PEOPLE OF THE DAY. " It has come to puss iu the last quar ter of the nineteenth ceutury that a man may achieve fame as the mouth piece of the lowly laborer in the United States. Such a man is John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America. The great strike of the coal miners in the anthracite regions of Pennsylvania has made the chief officer of the organization to which these miners belong one of the most widely discussed men of the day. Yet until only a short time ago he was a miner working by the day in the coal pit. John Mitchell was born in Braid wood, Ills., and is now in hia thirty-first year. lie had small chance for school- JOH.V MITCHELL, lng, as he went to work in the mines when he was 13 years of age. About six years ago he began to take a prom inent part in the local organization of the miners and In a short time was elevated to a place in the state organi zation, of which he soon became the chief officer. In 1897 Mitchell was elected vice president of the United Mine Workers national union, and when In 1898 President Ilatchford re signed to accept a place on the Na tional Industrial commission, appoint ed by President McKinley, he succeed ed to the presidency of the organiza tion. At the convention of 1890 he was elected to the presidency for the full term. Carlrton'i Anchor to Windward. Henry Guy Carleton is not only a playwright, but also the president of an electric company that does business in a large Broadway office building. The company is devoted to the manu facture of certain of Mr. Carleton's own Inventions which are designed to serve a multitude of useful purposes. Mr. Carleton is not yet so well known as an electrician as he is as a writer for the stage, although he is work ing seriously in this field, and has had the reputation of possessing a tal ent for invention greater than hia plays have always shown. Mr. Carle ton divides his time between his liter ary work and his electric company and finds one an admirable relief to fatigue caused by the other. Playwrights with another occupation are regarded as for tunate, because the proportion of plays that will succeed can never be deter mined. A succesaion of failures leaves an author without income, and he will find it more difficult to get rid of his products. So an alternative occupa tion is looked upon in the profession as an excellent anchor to windward. The Governor of Stricken Texaa. Honors are almost always accom panied by responsibilities, and sorrows, impersonal in their character, some times follow these. It is an honor to hold the responsible position of gov ernor of the great state of Texas, but the incumbent, Hon. Joseph D. Sayers, Is a sorrowing man. A great calamity has visited his beloved state. One of her handsomest and most prosperous cities lies stricken, a maimed and crip pled plaything of the unmindful wind. HOX. JOSEPH D. BAYERS. Thousands of Texans have fallen to rise no more in the sunny clime of the Lone Star State, wives are widowed, husbands have lost their best loved, little children have been orphaned and the great heart of Texas Is sad and sore. But a nation has extended Its sympathy to a stricken daughter of the family of states, and all that man can do to assuage grief and repair damage is being done. And it is through her governor that Texas Is today receiving the evidences of the whole country's sympathy and eagerness to help. The present position of Governor Sayers la indeed oue that calls for the display of the better qualities of man. An Illustration of the new lights which science throws upon old ques dou3 Is the mcdarn explanation of an -'Xperiment made nearly three cent ti des ego by the Flemish physician Van -lelmcnt. In a pot of earth weighing JOO pounds he planted a willow branch veighir." five pounds. He kept the dant well watered, and In five years he willow had gained 10-1 pounds in 'eight, while the earth in the pot had ost only two ounces. Van Ilelmont aferred ihnt the plant's gain was due nly to the water which had been sup lied. Modern botanical science proves hat the pr:i:n v.-;!u In a great measure ue u> thu CuiLou absorbed from the lr. _ ____ Poultry In the Sonth. A large poultry farm Is being devel ped near Hamilton, Va., reports The outhern Field. Throughout nearly all I'tlona of the south poultry Is receiv m more attention than heretofore, his Is particularly true of the nearby lUtliern sections, which are sending oultry in carload lots to this and other larkets in larger quantities than ever efore. The quality of the poultry is iuch Improved over what it was in reviouH years and shows that the andard Is steadily being raised in all le leading producing sections N- < 'W Everybody's proud of this sort of j Grandpa, and he's proud of himself; proud of his clear brain and active Ixxly. There are other kinds of grandparents that we can't lie proud of. Weak of body and feeble of mind, we can only pitv them. They no more