As Others See Us. The American man is more consist ently considerate of and generous tc women than any follow on earth, and in no country does he get sharper snubbing for liis pains, says a writer in the London Chronicle. The hand ling of husbands by wives in America amounts to an art, a profession, al most a science. Based on the theory that the more one has to do the more one can accomplish, ladies who have hard-working, enterprising spouses simply retire from active life." If he manages his office and business satis factorily, why not take over the house and servants? What is known a*, "a good husband" in the states is a first class, non-tiring money-making ma chine, who gives everything, asks nothing and brags ceaselessly of his wife's perfections. Should he presume to criticise a charred chop or a flat souffle or complain at the size of the draper's bills, he is set down as a brute, and the wife is pitied as a first class martyr! For such sins as tho above two men of my acquaintance were forced to live in hotels a year at a time. They had committal the crime of finding fault with the impeccable sex, and were reduced to subjection by having their homes taken from them. For my part I think the Briton's way is best. Anti-Kissing Women. A little red button worn by some 300 women, old and young, married and indifferent, among the leading social sets of the City of Mexico, marks a new departure, or, rather, a new step, in progress, says the Los Angeles Times. This little, round, red button signifies membership in what is known at the Anti-Kissing league. Members of the league take solemn pledge not to kiss each other, in public or private, but put it on the ground that kissing is contagious, or. rather, the means of conveying contagious diseases from one fair lip to another. There is noth ing visible to the naked eye in the con stitution of this league against kissing other than members of the female per suasion, and, in fact, the practice, aside from the supposed danger of in fection, is decidedly, to the male sense, not only deplorable, but unnecessary. When one woman takes two or three minutes of time in a street car to kiss three or four other women before alighting from the car she certainly violates the golden rule by making all those passengers wait, llow far this new league will conduct its offensive and defensive campaign remains to be ecen. Chance for Composers. I wish some one would write a new wedding hymn or two. as there is a great need for more appropriate ones than are generally used at present, says a writer in the Lady's Pictorial. In spite of the dismal tale of failures set forth in newspaper correspondence, ??nd the lamentably ill matched pairs in "double harness" lately introduced to us, one does like a young couple to be launched into the new life with fiome signs of rejoicing, and the hymns ought certainly to have a festal tone vather than that of a dirge. "Oh. Per fect Love," though a most beautiful hymn, and now very generally used at weddings, is unsuitable, because set to music of intense sadness, and the line, "Theirs be the peace that cairns all earthly strife," though of course, not intended to be taken in that way, is really too terribly suggestive of what may ensue. "The voice that breathed o'er Eden," is very much more suitable, and as it has now been restin:; for some time, pending the composition of new ones, it might well be revived. While a district of Columbia meas ure was before the house the other aft ernoon Congressman Bartlett, of Geor gia, being in a pesky mood, raised the point of no quorum. Speaker Cannon sent some messengers out for absen tees and then proceeded to count the house in very leisurely fashion. Try as he could, he was unable to make the required number. A clerk at tho -desk said something to him as to the probable whereabouts of certain mem bers, and Mr. Cannon answered in a stage whisper: "All right; you go hus tle em in while I count slow again." THE DEADLOCK IN DELAWARE The Legislature Adjourned Sine Die Without Electing a United States Senator. Dover, Del., March 24. —The forty seventh Joint ballot for United States senator was started at noon Thursday and resulted as follows: Addieks 15, Henry A. Dupont 14, Saulsbury 13, Hughes S, Coleman Dupont 2. Total vote 52; necessary to a choice 27; no election. A motion was then made for the separation of the joint session, but it was deefated by 27 nays to 25 yeas. Two more ballots were taken, the only change being the transfer of T. C. Dupont's two votes to State Sena tor Simeon S. Pennewill. There was no change in the fourth ballot and a recess was taken until 1:30 p. m. Immediately after the reassembling of the joint, session Senator Rose, democrat, moved that the joint assem bly separate. A viva voce vote was taken and President Pro Tem. Conner, of the senate, who was presiding, de clared the motion carried. Senator Pennewill demanded a di vision and called for the ayes and nays, but President Conner told him he was too late and declared the joint assembly separated. The vacancy in the United States senate from Delaware will therefore continue until the next session of the