THE WEEKLY
PANORAMA
MINER AND SOCIAL LEADER.
Wealthy Connecticut Man Finds the
Strain Too Great.
: Henry K. McHarg, Jr., of Stamford,
Conn., who is exceedingly wealthy, has
returned home from Virginia, where
he has been working as a common 1a-
borer in the iron and coal mines in
which his father is largely interested.
He endeavored to combine the duties
of a society leader by night with those
of a workman by day, but found the
strain too great. His work in the
mines was of the hardest kind. He
was employed twelve hours a day,
seven days in the week, receiving at
wages $1.40 per day. At night, when
the other laborers and miners were
abed, McHarg would often lead a co-
tillon or take part in some other so-
icial event. He had entrance to the
most exclusive social circles and was
a general favorite. He was taken ill
with pneumonia and had a close call
for his life. He proposes to return
to the mines as soon as he regains his
health.
LONGSTREET IS ALMOST WELL.
Veteran of the Confederacy Recover-
ing from a Serious Illness.
[ Gen. James Longstreet, whose mar-
riage to Miss Ellen Dortch, the beau-
tiful young southern woman, is still
jwell remembered, has nearly recover-
ed from his long illness. Gen. Long-
street is now living in Washington.
His wife has not been able to resume
her" position in society during the
GET JAMES' LONVGSZREE 71
past season, owing to Gen. Long-
street’s ill health.
Gen. Longstreet is a familiar fig-
ure to the public. He graduated from
West Point in 1842, taking part in the
Mexican war, and obtaining the title
of brevet major for his valiant deeds.
In June, 1861, he resigned to join the
confederacy. He was promoted to
the rank of major general in 1862. He
was a favorite member of Leo’s staff,
and was at the head of several fierce-
ly fought battles in Virginia.
Booker Washington Not a Musician.
Pedro Tinsley, once a porter of a
Northwestern parlor car, has resign-
ed his position as vocal director of
music at Tuskegee institute and will
go back to railroad work. He gives
as a reason that Booker Washington
has “little conception of music,” and
he brings forward evidence:
“He
wanted me to make the boys and
girls there sing loud. I had a class of
400 voices and when they sang plan-
tation melodies it was something
fierce the way they would roll them
out. No, Mr. Washington knows
nothing about music.”
WELL-KNOWN WRITER DEAD.
“Nym Crinkle” Passes Away at His
Home at Monsey, N. Y.
Andrew C. Wheeler, better known
as “Nym Crinkle,” a well-known news-
paper writer, died last week at his
home at Monsey, N. Y. He had served
on the staff of various New York pa-
pers and was well known as a musical
and dramatic critic. In addition to
many articles in current magazines on
these topics he was also the author of
“The Chronicles of Milwaukee,” “The
Primrose Path of Dalliance,” "The
A C. WHEELER (“NYM CRINKLE")
Twins” (a comedy), and other smaller
feuilletons. He leaves a widow, two
sons and a daughter.
Many Hands Work on Doll.
The most peculiar feature of the
doll trade is that no one factory-
makes the entire doll. A toy turtle
with a clock in its chest, has to pass
through the hands of three men and
thirty-seven girls before it is ready
to be put on the market. Some doll
makers employ many hands inside the
factory and send the different parts
to the homes of the workers to be
completed there.
BEFORE THE
PUBLIC EYE
TYNER’S LONG PUBLIC CAREER.
Assistant Attorney General Has Held
Many High Offices.
James N. Tyner, who, it has been
rumored, is to resign from the as-
sistant attorney generalship of the
general, and in 1889 he was appointed
JAMES N. TY7VE2
Postoffice department, but who ridi-
cules the idea that he is going out be-
cause of the complaints against his de-
partment in the get-rich-quick case,
has had a long and distinguished pub-
lic career. A former resident of In-
diana, he was member of Congress
from that state from 1869 to 1875.
From 1875 to 1882 he was successively
second assistant and first assistant
postmaster general, and postmaster-
to the position he now holds. He went
out in 1893, however, but was reap-
pointed in 1897. He is 77 years old.
Honeymoon Thirty Years Old.
The honeymoon tour of Mr. and
Mrs. Fred A. Hull of Danbury, Conn.,
interrupted almost at its (beginning,
thirty years ago, was begun all over
again last week. They have become
grandparents since then. Mr. and
Mrs. Hull were married on March 11,
1873. They started to visit Wiscon-
sin and return through Kentucky.
The trip ended abruptly at Albany,
for a business telegram called Mr.
Hull home. They decided then to
postpone their tour until the first an-
niversary of their marriage, but
something happened then to prevent
and also on following anniversaries.
This year they sailed up the Hudson
to Albany. They will visit all the
places they intended to and will be
gone a month. Mr. Hull is wealthy.—

