At the afternoon session the by-laws were amended, providing that "Y” branch general secretaries be elected by bail of annually. Some friction was reported between state officers and organizers and lec mrers, growing out of an attempt to make the indorsement of the former necessary before the latter could ap peal for funds.

Washington, Nov. 20.—Statements have recently been made in a number of papers saying that a bounty was due to many Spanish-Aroerican war volun teers. Senator McLaurin has received a number of letters asking about the same. The following letter from the auditor of the Treasury Department, in reply to an inquiry, will .show up foundation for such a report: “A special dispatch was published in several of the leading daily papers on or about Sent. 29. 1901. in regard to an alleged discovery of some old laws by a Brooklyn lawyer, granting SB4 state and $192 federal bounties to soldiers for services In the recent Spanish-Ameri can war, stating that it would coet the ifctate about $2,000,000 and the federal government about $5,000,000. It was also alleged that some thousands of cases were before Attorney General Knox at Washington for his decision, and that the matter is expected to be settled In about ten days. "This dispatch is very vague, and so far as the United States is concerned, is incorrect and misleading. No such cases are before the Attorney General of the United States for his action or decision. "Furthermore, no law has ever been passed by Congress, granting any bounties whatever to any soldiers for service In the late Spanish-American war of 1898 and 1899. Certain laws were passed giving extra pay to such soldiers in certain cases, in lieu of a furlough or leave of absence. But in nearly all of such cases the soldiers who were entitled to such pay have been paid it. “It is only necessary to say in con clusion that there is no foundation whatever for any such statements as set forth in said dispatch, so far as the United States are concerned, and it is hoiked that those interested In this matter will not be induced to make useless inquiries or file worthless claims on account of such misrepresen tation.” _ TO USE UNFERMENTED WINK. Virginia Metlorti*t Minister* May Still tse Tobacco. Newport News, Va., Nov. 20.—The Mothodist conferenee of Virginia ap proved to-day two memorials asking that unfermented wine be used at com muninon. The conference refused to approve the memorial which designed that no minister using tobacco be ad mitted to the conference, and that a minister admitted and afterwards tak ing up the use of tobacco be treated as having violated his ordination vows. The board on publishing interests reported that the report of Barbee and Smith, general publishers, is inad equate to enable the conference to form an opinion. The board recom mended that no opinion be expressed by the conference. . The Publisher* Censured. The memorial calling for censure of Barbee and Smith, general conference publishers, and for returning to the United States government the money received from the "war claim,” was unanimously adopted at the afternoon session. Memorials were also ap proved providing against admission to the church of those divorced on any but Scriptural grounds; providing for the order of deaconnesses; providing for codification. MIRDERED HIS SWEETHEART. Fred Kri*t bet* the Dose He Deserv ed at Anbnrn. Auburn, N. Y., Nov. 20. —Fred Krist. the murderer, was put to death by electricity in the state prison here at 6137 a. m. to-day. He met his fate with fortitude. Krlst’s crime was the murder of his sweetheart, Katie Tobin, at Waverly. Tioga county, April 7 of last year. He had separated from his wife and had become addicted to drink. He was then 30 years old, his victim being ten years younger. The girl having re fused to receive his attentions, he lodged a complaint against her for theft and then lay in wait at a hotel to intercept her as 'she passed to the Justice's office. Fortified with several drinks, he rushed from the hotel as his victim and her sister appeared, and fired several shots at her from a re volver. She fell dead. THE ANTI-CHAMBERLAIN STORM.

