A GALLANT ELEVATOR BOY.
New York Times.
A delicate looking woman entered the
elevator of the Metropolitan life insurance
building at the ninth floor.
‘‘Go a little slowly, will you, please,”
said her rosy cheeked companion to the
elevator boy. ‘‘It makes her sick to fly
down so fast.”
Gently the car descended, much to the
amazement of an elderly gentleman, who
facetiously remarked:
‘‘The down trip is slower than the up
trip, isn’t it?”
“Oh, no,” said the boy. “It requires mus-

To Replace Asiatic Laborers with Ameri-
cans—Japanese Immigrants,
San Francisco, Cali., May 6.—The steam-
er Alemeda, from Honolulu April 29, brings
news that the Australia on April 29,
brought via San Francisco, from the Ha-
waiian minister at Tokio, advices inform-
ing this government that the Japanese war
ship “Naiwa” was on her way to Honolu-
lu with a Japanese commissioner on board,
to investigate the cases of Japanese im-
migrants, who were recently denied land-
ing by this government. The Japanese
now in quarantine were to be liberated
yesterday, but a fresh case of small pox
will keep them in confinement another 18
days.
The Hawaiian cabinet has decided, aft-
er many conferences on the. labor ques-
tion, that Asiatic laborers must be sooner
or later replaced by Americans, and that
the sooner such work was commenced, the
better it would be for the island. How to
apply the remedy was next discussed. The
government decided it was necessary to
open a labor bureau under government au-
spices, planters defraying the expenses-,
as no public funds are available for the
purpose.
THE BAYARDS.
London, May 6.—Ex-Ambassador Bayard
and Mrs. Bay'ard sail for home on Satur-
day. Today they went to Chalfont, St.
Peters, Buckinghamshire, where Pass-
more Edwards, the English George W.
Childs, has established an epileptic col-
ony, consisting of five- homes—two for men
and one each for women, boys and girls,
each having or to have accommodations
for 25 patients. One home is already in
operation; the building devoted to women
was formally opened by Mrs. Bayard to-
day, while Mr. Bayard laid the founda-
tion stone for the second of the men’s
homes, which he formally christened “The
Victoria Home.”
The market for spot cotton today was
dull and featureless. There were no
changes in spot quotations anywhere and
scarcely any change in tone as compared
wtih yesterday. The future markets were
also very steady, the figures being sub-
stantially the same as yesterday.

CORROSIVE SUBLIMATE FOR ANTS.
Washington Star.
Soon the summer pest-ants will begin to
worry the tidy housekeeper. Here is what
is alleged to be a sure remedy; it is inex-
pensive and comparatively harmless, at all
events:.Dissolve one part of corrosive sub-
limate in 100 parts water, which will be a
very strong dose. Remove everything from
the shelves where the ants are, or the car-
pet from the floor where they appear to
come up, and pour boiling water all around
to kill them and clean the wood. Then
pour the corrosive sublimate over the
shelves till, it reaches all the cracks and
crevices, and let it dry in. Then fill your
powder bellows with red pepper and care-
fully blow the cracks and crevices full of
that. Cover the shelves with paper, or put
your carpet back in place, and you will
scarcely be troubled again.

New York, N. Y„ May 6.—The oldest liv-
ing graduate of West Point is celebrating
his 96th birthday today. Gen. George S.
Greene Is his name, and in addition to be-
ing the oldest of American army officers,
he is the oldest man living in American
public life, being three years older than
Neal Dow, and eight years older than ex-
Secretary of the Navy R. W. Thompson.
Gen. Greene was a lieutenant in the army
70 yeans ago-, and a general in the rebellion
at the age of 64, having his jaw shattered
while commanding his brigade in a night
attack of the enemy at the foot of Look-
out Mountain. Despite the fact that he is
within four years of the century mark, he
is as vigorous as most men of 60, and his
advice as consulting engineer is in con-
stant demand. He was chief engineer of
the great Croton aqueduct, later chief en-
gineer of public works at the capital,
where he planned the existing excellent
sewerage system, and later consulting en-
gineer of the Central park commission.

