mateh, and while crossing the railroad at Woodbine he fell and broke his leg. Be- ing alone, he simply had to crawl home. Smallpox Seized The Undertaker. Richard Haworth, an undertaker of Philipsburg, has the smallpox. About ten days ago he buried a smallpox victim and’ thereby contracted the disease. To a solitary negative, taken by an amateur photographer shortly before the destruction of the premises by fire, the public is indebted for the above picture of the home of Timothy Cole, the wood en- graver of whom American is so justly proud. Simplein his tastes and at that time imbued with the philosophies of Thoreau and Emerson, he built bis house in a quiet and than rather inaccessible part of Long Island in the neighborhood of Bath Beach called Indian Pond from a small sheet of water adjoining his grounds. In the little room of the tower, barely large enough to serve as his own work- shop, he entertained, without quitting work, his friends and visitors, which small space had also generally to accommodate two or even three of his pupils. Built af- THE HOUSE THAT COLE BUILT. ter Mr. Cole’s own design, and partaking somewhat of the owner’s eccentricity, it is not surprising that his visitors needed a constant remider not to knock their heads in ascending the low narrow staircase lead- ing to the tower, and that once safely in, anything amounting to physical activity needed stern repression in the interest of some valuable painting precariously sus- tained by a rickety easel while awaiting translation into black and white through the medium of the wood block. But, if the bodily activities were limited, not so the mental ! Mr. Cole delighted in reading to his friends passages from his favorite authors, interspersed with conversation, occasionally varying his unconscious enter- tainment with the strains of his violin, | taken down as the mood seized him from some place of comparative safety somewhat nearer the roof. Thus he lived at Indian Pond, until his departure for Europe, to engage upon the monumental work of the old masters, often working at his engraving far into the quiet night to compensate for the long time given to social intercourse and the advance of his pupils. The housedid not long sur- vive its change of ownership, but its some- what ungainly architectural proportions will always remain, transformed and soft- ened, in the partial memory of those whose privilege is was to enjoy the rare hospital- ity and mental stimulus of the gifted and very human hermit hidden there with wife and children from the noise and tumult of the cities, walks and ways. Starves to Death in Streets of New York. Stalwart Younq Pole Falls to Pavement Crying “t Am Hungry.” NEw YORK, December 30.—A stalwart young man died of starvation to-day as he was wandering through Elm street looking for food. He has not been identified. He walked slowly to Kennedy's saloon, ab Elm and White streets, about noon, opened the door and walked away. He wore no coat or hat or waistcoat. The man stopped before Ahearn’s bar and restaurant, at Elm and Fraoklin streets. He opened the door and looked in. A score of men were sitting at little tables eating steaming soups and roast meats. The man saw a ‘‘bouncer’’ wave his hand toward the street, and went away. At the Raub restaurant be had the same experience. He staggered weakly from thedoor. Policeman Stephenson took him by the arm. “What's the matter, there, friend ?’’ he asked. The man turned his sunken eyes on the policeman and pointed to his body. “I am hungry,” said he in Polish. William Kane, a watchman, saw the man stagger and started toward bim, when suddenly the man pressed his hands against his body, sank to his knees, and fell over on the pavement. As he tried to rise Kane, Stephenson and two other men ran to pick him up. “I am hungry,’, hesaid again. He was carried into a stable, where he died. The Coroner decided that death was caused by starvation. Trying te Obtain Wife by a Raffle. Farmer Sells 717 Tickets on Himself at 25 Cents Apiece. Drawing To-Night. Secaucus, N. J., Dec. 31.—J. W. Mil- ler, a farmer, has adopted an unique plan to obtain a wife. Miller owns twenty- seven acres of farm land, is fifty-seven years old, five feet five inches in height, has a long red beard and red hair. In 1889 he left his wife and has been a hermit since. About a year ago he decided to get an- other wife and inserted an advertisement in matrimonial papers. This failing, he de- cided to raffle himself off. He offered to sell tickets at twenty-five cents to all wo- men from the age of eighteen to fifty years. offering them a comfortable home and a good husband. He has sold 711 tickets and the drawing will take place to-morrow night at his farmhouse. Woman Buraed to Death. Exhausted After Fruitless Efforts to Extinguish Flames. Sarah, wife of J. V, Shultz, A Washing- ton county farmer, was burned to death Friday near Brocks by her clothing catch- ing fire at a cooking stove. She was alone and made a heroic effort to put out the flames with her bare hands and by rolling in the snow, but, finding this unsuccessful, she ran to a neighbor’s. She fell exhaust- ed near the house, and when found her clothing, except her shoes, was burned from her body. No Longer Necessary. ‘“‘Do you still rely on your burglar alarm 2’ ; “Oh, no. We have a baby now, yon know, and if any burglar can find a time during the night when some one isn’t up with the baby he’s welcome to all he can get.”’