Pursuit of Tracy Has Cost Eight
Counties SIO.OOO.
TACOMA. July 19. After just 40 days
of continual pursuit by men and blood
hounds, all organized effort to capture
Tracy, the escaped Oregon convict, has
ended- Tracy may now be -considered as
any other fugitive from Justice with a
price on his head. Unless he desires to
appear and declare himself, no further
posses will start after him. To. pursue
Tracy through Clark, Cowlitz," Lewis,
Thurston, Plerco, Kitsap, Snohomish and
King Counties has cost these counties
510.000.
In this state he has slain three officers,
desperately wounded one, who may not
recover, and assassinated his palvand part
ner, Merrill. The fact that Oregon de
clines to pay Mrs. Waggoner, of Cnehalls,
the reward for Merrill's body has dona
much toward the flat drop of the Tracy
hunt.
Tracy's "Whereabouts a Mystery.
SEATTLE. July 19. The actual where-
abouts of Harry Tracy, the daring out
law. Is still a mystery. The majority of
the deputies believe he Is In the vicinity of
Sawyer Lake, while others express the
opinion that the escaped convict Is many
miles from the cabin which Cudihce sur
rounded. Deputy Sheriff Johnston, of
Pierce County, has left TGcoma on a lone
search of the Natchez trail, up which the
man resembling Miller, the Oregon- ex
convict, has been packing provisions.

Three People Arrested In San Fran
cisco Charged "With the Larceny.
SAX FRANCISCO. July 19. Acting un
der instructions from the Chief of Police
of Portland, Or., Chief Wittman effected
the arrest late last night of Bill Noble
and a woman giving the name of Clarice
Fay. They were passengers on the steam
er Columbia, and were arrested before
the veseel reached her dock. Fred Day,
to whom Noble passed ?G0, was also ar
rested. (Noble and the woman Clarice Fay are
supposed to belong to the gang of four
people who conspired to rob an Italian
restaurant-keeper "of 5350 In gold in' this
city last Wednesday. The Italian has his
place of business on Third street, near
Davis, and three persons, a man and two
women, called and ordered ice cream. The
man in the trio suddenly ordered an
oyster cocktail, and shortly afterward the
trio paid for what fhey had' eaten and
went away. It Is expected that theirTuse
was to keep the attention of the restau
rant proprietor directed toward the front
portion of his store while the -robber
worked in the rear. The marauder forced
open a rear window, carried out a trunk
containing the J550, stole the money and
disappeared. The victim, did not know
that he had been robbed until several
hours afterward when he had occasion to
' go to his rear room. It was thought that
the thieves fled to San Francisco.)
WORK FOR TEMPERANCE.
Whnt W. C. T. U. Has Done la Sun
day Schools.
PORTLAND, July 19. (To the Editor.)
The experience of every day intensifies the
conviction that the children are the hope
of the temperance reform, and that the
Sunday school is one of the direct avenues
through which they may be reached.
Frances Willard In a memorial address
made at Pittsburg before the International
Sunday School Convention (ISM) said:
"The church stands for prohibitory law,
but we shall never fully realize our hope
until the oncoming generation Individually
enacts a prohibitory law. This must be
done In the legislation of each brain, de
clared constitutional in the supreme court
of each Judgment, and enforced by the
energy of each will."
Believing that this should be the out
come of the work of the Sunday schools
of all lands the Sunday school depart
ment of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union has worked untiringly In aid
ing the "bringing it to pass" since 1874.
The quarterly temperance lesson system
Is the outgrowth of the work of this de
partment, and the recent action at Den
ver at the International Convention is
especially gratifying to the White Rlb
boners everywhere, most of whom are, or
have been, earnest Sunday school work
ers. It would seem a racst fitting time to re
view a bit of the history of the work.
One would think that as all Bible lessons
should have temperance Inculcated in
them, it would not be any task what
ever to get regular systematic work done
along this line, but history tells us It took
many years of patient, prayerful, persis
tent effort.
In 1874, when the first plan of work was
submitted to the meeting at Cleveland,
the third recommendation "was concern
ing "teaching the children In Sunday
school "
Miss Lucia Kimball, of Maine, a most
enthusiastic worker amonir children, was
the first superintendent of Sunday school
work. In 1SS1 the first memorial was
presented to the international Sunday
school lesson committee, at the first an
nual meeting in Saratoga, The petition
was not granted, yet the thought of spe
cific teaching of temperance as outlined
to the convention, met with favor with
many denominations and several incor
porated such lessons into their denomina
tional series the following year. In 1SS4
Miss Kimball took the memorial In person
to the International Convention at Louis
ville; the memorials came- from 13 states.