ARBITRATION DEFEATED.
"V ete and Debate in Executive Session of
the Senate.
Washington, D. C„ May 6.—Yesterday
afternoon the senate, by a vote of 43 to 26,
I refused to ratify the general arbitration
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain, negotiated by Secretary
Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote. The rules
of the senate require a majority of two-
thirds for the ratification of treaties.
Hence, four affirmative votes would have
been required to secure a favorable re-
sult. The vote in detail was as follows:
Yeas—Allison, Bacon, Burrows, Caffery,
Clay, Cullom, Davis, Deboe, Fairbanks,
Faulkner, Foraker, Frye, Gallinger, Gear,
Gray, Hale, Hanna, Hawley, Hoar, Lind-
say, Lodge, McBride, McEnery, McMillan,
Mitchell, Morrill, Nelson, Pasco, Perkins,
Platt of Connecticut, Platt of New York,
Pritchard, Proctor, Smith, Spooner, Thurs-
ton, Turpie, Ve§t, Walthall, Warren, Wel-
lington, Wetmore, Wilson. Total, 43.
Nays—Baker, Bate, Butler, Carter, Cock-
rell, Daniel, Hansbrough, Harris of Kan-
sas, Harris of Tennessee', Heitfeld, Jones
of Arkansas, Jones of Nevada, Kyle,- Mar-
tin, Mason, Mills, Morgan, Penrose, Petti-
grew, Pettus, Quay, Baldwin, Roach,
Shoup, Stewart, White. Total, 26.
The vote was preceded by a short, spir-
ited debate, introduced by Senator Mills
of Texas, who made a strong appeal to
the senate against ratifying the agree-
ment. He asserted that as amended the
document was most objectionable, not to
I say contradictory in terms. He pointed
out especially the provisions for the settle-
ment of controversies in regard to terri-
torial claims and asserted that whereas
the amendment adopted by the senate to
the first article of the treaty declared
against their inclusion, the sixth and
eighth articles made provisions for them.
He held that as long as these articles re-
mained unchanged England justly could
claim that questions of territorial rights
were still included within the scope of the
treaty. Under such circumstances, he
asked what was to prevent England from
purchasing the island of Cuba or any other
American territory, and in case of ob-
jection on the part of the United States
insisting upon the reference of the dispute
to arbitration? He sopke of the conduct of
England in connection with the Graeco-
Turkish war and implored the senate to
protect the United States against the pro-
posed alliance.
Senator Hoar replied briefly, going over
the general argument in favor of the
treaty, and contending especially that the
objection of inconsistency in regard to
territorial claims was not well founded.
Among those admitted in the corridors to
receive the news was Mr. Michael Davitt,
who appeared pleased at the result.
Chairman Davis of the committee on for-
eign relations declined to express an opin-
ion for publication, but talked freely with
his friends. To them he attributed the
defeat to the feeling of dissatisfaction at
England’s course in the struggle of the
Greeks to liberate the island of Crete from
Ottoman domination, in the Armenian
massacres, and with the “evident” de-
signs of Great Britain on the Transvaal.
At the conclusion of the proceedings, all
of which was in executive session, the sen-
ate refused to authorize the publication of
the details.

THE SUPREME COURT ON DOGS.
New York Journal.
The United States supreme court Mon-
day decided a case which involved a claim
for damages for killing a dog and which
had made its way from the1 lower courts
of New Orleans through the various
phases of litigation to b® Anally decided
here by the highest court in the land in
opposition to the claim. The suit was in-
stituted by George W. Sentell, jr„ against
the New Orleans and Carrollton railroad
company. The dog, a Newfoundland,
valued at $200, was killed by
by the railroad company.
Justice Brown laid down, the law in re-
gard to dogs in general in the following
terms: “The very fact that they are with-
out protection of the criminal laws shows
that property in dogs is of an imperfect or
qualified nature and that they stand as it
were between animals farae naturae, in
which until subdued there is no property,
and domestic animals, in which the right
of property is complete. They are not con-
sidered as being upon the same plane with
horses, cattle, sheep and other domesticat-
ed animals, but rather in the category of
cats, monkeys, parrots, singing birds, and
similar animals kept for pleasure, curios-
WHOLE PRESERVED ORANGES.
New York Sun.
An old fashioned and unusual dainty is
called whole preserved oranges. These
were made before the days of fancy paper
cases by our grandmothers, who consid-
ei ed nothing labor that gave good results.
The cases can be eaten as well as the fill-
ing. Select well shaped oranges uniform
in size. With a sharp knife cut a round
piece from the top of ea.ch orange and re-
move the inside, keeping the peel whole
Fill the skins with water and stand them
in a pan of water; put them over the fire
and boil until the skins are tender but still
retain their shape; then let them drain.
Make a thick, rich syrup of granulated
sugar and v/ater and put the drained skins
in this syrup, having sufficient liquid to
fill and cover them. Cook them slowly for
40 minutes. Take the skins out and let
them get perfectly cold. Reheat the syrup,
adding more if it is needed, put in the skins
and again cook them; this time for 20
minutes. Repeat this operation until the
skins are clear, letting them get perfectly
cool each time before reheating. When
the skins are done stand them upon a flat
dish to- drain. Make a rich custard or a
cornstarch blanc mange/'-and stir thickly
through it little particles of the orange
pulp and some of the juice. Fill the orange
skins with the mixture and let this filling
becomes perfectly cold before serving.
A CHURCH CYCLE STABLE.
Chicago Times-Herald.
The Fountain street Baptist church, the
largest and wealthiest in Grand Rapids,
Mich, has taken a radical departure on
the bicycle question. Under the personal
direction of Deacon G. J. Johnston a bi-
cycle stable is being erected at one side
of the church entrance with accommoda-
tions for 150 wheels. A boy will be employed
Sunday mornings and evenings to watch
over the wheels placed there for safe keep-
ing while the riders are attending service.
Riders' will be encouraged to attend
church, and the safety deposit shed will be
a factor in the encouragement.