legislature, which convenes in Janu ary, 1907, unless there is an election by an extra session. MAKE IT A DAY OF SOBRIETY Anti-Saloon League Intends to Re deem the Fourth of July from Misuse. Columbus, 0., March 24. —The American Anti-Saloon league has de clared for the "redemption of the Fourth of July from its prevalent mis use." National Superintendent P. A. Baker outlined the plan yesterday. It is proposed to interest every tem perance organization in the United States, and as far as possible to hold patriotic temperance meetings in every county in the country on July 4, 1905, and every year thereafter. The matter has been brought to the attention of every national church or ganization. The Methodists through the secretary of the executive commit tee of the board of managers of the temperance society of the church, re quest the Anti-Saloon league to con duct the movement. The league has 44 churches or ganized and has sub-district societies and upon the latter will largely de pend the success of the movement. They are to secure prominent speak ers, music and various attractions for meetings to be held in public places. Six Men Drowned. Charleroi, Pa., March 24. —During a heavy fog Thursday William Higgins, a ferryman at Lock No. 4, attempted to row five men across the Mononga hela river in a skiff. When in mid stream the ferryman lost his way and the boat was carried over the dam and capsized. The occupants were thrown into the stream, but before their call for assistance could be answered they were swept out of sight. Several h >urs later the ferryman's yawl was located over a mile below the dam, but none of the bodies have been re covered. The names of the five men are unknown. A Double Execution. Pittsburg, March 24. —Two men were hanged here Thursday and the first unsuccessful hanging was record ed in Allegheny county. Reno Dardaia went to the scaffold first and his neck was broken. William J. Byers follow ed him and when the trap was sprung the loop of the noose pulled away, precipitating him to the ground. For a minute he staggered around under the scaffold and then Sheriff Dickson caught him. The rope was again ad justed and Byers was again placed on the scaffold and the trap sprung. This time there was no mishap. The War in the Far East. Gunsliu Pass, March 24. —Reports persist of Japanese turning move ments on both ilanks of the Russian army. Captured Japanese report an affray in the streets of Mukden on March 10, when a big detachment of Russians, the last to leave the city, were entrapped by Chinese bandits and a few Japanese soldiers, who closed the city gates and blocked the narrow streets. According to the re port, which is not confirmed, not a Russian escaped. A Famous Woman Dies. Langton, Ont., March 24. —Abigail Becker, famed in song and story throughout Canada, is dead at her home at Welsingham Centre.

Whiteman, of Dansville, N. Y., last night was acquitted on a charge of grand larceny. There still are five indictments against Whiteman on charges of grand larceny, forgery and attempted larceny. All these charges are based on the transaction involved in the trial just ended. A Deserter's Punishment.

EXPLOSION KILLED MINERS 6ix Men Dead and Four Injured la the Result of a Disaster at Princeton, Ind. Princeton, Ind., March 23.—Six miners dead and four injured, two fa tally, is the result of an explosion in the mine of the Princeton Coal and Mining Co. Wednesday afternoon. Of the dead all but Dill were dead when found in the mine. Their bodies were rescued two hours after the ex plosion, the delay being caused by the inability of the rescuers to combat after damp. The five injured, includ ing George Dill, who later died, were brought to the surface 30 minutes af ter the explosion. They were found heaped together in an unconscious state. When the explosion occurred most of tthe miners had left, the mine. Whether the explosion was a prema ture shot or an overcharge is not known. Within a short time after the ex plosion the wives and relatives of the miners surrounded the mouth of tho shaft and anxiously awaited each as cension of the cage. The miners worked heroically and a number were overcome by the foul air which filled the mine. The explosion hurled sup porting timbers in every direction. THE RIVERS ARE FALLING. Crest of the Flood Reached Wheeling Late Last Night. Wheeling, W. Va., March 23. —The river reached its maximum height here at 10 o'clock last night with 42 feet 7 inches on the gauge. It began falling shortly after 10 and at mid night was receding an inch an hour. The city is all but entirely isolated, only the Baltimore & Ohio being able to run trains east and west on the main line. Most of the large indus trial establishments are idle for four days or longer, throwing 20,000 men out of employment and causing a wage loss of $150,000 to $250,000. Pittsburg, March 23. —With both rivers receding, normal conditions, it is thought, will prevail within 48 hours. Much suffering is said to exist among the poor in the flooded section of Allegheny and the police were busy yesterday patrolling the district in skiffs, supplying the needy with coal, biead and provisions. One of the fea tures of the flood which will be se verely felt in Pittsburg before the week is out is the butter and egg famine which it is bringing about. PEACE PARTY ENCOURAGED A Majority of the Czar's Adivsers Eelieve that the War Should Cease. St. Petersburg, March 23.