The Tesult was that a temperance l'cs
Bon was decided upon, optional with the
review lesson. Of course, this proved
very unsatisfactory. In. 1890. at the Sixth
International Convein, held at Pitts
burg. Frances Willard presented the me
morial in her irres'stlble, persuasive way
and secured the inauguration of these
regular quarterly temperance lessons,
which have continued now' for 12 years.
The conventions of 1893. 1898 and 1899. re
newed the Instructions to the lesson com
mittee to continue these lessons.
At the seventh convention at St Louis
(1833), there was an attempt made to se
cure the repeal of the instructions to con
tinue these lessons, but it failed. Again
In 1899, at Atlanta, the lesson system re
ceived a stab in the back. In 1893. Miss
'Kimball resigned. Mrs. Stella. B. Irvine,
of St Paul, has oeen the leader of the
work ftlncc. and has proved herself a mort
efficient one. That there was a secret
movement on foot to abolish these quar
terly lenfons at the penver Convention
"Joshed put" At once Mrs. Irvine sent
out her rally-cry for helpers to roll up
petition to secure the signature of every
Sundty school officer and teacher, and all
Interest; A. to the end that Frances Wll
lard's nyignlficent work at Pittsburg (1RK)
chould not bo undone. The movement to
"undc" seemed "on the quiet," the at
tack was not In open field, but by firing
subtle shots from masked batteries. Mrs.
Irvine, in her own energetic, practical
manner, planned a systematic, prayerful
campaign In defense of these quarterly
lessons. And all during the past year her
petitions and appeals have been circu
lated through church papers, as well as
our own, and Sunday school workers
everywhere responded grandly to the ap4
peaL Mrs. Irvine went to Denver armed with
a, memorial, as a result of all this work,
which she presented to the executivef com
mittee. This memorial was a very strong
-document and accompanying it were the
signatures of 107,025 Sunday school work
ers. Letters containing copies of this me
morial were sent to influential members
of the convention, end the facts embodied
in the memorial were given in a letter to
ach delegate.
The Dally Evansel supplemented all J
these efforts with editorials, and published
a special article of Mrs. Irvine's, calcu
lated to answer some of the objections of
fered, and overcome the plan said to have
been suggested of having the lesson again
optional. Much more preliminary work of
this character was done, and Mrs. Irvine
writes "and God gave the victory."
The department under Mrs. Irvine's
leadership has had a vigorous growth.
Among other things she has a national
pledge chain, cards of red, white and hlue,
with the triple pledge against liquor
opium and -tobacco. This chain has
reacned some 300,000 children, whose names
are upon them. This chain forms a part
of the decoration at all National Conven
tions. A display of this chain was made
at a grand Sunday school rally, under
Mrs. Irvine's management, at the Denver
Convention.
The motto of the national department
13: "All thy children shall be taught of
the Lord, and great shall be the peace of
thy children."
In answer to the question, Why specific
teaching of temperance in our Sunday
schools? Mrs. Irvine says: "Because me
sacred preservation of the body Is Im
perative (Rom. xll:l) and because the
prosperity and perpetuity of the nation
depends on the Church of God." The
child is the embryo citizen; Christian cit
izenship is a necessity for the preserva
tion of the republic "Nations that will
not scve God must perish."
It has been truly said, "That having
failed to keep the morals of the people
pure at the fountain head, they cannot be
filtered at the polls."
Who are "the people?" What Is a na
tion? First the embryo, then the prat
Hng babe, then the child, then the youth,
then man and woman, next the family,
then the tribe, then a nation, and lastly a
constellation of nations the human race;
a lesson in evolution, you see.
Evolutions are not made, but grow; the
reform movement is an evolution, and
today is a necessary evolution to prevent
a future revplutlon.
"Revolution is delayed .evolution."
The Kingdom of God Js an evolution, as
is plainly taught in the parable of the
sower. The seed of truth, relative to. right,
duty and responsibility of the citizen sown
in the soil of a child's mind, will expand
and finally bear fruit at the "seat of em
pire" the ballot box, provided tho teach
er Is faithful In the sowing.
"A sower went- forth to sow," "While
the men slept, the enemy, came and sowed
tares." To . a prayerful Sunday school
teacher these- lines, are almost tragic.