Hanna and His Friends Will At tend io That—No Opposition to Henderson us Speaker of the House—Appropriation Bills to Be Rushed Through Early—Mueh Im portant Business to Come Before This Session. Washington, Nov. 20.—Politicians, who are assembling in Washington to attend the opening of the Fifty-sev enth Congress, but two weeks off, pre dict an exceedingly busy and interest ing session. With a large and healthy surplus in the treasury, there is a dis position on the part of incoming con gressmen to deal liberally with the public expenditures. Nearly all of the great interests, looking for congress ional aid. sometimes designated by the less popular term—the lobby—are in evidence and are prepared for a long and industrious campaign. They seem to take special comfort In the remark, playfully made by Senator Hanna a few days ago, speaking of the growing surplus in the treasury, when suggest ed that “he could help Secretary Gage to get rid of some of the surplus," there was a merry twinkle in his eye which suggested that his thought might hav.e been upon the ship-subsidy bill. Although the convening of anew Congress is but fourteen days away, there is a lack of political excitement, which usually attaches to the birth of anew Congress. There is no con test over the speakership, either by the majority or the minority. Gen. Hen derson of lowa is to have no opposi tion in the Republican caucus, not withstanding the rumor that he might be deposed, which was circulated dur ing the closing hours of the last Con gress because of certain acts on his part, which offended several leaders of his party. The long recess has brushed opposition aside, and he will have a walkover. So confident is he that he is already engaged in study ing over the list of committees, so that such changes as may be necessary may be announced in the early hours of the session, and thus expedite the work cut out for the new Congress. Under ordinary circumstances, anew Congress seldom gets its organization in good working order before the Christmas holidays. This year it is expected that several of the annual appropriation bills will be prepared, re ported, and acted upon In the House of Representatives before the holiday season arrives. Gen. Henderson. Rep resentatives Cannon, Dalzell, Payne, Hephurn, Hitt, and other recognized leaders on the Republican side of the House all agree that the coming ses sion will have many questions of do mestic and foreign Importance to con sider, and the question will not be so much as to what legislation shall be placed upon the statute books, but what legislation shall be prevented for the general welfare of the government. On the Democratic side, the minority will have no friction over naming the man for the empty honor of candidate for Speaker. Representative Richard son of Tennessee, will be the caucus nominee of his party which carries with it the distinction of being the rec ognized floor leader of the Democratic forces. In the Senate all speculation over the probable adoption of a cloture rule has subsided since President Roosevelt ceased to be presiding officer of that distinguished and self-controlled body. It is doubtful whether Mr. Roosevelt as Vice President, would have been able to tear down the time-honored tradi tions and the practice of unlimited de bate in the Senate, but it is understood that it was his intention to try and bring about a reform in that direction had he not been unexpectedly elevated to the presidency. The Senate being a continuing body, will resume business at the old stand, with Senator Frye of Maine president pro tempore, he having been elected prior to the adjournment of the last session. The Senate selects its own committees. In accordance with the suggestion made by the caucus com mittees of the two parties. At the coming session, there will be but two parties represented in that body. All the free silver Republicans and Popu lists, who remain, will go into caucus with the Democrats, and thus swell the small minority to that extent. It will teem strange to see well-known sena tors like Teller of Colorado, and Du bois of lowa, who have previously figured as active and aggressive Re publican partisans, located on the Democratic, side of the chamber and going into caucus with Democrats. Just where Senator Wellington of Maryland will land during the remain der of hie term, no one seems to know or care. The Republicans will not al low him to caucus with them, and the Democrats have no further use for him, hence he will have an opportunity to have a little caucus of his own as of ten and whenever he likes.

So Are the Fair People and So Is tile Gala Week Crowd. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 20. —While the State Fair is progressing satisfac torily as far as the gate receipts and exhibits are concerned, much bad feel ing has been generated by an alleged breach of faith on the part of the fair managers regarding tent attractions and side show features. The fact that the streets of Jacksonville have been practically given over to midway shows and exhibitions of various kinds has caused a howl on the part of the show men and fakirs who have paid round sums for the privilege of exhibiting In side, the fair grounds. They feel that they have been defrauded and are much incensed over the matter as their receipts have been materially affected thereby. Asa matter of fact the Fair man agers are not to blame, but the ap pearance of the street shows is said to be the outcome of a feud between the officials of the Gala Week Association and the Fair managers. It seems that the Gala Week Association has, by its charter, a right to one week s use of the streets for exhibition purposes, and are, by their charter, obliged to utilize their privilege in order to main tain the charter. The decision on the part of the Fair Association to hold the Fair here precluded the holding of a gala week also in the minds of some of the members of the Gala Week Com mittee. A disagreement on this prop osition resulted in the resignation of Fire Chief Haney, one of the active members some monjhs since. George L. Bahl, president of the Gala Week Association, was in favor of holding a. carnival, and while the State Fair people were aware that a few shows would be opened, it is claimed that the show business on down town streets has been largely in excess of an al leged agreement with the gaia week people. inis Mtt Bahl denl'-s, and claims that the Fair managers are at fault. * A daily newspaper interested in the Fair Association has made a savage attack on the street shows as immoral, and has succeeded in having at least one show closed by the police. The re sult has been a deal of bad blood over the matter. The State Society of Christian En deavor Associations will meet in con vention at the Fair grounds to-morrow at 10 a. m. STREET CAR COMPANY SUFFERS. Jacksonville Negroes Boycott Cars Because of Separation Ordinance. Jacksonville. Fla., Nov. 20.