— Chicago Post. ——When what is known as pension day falls on Sunday, the following Monday be- comes the legal time for transacting the business of the day. Monday was therefore pension day, and the offices of notaries and justices of the peace who handle pension papers for pensioners was busy places throughout the day. ——Robert Walters, the boy who had his skull fractured while coasting down hill in Altoona was operated on at the hospital Saturday and a piece of bone about three inches long and an inch wide, which had heen badly splintered by the accident, removed. A Desperate Condition. An Irish servant girl one day asked her mistress what was the meaning of the word ‘‘kismet.”” After thinking a little while, the mistress said : “Why, Bridget, it is another name for fate.’ A day or so afterwards the mistress dis- covered Bridget hobbling down the stairs, evidently in great pain and walking very lame. ‘Why, what on earth is the matter with you ?’’ she asked. ‘‘Oh, sure, ma’am,’’ was the reply, ‘I’ve got bunions on my kismet.’”’—Baltimore Sun. ——The dog that spends most of its time barking is not the dog that findsa ready purchaser. In fact it is hard to give him away. It is pretty well understood that the dog which is best at barking is not good for much else. And there isa striking resemblance hetween dogs and boys in this respect. The boys who are all the time telling big stories ahont whas they have done or what they are going to do, cannot be expected to amount to much beside. You will never need a very large book to keep track of all that is accom- plished by a braggart.—The Young People’s Weekly. A Good Policy. The Dry Goods Economist says of one store with which it is familiar: “Every employee in it seems to be good natured. Why should there be any difference in this respect between this establishment and the average store? Is not human nature about the same the world over? True, but there is a difference. The proprietor of this store is not only a merchant, but a gentleman. He treats his em- ployees with marked courtesy and con- sideration. As a consequence they feel so kindly disposed toward him and his business that their good will is re- flected in their treatment of his cus- tomers.” Some storekeepers never find out why it is that so few of their casual customers become regulars. Leigh Hunt’s Breakfast Bouquets. Leigh Hunt, that early day sesthete, declared breakfast to be the meal of all others when the poetic influence of a table posy was to be desired. He would bring in a few clover heads or sprigs of grass culled from beneath the pro- tecting bars of a park railing or city square if he could find nothing more beautiful, and with these to look at his fancy took him roaming out into bound- less green fields and pastures new. Gave Him a Start. “Now, then,” said the auctioneer, holding up a pair of antique silver can- dlesticks, “give me a start.” “Twenty-five cents,” came from a voice at the back of the room. “What!” exclaimed the horrified auc- tioneer. “Ah,” said the bidder in an under- tone and with a chuckle, “I thought that would give him a start!” Signs of Prosperity. “How do you get the reputation of being so much richer than you are?” asked the intimate friend. “Very easi- Iy. I wear my old clothes as long as possible and never admit that I have any money that I could lend. People take it for granted that I must be pros- perous.”—Washington Star. : How He Felt About It. “I wish 1 could give up work and take a long rest.” “Youd do it if you could, would you?” “Well, I'm not sure I'd do it if I could. It’s one of those things you’d like to do when you can’t.”—Brooklyn Life. 2 imme Readers of the Pitsburg Dispatch Made Happy. The New Year’s number of The Pitts- burg Dispatch was a great treat to its many readers. It consisted of 32 pages (just think of it?), containing a complete re- sume of events of 1902, accurate and relia- ble. It was not only of interest to the bundreds of thousand of Dispatch readers inthe Pittsburg territory, but invaluable to all, no matter where, for it was a ready reference to thousands of useful and inter- esting items. Undoubtedly it was the best pumber of its kind ever published, and one whicb could be issued only by one of the greatest journals in the United States. No wonder The Dispatch enjoys the larg- est circulation of any Pittsburg paper! It is the only 2c morning paper published in that city, and that partly accounts for its wonderful popularity. The people know it pays to buy the best, and it holds goods with The Dispatch, for very few think of the trifling 4 cents difference (the daily being only 1Ce by the week). Those who are not now taking The Dis- patch should at once subscribe, as they will not regret it. When yon do subscribe, ask Willard Hall to send and get you a copy of that great Review Edition. It alone is worth the price of a six months’ subscrip- tion. Pittshurgers should be proud of their great paper. Personally-Conducted Tours via Penn- sylvania Railroad Season of 1902-1903.