Roosevelt on all his journeys.
Leads Choir in Workhouse.
A small fortune has come to Bent-
ley Wormold, a well-known character
on the streets of Akron, O., who,
since running through an inheritance
of $40,000 twenty years ago, has lived
hit or miss, spending a great part of
the time in the Cleveland workhouse,
where long ago he won fame in that
institution as the leader of the choir
on Sundays. His present inheritance
comes by the death of an uncle at
Leeds, England. An aunt says she
will make application for the appoint-
ment of a guardian. Wormold was in
the city prison on the usual charge of
intoxication when the news came
that he was again a favorite of for-
tune.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Dollars for Ninety Cents Each.
As a novel method of advertising a
business house in Washington sold
1,000 new $1 treasury notes for ninety
cents each. The sale lasted just two
hours and all that time the line of
would-be purchasers of “good money
at reduced rates” was over a block
long. No person was allowed to buy
more than one bill at a time, but
there was no limit upon the number
of times each person might buy.

AS THE WORLD
REVOLVES
ENCIRCLING WORLD ON FOOT.
Hungarian Has Undertaken a Long
and Arduous Journey.
Andreas Chrometz, a Hungarian, 31
years old, has undertaken to encircle
the world afoot. Except when cross-
ing bodies of water that cannot be
circled he proposes to traverse his
entire journey without the aid of con-
veyances of any sort. He left his na-
tive town of Turo, Marton, Hungary,
Sept. 4, 1901, tramped across the con-
tinent into England, went over all of
the provinces of the king’s domain and
then cut for Canada. He visited the
principal cities there, then journeyed
over New York state to the metropo-
lis. He reached Philadelphia Feb. 6,
spent a few days there and then start-
ed for Pittsburg, where he now is. At
every town in which he stops Chro-
metz secures the postmark of the
place and a short descriptive note as
proof positive that he was there. He
sells pictures of himself and carries
voluminous clippings which tell of his
travels. He expects to reach Chicago
in the course of the coming month,
and hence will journey to San Fran-
cisco and take a steamer for Japan.
COAL OPERATORS GO FREE.
Judge Chetlain Decides That He Has
No Jurisdiction.
Acquittal of the Indiana coal oper-
ators was ordered by Judge Chetlain
at Chicago in an opinion which he
rendered on the motion of the defense
to take the case away from the jury.
The seventeen defendants against
whom a special grand jury returned
JUDGE CHETLAIN
indictments charging them with en-
tering into a conspiracy in restraint of
public trade in violation of the anti-
trust law of Illinois were held blame-
less by the court and the jury signed
a verdict of not guilty.
Judge Chetlain took the case away
from the jury on the general ground
that the acts of the defendants affect-
ed interstate commerce and therefore
were within the sole jurisdiction of
the federal courts. His decision that
he was without jurisdiction in the
matter was, he said, given with much
reluctance.
Indians Honor Miss Longfellow.
A delegation of Ojibway Indians
paid a visit to Miss Alice Longfellow,
daughter of the poet, at the Long-
fellow home in Cambridge, Mass.,
last week, and left as a remembrance
a belt of wampum. Miss Longfellow,
with her two sisters, Mrs. Dana and
Mrs. Thorp, entertained the visitors.
The gathering in the old-fashioned
library was a picturesque one. The
delegation was headed by Chief Wa-
bunosa. Miss Longfellow was invited
to visit the tribe at Garden River
reservation, Ontaria, next summer.
LAWYER’S FEE IS $2,000,000.
Richest Commission on Record Due to
Panama Canal Deal.
New York lawyers believe that by
the passage of the Panama canal trea-
ty by the United States senate Wil-
liam Nelson Cromwell of that city
will receive the largest fee ever paid
to a lawyer in this country, if not in
the world. The report finds general
credence in Wall street that $2,000,000
of the money to be paid by the govern-
W71. N. CPC/IWEZL