live; they onlv exist. What makes the difference between these two classes of old men? A sound stomach and a plentiful sup plv of pure, rich blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery strength ens the stomach, purifies the blood, and increases the activity of the blood making glands. It won't make old men young, but it will enable old men to assimilate the food they eat, and so strengthen them for a life of rea sonable exertion. " I suffered for six year* with constipation and indigestion, during which time I employed several physicians, but they could not reach my case," writes Mr. G. Popplewell. of Eureka Springs, Carroll Co., Ark. "I felt that there was no help for me: could not retain food on my stomach; had vertigo and would fall helpless to the floor. Two vears ago I commenced taking I)r Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery aud little ' Pellets,' and improved from the start. After taking twelve bottles of the - Discovery' I was able to do light work, and have been improving ever since. I am now in good health for one of my age—6o years. I owe it all to Dr. Pierce's medicines." Old people often need a laxative medicine. The liest for them is Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. A Scheme Thnt Failed. With a market basket filled with pieces of bank and treasury notes an old woman, who said she lived in Cam den, appeared at the subtreasury and stated that she wanted the bits of mon ey redeemed, says the Philadelphia Record. It required only a hasty ex amination for the officials to determine that the pieces of notes were all from the edges and corners of bills of va rious denominations. The woman was asked how she be came possessed of the pieces, which information she failed to give. Then she was bluntly told that the govern ment would allow her nothing for the remnants of money, because it was plainly evident that the pieces were all clipped from whole notes. This the woman denied, yet she was obliged to go away without receiving passable cash for her offering. The officials found that, though there were corners and edges from S2O. $lO. $5. $2 and $1 notes, there was not a piece of a center in the entire collec tion. so that it would be impossible to make even one bill by pasting pieces together. There were enough bits, however, to equal a hundred notes in size. Judging from the paper and style of notes, it had required about 20 years to collect the pieces. The Key to AYntiliinctuii Society. The words army and navy are an open sesame to the best elements of social life everywhere in our country, and among the leaders of Washington society are found many whose hus bands are in one or the other. Wash ington is the natural rallying point of the army, and even after the active professional life is ended they find there the pleasantest resting place. Mrs. Grant. Mrs. Sheridan and Mrs. Logan have chosen their homes there and hold sway over a large circle of friends. The widows of other promi nent officers drift to Washington from time to time, and in the inner circle of Washington's pleasantest social life Admiral Dewey has found in General Ilazen's widow a gracious woman to hold sway over himself and his home. At the last New Year's reception Mrs. Custer, known for her own charming personality as well as because of her gallant husband's fame, stood beside Mrs. Miles and received with her dur ing the afternoon.—Mary Breckinridge Hines in Woman's Home Companion. A Vacant Garter, According to the London Chronicle, there is now a Garter vacant, and if a plebiscite decided on whom it should be bestowed there is not a doubt but that Iv. G. would be placed after the name of the field marshal commanding In South Africa, who most certainly merits the distinction quite as much as Lord Elgin, on whom it was so proper ly conferred by Lord Salisbury. In the last two centuries the Garter has only been thrice given for military services —to Marlborough. Wellington and Lord Anglesey—and.strange to say, no naval commander appears to have Lhvl 't uot even Nelson. ProKremifve Spain. In his book, "Temperate Chile: a Pro gressive Spain," Mr. Anderson Smith of the Scottish fishery board shows the almost pathetic struggle of high cul ture with barbarism in southern Chile. Luxurious Pullman cars land the pas sengers in the midst of literally path less forests, through which a track must be cut before a horse can pass. Yet wires fixed to the trees allow of telegraphic and telephonic communi cation with hamlets which lie weeks apart for the traveler. As to the colo nists who are struggling to clear the forests and form homes in tLat land of perpetual cloud Mr. Smith gJves the first place for thrift, cheerfulness and j Ingenuity to the French. The Germans j have established themselves firmly as i the commercial and manufacturing people of southern Chile. In the Brit ish settlers he recognizes room for Im provement rather than matter ror Dralne.