ONLY THE ESTABLISHED.
None But the Episcopal Church Recog-
nized in the Jubilee.
London, May 6.—No denomination save
that of the established church is to be rec-
ognized at the reMgoius service to be held
at St. Paul’s cathedral on the occasion of
the queen’s jubilee. This is the ultimatum
which comes from the authorities in re-
sponse to the protest originally formulated
by the Congregational union of England
and Wales and subsequently indorsed by
the Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians
and other denominations. The memorial,
which simply asked that adequate pro-
visions might be made for representatives
of dissenting churches, was forwarded to
the home secretary and the lord chamber-
lain, and these officials in a joint commu-
nication acknowledged receipt of the com-
munication, but regretted inability to act,
in view of the fact that all arrangements
for the cathedral service were in the
hands of the dean and chapter of St.
Paul’s.
Thereupon a copy of the memorial was
addressed to the cathedral authorities,
and a reply has just been received to the
effect that every available place on the
cathedral steps has been allotted, and
that the dean and chapter do not at pres-
ent see their way clear to comply with re-
quests from any denomination that may
be regarded as antagonistic to the estab-
lished, or Episcopal, church.
Representatives of the various denomi-
nations thus discriminated against will
meet next week and formulate an address
to the nation, calling attention to- the fact
that fully one-half of th© church going
communities of Great Britain attend Cath-
olic, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian,
Congregational, Unitarian and other
churches, and that celebration can be
called a national ceremonial which ex-
cludes the representatives of free
churches, embracing so large a proportion
of the peole of Great Britain. Efforts will
fie made to g©t a cbpy of this protest be-
fore the queen in person, although diffi-
culty may be encountered owing to the
antagonistic attitude of the home secre-
tary.
Valuable time lias been wasted by him, or 1___, '
something NEW each day. It is possible, though, that not all the
housekeepers of Galveston have thought of the fact that the high-priced
manufactures have been offering their Baking Powders to the consumer
for about twenty years at the same old prices, while the cost of the raw
material used in the manufacture of Baking Powder has declined dur-
ing that period about 60 per cent. Now, when the consumer buys the
high-priced Baking Powder, who gets the benefit of the decline in the
cost of material? A school child could see that the MANUFACTURER
gets the benefit. Again, when the consumer buys “GOOD LUCK” BAK-
ING POWDER, who receives the benefit of that decline? The consumer
does, most assuredly.
The success of “GOOD LUCK” is no conjecture; it is now used and
praised by over a million families throughout the South. The demand
for it has DOUBLED each year since it was placed on the market.