The words, thoughts. Influences of the
teacher are fraught with tremendous Im
port Did you ever stand by the seashore
and throw a pebble In the water, and
watch the ever receding -xlpples 7 Science
whispers that those Tipples- will not cease
till they reach another shore. 'Personal
Influence Is like the receding ripples of
the sea, life touching life, character -upon
character. Weeds grow rapidly, faster tnan
grain. Let us pin down one thought, "nev
er to forget It; that is, .God works through
human instrumentalities. The human and
dlvln.e correlated forces. In th.e. Sunday
school room we have- the Bible, "the child,
tho teacher, whal'fiVhmfur as the union
of "these forces for Securing a conscience
so pure, so sensitive, a faith so strong"
that it will not tolerate the legalized drink
habit, be it ever so moderate.
All reform comes from within. Yet ex
ternal methods are but the outward ex
pression of an Inward creed. No one for
a moment doubts that the true basis of
success for this gfeat reform Is tho con
science of the peqple. And that this must
be determined by the Church of God,
what is wrong in this respect now, must
be met by the training of those who will
constitute the church of tomorrow. We
send out lifeboats when ships are wrecked,
but how much more Christlike Is It to
throw out the beacon light from theMiead
lands that ships need not be wrecked. The
battle today Is not waged In darkness;
the thus saith God. and thus salth science
has clasped hands, and notwithstanding
the storm that has been raging around the
scientific aspect of this reform, great stu
dents, great scientific lights are standing
for that which is true, and no power can
shake the strong foundation of the tem
perance reform of the present hour.

American Havrthorns.
Boston Transcript
The explorations of botanists have de
veloped, during the past few years, cer
tain facts concerning the American haw
thorns which constitute one of the sur
prises in the field of botany. To the
merely lay mind the mention of the haw
thorn commonly suggests only an attract
ive ornamentil tree of English, or at
least of European origin; the Idea that
there are species indigenous to our own
soil proving g6nerally an interesting but
quite novel bit of information. And It
may be added that although students of
the North American sylva have always
been well aware of a number of fine na
tive species, they, too, it seems, until
very recent years, had but a faint com
prehension of the somewhat astonishing
facts.
So far as is now known, the principal
home of the hawthorn is North America
England has but a single species, Cra
taegus oxyacintha, which with A few
others of Continental Europe have, in the
hands of gardeners and hybridizers, been
so greatly differentiated that their var
ious origins have become a perplexed
question. Japan, too, for a wonder, has
only one species, and but two or three
are yet known as indigenous to Chlni,
though this "great field may yield others
to more exact research. American for
ests, however, abound in them. They are
distributed from Newfoundland to the
Pacific, and southward "to Texas.
The Piano Typewriter.-
Chicago American.
After six years of continuous, patient
and industrious labor, Paul J. Clcnanth,
of Buffalo, has Invented what he calls the
piano typewriter, and It is said to be one
of the inventions of the age. The model
of the new invention has been sent to the
Patent Department at Washington, and
is being patented.
The piano typewriter is an Invention
which will prove decidedly -userul to any
person who plays the piano, "and especially
to composers or bandmasters. After it is
attached to tho piano its workings are
simple. A child can use it as well as a
grown-up person. If a composer has a
desire to write a new piece of music, all
that is necessary for him to do Is td at
tach tlie new Invention to his or her piano
and play what he thinks will, make good
music When he finishes the notes that
he has played will be printed on a sheet,!
oi paper, aim win bo reaay tor publica
tion. If he hold the note for a quarter or
a "half, the machine will print a quarter
note; if a half-note is wanted, he will hold
the cord for two beats and a half-note
will be printed.
The widest possible publicity should be
given to the fact that Summer -diarrhoea in
children and cholera Infantum can always
be cured by the Judicious use of Cham

LUXURY IN REPORTING.
Yonna- Millionaire on His Bent With
Carriage and Footman.
Within the last month a new star has
flashed across the Journalistic sky of Bal
timore. Jts going was as sudden as Its
coming, says the Baltimore Sun.
Few. outside of the "smart set" knew of
Its approach, and those who watched its
course are still wondering about It
Baltimore reporters, as a general thing,
da not move from place to place, In the
pursuit of news stories, behind a team of
magnificent bays with a footman on the
seat alongside. Of course there is no
reason why the reporters should not avail
themselves 6f this style of transportation,
but It has never been popular with them.