[Copyright, 11*00, by C. P. Lewis. 1 The Possum party, with its founda tions resting on Paradise hall, seemed as firmly anchored as the rock of Gibraltar when the Saturday night meeting opened and a multitude of Mark faces were turned toward the platform to catch the lirst glimpse of Judge Johnson Cabiff of Georgia, who had been advertised to de liver "a hurricane address." There were individuals among the audience who | knew that North America was to be ' wrenched and twisted arid tied up in knots within the next hour, but they stared ahead and made no sign. A con-1 spiracy had been entered into to wreck a republic, twist the neck of a nation and I bury honor and patriotism under a mound | of infamy, but the great majority saw no j signal of danger. As the bells were tolling the hour of 8 j Brother Gardner stepped forward and j introduced the judge to the audience. He referred to him as n patriot, a scholar and a philosopher and expressed the live liest satisfaction that such a man had come forward to cast his lot with the > Possumites. The judge is said to be the OHATORY BY JUi GK CABIFF. tallest and slimmest colored man in the world. His height is seven feet, and his weight is only 1(0 pounds, and the shadow he casts at high noon would hardly cov er a wooden toothpick. He was given a redhot greeting, but he had scarcely be gun to speak when it seemed as if his hearers became suspicious of him. He touched lightly upon the creation of the world, the discovery of America and the landing of the pilgrim fathers in order to feel of the audience, aud then he started off with: "My pore an innercent hearted fren's, I am heah to tell yo' dat while yo' sit heah eatin watermill.von an chawing har vest apples an peanuts an enemy am creepin up to stab yo' in do back. [A few faint cheers for the enemy.] A cloud of danger hangs ober yo'. Yo' am stand in on de aige of a yawnin chasm. While yo' sit heah in contentment fate am dig gin yo'r graves. [Shudders aud shivers.] I got heah three days late, an it may be impossible to save yo', but I am gwine to do my best. If I can't save yo', I'll die wid yo'. [Cries of "What's the mat ter?"] While yo' hev bin gwine along in peace an contentment de enemy has bin hard at work. Fearful of de triumph of dis Possum party, de Republicans an Democrats hev formed a combinashun nn entered into a conspiracy to defeat it at any cost. Meetin's hev bin held, plans hev bin laid, an yo' am almost in de trap. Let dar be silence in de hall while I tell yo' dat de plan am to round up ebery black man. woman an chile in dis ken try an send 'cm ober to Africa. Old an young must go. Not one am to be left behind. De clubs to knock us on de head, de ropes to tie us an de ships to take us hev already bin prepared. [Groans and shivers.] At one fell sweep, an wid satanic malignity, we am to be swept off de face of de American conti nent an dumped upon de shores of Afri ca to perish of sorter an starvashun." At this juncture the audience arose In the greatest excitement. Some cheered, others hissed, and there was a mingling of groans, catcalls and demands for further information. Brother Gardner sent word to the orator to come off the perch, but the request was unheeded. When his voice coidd be heard again, the judge contin ued : "Am darn wny to pnenpo from dis Itn pendin calamity? Yes, dar am, but it must be tooken adwantage of widin de next ten minutes or yo' am lost fo'eber. Dis Possum party must nominate a pres idential candidate. [Cheers for Brother Gardner. 1 He must be a man who kin bluff de Republicans an skeer de Demo crats. [ More cheers.] lie must face dese conspirators wid a sword in one hand an de constitution in de odder an put dem to flight. Hev yo' such a man? ["Yes, yes! Hooray fo' Brother Gard ner!"] Yes, yo' hev sich a man. I am de oue. I nominate myself as yo' candidate. Wid mc at de head of dis party"— The hall was in an uproar, and for three or four minutes it looked as if the old building would be wrecked. Way- ! down Bebee and Samuel Shin closed in on the speaker and hauled him off the , platform aud chucked him down the alley stairs, and his place was taken by the Hon. Catalepsy Green. Two weeks ago I this gentleman made a ringing speech 1 In favor of a higher tariff on coonsklns jtnd offered to yield up his life for the benefit' of the Possumites. The uproar ceased as he came forward and began: "My fren's, I neber thought to lib to ! witness sich a spectacle as has bin pre- j sented to us dis eavenin, but no political party am safe from demagogues an aspi rants. I don't believe in no sich conspir- j aey as we hev heard of, ["No, no!"] j lie hull world would riz up ag'in it.l hev a duty to perform, howeher. I must ; tell yo' dat I hab every reason to believe dat boaf de white men's parties hev com- j biued ag'in us an dat onless we goober | to one or t'other dar am a plan to inter- j duce de germs of cholem among us an : weed us off de face of fie airth. [Groans I and hisses and shouto of indignation.] j While concealed in a hogpen at midnight 1 in de state of Ohio I oberheard 'nuff to tntW-f me dat dis will be done, an I ilarfo' offer myself as a representative of •le Possum party to turn it ober to ae Re publicans." With a yell and a whoop every man in the audience started to his feet, and within the next five seconds Catalepsy j Green was hit by 450 separate and dis- | tinet pieces of watermelon riuds. As he j retreated to the rear of the stage he was j seized and booted down the alley stairs, j and his place was taken by Colonel j Cadaver White. The colonel has been I acting as chairman of the committee on lemonade and kerosene, aud his rating j ms a pure and unselfish patriot hns been ] Al. He was enthusiastically greeted, ! and with a benign smile he started off \ with: "1 do not believe dar am a conspiracy to send us all off to Afriky, nor do I be- i lieve dat we am to be swept into yawnin j graves by de cholera. ["lt's all a lie!"J I do not believe dat we am called upon j to nominate Jedge Cabiff ax our candi date, an no power kin make "i" consent ! to be turned ober to de Republican party through de hands of Catalepsy Green, [Enthusiastic applause.] I do nut be lieve deir stories, but I tell yo' what I do believe nn what yo' must take steps ; at once to guard ag'in. While I was in j jail in New Jersey two weeks ago I ober- , heard two men talkin. I got it straight as a string dat if we didn't hitch up wid de Democratic party de hull watermill-1 yon '.