TRINITY BI-CENTENNIAL.
New York, N. Y„ May 6.—The bi-cen-
tennial exercises of Trinijty church wer©
conducted today, the address at th© noon
service being delivered by Dr. Huntington
of Grace church. Tofiight there will be a
celebration of all the;‘Sunday schools in
the parish at St. Paul’s chapel. So large
is the number of children in the various
Sunday schools connected, with the parish
that it will be impo®sibl©-;to seat them all
in St. Paul’s, and accordingly, the attend-
ance will be limited to a representation of
100 from each of the nine "schools. Thes©
willjbe accompanied by acolytes, and each
bearing its school baAnerUthe delegations
will unite in a grand festioal service. The
principal address will be delivered by th©
bishop of Washington, Rt. Rev. Henry
Yates Satterlee. It was in St. Paul’s
church that Washington worshipped, and
the exercises tonight will have special ref-
erence to the history of the father of this
country.
This afternoon at 2 o’clock Charles Zuber
was walking along the track of the jetty
railway near the foot of 8th street back of
the Sealy hospital, when he noticed a
bundle of clothing floating on the shallow
wafer between the track and the shore
in a small slough which makes in there.
Th© bundle was about six feet from the
shore at the time Mr. Zuber discovered it.
There was a crab net and line lying on
the track, and this suggested to Mr. Zuber
that perhaps the clothes in the water con-
tained a body. So he took the net and
dragged the clothes ashore and found that
hi.s/surmise h.ad been correct.
The body proved to be that of a boy
about 15 or 16 years old. It was dressed in
a white overshirt, blue undershirt, black
coat and vest and dark striped trousers.
At the time it (was found it is estimated
that the body had been dead two or three
hours.
There were several people in the neigh-
borhood who knew the boy as “Willie,”
but they knew nothing further of him
than that he was an orphan and subject to
epileptic fits. It is supposed that he had
one of these fits while crabbing and fell
into the water and drowned. Some men
on a train on th© jetty railroad say that
this morning about 10 o’clock they saw the
boy crabbing along the track, but had not
noticed him particularly. The poljce were
notified and the body will be taken care of
pending identification.
Repulsed the Turks in Spite of Large Odds
Against.
Headquarters Greek Army in Thessaly,
Pharsalos, May 5.—(Delayed in transmis-
sion.)—The Greeks claim a decisive vic-
tory in the fighting which has taken place
here and at Velestinos .today. The Greek
line was attacked by a strong Turkish
force of 20,000 infantry in addition to large
forces of artillery and cavalry. The Greek
right wing was in command of Col. Mav-
romicha.ls and the left wing was com-
manded by Col. Makris. Both Greek
wings repulsed the Turks with great
slaughter. The railroad station was de-
stroyed by Turkish shells and railway
communication between this point and
Volo is interrupted.
It is estimated that 2000 Turks were
killed at Velestinos. Th© enemy also
abandoned a large number of guns.
Preparations are being made with the
utmost activity for a decisive battle,which
seems Inevitable for tomorrow. The
morale of the Greek forces is now all that
could be desired. The Greeik artillery oc-
cupied a better position than the guns of
the Turks and was well served. Full credit
is given to Gen. Smolensk! for the victory
at Velestinos, and in some quarters it is
claimed that the Turks have been finally
repulsed in that direction. This belief,
however, is not general. Gen. Smolenski’s
great victory was occasion for great re-
joicing here. When the news w-as received
the Greek troops cheered long and enthu-
siastically, apparently overlooking past
reverses and being anxious for another
brush with the enemy. Though it is dif-
cult to predict (the result, there is no
denying that the odds are in favor of the
Turks. They are overwhelmingly strong
in infantry, cavalry and artillery.
INTERVENTION TRUE.
Athens, May 6.—Gen. Smolenski’s brigade
is about to retreat from Velestinos. Smo-
leinski may fall b'ack on Volo and try to
hold that place under protection of the
Greek fleet or he may retreat on Halmy-
rois, with a view possibly of effecting a
junction later with the main body of the
Greek army.
The report that the powers are inter-
vening is confirmed. Ministers of Great
Britain, France, Russia and Italy have
been instructed to propose mediation be-
tween Greece and Turkey, and similar in-
structions to the German and Austrian
ministers are expected every moment.
An Enormous Turnout at St. Louis for
■the Quadrennial.
St. Louis, Mo., May 6.—The national fes-
tival of the North'American turner bund,
which is held quadrennially, opened here
today. All yesterday and this afternoon
train loads of active ia.nd passive turners
from ail parts of the country, as well as
thousands of people who are 'taking ad-
vantage of the lolw railroad rates, have
been coming into thq city, and it is esti-
mated there are 50,000 strangers here.
Last evening 2000 turners arrived, in-
cluding actives from different parts of
Colorado, Birmingham, Louisiana, Phila-
delphia, Brooklyn, Holyoke, Mass., Day-
ton, O., Indianapolis and New Jersey. This
forenoon large delegations arrived from
Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Chicago, Fort
Smith, Little Rock,Washington, Mo., Dav- I
enport, la.., Memphis and Kansas points.
Three thousand visitors came from Cin-
cinnati alone.
At noon when'the festival proper opened
an immense procession of turners, among
whom were 2000 local men, passed through
the business section of the city.
The procession was composed of three
grand divisions, and contained from 6000
to 8000 persons. Later in the day the regu-
lar field exercises began at the fair
grounds, where a great crowd was congre-
gated and witnessed with much interest
the boys and girls of. the Gymnasium
school of St. Louis go through their cales-
thenic and flag exercises.
The Mound city is gaily decorated today
in honor of the opening of the twenty-
seventh festival. The organization has a
membership extending to every state and
almost every coynty in the union, a.nd its
international fests, which are held quad-
rennially, are the great event of every
four years in German Turner circles. Out-
side of the members of the unions proper,
the event attracts a great throng of merry
making Germans, and it is calculated that
fully 100,000 strangers will be in the city
for the week of the fest. The fair grounds
have been rented for the occasion, and
most of the exercises will be held in the
big field within the race track. No prizes
of money or medals are awarded to the
winners of the various events, but they
are crowned with laurel wreaths and rec-
ognized with diplomas, which are as high-
ly prized by the victors as rewards of
greater value. The laurel for the wreaths
has been brought by the California divis-
ion.
There will be the usual oratorical con-
test, and one evening will be devoted to
prize singing. In tlje. .calisthenics com-
petition there will he <a warm struggle be-
tween Davenport, la., Milwaukee and Cin-
cinnati turners.