—The party within the government which is urging the emperor to indicate to Japan Russia's willingness to end the war if a reasonable basis can be reached, has been greatly encouraged the last few days and an actual pacific proposal may be just ahead. The sub ject has occupied much of the atten tion of the conferences at Tsarskoe- Selo. Gunshu Pass, March 23. —Tho Jap anese appear to have given Russia a temporary respite from pursuit, prob ably for the purpose of reforming their forces as they did after the pur suit of the Russians north from Liao Yang. The Russian front runs south east by northwest, with the Russian right much nearer the railroad than the left, while the Japanese position follows a line intersecting Kaiyuan. Many Lives Were Endangered. New York, March 23. —Many lives were endangered and damage to the extent of $50,000 was done by a fire in the nine-story Empire State build ing at Broadway and Bleecker streets yesterday. Scores of girls employed in the upper portion of the building were thrown into a panic when flames swept up from the seventh floor, where'the fire started, and it was only by the greatest good fortune that all escaped. Many were bruised in the crush which followed the rush down the stairways. The fire was confiined to the three upper stories. The Hayes Faction Wins. Washington, March 23. —The long standing controversy between the Burns and Hayes factions of the Knights of Labor was decided yester day by the court of appeals of the District of Columbia favorably to the latter. J. W. Hayes was elected gen eral secretary of the order several years ago, but his right to the office was disputed by Simon Burns, who in stituted a contest in the supreme court of the district. The decision there was favorable to Burns, but it was re versed by yesterday's verdict. Paid Fines for Peonage. Savannah, Ga., March 23. —In the United States court yesterday William P. Crawley, an attorney of Waycross, and Thomas J. McClellan, a former sheriff of Ware county, entered pleas of guilty to the charge of causing citi zens to be held in a condition of peonage.

"I'd like to Interest you in an insur ance scheme —" "Get out! I'm tired of talking to insurance men." "Ah! That's just it. Our scheme is to insure you against the Importunities of insurance men." "Don't you think the custom of throw ing rice at the newly married couple is idiotic?" asked the fluffy-haired maid. I "Sure," answered the savage old bach elor. "Mush would be a great deal more appropriate." "Is Mr. Rockefeller the richest man in the world?" asked young Mrs. Wealthywife. "He was until you be came mine," replied the husband, with a tender glance. And Mrs. Wealthywife was so pleased that she let him have S4O to put through his latest infallible scheme for whipsawing the stock mar ket. WOMEN AND MEN. If it wasn't for women the cynic would be out of a job. The men who believe there should be a tax on bachelors are all married. A wise wife conceals nothing from 1 her husband except her own faults. Tell a married woman she is a mar tyr, and she will be supremely happy. A faithful wife provides for the Inner man, and a model husband provides well for the outer woman. When a man has more money than he knows what to do with, it stands to rea son that he isn't married. THE SIMPLE LIFE. Ways That Are Pleasant and Paths That Are Peace. It is the simple life that gives length of days, serenity of mind and body and tranquility of soul. Simple hopes and ambitions, bound ed by the desire to do good to one's neighbors, simple pleasures, habits, food and drink. Men die long before their time be cause they try to crowd too much into their experiences—they climb too high and fall too hard. A wise woman writes of the good that a simple diet has done her. "I have been using Grape-Nuts for about six months. I began rather j sparingly, until I acquired such a lik ing for it that for the last three months I have depended upon it al most entirely for my diet, eating noth ing else whatever, but Grape-Nuts for breakfast and supper, and I believe 1 j could eat it for dinner with fruit and i be satisfied without other food, and feel much better and have more strength to do my housework. "When I began the use of Grape- Nuts I was thin and weak, my muscles were so soft that I was not able to do any work. I weighed only 108 pounds. Nothing that I ate did me any good. I was going down hill rapidly, was nervous and miserable, with no ambi tion for anything. My condition im proved rapidly after I began to eat Grape-Nuts food. It made me feel like a new woman; my muscles got solid, my figure rounded out. my weight in creased to 126 pounds in a few weeks, my nerves grew steady and my mind better and clearer. My friends tell me they haven't seen me look so well for years. "I consider Grape-Nuts the best food on the market, and shall never go hack to meats and white bread again."