It may become more in vogue now that
the utility of horses, T carts and foot
men has been demonstrated by Mr. Frank
Brown, Jr., son of former Governor
Brown.
Mr. Brown's professional carebr began
and ended within the limits of two weeks,
but he gained much hls:hlv-nrizd experi
ence, besides astonishing the natives with
nis metnods of work. Incidentally his city
euuor ana Dreinren ol tne staff will long
hold In memory dear that brief fortnight
Considerable surprise was manifested In
fashionable circles when it was announced
that Mr. Brown had plunged into news
paper work. Few would accept the start
ling Intelligence with a seriousness. Yet
such was the case. Mr. Brown applied for
and secured a position with & morning
newspaper as a reporter.
The prognostications of his Intimate
friends, however, those who said he would
continue at his new vocation less than a
month, were nearer to the truth than
they .at first expected, since Mr. Brown
disappeared as suddenly from the news
paped world as he entered it
Those persons who are daily brought in
contact with the news gatherers of Balti
more are still aghast and never tire of
discussing young Mr. Brown's meteoric
flash about town as a reporter. Few who
saw him seated behind his handsome
span of bay horses, Brandy and Soda,
with a faultlessly groomed footman seat
ed at his side, could realize that this
young scion of wealth was dashing about
town gathering in odds and ends of local
news, to which he had been assigned by
his city editor.
Creates a. Sensation.
The new reporter created quite as much
of a sensation among his fellow-reporters
as he did among those upon whom he
called in pursuit of his duties.
Arriving at his office each day at noon,
he 'was at once the cynosure of all eyes.
Every detail of his stylish and faultlessly
cut London clothes was taken In by his
brethren of the staff, while the Panama,
which he wdre jauntily perched over his
eyeo, was the despair of every man in
this office. A second glance at this hat
was not necessary to prove it to bo the
real thing.
An amusing episode occurred on or about
the third day of Mr. Brown's reportorlal
experience which nearly precipitated the
entire staff of the editorial and reportorlal
departments into a panic. As usual, Mr.
Brown was surrounded by an admiring
group who were closely questioning him
upon some current gottlp concerning num
bers of the smart world, when an object
appeared In their midst not often found
about newspaper offices. It was a tall,
slender negro wearing a faultlessly fitting
buff livery. Silently he strode up to Mr.
Brown and with his hand at the brim of
his well-turned silk hat he solemnly an
nounced: "Your carriage, sir."
With a wave of farewell to his fellow
reporters Mr. Brown proceeded down the
steps, followed at a respectful distance by
his liveried footman. A wild scramble
followed, and the windows were crowded
with members of the staff watching Mr.
Brown, seated on a high T cart with foot
man and coachman in their respective
-places, dashing: off up Baltimore street
at lively clip to cover his day's assign
ments. Mr. Brown talked long and interestingly
a day or two ago of his experience as a
newspaper man, telling why he decided to
take the step and why he gave It up so
soon.
- "You see, it was this way," he said. "The
Governor had set his heart on having me
accompany my sister and him abroad
again this Summer, so I Just balked at this
water Jump and decided Td look out for
myself- I've done Europe repeatedly, and
there Is nothing new in the game for me.
I've been against every game on the Con
tinent from tlddledewiriks to rouge-et-noir.
I've done Ostend until even Anna Held and
her chic bathing costumes ceased to be a
novelty.
"When I told the Governor I would not
go he said It was Europe or go to work,
so I decided od the latter course. Being
more or less fond of excitement and ad
venture, I "decided no vocation could be
more to my liking than that of Journalism.
I applied for a position and I got it and
waded right in.
"How did I like It? Great! Great! Great,
I say; and I'll be back in it again some
day, you can gamble -on that

We had the choice of practically the
entire line of fine pianos manufactured in
the world when we began business.
We selected the ones that we did because
in our best Judgment they are the finest
the best pianos that arc being manufac
tured in the world today.
Years of experience with an exact
knowledge of every detail of the pianos
went Into our selection.
We carry the three greatest American

made by the oldest established piano
makers in the United States; the beautiful
Weber, of New York, renowned for its

"I wanted to keep my expenses down as
low as possible, so I engaged a couple of
rooms and bath at the Stafford and made
arrangements at a neighboring livery sta
ble to put up my horses, which I knew
would be of great use to me In my work.
"Well, the first day's work was suffi
cient to let mo In on the inside of the
newspaper work, and I want to say right
hero it's like picking cherries. It's so dead
easy that I really felt a hesitancy about
drawing my salary.