—C. B. Benedict, a member of the City Coun cil and one of the leading merchants In this city, has introduced an ordinance to repeal the ordinance recently passed to clothe the street car motormen and conductors with police powers to en able them to properly separate white and colored passengers when condi tions seem to require it. The ordinance met with strenuous opposition from the colored people, and a boycott has been successfully enforced against the street car company. The colored pop ulation on whom the company depend ed for a large share of its revenue, have ceased riding on the cars and there has just been incorporated a coach company with a capital stock of $2,000 for the purpose of equipping a line of coaches to Operate in this city, for the exclusive purpose of carrying colored passengers at a rate similar to that charged by the street car com pany. While there has been but compara tively little violence, the determination on the part of the negroes has had an effect not only on the car traffic, but on business as well. Some of the leading colored men claim that they would not seriously oppose an ordi nance which would demand separate cars, but to give conductors and mo tormen police powers and allow them to forcibly eject persons occupying a certain seat in a car to make room for another is sure to bring about ra cial disturbances, which can only eventually be disastrous to the negro. Everything is quiet here, but the situ ation is a serious one to the street railway company, and may result in trouble at some future time. Mr. Ben edict has taken a bold step in the In troduction of a repeal ordinance. HUNTERS AND JUMPERS. New Yorkers See Some Fiae Work Over llnrdles. New York, Nov. 20. —The hunters and Jumpers, Shetiands. trotting stal lions and roadsters divided the inter est and shared the honors at the horse show to-day. The morning crowd was larger than usual and the spectacular performance of the jumpers which were sent over six successive hurdles each five feet was probably the special at traction. There were 27 entries in that class and after them came a big band of horses suitable to become hunters. The Shetiands > followed them, with four classes shown, and after them were the trotting stallions. George P. Wetmore and John G. Ileckscher were the ring committee for the day and Cornelius Fellowes and A. Newbold Morris officiated to-night. t . EASY FOOD, Ready for Instant Use WHhnnt Cooking. Almost everyone likes a cereal food of some kind at breakfast and supper, but the ordinary way of cooking cereals results In a pasty mass that re quires strong digestive power to get along with, and If not properly digest ed, the raw mass goes down into the intestinal tract where gas is generated and all sorts of troubles set up. Everyone knows that good food prop erly digested keeps the body well, w'hile poor food, or even food of good quality that is poorly prepared and not digested, is sure to bring on some kind of disease. The easiest food to digest in this line is Grape-Nuts, made from wheat and barley, and cooked thoroughly at the factory, some ten or twelve hours be ing consumed in the different processes of preparation. The food, therefore. Is ready for instant service and the starch has been changed to Grape Sugar, so that It is pre-dlgested and ready for almost immediate assimilation. Miss R. E. Phillips, a young lady at 3*56 Vernon Ave., Chicago, writes that she suffered for years from Indigestion and dyspepsia from the use of food that was not suitable to her powers of digestion. Uhe says. “I began using Grape- Nuts, and I confess to having had a prejudice, at first, and was repeatedly urged before I finally decided to try the food, but I have not known whet indlgaatlvii is since using il, end hsva never been st l onger or In bet ter liesith I have increased in weight from lo 134 pounds ” People can be well pr#ctic||y with out tost If they will adopt scientific fi od and leave off the indigestible sort. lira |ie-Nuts Food is sold at sll first class groceries II is crisp and delicious lo lb* tasti It should b set v*d ei*ct- I) as it comes from the package, without < ooking, far op* 111 uses where It la mad* up mio pudding# and other at r*S I (A, THE BONINE JURY SECURED.

Jr., the young census clerk, was completed, and the court then adjourned until 10 o’clock to-mor row, when a presentation of the case on behalf of the government will be made by the district attorney. Mr. Douglass, representing Mrs. Bo nine, said after the court adjourned to-day that he would reserve his op*n ing until after all the witnesses for the prosecution had been heard. It Is ex pected, therefore, that the taking of testimony will begin during the fore noon session to-morrow. The entire time of the court to-day was given up to the completion of the jury, and it was after 2 o'clock before a single additional acceptable juror had been secured. AH told, thirty-nine talesmen were presented during tht day and out of this number only three were accepted, nine of those left In the jury box yesterday being retained. The proceedings consisted of a dreary round of questions intended to develop the mental attitude of