across the isthmus will go into Mr.
Cromwell’s pocket.
Englishmen to Visit Canada.
At the suggestion of Lord Strath-
cona and Lord Aberdeen a party of
members of both houses of parliament
is being organized to pay a visit to
Canada in the autumn recess. The ob-
ject is to study the resources of the
dominion, with a view to a more
thorough enlightenment of the people
of Great Britain.
By /rder o’ the Court,
Someone asked Edward Elgar, the
English composer, who he is so often
called “Sir Edward.” “That is a
joke on me,” answered Elgar. “It
dates back to the time when I was
an ignorant little country lad, and
went up to the school at Worcester.
When I came into the classroom the
teacher asked me: “What is your
name?’ ‘Edward Elgar,’ I replied.
‘Add the sir,’ reprimanded the teach-
er, sharply. ‘Sir Edward Elgar,’ I
corrected. Ever since that day all
my old school friends call me ‘sir.’”
Wind that Produces Suicide.
A curious belief prevails among the
natives of Brazil and other parts of
South America which prompts them to
fear a certain condition of the air,
which they call “suicide wind.” It is
not a superstition, but an actual con-
dition of the atmosphere, which seems
to drive people to madness, and dur-
ing its continuance self-inflicted deaths
are numerous. Criminologists and
scientists all over the world are inter-
ested in this peculiar atmospheric in-
fluence, which is indicated by a soft,
moist, warm air, that settles heavily
on the earth.
Didn’t Stack Up Very Big.
Dr. de Sarak, a few weeks ago, lec-
tured in Washington on “Occult
Science.” After his address he gave
a demonstration of his power when,
by concentrating his mind on it, he
smashed into smithereens a bottle full
of water. The incident caused com-
ment and was discussed by several
senators gathered in the cloak room.
“Imagine breaking a bottle by think-
ing of it,” said one of the statesmen
inamazement.
"Thtat’s nothing,” said Senator
Spooner, blandly, “I’ve known men to
think of a bottle and break a dollar.”

The Judge Wasn’t Superstitious.
“This is the third time you’ve been
arrested and brought before me for
drunkenness, isn’t it?” asked the irate
justice.
“Yes, jedge, it is, but it’s all on ac-
count o’ my superstitions, jedge."
“How so?”
“Well, whenever I see spirits I al-
ways try to down ’em.”
“So this is the third time you’ve
been arrested for being superstitious?
Well, I’ll bust another superstition by
giving you 30 days in jail, thus prov-
ing that there’s no ‘luck in odd num-
bers,’ ”

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new
things of everyday use in the market
and who is reasonably satisfied with
the old, we would suggest that a trial
of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once. Not alone because it
is guaranteed by the manufacturers
to be superior to any other brand,
but because each 10c package con-
tains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds
contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say
that the lady who once uses Defiance
Starch will use no other. Quality
and quantity must win.