"The first day the city editor told me to.
cover the 'middle district I sat about
the station house all the afternoon and
saw Justice Fechtlg try a number of cases
of drunks and disorderlies. At night I at
tended a banquet where everything In the
wet line except champagne was handed
up. But then I realized there were to be
disappointments 1n my new profession
as well as in everything else."
"Were you alone In the district all day?"
hazarded the Sun reporter.
"No," Mr. Brown replied. "There was a
fellow along who said he had worked the
central district for several years. He was
simply Bent along In case I needed him;
but I didn't, after all.
"Tho second day was about like the first,
only I was put In another district which
was more of a 'pipe than the middle. As
a peace preserver I am a pippin. Noth
ing happened at all that Is that I heard
of. I believe the other papers had some
items from the same territory, but they
were of no account
"The third day I told my chief that as
my hdrses badly needed exercise I would
like a few assignments in the suburbs. He
fell In with tho proposition, and a friend
and myself spent the afternoon and even
ing bowling along the fine macadam roads
and through shaded lanes, which was far
more pleasant than sitting in a station
house.
"Things went along this way all the
week, and when on the way to the office
on Saturday I met a friend who asked' me
to Join him In A trip over Sunday to At
lantic City. As It was near train time I
called up the office by 'phone and told
them I'd return on Monday, which I did.
I couldn't make out what the man at the
office said. He seemed angry.
"The following week was much the
same as the first I did a little of every
thing about the office, and Incidentally
nearly drove Brandy and Soda off their
feet
"I found many agreeable and equally as
many disagreeable features connected with
the work. I like the banquet end of it
and driving around the suburbs all risht,
but this thing of sitting up In the hot of
fice with telegraph Instruments and type
writers clicking about you and then trying
to recollect "what you were sent out for
and really having nothing to write, there
Is no fun in It
"Another thing I didn't like about the
business was the hours, which r found se

"Why did I decide to give It up? Well,
when I found that there were rumors that
the King was in poor health and the coro
nation was postponed I thought I might
not have another opportunity to see Ed

FILIAL PIETY IN CHINA
A Laud In Which the Fifth Com
mandment la Observed.
Shanghai Mercury.
China has many faults and fallings,
lack of reverence for age, and especially of
respect for parents, is not one of them. It
would naturally be too much to expect
that every son of Han should carry out in
actual life the behests of the high code of
moral law which the genius of his coun
trymen has evolved in consonance with
the "first commandment with promise,"
but custom Is strong, and the conscience
of the people so sensitive on the point that
the unflllal eon is considered a monster
even in the lowest ranks of life.
From his earliest youth the Chinese
child Is taught respect for his elders and
reverence for his parents. This does not
prevent him from being quite as willful
in his way as his Western contemporary,
and sometimes moro eo, inasmuch as his
value as a means of continuing not only
the family name, but the family ancestral
worship give him an exaggerated value
in his parents' eyes of which he Is not
slow to avail hlmcelf. He then acts as a
spoiled boy acts anywhere, and makes
himself the world-wido nuisance of his
kind. And th!c, of course. In spite of the
teaching of the sages, and notwithstanding
the 24 stories of filial piety with which he
is regaled as soon as he can read the
character. He knows of TVu Meng, for
example, the eon of poor parents who
could not afford to buy mosquito curtains,
and he reads, with his tongue in his cheek,
how this model youth acquired a lasting
name by going to He down In his parents'
bed some time before their hour for retir
ing, in order that the mosquitoes might
gorge themselves on his blood and leave
his parents alone. It Is to be feared that
there arfe few Wu Mcngs in these days.
The more amenable child, however,
would even now Imitate the example of
Huang TIng-klen, who did with hl3 own
hands menial service for his father and
mother, though he had attained the high
est ofUces In the 6tate. and there are
many Chinese wemen today who would
not hesitate to keep alive an aged mother-in-law
with milk from their own
breasts, even as Ts'ai Shi did ages ago.
When Dr. F. E. Clark concludes in Septem
ber his nine months' labors abroad there will
be a Xattosal Endeavor organization In every
country la Europe, each with a secretary In
the field.
.Every woman covets a
shapely, pretty figure, and
many of them deplore the
loss or their girlish Forms
after marriage. The bearing
of children is often destructive
to the mother's shapeliness.
All of this can bft jivnidftrl.