•••oy jvould be pizened wid arseuic ! an ae cull'd popuiasbun killed off like 1 rats. [Tremendous sensation. J Dar ; fo, wid no selfish eaud in view au wid ' only yo'r best interests at heart, I move I dat dis Possum party goober to de Deui . ocrats body an boots." i Something more than pandemonium i broke loose as the speaker finished. This was the third attempt at betrayal, and, j being unable to get at the betrayers, the i crowd turned on each other. The band i played, and Brother Gardner came for -1 ward, but it was not until a squad of 20 I policemen forced their way up stairs and used their clubs without stint or I distinction that peace finally reigned. It was then found that almost every bench and chair in the hall had been smashed and that 30 or inorw sons of liberty were candidates for the hospital. The Pos sum party hnd not been sold out or as sassinated, but its honor had been smirched, its patriotism doubted and its spinal column knocked out of plumb. Brother Gardner and Giveadain Jones carried off what was l«ft of it and will doubtless restore it to life, but it was the opinion of such wheel horses as Come along White, Sundown Green and Itise up Saunders that a staggering blow has been dealt. M. QUAD. TYPES. Climate, food and environment pro duce types. The Holstein cow is just as much a natural product of the rank pastures and mild climate of the lands reclaimed by the Dutch from the North sea as is the little Kerry cow of the heather clad hills of Ireland. The American cay use is nature's best effort to produce a horse upon the desert lands of the west, while no one would conceive of a Percheron very far re moved from a big bin of oats and abun dant roughage. The Jersey cow when re moved from her native isle and instead of being picketed out given the range of a large and well grassed posture al ways increases in size. An Arkansas rooter brought north and given hofe conditions common to the corn belt confinement and unlimited clover and corn—would, in spite of his degraded and aboriginal ancestry, in the course of just a few generations assimilate to the shape and type of the Poland-Chi na of the corn belt. A parrot brought from Africa will almost always lcarr. to swear In the English language. A northern man locating south, no mat ter if he was up and a-coming in the north, will inside of five years lean up against a tree, snooze peacefully while the weeds are growing in his corn and let things flicker with as ihuch indif ference as his neighbor, tlie typical poor white of the south. One parrot years ago In New Zealand some way found out that the kidney fat of a sheep was a choice morsel, and as sheep in- .• creased in number in that country ■ there developed a type of sheep kill -1 ing parrots, which, alighting on the bark of the sheep, would tear the skin • open and eat the fat around the kid , neys. The dog allowed to run wild . very soon adjusts himself to his wild > environment and becomes gregarious, I like his prototype, the wolf, and, more curiously still, will In a very few gen erations take on the fawnlike color " which distinguishes nearly all preda ( tory and carnivorous wild beasts. The | buffalo, if it could be domesticated, I would in a short time become greatly • modified in form. Its coat would grow ( less thick, its enormous fore quarters • would be reduced in size and its hind quarters enlarged. The need to be constantly fighting and on the run be ing removed, the power to fight and . run would be diminished. A black • 1 walnut tree which grows tall and i straight on the rich alluvial soil of a river bottom becomes little more than a scrub tree when planted on the top of some sterile knoll. All this teaches us the lesson that certain types do best under certain conditions, and it is for the wise farmer to find out what types are best suited to his soil and conditions.

Some curious expedients are neces j sary at times in the medical applica tions of electricity. It is not uncom mon now for the electric cabs in New York to be pressed into service as per ambulating sources of electric power by physicians who are called upon sud denly to make X ray examinations of patients who are in localities where electricity from street circuits is not on tap. Recently on a steamboat ply ing from New York to a neighboring , town a passenger undertook to commit | suicide by swallowing laudanum, j Among those on the vessel a physician was discovered, but naturally lie did | not have with him the apparatus for shocking the patient into sensibility. It was for awhile an even chance whether or not the suicide would be successful. Finally the electric light man on the boat bethought himself of his testing magneto, which Is the same j in construction as the calling part of [ the ordinary telephone—a box with ; two little gongs in front and a crank J to turn. This machine can give n live- J ly shock; so, armed with a few feet of | wile and* u husky deckhand to turn ' the crank, the electric light man ap i peared on the scene and offered the service of his apparatus.