RATHS BABY
Tired Mother’s Touching Story of
Anxiety and Suffering.
Cuticura Brings Blessed Cure t© Skin
Tortured Baby and Peace and Rest
to Its Worn Out Mother.
It is no wonder that Mrs. Helena Rath was taken sick.
Single-handed, she did all the housework and washed, cooked and
mended for her husband, Hans, and their six children. After a
plucky fight to keep on her feet, Mrs. Rath had to yield, and early
in 1902 she took to her bed. What followed she told to a visitor,
who called at her tidy home, No. 821 Tenth Ave., New York City.
“I hired a girl to mind the chil-
dren and to do whatever else she
could. I couldn’t stay in bed long.
Sick as I was, it was easier for me
to crawl around than to lie and
worry about my little ones. So
I got up after a few days, and let
the girl go. I had noticed that she
had sores on her face, hands and
arms, but I paid no attention to that
until Charlie, my youngest, began to
pick and scratch himself. He was
then ten months old, and the girl
had paid more attention to him than
to any of the others. Charlie was fret-
ful and cross, but as he was cutting
teeth, I didn’t think much of that.
Even when a rash broke out on his
face I wasn’t frightened, because
everybody knows that that is quite
common with teething babies. Sev-
eral of my others had it when little,
and I thought nothing about it.
“ But the rash on Charlie’s poor
little face spread to his neck, chest,
and back. I had never seen any-
thing quite like it before. The skin
rose in little lumps, and matter
came out. My baby’s skin was hot,
and how he did suffer ! He wouldn’t
eat, and night after night I walked
the floor with him, weak as I was.
Often I had to stop because I felt
faint and my back throbbed with
pain. But the worst pain of all was
to see my poor little boy burning
with those nasty sores.
“I believed he had caught some
disease from the girl, but some of
the neighbors said he had eczema,
and that is not catching, they told
me. Yes, I gave him medicine, and
put salves and things on him. I
don’t think they were all useless.
Once in a while the itching seemed
to let up a bit, but there was not
much change for the better until a
lady across the street asked me why
I didn’t try the Cuticura Remedies.
I told her I had no faith in those
things you read about in the papers.
She said she didn't want me to go
on faith nor even to spend any
money at first. She gave me some
Cuticura Ointment — I think the
box was about half full — and a
piece of Cuticura Soap. I followed
The agonizing, itching, and burning of the skin as in eczema ;
the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis ; the loss of hair, and crusting
of the scalp, as in scalled head ; the facial disfigurements, as in
pimples and ringworm ; the awful suffering of infants, and anxiety
of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tetter and salt rheum,—all
demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully
cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent
are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made
regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evidence.
The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety

Mrs. F. Wright, of Oelwein,
Iowa, is another one of the
million women who have been
restored to health by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable ConDeound.
A Young New York Ladjertells
of a Wonderful Cure:-
“ My trouble was with the ovaries ;
I am tall, and the doctor said I grew
too fast for my strength. I suffered
dreadfully from inflammation and
doctored continually, but got no help.
I suffered from terrible dragging sen-
sations with the most awful pains low
down in the side and pains in the back,
and the most agonizing headaches.
No one knows what I endured. Often
I was sick to the stomach, and every
little while I would be too sick to go
to work, for three or four days ; I work
in a large store, and I suppose stand-
ing on my feet all day made me worse.
“ At the suggestion of a friend of
my mother’s I began to take Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound, and it is simply wonderful.
I felt better after the first two or three
doses ; it seemed as though a weight
was taken off my shoulders; I con-
tinued its use until now I can truth-
fully say I am entirely cured. Young
girls who are always paying doctor’s
bills without getting any help as I did,
ought to take your medicine. It
costs so much less, and it is sure to
cure them. —Yours truly, ADELAIDE

the directions, bathing Charlie and
putting that nice Ointment on the
sores.
“I wouldn’t have believed that
my baby would have been cured by
a little thing like that. Not all of a
sudden, mind you. Little by little,
but so surely. Charlie and I both
got more peace by day, and more
sleep by night. The sores sort of
dried up and went away. I shall
never forget one blessed night when
I went to bed with Charlie beside
me, as soon as I got the supper
dishes out of the way and the older
children undressed; when I woke
up the sun was streaming in. For
the first time in six months I had
slept through the night without &
break.
" Yes, that fat little boy by the
window is Charlie, and his skin is
as white as a snow flake, thanks to
the Cuticura Remedies. I think
everybody should know about the
Soap and also the Ointment, and if
it is going to help other mothers
with sick babies, go ahead and pub-
lish what I have told you."