the would-be jurors on the questions.of capital pun ishment. circumstantial evidence and prejudice for or against the defendant. As on yesterday a number of negroes -were ctll of t hem were fix* - cused, either for oause or upon the per emptory challenge of Mm. Bourne's lawyers. One of these created a ripple of laughter in the courtroom by stalling in repily to questions that notwith standing Washington was his place of residence he had been allowed to vote In Maryland in the presidential elec tion of last fall, IR-tng temporarily em ployed in that state. Mrs. Bonine joined quietly in the manifestations of amusement. When the juror Was permitted to take his seat her counsel challenged him and he was excused. During the day Judge Anderson di rected that the names of two of the men called for jury duty be taken permanently from the jury box because, he said, the men evidently were unfit for jury duty. One of these was a white man, who said that he had reached a conclusion as to the merits of the case, and the other a negro, who appeared very ignorant of all questions. Quite a number of the men called expressed themselves as opposed to capital punishment. Probably half a dozen stated that they were opposed to the execution of women. The de fense used only eleven arbitrary chal lenges, leaving nine of the number al lotted to them unused. The jury as finally agreed upon is composed as follows: John D. Robin son, coal agent: Walter J. Fry. coach man; W. P. Colley, hotel manager; W. L. Koontz. coal dealer; G. B. Bury, druggist; Cornelius J. Cartnody. gro cer: H. K. Armstrong, awning maker; Thomas F. Keane, carriage maker: George W. Thomas, carpenter; Andrew J. Beyer, truck farmer; Charles Hum phrey, plumber, and August Goetz, carpenter. THE COST NOT SO GREAT. Admiral Srlilry Modestly Drrlinrii Financial Assistance. Knoxville. Tenn.. Nov. 20.— Following the report that the court of inquiry would cost Admiral Schley $20,000, the Knoxville Sentinel, on Nov. 18, sent the admiral a dispatch asking if he would consent to public subscriptions to pay the amount. the Senti nel received a personal letter from Admiral Schley, the purport of which was that he cannot accept the offer. He says the report as to the cost is a mistake, as the amount is not so great. He suggests that the matter is “too delicate to discuss,” and trusts that his friends will “appreciate his position and respect it."

Nov. 20,—A notable as semblage of high Catholic prelates at tended the annual meeting o-f the board of trustees of the Catholic University to-day. A feature of the proceedings, which were secret, was the discussion of Dr. Henebrv, who was dismissed re cently from the Gaelic chair of the university, and iwhose ease attracted widespread attention. The board authorized the following statement relative to Henebry: “The most careful consideration was given to the recommendations of the university faculty and senate relative to Rev. Dr. Henebry's reappointment as associate professor in Gaelic. The beard of trustees unanimously declined to reappoint him. With equal unani mity it declared its Intention of hold ing sacred the trust committed to it by the Ancient Order of Hibernians and yields to no body of men In its conscientious Interest in all the pur poses of this endowment. No thought, of diverting the. earnings of the A. O. H. chair to any oth er teaching than that of Gaelic has ever been or ever can be enter tained. The Right Reverend Rector was Instructed to make every effort to secure, as **oon as possible, an instruc tor in. Gaelic, who shall be engaged until such a time as a regular profes sor may be fully equipped for the work, to whioh he will entirely devote his time.” The treasurer reported the trust funds of the University at $876,688, the permanent properties of the University aggregate $863,879, and the assets of the University as $131,874, making a total of $1,871,937. The total receipts during the year amounted to $160,511, and the disbursements were $157,569. TO ELECT BOER COLONEL. Hot Time* iu Galway and Prisons Are Overflowing. Dublin.

Front Leslie's Weekly. These figures represent the total transactions of the New York Clear ing House during the forty-eight years of Its existence, ending Sept. 30, 1901. It is difficult to grasp the real mean ing of such a sum of money—a million and a half millions—a thousand and a half billions; It Is more than three times the wealth of the whole world, and would pay the world's debts forty times over. This money, if in $1 bills and placed lengthwise, would extend 10.689,708.781.605 inches, or 56,287,941 miles, and would girdle the earth 2,278 time#, ot- reach to the ntoon and hack, even if it were 100 times farther awav than its real distance of 238,850 miles. Or, if made into a quilt, it would en tirely cover the state of New Jersey or the state of Massachusetts. In silver dollars, placed one above another, it would reach 950,000 miles, or four times as high as the moon. Placed side by side, they would reach 11.400,000 miles, or 460 times around the earth. In gold it would make 68,954.741,373 fine ounces at the present price of $20.67 per fine ounces, or 75,653,694,500 ounces avoirdupois, or 6,304,474,542 pounds, or 3,152,237 tons. It would measure one solid block of 3,928.021 cubic feet of gold. It is SB9O per capita for the present inhabitants of the earth. $18,510 per capita for the Inhabitants of the Unit ed States, or $407,229 per capita for the inhabitants of New York city, where the transactions took place. Nearly two-thirds of these clearances and balances have been within tho past twenty years, and nearly one third within the past ten years, th*> transactions for 1901 being fifteen times as large as forty-eight years ago The clearings of New York are about two-thirds those of the whole United States, and twice those of London, and yet these enormous transactions are conducted withoui the handling of more than 2 per cent. of actual money. By . means of checks and credits daily balances are struck and settled, and to the absolute correctness of a cent.
